Backstage:
Leon Slater was talking backstage with Je’Von Evans. They are excited about their title match set for TNA Bound For Glory. Shawn Spears and The Culling didn’t like Evans being friendly with a TNA talent and challenged them to a tag team match tonight.
After Slater and Evans left, Lyra Valkyria gave Tatum Paxley a new doll. Paxley threw her other blonde doll behind her as Izzi Dame looked irritated.

Winner: Jaida Parker
Backstage:
Trick Williams told Ricky Saints they should be co-captains at Showdown. Saints told him he’s already picked Je’Von Evans to be on his team so there are only two spots left. Williams said he doesn’t like Evans, but we need him. Saints told Williams he’s also picked Myles Borne to be on his team. Williams said we need Josh Briggs. Evans wasn’t pleased with hearing Briggs may be on the team. Saints told Evans he has to put his differences aside because he doesn’t like Briggs either, but he’s a good choice. Williams suggested to Saints that Myles Borne should face Josh Briggs with the winner joining NXT. Saints said he liked that idea.
Can all these egos stay in check?! 😬

Ethan Page – Mustafa Ali to meet at Showdown:
Page was in the ring. Mustafa Ali came out and said he has no issues with him, but does have an issue with what he’s holding (NXT North American Championship). Page said he has no issues with him and doesn’t owe him anything. Ali said Page doesn’t owe him anything but NXT does because it wasn’t that long ago that he earned an opportunity at the North American Championship, and it never came. Instead of getting that match, he got a phone call that his services were no longer needed. He’s still waiting for the championship match that he’s earned.
Ali said he spoke to Ava and Santino, and next week, at Showdown, he will get his opportunity for that title against Page. Page said he’s going to beat him next week and wish him his best in his future endeavors. Ali punched Page and knocked him out of the ring.
Why wait?!

Myles Borne vs Josh Briggs
Briggs pulled off the chain he was wearing around his neck and was getting ready to use it. Matt Cardona got on the ring apron and stopped him. The referee pulled the chain away from Briggs. Borne hit Briggs with a dropkick, gave him the Borne Again, and pinned him.

Backstage:
Jordynne Grace told Kelani Jordan that she held the TNA Knockouts Championship for a long time and she hopes Kelani will carry it with pride. She mentioned that TNA means a lot to her, doesn’t trust Jacy Jayne, and would much rather be on TNA. Kelani said she doesn’t know where Jordynne stands because her past is TNA, but her present is NXT.
Joe Hendry and Mike Santana appeared. Santana said Jordynne and Hendry seem to have one foot in and one foot out. Santana told Kelani there are some people he wants her to meet.
Is this the right move?@kelani_wwe and @Santana_Proud aren't sure where @JordynneGrace and @joehendry's allegiances lie… pic.twitter.com/uylIL6CfUU
