Phoenix, Arizona
Episode XXI
Cameras swoop down at the set backstage. Sitting at the desk are the usual suspects, with a display of monitors behind them. John Hendon: Hello everyone and welcome to Before the Bell! We're gonna take you in-depth about the happenings of tonight's event, as usual I am John Hendon joined by Britain's finest Zack Fields... Zack Fields: A big night is in store for tonight and I can't wait for it to get underway. John Hendon: And as always we're also joined by former AXW Tag Team Champion, Zoey Mathews-Mitchell! I understand you have some news you wish to share with us, Z. Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: I do indeed. For those of you who don't know, my husband Malcolm and I are expecting a child in March, and at my last ultrasound we determined the gender! Suddenly, light blue balloons fall from the ceiling. Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: It's a boy! Zack Fields: How did we not notice those balloons up there? John Hendon: Big congratulations to you and Malcolm, we're all happy for you guys. Moving on to the rest of the show, we're gonna breakdown Breakdown, starting with tonight's Main Event. Zack Fields: It's a big one. For the first time ever, two twenty plus careers meet in singles action for the first time ever as AXW Champion Steve Corman defends his title against challenger Bruiser Lazzou. Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: Bruiser Lazzou found himself in this position by redeeming the AXW Xperience Championsip's ninety day clause, and the way he went about it was unexpected to a lot of people, myself included. Rather than redeeming for an AXW Championship match then and there at AXW 50, he instead opted for the match to take place tonight. John Hendon: It was a perfect time to strike since Steve Corman just competed in an AXW Cage Match against Duncan Aries, and as you said, it shocked pretty much everyone that he didn't just finish off Corman then and there. Zack Fields: Lazzou said it himself: he could have done it then and there, but he wants to defeat Corman at one hundred percent to prove that Lazzou is the superior of the two legends. Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: And of course, there is the one remaining Steve Corman Guy left in Damien Steele. He will surely try to be a factor in tonight's match. Zack Fields: I don't think Lazzou cares. In his mind he can take them both out no problem and doesn't see Steele to be the threat that other people might see, though he probably should. John Hendon: So now we get to predictions. Who's leaving tonight as AXW Champion? Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: Bruiser Lazzou. He didn't decimate everyone who stepped into the ring with him when he was Xperience Champion to fall short tonight. Zack Fields: Steve Corman. Sure, Bruiser has the power, but Corman has the smarts. Steve Corman is the longest reigning AXW Champion in history, including the unified titles, and for good reason, and I think that continues tonight. John Hendon: I'm also gonna go Bruiser Lazzou here, I'm with Zoey here. Zack Fields: Moving on to tonight's most unusual match, Bobo Sweetcakes and Anthony Royal go head to head in "Breakdown Bakedown", in which the first to successfully bake a souffle wins. Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: These two have been at it since Bobo Sweetcakes returned in the summer, ending Anthony's undefeated streak. Anthony had Bobo's number at Anarchy, and Royal accepted this challenge at Breakdown tonight, saying he can defeat Bobo at his own game. John Hendon: Anthony claims he can embarrass Bobo time and time again, and we'll find out if he can out-bake the Master Pâtissier. Who do you guys have for predictions? I'm going with Bobo Sweetcakes. Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: Bobo Sweetcakes, hands down. Zack Fields: How do you guys know that Anthony Royal isn't a masterful baker himself? Anthony Royal will stay true to his word and will defeat Bobo Sweetcakes at his own game. John Hendon: Next up, two former AXW Tag Team Champions collide as Austin Graves and Ryan Starr go head to head for the last time in AXW, as the loser must leave AXW. Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: These two guys started teaming together and had immediate chemistry, and as we all know, dethroned us in the Takeover to become AXW Tag Team Champions. Upon losing the titles to Lethal Weapons at Rise, Austin turned on Ryan, saying it was all his fault. Ryan Starr defeated Austin at Anarchy, and despite that, the two have still been at each other's throats. AXW isn't big enough for the both of them, which is why Luke Mathews announced that the loser of this match must leave AXW. Zack Fields: And when the smoke clears, we can finally say "See ya!" to Ryan Starr. Austin Graves is perhaps the most destructive man on this roster and Ryan got lucky at their last encounter. John Hendon: I'm gonna disagree and say that Ryan Starr is in the head of Austin Graves, leading to another Ryan Starr win tonight. Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: So far me and John have been on the same page tonight, Ryan Starr will leave tonight still a member of the AXW roster. John Hendon: Moving on to another championship picture, the AXW Light Heavyweight Championship will be on the line as "Rocket Man" Ben Eatr challenges either Danny Hall or Acer Stone. Zack Fields: Danny Hall and Acer Stone are of course co-champions, and this is not the first time this has happened. They were co-champions at the start of the year, and it did not end well for Acer Stone who ended up being put on the shelf until returning and challenging Danny Hall, where Danny made Acer submit while Acer pinned Danny at the same time. Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: Meanwhile, Ben Eatr has been on the rise and while falling short, has still put on some great matches with Danny Hall and Acer Stone. The problem with tonight is he's not gonna know who he's gonna be facing for the title until he steps into the ring, and frankly, I don't think he cares. Ben has been garnering some confidence and probably feels that he can defeat either. John Hendon: So who's leaving tonight as AXW Light Heavyweight Champion? Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: Ben Eatr. He's been close so many times and I think tonight is when he finally captures gold. Zack Fields: Danny Hall and Acer Stone. I think Danny's gonna be the one to defend the title, and he's gonna defeat Ben Eatr once again. John Hendon: I'm predicting that Acer Stone will be defending, and due to shenanigans from Danny Hall, will hold onto the title. Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: Next up is the first of the women's matches, as Android 18 and Destiny Maverick collide in a Decisions Count Anywhere Match. Zack Fields: These two have been at it since Destiny Maverick joined AXW. At the time, Android 18 was part of the Alliance of Truth, who wanted to fix the BWF problem - the group of homegrown BWF stars who decided to also make their mark in AXW, and Destiny Maverick is one of them. John Hendon: And tonight, it comes to a head in this Decisions Count Anywhere Match. Destiny Maverick came to AXW to establish her singles career, and this win will be beneficial in that. I think Destiny leaves victorious. Zack Fields: Android 18's name may not be at the forefront of the women's division, but let's not forget that she is a dangerous woman and wants to be that forefront name. Android 18 is leaving victorious. Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: I'm with Zack here. Android 18 really is dangerous, I've shared locker rooms with her. She keeps to herself, but just being around her is intimidating, let alone being in the ring with her. Android 18 wins tonight. John Hendon: Onto the next championship match of the evening, the AXW Xperience Championship is on the line as champion Clifford Bradley defends against challenger Chaz Anix. Zack Fields: For those not familiar with our product, the Xperience Championship is no ordinary title. It's defended every time the champion is in singles action, and if you can hang onto the title for ninety days, you can redeem the Xperience Championship for another title match of your choosing. Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: After Bruiser Lazzou redeemed it, Clifford defeated Chaz to win the vacated title. Clifford did so with help of his manager Alyssa Liles, and has successfully retained it due to her. These two have been at it for some time since Chaz ended Clifford's new found winning streak, and tonight, both their managers are banned from ringside. Let the best man win. John Hendon: Who do you think the best wan will be, Zo? Zoey Mathews: Clifford Bradley. He's been in and out of AXW since its inception in 2013, and until he won the Xperience Championship, he's really had no success until now. He's finally got something going in his career and it continues tonight. Zack Fields: When Clifford Bradley was on his own, aka without Alyssa Liles, he was a loser. He had a serious losing streak going. That's why he brought in Liles, and now you're taking her away, leaving Bradley on his own again, which means he's going back to his losing ways. Chaz Anix will become the new AXW Xperience Champion. John Hendon: I think I'm gonna go with Clifford Bradley as well. Even if Alyssa won't be at ringside, he's still under her wing and they can still strategize together, which is what he lacked previously. Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: Alright ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna take a break here and send it to ringside for our Before the Bell Exclusive Match. ----- The cameras cut to Jen Brunelli stood in the ring. Jen Brunelli: This is your Before the Bell Exclusive Match, which is a Tag Team Three Way Dance! The rules of the match are as followed: one participant from each team will start. A person may tag out, but only to their respective partner. A team is not eliminated until both members are pinned or submitted. The last person or team remaining will be the winner. "Cut the Cord" starts as Micheal walks out and drops down to one knee and holds up his arms then Bray walks out in his hat and coat and puts his hands on Mike's shoulders and slaps them, then Micheal stands and they both walk down Jen Brunelli: Introducing team one, wrestling out of Hoboken, New Jersey, at a combined weight of 471 pounds, Michael Veaga and "The Krazy Karny" Bray Coleman, BEAUTY AND THE JEKYLL! then Bray crouches down to remove his hat then his coat and he runs into the ring and lays on the mat staring at his opponent(s) while Micheal climbs up to the apron and climbs to the second rope and does a warrior shout while pounding his chest, then he jumps down to the ring. The fans pop to the opening guitar riff of "My Own Worst Enemy", as out walks Sam De Santa followed by Trent Mathews and Ricky Diamond. They stop on the stage, high five each other, and walk down the ramp, slapping the hands of the fans. Jen Brunelli: Introducing team two, accompanied to the ring by Sam De Santa, at a combined weight of 422 pounds, Ricky Diamond and Trent Mathews, CHICKS AND AMERICA! Trent and Ricky slide into the ring and pose for the crowd as their music 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! Jen Brunelli: Introducing the third team of Tru Revolution, first, wrestling out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, weighing in at 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. 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: Wrestling out of Columbus, Ohio, weighing 220 pounds, he 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 three way dance begins with Bray Coleman, Gabe Shelley, and Trent Mathews in the ring. Shelley charges Coleman off the rip, taking him down for some mounted punches. Trent lets it happen for a few seconds before he drives a knee into the small of Shelley’s back, then sets Shelley up for a DDT and connects. Next, he lifts Bray up for a back suplex followed by a pin, but Bray easily kicks out. Trent whips Bray into the corner and follows with a swinging corner clothesline! Shelley blasts Trent as he rests on the middle rope, sending him flying out of the ring! Then, Shelley hits Bray with a cannon ball and tags in Slayton, who enters with an elbow drop and pin attempt, but gets a two count. He sees the opportunity and waits for Bray to get up, preparing for The Full Effect, but Michael Veaga enters and Slayton instead tries to defend himself, only for Veaga to shrug off an attempted forearm and lift Slayton off his feet. He throws him into the BATJ corner, follows with a clothesline, and exits to the apron. Bray crawls to Veaga and tags him in. Behind them, Trent entered the ring and tagged in Ricky. Veaga enters without knowing Diamond had entered and Diamond tries to surprise him with a forearm to the back, but Veaga is unphased. He turns around and Diamond bolts away and out of the ring. Veaga gives chase and Trent delivers a kick to his jaw as he runs by! Veaga drops to a knee and Ricky takes advantage, nailing Veaga in the side of the head with a high savate kick! Trent and Ricky team up to get Veaga back into the ring. Ricky re-enters, oblivious to David Slayton standing in wait, and receives The Full Effect! He topples and Slayton quickly gets the pin in. Trent can’t break the count in time and Diamond is eliminated! Trent couldn’t break the count, but he did attack Slayton just after, and he takes control of the match. He hits Slayton with Trent the Ninja (Shiranui) and goes for a pin, but Slayton kicks out. Trent then tries for the Trentsetter, but Slayton sees it coming and ducks it. Slayton tries to schoolboy Trent, but Trent kicks out easily! Both men race to their feet and are met with a double clothesline from Michael Veaga! Trent gets back up much faster than Slayton and Veaga lifts him above his head for a military press slam, only to throw him into Slayton! With both men down, Veaga tags in Bray and they hit Slayton with the Hoboken Haunt (Michael Flapjacks the opponent into a Cutter from Bray)! Bray follows with a pin, but Shelley is there to break it up. Trent is back up and hits Bray with a step-up enziguri, then he delivers a Uranage Backbreaker, and hits his finisher, Etrentity (Phoenix Splash), on the downed Bray! Vaega breaks the attempted pin up. He grabs Trent by the hair, but Trent escapes his grasp, ducks under Veaga’s arms, and goes for Altrentative (Springboard Cutter), and connects! All the while, Slayton made the tag to a fresh Gabe Shelley, who rushed in for a T-Bone Suplex on the unsuspecting Trent Mathews! He follows it up with the reVolt (Cradle Shock) and pin to eliminate Chicks and America. Shelley isn’t done. With Vaega down and rolled outside the ring, and Bray hurting from Trent’s assault, he tags in Slayton and tells him to go for the Firehawk. Slayton does just that, centering Bray in the middle of the ring and locking in the aforementioned Firehawk Lock (Crippler Crossface)! Bray can’t hold on any longer for a rescue from Veaga and is forced to tap out. Vaega is just coming to when he sees his partner tapping and enters the ring just too late to save him, but he is able to catch Slayton with a kick to the head before he realized it was coming! Veaga then gets Slayton to his feet and connects with a Strongman Spinebuster. He goes for a Freak-Out (Muscle Buster), but Shelley cuts him down with a shoulder into the back of his knee. Slayton falls safely to the mat, while Shelley stomps at Vaega’s knee some more before the ref forces him back to the apron. Slayton gets up and realizing the opportunity at hand, tries The Full Effect, but Veaga ducks it! Slayton spins around to receive a running lariat! Veaga continues and knocks Shelley off the apron, then hits Slayton with Bam! (Second rope curbstomp) and Slayton is out for the count. The impact from the second rope maneuver clearly bothers the knee Shelley had attacked early, though, and Shelley sees it from the outside. Shelley immediately goes after the weakened knee and it works, as he easily brings Veaga down to a knee with a dropkick to the bad knee! Shelley runs the ropes behind Veaga and delivers another dropkick to the bad leg! Shelley sets up on the apron and when Veaga tries to get back up, he hits him with I’m A Bird, Motherf**ker (Springboard Leg Drop From Apron)! It is now when Shelley wins the match for his team. He locks up Veaga with the calfkiller on the bad leg and Veaga cannot endure. He taps. Jen Brunelli: Here are your winners as a result of a submission, TRU REVOLUTION!
Referee Brian Sullivan raises the arms of Shelley and Slayton. The two climb the turnbuckles posing for the crowd and getting them hyped up. The duo exit ringside as we head back to the Before the Bell set.
-----
John Hendon: An incredible match to get the night started, congratulations to Tru Revolution.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: I love watching these Tag Team Triple Threat Matches, perhaps my favorite AXW specialty.
Zack Fields: Moving on to the final half of our program, the next match we're gonna discuss is another personal one, Duncan Aries vs. Malcolm M. Mitchell.
John Hendon: This past summer Mitchell and Aries were both going to be members of Team AXW at AXW vs. BWF: Domination, but Aries and his Alliance of Truth weren't fond of that, citing Mitchell was only on the team due to nepotism and thus attacked him, taking him out before the match began. Ever since Mitchell has been a thorn in the side of Aries.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: My loving husband Malcolm went on to defeat former Alliance of Truth member Jonathan Fhenix, who has since high-tailed it out of this company, thank God. I can only hope that Aries follows suit after Malcolm beats him tonight.
John Hendon: I'm not sure Aries is gonna leave anytime soon, but I'm also gonna pick Malcolm M. Mitchell as the winner tonight.
Zack Fields: I'm gonna have to go with Aries here. Aries is a multi-time world champion, AXW Hall of Famer, and Malcolm has none of that. Not saying that Malcolm can't also amount to that, but he still has quite some distance to cross in my opinion.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: I assure you that Malcolm will be AXW Champion here one day, and speaking of champions, Janet Hurricane will be defending her AXW Women's Championship against Hailey Harris.
John Hendon: Janet defeated Hailey at AXW 50 to win the title, and it was a long road for Janet. She first won the title at AXW Supershow II in September 2014, lost it at Supershow III three months later, and never really got her one-on-one rematch for the title due to the TRENT power fiasco. The one singles match she got for the title she lost due to shenanigans between her, Hailey Harris, and Caitlin Shay.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: If I can interject here, I know we all use the phrase "evolution of Janet Hurricane" a lot, but that three way feud with Hailey and Caitlin is what really drove her to be the person she is today, and I unfortunately was the first person to have to find that out. Janet hasn't lost a singles match clean since she last lost to Hailey at Winterslam in January, and I think that may continue for some time.
Zack Fields: You're not giving enough credit to Hailey Harris, who has held that Women's title longer than anyone. Hailey has defeated Janet in the past, and she can do it again, and that happens tonight.
John Hendon: Both women are incredible and really are the backbone of the division, so this is a hard pick, but I think I'm gonna go with Janet Here.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: We have more women's action for tonight, and this is the match I'm most looking forward to, it's a Hardcore Match between Katsuko Nakamoto and Lizzy Knoxxx.
John Hendon: Two newcomers to the Women's Division. The two put on a tremendous match a few weeks ago on The Alternative with Katsuko being the victor. After the match Lizzy challenged Katsuko to this match tonight, and here we are.
Zack Fields: Lizzy Knoxxx's specialty is Hardcore, so this match obviously favors her, which is the reason she picked it. On the other hand, you have Katsuko Nakamoto, who from what I understand prefers to just use her wrestling prowess, so it'll be interesting to see how she does in this one.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: These are two girls I'd love to get in the ring with. If both of them are still around in the spring, I'd love to make that happen.
John Hendon: Some great matches to be had, but that's still some ways away. Who do you think is leaving the win tonight?
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: I just want to see a great match, but if I absolutely have to pick one, I'll go with Lizzy Knoxxx.
Zack Fields: I'll agree with her on that, both wanting to see a great match and thinking Lizzy will win.
John Hendon: It's unanimous, I'm predicting Knoxxx will be the victor as well. Moving on to the final Women's match to discuss, we have a Triple Threat Match between Olya Oglovska, Rochelle, and Velvet Valentine.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: Olya and Velvet have been going back and forth for a little while now, and it really got interesting when Rochelle debuted and attacked both of them. The three of them have now been going at it, leading to Luke making this match tonight, with the winner being the new Number One Contender for the AXW Women's Championship. So, who's going to leave Number One Contender?
Zack Fields: I'm gonna go with Rochelle. Velvet and Olya know each other so well, but they know very little about Rochelle, which I think makes her a threat.
John Hendon: I'm gonna say Olya Oglovska. She has the longest single Women's Championship reign, and has all the tools to climb back up that mountain.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: And of course, I'm gonna pick my girl Velvet Valentine. She's one of the hardest workers here and truly deserves that opportunity, and I think she'll get it. After all, she is one of two females to hold the AXW Tag Team Championship, so she should never be slept on.
John Hendon: A great way to segue into our final match, which is for the AXW Tag Team Championships. Champions Justin Wyndham and TO'A, collectively known as Lethal Weapons, defend against Jimmy Reynolds and Timmy McDermott of the Push.
Zack Fields: Lethal Weapons won the titles at Rise when they defeated War Horse. This team is comprised of two former best friends, turned bitter enemies, turned okay friends. An interesting tandem they are.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: And The Push are former two-time AXW Tag Team Champions, who after losing the titles to a certain team called The Takeover at last year's Breakdown, took some time off. In mid-2016, a new team emerged in AXW called The Nintendudes. They would go on to challenge Lethal Weapons for the AXW Tag Team Championships, and upon losing, attacked Lethal Weapons. They'd unmask to reveal their true identities: Jimmy Reynolds and Timmy McDermott of the Push. The once beloved tag team now turning their backs on the fans, and looking to recapture the AXW Tag Team Championships.
John Hendon: With that said, let's get to predictions. I'm actually gonna go with The Push here, and here's why. Lethal Weapons are looking like this dominant, unstoppable team. Back in the day there was this dominant, unstoppable team called Hand of Blood, who held the AXW Tag Team Championships for 229 days, a record that has held up since. Who was the team that finally stopped them? The Push. If they can defeat Hand of Blood, they can defeat anyone, especially with this new attitude they have.
Zack Fields: What he said.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: Well I'm going with Lethal Weapons. There is a team that will stop them, but I don't think it's going to be The Push.
John Hendon: Ladies and gentlemen, that's all we have for you. If you're watching this on AXW.com, head on over the BWF Network to watch Breakdown.
Zack Fields: Reminder that the BWF Network is FREE, and of course, they do have payment options for an ad-free experience if you'd prefer.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: For John Hendon and Zack Fields, I'm Zoey Mathews-Mitchell, enjoy the show!

Phoenix, Arizona
Breakdown II[flash=640,360]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k37VznqNgYI[/flash] After the opening video package, pyro blasts from the stage, Alternatron, ramp, and ring posts. The cameras pan across the crowd as we are welcomed to the event. Mike Vincent: Coming to you live from Phoenix, this is Breakdown! A lot of action in store for you tonight, every title is of course on the line and so much more. I'm Mike Vincent joined by The Alternative's Chris Pierce and Lily Luna. Chris Pierce: As Mike said, some great matches to be had tonight, including a Breakdown Bakedown, which we will get to in a bit. Lily Luna: A first time for everything, we will get to that at the conclusion of our first match-up. [flash]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwOD24GzVxw[/flash] "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. "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" [flash]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaW0Sov-Ck8[/flash] ‘Invincible’ by Adelitas Way hits and Acer Stone runs out from the back looking pumped up and energetic. He heads down the ramp and punches the air three times as red pyros go off at the top of the ramp behind him. Acer heads over to the fans and slaps hands with them as he gets to the ring. He climbs into the ring and works the crowd a little more before they join him in punching the air three times. [flash]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzQsGwPGTHY[/flash] "Remedy" by Seether 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. Salvatore Pellegrino: This contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the AXW Xperience Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, wrestling out of Mason City, Iowa, weighing in at 223 pounds, BEN "ROCKET MAN" EATR! Ben climbs the turnbuckles, getting the crowd on his side. Meanwhile, Salvatore and referee Shane Gates are trying to determine which man will be defending the title. Acer and Danny are mouthing off at each other, which ends with Danny hoofing Acer in the gut and tossing him out of the ring. With no one to argue with him, Danny says he will be the one competing. Salvatore Pellegrino: ...his opponent, accompanied by the co-holder of the AXW Light Heavyweight Championship Acer Stone, wrestling out of Camden, Tennessee, weighing in at 220 pounds, he is the defending AXW Light Heavyweight Champion, "Mr. Most Hated" DANNY HALL! Danny raises the title into the air, oozing with confidence as the crowd shower him with boos.   The two men go to lock up but Hall kicks Eatr in the gut instead. Hall whips Eatr to the ropes and nails him with a back elbow on the rebound. Eatr gets up and is met with some throat chops from Hall. Hall follows up with a series of clotheslines before sending Eatr to the corner. Hall runs in at his opponent and Eatr gets his boot up. Eatr pulls himself to the second rope and nails Hall with a missile dropkick. Eatr tries a quick cover only for one. Eatr quickly tries to lock in a Gassed Out (Rear Naked Choke) but Danny manages to get them to the ropes before he can fully lock it in. Eatr is forced to back off to break and comes back in, and is back body dropped over the top rope. Eatr hangs on and stays on the apron, hitting Hall with a rope-assisted enzuigiri, before entering the ring via Springboard 450 to the standing Hall. Eatr again covers and this time gets two. The two men get up and Eatr stays in control with a Sling Blade. Eatr lifts Hall onto his shoulder and chucks him into the turnbuckles with a Lawn Dart. Hall is slumped in the corner and Eatr looks for the basement dropkick but Hall manages to move out of the way. Hall allows Eatr to get back to a vertical base before nailing him with a Clothesline From Hall(Clotheline from Hell). Hall shows an even more aggressive side by pummeling away at the downed Eatr. Hall lifts Eatr up for a Reverse Tombstone, and if that wasn't enough, picks him back off the mat and drills him with a Halls Frozen Over(Canadian Destroyer). Hall pins but Eatr shoots his shoulder up right before three. Hall sends Eatr running back to the ropes but this time Eatr catches Hall off guard with a Running knee. Eatr pops into the air and takes Hall down with a Hurricanrana, another two count before Eatr stays on offense with a Rocket Shot (Running single leg dropkick). Eatr drills Hall with a Snapmare driver for another two count. Eatr rolls back out to the apron, this time for a Springboard clothesline... and gets kicked out of the air with the Shot Heard Round The World(Superkick) from Hall! Hall slams Eatr with a Release Powerbomb and gets a two count of his own. Hall lifts Eatr onto his shoulders for Hallway to Hell (Roode Bomb), but Eatr flips out and lands on his feet, hitting Hall with a back kick. Eatr bounces off the middle rope and delivers a Tornado DDT. Eatr brings Hall to the corner and sits him on the top rope, facing the crowd. Acer Stone recognizes this as the set up for To the Moon (Top Rope Sitout-Powerbomb), and climbs onto the apron. Acer is met with a hard forearm from Eatr, sending him back off the apron. This is enough for Hall to re-position himself and stand on the second rope. He looks to kick Eatr, but Eatr catches his foot, and hits a hard punch to Hall's stomach. Eatr climbs up with Hall, hooks his arms, and plants Hall to the mat with Space Out (Future shock DDT) from the second rope! One! Two! Three! Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner, and NEW AXW LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, BEN EATR! Mike Vincent: Ben Eatr came to win and that's what he did, congratulations to our new Light Heavyweight Champion! Chris Pierce: Eatr was no-nonsense this match, refusing to let either man try to prevent him from leaving with the title. Lily Luna: Acer Stone was once again not involved in the decision of him losing the title, these two reigns as co-champion haven't been too kind to him. [flash]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwOD24GzVxw[/flash] The crowd is behind Eatr who accepts his newly won championship from referee Shane Gates. Eatr climbs the turnbuckles and raises his title high. He eventually exits the ring and celebrates with some of the fans, even posing for a couple of selfies, before making his way to the back. Mike Vincent: Once again congrats to our new champion, right now we're gonna send it backstage as we prepare for the Breakdown Bakedown. ----- We cut to a kitchen set-up which has two stations, one for Bobo Sweetcakes and the other for Anthony Royal. Gina Furlow is standing by. Gina Furlow: Ladies and gentlemen, this next contest is a Breakdown Bakedown, in which the first competitor to successfully bake a souffle will be the winner. Introducing the competitors, in station one, baking out of Skaneateles, New York, he is "The Master Pâtissier" Bobo Sweetcakes! Bobo is decked out in his favorite black and pink pinstripe apron, and raises his fists high, assuring he will be dominant in this match-up. Gina Furlow: In station two, baking out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Anthony Royal! Anthony is stood, leaning against the counter in his ring gear and a generic AXW shirt, with his arms crossed. Gina Furlow: Your official for this bout, refereeing out of Sydney, Australia, Jessie McCormick! Jessie McCormick: Alright gentlemen, I want a nice clean bakedown. The contest will begin when I call for the bell. Bobo, are you ready? Bobo Sweetcakes: I was born ready, Jessie! Jessie McCormick: Anthony, are you ready? Anthony Royal: Just ring the bell so we can get this over with. Jessie McCormick: Ring the bell! The bell sounds and this bakedown is underway.   Bobo has begun the beginning stages of preparing the dish, putting some of the ingredients together in a bowl and what have you. Meanwhile, Royal is reading the ingredients and recipe sheet, trying to figure out where to start. Royal is adding ingredients together, perhaps putting in more than he should. After some time Royal grabs the electric mixer to beat the egg whites and cream of tartar, with the mixture going everywhere because he has the mixer on high instead of medium. Bobo is preparing the dessert by the book, as he does. Gina Furlow: This is gonna take some time fans, we're gonna send it back to ringside for more in-ring action. ----- The lights in the arena all turn to red, with the fans in anticipation for whats about to come. After a few seconds of this, "Megitsune" by BABYMETAL takes over the sound system. [flash]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzZHKi_eNvU[/flash] As soon as the song plays, the red lights pulse to the beat of the drums with a figure standing in smoke, wearing a robe and a kitsune mask. At the seven second mark of the song, the figure begins to slowly make their way down the ramp. At the fourteen second mark of the song, the figure disrobes and removes their kitsune mask, now walking to the ring at a quicker pace. Jen Brunelli: This next contest is a Hardcore Match set for one fall! Introducing first, wrestling out of Hiroshima, Japan, weighing 112 pounds, "Megitsune" KATSUKO NAKAMOTO! Katsuko makes her way up the steps and hops onto the middle turnbuckle, raising both hands into the air, doing the kitsune hand sign. She steps onto the top rope and front flips into the ring. She walks to her corner and throws strikes at the turnbuckles before her music fades out. Suddenly, the area would go completely dark, except for the Alternatron showing rapidly-spinning barbed wire. [flash]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Fo1drOuCmk[/flash] "I'm not the one who's so far away When I feel the snake bite enter my veins Never did I wanna be here again And I don't remember why I came" The sound of "Voodoo" by Godsmack would play through the PA system as Lizzy Knoxxx walked out to the stage, looking around at the cheering crowd with a sadistic smile on her face, eyes almost bulging out of the sockets, before shooting up her arms to cross her wrists. Jen Brunelli: Her opponent, wrestling out of New Brunswick, New Jersey, weighing 121 pounds, "Crazy" LIZZY KNOXXX! She would then walk down the ramp, whipping her hair from side to side with a sick grin on her face before sliding into the ring and rises up to walk to the nearest turnbuckle. She would climb to its second rung before slightly hunced over and whips her hair back, throws her hands up to make their cross at the wrist again before jumping off the turnbuckle to her feet.   The two lock up, with Lizzy backing Katsuko to the corner. Katsuko turns the tables and has Lizzy cornered, and hits her with some gnarly strikes. Katsuko runs to the opposing corner to get some momentum but Lizzy is right behind her and hits an unsuspecting Katsuko with a Forearm Smash. Lizzy follows up with F.Y.L. (Fuck Your Life) [Hip Toss followed by a Cartwheel followed by a low-angle Front Dropkick]. Lizzy exits the ring and lifts the ring skirt, starting to pull out some goodies. She throws a trash can, trash can lid, chair, kendo stick, another chair, and another kendo stick into the ring. She also pulls out a ladder, and upon trying to slide it into the ring, in comes Katsuko with the baseball slide. Katsuko runs the ropes before diving out of the ring full force with a suicide dive. Katusko rolls Lizzy back into the ring and slides in as well. Katsuko is suddenly struck in the gut with a chair, and Lizzy then slams it across the back of Katsuko. Lizzy sets the chair on the mat and slams Katsuko on it with a Snap Suplex for a two count. Lizzy puts the trash can over Katsuko, and starts unloading with the kendo stick. With the trash can still on Katsuko, Lizzy lifts her for a German Suplex, and gets another two count off that. Lizzy grabs the ladder from the apron and props it up in the corner. Katsuko has removed herself from the trash can and starts to come to. Lizzy lifts her to her feet and whips her towards the ladder, but Katsuko counters and it's Lizzy being sent back-first into the ladder. Lizzy clenches in pain as she leans against the ladder, and before she realizes it, is nailed with a Crescent Moon (Running Curved Corner Yakuza Kick). Katsuko goes for a cover and is just shy of a three count. Katsuko stays in control as she pretty much just starts kicking the crap out of Lizzy. She follows her onslaught off with a stunning Spinning Back Fist, and tops that with a Roundhouse Kick that causes Lizzy to ragdoll to the mat. Katsuko lifts Lizzy right back up and pays homage to her mentors, first a Tiger Bomb, then runs the ropes twice before nearly knocking Lizzy out with the Megitsune Kick (Bakatare Sliding Kick). This earns another two count for Katsuko. Katsuko decides she wants to soften Lizzy up for a Kitsune Ni Kama and targets the arm. She starts off with an arm wrench, then delivers a Double Knee Armbreaker. Katsuko delivers several knee drops to the arm of Lizzy. She then traps Lizzy in a Fujiwara Armbar. Lizzy is trying to reach for the ropes, but comes to realization that won't help her in this stipulation. Lizzy manages to grab hold of a kendo stick and can only swing wildly, the shots she hits are enough for Katsuko to break the hold. Lizzy uses the kendo stick to deliver a Russian Leg Sweep. Lizzy grabs the trash can lid and slams it as hard as she can upside the head of Katsuko, the echo ringing throughout the arena. Lizzy grabs the head of Katsuko and delivers a Running Bulldog onto the trash can, the can crushing under the impact. Lizzy takes the ladder out of the corner and sets it up. She begins to climb it, the only problem is Katsuko is already back up and meets her at the top. The two trade blows on the top rungs, but Katsuko's forearms really wear Lizzy down, before she's tossed off the ladder, crashing to the mat below. Katsuko steadies herself on the very top of the ladder, and leaps off with a Hātosutoppā (Kairi Hojo-style Diving Elbow Drop)! Katsuko has to take the time to recollect herself but eventually makes the cover. One! Two! OOOOOOOOOOOOH! Shoulder up at the last possible second! Katsuko wastes little time as she immediately tries to lock in Kitsune Ni Kama (Kimura Lock), but Lizzy is doing everything she can to prevent Katsuko from getting a good grip. Lizzy manages to bring them to a corner and hammers away with punches to get Katsuko to back off, which she eventually does. Katsuko tries to re-approach Lizzy but Lizzy delivers a drop toe hold, Katsuko hitting the second turnbuckle face-first. Katsuko is slumped down in the corner, a prime position for Lizzy to deliver a chair-assisted basement dropkick. Lizzy steadies the chair across Katsuko and heads to the adjacent corner, climbs up, and jumps across the ring for THE XXX Climax [Coast-to-Coast Missile Dropkick]! She pulls Katsuko from the corner and hooks a leg. One! Two! Three! Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, LIZZY KNOXXX! Mike Vincent: What a contest between these two newcomers. Katsuko Nakamoto gave it what she could, but falls short to Lizzy Knoxxx in her specialty match. Chris Pierce: This is an area that Lizzy is well versed in, remember that Katsuko has only been at this profession for a few months and has never experienced anything like this. Lily Luna: Notice that Nakamoto didn't even pick up a weapon during this match, she was getting by solely on her wrestling ability, and still almost won the match. [flash]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Fo1drOuCmk[/flash]
Brian Sullivan goes to raise the arm of Lizzy, who requests he raise her other arm as that one is pretty sore. Lizzy takes the time to climb some of the turnbuckles, before extending her good arm to Katsuko to help her up. Katsuko accepts and is pulled to her feet, the two combatants shaking hands. Katsuko leaves the ring to Lizzy before we head to the ad-break.

We return to the Breakdown Bakedown setup. Bobo Sweetcakes has placed his souffle in the oven. He puts on some reading glasses, sits back, and cracks open The Cake Bible by Rose Levy Beranbaum. Meanwhile, Anthony Royal is a mess. He's still getting ingredients together, and sees that Bobo's dish is already in the oven, and throws his mess of ingredients into his oven. Anthony made the mistake of not pre-heating his oven first! Anthony might have to be waiting longer for his "souffle" to bake due to that lack of judgment. While we wait for the desserts to bake, we return to ringside. ----- “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. Salvatore Pellegrino: This next Triple Threat Contest is scheduled for one fall, and is to determine the Number One Contender to the AXW Women's Championship! Introducing first, wrestling out of 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. 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" Salvatore Pellegrino: Wrestling out of Long Island, New York, weighing 117 pounds, "The Dominator in Distress" ROCHELLE! The chorus for the song starts as Rochelle begins to strut down the ramp, swaying her hips as she looks at the capacity crowd. 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. 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. Salvatore Pellegrino: Wrestling out of 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.   Olya and Velvet start the match by double teaming Rochelle. First, Olya locks her up, then Velvet drives a sharp forearm to her lower back, allowing Olya an opportunity for a hip toss. The assault continues with a Velvet knee to the back and an Olya armbar. Olya wrenches away and Velvet pulls her off. The two argue over it while Rochelle recovers. By the time they notice, it’s too late, and Rochelle takes Velvet down with a leaping clothesline! Olya tries to attack, but Rochelle ducks it and hits a dropkick on her instead! Velvet is back to her feet and Rochelle lifts her up for a scoop slam, then does the same to Olya. Looking for the quick finish, Rochelle gets to the middle rope and tries for Slay You Dead (Blockbuster) on Velvet and connects, but Olya breaks the attempted pin at only a one count. Olya and Rochelle reach their feet and exchange blows: Olya delivers knife-edge chops while Rochelle is throwing right hands. Eventually, Olya’s chops win out, and she blisters Rochelle’s chest with chop after chop before delivering a kick to the gut and delivering a swift Fisherwoman’s Suplex, with the pin attempt! Rochelle kicks out at the two count, but Olya goes right back on the offensive, locking in a guillotine choke! With Velvet down and Rochelle in the middle of the ring, you can feel the crowd sensing this one may be over! Rochelle is fading, but Velvet begins to stir. As Rochelle goes limp, Velvet is reaching for the ropes to help her up. The ref lifts her arm, and it drops. “One!” He does it again. “Two!” As he lifts it for the third time, Velvet dives in and stops the hold with a double axe-handle to Olya! Both women are to their feet and Velvet takes out Olya’s knee with a low dropkick, then takes her down with a Russian leg sweep. From there, she climbs to the second rope and hits Olya with a diving crossbody with a pin attempt, but Olya kicks out. Velvet measures Olya up, and when she gets to her feet, she delivers a spear! Another pin, but Olya still manages to get a shoulder up. Again, Velvet stalks Olya and measures her up. Olya gets to her feet and from behind, Velvet goes for the Straightjacket Feeling (straight jacket sitout rear mat slam) and connects, but Rochelle immediately grabs Velvet from behind, as if she’s looking for an inverted DDT, backs into a corner, climbs to the middle rope, and launches for Off With Your Jaw, completely overpowering Velvet the entire time to keep her in her grasp! A pinfall on Velvet follows, and the ref counts: 1, 2, 3! Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner, ROCHELLE! Mike Vincent: Rochelle's roll continues as she now has a date with the Women's Champion. Lily Luna: That's a tough test ahead of her, that date will either be Janet Hurricane or Hailey Harris. Hopefully this newcomer knows what she's in for. Chris Pierce: She's been impressive thus far, I'm looking forward to seeing what she can do against one of the aforementioned wrestlers. Rochelle's arm is raised in victory. She backs up the ramp, soaking in the crowd's boos, ghost-belting all the while. ----- We return backstage with Gina Furlow. Gina Furlow: Ladies and gentlemen the souffles are still baking and should be done by the conclusion of the next match. At this time I will get the competitor's thoughts. Gina makes her way over to Bobo's station. Gina Furlow: Bobo, how are you feeling thus far in this battle? Bobo Sweetcakes: I'm feeling good, Gina. I'm not sure what Royal's doing over there, but I went with a chocolate souffle, and it will be delicious. You and Jessie can both have some! Gina Furlow: I'm looking forward to that, thank you Bobo. Let's head on over to Anthony Royal. She walks over to Anthony's station. Anthony's t-shirt is covered in flour, sugar, egg, and various other items. Gina Furlow: Anthony, how are you feeling so far in this battle? Anthony Royal: Battle? Is that what you're calling this? This is a joke. This is stupid. I don't know why I agreed to do this. I'm still going to win this though, because the rule is the first to bake a souffle wins. It was never said that I actually have to make it good. When this is all said and done, Anthony Royal will have defeated Bobo Sweetcakes at his own game. Gina Furlow: There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Let's head to our next contest while we wait. ----- The lights dim as a laser light show begins, “Wake Me Up Before You Go Go” by Wham begins as two figures emerge on either side of the ramp snap their fingers to the song, before dancing it up as the lights go up to the duo of Jimmy Reynolds and Timmy McDermott, The Push! With an arsenal of cheesy 80s dance moves, they make their way to the ring to a chorus of boos, but are delusional to it all, entering the ring and scaling turnbuckles as they yell out “We want YOU to want..US!” They fling their Cory Hart inspired sunglasses into the crowd as they hug each other before the match begins, their music fading out. "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 Jen Brunelli: This next Tag Team Contest is set for one fall, and is for the AXW Tag Team Championships! Introducing first, the challengers, wrestling out of Scranton, Pennsylvania, at a combined weight of 395 pounds, "Jumpin'" Jimmy Reynolds and "Thunderlips" Timmy McDermott, THE PUSH! The Push raise their arms high, the crowd raining boos down at them. Jen Brunelli: Their opponents, at a combined weight of 490 pounds, they are the defending AXW Tag Team Champions, "The World Warrior" Justin Wyndham and "The Samoan Executioner" TO'A, LETHAL WEAPONS! They raise their titles high before handing them off to official Matt Baker.  Jimmy and Justin start the contest with a lockup. Wyndham overpowers Jimmy and shoves him to the mat. Jimmy scrambles back to his feet and is met with an uppercut, knocking him right back down! He tries to get back up and Wyndham grabs him for a DDT. Then, Wyndham pulls Jimmy to TO’A and tags the big man in. TO’A delivers an atomic drop and then violently clotheslines Jimmy from behind. Timmy yells at TO’A from the apron and when TO’A approaches, he drops down and out of dodge, laughing as he does so. This opening is just enough for Jimmy and he rakes TO’A's back from behind, not having the energy to do much else. Jimmy then escapes the ring before TO’A can grab him and regroups with Timmy. Wyndham, having seen enough, drops from the apron and TO’A exits the ring to join him. The two try to run down The Push, but both members slide back into the ring and catch The Lethal Weapons with some stomps when they try to slide in and give chase! The ref interferes and forces The Push off of the champions, trying to regain control of the match. He forces Timmy back to the apron, where Jimmy promptly tags him in, and TO’A is back to his feet. The ref signals to continue the action. Timmy and TO’A lock up and Timmy gains the upperhand with a knee to the gut and a side headlock! He tosses TO’A over his hip and to the mat, still wrenching on his headlock, and TO’A oxygen supply is being cut off. TO’A is groggy and the referee, seeing him going limp, grabs an arm, lifts, and drops it. With no response, he counts one. Again, and he counts two. But on the third attempt, TO’A keeps the arm up, much to the chagrin of Jimmy Reynolds, who audibly yells “Oh, come on!” TO’A fights his way up to his feet and lifts McDermott up for a back suplex! TO’A’s crawl to his corner begins and Wyndham, bouncing up and down in anticipation. But Timmy McDermott, having only taken a back suplex, is quick to his feet, and a double axe handle to TO’A’s back stops him in his tracks. Timmy laughs as he looks Wyndham in the eyes, and Wyndham tries to enter, but the ref stops him. In those few seconds of distraction, Timmy rakes TO’A’s eyes! Timmy brings TO’A to his feet and tags in Jimmy, who runs the ropes and delivers a running back elbow to TO’A! Then, Jimmy sets up for the Get Your Dance Pants On (Shake, Rattle, and Roll Neckbreaker)! But TO’A lifts Jimmy up off the ground and rams him into the Lethal Weapons corner! Wyndham makes the tag, hops into the ring, and drops a charging Timmy McDermott with the World’s Most Wanted (Steve Vick-like Superkick)! And from there, TO’A and Wyndham team up for the World War 3 (WMD Driver from Wyndham/Pile driver from TO’A)! The pin comes in for the 1, 2, 3! Jen Brunelli: Here are your winners, and STILL AXW Tag Team Champions, LETHAL WEAPONS! Mike Vincent: Lethal Weapons continue their dominance as they defeat the only team to hold the AXW Tag Team Championships twice. Chris Pierce: Lethal Weapons' reign sits at 133 days, the second longest single reign behind Hand of Blood's 229 days. Lily Luna: They certainly have the ability to topple that, I'm curious to see what team will dethrone Lethal Weapons, since the team that dethroned Hand of Blood just lost to them.
The champions are awarded with their titles. They raise their titles high into the air before exiting the ring. Justin slaps the hands of some of the fans while TO'A simply walks to the back.

For the final time tonight, we return to the Breakdown Bakedown set. Bobo Sweetcakes is sat back in a chair, continuing to read The Cake Bible. Anthony Royal is in anticipation for his dessert to get done. DING!Anthony Royal throws the oven door open, pulls out his souffle, and hands it to referee Jessie McCormick. Anthony Royal: I am victorious! Jessie McCormick: No you're not, this dish does not qualify as a souffle. Anthony Royal: What?! Jessie McCormick: It is overcooked and does not at all resemble a souffle. You'll have to start over. DING!Bobo gets up from his chair, puts on his oven mitts, and removes his souffle from the oven. He sets it on the counter. Jessie McCormick inspects the dish, and raises the arm of Bobo. Jessie McCormick: Winner! Gina Furlow: Ladies and gentlemen the winner of the Breakdown Bakedown, BOBO SWEETCAKES! Bobo prepares plates for Gina and Jessie. Suddenly, a plate shatters across the back of Bobo's head by the hands of Anthony Royal. Bobo falls to the floor in pain. Anthony Royal: No more games! One on one in a wrestling match, you can't beat me, and you know it. Resorting to your stupid baking contests is the only way you're gonna beat me. Try stepping into that ring with me again and see what happens. Anthony leaves the area, Jessie and Gina check on Bobo as we cut back to ringside. ----- "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 Alternatron 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.' Salvatore Pellegrino: This next contest is scheduled for one fall, where decisions will count anywhere. Introducing first, wrestling out of 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. "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. Salvatore Pellegrino: Her opponent, wrestling out of Kansas City, Missouri, weighing 123 pounds, DESTINY MAVERICK! She slaps hands with the fans along the way while approaching the barricade and finally climbing atop it. 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.   Destiny and Android 18 circle each other, each with fists raised as if they’re in a boxing match. Android darts in first with a hard right, but Destiny shrugs it off and delivers her own. Just like that, it devolves from a boxing match to an outright slugfest, as the two women ferociously exchange punches, with Android 18 finally putting a stop to it with a hip toss! Right back to her feet, Destiny charges Android and receives a crooked arm lariat for her trouble. Android follows with a sequence of shin strikes, knife edge chops, and finally an attempted powerbomb, but Destiny fights back, delivering punches to Android 18 from atop her shoulders! Android 18 loses her balance and falls backward, with all of Destiny’s weight falling on her chest! Destiny drags Android 18 to her feet and sends her into the corner. She follows with a leg lariat! Android staggers out of the corner and Destiny hops up onto the ropes. Android turns back towards the corner and it’s the Loco Go Round (torpedo DDT) from Destiny! She tries for the pin but Android kicks out. Destiny decides to take the fight to the outside and throws Android 18 there. She follows and promptly whips Android directly into the steps. After that, it’s the announcer’s table that captures Destiny’s eye. She begins to clear it off, then beats on Android 18 some more before sprawling her across it. Android is motionless on the table and Destiny gets onto the apron and climbs to the top turnbuckle. Destiny looks for the Fiery Illusion (Swandive elbow drop) through the announcer’s table but Android rolls out of the way! Destiny crashes through the table and suddenly, it’s Android 18 in control of the match! She gets some mounted punches, but then she goes for the win: she pulls Destiny up and sets up for the Buster Swing (inverted stomp facebreaker) and connects! On the ruins of the announcer’s table, Android pins Destiny, and the ref counts it: one, two, three! Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner, ANDROID 18! Mike Vincent: My goodness, that wasn't a match, just a straight up fight. Lily Luna: You never know what will happen in Decisions Count Anywhere, it could go out on the street or only as far as our laps. Chris Pierce: Kudos to Destiny Maverick, but this win concludes the rivalry and thus Android 18 is superior. Android rejects having her hand raised. She looks down at a seemingly unconscious Destiny Maverick, smiles, and leaves the arena. ----- Cameras cut backstage where Max Kilburne is standing by with Damien Steele. Max Kilburne: Ladies and gentlemen I'm Max Kilburne and I'm joined by "The Vicious One" Damien Steele. A few questions for you, first off, how are you feeling despite not competing in a match tonight? Damien Steele: I am a little upset by that. I should competing on every show this company has to offer. People aren't spending their money to see some washed up ex-lobster try to get his one last hoorah, they're paying to see Damien Steele. I mean, did anybody really care about AXW before I came along? On top of that, I'm the reason AXW even has a Light Heavyweight Championship. I'm not competing tonight but I should be. Or maybe Luke Mathews just thinks that I've done a fantastic job the past two or so years I've been here that he's given me the night off. Max Kilburne: You brought up Bruiser Lazzou in passing there, will you be present for his match against AXW Champion Steve Corman? Damien Steele: Of course I will be. I want the best seats in the house to watch Steve Corman put Lazzou out of his misery once and for all. Max Kilburne: I have to ask, your relationship with Steve Corman is still doing well? You are the last remaining Steve Corman Guy after all. Damien Steele: There's a reason why he picked me first. He knew I was more trustworthy than the others. I was the first chosen Corman Guy and I'm the last one here. Ethan Cutler couldn't be trusted. Caitlin Shay wanted to head to a developmental system for some reason, but I guess in the end, she belongs there doesn't she? And Jack Adams... I honestly never liked that guy in the first place. I'm glad he's gone. He wants to go back and relive his glory days with Jonathan Fhenix, aka the only time he was relevant. Max Kilburne: You didn't quite answer the question. Damien Steele: Yes, Max, our relationship is fine. Better than ever. Get it through your thick skull. Max Kilburne: Thanks for the time, Damien, let's send it back to the ring for another title match. ----- "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 "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. 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. 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. Jen Brunelli: This next contest is set for one fall, and is for the AXW Xperience Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, wrestling out of Miami, Florida, weighing 234 pounds, "Dr. Big Freaking Deal" CHAZ ANIX! Chaz flexes his muscles as the crowd gives their reaction. Jen Brunelli: His opponent, also wrestling out of Miami, Florida, weighing 218 pounds, he is the defending AXW Xperience Champion, CLIFFORD BRADLEY! Clifford raises his championship high, a smirk on his face, confident that he'll be leaving with it.   The two lock up, the larger Anix backs Bradley to the corner. Anix throws a fist and Bradley ducks it. Bradley now has Anix cornered and delivers some kicks to the gut. Bradley backs off at the count of four and Anix comes out of the corner with a big clothesline. Anix locks in his Headlock with flexing. Bradley escapes the hold via Back Suplex. Bradley stays in control by lifting Anix up for a German Suplex. Bradley delivers some Elbow and forearm strikes to the face of Anix, backing him into a corner. Bradley runs the ropes and comes in with a Corner clothesline. He backs off again and looks for the shoulder thrust, Anix moving out of the way causing Bradley to go shoulder first into the ring post. Anix rolls Bradley up but only gets two. The two get up and Anix hits a Dropkick into kip up. Anix lifts Bradley up and chucks him into the turnbuckles with the Lawn Dart. Anix slams Bradley down with a Snap Suplex. Anix takes this time to taunt the crowd, flexing for a woman in the front row. Anix turns around and gets clotheslined out of the ring by Bradley. Bradley wastes no time as he leaps over the top rope and takes down Anix with a Crossbody. Bradley mounts Anix and delivers some hard punches. Bradley uses the environment to his advantage, slamming Anix into the barricade, apron, stairs. Bradley rolls into the ring, willing to accept a count-out victory. Anix slides back into the ring right before the count of eighteen. Clifford double legs Anix and tries to lock in a Boston Crab, but Anix shoves him off. Bradley still manages to stay in control as he nails a Spinning Wheel Kick. Bradley lifts Anix onto his shoulders and slams him with a Samoan Drop. Bradley awaits Anix to get to his feet and tries for Cash Out (The Miz’s Skull Crushing Finale), but Anix takes Bradley down with a snapmare. Bradley gets back onto his feet and is struck with a Spear. Anix plants Bradley with Too Sexy for This (Flat Liner), hooks the leg, and gets two. The two get up and Anix stays in control by hitting a Sexy Kick (Enziguri). Anix follows up with a Standing Moonsault, frustrated that he's still only getting two. Anix runs the ropes only to be raised and driven to the mat with a Spinebuster from Bradley. Bradley slams Anix down with a T-Bone Suplex, a two count of his own. Bradley bounces off the ropes and takes Anix down with a Running bulldog. Anix crawls to the corner and starts to help himself up. Bradley darts at him but Anix catches him with a back elbow. Anix pulls himself to the second rope and connects with the Super Anix Cutter(Diamond Dust)! He hooks both legs... One! Two! Three! Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, and NEW AXW Xperience Champion, CHAZ ANIX! Mike Vincent: Clifford Bradley's reign is ended at 35 days as Chaz Anix now looks to hold onto that Xperience Championship for 90 days. Lily Luna: If he does he can redeem it for a shot at the Tag Team or AXW Championship, since he does not qualify for the Light Heavyweight or Women's. Chris Pierce: Let's not forget that both men's managers were banned from ringside. Chaz Anix won with no distractions. Congrats to the new champ.
"Everywhere I Go" is playing throughout the arena as Chaz Anix is awarded the Xperience Championship. Chaz is ecstatic about the win, climbing every turnbuckle and hoisting his new trophy high. Chaz exits the ring where his father/manager Chester Andrews is waiting, the two embrace before we head to an ad break.

Salvatore Pellegrino: This next contest is scheduled for one fall, where the loser must leave AXW. ‘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. Salvatore Pellegrino: Introducing first, wrestling out of St. Louis, Missouri, weighing in at 245 pounds, AUSTIN "WAR MACHINE" GRAVES! 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. Salvatore Pellegrino: His opponent, wrestling out of Tampa, Florida, weighing 195 pounds, RYAN STARR! 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.   Right as the bell sounds the two are at it, going punch for punch. It shouldn't be too surprising that Graves is the better brawler and gets Starr backed to the corner, continuing his onslaught. Referee Gus Ramos allows a little more leeway than usual as both men's jobs are on the line, but intervenes and gets Graves to back off. Graves rushes back in and clobbers Starr with a clothesline. Starr slumps down in the corner and Graves stomps away, until again Ramos has to step in and get Graves to back off. Graves again goes right back in for the Cannonball Corner Senton. Graves lifts Starr up, and drills him with a War Spike (Top Rope Hung Spike DDT). Graves covers and gets two. Graves sends Starr to the ropes to deliver a Popup Powerbomb, but Starr reverses into a Hurricanrana. Starr goads Graves into coming to the ropes, where Starr holds onto the top rope, kicks Graves, and uses the momentum to backflip to the apron. Starr springboards into the ring, delivering a forearm smash to Graves. Starr follows up with an Enzuigiri, then bounces off the ropes and delivers a Front drop kick to the side of his opponent's head. Starr stays in control as he springs off the ropes and delivers a Tornado DDT. Graves ends up rolling out of the ring, and Starr looks to stay on the attack by diving out with a Suicide Dive, but Graves catches him! Graves rams Starr's spine off the apron. Graves looks to drive Starr face-first into the ring post, but Starr gets his foot up to prevent it, and hits Graves with a back elbow, creating some separation. Graves again tries to get right back on the attack by running at Starr, who side steps, and Graves runs right into the ring post. The camera zooms in on Graves, and we see that he is now busted open. Starr has rolled in and back out of the ring to restart the twenty count. Starr climbs atop the barricade, runs across it, before jumping off into Graves with a double knee attack. Starr brings Graves back to his feet and rolls him into the ring. Graves is right back to his feet and catches an oncoming Starr with a Belfast Kiss! (Sharp Headbutt Served deliberately to the bridge of the nose), completely disregarding his own head injury. Graves hammers away at the now downed Starr, where we can see that Starr is now busted open as well. Graves is now hellbent on doing as much damages as possible to Ryan Starr. He starts off with Going, Going, GONE (Scoop Lift, into Delayed Suplex, into Brainbuster). Graves lifts Starr onto his shoulders and spins him around several times, before spinning him out into the F-0 (F5). Graves lifts Starr back to his feet before planting him with Grave Robber (Scoop lift spun out into an over the shoulder back to belly piledriver). Graves continues the assault, lifting Starr up for a Grave Breaker (Pump-Handle Neckbreaker Across Knee). Graves lifts Starr back to his feet and hits a Five Finger Death Punch (Short Arm Heart Punch). Graves sets Starr up for Cradle 2 Grave (Package Piledriver), but Starr suddenly finds some life and double legs Graves, then locks him in the Code Red (Cross-legged triangle choke)! Graves tries to fight out of it, but with the hold still locked in Ryan delivers some nasty kicks to the head of Graves, further opening his cut in the process. This goes on for several moments, Gus Ramos is checking on Graves and asking if he can continue, but no response whatsoever forces Ramos to call for the bell. Salvatore Pellegrino: The winner of this match via submission, RYAN STARR! Mike Vincent: Ryan Starr gets to stay in AXW! What a brutal contest! Lily Luna: I'll be honest, I didn't think Ryan Starr was gonna win this one, he proved me and a lot of other people wrong. Chris Pierce: With his job on the line, Ryan Starr had to be more vicious than Austin Graves was. Unfortunately for Austin Graves, he's gonna have to find employment elsewhere. Both men are laying on the mat, bleeding. Ryan Starr pulls himself to his feet and has his arm raised by Gus Ramos to a happy Phoenix crowd. Ryan doesn't do much celebrating, rather just makes his way to the back to have his injuries relieved as soon as possible. Officials check on Graves while we head backstage. ----- Bruiser Lazzou is finishing taping up his wrists, when he is approached by Brad Adams. Brad Adams: Bruiser, if I could just have a moment, what are your thoughts heading into tonight's main event? Bruiser looks down at Brad, an intimidating look on his face. Bruiser walks away, clearly not in the mood for talking. ----- Meanwhile, we now head to a different area backstage, where Renee Peltier is standing by with AXW Champion Steve Corman. Renee Peltier: Steve, how are you feeling heading into your title defense tonight? Steve Corman: Good. You know, we've both done all our talking, there's really not much else for either of us to say, but when that bell rings and the dust is settled, Bruiser Lazzou won't be the one standing tall with this title, and I'll leave it at that. No further questions. Renee Peltier: Thank you, Steve, let's head back to ringside. ----- The arena lights dim as the opening beats of Anja’s “Dance All Nite” are accompanied by a dance club vibe of flashing, pulsing lights, the silhouette of Hailey Harris emerging on the ramp with a model’s poise. A sleeveless denim jacket with a hoodie covers a mid drift fishnet corset and a short hot pink skirt, fishnets and black boots completing the ensemble as the champion spins with her new pink G.A.W. shades over her eyes as the crowd boos her every move to the ring. In the ring, Hailey holds her arms up, storming to every side of the ring, defiant as the arena lights return to normal and the music fades. “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. 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. Jen Brunelli: This next contest is set for one fall, and is for the AXW Women's Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, wrestling out of Baltimore, Maryland, weighing 127 pounds, "The Baltimore Bombshell" HAILEY HARRIS! Hailey raises her arms up, eliciting boos from the crowd, which she just waves off. Jen Brunelli: Her opponent, wrestling out of Charlotte, North Carolina, weighing 120 pounds, she is the defending AXW Women's Champion, "The Queen of the Ravenous Generation" JANET HURRICANE! Janet steps up onto a turnbuckle, raising up her championship, getting a solid amount of cheers from the crowd.   The two lock up, neither woman wanting to budge. Hailey tries for a cheap gut kick, but Janet catches it and takes Hailey to the mat, trying to lock in a Sharpshooter but Hailey squirms to the ropes before she can lock it in. Janet stands back and motions for Hailey to bring it. Hailey charges at Janet for a clothesline and Janet ducks it, Hailey keeps going off the ropes and is struck with a dropkick by Janet. Janet tries a quick cover and Hailey kicks out before Jessie McCormick can even get in position. Janet stuns Hailey with a Spinning back fist and takes her down with a Leg Sweep. Janet runs the ropes and jumps up for a Senton but Hailey gets her knees up. Hailey starts attacking Janet with her feet, hitting a crescent kick, buzzsaw kick, and spinning heel kick. Hailey whips Janet to the corner and follows up with a corner clothesline. Hailey hooks the head of Janet and climbs the ropes to deliver a reverse tornado DDT. Hailey ascends the turnbuckles and leaps off with a top rope legdrop for a two count. Hailey just tosses Janet out of the ring, and then leaps over the top rope with the rope flip splash. Hailey grabs the head of Janet and steps off the apron to deliver a Sliced Bread #2 on the floor! Hailey hurriedly gets Janet back into the ring to pin her, and Janet kicks out at two. The two are back to their feet and Hailey tries an enziguri, but Janet ducks it and quickly locks Hailey in an STF. Hailey is able to reach out and grab the bottom rope. Before Hailey knows what happened, she's caught up in the ropes and planted with a Cry of Terror(Rope-hung DDT). Janet climbs to the top rope, and dives off for a Last Breath of Air (Diving elbow drop), getting a two count on the cover. Janet remains in control as she locks Hailey in a Bodyscissor waistlock submission. Hailey is able to escape it, but still can't get back in control as Janet lifts her for a Spinning backbreaker. Hailey is back to her feet and is met with a Running Knee lift. Janet plants Hailey with a Tropical Storm (Forward Russian Legsweep) and hooks the leg, Hailey kicks out at two. Janet springboards off the second rope for a Beautiful Disaster, but Hailey counters with a sit-out powerbomb for a two count. The two are right back up and Hailey kicks Janet in the gut before drilling her with a snap DDT. Hailey lifts Janet to her feet and drives her to the mat with The Long Shot (Twist Of Fate)! Hailey is yelling at Janet to get up and when she does, Hailey delivers Check This Out! (Mic Check)! Hailey covers and Jessie starts the count... One! Two! Jessie stops the count when she sees Janet's foot under the rope. Hailey is livid and arguing with referee Jessie McCormick. This is enough for Janet to get back up and lock Hailey in a Full Nelson, before executing 15 Seconds of Fame (Masterlock turned into backcracker). That isn't enough for Janet, who now hooks Hailey for the Storm of the Century(Fisherman Suplex, without letting go of her opponent. Then she gets up, still having her opponent on a fisherman position before hitting the Fisherman Brainbuster)! Janet hooks both legs and Jessie counts the pin... One! Two! Three! Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, and STILL AXW Women's Champion, JANET HURRICANE! Mike Vincent: Janet Hurricane hangs onto her championship which begs the question, who can stop her? Lily Luna: Hailey Harris was a great candidate, but alas, fell short. Chris Pierce: Janet now has Rochelle to prepare for, the two have yet to cross paths, so it will be interesting to see.
"Happy Song" replays and Jessie hands Janet her championship and raises her arm into the air. Janet climbs some turnbuckles, raising her title high, having great confidence. She exits the ring and walks up the ramp, holding her title high once more.

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. Salvatore Pellegrino: This next contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first, wrestling out of San Diego, California, weighing in at 238 pounds, AXW Hall of Famer, "The Wild Card" DUNCAN ARIES! 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. "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. Salvatore Pellegrino: His opponent, wrestling out of Riviera Beach, Florida, weighing 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.   The bell sounds and Malcolm jumps at Aries, clubbing away at his foe. Aries manages to shove him off and hits him with a big boot. Aries sends Malcolm to the ropes where Malcolm responds with a Sleep Tight (Busaiku Knee Kick)! One! Two! Malcolm was hoping his early finisher would put Aries away but of course the Hall of Famer isn't going down that quick. Malcolm sens Aries to the corner and looks for the corner splash but Aries moves out of the way. Aries rolls Malcolm up in a school boy for a quick two. The two are back up and Aries slams Malcolm face first into the top turnbuckle. Aries lifts Malcolm up for not one, not two, but three German suplexes. Aries delivers some stiff kicks to the sternum of his kneeled opponent. Aries hooks the head of Malcolm and executes an Orton style backbreaker. Aries whips Malcolm to the ropes and catches him with a snap powerslam. Aries plants Malcolm with a double powerbomb and heads to the second rope, where he jumps off with a Hart style elbow. Aries gets another two count before he sends Malcolm back to the ropes. Malcolm springs off the second rope and delivers a springboard crossbody. Malcolm lifts Aries up for a T-Bone Suplex, then jumps up for a Double Knee Drop to the chest of Aries. Malcolm awaits for Aries to get to his feet before running the ropes. Malcolm looks for a clothesline but Aries ducks, Aries running to the ropes to deliver an Enter Gideon (Beautiful Disaster Kick). Aries decides it's time to put Malcolm away and scoops him up for The Culmination (Front slam pickup swung into a Rock Bottom), and it connects! One! Two! Malcolm shoots his shoulder up! Aries slaps his hands three times, informing referee Brian Sullivan that he isn't counting fast enough. Aries turns his attention to Malcolm who is almost back to his feet. Malcolm ends up ducking a swing from Aries and swiftly picks him off the mat for a Blue Thunder Bomb! Malcolm doesn't quite have the wherewithal to try to pin, but finds himself back to his feet. He sees Aries is in a good position and tries for a Faceplant (Fame Asser), but Aries backs away. Aries quickly hooks Malcolm's arms and drives him to the mat with a San Diego Driver (Full Nelson pickup released into a wheelbarrow facebuster). Aries picks Malcolm right back up and again plants him with The Culmination! One! Two! Three! Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner, DUNCAN ARIES! Mike Vincent: A win for Malcolm M. Mitchell here could have propelled him to the next level, but alas, Duncan Aries shows he is superior. Lily Luna: Malcolm couldn't even get much going in this one. Chris Pierce: Malcolm will get his break eventually, but it's not tonight. Duncan Aries has been at this profession a lot longer and is the only person on the active AXW roster to be in the AXW Hall of Fame. Sullivan raises the arm of Aries as "Not Even God" plays throughout the arena to a mixed reaction. Aries takes the time to celebrate his win, then suddenly, crack! Malcolm M. Mitchell slams a chair into his back. Aries falls to the mat and Malcolm is only able to get one more shot in before Brian Sullivan rips the chair from his hands. The highly frustrated Malcolm M. Mitchell gingerly exits the ring and limps his way to the back. ----- We cut backstage for the final time tonight, where Trent Mathews, Ricky Diamond, and Sam De Santa are conversing. Ricky Diamond: So what'd you think Sammy, did we look good tonight or did we look good tonight? Sam De Santa: Please just call me Sam. And you didn't look good at all, you were the first team eliminated. Trent, this Chicks & America reunion was supposed to turn your career around, and yet here you are, still losing. Trent Mathews: That's the thing about Chicks & America, Sam, we always win, even when we lose. Sam De Santa: That doesn't even make any sense. Ricky Diamond: Come on, Sammy, lighten up. You aren't managing boring old Trent Mathews anymore, you're managing the greatest tag team in the entire history of professional wrestling. Sam De Santa: How can you be the greatest tag team in the history of pro wrestling when you've only won like, one match? Trent Mathews: Didn't you hear what I said? Chicks & America are 100% winners 100% of the time. Sam sighs heavily as she puts both hands over her face. Ricky Diamond: Hey, I'm gonna catch you guys later, I'm late for a Thanksgiving dinner. Sam De Santa: Thanksgiving is in two weeks! Ricky Diamond: Not Sasquatch Thanksgiving. Sam De Santa: Sasquatches aren't real! Ricky suddenly gets very serious, and says the following very seriously. Ricky Diamond: You better watch your mouth, young lady. You don't want one hearing you saying that, otherwise they won't invite you to the Sasquatch Hanukkah party, and trust me, you don't want to miss a Sasquatch Hanukkah party. Ricky leaves the scene, leaving Sam absolutely stupefied. Trent Mathews: He's right, you know. I'm tempted to convert to Sasquatch Judaism because of those bomb ass Sasquatch Hanukkah parties. Sam De Santa's brain cannot handle any of this as she completely malfunctions, dropping to a seated position on the floor with her hands on her head. ----- "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. 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. Jen Brunelli: Ladies and gentlemen, this is your Main Event! This match is set for one fall, and is for the AXW Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, wrestling out of Augusta, Maine, weighing in at 325 pounds, BRUISER LAZZOU! Bruiser looks across the ring at his opponent, a look of aggression on his face. Jen Brunelli: His opponent was accompanied to the ring by "The Vicious One" Damien Steele, wrestling out of Hamilton, Ontario, weighing in at 275 pounds, he is the defending AXW Champion, "The Icon" STEVE CORMAN! Steve slowly and confidently raises his championship into the air to a mixed reaction.   The bell sounds and the two approach each other. It appears they're gonna lock up when Corman starts throwing punches. Lazzou counters this by slamming Corman down with a Biel throw. Corman gets up and is slammed back down with a scoop slam. Lazzou whips Corman to the corner and runs in at him but Corman gets the boot up. Corman shows no mercy as he hits a clothesline to the back of Lazzou's head, followed by a Clothesline from Canada (Hell). Corman grabs Lazzou and executes a Hangman Neckbreaker, followed by a Falling Fist Drop. Corman covers and barely gets one. Corman runs the ropes and whatever he was going for is irrelevant as Lazzou plants him with a spinebuster. Lazzou bounces off the ropes and clobbers Corman with a strong style lariat. Lazzou delivers a Deadliest Catch (Double Powerbomb), and after the second powerbomb he holds on and lifts Corman up for a third powerbomb, this one into the turnbuckles. Lazzou climbs to the top turnbuckle and dives off with a Maine Moonsault (Top Rope Vader Style Moonsault). Lazzou is pinning Corman but Matt Baker is caught up with Damien Steele on the apron. Lazzou grabs Steele by the throat and brings him into the ring via choke toss. Damien scoots backwards as Lazzou approaches him until Corman rolls Lazzou up from behind, but Lazzou kicks out. Corman gets back in control as he plants Lazzou with a Snapmare Driver. Corman tries to apply a Canadian Stretch (Regal Stretch) but Lazzou isn't allowing it, and fights Corman off. Corman manages to lift Lazzou up for The Icon-Plex (Exploder Suplex). Lazzou landed near the edge of the ring and Corman pushes Lazzou out with his foot. Corman will be more than happy taking a count-out win and lets Baker begin his count. At the count of 4, Corman grabs the attention of Baker by signalling he has some kind of arm injury. Steele now stomps away at Lazzou on the outside. Steele tries to lift Lazzou up, but Lazzou ends up chucking Steele into the ring steps. Lazzou goes to enter the ring but Corman prevents him from doing so with a baseball slide. Corman exits the ring and slams Lazzou's head off the apron. Corman rams Lazzou back first into the barricade. Corman slides Lazzou back into the ring and follows after. Corman lifts Lazzou up and plants him with The Iconic Slam (Rock Bottom). Corman rolls Lazzou over and locks him in The Famouser (Corman Crippler Crossface)! Lazzou reaches out but there's no rope in reach to break the hold. Lazzou is able to fight it though by rolling over, getting Corman in a pinning predicament, causing Corman to break the hold to kick out of the pin. The two men get up and Corman is met with a hard punch to the gut. Lazzou doubles Corman over and drills his head to the canvas with a piledriver. Lazzou climbs the ropes before coming off with the Bruiser Bomb (Vader Splash)! One! Two! Three! NO! Corman kicked out! Lazzou stays focused and continues to wear Corman down, slamming him with a sidewalk slam. Lazzou hooks Corman's arms and drops him with a full nelson slam. Lazzou hoists Corman onto his shoulder and drives him down with a running powerslam. Lazzou runs off the ropes and squashes Corman with Bruising Bodies (Big Splash) for a two count. Lazzou sends Corman running to the ropes and looks to nail him with a clothesline. Corman ducks and keeps running, on the rebound taking Lazzou down with a big boot. Corman grabs Lazzou's head and hits a Double Handed Headbutt, before executing a DDT. Corman grabs the waist of Lazzou and lifts him overhead for a German Suplex. Corman slams Lazzou once more, this time being a Front Spinebuster. Corman heads out to the apron, removes his elbow pad and chucks it into the crowd. He ascends to the top turnbuckle, looking for a Superstar Elbow (Test-esk flying elbow), but Lazzou has gotten back to his feet and punches Corman in the head. Lazzou climbs to the top with Corman, places him on his shoulders, and brings him back into the ring via Bruised and Battered(Top Rope Samoan Drop)! One! Two! Three! Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, and the NEW AXW CHAMPION, BRUISER LAZZOU! Mike Vincent: Bruiser Lazzou has dethroned Steve Corman and is now a two-time AXW Champion! Lily Luna: He said he could defeat Corman like he did the rest of his opponents during his 91 day Xperience Title reign, and he did just that, and even took out Damien Steele in the process. Chris Pierce: Steve Corman's reign comes to an end at 179 days which is the longest single reign in history, on top of that he held the title longer than any other previous champion. That's all now in the past though, congratulations to Bruiser Lazzou on his hard earned title victory.
"Code Red" blares throughout the arena as Matt Baker hands Bruiser Lazzou the AXW Championship. Lazzou takes a nice look at the prize he had been working for since Rise and hoists it high into the air, knowing damn well that there would have been no other outcome other than this. Confetti falls from the rafters in celebration of the new champion. Lazzou exits the ring and walks up the ramp with the title over his shoulder. He stops on the stage and raises the title once more, this time with a pyro display behind him.
Mike Vincent: Ladies and gentlemen thank you for watching Breakdown, AXW returns to tv on December 3. Good night!
