Three matches have been added to Friday night’s TNA Emergence card from the Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena in Baltimore, Maryland.
Matt Cardona will look to take down Order Four’s Mustafa Ali in a singles bout, as announced on Thursday night’s episode of Impact. Cardona has been targeted by Ali’s faction in recent episodes of TV, most recently getting attacked by the group after winning a singles bout over John Skyler this week.

It was also revealed Thursday that The System’s Brian Myers and Eddie Edwards will take on the recently reunited First Class duo of AJ Francis and Rich Swann on Friday night. The match comes before The System’s Moose challenges First Class ally Trick Williams for the TNA World Championship in the main event of the night.
In a late addition to the event’s pre-show, Indi Hartwell will take on Rosemary in a singles bout. The feud suddenly started on Thursday’s Impact, when Rosemary emerged from the crowd to mist Hartwell after the ex-WWE wrestler’s match.

Rosemary noted in a backstage interview later that she sees herself as a gatekeeper in TNA and wants to send a message to Hartwell. “You want that world championship, Indi,” she said. “Your path now goes through us!”
It was also confirmed by Sami Callihan on Thursday that he will retire if he loses to Mike Santana.
