Mark gives credit to Brett for still standing as Big Jack and Bruce surround the ring. After Money Mark tells Brett to pay up, King Cobra and "Big Swole" Justin Cole show up to even the numbers.

We see the aftermath of last week's main event between Derrick King and Van Viciouss.

In footage from earlier this week, we hear from Austin Lane, who says that you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villian. He regrets the piledriver that he gave Matt Williams, but Matt pushed him and saw "The Wrestling Machine." Next week, he is coming back and he is looking for Matt. He says Matt wanted to run with the lion and found out that the lion hunts, and that it is time for the lion to eat.

Dustin Starr interviews The Hollywood Clique at the announce desk. "Hollywood" Jimmy Blaylock says he is tired of Dustin's "snotty" attitude, and Van Viciouss says that Derrick King is doing all of the tasks that Ray Sanders used to do. Blaylock also proclaims that "Dirty" Diana Taylor will win Women's Gauntlet For The Gold 2.

We hear from Memphis rapper Al Kapone and his love for professional wrestling and see footage of him at the WrestleCenter. Al Kapone, Grizz and BLJ will be here next week.

"Dirty" Diana Taylor beats Nyxx, Shalonce Royal, Rebel Kel and Cassandra Golden to win the Women's Gauntlet For The Gold 2 and become the Memphis Women's Champion! When Nyxx shows up, it is implied that she has been attacked backstage. Near the end of the match, "Hollywood" Jimmy Blaylock guests on commentary. Near the end of the match, Cassandra Golden inadvertently takes out referee David Knight, and when referee "Sleazy-E" Elijah shows up trying to put his shirt on, Ray Sanders shows up and attacks Elijah before making himself the ref. This distracts Cassandra Golden, and Diana Taylor hits Cassandra with the DDT to win the gauntlet match and the women's title after Ray Sanders makes the count.
