4 Ups & 2 Downs From Impact Wrestling (Dec 29)

1. The Day Our World Changed

The end of year awards continued this week, with the 2020 Moment of the Year being unveiled as the slew of debuts and returns at Slammiversary on 18 July. When you take a look at how much that night influenced the remainder of 2020, you can't really argue with the decision.

Returning to answer an open challenge from The Rascalz, The Motor City Machine Guns would go on to lift the World Tag Team Championships for a second time just three nights after the pay-per-view, with The Good Brothers also joining the doubles division, and reigning as the current champions. EC3's return at the conclusion of the night led him into a cinematic encounter with Moose at October's Bound For Glory pay-per-view, a match and rivalry - for the most part - that was passable, sadly. Heath, following his debut interaction with Rohit Raju, still hasn't signed his contract, owing to an injury sustained at Bound For Glory. As for Eric Young and Rich Swann, the story between them since 18 July speaks for itself; they were the defining rivalry of the year.

This, combined with some of the phenomenal action from the evening, is what helped make Slammiversary such a tantalising pay-per-view. A new era began for Impact Wrestling that evening, and look where it's led us - the AEW World Champion appearing on Impact programming. Impact's tagline for their summer event was 'Our World Will Change'.

It most certainly did.
