New main event set for Impact’s Redemption PPV
With Alberto El Patron no longer with the company, Impact Wrestling’s upcoming Redemption pay-per-view has a new main event.
It will be Impact World Champion Austin Aries defending his title against Pentagon Jr. and Fenix in a triple threat match. That’s the same matchup that ended up headlining Impact’s show with Lucha Underground in New Orleans this week. Aries & Fenix were supposed to face El Patron & Pentagon at Impact vs. LU, but it was changed due to El Patron not showing up.
Aries revealed the new Redemption main event at tonight’s House of Hardcore show. Pentagon won the non-title meeting on Friday, pinning Fenix after they had taken Aries out of the equation with a double superkick.
Aries vs. El Patron and Pentagon vs. Fenix were originally scheduled for Redemption before the card was changed. The PPV will be taking place at the Impact Zone in Orlando, Florida on April 22nd.
