Santino Marella meets with Bully Ray and Tommy Dreamer. Marella proposes to both of them to do with David LaGreca the first Busted Open Radio live at No Surrender, but Dreamer rejects the offer and tells Ray to each follow his own path. Bully Ray asks him to leave IMPACT if he is going to do that, but Dreamer refuses and eventually grows tired of him.
Marella reassures them and proposes that they talk about it in an edition of Busted Open Radio. The two ask to speak first on this program and Santino finally decides that next week they will each have a one-on-one fight and whoever wins in the shortest time will have the opportunity to speak first.

Gia Miller interviews Masha Slamovich and asks if she thinks Mickie James doesn’t see her as a real threat. Masha thinks so, and that Mickie has misunderstood the message she wants to convey, so she asks her to sit in the front row tonight to see what she’s going to do with Alisha.
