We hear from Nic Nemeth:

Nemeth talks on his path to TNA. He declares he’s coming after the TNA World title! Nic says he respects the locker room enough not just to stroll in and get the title match. This is his first day and he’s going to start all over and earn his way to the top. This time, he’s doing it as Nic Nemeth.

Out comes STEVE MACLIN! Steve calls out Nemeth for claiming he gives to the business. He only gives but never takes. Nemeth tries to talk, but Maclin lowers his mic. Maclin says Nic will suck the blood out of TNA and go on to somewhere else. Fans won’t remember Nic Nemeth, they’ll ask what happened to Dolph Ziggler. Maclin knocks his mic out, so Nemeth slaps him and then hits Danger Zone to lay Maclin out.

After the match, Scott D’Amore got in the ring and said “Holy shit!” Fans followed suit. Scott put over the match and talked about watching wrestling for years, even at his grandfather’s bedside. He talked about Bruce Pritchard announcing TNA as dead. D’Amore said the fans and people like Alexander and Ospreay rolled up their sleeves and brought it back. Fans chanted “TNA!” Scott said that chant never died because of them. He said the name gave wrestlers like Tasha Steelz and Jordynne Grace something to live for.  Scott says Alexander and Ospreay were two of the greatest wrestlers. Scott says that TNA is back and is never going away again.
