Both men start backwards and forwards with Phoenix havingthe advantage.

Baker manages to make the tag as Christiansen comes in, laying a few punches to Phoenix, very fast work from Christiansen as he seems to be back on form, suplexes and hurricaranas with a few drop kicks here and there. Phoenix goes for the tag, but Garth Black refuses to tag him in. Phoenix looks very annoyed by this and out of nowhere manages to give Christiansen a running heel kick. He goes for the cover, Kyle kicks out after 1. Christiansen goes and tags James Baker back in. Baker comes in and gives Phoenix Da Xtreme Knockout, this if followed up by the All eyez on me, which Baker misses as Phoenix rolls out of the way.

All American Challenge: U.S.A. v. Mighty NorCal


"Bullet With Butterfly Wings" - Smashing Pumpkins hits and Mighty Norcal comes out to a chant of USA! USA! USA! Wearing a special Stars and Stripes hoody, Norcal enters the ring with an intense look, ready to fight in the name of his country. "The Rocky/Hendrix Medley" hits, and Ulysses S. Adams comes out to another chant of USA! USA! USA! This time, we are unsure of whether the fans are cheering for the United States or for Adams. Either way, the crowd is hyped up for this match.

The match begins with a lock up, USA gaining the advantage with a headlock. Whip into the ropes by USA, and he executes a swinging neckbreaker. Norcal regains his composure and hits numerous right hands on the newcomer, as well as a Lou Thesz Press and a gutwrench suplex. Norcal goes for a quick cover...1....2....kickout.

Norcal whips USA, USA reverses, then hits a Samoan Drop and applies some pressure with a half-Boston crab. Norcal struggles, but eventually he manages to get to the ropes. USA picks up NorCal and ties him into a side headlock. Out of nowhere, Norcal breaks the hold and applies "The Trinity" to USA! USA seems to struggle and is trying to break free, and he eventually slams NorCal into the corner, breaking the hold.

Steamboat Ricky v Eric Derf

"My Curse" - Killswitch Engage hits and Derf comes out...perhaps for the last time as if he does not win the match, then he will be fired from WZCW. Ricky's music hits and out comes the man from Tortuga to a very receptive roar. He makes sure to stop and give a couple non-alcoholic grogs to some kids in the front row.

Ricky gains an advantage from the get-go, hitting a variety of offensive maneuvers, including a belly to belly suplex, Lou Thesz press, and a back elbow. However, Derf seems irritated by this offensive display by Ricky, and all of a sudden, with an intense burst of rage, Derf delivers several punishing right hands to Ricky. Ricky then regains his composure, hitting Derf with some rights of his own, an atomic drop, and a spinebuster. He then goes to the top rope and shouts "Man Over Board!" whilst performing a diving elbow. Derf sneakily moves out of the way, and then hits a stunned Ricky with a "Derrific DDT." Derf sees an opportunity to further wear down Ricky, applying a crossface in the middle of the ring. Seeming as if he would be unable to reach the ropes, Ricky somehow manages to get to his feet with Derf on his back still applying the crossface, turns Derf around, hits the Deckswabber, and goes for the pin...1...2....3.

Ricky picks up the win, and it seems that Derf is fired. As Ricky celebrates up the rampway, Red Mask comes running down holding a steel chair in his right hand. He takes the chair and destroys an already beaten Derf. Leaving Derf in a pool of blood, Red Mask quickly returns to the back.

“Down Under” hits the sound system as Daniel Stokes Makes his way out to the ring and is followed by Fake By Shinedown as Anthony Michaels makes his way out to a rather mixed reaction, probably getting cheered for the first time since goodness knows when.

"Ladies and Gentlemen" hits and out stumbles Drake Callahan to a warm cheer for this non-title bout.
