IMPACT PROMISES 'NEW ERA' NEXT WEEK, CONTRACT UPDATES, WRESTLEPRO EVENT TO STREAM LIVE AND MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2018-01-26 08:31:00

Eddie Edwards stated yesterday that Impact would remain his home "for the foreseeable" future.  His current deal expires in February.

Alberto el Patron's deal expires in March, but given that he is locked in to headline the 4/22 Redemption PPV, it would appear the two sides have come to terms on some sort of extension.  Impact sources would not confirm that Patron has signed a new contract.

Impact will be filming a Moose vs. Alberto el Patron bout taking place this weekend for Future Stars of Wrestling in Las Vegas.

Bobby Lashley has been pulled from all scheduled Impact-related appearances.  He is free and clear to go anywhere he wants as of 2/1.  We have heard his next move is to concentrate on MMA fights, but one would think WWE would be interested.

Impact Wrestling promised that next week's episode would kick off a "new era" for the company:

Impact's relationship with Crash in Mexico is done.

The promotion also announced during last night's Impact Wrestling TV it was announced that the 2/3 WrestlePro event in Rahway, NJ, which is doubling as an Impact Wrestling taping, would stream live on the promotion's Twitch.TV channel.  Announced for the event:

*Tenille Dashwood  (fka Emma) vs. Angelina Love 

*Fallah Bahh vs. Alberto El Patron

*Bobby Wayward vs, Eddie Edwards 

*Chris Payne vs. Matt Sydal 

*Bobby Lashley vs. Danny Maff 

*Braxton & Allie vs. Nikos Rikos and Nikki Adams
