Last month, Knockouts legend Mickie James “went home” following a loss to Chelsea Green on IMPACT. As rumors regarding her retirement from professional wrestling continue to circulate, we can now confirm that James will return to the IMPACT Zone and make a major announcement this Thursday. What does “Hardcore Country” have in store for the wrestling world? Tune in to find out.

Who will challenge Jordynne Grace for the Knockouts World Title at IMPACT’s biggest event of the year, Bound For Glory? That question will be answered when Knockouts World Tag Team Champion Deonna Purrazzo squares off with the undefeated Masha Slamovich this Thursday. Following Jordynne’s successful title defense over Mia Yim at Emergence, she was confronted by the unstoppable Slamovich who made her title aspirations crystal clear. One week later, another contender emerged when the former multi-time Knockouts World Champion Purrazzo pinned Grace in a Knockouts World Tag Team Title match. Gail Kim then made the match official: Deonna Purrazzo vs Masha Slamovich, and only one can earn a golden opportunity in Albany!
