AJ STYLES & MYSTERY PARTNER VS JEFF JARRETT & STING
AJ Styles defeated Jeff Jarrett last week to win the NWA World Heavyweight Title, with help from a surprising source....Vince Russo. After taking out Raven and Glenn Gilberti the last couple of weeks with a baseball bat, Russo crashed one of Jarrett's own guitars over his head to set up the win by Styles. Immediately following the match, Jarrett challenged Styles to a rematch, but Styles declined and said he had 30 days before he had to defend the belt against Jarrett. Jarrett countered with a challenge that Styles couldn't pass up. Jarrett told AJ to find a partner and to face Jarrett in a tag match on the Anniversary Show. Jarrett's partner is none other than the former NWA World Heavyweight Champion and former 6 time WCW World Heavyweight Champion STING.
STING is one of the top names in the wrestling business and will be making a rare appearance on the TNA Anniversary Show on June 18. One of the most beloved performers in wrestling history, STING will be competing in his first televised match in the United States since his final appearance for WCW on the last episode of NITRO.
TRIPLE X (Champions) VS AMERICA'S MOST WANTED
NWA WORLD TAG TITLE MATCH
AMW won the rights to challenge Triple X by winning the Asylum Alliance Tournament with a win last week over David Young and Tracy. Chris Harris & James Storm were the hottest tag team in the business just a few months ago, but have had their problems of late. Those problems seem to be behind them and they have their minds set on recapturing the tag titles against Triple X. It won't be easy, though, since they have failed to get a win over Triple X in three previous attempts. Chris Daniels & Elix Skipper will have an insurance policy in the form of Low-Ki, the third member of Triple X. Low-Ki has been out of action with an injury, but will be at the Asylum this week to make sure things go Triple X's way.
CHRIS SABIN (Champion) VS PAUL LONDON
Paul London is the current number one contender for the X Title but has been unable to take advantage of his chance to challenge for the title because of commitments in Japan. Sabin doesn't appear to be anxious to face London, who like Sabin is a rising star in the wrestling business. Sabin, perhaps looking forward to the match with London, nearly lost his title last week to Shark Boy in what would have been a major upset.
JERRY LYNN VS JUSTIN CREDIBLE
This grudge match, between two former ECW Champions, has been building up for a few weeks starting with a disagreement in a tag match and exploding last week in an appearance in the "Interrogation" segment that ended in a wild pull apart brawl. Both men feel they have something to prove and both will be looking to get a win that will move them into title contention.
MIKE SANDERS VS NEW JACK
HARD 10 SEMIFINAL MATCH
On paper this looks like a total mismatch. The "Hard 10" tournament format would seem to play right into New Jack's hands. Afterall, you can't get much more hardcore than New Jack. Sanders has somehow survived the hardcore competition so far, and is hoping his luck hasn't run out. Hopefully the TNA trainer has added a staple remover to his medicine bag.
D-LO BROWN, SANDMAN, & FRANKIE KAZARIAN VS SONNY SIAKI, DAVID YOUNG, DON HARRIS
Frankie Kazarian says he's the "Future", and he was certainly impressive in his TNA debut a couple of weeks ago. This week he gets a chance to show that deserves a permanent spot on the TNA roster. He'll be teaming up with D-LO Brown and Sandman to take on three members of Sports Entertainment Xtreme.
Also on the show: BG James, Konnan & Truth have requested a sit down interview with Mike Tenay and Erik Watts will be out for revenge against Kid Kash.
ALL THIS WEDNESDAY ON PAY-PER-VIEW!!!!!
