Johhny B. Badd and Sonny Siaki are out first, followed by former NWA Tag Team Champions, The Naturals. JBB and Chase Stevens start out. Once Sonny Siaki is in The Naturals isolate and double team him, working him over inside and out the ring. Siaki goes for a Springboard Double Clotheline and misses, but manages to roll through and tag JBB, who cleans house. JBB gets Chase Stevens on the top turnbuckle and goes for a Hurricarana, but Andy Douglas grabs Stevens and holds him up causing JBB to land right on his head.
