Filming, however, was postponed due to the legal issues between then TNA President Billy Corgan and the company. Corgan lost his injunction on TNA, which had prevented filming of any kind on October 31, allowing filming for Total Nonstop Deletion to commence later that week. During the buildup for Total Nonstop Deletion, Matt Hardy made a surprise appearance at Ring of Honor's Final Battle, issuing a challenge to The Young Bucks.
