Mike Santana heads to the ring. Santana mentions Steve Maclin trying to sneak attack him at No Surrender because he was not man enough to meet him face to face, and tells Maclin that he knows him better than anyone in the back and knows what he is trying to do. He knows that Maclin knows him, too, and if Maclin knocks on Death's door, Death will answer and step to him like a man before dropping him. Santana admits his head was on a swivel when he asked Slater if he had his back and Slater told him that he did, what with Daria Rae getting in his head about Option C, then admits that he did not have Slater's and left him by himself. Santana apologizes for that, and both men shake hands, and says that if Moose did not even the odds, things would have happened differently, but Slater pinned a former World Champion. Slater does not blame Santana for what happened, for this is professional wrestling at the end of the day, then mentions that he pinned "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth, who suddenly heads to the ring with his brother "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth. Ryan speaks, but Santana threatens to make Ryan swallow his microphone in the fans. Nic says Slater got lucky at No Surrender and now has a target on his back thanks to him, but Santana says that was not luck and that Slater is one of the best in the world. Nic says Slater and Santana were the better man, but he is the best man and the draw around here. Slater proposes that he and Santana have a tag team match with The Nemeths right here, right now. Daria Rae shows up and declares that she makes the matches, not the wrestlers, and that this match will not happen tonight. He says that she will squeeze them in next week if they are lucky, then tells everyone to get out of the ring for the next match.
Backstage, we hear from The System (Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, Bear Bronson, Cedric Alexander). Brian Myers mentions that Moose could not stay away at No Surrender and made a huge statement, but he made a huge mistake.

Before the next match, Arianna Grace proclaims that No Surrender was amazing, and that while TNA's best was on display, everyone was talking about her at the end of the night after she walked out TNA Knockouts World Champion. She tells the fans to accept it, then says that she has heard all the hate and all the whispers, and while her father Director of Authority Santino Marella got her the match, she was the one to win the title, and she admits that she played Santino like a fiddle. Arianna tells those who think she does not deserve this that she does, and says that wrestling is not just about being tough, but also about leverage, power and using what you have to get what you want, and she got everything. She then declares that Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo will use his rematch clause to win back the TNA International Championship and become part of the biggest power couple in wrestling.

Eric Young says that he will cleanse TNA of the false prophets, liars, cheats, thieves and bandits, either by his hand or someone else's. He says Leon Slater is among them, and says that Slater is seeking validation from the wrong people and wrecking TNA's legacy, and that he has to step in and fix this and channel the truth. He says that the second phase of "the cleanse" is saving the X Division, and dares someone to stop him.

The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch) show up after Jeff says that he and Matt will not get laid out this time. Vincent says nature always balances itself, and Dutch is ready for a fight. Brian Myers mentions that there is still so mistrust between The Righteous and The Hardys before The System leaves. Dutch apologizes for the miscommunication at No Surrender and will continue to apologize until The Hardys regain their trust. Jeff appreciates the timing, and Matt apologizes before he and Jeff leave. Vincent tells Dutch that Daria Rae will ensure they get their foot in the door before it closes.
Elayna Black heads to the ring. Elayna says she was so close to a Knockouts title shot before Mara Sadé stole her moment, then proclaims that everyone is out for her. She states that at the end of the day, she is the only one who should have walked out with the title. She says that Mara Sadé taking that title shot from her when she is the only one who matters is absolutely sickening to her, and wants Mara Sadé to explain herself before stating that the Knockouts title will be hers. Mara Sadé shows up and mentions that the two of them have a shared history, but Elayna says the big difference between them is that she sacrificed on the indies to get here while Mara Sadé was handed the opportunity to be a pro wrestler. She says that she earned this, and that regardless of who is in her way, she will be Knockouts Champion while Mara Sadé will continue to be an obvious industry plant who does not deserve a single second here. Mara Sadé says Elayna hates her because the industry did not break her, and tells Elayna to prove she is a fraud if she wants to expose her. Elayna calls Mara Sadé another step in the obstacle course that she will overcome.
