Cedric Alexander and Leon Slater beat The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz). Slater and Myron Reed have a staredown in the middle of the ring after the match.
Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Frankie Kazarian and Jake Something. Kazarian says he feels like a divine being, as Jake Something realizes he is the way, the truth and the light and that by having his back, he will finally become something. As for Steve Maclin and Mr. Anderson, he states that Maclin is on borrowed time with the International Championship, then says he brought Anderson back and he will be the one to take him out.
In footage from earlier today, Eric Young confronts Director of Authority Santino Marella and demands a match with Joe Hendry. Santino says that the match is official as he tells Eric he is lucky he did not fire him for putting his hands on a referee, and Eric says that he does not have the balls to fire him and dares Santino to fire him as he continuously calls him a puppet. Santino tells Young that the higher-ups want this match, and therefore it is happening.
Victoria Crawford beats Jody Threat following the distraction by Tessa Blanchard, who has not been seen since Against All Odds.
Backstage, we hear from Joe Hendry, who says that Eric Young was the one to mentor him and help him figure things out on his return to TNA, but he got too successful for Eric's liking to the point that Eric Young became a jealous conspiracy theorist who thinks Hendry is turning away from the values he used to preach. Hendry states that at Victory Road, Eric Young will find out why the fans chant "We believe."
Backstage, we hear from The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose). Eddie Edwards says their path to Bound For Glory is set. Myers says they have been down a family member in JDC, but JDC will be at Victory Road no matter what. Moose says he does not need his family to win matches, yet Mustafa Ali has yet to prove the same with his faction. He then challenges Mustafa to a match with no seconds at ringside for Victory Road, which he thinks will not happen, then says he will prove why he is the face of the franchise and why you always trust The System.
Before the next match, AJ Francis re-introduces himself, then says that unlike Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves, he will not be eliminated early by "a bunch of losers" and "a bunch of broads." He says he has been told never to concern himself with the actions of losers, but when it comes to broads, it is "the money over the honey." When he gets in Rosemary's face and says that he would slam her even though he would never hit a woman, Rosemary spits green mist in his face. AJ Francis soon gets eliminated by everyone else in the match.
Mance Warner last eliminates Lei Ying Lee in a battle royal to enter the Call Your Shot Gauntlet Match at #20.

We see a video package of Mike Santana's road to Bound For Glory.
Director of Authority Santino Marella is in the ring for "The Final Negotation." Team 3D (Bully Ray and Brother Devon) is introduced first, followed by The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy). Bully Ray says that out of respect for what The Hardys continue to do for TNA, he will allow them the floor first. Matt Hardy says it is surreal that both teams are in a TNA ring. He says that when The Hardys returned to TNA, they wanted to cement themselves as the greatest of all time, and while they have made some all-time lists, they will never catch up to Team 3D on the "most decorated" list. Bully Ray says TNA is what it is because of The Hardys. Matt says that to cement themselves as the greatest of all time, they must beat Team 3D one last time. Bully Ray tells Brother Devon that they made a lot of memories and history with The Hardys, and D-Von mentions the time they were 25 feet in the air and says "Never again, you son of a bitch!" Matt Hardy mentions falling off a 16-foot ladder and going through 4 tables, and Bully Ray wonders how even Jeff Hardy is still alive. Both teams agree they have been through a lot and made a lot of history together, and while they are going through memory lane and nostalgia, Bully Ray says that The Hardys need them at the end of the day, and that is the truth. Matt says the truth is the truth, and they need them at Bound For Glory to see who the greatest truly is. He says that whoever wins will shake the others' hands and proclaim the other team as the greatest. Bully Ray then asks what they have to offer them, and Matt Hardy says they are putting the tag team titles on the line. If Team 3D wins, they will be 25-time world tag team champions. Bully Ray says there are more deserving teams, but Matt Hardy wants them to jump to the front of the line for one special match that will happen one final time. Santino agrees to this, and asks the fans if they want this, to which the fans agree. Bully Ray rejects the offer, however, and the fans chant "We want tables!" Bully Ray then mentions their tag team tables match at Royal Rumble 2000, which The Hardys won, then says Team 3D needs The Hardys as much as The Hardys need them. He says that this loss has bothered them to this day, especially since it was in their hometown of New York City, then says that if they are going to do this, they will do this the right way: in a tables match. Santino Marella then makes it official and hands the contract to Team 3D, but Bully Ray says they do not need a contract as Devon tears the contract up, and that all they need to do is shake hands. Both teams shake hands in the middle of the ring.
Backstage, we hear from Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, John Skyler, Jason Hotch, Tasha Steelz). Mustafa is the kind of tired that sleep cannot fix, as he is tired of explaining himself as well as the disrespect, and he is tired of The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose). He says that actions have consequences regarding Moose's stipulation for Victory Road. John Skyler says that Order 4 will unleash those consequences, and Jason Hotch says they are what a family really looks like. Tasha Steelz says that at Bound For Glory, they will stand united while The System falls divided. Mustafa then accepts Moose's challenge for Victory Road, but he does not like to leave anything to chance. He says that whoever wins between himself and Moose will earn the advantage for Hardcore War for their team. The System then shows up, and both factions have a staredown.
Before the next match, Steve Maclin ends up playing the part of the microphone that fails to drop down from the ceiling.
