(AJ Styles retained the X Division Title.)

Cage Match:
Raven pinned Jun Akiyama with the Raven Effect in 0:14:18.
Rating: **** 1/4
(Raven won the USWA Heavyweight Title.)

In our Main Event, everything Raven told us was true. In the Cage Jun 
seemed reserved. He was not the exploding power wrestler we have come
to see work here in the company. Jun took his first title defeat at
the hands of Raven inside the cage. Punk and the Pitbulls joined Raven
in the ring to continue a beat down on Akiyama, UNTIL the Sandmans music
hit and Sandman hit the ring. He had his cane in hand and cleared the ring
of Raven and his group. He helped Akiyama to his feat and to the back room.


Card rating: *** 3/4


Match observations: 

Notes from Backstage:
Location: Dallas, Texas
Attendance: 2,500
Overall the office was VERY happy about tonights show. A good crowd
for our debut in Dallas, TX.
 
The Ultimate X match was amazing and will definatley be back. 

The matches that Too Cold and Universo have been putting on have been
amazing and I know officials want these guys to continue there matches. A best
of 7 series has been in the works. 

 Raven will have no time to enjoy his title, because officials have already 
booked a rematch at Christmas Choas with Jun Akiyama. This time Akiyama
is going to have the opportunity to choose what type of match he wants.
