Street Fight
Samuel Shaw (w/ "Christy") vs Ken Anderson
Shaw sneak attacks Anderson on the stage and kicks him down the ramp, then he whips him into the steps and checks on 'Christy'. Shaw slams his head into the apron, then Anderson blocks a second shot before rolling him in, but Shaw knees him into the corner. They slug it out before Anderson clotheslines Shaw, then Anderson connects with a neckbreaker and a rolling fireman's carry slam. Anderson sits with 'Christy' in the corner and Shaw freaks out, begging Anderson to stop before swinging at him, but Anderson counters with a Mic Check for the win.
Winner – Ken Anderson
BP: Shaw is such a creep and it's refreshing to see a gimmick and character development that works so well. Nothing bad here, but not a classic by any means.
Angelina Love comes out and says how great it is to be back, and she thought she would never hear her music again but she's glad to see them. Velvet Sky comes out and Love says she wanted to say a lot before she left, and she owes a lot of her success to Velvet and The Beautiful People. She says her pride might have gotten in the way, but she owes a lot to Velvet and she thinks it's time to get the group back together. Love says she is always asked about The Beautiful People, and Velvet says it's good to see her, but she finally found herself. Velvet says she won the Knockouts Championship and nothing is holding her back now, but she doesn't want to go back. Love tries to tell her how great they could be by getting back together, but Velvet says she needs more time to think this over.
BP: Not sure what to think. Interested to see who turns on who first, I guess?
Rockstar Spud vs Willow
Willow slams Spud into the turnbuckles and but misses a splash, then Spud hits him a few times before Willow comes back with a backbreaker. Willow hits a handspring splash and dances, then Spud rakes the eyes and heads up top, but Willow crotches him on the turnbuckles. He puts Spud in tree of woe position and elbow drops his umbrella into Spud, causing a disqualification, but Willow drops the ref with a Twist of Fate. Willow gets a ladder and takes Spud down with a sit out front suplex, then he wedges his leg in a chair and stomps on it before splashing it from the ladder.
Winner (by disqualification) – Willow
BP: So Hardy is Willow, and Willow is like Hardy's Punisher alter ego, but he still wears a mask. I'm not sure why they acknowledge it's Hardy if he's under a mask, but it was definitely a new side of Hardy that was pretty cool to see.
Bully Ray comes out and says he never thought he'd hear them chant his name, and they say your life flashes before your eyes when you die. He says Ken Anderson slammed him in a coffin and helped him see the light, and he wanted to give them a really good reason for his actions. Bully says now, Bobby Roode and his cronies made it physical, and he was just trying to save Roode from himself. He says Roode winning would have just turned him into another Dixie, which they don't need, so he wants to stop talking and fight. Roode comes out and they slug it out, then Bully jabs him a few times and hits him with an elbow shot before going for a table. He sets it up but walks into a spinebuster by Roode, then Roode sets up a Roode Bomb but Bully counters with a diving cutter, then a powerbomb through the table.
BP: Roode vs Bully? Sold. Great potential matchup, and good segment.
