We hear from Sami Callihan, who says that Mance Warner does not know what he is up against and that he gets one more day before he beats him. Warner and Steph de Lander show up and taunt Callihan into hitting Warner and getting fired, but Callihan does not give in.

Wes Lee beats Laredo Kid. After the match, The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) and "Inevitable" Ace Austin show up, and Trey says they waited for Wes Lee to be done because they are not cowards, and that he, Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe have one more day until they settle things.

We see Steve Maclin write in a notebook while sitting in front of a campfire, followed by a vision of him and Eric Young having drinks together. Maclin says he has already told Eric his stance, and Eric says he gets it and that while they have their paths, their paths will collide one way or another. Maclin says they are both men and will always respect each other, to which Eric agrees, then says that if Eric can see himself in, he can see himself out.

Before the next match, Cody Deaner says it is great to have TNA Wrestling back in Orlando, Florida, and that he never expected to wrestle in Full Sail University. He says his personal life of being a father of four was great, which leads to a "He's got kids!" chant, but his professional life was not as great until he put it in the hands of the people, and since then, he has had more fun in professional wrestling than ever. After Cody Deaner says he will enjoy beating JDC tonight, JDC says nobody cares about his kids, to which the fans chant "Yes, we do!", then says he only cares about tonight's steel cage match and tells Deaner to be a man and take the loss. Deaner then says it is not anybody's choice but the fans if he should leave or fight, and the fans overwhelmingly choose for him to punch JDC in the face ten times.

JDC beats Cody Deaner with a thumb to the eyes and a Falcon Arrow after Deaner almost inadvertently runs into the referee.

Tessa Blanchard and Cora Jade beat Masha Slamovich and Lei Ying Lee after Cora hits Masha in the face with the Knockouts World Championship.

Ton Hannifan sits in the middle of the Mike Santana-Mustafa Ali Summit. Mustafa says he respects Santana as a competitor and asset of TNA, but TNA is the biggest picture and on the precipice of greatness, and to achieve that greatness, they need a great leader, and he wants to break down the walls for generations to come. He says that he can handle the pressure, but states that Santana cannot. Santana says he has lived pressure his entire life in trying to be the face of his family and since he walked back into TNA, and he has beaten some of its best since then. Mustafa says Santana does not really know pressure through adversity and failure and that he does not really care about TNA, and says Santana is a liability and an addict, not a leader. Santana says Mustafa is "full of shit" and that everyone is on to him, from the fans to the locker room, and that everyone knows Mustafa is here for his own self-gain. He also has accepted his addiction for a long time, but he is now an addict for TNA and for being true to himself. He also has accepted his addiction for a long time, but he is now an addict for TNA and for being true to himself. He also says that he has shown to all the other addicts out there that it is possible to hit the bottom and rise. Santana tells Mustafa that at Sacrifice, his hands had better cash those checks. Mustafa admits he admires Santana's, then says there is too much tension and pulls out a bottle of wine as a gesture. He then says Santana will lose, face adversity, then fall back off the wagon and let everyone down and break his daughter's heart. Santana attacks Mustafa, but Mustafa gets the upper hand when Tasha Steelz gets in the way. When Santana is down on the ground, he pours some wine from the bottle in a glass and leaves it for Santana when he wakes up. Mustafa and his cabinet leave, then Santana sees the glass.

We see a preview of "Immersed: Joe Hendry," which is now available on TNA's YouTube channel.

Before the next match, Frankie Kazarian is about to guest on commentary for the next match when he finds out he has a match with Steve Maclin at Sacrifice. Kazarian is livid. When Joe Hendry heads to the ring, Hendry says this is the part of the show where he finds out who will face him for the TNA World Championship tonight, and introduces Director of Authority Santino Marella. Santino then says he has somebody special for him tonight, then "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth shows up dressed to compete and announces that "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth returns tomorrow night at Sacrifice. He also states that Nic hates Hendry as much as he does and has given him his contractually obligated rematch, and tells Santino that he is taking it right now. Ryan gets in the ring, then Hendry plants him with a Standing Ovation for a very quick win. Santino then says Ryan is out of his mind and not the person he had in mind, then introduces Hendry's real opponent: Hammerstone, who has not been seen in months.

Joe Hendry retains the TNA World Championship against Alex Hammerstone. (This ends up being Hammerstone's final match in TNA, as he is no longer under contract following this match.) After the match, The System and The Colons gang up on Joe Hendry, then Elijah, Leon Slater and The Hardys show up to make the save. This leads to a ten-man brawl all around the ring, and Moose and Jeff Hardy toss each other into Frankie Kazarian as the show ends.

He knows that Stacks is concerned about his back, and while Shawn Spears is putting his own family together, his family is the only family in NXT.

Oba Femi takes questions from a series of interviewers. Oba Femi says he does not take being champion lightly and says that his clash with Moose is one he cannot afford to lose.

Oba concludes by stating that he will still be the ruler and champion of NXT after Roadblock.

The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and Matt Hardy) head to the ring. Jeff says the last few weeks have felt surreal and that it feels good to be in NXT, and that it feels "damn good" to be back home in WWE. Matt says he can feel the love to come back home and appear on NXT for the very first time and beat a top-notch team in No Quarter Catch Crew (Tavion Heights and Myles Borne), and while they have been everywhere in the business, the passion in NXT is off the charts. He says that something special is happening in NXT, and Jeff says that the hunger and the passion is infectious. Jeff says he saw the same fire that took them to unimaginable heights in Nathan Frazer and Axiom when Hank Walker and Tank Ledger show up. Tank says they are here to thank The Hardy Boyz for showing what it means to be a tag team, and wants to ask them for advice. Hank says they are missing something that will take them to the next level, and want to know what it is. Matt says that he respects the both of them, but says that sometimes, you have to break the norm to get noticed, and Jeff says sometimes you have to go to the extreme. Jeff says it means getting out of one's comfort zone and stretching one's self past one's limits. Matt says he sees hunger and passion in Hank and Tank, and says that he and Jeff were willing to better themselves to get noticed. Josh Briggs and Yoshiki Inamura show up, and Briggs tells Hank and Tank to remove their lips from The Hardys' asses. Inamura says they see what Hank and Tank are doing. Briggs says The Hardys can give Hank and Tank all the advice that they want, but they will be wasting their breath. He tells Hank and Tank to stop playing the damsel in distress as they will not get a title shot from The Hardy Boyz. Inamura then says it is his and Briggs' time. Hank and Tank dive at Inamura and Briggs, and both teams brawl to the back. Meanwhile, Nathan Frazer and Axiom show up from behind The Hardy Boyz, and Matt Hardy notices.

He chalks up snapping on Je'Von and breaking his jaw on jealousy and being too soft. Ethan says he is at his most dangerous and that NXT is silly enough to give him a street fight. Je'Von says he could not talk for three months because of Ethan and that Ethan took everything from him, and next week, Ethan will now longer be able to run, and nobody will hold him down anymore.

Trick Williams beats Kale Dixon via referee stoppage with a Trick Shot as soon as the bell rings. After the match, Trick Williams says Eddy Thorpe's life just flashed before his eyes before calling him out if he wants a piece of him. Eddy Thorpe appears on the balcony and says Trick is struggling with no longer being the man in NXT, yet walks around like he is. Thorpe says he should be the man in NXT, and while he beat him at Vengeance Day, he has to beat it into him and the fans and make it definitive. Thorpe then challenges Trick to an NXT Underground Match in two weeks, which Trick accepts.

Backstage, Roxanne Perez is stopped from attacking Jordynne Grace with a metal folding chair by referees, who then keep Roxanne away from Jordynne as they check on her.

Moose takes questions from a series of interviewers. He says he is a prizefighter who fights for the biggest prize in the game, and when Total Nonstop Action teamed up with NXT, he waited for the right moment to cross the line and face Oba Femi. He says there is no bigger fight and admits that Oba Femi has been "one hell of a champion in NXT" and will be a big player and ruler of NXT, but he will not be NXT Champion after he leaves Roadblock with two titles.

Bayley shows up and says that Roxanne is at a crossroads, and when Roxanne says she does not need Bayley's advice, Bayley says that Roxanne was always taking advice and that the women's division will be fine without her.
