* MATCH 1 – THE OLD SCHOOL d. ROB GRAVES and DYNAMITE DEAN NASH via pinfall at 7:16. BOBBY BURRIS pinned GRAVES after a fisherman suplex.

* MATCH 2 – JACKIE BACCARO d. ANTHONY “BK” DESIO via pinfall at 6:19 with a powerbomb.

* MATCH 3 - NYCW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP – DA BANDITZ © d. THE TYRANT and THE IRISH ASSASSIN JOE MALONE at 9:15 to retain the title. JERMAINE HARRIS pinned MALONE with Total Elimination.

* BACKSTAGE – JOSH MCGUIRE is backstage with BOBBY BURRIS and ALEX MASON, THE OLD SCHOOL. The two claim to not have been impressed with DA BANDITZ or their victory moments ago. They want one last title shot with the team, and will hound the champions until they get it. They expect an answer next week.

* BACKSTAGE – NYCW Champion JON DULBERG is backstage, preparing to defend the NYCW Championship against the monster known as SOLOMON, in a match that DULBERG himself requested, to prove that he would accept challenges from all comers. However, as he is preparing, he is assaulted by RYAN KNAKAL, TYRANT, and JOE MALONE, and subsequently carted off into an ambulance, unable to compete tonight.

* MATCH 4 – NYCW WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP – MEGAN LOVATO © d. TINA HOOVER at 3:49 to retain the title. LOVATO pinned HOOVER after a roundhouse kick.

* MATCH 5 – FRANK BRIGGS d. DEION YOUNG via pinfall at 5:19 with a devastating enziguri.

* MATCH 6 – JON SASS d. ANDREW LIVINGSTON at 7:18 with a powerslam. This marked SASS’ NYCW debut. Subsequently, he received a standing ovation from the New York crowd, not expecting to see the former PWA Progressive Champion.

* RINGSIDE – ICONZ’s “Get F*cked Up” hits and RYAN “THE BOSS” KNAKAL comes out, alone, boasting about taking out JON DULBERG earlier tonight. He claims that until he gets another shot at the NYCW Championship, then no one will. At this, Darkseed’s “Cold Under Water” hits and SOLOMON comes out in a very bad mood. SOLOMON tells KNAKAL that not only will he pay for attacking him two weeks ago, but he will pay even more for costing him a title shot tonight. SOLOMON challenges KNAKAL to meet him one-on-one right now, with the winner getting the next title shot. KNAKAL agrees and the match begins.

* MATCH 7 – SOLOMON d. RYAN KNAKAL at 11:17 with the Deep Freeze. THE TYRANT and JOE MALONE quickly showed up at ringside, putting SOLOMON in a predicament. Though he was essentially battling three men, SOLOMON took them each out individually, eventually completing the domination by hitting KNAKAL with the Deep Freeze and pinning him to secure his shot at the NYCW Championship and JON DULBERG one week from tonight at the Elks Lodge in Elmhurst, New York.
