Recently on IMPACT!, a grueling tournament played out to determine the new #1 Contenders for the IMPACT World Tag Team Titles, currently held by SUBCULTURE. The Rascalz, Rich Swann and Sami Callihan, ABC, and Mike Bailey and Jonathan Gresham put it all on the line in hopes of claiming this coveted opportunity for themselves. When the dust had settled, it was the Rascalz who emerged victorious after Miguel blinded his opponents with spray paint in both tournament matchups. Meanwhile, SUBCULTURE has been defending the IMPACT World Tag Team Titles all over the world and will return to the IMPACT Zone for this high-stakes showdown.
After learning that the current-reigning IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, SANADA, would be making his long-awaited IMPACT return at Emergence, the wrestling world was abuzz with speculation on who his opponent may be. In another jaw-dropping development, we can now confirm that Jake Something will step up to the NJPW megastar in a first-time-ever matchup. SANADA is a former X-Division Champion, which is the same title that Jake challenged for upon his return at Slammiversary. Since then, Jake has put the roster on notice with a series of impressive showings but this bout with SANADA will surely be the toughest test of his career.

As the clock ticks down towards Multiverse United 2 and Emergence, don’t miss an all-new IMPACT! this Thursday at 8/7c on AXS TV and 8:30pm ET on YouTube for IMPACT Insiders.
The Number 1 Contenders Tag Team Championship Tournament will come to a close this Thursday as Rich Swann and Sami Callihan battle the Rascalz. The winning team will move on to Emergence where they will challenge SUBCULTURE for the IMPACT World Tag Team Titles. The Rascalz toppled Mike Bailey and Jonathan Gresham to punch their ticket to the finals. Meanwhile, Swann and Callihan earned their spot by defeating former IMPACT World Tag Team Champions ABC, albeit due to some outside interference from The Good Hands. It all comes down to this – which team will earn themselves a golden opportunity?
Just 10 nights before Deonna Purrazzo challenges Trinity in a highly-anticipated Knockouts World Title rematch at Emergence, “The Virtuosa” will take to the ring for singles competition against KiLynn King. Two weeks ago, Trinity inadvertently struck Purrazzo during a tag team contest, leading to a huge victory for The Coven. Now Purrazzo looks to even the score with King and send a message to Trinity in the process. Will Purrazzo reign supreme this Thursday? Or does King have her number?
Last week, the treacherous trio of Bully Ray, Moose and Brian Myers vanquished Black Taurus and Laredo Kid in a 3-on-2 Handicap match after X-Division Champion Lio Rush took out Samuray Del Sol, who was scheduled to make his IMPACT debut in the bout. Afterwards, Bully was haunted by a ghost from his past, the monstrous PCO. This Thursday, Bully must refocus as he locks horns with Black Taurus in a No Disqualifications match. But with the whereabouts of PCO unknown and his huge 8-man tag team match looming at Emergence, can Bully focus on the task-at-hand?
Deaner was convinced that he had eliminated Eric Young once and for all. But after Young made his valiant return at Slammiversary, it was revealed that he narrowly survived the vicious attack.
