No DQ Stipulation Added To IMPACT Wrestling Slammiversary Main Event
Sami Callihan and Kenny Omega will fight dirty at 17 July's Slammiversary pay-per-view.
Kenny Omega and Sami Callihan's IMPACT World Championship match will now be fought with no disqualifications.
This was made official by IMPACT management following the challenger posting a video to his social media on Tuesday evening, stating that this would be a dirty fight as opposed to a traditional five to seven star classic at the Tokyo Dome. Without the stipulation, says Callihan, the bout could easily end via nefarious means through Good Brothers interference.
Sami, a former World Champion himself, was officially confirmed to be challenging 'The Best Bout Machine' on the 17 June IMPACT broadcast, being reinstated to the roster in the process after being kayfabe fired by Don Callis days prior. A contract signing last Thursday saw 'The Draw' Powerbomb Omega through a table.
The match will mark Kenny's second defence of the IMPACT World Championship, following his successful venture against Moose at last month's Against All Odds special. Callihan, meanwhile, hasn't challenged for the title since he faced Rich Swann at November's Turning Point.
