Bully Ray to team with Deaner at Impact Slammiversary

Update —

Impact Wrestling is saying that PCO’s status for Slammiversary is uncertain after he was attacked and set on fire by Bully Ray and Steve Maclin on Impact last week. 

**********

Bully Ray has found a new partner for his tag team match at Slammiversary.

Bully Ray will be teaming with Deaner against PCO & Scott D’Amore at this Saturday’s Impact Wrestling pay-per-view in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Deaner is replacing Steve Maclin in the match after Maclin had to be pulled from Slammiversary due to injury.

Deaner was revealed as Bully Ray’s new Slammiversary partner during Monday’s episode of Busted Open Radio.

Maclin was injured while wrestling on Impact’s Down Under tour in Australia. After facing Alex Shelley on night one, Maclin wasn’t able to compete in his scheduled match against Frankie Kazarian on night two.

Former NHL player Darren McCarty, who has had issues with Bully Ray in Impact, will be the special enforcer for the Bully Ray & Deaner vs. PCO & D’Amore match.
