Morrisey showed up and said Cardona won't get a title shot because he'll be waiting. Cardona said he'll see Morrisey at Turning Point then.

Gia Miller does a sit-down interview with Deonna Purrazzo. She said she's been home. She is evasive about when she will return to the ring. She said she's only here because she's contractually obligated to be here. Purrazzo said no one deserves anything from her. She's a two-time Knockouts Champion, so she's lost the belt before. She's also the Virtuosa, so she can analyze and correct her mistakes. It does nothing for her to tell anyone what's next. Everyone will have to wait. She walked off.
They showed Josh Alexander preparing for the main event.
FinJuice said they walked out empty handed several times recently. They have been at the bottom and climbed to the top. Scott D'Amore showed up and said they've had a rough patch but sometimes, they just need focus. It's going to be FinJuice vs. Decay on the Countdown to Turning Point.
They went to the latest Violence by Design video package. Rhyno had freedom and purity and saw the truth. He was part of something special but made a choice. With choices come ramifications. Eric Young is going to take Rhino and Heath down and build a monument of violence in their memories. They made the wrong choice and this is going to be over forever at Turning Point.
