Ciocco’s TNA Slammiversary 2025 Review

SICKOS! Wait a minute, that doesnt feel right, not here anyway.

Um...TNA Legion, rejoice! For tonight is the companys annual Slammiversary event, this year emanating from the UBS Arena in Long Island, New York.

And while the show is, obviously, vast for showcasing the current roster of not just TNA but also NXT in conjunction with their working agreement, it is also a round for a legendary return.

For tonight, Triple Crown Winner and TNA Icon AJ Styles will be making his return to TNA, and in what capacity, well, we will just have to wait and see! As for the card itself, the richest prize in TNA will be defended, as Trick Wiliams takes on former champion Joe Hendry and Mike Santana in a 3-way dance.

We will have a title versus title match, as Masha Slamovich puts up her Knockouts Title against NXT Womens Champion Jacy Jayne.

In what projects to be extremely chaotic, the TNA tag team titles will be on the line, as The Brothers Nemeth will defend against the Hardys, The Rascalz, and First Cla$$.

Moose will put the X-Division Title on the line, as he faces off with Leon Slater.

Long times friends turned bitter rivals will clash when Cedric Alexander faces off against Mustapha Ali.

Tessa Blanchard and Indi Hartwell will face off, and The System alongside Matt Cardona will take on the terrors of NXT, DarkState.

All of this and, I am sure, so much more in store for us tonight.

I will admit that I was not the biggest proponent of Ms.

Moose around the ring, SPEAR IS COUNTERED WITH A CODE RED! Slater returns Moose to the ring and goes up top, but Moose channels his inner Orange Cassidy, and he flips off Slater! SWANTON BOMB BY SLATER ACROSS THE RING ANYWAY! ANOTHER SWANTON 450 SPLASH! HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE! WINNER: Leon Slater (and NEW Champion) TIME: 15:00 THOUGHTS: They always said that the X-Division was about no limits, and this match was the personification of that.

No limits, indeed.

Holy Shit.

RATING: ****1/2 Post-match, Slater celebrates with his family at ring side.

Carlos Silva goes to give the title belt to Slater, but Moose takes the title from him and...

The lights are a little brighter here, the crowd is louder than it ever has been, and Leon, the talent is better than it ever has been.

AJ says dont listen to the, because you dont deserve it, you earned it! Leon Slater, the youngest X-Division champion in TNA History.

Let that sink in.

You made AJ realize why he loves this company.

Its guys like you who make AJ love what he does.

One of the biggest shows in TNA history but let him talk about Leon before we get back to that match.

You showed everyone that tonight it was about no limits.

That was the foundation when AJ started.

It was him, Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe, Frankie Kazarian, Homicide, Jerry Lynn, they were the foundation.

But the X-Division is in phenomenal hands now.

Youve made history, the next step is to make your legacy.

Slater takes his leave, as AJ poses in every corner.

I will say that I am glad that he used his TNA theme instead of using one of the WWE themes, because it wouldnt have worked IMO as well.

A-Game, the official hydration game of TNA.

Seems like everyone has their own hydration thing going on: WWE Prime AEW Idrinq TNA A-Game The Hometown Man is here, wearing an Islanders jersey, just in case you didnt know where he is from! Johnny Damon is here with his family.

Ryan tries to climb, but Matt smacks him down with a chair.

Nik takes out Matt and he tries to climb.

Jeff cuts him off and Matt puts the chair into the gut of Nik and Ryan.

Chairs have been wrapped around the heads of the Nemeth Brothers, DOUBLE TWIST OF FATE BY THE HARDYS! Jeff climbs again, hes right there, he rips the titles down! WINNER: The Hardys (And NEW Champions) TIME: 16:45 THOUGHTS: Whats old is new again, but it should be a minor complaint.

If this is, indeed, the last run of the brothers we all grew up watching kill themselves in these kinds of matches, then I am happy for them.

This was a great match with some amazing spots, none better than the drop-down ladder from the roof, and Francis near damn killing himself falling into the ladder.

RATING: **** LOOK OUT FOR THE BOMBFALL , as Bully Ray is here post-match! He gets into the ring and asks for a mic.

Allow me to be the first to congratulate you on ANOTHER world tag team championship.

You guys are catching up.

Another amazing match from the Hardys, and another reason why tonight an attendance record for TNA.

A record that they set back in 2013.

But he is not here for that, he has a damn good reason why he is here.

And the whole wrestling world knows why.

25 years ago, the Hardys and the Dudleys made history in New York in the first ever tables match at the Royal Rumble.

Their careers have crossed paths as they both have went on to greatness.

There is always that talk about who is the best tag team of all time.

The greatest tag team of all-time is the Road Warriors, I think we can all agree.

What this is about is giving wrestling fans all over the world the last great tag team match of all time.

This is about something special, and this is about something that will never happen again.

October, Bound for Glory, Hardys, Team 3-D, one last match.

WHERE IS D-VON chants, and Bully says that is a great question.

At BFG you will hear one last time, D-VON, GET THE TABLES! I mean, again, if we are going to do this big for the last tag team title run for the Hardys, then it doesnt get much better than the Hardys and the Dudleys going at it one more time.

Its not the same without Edge and Christian, but itll do.

Bound for Glory will take place in Lowell, Mass on October 12th, Tom informs us.

Santino Marella is back.

He wants to point out that Gia Miller is not here, she was attacked by Tessa Blanchard earlier, so Tessa is suspended indefinitely.

SON OF A GUN, HE IS NOT MESSING AROUND ANYMORE! Santino asks The Snake, Dave LaGreca, and Tommy Dreamer who they think will win the main event.

But before Dreamer can answer, Frankie Kazarian is here.

With all due to respect, wait, he doesnt respect Tommy.

He doesnt care about the predictions of the smark radio show, and Dave, you suck.

We are celebrating attendance records in TNA, and we are celebrating the King of TNA.

No one has done more for the company than he has, so since he isnt included in this match, he is walking his fine ass down to ring side to do commentary.

And if you dont like that, then you have permission to hate him now.

Video package for the main event incoming.

TNA World Title Match: Trick Williams (C) vs.

Joe Hendry vs.

Mike Santana Call me crazy, but given the super long and affluent introduction, you think they are telegraphing a title change here? Wait, never mind, Trick has the Harlem Gospel Choir telling us to WHOOP THAT TRICK.

So, match starts before midnight, or no? Oh, wait, we still need the super long introduction.

So, match starts by 1AM? Finally, the bell rings, as Williams tells his challengers whats what.

He gets pinballed around by the challengers, as they throw him from the ring.

SPIN THE BLOCK! ANOTHER ONE! THE COVER, BUT WILLIAMS IS BACK! HE THROWS SANTANA OUT OF THE RING AND COVERS HENDRY TO KEEP THE TITLE! HES ALIVE! WINNER: Trick Williams (Still Champion) TIME: 13:10 THOUGHTS: Two men from TNA in the match, and neither one could win the title.

Williams did, in fact, Trick both of them and everyone with cause for concern over nothing.

It was a fine main event, but the ending was a little rough.

RATING: ***1/4 Williams shows us post-match that he was, in fact, perfectly fine, and duped everyone LOL! Tom wants to know when this nightmare will end, and with that, we are done! 8.5 The final score: review Very Good The 411 Hailed as the second biggest show on the TNA calendar, Slammiversary was a rousing success overall.

While TNA did lose the Knockout's Title to NXT (along with not being able to bring home the TNA World Title), there was still an amazing number of matches that delivered.

And we got some odd school love for the Hardys win and the return of Bully Ray and AJ Styles, with a keen eye on the future, as seen with Leon Slater's win.

The show flowed really well until the main event, and for that, you have to appreciate how they handle their run time.
