Rickey Shane Page’s Open Challenge
Rickey Shane Page says that it’s not going to be an open challenge he’s instead inviting a student out to wrestle him. Marcus Mathers comes out and he tells him to go to the back and he’s just a child that there’s no way he’s going to wrestle him. Next, he brings out 411, the son of ECW wrestler 911, 44OH! jump him as well. Danhausen comes to answer the challenge and gets jumped by 44OH! Finally, Orange Cassidy answers the challenge to raucous applause.

Orange starts the match by using his typical antics to stay away from RSP and 44OH! A quick small package attempt gets a two-count for Orange Cassidy. Orange puts his hands in his pockets and RSP takes them out a couple of times and they play around for a little bit before getting back to wrestling.
