The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose) and JDC head to the ring to start tonight's show. Alisha says she is sick and tired of the fans for making fun of The System failing, then brags about still being one-half of the Knockouts Tag Team Champions and states that The System is the most dominant faction in wrestling and will all hold gold again. Eddie Edwards says that everyone else losing their championships was nothing more than a fluke, and that The System will do anything to get their titles back. Brian Myers says that nothing has changed and that The System is still the greatest faction in wrestling today, and that if the fans think otherwise, they are just delusional. JDC tells the fans to shut up before Moose states that while "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth may be World Champion, he will never be the face of the franchise, and when the time is right, he will take back what is rightfully his. Moose then addresses Mike Santana, saying that Santana has not looked at his resumé before threatening to take him out back and give him the Old Yeller treatment next week.

Alexander then says that Hendry is too busy right now and that he is a meme, not a professional wrestler, and that Hendry cannot lace his boots on his best day.
