IMPACT News: Non-Spoiler Preview For Tonight’s IMPACT (8/2/18)
Last week’s episode of IMPACT was the post Slammiversary show and we got to see the aftermath from the PPV. Brian Cage defeated Matt Sydal to retain his NEW X-Division Championship and Aries looks to have a new challenger in the form of Eddie Edwards.
Here is what’s on tap for tonight’s show:
- Austin Aries vs. Dustin Cameron (IMPACT World Championship)
This title match came about after Austin Aries interrupted Anthony Carelli’s backstage interview last week. He was introduced a wrestling student of his Dustin Cameron who was having a tryout that day. Aries would challenge Carelli to a match but he declined due to neck injuries so Cameron accepted the challenge in his place.

- Allie & Keira Hogan vs. Su Yung & Undead Maid of Honor
Allie had enough of how Su Yung is running the knockouts division and feels that she has let everyone down as she allowed both Rosemary and Madison to be placed into coffins. Allie says she is going to take down Su but she won’t do it alone. Keira Hogan interrupted her interview to say that she is going to join Allie in the fight against Su.

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.
