In footage from earlier today, Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers attack Octagon Jr., leaving him unable to compete When Laredo heads to the ring for the next match, he heads to the ring alone without a tag team partner.
The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) beat Laredo Kid, the team of Fir$t Cla$$ (AJ Francis and KC Navarro) and the team of The System (Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers) to become #1 contenders for the TNA World Tag Team Championships at Against All Odds after AJ Francis hits Laredo with a Down Payment in the corner only for Trey Miguel to tag himself in, hit AJ Francis with a top rope meteora and pick the bones. Backstage, Nic Nemeth says The Rascalz did a good job, but they are not The Nemeths. Ryan Nemeth says that they will be tag team champions forever.
In backstage footage from during the break, AJ Francis is attacked by Mike Santana.
We see a vignette for Myla Grace and Harley Hudson, the two newest Knockouts in TNA. Both of them talk about their careers as well as the sacrifices that they have made to get to TNA. All of a sudden, personal concierge George Iceman shows up looking for Director of Authority Santino Marella due to Ash by Elegance being put in a match, and Xia Brookside, who is listening in the background, tells him he is not here. Myla and Harley find the situation hilarious.
Mustafa Ali beats Raj Singh following John Skyler distracting the referee, which allows Tasha Steelz to save Mustafa Ali from a drop kick in the corner. After the match, The Great Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch) stomp Raj Singh in the corner. All of a sudden, Mustafa Ali grabs Tasha Steelz, then commands The Great Hands to finish the job.
Backstage, Arianna Grace tells Director of Authority Santino Marella that she feels like she let him and herself down, but Santino tells Arianna that she did her best and that he is proud of her for standing up for herself against Tessa Blanchard. Santino Marella then says that they will both head to the ring tonight as a team on the same page, then Arianna then brings out referee Jimmy Korderas, who will referee their match against Robert Stone and Tessa Blanchard tonight right down the middle.
On the Bioflex Injury Report, Tessa Bllanchard is day-to-day for TMJ, and her medical clearance is yet to be determind. Octagon Jr. has an upper body injury from The System's backstage attack that is also day-to-day. Steve Maclin is now medically cleared following a skull fracture sustained in his Dog Collar Match with Eric Young.
Before the next match, personal concierge George Iceman says there are no ladies in town, only "ugly Canadians," before introducing Ash by Elegance for the next match.
Lei Ying Lee beats Ash by Elegance after getting the upper hand following both women firing themselves up. After the match, Masha Slamovich shows up and tells Lei Ying Lee she will see her at Against All Odds before the two of them shake hands.
We hear from Trick Williams, who says that he wishes he could be here tonight, but he has standards, and in order to show up, he needs a first class plane ticket and a five-star hotel. He says he feels bad, then warns Mike Santana not to get in his face again. He says TNA is "Trick-NA" and that he will show up where and when he wants, and makes it clear that he will take everything from Joe Hendry.
Mance Warner beats Bryce Hansen. After the match, Steph de Lancer welcomes everyone to the "Mance and de Lancer" era, then says they never lost the Digital Media title and that they are still champions, and that they are watching Steve Maclin. She says that when Mance Warner hits the pay window, the International Championship is coming home with him.
We hear from Rosemary, who proclaims that Xia Brookside had it in her all along and that it took a big push due to her strong willpower, then says it was only a matter of time before the darkness took over and that there is one last step. They ask if Brookside is ready to absorb the darkness and become part of the shadows in one last test.
Before the next match, Robert Stone says he has some good news and bad news. The bad news is that Tessa Blanchard has a case of TMJ due to Arianna Grace injuring here, and Tessa cannot compete. However, Victoria Crawford will be replacing here. The good news is that there are three rules: this match cannot go over ten minutes, he has assigned Alisha Edwards - who has suddenly shown up with the three of them - as a special guest enforcer in case something happens to Jimmy Korderas, and the Cobra is officially banned for this match. Should Director of Authority Santino Marella whip out the Cobra, he will officially take over his job.
Robert Stone and Victoria Crawford beat Santino Marella and Arianna Grace (who make history by being the first father-daughter tag team in a TNA match). During the match, Robert Stone pulls special guest referee Jimmy Korderas out of the ring, then blames it on Santino Marella before shoving Korderas into Santino. With Korderas down, Alisha Edwards is the referee for the match, and after Crawford hits Arianna with an axe kick, Robert Stone gets the pin and the win.
Backstage, we hear from The Northern Armory (Eric Young, Judas Icarus, Travis Williams). Eric Young says he has done everything in TNA, but he looks forward to being a three-time X Division Champion. Moose and JDC show up, and Moose calls Eric Young "a mad dog scratching for one last bone," then says Canadians are stupid. JDC says Canada is "America's ugly top hat," then Moose reminds Young that he has beaten him in his home country for gold and he will do it again next week.
Personal Concierge George Iceman is on the stage. He announces that due to unfair circumstances from tonight's match, Ash by Elegance will not be part of the upcoming celebration. He then welcomes Heather by Elegance. After Heather shows up, George Iceman then introduces "M by Elegance," formerly Maggie Lee, to the stage. Iceman then proposes a toast to elegance, but before they can sip chardonnay, Myla Grace and Harley Hudson show up. Myla introduces the two of themselves before taking offense to Iceman interrupting them, then Harley says they will do the same before throwing chardonnay at M's face. Security stands between both sides as Myla and Harley leave.
Backstage, Tommy Dreamer tells Steve Maclin to fight for the fans as well as for TNA.
Steve Maclin retains the TNA International Championship against Matt Cardona despite the championship almost being introduced into the match as a weapon and after Maclin nearly taking out the referee.
Backstage, Mike Santana says he came here to handle his business with AJ Francis, then says he has a lot to say about Trick Williams and that the TNA World Championship is coming back home where it belongs.
