Impact Wrestling will be returning to Dallas to start off 2022.
As announced today by the promotion, January’s Hard To Kill pay-per-view event will take place at The Factory in Dallas, Texas on Saturday, January 8th. This will mark the second time that Impact has hosted an event in the building, as the 2020 edition of Hard To Kill emanated live from the same building. On that show, Tessa Blanchard defeated Sami Callihan to become the first woman to ever hold the Impact World Championship.
Impact has held their recent events at Sam’s Town in Las Vegas, as they held the Bound For Glory pay-per-view at the venue and have also done television tapings. The promotion currently has one more set of tapings scheduled at Sam’s Town in November, as well as the Turning Point Impact Plus show that will air live.
Impact Wrestling returned to the Rebel Entertainment Complex in Toronto on Sunday for their first of two nights of television tapings.
