They go to Scott D'Amore and propose their idea of having Lee and Susan challenge Fire 'N Flava for the Knockouts Tag Team Championship. D'Amore likes their thought, but he wants to take it up a notch. Next week, Kimber Lee and Susan will team up to take on Jazz and Jordynne Grace to determine the No. 1 Contender towards Fire 'N Flava's titles.
