TNA Slammiversary 2015 Preview #Slammiversary #KOTM

By @B_Rock1978

Wrestling Lockup with Brandon, brought to you by Triple Threat CLE, brings you the TNA Slammiversary preview for tonight's pay per view. TNA Slammiversary takes place live at TNA's home base, The Impact Zone, in Orlando, Florida.

- "King of the Mountain Match For The King of the Mountain Championship": Jeff Jarrett vs. Bobby Roode vs. Eric Young vs. Matt Hardy vs. Drew Galloway: Probably the biggest story right now in TNA, the return of the originator of the King of the Mountain Match, former TNA World Heavyweight Champion and TNA creator Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett is not only the owner of Global Force Wrestling, but Jarrett has returned to his former company he once owned to compete in a match that he created. What does this mean for Jarrett's GFW promotion? Will we see a GFW invasion or a possible merger with TNA? Matt Hardy continues his singles run while his brother Jeff recovers from his injury.

Matt looks to become the first ever King of the Mountain Champion. Two former TNA World Heavyweight Champions, once friends, now enemies and TNA originals, Bobby Roode and Eric Young renew their rivalry in this match. Will either one of these old school Team Canada members walk out the new King of the Mountain Champion? Newcomer to TNA and the leader of The Rising, Drew Galloway, looks to continue his crusade of making changes in wrestling. Can Galloway win the King of the Mountain Championship and prove The Rising is upon us?

- "TNA Knockouts Championship, Tag Team Handicap Match": Taryn Terrell (c), Jade and Marti vs. Awesome Kong and Brooke Tessmacher: Taryn Terrell has been on top of the TNA Knockout's Division for quite some time, fending off all challengers. Taryn joined forces with the debuting duo of Jade and Marti a few months back. Together the trio formed the faction called The Dollhouse and have been causing havoc within TNA. Awesome Kong returned to TNA a few months back also, renewed a short feud with her former nemesis, Gail Kim and then immediately targeted the TNA Knockout's Championship after. Brooke Tessmacher, another returning Knockout, has also set her sights on Taryn and her TNA Knockout's Championship. Can The Dollhouse fend off Tessmacher and Kong and help Taryn retain her title? Will Kong and Tessmacher be able to work as a team, knowing if either of them score the pin they'll be the new champion?

- "Winner Decides Stipulation In Match 5 Of The Best Of Five Series": Austin Aries vs. Davey Richards: What a tag team series The Wolves and Austin Aries and Bobby Roode have displayed in the first four matches. The TNA World Tag Team Championship was held up a few months back when The Hardy Boys had to vacate the titles, due to Jeff Hardy breaking his leg. Aries and Roode and The Wolves both considered themselves the #1 tag team in TNA with The Hardys on the shelf. Both teams decided to have a best of five series to determine who was the better team and who would become the new TNA World Tag Team Champions. With the series tied at two wins a piece, the winner of tonight's one on one match will pick the stipulation for the finale for the TNA World Tag Team Championship.

- "Non-Sanctioned Match": James Storm vs. Magnus: What started out as an innocent "One More Match" plead, has turned into a very personal feud between Storm and Magnus. Storm sided with the fans and asked Magnus' fiance, former TNA Knockout's Champion, Mickie James, to give us one more match. Mickie refused at first, stating as being a stay at home mom now to Magnus' son. Storm, however, was able to get Mickie to change her mind in weeks to come, which upset Magnus. Storm next threw his seniority friendship in Magnus' face and said let Mickie choose for her self. Storm would then buy presents for Mickie and her family and make promises of helping better Mickie's career with more money. Magnus responded by busting a guitar that was a gift to Mickie over Storm's head and a stern warning to stay away from his family. Storm would respond back by meeting alone with Mickie, who said thanks but no thanks to everything. Storm, pissed, would then shove Mickie off a train platform. Storm then met Magnus and shoved a stroller off the TNA stage, making Magnus think his son was in it, but it was only a fake doll. This match looks to be a very violent fight as Magnus looks to take revenge for his family.

- Mr. Anderson and Bobby Lashley vs. Ethan Carter III and Tyrus: Ethan Carter III and Tyrus have been on a political campaign to get the undefeated EC3 a TNA World Heavyweight Championship Match against Kurt Angle. Mr. Anderson arrived to tell EC3 that he doesn't get things handed to him around here, he has to do it the old fashioned way and earn it. Anderson faced off against EC3, one on one, and looked to end the undefeated streak. EC3 came out still undefeated and along with Tyrus, beat down Anderson. Bobby Lashley made the save for Mr. Anderson and inserted himself into the feud. Can the team of Anderson and Lashley defeat EC3 and Tyrus and possibly give EC3 his first pinfall or submission loss? Will EC3 and Tyrus come out victorious, as EC3 gets closer to his TNA World Heavyweight Championship Match against Kurt Angle?

- "Bram's Open Challenge": Bram vs. Matt Morgan: Week after week, Bram has been challenging past TNA wrestlers to open challenges. We've seen wrestlers from TNA's past, such as Crimson, Joseph Parks and even Vader accept Bram's challenge. It was Bram's match with Vader, where we saw Bram try to permanently injure the wrestling legend with his trademarked turnbuckle wrench. Matt Morgan returned to TNA, made the save for Vader and immediately challenged Bram to face him one on one. Will Bram take out Matt Morgan and add him to his list of past TNA wrestlers taken out? Will Matt Morgan bring an end to Bram and his open challenges?

- "Battle Of The BroMans": Robbie E vs. Jessie Godderz: Tension between the two former BroMans began to rise when Robbie E and Godderz lost a tag team match a few months back, which would've qualified them for a shot at the TNA World Tag Team Championship. Robbie E and Godderz turned on each other and began brawling, ending their team and friendship. Godderz completely cut ties with the BroMans as he would next turn on DJ Z, also a BroMan, and proceeded to beat him down. Robbie E made the save and chased off Godderz. Who will come out victorious and be the ultimate BroMan?

If you can't see the event, no worries! Be sure to check back here on Monday afternoon, with my TNA Slammiversary recap.
