Impact News: Impact Wrestling YouTube Report
This week’s episode of Impact Wrestling saw the in-ring debut of Tessa Blanchard, New Tag Team Champions were crowned and the return of Madison Rayne. Here is the YouTube breakdown:
- Austin Aries and Matt Sydal vs Pentagon Jr. and Fantasma: 122K Views
- Eli Drake and Scott Steiner vs Z & E(Impact Tag Team Championship): 109K Views
- Eddie Edwards vs Sami Callihan(Street Fight): 86K Views
- Su Yung holds funeral for Rosemary: 65K Views
- Tessa Blanchard vs Kiera Hogan: 50K Views
- Kongo Kong vs Grado: 22K Views
The winner of this week is the tag team main event. This was a good week for Impact after the past two of low viewership. Of course the main event had the most views, but the Knockouts were still able to put up around their usual numbers. The Sami Callihan/Eddie Edwards feud continues to put up good numbers too. In the tag team main event match, it was two storylines intertwining and it was a fast paced, high flying affair. When you look at the views from this week compared to last week, some have jumped up, while others have faltered. Brian Cage doesn’t even make the top 6, while he barely edged in last week. While its a great idea for him to travel on a world tour, it’s basically random matches against people the fans of Impact don’t know. Like I said last week, the way for Cage to put up tons of views is to put him in a meaningful storyline.
The base number for the Knockouts have been aroud 70K views with Su Yung continuing to be in the top 5 or 6. The newest Knockout, Tessa Blanchard, (who most recently competed in the Mae Young Classic last year) is also becoming a force to be reckoned with.
Ever since the Redemption PPV, Impact has been on a steady incline. You may not notice it, but they have really been putting in the work to turn their image around. I expect there will be a little increase in views or around the same numbers next week

WWE/TKO Cuts and Pay Reductions Could Reshape Wrestler Contract Negotiations
Fightful Select reports that a fresh round of cuts and pay reductions at TKO and WWE is expected to significantly change how talent and their agents approach contract talks. Sources in the talent and agent communities told FightfulSelect there is little confidence that major long-term deals will be honored for their full terms going forward.
The shifting landscape is likely to push wrestlers toward shorter deals, larger guaranteed sums, and more protective contract language as agents recalibrate negotiation strategies. That evolution could alter bargaining power across the industry and prompt broader changes in how promotions structure talent agreements.

WWE Reportedly Scrapped Short LA Knight Program With Gunther in Favor of a Cody Rhodes Push
According to Bodyslam.net, WWE originally planned a short post‑WrestleMania program pitting LA Knight against Gunther, but those plans were reportedly altered so Knight would pursue Cody Rhodes and the Undisputed WWE Championship. There is currently no public word on WWE’s creative direction for Knight following the change.
Knight’s most recent televised appearance was WrestleMania Night One, teaming with The Usos against The Vision and IShowSpeed, after he addressed concerns over a bursa flare‑up that he said would not sideline him. Meanwhile, Gunther — fresh off his program with Seth Rollins — has set his sights on the WWE Championship, attacking Cody Rhodes on the May 1 SmackDown and putting him in a sleeper hold before releasing him and signaling his title intentions.
