William Regal, Mauro Ranallo, and Jim Cornette opened the program and hyped that the Cruiserweights would be featured prominently on the episode. Before they could get any further, the resident power couple of Adam Cole and Britt Baker appeared. They talked about how order was restored last week when Britt regained the Women's Championship from Rok-C. Then, they talked about the dominant era they were ushering in. Suddenly, the lights went out. When they came back up, Aleister Black and Alexa Bliss were on the entrance ramp. They once again challenged for their opponents' titles.
Commissioner Sting came out and made a huge match for NWA SuperBrawl. It'll be a double title match. In an "Intergender Tag Team" affair, Cole and Baker will defend their championships against Black and Bliss. The stipulation is that, whichever challenger wins the match (should they win) wins that particular title. The champions were incensed.
The episode shifted gears for the Cruiserweight focus.
Match One ~ "Bruiserweight" Pete Dunne with Joanna Rose vs. Zack Sabre, Jr. with Sophie Powers
This was a submission style clinic. Dunne took it to Sabre for much of the match, but Zack held his own way. Eventually though, Sophie got involved enough to distract Dunne and allow Sabre to catch Pete in his vaunted "Heel Hook." Dunne tried to get out of the hold, but he could not. Eventually, he had to tap out.
Winner = Zack Sabre, Jr. by submission in 21:19
After the break, the entirety of "Villain Incorporated" was in the ring. Marty Scurll was talking about the group taking over the company, then taking over the world. Tyler Bate got on the microphone and declared that he and Trent Seven would take on anyone in the locker room for the Cruiserweight Tag Team Championship right then and there. Suddenly, Johnny Gargano's music hit to bring out he and wife Candice LeRae. Bate and Seven scoffed, stating that it must be a joke that Johnny and his wife want a shot at the titles. Johnny retorted, "Oh, Candice isn't here to fight tonight. But, my best friend is."
Then, Chuck Taylor joined them on the entrance ramp. The referee came to the ring and the match was on.
Match Two ~ NWA: Show Time Cruiserweight Championship ~ "Moustache Mountain" (Tyler Bate & Trent Seven) with Sophie Powers, "The Villain" Marty Scurll, "The Man Gravity Forgot" Adrian Neville, and Zack Sabre, Jr. vs. Johnny "Wrestling" Gargano & Chuck Taylor with "Poison Pixie" Candice LeRae
This was a chaotic match with all the elements at ringside. Both teams went back and forth. In the midst of a melee near the finish, Candice jumped off the apron, taking out Sabre and Scurll. Taylor then did the same and took out Neville and Seven. Meanwhile, Gargano used a loaded glove to knock out Bate, then he locked on "GargaNO Escape." The referee stopped the match when Bate was unresponsive.
Winners and NEW NWA: Show Time Cruiserweight Tag team Champions = Johnny Gargano & Chuck Taylor by referee stoppage in 26:43
