We hear from King Cobra, who is excited that wrestling is back in Memphis and is happy to be a part of history with the Cobra Cup. He calls the destruction of the Cup last week "heartless" and compares it to having an arrow put through his heart, but says there will be repercussions. King Cobra goes on to say that "The GunShow" Brett Michaels will come back after what happened last week.

The Crowleys (Jacksyn and Otis Crowley) beat The Yung GOATs (Aaron Roberts and Zay Washington) after Otis grabs the tights when pins Zay Washington with a schoolkid pin. After the match, Humongous shows up, and Aaron Roberts has a staredown with him as The Crowleys take the boots to Zay Washington. Humongous soon grabs Roberts by the neck and choke slams him.

Backstage, Van Viciouss tells Queen Katelynn that "Smokin' Hot" Nikki Lane wants to challenge her. Katelynn calls Lane a "peasant" before saying she will accept the challenge on her own time, as she wants Derrick King to show her how it's done first.

Action Jackson beats Bam Bam Malone.

"Smokin' Hot" Nikki Lane vs. Queen Katelynn is announced for next week before the next match.

Derrick King beats "The King of Pow" Chris Lexx after Queen Katelynn grabs Lexx by the foot from the outside, distracting the referee so that Van Viciouss can nail Lexx in the head with a briefcase and allowing Derrick King to win with a superkick.
