– Gisele Shaw def. Savannah Evans in a Knockouts Division Singles Match. After the match, Gisele Shaw grabs the mic and embraces the nickname that has been given to her, the “Black Widow”. Shaw says that she doesn’t care if The Influence, Chelsea Green or Tasha Steelz are gone because of her.

– Bully Ray then makes his way down to the ring and says that he is beginning to get the feeling that people in IMPACT Wrestling don’t like him, but someone who dislikes him more than anyone is his former friend Tommy Dreamer. Bully Ray then admits that he has never liked himself either and calls himself the most honest man in the room. IMPACT Knockouts World Champion Mickie James then interrupts and says that since Bully interrupted her celebration two weeks ago, she is just returning the favor. Mickie James then questions how Bully Ray can call Dreamer a politicking snake when that has been his M-O his entire career. Mickie James then tells Bully Ray to get out of IMPACT Wrestling, prompting Bully to verbally insult her. Mickie James then slaps him across the face, but Bully Ray comes back with a sickening powerslam. Bully Ray then calls for The Good Hands who are about to set up a table when Tommy Dreamer makes the save with a kendo stick. Tommy Dreamer then issues a challenge for a Tag Team Match pitting him and Mickie James against Jason Hotch and John Skyler. Santino Marella then makes the match official for next week and Bully Ray is banned from ringside.
