[2] Slammiversary featured eight professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines.

Anderson then invited a man from Sting's past, Disco Inferno, to Impact Wrestling, and bloodied him with a microphone.

Anderson continued to taunt Sting's past by having Eric Young imitate The Great Muta to recreate and mock a classic match that the two once had.

However, the war of words continued between Styles and Bully Ray, and they decided to settle it in a Last Man Standing match at Slammiversary.

Love won the match by scoring a pinfall victory over James, earning a title shot at the PPV.

Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan decided to try to rid TNA of their legendary X Division to rebel against the overbearing "Network" aka Spike, who was overstepping their boundaries in terms of power.

Brian Kendrick decided to lead a rebellion against Bischoff and Hogan in the name of the X Division and demanded a match against Abyss.

Abyss then promised he wouldn't destroy the title, but keep it, due to the teachings of ancient Chinese war strategist Sun Tzu.

Robert Roode's shoulder injury at the hands of Immortal gave Eric Bischoff the right to strip Beer Money, Inc. of the TNA World Tag Team Championship.

However, Alex Shelley, whose partner Chris Sabin was injured at the hands of Mexican America, was given permission by The Network to defend the tag titles for Roode, along with James Storm, so Beer Money could keep the gold.

Gun Money lost the match when Alex Shelley inadvertently gave James Storm a superkick to the jaw.
