Wait a minute, that doesn’t feel right, not here anyway.

Um…TNA Legion, rejoice! For tonight is the company’s annual Slammiversary event, this year emanating from the UBS Arena in Long Island, New York. And while the show is, obviously, vast for showcasing the current roster of not just TNA but also NXT in conjunction with their working agreement, it is also a round for a legendary return. For tonight, Triple Crown Winner and TNA Icon AJ Styles will be making his return to TNA, and in what capacity, well, we will just have to wait and see!

As for the card itself, the richest prize in TNA will be defended, as Trick Wiliams takes on former champion Joe Hendry and Mike Santana in a 3-way dance. We will have a title versus title match, as Masha Slamovich puts up her Knockouts Title against NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne. In what projects to be extremely chaotic, the TNA tag team titles will be on the line, as The Brothers Nemeth will defend against the Hardys, The Rascalz, and First Cla$$. Moose will put the X-Division Title on the line, as he faces off with Leon Slater. Long times friends turned bitter rivals will clash when Cedric Alexander faces off against Mustapha Ali. Tessa Blanchard and Indi Hartwell will face off, and The System alongside Matt Cardona will take on the terrors of NXT, DarkState. All of this and, I am sure, so much more in store for us tonight.

Tonight, we are LIVE from the UBS Arena in Long Island, New York, home of the NHL’s Islanders! Tom Hannifan and Matt “The Drama King” Rehwoldt will bring us the action!

The show opens with New York’s own Brianna Laughlin sings the National Anthem. I don’t know who she is per se, but she does a great job and doesn’t embellish it. To me, that’s always been a no-no.

Incoming video package, highlighting the history and the current day status of the company.

Oh, snap, definitely a great choice to start us off tonight.

Mustapha Ali vs. Cedric Alexander

The bell rings and, despite the bad blood here, the start is tenuous. Early lock-up, Alexander with an arm drag. Ali with one of his own, and we get a quick reset. Cedric tries a go-behind, but Ali cuts that off. Alexander with arm control, Ali rolls through. Alexander rolls through and picks the leg. Leg sweeps for all! Ali brides out of a pin attempt as Tom tells us that Cedric is undefeated against Ali all time. BIG slap by Ali, well shit son lol. Cedric hits back with one in kind.

Alexander slides out to the arena floor, release German on Ali! Cedric returns Ali to the ring only to pull him back out and hits ANOTHER release! Order Four are not happy about this, and they provide a distraction for Ali to get back into the ring and hit a SUICIDE DIVE HEADBUTT! HOLY SHIT CHANTS! Ali returns Alexander to the ring and goes up top. Alexander avoids the 450 Splash, and he ducks Ali who hits the middle rope face first. Alexander goes to grab Ali, but he is berated by the Secret Service. ALEXANDER WITH A MICHINOKU DRIVER FROM THE TOP ONTO EVERYONE AT RING SIDE! Well, can’t say that was something we see every day.

Steelz is back with a steel chair! Cedric puts his foot on the chair, she threatens him, but he gives her a Lumbar Check! Ali takes advantage with 450 Splash from the top for the win!

WINNER: Mustapha Ali

Tom and Matt talk about the show tonight, and we get to hear from the French announce team. Something tells me that seeing these guys will be a harbinger for some destruction tonight.

Joe Hendry is seen working out in the back, and Gia Miller interviews him. Can you feel it, the whole world is watching New York tonight. Say his name, and he appears. He respects Santana and hates Williams, but the weight of the world is on his shoulders to become a Two-Time TNA Champion!

We see Leon Slater and Moose preparing for their match later, but next up is the 8-person match.

The System and Matt Cardona vs. DarkState

Oh yeah, how could I forget that Cardona is from Long Island? Wait, isn’t Myers from Long Island, too? They didn’t make a big deal out of that though lol.

The System and Cardona hold the ring as DarkState try to ambush them before the bell. Everyone fights everyone! JDC is the only one left in the ring. Alisha Edwards gives him a chair; he does the Sabu pose and does the double jump moonsault to the floor on everyone! DarkState quickly regain the advantage as the bell officially rings. Saquon Shugars and Myers start us off. Tag out to Osiris Griffin, who takes Myers from corner to corner with his power game. Griffin grinds Myer’s face on the top rope, and Dion Lennox tags in.

Incoming video package for the next match, featuring Indi Hartwell and Tessa Blanchard.

She still can’t get out of the corner, as Tessa hits a running drop kick to the knee. Both women on the top, SUPERPLEX from the top by Hartwell!

WINNER: Indi Hartwell

Miller congratulates Indi after the match. She wants to know what is next. Indi just beat a former Knockouts Champion, but Tessa attacks post-match. Tessa takes out Miller as well! I don’t think she is an actual competitor, is she? Indi and Mackenzie Mitchell help Miller up.

Zoneify, official partner of TNA.

Hannifan condemns what Blanchard did, and we see Santino Marella in the back. He says there are consequences for what happened as Gia is not a wrestler. Tessa wants to know what he is going to do it about it, so he has security literally carries her out lol.

Before the Bell, Heather and Ash by Elegance defeated the Inspiration to retain the Knockouts tag team titles. They make plans to celebrate in the back, but The Inspiration are here to confront them. They challenge them to a 6-person match and say they have friends in high places. Ice Man says he is talking to Santino about this lol.

One woman’s match right after the other? Well, that’s a choice. Incoming video package for the winner-take-all match.

Title-for-title, winner take all match: Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich vs. NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne W/Fatal Influence

Well, hello there, Ms. Mitchell. Super introduction for this match, makes sense given the stakes involved in it.

The bell rings, early lock-up leads to Jayne pulling the hair. Masha fights out but eats a Hurrincanrana from Jayne. Running elbow strike by Jayne. Masha isn’t impressed, as she hits a big lariat. She goes to dive out of the ring, but Falloon Henley saves Jacy. No problem, as Masha wipes both of them out on the floor. She tries to stretch Jayne around the ring post, but Jacy gets help from the FI and Masha eats the post instead. CANNONABLL from the apron by Jayne.

Another corner cannonball, the cover for a two count. Masha fights back with some slaps, but a Book End/Rock Bottom from Jayne cuts that off for a two count. Chin lock applied by Jayne, as Masha fights to her feet. She rams Jacy into the corner, but Jayne hangs on, so Masha sits back and drops Jayne to the mat.

Shots are traded as both women fight to their feet. Fans seem split, which is odd considering this IS a TNA event. Masha ducks Jacy and hits a hook kick and a corner charge. Another one, a boot follows, rolling Liger Kick! The cover, two count. Masha looking piledriver, but Jayne goes behind. Standing switch, and a running knee strike to Jayne.

Jayne lines up Masha with a kick, but she moves, and she kicks the ref! The Snowplow by Masha, but there is no ref! Another one rushes down and counts the pin for a two. Masha looking for Requiem, but Jayne with the Jackknife pin. Rolling Encore is countered by Masha, but another Rolling Encore by Jayne connects and she has TWO Titles!

WINNER: Jacy Jayne (Double Champion)

Before the bell, the “Hometown Man” defeated Eric Young, as The Northern Armory chase the man off. Young berates Travis and Judas post-match. He says things are going to change, and you can either get on board, or you will get lost.

Hannifan says there are 7,623 fans here, making it the most fans to attend a TNA event in North America. Very cool, I am happy for them!

Leon Slater will look to become the youngest X-Division in company history, but a big, bad MOOSE stands in his way.

TNA X-Division Title Match: Moose (C) vs. Leon Slater

The battle for history here: will Slater become the youngest X-Division champion, dethroning the Amazing Red, or will Moose become the longest reigning X-Division Champion, surpassing Austin Aries record reign? Let’s find out!

GO TO HELL by Moose, but Slater kicks out at two. Moose tries another one, but Slater out the back door, he sends Moose to the floor. Slater’s dive misses, and Moose with a big chop. He goes to throw Slater back in, but Slater spins around and kicks Moose. Moose counters that, but Slater again escapes and the champion charges into the ring steps.

SLATER UP AND OVER THE TOP ROPE, BUT MOOSE CATCHES HIM OUT OF THE MID-AIR! Slater counters though with another Rana, like it was nothing lol. Slater tossed back into the ring by Moose, but he takes his eye off the ball and Slater clears the ring post and wipes out Moose!

Slater returns Moose to the ring and goes up top. Moose ducks and hits the Pop-up Powerbomb! The cover, Slater out at two. THIS IS AWESOME chants. Moose chops Slater so hard he did a 360 and out lol. Another chop, and Slater is up to 720 degrees lol. A third chop, but Slate catches it and unloads on Moose. His clotheslines won’t put Moose down, but Moose’s does though.

HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE!

WINNER: Leon Slater (and NEW Champion)

Post-match, Slater celebrates with his family at ring side. Carlos Silva goes to give the title belt to Slater, but Moose takes the title from him and…

…He puts the title belt on Slater! Wow, okay, didn’t see that coming from a mile away!

And just when you think this moment couldn’t get any more awesome…

GET READY TO FLY HITS, AND AJ FREAKING STYLES IS BACK! The fans love it, as they sing the YOU ARE, YOU ARE, I AM, I AM part. Styles shakes the hand of Slater and hugs him.

Styles has a mic. AJ chants. TNA! Did you miss me? WELCOME BACK chants. It’s been a long road, but he is back in the company where his name was built. He is the Phenomenal AJ Styles! Every time they told him they can’t come back, but here he is. The lights are a little brighter here, the crowd is louder than it ever has been, and Leon, the talent is better than it ever has been. AJ says don’t listen to the, because you don’t deserve it, you earned it! Leon Slater, the youngest X-Division champion in TNA History. Let that sink in. You made AJ realize why he loves this company. It’s guys like you who make AJ love what he does. One of the biggest shows in TNA history but let him talk about Leon before we get back to that match. You showed everyone that tonight it was about no limits. That was the foundation when AJ started. It was him, Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe, Frankie Kazarian, Homicide, Jerry Lynn, they were the foundation. But the X-Division is in phenomenal hands now. You’ve made history, the next step is to make your legacy.

Slater takes his leave, as AJ poses in every corner. I will say that I am glad that he used his TNA theme instead of using one of the WWE themes, because it wouldn’t have worked IMO as well.

A-Game, the official hydration game of TNA. Seems like everyone has their own hydration thing going on:
WWE – Prime
AEW – Idrinq
TNA – A-Game

The Hometown Man is here, wearing an Islanders jersey, just in case you didn’t know where he is from! Johnny Damon is here with his family.

WARNING: INCOMING CHAOS! I REPEAT, WARNING: INCOMING CHAOS!

The warfare starts before the bell! The Hardys hold serve in the middle of the ring, taking out every other team. Matt with a suplex on Nick into the ladder. The Hardys become the first team to try and climb the ladder, but AJ Francis shoves the ladder over. Myron Reed flies into the ring and right into a ladder lol. Francis throws Reed into the ladder, and Francis throws his own partner into Reed. Francis has Reed and a ladder in his arms, and he runs into everyone who enters the ring, and finishes with a World’s Strongest Slam into Reed and onto the ladder. Well, that was something lol. Francis slides the ladder and puts Navarro onto his shoulders. They turn around, but Wentz drop kicks Navarro off the shoulders of Francis. Double knees to Francis from Wentz. recoil code breaker by Reed to Francis!

The Rascalz set up a ladder and dive off and onto Francis! FLAME ON, AS REED TAKES NAVARRO TO THE LFOOR WITH THE CUTTER! Wentz climbs the ladder, but Francis lifts it up and throws Wentz out of the ring and onto his own man, splitting the ladder! That’s what good teammates do! Matt Hardy hits Francis in the back with a chair. Twist of Fate! Swanton Bomb (Le Original) from Jeff to Francis! Both Hardy Brothers climb, but both Nemeth Brothers cut them off. Hollywood Ending from Ryan to Jeff, Danger Zone from Nik to Matt! Ryan talks smack to Johnny Damon, and Damon shoves him lol. The Champs set up the ladder, but the Rascalz are back. Navarro is also back after near ladder impalement, and he takes everyone out with chair shots. WE WANT TABLES chant, so Navarro sets up a ladder in the corner of the ring. Yeah, that tracks lol. Francis climbs the ladder, WORLD’S LARGEST MOONSAULT! FLOP DOLLA NO MORE!

The ladder is now in the middle of the ring, as Top Cla$$ climb together. The Rascalz are back, and they shove both of them off the ladder and, well, let’s just say that I don’t know HOW Francis didn’t kill himself there. The Hardy Brothers are back to DELETE the Rascalz. Twist Fate into the Cutter on Reed. Side Effect by Matt to Wentz. The Hardys set up Wentz and Reed onto a ladder bridge. Jeff to the top, Swanton Bomb onto both Rascalz! ONE MORE TIME chant the fans, so Jeff obliges. Jeff gets a device from the camera man at ring side, and down comes another ladder, but it’s like one you find coming down from a helicopter lol. Okay, that was really cool. But the Nemeth brothers are no fun, and they put an end to that. Ryan tries to climb, but Matt smacks him down with a chair. Nik takes out Matt and he tries to climb. Jeff cuts him off and Matt puts the chair into the gut of Nik and Ryan. Chairs have been wrapped around the heads of the Nemeth Brothers, DOUBLE TWIST OF FATE BY THE HARDYS! Jeff climbs again, he’s right there, he rips the titles down!

WINNER: The Hardys (And NEW Champions)

LOOK OUT FOR THE BOMBFALL, as Bully Ray is here post-match! He gets into the ring and asks for a mic. Allow me to be the first to congratulate you on ANOTHER world tag team championship. You guys are catching up. Another amazing match from the Hardys, and another reason why tonight an attendance record for TNA. A record that they set back in 2013. But he is not here for that, he has a damn good reason why he is here. And the whole wrestling world knows why. 25 years ago, the Hardys and the Dudley’s made history in New York in the first ever tables match at the Royal Rumble. Their careers have crossed paths as they both have went on to greatness. There is always that talk about who is the best tag team of all time. The greatest tag team of all-time is the Road Warriors, I think we can all agree. What this is about is giving wrestling fans all over the world the last great tag team match of all time. This is about something special, and this is about something that will never happen again. October, Bound for Glory, Hardys, Team 3-D, one last match. WHERE IS D-VON chants, and Bully says that is a great question. At BFG you will hear one last time, D-VON, GET THE TABLES!

I mean, again, if we are going to do this big for the last tag team title run for the Hardys, then it doesn’t get much better than the Hardys and the Dudley’s going at it one more time. It’s not the same without Edge and Christian, but it’ll do.

Bound for Glory will take place in Lowell, Mass on October 12th, Tom informs us.

Santino Marella is back. He wants to point out that Gia Miller is not here, she was attacked by Tessa Blanchard earlier, so Tessa is suspended indefinitely. SON OF A GUN, HE IS NOT MESSING AROUND ANYMORE! Santino asks The Snake, Dave LaGreca, and Tommy Dreamer who they think will win the main event. But before Dreamer can answer, Frankie Kazarian is here. With all due to respect, wait, he doesn’t respect Tommy. He doesn’t care about the predictions of the smark radio show, and Dave, you suck. We are celebrating attendance records in TNA, and we are celebrating the King of TNA. No one has done more for the company than he has, so since he isn’t included in this match, he is walking his fine ass down to ring side to do commentary. And if you don’t like that, then you have permission to hate him now.

Video package for the main event incoming.

TNA World Title Match: Trick Williams (C) vs. Joe Hendry vs. Mike Santana

Call me crazy, but given the super long and affluent introduction, you think they are telegraphing a title change here?

Wait, never mind, Trick has the Harlem Gospel Choir telling us to WHOOP THAT TRICK.

So, match starts before midnight, or no?

Oh, wait, we still need the super long introduction. So, match starts by 1AM?

Finally, the bell rings, as Williams tells his challengers what’s what. He gets pinballed around by the challengers, as they throw him from the ring.
