In regard to one of the most asked questions we receive about Impact, LAX remains in discussions with Impact Wrestling but have not yet signed a new deal with the company. We are told their current deal expires later this summer. Impact sources have noted getting LAX under a longer form deal is one of the their top priorities. LAX vs. The Rascalz is set for the 7/7 Slammiversary PPV.
Online now for PWInsider Elite subscribers is Ethan Page sitting down for a fun, deep discussion covering a wide range of topics about Impact and beyond, including teaming with Josh Alexander, challenging LAX for the Impact Tag Team Championship next month, why he’s thrilled D’Lo Brown is on board as a Producer, thoughts on the recent Impact-Killer Kross/Scarlett Bordeaux contract situation, why wrestlers have to take responsibility for when they agree to sign a contract, how running a wrestling promotion himself gives him a different perspective when it comes to being paid as a wrestler, tag teams he’d like to see come into the company, why he didn’t like teaming with Matt Sydal, producers who collaborate vs. force their vision into matches, his behind the scenes video blog that showcases all aspects of his life, why he wants fans to care about him as a person and not just a wrestler, the next shows he’s running for his company Alpha-1 in Canada, how AEW has changed the water table for independent wrestling, how IndependentWrestling.TV has assisted so many independent promotions, the new App IWTV will be rolling out soon and tons more!

Tommy Dreamer noted how banged up he has been over the last month on social media, writing, "Some things you dont know after a move or match. Rob Van Dam hit me so hard w/his splash his jaw went into my bicep/pec/shoulder. He hurt his jaw & probably suffered another slight concussion. My ribs hurt every time I took a breath for 1 week. My bicep STILL has a lump in it. My arm/shoulder still has little too no mobility. I started physical therapy due to the pain, this week they say I probably tore my labrum or rotator cuff. We both wrestled the next night in the Main Event. This occurred on May 3. I have wrestled 17 times since 13 Main Events. It hurts every time I get in & out of a car. Every time I'm on a plane someone bumps into me, carrying a suitcase,putting my shirt on and simple tasks. My only regret is I havent worked out since because I can't and my weight is getting up there which bothers me personally. This is just my story, every wrestler has one of their own. Just educating everyone the life of a wrestler."
For the record, Dreamer is insane.
The 7/14 Fallout event being presented in conjunction with Destiny Wrestling will be a TV taping in Toronto.
TJP has not officially signed with the promotion yet but the two sides are in conversation.
There will be an Impact Plus event, a live Twitch special and a TV taping the weekend of 8/2-8/4 in California. Dates and venues will be announced next week.
They will also tape in Mexico in August.
There are no current NYC return plans.
