As Matt Hardy says that last week's actions were good for business for the Matt Hardy brand, Eric Young and Bram show up. EY takes pride in bringing immense pain to both Bobby Roode and Jeff Hardy, and praises Matt as world champ, but says the title goes through him. Kurt Angle shows up and says he's talked to TNA official concerning his next farewell tour match...and it's him vs Matt for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. A livid Matt Hardy tells Kurt Angle he will end his career if he keeps this up, but Angle says he can whup everyone in the ring right now if he has to. Suddenly, Beer Money ("The Cowboy" James Storm and Bobby Roode) show up, and they're in the mood for a fight, and declare that they will give a beatdown to Eric Young and Bram.

Drew Galloway says Feast or Fired was a big risk, but he now controls his own destiny. Tyrus shows up and tells him to set the briefcase down and walk away as it is a target on his chest. Drew tells him he has no plans of doing that, and Tyrus pretty much tells Drew that it's his funeral.

Lashley beats Aiden O'Shea despite the distraction provided by Raquel. After the match, Raquel heads into the ring and gets a microphone. She tells Lashley the same message as last time: she can bring him pain, or she can bring him pleasure.

Ethan Carter III says the world will hear it all tonight...

Gail wants none of this, and wants to fight her right now. Maria retreats.

Matt's new music hits, and "Big Money Matt" shows up late to tick Jeff off. Reby Sky also shows up, as does Tyrus, who is holding baby Maxwell. Reby says Jeff abandoned Matt when he became "a redneck Evil Knievel." After Reby turns her back on Jeff and the crowd, Jeff makes it clear that there a lot of bitches in the ring. Matt says that he simply took Reby's advice: stop giving, start taking. As he keeps saying that Jeff is standing in his shadow, Jeff tells him just how appalled he is. Matt says that it might as well be time for the two Hardys to go their separate ways. Jeff Hardy says he stands by calling the now-chanted-for Ethan Carter III the best wrestler on the planet, simply because he won the World title fairly. Jeff, now medically clear, then says he wants to be the first person that Matt defends the title against. Matt grants him that match, saying he loves his brother, but that he will wash his hands of any and all guilt stemming from what he does to his brother tonight.

After the match, Jeff Jarrett and the Global Force Wrestling roster rush into the ring, but Roode gets out of dodge. Jarrett tells Dixie Carter that he and GFW aren't leaving until he takes back what is his and - according to Jarrett - stole from him. Dixie Carter shows up, flabbergasted at Jarrett's accusations, and tells him that all she wanted was to work by his side. Jarrett says he and Carter were a very successful team until she took his power and replaced him a series of failed regimes. He says the days of failed regimes are over, and that GFW will complete the take-over. Carter reminds Jarrett that he left TNA and she has stayed in the fight that continues to this day, and that Jarrett removed himself from power, not her. Dixie admits Jarrett taught her a lot about wrestling, but that he also taught her a lot about ego, especially when he took his ball and went home. Carter acknowledges Jarrett still has ownership in the company, and proposes a match where she puts her ownership at stake and the winner gets both her majority shares and Jarrett's shares in the company. Jarrett is willing to take the challenge, but says Dixie has nobody behind her. Drew Galloway shows up again, and tells Jarrett that he and GFW can go straight to hell, and that he's here to stand up for Dixie and TNA. The Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards) and Lashley, show up when Galloway says that if they want a hostile take-over, they're "going to have to go through all of us." Galloway deems them "Team TNA," and tells Jarrett and GFW to fashion the white flag of surrender.
