Tonight at Bound for Glory, Austin Aries lost the Impact World Championship to Johnny Impact, with Impact winning after a brainbuster and Starship Pain.
After the match, just a couple of seconds after the ref counted to three, Austin Aries quickly stood up, no selling his loss, and started flipping off and yelling at someone at commentary (possibly Don Callis, who is one of the main people currently running Impact).
Aries then walked backstage, flipping everyone off. Everyone in the ring and at ringside, including Johnny Impact and Moose looked confused, so it’s not clear if this was a work or shoot…
