Sarah Palin quiently exited the ring behind Velvet & Angelina. They were both wearing white outfits, so I started to see where this was going. Taylor said the Beautiful People made a mochery out of the Knockout’s division with their fakeness. Taylor said they are NOT Divas, they are the TNA Knockouts! Taylor said once you take away the make-up and the slutty clothes, all that is left are two dumb blondes! Roxxi took over and explained that the “Gov.” was NOT Sarah Palin. Roxxi said punking them was not enough, so it was time for the hoes to get mucked! Suddenly buckets of mud were dropped from the ceiling on top of the Beautiful People!
