Alisha Edwards starts by asking the TNA Faithful, “Do you wanna know something?” She then brags about The System coming out of Emergence victorious. Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers follow up by announcing they are invoking their TNA Tag Team title rematch clause against ABC at Victory Road.
Moose grabs the mic and declares that JDC will only become an official member of The System if they win their tag team match later tonight—if they lose, he’s out.
Moose also talks trash to Nic Nemeth ahead of their TNA World Title match at Victory Road. Alisha Edwards then says she knows her rights as a champion and is under concussion protocol, meaning she doesn’t have to defend the Knockouts World Tag Team Championships. If needed, she can find a replacement. Enter Spitfire! Jody Threat informs Alisha that they talked to Santino Marella, and Spitfire will get another shot at the titles at Victory Road. However, if they lose, Spitfire will disband.
