Impact Wrestling announced two matches for this weekend’s TV tapings following the No Surrender special on Friday night.
KENTA will wrestle Impact World Champion Josh Alexander, while former WWE star Shane Haste aka Shane Throne/Slapjack, will take on “Speedball” Mike Bailey. Both bouts will take place on Saturday night.
Haste signed with WWE in 2016 alongside his longtime tag team partner Mikey Nichols, who took on the name Nick Miller before he was released in 2018. WWE repackaged Haste as Slapjack, a member of the Retribution stable. He was later moved to SmackDown after the group split up and was released in November 2021.
