Impact Wrestling announced Friday that Moose will replace Alex Shelley in this Saturday s main event of Hard To Kill.
They said Shelley told them last night that due to unavoidable circumstances, he would be unable to travel to Nashville for the high-profile main event that would have pitted himself, Chris Sabin and Impact World Champion Rich Swann against AEW World Champion Kenny Omega and Impact Tag Team Champions The Good Brothers.
In storyline, Moose and Swann are feuding. Moose earned a title shot at last Saturday s Genesis in an I Quit match with Willie Mack despite losing as Swann offered him the opportunity if he quit the match and stopped attacking an unconscious Mack.
