TNA Slammiversary 2025 just got its opening match confirmed—and it’s a banger right out of the gate.
Ringside News has learned that the show will kick off with Cedric Alexander vs. Mustafa Ali in what promises to be a fast-paced, high-flying rematch years in the making.
Alexander and Ali have faced off before under the WWE banner, including a show-stealing bout at WrestleMania. Now, with both men free to go all out under the TNA spotlight, they’ll set the tone for the entire pay-per-view—and expectations are sky high.
While the full card is stacked with championship bouts and major returns, the decision to open with Alexander vs. Ali tells you everything you need to know about TNA’s approach tonight. They’re not easing fans into this one—they’re launching Slammiversary with a matchup that could easily main-event any other show.
With this matchup officially opening the event, fans will want to be locked in from the very start. There won’t be time to settle in slowly—Ali and Alexander are expected to tear the house down right away.
