KC Navarro says that they have not only failed to win the TNA World Tag Team Championships, but he has re-injured his knee and has torn his ACL, and that he must get surgery. AJ Francis then replaces KC Navarro with Rich Swann, who has not been seen in almost a year. Rich Swann shows up and says it feels so wonderful to be back, as he gets to help AJ Francis turn TNA into "TNAJ Francis." AJ Francis then kicks KC Navarro out of Fir$t Cla$$, saying that he was always a substitute and a back-up, but KC Navarro says he has busted his ass for ten years to get to TNA, and reminds AJ Francis of the many times he died on a sword for him, including to try to win the TNA World Tag Team Championships. AJ Francis says he has been carrying "165 pounds of dead weight" for months now and has cost him and Rich Swann championships, then calls KC Navarro "a loser" before he and Swann kick Navarro's crutches out from under him.

He says their confidence is at an all-time high now that they are one of the greatest tag teams of all time, and that is is their job to make TNA the place to be for tag team wrestling.

Hendry goes for the Standing Ovation, but Tasha Steelz grabs at Hendry. This distracts the referee to the point that Agent Zero is able to hit a big boot on Hendry, and Mustafa Ali hits the top rope 450 splash and gets the win.
