Web-Exclusive Pre-Show Match;
Unsigned Showcase Match
"The Hype" Will Ferrara defeated "The Apex of Agility" Andrew Everett in a fair-to-good high flying match that got the crowd warmed up. The two was given ample time to impress too with the match going 9 minutes in a very competative matchup. Spot of the match was Everett hitting an impressive shooting star plancha to the outside. Everett went for a double moonsault on Ferrar trying to finish the match but missed and Ferrara took advantage to score the pinfall with a single knee facebreaker that he calls the Eyes Wide Shut. Ferrara won and showed his determination and scrappy underdog style but Everett perhaps impressed more even in defeat.

Station: WICD
Channel: 15
DTV: 41
Affiliation: ABC
Air Times: Sat 11PM, Sun 4AM
Commentary team Michael Cole & Booker T with Rene Young doing the interviews and So Cal Val on ring announcer duties. SNL air's on local TV in Chicago and on syndication elsewhere.
Featured William Regal, Jeremy Borash and Alex Riley as tonight's judges with the score-cards should they be needed. Time-Limit's for matches at 10 minutes. Cyber-TV Championship being the only title that can be won via judges point's decision.
Opening Saturday Night Live was a big Cyber TV Championship match as Adam Cole defended the title against the man who attacked him at Uncensored in Tyler Breeze; Cole didn't seem to care about winning the match by pinfall or sub and just wanted to hurt Tyler in revenge and went close to the wire of a DQ on many occasions, really battering Tyler. Breeze was on the defensive for the majority of the match and even considered bailing on the match several times but Cole let his emotions affect his judgement as when on the offensive he took his eye's off Breeze to argue with the ref while Breeze picked up his Selfie-Stick that he brings to the ring from the corner and walloped Cole in the head with it on the wrong side of the ref and then with his feet on the ropes scored a quick three count to win the match and the Cyber TV Championship in 7:56.
Tyler Breeze grabbed the Cyber TV Championship belt and ran from ringside towards the back but was stopped in his tracks by the music of RVD, the Chief of Staff. RVD told Breeze that he was watching the match backstage and he and everyone else saw him cheat to win the title tonight. Van Dam teased reversing the decision and stripping Breeze of the belt but in the end decided that because the ref didn't see it, he can't call it. The win and title change stands, New Cyber TV Champion Tyler Breeze! BUT Breeze must defend the title in an immediate rematch against Adam Cole at the Fight Night TV Special!

Next up, Chris Masters was out and in-ring with a mike. Masters said that it's cute that Cena has got his little Chain Gang security team saving his ass but he's not a muscle head and he's not stupid. Masters say's he knows as does everyone else that Cena won't be able to get the job done on his own and will need to use his lackies Todd Hanson and the Beer City Bruiser to interfer in his NWA North American Heavyweight Title match at Fight Night to stand any chance of retaining the belt against The Masterpiece! As such he has recruited two men who impressed him both in the ring on the last SNL and also in the gym! Masters introduces BODY MAGIC, Eric St. Vaughn & Ashton Vuitton who head to the ring from the back apparently now alligned with Masters. Chris tell's Cena that Body Magic will watch his back at Fight Night and stop Cena's lackies getting involved; This brings out John Cena, along with the rest of his Chain Gang, Todd Hanson and Beer City Bruiser to a wall of boo's. Cena just laughs this development off and says Masters gym rats won't be able to help him at Fight Night and tonight he will demonstrate why. Cena challenges Masters to a six man tag team match in tonight's main-event and this is snap-accepted by Masters!
Windy City Tag Team Champions The Usos defeated Markus Crane & Dan Lawrence in a non-title match in 5:12, Crane & Lawrence are former Tag Champions in the Chicago minor leagues and this was a decent challenge for the champions but their confidence shined through as they dispatched of their opponents sending a message to 'Dem Boys that they are ready.
Last week Rockstar Spud vowed to gain revenge on Ricochet for taking the NWA World Jnr Heavyweight Title from him in 2012, saying he had not forgotten the way he cheated him of the title and now that Ricochet had arrived in his territory, he would exact his revenge and get his win back. Ricochet was dismissive and challenged Rockstar Spud to find someone to face him this week and Spud did just that as he introduced Sugar Dunkerton! Dunkerton and Ricochet put forth an entertaining bout but Ricochet managed to grab the win in 6:28 with a rollup to sneak out a victory. He was not content with his though and started stomping down on Dunkerton and Spud had seen enough. Spud flys towards Ricochet and hit's a running bulldog, he set's him up for a Rockstar Stunner but he stopped in his tracks as Rich Swann from out of nowhere hit's a spirngboard Swannaca-rana onto Spud! Looks like the Inner City Machine Guns are here! They have their way with Spud until Dunkerton who has recovered after being left alone a little while managed to grab him and pull him from the ring.

A RYBACK promo airs, he is out in the woods training. He's cutting down trees with an axe, tossing tree's around like cabers, chopping wood, running in the snow. He looks to be training super hard and is just about to say his one-liner that he's coming to Chicago to SMASH IT!...When the promo is suddenly cut short. We see Heath Slater in the TV Production room backstage, the guy supposed to be operating has been handcuffed with some fluffy dice cuffs. Slater say's that last week Ryback's promo interupted his big match winning celebration and nobody upstages "The Legendary", "The Hall of Famer" Heath Slater! Slater say's that ohhhh Ryback's out in the woods, scary!!! "Your out in the woods are you Ryback? You got your climbing equipment?" *bicep pose of sorts!* "Well get ready to climb mount everest! June 7th...Fight Night...Be There!". Looks like we have a challenge!
"Kharma" Kia Stevens, Gail Kim & Charlotte bested Paige, Sasha Banks & Serena Deeb w/Luke Harper in a six-woman tag bout in 5:02 when Stevens pinned Womens Champion Paige after her teammate Serena Deeb pushed her into Stevens for an Implant Buster. Deeb did this after Harper had been leaching over Paige and Banks in this match and she took exception to this! Deeb who has been kidnapped by Harper, now apparently wants all his attention. This is after she had helped Harper beat Sami Zayn who was trying to set her free at Uncensored; During the match we saw an insert segment between Sami Zayn and Rob Van Dam backstage in RVD's office. Zayn told RVD that Deeb doesn't know what she's doing and that she's under the influence of The Family, and asks what's RVD going to do about this blatant kidnap? RVD responds by saying that he doesn't think he can do much if Deeb denies any help...but he will have a word with her on the next SNL once Fight Night is out of the way.
A pre recorded video rolls of Kevin Owens talking to a doctor. It soon becomes apparent that Owens has been ordered to see the concussions expert Doctor by RVD but wants nothing to do with it! Owens get's extrmely worked up with the Doc's questions and repeats that Kevin Steen is dead and Kevin Owens will KO anyone who gets in his way. The Doc tries to calm down Owens but makes the mistake of putting a hand on him, Owens decks him with a big right and knock's him out cold. Owens just glares down and then storms out of the room.

RVD is in his office with Heavyweight Title challengers Kofi Kingston and Fin Balor. Kofi wants to pick the stips for their #1 contenders match at Fight Night but RVD says both men need to a chance to have the honour of doing that so he'll set up a beat the clock challenge tonight. Whoever wins the fastest gets to pick the stips. But with a twist, this would take place in a Double Jeapordy Match... both beat the clock matches will take place at the same time!
Uhaa Nation w/Sean Waltman defeats Tyson Kidd in impressive fashion with a standing shooting star press in 8:08 to prepare for his ZG Championship match against double-champion Neville, at Fight Night.
In a Double Jeapordy Beat the Clock Match Fin Balor battled Brian Myers, while Kofi Kingston took on Kalisto, both matches in the same ring, at the same time. This obviously caused problems, with Kofi trying to sabotage Balor's match while at the same time trying to win his own. Balor also pinned Kalisto by accident at one point after a melee which didn't count. Kingston took advantage of the confusion by straight away rolling Kalisto up himself and scored a three count to win his match before Balor. This ended the proceedings and Kofi announced as he left the ring that he wants a "Catch-as-Catch-Can match" at the Fight Night TV Special. Catch-as-catch-can matches allow any hold given that hold is not intended to inflict injury!? Interesting choice from Kofi who has been on a campaign first with Rey Mysterio, and then with Kevin...Owens...to reduce the amount of high risk offense seen in wrestling today.
So main-event time, Cena's Chain Gang against Body Magic; Chris Masters, Eric St. Vaughn & Ashton Vuitton beat John Cena, Hanson & Beer City Bruiser when Masters pinned Beer City Bruiser after a running double-Axe handle smash in 9:23; Immediately Body Magic was attacked though as another man hit the ring and pummled on Masters giving the Chain Gang a 4 on 3 advantage. Cena took advantage and hit Masters with a Attitude Adjustment! A big FU to Masters! Booker T on commentary says the unknown man is Raymond Rowe! Todd Hanson's one time partner in the War Machines! It look's like Cena has one-upped Masters tonight!
Post-show Bonus Dark match;
Match not aired on TV or via the web, may or may not follow current story-lines.
Taped for DVD compilations.
Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn defeated Curtis Axel & Kyle O'Reilly in 10:45 when Owens pinned Axel with a snap Powerbomb. Owens and Zayn worked together well as they always do, but Owens was demonstrating a lot more vicious style here tonight. Curtis Axel and O'Reilly though did seem to make a decent team here actually.
