UWE presents Monday Night Lightning!
Eric Bischoff, the new Lightning GM adresses the fans ahead of the inaugural episode of Lightning and the first ever UWE event. He announced 4 singles matches in which the winners would meet in a fatal 4 way for the UWE Title at the first Pay Per View, Bragging Rights. He also mentioned that a fatal 4 way cross brand match will be taking place and he will decide his participant next week. Bischoff also announced 2 former Intercontinental Champions, Goldust & Ezekiel Jackson will face off in a match later on for the UWE Intercontinental Championship.
Match 1: Tyson Kidd V Hunico.
The match starts with Kidd forcing Hunico into the corner. Kidd pounds away on Hunico in the corner before throwing him to the canvas. Kidd gets to the top rope before hitting an elbow drop on Hunico and then stomping on his head. Kidd taunts him a bit before picking him up and clotheslining him. Kidd laughs at the damage he is causing before attempting a leg drop. Hunico gets out of the way and rolls out of the ring to recuperate. Kidd bounces off the ropes and attempts to dive on Hunico who is standing by the barricade. Kidd goes crashing into the barricade and Hunico rolls him back in before getting a near fall. Hunico goes on the offensive with a lot of high-risk moves but he takes too much time pandering to the crowd and when he went over to pick Kidd up, Kidd got him in a roll-up for the two count. Kidd placed him in the Sharpshooter and Hunico tapped out.
Winner of this match: Tyson Kidd

MVP then takes control of the match executing a few big moves including a few german suplexes. MVP however, wasted too much time taunting and Finlay regained composure.
