All the lights in the arena flick off except for a single gold light aimed on the entrance stage. 'Come To Life' by Alter Bridge starts blasting out of the speakers around the arena. Mercer Prime walks out from the back as the rest of the arena is lit up with gold light. Mercer stands on the stage and throws up both arms and lets out a roar before heading down to the ring.

SINGLES

Winner faces Starla Gardevoir for the AXW Xperience Championship

vs.






The camera pans in on Mercer Prime and Chaz Anix already locked up, Chester Andrews pacing the ring on the outside in Anix's corner. Prime starts things off by landing a series of heavy elbows to the head of Anix before lifting him up for a belly to belly suplex. Anix gets to his feet in time to duck a clothesline from Mercer and catch him with a DDT. Chaz pulled Mercer to his feet, only to be met with a sitout jawbreaker. Mercer followed through with a big powerslam, hooking Anix's legs for a quick two count. On outside Chester is pounding the mat and screaming at the Ref. Chaz used his legs to toss Mercer away from him, kip up and come off the ropes, catching Prime with with a spear. Back on his feet Mercer runs into a snap suplex from Chaz. Mercer drives his elbow into Anix's face a couple of times, fighting his way up. Prime lifts Chaz up, delivering a rattling fisherman driver then pulls Anix up and whips him into a corner. Mercer charges but Chaz gets a foot up in time to nail him on the chin and land a standing moonsault on the downed Prime. Anix goes to pull Mercer to his feet, only to get caught with an STO by Prime, who wastes no time in setting Anix up for a double arm DDT. Anix is visibly dazed as Mercer lifts him up for the No Mercy (Fireman's Carry Cutter). Chaz fights his way out of it with several flailing kicks to Prime's gut. He drops the stunned Mercer with a Sexy Kick (Enziguri) then hefts him for another snap suplex. Anix covers, while Andrews cheers on the outside, the count gets a two before Mercer kicks out. Chester goes mental on the outside, screaming at the Ref for 'being blind!' Chaz rubs his face in frustration and looks as if about to start screaming at the Ref himself. Mercer recovers and plants Anix with a spinebuster, quickly following it up with a side walk slam. Before lifting Chaz up for the No Mercy (Fireman's Carry Cutter), this time driving it home emphatically. Prime covers but the Ref is to busy arguing with Chester Andrews on the other side of the ring to see. Fuming, Mercer Prime gets to his feet and confronts Andrews and the Ref, he starts pointing and gesturing, only to walk into an Anix Cutter(Running Cutter) from Anix. Chaz immediately hooks Mercer's leg for the cover.



ONE!!



TWO!!!



THREE!!!!



Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, CHAZ ANIX!



Mike Vincent: This win means Chaz Anix will compete again tonight as he faces Starla Gardevoir for the Xperience Championship.



Lily Luna: Mercer Prime had this match won, but once again, Chester Andrews swings things for his son's favor.



Chris Pierce: If Mercer Prime had this match won, he'd be the one standing tall right now, but he isn't. Chaz Anix is.



"Marvelous Me" replays as Chester joins his son in the ring. They signal that Chaz will be the next Xperience Champion.

Steve Corman is spotted backstage with Jack Adams and Damien Steele.



Steve Corman: Alright, so here's the deal. You're banned from ringside tonight, which personally I think is some bull. But Aries and Fhenix will also be banned, so it evens out. I talked to Caitlin earlier, and I'm here to do the same with you. Jack, you don't have a match tonight. I have no idea what the hell Mathews is thinking as you should be the one competing for the Xperience Championship tonight.



Jack Adams: Damn right I should be.



Steve Corman: Use the fact that you're not competing tonight to motivate you. Then, Luke will surely be giving you the spotlight you deserve. Damien, you've got a great opportunity tonight. You have the chance to not only defeat TO'A, but you could very well end his career in a match that better suits you than him.



Damien Steele: Make no mistake about it, Steve. Tonight will be the very last night that anyone sees TO'A in any kind of wrestling ring.



Steve Corman: That's the spirit. Tonight is just the start. I will win the AXW Championship, Caitlin will win the Women's Championship, and soon enough, gold will come to the both of you as well. We'll prove that the Corman Guys is THE faction to watch in all of wrestling.



-----







"Snake Charmer" hits as a strobe light show begins. A little bit of smoke pours over the stage. A little after 30 seconds, when the snare roll comes in, is when Caitlin Shay emerges from the back. She stops on the stage, and looks around the crowd, sneering, unhappy about having to be in Calgary. She makes her way down to the ring, where she climbs onto the apron. She takes a moment to talk down to the crowd before entering the ring. She walks to the opposite ropes, with her arms spread, and a smile on her face as if to say, "I'm better than you." The music fades out as we await for the match to start.







“Like A Prayer” by Madonna plays through the speakers providing a peppy ambiance. The entire arena goes dark momentarily as “Sister Inferior” Olya Latanya Oglovska enters from the ramp with a pair of opera binoculars in her right hand. Three spotlights highlight various audience members who have striking physical attributes. As Olya walks down to the ramp she fans herself with a bidder paddle. Upon reaching the arena floor and within clear eye line of her opponent, all three spotlights converge. Oglovska raises her bidder paddle to indicate she plans on procuring another priceless artifact for her exhibit.



Jen Brunelli: This next contest is set for one fall, and is for the AXW Women's Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, from Pinecrest, Florida, CAITLIN SHAY!



Caitlin looks across the ring at her opponent.



Jen Brunelli: And her opponent, from Saratov, Russia, she is the defending AXW Women's Champion, "Sister Inferior" OLYA OGLOVSKA!



AXW WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP

vs.





The match opens on Caitlin and Olya circling each other warily, both of them seeming to feel the situation out. They lock up and Caitlin throws a punch that gets blocked by Olya, who hits Caitlin with a couple of knife edge chops backing her into the corner. Olya then lifts her opponent and hits a fisherwoman’s suplex. Olya gets to her feet as Caitlin rolls away, getting some distance. She scaled the ropes and drove Sister Inferior to the mat with a flying crossbody, following it with a schoolgirl roll up that gets a one count. Olya bucks out of pin as Caitlin gets to her feet only to be brought back down by a hip toss from Sister Inferior. Shay catches Olya with a pele kick, pulls the blond to her feet and nails her with a pendulum backbreaker, covering for another single count. Olya kicks out again and plants Caitlin with a sombo suplex. Caitlin back on her feet climbs the ropes spring boarding off the middle rope. But Olya catches her in mid jump and locks her into a standing bear hug. Caitlin flails and struggles, getting one foot and then the other up on the ropes. She shoves backward, knocking Olya off balance, she spins and turns it into a jumping shoulder jawbreaker. Caitlin charges Olya as she gets to her feet, Sister Inferior whips the former champion into the ropes. Caitlin goes for a clothesline, but Olya ducks, as Caitlin turns to get away, Olya grabs her. The brunette struggles, but Olya powers her into a wheelbarrow suplex. Before either can get up Shay rolls over on Olya, half locking in Kiss of Death (Reverse STO transitioned to an Anaconda Vice). Olya cries out in frustration, she tries to wiggle to the ropes, but Shay tugs her firmly back into middle of the ring. Olya stills, before driving her knee into the back of Caitlins head repeatedly, forcing Shay to let her go. Caitlin frustrated, goes to leave the ring and get distance, The Second Sonja chasing after her, only to get Electric Chair Dropped by Caitlin before Olya could pull her away from the ropes. Caitlin rolls the champ up again and Olya kicks her away by the two count.



Both women are clearly upset, Caitlin seems to have had enough and slaps Olya. Olya just snorts and slaps Shay in return and it quickly devolves into a slap fight. Until Olya moves in and attempts to wrap Caitlin up with Gnostic Orthodox[Crucifix Pin]. Caitlin manages to kick out at two. She sets Olya up for the Shayplex (Half Dragon Half Tiger Suplex), instead Olya counters, lifting Shay up to turn it into a Rolling Fireman's Carry Slam. She stays on the attack and planting Caitlin again with a DDT. Caitlin fights away before Olya can lift her up again. Shay then manages to pull off a perfect surprise Broken Ending (Wheelbarrow Driver) but is too tired to capitalize on it. Olya pulls herself up and advances on Caitlin. Shay takes Olya back to the mat with an arm drag takedown and stops to wipe her forehead off, taking a needed breather. Olya leg sweeps Caitlin, only to be pulled back to her feet with Shay as she gets back up. Caitlin snaps off a single underhook DDT, only to get a near two count. Caitlin begins screaming in frustration and starts arguing with the ref while Olya slips outside the ring to take a break from the action. Once Caitlin realizes that Olya is no longer in the ring and the ref had started the twenty count, she jumps the ropes trying to follow Olya, only to get grabbed and Airplane Spun. Olya tossed Caitlin back into the ring, hanging onto the apron catching her breath. Sister Inferior beat the twenty count back into the ring and got charged by an enraged and dizzy Caitlin. Unfortunately for the former champion, she ran right into the bottom of Olya’s boot as the Champ lands the Soviet Sickle [Shades of Lance Storm's Superkick]. She quickly leaps over to cover Caitlin.



ONE!!



TWO!!!



THREE!!!!



Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, and STILL the AXW Women's Champion, OLYA OGLOVSKA!



Mike Vincent: Olya Oglovska finding new ways to win, I can't recall her using the Soviet Sickle to finish a match off the top of my head.



Lily Luna: If you didn't believe before, you better believe now. Olya is a legitimate competitor in the Women's Division.



Cole Haywood: I guess Olya used the month's notice Caitlin gave her wisely.



"Like a Prayer" plays throughout the arena as Olya is handed her AXW Women's Championship. She raises it high into the air as we fade to an advertisement.

We return to ringside where the arena is filled with Tables, Ladders, and Chairs.







‘Invincible’ by Adelitas Way hits and Acer Stone runs out from the back looking pumped up and energetic. He heads down the ramp and punches the air three times as red pyros go off at the top of the ramp behind him. Acer heads over to the fans and slaps hands with them as he gets to the ring. He climbs into the ring and works the crowd a little more before they join him in punching the air three times.







"Hate Me" by Blue October plays of the P.A. system as the camera pans over the arena stopping at the entrance way as Danny Hall,sporting a fur vest,strolls down to the ring stopping sometimes to yell at children,then when he gets to the ring he rolls under the bottom rope to sit in the corner then he stands up.....in the corner.



Jen Brunelli: This next contest is AXW's first ever Tables, Ladders, and Chairs Match, and is for the AXW Light Heavyweight Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, from Tampa, Florida, weighing in at 165 pounds, ACER STONE!



Acer punches the air three times as he gets hyped up for the match.



Jen Brunelli: And his opponent, from Camden, Tennessee, weighing in at 220 pounds, he is the defending AXW Light Heavyweight Champion, "Mr. Most Hated" DANNY HALL!



Danny raises his championship into the air before handing it off to Brian Sullivan as the title becomes suspended above the ring.



AXW LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

TABLES, LADDERS, AND CHAIRS

vs.





The match begins as the men begin to circle each other slowly. Their eyes are drawn above the ring where the AXW Light Heavyweight Championship dangles precariously, and neither of them decide to waste any time as they immediately lock up. Acer Stone slips Danny Hall into a side headlock, but Hall is quick to push Stone into the ropes and rebound him with an irish whip. Acer bounces off the ropes and ducks a clothesline from Hall and springboards off the ropes for a disaster kick, but Hall slides underneath! Both men bounce off the ropes again but Danny is a bit quicker, he stops short in the center of the ring and throws out his foot for the Shot Heard Round The World! Stone ducks it! Acer tilts his head back just in time and the kick misses his chin by centimeters. Stone slides underneath Hall on his knees and both men simply exchange looks at the moment; the kick attempt seems to have caught Stone a bit off guard while Danny Hall just seems surprised it didn't connect. Stone cautiously gets to his feet as the two circle each other once more. Outside the ring are various tables, ladders and chairs just begging to be used.



The two men lockup once again, this time Danny gets Acer in a headlock and Acer is the one to counter with a push into the ropes followed but an irish whip. They lock up once again but Stone is faster this time, and with a solid hip toss he brings hall down to the canvas. Stone drops an elbow on the momentarily dazed Hall before sliding out of the ring and grabbing a ladder. Hall sees this and is quick to slide out as well. Stone slides the ladder into the ring and steps through the ropes himself while Danny selects a few chairs to toss over the ropes and onto the mat. Danny gets back onto the apron but Stone is standing in the center of the ring, holding that ladder like a battering ram! Stone charges and tries to hit Hall in the face with the ladder but Hall steps to the side and boots the ladder out of the other man's grip. Stone approaches the ropes to try and grab Hall but Hall delivers a nasty kick to the side of his head. Stone stumbled back as Danny steps through the ropes and toe-kicks him and plants him with a quick double arm DDT. Danny begins setting up the ladder while Stone, after a few moments, uses the ropes to assist in getting to his feet. Hall approaches with a sneer and gives him a throat chop before pulling him to the center of the ring, quite close to one of those chairs Hall threw into the ring earlier. Hall gets Stone into powerbomb position but Stone flips him! Hall's upper back crashes onto the steel chair and the canvas beneath and he rolls in pain. Stone is on his feet as quick as he can, while surprisingly Hall follows suit. Acer adjusts the ladder and begins to climb but he's unaware that Hall has already recovered! Hall grabs him by his tights and pulls him off the ladder! The two men exchange blows before they both get the same idea and bounce off the ropes for a double clothesline! Both men hit the mat hard and don't get up for several moments.



Hall is the first to recover as he slides out of the ring to grab a table. Acer pulls himself up in the corner as Hall wastes no time in getting the table set up. Before Stone can rustle up an offense Hall comes screaming from the other side of the ring with a vicious Clothesline from Hall into the turnbuckle! Acer flops down into a sitting position and Hall begins stomping a mudhole in him. Once Hall starts to get bored of that he pulls Acer to his feet and over near the table, but as he sets up for a powerbomb once again Stone delivers a few nice jabs to the gut. Stone gives him a surprise headbutt which sends the bigger man reeling, and Stone capitalizes with a sudden yakuza kick! Hall drops to the mat and so does Stone for a moment, unable to recover his balance. Stone rises and sets up a chair while Hall struggles to rise with the aid of the ropes. Acer turns around and Hall charges him, but Acer drops him face-fist onto the chair with a drop toe hold! With Hall's face and upper body still on the chair Acer springboards off the ropes and hits a diving leg lariat on Hall! The chair snaps into two under the impact and from the way Acer rolls around afterwards it seems he may have hurt himself just as much as his opponent. Hall however is motionless.



After many long moments Acer comes to his feet and tries to ascend the ladder again, only to be stopped by Hall. Groggy as his movements seem Hall slides under Stone and grabs his legs, dropping him for an electric chair through the table he set up earlier! The table shatters but does little to cushion the impact. Hall eventually comes to his feet and begins ascending the ladder himself, but somehow Acer has recovered and begins climbing the opposite side! The two men exchange blows atop the ladder but Hall gets the upper hand, and lifts Acer onto his shoulders in powerbomb position! Acer struggles and delivers a few blows to Hall's head, but all the lopsided movement has the ladder tipping backwards! Hall nails Stone with a release powerbomb, sending the Floridian crashing to the mat, but the ladder is unable to keep its balance and falls, sending Hall on a collision course with the canvas as well! "HOLY SH!T" the crowd chants as both men lay in the ring, motionless. Acer and Danny are able to get to their feet at about the same time. Hall is quick to try again for Shot Heard Around the World! But Stone ducks it again! Stone springs off the ropes for a disaster kick which he hits! Hall stumbles back as Stone approaches and hits him with a big discus elbow smash! Acer gets to his feet and retrieves the ladder, though he's slow to set it up as he's still feeling the effects of that powerbomb, and the electric chair through the table before that. Stone makes it to the top of the ladder but he can see that Hall is beginning to stir. Stone looks at the belt, then at Hall, and then at the crowd. Stone just shrugs and steps up atop the ladder, springing off for a shooting star elbow drop! HALL ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! The crowd roars as Acer crumples to the mat. Hall doesn't look like he's very well off either as he stumbles when he gets to his feet. Danny goes for the ladder but hesitates when he sees Stone begin to struggle to his feet. Danny relents and strides over, pushing Stone against the ropes and delivers a few hard chops to the Floridan's chest.



Danny looks and the crowd and laughs as he pulls Stone near the broken remains of that chair from earlier. Hall plants Acer into the broken chair with a Dominator, and taunts him as he rolls around in pain. Hall steps over top of Stone and attempts to grab him by his hair, but Stone hits a surprise snap kick to Hall's Jaw! Hall staggers and Stone rises and gives Danny a few solid punches before whipping him into the ropes and planting him with a flapjack! Stone begins to pull Hall to his feet, but Hall nails him with a low blow, legal in this match! Stone falls to the mat and Danny locks in the This Will F'N Hurt! Hall begins putting on the hurt with the modified armbar, which has Stone groaning in pain. Hall wrenches Stone's arm backwards violently before releasing the hold. He stomps on Stone's head before pulling him to his feet.



Hall then shoves Stone towards the center of the ring and delivers a solid standing dropkick to Acer's back! Hall slides out of the ring on recovery and slides another table into the ring, but Acer is waiting for him with a chair! Stone charges and bashes the chair into Hall's forehead, splitting him open as the dazed "Mr. Most Hated" staggers, struggling to keep standing. Hall springs off the ropes, it looks like he's gonna go for some sort of springboard DDT but HALL COUNTERS WITH THE SHOT HEARD ROUND THE WORLD, AND THIS TIME IT CONNECTS! Both men collapse but Hall is eventually the first to his feet. Despite the blood running down his face he staggers over to the ladder and sets it up. Stone makes it to his feet as well but Hall intercepts his strategy, delivering a nasty chair shot with the same chair Stone used on Hall earlier! This splits Acer's face open too as Hall slowly begins ascending the ladder. But wait, Acer crawls over to the ladder and NOW HE'S CLIMBING UP TOO! The fans roar as both men exchange blows atop the latter. They flail and grab for the belt, but the ladder tips and falls! BOTH MEN ARE NOW HANGING HIGH ABOVE THE RING, GRIPPING ONTO THE AXW LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP FOR DEAR LIFE!



The belt comes unclasped and both men fall to the ring! An official slides in to confirm who has possession of the belt, but both men are still holding on! BOTH MEN HAVE POSSESSION!



Mike Vincent: The match is over, but who wins? Both have possession!



Lily Luna: I'm not sure, both have had possession the whole way through.



Cole Haywood: It's a draw, which means Danny Hall is still the champion!







Luke Mathews himself walks down to the ring to try to restore some order, and takes possession of the AXW Light Heavyweight Championship.



Luke Mathews: I was not anticipating this match to end like this. So, my job now is to make a very tough decision. So... the winner of this match... and STILL the AXW Light Heavyweight Champion, DANNY HALL!



Danny throws his arms up in celebration, and asks Luke for his title.



Luke Mathews: However, ALSO the winner of this match, and NEW AXW Light Heavyweight Champion, ACER STONE!



Cole Haywood: What?!



Luke Mathews: Danny Hall and Acer Stone are now the co-holders of the AXW Light Heavyweight Championship. If one person loses the title, they both lose the title. Good luck on your new venture, gentleman.



Mike Vincent: So the AXW Light Heavyweight Champion is Acer Stone and Danny at the same time.



Lily Luna: This will be interesting.



Luke hands them the title as he exits the ring. They're tug of war-ing with the title before the lights in the arena go out. The letters from the note given to Danny Hall appear on the jumbotron - "SDS". There's a distorted voice that is heard in the arena saying, "Your time is running out, Danny." The lights in the arena come back on and Danny Hall is laying face down on the mat. There's a person in the ring, their entire body covered with black clothing. That person quickly leaves as Acer Stone seems to not care about anything that has transpired and leaves with his newly won AXW Light Heavyweight Championship.



-----



An irate Caitlin Shay is walking down the hallway. Renee Peltier approaches her, and before she can even say anything, Caitlin just slams her down to the floor, and continues walking.



-----



A shrill scream echoes throughout the arena causing some people to have to cover their ears. The lights dim down and then the scream stops an a cackle replaces it followed by ‘Monster‘ by Disturbed.







White smoke fills the entrance ramp and then a tall figure slowly walks through the smoke. Tatau makes her way down the ramp looking intense and ready to fight.



Jen Brunelli: This next contest is set for one fall! Introducing first, from the Island of Samoa, "Lady Samoa" TATAU!



She gets into the ring and lets out an almighty roar then she tries to intimidate the referee by grabbing him by the throat and telling him that “I will win this match, you got that?” Tatau finally goes to her corner and waits for the match to start.







"Invincible" by Amaranthe hits, the fast pounding drums blaring loudly from the speakers as the lights dim completely. They come back to Lazuli standing at the entrance ramp, head down, the words 'The code awakens me' flash along the jumbotron behind her as she opens her eyes and brings her head up slowly. She walks stoically down the ramp, a smirk spreading over her face as she goes.



Jen Brunelli: And her opponent, from Cork, Ireland, ANDROID 18!



She stops in the middle of the ramp, raising her hands to actually sign the words 'I am Invincible.' Before continuing on and leaping straight up onto the ring post, she signs ''I am Invincible' one more time, entering the ring and awaiting the match to start.



SINGLES

vs.





Android 18 immediately hits stiff kicks to the leg of Tatau. Android 18 doesn’t let up as she clearly caught her larger opponent off guard, running the ropes and hitting a high impact knee right to the skull of Tatau! The monster buckles as Android hits a mule kick, then connects with another high knee finally toppling the monster as she hits the mat!



Android, fired up, rains down with mounted punches before latching on an armbar, but Tatau quickly kicks her off. Android hits a drop kick, once again taking the larger woman back, but an overzealous 18 tries for a double underhook facebuster but is quickly countered with a lethal throat thrust, and then a snap DDT! Tatau goes for a cover, but only gets a 2 count. Tatau yanks Android up from a seated position into an inverted suplex slam, once again following it with a pin, getting the same result, Android kicking out at 2.



Seeing Android down, Tatau goes for a second rope diving senton, but she took too much time, as Android moves out of the way! The fans are rallying Android 18, who stands, sees Tatau down and immediately hits Graceful Orbit (Lionsault) attempting a pin that Tatau kicks out of a 2.



Undettered, Android motions for Tatau to get up as she backs up, yells, and goes for Super Electric Strike (Striking Spear) but nearly has her head taken off by a sudden big boot! With a sick smile, Tatau, not even acknowledging the warning of Brian Sullivan, yanks Android up by her hair and hits a lifting underhook facebuster. Tatau contemplates a pin, but shakes her head.



Android is once again yanked to her feet, the monster Tatau holding her face, talking smack when 18 comes to life with knife edge chops that echo! Fierce and determined, more chops find their mark, followed by shin strikes, then a leaping clothesline which staggers Tatau. Looking around at the frenzied crowd, Android 18 uses all her strength to somehow bring the massive Tatau up for a sitout powerbomb, to the shock of the capacity crowd! Sullivan is in position for the count, and somehow Tatau just kicks out!



Android, holding her back a bit, signals for the end, connecting with Buster Swing (Inverted stomp facebreaker), but once again Tatau kicks out! Android, frustrated, runs her fingers through her hair, gritting her teeth as she readies herself for the Super Electric Strike (Striking Spear) connecting as the crowd goes nuts! The crowd counts along, but Tatau just get the right shoulder up!



Android goes for Graceful Orbit yet again, but Tatau gets her knees up. Android, holding her midsection, is hit with her own medicine as Tatau connects with a spear! Tatau goes for the cover, and this time it’s Android 18 who manages to get the shoulder up! Tatau yells “STAY DOWN!” at her opponent, dragging her to the corner. Tatau heads up top and connects with Seismic Splash (Superfly Splash) going for the cover.



1..2..3!



Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, TATAU!



Mike Vincent: Tatau picks up the win over a game Android 18.



Lily Luna: I have a feeling this one isn't over though. Android 18 will no go down yet.



Cole Haywood: It should be. Tatau won. Android 18 should move on.



Tatau rips her hand away from Brian Sullivan, scaring him right out of the ring as she looks down at the fallen Android 18 with a smirk, cackling to herself. Tatau exits the ring and Android 18 starts to get to her feet, not staying down.

"Marvelous Me" plays as Chaz Anix comes out flexing and shooing fans away as he gets into the ring to a spotlight just on him as he "flaunts his stuff" in the ring.



The lights in the arena go out, one by one, until the entire arena is blanketed in complete darkness. A few seconds pass of this, the crowd cheering loudly, eagerly awaiting whatever is going to come next. The JumboTron comes to life with a neon pink butterfly, slowly flapping its wings against darkness. With every flap of its wings, the arena lights pulse. The flapping gets faster and faster, until finally, the butterfly explodes into glitter. When it does, a stage-wide blast of pink and purple pyro explodes across the stage and as the screen fills with the words "Stutterfly" Starla Gardevoir, "Endless Possibility" by Jaret Reddick begins playing over the sound system!







This is my escape

I'm running through this world

And I'm not looking back



The crowd explodes in a flurry of cheers as Starla Gardevoir struts onto the stage and points to the crowd, grinning. She moves to each side of the stage, posing for the fans, then comes back to the center of the stage before dropping to one knee and posing as a shower of pink pyro begins falling behind her!



'Cause I know I can go

Where no one's ever gone

And I'm not looking back



Starla stands up, still grinning from ear to ear, and then quickly bounds down the ramp, slapping fan's hands along the way. Towards the bottom of the ramp, she stops and turns back to the stage, then poses with her back to the ring. Starla turns back and laughs, then makes her way around ringside, high-fiving fans as she goes.



But how will I know when I get there?

And how will I know when to leave?

We've all got to start from somewhere

It's like that for me

The possibilities are never ending



After a quick trip around the ring, Starla runs towards the ring apron facing the stage and leaps up, turning in midair and sliding from one side of the apron to the other on one knee. Starla stands up and steps over the second rope, then leans in slowly, showcasing her butt for the cheering male fans before entering the ring completely.



I see it, I see it

And now it's all within my reach

Endless possibility

I see it, I see it now

It's always been inside of me

And now I feel so free

Endless possibility



Starla then heads up to the top of the nearest turnbuckle and poses once more. With the fans still cheering, Starla does a backflip off the top rope and lands on her feet, then walks over to the corner across the ring and leans against it, rolling her head back and forth as the music fades.



Jen Brunelli: This next contest is set for one fall, and is for the AXW Xperience Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, accompanied to the ring by Chester Andrews, from Miami, Florida, weighing in at 234 pounds, "Dr. Big Freaking Deal" CHAZ ANIX!



Chaz flexes as he receives boos from the crowd.



Jen Brunelli: And his opponent, from Panama City, Florida, she is the defending AXW Xperience Champion, "Stutterfly" STARLA GARDEVOIR!



Starla climbs a turnbuckles and raises her championship into the air as she receives a round of cheers.



AXW XPERIENCE CHAMPIONSHIP

vs.





The match starts with Starla pacing in the ring as Chaz stops and flexes for only a second before Starla nails him with a diving dropkick off the top rope. She pulls him and continues her immediate momentum with a corkscrew neckbreaker. Starla goes for a Lifting DDT, but Anix counters landing several kicks and wriggling out of Starla’s hold. He shifts her mass onto his right shoulder and connects with a devastating Lawn Dart. Starla crumples as “Mr. Big Freakin’ Deal” might have slathered a little extra mustard on that particular throw. Chaz heaves “Stutterfly” back into the air and powers her down with a snap suplex. Anix delivers a second snap suplex before hooking her leg in a pin attempt. Such effort garners him a solid two count.



Chester Andrews delivers some nasty epithets and gestures at the official for counting slow. Starla rolls to her feet with a pop from the crowd. Anix makes a go at whipping her into the corner, but she comes off the middle rope with a Sliced Bread #2 and plants him into the canvas. Gardevoir hooks Anix’s left leg and earns herself a two-count as well. Chaz pops his shoulders and decides to take a momentary breather outside the ring. He also wants to seek some wise counsel from Chester. Father and son exchange words on the outside, seemingly drawing up a new game plan for Chaz.



But the champion isn’t going put up with this for very long. Starla takes a flying suicide dive to the outside, catching both Andrews and Anix and toppling all three into a pile of bodies. Starla Gardevoir doesn’t stay down however, she drags Chaz to his feet, leaping up onto the ring apron to nail him with the 343 Guilty Spark (Tornado DDT). “Stutterfly” wastes even less time with rolling Chaz Aniz into the ring and ascending the ropes from the outside. The AXW Xperience Champion shows the crowd exactly why she’s the champ, executing a perfect R.R.O.D. [Red Ring of Death] (Swanton Bomb). She hooks a down and out Anix’s leg for the pin to retain her title.



Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, and STILL the AXW Xperience Champion, STARLA GARDEVOIR!



Mike Vincent: Thanks for coming Chaz Anix, Starla Gardevoir retains her championship tonight.



Lily Luna: Starla Gardevoir is a little over a month away from redeeming the Xperience Championship for another title match of her choosing. Tonight was do or die.



Cole Haywood: This is a travesty! Chaz Anix was undefeated and still should be!



"Endless Possibility" rings through the arena as Starla clutches her championship. She goes up on the turnbuckles posing for the crowd as we cut backstage, as we're being told there are some developments happening.

A cameraman is rushing down a hallway, we hear loud yelling, and when he turns a corner, we see Janet Hurricane beating the holy hell out of Zoey Mathews-Mitchell. At this point, Zoey is on the floor defenseless as Janet pummels away. Luke Mathews has apparently been alerted of the situation as he rushes up and pulls Janet off of her.



Luke Mathews: What the hell are you doing?!



Janet just walks away as Luke now drops down to check on his bloodied sister.



Luke Mathews: Z, are you okay? Speak to me, Z!



Zoey, whose only movement is that she's breathing, gives no response.



Luke Mathews: I need some help over here! Now!



It's not long before medical personnel and even Malcolm M. Mitchell rush to the scene. Luke stands up and places his hand over the camera lens.



Luke Mathews: You need to get out of here.



That's the last we see before we go back to ringside.

"Remedy" by Seether blasts out throughout the arena as ‘The Titan’ Crash Jackson walks out to the top of the ramp. He bounces from foot to foot psyching himself up for his match. He tenses his body up and then throws his arms out to either side and lets out a mighty roar while a small pyrotechnics display goes on right behind him.



Jen Brunelli: This next contest is set for one fall, with Jonathan Fhenix banned from ringside! Introducing first, from Miami, Florida, weighing in at 258 pounds, "The Titan" CRASH JACKSON!



He starts making his way down to the ring slapping hands with some of the fans on his way. Crash slides in under the bottom ropes to enter the ring. He goes over to a turnbuckle and climbs to the second rope. He beats on his chest with a clenched fist and then throws the same fist up into the air, oozing with pure intensity as he yells out to the crowd. Crash jumps down from there and readies himself in his corner to start the match.







An ice blue hue descends on the stage, “Playing The Saint” by Digital Summer blaring as a spade of the same color is shown on the ramp, Aries emerging with his back to us, clad in a denim jacket with the same spade on fire printed on the back, his arms crossed. Pyros explode on either side as Aries then spins around, his arms still crossed, head cocked in a smug grin. Aries then takes a confident stride towards the ring, eyes not off the ring from under his ice blue tinted Aviator shades.



Jen Brunelli: And his opponent, from San Diego, California, weighing in at 238 pounds, "The Wild Card" DUNCAN ARIES!



Aries climbs the steps and walks the apron, looking out onto the crowd before tossing his shades to a lucky fan, entering the ring, pumped up, tossing off his jacket and delivering some shadow punches and kicks as his music fades.



SINGLES

vs.





Duncan Aries proves to be the aggressor in the early going with six alternating left and right hooks. Jackson busts out a Mongolian Chop to create enough separation for a Discus Clothesline. He, “The Titan,” Irish Whips him into the southwestern turnbuckle post before attempting a possible Body Avalanche. “The Wild Card” manages to sidestep his rival before connecting with a German Suplex. Aries proceeds to climb onto the southwestern second turnbuckle and hits a Bret Hart-influenced elbow. He drapes an arm over Jackson, but the referee only makes a one-count as it becomes apparent Crash is pissed off with an overabundance of adrenaline. Duncan tries throwing a wide array of kicking strikes, but each renders any sign of discomfort from “The Titan.”



Thinking discretion is the better part of valor, Duncan momentarily exits the ring onto the eastern-facing arena floor. Crash immediately gives chase practically wanting to knock his block off with a Yakuza Kick near the announce table. Aries manages to slip between Jackson’s legs and applies a Full Nelson hold in preparation of a San Diego Driver. “The Wild Card” then finishes the maneuver with a Wheelbarrow Facebuster through the table! Words are exchanged between the commentators who state that the table had just been reconstructed from the Death Match.



Aries appears content to win via count-out which displeases many a Calgarian attending Winterslam tonight. Referee Gus Ramos gets to about six or seven when Jackson makes a westward torpedo-esque leap into the ring. It’s almost like a modified football tackle as both his sternum and breadbasket clear the ring apron. Crash makes a point of holding onto Aries’ ankles while getting himself to a vertical base. Summoning some secret Samoan strength, “The Titan” lifts “The Wild Card” over his head and slams him down onto the mat like a bad poker hand. Crash covers his bitter adversary, but Ramos only counts to 2 before receiving a knee to the face from Aries. Both combatants stumble to their initial standing positions when Duncan tries to end it all with The Culmination. Before he can finish the grapple sequence, though, Crash miraculously cartwheels out of it. “The Titan” Irish Whips “The Wild Card” into the northern set of ring ropes while he barrels against the western set akin to a runaway locomotive. Utilizing their combined momentum, Jackson knocks out Aries with The Pulverizer. Crash punches his right fist onto Duncan’s sternum as Gus Ramos administers the pinfall.

Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, CRASH JACKSON!



Mike Vincent: Crash Jackson finally gets some revenge on Duncan Aries.



Lily Luna: I actually believe this is Duncan Aries' first clean singles loss in his entire AXW tenure, making this Crash Jackson win that much more impressive.



Cole Haywood: Well, he hasn't impressed me, because he is still far beneath Duncan Aries.



"Remedy" takes the sound system as Crash Jackson immediately exits the ring, walks over to the timekeeper's area and folds up a steel chair, perhaps looking to do what Duncan Aries did to him back in August. Crash slides into the ring and sees Jonathan Fhenix sprinting down the ramp. Fhenix slides into the ring and ducks a chair shot, continues to run the ropes and big boots the chair into Crash's face. Duncan Aries gets back to his feet, and slams Crash onto the chair with The Culmination. Duncan may have lsot the match, but he gets the last laugh as we fade to advertisements.
