Former LCW Women's Champion Ivory was in the ring with a bandage on her left cheek and was looking less than thrilled. "Lock! I don't know what your problem is.

A burst of flame exploded from under the ring and Lock crawled out and into the ring. "Ivory, Ivory, Ivory," she said condescendingly, "You need to realize that I want to do EVERYTHING I can to destroy Luna." Confused and enraged Ivory replied, "Then why the hell did you help her win?!" Lock grinned and said, "What better way to hurt her than to give her exactly what she wants only to rip it away from her? Plus its A LOT more fun! So, nothing personal, okay?" Ivory's jaw fell in shock and she responded, "Nothing personal? Nothing personal?!? You burned my face and cost me the Women's Title you little bitch! I'm gonna beat your brains out right here, right now!"

Lock defeated Ivory in 4:34 by pinfall after the Lock Pick. After the match, LCW Women's Champion Luna Vachon was on the stage and said "I have no problem fighting both of you at Redemption Day.
