The Boston Herald has an article about this Sunday's Slammiversary pay-per-view at Boston University's Agganis Arena with quotes from Christopher Daniels, Sting and TNA World Heavyweight Champion Bully Ray, who said that TNA is the "best wrestling product out there."

"We have some of the greatest veterans of pro wrestling and some of the greatest modern-day wrestlers," said Bully. "There's great in-ring action, great talkers, great brawlers and hot girls. Anything that you want in pro wrestling, you can find in TNA."

Sting discussed his match with Bully this Sunday, and admitted that it was hard to walk away from the ring.

"There is a large wrestling audience that doesn't want to say goodbye to my generation — guys like myself and Hogan — and still appreciates us," Sting said. "It's the same for me. It's hard to walk away. I want to give Boston something to remember."

Posting his first Twitter message since March 28 (and second of 2013), Sting posted this cryptic statement hours before his scheduled appearance on Impact Wrestling tonight: "Sunday I was left to fight alone... Message received!"

This is in reference to his loss to Bully Ray this past Sunday in a No Holds Barred Match for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at Slammiversary, where no TNA wrestler attempted to combat substantial interference from Aces and Eights. Per match stipulation, Sting will never be allowed to have another shot at the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.

While approaching the ring, the "Phenomenal One" was heckled by a fan, and brought a steel chair towards him and asked him to come over the barricade. After exchanging heated words, Styles briefly went back into the ring, only to exit and continue dealing with the upset fan. According to the report, AJ walked towards the exit of the building and challenged the fan to step outside, but he backed down from the fight.

Styles would then go on to defeat Bobby Roode using his new Calf Killer submission hold.
