Eli Drake Takes On Abyss In A Monster's Ball Match At Impact Homecoming, Jake Crist Joins Ultimate X
Impact Homecoming takes place on January 6 at The Asylum in Nashville, Tennessee. A few more pieces were added to the card after last night's Impact.
First off, Jake Crist defeated Willie Mack in an Ultimate X match qualifier for the currently vacant Impact X-Division Championship. Brian Cage cashed in "Option C" where he had to relinquish the title to get a shot at Johnny Impact's World Championship. Crist's three opponents will be determined over the next couple weeks.

Next, Eli Drake thought he had disposed of Joseph Park, but his alter-ego, Abyss, sent a personal invite to Drake for a Monster's Ball match at Homecoming. The most recent Monster's Ball match took place last November at Impact Bound for Glory where Abyss defeated Grado.
