There had been a lot of things to work out with the new show, tentatively titled Team Work. Stephanie had to put a lot of thought into venues, match types, booking and timeslots for the show itself, but finally they had tacked it onto Superstars tapings on Fridays, careful to be flexible for what shows may be happening on Fridays. It was a headache, but in a good way, and once everything is straightened out, Stephanie is pleased with what she's accomplished.

The first show is bustling already. WWE, TNA and ROH crew and competitors are wandering around, avoiding the opposing shows' workers, and all in all things are starting off smoothly. Considering, it could be a lot worse. Tension, Stephanie can live with. Brawls in the backstage area, not so much. "To be fair," she announces after collecting everyone so she can talk to them before the event starts, "we put together the matches that will be held tonight randomly. If you have a problem, we are opened to suggestions but I hope you won't need to." She looks from person to person before nodding and leaving the room.

The event starts a few minutes later and Neville heads to the ring. After racing out, making sure he doesn't trip over his cape, he gets into the ring and waits as ROH's Kyle O'Reilly joins him. They stare at each other, weighing the situation, trying to figure out how to start when neither knows the other all that well. The match is intense, competitive.

The two men go back and forth, exchanging blows and Neville trying to avoid O'Reilly's submission attempts long enough to escape to the top rope, where he can do the bulk of his offense, but Kyle is fast, and recovers in kind, battering Neville down and weakening him until he can barely stand with kicks and punches that soon leaves Nevilly floundering after a hard fall to the floor below, dizzy. Kyle drags him back into the ring and he takes a swing and misses, soon finding himself on the mat, locked in the gullotine choke, which quickly sequences into the triangle choke. He can't breathe, dark spots are floating before his vision and nothing is making much sense except for his body screaming for oxygen.

He has no choice but to tap, too weak to fight out, and as O'Reilly's music plays, he lays there and stares up at the lights, certain that he'd already ruined his chances in this new opportunity at becoming champion. He sits up groggily and looks up as Kyle offers him a hand, reluctantly taking it and pulling himself up. They shake hands and Neville half-smiles, congratulating him before leaving the ring so Kyle can have some time enjoying his fans' response to this. "Thankfully Miz isn't here, he'd never let me here the end of this," he mumbles grudgingly.

Erick Rowan defeats TNA's Manik, the former X-Division champion's speed not enough against his strength and anger.

ROH's Roderick Strong makes his way to the ring once Manik is helped backstage, peering out at the crowd. The cheers quickly quiet, some scattered boos around the arena as Alberto Del Rio makes his way to ringside. Strong locks eyes with him, remembering when he'd been in ROH briefly a year ago, and sneers. They do shake hands, although Alberto seems disgusted with it and moves away as quickly as he can. They tie up and Roderick tries, but Alberto gets the upperhand. Alberto tries to disrespect him by pinning his shoulders to the mat in the first minute.

Roderick kicks out, though, and immediately chops Alberto until he can stand, striking again and again and again until Alberto is struggling to catch his balance, glowering fiercely at Strong. They fight back and forth, Strong now fighting to stay standing, before Alberto hits him into the turnbuckle and dazing him even worse. Strong struggles and chokes as Alberto tangles him up in the second rope and then crashes down upon his chest, forcing more oxygen from his lungs... before Alberto tangles him up in his patented armbar.

That thankfully is all that Roderick needs to regain some of his breath, fighting to lift Alberto, and somehow it works and he twists him up into a powerbomb, sending him crashing down so hard that Strong is pretty sure he's just heard Alberto's teeth clicking together. Pinning Alberto's arms behind his shoulders, he pulls off a Gory neckbreaker, relieved when finally the three count is admistrated and Roddy wins. He tries to leave just for Alberto to recover and kick him in the side of the head, effectively downing him.

Not that it matters, Strong wins, there's nothing anyone can do about it, but it makes Alberto leave with some of his anger quenched, so Roddy thinks it's close enough.

Goldust defeats Nick Jackson after avoiding a few sweet chin musics and confusing him more and more each time. Bray Wyatt ruins TNA's Tigre Uno with an almost tender kiss to the forehead and an awful looking Sister Abigail. Kofi and Xavier both lose in individual matches, Kofi loses to TNA's Mandrews, and Xavier loses to Bobby Fish.

With no other women wrestling matches held in the other promotions, Stephanie had decided on having a triple threat female's match between Charlotte, Becky and Sasha. Charlotte had gotten knocked out on the outside of the ring, Becky and Sasha battling back and forth, Sasha trying to get the upperhand and keeping it, but Becky fights back harder than she'd expected and before long she's struggling out of the disarmer, her shoulder starting to throb down to her elbow. Sasha has just hit her knees against Becky's midsection while she hung helplessly from the ropes when Charlotte sneaks into the ring and boots her in the face before hiting a swinging neckbreaker on Sasha. Once sure Sasha is taken care of, she scrambles over and traps Becky in the figure eight. Becky has no way out except to tap, and Sasha is no help as she struggles to regain her footing after the vicious sequence of moves

Fresh off of his WWE title win, Roman Reigns is confident. Maybe too confident as it leaves him vulnerable and understimating TNA's Bobby Roode. His smug certainty mixed with Roode's experience isn't a good combination and before he realizes what happens, his spear attempt is reversed by a lariat and then he feels himself get lifted into a fisherman's suplex, Roode bridging it back into a pin that Roman is too in shock and dizzy to kick out from.

Matt Jackson beats Titus O'Neil with a flurry of superkicks and a facebuster, and then Stephanie comes out to mixed response. "Hello, everyone," she greets the audience. "I hope you've enjoyed the action tonight. As I explained at the start of the show, these matches will all determine a future #1 contender to any belt of their choosing at any federation they prefer. Unfortunately we can't have matches for everyone eligible to compete, so instead we'll be having a 14 man battle royal before the main event." She smiles and waves before leaving so the ring could soon fill up with the competitors.

Within a couple of minutes, Rusev, Bubba, Ziggler, Big E, Kalisto, Sin Cara, Harper, Devon, Swagger, Jey, Sheamus, Jimmy and Fandango are in the ring with Ambrose making his way down last, which clearly has Sheamus angry. The brawl is fast and intense at first, with Sin Cara getting eliminated early by Rusev. Kalisto grimaces down at his tag partner but quickly turns and kicks Rusev in the head when he tries to do the same, quickly getting to safety. The ring is still too full to comfortably do many moves off of the turnbuckles safely, so Kalisto fights from the mat as best as he can, eventually sending Bubba to the floor with a rough frenzy of kicks and then a lariat.

Ambrose and Ziggler doubleteam Rusev out of the ring a little later and, for a moment, everyone breathes a little easier. Until Sheamus begins attacking everyone, going roughshod until he brogue kicks Luke Harper out of the ring. Fandago goes next thanks to Sheamus, and then Ziggler takes a dive, his hair going every which way as he hits the mat and bounces ridiculously. Kalisto had lasted awhile, and thinks he has some sort of game plan, either without his tag partner there to help... but then he gets clipped with a brogue kick and drops back, allowing Sheamus enough time to lift him up and throw him over the rope, Kalisto whimpering as he hits the floor ruthlessly.

Sheamus turns his attention on Ambrose and soon enough, he's gone too, but Sheamus goes a minute later as the Usos, Devon Dudley, Big E and Swagger work together to get rid of him. Swagger is next, Big E taking him out, and then clotheslining both Usos out when they're not expecting it, eyes locked on Swagger below. Both twins go and then... it's down to Devon and Big E. They examine each other and Devon smirks. "We've already seen tonight how experience trumps enthusiasm, so, kid, what do you have?"

They fight back and forth. Big E is good, but he has his weaknesses. Devon waits until the best opportunity comes and then snags him and uses a leaping shoulder block to make him teeter against the rope. "C'mon, son." He leans back, then runs forward, hitting him again and again with his shoulder and feeling Big E finally about to teeter. Another hard strike and the man goes down, still clinging to the ring apron though. Devon responds with a drop kick and smirks, watching him fall to the ground helplessly.

After that, a somber kind of tension fill the arena as the main event prepares to start. Braun Stowman comes out and the crowd shifts awkwardly as he makes his way quietly to ringside, the other members of the Wyatt Family not with him. He's never wrestled much, very little is known about him, so when his opponent comes out, Zema looks all around anxious and worried. But, credit to him, he walks into the ring anyway and eyes Strowman, flexing his wrist around and trying to loosen himself up. Their styles are so vastly different that Strowman is generally still standing there whenever DJ Z finishes his latest attack sequence, DDTs, and DDTs. When Strowman is wavering, he goes to the top rope and prepares for a senton, but Strowman gets up and grips his throat, forcing him back down.

I need something different to do, he chokes out, scrabbling at Strowman's hands desperately. He kicks and kicks again, finally catching Strowman in the eye, opening him up and sptallering blood all around. It seems to fascinate Strowman because he lets DJ Z go and stares at the blood staining his hand as DJ Z gets back up, finding his way to a more defenseable position. They stare at each other and Zema tries again, and again, finally ducking under Strowman's attempt at grabbing him and strikes his legs with his knees, sending the man toppling down. This is the opportunity Zema's been looking for as he hits a snapmare driver on him before rushing for the top rope. A 630 senton later, followed by a 450 splash just in case, he pins him and closes his eyes as the three count is achieved.

He ignores the pain throbbing through his body and scrambles out before Strowman could recover and try to attack him further, gripping his sore chest and head. Nodding once he realizes that he's succeeded, he heads up the ramp to leave but Stephanie comes out and stops him at the top of the ramp, patting his arm with a small smile before turning to look at the crowd. "I just wanted to say thank you all for coming, and this is only the beginning because we'll be back next week ... and the week after... So we will see you then and happy holidays!"

They leave as Strowman storms up the ramp, thunder and murder in his eyes, but Zema makes sure he's long gone before the situation could escalate further. He smirks and looks at himself in the mirror. "I definitely plan on being here next week..."
