-Lita and Matt Hardy are kissy kissy backstage, when security and Bischoff show up to remove Matt from the building. Bischoff says he doesn’t want V1 interfering in the World Title match. Matt says he’s here to watch his girlfriend’s match, not interfere. Bischoff says he has 60 seconds to decide whether he wants to stay – in which case Lita is removed from the Women’s title match. Matt says he knows how important the Women’s Title is to her, so he decides to leave.

-Women’s Title match is next!
