Show #1: Live on TNN!
Tuesday, April 5, 2022
Segment #1: Starts with The Undisputed Era. Then The Hurt Business come out. Shortly after, Seth Rollins & Jon Moxley come out within 30 seconds of each other. Kyle O'Reilly makes a snarky remark about how he's surprised those two butt buddies didn't come down the aisle through the crowd. Moments later, The Sandman's music hits and he comes down to the ring from the crowd. Armando Estrada settles things by announcing a 3-on-3-on-3 tag team match for the main event tonight. The Undisputed Era vs. The Hurt Business vs. Jon Moxley, Seth Rollins & Sandman.
Match 1: EYFBO (Ortiz & Santana) vs. MSK (Nash Carter & Wes Lee)
Winner: Ortiz & Santana
This is an excellent match to start the show that lasts nearly 15 minutes of back and forth action.
Segment #2 (Backstage): A very hyped up, sweaty, beaten down Ortiz & Santana shout into the camera (ignoring the interviewer's questions) about how they're ready to make a huge impact in this place. Enzo Amore & Big Cass head into frame and let them know to R-E-L-A-X, it's just one win, and not to be so SAWFT. This results in them exchanging blows until Deonna & Carmella come in and separate Enzo & Cass from them. A groggy Ortiz & Santana shout back at them as Enzo & Cass take off with the Jersey Shores.
Match 2: Hook vs. Eddie Kingston
Winner: Hook
Vignette: Tiffany Stratton
Segment #3 (Backstage): Carlito is in Armando's office, encouraging to give him some kind of early, easy title opportunity, that the Hispanics need to help each other. When it isn't working, he starts whispering in spanish to him and tries to bribe him. Armando says he isn't interested in any bribes nor any cocaína... but he will give him a title shot, up next, for the Hardcore Championship... against a guy he had his eyes set on that he thinks Carlito is going to enjoy. Carlito smirks, shakes Armando's hand, "now that's cool" and leaves.
Match 3: ECW Hardcore Championship: Hardcore Match: Carlito vs. Ryback
Winner: Ryback
After the win, Ryback yells "FEED ME MORE" after the match as he takes Carlito's apple and take a couple huge bites out of it.
Segment #4 (Backstage): Jersey Frat Party (Sammy Guevara, BroMans, Brian Cage) are walking backstage being frat douches. They run into Mark Andrews who is polite with them and they mock his UK accent. Mark Andrews challenges Sammy Guevara to a match tonight.
Short In-Ring segment between Kacy Catanzaro, Deonna Purrazzo, Carmella, ODB, Xia Li & Nia Jax. Armando Estrada comes out and says he loves seeing women get down and dirty so that's what we're going to see. He announces a Fatal 5-Way Hardcore match for the
ECW WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP.
Match 4: ECW Women's Championship: Hardcore Match: Kacy Catanzaro vs. Deonna Purrazzo vs. ODB vs. Xia Li vs. Nia Jax
Pretty gory match as ODB gets busted open midway through the match and isn't too much of a factor in the second half. Nia Jax shows domination through a couple different points in the match. Deonna got help from Carmella throughout 3/4ths of the match but they both get ran over by Nia Jax towards the end. When Deonna regains consciousness, she goes after Kacy in the ring but Kacy is able to hit her finisher and get the victory while Nia Jax is down momentarily.
Winner: Kacy Catanzaro (pins Deonna Purrazzo)
Match 5: Sammy Guevara vs. Mark Andrews
Good fight from Andrews but Sammy Guevara wins cleanly, he gets a little bit of distraction help from the BroMans & Brian Cage tho who were on commentary during the match.
Winner: Sammy Guevara
Segment #5: F.B.I. (Tony D'Angelo, Nunzio & Johnny Stamboli) cut a very serious-Italian promo. Jon Moxley's music hits and he tells the F.B.I. to hurry up and get the hell out of there because there's an important match that needs to take place as he continues walking down the ramp for the main event.
Match 6: 9-Man Tag Team Match: MVP, Bobby Lashley & Carmelo Hayes vs. Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly & Bobby Fish (w/ Roderick Strong) vs. Jon Moxley, Seth Rollins & Sandman
Winner: The Hurt Business (MVP, Bobby Lashley & Carmelo Hayes)
Bobby Lashley pins Kyle O'Reilly for the win.
