- Speaking of Homecoming, Johnny Impact is getting support from two former foes in his main event World Championship title match against Brian Cage this Sunday. Nick Wilson, the $1 million winner of Survivor: David vs. Goliath, will be sitting in the front row at Homecoming. Wilson is bringing 10 other Impact fans as well as fellow Survivor contestant Davie Rickenbacker. Wilson and Rickenbacker were aligned on the original David tribe, while Impact battled on the TV show as part of the Goliath tribe. Impact was the seventh voted off the island, on day 22, and the second member of the jury, which ultimately voted Wilson as the Sole Survivor and $1 million winner. Wilson was 13th voted off the island, on day 35, and the eighth member of the jury.

Brian Cage won't be able to blindside me with Nick and Davie watching my back."
