Indi Hartwell vs. Zoey Serrano
Zoey Serrano tore up a fan’s sign proclaiming Indi Hartwell the next Knockouts World Champion before the match. Reigning champion Xia Brookside joined the commentary team.
Hartwell and Serrano began fighting near the bottom of the entrance ramp before the bell. Serrano bounced Hartwell’s face off the announce desk, but Hartwell answered with uppercuts and a barrage of punches.
Serrano repeatedly drove Hartwell back-first into the ring apron before connecting with a superkick and German suplex. Hartwell recovered and struck Serrano with a thrust kick on the floor.
Serrano then grabbed a steel chair and repeatedly struck Hartwell across the back, leaving the referee no choice but to call for the disqualification.

Agent 0 changed the complexion of the match by gorilla-pressing Hotch onto the apron. Ali followed with a hanging DDT as Order 4 began controlling the action.

Following the commercial break, Hotch planted Ali with a sit-out powerbomb and tagged Skyler. Skyler delivered a tornado DDT to Agent 0 and later speared Ali through the middle rope.
Ali recovered by sending Skyler face-first into the middle rope before applying the Sharpshooter. With no escape available, Skyler submitted.
Winners: Order 4
Ali refused to release the Sharpshooter after the bell, prompting Hotch to intervene. Agent 0 knocked Hotch down before Steelz ordered him to attack Skyler with a big boot.
Ali confronted Steelz and Agent 0 over their actions. Steelz then ordered Agent 0 to attack Ali—and he obeyed. She followed by instructing Agent 0 to take out Mila Moore, which he also did.
The four men continued brawling backstage while Steelz held the TNA International Championship. Security separated them before Director of Authority Santino Marella announced that Ali would defend the title against Agent 0, Skyler and Hotch in a four-way match at Bound for Glory.
Moose vs. A.J. Francis
A.J. Francis attacked aggressively from the opening bell, knocking Moose from the apron and driving him shoulder-first into the steel ring steps.
Moose recovered with a crossbody before joining Francis on the ropes and delivering an impressive superplex. When Moose prepared for the spear, Expressions distracted him and allowed Francis to regain control with a clothesline.
Francis and Expressions retrieved a table, but the appearance of the Dude Wipes mascot created further chaos. Expressions was sent crashing through the table on the floor, while a toilet seat also became involved in the interference.
The confusion ultimately allowed Francis to steal the victory over his longtime rival.
Winner: A.J. Francis

Syx Challenges the Hardys
Joseph Sawyer and Samuel Shaw entered the ring and addressed the string of backstage attacks that had plagued TNA.
Shaw said everyone had been asking who was responsible when they should have been asking why Syx carried out the attacks. Sawyer warned that anyone who supported TNA was now on the chopping block.
Shaw identified The Hardys as the names at the top of that list. He said Syx had already tried to kill Matt and Jeff Hardy, but they survived, which meant Syx now had another opportunity to finish the job.
The Hardys interrupted. Matt condemned Syx for attacking people from behind and hiding in the shadows, while Jeff reminded them that the legendary brothers were still standing.
Matt listed the hardships and dangerous matches they had survived throughout their careers. He declared that The Hardys were unkillable and challenged Syx to a Falls Count Anywhere, No Disqualification match at Bound for Glory.
Jeff said he did not want to wait until the pay-per-view.
The arena lights went out. When they came back on, Syx had disappeared, leaving The Hardys alone in the ring as Impact went off the air.
