Before the next match, Joe Hendry says they are in the same city where he lost the Digital Media Championship, and while the opportunity to win it back has fallen in his lap at the last minute, he is more than qualified due to being the longest-reigning Digital Media Champion in history and being "an expert on Steves." He says that Crazzy Steve was not always so crazy, and that when he was an infant, he was known as "Baby Steve," grew up to be an unruly teenager named "Lazy Steve" before growing up to be "80s Steve." As this goes on, we see appropriate pictures with Crazzy Steve's head pasted onto the body. He then says tonight is about "We Believe" and that everybody believes in Joe Hendry. Before he can finish, he is interrupted by AJ Francis, who guests on commentary for the next match.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Steve Maclin and The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz). Trey says that the plan does not change, but as he says that the three of them will show up together, Maclin says he will not be at ringside for The Rascalz' match as he has full faith in them to win tonight. Wentz, who is taken aback, says that is fine and that they will not be out there for his match either, then he and Trey leave. Maclin says he hopes "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth enjoyed his vacation in Puerto Rico and his hiatus in Japan, then gave him his chance to stay away from TNA and did not change it. Maclin says that Nemeth does not belong in TNA while he is there.
Speedball Mountain ("Speedball" Mike Bailey and Trent Seven) beat The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) during the countdown. During the match, the referee goes down after Zachary Wentz kicks out of a pinfall attempt, and that allows Trey Miguel to spray Mike Bailey in the face with spraypaint. Not long after, as the referee checks on Trent Seven, Trey tries to spray Bailey in the face again, but Bailey ducks and inadvertently sprays Wentz in the face instead, eventually giving Speedball Mountain the win.
"The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth beats Steve Maclin.
Backstage, Gia Miller interviews The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose). Myers says that after tonight, ABC ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and Chris Bey) will be "ABC-Dead." Eddie says that they will be adding a little more gold to their collection because The System works. Moose says he looks at Eric Young as a legend in TNA, and despite being in his hometown, he will force Eric Young to pass the torch as they leave Sacrifice as champions.

Before the next match, Kon takes the microphone from the timekeeper, then grabs the timekeeper and throws him across the floor with a Biel Toss. Kon says he is the baddest man in TNA, then says PCO walks around calling himself "The Monster" when he is really the monster before calling him out.
PCO beats Kon in a no-disqualification match.
Backstage, we hear from AJ Francis. AJ Francis says there is no doubt that the fans believe in Joe Hendry, but they also used to believe in Santa Claus, the tooth fairy and the Easter bunny and it did not make them any more real. He says that he is real, and his real objective in TNA is to ensure that Joe Hendry never sees the level of success that he has previously seen in TNA again. Joe Hendry says that if AJ Francis wanted his attention, all he had to do was say his name, but thanks to him, he is not a two-time Digital Media Champion. He says that Francis does an awful lot of talking, but has had only one match in the time that he has been here, and he lost it. Francis blames Deaner for the loss, but Hendry says they can take Deaner out of the equation so they can settle this, as Francis has pushed him too far. Francis shoves Hendry, and security - who is already in place after Hendry's entrance into the room - moves quickly into place before Director of Authority Santino Marella declares that both of them will have a match next Thursday and that there will be no violence until then.
Jody Threat and Dani Luna - now known as "Spitfire" - beat MK Ultra (Masha Slamovich and Killer Kelly) to win the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championships after Dani Luna pulls Killer Kelly out of the ring to stop an MK Ultra double team, allowing Jody Threat to pin Masha Slamovich with a schoolkid pin to win the match - and the titles - out of nowhere. Masha shoves Kelly away before heading to the back after the match.
Hammerstone beats "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander. During the match, Hammerstone inadvertently takes out the referee after crushing him in the corne. When Alexander puts him in the ankle lock, Hammerstone taps out, but the referee is still out. Hammerstone kicks Alexander in the groin before hitting the Nightmare Pendulum for the win. After the match, Hammerstone claims Alexander's headgear as a prize.
Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Time Machine (Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, KUSHIDA). KUSHIDA says that Alex Shelley is angry with him, but he refuses to apologize, as he made the right decision at No Surrender. Sabin says difficult decisions need to be made, and while brothers argue, brothers are still brothers, and that they will use their powers combined to create some special pro wrestling and come out victorious. When asked if he feels the same way, Shelley just says "Yep," and walks off.
Mustafa Ali and The Grizzled Young Vets (Zack Gibson and James Drake) beat Time Machine (Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, KUSHIDA) after Chris Sabin inadvertently boots Sabin in the face with a running kick to the corner. The Good Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch) try to interfere near the end of the match.
Before the next match, George Iceman introduces Ash By Elegance, who watches the next match (and drinks champagne) from ringside.
Jordynne Grace retains the TNA Knockouts World Championship against Xia Brookside and Tasha Steelz. During the match, Xia Brookside reverses an Irish Whip from Tasha into one of her own and throws Tasha steelz into Ash By Elegance, who demands that her personal concierge George Iceman get her out of dodge, which he does.
Moose retains the TNA World Heavyweight Championship against Eric Young. During the match, Eric Young takes out Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers with a tope suicida, and when Eric Young hits the Canadian Destroyer off the top rope, Eddie and Myers pull the referee out of the ring. Eric Young tells the referee to toss Eddie and Myers out in order to win it the right way, and as the referee does this, Eric Young is suddenly choked out from behind with a camera cable by a masked Frankie Kazarian, who then runs off. Moose then hits Eric Young with the Spear to retain.
Here are the highlights from tonight's show!
