He says that he will soon be a two-time World Champion as he tells Hannifan to stay behind the commentary desk, then talks about how he is the most talked-about man in TNA despite not working in TNA for a month. Maclin says that it has been a long time since he was World Champion, and that backstage politics took it from him. He says he has been selflessly fighting to get back to being World Champion before addressing Santana. Maclin says he saw an opportunity and took it, and that it was his ego that would bring him back just like how Santana used his addiction issues to get everyone to care about him. He considers recording his meetings at the VA or recording voicemails from his father to show how tragic his life is, then says that Santana was lucky to have a relationship with his father when he does not even remember what his own father sounds like. He says that he has opened death's door and has met death a long time ago, then says it is more about the door Santana opened, the person he let out and the mayhem that will ensue than the World Championship.

Moose and Alisha Edwards head to the ring.

He goes on to call Atlanta Falcons in the front row a real family. He says that they went to war together, and when one of them made it to the Pro Bowl, he was the proudest man in the room.

Santana then asks Director of Authority Santino Marella to come out and reinstant Maclin so he can give him an ass-whupping, but Daria Rae shows up instead.

Santana mentions Steve Maclin trying to sneak attack him at No Surrender because he was not man enough to meet him face to face, and tells Maclin that he knows him better than anyone in the back and knows what he is trying to do.

Santana admits his head was on a swivel when he asked Slater if he had his back and Slater told him that he did, what with Daria Rae getting in his head about Option C, then admits that he did not have Slater's and left him by himself.

She states that at the end of the day, she is the only one who should have walked out with the title. She says that Mara Sadé taking that title shot from her when she is the only one who matters is absolutely sickening to her, and wants Mara Sadé to explain herself before stating that the Knockouts title will be hers. Mara Sadé shows up and mentions that the two of them have a shared history, but Elayna says the big difference between them is that she sacrificed on the indies to get here while Mara Sadé was handed the opportunity to be a pro wrestler. She says that she earned this, and that regardless of who is in her way, she will be Knockouts Champion while Mara Sadé will continue to be an obvious industry plant who does not deserve a single second here. Mara Sadé says Elayna hates her because the industry did not break her, and tells Elayna to prove she is a fraud if she wants to expose her.

Alexander says everyone, including Nemeth, is on his time from now on, as he has done everything under TNA's terms and he will take the world title on his terms now. Nemeth says he is happy and overjoyed to have a world title in his hands, and while he respects what Alexander has done, he feels lucky to win the championship and says that he is a fighting champion. He also wants to know why everyone knows his name but nobody knows Alexander's, and also says Alexander could have walked up to him, looked him in the eye and demanded for a championship match. When asked what has gone wrong, Alexander says everything - fans, management, everything but him - has gone wrong, and says that nobody is champion until they beat him. He also says people like Nemeth show up and have the welcome mat rolled out for them and also calls this part of the problem, and says that tomorrow night, the TNA World Championship will be back on his waist and TNA will be better off for it.

The personal concierge George Iceman shows up in a neck brace and introduces Ash By Elegance, who is escorted to the ring by private security.

Campaign Singh is in the ring, where he introduces Mustafa Ali for his State of the Union address. Mustafa Ali addresses the hidden camera footage from before his match with Trent Seven at Against All Odds, saying it is "lies, smears and propaganda made to ruin his good name" and that it had distorted images and audio.

Zachary Wentz then says that Deaner does not want to listen to the people of Chicago, Illinois because they suck, and Trey Miguel reminds them that the last time they faced off, they lost and Deaner and Jake had to have a match to get on the same page.

Before the next match, Joe Hendry states that tonight is the TNA Wrestling in-ring debut of AJ Francis, and while the two of them have not always gotten along, tonight he sympathizes as everyone is watching Francis and the pressure is running high.

He declares that as new X Division Champion, he will declare his first executive order. Suddenly, Chris Sabin shows up. Sabin demands that Mustafa leave the podium and face him like a man, then says that while they are both different, they both believe in change. Sabin says change is about selflessness, self-betterment, and accomplishing goals by believing in one's self. Mustafa then says it is all about him and that he has other people make change while he takes the credit for himself, and says that if The Good Hands were not at Mustafa's side, he would still be champion. Mustafa calls this "a slanderous accusation" and that The Good Hands are here because they support the campaign, and that there was not one soul in the building who supported him at No Surrender. Sabin says he is no politician and is not here to debate, and that he is only here to fight.

Gia Miller admits that she has had a raw oyster in a Bloody Mary before.

Before the next match, John Skyler says he is so excited that TNA is back, yet he is also disappointed that it is back in Orlando, Florida, as their most prominent citizen is a cartoon mouse.

His favorite subject in school (other than gym) was English, as he connected with his teachers and the subject more, with math being his least favorite. Austin's favorite animal is the monkey, and he has always dreamt of owning one he could dress up in costumes and have sit upon his shoulder, though he admits he would not be ready to take care of one right now due to the demands of being a professional wrestler. His favorite food (other than donuts) is ground turkey due to how versatile it can be, especially lean turkey, and he also favors tacos (though he does not use sour cream due to his low-calorie diet).

Iceman then mentions The $361,000 Man (R.D. Evans, formerly known as "The $309,000 Man") wanting his title, but DJ 2Large does not care how much he is worth, he will wrap his big hands around his scrawny neck and squeeze the soul out of him. The $361,000 Man soon shows up and says that "everyone has a dollar amount" and that he is now worth $369,000 and is now "The $369,000 Man." He then asks how much money it will take to buy the television title from him. The $369,000 Man thinks Moose is trying to drive a hard bargain, and offers to exchange the television title for "a life-changing $10,000," which he says will be the best deal of his life. Moose answers with a rap, and tells The $369,000 Man "no." The $369,000 Man says he has never taken no for an answer, then says that he will take the title with the help of his newest acquisition: The Masked Brother (Frankie Kazarian), who attacks DJ 2Large from behind. This starts a brawl that referees have to break up, and DJ 2Large asks if the crowd wants to see him face The Masked Brothers tonight, which the crowd makes clear that they want.

Rapid Delivery Pete shows up and takes offense to this, then leaves.

Frank The Butcher (Rhino) beats Neptune (Shera). After the match, Giuseppe Scovelli, Sr. makes Walter Chestnut and Neptune janitors.
