Setting the scene: I am only making two changes to the existing companies prior to the launch of Amazon Prime All-Star Wrestling.

As of February 2020 Tessa Blanchard was the Impact World Champion. She was eventually stripped of the title and Eddie Edwards won the title in July. For my purposes, This takes place in March. Eddie Edwards will enter as the Impact World Champion.

In December 2019, the Foundation defeated the Briscoes for the ROH Tag Titles. For my purposes, the Briscoes will regain the tag titles in March 2020.
