USPW CageZone: Episode 2
Rags or Riches Part 3
A/N: So I have to put this out there before going into the chapter and it involves a recent movement called SpeakingOut where different people come forward speaking out against wrestlers that have allegedly sexually assaulted or harassed them. So, David Starr is someone that has been accused of such actions and we at USPW don't condone such activity so he has been released from his contract and will no longer face King Randy at Niagara Brawls for the wXw Unified World Wrestling Championship so he will get a replacement opponent on the next Firestorm taping. Also, Dave Crist is fired as well, because he also has allegations against him, but he's also known for being a straight-up dickhead backstage so that's definitely gonna be a problem. Moving forward, Ohio Versus Everything will only feature Sami Callahan, Sara Lewis, Jake Crist and Madman Fulton. Dave will appear in this chapter, but this will be his official last match in USPW. Thank you for reading the disclaimer.
Venue: Loews Pacific Royal Resort
Date: March 13th, 2020
State/City: Orlando, Florida
(A dark room is shown as Sami Callahan comes onscreen with his signature baseball bat and his wife, Sara Lewis, joins his side as they remove their masks.)
"Tonight, oVe sets out to destroy every inch of this company…Jake and Dave that the first shot tonight and then we move forward with our plans." Sami explained.
"Poor souls like Bloodline, The Hybrid, Lucha Bros., Outlaws, and Injustice rely on their strengths to get them ahead, but the strength is also in the numbers. No matter how much muscle each team packs, we have one more in line to take the place of the fallen." Sara continued.
"We ran the landscape of Impact and we are gonna do it again with USPW. There is no one that is safe from the clutches of darkness. What we want is what we get. No matter the circumstances needed to go through." Sami stated.
(Madman Fulton came from behind as Dave came in sight wearing a goat face mask while Jake stuck his tongue out laughing crazily.)
"This is Ohio Versus Everything…we will rise to the challenge and bring it down!" Sami exclaimed.
(The scene switches to Sammy and Nick taking shots at the local bar in the resort before they faced the camera down.)
"These fellers in this match don't realize that when the drinks start kicking in, their rumps are meeting these steel-toed boots of anarchy." Sammy stated.
"Now, we are gentlemen at heart, but Sami outta keep his mistress on a muzzle lest she taste what fifty shots of red rum can do." Nick added as he finished another shot.
"Outlaws are riding high tonight and when we come out of there with those tag titles, we plan on representing the best in the division. This lets you cowpokes know that there will be new sheriffs in town." Sammy promised.
(The scene switches to the locker room as Jordan Oliver and Kotto Brazil prepare themselves as while Myron Reed held his MLW World Middleweight Championship with a white strip across the middle reading "#INJUSTICE" and he glares right into the camera.)
"There's corrupted officials in all wrestling companies and MLW held us back, but we fight back against authority. However, tonight is all about unforgiving steel and taking names. These five other teams may as well throw in the towels, because Injustice will soon run the show. No one tells us how to do things anymore. We are getting those Global Tag Team Titles and then we will set our eyes on individual gold in both MLW and USPW like I have right here. Get ready to taste real justice!" Reed explained.
(The cameras returned ringside as a drone shot got the steel cage, but the hundreds of fans on land and in the water surrounded it as a closeup shot of all three commentators filled the screen.)
"Very strong words from three of the tag teams competing in our main event, but I think Jonathan and William won't be giving up those titles without a fight. It's all or nothing inside that structure." Russ stated.
"Well, coming up next is our first USPW Television Championship match of the year as Cody Fireheart, Connor Gates, and Preston Starr will fight for the remaining briefcase containing that title." Greg added.
"I really can't wait, because this is such a dream match to see the abilities of three talented athletes regardless of the actions Preston has done. He and Jonathan took each other to the limits in that Buried Alive Match getting a five-star rating which is the first for this company. Also, Cody fought Jason to his ultimate limit and prevented himself from passing out showing us his absolute willpower when fighting." Jasmynn added.

(The crowd cheered as Cody came out in his normal hoodie and his mask shined with the sun reflecting off it. He slapped fives with fans before heading down the ramp.)
"This contest is a Triple Threat Match set to be contested inside a steel cage and it is for the USPW Television Championship! Introducing first, from Arkham City, weighing 195 lbs., this is Cody Fireheart!" Richard exclaimed.
(As Cody made his way down, two people came out of the crowd attacking Cody as the cameramen rushed to the scene as the crowd saw two individuals in red hoodies kicking down on Cody.)
"What the hell?! Who are these clowns?!" Greg recoiled.
"These two came out of the fans, but why isn't security getting rid of them?" Jasmynn wondered.
(The two men took off their hoods revealing Viktor and Connor Chaos, formerly known as the Ascension, of the newly named The Apocalyptic Brothers as Connor gets Cody up smashing the head off the guardrail and Viktor sent knees to Cody's head. The crowd booed and they got louder as the attacks increased, but Preston came out dressed in his usual brown leather jacket, a bright green shirt with a black question mark on the front covered in green question marks and green tights with three black question marks on each side as he smirked at what was happening.)
"Preston is smirking and that's not a good thing." Greg stated.
"Did he hire the Ascension to attack Cody? What's going on here?" Russ asked.
(Connor came out attacking Preston from behind as he tried his luck punching back at Viktor and Chaos, but both Apocalyptic Brothers hit Connor all around his body leading the Antichrist to getting a Superkick from Viktor sending him to the floor. Viktor gets Connor up as Chaos readies his left arm before Viktor pushes Connor to Chaos as Chaos hits a Running Lariat to the Wales native. Preston gets up ordering both men to get Gates to the steel cage as Viktor and Chaos grab their victim hoisting him on the shoulders carrying him to the steel cage.)
"Preston is leading these maniacs. What a travesty for Connor Gates!" Greg exclaimed.
(The Apocalyptic Brothers gets Connor into the steel cage as Preston followed behind laughing as if this was the funniest joke on the planet. Viktor then gets down in the lower left corner while Chaos goes to the upper right and Gates gets up to his feet before both partners hit Total Catastrophe (Fall of Man) on the Wales native to Gates hearing the sea of booing crowd members. Preston comes in as he orders the referee to ring the bell and count the pin.)
The referee reluctantly called for the bell as Preston drops on his feet before grabbing Connor up hitting a Cross Rhodes for good measure. Preston then hooked both legs screaming "Count, you fool!"
"1…2….3!" The referee counted as each slap felt forced and the bell rang while Preston gets to his feet.
"Here is your winner and the inaugural USPW Television Champion, Preston Starr!" Richard announced.
(The title that the second ref handed to his colleague has a nice leather black strap with two silver plates with TV emblems on each plate. The middle plate is the bigger plate as it had the USPW logo on a blue surface at the top along with a red banner reading 'TELEVISION', a blue circle with 'USPW TV' on it, and another red banner reading 'CHAMPION' on it. Preston grabbed the title as both Viktor and Connor clapped for their new leader raising both hands as the chorus of boos continued throughout the resort. Preston asks for a microphone before a producer brought him one.)
"That, ladies and gentlemen, is what happens when a job gets tough and you need a little backup like any good hero needs. No one alone can withstand the force of villainous deeds on his own terms, but he can enlist a league of good doers who meets his cries of help. After all, that's what Jonathan had at Rush Hour and that's what he has had for a majority of his career…as he hides behind every crack and corner keeping all that lustrous gold for himself. William is a blind follower and can't be saved. You honestly think I thought he turned on Jonathan? Bullshit! It was a ploy to throw you all into his little pity party…so he can cry foul and say it was my doing. You think I'm that dumb? They can play it off, but not me…not these brothers…I happen to run into them Monday at the Studios and we hatched this very plan. Look, what I got out of it…the Television Championship. Look at this belt." Preston explained as he holds up his new prize to the hundreds of booing fans.
"This guy is so delusional it's unreal and he isn't even self-aware about it." Greg stated as he facepalmed.
"You all may think I cheated….or am I coward who can't fend for his self? That's bullshit as well, because I would've buried Jonathan's ass in that grave and sink his career for good! You all know it's true and he still gets a main event spot. This is the bedrock foundation for things to come so get used to seeing this title on the shoulders of a true hero. A true role model for your children to stand up to those holding them back and holding everyone accountable for their actions. This is only the beginning." Preston stated.
(Both Viktor and Chaos get Gates to his feet before Preston turns him around trying for another Cross Rhodes, but the crowd starts cheering as Jason David Frank takes off his suit jacket and drops his world title with Hank. He tears away his dress shirt exposing all his tattoos and Jason runs down the ramp straight into the cage tackling Viktor with a Spear and then hits a Judo Throw on Chaos to keep both brothers at bay. Preston bashes Jason in the face with his Television Championship and gets Jason up punching the back repeatedly as the Apocalyptic Brothers join making it 3-on-1.)
"Jason tried making the save, but he is facing a beatdown from these savage wolves hungry for his blood." Russ stated.
(Both Viktor and Chaos separated to different corners as Preston lifts Jason up hitting the world champion with the Cross Rhodes. He then gets Jason up to his feet letting his new partners hit Total Catastrophe on the legendary Green Ranger with all three men standing tall. Preston raised his Television Championship high as Jason and Gates laid on the canvas while Cody recovered outside on the ramp.)
"Well, Viktor and Connor are here in USPW and they aligned themselves with a false prophet. Apparently, Preston made a deal with them and they are now joining forces. They already made an impact winning the Television Championship and laying out the world champion." Russ stated.
"It's all bullshit in my eyes. Wanna talk about bullshit? Turning on the people who put in good words for you and gave you opportunity after opportunity and let you flourish on your accord. That's bullshit." Greg explained.
"In any case, coming up is our main event of the evening as six teams battle for the USPW Global Tag Team Titles. I just wonder what's gonna happen when these six step inside a steel cage and so much can happen. Stick with us." Jasmynn announced.
(Jonathan and William sized one another up with their titles visible in the background getting ready for their first title defense. Jonathan wore his normal hoodie along with green tights with silver triangles down each leg to black boots and William wore a back sleeveless shirt saying "Punch Harder' in bold orange letters and normal black shorts with black boots. They handed off their titles when the referee came to collect them and they did some warmup punches to each other to get ready.)
"The following contest is your CageZone main event of the evening and it is a Tag Team Turmoil match set to be contested inside a steel cage! It is for the USPW Global Tag Team Titles! Introducing the first team…" Richard announced as the referee is seen holding up both titles in the ring.
("Guilty Conscience (Instrumental)" by Eminem)
(Myron came out shirtless with orange pants on carrying his title as Jordan followed behind with a red banana around his head, orange pants on and white sneakers as Kotto came out last carrying a kendo stick with his hair in a bun wearing an open suit orange jacket, orange pants, and black sneakers. The crowd boo them as the members of Injustice made their way to the ring shouting at the fans.)
"Being accompanied to the ring by MLW World Middleweight Champion Myron Reed, representing Major League Wrestling, weighing in at a total combined weight of 318 lbs., Jordan Oliver and Kotto Brazil, this is Injustice!" Richard announced.
"These three used to run with Rich Swann till he left the promotion and they have seen some success after Reed captured his current title from Teddy Hart." Russ explained.
"They complain that company holds them back, but they are getting opportunities like that. Hypocrisy should be their faction name." Greg added.
(Jordan and Kotto motioned for the tag belts as they went up the steel steps with Myron staying outside as Jordan gets on the upper right corner badgering the audience while Kotto stands firmly in the middle.)
("My Last Breath" by Evanescence)
(The countdown came onscreen as the numbers went from 5 to 1 and the night sky lit up with spotlights as smoke covered the entranceway while Jonathan comes out with William in tow. Jonathan tore off his hood as the golden sparkles fell from the roof before they proceeded to the ring.)
"Introducing the second team…representing The Bloodline, weighing in at a total combined weight of 512 lbs., they are the current USPW Global Tag Team Champions, "The Instant Classic" Jonathan Steele and William Ashworth!" Richard announced.
"This challenge came to fruition after five teams approached the Bloodline hoping for a title shot and they granted all their wishes." Jasmynn reminded.
"William is the one that won those titles for the Bloodline and Jonathan joins him in defending them for the first time. Can these two survive the gauntlet?" Greg wondered.
(Jordan and Kotto rattled the cage as Jonathan took the steps up heading inside and William slammed the cage door behind him for the second ref to lock it up. Jonathan takes off his hoodie revealing a sleeveless blue shirt saying "Instant Fact I'm A Classic" in gold coloring with three yellow lines behind the words. The ref kept them separated as Richard came down to take the tag titles up to the commentary table.)
The bell rang as Jordan got Jonathan in the upper right corner punching right away at the head as Kotto hits William in the side with the kendo stick, but William gets barely fazed hitting a Brain Chop to the head of Kotto before getting him up as Jordan attacks William, but the big guy grabs both throats of the Injustice members before executing a Double Chokeslam. William gets Kotto up as Jonathan stood in the upper right corner running before hitting Kotto with a Spear. Jordan got to his feet before Jonathan hit a Spear on him as well. Jonathan gets Jordan up before locking up the arms and turning Oliver into a Lights Out. Jonathan pushes Jordan on his back hooking the right leg.
"1…2…3!" The ref counted as Injustice got eliminated quickly.
"Whoa! Record time for that elimination!" Greg exclaimed as he got shocked and Myron banged on the cage to protest the result.
"O…V…E! OHIO VERSUS EVERYTHING!"
(Kotto helped his partner out of the cage as Jake and Dave Crist of oVe were the next ones out attacking Injustice for that stunt last week before they helped themselves in the cage. Jake wore black eye paint along with a black tank top, black tights with white skulls on both legs with oVe down both legs in bold white and black boots with green laces. Dave tore away his goat mask wearing black tights like Jake's except a white flame on the bottom part and the oVe logo on the top part with black boots with green laces.)
"Here comes the Crist Brothers making their in-ring debut as they ruined the #1 Contender's Tag Team match last week which started oVe's ventures in USPW." Russ stated.
Both men come into the ring as Jake sticks hit tongue out at the tag team champions as Jonathan yells "Bring it, freaky!" as Jake goes to Jonathan and Dave punches William in the head as all four men batter one another. Jonathan brings a knee to Jake's gut, but Jake punches Jonathan three times in the stomach and then he hits a Jumping Neckbreaker on the Instant Classic. William pushes Dave away before he hits a Big Boot, but he gets a Superkick from Jake bringing him into the lower right corner before Jake climbs to the middle rope hitting rapid fire shots to the head before executing a Hurricarana. Jake then stomps a mudhole into the big man as he laughs at the audience booing him.
"Jake just starting to take control of the match after Dave gets sidelined, but it does not matter as oVe will look for any opening possible." Jasmynn stated.
Jake gets Jonathan up whipping him off the south end ropes before he tried for a Spin Kick, but Jonathan does a dodge bending back before hitting a Snap German Suplex to Jake. Jonathan gets up only to suffer a Running Knee Strike from Dave, but Jonathan bounces off the north end ropes again hitting a Rebound Lariat to Dave as he gets the other brother down. William gets up as he hits a Brain Chop to Jake's head keeping him down before lifting the craziest member of the faction up hitting a straight forward Powerbomb as Jake grabs his back in sheer pain. Jonathan then gets Dave up before shoving him into William getting grabbed by the throat hitting a Chokeslam as William covers hooking Dave's right leg.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Dave kicked out at 2.7!
"William with that big chokeslam, but Dave managing to get his second wind." Jasmynn observed.
William gets Dave up, but Dave low blows William and hits a Spinning Forearm to Jonathan as Jake hits a Superkick to the Instant Classic. Jonathan stumbles as Dave hits an Enzurgiri leading Jonathan to go into the upper left corner where Jake backs up as Dave whips him into Jonathan hitting a Corner Headbutt before Dave hits a Corner Dropkick. Jonathan stumbles into Dave's grasp as he and Jake hit a Assisted Double Underhook Piledriver to the Instant Classic as Dave hooks both legs.
"1…2…" The ref counted as William breaks the count at 2.6!
William hits a KO Punch to Jake as Dave ducks one and hits a Superkick, but Jonathan hits one of his own knocking Dave down. William gets Dave to his feet and hits a Chokebomb to the man as Jonathan climbs the lower right corner balancing himself grabbing the cage to hoist himself higher before staring intently jumping to hit a Flying Splash holding his stomach tightly. He covers Dave for the pin.
"1…2…3!" The ref counted as oVe is done for and eliminated as the crowd cheers.
("Bottoms Up" by Brantley Gilbert)
(Nick and Sammy came out tossing away their cowboy hats and brown leather jackets as Nick wore normal black trunks with 'ROLLINS' on the back in bold red and Sammy wore green trunks with 'MOONSHINE' in bold yellow as they wore red boots each running to the ring.)
"Next up is Bottoms Up Outlaws who Hank promised a shot after oVe ruined their spot in the main event last week." Russ explained.
Jake and Dave exited the cage grumbling and gave death glares to the Outlaws as the two teams were locked in a death stare for ten seconds before parting ways. Nick comes in as Jonathan tries for a clothesline, but Rollins rolls the through jumping off the upper right corner hitting a Moonsault. William and Sammy get in a punching war before Sammy gets the upper hand using both hands to perform punches and forearms before kneeing William in the gut hacking up before hitting a Step-Up Headscissors Takedown as the crowd cheers the Outlaws. Nick and Sammy get William up as they try for a Double Suplex struggling to get William up as the big man hits elbows to both men as he tries for a Double Chokeslam, but the Outlaws turn it around into a Double DDT. Sammy covers hooking William's right leg.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but William kicked out at 2.6!
"The Outalws building momentum and they may have the best claim out of all tag teams in this match. They were one of the teams to fight for their legitimate shot at the titles." Greg stated.
Sammy gets William up whipping him into the upper left corner as he hits a Corner Splash right off the bat. Nick rolls through jumping on William hitting a Hurricarana as William rolls up propped on Sammy's shoulders before he leans back into a Samoan Drop. The crowd cheers on the tag team moves as Nick hits a Senton Bomb before covering William again.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Jonathan broke the count up.
Sammy gets Jonathan in the stomach and pulls off his shirt, but Jonathan catches Sammy in a small cradle pin.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Nick pushed his partner to reverse into his own pin.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Jonathan kicked out at 2.7!
Sammy gets up as both cowboys tried for a Double Superkick, but Jonathan catches the boots as William runs off the west end ropes barreling down both Outlaws into the east cage wall at once. The Outlaws got confused as William grabbed Nick by the throat and Jonathan locked Sammy's arms up before Nick got sent to the mat with a Chokeslam and Sammy got put down with Lights Out! Jonathan pushes Sammy over on his back hooking the right leg.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Sammy kicked out at 2.5!
"Lights Out! Almost a three count, but Sammy keeps the dream alive as the Outlaws look to keep going from here." Russ stated.
Jonathan then brushed hair out of his face before getting Sammy to his feet and whipping him into the lower left corner to which Sammy uses the top rope to lift himself out of Jonathan's way when the Instant Classic went to ram Sammy. William tried catching Sammy with the KO Punch, but Sammy ducked hitting a Roundhouse Kick to stun William. He then picked William up hitting Keep it Down (Michinoku Driver) as he bridges the pin.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but William kicked out at 2.7!
William grabbed the back of his head as Jonathan came out of the corner hitting a Swinging Neckbreaker to Sammy. Nick gets up hitting a Roundhouse Kick to Jonathan's skull and then he rolled Jonathan up from behind so he got on top.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Jonathan kicked out at 2.6!
Jonathan rolls up to his feet as Nick tried for a Superkick, but Jonathan caught the foot turning Nick around before locking the arms behind the back, but Nick ducks down throwing Jonathan over his back before executing a Superkick to Jonathan taking down Steele. William gets up as Nick tries going for a Handspring Hurricarana, but William learned from his mistakes and lifted Nick up hitting a Bucklebomb in the lower left corner as the ricochet effect made Nick stumble into a KO Punch as Nick goes down. Sammy comes over and tries for a Backbreaker on William, but the big man threw Sammy over his shoulder down onto Nick.
"William is now gonna show these Outlaws a real rodeo." Greg stated.
William then gets both men up by their throats before hitting a Double Chokeslam before placing a foot on the chest of Nick.
"1…2…3!" The ref counted as the Outlaws have been eliminated from this match.
("Hybrid Flow" by Marcus Ruckus)
(The crowd cheered loudly as Jack Evans came out clapping his hands doing cartwheels down the ramp wearing a black jacket with a dark yellow shade and a green trim, black fingerless gloves, dark green shorts with black lines down the legs and black boots. Angelico does a dance himself wearing a black hat with a yellow front, a yellow body shirt with black flames around the bottom half, long black gloves, green tights, and black boots with bright green laces. He also wore a black body covering with a yellow trim as he tore it off and threw down his hat. Jack took off his jacket, but instead of the front entrance, he hops on the cage climbing as well as Angelico.)
Jonathan and William were confused by this as they started making their own way up as the crowd looked up with their heads seeing the two teams going to meet one another.
"Both Angelico and Jack don't know limits and they are always testing each other to see what they can break. This is normal for them." Greg explained.
"These boys kill it all the time in Mexico performing feats no normal human being could muster." Jasmynn added.
Jack started hitting an Enzurgiri to Jonathan's head as the Instant Classic barely held onto the top of the cage. Angelico grabbed William's head punching and punching as the big man kept his stamina up. Jonathan climbed onto the very top glaring Jack as both men started a punching war on top of the cage as Jonathan got the upper hand hitting a Headbutt to Jack before standing tall balancing, but Jack caught him in a pinch to the gut standing up himself. Angelico got on top of the cage and pushed William down onto the top rope before vaulting over hitting a Powerbomb down to the canvas! The crowd cheered and chanted "HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!" Jack tries hitting a DDT on top of the cage, but Jonathan reverses with an Atomic Drop as Jack holds his crotch and Jonathan punches the head a few times disturbing Jack's balance.
"Those two are risking their lives, because there's one way in and one way out." Russ stated.
Jonathan climbs back onto the cage wall before moving to his sides getting Jack on his behind before executing a Vertical Suplex off the top of the cage as all four men were down and out. Angelico gets up seeing his partner down for the count and he saw it needed to work over William before Jonathan got up as the high-flyer started hammering the back of the big man as William cried out in pain. Angelico gets him up hitting a Shuri Knee to the skull as William went blind before getting a Flatliner to the canvas and moving on locking William in a Figure-Four Leg Lock as the big man screamed in pain. Jonathan stirred a little as William tried punching at the leg lock he is currently in moving Angelico's left leg off him as the high-flyer couldn't reach to stop William. William broke the lock as both men get up and Angelico gets grabbed by the throat.
"Looks like Angelico should've stayed in bed this morning, because William will put him to sleep." Russ stated.
Jack rolled over and tripped up William as the big man goes down allowing Angelico to jump hitting a Double Foot Stomp on the back. Jack then gets up as Angelico holds the right leg and flips Jack onto William hitting a Standing 450 Splash. Jack hooked both legs.
"1…2…." The ref counted, but William kicked out at 2.7!
Jonathan gets up and Angelico tries for a Spinning Heel Kick, but Jonathan ducks and hits a Roundhouse Kick to send Angelico into the north end ropes before getting an Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex to the other side of the ring. Jack hits a Spin Kick to the gut and then a Pele Kick as Jonathan goes into the upper left corner. Jack then hits a Jumping Back Kick to the chin uppercutting Jonathan as the Instant Classic hops on the top rope. Jack climbs up with him punching the head a few times and wants to try for a Superplex, but William came over hitting a Body Takedown off the middle rope as Jack faceplanted holding his head. William gets the smaller man up putting him in a Electric Chair position before Jonathan jumps hitting their own Doomsday Device as Jack backflips off William's shoulders into the mat.
"The Bloodline with the Doomsday Device and Jonathan looking to put Jack away to end the night for the Hybrid. However, Angelico is still here for the potential save." Russ stated.
Angelico gets up hitting a Superkick to Jonathan taking him down and gives one to William as the big man stumbles back only for Angelico to do a cartwheel towards him before hitting a Headscissors Takedown. William goes on his back as Angelico hits a Standing Moonsault before booking the left leg.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but William kicked out at 2.7!
Angelico holds his head trying to figure out ways to get the Bloodline eliminated as Jack gets back to his feet dizzy, but able to stand. Jonathan gets up as Jack tries for a Cyclone Kick, but Jonathan rolls off to the side and then comes back with a Dragon Whip Kick knocking Jack to the canvas as Angelico tried for a clothesline, but Jonathan ducks down behind locking the arms and hitting Lights Out before turning Angelico on his back hooking both legs.
"1…2…3!" The ref counted as the Hybrid 2 failed in their endeavor.
("Lucha Bros" by Gangsta L)
(The final team arrived as Pentagon Jr. came out in his normal black mask with the white trim, but he wore a bright red sleeveless bodysuit, black tights with red crescent-shaped flames going down the legs to bright red boots and he wore red sports gloves with a black trim. Rey Fenix is shirtless wearing sparkly red tights with orange luchador mask symbols on the knees, black boots, and a red version of his normal mask. Both brothers pointed to the cage running down as Jack helped Angelico out.)
"This is it! It's Bloodline and Lucha Bros left and we can probably crown a new team as Global Tag Team Champions." Russ stated.
"They are the current AAA World Tag Team Champions so adding another set could very well be in their future as Penta is a well-known wrestler in AAA, PWG, and Impact and these two have met each other in Lucha Underground and AEW." Jasmynn read off her notes.
Pentagon stays outside to grab a weapon under the ring as Rey comes in through the middle rope hitting a Dropkick at a charging Jonathan. Rey also hits a Superkick to the knees of William before hitting a Sunset Flip Powerbomb on the big man. Jonathan gets up trying for a clothesline, but Rey performs a front flip envision before hitting an Overhead Kick and then running off the south end top rope hitting a Moonsault Kick to the head showing off the style of lucha libre. Pentagon Jr. brings in a table as the crowd cheers before the second referee closes and locked the cage door. Rey gets Jonathan up whipping him into the north end ropes trying for a Hurricarana, but Jonathan catches Rey stepping back so he crashed Rey face first into the north end cage wall, but Rey hung on as Jonathan locked up with Pentagon Jr.
"Rey doing extremely well showing off why these are the luchadors you don't want to meet down a dark alley." Russ explained.
Rey went to climb the cage as Pentagon hit a kick to the gut and a knee to the head before trying for a Piledriver, but Jonathan worked his way up on Penta's shoulders before hopping off behind him as the Instant Classic hit a back forearm. Jonathan then hit a Northern Lights Suplex as Pentagon grabbed his back in pain as William grabbed the right leg of Rey pulling him down and hitting a Reverse STO. William then helped Jonathan set up the table in front of the lower left corner as Jonathan slapped the front of gets Penta up before trying for a Vertical Suplex so Jonathan could dive for a Sit-Out Powerbomb through the table, but Penta wouldn't budge even after being lifted for a few inches. Jonathan climbed the lower left corner as William lifted Penta high leaning back so the famous luchador landed on Jonathan's shoulders, but Penta kicked the back of Jonathan throw him off balance.
"Pentagon Jr. on his own against Jonathan and William as he tries to save himself from taking a total loss." Greg stated.
Penta landed fully on the top rope pulling Jonathan in and hooking the arms trying for the Fear Factor (Package Piledriver), but William stood on the table trying for a German Suplex, but Rey hopped on the table hitting his own German Suplex off the table! Penta then tried for the Fear Factor and he connected sending Jonathan and himself through the table below them as the crowd cheered ballistically! Rey pulls Jonathan out of the wreckage picking him up and tries for the Fenix Driver (Sit-Out Tombstone Piledriver) and it connects as Rey hooks Jonathan's left leg.
"1…2…." The ref counted, but William broke the count before the three could be uttered.
"What the-?! William makes the save for his team!" Jasmynn exclaimed.
"These fans are going wild!" Greg exclaimed as he heard the defeating cheers around the pool.
Rey gets angry hitting William in the head, but William pushes the luchador away before grabbing the throat hitting a Chokeslam. William screams at the crowd as Penta comes up getting a Big Boot before getting a series of clotheslines and after three, William finishes his comeback style with a Leg Drop. He hooks both legs.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Penta kicks out at 2.5!
William puts his hands on his hips breathing heavily before getting up to ball up the right fist making the crowd chant "KO! KO! KO! KO! KO! KO!" Another section started chanting "LET'S GO BLOODLINE/LUCHA BROS!, LET'S GO BLOODLINE/LUCHA BROS!, LET'S GO BLOODLINE/LUCHA BROS!" as William backs up into the upper right corner waiting for Rey or Penta to get to their feet. Rey started stirring as William turned his attention to the little masked man and Jonathan shook his headache away trying to get his vision back. Rey got to his feet as William tried for the KO Punch, but Rey reversed ducking down before executing a Crucifix Pin on William!
"1…2…3!" The ref counted as the Lucha Bros couldn't believe it!
("Lucha Bros" by Gangsta L)
"Here are your winners and NEW USPW Global Tag Team Champions, the team of Rey Fenix and Pentagon Jr., The Lucha Bros!" Richard announced.
(Rey gets helped up by his partner as Jonathan shook his head and went to check on William while their titles were handed over to Penta and Rey. The crowd cheered them on and the Bloodline as well for the great tag team main event while the luchadors went over to their opponents. Jonathan shook Penta's hand and Rey patted William on the back as all four men showed good sportsmanship to one another.)
"What a match! These six teams got the spotlight and put it on themselves with their heightened stakes to leave a memorable match in USPW and independent history." Greg stated.
"Lucha Bros really brought the trouble to both Jonathan and William since both men like their old school ways of wrestling, but they have to keep up with Lucha Libre." Jasmynn stated.
(The Bloodline leave the cage a little disappointed at losing their titles, but it won't stop them from invoking their rematch clause on the Lucha Bros. However, both luchadors raise their titles to end off the night as the USPW logo flashes onscreen before the show ends.)
