OVW United States Champion Tony Evans came out with the new OVW Women’s Champion Lovely Miss Larkan, the new OVW Media Champion Drew Hernandez, and Tommy Boy for a bragging victory celebration after all of the wins they had on OVW 1400 last week. Evans said he was proud of Tommy Boy for making the right decision and staying with their faction instead of rejoining his father Jay DeNiro last week. Tommy Boy then turned his attention to Hernandez. He pointed at the OVW Media Title belt and wanted a title shot. Larkan got between them to try to calm them down but Hernandez shoved her down and grabbed Tommy Boy by the shirt. Evans sternly got in Hernandez’s face as Tommy Boy helped Larkan off the mat. Jey DeNiro then came out to the stage. He gloated about Evans losing control of the “family”. Tommy Boy got on the mic and said Evans is still a better father than DeNiro and DeNiro’s wife (aka Tommy Boy’s step mother). DeNiro suggested having a match against Tommy Boy. Evans said the only way that match can happen is if DeNiro puts the OVW Heavyweight Title on the line in rules that The Evans Family gets to pick.
