Nick vs Trini Lumberjacks
Bell Rings
Nick and Trini circle for about a minute, and all the while the lumberjacks are getting themselves into strategic position. Finally, Trini tries to get Nick in a headlock, and the match is underway. Trini has him in a headlock for about a minute but Nick elbows Trini in the face causing her to let go. Nick then whips Trini into the ropes and on the way back Nick delivers a huge boot to the face. Nick gets the first cover of the matchup but Trini easily kicks out. Nick then tries to whip Trini into the ropes again but Trini reverses that and sends Nick flying into the corner, where Trini delivers a vicious forearm to Nick's face.
Trini then tries to get Nick tied to the ropes which would leave him defenseless but as Trini tries to do this, Nick sticks his foot out and catches her in the chest, then he wiggles himself free. Trini is right back up though and delivers a huge clothesline which knocks Nick down. Trini then tries to whip Nick into the ropes but this time it's Nick who reverses the whip and sends Trini actually through the ropes and to the floor. The second she hits the floor, the Thunder Storm is all over her as Kat, Jason, Tommy, Kimberly and Justin all get their shots in. They then toss Trini back in the ring where Nick is waiting and he delivers his finisher, a belly to back inverted mat slam called the Flame Thrower. Nick hooks the leg but Trini gets a shoulder up just before three.
Nick continues his assault as he grabs Trini and puts her in a side headlock - a submission hold that wasn't intended to make her tap out but was intended to wear her down. Nick has the hold locked in for about two to three minutes before Trini begins elbowing him, working herself free. Trini then bounces off the ropes and delivers a Lou Thesz press, knocking Nick down. Trini then bounces off the ropes again and delivers a jackhammer right hand to Nick, keeping him on the mat. Trini then gets her first cover of the matchup but Nick gets a shoulder up at two.
Trini then goes for a submission of her own as she puts Nick in a gigantic bear hug - even though Trini isn't huge body wise she still was stronger than she looked and she had Nick locked in tightly. After about three or four minutes Nick begins to fade and the referee begins raising Nick's hand, and it falls a first time. He does this again, with the same result. But when the ref raises Nick's hand a third time, he refuses to let it fall and Nick elbows Trini hard, working himself free. The two then begin trading punches before Trini low blows Nick and then delivers a big-time DDT. Trini goes for the cover but inexplicably, one of the lumberjacks Kimberly gets up on the apron and distracts the referee.
Trini is livid at this and goes to get the referee, but takes her eyes off Nick for a split second, and Nick gets a rollup and almost gets a three count. Nick then tries to whip Trini into the ropes, but Trini reverses and as Nick is whipped into the ropes, one of the lumberjacks pulls the ropes down, sending Nick careening to the outside where the lumberjacks begin the assault. Every one of the members of the Thunder Storm at ringside gets his shot in, including Tommy who delivers his finisher, a flipping piledriver called the Black Thunder. Then they put Nick back in the ring and Trini easily gets Nick in her submission hold, a sleeper/body scissors combo called the Claws of Life. Trini has the hold locked in pretty tight for a good two to three minutes and it looks like Nick is about to tap until it's Tommy who gets on the apron and distracts Mr. Kennedy right as Nick is tapping out. This time Trini is beyond pissed and she walks right up to Tommy and nails her former leader right in the face knocking him off the apron.
That was all that was necessary to begin the assault as the Thunder Storm rushes into the ring and begins mauling Trini and with that the referee rings the bell to stop the match. But the assault continues as Kira, Ethan, Trent, Jason, Zack, Billy and Kimberly begin mauling Trini while Tommy, Adam, Aisha, Rocky, Katherine, Tanya and Justin beat the crap out of Nick. The assault contiinues for five minutes until P Sav, Rachel, Lord Zedd, Tim Washington and the entire Machine Empire (including Gasket) rush the ring and the three factions begin brawling into the crowd like earlier in the evening, leaving Nick and Trini alone in the ring.
"The winner of this match by disqualification, NICK RUSSELL" Lauren Matthews announces but at this point, Trini doesn't care who won and lost the match as she takes a bloodied and battered Nick and the two superstars walk slowly to the back of the arena, watching themselves every step of the way should they run into a brawl.
The next match saw a huge one-on-one matchup between Zeltrax of Mesogog's army and Vexacus of Lothor's army. It was a brutal battle, one which went into the crowd several times, but the fight was finally decided after Mesogog's Evil White Ranger ran in for some interference, distracted the ref and distracted Vexacus. It would be his undoing as Lothor got a rollup and got the one-two-three.
The next match saw a rematch of the battle at Wedding Night as Miss F looked to get some revenge on Crazar for pinning her in that elimination handicap match. She would be successful this time as thanks in part to her partner Kat Manx who provided some much needed help during the match, she was able to get Crazar in the Anaconda Vice, a submission hold primarily used by CM Punk in WWE, and was able to get her to tap out.
Backstage
"I'm Erin Andrews here with the leader of Team BAT, Adam Park, and tonight, you enter one of the biggest matches in your career as you team with your former rival Bridge Carson to take on three members of the Ranger Killers...obviously a wounded group after what happened tonight."
"First of all, Erin," Adam said, "I had nothing to do with that. We hate the Ranger Killers but we wouldn't do something like that."
"Regarding the match tonight, you know that the Demons are a dangerous group by themselves, let alone when they have Scorpina and Maya with them."
"No doubt," Adam said. "They've taken out some of the best this company has to offer. But if they think we're scared of them, they have another thing coming. Tonight, we'll show THEM who is the boss."
In the Ring
As we come back to ringside, we see the Women's Championship hanging from a ladder and it's time for our first title match of the evening.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for the special Ladder Match, for the PRWA Women's Championship!" Lauren Matthews announces. "In this match, ladies and gentlemen, there are no pinfalls, no submissions, no countouts and no disqualifications. The winner of the match will be the first to climb the ladder and retrieve the PRWA Women's Championship."
As the announcement finishes, we see Kimberly headed to the ring, Tommy at her side (even though he would have a match later that evening, he was coming out to lend Kim support during this match, as well as keeping an eye out for any possible interference).
Then, Nelly's "Hart of a Champion" begins, the fireworks explode, and when the smoke clears, the champion - and her husband, stand on stage.
"Introducing first, to be accompanied to the ring by the Black Dino Thunder Ranger Thomas Oliver, from Gainesville, Florida via Angel Grove California, The First Pink Ranger, Olympic Gold Medal winner, and your PRWA Women's Champion, KIMBERLY HART-OLIVER" Lauren Matthews announces as Kim heads to the ring, playing to the Canadian crowd as she did so. Meanwhile, Tommy places himself outside the ring near the stage.
We then go backstage and we see Rachel McDowell heading for the ring, her boyfriend in tow. Even though he would be involved in tag team turmoil later that night, P Sav had a feeling Tommy would be ringside for this match so he wanted to be there as well to make sure there was no "funny business."
Party Like a Rockstar by Shop Boyz then begins and out comes the challenger.
"Introducing the challenger, to be accompanied to the ring by the former owner of this company P Sav, from Toledo, Ohio by way of Virginia Beach, Virginia, RACHEL MCDOWELL" Lauren Matthews announces as Rachel steps in the ring and stands across from Kimberly, nary a look of intimidation on her face. Meanwhile, P Sav places himself across the ring from Tommy near the stage. Mr. Kennedy then calls for the bell.
