IMPACT News: Non-Spoiler Preview For Tonight’s IMPACT Wrestling (7/26/18)
This past Sunday was the 16th Anniversary of IMPACT Wrestling, Slammiversary at The Rebel Complex in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The PPV got rave reviews. The show also saw one title change where Brian Cage defeated Matt Sydal for the X-Division Championship.
Tonight’s IMPACT brings us the fallout from Slammiversary. Here is what’s being advertised for tonight’s show:
- Johnny Impact Returns
Before Slammiversary, the last time Johnny was seen in the IMPACT Zone was when he went one-on-one with Kongo Kong. The match would then be thrown out after Kongo Kong brutally assaulted him. Johnny Impact would then make his return at Slammiversary in an international Fatal 4-Way match where he would pick up the victory. So what’s next for Johnny Impact as he returns to the IMPACT Zone?
- Brian Cage (c) vs. Matt Sydal (IMPACT X-Division Championship)
It was back at the Under Pressure special that Brian Cage won an opportunity to challenge then X-Division champion Matt Sydal. Sydal would eventually retain the championship via count-out due to interference from Jimmy Jacobs and Kongo Kong. Cage would take care of Kong in the following weeks which cleared a path for him to challenge Sydal for the championship at Slammiversary. It was at Slammiversary this past Sunday that Cage would defeat Sydal to win his first championship in IMPACT. It was announced on Twitter this week that Sydal has invoked his rematch clause for tonight.
BREAKING: @findevan has officially invoked his rematch clause and he will challenge NEW X-Division Champion @MrGMSI_BCage THIS THURSDAY at 8pm ET on @PopTV!

- Slammiversary Fallout
This year’s Slammiversary was the 16th Anniversary for IMPACT Wrestling and was highly praised. Tonight, we see the fallout from the PPV.
- Austin Aries’ Championship Address
Austin Aries made his return to IMPACT earlier this year and defeated Eli Drake in seconds to win the IMPACT World Title. Aries would then go on to retain against Drake a couple of weeks later. At Redemption, Aries would drop the title to Pentagon Jr. in a Triple Threat match. Aries would then reclaim the World Title a few weeks later. This past Sunday, Aries would retain his over Moose at Slammiversary, so tonight Aries will be holding a championship address. What will Aries have to say after his victory at Slammiversary?

Former WWE Star Reveals How Company Tests Wrestlers for an “Attitude Problem”
A former WWE star took to social media to explain, in brief, how WWE evaluates its talent to determine whether they have an “attitude problem.” The post offered a glimpse into the company’s behind-the-scenes vetting process, suggesting that behavior and professionalism are actively monitored during a wrestler’s time with the promotion.
While the explanation was limited, the revelation underscores WWE’s focus on maintaining locker-room culture and managing talent dynamics. Fans and industry observers may read the post as further evidence that character and conduct behind the curtain can be as consequential as in-ring performance.
