(Stay Strong)
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, NATHAN RODERICK!"
He came out to positive reception, running into the ring while clapping in fans' hands and posing on a turnbuckle before waiting for his opponent.

"And his opponent, from Moscow, Russia, "The Man of 1000 Bottles" VODKA MAKAROV!"
He carried a vodka bottle to the ring where he opened and drank it to the very last drop before crushing it with his forehead and laughing. The ref then called for the bell, starting the match.
Nathan backed up a bit as Makarov was bigger than him and got cornered into a corner. The giant tried to catch him, only for Nathan to duck and give him a few blows to the head. Makarov tried to catch him again, only for the same thing to happen once more.
The giant pushed Nathan into a corner and charged to receive a boot counter to the face. Nathan sat up on a turnbuckle and jumped toward Makarov who caught him by the waist and held him in a Bear Hug transitioned into an Overhead Belly-to-belly Suplex.
As Nathan rested in the ropes, Makarov charged at him, only to fall out of the ring after his opponent lowered the ropes. The little fighter then hit Makarov with a running dropkick between the ropes before getting out on the apron and hit him with a running knee strike to the head from the apron.
Nathan then somehow managed to bring Makarov back in the ring and locked him in a Fujiwara Armbar submission hold. However, the big guy managed to lift him up with his big arm and slam Nathan hard onto the mat, forcing him to let go.
Upon getting back up, he charged into Nathan with a Body Smash that knocked him down before getting on top of him and delivering violent smashes to his head. He then dragged Nathan out and started tossing him violently against the apron and security barricade.
He brought Nathan back in the ring to put him in a corner where he hit violent lariats followed by an Irish whip in the ropes and a Push-up Powerslam followed by the pin.
"1!...2!...KICKOUT!"
Makarov climbed a turnbuckle and went for his Diving Headbutt which Nathan dodged, letting him crash on the floor. He then hit multiple running knee strikes to his head before actually lifting him for a Side Suplex Backbreaker and the pin.
"1!...2!...KICKOUT!"
Nathan climbed a turnbuckle and went for a Diving Knee Strike which Makarov blocked and countered into a Vodka Slam followed by the pin.
"1!...2!...3!"
"Here's your winner, VODKA MAKAROV!"
The giant stood victoriously, glaring down at Nathan and applying another Vodka Slam to him, causing the crowd to boo him.
"Come on! That was uncalled for!" Joey said,
"He's not just here to win but also to make a statement: he wants to show that he's the new monster of UCW!" Bobby said.
