Flex McCalleon gives Richie some sugarless candy before saying that they made him and will devour him in the end. Flex says that next week, they will take the Hollywood Heritage Championship back, and Richie Slade tells Cruz to enjoy being top flavor because he will go back to being vanilla before he knows it.

Before the next match, Halston Boddy calls Viva Van the gemstone of what will become the biggest faction in history, and says that the women's division wants a piece of what Viva Van has. He says the women's division does not even have half the talent, look and body that Viva Van has. Viva Van says she is tired of seeing CeCe Chanel, who takes things personally, and says what she does is just business and that she is here to win. She says that CeCe Chanel may be good, but she is not hellbent, and she is hellbent to knock down doors, run the place and run CeCe Chanel out like she did with Heather Monroe. Suddenly, she is attacked from behind by CeCe Chanel. Referees have to run in to break up the ensuing brawl.

In footage from during the commercial break, ring announcer Adnan Kureishy is met by Jack Banning, who says he needs someone with "neutral ears" to talk to. He says that too many people mistake their opinions of him for fact, and says he finds it frustrating because while the bills are being paid, his motives are not seen as pure as they are. He says he does not want to succeed; he wants to make sure other people fail. He says he wants people to see this plane of existence for what it truly is, for nobody is born on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere and everyone is going to die, and wants to make sure that as long as he is on the platform that he enlightens the younger kids in the business. He says that there are people in the back with frivolous goals and want the adulation and star power that he used to want, and that they are willing to shed blood with a smile to get where they want. Banning says it is empty, hollow and bleak, and he wants to make sure that the next generation of professional fighters know how ruthless this business is and have him to thank for that. Banning leaves, and Kureishy is relieved.

Before the next match, Keita Murray says he is not going into the ring and wrestling Miguel, as his uncle has passed away and left him a lump sum of money that allows him, his children and his children's children to live lavishly. He says that he holds the key to the ring, professional wrestling and success and that he will only wrestle unless it benefits him, and that he was never successful in wrestling. He then says that Miguel was not successful and made a change himself. He says that Miguel is special and is the key to dominance and destruction, and offers him an envelope and gives him the option of a fight or a pay-out. Miguel takes the money and walks to the stage. Keita Murray beats Miguel by count-out. Keita and Miguel then walk to the back together.

The Bodega (Danny Limelight and "King FatBoy" Papo Esco) retain the United Tag Team Championships against The Hot Commodities (Honest John and Anthony Idol) despite interference from Howdy Price and after "The GunShow" Brett Michaels and "The Golden Boy" Jordan Clearwater beat up Levi Shapiro.
