Eli Drake is in the ring to announce who his partner will be when he cashes in one of his Feast or Fired cases for a shot at the Tag Team Championships at Redemption. LAX interrupts and Konnan gets on the mic. He questions who would team with Drake against such an experienced team like Santana and Ortiz. Drake says his partner is someone Konnan knows very well and is one of the greatest tag team wrestlers on earth – it’s none other than Scott Steiner! Big Poppa Pump says whenever someone wants to get someone else’s ass kicked, they call him and that’s exactly what Drake did! Konnan plants seeds of mistrust between Steiner and Drake, saying that Steiner may not even show up on the night of the event. The two teams trade insults with LAX getting the upperhand!

Callihan is about to take out Eddie with the baseball bat when Eddie’s wife, Alisha comes out to protect him! Callihan turns his attention to her but just when he’s about to do the unthinkable, the lights go out and hardcore legend Tommy Dreamer appears!
