Winners: No Contest @ 4:45

-Petey gets the Canadian Destroyer on Sharky, and he has fully morphed into Mini-Pump, with the dye job. Steiner says Angle lost last week because of him, and now at Sacrifice he will beat Joe for the title and he will take Angle’s gold medals and make him his personal bitch.

Cornette says he needs JB, because tonight he reveals the 8-men that will make up the rest of the tag teams for the Deuces Wild Tournament. Cornette says it is Thursday, IMPACT, he has more stuff to do so AJ is on his own to find a new partner, if not, he is out of the tournament.

-Back from commercial and West hypes the main event.

~THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE SPEAK~

Mike Tenay is in the ring, and brings out Angelina Love and Velvet Sky. They feel up Tenay a bit as he breaks down the Knockout Makeover Battle Royal. Tenay asks if they are ready to make the ultimate sacrifice. Love says they aren’t worried, they don’t sweat anything or anyone because that would make their makeup run. As far as the match goes, they want to make sure that the makeover goes to someone who needs it, like her. We see Gail Kim on the big screen bald. Then they show ODB bald. Love then runs down the crowd, and Sky says they can look all they want, but no one can ever touch the beautiful people.

This brings out Kim and ODB. ODB says that maybe they can’t touch them, but she can put her hands all over those big old fake fun bags all she wants. ODB and Gail shove them down and they brawl. Sky and Love bail and they blur Love’s top, as she may have been exposed. Don’t blur that shit you need all the ratings you can get. ODB calls them hookers without customers for the night, and then says they will meet later tonight and also promises that one of them will assume their favorite position, flat on their back.

-JB is with AJ. He goes to find Booker T and he and Kurt cross paths. He asks if he has talked to Karen, AJ says no and Kurt says to keep it that way. AJ goes to meet with Booker and asks about being his partner. Booker asks who he is and asks if he has a pass to be back here. AJ says he has held all the titles and is a decorated champion, and Booker BERRIES HIM; asking if he beat JB for those titles. Booker says he is not giving autographs and tells AJ to leave. Ouch.

-In the back with Joe and Nash. Nash holds the title as Lauren asks about the tree-way and tonight’s tag match. Joe says he and Nash saw it coming and he welcomes it. He is counting the days, because he loses competition and destroying people. They will also discover he loves being the champ. Nash says not to forget the money, the money Joe.

Cide says they have respect for Eddie and they wanted to be like him and the brothers; Mondo, Chavito, Eddie and Hector. Cide says they respect the whole family, and especially him. At Sacrifice, they want him to be in their corner to guide them to greatness, the tag team titles. Guerrero asks if he wants the Guerrero family fame and knowledge?
