This week’s episode of TNA iMPACT kicks off with a video recap of Slammiversary from Saturday night.
Nic Nemeth comes to the ring and says he’s proud to be the TNA World Champion. Nemeth says Slammiversary could have gone multiple ways but he’s happy that Moose is no longer TNA Champion. Nemeth says that, unlike Moose, he will be a fighting champion because that’s what a champion does.
Nic Nemeth says he’ll fight anyone from any wrestling company for the TNA Championship and make it the greatest title in all of professional wrestling. Nemeth is interrupted by Mustafa Ali who says Nemeth winning the title is much deserved, but it’s not more important than what happened to him at Slammiversary.
Mustafa Ali says Slammiversay was the biggest screwjob in the history of professional wrestling. Nemeth says Ali did a hell of a job as champion but Speedball beat his ass. Ali says Speedball didn’t beat him, he screwed him really hard. Nemeth says that’s none of their business. The crowd chants that Ali deserved it.
Nemeth says Montreal makes a great point and says we all saw Speedball tap him out. Ali says he doesn’t appreciate Nemeth’s underhanded comments and announces a new campaign in which he makes the TNA World Title great again. Nemeth says he doesn’t have to launch a campaign because he’s a fighting champion and says he’ll put the title on the line right now.
Ali says he would love that but he’d prefer to have it next week. The crowd boos as Ali tries to sneak attack Nemeth but gets tossed out of the ring instead.
Does Matt Hardy believe in Joe Hendry?
TNA World Tag Team Champions ABC and Matt Hardy are backstage. Chris Bey says they are no strangers to The System but they know the numbers game will be involved tonight. Matt Hardy says he’s had a premonition that someone is willing to appear that everyone believes in. Ace Austin says they trust him.
Nic and Ryan Nemeth are backstage. They are interrupted by Frankie Kazarian who says he heard what Nic said in the ring tonight making proclamations like he’s a king. Kazarian says there is only one king in TNA. Nic says Kazarian is the king but he pinned him in the middle of the ring at Slammiversary, so if he wants a title shot he can get to the back of the line.
Ryan and Frankie have words and Santino Marella shows up and makes a match between the two men for next week’s show.

Alexander says he’s a real Canadian and he can’t wait to go back to Toronto. Alexander asks the crowd if they want an explanation and he drops the microphone instead and leaves.
TNA X-Division Champion Speedball Mike Bailey is backstage. Speedball says he’s still feeling the emotion from the biggest win of his career.
