Several Big Returns At IMPACT Slammiversary
Four major names made their IMPACT returns at last night's PPV.
While last night's Slammiversary PPV saw the shocking IMPACT Wrestling debuts of Jay White, Thunder Rosa and No Way Jose, the show also featured several familiar faces making their IMPACT returns.
In a move that many had speculated would happen, Chelsea Green was revealed to be Matt Cardona's mystery tag team partner for his match against Brian Myers and Tenille Dashwood. The real-life fiancé of Cardona, Green picked up the win here after laying out Myers with a Canadian Destroyer then hitting the Unprettier on Dashwood. As Laurel Van Ness, Chelsea Green competed for TNA/IMPACT between 2016 and 2018, becoming the Knockouts Champion during that time.
Next up, the FinJuice pairing of David Finlay and Juice Robinson returned to the company for an impromptu match against Madman Fulton and Mahabali Shera. After Fulton and Shera cut a promo moaning about being barred from ringside for the Ultimate X contest earlier in the night, Scott D'Amore brought out FinJuice. In a brief bout, FinJuice picked up the W in their first IMPACT appearance since losing the promotion's Tag Team Titles to Violent By Design this past May.
The third and final major return at Slammiversary saw Mickie James back in IMPACT. After Deonna Purrazzo had successfully retained the Knockouts Championship against Thunder Rosa, James came out to offer Purrazzo a spot on the upcoming NWA Empowerrr card. The Virtuoso would decline this offer and trash talk Mickie - who slapped Purrazzo and laid her out with the Mick Kick.
