Nash used to be a bouncer at the same venue, and was brought out after the second match. Nash announced that he has his own Jackknife Kush strain of cannabis coming out in Detroit soon. He talked about being happy to be back in Detroit, and introduced Alex Shelley. This was a reunion of their Paparazzi Productions group that ran in TNA from 2006-2007. Shelley praised Nash as the best mentor he's ever had, and said that helps him pass on what Nash taught him to today's up & coming wrestlers. This was described as a fun segment that ended with a funny "Too Sweet" between Nash and Shelley. Nash was way over with the hometown crowd.

Sabu was later brought to the ring to be honored by his hometown crowd. He was praised and thanked for 30 years of contributions to the business. He was then given the microphone but before he could speak, as if he would have, he was interrupted by Atticus Cogar. Cogar insulted Sabu for doing nothing these days but be on Twitter and do $20 shoot interviews. Cogar said he looked up to Sabu until he met him and saw he was nothing but a "broken down fuck with a broke back and a broken bank account."

Cogar threatened to attack Sabu but Matthew Justice made the save with a steel chair. Justice fought Cogar into the ring and allowed Sabu to hit him with a chair shot to the face. Justice and Sabu celebrated to ECW chants from the crowd as they prepared for the Cogar vs. Justice match, which Cogar won. The bout included several tributes to Sabu, who watched the match from nearby. The finish saw Cogar win via roll-up after Justice was distracted by Gregory Iron and Bobby Beverly grabbing Sabu. After the match, Justice took the mic and praised Sabu for a huge pop and standing ovation from the hometown crowd.

At one point Cardona swung a replica of the WWE ECW Title but Rhino ducked and the referee was hit. Rhino tried to Gore Cardona through a door he pulled from under the ring but Green clawed his eyes to make the save. Rhino then put Green through the door with a Gore.
