SITD 12/8/21: JONAH debuts on NJPW & IMPACT, British Invasion Reunites

John Siino reviews this week’s editions of AEW Dark, AEW Dark: Elevation, NXT UK, IMPACT Wrestling, 205 Live, NJPW Strong, NWA Powerrr, Ring of Honor, and Main Event in under 15 minutes on Shot In The Dark.

This week on IMPACT Wrestling, JONAH makes his debut and lays down a couple of challenges in the process. Matt Cardona makes a case for why he should get a World Title opportunity against Moose at Hard to Kill which W. Morrissey has something to say about, and Tenille Dashwood makes her return and learns of the arrival of fellow Aussies, The IInspiration.

NXT UK this week has two championship matches as Meiko Satomura defends the NXT UK Women’s Championship against Xia Brookside and Ilja Dragunov defends the NXT UK Championship against Rampage Brown. Also, Charlie Dempsey must prove himself before being accepted into Teoman’s family.

On NJPW Strong, Josh Barnett returns to a New Japan ring for the first time in 17 years as he is challenged by his student Alex Coughlin, JONAH debuts against Lucas Riley, and Jay White issues a challenge for Christopher Daniels.

Also, Brandi Rhodes makes her wrestling return on AEW Dark, Diamond Mine’s Ivy Nile debuts on 205 Live, The British Invasion reunites on NWA Powerrr, Anthony Ogogo returns on AEW Dark: Elevation, Willow vs. Mandy Leon in a #1 Contenders Match on ROH, Reggie vs. R-Truth on Main Event, and more!
