David Finlay and Juice Robinson made a surprise return to IMPACT Wrestling at Slammiversary and were booked in an impromptu match against Mahabali Shera and Madman Fulton.

The two giant men were arguing at ringside over their expulsion from the Ultimate X match when the former IMPACT Wrestling Tag Team Champions showed up. They won the match in 75 seconds in a fun little segment to pop the crowd.

However, they made their presence felt (partially) after the Slammiversary main event when they looked to attack Jay White. But the show went off air just as they made their way to the ramp. Had we seen their entire segment properly, FinJuice's return would have been ranked higher on this list.

#3 Mickie James appears at Slammiversary

Mickie james confronted Deonna Purrazzo

Following her victory at Slammiversary, Deonna Purrazzo looked to address the crowd to brag about retaining the IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Championship.

She was cut off by a bonafide wrestling legend, Mickie James. The former WWE Divas Champion extended The Virtuosa an invitation to the upcoming NWA Empowerrr pay-per-view.

Purrazzo was displeased as she disrespectfully declined and berated James for taking her spotlight at Slammiversary. After James had heard enough, she delivered the Mick Kick to the champion and sent her retreating.

I’m not just here to DO business… I’m here to CHANGE it. Oh & in case you forgot, welcome to #HardcoreCountry https://t.co/e53vE7i9U0

Mickie James is a veteran of the industry and played a crucial role in elevating women's wrestling. James vs Purrazzo is a dream match for the fans and hopefully we will get to see it in IMPACT Wrestling.
