Brian Cage successfully defended the Impact World Championship against Michael Elgin this Sunday night at Slammiversary, but he did so “in a lot of pain, with continued back issues”  according to a report from PWInsider.com.

Cage was injured at the end of April in the main event of Impact Wrestling’s Rebellion pay-per-view, taking a Spanish Fly off the entrance ramp to the floor. He would go on to wrestle more than 10 minutes and win the title from Johnny Impact in that match.
