We hear from Mustafa Ali, who says that the future of the X Division hinges up on choice. He says Chris Sabin is the most persistent image in the X Division, and while he is ten-time champion, he has lost the title nine times to get there and has buckled under the pressure of being champion. Mustafa Ali then sees himself as a visionary who is up to the task and ready and eager to revitalize and renew the X Division as TNA forges a brave new future.

We hear from The Grizzled Young Vets (Zack Gibson and James Drake). Zack Gibson says they are here to beat the best and become tag team champs, and while ABC ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and Chris Bey) are among the best in the world, their story will only end one way as he has seen the pain etched in them and they will drag them even deeper. James Drake says that if they have to rip Ace's Austin shoulder off or rip the head off Chris Bey, they will do it, then warns the rest of the tag team division to grit their teeth when they see them coming.

After the match, Eric Young says he does not fully understand what is going on and what is going through Kazarian's mind, but he can ensure that he is very sure what is going through his and that it will not end well for Kazarian. He tells him to get a scarf and some matching shoes and challenge him to a match at No Surrender.
