Bosby says he told everyone he would cash in the Cobra Cup at the right time for months, then tells "The Gift" Ray Sanders that it was just business and that it was a privelege to "throw [his] little ass around in front of his entire family." He then tells Dustin Starr to call Jerry "The King" Lawler so he can crown him as the new king of Memphis Wrestling. Suddenly, Derrick King shows up, and Derrick says that he understood why Bosby did this, but he could have done this at another time instead of interrupting "The Gift" Ray Sanders. Bosby says that if Derrick has a problem, then he should do something about it. Derrick says he may not be able to wrestle Bosby, but he can kick his ass, and punches him in the face. This starts a brawl, and Bosby fights back. Bosby tries to hit Derrick with the Heritage Championship, but Derrick ducks and hits a couple of right jabs. When Derrick goes for the superkick, Bosby catches it and hits him with a low blow before putting him in an ankle lock until he taps out. Multiple referees show up after Bosby lets go. Bosby leaves at first, but slides back into the ring to put Derrick in another ankle lock.
