Michael Shane pinned Raven with the Picture Perfect Elbowdrop in 0:16:56. Rating: *** 1/2 [Alexis Laree, CM Punk and Jim Mitchell interfered against Michael Shane.] HUGE win for the kid tonight. Shane came to the ring to start the show and called out Raven. He said he is sick of every match having the New Church interfere, and cost him a chance at the X title. He wanted Raven tonight! He got him, even with help from CM Punk Raven took a loss with the Picture Perfect Elbow Drop. THis has to be the biggest win of SHanes career to date. Interview: Shane Douglas Calls out Savage Shane said ever since he was a little boy he wanted to be like Savage. He wants to take savage on tonight to prove he has surpassed the legend of the Macho Man. Vampiro pinned Negro Casas with the Vampiro Spike in 0:15:41. Rating: ** 3/4 Vampiro has been loving the lucha feel the USWA has. Last night Negro Casas was a mystery opponent for Tazz, once he debuted VAMPIRO begged Dibiase to give him a match against one of his nemises in Mexico. Tonight Casas falls to the Vampiro spike! America's Most Wanted (Chris Harris and James Storm) defeated The Road Warriors (Hawk and Animal) when C. Harris pinned Hawk after a spinebuster slam in 0:09:19. Rating: ** 1/4 Americas most wanted gets a big win over the Road Warriors. These two teams have been struggling to get on top of the tag team division, but tonight AMW gets the nod.

Briscoe pinned D. Morgan with the Cutthroat Suplex in 0:19:54. Rating: *** 3/4 (The Briscoe Brothers won the USWA Tag Team Titles.) The Briscoe Brothers come away with a HUGE win and the Tag Team Titles! but the Can Am Express are protesting the match because they were never pinned! The match was excellent, but a singles rematch is in place for tomorrow night. Can the Can Am Express win back there gold? Dusty Rhodes pinned Batista with the Bionic Elbowdrop in 0:06:13. Rating: * 1/4 Dusty with a big win for the Legends over Dave Batista.

CM Punk pinned Colt Cabana after a knee pull-up in 0:08:20. Rating: **** 1/4 (CM Punk retained the X Division Title.) AWESOME X division title match, with Punk getting the victory over Cabana.
