IMPACT News: Non-Spoiler Preview For Tonight’s IMPACT (8/2/18)
Last week’s episode of IMPACT was the post Slammiversary show and we got to see the aftermath from the PPV. Brian Cage defeated Matt Sydal to retain his NEW X-Division Championship and Aries looks to have a new challenger in the form of Eddie Edwards.
Here is what’s on tap for tonight’s show:
- Austin Aries vs. Dustin Cameron (IMPACT World Championship)
This title match came about after Austin Aries interrupted Anthony Carelli’s backstage interview last week. He was introduced a wrestling student of his Dustin Cameron who was having a tryout that day. Aries would challenge Carelli to a match but he declined due to neck injuries so Cameron accepted the challenge in his place.

- Allie & Keira Hogan vs. Su Yung & Undead Maid of Honor
Allie had enough of how Su Yung is running the knockouts division and feels that she has let everyone down as she allowed both Rosemary and Madison to be placed into coffins. Allie says she is going to take down Su but she won’t do it alone. Keira Hogan interrupted her interview to say that she is going to join Allie in the fight against Su.

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.
