VH1 GREENLIGHTS "HIT THE FLOOR" SUMMER SPECIAL

Fans Will Celebrate at the Long Awaited Union of Ahsha & Derek

Revelations on #WhoShotJelena? Will Unfold

Santa Monica, CA (April 1, 2016) - Fans won't have to wait long for the payoff to "Hit The Floor's" jaw-dropping season three finale, VH1 announced today a special one hour episode premiering this Summer. The special will deliver all the excitement, drama and passion that Ahsha & Derek are beloved for and will also explore the huge finale cliffhanger: Who shot Jelena?

The season three finale surprised fans in classic "Hit The Floor" fashion with a touching, center-court proposal from Derek Roman to Ahsha Hayes in the middle of a Devil Girl's dance routine in Devils Arena. She said YES! Now it's time for the planning to begin. Viewers will see the preparation, challenges and, of course, dancing that only a "Hit The Floor" wedding could deliver.

Just when we thought love reigned on "Hit The Floor," Jelena pulled the 'dance floor' from under us and got control of the Los Angeles Devils. That didn't go over well with everyone in the arena. In the concluding, heart-pounding moments of the finale, Jelena was shot - and there is no shortage of suspects.

Zero and Jude are also left with a life-changing decision that will alter their relationship forever. Viewers will see it all play out in this sizzling Summer special.
