The Mystery Cameraman is backstage asking Angelina Love how she feels about Eric Young getting up close and personal with her, and she says that it was disgusting, but if he wants to put his hands on her, to come to the ring and face her in a match tonight and to leave her boyfriend ODB at home.

ODB is backstage getting liquored up, and the Mystery Cameraman asks what she wants EY to do to Angelina tonight. ODB says she wants her to go tear Angelina’s weave out and all kinds of stuff like that, but Winter runs in and attacks ODB from behind and they brawl until Winter cracks ODB in the ribs with a metal pipe, then takes her belt off and whips ODB with it, then chokes ODB with the belt and tells her that they’re going to take care of her little boyfriend.

Angelina Love vs Eric Young

Eric goes and ties up with the referee, and Angelina keeps telling him to fight her, but he keeps going back to tie up with the referee. The referee finally has enough and says he’s the official and he needs to wrestle Angelina, so Eric goes to the floor and ties up with a fan instead. He finally comes back into the ring and tries to shake her hand, but instead goes back after the referee and gets a go behind into a waistlock, then uses his body to bulldoze Angelina into the corner and counts at him for a break. Angelina finally has enough and kicks Eric in the cajones…

Winner: Eric Young by DQ

…and then she and Winter begin pummeling Eric and stomping the crap out of him. ODB runs in and goes after Winter, but Angelina blindsides her and the two of them put the boots to ODB. Winter gets her belt again, but EY grabs the belt out of her hand and dumps the both of them to the floor. Eric is still holding his nuts, but helps ODB back to her feet so she makes out with him. Angelina looks absolutely appalled from the rampway, and even ODB can’t help but smile at Eric before they walk out arm in arm.

Winter and Angelina Love are backstage discussing all the drama going on with the rest of the Knockouts division, but she’s a two time former Knockouts Champion and tonight it’s time to remind everyone else what she’s about.

Winter vs ODB

ODB backs Winter to the ropes, but Winter with a go behind and ODB bumps her off with her ass. Winter shoves her, so ODB chest bumps her into the corner and goes for the Bronco Buster and Winter moves, so ODB crashes onto the bottom turnbuckle and grimaces as she holds her imaginary nuts. Winter hangs ODB in the Tree of Woe, then EY goes after Angelina on the floor as Winter cradles ODB for 2.

Backstage, Karen Jarrett yelled at the Knockouts, who were wearing robes. She complained that they weren’t skimpy enough last week and she made them scrub all of the wrestler’s cars. She told them to remove their robes and get to work. Madison Rayne commenced with the disrobing and yelled at the others to follow suit.

Backstage, the women were all in bikinis and were washing cars. Gail Kim showed up and told Tara to take off her robe and get to work. Karen Jarrett returned and said she was proud of the women. ODB appeared as well and Karen told her she had a match for ODB. A street fight against Mickie James. Karen said if she hurt James, she becomes the number one contender for the Knockouts title.

Backstage, the women continued to work on the wrestler’s cars.

We go backstage before tonight’s main event and the women are still washing the cars. Madison is going around supervising, and we see a water fight break out between Tara and Angelina. Brooke and Winter go at it, while Tara goes to break them up, and Angelina brawls with Velvet, while Madison is telling them to stop. Other wrestlers come around and smile and watch the fight. Traci, Karen, and Gail appear, and while Karen and Traci are telling the women to stop, Gail grabs two hoses and sprays the women, while they start to run away.

Karen Jarrett, Gail Kim, and Madison Rayne head to the ring with Traci Brooks. Karen cuts right to the chase and calls out Tara, Brooke Tessmacher, Velvet Sky, Winter, and Angelina Love.

Karen talks about her attempt to clean up the Knockouts Division but she’s been receiving a lot of complaints. She runs a bunch of insults on the men, calling them disgusting perverts. She tells them that tonight’s going to be the first “Lingerie Bowl” and it will become a holiday tradition. She starts flinging insults at Velvet in particular about them being trashy and puts over how Gail Kim is a role model and Gail looks down from her perch on all of them. She tells them to go to the back and start getting undressed.

Winter, Angelina Love, and Madison Rayne vs. Tara, Brooke Tessmacher, and Velvet Sky – Thanksgiving Thong Thunder

The heels come out first, and Taz is all over himself with the women being scantily clad. The faces are next, and they don’t look too happy. Brooke actually doesn’t lose her man-tailored shirt. No posing from Velvet either.

They start with a pose-off. Brooke finally loses her shirt, as does Velvet. We finally get the match started with the heels attacking from behind.

Tara hits a double sledge off the ropes on Winter out of the break. She hits a standing moonsault for a near fall. Brooke hits the stinkface on Winter coupled with a couple arm drags.

Madison drops Brooke onto the mat in the corner then chokes her on the ropes. Winter hits a backbreaker for a near fall on Brooke. Taz can’t get rid of the innuendo commentary. Angelina gets a tag and also a near fall, and the heels keep the ring cut off so Brooke can’t get the tag.

Brooke tries a small package but only gets two. Angelina takes control again though until Brooke uses some sort of face plant that both end up laying on the mat over. Both get tags and Velvet hits a series of clotheslines on the heels. She tries her butterfly facebuster but Winter breaks it up. The match breaks down.

Madison hits her finisher on Velvet then goes and gets her title belt. Mickie James hits the ring to drop Madison across the ropes, and Madison turns right into the Butterfly Facebuster for the win.

Winners: Velvet Sky, Tara, and Brooke Tessmacher

We go backstage where Karen is berating the participants in the match. She says they thought they must’ve been so sneaky not actually wearing skimpy lingerie, so she’ll be picking the outfits for their match next week.
