Highlight from Saturday Night’s Special are shown of Tessa Blanchard winning the women’s battle royal, last eliminating Kamille Kaine. Blanchard then lost her immediate U.S. Women’s Title shot against Taya Valkyrie with Kamille interfering.
Tessa Blanchard defeated Lady Frost by pinfall via Buzzsaw DDT at 8:35.
Post match, Blanchard asks Kamille Kaine what her deal is and why she interfered in Blanchard’s title match against her. Kamille walks out to the entrance stage with a microphone. She goes to speak, notices the fans booing, lets that stand for a second, then smiles wryly at Blanchard and walks off without saying anything and echoing her debut as always being silent.

Ronnie Garvin cuts a pre-taped promo on One Man Gang. He’s wearing an eye patch. OMG tried to take his eye at Starrcade International. He should have taken his life. The mistake Gang made was leaving Garvin with breath in his body and a fire in his belly. This isn’t over between them and as the Bible tells us, it’s going to be an eye for an eye.
