Frankie Kazarian Sends Bold Message To Impact Locker Room At No Surrender

Frankie Kazarian returned to Impact Wrestling at last month’s Hard To Kill pay-per-view. At the event, the veteran wrestler cut a promo to announce his return to the Anthem-owned wrestling company. Kazarian has set his sights on the top of Impact mountain and appears to be determined enough to make the climb once again in his career.

At Impact No Surrender, Frankie Kazarian battled Big Kon in an intense, violent matchup. Although Kazarian managed to walk away with the victory, Kon almost had the match won at one point. However, the former Impact X Division Champion Kazarian fought off the interference from Alan Angels and nailed Kon with The Slingshot Cutter to pick up the victory.

Following the match, Frankie Kazarian cut a sensational promo to declare he is coming to reclaim his spot at the top of Impact Wrestling.

“The bigger they come, the harder they fall. That may be true, but tonight when it comes to Kon, the bigger they come the harder they brawl, because he did everything in his power to take my head off and he almost succeeded. He’s bigger than me, stronger than me. He doesn’t have my heart, he doesn’t have my fight. It’s not the size of the dog, it’s the size of the fight that dog brings. And this is just number 1, number 1 of my path to the top…and I’ll take everyone on the Impact roster out to get where I belong.”
