The System talk in the back, Moose looks utterly disinterested in all of this and I don’t think he was supposed to come off like that.
After the entrances for Matt Cardon and Steph De Lander vs. Rhino and PCO Steph De Lander gets a mic and wants to talk. She says her career has been a dream at times, and she’s proud to be in TNA. Proud to be in the ring with her heroes, and in front of this sold out crowd. She thanks the fans for being on this journey with her. This stuff with PCO and Matt needs to get sorted, and it’s hurting her. But it’s not the only thing hurting, she needs neck surgery and has been putting it off for a while because she didn’t want to let anyone down. That brings the “what” chants as she tells Matt that despite him being a jerk recently they’re still good friends. She thanks Matt for taking her from her lowest point to her highest. She thanks her husband, PCO, and never expected to find love in TNA but is glad she did. This whole thing needs to end, and she asks Matt and PCO to figure this out without her. She isn’t retiring, she’s not done with wrestling and promises she has more to give. This isn’t goodbye, it’s just until next time. Steph hugs PCO then Rhino holds open the ropes for her. PCO walks Steph to the back, then Matt kicks Rhino in the groin. Radio Silence to Rhino and Matt stands tall. Well, guess that means no match.
