He announced that Joe Hendry will address his status for TNA Rebellion later in the show.

Steve Maclin Turns Down Eric Young Again

Steve Maclin was asked by Gia Miller how he plans to deal with the numbers game from The System. Eric Young and The Northern Armory offered their assistance no matter what. Maclin told Young that he did not want their help.

Mustafa Ali w/The Great Hands and Tasha Steelz vs. Ace Austin

Before the match began, JDC told Cody Deaner to stop pandering to the fans. He couldn’t remember the last time Deaner won a match. JDC offered Deaner a position as a janitor in The System. Deaner asked the fans if he should “join” The System. The crowd said no. Deaner instead suggested challenging Moose for the TNA X Division Championship. Moose laughed off the request before saying that if Dean can last two minutes with him, he’ll get his title shot.

The bell rang, and Deaner charged forward but ate a big boot. Moose hit the Last Ride powerbomb. Moose hit another powerbomb but refused to allow the referee to count to three. Deaner ran away from Moose outside of the ring to allow the two minutes to expire. Two minutes ran out, and this is now an X Division title match.

Joe Hendry Addresses TNA Rebellion Status

TNA World Champion Joe Hendry was out to address his rotator cuff injury suffered during last week’s TNA iMPACT episode. Hendry said he’s long believed that if the champion can’t defend their title, they should not be a champion. Hendry revealed TNA’s medical team has advised him not to compete, but he doesn’t care what they think. Hendry vowed to defend his title against Ethan Page and Frankie Kazarian at “TNA Rebellion.” He promised to successfully defend his gold. He called Page and Kazarian the biggest scumbags he’s ever met.

Kazarian walked out, tired of Hendry’s “Tony Robbins routine.” He said Hendry will barely be able to walk into the build for TNA Rebellion. Kazarian said Hendry won’t be able to hang with the “King of TNA” if he’s not healthy. The champion then revealed he would team up with TNA Knockouts World Champion Masha Slamovich to take on Kazarian and Tessa Blanchard at TNA Unbreakable. Hendry’s music played to close out the show.
