General Manager Jonny Loquasto is in the ring to start this week's show. He states that as General Manager, he felt that the perfect way to kick off this week was to bring out an individual who has been the face of the United Wrestling Network for over 400 days and has clawed his way up from the bottom to reach the pinnacle and become the United World Champion: Danny Limelight. Limelight heads to the ring, and asks the fans if they missed him before stating that he has not spent his entire time at home, as he has been on a world tour with the United World Championship. He states that he has been champion for over 400 days and has taken the title to Mexico, Puerto Rico and all the states in-between to be a fighting champion for himself as well as the fans. Limelight runs down his title defenses, such as Moose, Clark Connors, "Filthy" Tom Lawlor, "Outlandish" Zicky Dice, and Eddie Kingston, then mentions that the Red Carpet Rumble is around the corner and that someone else will be after his title. He brings up Slice Boogie, then mentions that he is first Golden Opportunity and the World Champion and that Slice is playing a game of "anything you can do, I can do better."

We hear from Savanna Stone, who says that she has lived in uncertainty and listened to others for too long, but she knows for certain that her time in The Institution ("Benevolent" Jack Banning, Savanna, Honest John) has taught her pain and growth, which equals struggle.

He says that they have to prove their critics wrong by separating, as both of them have improved under him. He says the split is amicable, and that they can ask him for advice, but he has to move on and walk a new path for himself. Banning says that after everything he has done, he still has to prove himself, but everyone should know who he is despite excuse after excuse, and that he will not let either of them be excuses.
