The five participants in the match were Senshi, Alex Shelley, Sonjay Dutt, Austin Starr and Jay Lethal. Dutt first eliminated Shelley via submission. Senshi next pinned Lethal following a running dropkick. Starr then eliminated Dutt after a brainbuster followed by a 450 splash. After Shelley distracted Starr while going for a 450 splash, Senshi was able to eliminate Starr to win the match.
Next was a bikini contest between Eric Young and Ms. Brooks. Young came out in a t-shirt with a bikini painted on it, to which Robert Roode, who came out with Brooks, grabbed the mic and demanded that Young be disqualified. Young in response removed the shirt to reveal he was wearing SpongeBob SquarePants boxers. The referee told Young he would be forced to disqualify him since they were not actually a bikini, to which Young removed his boxers to reveal a SpongeBob bikini. After Young was declared the winner, Roode threatened that if Brooks couldn’t get Young to join Robert Roode Inc., that she would be fired.

Christopher Daniels successfully retain the title against Chris Sabin after he hit the Best Moonsault Ever. After the match, Lynn grabbed the mic and demanded both men shake hands.
