Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt are on commentary and they welcome everyone to Kingston, Rhode Island.
TNA World Champion/NXT’s Trick Williams makes his way to the ring. Williams says that he’s breaking records at TrickNA. KC Navarro cost Williams last week’s match, but Williams is going to take care of that later tonight. Santino Marella made Moose vs. Williams official for Emergence. Williams is going to beat Moose and, if Moose keeps talking trash, Trick is going to beat Moose’s ass in front of his mama. Williams is good at beating people in their own hometown - just ask Mike Santana. Williams is going to be scanning the crowd in Baltimore for all the bobbleheaded people, knowing that they are Moose’s family, and he’s going to smack the hell out of them.
Moose’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring. Moose gets into the ring and gets in Williams’ face. Williams wants to know if he offended Moose when he talked about his big head. Moose takes the microphone and hits Williams with it. Moose goes for a spear on Williams, but Trick slips to the floor and heads to the back as Moose jaws at him from the ring.
Gabby LaSpisa is in the back with Gia Miller. Miller takes the microphone and thanks LaSpisa for covering for her. Miller thanks those who reached out to her. Miller has been resting and has recovered. Miller has a message for Tessa Blanchard - Miller has been professional, but is fed up with Blanchard. Whenever Blanchard is cleared to come back, if she lays her hands on Miller, Gia is going to (bleeping) kill her. Miller thanks LaSpisa again and says that she’ll be holding onto the microphone now.
Miller welcomes in Joe Hendry. Hendry is happy to see Miller back - she’s tough. Miller asks Hendry about his match tonight against Mustafa Ali. Ali is someone who hides behind other people. TNA doesn’t have secrets, though. Whenever Hendry appears, the entire world believes and waves their hands. By the end of the night, Ali will believe in Joe Hendry.
Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt talk about upcoming TNA events.
Sami Callihan is in the back and is approached by Mike Santana. Santana heard what Callihan said last week. Out of respect, Santana is going to put his chase of Trick Williams aside and give Callihan what he wants - a match at Emergence. They shake hands and The Northern Armory interrupts. Eric Young tells Callihan that it might be time to walk into the sunset. Young then says that Santana is a failed hero. Santana failed his TNA family AND his real family. Callihan has to calm down Santana so that he doesn’t go after Young.
Frankie Kazarian makes his way to the commentary table with a Carlos Silva trucker hat and some papers in hand. Kazarian says that the papers he’s holding prove that Carlos Silva agrees that he should be at the commentary table providing his razzle and dazzle.

They continue to brawl up the ramp until security finally gets Something to the back as Maclin continues to showcase his frustration over the match being stopped.

The doctors said that Navarro shouldn’t wrestle at Slammiversary, but Navarro risked his career for Francis.
Francis remembers Slammiversary differently. Francis remembers carrying a weak, limp Navarro through the curtain. It wasn’t the first time he had to carry Navarro. Francis has been carrying Navarro for almost a year now. Before Navarro, Francis and Swann were champions. Navarro’s first match in First Class was for the TNA World Tag Team Championships because Francis and Swann earned the opportunity.
