SANADA vs. Jake Something, Tag Team title match set for Impact Emergence

For the first time since 2015, SANADA will return to Impact Wrestling at this month’s Emergence and with the IWGP World Championship in tow.

While his presence was announced some time ago, his opponent for the non-title match was confirmed Thursday: Jake Something.

The streaming special is set for Sunday, August 27th in Toronto, Canada.

SANADA is a former X-Division Champion, feuding with Austin Aries and others over the title in 2014 through early-2015. This will be his first meeting with Something who recently returned to Impact at July’s Slammiversary after leaving the company a year ago.

Impact Tag Team Champions Subculture (Flash Morgan Webster & Mark Andrews) now know who they will be defending the titles against as they will take on The Rascalz.

Trey Miguel & Zachary Wentz picked up a victory in the finals of the four-team Tag Team title eliminator tournament Thursday, defeating Sami Callihan & Rich Swann to earn the shot.

The two used spray paint in Callihan’s eyes, leading to them hitting their Hot Fire Flame finisher to get the pin and win. They are in search of their first-ever run with the gold while Subculture is looking for their third title defense.

Here’s the current card:

• Impact Knockouts Champion Trinity defends against Deonna Purrazzo
• Impact World Champion Alex Shelley, KUSHIDA, Chris Sabin & Josh Alexander vs. Bully Ray, Moose, Brian Myers & X-Division Champion Lio Rush
• Impact Tag Team Champions Subculture (Flash Morgan Webster & Mark Andrews) defend against The Rascalz (Trey Miguel & Zachary Wentz)
• IWGP World Champion SANADA vs. Jake Something in a non-title match
• Knockouts Tag Team Champions Masha Slamovich & Killer Kelly defend against Gisele Shaw & Savannah Evans, The Death Dollz (Jessicka & Courtney Rush) and The Coven (KiLynn King & Taylor Wilde)
