Attendance: 1,200 (No vacancy)
Commentators: Michael Cole & Rene Young
Interviews: William Regal
Ring Announcer: So Cal Val
*Show starts with Triple H backstage in his office being interviewed by William Regal, he answers Regal's question as to what tonight holds by announcing tonight's main-event will be an interesting one as the past meets the present in tag team action. Rockstar Spud has been relieved of his interviewing duties because he will be in the ring tonight to prepare for his 4th Anniversary Show match against old adversary American Kickboxer 2 on February the 6th. Spud will tag team with the Heavyweight Champion Kevin Steen against returning former ZG Champ American Kickboxer 2 and the man who will challenge Steen on the 6th, the former NWA North American Champion Mark "Air" Jindrak.
1. Uhaa Nation defeated Fin Balor in a battle of the Fight Night debutantes in 10:41
Uhaa debuted in Chicago with a big win over Alexander Rusev on Saturday Night Live, and carried on his impressive start to his career in the Windy City with a win over the debuting Fin Balor, who was making his first appearance tonight. This was a fantastic match to open the card and went over the ten minute mark which is rare for a card opener displaying that the group has big plans for both these men perhaps. Uhaa showed his power and strength and Fin Balor displayed his impressive speed, crispness and high flying skills. Indeed, Uhaa wasn't too far behind Balor in terms of speed as he showed what a true athlete he was in keeping up with Balor. At the end of it all, Uhaa's combination of power and speed won out tonight and he took the win with a Standing Shooting Star Press to gain the three count.

2. Non-Title Match
The Gaydar (Dick Ryder & Jeffery Flockhart) [c] w/Jimmy Hart def Box Office (The Miz & Alex Riley) in 5:55
The tag team champions warmed up for their title defense against The Usos on the 4th Anniversary Show with a win over an up and coming team in Box Office.
The Gaydar who have had a lack of cohesion recently in terms of Flockhart reacting jealously towards the way Ryder seems to prefer giving his attentions to Jimmy Hart and likewise Ryder perhaps jealous over Flockharts singles successes. Tonight though, with word of a contract dispute between the champs and Windy City quite well known, everyone was on the same page, and Flockhart latched The Groin claw on the Miz on the outside to stop him trying to make the save while Ryder pinned Riley with the Gay Basher.
After the match, Ryder flops out his out-turned pocket and Jimmy Hart greedily accepts, while Flockhart watched on perhaps now getting visibly jealous again - but this time Ryder offers out his opposite pocket to Flockhart... who after some deliberation and asking the crowd..., accepts the pocket and seems happy if a bit unsure still, perhaps not knowing any better and defaulting to type of being subservient.
*We go backstage for a scheduled interview and here is "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters with William Regal, Masters is dressed sharp in a grey suit.
Masters says he will miss ripping on Spud tonight but Regal will have to do. The former champ says that although Samoa Joe lost his title as he predicted at StarrCade to AJ Styles...he will not forget about Samoa Joe. Before he can truly target AJ Styles and the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Title though, he must address Samoa Joe first. He states that Joe losing the belt will have released alot of pressure on Joe's shoulders and he's fully expecting to see a very dangerous and carefree Samoa Joe when they finally meet once again. Masters outright challenges Samoa Joe to face him on the 28th of February Fight Night right here in Chicago!
But before all that, Masters confirms that he will return to the ring as advertised on the anniversary show against a mystery opponent. The Masterpiece says that he doesn't care who that will be, because he is at a 110%, is healthy and they will be going down to the Masterlock guaranteed!
3. 2 on 1 Woman's Handicap Match
"Kharma" Kia Stevens defeated The Beautiful People (Angelina Love & Velvet Sky) in 4:02
This match was developed on SNL when Kharma came down during a 6-woman tag match and Angelina Love had fed Sky to her to save her own skin. This developed further when a handicap match challenge was issued by The Beautiful People who see themselves as the swans, and Kharma the ugly fat duckling.
Kharma was dominating the match but it looked like The Beautiful People was going to take a deliberate count-out loss when someone from Stevens past stopped them in their tracks as Cheerleader Melissa blocked their path and tossed Love back into the ring. This time Velvet did not try to save her partner and made a getaway through the crowd and Kharma quickly dispatched Love with an Implant Buster. Kharma and Melissa gave each other eye contact and just stared at each other as we head into commercials.

4. The Briscoes (Jay & Mark) def. KENTA & Drew Galloway w/Roddy Piper in 7:20 when Jay Briscoe pinned KENTA with the Jay Driller after some miss-communication on the ring apron between known hot heads Piper and KENTA.
KENTA was enraged towards the legend Piper causing him the loss motioning that Piper was Galloway's mentor and not his! Piper didn't back down and KENTA went to strike him but was stopped from by Drew Galloway as he pulled back KENTA's arm. This all then kicked off as KENTA and Galloway brawled all around the ring and had to be separated by security. This match was signed to see if KENTA and Galloway could get some revenge against The Briscoes but at the end of it all they just couldn't work with each other and wasn't a solid team who have worked with each for years like The Briscoes, and it showed in the huge explosion that happened.

*John Cena brings us back from commercials and is in-ring with the NWA North American Heavyweight Title around his waist. Cena went through a real war with Bully Ray at StarrCade and he looks like he did too. A black-eye and a busted/strapped nose thanks to the confirmed broken nose he received at StarrCade in retaining his NWA North American Title.
Cena gets a mixed reception from the Chicago fans, this is despite him putting it all, his health, his heart, on the line at StarrCade in the extreme rules match against Bully Ray.
Cena looks visibly pissed off at the reaction, obviously hoping that all his hard work would finally show the fans that he's a hard worker, a fighter, someone who will never give up, but instead he is getting pissed all over on by the crowd as he stands there in silence with the crowds reaction getting louder and louder as Cena stays silent. Cena abandons whatever he was going to say, disgusted, and leaves the ring without saying a word.
Non Title Match
5. Sean Waltman [c] downs Delirious in 8:39 as the Zero Gravity Champ looks strong despite not being in possession of the actual belt.
Paul Heyman comes out to the entrance way with the ZG Title that he still holds after he was told to go home by Triple H last Fight Night. Heyman says Waltman always seems to wrestle and win well when there's no testers in the house, and any smell of a test on the horizon thanks to his relationship with Triple H either he walks or turns up for the match and performs below-par...Heyman wonders why this is. Why he can go from steadily improving against Daniel Bryan each and every week to suddenly dropping performance levels when the Doctors are in the house. Heyman outright calls Waltman on it and says Waltman is obviously cycling off the PED's when it suits him!
Waltman can be seen mouthing "bullshit!" in the ring towards Heyman.
Heyman says that not all PED's make you bulk up like Triple H...and he's pretty darn sure Waltman would not pass a test if was forced to under-go one. Paul says Triple H has agreed with him that this now needs to be looked at, after Heyman put a little legal pressure on the Powers That Be that he needs to defend the ZG Title on the next Fight Night and be tested, and he has been reliably informed by Triple H that he will face off against an up-and-coming youngster in the form of the Zero Gravity Cup winner Adrian Neville, so Waltman will have to be at the top of his game to retain! Heyman says that Waltman isn't being protected anymore by his pals and wonders what condition the Kid will show up in! Heyman finishes by telling Waltman that he will rue the day he decided to not become a Paul Heyman guy and he's going to expose him, when he could have protected him!
*Commercials*
*A "prime time" type 5 min segment rolls with Daniel Puder and Ken Shamrock shown working out, performing drills and training hard, and both men talking about their upcoming gypsy rules, bare knuckle fight on the anniversary show. Shamrock is seen going back to his Irish roots in Ireland, training with local gypsy hard-men outside caravans in fields while Puder is seen in a low-rent dimly lit gym working tremendously hard with up and coming fighters. Both men seem to be taking this fight very seriously. We also get talking-heads sound-bytes from both men's "fair play" representatives, Bully Ray for Puder, and Daniel Bryan for Shamrock who both say they wouldn't hesitate in giving the other a slap if they try to interfere with the fair-play.
6. The Usos defeat The Hart Dynasty (Tyson Kidd & Bulldog Hart) w/Nattie Neidhart in 8:25
The Hart Dynasty make an impact here tonight as they put on a very competitive showing against #1 contenders The Usos, but The Usos just about edged out the win in this one but the main talking point was The Gaydar making an appearance attacking The Usos after the match. Eventually The Usos managed to turn the tables and while Dick Ryder managed to slide out the ring, Flockhart took a big splash from the top from Jey Uso!
*A Kofi Kingston pre-taped promo airs prior to the main-event. Kofi is wearing a black leather jacket, shades and has his braids tied back tight to his head.
Kofi looks and sounds a-lot more intense than we have seen before and he demands a title shot against whoever wins out of Steen and Jindrak!!!
*Commercials*
7. MAIN-EVENT Tag Team Match
Mark "Air" Jindrak & Rockstar Spud beat Kevin Steen & American Kickboxer 2 in 12:38 when Jindrak pins AK2 with an Air Jindrak.
When Steen went to see to his partner he was jumped by Jindrak who hits the champion with his Heavyweight Title belt knocking him down. The challenger gets on the mic and tells Steen he's looking for competition and knows he will be in a fight but as Steen has seen tonight he's willing to bring it and make it dirty as well - he tells Steen his title is in jeopardy and he will win the championship at the 4th anniversary show to add to his collection of accolades which would push him into NWA World Heavyweight Title contention!
*As the shown goes off the air Michael Cole and Rene Young remind fans that the next show will be the 4th Anniversary Show on the 6th of February;
Kevin Steen verses Mark Jindrak; Rockstar Spud verses American Kickboxer 2; Ken Shamrock verses Daniel Puder; The Gaydar verses The Usos
They also advertise the main-event of the next Saturday Night Live 13th of February with the Cyber TV Title being on the line in the main event as Bray Wyatt defends against his his fellow Family member Jay Briscoe and Solomon Crowe in a triple threat!
