CHAMPIONS THE EVEN STEVENS (STEPHEN AZURE & STEVE SOMERSET) DEF. CAIN INDUSTRIES (ADAM CAIN & ANTHONY GANGONE) (W/ SILK E. SMOOTH)
- The Even Stevens put the VPW Tag Team Championships on the line against the former champions, Cain Industries. Adam Cain and Steve Somerset start the match for their respective teams.

Cain Industries is now in firm control of the match.

Smooth gets involved, which leads to Azure eating a splash in the corner from Cain. Gangone hits a big tornado DDT on Azure for just a two-count.
- While Smooth has the referee’s back turned, Gangone holds Azure up for Cain, who tries to use the belt. Azure gets out of the way, and Cain and Gangone are not on the same page.

- After the match, Cain and Gangone have to be separated, with Gangone yelling at Smooth to fix this.
