After announcing there is officially less than an hour before Rollerjam, Cyrus announces that last week, ECW allowed "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes to place his hands on him, and says ECW does not need any more heat with the network than it already has. He also addressed Rob Van Dam's broken leg, saying that he has come up with a solution concerning this and the ECW World Television Championship: Rob Van Dam will be stripped of the title by ECW, and ECW will comply with what he and the network tells them to do. He will let ECW know what they will do with the Television title. He then says it is 57 minutes and 53 seconds until Rollerjam after telling everyone to watch ECW Wrestling tonight.

The match is Chris Chetti's first since returning to full-time action after injuring his back at Anarchy Rulez. Both men share respect after the match, then The Impact Players (Justin Credible and Lance Storm) run in with "The Sexiest Man Alive" Jason and decimate both teams.

Chetti says he set up rings and got dumped on his head by Tazz for three years to make an impact, and he did not have to "wear a yellow jockstrap on his head and carry ["The Heartbreak Kid"] Shawn Michaels' bags to the car" to do it, either. Nova says he wrestled in the ring for free to earn his position in the company, and he did not a girl like Dawn Marie to get over. Chetti says the next time they see them, they will be the ones making the impact.

In New York City, New Jack says he is in the city and he is waiting for Da Baldies (Angel, Tony DeVito, P.N. News) so he can make example out of them.

Sabu's leg is injured due to the chair that has been wrapped around his leg and the subsequent attack from RVD, and after a somersault plancha from RVD onto Candido and Rhino, Sabu is hobbling as he goes for his trademark springboard dive.
