Winners: The System

Masha Slamovich is in her Kill Room. She sacrificed everything for the last ten years just to beat her best friend for the TNA Knockouts World Championship. Slamovich is sick of Tessa Blanchard.

Dreamer is proud of her. Slamovich is special. She has to defend the title for Rodz AND herself.

Mike Santana and Derek are at an addiction meeting. Derek is thankful to be allowed back in the group. Santana wants to share. He sees strength around the room - people who have woken up every day and made a choice to finally turn around, stop running, and face their demons. Everyone has woken up today and looked in the mirror. They are finally learning to love what’s looking back. A great man once spoke about hard times and staying true. Santana has stayed true. It’s about using weakness to create strength. It’s about using weakness to push yourself forward. Mustafa Ali has a weakness - he can’t face the truth. He wakes up every day and runs. Ali is the true addict. He’s addicted to Mike Santana. Ali looks at Santana, someone who has brought himself up from the very bottom and will keep rising. Ali is obsessed because he can’t control what’s meant to be - the fact that Santana will keep climbing the ladder. What’s the definition of an addict?...someone who cannot admit they have a problem. Another great man once said that you have to become a monster to fight the other monsters in the world. At Rebellion, Ali will come face-to-face with a monster…and Ali can’t run this time. At Rebellion, Santana will fight. It’s all he knows. He fights for his friends, family, his little girl, and anyone who hasn’t made it to the room yet. He’ll keep fighting.

Heather by Elegance is panicking with The Personal Concierge and Maggie Lee as she calls Ash. Ash just got a DM about the Four-Way Title Match at Rebellion. Heather is so sorry. She was under so much stress! Ash does some quick Math…they now only have a 25% chance of winning and they don’t even have to be pinned to lose the titles. It’s ridiculous! Ash hangs up. Heather thinks they can figure things out. The Personal Concierge says that they must win by any means necessary.

Arianna Grace joins the commentary table for the next match.
