4. MIA YIM VS. DAIZEE HAZE: The bell hadn't even rung to begin the match, because while Mia and Daizee were about to observe the Code of Respect, Veda Scott interrupted the pre-match ceremony and began berating Mia. Eventually, both Mia and Daizee had had enough and knocked Veda out of the ring with a double clothesline. The match was ruled a no contest since it never began.

NON-TITLE MATCH:
”UNBREAKABLE” ARMY MEMBER “PHENOMENAL” A.J. STYLES VS.
RING OF RESPECT WRESTLING HOLO-VISION CHAMPION MICHAEL BENNETT (ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY THE “FIRST LADY OF RING OF RESPECT” MARIA KANELLIS): While technically AJ Styles mathematically the number one contender for the Ring of Respect Heavyweight title, the Ring of Respect championship committee felt it would be unfair for AJ, who is returning from suspension after his instrumental part in putting Dark Menace Forces member Rex Havoc on the disabled list at the end of the 2128 season to get a shot at the Ring of Respect heavyweight title on his first night back, and was therefore given this non-title match against the new Ring of Respect Holo-Vision champion Michael Bennett with the stipulation that should he win the match, then he would receive his rightfully-earned title shot on next week's episode of
OVER-DRIVE. Although AJ put up an incredible fight, all it took from Michael was one PHOTO FINISH to deny AJ his title shot.
CROWD RECEPTION: Indifferent
