William Regal, Mauro Ranallo, and Jim Cornette introduced the episode. Jim was beaming as he announced that Ron Simmons had gone to Commissioner Sting to request an NWA Smoky Mountain Tag Team Championship match between "The Revival" and "Soldiers of Savagery" for the program. Regal confirmed that match would happen and also announced Pete Dunne vs. Adam Cole in a special main event. The crew then threw it over to Cathy Kelley for the Legends Division match.
Kelley hyped last week's title match, which saw Edge interfere and cost Kurt Angle a shot at the Legends Championship. After that match, Brock Lesnar "F-5'ed" Billy Gunn of "The KliQ." Gunn has challenged Lesnar to a match, which was accepted. Cathy then introduced the Legends Commentary Team of Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler, and Tony Schiavone.
Match One ~ "The Beast" Brock Lesnar with "Olympic Hero" Kurt Angle vs. Billy Gunn with "Road Dogg" Brian James
This was a merciless beating by Lesnar, who nailed over ten "German Suplexes." The rest of "The KliQ" attempted to come to ringside, but were thwarted by the rest of "The Varsity Club," who met them on the entrance ramp and began a melee. Lesnar finished off Gunn with a thunderous "F-5" and then helped his friends clean house.
Winner = Brock Lesnar by pinfall in 7:08
Match Two ~ NWA Smoky Mountain Tag Team Championship ~ "The Revival" (Dash Wilder & Scott Dawson) with Jim Cornette vs. "Soldiers of Savagery" (Moses Maddox & Jasper Kaun)
The champions really took it to their challengers in the early going. They kept their larger opponents off balance. The referee got taken out inadvertently and that's when the controversy began. Inexplicably, "War Machine" came out and attacked the champions as they were setting up for "Shatter Machine." "WM" hit "Fallout" on Wilder and chunked Dawson into Cornette at ringside. "SoS" sat back and watched the events unfold. Once "War Machine" left the area, Maddox made the cover while Kaun awakened the referee.
Winners and NEW NWA Smoky Mountain Tag Team Champions = "Soldiers of Savagery" by pinfall in 19:36
Match Three ~ Adam Cole with Dr. Britt Baker, DMD vs. "Bruiserweight" Pete Dunne with Joanna Rose

Winner = Adam Cole by pinfall in 16:38
Regal closed the episode by remarking that the playing of "Imperium's" entrance video on the tron provided just the distraction Cole needed to hit the "Panama City Sunrise" and "Last Shot" for the win. Ranallo remarked that it looked like, "Adam Cole is rebuilding his brand, bay bay." Regal gave his normal closing remarks and the program faded to black.
