She then says Gail wants to be like her, but Gail calls her "a crazy-ass bitch" and says she's nothing like her. Maria says Gail married a celebrity chef, then says she herself enjoys being a celebrity.

Rosemary says the tag titles are pretty, but everything pretty eventually rots and dies in their world. Roode knows he and Storm aren't going to get everything they want right now, but since they have a ref, they might as well have a fight. Roode and Storm charge the ramp and fight The Decay. This starts a match.

Beer Money ("The Cowboy" James Storm and Bobby Roode) vs. The Decay (Crazzy Steve and Abyss) ends when Abyss pulls the ref out of the ring after Beer Money hit the DWI on Crazzy Steve.

Reby says Jeff abandoned Matt when he became "a redneck Evil Knievel." After Reby turns her back on Jeff and the crowd, Jeff makes it clear that there a lot of bitches in the ring. Matt says that he simply took Reby's advice: stop giving, start taking. As he keeps saying that Jeff is standing in his shadow, Jeff tells him just how appalled he is. Matt says that it might as well be time for the two Hardys to go their separate ways. Jeff Hardy says he stands by calling the now-chanted-for Ethan Carter III the best wrestler on the planet, simply because he won the World title fairly. Jeff, now medically clear, then says he wants to be the first person that Matt defends the title against.
