The stellar event of the night arrives. Matt Cardona will face Chris Sabin.

Bully Ray shows up just before the show ends when he isn’t allowed inside the venue. He grabs a chair and threatens the commentators. Ray comes to the ring with a microphone and wants Josh Alexander but is interrupted by Scott D’Amore. He goes to the ring and is glad that at least one person obeyed him when he said they should stay home, referring to Josh Alexander. D’Amore mocks Ray and his attitude, even going so far as to imitate him. D’Amore thinks Bully Ray needs to change, and he thinks he can, but he knows there’s a good chance he’s still a piece of crap, but he wants to give it a chance.
Scott D’Amore tells how five years ago; he was able to come back to rewrite his story. It may be time for Bully Ray to do the same and change, or be the same as always, with Tommy Dreamer in the hospital because of him and his great friend D’Von Dudley needing a lot of money to consider fighting again. Scott says that when Josh Alexander leaves the Hard To Kill venue, he will have many people respecting him, millions of adoring fans, and a family to be with, but Bully Ray has no one, and he’s just a sad man who will stay with him. His thoughts were spinning in his head.
Bully Ray says that it is not like that, that D’Amore is not correct, and that on January 14, he will be able to say he is a three-time IMPACT World Champion. The two confront each other, and Ray challenges Scott to hit him, which he does. John Skyler and Jason Hotch go up to the ring and grab Scott for Bully Ray to apply a Piledriver followed by a Powerbomb on a table.
