IMPACT Wrestling is kicking off their 2023 pay-per-view calendar strong after a successful Bound For Glory, with Hard To Kill scheduled for early January.
IMPACT Hard To Kill 2023 is slated for Friday, 13 January at Center Stage in Atlanta, Georgia.
The Anthem-helmed promotion confirmed as such during their latest pay-per-view, Bound For Glory. Prior to Josh Alexander and Eddie Edwards’ World Championship headliner, a short vignette aired to promote the event, featuring an array of company personnel.

Hard To Kill has become a staple on the annual IMPACT calendar, first being held in January 2020 when Tessa Blanchard made history by becoming the first female World Champion. It was last held on 8 January 2022, which conveniently also made history for the first Knockouts pay-per-view main event in Mickie James vs. Deonna Purrazzo.
IMPACT recently returned to Atlanta in early July for Against All Odds and subsequent television tapings. Amongst the taped events was a tussle between Josh Alexander and Joe Doering, the return of the Clockwork Orange House of Fun match, and Chris Harris’ first IMPACT match in over a decade.
Only one other pay-per-view has been held in the city, that being the 2007 Bound For Glory pay-per-view from the Gwinnett Civic Center. A Monster’s Ball, Ultimate X match, and Reverse Battle Royal were all on offer, as was the crowning of the inaugural Knockouts Champion.
