Update On AJ Styles Appearing At TNA Slammiversary
With TNA Slammiversary just days away, TNA President Carlos Silva announced that, due to high demand, extra seats had opened up at the event's venue, the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York. In addition, Silva promised that Slammiversary itself would be 'PHENOMENAL.'
Naturally, the latter fueled speculation about a possible appearance from former TNA World Champion AJ Styles, whom fans know as 'The Phenomenal One.' While speaking with WrestleZone, Silva claimed that his phrasing was simply a way to hype up Slammiversary, TNA's biggest show of the year. However, he did acknowledge the 'Phenomenal' moniker as belonging to Styles, whom he described as 'a foundational, historical wrestler.'
A new report from The Takedown On SI has since provided a more concrete update on Styles' potential involvement at TNA Slammiversary. According to the outlet, Styles' potential appearance at Slammiversary has been planned for 'some time,' with upper management said to be making it a top priority. Several members of the TNA roster are also reportedly expecting Styles to be at USB Arena for Slammiversary, though the exact manner in which he may appear is unknown.
Styles spent 12 years under the TNA banner, and in doing so, carved himself a Hall of Fame worthy career. Notably, he claimed the TNA and NWA World Heavyweight Championships as well as the TNA X-Division, Television, and Tag Team Championships. Currently, Styles works for WWE, which is now in the midst of multi-year partnership with TNA.

Yankees bolster outfield, acquire veteran Austin Slater from the White Sox
CHICAGO (AP) — Austin Slater is heading to the New York Yankees. The Yankees acquired the veteran outfielder from the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday in exchange for minor league pitching prospect Gage Ziehl. The Yankees have a pressing need to bolster their outfield ranks with star Aaron Judge out indefinitely while dealing with a flexor strain in his right elbow. The 32-year-old Slater hit .236 with five home runs and 11 RBIs in 51 games with the White Sox this season. The well-traveled Slater can play all three outfield positions. He spent the first seven-plus seasons of his career with San Francisco before being traded to Cincinnati last summer. New York will be Slater's fifth team in just over a year. The Yankees will assume $564,516 of Slater's remaining $1.75 million salary, which also will increase their luxury tax by about $621,000. The trade is the latest in what has been a busy run-up to Thursday's deadline by New York. The Yankees acquired third baseman Ryan McMahon from Colorado and infielder Amed Rosario from Washington over the last week. ___ AP MLB: The Associated Press
