After the match, Melina and Marti Belle celebrate with Rosa.
A video package recaps Nick Aldis’ feud with Marty Scurll and, by extension, Flip Gordon.
Marty Scurll comes to the stage and speaks with Joe Galli. Scurll says he’s there because he wants his shot at the Ten Pounds of Gold. The Villain says Aldis is avoiding him. Scurll says he’s going to keep bothering Aldis until the champion gives him a title shot. Scurll questions why Aldis’ match with Flip Gordon isn’t for the gold. He says a title match is good for business and the fans deserve to see a title defense. Aldis comes to the stage and Scurll goads him on. Aldis calls Scurll’s words audacious.

The champion says Ring of Honor was hot when he was there but now NWA is the hot ticket because of him. Aldis tells Scurll to shut up and he agrees to put the belt on the line against Gordon on one condition. If Aldis wins, any business between them and their respective companies are on Aldis’ business. He also tells Scurll he has to leave the building. Security guards show up and fans chant, “You don’t work here.” Scurll agrees to Aldis’ terms and leaves.
