MAIN EVENT
Non-Title Match
No Disqualification - Strap Match
**If the Destroyer wins he gets a title shot next card
The Mummy (/w Shiek Fal-Had)  v  The Destroyer (/w Chris Lyon)
This match was made out of the fallout from the main event last card. Lyon was to keep an eye on the Shiek. It was a brawl of a match that the Mummy controlled the first 10 minutes, and bloodied the masked head of the Destroyer as well as his arm and chest. When the Destroyer took over control it was also time for the Shiek to try and interfere to help his man. He tried to pass a nail file to the Mummy but it was intercepted by Chris Lyon. The Destroyer was now in charge of the match and getting the fans all revved up. At this point Chris Lyon must have thought his work was done as he left the ringside area. Soon enough the Mummy was able to regain control thanks to a timely chair shot by the Shiek. The Mummy dragged The Destroyer to all four corners for the win.
[The Mummy beat The Destroyer in a strap match at 14:11]
 
After the match the Mummy and the Shiek continued to beat up on the Destroyer. Finally it was Brad Rheinghans and Steve Olsonoski coming to his aid. Chris Lyon was conspicuous by his absence.
