JOSH ALEXANDER
He is one of the of the most-skilled in-ring technicians who has shined in singles and tag team action – and was the winner of the 2021 IMPACT Male Wrestler of the Year award. A Canada native who still lives north of the border, Josh has been wrestling professionally since 2005 and is known for wearing amateur wrestling headgear after developing a serious case of Cauliflower ear in 2013 that resulted in the temporary amputation of his left ear to remove scar tissue; he wore the headgear to protect the ear after it was reattached.JORDYNNE GRACE
Jordynne Grace is the first Knockouts Triple Crown winner in company history as she has held three championships during her run in IMPACT: the Digital Media Championship, the Knockouts World Championship and Knockouts World Tag Team Championship. A Texas native who has been wrestling professionally since 2011, Jordynne also has excelled as a powerlifter. She holds the World Natural Powerlifting Federation (WNPF) Georgia State and National Record in the squat (320 pounds), bench press (210 pounds) and deadlift (355 pounds) in the 165-pound weight-class. Jordynne ranked No. 12 of the top 100 female singles wrestlers in the Pro Wrestling Illustrated Women’s 100 in 2020.All the IMPACT stars will be in Louisville for the July 15-16 shows, including X-Division Champion “Speedball” Mike Bailey, World Tag Team Champions The Good Brothers (Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson), Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, Ace Austin, Chris Sabin, Eric Young, Madison Rayne, Rosemary, Taya Valkyrie, Heath and others.
