TNA Slammiversary 2025 saw a record-breaking attendance with over 7,500 fans filling UBS Arena, marking the most successful live crowd in TNA history. Although fans hoped for Jayne to capture the Jordynne Grace Knockout Championship and for Williams to retain the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, many were disappointed by what they perceived as an “NXT” dominance over TNA during the event. Bully Ray, appearing on “Busted Open Radio” during Slammiversary, expressed his intent to face D-Von Dudley at Bound for Glory later this year. Despite the excitement, fans voiced frustration, especially when comparing Slammiversary’s endings to those of AEW, which took place just a week prior. Bully Ray acknowledged this sentiment, noting that while the main event saved the show for some, many were still unhappy with the overall finishes. The ongoing rivalry between Santana and Williams hints at an even bigger showdown in the future, promising more intense competition ahead.
Fan Take: This news highlights the growing competition between wrestling promotions, which is crucial for WWE fans as it pushes all brands to innovate and deliver higher-quality storytelling. The fan dissatisfaction at Slammiversary shows that wrestling audiences expect more compelling finishes, signaling a demand for creativity that could elevate the sport overall.
