IMPACT WRESTLING NEWS AND NOTES

While Impact is speaking to other TV outlets, there is no end date to their current run on Pop. Their deal with the cable network ends officially on 12/31 but all sides will continue to work together beyond that point as Impact looks for another broadcast home in the United States. During a media call yesterday, Josh Mathews declined to comment on the search, noting that the problem in the past was concern about whether Impact would still be around and now everyone is past that point, likely referring to Anthem taking over ownership. He said everyone would find out together what the next step was.

Santana of LAX, in responding to a fan query about being pulled from the EVOLVE events that would have seen LAX face off with NXT stars The Street Profits, commented on Twitter, "In a perfect world. It would’ve definitely been cool, especially for the fans. But wrestling has proven to us once again that there’s still much more work that needs to be done, in order for all of us us to truly enjoy the endless possibilities."

If anyone is attending the Twitch or PPV tapings this weekend, we are seeking live reports.

Next Thursday's Impact Wrestling will feature:

*Impact Champion Johnny Impact & Taya Valkyrie vs. Knockouts Champion Tessa Blanchard & Moose.

*Willie Mack vs. Jake Crist in a Homecoming PPV Ultimate X Qualifying match.

*The debut of "Dark" Allie, playing off the idea that she has lost her soul to Jim Mitchell.
