Bobby Heenan : Ted Dibiase tonight it all comes to an end . You were a great champion one of 3 men to defeat Dusty Rhodes in a two calendar year . Tonight it’s about the this man .
The head of the table . The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns . After all this time of being ignored , pushed to the side and caught in a land where nothing moved , he takes his place among the greats .
Roman : Ted Dibiase , you will acknowledge me !
Ted Dibase : So many men have walked through these doors and tried to take what I got and all of them failed . Now tonight , I face a 6 foot 8 inch tall killer . A man who is a renegade . Well , I don’t know the meaning of the word quit . Tonight Roman Reigns I’ll put you in the Billion Dollar Dream and you will be another victim like everybody else .

Break
America’s Most Wanted vs The Mulkey bros : This is a massacre , AMW hits Death Sentence on Randy for the victory . Heenan celebrates with a victory cigar .
Heenan and AMW join Gordon .
Gordon : Well gentlemen , I guess congratulations are in order .
Heenan : Solie , who gave you permission to shoot your couch and where it as a suit ? Look at these men . AWA Tag Team Champions . Men who should be in the Open , but weren’t together yet , but based on erased history alone should have been enough . Gotta love those loser humanoids who don’t want to admit their past .
However , I digress , these men ran out Trevor Murdoch and ran out the Creeds in two days time . Name another team that’s done this . Times up , nobody has . What you are looking at is team that is going to go down as the greatest team in AWA history .
Chris Harris : Tomorrow night in St . Paul , we got Kerry Von Erich teaming up with Brian Adias to try and take these belts . Big mistake boys .
James Storm : We’ll put ‘em the ground like everybody else . Von Erich , Adias sorry about your damn luck !
Gordon : We’ll be back .
Break
Out if the break , a bloody Tommy Rich lay on the ground .
Gordon : While we were away , Tommy Rich was out here , just coming around , greeting fans and talking to them , than this happened …..
Replay shows Buddy Rose coming out and attacking Rich from behind . Slamming his head repeatedly into the ring post .
Rose is at the podium with Gordon .
Rose : Go ahead . Booo me all you want . Tommy Rich has gotten in my way for the last time . He has kept me out of the AWA title picture . Well , Tommy is gone now . Tomorrow night in St . Paul , I take my first step . I’m going to beat Bobby Lashley and then I’ll earn some respect around here .
Rose takes his leave .
Gordon : We have women’s action ready to go .
Bianca Bel Air vs Ronda Rousey : Rousey really works over the arm of Bianca . Rosemary is at the podium quietly watching . In the end Bianca hits a fall away slam on Ronda and then the KOD for the win . Rosemary walks to the back .
Gordon : Seems like that young lady is making the champion nervous . When we come back , it’s our main event .
