New eight-man tag added to TNA Slammiversary
A new eight-man tag featuring members of WWE NXT’s DarkState vs. TNA’s The System is set for Sunday’s Slammiversary pay-per-view.
As announced during Thursday’s Impact go-home show, Matt Cardona will team with The System’s Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, and JDC against DarkState’s Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Saquon Shugars, and Osiris Griffin.
The new match stems from an angle on Impact where DarkState attacked Cardona, but The System came to Cardona’s rescue:
Seven matches are set for the pay-per-view portion of the card on Sunday, with a Knockouts Tag Team title match and a Busted Open panel set for the Countdown to Slammiversary pre-show on TNA’s digital media channels.
An invasion segment featuring Enzo Amore and Zilla Fatu from indie promotion Fourth Rope Wrestling has also been teased for the event, as has an appearance by WWE’s AJ Styles.
