One on One Match
Mike Knox
-v-
Santino Carelli

This match was more used as a tune up for Knox, who has looked impressive since his alignment with The Miz and his debut in CPW. While Santino was no slouch, he was no match for the larger, meaner Knox.
RESULTMike Knox pinned Santino Carelli with the Whip It in 03:47. After the Match, The Miz took the mic and told AJ Styles that he would be defending the championship... next in a Random Draw match. The Miz drew Caprice Coleman as the opponent for Styles. The Miz took to the commentary table as Mike Knox stood at ringside for the following match.

"Random Draw" CPW Television Championship Match
AJ Styles (c)
-v-
Random Opponent

Caprice Coleman came out, somewhat surprised that he was picked from the pool of others in the promotion. AJ dominated a good portion of the match, but kept looking over his shoulder, not so much fearful of the attack, but almost expecting it. Coleman was able to mount a bit of offence and nearly scored an upset, but AJ battled back and hit the Styles Clash for the three count.
RESULT : AJ Styles pinned Caprice Coleman with the Styles Clash in 04:39 to retain the CPW Television Title. As Styles made the pin, he pointed at the Miz, how had gotten up from his seat to taunt AJ. As The Miz verbally laid into AJ, Knox entered the ring, and as AJ turned around he walked into a HUGE boot from Knox, laying out the champ! The Miz got into the ring and told AJ that while he got the best of them last time, Tonight.. Tonight AJ got his! The Miz told

AJ that sooner or later, he would get his rematch, and on that night, he would show the world why he is..... AAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tag Team Match
Paul Burchill & Chris Jericho
-v-
The Show Stoppers
(Cliff Compton and Colt Cabana)

This match went back and forth with both team scoring near falls. The Show Stoppers nearly pinned Jericho but Paul made the save. As the match went on Paul and Chis worked more as a team, but was it out of necessity, or was a team being built? In the end, Paul tripped Colt, who walked into a Code Breaker from Jericho! Chris made the pin out of instinct. As the ref raised his arm, Paul was seen smirking from ringside, while Chris wasn't too happy that once again, Paul 'tricked' him into getting the win for this 'team'.
RESULT : Chris Jericho and Paul Burchill defeated The Show Stoppers when Chris Jericho pinned Colt Cabana with the Code breaker in 10:36.

One on One Match
Caprice Coleman
-v-
Joe Hennig

Coleman was still banged up from his match earlier, and Joe was ruthless. Joe toyed with Caprice a bit before putting him away with the Hennig-Plex.
RESULT : Joe Hennig pinned Caprice Coleman with the Hennig-Plex in 06:22.

One on One Match
Money Inc.
(Ted DiBiase and Robert Roode)
-v-
Rhino & Mr. Anderson

This match was a bit longer than most fans have given Anderson and Rhino. It went back and forth, with both teams coming close to scoring a win. In the end, Anderson refused to let go a a choke hold on Roode, and thus drew the DQ loss.

The loss didn't stop Rhino from drilling DiBiase with a Gore sending him to the arena floor. Anderson and Rhino said they weren't given a chance against the 'Future Tag Team Champions of the NWA!" They said they were TAKING their place in CPW and the NWA! Rhino said that they can lose every match they are in, but in the end, it will be them standing taller than their opponents!
RESULT : Money Inc. defeated Rhino and Mr. Anderson when Robert Roode defeated Anderson by disqualification in 21:26.

Champions -VS- Champions
The Worlds Greatest Tag Team
(Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin)
CPW Tag Team Champions
-v-
The Faces of Fear
(Mark Henry and Samoa Joe)
NWA North American Tag Team Champions

The CPW Champs were not as strong as the NA Champions, and it showed. Haas and Benjamin used their speed to try and keep the North American Champs off balance. It worked for a bit, until Henry made the blind tag as hammered Haas with a nasty clothesline that he never really recovered from. Haas was able to make the tag, but Joe was able to neutralize Shelton with blistering shops and submission holds that wore him down. In the end, the Faces of Fear grew tired and Joe blasted Shelton with the title belt, busting him open!

RESULT : The Worlds Greatest Tag Team defeated The Faces of Fear when Shelton Benjamin defeated Samoa Joe by disqualification in 13:40 when Joe hit Shelton with a Tag Team Title belt. After the match, Joe took the mic and said that the NWA hasn't taken them seriously. They are NOW putting the NWA on notice! Come the Great American Bash, they want the, baddest team in the NWA! Prime Time Players? Uso's? Outsiders? Henry said it didn't matter who stepped into the ring, as they would be joining the Hall of Pain! Henry then hit the World Strongest Slam on Haas, as proof that they were serious.

Match 2
Best of Five for Vacant CPW Championship
Rob Van Dam
-v-
Cody Rhodes

Cody tried every trick in the book to try and get an advantage over RVD in this match. Trevor saved his partner a few times, but in the long run, Trevor was ejected from ringside. RVD took control at that point as looked to be on his way to evening out the series until Cody managed to crotch RVD on the top turnbuckle! Cody hit a sick superplex and then hit the Cross Rhodes as added insurance to take a commanding 2- nothing lead!
RESULT : Cody Rhodes pinned Rob Van Dam with the Cross Rhodes in 13:02 to take a 2-0 lead in this series!

Good show, a whitewash for Cody would be fantastic!

[Deleted]

I really liked the Rhino and Anderson angle here, as it's nice to see them getting something. The show overall was good, as always. RVD needs to pick it up, but Rhodes is awesome, so it doesn't really matter. I'm pulling for him to win it all.
