Your hosts are Todd Grisham & S. William Regal, your emcee is Matt Striker.
We start off with Titus O'Neil, A.J. Lee, and Hornswoggle...but the mini-soap opera(so to speak) is interrupted by Derrick Bateman. Cue the war of words...Hornswoggle and O'Neil leave the ring to run off Bateman but Maxine Perez returns to attack A.J. from behind. The plot thickens...
J.T.G. vs. Tyson Kidd: So who's the face in this matchup? With J.T.G.'s most recent rival having bid adieu, he decides to be the face for the night...Kidd's still got his own issue with Yoshi Tatsu. The commentators push Kidd's impressive in-ring performances in recent weeks...hope that means SOMETHING for him. Kidd gets a modified Canadian Mapleleaf out of nowhere for the surprise tapout...but Kidd's music is interrupted by some foreboding music and a Japanese kanji symbol on the Titantron. I suspect Yoshi may be coming back for revenge very soon...
Matt Striker vs. Darren Young: Striker sets this up with a pretty good pre-match promo...and he wastes no time in taking the fight to Young once the bell rings. Young bails out of the ring and Striker kicks his hand into the ring steps, then delivers a hand DDT(!) in the ring and rolls into a Fujiwara armbar...nice. Young reverses into a pin attempt(two-count) and then cuts off Striker with a clothesline. Striker fights out of a Rude Awakening on the apron only to take a back suplex onto the edge of the ring. Young controls, but Striker nicely blocks a slingshot shoulderblock and hits a hanging Ego Trip in one motion! Cover nearly gets the win but Young gets a foot on the bottom rope. Striker escapes a Strongbuster attempt to hit a backcracker...for two. Striker attempts a La Majistral cradle, but Young rolls straight through to pick him up in the Strongbuster(another cool sequence), hitting the move to gain the victory.
Titus O'Neil vs. Derrick Bateman(w/ Maxine Perez): Bateman introduces Maxine as his new girlfriend...hmm. O'Neil comes out solo as presumably Hornswoggle is staying with his injured soulmate. Titus has plenty of motivation to get revenge for his mentor, but Bateman cuts off O'Neil's early offensive flurry with a dropkick. Bateman actually controls for quite a while, but O'Neil fires back with a huge shoulderbreaker and then blocks the Mantastic DDT before delivering a fallaway slam. Bateman rolls out of the ring and Maxine checks on him, but O'Neil follows his opponent to the floor...O'Neil throws Bateman back in, but a well-timed foot grab by Maxine is enough distraction for Derrick to get the quick rollup pin.
