Before the next match, John Skyler says the fans should be ashamed of themselves for causing Mustafa Ali's downward spiral and rejecting Order Four (Mustafa Ali, John Skyler, Jason Hotch, Tasha Steelz) while cheering for people like The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz), who he says are degenerates. He says that the fans are also degenerates, and while they wanted to make this place better, Order Four will now tear the place down with these great hands.

It's time for Fir$t Cla$$ Penthou$e. After AJ Francis and KC Navarro admit that Los Angeles, California deserves to host the segment before making fun of Tupac Shakur and the local sports scene and bringing out actor O'Shea Jackson, Jr. O'Shea Jackson Jr. seems rather reluctant to be here, especially after Fir$t Cla$$ (Francis and Navarro) disrespected Los Angeles, then says Francis looks like Suge Knight but acts like "a broke-ass Uncle Phil." KC Navarro has to stand between both men as things get verbal, then Mike Santana suddenly shows up and chases Fir$t Cla$$ off.

Frankie Kazarian heads to the ring. Kazarian says it is finally great to be back in southern California, but then he realizes he sees "a bunch of traitors" who would rather cheer for Joe Hendry instead of him and not fellow southern California residents. He says he was not pinned at Rebellion and that he should be TNA World Champion right now, then says Hendry did not, can not and will not beat him before stating that he hates Hendry's fans more than Hendry. Kazarian then mentions that there is somebody who gets it who is also a huge Frankie Kazarian fan: Trick Williams, who shows up and heads to the ring. Trick says he does not like Kazarian and that Kazarian does not like him, but they are here not to be liked, but respected, as being liked would be like being like Joe Hendry, who shows up. Kazarian dares Hendry to put his money where his mouth is when it comes to being a fighting champion, then Elijah shows up and head to the ring. Trick and Kazarian retreat. Director of Authority Santino Marella then shows up and makes their match for Under Siege take place tonight, but Robert Stone shows up and negates that, then tells Hendry and Elijah he will have suitable replacements for them next week.
