Hard To Kill 2021 will go down as one of the most important nights in Impact Wrestling history.

Manik, Chris Bey, and Rohit Raju had a stellar X Division Championship contest, Eddie Edwards and Sami Callihan's Barbed Wire Massacre outing was as brutal as you'd expect, Kiera Hogan and Tasha Steelz were rightly crowned the first Knockouts Tag Team Champions of the second incarnation, Matt Cardona (fka Zack Ryder) made his Impact debut, and Josh Alexander proved he has what it takes to thrive as a singles star.
