–Nic Nemeth to address TNA fans–
Nic Nemeth comes out for the first time since losing the title. Nemeth commends Hendry for the win and says that Hendry got the better of him at Genesis, but says that he wants the title back.
Nic is interrupted by his brother Ryan, who quickly trash talks Hendry. He says that his brother isn’t happy with what happened at Genesis, and that Joe got lucky. Ryan tells Nic he’s the real champion even if he’s too humble to say it. Ryan calls Joe a fraud.
Nic says that 2025 is going to be the year of the Nemeth brothers.
KC Navarro comes out with AJ Francis and interrupts Nic. AJ reintroduces themselves as FIR$T CLA$$. AJ says that he agrees with Ryan, but he’s here to talk to the only Nemeth brother that matter. AJ says that Nic doesn’t deserve to go after the World Title again after losing the title to Joe Hendry. AJ reminds everybody that he wrestled Nic for the TNA World Title in the main event of a SOLD OUT Final Resolution show, and that’s what got him his new contract – what he claims is the most lucrative contract in TNA history. AJ tells Nic that its time for the old-timers to step aside because this is the era of TNAJ Francis.
Nic chimes in and says he doesn’t know the point of AJ and KC coming out here, whether theyre trying to intimidate or challenge them–Ryan cuts Nic off and says that they’ll wrestle against KC and AJ. Santino Marella comes out and makes a match between First Class (KC Navarro & AJ Francis) and the Nemeth Brothers official for later tonight.
Gia Miller standing by with Arianna Grace and asks what we can expect from the partnership. Tessa walks up and says that this isnt TNA and she doesn’t get to tell her what to do. Tessa says that Arianna looks like a girl who got everything handed to her-not like her, who worked for everything she’s got. Tessa says that Gia isn’t needed either, and then exclaims that she answers to NOBODY!
We see a clip from Xia Brookside exchanging words with Cora Jade earlier today.

Gia Miller is standing by backstage with Wes Lee, Tyrieke Ogwe, and Tyson DuPont. Gia asked Wes why he did what he did last week. Wes says that the NXT Tag Team Titles are already reserved for Tyson and Tyrieke because Wes promised them he’s doing to lead them to glory. Lee says it doesn’t matter who they have to go through – starting tonight with Ace Austin.
Personal Concierge George Iceman is standing backstage with both Ash & Heather By Elegance, as well as Director of Authority, Santino Marella. Iceman says that they called the lawyers after getting screwed out of the tag team title match at Genesis, and the person who got pinned wasn’t the legal one in the match. Iceman says that Heather and Ash should be the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champions right now.
Santino announces that next week he will be holding a Knockouts Battle Royal and they’re both in the match. The winner will receive a shot at the Knockouts World Title. Dani Luna and Jody Threat walk up and exchange unpleasantries with Heather & Ash, as they’ll both be in the match as well.

We go backstage to Frankie Kazarian talking to Leon Slater about being his lackey and holding his trophy. Leon says he’s lost because everybody keeps cheating and he’s sick of it. The System walk up and offer Leon to carry their bags, Alisha offers Leon a spot as her assistant. Matt & Jeff Hardy walk up and take Leon’s side and will stand side by side with Slater next week against The System.
Sami and Mance battle into the crowd from the backstage area. Sami is about to smash a chair on Mance’s head with a baseball bat, just as SDL runs down and slides the Digital Media Title into the ring, causing Sami to turn his attention to her. Mance gets up and grabs the belt, smashing it into the face of Sami. Mance nails Sami with two knees to the face and leaves him laid out.
We go backstage to Maclin and Eric Young discussing Eric teaming with Josh Alexander. Maclin can’t believe Eric is actually going to team with Josh after how Josh has treated everybody lately.

Mike Santana walks up as the security step up. Ali tells them it’s good, he’s a friend. Santana says that he gives respect and expects it in return, and Ali interrupting Santana last week was disrespectful. Santana says he knows how he rolls and they can go to the ring right now. Ali says that he just went through a grueling match, but he’s got a friend who’s “Always Ready” who he’s going to talk to. Ali walks away.
