Just eight nights away from Under Siege, don’t miss an all-new IMPACT! this Thursday at 8/7c on AXS TV and 8:30pm ET on YouTube for IMPACT Insiders.

Last week’s main event saw The Coven successfully retain the Knockouts World Tag Team Titles following a miscommunication between Knockouts World Champion Deonna Purrazzo and Jordynne Grace. But after the match, The Coven looked to inflict further damage on their opponents until Trinity made the heroic save. This Thursday, Chicago will play host to another monumental moment as Trinity makes her IMPACT in-ring debut against one half of the Knockouts World Tag Team Champions, KiLynn King. Will Trinity be victorious in her very first match in the IMPACT Zone? Or will King extinguish the glow before it has a chance to shine?

Before these 6 competitors clash in a #1 Contenders match at Under Siege to determine the next challenger for the IMPACT World Title, momentum is up for grabs in tag team action this Thursday. On one side, Alex Shelley, Jonathan Gresham and Yuya Uemura will join forces. Meanwhile, Frankie Kazarian, Eddie Edwards and Moose must unite, which may pose a challenge based on their turbulent past. One thing is for certain, the action will be fast and furious in this star-studded showdown.

Following a life-threatening injury last October, Laredo Kid is back and better than ever. With his sights set on capturing the X-Division Title, Laredo Kid has a huge opportunity this Thursday as he battles the reigning X-Division Champion, Trey Miguel, in non-title action. A win here would surely bump Laredo Kid to the front of the line for a future X-Division Title opportunity. But if there’s one thing we know about Miguel, it’s that he’s willing to do anything in order to score the victory. Who will come out on top in this nonstop adrenaline rush?

Last week, we learned that The Good Hands now sit under the learning tree of pro wrestling veteran, Brian Myers. And it seemed to pay off immediately as they defeated Decay in an important tag team contest. This Thursday, Jason Hotch takes to the ring for singles action against one half of the reigning IMPACT World Tag Team Champions, Ace Austin. If Myers is able to lead Hotch to victory, an IMPACT World Tag Team Title opportunity may be in The Good Hands’ future. Meanwhile, ABC is looking to build momentum en route to their scheduled IMPACT World Tag Team Title defense against SUBCULTURE at Under Siege.

The action begins Before the IMPACT, streaming this Thursday at 7:15pm ET exclusively on YouTube, IMPACT Plus and Facebook. Deaner and Kon of The Design face off against Johnny Swinger and Zicky Dice in a match you won’t see anywhere else. Plus, Gia Miller, Josh Mathews and George Iceman get you ready for all things IMPACT.
