-The show opened with A Moment In Paredyse (a talk show much like The Barber Shop, Piper's Pit, etc.). Paredyse's guest for the evening was Mike Mondo. Mondo bragged about defeating Jason Wayne the week prior. Paredyse showed a clip illustrating that Mondo cheated. Mondo bragged about his win, said he was looking forward to getting his title shot at the August 6th Saturday Night Special. OVW Heavyweight Champion Jason Wayne then came out to the ring to confront Mondo, challenging him to use his title shot "tonight". Johnny Spade then came out, reminding Wayne that he still had a title shot at the SNS, and reminding Mondo that he was never beat for his Number 1 Contendership. Jason replies that he'll take them both on at the SNS in a triple threat match.

Ted informs Adam that he has a tag match, Adam is stoked but Ted tells him that he's not teaming with Ted, but rather the Blossom Twins (identical twin sisters from England). The three leave, and Raul LaMotta is shown texting by himself. Randy Terrez approaches him and says he got them a match against one another at the SNS. Raul doesn't look pleased.
