After The DCC is cleared out, Matt announces his memories are restored and that they will get their tag team title match and that "DCC" will mean "Deletion coming, cowards."

Maria Kanellis-Bennett and Laurel Van Ness show up. Maria says it is the holiday season, and that she is a charitable person. She says she has given the fans a role model, but some people don't seem to appreciate that. She then calls out Allie, Allie says she is sorry for hitting Maria with the pumpkin pie last week, but Maria knows she was aiming for Laurel Van Ness. After confronting her for costing her the Knockouts title, Laurel tells Allie she had a date with Braxton Sutter, and whispers into Allie's ear. Maria then says that Allie is a loser who can't do anything right and that she can't even wrestle, and then calls Allie "a stupid bitch."

EC3 says there is a difference between winning a title and retaining it, and that he will do anyting to take a title, even stabbing a friend in the back.
