Hogan notably wrestled for IMPACT from 2018 to 2021, last appearing for the company in August. It was revealed in September that Hogan had signed a deal with AEW. It’s not currently confirmed exactly what kind of deal Hogan has with AEW since there are different ‘tiers’ of contract that people are signed to.

James won the Knockouts title from Deonna Purrazzo at Bound for Glory in October. Purrazzo is set to challenge for the title at Hard To Kill in January.

• Judais vs. Chris Adonis – NWA National Heavyweight Title
