Backstage Update on Impact Wrestling Cancelling Several Events

As noted before, Impact Wrestling recently announced the cancellation of several of their upcoming events due to coronavirus-related issues. Among the events cancelled included their TNA: There’s No Place Like Home event on April 3rd in Ybor City, Florida and their Rebellion 2020 event on April 19th in New York City, New York.

Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp reported that as of late last week, Impact talent were not informed of any potential plans by the company to reschedule their TNA: There’s No Place Like Home event to a later date. Sapp reported that many within the locker room were optimistic that the event could still happen at some point in the future considering the buzz it had been generating. It was also reported that the general feeling within the locker room is a mix of disheartenment over events being cancelled and of happiness over how the company has been handling the coronavirus situation.

Sapp also reported that one person he spoke to was very unsure of the direction the company will be going forward due to Rebellion’s cancellation. This feeling reportedly was due to a lot of the footage Impact had taped being specifically meant to lead into Rebellion and it would be “hard to get out of.”
