In other prominent matches, Jordynne Grace defeated WWE NXT's Tatum Paxley to retain the TNA Knockouts World Championship, Mustafa Ali defeated Trent Seven to retain the TNA X Division Championship, and The System (Brian Myers and Eddie Edwards) defeated The Nemeth Brothers (Nic Nemeth and Ryan Nemeth) to retain the TNA World Tag Team Championship.

[5][6] The event will feature several professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines.

[8][9] On the following episode of TNA Impact!, Hardy and Nemeth met in the ring – the former making his world title aspirations clear – as they made a pact to "delete" The System.

[14][15] Two weeks later, Hardy and Ryan defeated Myers and Edwards in a non-title match, and when Moose came out to partake in a post-match assault, Nic Nemeth returned to even the odds.

[14][15] They would face two weeks later, where after a distraction from Ali and interference by Champagne Singh, Seven defeated Bailey to become number one contender.

[16][17] At Rebellion, Mike Santana made his return to TNA and defeated Steve Maclin in an impromptu match.

[10][11] On the May 30 TNA Impact!, Santana and Maclin would have a rematch, but that ended in a no contest after an attack by The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) on both men.

[18][19] The following week, a frustrated Callihan called out Gresham on his "DMTV" segment to a match at Against All Odds, which TNA made official for the Countdown pre-show.
