Teddy says King Cobra and Michael have been doing a great job, and King Cobra says that he has a match that he wants to book and is deciding on how to go about it. On the subject of Simon, King Cobra says he wants Simon to pay instead of just suspending him after nearly blinding him, and that he has dues to pay. Teddy says he symphatizes with King Cobra and knows he wants payback, but now that King Cobra is a matchmaker, he cannot get into matches even though he can make them. Teddy then announces that there is a man standing here right now who can take Simon on at SuperBout III, and it turns out to be Michael. Teddy makes Michael vs. Simon official for SuperBout III.

Dustin Starr interviews Reverend Ash Taylor at the announce desk. He says he does not care what Big John Dalton wants as The Righteous Path (Reverend Ash Taylor, Brother Bruce, "Righteous" Ryan Rembrandt) have dealt with him, but if he wants to deal with them again and put his hands on him, then he will have to go through his family. Ash Taylor says he is the top of the food chain and that he will have to go through everyone else, then his two druids show up.

Simon tells King Cobra that if he has vengeance in his heart and wants to get in the ring with him, he wants him and Assistant Match Maker Michael to promise him that if he wins, he will be reinstated with no question asked.

We see Van Viciouss, "Hollywood" Jimmy Blaylock and AJ Francis step out of a limo. Waldo is seen in the background.

Dustin Starr interviews The Hollywood Clique ("Hollywood" Jimmy Blaylock and Van Viciouss) at the announce desk. Blaylock says everyone is jealous of them because they have the fame, the muscle and the money, which he pays top dollar for tax. Blaylock then brings out AJ Francis and hands him a stack of $100 bills, and AJ Francis says that "When money calls, you answer the phone." He says that just like cash, he is on demand, then pretends to take a call on the stack of money as he holds it to his ear while disaparaging Elvis Presley. After Francis says they call him "Dolla" because he is all about business, "All The Way" Ray Collins shows up. Collins says he had the feeling Blaylock would buy out AJ Francis with his money, then says he has some cash of his own in the form of Ohio Valley wrestler Cash Flo, who shows up and confronts Francis. Cash Flo says it is great to be back in Memphis, Tennessee, then says listening to The Hollywood Clique and AJ Francis is not great. He says he is tired of them talking down on Ray Collins, who has more heart in one finger than Van Viciouss does in his "pink panties," and tells Viciouss to "nut up or shut up" in a match, and if Viciouss steps up to him, he will punch him right in the mouth. Cash Flo also warns Francis that he knows where he comes from and how he makes his money, then says he makes his money by taking it from fools like Francis.

He says it is 2024 and it is time to kick some bad habits, and he has even given up smoking. He then says that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," and that it is time for everyone to keep their eyes on him and that it is time for "the bad attitude era."

We see a vignette for "The Atrocity" Krule, where Kruel approaches an abandoned house with the Memphis Wrestling Heritage Championship in his hands. He hands the title on a wooden post chained to the ceiling, much to the delight of Brooklynn.

"Big Swole" Justin Cole shows up for an impromptu interview at the announce desk. He says he will not sit in the back and allow nothing to be done regarding "The Atrocity" Krule's attack on "The GunShow" Brett Michaels, and that he wants Krule in a match next week.

We hear from Simon, who says that everyone in Memphis Wrestling hates The Posse (Simon and Mr. Chris) and deems everything their fault. He says that everything they do is the fault of the person behind the camera, who he then beats down. He says that it had to be done, and that nobody ever in Memphis Wrestling or in life will ever stop him, not even the person he beat up. We then find out that the person Simon beat up was Mr. Chris.
