On the men\'s side of things, The Undertaker chose for Elijah Holyfield, son of boxing icon Evander Holyfield to be cut following his match with Shiloh Hill. Bubba Ray Dudley picked Drake Morreaux to be cut. Bubba shared that the decision was less-so about Drake but more about Drake\'s opponent on the night, Brayden \'BJ\' Ray.

Booker T chose to cut Anthony Luke, boyfriend of Maxxine Dupri, and argued that Luke was trying too hard to be an imitation of The Rock. Mickie James chose for Troy Yearwood to be cut following his match with Chris Island.
For the women, The Undertaker chose Bayley Humphreys to be cut, despite praising her effort and potential. Bubba made the difficult call and eliminated Tatyanna Dumas after her clash with Zena Sterling.
