Just two days before Slammiversary XVII, a title change took place at Impact Wrestling’s Bash at the Brewery live special.
The North (Josh Alexander & Ethan Page) defeated LAX (Santana & Ortiz) in San Antonio, Texas on Friday night to win the Impact Tag Team Championship. The finish of the match was Page hitting Santana with a title belt while the referee couldn’t see it, with Alexander then rolling up Santana to win the titles.
LAX had been scheduled to defend their titles against The Rascalz (Dezmond Xavier & Zachary Wentz) at Slammiversary. It will now be The North defending against LAX and The Rascalz in a triple threat match.
The Rascalz (Xavier, Wentz, and Trey Miguel) faced each other on Impact’s go-home show for Slammiversary. The stipulation was that it would decide which two would be in the title match at the pay-per-view, and Xavier and Wentz both pinned Miguel at the same time.
LAX’s contracts with Impact are set to expire later this summer. Dave Meltzer reported that there’s interest in them from both WWE and AEW.
Slammiversary is taking place at Gilley’s Dallas in Dallas, Texas tomorrow (Sunday, July 7).
