Final match predictions for Impact Wrestling's Slammiversary 2020

It seems that Impact Wrestling can do no wrong right now. The company has been booking intriguing storylines and has been firing on all cylinders recently. The teasers for the upcoming Slammiversary PPV, including the debut/return of many WWE Superstars who were released recently, have got the wrestling world talking, generating interest even from non-Impact fans.

Expectations are high from Impact's annual PPV, and if the match card is anything to go by, we're in for a memorable event. All eyes will be on Slammiversary to see which released WWE Superstars appear, and if booked well, Impact can be sure of increasing their audience and joining the 'big leagues' once again.

So without further ado, allow me to predict the match card for Impact's annual extravaganza, also known as Slammiversary:

---

Honorable mention: TJP, Fallah Bahh and The Deaners vs. Reno Scum and XXXL

Will we have this mammoth clash at Slammiversary?

Given the recent storyline developments, this seems to be the match that may be added to this year's card. Reno Scum has been at odds with TJP and Fallah Bahh for quite some time now, with both teams brawling all over the arena last week. Another exciting development this week was XXXL snapping on The Deaners after the latter defeated them in a tag bout. Both these rivalries can be clubbed together to give us a massive eight-man tag team match for Slammiversary.

The only reason this match makes the honorable mention and not the actual card is that it has not been announced by Impact yet, and given the stacked card that has been planned for Slammiversary, these tag-team rivalries may be pushed forward to the next PPV. If this match does take place at Slammiversary, though, expect the heels to get the win in order to further the storylines.

Winners: Reno Scum and XXXL

#6 The North (c) vs. Ken Shamrock and Sami Callihan - Impact World Tag Team Championships

The North will look to continue their year-long reign at Slammiversary

This one is quite an intriguing match which has been booked by the company. The North has run through almost the entire tag division, and a feud against Sami Callihan and Ken Shamrock will surely be a fresh one. While many may talk in favor of Callihan and Shamrock winning the titles here, that may not be the case. Expect Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson (who have seemingly joined Impact) to interfere in this match at Slammiversary, leading to a massive Triple Threat at the next PPV.

Winner by Disqualification: Ken Shamrock and Sami Callihan

STILL Tag Team Champions: The North

#5 Moose (c) vs. Tommy Dreamer - TNA World Heavyweight Championship

Will the self-proclaimed TNA World Champion walk out of Slammiversary with the title?

The absence of the then Impact World Champion Tessa Blanchard led to Impact pushing forward with this unique storyline, making Moose bring back the original TNA World Heavyweight Championship and declaring himself as the champion. Moose has been cementing his legacy since crowning himself as the champ, defending Impact's big gold belt against Michael Hernandez, Suicide, and Crazy Steve.

A rivalry with Tommy Dreamer, with the ECW Original putting over the champion at Slammiversary, will surely elevate Moose and add another accolade to his list of accomplishments.

Winner and STILL TNA World Heavyweight Champion: Moose

#4 Willie Mack (c) vs. Chris Bey - X Division Championship

Will Bey finally win the title at Slammiversary?

This match is a strong pick to be the match of the night. Chris Bey has never failed when it comes to impressing in the ring, and a title win has been long overdue, so many expect him to win the title at Slammiversary, but that might not be the case.

This week's Impact saw a massive development in the Bey/Swinger storyline. While Swinger was able to lift the ban on him, he overheard Bey driving his name to the mud in an attempt to impress Gia Miller. Swinger then informed Bey that though he's allowed to, he won't be in Bey's corner for the X-Division Championship match at Slammiversary.

Don't be surprised if Swinger interferes and costs Bey the title opportunity. Not only does this allow Bey to come out of Slammiversary looking strong in defeat, but it also extends the Bey/Mack program. Mack can go on to defend the title against an ex-WWE star, while Bey can finish off business with Swinger. These two men can then collide down the line, with Bey finally winning the championship.

Sorry, Bey, your friend costs you the win here.

Winner and STILL X-division Champion: Willie Mack

#3 Jordynne Grace (c) vs. Deonna Purrazzo - Knockouts Championship

Will The Virtuosa's mind games get the better of the champ at Slammiversary?

Impact has done a great job in building Deonna Purrazzo, rocketing her straight into the title picture. The Knockouts division suffered a setback due to the champion not being available for quite some time due to the pandemic, and a change of guard is what may be needed right now to get the division back on track. A title change at Slammiversary also solidifies The Virtuosa as a dominant Knockout. So, Purrazzo gets the W here.

Winner and NEW Knockouts Champion: Deonna Purrazzo

#2 Gauntlet Match to crown the #1 contender for the Impact Knockouts Championship

Who will walk out of Slammiversary as the number one contender?

Participants: Alisha Edwards, Havok, Kiera Hogan, Kimber Lee, Kylie Rae, Nevaeh, Madison Rayne, Rosemary, Susie, Tasha Steelz, and Taya Valkyrie.

Given the number of alliances that are present within the knockouts division, fans thought that the Knockouts Tag Team Titles were returning at Slammiversary. Though that did not happen, Impact found another intriguing way of getting all the talented knockouts on the card.

Nevaeh and Havok are currently feuding with Tasha Steelz & Kiera Hogan, and Rosemary & Taya Valkyrie have another intriguing storyline going on, which doesn't need the title. Considering that Deonna is winning the title, we can rule out Madison Rayne and Kimber Lee, given that both are heels, along with Alisha Edwards, who was squashed by Deonna recently.

My pick for this match is Kylie Rae, who being the underdog babyface, can have a great feud with the dominant heel champion in The Virtuosa, even putting the latter over in her first title defense.

Winner: Kylie Rae

#1 Eddie Edwards vs. Trey vs. Ace Austin vs. Mystery participant - Impact World Championship

A new World Champion will be crowned at Slammiversary, but who will it be?

The Impact World Title picture has undergone a lot of changes, with Champion Tessa Blanchard released and Michael Elgin suspended. But then, the build on the mystery participant has been done well, considering that IMPACT is teasing many former WWE Superstars for Slammiversary.

The bout itself will be fast-paced, and Ace Austin will take the win. Sure, there's a very likely possibility of EC3 returning and straight away winning the title, but I guess him feuding with Moose over the TNA World Heavyweight Title will be better for the time being. Does Bully Ray return and win the title, before reuniting Aces and Eights? One cannot be sure about that. The safe bet is on Ace Austin winning the title at Slammiversary.

Winner and NEW Impact World Champion: Ace Austin
