Seven-way scramble set for Impact x NJPW Multiverse United 2
In a showcase match for both Impact Wrestling’s X-Division and NJPW’s junior heavyweights, a seven-way scramble will take place at next Sunday’s Impact x NJPW Multiverse United 2.
The pay-per-view is set for Philadelphia’s 2300 Arena on August 20th.
The participants include former Impact X-Division Champions Chris Sabin, Frankie Kazarian and Rich Swann in addition to Kevin Knight, BUSHI, Mao, and El Desperado.
