Cornio threw out 5 men, including Mark Briscoe who had a field day in the battle royal.e dn Michael Modest pinned Tazz after a German suplex in 0:08:16. Rating: *** 3/4 [Brian Christopher interfered against Tazz.] AWESOME matchup. Modest comes to the ring and says that now that morgan is gone from the company he has no competition in singles action. Out comes Tazz who challenges him to a fight. Modest gets the victory and he does it using a GERMAN SUPLEX! One of Tazz own moves. Tom Carter pinned Paul London after a Northern Lights suplex in 0:15:19. Rating: ** 3/4 [Jim Mitchell interfered against Paul London.] Carter continues to impress the USWA fans and the decision makers. His win over London keeps him in a title picture. Bruno has told Carter he will need to get a few big matches under his belt and has booked a singles match against one of his most hated guys in the company Vampiro. Nate Hatred defeated Halloween by countout in 0:03:04. Rating: 1/2* Michael Shane pinned Low-Ki after the Running Forearm Smash in 0:14:53. Rating: **** Shane defeats Low Ki to keep himself in the X tITLE PICTURE. Low Ki has been in 2 big losses as of late keeping him off the top 10. CM Punk pinned Colt Cabana after a pumphandle tombstone in 0:11:02. Rating: **** (CM Punk retained the X Division Title.) [Raven interfered against Colt Cabana.] Punk keeps the X title with a victory over Cabana. Punk took the mic after the match and told Cabana he doesn't care what their history is, until he can actually PROVE HIMSELF he doesn't want to be in the same ring with him. Punk said he can beat ANYONE the USWA puts in front of him, and Bruno said that he needs to give Carter a rematch. Punk refuses and tells Bruno he will defend the title against Michael Shane since he defeated Low Ki. The fans were all over Punk knowing he is dodging his former partner. The Triple Threat (Batista, Jeff Jarrett and Shane Douglas) defeated The New Church (Raven, Vampiro and Vic Grimes) when Jarrett defeated Grimes by disqualification in 0:04:25. Rating: ** 1/2 [Jim Mitchell interfered against Jeff Jarrett.] The match was stopped early due to continuous outside interference by Mitchell. When the match ended 2 Cold Christopher and Carter hit the ring and another brawl ensued. Carter said that he will defeate Vampiro, he will win the X title, AND he will help RID of the Triple Threat. Dusty Rhodes pinned Madman Pondo after a figure-four leglock in 0:12:30. Rating: * 1/4 Dusty gets the victory over, someone who the fans think might be the runaway man to win the KOTDM coming up. Although we have not paid much attention to it because of the title situations, 32 men will be entering the tournament, and Rhodes is saying it's his destiny to win this tournament. Jun Akiyama pinned AJ Styles after an inside cradle in 0:09:46. Rating: **** (Jun Akiyama won the USWA Heavyweight Title.) A NEW CHAMPION has been crowned in the USWA as Jun Akiyama has climbed up to the top of the card and beat AJ Styles for the title. Jun got on the mic after the match and said all his life he wanted to be a heavyweight champ, and AJ Styles is one of the best opponents he has ever had. He wants to bring pride and respect to the title, and truly make it a WORLD TITLE. USWA officials were stunned at the way Akiyama came into the company and basically defeated the best of the best. Card rating: ** 3/4 Match observations:
