Dark Match:
Ken Doane enters the ring to face White Tiger and makes the referee wait to ring the bell while he prepares for the match by doing a set of pushups, jumping jacks and situps. Once he's ready to start, White Tiger mocks him by stopping the ref from ringing the bell so he can prepare with some comical karate poses before the match finally starts. Ken Doane defeated White Tiger in 5:15 by pinfall with a Sky High Leg Drop. (Rating: E+)
PPV:
The show starts with a video highlighting the year plus build to the birth of Global Force Wrestling. It features Jeff Jarrett and all of the new stars of Global Force.
We get live shots of the crowd at the Hammerstein Ballroom while Jim Ross and Matt Striker welcome us and the live crowd to Global Uprising and they are pumped and ready for action. They don't have to wait long as music starts and the beautiful Jayme Jameson is in the ring ready to announce the first match and out come Torrin and Bruce Hart Jr. followed by the Von Erich Legacy.
In a competetive but extremely poor match, The Von Erich Legacy defeated The Hartbreakers in 14:24 when Marshall Von Erich defeated Bruce Hart, Jr by pinfall with the Von Erich claw. After the match, both teams shake hands and pose for the crowd. (Rating: E)
We go backstage where Jeff Jarrett, AJ Styles, Doc Gallows, Ken Anderson, Tama Tonga, Bad Luck Fale and Cody Hall cut a promo about their respective matches tonight. It ends with AJ saying that after tonight Bullet Club is going to quite literally run the world of wrestling.
Back in the arena, party music starts and out from the crowd and dancing the entire way to the ring comes the south beach party boy, Nick McNeil. He gets on the mic and pumps up the crowd for a bit before he's interrupted by flickering lights and gothic sounding music as we look down the aisle and see the unannounced Shannon Moore making his way to the ring for the next match!
In a match that had an average crowd reaction and some decent in-ring action, Nick McNeil defeated Shannon Moore in 6:37 by pinfall with a South Beach Splash. (Rating: E)
McNeil leaves through the crowd, getting some "Oh yeahs!" thrown back at him. Moore starts to stir in the ring when suddenly the lights go out. There's silence for a few seconds and then we hear a voice whisper "The carnival is coming to town." When the lights come back on, Shannon Moore is propped up sitting against the turnbuckle unconscious with a clown nose on his face.
An uneasy and confused Matt Striker and Jim Ross send us to a hype video for the upcoming IWGP World Heavyweight Title matchup. It's the rubber match between AJ Styles and Tetsuya Naito.

Bullet Club comes out to celebrate with AJ Styles and streamers flow over him while he poses with the title. After the celebration, Jim Ross and Matt Striker are preparing to send us to the next segment when Dakota Darsow walks us behind them in the crowd with a camera around his neck taking their pictures and calling obnoxiously for them to look at him. Jim Ross asks what he's doing and he replies "I'm a paparazzi!" They look at him confused before he continues. "It's a gimmick. That's what I was missing, right? That's what dad always told me! That's why I was left off of the first show. Well, look! The dancing monkey is performing! Book me!" He continues rambling until security backs him away from the camera and commentators and we move to the next match.
The commentators explain that the winner of the upcoming 4 corners high-flyer showcase will be the first man to receive a spot in the upcoming tournament to crown the first Global Force Champion.
"Right Leg" Andy Ridge enters first followed by Charles Mercury, German indy star Pierre Le Prestee and Archadia wearing a mask that makes him look like a comic book hero. Andy Ridge is the first man eliminated when he's pinned by Le Prestee. Prestee then turns around into a superkick by Mercury for the next elimination. Finally, Mercury gets caught with a hurricanrana mid-powerbomb to get pinned by Archadia in 17:55. (Rating: E-)
Los Luchas and The SAT are backstage talking when Jaden Jeter comes up to them. He firmly tells the four of them that when they represent GFW against Bullet Club tonight, it's the beginning of his journey to redemption and he will not let any of them screw it up for him.
The first lady of GFW Audrey Miller is backstage and talks about the beginning of her journey when she faces one of the greatest female wrestlers in the world in Hamada. This is followed by a video hyping Hamada.
In a bout that had a good crowd and some decent in-ring action, Audrey Miller defeated Ayako Hamada in 10:56 by pinfall after hurting her leg halfway through the match and then suddenly rolling up Hamada as she went to pick her up. After the match, Hamada gives a little laugh before walking over to Audrey, hugging her and walking out. (Rating: E+)
Alberto El Patron is backstage talking about Jeff Jarrett doing the right thing for and not disrespecting AAA and the business by trying to use Bullet Club to help him win. He then warned Bullet Club that if they do try to get involved, they better be ready for a fight, too.
A video airs hyping Bullet Club and the chaos they've caused in their time in New Japan.

(Rating: E+)
Bullet Club celebrates another win for a bit before leaving the ring. Suddenly Jaden Jeter comes back in and attacks a tired Los Luchas and SAT with a chair, hitting them all repeatedly as he yells "I told you not to ruin this for me!"
Jeter leaves and officials come from the back to help Los Luchas and The SAT out of the ring. As that's happening, music starts to play and out comes JD Maverick who ignores both teams walking by him, seemingly fixated on himself instead. He gets on the mic and announces that he is searching for a valet and he's opening the eligibility to any woman in the crowd who thinks she can match his physical perfection. He looks around and picks out a beautiful woman from the crowd. He has her come in the ring, walks around her, looking her up and down and examining her, clearly liking what he sees. He has her take her pants down to examine more and suddenly he gets a horrified look on his face and points to a spot on her hip where a small, almost completely unnoticeable white spot is. "... Is that... a scar?" "I fell of my bicycle when I was 9." she says. He acts like he's going to vomit at the barely visible blemish before angrily yelling at her to get out of the ring, telling her he won't accept anything less than perfection. She runs out of the ring crying and out comes Xavier for the next match.
In an extremely poor match, JD Maverick defeated Xavier in 13:20 after the girl who was rejected by Michaels rushed the ring to trip Xavier as he came off the ropes which distracted the referee and allowed Maverick to hit a low blow and a rollup. The woman is dragged away by security as she screams for Maverick's attention. (Rating: E)
A video is shown hyping the upcoming AAA World Heavyweight Title match between Jeff Jarrett and Alberto El Patron.
In a bout that had a good crowd and good action, Alberto El Patrón defeated Jeff Jarrett in 16:47 by submission with a Rolling Cross Armbreaker to retain the AAA World Heavyweight Championship. Bullet Club tried to interfere in the match but before they could do anything, the majority of the GFW roster including Nick McNeil, White Tiger, Archadia, Pierre Le Prestee, Andy Ridge, the Von Erichs, the Harts and Xavier came out to stand in their way. Jarrett pleaded with them from the ring to mind their own business but they stood blocking Bullet Club from getting to the ring as El Patron was able to get the victory. The show ends with El Patron celebrating and Jarrett looking at the roster of his company staring down his Bullet Club stable mates as he nurses his right arm. (Rating: D+)
