(2) SAMI CALLIHAN & PCO vs. THE GOOD HANDS (John Skyler & Jason Hotch)

The Good Hands did mic work before the match and John Skyler said it was great to be in South Carolina (they were in North Carolina), which received boos, of course. He insulted Sami Callihan and PCO. Sami and PCO dominated the first part of the match, but the Good Hands made a comeback. PCO made the hot tag. Sami assisted PCO with a senton and PCO pinned Hotch for the win.

WINNERS: Sami Callihan & PCO in 7:00.

(3) MATT HARDY & JEFF HARDY (c) vs. EDDIE EDWARDS & BRIAN MYERS (w/Alisha Edwards) — TNA World Tag Team Title match

WINNERS: Matt & Jeff Hardy by DQ in 11:00.

Edwards and Myers attacked the Hardys after the match and put Matt and Jeff through the table.

(D.L.’s Take: A crowd-pleasing match with an unsatisfying ending. Crowd was into this the whole way through. I sense that a tables match is coming.)

-Replay of the The System putting the Hardys through a table.

-Santino Marella walked to the stage, to a big ovation. He made a tables match between the two teams at Final Resolution. Who could have called this?
