Golden Opportunity, Part One - Championship Wrestling presented by CarShield recap for July 30, 2023

Backstage, Jeremy McPete interviews Jonny Loquasto, who announces that the participants in the Golden Opportunity Tournament will not know who they are facing until they make their entrances. Also, the two wild card opponents will not face each other and will be in separate matches, and one wild card competitor will be kept secret until their match happens.

"Outlandish" Zicky Dice beats Jordan Cruz and "Poppin'" EJ Sparks to advance in the Golden Opportunity Tournament.

Backstage, we hear from "The Golden Boy" Jordan Clearwater, who says that his path to opportunity is up next because the entire event was named after and built for him, and when he wins, he will be one step closer to reclaiming his birthright and destiny in the United World Championship.

Backstage, The Bodega (Daddy Limelight, "King FatBoy" Papo Esco, Slice Boogie) discuss their upcoming matches. As "King FatBoy" Papo Esco hopes that The Bodega has his back and Danny Limelight mentions his world title defense next week, they also discuss getting Slice Boogie a shot at the United Heritage title.

"The Golden Boy" Jordan Clearwater beats Ju Dizz and Rocco Bellagio with the Goldi-Lock on Ju Dizz - who suffers a hurt knee after slipping on a springboard move - to advance in the Golden Opportunity Tournament when Rocco Bellagio is unable to stop Ju Dizz from tapping out in time.

Backstage, Jeremy McPete interviews Invictus Khash. Khash says that when he came to United Wrestling Network a year ago, he came there with a dream in his heart, and while he went through a lot, he won the Red Carpet Rumble. Shortly after that, Jordan Clearwater put him on the shelf, and as he recovered, he realized time was of the essence and his time to shine is now. He says that Limelight's time is coming to an end, and next week, he will make him tap out and become United World Champion.

Backstage, Jonny Loquasto is met by Shane Haste and Che Cabrera, who confront him for letting Invictus Khash cash in and putting them in a tag team title match while Bad Dude Tito is in Japan. After stating that Beef Candy (Richie Slade and Flex McCallion) "are no supergroup" regarding their tag team title defense, Beef Candy show up and confront them for their statement, and Jonny Loquasto makes it clear that their United World Tag Team Championship match will happen next week.

Slice Boogie beats "Main Event" Evan Daniels and Sledge to advance in the Golden Opportunity Tournament. After the match, Jeremy McPete interviews Slice Boogie in the ring, and Slice talks about how Danny Limelight beat him in last year's tournament and how The Bodega did not end after that, then says he and Danny are on the same time and that he is here to be the MVP, not to win a Most Improved Player or Sixth Man award.
