Rosemary trips Dashwood to the mar and gets in the referee's face before drilling Dashwood in the corner with a clothesline then an overhead slam. Rosemary goes to the apron and yells at Rayne but Dashwood uses the distraction to hit Rosemary with a middle rope neck breaker and the fight spills to the outside. Dashwood tosses Rosemary back into the ring and goes for the cover but Rosemary kicks out.
Dashwood sends Rosemary to the corner and taunts her but Rosemary locks Dashwood into the ropes with a submission. Rosemary's forced to break the hold after the referee began a five count, Rosemary falls to the outside and Rayne clocks her with a chop to the throat and tosses her back into the ring where Dashwood goes for the cover but Rosemary lifts the shoulders. Both competitors nail each other with simultaneous clotheslines and both are down. Back on the feet, strikes are exchanged, Rosemary nails Dashwood with a lariat, then another and sends her to the corner.
Rosemary lands a corner clothesline, trips Dashwood to the mat and locks in an inverted headlock but Dashwood takes the eyes and forces the break.

Rosemary lifts Dashwood, Rayne distracts from the apron, Rosemary shoved Dashwood into Rayne and rolls her up for the 1-2-3!
Winner - Rosemary
- After the match, Rayne and Dashwood attack Rosemary but Reina de Reinas Champion, Taya Valkyrie rushes the ring and makes the save. Rosemary and Valkyrie stare each other down and both smirk. Rosemary appears to be asking Valkyrie about a potential tag team partnership and Valkyrie looks like she's declined the opportunity. Rosemary exits the ring looking disappointed as Valkyrie's music hits.
- Commentary hypes up next weekend's Slammiversary card and we head to a commercial break.
- Back from the break and we see Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson invading Mark and Jay Briscoe's farm. Doc and Karl approach Papa Briscoe and the Briscoe's father tells Doc and Karl to leave the farm. The Briscoe's come driving in on a pickup truck and the brawl breaks out. Doc and Karl come out on top until Mark, Jay and Papa Briscoe chase them off with various weapons and we head to a commercial break.
- Back from the break and Gia Miller catches up with Heath, backstage. Gia asks Heath if he has any update on the condition of Rhino after Honor No More's attack on him, last week. Heath says that Rhino's injured and needs to have surgery and according to doctor's it could very well be months until Rhino's back in action, and notes that the injury could potentially be career-threatening. Heath says if it's up to him, Honor No More won't make it to Slammiversary and storms off.
- Back at the ringside area, Steve Maclin is making his way down to the ring and it's time for our next match of the evening.

PCO goes up top, Maclin trips him to the floor and knocks PCO back with a dive through the ropes. PCO runs at Maclin but Maclin scoops him up and plants him on the entrance ramp with a spine buster. PCO's mouth is busted open and we head to a commercial break.
Back from the break and PCO has control over Maclin in the corner while back in the ring. PCO clobbers Maclin with a lariat then sends Maclin to the corner and nails him with a rolling senton. PCO drags Maclin to the apron, goes up top and crashes down on Maclin with a Swanton Bomb onto the apron. PCO puts Maclin against the steel steps and tries for another senton but Maclin slides out and PCO goes flying into the steps. Maclin plants PCO with a back-body drop then sets PCO up in a tree of woe over the barricade and crushes him with a sliding elbow.
Maclin puts PCO's right arm in the steps and kicks the steps into the ring post and PCO's shoulder has visibly popped out of the socket. The referee calls for IMPACT medical personnel to come down to the ring but PCO quickly dispatches of all of them. Maclin drags PCO back into the ring and drills him in the mid section with a steel chair then DDT's him into the chair and gets the three-count!
