In-ring promo with Josh Alexander:
Josh says, no wrestler is better than him when he’s focused and locked in. He says he proved it when he beat Will Ospreay. Then when he held the world title longer than anyone. He talked about relinquishing the title in Windsor. Now, he’s focused on regaining the title that he never lost. Josh says Hammerstone brought the fight of his life, which led to him signing in TNA.
He says Hammerstone couldn’t beat him fair and square and had to cheat to win in their rematch. Alexander mentions that Hammerstone tapped, but the referee didn’t see it. He said that Hammerstone took his headgear but it’s not his identity; his heart is his identity. He thanked Hammerstone for letting him be focused on something other than the title; he is now focused on kicking Hammerstone’s ass. Then he calls Hammerstone to fight right now.
Instead, out comes Alpha Bravo and Oleg Prudius. Bravo said that Alexander lost at Sacrifice because Dirty Dango softened him up. Alexander asked where Dango is. Dango then attacked him from behind, but Alexander fought him off. Oleg got in the ring, but security held him back. They held back Alexander also then Santino Marella walked to the stage. He says the match happen right now!

As they were face to face Steve backed up and left through the tunnel.
Ace Austin w/ Chris Bey vs. Frankie Kazarian
RESULTS: Frankie Kazarian defeats Ace Austin via submission with the Chicken Wing. That is old school! After the match, Frankie continued to beat up Bey, but Eric Young came for the save!
The System Promo:

Joe Hendry vs. Aj Francis
Before the match promo:
There’s video footage of Aj Francis at a charity basketball event! Hendry snatches the mic and says, on paper he should be afraid of AJ because he is a giant. He said AJ is also an artist and did the song “We Outside”. Joe said on the inside “we sensitive.” He brings up how AJ gets sensitive when people say things like “AJ sucks” (the fans started chanting it). He said you could turn the frown upside down by chanting “We believe!”. AJ attacks Hendry in the middle of saying his name. Fans chanted AJ sucks.
RESULTS: Aj Francis defeats Joe Hendry via pinfall with a Chokeslam. During the match, Hendry accidentally charged into the referee. Francis then brought a chair into the ring, but Hendry dropped kicked the chair into Aj. Both men then went for the chair, but Rich Swann ran down stepped on the chair. Swann teased hitting AJ but hit Hendry with it instead. Swann hit Hendry again with the chair.
