Ethan Carter III and Tyrus show up. They're not in a good mood after that surprise attack from Mr. Anderson last week. As EC3 issues a public warning, Mr. Anderson shows up. Since EC3 has been in a hair-cutting mood, Anderson has shown up with an electric razor of his own. EC3 sics Tyrus on him, but it's all a distraction so that Mandrews and Rockstar Spud can attack EC3 from behind. This starts a brawl, where Tyrus appears to be on top until he falls victim to a Mic Check from Anderson. Tyrus is soon strapped to the bottom rope with duct tape, and Anderson proceeds to cut Tyrus' hair instead. Spud tells EC3 that Tyrus is the first customer at the Rockstar Spud Barber Shop, and that EC3 himself will be next.

Bram doesn't care what she has to say to him, and says he attacked Magnus to "wake him up," and blames Mickie James for "watering him down." James says the only reason Bram attacked her husband is because he knows he's only half the man Magnus is, and that Magnus would easily whip his ass. She then proceeds to call Bram a little bitch, and when Bram corners her, she slaps him. Officials have to keep Bram away from Mickie James.
