If NXT and Lucha Underground weren't already filling your Wednesday night with enough pro wrestling, TNA is joining them starting on June 3, 2015, as company President Dixie Carter revealed in a tweet earlier today:
BREAKING NEWS: @IMPACTWRESTLING will move to WEDNESDAY nights starting June 3rd on @DestAmerica http://t.co/OqWE7nS9VU
— Dixie Carter (@TNADixie) May 15, 2015
Impact has struggled greatly on Friday nights, despite the fact that SmackDown moved to Thursdays and left it wide open.
The press release:
Destination America's IMPACT WRESTLING, will make a permanent move to Wednesday nights at 9/8c beginning Wednesday, June 3rd. The mid-week knockout premiere will kick off with stellar matches showcasing America's favorite wrestlers.
The tag teams will head to epic battles with The Wolves and the Dirty Heels competing in match three of the Best of 5 Series on their quest to capture the vacated TNA Tag Team Title, and The Rising and the BDC are at war battling it out in a six-man tag team matchup. TNA World Champion Kurt Angle will compete in the main event and the Knockouts will be in action featuring the Dollhouse and Brooke.
Tonight, IMPACT WRESTLING continues its premieres with Hardcore War at 9/8c on Destination America.
While Kurt Angle defeated Eric Young to retain the TNA World Title last week, the feud continues as Young and Angle form teams to compete in a 10-man tag match where each participant can bring a weapon of choice to the ring. Austin Aries and Bobby Roode, the Dirty Heels, will face The Wolves, and a returning Eddie Edwards, in the first of a Best of 5 Series for the TNA Tag Team Titles. The Dollhouse, Marti Bell and Jade, take on Brooke and Rebel in tag team Knockouts action. Ethan Carter III also continues his "EC3 for Champ" campaign and the BroMans return to find out what the future has in store for Jessie, Robbie E and DJ Z.
IMPACT WRESTLING premieres Hardcore War tonight at 9/8c with the permanent switch to Wednesday nights starting June 3rd only on Destination America!
