– TJP throws a temper tantrum post match. He then tosses shit from the announce table because he’s a big old baby. So TJP went from just an asshole to over reacting loser.

– Dasha interviews Enzo. Enzo says he’s doing ok following his injuries, and says he may get a Ford tattoo, because he’s built Ford tough. He’d defend his title tonight, but the doctors won’t allow him. Tony Nese arrives and says he had some sense beaten into him and wants back in the Zo Train. He will beat Alexander tonight.

– Jack Gallagher arrives. Gallagher says Itami is not here, because he’s healing form the thrashing he delivered last week. He took out Itami as revenge for what Itami did to Kendrick. He is here to ruin Itami’s life. Itami’s music hits and he’s here. Itami makes his way to the ring, and lays in strikes on Gallagher and follows with a kick. Gallagher gets the umbrella, Itami blocks the shot and chases Gallagher away with the umbrella. This feud must continue.

– Alexander is interviewed about last night’s title match. He knows he’ll get a rematch and is more motivated than ever. Goldust arrives and warns Alexander not to be taken advantage of. He knows Enzo can talk his way out of anything, and warns him that Enzo will be ringside during Alexander’s match with Nese tonight.

Cedric Alexander vs. Tony Nese: Nese poses and we’re underway. They lock up and Nese attacks the arm. Alexander escapes, picks up the pace but Nese cuts him off right away. Nese controls, constantly saying he’s doing it for Enzo. Alexander cuts him off, hitting a head scissors and dropkick. Nese had enough of that bullshit, pulling Alexander to the floor and slamming Alexander to he barricade. Back in and Nese covers for 1. Nese then grounds the action, Enzo yells a lot, making the only real noise in the building. Alexander hits a desperation jawbreaker, but Nese immediately cuts him off, and covers for 2. Nese again grounds things, poses, and that allows Alexander to fight back. Nese whips Alexander to the buckles, but misses a charge. Alexander hits a back elbow, trips up Nese and hits a running kick. Alexander hits a slingshot flatliner. Alexander follows with a beautiful tope, and back in, covers for 2. Nese counters out of the lumbar check and gets a rollup for 2. Alexander quickly fires back with the springboard clothesline for 2. Nese stuns Alexander off the ropes, follows with kicks and knees. Alexander looks for a neutralizer, but Nese catches him and hits a gut buster for 2. Alexander starts to fire up, lighting up Nese, hey work into counters but Alexander falls to the mat, grasping at his leg. But it was a trap as Alexander suckers Nese in and rolls him up for the win. Cedric Alexander defeated Tony Nese @ 9:10 via pin

– Post match, Alexander does a little dance and makes sure Enzo knew he was faking. Enzo tells Nese to leave and is pissed at Alexander for hurting him last night. Enzo talks shit, and Alexander attacks, hits the lumbar check and stands tall.
