- The main event of this week’s broadcast will be a 6-Man New York City Street Fight, featuring Bully Ray, Devon and Tommy Dreamer teaming up to take on EC3, Rhino and Rockstar Spud. After Devon’s shocking return last week, this will mark the first time in years that Team 3D has been reunited. No doubt, they’ll have tables in tow!

- The X-Division Champion Austin Aries has a HUGE decision to make this Thursday on IMPACT. Will he continue as X-Champ, or will the creator of Option C hand the X-Title over in order to challenge Lashley for the TNA World Title at Destination X? Aries makes his decision this Thursday on SPIKE.

- Legendary Japanese star The Great Muta will be making a very rare US appearance on IMPACT this Thursday night as well. Who will step forward to face him?

For the first time in nearly four years, the dangerous Six-Sides of Steel returns in our main event. Six men will enter the sadistic structure with a cherished prize hanging in the balance. The first wrestler to escape the cage becomes the Number One Contender for Lashley's World Heavyweight Title. The six contenders will be... Magnus, Gunner, Bobby Roode, Eric Young and Austin Aries.

One Monster... One crazed brawler... and one instrument of destruction. The war between Abyss and Bram has raged through Monster's Ball matches and now the fate of Abyss's girl... "Janice" hangs in the balance at Hardcore Justice. Fifteen feet above the ring hangs this instrument of destruction, and the first man to retrieve the weapon can use it. Abyss vs. Bram this Wednesday in Stairway to Janice.

The feud between Knockouts Champion Gail Kim and Angelina Love boiled over after last week's episode in a brawl after the show ended. Gail Kim wants to shut up Angelina once and for all at Hardcore Justice. There will be a winner as it will be a Last Knockout Standing match for the Knockouts Title!

Mr. Anderson has never trusted Samuel Shaw nor has he understood Shaw's relationship with Gunner. Now it's time for one man to quit. Mr. Anderson vs. Samuel Shaw in an I Quit Match

Plus a war between two old rivals with the X-Division Title on the line. Samoa Joe defends his X-Division Title Title for the first time against Low-Ki!

At minimum tonight is the final original episode of IMPACT WRESTLING on Spike. Based on coming preemptions around the holidays, it could be the last ever. It is the end of an era, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling made its debut on Spike TV on October 1, 2005, after a few month off cable TV with the expiration of their contract with FOX Sports.

TNA will be back in January 2015 on Destination America which is a Discovery network. The fourth theme/name for the network originally launched in 1996, which is available in around half of all households with a television.

Current IMPACT Champions
World Champion: Bobby Roode
World Tag Champions: The Revolution: "Cowboy" James Storm & Abyss
X Division Champion: VACANT (new Champion crowned tonight)
Knockouts Champion: Havok

IMPACT Preview: X-Title and Knockouts Title on the line; Roode to Call Out Lashley, Bram battles Dreamer, Melendez vs King and MUCH MORE!

Preview Wednesday's huge IMPACT Wrestling broadcast on Spike at 9/8c! If you can't watch the action on Wednesday, make sure to set your DVR!

Last Wednesday on IMPACT, Lashley released his frustration and rage on the IMPACT roster by taking out both Eric Young and Austin Aries. This was done to send a message to the World Heavyweight Champion Bobby Roode. This week, Roode returns to IMPACT and he is looking for retribution. Roode has let it be known that he plans to call out Lashley to fight right at 9PM. Will Lashley answer Roode's challenge? Find out this Wednedsay on Spike.

The TNA Knockouts Championship will be on the line this Wednesday night. Knockouts Champion HAVOK has been seemingly unstoppable since winning the title two months ago. This Wednesday, she faces her toughest battle to date. Havok must defend against both Gail Kim and Taryn Terrell. Gail is out for revenge, Taryn wants her first Knockout Title and HAVOK must prove her dominant status. Who will walk away with the gold?

Last Wednesday on IMPACT, Samoa Joe made a tough decision, having to forfeit the X-Division Championship due to injuries suffered the week before. Kurt Angle has made the decision to crown a new X-Division champion. This week on IMPACT, a four way match; Low Ki battles DJZ, Tigre Uno and Manik - the winner is the new X-Division Champion.

A challenge was issued and has now been accepted. "The New King of Hardcore" Bram has taken pleasure week after week battling and defeating Hardcore legends. This week, he faces the Innovator of Violence, Tommy Dreamer, one on one in a Hardcore Rules Match. Is Dreamer the man extreme enough to stop Bram or will this truly be the coronation of the New King of Hardcore?

Plus, the American war hero Sgt. Chris Melendez returns to singles competition as he goes one on one against Kenny King.

All this plus much more on this Wednesday's Impact Wrestling. Don't miss it at 9/8c only on Spike!
