Kurt Angle finds Eric Young backstage and tells him he’s sorry about what went down, but Eric will get the next title shot. He says he will beat Austin Aries and face Eric, but Eric says he doesn’t want to hear any of it. Eric says he is sick of all of this and isn’t sure he even wants to be here, and walks away.
Magnus is in the ring and says tonight is about his fiancee’s future, and he welcomes Mickie James to the ring. Mickie says their lives have been rough dealing with Bram the past few weeks, but that’s over and they need to focus on her career. She says competing with the Knockouts and holding the championship is validating, but her new job is to be a mom. Mickie says her son Donovan is her life now and she hopes they understand, because she is going to go home and be a mom.
James Storm walks to the ring and says they’ve known each other a long time, and people know he likes cold beer, hot women and fast cars. He says they know Mickie is a woman who stands up for anything against anyone, and he doesn’t want to see her go just like all of these fans. Storm says he knows Mickie still loves doing this, but Magnus cuts him off and says this was a hard decision for their family to make. Storm says if it’s a hard decision it shouldn’t be made, and these people still love her, but Mickie says she made her decision. Storm says she loves her family but these fans love her too, and he gets Mickie to agree to one more time, which Magnus doesn’t look happy about.
