Production
Background
Slammiversary is a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) to celebrate the anniversary of the company's first event, which was held on June 19, 2002. As such, the event is usually held in the summer (June or July). The first event took place nearly a year after that event on June 18, 2003, and has since been considered one of Impact's premiere PPV events, along with Bound for Glory and – since 2020 – Hard To Kill, and Rebellion. [1]
On April 20, 2024, at Rebellion, it was announced by TNA that Slammiversary would take place on July 20, 2024, at Verdun Auditorium in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. [2] [3]
Storylines
The event will feature several professional wrestling matches, which involve different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines. Wrestlers portray heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches. Storylines are produced on the company's weekly programs, Impact! and Xplosion. [4]
On the June 20 episode of TNA Impact!, TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella announced the "Road to Slammiversary Series," where five singles matches would take place over the next few weeks. The winner of each match would go on to Slammiversary to challenge TNA World Champion Moose in a six-way elimination match. The Road to Slammiversary began that same episode, with Josh Alexander defeating Eric Young to qualify. [5]
