East Rutherford, New Jersey
Episode XVI
A pyrotechnics display goes off on the stage, and the cameras pan across the crowd to see some of the fans signs, such as,
"Push The Push"
"[Bloody Hand print]"
"Party Like it's 1980-15!"
"Luke Needs Parenting Classes"
Mike Vincent: Welcome to AXW! I'm Mike Vincent alongside Cole Haywood, and we're immediately gonna kick off with some action!
SINGLES MATCH
Caitlin Shay vs. Morgan Page
The lack of love for the AXW backstage interviewer was on display as the crowd greeted Caitlin Shay the only way they know how, by booing the ever-loving crap out of her. Shay would keep a sour look on her face, even jawing with some fans on the way to the ring before entering the ring and taking a microphone. Shay would declare in a over the top newscaster voice “This just in, the world’s greatest female wrestler, Caitlin Shay, forced to dirty her hands with a useless slut in front of a group of stupid slobs, film at 11!” before dropping the mic down and laughing to herself despite the boos from the crowd. Morgan Page would enter to a nice pop for the newcomer, definitely catching the eye of a lot of the male fans in the audience, some of which took to whistling at her and even asking for her number on the way to the ring, which got a chuckle from the young lady. Entering the ring, she’d make the mistake of turning to acknowledge the crowd, giving Caitlin a chance to attack her from behind as referee Mat Baker would signal for the start of the match. Caitlin would open her assault with hard chops and kicks backing Morgan into the corner, before rearing back and slapping her hard across the face, Caitlin mocking Morgan and the crowd by giving them an L shape on her forehead, before jerking her thumb towards Morgan and calling her a skank! Caitlin turns and is tackled to the mat with a spear, Page throwing hard rights to Caitlin, pumping up the crowd as Shay stumbles to her feet only to get hit with a sit out jawbreaker, knocking her back into the ropes before a high roundhouse kick nearly takes her head off! Page goes for the cover and gets a near fall. Page yells out “Who’s the skank now?” as Shay goes to retreat in the corner. Page charges in with a clothesline and connects. She whips Caitlin into the opposite corner and charges again, but Shay dodges, Page tries to improvise, using her agility to attempt a Whisper In The End, but Shay isn’t there and Page comes crashing into the mat, Shay trying for a quick cover, only getting a two count. Now it’s Shay opening up her attack whipping Page hard into the corner, following it up with a hard elbow smash, then hitting a snap powerslam on Page out of the corner for a long two count. Shay is toying with Page, slapping her on the back of the head before going for a swinging neckbreaker, but Page executes an amazing counter into a backslide pin, nearly stealing the victory from Shay who gets back up, steaming mad, taking a swing at Page who side steps the shot and goes to lift Shay up in a full nelson spot, perhaps looking for a full nelson release bulldog, but Shay hits a low blow with the heel of her boot causing a chain reaction that sends her into a victory roll, Shay holding onto Page’s bottom ring attire for extra leverage getting the sneaky, sleazy victory much to the chagrin of Page and the capacity crowd.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner, CAITLIN SHAY!
Mike Vincent: What a cheap win by Caitlin.
Cole Haywood: What's so cheap about a victory roll?
Mike Vincent: She low blowed Morgan and grabbed her tights.
Cole Haywood: I didn't see nothin'.
Shay actually does a lap around the ringside area, holding a middle finger next to her left cheek to a chorus of boos before giving Page the L shape on her forehead again with a laugh as Page glares at her in the ring.

We're in TRENT's office, where TRENT is seated at his desk, feet kicked up, watching tv. Luke Mathews walks up to the desk, in his full ring gear. TRENT looks at him confused.
TRENT: Why are you in your ring gear?
Luke Mathews: Because I'm an active wrestler who is employed by his ungrateful bratty son. That's what you said, right?
TRENT: I didn't say that last part. You're gonna wanna change because you aren't competing tonight.
Luke Mathews: Are you fucking kidding me?
TRENT: Who the hell do you think you are, talking to your boss like that?
Luke Mathews: Your fath-
TRENT: I don't wanna hear it! Here, put this on.
TRENT throws a referee shirt at Luke.
TRENT: In tonight's Main Event, Bruiser Lazzou and Crash Jackson will go head to head. Now, those are two pretty big dudes. Those are two guys who have the same goal: claiming the AXW Championship. You've seen what Crash Jackson did to Crest Silver. You've seen what Bruiser Lazzou did to that Polish guy whose name I can't pronounce. This match is not gonna be pretty, and I can't send a scrawny referee like Zack Fields out there. That's why you are gonna be the referee for that match. Now please, get the hell out of my office.
Luke glares at TRENT, before finally stepping out of the room.

TAG TEAM MATCH
The Young Gunnz vs. Hell's Henchmen
Two of AXW's newest tag teams square off, and despite the overwhelming size difference, The Young Gunnz show no fear, with Nick Gunnz immediately going after Lucifer. Nick hits numerous kicks to the leg of Lucifer, trying to take him down. Lucifer catches one of the kicks, then lifts and plants Nick with a spinebuster. Lucifer just stands there, allowing Nick to tag in his brother. Matthew sprints full speed at Lucifer, only to be turned inside out by a lariat. Lucifer then hits a fallaway slam to Matthew, sending him flying towards the Henchmen corner. Lucifer tags in Brimstone, and the two goozle Matthew. Nick comes in to try to save his brother, only for Lucifer to spit Black Mist in his face. Hell's Henchmen double chokeslam Matthew, and that's when a bloody hand print smears across the screen and the lights in the arena go out. Several seconds go by, and the bloody hand print smears across the screen once again, as the lights come back on. The Hell's Henchmen appear to be unconscious, with Matthew Gunnz lying on top of Brimstone. Referee Zack Fields is confused, but due to not having evidence, has to count to three.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here are your winners, THE YOUNG GUNNZ!
Cole Haywood: The puny Young Gunnz just beat Hell's Henchmen! Some monstrous team they are...
Mike Vincent: Well, it's obvious that Hand of Blood got involved, and there's a more serious issue with the Black Mist, Nick Gunnz is going to be blinded for weeks now.
The ringside doctor rushes to the aid of Nick, trying to flush his eyes as we head to commercial.
We return from commercial to a hospital room. Olya Oglovska is in a hospital bed, with her nose bandaged. Bobo Sweetcakes is seated in a chair next to the bed, his face in his hands as he appears to be crying. Olya and the doctor both look at him strangely. This event was filmed shortly after AXW went off the air two weeks ago.
Bobo Sweetcakes: Tell me doc, is... is she gonna make it?
Doctor: Uh, what are you talking about?
Bobo Sweetcakes: Is she gonna survive the operation?
Doctor: The operation is over. Has been for a while now.
Bobo Sweetcakes: How is she, doc?
Doctor: She's fine... she's sitting right next to you.
Bobo Sweetcakes: She's not... in a... a vegetative state is she?
Doctor: It's a minor broken nose, Mr. Sweetcakes. She'll be fully healed in a month at the most. If you want to talk to her, she is literally awake right next to you.
Bobo brings his attention to Olya. He rubs his hand on her cheek.
Bobo Sweetcakes: My sweet Olya, don't you worry. I'll avenge you, just... don't you die on me!
Bobo storms out of the room.
Doctor: What's with him?
Olya Oglovska: He's just a little distraught. Hopefully this will be good motivation for him to destroy those filthy Blazenwinks. When we finally rid AXW of those scum, we will half a celebration like no other! I just can't wait to taste his glaze filled strudel...
Doctor: Uhh....

FOUR WAY ELIMINATION MATCH
Winner Receives EWS World Juniorweight Championship Match
at RECKLESS ENDANGERMENT
Brandon Laux vs. Jay Blazenwing vs. Ryan Starr vs. Terry Trynsion Taylor
AXW Light Heavyweight Champion Damien Steele would provide his voice for commentary this match. Brandon Laux, who barely qualifies as a Juniorweight, focuses on Terry Trynsion Taylor, leaving Ryan Starr and Jay Blazenwing to lock up. Ryan takes Jay down with a headlock takedown, following it up with a knee drop. Meanwhile, Brandon has Terry cornered, and is just wildly throwing fists. Ryan hits Jay with a suplex, before going off the ropes to be caught with the Blazen-kick Combination. Brandon hits a nasty German suplex to Terry, before pushing him out of the ring with his foot. Brandon turns his attention to Jay Blazenwing, hitting an STO. Ryan Starr now hits Brandon with a spinning back kick, before hitting an enzuigiri. A groggy Laux soon finds himself on the mat, locked in a maneuver called Blue Fury by Terry Trynsion Taylor, who has since donned a blue mask. Brandon taps out.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Brandon Laux has been eliminated!
Cole Haywood: What a travesty! Terry isn't man enough to wrestle a full match, he has to send out all these goons!
Mike Vincent: I saw him put the mask on, that is Terry, Cole.
Damien Steele: Is this really what this division has come to? Weird masked guys and whack job conspiracy theorists? You should be thankful to have a champion like me.
T3's blue reign of terror doesn't last much longer, as he gets mounted by Brandon Laux who starts to pummel him. Referee Gus Ramos has to pull Brandon off of T3 and instruct Brandon to go to the back. Meanwhile, Jay has hit three consecutive rolling Norhtern Lights suplexes to Ryan, with the third sending Ryan over the top rope and to the floor. T3 tries to clothesline Jay, only for Jay to duck it, run off the ropes, and hit the Blazenwing! Jay pins T3.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Terry Trynsion Taylor has been eliminated!
Mike Vincent: See? Salvatore just called him Terry.
Cole Haywood: What does Salvatore even know? What credentials does he even have?
Damien Steele: At least the goofs are out of the match now. Well, at least HALF of them are out.
Before Jay can even think about what to do next, Ryan Starr comes off the top rope, hitting Burning Flames, securing his victory.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner, and NEW Number One Contender for the EWS World Juniorweight Championship, RYAN STARR!
Damien Steele: You know what? Good for him. He knew lightning wouldn't strike twice. He knew if he stepped in the ring with me again, he would have lost. He decides to take the easy way out and go after Richie Valiant. Good for him.
Damien Steele sarcastically claps as Ryan Starr helps Jay up to his feet, and the two shake hands.

We're back in TRENT's office, who is now on his phone, where the door flies open.
TRENT: Hey! Don't you know how to--
TRENT looks up from his phone to see two imposing figures: Lucifer, Brimstone. The Hell's Henchmen.
TRENT: Oh, uh, what can I do for you gentlemen?
Lucifer: Two weeks, AXW Supershow IV, we want Hand of Blood.
TRENT: Sure thing.
Lucifer: For the titles.
TRENT: Yup.
Lucifer: Anything goes.
TRENT: You got it.
Hell's Henchmen leave the room, without closing the door.
TRENT: Hey! You could at least close the door!
Brimstone slams the door so hard, that the whole damn door comes off the hinges, and falls to the floor.
TAG TEAM MATCH
Kiss Me Deadly vs. Janet Hurricane and Hailey Harris
Jenna starts the match off against Janet. Janet looks to lock up, but Jenna shows no interest in that as she kicks Janet in the gut, and plants her with a DDT. Jenna mounts Janet and starts throwing punches, until referee Jon Hendon pulls her off. Jenna then hits two backbreakers, followed by a fallaway slam. Jenna tags in Envy, who hits a leg lariat and a somersault leg drop. Envy lifts Janet to her feet, but Janet hits a facebuster. Janet hits her signature moves, Cry of Terror, Tropical Storm, and looks to set up for Wrath of the Hurricane, before Hailey tags herself in. Hailey hits a bulldog to Envy, before climbing a neutral turnbuckle. Jon Hendon is busy with trying to get Janet out of the ring, as she was upset she got tagged out, thus Livvy Doll takes the opportunity to yank Hailey's leg, racking her up on the top turnbuckle. Envy then climbs up with her, and hits the Hot Mess, earning the victory.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here are your winners, KISS ME DEADLY!
Mike Vincent: Some mis-communication between Janet and Hailey at the the end there.
Cole Haywood: Janet was hogging all the spotlight. Hailey still wants those 15 minutes of fame.
Sierra Starr has taken it upon herself to come down to ringside to watch the aftermath. Janet gets back into the ring to argue with Hailey. As the two exchange their words, Livvy Doll and Jenna Tonic slink into the ring, as KMD looks ready to pounce. Before they can, "Lycanthrope" plays and TRENT walks out to the stage.
TRENT: Hold on a minute, ladies. Save your cat fights because I have something to say. Janet Hurricane, I've had a change of heart. I will give you your rematch. In two weeks at AXW Supershow IV, for the AXW Women's Championship, it will be Sierra Starr vs. Janet Hurricane!
Janet nods in approval, mouthing "You're damn right."
TRENT: ... vs. Hailey Harris!
Janet glares over at Hailey, who glares right back.
TRENT: ... vs. Envy! In a Fatal Four Way! Let the cat fights commence!
All three members of KMD pounce at Hailey and Janet, trying to weaken some of the competition. Sierra Starr leans against the barricade, watching all of this go down. Jenna and Envy hit Got Infamy? on Janet, while Livvy hits the N2U on Hailey. KMD then turn their attention to Sierra, who simply walks with confidence back up the ramp. Envy ghost-belts, and we hear her say, "You're next, sweetheart!"
-----
We cut backstage, where we see Terry Trynsion Taylor, unmasked, and wearing casual clothing, walking down a hallway. Suddenly, an arm emerges from a doorway, grabs Terry, and pulls him into the room, and slams the door shut. The video feed quickly changes to a camera in the room, and we see Brandon Laux grab Terry by his shirt, and slams him into the wall, pinning him there.
Brandon Laux: WHY ARE YOU OUT TO GET ME?!
Terry Trynsion Taylor: (confused, and stumbling over words) I-I d- uh--
Brandon pulls him back, and re-slams him into the wall.
Brandon Laux: WHO ARE THESE MASKED MEN YOU'RE SENDING AFTER ME?!
Terry Trynsion Taylor: I-I- don-- wh--
Brandon pulls Terry back and slams him back into the wall.
Brandon Laux: DAMMIT, JERRY! USE YOUR WORDS!
Terry Trynsion: It- It's Terry... and I have no idea what you're talking about, dude!
Brandon, again, pulls him back and slams him into the wall.
Brandon Laux: WHERE DO YOU KEEP GOING IN OUR MATCHES?!
Terry Trynsion Taylor: I.. I don't go anywhere...
Brandon now just repeatedly slams Terry into the wall.
Brandon Laux: LIES! LIES! THEY'RE THOSE DAMN LIZARD PEOPLE FROM THE FOURTH DIMENSION AREN'T THEY?!
Brandon now holds him still against the wall.
Terry Trynsion Taylor: ... the hell are you even talking about?
Brandon punches Terry in the face, as Terry falls to the floor.
Brandon Laux: LIE ALL YOU WANT! I'LL GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS!
Brandon storms out of the room, slamming the door shut, leaving Terry in a heap on the floor.

ADRENALINE CHAMPIONSHIP
Jean-Pierre Frontenac (c) vs. David Slayton
For the second week in a row, Bobo attacked David during his entrance, this time Jay was not there. Bobo would slam David face first into the apron, before holding him, so Olya could hit him with her protective face mask, which she immediately puts back on afterwards. Jay Blazenwing comes storming down the ramp, and Bobo and Olya high tail it out into the crowd. Jay checks on his brother, while Jean-Pierre Frontenac, who was in the ring the whole time, grabs a microphone.
Jean-Pierre Frontenac: Je suis fatigué, I am tired of all your childish games. Ce est stupide. As of this moment, I am refusing to compete against, let alone defend my title against, David Slayton, Jay Blazenwing, and Bobo Sweetcakes. None of you deserve to compete against la grandeur comme moi.
JPF drops the mic as we head to commercial.
We return from commercials, where David Slayton is sat in the locker room, holding a bag of ice to his head. Jay Blazenwing walks up to him.
Jay Blazenwing: You alright?
David Slayton: Yeah, I'll be fine.
Jay Blazenwing: Sucks about the Adrenaline Championship, though.
David Slayton: At this point, I couldn't care less about JPF or the Adrenaline title. What I want is a match against Bobo, and I want it in two weeks at the Supershow. I'm going to go talk to TRENT.
David exits the room as we head into the next match.

TAG TEAM MATCH
The Yuganagi Twins vs. The Kingdom Cripplers
The Yuganagi Twins were the first to the ring, to a mixed reaction as they’ve been known to get here in AXW, Chad and Bruce looking ready for action. With their attention towards the ramp, Michael Blythe, their manager, would lead the newcomers, The Kingdom Cripplers to the ring, the crowd not sure what to make of them. As Ian and Connor look out onto the crowd, Blythe has a mic and looks over at the Yuganagi Twins, shaking his head in disbelief.
Michael Blythe: “With all due respect, TRENT, we didn’t sign here, turning down other brands, turning down companies in merry ol’ England just to come here and have to face your leftovers. We came here for competition, not an exhibition.”
The twins are furious over this, yelling over at Blythe who just smirks.
Michael Blythe: “What’s that, chaps? Something wrong with what I had to say? Where I come from, we have a very simple saying, only two words, but they mean a whole bloody lot. PROVE IT.”
Blythe nods to his clients as he hops down from the apron. Chad has decided he will start for his team as Ian is ready for The Kingdom Cripplers as referee Jon Hendon would signal the start of the match, Ian and Chad circling one another before locking up, Chad backing up Ian into the corner, Hendon calling from the break, Chad obliging, the two men locking up again, this time Chad using some strength and forcefully pushing Ian into the corner. Chad is once again called for the break, this time a flustered Ian shoving Chad, asking him what his deal is. Chad just smirks and rears back with a fist, taking Ian down. Chad whips Ian across the ropes and connects with a high Samoan drop, planting him, Chad turning for a pin, but Ian kicks out at two. Chad doesn’t relent whipping Ian across the ropes again, connecting with a hard spinebuster, dropping down for a pin and another two count. Blythe is shouting orders as Chad calls to the crowd that he’s going to do it “one more time” whipping Ian across the ropes for another spinebuster, but he lowers his head too soon and eats a stiff kick from Ian, staggering him back, before a spinning lariat from Ian takes his opponent off his feet. Ian brings Chad to his feet, hitting some stiff elbow shots, before tagging in his partner, Connor Riordan, the two men hitting a beautiful double STO, Ian exiting the ring as Connor plays to the crowd, a mixed reaction, though the boos seem to winning over. Connor tries for a superkick but Chad sidesteps him and hits a nice release German suplex. Crawling for the tag, Chad makes it to his corner and Bruce wastes no time making an impact, hitting Connor with some knife edge chops, followed by a snap powerslam for a two count. Ian charges in, only to be met by a standing suplex, dropping him right into his partner. The crowd is on their feet as Blythe is going crazy on the outside. The duo looks to hit their finisher, StarStrukk, when Blythe knocks Bruce off the top rope where he was going to hit a corkscrew, which allows Connor to turn the Samoan drop into a rolling pin, getting the 1,2,3 and the win for the Kingdom Cripplers!
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here are your winners, THE KINGDOM CRIPPLERS!
The crowd is booing the hell out of the newcomers, as Blythe has the biggest smirk on his face, raising the arms of his protégés, which further raises the ire of the crowd.
-----
We open backstage, where we see Timmy McDermott of The Push typing away on a laptop computer looking amazed as images flash before his eyes. His tag partner and best buddy, Jimmy Reynolds, sporting a Levis denim jacket and sipping from a can of Throwback Edition Pepsi pulls up a chair next to him.
Jimmy Reynolds: “What are you up to, man?”
Timmy McDermott: “This is amazing! This is stupendous! This is cool beans!”
Jimmy Reynolds: “What is..uh, all of those things, Timmy?"
Timmy McDermott: “It’s this! This is the greatest invention these Pod people of 1980-15 have ever created! There’s photos, some appropriate for work, some not so appropriate, there’s a website that’s all ridiculous videos of singing cats, and did you know, they even have a website where you collect friends.”
Jimmy Reynolds: “Like in a jar or something?”
Timmy McDermott: “Better yet, inside a book!”
Jimmy Reynolds: “What do they call this crazy contraption?”
Timmy McDermott: “They call it the Internet. It was created in the 1990s.”
Suddenly Timmy and Jimmy share a laugh, then roll their eyes.
Jimmy and Timmy: “Psh, the 90s!”
Jimmy Reynolds: “So I was eating breakfast at the hotel today and there was this cereal there called French Toast Crunch. You ever hear of it?”
Timmy McDermott: “Sounds delicious! Wait, is it from the same people who made Cinnamon Toast Crunch?”
Jimmy Reynolds: “One in the same, why?”
Timmy McDermott: “Well, nothing, except everybody knows about the great Cinnamon Toast Crunch murders.”
The crowd laughs as Jimmy scrunches up his face in bewilderment.
Jimmy Reynolds: “What are you talking about?”
Timmy McDermott: “Oh, come on now, Jimmy, you remember, back when we were kids. There used to be 3 bakers on a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and then, one day, without warning, there was only one, Wendell.”
Jimmy Reynolds: “Oh yeah, I remember. I thought that was just a marketing decision to axe those two other bakers.”
Timmy McDermott: “Oh sure, that’s what they want you to believe, but you remember what happened to Wendell after that, he got these crazy eyes, started going off about cinnamon and sugar, it was code, Jimmy, for where he buried the bodies of the other two bakers. Then of course those crazy little Toast Crunch monsters came one night, barged into Wendel’s room and exacted revenge on him by pretty much disemboweling him and leaving him for dead. Fun times.”
The crowd is in hysterics right now laughing as Jimmy can only manage to say…
Jimmy Reynolds: “How do you know this?”
Timmy McDermott: “Easy, the Pod People’s invention, The Internet, told me.”
Jimmy Reynolds: “You know, there’s been a lot of mysterious disappearances as it relates to cereal box characters. I mean, The Soggies from Cap N’ Crunch, those bakers, and even the cop and the crook from Cookie Crisp. You don’t think The Internet has all the answers to those, do you?”
Timmy McDermott: “I think we should find out, Jimmy. We could be heroes. We could save the day! Taylor Swift may even go out with us and then write a song about us when we break up with her!”
Jimmy Reynolds: “Who?”
Timmy McDermott: “My new girlfriend I found on the Internet.”
Jimmy facepalms as Timmy keeps tapping away on the keyboard as we return to ringside.
MAIN EVENT
NUMBER ONE CONTENDERSHIP FOR THE AXW CHAMPIONSHIP
Special Guest Referee: Luke Mathews
Bruiser Lazzou vs. Crash Jackson
The match starts off in a slugfest. During the brawl, Bruiser would slip in an eye poke. Luke warns Bruiser of disqualification, and Bruiser just doesn't seem to care. Bruiser immediately goes back on the attack, hitting a clothesline and a knee drop. Bruiser hits a running powerslam, and goes for a cover, only getting a one count. Bruiser gets in Luke's face, telling him that he counts to slow. Luke stands his ground, telling him the count was fine, and that Bruiser is risking disqualification. Crash Jackson hits Bruiser with a German suplex. Bruiser gets up, using the ropes to help him, and Crash Cactus-clotheslines Bruiser to the floor. Crash starts ripping apart the announce table, but before he knows it is thrown into the ring steps by Bruiser. Bruiser slams Crash onto the apron, before rolling him into the ring. Bruiser goes for another cover, gets a two count. Bruiser again gets in Luke's face, demanding that he counts faster. Bruiser brings Crash to his feet, and whips him into the ropes. On the rebound, Crash takes Bruiser down with Blind Rage. Crash covers, getting a two count. Crash locks in a dragon sleeper, and Bruiser manages to fight out of it. Bruiser approaches Jackson but gets hit with a big boot, that causes him to stagger back into the ropes. Bruiser bounces off the ropes and Jackson manages to lift him up for the Demolisher. Crash Jackson starts to get fired up. He brings Bruiser to his feet, whips him to the ropes. Jackson hits the adjacent ropes and hits Lazzou with the Pulverizer! Jackson covers, but alas, it only got a two count by Luke Mathews. Jackson now gets in Luke's grill, shoving three fingers into his face and shouting, "That was three!" Luke slaps Jackson's hand away, before shoving two fingers into Jackson's face, retaliating by shouting, "That was two!" Jackson and Mathews go nose-to-nose, before Lazzou throws Jackson into the corner. Bruiser hits Jackson with a cornered body splash, before pummeling him in the corner. Luke tries to pull Lazzou off of him, but Lazzou just pushes him away, before continuing his attack. Luke again goes to pull Lazzou off of him, but Lazzou again just shoves him away. On the third try, Luke is more aggressive on his approach and manages to pull Lazzou off, but Lazzou just Biel throws Luke across the ring. Lazzou turns his back to return to attacking Jackson, but the back of Lazzou's head is met by Luke Mathews' foot, as an angry Luke Mathews takes him out with an NFG. Crash Jackson immediately seizes the opportunity, pinning Bruiser Lazzou. Luke Mathews, who realizes he shouldn't have done that, reluctantly counts to three.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner, and NEW Number One Contender for the AXW Championship, CRASH JACKSON!
Cole Haywood: That's not fair! Bruiser Lazzou had this match won!
Mike Vincent: Luke Mathews tried his best to be impartial. He could've easily disqualified Lazzou, but he tried to keep the match going.
Crash Jackson demands that Luke Mathews raises his arm, which he does, only for Jackson to yank it out of his grasp and celebrate on his own. Justin Wyndham walks out onto the stage, and he and Jackson share a stare down before the fade to black.
