Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for October 29, 2026

M by Elegance retains the TNA Knockouts Television Championship against Jada Stone despite Mr. Elegance quitting when Heather wants him to hand the Knockouts Television title over to her for use as a weapon.



We hear from The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Bear Bronson, Cedric Alexander). Cedric Alexander says he has Amazing Red one-on-one and is taking back the X-Division Championship. Eddie Edwards calls Cedric the best X-Division wrestler in the world and says he will become the new champion. Bear Bronson confronts Eddie, thinking that he will leave Cedric on his own, and Myers says this is Cedric's decision. Cedric says he will bring the X-Division title back to the system. Bronson thinks Eddie has made a big mistake.

Backstage, Daria Rae is met by Brian Johnson. Daria Rae finds out from Brian Johnson himself that he has been hired by TNA, not as a wrestler, but as the Board of Director's eyes and ears in case Daria Rae gets physical with the talent again. Daria Rae says that she will call the Board of Directors and get him rid of.

Special Agent Zero, now known as just Zer0, beats BDE. After the match, Zer0 hits another choke bomb, then Rich Swann slides into the ring only to eat a choke bomb, too. When security gets in the ring, Zer0 decimates them. Two more members of security run to the ring, but think better of it when Zer0 sees them.



Backstage, we hear from Ricky Sosa, who says that he has proven why he belongs in TNA and now wants to prove he is one of the best in the world. He announces that he will be part of the World X Cup representing Belgium. Fabian Aichner shows up and says he will be in the World X Cup as well, representing Italy, and while he respects Ricky Sosa, there will be no alliance or mercy if and when they cross paths in the ring. Sosa says that he will be the one winning the World X Cup.

We hear from Shotzi Blackheart, who asks if you have been so obsessed with something that nothing would stop you from getting it. She says that for the last year-and-a-half, she has been obsessed with the Knockouts Championship, going from watching it to entertaining being there to finding out that everyone is as tough as they look. She says that the thinks about some of the best matches in Knockouts history - as well as the Undead Realm - when she thinks about the division.

Amazing Red retains the TNA X-Division Championship against Cedric Alexander. The match is Amazing Red's first match on TNA iMPACT! since 2012, when he was under a mask as Sangriento.



Backstage, Elayna Black finds Heather by Elegance. When Heather says that M is on a photo shoot without her, Elayna asks Heather how long she will let M treat her like she does, knowing that Heather wants the Knockouts Television title, too.

As per the TNA Injury Report: BDE is experiencing back issues after tonight's match and is in evaluation. Mustafa Ali has not been medically cleared following his two-out-of-three falls match from last week, and his status beyond this evening is uncertain. TNA medical staff is bracing for The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) and Syx (Joseph Sawyer and Samuel Shaw) to get seriously hurt in their Slaughterhouse Syx match.

We hear from Indi Hartwell, who looks back on winning the TNA Knockouts World Championship and also looks towards the future as she writes in a journal. She writes that it will not be easy being champion and to remember this moment.

Zoey Serrano suddenly attacks a member of ringside security, then "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler says that Daria Rae hired to her to face Indi Hartwell for the Knockouts World Championship at Destination X. She says that Indi's championship reign will be a nightmare and that she will haunt it.

We hear from Harley Hudson and The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch). The Righteous want an answer from Harley Hudson, and next week, The Righteous invite Harley to stand beside them and become one of the many. Harley says "I accept."

Backstage, we hear from Fire 'n Flava (Kiera Hogan and Tasha Steelz). Kiera Hogan calls Allie dead weight and says she had to drop her to upgrade. Tasha Steelz says that if Shotzi Blackheart or anybody wants to get in their business, then she will learn the hard way not to mess with them. She then challenges Shotzi and Allie to face them.

Before the next match, Expressions makes fun of nobody wanting to live in "The Peanut Capital of the World" Dothan, Alabama due to everyone being allergic to peanuts before introducing AJ Francis for the next match.

AJ Francis beats John Skyler after Francis shoves Skyler into Mila Moore as both Mila Moore and Expressions are both on the ring apron, which constantly distracts Skyler to the point that Francis gets the win.



Backstage, Bear Bronson confronts Eddie Edwards and wants to know if Eddie has gone soft after Cedric Alexander's loss. Bear Bronson then challenges Eddie Edwards to a match, saying he is sick of how The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Bear Bronson, Cedric Alexander) is doing things, and if he wins, he calls the shots in The System. Eddie says that if he wins, Bear Bronson will fall back in line.

Backstage, Brian Johnson is met by Daria Rae, who reveals that she cannot suspend or fire Johnson. Daria says that Johnson will see how things really work in TNA, and notes Johnson is desperate for a job in the company. Johnson says he is a company man and would do anything to keep a job here. Daria Rae finds this "interesting" and leaves.

Leon Slater heads to the ring. Slater says his life has been a dream since winning the TNA World Championship and remembers when his life was "not so dreamy" and looked more like a nightmare, especially with an absent father. Slater says he could have strayed down a wrong path to go to the right place, his mother and sister always believed in him and sacrificed. He says that his mother drove him all over the country just so he could train and be in front of the fans today, and that he would pay that debt off and make it more than worth it, and now, as TNA World Champion, he is paying that debt off. Slater says that with the X-Division Championship, he laid the blueprint for what he wants his World Championship reign to be, and that brings him to Trey Miguel and Destination X. He feels that he got off on the wrong foot with Trey Miguel last week, and asks Trey to come to the ring, which Trey does. Slater says that he and Trey are more similar than either of them have imagined, as they have been through a lot yet keep on fighting, then says this is where the similarities end, as Trey has never been World Champion. Slater says he is not looking past Trey or taking him lightly and knows that Trey will pose a challenge, and while he belongs the world can belong to him, there is no shame in losing in a match that last forever, and it cannot be his until he is done first. Trey says Slater is right about their similarities and notes that they have fought for everything they have, but notes Slater's age and says he has fought a lot longer, and that it has been years since he has a World title shot. Trey says he does not know if and when he will have another World title shot, and that he has had to stand on his own for the past year. Slater says that he and the people he loves have gotten what they wanted, and that he wants the same. He says he will fight until he meets that light at the end of the tunnel and finally becomes World Champion, then shakes hands with Slater.



Elijah beats "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth. After the match, "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth runs into the ring and attacks Elijah before checking on Ryan, but Elijah gets back in the ring. Nic gets away, and Elijah smacks Ryan in the head with his guitar.



Backstage, Mustafa Ali meets with Frankie Kazarian and tells him that Avery Styles will stab him in the back as he uses Kazarian to stab him in the back, just like how Order 4 (John Skyler, Jason Hotch, Tasha Steelz, Special Agent Zero, Mila Moore) stabbed him in the back. Kazarian does not want to hear any of this, but Mustafa Ali says "We'll see what happens."

Syx (Joseph Sawyer and Samuel Shaw) beat The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) in a Slaughterhouse Syx match after locking Matt Hardy in an empty room before taking out Jeff Hardy, putting a trash can over him and hitting the trash can with axes.



Here are the top ten moments from tonight's show!



Thursday, October 8, 2026

Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for October 8, 2026

The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) head to the ring to start tonight's show. The band Primer 55 is seen in the front row. Matt Hardy says that The Hardys have the opportunity to step into the main event and win tag team gold in their championship rematch, which he calls "The Nemeths' ("The Wanted Man" Nic and "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth) worst nightmare." Jeff proclaims that when they beat The Nemeths for the tag team titles, the titles will be back where they belong with them. Matt says that Syx (Joseph Sawyer and Samuel Shaw) does not respect them or TNA and not only want to beat The Hardys, but end them. He then says that when they win the tag team titles, they will put the titles on the line at Bound For Glory against Syx to prove that they are unkillable and that they own them. Jeff then dares Syx to come out and try if they believe they can kill The Hardys. The Nemeths show up, and Nic Nemeth asks why The Hardys cannot die and that they are looking at "a couple of tens" instead of Syx. Ryan says they are the best brother tag team and that The Hardys will not make it to Bound For Glory. Matt tells The Nemeth to enjoy their last moments with the tag team titles, for The Hardys are taking the titles from them and Leon Slater is taking the TNA World Championship from Nic. Nic says that the fans will get a reality check tonight and that Leon Slater will learn that being the best and not being full of potential is what wins championships. Leon Slater shows up and says The Nemeths are "talking bollocks" and that the fans cannot wait for The Hardys to win the tag team titles tonight. Nic says that is because Slater is an idiot. Slater reminds Nic of the beating Ryan got when he tried to sneak attack him, and proclaims that after the tag team titles are out of the way, he will become World Champion. Nic laments the no-physicality clause, and Slater dares Ryan to "give it a go" before saying the rules is saving Nic, not him. Slater then proclaims that when he wins the TNA World Championship, Nic will be learning why he is called "The Youngest in Charge," then he and Matt Hardy come to the agreement that The Nemeths are getting deleted tonight.



Backstage, Allie and Kiera Hogan nearly get into a physical confrontation stopped by security with Zoey Serrano when Serrano bumps into Allie and Kiera as they head to the ring.

Backstage, Moose issues an open challenge to go one-on-one with the number one guy in TNA at Bound For Glory, and states that whoever accepts will find out why he is "The Face of the Franchise."

Allie and Kiera Hogan beat Ki Vibez and Alex Gracia after Gracia inadvertently hits Ki Vibez. After the match, Allie calls out Zoey Serrano, as does Kiera, and Kiera tells Serrano to find whoever she can, as the Knockouts Tag Team titles will be on the line at Bound For Glory and they are kicking Serrano's ass.

Backstage, Frankie Kazarian talks strategy with Avery Styles before the next match.

The Home Town Man, Brian Myers, Joe Alonzo and AJ Francis beat Frankie Kazarian, Elijah, Trey Miguel and Bear Bronson in a random draw Call Your Shot Gauntlet eight-man tag match. Francis hits Trey with the TFL, but Alonzo steals the pin; as per pre-match stipulation, Alonzo enters the Call Your Shot Gauntlet Match at #20 while Trey will enter the match at #1.



We hear from The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch), who meet with Harley Hudson regarding the Call Your Shot Gauntlet Match. Harley says she can take care of herself, but The Righteous ask her what it would be like if she did not have to worry. Harley then asks what would happen if it came down to the three of them.

As per the TNA Injury Report: Indi Hartwell suffered multiple injuries last week, and as a precaution, she is out for tonight, but will be cleared in time for Bound For Glory. Mila Moore was injured following Special Agent Zero's choke bomb last week; Moore has been instructed to take it easy and proceed with caution while recovering. The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) are medically cleared to compete tonight despite the beating given to them by Syx (Joseph Sawyer and Samuel Shaw) and are determined to fight through the pain to win the tag team titles.

Backstage, Mustafa Ali holds the final meeting of Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, Jason Hotch, John Skyler, Tasha Steelz, Special Agent Zero, Mila Moore). Mustafa mentions there is a no-contact clause before the "Order 4-Way" and that once the line is crossed, there is no coming back. He tells everyone that this is their last chance to fall in line, and says that if anyone has anything to say to him, now is the time. Hotch says Mustafa crossed the line a long time ago by messing with his family, and that his only regret is putting Mustafa in the hospital instead of in a grave. He turns his badge in. Skyler says he was the most loyal member of Order 4 from day one and he considered everyone in it his family, but now, he has a new family in Mila Moore. He also tells Mustafa he finds him "an obnoxious, overbearing asshole" before turning his badge in. Tasha says there is a lot that she and Special Agent Zero want to say, but they showed exactly how they felt last week, and that the sacrifices that she and Zero made time after time to ensure Mustafa stayed victorious were in vain and that everyone will fall at Bound For Glory when Zero is the new International Champion. Tasha and Zero turn their badges in. Mustafa says that everyone are "ungrateful swine" and "pigs" and that only their mothers knew who they were before they showed up, then says he will end everyone at Bound For Glory when he destroys what he created, and that now and forever, it is "In Ali I Trust." Mustafa shoves the International Championship on top of all the badges.



Elayna Black vs. M by Elegance for the TNA Knockouts Television Championship ends in a ten-minute time limit draw when Elayna Black cannot pin M by Elegance in time following the Blackout. M by Elegance retains the TNA Knockouts Television Championship. (As per pre-match stipulation, The Elegance Brand [The Personal Concierge George Iceman, Heather by Elegance, Mr. Elegance] are banned from ringside for this match.)



Backstage, Ricky Sosa addresses Eddie Edwards. He says that their match at Bound For Glory is not just another match for him; this is his biggest match in his career, as Eddie has done it all in TNA and is a legend in the company. He says this is his time and that he has come to prove why he is belong, and while he respects everything Eddie has done, he does not fear him, and he will beat him at Bound For Glory.

Backstage, we hear from Eddie Edwards. Eddie says Ricky Sosa is saying all the right things, but they are just words, and when they get in the ring, Sosa will look in his eyes and see someone who belongs in TNA. He says he does not see the same in Sosa's eyes, and that every bullet in the chamber is what it will take for Sosa to prove that he belongs. If Sosa wants to walk out of Bound For Glory, he must be ready to put down "the veteran saint of TNA."

Cedric Alexander guests on commentary for the next match.

Fabian Aichner beats KC Navarro.



Backstage, Zoey Serrano makes a call to someone regarding the Knockouts Tag Team Championship open challenge match at Bound For Glory. That someone is "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler, who accepts.



We see a video package for Indi Hartwell vs. Xia Brookside for the TNA Knockouts World Championship at Bound For Glory.

Leon Slater guests on commentary for the next match.

The Nemeths ("The Wanted Man" Nic and "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth) retain the TNA World Tag Team Championships against The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) after the lights flicker, causing Matt Hardy to be on the watch for Syx (Joseph Sawyer and Samuel Shaw) before Jeff Hardy goes for a Swanton Bomb only for Nic Nemeth to get the knees up to win and retain. The "A MATTer of Fact" Fact before the match is "Matt has won 32 tag team titles during his career." After the match, Nic Nemeth confronts Leon Slater, then the lights go out. When they come back on, Leon Slater is down on the ground, and Nic Nemeth is confused as to what has happened before he is confident is is not him as he makes his way up the ramp. The lights go out again, and when they come back on this time, Syx are in the ring with pipes in their hands and The Hardys down on the mat to end the show.

Backstage, Mila Moore takes a phone call - and orders - from Mustafa Ali, then John Skyler checks up on Mila after her brawl with Tasha Steelz. Before Skyler can ask Mila out, Mila has to take another phone call.

Rich Swann beats LJ Cleary in an TNA X-Divison Championship Scramble Match qualifier.



Backstage, Elijah tells Ricky Sosa not to let anyone tell him that he does not belong, then says that they are going to send a message tonight. (The audio for this backstage promo plays inexplicably during the previous match.)

We hear from Frankie Kazarian. He says he did not want tonight's match, but Moose called his bluff and he did not expect Moose to accept the stipulation. He says that Moose has had a stellar career in TNA and has put it on his back and taken it to the next level. Kazarian says he wants to surround himself with people like Moose and says that he will miss Moose, then says Moose kept pushing it even after taking the loss in Chicago and is now paying for it. Kazarian says he must focus on the future of TNA, then thanks Moose for what he has done for TNA.

Ricky Sosa and Elijah beat The System (Eddie Edwards and Cedric Alexander) after Elijah takes out Brian Myers and Bear Bronson from the top rope. After the match, Eddie Edwards hits Ricky Sosa from behind with a chair before hitting him with a package piledriver. Eddie then tells Sosa that he has been wrestling longer than Sosa has been on this earth and in his time, many guys like Sosa came and went. He says that since words no longer work with him, it is time for action. Eddie then challenges Sosa to a match at Bound For Glory to see if he truly belongs in TNA.



We hear from The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch). Vincent says BDE is losing his mind after his actions from last week, and Dutch says they put him through pain to make him into something greater, but BDE chose comfort - and Rich Swann - over growth. Vincent then says that if BDE wants to do things his own way, then they will let him grow the garden that he thinks will keep him safe.

As per the TNA Injury Report: Xia Brookside has multiple contusions after her match with Gabby Forza, and that she will be out for some time to recover. Leon Slater is still recovering from last week's backstage assault, but he has been medically cleared for tonight's match. Moose and Frankie Kazarian have been cleared for tonight's main event, although Moose continues to have neck issues.

"The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth guests on commentary for the next match.

(The Z360 is now known as "Hell and Back.") After the match, Daria Rae shows up and congratulates Zoey Serrano, then says that Harley Hudson has not learned her lesson. Daria directs Serrano to finish her, but Indi Hartwell runs into the ring to make the save. Serrano retreats as Indi calls Daria Rae out for trying to get rid of her and Harley, and Daria tells Indi that she is on borrowed time.



Moose beats Frankie Kazarian in a match with Moose's career on the line. (Had Moose lost this match, his career in TNA would have ended.) After the match, Moose throws a chair in the ring, then grabs Kazarian's crown and takes it to the ring. Moose then takes the chair and smashes the crown with it, much to Kazarian's disappointment.



The show ends with the revelation that Matt Hardy has been laid out backstage. Two people in black pants who are only seen from leg height stand over Matt before walking past him.



Here are the top ten moments from tonight's show!



Thursday, August 27, 2026

Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for August 27, 2026

The Nemeths ("The Wanted Man" Nic and "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth) head to the ring to start tonight's show. Ryan says it is a good day to be a Nemeth brother after beating The Hardys and becoming tag team champions again while Nic retained the TNA World Championship. He says that their family is the greatest in the history of professional wrestling. Nic says that this makes him the most valuable man in TNA and that he is above the law and can buy his way out of anything. Ryan says that Nic has had a team of experts put up a list of double champions in TNA, which is just Kurt Angle. Ryan says it is disrespectful to have Kurt Angle's name up in the same arena that Nic Nemeth is at, then Nic addresses Leon Slater exercising Option C to face him for the World title at Bound For Glory. Nic tells the kids to follow their dreams, reach for the stars and always bet on themselves unless they are facing him, then Leon Slater shows up. Slater says that over the last couple of years, he has had a habit of saying things and getting them done, then says he will be TNA's youngest World Champion and that he will get that done. Slater notes that Nic is a double champion, then notes that he has found himself a tag team partner in the last couple of months and that the two of them have never lost a tag team match. Ricky Sosa shows up, and Ryan Nemeth says that Daria Rae will never allow for a tag team title match just because Ricky has won a couple of matches. Director of Authority Santino Marella suddenly shows up. Santino says that he will make that match, saying it is the perfect main event and that he is making it right now and making it happen tonight.



Backstage, Mila Moore is on the phone near the rest of Order 4 (John Skyler, Tasha Steelz, Special Agent Zero). Mila then says that Mustafa Ali is at the hospital after what happened at Lockdown, and that John Skyler will have to tag with Special Agent Zero tonight. She also says that without Mustafa around, that makes Skyler the leader of Order 4 tonight.

Before the match, Brian Myers says they might have a few new scars, but The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Bear Bronson) has proved once again that you cannot beat them in Lethal Lockdown.

Elijah beats Bear Bronson after grabbing Bronson off the top rope for the Highwayman's Farewell. After the match, Elias is able to fend off Brian Myers, but Eddie Edwards and Cedric Alexander rush into the ring and attack Elijah from behind.



As per the TNA Injury Report: the medical team was busy at Lockdown. Every participant in Lethal Lockdown has suffered injuries, especially KC Navarro, who is not medically cleared to compete at this time. Everyone else in the match is medically cleared, albeit not at 100%. Jason Hotch suffered bruised ribs at Lockdown, and despite soreness, he is cleared to compete. Cedric Alexander is not medically cleared after his match with Leon Slater. Mustafa Ali suffered a punctured lung following his victory against Jason Hotch and is out, and his situation is being monitored closely.

We hear from Elayna Black. She says she had time to reflect on Lockdown and wrestling in front of her friends, family and trainer. Elayna says she is proud to have put on a performance in front of them, even if she did not come out of it with the Knockouts World Championship. She admits that this might have been her karma after her past negative attitude and that she needed to be humbled and needed to remember who and what mattered, as she is not only doing this for herself, but for friends, family and fans. Elayna says she came to TNA with a mission, and while she did not the title, she is 25 years old in her first year in TNA and that this is just the beginning of a long "Era of Elayna."

Trey Miguel and Jason Hotch beat Order 4 (John Skyler and Special Agent Zero). After the match, Mustafa Ali congratulates Jason Hotch from his hospital bed, saying that Hotch promised to put him in the dirt and came close to doing that only to put him in the hospital. He mentions that Hotch fractured his ribs and punctured his lungs, and says the only thing more painful is disrespecting one's wife and child and leaving to tell about it. Mustafa says that Hotch is also hurting, then says they have gone too far and that everyone has gotten hurt, and proposes that they call a truce, stop all of this and have Hotch rejoin Order 4, saying it is either "open arms or a call to arms." Mustafa then tells Hotch that the choice is his.



Backstage, The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch) meet with Rich Swann and BDE, wanting to know if BDE wants to join them and get his first big win. Rich Swann and BDE want nothing to do with them, and Dutch says he will meet with Daria Rae and get the two of them a one-on-one match. Vincent then says that when things do not go BDE's way again, BDE will think about what he said.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Avery Styles. Avery says that the last few days have been a dream come true after growing up with TNA and seeing his dad make his name in it, then Moose shows up and says that Avery will do amazing things like his father. Moose tells Avery to be careful who he associates with, and says that Frankie Kazarian does not help people until it helps him. Kazarian shows up and says that Avery needs advice from a winner who can take his career in the right direction as he tells Moose to shut up, then has Avery leave with him.

We hear from M by Elegance and Jada Stone before their match in the TNA Knockouts Television Championship Tournament finals.

M by Elegance beats Jada Stone to win the TNA Knockouts Television Championship Tournament and become the inaugural TNA Knockouts Television Champion!



We find out that Jeff Hardy has been attacked and put in an ambulance, and that Matt Hardy will be riding with Jeff Hardy to the hospital.

Indi Hartwell heads to the ring. Indi says she is usually a positive person, but she is pissed off at Daria Rae telling her she is not worthy of a title shot. She says she has watched wrestling since she was eight years old and has been obsessed with it, and this is still her only dream. She says she has dropped out of university and moved across the world for this and that she has never been more ready, and that she is in her prime, and that she will let nothing or nobody get in her way anymore. Daria Rae shows up and says that Indi almost got her until she remembered how mediocre Indi is, then tells Indi that in the real world, money is opportunity, and that since Indi has not brought in money, she gets no opportunity. Daria tells Indi to go back to catering and disrespecting her name. Indi dares Daria to get in the ring with her. Daria says she would not waste anything on Indi's "dying" career, and if she got back in the ring, she would kick her ass back to "Kangaroo Land." Indi says that just because Daria's in-ring career was a failure does not mean she can ruin anyone else's career, and that with or without Daria, she will become a champion. Daria says "Good luck with that," then Indi is suddenly attacked from behind by the former Zoey Stark, now known as Zoey Serrano. Zoey then hits the Z360 on Indi. Daria introduces Zoey Serrano as the newest TNA Knockout before shaking hands with her.



Backstage, Harley Hudson meets with Indi Hartwell regarding Daria Rae. Indi says Daria messed with the wrong woman, and Harley knows that Indi is not one to walk away. Xia Brookside suddenly shows up and says Indi will never get a shot at her title, then Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up and says he will make the match. Daria Rae shows up and says she has mentioned both the "verbal assault" at Lockdown and her physical assault of her a few months ago to the TNA Board of Directors, then says that Daria's "permanent record" is not great. Santino says he will look into that, then makes a tag team match of Indi and Harley vs. Brookside and Zoey Serrano.

The Nemeths ("The Wanted Man" Nic and "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth) retain the TNA World Tag Team Championships against Leon Slater and Ricky Sosa.



Here are the top ten moments from tonight's show!



Thursday, August 13, 2026

Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for August 13, 2026

Ricky Sosa beats Brian Myers. During the match, Bear Bronson distracts the referee, allowing Cedric Alexander to show up. Sosa hits Cedric with the headshot only for Myers to take advantage, then Myers takes the TNA X-Divison Championship to use as a weapon only for Leon Slater to show up and take the championship away. This allows Ricky Sosa to hit the Heashot on Myers for the win. After the match, Leon Slater says that Cedric Alexander denied him a title shot two weeks ago because Cedric knows he is a "little bitch." Slater then challenges Cedric for the X-Division Championship, saying he will give whatever it takes. Cedric says he has no reason to be jealous of Slater, and says he will put the title on the line if Slater puts his record on the line. If Slater wins, he is champion again, but if Cedric wins, Slater's record is erased for good. Slater accepts the challenge, and says he will see Cedric at Lockdown. Cedric then says that when Slater's record is gone and he is forgotten, he only has himself to blame.



Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Rich Swann and BDE. Rich Swann says that he and BDE are ready to go against Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, Special Agent Zero, John Skyler), and says that Mustafa Ali thought he could control everything only to find out he could not. BDE says their partner has been waiting for the right moment to get his hands on Mustafa again. Swann says everyone is going to find out who their mystery tag team partner is very soon.

We hear from AJ Francis as he is in the recording studio. He is about to record vocals for a new song when Elias' guitar is heard. Elijah is on the other side of the booth, and he says there will be no excuses and only a steel cage and the judgment to come in "The Final Encore" at Lockdown. AJ Francis tries to run only to find out the booth is locked, then Elijah disappears.

Moose heads to the ring for "The Face of the Franchise's Speech." Moose mocks Frankie Kazarian throughout, showing off the sunglasses and scarf he stole from him which he says make him look like a douchebag. He tosses the sunglasses and scarf away. Moose calls the fans in Philadelphia his very special guests for tonight, then has some fun with the fans and gets a "Moose!" chant going, saying he will beat Kazarian at Lockdown before Kazarian shows up. Kazarian calls what is going on right now "stupid" and fails miserably to get the crowd on his side before declaring that he is royalty while Moose is "a failed football player" and stating that comparing the two of them is like comparing filet mignon to Wawa gas station food. This gets a brief "Wawa" chant started before Moose tells Kazarian that while he can insult him, he does not insult his guests, and that he will punch him in the face. Kazarian says he does what he wants when he does, then says Moose is a miserable failure as a husband and a father. Moose punches Kazarian in the face anyway, starting a brawl, and security has to jump in and separate both men. (One of the security guards holding Moose back is independent wrestler Lord Crewe.)



We see a video package chronicling the recent events between The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) and The Nemeths ("The Wanted Man" Nic and "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth) leading up to tonight's TNA World Championship main event.

Rich Swann and BDE's mystery partner is revealed to be Trey Miguel, who has not been seen since injuring his knee in his match with Mustafa Ali for the TNA International Championship at Rebellion.

Rich Swann, BDE and Trey Miguel beat Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, Special Agent Zero, John Skyler) in a six-man tag match. After the match, Special Agent Zero almost lays out Trey Miguel, but retreats when Jason Hotch rushes into the ring.



Backstage, Xia Brookside is a jerk to the make-up artist as she is getting her make-up done.

As per the TNA Injury Report, Jason Hotch is cleared despite what he has gone through to win the TNA International Championship.
