IMPACT World Title Bout Set For IMPACT Slammiversary, Ultimate X Match Also Announced

IMPACT Wrestling is gearing up for one of its biggest shows of the year, Slammiversary, which will be held on June 19.

The company has officially announced that IMPACT World Champion Josh Alexander will defend the title against the winner of the Gauntlet For The Gold match on the May 12 episode of IMPACT Wrestling. Alexander won the gold by dethroning Moose at the Rebellion pay-per-view on April 23.

The official announcement, courtesy of IMPACT Wrestling’s website, is as follows:

In the span of two weeks, Josh Alexander defeated Moose to become the new IMPACT World Champion at Rebellion, defeated him again in a rematch on IMPACT!, then retained the IMPACT World Title over Tomohiro Ishii at Under Siege. Now the “Walking Weapon” must turn his attention towards Slammiversary where he will defend his title against the winner of this Thursday’s Gauntlet for the Gold. Whoever his opponent may be, Alexander has made one thing abundantly clear – he is ready to take on all challengers as the new face of IMPACT Wrestling!

The high-risk, high-wire spectacle known as Ultimate X will make its anticipated return at IMPACT’s summer pay-per-view extravaganza, Slammiversary! As one of the most exciting match types in all of professional wrestling, Ultimate X played an important role in putting IMPACT Wrestling on the map. This time, Ace Austin‘s X-Division Championship will be on the line but who will his challengers be? Find out as qualifying matches commence on new episodes of IMPACT! on AXS TV.

WrestleZone will provide more information as it becomes available.
