Your hosts are Todd Grisham and S. William Regal, your emcees are Matt Striker and Maryse Ouellet.

Dummy Demonstration: The newcomers get a chance to "impress" with the aid of a prop: A punching bag decorated with a picture of Michael Cole. Derrick Bateman continues the heel promos, then drops a few elbows on the punching bag before adding an Earthquake buttdrop and a BACKDROP DRIVER~! Bateman and Darren Young have both given up on trying to overcome Titus O'Neil's huge lead in redemption points...probably for the best. With only one face left in the competition, the fans naturally pick O'Neil to win. Grisham: "You can learn a lot from a dummy..."

Vladimir Kozlov vs. J.T.G.: Regal is REALLY looking forward to this matchup. A well-timed Timbaland Kick sends Kozlov out of the ring and J.T.G. sends him into the ringpost after that...the former Cryme Tyme member has a good showing to the point where even Regal is somewhat impressed. J.T.G. cuts off a late rally and clips the knee, but runs right into a big headbutt to the sternum and Vlad finishes with the Iron Curtain.

Hornswoggle hits on Maryse again...the little guy's been getting gifts from a secret admirer and Maryse rather emphatically declares that it's not her.

Yoshi Tatsu's backstage action figure shrine has been destroyed. "TYSOOOOON!"

Titus O'Neil(w/ Hornswoggle) vs. Darren Young: O'Neil dominates in the early going, sending Young into a crazy Flair Flip out of the ring...the fight ends up on the apron, but that goes in Young's favor as he hits a neckbreaker onto the edge of the ring. Bateman comes out to observe(and maybe more) as Young takes control...Daniel Bryan is notably absent on this night and Regal mentions Bryan's Money-In-The-Bank victory. Regal says one of his proudest accomplishments is how well Bryan turned out...he also notes that Bryan's too honorable to cash in at an "opportune" moment, which partially explains why he didn't cash in on World Champion Christian Cage on Sunday. Young keeps O'Neil down with a cravate hold but Titus powers out with a gutwrench suplex...Regal says that Gordon Solie called it a side salto. :-D Grisham and Regal note that Bryan got his start on NXT and he's come a long way since then. A series of reversals leads to Hornswoggle arguing with the referee...Young attempts to dropkick O'Neil as he hits the ropes, but Bateman trips Titus which doesn't do EITHER in-ring competitor any good. Both are slow to rise, but O'Neil is the one to capitalize with the Clash of The Titus and score the three-count.
