(D.L.’s Take: I’m not sure who was supposed to be the heel and who was supposed to be the face here. Fans support seemed split. This appeared to be the end of the feud and perhaps the end of Choo’s time in TNA.)
-From the Vault: A never-before-seen match from June 15, 2024 between Mustafa Ali and Mike Santana aired. It turned into a tag team match where Joe Hendry and Santana beat Ali and Campaign Singh.

WINNER: Moose in 26:00 to win the X Division Title.
(D.L.’s Take: A PPV caliber match. This was Moose’s best match in some time. Moose as X Division champion could lead to some interesting match-ups.)
-As Moose walked up the ramp, Trent Seven came out and got in the ring. Seven and Bailey hugged. Seven raised Bailey’s hand, hugged him again, then gave him a low blow and a clothesline. Seven choked Bailey with a towel then threw him over the top rope to the floor.
