Tonight is night 1 of the IMPACT1000 broadcast. The company previously announced a major Knockouts 5 on 5 tag team match with two mystery spots.

Both Gail Kim and Awesome Kong had announced last week that they’ll be returning to the ring to compete in a match, and teaming up as well.

The segment started with Scott D’Amore in the ring and he called out Gail Kim to highlight the Knockouts division.
