With PCW making it's return, it was known that Slamathon III would be one of the events taking place for the newly revived company. On May 12th, 2012, PCW General Manager James Baker announced that Michael Morrison would defend the PCW World Heavyweight Championship against Leon Lonewolf. The second match set in stone for the event was Draven Logan Kennedy defending his PCW Platinum Championship against Liam Reilly, although Liam was determined the challenger when he defeated Johnny Scumm and Ricky Runn in a 3 way match.
