Lex Luger camped out in front of the arena last night in order to face The Giant for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship and not miss the match.
The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) beat Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge and "Flyboy" Rocco Rock). During the match, it is announced that "Macho Man" Randy Savage is barred from the building, that Steve "Mongo" McMichaels was seen with Savage in the locker room (which leads to Mongo replying that something is in the works) and that starting on May 27th, Nitro will be two whole hours from 8 PM to 10 PM Eastern on TNT.
Chris Benoit beats "Squire" David Taylor. During the match, it is announced that "Hard Work" Bobby Walker has been injured and has been replaced in the Lethal Lottery Battlebowl by the returning Diamond Dallas Page, and that "Squire" David Taylor will replace The Belfast Bruiser as "Lord" Steven Regal's partner in the Lethal Lottery '96 Battlebowl due to the Bruiser's injuries in his recent street fight with Regal. When it is revealed that "Macho Man' Randy Savage is outside of the building, Steve "Mongo" McMichaels leaves the commentary table to talk to him.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund, surrounded by police, arena security and officials, tries to interview "Macho Man" Randy Savage. Savage walks away, but Steve "Mongo" McMichaels come out of the building and calls out "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair for hitting on his wife Debra and "involving family," telling Flair he made a mistake and that he's going to do something about it. He tells Savage to chill out because he's got a plan. Savage tells "Mean" Gene he hasn't crazy yet, and he plans to turn WCW upside down. He doesn't care about his recent fine, but he also says he doesn't have a problem with "dragging a dead tag team partner to the ring" and doing what he has to do to get the WCW World Heavyweight Championship back.
"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair beats V.K. Wallstreet with the Figure Four Leg Lock after Woman gives him some leverage. After the match, he, Woman and Miss Elizabeth head to the nearby banquet table for an interview from "Mean" Gene Okerlund. Flair tells "Macho Man" Randy Savage that he plans to knock WCW "on its ass" at Slamboree. When Okerlund mentions Steve "Mongo" McMichaels, Flair implies he's done more in sports than McMichaels, saying that he got his fingers manicured while Mongo got his fingers dirty becoming a four-time Pro Bowler.
Lex Luger retains the WCW World Heavyweight Championship and beats The Giant by disqualification. During the match, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, Woman and Miss Elizabeth watch from the banquet table, and the view is wrecked when The Giant puts Luger through the banquet table, ending the match. Sting shows up and protects Luger from The Giant, and tells "Mean" Gene Okerlund that now isn't a good time for an interview as officials check on Luger.

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for September 11, 1995
It is announced that Vader has "gone AWOL" will not be part of the main event at Fall Brawl after not filing official paperwork to take part in the match. (In reality, Vader was fired from WCW after a backstage altercation with "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff, and never participated in the first episode of Nitro despite being heavily advertised for it. He would be replaced on last week's show by Lex Luger, whose appearance was also as much of a surprise.)
Sabu beats "Das Wunderkind" Alex Wright in his Monday Nitro debut. After the match, Sabu continues to go after Alex Wright and puts him through a table. The decision is reversed by referee Nick Patrick, however, and Sabu is disqualified for his actions. "Das Wunderkind" beats Sabu by reverse decision.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Ric Flair in the ring. Flair says the only thing missing from South Beach last night was Arn Anderson at his side. Flair says that they were great friends and that they ruled the world. Suddenly, Lex Luger shows up dressed to wrestle, and Flair tries to flatter him. Lex Luger says Flair is just too much, and Flair says that Hogan will fall to Luger tonight.
Sting retains the WCW United States Championship against the debuting Michael Wallstreet - now known as V.K. Wallstreet (a reference to Vincent Kennedy McMahon from the WWF).
This Saturday on WCW Saturday Night: Disco Inferno debutes! The Renegade battles Maxx Muscle! Big Bubba takes on Dave Sullivan! Flyin' Brian takes on "Das Wunderkind" Alex Wright!
"Macho Man" Randy Savage beats Scott "Flash" Norton when The Dungeon of Doom's (The Taskmaster, The Zodiac, Kamala, The Shark, Meng) interference attempt backfires after Savage pushes Norton into The Shark. The Shark falls onto Norton as he topples into the ring, and Norton is pinned under The Shark when Savage hits the elbow drop from the top rope. After the match, Scott "Flash" Norton yells at The Dungeon of Doom as they just leave the ring.
Hulk Hogan vs. Lex Luger for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship ends after The Dungeon of Doom (The Taskmaster, The Zodiac, Kamala, The Shark, Meng) attack Hulk Hogan, but not Lex Luger. Before the match, it is finally acknowledged by commentary in a straightforward manner that Luger was in the WWF before making his surprise appearance last week, and during the match, commentary takes a shot at WWF Champion Diesel, saying that he "never made it past mid-level status in WCW," a reference to his time here a few years ago. After the match, Sting and "Macho Man' Lex Luger get in the ring and clear the ring of the Dungeon of Doom.
After the commercial break, "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Hulk Hogan. Hulk Hogan wants to know what side Lex Luger is on, as does "Macho Man" Randy Savage. Sting, on the other hand, gives Luger the benefit of the doubt and wants him to replace Vader on the team. Savage respects Sting's opinion, but wants to know why the Dungeon didn't attack Sting or Jimmy Hart. They have a team vote. Savage votes against having Luger on the team, but Hogan asks Luger if he wants in on the team. Luger says yes, on the condition that he gets another shot at Hulk Hogan for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship down the line. Luger is officially part of the team, but the unfinished business causes even more rancor among Hulk and his team.
Next week: Paul Orndorff vs. Johnny B. Badd! This Sunday on Main Event! AlsoThe Nasty Boys (Jerry Sags and Brian Knobbs) or The American Males (Marcus Alexander Bagwell and Scotty Riggs)? The Blue Bloods ("Lord" Steven Regal and "Squire" David Taylor) will be taking one one of those team next week!
