Main Event
IMPACT Wrestling World Champion Bobby Lashley puts the gold on the line against Global Force Wrestling (GFW) Global Champion Alberto El Patron in a unification match that promises to be one of the most physical bouts. Albert El Patron will be joined in his corner by his father, Dos Caras, a legendary wrestler in his native Mexico. Lashley countered, saying he has secured a corner-man, too. Lashley personally sent a Tweet to President Trump to be in his corner at Slammiversary. Lashley on Friday morning said, “No Comment,” when asked in President Trump will be in his corner at Slammiversary for the second time in his illustrious career.

The PTA Match: Pain-Torture-Agony
“Cowboy” James Storm seeks revenge on EC3 in a Leather Strap Match, as Storm’s back is, no doubt, still a painful reminder of the 30 whips he endured at the hands of EC3 on a recent Impact on Pop TV.

Football Great Steps Into The Ring
DeAngelo Williams has spent 11 seasons as a running back in the NFL. Now he’s ready to be a wrestling rookie. The former Carolina Panthers/Pittsburgh Steelers star has joined forces with Moose to battle Eli Drake and Chris Adonis. Williams was a Pro Bowl player in 2009, has twice led the NFL in rushing touchdowns and is now a free agent.

First Major Title Defense, Finally
Sonjay Dutt will be defending the X-Division Championship belt against five-time former champion Low-Ki, showcasing Dutt’s first-ever title reign. Dutt has the emotional advantage, having won the title in his native India to the admiration of thousands. Low-Ki certainly has the experience edge winning past title matches.

International Affair
The Latin American Xchange (LAX) puts the GFW/IMPACT Wrestling Tag-Team Championship belts on the line in a fearsome, foreign-filled four-way match. Naomichi Marufuji and Taiji Ishimori (from Tokyo-based Pro Wrestling NOAH) will team up, against El Hijo del Fantasma and Drago (Lucha Libre AAA in Mexico) and the team of Garza Jr., and Laredo Kid (representing Mexico-based The Crash), and LAX.

He’s Back …. WATCH OUT!
“Big Poppa” Pump Scott Steiner is back in GFW/IMPACT Wrestling, the chosen henchman for Josh Mathews in a tag team match against the improbable duo of Jeremy Borash and Joseph Park. Oddsmakers immediately were predicting a Steiner/Mathews slaughter, but, in recent days, many are saying, for unknown reasons, that JB and Park very well could pull off the upset.

Calling The Action
Robert Flores will be the lead announcer for Slammiversary, working alongside longtime IMPACT color commentator Don West, who is making a one-night return behind the microphone. With Josh Mathews and Jeremy Borash wrestling at #Slamm15, GFW/IMPACT Wrestling officials grabbed Flores, a lifelong wrestling fan.

Flores is a baseball studio host appearing across MLB Network’s programming, including MLB Network’s Emmy Award-winning daily studio show, MLB Tonight. In addition to MLB Network, Flores is a hockey studio host for NHL Network and contributes across MLB Advanced Media’s digital properties, including MLB.com and Sports On Earth.

Flores joined MLB Network and NHL Network in 2016 from ESPN.

Family Feud
Eddie Edwards joins forces with his wife Alisha Edwards for a bitter intergender battle against Davey Richards and Angelina Love. And, to make the feud even more violent, it’s a Full Metal Mayhem Match.

Femme Fatale
Sienna (GFW) steps into the ring against Rosemary (IMPACT) for a unification match of the GFW Women’s Championship and the IMPACT Knockouts Championship. Odds push Sienna as the favorite, especially with KM on the scene, but the fearless Rosemary will stop at nothing to carry gold.

I'm totally watching this

I hate to tell you this, but uh, it doesn't matter. Night 2 isn't being shown live on TV, so the only people watching it are those with NJPW World which has like 10,000 subscribers outside of Japan

There are more US subscribers for NJPW world than TNA can hope to get buys on PPV.

Given both are niche products with similar sized TV audiences, probably a lot.
