Due to injury, Steve Maclin won't be able to compete at Impact Wrestling's Slammiversary pay-per-view.
Maclin was supposed to team with Bully Ray against PCO & Scott D'Amore in a grudge match at the Saturday, July 15 PPV. Impact announced today that Maclin won't be able to take part in the match due to a serious injury that he suffered on the promotion's Impact Down Under tour last week.
Maclin's replacement for the Slammiversary bout will be revealed on Busted Open Radio this Monday (July 10).

Former NHL player Darren McCarty will be the special enforcer for the tag match.
Last month, Maclin dropped the Impact World Championship to Alex Shelley. Shelley then retained against Maclin in a rematch on night one of the Impact Down Under tour. Maclin was supposed to face Frankie Kazarian on night two but was pulled from the match because of his injury.
“First and foremost, everyone at IMPACT Wrestling wishes Steve Maclin a full and speedy recovery,” Impact Wrestling's Santino Marella said. “Whoever Bully Ray brings aboard as his new tag team partner will step into a violent fight, that’s for sure. PCO is fearless and nearly unstoppable; Scott D’Amore is bent on revenge against Bully Ray, so any new partner for Bully Ray also will feel the wrath of D’Amore and his 30 years of pro wrestling knowledge.”
