* Backstage – JOSH MCGUIRE interviews JON SASS, who has a tremendous opportunity tonight, challenging RYAN KNAKAL for the NYCW Championship. SASS says that after last week’s loss, he is finished with MARTIN BLACKBURN as a tag team partner and he will now focus exclusively on his singles career, starting with winning the NYCW Championship tonight and eventually making it back to the PWA. He tells KNAKAL to beware, because tonight, he becomes nothing but a JON SASS stepping-stone.

* Match 3 – DYNAMITE DEAN NASH and GREG PRICE d. ANTHONY DESIO and RICK DELIGHT at 16:28. PRICE forced DESIO to submit to a Boston Crab. (Referee: Ethan McKay)

* Backstage – JOSH MCGUIRE interviews BIG VERNON and SYDESWYPE, who challenge the OLD SCHOOL for the NYCW Tag Team Championship tonight. The two big country boys don’t have much to say, and tell MCGUIRE that they will let their actions in the ring speak for themselves when they return to the locker room the new champions.

* Match 4 – NYCW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP – THE OLD SCHOOL © d. BIG VERNON and SYDESWYPE to retain the title at 7:49. BOBBY BURRIS pinned BIG VERNON with his feet on the ropes. (Referee: Jim Parris)

* Backstage – JOSH MCGUIRE is standing by with NYCW Champion RYAN “THE BOSS” KNAKAL moments before defending the championship against JON SASS. KNAKAL disregards the challenge of SASS and gets angry when FRANK BRIGGS’ name is mentioned, prompting KNAKAL to cut the interview short and head to the ring.

* Match 7 – NYCW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP – RYAN “THE BOSS” KNAKAL © d. JON SASS to retain the title at 9:02. After the match, KNAKAL continued the assault on SASS, only for FRANK BRIGGS to emerge to a large ovation and clear the ring of KNAKAL to end the show.
