Countdown Show

TNA Slammiversary kicked off with the Countdown show, beginning with Tom Hannifan announcing that tonight was in memory of Joe Doering, who passed away after a battle with Cancer earlier this week.

The first match saw a triple threat match between Mara Sadé, Indi Hartwell and Elayna Black. The match began with Black being tossed from the ring and Hartwell and Sadé going at it, before returning and taking control of the match. Sadé was then tossed out as Hartwell and Black went at it. The action swung back and forth with Sadé hitting a moonsault on Hartwell but Black taking advantage directly after, hitting the Blackout for the win.

TNA Hall of Famer Traci Brooks appeared after the match, announcing that starting this Thursday on Impact, there will be a sixteen-woman tournament with the winner going on to become the first-ever TNA Knockouts Television Champion. With that, the new title belt was revealed. 

Next, Mustafa Ali and Tasha Steelz interrupted the broadcast team hyping tonight’s PPV card, and Daria Rae was about to reveal Ali’s opponent for tonight when Santino Marella interrupted her. Both Daria and Santino found an opponent, so Santino announced it would be a Triple Threat match for the International title, but they wouldn’t reveal their identities until later tonight. 

Eric Young vs. Ricky Sosa

The voice of the Boston Celtics, Sean Grande, was introduced as a guest commentator for the next match, and it was noted that Sean had Mick Foley officiate his wedding, noting he is a wrestling superfan. The next match saw Eric Young taking on Ricky Sosa, who was making his TNA PPV debut. Sosa took it to EY early, hitting a giant dive onto him on the outside. Young reversed a top rope attempt by Sosa, hitting an avalanche Death Valley Driver on Sosa. Sosa came back with a jump to the top rope followed by a Hurricanrana on Young. Both men exchanged near falls from there until Sosa ultimately hit his Blue Thunder Bang finisher for the win. 

Main Show

Joe Doering Tribute

The main Slammiversary card began with a ten-bell salute for the recently passed Joe Doering. Cody Deaner (aka the Hometown Man) made a speech about Joe’s true strength being his heart. Deaner talked about saying his goodbyes and thank yous to his friend Joe a few weeks ago. He finished by saying that tonight the entire show is dedicated to Joe. 

Before the main show began, a video aired showing current stars mixed with archive footage of TNA’s history, talking about the importance of TNA to professional wrestling. 

 

Ultimate X Match 

The main card started with the Ultimate X match for the X Division title, pitting The System’s Cedric Alexander as champion against Amazing Red, Frankie Kazarian, Fabian Aichner, Mr. Elegance, KC Navarro, and Leon Slater. The bell rang, and things started off fast and furious with Fabian Aichner hitting a dive off the top to the outside to four men holding Leon Slater, who was caught doing a dive himself. KC Navarro and Leon Slater were left alone in the ring and had a fantastic sequence going back and forth, somehow ending with Fabian Aichner getting DDTed on the floor. 

Amazing Red showed he hasn’t missed a beat as he hit smooth Codes Red on multiple opponents, although something didn’t quite work with an attempt on Leon Slater off the top rope, forcing him to essentially moonsault himself onto the mat. Fabian Aichner then hit Kazarian with a Crossbody while he was hanging from the high ropes, and Kaz landed awkwardly but seemed to be okay. Leon Slater then hit a double Blockbuster off the top, taking out essentially the rest of the field. Slater and Amazing Red climbed the high ropes to the title, and both removed it simultaneously. Cedric Alexander took advantage, running in to pull it down to the mat, thus retaining the title. 

Frankie Kazarian got on the mic after the match and told Amazing Red that it was “amazing” that he was there competing tonight. Kaz said Red has his respect forever, and a video highlighting Red’s TNA accomplishments aired, announcing that Amazing Red will be inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame at Bound for Glory.
