TNA Wrestling pulled out all the stops for Slammiversary 2025, but it wasnt just the in-ring action that had fans staying up all night. After Trick Williams retained the TNA World Championship in a dramatic triple threat match against Joe Hendry and Mike Santana, the real madness beganat the merchandise tables.
Throughout the live pay-per-view at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, TNA promoted exclusive meet-and-greet sessions with several big names. Fans had the opportunity to snag photo ops and autographs with The IInspiration, Indi Hartwell, Mike Santana, Joe Hendry, and most notably, the Hardy Boyz. The response was overwhelming.
According to multiple attendees, the number of tickets sold for these post-show sessions was ridiculous. What started as a smart merchandise push turned into a late-night marathon. Its estimated that around 2,000 fans stuck around after the show just for the meet-and-greetsmost of them waiting to see the Hardyz. The line was described as INSANE, with fans staying well into the early morning hours to meet their heroes. One fan who stayed deep into the night shared their experience:
Despite the size of the crowd and the late hour, fans also praised TNA for keeping things organized and moving:
Slammiversary brought the action in the ring, but the nights biggest victory may have come at the merch table. TNA didnt just cash in on ticket salesthey cleaned up with an extra wave of revenue and fan engagement that lasted until nearly sunrise.
