We are told that one point, there was talk Styles would appear live at the PPV but it later turned into him sending a taped promo.
Despite the insanely scary bump they took, we are told by Impact Wrestling sources that both Deonna Purrazzo and Chelsea Green are OK following tonight's Queen of the Mountain match:

MLW officials declined to comment on Davey Richards appearing on Slammiversary tonight. Given they were mentioned by name, obviously the two sides worked together on this, so we'll see if this means any Impact talents pop up Thursday for Battle Riot in NYC as there are still some slots open for that 40 Man bout.
NWA President and former Impact Wrestling President Billy Corgan was at tonight's Impact Wrestling Slammiversary PPV, which featured the NWA's Nick Aldis. No word if he and Dixie Carter, who Corgan once sued, had any interaction. Dixie was with her husband, former Impact official Serg Salinas.
Ed Nordholm was also in attendance.
The announced date for the 2022 Bound for Glory PPV, Saturday 10/8, is the same date as WWE's Extreme Rules PPV in Philly.
Impact Wrestling will be taping TV tomorrow in Nashville at the Fairgrounds. PWInsider.com is seeking live reports. There are still some tickets left for the show.
Two voices you could trust, two voices that made every single second they called better with their passion, enthusiasm and knowledge.
