The return of Domino!

* Duke & Bo Rotundo & Wes Brisco beat Jules & Jimmy Uso & Donny Marlow.

* Heath Slater pinned Richie Steamboat - the finish appeared to have been botched which necessitated Slater hitting a top-rope forearm for the pin.

* Liviana & Titus O'Neill came out to speak to the crowd but were interrupted by Michael Tarver. O'Neill took issue with Tarver hitting him last week when he was the special ref for Tarver's match. Liviana made a match between the two for later. Justin Gabriel came out and was told he has a special opponent, a former WWE title holder. Out came Domino to the old Deuce & Domino theme music. Domino said he was to now be called Cliff Compton and a match was set between him and Gabriel for later.

* Curt Hawkins & Jackson Andrews beat South Beach Boys (Percy Watkins & Darren Young).

* Wade Barrett defeated Johnny Prime.

* Eli Cottonwood & Skip Sheffield defeated Tyler Reks & Johnny Curtis.

* Tiffany, Savannah & AJ Lee beat Rosa Mendes, Naomi Knight & Serena Mancini.

* Michael Tarver dominated Titus O'Neill before hitting him with a knockout punch.

* Vance Archer & Alex Riley were supposed to challenge Joe Hennig & Brett DiBiase for the FCW Tag Team Championships but Brett had a neck injury and was not cleared to wrestle. Brett said he had a replacement with the same last name, and Legacy's music hit. Ted DiBiase came out to a massive pop, and he and Joe successfully defended the titles with both men hitting their finishers and pinned the challengers at the same time.

* FCW Heavyweight Champion Justin Gabriel beat Cliff Compton by DQ after Wade Barrett attacked Gabriel. Michael Tarver hit the ring to attack Barrett. FCW Lieutenant GM Norman Smiley came down to the ring and made a tag match involving all four men. Gabriel and Tarver defeated Compton and Barrett after Tarver knocked out Compton and Gabriel pinned him. Before the match, Compton gave us one of Domino's trademark Andrew Dice Clay-esque "oh's" for old times sake.


Notes:
* WWE Intercontinental Champion Drew McIntyre and former ECW General Manager Tiffany signed autographs before the show. McIntyre had the belt with him.

* Big E. Langston and David Ortunga did commentary for the first half and Abraham Washington and Byron Saxton did commentary for the second half.

* Courtney Taylor & Aksana alternated ring announcing duties.

* Also, a few folks I'd consider reliable (among them is sometimes FCW reporter Jason Davis) claim they saw CM Punk peek out from behind the curtain during the six diva tag match that featured Serena. I didn't see him so I cannot confirm this.
