Nitro comes on the air with still pictures of the invasion that took place at World War 3. We see William Regal being put into a trash can and what we didn't see on World War 3 was RVD taking the World Title and giving it to Dean Malenko. We then go to the announce table where Mark Madden and Scott Hudson sit.
Hudson: Folks what we have just seen is the most violent invasion of all time. While the nWo and the ECW invasion were both violent neither did this the night they debuted.
Madden: With Ric Flair at the helm of XPW it could be a very dangerous invasion.
Hudson: Tonight we will see several XPW stars face ECW stars. Kevin Nash will be here as will Albert, Rick Steiner, Jerry Lynn, Ric Flair, Simon Diamond, Swinger, Dean Malenko, RVD, New Jack, Mustafa, Tommy Dreamer, Chavo Guerrero Jr. and Billy Kidman.
Madden: In the main event the rightful holder of the World Title, William Regal, will face the man that is holding it in Dean Malenko. Also the TV Champion Disqo faces Jerry Lynn and Juvi takes on former Cruiserweight champion Kidman.
Hudson: Right now lets go to the ring where Kevin Nash is facing Bill DeMott.
Nash made short work of DeMott. As the two men locked up Nash's former partner Scott Hall came out. This distracted DeMott for a second and Nash took over. Nash hit his boot and then the Power Bomb for the win.
Kevin Nash pinned Bill DeMott with the Jackknife
Power Bomb in 0:02:49.

After the match Hall came into the ring. Hall put up the old Wolfpac sign and Nash seemed ready to comply when he kicked Hall in the gut and gave him the Power Bomb.
Nash: You left us for the 'promise land' you punk ass bitch. As far as I am concerned we aren't friends. We are allies. We don't even know each other. The only thing you are to me is another bitch that will be destroyed by XPW!
Madden: I don't believe it. Those two have been through thick and thin together. I just can't believe Nash would turn his back on Hall.
Hudson: Who's team are you on Madden? You are either part of the Alliance of ECW/WCW or you aren't. We aren't going to be playing games like we did back with the nWo attacked.
Madden: Don't start getting into my face baldie.
Hudson: Lets go to the back.
In the back we see for the firs time ECW and WCW stars together. Cyrus then walks in.
Cyrus: Alright guys lets quiet down. Now while most of us haven't got along in the past now is the time to put all that stuff behind us. Tonight the war begins. For whatever reason Paul Heyman has agreed to let XPW appear on WCW TV. Tonight many of our titles will be on the line. Disqo you will face a man I know well in Jerry Lynn. Juvi, you face a former friend in Kidman. Regal, you go back after your own title. And up next Shane, you and Chris face off with the XPW champions Albert and Rick Steiner. Don't worry about it though, the Alliance has your back.
Several of the stars start to talk amongst themselves as we go to break.
Candido and Douglas retained their Tag Team Titles with the help of Rick Steiner's brother Scott. Albert seemed and Candido were brawling on the floor when Scott attacked. He hit Albert with the trusty steel pipe. He then hit Rick in the back of the head setting up the small package from Douglas.

Disqo was able to retain his title in a very hard fought match. Jerry Lynn seemed set to win the TV Title when he hit his Cradle Piledriver but DI kicked out somehow. Disqo came back and hit a piledriver of his own. Lynn went for the Tornado DDT but Disqo countered by throwing Lynn who landed on his feet. Disqo quickly kicked Lynn in the gut and hit the Last Dance for the win.

After the match the Eliminators, Saturn and Kronus, hit the ring. Disqo turned right into a double superkick. They then gave Disqo Total Elimination before leaving with Jerry Lynn.
Madden: Damn it. I hate Disqo as much as the next guy but that isn't right.
Hudson: Of course it isn't right. Disqo is jumped from behind after a hard fought match. XPW might be digging themselves in deeper and deeper with attacks like that.
Madden: To be fair that might have just a receipt for the attack earlier by Scotty Steiner.
Hudson: Well they are invading us not the other way. Just who are you working for anyway Madden?
Madden: Don't push me anymore baldie or you will be sorry. Folks when we come back it will be Simon Diamond and Swinger facing the team of Lex Luger and Sting.
Diamond and Swinger picked up a huge win for XPW as they took out Sting and Luger. During the match XPW star Great Muta came to ringside. Muta got on the apron and Luger went after him. Behind Luger Sting and Swinger were fighting. Luger went to punch Muta but Muta blocked it. Muta tried to spit the mist into Luger's face but Luger ducked and the mist hit Sting. Luger then got clotheslined over the top by Diamond. Swinger gave the stunned Sting the Swing Thing for the upset win. After the match Luger chased Diamond and Swinger out of the ring. Luger helped Sting to his feet only to be shoved away. Sting then went to the back.

In one of the bloodiest matches EVER in WCW The Dudley's took the Mustafa Saed and New Jack. This went all over the building. Every weapon thought of was used including a sickle. All four men were a bloody mess. The Dudley's hit 3D but from the back out came Tajiri and Masato Tanaka. Spike tried to come out and help but it was still four against one. Tanaka knocked Spike all the way out of the ring with his Roaring Elbow. Tajiri then locked Buh Buh into the Octopus while D-Von fell victim to the 187 for yet another XPW win.

Kidman is the first XPW star to actually draw first blood against WCW/ECW as he takes the Cruiserweight Title from Juvi. Unlike the rest of the XPW stars Kidman did this on his own. Juvi went for the Juvi Driver but Kidman floated over and hit the Kid Crusher for the win. After the match Rey Misterio Jr. came out but just shook the hand of Kidman. He then helped Juvi to his feet and the two left Kidman standing in the ring with his new title.
