The show opens with Jon Moxley the leader of TOXIC standing in the ring with Bobby Fish and Sami Callihan, Moxley has a mic. He lets NWA President know that he's not happy with the way that Fish was treated. He's putting the president and the NWA on notice that if Fish is treated like that again, hell will be paid!
SINGLES MATCH
"The Sweetest Thing in the Ring" Caleb Konley vs. Mistico
"The Sweetest Thing in the Ring" Caleb Konley vs. Mistico
This opening contest was fast paced with a few botches due to the fast pace. The exchanges were pretty even but Konley would take short cuts such as whipping Mistico to the mat by grabbing the knot on the back of his mask. Caleb would really push the limits in this match, getting the ref annoyed, but not to the level of getting DQ'd. Mistico should have come away with the win in this match, rolling Konley up. Caleb would pull off his elbow pad throwing it behind the ref, before kicking out. The ref would turn his attention to tossing the pad out of the ring and Konley would use the time to low blow Mistico following up with the sweetest submission you've ever seen to force Mistico to submit.
TAG TEAM MATCH
The Bricoes vs. The Rockstars of Wrestling(Jimmy Rave & John Morrison) w/ Lena Yada
The Bricoes vs. The Rockstars of Wrestling(Jimmy Rave & John Morrison) w/ Lena Yada
This had to be a nightmare for the Briscoes, Lena Yada has brought the Rockstars back into the Alliance, just with a new face. The chicken farmers from Sandy Fork, Delaware brought the fight to the Rockstars before they even had a chance to get in the ring. These two teams would beat the hell out of each other with the ref trying to bring some order into this situation. The teams eventually worked their way into the ring where the match officially got underway. Lena Yada was pretty excited about this match getting on the apron a couple times causing distractions for her team. The Rockstars came out on top when Morrison landed Starship pain on Mark Briscoe to score the win.
SINGLES MATCH
Jeff Hardy vs. Bobby Fish w/ Jon Moxley and Sami Callihan

These two men had the potential to put on a great match but TOXIC was around the ring, making sure that NWA President Dustin Smith understands who's in control. Jeff Hardy will sacrifice everything to get a win and eventually the constant interference by the hyenas at ringside got to him. Hardy would dive out of the ring onto Callihan and Moxley fighting both men by himself! Hardy would swing wildly but would get hit from behind by Fish. I don't think Hardy had a chance in this one but you had to admire his resolve. Bobby Fish would take Hardy back into the ring hitting his leaping roundhouse kick to put his opponent away.
After the match Callihan and Moxley would strike like lightning! It was a three on one beatdown on Hardy with Moxley pulling up his pant leg to expose his knee for the boma ye! TOXIC would stand tall in the ring sending a message.
SINGLES MATCH
Brian Kendrick vs. Eddie Edwards

Now this was the match that stole the show imo, these two guys left it all in the ring. The fact that there isn't any promotional titles makes the NWA Empire wrestlers have to fight that much harder. Kendrick was super aggressive hitting Sliced Bread pretty early in the bout with Edwards kicking out. Kendrick would continue to unload his arsenal on Edwards who refused to lose, even coming back with explosive moves of his own leaving both men gassed in the middle of the ring trying to dig down deep. This match was the longest of the night getting a large chunk of time dedicated to deciding a winner. Edwards would score with the Die Hard brainbuster but Kendrick would somehow kick out getting the crowd chanting "This is Wrestling!" Kendrick would will himself back into this slamming his fists on the canvas before scoring with a pair of leg lariats, trying to nail Edwards with a running tornado DDT but Edwards would counter with a northern lights suplex for a near fall! Edwards tried for a discus lariat but Kendrick would duck the swing and hit a standing variation of Sliced Bread on Edwards getting a huge pop from the crowd! Kendrick would climb to the top exhausted but was still able to pull off the shooting star press to finally pull out the victory.
SINGLES MATCH
Big Show vs. Abyss
Big Show vs. Abyss
We go from exciting junior weight action to behemothes raging war in the ring. The combined weight of nearly 800lbs! The ring looked to feel the most pain in this match but that doesn't mean that these two men didn't put a hell of a beating on each other. The punches exchanged by these men sounded like gun shots going off in the ring. The slams executed in this match made the ring shake, with both men stunned by being taken off their feet so much. Abyss hit the black hole slam but Big Show was able to kick out coming back with a huge knock out punch but Abyss was able to kick out as well. The two bulls in the ring continued to try to do whatever they could to put the other down for a three count and in an amazing show of strength Big Show would hoist up and drive Abyss to the mat with a chokeslam!
NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH
John Cena vs. Kyle Matthews(c) w/ The Prophecy
John Cena vs. Kyle Matthews(c) w/ The Prophecy
This was an amazing opportunity for Cena to get a title shot, but Matthews is still riding a high of turning away Brock Lesnar and Alberto del Rio. The match had big match atmosphere, and Cena has an incredible ability to connect with the crowd. Matthews tried to work over the arm of Cena but he kept getting over powered, but Matthews kept with his plan. The prophecy looked to get involved but then...
Brock Lesnar would rush to the ring fighting through the Prophecy, making a B-Line for Kyle Matthews who's jaw was dropped. Lesnar was defeated at redemption, barring him from getting a title shot as long as Matthews is the champion. But that doesn't mean that Lesnar can't get a measure of revenge as he stormed the ring, Cena was fuming getting into the face of Lesnar. This was a huge opportunity for Cena that just got ruined by Lesnar! Before these two guys came to blows the Prophecy was back in the ring attacking both men. Cena and Lesnar would try to fight the Prophecy off but Matthews would blast Lesnar in the back of the head with the NWA World title! This left Cena to fight alone and he was quickly overwhelmed as the show faded to black with Kyle Matthews holding up the NWA World title!
