A major title change took place at the recent event tonight, where Motor City Machine Guns member Alex Shelley emerged as the new IMPACT World Heavyweight Champion. This exciting development occurred at the Against All Odds event, where Shelley defeated Steve Maclin and claimed the title.

Furthermore, Chris Sabin, Shelley’s tag team partner, secured another singles title after defeating Trey Miguel and earning the X Division Champion title for the ninth time. The event concluded with Shelley celebrating his first-ever IMPACT World Championship with Sabin and Frankie Kazarian.
Shelley’s Qualifying Matches and Championship Victory
Shelley had qualified for the title shot after defeating numerous opponents like Eddie Edwards, Jonathan Gresham, Moose, Yuya Uemura, and Frankie Kazarian at Under Siege on May 26, 2023. Finally, he ended the night as the champion, receiving congratulatory messages and enthusiastic support from fans.

They are set to face each other at Slammiversary.
