Josh Alexander vs. Brian Myers set for Impact Hard to Kill pre-show

Impact Wrestling has added a pre-show match to the card for Hard to Kill.

It was announced today that Josh Alexander vs. Brian Myers will take place on Countdown to Hard to Kill this Saturday. Countdown to Hard to Kill is airing on AXS TV and Impact’s digital platforms at 7 p.m. Eastern time. The Hard to Kill main card will then begin on pay-per-view at 8 p.m. Eastern.

“Last Tuesday on IMPACT!, ‘The Most Professional Wrestler’ Brian Myers went to IMPACT Executive Vice President Scott D’Amore and demanded an opportunity. Moments later, an opportunity presented itself when he was confronted by ‘Walking Weapon’ Josh Alexander! Now these two top IMPACT stars will settle their unfinished business from a recent episode of IMPACT! where Alexander was disqualified after The Karate Man attacked Myers during their bout,” Impact wrote.

Myers, who was formerly known as Curt Hawkins in WWE, revealed last week that he’s signed a contract with Impact Wrestling. Myers returned to Impact in July after being released by WWE in April’s roster cuts.

Alexander & Ethan Page are former two-time Impact Tag Team Champions. Page will have his final match for Impact as he faces his own Karate Man alter ego at Hard to Kill.

  • AEW World Champion Kenny Omega & Impact Tag Team Champions The Good Brothers (Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows) vs. Impact World Champion Rich Swann & The Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin)
