Knockouts Tag Team title match announced for next Impact Wrestling

Three matches have been announced for next Thursday’s go-home edition of Impact Wrestling — the final stop before next Friday’s Against All Odds.

After they clashed in a non-title match at Under Siege, Knockouts Tag Team Champions The Coven (Taylor Wilde & KiLynn King) will defend against The Death Dollz (Jessicka & Courtney Rush). The Dollz are also former titleholders.

In a non-title match, Impact Digital Media Champion Joe Hendry will face Sheldon Jean. This was set up in a backstage segment Thursday where Kenny King and Jean confronted Hendry and Director of Authority Santino Marella.

In a preview of the new 8-4-1 match at Against All Odds that will crown a Slammiversary World title contender, Moose & Rich Swann will face Nick Aldis & Jonathan Gresham.

Here’s the current lineup with more expected to be announced in the week ahead:

  • Digital Media Champion Joe Hendry vs. Sheldon Jean in a non-title match
  • Knockouts Tag Team Champions The Coven (Taylor Wilde & KiLynn King) defend against The Death Dollz (Jessicka & Courtney Rush)
  • Moose & Rich Swann vs. Nick Aldis & Jonathan Gresham

New pre-show match announced for Impact Under Siege

Following Thursday’s Impact Wrestling on AXS TV, the final card for Friday’s Under Siege streaming special is set.

The lone new addition to the London, Ontario, Canada, event is Knockouts Tag Team Champions The Coven (Taylor Wilde & KiLynn King) against the Death Dollz (Jessicka & Courtney Rush) in a non-title match.

Wilde defeated Jessicka on Thursday’s show and as Wilde and King attacked Jessicka after the match, Rush (the alter ego of Rosemary) ran out to make the save.

That match, and the Digital Media title match featuring champion Joe Hendry vs. Dirty Dango, will both be on the pre-show that starts at 7:30 PM Eastern with the main card kicking off at 8 PM Eastern.

Here’s the final card that is available on Impact Ultimate Insiders streaming service:

  • Impact World Champion Steve Maclin defends against PCO in a no DQ match
  • Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo defends against Jordynne Grace (if Grace loses, she can’t challenge for the title again while Purrazzo is champion)
  • X-Division Champion Trey Miguel defends against Chris Sabin
  • Impact Tag Team Champions Chris Bey & Ace Austin defend against Mark Andrews & Flash Morgan Webster (w/ Dani Luna)
  • Impact World Championship number one contender’s match: Eddie Edwards vs. Moose vs. Jonathan Gresham vs. Yuya Uemura vs. Frankie Kazarian vs. Alex Shelley
  • Nick Aldis vs. Kenny King
  • The Design (Deaner, Kon & Angels) vs. Sami Callihan, Rich Swann & a mystery partner
  • Trinity vs. Gisele Shaw
  • Pre-show: Knockouts Tag Team Champions The Coven (KiLynn King & Taylor Wilde) vs. The Death Dollz (Jessicka & Courtney Rush) in a non-title match
  • Pre-show: Digital Media Champion Joe Hendry defends against Dirty Dango

Trios bout, Knockouts Tag Team title defense set for next Impact

Next Thursday’s Impact on AXS will feature a high-profile trios match in addition to a Knockouts Tag Team title match.

Impact World Champion Josh Alexander, Rich Swann & Frankie Kazarian will unite against Bullet Club’s KENTA, Chris Bey & Ace Austin.

This was made on this week’s show when Alexander, Swann and Kazarian decided to team up at this month’s Sacrifice streaming special. Later on, Bullet Club were walking around backstage when they challenged the babyface trio to a match next week.

Alexander’s title challenger at April’s Rebellion, Steve Maclin, will be in action against Heath.

Knockouts Tag Team Champions The Death Dollz (Taya Valkyrie & Jessicka) will defend against The Coven (Taylor Wilde & KiLynn King). This was made Thursday when all parties involved, including Rosemary, got into a disagreement over Wilde & King’s use of witchcraft, leading to an additional stipulation that If the Dollz win, Wilde & King have to stop performing it.

Past foes “Speedball” Mike Bailey & Jonathan Gresham will reunite to take on Decay’s Black Taurus & Crazzy Steve.

Here’s the current lineup:

  • Impact Knockouts Champions The Death Dollz defend against The Coven
  • Jonathan Gresham & Mike Bailey vs. Decay
  • Steve Maclin vs. Heath
  • Bullet Club (KENTA, Chris Bey & Ace Austin) vs. Josh Alexander, Rich Swann & Frankie Kazarian
