Alex Shelley vs. Jonathan Gresham World title match set for next Impact Wrestling
Alex Shelley will look to defend his Impact Wrestling World title on this Thursday’s Impact Wresting on AXS TV as he faces Jonathan Gresham.
Shelley will be hoping to pick up the sixth title defense of the championship he won in June. He is coming off a successful defense against former titleholder Josh Alexander at last month’s Bound for Glory.
Gresham, the former Ring of Honor World Champion, is still looking for his first taste of Impact gold. This is his first shot at the company’s biggest championship.
In a clash of former Knockouts Champions, Deonna Purrazzo will take on Tasha Steelz.
In a match that has been building for weeks and intensified due to several attacks, Digital Media Champion Tommy Dreamer will defend against Crazzy Steve who earned the shot via a Feast or Fired briefcase.
Here’s the current lineup that was taped following last month’s Bound for Glory:
- Impact World Champion Alex Shelley defends against Jonathan Gresham
- Deonna Purrazzo vs. Tasha Steelz
- Impact Digital Media Champion Tommy Dreamer defends against Crazzy Steve
