Christy Hemme is in the ring and say her guest has a big announcement for Slammiversary, and introduces Mr. Anderson. Anderson checks out Hemme and says he was hoping they could have a hard hitting interview but he… he looks her over and she slaps him. He says he’s not a pig, he’s an asshole. He says the fans are assholes too because they were hoping for a wardrobe malfunction as well. He gets to his big announcement and says Beer Money didn’t have opponents and he stepped up to the party. He says he couldn’t do it by himself and introduces his partner, Jeff Hardy.
Hardy grabs the mic from Christy and says people have been wondering why he would ever team with Anderson. Hardy says Anderson is a funny asshole and the craziest guy he knows besides himself. He says Slammiversary is going to be a party and invites all the creatures but Anderson says he is a cheap asshole and it’s BYOB. Beer Money cuts them off and comes down to the ring looking unhappy. Roode says its cute that TNA’s newest BFF’s have teamed up. Roode asks them what they know about tag team wrestling and Hardy looks shocked. Roode says OK, Jeff had success early in his career but his brother carried him, and they sucked anyway. Roode says they are a great team, like brothers, and says Hardy and Anderson are like oil and water. He asks them what makes them think they can go into the ring with Beer Money at Slammiversary. Anderson cuts them off and wants to know why Roode’s hair is always wet and tells Storm two people wear sunglasses indoors: blind people and jackoffs. Storm says Anderson is funny, and he knows some comedy himself. Storm goes after Anderson and then all four guys brawl as security tries to separate them as we go into a commercial break.
When we get back Hardy and Storm are fighting around the ringside area and this match isn’t official yet. Hardy pulls up the padding and hip tosses Storm right onto the cement floor. Hardy finally throws Storm in and the ref rings the bell.
