It’s the last stop before IMPACT’s first LIVE special in almost two years, Turning Point! Don’t miss an all-new IMPACT! this Thursday at 8/7c on AXS TV and 8:30pm ET on YouTube for IMPACT Insiders.

Suzuki. Alexander. A first-time-ever dream match for the ages! After having his IMPACT World Title reign cut short by Moose, Josh Alexander has been hellbent on reclaiming his spot at the top. But first, he must get through a most treacherous roadblock in the form of NJPW legend, Minoru Suzuki. Since coming to IMPACT, Suzuki has been on a path of destruction and a collision with Alexander was imminent. This Thursday, two of professional wrestling’s top athletes will enter the ring but only one will leave Las Vegas standing.

After the Undead Bridesmaids failed to take out Decay at the request of The IInspiration, the reigning Knockouts World Tag Team Champions have vowed to eliminate them from “their” division. This Thursday, Cassie Lee and Jessie McKay battle Kimber Lee and Brandi Lauren just 48 hours before The IInspiration put the Knockouts World Tag Team Titles on the line against Decay at Turning Point!

Before The Good Brothers defend the IMPACT World Tag Team Titles against the Bullet Club at Turning Point, Doc Gallows goes one-on-one with Hikuleo in a clash of giants! Tensions between the two sides have reached an all-time high and momentum heading into this Saturday’s title showdown is up for grabs. Brace yourself for what promises to be a thunderous collision like no other!

Following his victory in the X-Division Title #1 Contenders match, Laredo Kid was blindsided by Steve Maclin, seething over the fact that he has failed to capture the gold, despite his undefeated record. Reigning champ Trey Miguel confronted the master of mayhem and was more than willing to give him another opportunity. This Thursday, Steve Maclin squares off with Laredo Kid and if Maclin wins, he will be added to the X-Division Championship match between Trey Miguel and Laredo Kid at Turning Point!

The action begins on Before the IMPACT, this Thursday at 7/6c on AXS TV. After rebelling against his mentor and eliminating him from the Call Your Shot Gauntlet, Sam Beale goes one-on-one with Brian Myers in a highly-anticipated battle of Teacher vs Student! Plus, Gia Miller, Josh Mathews and George Iceman get you ready for all things IMPACT.

Stay tuned to AXS TV at 10/9c for a new episode of IMPACT in 60, featuring the greatest World Title matches from IMPACT Wrestling’s illustrious history!​

My Dad Suzuki vs Alexander how you can you not watch this Show if not to see what Deonna is wearing in that Sit-down.

I cannot be the only one who's hyped for X Division Maclin

 

[Sky]

I love this tweet. They posted it as if this isn't the most obvious question

 

[Chris]

Updated with the full preview, kinda feel like Myers/Beale blood feud deserves to be off BTI ngl

agreed. laredo match should be on bti instead

 

[Chris]

agreed. laredo match should be on bti instead

I was kidding lol that one has PPV implications and they wasted Laredo Kid enough on BTI that last PPV cycle

 

[Comrade Khan]

hmm thats true. i do still think the beale angle is an actual story and should be on the actual show. i guess all the matches have somewhat stories tho. id usually say put the useless chicks on bti but they fighting iiconics so that's obviously needs to be on tv

 

[Comrade Khan]

I cannot be the only one who's hyped for X Division Maclin

has he not been x division maclin since he came in really? he was in the last x division match on the ppv even

 

[Chris]

He has been X Division this whole time really lol he's had multiple shots or at least contendership opportunities. I just don't understand why but also he hasn't underperformed either I guess

 

[Comrade Khan]

He has been X Division this whole time really lol he's had multiple shots or at least contendership opportunities. I just don't understand why but also he hasn't underperformed either I guess

yeah im not sure why but i suppose the goal is maybe to set up a "monster" in the x div to conquer. problem is they already gave Miguel the belt so im unsure what the plan is now

 

[Sky]

I just find it hard to process tbh, Maclin must have learned mostly from the WWE style having been stuck in NXT for 6 years and yet he's being one of the flying big men

 

[Chris]

He definitely has an "explosive" style to him even without being any semblance of a high flyer so that helps lol

 

[Sky]

NJPW plugging it
