William Regal, Mauro Ranallo, and Jim Cornette opened the episode with talk of Spring Stampede, which comes up at the end of April every year. The crew then threw it over to Cathy Kelley to introduce the Legends Commentary Team.
Match One ~ "Mixed Tag Team" match ~ Booker T & Sharmell vs. Jeff Jarrett & Karen Jarrett
This was a fun match-up, especially where the ladies were concerned. Neither of them ever were full-time wrestlers, so they did not engage in the sweet science. The men, however, are vastly adept in the ring. In the end, it boiled down to timing. T hit his infamous "Scissor Kick" on Jarrett while all four were in the ring at the same time. The women were legal, and Sharmell took advantage of Karen's distraction to roll her up for the win.
Winners = Booker T & Sharmell by pinfall in 10:07
Match Two ~ Maya Yukihi & Saori Anoue vs. Rok-C & Nikkita Lyons
Maya enlisted the help of her stable mate in Japan's Oz Academy, former NWA: Femme Fatales star Saori Anoue, to try and dispatch of the two most popular members of the Women's Division roster. The ploy worked, as Maya and Saori used every dirty trick in the book to take the win. Lyons got caught with a shot from a wrench Maya found in the ring crew's toolbox underneath the ring apron. That was all she wrote.
Winners = Maya Yukihi & Saoi Anoue by pinfall in 14:28
Before the main event was to commence, "Villain Incorporated" came to the ring for an unscheduled interview. Marty Scurll remarked about how Johnny Gargano's betrayal of NWA: Show Time has gotten under his skin, and that he has resorted to bringing in stars from other territories to battle his group. Scurll said that he's now locked in on Chad Gable, who absconded with the Cruiserweight Championship belt last week, and has since challenged Scurll to a Cruiserweight Title match at Spring Stampede. Scurll said that he will accept, but only if they make it a "No Holds Barred" match. Suddenly, Johnny Gargano came out with Chuck Taylor, Chad Gable, and other masked men onto the entrance ramp. Gable was wearing the Cruiserweight Championship belt. Gable had a microphone and shouted that he would accept the "No Holds Barred' stipulation, but had one of his own: if he wins the match, not only will the title change hands, but that the Cruiserweight Title and Division will leave NWA: Show Time officially and become part of @theindyjunkie 's territory weight class system. After a few moments glaring at his new rival, Scurll accepted the challenge and said that, once he beats Gable, he, Gargano, and company had better leave Show Time once and for all.
Match Three ~ "The Four Horsemen" (Chris Jericho, "Glorious" Bobby Roode, & "Outlaw" James Storm with "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, CM Punk, AJ Lee, and Maryse Ouellet vs. "Doomsday" ("Modern Day Messiah" Seth Rollins, Killer Kross, & Austin Theory with Kevin Steen, "Priest of Punishment" Mikael Judas, and Scarlett)
This match was utter chaos. Both teams are rulebreakers, so neither minded trying underhanded tricks to gain the upper hand. Eventually, the referee threw out all seconds because of the constant outside interference. In the end, Roode took out Rollins and Kross with a dive to the floor. Meanwhile, Jericho hit Theory with the "Codebreaker." Austin then stumbled into Storm's "Last Call" for the pin.
Winners = "The Four Horsemen" by pinfall in 18:43
After the match, Rollins unceremoniously dumped Theory from the group.
