Mickie says she has a gift for all of them, and she tells the production team to play footage of her playing a showcase in Nashville. She cuts a promo about how great she is, then she calls her performance historical and says she can't help herself. Mickie says she is a heartbreaker and the best Knockout, then Gail Kim cuts her off and says Mickie has been really funny, and delusional. Gail says no one cares about her performance, because the only thing they were talking about is when she beat Taryn Terrell in a ladder match. Gail says it will be perfect when she gets her title back next week, then Mickie tells her to back away because she needs her space. Mickie says she will give credit where it is due, and she thinks Gail's match was a solid 2, but her performance was a solid 5. Mickie counts to five on her fingers and waves at Gail, then she tries to slap her but Gail tackles her and hits her a few times before the referees run out and break them up.
Austin Aries walks up to Chris Sabin in the back, and he says he doesn't want any trouble and he just wants to know if Sabin is ready for tonight. Sabin says he is ready, then Aries says he's been through this before and he's seen what Sabin can do in the ring, and he proved it by beating him. Aries says Sabin is where he is because of him, and he doesn't mean option C, but he is talking about Sabin beating him for the X Division title. He says he is the guy who tests people, and he pushed Sabin past a limit he didn't even know he had. Aries says he's already beaten Bully Ray, and Sabin beat him, so he will be rooting for Sabin to get the job done tonight and hopes for the best.
World Heavyweight Championship
Chris Sabin vs Bully Ray (c)
Bully gets in Sabin's face but Sabin won't back down, and Bully shoves him back as the bell rings and and chokes him with his boot. Bully holds his leg but Sabin kicks him back, then he kicks him a few times and Bully challenges him and chops him before asking for it right back. They trade shots until Sabin repeatedly elbows Bully in the corner and hits a flurry of mounted punches, then he hits the ropes but Bully sweeps his legs and drops an elbow on his knee. Sabin rolls to the ramp as the rest of the Aces and Eights make their way out, but the Main Event Mafia is right behind them. (Cont'd…)
