We’re celebrating all of IMPACT Wrestling’s history for the 20th anniversary at Slammiversary.
IMPACT Wrestling has announced the return of the Reverse Battle Royal, which was once a part of the Fight for the Right Tournament ahead of Bound for Glory in 2006 and 2007. The rules of the match are as follows:
- All competitors start outside the ring, brawling for the chance to make it into the ring.
- Once 7 competitors are in the ring, it becomes a traditional Battle Royal.
- Then, when it’s down to two competitors, it becomes a one-on-one match, won by pinfall or submission.
According to the official announcement by IMPACT, there are no specific stakes for the winner and none of the participants have been named. You can see the full announcement below:
Then, one of the most notorious match types in IMPACT Wrestling history makes its long-awaited return as the Reverse Battle Royal comes to Countdown.

Prepare for IMPACT’s biggest event of the summer on Countdown to Slammiversary streaming LIVE & FREE this Sunday at 7:30pm ET on IMPACT Plus and YouTube. Don’t miss two exclusive matchups, including an epic championship showdown and the return of a fan-favorite match type!
Despite defeating Matt Cardona at The Wrestling Revolver to become the new Digital Media Champion, Rich Swann does not have possession of the belt he rightfully earned. After Cardona lost, he stole the title and escaped from the venue. But Cardona would suffer an injury, requiring him to step away from in-ring competition. Cardona passed the belt onto his longtime ally, Brian Myers, and the stage is now set. Rich Swann battles Brian Myers with the Digital Media Title up for grabs!
