They aired the angle that closed last night’s TNA Impact with NXT attacking the ring and Kazarian calling his shot to win the TNA title from Mike Santana.
TNA Champion Frankie Kazarian came to the ring for The King’s Speech. The fans booed him but he said he’s still the champion. He’s self made and no one has deserved this more than him. He knows a lot of people are mad, so he’d like to address them right now. Every tear that rolls off their fat, filthy cheek is a shot in the arm to him. He asks that they never stop being jealous and envious of him and hating him, because he won’t stop hating them. He said that he had nothing to do with NXT wrestlers getting involved last night. He was a man of honor and virtue and would never engineer an attack on TNA.
He said that usually he has a guest, so he’s going to call someone out. He called out TNA President Carlos Silva. Nothing good can come of this. He wants to know why Silva was nowhere to be found when Kazarian won the title last night. He’s going to give Silva the chance to right a wrong by presenting the title to him officially in front of all these idiots. He did so, then announced he was launching an official investigation into the NXT chaos last night. He said Kazarian was part of that investigation. Kazarian said he was appalled Silva would think he had anything to do with that. Nic and Ryan Nemeth came to the ring. Nic had the Call Your Shot Gauntlet trophy with him.
Nemeth said almost everyone was attacked last night, but somehow, Kazarian was not and now he’s unscathed and he’s the champion. Kazarian and Nemeth argued in the ring. Kazarian called him Mr. Money in the Bank and said Nemeth carried a briefcase for months before he took an opportunity and he’s just as much of a scoundrel as Kazarian. Nemeth said he was calling his shot tonight. He said they will team up tonight and then he’s going to call in his shot. Kazarian said he needs to trust the champ. Nemeth said he’ll listen and trust him now, but later he’ll have Kazarian’s title.
The announcers ran down the lineup for the PPV.
