In a backstage segment, Pretty Deadly (Elton Prince & Kit Wilson) made fun of him for losing and having no friends. Butch immediately attacked before the fight was broken up by officials.

WWE SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis said if Butch wants to face Pretty Deadly, he can find himself a tag team partner and face them on the January 5 episode of WWE SmackDown New Year's Revolution.

Butch was previously teaming with Ridge Holland, but Ridge abandoned the team and went back to NXT.
