Impact Wrestling's Slammiversary XXV: A Thrilling Night of Action
Nashville, Tennessee - Skyway Studios, July 18th, 2020
In the midst of a global pandemic, Impact Wrestling proved that its brand of high-flying, hard-hitting action can still pack a punch. Last night's Slammiversary XXV event delivered a thrilling card from start to finish, showcasing the very best of what this promotion has to offer.
The night began with a spirited tag team affair between The Motor City Machine Guns and The Rascalz. Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin, the esteemed veterans, proved their chemistry is still as potent as ever, outmaneuvering Dez and Wentz for a well-deserved win (14:17). A solid opener that got the crowd moving.
Next up was Moose, taking on Tommy Dreamer in a TNA World Heavyweight Title Old School Rules Match. The big man from Detroit showed his strength and agility, ultimately claiming victory over the legendary Dreamer (11:18). A strong showing for Moose, who continues to make a case for himself as a top contender.
The Impact Knockouts Title #1 Contendership Gauntlet Match was an absolute barnburner. Eleven women entered the fray, with Kylie Rae emerging victorious after 19 minutes and 20 seconds of non-stop action. This match was a masterclass in chaos theory - who could have predicted the eventual winner? - and left everyone involved looking like heroes (19:20).
In what can only be described as a "X-Division X-Perience," Chris Bey took down Willie Mack to claim the Impact X-Division Title. The pace was furious, with both men showcasing their aerial prowess before Bey secured the win. A thrilling encounter that left fans begging for more (Undisclosed).
The North, comprising Ethan Page and Josh Alexander, defended their Impact World Tag Team Titles against Ken Shamrock and Sami Callihan. This hard-hitting affair saw The North emerge victorious after 15 minutes and 56 seconds of intense tag team action.
In the night's main event, Deonna Purrazzo successfully defended her Impact Knockouts Title against Jordynne Grace in a contest that showcased both women's technical grappling prowess.
Finally, Eddie Edwards took center stage for an Impact World Title Five-Way Elimination Match. Ace Austin, Eric Young, Rich Swann, and Trey were all dispatched before Edwards emerged as the sole survivor. A masterclass performance from the "Ace of Anarchy," who proved his worth as a top contender in this promotion.
In conclusion, Slammiversary XXV was an unforgettable night of professional wrestling. Each match delivered on its promise, showcasing the diverse range of talent within Impact Wrestling's ranks. As we look to the future, one thing is certain - this promotion has a bright horizon ahead, filled with excitement and unpredictability.
Final Score: 4.5/5 (A thrilling night of action, marred only by the occasional misstep in timing or pacing.)
