The show opened with Laredo Kid and Ja’Von Evans in the ring. Ethan Page came out and said Rey Phoenix is stuck on a plane and won’t be here tonight. He complained to Evans and Laredo about having to share his championship celebration with them. He stated he is also upset that on Saturday he has to defend his North American Championship, followed by a defense against Sean Legacy down the line. As a result, Legacy came out and said he has a chance to become the Evolve champion tomorrow. This led to The Vanity Project coming out and told Ethan they have his back. Page jumped Legacy. Evans, Laredo, and Legacy cleared the ring of The Vanity Project and Page and they brawled outside the ring.
El Hijo del Vikingo was shown in the front row.

Backstage, Santana was fired up for his TNA Championship match. He sees Trick Williams only fighting for himself. Santana stated he is fighting not only for everybody who has ever stepped foot in a TNA ring, but for the legacy of TNA as well. Most importantly, he is fighting for his baby girl at home. He’s made a promise to her that he’s coming home as TNA Champion and he plans on keeping that promise.
Fatal Influence came to the ring. Jacy Jayne told the crowd they didn’t support her for the last four years, and they can’t get on the bandwagon now that she is the champion. Lainey Reid came through the stands to interrupt Jayne and said she’s not waiting in line as she referred to Jayne as “the most beatable champion of all time.” This brought out Lola Vice followed by Jordynne Grace, Kelani Jordan, Lash Legend who wanted to challenge Jayne. Thea Hail jumped Legend which resulted in all the challengers brawling. The lights went out. When they came back on, Mariah May was standing under a spotlight in the stands. She didn’t use her name but instead introduced herself as “Glamorous,” making it clear she’s coming for the NXT Women’s Championship.

Sol Ruka and Zaria found Tatum Paxley lying on a foot locker. Ruka said Zaria is here for her. Izzi Dame appeared and told Paxley she’s been down that road before and that left her with nothing, and turning to Ruka and Zaria for help will end the same way for her.
