While it isn’t known who exactly she’ll face off against, the promotion largely hinted that it will be Thunder Rosa as it said “the timing of this announcement might give you a clue.” Rosa was also announced for the event last week.

Rae had previously left wrestling after she pulled out of IMPACT’s Bound for Glory event at the last minute, where she was set to challenge Deonna Purrazzo for the Knockouts Championship.
