First match announced for TNA Slammiversary
TNA Slammiversary is scheduled for July 20 from UBS Arena in Long Island, New York, and now we have the first official match for the PPV event.
Santino Marella used his Director of Authority power to book Moose versus Leon Slater for the X-Division Championship.

The justification was Slater pinning the champ in an 8-man tag bout at Against All Odds. The history runs deeper than that though with the controversial finish in the Ultimate X match at TNA Rebellion. Slater had retrieved the title, but Moose speared him to steal the belt before Slater's feet hit the mat.
For those sleeping on Slater, here is a taste of his skills with the swanton 450 splash.
At the end of Impact, Slater leaped over the ring post onto a pile of bodies.
There could be a wrinkle in this match for Slammiversary, because Moose has business first at AAA Triplemania Regia to defend the X-Division Championship in a four-way against Joe Hendry, El Mesias, and El Hijo del Wagner Jr. A title change is doubtful in that bout, but it still needs to be considered as a possibility. For those keeping track of the live timeline, the Slammiversary announcement was filmed before the Triplemania Regia announcement.
