Jarrett gloated about his victory all the way to the back with his hands held high.


PRESTORY: The rivalry among these two sets of four has been raging all year in various ways. The Great American Bash featured them in the first ever women's War Games match but things would not stop there. Pairing off into several more matches has caused the heat to continue brewing.

Sara Del Rey def. Gail Kim (18:27) after an elbow
AFTERSTORY: An excellent match saw Sara Del Rey pull off another victory in the end. One could argue that Gail returned too soon from injury to perform on this big event but she definitely put forth all possible effort. A very close match as Del Rey now goes 2-0 at Cyber Saturday events and both were some of the best matches of their respective years. After the match in a backstage interview, Jessie McKay made it clear that she wants another match with Sara Del Rey after the ending to their last encounter.That match will take place next week at Halloween Havoc!

Belle & Jazz will get their rematch at Halloween Havoc while former champs Jamilia Craft & Claudia will face runner-ups the Jumping Bomb Angels in a top contenders bout.


PRESTORY: Like several of the other champions, The Midnight Express have had a dominant year.

PRESTORY: Tensions rose when Brian Pillman returned from a few months off to save Big Bubba Rogers from a Horsemen attack. It all led to a tag match which in the end saw Pillman and Windham brawl to the back with officials unable to separate them. Pillman being a former Horsemen seems to now have a major grudge with Ric Flair's seemingly new hired gun. After what took place at the Ultimate Encounter, these two will meet one on one at Cyber Saturday with the fans choosing the stipulation!

Texas Death Match: (64%)
Taped Fist Match: (19%)

Pillman used consecutvie bulldogs to weaken Windham. After a back and forth exchange of brutal punches, Pillman drilled Windham with a DDT that spiked him in to the mat to keep him down for the ten count. Pillman felt much vindication in such a major victory. With the Horsemen scoring the earlier victory thanks to Jeff Jarrett and Pillman's win here, it seems Pillman and Jarrett could be next on a collision course!
