NEW TNA World Champion – Nic Nemeth – Kicks off this weeks episode.
Nic Nemeth promo – (huge “you deserve it” chants). Says he will be a fighting champion and defend it anywhere anytime. Nemeth says he will defend the title until it is pried from his cold, dead hands.
Campaign Singh interrupts and introduces Mustafa Ali. Ali says Nemeth’s title win isn’t as important as what happened to him last night.
The crowd starts “you tapped out” chants. He says he’s starting a new campaign to make the World Title great again.
Nemeth says let’s fight now, Ali says next week and Nemeth clears house.
ABC & Matt Hardy are backstage with Gia Miller for comments on their match later tonight.
ABC said they know they’re outnumbered, Matt chimes in and says that his brother Jeff isn’t there tonight because he’s not medically cleared, but they have someone on their side who they all BELIEVE IN…
Nic & Ryan Nemeth are backstage. Frankie Kazarian walks up and says that he knows why Nic is called “The Wanted Man”, because he stole the title from him. Nic says he pinned Frankie in the middle of the ring. Ryan Nemeth says he still has unfinished business with Frankie. Frankie tells “Nic Nemeth’s brother” to settle down.
Director of Authority Santino Marella walks up and says that Nic is busy next week, but Ryan Nemeth and Frankie can have a match.
Steve Maclin cuts a promo before his match. Maclin says he was just out here trying to become a two-time TNA World Champion, but gets mad at the crowd for doing the goodbye chants last night. Says USA is better. Maclin starts singing “Na Na Na na, kiss my ass!”
Cody Deaner comes out to speak on behalf of Canadians, if we want him to beat Maclin’s ass, he will. Match is on.
-Steve Maclin def. Cody Deaner via KIA.
We cut to Sami Callihan filming his Death Machine TV (DMTV). Callihan says AJ, Swann, and even that guy “Bishop” can come after him, but they’re going to end up being “three broke bitches.”
We get a clip of Joe Hendry from this past Tuesday when he appeared on WWE NXT programming and revealed that he’ll be doing a live, in-ring concert next week.
-AJ Francis def. Sami Callihan via pinfall after Rich Swann distracts the referee and then Joshua Bishop attacks Sami, as AJ gets up and nails him with a chokeslam for the pinfall victory.
We see Rosemary in a dark room by herself with a board. The board has a bunch of pictures on it of people who have been taken from her. The photos are of Father James Mitchell, Abyss, and Havok.
We’ll get Rosemary in action next week.
Hammerstone & Ash By Elegance vs. Eric Young & Jordynne Grace
-Hammerstone & Ash By Elegance def. Eric Young & Jordynne Grace via submission.

Backstage, The System are standing around, silent, after all having lost their titles – except Alisha Edward. Alisha says that they’re the Dream Team of professional wrestling.
She looks around at everybody in the group, who remains quiet.
Alisha says everybody will remember to Trust. The. System.
Josh Alexander’s music hits and he walks out from the back. Josh gets into the ring and is met with constant booing.
Josh picks up a microphone and is constantly being booed. Josh asks if everybody wants an explanation for what he did at Slammiversary. He drops the microphone and walks away.
Backstage, Gia Miller catches up with NEW TNA X Division Champion, Mike Bailey.
Bailey says he’s still riding high from his victory over Mustafa Ali in his hometown of Montreal in front of 4,000 people. He says he’s show what the X Division is all about. How he’s bringing the love of professional wrestling back to the division.
The Rascalz walk up and interrupt Bailey, and say that they all want to mix it up with him as well. Nxt star Wes Lee says that his very first match in TNA was a 6 man tag team match, so Bailey should grab Trent Seven, and Trent eight(?). Bailey agrees to the match.
