The Hardys left, and Dutch mentioned something about Daria making sure “their foot was in the door.”
— Back inside the arena, Elayna Black makes her way to the ring.
Black says no one else is as good as her in the ring and expresses her frustration with Mara Sadè eliminating her from the Number One Contenders TNA Knockouts Battle Royal at No Surrender. She says she's still coming for the TNA Knockouts World Championship and demands that Sadè makes her way out.
Sadè's music hits and she makes her way out. She says herself and Black came from the same locker room and pressure in "NXT", then says they're in the same place once again. Black says there's one big difference between her and Sadè, and that's the fact that she wrestled all over the independent scene and earned her place in TNA Wrestling while Sadè was handed her spot as a professional wrestler. She promises to be the next TNA Knockouts World Champion.
Sadè responds by telling Black that Black hates her because she's a go-getter. She says she loves the professional wrestling business and dares Black to prove she's a fraud. Black says she'll do just that and says Sadè is an obstacle to the top she'll overcome.
— Back from a break, Order 4 makes their way to the ring. Elijah follows.
