• Sgt. Slaughter, usually a man of few words demanded a rematch against Steve Regal after ‘his fluke win last week.’

Doug Somers d. Magnum T.A. with the SOMER’S SUPLEX – ★★ – Doug Somers picks up his second win and it’s a big one over Magnum T.A. Before the match it was reported that Buddy Rose would not be joining Doug Somers at ringside because he needed to ‘prepare for the main event.’

Main Event
Don Leo Jonathan d. Buddy Rose via DQ when Doug Somers interfered – ★★ – Originally Somers had told Rose that he wasn’t going to come out because he needed to ‘celebrate his win’ earlier but when Rose got in trouble, Somers appeared.
