In the back, Baby Doll approached Don Muraco and Mr. Fuji and asked if she could join Mr. Fuji in Muraco's corner when he took on Jake Roberts tonight. Muraco said he didn't have any problem with it if Mr. Fuji was all right with it. Mr. Fuji looked at Baby Doll and told Muraco with a smile on his face, "Pretty lady always welcome ringside." Baby Doll thanked them and walked away as Muraco and Fuji looked to watch her leave.

Jake Roberts defeated Don Muraco (with Mr. Fuji and Baby Doll) in 6:01 by pinfall after the DDT. During the match, Baby Doll kept looking at a man at ringside. After the match, Roberts pulled Baby Doll into the ring and draped the snake over her. She screamed and ran out of the ring. As Roberts was putting the snake back into the bag, Tully Blanchard, who was sitting at ringside the whole time wearing a Four Horsemen t-shirt, a baseball cap, and sunglasses, jumped the guardrail and attacked Roberts from behind. Blanchard laid Roberts out with the slingshot suplex and then hit him with two DDTs. Blanchard then grabbed a steel chair and began to beat the snake bag with the steel chair.

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed Jake Roberts who was holding his snake bag and said, "Tully Blanchard, you want to try to kill my snake. You need to learn that when you try to kill this snake and fail, you only make him more violent, more vicious, more deadly. I just got finished speaking with Commissioner Nick Bockwinkel and he granted my challenge to meet you in a snake pit match at the LCW Uprising pay-per-view in three weeks." Mooney asked what a snake pit match was and Roberts said, "Bockwinkel also told me that next week on Showdown me and a tag team partner of my choosing will face Tully Blanchard and Don Muraco in a tag team match. If you want to know what a snake pit match is, just watch Showdown next week and you'll find out."

LCW Television Champion Diamond Dallas Page (with Kimberly Page) defeated The Iron Sheik (with Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie) in 4:37 by pinfall after the Diamond Cutter.

Ted DiBiase came out and pulled Virgil out of the ring and was almost grabbed by Page, but managed to get away.

From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko announced that the judge had appeared in the court room and that the LCW cameras were there live. From the courtroom where Stone Cold Steve Austin was appearing, the judge announced that he would be released and the charges would be dropped on the condition that he would agree to a settlement presented to the judge by the LCW Board of Directors. Bruno Sammartino, speaking on behalf of the Board of Directors, who were sitting with Sammartino in the jury box, said Stone Cold Steve Austin would appear on Showdown next week for a face to face meeting with LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway where they could settle their differences like men. In his office, an angry Calaway could be seen tearing apart his office and yelling at Nikita Koloff after the announcement was made. Calaway was so mad he threw the cameraman out of his office.

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed Superstar Billy Graham about his title shot tonight against LCW Universal Champion Nikita Koloff. Graham said, "You see brother, everybody wants to say that the Superstar has changed. He's more focused. He seems like a different guy, like he's taking a different path, maybe like he's even seen the light. The Superstar hasn't changed, daddy. You see, it's not about me being a good guy or a bad guy thing. It's about me wanting gold around my waist again. You see daddy, it's an addiction, brother. Once you have a taste, you need another hit. I helped that fat oaf Big Van Vader win the title and he didn't give me a title shot, the title shot that I deserved. I helped that Communist bastard Nikita Koloff win the title and he didn't want to give me a title shot, but this time I had a surprise in my back pocket and Commissioner Bockwinkel made the match and tonight daddy, I'm going to get me another hit. I'm going to feed my addiction. I've worked too hard for too long to be denied. Tonight is going to be my night and on this night that gold is going to be mine."

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed Rocky Johnson and Tony Atlas about facing LCW World Tag Team Champions The Wild Samoans at the LCW Uprising pay-per-view on May 27, 2007. Tony Atlas said, "Let me give you a history lesson, Mooney: In 1983, twenty four years ago, we defeated The Wild Samoans for the WWE World Tag Team Championships. In 2005, two years ago, we won the LCW World Tag Team Championships. In three weeks, we're going to win the LCW World Tag Team Championships again, but this time it's going to be from The Wild Samoans. We've done it before and we're going to do it again." Rocky Johnson said, "I'm related to The Wild Samoans. But tonight we're going to take on another branch of the family tree and we're going to break off that branch, The Islanders, on our way to the top of the tree, The Wild Samoans. And when we get there, we're going to do what no other team in LCW has been able to do: knock down the tree."

Rocky Johnson and Tony Atlas defeated The Islanders in 3:55 by pinfall when Tony Atlas pinned Tama after a flying axehandle from Atlas after Johnson hit Tama with a dropkick.

Superstar Billy Graham defeated LCW Universal Champion Nikita Koloff in 12:19 by pinfall after a superplex to win the LCW Universal Championship. After the match, LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway came to the ring with a cane and said, "This is bullsh*t, Superstar, and you know it. You know you don't care about these people. But most importantly, let me ask you this: do you really want to keep this title and stay on my bad side. Look, I'll make sure the record books recognize this as a win and this as your second title reign as the LCW Universal Champion, but you know who I am and you know what I want and you know I will do everything and anything to get that title from around your waist and back around the waist of Nikita Koloff, where it belongs. So we can do this the easy way or the hard way. You can either keep the title and I can make the rest of your life a living hell, or you can give me the title and I can give it back to Nikita Koloff and he will be a six-time LCW Universal Champion." Graham looked around as the audience urged him to keep the title. Calaway said, "Don't listen to these jackasses. Listen to me, but more importantly, listen to yourself, Superstar. I know you as well as anyone and I know you only care about one thing: being the best, being the Superstar that you are and you still can be without this title around your waist and me as your enemy." Graham looked around at the audience again and Calaway continued trying to convince him, "I know it and deep down inside you know it, too, so prove it, Superstar. Prove you are a real Superstar who doesn't need a title to define him, who doesn't need a title to be the best. Give the title to me, Superstar and let's put things back the way they were. Let's make things right between us again. Let's be the unit we used to be." Superstar hesitates, but eventually handed the title to Nikita Koloff and the three men embraced. Graham raised Koloff's arm in the air as Calaway placed the title around Koloff's waist. Calaway said, "Now that that's taken care of, I guess we have some other business to attend to. Bockwinkel get out here. Let's get this over with." LCW Commissioner Nick Bockwinkel came out and joined Calaway, Koloff, and Graham in the ring. Bockwinkel said, "While I don’t know if what just happened in this ring is even legal, that will be for the Board of Directors to determine at a later date, I can say that the LCW Universal Champion at this moment appears to be, once again, 'The Russian Nightmare' Nikita Koloff. And that works out great for the Board of Directors as far as I'm concerned regarding their decision on the new number one contender for the LCW Universal Championship and the man who will receive a shot at the LCW Universal Championship at the LCW Uprising pay-per-view on May 27, 2007. Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce that man now, the new number one contender…Jesse 'The Body' Ventura!" Ventura hit the ring and brawled with Koloff as Graham stood in the corner. After a few moments of watching Ventura brawl with Koloff, Graham went outside the ring and grabbed a steel chair. Upon returning to the ring, Graham hesitated hitting either man, but eventually blasted Ventura with the chair much to the satisfaction of Calaway. Graham and Koloff double teamed Ventura until LCW security officials ran out and pulled them off of him.
