Rich Swann and BDE leave, then Francis pockets some of the money for himself while the crowd of people from earlier laugh at him behind his back.

KC Navarro is in the ring. Navarro says that Philadelphia, Pennsylvania will always hold a special place in his heart, then mentions his match with Nic Nemeth for the TNA World Championship and admits he came up short, stating nobody was harder on himself than himself. He felt for a moment that he did not belong in TNA even after everything he had ever been through, but he thought about his journey to this point as well as his past attempts to get into TNA. Navarro says he fought so he could be an inspiration to kids, including his baby brothers in the front row watching him after his high school told him he would not be anything, and says that he finally belongs. He says that despite having friends who turned his back on him, his story is just beginning. Suddenly, The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Bear Bronson, Cedric Alexander) show up. Alisha Edwards says nobody cares about "crybaby KC," and Brian Myers makes fun of Navarro for tearing his ACL. He then says that he set up a daycare section with crayons and a coloring book and tells Navarro to go to the back. Cedric then cuts a promo on Leon Slater, saying he will never get a shot at the X Division Championship, and Eddie says Slater and Ricky Sosa are worthy of a match against The System. Navarro butts in, saying that The System look more like bitches than gatekeepers. Eddie tells Navarro he made a big mistake, and Navarro gets jumped by The System before Ricky Sosa, Leon Slater and Fabian Aichner rush in and clear the ring.

Allie vs. The Elegance Brand (Heather by Elegance and M by Elegance) ends in a no-contest after The Personal Concierge George Iceman tries to bring in a Knockouts Tag Team title as a weapon only for Allie to take it away and rake him in the eye. Mr. Elegance soon gets in the ring only to get blasted, as does Heather when she grabs at Allie, which causes the referee to call for the bell. M by Elegance also gets decked with the championship, and multiple referees have to surround the ring as Allie stands in the ring, furious. DEMONxBUNNY (Allie and Rosemary) retain the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championships.

Jeff Hardy also shows up in the same mask wearing his Immortal championship. Matt talks about how they put their feud with The Righteous to an end, then mentions Aimee Garcia being in the front row before stating that he and Jeff both went into the Lake of Reincarnation. Jeff says that he is sober and "an enlightened enigma," then says they are going to kick some ass around TNA. Matt says that it is time to spit some facts, and declares that The Hardys are the greatest tag team of pro wrestling and that they are the reason that TNA is on AMC and "runs on Hardy dust." He then says that it is appropriate that they won the tag team titles back in a ladder match, as there would be no ladder match without The Hardys. All of a sudden, The Nemeths ("The Wanted Man" Nic and "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth) show up. Nic says he is better than both of The Hardys and he has Ryan with him, and Ryan says they are the best brother tag team of all time. Ryan also brags about the time he beat Jeff Hardy.

This allows Mustafa to hit Hotch with a low blow before ripping the belt off Hotch's trunks and whipping him with it. John Skyler gets on the apron and takes the belt from Mustafa disarming him, and Mustafa shoves Skyler off the ring apron. Skyler then gets back on the apron only to be inadvertently hit by Hotch. Mustafa then uses the ropes for leverage to pin Hotch after the referee comes to, but the pinfall attempt is stopped by Tasha Steelz, who is immediately confronted by Mila Moore. This starts a brawl between Tasha and Mila that John Skyler and Special Agent Zero have to take to the back. After a series of pinfall attempts, Mustafa hits Hotch with a top rope 450 only for Hotch to counter afterwards with a crucifix pin attempt. Mustafa then charges at Hotch in the corner only for Hotch to dodge. Hotch goes to the top rope, but Mustafa trips him down.

Nic then has Ryan unroll a scroll of all the wrestlers he has put down personally. As Nic Nemeth mentions some guys from high school and college he'd like to face one more time, KC Navarro shows up and admits that he is a little upset about how Nic Nemeth is doing things. This leads to Ryan telling Navarro to get out of the ring, and Navarro threatens to beat Ryan up.

Suddenly, The Righteous shows up, and Dutch says they also hear the chatter and that Ricky Sosa is "a once-in-a-lifetime signing" with the future in his hands, then says attention whispers and waits. He says that some people spend their entire lives not knowing how good they could truly be, which is where they and their ability to create greatness comes in.

The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Bear Bronson, Cedric Alexander) suddenly show up, and Alisha Edwards says that the only way for Ricky to make a name for himself in TNA is to ride with The System.

Suddenly, she is interrupted by Lei Ying Lee, who says that there will be a day that she is happy for her and happy that they wrestled each other, but after all Brookside did to her and how Brookside had to cheat to win, she sees not a champion, but "a fake bitch." She says that Brookside now has everything to lose, as she has her championship rematch next week.

During the match, Eric Young knocks out the referee, and Santana has to revive the referee after hitting Eric Young with Spin the Block. Eric Young hits a low blow, then grabs the TNA World Championship to use as a weapon despite TNA President Carlos Silva's pleas. He hits Santana with the title, then hits Santana with a piledriver. Santana somehow gets his hand on the bottom rope. Young then puts the World title in the center of the ring, then Ricky Sosa shows up for the first time since Eric Young took him out. This gives Santana enough of a breather to roll Eric Young to win and retain. After the match, Eric Young runs to the back to go after Ricky Sosa, and TNA President Carlos Silva is about to personally hand the TNA World Championship to Santana only for "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth to show up with the Call Your Shot Gauntlet Trophy. Instead of cashing in on Santana, he helps Santana up, then takes the microphone and says that while he could pick the bones and cash in, he is a man of his word, and he will call his shot at Slammiversary.

He then distastefully gives condolences to Navarro's family for the loss of Navarro's uncle as well as Navarro himself.

Before the next match, The Personal Concierge George Iceman introduces Mr. Elegance as a future TNA champion, "the spawn seed of the gods," "a titan amongst men with a body composition of 1% body fat," and "the opposite of all of you pigs." When Elijah makes his entrance, Elijah mentions AJ Francis trying to take his likeness and silence his voice as well as his fans', then says that is not going to happen. All of a sudden, a lawyer shows up and tells Elijah that he has been served. Mr. Elegance shoves Elijah into the lawyer and beats Elijah in mere seconds with an inside cradle. Mr. Elegance beats Elijah. After the match, AJ Francis mocks Elijah for losing the match just like he lost the rights to his image and will lose the lawsuit he just got slapped with, then boasts about making a lot of money while the fans cannot do anything about it. Elijah clotheslines AJ Francis out of the ring, then beats him up and takes it into the crowd as he goes. Meanwhile, Mr. Elegance celebrates his victory in the ring until Lei Ying Lee shows up and beats him up. Xia Brookside then gets in the ring and attacks Lei Ying Lee, and Brookside goes for Darkside only for Lei Ying Lee to fight back and hit Warrior's Way.

Santana says it is no secret that he trusts no one in the locker, yet he respects what Nic Nemeth did for him. He then says that he will win at Slammiversary, and that Nemeth will be shaking his hand. Navarro then asks The Nemeths and Santana to have his back.

Vincent says he warned that in the Wicked Garden, the vines do not let go, then says history was made when The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hard) met "the lily of the valley." He says it is beautiful and delicate, but poisonous beneath, and that he put it in Jeff Hardy's mouth to prove that even legends decay. Vincent says that for thirty years, The Hardys have survived ladders, tables, cages and time itself. He then states that when The Hardys entered the Wicked Garden, they were classified as obsolete. Dutch says last week was historic, as the soil of the Wicked Garden was fed well, and watching Jeff Hardy convulse to the truth left tears in their eyes. Dutch says The Hardys became the past while The Righteous have become tomorrow. Vincent then states that since they have beaten The Hardys in the Wicked Garden, there is only one thing left to hardest: the TNA World Tag Team Championships. Suddenly, Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up, and admits while that The Righteous give him the creeps, they are right, and it earned them a potential tag team title match. He says The Hardys have a rematch clause, and the titles will be defended in a three-way ladder match at Slammiversary. Vincent says that The Hardys are gone and that they are in control, but the lights go out and "Broken" Matt Hardy's laughter can be heard. When the lights come back on, a giant orange ladder is in the center of the ring. The Righteous are spooked. "Broken" Matt Hardy's theme then plays.

Backstage, we hear from The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy). Matt Hardy says The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch) had their tag team title shot and that The Hardys are moving on, and Jeff thinks that The Righteous want to form some sort of freaky new faction.

She announces that at No Surrender, Trey Miguel will face Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo for the TNA International Championship, The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) and The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch) will face Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, John Skyler, Jason Hotch, Special Agent Zero), and in the main event, Mike Santana and Leon Slater will face "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth and Eddie Edwards. Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up and says that Lei Ying Lee will be defending the Knockouts World Championship against Arianna Grace. Daria Rae thinks this screams of nepotism and gets angry at Santino for making this match, saying that he is too emotional. When Daria Rae notices that Steve Maclin is saying goodbye to some people, she takes him as an uninvited guest and gets angry. Steve Maclin then looks at the camera and talks about how TNA was home for him for five years and made him a two-time International Champion as well as a World Champion. He admits he may not show his emotions very much, but he loves TNA for its locker room sticking together through thick and thin. He says he is happy to leave TNA with his head held high and a tear in his eye, and says you can leave everything to something, but it will always do what it has to do. He then says goodbye to Mike Santana, who thanks Maclin for welcoming him back and showing him that he had what it took to be in TNA before thanking him for his selflessness.

He says that when you are good at what he is involved in, your life changes and you gain friends and family as well as a huge responsibility. He says that he needed to sit in a dark room and remember who he was on his own, and remember what he did before he came to NXT and remember what he did best: bouncing people's heads off the mat. D'Angelo says he returned to NXT the way that he did to keep people guessing and ensured that nobody knew anything, then says that this is a selfish business as well as a selfish time in NXT, which aligns exactly with his plans. He then says he has two reasons for coming back. One is punishing DarkState (Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Saquon Shugars, Osiris Griffin) for taking everything from him and taking everything from them in response. The other will be revealed when he is done with DarkState.

Zaria shows up and says that Jacy sicking her "lap dogs" on her was not enough, then says that Sol Ruca has had plenty of opportunities and that Jacy should be worried about her ripping the NXT Women's Championship out of her hands. Jacy says that Zaria never gets any opportunities because Sol Ruca has proven herself and is loved by the fans while Zaria is only tolerated. Kendal Gray and Wren Sinclair show up and says it took all three members of Fatal Influence to beat her and wants to run it back with Jacy. Zaria tells Kendal to stay out of her way, but Kendal says she and Wren do not keep secrets from each other.

The crowd chants "AMC," and tells the fans to keep that energy up, for they are "the TNA nation," and it all starts with those three letters: TNA. Styles then starts a "TNA" chant before we see the new opening title sequence.

Santino says that new eyes, new expectations and a lot of pressure are on TNA, but they fought tooth and nail to get to AMC and nothing is going to stop them, as tonight is the start of something incredible. He admits that his focus is a bit off due to Arianna Grace turning on him and says that it is nothing that can be shaken off "like water on the duck," but he must make the best decisions for the company and the fans and he cannot afford to make a mistake. Santino states that the board has decided that he needed a little bit of assistance, and while he was initially reluctant, as soon as he met this person, he knew they could contribute to TNA. That person is none other than former WWE Superstar Sonya Deville, now known as Daria Rae. Santino welcomes Daria to TNA, and Daria says she has been watching from afar and that she considers Santino one of the pillars of TNA for building the foundation week in and week out while keeping a smile on everyone's faces through it all. She says that the one thing this company does not need is Santino, his jokes or his comedic relief; she says the company needs structure and professionalism and that Santino cannot keep his own family in order. Daria says she has been in this position and that she understands television, then proclaims that she can do Santino's job better than he can and tells Santino to stay out of her way before telling the fans to shut up when she is talking, also stating that this is what "S.U.I.T." stands for ("Shut up, I'm talking"). Daria then announces her first order of business in TNA: signing a new Knockout. That Knockout is none other than Elayna Black, formerly Cora Jade in NXT.

She says that she only found out she was not booked in TNA for a while when she called the office instead of through her father, and that Santino has chosen TNA and its fans over her despite being the perfect daughter. She says that she had to carve this path for herself and that she does not need anyone's approval, then says that she stands by Stacks and that there is nothing anybody can do about it.

He says that legends never die; they drift and need someone to carry them and keep the rhythm going.

Vincent says Matt sounds crazy, and Matt says they are more interested in fighting more than mind games. Vincent says they do not want to fight them, and Dutch says they want to grow from The Hardys and make them reach greater heights and potential they never knew existed. Vincent says they want brotherhood, not conflict. Matt says they have all the brotherhood they need and do not need any more from The Righteous, and Jeff says they also have it with the fans as he agrees. Matt says they do not care what The Righteous want and that they want The Righteous out of their lives. Vincent says they just want what is best, but if they refuse their guidance and refuse to make this work, then the cycle will demand something different. Matt says that he and Jeff are only thinking about elevating TNA as it enters a new era.

Eddie says that he knows how crazy JDC can get and that their match will be something the fans will not want to miss. JDC says things are going to get weird at Genesis, but it is not Genesis, and he wants one more match as part of a team. Eddie loves the idea, and when he asks the fans about it, the fans approve.

Jordynne Grace heads to the ring. She talks about coming to NXT after building a reputation around the world, thinking she would win championships like she has always done. She says that this clearly has not happened, and while she knows she has weaknesses that would set her back, she did not expect a brief friendship to set her back. Jordynne says she knows how these "wrestling friendships" pan out and, with there being exceptions to rules, thought she would be the exception. Jordynne admits the adjustment to WWE has been hard and that she has never had someone try to exploit her insecurities and force her to address them publicly. While she was angry at first, Jordynne knows she does not have to prove she is better than Blake Monroe, and instead of revenge, she wants Blake to see herself for who she is. Suddenly, Blake Monroe shows up with a contract and four members of security, stating that she does not want Jordynne to get her redemption, as there is no redemption for the truth. She steps into the ring and , and says that if Jordynne lays so much as one finger on her, their match at Heatwave is off. Blake says she does not need to feel sorry for Jordynne, as Jordynne feels sorry for herself and that is good enough for her. Jordynne tells Blake that while she has been right about a lot of things, this is where she is wrong, as Blake was sitting at ringside while she was in the ring wrestling as "one of the main characters" at Evolution, and states that Blake is jealous of her. She says Evolution was a huge reality check of Blake before calling her "a disgusting snake." Blake says Jordynne cannot control herself and does not have a calm bone in her body, then says that Jordynne is not just an outsider, but "a reject playing a superstar," and now that she has arrived, there is not room for the both of them. As Blake dares Jordynne to hit her, Jordynne says she does not have to hit her to show her what will happen at Heatwave before hitting security instead.

Sarah Schreiber interviews Je'Von Evans for NXT Spotlight. Je'Von says Trick Williams is selfish because he is goofy and knows that he has his number. He says that to be a champion, he has to feel like one, and to get to Oba, he has to get through Trick. Je'Von says Trick is not even locked in; he is trying to be a rapper and "an ugly ass actor" while he is just trying to be a champion.

Ethan says Tavion is getting a big head and biting off more he can chew, as he is still new to the wrestling world, which he says is different from the Olympics. He says that losers are not celebrated and that there is no second or third; there is only gold, and he is holding it. Tavion says he is used to sitting near hard-seasoned veterans who doubted himself until he threw them onto their back. He says that Ethan is foolish for underestimating him and that he is made in the Olympic gods' image, and that he wants what is on Ethan's plate. Chelsea says there is no reason to be disrespectful, even though he is American and Americans are rude, then calls Canada "the superior nation with the superior athletes."

Chelsea calls Tyra Mae "a so-called gold medalist," which Tyra Mae takes offense to, and Chelsea says she is the most dangerous United States Women's Champion. Tyra Mae says her Olympic gold medal represents the best and the fact that she can take Chelsea down anywhere at any time just like she did to The Secret Hervice.
