STASIAK: The action gets hotter and heavier each week. The most exciting wrestling in the world comes to the most exciting city in the world!
Outlaw Ron Bass vs. SD “Special Delivery” Jones: Bass is coming off a pin of the World Champion last week and he demolishes a capable veteran in this bout. Bass pins SD with the claw, right in the middle. Then, he joins Mark Lowrance...
LOWRANCE: You backed up your boasting last week, but fortunately for the Undisputed World Champion, it wasn't in a championship match...
BASS: Yeah, he doesn't have the guts! It will be even harder to get his John Hancock on a contract after last week! I've signed up for this Battle Bowl thing you have coming up on PPV! The winner becomes a very rich man and gets an automatic title match! (shows claw) Billy, I proved that you can't handle this! If I put this claw on you, I'm the new champion and you're done for, boy!

“Big Cat” Curtis Hughes vs. Jeff Sword: Hughes makes his UWA debut here tonight. He seems to have potential and he pins Sword after a shoulderblock off the middle turnbuckle.
MARSHALL: Earlier today, mark Lowrance spoke with the Undisputed World Champion...
VTR:
Lowrance and Haynes stand in front of the UWA logo..
LOWRANCE: Billy Jack, I'm sure I'm bringing up a sore subject and I apologize in advance. Last week, Ron Bass pinned you with his clawhold....
HAYNES: I apologize to the fans worldwide who were watching. You people deserve better than a World Champion who gets pinned in tag team matches. Bass is a big, tough dude. No excuses, he got that claw on me and it was all over! I promise to make it up to you all. Maybe by winning at Battle Bowl!
LOWRANCE: Maybe I was presumptious, but I didn't expect you to enter since one of the prizes is a match for a title you already hold.
HAYNES: 500 grand and a trophy that says I'm Lord of the Ring. I can't pass that up!
LOWRANCE: Tonight, you have an opponent from Japan named Animal Hamaguchi. What do you know about him?
HAYNES: Chris Adams wrestled him in Japan and said he was really tough. I'll be ready! I got caught with my pants down last week, but it won't happen again!
LOWRANCE: Your Undisputed World Champion, ladies and gentlemen!

Billy Jack Haynes vs. Animal Hamaguchi: The Undisputed World Champion in a non-title bout. Hamaguchi lives up to his nickname as he tears into the champ! Haynes comes back and gets the duke after an overhead press slam.
MARSHALL: Ladies and gentlemen, they are three of the best wrestlers in our sport! Any two of them can be a championship tag team! They are the greatest three man tag team ever! They are even a rock and roll band! There's nothing quite like....THE FABULOUS FREEBIRDS!!! Experience them right now!
