Reby Hardy says the Bennett's need to leave, Matt is the greatest wrestler ever, calls Maria "fire crotch" and threatens to shove her ear ring down Maria's throat after Maria asks Reby if she knows how to be a lady. Matt says they could all be friends, but Bennett has no respect and needs to get in the back of the line on the pecking order. Bennett says he used to respect Matt, Matt is a future hall of famer, but is now washed up. Matt calls Bennett insignificant like Ethan Carter and says he'll fight Bennett right now. EC3 arrives and says Matt, Tyrus and Spud are TNA's three stooges, except they are really EC3's "Three Bitches". EC3 says he prayed to GOD to find Bennett a spot for his career in the after life, thinks he's going to use EC3 to make a name for himself, but EC3 will make sure Bennett's career rots in hell. Bennett says TNA needs a miracle and will decide where and when to fight EC3. EC3 tells Bennett to leave, go get his $4 haircut and isn't leaving till he's fighting someone tonight.
