Ali said he will go to war with the Great Hands and Tasha Steelz and mentions the large member of his Secret Service will guarantee no one gets their hands on him. Ali then asks if the fans want to see him as the next TNA World Champion. He then became upset when he was booed, but the people cheered for The System and Joe Hendry. Hendry then comes out saying there are no secrets in TNA. A video is shown with Hendry with a wrestling buddy with John Skylar’s face on it. Another video was shown with “Skylar” buying an Ali shirt and using it to wipe his butt on the toilet. Ali the said this is the reason why no one believes in Hendry anymore and Ali wants him to go away. Ali turned down a challenge for tonight and instead accepted it for next week so everyone can prepare for something to truly believe in. It was noted there must been an unseen backstage segment where the made was made, because it was the main event of the first taping.
NXT star and current TNA World Champion Trick Williams comes out next. He said it’s him vs Moose at Emergence.

Mike Santana cut a promo from the stands. He said that the eyes of the world were on Slammiversary, but he lost. He had his family and culture on his back and even if he was cheated, he still lost. Santana went on to say that he has been at rock bottom, but he’s fought. When he lost his father, he fought. When he decided to bet on himself, he fought, and he fought and he fought. After losing, he had to look at his daughter crying and he knew that he had to put everything aside and go comfort his little girl. He told her everything is gonna be okay and she told him she knows because he’s gonna get Trick next time. He promised that it’s not a question of if, but when he stands in “this f—— ring” and whoops Trick.

Swann said that he’s back to make the company TNAJ. AJ then future endeavored KC from First Class. AJ called him a replacement and KC told him off. AJ said he’s been carrying 165 pounds of dead weight for 9 months. Before KC they were both champions, but KC lost constantly in First Class.
