Tonight, Impact Wrestling delivered the seventeenth Slammiversary event in the company's history. The Impact World Champion, Brian Cage, would defend his belt for the first time against the Unbreakable Michael Elgin. Elgin sent Cage to the hospital the night Cage captured the gold and has since been on a rampage, running through the likes of Willie Mack and Rich Swann.
Speaking of Swann, his incredible X-Division Title reign was in jeopardy tonight, as he faced former world champion Johnny Impact. With John E. Bravo at his side, the Mayor of Slamtown hoped to ruin Swann's night and leave with his wife as two of Impact Wrestling's top champions.

But as we've seen, their personalities haven't meshed well, and we may see them turn on each other tonight.

Callihan said that tonight, she's doing what most people want. He's going to treat Tessa Blanchard like his equal, and that means carnage and blood for her. Yet, now he's seen as the bad guy. Tonight, they would be making history, and he would be walking out with his arm raised.
#3. First Blood Match: Killer Kross vs. Eddie Edwards
Edwards started the bout with Kenny, striking Kross across the sternum. A suicide dive to the outside sent Kross into the barricade. Impact's resident Hardcore Hero then pelted Kross with chops before picking up a steel chair. As Edwards pandered to the crowd, Kross recovered, rushing Edwards and spiking him on the apron with a double-handed choke bomb.
Inside the ring, Kross stalked Edwards, but the former world champion tossed him overhead with a belly to belly suplex. Kross responded with a suplex of his own. Edwards took him outside and set up for another suicide dive, but Kross tossed a chair into his head, leaving him dangling in the ropes.
From the apron, a gut wrench suplex drove Edwards onto a pile of chairs, leaving him struggling to move as Kross picked up another chair. He went for two shots on Edwards, only to ricochet off the steel barricade and ring post. Edwards picked up a chair of his own, launching it into Kross's head and forcing him to roll inside, hiding his face from the referee.

Kross ducked, going for the Kross Jacket. Edwards smacked him overhead twice, but Kross held on. The two fell to the outside, where Edwards avoided another Kross Jacket for a tiger driver on the mat outside.
Another pair of Boston Knee Parties on the inside left Kross nearly unconscious. The referee checked but saw Kross was still clean. Edwards picked up Kenny, snapping it across his knee and stabbing at his forehead and mouth with the splintered bits of the kendo stick. Kross's mouth was sliced open, leading to the end of the match.
Result: Eddie Edwards defeated Killer Kross
Backstage, Tessa Blanchard was met by an interviewer, asking about her main event match with Sami Callihan. She shoved him against the wall before walking away.
Backstage with Melissa Santos, Rob Van Dam discussed the mind of Moose. He said that Moose has had his eyes on him since RVD returned earlier this year, and he knows where the money is, setting up a match with a legend. However, there are consequences to all actions, and he'll face his tonight at Slammiversary.
#4. Moose vs. Rob Van Dam
Moose laid out RVD with a shoulder block. Van Dam took him down to the mat and attempted a Rolling Thunder. Moose rolled to the outside, but couldn't escape RVD's springboard senton.

As he ran across the ring, Moose followed up with a running boot and a delayed dropkick. RVD was tossed outside after a suplex, with Moose looking for the count-out victory.
Van Dam made it back inside, only to face the power of Moose, launching him hard into the turnbuckle, damaging his back. Moose used RVD's taunt, much to the chagrin of the Impact crowd. A rear chin lock took Mr. Friday Nights to the ground. As he got back to his feet, Moose planted another bicycle kick on his jaw. Some more taunting from him allowed RVD to shake off the daze he was in, sending him spine first onto the ramp outside.
Moose came back in to retaliate but was dropped by a pair of clotheslines. Moose caught him with a poke to the eye, only to be met by a leaping back kick to the face. A split-legged moonsault earned Van Dam a two-count.

A spinning back kick to the gut from him set up for a DDT.
The referee checked on Moose. As RVD came over to continue his assault, he was hit by a low blow through the ref. Moose rolled outside and grabbed a chair. The ref stopped him, allowing Van Dam to get back to his feet and hit the Van Daminator. Moose was able to get his leg across the rope before the pinfall.

Result: Moose defeated Rob Van Dam via pinfall
Taya Valkyrie shoved Melissa Santos out of the screen, taking the mic and verbally running down Rosemary for not ridding her of Su Yung and Havok.

Valkyrie grabbed a ladder and took them both out, then sent Havok into it face first with a body scissors takedown. Havok was left on top of the ladder while Valkyrie set up for a dive. Rosemary stopped her, putting her in the tree of woe again. Rosemary then climbed up, and with Valkyrie launching Rosemary backwards, sent them crashing onto the ladder with a superplex. Havok barely managed to roll away in time.
As Valkyrie finally recovered, she turned into a spear from Rosemary. Rosemary then brought in a bag of thumb tacks, pouring them out in the corner. Valkyrie attempted the Road to Valhalla, but Rosemary blocked it. A German suplex however allowed Valkyrie to driver her into the tacks with a curb stomp.
Havok broke up the pin, and tossed Valkyrie outside. Yung tried to pin Rosemary, leading to Havok picking her up by the hair. Mitchell and Havok demanded answers from Yung, leading to her spitting the mist on the Sinister Minister. Havok bit through her Mandible Claw, but was taken down by a second attempt. Outside, Rosemary and Valkyrie were fighting on the apron where a table was set up.

Bravo polished Impact's abs as he got some air and Impact went in once again. With a distraction from Bravo, Impact picked Swann's leg, but the champion came back with an arm drag and a dropkick to the face. Bravo gathered all the thumbtacks around the ring, tossing them inside and forcing the ref to clean the ring. This allowed Impact to catch Swann with a cheap shot, and hung him up on the top rope, crotching him.
