As announced by IMPACT Executive Scott D’amore, Tessa Blanchard will defend the World Championship in a huge five-way main event on July 18th at Slammiversary.
Her opponents will be Michael Elgin, Eddie Edwards, Ace Austin and Trey – all of whom have a legitimate claim to the #1 contendership.
With five of IMPACT Wrestling’s top stars all competing at the same time, there’s no telling what type of chaos could ensue.
Who will leave Slammiversary with the World Championship around their waist?...Further card TBA...

Tessa & Elgin both gone from IMPACT now is a massive blow to the company and more so for Slammiversary as they where in the main event and in the case of Elgin has had stuff taped hyping up and building to the match over the next three weeks.
Really bad look for IMPACT and a sign for this show.As a few other have suggested whomever they signed and where going to debut at Slammiversary should be announced now to rebuild up the show and to try and get some people to actually buy the show because as it stands now with Ace/Edwards/Trey,Grace/Purrazzo,Mack/Bey ain't going to sell at all.

They should throw Moose and whoever he was going to defend the TNA Championship against into this match. Give us a definitive Champion. Throw in one of the debuting talent to make it a 6way.

Think the better route would be to still go ahead with the rumored Moose title bout against a returning talent most likely EC3 and then add two names to the IMPACT Title match.Think you could build to a TNA Vs IMPACT Title bout at Bound for Glory this year and give it more steam.
I would go with Moose/EC3 and then for the title match Ace/Edwards/Trey/Sabin(he's a producer already and is a TNA legend and is only 38) and Callihan or a returning Eric Young.If and a big IF Rusev is signed I would still hold off on announcing it and and have him debut at the end of the actual PPV.But would announce the likes of Sabin,EC3,Young,Anderson,Gallows,Bully Ray pretty much any other talent they have signed before hand and over these next 3 weeks to try and build some interest for the PPV and to try and a get some actual buys.

Side note: I did not know Sabin had resigned with Impact and was a producer now. Guess the dirt sheets I read decided not to report that.

Met him at a house show around the Hogan days of TNA. He's such a cool dude and was one of my favorites for a long time. I've slowly been getting back into impact. The North are my favorite act in the company

I legitimately thought about ordering this on Saturday and then I went and looked and it’s $40 freaking dollars. Are they out of their mind? $20 is more than enough and you potentially get more eyes on your product.

Well Anderson & Gallows are official now add could see them added to the tag team title bout tonight or surely debuting after to have a face off with The North.
Haven't been this excited for a TNA/IMPACT PPV in years,also expecting more returns/debuts tonight in the likes of Alex Shelley,Bully Ray,Chris Sabin,EC3,Eric Young,Heath Slater,Mr.Anderson...ect and maybe even a video message from Rusev.Think IMPACT moving forward is going to look a hell of a lot more different and that this is almost another restart/reboot for the company.

It looks like a really good card. Most of the people I liked from impact that are still there are on the card, and minimal people I can't stand (*cough* Callihan). With one Crist, Elgin, and Joey Ryan gone forever seemingly, and the better wrestlers getting good spots, I think I can look to jump back into impact. It was a rough time after losing LAX, the Lucha Brothers, Cage and Johnny Impact.
I have to chuckle a bit at the comment of "Ace/Edwards/Trey,Grace/Purrazzo,Mack/Bey" not being enough to sell it because Elgin and Tessa were gone. Those matches and names were actually the big selling points for me and got me to look at the card. Losing Elgin & Tessa from the main event actually increased my interest in it significantly. I really like Tessa, but we all knew it was just her going to drop the title and she probably wasn't going to eat the pin to do it, so she may as well have not been in the match anyways.

Besides the returns I think I'm more excited about seeing Bey and Willie that should be a great match I just hope Swinger doesn't have any Impact on the match. I agree about losing Tessa and Elgin from the title match that's no big deal to me. I hope EC3 is the 4th wrestler in the title match then I'll be happy with whoever wins but I rather see Trey win the title

Legit goosebumps at that ending. Both parts of it. Great show all around. I guess it's time to renew my impact plus subscription. Well played impact 👍. Hope the Sabin and Shelly headcasts I ordered come in soon so I can get started on those customs

only saw the main event.
im not a fan of Eddie edwards. so that doesn't move the needle for me. That austin kid is money. Anytime i get to see Eric Young is a good thing.
idk where they're going with the good brothers thing.
EC3 with creepy facial hair...im in for
