The show opens with Richard Montoya standing on a stage set up in front of the Staples Center. Behind him is a big screen as the press seems to have formed a crowd underneath the stage with security blocking them from the stage. They still take pictures.

"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to today's press conference. In a little over five weeks, ACW will be heading to Estadio Azteca in Mexico City Mexico. We are proud to announce that we have officially sold out the 87,000 seat arena after the announcement of our two main events. Of course, for everyone who doesn't know yet the main event of that amazing show will be Natalia Rodriguez defending the ACW Womens Championship against Sofia Reynoso in a dream match. Also, in our secondary main event, Azriel will battle Jason Sabre for control of Despair in Fight without Honor 4!" Richard hypes to an applause as graphics of both matches appear behind him. "This is already the most must see event in Wrestling history with those two matches, but I am a visionary…..this show can be bigger. Final Destination's tagline was 'The biggest show under the sun" and it was, until Final Destination 2 happened. The tagline for this show is 'A war for the Throne'. We will witness a war for the throne on top of the women's division between the two best women in ACW. We will witness a war for the Throne on top of Despair and Defiance between two people who have been attached to each other for a long time. But what about the proverbial 'throne' of the men's division. The ACW World Championship. Who will Roman McIntyre defend against?"

Suddenly a picture of a dome like structure made out of chain appears on the screen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to No Escape. A dome where the floor is replaced by steel grating. Weapons are legal. And the only way to win is to survive five different men. Four of whom will come out fresh from pods. This structure is where Roman McIntyre will defend his ACW World Championship. Throughout the weeks, I will be announcing the competitors, however we will also have qualifying matches starting with tonight's main event of Rey Pantera Jr vs Furno Moxley" Richard said to a massive applause. "The road to our Final Destination begins…..now!"

(The Crypt)

We cut to the Crypt where Giselle lays on her back, sweating from her forehead and looking up to the concrete ceiling, having nothing better to do. Her baby belly has expanded since the last time we saw her. Her clothes are dirty and a little torn, probably from Furno Moxley's attack on her before her abduction. Giselle hears the sound of her cell opening, before hearing loud footsteps approaching. Giselle didn't care to move her neck to see who it is. She then noticed a giant shadow fall over here.

"Why are you here Azriel? You usually don't visit the Crypt." Giselle said.

"I wanted to check on my former fiancee." Azriel said, looking down at her

"I am married Jason Sabre, not you." Giselle said

"You will be a widow soon enough. Your husband won the Road to Glory Championship tournament. Instead of choosing to fight Roman McIntyre for the ACW World Championship, he gave up the closing spot to fight me in Fight Without Honor 4 for all of Despair's assets." Azriel said

"He's being smart. Defiance has nothing. So he's going to take everything from you. He already took you wife, your loyalist servant and your World Championship away from you. He'll take the Throne, your buildings and everyone who runs Despair away from you as well." Giselle said

"You may think that he's going to conquer me like a hero. You know me better. Last Sunday, I crippled Malice. He can no longer walk because of me. I have control of his child, ex wife and current wife. He won the tournament and made the match, but I have the edge over him." Azriel said

"You can't beat him. You're bigger. You have more resources. But you cannot beat him. He will not be denied by anyone. He will end Despair if it's the last thing he does. You will not stop him." Giselle said

"I remember when you used to think with your mind instead of your heart. You've become a fool." Azriel said.

"I am wiser than you Azriel. Don't be arrogant when it comes to Jason Sabre. He will thrive if you do. Especially since you've taken his pregnant wife hostage. You're hurting his seed by not feeding me enough and bringing stress upon me with your abduction. He won't stand for it. He will brutalize you. He's capable of being as vicious and as malicious as you. You'll bleed because of him. You will suffer because of him. Malice had become his friend and you 'crippled' him according to your words. You're pouring gas on his fire…..you'll live to regret this, before he deals the Final Blow and ends you." Giselle said, causing Azriel to scoff.

"When I end his existence, I might allow you to crawl back to me." Azriel said

"I decline the offer, although I won't have the chance since you'll lose." Giselle said

"What happened to you, Giselle? You used to be loyal." Azriel said

"No." She spoke from the ground as Azriel stood above him. "I used to be a slave. I'm free now. And I never loved you."

Azriel reached down and swiped Giselle off the ground by her throat and pushes her against the wall. Her legs dangle above the floor as Azriel chokes her while looking her right in the eyes. A mix rage and envy fill the eyes of Azriel as Giselle struggles to breathe. Azriel then lets go and lands on her feet, before falling down. Azriel turns away to walk out the crypt, leaving the pregnant Giselle on the floor. We follow Azriel out as a guard closes the door to the cell. Azriel looks to his right to see Aria Sabre with a lollipop in her mouth. Azriel looks down at the little girl who is the child of his enemy. He raises his hand at her, before bringing it down to pat her head before walking away.

(Signs by Nathan Sharpe begins to play as the ACW:Broken Bonds logo starts off the intro)

I realize the screaming pain

(We start off with Detrick Cyrus splitting a Twin pop and handing one to Natalia Rodriguez in Black and white footage.)

I hear it loud in my brain

(We then see Jason Sabre sitting on a park bench with Giselle leaning her head against his shoulder in black and white footage)

But I'm going straight ahead with these scars

(We see a younger Alexis Espinoza running over to Freddy Escobar with a what looks to be a test paper and him giving her a thumbs up in black and white before walking away. Then we switch to color as the instrumental picks up. We get flashes of Ash Russo's eyes. Aldo Montoya turning his head towards the camera. Azriel looking right at the camera. Sofia Reynoso cockily smirking. And ending with Natalia's old look as her image transforms to her current 'Dark Phoenix' look. As the instrumental continues with get flashes of all stables, starting with Anarchy that has Aldo in the middle with Roman and Jasper to his left side. Ash and Lacey to his right. Their background is black and white. Then Hope which has a Silver and gold background. Detrick in the middle with Erin Frost, CJ Hawk, Anthony Dre and Will Ralston to the left. As Maria Martinez, Izzy Solar-Martinez, Mason Rivers and Rey Pantera Jr to the left. Then Defiance which has a Red and Blue background with Jason Sabre in the middle. Malice is to his left, while Giselle is on the right. Then we see Despair as Micah Hyde is in the middle with Azriel, Samuel and Grimm to the left. The Hounds of Justice are on the right. Then it's La Rebelion with a green and white background. Alexis is in the middle with Sofia Reynoso, Phoenix and Sicario to her left. Jesus Garza, Rey Aguayo and Bestia Sangre are to her right. Lastly with a Green and Gold background is Papa Hawk's agency which has Papa Hawk in the middle with Keyra Kiran, Asher Darma and Yul Bannok to the left while SJ Steele, Michael Alexander and Brandon Duke. Ray Kiran is seen the background of this image with a stamp over his image saying 'banned' )

Tell me I should just get over it

(We see clips of Stepdad Steve punching Sicario in the face, Azriel getting a Silent Kill through his wedding set, and then Sicario hitting Freddy with a Switchblade kick in dress shoes at Alexis' mansion)

Why am I not moving on

(We then switch over to Jason Sabre and Detrick Cyrus with a split screen between them in the spirit realm with the Black Dragon behind Sabre and the White Panther behind Detrick)

So I tried to cover up my broken bruised heart

(We then transition from that two a shot of the two punching each other at the same time at ACW Betrayal with a close up on their faces)

Make believe it doesn't hurt

(We see an image of Sofia sitting on the railing on the balcony of Alexis' mansion as Alexis is with her. The two look at each other smiling, before Ray Kiran jumps between them and dives off the balcony with Asher and Yul following behind into a swimming pool)

Say you don't feel pain anymore

(It then switches to the dark image of Jaxon Sabre standing over the body of Jason's parents, before switching to shot of Flynn Horde standing back to back with Jaxon)

All the while you're limping on

(A bleeding Jason Sabre can be seen walking down a dark hall)

You drag your feet behind you

(We then see Roman raising the World Title above Ash Russo's head as they staredown)

I lost myself and I heard the sound

(We see purple flames surrounding Natalia, creating a circle around her)

And then I slipped away into the crumbled ground

(Then we switch to Erin Frost opening her eyes, it pans out to see her meditating next to CJ Hawk who is watching ACW replays while sitting on the couch . Erin's frown turns into a smile as CJ gives a nonchalant thumbs up to her)

But it was just the wind and now I know just who I am

(It pans out to Detrick Cyrus looking at a photo of Natalia in the back of the room, before going back to Natalia Rodriguez as the purple flames no longer surround her)

And now I've traveled so far

(We see Ash Russo riding a motorcycle down a road)

So I could show you these scars

(We see Roman running down the same road)

Before the weight of world Comes crashing down on me

(We see a shot of Freddy Escobar in front of a grave, before switching to Alexis Espinoza in front of a grave)

Do you remember our fears?

(We then see the Hounds of Justice clinking beers together)

We made it rain with our tears

(Roman sits at the meeting table for Anarchy with many people around we use him putting his head down as a transition to Ash Russo standing alone on the side of the road, smoking a cigarette.)

And all the pain is to protect to see you one last time

(We see Giselle and Jason about to kiss, before it switches to the eyes of Azriel opening)

And all the pain is to protect to see you one last time

(The last image is of Jason Sabre standing in front of a sunset on the beach, before we see the back of Detrick Cyrus appear in the shot. The last image is a throne in the middle with Jason Sabre and Azriel in the background. Next to Sabre is Ash Russo, Sofia Reynoso, Alexis Espinoza, and Detrick Cyrus. Next to Azriel is Roman McIntyre, Natalia Rodriguez, Freddy Escobar & Giselle with ACW Season 2: The Throne)

"Welcome back to the Staples Center in Los Angeles California as the road to Final Destination 2 is coming up. The War for the Throne is coming to Mexico City, Mexico, but before we get there, we have a big night ahead of us." David said

"Yes that's right. I am sad to announce that I will be taking a small vacation to find Seth Sullivan. David, I know where he is, and the Neal Deal is going to bring him home!" Evan said

"What a shame…." David said

"Anyways, tonight we will see Rey Pantera Jr take on Furno Moxley to determine the first man in the No Escape title match at Final Destination 2." Evan said

"In a few moments, Brandon Duke will defend the ACW Wildcard Championship against three men in a fatal four way match and also tonight, CJ Hawk will take on Phoenix for a Fate Briefcase." David said

"Well David. Let's not waste anymore time. The Evan Neal tribute show-"

"This isn't a tribute show." David said

"Starts now." Evan said.

Had hit records on my demo

Did y'all boys not get the memo

I do not stay at the Intercontinental

And anything I got is not a rental, I own that mothafucka

"Brandon Duke is coming out to the ring with Papa Hawk and SJ Steele. This is a make or break not for the Olympic Silver Medalist." David said

"You're right. He's the face of the agency and has done nothing. His stock will drop if he loses, especially against one of the next two guys." Evan said

Amusementive Crime

"Skullomania is a guy who dresses like a superhero…." David said

"He's no Damian Crowe." Evan said

Yeah, here we go for the hundredth time

Hand grenade pins in every line

Throw 'em up and let something shine

Going out of my fucking mind

"Skullomania and Chris Wolf seem to have a bit of beef, as Skullomania interfered in Chris' Wildcard Championship match and might've even cost him." David said

"He did. I don't know why he was against Chris beating a girl." Evan shrugs

"I'm so glad you're leaving." David replies

Es la vida quatro vente pistos pointed

Botella empty first ten rows annointed

The fiesta's poppin and all fingers pointed

Irie eyed vatos got the whole crowd jointed

"Last Sunday, Sicario won the ACW Wildcard Championship and now he's defending it, three days later." Evan said

"Roman McIntyre and Natalia Rodriguez both turned their reigns into World title reigns. Will Sicario follow in suit or will he be the first person to not cash in?" David questions

The bell rings as Chris Wolf and Skullomania instantly rush at each other, starting to punch each other like it's a hockey fight. Chris holds onto Skullomania's attire as he punches away at the smaller man's head. Chris then throws Skullomania over the top ropes, before Sicario dropkicks him from behind and sends him out of the ring. This leaves Duke and Sicario in the ring. The crowd boos and chants 'This sucks!" (0/45) as they circle each other, before getting uncharacteristically quiet. They lock up, but Chris Wolf reenters the ring and pulls Sicario off Brandon Duke and gives him a right hand. Sicari replies by slapping him across the face. Sicario follows with a shoot kick to his chest, before Duke comes up from behind Chris and hits an Overhead German Suplex. Duke gets to his feet and ducks underneath a Spinning Chuck kick from Sicario. Duke backs off as Sicario puts his foot down to the mat and regains his composure after missing the move. Skullomania dives off the top turnbuckle and hits Sicario with a crossbody. Skullomania gets to his feet and is lifted over Brandon Dukes head and down his back. Sit Out Alabama Slam connects, but before Brandon can capitalize, Chris hits him with a running knee strike to the face. Chris quickly jumps on Skullomania with a Lateral Press, trying to win it.

Sicario breaks it up to virtually no reaction. Sicario picks Chris up and delivers a pair of Knife edge chops to the chest, before Irish Whipping him into the ropes. As Chris rebounds from one side, Sicario runs towards the ropes and does a Handspring. The two meet in the middle with Sicario hitting Chris with a Handspring Back Kick! Sicario goes for a pin, but gets a two count, before Brandon Duke picks his foot, puts him in a ankle lock and drags him off of Chris. Sicario struggles for a few seconds, before Skullomania saves the day by hitting a Springboard Moonsault, knocking Duke down and forcing him to let go. Skullomania gets to his feet and poses to the crowd, before seeing his opportunity. Skullomania climbs up to the top turnbuckle with his back turned, but this ends up being a mistake as Brandon runs up the turnbuckles and plucks him off the top with a Spider Suplex! Duke's legs are wrapped around the top rope, so he takes no fall, unlike Skullomania. Duke pulls himself up and repositions himself so he is standing on the second turnbuckle. Skullomania starts to get up with him bent over in front of Duke. Duke dives off and connects with a Diving Bulldog. Duke gets to his feet, but Chris Wolf is there to meet him with a Clothesline. But, Sicario is right there to meet Chris Wolf with a Switchblade kick! Sicario is the only one standing….suddenly the crowd comes to life (85/0) as Sicario turns around to get the ACW Wildcard Championship rammed into his face because of Freddy Escobar. Freddy drops the title and leaves the ring as Duke smiles, looking at what just happened. After waiting for Escobar to walk far enough up the ramp, he lifts Sicario up and delivers the Touchdown (Spinning Sitout Powerbomb), the move transitions right into a pinfall!

"Freddy screwed Sicario! After 5:57, Freddy Escobar kills Sicario's ACW Wildcard Championship and basically hands it to Brandon Duke." David Harkness says as Papa Hawk snatches the title from the timekeeper and runs around the ringside area, taking a victory lap with the title as if he won it. Meanwhile, in the ring, SJ Steele hugs Brandon Duke, who's hands are very low on her back.

"The Olympic Silver Medalist adds some gold to his trophy case. What a way to kick off my tribute show." Evan said

"It's not a tribute show." David said

(Hope HQ)

Detrick Cyrus is in the break room, pouring out some coffee into a mug. Suddenly he hears the door open, causing him to turn around. That's when he saw her.

"Natalia." Detrick comments, surprised to see her back.

"Hey Detrick. It's been a long time." Natalia said

"I haven't heard from you since you cost Erin the Womens title back at Betrayal. Then you went AWOL again." Detrick said approaching her. "And now look at you. Womens Champion again."

Natalia smiles

"It's great isn't it. Things can go back to normal now." Natalia said, before noticing the look in Detrick's eyes. "What is it? Is there something in the coffee."

"No, Nattie. Do you really think after all the drama you caused that you can just come back and be friends with everyone again. You left us high and dry! You went to Despair! Talked to Micah Hyde, who is public enemy number one to Hope. And on top of that, the Championship you won….that belongs to Erin Frost….the woman who was your best friend." Detrick said.

"It's okay. I can get Erin a title match and we'll be even." Natalia suggests, getting a little panicked at the way Detrick is acting.

"She isn't your friend right now. You broke her bond with her. You turned on her Natalia. It's going to take more than a Championship match to earn it back." Detrick said

"She knows I did it for Master Pantera right?" Natalia said, causing Detrick to groan

"Master Pantera? Master Pantera wouldn't want this! What you did was too much Nattie….." Detrick said, as a air of uncomfortable silence fell upon the two. Detrick looked away.

"So what are we going to do to fix it?" Natalia asked.

"You're not the same girl anymore Natalia." Detrick said

"It was time to grow up." Natalia said.

"You're right. You've grown up and so have I. I run Hope now. And you….you let your desire to beat Diamondust get in the way of being a member of Hope. You let it cloud your judgement and it changed you for the worse. I've never felt a Championship in ACW, but if it drives you to turning your back on your friends, I might not want one." Detrick said

"I didn't turn my back on them!" Natalia shoots back

"Then what do you call it Nattie!? What do you call kicking Erin in the face?! What do you call going into business with Despair!? You didn't even answer my calls?!" Detrick shouts at her, causing Natalia to shudder for a few seconds. Natalia then grabs Detrick by the hand trying to calm him down.

"Detrick, I didn't turn my back on you. I'm not with them, I swear." Natalia said, as her eyes began to water while looking into Detrick. "You believe me right? Please tell me you do."

"When you asked me that a couple months back when you originally return I said yes…..I can't say that anymore and it breaks my heart. Me duele el corazon. I don't want to do this, but I have to put personal feelings aside and do right by Hope. Natalia Rodriguez, you are no longer a member of Hope. I wish you the best in your future." Detrick said, his voice clearly showing that it's killing him as we see water form in his eyes.

"Look who finally got rid of the traitor." Izzy Martinez-Solare said as Natalia let go Detrick's hand, stunned.

"This isn't the time Izzy." Detrick said, before Natalia smacked him across the face. Natalia then started to throw lefts and rights at Detrick.

"Why?!" Natalia screeches as tears fall from her face as she attacks Detrick. Izzy tries to interfere but eats an elbow to the face. Suddenly the room fills up with people who drag Natalia off their lead and out of the room. "I loved you….Why would you do this to me?!"

And those were the words that would hurt the most for Detrick Cyrus as he watches Natalia, a loving member of Hope and 'friend' of his, get dragged out. Detrick sits down on the floor, burying his head inbetween his propped up knees and takes off his mask.

"Everyone out!" He shouts with anger and sadness in his voice. They quickly follow orders, leaving the boss alone. Maria Martinez watches from outside the break room.

"When you lead, your love life has to come second." Maria Martinez says to herself.

(Ad Break)

(Anarchy's bar, back room)

Aldo Montoya, Jasper Cage and Roman McIntyre sit around a table with beers in their hands. Roman's ACW World Championship was propped in front of him.

"You're not nervous at all about the No Escape match. That takes a lot of guts. I don't know how much brains you have, but you do have a lot of guts, mijo." Aldo said to Roman.

"Jasper's the brains. I'm the tank. You know that." Roman said, taking a swig

"I think Ash winning the tournament would've been a better scenario for us. A one on one match against him would've been easier than Roman defending against Ash and four other men." Jasper said

"I know. However, I'd be surprised if my son let Ash in the No Escape match without putting him through hell. He always gives Ash harder matches." Aldo said

"What if he doesn't give him a match. What if...Richard sees eye to eye with Ash and hands him a spot." Jasper said

"Never. The hate they share is too strong" Aldo said

"The threat of losing Anarchy might be worse for Ash. We were his only family." Jasper said, before Lacey walks up to the group with three fresh beers.

"You guys want another round?" Lacey asked, putting them down.

"Thanks." Jasper said. "So you're going to talk to Ash on the weekend?"

"Yes. He needs to know what's happening. I owe him that much." Lacey said

"You better lose your feeling for little girl. It's time to move on." Aldo said, causing Lacey to shake her head in agreement, before we fade to black.

It's so loud inside my head

With words that I should have said

As I drown in my regrets

I can't take back the words I never said

"La Rebelion's Sicario lost his title in the prior match. Phoenix is already one of the ACW Factions Champions. A fate briefcase could help him add more accomplishments to the insanely good season his faction has had." David said

"I just got word that on the first filler episode while I'm on vacation, Freddy Escobar will challenge Sicario to a Lockdown match. They'll be surrounded by a cage." Evan said

Sever every tie, untangle every lie

Your words don't mean anything anymore no

Never satisfied but I'll compromise myself for you

"Also in a complete shock, Natalia will her first defense against Izzy Martinez-Solare. Sofia has to be upset about that, but more on that at a later time, CJ Hawk is coming out." David said

"Great. My tribute show has a battle of birds." Evan rolls his eyes

The bell rings as the crowd is far more enthusiastic for this in comparison of the opener. Phoenix tries to take the match to CJ by hitting a Running Drop that shoots Hawk into the corner. Hawk walks out of it into a Japanese arm drag. Phoenix then sits CJ up and bounces off the ropes before hitting a Low Dropkick on CJ Hawk, before attempting a Lateral Press for a 1 count. Phoenix gets to his feet and does a corkscrew Leg Drop on CJ before attempting another pinfall for another 1 count. Phoenix straightens out CJ's arm on the ring mat, before lifting his own knee into the air, before dropping it down into his forearm. Phoenix follows by putting him in a arm lock, trying to pull back on it and wear CJ down. CJ is able to get to his feet and throws a couple rights to get Phoenix to loosen the hold before pulling him in for a Shin Breaker, but as he lifts Phoenix up, the Bird of War frees his legs, pulls them upward and counters into a very impressive Hurricanrana. The crowd cheers for the spot as CJ finds his head hanging on the middle rope. Phoenix walks over and does a Slingshot leg drop to the back of CJ's head. CJ grasps his throat as he rolls around on the ring mat. Phoenix tries to do a Springboard 450 Splash, but CJ Hawk rolls out of the way. CJ gets to his feet as Phoenix lands on his feet. CJ comes up from behind and tries to hook him up for a Tiger Suplex. He hooks one arm, but Phoenix turns around and sweeps CJ's legs, before doing a standing 450 Splash on CJ, before hooking the leg.

Kick out at 1.75

Phoenix grabs CJ by the arm and does a Leg Drop across it, before putting CJ in a Figure Four Arm Lock. Phoenix keeps CJ in the hold for ten seconds before, CJ gets to one knee, and shifts his weight forward to pin him. Phoenix lets go before the one count and gets up. CJ is also up, but Phoenix meets him with a Spin Kick to the midsection. Phoenix tries to Springboard Moonsault off the top rope, but CJ side steps it again and does a Enziguri to daze him. CJ follows up by connecting with a Straight Jacket Suplex. CJ shakes his arm that Phoenix has targeted. CJ picks Phoenix up and delivers a Dragon Screw Leg Whip to the Luchadore, before attempting to transition into the Twisted Claw (Leg Scissors Cross Knee Lock). For a few seconds he crosses the legs, but Phoenix separates his legs and kicks him off after some struggle. Phoenix gets to his feet but eats a Surprise Talon Kick (Leaping Spinning Heel Kick)! CJ goes for the pin

"Phoenix has taken most of this match, but CJ has turned it around on a dime after a Talon Kick." David said

CJ Hawk is disappointed, but gets to his feet. CJ Hawk starts to climb up to the top turnbuckles, which does very rarely if ever. Suddenly Phoenix is on his feet and runs toward the corner. Phoenix leaps up to top turnbuckle and delivers a Spanish Fly off it to a good pop (73/0)! Phoenix sits up on his knees and notices CJ's in perfect position for the Rising Phoenix (1350 Splash). Phoenix climbs up to the top turnbuckle as the Staples Center is on their feet, but CJ is up already! Phoenix thinks quick and tries a Molly Go Round, but CJ Hawk catches him as he falls with a Powerbomb, before floating over into a Jackknife pin!

"CJ Hawk gets really lucky at 6:57 to win the Fate briefcase!" Evan said as CJ sits up on his knees and Phoenix sits up, both surprised

"I shouldn't be shocked, but it really did seem like CJ got very lucky. It doesn't matter though. He won and that's all that matters." David said

(Before the show)

Ray Kiran paces...well goes back and forth on a scooter as Asher Darma, Yul Bannok and Mark E just watch him from the sidewalk. All three are sitting down.

"He's being really emo right now. Sports Entertainment isn't about being emo, it's about being entertaining. Seeing a sad fatboy, isn't that." Mark E said

"He's been like this for the last couple days. In fact, he's so stressed that he hasn't eaten in half an hour." Asher said, causing Mark E's jaw to drop

"This is serious." Mark E said. "What the hell is he freaking out about?"

"Being jobless. He doesn't work for ACW. They fired him again after ACW Destiny." Yul said

"So, he can be a paperboy or something." Mark E shrugs

"Mon, his parents said that he'll have to move back to Tennessee if he doesn't win a match and bring in some actual cheddar for the family." Yul Bannok said

"I tried to go and buy the cheddar version of cheese from the mart of wall's with only one L for his family, but they only had the sliced American version. I can't believe the patriotism of the U.S of A has bit us on the behind." Asher Darma said, before noticing Keyra walk past him with a tray that has a pitcher of lemonade on it. "Om my gods. Keyra just walked past me and I saw her knees."

"We all did mon." Yul said

"Hey, quit being a peeping Yul." Asher said

"Peeping Tom mon." Yul said

"That's not your name. Tom did nothing." Asher said, before they turn their attention to Keyra and Ray Kiran

"Ray, quit being sad. I made some lemonade to cheer you up." Keyra said, before Ray Kiran parked his scooter in front of her, got up and took off his Defiance helmet.

"Lemonade…." Kiran's voice squeaked "I'm about to get deported to Tennessee and all you can do is make lemonade."

In a fit of rage Ray Kiran attempts to slap the lemonade out of her hands, only to completely whiff. Ray Kiran pauses after whiffing and sighs. He then simply sits down on the road, before leaning back so he lays flat on the road and begins to kick and scream like a child.

"Okay guys, we need to have a meeting to decide what to do. If he doesn't have a job, I don't have any credibility for my school." Mark E said, looking at the pathetic scene

We cut to Asher Darma, Yul Bannok, Old Man Jase, Rey Aguayo, Sofia Reynoso, Bestia Sangre, Phoenix, Alexis Espinoza, Jesus Garza, Keyra Kiran who is on Jesus' lap and Sofia Reynoso in chairs with Mark E standing in front of them with a marker and a whiteboard.

"Why did you drag me here?" Alexis asked quietly to Sofia.

"To help our friends in need." Sofia said

"No really, why did you drag me here?" Alexis said

"Yul said he'd buy an extra brick for every person who shows up. I tried to invite Sicario, but he said something about real Champions not playing games with children. He then told me I'm a disgrace despite being the first woman to main event Final Destination, first woman to win the ACW Factions Championship and saving the world." Sofia said, before holding up her plaque and belt. Suddenly Old Man Jase taps Alexis on the shoulder.

"Can I help you?" Alexis asked

"Hey nurse. I think it's time for my Sponge bath." Old Man Jase says, winking at her. Alexis proceeds to knock the dentures out of his mouth and knocking him out of his seat

"Okay, okay. Enough. We need to figure out what to do to get Ray Kiran back into ACW and not back into his parents house." Mark E said

"I would like to suggest replacing Jesus Garza in La Rebelion with Ray Kiran." Asher said

"No." Aguayo, Keyra, Jesus and Alexis shout at Asher.

"I wouldn't mind." Sofia quietly says

"Any other ideas?" Mark E asked

"Shoot em." Rey Aguayo speaks up

"I second that." Sofia said

"Shoot who?" Mark E asked

"The President holmes." Jesus Garza speaks up, causing Mark E to look at Alexis

"These guys run your business!?" Mark E said

"You don't need an education to shoot guns and supply drugs." Alexis replies

"Okay, any ideas that don't involve death?" Mark E asked.

"Wait a second….I know someone who can get Ray Kiran an ACW Contract. You know those three foo's. " Sofia said, looking at Alexis

"Who?" Asked Mark E

"There are these three guys. Jaxon Caruso. Ricky Vasquez. And Alex Drake. Those three are Ruffians. They're big names on the black market though. They can get him a contract easily." Alexis Espinoza said

"Great. We're going to save my school….I mean Ray Kiran's career." Mark E said trying to high five Sofia who instantly pulled out a pistol.

"Don't touch me bitch." Sofia threatens.

(Ad Break)

Richard Montoya sits on a park bench, waiting for someone. He looks at his watch as he looks back at his secret service agents who shake their head no. Richard sighs, before standing up. He begins to walk towards the entrance when he sees a motorcycle pull to the side. Richard stops as he sees Ash Russo step off his motorcycle and approach. Richard is nervous as he sees his enemy get closer.

"I'm glad you showed up." Richard manages to say

"Why did you want to meet?" Ash asked

"About Aldo-" Richard said before Ash cuts him off.

"I don't care about your daddy issues. I don't know if you remember, but my life got ruined because of you. I can fight your dad by myself. I don't need your help and I never will accept it. Roman, Jasper, Lacey, Azriel and every other Child of Despair may have lost their way, but I never did and I never will!" Ash exclaims

"I understand, but…" Richard said

"No you don't understand. You never will. Let's take a walk, ." Ash offered, before beginning to walk past him and down the park. Richard followed, signalling for secret service to keep their distance

"I get what I did was wrong." Richard said

"No you don't. You can't relate to me. You were born into an aristocratic family. Your father was the President of Mexico. And you, was handed a chance to become the President of the United States. And you became that after using everything possible to get sympathy. Including having me kill your mother." Ash said.

"Don't go there." Richard warns

"Oh, I'm sorry. I wish I didn't have to go there but I have to because that's the truth. The blood of your mother is on my hands, but it's also on yours." Ash said. "I want you to imagine something. I want you to pretend. Pretend that we're just two normal people. Pretend that in this world, you're not better than me. Let's pretend so you can step into the shoes of a normal person…."

Ash stopped as he saw a homeless mat sitting against a tree. Ash pulls out his wallet and hands the man a dollar, before continuing his walk with Richard

"God bless you brother." The homeless man says as they walk away.

"Let me ask you this, how does it feel to see so many people without homes and the government do nothing about it. How does it feel to see that shelters have to be closed down, because they're too expensive to run and these people- yes Richard, I said people, because they're human like us, have to suffer through the rough winters and harsh rainfall. How does that make you feel?"

Richard had no response, just a knot in his throat, blocking any word.

"I wonder Richard. How can the President sleep at night when he knows he ripped a child away from his family? Now that kid will have to grow up, never having the pleasure of hugging his mother again. How do you think he feels?" Ash asked.

No response. Richard kept his mouth shut again.

"I wonder Richard. How does the President look himself in the mirror knowing that he let his Vice President continue to convince him to never drop out of World War 3? How does he feel knowing that the country bled money? How does he feel knowing that over a million people died, which means much more lost their sons, their daughters, their moms, their dad, their brother, their sisters. The biggest amount of death relating a war in American history! It caused an economic crisis. Why? Because the truth is that the President decided to send ten kids to shoot up an academy and the daughter of Japan's emperor got killed in the process. All this war, all this death, because one man's ego and desire to be like his dad. Do you even think the President cares. I mean, he didn't lose his home or children or significant other. In fact, he made money that year."

Richard and Ash stop as Richard's head is held low. Ash waits until he looks up so he can make up direct eye contact.

"The President knows nothing about hard work. All he knows is how to make everyone else work. He knows nothing about trying to work a minimum wage job with a baby on the way…."

Ash points at couple that doesn't look too rich with the woman having a baby bump.

"The President knows nothing about the struggles of accepting who you actually are no matter what anyone else thinks because he didn't have the backbone to do it, even if it meant his dad would hate him…."

Ash points to two males locking lips under a tree

"The President has no idea what it's like to have to have a house built out of a box!"

Ash points at a group of homeless people trying to build a shelter. He looks like at Richard.

"How does sleep at night? How has he slept over the last eight years?! After everything! You know Richard, the President has put this country to hell and it's people to hell. As far as I'm concerned, I won't ever walk with the President." Ash Russo said, before turning his back to Richard and beginning to walk away. "Maybe now you understand."

"Ash…." Richard calls as he keeps walking. "You're in the No Escape match."

Ash stops, surprised, but his back was turned to Richard, so he couldn't see it.

"This changes nothing Richard. We'll never be on the same side." Ash said, before continuing to walk

"I know." Richard said as he watched him walk away.

All I ever wanted

Was to give you all I had to give

I have always done what

I have ever said I would

"It is main event time as Furno Moxley makes him way out to the ring. Who will be the first person to join Roman McIntyre in the ACW World Championship match?" Asked David

"Furno has had a solid year thus far. The Hounds of Justice has risen his stock and a win tonight would continue that." Evan said

That tan flag—that's all me

That tan flag—that's all me

That tan flag—that's all me

That's all me—that's all me

"Rey Pantera Jr is a second generation talent who has to walk around with a chip on his shoulder because his father was an icon." David Harkness said

"It's hard for him to live up to his father's legacy, but winning the World Championship will help." Evan said

The bell rings as the two men lock up. Furno puts Rey Pantera Jr in a headlock, but Rey Pantera Jr pushes him off the ropes. Furno comes back and does a shoulder block, before dropping a pointed elbow onto Pantera's face. Furno rips Rey off the ring mat and delivers a pair of Forearm smashes, before Irish Whipping him into the turnbuckle. Furno runs at Pantera, but runs into both of his feet. Furno stumbles back as Pantera elevates himself onto the second Turnbuckle. Pantera jumps off and hits a Tornado DDT on Furno, before attempting a pin, for a two count. Pantera waits as Furno starts to get up. Pantera tries to Handspring off the ropes, but comes back to have Moxley catch him in a Full Nelson and counter into a Dragon Suplex. Moxley sits up, not going for the pin. Instead he gets to his feet and slowly stomps on Pantera. The stomps might be slow, but they are way more effective than traditional stomps. Furno lifts Pantera up and slaps him across the face to play with him, before pushing him into the ropes. Pantera comes back, before being lifted up and hit with a Samoan Drop! Furno gets a lateral press on Pantera

Kick out at 2.10!

Moxley drags Pantera off the ring mat and takes him to the turnbuckles, before slamming his head against the top turnbuckle. Moxley then turns him around and pushes him so his back against the turnbuckles. Moxley climbs up to the second turnbuckle and starts to deliver some punches. After the eighth one, Pantera slips out from under Moxley's legs and dropkicks the back of Moxley. Furno goes over the turnbuckles and lands on the ring apron. Moxley uses the ropes to pull himself up on the ring apron, but Pantera does a Tiger Feint Kick, catching Moxley in the middle of the back. Pantera and Moxley are both on the ring apron, as Pantera pulls Moxley up and looks down towards the floor, while setting him up for a Spanish Fly. Moxley elbows him on the side of the face to make him let go before he could do such a thing. Moxley then delivers his finisher, the Devil Trigger (Running Bicycle Knee Strike) to the face of Rey Pantera. Pantera falls off the ring apron and onto the ring floor. Moxley drops down and picks Pantera up before sliding him into the ring. Moxley hooks a leg

….

The ref tells Furno that Pantera's foot is on the bottom rope. An enraged Moxley lifts Pantera up and delivers a Dainsleif (Falcon's Arrow). Moxley then gets to his feet. He shouts down at him 'You didn't want to get it with one Devil Trigger, Satan says to try a second one'. Moxley backs away, waiting for Pantera to get to his feet. He does and turns around into a second Devil Trigger. Moxley drops down and hooks a leg again

"Furno Moxley has punched his ticket to Final Destination 2 in Mexico City, Mexico at 5:41. The Hound of Justice is going to be in the No Escape match." David said as Furno gets his hand raised as Raptor and Aiden enter the ring

"Last year, Roman McIntyre and Furno Moxley were involved in the ACW Wildcard Championship match. Roman won on that night. Will Furno be able to change things this year and win the ACW World Championship?" Evan Neal questions

"It's going to be hard, because I just got word that Ash Russo is also in the No Escape match." David announces

"What? Roman and Ash in the same match. It's going down. Well, this is it for now. Your welcome and I'm sorry that you won't hear my beautiful voice for a long time." Evan said as the Hounds of Justice do their triple fist pose as the show ends

(Hope Hq)

Detrick sits in his office as Erin sits cross legged on a bean bag chair.

"I know it hurts Detrick. It hurts me too. But you did the right thing when you fired her." Erin said

"I didn't want it to come to this." Detrick said

"Maybe one day, we can all be friends again. Right now she needs to pay her debt." Erin said, before CJ Hawk runs into the office with the Fate Briefcase excited as ever.

"I did it guys! I'm getting a one on one title match" CJ Hawk celebrates as he throws down the briefcase on Detrick's desk and pulls Erin out of the beanbag chair, hugging her

"CJ, let go. You're still in your ring gear and you're really sweaty." Erin said

"That's because I didn't shower. I came right back here after the match because I was so happy." CJ said, letting her down as she stood next to him in his wrestling attire.

"You're lucky the police didn't stop you. For wearing that in public" Detrick chuckles

"Oh they did. And Erin, I'm going to have to borrow five hundred dollars." CJ said

"When are you going to pay me back for all the other money you owe?" Asked Erin

"Don't worry. I'm working on it. That briefcase gives me a title match of my choice next week. After I win, I'll make money on a weekly basis!" CJ Hawk said

"So it's you versus Roman for the ACW World Championship next week." Detrick said

"Oh, heck no. I said win. I never win against Roman." CJ Said

"He's beaten you in four different matches." Erin said

"Exactly. I'm fighting Brandon Duke for the ACW Wildcard Championship and I'm never cashing it in." CJ Hawk said

"Wait….but that title is basically a number one contenders spot." Detrick said

"Well, looks like whoever wins the No Escape is going to have a long reign, because I'm way smarter than to cash in against the World Champion." CJ said

"You're a bird brain, but that's actually smart of you to do." Erin said

"Thanks." CJ said

"You could never beat a main eventer." Erin said

"You didn't have to say it so coldly." CJ groans

Malice sits in a hospital bed as Jason Sabre sits in a chair next to him.

"I'm sorry man. I didn't think this would happen." Sabre said, being genuine.

"Don't apologize to me. You freed me from Azriel." Malice said

"You can't walk anymore and it's because you joined me." Sabre said

"I knew what I was getting into. This is the consequence of war with someone like Azriel. Yes, I am wheelchair bound. I have no feeling in my legs. My spine is severely damaged. But I'm free. I'm free to look for my child, Jason. Take solace in the idea that I am no longer a cold blooded killing machine. I am a human now. I have my humanity back and yes, this isn't the perfect life I wished for. But it's still my life. Not the life that someone chose for me. So thank you Ace." Malice said, before offering a handshake. Sabre accepted.

"I'll end him for you." Sabre promised

"End him for everyone." Malice said, before they hear a knock on the door. Sabre and Malice turn their heads toward it. Sabre gets up a little weary.

"Come in." Sabre said, ready for a fight. But then he eased up when he saw Flynn Horde and his cat, Slaugh.

"I'm sorry for barging in. I just wanted to know something." Flynn asked

"What is it?" Sabre asked

"Do you know where the Crypt is?" Flynn asked

"Yes." Malice said. "Why?"

"I know that Seth Sullivan is being kept there. He has the Golden Snake god in his possession. I need to make sure he stays alive or else that spirit dies with him." Flynn said

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Malice admits

"I do." Sabre said, him being the owner of the Black dragon.

"So you know what I have to do." Flynn said.

"You can't go in there alone or you're screwed man. Let me help you. I know that Azriel is keeping my wife, Maria and Aria in there. We can break everyone out." Jason said

"He kidnapped your child." Flynn said

"He's a sick man and the only cure is beating every ounce of blood out of him." Jason Sabre said

"Let's do this." Flynn said, before the two shake hands, suddenly the door opens and they looks to see Evan Neal standing there.

"Did someone say…..Seth Sullivan?" Evan Neal smiles as Sabre, Flynn and Malice exchange looks. "Listen I don't like you. And you're fans of me. But I want to help break out Seth."

Malice, Flynn and Jason all glance at each other again, before looking at Evan smiling at them.

We then cut to Evan Neal walking out of the hospital when he sees Furno Moxley, Aiden Black and Raptor Reigns in front of a car.

"Hello gentlemen." Evan says nervously.

"You're coming with us." Aiden said as all three surround him.
