This week’s episode starts off with a recap of TNA Sacrifice - the battle between Mike Santana and Mustafa Ali, the Ladder Match between Moose and Jeff Hardy, the 10-Man Tag Team Cage Match, and the actions of Nic and Ryan Nemeth that closed out the show.
Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt are on commentary and welcome everyone to El Paso, Texas.
TNA Knockouts World Champion Masha Slamovich makes her way to the ring. She says that Cora Jade stepped up at Sacrifice and brought the fight, but it wasn’t enough. Slamovich travels all over the world with the championship and represents TNA with great pride. She’s on a mission to prove that she’s the toughest wrestler in the division. She’s on a new mission, though - to prove that she’s the best champion in all of wrestling. Slamovich is willing to defend the belt against anybody anytime.
Tessa Blanchard’s music hits and she comes out to the top of the ramp. Blanchard gives Slamovich some advice - she should talk less and spend more time getting dressed in the morning. Blanchard could have beaten Cora Jade with her eyes closed. She has beaten the best in the world and has done things other women can only dream of. It’s time for Blanchard to take back the belt.
Just as Slalmovich is about to respond to Blanchard, Jacy Jayne attacks Slamovich from behind and beats on her until referees and security pull her off. Santino Marella comes out to the top of the ramp and tells Jayne that what she did isn’t how they conduct themselves in TNA. If she wants a fight, though, then it’ll be Jacy Jayne vs. Masha Slamovich next week on TNA iMPACT! Marella then tells Tessa Blanchard that she’s not the center of the universe, so she’s banned from ringside during the Jayne vs. Slamovich match next week.

Santino Marella approaches Arianna Grace in the back. He wants answers for what happened with Jacy Jayne. Grace knows nothing about what Jayne did - it wasn’t agreed upon by NXT. Grace only knows about the surprise for later. She’s going to get to the bottom of what happened with Jayne.
The Northern Armory with Eric Young vs. The Rascalz
Eric Young joins the commentary table.
Zachary Wentz and Judas Icarus start things off with a lock up. Icarus grabs an arm and tries to work it over, but Wentz flips out of the hold.

Rosemary spitting green mist into Xia Brookside’s face from last week is shown.
Gia Miller is in the back with Xia Brookside. Brookside says she is mostly doing fine and won’t let what Rosemary did bother her. Brookside talks about how every time she tries to do the right thing, someone takes advantage of her. She feels like Rosemary is trying to get into her head.
Rosemary appears on the screen behind Miller and Brookside. Rosemary wants to know if Brookside felt it…that fire and desire inside of her that is dying to let go.

AJ Francis and KC Navarro come out for the First Class Penthouse. Francis has no idea how El Paso got a second episode of the First Class Penthouse. No one in El Paso deserves to be in First Class…which brings out Chavo Guerrero Jr. Francis says that anyone who wrestled in WCW needs to sit down before they get hurt. If he wanted to have the second best Guerrero on the First Class Penthouse, he would have called Dominik.
Frankie Kazarian comes out and First Class says no one invited him to the First Class Penthouse. Kazarian says that Francis could have invited anyone to the show and he invited…Chavo Guerrero Jr.? Kazarian says that he still has heat with Chavo from when Guerrero and Hernandez stole the Tag Team Titles from Kazarian and Christopher Daniels. Well, now Kazarian is the King of TNA and informs Guerrero Jr. that he’s not welcome.
Guerrero says that Kazarian has been doing a great job. Kazarian can talk smack about Chavo all he wants, but no one gets to talk smack about El Paso. AJ Francis says that the numbers are against Guerrero. It’s three against one. Chavo corrects him - there might be one of him, but there are 3,000 people in the building. Plus…he has the Aztec Warriors, who come out and stand next to Guerrero. Chavo challenges First Class and Kazarian to a 6-Man Tag Team Match next week on iMPACT!

The fans chant for The Hardys and Nic says that they aren’t coming out tonight. He tells everyone to shut up so he can talk. About a year ago, everyone started talking about TNA again and they were right to do so…because of him. Over the course of the last year, Nic became the face of the company and helped shows sell out. During that time, though, The Hardys slid in and took all the credit. Matt Hardy tried to drive a wedge between The Nemeths, but family is the most important thing. But now, everyone knows what frauds The Hardys are. Everyone now knows that Nic is the greatest wrestler of all-time and they are also looking at the greatest tag team of all-time.
Leon Slater comes out to the top of the ramp. He’s tired of hearing The Nemeths talk bollocks. They are crazy to talk badly about The Hardys. Slater has realized that Nic can’t steal the show because the show has already been stolen (by Slater). Nic says that he’s rich and the greatest wrestler of all-time. Slater wouldn’t have a job without him. Ryan then challenges Leon Slater to take on Nic Nemeth next week on iMPACT! Slater says that maybe he’ll slide into the ring and take them on now.
