Good match!
They had to delay the taping for a minute to eject a fan who, we are told, was harrasing the announcers. The fan had apparently been warned to knock it off and didn't, so out he went!
Jordynne Grace came out to do commentary.
Madison Rayne vs. Kiera Hogan.
They went back and forth with Hogan making sure she was addressing Grace at ringside. The action was solid but the story was really about building the issues with Grace and Hogan. Kiera pie-faced Jordynne at one point. She nailed a spinning Perfectplex to get the pin. Hogan and Grace faced off, but Hogan left the ring when she entered.
Your winner, Kiera Hogan!

Moose came out for a promo, wearing a suit. He said that when he was a fan, he used to watch Rob Van Dam on ECW TV and used to pull his seat close to the TV to watch him wrestle Taz, Sabu and Tommy Dreamer. Some fans were chanting, “Douche” at Moose. That was pretty funny. He said that he can’t be a fan of RVD because he realized he was just plain better than Moose. He said RVD has been around the world. He said he’s been around the world too. He said that RVD calls himself Mr. PPV but it’s been years since he was on PPV, so he’s going to give him a chance to validate yourself at Slammiversary.
