The match saw AJ, then known as Miss April, face former Impact Knockout Rain.

AJ, who signed with WWE the following month in May 2009, lost the match to Rain, which was her second tournament match of the night. She had defeated Roxie Cotton earlier in the night while Rain defeated Brooke Carter in another first round match. Rain lost the finals that night to Angel Orsini. AJ retired from WWE in April 2015 and has been away from pro wrestling ever since.
