The Grizzled Young Vets (Zack Gibson and James Drake) are in the ring. Zack Gibson says they only lost because Deaner stuck his nose in their business, and calls him out. Deaner - now known as Cody Deaner again - tells Zack Gibson to shut his mouth, then says Director of Authority Santino Marella has allowed him to do just that and face on them in a one-on-one match. He then gives the fans the choice on what he does next, and Zack Gibson makes fun of the fans before asking if he really wants to put his career in their hands. Deaner says yes, then gives the fans the choice, which ends up being "both." Deaner fights both men, and this leads to a two-on-one handicap match.

He then calls out Hammerstone so they can settle things right now. Hammerstone fails to show, and "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams shows up instead. Tracy Williams says Alexander should be worried about the best professional wrestlers in the world before stating he is one of them. Williams then says he has been waiting for his opportunity in TNA and that he is now looking at it, and if Hammerstone does not want to face him, he will take him on. Alexander says he did not lace his boots up tonight for nothing, and the match begins.

AJ Francis and Rich Swann are in the ring. Francis says the two of them make up "First Class," and says that it has been nothing but pretty women and first class flights ever since Swann saw the light, and that he has not been this happy since he played for the New York Giant and he beat the Philadelphia Eagles. Swann says that he is a former champion, and that it is no secret that he has been in a bit of a slump. He says that when he went to the back every week, Francis would be there, promising him to take him to even higher heights.
