- Dylan Black over Mystikal Dragon via submission.
- Once again, Huge Ref was distracted by trashy women in the crowd during Dragon's match. Seeing enough, Magic Ref interrupted to claim Tuesday Night Spotlight was the flagship show during his tenure while Huge Ref turned it into a "low rent version of Jerry Springer." The current head of Spotlight defended his programming choices by calling the Hall of Famer old and out of touch while he was presenting an edgier product.
- The Front Office did not disagree with the edgy direction except for the fact that ratings were down compared to Sunday Showcase, which was deemed the superior show. Spotlight was declared to be in a state of emergency and at Nuclear Winter, Huge Ref and Magic Ref would choose wrestlers to represent them, with the winning official controlling the brand. Huge Ref flipped off the Front Office and left the building.
- The Killer celebrated his GWA World Title reign and promised it would continue through Nuclear Winter. GWA World Tag Team Champion Mike Lio claimed one successful defense did not a legacy make and reminded The Killer he was in a dumpster in recent memory. Lio asked for another shot at the champion, even without the title on the line, and Dark Ref emerged to officiate.
- Non-title match: GWA World Champion The Killer over Mike Lio via pinfall.
- The Killer defeated Mike Lio in a close back and forth contest that saw each competitor kick out of the other's finishing move. In the end, the champion picked up steam ahead of his defense against Lio's Brotherhood stablemate on Sunday.
- Testimony of Truth called Veronica Moon soft, citing her voluntarily releasing her hold en route to losing the championship and falling in two consecutive matches in the Best of Three series. On Sunday at Nuclear Winter, it would be time to face her Truth as the two would meet in the first ever No Mercy match.

- The show opened with Dark Ref announcing an International Title bout and the second of three matches in the Dylan Black-Veronica Moon series, saying these matches were featured on his show and not Tuesday Night Spotlight simply because Sunday Showcase mattered more.
- The GWA World Tag Team Champion Dangerous Brothers then came out at proclaimed everyone was scared to fight the very best in the world. Johnny Bulldog noted that they tried to get International Champion Doomtrain to defend against one of them for days, but to no avail. The monster opted to defend against former family member Testimony of Truth instead, who in turn confirmed the Firestarters dead.

- The GWA World Tag Team Champion Dangerous Brothers declared after defeating every team with any sort of recognition on the roster, their next defense would be determined via a Tag Team Turmoil match between two randomly drawn teams.

- Johnny Bulldog over Austin Alexander via pinfall.
- Darksyde opened his duffle bag and pulled out GWA World Tag Team championships, claiming the ones the Dangerous Brothers had were very well made replicas.

Brewer said Brett's kind words almost made him feel bad about what was about to happen next. He then dropped the mic and kicked Brett in the gut, before buckle bombing him and hitting his own brother with two Destiny Drops. He asked "If I would do this to my brother, what do you think I will do to EVERYONE in the TOB?" As blood spurted from Brett's mouth and his eyes glazed over, Brewer said he'd fight like he never had before to reclaim his championship gold, and said everybody should fear the man with venom pumping though his veins. He then dropped Brett with a third Destiny Drop and dragged him to the outside and finished him off with a malicious big boot.

- The Crusher dominated Doomtrain in their rematch, scoring his second win over the monster, as well as second win in the GWA.
