It was promoted that Mickie James had an announcement to make. She appeared in front of the crowd and stated that she is looking to earn her way back to the Knockouts World Championship. Along that journey, if Mickie is to lose, she’s stepping away for good.
There was an X Division Championship match between Kenny King and the champion ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey. With an assist from Maria Kanellis-Bennett, King defeated Bailey to become champion. The match ruling was overturned when the first official for the match, who was knocked out of the ring, saw Kanellis-Bennett help King and then instructed the second official to restart the bout. Mike Bailey went on to retain.
