Opening the show is a pre-tape featuring "Tiffany's Epiphanies" hosted by Tiffany Stratton. She runs down the card and gives her thoughts. At Roadblock, all roads lead to Stand & Deliver in Los Angeles over WrestleMania weekend.

Kicking off the show live from the sounstage at the Performance Center is a gimmick match where the loser gets locked in a cell. 

Tony D'Angelo (with Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo) defeats Dijak in a Jailhouse Street Fight

The rules are similar to a ambulance or casket match, except the prop is a cell. D'Angelo wins by putting Dijak into a cell and shutting the door. The match also played out like a WWE-style street fight. Other punder is used, like metal folding chairs, tables, a crowbar and such. 

Dijak piles chairs into the ring just before the show is ready to take its first commercial break. Dijak goes to the top rope, but the chairs come back to bit him. D'Angelo cuts him off with a chair shot, and D'Angelo then suplexes Dijak off the top rope onto a pile of chairs in the ring.

Dijak turns the tables during a picture-in-picture break. He also sets up an actual table during the break, much to the delight of the live studeo audience. They chanted for tables earlier in the match. 

Upon the show returning from the break, Dijak springboards off the top rope into a flying elbow drop on D'Angelo, who is laid out on the table. The table crumbles to pieces. Highlight reel type of spot.

Stacks interferes at one point, looking to help D'Angleo. That backfires when D'Angelo throws Dijak into the cell, and Dijak takes Stacks as a hostage. D'Angelo cannot bring himself to close the cell on Dijak while Dijak is choking out his charge. This allows Dijak to escape the cell, and he then boots Stacks in the face.

D'Angelo fights back, and he fires up on Dijak. Chairs shots by D'Angelo as Dijak feeds him his back. Low blow by Dijak to turn the tide. Dijak executes his Feast Your Eyes finisher, and Dijak goes to drag D'Angelo into the cell. Dijak is able to shut the door when Stacks throws himself in the way. Stacks takes Feast Your Eyes, and he is out. 

The save by Stacks allows D'Angelo to recover, and D'Angelo gets up swinging a crowbar. Dijak eats shots from the crowbar, and D'Angelo slams the door in Dijak's face to win the match.
