A number one contender’s gauntlet match will be part of the card for Slammiversary 2020.
Impact Wrestling announced today that Rosemary, Nevaeh, Susie (Su Yung), Kiera Hogan, Taya Valkyrie, Tasha Steelz, Alisha Edwards, Kylie Rae, Kimber Lee, and Jessicka Havok will face off in a gauntlet match at Slammiversary. The winner will get an upcoming shot at the Knockouts Championship.
Jordynne Grace is the current Knockouts Champion. She’s defending her title against Deonna Purrazzo at Slammiversary.
Slammiversary is taking place on Saturday, July 18. Willie Mack defending the X-Division Championship against Chris Bey has also been announced for the pay-per-view.
Prior to Impact terminating its relationship with Tessa Blanchard and announcing that Michael Elgin won’t be appearing in any further Impact programming, Blanchard defending the Impact World Championship against Elgin, Eddie Edwards, Ace Austin, and Trey Miguel in a five-way match had been set for Slammiversary. Impact hasn’t revealed their new plans for that match or how their new World Champion will be decided.
Impact has been teasing that Slammiversary will feature involvement from wrestlers recently released by WWE. It’s also been announced that at least one former World Champion will make his return at the PPV.
