Interview:
Douglas, Jarrett and Batista come to the ring

Shane Douglas comes to the ring in pain, he says that the contract is finished
and that Jarrett WILL defend the title in his place tonight against TAZZ!
Shane says he will be at ringside for the match and that he has complete faith
in Jarrett tonight. Jarrett said he has been in high profile matches in the
past and tonight is no different. He carried this company on his back for 
years and he doesn't plan on stopping now. AJ Styles music hits and he comes
to the ring! AJ says that he wants that title since he beat Shane in the
Young Gunns challenge match. AJ said he is going to LET Tazz take the title
shot because he doesn't want the title from Jarrett, he wants it from
Douglas himself!

Rating: ****
(Reckless Youth won the X Division Title.)

Another amazing X division match and a NEW CHAMPION is crowned! Reckless Youth
who basically took the USWA by storm in its first run is now holding gold.

Rating: **

but Cornio pulls out a big Victory.

AJ Styles pinned Sabu with the Styles Clash in 0:09:45.
Rating: ***

AWESOME match with AJ Styles getting the win. Batista came down to the ring,
and had words with AJ Styles. Sabu didn't take a liking to Batista getting
involved in the matchup and did a suicide dive! With his attention not on the
match the young crafty kid AJ Styles was able to hit the Styles Clash and 
defeate Sabu.

[Tag Title Top Contenders]:
The Road Warriors (Hawk and Animal) defeated
The Can-Am Express (Doug Furnas and Phil LaFon) when Animal pinned LaFon after
a power bomb in 0:02:39.
Rating: * 3/4

The Road Warriors with a QUICK victory over the Can Am Express puts them on
track to become the next tag champions, or at least get a title shot. The
question remains who will the take on?

Team Extreme (Tommy Dreamer and The Sandman) defeated Raven and CM Punk when
Sandman pinned Raven after an inside cradle in 0:07:56.
Rating: *** 1/4
(Team Extreme retained the USWA Tag Team Titles.)
[Pitbull 2 interfered against Raven.]
[Alexis Laree interfered against The Sandman.]

Team Extreme escapes Raven and Punk to retain those tag belts. With the 
Road Warriors right behind them, Can they keep their winning streak alive?
Raven has been fighting with Tommy and Sandman since his enterance into the
company, but maybe this is a sign that it's time to move on.

[Jarrett Defends Title for Douglas]:
Jeff Jarrett pinned Tazz with the Forward Russian Legsweep in 0:14:20.
Rating: *** 1/4

Jarrett did it! He retained the Heavyweight title for Douglas! What a crazy
matchup with AJ coming down to the ring and HELPING Jarrett keep the title!
Batista also came down helping Jarrett beat Taz! With all these interferences
Tazz still had a chance to win until SABU finally FINALLY aknowledges the fact
that Taz has been calling him out and HE attacks TAZ! With Team Tazz all being
fired NOBODY was there to help him. In the End Jarrett defended the title with
Batista, AJ Sabu and Douglas in his corner. Tazz was fighting a losing battle
from the  beginning.
