In the SEX locker room, Glen Gilberti was giving everyone a pep talk for their matches tonight, before heading to the ring for his own bout, a streetfight with AJ Styles. Glen had one of the Harris brothers hit him over and over to psyche himself up for the match.
AJ Styles defeated Glen Gilberti in a streetfight match in 7:50. Both men wore jeans and T-shirts to the ring, and started brawling at the bell. It spilled into the crowd, with Styles being rammed into the SEX locker room door, and Mike Sanders interfered briefly. They continued fighting through the crowd, and Gilberti went for a powerbomb on the floor, but AJ reversed it into a rana. Sanders interfered again, briefly. Styles was busted open. Styles sent Disco back over the rail to the ringside area, and then dove over the rail onto him. Back in the ring, Styles missed a chairshot. Disco tried for a stunner, but Styles pushed off and hit a spinkick. Disco went for a slingshot into a chair wedged in the corner, but Styles blocked it, then rammed Gilberti headfirst into the chair. Styles hit Gilberti with a chairshot to the back. Styles went for another chairshot, but Gilberti blocked it and hit a stunner, driving Styles down into the chair he was holding, for the pin.
Goldylocks went outside to interview Dusty Rhodes. Rhodes said he had something to say to Jeff Jarrett, man to man. Erik Watts arrived, wearing a "Jeff, you're dead" shirt. Rhodes made fun of Watts, saying he needed to "learn his trade". Rhodes even delivered Bret Hart's old line about being "the best there was, best there is, and best there ever will be". Watts threw his bag at Rhodes' head, knocking him down. Watts opened the bag and pulled out the NWA title belt that David Flair had been carrying around.
Kid Kash and Trinity came to the ring. Kash took the mic and apologized for his recent attitude towards Trinity, and that he wanted them to be the duo that they could be. Kash kissed her, and Trinity smiled. Mike Sanders came to the ring and got in Trinity's face, and Kash hit Sanders to start their match.
Kid Kash defeated Mike Sanders to retain the X-Division Championship in eight minutes. Towards the end, Trinity got involved, spinkicking and moonsaulting Sanders. Kash got caught on a springboard, and Sanders powerbombed him for a two count. Kash came back with a springboard somersault dropkick to Sanders, who was slumped against the ropes on the other side of the ring. Kash got the pin, even though Sanders had a foot on the ropes. The Harris Brothers ran in, but Kash took off, leaving Trinity to the wolves, as the Harris Brothers gave her the H Bomb.
Goldylocks interviewed the New Church and Jim Mitchell, who blamed Perry Saturn for what they did to New Jack, Sandman and Saturn last week. Mitchell said he had a surprise for Saturn this week.
Perry Saturn came to the ring for his match. Saturn called out Mitchell's surprise. Mike Awesome came out with Jim Mitchell to be Saturn's opponent.
Mike Awesome vs. Perry Saturn went to a no-contest (no decision was announced) in 7:52. Towards the end, Saturn slipped out of an Awesome Bomb attempt and hit a superkick. Saturn went for a powerbomb, but Awesome blocked it and hit a spinebuster. Awesome hit a top rope splash for a two count. Awesome was going to powerbomb Saturn from the ring through a table, but Sandman and New Jack ran in, followed by Brian Lee and Slash. The New Church stared down Saturn, Jack and Sandman.
Jeff Jarrett arrived with a truckload of weapons, yelling for the ring crew to come help him with them.
They aired a sit-down interview Mike Tenay conducted with America's Most Wanted. Chris Harris said that wrestling singles matches would not break up their team. Harris again played it that hanging out with SEX was not a big deal, and that it had nothing to do with what happens in the ring. Storm was visibly annoyed by that.
Goldylocks interviewed David Young, but before Young could talk about his turning on Athena, Sonny Siaki interrupted. Siaki said what happened between Young and Athena was none of her business. Goldy said Siaki was supposed to wrestle James Storm tonight, but Siaki started coming up with excuses. Young started to give a promo, but Siaki stopped him, saying he sounded like a hillbilly.
David Young defeated James Storm in six minutes with help from Sonny Siaki and Desire. At the end, Desire hit Storm with a low blow while Siaki distracted the referee, and Young hit the spinebuster for the win. Siaki was funny here, telling the referee that a fan had actually dragged him from the ring.
The history leading to the New Church vs. New Jack & Sandman match was shown. We then were treated to a hilarious promo where New Jack and Sandman were drinking beer and playing chess. No kidding, they were playing chess. Sandman said he and New Jack were Extreme brothers, and there were no problems between them, despite their disagreement last week. New Jack said he doesn't care about wins, and that if he ever gets a belt, he will take it to a pawn shop and sell it. Sandman told New Jack he was in check (in the game) and Jack said his "check bounced". They argued briefly over the game, before Sandman bashed his beer can on his head, and said it would be one "hell of a night".
The New Church (Brian Lee & Slash), with James Mitchell, defeated The Sandman & New Jack in 6:21. ECW style brawl, with Jack again running into the ring, while Sandman was still doing his beer drinking entrance. Towards the end, New Jack hit Slash with a chairshot from the top, but Mike Awesome ran in and powerbombed New Jack over the top rope through a table on the floor. Awesome rolled New Jack back in, and Slash got the pin on him. The lights then went out, and when they came back on, Justin Credible was in the ring. Credible caned Slash, Lee and Awesome. Credible, Saturn, New Jack and Sandman then stood in the ring, while some fans chanted "ECW".
Backstage, Jeff Jarrett was telling the road crew what he wanted them to do with his weapons. Erik Watts came up behind Jarrett, but Jarrett threw a trash can at him and chased him off.
Jerry Lynn & Amazing Red defeated Elix Skipper & Christopher Daniels to win the NWA World Tag Team Championship in 14:20. As you would expect, a very athletic match with a ton of spots, too many to mention. Towards the end, the Mystery Luchador ran in and shoved Red off the top rope to the floor, then DDT'd him on the ramp. Daniels rolled up Lynn for a two count, then hit the Angel's Wings for another two. Skipper and Daniels delivered a top rope elbow/backbreaker combo for another two on Lynn. Daniels went to the top rope, but Lynn catapulted Skipper into the corner, knocking Daniels to the floor, and Lynn rolled up Skipper for the pin and the title.
Skipper & Daniels attacked Red & Lynn after the match, but Jeff Jarrett ran in and hit Daniels and Skipper with a trash can lid. Jarrett then called out Raven, saying he wanted a House of Clockwork Orange match right now. Jarrett went to the SEX locker room and tried to kick in the door. Jarrett ended up fighting Alexis Laree and Julio Dinero in the crowd, while the ring crew hung up weapons around the ring for the House of Clockwork Orange match. They made it to the ring, with Dinero and Laree beating down Jarrett with weapons. Jarrett ended up powerbombing Laree on top of Dinero and blasting them with a trash can and kendo stick as he mounted a comeback. Jarrett tossed Alexis and Julio into steel fencing that was in the ring as part of the House of Clockwork Orange. Jarrett went to put Alexis and Dinero through a table, but Raven ran out and hit Jarrett with a trashcan lid. Raven then superplexed Jarrett through the table, with Dinero and Laree still on it. Dinero got on top of Jarrett and scored the pin, so Dinero & Laree defeated Jarrett to end the impromptu match at 6:17. Raven stood over Jarrett, and gave him an evenflow DDT to end the show.
