Moose says he's a prize fighter and fights for the biggest prize in the game. He says he waited for Moose to become champ so he could pick his spot and cross the line. Oba puts over Moose and says he took out some names but says none of those names are Oba Femi. He says he will be the one to walk out of Roadblock as champ.

Thoughts: It was a fast paced match here with lots of action. It wasn't anything great or memorable but was one of the better showings of The Armory so far. I like the Ace and Rascalz team and feel like they are natural partners.

Cora Jade comes out. She says she sees a champ who knows their days are numbered. She says the belt is coming home with her. She says Masha isn't a ruthless champ, just the most overhyped. She says her weaknesses will be exposed.
Masha says Cora will be exposed for not being able to hang with a real fighter. She says she will find out why she's the most ruthless knockout in TNA history. Tessa Blanchard then jumps Masha from behind. Cora joins in. Lei Ying Lee then comes out and hits bad shots on the heels, clearing them off.
Mustafa Ali is given his coffee by Tasha. Tasha says Mike passed his pee test. Ali says they gotta get him another drug test. Ali goes to drink the coffee. He makes faces and then looks like he will go vomit.

Jeff legdrops Eddie in the crotch and basement dropkicks him. Matt hits a side effect on OC. Eddie takes a stunner into a neckbreaker. The System then run down and interfere for the DQ.
Thoughts: This was short and not much of note. It was pretty average wrestling all around and didn't even go 10 minutes.
Joe Hendry, Elijah and Leon Slater then come out to help. The System get out of the ring.
Santino Marella comes out. He says this madness has to come to an end. He says they must restore order. He says there will be no more running or hiding or interference as the Sacrifice 10-man tag will take place in a cage.
Overall thoughts: It was the usual Impact show. There was absolutely nothing you needed to see on this one, but it all made sense and was tolerable. The Elegance/Spitfire skits were entertaining and I'd say the 6-man tag was the best thing on here. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 and wouldn't recommend this.
