Episode VI
Mike Vincent: Welcome to the long awaited Episode 6 of AXW! After working out some contractual issues, we're back on air! Tonight we'll see AXW Champion Duncan Aries in action, and it's being rumored that Luke Mathews might have a couple announcements.
Benji Mathews: And we're gonna kick things off with a rematch from last week, Hargrave vs. Jacobs.
Mike Vincent: What do you mean rematch from last week? This is a rematch from Rise which happened a while ago.
Benji Mathews: You must not have gotten the memo.
"It's a Fight" by Three 6 Mafia plays and out walks "The American Psycho" Dallas Hargrave. He’s wearing a black sleeveless zip up hoodie [with the hood over his face] and the words “TAP OUT” on the back. He wears black MMA gloves, a black t-shirt underneath with “Full Contact Fighter” in blue and red and black and white “TAP OUT” Trunks. He walks with his head low, and lightly bounces on the soles of his feet.
Salvatore Pellegrino: This opening contest is set for one fall, introducing first, from Boston, Massachusetts, weighing in at 210 pounds, "The American Psycho" DAALLAAAAASS HARRRGRAAAAAVE!
He reaches the ringside area, and walks over to the bottom of the stairs. He stretches his arms out low and balls his fists tightly. All the muscles in his body tighten and his veins in his arm bulge. He lets out a primal scream, punches either side of his head and then runs up the stairs. He turns to the crowd, pulls back his hood and opens it to reveal his great physique. He enters the ring and climbs the corner raising his hands for all to see.
"Sad, but True" by Metallica blares out of the speakers as Michael Jacobs comes out of the curtains. He raises his two fists in the air, while his head is down, soaking up the reaction from the crowd. He then makes his way to the ring as the crowd chants, "Check Mate, Check Mate!" He can't help but smirk, loving the fans and their support.
Salvatore Pellegrino: And his opponent, from Detroit, Michigan, weighing in at 214 pounds, "Checkmate" MICHAAEELLL JAAACOOOBSS!
He jumps on the apron and hops to the ring. He then walks to the middle of the ring and raises his fists up high again while lowering his head.
vs. 
Both men are ready to get to the action, but immediately after the bell rings, "Power" by Kanye West takes over the sound system.
Mike Vincent: What's this?
Jacobs and Hargrave look up towards the stage in confusion, when two men walk out. One man, clearly a newly signed competitor, the other, clearly a manager of some sort. They both enter the ring, the manager holding a microphone.
Emir Ali Hussein Al-Fassie: Allow me to introduce ourselves, I am Emir Ali Hussein Al-Fassie, and this man is my client, "Lethal" Louis Williams. Now gentlemen, allow me to ask you this, why are you fighting each other? You two fighting each other will get you nowhere, I mean, look at yourselves now. You're barely promoted, you have segments cut, and you're reduced to fighting in a parking lot filled with imbeciles. Plus, it's just nonsense that you two fight each other. You started fighting each other because of a mere bump in a hallway, it's nonsense. You are two of the greatest fighters here, why waste that on each other? Join me, gentlemen, and I will take you to the top. I will get you the proper airtime you deserve, I will get you championships, money, women, whatever you want, I can get it all for you. So gentlemen, do you wanna keep fighting each other and get nowhere, or do you wanna join me and make it to the top?
Emir extends his hand. Dallas and Michael look at each other, and Dallas is the first to shake Emir's hand. Emir extends his hand toward Jacobs. Michael takes a moment, but does end up shaking his hand. With that, Emir raises the arms of his two newest clients, with Louis holding up his arm as well. "Power" replays to an arena of boos.
Mike Vincent: Well, I guess we're not starting out with a match.
Benji Mathews: Good for them. I'm looking forward to all of their futures.
We go somewhere backstage where Chicks and America are having a birthday party.
Hoffman LeGrand: I know it's a week late, but happy birthdays, dudes!
Trent of course turned 19 on the 30th, Ricky turned 24 on the 31st.
Ricky Diamond: A toast!
They toast, Hoff holding up a shot of whiskey, Ricky a blottle of beer, and Trent a can of Vanilla Coke.
Suddenly, Gavin Carpenter.
Gavin Carpenter: Guys, what are you doing?
Trent Mathews: Partyin' partyin'.
Hoffman LeGrand & Ricky Diamond: Yeah!
Gavin Carpenter: This is no time for parties or Rebecca Black references!
Ricky Diamond: I disagree.
Gavin Carpenter: Look, you guys got a match next, and if you don't get ready, I'm gonna tell Luke!
Hoffman LeGrand: Dude don't be such a nark.
Trent Mathews: Yeah man have some cake.
With that, Ricky grabs the back of Gavin's head and plants him face first into some cake. That's when Luke walks in.
Luke Mathews: Trent! Ricky! Quit horsing around and get out there! And Jesus Christ, Gavin, control yourself. Eat the cake with a fork like a normal person!
Gavin Carpenter: But they--he--
Luke walks out before Gavin can explain himself.
*****COMMERCIALS*****
We return to Salvatore.
Salvatore Pellegrino: This contest is a tag team match set for one fall, and is to determine the Number One Contenders for the AXW Tag Team Championships! First, please welcome the current AXW Tag Team Champions, the Heroes of Today!
"Climax (Instrumental" hits and HOT strut their way down to ringside with their titles.
Mike Vincent: Massari and Flare with a lot of interest in this match-up.
Benji Mathews: No shit.
"My Own Worst Enemy" hits and out walk the three members of Chicks and America.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Being accompanied to the ring by Hoffman LeGrand, at a combined weight of 422 pounds, Trent Mathews and Ricky Diamond, CHICKS AND AMERICAAAA!
The three enter the ring, Diamond throwing his "Fear the Beard" t-shirt into the crowd.
Salvatore Pellegrino: And their opponents...
A few seconds go by, before a blackout occurs. David Bowie's hypnotic "Warszawa" forebodes the threat of Giants, at which point a spotlight touches a 7'5'' Eiffel and 7'0'' Wight.
Benji Mathews: Oh my god...
Mike Vincent: Is that... the Giants? I thought they were in CCW!
Benji Mathews: I guess they're here now.
Salvatore Pellegrino: ...from the Mountains, weighing in at a combined 812 pounds, Wight and Eiffel, THEEEE GIIAAAANNTTS!
The spotlight follows the impossible men down the ramp and up steel steps, and then over the top rope. Right as Bowie's vocals join in, the lights slowly turn on until observers see the noteworthy size differences between The Giants and their opponents.
Mike Vincent: C&A and HOT are shocked!
Benji Mathews: As they should be, this is big! Literally!
Wight looks to start the match for the Giants, meanwhile in the other corner, Hoffman gets the hell out of the ring, while Trent and Ricky keep going back and forth on who's going to start. This comes to an end when Trent shoves Ricky to the center of the ring and quickly goes out to the apron. Ricky tries to play it off, walking up to Wight, pumping his chest out to look tough, as if trying to intimidate the giant.
Mike Vincent: Do you think Wight fears the b--
Benji Mathews: No.
vs.
Minute 1: Wight simply gives Ricky a good shove. Ricky falls to the mat and rolls backwards. He stands up and runs at the giant, trying to take him down with a shoulder tackle, but falls back down to the mat as Wight doesn't budge. Ricky gets back up and goes off the ropes, before attempting a crossbody. Wight catches him and immediately slams him back down on the mat.
Mike Vincent: Ricky putting in a valiant effort, but hasn't been able to get the giant Wight down.
Benji Mathews: Valiant? He's just been running at a brick wall, his strategy is stupid.
Minutes 2-4: Wight and Eiffel have been keeping Ricky grounded and isolated from Trent with a few quick tags. When Wight is tagged back in, it looks as if he's about to whip Ricky into the C&A corner, but he doesn't release the whip, and brings him back around, whipping him into the Giants corner. Wight walks halfway across the ring, before running at Ricky, squishing him in the corner. Wight keeps him sandwiched for a few seconds before Eiffel tags himself in. Ricky would fall to his knees, gasping for some air before Eiffel brings him back up. Eiffel wraps his hands around the throat of Ricky, before choke tossing him across the ring. Ricky would land close enough to where Trent would be able to tag himself in.
Mike Vincent: Looks like Trent wants in now.
Benji Mathews: RIP.
Minute 5: Trent enters the ring via his finishing move, Altrentative, but is caught by Eiffel, who repositions Trent before planting him head first with a kneeling reverse piledriver for the win.
Salvatore Pellegrino: The winners of this match and Number One Contenders for the Tag Team Championships, The Giants!
HOT look on showing some concern. The scene ends with The Giants standing tall, HOT heading up the ramp, and C&A trying to regroup, so they can continue their birthday parties after the show. We head backstage to Caitlin Shay.
Caitlin Shay: Ladies and gentlemen, Luke Mathews.
The camera zooms out and we see Luke standing next to Caitlin.
Caitlin Shay: Mr. Mathews, it's been rumored you had some announcements to make?
Luke Mathews: A couple, yes. As some of you may have heard, Fray8train, or Raymond Jackson as he's now known as, is now with CCW. I tried negotiating with Ray, but his heart was set on the contract CCW offered him. I figured if I'm going to lose a tag team, I'm gonna gain one. I called up Mr. K. Fabe and worked out a little deal. And now, as you just saw, The Giants have arrived. Kinda like a cross-company trade.
Caitlin Shay: That's some big news, is there anything else?
Luke Mathews: Yes, there's more. At Anarchy, there will be an over the top rope battle royal. A match to determine...
Luke holds up a new title into frame.
Luke Mathews: ...which man gets to be the first to hold this, the Xperience Championship.
"Excuse us."
Clifford Bradley and Dexter Zane walk into frame.
Dexter Zane: Run along little girl, it's our time to ask questions.
Luke Mathews: You be nice to Caitlin, she's a lovely young lady.
Caitlin smiles at the comment.
Dexter Zane: Me and Cliff here got a problem. Well, more than one problem. We haven't been on tv, we haven't been on pay-per-view, we don't even get segments, I doubt we're even gonna be in that battle royal. If you don't book us soon, we're gonna start booking ourselves.
Luke Mathews: Well, let me start by saying that both of you will be in the battle royal. Also, if you wanted a match that bad, all you had to do was ask. Tonight the both of you will be facing Xavier Anderson in a handicap match.
Dexter Zane: If you think that's supposed to scare us, you're not doing a good job. We'll show you.
Dexter and Clifford walk away as we head to commercial.
*****COMMERCIALS*****
We open the scene to see Sierra Starr and her brother Ryan standing backstage. Sierra has her belt draped over her shoulder, and a huge smile on her face.
Ryan Starr: You ready to get back into the ring? I'm pretty happy you're back. How was the trip?
Sierra Starr: It was nice, although there was some creepy guy there who was trying to get me to join the Crusade after they port. He saw who I was and then was almost unstoppable about it. It was sorta creepy.
Ryan nods.
Ryan Starr: Well you're back, and getting into the ring with Misery tonight, I hope you're ready for it, she's tough.
Sierra Starr: Yeah, I've seen her. She's good, but I'm the champ!
Ryan Starr: Yeah, that's true. Alright, well, you're up next so we should head towards the stage.
The siblings start their walk down the hallway, and the camera pans to follow them, when it catches Billy Way, who looks on at the two of them, clearly up to no good.
‘Ghetto Love’ by Spinnerette hits and out walks Misery, wearing low on the hip faded pinstripe dress pants, Chuck Taylors, a tattered band t-shirt with black leather vest. She has lots of tats and piercings, dark hair, and ghostly white skin.
Salvatore Pellegrino: This contest is set for one fall, introducing first, from Los Angeles, California, MISERYYYYYY!
She walks slowly to the ring, almost bored to be here, sticking her tongue out at the fans and leisurely climbs into the ring. She slumps into the corner, waiting for the action to begin.
Sierra pulls onto the curtain as her music starts to play. As Sierra exits the curtains, she grabs onto her cape. She gives a smile, as she begins to make her way down the ramp.
Salvatore Pellegrino: And her opponent, accompanied to the ring by her brother Ryan, from Tampa, Florida, she is the AXW Women's Champion, SIIIERRAAAA STAAARRRRRR!
Once Sierra is halfway down the ramp, she let her cape fall behind her. Once she let her cape go, she places her hands up to her hair and ruffles it, then begins to hit hands with the fans on both sides of the ramp. Sierra would then make her way up the stairs. She would then grab onto the top rope and push it up, so she would be able to go under it. She then would finally enter the ring and look out into the crowd. Sierra would the go over to the corner turnbuckle, which was the one on the right that was closest to the announce table. She would grab onto the top rope and place her feet on the second rope below the turnbuckle. Sierra would then lift herself up with her hands and point up at the sky. Before she would place her hands back onto the turnbuckle to jump down to the mat, she would use her hands and flip her hair out. After a moment of that, Sierra would finally get down from the second rope and looks at her opponent.
vs. 
Sierra Starr and Misery made the absolute best out of this match. Some of the better highlights of the bout included:
-A running Crossbody attempt by Misery, which Sierra was able to turn into a Fallaway Slam, and Misery rolled right out of the ring, Ryan Starr stepping out of the way as she does so.
-Misery comes back for a while with some great moves, and as Sierra looks to go up top for some high risk action, we see why it's called high risk, as Misery is ready to go and lands a nice step up Enziguiri, sending Sierra to the outside this time, then runs to the opposite ropes, coming back and hitting a great suicide swan dive to the outside.
-At one point, it looked like both women might have been hurt by a double running Neckbreaker when both of them had the same idea at the same time.
-Misery takes control, and eventually forces Sierra onto the apron, kneeing her in the ribs and pulling her in, her ankles resting on the second rope, her head in the fold of Misery's arm, as Misery connects with a violent DDT.
-Sierra somehow manages to fight her way back from an unsuccessful pin attempt, and connects with a Starry Night, picking up the big victory.
We head backstage, where the camera isn't focused on anything in particular, it just appears the camera operator is heading from point a to point b, when the sound of Luke Mathews' voice is vaguely heard. The camera man focuses the camera on a door, Luke Mathews' office. The door is opened just a crack, but the camera man does his best to focus on what's going on in the room, but all we can see is Luke Mathews.
Luke Mathews: The death of integrity, this whole new raw attitude, it's genius. You should've done this a while ago. We're letting Duncan get his little time in the sun, then at Anarchy, you'll get what you deserve. But for now, you know what needs to be done.
Luke hands a lead pipe to someone who we can't see, before the camera man quickly leaves the scene.
*****COMMERCIALS*****
"Supremacy" fills the arena as Dexter Zane and Clifford Bradley walk out onto the stage. Dexter seems to be going over the gameplan with Clifford.
Salvatore Pellegrino: This handicap match is set for one fall, introducing first, at a combined weight of 413 pounds, Dexter Zane and Clifford Bradley!
They make their way into the ring and await the arrival of their opponent.
“This is Halloween” by Marilyn Manson plays Xavier Anderson walks out. He has a rope slung over his shoulder. He slowly walks to the ring glaring at the people.
Salvatore Pellegrino: And his opponent, from Detroit, Michigan, weighing 325 punds, XAVIEERRRR AAANNNDEEERSSOOOONNN!
He climbs into the ring and walks over to the turnbuckle and wraps his rope around the bottom of it. He looks back at the referee and just glares at him.
vs. 
Zane and Bradley gave it their all, and after an Anderson chokeslam to Bradley, Fallen Angel appears on the jumbotron.
Fallen Angel: Hey, Xavier. At first, I thought you weren't worth my time. But now, I wanna embarass you again. If you're such a big bad monster, I'll be waiting.
The jumbotron cuts back to normal, and Xavier immediately exits the ring and goes to the back, of course not coming back at the referee's count of 20.
Salvatore Pellegrino: The winners of this match, Dexter Zane and Clifford Bradley!
Between the previous match and the next one, there's some Anarchy promotional hype.
When we return, Tara Sindarin was set to face Meghan Ruth tonight, but she was attacked on her way to the ring by Brandi-Lyn, who was ruthless from the get go. She hit Tara from behind, sending her rolling down the entrance ramp, and followed her all the way down, stomping on her at every opportunity. She picked Tara up, and Tara shoved her, and Meghan got out of the ring to avoid the brawl.
The two fought inside the ring for a good three minutes before "This Fire Burns" hit the PA. The crowd got ready for what was to come as we saw Luke Mathews take a spot on the stage as his music fades out.
Luke Mathews: Enough!
The two slowly stop brawling at the sound of his frustration and stare at him, Brandi rolling outside of the ring now.
Luke Mathews: I, along with the fans who have come to see wrestling week in and week out, am getting sick of this garbage that has gone on between the two of you. It's because of this that instead of the original plan, which was to have the two of you in a three way against Sierra Starr for the Women's Championship, will be booked at Anarchy in a Beat the Clock Challenge. The woman to beat her opponent the quickest will advance to face Sierra later that night for the championship.
A smile comes across the face of Tara, while Brandi looks irritated, then decides to smile as well, staring into the ring at Tara, who is now calling for a microphone.
Tara Sindarin: So hypothetically, what if one of us were to lose our match?
Luke Mathews: Simple really, you don't compete. If Brandi were to lose, and you took twenty minutes in yours, then you still win. But if you both lost, I guess Sierra would get the night off. Now if you don't mind, I have work to do. Thanks ladies.
With that, Luke makes for the back as the ladies stare a fire into the eyes of each other.
*****COMMERCIALS*****
We return backstage, where it looks like a tornado went through. Crates knocked over, a broken tv monitor lying on the floor, a hole in the wall, some blood next to the hole, and other various things scattered about on the floor. There's even Craig Brooks lying on the floor, when Gavin Carpenter walks up to him.
Gavin Carpenter: Craig! Craig, what the hell happened?
Craig starts to stir.
Craig Brooks: They.... they.... happened.
Gavin Carpenter: Who? Who's they?
Craig Brooks: They... the--the....
Craig passes back out.
Gavin Carpenter: God dammit, Craig!
Gavin slaps Craig, to which Craig re-awakens.
Gavin Carpenter: What happened, Craig?
Craig Brooks: Xa... Xavier Anderson. Fallen Angel. Ga-Gavin?
Gavin Carpenter: Yes, Craig?
Craig Brooks: I'm... I'm not gonna make it...
Gavin Carpenter: What?
Craig Brooks: I need... I need...
Gavin Carpenter: What do you need?
Craig Brooks: I need... Twinkies...
Gavin Carpenter: For Christ's sake, Craig.
Gavin just walks away while Craig passes out again.
Mike Vincent: It looks as if Craig got caught in the crosshairs of Fallen Angel and Xavier Anderson.
Benji Mathews: It was clearly Twinkie deprivation.
Mike Vincent: Well nonetheless, it's main event time!
“Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi (Carmina Burana)” by Nota Profana begins to dynamically ring through the air as the lights dim and a curtain of golden sparks falls and blankets the entrance way. After the drums roll and the music settles into its next phase, the spark curtains begin to move to the sides to reveal James Galleon standing and smiling smugly in the entrance way wearing some fancy-looking blue robes. He walks down the ramp, spinning a few times to make sure that the audience is admiring his presence as a golden fireworks display goes off on the ramp behind him.
Salvatore Pellegrino: This is your main event set for one fall! Introducing first, from London, England, weighing 235 pounds, "Diamond" JAAAAAAAMES GALLEEEOOONN!
He makes his way down to the ring, being sure to flirt with a couple of women and occasionally mouthing off to people in the audience and the ringside crew. Once he gets to the ring, he quickly makes his way up the stairs and along the apron, ducking between the ropes and spinning once again in the center of the ring before bending down on one knee and delivering a very regal looking bow with a smug grin on his face. He goes to his corner and jumps up onto the turnbuckle, raising his arms out arrogantly before taking his spot to start the match.
"Playing The Saint" by Digital Summer blares as ice blue strobelights pulse and flash. Aries emerges in his taped wrists, and ice blue leather pants with a spade printed on each leg. Aries looks out at the crowd who give him a mixed reaction, bumps his fists together and walks down the ramp to the ring.
Salvatore Pellegrino: And his opponent, from San Diego, California, weighing 238 pounds, he is the AXW Champion, "The Spade" DUNCAAAAAN AAAAARRRIIIEESS!
He slides under the ropes into the ring and leaps up onto a turnbuckle, another look at the crowd, before jumping off and throwing some kicks and punches as his music fades.
vs. 
The referee checks to see if both competitors are ready before signalling the bell. We hear James talking trash to Duncan and our AXW champion is trying to keep his cool. Galleon then pokes Duncan’s chest couple of times, stating that Duncan is nothing more but a disgrace to the AXW championship and he should have been champion. Eventually Aries has enough of James galleon’s tactics and unleashes a powerful slap that got the self proclaimed Prince tumbling to his feet. The crowd laughs and at James, who is blushing in embarrassment and yelling at the referee that Duncan disrespect him. Duncan just rolls his eyes and demands that James stops playing around and get on with the match already. James mutters a curse word under his breath before the two wrestlers finally lock up. James quickly gets the AXW champion in a side headlock and wrenches it a bit. Duncan manages to slip out of the hold and gets James Galleon in a waist lock. James elbows out of it before he snapmares Duncan. James makes sure that Duncan is on a seated position before running to the ropes. James goes for a running boot to the head but Duncan lays down at the last minute and schools boy Galleon. Galleon kicks out easily and both competitors are on their feet. James Galleon fires off with a clothesline, but Duncan sees it coming and ducks underneath before hitting a jumping neckbreaker. Duncan wastes no time and runs to the ropes before springboarding and performing a moonsault. James moves out of the way, but Duncan lands on his feet. James runs and goes for the Hall of the Mountain King, but again Duncan Aries manages to counter it, slamming James hard to the canvas with a spinebuster. Duncan then grabs a hold both of Galleon’s legs and then goes for the sharpshooter, Before Aries can properly apply the deadly submission, Galleon successfully kicks Duncan away from him before he scurried to the ropes. Galleon tugs on the ropes and waits for the referee to back up the ever persistent Duncan Aries which annoys the crowd.
Benji Mathews: Duncan being very disrespectful to our king.
Mike Vincent: I'm pretty sure he's not a real king.
Benji Mathews: That's like saying Joseph King is not a real king when we all know he is.
Mike Vincent: Isn't that a joke though? His name is Joe King after all.
Galleon slowly gets to his feet and eyes Aries closely, who is also staring back at him intensely. Galleon asks for a lockup once more and Duncan obliges. Before they fully lock hands, Galleon switches strategy and kicks Duncan on the torso. Galleon then clubs Duncan on the back a couple of time and elbows the back of Duncan’s neck. Galleon takes a second to taunt to the fans, generating boos from them before getting Duncan to a vertical base. James then applies a Full Nelson hold and we hear the champion screaming in pain for the first time in this match. The crowd cheers for Duncan, urging him to break the hold and James Galleon is shouting at the fans to shut up. Just when it looks like Duncan is about to power out of the submission; James decides to hit a releasing dragon suplex and launches Aries across the ring and his neck awkward lands on the bottom ropes! The crowd and even the announcers cringe at the sight of that move whereas James Galleon is grinning ear to ear.
Galleon then baseball slides Aries, making Aries drop to outside like a sack of potatoes. Aries is squirming in pain as the referee starts the twenty count.

Aries is trying to get to his feet with the use of the apron. Galleon realizes that the fighting champion won’t stay down so he decides to slide out of the ring. Galleon throws a haymaker, but Aries blocks it and throws a haymaker of his own which connects. We have a brawl outside of the ring with Aries winning the war as the referee is telling the two competitors to get back to the ring. Aries then attempts to whips Galleon to the ring post, but Galleon reverse it and send Aries head collides to the ring post, making a sickening thud sound! Aries recoils back and Galleon throws Aries to the barricade, making sure that the neck takes most of the impact! Once again the crowd are cringing and Galleon raises his fist up in the air. Galleon then picks up Aries and rolls him to the ring, breaking the referee count, which reached 17. Galleon takes his time to enter the ring, watching his handy work in admiration. Just when Galleon is about to pick up Aries, Aries sneaks in with a small package pin catching his opponent by surprise!

Galleon kicks out in time. Galleon slams his fist on the mat, can’t believe that he almost lost the match. Before Aries can get to his feet, Galleon hits him with a nice shining wizard, right to the temple.

Benji Mathews: The king wins!
Mike Vincent: No! The champ kicks out!
Kickout! Unbelievable. We can see that Galleon is getting frustrated, thinking to himself what he can do to get the victory. James Galleon then gets the groggily Aries to his feet and we hear him visibly telling Aries that he is nothing but a fraud and gives him a couple of wake up slaps. This seems to snap Aries back in to reality as he respond with a Pele kick! Out of nowhere! Galleon is on spaghetti legs as Aries tries to recollect himself, feeling the energy from the crowd cheering him on. Aries connects with boxing hooks and european uppercuts. Aries is alternating with these powerful strikes before ending it off with a roundhouse kick to the delight of the fans. TIMBER as Galleon falls to the mat. Aries clutches his own head in pain before falling to the mat as well and pinning Galleon

Mike Vincent: Aries has it here...
Benji Mathews: Don't count our king out!
The Future King gets his shoulder up in time but that doesn't seem to phase Aries. Aries gets Galleon to his feet and Irish whips him to the ropes. Galleon reverses it and whips Aries to the ropes instead. Aries jumps on the ropes and twists his body, looking for the Enter Gideon kick...but Galleon catches him and hits him with the fall away slam and once again Aries is flying across the ring! Galleon rushes over to cover the champion.
1...
Benji Mathews: Come on...
2...
Benji Mathews: Come on...
Mike Vincent: Nope, Aries got his foot on the rope!
Benji Mathews: What a dumb rule.
Aries got his foot on the ropes! Galleon is about to lose his damn mind. Galleon gets up and signals for the end of the match. Galleon then hoists Aries to a Gory Special, looking for the O Fortuna! Aries slips out of it in time and runs to the ropes. Galleon turns around, only to be meet with the Enter Gideon! The fans pops loudly as they know what is coming next. Duncan Aries shakes off the cobwebs and then positions Galleon for The Culmination! Wait........Oh no, Cameron Kennedy Rockefeller just slide in the ring and hit Aries on the back of the head with a lead pipe! The referee has no choice but to ring the bell
Mike Vincent: That's the lead pipe Luke Mathews gave to someone earlier!
Benji Mathews: That someone is clearly CKR.
Salvatore Pellegrino: The winner of this match by disqualification, Duncan Aries!
James Galleon looks on at CKR in frustration, until he is also met with a lead pipe to the side of the head. CKR carelessly tosses Galleon out of the ring before bringing his attention to back to Aries. He grabs Aries by the face and shouts "I WILL END YOU! I WILL END THIS COMPANY! I WILL END EVERYTHING!" CKR brings Duncan to his feet, only to bring him back down with a Small Package Driver. He goes over to the ropes and barks orders at the ringside crew, before someone reluctantly hands him the AXW Championship. CKR holds the title high in the air, staring right at the motionless Aries, before dropping the title onto him. CKR exits the ring and the last image we see is a motionless Aries with the AXW Championship on top of him.
