IMPACT WRESTLING NEWS AND NOTES LEADING INTO TONIGHT'S HARD TO KILL PPV

By Mike Johnson on 2021-01-16 12:59:00

PWInsider.com will have live, ongoing coverage of Hard To Kill tonight at 7 PM EST.

Impact Wrestling will be taping TV in Nashville coming out of Hard to Kill for the next several days starting tomorrow.

Talents who have been brought in for the PPV and tapings are undergoing daily COVID-19 tests, PWInsider.com has confirmed.

Alex Shelley stated that he does not have COVID and is not "orthopedically injured" but is dealing with a "complex issue."  He promised he would return.    Hopefully all is well with him.  The timing on this really, really sucks for the company as any substitution this late in the game just blunts the excitement of the fans for the show.

Tonight is Madison Rayne's final night with the company as she is taking a full-time job outside the industry and the scheduling won't allow for her to continue to be involved.  She'll be sitting down with us tomorrow to discuss exiting the business.

Eric Young's trio will be getting an official name going forward.  The word "violent" is very much in play for the stable name, which may be unveiled as soon as tonight's PPV.

Going forward, Cody Deaner will be simply billed as Deaner.

Jazz is scheduled for this week's TV tapings.

Impact Wrestling is now selling the official Hard to Kill PPV t-shirt at this link.   They are also taking pre-orders on the DVD release of the show.

The new line of Micro Brawlers, including Abyss (!), Eddie Edwards, Moose, Doc Gallows and Jordynne Grace will be officially released Monday.
