From Tulane University (New Orleans):

Announcers: Jim Ross, Corey Graves, Veda Scott.

Vince McMahon opens, accompanied by what he calls "The Ruling Class": Charlotte Flair, Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley (minus the suspended Lio Rush), and Drew McIntyre. McMahon claims that the UWA Board of Governors will name him as the new commissioner of the UWA. He does, however, set up the balance of the card:

UWA Women's title: Asuka defends vs. Charlotte (despite the bruised left arm), Shayna Baszler, & the returning Tessa Blanchard in a fatal four-way.

UWA World title: McIntyre will challenge Brian Cage.

UWA National title: Lashley vs. Willie Mack.

IC title: Corbin challenges new champion Finn Balor.

Oh, you didn't know? You better call somebody!

Incoming Hall of Famer Road Dogg Jesse James is out to represent for Triple H, who is running a wee bit behind. Turns out Vince isn't the commissioner at all, as the UWA can't trust him to run a nursery. Road Dogg amends the card into its true form:

Non-title champion vs. champion match: Balor vs. Johnny Gargano (Huge pop).
National title: Mack defends not against Lashley, but rather, Moose.
UWA World title: Cage is defending in a triple threat against McIntyre and Matt Taven. The rest of the Kingdom, per UWA rules, is banned from ringside.

UWA women's title: It's now a 6-pack elimination match, with Mandy Rose and Raw champ Ronda Rousey added to the mix, and that's the main event.

As for Corbin & Lashley, they'll have to learn to function as a tag team, and their match is next!

1. Non-title: The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford) def. Bobby Lashley & Baron Corbin in 12:55 when Ford pinned Corbin after the frogsplash.

Matt Striker's Classroom returns. Matt's guest is Zelina Vega. Zelina appears in the Paige bio, "Fighting With My Family", produced by and co-starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as himself. Zelina plays A. J. Lee in the movie, and had a blast on the set, spending weeks studying video of AJ vs. Paige in order to get all the moves down.

Zelina also wants the winner of the 6-pack for the UWA women's title at Spring Breakout in four weeks in Panama City Beach.

2. World Cup semi-finals: Aleister Black def. Kenny Omega with Black Mass in 23:41. Crowd was standing at the end, and gave both men a standing ovation. The two shook hands afterward.

3. National title: Willie Mack def. Moose via DQ in 6:45 when Kevin "Killer" Kross interfered. They doubled on Mack until Braun Strowman made the save, as he'll face Kross later.

4. Non-title: Finn Balor def. Johnny Gargano via Bloody Sunday at 13:55.

5. World Cup, semi-finals: Jeff Cobb def. AJ Styles at 20:35 with the Tour of The Islands. Cobb vs. Black in the finals next week.

Vince is having it out backstage with Triple H, and wants to know who the new commissioner is. HHH says you're about to find out, and you're not going to like it one bit.

6. Non-title: Ricochet vs. Matt Riddle went to a time limit draw after 15 minutes. Ricochet earns a title match next week.

Triple H is out with Shane & Stephanie McMahon and Jack Hunter, the true "Ruling Class" of the UWA. HHH says that Vince "forgot his medicine again" and is acting out. Next week, it'll be TNT vs. the Street Profits vs. the War Raiders in a #1 contender's match to determine who faces the new UWA tag champs, the Usos, at Spring Breakout.

Vince is back out with Lashley, Corbin, & McIntyre, as Charlotte is getting ready, which Stephanie says is a good thing. A fight breaks out among the guys. HHH is fully recovered from the torn pec he suffered at Crown Jewel in November, and pedigrees Corbin. Lashley is sent packing, and McIntyre eats a 3D. HHH then announces the new commissioner----The World's Strongest Commissioner, Mark Henry!

The Hall of Famer walks out to a gigantic pop. Vince runs into the ring, but has no sympathy from the family or the Walking Weapon. He makes the mistake of dissing Henry, who promptly delivers the World's Strongest Slam to a big pop.

7. UWA World title: Order of elimination:

1st fall: Cage pinned McIntyre, still selling the 3D, at 8:00 with Weapon X.
2nd fall: Cage swept the match, pinning Taven after the Drill Claw at 20:51.

8. UWA women's title: Order of elimination:

1st fall: Baszler submitted Blanchard with a choke at 11:10.
2nd fall: Asuka pinned Rose at 15:44 with a buzzkick to the head to get her win back from Tuesday.
3rd fall: Flair pinned Baszler with Natural Selection at 20:55.
4th fall: Asuka submitted Flair with the Asuka-lock at 27:59.
5th fall: Rousey won the title submitting Asuka with the armbar at 33:51. Both the Raw & UWA women's titles will be on the line at Wrestlemania on April 7, but Rousey's first title defense as UWA champion comes in two weeks vs. former Women of Honor champ Kelly Klein.
