Non WCW Title Tag Team Match -
The Rock & Roll Express VS Alpha Academy

In a fantastic, fast-paced battle, the WCW World Tag Team Champions The Rock & Roll Express win this tag team match. During the Match Otis, demonstrated remarkable speed and strength, he also dominated stretches of the match, hurling Gibson around the ring while Tozawa delivered sharp, explosive offense. Despite putting up a great fight and showing incredible resilience, Tozawa and Otis ultimately fell victim to the R&R Express’s timeless tag team synergy and quick combination offense.

Before the victorious Rock & Roll Express could fully celebrate, the arena lights flickered and plunged into darkness. When they returned, the terrifying faction known as the Wyatt Sicks was at ringside. The silent menace Dexter Lumis, the zealous Joe Gacy, and the colossal Erick Rowan. They ambushed both Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson at ringside. They unleashed a brutal, methodical assault, leaving both men decimated in a shocking display of havoc. Before the Wyatt Sicks left the arena, Uncle Howdy appeared on the massive screen. With chilling clarity, Howdy delivered a simple but menacing message to the current Tag Team Champions: "Next week, the family comes to collect what's theirs. We want a championship rematch!" The stage is now set for a violent confrontation on next week's Nitro.

One on One Match -
Vader VS Braun Strowman 

The air in the arena was thick with tension following Vader’s humiliating tag team loss at SuperBrawl. Tonight, the mastodon was out for blood, seeking retribution against Braun Strowman. 

The match began exactly as advertised: a seismic clash of brute force. The bell rang and both men immediately met in the center of the ring, trading heavy forearm shots that echoed throughout the arena. The sheer force of the blows caused both behemoths to stumble, refusing to give an inch. During the match in a shocking display of athleticism and power, Vader managed to hoist the massive Strowman up for a Samoan Drop, dropping him with bone-jarring impact that visibly stunned the "Monster Among Men." Then later on Strowman roared back to his feet, catching Vader on the rebound and delivering a thunderous Powerslam. The fans were on their feet, witnessing two of the most powerful men in professional wrestling shock the universe by repeatedly picking each other up for devastating maneuvers.

The momentum eventually swung decisively into Strowman’s favor. Using his raw size and relentless aggression, Braun began a dominant stretch. He drove Vader hard into the turnbuckle, flattening him with a running splash in the corner. Strowman then miraculously picked up the former WCW Champion and hit a powerful Running Powerbomb and went for the cover. 

Vader, however, kicked out at the last second, Strowman stood over him, flexing and roaring, ready to end the match with another Powerslam attempt. Then Frustration began to boil over for the mastodon. Seeing that he couldn't put Strowman away and realizing he was losing control, Vader suddenly rolled out of the ring, clutching his knee and pretending to have a serious injury. 

The Referee turned his back to Vader and focused his attention on Braun Strowman trying to keep him from Vader where he was “Hurt”. In a move of calculated deception, Vader quickly reached under the ring, dramatically tossing aside the protective ring skirt for a brief second to reveal the hidden weapon—a metal trash can lid. He snatched the heavy lid and slid back into the ring and just as the referee turned his attention back to the action. Vader charged and slammed the sharp edge of the metal trash can lid directly across the side of Strowman's head! The bell immediately rang, signaling the disqualification victory for Braun Strowman, but Vader didn't care.
With Strowman staggered and bleeding from the impact, Vader began brutally beating him with the lid—slamming it down on his back, ribs, and shoulders with sickening metallic thuds. He tossed the lid aside, his eyes blazing with uncontrollable fury, and then reached under the ring one more time to pull out a kendo stick. The crowd erupted in a mix of shock and boos as Vader delivered a relentless barrage of kendo stick shots, focusing his attack on the chest and legs of the downed Strowman, leaving the "Monster Among Men" writhing in agony.

Vader stood tall over his beaten foe, spitting at the camera as the officials rushed the ring to pull him away. The message was clear: this feud is far from over. What started as a wrestling rivalry has officially become a war.

One on One Match -
Wes Lee VS Jey USO

Before the match could even begin, Drew McIntyre stormed out of the backstage curtain on to the entrance ramp as Jey USO was making his energetic entrance. Furious over his Semi-Final loss to Stone Cold Steve Austin at SuperBrawl, the "Scottish Warrior" was clearly looking for someone to take out his rage on. McIntyre ambushed USO from behind! Hitting Jey with some of the hardest strikes and punches. The Security and the Referee swarmed the stage trying to get McIntyre off of USO. They eventually got McIntyre to walk to the back. 

Despite being clearly shaken and favoring his left shoulder, Jey Uso refused medical attention. He demanded the match start immediately, showing the heart of a true main eventer.

The bell rang, and the damage was instantly apparent. Wes Lee, fresh and agile, immediately capitalized on Jey's weakened state, focusing his attack on the ribs and midsection. Lee was dynamic and dominant, hitting lightning-fast strikes, running corner clotheslines, and brutal snap DDTs. The crowd watched sympathetically as Jey struggled, using the ropes simply to stay on his feet.
Wes Lee hit his signature Cardiac Kick, snapping Jey’s head back! He went for the cover—one! two!—but Jey kicked out. Lee, stunned by the resilience of the injured Uso, kept up the assault, hitting a picture-perfect Spiral Tap from the top rope! Again, the referee counted, but at the last possible millisecond, Jey thrust his shoulder up. Lee screamed in frustration, having thrown his best offense at a wounded man and failing to secure the three-count. He hit a diving headbutt, a bridging German suplex, and multiple rapid-fire pins, but Jey Uso was simply unwilling to lose, kicking out every time.

After taking an unbelievable amount of punishment, a beaten and exhausted Jey Uso finally found a burst of adrenaline. As Lee attempted another maneuver, Jey ducked under, shoved Lee hard into the turnbuckle, and hit a sudden Superkick that leveled Wes Lee!
With the crowd now fully behind him, Jey began his rally, driving Lee back and hitting a series of fierce chops and clotheslines. Jey climbed to the top rope, his injured arm screaming in protest, and hit a spectacular Uso Splash. He covered Wes Lee—one! two!—but Lee somehow got a shoulder up!

Frustrated but focused, Jey saw his opportunity. As Lee struggled to his feet, Jey took a running start across the ring, hitting a brutal, match-ending Spear to get the Win!!  

Jey USO slowly pulled himself up, exhausted but triumphant. As he struggled to catch his breath, Drew McIntyre suddenly reappeared on the stage trash talking Jey USO. Fired up by the disrespect and the memory of the pre-match assault, Jey Uso's exhaustion turned to pure rage. He ignored the referee's warnings, marched up the ramp, and charged directly at McIntyre. The two men exploded into a fight on the stage! Jey threw rapid punches while McIntyre responded with stiff kicks and headbutts. They exchanged heavy blows until a wave of security guards and officials swarmed the area, desperately trying to separate the two bitter rivals. The brawl raged until the last possible moment as WCW cut to commercial.

Kevin Owens & Vince McMahan Promo

Vince McMahon:
"Look at this, everyone! Look at the future! Last Saturday at SuperBrawl, we exposed the biggest lie in this business. We proved that all the beer-swilling, finger-raising 'Attitude' in the world means absolutely nothing when faced with the corporate ingenuity of Vince McMahon and the pure, unadulterated talent of your WCW World Champion, Kevin Owens!"

Kevin Owens:
"It’s simple, really. Steve worked his tail off, he fought his heart out, but he wasn't enough to beat me! Now, he's back where he belongs at the bottom of the list. And I? I'm holding the most prestigious title in the world!”

Vince McMahon:
"That's right, Kevin. And let me make this perfectly clear to the Texas Rattlesnake and all you slack-jawed fans: as long as I am the power in this company, Austin will never touch this championship again! In fact, I love seeing him struggle. I love watching him fight so hard for what he wants, only to see him beaten, frustrated, and left with nothing! He deserves everything that happened to him!"

(The glass shatters! "Stone Cold" Steve Austin hops over the barricade from the crowd, looking absolutely furious.)

(Austin slides into the ring, but McMahon and Owens both scramble their way out of the ring and hurry up the entrance ramp, escaping just as Austin reaches them.)

(Austin grabs a Microphone looking up at both Vince & Kevin on the stage.)

Stone Cold Steve Austin:
(Shouting, fire in his eyes)
"You two sons of bitches! You think you can talk trash about me and take what's  rightfully mine?! I'm gonna get you both! I'm gonna beat your corporate behinds all over this arena, and I'm taking that championship!"

(Vince McMahon with Mic still in hand stops on the ramp and lets out a booming, mocking laugh.)

Vince McMahon:
"Oh, you want a piece of us, Austin? You want your match so badly? I actually like that intensity! So, let's make a little deal, shall we? You want your rematch against Owens at the next Pay-Per-View? You've got it... IF you can win this match next week on Nitro!"

Vince McMahon:
"Next week, Austin, you will face NINE wrestlers that I personally hand-pick in an All vs. One Gauntlet Match! And here are the stakes, Steve: If you win, you get your World Title rematch against Owens! But if you lose... you will NEVER get another World Title opportunity against Kevin Owens as long as he is the champion! Good luck, 'Austin.' You're gonna need it!"

(Vince McMahon and Kevin Owens, exit through the curtain as Austin stands alone in the ring, furious and angry with the gravity of the challenge setting in.)

One on One Match -
Bam Bam Bigelow VS LA Knight 

The rematch between LA Knight and Bam Bam Bigelow was an absolute clinic that exceeded expectations, with both men going to war to prove their claim to the main event scene. Knight fought fire with fire, using speed and strategy to take the massive Bigelow to his limit.
The physical nature of the contest spilled outside the ring. After Bigelow landed a powerful PowerSlam, he attempted to send LA Knight crashing into the unforgiving steel ring steps. Knight, desperate for the win, fought back fiercely, countering the move and dropping Bigelow with the BFT (Blunt Force Trauma)!

Knight didn't hesitate. He immediately muscled the stunned Bigelow up and slung the 350-pound monster shoulder-first into the steel steps with devastating impact.
The referee's 10-count was already underway as Bigelow lay motionless in a heap. Knight, himself exhausted, crawled frantically back toward the ring. The count reached NINE... and in a desperate surge of adrenaline, LA Knight slid under the bottom rope at the final possible moment!
Winner by Count-Out: LA Knight.

Though Bigelow was not pinned, LA Knight's victory is indisputable. He proved he can defeat the giant, cementing his status as a relentless and highly strategic contender ready for the WCW World Title scene.

Main Event One on One Match -
Ric Flair VS Dragon Lee

In the highly anticipated main event of Nitro, "Nature Boy" Ric Flair faced the explosive Lucha sensation, Dragon Lee, for the very first time. This first-ever encounter pitted Flair’s cunning strategy and legendary stamina against Lee’s unparalleled speed and aerial offense.

The match was an electric, back-and-forth thriller from start to finish. Dragon Lee was a blur of motion, flying across the ring and hitting rapid-fire dives, while Flair absorbed the punishment, countering with his signature devastating chops and surgically precise takedowns. The two men demonstrated unbelievable conditioning, trading control for minutes at a time. Lee repeatedly escaped Flair’s attempts to target the legs, answering with spectacular strikes and a near-fall that almost ended the match early.

However, in the final moments, experience prevailed over excitement. As Dragon Lee ascended the ropes for a desperate, high-risk maneuver, Flair rushed the corner and quickly pulled the high-flyer down, slamming Lee’s knees hard onto the apron. Capitalizing immediately on the damaged legs, Flair dragged Lee to the center of the ring, expertly bridged his own body weight, and locked in the Figure Four Leglock. Dragon Lee fought valiantly, screaming in agony and desperately trying to reach the ropes, but the pressure from the prime Nature Boy was too much. Unable to withstand the hold, Dragon Lee was forced to submit, giving Ric Flair a definitive, clean victory over one of the world’s fastest competitors. The legend prevails
