Show opens with a series of clips from Killer Kross' earlier feats, before he joined with EAM Promotions and became The Pride Champion. Nine men has held the title before him. But none of them has been so fierce. So dominant, as Killer Kross. Scene cut's and we get a scene with a dark room and one single spotlight. Into the light walks " Der ring general " WALTER. He does not agree with Kross being the most dominant, and he wants his title back! Then, from behind WALTER walks another person into the lights. He neither agree about Kross, and he cannot wait to het his hands on him. Lars Sullivan looks determined while he cracks his knuckles....We go to the Pride vignette...

We go backstage where we hook up with The Pride Tag Team Champions; Otis and Tucker. They celebrate that they are still the tag team champions with a small feast of chicken wings. Tucker asks Otis who his dream opponents for Grandslam 15 would be. Otis screams with his mouth full off chicken wings " The Rockers!!!! " Tucker laughs, saying that will probably not happen. Besides, Shawn is defending The EAM Championship at Grandslam anyways. Who else? Otis once again screams " D-Generation X!!!! " Tucker says...sorry to burst Otis' bubble, but that's not going to happen either. Try one more time. Otis screams for the third time " The Road Warriors!!! " Tucker shakes his head, just saying " Oh My.... " We cut to commercial break...
As we get back from commercial break, Tama and Tanga are already in the ring, as they are scheduled for our next match. They cut a promo about how since they arrived in EAM and Pride, they have worked their asses off. To get not a single title match in return. If Drake Younger and the rest of the staff don't see talent when it punches them in the brain. They get interrupted when Drake Younger's music cranks the arena speakers and the general manager walks out on the stage. He tell them that he agree, they do deserve a title match, and they will get one. But for starters, why not try to win tonights match first? Music once again cranks the arena speakers. A mixed reaction from the audience, as not everyone are familiar with the two who walks out on the stage. Or rather, the big one carries the small one. The commentators announce who it is, and it seems like the rumors going on for months now are true, they are here.

The six men have a stare down before Alexander Wolfe breaks the silence, saying that the cat drags in such strange and disqusting things these days. Might be better to put it out of it's misery. Imperium leaves 2x Brodie and PCO. They are neither pleased or impressed with those wannabi nazis' remarks. We cut back to the arena and our main event of the evening.
