In a clash of leaders from their respective companies, Impact World Champion Alex Shelley vs. former IWGP Heavyweight Champion Hiroshi Tanahashi is official for Impact x NJPW Multiverse United 2.
The pay-per-view is set for Sunday, August 20th from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
On Wednesday, Impact posted a video to social media where Shelley challenged Tanahashi for the event which "Ace" later accepted. The match will be for Shelley's title.
While the two have been on both the same team and opposite ends of various tag team matches through the years, this will be their first-ever singles match.
Here's the current card:

Only one match was announced for next Thursday's AXS TV show: one that will see the Digital Media title on the line.
New champion Kenny King will defend the gold for the first time since winning it at Slammiversary as he takes on former champion Joe Hendry and Yuya Uemura in a three-way.
The three men (and Sheldon Jean) were part of a tag team match on Thursday's Before The Impact pre-show that helped set this in motion.
