As PWMania.com previously reported, Impact announced today that Alex Shelley will defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Trey Miguel at the event.

Gail Kim, who currently works as a producer and Head of Talent Relations for Impact, revealed on Busted Open Radio that she will be returning to the ring for a match on the show. It is unknown with whom she will wrestle.
