Updated Lineup for Impact Emergence – At Emergence, the upcoming Impact Wrestling event, the Digital Media Title will be up for grabs.
Impact Wrestling has confirmed that Digital Media Champion Kenny King is set to defend his title against Johnny Swinger at Emergence on Sunday, August 27.
Impact noted in their official announcement, “For the better part of 2023, Johnny Swinger was on a quest to earn a coveted IMPACT World Title opportunity – and after defeating his longtime ally, Zicky Dice, in a Loser Leaves IMPACT match, his wish was finally granted. But when Digital Media Champion Kenny King declared himself the ‘champion of the galaxy’, Swinger’s focus shifted away from the World Title and onto the D.M.C. We can now confirm that Johnny Swinger has decided to challenge for the Digital Media Championship and that match will take place at Emergence. In fact, Swinger is so excited about this opportunity that he even made his own graphic [seen below] to promote the bout. When the dust settles, will Swinger complete his quest triumphantly and leave Toronto as the Digital Media Champion? Or will Kenny remain the King of the division?”
Before King can defend at Emergence, he must put the title on the line against Yoshinobu Kanemaru at the Impact x NJPW Multiverse United 2 pay-per-view on Sunday, August 20.
The 2023 Impact Emergence special is scheduled for Sunday, August 27 from the Rebel Entertainment Complex in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It will air live on Impact Plus, on YouTube for Ultimate Insiders members, and on FITE. Below is the updated card, along with the aforementioned tweet:
