IMPACT News: Special Ref For Knockouts Title, Ultimate X Now Set For Homecoming

A look at the updated card for Homecoming after last night’s IMPACT on Pop!

We are just over three weeks out from IMPACT Wrestling’s next pay-per-view extravaganza, Homecoming, taking place on January 6th from the Nashville Fairgrounds, also known as The Asylum.

Heading into last night’s episode of IMPACT on Pop, a number of matches had already been announced for the event, but not all of the details had been officially revealed just yet. In a rematch from Bound For Glory, Taya Valkyrie will get another shot at Tessa Blanchard’s Knockouts Title, but this time there will be a twist. Last night’s IMPACT on Pop saw a change made, as there will be a Special Referee for round two at Homecoming when IMPACT Hall Of Famer Gail Kim dons the official’s stripes.

Also last night, the final two spots in the Ultimate X for the vacant X-Division Championship were also up for grabs. In the first bout, Rich Swann solidified his opportunity with a win over Dave Crist. Later on in the show, Trevor Lee and Trey Miguel clashed in the final qualifier that saw Lee fall just short. Here’s a look at the updated lineup for IMPACT Wrestling’s Homecoming, which you can catch live on pay-per-view Sunday, January 6th at 8PM EST:
