Before the next match, Joe Hendry says he is in a good mood because he is in the Sunshine State and he defended the Digital Media Championship against "Dancing Moose," and that he is defending against Matt Cardona, otherwise known as "Edge's Bitch." He says that "Edge's Bitch" will ring in the fans' ears as well as "We believe," as they believe in Joe Hendry.

Joe Hendry retains the Impact Wrestling Digital Media Championship when Brian Myers' attempt at interference by distracting the referee with the Digital Media title backfires when he inadvertently hits Cardona with the Roster Cut. After the match, Moose gets in the ring, but he accidentally spears Cardona before Hendry sends him out of the ring. Matt Cardona is distraught in the middle of the ring as the fans call him "Edge's Bitch."
