He says that Santana's "bruised little ego" is in control and not Santana himself, but Santana says Eddie is talking tough for somebody on the other side of the guardrail and dares Eddie to get in the ring and say those words to him like a man. Eddie teases doing that, but then decides not to, saying he has already beaten Santana once tonight and that he will do it again at Rebellion and walk out as World Champion while Santana is known as the man who could not hold it together on the biggest night of his life.

He also brags that he beat Steve Maclin for the TNA International Championship and demands that the fans give him a standing ovation for the next three to five seconds. This leads to a standing ovation as well as a "Frankie Sucks!" chant before Kazarian calls the International Championship the most important title in TNA, and states that while Trick Williams may be World Champion and a star, he is not a king. Kazarian also addresses (and mocks) The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy), calling them "a couple of extreme punch-drunk marks" before addressing (and mocking) Leon Slater, stating that he cannot lead TNA into the future as X Division Champion like he did.

Kelani says she has never a fluke when she was stepped into college athletics, NXT or TNA, and tells Kazarian to name a bigger fluke. Kazarian states that Trick Williams is only champion because he beat Joe Hendry, because if he were world champion, Trick would not have beaten him.

Trick calls Kazarian "a second rate champion in a second rate business," then states that if Mike Santana puts his hands on him unprovoked before Bound for Glory, then their title match at Bound for Glory will be cancelled. Trick states that TNA needs him as they are breaking records and are on fire because of him, not because of The Hardys. Matt Hardy soon shows up. Matt Hardy says some self-esteem issues are happening in the ring and that it seems like Trick and Kazarian are trash-talking TNA to make themselves look better while TNA is on fire because of wrestlers like Santana, Slater, and The Hardys. He also mentions that tonight's show is in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and that Edmonton loves TNA, and no matter how much Trick and Kazarian trash talk TNA, TNA will not die. Kazarian asks where Jeff Hardy is before stating that Jeff is not even allowed in Canada, then wishes he wasn't allowed in "this dump of a country" either before Leon Slater shows up. Slater says he will not sit back and let Kazarian "chat bollocks" and take the piss out of The Hardys, and while Jeff is not here, he is, and he will stand by Matt's side every single day of the week. Kazarian says he only understood six words that he says, and Trick tells Slater to mind his business while grown folks are talking.
