WINNER: Cedric Alexander in 10:00.
(D.L.’s Take: A good, fast paced opener. Moose’s injury from the previous week played into it.)
-New TNA World Champion Mike Santana was in the concourse with fans and walked into the arena through the crowd and into the ring. Santana sat in a chair in the middle of the ring. He shared an audio message from his late father telling him that he deserved to be there. Santana said that he made a statement by coming for the top spot and winning the title.

(D.L.’s Take: It appears that Ash is back in action. The addition of Mr. Elegance is not working for me and brings down the act.)

(D.L.’s Take: An action-packed match and the fans are very into the Hardys. The Order 4 vs. Elijah feud must continue.)
-The Righteous cut a promo backstage. It was kind of drowned out by the Hardys music in the background.
-The System was shown on their way to the ring. [c]
