The first show kicked off with a bang. Pyrotechnics exploded around near the stage, dazzling and wowing the 15,000 crowd in attendance at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois. FAW announcer Jim Ross welcomed the show to the audience, both at the arena and elsewhere, introducing the viewers to the ringside.
"Tonight, we'll be hosting the inaugural 8-man Full Action Wrestling World tournament to determine the Full Action Wrestling World Champion. I'm Jim Ross, and this is going to be one hell of a show!"
Jim Ross gave a rundown of the tournament brackets, indicating the first round would be shown over this week and next week, live, on Full Action Wrestling TV!.
"Our interviewer, Renee Young, just caught up with one of our top competitors slated to win it all, Roman Reigns!"
The scene transitions to the interview area. Renee Young introduces us to her.
"Welcome to the first ever interview for FAW! My guest for tonight is the man who has a good shot at entering it all, Roman Reigns."
The fans cheer enthusiastically, with the exception of a scattering of boos, as Roman Reigns steps forward, towering over Renee. Wearing a SWAT-inspired jacket, he nods silently at the small interviewer.
"Now, Roman, fans have said that they're hoping that you will win the prestigious title, which will be your first World Title in the history of Professional Wrestling. How do you feel coming into this tournament?"
Roman grabbed the mic, and slowly moved it to his face, staring the camera down in the eyes. In a low tone, he rumbled at the mic. "Listen. I've been screwed over and over by other companies. But this time, me, and my brothers, will be standing tall. Ain't no-one going to stop us. Believe That!"
Renee quickly snatched the mic off Roman as he left the screen, preparing for his match. Jim Ross hyped up the upcoming match. "'The Big Dog', Roman Reigns, vs. 'Mexico's Greatest Export', Alberto Del Rio, up next!".
The Aristocrat, Alberto Del Rio, came to the ring, holding a briefcase full of cash in one hand. Offering it to the referee, the young referee quickly snatched it and put it underneath the ring. Roman Reigns came out running, delivering brutal punches to the forehead of Del Rio. Del Rio slid out of the ring to protect himself. Reigns had none of it and immediately charged out of the ring, only to be met with a clothesline from the aristocrat.
Del Rio stomped and kicked wildly on the arm of Roman Reigns, before whipping him against the steel steps. Sliding back into the ring to beat the 10 count, he was suprised when Roman slid in the ring at the count of 9. Favoring his left arm, Reigns tried to start some offense but was quickly put down by an Enzugiri!
Del Rio signals the Cross Armbreaker. Reigns stands up, Alberto grabs the left arm and BANG! Superman Punch by Reigns! Del Rio collapsed onto one knee...SPEAR by Reigns! 1! 2! 3!
"The winner of this match, Roman Reigns!"
The fans cheered as Reigns celebrates, picking up the first win and advancing to the next round. Del Rio is furious and looks angrily at Reigns. Jim Ross hyped up the rest of the first round. Dean Ambrose vs. Kalisto, up next!
