Mitchell opened the show with a win over Todd Quality in a King of the Road match to open the show and earn the title shot. Mitchell and Quality wrestled in the back of a trailer that travelled to the show. Footage of that encounter was shown on the screen and the pair continued the match from the truck back into the ring.
The West Coast Heavies, represented by Quality and Murphy, retained the ASW tag team titles with a win over Los Dawgs in 7:02.
