TNA Impact turned up the intensity in Pittsburgh, and Joe Hendry’s road to redemption is now locked in.
The show opened with Hendry cutting an in-ring promo directed at TNA World Champion Trick Williams. That’s when Santino Marella came out to confront him with a key detail—Hendry had yet to activate his rematch clause. Marella made it official right then and there: Hendry will face Trick Williams for the TNA World Championship at Slammiversary, taking place Sunday, July 20, 2025, at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York.
The announcement sets the stage for a major showdown between two stars crossing paths from NXT and TNA in a rare inter-brand spotlight. Hendry’s rematch clause guarantees a chance to reclaim the title he lost, while Trick continues his rise as a dual-brand presence.
This isn’t the only marquee match for the show—Leon Slater is also set to challenge Moose for the TNA X-Division Championship at Slammiversary, adding even more stakes to the event.
With Slammiversary marking the company’s 21st anniversary, the pressure is on for Trick to prove his title win wasn’t a fluke—and for Hendry to show he still belongs at the top of the card.
