Surprises, Ultimate X and IMPACT Originals, Dixie Carter and more: What to expect from Slammiversary

IMPACT Wrestling should have plenty of eyes on Slammiversary – and they have really been on a roll since the 2020 edition truly marked the rise of a new era.

Josh Alexander will likely keep his championship in a cracking main event against Eric Young, while the first ever Queen of the Mountain match could steal the show with Mia Yim being a strong choice to capture the title.

Ultimate X is always a tonne of fun and the stacked roster means this should be no different (our pick is Ace Austin to retain), while The Briscoes will likely keep things rolling with the tag team titles.

The big story with the IMPACT Originals versus Honor No More is who the former have to complete their team – James Storm would be a fun star to see pop up, but there are plenty of possibilities.

Look to Sami Callihan and Moose to bring utter brutality in the Monster’s Ball, while The Influence could drop the titles to Rosemary and Taya Valkyrie.

There’s going to be a lot to enjoy tonight, from top level in ring action to plenty of nods to IMPACT/TNA’s past, including a rare one-off appearance from former president Dixie Carter.
