Card rating: *** 1/2

Card overview:

Randy Orton wlaks out tonight with the GPW World Title still on his shoulder. But, you have to think that Evolution has alot to do with him keeping the belt. Will Cena try for revenge next week?

Chris Sabin seems to have turned his back on Seth Skyfire, saying that its all Skyfire's fault that their short-lived team failed. What will Sabin do next in his quest for recognition?

Speaking of recognition: You have to think that Jeff Jarrett didn't mean for Shane Douglas to answer his open challenge that wold have gotten the booking teams attention. But now "The Franchise" has made it known he is here in GPW & he refuses to be overlooked again. How long until e comes after Randy Orton's gold?

Batista again dominated his opponent but at least this time Chris Jericho didn't suffer an injury like RVD.

AJ Styles made a nearly successful return to action tonight against Ric Flair. You have to wonder what would have happened if Chris Jericho didn't get involved.

Lance Storm & Chris Candido are former ECW Tag Team Champons and now next week they will face AMW for the GPW belts. AMW may just be the team of the future since they defeated the legendary Steiner Brothers tonight. The Steiners, gracious in defeat told the commissioner that they were through with the company for now but may return somday.

Next week:
AMW vs Candido & Storm
Jeff Jarrett vs Shane Douglas
plus some much more action we can't even list it all here
