We return to AXW Studios. Lily Luna: A worthy addition to the Hall of Fame, congratulations to Janet Hurricane. Zack Fields: Janet definitely helped define the Women's Division in AXW, a hundred percent deserved. Lily Luna: So, Zack, remember the 2016 AXW Hall of Fame? Zack Fields: I do, Heroes of Today, Sierra Starr, and Duncan Aries were inducted. Lily Luna: What do all those people have in common? Zack takes some time to think about it. Zack Fields: ...They were all the first holders of a championship! Lily Luna: That's right! There's another title that had a first time holder. A title that makes or breaks careers. Zack Fields: That sounds like the Xperience Championship! Lily Luna: It is! But, the first person to hold that title was also the first person to achieve another accomplishment in AXW. Zack Fields: If I remember correctly, that person was also the first ever AXW Triple Crown Champion! Lily Luna: That he was. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome into the AXW Hall of Fame, Mr. Blazenwing himself, David Slayton! BOBO SWEETCAKES AND DAVID SLAYTON DEF. JOHN WYATT AND MARTIN JOSEPHUS - An uncanny team, Sweetcakes and Slayton pick up the victory. We open backstage, where we see Bobo Sweetcakes actually polishing up his Adrenaline Title. He looks at his reflection in the title.
Bobo Sweetcakes: Marvelous! Who deserves a cinnamon roll after that solid belt cleaning? Why, Bobo of course!
As the camera pans we see that Bobo is indeed surrounded by a table of sweets. We see everything from cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, to even a delicious red velvet cake, all waiting for someone to eat them. Bobo reaches for a cinnamon roll, but stops as the camera pans up to see none other than David Slayton, scratching his head, as the crowd pops for the two recent tag partners.
David Slayton: You know something Bobo, I’ve seen some weird things in my day, guys talking to citrus fruit, Canadians carrying around stuffed animals, heck I even knew a guy who got his powers from drinking Yoo-Hoo, but never, NEVER have I seen this many baked goods in one room, except, well, you know, A BAKERY.
Bobo Sweetcakes: I know, isn’t it amazing? I usually go first, being champion and all, but since you’re here, why don’t you go first?
David Slayton: Actually I’m on a bit of a diet, Bobo, so I’ll pass.
Bobo shrugs and grabs a cinnamon roll, biting into it.
David Slayton: But you know, speaking of you being champion, that’s kind of why I came here. I saw you shining that belt up just as I came in here, and I was wondering if you’d be willing to give your ol’ pal Dave a shot at it.
Bobo is a mouth full of cinnamon roll. He tries to say something, but David can’t quite pick it up.
David Slayton: Come on, Bobo, surely your mother taught you not to talk with your mouth full.
Bobo takes a big gulp and wipes his lip, putting the cinnamon roll down on a napkin.
Bobo Sweetcakes: Oh, I’d be fine with that Dave, truly honored really, but..
David Slayton: But what?
Bobo Sweetcakes: Well, I think it’s only fair that you earn your shot, I don’t want to seem biased, giving out shots to my friends. If you want one, everyone is going to want one.
David Slayton: I don’t know what other friends you actually have here, but I see your point. What do I need to do? Name it.
Bobo ponders for a moment, then snaps his fingers, heading over to a stack of freshly baked cupcakes.
Bobo Sweetcakes: Oh it’s simple really, all you need to do is beat me..IN A CUPCAKE EATING CONTEST!
David is once again scratching his head.
David Slayton: I don’t know, Bobo. I’m not one for sweets, like I said, a gorgeous guy like me, I have to watch what I eat.
Bobo Sweetcakes: Aww, come on Dave. You want a title shot, don’t ya?
Slayton eyes the cupcakes, and then the championship belt, as he admires his own reflection in it.
David Slayton: You’re on!
Dave and Bobo shake hands as the crowd is laughing hard, Slayton exiting the scene. Bobo rubs his hands together.
Bobo Sweetcakes: Oh this is gonna be good. What Dave doesn’t know is, he’s going toe to toe with the New York State Fair cupcake eating champion 2 years in a row!
Bobo is excited and takes another bite out of his cinnamon roll as the camera focuses in on the stack of cupcakes before fading out. We open back in the catering area, where cases of cupcakes are stacked up and both David Slayton and Bobo Sweetcakes have AXW logo bibs on, for reasons we don’t know as the referee, Zack Fields, explains the rules, as limited as they are.
Zack Fields: “Alright guys, the one who eats the most cupcakes in 10 minutes is the winner, and if you win, David, you get a shot at the Adrenaline Title. Good luck to you both!”
Bobo Sweetcakes: “I love ya, Dave, BUT YOU’RE GOIN’ DOWN!”
David Slayton: “Ugh, how did I get myself into this?”
A buzzer sounds as both men begin gobbling cupcakes. Bobo, the veteran of these kinds of things, starts off with an early lead as the crowd begins chanting “EAT, EAT, EAT” and there’s even a “Man Versus Food” chant going on for those fans of Adam Richman. Slayton is trying his best to keep up, but it seems no use, when suddenly…
Bobo Sweetcakes: “BUUUURRRRPPP! Ugh..I don’t feel so good.”
Bobo covers his mouth and runs off camera as the buzzer sounds and Zack Fields raises the hand of Slayton, who stands triumphant, and with a mouth full of red velvet cupcake.
Zack Fields: “Winner!”
David Slayton: “I am a cupcake eating machine..ugh..it’s going to take a machine to get me off the can..”
Slayton then darts off camera as the crowd laughs, Fields shrugging and grabbing a cupcake for himself as the scene fades to black. We open backstage, where we spot Bobo Sweetcakes, admiring the nice spread in catering, trying to choose the best cookie in a large tray of them.
Bobo Sweetcakes: “Macadamia? No. Oatmeal raisin? Hmm.
The crowd pops as David Slayton shows up behind Bobo, tapping his good friend on the shoulder.
David Slayton: “Bobo! How the hell are you, buddy?”
Bobo Sweetcakes: “Oh, hi Dave.”
David Slayton: “Hi, Dave? That’s it? Come on, Bobo, what’s eating you? You haven’t returned any of my calls or texts all week!”
Bobo Sweetcakes: “It’s nothing, Dave, really.”
David Slayton: “Doesn’t sound like nothing. Come on, Boboski, hit your pal Dave with the truth, give it to me.”
Bobo Sweetcakes: “Well, it’s just, I was kind of embarrassed last time we were in the same room together, and I may not look it, but I’m a bit of a wrestling historian and-“
David Slayton: “Stop right there. I know exactly where this is going. You have yourself a chat with some folks who know me, Bobo, is that? Maybe someone told you I wasn’t such a nice guy in the past. Come on, level with me.”
Bobo Sweetcakes: “It’s like I said, when you’re champion, everyone is targeting you, even your friends.”
Slayton puts an arm on the shoulder of his good friend.
David Slayton: “Listen, man, I know I don’t have a good track record with keeping friends, and yes, I’ve stabbed a lot of people in the back, but that was a long time ago, Bobo. I’ve grown up, learned a thing or two, like how you don’t get too many chances to have good friends in this business, and I consider you one of them.”
Bobo Sweetcakes: “You do?”
David Slayton: “Of course I do. Oh sure, you might snore a little while we’re on the road, sing way too many showtunes, and I’m not sure what your obsession with baked goods is all about, but you’re a quality individual, Bobo, and I’m proud to call you my friend.”
Bobo Sweetcakes: “Thanks, Dave.”
David Slayton: “But there is the issue of that championship.”
Bobo sighs.
Bobo Sweetcakes: “I knew you were going to get to that.”
David Slayton: “It’s nothing personal, man. How’s about we do this, tonight, we go out on the town, grab ourselves a bite to eat, and celebrate our upcoming battle, you know, like two proud warriors.”
Bobo Sweetcakes: “Does that involve cake?”
The crowd laughs, as Slayton just shakes his head with a smirk.
David Slayton: “It wouldn’t be a Slayton-Bobo Production without it, now would it?’
Bobo Sweetcakes: “Awesome! I’ll catch up with you in a little bit, Dave. I’ve got a big decision to make right now.”
Bobo turns back to the cookies, still debating, as Slayton just stares at his friend before walking away.
David Slayton: “I’ve got some weird ass friends.”
Bobo holds up a chocolate chip cookie, seemingly satisfied with his decision, before the camera fades out. "WHAT’S A CUPCAKE BETWEEN FRIENDS?"
We open with a shot of two pristine looking cupcakes, red velvet with champagne icing. As the camera pans back, we see the smiling face of one Bobo Sweetcakes, clad in his wrestling gear, his Adrenaline Title slung over his right shoulder. The camera pans a bit further to see the face of one David Slayton.
David Slayton: “Bobo, I..I don’t know what to say man. I’ve, well, I’ve never had a friend like you, that’s for sure.”
Bobo Sweetcakes: “I know! Aren’t they awesome? I stayed up all night making them!”
David Slayton: “Gosh, Bobo. Do you want money for them or something? I didn’t even get you anything.”
Bobo Sweetcakes: “I have everything I’ve ever wanted though. These awesome cupcakes, and most awesome best buddy ever.”
David Slayton: “Thanks, Bobo. Alright, it’s pre-match cupcake time!”
Slayton grabs one and pops it in his mouth, gobbling it down, while Bobo takes his time to savor it a bit more. Slayton tries to talk with his mouth full, but stops himself and swallows the cupcake. Slayton now has a much more serious look on his face, the grizzled veteran of old showing up in true form. Bobo finishes his cupcake and turns, nearly startled by his friend.
Bobo Sweetcakes: “Man, Dave! Are you ok? Do you have the flu or something? Are you allergic to something in the cupcake?”
David Slayton: “Bobo, no matter what, at the end of the night, we’re still going to be friends. But-“
Bobo Sweetcakes: “But what? You’re making me nervous, Dave.”
David Slayton: “Don’t be nervous, Bobo. I’ve seen you look a monster in the eyes for that title. Just show me.”
Bobo Sweetcakes: “Show you what? My rolling pin collection? My autographed Pillsbury Dough Boy photo?”
The crowd laughs, as Slayton almost can’t keep a straight face after that one.
David Slayton: “Show me why you’re champion, Bobo. Don’t hold back. I’ll see you out there.”
Slayton slaps Bobo hard on the shoulder and walks out of the room, but not before muttering “Pillsbury Dough Boy..what the hell?” The camera cuts back to a sighing Bobo.
Bobo Sweetcakes: “Well, Mama Sweetcakes was right, she always said there would be days like this.”
Bobo looks at his title and sighs again, as we cut to commercial. Salvatore Pellegrino: This next contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the Adrenaline Championship! Salvatore Pellegrino: Introducing first, the challenger, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, weighing in at 245 pounds, here is "The New Hotness" DAVIIIID SLAYTOOOOON! PUT ON YOUR WAR PAINT! The lights in the arena all cut to black and the Tron comes to life, pulsating with a green light as a quiet beat gets louder with every flash. It gets faster and faster, and louder with each pulse, until the pulsating light explodes into the words "Blazenwing Rises" and “The Phoenix” by Fall Out Boy blares across the arena sound system. You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down Strike a match and I'll burn you to the ground We are the jack-o-lanterns in July Setting fire to the sky He-here comes this rising tide So come on PUT ON YOUR WAR PAINT! The stage fills with smoke and the crowd rises to their feet, cheering loudly, as the smoke clears on the stage and a man in a dark green trenchcoat stands, head down, facing the Tron. He raises his hands and snaps his fingers, causing four loud bursts of pyro to ignite, two on each side of him, before spinning around Y2J style to reveal David Slayton! Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope-to-dies Silver clouds with grey linings So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked One maniac at a time we will take it back You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start So dance alone to the beat of your heart His sunglasses shining with the glare from the arena lights, David looks to the left, then to the right, nodding towards the crowd before walking down the ramp. After stopping to slap hands with a few fans, David moves towards the ring steps and hops up and down a few times in front of them before quickly racing up the steps to the apron side facing the stage. He stops and pulls his sunglasses off, then tosses them behind his head into the crowd before leaning down and stepping through the ropes to enter the ring. Hey young blood Doesn't it feel like our time is running out? I'm gonna change you like a remix Then I'll raise you like a phoenix You're wearing our vintage misery No, I think it looked a little better on me I'm gonna change you like a remix Then I'll raise you like a phoenix David walks across the ring and leaps up onto the second rope in the corner nearest the timekeeper, then pulls off his green trenchcoat and tosses it towards the timekeeper. David smirks and points to the fans, then slaps his chest a few times and points up towards the sky, closing his eyes and saying a short prayer. David leaps down from the corner and immediately turns to sit down in the same corner, ala Raven. David then rests his head on the second turnbuckle pad as his theme fades and the crowd continues cheering. “My Sweetcakes” the modified Kelis song brings out the Adrenaline Champion, Bobo Sweetcakes wearing a floral pink jumpsuit, and he takes a cart full of his cakes down the ramp into the arena. Salvatore Pellegrino: And his opponent, from Skaneateles, New York, weighing in at 238 pounds, he is the Adrenaline Champion, "The Pâtisserie Extraordinaré" BOBOOOOO SWEEEETCAAAAKES! He smiles a charming smile before entering the ring, holding up his title for all to see. ADRENALINE CHAMPIONSHIP
Bobo Sweetcakes (c) vs. David SlaytonReferee Matt Baker would call for the bell, as Bobo almost seemed a bit hesitant going up against his best friend and tag team partner, but Slayton would have none of it, yelling and motioning to Bobo to bring it. Sweetcakes would nod as the two friends would circle and then lock up. Slayton would get Bobo into a headlock, then an arm wrench, which Bobo would counter, taking Slayton into an arm drag, followed by arm lock. Slayton would work his way back up, countering into an arm lock of his own, but Bobo would fight back out, getting Slayton into a headlock, before quickly turning it into a bulldog, going for a quick cover. Bobo would then light up Slayton which some chops, which seemed to wake up the grizzled veteran, who would return them with just as much sting to his friend before hitting a short arm clothesline. Slayton would follow this up with a high elbow drop, going for a cover and getting a two count. Slayton would bring Bobo to his feet and get caught in The Sugar Rush, Bobo tagging Slayton with a haymaker, a rocking European uppercut, followed by punch to the shoulder and a knee to the gut, before grabbing Slayton and dropping him with a reverse DDT, and another cover, another two count. Bobo would whip Slayton into the corner and charge in like a bull with a headbutt, only for Slayton to move out of the way, Bobo crashing shoulder first into the ring post. Staggering out, Slayton would hit a Samoan drop on Bobo for a long two count. Slayton would then measure Bobo for a German suplex, hitting one, still latching onto Bobo, but this time Sweetcakes would deliver some back elbows to counter before hitting the ropes and colliding with Slayton on a furious shining double strike which almost knocked out the BWF legend. Bobo would crawl to the cover and get a long two count of his own. Bobo would whip Slayton into the corner again and then begin hitting more stinging chops, as the two men would trade places, back and forth, each pushing the other into the corner and hitting chops, and it seemed Bobo was getting the worst of it, as Slayton would then hit a spiking implant DDT on Bobo out of the corner. Slayton would then go for From The Ashes(frogsplash) but meet nothing but Bobo’s knees on the counter. Bobo would get to his feet, waiting for Slayton before hitting the IDT(jumping roundhouse kick) Slayton falling like a stack of cards. Bobo would go for the pin, and somehow, Slayton would get the shoulder up! The crowd, enjoying this match, really didn’t know who to cheer for at this point, as Bobo didn’t know what to do next. Bobo would bring Slayton to his feet as the two men began exchanging blows, Slayton coming back to life, until some stiff elbows to the chest would slow him down. Bobo would hook Slayton for a cutter, but he was pushed off. Turning, Bobo was CRACKED with The Full Effect (Sweet Chin Music) out of nowhere, crumpling to the mat, as Slayton fell onto Bobo for the cover, and this time it was Slayton’s turn to be in disbelief as Bobo would kick out! Slayton would motion to Bobo as Sweetcakes stumbled to his feet as Slayton would try for the Full Effect once more, but Bobo would duck, connecting with the IDT for the second time! Both men were down as slowly they would stumble into corners. Bobo seemed more alert as he would yell and charge in for a flying headbutt..ONLY TO BE HIT AGAIN WITH THE FULL EFFECT! The crowd roared as Slayton once again would just fall onto Bobo for the pin, this time getting the 1,2,3 and becoming new champion!! Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner and NEEEW ADRENALINE CHAMPION, DAAVIIID SLAYTOOON!!! Post Match: Slayton is elated as he’s handed the Adrenaline Title, raising it high above his head with both hands. In the background, we see the dejected and very emotional Bobo Sweetcakes, wondering just what went wrong. Slayton scales a turnbuckle and salutes the crowd, then looks over at his fallen friend. Bobo looks up at Slayton, almost ashamed, mouthing “I’m sorry. I didn’t show you anything.” Slayton shakes his head, yanking Bobo to his feet. Slayton says “Like hell you didn’t” before raising the arm of the former champion to a thunderous ovation. Exhausted, Bobo falls into an embrace with Slayton, emotionally spent from the whole thing, as Slayton rubs the back of Bobo’s head, saying something to him we can’t hear before the two best friends leave together, the crowd giving them a standing ovation as they go. SINGLES MATCH
NON-TITLE
David Slayton vs. Crash Jackson
Nearly matched in size, the men lock up, trying to jockey for position. Jackson eventually just kicks Slayton in the gut and follows it up with a throat thrust. Jackson remains in control, hitting a spinebuster, a swinging fisherman neckbreaker, and a death valley driver. Jackson tops all that off by getting Slayton up in a torture rack. Slayton manages to get his leg free, and reverses it into the Randy Orton-style backbreaker, which takes as much out of Slayton as it did Jackson. Slayton double underhooks Jackson, but it's countered into a back body drop. Slayton quickly gets back up, and looks to hit a Full Effect, but Jackson sees it coming, and catches his foot, throwing it away before kicking Slayton in the gut and lifting him for the Dominator. Slayton squirms off Jackson's shoulder, and locks in the Firehawk Lock! After a while of clawing, Jackson manages to grab the rope. Slayton brings Jackson to his feet, and Jackson headbutts Slayton before whipping him into the ropes. Jackson goes off the adjacent ropes, looking for the Pulverizer, but gets hit with a Full Effect from outta nowhere! David gets the cover.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner, DAVID SLAYTON!
Post Match: David celebrates his win before it fades to black. Tag Team Match
The Yuganagi Twins vs. David Slayton & Jay Blazenwing
Jay and David make quick work of the Yuganagi Twins, Jay hitting Jumping Triple Northern Lights Suplexes, Rolling Butterfly Suplexes followed by a Double Underhook DDT, and Blazen Double Barrel Shotgun. David would hit a Triple Suplex, Double Underhook Backbreaker, and a Death Valley Driver. David would hit Bruce with the Full Effect, before tagging in Jay who hit Flight of the Phoenix for the three count.
Jen Brunelli: Here are your winners, DAVID SLAYTON AND JAY BLAZENWING!
Immediately following the match, David Slayton receives a microphone.
David Slayton: Bobo, I will agree to the end all be all match at Supershow V, however, I will not agree to a one-on-one match. You see, Jay and I come from a place where there are no gender boundaries, where men and women fight each other all the time. So what I propose to you, is at AXW Supershow V, David Slayton and Jay Blazenwing will team up against Bobo Sweetcakes and Olya Oglovska in a tag team match!
Cole Haywood: That's not fair! Poor Olya still has to wear that face mask from the injuries she received from David a while ago!
Mike Vincent: According to her doctor, she was only going to take a month to heal, that deadline has passed a long time ago. 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, and another man in a black and silver clamped trench coat stand, heads down, facing the Tron. They raise their hands and snap their fingers, causing four loud bursts of pyro to ignite, two on each side of them, before spinning around Y2J style to reveal David Slayton and Jay Blazenwing! Jen Brunelli: This next contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at a combined weight of 452 pounds, "The New Hotness" DAVID SLAYTON, and JAY BLAZENWING! 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 Their sunglasses shining with the glare from the arena lights, they 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 and Jay move towards the ring steps and hops up and down a few times in front of them before quickly racing up the steps, David first then Jay, to the apron side facing the stage. They stop and pull their sunglasses off, then tosses them behind their heads 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, and Jay to an adjacent corner, then both men pull of their respective trench coats, tossing them to the outside. Both men smirk and points to the fan, then slaps his chest a few times and points up towards the sky, closing his eyes and saying a short prayer. They leap down from their corners and David immediately turns to sit down in the same corner, ala Raven. Jay climbs to the top of David's corner from the apron, and sits on the top turnbuckle. David then rests his head on the second turnbuckle pad as his theme fades and the crowd continues cheering. The entire arena goes dark as thirteen individuals bearing candles walk down towards the ring. Despite the peppy, upbeat tones of "Like A Prayer" by Madonna blasting through the arena, the entire arena is only illuminated by those thirteen candles, any cellphones which may be turned on, and a spotlight on the stage. Olya Oglovska steps out onto the stage, wearing a protective face mask. Bobo Sweetcakes comes out after, wheeling his pastry cart down to the ring. Jen Brunelli: And their opponents, the team of OLYA OGLOVSKA and BOBO SWEETCAKES! Olya and Bobo make their way into the ring. The candle bearers leave ringside and the lights return to normal.  David Slayton tells his little brother that he wants to start off with the match whereas Olya decides upon herself that she wants to wrestle first, ignoring Bobo Sweetcakes’ request. The bell rings as David tells Olya that he wants to face Bobo first, who actually wants to fight his rival. Olya yells out in her thick accent that David is scared of facing a woman like her. David shrugs and the two has a test of strength. David uses his technical prowess to school the young lady as we see some nice grappling moves being displayed which kept Olya grounded. After taking down Olya with a firemans carry, David slaps her head a few times and smirks at her. Both competitors get on their feet and once again David demands Olya to tag in Bobo who is waiting in the corner impatiently, but Olya refuses and asks for a test of strength again. David agrees and once they get close to one another, Olya tries to sneak in a kick to the sternum, but the veteran sees it coming a mile away as he catches it and grabs the other leg in order to trip her on the mat. David then catapults Olya to his corner, her protective mask slamming right on the turnbuckle. David hits the german suplex on the rebounding Olya before tagging in his brother Jay. Jay goes to the top rope and waits for Olya to get up. Olya turns around and dodges in time to see a flying crossbody attempt by Jay Blazenwing. Jay crashes hard on the mat as Olya immediately does the Oklahoma roll, but Jay kicks out at two. Both of them get on their feet and Jay goes for a clothesline, but Olya ducks and hits a jumping neckbreaker. Olya then follows it up with a running senton right on the torso before pinning Jay again, who gets his shoulder up in time. Olya says something in Russian before tagging in Bobo Sweetcakes who remarks, "Oh now you want me in the match!" The couple gets in a small argument, allowing Jay Blazenwing some time to catch his breath and makes his way to tag in David Slayton. When Bobo finally pays attention to Jay only to find out that David is back in the match and David hits him with a running forearm smash. Bobo tries to get up but receives another forearm smash. David then picks up Bobo and does a triple suplex before running to the ropes and hitting a knee drop to the face of Bobo. David hooks the legs but Olya hits a running dropkick to the face of David, breaking the pin. Jay enters the ring to go after Olya, but Olya hits a Blazenwing like superkick which she calls the Soviet Sickle that knocks the young Slayton off his feet! Jay rolls out of the ring in pain while Olga drags her partner Bobo to her corner, ignoring the referee's order. Olya tags in herself and gets back in the ring to hit a Slingshot neckbreaker to David Slayton. Olya then starts stomping on the downed body of David while screaming stuff at him in her native language. Olya then gets Slayton to his feet and hits a picture perfect Sit out Powerbomb, showing off her amazing strength. The referee drops down to count the pin and Jay Blazenwing saves his brother in time! This time Bobo Sweetcakes enters the ring and the two go at it which spills to outside of the ring after Jay performs a cactus clothesline. The two start brawling but Bobo gets the upperhand when he rakes the eyes of Jay and tosses him hard on the barricade. Meanwhile in the ring, Olya sets David up for her finisher Gnostic Orthodox[Crucifix Pin], but David counters it and sends Olya to the ropes. and Olya springboards from the ropes and goes for a superman punch but David spears the boots out of her! David pumps up the crowd as he goes to the corner, signalling that he wants to end this match with the Full Effect. David tunes up the band, but before he can perform the Sweet chin music, Bobo jumps on the apron and distracts him. David tries to fend off Bobo as Olya gets to her feet while in wobbly legs. Olya then runs at David and David ducks away in time and Olya accidentally hits Bobo with the Big Boot! Olya looks at her downed client/boyfriend in horror, realizing her mistake before turning around to get hit by the Full Effect, courtesy of David Slayton. Instead of going for the pin, David tags in his brother who wanted the tag despite feeling the effects of his brawl with Bobo at outside. Jay climbs up the turnbuckle and hits the Flight of the Phoenix (Top Rope Double Stomp) right on the sternum of Olya. Jay gingerly pins Olya for the one two three while Bobo fails to break up the pin in time. Jen Brunelli: Here are your winners, DAVID SLAYTON AND JAY BLAZENWING! Mike Vincent: There seemed to be some miscommunication between Bobo and Olya tonight. "Hymne National du Québec" plays and out walks Jean-Pierre Frontenac carrying the Quebec Flag. He waves it several times happily and begins his walk to the ring, smiling and waving at everyone in attendance. He reaches ringside, walks the steps and wipes his feet on the apron. He steps into the ring and waves the flag again. He secures in in the corner, then smiles and waves again. 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.

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. As the music starts Mateusz walks in quickly. He rises his fists and screams "yeah" to the audience. After this, he jumps one time and he walks to the ring. Mateusz rolls into the ring and walks on the corner. After that, he pounds his chest with his right hand and once more he rises his fists and screams. After another scream he stays on a ring.

David pulls himself up from the corner and does some last minute stretching with the ropes. Jen Brunelli: And from Warsaw, Poland, weighing in at 245 pounds, he is the defending AXW Adrenaline Champion, "The Polish Hammer" MATEEEEUUUSZ BAAARRRTKOWIAAAAAAAAAAK! Mateusz raises his championship into the air.  Slayton and Bartkowiak immediately target Frontenac, Slayton hooking JPF's arms while MB lays in a big open hand chop to the chest of JPF. MB delivers two more before Slayton hits JPF with a tiger suplex. Slayton connects with a reverse atomic drop to JPF and holds him there so MB can catch him with the big boot. Slayton hits JPF with a double underhook backbreaker, holds him on the knee, as MB uses his height to his advantage by leaping into the air and connecting with a standing leg drop to JPF. JPF finally rolls out of the ring and now it's down to Slayton and MB. Slayton extends his hand, MB accepts it, and Slayton pulls MB in for a headlock. MB counters into a big back suplex. MB goozles Slayton and tries for a chokeslam, but Slayton lands behind him. Slayton tries to catch MB with a Full Effect, but MB catches his foot. MB throws his foot and Slayton hits him with a spinning heel kick. Slayton grabs MB and connects with triple German suplexes. Slayton takes MB out for the time being with a Death Valley Driver, and when JPF tries to re-enter the ring, Slayton tries to give one to him as well, but JPF gets free, and locks in a hammerlock, before connecting with a hammerlock STO. JPF sends Slayton shoulder first into the ring post, then connects with a hammerlock northern lights suplex. JPF locks in a Je me Souviens, but Slayton gets saved by Bartkowiak who lifts JPF up in a Flagpole Crash. Bartkowiak locks JPF in a Pain Enlargement. He's locked in for a little while, before Slayton hits Bartkowiak with a Full Effect. Before JPF knows it, he's locked in another submission, the Firehawk Lock from Slayton, which is locked in deep in the middle of the ring. JPF tries so hard to fight it but in the ends, taps. Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, and the NEEEEEWWWW AXW ADRENALINE CHAMPION, DAVIIIIIID SLAAAAAAYTOOOOOON! Mike Vincent: David Slayton becomes the third ever two-time Adrenaline Champion tonight. Lily Luna: This match really could have gone anyway, but the veteran Blazenwing stands tall. Chris Pierce: Ever since the Adrenaline Championship was defended whenever the champion fought, it's made these matches that much more exciting. Cole Haywood: Meh. Let me know when JPF is champ again. "The Phoenix" plays once again as David Slayton celebrates his big win, high fiving some of the fans at ringside before we cut to a commercial break. Luke Mathews: All of the AXW Championships are undergoing new designs. On the subject of championships, I'd like you all to please give a warm welcome to the AXW Adrenaline Champion, David Slayton. David Slayton makes his way from the audience to the stage as "The Phoenix" plays through the speakers. David, also dressed in a suit, makes his way onto the stage, shaking hands with Luke Mathews. One noticeable thing about David - he doesn't have the Adrenaline Championship with him. Luke Mathews: As of right now, David Slayton's second reign as Adrenaline Champion is over. The Adrenaline Championship was not my creation, so it'd feel wrong for me to continue using it outside of EWS. The rights to use the Adrenaline Championship, as well as the physical title itself, have been returned to Jacob Fox. However, David's hard earned victory to win the title will not go unnoticed. As of this moment, David Slayton is the AXW Xperience Champion. Luke pulls a sleeve from underneath the podium, and from the sleeve pulls out the new AXW Xperience Championship, and rests it on David's shoulder. David shines it with his wrist, and looks at his reflection in the center plate. Luke Mathews: What's going to make the Xperience Championship stand out? I'll tell you. Much like the Adrenaline Championship, the Xperience Championship will be defended every time the champion competes in a singles match. However, there are some more twists to make it more interesting. If the champion manages to hold onto the championship for a consecutive ninety days, then they can redeem the Xperience Championship for another Championship Match of their choosing. Redeeming the championship will then cause you to be stripped of the championship, and if you lose your chosen Championship Match, then you have to start all over again. Salvatore Pellegrino: This next contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the AXW Xperience Championship! Introducing first, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, weighing in at 245 pounds, he is the AXW Xperience Champion, "The New Hotness" DAVID SLAYTON! PUT ON YOUR WAR PAINT! The lights in the arena all cut to black and the Tron comes to life, pulsating with a green light as a quiet beat gets louder with every flash. It gets faster and faster, and louder with each pulse, until the pulsating light explodes into the words "Blazenwing Rises" and “The Phoenix” by Fall Out Boy blares across the arena sound system. You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down Strike a match and I'll burn you to the ground We are the jack-o-lanterns in July Setting fire to the sky He-here comes this rising tide So come on PUT ON YOUR WAR PAINT! The stage fills with smoke and the crowd rises to their feet, cheering loudly, as the smoke clears on the stage and a man in a dark green trenchcoat stands, head down, facing the Tron. He raises his hands and snaps his fingers, causing four loud bursts of pyro to ignite, two on each side of him, before spinning around Y2J style to reveal David Slayton! Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope-to-dies Silver clouds with grey linings So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked One maniac at a time we will take it back You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start So dance alone to the beat of your heart His sunglasses shining with the glare from the arena lights, David looks to the left, then to the right, nodding towards the crowd before walking down the ramp. After stopping to slap hands with a few fans, David moves towards the ring steps and hops up and down a few times in front of them before quickly racing up the steps to the apron side facing the stage. He stops and pulls his sunglasses off, then tosses them behind his head into the crowd before leaning down and stepping through the ropes to enter the ring. Hey young blood Doesn't it feel like our time is running out? I'm gonna change you like a remix Then I'll raise you like a phoenix You're wearing our vintage misery No, I think it looked a little better on me I'm gonna change you like a remix Then I'll raise you like a phoenix David walks across the ring and leaps up onto the second rope in the corner nearest the timekeeper, then pulls off his green trenchcoat and tosses it towards the timekeeper. David smirks and points to the fans, then slaps his chest a few times and points up towards the sky, closing his eyes and saying a short prayer. David leaps down from the corner and receives a microphone. David Slayton: Looks like I'm a little late, sorry about that JPF. Couldn't have happened to a better guy... well, since it won't be that smelly French Canadian, let's find out who my opponent is. The opening drum beat of "Mene (We don't feel anything)" by Brand New plays as Fredrick Wyndham appears to the chorus of boos from the fans. Salvatore Pellegrino: And his opponent, from Cloverleaf, Texas, weighing in at 265 pounds, "The Most Known Unknown" FREDRICK WYNDHAM! The music cuts out as Fredrick begins to speak. Fredrick Wyndham: Now, for whatever reason, I am banned from ringside for the main event. Why? Why would I get involved? The only involvement I would have is to help Justin win. I want Justin to win. I want Justin to hold onto the title for 90 days, because in 90 days I am going to redeem the Xperience Championship to take away the AXW Championship from Justin.  vs.  AXW Xperience Championship
The two lock up with David Slayton taking control with a series of German suplexes. Slayton gets Wyndham in the corner and comes in with a forearm smash, then brings him out for a vertical suplex, then hits a jumping elbow drop. Slayton lifts Wyndham onto his shoulders but Wyndham slips free and plants Slayton with an inverted DDT. Slayton is quick to get up and swings at Wyndham, Wyndham catches his arm and sets him up for a Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked (Devil-lock DDT). Slayton uses the ropes to help himself up and gets clotheslined out of the ring by Wyndham, who then dives out of the ring onto Slayton with No Limit (Shooting star Plancha). Wyndham sends Slayton into the stairs before getting him back into the ring. Wyndham enters the ring via Springboard 450 splash onto Slayton, upset that he only gets a two count but stays in control, with a Zero Remorse (Backdrop suplex turned into cutter), getting more upset that this doesn't win him the match. Wyndham gets Slayton back to his feet only for Slayton to take Wyndham down with a series of short arm clotheslines that culminate with a sit-out facebuster. Slayton lifts Wyndham up and delivers a Death Valley Driver, and waits for Wyndham to get to his feet. When he does, Slayton looks for The Full Effect (Sweet Chin Music), but Wyndham catches the foot, before quickly bringing Slayton down to the mat with Slayton's own move, the Firehawk Lock (Crippler Crossface). Slayton is locked in for a little bit, but he knows the move too well and manages to escape it, before locking in a Firehawk Lock onto Wyndham, deep in the middle fo the ring, which forces Wyndham to faintly tap out. Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner as a result of a submission, and STILL the AXW Xperience Champion, DAVID SLAYTON! Mike Vincent: A game Fredrick Wyndham came to play, but David Slayton was a step ahead. Cole Haywood: In the end, it's not about Slayton for Wyndham, it's about that other Wyndham. David celebrates with his title before we cut to commercial. |

Mike Vincent: David Slayton moves a bit closer to getting another title match of his choosing. Cole Haywood: Don't worry, someone will stop him, and I really hope it's on day 89. David celebrates his win before we head backstage to Renee Peltier. The lights in the arena go out, one by one, until the entire arena is blanketed in complete darkness. A few seconds pass of this, the crowd cheering loudly, eagerly awaiting whatever is going to come next. The JumboTron comes to life with a neon pink butterfly, slowly flapping its wings against darkness. With every flap of its wings, the arena lights pulse. The flapping gets faster and faster, until finally, the butterfly explodes into glitter. When it does, a stage-wide blast of pink and purple pyro explodes across the stage and as the screen fills with the words "Stutterfly" Starla Gardevoir, "Endless Possibility" by Jaret Reddick begins playing over the sound system! This is my escape I'm running through this world And I'm not looking back The crowd explodes in a flurry of cheers as Starla Gardevoir struts onto the stage and points to the crowd, grinning. She moves to each side of the stage, posing for the fans, then comes back to the center of the stage before dropping to one knee and posing as a shower of pink pyro begins falling behind her! 'Cause I know I can go Where no one's ever gone And I'm not looking back Starla stands up, still grinning from ear to ear, and then quickly bounds down the ramp, slapping fan's hands along the way. Towards the bottom of the ramp, she stops and turns back to the stage, then poses with her back to the ring. Starla turns back and laughs, then makes her way around ringside, high-fiving fans as she goes. But how will I know when I get there? And how will I know when to leave? We've all got to start from somewhere It's like that for me The possibilities are never ending After a quick trip around the ring, Starla runs towards the ring apron facing the stage and leaps up, turning in midair and sliding from one side of the apron to the other on one knee. Starla stands up and steps over the second rope, then leans in slowly, showcasing her butt for the cheering male fans before entering the ring completely. I see it, I see it And now it's all within my reach Endless possibility I see it, I see it now It's always been inside of me And now I feel so free Endless possibility Starla then heads up to the top of the nearest turnbuckle and poses once more.

Starla grabs the head of David and runs up the ropes for a Sliced Bread #2. Starla runs the ropes before bringing David to the mat with a corkscrew neckbreaker. Starla connects with a Double Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors Takeover, which causes David to roll out of the ring to regain some composure. Starla doesn't allow it as she comes through the ropes with a suicide dive. Starla climbs onto the apron and looks to connect with an Asai Moonsault, but David catches her, and slams her onto the apron. David climbs onto the apron, and lifts Starla to her feet, but Starla stops whatever he had planned as she hits a rope-assisted enzuigiri, David falling through the ropes and back into the ring.

David brings Starla to her feet and connects with a double underhook backbreaker.

David manages to crawl his way to the ropes to break the hold. Starla manages to lift David up for a lifting DDT, then heads to the top rope where she connects with a Flying Overcastle Neckbreaker.

David is starting to get back to his feet, Starla looks to help bring him to his feet, but David hits her with The Full Effect from out of nowhere! David falls to the mat with her, and instead of going for the cover, grabs her arm and tucks it between his legs as he locks in the Firehawk Lock (Crippler Crossface)! It doesn't take long for Starla to faintly tap out. Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner as a result of a submission, and STILL the AXW Xperience Champion, DAVID SLAYTON! Mike Vincent: A clash of two good friends, David Slayton comes out still on top after a classic battle. Cole Haywood: Friendships will get you nowhere, Starla continues being unsuccessful in her quest to "break down boundaries". Matt Baker hands David his championship, but he immediately sets it down on the mat as he helps bring Starla back to her feet. The two share a hug in the middle of the ring, when they separate, the camera pick up Starla saying, "One day, Dave, I will take that from you." David's reply is, "Game on, Stutterfly." They fist bump, and Starla exits, giving the ring to David to continue his celebration. Cole Haywood: I'm gonna vomit. Mike Vincent: Thanks for tuning in to AXW! Tune in next week for The Alternative, where it has been made official, Zoey Mathews-Mitchell and Velvet Valentine of The Takeover will face The Push in a non-title match up. Goodnight everyone! John Hendon: You know, we've talked about the AXW Women's Championship and the AXW Light Heavyweight Championship, in fact, every championship will be on the line, except for one. September 26 also just happens to be the wedding day of Starla Gardevoir and Gabe Shelley, and David Slayton being the good friend that he is will be in attendance to watch his friends celebrate their big day. Zack Fields: Surely David will be defending the Xperience Championship against the bridesmaid or something right? He's last defended the title on September 5, which means if he won't be at Anarchy then the next opportunity to defend the title is October 3. So he's just gonna pretty much get a free ride to his next title shot with a free 30 days? John Hendon: Not at all! We have a surprise in store for you, as David Slayton will be defending the AXW Xperience Championship right here on the Anarchy Preview! We've got some cameras waiting in the Mathews Family Training Facility, where David Slayton is set to defend his Xperience Championship!
The cameras switch feeds to the Mathews Family Training Facility, more specifically the area known as the Mini Arena. The Mini Arena consists of a ring (of course), a down-scaled stage and entrance way, and about 25-30 seats which feature various AXW stars, looking forward to a good match. Spread out in the seats are TRENT, Danny Hall, Cletus Mathews, Brad Adams, Renee Peltier, Starla Gardevoir, Olya Oglovska, Craig Brooks, Max Kilburne, Gina Furlow, Malcolm M. Mitchell, Zoey Mathews-Mitchell, Velvet Valentine, Leland Alexander, Ryan Starr, and Janet Hurricane. Chris Pierce and Cole Haywood are stood outside the ring as they address the camera. Cole Haywood: A little unorthodox here, but we're about to have an Xperience Championship match right here in the Mathews Family Training Facility, in front of a staggering sixteen crazy fans. Chris Pierce: And you can feel the excitement as these sixteen fans are going absolutely wild for this historic event. The crowd applauses, except for the Misfits who boo as we hear TRENT exlcaim "David Slayton sucks!" Cole and Chris make their way to the announce table, which is a folding table at the edge of the ring. Cole Haywood: Before we get this match under way, I gotta ask something. (He looks over to Zoey and Malcolm in the crowd) You guys are part owners here, why couldn't you get a regular announce desk in here? What is this the eighties? Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: As part owner, we can also kick you out on the street and not pay you for this gig tonight. Malcolm M. Mitchell: And with your poor vision, I'm surprised you can even see the table. Chris Pierce: If you want, I can go get you some ice. Cole Haywood: I didn't hear nothin'. At this point, Senior Official Matt Baker pushes through the curtain as he makes his way to the ring. Chris Pierce: Coming down the aisle is one of the greatest in the sport of professional refereeing, a true hero to many, weighing in at an impressive 188 pounds, from Augusta, Georgia, he is the man, the myth, the legend, the often imitated but never duplicated, the incomparable, MATT BAKER! The crowd gives a standing ovation to Matt Baker, who just stands in the ring as any referee would. ‘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. Cole Haywood: Introducing the challenger, from someplace in Florida that isn't Miami, I forget his weight but I know it's less than the referee, he is named after the brand of laptop I use, ACER STONE! 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. The lights in the Mini Arena all go out 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 except the Misfits who are booing, 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, before spinning around Y2J style to reveal David Slayton! Cole Haywood: And his opponent, from the land of many cheeses, weighing in at a weight higher than the referee's, he is the founder of the Blazin' Wings Challenge at Buffalo Wild Wings, and the defending AXW Xperience Champion, 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 a corner, then pulls off his green trenchcoat and tosses it on the floor. 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, except for the Misfits who are still booing. vs.  AXW Xperience ChampionshipDavid and Acer slap hands before going in for a lock up, David easily taking Acer to the mat. David sends Acer across the ring with an overhead belly-to-belly suplex. David continues his offense with three consecutive German suplexes. David brings Acer to his feet and Acer catches him with a picture perfect dropkick. Acer hits David with an enzuigiri then springboards off the second rope for a disaster kick. If that wasn't enough, Acer follows up with a shining wizard. Acer tries to follow up with a Stone Crusher (Axe Kick), but David catches him in a powerbomb position. Instead of powerbombing him, David throws him into the air and connects with a sitout facebuster. David hooks Acer's arms and delivers a double underhook backbreaker. David follows up with an inverted DDT then leaps into the air for a jumping elbow drop. David whips Acer to the corner and runs in after him, but Acer gets his boot up. David staggers back as Acer comes off the second rope with a springboard hurricanrana, David rolling out of the ring. Acer doesn't give David much of a breather as Acer runs full sprint across the ring and suicide dives through the ropes, taking David down. Acer tries to get David back into the ring, but it's David who rolls Acer into the ring, David coming in after breaking the twenty count. Acer runs the ropes and David tries to catch him with a clothesline, Acer ducking and rolling David up with a school boy, getting a two count. David kicks Acer in the gut and throws him back to the ropes, this time Acer once again springboards, this time planting David with a tornado DDT. Acer quickly punches the air three times then runs the ropes and connects with the Stone Crusher. Acer climbs to the top rope, perhaps because he wanted to go for the Shooting Star Elbow Drop, but David is getting to his feet. Acer changes his game plan and leaps off for a crossbody, only to get damn near decapitated as David kicks him out of the air with the Full Effect (Sweet Chin Music)! David goes for the cover and that's all she wrote. Cole Haywood: Acer Stone may not be my favorite, but he really brought it in this match-up. Chris Pierce: Acer Stone may have a few losses going for him right now, but make no mistake about it, he does have a bright future ahead of him in AXW. Cole Haywood: And David Slayton's reign continues as he's now almost two-thirds of the way to another championship match of his choosing, as he now sits at 58 days. I gotta tell ya, I can't wait for him to lose it on day 89. That'd be amazing. After the match, David Slayton helps Acer Stone to his feet and the two show good sportsmanship by shaking hands. David raises Acer's arm as the crowd cheers, except the Misfits, who are still booing. Chris Pierce: That's it from the Mathews Family Training Facility, let's send it back down the road to AXW Headquarters. Salvatore Pellegrino: This next contest is set for one fall, and is for the AXW Xperience Championship! 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 demands that the ring announcer opens the ropes for him. Felicia shrugs at the referee and quickly scrambles over and holds open the ropes as Corman enters the ring. Corman smirks and again repeats the High Rollers hand gesture by the ropes. PUT ON YOUR WAR PAINT! The lights in the arena all cut to black and the Tron comes to life, pulsating with a green light as a quiet beat gets louder with every flash. It gets faster and faster, and louder with each pulse, until the pulsating light explodes into the words "Blazenwing Rises" and “The Phoenix” by Fall Out Boy blares across the arena sound system. You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down Strike a match and I'll burn you to the ground We are the jack-o-lanterns in July Setting fire to the sky He-here comes this rising tide So come on PUT ON YOUR WAR PAINT! The stage fills with smoke and the crowd rises to their feet, cheering loudly, as the smoke clears on the stage and a man in a dark green trenchcoat stands, head down, facing the Tron. He raises his hands and snaps his fingers, causing four loud bursts of pyro to ignite, two on each side of him, before spinning around Y2J style to reveal David Slayton! Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope-to-dies Silver clouds with grey linings So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked One maniac at a time we will take it back You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start So dance alone to the beat of your heart His sunglasses shining with the glare from the arena lights, David looks to the left, then to the right, nodding towards the crowd before walking down the ramp. After stopping to slap hands with a few fans, David moves towards the ring steps and hops up and down a few times in front of them before quickly racing up the steps to the apron side facing the stage. He stops and pulls his sunglasses off, then tosses them behind his head into the crowd before leaning down and stepping through the ropes to enter the ring. Hey young blood Doesn't it feel like our time is running out? I'm gonna change you like a remix Then I'll raise you like a phoenix You're wearing our vintage misery No, I think it looked a little better on me I'm gonna change you like a remix Then I'll raise you like a phoenix David walks across the ring and leaps up onto the second rope in the corner nearest the timekeeper, then pulls off his green trenchcoat and tosses it towards the timekeeper. David smirks and points to the fans, then slaps his chest a few times and points up towards the sky, closing his eyes and saying a short prayer. David leaps down from the corner and immediately turns to sit down in the same corner, ala Raven. David then rests his head on the second turnbuckle pad as his theme fades and the crowd continues cheering. Salvatore Pellegrino: Introducing first, the challenger, from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 275 pounds, he is "The Icon" STEVE CORMAN! Steve raises a fist into the air oozing with confidence. Salvatore Pellegrino: And his opponent, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, weighing in at 245 pounds, he is the defending AXW Xperience Champion, "The New Hotness" DAVID SLAYTON! David raises his championship into the air, matching Steve's confidence. vs.  AXW Xperience ChampionshipOur highly-anticipated rematch commences with both combatants throwing clenched fists. Given how heated hostilities are between Slayton and Corman, the referee does not reprimand them. “Big Stevie Cool” ends the back-and-forth with a swift right knee to Slayton’s breadbasket. Corman signals for his patented Corman Cutter by lifting David into an inverted crucifix position. David Slayton has enough presence of mind to slip out and score with a Reverse DDT. His follow-up of a nonchalant cover makes it easy for “The Icon” to shrug off the champion. Steve Corman then proceeds to German Suplex Slayton twice before connecting with a Ted DiBiase-inspired Falling Fist Drop. The measured weight sounds like a sledgehammer being driven onto Slayton’s skull. Steve pulls David back to a Vertical Base to damage our Xperience Champion’s head with a Coconut Smash off his left knee. Slayton counters by chop blocking the knee and applying a Dragon Sleeper. However, when he notices Corman’s left knee giving way, Slayton transitions into a Standing Anklelock. Corman kicks Slayton in his right arm repeatedly but the pressure intensifies. Steve decides to use the ropes as a last resort to have the hold broken. As a means of creating much needed separation, Corman crashes craniums with Slayton using a Double Handed Headbutt. “The Icon” bounds east-to-west appearing to hit a major knockout blow. Match ends with “The New Hotness” David Slayton ducking under a monstrous Running Right Boot to the Face. He then proceeds to rear back slightly on his back leg before delivering The Full Effect. Slayton goes for a lateral press while hooking both legs. 1..2..3! Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner and STILL the AXW Xperience Champion, DAVID SLAYTON! Mike Vincent: Despite being a veteran of the gam and competing for over ten years, this is a big win for David Slayton. Cole Haywood: It looked like Steve kicked out from where I'm sitting. Mike Vincent: I think he did, but it was after the three count. "The Phoenix" plays throughout the arena as David celebrates a successful title defense. Corman is to his feet and David extends his hand, but Steve ignores it as he exits the ring. Duncan Aries: .... As long as I'm champion, no one will be taking this title away from me. Not Crash Jackson, not Justin Wyndham, not Fredrick Wyndham, not Steve Corman, not Luke the Puke, and DEFINITELY not-- Lily Luna: David Slayton! We don't get David's usual entrance, rather, he sprints full speed out of the curtain with the Xperience Championship in one hand, and the other hand dragging Jessie McCormick by the wrist, probably the first referee he saw, as she does her best to keep up with him. David slides into the ring, Duncan tries to hit him with the AXW Championship, but David ducks it, and as they both turn around, David clocks Duncan upside the head with the Xperience Championship! David shoves the Xperience Championship into Jessie McCormick, and demands she calls for the bell. Jessie hands the Xperience Championship through the ropes to Jen Brunelli, and instructs something to her, Jen nodding her head. Jen Brunelli: Ladies and gentlemen, David Slayton is redeeming the Xperience Championship for an AXW Championship Match! The crowd erupts in cheers. Lily Luna: David Slayton is cashing in! Chris Pierce: Today marks day 94, so he's eligible! This is all legal!  vs. AXW Championship | TALE OF THE TAPE |

Duncan once again uses the ropes to help him up, and hobbles into The Full Effect (Sweet Chin Music)! David falls onto Duncan and hooks the leg, the crowd chanting in unison as Jessie counts,
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, and the NNNNEEEEEEWWWWW AXW CHAMPION, DAAAVIIIIID SLAAAAYTOOOON!
Lily Luna: Duncan Aries has been dethroned! We have a new AXW Champion and his name is David Slayton!
Chris Pierce: Prior to tonight, David has had only one shot at the AXW Championship, and it was his first match here back in July of last year, and now he stands before us as the NEW AXW Champion!
"The Phoenix" blares throughout the arena. David Slayton goes to each turnbuckle and raises his newly won AXW Championship high into the air each time, with confetti falling from the rafters. After several minutes of celebration, David exits the ring and heads up the ramp. He stands on the stage and raises the AXW Championship high into the air once more as pyro blasts beside him with the words "New AXW Champion: David Slayton" are on the jumbotron behind him.
Lily Luna: Ladies and gentlemen, we are now in the era of David Slayton! That's all we have for you, tune in next week to AXW: Day of the Dead Edition!
Salvatore Pellegrino: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the AXW Champion... Salvatore Pellegrino: DAVID SLAYTON! Fall Out Boy's "The Phoenix" hits the sound system and the AXW fans jump to their feet as the new AXW Champion races out onto the stage. He runs from one side to the other, hyping the fans up, before returning to the center of the stage and unstrapping the AXW Championship from his waist. Slayton hoists the belt into the air, eliciting another pop from the crowd, before slinging it over his shoulder and making his way down the ramp, high fiving fans as he goes. Mike Vincent: Folks, don't adjust your television sets. Last Saturday night on The Alternative, if you missed it, David Slayton cashed in his AXW Xperience Title for an impromptu shot at Duncan Aries' AXW Championship. Aries had just finished retaining the Championship against a very game Crash Jackson, when his own words, perhaps, cost him the biggest prize in wrestling today. Let's take you back to one week ago. The scene flashes back to "LAST WEEK", where we join Duncan Aries in the ring after just defeating Crash Jackson. ************************************************************* Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, and STILL the AXW Champion, DUNCAN ARIES! Lily Luna: Duncan Aries manages to sneak by by holding Crash's pants, and retains the AXW Championship for the third week. Chris Pierce: Unfortunately, Matt Baker didn't see it, and I'm sure Cole Haywood didn't either, but-- hold on Crash is attacking Aries! Crash Jackson is not happy about the outcome and is taking it out on Aries. Crash slams Aries to the mat with The Dominator (Bobby Lashley-style Dominator). Crash exits the ring, points at Jen Brunelli, then points away, signalling for her to get off her chair. Jen obliges and Crash takes her chair and re-enters the ring. Crash slams the chair down many times on Duncan's ankle, getting revenge for that dark night in Crash's career almost 3 months ago. Everytime Duncan tries to crawl away, he gets a chair shot to the back, then more to the ankle. Every AXW referee comes down and tries to keep Crash away, and the ring shortly after floods with security. They all manage to get Crash out of the ring and out of the arena. In the ring, Duncan Aries on all fours, demands his championship and a microphone, and uses the ropes to help himself up. He tries to put weight on his ankle, but decides that's not the best idea. Duncan Aries: Let me explain something to you Crash. You see, you're half the man that I am, and that's still giving you too much credit. I'm fine, this will take what, a day to heal, while I broke your ankle and you had to get stretchered out of the arena while I AM STILL STANDING! You were on the shelf for weeks while I can just tape this up and fight tomorrow. You've said that I was scared about you being the longest reigning champ and that you were coming close to breaking my reigns, but that's not the case at all. Not even close, kid. The only person worthy of holding this championship is Duncan Aries, and you are not Duncan Aries. I did what I did because you're a disgrace of a champion, just like everyone else who held this belt who isn't Duncan Aries. And just in case you all forgot, I AM DUNCAN ARIES! As long as I'm champion, no one will be taking this title away from me. Not Crash Jackson, not Justin Wyndham, not Fredrick Wyndham, not Steve Corman, not Luke the Puke, and DEFINITELY not-- Lily Luna: David Slayton! We don't get David's usual entrance, rather, he sprints full speed out of the curtain with the Xperience Championship in one hand, and the other hand dragging Jessie McCormick by the wrist, probably the first referee he saw, as she does her best to keep up with him. David slides into the ring, Duncan tries to hit him with the AXW Championship, but David ducks it, and as they both turn around, David clocks Duncan upside the head with the Xperience Championship! David shoves the Xperience Championship into Jessie McCormick, and demands she calls for the bell. Jessie hands the Xperience Championship through the ropes to Jen Brunelli, and instructs something to her, Jen nodding her head. Jen Brunelli: Ladies and gentlemen, David Slayton is redeeming the Xperience Championship for an AXW Championship Match! The crowd erupts in cheers. Lily Luna: David Slayton is cashing in! Chris Pierce: Today marks day 94, so he's eligible! This is all legal! Duncan once again uses the ropes to help him up, and hobbles into The Full Effect (Sweet Chin Music)! David falls onto Duncan and hooks the leg, the crowd chanting in unison as Jessie counts, ONE! TWO! THREE! Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, and the NNNNEEEEEEWWWWW AXW CHAMPION, DAAAVIIIIID SLAAAAYTOOOON! Lily Luna: Duncan Aries has been dethroned! We have a new AXW Champion and his name is David Slayton! ************************************************************* Cole Haywood: Ugh, did we really need to watch that AGAIN? One of, if not THE darkest days in AXW history - and one of the cheapest, low-down, dirty title "wins" I've ever seen in my career. Mike Vincent: Dirty? How? What Slayton did was completely within the rules set by Luke Mathews when the Xperience Title was introduced. All he did was use the tools given to him! Cole Haywood: All I'm saying is, a REAL man would have challenged Aries to a title match at a later date, not raced in after the Champion had already fought a difficult match and made off with the Championship like some self-styled Robin Hood! Since day one in AXW, David Slayton has been telling us that he's "different". That he's not the David Blazenwing of old who used to stab all of his allies in the back. And yet, last week on The Alternative? That was very much a classic David Blazenwing move. Mike Vincent: It earned him the AXW Championship, Cole. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I don't think Slayton will be losing much sleep over how he won the title. Cole Haywood: Of course not. Because he's a joke. In the ring, "The Phoenix" dies down and Slayton adjusts the title on his shoulder, still grinning, as a ringside tech hands him a live mic. David Slayton: HOW THE HELL ARE YA, AXW!? The crowd pops loudly. David Slayton: Don't worry, I won't be out here long. If there's one thing I hate, it's when guys come out here and spend half an hour whining into the mic. After all, you guys JUST got done with Duncan Donuts as your Champ. Why relive that hell? The crowd laughs as Slayton smirks. Cole Haywood: Oh, brother. Mike Vincent: Duncan Donuts... ha ha. David Slayton: With my victory last week on The Alternative, I officially became an eight-time World Champion. But, not all of those victories are proud ones. Sure, there are the World Titles I won in places like Elite Superstar Wrestling, True Glory Wrestling, or even... *shudders* the Juggalo Wrestling Federation. Look, I was young, the money was... supposedly coming someday. Still waiting on that check, actually. He shakes his head, chuckling. David Slayton: The last World Championship I won was the TGW one, actually, and that was back in 2009. For those of you what aren't good with the maths, that was six years ago. I won a few titles between then and now - Tag Team belts with Gabe Shelley in eWo, the Intercontinental Title in PWA - but I only got close to two World Championships in that entire timeframe, and I lost the only opportunity that I got at it. Mike Vincent: Slayton, of course, referring to his 2012 loss to Micah Castille for the eWo World Title and his loss in the Fatal Four Way at the first AXW Supershow. David Slayton: Honestly, after eWo closed and my relationship with PWA fell through, I pretty much assumed that my in-ring career was just about up. I certainly didn't expect that I would be competing for any more World Championships. I had even accepted forever being a seven-time World Champ. I mean, hell, that's hardly a bad number. Most guys don't even make it to one, and I got SEVEN. Who the hell am I to complain? Cole Haywood: And yet you're still here, wasting our time. Mike Vincent: Cole, please. David Slayton: It was my close, personal friend Katie James, aka Starla Gardevoir, that first contacted me about joining what was then the Excelsior Wrestling Society. She had gotten hired on by Las Vegas Fury at the time, and let me know that this little place called AXW was re-opening, and they were looking for top-tier talent. I figured "sure, why not, might be a fun little place to put a nightcap on my career" and got in contact with the head honcho. And man, that reaction I got the first night I stepped out on the stage to face Crest Silver on an untelevised show? It totally blew me away, you guys. AXW management took notice too, I'd like to think. And that's all on you guys. I sure as hell wouldn't be standing here right now as AXW Champion if it wasn't for each and every one of you making me feel like I belong. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you all. A "you deserve it" chant kicks up amongst the AXW crowd. David Slayton: Look, I could keep going, but I promised I wouldn't be all long-winded and junk and I know you all are ready to see some kickass wrestling, so I'll get to the point I'm trying to make. I've won a lot of Championships during my thirteen years as a professional wrestler. But, none of them compare to being the AXW Champion, just like nothing compares to being an AXW competitor. When I do finally retire and they ask me where my home is, I'm not going to say ESW, TGW, PWA, eWo or hell, even BWF. Until the day I die, David Slayton lives and breathes Alternative Xperience Wrestling. And you can take that... The crowd finishes Slayton's catchphrase, "...TO THE BANK!", for him. David tosses the mic to the ringside tech as "The Phoenix" kicks up again. He then rolls out of the ring, slinging the title over his other shoulder as he makes his way back up the ramp, stopping to high five a few more younger fans near the ramp. Mike Vincent: What a way to kick off AXW's Day of the Dead celebration! Cole Haywood: You mean because the guy starting off the show is old enough to be dead? Mike Vincent: He's 35, Cole. Cole Haywood: Which in wrestling years is practically ancient. Go home, Favre! Leave the wrestling to the REAL talent! Mike Vincent: You DO know Duncan Aries is three years older than David, right? Cole Haywood: ......we've got a hell of a show for you all tonight, don't go anywhere! The action starts right now! Mike Vincent: That's what I thought. |

Salvatore Pellegrino: Ladies and gentlemen, this is your Main Event! It is a BWF vs. AXW Match scheduled for one fall! "Still Counting" by Volbeat starts to play as the camera pans from the crowd to the jumbotron, showing a bit of the entrance video, before shifting to the stage where Luke Mathews emerges from the back. Clad in a "Mr. No F***s Given" Shirt, he raises his arms with his pointer fingers extended, before making his way down the ramp. Salvatore Pellegrino: Introducing first, representing the BWF, from West Palm Beach, Florida, weighing in at 239 pounds, the Founder and CEO of AXW, LUKE MATHEWS! He walks up the ring steps, wipes his boots on the apron, before entering the ring. He stands in the middle of the ring, once again with his arms raised and pointer fingers extended. He backs to his corner, taking his shirt off and tossing it behind him, not caring if it makes it to the crowd or just lands on the floor. 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! Salvatore Pellegrino: And his opponent, representing AXW, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, weighing in at 245 pounds, he is the AXW Champion, and the Founder of BWF, 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. BWF vs. AXW vs. | TALE OF THE TAPE |

The two look like they're about to lock up, when David gets behind Luke and takes him to the mat three times with unreleased consecutive German Suplexes, landing in a bridged pin the third time. Luke kicks out, and as David goes for a clothesline, Luke ducks it and delivers three suplexes of his own of the Northern Lights variety. Luke hits a superkick to David, not quite hitting him flush as it hits David in the chest area. David stumbles back into the ropes and gets clotheslined to the floor by Luke. Luke runs the opposite ropes for momentum as he dives onto David with a No-Handed Over The Top Rope Suicide Dive. Luke then climbs to the apron, then to the top turnbuckle, before diving back down onto David with a moonsault. Luke rolls David into the ring and climbs back to the top turnbuckle, coming down onto David with a Shooting Star Press, wowing the fans who may have missed the early part of his career when he had a mostly high flying offense. After an unsuccessful two count, Luke brings David to his feet and whips him to the ropes. On the rebound, David takes Luke down with a Thesz Press and delivers some mounted punches. David brings Luke back to his feet and connects with a Double Underhook Backbreaker. After a two count, both get to their feet with David kicking Luke in the gut and planting him with a sit-out Facebuster. David tries to lock in the Firehawk Lock (Crippler Crossface), but he doesn't get all of it as Luke manages to get to the ropes. Luke uses the ropes to get to his feet and gets hit with a Full Effect (Sweet Chin Music) from out of nowhere! David goes for the cover as the crowd counts along.
ONE!
TWO!
TH-OOOOHHH!
Luke got his foot on the rope. David drops Luke to the mat with a Samoan Drop, then climbs to the top rope. Luke gets back to his feet and meets him up there, and the two trade punches. Luke tries for a superplex but David just shoves him back down to the mat. David jumps off with From the Ashes (Frog Splash), but Luke gets his knees up! Luke gets up and hits a Zigzag to David, getting a two count. Luke runs the ropes before clobbering David with a Tower of Power (Clothesline From Hell). Luke decided it's time to end it as he lifts David onto his shoulders, but David slips free and connects with a neckbreaker! David hops from foot to foot as he looks to hit another Full Effect, but Luke catches his foot, throws it to the side and hits David with a spinning heel kick. Luke watches as David gets to his feet before running the ropes again and nailing David with the NFG (No Fucks Given) (Yakuza Kick to the BACK of the head)! Luke covers as Jessie McCormick and the crowd count along.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE-OOOOHHHH!
The crowd is going absolutely insane as David kicks out. Luke Mathews is shocked. Luke Mathews doesn't waste too much time though as he lifts David back onto his shoulders looking for The End (Argentine Neckbreaker) again, but again David slips free and nails Luke with the Full Effect once again! The crowd again counts along to Jessie's count.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner, the AXW Champion, DAVID SLAYTON!
Mike Vincent: What a match between the founding fathers of BWF and AXW. Salvatore Pellegrino: Ladies and gentlemen, this is your Main Event! It is a Triple Threat Contest set for one fall, and is for the AXW Championship! "Remedy" by Seether blasts out throughout the arena as ‘The Titan’ Crash Jackson walks out to the top of the ramp. He bounces from foot to foot psyching himself up for his match. He tenses his body up and then throws his arms out to either side and lets out a mighty roar while a small pyrotechnics display goes on right behind him. He starts making his way down to the ring slapping hands with some of the fans on his way. Crash slides in under the bottom ropes to enter the ring. He goes over to a turnbuckle and climbs to the second rope. He beats on his chest with a clenched fist and then throws the same fist up into the air, oozing with pure intensity as he yells out to the crowd. Crash jumps down from there and readies himself in his corner to start the match. An ice blue hue descends on the stage, “Playing The Saint” by Digital Summer blaring as a spade of the same color is shown on the ramp, Aries emerging with his back to us, clad in a denim jacket with the same spade on fire printed on the back, his arms crossed. Pyros explode on either side as Aries then spins around, his arms still crossed, head cocked in a smug grin. Aries then takes a confident stride towards the ring, eyes not off the ring from under his ice blue tinted Aviator shades. Aries climbs the steps and walks the apron, looking out onto the crowd before tossing his shades to a lucky fan, entering the ring, pumped up, tossing off his jacket and delivering some shadow punches and kicks as his music fades. PUT ON YOUR WAR PAINT! The lights in the arena all cut to black and the Tron comes to life, pulsating with a green light as a quiet beat gets louder with every flash. It gets faster and faster, and louder with each pulse, until the pulsating light explodes into the words "Blazenwing Rises" and “The Phoenix” by Fall Out Boy blares across the arena sound system. You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down Strike a match and I'll burn you to the ground We are the jack-o-lanterns in July Setting fire to the sky He-here comes this rising tide So come on PUT ON YOUR WAR PAINT! The stage fills with smoke and the crowd rises to their feet, cheering loudly, as the smoke clears on the stage and a man in a dark green trenchcoat stands, head down, facing the Tron. He raises his hands and snaps his fingers, causing four loud bursts of pyro to ignite, two on each side of him, before spinning around Y2J style to reveal David Slayton! Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope-to-dies Silver clouds with grey linings So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked One maniac at a time we will take it back You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start So dance alone to the beat of your heart His sunglasses shining with the glare from the arena lights, David looks to the left, then to the right, nodding towards the crowd before walking down the ramp. After stopping to slap hands with a few fans, David moves towards the ring steps and hops up and down a few times in front of them before quickly racing up the steps to the apron side facing the stage. He stops and pulls his sunglasses off, then tosses them behind his head into the crowd before leaning down and stepping through the ropes to enter the ring. Hey young blood Doesn't it feel like our time is running out? I'm gonna change you like a remix Then I'll raise you like a phoenix You're wearing our vintage misery No, I think it looked a little better on me I'm gonna change you like a remix Then I'll raise you like a phoenix David walks across the ring and leaps up onto the second rope in the corner nearest the timekeeper, then pulls off his green trenchcoat and tosses it towards the timekeeper. David smirks and points to the fans, then slaps his chest a few times and points up towards the sky, closing his eyes and saying a short prayer. David leaps down from the corner and immediately turns to sit down in the same corner, ala Raven. David then rests his head on the second turnbuckle pad as his theme fades and the crowd continues cheering. Salvatore Pellegrino: Introducing the challengers, first, from Miami, Florida, weighing in at 258 pounds, "The Titan" CRASH JACKSON! Crash raises his fists into the air. Salvatore Pellegrino: From San Diego, California, weighing in at 238 pounds, "The Wild Card" DUNCAN ARIES! Duncan looks on intently at David Slayton. Salvatore Pellegrino: And from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, weighing in at 245 pounds, he is the defending AXW Champion, "The New Hotness" DAVID SLAYTON! David climbs a turnbuckle and raises his championship into the air. AXW CHAMPIONSHIP
TRIPLE THREAT  After the opening bell, the crowd in a frenzy, Slayton and Jackson are already getting tired of the chirping of one Duncan Aries who stands between them, taking turns talking trash to each of them and look for a double team, but Aries slinks away to the outside, pointing to his head with a smirk, saying “Nah, we’re not playing this Luke Mathews gang up on Aries bullshit!” motioning to both men saying “Go ahead, have fun!” Slayton shrugs, catching an off guard Jackson with a series of chops into the corner, before pulling Jackson out into a short arm clothesline. Slayton motions for Jackson to get up and is quickly charged into, getting nailed right in the gut from a shoulderblock from Crash. Aries watches on with a smirk as Slayton is getting backed up, time and time again by Crash who finally feels half a dozen shoulder thrusts to the gut of the champion is enough, as Slayton slumps into the corner. Jackson runs in for a solid knee to the face of the champ. Jackson pulls Slayton out of the corner and goes for a quick pin, getting a two count. Jackson looks over at Aries, shaking his head in disbelief. He hoists Slayton up for a running powerslam, but the champ slides out behind Crash and hits a reverse DDT. Before Slayton can even take a step further, he nearly has his head kicked off from a running yakuza kick from Duncan Aries! Aries does a cocky jog, throwing shadow punches as some fans in the crowd actually start chanting “DOWN GOES SLAYTON!” as Aries takes a mocking bow. Surveying the scene, Aries delivers some mounted punches to Slayton before yanking him to his feet by his hair and delivering a combo of European uppercuts followed up by stiff martial arts kicks that Slayton tries to block but to no avail. Aries turns to back up for a final blow of sorts when he’s belly to back suplexed halfway across the ring by Crash Jackson. Fired up, Jackson grabs Slayton from the corner and repeats the same move done to Aries. Jackson then takes turns, first going for a pin on the champion, then to Aries, getting a two count either time, frustrating the former AXW Champion. Jackson wipes his hair from his eyes and delivers a thrust spinebuster to the champion. He readies himself to duplicate the move to Aries, but the wily vet delivers some swift kicks to the stomach, then a knee to the head of Crash, breaking the move then hitting a nice roundhouse kick, clocking Crash, sending him to the mat. Aries scrambles for a cover, getting only a two count. Turning his attention to Slayton, who is trying to get to his feet, Aries begins slapping the champion on the back of the head, just royally pissing Slayton off who fires off some jabs to Aries, which turns into the two slugging it out, neither getting a clear advantage, until an errant swing from Aries, turns into Slayton ducking and beginning a trifecta of German suplexes. Before he can go for a pin, however, Crash nails a big boot, taking Slayton out of the equation! Crash goes for a cover on Aries, as the former champion just gets the right shoulder up! Jackson gives the cut throat signal before Aries slowly turns and runs right into a BLIND RAGE spear from Jackson, nearly taking the smarmy leader of the Alliance Of Truth right out of his boots! Jackson goes for the cover, but just as referee Matt Baker is about to hit the mat a 3rd time, the pin is broken up by David Slayton! Slayton is like a man possessed as he once again lights up Crash with some knife edge chops. Crash tries for a clothesline, but Slayton ducks, connecting with a boot to the gut and an implant DDT. Slayton, determined, steadies himself for what looks to be The Full Effect (Sweet Chin Music) stomping his foot on the mat. As the crowd comes alive, Slayton looking at both Crash and Aries, locking in on Aries, the crowd (mostly) boos as Slayton’s leg is yanked at from outside the ring by none other than Jonathan Fhenix! Slayton and Fhenix look to brawl on the apron, when Luke Mathews emerges on the ramp, walking down with security in tow, as Mathews orders the security to remove Fhenix, which gets a mixed reaction from the crowd. Fhenix is pissed, Aries even more so, stomping out of the ring and declaring as loud as he can that “In a match like this, it’s legal!” to no avail. The crowd, at least those clad in “DOWN GOES MATHEWS” t-shirts do get to cheer as Fhenix lets loose the most disrespectful spit to the face of the AXW CEO before being dragged to the back by security, Luke Mathews close behind. Aries is livid, so much so that he doesn’t notice The Full Effect connecting with Jackson, getting the pin and the victory before he can return to the ring! Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner, and STILL AXW Champion, DAVID SLAYTON!! Slayton is already on the ramp, celebrating his victory to a mixed reaction with referee Matt Baker, who raises his hand in victory. Jen Brunelli: Ladies and gentlemen, this is your Main Event! The Alliance of Truth and the remainder of the Steve Corman Guys will be banned from ringside! 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. Jen holds open the ropes as Corman enters the ring. Corman smirks and again repeats the High Rollers hand gesture by the ropes. PUT ON YOUR WAR PAINT! The lights in the arena all cut to black and the Tron comes to life, pulsating with a green light as a quiet beat gets louder with every flash. It gets faster and faster, and louder with each pulse, until the pulsating light explodes into the words "Blazenwing Rises" and “The Phoenix” by Fall Out Boy blares across the arena sound system. You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down Strike a match and I'll burn you to the ground We are the jack-o-lanterns in July Setting fire to the sky He-here comes this rising tide So come on PUT ON YOUR WAR PAINT! The stage fills with smoke and the crowd rises to their feet, cheering loudly, as the smoke clears on the stage and a man in a dark green trenchcoat stands, head down, facing the Tron. He raises his hands and snaps his fingers, causing four loud bursts of pyro to ignite, two on each side of him, before spinning around Y2J style to reveal David Slayton! Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope-to-dies Silver clouds with grey linings So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked One maniac at a time we will take it back You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start So dance alone to the beat of your heart His sunglasses shining with the glare from the arena lights, David looks to the left, then to the right, nodding towards the crowd before walking down the ramp. After stopping to slap hands with a few fans, David moves towards the ring steps and hops up and down a few times in front of them before quickly racing up the steps to the apron side facing the stage. He stops and pulls his sunglasses off, then tosses them behind his head into the crowd before leaning down and stepping through the ropes to enter the ring. Hey young blood Doesn't it feel like our time is running out? I'm gonna change you like a remix Then I'll raise you like a phoenix You're wearing our vintage misery No, I think it looked a little better on me I'm gonna change you like a remix Then I'll raise you like a phoenix David walks across the ring and leaps up onto the second rope in the corner nearest the timekeeper, then pulls off his green trenchcoat and tosses it towards the timekeeper. David smirks and points to the fans, then slaps his chest a few times and points up towards the sky, closing his eyes and saying a short prayer. David leaps down from the corner and immediately turns to sit down in the same corner, ala Raven. David then rests his head on the second turnbuckle pad as his theme fades and the crowd continues cheering. Jen Brunelli: This contest is set for one fall, and is for the AXW Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 275 pounds, "The Icon" STEVE CORMAN! Steve just simply ghost belts. Jen Brunelli: And his opponent, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, weighing in at 245 pounds, he is the defending AXW Champion, "The New Hotness" DAVID SLAYTON! David pulls himself up from the corner and raises his AXW Championship into the air. AXW CHAMPIONSHIP vs.  | TALE OF THE TAPE |

Mike Vincent: A hard fought battle between both men.
vs.  AXW ChampionshipThis is Ethan's last chance with everyone on the roster banned from ringside. The match is about as back and forth as you can get. Some of Ethan's big moves hit were Delayed Vertical Suplex, Straightjacket Backbreaker, Corkscrew Plancha, Gutwrench Piledriver, Giant Swing. Some of David's big moves were Double Underhook Backbreaker, Sit-Out Facebuster, Death Valley Driver, Triple Suplex. The match goes for about fifteen minutes, with Ethan tapping out to the Firehawk Lock. David holds onto his championship and exits before anyone can try to jump him, as he is targeted by a lot of people. We head to the ring, where AXW Champion David Slayton is already standing by. Fall Out Boy's "The Phoenix" dies down as Slayton grips the mic, adjusting the belt on his shoulder. David Slayton: I've been AXW Champion for a solid while now. I couldn't tell you the exact amount of days, because frankly, the length of the reign isn't nearly as important as the way in which the reign is projected through hard-fought title defenses and the worthiness of the man or woman holding the title. Though, I'm to understand records have been broken. A pause. David Slayton: That being said, there are those among the AXW locker room who, even after everything I've been through, would paint my reign as a fluke. Perhaps I'm simply the longest reigning transitional champion in the history of this business. He chuckles. David Slayton: I've been wrestling since 2002. Fourteen years this coming September. And since the first day I walked into a ring as Blazenwing, the masked superhero, there has been one word that has hounded me. It followed me throughout AJWF, PWA, Victory Wrestling, even the BWF. Slayton closes his eyes for a moment. David Slayton: Undeserving. His eyes open, pained. David Slayton: I won't sit here and pretend that I've always done things the right way. For the longest time, I was the number one guy you absolutely knew you'd never be able to trust in this business. But when I signed with AXW, I made a promise to myself, to all of you, and even to all the guys and gals in the back that I wouldn't step foot inside an AXW ring unless I finally manned up. Did things the right way. And dammit, say what you will about my career up to this point, but I have done nothing but the right thing in AXW, time and time again. He exhales slowly, calming himself down. David Slayton: When everybody was absolutely certain I was going to turn on Bobo, the thought never once crossed my mind. I loved that dude like a brother. Hell, even after the way he betrayed me, if he ever called for anything, I'd be on the next flight out because that's the man I am. I'm not a backstabber or a betrayer anymore. And I'm sure as hell not fixing fights in AXW just so I can be the goddamned World Champion. Slayton's nostrils flare. David Slayton: I have BUSTED MY ASS to make it to this position. I am NOT the AXW Champion because I have a secret backdoor deal with Luke Mathews or anybody else. I can understand people telling me I didn't deserve my spot back in the AJWF days when I became World Champ simply because Darqness didn't show up to defend her title. I can understand hearing it when I handed myself the BWF World Title a month after we opened because Bam walked out of the company an hour before Havok went on the air, I had a promoted World Title Match and the only individual I could trust to actually show up to that defense was me. A pause. David Slayton: I can and will take full responsibility for all the times I did take shortcuts to look better than I really was, years ago. But to claim that I don't deserve this title now, after everything I've accomplished? I beat Aries. I beat Corman. I beat Jackson. I beat Cutler. You guys in the back want to whine and bitch about me being AXW Champion? You all had MONTHS of opportunities to beat me for the Xperience Title before I was able to cash it in on Aries. Not a single damn one of you got the job done. I've defended this AXW Championship numerous times. Not a single damn one of you has been able to get the job done there, either. Slayton gently taps the belt on his shoulder. David Slayton: Y'know, if Luke was out here paying off referees, causing distractions, sending out people to help me? Maybe your conspiracy theories would hold some weight. But I'm pinning you guys. Tapping you out. 100% legitimately. I am getting sick and goddamned tired of listening to you jerkoffs run your mouths, claiming there's some grand conspiracy to keep me at the top of AXW. Here's a newsflash for you - MAYBE YOU'RE NOT AS GOOD AS YOU THINK YOU ARE. If I pin your shoulders to the mat? If I make you tap out? You have officially lost the right to complain about me being AXW Champion; because you had the chance to end my reign... and you failed. At this point, I'm pretty sure Danny Hall is closer to an AXW Championship Match than Steve, Duncan or Ethan are, for starters. Or maybe - Dave is cut off as "Endless Possibility" hits. Slayton flashes a smile, the first of the night, as Starla Gardevoir walks out onto the stage, beaming. She skips down to the ring, and then slides in, calling for a mic as the music fades. David Slayton: Katie. Starla Gardevoir: Dave! Heeeeeey! Sorry, I don't mean to crash your "I'm totes better than all y'all" party, but I just HAD to come out here before you said something you ended up wanting to take back later. Slayton raises an eyebrow. David Slayton: And what, my rose-hued friend, might that be? Starla Gardevoir: Weeeeeellll I don't know for SURE, but it definitely sounded to me like you were about to namedrop a certain Stutterfly. That Stutterfly being me. I'm Stutterfly. She waves. David Slayton: As a matter of fact, I was about to mention you, Katie. Starla Gardevoir: Starla. David Slayton: Really? Starla Gardevoir: Just go with it, man! You're risking merch sales here. MERRRRRCH SALES. David Slayton: ...right. ANYWAY. A short while back, Corman suggested that a match between us for this title was a certainty. That suggestion came to fruition when you cashed in the Xperience Title on Before the Bell. That match is tonight. He smirks. Starla Gardevoir: What? David Slayton: I have to know. Why'd you go the route you did? Starla Gardevoir: What do you mean? David Slayton: When I cashed in my Xperience Title, it was on a prone Duncan Aries. Asshat had it coming, sure, but the overarching point is, I picked the most opportune moment to cash in and capitalized. You could have easily done the same, but instead, you called your shot ahead of time. Gave me time to prepare. You're getting me tonight, and you're getting me at 100%, I promise you. Why throw away your shot? She looks down, thinking to herself. When she looks back up at David, her face is etched with determination. Starla Gardevoir: Less than two years into her career, my older sister Sarah became BWF World Champion. Our younger sister, Alison, debuted only three and a half years ago, but she was pegged as a future World Champion the moment she stepped foot in a ring. But me? A pause. Starla Gardevoir: This past December marked the ten-year anniversary of my very first match. I've won countless accolades and matches during my career, but there's one thing I've never, ever been... and that is World Champion. And Dave... it's all I've ever wanted from day number one. You know that. That passion. That need that drives you. The agony when you nearly get there again and again, only to fail when your fingertips are grazing the brass ring. Slayton nods as Starla continues. Starla Gardevoir: I've had to sit back as all of my friends and family, year after year, win the big one while I watch from the sidelines. You. Emily. My husband Gabe. Sarah. I'm sick and tired of being the only James sister people don't expect greatness out of. I have dreams too. Why can't mine come true? A pause. Starla Gardevoir: Why not tonight? Slayton smirks again. David Slayton: That's all well and fine, but you didn't answer my question. If that all is the case, why on Earth would you not wait to cash in until you had the best possible chance to win? Starla Gardevoir: Because... Starla takes a few steps, coming right up to David's chest. She looks up, her eyes locking with his. Starla Gardevoir: ... when I win the AXW Championship tonight and finally make my dreams come true, I need to know that I earned it. When I become World Champion, I'm doing it the right way. No excuses. No regrets. The crowd in attendance "oohs" when Starla says "when". David Slayton: Fair enough. Corman joked that our match wouldn't be a "money match", but you know what? He's dead wrong. Katie - sorry, Starla, as far as I'm concerned, you may be a woman, but you're the only contender in that entire locker room who might actually have a set. Unlike the rest of those keyboard crusaders tapping away on their Twitters and their MySpaces, you actually win matches and back up what you say. You earned the right to face me with your stellar Xperience Title reign, and I'm actually glad you're cashing in on me. Lord knows this might actually be the first challenging match of my reign. Dave and Starla both smile. David Slayton: And, Star? If I AM going to lose this title... I'll be honored to lose it to you. Just don't hold your breath, kiddo. As for the rest of you who have faced me and lost? Think real hard about who's REALLY undeserving. 'Cause I promise you, it ain't me... and it ain't her. Make sure all eyeballs are on the main event tonight, 'cause guys like Corman and Aries are about to find out what a real main event looks like. A mischievous smirk. David Slayton: And you all can take THAT... to the bank. "The Phoenix" kicks up again as Slayton drops the mic and exits the ring, leaving Starla, who is amped up and ready to go for tonight's main event. Salvatore Pellegrino: Ladies and gentlemen, this opening Triple Threat contest is scheduled for one fall, and is to determine the Number One Contender for the AXW Championship!

He stops and pulls his sunglasses off, then tosses them behind his head into the crowd before leaning down and stepping through the ropes to enter the ring. Hey young blood Doesn't it feel like our time is running out? I'm gonna change you like a remix Then I'll raise you like a phoenix You're wearing our vintage misery No, I think it looked a little better on me I'm gonna change you like a remix Then I'll raise you like a phoenix David walks across the ring and leaps up onto the second rope in the corner nearest the timekeeper, then pulls off his green trenchcoat and tosses it towards the timekeeper. David smirks and points to the fans, then slaps his chest a few times and points up towards the sky, closing his eyes and saying a short prayer. David leaps down from the corner and immediately turns to sit down in the same corner, ala Raven. David then rests his head on the second turnbuckle pad as his theme fades and the crowd continues cheering. begins to play.

Salvatore Pellegrino: Ladies and gentlemen... at this time, please welcome our special guest for this evening... the host of E-Phoend TV... "The Emerald Phoenix" EMILY CORLEN!  The lights in the arena come up and we see former Five-Time World Champion Emily Corlen standing in the ring, surrounded by her E-Phoend TV talk segment set. The AXW crowd reacts favorably for the unannounced appearance of the BWF-contracted competitor as her theme music, "The Look" by Roxette, dies down. Emily Corlen: HELLO, ALTERNATIVE XPERIENCE WRESTLING!!! HOW THE HELL ARE YA!? The crowd pops. Emily Corlen: Y'know, before I get to E.P.T. tonight, can I just say how legit excited I am to be here? I've never had the opportunity to compete inside an AXW ring before, and... I mean, I'm not competing tonight either, but at least I'm HERE! And that's something! And hey, AXW management, I'd love to come over here for a show or two and show your guys what a real woman can do between these ropes. She grins as she flexes her buff bicep. Emily Corlen: But then, that brings me to my guests tonight. See, there's ALREADY a woman here in AXW who has been breaking barriers left and right... your AXW Champion, and one of my best friends in the entire world, "Stutterfly" Starla Gardevoir. A pop for the Starla namedrop. Emily Corlen: On May 7 at AXW Horizon, Starla will be defending that Championship against the man she defeated for it - my ex-brother in law, and the man who trained me to become a professional wrestler, the man they call Blazenwing, David Slayton. Another pop for the namedrop. Emily Corlen: So, I'm about as partial a party as they could get for this showdown, because not only do I consider both of these individuals family, but I've also kicked both of their asses inside the 20 by 20. Actually, fun fact: during my record-breaking 200 day run as TGW World Champion, I successfully defended my title against both David AND Starla at PWA Genesis. Along with like, eighteen other people. It was kind of a mess, to be honest. And then I - Emily is interrupted as "Endless Possibility" by Jaret Reddick begins playing over the sound system and the crowd erupts. Starla Gardevoir makes her way out from behind the curtain, hoisting her AXW Championship high in the air. She winks at the fans, slings the title over her shoulder, and skips down to the ring, high fiving a few crowd members as she goes. She slides into the ring, and then holds her belt in the air to another pop before motioning for a mic. A ringside tech tosses her a mic as the music fades and she tosses the title over her shoulder again. Starla Gardevoir: Sorry, Em. I'm sure you would have gotten to Dave and I... y'know, eventually. But did you possibly forget that you're here to promote us, not yourself? Emily shrugs and grins. Emily Corlen: I just think it's very important to remind the fans at home that I'm basically better than both of you. The crowd "oohs" as Starla smirks, shaking her head. Starla Gardevoir: Ah ha. Very cute. Emily Corlen: I'm kidding, of course! I'm really proud of what you've been able to accomplish here in AXW, Katie. And I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Starla Gardevoir: I sort of figured that when you used my birth name. Both women smirk and wink at one another. Starla Gardevoir: So, then. On May 7th, I - Starla is cut off as "The Phoenix" by Fall Out Boy starts playing and David Slayton bounds onto the stage. He hits a few poses before racing down to the ring and sliding inside. The music cuts out as he calls for his own mic. David Slayton: Did you two forget about me? Emily Corlen: Jesus, does nobody in AXW wait for their dang cues? Starla Gardevoir: Believe me, Dave, I haven't forgotten about you. As I was just about to say, on May 7th, I defend this AXW Championship against the #1 Contender... you. Emily Corlen: Guys, I already covered that before you came out here. Both Starla and Dave ignore Emily. Starla Gardevoir: Dave. The last time you and I had a little heart to heart in the ring like this, I beat you 1, 2, 3 in the middle of this ring to become the AXW Champion. When everyone said I was a fluke, I walked into the Elimination Chamber and proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am everything I say that I am. A fighter. A warrior. A survivor. A Champion. A pause. Starla Gardevoir: So here we are again, face to face, another moment frozen in time before we clash for this AXW Championship. And I'm going to tell you the same thing today that I told you back on February 20. "When I become World Champion, I'm doing it the right way. No excuses. No regrets." That was never a one-night-only guarantee. It was a promise that I wouldn't tarnish this Championship or my reign by cheating. And after our last few matches, Dave, I think you've learned that I don't need to. A smirk from Slayton. David Slayton: Kiddo, I never doubted that you had it in you. The only person who has ever stood in the way of your own success is yourself. I meant what I said two months ago as well... that if anybody was going to beat me for that Championship, I'm legitimately glad it was you. Dave places a hand on Starla's shoulder. David Slayton: But. Don't think for one second that this means that I'm just going to roll over and die come Horizon. I busted my ass to beat Clash and Corman two weeks ago to earn this opportunity. And if there's one thing we both know all too well, it's that title opportunities don't come around all that often. At Horizon, you're looking to prove that you're not a fluke, but kid, you already did that. Losing to me isn't going to make you a fluke... it's going to make you the same as everybody else - because lightning doesn't strike twice when you're facing David Slayton. Starla's eyebrows rise. Starla Gardevoir: Dave, thanks for the vote of confidence, but in case you forgot, lightning DID strike twice, because I'm pretty sure you're not the one who walked out of the Chamber with the gold. She closes the gap between herself and Slayton, and then holds the title in the air between them. Starla Gardevoir: You're hoping to win your ninth World Championship on May 7th, and that's great for you, but I'm looking to hold onto my first. And say what you will, but of the two of us, the only one who has ever lost a World Title... is you. The crowd "oohs" again as both Dave and Starla seem to be getting fired up. David Slayton: With all due respect, champ... I'm gonna kick your ass at Horizon... and take back what's mine. Starla Gardevoir: I'd like to see you try, New Hotness. Slayton rolls his hand into a fist and smacks it against his hand. David Slayton: Ohhhh... the old me would've superkicked your head clean off by now. You're lucky I've gotten better at controlling myself. A mischievous smirk from the Champion. Starla Gardevoir: ...well, they do say dogs temper with age. David Slayton: I suppose a bitch would know all about dogs! Starla's eyes widen, Emily's jaw drops and before anybody can react, Starla's hand flies up and slaps Slayton clean across the face with a CRACK that resounds through the arena. The crowd "oohs" again - but their reaction is even more shocked a moment later when Slayton responds by slapping Starla back! Another loud CRACK echoes through the arena as both Dave and Starla come nose to nose, talking inaudibly. Emily Corlen: Hey, guys, easy! What about doing things the right way? What about honor? Finally, a grin stretches across the face of both Champion and challenger; both Slayton and Starla take a step back. Both competitors exit the ring, neither one breaking eye contact with the other. Starla heads back up the ramp while Slayton hops the barricade and walks into the crowd. Meanwhile, Emily is still standing by in the ring, looking somewhat perplexed. Emily Corlen: Sweet Baby Jesus... and I thought raising three babies at home was chaotic. She shakes her head as the crowd laughs. Emily Corlen: Well, those two are certainly fired up, that's for damn sure. And at AXW Horizon on May 7th, we're all going to see what happens when two irresistible forces collide with each other. Gardevoir/Slayton II, AXW Championship on the line, only on the BWF Network! Don't you dare miss it! I know I sure as hell won't! Emily smiles as "The Look" by Roxette starts playing, the E-Phoend TV logo flashes on-screen again, and the camera fades to commercial. Jen Brunelli: Ladies and gentlemen, this is your Main Event! It is a Tag Team contest set for one fall! The lights in the arena go out, one by one, until the entire arena is blanketed in complete darkness. A few seconds pass of this, the crowd cheering loudly, eagerly awaiting whatever is going to come next. The JumboTron comes to life with a neon pink butterfly, slowly flapping its wings against darkness. With every flap of its wings, the arena lights pulse. The flapping gets faster and faster, until finally, the butterfly explodes into glitter. When it does, a stage-wide blast of pink and purple pyro explodes across the stage and as the screen fills with the words "Stutterfly" Starla Gardevoir, "Endless Possibility" by Jaret Reddick begins playing over the sound system! This is my escape I'm running through this world And I'm not looking back The crowd explodes in a flurry of cheers as Starla Gardevoir struts onto the stage and points to the crowd, grinning. She moves to each side of the stage, posing for the fans, then comes back to the center of the stage before dropping to one knee and posing as a shower of pink pyro begins falling behind her! Jen Brunelli: Introducing first, from Panama City, Florida, she is the AXW Champion, "Stutterfly" STARLA GARDEVOIR! 'Cause I know I can go Where no one's ever gone And I'm not looking back Starla stands up, still grinning from ear to ear, and then quickly bounds down the ramp, slapping fan's hands along the way. Towards the bottom of the ramp, she stops and turns back to the stage, then poses with her back to the ring. Starla turns back and laughs, then makes her way around ringside, high-fiving fans as she goes. But how will I know when I get there? And how will I know when to leave? We've all got to start from somewhere It's like that for me The possibilities are never ending After a quick trip around the ring, Starla runs towards the ring apron facing the stage and leaps up, turning in midair and sliding from one side of the apron to the other on one knee. Starla stands up and steps over the second rope, then leans in slowly, showcasing her butt for the cheering male fans before entering the ring completely. I see it, I see it And now it's all within my reach Endless possibility I see it, I see it now It's always been inside of me And now I feel so free Endless possibility Starla then heads up to the top of the nearest turnbuckle and poses once more. With the fans still cheering, Starla does a backflip off the top rope and lands on her feet, then walks over to the corner across the ring and leans against it, rolling her head back and forth as the music fades. 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: And her partner, from 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. "Snake Charmer" hits as a strobe light show begins. A little bit of smoke pours over the stage. A little after 30 seconds, when the snare roll comes in, is when Caitlin Shay emerges from the back. She stops on the stage, and looks around the crowd, sneering, unhappy about having to be in Vancouver. Jen Brunelli: And their opponents, first, from Pinecrest, Florida, she is a Steve Corman Girl, CAITLIN SHAY! She makes her way down to the ring, where she climbs onto the apron. She takes a moment to talk down to the crowd before entering the ring. She walks to the opposite ropes, with her arms spread, and a smile on her face as if to say, "I'm better than you." The music fades out as we await for the match to start. 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. Jen Brunelli: And her partner, from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 275 pounds, "The Icon" STEVE CORMAN! 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. Corman enters the ring. Corman smirks and again repeats the High Rollers hand gesture by the ropes.  vs.  The ladies start the match. They lock up, and with only a one pound difference, neither really budge. Caitlin ends up getting Starla in a side headlock. Starla responds by lifting Caitlin up and connecting with a Reverse Atomic Drop. Caitlin clutches at her lower back before being slammed to the mat with a Dragon Suplex, kicking out of the bridged pin at two. Starla looks for a clothesline which Caitlin ducks, Caitlin now delivering a suplex of her own: the Shayplex (Half Dragon Half Tiger Suplex). Caitlin follows up with a Fisherman Suplex, then ascends to the top turnbuckle, and dives off with a crossbody, but is met by a dropkick from Starla in mid-air. Starla lifts Caitlin for a Lifting DDT. Starla looks to continue her attack but Caitlin squirms away and gets the tag to Steve Corman. Steve enters the ring and suggests that Starla should tag in David. Starla instead hits Steve with a forearm. Steve shoves Starla away, with David reaching down to tag himself in. Starla is unhappy as she wants to fight Steve but Senior Official Matt Baker talks her out to the apron. Steve and David look as if they're gonna trade fists but Steve ends up kneeing David in the gut. Steve grabs David's head and smashes it off his knee with a Coconut Smash. Steve follows up with a Double Handed Headbutt, then doubles David over and runs the ropes, connecting with a Float over DDT. Steve plants David with a Snapmare Driver. Caitlin wants back in, and Steve shrugs and tags her in. Caitlin enters the ring via Springboard Headscissors, the whip sending David head first into toe Corman Corner turnbuckles. Caitlin stomps away at David, then tags Steve back in. Steve delivers stomps to David, then tags back out. Caitlin tries to bring David out of the corner, but David hits her with a punch to the gut. David has Caitlin doubled over and is looking to set up a powerbomb, but Caitlin crawls between David's legs and as he turns around, gets nailed by a Pele Kick. David staggers back where Starla tags herself back in. Starla runs right at Caitlin and hits her with a Dropsault. Starla runs the ropes and takes Caitlin down with a Double Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors Takeover. Caitlin rolls out of the ring, where Steve meets up with her. The two decide the match is not worth their time as they make their way to the back. Jen Brunelli: Here are your winners as a result of a count out, DAVID SLAYTON and STARLA GARDEVOIR! Lily Luna: Steve Corman and Caitlin Shay walk out of the match, giving them a loss as they head into Horizon. Chris Pierce: They're not worried about it, Steve has to focus on David Clash while Caitlin has to focus on Android 18. This match simply was not worth their time in their opinion.
Starla receives her AXW Championship while Matt Baker raises both their hands. David ends up standing sideways behind Starla, and when Starla turns to face him, David starts to lift his leg. Starla falls to the mat, backing away, clutching at her title. David holds his index finger and thumb close together. The cameras pick up what he's saying,
David Slayton: This close. I could have pulled the trigger and you would be out. Stay on your toes, Stutterfly. I can take that title away from you...
He snaps his fingers.
David Slayton: ...just like that.
David exits the ring, leaving Starla on her own.
Chris Pierce: David Slayton trying to get in the mind of Starla it seems.
Lily Luna: Tensions riding high between the two as they clash in two weeks at Horizon, which you can watch on the BWF Network!
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.

Starla raises her title into the air, and walks over to David's corner. She looks down at him with a smile, David now pulls himself up, now towering Starla, and looks down at her with a smirk.

Starla wastes no time and delivers a hard to kick right to David's knee. Starla quickly follows up with an enzuigiri. David drops to his knees and Starla runs the ropes, but David pops back up and nearly decapitates Starla with a clothesline. David lifts Starla up for Triple Vertical Suplexes, then with no wasted motion follows that up with Triple German Suplexes. Starla manages to kick out at two, and David grabs the arm Starla shot up and tries to lock in a Fujiwara Armbar, but Starla manages to squirm to the ropes before David can apply it. David runs at Starla, but she pulls the rope down and David goes over and to the floor. Starla runs the ropes for momentum and leaps out of the ring with a Suicide Dive, but David catches her and drives her back-first into the ring post. David rolls Starla back into the ring, and slides in after. David takes Starla down with a Lou Thesz Press, followed by some Mounted Punches. David then tries for the Jumping Elbowdrop, but Starla gets out of the way. As David gets to his feet he's taken right back down with a Corkscrew Neckbreaker from Starla. David starts to get back up, but is taken back down with a DDT. Starla runs the ropes and hits David with a front dropkick, Dave staggering backwards before falling to the mat. David uses the ropes to help himself up, Starla grabs his head before running up the ropes for a Sliced Bread #2. Starla ascends to the top turnbuckle, where she dives off with a Moonsault into a Double Foot Stomp right to the chest of David! Starla goes for a cover which David kicks out of.
Starla heads out to the apron where she looks for a Slingshot Dragonrana, however, David counters by slamming Starla to the mat with a powerbomb. David lifts Starla to her feet, and Starla fights back hitting several strikes to the gut of David. Starla runs to the ropes and on the rebound David hoists Starla up for a big Samoan Drop. Starla kicks out at two, and David stays on the attack by taking Starla down with a series of Short Arm Clotheslines. David plants Starla to the mat with a Sit-Out Facebuster. David lifts Starla onto his shoulders, and looks to drive her to the canvas with a Death Valley Driver, but Starla flips out and lands on her feet. Starla hits a side kick to the gut then runs the ropes. She slides through the legs of David, tripping him in the process. Starla rolls back as she now applies a Boston Crab! David manages to crawl to the bottom rope.
Starla again goes for a running attack but is caught by a surprise forearm. David doubles Starla over and hooks her arms, before delivering a gruesome looking Double Underhook Backbreaker. David pins Starla but she finds a way to get the shoulder up. David now looks for a neckbreaker but Starla gets free of David's grasp. Starla looks for a punch or perhaps clothesline, but David catches her arm and swiftly brings her to the mat, locking in the Firehawk Lock (Crippler Crossface)! Starla is in pure agony, but finally manages to get her foot on the bottom rope. David whips Starla into the corner, and comes in with a big splash. David then sets Starla up on the top turnbuckle, and Starla finds the energy to boot David right in the face! Starla comes off the turnbuckles as she plants David with the 343 Guilty Spark (Tornado DDT)! Starla immediately heads back to the top, and dives off with the R.R.O.D. [Red Ring of Death] (Swanton Bomb)!
One!
Two!
Thre-OOH! David kicks out!
Starla holds up three fingers to Matt Baker who responds with two fingers. David starts to get to his feet and Starla keeps him doubled over, repeatedly and viciously striking David in the face with her knee, telling him to "Stay down!" After a dozen plus knee strikes, David falls to his knees, looking woozy as blood drips from his nose. Starla runs to the ropes and falls to the mat like a sack of bricks after David hits The Full Effect (Sweet Chin Music) from out of nowhere! David drops to a knee, still feeling the effects from the knee strikes, before collapsing onto Starla.
One!
Two!
Three!
Matt Baker's hand hit the mat three times, however he immediately waves it off, ensuring everyone it was a two count as Starla got a shoulder up just a hair before the three count. David slaps his hands three times, he is convinced it was a three count, but Baker reiterates it was two. Baker tries to clean some of the blood from David's likely broken nose, but David shrugs him off as he goes to the apron and begins his climb to the top turnbuckle. Starla has come to and meets him up there, unloading punches on David who tries to keep his balance and prevent falling to the arena floor. David manages to block a punch and throws a hard fist of his own, then shoves Starla to the mat below. David comes off the top rope as he connects with From the Ashes (Frog Splash)!
One!
Two!
Three!
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner, and the NEW AXW CHAMPION, DAVID SLAYTON!
Mike Vincent: What an intense battle that these two friends put each other through, and unfortunately for Starla Gardevoir, her history making AXW Championship reign comes to an end.
Cole Haywood: And this was not an easy victory for David Slayton, as he had to bust out From the Ashes, which he doesn't do unless nothing else works.
Lily Luna: Starla Gardevoir made history when she got the better of David Slayton to become the first ever female AXW Champion, and tonight the tables were turned. Starla might not have the longest reign, but it certainly was the most impressive in my books. However, it's now once again about David Slayton as he wins his second AXW Championship.
Matt Baker hands David Slayton the AXW Championship, and raises his arm into the air. David climbs turnbuckles and raises his newly won championship into the air. David stops his celebration and places his title on the mat, when he notices Starla propped against a bottom turnbuckle, with her hands covering her face. He kneels down next to Starla and gets her attention. Starla lowers her hands, she is visibly saddened with her title loss. "The Phoenix" fades out as David speaks to her, though what he is saying is inaudible. David helps Starla to her feet, and raises her hand, before pulling her in for a hug.
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! Salvatore Pellegrino: This is your Main Event, a Tag Team Contest scheduled for one fall, introducing first, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, weighing 245 pounds, here is "The New Hotness" DAVID SLAYTON! Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope-to-dies Silver clouds with grey linings So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked One maniac at a time we will take it back You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start So dance alone to the beat of your heart His sunglasses shining with the glare from the arena lights, David looks to the left, then to the right, nodding towards the crowd before walking down the ramp. After stopping to slap hands with a few fans, David moves towards the ring steps and hops up and down a few times in front of them before quickly racing up the steps to the apron side facing the stage. He stops and pulls his sunglasses off, then tosses them behind his head into the crowd before leaning down and stepping through the ropes to enter the ring. Hey young blood Doesn't it feel like our time is running out? I'm gonna change you like a remix Then I'll raise you like a phoenix You're wearing our vintage misery No, I think it looked a little better on me I'm gonna change you like a remix Then I'll raise you like a phoenix David walks across the ring and leaps up onto the second rope in the corner nearest the timekeeper, then pulls off his green trenchcoat and tosses it towards the timekeeper. David smirks and points to the fans, then slaps his chest a few times and points up towards the sky, closing his eyes and saying a short prayer. David leaps down from the corner and immediately turns to sit down in the same corner, ala Raven. David then rests his head on the second turnbuckle pad as his theme fades and the crowd continues cheering. The opening chords of "The Right Direction" by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus rolls throughout the arena. There’s a fountain of pyro at the three second mark as the song hits. Three spotlights shine and revolve around as if searching for someone, and the fans are on their feet, cheering in anticipation for the hero they know is coming. At the seven second mark, the hooded figure steps from behind the curtain and through the pyro looking down. The song builds to the fourteen second mark as he throws his hood back and arms out, fired up, as there’s a loud pop of orange and white pyro from the stage. Gabe Shelley responds to the cheers of the fans by pounding his chest and pointing out to them. The fans are positively crazy about Gabe. He begins to make his way to the ring and is sure to tap hands of fans on the ramp. Salvatore Pellegrino: His partner, from Columbus, Ohio, weighing in at 220 pounds, here is "the reVolution" GABE SHELLEY! I will never understand the path you chose Chemical parasitic waste inside your bowels So wrap it up while you still can While you got the offer in I just can't believe That you'd throw it all away Now you falsely return today As you're falling on your face Shelley makes his way up the steel steps and jumps to the second turnbuckle and looks around the arena with a smile on his face. He jumps into the ring as his hood comes back up, landing on his feet. He goes to the middle of the ropes ropes facing camera side and jumps to the second one. He flips the hood back once again and makes finger guns at the camera and fires with a wink. "Too Drunk to Fuck" by the Dead Kennedys kicks in as a smirking Jack Adams comes jogging out from the back. He looks at the crowd, laughing to himself as he walks to the ring, all the while Adams is goading the fans and prevoking them, daring them to punch him, before feigning punching them himself. Generally, just being a bully. Salvatore Pellegrino: Their opponents representing the Steve Corman Guys, first, from Fort Payne, Alabama, weighing 230 pounds, he is "The Last Real Man" JACK ADAMS! Adams slides into the ring and being the dick he is, just yells to the hard camera "LAST REAL MAN ALIVE!" The lights all go out and "Miseria Cantare" by AFI starts as a single spotlight shines on the entrance as Damien Steele is standing in the entrance hair in front of his face as at the 45 second mark of the song. Damien flips his hair back and starts to walk down to the ring, as the words of the song start. LOVE... YOUR HATE... Salvatore Pellegrino: From Chicago, Illinois, weighing 221 pounds, "The Vicious One" DAMIEN STEELE! Damien Steele makes no connection to any fans that might be throwing insults his way, almost as if he is only focused on the ring, and more specifically his opponent. YOUR... FAITH LOST... Steele reaches the ring as he walks around to the steps. YOU... ARE NOW... Damien waits at the bottom of the steps keeping his eyes on his opponent. ONE... OF US... A wicked smile comes across his face as the words of the song repeat again just a little bit faster this time. LOVE... YOUR HATE... YOUR... FAITH LOST... YOU... ARE NOW... ONE... OF US... Steele takes one step up the steps, still keeping his eyes locked on his opponent till he reaches the top step and wipes his feet before entering the ring never taking his eyes off his opponent.  vs.   Gabe and Jack are the two to start the match, that is until Jack tags out to Steele. Gabe and Steele lock up, with Gabe getting Steele in a side headlock. Steele manages to push Shelley back to the ropes, forcing a break. Steele takes advantage, kneeing Gabe in the gut and taking him down with a snapmare, followed by a chinlock. Gabe manages to get to his feet and elbows himself free. Gabe runs off the ropes and takes Steele off his feet with a forearm smash. Gabe takes Steele down with an Exploder Suplex. Gabe ducks a clothesline and swiftly delivers an STO Backbreaker into Neckbreaker. Gabe throws Steele to the ropes and lifts him for a Pop Up Flapjack/Shining Wizard Combo. Gabe tries to bring Steele to the TR corner to tag in Slayton, but Steele pulls him back and lifts him up for a Northern Lights Suplex. Steele hoists Shelley up for a Belly to Back Complete Shot. Steele lifts Shelley onto his shoulders, and spins around before delivering an F-5. Steele lifts a doubled over Shelley up and runs him into the CG corner with a Buckle Bomb. Steele tags in Jack who runs off the ropes and clobbers Shelley with a Meat Hook Clothesline. Adams continuously stomps on Shelley with an Alabama Stompdown (Garvin Stomp). Adams picks Shelley up for an Alabama Slam (Short Throw down Powerbomb), getting a two count. Adams starts to whip Gabe but pulls him back in and plants Shelley to the mat with a Throwdown Spinebuster. Adams starts to set up the Gotch-Style Piledriver, but Gabe responds with a back body drop. Gabe suddenly delivers a Cannon Ball (Similar to the Codebreaker, but Gabe's knees are in his opponents chest). Both men manage to tag out and in come Slayton and Steele. Slayton takes Steele down with a series of clotheslines before picking him up with a Samoan Drop. David hooks Damien's arms and lifts him for a Double Underhook Backbreaker. Steele gets slammed to the canvas with the Triple Vertical Suplexes. David follows up with a Jumping Elbowdrop for two. David tries for the Crossface Chickenwing but Steele fights it before it can get applied. David drops Steele with a Sit-Out Facebuster, then ascends to the top rope. Steele seizes the opportunity and takes David down with a Steele Dragon (Leaping Avalanche Frankensteiner)! Matt Baker stars the count. One! Two! Broken up by Gabe Shelley! Jack comes in and throws Gabe out of the ring. Jack holds David in position for the Loony Stomp, Steele backing to the ropes in preparation. Gabe grabs Steele's feet and trips him. Gabe enters the ring and clotheslines Jack out. Gabe is then clotheslined out by Steele. Steele is then kicked in the face with The Full Effect (Sweet Chin Music)! One! Two! Three! Salvatore Pellegrino: Here are your winners, Gabe Shelley and David Slayton, TRU REVOLUTION! Mike Vincent: A fantastic Main Event, not a good night for the Corman Guys. At least Steve Corman kepts his word and didn't come out here. Cole Haywood: Of course he didn't come out here, you heard him, his doctor hasn't cleared him. Plus, why would he come out here? Him coming out here is a target for the Alliance of Truth to attack him for no reason again.
Gabe regroups with David and the two celebrate their win. The duo egg on Steele and Adams to come back in for more, but they disregard the notion and head to the back. Jack will wait until Anarchy, his terms, to fight Shelley and Steele's eyes are on the Light Heavyweight Title.
Mike Vincent: Thank you for watching AXW, more action comes to you next week from Mobile, Alabama!
 Jesus gave David his money's worth, as Jesus delivered maneuvers such as Rope Assisted Swinging Neckbreaker, Jesus-Lock DDT (Devil Lock DDT), Dragon Suplex, Praise Jesus (Hand on Forehead + Snap STO). David fought back with some of his big moves, such as Double Underhook Backbreaker, Sit-Out Facebuster, Triple Suplex, Death Valley Driver. Jesus tried locking in #PRAISED (Scorpion Crosslock), but David fough out of it before he could get it locked in and locked Jesus a Firehawk Lock (Crippler Crossface), causing him to submit. Jen Brunelli: Your winner by submission, DAVID SLAYTON! Lily Luna: Jesus is a tough opponent, but David Slayton does what he does best. Chris Pierce: Make Jesus tap? Lily Luna: Something like that. That's all we have for The Alternative, make sure to turn your tv to ION to catch AXW! |

PUT ON YOUR WAR PAINT! The lights in the arena all cut to black and the Tron comes to life, pulsating with a green light as a quiet beat gets louder with every flash. It gets faster and faster, and louder with each pulse, until the pulsating light explodes into the words "Blazenwing Rises" and “The Phoenix” by Fall Out Boy blares across the arena sound system. You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down Strike a match and I'll burn you to the ground We are the jack-o-lanterns in July Setting fire to the sky He-here comes this rising tide So come on PUT ON YOUR WAR PAINT! The stage fills with smoke and the crowd rises to their feet, cheering loudly, as the smoke clears on the stage and a man in a dark green trenchcoat stands, head down, facing the Tron. He raises his hands and snaps his fingers, causing four loud bursts of pyro to ignite, two on each side of him, before spinning around Y2J style to reveal David Slayton! Jen Brunelli: This next contest is set for one fall! Introducing first, representing Tru Revolution, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, weighing 245 pounds, here is "The New Hotness" DAVID SLAYTON! Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope-to-dies Silver clouds with grey linings So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked One maniac at a time we will take it back You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start So dance alone to the beat of your heart His sunglasses shining with the glare from the arena lights, David looks to the left, then to the right, nodding towards the crowd before walking down the ramp. After stopping to slap hands with a few fans, David moves towards the ring steps and hops up and down a few times in front of them before quickly racing up the steps to the apron side facing the stage. He stops and pulls his sunglasses off, then tosses them behind his head into the crowd before leaning down and stepping through the ropes to enter the ring. Hey young blood Doesn't it feel like our time is running out? I'm gonna change you like a remix Then I'll raise you like a phoenix You're wearing our vintage misery No, I think it looked a little better on me I'm gonna change you like a remix Then I'll raise you like a phoenix David walks across the ring and leaps up onto the second rope in the corner nearest the timekeeper, then pulls off his green trenchcoat and tosses it towards the timekeeper. David smirks and points to the fans, then slaps his chest a few times and points up towards the sky, closing his eyes and saying a short prayer. David leaps down from the corner and immediately turns to sit down in the same corner, ala Raven. David then rests his head on the second turnbuckle pad as his theme fades and the crowd continues cheering. "Too Drunk to Fuck" by the Dead Kennedys kicks in as a smirking Jack Adams comes jogging out from the back. He looks at the crowd, laughing to himself as he walks to the ring, all the while Adams is goading the fans and prevoking them, daring them to punch him, before feigning punching them himself. Generally, just being a bully. Jen Brunelli: His opponent, representing the Steve Corman Guys, from Fort Payne, Alabama, weighing 230 pounds, he is "The Last Real Man" JACK ADAMS! Adams slides into the ring and being the dick he is, just yells to the hard camera "LAST REAL MAN ALIVE!"  The two lock up. Slayton gets Adams in the side headlock but Adams lifts him up for a Saito suplex. Slayton is back to his feet and is struck with Knife Edge Chops (aimed at the chest and throat). Adams hits Slayton with a Swinging Back Heel Kick and then takes him down via Guillotine Neckbreaker. Adams runs off the ropes and lifts his leg for the Running Arched Boot, but Slayton side steps. Slayton thus lifts Adams up for the Triple German Suplexes. Slayton leaps up for a Jumping Elbowdrop, getting two on a nonchalant cover. Slayton hits Adams with a Short-Arm Clothesline, then lifts him up for a Samoan Drop. Slayton would whip Adams into the corner, and come in with a Stinger Splash. Upon going for a second one, Adams moves and Slayton hits the buckles. Adams doubles Slayton over and lifts him up for the Running Corner Powerbomb. Adams hits the ropes and nails Slayton with the Meat Hook Lariat, earning only two. Slayton is lifted up for a Throwdown Spinebuster. Adams hits all of Slayton's extremities with the Alabama Stompdown (Garvin Stomp). Adams bounces off the ropes again, this time delivering an Alabama Hamma (Running Polish Hammer). Adams finishes off the tour of Alabama with the Alabama Slam (Short Throw down Powerbomb). Adams is a bit frustrated upon getting a two count. Adams starts to lift Slayton to his feet when Slayton executes a Jawbreaker. Slayton lifts Adams onto his shoulders before drilling him to the mat with a Death Valley Driver. Slayton looks to end it as he stomps his foot, awaiting to nail Adams with The Full Effect (Sweet Chin Music). Adams ends up ducking it, kicks Slayton in the gut, and starts to lift him for a Gotch-Style Piledriver. Slayton fights it and reverses into a back body drop. Adams is right back up only to be rocked by The Full Effect! Slayton covers. Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, DAVID SLAYTON! Lily Luna: A hard fought win for David Slayton tonight. Jack Adams brought his a-game but Slayton had it scouted. Chris Pierce: David Slayton has been a little quiet since being dethroned as AXW Champion, this win will certainly boost his confidence, assuming he lost any.
David Slayton celebrates his win with the crowd, before exiting the arena.
 Bray Coleman and Gabe Shelley lock it up, with Shelley able to get behind Bray and lock him in a waist lock, but Bray fights out of it with elbows to Shelley’s head. Bray runs the ropes and tries for a crossbody, but Shelley catches him and scoop slams him instead! Then, Shelley drops a knee on Bray’s face, followed with a headlock. He pulls Bray to his feet, drags him to Slayton, and makes the tag. Shelley chicken wings Bray while Slayton tees off on him with three or four punches, then Shelley lets go and exits. Slayton continues his assault with a takedown and mounted punches! He is forced to stop by the referee, so Slayton promptly takes in Shelley, who springboards in for I’m a Bird, Mother Fucker! (Springboard Leg Drop From Apron), then goes for the pin, only to get a short two count. Shelley tags in Slayton, who enters and hits a jumping elbow drop, then tries another pin, but again Bray kicks out! A quick tag to Shelley, followed by Slayton knocking Veaga off the apron, and suddenly, Shelley is looking for The reVolt (cradle shock)! Bray battles out of it, delivering a knee to the head and then slipping off his shoulders. Shelley whips around and Bray delivers a quick belly-to-belly! Both men are down and Veaga is getting back to the apron. Bray crawls his way to Veaga and makes the tag as Shelley gets to his feet. Veaga takes Shelley down with a big boot. Slayton enters the ring and gets shoulder blocked to the mat. He’s back to his feet and again he’s knocked down, then Veaga delivers the elbow drop to his chest. He pulls Slayton to his feet again and launches him over the top rope, but the distraction of Slayton was enough to let Shelley back to his feet. Veaga turns around and Shelley delivers a cannon ball (similar to codebreaker, but knees to the opponent’s chest) to him! As Shelley gets back up, however, it’s Bray Coleman flying in from the top rope with a Karnival Kross (diving crossbody)! Shelley rolls out of the ring, while Slayton slides in, and gives Bray a kick to the gut and an impaler DDT! Bray rolls out as well, but again – the time allowed Veaga to his feet. He surprises Slayton with a Strongman Spinebuster! Veaga then sets Slayton up for the Death Breaker (Gory Special reverse STO) and connects! The pin comes in, but the ref doesn’t count and Veaga gets up and into the ref’s face, not realizing Slayton isn't the legal man! Suddenly, Veaga is yanked down, as Shelley schoolboys him! 1, 2, 3! Shelley picks up the win for his team! Winner: Tru Revolution 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.

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.

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.
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.

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!

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.

Ryan Starr unloads with some kicks to the larger Slayton. Starr runs off the ropes and Slayton takes him down with a shoulder check. Slayton runs the ropes and is taken down with a stunning dropkick from Starr. Slayton rolls out of the ring from the impact. Starr bounces off the ropes and sprints across the ring, darting through the ropes with a Suicide Dive, a crack is heard as Slayton lands back first on the metal ramp. Starr climbs the apron then up to the second turnbuckle, coming off with a moonsault, taking Slayton back down right as he's getting back up. Starr rolls back into ring. Starr slingshots over the top rope and looks for a hurricanrana, but Slayton catches him. Slayton looks to powerbomb him into the barricade but Starr is able to deliver the hurricanrana, sending Slayton into the barricade. Starr grabs Slayton and gets him back in the ring, covering for two. Starr traps Slayton in a Reverse chinlock, but Slayton is able to get to his feet and elbows himself free. Slayton hits the ropes and nails Starr with a Running Forearm Strike. Starr gets up and is met with some Short-Arm Clotheslines. Slayton brings Starr to the mat with a Neckbreaker, then leaps up for his Jumping Elbowdrop, a nonchalant cover earning him two. Starr swings wildly just looking to get some offense in, but Slayton ducks it and lifts Starr up for Triple German Suplexes, bridging on the final one for two. Slayton whips Starr to the corner and comes in with a big corner clothesline. Slayton lifts Starr up for a Samoan Drop, another two count. Slayton picks Starr back to his feet and Starr suddenly drills Slayton with an Enzuigiri.

Starr is standing near the ropes and Slayton goes to attack him, but Starr grabs hold of the top rope and kicks Slayton, Starr also using the momentum to backflip out to the apron. Starr springboards back in and hits a Flying forearm smash. Starr drives his knee into the back of Slayton's neck with an Inverted overdrive. Starr heads to the top rope, he awaits Slayton to get to his feet, perhaps meaning he is looking for Burning Flames (Diving somersault neckbreaker). Starr jumps off and is kicked out of the air courtesy of The Full Effect (Sweet Chin Music) by Slayton! Slayton hooks a leg and this one is in the books.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Advancing to the Second Round, DAVID SLAYTON!
Mike Vincent: What a match and unfortunately for Ryan Starr, David Slayton wants a third AXW Championship reign.
Cole Haywood: I'm not the biggest fan of either guy, but these two can bring it. However, should David Slayton make it through the rest of this tournament, he has to deal with Steve Corman who ended Slayton's second reign, and will likely end Slayton's hopes of a third.
Matt Baker raises the arm of David Slayton. David takes the time to celebrate, and helps up a coming to Starr. The two shake hands and Slayton raises the arm of Starr.
Mike Vincent: Nice to see some good sportsmanship as we close out the show, good night everyone, the AXW Championship Number One Contender's Tournament continues next week!
 vs. AXW Championship
#1 Contender's Tournament
Round 2A lot of history here, but it's left in the past as the former-friends-turned-bitter-rivals-turned-friends-again start the match with an old fashioned handshake. Maneuvers to highlight from Bobo include German Suplex + Dragon Suplex + Tiger Suplex, Double Underhook Powerbomb, Pop-up Cutter, Leapfrog evasion into Sunset Flip, Tiger Flowsion. Slayton's highlights include Double Underhook Backbreaker, Crossface Chickenwing, Death Valley Driver, Triple Suplex, Samoan Drop. Slayton would duck IDT (It's Dessert Time) (Jumping Spinning Hook Kick, with theatrics), look for The Full Effect (Sweet Chin Music), which Bobo ducks and tries to lock Slayton in The Sweetner (STF with Cobra Clutch), but Slayton is able to avoid it and locks in Firehawk Lock (Crippler Crossface), Bobo ultimately tapping out. Post match the two share another handshake as well as a hug, history will not be repeating itself tonight. Winner: David Slayton (advances to semi-finals)  vs.  AXW Championship
#1 Contender's Tournament
Semi-FinalsDavid Slayton is able to deliver a number of his big moves, such as Double Underhook Backbreaker, Samoan Drop, Sit-Out Facebuster, Dragon Sleeper, Death Valley Driver. Chaz Anix on the other hand was unable to get any offense in. Frustrated, Chaz Anix rolls out of the ring, grabs his Xperience Championship, and gets the hell out of the arena. Winner: David Slayton (via count out, Chaz Anix still AXW Xperience Champion, advances to Finals) ‘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. Jen Brunelli: This is your Alternative Main Event set for one fall! Introducing first, wrestling out of Tampa, Florida, weighing 165 pounds, ACER STONE! 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. 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: His opponent, wrestling out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, weighing 245 pounds, here is "The New Hotness" DAVID SLAYTON! Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope-to-dies Silver clouds with grey linings So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked One maniac at a time we will take it back You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start So dance alone to the beat of your heart His sunglasses shining with the glare from the arena lights, David looks to the left, then to the right, nodding towards the crowd before walking down the ramp. After stopping to slap hands with a few fans, David moves towards the ring steps and hops up and down a few times in front of them before quickly racing up the steps to the apron side facing the stage. He stops and pulls his sunglasses off, then tosses them behind his head into the crowd before leaning down and stepping through the ropes to enter the ring. Hey young blood Doesn't it feel like our time is running out? I'm gonna change you like a remix Then I'll raise you like a phoenix You're wearing our vintage misery No, I think it looked a little better on me I'm gonna change you like a remix Then I'll raise you like a phoenix David walks across the ring and leaps up onto the second rope in the corner nearest the timekeeper, then pulls off his green trenchcoat and tosses it towards the timekeeper. David smirks and points to the fans, then slaps his chest a few times and points up towards the sky, closing his eyes and saying a short prayer. David leaps down from the corner and immediately turns to sit down in the same corner, ala Raven. David then rests his head on the second turnbuckle pad as his theme fades and the crowd continues cheering.  vs.  Slayton is able to out-power the smaller Stone to start with control. Slayton starts the match off with moves like a Double Underhook Backbreaker, DDT, Lou Thesz Press & Mounted Punches, and Samoan Drop. Slayton would go on to whip Stone to the ropes where Stone would respond with a sequence of a School Boy followed by a decent show of strength by lifting Slayton up for a Flapjack. Stone goes on with control and delivers a Shining Wizard, Springboard Hurricanranna, Diving Leg Lariat, and attempts a Suplex which Slayton counters with his own Suplex. Slayton takes the match back with a Short-Arm Clothesline, Running Forearm Strike, Sit-Out Facebuster, and Jumping Elbowdrop. Slayton lifts Stone up for a Death Valley Driver which Stone reverses into a Tornado DDT. Stone delivers an Enzuigiri, Disaster Kick, Stone Cutter (Axe Kick), and Shooting Star Elbow Drop. Stone goes to springboard off the second rope and whatever he had planned gets him knocked out of the air courtesy of The Full Effect (Sweet Chin Music), which earns Slayton the victory. Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, DAVID SLAYTON! Lily Luna: That Full Effect can come out of nowhere, and Acer Stone seems to find that out the hard way. Chris Pierce: This is not the first encounter between the two, and this is not the first time Slayton kicked Stone out of the air. Acer should perhaps draw up a new gameplan should these two meet again.
"The Phoenix" blares throughout the arena with David Slayton celebrating his victory.
Lily Luna: That's it for us, stay tuned as Mike Vincent and Cole Haywood take over with more AXW action!
