Slammiversary (2015)

The 2015 Slammiversary was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). It was live from Impact Zone, Orlando, Florida. It was the eleventh event under the Slammiversary chronology, and the first event in the 2015 TNA PPV schedule. This was the first Slammiversary pay-per-view to feature a King of the Mountain match since Slammiversary 2009. It was also the first King of the Mountain match in which the winner will be crowned the TNA King of the Mountain Champion.[unreliable source]

In October 2017, with the launch of the Global Wrestling Network, the event became available to stream on demand.

Slammiversary followed four straight days of TNA taping future episodes of Impact Wrestling. Due to the episodes set to air after the PPV, the live Slammiversary featured Taryn Terrell as the TNA Knockouts Champion even though she had already lost the title and Ethan Carter III being billed as the number one contender to the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, despite already having won the title. In addition, Austin Aries and Davey Richards wrestled for the right to choose a stipulation for a match that had already occurred.

Slammiversary featured professional wrestling matches involving different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.

On the April 24 edition of Impact Wrestling, Magnus and Mickie James both came down to the ring to announce Mickie's retirement from professional wrestling to focus on raising their son, but were interrupted by James Storm, who managed to convince her not to. Magnus was later approached backstage by Davey Richards, who warned Magnus to not trust Storm, after which Magnus asked a member of the camera crew to follow Mickie around to keep an eye on her. After consulting the footage the crew gathered, Magnus confronted Storm and warned him to stay out of his and Mickie's business. On the May 15 edition of Impact Wrestling, the two would have another confrontation where Storm would provoke Magnus into attacking him with a guitar, officially igniting their feud. The following week, Magnus called out Storm for a fight, only to instead be met by former rival and Storm's The Revolution teammate Abyss, and eventually the rest of The Revolution members Manik and Khoya, later that night Storm confronted them and told them that this is between him and Mickie James and they have nothing to do with them. On the June 3 edition of Impact Wrestling, James Storm met Mickie in Nashville, Tennessee, where Storm would push Mickie down onto train tracks. Storm afterwards called Magnus with Mickie's phone, warning him that he is coming. On June 17, Magnus would charge into the Impact Zone and say that he's halting the show and that he would not leave until Storm showed up. After security emerged, Storm would show up and talk about Magnus and his family, which caused Magnus to try desperately to reach Storm, but security repeatedly stood in his way until Magnus fought them off. When Magnus charged toward Storm, Storm kicked a stroller off the stage. Magnus panicked believing that inside the stroller was his son, but found out that the "baby" was only a doll.

On June 16, TNA announced on their website that for the first time in six years, the King of the Mountain match would return at Slammiversary. On the June 24 live edition of Impact Wrestling, Jeff Jarrett, alongside Karen Jarrett, made a surprise return and announced his participation in the match. On June 25 TNA announced on their website the four competitors that would join Jarrett in the King of the Mountain match: Matt Hardy, Eric Young, Drew Galloway and Bobby Roode, with the prize being the newly reactivated and renamed TNA King of the Mountain Championship.

On April 17, after losing a tag team match to the Dirty Heels, Jessie Godderz and Robbie E got into a brawl, disbanding The BroMans and turning Robbie E face. On May 15, after Robbie E defeated Godderz three times in the same night, Godderz hit Robbie E with a microphone, and afterwards Godderz placed a chair around Robbie E's neck and slammed it into one of the ring posts. On June 17, Godderz would defeat DJ Z via submission, Robbie E would come out after the match and attack Godderz. On June 18, TNA announced that Godderz would face Robbie E at Slammiversary.

On June 22, it was announced on Facebook by TNA that The Dollhouse (Taryn Terrell, Jade and Marti Bell) would face Brooke and Awesome Kong in a 3-on-2 Handicap match at Slammiversary.
