At Cyber Sunday 2008, the fans voted for Cryme Tyme to face Miz & Morrison in a tag match. Highlights were shown of the match including Miz and Morrison effectively keeping JTG away from his partner, using cheap shots and doubleteams. JTG escaped as Miz tried to slingshot him into Morrison for an elbow. Instead, JTG hit Morrison off the apron and stomped on Miz with his boot. JTG crawled over for the tag to Shad. Morrison tagged in as well, but Shad clotheslined him down, then booted Miz down as well. Shad had the momentum but Morrison escaped a pin at 2.
All 4 men ended up in the ring after Miz broke up Shad's pin attempt on Morrison. The ref tried to get JTG out of the ring and as he was distracted, The Miz ran over and kicked Shad in the leg. Morrison took the opportunity to hit the Moonlight Drive, then stole the pin.
Winners: The Miz & John Morrison win via pinfall over Cryme Tyme.

Todd Grisham mentioned this year was ECW's 100th episode, and that he and Striker won the Slammy Award for top commentary team.
Grisham and Striker discussed the roller coaster year Matt Hardy had. It started when his tag partner MVP viciously attacked Matt and put him on the shelf with a bad leg injury. Matt made his surprise return at Wrestlemania 24, when he showed up at the Money in the Bank Ladder Match and knocked MVP off the ladder before he could get the briefcase. Matt delivered a Twist of Fate on MVP off the ladder.
- Highlights were shown of Backlash on 4/27/08, when Matt defeated MVP for the United States Championship.
- In June 2008, Matt was drafted from Smackdown to ECW. Matt went on to earn the title of #1 Contender for the ECW title, after dropping his US title to Shelton Benjamin.
- At Unforgiven 2008 the ECW Championship Scramble match was held with Mark Henry as champ. Every 5 minutes a new superstar was added to the match, until Finlay, The Miz, Chavo Guerrero, Mark Henry, John Morrison and Matt Hardy were all present. The title seemed to change hands several times with Chavo Guerrero and Finlay both making pins, but Matt was able to hit the Twist of Fate on Miz and captured the title. As the match time was winding down, Matt used a defensive strategy making sure to prevent any other pinfalls from happening. As the clock expired, Matt had the last pin and became the new ECW Champion.
ECW returned with highlights of new ECW star, the high-flying Evan Bourne. Bourne's Shooting Star Press won the Slammy for Finishing Maneuver of the Year.
