The action started fast and quickly spilled to the outside, where Ali hit a German suplex on Alexander.

Leon Slater entered first, followed by the champion, Moose, who made his entrance on a throne. Moose dominated the opening moments of the match. The action spilled to the floor, where Slater cleverly countered a powerbomb attempt, causing Moose to spear the steel ring steps and injure his shoulder.

Result: Leon Slater defeated Moose to become the new TNA X-Division Champion.
AJ Styles Returns to TNA
Following Leon Slater’s championship celebration, the theme for “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles hit, and he made his way to the ring to an enormous ovation from the record-breaking crowd.
Styles got on the microphone and asked the fans if they missed him, stating it was good to be back in the place where he made his name. He praised the young talent in TNA, pointing specifically to Leon Slater becoming the youngest X-Division Champion in history.
When the fans started a “You deserve it!” chant for Slater, Styles corrected them. “He doesn’t deserve it,” Styles said. “He earned it.” The crowd cheered and then began a “Welcome Back!” chant for Styles. “The Phenomenal One” continued, saying that Slater reminded everyone that the X-Division “isn’t about weight limits, it’s about no limits.” He mentioned some of the legendary names he shared the ring with during his own time in the X-Division before congratulating the new champion one more time.
Styles’ music played as he applauded for Leon Slater. After Slater left the ring, Styles posed on the ropes for the fans to end the segment. There was no angle but Styles seemingly said something off mic about one more match in TNA.
TNA Tag-Team Championship Ladder Match: The Nemeths (c) vs. The Rascalz vs. First Class vs. The Hardys
The participants for the four-way ladder match made their entrances: The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz & Myron Reed, who was filling in for an injured Trey Miguel), First Class (AJ Francis & KC Navarro, who was also noted as being injured), the defending champions The Nemeths (Nic & Ryan Nemeth), and finally The Hardys (Matt & Jeff Hardy).
The match began with immediate chaos as multiple ladders were brought into the ring. The Rascalz and The Nemeths hit a series of high spots early on. At one point, Ryan Nemeth confronted MLB legend Johnny Damon at ringside, which led to Damon shoving him. Later, AJ Francis performed a moonsault off a ladder onto a pile of competitors in the ring. In another major spot, Francis and Navarro were on a ladder that was pushed over, causing them to crash through two ladder bridges set up near the entrance ramp.
Jeff Hardy laid KC Navarro across another ladder bridge at ringside and hit a Swanton bomb, though the ladder did not break upon impact.
For the finish, a rope ladder was dropped from the ceiling. Ryan Nemeth attempted to climb it but was hit with a steel chair by Matt Hardy. Nic Nemeth then tried to climb, but Jeff Hardy stopped him. Jeff then ascended the rope ladder and successfully retrieved the championship belts to win the match.
Result: The Hardys defeated The Nemeths, The Rascalz, and First Class to become the new TNA Tag-Team Champions.
Pre-Main Event Segment
Before the main event, TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella announced that Tessa Blanchard has been suspended indefinitely for her actions earlier in the night. As the pre-show panel was giving their main event predictions, they were interrupted by Frankie Kazarian. “The King of TNA” came out, insulted Busted Open Radio’s David LaGreca, and announced he would be providing special guest commentary for the main event.
TNA World Championship: Trick Williams (c) vs. Joe Hendry vs. Mike Santana
The entrances for the main event began with Joe Hendry coming to the ring as fans sang along to his theme. Mike Santana made a custom entrance, walking through the crowd accompanied by a live rap performance. Finally, the defending TNA World Champion, Trick Williams, made his entrance, accompanied by a live choir singing “Whoop that Trick!”
The crowd in Long Island was being very supportive of the hometown challenger, Mike Santana. Early in the match, Hendry and Santana worked together to eliminate Williams from the ring. With Williams on the floor, the two challengers battled each other.
After Williams re-entered the match, special guest commentator Frankie Kazarian got involved, which led to him being ejected from ringside by Santino Marella. Later, Santana hit a big dive onto Williams on the floor. Back in the ring, Joe Hendry hit his “Standing Ovation” finisher on Santana, but only managed a two-count. Santana recovered, fired up, and hit Hendry with his “Spin the Block” signature move.
For the finish, Santana hit a second “Spin the Block” on Hendry and went for the cover. However, Trick Williams slid into the ring, threw Santana off, stole the pin on Joe Hendry, and got the three-count to retain his title.
After the match, TNA President Carlos Silva reluctantly handed the championship belt to Trick Williams. The show closed with Williams celebrating on the entrance stage as a shocked Mike Santana looked on from the ring, having lost in his hometown.
Result: Trick Williams defeated Mike Santana and Joe Hendry to retain the TNA World Championship.
