It celebrated TNA’s 23rd anniversary with a record-breaking crowd of 7,623 fans, the largest ever for a TNA event in North America. With thrilling matches, surprising returns, and championship showdowns, Slammiversary 2025 was a night to remember. Let’s dive into the highlights of this unforgettable wrestling spectacle!
A Historic Night for TNA Slammiversary 2025
Slammiversary is one of TNA’s biggest events, often called one of their “Big Four” PPVs alongside Hard To Kill, Rebellion, and Bound for Glory. This year’s event was extra special because it showcased a unique partnership between TNA and WWE’s NXT brand. Wrestlers from both promotions competed, creating exciting crossovers that had fans on the edge of their seats. The UBS Arena was buzzing with energy as fans filled the stands, ready for a night of high-flying moves, intense rivalries, and championship glory.
TNA President Carlos Silva called Slammiversary 2025 “TNA’s greatest achievement,” and it’s easy to see why. The event sold out floor seats and broke attendance records, proving TNA’s growing popularity. With a stacked match card, surprise appearances, and emotional moments, the show delivered everything wrestling fans love.
Main Event: Trick Williams Defends the TNA World Championship
The main event was a triple-threat match for the TNA World Championship, featuring Trick Williams defending his title against Joe Hendry and Mike Santana. Williams, a WWE NXT star, made history earlier this year by becoming the first WWE-contracted wrestler to win the TNA World Championship at NXT Battleground. His reign has been controversial, with Williams calling TNA “TrickNA” and promising to reshape the company in his image.
Joe Hendry, a fan favorite, was determined to win back the title he lost to Williams. Meanwhile, Mike Santana, wrestling in his hometown of New York, brought incredible energy and passion to the match. The crowd roared as all three stars clashed with powerful moves like powerbombs, clotheslines, and Santana’s signature Spin the Block. In a dramatic finish, Williams faked an injury to catch his opponents off guard and secured the win with a Trick Kick, retaining his championship. This match was a perfect mix of skill, strategy, and storytelling.
Title vs. Title: Jacy Jayne vs. Masha Slamovich
Another highlight was the winner-takes-all match between NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne and TNA Knockouts World Champion Masha Slamovich. This historic bout put both titles on the line, making it one of the most anticipated matches of the night. Jayne, backed by NXT’s Fatal Influence, faced a tough challenge from Slamovich, who had been a dominant champion in TNA.
The match was intense, with both women trading powerful strikes and high-risk moves. In a shocking moment, Jayne landed a massive right hook, stunning Slamovich and securing the pin. Jayne walked away as the new TNA Knockouts World Champion while keeping her NXT Women’s Championship, becoming a double champion. The crowd was stunned, and this victory marked a huge moment for the TNA-NXT partnership.
Leon Slater Makes History
One of the most exciting moments came when Leon Slater faced Moose for the TNA X Division Championship. Slater, a rising star known for his speed and high-flying style, earned his title shot after pinning Moose in an eight-man tag team match at Against All Odds. The match was a classic David vs. Goliath story, with Moose’s power against Slater’s agility.
The action spilled outside the ring, with Slater pulling off incredible moves like a Code Red on the floor and a Swanton 450. Despite Moose’s devastating spears, Slater’s determination paid off. He hit a second Swanton 450 to win the title, becoming the youngest X Division Champion in TNA history. The crowd erupted, and in a heartwarming moment, Moose showed respect by placing the title belt around Slater’s waist. Then, in a massive surprise, TNA legend AJ Styles appeared to congratulate Slater, making the moment even more special.
The Hardys Climb to Glory
The TNA World Tag Team Championship match was a thrilling four-way ladder match featuring The Nemeths (Nic and Ryan Nemeth), The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy), The Rascalz (Myron Reed and Zachary Wentz), and Fir$t Cla$$ (A.J. Francis and KC Navarro). With the titles hanging above the ring, the teams battled with ladders, high-flying dives, and jaw-dropping stunts.
The Hardys, known for their legendary ladder match history, proved they still have it. Jeff Hardy’s fearless climbs and Matt’s strategic teamwork led them to victory, grabbing the titles to become the new TNA World Tag Team Champions. The crowd went wild as The Hardys celebrated, adding another chapter to their iconic career.
Other Memorable Matches
The night was packed with action. The Elegance Brand (Ash and Heather By Elegance) defended their TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championships against The IInspiration (Cassie Lee and Jessie McKay) on the pre-show. With outside interference and a clever use of a torch, The Elegance Brand retained their titles.
In a personal grudge match, Indi Hartwell defeated Tessa Blanchard after a brutal back-and-forth battle. However, Blanchard’s actions earlier in the night, including an attack on announcer Gia Miller, led to her indefinite suspension by TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella.
Mustafa Ali faced Cedric Alexander in a technical masterpiece, with Ali picking up the win after a 450 splash. The eight-man tag team match saw Matt Cardona and The System take on Darkstate, with Cardona’s team coming out on top. These matches added to the night’s excitement, showcasing TNA’s diverse roster.
