Main Event of Tonight’s Slammiversary Spoiled
The main event of tonight’s Slammiversary event has been spoiled by the cable guide listing for Thursday’s episode of Impact. The listing reveals the following:
“It’s all about the fallout from Slammiversary. Alberto El Patron will hold a celebration in the ring with a guest of honor, but an unwelcomed visitor makes their way to the IMPACT Zone. LAX announces their newest member, and things go south for Sonjay Dutt. Also: the Super X Cup ’17 will make a return.”
The listing above indicates that Alberto El Patron will leave the event as both Impact and GFW World Champion.

TNA Impact Changing Their Name Again
It looks like the once “TNA” name is once again getting a new name change.
With the news of the merger between TNA/Impact Wrestling and Global Force Wrestling, Tenessean.com reports that this will eventually lead to the company being re-branded as GFW (Global Force Wrestling) moving forward.
The belief is that their weekly television show that airs on Pop TV will keep the “Impact” name and the headquarters will remain in Nashville, TN. Sunday’s Slammiversary show is being considered a ‘re-launch’ of the company’s pay-per-view business.
Matt Hardy Continues to Take Shots Former Bosses
Matt Hardy continues to take shots at his former bosses at Impact Wrestling. He sent out the following tweet suggesting that TNA would have been better if they sold the company to Billy Corgan instead of Anthem Sports:
If @Billy had got TNA, company/talent would’ve been great.
Instead, a naive @EdNordholm is now funding GFW into existence at TNA’s expense. https://t.co/2ajD3OhmJr
