5 Surprises that IMPACT Wrestling can pull off at Slammiversary: Unexpected heel turn, new champion crowned

#3 Madman Fulton wins the IMPACT Wrestling World Title at Slammiversary; Ace Austin turns face

Will Austin's enforcer turn on him at Slammiversary?

After the breakup of Ohio Versus Everything (oVe), Madman Fulton has been enjoying his role as Ace Austin's muscleman. Given the dominant wins Fulton has been on the receiving end of since the reveal, it is safe to say that the promotion is high on him, which may lead to them revealing him to be the mystery opponent at Slammiversary.

Just think about it! Everyone is predicting either Eric Young or EC3 to come out as the mystery opponent. Fulton coming out as the mystery opponent will surely be a surprise, albeit a disappointing one.

Given his alliance with Ace Austin, the two men can dominate the majority of the match before Fulton pulls off the ultimate swerve and turns on his ally, pinning him to win the Impact World Champion.

As far as Ace Austin is concerned, this loss will kick-off a massive rivalry between him and Fulton, which will see Austin turning into an anti-hero, before becoming the face of the company. That's a role Impact surely has in mind for The Ace, given that they compared him to AJ Styles in a video package featuring the World Title contenders.

It may seem unbelievable, but then that's what all surprises are.
