The likelihood of it happening: 15%
IMPACT Wrestling's history with Canada is sublime.
They've worked with the likes of Border City Wrestling and SMASH Wrestling to co-promote their IMPACT Plus specials before they switched to an In Your House-esque format in October 2020, with these companies' own shows even uploaded to the on-demand service, too. The company were based out of Canada for a while also, hosting a bulk of shows in Windsor, Toronto, and Mississauga.
Hell, as seen in the picture above, they literally had a faction at one point called Team Canada. This wasn't just used for the World X Cup specials, either; this was a full-time deal. Their coach? Current IMPACT EVP Scott D'Amore. A new version was seemingly teased last year, featuring the disgraced Michael Elgin before he was cut from the promotion.
Let's assume this is the route IMPACT were to take; who's in the faction? Petey Williams is a must, as is Josh Alexander. He's the current X Division Champion, after all. Eric Young, a former member himself, must be kept in Violent By Design. Perhaps a returning Chelsea Green?
