AXS TV and TNA+ aired last night episode number 1103 of TNA iMPACT!, recorded from The Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The show featured some announcements for Victory Road, as well as several matches and segments of interest, highlighting The Nemeths' victory over The System in the main event of the night.
- Moose defeated AJ Francis in the night's opener. Mustafa Ali intervened in the final moments of the match, accidentally attacking Francis, whom Moose finished off with a spear. After the match, Moose challenged Ali to a singles match at Victory Road.
- Gia Miller interviewed The System (Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, and Alisha Edwards) backstage. Eddie pointed out that Moose's challenge a few minutes earlier was just the first step in facing one of the problems the faction (Order 4) is dealing with. He and Myers, on the other hand, would take care of their second problem (The Nemeths) that same night. Alisha ended the interview by stating that one should always "trust the system."
- The Rascalz (Zacahry Wentz, Trey Miguel, and Myron Reed) carried out a fun backstage segment to announce their return to action before their fatal four-way match that night, where they would compete for a shot at the X-Division Championship.
- Joe Hendry defeated Travis Williams after hitting a Standing Ovation. After the match, Eric Young and Judas Icarus stormed the ring in an attempt to attack the Scotsman, but he managed to escape just in time. Furious, Young ordered Icarus to punish Williams for his loss. Icarus hesitated, at which point Young decided to attack them both. Young delivered two piledrivers to each to end the segment amidst boos.
- Matt Cardona cut a backstage promo addressing Ryan Nemeth. Cardona not only reiterated his comments about Nemeth from the previous week but also challenged him to interfere in his affairs once again.
- Victoria Crawford hosted the first edition of her podcast. Crawford announced Gia Miller as her first guest. Surprised, the announcer and interviewer accepted the invitation. Victoria asked her how it feels to be at home unable to work and not getting paid, because that's exactly what her friend Tessa Blanchard has been going through since she was suspended. Miller reminded her that Blanchard brought it upon herself by attacking her at TNA Slammiversary. What did she expect would happen after the attack? Crawford replied that she expected some mercy from Gia. That's why she asked her to talk to Santino Marella to lift Tessa's punishment so TNA could get back one of its most valuable stars. However, Miller insisted that Blanchard's current situation was not her fault. Tension was rising, but Jody Threat appeared to calm things down. Crawford then decided to end the first episode of her podcast, promising to return with a new one every week.
- Myron Reed defeated Zachary Wentz, Trey Miguel, and Jake Something in a fatal four-way match to earn a shot at the X-Division Championship at TNA Victory Road. Reed hit a springboard 450 splash on Something for the win.
- Frankie Kazarian approached Jake Something backstage to give him some friendly advice. Kazarian pointed out that brute force isn't everything in this business. He is a perfect example, having built his kingdom brick by brick. Kazarian reminded him that he is a former World Champion and will soon make history by capturing the International Title. "Let me ask you a question, Jake. Do you want to be part of history? Do you want to see me make history? Come with me. Come with the best. You have all the tools, but with me, you'll have the keys. So ask yourself this, Jake: Do you finally want to be something? Think about it," Kazarian said before leaving.
- Heather by Elegance (with M by Elegance) defeated Jessie McKay (with Cassie Lee). M assisted her partner to secure the victory. After the match, Santino Marella appeared to confront M for her actions, setting up a new match.
- Cassie Lee (with Jessie McKay) defeated M by Elegance (with Heather by Elegance). Lee hit a german suplex followed by a spinning suplex for the win.
- Steve Maclin delivered a video promo. Maclin recalled his years in the military, stating that nothing has changed in the last 20 years. Maclin listed all the rivals he has defeated to retain the TNA International Championship. This has been possible because he has left his blood and sweat on the mat. With that said, he addressed Frankie Kazarian directly. "I am the present and future of TNA Wrestling," he said. Maclin added that deep down, Kazarian knows his time is running out, which is why he desperately seeks to snatch the gold from him. However, he will be just another name to add to his list.
- A furious George Iceman (accompanied by Heather and M by Elegance) argued with Santino Marella backstage, reproaching him for not protecting his clients. That's why he asked him to add a stipulation to Ash by Elegance's title match at Victory Road. After several misunderstandings, Marella decided to appoint Indi Hartwell as the special referee for the match - which will also be no disqualification - much to "The Concierge's" deep displeasure. The matter didn't end there, as new misunderstandings led to Santino scheduling a defense of the Knockouts Tag Team Championships at Victory Road (with M and Heather by Elegance putting the gold on the line against The IInspiration) and a tag team match on the next episode of TNA iMPACT! Iceman tried to complain once more, but M and Heather covered his mouth to take him away and prevent further damage.
- Trick Williams attacked Mike Santana before he could compete in his scheduled match that night. The fight between the two men was stopped by several security members.
- The Nemeths (Nic and Ryan Nemeth) defeated The System (Brian Myers and Eddie Edwards) in the night's main event. Order 4 appeared in the final moments of the match, with The Great Hands creating a distraction that allowed Nic to surprise Eddie Edwards with a superkick before finishing him off with the Danger Zone.
- After the match, Ryan Nemeth took a microphone to announce that they will cash in their rematch for the TNA World Tag Team Championships against The Hardys next week. Matt and Jeff Hardy quickly appeared in the ring to confront their rivals. Despite the presence of several referees, the legendary team entered the ring to face off with their opponents, but they decided to escape to ringside. The episode concluded with Nic and Ryan retreating backstage while mocking the champions' theme music.
