Santino Marella came out and made a match between the Nemeths and First Class for later in the show…

Gia Miller and Arianna Grace are backstage, but Tessa Blanchard interrupts and said that Grace was someone who had everything handed to her by her father, unlike her. Grace looked like she heard enough and left. Tessa grabbed the mic from Gia and said that she is here to stay whether anyone wants her or not…

From earlier today, Xia Brookside and Cora Jade had a confrontation backstage. Security stepped in to separate the two…

The System walked in and told Slater to carry their bags and rings. The Hardys walked in and said that Slater is on a different level. The System called the Hardy’s washed up and as a result, The Hardys challenged them to a match next week.

Sami Callihan and Mance Warner continue their brawl into the Impact Zone. Sami Suplexed Warner on the floor, and follows that up with a few good chair shot for good measure. Steph De Lander slid the Digital Media belt to Warner, and Warner hit Sami with it. Warner then hits a Running knee on Callihan. Warner and Steph kissed.
