Slammiversary promised a lot and delivered on their promises

#1 Jay White makes his IMPACT Wrestling debut

Bullet Club. 4 Life? We're not sure yet.

IMPACT Wrestling was done then, as we got one of the biggest names in professional wrestling appearing at the end of the show. After a fantastic no disqualification match between Sami Callihan and champion Kenny Omega, the IWGP Never Openweight Champion appeared on the ramp.

Before making his way to the ring, Jay White eyed the AEW World Championship which was sitting on stage. He slowly approached the ring before entering while Omega, Don Callis, and The Good Brothers stared on.

The tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Maybe a switchblade. Get it? Because he's Switchblade Jay White?

The Good Brothers and Callis threw up the Too Sweet, with the IMPACT Wrestling Tag Team Champions assuming White was here to support them and unite The Bullet Club across multiple companies. After all, White is the leader of The Bullet Club.

Before White could do so, someone rushed the ring and the feed cut. While it's a divisive topic as to whether cutting to black like that was a good idea by IMPACT Wrestling, it's hard to deny the amount of intrigue going into next week's episode.

It turns out that it was FinJuice who rushed the ring. At NJPW Resurgence, David Finlay will challenge Jay White for the Never Openweight Championship. Will we see more of their feud play out on IMPACT Wrestling going forward? One can only hope.
