All six titles will be decided tonight. Will the Main Event Mafia (Bear, Chris Sky, Killer Kross, Chris Benoit and Velvet Sky) do what they announced they will do and take over RTX?
Sky won the title on February 4 as the Main Event Mafia was forming. And tonight she was able to defeat the so-called "Queen" and retain her title. Flair was twice able to get the Figure Eight on Velvet but both times Sky was able to reach the ropes to cause a break. As the referee tried to get Flair off of Sky, the champion removed the pad off the turnbuckle. As Flair came towards Sky, the champion slammed Flair into the turnbuckle. Sky then hit the Number 1 Stunna on Charlotte to retain the title.
RTX Intercontinental Championship Open Challenge Match: A.J. Styles (c) defeated James Storm:
Back at Hunt3d, Styles had informed Seth Rollins that the title shot he received that night would be the last. Styles retained the title so Rollins would not receive another shot at the title as long as Styles held it. As a result tonight, Styles issued an open challenge to anyone in the locker room. Out came "Cowboy" James Storm, who claimed to be looking for competition after the recent breakup of America's Most Wanted. Storm gave Styles a run for his money and came close to claiming the title on several occasions. In the closing moments of the match Storm hit the Last Call superkick but Styles got his foot on the rope to stop the pin. Storm attempted Closing Time but Styles fell back and drilled Storm against the post. Styles then hit the Phenomenal Forearm for the win to hold on to the gold.
RTX Divas Tag Team Championship Match: ODB and Gail Kim defeated Madison Rayne and Tara (c):
The first title change of the night involving four of the greatest female wrestlers of all time. Rayne and Tara had held the titles since November's Over the Limit pay-per-view when they upset Sasha Banks and Bayley and undoubtedly had their toughest challenge in Kim and ODB. At the end of the match, as the referee was trying to get Kim out of the ring, Rayne used one of the title belts to knock out ODB. Tara tried to pin ODB but Angelina Love snuck in and broke up the pin before chasing Rayne through the crowd. At this point the referee turned around and ODB got the tag to Kim. Tara was watching Love chase Rayne away and Kim took advantage. Eat Defeat on Tara and we have new Divas Tag Team Champions!

RTX Hardcore Championship Match: Chris Benoit (c) defeated Tiger:
Tiger looked to claim his seventh Hardcore Championship with this victory, but it was all for naught against the vicious Rabid Wolverine. One brutal spot in the match saw Benoit reverse Tiger's reverse suplex into a German suplex onto the exposed concrete floor. Benoit pulled out a table and placed Tiger on it. The champion then attempted his signature diving headbutt from the top but Tiger moved and Benoit crashed through the table. Tiger attempted a pin but Benoit was able to kick out. Moments later Bear came in and speared his former tag team partner, giving Benoit the chance to clamp on the Crippler Crossface. Tiger refused to submit and eventually passed out giving Benoit the victory.
