Knockouts Tag Match: Tara & Gail Kim vs. Velvet Sky Taryn Terrell
Joey Ryan starts to check the girls' legs for foreign objects. He slaps Velvet on the butt and Tara attacks her as the bell rings. Ryan starts to massage Velvet's shoulders and she tags Taryn. Ryan is more interested in her assets than counting the fall. Velvet tags back in for a double shoulderblock on Tara. Ryan gets into position in a sleazy way but doesn't make the count.

Velvet avoids a standing moonsault from Tara and tags Taryn who speeds things up against Gail. Taryn hits a crossbody off the top onto Gail. Things break down as Ryan is smitten with Gail. She seduces him in the corner and he starts to oil himself while Taryn rolls Gail up. Gail finally reverses and grabs the tights as Ryan makes the quick count.
