Andrew’s TNA Slammiversary Results & Match Ratings: 6.28.2026

On the Countdown we already had Mara Sade vs Elayna Black vs Indi Hartwell, which Elayna won. Traci Brooks announced a Knockouts TV title tournament starting on Thursday. Then they also gave away the Eric Young vs Ricky Sosa match for free. They really love putting Eric Young on pre-shows and giving people away for free that many want to watch.

So the pre-show gave away some names that could’ve helped to sell PPV buys, but we’ll see what happens. Like I’ve said before, TNA has a tendency to put on a banger show when the build is complete garbage.

X Division Championship Ultimate X Match: Amazing Red vs Frankie Kazarian vs Cedric Alexander (c) vs Leon Slater vs Mr Elegance vs KC Navarro vs Fabian Aichner

Things start quick, most people dive and do silly crap early, Kaz tries to sneak and grab the title while spot monkeys do their thing, but Red sees him, pulls him down, tosses him out and a Middle Rope Corkscrew Senton acts as a bowling ball on most of them. Cedric managed to avoid it, ad stops Red, KC stops Cedric, Leon and KC go back and forth KC does the Spiderman rope pose, 305 connects and KC looks to climb up and grab the title. Leon pulls off KC, they fight on the apron, Leon throws KC into Fabian and KC hits the DDT, while Elegance cuts off Leon with a Spear. A few more cut offs, Fabian, Kaz, Red and Cedric climb after the belt, Cedric is the first kicked off, then Cedric takes Fabian down as Red and Kaz fight, but the ropes shakes and then both drop. Red goes for his Spinning Toe Kicks, but Kaz ducks, then drops Red. Elegance is climbing while showboating, but KC pulls him down, Blessing in Disguise!

Red and KC have a stare down, mentor and student face off. KC tried the Code Red, but Red avoids it, Satellite DDT into the originator’s Code Red sending KC out. Kaz tries to cut him off, but another Code Red for Kaz! Leon and Red start to fight, Avalanche Code Red that Leon screws up. Cedric grabs Red and X Plex on the apron. Kaz and Cedric start to slug it out. Back Elbow form Frankie, dodge through the ropes and Cedric posts himself. Kaz leaps onto the ropes but Fabian takes out Kaz with a Springboard Crossbody. Leon tries to take advantage of the carnage, KC cuts him off, Red cuts him off, Fabian cuts off, triplicate Electric Chairs, Leon turns while two are still up and Double Street Sweeper!

Red and Leon race to the center, tug of war, but Cedric runs in and steals the belt from their hands since you need to land with the title.

Fun cluster match, but Leon’s one really obvious screw up hurts the overall rating. Kaz grabs the microphone after the match and says real recognizes real, and puts over Red, then throws to a video package for Amazing Red. The package announces Amazing Red for the TNA Hall of Fame.

Elijah’s Intellectual Property Ownership Match: AJ Francis vs Elijah

AJ gets introduced by some dork named Expressions. Like imagine if Slick had autism. We don’t need more reasons to hate AJ…but I guess this could be a thing? I hope not. 

Bell rings and Elijah connects flush with the Jumping Knee, 1-2-and AJ kicks out. Elijah smashes AJ’s face into the apron, scares off Expressions, goes around the world and hits the Drive By Knee. AJ retreats to the corner, Elijah tries to charge, AJ drops him over, Expressions grabs a foot and AJ fakes people out for his infamous Dive but decides to put the brakes on and mock the crowd. Expressions causes interference during the Rope Walk. AJ tries the Styles Clash but Elijah gets away from it, but then gets caught by a Pop-Up Punch. This Expressions imbecile interferes again.

After some slow annoying whatever, Elijah connects an Alabama Slam and starts rocking AJ in the corner. Irish Whip gets countered, Up and Over gets caught, but Elijah slips it and hits a Chart Buster! Only a two count, so Elijah goes up and eats the TFL from AJ! Near fall for AJ. Elijah goes for the Rope Walk into the Destroyer again, but gets caught and eats an Alabama Slam from AJ. AJ hits the Moonsault but only a two count. They brawl, Elijah perches AJ in the corner, Enzuigiri and Highwayman’s Farewell as AJ is dazed on the ropes, but AJ kicks out. Expressions tries to slide in with a guitar, Elijah catches him, fakes him out with the mercy and then Guitar Shot lays out Expressions. AJ with the Schoolboy, Powerbomb, and then Styles Clash connects…but Elijah kicks out.

AJ goozles Elijah’s Springboard, but Elijah counters it into the Rope Walk and Drifter Destroyer for the win!

The right person won, but it was a lame angle, slow match and was the prototypical second match that no one cares about and no one will remember. 

Knockouts Tag Team Titles: Elegance Brand (c) vs DemonxBunny

M and Rosemary start off, standing switch allows Rosemary to plant M on the match and go after the arm, where M shrieks and gets away once but not the second time, so Rosemary starts punching her.

Heather has Allie in the Headlock, Allie tries to fight up but Heather pulls her hair and keeps her down as M tags in and Dropkick gives her a chance for a near fall. But Allie fights up, a few punches and then a Twisting Neckbreaker but the Concierge pulls Rosemary off the apron. M steps on Allie’s Hair to set her up for Heather’s Slingshot Senton, and then a Draping DDT into a Drop Kick M blind tag and hits her Coast to Coast Dropkick, but only a two count.

Allie does the Zombie sit up that Rosemary famously does. Fights back, Double Clothesline both down spot. Simultaneous tags Rosemary smashes Heather, Exploder Suplex throws Heather around and a Side Slam for a two count. M blind tag, so when Rosemary tries the O’Connor Roll, the referee won’t count, Heather fires Rosemary into a perfect Superkick from M. Allie breaks the pinfall, Allie hits a Death Valley Driver, M hits the Block Buster, Rosemary hits the Spear but they’re all down. ASH grabs Rosemary, but then tries to hide behind the Concierge and Rosemary mists him!

But Eddie Baseball Slides to kick the table into Moose and then Stomps down on the table that was over Moose’s ankle. Eddie bounce’s Moose’s face off the post, and he’s limping.

TNA Knockouts World Title: Lei Ying Lee (c) vs Xia Brookside

Lei takes her down, clubs her down, Ground and Pound, Shoulder Tackles her back down when Xia gets up, tosses her around by her hair and Lei is pissed off. Irish Whip sends Xia in hard, Xia tries to dodge but Shoulder Block, into a little rope run, Leg Sweep and then Dropkick from Lei. Xia tries to powder but Lei pulls her back in. She’s screaming at Xia “You wanted this”, every time Xia tries to powder.

Lei hits the Powerbomb on Brookside from the corner, but Xia ripped the buckle cover off. Lei goes up, but gets Snake Eyes’d onto the exposed buckle and then Darkside DDT.

A very…flat ending and uninteresting match honestly.

TNA World Tag Team Championships Ladder Match: The System (c) vs Broken Hardyz vs The Righteous vs The Great Hands

The match starts off quickly with the Hardyz bringing down a ladder, ramming The Righteous into the ladder. Just a lot of frenetic action. The Hardyz get the early advantage, so everyone gangs up on them. Then there’s a big pile dive spot, Hotch tries to sneak the titles but Myers slowly walks the ladder back, so Hotch hits a Moonsault onto the remaining pile. Tables get introduced, plenty of usage of the steps and the ring. Hardys hit Poetry in Motion and a Plot Twist on Dutch, Vincent and Matt climb two different ladders, and then Matt decides the Delete Headsmashes would be funny down the rungs o f ladders…and he’s correct.

Four tables get stacked, as everyone fights around the tables. The System tries to grab the belts but the Great Hands cut them off, wipe out Myers with one ladder but Bear runs into the ladder to counter the Hands, then he Sentons onto the ladder still on the Great Hands. The Righteous come back out with a Wicked Ladder, some flower adorned Ladder. Bear tries to fight off the Righteous and then moves the Wicked Ladder, he wants to Powerslam Vincent into it, but Dutch stops him and then Dutch Powerslams Bear into the Wicked Ladder. Scoop Slam sets up Vincent doing a Swanton onto Bear, on the Wicked Ladder. They then wedge Bear between the sides of the ladder, Vincent walks on it to drive more barbed wire into Bear, Myers Spears Vincent, but Dutch slams Myers onto the ladder as Bear is being torn apart.

We get more back and forth, The Great Hands hit The Favor on Dutch, Vincent shoves the Lilly of the Valley into Myers’ mouth but he tries to fight through before he just falls off the ladder. Bear hits the Fire/Thunder Driver into the Wicked Ladder to take out Vincent. Bear and Butch slug it out on the top and the Hardys are finally alive again, they shove the ladder and the two big men go through the four stack of tables! Hardys look to take the titles, but the Hands pull them off, Hands almost have their hands on the belts, but stereo Twists of Fate wipe them out. Skyler is laid on a ladder, Hotch is draped on him, the Wicked Ladder is being set up next to the ladder the Hands are laid on. Jeff…is gonna climb the Wicked Ladder and Swanton off it…isn’t he? Oh boy…Please Don’t Die…Wicked Swanton through the Hands and Jeff pops back up!

Hardys regain the tag team titles!

TNA World Championship: Mike Santana (c) vs Nic Nemeth

Shoving match and then paint brushes just for irritation, before they eventually tie up. Mike hits the ropes, sends Nic to the outside with a Shoulder Tackle, but Nic collects himself. They play a little cat and mouse, the crowd hates them both, chanting against Cleveland and New York. Nic manages a Head and Arm Cradle, where Mike kicks out, tries to throw him to the outside and Nic gets back in the ring, he wants a wrestling match, not a street fight. Santana lets Nic come to him though, kicks him in the face, then a Tope con Hilo crashes into Nic. Santana starts chopping Nic all over the outside, almost chops him into the audience, as Santana resets the 10 count.

Nic tries to dodge one, but Santana kicks him in the face and then throws him into the crowd. Ryan takes his shirt off and calls Mike back to the ring. Mike wants to hit him, but the referee kicks him out and gets distracted physically removing Ryan, this gives Nic a lot of time to recover. Nic uses the Call Your Shot Gauntlet Trophy! The old Kaiba family shuffle! Nic is still selling barely alive, but Santana does get in, he’s busted open, Nic screams “Why won’t you die” and punches directly into the wound. Shot to the heart Elbow Drop for a two count. Nic cinques in the Crossface, Santana turns it into a pinfall counter, Nic with another Elbow, then Bites and tears at the head wound.

Sleeper Hold gets locked in, but Santana is trying to fight, finally gets Nic off of him, but Nic jumps on his back and reconnects. Santana tries to rally with the crowd, falls backwards causing Nic to break the hold. Santana is exhausted, Nic is slow to get up as well. Slugfest begins, Rope Bounce Flying Lariat from Santana, Nic tries a Charge but gets Leaped over, Nic wants to speed up but eats a Rolling Buck Fifty! Only a two count, so Santana tries to lift him, but Nic slips it, then tries to Leap Frog Santana, but Santana hits the Spicolli Driver for two! Spin the…SUPERKICK! Nic falls into the cover and only gets two! Nic tries a Danger Zone but is shaken off, Tornado DDT into into a Danger Zone! Nemeth connected! 1-2-kicks out! Tuning Up the band, Superkick hits but Santana responds with a Spin the Block! Nic also kicks out!

Santana gets his knees kicks out from him, Superkick but Santana kicks out at one! Santana fires, Santana Superkicks Nemeth! Santana wants the Spin, but fades and nearly passes out mid move, Nic hits the Danger Zone! NIC WINS!

Overall Score: 7.25/10

While not a show of the year contender…a pretty damn good show. I don’t mind Xia’s heel turn at all, but everything in that match just fell very flat to me. I was fine regardless of who won, because I’ve become a fan of Xia lately and Lei is a sweetheart. But that’s the only real disappointing match in my opinion. Santana running out of gas mid move was different, kind of cool. I did really like his vignette announcing Konnan for the Hall of Fame though. Especially using Konnan’s signature phrases, including his most recent one of being like a scarecrow, outstanding in his field.

Hardys winning was sadly necessary because there are no other babyface tag teams on the roster. The entire tag division was in that match. Much like the Knockouts. As much as I love Allie, and love how good she looks doing wrestling moves now (see I made sure to emphasize her wrestling not just her looks), the Knockouts Tag Division doesn’t exist. Destroy those tag belts and never let them see the light of day. A Knockouts TV title is fine, as long as you get rid of the tag titles. You don’t need another damn belt, and your roster isn’t deep enough for 3 levels of tag, mid card and main.

Uhaa Nation being the worst kept secret was fine, since it was nice to see Rich Swann involved as well. If that match had a few more minutes and didn’t involve that useless toolbox Agent Zero…the match would’ve probably stolen the show. Also the Elijah and AJ match was better than it had any business being, but it’s still forgettable and no one will ever discuss it in the future.

All in all, Good show. Not spectacular, but it wasn’t a complete face plant.
