We're inching closer towards the company's biggest event of the summer, Slammiversary, which will also mark the return of fans for the first time since the pandemic era began.
Last week, the company focused on building up new feuds for the July 17th event. With only three matches confirmed for the show so far, fans can expect many more to unveil as soon as this week.
Ahead of the show, several exciting matches have already been announced, including a massive team vs. team bout.
That said, let's take a look at what to expect from the upcoming episode of IMPACT Wrestling.
#5 Team Callis takes on Team Dreamer in a six-man tag team match on IMPACT Wrestling
This week's IMPACT Wrestling will feature an exciting six-man tag team match featuring the team of Don Callis and Tommy Dreamer.
The former's team will include IMPACT World Champion Kenny Omega and the Good Brothers. Meanwhile, Sami Callihan, Moose, and Chris Sabin will represent Tommy Dreamer.
Anthem Board via Tommy Dreamer fired Don Callis from his position as Executive Vice President a few weeks ago. The equation led to Callis seeking revenge from Tommy Dreamer by pitting a team vs. team bout.
Even though the match is entitled to wrestling legends, its primary focus will be around Kenny Omega and Sami Callihan. Both men will also face each other for the IMPACT World Championship match at the Slammiversary event.
In all likelihood, Team Callis seems to be emerging as a clear winner on IMPACT Wrestling this week, considering how well sorted their members are. If we look at Team Dreamer, two of them (Moose and Chris Sabin) despise each other and will lock horns at the Slammiversary event.
Regardless, the match will feature a hard-hitting contest, with every man ought to display big maneuvers. Fans will get to see a preview of what to expect from the company's biggest event.
It shouldn't surprise anyone if the members of Team Dreamer end up betraying each other.
From a storyline perspective, having Team Callis and Kenny Omega stand tall could hint that Sami Callihan will be winning the IMPACT World Championship in front of a jam-packed crowd on July 17th.
If that happens, it will be a surreal moment in IMPACT Wrestling's history, and fans will remember it for years to come.
#4 Satoshi Kojima will face Eddie Edwards on IMPACT Wrestling
In the upcoming episode of IMPACT Wrestling, NJPW legend Satoshi Kojima will collide with Eddie Edwards in a singles contest.
It will be by far the most intriguing match this Thursday. Last week, Eddie Edwards and Satoshi Kojima unsuccessfully challenged Violent By Design's Joe Doering and Deaner for the IMPACT World Tag Team Championships.
Following the defeat, Eddie Edwards requested Satoshi Kojima to face him in a singles contest before the NJPW legend departs for Japan.
Both men hold the utmost respect for each other, and their upcoming bout will be nothing short of a classic.
But both these men must look out for W. Morrisey, who could assault them during or after the match. The former WWE superstar interrupted the backstage segment between Edwards and Kojima last week. He mocked both of these men by calling them a 'bunch of fraud.'
With the looks of it, W. Morrisey seems upset that both are having a match this Thursday. Since he doesn't have an opponent for Slammiversary yet, he could kickstart a feud with Eddie Edwards by ruining his special moment on IMPACT Wrestling this week.
#3 Rich Swann and Willie Mack will face TJP and Fallah Bahh in a tag team match on IMPACT Wrestling
In the upcoming edition of IMPACT Wrestling, TJP and Fallah Bahh will take on Rich Swann and Willie Mack in a tag team contest.
There's a chance that the winner of this match may earn an opportunity to challenge for the IMPACT World Tag Team Championships.
Last week, TJP, Fallah, Swann, and Mack were involved in a backstage segment where they took a trip down memory lane to what happened this past year.
All these men then expressed their desire to become the new IMPACT World Tag team Champions.
It looks like the company has already planted seeds to determine the next challengers for Violent By Design's IMPACT World Tag Team titles.
This week's tag team bout will be an exciting contest considering both teams will be looking to earn a spot at the Slammiversary match card.
Since both teams are playing babyface roles here, it has become hard to predict who could emerge victorious this week. Fans will have to wait until this week's episode of IMPACT Wrestling.
#2 Chris Bey faces Petey Williams on IMPACT Wrestling this week
Another exciting singles contest is lined up for this week's episode of IMPACT Wrestling. Those who love high-flying athleticism types of bouts shouldn't miss the match between Chris Bey and Petey Williams.
Last week, Petey Williams and Trey Miguel were involved in a brutal beatdown from an unexpected alliance between Ace, Raju, Shera, and Fulton. The X-Division Champion Josh Alexander tried to even the odds, but the numbers game caught him as well.
Surprisingly, Chris Bey didn't offer his help. Instead, he was standing on the ramp and was focusing on recording the beat down.
Fans can expect similar chaos this week as well. The chance of having a decisive winner is unlikely. But anything can happen, given the company may have a different route planned.
So expect an appearance from Ace Austin, Trey Miguel, Rohit Raju, and Josh Alexander during or after the match.
Their upcoming match at IMPACT Wrestling Slammiversary hasn't been built to its full potential as of right now. The company must display the value of the X-Division title this week. It could add an X-factor to this multi-man storyline.
#1 Who will be Deonna Purrazzo's opponent for the IMPACT Wrestling Slammiversary event?
IMPACT Wrestling star and Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo doesn't have an opponent yet for the Slammiversary event.
She recently broke her alliance with Susan and Kimber Lee, who claims to have played a significant role in Deonna Purrazzo retaining her championship on multiple occasions.
Deonna Purrazzo defeated Susan last Thursday, further stating that she's finished with both of them. With the Slammiversary event just over two weeks away, it remains to be seen what the company has in store for her.
There's an outside chance that IMPACT Wrestling may book Taylor Wilde to go after the Knockouts Championship. If the company chooses this direction, then they should kickstart this feud as soon as this week.
One should not forget that Taylor Wilde attacked Deonna Purrazzo on her return to the company earlier this year. The seeds have already been planted, and it's all about pulling the trigger on this feud.
Taylor Wilde is a bonafide star in the women's division. A match between Deonna Purrazzo and Taylor Wilde for the Knockouts Championship will grab more eyeballs on the road to the Slammiversary event.
