It’s the last stop before Victory Road and IMPACT 1000. Don’t miss an all-new IMPACT! this Thursday at 8/7c on AXS TV and 8:30pm ET on YouTube for IMPACT Insiders.

Just 24 hours before Josh Alexander seeks retribution on Steve Maclin and PCO gets his hands on Bully Ray in an Anything Goes match, an epic tag team main event will set the stage for Victory Road. “The Walking Weapon” will join forces with the “French-Canadian Frankenstein” as they collide with two of their fiercest rivals, Bully and Maclin. Both Alexander and PCO are dead set on revenge and this combustible situation may just explode on IMPACT.

Last week, Alisha Edwards was victorious in a 10-Knockout Battle Royal to become the new #1 Contender for Trinity‘s Knockouts World Championship. With that match made official for Victory Road, we now know that Trinity and Alisha will sign the contract for their highly-anticipated title clash this Thursday on IMPACT. And if history has taught us anything, this contract signing may just end in absolute chaos.

As Deonna Purrazzo prepares for battle against the returning Jordynne Grace at Victory Road, she will first lock up with SUBCULTURE’s Dani Luna this Thursday. Purrazzo is looking to bounce back after being unable to dethrone Trinity as Knockouts World Champion at Emergence, while Luna is out to make a statement against one of the most successful Knockouts in IMPACT history.

One night before KUSHIDA challenges Lio Rush for the X-Division Title at Victory Road, Rush will battle KUSHIDA’s long-time tag team partner in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, Kevin Knight. The brash and cocky X-Division Champion hasn’t made many friends since arriving in IMPACT, and “The Jet” will be firing on all cylinders to teach him a lesson he won’t soon forget.

After losing the IMPACT World Tag Team Titles to the Rascalz, SUBCULTURE will look to get back into title contention this Thursday. But opposing them will be another duo poised to move up the rankings, Rich Swann and Sami Callihan. With the division more stacked than ever, what will happen when two of IMPACT’s top tag teams collide?

Undefeated as a team, the duo now known as JOYA will look to continue their momentum this Thursday. Joe Hendry and Yuya Uemura have been on a roll as of late, most recently defeating the team of Champagne Singh and Shera on Countdown to Emergence. With their sights set on becoming “champions”, can JOYA get the job done on IMPACT?

The action begins Before the IMPACT, streaming this Thursday at 7:15pm ET exclusively on YouTube, IMPACT Plus (live player) and Facebook. After The Good Hands cost ABC their shot at reclaiming the IMPACT World Tag Team Titles, Ace Austin looks to settle the score against Jason Hotch. Plus, Gia Miller, Josh Mathews and George Iceman get you ready for all things IMPACT.
