KUSHIDA and Frankie Kazarian are set to face off on the pre-show for TNA Wrestling’s next special event.

TNA has announced that KUSHIDA vs. Kazarian will take place on Countdown to Emergence next Friday (August 30). Leading into the main card, the pre-show streams live for free on TNA+ starting at 7:30 p.m. Eastern time.

This match is the result of a beatdown that aired on TNA Impact last night. KUSHIDA and Kazarian both took part in a three-way Ultimate X qualifier that was won by Alex Hammerstone. Kazarian then laid out KUSHIDA after the match was over.
