Mike Santana makes his way out through the crowd. He hypes the announcement and says he’s giving Trick the biggest fight of his life at the biggest stage for TNA. He claims he’s bringing the title back to TNA at Bound For Glory. Santana says Trick can hide behind lawyers or contracts, but if he’s not going to show up to TNA until Bound For Glory then he’s going to have to go hunt him down in NXT.
We go backstage to Gia Miller standing by with the Mara Sade & the Hardy’s as they hype up their match later tonight where they team with Mara Sade to take on the Great Hands and Tasha Steelz.
Backstage, Moose approaches Mike Santana and congratulates on his shot at the TNA World Title at Bound For Glory. AJ walks up and tells Santana that he better watch where he’s treading if he’s going after Trick on his home turf.

Ash is interrupted by former TNA Knockouts World champion, Masha Slamovich. Masha says Ash is always hiding behind some peasants, but that she’s out here to break some news – she’s going to get her contractual rematch at Victory Road!
Masha comes to the ring and takes out M & Heather By Elegance, but Ash throws champagne at her. The Elegances attack Masha just as Xia Brookside & Lei Ying Lee try to make the save, but get beaten down by the Elegances. Cassie Lee & Jessica McKay run down as the Elegances flee.
