We are live from Full Sail Live in Orlando, Florida.

Our announcers are Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt.

TNA opened with TNA Champion Mike Santana coming to the ring.

After the opening, Santana cut a promo in the ring. He said that beating Trick took a little too long. He said he’s got the title. The crowd chanted. “You deserve it.” He cut a promo in Spanish and said they were live in Orlando. He said it’s been a journey and when he decided to bet on himself, he knew it wasn’t going to be easy. A lot of people doubted but he believed in him and his little girl at home believed in him. When he returned to TNA, he told everyone he was coming for the top spot and the fans believed in him. The fans made their voices loud and clear. After scratching and clawing and falling, he can stand tall and say he’s the new TNA Champion.

Santana said there is a hungry roster in the back ready to kill it for the fans, because this is TNA. The crowd chanted the promotion’s name. He said he knows there’s a target on his back. Nic Nemeth and Frankie Kazarian are co-holding the Call Your Shot Gauntlet. He’s calling out everyone else. No matter where in the world they are and what letters they represent, if they step to him, they better bring the fire he brings, or he’s going to eat them alive. He’s not just an ordinary man, he’s a loud and proud Boriqua from The Bronx.

Ryan Nemeth came out and called out Santana for talking about Nic Nemeth, his brother, when he’s not here to defend himself. He congratulated him for winning the belt in a mocking manner. Santana told him if he called him Mikey again, he would slap him. Ryan said the next TNA Champion will be Nic Nemeth. He claimed Nic’s flight was delayed. Santana asked him when he was going to stop carrying his brother’s bags and chewing on his jockstrap, because then he could come to Santana like a man. Ryan went to slap him but Santana grabbed his arm. Santana said he’s had a great 30 days and he’s going to continue that tonight by asking Santino to give him a title defense against the least deserving person on the roster, Ryan. He told Ryan he was going to destroy his entire life tonight, then he can go tell Nic that he was a scrub who didn’t get the job done.

The announcers plugged tomorrow’s Turning Point PPV main event.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviewed TNA Knockouts Champion Kelani Jordan. She said she’s not afraid of competition and she will be ready. She wishes she was wrestling Ash by Elegance because that was her mentor in the WWE Performance Center. The Angel Warriors and Mara Sade showed up. Sade said she’s acting different since she arrived but TNA stars stick together. They offered her locker room as a safe haven. Jordan blew them off saying they’ve never been champions and they aren’t going to get close to her so they feel like champions. Lei Yin Lee ripped her in Chinese. Xia Brookside said Jordan was acting like a C,..U…..N…and she’ll see her at NXT next week.

Santino Marella came out. He asked Florida how they were doing. He asked everyone to welcome NXT General Manager Ava. She thanked everyone for a warm welcome and said that at NXT Showdown, each company earned the other’s respect. They gave the wrestling world something they never thought they would see and never will forget. She promised more matches, opportunities and moments coming. She asked everyone to keep watching. She cannot be here every week, but knows someone who can – Arianna Grace. Grace said she has missed TNA so much but is back to make sure things stay civil. Marella asked everyone to enjoy the show.

They ran a NXT Gold Rush promo.

Luna tried to muscle her over but instead drove Indi backwards into the corner. Luna dropped her on the top and nailed a clothesline off the buckles for a near fall.

Hartwell was pulled to the floor where they battled. Luna was hit with a spinebuster on the floor. Indi tossed her back and ascended to the top. Indi nailed a flying elbow for a two count.

Indi kept working her over.

Your winner by DQ, Dani Luna!

Eric Young cut a promo outside among the fans where he said he kept trying to tell them the truth and that the Cleanse is coming. No one wanted to listen to him or take his flyers. He said he was going to be on the right side of history and the truth is going to be around the corner.

Indi Hartwell challenged Dani Luna to face her in a NO DQ match tomorrow at Turning Point.

The System came to the ring. They said they were part of history at Bound for Glory. Eddie Edwards said that you learn to appreciate those who go through war with you, speaking specifically about Alisha Edwards. She has a warrior’s mentality and he loves her. Edwards said his family were in the building, including their daughter. The fact that she got to see her parents fight side by side with their brothers and come out on top is something Edwards will never forget.

Moose said at BFG, they rpoved three things. She’s hardcore. They proved they are family. You mess with one, you mess with all. They proved that you always trust The System.

JDC took the mic and said it was a beautiful night for The System. He said his family was there and he and his wife have decided that after Genesis this January, he will be retiring from in-ring action. He wanted to announce it in Full Sail because the place means the world for him. He’s grateful for all the years he’s been in the business and is grateful for WWE and TNA. He spent a long time not being grateful in the business but the TNA locker room is the best he’s ever been in and is grateful from the bottom of his heart. There will be a void in the System and he will help them find out who’s going to take his spot while he’s still here.

The Rascalz came out. They said they can’t allow that to happen. They want The System vs. The Rascalz, all of us vs. all of them. Moose said there’s only three of them. The Rascalz said they are in Orlando and they know someone, and announced four Rascalz vs. The System tomorrow. They pretty much teased the return of the former Wes Lee, Desmond Xavier. JDC said he has one more left in him and asked Santino to make the match for tomorrow.
