M by Elegance says that since they have the tag team gold, they are the most dominant team in the ring, and that this will not change after Emergence. After Lei Ying Lee speaks in Chinese, Xia Brookside says she has been underestimated and that she and Lei Ying Lee will kick everyone's asses. Jazmyn Nyx says there is a pattern where TNA titles end up on NXT women's waists, and Fallon says NXT is the superior brand and that she and Jazmyn will walk out as Knockouts Tag Team Champions. Cassie says Fatal Influence has been hit in the head one too many times and that they have returned to become tag team champions again. All four teams get in each others' faces, and Santino tells all four teams that they have five seconds to get their aggression out of their systems. All four teams brawl, and Santino calls for security to quickly move in, but it is not long before all of security gets laid out.

In a TNA digital exclusive, Gia Miller interviews Rosemary outside of the building. Rosemary says Indi Hartwell has walked into this realm like she owns it and acts like her road to the Knockouts World Championship is clear, yet they are blind to the dark forces that influence this place, and they have decided to make her even more blind. Rosemary says they are the dark mother and unholy matriarch of the Knockouts division, and demands they be also addressed as gatekeeper.

When Kazarian demands they speak, Maclin takes the microphone from his hand and tells Kazarian to shut up before stating that he and Jake are beyond talking and that they will find out if the International Championship is made for Jake and whether or not Jake is actually something at Emergence. Kazarian takes offense to Maclin taking the microphone from his hand before making fun of Jake Something's name.

Tasha Steelz says she is tired of all of them, stating that nobody is holding championship gold and that Mustafa Ali has went down a downward spiral, and while she made the call to Cedric Alexander to play all of them and have Cedric save her, Order 4 (Mustafa, Skyler, Hotch, Steelz) is what really needs saving. She says that her plan has given Mustafa a marquee match with Cedric. She also tells The Great Hands to worry about their jobs, as they had nothing but now have so many zeroes in their paychecks. After asking where they all were before Order 4, then states that they are going into Slammiversary as a unit. Mustafa tells Steelz that she lied to them, and while Steelz admits this, she also admits that she saved him.

After the match, Tessa accusses Indi of ruining friendships and knowing nothing about loyalty, then syas Indi can copy the look and study the moves, but she has carried her dead weight for years, and if it were not for her, she would still be wrestling in Australia for a meat pie and a handshake.

We see Tom Hannifan's interview with Joe Hendry. Hendry says he has been watching TNA since 2002 and that it pains him that Trick Williams does not appreciate TNA's history, and while Trick cut corners, he takes responsibility for this happening as he lost the TNA World Championship in the first place. He says that Mike Santana will be the guy one day, but what he himself has done in TNA is unprecedented, as he took the World Championship to mainstream places and defending it on a regular basis. Hendry says Santana does not have the experience, and while he will one day be the guy, he is the one to lead TNA. Hendry says the fans made him champion, and now he needs them for his redemption, as none of this would have been possible without them, and he will do what needs to be done at Slammiversary.

Trick Williams guests on commentary for the next match.

Next week, he will be in the teaming up in Champions' Challenge with people "he could not give two shits about" except Trick Williams. He says Trick does not know a thing about TNA because he is TNA and he is one of the few pillars TNA has left. Maclin warns Trick he will be keeping an eye on him to see if he plays fair, because if he does not and he crosses the line, he will not be afraid to drop him on his head for a KIA. He also warns any potential challengers who want to cross the line to remember who is holding that line.

Mance Warner and Steph de Lander. De Lander calls Against All Odds a robbery, as Warner had Steve Maclin beat and they were screwed.

He came with an open mind to put his finger on the pulse of the business, and now he refuses to be pushed around. Stone states that Santino has done absolutely nothing to make TNA a better place, then calls Santino a joke and says he will always be a joke, and that he does not deserve to be in a position of power in TNA. He also states that Santino does not deserve to be in the business, then says it is not about him vs. Santino, but about making wrestling a better place, because when he is in charge, he will fire all the losers and create "real superstars," and make everyone a lot of money. After Stone states that Santino will continue to run TNA into the ground, Santino says he is proud of what he has done and that TNA is rising to the top, and while Stone has a sense of style, he has a sense of what the people want. He considers the fans his family, and that Stone's business acumen does not match up with what TNA has, and that family both sticks and fights together. Tessa Blanchard shows up and attacks Arianna Grace, then also attacks Gia Miller. Masha Slamovich shows up to try to put Victoria through a table, but Tessa stops her.

He thinks they can succeed as a tag team, but warns Slater to watch what both of The Nemeths are doing, as they can take advantage of the match if they do not.

Francis tells "the Nemeth brother that actually matters" that he does not deserve to go after the World title after losing to "that bum" Joe Hendry, and says that their match from last year caused TNA to give him the most lucrative deal in history. He then says that he and Navarro not only want the money, they want the spotlight, and they are sick and tired of old-timers taking the spotlight when this is "the TNAJ Francis era." As Ryan declares that his brother does not deserve to be interrupted, Nic admits that Fir$t Cla$$ had a good year last year, and Ryan says that if they want a match, they will get it, much to Nic's chagrin.

Ash starts thanking all the people who have made her beautiful, and thanks her private Starbucks barista for giving her the energy to deal with the "classless people" in the crowd before personally thanking Iceman.

We see footage of The Northern Armory (Judas Icarus and Travis Williams) attacking Mike Santana last Saturday at Prestige Wrestling.

The Northern Armory ("The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander, Judas Icarus, Travis Williams) heads to the ring. Josh Alexander announces that Mike Santana has been talking tough and claiming that he will take his spot at the standard bearer of TNA, but Santana has sustained an injury and will not be able to face him at Genesis. All of a sudden, Santana comes out of the crowd and does not seem to be injured. Santana makes fun of Alexander's bald head, and says that while Alexander caught him slipping, and says that if Alexander really knew him, he would have known that he would come at him header than ever. He says he has gone through a whole System and The Northern Armory by himself because there is no quit in his blood, and that at Genesis, he and Alexander will have an "I Quit" Match.

Hendry says it is on him to take the World title from Nemeth and start a new era in TNA. Nemeth agrees with Hendry and says everyone still believes in Hendry, then says he knows what the World Championship means and that he does not think Hendry is ready. He says that Hendry has earned his way to the World Championship, then clears the air with footage from Bound For Glory of JBL clotheslining Hendry and punching Ryan Nemeth. He says that anything that happens between himself and John Layfield is on Layfield, and that he had nothing to do with the attack on Hendry that night. Hendry wants to ask one last question when all of a sudden, Ryan Nemeth shows up and tells Nic Nemeth that Hendry is not his friend, but a snake who is trying to get in his head and only caring about himself.

Moose heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Moose says that ever since he became X Division Champion, people have asked him what he will do with the title, and that since he is already a three-time World Champion, he will make the X Division Championship the most important in TNA. He says that "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth is one of the best wrestlers today, yet everybody is talking about and not Nemeth. He calls Joe Hendry the hottest act in wrestling, but he does not have a championship like he does. Moose says that the tag titles are held by the most decorated team in wrestling in The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy), but people are not talking about them because they are too busy chanting his name. He then says he does not need the fans chanting his name or their respect and support, for when he is done with the X Division, he will go down as the greatest X Division Champion of all time. Suddenly, Cody Deaner shows up and tells Moose to shut his mouth, as the fans helped him find his way and his love for professional wrestling when he let them make decisions for him. Moose calls the fans "imbeciles" and "idiots," and says that since Deaner has started listening to them, he has not won a match. Deaner says he can win a match with the people behind him and even beat Moose for the X Division Championship. Moose laughs and says this will be the easiest decision ever before booting Deaner in the face and calling him for a ref.

Moose retains the TNA X Division Championship against Cody Deaner.

PCO wishes us a happy Halloween.

Frankie Kazarian heads to the ring dressed like Joe Hendry and even comes out to his theme to mock him to start tonight's show. Kazarian fakes a Scottish accent as he mocks Hendry for not winning the TNA World Championship, saying "We believe in losing," and that he is "an idiot who became a viral sensation whose fifteen minutes of fame is over" before the real Hendry shows up. Hendry chases Kazarian out of the ring and gives him credit where credit is due and congratulates him for "finally entertaining after 47 years" and finally getting into the World title match. He then says that Kazarian tried to take something away from him and the fans, but no matter what Kazarian does, the fans will chant that they believe, and no matter what conspiracy Kazarian comes up with, he knows that he, John Layfield and "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth were in on it. Nemeth says he and Hendry went toe-to-toe and took it to the limit even though outside forces got involved and that he believed in Hendry, and that he did not know what Layfield did until after the match, and all he saw was Layfield punching his brother, "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth. He says that he wanted to see if Hendry could take him to the limit and that Hendry deserves a rematch after all that, and that he has went to Director of Authority Santino Marella to make the match only for Santino to deny his request. As Nemeth says that the system is flawed, The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, JDC) and Tasha Steelz suddenly shows up, and Eddie Edwards says that Nemeth cannot possibly be more wrong, saying The System runs TNA. JDC tells the fans to shut up, then Nemeth wants to know where Moose, Brian Myers and their titles are before entertaining the idea of teaming up with Hendry against The System tonight. Kazarian butts in and proposes a six-man tag match with him as their partner while he continues to mock Hendry only to receive a Superkick from Nemeth and a Standing Ovation from Hendry.

Alisha Edwards and Tasha Steelz are still in the ring after the commercial break.

She also says she does not care if she faces Alisha or Tasha, as she is looking for a fight tonight. Tasha goes for the first strike, but Masha fights her. Alisha strikes Masha from behind, but Masha goes after her. It is not long before Alisha and Tasha gang up on her.

Alexander says he embarrassed Steve Maclin at Bound For Glory and did it all by himself, then says he is in a bad mood because The Northern Armory (Alexander, Judas Icarus, Travis Williams) is not complete because Judas Icarus and Travis Williams were turned around at American customs. He blames TNA for this, saying they stooged them off when The Northern Armory is TNA and is here to take over. Alexander then says he got help from two good hands, and if The Good Hands do well tonight, there will be more for them in the future.

Eric Young, Jonathan Gresham and Steve Maclin beat "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander and The Good Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch) after Alexander walks out on The Good Hands and the match.

The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Moose, JDC) soon shows up, and Moose says they will erase everything that happened to them from the TNA archives as The System does not lose, much to Speedball's amusement. Moose then says The System has more success in their fanny packs than Speedball will ever have, then Moose challenges Speedball for the X Division Championship. Speedball accepts the challenge.

Ash By Elegance beats Dani Luna when personal concierge George Iceman holds on to Ash from the outside, distracting the referee so that Heather By Elegance can hit Luna with Ash's witch's broom. Sada Baby is seen in the crowd during the match.

Léi Ying Lee beats Maggie Moore. After the match, Savannah Evans, who has not been seen in TNA in months, suddenly shows up and hits Léi Ying Lee with a big boot followed by a full nelson slam as she tells Léi Ying that it is her time and not Léi Ying's.

Santino tells Hendry that he will have to work his way back to World title contention from the bottom, then Hendry says that if Ryan wants to mouth off at him, then he cannot think of anyone lower to start with than him. After Ryan and Nic leave, Santino tells Hendry that he still believes, but at this point, Hendry is frustrated.

Here are the must-see moments from tonight's show!

Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for October 10, 2024

Masha Slamovich, Sol Ruca and Jordynne Grace beat Rosemary, Wendy Choo and Tasha Steelz in a six-woman tag match.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander and Sinner and Saint (Judas Icarus and Travis Williams). Alexander says Steve Maclin and Eric Young would not have had what happened if they stayed out of his business, and says they got in his business just to be relevant again. He says that they have done anything noteworthy of late and that they are the past while he looks to the future, which is why he recruited Sinner and Saint, as they have a killer instinct that Young and Maclin do not have and they are the future. Alexander says that the three of them - "The Northern Armory" - will wipe the floor with the TNA locker room.

"The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth heads to the ring. Nemeth says he is feeling good tonight because he loves being the TNA World Champion, and due to recent events, he knows that the main event of Bound For Glory is his title defense against Joe Hendry. Due to Nemeth saying his name, Hendry shows up, then says that this match is not another viral song release or post, but an eleven-year journey to become a world champion, and he gets to face a champion like Nic Nemeth. He says that Nemeth has been champion everywhere he goes, and calls him one of the best to ever lace up a pair of boots, then says that the fans are chanting "We Believe." Nemeth says a lot of people believe in Joe Hendry, who he says has done it the right way, and appreciates the kind words. He says that even Shawn Michaels believes in Hendry, and says that while legends believe in Hendry, John Layfield believes in Ziggler. When Hendry asks how John Layfield will figure into their match, Nemeth says he should worry more about him than Layfield, as he does not plan on losing the World Championship any time soon. Suddenly, Fir$t Cla$$ (AJ Francis and KC Navarro) shows up, and AJ Francis says he and KC Navarro are confused, as they are the event of Bound For Glory, as they are nothing but money. He then says that all the fans in "Trashville, Tennessee" are "country bumpkins," but they still made the show and that he made Joe Hendry, as Joe was "a C+ player" "on the pre-show" before he showed up. After telling the fans to shut up and says that they believe barbeque sauce is toothpaste, he says the fans only started believing when Hendry sang his songs about him. Hendry plays dumb at first before mentioning the songs targeting AJ Francis. AJ Francis says he expected this from Hendry, then says he was here to talk to Nemeth, who he used to have respect for, and states that whatever the event is, Fir$t Cla$$ is always "the perpetual main event." AJ Francis says he expected this from Hendry, then says he was here to talk to Nemeth, who he used to have respect for, and states that whatever the event is, Fir$t Cla$$ is always "the perpetual main event." Nemeth says that he is famously a nice guy and respects what Fir$t Cla$$ has done, and if he could find somebody who could be a tag team partner of his, he would love to prove it to him. Hendry volunteers as only he can, then Director of Authority Santino Marella arrives. Santino likes the idea of a tag team match between both parties and makes it official for tonight.

Backstage, Ash by Elegance and personal concierge George Iceman find out that they have to give Heather Reckless an extreme makeover, and after initially being horrified over what they have to work with, they soon become a lot more enthusiastic.

We then find out that Steve Maclin has been attacked and has had his hands ziptied behind his back backstage as officials look for medical help. Alexander then gets a metal folding chair, wraps it around Eric Young, and Pillmanizes Eric Young with a knee drop from the rope while Icarus and Williams hold Eric Young down.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Jordynne Grace as she looks for Masha Slamovich backstage. They both soon find a red-lit room with photos of the women's division crossed out, and the only photo not crossed out is Jordynne's.

Mike Santana heads to the ring. Santana addresses Moose as he says he is sick and tired of having to deliver his message to a camera every week, for where he comes from, people meet face-to-face and put their hands to work just like when he stormed into The System's locker room. He says that he did not expect to come out of that the same, and that he does what he does with intent and purpose, and he wants Moose to know that just when he thinks he is safe, he will come for him at ever angle and turn his world upside-down. Santana then proclaims that when he cost him his purpose of going to Slammiversary for the World title, all he did was create a new purpose: make The System's lives a living hell. Santana then calls Moose out, and Moose shows up and says that after what Santana pulled, he got the best security money could buy in Nashville, Tennessee. He then brings out a few security guards to stand between him and the ring. Moose says that Santana only thinks he is a tough guy and that he is "nothing but a dumbass." Santana tells Moose that he sounds ridiculous due to his sneak attacks, and says Moose is nothing more than "a baby boy bitch." He also says he can smell Moose's fear from the ring and that Moose has every right to fear him, because at one point, he was him, and they have both witnessed the same struggles and had to create something from nothing. Santana says the only difference is that he still walks the same blocks with the same people he grew up, and that he paid the price to get to where he is now, while Moose has forgotten who he is and where he came from. He then dares Moose to get in the ring with him without the security and prove he is the face of the franchise. Moose says he forgot where he came from, and since Santana has been gone, he became a three-time world champion and he did it on his own. Moose says he could beat up Santana right now, then says that when you are good at something, you do not do it for free. He says he is a prizefighter, and if he is going to pick a fight with Santana, he will want a big cut of the money. After he calls Santana a failure from the projects, Santana is attacked from behind by the rest of The System (Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, JDC). Suddenly, ABC ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and Chris Bey) and The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) - whose match is supposed to be up next - show up and fight both The System and Moose's security, and clean house. Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up and makes Moose vs. Mike Santana official for Bound For Glory, then tells The System to keep their eyes on the next match, as it has serious Bound For Glory implications.

ABC ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and Chris Bey) vs. The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) ends with The System (Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers) attacking both teams.

Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for September 19, 2024

Alisha Edwards shows up to start tonight's show and calls what happened to The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha, Brian Myers, Moose) at Victory Road "a travesty," as she is no longer a champion in TNA. She says that if it were not for "Masha Slamo-witch," she would still be champion. She also says that if Masha Slamovich thought she would embarrass her in front of the world, then she has another thing coming. Masha shows up, and Alisha says that Masha cannot do anything to her because she is under concussion protocol. Alisha then says she is the brains of the team and that Masha is nothing without her, and that Masha does not understand a word she is saying because she cannot speak English. Masha takes the microphone and speaks to Alisha in Russian, then says - in English - that she understands perfectly and that she is sick of hearing her voice and that she is sick of her, just like the fans. Suddenly, Masha is attacked from behind by Tasha Steelz, but Tasha fights back until she is struck from behind with a shinai by Alisha. Tasha Steelz gets her turn with the shinai when Jordynne Grace suddenly shows up and blocks the shinai with the Knockouts World title. Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers soon show up, but so do The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy). The System (Eddie, Myers, Alisha) and Tasha Steelz get out of dodge as Masha, Jordynne and The Hardys stand tall in the ring, then Director of Authority Santino Marella arrives. Santino makes a six-person tag match between The System and the team of Masha Slamovich and The Hardys, then Arianna Grace shows up and makes a tag match with Jordynne and Karmen Petrovic against the team of Wendy Choo and Rosemary for next week.

Backstage, Eric Young speaks with "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander. Young says he has been in Alexander's position and has danced with the devil in the pale moonlight, and that they both look at the business in the same way. He says it is about respect and that the young guys are watching his every move, then tells Alexander that this is bigger that he is and that he needs to think about what he is doing and take it seriously, as he is a leader here.

Backstage, Masha Slamovich is met by Jordynne Grace, who says that she has wanted her to answer one of her open challenges for the Knockouts World Championship. Masha says they will be seeing each other pretty soon, but for now, she has other business. She then knocks on The Hardys' dressing room door to thank them, and reveals that she has met them as a kid and never thought she would team with them. Matt Hardy says that they have had dreams turn into realities themselves and says that they need to get ready for their match against The System tonight.

Fir$t Cla$$ (AJ Francis and KC Navarro) beats Sinner and Saint (Judas Icarus and Travis Williams).

Backstage, Mike Santana shows up with a barbed wire baseball bat, saying he has dug out of holes his entire life and that he wants to see if JDC is willing to walk through the fire, as he will baptize him in his own blood.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews "Speedball" Mike Bailey. Speedball says it feels great to become X Division Champion again after one of the greatest matches in TNA history, and says that the X Division is the most competitive division in all of wrestling and that one must be the best of the best to keep the title. He calls Leon Slater and KUSHIDA two of the best in the world and that they will all have a championship match that they will not soon forget.

In post-show footage from Victory Road, Steph de Lander tells PCO that he will get his hands on Matt Cardona eventually and that he will have to be patient.

Rhino beats Matt Cardona by disqualification after Cardona hits Rhino with a chair that Rhino introduces into the ring. Afterwards, Cardona grabs the chair again only for the lights to go out, and when they come back on, PCO is in the ring, and he hits Cardona with a choke slam. Cardona then goes up top, but Cardona retreats. PCO then attacks the chair and even hits it with a PCO-Sault, and Cardona cannot believe what he is seeing as PCO keeps punching the chair with a ground and pound.

Before the next match, NXT-TNA Liaison Adrianna Grace congratulates Spitfire on winning the Knockouts Tag Team titles and says she has been watching the Knockouts division, and that she wants them to defend against new competition.

We see another vignette for Lei Ying Lee (formerly Xia Li in WWE), who is debuting next week.

Joe Hendry heads to the ring. Hendry says that this year has been a rollercoaster for him, but Victory Road was special, as he made a statement when he faced the very best in "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander and beat him. He says that he tapped Alexander out, then talks about how he had a goal to be the TNA World Champion when he came to TNA, and while he has had a huge amount of support, there are some in the back who do not want him to be successful. Hendry then says that does not matter, as fans around the world have chanted "We Believe," because no matter how much people try to hold him down, the audience lifted him up. As he says that he has a feeling that they will lift him up to the TNA World Championship, Frankie Kazarian suddenly shows up. Kazarian says the fans could not lift their own bellies to find their own genitals, much less Joe Hendry, and says that Hendry only beat Alexander because he had "a loaded weapon stuffed in his crotch." He then says that fans become sick of one-hit wonders and that he is sick of Hendry, his voice that makes him sound like "a cross between Shrek and Groundskeeper Willie" and Director of Authority Santino Marella protecting him. Kazarian then proclaims that if anyone is worthy of a shot at the TNA World Championship, it is him, as he believes in Frankie Kazarian. He also says that if "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth is any kind of man, he will show up in the ring and grant him his title shot. Nic Nemeth suddenly shows up, and Kazarian shows astonishment at Nemeth's appearance. Kazarian tells Nemeth that he scouted him at Victory Road and that he is taking his championship, but Nemeth tells Kazarian to shut up before congratulating Hendry on his Victory Road and that he has his eye on him before shaking his hand. Nemeth then addresses Kazarian, telling him to take his sunglasses off while indoors before telling him that the TNA World Championship is the only crown that matters and that this is as close as he will get to it.

Here are the highlights from tonight's show!

Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for September 12, 2024

Steve Maclin beats Hammerstone with a schoolkid pin. After the match, Hammerstone attacks Maclin from behind and puts him in the Torture Rack, but Eric Young runs to the ring and makes the save. Jake Something then shows up and stands alongside Hammerstone outside of the ring.

We hear from The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose, JDC). Eddie says everyone was praying for them to fail, but they got a "System reboot," and Myers says everyone saw what the reboot was all about. He says that they will annihilate The Hardys on their way to Victory Road. JDC says they are hungry and that they will forget their manners. Moose says that Alisha will still be queen of the Knockouts, JDC will still be a loose cannon, Myers will become a three-time tag team champion, Eddie will continue to be a legend, and he will be a four-time World Champion.

Backstage, Steve Maclin says that Eric Young showed him respect at Emergence, then Eric Young shows up. Maclin thanks Eric Young for having his back, then Eric Young says respect is a two-way street and that they will show Hammerstone and Jake Something that it is about the size of the fight in the dog at Victory Road.

Heather Reckless beats "The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw. (The match is Gisele's last for TNA before heading to Scott D'Amore's revival of Maple Leaf Wrestling.) During the match, Ash By Elegance and personal concierge George Iceman show up to watch from ringside, and during the match, George Iceman distracts the referee so that Ash By Elegance can hit Gisele Shaw in the eye, allowing Heather to hit Wrecked for the win.

We see another vignette of the female wrestler, formerly known as Xia Li in WWE.

Matt Cardona heads to the ring, and demands that Steph de Lander head to the ring with him. Cardona takes the microphone from Steph before she can say much, then says it is obvious that Director of Authority Santino Marella has it out for him, as he has come back from a life-threatening injury only to be in a tag match with Rhino and PCO on his first match back. He says this is an unsafe working environment, then says he can pick his own tag team partner. He then introduces his tag team partner for Victory Road as none other than Steph de Lander. Cardona insists that Steph does not commit any funny business, because if she does not do as he says, he will send her back to Australia. Suddenly, PCO shows up and heads to the ring. Steph kicks Cardona in the groin, then PCO hits Cardona with a choke slam before hugging Steph.

Backstage, Spitfire (Jody Threat and Dani Luna) is met by Gia Miller.

Dani Luna says that they may need everything on the line to prove that they have the heart to win the Knockouts Tag Team titles.

ABC ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and Chris Bey) beat Fir$t Cla$$ (AJ Francis and KC Navarro) in a Tornado Match.

We see a vignette for Jonathan Gresham regarding Gresham's octopus mask as well as his shedding of it.

Joe Hendry heads to the ring. Joe Hendry wants to know if Josh Alexander lives by the mantra of "Say his name and he appears," then calls him out for what he did to him. Alexander shows up in the upper seats, saying it is for Hendry's safety, and tells him to go ahead and play what funny video he has of him. We then see a music video where Joe Hendry makes fun of Josh Alexander and the fact that he never smiles before calling him "Kurt Angle from Wish." An angry Alexander says he has nothing to smile about and that he should be the one in NXT snapping ankles and dropping people on his heads while , but they picked the one guy who can't back it up when the bell rings. He then says he traveled the world for two decade and did everything the right way only for Joe Hendry to steal his thunder and take opportunities from him with a few videos that went viral. He then says that if Hendry wants to see him smile, he will not be able to see it after he destroys him at Victory Road and the fans start chanting for him again. Hendry, seeing that Alexander is frustrated, notes that he saw a sign earlier saying "Walking Weiner." This starts a "Walking Weiner" chant. Alexander tells Hendry he has dug his own grave a little bit deeper and that he will end him at Victory Road once and for all so the fans can see what a real professional wrestler looks like. Hendry says he has also traveled the world and made believers out of people, and says that Alexander sounds like all of his critics. He also says the fans will chant that they believe even louder when he beats Alexander at Victory Road.

Backstage, Jordynne Grace meets with Arianna Grace, saying that she and Karmen Petrovic are welcome here, but Wendy Choo is not. Arianna says Wendy is not in the building and promises that nothing will happen to Jordynne at Victory Road, but Jordynne is skeptical, saying that promises mean something in TNA as opposed to NXT.

We hear from Mike Santana, who says that everybody knows where he has been and what he has done and that his sights are set on the World Championship and Victory Road. He says "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth has taken the World Championship all over the world, but he hopes that Moose wins the world title, as it will be another thing that he takes from Moose along with his pride and dignity when he makes him suffer.

Before the next match, personal concierge George Iceman makes fun of the fans for being fat and toothless before telling them that they will be witnessing history and introducing Ash By Elegance.

Ash By Elegance beats Xia Brookside after personal concierge gets on the ring apron to beg Brookside off. This allows Brookside to avoid another Meteora to the back of the neck, and also allows Heather Reckless to suddenly show up and pull Brookside by the arm to ram her shoulder into the ring post, giving Ash the win.

We hear from "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth, who says that Moose had his chance to look him in the eye and blew it when he took to social media to complain. He says words do not hurt him, but they seem to hurt Moose, and that he has been in the ring with Moose's heroes and that there is only one way to go at Victory Road: him kicking Moose in the face as hard as he can. He says Moose was the best, but now he is the rest, and he is the one getting the victory while Moose just gets the road.

Backstage, Ash By Elegance checks herself in the mirror when she finds out Heather Reckless is behind her. Personal concierge George Iceman likes Heather's attitude, but not her wardrobe, and Ash finds Heather's actions interesting. George Iceman then hands Heather his number if she wants a personal makeover.

The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) beat The System (Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers).
