Three matches, head shaving initiation announced for next Impact

Three matches and a head shaving initiation are on tap for next Thursday’s edition of Impact on AXS — the go-home show for next Friday’s Hard to Kill pay-per-view.

In a trios match, Steve Maclin will team with former rival Moose and Eddie Edwards to take on Rich Swann, Joe Hendry and Jonathan Gresham.

At the pay-per-view, Maclin faces Swann in a falls count anywhere match, Gresham takes on Edwards, and Hendry defends his Digital Media title against Moose.

Brian Myers will face Heath ahead of their respective teams squaring off in a four-way for the Motor City Machine Guns’ Impact Tag Team titles that will also include Bullet Club’s Ace Austin & Chris Bey.

In a storyline that has been playing out over the past few weeks, Sami Callihan will have his head shaved in his initiation into The Design. Deaner is reluctant and has promised retribution if Callihan is laying a trap for his faction.

Knockouts Tag Team Champion Rosemary will take on Savannah Evans. Neither of their respective teams have a match at the pay-per-view so this will likely set something up.

Here’s the current card:

• Steve Maclin, Moose & Eddie Edwards vs. Rich Swann, Joe Hendry & Jonathan Gresham
• Brian Myers vs. Heath
• Rosemary vs. Savannah Evans
• Sami Callihan initiation into The Design
