McIntyre says he now only looks forward, as back then, he was known as "The Chosen One," but failed when he just expected opportunity to come to him and stopped working hard. When he left WWE, he knew this was his responsibility, and if he had to succeed, he had to work hard. As he grew, the business grew with him, as everyone sacrificed to get that much better, and this is why he signed with NXT. McIntyre says everyone works together to get better...all except for one Bobby Roode. McIntyre sees nothing but entitlement in Roode's eyes, and says nobody owes him a thing. He says this is the people's NXT. Everyone rises to their feet as McIntyre tells Roode that "We are NXT."

Jarrett appears first with his wife, Karen, followed by Dixie. Both sides are allowed a few words, starting with Dixie.

She's at the table for TNA, the fans and the roster that she's willing to invest in, and signs her contract.

Jeff says that the first dollar invested in TNA was his, and he has the right to be at the table.

He plans to send Dixie Carter back to the outside of the wrestling business looking in, then signs his contract.

Suddenly, Rockstar Spud appears and talks about how the current situation looks familiar, and says he'd wear the suit Hardy is wearing if it didn't have EC3's face on it. He says he came to EC3 for a job in TNA and did everything he had to do, but reminds him that his new personal assistant is, of course, Jeff Hardy, and says that he's garbage compared to Hardy.

Jeff and Karen Jarrett shows up with various members of the Global Force Wrestling roster. The stars of GFW square off against the stars of TNA!

Jeff and Karen Jarrett enter the ring to start the show. He is surprised by what has transpired since the phone call from Dixie Carter. He talks about his founding of Global Force Wrestling, and how it is competition at the highest level...which is what tonight will be like now that he is in charge.

EY says he doesn't care about the fans or Jarrett; he only cares about himself. He calls himself the King of the World, saying he beat Kurt Angle twice and took Chris Melendez's leg off because he felt like it. He then demands he play promoter and make a match between him and Jarrett for the King of the Mountain title, with every intention of taking the title as well as Jarrett's dignity and career. Jarrett says he doesn't work for him, and he damn sure doesn't work for EY. He says that the King of the Mountain is neither a GFW or a TNA title, and that the first-ever interpromotional King of the Mountain match is tonight. He gives EY a spot in it, then leaves. EY attacks Jarrett as soon as Jarrett turns his back. Members of the GFW chase EY out of the ring, and EY is joined by some TNA wrestlers. Men from both sides brawl against each other.

Bobby Roode is here. He says that to say that things are getting crazy around here is an understatement. There are a lot of unanswered questions with a lot of unknowns around here, and he's frustrated. Roode is also frustrated that he wasn't even considered for tonight's King of the Mountain match, and says if Jarrett has a problem with it, he should say it to his face. He also calls out Rockstar Spud for ending Austin Aries' TNA career last week, and Spud shows up. He says that that match is proof that anybody can come in and beat anybody at any time. Roode then sarcastically thanks him for a job well done. Spud says he'd never thought he'd be in the same ring as Roode and that Roode could be such a condescending prick. After talking about all the times he's proved people wrong, from becoming a wrestler to facing Kurt Angle to beating Austin Aries and ending his TNA career, and how he's been an underdog his entire life, he tells Roode that unlike other "little guys," this little guy fights back. Roode tells Spud he's right, but says that if he was in the ring with Spud and not Aries, he'd make sure he'd end Spud's career, and he'll take his aggression out on anybody that he likes. Spud then get the first shot on Roode, but Roode gets the upper hand and beats Spud up, hitting him with the microphone, throwing him into the steel steps and choking him with own jacket before putting him in the Crossface.

He goes on to make fun of Matt Hardy's loss to him and says that he will be world champion here, now and forever. Matt Hardy shows up and congratulates EC3 for beating him in a match that he and brother Jeff Hardy made into a TNA specialty, but tells EC3 that he is not going away as long as he is champion. EC3 admits that nobody has ever hit him as hard as when Hardy leg dropped him through the table, but he can't decide if he gets another shot at the World championship and lets the fans do it. The fans want it, and Hardy wants it, but EC3 ultimately says no and Tyrus clocks Hardy before holding him down so EC3 can hit him with the World title.
