Slammiversary XV marked an interesting chapter in Impact Wrestling

#2 Impact Tag Team champions LAX vs. Drago & Hijo del Fantasma vs. Laredo Kid & Garza Jr. vs. Naomichi Marufuji & Taiji Ishimori

Santana and Marufuji started the proceedings with some back and forth action. Marufuji unloaded with some great kicks. Laredo tagged in and hit a springboard splash into the ring followed by a reverse neck breaker. Ishimori joined the fray and got in some offence of his own. Ortiz tagged in and battled with Ishimori, and got in a few powerful moves including a Northern Lights Suplex for a two count.

Garza Jr. joined in and after a few moves, met with a hurricanrana by Ortiz. Drago hit a Superkick to send Garza out of the ring, while Fantasma and Drago cleaned the house together. Fantasma teased to take a dive but was distracted by LAX.

Santana landed some stiff kicks on Fantasma. LAX downed Drago with some brilliant double team. A pinfall was broken by up by Garza. In a high spot, everyone stacked up against each other and finally came tumbling down.

Drago hit Ishimori with a tornado DDT, diving off Fantasma's body. Three guys then went to the top rope for a Triple Moonsault only to have Marufuji break the pin. Ishimori took a dive over the top rope and managed to land on his feet.

Back inside the ring, Fantasma hit a spinning piledriver on Ishimori but Marufuji broke up the pin. Fantasma sent Marufuji to the outside and hit a big suicide dive on him. Homicide hit Garza with a few shots and sent him into the ring for LAX to capitalise. However, the pinning attempt was broken by Drago. Ortiz soon joined his LAX team member and hit a double team move on Laredo to get the win.

Winners: LAX defeated Drago & Hijo del Fantasma, Laredo Kid & Garza Jr., and Naomichi Marufuji & Taiji Ishimori to retain the GWF/Impact World Tag Team Championships
