UK fans can watch the dawn of a new era for IMPACT Wrestling when the pay-per-view Redemption airs online tomorrow.
Titles changed hands, new signings arrived and legends rolled back the years when the U.S. wrestling company held a sizzling show on Sunday.
Anthem Sports and Entertainment has relaunched the brand under an executive committee of Ed Nordholm, Scott D’Amore and Don Callis .
Redemption, held at the Impact Zone in Orlando, Florida and booked by the promotion's new management team, has received rave reviews.
And it came hot on the heels of WWE's American rival , formerly known as TNA Wrestling, revealing some huge news for loyal British fans.

After weeks of negotiations, IMPACT has announced a new partnership with Spike TV, which is part of the Channel 5 stable.
Its flagship show IMPACT will continue to air every Friday at 11pm on 5Spike in the UK, less than 24 hours after it airs in the States.
5Spike is available to watch on Sky TV channel 160, Freeview 31, Freesat 141 and Virgin Media 154.
However, IMPACT will also now air without delay on the Global Wrestling Network (GWN) app - as part of the FREE tier of the app.
This means for the first time UK fans can watch it 'live' when it airs in the US (at 1am on Fridays) or any time after that 'on demand'.

All of IMPACT Wrestling's pay-per-view and One Night Only events - including Redemption - will now be part of the app's subscription tier.
Fans can subscribe to the GWN app for $7.99 (under £6) and the first month is also FREE.
Subscribers also get more than 1,000 hours of classic content and original programming, from every pay-per-view event in TNA/Impact history to weekly episodes of Xplosion.
IMPACT will make its long-awaited return to these shores with a full live show at Wrestling MediaCon 2018 later this year.
It will host an event at the Bowlers Exhibition Centre in Manchester on September 9 - its first British show since January 2016.
London's acclaimed Revolution Pro Wrestling will also present a two-day tournament over the bumper weekend on September 8 and 9.
There will be guest matches from America's National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), Newcastle-based Defiant Wrestling and Hull's New Generation Wrestling (NGW).
Some of the world's top wrestling journalists, YouTubers, podcasters and personalities will run live shows, Q&As, plus meet and greets.
Redemption will broadcast on the GWN app on Wednesday, April 25. You can find out more about the GWN app here
