Fire N Flava, and Rosemary and Havok both pestered Scott D'Amore on last night's broadcast, with the latter essentially demanding a Knockouts Tag Team Championships opportunity, and the current champions staking a claim for why they don't deserve one. So, of course, D'Amore sides with the babyfaces, giving Rosemary and Havok a number one contender's match next Thursday vs. Kimber Lee and Susan.
The issue here is that D'Amore is always doing this. Just take a look at Rohit Raju's time as X Division Champion. The former Team Canada coach refused to speak to 'The Desi Hitman' at times. When TJP - who was barred from challenging Rohit - lifted the title under the Manik guise, Scott allowed it. Would he have done has TJP been a heel? Nope.
With the Knockouts Tag Team Championships, things are a bit different, given the lack of depth to the division. Considering Kimber and Susan were the most recent challengers, though, and are already involved in a story of their own, maybe just skip the contendership match?
