Earlier today, Steve Maclin was shown being denied entry into the building. Maclin says he will have something to say.
TNA Champion Mike Santana makes his way through the crowd. He addresses Maclin attacking him at No Surrender, pointing out Maclin doesn’t even work here anymore and wasn’t man enough to confront him face-to-face. Santana then calls out Leon Slater, who comes to the ring. Santana apologizes for not having Slater’s back when Maclin struck. Slater accepts, but says this is what happens in TNA. He then noted that he pinned Nic Nemeth at the PPV. This brought out The Nemeth Brothers. Nic claims Slater got lucky. They go back and forth until a tag match is set. Daria Rae came out and said it wouldn't happen tonight but perhaps next week.
Backstage, The System cut a promo. Bryan Myers says Moose made a mistake. They want all the gold in the company.
Frankie Kazarian is told he can sit in on commentary next week.
TNA Knockouts Champion Arianna Grace and Stacks come out. Grace is celebrating her title win. She says her father helped her get the the title shot but she won the belt all on her own. She promises Stacks will regain the International title tonight.
TNA International Champion Trey Miguel vs. Stacks
Stacks looks for quick pins early. Miguel responds with a big arm drag and a series of kicks. Stacks powders for a bit, hides behind Grace, but superkicks Miguel when he pursues. He has words with TNA President Carlos Silva, which allows Miguel to mount a comeback. It's cut off whrn Miguel is sent into the buckles, then slammed and cinched into a chinlock. Miguel fights free and brings the offense, including several, clotheslines and a moonsault.ands a springboard moonsault. Stacks fired back and they battle on top. Miguel comes off with The Meteora. Stacks comes back with an enziguiri. Miguel makes a comeback and scores the pin with The Lighting Spiral. This was very good. One of the better Stacks appearances to date.
Your winner and still TNA International Champion, Trey Miguel!
