[Jack Steele & Ricky Rice win the RCW Tag Team Titles]
**After last week's injury to Tommy Jammer at the hands of the DC, commissioner Baron von Raschke told Steele he could have a rematch with whatever partner he wanted. Steele was trying to convince the Baron to be his partner but the commish was reluctant. Then out came Rice, who seemed to recently have a falling out with the DC. But Steele didn't feel he could trust Rice. Finally Steele relented and gave him a second chance when the Baron offered to stay ringside and keep an eye on things. Steele and Rice had some shaky moments early, and after playing Ricky Morton for a while Steele went to make the tag but Rice was nowhere to be found, because he had been suckered off the apron by Enos. However, in the end the two came together and Steele eliminted Bloom from interfering to allow Rice to get the pin.

**Wow the top two belts change hands on the same night. DBS had Muraco on the ropes most of the night, but Muraco reversed things with a mule kick. After a couple scoopslams and clotheslines, he went for his piledriver. DBS though countered with a backflip, and then scooped up the champ and hit his own finisher to take the belt.

Main Event
RCW Heavyweight Title Match
Davey Boy Smith and Jim Brunzell battled to a no-contest at 7:41
[Davey Boy Smith retained the RCW Heavyweight Title]
**The match was back and forth with neither man gaining much of an upperhand. It had just started to change from the feeling out process, with mutual respect being shown between the two fan favorites, to a more intense match when out of the blue Dynamite Kid entered the ring ignoring the fact there was a match going on. He had a mic and started to ask Davey Boy Smith where he had been while DK was injured and waiting the return of the Bulldogs. He accused the champ of taking advantage of their friendship to steal the spotlight. When Buddy Lane tried to restore order he was ignored by DK. When things got heated between a stunned DBS and DK, Brunzell tried to play peace maker. Finally after Lane had called for the bell and thrown out the match DK threw down the mic in disgust and told DBS that they were done as partners.
