IMPACT News: Non-Spoiler IMPACT Preview (8/16/18)
Last week on IMPACT Eddie Edwards challenged current IMPACT World Champion Austin Aries for the IMPACT World Championship in the main event. It was during that match that Killer Kross would cost Eddie the title allowing Aries to retain. Will we hear from the new duo tonight?
Here is what’s on tap for tonight:
The OGz vs LAX( Street Fight):
This will be a rematch from the 5150 street fight that we saw between these two teams at last month’s Slammiversary PPV. In that match LAX would retain the tag titles but the OGz got the last laugh by talking the titles and tagging them. Last qeek these two meet in the ring and King laid out a challenge to LAX which leads us to tonight’s street fight.
The OGz vs. LAX.
A MUST-SEE Street Fight.
We settle this where it began THIS THURSDAY! #IMPACTonPop @SantanaLAX @Ortiz5150 @SuperMexCTM @MadKing1981 @Konnan5150 pic.twitter.com/NCyoMPZy6F

Fenix vs Sami Callihan:
Sami Callihan has been in an intense rivalry with Pentagon Jr trying to take his mask which has now involved his Lucha brother Fenix. A couple of weeks ago the Lucha Brothers defeated oVe in tag team action. Callihan is still upset about his lost to Pentagon Jr in a hair vs mask match back at Slammiversary. Tonight Sami lools to get revenge by taking on Fenix. Who will come out on top?
Allie vs Su Yung:
Allie earned her way into this match two weeks ago when she pinned the IMPACT Knockouts Champion in a tag team match. It was back at Under Pressure that Su put Allie into a coffin during a Last Rites match to win the Knockouts Championship. Allie has said on numerous occasions that she is going to be the one to take out Su. Can Allie back up her words and take out the Undead Bride?
The Smoke Show:
Scarlett Bordeaux debuted in IMPACT a few weeks ago and says that she is the smoke show and will not be hot-shamed. Last week on IMPACT Scarlett talked to IMPACT management and asked for a talk show and she got one. How will the debut of the Smoke Show go? Find out tonight on IMPACT.
Jimmy Jacobs vs Johnny Impact:
Since returning from injury Johnny Impact has been trying to get his hands on the monster Kongo Kong. Jimmy Jacobs unfortunately has been an obstacle in Impact’s path. Last week it was made offical that Impact would go one on one with Jimmy Jacobs. This will be Jacobs first match in IMPACT.
Joe Hendry vs Eli Drake:
This is a rematch from their first encounter a couple of weeks ago in Hendry’s IMPACT debut. Eli Drake has been trying to drive a wedge between Grado, Hendry, and Katerina by exposing Katerina cheating on Grado with his best friend Joe Hendry. Will the Namer of dummies avenge his lost to Hendry?
All this and more will be on tap for tonight’s show. Don’t forget to checkout my live report of the show kicking off at the top of the show.

TNA Impact on AMC Drops to 175,000 Viewers, 0.03 18-49 Rating Amid Heavy Sports Competition
TNA Thursday Night Impact averaged 175,000 viewers on AMC last week, a 17.5% decline from the previous week’s 212,000 and the lowest audience since January 22. The show posted a 0.03 rating in the key 18-49 demo, down 25% and matching its lowest demo figure on AMC since the move.
The drop coincided with stiff competition — Impact ran opposite the NFL Draft (simulcast on ESPN, ABC and the NFL Network) as well as NHL and NBA playoff coverage, leaving the program tied for 70th on the primetime cable charts. Versus the prior 10-week average (0.04 rating and 240,300 viewers), last week’s show fell 25% in the demo and 27.2% in overall viewers.

Nick Hogan Open to Pursuing In-Ring Career After Viewing Hulk Hogan: Real American
Nick Hogan told the Bonus Edition of the 83 Weeks podcast that after watching the final version of Hulk Hogan: Real American he’s more open than ever to stepping into the ring if the opportunity presents itself. Hogan said he’s been knocking off ring rust, is in good shape and “would absolutely welcome” the chance to pursue an in‑ring career, and noted the docuseries — which premiered on Netflix on April 22, 2026 — helped clarify his father’s legacy.
He also praised the series for pulling back the curtain on the many facets of Hulk Hogan, from character work to charitable efforts, saying it showed how dynamic a person his father is. Nick added that the long-discussed Chris Hemsworth biopic from 2019 remains a possibility despite delays, as the documentary continues to renew interest in Hogan’s story.
