Alexander Hammerstone won a four-man tournament to become the inaugural National Openweight Champion at Fury Road.

Preliminary matches

The event opened with a middleweight match between Gringo Loco and Myron Reed. Reed grabbed the ropes for leverage to pin Loco but the referee stopped the pinfall count due to illegal activity which led to Reed arguing with the referee. The distraction allowed Loco to hit a kneeling reverse piledriver to Reed for the win. Reed then hit Loco with brass knuckles after the match.

Next, the tournament final to crown the inaugural National Openweight Champion took place between Brian Pillman Jr. and Alexander Hammerstone. Hammerstone moved out of the way of a diving splash by Pillman and nailed a Nightmare Pendulum for the win thus becoming the first-ever National Openweight Champion.

After the match, Contra Unit attacked the World Heavyweight Champion Tom Lawlor in the parking lot and kidnapped him and then cut off his hair.

Main event match

In the main event, Teddy Hart defended the World Middleweight Championship against Jimmy Havoc. Hart avoided an Acid Rainmaker by Havoc and nailed a Canadian Destroyer to Havoc which was followed by a hammerlock DDT for the win to retain the title. After the match, The Dynasty attacked Hart but Hart Foundation made the save.
