Nick Aldis vs. Kenny King added to Impact Under Siege
The road to what Nick Aldis hopes is a future Impact World title match began on Thursday and will continue at this month’s Under Siege.
Aldis will take on Kenny King as part of the streaming special that is set for Friday, May 26th in London, Ontario, Canada. King was on commentary for Sheldon Jean’s loss to Aldis Thursday on AXS TV.
Aldis made his surprise return at last month’s Rebellion and got in a confrontation with Impact World Champion Steve Maclin after his title win. Thursday marked Aldis’ first Impact singles match in six years.
In another new development Thursday, the main event title match between Maclin and PCO will be a no disqualification affair. Impact president Scott D’Amore made the change following Maclin’s attack on Rhino following Maclin’s successful title defense.
Here’s the updated card:
- Impact World Champion Steve Maclin defends against PCO in a no DQ match
- Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo defends against Jordynne Grace (if Grace loses, she can’t challenge for the Knockouts title again while Purrazzo is champion)
- X-Division Champion Trey Miguel defends against Chris Sabin
- Impact World Championship number one contender’s match: Eddie Edwards vs. Moose vs. Jonathan Gresham vs. Yuya Uemura vs. Frankie Kazarian vs. Alex Shelley
- Nick Aldis vs. Kenny King
- The Design (Deaner, Kon & Angels) vs. Sami Callihan and two mystery partners
- Trinity open contract match
