Femi says that he’s heard about Moose for a while. There’s been a fascination of a match between him and Moose. The time is now. But…why now? 

Moose says that he’s a prize fighter and always fights for the biggest prize in the game. He waited because he knew Femi would one day be the NXT World Champion. Once he was, that’s when Moose would cross the line. 

Femi says that he knows Moose is dominant and a freakish athlete. He’s taken out so many big names. However, none of those names are Oba Femi.

Moose says that Femi is right about one thing - that Moose is the face of TNA. In a few days, though, at Madison Square Garden - he’s going to beat Femi and be the face of NXT. 

Femi says that if Moose is the face of the franchise, why doesn’t Moose tell everyone in the ring to leave and they can settle it now. Moose tells JDC that he knew Femi would say that. JDC grabs the microphone and offers a spot to anyone willing to jump Femi. All of the security guards attack Femi, but he fights them all off. Femi then drops all of The System members, except for Moose. He tosses a security guard over the top rope onto all of the other security members.

The System then gets the better of Femi. They use their numbers to attack and hold Femi for Moose. Moose goes for a big boot on Femi, but Femi moves and Moose hits JDC. Femi takes out Brian Myers and Eddie Edwards, but that allows Moose to hit a Spear on Femi. Moose then picks up both the NXT Championship and the TNA X-Division Championship. He holds both up over his head while standing over Oba Femi.

Fraxiom has a message for The Hardys. The plan is to win on Tuesday and become the top tag team in the industry. If The Hardys aren’t going to pass the torch, then Fraxiom is going to take it from them…along with the TNA World Tag Team Titles. Fraxiom will be watching The Hardys’ match against The Colons tonight very closely.
