Nearly two months ago, Impact Wrestling announced its comeback to the UK on September 9,  as a part of Wrestling MediaCon 2-day event. Details emerged today that this comeback show will be “Impact vs. the UK” as IMPACT issued a blockbuster open challenge to any UK wrestling promotion to face them in an inter-promotional series at the event.

This challenge was laid down by Ed Nordholm, President of IMPACT Wrestling. “Since we last came to the UK almost three years ago, we have seen how much the UK wrestling scene has evolved. We are excited to return to the UK to demonstrate that IMPACT Wrestling has the best talent anywhere in the world, so we’re issuing an open challenge to any UK promotion to bring their best wrestlers to face the very best from IMPACT Wrestling on September 9 in Manchester,” he explained.

For the organisers of Wrestling MediaCon 2018, this challenge is exciting. “There are many fantastic UK promotions out there and we are expecting a lot of interest in this challenge from IMPACT Wrestling. We are committed to finding the best possible competition for the stars of IMPACT Wrestling in order to showcase the UK wrestling scene in the best possible light.”

Any UK promotions interested in accepting IMPACT Wrestling’s challenge are invited to contact Wrestling MediaCon. Impact Wrestling Executive Vice-President Don Callis and Impact Superstars Johnny Impact, Eli Drake, Moose, Sami Callihan, Eddie Edwards and Matt Sydal are already officially announced to appear. Tickets for IMPACT Wrestling vs the UK live event at Wrestling MediaCon 2018 will go on sale on Friday, May 25 at 10 AM UK time from Ringside World at www.ringsideworld.co.uk.
