Impact to Replay Free on YouTube, Facebook for AEW Crossover Episode

Published Tue, 08 Dec 2020 17:56:02 -0600

It looks like Impact Wrestling is looking to maximize a potential viewership increased coming out of the ending to last week's AEW Dynamite: Winter is Coming event. In addition to the regular airings of Impact on AXS TV and Twitch tonight, the show will also replay for free on YouTube and Facebook, ensuring pretty much anyone who wants to watch the show can find a way. And it seems likely a lot of people will want to watch since the episode will feature the first appearance by Kenny Omega since winning the AEW Championship from Jon Moxley last week with help from Impact's Don Callis. The result shocked the wrestling world and kicked off a full-blown super-mega-crossover event between the two promotions.

Kenny Omega will make his first appearance as AEW Champion not on Dynamite, but on Impact Wrestling.

It's a smart move for the company, as AXS TV isn't as widely available as TNT, where Dynamite airs. Here's the press release announcing the replays from Impact's website.
