Powell’s POV: The six-person tag match was announced for the pre-show since our last update. Steve Maclin was originally scheduled to team with Bully Ray, but he was pulled from the show due to an injury suffered on the company’s tour of Australia. Deaner was announced as his replacement on Monday.
Slammiversary will be available via pay-per-view television and FITE.TV. The listed price on DirecTV is $39.95 while FITE TV is charging $39.99.

John’s same night audio review will be available exclusively for Dot Net Members (including our Patreon patrons).
Your thoughts on who the replacement for PCO might be? According to the graphic, D’Amore’s partner is just a silhouette at the moment. Me, if he wasn’t signed with the WWE (& not being used one iota) it could be Eric Young. Although I don’t know how to explain away how he’s back to life.
My other choice would be Jake Something. At least he’s easier to explain. As Cousin Jake, he broke from Deaner & they weren’t family anymore.Besides, Jake has a lot more upside at this point in his career than EY. Jake could still be a main player for Impact, in my opinion.
I’d be interested in your ideas. Thanks, Jason.
I suspect it’s just an angle and that PCO will “return from the dead” again. It’s kinda silly, but it’s what his character does.
