An X-Division championship match and the bracket for this Saturday’s Impact Homecoming special on Impact Plus were announced Thursday.
Current champion Josh Alexander was clamoring for a new challenger when EVP Scott D’Amore approached him. D’Amore made the offer for him to defend against Black Taurus which Alexander accepted. This will be his fifth defense of the title since defeating Ace Austin and TJP in a triple threat match at the Rebellion pay-per-view.
The special will be centered around the mixed tag team tournament that will see their first-ever Homecoming King and Queen crowned. The final three teams were announced for the tournament Thursday as Tasha Steelz will join forces with Fallah Bahh, Hernandez will team with Alisha, and Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo will team with a mystery partner.
The brackets were also released which will see Purrazzo and her mystery partner take on Hernandez and Alisha while Jordynne Grace & Petey Williams will face Matt Cardona and Chelsea Green on the left side of the bracket.
On the right side, Rosemary and Crazzy Steve will face Bahh and Steelz while Myers and his mystery partner will face Dreamer and Ellering.
The show will also see Eddie Edwards take on W. Morrissey in a hardcore match.
