Backstage, Johnny Swinger was trying to pump up Chris Bey for his upcoming X-Division Championship match at IMPACT Wrestling Slammiversary. To cheer him up, Swinger went off to the ref who claimed Swinger was banned from ringside on Saturday.
Swinger threatened the ref and IMPACT Wrestling with a lawsuit, managing to get his way. However, when he came back, Chris Bey was hitting on IMPACT Wrestling interviewer Gia and insulted the veteran. Swinger decided that Bey needed to win on his own at Slammiversary.
Next up was the IMPACT Wrestling Slammiversary contract signing for the Knockouts Championship Match. Deonna Purrazzo said that there won't be any tricks or foul play. On Saturday, the Virtuosa is taking the title from Jordynne Grace.
Grace responded by bashing Purrazzo's face off the table after signing the contract.
We got a look into the minds of Ken Shamrock and Sami Callihan days before their surprising IMPACT Wrestling Tag Team Championship match at Slammiversary. The North's biggest threat, oddly enough, seems to have come about from two bitter enemies.
However, Callihan made it known that he would be willing to turn on Shamrock at any moment Saturday.
