In the Arena:
Team 3D is announced and make their way out to the ring to a bit less love than I would have thought, considering how long they’ve been gone from TV. It seems to pick up a bit though.
Brother Ray says he has one question, and asks if the crowd are having a great time, to much applause. Ray calls out the date that he and D-Von promised to each other to become the most decorated team in tag team history, and it’s only because of respectful fans like the one’s in TNA, that they’ve worked all over the world and in almost every single major organization. Ray says there comes a time in a career when you wonder what’s left to do, because they’ve conquered everything in tag team wrestling. Ray says as of this very moment Team 3D is officially retired.
Ray says they have on request. If they’re going out, they want one more match. They want to wrestle the best tag team in the world today, and if you’re the TNA World Tag Team Champs, they’re the best in the world, so they’re talking to the Guns. If they can beat Ray and D-Von, they can write it at the top of their resumes, but if 3D win, they retire 24 time tag team champions. Ray thanks the crowd for always screaming at the top of their lungs. The crowd yells get the tables, and D-Von says ‘Testify’, before 3D salute the crowd, and head to the back.

Flair and Fourtune are out next, Flair wearing a terrible wife beater. Both teams got fairly decent reactions, and it should be interesting to see if the fans favor one team over the other in the actual match.

Stevie Richards and Kaz start things out. Kaz gets the upper hand with a huge right hand and a series of forearms to Richards’ face.

Rhino hits a big spinebuster and a huge gore to Storm, and the cage roof begins to lower. Flair and Foley finally boils over and they begin brawling on the outside, trading punches and chops. Flair blades pretty obviously, and he’s bleeding too. People are grabbing weapins and hanging from the cage roof, and whacking each other with weapons, and Flair and Foley are fighting, and as always this match is a complete mess.
Raven and Morgan trade Kendo stick and trash can blows, Morgan goes to bicycle kick Richards, but he ends up kicking the cage instead.
