The System make their way out to kick off the show. Alisha starts out saying that The System is always ten steps ahead. Eddie Edwards says that last week they made an example of Leon Slater when JDC took him out; a future star found out what happens when someone crosses the System. JDC tells the crowd to shut up. JDC says that he should’ve joined the System, but instead he got run over. “Oba’s Gonna Kill You” chants by the crowd.
Moose says he gets everybody talking about Oba – Moose shook him a few weeks ago when he showed up on his home turf. Oba showed up here to try and shake Moose, but it didn’t work. Moose says that he’s going to show Oba that being the ruler of NXT is much different then ruling TNA.
Moose addresses Jeff Hardy and says that although he pinned Moose twice, he got lucky in doing so…but his luck runs out tonight.
Brian Myers addresses the recruitment aspect of The System. He calls on The Colons – whom he knows very well – and said they might be System material.
Eddie & Orlando Colon make their way down to the ring. They grab a microphone and say that the Colon name is rich in the wrestling business. They say they came here to show everybody what the Colon name is all about – and they figured they want to fight WITH the System instead of against the System in order to take over TNA.
Moose says he likes these guys because the whole locker room knows that things are much easier if you…Trust. The. System.
Gia Miller is backstage with Spitfire ahead of their TNA Tag Team Title match later tonight. Jody says that they’re used to doing things by themselves, but if they want to be “errand boys” for 24 hours then they’ll let them do things for them. Both women get excited about being able to give Ash and Heather a mohawk.
Backstage, The System walks through a door after their segment in the ring when they’re approached by Leon Slater, who says he’s heard they’ve been talking smack about him. The System star talking back just as Matt and Jeff Hardy walk up and stand side by side with Leon Slater. Security steps in between both groups and separates everybody.
-Mike Santana vs. NXT talent Oro Mensah
Santana nails Oro with SPIN THE BLOCK and covers for the victory.
Winner: Mike Santana
Post-match, a video appears on the screen. It’s Mustafa Ali with his posse – Tasha Steelz, John Skyler, and Jason Hotch – as they air a fictitious video package of Mike Santana “falling off the wagon” as he’s a recovering addict.
Santana is walking around backstage looking for Ali. He runs into Skyler, Hotch, and Tasha Steelz. Santana asks where Ali is, and Skyler says he doesn’t have time for somebody like him. Santana tells Skyler to relay a message to him and steps up, but Tasha inserts herself between them before Santana can strike Skyler. Santana tells them to go find Ali and let him know he’s looking.
–Tessa Blanchard vs ???
Tessa vs. Kelsey Heather
Tessa nails Kelsey with a BUZZSAW for the victory.
Winner: Tessa Blanchard
Post-match, Masha Slamovich was watching the match from the monitor backstage. Just as Gia walks up to get a word, NXT star Cora Jade attacks Masha from behind and lays her out. Cora says that Masha shouldn’t be worried about Tessa when she’s the one who’s going to take her title at Sacrifice.
Joe Hendry is standing backstage with Elijah. Elijah says the two of them teaming up last week was electric. He says that they’re good together and know how to put on a show. Hendry says that he knows how this goes – they’ll team up and then he’ll have a guitar around his neck when Elijah double crosses him. Elijah says that he won’t do that because he believes in Joe Hendry.
The System walk up and surround both men. JDC says that the System runs TNA.
–Steve Maclin vs. KC Navarro (w/AJ Francis)
The Northern Armory came to the stage to watch it.
Maclin nails KC with KIA to win the match.
Winner: Steve Maclin
Tessa Blanchard is walking through the hallway backstage after her match. She spots Lei Ying Lee staring at her and stops. Tessa asks Lee if she has a staring problem, to which Lee tells her that she talks too much. Tessa says that Lee isn’t on her level and that she shouldn’t even be breathing the same air as Tessa. Lee steps up to Tessa just as Santino Marella walks up and separates the two. Santino says that he can’t let Lee and Tessa go at it here, but that Lee is going to get her hands on Tessa at Sacrifice.
The match is made official.
