After Connor says that he looks forward to taking on Austin Lane, Austin Lane shows up. King Cobra says next time will be a different ouctome, and Connor says he is here to take on the best. Austin Lane asks King Cobra if Connor - who he admits has not been here long - is ready. King Cobra says he is ready, and so does Connor.

Austin Lane says that while he respects King Cobra, the ring is his house, and he tells Connor to lace up next week, because he is prepared to hurt him.

Before the next match, Alan Steel - who now has the Memphis Heritage Championship back in his possession - finds out that Johnny Dotson has been barred from the building and becomes livid.

Action Jackson says Alan Steel doesn't have Dotson to help him cheat, and when Steel says this is his only shot, Jackson says he will take advantage of it. Action Jackson says Alan Steel doesn't have Dotson to help him cheat, and when Steel says this is his only shot, Jackson says he will take advantage of it. Jackson then hits Alan Steel in the face and briefly beats him up before getting him in the ring to start the match.

Alan Steel retains the Memphis Heritage Championship against Action Jackson after nearly whipping Action Jackson into the referee, allowing Steel to hit a low blow as the referee is still looking back hoping not to get hurt.
