Last week’s episode of IMPACT featured The Lucha Brothers defeating oVe in the main event and also featured a World Title match between Austin Aries and Dustin Cameron.
Tonight’s episode also features another World Title match and the return of Alisha Edwards to in-ring action.
Here is what’s happening on tonight’s episode:
- Austin Aries vs. Eddie Edwards (IMPACT World Championship)
The Thursday after Slammiversary Austin Aries issued an open challenge to anyone to challenge him for the world championship. Eddie Edsards wol uld accept the challenge. Tonight Eddie looks to channel his craziness and capture the world championship for the second time. Will we see a new world champion tonight?
- Pentagon Jr. vs. Matt Sydal
Pentagon Jr is coming off a heated rivalry with Sami Callihan and oVe. Just last week he and his lucha brother Fenix defeated oVe in a tag team main event. Sydal is coming off losing his X-Division championship at Slammiversary to Brian Cage and the rematch a week later. Sydal now is questioning himself and looks to bounce back with a victory over Pentagon.
- The Desi Hit Squad vs. Taiji Ishimori & Petey Williams
Two weeks ago Petey Williams and Taji Ishimori went one on one with Ishimori pricking up the win. Kt was after the match that The Desi Hit Squad attacked them from behind so tonight Ishimori and Williams will be looking for revenge.
- Alisha Edwards vs. Tessa Blanchard
We have not seen Alisha on IMPACT TV in some time now. The last time we saw her she was trying to reason with Eddie in the woods after his fight with Callihan. Last week she announced that she would be returning to action for IMPACT. Tonight she makes her return to the ring and will be taking on the buzzsaw known as Tessa Blanchard.
All this and more will be on tap for tonight’s show. Don’t forget to tune in to my live report during the show beginning at the top of the show.

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.
