An injury caused Impact World Champion Alex Shelley to miss Friday’s Turning Point event in the United Kingdom.

Shelley was supposed to team with Chris Sabin at Friday’s show in Newcastle, but Frankie Kazarian replaced Shelley in the match. Sabin & Kazarian faced Moose & Brian Myers.

Kazarian vs. Rich Swann vs. Trey Miguel was supposed to take place at Turning Point. With Kazarian replacing Shelley, the three-way bout was changed to a singles match between Swann and Miguel.

Cultaholic reports that Shelley suffered a leg injury during night one of Impact’s UK Invasion tour.

“Shelley was backstage at Turning Point and he was said to be ‘really badly limping.’ The IMPACT World Champion was also extremely frustrated about being unable to wrestle at Turning Point,” Cultaholic wrote. “It is unclear how long Shelley will be out of action and if he will be in action at the remaining two shows of the UK Invasion Tour in Coventry is unknown.”

PWInsider described Shelley’s injury as “an extremely pulled muscle in his calf.”

Shelley & Sabin faced Josh Alexander & Eric Young in a tag team match at night one of Impact’s UK Invasion tour in Glasgow on Thursday.

The Turning Point special from Friday will be available to watch on Impact Plus starting on Friday, November 3.

The UK Invasion tour concludes with shows in Coventry on Saturday (October 28) and Sunday (October 29). Shelley & Sabin vs. Alexander & Young vs. Mark Andrews & Flash Morgan Webster is scheduled for Saturday. Shelley defending his Impact World Championship against Alexander is scheduled for Sunday. Impact hasn’t announced if Shelley will still be competing in those matches.

Joe Hendry will take on Simon Miller at Turning Point in Newcastle, England. The match is Miller’s Impact Wrestling debut. Along with wrestling, Miller is a YouTuber and a host for WhatCulture.
