McMahon, “We had quite a night at ‘Survivor Series’. Rick Rude is the new Intercontinental Champion, Lioness Asuka is the new WWWA Champion…”
Ventura, “And The ‘Macho Man’ finally saw Hulk Hogan for what he is!”
McMahon, “I don’t know about that! The ‘Macho Man’ will be in. The ‘Snake Pit’, we’ll see what he says, and we have a rematch from ‘Survivor Series’, Lioness Asuka defends the ‘Red Belt’ against Chigusa Nagoya. Let’s get thing underway.”
Match #1
WWWA Championship
Lioness Asuka (Champion) vs. Chigusa Nagayo
The rematch from “Survivor Series”. Nagayo is even more aggressive. She works over Asuka, and it looks like we might see a Title change. Asuka fights back. She stands toe to toe and slugs it out with Nagayo. Things begin to go the Champions way. Suddenly, two women hit the ring. They team up with Nagayo, and work over Asuka.
McMahon, “What’s going on?!”
Ventura, “I know who they are, that’s the Marine Wolves! One of the toughest Tag teams in Japan!”
The Marine Wolves, and Nagayo leave Asuka in the middle of the ring. Nagayo gets a measure of revenge.

Okerlund, “With me are the ‘‘American Dream, Dusty Rhodes, and his son, Dustin. Dusty, Jos LeDuc spoiled the introduction of Dustin.”
Dusty, “Jos LeDuc, you and I have battled all over the country, and in the end, the ‘American Dream’ always got the best of you! Now you go after my son. Dustin is going to be a great one, you can take that to the bank! But he’s young, he might not be ready for you...now...but the ‘Common Man’ is! Let’s get this signed, just like old times, Dusty Rhodes on one side, ugly old Jos LeDuc on the other, and the result will be the same, the ‘Dream’ with his hand raised!”
Okerlund, “Dustin, you are set to make your WWF debut next week, are you ready?”
