forming an alliance. On the May 20 episode of Impact!, Shane attacked Daniels and demanded a championship match; then Sabin attacked Shane, resulting in a brawl between the three wrestlers which was broken up by security. The following week on Impact!, Sabin made an alliance with Trinity and Daniels versus Sabin and versus Shane for the title was promoted for Slammiversary. A storyline heading into Slammiversary revolved around the recent losing streak and declension of America's Most Wanted (Chris Harris and James Storm; AMW) in the 3Live Kru (B.G.
