Mexico City, Mexico
Episode XLVI
A small pyrotechnics display happens at the top of the stage. Cameras pan across the crowd before we hear the welcoming voice of Lily Luna.
Lily Luna: Live from the capital of Mexico, this is The Alternative! I'm Lily Luna joined by Chris Pierce.
Chris Pierce: We've got five matches in store for you tonight, let's get to the first one.
The dance and pop-esque opening sound of "Boss Bitch" by the Millionaires begins to play throughout the arena while Lavender and Magenta lazers begin flashing. Just then would the Dominator In Distress herself walks out from behind the curtains, sashaying her way to the top of the ramp with her hand on her hip, the spotlight following her every move.
"I'm the type of girl that your momma never wanna meet
Centerfold in your daddy's hidden magazine
I'm kinda sweet and fake like Splenda
Topless on the beach, you can call me Kendra"
In between this stanza does Rochelle run her hand through her hair and winks while smiling towards the ring.
"But I'm not like the girl next door
Inbetween a cheerleader and a whore
Ra-ra-raw like sushi
Always keep it clean, no douching"
The chorus for the song starts as Rochelle begins to strut down the ramp, swaying her hips as she looks at the capacity crowd.
Jen Brunelli: This opening contest is set for one fall! Introducing first, making her AXW in-ring debut, from Long Island, New York, weighing 117 pounds, "The Dominator in Distress" ROCHELLE!
When she reaches ringside, she walks up the steel steps before walking along the ring apron, looking back at the crowd and blows a seductive and alluring kiss. Rochelle steps the bottom and middle ropes to get into the ring, walking to the center and taking a full spin before fluffing her hair up and blowing another kiss.
“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: Her opponent, 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.
Olya and Rochelle lock up. The more experienced Olya has Rochelle in a side headlock and takes her to the mat. Olya follows up with a Hip Toss and a Dropkick. Olya approaches Rochelle where Rochelle suddenly rolls Olya up with a quick schoolgirl, one count. Rochelle nails a Side Kick to the gut of Olya. Rochelle pulls the hair of Olya before slamming her hard to the mat. Rochelle follows up with a Running One-handed Bulldog and gets two off of it. Rochelle lifts Olya up for a Scoop Slam before delivering a Corner Slingshot Splash. Rochelle gets two before Olya kicks out. Olya takes control back after a knee to the gut and a Fisherwoman's Suplex. Olya takes Rochelle back down with a Snapmare with Rolling Neck Snap. Olya continues her onslaught with a Dragon Suplex. Olya hoists Rochelle onto her shoulders for an Airplane Spin, then executes a Rolling Fireman's Carry Slam. Olya gets two. Olya sends Rochelle off to the ropes and ducks down for a back body drop, where Rochelle counters with an I.P.A (I'm Prettier Anyway) [Sitout Facebuster]. Rochelle climbs to the top rope where she leaps off for a Diving Crossbody. She hooks both legs and still only gets two. Rochelle jumps on Olya with a Lou Thesz Press and follows up with head slams. Rochelle climbs back to the top rope, perhaps to set up Slay You Dead [Blockbuster], but she's pulled from the top rope and driven to the mat by Black Velvet (Inverted crucifix cutter) from Velvet Valentine!
Jen Brunelli: Your winner by disqualification, Rochelle!
Lily Luna: Perhaps not the way Rochelle wanted to win her first match, but she seems to have made a mistake last week by making two enemies right off the bat.
Chris Pierce: Olya Oglovska and Velvet Valentine might be rivals, but perhaps they can put differences aside for a new common enemy.
Olya doesn't seem thrilled about Velvet's interference, but the latter doesn't care and exits the ring, she made the statement she wanted to make at Rochelle's expense.

We cut backstage where Beauty & the Jekyll are standing by. Bray is running his hand over his goatee.
Bray Coleman: Every team in AXW has the same goal: to become AXW Tag Team Champions. Our goal is no different. We want those titles just as bad as everyone else, but we realize we're not at the top of the ladder. And with the re-emergence of The Push, it seems they automatically become the number two team.
Michael Veaga: If I remember correctly, we've defeated The Nintendudes in the past. Which means that we've defeated former two-time AXW Tag Team Champions in The Push. Just let that sink in for a second.
Bray Coleman: We've also defeated former AXW Tag Team Champions in the Cross City Stallions. I guess that would make us the number three team in AXW. This is a message directed to the entire tag division: we're always watching. Don't sleep on us. Otherwise, the next time we defeat former AXW Tag Team Champions will be the time where Beauty & the Jekyll become the champions.
-----
“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 one fall! 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.
"Everywhere I Go" starts with flashing while lights.
"Everywhere I go
Bitches always know
That Charlie Scene got a weenie that he loves to show (bitch)
Everywhere I go
Bitches always know"
Chaz Anix comes out with a gym tee cut to show his mustles slowly with his arms outstretched and his eyes closed
"Wake up!"
Chaz opens his eyes quickly and rips off his shirt and makes his way down to the ring
Jen Brunelli: His opponent, accompanied to the ring by "Mr. Lust" Chester Andrews, from Miami, Florida, weighing 234 pounds, "Dr. Big Freaking Deal" CHAZ ANIX!
"Grab beer
Grab rear
Shave beard
Put on some scene gear
Gotta get drunk before my mom wakes up
Break up, with my girlfriend so I can bang sluts
I'm undead
Unfed
Been sleeping on, bunk beds, since ten
So if I don't booze it
I'm gonna lose it
Everybody get to it
Do it
Get ruined."
Chaz stops at the end of the ramp and flexes then he slides into the ring.
The two go to lock up but Royal gets behind Anix and drops him with a German Suplex. Royal sends Anix to the ropes where he scoops him up for a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker for an early two count. Royal whips Anix to the corner and runs in to attack, but Anix hits him with the back elbow. Royal tries again and this time gets a boot. Anix lifts Royal for a Snap Suplex. Anix hits a Dropkick into kip up. Anix locks in a Headlock with flexing, and Royal manages to back him to the ropes before tossing him to the opposite set and lifting him for a Flapjack. Anix gets back up where hes taken down with a Flying Cross Body from Royal. Royal continues his offense with a Spinning Heel Kick. Royal climbs the turnbuckles, this time coming off with a Moonsault. Royal gets two before Anix kicks out and rolls out of the ring. Royal goes out after him and Anix drives him back first into the apron. Anix throws Royal into the barricade and slides back into the ring. Anix is looking to take the count out victory. Anix's attention is brought to Clifford Bradley and Alyssa Liles who are making their way down the ramp. Anix offers them to come into the ring, when Anix is suddenly turned around and driven to the mat with Royal Mutilation (Shelton Benjamin’s “Pay Dirt”), Royal making the cover.
Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, ANTHONY ROYAL!
Lily Luna: Looks like Clifford Bradley isn't done with Chaz Anix as his presence leads to an Anthony Royal victory.
Chris Pierce: The two have really taken issue with one another, and I'm sure Royal doesn't mind, he walks away with another win tonight.
Royal exits the ring, raising his arms in victory. Bradley enters the ring and adds insult to injury, shoving Andrews away so he can get to Anix, and flatten him with Cash Out (The Miz’s Skull Crushing Finale).

The scene opens with Brad Adams standing by with one of the newest female talent and Indy darling, Lizzy Knoxxx. She has that signature sadistic smirk on her face as Brad holds in the microphone up to himself, preparing to interview Ms. Triple X.
Brad Adams: "Hey there, AXW fans. This is Brad Adams here, and standing by with me is one of the newest women to come to the Alternative Xperience Wrestling family. Ms. Triple X herself, Lizzy Knoxxx."
She slowly treads back and forth, holding her curvy hips as she flashed her teeth at the main camera.
Brad Adams: "So Lizzy, first off congratulations on your victory against Cheyenne Hogan on The Alternative last week. It was a hard fought one, and impressed many people, including many fans in the AXW crowd. So, with that being said, Who exactly is Lizzy Knoxxx?"
Lizzy Knoxxx: "Hmmm, well it isn't that hard to read someone like me. My name is Lizzy Knoxxx and I'm here for only two reasons: To win the AXW Women's Championship and to bring hardcore wrestling back to the women's division. You see, just because I like to get hardcore in that ring does NOT I mean that I can't go with the best of them. I just like to follow a certain formula: Get in the ring, kick some ass, and send the fans home happy. No in between bullshit needed."
A coy grin developed on Lizzy's face, prompting Brad to ask his next question.
Brad Adams: "Interesting answer, and it might bring some great attention, both good and bad. So, other than being AXW Women's Champion and bring Hardcore Wrestling back to the limelight, what brings Ms. Knoxxx to Alternative Xperience Wrestling?"
The question sure did alert Lizzy, as it seemed like it would be a passionate topic to her as she would tip the mic down with her finger and began to speak.
Lizzy Knoxxx: "What brings me here? Well, let me put it to you this way. Being a professional wrestler isn't just a job for me; it's a career. Ever since I was a little girl, this is all I wanted to do. This isn't a stepping stone for me. This isn't a quick way to get famous. This business is my heart and soul. And last time I checked, AXW has the best women's division not only in the United States, but also the WORLD. So when I got that phone call from Luke Mathews, I became the most happiest woman on the planet. You have no idea what I've done to get here. To be a wrestler. Waiting tables, dancing on poles, getting thrown through tables. *Slight pause before looking up to the sky with a smile* But...It was all worth it. So, Brad, this isn't an opportunity that I'm going to let slip away. This isn't a privilege that I'll just take for granite like SOME people. I plan on being the best female wrestler the world has ever seen."
Brad Adams: "Thank you for your time, I'm sure we're all looking forward to seeing more from you. Let's get back to the action."

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.
Jen Brunelli: This next contest is set for one fall! Introducing first, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, weighing 240 pounds, he is "The Tragic Hero" JONATHAN FHENIX!
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.
"Path vol II" echoes across the arena. Destiny appears in the stands schmoozing with a few of the fans while she makes her way down the steps. She slaps hands with the fans along the way while approaching the barricade and finally climbing atop it.
Jen Brunelli: His opponent, from Kansas City, Missouri, weighing 123 pounds, DESTINY MAVERICK!
Lifting her hands into the air, she pumps the crowd for a larger reaction. Off the barricade, Destiny climbs up onto the ring apron and then the top turnbuckle. Once more pumping the crowd before back flipping into the ring.
Fhenix starts the match by taking Maverick down with a series of clotheslines. Fhenix throws Maverick down with a Release German suplex. Fhenix takes Maverick to the mat with a Reverse DDT. Fhenix lifts Maverick up for a big scoop slam then climbs to the second rope, coming off with a Second rope elbow drop. Fhenix hooks a leg and Maverick is able to kick out at one. Fhenix whips Maverick to the ropes where she responds with an Upsetter (When destiny is tossed toward the ropes or barricade. She runs up and launches back with a leg lariat). Maverick hits a low dropkick to the legs of Fhenix, causing him to hit the mat face first. Maverick bounces off the ropes and nails Fhenix with a Drive-by kick. Maverick takes a few steps and kicks Fhenix as hard as she can in his stomach with a Soccer Kick. Fhenix rolls out of the ring to try to catch his breath, but in comes Maverick through the turnbuckles with a Loco Go Round (Torpedo ddt). Maverick rolls into the ring letting Shane Gates count Fhenix out. Fhenix slides in at the count of 10 and Maverick hits a dropkick that sends Fhenix stumbling back before falling against the turnbuckles. Desting climbs the adjacent buckles and dives across the ring for the Coast to Coast. Maverick heads back to the top, this time looking for Fiery Illusion (Swandive elbow drop), but Fhenix gets his knees up. Fhenix hoists Maverick into the air, before dropping her with a Stalling brainbuster. Jonathan Fhenix has wised up to Malcolm M. Mitchell's tactics, so when Mitchell slides into the ring, Fhenix kicks him in the gut before sending him through the turnbuckles into the ring post. Mitchell falls out to the floor and Fhenix goes back to Maverick, where he locks her in Fhenix Tears (Haas Of Pain), Maverick forced to submit.
Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner by submission, JONATHAN FHENIX!
Lily Luna: Jonathan Fhenix is finally able to get a little revenge on Destiny Maverick, let's not forget she took the Xperience Championship from him back in June.
Chris Pierce: Malcolm M. Mitchell also tried getting involved once again, but it seems The Alliance of Truth have him figured out now.
Gates raises the hand of Fhenix. Fhenix exits the ring and stomps away at Mitchell a few times, before backing up the ramp with his arms spread, a smug smile on his face.

Renee Peltier is backstage with Ben Eatr.
Renee Peltier: Ladies and gentlemen as you can see I'm joined by Ben Eatr. Ben, last week you were very impressive in your match with Danny Hall, although you were on the losing end. How are you feeling after unsuccessfully challenging for the AXW Light Heavyweight Championship?
Ben Eatr: You know what? I feel good. Every loss I obtain is motivation. Each time I get closer and closer and one of these days, I will win that title, that's a guarantee. I know Danny Hall's having another open challenge tonight and I assure you I will be in the race to try to get out there first, because I know there are others wanting it just as badly as I do.
Renee Peltier: Thanks for the response, more action coming after this ad break.
Mondays on MTV2.
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!
Jen Brunelli: This next contest is set for one fall! Introducing first, representing Tru Revolution, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, weighing 245 pounds, here is "The New Hotness" 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.
"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.
Jen Brunelli: His opponent, representing the Steve Corman Guys, from Fort Payne, Alabama, weighing 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!"
The two lock up. Slayton gets Adams in the side headlock but Adams lifts him up for a Saito suplex. Slayton is back to his feet and is struck with Knife Edge Chops (aimed at the chest and throat). Adams hits Slayton with a Swinging Back Heel Kick and then takes him down via Guillotine Neckbreaker. Adams runs off the ropes and lifts his leg for the Running Arched Boot, but Slayton side steps. Slayton thus lifts Adams up for the Triple German Suplexes. Slayton leaps up for a Jumping Elbowdrop, getting two on a nonchalant cover. Slayton hits Adams with a Short-Arm Clothesline, then lifts him up for a Samoan Drop. Slayton would whip Adams into the corner, and come in with a Stinger Splash. Upon going for a second one, Adams moves and Slayton hits the buckles. Adams doubles Slayton over and lifts him up for the Running Corner Powerbomb. Adams hits the ropes and nails Slayton with the Meat Hook Lariat, earning only two. Slayton is lifted up for a Throwdown Spinebuster. Adams hits all of Slayton's extremities with the Alabama Stompdown (Garvin Stomp). Adams bounces off the ropes again, this time delivering an Alabama Hamma (Running Polish Hammer). Adams finishes off the tour of Alabama with the Alabama Slam (Short Throw down Powerbomb). Adams is a bit frustrated upon getting a two count. Adams starts to lift Slayton to his feet when Slayton executes a Jawbreaker. Slayton lifts Adams onto his shoulders before drilling him to the mat with a Death Valley Driver. Slayton looks to end it as he stomps his foot, awaiting to nail Adams with The Full Effect (Sweet Chin Music). Adams ends up ducking it, kicks Slayton in the gut, and starts to lift him for a Gotch-Style Piledriver. Slayton fights it and reverses into a back body drop. Adams is right back up only to be rocked by The Full Effect! Slayton covers.
Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, DAVID SLAYTON!
Lily Luna: A hard fought win for David Slayton tonight. Jack Adams brought his a-game but Slayton had it scouted.
Chris Pierce: David Slayton has been a little quiet since being dethroned as AXW Champion, this win will certainly boost his confidence, assuming he lost any.
David Slayton celebrates his win with the crowd, before exiting the arena.

We return backstage where Bobo Sweetcakes is sat at a table with Gina Furlow. He offers her a piece of cake.
Bobo Sweetcakes: It's red velvet.
Gina Furlow: I love red velvet!
Gina starts to eat the cake. A voice off camera tells them that they are live. Gina hurries up and swallows the food.
Gina Furlow: My guest at this time is Bobo Sweetcakes, Bobo, you requested this time, what's on your mind?
Bobo Sweetcakes: Well I've been thinking about Anthony Royal. I'll admit he's good in the ring, but there are times where if he sees a shortcut, he'll gladly take it. He picked to wrestle me at Anarchy due to the fact that he could do anything he wanted to get a win, and that's what he did. So, I'm officially going to challenge Anthony Royal to a rematch. I'm going to pick the venue of Breakdown.
Gina Furlow: I'm sure he won't hesitate to accept judging by his words last week.
Bobo Sweetcakes: Well here's the thing, it's not going to be an ordinary match. This is gonna be the match people are gonna pay their hard earned money for, because I'm challenging Anthony Royal to a Breakdown Bakedown!
Gina Furlow: A what?
Bobo Sweetcakes: A Breakdown Bakedown! The first person to successfully bake a souffle wins!
Gina Furlow: There you have it ladies and gentlemen, Bobo Sweetcakes has officially challenged Anthony Royal to a Breakdown Bakedown, there's a first time for everything I guess.
Bobo offers her more cake.
Bobo Sweetcakes: Here, this one is dark chocolate with a strawberry filling.
Gina Furlow: Ooo, that sounds good.
Gina takes a bite of the cake before we head 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.
Jen Brunelli: This is your Alternative Main Event set for one fall! Introducing first, representing Tru Revolution, from Columbus, Ohio, weighing 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.
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...
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.
Jen Brunelli: His opponent, representing the Steve Corman Guys, from Chicago, Illinois, weighing 221 pounds, "The Vicious One" DAMIEN STEELE!
YOUR... FAITH LOST...
Steele reaches the ring as he walks around to the steps.
YOU... ARE NOW...
Damien waits at the bottom of the steps keeping his eyes on his opponent.
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 takes one step up the steps, still keeping his eyes locked on his opponent till he reaches the top step and wipes his feet before entering the ring never taking his eyes off his opponent.
The two men lock up, and with both being almost identical in size, neither budge. They both break and both look for dropkicks. Both men run opposing ropes and finally get offense in, taking each other down with clotheslines. Steele is first up and catches Shelley with a Swinging Enzuigiri. Steele lifts Shelley up for a Northern Lights Suplex. Shelley kicks out of the bridged pin and is then planted with a Falling Paroxysm. Steele nails Shelley with an Avada Kedavra. Steele grabs Shelley's head before driving him to the canvas with an Asai DDT for another two count. Steele heads to the top rope and Shelley meets him there, throwing Steele back into the ring with an Exploder Suplex off the top rope. Steele is lifted into the air as Shelley delivers his Pop Up Flapjack/Shining Wizard Combo. Shelley lifts Steele up for a Scoop Slam before heading to the top rope, connecting with a Frog Splash for two. Shelley looks for a Jersey Cutter (Twist of Fate) but Steele shoves him off to the ropes. Shelley tries a clothesline on the rebound but Steele ducks it, and nails Shelley with the Pele Kick! Steele hoists Shelley onto his shoulders for an F-5! Shelley gets to his feet only to be spiked to the mat with an Inverted Frankensteiner! Steele is waiting for Shelley to get in position before leaping into the air for the Loony Stomp, but Shelley winds up rolling him up for a very close two count. The two are up and Gabe strikes with his Cannon Ball (Similar to the Codebreaker, but Gabe's knees are in his opponents chest). Gabe hooks the arms of Steele before executing Fallout (Double Underhook Front Lungblower into Pin) for another two count. Shelley is able to deliver the Jersey Cutter (Twist of Fate), then heads to the apron. Shelley springboards in for I'm a Bird, Mother F**ker! (Springboard Leg Drop From Apron), but Steele moves out of the way. Steele signals it's over and lifts Shelley up before driving him to the mat with a Damien Special (Phoenix Plex)! Matt Baker makes the three.
Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, DAMIEN STEELE!
Lily Luna: A big win for Damien Steele tonight, just when you think this guy is good he finds ways to get better.
Chris Pierce: I'm sure Steve Corman's tutelage has something to do with it. Meanwhile, Gabe Shelley is back to the drawing board.
Damien has his arm raised before exiting the ring, walking up the ramp with his hair in his face.
Lily Luna: That's all for us, make sure you tune into ION for AXW 50!
