In a groundbreaking move for a major wrestling company, Impact Wrestling has announced their plans to host a “Pride Night” next month. Taking place on July 16th in Windsor, Ontario, this event marks a significant step forward for inclusivity and diversity in professional wrestling.

IMPACT Wrestling and the Windsor-Essex Pride Fest are proud to tag-team for a Pride Night at the IMPACT pro wrestling show on Sunday, July 16, at St. Clair College in Windsor, Ontario, marking the first-ever Pride Night from a major pro wrestling company.

The Pride Ticket Package includes one general admission ticket and a private post-show Meet & Greet with Gisele Shaw and Jai Vidal, proud members of the LGBTQ+ community. Plus, a portion of all Pride Ticket Package sales will be donated to The Trevor Project which, since 1998, has focused on suicide prevention about LGBTQ+ youth.

It’s interesting that Impact Wrestling is waiting until mid-July for this event, but it’s better late than never. If anything, their inclusive roster must see the effort that the company is making to spread the message.

We will have to see how Impact Wrestling’s Pride event pans out. If anything, it will certainly be a special night for everyone involved.
