10 Reasons You Need To Be Watching Impact Wrestling Right Now

3. Not Afraid To Take Risks

Impact Wrestling had a woman capture their World Championship, which is a title that had only been fought for by males until that point. Regardless of how it all ended, Tessa Blanchard and Impact made history in January.

Add in Jordynne Grace joining the X Division recently - not to mention her seemingly winning the X Division Championship before it was revealed as a non-title bout - and it's clear that the company aren't willing to take a risk every now and again. They were also the one company that people looked down upon, however, their fight towards equality within the industry has been loud and clear.

It's the polar opposite of how they used to look at things. In 2012, Eric Young became one half of the Knockouts Tag Team Champions alongside ODB, with it taking well over a year for the company to strip them of the titles upon the shocking revelation that he was, in fact, a man. The journey from then to now has been bumpy, but it's been a necessary journey.

WWE have toyed with this sort of idea in the past with Chyna, Beth Phoenix, Kharma, and Nia Jax entering different men's Royal Rumble Matches. However, Impact have knocked the ball out of the park in terms of equality between genders as it pertains to their championships.
