In a press release today, Impact Wrestling announced they are headed to Australia in June & July for the first time. The events will be held on 6/30 & 7/1 Australia time as part of a 4-day tour from 6/29-7/2, with the events being held in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales. The press release notes the events will be broadcast worldwide on FITE, Impact broadcast partners, digital and social media which suggests they should also be available for Impact+ and YouTube Ultimate Insider subscribers and also AXS TV in the US. Tickets go on sale Saturday (Sunday in Australia).
These events replace planned New Japan TAMASHII events and Oceania Cup, the latter of which is postponed due to NJPW scheduling & talent availability issues. While there are no NjPW events during this time and no press release has been put out from New Japan about this, the events would be less than a week after the Forbidden Door 2 joint event with All Elite Wrestling in Canada. The TAMASHII dates had not yet been announced.
More as it becomes available.
