* * * SHOW OPENING VIDEO PACKAGE * * *


We start off the show with pyro before joining Mauro Renallo and Wade Barrett at the announce desk ....

Valifornia --- SoCal Val, Deonna Purazzo & Hyan --- start out the show and Purazzo cuts a promo about how Valifornia is the class of Parradigm .... Purazzo says she will grace us with a title defense tonight but it WON'T be Bianca BelAir or Thunder Rosa or Hikaru Shida .... She has already beaten ALL of them .... She says Hyan is going to destroy Hikaru Shida in this street fight tonight ....

1. STREET FIGHT
Hyan w/ SoCal Val & Deonna Purazzo (UNITED STATES) vs. Hikaru Shida (JAPAN)
The women break out the weapons early on, and Shida has to battle interference from Valifornia .... Shida has Hyan at her mercy, but before she can hit Tamashii, Purazzo hits Shida from behind with her trademark kendo stick .... This allows Hyan to hit the Beauty Sleep (Glam Slam) putting Shida through a table for the 3 count  ....

We get a vignette continuing the legal angle between the Rottweilers and Paradigm management, notably Eric Bischoff .... Eddie Kingston and Clarence Mason make another statement where Mason says he just came from court and has very promising news .... he gives Bischoff an ultimatum to be the one to announce the ruling to the world or they will be there next week to address it and there is nothing he can do about it ....


2. Grizzled Young Veterans ---- Zack Gibson & James Drake (GREAT BRITAIN) vs. The North ---- Ethan Page & Josh ALexander (CANADA)
Good battle between 2 heel tag teams here that both try to 'out-heel' the other one .... The North attempt the Northern Assault on Drake, but Gibson is able to dump Page and then school boy Alexander from behind while he still has Drake in the torture rack .... Gibson grabs a handful of tights to secure the 3 count and GYV escape with a tainted win ....

BACKSTAGE - We get a promo from Tag Team Champions Matt Riddle & Pete Dunne .... Dunne addresses the Mustache Mountain heel turn last week and says they were his friends, but they obviously made their choice .... Riddle says ‘Bros’ are closer than friends and Riddle has his back ....

Mustache Mountain interrupt, but they arent here to fight .... instead, Bate & Seven say their issue isn’t with Dunne, it’s with Riddle .... Why is Dunne even teaming with him?  Seven sows seeds of dissent by insinuating Dunne is with them and he is actually the one behind their actions .... Dunne gets pissed and challenges Seven to a match next week ....


3. Shinsuke Nakamura (JAPAN) vs. Angel Garza w/ Brandi Lauren (MEXICO)
This match stems from Garza beating Hideo Itami with the help of Alberto Del Rio last week .... excellent back and forth match .... Del Rio shows up again, still disheveled with a full beard and looks like a homeless person .... this time Del Rio's attempt backfires, distracting Garza and allowing Nakamura to hit the Kinshasaa for the 3 count .... Brandi yells at Del Rio after the match ....

VIGNETTE - We get another vignette hyping the return of Zack Sabre Jr.


IN-RING SEGMENT

Bischoff calls Keith Lee & Bobby Lashley out to the ring .... Bischoff says these two are wrecking his show every week and it has to stop .... He is going to give them ONE MORE match .... he dangles the carrot in front of them, saying that the winner of that match will get a Elite title match, but THERE MUST BE A WINNER .... IF the match ends like their other matches have ended, then NEITHER man will get an Elite title shot for 1 YEAR!  Lee and Lashley both accept those terms ....


4. MONARCH TITLE MATCH:
(Champion) Deonna Purazzo w/ SoCal Val & Hyan (UNITED STATES) vs. 'Your Daily Dose of Protein' Reika Saiki (JAPAN)
Purazzo comes out and says she chooses to defend the title against Reika Saiki .... Saiki looks impressive early using power moves on Purazzo .... Purazzo grounds her but then Saiki fires back and hits a shining wizard .... Purazzo tries to bail out, but Saiki grabs her and tries to bring her back in the ring with a jackhammer .... SoCal Val grabs Saiki's ankle and trips her, causing Purazzo to fall on top of her with all her weight (Rick Rude Wrestlemania V style) .... Purazzo immediately transitions into Venus De Milo and gets the tap out win ....

POST MATCH: Purazzo puts the boots to Saiki and accuses her of disrespecting the champ .... Valifornia beat down Saiki 2 on 1, but Shida runs down with her kendo stick and saves her friend Saiki from the post-match beatdown ....


5. PARADIGM 'ELITE' TITLE:
(Champion) Chris Jericho (CANADA) vs. 'The Black Swan' Cara Noir (GREAT BRITAIN)
Jericho takes a more aggressive approach to this match this time, which is different from their previous encounters .... Noir takes a beating, but battles back .... Noir fires up, but runs right into the Judas Effect!  The force of the move knocks Noir all the way to the outside, and Jericho wants to take the easy way out and demands the ref count Noir out .... Noir somehow manages to beat the count back in at 9.99999 .... Noir fires up again and hits the Swan Woo dropkick but we get a ref bump .... With the ref down, Jericho tries to retrieve a chair from ringside but Pat McAfee tries to stop him!  This leads to Jericho decking McAfee again!  Jericho goes to hit Noir with the chair, but McAfee slides in the ring and grabs the chair away from him!  McAfee & Jericho are face to face and Jericho is talking mad shit to McAfee and pie faces him!  MCAFEE GIVES JERICHO THE PUNT KICK TO THE NUTS!  

McAfee grabs the ref and rolls him back in, and Noir crawls over and covers for the 1 ... 2 ... NOOOOO!  Jericho kicks out!  McAfee grabs the chair and is going to hit Jericho, but the ref catches him and stops him .... This backfires and allows Jericho to hit low blow on Noir behind the referees back!  Jericho shoves McAfee off the apron to the floor, then hits Noit with the Judas Effect for the 3 count to retain the title ....

POST MATCH: Jericho goes after McAfee on the floor and locks him in the Walls of Jericho!!!!  Officials come out and try to pull Jericho off McAfee as we go off the air ....
