Moose says JDC - who is standing next to him - has been pulling his weight and has been impressing him, and as for tonight's match, he tells Steve Maclin to stay out of his way as he takes on two other men who do not impress him, so that Maclin too will learn to trust The System.

We hear from Charlie Dempsey and Myles Borne. Dempsey says that he was not coming alone and remembered to bring back-up.

She says that she is heading back home to Australia to resolve some loose ends, and asks PCO if he will wait for her.

Before the next match, AJ Francis declares himself the greatest TNA Digital Media Championship of all time and the longest-reigning Canadian International Wrestling Champion of the modern era. He says that he is a benevolent champion, and that Rhino will be as extinct as the Phillies' chance of winning the World Series when he is done. Francis and Rhino go at it, but Rhino is attacked by Rich Swann, which ends the match as soon as it starts. After the match, Fir$t Cla$$ (Francis and Swann) continue to attack Rhino, then Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up and restarts the match as a Philadelphia Street Fight.

The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) return next week!

Before the next match, Joe Hendry makes fun of "Dancin' Moose" and Steve Maclin, saying all Maclin wants to talk about is tagging and bagging. He then says that all Maclin will be bagging after tonight's match is his groceries while the fans chant "We Believe." Soon after Hendry speaks, Frankie Kazarian shows up and guests on commentary for the next match.
