The commentators hype things up for the next match, which once again features a title on-the-line. The TNA Tag Lines graphic flashes on the screen to set the stage for the TNA X-Division Championship. Moose, the reigning title-holder is chasing history as the longest reigning champ.

Leon Slater is looking to become the youngest TNA X-Division Champion ever with a potential win tonight. Slater makes his way to the ring to a good reaction from the crowd inside the packed UBS Arena, with 7,362 fans in attendance, setting a new U.S. record for TNA.

Reigning TNA X-Division Champion Moose is shown on the stage in a throne with a slightly modified theme song. He makes his way to the ring. The ring announcer finishes up the pre-match introductions and the bell sounds to get things started.

Moose manhandles Slater from the word “go.” On the floor, he hoists Slater up in a powerbomb position, with his body draping. He swings him side-to-side, looking to bash him into the ring apron. Instead, Slater flips to his feet and leaps a charging Moose, who spears the ring steps.

Now with Moose’s shoulder weakened, Slater takes over on offense, hitting some big high spots that pops the crowd back inside the ring. Slater knocks Moose out to the floor and does his trademark sprinting leap over the ring post to the floor high spot.

Moose takes over again, as Slater’s mom, sister and girlfriend are shown in the crowd. Slater begins fighting back. He hoists Moose up for a Torture Rack Blue Thunder Bomb, but Moose avoids it. Slater hits a Senton 450 off the ropes but somehow Moose kicks out.

Seconds later, Moose begins catching his second wind. He nails Slater with a spear that sends him out to the floor. Moose goes after him, but runs into a Code Red from a prepared Slater. Slater rolls Moose into the ring and climbs to the top.

Moose rolls far away and flips him off. Slater hits a Swanton like Jeff Hardy way across the ring. He follows that up with a Senton 450 off the top for the pin and the win.

With the victory, Leon Slater becomes the youngest TNA X-Division Champion of all-time. He celebrates with his mom, sister and girlfriend in the crowd in a beautiful moment. Moose puts the title around Slater’s waist in a rare moment of respect from The System member.

Winner and new TNA X-Division Champion: Leon Slater

The post-match celebration for Leon Slater continues, and then the theme for AJ Styles hits and the record-breaking crowd in Long Island goes bonkers as “The Phenomenal One” makes his way out to the ring.

He asks if the fans missed him. He says it’s good to be back in the place where he made his name. He talks about the company having some of the best young talent in the world, like Slater, who became the youngest X-Division Champion in history tonight.

‘Fans break out in a loud “You deserve it!” chant aimed at Slater. Styles tells Slater not to listen to the fans. He says he doesn’t deserve it. He earned it. The fans cheer. Fans break out in a “Welcome Back!” chant aimed at Styles.

Styles says Slater reminded fans that TNA isn’t about weight limits, it’s about no limits. He mentions some of the names he shared the ring with during his days in the X-Division and then once again congratulates Leon Slater for becoming the youngest X-Division Champion ever.

His music plays again. Slater walks off as Styles claps from the ring looking at him. He then poses to the crowd himself on the ropes. That’s how the AJ Styles appearance wrapped up. For now, anyways.

Ladder War – TNA World Tag Team Titles: The Nemeths (c) vs. The Hardys vs. The Rascalz vs. First Class

All hell breaks loose straight out of the gate. Within all of a minute, we see multiple ladders entered into the mix. The high spot fest begins early. We see The Rascalz hit some crazy spots, followed by The Nemeths.

At one point, we see Ryan Nemeth get in MLB legend Johnny Damon’s face at ringside. Damon shoves him. Nic runs over to hold Ryan back. AJ Francis hits a huge moonsault off the ladder onto the pile of bodies in the ring.

Moments later, as Francis and Navarro are both climbing up the same ladder in the ring, it is shoved over and they go flying onto a pair of ladder bridges near the entrance. Francis’ legs go through the rungs on the long way down. Ouch.

From there, The Hardys come to life again. They lay Navarro out over a ladder bridge near the commentary desk. Jeff Hardy hits a swanton onto it, but it doesn’t bend or break. Hardy’s back snaps bad upon landing.

Apparently he’s fine, however, because seconds later Jeff Hardy calls for something from the entrance area. We see a rope style ladder drop from the ceiling. Ryan starts climbing it, but Matt whacks him with a chair. Nic tries climbing the rope ladder, but Jeff stops him. Jeff climbs the rope ladder and pulls the belts down. The Hardys are your new tag champs.

Winners and new TNA Tag-Team Champions: The Hardys

The music of Team 3-D hits! Its Bully Ray! He comes out to a big ovation! He locks eye to eye with Matt and Jeff. Bully has a mic in hand. Bully says allow him to be the first on another world tag team championship. Bully says the Hardys are catching up – another amazing match by the Hardy Boyz.

He says congrats to them for what is an attendance records for TNA. The fans start to chant TNA…he says he has a good reason why he is here and the entire wrestling world knows why. 25 years ago the Hardys and the Dudleys made history in New York. The Royal Rumble and they stole the show. Both teams went on to greatness, but who is greatest of all time…

Bully says the greatest of all time is the Road Warriors, it not about who has the most championships, but giving the fans all over the world, the greatest tag team match of all time, its something special that can never happen again…October at Bound for Glory…Hardys vs. Team 3-D – one last match.

The fans chant where is D-Von? Bully says that is a great point and great question. At Bound for Glory, you will hear for the last time…D-Von – 1, 2, 3 D-Von get the tables! The Hardys shake the hand of Bully and then celebrate again.

— Once the tag title match and aftermath wraps up, we see TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella come out and announce that Tessa Blanchard is suspended indefinitely following her actions earlier tonight. He then asks the pre-show panel for their main event predictions.

As they are giving them, they are cut off by the entrance tune for Frankie Kazarian. Out comes the self-proclaimed “King of TNA.” Kaz says Busted Open Radio sucks and they are celebrating Kaz, as no one else has done more for TNA than him. He is the uncrowned TNA world champion and should be in this match. Kaz says he is going to be on commentary for the main event.
