The show started with Bo Rotundo and Husky Harris in the back and they are alerted to something outside and they see someone in the parking lot after being attacked.

Assistant to the FCW General Manager, Abraham Washington came to the ring with the Tag Title Belts. He announces that the Tag Titles had to be vacated and that they will determine the new FCW Tag Champions when Bo Rotundo and Husky Harris will face Brad Maddox and a tag team partner of his choosing.

Brad Maddox comes out and he appears heartbroken. He talks about the tragedy of Briley Pierce's injured leg and how he would be unable to wrestle for a while. Brad mentions that he has searched for a new partner and it is . . .

Eli Cottonwood.

Match Number One: Husky Harris and Bo Rotundo defeated Brad Maddox and Eli Cottonwood to become the new FCW Tag Team Champions when Rotundo pinned Maddox after a spear.

During this match, William Regal leaves the announce table.

Damien Sandow comes out and he demands that the lights be brought up in the arena and then turned off so he can have his SPOTLIGHT. When the spotlight goes on Sandow, he is super kicked by Steamboat.

Road Dogg comes out and joins Byron and Chris at the announce table.

FCW Champion Leo Kruger comes out and he talks about Leakee and how he must look to the future. He wants to give an underdog a chance so he has initiated the Leo Kruger Classic. It will be a non-title match, but if that person can win the match, they will get a future title match. If that person loses, then they will never get a title match again.
