The road to Bound For Glory heats up as an all-new IMPACT! emanates from Dallas, TX this Thursday at 8/7c on AXS TV and 8:30pm ET on YouTube for IMPACT Insiders.
Matt Taven and Mike Bennett will finally receive their long-awaited IMPACT World Tag Team Title opportunity when they challenge reigning champions The Good Brothers this Thursday. Just a few weeks ago at Emergence, Honor No More defeated Bullet Club in a wild faction war, not only allowing them to remain a group, but granting them this title shot as well. Following months of total nonstop warfare, who will bring gold back to their alliance? Find out when this epic tag team rivalry reaches its boiling point on IMPACT!
Who will challenge Jordynne Grace for the Knockouts World Title at IMPACT’s biggest event of the year, Bound For Glory? That question will be answered when Knockouts World Tag Team Champion Deonna Purrazzo squares off with the undefeated Masha Slamovich this Thursday. Following Jordynne’s successful title defense over Mia Yim at Emergence, she was confronted by the unstoppable Slamovich who made her title aspirations crystal clear. One week later, another contender emerged when the former multi-time Knockouts World Champion Purrazzo pinned Grace in a Knockouts World Tag Team Title match. Gail Kim then made the match official: Deonna Purrazzo vs Masha Slamovich, and only one can earn a golden opportunity in Albany!
Last month, Knockouts legend Mickie James “went home” following a loss to Chelsea Green on IMPACT. As rumors regarding her retirement from professional wrestling continue to circulate, we can now confirm that James will return to the IMPACT Zone and make a major announcement this Thursday. What does “Hardcore Country” have in store for the wrestling world? Tune in to find out.
Following years of worldwide success, one of the world’s top Luchadores, Mascara Dorada, soars into IMPACT Wrestling this Thursday. Competing in an IMPACT ring for the very first time, Dorada will go one-on-one with New Japan Pro-Wrestling star Alex Zayne. As the eyes of the wrestling world are firmly set on Dallas, will Dorada be victorious in his IMPACT debut? Or will Zayne spoil his arrival with a victory of his own?
This Thursday, Mike Bailey looks to continue his impressive reign as X-Division Champion as he puts his title on the line once again. But in order to remain at the top of the mountain, Bailey must get through a former two-time X-Division Champion, Honor No More’s Kenny King. On a night filled with golden opportunities for Honor No More, will Kenny become the King of the X-Division? Or will Bailey add yet another successful title defense to his growing list of accolades?
The action begins Before the IMPACT, streaming this Thursday at 7:30pm ET exclusively on IMPACT Plus, YouTube and Facebook. The young guns of Bullet Club, Ace Austin and Chris Bey, team up to battle IMPACT newcomers JD Griffey and Exodus who will be looking to make a name for themselves in the IMPACT Zone! Plus, Gia Miller, Josh Mathews and George Iceman get you ready for all things IMPACT on the road to Bound For Glory.
Watch IMPACT!
IMPACT Wrestling star Joe Doering is stepping away from competition to take care of his health. The 40-year-old battled brain cancer six years ago and, at last weekend’s taping at The Factory in Dallas, he informed IMPACT Wrestling management that the disease has returned.
Joe will be undergoing surgery in the coming weeks.
He said: “They told me in 2016 that I would never wrestle again, and I proved them wrong. Guess I’m going to have to do it again. I try to not get too sad or emotional about it. Staying positive really helped me the first time, and that’s what I’ll do again.”
After successful treatment including surgery, chemotherapy and radiation in 2016, the 6-foot, 5-inch wrestler was back in the ring within a year. Although that recovery was remarkable, Joe was informed by his doctors the disease could return and that he should remain vigilant.
The two-time IMPACT Wrestling World Tag Team Champion added: “Please keep me in your thoughts and spirits. I hope to get back in the ring again very soon. To the IMPACT Wrestling locker room: you are family to me and I look forward to seeing you again very, very soon.”
Scott D’Amore, IMPACT Wrestling Executive Vice President, said: “I know our fans and the wider wrestling community will join everyone at IMPACT in keeping Joe and his wife Lindsay in their thoughts and prayers. Joe loves pro wrestling and we all look forward to him returning to action when he’s ready.”
The action begins Before the IMPACT with an exclusive match!
Johnny Swinger & Zicky Dice vs Bullet Club (Ace Austin & Hikuleo)
Tag team action kicks off the night as Johnny Swinger and Zicky Dice take on Bullet Club’s Ace Austin and Hikuleo. Swinger hooks Austin’s leg from the outside, allowing Dice to take control. Dice hits a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker on Austin. Swinger and Dice cut off the ring as they begin to wear Austin down. Moments later, Austin avoids a powerslam and makes the tag to Hikuleo. The pace quickens as Hikuleo unloads on his opponents. Hikuleo connects with a chokeslam on Dice. Austin scores the victory following The Fold on Dice!

Knockouts World Tag Team Champions VXT (Deonna Purrazzo & Chelsea Green) vs Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace & Mia Yim – Knockouts World Tag Team Championship
VXT defend their newly-won Knockouts World Tag Team Titles against the formidable duo of Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace and Mia Yim. Purrazzo takes Grace out at the knees, allowing Green to gain the advantage with a DDT. Grace fights back into her corner where she makes the tag to Yim. VXT takes control as they cut off the ring and employ quick tags. Yim avoids an incoming spear, sending Purrazzo crashing into the steel ring post. Yim makes the tag to Grace who hits a big spinebuster on Purrazzo. Grace takes out Purrazzo with a dive but Green cuts off Yim in mid-air with a forearm shot. VXT connect with the Due Collector on Grace as Purrazzo pins her to retain the Knockouts World Tag Team Titles!

IMPACT World Tag Team Champion Karl Anderson vs Mike Bennett w/ Maria Kanellis – If Anderson Wins, Kanellis is Banned From Ringside During the IMPACT World Tag Team Title Match
Before The Good Brothers defend the IMPACT World Tag Team Titles against Matt Taven and Mike Bennett, Karl Anderson goes one-on-one with Bennett tonight. If Anderson wins, Maria Kanellis will be banned from ringside for that match. Anderson is in control as he clotheslines Bennett over the top rope to the floor. Bennett bounces back with a clothesline on the outside. Back in the ring, Anderson hits a running dropkick but Bennett takes him out with a superkick. Anderson connects with his signature spinebuster for two. Kanellis distracts the referee, allowing Taven to get involved from the outside. Doc Gallows evens the odds for Anderson, who hits the Gun Stun on Bennett for three!

It’s main event time as Violent By Design looks to eliminate the longtime allies of KUSHIDA and the Motor City Machine Guns. Violent By Design is in control, slowing down the pace to their advantage. Sabin is being punished by VBD when he explodes with a burst of momentum and makes the tag to KUSHIDA. The pace quickens as KUSHIDA hits a pair of handspring elbows to Young and Doering. Shelley targets the left arm of Deaner, before Sabin takes him out with a running kick. Sabin dives through the ropes, colliding with Doering on the floor. KUSHIDA soars with a flying knee off the apron. Young spikes Sabin with a modified driver but KUSHIDA and Shelley break the count. Young hits a top rope elbow drop on Sabin. Time Machine gain control with a flurry of unique offense. KUSHIDA hits a Pele Kick on Deaner, followed by the Cradle Shock from Sabin to win!

Time Machine celebrates their victory as IMPACT! goes off the air.
The heated rivalry between Sami Callihan, Moose and Steve Maclin is set to explode at Victory Road in a match that promises violence, brutality and bloodshed – this is Barbed Wire Massacre. At Emergence, Callihan exacted a measure of revenge on Maclin for ultimately costing him the Clockwork Orange House of Fun match against Moose. While Moose and Maclin continued to deny a working relationship, Callihan claimed to see through their charade. Two weeks later on IMPACT!, Callihan found himself on the receiving end of a two-on-one assault at the hands of Moose and Maclin as they attacked him with the use of barbed wire. Now they’re set to collide in only the fifth Barbed Wire Massacre in IMPACT history and the first to be contested under Triple Threat rules. Three men will walk into Nashville but will anyone be left standing after Barbed Wire Massacre?
Who will walk the road to victory? Find out when IMPACT Wrestling presents Victory Road LIVE September 23rd on IMPACT Plus and YouTube for IMPACT Ultimate Insiders from Skyway Studios in Nashville, TN! Tickets are on-sale now at Eventbrite.com.

The road to Bound For Glory continues on an all-new IMPACT! this Thursday at 8/7c on AXS TV and 8:30pm ET on YouTube for IMPACT Insiders.
Another chapter in the epic rivalry between Violent By Design and Time Machine will be written in a colossal six-man tag team match this Thursday. Eric Young and Deaner fired the last shot when they defeated the team of Chris Sabin and KUSHIDA at Emergence. But the stakes have been raised as Joe Doering and Alex Shelley are added into the mix. Will Young execute his plan to eliminate KUSHIDA and the Motor City Machine Guns once and for all?
Deonna Purrazzo and Chelsea Green, now known as VXT, are set to make their first Knockouts World Tag Team Title defense since winning the gold at Emergence. Standing across the ring from them will be the formidable duo of reigning Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace and Mia Yim, who recently competed against one another in an instant classic. But with Masha Slamovich at the doorstep of the Knockouts World Champion, can Grace focus on the task at hand and become a dual champion?
At the conclusion of last week’s 6 Way #1 Contenders Elimination match, we learned that Eddie Edwards will challenge Josh Alexander for the IMPACT World Title at the biggest pay-per-view of the year, Bound For Glory. But where there’s one member of Honor No More, the others are sure to follow. As Alexander prepares for perhaps the most important match in his professional wrestling career, he must first do battle against Vincent this Thursday. Will Alexander gain momentum heading into Albany or will Vincent play spoiler in the name of Honor No More?
The age of Honor No More continued at Emergence when they defeated the Bullet Club in a high-stakes showdown, not only allowing them to remain a group in IMPACT Wrestling but also granting them their long-awaited IMPACT World Tag Team Title opportunity. While Matt Taven and Mike Bennett wait for Doc Gallows to return to action, his partner Karl Anderson will go one-on-one with Bennett this Thursday. If Anderson wins, Maria Kanellis will be banned from ringside for the upcoming IMPACT World Tag Team Title match.
Upon her return from the Undead Realm, the destructive force formerly known as Havok has been transformed into the bright, fun-loving Jessicka. But since then, the fortunes of her allies Rosemary and Taya Valkyrie have plunged into a downward spiral, resulting in the loss of their Knockouts World Tag Team Titles. This Thursday, Jessicka vows to turn that all around when she makes her in-ring debut on IMPACT.
At Emergence, Bhupinder Gujjar put up the fight of his life when he challenged Brian Myers for the Digital Media Championship. But when the dust had cleared, it was Myers who stood tall after sending Gujjar head-first into the exposed turnbuckle. Last week, Gujjar claimed that he wasn’t finished with Myers and the loss at Emergence only made him angrier. Now Gujjar must step into the ring against IMPACT newcomer Jason Hotch as he looks to get his hands on Myers once again.
The action begins Before the IMPACT, streaming this Thursday at 7:30pm ET exclusively on IMPACT Plus, YouTube and Facebook. Bullet Club’s Ace Austin and Hikuleo team up to battle Johnny Swinger and Zicky Dice in an exclusive match you won’t see anywhere else! Plus, Gia Miller, Josh Mathews and George Iceman get you ready for all things IMPACT.

Next week on IMPACT: VXT defend the Knockouts World Tag Team Titles against Mia Yim and Jordynne Grace, Jessicka makes her in-ring debut, and Violent By Design vs. Time Machine in six-man tag team action.
Eddie Edwards vs. Sami Callihan vs. Steve Maclin vs. Bandido vs. Rich Swann vs. Moose – Number One Contenders Six Man Elimination Match
Steve Maclin rakes Sami Callihan’s eyes allowing Moose to eliminate Callihan with the Lights Out spear. Maclin immediately capitalises to eliminate Moose with a roll up. Callihan pulls Maclin out of the ring and briefly brawls on the floor. Bandido connects with a Fosbury Flop on Maclin and follows with the 21 Plex in the ring to eliminate Maclin. Rich Swann connects with the Phoenix Splash on Bandido but Edwards throws Swann into the post and claims the victory over Bandido for himself. Swann throws everything he has at Edwards but Edwards connects with the Die Hard Driver to become number one contender to Josh Alexander’s IMPACT World Championship.
