Tessmacher ended up getting double-teamed in the corner shortly before Hebner regained control. Rosita worked over Tessmahcer as the two legal women while Sarita took out Tara. Tara interfered in the match and Hebner screamed at her. Seriously, he seemed like his head was going to pop. Tara interfered again anyway and dragged Tessmacher to the corner and tagged in.

He said they drive him up the wall. He then made a few groan-worthy jokes about Traci before announcing the next VP of the Knockouts division, Karen Jarrett. Karen and Jeff made their way down to the ring. Karen said that the difference between her and the Knockouts was that she’s a lady, and they obviously were not.
