Impact opens with highlights from last week’s Impact where Jeff Jarrett was suspended and Kurt Angle defeated Sting to advance to the King of the Mountain match with a little help from Matt Morgan. What will Mick Foley have in store for tonight as we head into Slammiversary?
The Impact intro hits and we are welcomed to tonight’s show and see that the ring is filled with balloons and streamers as Mick Foley’s music hits. Foley comes down to the ring with Earl Hebner, his personal security and a clown with more balloons. Foley says that he has found his smile once again and informs the fans that Earl Heber will be fine after suffering the attack from Jeff Jarrett.
Mick Foley then calls AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Kurt Angle and the guest of honor, Jeff Jarrett, to the ring. Some confetti starts to fly as Foley announces that Samoa Joe and AJ Styles will team up to face Kurt Angle and Sting in a three way tag team dance. The other team will consist of Jeff Jarrett and Mick Foley. Samoa Joe doesn’t want to wait, though, for the match tonight and clocks Angle and has to be pulled of by security.
We head to the back where Jeremy Borash is with Daffney, Dr. Stevie and Raven. Daffney says she is going to be in a match made in hell against Angelina Love, Taylor Wilde and Awesome Kong. JB says that Angelina is scheduled to be Daffney’s partner to which she says her only partner is Raven. As far as Raven goes, he says he can sense Abyss in the building and says that Abyss should prepare a tombstone for both of them since they will need them after their Monsters Ball match.
