Ladies and gentlemen, the new champ. The Impact Wrestling Grand Championship made its debut last October at “Bound For Glory 2016” and has been a bit of a controversial title since. Using a very unique round system, the title has changed hands multiple times in the nine months since the title debuted and that’s the case again.

According to 411mania.com, Ethan Carter III defeated Moose to become the new Impact Wrestling Grand Champion at Wednesday’s TV tapings. The title change wasn’t without controversy though, as the match ended in a split decision but was decided when Bruce Prichard scored the final round 10-8 for Carter, giving him the title. Here’s a photo from the taping showing the new champion:

Opinion: This makes sense as it’s not like Moose has been doing anything of note with the title. Carter seems to be ready to move back into the World Title picture and taking the midcard title is a good way to get on that path. However, I really hope there isn’t a power struggle/evil boss story going here as it’s been done to death so many times in this company that I never need to see it again.
