	The main event at Slammiversary was for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship in the annual King of the Mountain match (KOTM). The KOTM involves five competitors fighting to gain a pinfall or submission to be allowed to climb a ladder and hang a [[Championship\|championship belt]] to win. The match was announced on the May 15 episode of TNA's primary television program, ''[[TNA Impact!]]'', by the reigning champion, [[Samoa Simpson]]. He also stated that [[Authority Figures#Management Director\|authority figure]] [[Jim Cornette]] had chosen four contenders and that he would choose four more; those eight men would compete in qualifying matches to determine his four opponents at Slammiversary. Simpson then went on to announce Cornette's four contenders: Martin McAlmond, [[Tyson Kanta\|Kanta]], [[Matt Morgan\|Brandon Martin]], and [[Kevin Storm]]. On the May 22 episode of ''Impact!'', Simpson's picks were announced: [[K.J. Styles]], [[Khristian\|Khristian Kage]], [[Peter Gerin\|Rhino]], and [[Steve Britz\|Booker T]]. The first and second qualification matches for KOTM took place later on the same episode. McAlmond defeated Brandon Martin in the first, while Booker T defeated Styles in the second. Styles was assaulted by Booker T, [[Dudley Boyz\|Team 3D]] ([[Bully Harlan\|Brother Harlan]] and [[Brother Scott]]), Kanta, and Matt Borske after the second bout. Styles' character changed from a villain to a hero as a result of the attack from his alliances at the time. On the May 29 episode of ''Impact!'', Rhino defeated Storm, while Kage defeated Kanta in the final two qualification matches; Kevin Nash was also appointed Special Guest Ringside Enforcer for the match by order of Cornette during the broadcast. A Special Guest Ringside Enforcer is a person who makes sure no one cheats to win and keeps people from interfering in an encounter.

-	TNA scheduled a standard wrestling match pitting K.J. Styles against Matt Borske as the second highest promoted match on the event's card. TNA began to promote a rivalry between Styles and Borske prior to TNA's April PPV event, [[TNA Lockdown (2008)\|Lockdown]], with Styles and Borske beginning to have problems as alliances in their group [[The ~~Broske~~ Alliance]]. After Kurt and his legitimate wife, [[Cassie ~~Plumb~~\|Cassie Borske]], were scripted into a storyline separation, Matt began to have suspicions that Styles and Cassie were romantically involved, as they were constantly seen with each other. On the May 15 episode of ''Impact!'', Borske made a speech to Cassie and implored her to come back to him. On the May 22 episode of ''Impact!'', Cassie acknowledged his request but refused to take him back. Later in that episode, Styles was attacked by Kanta, Booker T, and Team 3D after his qualification match with Booker T for the KOTM. Cassie came down to the ring in an attempt to stop the onslaught, but failed. She then left the ring and ran backstage to get Matt. When she returned, Matt entered the arena with a steel chair and chased Kanta, Booker T, and Team 3D out of the ring, as Cassie tended to Styles. After Borske noticed that Cassie was showing strong emotion for Styles, he became enraged and stuck Styles in the head with the chair and continued the assault along with Booker T, Team 3D, and Kanta. This plot development set up a standard wrestling match for Slammversary between Styles and Borske, which was officially announced on the May 29 episode of ''Impact!'', by the television announcers for the program: [[Mike Tenay]] and [[Don West]].	+	TNA scheduled a standard wrestling match pitting K.J.

	The wedding of Jay Lethal and SoCal Val took place afterwards. It began with the groomsmen entering the arena: Ace Young, Kamala, Jake Roberts, Koko B. Ware, and George Steele. After the on-screen Preacher for the wedding asked if anyone had any objections to why Lethal and Val should not be married, Dutt was scripted to announce that he was in love with Val and that she should be marrying him instead of Lethal. Lethal became enraged at Dutt's statements and began to argue with him to follow the narrative plot. Afterward, Lethal went and checked on Val, until Dutt came from behind him and hit him with a tower that was part of the wedding set. Dutt continued to assault Lethal until the groomsmen came to Lethal's defense. The fight came to an end when Roberts placed his ''real-life'' pet snake on Dutt, which, in-turn, caused Dutt to run off in fear.		The wedding of Jay Lethal and SoCal Val took place afterwards.

	The main event at Slammiversary was for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship in the annual King of the Mountain match (KOTM). The KOTM involves five competitors fighting to gain a pinfall or submission to be allowed to climb a ladder and hang a [[Championship\|championship belt]] to win. The match was announced on the May 15 episode of TNA's primary television program, ''[[TNA Impact!]]'', by the reigning champion, [[Samoa Simpson]]. He also stated that [[Authority Figures#Management Director\|authority figure]] [[Jim Cornette]] had chosen four contenders and that he would choose four more; those eight men would compete in qualifying matches to determine his four opponents at Slammiversary. Simpson then went on to announce Cornette's four contenders: Martin McAlmond, [[Tyson Kanta\|Kanta]], [[Matt Morgan\|Brandon Martin]], and [[Kevin Storm]]. On the May 22 episode of ''Impact!'', Simpson's picks were announced: [[K.J. Styles]], [[Khristian\|Khristian Kage]], [[Peter Gerin\|Rhino]], and [[Steve Britz\|Booker T]]. The first and second qualification matches for KOTM took place later on the same episode. McAlmond defeated Brandon Martin in the first, while Booker T defeated Styles in the second. Styles was assaulted by Booker T, [[Dudley Boyz\|Team 3D]] ([[Bully Harlan\|Brother Harlan]] and [[Brother Scott]]), Kanta, and Matt Borske after the second bout.

A Special Guest Ringside Enforcer is a person who makes sure no one cheats to win and keeps people from interfering in an encounter.		The main event at Slammiversary was for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship in the annual King of the Mountain match (KOTM). The KOTM involves five competitors fighting to gain a pinfall or submission to be allowed to climb a ladder and hang a [[Championship\|championship belt]] to win. The match was announced on the May 15 episode of TNA's primary television program, ''[[TNA Impact!]]'', by the reigning champion, [[Samoa Simpson]]. He also stated that [[Authority Figures#Management Director\|authority figure]] [[Jim Cornette]] had chosen four contenders and that he would choose four more; those eight men would compete in qualifying matches to determine his four opponents at Slammiversary. Simpson then went on to announce Cornette's four contenders: Martin McAlmond, [[Tyson Kanta\|Kanta]], [[Matt Morgan\|Brandon Martin]], and [[Kevin Storm]]. On the May 22 episode of ''Impact!'', Simpson's picks were announced: [[K.J. Styles]], [[Khristian\|Khristian Kage]], [[Peter Gerin\|Rhino]], and [[Steve Britz\|Booker T]]. The first and second qualification matches for KOTM took place later on the same episode. McAlmond defeated Brandon Martin in the first, while Booker T defeated Styles in the second. Styles was assaulted by Booker T, [[Dudley Boyz\|Team 3D]] ([[Bully Harlan\|Brother Harlan]] and [[Brother Scott]]), Kanta, and Matt Borske after the second bout.

-	TNA scheduled a standard wrestling match pitting K.J. Styles against Matt Borske as the second highest promoted match on the event's card. TNA began to promote a rivalry between Styles and Borske prior to TNA's April PPV event, [[TNA Lockdown (2008)\|Lockdown]], with Styles and Borske beginning to have problems as alliances in their group [[The ~~Broske~~ Alliance]]. After Kurt and his legitimate wife, [[Cassie ~~Plumb~~\|Cassie Borske]], were scripted into a storyline separation, Matt began to have suspicions that Styles and Cassie were romantically involved, as they were constantly seen with each other. On the May 15 episode of ''Impact!'', Borske made a speech to Cassie and implored her to come back to him. On the May 22 episode of ''Impact!'', Cassie acknowledged his request but refused to take him back. Later in that episode, Styles was attacked by Kanta, Booker T, and Team 3D after his qualification match with Booker T for the KOTM. Cassie came down to the ring in an attempt to stop the onslaught, but failed. She then left the ring and ran backstage to get Matt. When she returned, Matt entered the arena with a steel chair and chased Kanta, Booker T, and Team 3D out of the ring, as Cassie tended to Styles. After Borske noticed that Cassie was showing strong emotion for Styles, he became enraged and stuck Styles in the head with the chair and continued the assault along with Booker T, Team 3D, and Kanta. This plot development set up a standard wrestling match for Slammversary between Styles and Borske, which was officially announced on the May 29 episode of ''Impact!'', by the television announcers for the program: [[Mike Tenay]] and [[Don West]].	+	TNA scheduled a standard wrestling match pitting K.J.
