Sami Callihan is heading to Slammiversary 2021, where he will face the winner of the IMPACT Wrestling Championship match between Kenny Omega and Moose at Against All Odds 2021 this Saturday.

On this week's IMPACT Wrestling, AEW President Tony Khan showed up to discuss the possibility of making the match at Against All Odds, a three-way bout between Omega, Moose, and Callihan.

The two IMPACT Wrestling EVPs, Scott D'Amore and Don Callis, were at loggerheads, as the former wanted Callihan to feature in the match, while the latter insisted on not giving him a shot.

Callis, who's also Omega's advocate, brought up Sami Callihan's violent nature and successfully talked his way through with Tony Khan to keep Callihan away from the June 12th event.

However, D'Amore walked away with the last laugh as he announced that the winner of Against All Odds would defend the IMPACT Wrestling Championship against Sami Callihan at Slammiversary 2021.

Having whispered the idea earlier in Tony Khan's ear, the AEW President also seemingly agreed to the proposal, much to the dismay of Callis. Plus, D'Amore also revealed that Omega and Moose will square off at Daily's Place, AEW's home base, this Saturday.
