Dustin Starr interviews Tim Bosby at the announce desk. Bosby says that at Championship Saturday, "The Problem Child" Aaron Roberts cheated him even after he made him tap out in the middle of the ring, then says he knows Roberts is here today and that he wants one more match. He also says that Roberts is nothing more than an egg-sucking dog, to which the fans agree, and demands Roberts accept the challenge, even asking for Matchmaker King Cobra and Assistant Matchmaker Michael to make the match official. Matchmaker King Cobra shows up and says he has some good news and bad news. The good news is that he has a contract for the championship match today, but the bad news is that in order to get the signature, Bosby has to put his Memphis Wrestling contract. If Bosby wins, he is the champion again, but if he loses, he is gone from Memphis Wrestling. Bosby says that if this is what it takes, then he is on, as Roberts started this and he will end this and become a three-time champion.

Backstage, Big John Dalton is met by Coach Miller, who reminds him that all of the dirtsheets are talking about him and that he has gotten Memphis Wrestling a lot of views, and that he must keep the momentum going.

The mystery woman then makes it clear that she wants the Memphis Wrestling Women's Championship.

Tim Bosby beats "The Problem Child" Aaron Roberts to become Memphis Wrestling Internet Champion for a third time despite a pre-bell attack with the championship belt by Roberts and constant referee distraction by Justin Case after Bosby ducks a championship belt shot by Roberts, which hits Justin Case and knocks him off the ring apron. This allows Bosby to lock in the ankle lock and grapevine it, and without Justin Case on the ring apron to distract the referee again, Aaron Roberts has no choice but to tap out.
