Gia Miller interviews Steve Maclin. Maclin says Frankie Kazarian has talked a lot of crap about his title and his military service for weeks and has made tonight very personal for him, and that he will fight for his military brothers and their sacrifice who has had to deal with insults, carry the burden of disrespect, continue to fight the war after the war, and the ones who never made it home and found that peace. He says that tonight, there are no jokes, when he is done kicking Kazarian's ass, everyone will call Kazarian "King Nothing."

It's time for Fir$t Cla$$ Penthouse. AJ Francis brags about his new Houston Texas jacket and that he is a star, then says the only star in his galaxy is Trick Williams. He also says he has been on numerous sports podcasts and demands respect for it. After removing his Houston Texas jacket to reveal a Florida Panthers jacket underneath, AJ Francis then mentions that the Edmonton Oilers lost the last two Stanley Cups to the Panthers, then says he will show what a winner looks like before previewing his new album "Dear $ummer." All of a sudden, Matt Hardy - tonight's guest - shows up and says the fans would rather hear "that iconic Hardy music" than AJ Francis', and AJ Francis says that nobody wants to see "the oldest tag team title match in history" and that Fir$t Cla$$ (AJ Francis and Rich Swann) should be in that match because they are the greatest tag team of all time. Matt Hardy asks AJ Francis what kind of alternative universe he is living in before listing The Hardys' (Jeff and Matt Hardy) accolades before stating that Francis has created "boredom and headaches." AJ Francis says he could "create an ass whupping" for Matt Hardy if he does not get out of the ring, and Matt dares him to do it if he is man enough. AJ Francis goes for a cheap shot, and he eventually hits a big boot followed by a Down Payment into the table in the ring.

The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, JDC) head to the ring.

Ash talks about how she entered TNA a year-and-a-half ago mentally defeated and how it quickly became her home. She says that she planned to elevate the Knockouts World Championship, but life has thrown her some curveballs and that she is no longer able to compete. Ash announces that she is stepping away from in-ring competition, and with a heavy heart, she has to forfeit the TNA Knockouts World Championship. She is confident in the women's locker room, and that whoever holds this title will elevate it like she planned to. She says it was an honor to perform for the TNA fans, who she says gave her the best moments of her life. She thanks the fans and states that she will miss them, then hands the TNA Knockouts World Championship to Carlos Silva. The fans give Ash a standing ovation on the way out. Santino then announces that the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship will be moved to this Thursday's TNA iMPACT in favor of a battle royal to decide the new champion, and that the battle royal is coming up next. (Ash by Elegance's original title defense against Masha Slamovich is cancelled due to allegations of domestic violence between Masha Slamovich and her former partner, independent wrestler Akira. These allegations would also cause Slamovich to be pulled from several independent shows, including Prestige Wrestling's Roseland XII, where she was replaced with Dani Luna.)

Victory Road 2024 - The Results

KUSHIDA beats Leon Slater with the cross arm breaker in the countdown.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander. Alexander says that Joe Hendry's fairy tale ends tonight and that he is the hero in the story while Hendry is the court jester off to the side making all the noise to distract everyone and makes everything he does a mockery. He says he will get in the ring, and eventually, the bell will ring, and if he does not tap out to the ankle lock, he will drop him on his head with the C4 Spike, and Hendry will be lucky to do anything ever again.

Jake Something and Hammerstone beat Eric Young and Steve Maclin in the countdown.

The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) beat Fir$t Cla$$ (AJ Francis and KC Navarro).

JDC celebrates becoming an official member of The System, and Moose says that "The Wnated Man" Nic Nemeth is staring at a soon-to-be four-time World Champion.

Before the next match, Steph de Lander says that her career has felt like a dream sometimes, and she is proud to be in a TNA ring with her heroes and in front of 2,000 sold out fans in San Antonio, Texas. She says that her career has been full of ups and downs, and the fans have been there every step of the way. She then says that Matt Cardona and PCO need to sort things out, as while this is hurting her, it is not the only thing hurting her. She then says that she needs neck surgery and has needed it for a long time, as she wakes up every day in pain and has fought through it because she did not let anyone down, including the fans, TNA and everyone else. She then says she has to do this to take care of herself, then says that while Cardona has been a jerk lately, he is still his best friend, even though she is not his property. She says that Cardona found her at her lowest and took her to her highest, and thanks him for that. She then says that she would find true love with PCO, but she is so glad that she has. Steph says that this friction is not healthy for her or fer them, and asks them both to stand up, be the men that they are, and figure this out without her. She says that this is not a retirement speech, because she is not done yet and she has more to give to the business, to TNA and to the fans, and that this is not goodbye, but "see you later," and tells the fans that she loves her. She hugs PCO, then the two of them leave. When Rhino tries to leave the ring, however, Cardona kicks the bottom rope into his groin before hitting him with Radio Silence, then says it is all about him now.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews "The Wanted Man' Nic Nemeth. Nemeth says tonight is a big night and that he takes the World Championship as a big responsibility. He says that Moose has had his number and he has beaten him, but now he feels rejuvenated even more than in the last six months, as TNA is the place to be and he will walk out a fighting TNA World Champion.

Spitfire (Dani Luna and Jody Threat) beat Tasha Steelz and Masha Slamovich to become the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Champions for a second time.

After the match, Alisha Edwards chews out Masha Slamovich, and when Masha Slamovich blocks a slap by Alisha and confronts her, Tasha Steelz hits Masha with a cutter from behind followed by a ground and pound. Alisha then raises Steelz's hand.

Backstage, we hear from Hammerstone and Jake Something. Jake Something says that what they just did is just the beginning as well as a statement. Hammerstone says Eric Young and Steve Maclin are just two names and the first on a long list of people who will suffer the same fate for getting in their way.

Before the next match, Joe Hendry says that "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander thinks he does not have what it takes to be the face of TNA or go toe-to-toe with him, but luckily for him, he does not define himself through people like him when he has whole arenas chanting "We believe."

Joe Hendry beats "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander with the ankle lock. During the match, Alexander shoves Hendry into referee Daniel Spencer, knocking Spencer down.

"The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth retains the TNA World Championship against Moose.

Moose grabs Nemeth's hair, but Nemeth hits a superkick. He goes for the Danger Zone, but Moose hits the Spear. Nemeth kicks out, however. Alisha then passes the World title to Moose as JDC distracts referee Daniel Spencer, but Mike Santana shows up and takes the World title away from him and fights and chases JDC to the back. Nemeth hits the Danger Zone, but Moose kicks out. Later in the match, Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers pull referee Daniel Spencer out of the ring after Nemeth hits another Famouser, and Nemeth has to keep Daniel Spencer from throwing the match out.
