- Back to the arena as Bully Ray makes his way to the ring with Brooke Tessmacher and Tito Ortiz. The rest of Aces & 8's follow behind. Bully says Aces & 8's are in total control. He puts over the crew and says they are brothers. He walks up and hugs them down the line. He gets to Tito Ortiz as the fans chant that Tito sucks. Bully says to not mind them. Bully gets to Anderson and says he is the best VP ever. Bully says he loves Anderson more than his brother Devon. Bully puts his arm around Anderson and Anderson gives him a half hug. Bully says he accepts the challenge from Hogan and Sting and he will beat Sting tonight badly. The music hits and they all leave except for Bully, Brooke, and Knux. Chris Sabin makes his entrance for our opening contest as we go to a commercial.
Chris Sabin vs. Knux
Knux uses his power and size to knock Sabin down. Sabin hits the ropes and attacks Knux' knees with several dropkicks. He finally takes the big man down and work the left leg with a half Boston Crab. Knux pushes him off and then tackles Sabin with a crossbody splash. Sabin kicks out of a couple of pin attempts. Knux stays in control with a big boot to the face of Sabin. Knux keeps the pace slow with power moves. Bully Ray paces at ringside. Knux hits a side suplex and hits a legdrop off the 2nd turnbuckle for 2. Sabin creates space and comes off the top with a missile dropkick. Bully tosses a hammer to Knux but Sabin hits a dropkick to Knux' leg and the hammer falls on the mat. They scramble for the hammer and Sabin grabs it first and hits Knux in the head with it.
Winner by disqualification: Knux
- Back from a break as we see a replay and go to the back where Sabin is out of control and is being consoled by Velvet Sky. He says he isn't the one who brought the hammer to the ring. Sabin walks away as Velvet says, "What just happened?"
- Mickie James makes her entrance to the ring. She cuts a promo on Cleveland. She says she knows that she will be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She has a little award with her she calls an MJA. She says who needs the VMAs. She scolds people who had bad things to say about her good friend Miley Cyrus. ODB interrupts and says she will take her title. Mickie attacks her from behind with the award. ODB comes back and drops Mickie with a clothesline. ODB raises the title. Mickie takes her title back but ODB rips off her top (she still has a tube top on). Mickie, embarrassed, leaves up the ramp.
