It was announced today that Shelley & KUSHIDA will face Moose & Brian Myers on this week’s edition of Impact. The show airs on AXS TV on Thursday nights at 8 p.m. Eastern time.
Shelley is the current Impact World Champion. He retained the title against Nick Aldis at Slammiversary earlier this month. Following the match, Shelley was confronted by the returning Josh Alexander.
KUSHIDA won an Ultimate X match at Slammiversary, earning him a future shot at X-Division Champion Lio Rush.
