(STINGER: Impact)

Some new matches are now added to Saturday night’s Impact Plus exclusive Homecoming show.

Josh Alexander will defend the X-Division Championship against Black Taurus.

That’s on top of the already announced Hardcore Match between W. Morrissey and Eddie Edwards...and a one-night mixed tag team tournament to crown the Homecoming king & queen.

Another Impact Plus exclusive show was revealed last night. Emergence is set for August 21st - the same day at SummerSlam.

Kenny Omega will defend the Impact World Championship on that show...against the winner of a battle royale that’s coming up in a couple weeks.

The ELITE HUNTER Frankie Kazarian made a surprise appearance on last night’s Impact...helping Sami Callihan run off Omega and the Good Brothers.

Kazarian is now set for a 6-Man Tag on next week’s Impact - tagging with Callihan and Eddie Edwards...against Omega and the Good Brothers. It’ll be Kazarian’s first match in Impact since he left the company back in 2014.

Jay White’s first match in Impact was a loss. The Good Brothers beat White and Chris Bey. They pinned Bey with the Magic Killer.

After the match, White made it clear that Bey is not YET a member of Bullet Club. Still, Bey later helped White stage an attack on David Finlay on Juice Robinson.

Earlier...FinJuice, Fallah Bahh & No Way beat Ace Austin, Madman Fulton, Rohit Raju & Shera. Finlay pinned Raju.

Moose beat Chris Sabin in last night’s main event.

Rich Swann & Willie Mack beat Violent By Design’s Rhino & Deaner. Swann pinned Rhino with a 450 Splash.

Taylor Wilde handily defeated Kaleb With A K, pinning him with a bridging German suplex.

Trey Miguel and Steve Maclin fought to a double countout on Before The Impact.

It looks like Susan is gone...and Su Yung is back. A vignette last night showed her alongside an “undead” version of Kimber Lee.

(STINGER: New Japan)

Tonight’s New Japan Strong has the finals in the Tag Team Turbulence tournament. It’s the Good Brothers vs. Brody King & Chris Dickinson.

Back in Japan, there’s a busy weekend ahead for the big promotions. New Japan has Summer Struggle shows on Friday and Saturday with an Elimination Tag Match in the main event on both days.

Sunday’s show has the NEVER 6-Man Titles on the line in the main event. Tomohiro Ishii, Hirooki Goto, and YOSHI-HASHI defend against Zack Sabre Jr., Taichi & Minoru Suzuki.

Plus, the “farewell matches” for two Young Lions before they go on excursion. Yuya Uemura goes one-on-one with Kazuchika Okada...and Yota Tsuji faces Tetsuya Naito.

Also, Pro-Wrestling NOAH has a big show on Sunday...with Naomichi Marufuji defending the GHC Heavyweight Title against Kazushi Sakuraba.

(STINGER: ROH)

Ring Of Honor’s women’s title tournament begins on this weekend’s ROH TV...with three first-round matches: Miranda Alize vs. Alex Gracia...Mazzerati vs. Nicole Savoy...and Sumie Sakai vs. Rok-C.

Broadcaster Quinn McKay is officially IN the tournament. She won a fan vote on the ROH The Experience Facebook by an overwhelming majority. McKay will face Mandy Leon in the first round. That match is set for NEXT weekend’s ROH TV.

(STINGER: WWE)

WWE hosted a conference call for investors on Thursday.

There was no confirmation of an upcoming show in Saudi Arabia...but information from WWE does reveal plans for a large-scale international event later this year.

On Thursday’s NXT UK…

Moustache Mountain beat Symbiosis. After the match, NXT UK Tag Champs Pretty Deadly strolled out to jaw at Trent Seven and Tyler Bate.

The pecking order in NXT UK’s women’s division may be starting to take shape.

Jinny beat Aoife Valkyrie thanks to a distraction from Joseph Conners...and Stevie Turner beat Aleah James.

As of Thursday night, there is essentially NOTHING announced for tonight’s SmackDown.

(STINGER: AEW)

Domino’s Pizza told “Front Office Sports” the company is “reassessing” its “advertising presence” after a Domino’s ad appeared alongside the live broadcast of Nick Gage slicing Chris Jericho’s head with a pizza cutter during a picture-in-picture break on TNT during Wednesday’s Dynamite.
