Ali decided he wasn\u2019t going to wait around anymore and came to the ring during the pre-show.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/sports\/pro-wrestling\"><strong><u>COMPLETE PRO WRESTLING COVERAGE ON FOX NEWS DIGITAL<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As Rae was about to share the news with Ali, TNA director of authority Santino Marella interrupted her. Marella and Rae both said they had opponents for Ali, making the open challenge a triple-threat match instead of a one-on-one affair.<\/p>\n<p>Ali\u2019s first opponent was revealed to be Rich Swann. Then, Uhaa Nation made his debut for TNA.
