-He says The System is one step closer to holding all the gold in TNA Wrestling then puts TNA World Champion Mike Santana on notice and hands the microphone over to TNA World Tag Team Champion Brian Myers.
Myers asks the fans if they think that he and Bear Bronson as TNA World Tag Team Champions or if Alexander sucks as X Division Champion then says Eddie is a future TNA World Champion and a future TNA Hall Of Famer.
-He says The System is full of winners and Bronson adds that every person who steps up to The System gets taken out no matter how good they are.
-He says The System doesn’t care who believes because the result will always be the same: those who step up to The System will be eaten alive by the stable.

-He says the X Division Title looks really good and he’s in TNA Wrestling to take his spot.
-Aichner takes out Bronson and Myers on the outside then sends Eddie crashing out of the ring.
