Impact Announces Additional Tag Match For "Slammiversary," New & Updated Card
Tonight on Impact Wrestling, it was announced that Brian Myers and Tenille Dashwood will join forces to face Matt Cardona and a partner of his choosing in a tag team match at Slammiversary this Saturday.
This match came to be after Myers and Cardona got into it during tonight's segment, where Myers officially called Jake Something a "professional" after Something won their scheduled match and demanded to be called that if he won the match, which he did.
Just as Myers poked fun at Something, who brought Cardona alongside with him, Myers and his new protege Sam Beale laid a beatdown on them, which left an opening for Tenille Dashwood to sneak into the ring and low-blow Cardona. Myers spoke to Dashwood, who was once romantically involved with Cardona, earlier in the show and asked for her assistance ahead of his in-ring segment.
Following the brutal encounter, the Executive Vice President of Impact, Scott D'Amore, informed Cardona backstage that he's allowed to settle this debacle on Saturday with a partner of his choosing. As D'Amore was leaving, he did mention once again that Slammiversary will be a "hot mess," indicating that Laurel Van Ness (aka Chelsea Green), a former TNA/Impact Knockouts Champion, and Cardona's real-life fiance, might just be his partner on Saturday.
Myers and Cardona have had their fair share of clashings as of late. Both men squared off at Rebellion this past April, where Myers picked up the pinfall victory, and most recently, on Impact's flagship show on May 20. Cardona was attacked by Myers, which led to a fractured orbital bone injury that kept him on the shelf for 12 weeks.
Now that he's cleared and in good fighting spirits, we'll find out who Cardona picks as his partner for this mixed tag team matchup.
