Slammiversary will air live around the world on pay-per-view with every TNA championship on the line. Then, on Sunday, July 21, the TNA television trucks roll into Montreal to capture all the in-ring action for upcoming episodes of the company’s flagship weekly TV show that airs at 8pm ET every Thursday (AXS TV in the U.S., Fight Network in Canada).
Tickets for both Montreal shows go on-sale Saturday, May 25, at 10 a.m. EST at TNAWrestling.com.
TNA Wrestling will bring all the superstars to Montreal, led by hometown heroes PCO Pierre-Carl Ouellet and “Speedball” Mike Bailey. Also wrestling in Montreal: reigning World Champion Moose, Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace and X Division Champion Mustafa Ali.
In addition, the Montreal shows will feature Matt Hardy, Nic Nemeth, Mike Santana, Ash By Elegance, Josh Alexander, Brian Myers, Santino Marella, Steph De Lander, and many more.
Matches for the Montreal shows at the legendary Verdun Auditorium – home of Lutte Grand Prix in the 1970s, where local fans witnessed the exploits of Mad Dog Vachon, Andre The Giant and Edouard Carpentier – will be announced in the coming weeks.

Proud resident of St-Jean-sur-Richelieu Quebec, Canada, Pierre-Carl Ouellet first reached worldwide success as a three-time World Tag Team Champion with Jacques Rougeau as The Quebecers before morphing into The Amazing French Canadians in World Championship Wrestling (WCW). Now known as Perfect Creation One, PCO is a fearless monster who was the World Heavyweight Champion a few years ago. Slammiversary will be PCO’s first match in Montreal since 2019.
