William Regal, Mauro Ranallo, and Jim Cornette opened the episode with much hype and ballyhoo over the title matches that would take place. The Mixed Tag Team and Cruiserweight Tag Team Titles would be defended in the hour. But first, it was Legends Division action. The commentary was thrown over to Hostess Cathey Kelley. Kelley then introduced Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler, and Tony Schiavone.
Match One ~ "New Age Outlaws" ("Road Dogg" Brian James & Billy Gunn) with "Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels vs. "Rated R Superstar" Edge & Christian Cage
Hall and Nash came down to ringside halfway through. They attempted to interfere in the end to swing the tide. This was thwarted by Kurt Angle, who has been embroiled in a feud with Edge, but who was defended by Edge the week before. Angle wielded a steel chair and kept "The KliQ" at bay while Billy Gunn ate a "Spear" and Brian James got caught with "Killswitch."
Winners = Edge & Christian Cage by pinfall in 13:04
The winners rolled out before they could be ambushed. They shook hands with Angle on the ramp.
Match Two ~ NWA: Show Time Cruiserweight Tag Team Championship ~ "Open Challenge" ~ Shawn & Ariya Daivari with "Bollywood Boyz" (Samir & Sunil Singh) vs. ?
Ricochet came out to the entrance ramp and made a challenge. The Daivaris and Singhs laughed. Shawn Daivari said, "Well, I know you can't count Ricochet, but you sort of need someone else with you to make it a team." Ricochet smiled and said, "Yeah, you're right." Then, the music of "Bruiserweight" Pete Dunne hit and they rushed to the ring. In a frenetic match that perfectly exhibited what the Cruiserweight style is all about, the challengers surprised the champions with their cohesion. After a scintillating finishing sequence, Dunne dropped Ariya with his "Bitter End," then tagged Ricochet, who leaped to the top rope and hit Daivari with his "630 Senton Splash" for the win and the titles.
Winners and NEW NWA: Show Time Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions = Ricochet & Pete Dunne by pinfall in 18:22
Match Three ~ NWA: Show Time Mixed Tag Team Championship ~ Jimmy & Trinity Uso vs. "Latin Heart Throb" Angel Garza & Eve Torres
The Usos owned most of this match. The married couple are a well-oiled machine. Garza and his valet Torres are no slouches, but they don't have the ring time their opponents do. Still, it did not matter ultimately. Minoru Suzuki came out and provided a timely distraction that led to the Usos taking their eyes off the ball. This gave Torres the opportunity to roll Trinity up and hold a huge handful of tights (nearly causing a wardrobe malfunction) that kept Trinity from kicking out. Jimmy tried to make the save, but was a split second too late.
Winners and NEW NWA: Show Time Mixed Tag Team Champions = Angel Garza & Eve Torres by pinfall in 15:11
As Regal closed the episode, he promised a huge announcement from company owner Jordan Richards next week.
