COMPLETE IMPACT WRESTLING SLAMMIVERSARY PPV COVERAGE

Impact Wrestling Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo vs. mystery challenger.

The mystery challenger is Thunder Rosa.  She is under contract to the NWA, so obviously the two promotions made a deal.

The crowd popped huge for Rosa.

They had some really nice back and forth action early on with some good grappling.  Deonna grabbed an Octopus submission but Rosa drilled her backwards into the corner.  Rosa slipped out and nailed a series of kicks. Deonna went for a superplex but was pushed off.  Rosa nailed a dropkick out of the corner.    Rosa controlled Purrazzo and scored several near falls.

Some really nice submission wrestling.  Rosa scored with a DVDR for a close two count.  They battled to the top where Purrazzo attempted a superplex.  Rosa nailed a headbutt to send her to the mat.  Rosa nailed a doublestomp off the top for another near fall.  Purazzo and Rosa battled back and forth with strikes and kicks.

Rosa went for the Thunder Driver but Purrazzo rolled through for a victory roll for a two count, then kicked her in the face.  Purrazzo nailed the Queen's Gambit and scored the clean pin.

Your winner, Deonna Purrazzo!

Just as Purrazzo was about to celebrate, Mickie James came out, making her return to the company.  She entered the ring and took a ring mic.  She said it was good to be back and to be back in front of a live audience.  Purrazzo took the mic and said that this is her moment and her Knockouts division.  James said that's true.  She said she wasn't here to fight her.  She said she's seen Purrazzo's success and ran down her accomplishments.  She said that she was the EVP of NWA Empowerrr and she was going to find the best of the best.  She invited Purrazzo to come to the Empowerrr PPV in August.

Purrazzo said of course she would invite Purrazzo.  Everyone wants her on their show but since she didn't have the respect to let Deonna have her moment, go "grab your trash bag and get the hell out of here."  Purrazzo and Mickie got into it and James drilled her with the Chick Kick.  Purrazzo went to the floor where the two stars stared the other down.

They announced Impact Wrestling Homecoming on 7/31 for Impact+ with a Mixed Tag Team Tournament.

They announced Las Vegas as the home of Bound for Glory 2021 for 10/23 with AAA, AEW and New Japan Pro Wrestling stars appearing.

Impact Wrestling Champion Kenny Omega with Don Callis vs. Sami Callihan - NO DQ.

Callis gave Omega a long, long ring introduction.  Callihan attacked him as soon as he was finished and nailed Omega with a piledriver for a two count.  It was all Sami early on.  He tried to use a fork but Omega stopped him and nailed a series of right hands.  Omega went for a sunset flip but Callihan pulled out a pizza cutter and used it on Omega's forehead.  He placed Omega against the ropes and ripped at his forehead.  Omega was busted open.

Omega cut off Sami but was sent to the floor.  Callihan went for a dive but Omega nailed him with a trash can to the face as he hit the ropes.  Omega beat him with weapons, including a trash can.  He went after Callihan's ankle.  He went for the One-Winged Angel but Callihan slipped behind him and rolled up Omega.  Omega kicked out, sending Callihan crashing into a chair wedged between the buckles at ringside.

Callihan was busted open by this.  Omega worked him over and grabbed the fork, digging it into Callihan's forehead.  Omega fishhooked his mouth with it.   Callihan went back to the floor, where Omega sent him into the guard rails.  Callihan fired back with chops.  He missed one and hit the ring post.  Omega placed a table over Callihan and double stomped it off the apron.  He placed another table on the floor and teased a German supex off the apron.  Callihan bit his hand to break it.

Omega brought him over and attempted a piledriver but Callihan grabbed him low and reversed it, hitting a piledriver through a table on Omega.  The crowd chanted, "Holy sh**."  Callihan brought several more weapons into the ring.  He tossed a trash can from the outside into the ring, nailing Omega.  Callihan was sent into the trash can, but blocked another shot.  Callihan slammed him across the can, then powerbombed him through a table leaning in the corner for another two count.

A barbed wire chair was brought into the equation but Omega drilled Sami into it with a leaping legdrop, then a piledriver onto it.  He nailed a V-Trigger but Callihan made it to the ropes.    Omega placed Callihan on the top and drilled away at Callihan.  He superplexed Callihan into a pile of weapons placed atop a trash can but Callihan kicked out at the last second.

Omega nailed the V-Trigger but Callihan sliped out of the One-Winged Angel.  Callihan placed him on the ropes and went for a tombstome on the barbed wire chair and nailed it, but Omega kicked up at the last second.  Omega tossed salt in Callihan's face, leading to Callihan grabbing the referee and blindly piledriving him.  Omega nailed Callihan with the Impact title and piledrove him, but there was no referee.  A second referee hit the ring but Sami kicked out.  Omega punched the new referee out.

The Good Brothers came out byt Eddie Edwards and Chris Sabin intercepted them.  Callihan nailed a stuff piledriver but only scored a two count.  Callihan pulled out a bag of tacks from under the ring.  Callihan teased a piledriver on them but Don Callis got on the apron to distract him.  Omega tossed tack in the challenger's face.  Omega put his knee into the tacks with the idea that he loaded the V-Trigger and nailed Callihan with the knee but Callihan kicked out.  Omega began putting tacks in Callihan's mouth and nailed another V-Trigger.

Omega nailed the One-Winged Angel into the tacks and scored the pin.

Your winner and still Impact Wrestling Champion, Kenny Omega!

Omega, Callis and The Good Brothers celebrated in the ring.  The lights went out and The Bullet Club theme played.  Out came Jay White.  He made his way to the ring.  The Good Brothers put up the Too Sweet symbol.   Callis joined them.  The PPV went off the air without revealing how White reacted, which was a pretty lame way to have a cliffhanger.

That's it from Nashville.
