Carlito's Cabana, with Eddie Guerrero as guest. Eddie called out Rey Mysterio, who comes to the ring. Eddie explains that a year ago he was WWE Champion, and he has become obsessed with the belt and trying to get it back. Eddie asked Rey to forgive him for that, and said that he was going to stop thinking about what he doesn't have, and instead focus on what he does have, the WWE Tag Team Title and his family. Eddie said he considered Rey part of his family. Eddie and Rey made up, when MNM appeared on the screen. MNM demanded a WWE Tag Team Title match. Eddie told them if they wanted a title match, they needed to come out to the ring and challenge them like men. Melina said they were more comfortable backstage, and the camera pulled back to reveal that MNM were on Eddie's Lowrider. They left their "calling card" for the tag champs by spraypainting "MNM" on the side of the car.
Eddie and Rey go back to the Lowrider, but MNM are gone. Eddie says there will be a tag title match tonight.
Matt Morgan was interviewed backstage, and talked about debuting tonight on Smackdown. Morgan is doing a stuttering gimmick, like the old Buh Buh Ray Dudley gimmick in ECW.

Heidenreich came out to the ring and said he had spent the last several days in New York looking for a friend. He said he found that friend, and wanted to bring him out to the ring. Out came his "new friend", the Brooklyn Brawler. Heidenreich read the Brawler a poem about being his friend, then asked him what he thought of it. Brawler said that the poem "sucked", he was embarrassed, and he wasn't Heidenreich's friend. Brawler said the only thing worse than his poem was when the New York Yankees choked against the Boston Red Sox. Brawler then took off his Yankees shirt, put on a Boston shirt, and claimed he is now "The Boston Brawler". Heidenreich, upset of Brawler not being his friend, laid him out with a side slam and walked off.
