Match 1: Frankie Kazarian vs. The Home Town Man
A.J. Francis joins the announce team at ringside. The Home Town Man goes to the top rope but hits a crossbody on Francis instead. The Home Town Man rolls up Kazarian and gets the win.
Result: The Home Town Man def. Frankie Kazarian by pinfall
Rating: **
Reaction: There has been an increase in the use of roll-up wins during this regime. It made sense here if they had to get The Home Town Man to realistically win against Kazarian, but I do miss when they didn’t do it as frequently.
After the match, Elijah’s guitar plays and the lights go out. When it’s back on, Elijah aims to hit his guitar on Kazarian, but Kazarian moves out of the way and Elijah hits Francis instead.
Gia Miller is backstage with Lei Ying Lee and Xia Brookside. Lee speaks in Chinese. Lee says in her contract, she can have a rematch, and that she wants a rematch as soon as possible. Xia Brookside says that tonight they are going to send a message to Dani Luna and the so-called champion.
Daria Rae walks up to Santino Marella and asks him what he’s doing. Marella says Maclin and Santana will not be able to keep their hands off of each other and they will have to vacate the title so he’s making a bracket. Daria Rae says he is always thinking in the wrong places. Rae brings up Dani Luna. Marella says Lei Ying Lee has a contractual rematch. He says he has an idea and at Sacrifice, they will have Arianna Grace vs. Lei Ying Lee vs. Dani Luna in a 3-way match for the Knockouts title. Daria Rae says that’s a great idea.
Match 2: Mike Jackson vs. Mr. Elegance (w/Heather By Elegance, M By Elegance & The Personal Concierge)
Jackson takes Elegance down with an armdrag. Elegance goes after Jackson and Jackson pulls down the ropes and Elegance goes to the outside. Jackson hits a suicide dive. Back in the ring and Elegance runs into Jackson but hits the corner post. Elegance hits an elbow drop. He hits the Excuse Moi for the win.
Result: Mr. Elegance (w/Heather By Elegance, M By Elegance & The Personal Concierge) def. Mike Jackson by pinfall
Rating: **
Reaction: Mike Jackson doesn’t appear very often, but he never ceases to amaze. It’s crazy to see him still going. Mr. Elegance did a lot of selling for Jackson here before getting the win.
After the match, The Personal Concierge says they’re going to teach Jackson a lesson, but ODB’s music hits and she hits Mr. Elegance with a steel chair. The Personal Concierge runs away. ODB pours some sauce onto Mr. Elegance.
The System are backstage and Bronson says Myers and Bronson are coming for that gold around the Hardys waist and when he drops Jeff Hardy on his bad shoulder, it is all over for him. Eddie Edwards says Santana’s championship reign is coming to a painful, bitter end as he becomes a 3-time TNA World Champion. Myers says he and Moose laid the foundation of The System and he taught everything he knew. He says tonight, he is going to need it.
Match 3: Arianna Grace & Dani Luna (w/Channing Lorenzo) vs. The Angel Warriors (Lei Ying Lee & Xia Brookside)
Lee with an armwringer on Grace. Grace runs into Lee and Lee drops her with a sweep and follows it up with a dropkick. Lee with 10 punches in the corner on Grace. Lee hits an exploder suplex for two.

Lee hits a crossbody onto Grace and Stacks outside the ring. Luna catches Brookside off the top rope and hits the Luna Landing for the win.
Result: Arianna Grace & Dani Luna (w/Channing Lorenzo) def. The Angel Warriors (Lei Ying Lee & Xia Brookside) by pinfall
Rating: ***½
Reaction: Arianna Grace still needs a lot of ring time. A lot of her offense looks weak. There were moments of confusion when her and Lee were in the ring together. Luna is fantastic and I hope she gets a major push like Leon Slater has.
Time for the TNA Injury Report presented by Bioflex, and Leon Slater is out of action after the piledriver by Eric Young but is expected to return next week, Indi Hartwell is out after Arianna Grace’s attack, Cedric Alexander and Moose are cleared to compete.
Leon Slater comes out. He says Eric Young hit a piledriver and he could’ve broken his neck and ended his career. He says he felt something he has never felt before, and it was doubt. He says he had doubt that he would get up again. He calls Young a big, bald bitch and says he did stand up again. He says Eric Young talked about the X-Division being broken. He says the only thing that’s going to be broken is his foot after he bunts it against his head. He says he is going to prove why they call him the youngest-in-charge.
Match 4: Brian Myers (w/Bear Bronson, Cedric Alexander & Eddie Edwards) vs. Moose (w/Alisha Edwards)
Santino Marella comes out after the bell rings and says the rest of The System are banned from ringside. Brian Myers turns around and Moose hits a Spear for the win.
Result: Moose def. Brian Myers by pinfall
Rating: NR
Reaction: I don’t get the logic behind why Moose would be happy with a quick win over Brian Myers when he’s on this warpath against The System. You’d think he’d want to beat him up more instead of a flash win.
A vignette for Rosemary and she makes Allie appear and Allie apologizes for being late. Allie asks for a change of clothes because she died in the one she’s wearing. Rosemary gives her a dress, and they go to see Raven. Rosemary says his message said ‘Envy.’ Raven says Tommy Dreamer’s face looks like it caught on fire. Alli introduces herself to him. Raven gives Rosemary a potion and she says this is perfect.
The System are backstage and Myers asks since when Santino makes the rules around here. He says next week, they’re going to unleash a ferocious bear on him. He asks where Daria’s office is.
Match 5: Elayna Black vs. Jada Stone
Mara Sadè joins the announce table for this match. Stone hits a split-legged moonsault for two. Tasha Steelz shows up and distracts Stone. Stone goes for a springboard off the ropes, but Steelz trips her. Black hits the Blackout for the win.
Result: Elayna Black def. Jada Stone by pinfall
Rating: **
Reaction: Jada Stone continues to shine in TNA. She has incredible athleticism and the fans are behind her. Elayna Black comes off like a star and has been a good signing for TNA.
Black faces off with Mara Sadè at ringside. Security shows up to keep them apart. Mustafa Ali appears along with Order 4, and they surround Jada Stone in the ring. Trey Miguel’s music hits and he enters the ring with a steel chair. Order 4 backs away and leave.
The Nemeths and The Righteous are seen walking backstage.
Tessa Blanchard says they had the best seat in the house for Arianna Grace vs. Jody Threat. She says the second that they decide that she wants it, it’s hers. Jody Threat shows up and Tessa Blanchard says they give a kitty enough attention and she thinks she’s a lion. Threat says talk is cheap like her glasses. Threat suggests they face in the ring next week, and Blanchard says piece of cake.
Match 6: The Righteous (Dutch & Vincent) vs. The Nemeths (Nic Nemeth & Ryan Nemeth)
Nic whips Vincent into the ropes and Ryan hits a knee. Nic hits a Famouser for two. Nic tags to Ryan who hits punches for two. Ryan hits a neckbreaker for two. Ryan tags to Nic and Nic pokes Vincent in the eye.
Ryan with a chin lock to Vincent and tags to Nic. Nic gets a sleeper hold on Vincent. Vincent looks to tag to Dutch, but Nic takes him down. Vincent his a crossbody on the Nemeths. Vincent hits a Side Russian Leg Sweep on Nic and a reverse DDT into a facebuster on Ryan for two. Dutch runs into Nic outside the ring but is sent into the steel steps. Ryan accidentally hits Nic. Nic hits Vincent and Ryan hits the Big Hollywood Ending for the win.
Result: The Nemeths (Nic Nemeth & Ryan Nemeth) def. The Righteous (Dutch & Vincent) by pinfall
Rating: ***¼
Reaction: Solid work throughout the match. The Righteous feel like natural heels to me and I wish they built more intrigue and mystery around their friendship with The Hardys.
Mike Santana and Steve Maclin sit at a restaurant across from each other. Santana says when he came back to TNA, he was the first person that helped him prove to himself that he has what it takes to be here. He says this is a land of sharks, but he looked at him as his brother. He says Maclin was the one guy that he knew would have his back. He says he let his pride and ego speak for him. Maclin says if anyone has an ego, it’s Santana. He talks about Afghanistan and says one guy does the minesweep. He says not one casualty. He says he doesn’t need to explain who that man was. Santana says he always respected what he’s done. He says he made his past his superpower while Maclin made his his excuse. He asks where that got him. He says he better be ready for Sacrifice, because all this turmoil better be for something. He says he better be ready for every single thing he’s bitched and complained about. He says when he wins, all this was for nothing. He says he would have to go home and look in the mirror and say that he failed, and that he wasn’t the man he said he was.
