Impact Wrestling to debut 8-4-1 match at Against All Odds
The card for next month’s Against All Odds streaming special continues to take shape as Impact Wrestling announced both a new match and match type Tuesday.
Called the 8-4-1, the winner will earn an Impact World title shot at July’s Slammiversary.
Featuring eight wrestlers, the match will begin as an eight-man tag team bout. The winners will then compete in a fatal four-way where the victor will earn the title shot.
The teams are Bully Ray, Jonathan Gresham, Heath & Nick Aldis vs. Moose, “Speedball” Mike Bailey, Rich Swann & PCO. Four of the men have held the Impact/TNA World title before.
It joins the previously announced Steve Maclin vs. Alex Shelley match for Maclin’s World title.
Against All Odds takes place on Friday, June 9th from Columbus, Ohio, and will stream on Impact’s Ultimate Insider and Impact Plus.
Here’s the current card:
- Impact World Champion Steve Maclin defends against Alex Shelley
- 8-4-1 match for Impact World title shot: Nick Aldis, Bully Ray, Jonathan Gresham, Heath, Moose, “Speedball” Mike Bailey, Rich Swann and PCO
