You are not just entitled, you are arrogant. You want to blame everyone because you couldn’t win back the title. Oba wasn’t going to give you another title match and you figured you would take a shot at the TNA champion. Joe says he is an entertainer, but he has an antagonitic side. He tells Trick to get his ass out here right now.

You made decisions that made Dark State think they could push them around. Channing says he had to take the reins and take control. You are shaking because your best friend and Underboss is gone, Luca is gone, Rizzo is in hiding. You are losing power. You may ask what is next. Can I trust my own family? Let’s get real. You don’t even know who you can trust right now.
Some of Tony security attacks Tony but Tony takes care of one side of the apron.
Tony asks Channing if he wants to be the Don. He has to come down here and take it yourself.

4/29 NXT Preview
After retaining the North American Championship against Ethan Page at “NXT” Stand & Deliver, Ricky Saints will be putting the title on the line once again tonight as he defends against Lexis King. Although this was initially slated to be a Winner Takes All Match for the North American Championship and the “NXT” Heritage Cup following a tense confrontation between Saints and King, King was dethroned as “NXT” Heritage Cup Champion by a returning Noam Dar during last week’s edition of the show.
Hank Walker and Tank Ledger will be putting the NXT Tag Team Championship on the line for the first time on television since dethroning Nathan Frazer and Axiom at Stand & Deliver as they defend against Yoshiki Inamura and Josh Briggs. Ava granted Inamura and Briggs a title shot last week after Inamura had made it clear he had some unfinished business in the tag team division in her office last week.
After betraying Tony D’Angelo, Luca Crusifino, and Adriana Rizzo in order to help DarkState win a Six Man Tag Team Match against The Family at “NXT” Stand & Deliver, Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo met Crusifino in the middle of the Las Vegas desert last week whilst D’Angelo and Rizzo were making plans about what to do next in the latter’s hotel room. Following such, Stacks and D’Angelo will be meeting with one another tonight.
Additionally, “NXT” official Shawn Michaels has extended an open invitation to TNA World Champion Joe Hendry on his X page after Hendry had retained his title against the aforementioned Page and Frankie Kazarian in a Three Way Match at TNA Rebellion this past Sunday and was subsequently blindsided by Trick Williams in the moments that followed.
