After the commercial break, The Nemeths are still in the ring. Ryan Nemeth says that they are not leaving the ring because his biiiig brrrooooother has something to say.

Mike Santana makes his way through the crowd and stops on the steps with a microphone. Santana says that the eyes of the wrestling world were locked on Slammiversary. Santana lost. Santana had his family, city, and culture on his back…and he lost. Santana has been to the bottom before and has been so low in his life that he looked the devil in his face…but he fought. Santana lost his father…and fought. Santana bet on himself and was doubted…but he fought. Santana starts making his way to the ring.
Santana gets emotional and says that one of the hardest things that he had to deal with was watching his daughter cry after his loss. He knew he had to be a father and comfort her. When Santana told her everything would be OK, she said, “I know because you’re going to get ‘em next time!” Santana gets on the apron and says that the thirty minute drive back home was quiet. When they got home, though, he made a promise to his daughter and he’s making that promise tonight. Santana gets into the ring. It’s not a matter of “if,” but “when.” SANTANA WILL BE TNA WORLD CHAMPION!

Order 4 makes their way out for their Slammiversary Victory Rally. John Skyler tells the crowd to rise and shut their stupid mouths so that they can clap for Mustafa Ali. Ali says that TNA is filled with chaos and disorder because outsiders have infiltrated the locker room. Outsiders are taking away every day opportunities. Ali says, “No more! Enough! It is time…for change!” Ali says that change lies with Order 4. Ali will go to war with The Great Hands by his side. Tasha Steelz will ensure that Ali’s good word is heard around the world. Ali says that his personal weapon of mass destruction, Agent 0, will ensure that no one opposes him. Who wants to see Ali as the next TNA World Champion? No one in the crowd does.
Ali says that the crowd’s boos mean nothing to him. He has seen what they cheer for. They cheer for an addict like Mike Santana, degenerates like The System, and a fraud like Joe Hendry. Well, Ali said his name, so he appears!
Joe Hendry makes his way out to the top of the ramp. Hendry understands that Ali is upset, but needs to correct him one thing. Ali has a secret service? Hendry says that TNA has no secrets. There are cameras everywhere. The cameras picked up embarrassing footage of John Skyler. The footage is shown and it’s Skyler’s face on a Hendry buddy. The Skyler/Hendry buddy is in catering and then buying merchandise. He bought a Hendry shirt and used an Order 4 shirt to wipe his ass.
Ali says that this is why no one believes in Hendry. Everything to Hendry is a joke. Ali wishes that he could say Hendry’s name and he could disappear. Hendry challenges Ali to a match tonight. Ali says “no.” Ali says that they’ll do it next week because he wants to give Hendry and the fans time to prepare for something “truly to believe in.” Hendry says that next week, the fans will be chanting “We Believe!”
Tom Hannifan conducted an interview with Sami Callihan earlier in the week. Hannifan says that a lot of people are worried about Callihan. Lately, things have been said that make people worry about Callihan’s future. Callihan says that he’s never been more embarrassed. Callihan isn’t mad at what Moose said - he’s disgusted with himself. Hannifan talks about Moose’s words and disagrees with what Moose said. Even Moose took back some of his words publicly. Callihan says that maybe Moose was trying to get through to him. Callihan says he hasn’t been the same since breaking his leg. Callihan gained sixty pounds and has always struggled with weight. Callihan struggled with bulimia for a while. People calling Callihan fat isn’t new. Maybe Callihan is just a fat piece of (bleep). Callihan works backstage and loves TNA. Being in front of the camera may be a disservice to the company. Hannifan asks Callihan if he’s about to retire. Callihan says that there’s one thing to do - does he have or not? Callihan wants a match against Mike Santana at Emergence to see if still has it. If Callihan wins, maybe he’s still the Death Machine. If Callihan loses, then maybe he retires.
