Joe Hendry heads to the ring. Hendry says he would love to be involved in the World title picture, but tonight, he is in the Turkey Bowl match. He then says that you have to deal with the hand you are dealt, then puts the turkey suit's face on a picture of Hammerstone before asking the crowd to choose between "Hammerturkey" and "Turkeystone" (the crowd chooses "Turkeystone"). Hendry says that while PCO cannot be here tonight, he has been replaced by Rhino, saying TNA could use a different animal if he loses before giving a picture of him the turkey suit face treatment (and the word "Rhino" on his singlet being changed to "TURKEY" in all caps and in Comic Sans). He then brings up "everyone's least favorite wrestler" Brian Myers, saying that technology and AI are getting out of control before taking a picture of Myers and asking a supercomputer to make it worse. The supercomputer responds by zooming in on Myers' face. Hendry says that if he wins the Turkey Bowl, that means him beating five opponents and getting closer to the World Championship. He says that everyone can have all the fun and games that they want, but if they are not here to become the champion, then they should not be in a TNA ring. Hendry says that the reason that the wrestlers of TNA make sacrifices every night to entertain the fans that come to the events is to become World Champion, and if he wins tonight, he gets that little bit closer. Hendry then asks who wants to see some professional wrestling before leading a "TNA" chant, then thanks the fans before leading a "We Believe" chant.
Rosemary beats Xia Brookside and Savannah Evans in the countdown match after breaking up a post-Brooksy Bomb pinfall attempt by Brookside and hitting Brookside with the Spear.
Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Steve Maclin. Maclin says tonight's match will be a fight and that "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander has made things personal for months. He says that he has not quit and that he is still standing, as he does not change who he is or how he do things, and he is setting a new standard in TNA. Maclin says there will be a new standard when he leaves Alexander laying.
Mike Santana beats Frankie Kazarian.
Backstage, we hear from The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose). Myers says they are the most decoated team in professional wrestling and that their accolades speak for themselves, and that wearing a turkey suit will not be one of them. He says he would ask the rest of The System to wish him luck as he leaves, but he does not need it. Moose says Laredo Kid has been in TNA for a long time and has a chance to be relevant, but that relevancy has put him in the face of the franchise and he will beat the hell out of him, take his mask, and give it to his six-year-old kid while leaving Laredo Kid will tell everyone he knows to trust The System. Eddie asks "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth if he is proud of himself and what he has accomplished in TNA before telling him that his dream will become a nightmare when he becomes a three-time TNA World Champion.
Before the next match, John Skyler tells the fans to shut up before declaring tonight a monumental occasion for the return of the Turkey Bowl, then guarantees that after he wins, one of the other five "ham sandwiches" will be leaving in a turkey suit, "courtesy of these good hands."
Joe Hendry beats Brian Myers, Eric Young, Hammerstone, Rhino and John Skyler in a Thanksgiving Turkey Bowl Match. Hendry pins Myers, and as a result, Myers must don the turkey suit. Myers tries to run away, but Rhino throws him back in the ring, and he is soon surrounded by Hendry, Myers and Eric Young, who soon give him a beating for trying to run away from wearing the turkey suit. Hendry and Eric then get an unconscious Myers in the turkey suit as the crowd chants "Turkey Myers."
Backstage, we hear from Rosemary, who says that tonight was just a taste of what they want to do and that they need to do more. They then say that they have something in mind, and that they have found something to fill the void. They say that whoever is Knockouts World Champion will not be taken lightly and that they want and will take the Knockouts title as well as everything good in their lives, as the harvester of despair is on their tail and there is nothing they can do to stop them.
Moose retains the TNA X Division Championship against Laredo Kid.
Steve Maclin beats "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander in a no-disqualification match following a KIA off the top rope into a pile of shell casings.
Before the next match, Zachary Wentz announces that Trey Miguel could not make it due to travel issues, and that he went to The Treehouse and did some thinking, and the only person who came to mind was "the shaman," so he called "the shaman," and now "The bro is in the building." KUSHIDA and Zachary Wentz' tag team partner is revealed to be Matt Riddle.
"Inevitable" Ace Austin and The Hardy (Jeff and Matt Hardy) beat KUSHIDA, Zachary Wentz and Matt Riddle in a six-man tag match.
Masha Slamovich retains the TNA Knockouts World Championship against Jordynne Grace two falls to one (2-1) in a two-out-of-three falls match. Jordynne scores the first fall after she and Masha trade roll-ups. Masha scores the second fall with an inside cradle after Jordynne hits the Vader Bomb. Masha scores the third and deciding fall following a running knee and two piledrivers, the second being a package piledriver. Rosemary is seen watching from the stage near the end of the match.
"The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth retains the TNA World Championship against Eddie Edwards despite interference from Alisha Edwards and after Brian Myers shows up to attack Nemeth only for John Layfield to show up from out of the crowd to hit Myers with a Clothesline From Hell.
