L.A.X. and oVe confrontation, Scarlett Bourdeux Segment
L.A.X. and oVe have a confrontation backstage that lead into both teams threatening to tear each other apart, as Konnan gets in the middle and breaks it up.
Scarlett Bordeaux comes down to ringside. She announces next week she will decide on a winner of her talent search. Tonight, she wants to celebrate the debut of Impact Wrestling here in Nashville, promising that Impact will be edgier. She teases the crowd and how bad they want to see the whole “smoke show” with the crowd with a count down. Before Scarlett could strip down, the Desi Hit Squad interrupt. They tell her to take a seat and she refuses. The Desi Hit Squad keep belittling her until suddenly Scott Steiner comes out to make the save for Scarlett. He gets on the microphone and says he came here to watch the show, talking about going hunting and pulling a groin muscle. He said they ruined the moment as he wanted to Scarlett get her freak on. Scott takes down the Desi Hit Squad with ease, with a Belly to Belly Suplex and a T-Bone Suplex followed up with a double Steiner Recliner. Scarlett breaks it up and says she loves the violence but wants to put on a show for the people, then begins performing a striptease for the audience and Scott Steiner respectively. We then cut to a commercial break.
