In the Ring: Brian Christopher
- Christopher finds out his mystery opponent and a Smackdown draft pick from RAW is- Lenny Lane!
Match #1: Brian Christopher defeated Lenny Lane by DQ
- this match ended when Lane got DQd for smashing Christopher with a steel chair as Striker and Zbyszko comment that it appears Lane has arrived in Smackdown with a different attitude than he had on RAW.
Backstage: Long tells the Sheepherders, Fantastics, and the Taylors that next week they and a tag team getting drafted to Smackdown tonight will be in a 4 way elimination tag match with the winning tag team challenging the Rock N' Roll Express for the Wolrd Tag Team Championship at Judgment Day!
In the Ring: Johnny Mantell

- as Mantell ran out of the ring from an enraged Koloff, Striker and Zbyskzo wonder aloud if this means Duggan is also getting drafted to Smackdown tonight
Backstage: Long is with Magnum TA.
- Long tells Magnum TA that he is scheduling a 6 man tournament starting next week to determine a new Intercontinental Champion as Harley Race had to vacate the title upon winning the World Championship at Vegasmania 2 and, as a result of Magnum TA's impressive victory over former World Champion Tully Blanchard at Vegasmania 2, Magnum TA will receive one of the two first round byes in the tournament.
In the Ring: Sheepherders
- Sheepherders find out their mystery opponents and a Smackdown draft pick from RAW are- the Armstrongs! Striker and Zbyszko point out this indicates the Armstrongs were the mystery tag team being drafted tonight from RAW who will be in next week's 4 way tag elimination #1 contender's match.

In the Ring: Abdullah the Butcher
- Abdullah the Butcher finds out his mystery opponent and a Smackdown draft pick from RAW is- Hacksaw Jim Duggan!
Match #4: Abdullah the Buthcer defeated Hacksaw Jim Duggan
- helped by outside distraction from Koloff, Abdullah the Butcher won this match via a Torture Rack Slam.
- afterward, Koloff and Duggan proceeded to brawl until Long arrived and informed Duggan and Koloff next week they have a match against each other and it will be a first round match in the Intercontinental Championship Tournament!
MLW Memorial Cup returns next month for 4 nights during Memorial Day Weekend!
In the Ring: Buddy Rogers
- Rogers finds out his mystery opponent and a Smackdown draft pick from RAW is- Stan Hansen!
Match #5: Stan Hansen defeated Buddy Rogers (managed by JJ Dillon) by DQ
- Hansen was in control when suddenly he got attacked by Rogers's fellow Horsemen- Blanchard and Johnny Valentine. Blanchard and Valentine double teamed Hansen until Bruiser Brody- who has a long history with Hansen- arrived to make the save.
