Lady Frost defeated Gigi Dolin by Ice Pick DDT at 5:32.
-----
We then get a pre-taped promo from Frost where she reminds Charlotte Flair and the world about how she still has the Money in the Bank contract for a women’s title shot whenever she wants it. Her assured victory, much like revenge, will be a dish best served cold.

The Rock ‘n Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson) defeated the Garvin Brothers (Terry and Jimmy) with Precious at 7:40 via pinfall of Gibson on Terry after a double dropkick.
-----
We then get a pre-taped promo from Terry and Dory Funk Jr. where they promise to put the boots and the branding irons to Morton and Gibson at Hollywood Homecoming II.
COMMERCIAL
Taya Valkyrie with Will Hobbs defeated Mickie James with Rick Martel at 8:40 via Road to Valhalla. Martel tries to interfere, but Hobbs stops him. James whiffs on the MickKick and eats a pop-up lariat to setup the finish. Hobbs and Valkyrie vs. Martel and James is the finals of the BattleBowl mixed match challenge tournament.
-----
Shane McMahon hypes Hollywood Homecoming II and runs down the card. He also promises a surprise on the pre-show that if anybody is on the fence about buying the pay-per-view, it will definitely get them to make that last minute call to the cable company.
COMMERCIAL
In a pre-taped promo, Chris Jericho talks about Jake Robert getting his finally at Hollywood Homecoming II. Jericho admits Roberts has gotten the better of him so far, but winning a few skirmishes is far from him winning the war. Jericho has a lot going on across the UWA as the Universal Men’s Champion, but his focus is on Roberts and the Snake will never get the better of him ultimately and never, ever, be the UWA Universal Men’s Champion.
-----
“Wild Card” Bob Holly retained the WCW Wild Card Title in a bullrope match over “Grizzled” Sam Houston by pinfall via Alabama Slam at 12:20. The two were hooked together at the wrist by the bull rope and used it to whip and choke each other throughout the bout. (This was not a touch all four corners match.)
