The System has a celebration
The System comes to the ring for a championship celebration. Brian Myers kicked things off and told everyone to feast your eyes on the greatest faction in TNA Wrestling history. He also mentioned that each member of The System has a title right now. Myers said that they’ve all been winning titles their entire career so this should be no surprise. Myers says The System runs on gold, and they ARE a dynasty. Moose says he’s played on a lot of great teams, but The System is the greatest team of all time. Eddie Edwards says their accomplishments speak for themselves. He then congratulates his wife for winning her first Tag Team Knockouts championship. Alisha says she wants more flare and we see a hype video for The System.

Broken Matt Hardy is out and he gives kudos to The System for capturing more gold at Under Siege, but he also says that the war is far from over. Hardy says nothing is going to stop him from procuring the TNA Championship. He then adds that he now understands The System, and he knows what he must do to render The system Obsolete. Hardy says this isn’t the end; it’s only the beginning. Hardy calls Alisha 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 as he starts to attack The System with a chair. Matt gets over taken and Moose puts the chair on Hardy’s head and was going to taken him out the same way they did Nic Nemeth, but Ryan Nemeth makes the save with a kendo stick in hand.
