TNA Slammiversary now has a title versus title bout in the lineup.
Four matchups were added to the July 20 pay-per-view event at the UBS Arena in Long Island, New York, on this week’s episode of TNA Impact, including a bout that puts a top name from the TNA roster against an NXT star.
TNA Knockouts World Champion Masha Slamovich face the NXT Women’s Champion in a title vs. title bout, with the specific wrestler to be determined soon.
The matchup was confirmed shortly after current NXT women’s champ Jacy Jayne attacked Slamovich on this week’s episode of Impact, going after the TNA wrestler following her win over Killer Kelly.
While Jayne attacked Slamovich, there’s no guarantee she’ll be the one who heads to Slammiversary for the high-stakes match. Jayne is currently booked to put her title on the line against Jordynne Grace at WWE Evolution, which comes a week before Slammiversary. It’ll be during that card when we find out who Slamovich will take on in Long Island.
In another women’s title match, The Elegance Brand will look to defend their TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championships against The IInspiration.
Jessie McKay and Cassie Lee of The IInspiration were given a title shot against the defending champs after beating Tessa Blanchard and Victoria Crawford on this week’s TNA.
If successful, McKay and Lee could kick off their second reign with the belts at Slammiversary.
Another Slammiversary match came from the women’s tag bout on this week’s TNA, with Blanchard and Indi Hartwell being booked for a grudge match. The tension between the two boiled over this week, with them both getting pulled apart at ringside. This caused Hartwell to call for a match between them at the upcoming event.
The fourth match announced for Slammiversary this week was Cedric Alexander against Mustafa Ali.
Alexander came to the aid of Order Four’s other members after they suffered abuse at the hands of Ali. While he failed to talk some sense into Ali, Alexander try to teach him a lesson in the ring soon.
The bout is scheduled to be one of the first matches for Alexander since joining TNA last month.

- Trick Williams vs. Joe Hendry vs. Mike Santana (TNA World Championship) (Three-Way)
