Impact Wrestling Slammiversary 2019: Full card preview and predictions
By Jack Irene
Impact Wrestling Slammiversary 2019 comes to Dallas, TX with a packed card, but who is most likely to walk out of the night with a win?
Impact Wrestling Slammiversary is right around the corner, and I am more than happy to say that I will be live in attendance for the event. As a longtime Impact Wrestling fan, I’m thrilled to finally attend a PPV, especially one of the big two in company history.
This year’s event returns to a Slammiversary hotspot, Dallas, Texas, this time occurring in Gilley’s. The card must follow a PPV of The Year candidate last year and an overall great series of events since Don Callis took over Impact Wrestling in early 2018.
Even being surrounded by high-quality competition, this card looks like it will stand out as one of the top offerings the company can produce. With some strong female involvement, a legend making his PPV return, some wild flashy bouts, and a hoss fight of a main event, I can’t help but be excited to be right in the middle of Slammiversary XVII.
Impact Tag Team Championship Three-Way Match: The North (c) vs. LAX vs. The Rascalz
The originally planned match for Impact Wrestling Slammiversary was LAX defending their titles against The Rascalz. LAX, led by Konnan, has continued to run through the tag team division, holding the titles for 70% of their tenure in Impact Wrestling.
The Rascalz looked to put an end to their reign, getting their first taste of gold in Impact Wrestling thus far. Tensions were high, as Konnan had felt insulted by the trio’s antics, including their uninvited invasion of LAX’s clubhouse.
Things broke down into a brawl, and this feud has only gotten more personal. The Rascalz have also had their moments on top, scoring pinfalls on Santana and Ortiz left and right.
The Rascalz looked like the underdogs and were my pick to walk out with the win, but everything changed last night. The North upset LAX to capture the Impact Tag Team Titles at Bash at the Brewery. Now we’ve got a three-way for Slammiversary, and I fully expect the new champions to keep their titles on Sunday.
Prediction: The North
