Bear Bronson says that he decimated Ricky Sosa last week, as Ricky Sosa is just a catchy song and a meme. After Bronson says that he is a killer compared to Ricky Sosa, Brian Myers says that people come and go from TNA, but the dominance of The System will remain constant because they are the gatekeepers of TNA. Cedric Alexander says that one must go through The System to see success and that the list of survivors is very short, and that "the champ is right here." Eddie says that The System is not a faction; they are TNA's quality control, and they decide who is real and ready and who truly belongs in their ring. He then mentions Alisha's match with Jada Stone in the TNA Knockouts Television Championship Tournament. He says that this is an opportunity for The System to acquire more hardware, and says that Jada Stone will end up beaten and embarrassed in what could be her last match in a TNA ring like they did to Ricky Sosa. Suddenly, Ricky Sosa shows up. Ricky Sosa says that Bear Bronson may have beaten him last week, but he cannot be kept down, and that Bronson only won because he had Brian Myers on his side. Eddie says that by turning down joining The System, he turned down them having his back.

Fletcher hopes that Knight becomes a double champion, then says he does not need the help of the family to defend his title, either. He then says he will prove it by talking to Tony Khan and ensuring everyone is banned from ringside in his match with Bandido on Sunday.

Willow says it is nice to see Thekla face-to-face as opposed to being hit from behind with a cheap shot, and Thekla says that Willow's positivity is a facade and that she is "poisoned inside." Thekla says that she will beat the poison out of Willow and expose how ugly she really is, but Willow says that Thekla's toxicity is a facade and that Thekla talks big because she feels so small. Willow says that Thekla's swagger has made her a double champion, but the AEW World Women's Championship is all she cares about and that Thekla is a shortcut for her to get to it. Mick Foley admits that he sees himself in Willow, and Thekla tells Mick Foley to shut up before Willow tells her that she is "acting like a dumb bitch now" before acknowledges the similarities between her and Mick Foley. She says that she is capable of doing sick and twisted things to become champion and that she will make sure she walks out of Redemption as champion. Thekla is impressed, and tells Willow to smile anyway once she has her beaten before hitting her with one of her gloves.

Rollins heads to the ring and wants to know if they are talking or fighting, and Solo says he is here to talk and not to fight. He knows that Rollins is focused on Roman Reigns, then says it is not just Rollins against Reigns, but the whole Bloodline (Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, "Main Event" Jey Uso, Jacob Fatu). He says he knows what they are going to do because he was a part of it and that they are going to make sure he does not win against Roman Reigns, then says it does not have to be like that and that he can watch Rollins' back at SummerSlam.

If the idea for a name clears, it will belong to WWE forever. Nathan has already come up with an idea, and already has it on a pair of trunks as well as in his car. Nathan still has misgivings however, and feels this could be either a really good idea or a really big mistake.

Matt Bloom meets with Nattie, Booker T and Bubba Ray Dudley. Booker T gets Harley Riggins, who is still new to singles matches, vs. Tate Wilder, who needs to work further on the basics.

Bubba Ray Dudley gets Nathan Cranton, who Bloom wants to continue to work on being a heel, vs. Jaime Garcia, who Bloom feels needs to learn how to sell.

Riggins has a ton of ideas for being the heel in his match, but Booker T says they only have seven minutes and that Riggins has to look grimy as well as good.

Matt Bloom notes that learning to wrestle and learning to stay in shape is a learning experience.

Bubba Ray Dudley meets with Nathan Cranton and Jaime Garcia. Garcia notes that his last match was not good, and Bubba Ray tells him to live in the moment.
