Winner and Qualifier for Ultimate X later tonight: Sonjay Dutt
Following the match, Tenay and Borash turn their attention to Jesse Sorenson. They talk about the level of danger that’s present in X-Division style matches, and this leads us into a special update on Sorenson’s rehab.
Sorensen is shown up and walking around to rehab, but still wearing a neck brace. Jesse is shown working out with, and talking to, his doctor. Overall, he looks much better than he did a couple of months ago.
Christy Hemme is in the ring, and Jesse Sorensen is introduced. He makes his way out to the ring, still wearing the collar, of course, and he hugs his mom and girlfriend before making his way into the ring.
Hemme hands over the mic. The crowd chants ‘Welcome back’. Jesse says right before he came out, Dixie Carter asked if he was nervous. He said it was just good to feel anything, because the last time he was in this arena, he couldn’t feel anything from the neck down. He was in an ICU, staring at the ceiling, wondering if his career was over, and if he’d walk again. He says the last thing he heard before he left the arena, was the fans chanting his name. Jesse says it’s the same chant that motivated him to walk down the ramp and stand before the fans to tell them that God put him on the Earth to be a pro-wrestler. That’s what he is, and what he always will be. To everyone in the back, his family, and everyone who stuck by him, he says thank you.
The crowd chants ‘Thank you Jesse’, but he thanks them. He calls out Zema Ion. He says he knows Ion is listening. He hopes that Zema wins the X-Division title tonight, because just like he tried to take Jesse’s career, he’s taking the title from Zema. He’s making a promise that next year at this very event, he’s going to be the X-Division champion, and he’ll cash it in to go on and win the World Championship.

Flip Casanova is out next.
The start:
He makes his way into the ring and Ion catches him from behind with a cheap forearm. Ion takes Flip out with a crazy clothesline before chopping him in the corner.

Flip rolls Ion back into the ring and kicks him in the corner. He tries for something, but Ion simply kicks him away. Ion chokes Flip against the middle rope.
Ion catches a couple of kicks to the upper thigh, but he hits Flip with a back elbow and a crazy dropkick through the ropes to the outside. Ion sends Flip back into the ring and jumps over the top rope, kicking Flip down to the mat face first. Ion grabs his hair spray and uses a bit before running across the ring, and hitting a moonsault into Flip’s knees. Flip hits an atomic drop and puts Ion to the mat before hitting a springboard twisting body press for two. Flip slams Ion to the mat and he goes up to the top. Flip tries for a shooting star something, but Ion moves.
The finish:
Ion plants Flip’s face into his knee, before hitting a modified Gory bomb. Ion pins Flip and gets the three count.
