The lineup for Impact Wrestling’s post-No Surrender TV tapings in Las Vegas this weekend continues to be rolled out and adjusted.
Among several matches officially announced, current Impact World Champion Josh Alexander will face KENTA while “Speedball” Mike Bailey will face the debuting Shane Haste — both for their Saturday taping.
