Tag Team title match, Mickie James announcement set for next Impact
After earning the shot at Emergence, The OGK (Matt Taven & Mike Bennett) will get their shot at Impact Tag Team Champions The Good Brothers on next Thursday’s Impact on AXS.
The OGK got the opportunity through Honor No More’s Emergence victory over Bullet Club. However, Maria Kanellis will not be allowed at ringside as that was a stipulation in Karl Anderson’s win over Bennett Thursday.
Former multi-time Knockouts Champion Mickie James will also be on hand to make a special announcement. It’s unknown what it will be related to, but James has spoken recently about her in-ring career coming to an end.
In a no. 1 contender’s match for the Knockouts title, former champion Deonna Purrazzo will face the surging Masha Slamovich. Purrazzo, one half of the Knockouts Tag Team Champions, pinned current champion Jordynne Grace in a tag team match Thursday.
All matches will be taped this weekend in Dallas, Texas.
Here’s the current lineup:
- Impact Tag Team Champions Good Brothers defend against Matt Taven & Mike Bennett
- Deonna Purrazzo vs. Masha Slamovich no. 1 contender’s match
- Mickie James special announcement
