🕊️ Opening Tribute: Farewell to the Immortal

The show opened with a moving tribute to Hulk Hogan, whose impact echoed across eras and promotions.

Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt held back emotion as they called the moment: “Thank you, Hulk. The business won’t be the same.”

💣 Slammiversary Aftershocks & Title Turmoil

Santino Marella, energized and enraged, hit the ring proclaiming a mission to reclaim what TNA lost at Slammiversary: the World and Knockouts titles — now in the clutches of NXT talent. He promised to go rogue if needed, even teasing a challenge for Ethan Page’s NXT North American Championship.

Santino didn’t stop there:

Officially announced: Masha Slamovich vs. Jacy Jayne, Knockouts Title rematch next week.
Plus, a “TNA Loyalty Gauntlet” concept was floated for Bound for Glory.

🛡️ Faction Frenzy: Loyalty vs. Invasion

Turf war? Try warpath.

The System (Edwards, Moose, Myers, JDC, Alisha) came out draped in TNA gear, declaring themselves “the guardians of the brand.” Moose pointed fingers at Trick Williams, while Eddie promised retribution for all NXT interference.
Trick Williams, ever the agitator, interrupted with swagger: “Don’t test TrickNA, Moose. You lost, and you’ll lose again.” He flatly refused to defend his title in Kingston, intensifying the rivalry.
Things went haywire as Order 4, helmed by Mustafa Ali, stormed in with mic drops and fists. Ali’s cult-like “Secret Service” swarmed, targeting both factions and escalating the chaos.

Santino fled the scene, barking orders and visibly unraveling as backstage officials scrambled to deescalate.
