Dimes comes out for an interview with Gilbert Corsey. Gilbert says everyone was surprised at the outcome last week, but Dimes did it. Dimes says he wasn't surprised, because he busts his butt every week. He beat 5 people in the gauntlet for the TV Title, and Tony Gunn, injured or not, last week for the Heavyweight Title. Amon comes out and calls him a little man and says he wants him in a match for both titles, seeing as he never lost the Heavyweight Title the last time he had it.
Justin Smooth interrupts with Dean Hill. Dean says Smooth found a loophole. Dimes cannot have both titles. Dimes has to give one up and chooses the TV Title. Smooth then pushes him to put him in the match tonight. Dimes wants him and Dean Hill's law says there will be a triple threat for the Heavyweight Title tonight!
