The action emanates from Atlanta’s Center Stage on an all-new IMPACT! this Thursday at 8/7c on AXS TV and 8:30pm ET on YouTube for IMPACT Insiders.

Just days after becoming #1 Contender in the first-ever 8-4-1 match at Against All Odds, Nick Aldis showed his true colors when he assaulted Alex Shelley with IMPACT World Title. Last week, Shelley demanded answers but Aldis was nowhere to be found, citing harassment from Shelley’s fans as the reason for his absence. Shelley would go on to send a message to Aldis in the form of a superkick to his on-air host, Jimmy Jacobs. This Thursday, Nick Aldis returns to the IMPACT Zone and will finally explain his actions to Alex Shelley. What will happen with their epic World Title clash quickly approaching at Slammiversary? Tune in to find out.

Against All Odds also played host to the crowning of a new X-Division Champion as Chris Sabin toppled Trey Miguel for a historic 9th reign with the title. This Thursday, Miguel will receive his contractually-obligated rematch and we now know that his highly-anticipated showdown will kick off the IMPACT! broadcast. Miguel would stop at nothing to score the victory when he held the X-Division Title – but what is he willing to do in order to reclaim it?

Before Trinity challenges Deonna Purrazzo in a blockbuster Knockouts World Title match at Slammiversary, she first has some business to take care of this Thursday on IMPACT. At Against All Odds, Trinity joined forces with Purrazzo to defeat Gisele Shaw and Savannah Evans in tag team action – but where “The Quintessential Diva” goes, Jai Vidal is sure to follow. After a heated war of words between Trinity and Vidal, this match was made official as the two adversaries look to settle their differences. Meanwhile, Purrazzo will defend the Knockouts World Title against Shaw this Saturday on the IMPACT Down Under Tour and taking out Vidal would go a long way in evening out the playing field.

Last week, Killer Kelly scored a huge victory over Knockouts World Tag Team Champion Taylor Wilde in singles competition. But after the match, Kelly found herself on the receiving end of a 2-on-1 beatdown when KiLynn King joined the fray. As the situation worsened for Kelly, a shocking turn of events saw her fierce rival, Masha Slamovich, even the odds. This Thursday, Slamovich gets a piece of the action as she goes one-on-one with King in a hard-hitting Knockouts clash.

One week removed from his Digital Media Title opportunity against Joe Hendry, Yuya Uemura looks to bounce back when he battles Kenny King on IMPACT. It’s no secret that King has set his sights on Hendry in recent weeks as he joined the commentary team during Hendry’s defense against Uemura. But does King have what it takes to make a statement this Thursday?

The action begins Before the IMPACT, streaming this Thursday at 7:15pm ET exclusively on YouTube, IMPACT Plus (live player) and Facebook. Bhupinder Gujjar takes to the ring as he battles Johnny Swinger in a match you won’t see anywhere else. Plus, Gia Miller, Josh Mathews and George Iceman get you ready for all things IMPACT.​
