Promo for the Aug. 12 women’s special on Tubi featuring the Queen of the Ring Tournament, cage match for the UWA Women’s Title and announcement of the WCW woman getting the Playboy cover spot. Added is a battle royal for WCW U.S. Women’s Title of women not in the tournament.

We cut to a pre-taped promo from WCW U.S. Women’s Champion Thunder Rosa. If this women’s special on Tubi is about highlighting the WCW women’s division and giving all women on the roster a spotlight, she wanted to be at the center of that. She wanted every woman to get a chance to not only be on the show, but to elevate themselves by becoming the next U.S. Champion. If there is any woman out there who thinks they can step up and take the title from here, here’s the time.

Backstage, Tony Atlas asks Hulk Hogan about being left out to dry on Nitro against Bret Hart with out nWo support. “Hey, brother, you support the nWo, the nWo doesn’t support you.

But, Hollywood has your back, brother, next week on Nitro, I’ve got a handpicked opponent so you can really show how much Tony Atlas means to the black and white.”
