Show Opening - President Patron's Office

• Cold Opening on Alberto El Patron sitting at his desk with the Apex Championship belt spread out for the viewers to see.
• Alberto was pleased to announce that his benefactor agreed that nobody set the world on fire last week, not even Dave Bautista. Patron would be both Apex Champion and President of Apex Warfare.
• Patron stopped gloating mid-sentence. Camera rotated to Steve Austin standing in front of him.
• The Texas Rattlesnake politely asked if he could take a seat. Before Patron replied, Austin sat down and propped his feet on Alberto's desk. His boot pushed the belt onto the floor. El Presidente quickly picked his title off of the ground and brushed it off.
• Flustered, President Patron asked him what he wanted. Stone Cold demanded the two of them to scrap for the Apex Championship, that it was completely useless while Patron held it. There wasn't any sense in signing Steve Austin to AW if he couldn't fight for the top prize.
• Patron thought it over and told him he wasn't medically cleared to compete in any capacity. Warfare was for the hardcore enthusiasts, and one good shot to the head could disable Austin for life, or worse.
• The Bionic Redneck assured him that if he didn't fight, he would make his life a living hell.
• Alberto folded and told him he'll get a chance if he competed in tonight's Main Event, against Shinsuke Nakamura. He must win, however.
  

Molly Holly vs. Megumi Kudo

• After the match, The Extreme Queen demanded her Japanese translator to come out again.
• She was displeased that Apex Warfare put her in a standard match after being retired for 20 years. She made her name by walking a path of blood. If AW was about violence, than The War Room needed real Hell on Earth.
• Megumi singled out Sasha Banks, telling her that if she wanted vengeance, then to meet her next week in a Barbed Wire Ring Match.
• From the Titantron The Boss appeared. "Shut up, Meg," she answered, and accepted the stipulation.
  

La Resistance vs. The Wyatt Kindred

• Before the fight began, Bray spoke to the audience and told them The Pulpit's way was not the right way, and that they were heretics. All would stand before The Wyatt Kindred, including France.
• Sylvan Grenier and Rob Conway represented The Resistance with Samuel Shaw and Matanza representing Wyatt.
• Ended in a disqualification when Bray Wyatt handed Shaw his lantern to use as a weapon.
• La Resistance were viciously assaulted until The East Coast Pulpit ran in.
• Reverend D-Von took back his clerical collar, but instructed The Truth to steal Wyatt's lantern for penance.
  

Backstage Interview Segment - Dave Bautista

• Melina attempted to get a word from Bautista, but he refused, walking off.
• He came face to face with Alberto El Patron in a hallway.
• The President told him that he almost handed the belt to him on the spot, but hesitated. Dave Bautista was somebody he wanted to make happy, but he also wanted to make the rabid fans as well as his benefactor happy, too.
• Patron gave him an ultimatum: Cost Steve Austin his match with Nakamura. Render The Rattlesnake immobile. Then he would consider Bautista worthy for Apex contendership.

Intermission - Doink The Clown vs. Sheamus

• With the clown alone in the ring, The Drifter appeared again, this time playing "Ain't That A Kick In The Head" by Dean Martin.

• Austin came out swaggering and eyeballing the musicians before turning his attention towards his opponent.
• Referee Scott Hall signaled for the match to begin.
• As they circled one another, commentator William Regal reminded viewers of Austin's bad kneck, and how Shinsuke's stiff fighting style makes Austin's return to the ring all the more risky.
• The King of Strong Style backed the Texan into the ropes, and rested his head on Austin's chest. Stone Cold looked at him and the referee in utter disbelief. Nakamura backed away and grinned. Fans cheered them on.
• As Nakamura beckoned Austin to take him on, The Rattlesnake aggressively went on the offense, clubbing Shinsuke across the back and into a ring post corner. Austin gave him the bird and backed away. Nakamura stared wide-eyed. The crowd started to chant both men on.
• Austin grappled and then slammed Nakamura into the mat with a Spinebuster. He made the cover but barely got 2.
• Crowds turned their attention on Bautista, who stood on the entrance ramp.
• Still lying on the mat, Nakamura applied a Cross Armbar on Austin.

• Having made up his mind, Bautista searched underneath the ring. He produced a steel chair.
• A Lariat sent Austin over the top rope and he spilled out to the outside near The Animal.
• Bautista readied himself.
• Nakamura saw the chair and stayed inside.
• Austin looked up at Bautista, telling him not to do it.
• Bautista smiled, and propped the chair up. He sat at ringside and cheered Austin on.
• Crowd became unglued at the sight of Bautista's defiance to Alberto El Patron and his benefactor.
• Stone Cold slid back into the ring where Nakamura waited for him. Both men exchanged heavy blows, but Austin got the upperhand.
• A Stunner put Nakamura down. Mark Henry rushed down the runway and clubbed Bautista in the back of the head, making him fall out of his seat.
• Austin pinned Nakamura...and got the 3!
• Mark Henry stomped Stone Cold bloody. He scooped him up and delivered The World's Strongest Slam as Nakamura limped out of further harm's way.

Final Minutes - Austin/Patron Confrontation

• The President congratulated Austin on his win in the same tone he did for Bautista last week.
• He told him that yes, he did say he would give him a chance if he competed and won. But he never told him when he will get the opportunity for the gold. It could be tomorrow, the next day, next month, or even next year. Crowd erupted in "Pendejo" jeers.
• As for Bautista, that chance will never come as long as he held the Apex title.
• "Bullshit" chants. Alberto heard them, and grimaced.
• He reconsidered. Next week they will have a tag team match. Bautista & Austin vs. Patron & his new talent acquisition, who earned a spot on the active roster, Mark Henry. If Austin can get through the night successfully, the title would be on the line the following week.
• There was one catch, however - Patron put a bounty on Austin's head worth $5,000.
• Patron also decided to make the tag match No Disqualification, meaning anybody can interfere, put Stone Cold out of his misery, and get the money.
• Show ended on Bautista looking at Patron in disbelief, and a bloodied Austin muttering obscenities.

Show Opening - Apex Warfare Parking Lot

• President Patron and Security stood quietly outside the parking lot as a purple limousine pulled up.
• The driver opened the door and respectfully composed himself. Patron offered out a hand, and Vice President Paige took it.
• He tried making small talk, asking about her flight. The two kissed, but The Anti-Diva pointed out that she was there on very important international business dealing with the matches tonight.
• She repeated what their benefactor had told her. Due to the complex nature of the women's Barbed Wire Ring Match and how it can effect the company's stock overseas, it was important enough to be slotted as tonight's Main Event.
• Dismayed, Alberto El Patron insisted that he be given the Main Event. That doing so would not only give bounty hunters ample time to cripple Austin, but also line up perfectly in regards to their desires as well as ratings.
• The VP urged him to figure out a way for all parties to capitalize tonight, or they may be looking at a short career at AW.
• Defeated, Alberto El Patron spoke to one of his Security guards. "Better make it $10,000."
  

Grado vs. Diamond Dallas Page

The Truth vs. Samuel Shaw

• In a peculiar twist, The Wyatt Kindred did not accompany Shaw to his match.

• When they came back on, Samuel Shaw had disappeared. The referee started to count him out.

He parked it in a way that blocked the entrance from anybody coming in, with the trailer preventing entry from the curtains. Steve stepped out with a trucker hat on. Alberto El Patron stood in disbelief as Bautista laughed.
• Referee Zack Ryder officiated.
• Mark Henry and Bautista started first. Test of strength left The Animal on the receiving end of a scoop slam.
• Dave rolled away, but not before Henry grabbed his leg. He dragged him to Patron's side of the ring and made the tag. Together, they stomped a mudhole in Bautista, mocking Austin.
• Since there was no way to be disqualified, El Presidente and The World's Strongest Man continued to bludgeon Dave until he was covered in blood. This drew out the ire of Austin, who dashed to his partner's aid.
• He was stopped and dropped by a Rough Ryder from the referee. The live audience booed mercilessly, seeing that the fix was in.
• Alberto El Patron pinned Steve Austin. Zack Ryder counted quickly, but still only got to 2.

• First Question: "Referee Zack Ryder attacked an AW employee, was he following orders and if not, what should we expect from that abuse of power?"

• Second Question: "Megumi Kudo gave the audience probably the best match seen in The War Room yet. What should we expect from investors who were interested in her bout, and a follow up - Kudo seems to want to face Paige next. Any thoughts or rumors you would like to lay to bed?"
• Answer: "My fiance, The Vice President, handles her own business. I can't give away what investors are planning, but I can assure you it will be big and will be great news for my benefactor and I. If you'd like to discuss Megumi Kudo, I would ask the VP."
