Impact Wrestling is back tonight with a show on Pop TV. They will also be back on Sunday as they present “Uncivil War” in Knoxville, TN airing live on Twitch.
Several matches have been booked for tonight’s show as well as a segment where we will hear from Austin Aries and his new ally, Killer Kross.
Impact Wrestling Preview 8/16
Austin Aries and Killer Kross Segment
Last week, Killer Kross helped Austin Aries retain his Impact World Championship against Eddie Edwards. Aries is a smart and strategic veteran and he knows if he wants to keep his title, he’s going to need some insurance. Kross makes for some very large insurance.
Tonight, we’ll hear from Aries and Kross and find out more about the nature of their allegiance.
The Smoke Show with Scarlett Bordeaux
Last week on Impact, the management team was left all fluttered after Bordeaux interrupted their meeting. She managed to convince the group of men that the other Knockouts in the division are jealous of her. They somehow decided that giving her a talk show would solve the problem.
We will find out just what Bordeaux has in store for her show tonight.
Fenix vs Sami Callihan
Sami Callihan’s mental stability has never been in more question. After having his head shaved by Pentagon at Slammiversary, Callihan has become even further unhinged.
He’ll have a chance for revenge tonight, however, when he takes on Fenix in single’s action.
Street Fight
LAX vs OGZ
Fans have been raving about how good this match was live and it airs tonight.
LAX may have won a battle at Slammiversary but they didn’t win the war. The OGZ have possession of their tag titles and have even tagged them. If LAX want back their possessions, they’ll have a chance tonight.
As for Konnan, he has been very strategic in how he has approached this rivalry. I wonder if there is more Konnan is worried about…
Johnny Impact vs Jimmy Jacobs
Johnny Impact came looking for Kongo Kong but when Jacobs wasn’t quick enough to produce his monster, Impact punched him in the face.
Last week, Jacobs gave Impact a stern warning: He is the real monster. Jacobs and Impact collide tonight.
Su Yung vs Allie
There are no title belts on the line here as Allie takes on Su Yung. Allie isn’t concerned with championships, she just wants to make sure Su doesn’t lock anyone else in a coffin.
Someone who does care about titles, however, is Tessa Blanchard. Expect the 3rd generation star to be watching this match closely.
