LAX, Santana and Ortiz will make their final Impact appearance on this Friday's TV episode, where they challenge Impact Wrestling Tag Team Champions The North in a title vs. career match. Also scheduled for Friday's TV episode is Rob Van Dam vs. Sawyer Fulton, Fallah Bahh vs. Moose and more.
RVD is making a lot of promotional appearances to push this week's TV tapings locally in Las Vegas, where he now lives. Yesterday, Van Dam tossed out the first pitch at the Las Vegas Aviators game:
The Vegas Week for @IMPACTWRESTLING started today when I threw out the Ceremonial First Pitch at the @AviatorsLV game. Then what an honor to meet Derek Engelland, the heart & soul of the @GoldenKnights. Media stops all week, then IMPACT shows Thursday & Friday at @samstownlv. pic.twitter.com/x1YXPr0F7f

Taya Valkyrie vs. Tessa Blanchard has been officially announced for the 9/15 AAA Lucha Invades New York PPV at the Hulu Theater in Madison Square Garden.
There's been zero update on the Killer Kross situation. One story making the rounds over the weekend is that the company was upset with him over Slammiversary weekend before his First Blood match with Eddie Edwards as Kross refused to blade, leading to the company having to go out and get fake blood at the last minute. That was, to date, the last time Kross was booked for Impact. If any wrestling company gets upset over someone refusing to get color in 2019, that wrestling company doesn't deserve to exist. The Slammiversary PPV took place a week after there was concern about a potential hepatitus outbreak at an independent event in Indiana. It should be interesting to see if Kross is used at the TV tapings this weekend as he lives in Vegas.
