Rogers Arena
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Winterslam III
After the opening video package, pyro blasts from the stage, Alternatron, ramp, and ring posts.
Mike Vincent: Welcome to Winterslam! Coming to you live from Vancouver, joined by Lily Luna and Cole Haywood, I'm Mike Vincent, and we have an action packed night in store for you tonight.
Cole Haywood: Every AXW championship will be defended tonight, and with this new relationship with Rising Sun Pro Wrestling, you don't know what's going to happen or who might decide to show up.
Lily Luna: Like the competitors in our first match, which will be for the AXW Tag Team Championship!
The opening instrumental of "Can't Be Touched" by Roy Jones Jr. rings around the arena as the lights start to dim.
"Can't be touched
Can't be stopped
Can't be moved
Can't be rocked
Can't be shook
We hot
When will you ****** learn"
Once the lyrics kicks in, a lone spotlight makes its mark at the middle of the ramp to reveal the appearance of KnockOut Kings. "Iron Fist" Cameron Kauffman is pumped up and bobbing his head to the music while "Japanese Ass Kicker" Shinsuke Yakamoto listens to the reaction from his people and nods in appreciation before looking directly at the ring.
"Came to get crunk
Came to bring life
Came to get it started
Came to get it right
Turn down the music
Turn up my mics
When will you ***** learn"
Knockout Kings make their way to the ring as the fans chant, "KNOCK THEM OUT! KNOCK THEM OUT!" Cameron is engaging with the fans while Shinsuke is focused, not letting anything distract him from the task in hand.
Jen Brunelli: This opening contest is set for one fall, and is for the AXW Tag Team Championship! Introducing first, the challengers, representing Rising Sun Pro Wrestling, at a combined weight of 396 pounds, "Iron Fist" CAMERON KAUFFMAN and "Badass Kicker" SHINSUKE YAKAMOTO, THE KNOCKOUT KINGS!
Once they entered the ring, Cameron slaps his right elbow twice before doing his signature "Iron Fist" taunt while Shinsuke shows off his various of kicks before glaring at the camera with a sinister look
"Hear Me Now" plays throughout the arena and Malcolm M. Mitchell makes his way to the stage. He takes a moment to taunt, throwing shadow punches, then runs his hands through his hair and flicks the water off his hands, keeping his arms spread with his head up, soaking in the reaction from the crowd.
Jen Brunelli: Their opponents, first, wrestling out of Riviera Beach, Florida, weighing 214 pounds, he represents the defending AXW Tag Team Champions, 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 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.
"Not even God can save you.."
An ice blue hue filling the ramp and entrance, a thin mist that under a spotlight, and we usually see the figure of Duncan Aries at this point, but there's no one there. A few moments pass and the music fades out.
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.
"Not even God can save you.."
An ice blue hue filling the ramp and entrance, a thin mist that under a spotlight, and the second time is not the charm as Duncan Aries is still not on the stage.
The song fades out and the Alternatron transitions from Aries' entrance video to a live feed of Duncan Aries.
Duncan Aries: Where, oh where, is Duncan Aries? If you couldn't figure it out yet, I certainly am not at Wintersham. So where in the world am I? I'm not in Vancouver. I'm not in British Columbia. I'm not in Canada. I'm not in America. I'm in Japan. You see, I had two choices. Do I go to Wintersham and team with a guy who honestly, I've taken shits that I cared more about than him, or do I come to Japan and become RSPW Champion? This was one of the easiest decisions I've ever made in my life, to be honest. See, I'm gonna become RSPW Champion, then I'm gonna go on and become EWS Champion, and when Wintersham has finally been flushed down the toilet, I'm coming for the AXW Championship, and I don't give a fuck if our moron "General Manager" likes it or not. Malcolm, you can take those Tag Team Titles and shove them up your ass. Good luck and fuck yourself.
Malcolm now of course has some concerns, seeing as he's supposed to defend Tag Team Titles and now has no partner, he's talking to referee Jessie McCormick who has her finger over her ear-piece, listening intently as she receives information. Jessie takes Malcolm's title, and a member of the ring crew hands her what was Duncan's title. She raises them both into the air before handing them back out to the ring crew. She instructs the KnockOut Kings to decide who's going to start and for the other to get to the apron, and instructs Malcolm to back to his corner. We can hear Malcolm say, "Do I get a partner?" and Jessie responds just by shaking her head, and the bell now sounds.
vs.
Malcolm, of course prepared for this to be a tag team match and not a handicap, has trouble getting things going to start off. KnockOut Kings take advantage of this situation by making frequent tags. When Kauffman is in the ring, he's able to deliver some of his moves like a Rolling Elbow, European Uppercut, Discus Clothesline, and Jawbreaker. The Badass Kicker lives up to that name and nails Mitchell with a Roundhouse kick, Superkick, Handspring Roundhouse kick, and a Kawasaki Kombo (Two shoot kick to the opponent's chest followed by a roundhouse to the head of a kneeling opponent). Yakamoto would Irish whip Mitchell to his team's corner, where Mitchell ends up hitting a surprise Sleep Tight (Busaiku Knee Kick) to Kauffman! Mitchell avoids an oncoming Yakamoto who runs chest first into the turnbuckle, and taken down with a Zigzag! Mitchell stays on offense with a Jumping Shoulder Jawbreaker, Sit-out Spinebuster, Fisherman Suplex, and Blue Thunder Bomb. With Yakamoto doubled over, Mitchell looks for the Faceplant (Fame Asser), but in very impressive fashion, Yakamoto catches him in an Argentine position! Kauffman is quick to get in the ring and the duo execute Kings' Judgment(Shinsuke gets his opponent in an Argentine backbreaker rack and then Cameron runs and that opponent with his Iron Fist Punch.Shinsuke then drops that opponent with his finisher, "Final Blow")!
One!
Two!
Three!
Jen Brunelli: Here are your winners, and NEW AXW Tag Team Champions, SHINSUKE YAKAMOTO and CAMERON KAUFFMAN, the KNOCKOUT KINGS!
Commentary congratulates the Kings on winning the titles, but of course discuss the folly of Mitchell and Aries. Haywood praises Aries for finally ditching Mitchell.
With a few streamers thrown their way, the new AXW Tag Team Champions celebrate their win before exiting the ring.
AXW RETURNS TO PAY-PER-VIEW MARCH 17
“My Chick Bad” blares over the PA system as red lights fill the arena as Mychelle comes out and does a little dance on the stage before walking down to the ring clapping the fans hands as she walks down the ramp, stopping and giving a kiss on the cheek to one of the young men along the walk way.
Jen Brunelli: The following Four Way Contest is set for one fall! Introducing first, wrestling out of Hotlanta, weighing 145 pounds, MYCHELLE!
She gets to the ring and gets up on the apron as she wipes her boots before she steps between the ropes going to one of the corners and jumps up on the middle turnbuckle and poses for the fans.
The dance and pop-esque opening sound of "Boss Bitch" by the Millionaires begins to play throughout the arena while Lavender and Magenta lazers begin flashing. Just then would the Dominator In Distress herself walks out from behind the curtains, sashaying her way to the top of the ramp with her hand on her hip, the spotlight following her every move.
"I'm the type of girl that your momma never wanna meet
Centerfold in your daddy's hidden magazine
I'm kinda sweet and fake like Splenda
Topless on the beach, you can call me Kendra"
In between this stanza does Rochelle run her hand through her hair and winks while smiling towards the ring.
"But I'm not like the girl next door
Inbetween a cheerleader and a whore
Ra-ra-raw like sushi
Always keep it clean, no douching"
The chorus for the song starts as Rochelle begins to strut down the ramp, swaying her hips as she looks at the capacity crowd.
Jen Brunelli: Wrestling out of the Hamptons, weighing 117 pounds, "The Dominator in Distress" ROCHELLE!
When she reaches ringside, she walks up the steel steps before walking along the ring apron, looking back at the crowd and blows a seductive and alluring kiss. Rochelle steps the bottom and middle ropes to get into the ring, walking to the center and taking a full spin before fluffing her hair up and blowing another kiss.
The opening sound of the theme "Tokyo Drift" blared throughout the P.A. System as Chae-won walked out onto the stage, before taking a full spin before shooting an X sign in front of her herself with her forearms.
"I wonder if you know
How it is in Tokyo
If you seen it, then you need it
and you know you have to go
Tyaokaooo Drift, Drift, Drift
Tyaokaooo Drift, Drift, Drift"
With a sarcastic smile on her face, Chae-won puts her arms out wide, before strolling down the ramp with an arrogant smirk, eyeing the fans around her on her way.
Jen Brunelli: Wrestling out of Brooklyn, New York by way of Seoul, South Korea, weighing 107 pounds, "The Korean Joshi Princess" CHAE-WON LEE!
When she got to the ring, she climbed up on the apron, using it to wipe her shoes off before entering the ring. Finally, little Lee took a lap around the ring before taking a full spin and putting up the X with her forearms in front of her chest.
A shrill scream echoes throughout the arena causing some people to have to cover their ears. The lights dim down and then the scream stops an a cackle replaces it followed by ‘Monster‘ by Disturbed.
White smoke fills the entrance ramp and then a tall figure slowly walks through the smoke. Tatau makes her way down the ramp looking intense and ready to fight.
Jen Brunelli: Wrestling out of the Island of Samoa, "Lady Samoa" TATAU!
She gets into the ring and lets out an almighty roar then she tries to intimidate the referee by grabbing him by the throat and telling him that “I will win this match, you got that?” Tatau finally goes to her corner and waits for the match to start.

vs.
Each person is able to get some sizable offense in at some point in the match. It should go without saying that the largest competitor, Tatau, has a dominating performance, up until she receives an unsuspecting Slay You Dead [Blockbuster] from Rochelle, which sees victory for the Dominator in Distress.
Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, ROCHELLE!
Commentary discusses that being able to take down Tatau at the end there is no easy feat, even if she was distracted by hurting the other competitors in the match. They question if Rochelle could pin Tatau if it were a one-on-one situation.
