-Recap of last week’s show.
-Ethan Page came to the ring for a promo. He insulted the crowd and talked about getting his start in TNA. He said at Rebellion, he would beat Frankie Kazarian and Joe Hendry to finally become TNA World Champion. He vowed to bring the belt to NXT.
Frankie Kazarian walked to the ring. He said Page couldn’t come crawling back to TNA. Fans chanted “You both suck!” Frankie called Page a feeble-minded idiot. He said he never liked Page. Frankie said he earned his title shot, but Page kissed Santino Marella’s butt to get the shot. Frankie said he would win the title at Rebellion.
Santino walked to the stage. He said that Joe Hendry would be out later tonight to talk about Rebellion and Unbreakable and it would affect both of them.
-Gia Miller interviewed Steve Maclin. She asked him about his match tonight. He said the System would probably be involved, but he didn’t need anyone watching his back. Eric Young and the Northern Armory walked in and offered to have his back. Maclin said he didn’t need their help and told them to stay out of it. [c]

(2) MOOSE vs. CODY DEANER
JDC offered Deaner a position in The System as a lackey to wash his back and carry his bags. Deaner left it up to the fans. The fans urged him to refuse the offer. Deaner said if he could beat Moose for the X Division Title, he could stay in TNA. Moose said that if Deaner could last two minutes in the ring with Moose, he would give Deaner a title match. Deaner accepted.
A two-minute timer was put on the screen. Moose immediately powerbombed Deaner twice. He went for the pin but pulled Deaner up at two. Moose threw Deaner out of the ring. Deaner ran from Moose to run out the clock. Fans counted down to zero. At that point, the match became a title match.

WINNER: Eddie Edwards
-A somber Joe Hendry came to the ring to give an update on his injury. He said he had a rotator cuff injury. He said it’s his belief that if you can’t defend the championship, then you shouldn’t be the champion. Fans chanted “We believe!” He said the medical team advised him not to compete. He got louder and said he informed the medical team that he would defend the belt at Rebellion. Fans cheered. He said he would defend against the two scumbags, Frankie Kazarian and Ethan Page, and come out as champion.
Frankie Kazarian walked to the stage to boos. He said he was sick of Hendry and predicated a win at Rebellion. Hendry said at Unbreakable, Frankie and Tessa Blanchard would take on him and Masha Slamovich.
