TNA Tag Team Champions Eddie Edwards & Brian Myers vs. Nic & Ryan Nemeth.
Dirty Dango showed up at ringside and pointed out Alisha trying to interfere, so she was ejected. Is this all a plot to add Dango to The System? We shall see soon enough.
The Champions cut off Nic and they spent some time tagging in and out, scoring near falls. Ryan tagged in but the champs continued the assault. Ryan nailed a sunset flip on Myers but Edwards immediately attacked him from behind. Myers and Ryan cracked heads and were both down. Moose ran out to rally Myers, who tagged Edwards.

Nic went for the Danger Zone but Eddie held on. Nic superkicked Myers. He nailed Danger Zone on Eddie. The referee went to count the pin but someone pulled the referee out. Moose and Dango blamed each other. Nic dove down on Moose. Dango drilled Ryan, turning heel, setting up the pinfall.
Your winners and still TNA Tag Team Champions, The System!
Good match. The Dango turn worked. It made sense to move him into a more prominent role.
Gia Miller interviewed ABC. They were asked about the team after losing to The Nemeths last night. Ace Austin said she knows him and he doesn't deal with luck. They are going to win tonight and get their Tag Team title rematch. Bey said they teamed for the first time two years ago against pillars of the company and tonight they will do it again.
They showed Jordynne Grace backstage getting stitches in her ear after getting earrings ripped out on the TNA PPV.
Joe Hendry with Ace Steel vs. Frankie Kazarian
Joe said there was speculation as to whether he was going to show up tonight, but he chose to be in Chicago and TNA. He said he's facing a TNA legend in Kazarian, then said he looks like a famous actor. He said that he looks like Antonio Banderas, who had a hit in Desperado but may be hanging on too long. He asked if Frankie was the dad from Spy Kids.
Some good back and forth wrestling early, as you'd likely expect, Kazarian was slammed with authority and nailed with a delayed vertical suplex. Kazarian cut him off and nailed a slingshot legdrop off the ropes for a two count. He cinched on a guillotine choke but the crowd rallied Hendry, who escaped. Kazarian went for a move off the ropes but was caught and hit with a Fall Away Slam.
Hendry went for the Standing Ovation but Kaz blocked and went for the Crossface Chicken Wing. Hendry blocked but was almost pinned several times. Hendery escaped Fade to Black and went for a powerbomb. Kazarian escaped but Hendry nailed a pop-up powerbomb for a two count. Real good wrestling. Hendry went for a belly to back suplex from the outside into the ring but Kazarian scored the pin. It turned out Kaz hit him with a foreign object - the old Tito Santana vs. Randy Savage finish when Savage won the Intercontinental title.
Your winner. Frankie Kazarian!
Kazarian attacked and locked Hendry in the chicken wing but Ace Steel hit the ring. Fans were chanting for Steel to bite him. Kaz disrespected Steel and shoved him, so Steel slugged him.
I am guessing Steel returning to the ring in our near future.
X-Division Champion Mustafa Ali vs. Trent Seven
Seven said that he wanted to show everyone the footage of what happened after Ali's interview with Tom Hannifan ended. It was Ali berating Campaign Singh and crapping on Chicago before crapping on the X-Division title. The audio was off and the crowd chanted, "What he say?"
Ali was furious and Seven took advantage of him being thrown off early, working him over on the floor. Seven nailed rapid-fire chops on the floor. Seven worked over Ali and went for a German suplex but Ali fought out of it and nailed a DDT off the ropes. Ali nailed a dive to the floor but Seven shoved him backwards into the ring apron. Seven nailed a Dragon suplex on the floor.
Seven nailed a twisting dive off the ropes but Ali moved out of the way. Seven's knee was bothering him, allowing to attack with a charging kick. Ali worked him over but caught in the corner and slammed in the center for a two count. Seven nailed several hard chops but Ali nailed him in the corner, then followed up with a rolling neckbreaker.
They battled back and forth with chops. Ali drove his knee into the canvas from the ropes. Seven fought back and nailed a Dragon Suplex. Seven nailed a sit-out powerbomb for a two count. Ali lowblowed Seven and nailed a lariat for a two count. The crowd chanted it was three. They battled to the top but Ali escaped and superkicked Seven. Ali went for a move but Seven turned it into a driver off the ropes for a close two count. The crowd chanted for TNA. Very good match.
They battled againn to the top. They drilled each other with punches and knocked the other from the top, each crashing to the floor after bouncing off the apron. They were each almost counted out. Seven rolled in at 9 but didn't realize Ali was on the top and pounced with a 450 splash off the top across Seven's back. Seven somehow still kicked up.
Ali grabbed the X-Division title and brought it into the ring. The referee took it away, and Ali went to grab Seven. Seven lowblowed Ali and nailed a Burning Hammer for a two count.

Ali nailed a 450 splash to the legs and locked on a Sharpshooter. Seven tapped.
Your winner and still X-Division Champion Mustafa Ali!
They played it up as if Ali was sending a message to Speedball Mike Bailey, who is Canadian.
Really damn good match.
