Saturday’s Final Resolution 2023 event for Impact Wrestling in Toronto, Ontario, Canada featured former WWE NXT UK and current indies wrestler Trent Seven making a surprise appearance.

During the show, The Rascalz gave a backstage promo talking about their attack to ABC earlier and how they are not done with them. Impact Director of Authority Santino Marella showed up and told them they had a guaranteed rematch with ABC at Hard To Kill 2024. The Rascalz responded stating that they did not want to wait which led to Marella stating that if they didn’t want to wait to have a match tonight, then they can face “Speedball” Mike Bailey and a mystery partner and tossed out Trey Miguel’s scheduled singles match against Bailey for the show.

Bailey’s tag team partner was revealed to be Seven and following their victory over The Rascalz, Impact President Scott D’Amore came out and handed Seven an official Impact/TNA contract in the ring. Seven proceeded to sign the contract to make it official.
