This Sunday in Dallas will play host to IMPACT Wrestling’s annual premiere show Slammiversary when stars of IMPACT go head to head for pride, payback and Championship gold. Scores will be settled, old and new alike. Championships will be decided, a battle of the sexes will be wages and relationships tested. What will be the fallout. Tune in this Sunday in Texas to find out!
Moose v RVD
Mr. Impact Wrestling takes on the Whole F’n Show for what Moose views as “all the marbles”. The man who fancies himself the face of Impact Wrestling looks to prove he is better than the ECW original. This rivalry has seen the return of Tommy Dreamer, Sabu and even Sandman from the rubble of the old ECW Arena. Moose has repeatedly taken on Dreamer both in the ring and drawing the ire of the former World Champion. Will picking this fight make Moose the new F’n Show or will Rob Van Dam prove once more that he is still Mr. Friday Night?
Monster’s Ball Match for the Knockouts Title
Su Yung v Havok v Rosemary v Taya Valkyrie
This match could settle scores both old and new. The champion defends her title against three hungry former champions, each looking to ascend the mountain once more. Could Rosemary get a measure of revenge against former rival Su who took both her title and her friend Allie. Could this be the final chapter in the long, storied rivalry between champion Taya Valkyrie and Rosemary; red vs blue? The last few weeks have seen renewed tensions between the two, although in the form of an uneasy alliance between the Demon Assassin and Wera Loca. Will relative newcomer Jessica Havok regain the prize she once held or will the uneasiness between herself and Su Yung come to a head? Could the Undead Bride rise once more from the fallout as champion? Who will emerge from a dance with the devil as Knockouts Champion at Slammiversary?
