We are backstage with David Alvarez who is standing by with his guests at this time, Daffney and the former TNA star's opponent, Portia Perez. Alvarez asks Perez about her debut in the ACW as Daffney look dismissive. Perez says "Daffney got kicked out of TNA because she was weak, and…" Angelina interrupts. "No, no, actually, she was kicked out because—Daffney interrupts again and Perez looks exasperated. As usual Daffney tries to look like a zombie and a hot chick at the same time, Perez continues, "As for Emma Rose, I wasn't impressed. She's just a speed bump on my title road, so I don't see her as a threat. But then, I don't see anyone as a threat to my Women's Title, not even Daffney or that other Canadian…" Perez is then interrupted as someone is standing behind her. It's not Daffney or Emma Rose, but "that Canadian girl" Maple, and she looks angry. She steps in front of them and grabs DA's mic. "You know what David, I heard these two little wannabes acting like they alredy won. But they're nothing but a couple of bitches." The audience gasp in the background as Perez drops the mic and gets in Maple's face. Maple stares down Perez and Daffney as she walks away. Daffney looks at Perez with rage, and walks away too.

World Championship Tournament: Thor vs Charlie Haas

Thor dominates Haas in the early going and the fans are on their feet chanting. Thor takes it to Haas in the corner and sets for an early version of Thor's Hammer which looks a LOT like the Clothesline from Hell, but Haas counters and he takes Thor down with clothesline. Haas hits Thor in the centre of the ring, getting two on the cover and then proceeding to grind at The Norse God by scissoring his body between his legs and wearing him down.

We see that Haas has controlled through most of the mat-work, but Thor comes back to hit a scoop powerslam. He batters Haas all the way back to ringside and smashes him shoulder-first into the steel post. Haas evades contact with the knee and backs up into the corner. Thor charges at him with his high knee and he's confident as he goes for the bulldog, but Haas rushes him off and drives Thor into the opposite corner. Thor instinctively elbows backward, trying to batter Haas off, knowing that the german suplex may be coming, but Haas hits it anyway for a two count. Thor then runs full speed toward Haas, but Haas dropkicks the knees and this leads to Thor going face-first into the middle turnbuckle. Thor's hurt as Haas gets the chance to hit Thor with an exploder suplex and lock in the Haas of Pain! Thor can't handle the pain and taps out.

Winner: Charlie Haas

Impressive win for Haas as he gets one step closer to the World Championship match as DA interviews The Jez and Christina Von Eerie. Jez has changed into a suit as he says that he's never cared for "punk chicks like Eerie" but they had one thing in common, a desire to be the inaugural champions, but now that dream is broken because Von Eerie dropped the ball, if she was half as tough as she claims she wouldn't have let "that two dollar whore" beat her up in the ten seconds between her decking her off the apron, to Blake hitting him with the titles. He says their union is over, so get the hell away from her. Von Eerie is shocked and angry as she begins to leave, but Jez grabs her arm, and says he's sorry, that she's alright, but she doesn't make the cut, and lets her go. After she leaves, Jez says how he watches WWE and idolizes The Miz, and that now the chance to be a quick champion is gone, he plans to go into the tournament for the Fatal 4-Way elimination match for the World Championship. DA asks his real feelings towards Von Eerie, Jez just smirks and says that like he said, she didn't make the cut, he says that Australia is raring for a new sporting icon, and he's gonna give them that, not because they deserve it, but because he wants it too.

DA then receives a note on his laptop, if Jez wants to be in a qualification match next week, he has to beat a local wrestler right now, Jez is pissed saying he's sore and exhausted, but DA says he has no choice and to get out there now.

The Jez vs Local Competitor

Jim Cornette is back in the ring and announces the historic first show by the ACW is nearly at a close, but they still got the main event and the second of the four World Championship qualifying matches, he says it's a triple threat between 3 former WWE competitors, Cornette gets a huge pop from that, he's introduces Aaron Aguilera, Rene Dupree and Bobby Lashley!

World Championship Qualifying Match: Aaron Aguilera vs Rene Dupree vs Bobby Lashley

Lashley just stands there as the bell rings and Aguilera and Dupree take a look at each other. Dupree trash talks Dupree, shouting at him "I can beat you! I can beat you!" and but Aguilera boots him down! He grabs Dupree up to launch him through the ropes to ringside and he then dominates Dupree into the audience. Dupree tries as he might; pulling chairs in the way, but Aguilera continues stalking Dupree. Finally a little boy is dragged into Aguilera's path, Dupree picks the boy up as his parents plead that he put him down. Dupree looks at the kid and just in time we see Lashley now in the audience and he rushes at Dupree from behind to take a couple of whacks at him with a chair! The fans cheer as Lashley takes Dupree down and Lashley high fives the little boy. But just as he's about to go more at Dupree, Aguilera leaps at him from off a staircase and he clobbers Lashley down to punch ferociously at his forehead. Aguilera taunts toward the audience yelling that the blood on his fist will soon be Dupree's blood.

Lashley gets up to fight back and forth with Aguilera as they go up the stairs and around the balcony. Both superstars trade control of the contest, all the while forgetting that Dupree is lurking somewhere in the audience. Aguilera goes over a railing to the edge of a balcony and he intends to superplex Lashley all the way down to the floor, but if he executes then he and Lashley will both face a career threatening injury. Aguilera doesn't care, he still goes for it, but Lashley fights back and after a couple of punches and Aguilera almost falls. The fans gasp but then Dupree pulls on Aguilera's arm! Aguilera drags Dupree over the railing. Just as the two scrap back to their feet though we see a figure bat down Lashley with a chair and it's Charlie Haas! The crowd boo like hell as Haas then picks up Lashley to drag him along the balcony and throw him down the stairs! Haas and Dupree lock eyes and Haas tells him "Go! Win the match!" and so Dupree sets down the stairs to pick up Lashley. He wants to getL back to the ring, that's the only place he can pin him, but then just as he manages to get Lashley over the barricade, Aguilera is back in sight in the midst of the audience. The fans murmurs warn Dupree unintentionally and we can see the Big Man coming through as Dupree sees him storm through and he tries to climb the barricade but Aguilera grabs Dupree and lifts him onto the barricade and he throws him off to perform a huge chokeslam right onto the mat at ringside. Aguilera steps over the barricade to get both Dupree and Lashley back into the ring. Aguilera covers Lashley, but only gets two. He covers Dupree, but again only two. Lashley is in a world of pain as Aguilera goes at him, but then Dupree and Lashley punch at him together. They get the upper hand and throw Aguilera against the ropes but Lashley then spears Dupree! Good God what impact! Out of nowhere Lashley nails his finisher on the Frenchman. Aguilera comes back off the ropes and he goes to clothesline Lashley, but Lashley ducks and *BAM* spears again! He gets off Aguilera to go back at Dupree. Aguilera sits up and gets to his feet. Lashley lets go of Dupree to go at Aguilera. The two exchange punches and just as they do we see Dupree pull himself to his feet in the background. Lashley uppercuts Aguilera and Shawn stumbles back right into a Dominator! But Lashley can't see Dupree as Dupree hits Lashley over the head with a chair and covers Aguilera! One! Two! Three!

Winner; Rene Dupree

The audience erupts in protest but the match was fair and square. Dupree celebrates as Lashley and Aguilera are out of it, it was Lashley who dominated the latter part of the match, but Dupree was smart enough to take advantage and get the pin and a chance at the championship. Dupree poses in the ring as the historic inaugural episode of ACW comes to a close.

Next week is Portia Perez vs Daffney vs Maple in a Women's Qualifying Match, along with The Jez speaking in the ring. Also there will be additional qualifying matches and Rene Dupree and Charlie Haas will face Bobby Lashley and Thor.
