The System comes to the ring for a championship celebration. Brian Myers says to feast your eyes on the greatest faction in TNA Wrestling history and points out that every member of The System is a champion. Myers says no one should be surprised by that, as they’ve all been winning titles their entire careers. Myers says The System runs on gold, and they are an absolute dynasty.
Moose says he’s played on a lot of great teams, but The System is the greatest team of all time. Moose puts them over the 1996 Chicago Bulls and says if you don’t believe him to ask Nic Nemeth and Broken Matt Hardy.
Eddie Edwards says their accomplishments speak for themselves and then puts over his wife for winning her first championship in TNA. Edwards says you’re looking at the greatest TNA Knockout of all time. Alisha says she wants to put a little more flare on the celebration and reveals a video package she made for The System.
Broken Matt Hardy interrupts the video package and makes his way to the ring. Hardy congratulates The System for winning the battle at Under Siege, but the war is far from over. Hardy says nothing is going to stop him from procuring the TNA Championship. The Broken One says after Under Siege he understands The System a little bit better and knows now what he must do to render The system Obsolete.
Hardy says this isn’t the end; it’s only the beginning. Hardy says he would love to see Moose’s Super Bowl ring. Alisha says no one can understand what he’s saying because of his accent. Hardy calls her a witch and tells her to shut up before she gets on Queen Rebecca’s radar. Moose reminds Hardy there are four of them and only one of him.
Hardy says he doesn’t like their odds and attacks them with a steel chair. Eventually, the numbers game catches up to Matt Hardy, and he gets beat down. Moose puts the chair on Hardy’s head and intends to take him out like they did Nic Nemeth. Luckily for Hardy, Ryan Nemeth makes the save with a kendo stick, and he and Hardy clear the ring.

Gabby questions if Ash is so angry because of her loss to Xia Brookside on TNA iMPACT a couple of weeks ago.
