In a non-title match, Jeff Jarrett defeated "Cowboy" James Storm by pinfall with a rollup as referee Andrew Thomas tried to stop Storm from using Jarrett's guitar. This started a beatdown that drew out Chris Harris, Raven and A.J. Styles.
Scott Hudson interviewed Glen Gilberti and Johnny Swinger, who were with Trinity. Swinger said that his pairing with Simon Diamond was forced back in ECW, and that Simon was just riding his coattails. David Young came in asking why he wasn't with them for the interview.

D'Lo Brown and Gran Apolo defeated Kid Kash and Dallas to win the NWA World Tag Team Championship
Scott Hudson caught up with Raven, who said that Sabu would have his back in his match tonight.
