Backstage, Gia Miller interviews "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander and Sinner and Saint (Judas Icarus and Travis Williams). Alexander says Steve Maclin and Eric Young would not have had what happened if they stayed out of his business, and says they got in his business just to be relevant again. He says that they have done anything noteworthy of late and that they are the past while he looks to the future, which is why he recruited Sinner and Saint, as they have a killer instinct that Young and Maclin do not have and they are the future. Alexander says that the three of them - "The Northern Armory" - will wipe the floor with the TNA locker room.
"The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth heads to the ring. Nemeth says he is feeling good tonight because he loves being the TNA World Champion, and due to recent events, he knows that the main event of Bound For Glory is his title defense against Joe Hendry. Due to Nemeth saying his name, Hendry shows up, then says that this match is not another viral song release or post, but an eleven-year journey to become a world champion, and he gets to face a champion like Nic Nemeth. He says that Nemeth has been champion everywhere he goes, and calls him one of the best to ever lace up a pair of boots, then says that the fans are chanting "We Believe." Nemeth says a lot of people believe in Joe Hendry, who he says has done it the right way, and appreciates the kind words. He says that even Shawn Michaels believes in Hendry, and says that while legends believe in Hendry, John Layfield believes in Ziggler. When Hendry asks how John Layfield will figure into their match, Nemeth says he should worry more about him than Layfield, as he does not plan on losing the World Championship any time soon. Suddenly, Fir$t Cla$$ (AJ Francis and KC Navarro) shows up, and AJ Francis says he and KC Navarro are confused, as they are the event of Bound For Glory, as they are nothing but money. He then says that all the fans in "Trashville, Tennessee" are "country bumpkins," but they still made the show and that he made Joe Hendry, as Joe was "a C+ player" "on the pre-show" before he showed up. After telling the fans to shut up and says that they believe barbeque sauce is toothpaste, he says the fans only started believing when Hendry sang his songs about him. Hendry plays dumb at first before mentioning the songs targeting AJ Francis. AJ Francis says he expected this from Hendry, then says he was here to talk to Nemeth, who he used to have respect for, and states that whatever the event is, Fir$t Cla$$ is always "the perpetual main event." AJ Francis says he expected this from Hendry, then says he was here to talk to Nemeth, who he used to have respect for, and states that whatever the event is, Fir$t Cla$$ is always "the perpetual main event." Nemeth says that he is famously a nice guy and respects what Fir$t Cla$$ has done, and if he could find somebody who could be a tag team partner of his, he would love to prove it to him. Hendry volunteers as only he can, then Director of Authority Santino Marella arrives. Santino likes the idea of a tag team match between both parties and makes it official for tonight.
Backstage, Ash by Elegance and personal concierge George Iceman find out that they have to give Heather Reckless an extreme makeover, and after initially being horrified over what they have to work with, they soon become a lot more enthusiastic.
"The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander beats Eric Young following distractions and interference by Sinner and Saint (Judas Icarus and Travis Williams), which allows Alexander to win with a jackknife pin. After the match, Young attacks Alexander, then fights The Northern Armory (Alexander, Icarus, Williams) only for the numbers game to take over. We then find out that Steve Maclin has been attacked and has had his hands ziptied behind his back backstage as officials look for medical help. Alexander then gets a metal folding chair, wraps it around Eric Young, and Pillmanizes Eric Young with a knee drop from the rope while Icarus and Williams hold Eric Young down.
Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Jordynne Grace as she looks for Masha Slamovich backstage. They both soon find a red-lit room with photos of the women's division crossed out, and the only photo not crossed out is Jordynne's.
Mike Santana heads to the ring. Santana addresses Moose as he says he is sick and tired of having to deliver his message to a camera every week, for where he comes from, people meet face-to-face and put their hands to work just like when he stormed into The System's locker room. He says that he did not expect to come out of that the same, and that he does what he does with intent and purpose, and he wants Moose to know that just when he thinks he is safe, he will come for him at ever angle and turn his world upside-down. Santana then proclaims that when he cost him his purpose of going to Slammiversary for the World title, all he did was create a new purpose: make The System's lives a living hell. Santana then calls Moose out, and Moose shows up and says that after what Santana pulled, he got the best security money could buy in Nashville, Tennessee. He then brings out a few security guards to stand between him and the ring. Moose says that Santana only thinks he is a tough guy and that he is "nothing but a dumbass." Santana tells Moose that he sounds ridiculous due to his sneak attacks, and says Moose is nothing more than "a baby boy bitch." He also says he can smell Moose's fear from the ring and that Moose has every right to fear him, because at one point, he was him, and they have both witnessed the same struggles and had to create something from nothing. Santana says the only difference is that he still walks the same blocks with the same people he grew up, and that he paid the price to get to where he is now, while Moose has forgotten who he is and where he came from. He then dares Moose to get in the ring with him without the security and prove he is the face of the franchise. Moose says he forgot where he came from, and since Santana has been gone, he became a three-time world champion and he did it on his own. Moose says he could beat up Santana right now, then says that when you are good at something, you do not do it for free. He says he is a prizefighter, and if he is going to pick a fight with Santana, he will want a big cut of the money. After he calls Santana a failure from the projects, Santana is attacked from behind by the rest of The System (Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, JDC). Suddenly, ABC ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and Chris Bey) and The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) - whose match is supposed to be up next - show up and fight both The System and Moose's security, and clean house. Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up and makes Moose vs. Mike Santana official for Bound For Glory, then tells The System to keep their eyes on the next match, as it has serious Bound For Glory implications.
ABC ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and Chris Bey) vs. The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) ends with The System (Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers) attacking both teams. After this, Director of Authority Santino Marella puts Eddie and Myers in a three-way match against both The Hardys and ABC for the TNA World Tag Team Championships at Bound For Glory before making the match a Full Metal Mayhem Match.
"Speedball" Mike Bailey guests on commentary for the next match.
Before the next match, Jason Hotch says he can predict the future, and tells the "Tennessee hillbillies" in the crowd that tonight, he will walk through two "ham sandwiches," and next week, he will beat "Speedball" Mike Bailey. After John Skyler whispers in his ear, Hotch proclaims that The Good Hands will become the next X Division Champion, and Skyler states that the division will be in their good hands.
Leon Slater beats Jason Hotch and Laredo Kid to become #1 contender for the X Division Championship next week.
Jordynne Grace heads to the ring. Jordynne calls out Masha Slamovich after being unable to find her backstage, and Masha shows up. Jordynne mentions Masha's "kill wall" being back up and says that she thought we were past that, and Masha says that they became friends after putting the best women's match the TNA fans have ever seen, but since then, Jordynne knew she had to keep her close. She says that Jordynne kept her knowledge of Masha speaking English to be the center of attention, then accepts her challenge and proclaims that when she becomes Knockouts World Champion, she will learn what it is like to live in her shadow. She then hands Jordynne a manila envelope containing a crossed-out pic of herself.
Before the next match, AJ Francis is about to speak when Joe Hendry shows up. When Hendry speaks, KC Navarro punches him in the face, and he and AJ Francis gang up on Hendry before "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth makes the save.
