Santino Marella comes to the ring and calls out Matt Cardona. Marella asks Cardona if he’s proud of himself and calls him a wedding crasher. Marella says he hit him in the jaw and it was loose for three days. Cardona says they go way back and he’s acting like he knows nothing about him. Cardona says he doesn’t work for him or TNA, he works for no one but himself.
Marella says he’s going to give Cardona an opportunity to sign a contract to fight PCO, and if he doesn’t sign the contract, he’s going to prosecute him and put him in jail. Cardona says he won’t survive in jail. Cardona says he’s going to have his lawyers look over the contract and if everything checks out, he’ll sign it.
A vignette plays for Steve Maclin where he makes it clear that Eric Young is his next target in TNA.
