Jeff Jarrett has a talk with BG James and Truth. He tells them that they should stick together once they go to Spike TV, considering they might be fired. JJ says it’s no coincidence that the management put the 3 Live Crew with different partners for the CC Memorial Cup. Konnan shows and asks why weren’t they in his match, instead of talking to JJ. Konnan tells Jarrett to go away and the rest of 3LK say that JJ is making sense.
Christopher Daniels vs Shark Boy: if there’s any wrestler that is not needed for their big move to Spike TV, it’s Shark Boy. The guy’s whole gimmick is for the independents, not for the big leagues. Anyway, both men trade armbars. A funny moment happens while Daniels has Shark Boy grounded, Shark Boy tries to pull Daniels’ hair, but finds out that he doesn’t have any, so he rakes him instead. Back body drop to Daniels to the outside. Flying body press by Shark Boy. After a few chops, he brings Daniels back in the ring. When Shark comes back in, Daniels starts the attack with kicks. Kneedrop gets 2. Hiptoss and enziguri by Daniels. Shark comes back with kicks and Daniels goes into Shark’s knee. Shark Boy hits 2 clotheslines, Daniels ducks the third and Shark gets a dropkick.

AJ Styles shows up and distracts Daniels so that Shark Boy could cradle him for trrrrrrrrrrrois.
