Alex Shelley vs. Trey Miguel, Gail Kim & Awesome Kong tag match added to Impact 1000

The Impact World title will be on the line at the company’s 1000th episode of Impact Wrestling on AXS TV in addition to a tag team match featuring two of the company’s Hall of Famers.

Announced Wednesday, current titleholder Alex Shelley will put the title on the line against former X-Division Champion and current Tag Team Champion Trey Miguel who is looking for his first Impact World title. This is his first Impact World title opportunity since July 2020.

The episode is being filmed at the Westchester County Center in White Plains, New York on Saturday, September 9th, to air the following Thursday.

This will be their fourth-ever singles match and the first in Impact since May 2022. Miguel is 2-1 against Shelley with all matches taking place in 2022.

Unless he defends at Victory Road the night before, Shelley will be looking for the fifth defense of the title he won at June’s Against All Odds.

Announced on Busted Open Radio Wednesday, former Knockouts Champion and Impact Hall of Famer Gail Kim will make her return to the ring for the first time since 2019’s Rebellion. 

Later on, it was revealed that Kim, a current Impact executive, will team with former rival and fellow Hall of Famer Awesome Kong, challenging “any Knockout past or present to either stand with them or against them.”

Here’s the current lineup:
