Four titles are on the line tonight and one of those matches will be determined in a ladder match. Those are always fun and sine Ace Romero recently signed with the company he’s in the match too.

Tonight will also see Ken Shamrock’s return to the ring as he faces Moose. Those two could surprise us and they’ve been hinting at Shamrock taking some unprotected chair shots to recreate a classic spot with The Rock.
