Impact Wrestling touting ‘major surprise’ for Chicago TV taping

Impact Wrestling is getting into the big announcement business, touting a “major surprise” for this Friday’s TV taping in Chicago, Illinois.

Impact is heading to the Windy City for tapings on both Friday and Saturday at Cicero Stadium as part of Spring Slugfest weekend. There was no hint as what the surprise could be.

The company also released several graphics for matches on Friday:

Knockouts Tag Team Champions The Coven (Taylor Wilde & KiLynn King) vs. Deonna Purrazzo & Jordynne Grace

It wasn’t advertised as a Tag Team title match, but Purrazzo will defend her Knockouts title against Wilde on this Thursday’s Impact on AXS. Purrazzo defeated Grace at this month’s Rebellion to win the vacant title.

Steve Maclin/PCO confrontation

A graphic featuring both men was released ahead of their match for Maclin’s World title at this month’s Under Siege. It’s unknown what their interaction will entail.

Moose & Brian Myers vs. Bhupinder Gujjar & Yuya Uemura

Moose took on Uemura on last week’s Impact on AXS.
