If it wasn't for Masha "Slamowitch," she'd still be champion. With that, Masha Slamovich comes to the ring. Alisha reminds Masha that she is under concussion protocol and can't be touched. She says that Masha is nothing without her, as she was the brains of Malisha. Alisha claims that Masha can't understand her because she doesn't speak English.

Young says Alexander has to take things more seriously.

Masha Slamovich is approached by Jordynne Grace in the back. She says that she thinks Masha should answer one of her open challenges. Masha says that it might be a possibility, but she has other things to worry about right now. She knocks on The Hardy's door.

When he first came to the company, he had a goal. That goal is still the same - the TNA World Championship. He's had a huge amount of support from the fans, but a lot of people in the back don't show the same support. It's the fans who believe. No matter how much people try to hold him down, the audience lifts him up - and they'll continue to do so as he goes for the TNA World Championship.
