The DCC ("The Cowboy" James Storm, Eddie Kingston, Bram) show up to start the show. Storm says we are looking at three bad men, and that their plan was simple. If someone steps up, they knock them down, and they have done just that as they do not make promises that they cannot keep. He goes on to say that the world is going to hell, but for The DCC, business is booming and business is good. Eli Drake and Tyrus show up, and Tyrus tells Storm that he writes checks his ass can't cash before asking how tough the three members of The DCC are against the two of them.

Brandi says if she has a problem, she gets right down and solve it, and right now, she has a problem with Rosemary playing mind games with her. Brandi asks Rosemary if she wants to play mind games or throw hands. She then calls Rosemary out. Rosemary shows up along with Crazzy Steve and Abyss, and Rosemary tells Brandi that Decay saw potential in her, but she rejected them, and that decay comes to everyone, either by choice or by force. As Crazzy Steve and Abyss approach the ring, Rosemary tells Brandi that if she wants to fight, it's her funeral, and it doesn't take long for Rosemary to lock the guillotine choke on Brandi. Moose rushes in to make the save, then stares down with Rosemary before Rosemary slinks out of the ring.

Aron Rex calls Robbie E a walking fashion violation and the reason God invented eyelids as nobody wants to look at him. He says he'll make an exception to violence not being the answer when he and Robbie E step into the ring tonight.

Moose tells Decay that if they mess with Brandi Rhodes, they miss with him, and there is no decaying the Moose. Brandi says she can play mind games, too, and that she has friends around here. She challenges Decay to a mixed tag team match, and Moose says that if they want war, they've got it.

Before the next match, Aron Rex demands that his name be sung instead of spoken, and has Rockstar Spud sing it several times to show the fans how it's done. Robbie E's music interrupts, however.

He then uncovers Vanguard-1 from the veil on the podium, and announces that Vanguard-1 has been upgraded to allow for teleportation and become the most powerful drone in space and time. With Vanguard-1, team after team after team will fall and they will take title after title after title until they are the greatest tag team in all of space and time.

He now calls himself the crown jewel of The Helms Dynasty (Helms, Lee, Everett). Helms then says there is a weakness in the Helms Dynasty: Everett, who he says has squandered every opportunity he has received. Helms says Everett is in the company because of him, and asks how many times he can fail him before he has to trim the fat. Everett says he has stepped on grenades for the dynasty, and understands that Trevor Lee is a great wrestler, then says the real problem is Helms, who he says is living off his former glory.

Lashley hits the Spear, and retains the World title. After the match, Angelina and Davey torture Eddie and Alicia, with Angelina pulling on Alicia's hair while Davey chokes Eddie out with his belt.

He also entertains the thought of Jeremy Borash as his opponent, but calls JB "a joke." All of a sudden, Grado appears. Lashley can't tell if Grado or JB is the bigger joke, but Grado says JB is a bigger joke than he'll ever be, and he says that he is no joke and that Lashley can be beaten.

Suddenly, Moose shows up and stares Lashley down before hitting him with a few clotheslines.
