Tiffany says she cannot wait to step foot into the ring with Vaquer as they have both proven they are the best, but only one women will walk out of Crown Jewel and it will be her. After Tiffany says that it will be Tiffy Time no matter when or where, she signs the contract, and Vaquer immediately follows suit. Both women then shake hands. As Tiffany leaves, she is suddenly attacked by Giulia, and Kiana James makes a business proposal for Vaquer. Kiana says Vaquer is a star, but not a superstar, and that she can make that happen if she accepts her services.

It's time for The King's Speech. Frankie Kazarian says he is usually dressed to the nines for this, but he is dressed to fight tonight. 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. He then introduces tonight's guest, TNA Knockouts World Champion Kelani Jordan, who heads to the ring. Kazarian tells Kelani that the rest of the Knockouts hate each other and talk about each other behind each others' backs and call her win a fluke, which he states he does not believe. 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 Williams shows up and states that while he likes Kazarian, he demands Kazarian put some respect on his name, as he is carrying two brands and has beaten the best that TNA has to offer. He says that if Kazarian is a king, then he is an emperor, but Kazarian says they can talk about hierarchy when Trick has put in the time he has and has built empires. 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. Kelani says that she is the guest and says that she wants to prove that nobody can do it like her. Indi Hartwell shows up and states that while she respect Kelani, she has never wrestled anyone like her, and she has the support of the locker room and the fans, and at Bound for Glory, she will bring the Knockouts title home and become champion. As Kazarian complains about all the unwanted guests on his show, Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up. Santino tells everyone to take it easy and says everyone is chatting like high school kids, then says everyone is fired up for an epic Bound for Glory, which is still over a week away. Santino then says he still needs a match for tonight, and after asking the fans if they want to see a six-person tag match - which they do - he puts Trick, Kazarian and Kelani against Slater, Matt Hardy and Indi in a six-person tag match that happens next. He also announces that Mike Santana will guest on commentary for this match.

He now knows that MJF is all talk and that he told him specifically not to mention Jay Briscoe's name, but he did it more than once, and he showed him that his words have consequences. As for winning the big one, he won big enough to send MJF on a sabbatical, but when it comes to winning championship gold, it is only because of MJF costing him a TNT title shot that he cannot do that. With Hologram injured, it is now up to Orange Cassidy to be champion. Briscoe says that unlike MJF, he can be unselfish and celebrate with his friends, and when Orange Cassidy wins the TNT Championship, he will celebrate with Orange while MJF sits on the couch picking tacks out of his body.

MVP feels that he may have lost a step and may not be the wrestler that he used to be, but he can still fight better than The Demand can.
