Don Callis is now officially removed from his role as an executive in IMPACT Wrestling as Slammiversary begins to take shape. Here’s how it all went down:

Sami Callihan comes out and is irate that he’s fired. We go to break to build the suspense and back from it, Sami’s warding off security. Scott D’Amore comes out. He clears security. It’s just Scott and Sami. He’s with Sami. It was wrong and unfair. That’s why someone from the Anthem board is sending someone and word is they’re here right now. But Sami isn’t making a case for himself right now. Sami doesn’t like authority, but for once, he’ll do things Scott’s way. He hacks the IMPACT Zone and Sami vanishes. Don Callis says Sami proved his point. D’Amore questions that Don overstepped his bounds this past weekend. Don says maybe, but he did it for him. He reiterates what he said earlier about the wrestlers. He fired Sami because he meant nothing to him. Scott knows he did it for Kenny Omega. Out comes Tommy Dreamer. He’s not here to tell him so. Scott says Anthem is sending someone from the board, they don’t have time for this. Dreamer has been sent. He reinstated Sami Callihan. There’s something else. Someone does need to be fired. The board is going to make a change: effective immediately, Don Callis is fired from IMPACT Wrestling. He is no longer EVP. Don is irate and Tommy says there’s a trash bag waiting for him in the back.
