Commentators: Jeremy Borash & Eric Bischoff.

Brother Devon vs. Robbie Terry(w/ Robbie Eckos) for the T.V. Title: Borash notes that this is Devon's first singles title EVER. We get a quick look at The List which probably includes an inside joke or two. Robbie E is quick to distract the champion, allowing Robbie T to attack from behind. Terry dominates the match but can't put Devon away...Bischoff notes he should be quicker to go for the pin covers. A flying shoulderblock by Devon doesn't knock the powerhouse down but a second does the trick. Diving headbutt draws Eckos up to the apron so Devon tosses him into the ring. Terry once again attacks from behind and Eckos gets in his shots...right in front of the ref so that's a DQ. The post-match attack ensues, but Devon mows them down with a double flying clothesline and clears the ring.

Derrick Bateman(w/ Kaitlyn Bonin) vs. Hunico(w/ Donny Camacho): Hunico takes control after hiptossing Bateman into the turnbuckles...yeah, that would do it. Hunico goes to the second rope but jumps straight into a dropkick. Bateman hits a flippy neckbreaker for two, but Hunico cuts him off with a Saito suplex for his own two-count. A fight on the ropes leads to a re-entry suplex by Bateman...Hunico shifts his weight to land on top but Bateman rolls through the pin into his own cover...for two. Bateman takes out Camacho with a suicide dive, but the lack of focus costs him the match as Hunico catches him on re-entry with the Olympic Slam for the victory.

Backstage, Maxine Perez talks to SOMEONE on the phone and Johnny Curtis creeps into the scene...Curtis claims to be unaware of Matt Striker's whereabouts, saying it was obviously a fatter stunt double on Superstars last week. Heh. They cross paths with Percy Watson and Alex Riley...Percy isn't too happy about Maxine hogging the spotlight during his match last week. Next, Curtis & Maxine barge into a conversation between Tyson Kidd & Natalya Neidhart...we're just trying to get TV time for everyone, huh? Titus O'Neil and Darren Young have a conversation over Young's flirtation tactics with Tamina Snuka...oh yeah, we have another match tonight.

Jey Uso(w/ Jimmy Uso) vs. Titus O'Neil(w/ Darren Young): SIVA TAU~! Jimmy and Darren join the commentary team for this matchup. Regal comments that he left Tyler Reks & Curt Hawkins off the show this week...heh. Jey goes after the leg right away...good move. O'Neil rolls out to regroup, then brawls his way back into an advantage. Jey rallies and delivers the Umaga Smash for a near-fall, then hits the Samoan Drop before going to the top rope. However, the big splash hits only raised knees...then the Clash Of The Titus gets the 1-2-3. Tamina Snuka comes to ringside to check on the Usos...and she briefly locks eyes with Young as they take their leave.

Commentators: Scott Stanford & Matt Striker.

Alex Riley vs. Heath Slater: Hey, one of these guys might just win a match! Slater gains control after a well-timed dropkick to the knee. Stanford notes that Riley is taking his mother to the Hall Of Fame banquet despite a lot of propositions from female Twitter fans...heh. A missed corner splash allows Riley to make the comeback...he hits the spinebuster and the A-Bomb(DDT out of the corner mount) for a close near-fall. Final Score(TKO) is set up but Heath elbows out of it and rams Riley into the turnbuckles, then comes off the ropes with the flying clothesline/neckbreaker drop for the upset win!

Justin Gabriel vs. Tyson Kidd: Guess this is face vs. face now...YAY WRESTLING~! FLIPPIES~! The match spills out of the ring where Kidd halts Gabriel's momentum with a Russian legsweep into the ringside barricade. Stanford wonders if the two could make a good tag team...speaking of which, wonder what happened to that Kidd/Trent Baretta tag team they were setting up? (Think Trent's injured.) Kidd tries for a rana only to get blocked and Demon Bombed...for two. Springboard moonsault misses and Kidd delivers a huge spinkick...for two. Sharpshooter is blocked and Gabriel victory-rolls Kidd...for two. Kidd kicks Gabriel away and backflips to the apron in one move. He tries to slingshot back into the ring but Gabriel blocks the move and delivers a modified powerbomb to get the three-count! The two shake hands after the match...SPORTSMANSHIP~!

Heavyweight Champion Bobby Roode starts the show with plenty of hired security...which becomes important when James Storm confronts him. Bully Ray blindsides Storm, but Storm fights him off and Roode runs for the hills.

Velvet Sky vs. Madison Rayne: Madison and Women's Champion Gail Kim mended fences before the match...but it didn't help Madison too much as Velvet got the decisive win after the sitout Pedigree. Sky challenges Gail after the match...she still wants her rematch for the belt.

James Storm had wanted a handicap match against Roode and Ray, but X-Division Champion Austin Aries isn't happy about Ray busting up his match last week and volunteers to team with Storm tonight. That'll work.

Matt Morgan vs. Tommy "Crimson" Mercer: The former partners brawl in and out of the ring and even the closing bell(double countout) doesn't stop them as they fight right out the door...

Abyss' brother Joseph Parks is still looking for him...

Jeff Hardy vs. Ken Anderson: Odd face vs. face battle...apparently Kurt Angle set up this match, saying Jeff will get a rematch with him at Lockdown if he can win here. Anderson decides to work heel for the night...after a collision leaves Anderson down and Hardy on the floor. Angle runs out to low-blow Hardy and ram him into the ringpost behind the referee's back. Kurt throws Hardy back in the ring where Anderson(unaware of the interference) hits the Mic Check for the win.

Women's Tag Team Champions Eric Young & O.D.B. plan their wedding...

Eric Bischoff challenges his son to face Phil Gunner in the cage at Lockdown...why not?

James Storm & X-Division Champion Austin Aries vs. Heavyweight Champion Bobby Roode & Bully Ray: Roode does everything he can to avoid Storm...Storm gets a hot tag late in the match and rallies against Ray, delivering the Closing Time lungblower. Roode takes a drink from Storm's beer bottle, but the ill-fated spit blinds Ray instead. Roode bails out of the ring, leaving Ray to take the Last Call superkick and get pinned.

Dixie Carter convinced Hulk Hogan to become General Manager again thanks to the persuasion of Sting and the entire face locker room...okay.
