– PCO defeated Kenny King. Eddie Edwards accompanied King to the ring. King attacked PCO during his entrance, then Edwards distracted PCO from ringside, allowing King to hit a big dive to the floor. PCO hit a dive to the floor, and later took a powerbomb to the exposed concrete after King removed the padding. PCO kept coming at King, so Edwards tossed a kendo stick in the ring for the distraction.

– Bully Ray defeated Tommy Dreamer in the first-ever Busted Open match, which was a First Blood match. Bully hit Dreamer with a cheap chair shot to start. They used chairs, ring steps, a replica title belt, a step ladder, thumbtacks, a cheese grater, and other items. Former NHL Detroit Red Wing star Darren McCarty was at ringside when Bully threw a beer in his face. McCarty tried to fight but security held him back. At one point Dreamer brought the tacks out but he accidentally hit the referee with a corner splash, then was forced to cheese grate Bully’s head. Bully started bleeding but John Skyler and Jason Hotch ran down to give him a towel to stop the bleeding. Dreamer took them both out but Bully threw tacks in his eyes. Dreamer went to use the grater again but Bully pleaded with him, which allowed Bully to hit a low blow. Bully made Dreamer bleed by sending him into the ring post, then he hid his own blood as the referee woke back up to see Dreamer bleeding. After the match, Dreamer was triple teamed until Yuya Uemura made the save but he was also beat down. McCarty hopped the barrier and started brawling with Bully until Hotch and Skyler attacked from behind. Impact President Scott D’Amore then returned but it was too late as Bully put McCarty through a table with a powerbomb. D’Amore brought back-up in the form of Heath, Rhino, Mike Bailey, Jonathan Gresham and Joe Hendry. D’Amore then shocked everyone by hitting a Canadian Destroyer on Hotch.
