Before the next match, The Personal Concierge George Iceman Arizona University has the most STD's in the entire United States of America (even though the show is at Arizona State University), then calls wrestling fans as well as the people in the production truck "four-year-old virgins," which leads to a camera cutting to sombebody in the truck reacting as if to say "What did I do?" He then introduces The Elegance Brand (Ash by Elegance, Heather by Elegance, M by Elegance), who show up in devil costumes with pitchforks.

Steph de Lander suddenly shows up and says she is sick and tired of hearing how dangerous Steve Maclin is and that Mance Warner did not become "The Southern Psycho" by being nice.

He says Robert Stone wants to take this away from him so he can just have a title behind his name as well as the clout that comes with it, and if Mr. Stone wants his job, he can come and get it. Robert Stone, Tessa Blanchard and Victoria Crawford show up, and Robert Stone says that was adorable, but instead of "adorable," TNA needs Robert Stone. He says that when he beats Santino, he will be gone, and he will make Arianna his personal maid. Stone then says that TNA is officially run by him and that there is nothing Santino can do about it, but Santino says he is fighting for himself, Arianna and all the fans and families watching at home. All of a sudden, Matt Cardona shows up. He says it is no secret that he is a free agent and that he does not work for any company, so he owes nothing to anybody.

He says he does not care which company wins because both of them screwed him over, and he promises to call the match right down the middle.
