*Heath & Rhino backstage promo…Heath made Honor No More’s lives a living hell & now Rhino is back for revenge, which will come in the form of a GORE!!

*Scott D’Amore in the ring…introduces the 5 time X-Division Champion, Frankie Kazarian, who is here to relinquish the X-title & exercise “Option C” in trade for a world title shot…because it sickens him to have “never won the big one”…Frankie will get his shot at Overdrive, the same night a new X-Division Champion will be crowned at the end of an 8-man tournament…Steve Maclin attacks Kaz from behind…Josh Alexander down for the save…runs off Maclin.

*Eddie Edwards arrives…Alisha & Honor No More all want to know where he’s been…he’s been thinking…as Alisha said weeks ago, something has got to end…he’ll explain later.

*Frankie Kazarian finds Josh Alexander backstage…Kaz says he can take care of himself & didn’t need Josh’s help…but since Josh helped him, he returns the favor by becoming the next name added to the long list of people warning Josh to NEVER trust Bully Ray.

Eric Young…EY is setting Swann up for a Piledriver when Swann rolls under & counters into a Roll Up for the win (03:31)…AFTER…Swann rolls out immediately but one of VBD’s yellow-hoodie minions grabs Swann on the ramp & Deaner is out quick to attack…Swann is rolled back in for a 2-on-1 beating…LIGHTS OUT…Sami Callihan appears with his baseball bat & VBD scatter.
