Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Steve Maclin. Maclin says that he is approaching tonight's match like he does every other one, and while he expects the rest of The System (Brian Myers, Moose, JDC, Alisha Edwards) to interfere, he will take care of Eddie Edwards. The Northern Armory (Eric Young, Judas Icarus, Travis Williams) shows up, and Eric Young says that they have Maclin's back no matter what. Maclin tells The Northern Armory that he does not need them in his business.
"Inevitable" Ace Austin beats Mustafa Ali by disqualification after Mustafa hits Austin with a metal folding chair as Austin fends off The Great Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch). After the match, The Great Hands hit Ace Austin with The Favor, then hold down Austin in the corner at Mustafa's command. Tasha Steelz hands a chair to Mustafa, then Mike Santana suddenly shows up. Mustafa Ali, Tasha Steelz and The Great Hands - now known as "Order Four" - run away through the crowd after Mustafa swings at Santana only for Santana to block the chair with his fist.
Backstage, Order Four (Mustafa Ali, John Skyler, Jason Hotch, Tasha Steelz) make their way out of the arena and into a waiting car. They soon find out Santana is in the driver's seat, and while everyone else escapes, Skyler is taken for a ride after Santana attacks him.
Before the next match, JDC tells Cody Deaner not to pander to the fans before asking him when he last won a match. He says he knows Deaner's contract is up soon and that things are not looking good for him and his kids. He offers Deaner a spot in The System, albeit as "a young boy" and not as an official member, and tells him to trust The System as he does not have many options. Once again, Deaner leaves the choice up to the fans, who make it clear that they do not want him to join The System. JDC tells Deaner not to listen to the fans, but Deaner proposes beating Moose for the X Division Championship. Moose laughs and says that if Deaner can last two minutes against him, he can get a shot at the X Division Championship. Deaner leaves the choice to the fans, and the fans make it clear they want to see this challenge.
Moose retains the TNA X Division Championship against Cody Deaner. Cody Deaner lasts the first two minutes to make the match an X Division title match after Moose lets the match keep going almost a minute in, but Moose beats him with two Spears shortly afterwards. After the match, JDC, Myers and Moose gang up on Cody Deaner, but they run away when The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) show up with baseball bats.
The System (Brian Myers and JDC) beat The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) after JDC holds down Trey Miguel's feet as Trey tries to get Myers back in the ring, allowing Myers to fall on top of Trey for the win as JDC continues to hold Trey's feet down.
AJ Francis beats Sami Callihan and Mance Warner in a triple threat match to advance in the TNA International Championsip Tournament after hitting Callihan with the TFL following Callihan plunging his thumb into Mance Warner's eye.
Backstage, Director of Authority Santino Marella confronts Sami Callihan for ramming his thumb in Mance Warner's eye. Sami Callihan mentions Steph de Lander burning his retina with hot coffee, and says he wants this to be over. Santino agrees, and Sami Callihan says he wants to make history doing it in a Barbed Wire Massacre Match. Santino makes it official for Unbreakable.
Leon Slater beats "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth with a Twist of Slate (a Twist of Fate into a Blunt Force Trauma) followed by a Swanton 450 Splash after The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) stop Ryan Nemeth from using a metal folding chair as a weapon.
We hear from Mustafa Ali, who tells John Skyler that he will go after Order Four (Mustafa Ali, John Skyler, Jason Hotch, Tasha Steelz) one by one. He tells Skyler that Mustafa Ali will use him like everyone else and get rid of him when he is done. He says that all is fair in war and that if Skyler wants to drink his Kool-Aid, then he nearly hits him a shovel as he shows him what it is like to hit rock bottom.
Eddie Edwards beats Steve Maclin after The Northern Armory (Eric Young, Judas Icarus, Travis Williams) shows up and distracts Steve Maclin as he takes down Brian Myers and JDC, allowing Alisha Edwards to sneak a ring to Eddie so he can knock Maclin out for the win. After the match, Eric Young tosses his hockey mask to Steve Maclin.
Joe Hendry heads to the ring. Hendry announces that he has suffered a serious rotator cuff injury, then says that if you cannot defend the championship, you should not be the champion. He calls the last year "the most amazing journey" and that it is all because of the fans, but he has to take the bad with the good, and that he has been advised not to compete. However, he will defend the TNA World Championship at Rebellion, and he will defend it against Frankie Kazarian and "All Ego" Ethan Page and walk out still the TNA World Champion. He says he will do it because the fans have kept chanting "We believe," then Kazarian shows up and says that while this is really inspiring, he is sick of Hendry, and Hendry will not walk out as champion because he will barely be able to walk into the building. He says that Hendry is "a wounded duck" and is not at 100%, and that he will not be able to hang with him. Kazarian says Hendry cares about what the fans think and desires to be loved, but when he loses that, he will beat him and "All Ego" Ethan Page to become champion. Hendry mentions Kazarian saying he cannot wait to beat him, and says that at Unbreakable there will be a tag team match. Kazarian will team with Tessa Blanchard, while he will team with Masha Slamovich to face Kazarian.
Here are the must-see moments from tonight's show!
