We'd heard they were coming to IMPACT Wrestling, and the Guerrillas of Destiny have now arrived in the Anthem promotion.

It was announced earlier this month that Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa were to be a part of the IMPACT tapings scheduled to take place on 21 and 22 January, and now we know what role GOD will have to play on upcoming IMPACT programming.

Taped at the Charles Doge Center in Pemrboke Pines, Florida - as per Wrestling Inc - GOD find themselves on an inevitable collision course with the Good Brothers, and the two teams will do battle for Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows' IMPACT Tag Team Titles at the No Surrender PPV on 19 February.

With plenty of animosity in the air between Bullet Club, the Good Brothers and Violent by Design, No Surrender will also see Jay White take on VBD's Eric Young in singles action.

As part of this No Surrender set-up, last night's tapings had the Bullet Club trio pick up a win over Violent by Design's Young, Joe Doering and Deaner, with Switchblade picking up the pinfall on Deaner.

For those not aware, the Guerrillas of Destiny are one of the very best tandems on the planet, having seven IWGP Heavyweight Tag Title reigns to their name, in addition to a World Tag League win, four stints with the NEVER Openweight Six-Man Titles, and also a run as ROH Tag Team Champs.

GOD made an appearance at last August's NJPW Resurgence special to tease something further with the Good Brothers, and it looks like that's what we're set to get across these coming weeks and months in IMPACT.
