Playing to huge heel heat, Chris Jericho opens the show by hosting his talk show, the Highlight Reel, and introducing his very special guest: Chris Jericho! He says that it is his gift to Edmonton and tells the fans to drink it in. Then, he interviews himself to explain that Bret Hart got what he deserved because he was jealous of the fact that Jericho is the best in the world at what he does. Jericho claims that Hart can’t accept that he is the best there was and nothing more and so he had to sabotage a perfectly good friendship by costing Jericho his match against the “Macho Man” Randy Savage, which cost him the chance to enter Rocky Mountain Warfare as the very last entrant into the match. For that reason, he paid him back right where it hurt the most – by taking his chance at gold away from him. Of course, Hart couldn’t leave well enough alone and so he made sure that Jericho would have a quick exit from the match. It all adds up to Hart not being able to accept the fact that he was the lesser member of their team. He knows it would tear him up inside to have these former North American Tag Team Champions move onto winning singles gold, but only to hold the International Heavyweight Champion while Jericho held the Mash-Up Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship. Jericho says Hart better watch his back because what he did to Jericho is unforgiveable and he will have to pay the consequences sooner or later.

Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Tyson Kidd
First Match: Rey Mysterio Jr. defeated Tyson Kidd by pinfall after giving him the 6-1-9 and the West Coast Pop. By winning this match, Mysterio has earned an Ancient Aztec Medallion from Dario Cueto. According to Cueto, anyone who holds one of these medallions is blessed with great powers. Another one will be given out later in tonight’s show.

Trish Stratus & Chyna vs. Gail Kim & Nia Jax
Trish Stratus & Chyna vs. Gail Kim & Nia Jax
Gail Kim and Nia Jax defeated Trish Stratus and Chyna by pinfall in this Rocky Mountain Warfare rematch. They won the match when Jax pinned Stratus after Paige came to the ring and gave Stratus the Paige Turner, leaving her on the mat to receive a running body splash from Jax. After the commercial break, in a backstage interview with SoCal Val, Gail Kim and Nia Jax reveal that they have gained a new ally in Paige, who says that she’d tired of being overlooked and that other wrestlers like Stratus and Chyna need to recognize that when they’re in the ring, they’re in her house.

Chris Jericho is in Dario Cueto’s office talking his ear off about the great injustice of Bret Hart attacking him in the Rocky Mountain Warfare match when, suddenly, the Blue Blazer walks in. Cueto addresses him as Owen Hart and asks him about his reason for stopping by and for wearing his ridiculous costume. The Blue Blazer denies that he is Owen Hart and then tells him that he has returned to AGPW because there are too many great injustices taking place. He accuses Dario Cueto of being incapable of reigning in the worst offenders, people like Pentagon Jr., who has broken the arms of many combatants, and Chris Jericho, who interfered in the International Heavyweight Championship match and cost Bret Hart the title. Jericho takes offense and calls Owen a quack. Dario Cueto says that if they both want to take justice into his own hands, now is their opportunity because he’s making a match between Chris Jericho and the Blue Blazer for tonight!

VS.
Petey Williams vs. Baron Corbin
Petey Williams vs. Baron Corbin
AGPW newcomer Baron Corbin defeated Petey Williams by pinfall after executing the End of Days. It was a fairly quick match in which Corbin’s performance was dominating. Williams got few moves in edgewise and didn’t really stand a chance against the “Lone Wolf.”

VS.
The AGPW Mega Powers vs. The Crew
The AGPW Mega Powers vs. The Crew
The Mega Powers (AGPW version) defeated The Crew by pinfall when Randy Savage pinned Cortez Castro. The pinfall came after Kurt Angle gave Castro the Angle Slam and Savage followed it up with a diving elbow drop. Tension between Angle and Savage was briefly teased midway through the match when Mr. Cisco approached Miss Elizabeth in an intimidating fashion, outside the ring, and Angle stepped in to defend her. Angle checked on Elizabeth to make sure she was okay and Savage took offense, showing off his trademark paranoia and jealousy. However, everything was okay between the Mega Powers in the end.

Bobby “The Brain” Heenan comes to the ring with Big Van Vader and he cuts a promo about how impressive Vader’s performance in the Rocky Mountain Warfare match. He puts the big sell on Vader before finally claiming that Vader must be the unanimous choice for who should challenge Ric Flair for the Mash-Up Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship Title at Journey to Greatness 2016! At this point, André The Giant comes to the ring to argue that point, reminding us that it was André’s power that planted Vader into the mat and caused the ring to collapse. Heenan is furious and Vader and André are about ready to come to blows when Cesaro interrupts. He codes down and reminds us all that he also was not eliminated from the match and that perhaps he should be the without a doubt choice for the title shot because, after all, he entered the match first and was only competitor to literally wrestle every other contestant in the match, and not a single one of them was able to eliminate him!
Here comes Dario Cueto. He says that everyone in the ring was impressive in the Rocky Mountain Warfare match and they all have a valid argument to be made for why he should get the title shot. However, since there was no clear winner, each one of them will have to show him why they should be the #1 contender. Therefore, he wants each of them to compete in matches next week to impress him. He will let them decide who their opponent is and the harder the competition and more valiant the victory, the more impressed he will be. And whichever one of them makes the biggest impression on him in his own match next week will be named the #1 contender. After finishing to make his announcement, Cueto leaves, and Vader attacks André from behind. Cesaro gets into it with Vader, but he fights back. As they trade blows, André knocks them both down with a double running clothesline. He tosses Cesaro out of the ring, then goes to grab Vader, but he rolls out of the ring and leaves. Who will impress Dario Cueto the most and earn the opportunity to wrestle against Ric Flair for the Mash-Up Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship? Tune in next week to find out!

VS.
Rhino vs. Bad News Brown
Rhino vs. Bad News Brown
In his AGPW singles match debut, Bad News Brown defeated Rhino by pinfall after giving him the Ghetto Blaster. Rhino came close to winning the match, but Brown stepped out of the way of the GORE, which caused Rhino's shoulder to slam into the turnbuckle post. Brown was able to take advantage and hit his finisher. As a result of winning this match, Bad News Brown receives one of Dario Cueto's Ancient Aztec Medallions. What is the great power that Brown now possesses? Hopefully, we'll find out soon!

reDRagon vs. The Vachon Brothers
reDRagon vs. The Vachon Brothers
reDRagon defeated the Vachon Brothers by pinfall when Kyle O’Reilly pinned Mad Dog Vachon after he and Bobby Fish gave Mad Dog their double team finisher, Chasing the Dragon. After the commercial break, in a brief backstage interview with Jeremy Borash, O’Reilly and Fish state that they have their sights set on winning the North American Tag Team Titles.

Sexy Star enters Dario Cueto’s office and pleads her case to him to review the referee’s decision of her match against Charlotte Flair for the AGPW Women’s Championship at Rocky Mountain Warfare. She notes how she clearly pinned Flair for a 3-count to win the title. Dario Cueto says that because the referee found blood evidence on the title belt and Flair was the only wrestler bleeding in that match, it was within the referee’s right to hear the champion’s appeal and reverse his decision. Unfortunately for her, the referee’s decision is final. However, he says that because he loves violence, he approves of the way she won the match (with a DDT onto the title belt), and she did in fact pin Flair, he’s going to give her a second chance at winning the Women’s Championship. However, first, she will have to earn it by winning a match against Paige next week.

VS.
Charlotte Flair vs. Ivelisse
Charlotte Flair vs. Ivelisse
AGPW Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair defeated Ivelisse by submission when she trapped her in the figure eight leg lock. During the match, it looked like Ivelisse might be on the verge of victory until Flair was able to give Ivelisse a stun gun, followed by a DDT, before finally applying her inescapable finishing hold.

VS.
Blue Blazer vs. Chris Jericho
Blue Blazer vs. Chris Jericho
The Blue Blazer defeated Chris Jericho by disqualification when they were brawling on the outside of the ring and Jericho grabbed a steal chair and began hitting the Blue Blazer with it repeatedly. Before the match began, Jericho announced that he was going to take his frustrations with Bret Hart out on his brother. This led to The Hitman coming down to the ring and getting into a brawl with Jericho. They brawled around ringside, through the crowd and into the backstage area before security was able to separate the two of them.

Sensational Sherri, Samoa Joe and Batista are seen in Dario Cueto’s office. Sherri tells Cueto that Joe and Batista want an opportunity to prove that they could be the most dominant tag team in AGPW. She says that they should get a match against the North American Tag Team Champions, Edge & Christian, after Joe and Batista absolutely destroyed and eliminated both of the tag team champions during the Rocky Mountain Warfare match. Cueto says that while Joe and Batista would certainly make an impressive team, he wants to see how well they can do together as a tandem before giving them a title shot, so next week he wants to put them in a match against a pair of old rivals: Kurt Angle & “Macho Man” Randy Savage! And the winner will be the #1 contender to the North American Tag Team Titles!

VS.
North American Tag Team Titles Match
Edge & Christian vs. The Brain Busters
North American Tag Team Titles Match
Edge & Christian vs. The Brain Busters
After competing in the Rocky Mountain Warfare match instead of defending the North American Tag Team Titles this past weekend, Edge and Christian put their championship titles on the line against The Brain Busters. It was truly a nail biter that saw multiple near falls. Even Bobby “The Brain” Heenan ran a distraction at one point so that Arn Anderson could give Edge a Double-A Spinebuster onto a chair. However, Christian was able to save the match and his team’s grip on the championship by breaking up the pinfall attempt. He picked up the chair and used it to clear Tully Blanchard from the ring. Anderson attacked him, but Edge got up, came up from behind and lifted him into an electric chair drop. After Edge made the hot tag, Christian took down Anderson with a missile dropkick before knocking Blanchard off of the ring apron and then giving Anderson the Unprettier and pinning him for the 1…2…3! Edge & Christian retained their titles.
