Chris Bey has made an impact in Impact Wrestling since he signed, starting with winning a Fatal Four Way Match for the #1 contender position for the X Division Championship on the second night of Rebellion.
After losing to X Division Champion Willie Mack, Bey figured he needed some help, so he approached Johnny Swinger and told him that Mack had been talking smack about him. Swinger then challenged Mack to a match and lost,
After the match was over, bey came out to help Swinger beat Mack down, cementing their partnership for the foreseeable future.

There were rumors, mainly from Josh Mathews as he argued with Madison Rayne that Bey was using Swinger. It was pretty obvious, but Swinger didn’t see it.
Moving forward
Week by week, the pair moved closer to Chris Bey’s match with Willie Mack at Slammiversary, but then a couple of weeks back Swinger got himself banned from ringside. After a few tries, he managed to finagle his way back to ringside for Bey’s chance at the X Division Championship, but then he heard Bey saying how he was only using him. Swinger then told him he was on his own when he faced Mack for the championship.
The thing is, we’re not sure Swinger really means that. He’s grown attached to Bey and we expect him to play some kind of role in the match.
Outcome
To be honest, we expect Willie Mack to keep the belt but not because he beats Bey, but because Swinger interferes in some way that’s cost Bey his chance at the title. With everything lost, he’ll go after Swinger and this is where it could get interesting.
If this is the way they go, it could be argued that Swinger did this on purpose to test Bey, and it’ll lead him and Swinger into a feud down the road.
Of course, it’s possible that Swinger will get involved when Bey has the match won. Whether it’s through distraction or other means, he’s been around long enough to know some tricks, and we could see a doozy. Whatever he does will give Mack a chance to roll him up for the pin and win.
It’ll potentially lead to a feud between him and Bey, if Bey feels strongly enough about things to go after him. It may even serve as a catalyst for Swinger to go face and that’ll make things interesting on the next episode of Madison Rayne’s Locker Room Talk.
