VS.
First Match: Tonight’s action begins with a huge women’s division matchup, pitting Natalya Neidhart against Gail Kim. These two excellent competitors battle it out for a solid 10-minutes until Neidhart appears poised to go for the victory. After executing a spinebuster on Kim, she goes for the Sharpshooter. Kim manages to fend her off and kick her away. Neidhart runs to the ropes and Kim complains to the referee, allowing Chyna to once again interfere on her behalf. Her interference enables Kim to give Neidhart the Eat Defeat and pin her for the win. After the match, while Chyna raises Kim’s hand, Trish Stratus sneaks into the ring without them noticing and hits Chyna with a chair! Kim attacks and knocks the chair out of Stratus’ hands, but then gets taken down with a Chick Kick! Stratus earns a huge pop for getting her revenge on them for what they did to her at Mayhem in Montréal 2015.

Second Match: Last week, Pentagon Jr. made his AGPW debut and after winning that match, he snapped Sho Funaki’s arm like a twig. This week, he faces Taka Michinoku, Funaki’s long-time tag team partner. Pentagon Jr. beats Michinoku in the same way that he beat Funaki, with a double knee backbreaker and the Pentagon Driver. After winning the match, just as he did last week, Pentagon Jr. announces that he must make a sacrifice to his master and so he grabs Michinoku by the arm at the wrist and hyperextends his elbow with a violent move that appears to rip his arm out of his socket. Michinoku writhes in pain, as Pentagon Jr. proclaims that he has, “Cero Miedo!”

Third Match: Batista is an angry animal and he’s looking to make a statement in his match against Justin Gabriel. He completely manhandles the South African flyer and plants him into the mat with a Batista Bomb, winning the match in around 3 minutes. At the end of the match, the Sensational Queen Sherri joins her “Animal King” inside of the ring to cut a promo addressing the return of the “Macho Man” Randy Savage at Mayhem in Montréal 2015, where he entered the ring and pretty much embarrassed Batista with an attack meant as revenge for putting him on the shelf two months ago. Sherri is in damage control mode, claiming that they weren’t embarrassed by what happened, reasserting Batista’s place as the most intimidating and dominant wrestler in AGPW and threatening Savage with career-ending, debilitating injuries the next time he dares to show his face on AGPW television.

Prince Nana, the savvy rich African Prince and heir to the Ashanti Kingdom, comes to the ring with his prize fighter, the “Bulgarian Brute” Rusev. Upon entering the ring, before even saying a word, the fans greet them with a loud “Rusev sucks!” chant. Prince Nana resorts to typical heel tactics like demanding respect, which gets them less of what they demand. Rusev takes the mic and fires back at the fans, shouting at them for being pathetic, disrespectful excuses for human beings and blames it on their country of origin. He launches into a diatribe about how weak Americans are and how much they like to shit all over the rest of the world from behind their own borders, just like the fans who are trying to shit all over him from behind the safety of the guardrail. He continues by challenging any of the pathetic Americans in the building to prove him wrong. Suddenly, out comes “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan – hoooo! He comes to the ring carrying a 2x4 and waving an American flag. “U! S! A! U! S! A! U! S! A!”
Fourth Match: This is an impromptu match between the anti-American Rusev and “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan, defender of the stars & stripes. Duggan gets the crap beat out of him early on, but finds an opening and rallies back with a series of clotheslines and knocks Rusev clear out of the ring. Hooooo! “U! S! A! U! S! A! U! S! A!” Unfortunately, Duggan’s attempt to pick up Rusev and bodyslam him doesn’t work. Rusev doesn’t come off of his feet and begins to mount a comeback with an overhead belly-to-belly suplex and it isn’t long before he floors Duggan with a jumping side kick and then puts the Accolade on him to earn a submission victory.

Fifth Match: Sexy Star makes her AGPW debut in a match against Allison Danger. Sexy Star impresses the crowd with her lucha libre wrestling style. She takes high risks by routinely going to the top rope. She even performs a springboard cross body press from the ring to the floor onto Danger. Sexy Star uses a swinging fisherman’s suplex to finish off Danger and earn the victory.

VS.
Sixth Match: This is the third match in the Best of Seven Series being contested by Cesaro and Dean Malenko, with the winner earning the first title match for the International Heavyweight Championship in 2016. Both contestants have one win a piece, with Malenko earning the first win and Cesaro winning the second contest. Most of this match is very technical. There is a lot of grappling a submission holds applied by both men. The pace and style would seem to favour the “Man of 1000 Holds,” however Cesaro seems to always have an answer for everything Malenko tries. When Malenko breaks from his game plan by going to the top rope and attempting a diving hurricanrana, Cesaro blocks it and plants him into the mat with a double powerbomb and then executes the Neutralizer for the win. Cesaro wins his second match in a row and takes a 2-1 lead in the series.

For the final segment of the evening, Mash-Up World Champion “Nature Boy” Ric Flair comes to the ring, where Jeremy Borash and AGPW Commissioner Billy Two Rivers are already waiting for him. They have a contract signing table set up, complete with table skirting and a red carpet in the ring. Flair cuts a short promo talking about how holding the Mash-Up World Champion is a symbol of excellence proving that he’s the man and that there are none better than him in the Mash-Up Wrestling Universe. However, there are still some people who stop him in the streets and say that you aren’t the man because you’ve never beaten AGPW International Heavyweight Champion Samoa Joe. Flair is going to change all of that at War on the East Coast and to that he’s going to give Joe the chance of a lifetime – the opportunity to wrestle for the biggest prize in all of wrestling: the Mash-Up World Championship! Flair said that he was giving Joe one week to decide, so now is the time. The contract is here. It’s time to sign it.
Samoa Joe comes down and has very few words to say. He tells Flair that he beat him once and he’ll be more than happy to beat him again. He tells Flair that he doesn’t mind putting his title on the line for a chance to be recognized as the undisputed best champion in the world. Flair sings his name on the contract and so does Joe. No physical altercation happens, although tensions start to rise as Flair tells Joe that he’ll never be the man and that he doesn’t have what it takes to become the Mash-Up World Champion. They shake hands, but Joe holds onto Flair when he goes to pull away. He holds him just long enough to tell him that he will win the championship and become the new man and that those things will definitely happen, even if he has to kill Flair to do them. Flair's face turns red and as soon as Joe releases his grip on Flair's hand, the Nature Boy backs away while warning him that his days as International Heavyweight Champion are numbered - Woooo!
