Impact Wrestling announced plans to rebrand the company as Global Force Wrestling, but the business deal was never officially finalized. The company has quietly gone back to being Impact Wrestling, and that’s the brand they’ll be bringing to Canada for the Bound For Glory pay-per-view next month.
Former WWE star John Morrison, now known as Johnny Impact, will wrestle in the main event of Bound For Glory when he challenges Impact Global Champion Eli Drake for his title. You can watch Bound For Glory on pay-per-view November 5.
