Tonight is a night that the RTX Universe has looked forward to for weeks: some of the most anticipated title matches in recent memory are going to take place tonight, including a ladder match for the World Tag Team titles, Bear vs. Lethal vs. Hardy vs. O'Reilly, Sky vs. Edwards vs. Shandi, LeRae & Ryder vs. Gallows & Omega, plus much more!
Inter-Gender Tag Team Match:
Candice LeRae and Zack Ryder defeated Amber Gallows and Kenny Omega:
Both LeRae and Gallows have been in RTX for a little more than two weeks, and both made their television debuts on the same night. Gallows debuted as part of the Bullet Club, and LeRae quickly took the side of the No Remorse Corps. On the August 6 episode of RTX Xtreme, Omega defeated Ryder after interference by Gallows. Then LeRae ran down and chased Omega and Gallows away before issuing the challenge for this match. Surprisingly the action got really out of hand not too many minutes after the opening bell. LeRae and Gallows battled to the commentators' table, where LeRae put Gallows through the table with the Nutsplex. LeRae got back in the ring just in time to break up the pin as Kenny Omega was trying to pin Ryder after the One Winged Angel. Omega threatened to superkick LeRae who struck him between the legs as Ryder was distracting the referee. Ryder hits the Rough Ryder on Omega and pins him to get he and LeRae the win.
RTX Divas' Championship Gauntlet Match;
Gail Kim (c) defeated Velvet Sky, Victoria Muharsky, Riot, Danger, Rayne Sky, Kailyn and Brooke Wylde:
The first two competitors out were Brooke Wylde and Kailyn. The two had a personal issue around the time of Fight Mania but neither had competed since then. A botch occurred shortly before the first elimination where Kailyn blocked a superplex by Brooke and the two went tumbling backward off the top rope to the floor. It seemed to give Kailyn an advantage, as she scored with a Shining Wizard and the Widow's Peak to eliminate Brooke. Next out was Danger, who had been out with an injury for several weeks. Danger made short work of Kailyn and eliminated her with the Danger Drop. Rayne Sky was out next. Again Danger gained the upper hand and dominated Rayne until the Danger Drop put Rayne down for the three count. Out next was Riot, Danger's partner in crime. The two battled as fiercely as they had in the WOW days until Riot backdropped Danger over the top rope. Riot dove over the top rope but Danger caught her and slammed her into the post. Danger put Riot back in the ring and went for the Danger Drop but Riot spun out of it and rolled up Danger to eliminate her. Angrily Danger stormed off. Victoria Muharsky was the next Diva to come out. Riot and Victoria both hit their respective finishers on the other, but were not able to put each other away. After Riot scored a second powerbomb, Danger ran back out and hit Riot with her own bat!! Victoria covered Riot and eliminated her. When Riot got back up she and Danger fought backstage. Gail Kim, the champion, was out next, barely dodging getting run over by Riot and Danger. As it turned out Kim eliminated Victoria with a victory roll counter. Velvet Sky was the final Diva to come out. She and Kim battled for another ten minutes before Kim hits Eat Defeat to retain her title.

| James Storm won the Hardcore Championship in a Triple Threat Match |
James Storm defeated Tiger (c) and Mike Bennett:
This was the rematch of the Hardcore Championship match at World On Fire. Except, despite it being a Hardcore Match, all outside interference was banned. I really didn't keep track of how this one happened. All I can tell you is that Storm hit the Last Call superkick on Bennett and wins the Hardcore Championship!
Ladder Match for the RTX World Tag Team Championship:
Davey Richards & Kyle O'Reilly (c) defeated The Young Bucks:
One of the best matches of the night. The Bucks put up one hell of a fight but in the end it was the champions who prevailed. At one point in the match, the Bucks placed Richards on a ladder set up between the barricade and the apron. Nick flew off the top with a Swanton of his own and put Richards through the ladder. Matt was able to climb to the top of a ladder in the ring and he tried to grab the belts but O'Reilly toppled the ladder and Matt fell nearly 20 feet onto his brother outside. O'Reilly then put his life on the line by jumping off the ladder with a Cross Body onto the Bucks outside the ring. When O'Reilly tried to grab the belts, Adam Cole ran out and struck him between the legs. O'Reilly fell off the ladder and Cole was able to get the Bucks up. The Bucks tried to grab the belts but Jay Lethal ran out and attacked Adam Cole. Lethal pushed the ladder over and both Bucks were crotched on the top rope. Lethal delivered a Lethal Injection on Cole. O'Reilly and Richards then both climbed the ladder and retrieved their titles.
