(STINGER: Impact)

\\n\\n

It turns out last week\\u2019s episode of Impact was the last one that will ever be streamed on Twitch.

\\n\\n

Impact is launching a new subscription service on YouTube. 99 cents per month will now get you Thursday night\\u2019s Impact Wrestling shows, which also air on AXS TV.

\\n\\n

$4.99 per month gets you access to Impact\\u2019s pay per view library and other original programming.

\\n\\n

The Impact World Champion Kenny Omega will be in action on tonight\\u2019s Impact Wrestling. He\\u2019s set to tag with the Impact Tag Champs the Good Brothers...against Sami Callihan, Eddie Edwards...and the ELITE HUNTER Frankie Kazarian. It\\u2019ll be Kazarian\\u2019s first match in Impact since he left the company back in 2014.

\\n\\n

Also announced for tonight, a 4-Way X-Division Title #1 Contender Match: Jake Something vs. Daivari vs. Rohit Raju vs. Trey Miguel.

\\n\\n

Plus, Chris Bey vs. Juice Robinson. Jay White is set to be in Bey\\u2019s corner...and Fire n\\u2019 Flava vs. Jordynne Grace & Rachael Ellering.

\\n\\n

(STINGER: AEW)

\\n\\n

Cody Rhodes appeared to be on the verge of announcing his retirement at the end of last night\\u2019s Dynamite. He had removed his boots in the ring...after a loss to Malakai Black in last night\\u2019s main event.

\\n\\n

However, Cody couldn\\u2019t finish his emotional post-match address to the crowd at Daily\\u2019s Place before Black returned and cracked Cody across the back with a crutch.

\\n\\n

Christian Cage is the new #1 contender to Kenny Omega\\u2019s AEW Championship. Christian pinned The Blade on last night\\u2019s show.

\\n\\n

Omega and the rest of The Elite put a beating on Hangman Page in the ring last night. Dark Order wanted to help out but Hangman had told them earlier that they should \\u201cgo their separate ways\\u201d...at least, for now..

\\n\\n

The ELITE HUNTER Frankie Kazarian tried to help Hangman, but couldn\\u2019t overcome the numbers advantage of The Elite.

\\n\\n

LEGIT Leyla Hirsch is next in line for a shot at the NWA Women\\u2019s Championship held by Kamille. Hirsch submitted The Bunny last night. Kamille was ringside and had a staredown with Hirsch after the match. The NWA later announced that title match will happen at its Empowerrr pay per view on August 28th.

\\n\\n

Lee Johnson put up a good fight, but Miro was able to put him away with his Game Over submission to retain the TNT Championship.

\\n\\n

Chris Jericho pinned Juventud Guerrera with a Judas Effect from the top rope. The 4th \\u201cLabour Of Jericho\\u201d next Wednesday will be against Wardlow with MJF stationed at ringside.

\\n\\n

We also learned the commentary team for Rampage will be Excalibur, Mark Henry, Chris Jericho and Taz.

\\n\\n

FTR\\u2019s Cash Wheeler is recovering from a nasty gash to his forearm. It happened during a match on last Wednesday\\u2019s Dynamite. On his Instagram, Wheeler said he\\u2019ll be fine...but he also added that he\\u2019s not sure when he\\u2019ll be cleared to return to action.

\\n\\n

AEW\\u2019s Tony Khan is responding to backlash over the latest pre-match rap by The Acclaimed\\u2019s Max Caster. It aired during Tuesday\\u2019s episode of Dark. But you can\\u2019t watch it on AEW\\u2019s YouTube now. It was removed from the show after it first aired.

\\n\\n

On Wednesday\\u2019s Busted Open Radio, Khan called the rap \\u201cterrible\\u201d...and added that he\\u2019ll be taking over editing of Dark and Dark: Elevation to prevent similar issues in the future.

\\n\\n

Also, Beyond Wrestling announced Wednesday that Caster will \\u201cno longer be appearing\\u201d on its show tonight. Beyond did not specify the reason for the change.

\\n\\n
