The Cocky Canuck Dan Parker vs. Jarrett Diaz
Dan Parker is from Canada. Diaz was billed from The Bronx and got a big reaction coming out. It was all Diaz early on as he had some good intensity and fast kicks and strikes. He chopped Parker hard. The crowd loved that. Parker cut him off but was backdropped to the floor. Diaz hit a leaping kick through the ropes to the floor. He hit a punt kick from the apron but when he went for another, he drilled the ring post.
This allowed Parker to attack the knee when they returned to the ring. He cinched in a figure four leglock but Diaz refused to quit. Parker began using the ropes for leverage but was finally caught by the official. Parker nailed a Perfectplex for a two count. Diaz battled back but was laid out with a forearm smash. Parker went for another Perfectplex but the attempt was turned into a small package for a two count. Parker teased running with a knee strike but stopped and instead slapped Diaz, disrespecting him.
Diaz fought back and worked at getting his hurt leg working for him again. Parker still grabbed him in a rear chinlock but Diaz rose to his feet and drilled Parker to the mat for the pin.
Your winner, Jarrett Diaz!
Good babyface vs. heel bout that told a nice, solid story.
Samira interviewed Marti Bella about challenging for the UWN Championship tonight. Belle noted she and Big Mama have history and know each other very well. They have faced off and it's never been as important as it is tonight. She has traveled the globe and what better place to win the Title than tonight in her home town of NY. She has watched Big Mama win the title from the sideline but she will be the next champion.
They showed highlights of UWN TV Champion Zickey Dice vs. Evan Daniels from California. Daniels wins the title.
Backstage, Ray Jaz is interviewed by Samira. Next week, he'll be challenging for the Tag Team Championship next week if he can find a partner. He said his partner just texted him, but he's not coming. The implication was he was trying to get Little Guido.
Chris Dickinson vs. Caleb Walsh.
Dickinson attacked and slammed Walsh. He nailed a brainbuster and locked on an STF for the submission.
Your winner, Chris Dickinson.

UWN Women's Champion Big Mama vs. Marti Belle.
I am told this is planned to be the main event for episode three, so they are taping out of sequence.
Mama said she was taking the belt over her dead body. They argued as the bout was set to begin. They locked up and Mama backed her into the corner and drilled her, Marti avoided a charge in the corner and unloaded against her. Mama went for a clothesline but Marti ducked and went for a crucifix. No dice. She turned it into a sunset flip attempt. No dice. Mama dropped down in an Earthquake splash but Marti moved. No water in the pool!
Mama regained control and smothered her with a boot to the face. Mama nailed a Avalanche in the corner and then hit a hip attack. Marti kicked out at one. Mama mauled her on the mat. Mama mocked her for being a NYC hometown girl. Marti fired up with forearms and a jawbreaker. She went for a high cross bodyblock but was caught and slammed. Marti kicked out at two. Mama said she was NY trash. The crowd booed her for that.
Mama went for an elbow but Marti moved. Marti avoided strikes and nailed a forearm, then a hip attack in the corner. Marti drilled her with a double knee strike in the corner and covered her but couldn't get the pinfall. Mama drover her backwards in the corner. Marti came off the ropes with a bodypress for a two count. Marti said this was for NYC and went for a pedigree but was pulled up and slammed backwards into the corner. Mama missed a charge in the corner but kicked down Marti when she charged. Mama came off the ropes with a Banzai Splash and pinned Marti.
Your winner and still UWN Women's Champion Big Mama!
Backstage, Ray Jaz was speaking to someone. He needs someone with experience who is used to big title matches. He asked someone if they want to do this with him - it's Papadon, who agrees.
