Former Beautiful People partners, Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky, face off tonight in a huge grudge match. Which Knockout will come out on top? We weigh in…
Cryssi: I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; this match, for all intents and purposes, should be a title match! Unfortunately, it’s not. Womp womp. I will say that I love the fact Madison versus Velvet is going to come to a head on pay-per-view. These two deserve to have a huge payoff match because they’ve both worked their asses off to make their feud come alive. Velvet is nothing but gold on the mic and in her acting segments, and because of her high level, Madison has had to pick it up. She’s done just that. The break-up of this version of the Beautiful People was really well done and I hope neither woman holds anything back come Sunday. I want to see weaves ripped out. I want to see clothes ripped off (granted they actually wear them). I want Madison and Velvet to put on one hell of a show and prove to everyone that they don’t need Tara and Angelina to carry them. My prediction to win is Velvet Sky. She needs a massive singles victory to elevate her as a competitor tonight she gets just that.
David: Tonight at No Surrender, TNA presents a show with extreme stipulations and championship matches. Oh, and don’t forget, there will also be a special ‘grudge match’ between Madison Rayne and her former BP buddy Velvet Sky. A ‘grudge match’, huh? Sounds great. I’m pretty sure that’s Latin for ‘nothing important will happen tonight’. Madison wants to get her hands on Velvet so she can eventually get her hands on Angelina’s title. Tara came back to help her even the odds against the BP. (OH, so Tara WAS the mystery biker?!) Not a bad subplot except I thought Tara lost her career a few months ago. Oh well. I think Velvet wins Sunday night, but the real action is when the Knockouts Title is eventually on the line, or when we get a tag team ‘grudge match’ that shows if Tara’s allegiance is for real.
Jennifer: Although I should’ve seen this coming, the announcement of this grudge match on last Thursday’s Impact caught me off guard. The buildup has been good and considering we just saw the other obvious option for a match (the original Beautiful People vs. Madison & Tara), I’m glad at least one women’s match is on the PPV. My money’s on Velvet due to her and Angelina losing last Thursday, plus I think people are ready to see Madison get her ass handed to her by her other former partner.

Hardcore history: Making her ECW debut in 1995, Beulah was introduced a major catalyst in a feud between Tommy Dreamer and Raven. The two feuded over Beulah and there were many twists and turns including a fake pregnancy. After siding with Dreamer, Beulah was then revealed to have had an affair — with a woman! Perhaps her biggest highlight is a bloody brawl with Bill Alfonso. Beulah re-emerged in the WWE incarnation of ECW, catfighting with old rival Francine at One Night Stand in 2005 and then competing in a six-person tag match involving Lita in 2006.
