CODY: "We've got twelve tremendous matches scheduled, and by the time this evening is over, we'll know who's competing for all six NAPWA championships tomorrow night!"

ANTONIO: "And there are some fascinating possibilities. Brymstone is still alive in two tournaments. Raine Barlow has opportunities in both singles and tag team competition. Jennifer Incredible wants her tenth Women's Championship. And Malice is determined to reclaim the World Heavyweight Championship."

JIM: "And Ian, don't think we've forgotten about you."

BRAHMA: "BRAHMA WILL CRUSH IAN LESABRE WHEN THE TIME COMES!"

COLT: "Gentlemen, we've got championships to win."
