This is a bit shorter of a recap, as I waited too long after the game and so I've forgotten some of the details.
-Opening promo. McElroy interviews Candy Crusher about winning the #1 contendership, and she talks about hard work and whatnot. Ace Darling comes down to patronizingly congratulate her for beating American Al, but promises that he’ll still be champion after Summer of Slam. The Big Time comes out and complains that he deserves a shot because he wasn’t actually in the match last week - he just came down to the ring, and if the referee wanted to count a pin when he fell on top of someone, there’s nothing he can do about that. He demands his opportunity at the belt. Baron von Krushenberg comes down next in a cast and neck brace and points out that he never lost the match either, he was knocked out of it by Candy’s illegal, nefarious tactics when she put him through a table.
-Ace steps in and says what the heck, if the Baron is so mad about what happened, he’ll put the title on the line against him as the main event that very night. Krushenberg pulls off the brace and cast and accepts the challenge! Big Time is still mad about not getting his shot, so McElroy makes a match for the following week between Big Time and Candy for the #1 contender spot.
-Next up we had a tag team match between Ben Jerusalem & The Liquid taking on La Bruja & The Apostle. La Bruja and the Apostle isolated the Liquid and battered him pretty badly. As Liquid went to make a tag, the Apostle’s nun pulled Jerusalem off the apron. She did the same thing a second time, and Jerusalem made her pay by blasting her with a superkick. Hot tag to Jerusalem, but after taking on both heels for a while he was caught upside down in the ropes and La Bruja finished the Liquid with her choke lariat.
-After the match, the Liquid was jumped in the backstage area and destroyed by the monster Mastodon.
-Ben Jerusalem cut a promo where he declared that if Candy were to win the championship from Ace at the pay-per-view, he wanted the first shot at her.
-In the main event, the Baron took on Ace for the SCW championship. He came down from a ladder with helicopter sound effects, feeling confident. Candy Crusher was on commentary for the fight, given her title shot against the winner at Summer of Slam. The match was relatively short, and early on one of the Baron’s servants was knocked off the apron and through a table. Seeing the broken table and Candy gave the Baron flashbacks of the previous week, and Darling was able to put him away with the Ace Crusher to retain.
