Finalised Card For IMPACT Wrestling Emergence 2021
Deonna Purrazzo, Melina, Matt Cardona, and more added to IMPACT's Emergence card.
IMPACT Wrestling's Emergence special on IMPACT Plus is tonight (20 August), with four new matches confirmed coming out of last night's AXS TV broadcast.
The in-ring return of Madison Rayne is perhaps the most notable, as she takes on Taylor Wilde. 'The Queen Bee' returned last week, aligning herself with Tenille Dashwood and Kaleb With A K, though this will mark her first match since November. There, she and Tenille lost to Havok and Nevaeh.
Ahead of next weekend's NWA Empowerrr pay-per-view, Deonna Purrazzo and Melina will compete in a tag team match, joined by Matthew Rehwoldt and Trey Miguel, respectively. This came about after Trey saved Melina from Deonna and Matthew last night, with Melina scheduled to challenge for the Knockouts Championship at the aforementioned NWA all-women's pay-per-view.
An eight-person tag team match sees all of Decay - Rosemary, Havok, Crazzy Steve, and Black Taurus - taking on Tasha Steelz, Savannah Evans, Fallah Bahh, and No Way, with Steelz and Evans being potential Knockouts Tag Team Championships challengers for Havok and Rosemary. Finally, Matt Cardona takes on Rohit Raju after he pinned Shera last night.
Importantly, Emergence will begin at the special time of 7pm EST, allowing fans to catch both Emergence and AEW Rampage.
