Heath Slater arrives in IMPACT Wrestling.
IMPACT promised recently released WWE superstars would show up at Slammiversary and they delivered with Heath Slater making a surprise appearance on the show. Slater, wearing a "Free Agent" shirt, jumped the guardrail and cut promo, saying he was ready to make an impact and would be coming after the IMPACT World Title.
Heath was confronted by Rohit Raju, who was taken out by Heath with a running Russian leg sweep.
Unfortunately, the segment was plagued with issues as the FITE TV feed went down just before Heath hit the ring and the microphones in the arena didn't provide good audio.

Later in the evening, Heath re-united with Rhino. The two were the first-ever SmackDown Tag Team Champions. The reunion was cut short as Scott D'Amore kicked Heath out of the build as he's still a free agent.
