That concludes tonight's pre-show dark matches. I always recommend watching the episode first on TV or online before reading the rest of the report. Again, you can check it out on WBNA-21 in the Louisville area Saturdays at 11AM and 9PM (check local listings) and on OVW's official website Mondays at OVW TV.
Gilbert Corsey & Ted McNaler are on commentary, and Brittany Devore & Mercy Keller are the ring announcers.
We see a video of Tony Gunn entering the building earlier today and Randall Floyd & Dustin Jackson confronting him wanting answers. Tony walks away without saying anything.
Justin Smooth comes to the ring after the intro recapping Fight for Freedom. Smooth says the best part of that recap was his successful title defense against Corey Storm. He beat Corey cleanly. He says Corey gave him a good fight and tried to make a name for himself, but Smooth says that he is a mega star, a titan, the champ...and he gets interrupted by Corey.
Corey says he's lying to these people. He was the better man and Smooth resorted to cheating and putting his feet on the ropes to beat him. He gives it to Smooth that he gives him a fight every time they step in the ring together. Everyone on social media is asking what's next for Corey. He is entering himself into tonight's TV Title gauntlet. Smooth laughs and says he's going to go from the Heavyweight Title down to the TV Title?
Rhino's music hits and he comes out. Rhino gets in Smooth's face, but Smooth says he misunderstood. The TV Title is prestigious and it's great to have him here in his house. Smooth leaves the ring and Rhino tells Corey that he was impressed by him last week, but Rhino is bringing 110%. Corey says that's fine, he's bringing 120%!

Leonis dives out onto Jay as Ca$h gets in the ring. Maximus with a spear and the 3 on Ca$h, but Josh argues that Ca$h wasn't one of the participants. Hy rolls Maximus up from behind for another 3.

Chace & Nigel come out with a $500 challenge. They pick out the merchandise lady and tell her if she can walk a glass of liquid from one post to another she wins. As she gets close, Nigel knocks it out of her hands with his croquet mallet. They say better luck next time.
