Slammiversary 10 was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) promotion, which took place on June 10, 2012 at the College Park Center in Arlington, Texas on the University of Texas at Arlington campus.[2] It was the eighth Pay-Per-View under the Slammiversary chronology, the sixth event in the 2012 TNA PPV schedule, and the company's largest domestically attended PPV at the time. TNA's Lockdown 2013 event drew a larger crowd since.[3]

With TNA having their origins date back to June 2002, the company commemorated and celebrated their 10th anniversary. During the event, history was made as TNA General Manager and wrestling household name Hulk Hogan hosted parts of the show, a special appearance by WWE contracted wrestler and former TNA wrestler, Christian Cage, who was the WWE Intercontinental Champion at the time, had him announce the #1 moment in the history of the company,[3][4] and most prominently, however, Sting was announced as the first inductee into the newly created TNA Hall of Fame.[3] This would also mark Christian's last appearance in TNA until August 2021, after he won the Impact World Championship, the title that was formerly called the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, on the debut edition of All Elite Wrestling's show Rampage from previous champion Kenny Omega.

Nine professional wrestling matches took place at the event and were broadcast live on pay-per-view. The main event saw TNA World Heavyweight Champion Bobby Roode successfully defend his title against Sting. The undercard also featured acclaimed matches such as A.J Styles and Kurt Angle defeating Kazarian and Christopher Daniels for the TNA World Tag Team Championship, Mr. Anderson defeating Rob Van Dam and Jeff Hardy in a TNA World Title Contender's match, and Austin Aries retaining the TNA X Division Championship by defeating Samoa Joe.

In October 2017, with the launch of the Global Wrestling Network, the event became available to stream on demand.[5]
