NWA RPW Television Title Match
Adrian Hawkins vs Frankie Valentine (C)
Referee: Dustin Robinson
Hawkins starts the match with an aggressive offense, but Frankie cuts him off and starts working his arm. Hawkins comes back and starts laying the heat on Frankie , often utilizing the ropes illegally. A few members of the crowd are vocal in this match supporting Valentine, but otherwise quiet. Frankie comes out on top with a single-knee facebuster out of nowhere.

“Marvelous” Michael Stevens & “Adorable” Anthony Andrews vs Sal Rinauro & Drew Adler
Referee: Danny Star
The match starts with Adler and Rinauro rushing in and attacking BFF. The match stays out of the referees control until Adler is taken out of the ring by Andrews via a bucket. From here, BFF do a good job at isolating Sal and controlling the match as referees Stan Robinson and Dustin Robinson tend to Drew outside and escort him out. BFF have very little trouble working Sal down with rapid tags and double teaming. Sal comes back by taking both members of BFF down in time for Adler to rush out and make the hot tag. Adler rolls up Marv, and just when Andrews comes in to try and save him Sal cuts him off.

Rampage Rules 4-Way Match to determine NWA RPW Television Title’s Number 1 Contender
“Do or Die” Chip Day vs Mike Posey vs Patrick Bentley vs Corey Hollis
Referee: Dustin Robinson
Chip Day and Hollis start this match off and perform VERY obvious rest holds and weak moves to act like they’re competing, but obviously displeasing the crowd. The match being contested as Rampage Rules as opposed to a strait 4-Way match was a bit questionable. The match turns into a dance off complete with jazz music with Referee Dustin Robinson sitting back agitated. Some of the crowd actually gets into the dance off but go back to booing when the music stops. Doc Gayton comes out and gets a mic and informs Approved that the loser of the match will be suspended and if no action takes place they all would be suspended. Immediately after that Approved members start turning on each other and the match gets serious. They get mad at each other while justifying that they don’t want to be suspended. Chip goes to kick Posey, who grabs and throws his foot off, but spins around and delivers it to Corey Hollis. He then throws Posey from the ring and pins Hollis for the win.
Chip Day wins via pinfall to become the NWA RPW Television Title’s Number 1 Contender
Corey Hollis is suspended from NWA Rampage Pro Wrestling
After the match Approved gets into a big argument resulting in pushing and some slight hostility. It’s noteworthy that Sal Rinauro was on commentary for this match, which means there might be some comedic conversation on the televised taping.
Hot Like Lava (Cru Jones & Shaun Banks) vs The Washington Bullets (Jon Williams & Trey Williams)
Referee: Stan Robinson
The match starts with Cru turning his back to the bullets and promptly getting a wedgie. From there Shaun tried to help but was quickly taken down and Lava goes out of the ring. Cru and Jon start off the match from here. Bullets take the early advantage until Cru manages to gouge Trey’s eyes and tag out. Bullets quickly regain control. Lava takes control of the match when Cru opens the ropes to cause Trey to fall through them. From here, Cru and Shaun isolate Trey in the ring and start wearing him down. Shaun and Cru do a good job at getting reactions from the crowd as usual. Trey evades an elbow drop from Banks and hot tags Jon, who proceeds to taking on both Banks and Jones briefly before all hell breaks loose in the ring. Cru goes to flip over Trey but Jon runs up behind him and rolls him up. Trey prevents Banks from breaking the pin.
The Washington Bullets win via pinfall at 9:22

They start talking about how nasty Verve is when Lex Lugar & Nakita Koloff come out and chase them off. They then go on to cut a promo talking about Verve being a healthy energy drink and it’s the official energy drink of RPW.
“Hit for Hire” Bobby Moore (w/ Manager Charlie Cash) vs Kyle Matthews
Referee: Dustin Robinson
Matthews gets the advantage early on, and Moore often resorts to leaving the ring to get away from him. Moore comes back with a turnbuckle powerbomb. The match goes to the outside where Moore mauls Matthews with chops and slams him against the Apron. Moore talks a lot of trash, which ends up costing him when Matthews brought him to the mat and took control of the match. Moore delivers a spear out of nowhere to take momentum of the match again, but it was short lived as Kyle got around him and delivered a swift kick to regain control. A lot of back and forth between the two, finishing with Matthews delivering a drop kick to Moore, who was on the top rope, taking him from the turnbuckle, then finally landing another drop kick followed by an inside cradle for the win.
Kyle Matthews wins via pinfall at 10:56

Matthews starts with a brief advantage, but is stopped quickly by Adonis, boasting his size and strength. He wears Kyle down with a series of slams and submissions working his back. Matthews starts building momentum about 5 minutes in but is shut down by Adonis, which got a silent crowd to start picking up. Matthews delivers a series of kicks and finally gets Adonis to the mat. He goes to the top rope but is cut off by Adonis. Right as Adonis goes for a sideqalk slam, Matthews counters and locks in the Hidaka lock.

Mikael Judas comes out to put Cash in his place, prompting Adonis to go out after him. Adonis is counted out while attacking Judas.
