“A returning Santino Marella praised new Knockouts Champion, Léi Ying Lee, and also announced that Indi Hartwell has re-signed with the company.

Hartwell signed with TNA in April 2025 after showing up at Rebellion. While she hasn’t won a title since being with the promotion, she was the number-one contender for the Knockouts title last fall. She also had a very well received dog collar match with Dani Luna to end their feud. Outside of TNA, she held Women’s Championships for House of Glory, Reality of Wrestling, and Awesome Championship Wrestling.”

⭐ X‑Division Chaos

“Slammiversary 2026 will mark the 55th time that an Ultimate X match has taken place since its introduction in 2003. The match was last used at the 2025 Rebellion pay-per-view in April of last year, with Moose successfully retaining his TNA X-Division Championship in a match that also featured Matt Cardona, El Hijo del Vikingo, KC Navarro, Sidney Akeem, and the aforementioned Leon Slater. Alexander will be hoping that he has the same fortune as Moose last year as he has never been in an Ultimate X match before, let alone defended a title in the match. However, Moose was in the same situation last year and managed to get the job done. Regardless of who enters the match, no one is near the record for most Ultimate X matches that is currently held by Chris Sabin with 15.”

⭐ Chris Caray Joins TNA Wrestling Broadcast Team For Sacramento Street Fight On Thursday, May 14, Live on AMC

“The Caray name is legendary in Major League Baseball, starting with Harry, who called games from 1945-1997, ending his iconic career with the Chicago Cubs, where his signature style included the “Holy cow!” home-run call and leading fans in singing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” during the seventh-inning stretch.

Harry’s son, Skip Caray, followed him into the booth as a baseball broadcaster with the Atlanta Braves. Then grandson Chip Caray replaced Harry as the Cubs’ play-by-play announcer from 1998 to 2004. Chip later returned to work with his father Skip on Atlanta Braves broadcasts.

In 2022, Chip’s twin sons, Chris and Stefan, became minor league baseball broadcasters at age 22, Chris now calls action for the Athletics and Stefan sits in the St. Louis Cardinals TV broadcast booth.

“I am a longtime pro wrestling fan,” Chris Caray said. “One TNA Wrestling star who I really admire is, Nic Nemeth. He’s often under-rated. Watching him perform in the ring, he really is amazing.”

Caray said that he is “intrigued” by The System, the TNA faction of Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, Cedric Alexander and Bear Bronson. He added that the TNA Knockouts Division is “really, really good; they are so strong, athletic and versatile; they really can do it all in the ring.”

Caray praised Elayna Black and Indi Hartwell, adding, “how can you not like Indi in the ring?!”“
