Hard to Kill is scheduled to be headlined by Josh Alexander versus Bully Ray in Full Metal Mayhem for the Impact World Championship. Impact continues to add depth to the January 13 PPV card with a title bout for Moose and a Knockouts #1 contender contest.
Moose has been trifling in Joe Hendry’s business, so Hendry offered Moose a title shot for the Impact Digital Media Championship.

The hierarchy for the Knockouts division will be taking shape at Hard to Kill. Mickie James has parlayed her Last Rodeo retirement tour into a title shot against Jordynne Grace for the Knockouts Championship. That bout will be career versus title.
Next in line for a Knockouts title shot will be determined in a #1 contender contest between Masha Slamovich, Deonna Purrazzo, and Taylor Wilde.

There is no story context yet for this bout. Impact used career success to justify each participant’s inclusion. Slamovich ran through the roster on an undefeated streak but came up short twice in defeat when taking Grace to the limit in title challenges. Purrazzo is a two-time Knockouts champion. Wilde is also a former Knockouts champion, and she is turning the page into a Wilde Witch character evolution.

- Impact World Championship: Josh Alexander (c) vs. Bully Ray in Full Metal Mayhem
