Gail Kim couldn’t let Kong have all the fun. Kim’s greatest rival will become her greatest partner as she returns to the ring as well. Kim challenged all Knockouts, past or present, to stand with them or against them.

The opponents for Kong and Kim have yet to be named.
Impact also revealed the addition of two unique gimmick matches from their history. Rest easy. It won’t be a King of the Mountain match or a reverse battle royal. At least not yet. Impact will showcase the X-Division in Ultimate X. They will also be holding a match to grant a title shot and a pink slip. That’s right. Feast or Fired is back for Impact 1,000.
BREAKING: Who will get a title shot and who will be fired when FEAST OR FIRED returns at #IMPACT1000 on September 9 at the Westchester County Center in White Plains, NY!
