Impact Wrestling is back tonight with their first episode since their well-reviewed Slammiversary show on Sunday night.
Tonight’s episode will feature matches and segments taped from Toronto’s Rebel nightclub on the Monday following Slammiversary.
Impact Wrestling 7/26
Austin Aries Championship Address
Austin Aries successfully defended the Impact World Championship against Moose on Sunday night.
Tonight Aries will give his championship address. We could also find out more tonight about who Aries’ next title challenger could be.
Nobody’s at my level. Period.
If you disagree, you’re invited to come prove me wrong…if your boss will let you, of course. #TheTruth #AndStill #ADoubleLevel#TheBeltCollector #TheOralAssassin #TheCompletePackage #TGMTEL#ProWrestler #ProWrestling

X-Division Championship
Brian Cage (c) vs Matt Sydal
After losing the X-Division championship on Sunday, Sydal will have a chance to win it back tonight.
At Slammiversary, Sydal missed a shooting star press (hitting his foot on the top rope) which allowed Cage to hit the Drill Claw for the win. How Sydal missed the shooting star press while having his 3rd eye open is still not entirely clear.
Tonight, Sydal claims it is not him who is asking for a rematch but rather the championship itself. He explained his comments recently on Twitter.
Actually, the X-Division Championship itself invoked the rematch clause. I’m simply flowing with the natural order of things. Nature seeks homeostasis, the X-Division Championship seeks me. ????

Johnny Impact Returns
Johnny Impact returned to the company at Slammiversary following time away for reality television and matrimony commitments.
At Slammiversary, Impact pinned Fenix in the fatal 4-way match. The victory should vault the former title-challenger back up in the rankings. Tonight we will find out more about what comes next for Johnny.
Great meeting @cgrand3 last night at @IMPACTWRESTLING Slammiversary!

Scarlett Bordeaux Debut
Unfortunately, tonight might be Don Callis’ last night on commentary. He does not seem to be able to handle Scarlett Bordeaux.
Somebody needs to check on @CyrusOverHuge after that @Lady_Scarlett13 reveal.
It's safe to say @CyrusOverHuge is already a huge fan of @Lady_Scarlett13. #IMPACTonPop pic.twitter.com/8M8rhyhMod

The Chicago-based indie wrestler will make her Impact Wrestling debut tonight.
Fallout From Slammiversary
Impact Wrestling is also advertising tonight’s episode will see the fallout from numerous Slammiversary matches.
Su Yung is still Knockouts Champion and Madison Rayne is now locked in a coffin. King and the OGz stole the titles from LAX after losing to them at Slammiversary. Several Impact Wrestling storylines will be further developed tonight.
