I don’t know what it is about these video packages and backstage segments tonight, but I’m not sure TNA is even trying anymore.

This video package is AUTO-TUNED in certain parts.

Robbie E. is the first man to make his way out to the ring for this match, and since they both have the same name, for the play-by-play, he’ll be Robbie for the purposes of this match.
