Los Angeles, California
Episode XIX
We're backstage at the Before the Bell set, a desk with an LED board on the front, monitors and screens behind it as well as various decor. Seated at the desk are John Hendon, Zoey Mathews-Mitchell, and Zack Fields. John Hendon: Welcome to Before the Bell, I'm John Hendon, joined by Zack Fields... Zack Fields: I'm bloody excited for tonight, AXW's biggest event is here, we're coming to you live from the Staples Center in beautiful Los Angeles! John Hendon: ...And former AXW Tag Team Champion, Zoey Mathews-Mitchell! Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: You're not the only one excited Zack, a great show in store for you tonight, every title is on the line. Feuds will end, feuds will begin. John Hendon: Zoey, you took to Twitter earlier in the week, stating you will have an announcement regarding your in-ring return, why don't we start off with that. Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: I will be returning as an active competitor, and I will be doing that here in AXW. However, it's not going to be tonight, it's not going to be next month. Realistically, we're looking at probably April as the earliest that I will be allowed back in the ring. You can probably start putting the pieces together at this point... Zoey pulls something out from underneath the desk. It's a tube shape, and we learn it's a confetti cannon as confetti flies everywhere after she twists it. Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: Malcolm and I are expecting! I am about one month in to my pregnancy, so we're looking at early March for the delivery. John Hendon: Exciting news! Congratulations to you and Malcolm! Zack Fields: Congrats! Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: Thanks, guys! John Hendon: You're welcome. Let's get right down to it now, starting off with War Horse defending the AXW Tag Team Championships against Lethal Weapons. Zack Fields: War Horse won the AXW Tag Team Championships back at Collide, defeating the now defunct Takeover. Lethal Weapons got this opportunity tonight by defeating Jack Adams and Ethan Cutler of the Steve Corman Guys. Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: Lethal Weapons proved they could get the job done by becoming the Number One Contenders, but now they have to do it again tonight, on AXW's biggest stage, for the Tag Team Championships. And the thing is, Justin and TO'A aren't the friends that they once were, but they have a common goal. There's a lot of elements going into this match, making it one of the ones I'm looking forward to the most. John Hendon: Usually, we wait until the end to give our predictions, but we're gonna switch things up a bit and we predict as we go. Zack, who do you think is winning this one? Zack Fields: Lethal Weapons have proved they have what it takes to win by becoming the Number One Contenders, but I think they're still too unpredictable. War Horse will be leaving tonight still the AXW Tag Team Champions. Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: As a former member of The Takeover, I would like to see War Horse dethroned here since that's what they did to us. Regardless, this will be an amazing match one way or the other, and if War Horse retains then I won't be too upset, because they really are a great team, but I'm pulling for Lethal Weapons. John Hendon: I see Lethal Weapons being a legit threat to the tag team division here, not only am I gonna predict that they will win the titles tonight, I'm also gonna predict that they break Hand of Blood's 229 day title reign. Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: Pretty bold prediction there. Next up is the 6 Woman Ladder Match for the AXW Women's Championship. Hailey Harris is the defending champion, she won the title at Horizon after defeating Olya Oglovska in a Best of 5 Series. John Hendon: And after that, the rest of the women's locker room spilled out throwing their names into the hat for a title match, and Luke Mathews gave them all the opportunity, and it happens tonight. Zack Fields: When it's all said and done, I'm predicting that Caitlin Shay will be leaving with the title, further proving that she is in fact the Greatest AXW Women's Champion Ever. Of All Time. John Hendon: Despite the odds stacked against her, I think Hailey Harris will retain tonight. She is one of two people to ever hold the title twice, she knows how to get the job done. Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: Typically, I'd go with my girl Velvet Valentine, but, there's something I need to talk about. All the girls aren't taking Janet Hurricane seriously. They don't think that she's not the same girl she used to be. After the wars I had with her, I can assure you first hand, that the evolution of Janet Hurricane is very real. Did you girls watch the matches we had? I still have burns and scars on my back from the barbed wire and the flaming table, and that was back in March. The main reason I'm sitting at this desk and not competing in that match with all of you is because of her, and she can do the same to all of you. Janet Hurricane is winning the AXW Women's Championship tonight. John Hendon: Keeping on the subject of championship matches, the AXW Light Heavyweight Championship will be on the line in a No Disqualifications Match as champion Trent Mathews defends against Danny Hall. Zack Fields: Trent won the title in April from then co-holders Danny Hall and Acer Stone. Recently, Danny defeated Trent in a title match. Trent had his foot on the rope although the referee didn't see it. Luke Mathews reversed the referee's decision and thus Danny's second reign never happened. Luke decided to throw Danny a bone by giving him another shot, this time in a No Disqualifications Match. Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: Which in a way, makes it a handicap match as there's nothing stopping Sam De Santa from getting involved. However, Danny also has the power to try to eliminate Sam from the equation. Zack Fields: And I don't think that's gonna happen, I think Trent is retaining tonight. Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: I agree. I obviously know Trent very well, and this partnership with Sam has significantly improved his career. He has many more days as Light Heavyweight Champion in him before he loses the title. John Hendon: I'm gonna disagree with you guys here. Danny Hall a year ago, sure, anyone could beat that guy. A stuffed animal beat that guy. But Danny Hall these days has improved significantly, having one of the longest reigns as Light Heavyweight Champion and is now a three time BWF Chaos Theory Champion. Danny Hall has what it takes to get the job done tonight. Zack Fields: Well Zoey you brought up handicap match, there is a handicap match happening tonight as the Cross City Stallions take on their brother Mayhem in a Buried Alive Match. Reminder that Mayhem only has to bury one of them for him to win. John Hendon: Cross City Stallions are former AXW Tag Team Champions who after some time away, came back to AXW, and not too far behind was their brother Mayhem, who we had learned is... well... a psychopath. He once buried Max Maximus alive which has scarred him for life and is why Max is so deathly afraid of Mayhem and that's the significance of this match tonight. Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: These guys are my extended family, my relationship with them only goes back a few years to when I met Malcolm, and I had only heard stories of Mason, better known as Mayhem. Everyone other than Max and Marky praised Mason, saying he's an angel and would never hurt a fly. After watching this story develop, that's clearly not the case and Max and Marky had been right all along. If Max can't overcome his fear tonight, the handicap stipulation won't even matter, and he could find himself buried alive once again. Zack Fields: I think Max is a lost cause at this point. Mayhem has this match in the bag. John Hendon: I feel Marky is level headed enough to win this match for the Stallions. Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: It's not fun having to pick a winner for this match when you're related to all involved, but I think Mason needs to go back to the mental institution and try to better himself. John Hendon: Well let's change it up and discuss the Main Event for tonight, which could have been a Fatal Four Way with Allen Chaney defending the AXW Championship against Steve Corman, David Slayton, and Duncan Aries. However that's not the case as Steve Corman retained the AXW Title this past Monday at AXW vs. BWF: Domination, and he'll be defending the title in a Triple Threat against David Slayton and Duncan Aries. Zack Fields: This all dates back to Horizon in May, when David Slayton defeated Starla Gardevoir for the AXW Championship. After the match, Steve Corman came out and laid them both out, and the next week, beat Slayton for the title. Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: I actually have an inside scoop on this match. Each person in this match has backup, right? Steve Corman has the Corman Guys, Duncan Aries has the Alliance of Truth, David Slayton has Gabe Shelley. Per order of Luke Mathews, if anyone interferes in this match, then they will no longer be an employee of AXW. John Hendon: That certainly makes things interesting, and will make predictions a little easier since there's no "Well what if ____ gets involved?" factor. I'm gonna say David Slayton becomes a three time AXW Champion tonight. Zack Fields: Duncan Aries said he'd carry Team AXW to victory at Domination, and you know what, that's exactly what he did. He also said he was going to win the AXW title at Rise, and I'm inclined to believe him. Duncan Aries is becoming a four time AXW Champion tonight. Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: I'm also going with David Slayton. When it comes down to it, this man knows how to win a title. He has 5 title reigns in AXW which is more than anyone. He was a champion from July 2, 2015 to February 20, 2016. That's 234 days as champion, and what's more impressive is that feat is with three different championships. He's also the only person to be an AXW Triple Crown winner, and is already one Xperience or Tag Team Championship away from doing it again. John Hendon: Alright ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna send it to ringside for the Before the Bell Exclusive Match! ----- Failure by Breaking Benjamin fades into play in the arena. The lights dim as a spotlight centers up on the stage. 17 seconds into the song, pyros go off on either side of the stage and Clifford Bradley bursts onto the stage. Jen Brunelli: This contest is the Before the Bell Exclusive Match set for one fall! Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Alyssa Liles, from Miami, Florida, weighing in at 218 pounds, CLIFFORD BRADLEY! Bradley walks down the ramp, a smirk on his faces, completely ignoring the fans to either side of him. He uses the stairs to climb to the apron, demanding the ref to come and open up the ropes for him when entering the ring, and then goes directly to his corner to await the beginning of the match. "Rocketman" starts with all of the lights out with some smoke and one spotlight "She packed my bags last night pre flight Zero hour nine a.m. And I'm gonna be high, as a kite by then I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife It's lonely out in space On such a timeless flight And I think it's gonna be a long long time Till touch down brings me round again to find I'm not the man they think I am at home Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone" Then a hooded figure shows up and waits at the spotlight. "And I think it's gonna be a long long time Till touch down brings me round again to find I'm not the man they think I am at home Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone" Ben raises his arms simultaneously taking off his cape and walks to the ring. Jen Brunelli: His opponent, from Mason City, Iowa, weighing in at 223 pounds, BEN "ROCKET MAN" EATR! "Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids In fact it's cold as Hell And there's no one there to raise them if you didn't And all this science, I don't understand It's just my job, five days a week A rocket man, a rocket man" On beat with the song Ben climbs the apron and jumps on the turnbuckle. "And I think it's gonna be a long long time Till touch down brings me round again to find I'm not the man they think I am at home Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone And I think it's gonna be a long long time Till touch down brings me round again to find I'm not the man they think I am at home Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone" Ben keeps his arms up then jumps into the ring. "Now, I think it's gonna be a long long time And I think it's gonna be a long long time And I think it's gonna be a long long time And I think it's gonna be a long long time"   The match starts with Eatr and Bradley facing off, the pair lock up and Eatr gets a brief upper hand with a couple of big right hand strikes to Bradley. His build up is cut short by Bradley closing the distance quickly and dropping Eatr with a DDT. Bradley pulled Eatr to his feet and sends him for the long ride with an Irish Whip, but Eatr came off the ropes and brought Bradley to the mat with a Sling blade, he followed that up by lifting Bradley to his feet for a Snapmare driver. Alyssa Liles smacked the apron outside the ring, cheering Bradley in an attempt to get him on his feet. It seems to work because Bradley rolled his feet with some steam in him and nailed Eatr to the mat with a German Suplex. Bradley keeps the waist lock on Eatr and hefts him over hitting another German Suplex. Eatr managed to wiggle his way out of the grip after landing some elbows to Bradley's head. Eatr meets Bradley in the middle of the ring with a brutal springboard clothesline. He takes advantage of the momentum shift with a running knee to the head as Bradley started to sit up. Eatr hit the Rocket Shot (Running single leg dropkick) and covered for a fast two count. Eatr hauled Bradley to his feet and sets him up for the Space Out (Future shock DDT) but is stopped with a surprise Neckbreaker from Bradley, who wasted no time in delivering another German Suplex to his stunned opponent. Eatr once again got some distance, but his attempted Hurricanrana is quickly turned into a Catapult into the turnbuckle by Bradley, who then delivered some big right hands to Eatr's head. Referee Jessie McCormick urges the pair out of the corner, which gives Eatr enough leeway to grab Bradley from behind and plant him on the mat with another DDT. Alyssa begins cheering and shouting encouragement to Bradley again, as Ben locked in the Gassed Out (Rear Naked Choke)! Bradley struggles, and eventually fought out of the hold only to fall victim to a Space Out (Future shock DDT). Eatr covers and gets a solid two count. He seems a bit shocked that it wasn't three and looks to McCormick for confirmation. Eatr pulls Bradley to his feet and Bradley takes Eatr back down with a Russian leg sweep and followed up with some mounted elbow strikes. He pulled Eatr to his feet and sent him spinning off with an Irish whip before hitting Eatr with a huge Spinebuster! Bradley's obviously feeling pumped now and it showed because he snapped off a quick T-Bone Suplex, effectively dissipating Eatr's built up steam. He set up for the Cash Out (The Miz’s Skull Crushing Finale/Full Nelson Facebuster) only to have Eatr battle his way out of Bradley grip. Eatr looked for a running knee off the ropes, and got stopped in his tracks by a big clothesline from Bradley. Bradley took advantage of the power shift to snap off a forceful power slam, that allowed him to set up the Cash Out! He drove Eatr into the mat with it and covered! One! Two! Three! Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, CLIFFORD BRADLEY!
Jessie goes to raise Clifford's hand, but Alyssa stops her and raises his hand herself.
-----
John Hendon: Clifford Bradley continues to ascend here in AXW.
Zack Fields: His alliance with Alyssa Liles has drastically improved his career here.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: The future is certainly bright for both competitors, Ben Eatr also had a great showing and I look forward to more from him as well.
John Hendon: Moving on, tonight the feud between Deimos and Damien Steele comes to a head, as they do battle in a Death Match.
Zack Fields: You can date this one all the way back to August, when Deimos had his first match. Who did he defeat? Damien Steele. After that, Deimos disappeared before entering a war with Bruiser Lazzou. Lazzou has not been seen since, and then Deimos decided to once again target Damien Steele.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: Steele was unsuccessful in their first encounter last year, their second encounter at Horizon, and now he has the chance to finally get the win here in what is essentially Steele's match, the Death Match.
John Hendon: Be that as it may, I don't think Damien Steele can overcome the much larger Deimos, especially considering Steele also just competed in a Full Metal Mayhem Ladder Match earlier this week. I think Deimos shuts Damien Steele out tonight.
Zack Fields: I think I have to agree with you. I want Steele to win, but I don't think he can. Sure, he laid Deimos out after their Horizon match, he Loony Stomped him in the Battle Royal a few weeks ago, but from bell to bell, I'm not sure he can dethrone Deimos.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: Something tells me that Damien Steele will leave with the win tonight. Sure, there's a distinct size advantage, and sure, Damien might not be 100% after Domination, but he lives and breathes these kind of matches. And they certainly don't call him "The Vicious One" for nothing.
John Hendon: Moving on to our final championship match, the Xperience Championship is on the line as champion Destiny Figgins defends against challenger Jonathan Fhenix. You heard that correctly, BWF wrestler Destiny Figgins is the AXW Xperience Champion.
Zack Fields: That's the joy of the Xperience Championship. It's defended whenever the champion is in singles action which is quite frequently. Destiny Figgins won the title on Monday, defeating former champion Jonathan Fhenix and Alison James in a Triple Threat Match.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: If you hold onto the Xperience Championship for 90 days, you can redeem it for another AXW championship match of your choosing. And just to be clear, it doesn't have to be the AXW Championship, it just so happens the two people who redeemed it went for that title. You can redeem it for a Tag Team title match, or a Light Heavyweight or Women's title match if you qualify for those divisions. The first two holders of the title, David Slayton and Starla Gardevoir, held onto the title for 90 days and went on to successfully redeem it. However, not everyone is gonna be able to hold onto the title for the 90 days and we've surely been seeing that with Jonathan Fhenix and Jack Adams. It's not a guarantee you'll be champion for 90 days and it's not a guarantee you'll be able to win your follow-up championship match if you do.
John Hendon: Destiny Figgins, no doubt about it, is a good wrestler. However, she won the title at a neutral event. She now steps into what is unfamiliar territory. She's stepping into an AXW ring at an AXW event against AXW wrestler Jonathan Fhenix. Any time a wrestler from a different promotion steps into an AXW ring, they aren't successful, and I think that continues tonight.
Zack Fields: I have to agree with you on that. I think Destiny won the title out of pure luck, and remember she pinned Alison James to win the title, not Jonathan Fhenix. Had it been a singles match, I think Jonathan Fhenix would still be here as champion.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: I think you guys are cutting Destiny short here. She won the title, and she can certainly retain the title. Look at her credentials, she's a third generation wrestler. She won the BWF Tag Team Championship in her first match, and holds the longest single reign with Alison James at 256 days. I think Destiny will retain and much like Danny Hall, compete for both promotions.
John Hendon: Next up, Gabe Shelley takes on Jack Adams.
Zack Fields: This is gonna be a good one. The two have had encounters in this three way rivalry between the Corman Guys, Alliance of Truth, and Tru Revolution, but this is the first time they'll meet in the ring one-on-one. Gabe Shelley has been on a roll since coming to AXW, as has Jack Adams. Jack was undefeated upon coming here and later had a solid reign as Xperience Champion.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: This one could go either way. Gabe Shelley has more experience and accolades to his name, but on the flip side, Jack Adams, despite being a total douche, is a rising star in this profession.
John Hendon: And i think the experience and accolades will help give Gabe Shelley the win tonight.
Zack Fields: I think you're a fool for sleeping on Jack Adams, John. Jack Adams doesn't need the experience or the accolades to get it done. Remember when he defeated Justin Wyndham? We're gonna have a similar outcome tonight.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: Yeah, Jack Adams is good and all, but I just can't support a sexist asshole like him. Hopefully Gabe Shelley puts him in his place.
John Hendon: And finally, we'll see a 2 out of 3 Falls Match between Anthony Royal and Malcolm M. Mitchell.
Zack Fields: Since coming to AXW, Anthony Royal is undefeated in singles action, the only match he's lost so far is a Battle Royal, and even then he did really well in it. Malcolm M. Mitchell on the other hand, hasn't had the same success since The Takeover disbanded. This isn't the first time these two have met, but the bigger story is, how exactly is Malcolm since the Alliance of Truth attacked him at Domination on Monday?
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: A disgusting attack by Aries and Fhenix. Malcolm is doing fine and is cleared to compete, and when this match is said and done, he'll get his revenge on the Alliance of Truth.
John Hendon: Sorry to go against your husband, Zoey, but after the attack on Monday and seeing how impressive Royal has been, I think Royal's winning streak will continue.
Zack Fields: I have to agree.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: You guys are entitled to your opinions, and I certainly can't root against my own husband, so Malcolm M. Mitchell will be leaving tonight with the win.
John Hendon: Ladies and gentlemen, that does it for Before the Bell! Make sure you stay tuned for RISE in just a few moments!
Zack Fields: If you're watching this on BWF Network, you can stay put. If you're watching this on AXW.com, then head on over to BWF Network!
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: The BWF Network is available on all streaming devices, and it's free! No credit card required, unless you want to upgrade to an ad-free version.

"Tonight is the ultimate proving ground for these competitors. WHO... WILL... Pyrotechnics explode from the stage, Alternatron, ramp, and ring posts. The cameras pan across the crowd, showing all sorts of signs and AXW merchandise. Mike Vincent: Who will RISE?! Welcome ladies and gentlemen, we are live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, and the gang's all here! I'm Mike Vincent joined by Cole Haywood, Lily Luna, and Chris Pierce. Cole Haywood: So much action in store for you tonight, I'm looking forward to all of it. Lily Luna: The biggest event in AXW's year, I can barely hear myself think over how loud this crowd is. Chris Pierce: Everyone's excited for the matches tonight, so why listen to us talk? Let's send it to Sal for the introduction. Salvatore Pellegrino: Ladies and gentlemen, this opening contest is a Tag Team Match scheduled for one fall, and it is for the AXW Tag Team Championships! "When the lights go up and the game is on Are you ready for me? 'Cause I'm ready for you When the bell rings out and the fight is on Are you ready for me? 'Cause I'm ready for you " "Game On" by Disciple blares out as Justin Wyndham and TO'A aka Lethal Weapons comes out of the curtains "When the lights go up and the game is on Are you ready for me? 'Cause I'm ready for you When the bell rings out and the fight is on Are you ready for me? 'Cause I'm ready for you " Justin bends down in one knee and looks at this imaginary watch, similar to CM Punk. TO'A is beside him with his signature towel drenched in blood and wrapped around his neck as he is looking down at the ground. "It's time for us to start throwing down Take a look and see who's standing now It's time for us to start throwing down Look and see who's standing now " Justin does the cutthroat before getting up. Justin runs full speed to the ring and then around the ring, hyping up the fans while TO'A slowly makes his way down the ring, still not showing his face. Justin then slides into the ring and then bang his head to the nearest turnbuckle, hyping himself up before looking back at the crowd with a sick smile as TO'A walks up the steel steps and enters the ring. Justin then climbs at the turnbuckle and does the cuthroat sign before getting off while TO'A throws his towel on the mat and does a battle cry before the theme fades. ‘War Machine’ begins to play, as the crowd rises to their feet. The song plays out with the white spots lights zooming around the arena until the 33 second mark when the drums kick in and Austin Graves steps out from the back, checking the black hockey tape on his wrists. Graves pays no attention to the crowd whether they boo or cheer him, and he’s focused like a laser beam on the task at hand. Rolling into the ring under the bottom rope, he rolls to his feet and walks over to the hard (tv) camera side of the ropes, placing both hands on the top ropes, pressing down on them slightly, staring coldly into the camera at first, then giving way to a cold, almost sick half smile as if to say, “I’m going to enjoy this…” As Footsteps by Pop Evil begins to blare through the speakers of the arena, Ryan comes out from behind the curtain. He stands and looks out into the crowd. He then runs down the ramp, hitting hands with the fans and slides into the ring. Then he goes up onto the ropes and bounces on them, trying to get the fans all hyped up for the match. He then jumps in the ring a little to get warped up to face his opponent. Salvatore Pellegrino: Introducing first, the challengers, at a combined weight of 490 pounds, "The World Warrior" Justin Wyndham, "The Samoan Executioner" TO'A, they are LETHAL WEAPONS! Justin climbs a turnbuckle and hypes the crowd up, while TO'A looks on at the opponents. Salvatore Pellegrino: And their opponents, at a combined weight of 440 pounds, they are the defending AXW Tag Team Champions, Austin "War Machine" Graves and the "World Class Workhorse" Ryan Starr, they are WAR HORSE! War Horse raise their titles high into the air, before handing them off to referee Gus Ramos.   TO’A and Graves start the matchup, trading blows. Graves gets a kick to TO’A’s gut and swiftly delivers a DDT, then quickly locking in a Buffalo Sleeper. TO’A is too powerful, though, and is able to turn over, turning Graves over in the process, and then get to his feet, holding Graves on his shoulder as he does so! He repositions Graves for a Death Valley Driver and connects, then tags in Wyndham, who ascends the ropes, goes for an Olympic Splash (double moonsault), and connects! Pinfall, but Graves kicks out. Wyndham runs the ropes and baseball slides into the side of Graves’ head, then promptly tags in TO’A, who enters and nails a Samoan Elbow (feint Leg drop into elbow drop). Then, TO’A pulls Graves up and whips him into the corner. A forearm smash followed by an Executioner (jumping twisting enziguri while facing away from a cornered opponent) from TO’A, and a tag to Wyndham. With Graves already cornered, Wyndham tries a tornado DDT and connects. Pinfall, but again just a two count. Wyndham pulls Graves to his feet, only for Graves to poke Wyndham in the eye and then hit a Going, Going, GONE (Scoop lift transitioned into a delayed suplex into a brainbuster)! Both men are down, but Graves recovers quickly and makes his tag as Wyndham begins to stir! Starr enters and charges Wyndham, dropping a knee into his back to stop him, then running the ropes for a dropkick to the side of Wyndham’s head! Starr runs the ropes again, this time hitting a senton, then taunts TO’A. TO’A enters and sidesteps the ref, coming after Starr, who slides out of the ring! As the ref grabs TO’A and is distracted, both Starr and Graves enter the ring, causing TO’A to try and get by the ref again, and leading to a clothesline/legsweep combo from the champs. Graves rolls out of the ring as the ref regains control. Starr has Wyndham on his back in the center of the ring and locks in A Starr to Remember! Wyndham is in agony, and TO’A enters to stop it and does. Graves enters and takes down TO’A with a running stiff arm lariat! TO’A pops right back up and Graves tries again, but TO’A reverses it into a Samoan drop! Starr has ascended the ropes behind TO’A's back and when TO’A turns around, he attempts Burning Flames and connects! Wyndham is the legal man, though, and has had enough time to recover. Starr gets back to his feet, taunting TO’A, and he’s met with the World’s Most Wanted (Steve Vick-like superkick)! The pin comes in: One! Two! Three! Salvatore Pellegrino: Here are your winners, and the NEW AXW Tag Team Champions, JUSTIN WYNDHAM! TO'A! LETHAL WEAPONS! Mike Vincent: We have new AXW Tag Team Champions! Congratulations Justin Wyndham and TO'A! Cole Haywood: A costly error by Ryan Starr, he got too focused on the illegal man. Lily Luna: I certainly am looking forward to a rematch between these teams. Cole Haywood: This is TO'A's first championship in AXW, and Justin's third. Congratulations Lethal Weapons. Justin and TO'A receive their newly won AXW Tag Team Championships and hoist them up into the air. They have a celebratory embrace before exiting the ring. TO'A makes his way straight up the ramp while Justin high fives the fans. Meanwhile, Austin is visibly upset about no longer holding being AXW Tag Team Champion. Despite this, he checks on his partner Ryan and helps him to his feet. He seems to question if Ryan is alright, and then suddenly doubles him over and drops him to the mat with a Cradle 2 Grave (Package Piledriver)! The fans are in absolute shock! Mike Vincent: Oh my God! Austin stands over Ryan, and yells "YOU RUINED IT!", before the scene fades backstage. ----- We open backstage, where Gina Furlow is standing by with the AXW Women’s Champion, Hailey Harris, who is clad in a gray hoodie that’s open on a hot pink and black lace corset, hot pink and black leather pants, and for the first time, hot pink sunglasses from G.A.W. with gold trim. Gina Furlow: “Hailey Harris, tonight you will be one of six women doing the unprecedented in AXW, competing in a Ladder Match for your AXW Women’s Championship. Are you worried that tonight the odds may be against you to retain your championship?” Hailey smiles wide, looking at Gina like she has three heads. Hailey Harris: “I’m sorry, you must not know who you’re talking to, sweetheart, which is sad really, since you’ve been here about as long as I have. My whole career, from Day 1, has been people betting against me, so as far as the odds being against me tonight, first off, DUH, and second, what difference does it make? This kind of stuff has been my every day in this business, so yeah, for anybody else, this could be scary, intimidating even, but not me. Not the standard of women’s wrestling standing before you.” Gina Furlow: “But every woman in this match will be gunning for you and the chance to grab that championship.” Hailey Harris: “What exactly is your point, Gina? If anyone should be afraid, nervous, intimidated, or scared going into tonight’s match, it is every single one of those amateurs in this match. Because it’s like I’ve been saying, you are all privileged to be witnessing the evolution of Hailey Harris, but what is so fortunate for all of you who have always believed is what will be the DOWNFALL of every single one of my opponents tonight. They all want to be me, but tonight, like each and every night to come, they’ll be, how does that old saying go? Close but no cigar.” Hailey zips up her hoodie and flips the hood over her hair before walking off. ----- We return to ringside, where the cameras are focused on the ring. The ropes have been replaced with barbed wire. Jen Brunelli is stood at ringside. Jen Brunelli: Ladies and gentlemen, this next contest is a Death Match, set for one fall! Deimos walks out from the back. Jen Brunelli: Introducing first, from Portland, Oregon, weighing in at 310 pounds, DEIMOS! Deimos carefully enters the ring. The lights all go out and "Miseria Cantare" by AFI starts as a single spotlight shines on the entrance as Damien Steele is standing in the entrance hair in front of his face as at the 45 second mark of the song. Damien flips his hair back and starts to walk down to the ring, as the words of the song start. LOVE... YOUR HATE... Jen Brunelli: And his opponent, representing the Steve Corman Guys, from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 221 pounds, he is "The Vicious One" DAMIEN STEELE! Damien Steele makes no connection to any fans that might be throwing insults his way, almost as if he is only focused on the ring, and more specifically his opponent. YOUR... FAITH LOST... Steele reaches the ring, keeping his eyes on his opponent. YOU... ARE NOW... ONE... OF US... A wicked smile comes across his face as the words of the song repeat again just a little bit faster this time. LOVE... YOUR HATE... YOUR... FAITH LOST... YOU... ARE NOW... ONE... OF US... Steele slides in under the bottom barbed wire rope.   Standing in the center of this appropriately named Death Match, it is certainly worth noting that Damien Steele is showing no fear going up against the monster known as Deimos. The bell rings and this was is underway, Deimos throwing a strong lariat, which is ducked as Damien throws everything he can into some STIFF kicks, which back Deimos up. Steele throws some knees and elbows into the mix, but Deimos simply shoves Steele down, seemingly unaffected by the early barrage from the brash superstar. Steele is undeterred and tries again, Deimos absorbing some more stiff kicks, but Steele makes a crucial mistake and tries for a roundhouse kick as Deimos snatches his smaller opponent up and delivers a T-Bone suplex that nearly folds Steele up like an accordion into the corner as the crowd groans! Steele staggers to his feet and is met with what is known as a ballistic punching combo, as hard rights, lefts, and clubbing blows to the chest and midsection, bounce Steele around like a ping bong ball before Deimos snatches Steele and spins, driving him into the mat with a thunderous spinebuster! Matt Baker, who is just there to make the cover, thinks Deimos is going to, but the monster shakes his head, yanking Steele up by his hair, only to get a low blow sending the mighty Deimos to his knees. Steele spits in the face of his opponent and hits a STIFF Pele Kick! The crowd is split, but there are some noticeable cheers for Steele! Steele yells “This is it! This is the end of the monster!” Steele steadies himself on the turnbuckle as Deimos staggers up, leaping off with a high knee, only to be clutched in a bearhug, getting squeezed tight, before getting thrown like a rag doll into the barbwire! Steele is hanging by his hair as well as his right arm, all of this wrapped around the barbwire as Steele cries out in pain, until finally he falls to the apron. Deimos wastes no time and goes to grab Steele, holding him back first against the barbwire, pounding on his chest with HARD clubbing blows that take the wind out of Steele while also lacerating his back! Deimos pushes Steele from the outside as Steele crashes hard into the barricade, like dead weight collapsed onto it! The crowd is booing Deimos, but many more are just in awe of the carnage in this match already! Looking pleased, Deimos heads to the outside, unconcerned with the barbwire ripping at his shirt and lifts the seemingly lifeless Steele from the barricade. Deimos turns and looks to want to use Steele as a lawn dart for the steel post, but Damien slides back and pushes Deimos into the post instead! With Deimos staggered, Steele lifts the steel steps and rams them into the skull of Deimos, taking him down to a knee. Enraged, Steele grabs the timekeeper’s bell and clocks the monster with that, taking him down! Steele is on top of Deimos, delivering rights and lefts before he’s pushed off by the monster. Deimos gets to a knee as Steele tries for a shining wizard but before he can, Deimos explodes from his spot with a lariat that sends Damien spinning into the air before crashing hard onto the floor! Deimos, fuming sends Salvatore Pellegrino scurrying and takes his chair, folding it up as he begins thrashing Damien Steele in the back with it..ONCE! TWICE! THREE TIMES! Deimos continues, until after 7 chair shots a twisted and dented chair is tossed to the ground by the monster! Deimos rolls what seems to remain of Damien Steele back into the ring. Stalking around the ring, the monster also heaves the steel steps into the ring. The crowd is going crazy as Deimos then looks under the ring, slinging a bag over his shoulder before returning to the ring! With a sinister grin, Deimos takes the bag from his shoulder, dumping it’s contents, hundreds of THUMBTACKS, onto the mat! Satisfied, Deimos tosses the empty bag away, yanking Steele once again by the hair and bringing him onto the steel steps with him. Deimos goes for a powerbomb, but Steele sinks down and delivers his second low blow of the match! Steele then fires off a super kick with as much power as he can muster in the small space of the steel steps as Deimos staggers, swings, and finally falls back RIGHT ONTO THE THUMBTACKS as the crowd explodes into a frenzy! Steele looks down at his handy work with a smirk, before turning to the crowd, extending his arms out, yelling “ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?” before shrugging and hitting a diving moonsault right onto Deimos! Steele yells at Baker to make the cover and the ref does so, 1..2..3!! Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, DAMIEN STEELE! Mike Vincent: Damien Steele has done it, a brutal match, but he comes out victorious against the monster Deimos. Cole Haywood: Of course he did, this is his match and on top of that, he's a Steve Corman Guy! He can beat anyone at any given time especially in a Death Match. Lily Luna: Damien Steele has been a staple in AXW since arriving on the scene two years ago, and he's not gonna let Deimos stop him as he continues to Rise. Chris Pierce: This win tonight could certainly elevate Steele back to a title picture, that's for sure.
Steele picks a few tacks from his elbow, his head and back with some cuts and bruises as he has his hand raised in victory. Steele looks down at the motionless Deimos, covered in tacks before heading to the backstage area.

Jen Brunelli: This next contest is set for one fall, and is for the AXW Xperience Championship! As Daniel Licht’s “Hide Your Tears” opens with a sweet Spanish guitar lick, the lights dim into a golden hue, as elegant script spelling out “The Tragic Hero” flashes over the video wall. Fhenix emerges, his back to us, clad in a golden wrestling robe. He turns as the song gets a bit darker and heavier in tone, golden pyros raining down behind him as he poses, arms outstretched with a smirk. He walks to the ring with smooth confidence, entering the ring and scaling a turnbuckle, actually cupping an ear and egging on the crowd for more hatred before leaping off with a sinister smirk, which slowly turns into an eerily focused, stern glance, a mastermind considering strategy before his match begins, his music fading out. A spotlight appears on the stage. Out walks Destiny Figgins to a solid ovation, holding the AXW Xperience Championship. She raises it into the air before making her way down the ramp. She high fives some of the ringside fans, and walks up the ring steps, entering the ring. She climbs on a few turnbuckles, raising her title in the air. Jen Brunelli: Introducing first, the challenger, representing The Alliance of Truth, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 240 pounds, he is "The Tragic Hero" JONATHAN FHENIX! Jonathan makes no motions, he's just focused on getting his championship back. Jen Brunelli: His opponent, representing the Blazenwing Wrestling Federation, from Kansas City, Missouri, weighing 123 pounds, she is the defending AXW Xperience Champion, DESTINY FIGGINS! Destiny raises her title in the air, before handing it off to referee Brian Sullivan. Jen is about to exit the ring, when she stops, holds her hand to her ear, listening to whatever's coming through her earpiece. She walks back to the middle of the ring. Jen Brunelli: Ladies and gentlemen, I have just been informed that this contest will now be a Triple Threat Match! We hear a very loud "WHAT?!" from Jonathan as we await the final challenger. "Code Red" by Nonpoint blares as a red light shines down on the ramp, flashing and flickering as Bruiser Lazzou emerges to a chorus of boos in a black singlet with a red hazard symbol on it, cracking his knuckles and then slapping his face, roaring and then pounding his chest before heading to the ring, yelling "OPEN FOR BUSINESS!" to fans, some of the younger ones still so traumatized by this once beloved hero. He enters the ring and runs the ropes, stomping his feet like a bull and roaring once again with his arms extended and his head tilted back, roaring once more as his music fades out. Jen Brunelli: The final challenger, from Augusta, Maine, weighing in at 325 pounds, BRUISER LAZZOU! Mike Vincent: We haven't seen Lazzou in months! Chris Pierce: He hasn't been cleared to compete since his last match against Deimos, it looks like he is now!   Destiny shows no fear as she goes right after the biggest target: Bruiser Lazzou. Bruiser shoves her away and gets into a fist fight with Fhenix. Destiny climbs to the top turnbuckle and comes off with a dropkick to both men. Lazzou stumbles into the ropes while Fhenix falls out of the ring. Destiny runs towards Lazzou who plants her with a spinebuster. Lazzou shows no remorse to the new Xperience Champion, slamming her with the greatest of ease with a scoop slam. Lazzou lifts her up high for a full nelson slam. Destiny rolls out of the ring as Fhenix comes back in, taking advantage or Triple Threat Rules by hitting Lazzou in the back with a chair. He does this repeatedly before tossing the chair aside. Fhenix covers Lazzou but only gets a two count. Lazzou manages to get back to his feet where Fhenix hits him with a Step up Enziguri. Lazzou falls to his knees where Fhenix follows up with a Snap side kick. Fhenix gets another two count. Fhenix looks to whip Lazzou to the ropes but Lazzou reverses. On the rebound Lazzou delivers a snap powerslam. Lazzou lifts Fhenix up and this time delivers a running powerslam. Lazzou climbs to the top turnbuckle from inside the ring, perhaps looking for the Maine Moonsault (Top Rope Vader Style Moonsault), but Destiny yanks his leg and he loses his balance, getting racked up on the turnbuckle. Fhenix hits him in the back with the chair once more, causing Lazzou to fall down to the floor. Fhenix swings the chair at Destiny, who is standing on the apron, but Destiny hops down and the chair hits the top rope, bouncing back and hitting Fhenix in the head. Destiny quickly slides into the ring and tries to get a pin off of it, but gets two. Destiny pulls Fhenix to his feet but Fhenix punches her in the gut. Fhenix whips her to the corner, Figgins runs up the turnbuckles and comes off with a Leg Lariat. She follows up with a snap side kick, then runs to the ropes, springboarding off them for a Tornado DDT. This gets another two count. Fhenix is to his hands and knees before getting caught in the Zipline (Shining Triangle)! Fhenix is struggling but thankfully for him Lazzou comes back in to break the hold. Lazzou chucks Figgins over the top rope and she crashes to the floor. Fhenix then low blows Lazzou and rolls him up, again getting two. Fhenix runs off the ropes only to get turned inside out from a clothesline by Lazzou, who is now just pissed off. Lazzou grabs the neck of Fhenix and throws him across the ring with a choke toss. Fhenix gets up in the corner and gets squashed by a corner splash from Lazzou. Lazzou throws Fhenix again with a Biel throw. Lazzou runs off the ropes and jumps up for Bruising Bodies (Big Splash). Lazzou keeps his onslaught going with a powerbomb, before going back to the top rope. This time, Lazzou is able to connect with the Maine Moonsault! Lazzou covers, and the pin is broken up by Figgins who comes off the top rope with a Fiery Illusion (Swandive Elbowdrop) to the back of Lazzou! Destiny goes for a cover, but before Sullivan can even get in position, Figgins is pulled out of the ring and thrown into the ring steps by Alison James! Alison pummels away at Destiny, before officials come down and pull her off, escorting her out of the arena. Medical personnel attend to Destiny. Fhenix and Lazzou are getting up on opposite sides of the ring. They both end up having the same idea of clothesline, and Fhenix perhaps gets the worst end of it. Lazzou is back in control first and lifts Fhenix for a sidewalk slam. This gets a two count for the veteran. Lazzou sends Fhenix to the ropes and delivers a big boot. Lazzou runs the ropes and looks for another Bruising Bodies, but Fhenix rolls out of the way for this one. Fhenix hooks the head of Lazzou and drops him to the canvas with a Reverse DDT. Fhenix pulls himself up to the middle turnbuckle before delivering a Second rope elbow drop. Fhenix backs to a corner and is waiting to strike. When Lazzou gets into position, Fhenix comes barreling out of the corner with Sudden Reality (Regal style running knee trembler)! Fhenix covers and is frustrated that it's only two. Lazzou gets to his knees before he's hit with some knife edge chops from Fhenix. Fhenix then manages to hoist Lazzou up for a German suplex. Fhenix decides to do something he usually doesn't, which is head to the top rope. He goes out to the apron and starts his climb, but Lazzou is back up and hits him right in the temple with a punch. Lazzou climbs up with him and lifts him up, before jumping back down to the ring with Bruised and Battered(Top Rope Samoan Drop)! Sullivan is there as Lazzou covers. One! Two! Three! Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, and the NEW AXW Xperience Champion, BRUISER LAZZOU! Mike Vincent: What a change of events, we were originally expecting a singles match, and the last minute addition of Lazzou returns to win the Xperience Championship! Cole Haywood: This still isn't fair to Fhenix! He was supposed to get a one on one rematch for the title, not more Triple Threat shenanigans! Lily Luna: I find it unfortunate that Destiny Figgins could not continue the match, a heinous assault from former friend Alison James tonight. Chris Pierce: And this win for Lazzou makes him the second ever AXW Triple Crown Winner! Lazzou is handed the Xperience Championship who clutches it close to him. Sullivan raises his hand. Lazzou raises the title into the air, and yells out, "No one's gonna stop me! Prepare for ninety days of destruction!" ----- Lethal Weapons are walking down the hallway, their new gold over their shoulders, when they are stopped by Craig Brooks. Craig Brooks: Gentlemen, congratulations on your title win earlier, first off, how you guys feeling? Justin Wyndham: We feel great, Craig, don't we TO'A? TO'A: Thrilled. TO'A said that with a straight face and a monotone voice. Craig Brooks: Typically, the former champions get a rematch clause, but seeing as what transpired after the match, that doesn't look like it's going to be the case. Who do you look forward to fighting next? TO'A: Anyone and everyone. Justin Wyndham: And we'll beat them just like we did War Horse. No one's taking these from us. Craig Brooks: One final question... the vending machine is jammed, could one of you help knock my bag of chips loose? Perhaps TO'A since-- Lethal Weapons walk off. Craig Brooks: Guys? Please?! I spent $1.25 on them! That was all I had! Craig follows after them hoping to get his chips. ----- The cameras focus on the mound of dirt to the side of the stage. There's a few shovels and a backhoe parked by it. Salvatore Pellegrino: This next contest is a Buried Alive Match! In order for Cross City Stallions to win, they must bury Mayhem alive. In order for Mayhem to win, he must bury one member of the Cross City Stallions alive. The energetic opening to “I Can't Drive 55” hits the speakers as out stomps the Cross City Stallions looking cocky aggressive and ready to roll! They strike a pose in a similar fashion to DX and throw up the 'cross' arm sign as a shoutout to their hometown on their way out and then Marky Mustang strikes a one knee kneeling pose while his brother Max Maximus stands behind him, unleashing a primal scream as the two throw their arms out and pose. Salvatore Pellegrino: Introducing first, from Cross City, Florida, at a combined weight of 503 pounds, Marky Mustang and "Mammoth" Max Maximus, they are the CROSS CITY STALLIONS! The two then walk down to the ring chewing gum and not really giving a damn how the crowd is reaction either way as they slide into the ring and ready for the match. The lights go dark as the ominous beginning of “Not to touch the Earth” rings out over the speakers. The lights begin to strobe slowly as if to make everything appear like it is in slow motion as the maniac himself MAYHEM enters the arena with a crazy look in his eyes! Salvatore Pellegrino: Their opponent, from Cross City, Florida, weighing in at 210 pounds, "The Loose Cannon" MAYHEM! He stomps his way down to the ring with a devilish smile with his signature biker vest and jeans on as he makes his way to the ring, ready to maim anyone that happens to be in the ring with him.   Mayhem and Marky immediately begin slugging it out while Max backs to a corner. Mayhem ends up raking the eye of Marky and hitting him with a Fly Swatter (Double Handed Ear Clap). Mayhem has Marky doubled over and drops him to the mat with a Jumping Piledriver. Mayhem turns his attention to Max. Mayhem approaches him and Max holds his hands up in defense, which is futile as Mayhem pummels away at him in the corner. Marky gets back up and clubs Mayhem in the back. The two fight once more with both going out to the floor courtesy of a Cactus Clothesline from Mayhem. Mayhem grabs the hair of Marky and knees him in the face. Marky reaches under the ring and pulls out a kendo stick. He slams it repeatedly across the back of Marky. Mayhem screams at the front row fans and steals a chair, continuing his onslaught on his older brother. Max, in the ring, looks like he wants to help Marky, but is too still fearful of Mayhem. Mayhem again grabs Marky by the hair and starts to walk him up the ramp. Marky starts to fight back and lifts Mayhem up for a Sidewinder Suplex on the ramp. Marky brings Mayhem up to the stage and slams him into the set. Marky tries for a suplex which Mayhem counters with a suplex of his own onto the stage. Mayhem brings Marky to the edge of the stage and has him doubled over as if he's about to powerbomb him off the stage. Marky counters with a back body drop, sending Mayhem off the stage and through an equipment table. Marky comes down from the stage and grabs Mayhem. He brings him over to the dirt mound and throws him in the hole. The backhoe operator begins to pour the dirt in, but Mayhem climbs out. Marky tries to keep Mayhem down, but Mayhem doesn't stay down. Marky looks to set him up for a Wyld Stallyns DDT (Future Shock DDT), but Mayhem gets free and takes Marky down with a Side Russian Leg Sweep. Mayhem goes back towards the equipment table he crashed through and grabs some cable, and uses it to choke Marky. He brings Marky back to his feet and slams him into the side of the stage. Mayhem brings him back towards the mound and throws him into the backhoe. Mayhem grabs a shovel and uses it to again choke Marky. He then slams the shovel down on Marky, not really caring what body part he hits. Mayhem throws Marky down in the hole and signals for the backhoe to back off, and starts to bury Marky himself with the shovel. Marky gets back out and trips Mayhem. Mayhem gets right back up and kicks Marky in the head. Mayhem lifts Marky up and drops him on the floor with the Worst Nightmare (Sheer Drop Brain Buster)! A sadistic smile grows on Mayhem's face as he drags Marky back towards the hole, and that's when Mayhem is nailed with a big boot from Max! Max mounts mayhem and throws some hard punches. Max lifts Mayhem and carelessly throws him into the hole with a powerbomb! The backhoe dumps dirt in the hole, and it's clear Mayhem is not coming back out. Salvatore Pellegrino: Here are your winners, CROSS CITY STALLIONS! Mike Vincent: Max Maximus has finally overcome his fear of his youngest brother, helping Marky to get to the win tonight. Cole Haywood: Max is like eight times the size of Mayhem, but I guess it's good to see he's not a big scaredy cat anymore. Lily Luna: Well with what Mayhem put Max through when they were younger, it's perfectly understandable why he was so afraid. Chris Pierce: And perhaps now, Cross City Stallions can finally focus on re-climbing the ranks in the tag team division.
Max helps Marky to his feet, and helps walks him off backstage.

Salvatore Pellegrino: This next No Disqualifications Contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the AXW Light Heavyweight Championship! "Twilight Zone" by Golden Earring 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. "Dammit" plays and out walks Trent Mathews and Sam De Santa. Trent drops to his knees with his arms outspread as Sam stands behind him with her hand on her hip, with pyro raining down behind them. Trent stands up and they make their way down to the ring. Trent slides into the ring and climbs a turnbuckle, raising his title into the air. Salvatore Pellegrino: Introducing first, the challenger, from Camden, Tennessee, weighing in at 220 pounds, he is the BWF Chaos Theory Champion, "Mr. Most Hated" DANNY HALL! Danny raises his fist into the air. Salvatore Pellegrino: And his opponent, accompanied to the ring by Sam De Santa, from Owasco, New York, weighing in at 217 pounds, he is the defending AXW Light Heavyweight Champion, TRENT MATHEWS! Trent raises his championship into the air, while Sam De Santa claps in approval.   Sam is on the apron, running her mouth to Hall who heads over to her taking a swipe as he’s then blindsided by Trent as Gus Ramos signals the start of the match. Trent hits a ZigZag right off the mat, yelling at Ramos, going for a quick cover, getting a two count. Trent hits some quick kicks, doubling Hall over. Trent is yelling at Hall, “You don’t touch her!” pointing to Sam, who claps for her client, before hitting the ropes, a rising Hall nailing a throat chop to Trent, who gasps for air before Hall drills him with a double arm DDT! Hall goes for the cover, getting a two count of his own. Hall wastes no time, hitting a step up enziguri to a rising Trent, which sends him down, but not before Hall rears off and fires a stiff kick to the side of Trent’s head as Sam is screaming on the outside, Hall going for another cover, getting a long two count. Hall tries for the cover again, getting the same result. Hall motions for Trent to get to his feet, the crowd waiting for what’s next, as Hall tries a Clothesline From Hall, but Trent manages to duck, spinning Hall around, hitting a double knee smash and then a stalling brainbuster, going for the cover yet again, but only getting a two count. Trent stomps away at Hall before hitting a standing moonsault, but once again Hall kicks out at the count of two. Trent, a bit frustrated, is calmed and encouraged by Sam who motions to the outside. Trent nods, heading to the apron as we see Hall trying to get to his feet. Trent springboards up, trying for a clothesline as Hall staggers and manages to see this out of the corner of his eye, firing off Shot Heard Round The World (Superkick) to a descending Trent that has LOUD connection as the crowd roars, Hall collapsing onto Trent for the cover..but it never comes as Sam de Santa is on the apron with Gus Ramos! Shaking his head, Hall gets to his feet, nudging Gus out of the way, getting in the face of de Santa, who goes for a slap, but is caught by the wrist! With a smirk, Hall slingshots Sam into the ring as she crashes onto the mat, looking up at Hall, eyes wide with fear and shock! Sam looks to head out of the ring, but Hall grabs her by the hair, laughing as he puts Sam over his knee, licking his fingertips before slapping her on the ass to the delight of the crowd, especially the men in attendance! Sam manages to get away as Hall feigns a look of disappointment. Through all of this, he hasn’t seen Trent creep to his feet, the crowd yelling, trying to get Hall to turn around, but not in time as Trent hits him in the back with a chair. Danny falls to his knees, and Trent informs Sam to come back in. Sam holds the chair against the back of Danny's head as Trent bounces off the ropes. Trent looks for the chair-assisted Trentsetter, but Danny manages to get out of the way as Trent ends up driving his knee into the chair. Sam is quick on her feet and look to hit Danny with the chair, Danny ducking and hoisting Sam onto his shoulders, planting her with the Hallway to Hell (Roode Bomb)! Trent tries to attack Danny but is kicked in the gut, and promptly lifted for a Hallmark Gift (Powerbomb Lungblower)! Ramos is there to count the cover. One! Two! Three! Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner, and the NEW AXW Light Heavyweight Champion, DANNY HALL! Mike Vincent: Danny Hall is officially the first ever two-time AXW Light Heavyweight Champion! Cole Haywood: And he did so by laying his hands on poor Sam De Santa! She's not a wrestler! Frankly, she should sue! Lily Luna: It's all legal in No Disqualifications. Danny came in with the disadvantage but ensured that it wouldn't hold him back. Chris Pierce: Danny Hall has been winning titles left and right, becoming a three-time BWF Chaos Theory Champion and now a two-time AXW Light Heavyweight Champion. "Twilight Zone" replays and Danny is handed the Light Heavyweight Championship, as well as his BWF Chaos Theory Championship, and lifts both into the air. He climbs a few turnbuckles before exiting the ring and making his way to the back. ----- We open backstage with Max Kilburne as we see someone pacing nearby. Max Kilburne: “Ladies and gentlemen, Duncan Aries.” Aries, clad in a denim jacket, the collar popped, Aviator shades over his eyes, his brown hair slicked back, greets us with a smirk to a mixed reaction. Max Kilburne: “Duncan, Domination is in the books, and now tonight you get your chance-“ Aries rips the mic from Max, shoving him out of the way and shaking his head in disgust before turning to the camera. Duncan Aries: “My chance? Whatever do you mean? This isn’t about a chance, this is about DESTINY. This company NEEDS me as the champion, because right now, that championship I MADE FAMOUS is the laughing stock of this industry. It’s like I said, I don’t care who, I don’t care how, but I WILL do the old saying of “third times a charm” one better by becoming the AXW Champion for the FOURTH TIME!” Again, the crowd gives Aries a mixed reaction as he removes his shades. Duncan Aries: “Tonight, this isn’t just for AXW and the betterment of the whole product. Tonight this is.. Aries holds up four fingers with a smirk. Duncan Aries: “FOUR ME!” Aries winks and puts his shades back on before tossing the mic to the side and walking off in his usual confident stride. ----- “Say Hello” blares over the PA system as Anthony Royal slowly emerges through the curtain. He smirks and throws his arms above his head before strutting down the ramp. He mostly ignores the crowd, only occasionally taking the time to mock and berate them. Jen Brunelli: This next contest is set for 2 out of 3 Falls! Introducing first, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, weighing 227 pounds, ANTHONY ROYAL! As he approaches the ring, he hops onto the ring apron, looking back at the crowd, smirking and shaking his head in disgust before entering the ring. He then climbs to the nearest turnbuckle and stares out into the crowd before hopping down and waiting for the match to begin. "Hear Me Now" plays throughout the arena and Malcolm M. Mitchell makes his way to the stage. He takes a moment to taunt, throwing shadow punches, then runs his hands through his hair and flicks the water off his hands, keeping his arms spread with his head up, soaking in the reaction from the crowd. Jen Brunelli: And his opponent, from Riviera Beach, Florida, weighing in at 214 pounds, MALCOLM M. MITCHELL! He walks down to the ring with confidence in every step. Malcolm enters the ring, climbs to the second turnbuckle, and does the same taunt he did on the stage.   It appears the two are about to lock up and instead Anthony kicks Malcolm in his taped-up midsection. Royal slams Mitchell to the mat with a suplex. Royal continues to take advantage of Alliance of Truth's doing this past Monday, punching away at Malcolm's midsection. Royal sends Mitchell to the ropes and delivers a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker, earning a two count. Malcolm is sent to the corner where Royal comes in with a shoulder block. Royal tries whipping Mitchell to the ropes but Malcolm sends Royal instead. On the rebound Royal ducks down and takes Mitchell down with a Spear! This sees another two count. Royal lifts Mitchell back to his feet where Mitchell leaps up with a picture perfect dropkick. Malcolm locks, or tries to lock Royal in a Sleeper Hold, but Royal elbows himself free. Royal bounces back off the ropes but is lifted up by a Sit-out Spinebuster from Mitchell. Royal gets back to his feet and Malcolm takes him back down with a Cutter. Royal rolls out of the ring and Mitchell throws caution to the wind, jumping over the top rope with a Tope Con Hilo! Malcolm slides into the ring and leans against the ropes, more than happy to take a count out victory for his first fall. Royal gets back in at the count of ten. Royal is brought back down with a Swinging Neckbreaker. Malcolm awaits for Royal to get back up. Royal does and tries a clothesline which Malcolm ducks and promptly delivers a Blue Thunder Bomb! Malcolm gets a two count for his troubles. Malcolm sets Royal up for a Hammerlock DDT, but Royal spins free and swiftly takes Malcolm to the canvas with a Royal Mutilation (Shelton Benjamin’s “Pay Dirt”)! Royal covers and gets the first fall of the match. Jen Brunelli: The winner of the first fall, ANTHONY ROYAL! Jessie McCormick keeps Royal separated while ensuring Malcolm can continue. Malcolm gets to the corner and Jessie calls for the match to continue. Royal runs in at Malcolm but Malcolm moves out of the way. Royal collides with the turnbuckles before getting rolled up, Malcolm getting a close two count. Malcolm nails Royal with an Enzuigiri. Malcolm follows up with a Jumping Shoulder Jawbreaker. Malcolm jumps into the air and connects with a Double Knee Drop to the midsection of Royal. Malcolm runs towards the ropes and springboards off them with a moonsault, doing perhaps as much damage to him as he did to Royal. This earns another two count for Malcolm. Malcolm takes Royal down with a simple Clothesline, and then kicks Royal in the gut and lifts him up for a Fisherman Suplex. Malcolm keeps hold of the leg and locks in a Figure Four Leg Lock. Royal cries out in pain, but manages to pull himself to the bottom rope. Malcolm breaks the hold and Royal uses the ropes to help himself up. Malcolm approaches Royal but gets an elbow to the side of the head. Royal springs off the middle rope and plants Malcolm with a Tornado DDT, getting a two count. Malcolm finds his way back to his feet before getting hit by a Spinning Heel Kick. Royal looks to end it as he lifts suplex lifts Malcolm into the air, but before he can put the nail in the coffin, Malcolm lands on his feet behind him and takes him down with a Zigzag! Malcolm connects with the Hammerlock DDT. Malcolm heads out to the apron and climbs the turnbuckles. Malcolm again disregards his midsection as he pays homage to his former tag partner, Leland Alexander, with Death from Above (Red Arrow)! Malcolm bounces off Royal and holds his gut, taking too long to get to the pin which allows Royal to kick out at two. Malcolm lifts Royal up and whips him to the corner. Royal stops himself from running into the turnbuckles by hopping onto the middle buckle. Malcolm quickly comes in and clubs Royal in the back. Malcolm climbs up with him before planting him to the mat with The Descend (Yokosuka Cutter from the second turnbuckle)! Jessie is there to count the three! Jen Brunelli: The winner of the second fall, MALCOLM M. MITCHELL! Both men are spent, and when Jessie informs them to continue the match, they meet in the middle of the ring trading forearms. Mitchell ends up winning the exchange and bounces off the ropes, only to be lifted up for a Flapjack. Royal hooks Malcolm's head and drops him with a Reverse DDT. Royal lifts Malcolm up and hits him with a European Uppercut. Malcolm then gets dropped by a German Suplex from Royal. From inside the ring, Royal pulls himself up to the top rope. Royal dives off with a Frog Splash and connects with Malcolm's knees. Malcolm slams Royal with a T-Bone Suplex. Malcolm starts to get fired up. He rips off the tape from his midsection, and pulls his knee pad down to his boot. He waits in the corner and when Royal is in position, Malcolm nails him with Sleep Tight (Busaiku Knee Kick)! Malcolm goes for the pin but Royal rolls out of the ring. Malcolm shouts at Jessie to count him out. One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six! Seven! Eight! Nine! Ten! Eleven! Twelve! Thirteen! Fourteen! Fifteen! Sixteen! Seventeen! Eighteen! Nineteen! Royal slides in at the last possible fraction of a second. Malcolm bounces off the ropes for momentum and tries for a Faceplant (Fame Asser), but Royal counters with a powerbomb! Royal picks Malcolm right back up before dropping him with Lights Out (Brainbuster)! One! Two! Three! Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, ANTHONY ROYAL! Mike Vincent: What an incredible match-up! Malcolm came into this match with pre-existing injuries from Monday, nut he certainly didn't let that stop him. Cole Haywood: If you didn't believe Anthony Royal was royalty before, you better now. He is not meant to be taken lightly. Lily Luna: Anthony Royal did come close to losing, but circumstances worked to his favor. Chris Pierce: Malcolm M. Mitchell did pin Royal tonight, but technically, Royal is still undefeated in singles action. Anthony Royal has his hand raised. He climbs the turnbuckles and denotes that he is here to stay and will soon become a champion. He exits the ring and makes his way to the back. When the smoke clears from that match, all the lights in the arena turn to a deep red. The following image appears on the Alternatron:  The image fades away as we head to the next ad break. |

The cameras focus on the AXW Women's Championship which is suspended over the ring. Jen Brunelli: This next contest is a 6 Woman Ladder Match for the AXW Women's Championship! “S-P-I-R-I-T Spirit!! Let’s hear it!! S-P-I-R-I-T Spirit!! Let’s hear it!!” Blue strobe lights roams around the arena like a trance as the opening tune of "Happy Song” by Bring Me The Horizon blares out of the PA system. “LET’S GO!” Out comes Janet Hurricane, her hoodie veil blinding her face. As the tempo gets faster and faster, we see her jumping up and down, still cannot see her face. Once we hear the lyrics, Janet reveals her face to the crowd and starts shadowing punching and kicking, feeling the energy of her theme song. She then starts walking her way to the ring, bopping her head to the music and in her own zone, not giving a damn about the fans’ reaction. Jen Brunelli: Introducing the challengers, first from Charlotte, North Carolina, weighing 120 pounds, she is "The Queen of the Ravenous Generation" JANET HURRICANE! Once she enters the ring, she takes off her hoodie and does a couple of shadow boxing, again feeling the energy of the music before it fades. As the tune of 'No One's Gonna Find Her In The Dark', a mashup between Panic! At The Disco and Fall Out Boy, starts to play, the lights go dim. The colors of pink and purple with green lazers start to shine through the area as Velvet comes out from behind the curtain. She points out to the fans while the music continues playing. Velvet walks down the ramp giving the 'rocker' sign and gives high-fives to the fans. Jen Brunelli: From Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing 125 pounds, VELVET VALENTINE! She walks up the steps and heads to the ropes. She blows a little kiss and straddles the ropes. Velvet glances into the camera and wiggles while pointing to the camera. As she gets into the ring, the chorus of her music begins to play. As the chorus is playing, Velvet is finally in the ring. She hops up onto the top turnbuckle and gives the 'rocker' sign once again, then yells at the fans to get them psyched up. She then jumps down from the turnbuckle and does a few arm stretches before the match starts. "Invincible" by Amaranthe hits, the fast pounding drums blaring loudly from the speakers as the lights dim completely. They come back to Android 18 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. She stops in the middle of the ramp, raising her hands to actually sign the words 'I am Invincible.' Jen Brunelli: Representing the Alliance of Truth, from Cork, Ireland, weighing 135 pounds, ANDROID 18! 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. "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, indifferent about having to be in Los Angeles. Jen Brunelli: Representing the Steve Corman Guys, from Pinecrest, Florida, weighing 126 pounds, CAITLIN SHAY! 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. Jen Brunelli: From Saratov, Russia, weighing 115 pounds, "Sister Inferior" OLYA OGLOVSKA! 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. A close up of a rain stained notebook, open to these words, spoken in a whisper by Hailey Harris. She believed she could, so she did. Wind from an open window blows the pages as "Stronger Than You Think" by Fireflight blares, a deep pink hue shines down on the hooded figure of one Hailey Harris, clad in a simple gray hoodie, the camera staring at the back, where a matching deep pink heart shines under the light, back around to Hailey who thrusts her arms in the air, pink pyros shooting up as Harris looks to the heavens with a smile before making her way to the ring. Jen Brunelli: And from Baltimore, Maryland, weighing 127 pounds, she is the defending AXW Women's Champion, "The Longshot" HAILEY HARRIS! She tosses back her hood at ringside before scaling the ring apron and looking out on her fans, entering the ring and scaling a turnbuckle, pointing out to all of them, before making a heart with her hands, leaping off as "Stronger Than You Think" fades out. She tosses off her hoodie to reveal a fishnet and silver corset top to go with her black leather pants with pink back pockets, pink fingerless gloves, and black boots.  Android 18 goes directly after Caitlin Shay, who gets out of the ring and out of harm’s way, while Olya takes advantage of the situation and grabs Android 18 for a Russian Leg Sweep! Janet and Hailey have started to trade blows, so when Olya got back to her feet, Velvet Valentine greeted her with a spinning heel kick! Back to her feet, Olya is met with a handspring back elbow from Valentine! Shay climbs onto the apron and springboards back in, connecting with a springboard headscissors to Valentine into the corner. Then, Shay cuts Hailey’s leg out from under her and Janet helps Shay in a double team. They lift Hailey onto the top rope and a double superplex comes in! Then, Janet and Shay call off the truce, and attack each other, with Janet getting a takedown and mounted punches, then the two trade positions, and Janet throws Shay off her. They scramble back to their feet and lock up again, this time Janet drives a knee into Shay’s gut followed by a sitout facebuster! Android 18 is back up and nails Janet with the Super Electric Strike (striking spear)! Android slides out of the ring and lifts a ladder onto the apron, only for it to come right back into her face with a baseball slide from Velvet Valentine! Valentine then grabs said ladder, pulls it into the ring, and begins setting it up. Just as she finishes, Olya grabs her by the hair, and Valentine is driven face-first into the ladder! Again, this time sending the ladder toppling, and it lands, tilted over but still unfolded, on the top rope. Olya sends Valentine out of the ring through the second rope, re-centers the ladder, and begins her ascent! She makes it halfway up when Hailey climbs up the opposite side. They begin to trade blows, Olya with chops and Hailey with fists. Eventually, Olya gets the upperhand, slams Hailey’s face on the ladder, and she falls down. Olya continues to climb and reaches for the belt, but Shay grabs her by the ankle and yanks her clean off the ladder just as she had a hand on the strap! Upon landing, Shay hits Olya with a Kiss of Death (reverse STO) but skips the submission part, eager to climb the ladder herself. She sees Android getting back in the ring and stomps on her entering body, again and again, before using her foot to push Android back out of the ring. Behind Shay, though, Valentine awaits, and a Dark Horse (sit-out scoop slam piledriver) is delivered to Shay! Valentine starts to climb but before she can go up a third rung, Janet grabs her and slams her back-first into the mat. She pulls Valentine back up and whips her into the ropes, but Valentine clutches the ropes. Janet charges, and Valentine sends her over the top with a back body drop, then scurries to the ladder, this time making her ascent unchallenged! As Valentine reaches the top and tries to grab the strap, though, it’s Hailey Harris shoving the ladder over and sending Valentine flying! Harris drops to a knee, then grabs the ladder, only for Android 18 to blindside her! A couple more forearms to the back, Harris to a knee, and Android then delivers a running knee to the side of her head! She closes the ladder and drops it to the ground, then delivers Non-Stop Violence (spinning headlock elbow drop) to her onto the ladder! Harris writhes in pain and eventually rolls out of the ring. Android gets to her feet and sees Janet is holding the ropes while on hers as well. Already having hit her with one, Android tries again for the Super Electric Strike, but Janet moves out of the way. Android uses the ropes to stop her momentum, but Janet has an opening, and nails Android with a beautiful disaster! Android flops to the mat. Janet rolls her out of the ring. She walks over to Olya and rolls her out of the ring. Shay, stirring, gets a few stomps, then pulled to her feet, and sent over the top rope! Valentine, still motionless, is rolled out as well. The ring is clear and Janet grabs the folded-up ladder and sets it up. The climb begins, with nobody in the ring to challenge her. She is just about there when it’s Shay who comes back in. She grabs Janet’s leg and they struggle back and forth, but Janet is able to shove Shay off of her leg! She climbs and puts her hands on the title, but Shay is back and has climbed up the same side as Janet! She tries for a Shayplex, but can only get the tiger half locked in, so she settles with that, and suplexes Janet off the ladder! Shay is down, but not for long. She crawls to the ladder and uses it to help herself up. Her ascent begins. She climbs it, and is nearing the top herself when Valentine starts to climb the other side! Valentine and Shay trade blows, but it’s Shay who knocks Valentine off! She reaches up for the title, but Android 18 starts to climb the ladder herself! Shay can’t quite grab the title, as Android 18 reaches her, and the two duke it out. All the while, Harris has set another ladder on the apron. She slides in. Android has the better striking game, and gains the advantage. Shay tries her best to hold on, but she falls off the ladder. Android tries to reach for the title, but it’s still swinging from Shay’s failed attempts, and she can’t quite get ahold of it before Harris uses the other ladder and rams Android 18’s ladder! Android bails, landing and rolling, but still able-bodied. Harris sets her ladder up, and Android 18, as soon as Harris begins to climb, slams the knocked-over ladder back up and into Harris’ ladder! Harris is able to steady the ladder, but not before Android 18 begins to climb the other one, side-by-side with Harris. They race to the top, occasionally swinging or kicking at the other person, and meet at the top. Fists and feet are flying when Velvet joins the fray! She, on the opposite side of Android 18, helps Harris to knock her off, with some unexpected fists! Now, Valentine and Harris do battle, with Valentine quickly gaining the upperhand! Suddenly, it’s Shay climbing up next to Valentine, and she blindsides Valentine! The 2-on-1 assault gets the best of Valentine, and then Shay and Harris do battle, both on the same ladder. Janet recognizes the opportunity, and tries to sneak by them both on the other ladder, but Olya comes in and climbs that ladder as well! All four women are at the top, trading blows. Android 18 is stirring, and Harris sees it. 18 grabs the Olya/Janet ladder, and starts to shove it over, into the other ladder, and Harris jumps down just before the two ladders are sent tumbling, with Shay, Janet, and Olya still on them! All three women crash to the mat, and it’s Harris, who Android hadn’t seen bail, who hits Android with Check This Out(Mic Check)! Then, free of all other competitors, Hailey makes the climb up the ladder again, and this time, we have a winner, as Hailey unhooks the belt. Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, and STILL the AXW Women's Champion, HAILEY HARRIS! Mike Vincent: Even with the odds stacked against her, Hailey Harris retains her Women's Championship! Cole Haywood: This attitude change of Hailey is certainly doing wonders for her career, and I for one am for it. Lily Luna: I'm not a fan of the attitude change, but she certainly is proving her worth in the ring. Chris Pierce: Hailey has held the title more than anyone else, and is looking to regain the title she once held of longest reign. Hailey is atop the ladder and hoists her championship into the air. She climbs down and exits the ring, backing up the ramp holding her title high. ----- We're backstage in the locker room of the Steve Corman Guys. Absent is of course Caitlin Shay, who just competed. Steve Corman: You did good. Damien Steele: I know I did. Steve Corman: That's what I like about you, kid. As for you, you're gonna do the same, right? Jack Adams: Of course I am, boss. Steve Corman: That's what I like to here. Go get 'em. Jack Adams pumps himself up before leaving the room. Steve is focused on Jack leaving the room. Damien's eyes are noticeably fixed on the AXW Championship. Steve brings his attention back to Damien, the two now making eye contact. Steve Corman: You really do got some balls of steel. Going after a seven foot freak without our help, eliminating a fellow Corman Guy in that battle royal. Damien Steele: He was a weak link. We all knew it. And Deimos? He's laughable. I could've beat him blindfolded. I'll leave you to get ready for your big title match later. Damien exits, leaving Steve alone as we go back to ringside. ----- The opening chords of "The Right Direction" by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus rolls throughout the arena. There’s a fountain of pyro at the three second mark as the song hits. Three spotlights shine and revolve around as if searching for someone, and the fans are on their feet, cheering in anticipation for the hero they know is coming. At the seven second mark, the hooded figure steps from behind the curtain and through the pyro looking down. The song builds to the fourteen second mark as he throws his hood back and arms out, fired up, as there’s a loud pop of orange and white pyro from the stage. Gabe Shelley responds to the cheers of the fans by pounding his chest and pointing out to them. The fans are positively crazy about Gabe. He begins to make his way to the ring and is sure to tap hands of fans on the ramp. Salvatore Pellegrino: This next contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first, from Columbus, Ohio, weighing in at 220 pounds, here is "the reVolution" GABE SHELLEY! I will never understand the path you chose Chemical parasitic waste inside your bowels So wrap it up while you still can While you got the offer in I just can't believe That you'd throw it all away Now you falsely return today As you're falling on your face Shelley makes his way up the steel steps and jumps to the second turnbuckle and looks around the arena with a smile on his face. He jumps into the ring as his hood comes back up, landing on his feet. He goes to the middle of the ropes ropes facing camera side and jumps to the second one. He flips the hood back once again and makes finger guns at the camera and fires with a wink. "Too Drunk to Fuck" by the Dead Kennedys kicks in as a smirking Jack Adams comes jogging out from the back. He looks at the crowd, laughing to himself as he walks to the ring, all the while Adams is goading the fans and prevoking them, daring them to punch him, before feigning punching them himself. Generally, just being a bully. Salvatore Pellegrino: His opponent, representing the Steve Corman Guys, from Fort Payne, Alabama, weighing in at 230 pounds, he is "The Last Real Man" JACK ADAMS! Adams slides into the ring and being the dick he is, just yells to the hard camera "LAST REAL MAN ALIVE!"   Gabe Shelley and Jack Adams face off and it's clear that these two men do not like each other as Shelley gets straight to business with some stiff right hands. He sent Adams into the ropes and caught him with T-Bone Suplex! Shelley kept up the pace by following that with an Exploder Suplex and tried to continue it with a Scoop Slam but Adams fought out of his grip and began nailing him with Knife Edge chops. Jack used the chops to back Shelley into the corner and brought him out of it with a Throwdown Spinebuster! Shelley bounced to his feet just to turn right into a Meat Hook Lariat from Jack. Adams nailed Shelley down with an Alabama Stompdown, until Shelley managed to roll away and get his feet under him. Shelley charged Adams, hitting a Scoop Slam, before bounding up to the top turnbuckle and coming down on his fallen opponent with a big Frog Splash! He hooked Jack's leg and got a one count for his trouble. Shelley continued his offensive with a Swinging Neckbreaker and then a Belly to Back Suplex on the still stunned Adams. Jack clambered to his feet and managed a burst of retaliation with more knife edge chops that drove Shelley back so Adams could get the run up to deliver a Running Arched Boot right to Gabe's head. He used the shift in power to deliver a Running Corner Powerbomb. But his steam was short lived as attempted to lift Shelley again, Gabe battled out of his grip with some gut punches. Getting a hold on Adams's neck, he took advantage of his nearness to the ropes to deliver a devastating Springboard Tornado DDT. Gabe leaped up the turnbuckles again, but Jack met him at the top rope. The two exchanged punches up in no man’s land, until Shelley shoved Adams down. Adams landed hard on his back but still had the wherewithal to roll out of the way of Shelley's Frog Splash attempt and Gabe ate canvas as a result. Jack pulled Shelley to his feet and whipped him into the ropes as a set up for a vicious Polish Hammer. Jack lifted Shelley, this time with no fight from Shelley so he lands a Delayed Suplex. Shelley laid motionless, so Jack stopped and flexed and scowled at the booing crowd shouting 'LAST REAL MAN!' The taunting turned out to have bought Shelley enough time to get his wind back, he popped up and grabbed a stunned, Adams delivering a shocking Jersey Cutter (Twist of Fate)! Shelley hooked the leg and breathed a sigh of frustration after Jack kicked out at two. He pulled Jack up and the two exchanged more Knife Edge Chops and right hands respectively. Jack landed a chop that that allowed him to close the distance and drop Shelley with a Guillotine Neckbreaker. He seized the moment and picked Shelley up driving home a Alabama Slam (Short Throw down Powerbomb)! Shelley kicked out after a close two count and Jack grimaced in frustration, arguing with the ref. Once again the stoppage cost Jack, who walked right into a Cannon Ball (Similar to the Codebreaker, but Gabe's knees are in his opponents chest)! Gabe covered, but the ref stopped the count after noticing Jack's foot under the ropes. Shelley rolled away and hopped to his feet, he turned and went for a run up on Adams but got taken down by a lariat. Adams wasted no time in setting Shelley up for his Gotch-Style Piledriver finisher! This time the Ref didn’t see Jack’s feet on the ropes for leverage, or his handful of Shelley’s tights. Shelley struggled out of the gripe, only after the third count. Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner, JACK ADAMS! Mike Vincent: Jack Adams using the ropes to cement his win, but the record books will show he defeated Gabe Shelley tonight. Cole Haywood: Used the ropes? Lily Luna: Yes, he had his fee-- Cole Haywood: I didn't see nothin'! Chris Pierce: You set yourself up for that one, Lily.
Jack rolls out of the ring and jogs around the ring holding his arms up. Jack backs up the ramp, taking the time to talk down to the fans on his way to the back. Meanwhile, Shelley is holding the back of his head. He's not gonna argue with referee Shane Gates, he'll get his retribution soon enough.

Salvatore Pellegrino: Ladies and gentlemen, this is your Main Event! It's a Triple Threat contest scheduled for one fall, and is for the AXW Championship! In addition, should anyone interfere, they will be terminated from AXW. The arena lights descend to darkness, as the tron displays an old black and white vision of an apocalyptic scene, as within a broken building we hear the crackle and zap of electricity, pulses of computers, as there, standing before the rubble is a figure in a denim jacket and tattered denim jeans. The figure turns slowly, and forms a smirk from under a pair of black Aviator shades. "Not even God can save you.." The crowd roars to "Not Even God" by Digital Summer, as some are booing, some cheering, an ice blue hue filling the ramp and entrance, a thin mist that under a spotlight has an eerie glow for one Duncan Aries! Aries has his back to us, looking down, before spinning around, arms crossed and head cocked in a smirk. Aries strides to the ring, paying no mind before tossing his shades into the crowd and leaping onto the apron. Entering the ring, Aries spins around, basking in the glow of the reaction, positive or negative, tossing off his jacket, yelling out "Because I'm Duncan Aries, motherfuckers!" as "Not Even God" fades out. PUT ON YOUR WAR PAINT! The lights in the arena all cut to black and the Tron comes to life, pulsating with a green light as a quiet beat gets louder with every flash. It gets faster and faster, and louder with each pulse, until the pulsating light explodes into the words "Blazenwing Rises" and “The Phoenix” by Fall Out Boy blares across the arena sound system. You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down Strike a match and I'll burn you to the ground We are the jack-o-lanterns in July Setting fire to the sky He-here comes this rising tide So come on PUT ON YOUR WAR PAINT! The stage fills with smoke and the crowd rises to their feet, cheering loudly, as the smoke clears on the stage and a man in a dark green trenchcoat stands, head down, facing the Tron. He raises his hands and snaps his fingers, causing four loud bursts of pyro to ignite, two on each side of him, before spinning around Y2J style to reveal David Slayton! Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope-to-dies Silver clouds with grey linings So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked One maniac at a time we will take it back You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start So dance alone to the beat of your heart His sunglasses shining with the glare from the arena lights, David looks to the left, then to the right, nodding towards the crowd before walking down the ramp. After stopping to slap hands with a few fans, David moves towards the ring steps and hops up and down a few times in front of them before quickly racing up the steps to the apron side facing the stage. He stops and pulls his sunglasses off, then tosses them behind his head into the crowd before leaning down and stepping through the ropes to enter the ring. Hey young blood Doesn't it feel like our time is running out? I'm gonna change you like a remix Then I'll raise you like a phoenix You're wearing our vintage misery No, I think it looked a little better on me I'm gonna change you like a remix Then I'll raise you like a phoenix David walks across the ring and leaps up onto the second rope in the corner nearest the timekeeper, then pulls off his green trenchcoat and tosses it towards the timekeeper. David smirks and points to the fans, then slaps his chest a few times and points up towards the sky, closing his eyes and saying a short prayer. David leaps down from the corner and immediately turns to sit down in the same corner, ala Raven. David then rests his head on the second turnbuckle pad as his theme fades and the crowd continues cheering. begins to play. The crowd reacts with overall boos and jeers, but there is the small population of fans, for either nostalgia or just plain assholes, that cheer and do the hero worship wave, wearing Icon Merch. Big Stevie Cool walks out dressed in his classic BSC ring attire, black shiny side lace up pants and a black wrestling tank with "BSC" on the front. As well as a black elbow pad on his right elbow with "ICON" written in gold across it. He stops to look around the arena and the boos being thrown in his direction. Corman makes it very clear to the fans that “all of this” is because of Him. He smiles his cocky smile, then double thumb points to himself, taps his right index finger on his temple and slowly pans his left hand, index finger extended, around the arena; indicating that he’s smarter than each and every one of them, then Corman slowly raises his arms over his head, making the trademark Highrollers hand gesture (basically the wolfpack, while moving his thumbs around in the international sign for MONEY). He makes his way to the ring, as the A-Hole High Rollers fans cheer and do the "Icon" worship wave as Corman nods, points, and smiles at the camera. He climbs the stairs, planting each foot, and walks across the apron. He stops and the referee holds open the ropes as Corman enters the ring. Corman smirks and again repeats the High Rollers hand gesture by the ropes. Salvatore Pellegrino: Introducing the challengers, first, representing The Alliance of Truth, from San Diego, California, weighing in at 238 pounds, "The Wild Card" DUNCAN ARIES! Duncan walks right up to Steve, points at the title, and signals he will be leaving with it. Salvatore Pellegrino: From Milwaukee, Wisconsin, weighing in at 245 pounds, here is "The New Hotness" DAVID SLAYTON! David pulls himself up from his seated position. He steps to the middle of the ring, and to the shock of everyone, hits Duncan Aries with The Full Effect (Sweet Chin Music)! Duncan rolls out of the ring as David is anticipating the ringing of the bell. Salvatore Pellegrino: And from Hamilton, Ontario, weighing 275 pounds, he is the defending AXW Champion, "The Icon" STEVE CORMAN! Steve takes no chances and charges at David with the title, who ducks it, the bell being rung by Matt Baker.   David throws jabs at Steve before looking to hit him with The Full Effect, but Corman catches the foot and spins Slayton around, taking him down with a clothesline. Steve takes Slayton down with a few more clotheslines before hitting a Running High Knee. David tries to fight back with a kick but Corman catches it for a Leg Hook Chokeslam. This gets a two count for Steve who takes David back down with a snapmare followed by the rolling necksnap. Steve throws David into the corner and follows suit, but Slayton gets the boot up. Slayton delivers a bulldog to Corman. Slayton lifts Corman up for a Double Underhook Backbreaker. Slayton follows up with a Sit-Out Facebuster, then proceeds to repeatedly punch Corman in the face. Slayton lifts Steve for two consecutive German Suplexes, and upon going for the third, Corman breaks free and connects with Triple German Suplexes of his own. Corman drives Slayton to the canvas with a Snapmare Driver. Corman follows up a scoop slam. Corman heads out to the apron, throws his elbow pad into the crowd, and ascends the turnbuckles. Corman takes the long fall to the floor as Aries shoves him off the turnbuckle. Aries climbs the turnbuckles and dives off with a diving elbow drop of his own to Slayton, getting a two count. Duncan attacks Slayton with left and right hooks, a European uppercut, and finishes with a roundhouse kick. Aries whips Slayton to the ropes and slams him down with a snap powerslam. Aries pulls himself to the middle turnbuckle and comes off with a Hart style elbow from second rope. Aries slams Slayton twice with a double powerbomb, earning a two count. Aries is nailed by a forearm by Corman. Corman fights both Aries and Slayton, delivering The Icon-Plex (Exploder Suplex) to Slayton which ultimately eliminates him from the ring. Aries takes the advantage with an Orton style backbreaker. Aries slams Corman to the mat with a belly to back suplex. Corman gets to his knees, holding his back, and is hit with some stiff kicks to the sternum by Aries. Aries gets a one count. Aries lifts Corman to his feet and Corman hits Aies in the gut. Corman runs the ropes for momentum only to get lifted up for a sidewalk slam. Corman gets back to his feet where he is rocked by an Enter Gideon (Beautiful Disaster Kick). Slayton comes back into the ring and Aries plants him with a San Diego Driver (Full Nelson pickup released into a wheelbarrow facebuster). Aries pin Slayton, getting a two count. He pins Corman, another two count. Aries looks to end it as he lifts Corman up for The Culmination (Front slam pickup swung into a Rock Bottom), but before he can swing him out, Slayton hits Aries with another Full Effect! Corman of course lands in perfect pinning position on Aries, causing Slayton to quickly toss him from the ring and pins Aries himself. One! Two! Three! NO! Aries kicks out. Slayton stays on the attack, delivering a Lou Thesz Press followed by mounted punches. Aries is slammed to the mat not once, not twice, but three times as Slayton delivers the Triple Vertical Suplexes. Slayton jumps as high as he can into the air for a Jumping Elbowdrop, getting two on a nonchalant cover. Slayton hoists Aries up for a Samoan Drop, and doesn't stop there as he lifts him back up for a Death Valley Driver. Slayton tries for the submission victory as he traps Aries in the Firehawk Lock (Crippler Crossface)! Aries has nowhere to go and is perhaps about to tap, when Corman pulls Slayton off of him and locks Slayton in The Famouser (Crippler Crossface)! Slayton is agony, when he is saved by Aries, who pulls Corman off and locks Corman in the Ace Of Spades (Crippler Crossface)! This gets broken up by Slayton, who just stomps at the both of them. Slayton tries to fight off both as they get to their feet, and it turns into a cycle of punches from all men. Corman throws a punch to Aries, who throws a punch to Slayton, who throws a punch to Corman, repeat. Eventually, Slayton tries to once again catch Aries off guard with a Full Effect, but Aries catches his foot and spins Slayton around, the boot of Slayton instead hitting Corman. Corman is down and Slayton naturally tries to go for the pin, but is stopped by Aries, who lifts Slayton up for The Culmination, Slayton elbowing himself free and drops Aries with a DDT. Slayton locks Aries in a Dragon Sleeper. Aries manages to fight out of it, mostly by being flexible enough to kick Slayton in the head. Aries lifts Slayton back up for The Culmination, and this time is finally able to connect with it. Aries hooks the leg. One! Two! Three! NOPE! It's broken up at the last second by Corman. Corman and Aries enter a slug fest, which sees Corman backing Aries to the corner. Corman follows up with some back elbows to the cornered Aries. Corman pulls Aries out and plants him with The Iconic Slam (Rock Bottom). Slayton has got back to his feet and receives one as well. Corman goes back out to the apron and ascends to the top turnbuckle, looks down at both men, and hits both of them in the chest with each elbow! Corman tries pinning both at the same time, and they both kick out at two. Corman focuses on Aries first and brings him to his feet, looking to whip him to the corner. Instead, Aries reverses and it's Corman who gets cornered. Aries runs in at Corman, Corman back body dropping Aries over the rope, with Aries hitting the steps on his way down. Corman is then met with fists from Slayton, who then drops Corman to the mat with a Neckbreaker. Slayton looks to win his third AXW Championship the same way he won his second - From the Ashes (Frog Splash). He goes out and climbs to the top rope, but Corman has already gotten back to his feet, and causes Slayton to lose his balance and fall back down to the mat. Corman swiftly brings Slayton to his feet, lifts him up, and plants him with the Icon Bomb (Running Powerbomb)! Senior Official Matt Baker is there as he makes the cover. One! Two! Three! Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner, and STILL the AXW Champion, STEVE CORMAN! Mike Vincent: Steve Corman holds onto the AXW Championship, he was definitely given a run for his money tonight. Cole Haywood: If you didn't believe Steve Corman had what it takes, look no further. He's defended the title twice this week against a total of three men. He can still hang with anyone. Lily Luna: As you once said Cole, we're in Corman Country now. That became very evident tonight, he certainly isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Chris Pierce: And the best part about this match, no interference on behalf of any party. Corman won this as fair as can be.
Corman is handed his title and has his hand raised. He exits the ring where Damien Steele and Jack Adams are waiting for him. All were winners tonight. Steele and Adams lift Corman up and back up the ramp, Corman raising his AXW Championship high. Pyro explodes from the stage as we close the night.
Cole Haywood: Truly a magnificent sight.
Mike Vincent: Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for tuning in to Rise! Our next event is the AXW Hall of Fame, which will air on the BWF Network! Good night!
