Melina Perez and Ashley Massaro revealed in an interview that their match almost didn't happen. Ashley had broken her foot in training one week before the show was to take place and the two of them (and the rest of the Diva lumberjills) spent a lot of the night in the guerrilla position not knowing whether or not their match would be on the card. Melina said that an agent then came up to them and said they "had time to squeeze us in".
