SUNSPORT can exclusively reveal the TNA wrestlers featuring in June's UK tour and announce the news that one of the shows will be taped for broadcast.

Former WWE champions Kurt Angle and Booker T are coming over, along with the group's best homegrown talent including Samoa Joe, AJ Styles and women's champion Awesome Kong.

The UK Impact Tour - TNA's first ever trip to these shores - takes in Liverpool on June 12 and 13, Coventry on June 14 and finishes in Brentwood, Essex, on June 15.

One of those events will be recorded and shown around the world as a Global Impact special.

Other grapplers taking part are Rhino, Bobby Roode, Motor City Machine Guns, LAX, Gail Kim, Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt and James Storm.

More stars are expected to be announced in the coming weeks, and AJ Styles will face an unnamed 'mystery opponent' on some of the shows.

A TNA insider told us: "We are pulling out all the stops to make this tour a huge success.

"The venues are almost all sold out, but after talent, travel and production costs we'll be lucky to break even.

"But these shows aren't about making money. They're about rewarding our loyal fans in the UK and creating new viewers for our show on Bravo."

The few remaining tickets for the tour can be bought from www.tnaukimpact.co.uk
