Great Khali, Matt Hardy, and Maria came to the ring for the six-person tag main event to come. The “eclectic mix” were dancing in the ring doing Khali’s dance move back from break. Cue up the Bret Hart remix to bring out Hart Dynasty for the six-person tag match.

Matt Hardy & Great Khali (w/Ranjin Singh) & Maria vs. The Hart Dynasty (Tyson Kidd & D.H. Smith & Natalya) — Six-person tag match
Tyson and Hardy started things off as Grisham talked about Hardy being on NXT mentoring Justin Gabriel. Striker and Grisham talked up the concept, then Kidd landed a move and did a primal scream in Hardy’s face. Maria shot him an “okaaaay” look, then Hardy shook it off and went to work on Kidd. Grisham plugged Money in the Bank qualifying matches on Smackdown tomorrow night as Hardy knocked Kidd off the ring apron and stood tall in the ring. Babyface trio in control going to break.

The Great Khali & Matt Hardy & Maria vs. The Hart Dynasty – 6-Person Mixed Tag
Natalya and Maria started the match off. They didn’t get anywhere really, before Natalya tagged Tyson Kidd into the match. Tilt-a-whirl side-slam by Hardy for two. Kidd wisely backed Matt into his own corner, allowing D.H. Smith to tag himself in. Some double-teaming by the Dynasty garnered Kidd a two-count. Smith got Hardy in a chin-lock. The crowd was the impetus for Hardy’s comeback, and both men ended up on the mat after a side suplex. Hardy went for a tag, but Smith simply pushed him out of the ring. Apparently, Maria touched Hardy on his way past her. Natalya saw it but Maria didn’t realize it. Natalya dragged Maria into the ring, then hit a tornado clothesline on Maria for the pinfall.

Winners: The Hart Dynasty, at 4:11.

Matt Hardy (w. Maria) & The Great Khali vs. The Hart Dynasty
Hardy got the mic pre-match and wished everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day. He said the Punjabi Playboy always has a special Valentine’s Day, and Matt said he’d have one this year as well….with Maria. Maria then came out and Hardy mentioned that the two have been friends for years. David Hart Smith wanted no part of Khali once the bell rang, so Khali brought Tyson Kidd in the hard way. Dropkick to the back of Hardy’s head after a distraction, and a tag to Smith for a standing suplex for two. Side Effect on Kidd for two after Hardy worked out of a rest-hold. Natalya tripped up Hardy behind the ref’s back, and Maria went after her with a Thesz Press on the outside. Roll-up by Kidd for two, and Hardy did the same to Kidd and picked up the three-count. Grisham mistakenly called it two.

Winners: Hardy and Khali, at 2:11. Just kinda there. You could see the reason they paired Maria with Hardy out of nowhere when The Harts and Natalya came out. Obviously, both women would get involved, and they did.

Layla and Michelle McCool were in the ring. Looks like they had the ring ready for a party. McCool said she was supposed to have a championship match with Piggie James at the Rumble, but that’s not happening. The good news is that as of tonight, James will be leaving the brand forever. Layla did her Porky Pig impersonation. This was a going-away party for Mickie. They had cake, chips and punch, balloons in the ring and on the table. Maria came out to interrupt the proceedings. She told the heels that they are annoying. Maria said the only thing those two are good at is torturing Mickie, and it ends tonight. Maria said they’re the only two who should be leaving Smackdown. Maria said she doesn’t care if they walk out or if they’re carried out. McCool said it looked like Maria has been underfed lately, then made some jokes about Maria being on Celebrity Apprentice. Layla suggested that Maria should be happy that Mickie is out of the way because she’ll be able to eat now. As the three of them trash talked in the ring, Mickie James walked out.

Mickie James & Maria vs. Layla & Beth Phoenix
Mickie was almost in tears before the match and had to be held back from attacking Layla by her partner. A few Dropkicks on Layla by Maria. Spin kick by Layla to turn the tide. Beth tagged in and ran over Maria, doing some choking while she was in there. She didn’t get a whole lot of the spotlight. Maria finally made the tag to Mickie, who Thesz Pressed Layla. Mickie dodged another spinning kick and hit a weak one of her own to pick up the win.

Winners: James and Maria, at 3:23.
