Morale is said to be high amongst those within IMPACT Wrestling, with the belief that the promotion is moving in the right direction.

PW Insider reports that there has been a "strong positive feeling" among those in IMPACT management as of late, as the audience and demo numbers for their weekly show on AXS TV going in the right direction. This is being taken as a sign that the talent and the creative being present is clicking with fans.

The report adds that while IMPACT will not hit the numbers that WWE & AEW reach (as they are on a smaller platform) the feeling is that business is moving positively, slowly and surely. PW Insider was told that IMPACT's replay numbers on AXS have also shown growth.

On October 21, IMPACT Wrestling will host its annual Bound for Glory event which will take place at the Cicero Stadium in Cicero, Illinois. The show will be headlined by IMPACT World Champion Alex Shelley defending his title against Josh Alexander. Alexander boasts the record for the longest title reign before having to vacate the gold due to an injury. The show will also see outside talent including Will Ospreay, who will face Mike Bailey, and KENTA who will challenge X-Division Champion Chris Sabin.

Days after Bound for Glory, IMPACT will travel to the United Kingdom for its first tour in the UK in close to eight years. The tour will begin on October 26 in Glasgow, Scotland before IMPACT hosts its Turning Point event in Newcastle on October 27. Coventry, England will play host to IMPACT events on October 28, and October 29.
