They aired a video feature on Nick Aldis vs. Flip Gordon.
Joe Galli interviewed Marty Scurll. He said he was here for the same reason he was at the Into the Fire PPV. He wants his shot at the NWA Championship. He said Aldis keeps ducking and walking away from him. Aldis said he's already beaten Scurll, so what is Aldis worried about? He's not going to let it go until he gets his shot at the NWA title. He mocked Aldis for having a non-title match against Gordon tonight. He said Aldis is "Strictly Business" yet a title match is good for business. Everyone who paid for the show deserves a title defense. Nick Aldis came out and Marty asked if he's going to give the people what they want, a title match tonight. The crowd chanted "Coward" at Aldis.
Aldis said he can't believe Scurll has the audacity to show up and act like he has stroke here like he does in Ring of Honor. He said ROH was a hot ticket when Aldis was headlining but now the hot ticket is the NWA. He said the grow-ups were talking now. Aldis said he's the hot ticket and he's the dealer and this is how it goes. If Flip wins, he'll be the new NWA Champion. If Aldis wins, any of their business going forward is on Aldis' terms...and Marty has to leave the building. Security showed up. Marty asked them to wait. He questioned if Flip really gets a title shot if he leaves. Aldis said he does. Marty said he would then leave and was escorted out. Aldis said that's why he's the real Worlds Champion.

NWA National Champion Aron Stevens vs. Scott Steiner.
Stevens was all comedy and stalling early, doing his karate. Steiner caught him in a corner and nailed a series of chops and tossed him across the ring. Stevens went to the floor and played to the crowd on the floor, claiming Steiner pulls his tights. Stevens argued and mugged to the crowd a lot. Steiner shoulderblocked him down and Stevens rolled to the floor again. Stevens tried to gain control but put his head down after sending Steiner into the ropes. He was drilled across the back and nailed with a suplex. Stevens was back to the floor - AGAIN - but this time, Steiner followed. He smashed Stevens into the podium and the ring stept. Steiner nailed a belly to belly overhead suplex, then nailed another for a two count. Steiner continued with the Flatliner and called for the Steiner Recliner but The Question Mark hit the ring and attacked him. Steiner put the Question Mark in the Recliner and knocked the referee to the floor.
