Kaz gives the impression he accepts Raven’s offer, but then turns against Raven. The match starts off with brawling on the outside. Serotonin work over Kaz on the outside, as Raven distracted the referee in the ring.On the outside, Raven hits Kaz with a kendo stick. Wouldn’t that be a DQ?

Storm came out and pour beer all over the dummy to mock Rhino. The match starts with the two brawling into the crowd. This is an anything goes match. Tenay said for a change, Rhino didn’t arrive early to the arena and hadn’t arrived when the Hard Justice PPV started. The bar reads "Storm’s bar and grill." At the bar, Rhino opened a beer and drank it. Tenay said Rhino "fell off the wagon." He sucked down more "beer" during the match, and sprayed "beer" at Jackie. Rhino back body dropped Storm on the outside, that crashed down "the bar." Rhino shoved Storm’s head into a toilet which was set up on the arena floor.

Black Reign came out from behind to start the match. Harris was busted open as Dustin worked over him on the outside. Referee Rudy Charles tried to stop Dustin’s assualt on the outside, but Black Reign pushed him away. Man handling a referee is not a DQ? A second referee comes out. This is a much darker character for Dustin. Earl Hebner came out, and when he couldn’t control Black Reign, he disqualifies him at 4:40. This doesn’t stop Black Reign. The bell rings over and over, as Black Reign handcuffs Harris in the corner. In comes security, but Dustin tosses them out one by one. Send out the police that is there for Pacman Jones!

Cage pulls out a piece of glass from Abyss’s bag, busting open Abyss. Sting uses a wire cutter to clear out barbed wire in one corner so that he can get into the steel cage. Sting comes in and does a stinger splash. Cage pours out the broken glass in the center of the ring. Christian tries to escape the cage, and is successful. Black hole slam by Abyss on Styles, and Abyss scores the win at 10:10. I guess Cage didn’t want a title shot.
