World title match headlines next week’s TNA Impact lineup
The countdown is on for TNA Wrestling’s debut on AMC, but there’s some business to be done in the two weeks before that.
Announced during Thursday’s Christmas special edition of the show, the full lineup for next Thursday’s New Year’s Day show was revealed, headlined by TNA World Champion Frankie Kazarian defending against Bear Bronson who won a battle royal earlier this month to earn the shot.
TNA International Champion Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo and fiancee Arianna Grace will speak for the first time since Grace low-blowed her father Santino Marella in last week’s NXT vs. TNA cage match.
The Knockouts division will be well represented as Indi Hartwell, Jody Threat & Jada Stone take on Tessa Blanchard, Victoria Crawford & Mila Moore while The Angel Warriors face The Elegance Brand in a tag team match.
A singles bout between Mustafa Ali and Home Town Man rounds out the announced card.
