From Mobile, Alabama:

1. UWA title tournament, 1st round/non-title: Jay Lethal def. Moose via Lethal Injection in 13:55. After it'd got out that Moose has been working through a torn labrum in his shoulder, it was decided he'd be one-and-done.

2. UWA title tournament, 1st round/non-title: Damian Priest def. Tony D'Angelo via the Reckoning in 6:30. D'Angelo tried, but was still selling the effects of his cage match loss to Pete Dunne on 2/15. Priest gets Carmelo Hayes next.

The Dirty Dawgs came out and bragged about Dolph Ziggler beating Tommaso Ciampa on Tuesday. A woman came out dressed as Stitch, a gender-fluid character from DC Comics, and said that Ziggler didn't really win the match. The unedited highlights were shown, exposing Robert Roode's illegal actions. Upset, Ziggler challenged "Stitch" to find a partner (seems he knows his comic books) to take him & Roode on. He never saw Jack Hunter come through the crowd, and step over the top rope. Double noggin-knocker sends Roode out, and Ziggler eats a Last Ride. Rematch with Ciampa. Next.

3. Ciampa def. Ziggler in 15:55 via Fairy Tale Ending (modified pedigree). Roode was ejected.

Backstage, to no one's surprise, it was Stephanie McMahon masquerading as Stitch. She blamed her father for NXT now resembling "a remainder center for Raw" while Triple H was away. Jack said that Ziggler will get a match with Bron Breakker, but it won't be for the NXT title, since Ziggler was DQ'd for interference. His pin doesn't count. Stephanie suggests that Breakker would defend vs. Ziggler in 2 weeks, just to shut the mouth of the "Show-Off". She also said Roode joins Toxic Attraction's Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne and Roman Reigns on the suspended list.

4. UWA title tournament, 1st round/non-title: Brock Lesnar def. Trick Williams in 3:55 with the F-5. Total squash, as Williams is green as grass.

It was announced that Pete Dunne would replace the injured Bobby Lashley vs. LA Knight. If Grayson Waller interferes again, he will be suspended.

5. UWA title tournament, 1st round: KUSHIDA & AJ Styles went to a 15:00 draw. Judges Kurt Angle and Chavo Guerrero voted for Styles, while Eric Bischoff went with KUSHIDA. Styles renews acquaintances with Shinsuke Nakamura in round 2.

In costume as Stitch again, Stephanie overhears a conversation among Toxic Attraction, Duke Hudson, and an unknown 5th party. Although Dolin & Jayne are suspended from competition, Mandy Rose and her "sponsors" are letting them backstage for "moral support".

6. Raw tag titles: The Street Profits def. Alpha Academy-DQ in 12:40. 2nd DQ against the champs in a week. On Monday, it was leverage (Chad Gable holding the foot of Montez Ford). This time, Gable blatantly used a title belt on Angelo Dawkins.

Duke Hudson issued an open challenge, expecting Dexter Lumis, since he seems to be coming between Dexter and Indi Hartwell.

Dead. Man. Walking.

7. Jack Hunter (w/Stephanie) def. Hudson in 4:45 with the Last Ride.
8. UWA title tournament, 1st round: Pete Dunne def. LA Knight with the Bitter End in 11:40. Babyface match for two men who were heels until War Games.

Meanwhile, newly appointed UWA Commissioner Steve Corino (succeeding William Regal) said that Alpha Academy are not getting a title match for the UWA titles because of Gable's blatant cheating. At Spring Breakout on 3/19, Alpha Academy will defend vs. RK-Bro, the Mysterios, and the Dirty Dawgs. The Profits will challenge the Viking Raiders for the UWA titles.

9. UWA title tournament, 1st round/non-title: Bron Breakker submitted Happy Corbin with the Recliner in 13:00.

2nd round pairings:

Breakker vs. Cameron Grimes.
Lesnar vs. Dunne.
Nakamura vs. Styles.
Priest vs. Hayes.

Also next week:

Eddie Edwards vs. Rich Swann.
Sami Zayn defends the IC title vs. Nakamura.
1st round action concludes in the UWA title tournament.
