With Slammiversary just days away, TNA Wrestling has added a singles match to the June 25th episode of Thursday Night iMPACT that puts a Knockouts title challenger in action one final time before the pay-per-view.
Xia Brookside is set to face Harley Hudson on the June 25th iMPACT, which serves as the last TNA program before Slammiversary on June 28th. Brookside heads into that episode with major stakes already established — she is booked to challenge Léi Yǐng Lee for the Knockouts World Championship at Slammiversary.
The timing of the match is a familiar booking move: giving a title challenger high-profile ring time in the final week before a big show helps keep momentum going and reminds the audience exactly what’s on the line. For Brookside, the opportunity to head into Slammiversary with a strong showing on iMPACT could carry some psychological weight as she prepares to chase the Knockouts title.
With Slammiversary shaping up as one of TNA’s marquee events of the year, the June 25th iMPACT figures to be a packed night of final build across the card. The Brookside-Hudson match is one piece of what promises to be a loaded go-home show for the promotion.
