House Show – CCW Presents "Monday in Milwaukee"

Venue: BMO Harris Bradley Center

Attendance: 8,725


Team Twilight vs. The Khan Brothers

If one would recall, these two tandems were involved in the Demon's Dungeon Match at CCW Pandemonium from the outside with the Khan Brothers helping Annie Frazier (by carrying her cactus to the cage) and Team Twilight helping Lucy van Pelt—and by extension Bella Swan (by carrying a table to the cage). That and the ill feeling between Frazier and Swan was one point of contention, but it was a subplot to what this match offered to both twosomes: an opportunity for them to show what they were capable of even when not on TV. With the tag team activity going about with teams such as the Twinleaves, the X-Factors and the Cereal Killers, Team Twilight and the Khans didn't want to be lost in the shuffle and they weren't planning on phoning it in for this match just because it was on a house show. They wanted to show something. And they also wanted to WIN.

What did any of this have to do with one Donald Trump, who made an appearance during the match, walking down as far as the midway point of the entrance ramp and observing the tag team action from there? …Who knew? Who even predicted that Trump, who hadn't been seen at a CCW event for quite some time, would even be there as a spectator, and specifically appear during THIS match? …He was only there for about a minute and a half before retreating to where he came from.

Achmed and Amir got the crowd excited with a fast-paced pounding, which included an Achmed Suicide Dive to Jacob, an Amir Diving DDT to Edward, an Achmed Cross Body Block to the outside to both Twilight characters, and a double-team from the Khans in the form of a Double Rolling Wheelbarrow Suplex…rolled and turned into a Double Pop-Up Neckbreaker!

But on the other end, Jacob was hard-hitting with his Lycanthrope Slam (Argentine Rack spun into a Sidewalk Slam) to Achmed, Edward took his time and purposely slowed the pace with Old School á la Undertaker to Amir, and both of them doubling up on Achmed Khan with a Rolling Fireman's Carry (Jacob) / Diving Corkscrew Neckbreaker (Edward) combination!

Both teams were actually giving it their all, and the crowd was enjoying the action from two lesser-seen teams of Ozone

…but it would all end up getting thrown out as a no contest when Tony the Tiger and Trix Rabbit raided the ring! Trix Rabbit was armed with a serrated spoon and jammed it into the faces of the Khan Brothers, while Tony Big Booted Jacob and blocked a Nightfall (Falling Chokeslam) attempt from Edward…by swatting away the arm and Chokeslamming Edward instead! Tony Gorilla Press Slammed Amir all the way out of the ring, and then turned to Achmed and gave her the Earn Your Stripes trio of Short-Arm Clotheslines! Trix Rabbit turned the spoon onto Team Twilight next, preventing Jacob from fighting back with punches by jabbing said spoon right into his right eye! Trix Rabbit gave Jacob a subsequent Rabbit's Foot for good measure…

…and Tony the Tiger went to the outside, picked up and threw the steel ring steps into the ring. Trix Rabbit grabbed Edward…hooked his head, stood onto the steel stairs…

…and delivered a HUGE Trixbuster onto the steel steps! Edward was left MOTIONLESS…and Tony the Tiger pulled Achmed up…

…and dropped HIM onto the stairs with a Frosted Flake Bomb! The Cereal Killers were WRECKING SHOP, as they were absolutely LIVID, especially after Ozone 41, especially with the capers of the X-Factors and Twinleaves as of late…

…and they would take the werewolf male to the middle of the ring…Trix Rabbit Snapmaring Jacob ONTO the steps…

…and Tony the Tiger NAILING him with the boot to complete the Snap Crackle Pop! There was NO ONE left standing…

…except Amir Khan, who struggled to his feet—and got the steel steps hurled right at him by the Cereal Killers, DRILLING him and leaving him senseless. NOW there was no one left standing. And the Cereal Killers couldn't have cared less about the match they ruined; they came to HURT kids, and hurt the kids they did (Team Twilight were in their teens, but their age legally made them minors under the law, so still kids)…and if the crowd kept on complaining, Tony might have bit off one little girl's head in the front row! Thankfully, his appetite was curbed and the Cereal Killers would leave…broken bodies in their wake.


Tag Premier League Group C Match: Koldblooded vs. The Test Twins

Hana-Gumi defeated Puffy AmiYumi on XX 22 and led the leaderboard in Group C thus far, but one of these two teams had an opportunity to join them with a victory. The Test Twins, Susan and Mary, representing the Brain Trust, were making their CCW in-ring debuts in this contest, and they came down to the ring inspecting dual scientific calculators and conversing with each other as though corroborating their mutual findings to make some form of an equation or formula or other thing to overcome the opposition. Then "Eat You Alive" by Limp Bizkit played, and Mileena came onto the stage…and she took a microphone and explained that earlier she and Skarlet came to a conclusion to make a proposition to Sansa Stark for her to join forces with the two of them since Arya Stark was hospitalized with a fractured larynx and shattered voice box due to the attack on her on XX 22 at the end of the show. That injury forced the Stark Sisters team to withdraw from the TPL…but Mileena wanted to keep Stark hope alive in the tourney. This was her way of making amends and pooling efforts together as one…

…and "Let Battle Commence" by West One Music played! Sansa Stark came to the stage with a displeased and downright vile scowl on her face, which made it clear she wanted NOTHING to do with any such alliance and more so wanted to leave Mileena lying where she stood. Mileena told Sansa that, again, she and Skarlet were sorry about the accident that led to Arya getting injured by Gwen and her cult…and they were so sorry, in fact, that Skarlet was currently en route to the hospital THAT VERY MOMENT. So Mileena was the ONLY standing member of Koldblooded in the building.

…Which of course meant that if Sansa declined, Mileena would be in a Handicap Match.

Mileena told Sansa that this was basically Sansa's one chance on behalf of her sister to get the trophy and get a sure new shot at the Powerpuffs again, where the RIGHT team can be victorious this time. Mileena was placing a lot of faith in Sansa to team with her…to make "Stark-Blooded" a reality and to help take them all to the top of the TPL in spite of everything else in their way—especially since on this night, both Arya and Skarlet weren't even in the building…and Mileena, continuing to beseech, asked, "Would you do it for a lemon cake?" Sansa…just shook her head at Mileena at that quip before looking at the Test Twins in the ring…looking back at Mileena—who was holding her hand out for a handshake…

…and…Sansa blew off the handshake…

…and started walking down to the ring with a rather…furtive look on her face. It was as if she made her decision based on…what she could get to see…or what she could bring about by her own hand if she accepted. But to Mileena, this meant Sansa was willing, and that made her hyped up for this match even more, shouting, "Let's have some LUNCH!" and cackling. The Test Twins didn't see this development coming…but they couldn't help but mock it. They didn't even NEED to make new calculations. Why would they when they were facing a team as makeshift as this?

NEW Tag Premier League Group C Match: Stark-Blooded (Sansa Stark and Mileena) vs. The Test Twins

Sansa Stark didn't want to touch this to begin with (until her last-minute notion to herself that justified this FOR NOW), and she SURE as hell wasn't going to start the match, so Mileena would kick things off with Susan Test on the other side. Mileena took the early lead with a Wrist Lock and kicks to the legs…while Susan tried with kicks to the legs of her own to Mileena. Mileena focused on Susan's right arm, twisting it and transitioning her Arm Wringer into an Armbar with her knee pressed into Susan's face. Susan would apply a Headscissors to Mileena in order to force the Kombatant to let go and kip up; Susan tried a Schoolgirl Roll-Up, but Mileena rolled through and maintained a hold of the arm to apply a Seated Fujiwara Armbar á la Becky Lynch. Mileena took a moment to bite the fingers of Susan—illegally—and then perform a Twisting Armbreaker onto the canvas! Mileena held Susan in a Wrist Lock…but Sansa was in no mood to tag, so Mileena shrugged and continued offense with a Belly-to-Back Suplex.

Susan would fight back with a Dropkick to Mileena's knee before backward rolling to tag out to Mary…who ran into a Mileena Spinning Leg Sweep, then a Standing Moonsault by Mileena, the Tarkatan-Edenian hybrid showing off some agility! That earned a near-fall…and an impressed look from Sansa.

(…Yeah, just kidding; Sansa couldn't have cared less. She DID NOT want to be there.)

Mileena would counter an Inverted Suplex Lift from Mary into a Belly-to-Belly Reverse Piledriver try…

…that Mary herself would counter by Bell Clapping Mileena with her boots and shifting the weight so she was holding Mileena in a Belly-to-Belly Reverse Piledriver position! Susan would tag in while Mary was holding Mileena…and Susan slid between Mary's legs and Dropkicked Mileena in the face, laying onto her back with knees raised…

…allowing Mary to pop Mileena up into a Double Knee Jawbreaker onto Susan's knees…then a Wheelbarrow Suplex from Susan's knees into the Test Twin turnbuckle! Susan and Mary both stood, and the double-teaming continued when Mary Irish Whipped Susan into a Corner Forearm Smash, Susan threw Mileena to Mary for a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker…and Susan ran at Mileena for an Inverted Swinging Neckbreaker spun into a Facebuster, planting Mileena from Mary's knee onto her own face to the canvas! Susan rolled Mileena back over…

…and covered for a near-fall!

While Sansa just watched, Susan and Mary both focused on not only doubling up on Mileena…but doing so at the expense of her face, calling it a "scientific error" that needed to be corrected. The twins placed Mileena onto the ring apron, and after a Rope-Aided Knee Drop to the face from Mary…both Susan and Mary ran into Mileena with a Basement Dropkick (Mary) combined with a Big Boot to the face from the arena floor (Susan)! Then the Brain Trust females both Head Slammed Mileena into the steel ring steps repeatedly…while Sansa still simply stood by, almost enjoying what they were putting Mileena through. Then the Test Twins gave Mileena a dose of Double Snake Eyes into the apron…and Double Hammer Threw her smack-dab into the steel ring post face-first! Mileena's head BOUNCED right off of the metal, and she went flying as a result!

Mary, back in the ring, hit Mileena with a One-Handed Bulldog…

…and only scored a near-fall. Mary tagged in Susan, and with Mary applying a Front Facelock, Susan dove off of the middle rope with a Diving Leg Drop Bulldog! The Test Twins grinned together while Sansa had the most disinterested look on her face. People wanted her to show some concern, tag in, do ANYTHING…but as Susan gave Mileena an onslaught of Facebusters into the canvas, it seemed moot. Mileena would sneak in a near-fall off of a Gannosuke Clutch…but when she went for the tag, Sansa sidestepped away, allowing Susan to grab her from behind and deliver a Back Suplex dropped into a Sit-Out Facebuster! Then Susan grabbed Mileena by the head again…

…and delivered the Convergence, a Leg Sweep DDT! Susan turned Mileena over and pinned her: 1…

2…

…2.8585 Mileena got her shoulder up in time! Even a subsequent Crucifix Pin from Susan didn't score the victory. So Susan went for Kawada Kicks, still targeting the face…

…until one such kick was CAUGHT! Mileena stood up with Susan's foot grasped…and hit a Dragon Screw Leg Whip before reaching for the tag to her corner…

…but Susan stopped her…by dropping Mileena onto her face again, this time with a Grounded Somersault Cutter to the mat! Susan smirked…but Sansa's expression wasn't exactly one of amusement in this case…because guess who else uses a Grounded Somersault Cutter? Whether Susan knew it or not—and she likely did—that put a new face on the Lady of Winterfell…while Mileena's face was aching severely…

…and Susan…would next pull Mileena away and tag out to her sister Mary…

…who picked Mileena up and dropped her onto her face again with a Belly-to-Back Mat Slam! She rolled Mileena over for the pin…got a near-fall…

…and got a GLARE from Sansa Stark. Sansa remained on the apron, but she started to pace, as though she were in thought with each step.

Meanwhile, Mary put Mileena in a submission hold, an Inverted Indian Death Lock entitled the Horseshoe Lemma! Susan would run in and add Kawada Kicks to Mileena's plight before going back to her corner upon admonishment from referee Jim Kawaguchi. Mileena was in a world of pain and trouble…

…but the Kombatant forward rolled, using her own upper and lower-body strength to send Mary crashing into the turnbuckles head and back-first! Mileena slowly rose, walking off the submission maneuver…

…and ran into Mary with a Cannonball! This gave Mileena time to use the ropes to pull herself up to her feet…and time for Mary to tag to Susan, who took her time entering the ring…

…and it was there…that Sansa TAGGED HERSELF IN, which drew a loud pop from the crowd in Milwaukee! Mileena's eyes widened as she herself was SURPRISED that Sansa did such a thing, but surprise gave way to delight as Sansa punched Susan in the gut and gave her a Hammer and Sickle—Double Sledge to the back, Lariat to the back of the head! Then it was a Knee Drop to the back of Susan's skull, a Running European Uppercut to knock Mary down, and a Discus Clothesline back to Susan! Sansa gave Susan a Full Nelson Slam; Mary ran in…and had her punch corralled, eating a Short-Arm Spinebuster for her efforts!

Sansa Oklahoma Slammed Susan…and Samoan Dropped Mary on top of Susan's body…which led to Mileena delivering Rolling Thunder onto the pile of twins! Mileena occupied Mary, and Sansa would pick Susan up, pull her to the top rope…

…and following a Super Flapjack to the canvas, Sansa gave Susan the Royal Butterfly! Sansa went for the pin: 1…

2…

…2.885 Mary broke it up, getting past Mileena to do so! Sansa recovered and sent Mary out of the ring…

…but her Diving Lariat from the top rope was countered with an Arm Drag by Mary Test! The Brain Trust gal pointed to her head with both hands…and then ate a Spear into the steel steps from a running Mileena! Mileena Fallaway Slammed Mary directly into the security barricade next…

…and then got her face driven HARD into the floor with a Slingshot Double Knee Drop Bulldog by a vaulting Susan! Once again, it was the scientific mistake that was Mileena's face taking the brunt…and Susan pushed Sansa back into the ring…

…and went for Almagest, a Hangman's Neckbreaker spun in the other direction into an Inverted Cravate Facebuster…

…but Sansa countered with a Backslide…that she transitioned into a Crucifix Lift…

…and turned into a Crucifix Buckle Bomb across the ring! Sansa went for a pin after that…

…and only got another near-fall! The Lady of Winterfell, as into this match as ever now, went for a Lannister Kick to Susan…but the leg was caught, and Susan performed a Shoulder Leg Breaker and then a Fisherman's Suplex…rolling up and standing with Sansa now in Muscle Buster position…

…and performing an Elevated Cradle Neckbreaker, dropping to her posterior! Susan pinned Sansa…

…and only achieved a two-count again!

Mileena and Mary were trading punches on the apron…and Susan went for a Tiger Suplex to Sansa…but Sansa countered out of that, and would land a Savate Kick to the chest, and Axe Kick to the back of the head…

…and a Lannister Kick…to MILEENA as Susan got out of the way and Mary pulled Mileena IN the way at the last possible moment! Sansa saw Mileena get dropped from the apron…and then took a Rope-Aided Gamengiri from Mary Test! Mary would make the tag, and the Test Twins would double up…

…for a Double Inverted Brainbuster they call the Commutator! Mary went for the pin: 1…

2…

…2.915 Sansa gets her shoulder up! The Test Twins had themselves a powwow…made a last-minute calculation, drawing in the air with their fingers to do mental math…and they went for Dudley's Theorem on Sansa Stark…

…but as Susan tried the Flapjack half of the move…Ami Onuki of Puffy AmiYumi ran to the ring! The referee questioned Ami on her presence as the pink-haired gal stood on the apron…

…while Yumi Yoshimura ran into the ring and WHACKED a guitar against both Mary and Susan Test's spines! Mary went down, so she couldn't catch Sansa for the Cutter…

…and Sansa reversed the Flapjack by landing onto her feet…and dropping Susan with a Cradle Piledriver! Sansa surveyed the situation as AmiYumi were making their exit from the scene, taking Yumi's guitar with them…and Mileena slid back into the ring as well. The Kombatant and the Game of Thrones female exchange looks at one another…

…and Sansa picks up Mary…Mileena picks up Susan…and in stereo, it was Sansa delivering the Lady Slayer and Mileena giving Susan the Kold Krush! Sansa turned Mary Test over, pinned her…

…and that earned the three-count and three points! As soon as she and Mileena were announced the winners, it set in what Sansa had just done…what had just happened…and while the elder Stark didn't know how to handle this outright, Mileena was thrilled! Sansa had her mouth agape, partially in surprise, partially in horror…and Mileena had the audacity to offer Sansa a fist bump…

…which Sansa returned with a fist…to Mileena's FACE! She punched the Kombatant and knocked her down to the canvas, and looked at her as though she was about to deliver more…but instead she gave off a silent groan and walked past the Kombatant to head to the back, all while retaining a face that read, "What the hell did I just get myself into?" And in the ring…Mileena was SMILING…

…and the Test Twins at ringside were scorned, having not inserted interference from Puffy AmiYumi into their equation of victory and losing the match because of it. It was clearly a revenge act from the Tests' post-match attack on AmiYumi (before Hana-Gumi got involved)…and depending on the fixtures for the second wave of Round Robin play, it was something the Tests were going to make the rockers pay for PERSONALLY…


Team Backyard Kids (Annie Frazier, Tony Delvecchio and Dmitri Petrovich vs. Team Lyoko (The X-Factors and Yumi Ishiyama)

Annie Frazier, Tony Delvecchio and Dmitri Petrovich were CCW's representing squad for the CASZ Kaiser of Trios interpromotional event. The Granola Girl was the beloved fan-declared and company-declared team captain, and she wanted to show that she could be one of CCW's top faces in her first big interpromotional opportunity, one that was granted to her after she was turned down for the Diamond in the Mine Ladder Match at P&G, the representative for which was Zoe Payne. Her handpicked teammates were her fellow Backyard Kids, The Vec and the Brain Trust member respectively, Tony Delvecchio and Dmitri Petrovich. Tony Delvecchio played HIMSELF up as the team captain because, well, he was The Vec and he was the most hardcore Backyard Kid in all of Meadowbrook. And Dmitri was the smartest of them, and his agenda was to show that science indeed conquered all; with the correct formula, one devised by his own tactical abilities, his team would emerge victorious. Meanwhile, though, Team Lyoko—or what was left of it with Odd Della Robbia, Ulrich Stern and Yumi Ishiyama—had pains to heal from and stress to relieve, with Aelita Schaeffer dipping deeper into her new life with the Queendom and not only paying little mind to the other members but outright INSULTING them and dressing them down. They recalled Aelita's words that the three of them should come up with a new name other than "Team Lyoko" since she herself was "The Lyoko Queen"…but Odd, Ulrich and Yumi were in no mood to do so. Even the lighthearted Odd was in game mode right now, as he wanted to show how STRONG they still were, that they were TEAM LYOKO. And they were going to give the Backyard Kids a test this evening.

Dmitri Petrovich and Ulrich Stern started the match for their respective trios, and they engaged in a Collar-and-Elbow Tie-Up…that Dmitri got the better of with a Fireman's Carry Takedown after dropping to his knees. Dmitri tried a Bionic Elbow as Ulrich was sitting up, but Ulrich countered with a Spinning Leg Sweep from the mat; Ulrich attempted and Elbow Drop but Dmitri rolled out of the way; Dmitri got up and went for a Swinging Neckbreaker, but Ulrich spins through it and delivers a German Suplex to take the advantage. After punches to the head and a Chop, Ulrich Irish Whips Dmitri to the corner and hits a Running Forearm Smash followed by a Running Bulldog out of the turnbuckles to the middle of the ring. Ulrich gave Dmitri a Leg Drop to the back of the head off of the ropes and pinned him for the match's first near-fall. Ulrich pulled Dmitri to the X-Factor corner from the Front Facelock…

…but Dmitri Northern Light Suplexed Stern behind him…rolled backward, gave Ulrich a second Northern Lights Suplex…and continued the Rolling Northern Lights Suplex combo with a THIRD before reaching his own corner and getting the tag from Tony Delvecchio. Tony dives off of the top rope with an Axe-Handle to the spine and threw up a "V" symbol and exclaimed as he did so. Moments later he gave Ulrich a Shin Breaker, causing the Lyoko Samurai to clutch his leg and roll to a neutral corner, Tony taunting him all the way. Delvecchio smirked…

…but the smirk was removed by way of a yank of the trousers that sent Tony face-first into the middle turnbuckle! Ulrich ended around The Vec and nailed a HARD Saito Suplex out of the neutral corner, putting Tony onto the back of his head and neck with authority before tagging out to Odd Della Robbia. The X-Factors Irish Whipped Dmitri into the ropes and performed a Double Hip Toss…cradling Tony into their arms instead of dropping him onto the mat…and then dropped him with a Single Knee Backbreaker (Ulrich) combined with a Neckbreaker (Odd) to the mat! Odd covered off of the double-team…and scored a near-fall.

The X-Factors continued to make it a point to double-team, showing what made them CCW World Tag Team Champions once before—an advantage they had over the males on the Backyard Kids contingent—and they issued a Double Gourdbuster…and later, a Double Groin Press with one boot of their apiece while The Vec was hung up in the Tree of Woe! Tony was yelping in PRECIOUS agony…and Odd would make it worse with a Slingshot Turnbuckle Dropkick to Tony's chest as he's still defenseless! Delvecchio was still stuck in the Tree of Woe even after this…and Odd pried his legs out of the corner and carried him…dropping Tony with an Alabama Slam…

…before diving off of the middle rope and hitting a Diving Elbow Drop to the chest! Odd covered Tony: 1…2…2.6 Tony Delvecchio got his shoulder up. Tony would try to mount a comeback moments later, but the X-Factors planted him down with a Double Complete Shot, continuing their double-teaming ways…

…but when Odd tried a Snap Swinging Neckbreaker out of Suplex position, Tony blocked it with punches to the stomach…only for Odd to punch Tony right back…and try again…

…but Tony turned it into a Front Suplex, dropping Della Robbia onto the top rope abdomen-first! He left Odd hung up onto the top rope…and then climbed onto the middle turnbuckle in a corner and Diving Front Dropkicked Odd's face to knock him off of the rope and onto the outside! Tony stood up, watched Odd writhe and get to his feet…

…and The Vec surprised Della Robbia with a Somersault Senton Plancha over the top rope onto the floor! Tony knew how good that looked and proceeded to jaw-jack to the fans in the front row, shouting, "DIDN'T DINK I HAD DAT IN ME, DIDJA NINJA?! HAH?! DAT'S WHY I'M DA CAPTAIN! DAT'S WHY I'M DA MAN!" Tony rolled back inside the squared circle…and as he watched Odd try to rise again, he smirked to himself, and shrugged…thinking, "Why not do it AGAIN?"

But as he went off of the ropes, he was indeed given a reason not to do it again, as he ate a kick to the back from Ulrich Stern, who was on the apron…and Ulrich grabbed him by the head in an Inverted Facelock…lifted Tony up and dropped him onto the outside with a Drop Inverted Suplex! Tony was the one hitting the ground hard this time with a groan…

…and Dmitri tried running down Ulrich Stern, but the Lyoko Warrior pulled down the ring rope to cause Petrovich to tumble to the floor beside Tony. And as both Backyard Boys stood up…Ulrich Springboarded off of the middle rope into a Double Whisper in the Wind to both of them! With that, that left all four of the match's boys down…and just Annie Frazier and Yumi Ishiyama on either side of the apron. They looked around…then at each other…and then ran into the ring to go head to head, much to the delight of the crowd! As they exchanged, Annie would try a Butterfly Backbreaker…but Yumi countered with a Back Body Drop…that Annie almost turned into a Sunset Flip…

…which Yumi rolled through, standing up and going for a Boma Ye to a now-sitting Annie…

…but Annie dodged, Schoolgirled Yumi to bring her down and then snatched Yumi's feet to attempt a Boston Crab…

…but Yumi uses her leg power to throw Annie off of her to a corner…

…where Yumi gets up and tries a Yakuza Kick…but Annie CATCHES the foot…

…and drops Yumi with a Cat's Cradle, her Small Package Driver! Annie then picks Yumi up…hoists her above her head, showing off some strength…

…and Gorilla Presses Yumi over the top rope…into Odd's arms as the Lyoko Cat-Fighter catches Yumi in flight…

…prompting Annie to tumble onto Yumi AND Odd with a Corkscrew Pescado to the outside herself! The Granola Girl was making her mark on this match, the TRUE captain of the Kaiser of Trios representation for Character Championship Wrestling…

…but the Lyoko Joshi countered an Irish Whip from Annie to send the latter into the security barricade…and then Yumi gave Annie a Yakuza Kick that sent her OVER the barricade and into the crowd!

As that was going on, Ulrich started sending Tony back inside the ring, for Tony was one of the legal participants (Odd Della Robbia being the other)…but Dmitri grabbed onto Ulrich's ankle to prevent him from entry…which allowed Tony to get up and give Ulrich a Concrete Canyon Cutter Hotshot that sent Ulrich's throat into the top rope and his whole self off of the apron to the floor! Ulrich was down…Yumi was trying to help Odd up…

…and Tony left the ring, ran all the way around…

…and DECKED Odd Della Robbia with the 7th Street Slash! Tony reveled in the impact, ruffling Odd's hair as he was down to mock him…and then his eyes met Yumi's. The Backyard Kid cracked a grin…and pulled out a lollipop from his pocket. He put the lollipop in his mouth, shared some words with Ishiyama…and then offered the girl his lollipop fresh off of his tongue.

Yumi gagged…and then SLAPPED Tony in the face! She was APPALLED…and Tony…was EMBARRASSED…and he didn't take kindly to being embarrassed. Tony continued to antagonize…and he pursued Yumi against the wall…

…where Annie Frazier grabbed her from the other side of the barricade and Cobra Clutch Suplexed her over the barricade and into the audience! The Backyard Girl had both made Yumi pay for slapping her friend…and saved Yumi from what could have been a bad fate at the hands of Tony. Annie climbed back over the wall, grabbed Tony by the head and calmed him down with some words of encouragement. These were enough to get Delvecchio to cool his head and get back into the match, where he focused on Odd, the still legal man.

In the ring, Tony went for not one, not two, but THREE pinfalls, each spaced between a number of furious stomps to the clavicle…but Odd kicked out of all three of these pinning combinations. Tony would go further on the attack with a Scoop Slam, then a Forearm Rake across Della Robbia's face, and multiple Knee Drops to the bridge of Odd's nose. Picking Odd up arrogantly, Tony faked an Irish Whip to Odd, turned it into a Back Elbow Smash and ended around to grab Odd for a Russian Leg Sweep. After a Vertical Suplex got him a near-fall, Tony tagged out to Dmitri who placed Della Robbia in an Abdominal Stretch…which was aided and abetted by some Delvecchio kicks to the ribs. Dmitri would knee Odd in the ribs as well and club away at Odd's back, following that up with an Inverted Fallaway Slam. Odd would be tied into the ropes and left privy to Overhand Chops from Dmitri next (and an interloping Eye Rake by Tony at the apron). The Backyard Genius kept his side on the offensive and wore Odd down with a Gutwrench Suplex into a Side Bear Hug, squeezing on the midsection of the Lyoko Cat Warrior…before backing into his own corner for Tony to tag in. Then the Backyard Boys showed some chemistry of their own with a double-team maneuver…

…Dmitri picking Odd up…

…Tony getting to the top rope…

…and the two doubling up to deliver a Belly-to-Back Suplex Facebuster combined with a Diving Bulldog! Annie clapped with glee from her teammates maneuver, and Tony pinned Odd: 1…

2…

…2.8421 Odd got his shoulder up! But Tony and Dmitri would keep the offense coming: The Vec, with Odd sitting in a corner of the ring, ambushed his adversary with a Sliding Cross Chop to the chest and throat, followed by a Diving European Uppercut from the middle rope; Dmitri, upon getting tagged back in, gave Odd a Pendulum Backbreaker…

…and would try a Tigerbomb later…but Odd reversed it into a sudden Frankensteiner into a pin! Odd hooked both legs…but Dmitri kicked out! Odd rose and Forearm Smashed Tony off of the ring apron…and ran at Petrovich…

…only to get scooped up…

…and ALMOST Powerslammed, but Odd turned it into a Small Package Pin in his own favor! Odd pinned Dmitri…

…Dmitri kicked out again…and ducked a Roundhouse Kick from his knees…

…only to get BLASTED with a Laser Arrow by Odd Della Robbia! With Dmitri dazed, Odd made a play for his corner…

…and…couldn't tag out to Ulrich because said partner was pulled off of the apron by Tony Delvecchio from outside of the ring at the last second! Odd frowned as he realized how close and yet so far he was…and that point is hammered home further by a Dragon Suplex by Dmitri Petrovich! The Brain Trust member pinned Della Robbia: 1…

2…

…2.888 Odd got the shoulder up! Odd was on the receiving end of more pain and torment at the hands of Team Backyard Sports…

…and after a minute extra, Dmitri went for his Knee Trembler, dubbed Planck's Constant…

…but Odd avoided it and tossed Dmitri to the steel ring post to counter! Dmitri hit the post and fell out of the ring, where Tony Delvecchio, thinking quickly, helped him up, rolled him back inside the ring and tagged himself in…

…while Ulrich Stern climbed back onto the ring apron…

…and Odd finally made the tag to his fellow X-Factor! Ulrich came in and took control with a Flying Forearm Smash, a Calf Kick, and a Float-Over Hangman's Neckbreaker that turned the contest in his side's favor, the Lyoko Samurai letting out a passion-filled yell and holding up an "X" above his head to show that things were changing in this match. The crowd cheered, and Ulrich continued with a Stun Gun…then a big Running Clothesline to Tony Delvecchio! Ulrich covered him…but Tony kicked out, which meant more needed to be done…

…and more was indeed to be done when moments later Ulrich Scoop Slammed Tony down and held his legs apart…only to realize that Odd was still down. Dmitri was down too…and Annie Frazier…

…was grabbed from the outside and given an Ishiyama Driver off of the apron onto the arena floor by Yumi, who had come back over the barricade to ringside! Yumi saw Ulrich…and the latter motioned to the former that he needed a favor from her. Ulrich gestured down to Tony and his position…and Yumi rolled her eyes, knowing what Ulrich was requesting. At first, Yumi REFUSED, but Ulrich insisted, saying that this NEEDED to be done, and noting that the crowd was calling for it…

…and Yumi sighs, "FINE…" and tags herself in…

…but SHE doesn't go to the top rope; instead, she tells Ulrich to move and climb up himself while SHE holds open the legs of Delvecchio. Yumi wasn't about to give anybody any Diving Headbutts to the groin…but Ulrich was brave enough to do the honors normally reserved for Odd. Yumi kept the uprights level…

…and Ulrich put it STRAIGHT THROUGH to complete X Marks the Spot! Tony was in a bad way, kicking and screaming as his groin was burning…

…but Tony had the wherewithal to Dropkick Ulrich in the air as the latter wanted the Kadic Shot! Tony relished his interception…and used that opportunity to tag in Annie Frazier, who went at it with Yumi…

…and nearly got put down with an Arm-Twist STO by the Lyoko Joshi…

…but Annie jumped to keep her legs from getting swept…and from the leap, latched onto Yumi and applied an Octopus Lock! Annie tugged away at the shoulder of the Code Lyoko girl, looking for the submission…

…but Yumi struggled…and eventually, after a minute, spun Annie from her shoulders and grabbed a hold of HER arm, turning the Octopus Lock into the Overwing, her take on La Ayakita á la Ayako Hamada! Yumi brought Annie to the canvas with the Overwing locked in, and now it was her turn to rip a shoulder out of its socket! Annie cringed and wailed in the maneuver…

…and…Dmitri Petrovich's attempt to break up the submission was thwarted by an Ulrich Stern Kadic Shot! Tony Delvecchio's own attempt to save Annie was prevented when he eats a Springboard Dropkick from Odd Della Robbia! With Tony supine, both of the X-Factors went to opposite ring aprons…

…and came down onto Tony with a Springboard Leg Drop (Stern) and Springboard High-Angle Senton (Odd)! Yumi kept the Overwing applied all the while…

…but Annie Frazier pushed off of the canvas…and muscled Yumi onto her shoulders in a Fireman's Carry! Annie would Airplane Spin around, Yumi's legs knocking down Ulrich and Odd in the helicoptering process…

…and the Granola Girl NAILED Yumi with the Happy Valley Driver! All six people were down, and the crowd cheered as everybody was EXHAUSTED.

Annie would make it to her feet eventually…and would go for a Frog Splash from the top…

…but Yumi ran up the corner to stop Annie from jumping! The two jockeyed at the top turnbuckle…

…and Yumi attained the upper hand, and picked Annie up in a Fireman's Carry, thinking Super Samoan Driver, her take on the Landslide of Shinsuke Nakamura…

…but Annie elbowed her way free from Yumi's shoulders, landing back onto the top turnbuckle…

…and Tony Delvecchio came from behind Yumi to pick her up in an Electric Chair position. Annie was ready to dive, possibly for her half of a Doomsday Device (though she had a concerned look on her face from watching Tony carrying Yumi)…

…but an angry Ulrich cut it off with a Chop Block to Delvecchio! Yumi flipped off of Tony's shoulders to land onto her feet while Tony fell hard…and Annie, having to improvise, went for a Diving Cross Body to Yumi…

…but Ulrich pulled her out of the way! Annie crashed and burned…and Yumi, rising slowly, prepared to pick up the pieces…

…but Dmitri pulled Annie out of the way to avoid Yumi's Boma Ye! Both girls had been saved by their respective partners…but defense turned to offense when Odd Della Robbia leapt at Dmitri for the ODDity…only for Dmitri to counter into an Elevated Snapmare…

…that Odd prevented by landing onto his feet and turning to hit the Backyard Brainiac with a Gamengiri! Odd and Ulrich make eye contact, and they set their combined sights onto Petrovich…

…but as they go for the DirectX, Tony preempts Odd as the latter is hitting the ropes, his Spinning Heel Kick being prohibited with Tony's 7th Street Slash instead! Tony didn't have long to celebrate, however, as Ulrich grabbed him and delivered the Impact Buster…and then Dmitri clocked Ulrich with Planck's Constant! While the boys were going move for move…Yumi focused on Annie, thinking Inverted Tornado DDT out of a corner…

…but Annie kept hold of Yumi Ishiyama over her shoulder and dropped Yumi with Snake Eyes! One Bridging Tiger Suplex later…

…and the match was NOT over, as Yumi kicked out…but Annie rolled backward…and flipped back forward to transition into her Bridging Double Chickenwing, the Cattle Preservation! Annie arched as far as she could to torque Yumi's shoulder blades…

…and…

…Yumi…postured up and found a way to bridge up and over Annie's body instead, landing onto her feet and getting out of Cattle Preservation, the Backyard Girl sitting up…

…and Yumi DRILLS Annie with a Savate Kick to the jaw! That rocked her…and left her wide open…

…for a Boma Ye—except Annie caught Yumi in a Kiss of Death, beating her to it! Annie dug her tongue deep into Yumi's mouth…and then pulled out…

…and then nearly decapitated her with the Peacemaker! Annie dropped down and pinned Yumi: 1…

2…

…3! Annie Frazier sealed the victory for herself and her Backyard Team! The Kaiser of Trios reps for CCW showed they were ready for the tourney against a game Team Lyoko, as all six individuals got to their feet after the match. Tony, ever the prideful one, was quick to declare that it was HIS leadership that led them to the duke; Dmitri, the planner and thinker, silently knew otherwise as he rolled his eyes, adjusted his glasses and raised an arm over his head…and Annie Frazier personally checked on all three members of Team Lyoko, giving them all gentle hugs after the match, appreciative of the fight they put up to test the three of them. She was showing the sportsmanship on behalf of the entire unit…and despite not being pleased with losing AT ALL given their moods, the X-Factors and Yumi accepted Annie's grace.

But things took a new turn when "Dance Away" by Damn Valentines played and Barry and Kenny of the Twinleaves came onto the stage with excrement-consuming grins on their faces. Barry was wearing a "Future FUSION AND NWA Champion" t-shirt with the hashtag #KaiI'mCominForYouNidorina underneath. Kenny had a microphone and laughed it up about the X-Factors and Team Lyoko's general "suckitude" and misfortunes, while talking big about how Barry was on the cusp of a NWA WORLD Title shot, getting that far over his own family like Jason Krueger, Arthur Read, Starforce Mega Man and Byron Masters…as well as Combee-snorting haters like Jesse Alvarez, Jason Grace, Aries and Brad Carbunkle. They can talk about how Barry was just shy all they wanted, but Barry was getting a FUSION Championship Match (which he would WIN)…one way or another, he was GOING to get that loose-end tying match for the NWA Belt (which he would WIN)…and the fact of the matter was, Barry was more relevant and closer to success than any of the Lyoko losers. Even as Ulrich and Odd glared holes through them, Barry and Kenny were cheeky as ever, enjoying the trend between their highs and the degenerates' lows. The more they glared, the more hate the felt coming on…the HAWESOMER it made them feel…

…but Ulrich would snatch a microphone of his own and scream that he was FED UP with listening to the jackasses talk. Barry (and Kenny) wouldn't look like any Championship contender(s) after one match with the X-Factors, Ulrich vowed. "Aelita can sip tea and choke on crackers and caviar for all I care—I'M NOT THINKING ABOUT HER; I'm thinking about YOU…and more specifically, I'm thinking about how many different ways I can turn you both into compost!" Ulrich looked over to Odd and said, "Don't worry; I can share," to which Odd gave him a smile and thumbs-up.

"Ozone 42, we're not challenging you, we're not asking you; we're TELLING you to come into OUR ring and try to knock us out as hard as you THINK you can, because if there's one thing that's fun for the X-Factors, it's giving out well-seasoned, hard-earned ASS-BEATINGS, OUR STYLE! When we've had our fill…the Rookie Revolution won't want you anymore…those people who picked YOU of all things to wrestle for an NWA Championship won't want you anymore…NICO ROBIN won't want you anymore…your POKÉMON won't want you anymore…and the only good thing about all of it is, you're not gonna be the Twin Tools. No, you're just going to be reduced to TWIN TOMBS."

Ulrich was DEAD-SET in his assertions; he couldn't take it anymore, and he was going to ease his pain by bringing some about on the Twinleaves, and Odd was behind him every step of the way. Barry and Kenny looked at each other…and decided to grant them the gift of one more embarrassment by their hand. "But don't cry to the big-foreheaded Buizel when you're PWNED, Ulrich!" Barry laughed, and THAT almost drove Ulrich out of the ring, but Odd held him back and told him that they had what they wanted…and holding back now would make them want it MORE on Friday.

"The starving dog always eats the most at supper," Odd proclaimed…which earned a raised eyebrow from Yumi…but they got the idea. In any case…the matchup was confirmed. It would be Twinleaves vs. X-Factors on Ozone 42…and the emotions were running HIGH.


"The Canadian Crazy Horse" Psymon Stark vs. Stryker

"The Canadian Crazy Horse" Psymon Stark was in a fighting mood, and Milwaukee wasn't quite Canada but it was close enough for the folks there to be firmly in the palm of his hand. He was headed to Pride & Glory and a Ladder Match for the Toon Hardcore Championship…but he wanted to make tonight special for his lovelies, the fans… He wanted to give them a post-Halloween treat, and also give HIMSELF one. There was just one problem: Psymon liked NO RULES…whereas given Kurtis Stryker's police and SWAT background, it was clear that he was a man of rigidity, a man of regulations…so what Psymon was thinking of doing for this match might not sit well with Mr. Stryker…so he figured he would handle this the best possible way: …Rock Paper Scissors.

Stryker sweatdropped. He was out there because although he WASN'T going to Pride & Glory, a victory over somebody who WAS would be huge for him, and he wanted big wins especially with Regal Rumble and Zenith season coming up. This was a chance for him to make a physical statement to the CCW higher-ups through his actions…but he wasn't prepared for Rock Paper Scissors. Psymon insisted, however, like a sugar-filled child, jumping up and down and imploring Stryker to do it…

…and so they eventually did. Stryker and Psymon shook once…twice…three times…

…and Stryker played rock, and Psymon played paper, meaning Psymon was the winner of the duel. Psymon let out an unhinged, hearty laugh as he reveled in his victory in this hand game…and then his eyes LIT UP as he told Stryker and the referee that by virtue of official Rock Paper Scissor ruling, he got to change the match…to an EXTREME RULES Match. Stryker's surprise became even GREATER with this request…and then he realized somewhere in the back of his head, "Wait…who says I have to go along with this?" It was only a game Psymon played, and there was no real validity to it, was there? It wasn't official law or doctrine or anything; it was just a request…but imagine what it would be like if Stryker beat Psymon at his own game right before Pride & Glory… THAT was alluring… THAT intrigued the Kombatant.

So instead of contesting Psymon's Extreme Rules impromptu stipulation, Stryker shrugged and said, "If that's the way you want to play it…"

NEW Extreme Rules Match – "The Canadian Crazy Horse" Psymon Stark vs. Stryker

…before proceeding to beat on Psymon with his police baton! Stryker got the jump on the Canadian Crazy Horse with baton shots to the face and top of the head, even putting Psymon in a defenseless Tree of Woe to allow for shots to the body and a Mick Foley-esque Elbow Drop to the face aided by a baton…but one baton shot to the face was CAUGHT by Psymon's hands and with a grin, Psymon chuckled, "That looked fun for you; let ME try!" And he yanked the baton away and returned the favor with shots to the stomach and back of Kurtis Stryker! Later, Psymon had Stryker in a corner and hit him with a Jumping Corner Splash and followed it up immediately with an Exploder Suplex. Then Psymon took to the skies with a Diving Clothesline to knock the police Kombatant down. Stryker would be sent out of the ring…and Psymon went at him with a Baton-Aided Forearm Suicida! Psymon was enjoying his use of Stryker's own baton…

…and he wanted to enjoy it even MORE so, so he dug underneath the ring and found a spool of barbwire…and proceeded to do his best Martha Stewart impersonation by wrapping a strand of barbwire around the baton itself! Psymon let out a yell of "COWABUNGA!" and speed at Stryker with war baton in hand…only for Stryker to see it coming in time and Belly-to-Belly Suplex Psymon directly into the security wall!

Stryker gave Psymon an Outside-In Slingshot Shoulder Block for a near-fall in the ring, and then he dug into more of his weapons arsenal, specifically with two traffic cones that he found underneath the ring. He dropped Psymon Stark with an Atomic Drop onto the top of one cone—make it TWO Atomic Drops! Then he followed it up with a Belly-to-Back Suplex! Stryker lodged the second traffic cone between turnbuckles and tried to Hammer Throw Psymon into it, but Psymon slid down to prevent his face from hitting the target; the SSX character fights back at Stryker with a Headbutt to the stomach…that he transitions into a deadlift, lifting Stryker up ONLY USING HIS OWN HEAD…and turning it into a Michinoku Driver II! Psymon hooked a leg and got a near-fall off of that unorthodox maneuver! Looking in the corner, Psymon would later give Stryker a Vertical Suplex…dropped into a Modified Lifting Reverse STO, sending Stryker's face DIRECTLY into the cornered cone, using it against the former SWAT Team member! For the second time, the prospect of using Stryker's own artillery amused Psymon greatly…

…but it appeared less so when an attempt at a Spear was intercepted by a Stryker traffic cone shot to the cranium, Kurtis using the first of the two cones he pulled out to blast the snowboarder! Then Stryker used a stop sign from under the ring to batter Psymon in the back…and when that sent Psymon out of the ring, Stryker still wouldn't stop, continuing to whack the SSX veteran all the way up to the house show stage. Stryker would give Psymon a Stop Sign-Aided Body Slam onto the stage…

…and look off to the side…

…and…give Psymon a Hip Toss clear OFF of the stage, causing Psymon's spine to collide onto a production crate! Stryker was actually starting to get into an element with this Extreme Rules Match, impromptu as it was, and some fans noticed his mannerisms almost being akin to his old 5BW days where he was a heel. Stryker jumped down to the ground beneath the stage…

…and gave Psymon a Spin-Out Powerbomb onto the crate, leaving him flat on his back on it…

…which permitted Stryker to, moments later, SHOVE the crate directly against the lighting grid next to the stage, causing sparks to fly right off of it at Psymon's body! The crowd gasped in—no pun intended—SHOCK as the explosive connection could be heard from every seat in the building (and perhaps some seats outside of it as well)…

…but Psymon Stark was having a giggling fit, audibly saying, "Just like old times…" Of course, from his snowboarding trials, he knew what it was like to be electrocuted, hence the statement. Stryker was put off by this…and also a tad disturbed…

…so he climbed onto the crate and went for the Bang Bang directly onto it…

…but Psymon jammed the barbwire-laced baton straight into Stryker's ear! Somewhere between the ringside area and the stage, Psymon had picked that weapon up while he was being assaulted by Stryker's stop sign barrage! And now the baton had Stryker staggering…

…and allowed Psymon to Belly-to-Belly Overhead Suplex Stryker off of the crate and THROUGH the lighting grid! And that caused MORE sparks to fly around the area, in SPADES!

Psymon walked past the broken grid to where Stryker had landed, and for a while, fans couldn't detect either competitor…

…until they noticed Psymon Pumphandle Dropping Stryker into a shopping cart the former found backstage! Psymon left Stryker crumpled up in the cart and proceeded to riddle him with a garbage can assault from which Stryker was unable to block a single strike! Psymon left the can a balled-up mess…and pushed the cart with Stryker in it all the way back to ringside, sending it CRASHING into the steel ring steps! Psymon would push Stryker back inside the ring…

…and then send the shopping cart inside the ring by raising it over his head…and CHUCKING it at Stryker, the cart hitting him upside the skull! Stryker was laid out…

…and to the fans' delight, Psymon pulled out a LADDER from underneath the ring. The Canadian Crazy Horse licked the climbing apparatus, getting nice and cozy with it as he would eventually need to be for Pride & Glory

…and with Stryker laid atop the cart, Psymon climbed up a corner with the ladder in front of him…and slowly tipped himself down for a Ladder-Aided Splash…

…but Stryker rolled out of the way, and Psymon collided with nothing but shopping cart instead! Stryker stood up, blearily grabbed Psymon…and connected with a Fisherman Buster onto the ladder instead! Stryker covered Psymon Stark: 1…

2…

…2.8987 Psymon got his shoulder up!

Stryker would near take Psymon's face off with a ladder fulcrum smash, placing the ladder onto the shopping cart and pushing one end of it, sending the other end FLYING into Psymon's face and nose! It was almost the Joey Mercury treatment for the Canadian Crazy Horse…though he wasn't bloodied…

…and Stryker went outside to grab a railroad crossing sign…and a do not enter sign. He placed the railroad crossing sign underneath Psymon's head…raised the do not enter sign…

…and drove it down HARD with a Traffic Sign Con-Chair-To! Some may even call it a ConSIGNment instead, considering what were used to make the maneuver happen…

…but when Stryker pinned Psymon, he only achieved a near-fall! Stryker went for the Colt .45 to finish Psymon off…but Psymon broke out of it and kicked Stryker with a Jumping Enzuigiri! Stryker was dazed, but still managed to get a hold of his railroad crossing sign…

…and swung it at Psymon—only for the latter to dodge it and give Stryker a Sky High Powerbomb onto the ladder! One Starkness Falls from Psymon later—delivered ONTO the railroad crossing sign…

…and the match…was NOT over as Stryker kicked out! Psymon was having fun with this, but he needed to find a way to win…so he went to the outside and grabbed a table, much to the crowd's pleasure! Psymon would set the table up on the outside of the ring, and with himself and Stryker on the apron, he went for the Psymonizer…

…but Stryker escaped and gave Psymon one punch to the face…

…and suddenly, next thing anyone knew, there was a GASH on Psymon's forehead. The punch was apparently deceptively powerful…

…OR…Stryker had his fist covered with a pair of handcuffs! He had rocked Psymon with the weapon out of nowhere…before picking Psymon up in a Fireman's Carry and giving him a Death Valley Bomb off of the apron through the table! Both men were down for several seconds, the crowd chanting, "THIS IS HARDCORE! (clap clap clap-clap-clap) THIS IS HARDCORE! (clap clap clap-clap-clap)" Eventually, Stryker pushed Psymon back into the ring…

…and pinned him for 1…

2…

…2.935 Psymon kicked out! Stryker was stunned…and after this near-fall, his expression started to grow more intolerant to this…

…and he placed the handcuffs onto Psymon's wrists, putting his hands behind his own back. Psymon was now being left without any means of raising his hands up to protect his bleeding face…

…which permitted Stryker to completely go to town with the do not enter sign, giving Psymon five VICIOUS shots to the face with it! Then he picked up what was left of the traffic cone beside him and blasted THAT upside Psymon's skull three consecutive times, more blood being spilled! Then…Stryker bludgeoned Psymon's head with a STEEL CHAIR, four shots from THAT sending Psymon even deeper into la-la land! Stryker wasn't even done though, as he picked up a kendo stick from the outside and beat Psymon down relentlessly with THAT weapon! There were cuts, bruises and welts EVERYWHERE…and Stryker made it more painful for the snowboarder with an Enfield, his Spinning Side Slam Backbreaker!

Stryker then picked up the shopping cart…and with Psymon on his knees he was about to crown his foe with the cart HIGH above his head in both hands…

…but Psymon kept it from happening by jumping up and suddenly Spinning Heel Kicking Stryker in the face! That causes Stryker to drop the shopping cart behind him…

…and allows Psymon, handcuffed and all, to crawl INTO the shopping cart from the back end of it as it's laid down. Psymon then stands up, now WEARING the shopping cart…and he uses his own body and the cart with it to issue Cart-Aided Shoulder Blocks and a Cart-Aided Spear to Stryker! With Stryker down and writhing, Psymon removed the cart from his person…sat down, brought his wrists and hands from behind his back to the underside of his legs…past his feet and in front of him…

…where he munched on the chain link between the cuffs and ate it until it broke! His hands were freed, and that was bad news for Stryker, because this grinning madman was ready to take over with a Flying Clothesline, a Sit-Down Powerbomb, and a Diving Splash from the top rope! Stryker, however, was not finished, as he would block another Psymonizer try with a Swinging Neckbreaker. Then Stryker went to the middle rope and delivered a Tornado DDT to Psymon onto the steel chair…for one more near-fall!

In the end, both Psymon and Stryker were trading punches onto the ladder…

…and ONE HARD PUNCH from Stryker…

…did NOT knock Psymon off…as Psymon came back with a Throat Thrust…then Head Slammed Stryker onto the top of the ladder…

…and then hooked him up…lifted him…folded him…

…and threw Stryker off of the top of the ladder with a Near-Death Experience from the ladder onto the shopping cart! Stryker was DESTROYED by that maneuver…

…and THAT was the one that allowed Psymon to pick up the victory by pin! Milwaukee was unsettled and yet equally appreciative and enthralled with the brutality they witnessed, giving both men applause but chanting specifically for Psymon, who gave people a taste of what was coming from him in Steelport. He stuck his tongue out and mugged for a few fans before exiting…and Stryker needed some assistance to head to the back himself, but he kept his head high as well…or at least as high as his neck would let him go. That Near-Death Experience onto the shopping cart HURT…


"The Roman Emperor" Caesar (w/ Lucius Aemilius Paullus) vs. 5BW Tag Team Champion Chuggaaconroy

If one followed FUSION, he or she would know that "The Roman Emperor" Gaius Julius Caesar was having quite the issue with YouTube personalities. In fact, you could say he despised them and everything they stood for. It went FAR beyond them wanting to take away his place as the Emperor of FUSION. They irked him deeply, rubbed him the wrong way… They were crude, crass, unrefined plebeians who took pride in throwing feces into the world, while he was a man responsible for government, aqueducts, contributions that were WORTHWHILE. The "popularity" of these YouTubers notwithstanding, they needed to know their place: UNDER Caesar. Lucius Aemilius Paullus made the declaration…but that didn't stop the Milwaukee crowd from exploding when "Dalton Wants It Now" by Adam Massacre played! Caesar's opponent was one-third of the Freebird Ruling 5BW Tag Team Champions, Emiliano Rodolfo Rosales-Birou, better known as Chuggaaconroy of The Runaway Guys! Emile represented the YouTube LPer community, and as one of the most popular Let's Players out there, that painted a heavy target in the mind of Caesar. But to Chugga, this match was not just a shot at fighting for YouTube… It was his time, even on a house show, to demonstrate what he brought to the 5BW table, what he would bring to the CCW table, what he and TRG were all about…and all against one of Ozone's best grapplers, if not its best pure grappler.

Caesar and Chugga engaged in a Greco-Roman Knuckle Lock to start to match…and Caesar got the better of it, putting Emile on his back…but Chugga pushed Caesar's chest with his feet, kneeled onto the Roman Emperor's shoulders, backflipped back to the canvas and Arm Dragged Caesar across the ring. Chugga would follow it up with a second Arm Drag…but not a third, as Caesar swiped his own arm away and countered with a Kneelift to the head. Caesar went to work from there with a Butterfly Suplex that he would roll into an Elevated Butterfly Lock…that Chuggaaconroy managed to kick his feet to the mat from, free himself and trip Caesar into a Jackknife Pin for a near-fall…as Caesar rolled over, stood, and tried a Gutwrench Suplex…that Chugga countered by ending around with a Schoolboy…that he turned into a Leg Drop Stump Puller, folding Caesar up with his legs behind his head by leaping onto the backs of the FUSION Champion's thighs! Emile kept the offense coming with a Dropkick to the back of Caesar's head.

Emile prevented an attempt from Caesar to T-Bone Suplex him as both men were standing on the apron…and the Runaway Guy stepped on Caesar's toes, slid on his back across the apron between Caesar's legs, stood up and gave Julius Caesar a Backslide Driver onto the ring apron! Chugga stayed on Caesar, much to the delight of Milwaukee, with a Rolling Hurricanrana off of the apron…that he stood up with Caesar from and turned into a Leg Drop Bulldog onto the arena floor! Chugga was proud of his "lucha" skills, proving his Mexican heritage…so to speak. He would even throw in a Frog Splash from the top rope onto Caesar back in the ring for a near-fall.

Chugga showed off more of his "lineage" with a Suplex…rolling to his feet…and then a second Suplex…rolling again…

…but his third Suplex of the Three Amigos is blocked and reversed with a HARSH Snap Suplex by Caesar, rolling to his feet…then a Fisherman's Suplex, rolling to his feet again…then a Front Suplex, again rolling…and finally a Drop Suplex! As Chugga got up, clutching his back, the Roman Emperor bum-rushed him with a Shoulder Tackle, followed by a Big Splash off of the ropes! Caesar had a scowl on his face; if there was one thing Caesar didn't like, it was BEING Suplexed instead of doing the Suplexing. And from a YouTuber? Oh no, THAT wasn't going to sit very well…

Caesar did his best to put Chuggaaconroy through a ringer with what followed, a Tabletop Suplex and a VICIOUS Face Stomp being amongst the attacks. Caesar raised an arm in dominance, while Aemilius Paullus proclaimed that Caesar was a dignified grappler while Chuggaaconroy was a shoddy internet ruffian who didn't even merit a bath in Roman latrine water. Caesar Hammer Threw Chugga into a corner, where Emile bounced off of the turnbuckles and fell to the canvas in pain. Chuggaaconroy stood up, and Caesar rammed into him with a myriad of Polish Hammers to the chest. But Chugga made an attempt to fight back, landing on his feet from a Cravate Suplex try and turning around to give Caesar a big Enzuigiri! He would Dropkick Caesar and head to the top rope…

…where he was met by Caesar who ran up, snagged him and THREW him into the sky with a Belly-to-Belly Overhead Superplex! Chuggaaconroy hit the mat HARD on his back, and Caesar covered him: 1…

2…

…2.835 Chugga got his shoulder up, but only just! Caesar's patience waned and waned…and when he was caught with a Palm Strike square to the nose by the Let's Player, the Roman Emperor leveled Chugga off of the ropes with a MASSIVE Lariat!

And yet, as Caesar sneered down at him, Chugga suddenly nailed him with a 1-Up (Kip-Up into Complete Shot)! That allowed Chugga some time to recover…

…and when he did, he was able to counter an Olympic Slam by Caesar into a fluid Flashback from behind! Chugga displayed some fisticuffs on his end, punching Caesar in his face and stomach before eating a Back Club by the Emperor and ALMOST getting Powerbombed…but Chugga pushed out of it and hit Caesar with a Facebreaker DDT on the way down instead! Chugga had Caesar in a corner later on and lit into him with a flood (or, as he would call it, FLUUD) of Running Corner Back Elbow Smashes, hitting TEN of them straight before Hip Tossing Caesar out of the corner, heading to the top rope…

…shouting, "Don't say I didn't love you, Jon!"

…and giving Caesar a Diving Ace Crusher (which happens to be one of ProtonJon's signature maneuvers if you must know). Chugga covered Caesar…

…but only got a near-fall! Moments passed, and Chuggaaconroy went for a Double-Arm DDT…

…but Caesar blocked it and countered with a Bridging Northern Lights Suplex, pinning Emile down…

…for a moment, before Chugga bridged back up himself, spun back around, and gave Caesar the Double-Arm DDT after all! Chugga turned the FUSION Champion over and hooked a leg: 1…

2…

…2.879 Caesar got his shoulder up!

Chuggaaconroy measured Caesar…and the Runaway Guy picked his opponent up for the Chuggaaconroy Choo-Choo, a Fireman's Carry Powerslam…

…but on the way down, Caesar caught a grip of Chugga's left arm and turned it into a Kimura Lock on the way down! Emile's eyes widened as he was countered mid-slam, and now his arm was being ravaged by the consul! Lucius Aemilius Paullus was jubilant at this point while Chugga yelled in agony. Caesar wrenched on the Kimura and had it locked in DEEPLY…

…but Chugga went for the ropes…

…and…Caesar turned his body weight so Chugga couldn't get a foot there! Chugga SCREAMED…

…and…he pushed himself down to hold Caesar's shoulders down onto the canvas…

…but that pin was only a near-fall! Caesar raised his shoulders and backward rolled to keep them above the mat while STILL holding onto the Kimura! Chugga kicked the canvas in distress, knowing he was slowly running out of options, and that arm wasn't going to magically remove itself from the submission maneuver…

…and he raised his free arm…

…and…pushed off of the canvas to flip over and pin Caesar in a Jackknife! The referee was there to count: 1…

2…

…2.89999 Caesar rolled over to get his shoulder up, MAINTAINING the Kimura! Chugga's face displayed the feeling of pure ARMageddon…

…a sentiment which he had to have been feeling in the moment precisely…

…but STILL, Emile didn't tap! He scratched at the canvas below him, all he could really do…

…and Caesar, irritated enough as it is, stood up with Chugga's arm grasped, and he gave the Let's Player the Olympic Slam! Caesar's face was RED as he went into the cover: 1…

2…

…2.9 Caesar reapplied the Kimura! He forewent the three-count because he WANTED the satisfaction of making Chugga TAP…

…a satisfaction which Chuggaaconroy was NOT allowing him! Even after what had to be close to five minutes in this Kimura, Chugga was NOT YIELDING…

…and at that point, Caesar pulled Chugga's left arm ALL…THE WAY…BACK, practically SNAPPING it right there! Caesar ROARED as Chugga's own face was now red—not from anger, but from pure unadulterated PAIN…

…and FINALLY, Chugga's free hand pats the canvas in a limp, weak state, as though he were petting a puppy…and it wasn't exactly certain how conscious he was at that point given the pressure and distress…but the referee still awarded the match to Caesar, imploring him to let go of the hold. Caesar would do so, but not with a grin or any smile of glee. He had gotten what he wanted…but he was still a very angry man. And that made him DANGEROUS…

As Caesar left, ProtonJon and NintendoCapriSun, the other two Runaway Guys, ran down to the ring to help Chugga up, his left arm devoid of any movability. But the crowd could not help but be moved, impressed, and won over by the resilience shown in the match. Whether it was in 5BW…GPW…or CCW…Chuggaaconroy, even in defeat, had to have given some people a major glimpse of what at least one Runaway Guy was capable of.


"The MVMVP" Tom Brady vs. Kevin Levin

"The MVMVP" Tom Brady was fresh off of adding another notch to his perfect NFL record, and now he was in CCW action, still throwing shade in every which direction from Pandemonium (even going so far as to come down to the ring with a T-shirt that read "#Magnusgate"). Tonight, he was up against Kevin Levin, one of the Magnus Champion's fellow Men of Action. Kevin was showing some upshot in recent AWE bouts, and this was a rare occasion for him to show what he could do in singles competition against the former Universal Champion.

Kevin was the stronger of the two individuals, and Brady knew it so after a Collar-and-Elbow Tie-Up saw him get shoved to the ground across the ring, he tried a Single-Leg Takedown…only for Kevin to use that leg to push Brady backward. Kevin tried a Clothesline, but Brady ducked it and Dropkicked the New England Patriot instead, sending Kevin into the ropes. Several Clothesline tries to send Kevin out of the ring were unsuccessful, only knocking Kevin against the ropes…but Brady would try one with a running start…and get decked with a big Shoulder Block by Levin instead! Kevin would show just how much of a size edge he had with a large Biel Throw across the ring to the quarterback, a Corner Avalanche and an Oklahoma Slam! This earned him the first near-fall of the match.

Kevin Military Pressed Brady and slammed him to the mat face- and chest-first, following that up with a Big Elbow Drop to the spine. He put Tom Brady in a Body Breaker submission, shades of Jesse Ventura with the Canadian Backbreaker Rack hold…

…but Brady found a way to flip off of Kevin's shoulder to his feet and T-Bone Suplex Kevin instead, showing his own deceptive strength for a moment! Brady took a brief breather and drove a Running Knee Strike into Kevin's back from behind, sending him into a corner where he would be the recipient of Head Slams into the middle turnbuckle. Brady had himself a superior position, and he took the moment he had with it to slap and paintbrush the back of Kevin's head. But he pushed his luck on a Back Superplex attempt, and ate a Super Sidewalk Slam instead from Kevin! Brady wasn't reveling in much after THAT…

…but he WAS able to avoid a Chokeslam and almost DDT Kevin on the way down…but Kevin himself bore down and held Brady above the canvas to prevent going down with his head hitting the canvas! Kevin backed up towards the ropes to Back Body Dropped Brady over them! Brady, though, grabbed onto the top rope in mid-Backdrop and held it for dear life. Kevin was inside the ring half-bent…

…but Brady skinned the cat and landed inside the ring again…in such a manner that Kevin was in a Standing Headscissors; that allowed Brady to take advantage with a Pulling Piledriver! That shook the match in Brady's favor…and that was further helped by a Diving Double Axe-Handle between Kevin's eyes and a follow-up Belly-to-Belly Suplex for a near-fall.

Brady wore out Kevin's right arm with a series of Arm Twists and Arm Wringers…before locking in a Cobra Clutch, usually the set-up for the Personal Foul…but Kevin Back Elbowed Brady enough times to send him stumbling into the corner. Kevin tried to recover, but Brady Chop Blocked him from behind, hit the ropes and drove a Big Boot into Kevin's face. Brady would keep Kevin down with a Leg Drop and start a pre-victory lap around the supine body of the Osmosian, smirking the whole way through to the fans' chagrin. Some fans even started a "WE WANT RODGERS! (clap clap clap-clap-clap) WE WANT RODGERS! (clap clap clap-clap-clap)" chant.

"OF COURSE YOU DO – YOU LIVE IN A CITY OF LOSERS!" Brady shouted back, which got him a ton of boos as a result.

A Bridging German Suplex from Brady was an impressive feat of strength, but it only scored a 2-count. Brady kept Kevin down with Rope-Aided Elbow Drops and a Topé Atómico from the apron to the sternum. Brady Body Slammed Kevin and climbed to the top rope, spending time up there to mock his opponent, the fans, everyone, exclaiming, "I'M 7-0, BABY!"

But Kevin used one of his boots to kick the top rope from his back to derail Brady's balance. Brady ended up crotched on the top turnbuckle…and that permitted Kevin to ascend up the corner and drop Brady with a KING-SIZED Superplex! Both men were rocked…but Brady was rocked more as Kevin stood first and took the upper hand for himself, Irish Whipping Brady into a Free Fall Drop and then turning a Back Suplex…into a One-Armed Shoulder Powerbomb, almost shades of Lance Archer's Texas Tower Bomb! Kevin covered Brady: 1…

2…

…Brady kicked out!

Kevin went for a Chokeslam…but Brady latched onto Kevin's lifting arm and applied a Flying Armbar to counter! Tom Brady yanked at the limb of the Ben 10 big guy, wearing him out and possibly hunting for the tap-out…but after twenty-seven seconds, Kevin used that same arm to pull Brady up, Gotch Deadlifting him…

…into a Crucifix Pin from Brady as he escapes out the back…but Kevin held onto him in a Fireman's Carry to counter. Brady had to kick his way free off of Levin's shoulders to deliver a quick snap Perfect-Plex…for another 2-count! The two men would continue going back and forth, Kevin catching a once-overzealous Brady with a Nike Blast and Brady countering Kevin's K11 (Big E's Big Ending) with an elbow to the face and then a powerful Flea Flicker; Brady pounded his own chest to fire himself up and gave Kevin a HUGE Buckle Bomb, followed by a Spinebuster! Brady got a near-fall off of that…

…and he went for the Personal Foul but Kevin dropped to his knees to stop Brady from lifting him up; that caused Brady to improvise and apply a Bodyscissors Cobra Clutch, opting to go for submission rather than an attack for a pin! Brady tightened his grip and managed to get Kevin to seemingly become incapacitated…

…and Brady let go of Kevin Levin, leaving him on his back…

…and he stood and ran from corner to corner and dropped onto Kevin with a Touchdown Splash! Brady stood up and backed away a second time…

…and gave him ANOTHER Touchdown Splash! Brady backpedaled one more time…

…but on the third, Kevin got his knees up to Brady's gut! Brady rolled away coughing, holding onto his midsection…

…but he struggled through the pain, and he decided to go for one more Touchdown Splash in spite of it all…and as he charged, he got snatched by a hand to the throat! Kevin stood and planted Tom Brady with a Chokeslam, FINALLY getting it to go! Kevin picked Brady up moments thereafter…

…and leveled him with a Jackknife Powerbomb! Kevin hooked Brady's leg, and referee Lonny Cunningham counted 1…

2…

…Brady just NARROWLY kicked out before 3! Kevin Levin pulled at his hair with one hand as the referee confirmed the near-fall…

…but Kevin would go back on the attack…attempting the Null Void Slam some time after…

…and…

…getting countered in mid-spin with a Jawbreaker from Brady! Kevin held onto his chin and jaw, not expecting the reversal…

…and the MVMVP grabbed…LIFTED…and put down Kevin Levin with the Personal Foul! Tom Brady went to pin Brady…

…and…referee Lonny Cunningham spots that Kevin's foot is underneath the bottom rope. The official points it out to Brady, not administering a count because of this…and Tom Brady gazes at the referee and his information, narrowing his eyes as though at first he didn't understand…although he understood FULLY what was being communicated to him. Brady slowly nodded, dusted himself down, pulled Kevin away from the ropes…

…turned him onto his belly, backed away…

…waited for Kevin to get on all fours…

…and BLASTED Kevin Levin with the Point After Touchdown, punting him in the skull! Tom Brady pinned Kevin NOW, making certain NOTHING was under or touching or even NEAR the ropes…

…and Lonny Cunningham made the three-count, awarding the match via pinfall to the Most Valuable Most Valuable Player. Tom Brady stood up over Kevin's downed body, and Lonny Cunningham raised Tom Brady's hand…

…and…suddenly Tom Brady put the referee Lonny Cunningham in a Cobra Clutch! Before the official could even react, Brady put him down HARD with a Personal Foul! The crowd was surprised by this sudden physical outburst from the QB…and the shock would only escalate as Tom Brady left and returned to the ring with a steel chair and started to WHACK AWAY at the referee like he were trying to squish a bug on the ground! Tom Brady laid into Lonny Cunningham with an unmitigated array of chair shots, the amount climbing up into the DOZENS! One could see the welts from the chair shots through his zebra shirt…

…and while fans were questioning Brady's actions, his shouts made it more clear: "YOU SAW HIS LEG UNDER THE ROPE, BUT YOU DIDN'T SEE MY LEG, HUH?! YOU DIDN'T SEE MINE LAST SUNDAY?! COSTING ME THE MAGNUS CHAMPIONSHIP WITH YOUR SELECTIVE VISION, YOU SON OF A BITCH?!" ONE MORE chair shot was fired! "I'VE SPENT ENOUGH TIME GETTING PUNKED OUT BY REPLACEMENT REFS AND THE DAMN NFL BRASS! YOU MAKE ME SICK!" And then ANOTHER chair shot! Tom Brady was seething…

…and he saw Kevin Levin starting to writhe on the mat, clutching his head…

…and Brady began to rationalize in his head: Caesar didn't give much of a real damn about Kevin, but he knew SOMEONE that did…

…and with that thought process, Tom Brady approached him and started beating HIM with the steel chair! Brady tenderized the back of Kevin with MORE chair shots, almost causing the piece of furniture to completely come apart! Brady would throw an EXTRA chair shot right at the back of Kevin's skull, THIS one hard enough to almost CONCUSS Levin! Tom Brady then turned Kevin over onto his back…

…and wrapped the steel chair around Kevin's ankle. Brady backed into the opposite corner of the ring, thinking Touchdown Splash onto the ankle to Pillmanize it…

…and he ran RIGHT into a tackle from Ben Tennyson, who sped into the ring like a blitzing strong safety! Ben and Brady traded punches on the mat with each other, rolling around the mat…

…but the brawl that ensued started to go Ben's way when he dodged a Clothesline and grabbed Brady to drop him with the BKT! Ben threw MORE punches at Brady's face! The Tenth Wonder of the World was a house of fire…and he approached his pal Kevin Levin, taking the chair off of his ankle…

…and running and swinging it at Brady—who intercepted Ben with an Inverted Chop Block to the knee! Ben dropped the chair on his fall, and Brady picked up the chair himself and was about to subject Tennyson to the same chair-smashing treatment as Kevin and the referee…

…but Ben grabbed Brady by his belt buckle and yanked him into the ropes! Ben rolled out of the ring apron with Brady hanging there, and he slowly pulled Brady's head out from the ropes…while standing on the apron himself…

…only for Brady to sneak his way onto the apron and Backdrop Ben off of the apron onto the floor! Brady then jumped onto Ben Ten with a Knee Drop and mounted him with punches again! The brawl continued even further while security raced to the ring to pry Brady away! Brady was kicking and screaming, doing everything he could to get back to Ben…

…but Ben would end up coming to HIM, and with a new steel chair to boot! Ben chucked the chair into Brady's face, and threw punches past the security guards at Brady's head! Brady would try to return in kind, getting some blows in himself before security FINALLY created distance to dissolve the situation, all while Milwaukee was BUZZING from the skirmish! Brady shouted at Ben Ten, "YOU HAVE WHAT'S MINE, TENNYSON! DON'T THINK I'M NOT GONNA TAKE IT!"

Ben would shout back, "YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO PUT ME THROUGH THE GROUND, BASTARD!"

"I'LL FREAKING SEE TO THAT!" Brady fired back…as security shoved and escorted him to the back while Ben was led away through the crowd, Magnus Championship firmly around his waist. The "Best in the Universe" would smack the gold around his waist to emphasize who the Champion was and was going to be, all despite Brady's outcries of the contrary.


Tag Premier League Group A Match: Prettier Muscle vs. ?

It was the final match of the first set of Round Robin fixtures, and it was in the A Block, which had been shaken up the most due to XX 22 and Arya's injury. Sansa Stark had essentially moved herself to Group C in teaming up with Koldblooded—begrudgingly as it was—but that still left a vacancy in Group A now. As Jillian Michaels and "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey of Prettier Muscle made their way to the ring to loud boos, the former picked up a microphone and said as of that moment in time, she and Ronda didn't have opponents since Arya was getting surgery and the Starks were out of Group A. Jillian stated that Prettier Muscle could have very easily stayed home on their asses like any of those Wisconsin cheese-chomping wildebeests most likely would have with an excuse…but no, she and Ronda got on the bus and rode into Milwaukee anyway…all for a night where they have no match. "That's dedication on our part," Jillian said, "but it's not worth the fact that THIS is the city I ended up in. But since we have no opponents, I think it's fair to say that I don't have to stay in this fattening cesspool any longer. So we will GLADLY take our forfeit bye victory and be happily on our way—"

Ronda Rousey SWIPED the microphone away from Jillian suddenly…and let everybody know that she was NOT of the same opinions as her partner. She wanted somebody's ASSES tonight on a silver platter, and despite Jillian, SHE wasn't going to leave that ring until somebody came down to get their arm broken. Ronda wanted to MAIM someone for three points, not take a cheap forfeit. Jillian noticed that Ronda was MUCH more animated this evening, as though becoming FTW Women's Champion recently had her amped up to a much higher level than usual. At her partner's behest, Jillian Michaels stayed inside the ring, waiting for someone, ANYONE, to appear…

…and then "Queen's Speech 4" by Lady Leshurr started to play…

…and Brittany and Tiffany Crust from My Life as a Teenage Robot came onto the stage! A few jaws dropped in the audience as they saw these two make their appearance! They were wearing matching pink tights and pink wrestling-approved dresses, wanting to look not only dressed to impress, but also ready to make some noise in the ring. As they walked down the ramp, Brit told Jillian and Ronda that they were indeed the competition on their plate for the night, but quite honestly, they SHOULD HAVE stayed at home because now they were about to be outclassed by the Upper Crust. Tiff spoke up and laughed at the thought of a "butter face" like Rousey being a part of PRETTIER Muscle…while looking at Jillian and saying that she looked like she needed to "get some" after the show tonight…though it was too bad no one would be desperate enough to debase themselves to banging her.

And just like that, both members of Prettier Muscle now wanted these Crust Cousins massacred.

NEW Tag Premier League Group A Match: Prettier Muscle vs. The Upper Crust

Jillian Michaels and Brit Crust would start the match (despite their respective partners wanting in instead…though both of them would calm down and deal with it for the time being), and with both engaging the opening Greco-Roman Knuckle Lock, the two kicked each other in the gut simultaneously…before the Fit Female performed an Arm Drag to take Brit down. It would be Jillian getting the upper hand amateur wrestling style with a Waist Lock Takedown, spinning about Brit's body and paintbrushing the back of her head before cartwheeling into a corner of the ring with a smirk. But after scoffing with Ronda, her Basement Dropkick to Brit was dodged, and Brit gave Jillian a flurry of Elbow Drops to Jillian's stomach and cartwheeled away herself, shoving it right back into Michaels's face and laughing with Tiff. Both teams were not at all shy to play the belittling game…and with a few sit-ups, Jillian stood back up. The two jockeyed for position and traded punch dodges, seeming evenly-matched down to a pair of Eye Pokes to one another.

But when Jillian and Brit tagged in their respective partners, it was a different story as "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey Backdropped Tiff to the apron…and blocked a Rope-Aided Enzuigiri to counter back with a big Clothesline! Ronda stomped a mudhole through Tiff's clavicle with boots from inside the ring onto the apron…but when she grabbed Tiff's legs for a Decavitator, Brit Crust tried to prevent it by grabbing Tiff's wrists…

…only for Ronda to pull Tiff AND Brit inside the ring together, winning that tug of war between herself and the darker-skinned Crust. Ronda then Catapulted Tiff into Brit's arms…and then Belly-to-Belly Overhead Suplexed BOTH of them at once as they were embraced! A Double Lariat knocked both of the Crusts loopy as the My Life as a Teenage Robot schoolgirls needed to regroup on the outside of the ring. Ronda Rousey gave them chase, and the Crusts tried to get away to continue their powwow in peace…but a Jillian Michaels Plancha put an end to that tomfoolery right there! Prettier Muscle would Hammer Throw both Crusts into the steel ring steps, one after the other with Tiff crashing into Brit's body for extra impact! The two pushed Tiffany back into the ring…and double-teamed with a Spinebuster (Ronda) combined with a Blockbuster from the top rope (Jillian)! Ronda's pin attempt…earned a near-fall.

Ronda Sambo Suplexed Tiff, tagged in Jillian…and German Suplexed her own partner so hard and so high, that Jillian actually got flipped all the way up into a Moonstomp onto Tiff's solar plexus! When Jillian tagged right back, she Snap Suplexed Tiff onto Ronda's knee for a Backbreaker, and Ronda added some knees to the kidneys for added pain. Prettier Muscle weren't getting paid by the hour, and knowing this, Rousey went for the Cross Armbreaker with her foe supine…but Tiff managed to roll over in a panic before Ronda got it applied, pinning Rousey in a lateral press…for a count of 1. Tiff tried to get the better of the UFC and FTW titleholder…but her Soccer Kicks to the chest and Front Dropkick were rendered moot against a Rousey Up-Kick, Grounded Enzuigiri and a Half Nelson Suplex! Jillian would get a tag back in and add to the plight with a Slingshot Butterfly Backbreaker! A pin attempt from her…SOMEHOW only got a near-fall!

Jillian displayed a new maneuver in her arsenal when she lifted Tiff in a Fireman's Carry…and gave her a Cartwheel DVD, a maneuver which saw her gain extra elevation and rotation on the DVD, directing most of her weight to her side and following through with that to perform a cartwheel and land back onto her feet. The Biggest Loser personality knew how cool that looked, and took the liberty of taking a bow after the move. She went to the apron…and went for a Springboard Clothesline to Tiff…

…but Brit grabbed her by the ankle and pulled her down just as she was about to leap! Jillian was stunned…and then Brit put her in an Electric Chair…while Tiff, shaking things off, hit the ropes…

…and ran into Jillian to complete a Doomsday Suicide Dive! That move was actually innovative enough to earn a pop for the Upper Crust…but Ronda Rousey wasn't a fan of it…

…nor was she a fan of getting Double Drop Toe Held into the side of the security barricade! Brit and Tiff knew they had to do some damage, and so they climbed up onto the wall, grabbed Ronda's head…and delivered a Double Tornado DDT onto the floor! Brit and Tiff would then SANDWICH Ronda's head between their collective Running Arched Big Boots and the steel ring post! Then Tiff grabbed Jillian in a Wheelbarrow Clutch…swung Jillian around into a Sliding Elbow Smash from Brit…and then Wheelbarrow Suplexed Jillian into the barricade! Jillian was aching…and the Crust Cousins knew they had a chance to capitalize…

…and after sending her back into the ring, Brit tagged herself in to be the legal girl…hit the ropes…

…and decked Jillian with a Scissors Kick to the spine that she calls Cut Down to Size! Brit went for the pin…

…but Jillian kicked out in time!

Brit would set Jillian up for the Queen Bee Bomb, a Cutthroat Scoop Brainbuster…but Jillian prevented it and would later fight back with a Running Corner Moonsault attempt…that Brit dodged; Jillian landed onto her feet…and was brought down with a Cutthroat STO! Brit made the tag to Tiff after climbing to the middle rope…

…and the two cousins took turns diving onto Jillian, Brit with a Forearm Drop and Tiff with a Diving Senton! Tiff stayed on top of Jillian for the pin…

…but not only did Jillian kick out, but Brit would get pulled out of the ring by Ronda Rousey, who Spin-Out Powerbombed her directly into the steel ring post Rib Breaker-style! Tiff saw her cousin get WRECKED with that maneuver…but tried to fight on with a Running DVD to Jillian, a move she called Fashion Forward…

…but Jillian escaped out the back and delivered a Falling Inverted DDT…which was followed by taunting push-ups on the canvas. Jillian smirked…but her Shuffle Side Kick to the kneeling Tiff was CAUGHT and countered into a Spinning Fisherman's Suplex! The Crust Cousins were showing that even being a last-minute addition to the Tag Premier League didn't make them pushovers, and Prettier Muscle were figuring that out.

A Single Underhook Brainbuster from Tiff to Jillian scored only a near-fall when Ronda ran into the ring and DEADLIFTED Tiff off of the pin into a Turnbuckle German Suplex! Ronda went for a Running Corner Clothesline next…

…but Tiff SOMEHOW had the presence of mind to slink through the ropes and Pendulum Overhead Kick the oncoming Rousey instead! Tiff would then apply a Rope-Hung Reverse Triangle Choke to wear Ronda Rousey down, getting her tuckered out enough to dive at her from the top rope…

…or so she thought until Ronda KICKED said top rope and sent Tiff crotching onto the top buckle instead! Ronda would go for a Pumphandle Superplex on her end instead…

…but Tiffany would block that…rake Ronda's eyes, Headbutt her, rake the eyes again…

…and deliver one good Forearm Shiver that would knock Rousey down to the canvas…

…but before Tiff could capitalize, up ran Jillian with a Fit Factor from the top to the mat! Tiff was planted flat onto her face, Jillian let out a passion-filled yell…

…and nearly BLASTED Tiff's face off with a Shuffle Side Kick! Jillian pinned Tiff: 1…

2…

…2.95 Brit broke it up…and Ronda Rousey was PISSED. Brit saw the glare in Ronda's eyes…

…and did the only thing she could think to do, which was cut and run! She sped out of the ring and to the back, Ronda momentarily going after her but realizing soon after that Brittany Crust was gone and NOT coming back…

…which of course left Tiffany to deal with both members of Prettier Muscle by herself. To her credit, she got past the initial fear to throw some hands at both members…even going so far as SLAPPING the both of them…

…but a massive Ronda Haymaker put an end to that rally HARD. Ronda picked Tiffany Crust up…

…and had her Northern Light Bomb countered by a desperation pull of the hair by Tiff! Tiff got free, and took advantage with an Enzuigiri! That stunned Rousey long enough for the Crust cousin to deliver the Running DVD called Fashion Forward to the MMA star! And Tiff could have pulled off the entire deal with a Cradle Double Hammerlock DDT to Jillian, the move she called You Wish You Could…

…but Jillian freed her hands, Bell Clapped Tiff, and gave Tiffany Crust the Cool Down! Tiff was down…

…and that allows Jillian to turn her over and come from above with a Diving Moonsault…

…and Ronda to pull her up and give her a sick Northern Light Bomb! Prettier Muscle were standing tall…and Jillian gave the signal…

…and Jillian would Vertical Suplex Tiff into Ronda's waiting Powerbomb-ready clutches…

…for the Exercism to connect! Jillian turned around to pin Tiff, and referee Leif Heralding did the honors: 1…

2…

…2.98 Suddenly Leif Heralding is YANKED out of the ring…by a returning Brit Crust, who had run back down to the ring through the crowd as this was going on! Before the referee could notice, however, Brit dropped to the floor and rolled underneath the ring undetected. Ronda Rousey was wondering why the referee was out of the ring meanwhile, and Jillian was wondering the same. But while the latter kept her annoyed feelings verbal…Ronda would go out of the ring to PHYSICALLY confront the official, pushing him against the security wall and grabbing him by the collar! Ronda was STEAMING MAD, and SNARLING at him…and Heralding was trying to calm her down, but even his status as zebra wasn't helping. Leif Heralding would eventually assure that he would make the right call upon returning to the squared circle…

…but inside said squared circle, Brit Crust gave Jillian a Low Blow from behind! Brit had crawled back out from under the ring on the OPPOSITE side to get the blow in on Michaels…

…and she patted her still-downed cousin to let her know to raise up her knees…

…as Brit lifted Jillian up Belly-to-Back-style…and flipped her onto Tiff's knees for the Double Knee Facebreaker! Their take on Celebrity Rehab was called Another One Bites the Crust…

…and Brittany would drag her partner Tiff onto Jillian's shoulders for the pinning combination while slinking her way back out of the ring, back underneath it…

…and as a now-aware Leif Heralding went inside the ring, he saw Tiff covering Jillian and proceeded to count: 1…

2—Ronda's eyes widened as she saw what was happening, but before she could try to do anything about it, her legs were being grabbed and held by Brit Crust, as she had now snuck BACK over to her side of the ring and was keeping the Rowdy One from getting involved!

…and 3! The bell rang, and the Upper Crust had taken the victory! Brit SWIFTLY let go of Rousey and ran into the ring to snatch Tiff and help them both get away from a ready to RAMPAGE Ronda, who took to the ring and was about ready to slaughter an entire population of horses! Jillian was slow to recover herself, visibly not happy either with this borderline thievery. Brit and Tiff were taking breaths of relief…but as soon as that set in, Tiff stuck out her tongue at Prettier Muscle, realizing that they were the victors and they got the three points…and with that, Group A of the Tag Premier League just got itself a variable thrown…especially when one considered who ELSE was in Group A…ONE person in particular, that is…


CCW Infinity Champion Liu Kang vs. Kai Hiwatari

CCW Infinity Champion Liu Kang was recently selected as the opponent for Kai with the NWA World Heavyweight Championship on the line, and the Milwaukee crowd that was aware of this chanted his name incessantly, in full support of the Shaolin Monk. Not only did the news excite them, but…it was Liu Kang. And they knew that even though it was a house show, Liu Kang wasn't going to give them a bad match…

…especially since right before it, Blader DJ declared that it was now going to be for the CCW Infinity Championship! Liu Kang readied himself on the turnbuckles as his opponent, one-half of the Bladebreakers Kai Hiwatari came out. Kai cracked his knuckles on the way to the ring as the complexion of the match had now changed dramatically. He dug his eyes into the MK star and made it clear that he was out to win gold despite what Liu Kang had done on Ozone 41 when he made the save during Moby Jones and Don Flamenco's attack on the Bladebreakers. Pleasantries were NO MORE at this juncture; it was time for a MATCH. And Blader DJ made his excitement (and Beyblade bias) well-documented as it were.

NEW CCW Infinity Championship Match: Liu Kang [c] vs. Kai Hiwatari

Liu Kang knew he was at a size disadvantage, and his first move was a Waist Lock to try neutralizing Hiwatari in some capacity. Kai pried Liu Kang's hands off of his waist…and performed a Double Wrist Lock Judo Arm Drag, picked him up in a Full Nelson from here…and tried a Full Nelson Slam, but Liu Kang flipped through it and landed back onto his feet, applying a Front Facelock. Liu Kang again tried to make up for his lack of size by kneeing Kai in the face repeatedly and then running up a corner for a Tornado DDT…but Kai pushed Liu Kang away to land onto his feet. Liu Kang almost ran into a Big Boot, but Liu Kang caught it and performed a Dragon Screw to bring Kai down, allowing the Infinity Champion to drive a number of Shoot Kicks to the chest.

Liu Kang wore Kai down to the best of his ability, albeit through a reversed Irish Whip into the corner…that the Shaolin Monk Flair Flipped to the apron through. Kai pursued Liu Kang, only to eat a Rope-Aided Enzuigiri, then a Hotshot…and almost a Slingshot Sunset Flip by the Champion, but Kai remained on his feet, freed his legs…and MISSED a Leg Drop, landing onto his bottom hard which allowed Liu Kang to vault to the apron and then give Kai a Springboard Dropkick under the chin. Later, Liu Kang applied a Wrist Lock and hit an alternation of Kawada Kicks and Axe Kicks, Kawada Kicks and Axe Kicks…followed by a Leg-Drape Backflip lateral to Kai, transitioned…into a show of Liu Kang's own strength, a Belly-to-Back Suplex! Kai was against the ropes, and it took one…two…three Clotheslines by Liu Kang to send him to the outside of the ring. Liu Kang sped off of the ropes from here…

…and…his Suicide Dive is CAUGHT by Kai Hiwatari! Kai would lift and drop Liu Kang into the barricade…

…but his Snake Eyes attempt is BLOCKED with Liu Kang getting his hands up, pushing off of the top of the security wall and projecting himself back onto his feet! Kai blinks twice, and Liu Kang drills him with a Gamengiri from there! With Kai against the apron, Liu Kang slid back inside the ring, wrapped his legs around Kai's head…and slid back out of the ring to deliver an Inverted Hurricanrana in one swift motion out on the arena floor!

The crowd is hot and into Liu Kang's offense, which continues with a Shining Wizard to Kai against the security wall. Liu Kang went for the Bulldog onto the floor next, and Kai nearly avoided it…but Liu Kang prevented Kai's counter Spin-Out Powerbomb with a Side Headlock Takedown…and got back up into a Running Bulldog! Liu Kang sent Kai back inside the ring…and took to the air with a High-Angle Senton Bomb onto his challenger for a near-fall!

Liu Kang found Kai on his knees and sent a flurry of Shoot Kicks to the chest, the crowd reacting with an interjection on each of these strikes…before firing with a Roundhouse Kick…that Kai caught before it landed! Kai picked Liu Kang up and went for a Leg-Trap Chokeslam…but Liu Kang hit a mid-air Enzuigiri with his free foot to prevent getting slammed…yet Kai Hiwatari STILL held onto Liu Kang's other leg and throat! Liu Kang went to the legs, throwing kicks to each limb…and Liu Kang attempted an STO…but Kai Back Elbowed Liu Kang HARD in the back of the head. Kai was behind Liu Kang…and raked his eyes from the rear, capitalizing off of this with a Full Nelson Slam!

With Liu Kang down, Kai started to cave his chest in with Big Elbow Drops, dropping seven of them in succession. He pulled Liu Kang up to push him into the ropes and drive an elbow into the middle of his back. Liu Kang, though, showed some fight when he suddenly grabbed Kai by the head in a Three-Quarter Facelock…

…and…almost ran up the ropes for the Sliced Bread #2, but instead was shoved off of the rope and onto the ring apron, where he took a HARD Forearm Smash to the back of the head…and then an even HARDER Shoulder Block that knocked him from the apron and sent him crashing directly into the security barricade! Liu Kang was in an utter heap…and Kai would make matters worse for him with an Oklahoma Slam directly onto the steel ring steps! That would lead to a pin attempt inside the ring from Kai…that only achieved a near-fall.

Kai hoisted Liu Kang up later for a Stalling Front Suplex, staying on his feet as he planted Liu Kang chest-first into the canvas…and almost immediately after, Kai attempted the Black Dranzer Bomb…

…but Liu Kang countered with a Leg-Trap Sunset Flip, taking Kai down…and from there, popping up to his feet and Double Foot Stomping Kai's chest—only for Kai to roll backwards, absorbing the blow of the boots and then apply a Boston Crab! Kai wrenched on the spine of Liu Kang, bending him backward with a vengeance! But Liu Kang hung in there…long enough to roll back over and get his hands on the bottom rope. The referee enforced a rope break count…but Kai got one last piece in before letting go, executing a Decavitator into the ropes, catapulting Liu Kang throat-first into the bottom rope!

After choking Liu Kang in the ropes, Big Booting him in the head from the apron, and employing a Rope-Aided Surfboard Stretch from the apron, reaching in to get Liu Kang…Kai picked up the Shaolin warrior in an Argentine Rack…dropped to his knees for an Argentine Backbreaker…

…and then threw Liu Kang off of his shoulders into the steel ring post for an Argentine Ring-Post Backbreaker! Liu Kang staggered off of the post along the apron forward and got a Free Fall Drop off of the apron straight down to the floor! Kai was giving Liu Kang an utter BEATING.

And the beating would continue further with a Biel Throw into the barricade followed by a Running Knee Strike to Liu Kang's face against the wall. Kai pushed Liu Kang back in and went for a cover following a Sit-Down Canadian Inverted Powerslam…but somehow Liu Kang got his shoulder up! Kai would keep it up, targeting Liu Kang's spine with a trifecta of Pendulum Backbreakers and a Sidewalk Slam. Kai stomped and stomped and stomped on the Infinity Champion, eager to net the Title…

…and the Abdominal Stretch he put Liu Kang in drew him even CLOSER to it…

…but instead of submitting, Liu Kang struggled and battled back into a Hip Toss Backbreaker to Kai himself! Liu Kang was able to get something going…but he went right back down in ONE HIT with a Clothesline from Kai Hiwatari! That ALSO got a near-fall, and Kai was growing less patient.

Kai gave Liu Kang a Fallaway Slam, and as Liu Kang kept trying to stand, he was booted in the head for his efforts. Liu Kang eventually stood…in a corner…

…and Kai ran into him with an Avalanche Splash…transitioned immediately into a Sambo Suplex! Liu Kang clutched his midsection in gradual agony, the punishment Kai was putting him through…and the Bladebreaker kept it coming by ramming Liu Kang into the opposite corner! One…two…five…seven…NINE Shoulder Barges into Liu Kang's stomach were to follow. Kai backed up as Liu Kang was reeling…

…but Liu Kang propelled himself up the corner to avoid getting the Corner Spear from Kai, who collided with the ring post instead! Kai was doubled over against the ring post…

…and Liu Kang rolled over of the top turnbuckle from his elevated supine spot into a Schoolboy Pin on Kai in one fluid motion…

…and speaking of fluid motions, Liu Kang would let go of the pinning combination, leap up and NAIL the Beyblader with a Double Foot Stomp to the face!

That marked the beginning of Liu Kang's comeback, which was put together with Open Palm Strikes, a Spinning Back Chop to the neck of Kai—then a Back Chop to the other side of the neck with his other hand—and a Backflip Kick to the forehead. Liu Kang's Irish Whip to Kai was reversed…but Liu Kang rolled over Kai's back to his feet to avoid the Back Body Drop…Springboarded off of the opposite set of ropes…and turned in mid-air to deliver a Springboard Corkscrew Rolling Snapmare! Kai was brought down as the crowd POPPED for this maneuver, and Liu Kang gave Kai a Soccer Kick to the chest, then a Standing Moonsault as well! The fans were wowed…Kai was dazed…

…and Liu Kang gave his challenger a Diving Spinning Heel Kick! Down went the Bladebreaker…

…but only a two-count was scored from the kick! Liu Kang would get back up and apply a Butterfly Lock to Kai, aiming to wear him down to permit for a Butterfly Backbreaker…

…but Kai broke free and performed his own Butterfly Suplex instead! With a growl, Kai fought back with a Discus Clothesline…

…that Liu Kang caught and countered with a big Uranage Slam! Liu Kang was aching…but he pulled himself together…

…and almost got the Flawless Victory, only for Kai to roll out of the way! Liu Kang landed onto his feet, and Kai rose as well…and Kai popped Liu Kang up…

…only for Liu Kang to Dropsault Kai in the face out of the air, landing onto his feet again and sending Kai back down! Liu Kang hit a Spinning Back Kick to the gut after kicks to the legs…

…but as he ran for the ropes, Kai followed, grabbed him by the arms and Pumphandled him…

…and threw him across the ring for a Pumphandle Suplex! From here, Kai picks Liu Kang back up…and goes for the Blitzkrieg Drive, his Spinning Sit-Out Side Slam…

…but Liu Kang spun through it and turned it into a Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors…that Kai knelt down and HELD ONTO to prevent Liu Kang snapping it off! Kai tried to stand up for a Sidewalk Slam…

…but Liu Kang flipped through THAT, landed behind Kai, and hit the Armageddrop! Liu Kang hooked both of Kai's legs…

…and Kai kicked out just before 2! The crowd was into this match HUGELY, and Liu Kang was looking for the right move to clinch the victory and retention…

…and Liu Kang went behind Kai…grabbed him by the waist…

…and executed a Deadlift German Suplex! Liu Kang had Kai down…supine…center of the ring…

…and he went to the corner, jumped up…and got nothing but knees raised on the Flawless Victory! Kai got his knees up in the nick of time! That permitted him to stand back up…grab Liu Kang…

…and deliver the Blitzkrieg Drive…

…followed shortly thereafter with the Black Dranzer Bomb! Kai stayed on, pinned the Kombatant…

…and…Liu Kang kicked out just a split-second before three! Kai was taken HEAVILY aback by this near-fall; he thought it was curtains for the Infinity Champion! Kai put his hands in his hair, glared at the official…glared at the Champion…

…and then picked Liu Kang up…slowly…methodically…holding him by the neck with both hands.

Kai Tree Slammed Liu Kang directly into the turnbuckles! Liu Kang bounced off of the corner with a wince…back into two hands from Kai to the throat…

…and Kai gave him a second Buckle Tree Slam! Liu Kang ricocheted back out a second time, and Kai snatched him by the neck one more time…

…and delivered one more Buckle Tree Slam, Liu Kang going almost limp after the third assault! Kai took a hold of Liu Kang, presuming that this match is about to be all over…

…but when he tried a Sit-Out Powerbomb, Liu Kang punched Kai in the face six times…seven times…ten, FIFTEEN times consecutively…

…before snapping off the Hurricanrana to Kai…rolling through with it…

…and transitioning it into a Koji Clutch Hold! Liu Kang kept Kai trapped in the submission on the canvas, the crowd in a fiery frenzy from seeing the Champion fighting back even now! Liu Kang wrenched on the Koji Clutch to Kai, who reached for the ring ropes…

…but the China native rolled away from the ropes, taking Kai Hiwatari with him! Liu Kang TIGHTENS his Koji Clutch grip…

…and…Kai extended himself towards another set of ropes…

…and Liu Kang rolled him away from THOSE also! The Koji Clutch was STILL LOCKED IN…

…and…

…after FIVE MINUTES of endurance, Kai…pushed off of the mat…muscled up to his feet…

…and dropped the Infinity Champion across the knee with a Rib Breaker, which was enough to break the Koji Clutch for him! Kai coughed, now possessing a bloody lip and staying down to a knee…

…and Liu Kang…started to get up again…

…only for Kai to grab him by the throat from his knee! Kai wrapped his hand around Liu Kang's throat…

…and Liu Kang took aim himself with Shoot Kicks to Kai's chest, each blow wearing down the Bladebreaker more and more, sweat flying off of him…

…but Kai STILL maintained his grip on Liu Kang's neck…even with the latter firing ten, twenty, THIRTY RAPID-FIRE KICKS…

…before Liu Kang finally SWATTED Kai's hand away…

…and ROUNDHOUSE KICKED Kai upside the head! Kai was down…Liu Kang was still up by the grace of the Elder Gods…

…and…Liu Kang executed the Flawless Victory onto Kai! Liu Kang immediately got back up off of Kai…

…and gave the Bladebreaker a SECOND Flawless Victory onto his chest! Liu Kang stayed on him this time, pinning Kai Hiwatari: 1…

2…

…3! Liu Kang got the elusive three-count and RETAINED his CCW Infinity Championship, to the amazed and astonished delight of Milwaukee, Wisconsin! Liu Kang rolled off of Kai and accepted his Championship back from the official, taking his time to grab it as he was on the tired side after that contest. It was a hard-fought Title defense…but Liu Kang wasn't caught off-guard by it at all and knocked it out of the park to retain in the end. The fans were ECSTATIC…and Liu Kang couldn't help but share some joy in the victory himself…

…but he also made sure to check on Kai…and he would give a respectful nod and bow to him after the match…

…and Kai pushed himself up to stand…

…and leaned into Liu Kang's ear to mutter something to him…inaudible…unclear…before moving past him and exiting the ring…

…but whatever Kai said to the Infinity Champion…had said Champion nodding in what seemed to be approval. Liu Kang took his Championship to the corner, climbed up and raised it in one hand…while holding the other hand open, as though there was to be a second Belt in it in time…


CCW Females Championship Match: "The Alpha Bitch" Gwen Tennyson [c] vs. ?

"The Alpha Bitch" Gwen Tennyson was mandated by Commissioner James Gordon to be in Milwaukee for this house show and a match against an opponent whose name was kept discreet up to this night. The Females Champion of the World, flanked by "The Messenger of Gwen" Kai Green, did indeed grace Brew Town with her presence—although they weren't exactly gracious unto her to say the least. As Gwen raised her Females Championship, the crowd showered her with venomous, hate-filled shouts of "DIE GWEN DIE! DIE GWEN DIE!"…

…and that, along with Gwen's own personal desire to hear her own voice, prompted her to pick up a microphone. Gwen mentioned that she had no idea who Commissioner Gordon was sending after her THIS time, noting that with the reputation she has and the people who want a piece of her, it could very well be ANYBODY…which was just fine because who she was, what she stood for, and how she defended it meant that she could beat not just ANYBODY, but EVERYBODY. Specifically, however, it wasn't about just beating her opponent… It was about beating every fan…every spectator…every company boss…every whiner, every complainer, every heretic, every sinner…every AUTHOR…in everything that she did. She RELISHED the feeling of victory over THEM the most because it was a MULTITUDE of victories in three seconds. When she won a match, it wasn't just a victory over one girl; it was a victory over THOUSANDS—no, MILLIONS of people at once who placed their hopes on that one girl to do the impossible all the way up to the moment where she inevitably FAILS. And to know that it's gotten to the point where Commissioner Gordon is focusing his ENTIRE CAMPAIGN on her demise…it AROUSED her to know that she was that damn important to him. …Not like she didn't already know that though. After all, she WAS better than Emmy.

Kai Green would take the microphone and praise Gwen's name for her being able to defend her CCW Females Championship TWICE on XX 22 and RETAIN with flying colors. She brought up how Gwen Ten turned the CCW Females Championship into the Holy Grail of Wrestling…how Gwen Ten's victory in the spite of circumstances INSPIRED her…MOVED her almost to the point of tears…and at that moment, the prophet had resolved to go out and give Gwen a gift from her heart, especially with Pride & Glory so imminent. It was to be cherished forever…as the gift would cherish her, as ALL MATTER was to cherish the Alpha Bitch…

…but just as Kai started to explain what the gift was, she was interrupted by "SHUT THE F**K UP!" chants…

…which drove Gwen to take the mic back and scream, "YOU WANT HER TO SHUT THE F**K UP?! DO YOU WANT ME TO SHUT THE F**K UP?! WHY DOESN'T ONE OF YOU COME OVER HERE AND SHUT ME UP THEN?! I DARE YOU! I DOUBLE DARE YOU, MORTAL PIECES OF SH*T—GET IN HERE! GET IN HERE AND SHUT MY HOLY ASS UP! DO IT!" This almost had the crowd RIOTING to get past the barricade to get to Gwen; EVERYONE wanted her! Not one person was sitting…

…but Gwen's eyes were attracted to some person in the front row who looked INCREDIBLY eager to get her hands on the Females Champion. Gwen exited the ring and walked up to this fan…

…this Chinese-Canadian black-haired Sex Bob-Omb t-shirt-wearing high-schooler fan…

…and Gwen asks brusquely, "Who…in the HELL…are YOU?"

The girl replies, "I'm Knives Chau!"

Gwen narrowed her eyes and asked Knives to THINK CAREFULLY…on whether she HONESTLY thought in her heart of hearts that she stood a real chance against the greatest female wrestler of all time…

…to which Knives replied, "Well, I don't know how I'd do against the greatest wrestler of all time…but I think I can beat you pretty bad!"

Gwen was not amused by the quip one iota. She glared at Knives, verbally wondering what it was precisely that made her so damn sure of herself. Knives told Gwen that she saw what Carrie did to her on XX 22 and considering how close SHE came to winning, she was certain that HER chances were even better with all of the stuff SHE can do in the ring. Knives even mentioned how she wanted a CCW contract for the longest time, and she'd been coming to house shows for a while…and when she saw Gwen yelling out and yapping about how she wanted to beat one of the fans up, OF COURSE Knives would be the one most eager to fight her and take her Belt.

"So just because you see an impersonation of an upstart put a few cuts and bruises on me on live television means that you think you can waltz your way down here now and do the same thing, maybe even go further and do what SHE couldn't and WIN? You want to come down here and address me with THAT level of audacity?" Gwen said in an utterly offended tone. "I don't know if you were FED that or if it's what you honestly believe, but frankly, it doesn't matter. It doesn't make a difference because this…is going to be NOTHING like that. For starters…I'M gonna take the first shot—" Gwen abruptly SLAPPED Knives right in the face!

The slap reeled Knives as Gwen sneered at her. Gwen continued through the mic, "And then I'll take the SECOND shot—" ANOTHER slap by Gwen! Knives holds her cheek in pain as Gwen declares a THIRD shot, slapping Knives yet again! "And after that…I'm going to KEEP…ON…HITTING YOU…" With each emphasis, it's one more slap until Knives was dropped to a knee from all of the smacks from the Alpha Bitch! Gwen looked down at Knives and said, "And unlike HER, whom I ALLOWED to retaliate…you're not going to have that luxury. And when I keep on hitting you enough times…you're NOT going to be getting up. …Now that I've set THAT straight, are you ready? Ready, fool? Is Commissioner Gordon ready? …I'M ready." Gwen grabbed Knives by the hair and pulled her into the ring over the security barricade! Then Gwen handed her Championship to the referee Leif Heralding, and after one brief check on the competitors (especially Chau), the bell was suddenly rung!

NEW CCW Females Championship Match: "The Alpha Bitch" Gwen Tennyson [c] vs. Knives Chau

Gwen kicked Knives in the gut and went immediately for the Alakazam…

…but Knives twisted Gwen's arm and fought back with an Arm Drag! More Arm Drags from Knives were to come, although Gwen would prevent a Cross Armbar from Knives by punching her from a Modified Open Guard in the face six times…and the Champion attempted a Cloverleaf submission of her own…only for Knives to pull her into a Small Package Pin and get a SNEAKY near-fall! Action would eventually spill to the outside as Gwen started to take over by tossing Knives out of the ring and vaulting from inside the ring to the apron and stomping onto Knives's hands in the process, also delivering a Soccer Kick directly to Knives's chest! Gwen would Head Slam Knives into the security barricade and even BASH right into her with a Cross Body Block against the steel ring steps! Gwen was intent on laying in a beating onto Knives, making sure she wouldn't get the level of offense Carrie did on XX 22

…but when Gwen attempted another Vaulting Stomp, this time from the apron to the interior of the ring, Knives evaded it and rolled Gwen up for another near-fall out of the blue! Gwen started to get rather miffed, but Knives would use her agility to fight back, not backing down an iota! After forward rolling underneath a Clothesline attempt, Knives would have her Handspring Back Elbow Smash AVOIDED via Back Suplex…that Knives in turn flipped through, landing onto her feet to grab Gwen in a Side Headlock and perform a Running Bulldog Stun Gun, leaping through the top and middle ropes! With Gwen left hanging up there, Knives got a large vertical leap with a Dropkick right between the eyes…but her Diving Discus Clothesline attempt from the top rope was intercepted by a Spinning Heel Kick by the Alpha Bitch that turned things back around in the Champion's favor.

Gwen would use her own brand of offense to not just beat down, but EMBARRASS Knives, hitting a Gourdbuster followed by three consecutive Knee Drops to the back of the head…transitioned into a Headscissors on the last one. Gwen applied a Figure-Four Neck Lock, rolling forward onto the canvas…and then returning prone to smash Knives's face in with her Skull Fuck Push-Up Facebusters! Gwen then powered with her legs to Mule Kick Knives dead in the mouth, sending her sitting up on the mat…where she was met by a Dropkick of Gwen's own! Gwen went for the pin, but only got a two-count.

Gwen put Knives in a Tree of Woe later on in the matchup, trapping her and leaving her defenseless for a series of kicks to the abdomen…a Running Baseball Slide Dropkick to the face…a SEVERE rake of the eyes and Nose Clip from the outside…a Bell Clap to the sides of the head…and, upon returning inside the ring, a Tree of Woe Corner Spear! Gwen would deposit Knives out of the ring once again, only in more unceremonious fashion this time, pulling Knives out of the corner and Oklahoma Slamming her over the ropes and out of the ring, Knives's shoulders and upper back hitting the ring apron edge on the way out! Gwen launched herself at Knives seconds later, hitting a Diving Double Axe-Handle from the top rope directly into the middle of Knives's shoulder blades. That allowed Gwen to add to the offense with a Swinging Belly-to-Back Suplex directed into the security barricade…then a Head Slam into the steel ring steps…

…but on Gwen's run along the ring apron into a Leg Drop Bulldog try onto the stairs, Knives moved her head out of the way, Gwen having taken too much time to taunt beforehand! Thus, Gwen landed tailbone-first onto the steel steps, and it WAS NOT pretty…for her (pretty for everybody else though). Knives would show more agility by stepping up off of the steps and nailing Gwen with a Shining Wizard that knocked her down to the floor! Then it was time for Knives to turn it up with the attacks, starting to utilize an array of Knife Edge Chop variations, riddling Gwen's chest with Chop after Chop at breakneck speeds…before going back in the ring with her and delivering some more! Knives would even hit the ropes and give Tennyson a Running Knife Edge Chop to the back! These Chops were starting to irritate Gwen Ten…

…but not as much as a Half Nelson Suplex did later on from Knives to the Alpha Bitch! And as Gwen is on her knees, Knives deals a MASSIVE blow in the form of a Knife Edge Chop to the FACE! With Gwen left on her back from this, Knives grabbed her legs…

…and applied a High-Angle Boston Crab with her knee placed on the spine of Gwen Ten—it's the Android Tamer, shades of Mega Man Original! Gwen hollered in agony as her body is contorted in this submission hold…

…but Gwen, after a struggle, got herself from underneath Knives's leg and rolls onto her back again. As Knives tried to roll Gwen over again, the latter used her leg strength to hurl Knives away and to the ring apron. Knives rose…and Gwen tried a Superkick, but Knives caught the leg and delivered a Leg Hotshot over the top rope! Gwen winced and grabbed her thigh in pain…

…and Knives would give Gwen a Springboard Sunset Flip…transitioned into a Kneebar, trying to take advantage of the leg ailment! She got Gwen to yell and scream again…but this time Gwen had an answer, a more direct and PAINFUL answer in the form of stomps and kicks with her free foot into Knives's mouth! Knives, after being struck by about nine such boots, lets go of the Kneebar and is later dropped with a Gutbuster by Gwen. Gwen Tennyson goes to a corner…hits a Diving Imploding Knee Drop from the bottom rope…then a second Imploding Knee Drop from the middle rope…

…and a MOONSAULT from the TOP ROPE onto Knives, into a pin! 1…2…2.875 Knives kicked out!

Gwen went for a Kneecapitation into Knives's back in the corner…but Knives sidestepped to avoid…and leapt up for a Jumping Enzuigiri to the back of Gwen's head! Knives added a series of Knife Edge Chops to the back, as well as a few to the back of Gwen's neck. Knives climbed up…and went for a Corkscrew Sunset Flip Powerbomb…

…but Gwen flipped through it and landed onto her feet! She was able to pick Knives up by the legs…and toss Chau into the turnbuckles via a Buckle Alabama Slam! Then came a Kneecapitation by Gwen—to the chest and face—followed by a Running Air Raid Crash! Gwen pins Knives…

…it's another near-fall…

…and Gwen's next maneuver…

…was going to be a Hocus Pocus, but Knives elbows Gwen in the kidney while upside-down, having gotten an arm free enough to do so, escaping the Back-to-Back Double Underhook Piledriver…and turning it into a Victory Roll, adjusting the weight to roll Gwen up…for another near-fall in her favor! Gwen rose…and went for a Superkick to the seated Knives…

…but Knives would Sweep the legs of Tennyson, avoiding the Superkick and then hitting Gwen with Soccer Kicks to the spine and more Chops. Knives hit the ropes…Gwen backward rolled to her feet and went Pendulum through the ropes…and Knives ducked the Pendulum Lariat, rebounded off of the ropes and gave Gwen a Tilt-a-Whirl Bulldog! Knives pinned Gwen…and only got a two-count again!

Knives tried to pick Gwen up…but Gwen suddenly snapped into action with a Uranage Backbreaker into a Reverse STO…followed by a Camel Clutch submission! Gwen wrenched back on the head and neck of Knives, wanting to coax an ever-satisfying submission out of her…

…but Knives would hang tough…and she struggled and muscled to her feet, showing some strength…standing with Gwen latched onto her back…and then turning it into an Elevated Snapmare Lungblower, dropping Gwen onto her knees! Gwen held her back in distress, letting out a yelp…and Knives tried a quick Crucifix Pin…

…only for Gwen to NARROWLY kick out! Both girls got up, and Gwen spun for a Discus Elbow…

…but Knives intercepted it with a Jumping Enzuigiri that STUNNED Gwen where she stood! That led to Knives delivering a Samoan Drop…then measuring Gwen again…

…and the Scott Pilgrim series character ran the ropes and DRILLED Gwen with a Front Flip DDT, putting Gwen right onto her head! The Alpha Bitch was dizzy…nearing catalepsy…

…and Knives made one more ascent to the top rope…Gwen slowly getting up…

…and Knives connected with a Diving KO PUNCH! It was shades of Scott Pilgrim, and Gwen was down and OUT…

…or so everybody thought until she kicked out from the ensuing pin! Perhaps it was by sheer INSTINCT and WILL more than anything else…but either way, the match was to resume…

…and Knives would try a Superplex to Gwen Ten…

…but Gwen blocked it with knees to the top of her head, setting herself back down onto the corner. At a stalemate, Gwen and Knives traded punches with one another…

…and Knives would break out the Chops once more, turning Gwen's chest BEET RED…

…until Gwen caught one such Chop and BIT the hand of the high schooler! Gwen would grab Knives's head in a Front Facelock…

…and then lift her…and drop her onto the top turnbuckle with an Elevated Alakazam! Knives's face collided with the buckle HARD…

…and as she nursed her face, Gwen crouched in the corner, picked her spot, and SPEARED Knives almost out of her boots! Then it was time for the Alakazam normal…

…and THAT connected! Gwen would go for the pin…

…and despite a valiant fight from Knives in the outing, Gwen Tennyson retained the CCW Females Championship via pinfall! Gwen Tennyson demanded and was given her Championship back by Leif Heralding as Gwen's disciple Kai Green was the proudest girl in the building, applauding the loudest and trying to clap over the immense nuclear boos. Kai would enter the ring as Gwen was recouping and rejoicing…

…and the Messenger of Gwen would tell her that now that the match is over, it was time to finish what she had started before…and NOW was the PERFECT TIME…because SHE…was READY…

…and then "Disturbia" by Rihanna played! Some fans recognized THIS music and whom it belonged to…

…and then they saw Coraline Jones walk out! The blue-haired young former 5BW Females Champion was stoic as she entered the BMO Harris Bradley Center (with some fans who were traveling Michiganders cheering) while Kai was grinning from ear to ear proclaiming, "HERE SHE IS! HERE SHE IS!" Coraline would enter the ring…

…make the sign of the cross in full view of Gwen Ten…

…see Knives trying to get up…

…and deliver a Seth Rollins-esque Curb Stomp that she called the Beldam Blackout! Kai was jumping up and down like she was on an infinity trampoline as she happily presented Gwen with "her present"…a brand-new disciple in Coraline Jones. Coraline was mentored once upon a time by Gwen…and somewhere down the line, she had gone astray and forgotten where she came from, who made things better for her and why…only thinking about home and the "friends" she never truly had all that time… Coraline was trapped in a nightmare, but through the Word of Gwen, Kai had FREED HER…

…and Coraline would make this known by dropping to a knee and bowing to the Alpha Bitch indeed! Gwen smirked as she looked into the eyes of her newest follower, even caressing her head in one hand to signify her care for their bond. Gwen murmured, "I never forgot you… I was always waiting for you to come home…"

Coraline nodded. "I AM home, your Holiness," she responded…and Gwen chortled…almost in an EVIL way…DEFINITELY in an evil way…

…while Kai was all smiles after PLEASING her goddess with this present to her…

…and Coraline stood…

…and suddenly Spinning Back Kicked Gwen square in the pelvis! Gwen was doubled over in pain, and Kai, who had been jumping for joy seconds ago, was now absolutely FROZEN…

…as Coraline hit the ropes and gave GWEN the Beldam Blackout! The crowd that was previously booing DEAFENINGLY at what they witnessed were now at a catharsis as Kai had her mouth agape staring at Coraline Jones…

…who leapt at Kai and gave her a Jumping Cutter before she could react! The technique behind it seemed…eerily reminiscent of someone else in the CCW world…

…and as Kai lifted up her head, Coraline planted HER with the Beldam Blackout! Both goddess and prophet had been sent into the ground via the Neglected Youth's boot…

…and as Gwen Tennyson stirred, lifting up HER head…

…Coraline gave her ANOTHER Beldam Blackout! At this point, the crowd was in a FRENZY while Gwen Tennyson was prone on the canvas, eyes shut and mouth drooling on the mat off of the second of Coraline's Curb Stomps…

…and then "Save Me" by Burn Halo played! Commissioner James Gordon came to the stage with a knowing look on his face…and revealed that whatever Kai and Gwen had planned for Coraline got cut off at the pass! And not only was Coraline Jones NOT Gwen's newest follower…she WAS Gwen's next OPPONENT for the night!

And as if the idea of defending her Championship was a smelling salt, Gwen snapped open her eyes and pulled herself in the direction of Gordon's voice, waving a fist and scowling heavily. As if Gordon knew what Gwen was thinking, he said, "I didn't know you were going to go rogue on me and challenge a paying customer to a fight, but that's not on ME; that's on YOU. So you brought this all on yourself right now!" Gordon stuck to that, and DEMANDED that referee Leif Heralding ring the bell! Coraline used her boot to push Kai out of the ring underneath the bottom rope…Gwen Tennyson starts to use the referee to pull herself up to stand, all while snarling and seething at him about this INJUSTICE…

…but the match was on anyway!

NEW NEW CCW Females Championship Match: "The Alpha Bitch" Gwen Tennyson [c] vs. Coraline Jones

Gwen was SCREAMING MAD, but the bell still sounded and Coraline Jones started it with a Running Dropkick that sent Gwen out of the ring! Gwen would go to the outside…where she was landed on with a Coraline Running Corkscrew Plancha! Coraline seized the match with Head Slams into the security barricade, into the apron, into the barricade…and pushing Gwen back into the ring, the Females Champion stormed and bemused. Back inside the squared circle, Coraline gave Gwen a Vertical Suplex…followed thereafter with a Neck Snap! Gwen was the victim of punches to the head from Coraline…

…and despite trying to push Coraline back, Coraline ran back into her with a hard Clothesline! Gwen got up…and took an Atomic Drop from Coraline, then a Mat Slam Backbreaker. Gwen was writhing, making her easy pickings for a Springboard Split-Legged Moonsault from Coraline Jones! The girl whom Gwen mentored once before was showing off exactly what she picked up—not just from the Alpha Bitch, but from her own recognizance! Gwen was able to somehow prevent a Crossface attempt from Jones…

…but even after Gwen got out of the ring, Coraline was persistent…charging at her…

…and…having her Baseball Slide Dropkick prevented as Gwen grabbed the ring apron skirt and pulled it back, causing Coraline to slide into the gap and get trapped there! Gwen rakes Coraline's eyes out of desperation…and takes advantage with the Alpha Bitch Slap/Hand of Gwen! Gwen would do some damage of her own with Bionic Elbows to the top of Coraline's cranium…followed by a Hangman's Neckbreaker, where Gwen twisted Coraline's head and neck…guided her out of the skirt…and DROPPED her neck-first onto the floor of the arena!

Gwen picked Coraline up and gave her Snake Eyes onto the ring apron before pushing her back inside the ring. Gwen gave Coraline kicks to the ribs…then shoved her into the ropes and caught her on the way back with a Flapjack. Coraline was prone…a

…and that allowed Gwen to prop herself up onto her hands in a spider walk! She walked onto her hands towards her prey…and snagged Coraline from there to apply the Inverted Cravate submission from the mat, maintaining her bridging nature. Gwen licked her lips as she applied pressure upon pressure with the hold. Gwen yanked back on Coraline's head and neck, capitalizing on her earlier attack with the Neckbreaker onto the floor.

However, Coraline pushed herself up with her hands…and pushed Gwen's face and head down into the canvas with one hand, affecting the bridge…but from here, Gwen was able to, upon letting go of the Hangman's Clutch variation, turn around and Dropkick Coraline in the back of the head. With Coraline leaning at the ropes, Gwen put her boots to the shoulder blades of Jones, choking her against the middle rope and shouting as she stands, "FIRST AND ONLYYYYY!" From here, Gwen vaulted off of Coraline and delivered a Slingshot Knee Drop Hotshot to the back of Coraline's head! Coraline was holding her throat and neck…

…and Gwen Tennyson attacked once again and connected with a Missile Dropkick from the top rope! Gwen covered the former 5BW Women's Champion…but Coraline kicked out.

Gwen gave Coraline one…two…three…four…FIVE Facebusters into the canvas, then a Jumping Stomp to the back of the head, remaining standing on Coraline's skull. This is followed by ANOTHER Jumping Stomp to the same area…then a Jumping Knee Drop to the back of her neck! Gwen stayed on Coraline, giving her Handstand Knee Smashes to the side of Coraline's face and transitioning into a Front Chancery Hold. In said Front Chancery, Gwen would even put her feet on the middle rope for added leverage, tweaking and wrenching Coraline's neck even further. The referee admonished the Alpha Bitch, who merely stuck her tongue out at him…

…and Coraline pulled Gwen off of the ropes, standing back up and trying a Northern Lights Suplex…

…only for Gwen to counter into a Facebreaker DDT, then a Mat Slam of her own thereafter. Coraline got up to her knees, and Gwen blasted her from behind off the ropes with a Running Clothesline to the back of the neck! Gwen covered Coraline: 1…

2…

…2.75 Coraline kicked out, but Gwen would persist, giving Coraline an Elbow Drop and pinning her again, an Elbow Drop, pin again, Elbow Drop, pin AGAIN…each of these resulting in near-falls. Gwen Tennyson sneered and Scoop Slammed Coraline to the canvas, then raked her boot across Coraline's face. Gwen went for a Back Suplex as Coraline was sitting up, yanking her up from the canvas…

…but Coraline blocked it and elbowed the back of Gwendolyn's cranium six straight times, setting up for a Snapmare on her part…

…that Gwen is athletic enough to flip straight through onto her feet and counter with a Snapmare herself! She KNEW how good that looked and laughed as she Soccer Kicked Coraline in the back. She picked Coraline up again and went for the Back Suplex…

…but this time, Coraline countered in mid-lift into a Cross Body Block, hooking both of Gwen's legs: 1…

2…

…2.8345 Gwendolyn kicked out in time! Gwen tried to rapaciously get up…

…and she was able to scout a quick Side Thrust Kick from Coraline…but not the resulting Enzuigiri! Coraline Jones hit the ropes and went for a Bulldog…

…but Gwen held onto her…carried her…and drove her into the turnbuckles with a Back Suplex Facebuster directly into the top one! Coraline backpedalled into a convenient Gwen Ten Backdrop Driver, again targeting Coraline's neck with the drop! Coraline rolled to the apron for refuge…refuge Gwen was not willing to suffer her. Gwen grabbed her by the head and went for a Rope-Hung DDT…

…and CONNECTED…whilst HANGING ONTO Coraline's head…

…standing with it…keeping Coraline draped over the middle ring rope and SNAPPING OFF a Rope-Hung Swinging Neckbreaker as well! Gwen pulls Coraline away from the ropes and covers: 1…

2…

…2.8889 Coraline got her shoulder up! Gwen was skeptical…but she had no choice but to keep going with it. And keep going she did with a Crucifix Powerbomb…

…that Coraline…ALMOST countered into a Hurricanrana…but Gwen held onto her legs and transitioned from there into a Hollow Point Piledriver, dropping to her knees with Coraline held! Gwen, with a sneer, deadlifted Coraline up from off of the canvas…

…and her Running Buckle Bomb into the corner was countered into a Frankensteiner into the middle turnbuckle! Gwen went face-first into the turnbuckle pad, her own momentum working against her…

…and Coraline suddenly jumped up and hit Gwen with a Beldam Blackout DIRECTLY into the middle turnbuckle! Coraline sent Gwen's skull right into it and the Females Champion's eyes were glazed all the way over…but Coraline had trouble capitalizing on it immediately. She was down from the earlier punishment in the match…

…but as soon as Gwen stood up, Coraline snuck in with a Schoolgirl Roll-Up! Coraline pinned Gwen: 1…

2…

…2.9 Gwen kicked out! The Alpha Bitch avoided disaster there…

…but she couldn't avoid Coraline's Diving Tornado Jawbreaker out of the corner! This was followed by a Throat Thrust…then an Irish Whip across the ring that led to an Exploder Suplex by Coraline Jones! The offense continued with an Inverted Facelock Backbreaker, an Inverted Suplex, a knee to the top of Gwen's cranium…and a Somersault Leg Drop coming off of the ropes to the back of the head and neck…for a near-fall! Coraline went for a Side Death Valley Driver…

…but Gwen raked Coraline's eyes on the way up and pushed Coraline into the ropes…the latter rebounding into a Sleeper Hold by Gwen Ten! The crowd didn't like that AT ALL, and made it known by their audible catcalls, which Gwen shouted, "I KNOW; IT SUCKS WHEN I'M WINNING, DOESN'T IT?! TOO BAD!" Gwen brought Coraline to a knee…then to both knees…

…and Coraline flailed, not sure what to do while Gwen put down more of her weight onto Coraline, weighing her down to make the Sleeper that much more lethal!

But Coraline proceeded to roll on the canvas voluntarily…rolling and rolling and rolling around like a log down a massive hill, Gwen going along for the ride…

…and eventually, Coraline picked up enough velocity on her frequent rolls to cause Gwen to lose her grip! Gwen let go of Coraline, and the challenger got up as Gwen was on a knee…

…and drilled her with a Shining Gamengiri! That set Gwen up to be dazed…for a Pumphandle Michinoku Driver II! Coraline hooked both of Gwen's legs…

…but she only got a near-fall…and then she snatched Gwen by the arm and head, stood up…

…and gave her a Bridging Cobra Clutch Suplex! Coraline held on for the pin…

…but Gwen kicked out AGAIN, for ANOTHER near-flal…until Jones picked Gwen back up immediately afterward by twisting the arm off of the canvas, and capitalizing on the chance with a Side DVD! Coraline covered Gwen immediately after that maneuver…

…only to get a count of 2 again!

Coraline stayed tenacious, knowing that any sliver of light she allowe Gwen could spell the finale for her Championship aspirations and the termination of First and Only. Coraline went up top for a Diving Cross Body…

…but Gwen rolled through it, holding Coraline…and dropping her with a Front Slam Facebuster…

…then coming off of the ropes and delivering a Leg Drop Bulldog! Coraline's head spun…

…and it only got worse with a Knee Brainbuster by Gwen! The Females Champion covered Coraline…

…and Coraline kicked out at 2.945! Gwen stood up scowling…nudged Coraline's head with her boot…

…gathered some space…waited…stalked…

…and…ran for a Spear, but Coraline leapt up and Sunset Flipped Gwen! The ref countered 1…

2…

…2.97 Gwen kicked out! And with Coraline about to stand, Gwen fired a Superkick…

…but Coraline avoided it, corralled it, and turned it into an Alabama Slam Lungblower! Gwen's spine nearly EXPLODES from the impact! Following this, Coraline picked Gwen up…

…hit a Northern Lights Brainbuster…

…picked Gwen up AGAIN…

…and gives her an Inverted Widowmaker (Reverse Argentine Rack Takeover) that she called the Orphan Maker! Coraline turned Gwen over and pinned her: 1…

2…

…2.98 Gwen got her shoulder up! Coraline was laying it into the self-professed goddess…

…so Coraline went for the Beldam Blackout once again…

…but Gwen sidestepped it and delivered the Magic Backbreaker! Gwen held onto Coraline's body from there…got up, turned her around and pulled her into a Short-Arm Scoop Powerslam! With Coraline down, Gwen shook off some of the shots she had taken…and climbed to the top rope herself. Gwen stood on the top turnbuckle…pointed up to the sky…#1…made the sign of her own cross…

…and MISSED the Frog Splash as Coraline rolled out of the way! Coraline saw one more opportunity…

…and gave Gwen a Forward Russian Leg Sweep Gutbuster turned into a Russian Leg Sweep standard…rolling backward with Gwen, lifting her up, and turning and flipping her Back Suplex Lift into a DDT! Coraline left Gwen laying…and ascended to the top rope once again…

…to perform a Swanton Bomb right onto Gwendolyn Catherine Tennyson! Gwen was coughing out her guts, almost LITERALLY as Coraline went for the pin! The referee counted 1…

2…

…2.98989 Gwen kicked out yet again! Coraline Jones couldn't believe it, and neither could the house show audience which were deafening as this went on! The action would eventually find both women on the top rope in the same corner…

…and Coraline…going for a Super Inverted Frankensteiner…

…but Gwen HELD ONTO Coraline's feet…

…and Super Electric Chair DROPPED her in the middle of the canvas! Coraline's head and neck just BOUNCED off of the mat in SICKENING fashion…

…not once, but TWICE…

…as Gwen's next move is a Crucifix Powerbomb! Gwen hooks both of Coraline's legs…

…but Coraline STILL managed to kick out in the nick of time! And at this point, Gwen had HAD ENOUGH…

…and she went for the Hocus Pocus, the crowd chanting "CORALINE! CORALINE! CORALINE!" throughout…

…but a few punches to the kidney from an upside-down Coraline with a freed arm allow the challenger to do damage and work her way to the ground. Gwen tried a Sidewalk Slam…but Coraline just Tilt-a-Whirled to her feet into a Float-Over DDT! Both women stayed down for a moment, the crowd enjoying what they were seeing…

…as both girls started to stand and trade strikes, punches and kicks with the crowd engaged in the exchange…

…and Gwen would poke Coraline in the eye…

…at the SAME TIME as Coraline would poke HER in the eye as well! Both girls were holding their eyes, each one of them equally blinded…

…but Gwen Dropkicked Coraline in the knee…and Big Booted her in the face upon recovery. Gwen would hit the ropes and try a second Big Boot…but Coraline dodged and hit a Back Kick to Gwen's solar plexus. Coraline hit the ropes…and Gwen received her with a Spinning Heel Kick…

…that Coraline CAUGHT IN MID-AIR! Coraline dropped the cradled Gwen into a Backbreaker…and then Fallaway Slammed her across the ring! Gwen was wrangled and dazed…got up…

…and ate a Shotgun Knee Strike from Coraline off of the ropes! Gwen ricocheted all the way off of the ropes…and the very nature of the Knee Strike from Coraline made Gwen's face CONTORT not just in pain…but in ANGER…because there felt like a reminiscence behind it…

…but before she could spit out any of that rage, Coraline Jones NAILED the Beldam Blackout! The crowd was ELECTRIC! Everybody was screaming! Coraline, the former 5BW Women's Champion, scurried into the cover, keeping a leg hooked after shooting the Half Nelson! The referee is right there to count it: 1…

2…

…Gwen…got her shoulder…up. Gwen got her shoulder up JUST BEFORE THE REFEREE HITS THE MAT A THIRD TIME…and Coraline Jones held her mouth agape and her jaw gliding in the air beneath her. "THAT WAS THREE! THAT WAS THREE!" chant the Milwaukee faithful…but alas, their opinion was incorrect, as was Coraline's. The match CONTINUED…

…and yet Gwen…didn't even appear half-aware right now. Coraline saw her getting to her knees…and for a moment, Coraline couldn't help but smirk at this, knowing that she almost had the goddess bowing to her in a position like this…

…and Gwen herself…looked at Coraline…and shook her head with tears in her eyes. She was SHIVERING…she was QUAKING…she could FEEL IT… It wasn't good… She needed mercy… She wanted a reprieve… She wanted forgiveness and understanding and compassion and decency…

She DIDN'T want a Snap Grounded Single Knee Facebreaker, but that's what Gwen ended up getting! It was shades of Will Ferrara and the Eyes Wide Shut…and now Coraline was about to shut the final door…the curtain call…

Coraline hit the ropes with Gwen on all fours…

…and Gwen POPPED UP out of the Beldam Blackout attempt, sending Coraline HIGH into the air as a result…

…before KENNELLY'S KISSING HER UPON HER DESCENT! The Superkick landed RIGHT ON THE BUTTON! Gwen was playing POSSUM with Coraline, and she ran RIGHT INTO IT…

…and a reveling, albeit aching, Gwen knew this…and dropped down for the pin, hooking one leg and grapevining the other. The referee exhales…and counts: 1…

2…

…3! And Gwen Tennyson, for the second night in the last three evenings, had completed successfully her second Title defense of the night!

To the dismay and boiling blood of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, "The Alpha Bitch" Gwen Tennyson was STILL the CCW Females Champion of the World. Gwen was awarded her Title by the official for the second time—reluctantly—and the Alpha Bitch petted the referee on the head as she raised her Championship high for all to see…and despise. Gwen looked down at Coraline, who was KNOCKED OUT by the lethal Kennelly's Kiss to conclude the match…

…and suddenly, "Daylight Dancer" by Lacuna Coil started to play. Gwen continued staring down at the blue-haired, brown-eyed girl…

(…Brown-eyed? …Just like Emmy… NO WONDER the 12-year-old turned on her the way she did…)

…and back out walked Kai Green (she had went to the back to recover from the attacks of before and light a prayer candle to her goddess), Gwen's first disciple and the Messenger, applauding her goddess…and then frowning at Coraline, whom she had trusted before…and was BETRAYED by. Kai took that to heart…and the Navajo girl mounted the downed, hardly-awake Coraline and started punching repeatedly! It was a flaggellation in front of everyone, as Kai Green would see to it personally that Coraline paid for turning on Gwen, trying to humiliate and end her. Kai picked Coraline up and started Head Slamming her into the top turnbuckle over and over again, giving her nearly SEVENTEEN such Head Slams before placing her onto the top rope…

…and giving her a Tiger Superplex, dropping Coraline almost SMACK-DAB onto the top of her head! Now Coraline was BARELY moving…

…and now GWEN wanted to do something. She spent a few seconds GLARING at Kai…like a mother scolding her daughter…but then she instructed Kai to go to the ring apron…while she herself picked Coraline up and snarled a curse in her face…

…before setting up the Hocus Pocus…

…only for "Charm & Beauty" by CFO$ to cut her off! Gwen's eyes were alight with FURY as Kai Green was yanked off of the apron HARD by her foot courtesy of an arriving Julie Makimoto! Julie, freshened up from being assaulted by Gwen's cult on XX 22, had revenge on her brain and was ready to spill Gwen's brains to prove the point! She slid right in and took it to the Alpha Bitch with a Double Leg Takedown and punches to the head and chest of the Females Champion! Julie grabbed Gwen and T-Bone Suplexed her across the ring before nearly splitting her face with a Yakuza Kick that sent Gwen spinning clear out of the ring! Gwen was about ready to retreat…but a Corkscrew Suicide Dive by Makimoto prevented such a thing from occurring! Julie Chopped Gwen's chest, almost reopening it up for more reddening like Gwen's first match…

…but when Julie sent Gwen into the steel ring steps and checked on Coraline's state inside the ring, she was blindsided by the druids of Gwen! Julie was swarmed by four of them at once, and her panicked Palm Strikes fended them off momentarily, but not for long! The druids took turns holding Julie's arms and allowing another member to punch her in the stomach. As this was going on, MORE druids kept Coraline inside the ring, keeping her from getting any medical or outside attention. Julie saw what they were doing, and eventually had no choice but to bend the rules, kicking two druids in their groins before speeding past two others to get to where Coraline was, trying to help HER like she helped Carrie White two nights prior…

…but the lights would go out in the arena…

…and when they came back on, Julie was face-to-face with ARES. The God of War eyed the Baku-Babe like a piece of meat, no emotions in his face as he backed Julie up…

…into a waiting Kai Green, who gave Julie the Revelation (Rolling Cutter) from behind! Kai shouted, "YOUR TRANSGRESSIONS WILL BURY YOU! WHEN WILL YOU LEARN?! HEED THY GODDESS! LET HER DO HER WORK OR YOU WILL PERISH!"

Ares sneered…and Gwen Tennyson started to pull herself up the apron…an ABOMINABLE look on her face as she stared at Julie and Coraline, and her followers. Her eyes met Ares's particularly…and Ares knew what that meant. The Greek pariah picked up Julie by the hair and pulled her to the ring ropes…

…where Gwen Tennyson grabbed her arms and tied them into the top and middle ropes, leaving Julie stuck and unable to free herself. Gwen made sure Julie was snug and then came back into the ring, turning her attentions to Coraline as well, who was trying to fight back now having had time to recover! She held off a few druids, but a Belt shot from Gwen and her Females Championship to the face put an end to that. Coraline's head was spinning; she was already bleary from the Superkick of Gwen, and it was likely she had a concussion from that kick and it was only getting worse. Then Gwen picked Coraline up, Julie unable to do anything more than watch…

…as Gwen hit the Hocus Pocus, which was aided and abetted by a Springboard Phoenix Double Foot Stomp Spike by Kai Green! It looked ASTONISHING…but Milwaukee HATED who was doing it. They LOATHED her…and she wasn't about to start gaining their support. Gwen demanded and was granted a microphone, through which she told Julie that she was a FOOL to think that the same pony could do that same trick twice and be okay. The cult was FILLED IN, and this time they were EXPECTING it, waiting in the shadows, making the interception an easy one. Gwen, though, encouraged Julie to "get ready for the show." Gwen winked, and Julie tried to pull herself out of the ropes while Kai spoke herself, saying that Coraline tied to deceive, tried to stab her goddess, her one true God, in the back…so the CCW Females Champion and her essence deserve to stab JONES in the back…

…which Kai herself intended to do…LITERALLY. Kai held her hand open…

…and Ares handed her HIS OWN SWORD, the very Sword of Ares used in his various war campaigns. Kai demanded that Coraline's shirt be removed, and the druids oblige their second-in-command, ripping apart Coraline's shirt to expose the skin and allow Kai to have at it. Kai was about to plunge the blade down…

…but Gwen cut her off…saying that that would be TOO DIGNIFIED for her sin. Gwen took the sword herself and looked at Julie, explaining that she trapped the Subterra Brawler to the ropes to make her see this…and do the right thing afterwards. What was the "right thing" and what did it mean? Well, Gwen noted that Julie STILL had a clause in her newly-minted contract that gave her a free match with the Alpha Bitch (and by extension, a shot at the CCW Females Championship)…but after watching this, Julie was going to NULLIFY that clause.

"You can stay here, Julie," Gwen said. "You can stay in CCW; I'll allow you to take up residence in the oasis that I CREATED FOR YOU AND FOR ALL…but it's going to be under MY TERMS. MY RULES. MY ORDER…not yours. Not Commissioner Gordon's. And besides…" Gwen giggled in Julie's face. "…I know you don't want to clash wits with me, girl. You value your career too much to test me—you HAVE TO…you HAVE TO… So find what you need to SQUASH that proviso, and squash it as QUICKLY as you can because until then…your resurgence is in perpetual danger. I'm permitting it…but I can very well DESTROY IT IN A HEARTBEAT…"

…The crowd didn't like hearing this and let it be known with atomic boos and hisses…

…to which Gwen replied, "Gwen Tennyson makes COVENANTS, not THREATS. These are holy VOWS OF LIFE I'm declaring! And you people hate the truth! You hate reality! You hate that I AM THE ONE! …But you can't do anything about it, can you? Knives TRIED…and Knives FAILED. CORALINE tried…and CORALINE failed. So at this moment, ALL YOU CAN DO IS WATCH…watch…and learn…and follow the Will of Gwen. And if you can't handle it NOW…if you still have to avert yourselves, to not abide, to not adhere, even when it's RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU…know that I will be there to take your denial, take your nerves…

"…

"…

"…and SHOVE THEM RIGHT DOWN YOUR THROAT."

Gwen clutched the sword in one hand…and pulled Coraline's hair with the other. Then she forced Coraline's mouth open with a jab to the throat…permitting her to put the sword INTO Coraline's mouth! Gwen told one of the druids to grab the handle of the sword and set Coraline's head to the mat, like holding a football for a field goal. The druid kept the grip TAUT…and Gwen Tennyson raised her boot, took a hold of Coraline's head…

…and CURB STOMPED Coraline, sending the deified sword STRAIGHT DOWN INTO HER with an IMPALEMENT! Coraline couldn't even SHRIEK as the sword penetrated past her windpipe and seemed to go STRAIGHT to the esophagus, right in front of a witnessing Julie, whose eyes bulged as she saw this borderline public execution before her! The crowd was APPALLED and STUNNED by this act as Gwen YANKED the sword right out of her mouth in one motion, and within seconds blood began to pour out of Coraline's mouth as she coughs onto the mat beneath her. Coraline tried to posture up…

…but in her doing so, she VOMITED HER OWN BLOOD onto the canvas! It was clear that the Sword-Aided Curb Stomp had sent the sword into PUNCTURING something inside of the Neglected Youth! Kai Green crouched beside the burgeoning puddle…and collected some of the blood vomit in her hands and lapped it up with her tongue, taking delight in the taste. Kai looked over to Gwen…and held a handful of thrown-up blood in front of the Alpha Bitch. Gwen saw the hand…and had a slurp of the blood herself, being handfed the fluid by her apostle. Ares took back his sword and took note of the upchucked blood on his own blade out of Coraline…and muttered… "It's going to be hell to clean this…"

Julie's concern for Coraline's condition…was only matched by Julie's DISBELIEF and ANGER at what lengths Gwen had went to in order to make sure a thing occur. She kicked her feet helplessly in an attempt to get unstuck…to zero avail. Kai simply giggled at Julie's plight, saying that she hopes Makimoto learned a valuable lesson…

…but what Kai doesn't notice is Gwen Tennyson giving her a thousand-mile glare. It isn't until about ten seconds too late that Kai Green realizes the Alpha Bitch is looking dead at her…and DOESN'T look pleased. Why? …Well, Kai's bright idea for a "gift" to her goddess backfired tremendously…which had the potential to lead to FATAL results…and something needed to be done for Kai to repent this folly of hers…

Kai got the hint…

…and she walked to a corner…

…climbed onto the top rope…stood there…looked back at her glaring goddess…

…then looked up at the sky…with closed eyes…and the SLIGHTEST tremble…

…and in an act akin to Sindel in Mortal Kombat: Deception, Kai Green LEAPT off of the top rope…

…AND LANDED WITH A SICKENING THUD ONTO THE ARENA FLOOR DIRECTLY ONTO HER NECK!

Kai had PURPOSELY jumped off of the top turnbuckle and semi-flipped just enough to NOT rotate completely, causing her to drop in the WORST possible way! And this was RIGHT IN FRONT of the fans, spectators…the stoic druids…the equally stoic Gwen Tennyson…and the NONPLUSSED and borderline HORRIFIED Julie Makimoto. Julie looked at Gwen…threw some words about how much of a MONSTER she was…

…and Gwen responded with KENNELLY'S KISS right to the jaw! Julie was knocked out of consciousness, freed from the ropes…and Gwen Tennyson grabbed Julie's hair and pulled her up to see the Females Title at eye level, where it read, "GWEN TENNYSON" on the nameplate for Champion. Gwen was indeed the Championship's owner…and if Julie was smart, she wouldn't even TRY to change that. Gwen would leave the ring…and her druids would pick up and carry Kai to the back with them…

…all while the Messenger of Gwen…as some could see…had a SMILE on her face as she was carried off behind her still-Females Champion goddess…

And with that, Monday in Milwaukee was brought to an end…
