2020 has been a difficult year for IMPACT! Wrestling. It started with the COVID-19 pandemic back in March and continued over spring with the releases of Tessa Blanchard and Michael Elgin. But IMPACT faced these challenges with aplomb, bouncing back from it all with vigor at Slammiversary. This year of change and challenge culminates on Saturday night as Final Resolution returns for the first time in 7 years. As the calendar year’s final exclusive event, we can expect plenty of twists and turns leading into 2021. What will the IMPACT Wrestling landscape look like as we approach Hard To Kill…

When #1 Contender Kylie Rae no-showed Bound For Glory, Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo stepped up to keep the show going. The Virtuosa gave an open challenge to anyone in the knockouts division for her Knockouts Championship. She had no idea the risk she was taking, as the villainous Su Yung emerged to answer. After a full year under the alter ego of the cutesy-but-strange Susie, The Undead Bride made her presence known. Su Yung took advantage of a visibly shaken Deonna Purrazzo. Deonna Purrazzo recaptures the Knockouts Championship. ___________________ The following week, Deonna Purrazzo stormed into IMPACT! Wrestling executive Scott…

2020 has been an interesting year for IMPACT! Wrestling. At Hard to Kill in January, Tessa Blanchard became the first woman to hold the IMPACT World Championship, signalling a new dawn for the company. Then, in March, the COVID-19 pandemic changed everything. For the rest of the year, IMPACT! Wrestling produced their shows from Skyway Studios with no live audience. Tessa Blanchard found herself stranded in Mexico, and IMPACT Wrestling stripped her of her title. Then, at Slammiversary, we saw the debut of The Good Brothers, along with the returns of Eric Young, Brian Myers, EC3, and the Motor City…

In addition, The North will defend the IMPACT World Tag Team Championship against The Good Brothers, Rich Swann will defend his IMPACT World Championship against Sami Callihan, and Deonna Purrazzo will face Su Yung in a…

Last week’s episode of IMPACT! Wrestling ended in tragedy, as a mystery assailant shot John E. Bravo at his wedding. The attack on John E. Bravo casts a dark shadow over the company tonight, but the show must go on. The show opens with a compilation of all the times John E. Bravo berated his wedding party, followed by a recap of the wedding itself. After the video package, IMPACT! Wrestling executive Scott D’Amore informs Tommy Dreamer that Bravo is in a coma, but his condition has stabilized. Dreamer then takes charge of the investigation, claiming everyone is a suspect.…
