Impact Wrestling is reportedly not going to air the Sami Callihan vs. Yuya Uemura match that was called off in Las Vegas this weekend.
On Saturday’s Impact TV tapings, Uemura faced off against Callihan in singles action, but the match was called off after Uemura was hit with a “scary” powerbomb by Callihan. According to PWInsider, Uemura was apparently knocked out by the bump, which you can see below.
Now, word from Impact is that the match will not be broadcast on television. Instead, the Rhino vs. Callihan match from this past weekend will air.
Uemura was also scheduled to work a six-man match during the tapings, but he was pulled out of the match out of an abundance of caution. Last night, Uemura took to Twitter to confirm his health.
“I’m good. I will revenge Sami soon!,” he tweeted.
The message translated from Japanese reads, “From now on, pay attention to Yuya Uemura who has an impact!”
Spoilers from Saturday’s taping are available by clicking here. Impact originally advertised Callihan vs. Frankie Kazarian for Saturday’s tapings, then a Fatal 4 Way with Uemura vs. Jonathan Gresham vs. Mike Bailey vs. Black Taurus for Sunday’s tapings. There’s no word on who was booked for the previously unannounced six-man.
Uemura’s full tweet is below, along with a fan tweet from Saturday:
Just saw Sami Callihan drop Uemura on his head on a powerbomb and have to get seen by paramedics. Legit injury. Yikes. @davemeltzerWON pic.twitter.com/bK9ZPuXKNh
