Elsewhere, Rosemary returned to the dark side as she laid out Kiera Hogan in the backstage area, Sami Callihan regained the numbers advantage for his Homecoming match with Rich Swann, Tessa Blanchard visited Gail Kim's husband's restaurant, and the no-nonsense Lance Storm was unveiled as the special guest referee for the World Championship bout at Homecoming.
