May 17th, Week 3

TV-14

Now get the guns, the drugs

(A full moon in the night sky is shown, then chains swinging around, then you see Atem behind the chains.)

For my generation, I'll take the...

(Kaiba grins as the lights flicker. Then lights streak throughout a city then into an arena.)

(Ash hits a Superkick to Hudson) Come on (Ed roars with a passion)
(Samantha hits the Dark Dive to Saeko) Come on (Alex Loredo in pain)
(Sasuke hits the Venom) Come on (Beowulf roars to the crowd, Goldberg-style)

Let's get it on

(Sasuke stomps on the mat and he looks up with the eyes of the viper and a sinister grin)

(As the music plays and the lyrics repeat, you see the members of the band playing along with the lesbians, almost every wrestler in pain, various wrestlers hitting different moves, various Divas with sexy poses, and various superstars behind the swinging chains and flickering lights)

(Rogen hits the Double-handed Chokeslam to Terra and Carter) The lies (Jesse Spearing Kaiba, the H.O.T.D. Divas flying over the ropes)

The money (Kurt rubs his fingers in symbolism of money)

We're in this together (Jason hits the Gore on Alex right to the flaming table, and Takashi with the Crossface on Mason)

And through it all (Mason hits the Frog Splash from the ladder to Sasuke, and Naruto hitting the Ninja's Way on Clarke)

They said (Dante with his entrance and fire bursting from the stage, and Isaac screams as he holds the Walls of Clarke)

That nothing's forever (Marik and Bakura grin evilly behind the swinging chains)

And they refuse (Isaac hitting the Dementia on Naruto, the Eds hitting the Edquake at David Reigns)

To see (Téa with the Apricot Dominance to Kendra)

The change in me (Yugi and Atem on the turnbuckle posing with the Tag Belts, and the fans cheering in excitement)

Why won't they wake up?!

(Naruto stands in the ring as he raises the ACW Undisputed Championship high and then the logo of ACW: Awesome Championship Wrestling appears with impact.)

*Across the Nation by The Union Underground*

After the intro, red, blue, and purple pyro shoots out all over the stage before exploding on the sides of the TitanTron, and then just going left and right on the stage shooting out like a machine gun for a few seconds before one final blast out of multicolored pyro shot out of the stage. The lights came on immediately in the arena, and the crowd immediately roared ferociously in fervor, absolutely thrilled as cameras go all around to the crowd. The cameras switch to show Kenji and Zack at the announce table.

"Welcome, everybody, to Awesome Championship Wrestling live at the BJCC Arena in Birmingham, Alabama with 17,000 fans standing proud in the arena! Right now, we are just nine days away from ACW's second Pay-Per-View, Spring Breakdown! I'm Kenji freakin' Matsuo with half-brother, Zack freakin' Carver!" Kenji welcomed.

"Kenji, I am so excited for tonight's episode! And I still am after what happened last week," Zack said.

"That's right, last week, the contract signing was official between Naruto and Sasuke in this Non-Sanctioned Match, but that's not just it. Along with that match, we have Rogen Townsend as the guest referee!"

"And here's what else, that guy for once in ACW finally spoke his first words! But you know what else is more exciting? Our boss, Jesse Alvarez, is the chosen partner for Yugi and Atem's match against Kaiba, Marik and Bakura at Spring Breakdown!"

"That's right, man! After weeks of being in the hospital since his attack at PCUW, Jesse is back in action and he starts it off at Spring Breakdown! Here's what we got for tonight: from last week's Diva Match, Hinata Hyuga and Samantha Hart will have to defend their titles against the Hardcore Foundation's own Sara Verser and Roxanne Stone. But in order to do so, they have to prove their partnership tonight in a first-ever Divas Gauntlet Tag Team Match with the tag titles on the line."

"That's gonna be tough for both girls. And now, our main event tonight is a Eight-Man Tag Team Match featuring Altered Egos, Townsend, and Naruto against The Gods of Darkness and a debuting tag team."

"Well, now since that's out of the way, let's get this party started!"

"Damn straight!"

*You think you know me...?*

*Metalingus by Alter Bridge*

The fans instantly cheered as the strobe lights flash red, white and black all over the arena on and off as the guitars pick up and blast over the TitanTron, a thick grey fog begins to form on the stage.

*On this day, I see clearly everything has come to life

A bitter place and a broken dream

And we'll leave it all behind*

During the lyrics, Ichigo enters through the fog and goes from left to right at the stage pointing at the fans with energetic charisma, but still feel a little injured tonight.

*On this day, it's so real to me.

Everything has come to life

Another chance to chase a dream

Another chance to feel

Chance to feel alive!*

During the lyrics, Ichigo walks on the ramps, but stops at the middle and lowers his head. He makes a stance and does a Edge-pose as fireworks shoot like a machine gun from the stage with the colors of red, white and black.

*Bell rings*

"The following contest is set for one fall! Introducing first: from Karakura Town, Japan, weighing in at 145 pounds, "The Rated R Reaper" Ichigo Kurosaki!" Maria announced.

"Ichigo Kurosaki, known better as the 'Rated R Reaper' from UWE. This guy has done a lot in that company: 4-time Omega Champion, 3-time Galaxy Champion, 2-time and still current X-Treme Champion, 2012 Brass Ring Winner, and 2009 Rumble Royale Winner," Kenji stated.

"This guy debuted here on ACW about almost a month ago against Naruto and Vergil in a Triple Threat Match and he, by far, was impressive. Now, given a second match right now, he'll probably kick off ACW with a bang," Zack stated. "I gotta tell, I hope Ichigo is ready to go since his match at UWE Barely Legal."

"No kidding. After his match against Sweet Tooth, I don't think Ichigo was ever the same."

Ichigo stands on the second rope and does another Edge-pose with a smirk before pointing to the crowd and stepping down and his theme soon fades.

*Rain Maker by New Japan Pro Wrestling*

Entering the stage was a young Japanese man with blue eyes, short blond spiky hair, and a goatee while wearing a red and gold long sleeve coat with a gold collar, gold necklaces and chains, short red wrestling tights with gold tribal design, red knee pads, red wrestling boots with gold tribal design.

"And his opponent: making his debut on ACW, from Shinjuku, Japan, weighing in at 229 pounds, "Rainmaker" Ryuunosaki Okato!"

"Hey, I've heard of this guy! Ryuunosaki Okato, trained under the very best of New Japan Pro Wrestling. This guy is know for his sense of honor, loyalty, and respect," Kenji stated.

"Not just that, this guy is the only person to donate some of his money to charities as well as making money rain from the rafters to the fans," Zack stated. "Oh, hang on!"

As Okato stands at the middle of the stage, he spreads his arms out and money falls from the rafters. Many of the fans see the money falling and even Ichigo as he looks at the money fall upon them.

"Holy crap, man! Are you seeing this?" Zack asked.

"It's raining money, man! Make it rain, Okato!" Kenji laughed.

Okato walks down the ramp and opens his coat to reveal gold chains and necklaces. He slides in the ring, stands on the second ring rope on a ringpost and spreads his arms out. As soon as the music and lights die down, Ryuunosaki steps down and he takes off his coat. Both Ichigo and Okato stand their respective corners and the ref calls for the bell.

*Bell rings*

Okato and Ichigo go into to the center and before they go into a lock-up, Okato bows in respect to Ichigo. Ichigo did the same and both guys go to a tie-up. The lock-up goes for a little while until Ichigo changes it to a Side Headlock. Okato then pushes him off to the ropes and Ichigo hits it and takes Okato down with a Shoulder Block. Kurosaki runs back to the ropes while Okato kips-up, and when Ichigo came back, Ryuunosaki grabs with a Hip Toss, but Ichigo stays on his feet and throws Okato with his own Hip Toss. Okato stands at the corner as Ichigo hits a Shoulder Thrust to the midsection. Then he grabs the arm, Irish Whips him to the opposite corner, Okato runs all the way to the top as Ichigo followed, and Okato jumps off with a Diving Moonsault! Ichigo, however, stops at the corner and Okato lands on his feet. Kurosaki turns around to receive a huge Dropkick from Okato! Okato covers; 1... Ichigo kicks out at one. Okato picks Ichigo, puts him at the corner, and hits a Knife Edged Chop to the chest, receiving "Woos!" from the crowd. Then Okato puts Ichigo at the ropes and Irish Whips him to the opposite. Kurosaki hits it, Ryuunosaki bends forward for a Back Body Drop while Ichigo came back, only for him to counter with a Swinging Neckbreaker. Ichigo hooks the leg; 1... Okato gets the shoulder up. Ichigo grabs Ryuunosaki by the head, sets him in the Front Headlock, walks back to the corner, climbs on the second rope, jump off and hits a Tornado DDT. He hooks the leg again; 1, 2... Ryuunosaki kicks out again at two. By then, Ichigo is on his feet and hits a Jumping Elbow Drop across Okato's chest. He picks him up again, hooks the arms, and throws Okato over with a Butterfly Suplex.

"Ichigo taking complete control of the match," Kenji stated. "Pretty good so far. Wonder when Ryuunosaki can make a comeback."

Ryuunosaki lies on the second ropes. Bad idea as Ichigo notices, runs to the ropes, bounces off, goes to Okato, and hits a Rope Attack to him. Kurosaki drags Okato back to the center of the ring before hitting a Double Ax Handle Elbow Drop and putting the shoulders down; 1, 2... The Rainmaker kicks out at a near-fall. Ichigo picks him again, pushes him to the ropes, and Okato stops right there. Ichigo runs for a Clothesline, but Okato ducks it and throws him over the top ropes, making Ichigo hit the padded floor! As he shook his head, Okato runs to the ropes, bounces off, and when he returned, he leaps over the ropes, and hits Ichigo with a Over-the-Top-Rope Rolling Senton! Both men are down and the crowd is loving the match so far with thunderous cheers.

"My goodness, what a dive by this young superstar!" Kenji exclaimed, "Freaking amazing, man!"

"That's definitely the Ryuunosaki Okato we know," Zack stated.

Okato is the first to stand up as Ichigo is resting on the steel steps. The Rainmaker sees this and walks to him. He grabs him by the head from behind and slams his skull on the steps before throwing him inside the ring. Ichigo is standing on his knees while Okato runs to the ropes, leaps on the second ropes, and bounces off with a Springboard Dropkick and nails right Ichigo's chest. He goes for the cover; 1, 2... Ichigo gets the foot on the rope and the ref sees it! Okato got a little irritated after that rope break and brings Ichigo to his feet again. Putting him on the ropes, Ryuunosaki slaps the chest with a Knife Edge Chop as fans "Woo!" from hearing the smack. With Ichigo feeling the pain, Okato pulls him to the opposite ring ropes, only for Ichigo to counter and throws him to the ropes. Ryuunosaki then jumps on the second ropes and bounces off for another Springboard Dropkick, but Ichigo sidesteps it and Okato hits the mat right on his chest. Ichigo picks him up by the head and looks for a DDT, but Okato spins out of it kicks him in the midsection and sets his head up for the Reverse Neckbreaker. Then Ichigo turns it around when he gets out of it and hits the Shallow Head (Edge-O-Matic)! He grabs the leg; 1, 2... Okato kicks out! With this, Ichigo quickly goes to the opposite corner, crouches, and readies himself for the Shinigami Strike as fans start chanting "Spear! Spear! Spear!".

"Look at Ichigo's face. He's ready to put Ryuunosaki away," Zack stated. "You can even hear the fans chant 'Spear' for Ichigo."

Ryuunosaki stands using the corner to help him up, Ichigo still stalks him, Okato turns away from the corner and Ichigo sprints right at him... only to be sidestepped and he hits head-first to the second turnbuckle instead! Okato then gets him out of the turnbuckle and goes for the Belly to Back Suplex and nails it! He covers, shoulders are down; 1, 2... Kurosaki's able to get the shoulder up at two and a half! Okato can't believe this as he shook his head in irritation. He looks back to his opponent and brings him to his feet by the head. But only to be pushed off, kicked in the midsection and have Ichigo hit him with the Slaying Moon (Lifting DDT transitioned to a Sitout Facebuster)! After Ryuunosaki being hit by that and sitting up, Ichigo goes to the corner and waits for another chance at the Shinigami Strike. Okato stands up and when he turns back, Ichigo immediately runs right at him and finally hits the Spear!

"Ichigo finally hits it!" Zack exclaimed. "Cover!"

He hooks the leg; 1, 2, 3!

"He wins!" Kenji exclaimed.

"Here is your winner, "The Rated R Reaper" Ichigo Kurosaki!"

"I gotta say, that was an instant Match of Awesomeness," Kenji stated. "Too bad the newcomer didn't win, but this has got to be some great experience for him against the Rated R Reaper."

"You are right about that, Kenji," Zack agreed. "This is one night that kid will never forget."

As Ichigo stands with with both fists in the air, proud to be the winner, Okato stands near the corner, looking on at Ichigo with his win. Both Superstars look to each other and Okato bows to him in respect. Ichigo smirked and bows back to him, earning cheers from the fans. Soon, Okato leaves the ring and Ichigo stands at the turnbuckle with a Edge-pose. The cameras then change to show Vergil at an interview setup with Clarissa Rivera, whom seemed to look a bit nervous as she had a small pink hue across her face.

"H-Hi, everybody. Clarissa Rivera here with the XCF Hall-of-Famer, V-Vergil," Clarissa introduced anxiously. "Okay. Now, Vergil, everyone last week saw what happened out there between you and your brother Dante. You went out there to help your brother, which you've despised since the very beginning. Why is it that you did that?"

"It's simple, Rivera. Dante and I specifically said that after his match at Southern Hell, we'd settle the score here are ACW after so long," Vergil answered. "Unfortunately, there's been a bump on the road with Hattori Hanzo being the paid mercenary of Kurt Hudson to attack Dante and ruin his matches. The only person that handles Dante is me. The only one that should fight Dante is me. So when I came out to the ring and assaulted Hudson and Hanzo with that Singapore stick, I wasn't doing Dante a favor. I was just reminding him that we still have our deal. That's all that matters to me now. And after all this is over, not only am I going after Dante... I'm going after the United States Championship. That's all I can say to you."

He stops there as the cameras pan to show Dante with the U.S. Title over his shoulders and had a smirk on his face and fans cheered at the sight of him.

"Well, isn't that sweet of you, Vergil?" Dante sarcastically said. "Being there for your brother when he was in trouble the most, but that's not the case here, isn't it? I already know about our deal, Vergil; I haven't forgotten about it. Even I want to face you. After this whole 'truce' is done along with those smug bastards, I'm not gonna hesitate to take you down. That's for damn sure. And if you want my United States Title... come and get it."

Vergil only smirked, "Hmph. Such a simple fool as usual, brother."

With that, Vergil leaves the interview as Dante watches him leave.

"Man, that guy can be such a..." Dante drifts off to see Clarissa blushing and still looking at the direction Vergil left. "Clarissa? Clarissa." he waves in front of her face, "Hey!"

Clarissa returned to reality and sees Dante with a raised brow, "What, what is it?"

Dante could see the blush on her face, "...Well, this is awkward. I'm just gonna leave."

Now Dante leaves the interview setup and Clarissa turns to the direction Vergil took and still blushes. The cameras change to the backstage to show Hanzo on the phone.

"What do you mean, you're taking the night off" Hanzo asked. "...Hudson, what the hell am I supposed to do? ...What?! ...You want me to take care of Alyssa? ...I'm not your f%king babysitter! I'm a f%king mercenary! ...Look, you know we have to deal with Dante and Vergil at Spring Breakdown. ...All right, all right. I got it. ...I'll do whatever I can to keep her occupied."

Hanzo hangs up on his phone and sees Alyssa was behind him with her arms crossed and had a raised eyebrow at him.

"What?" Hanzo questioned.

"Well, I can tell you're very excited of taking care of me while Kurt is gone," Alyssa sarcastically answered.

"Look, I'm sorry. It's nothing personal. It's just that I was hired by Hudson to be a mercenary, not someone's babysitter."

"Well, you don't have to worry about that. I can take care of myself."

However, when Alyssa took a step and her high-heel shoe broke as she was about to fall, but Hanzo catches her by the arm and brings her to him at a very close distance. Both Alyssa and Hattori blushed when they were close as fans woo over this. Hanzo then backs away a bit as Alyssa leaned on the wall.

"Uh... you okay?" Hanzo asked.

"Y-Yeah. I think I hurt my ankle," Alyssa answered.

"Come on, let's get you to the Trainer's Room to get that checked out."

"Um... okay."

With that, Hanzo helps Alyssa walk their way to the Trainer's Room.

(Commercial Break)

The cameras return to the arena with Maria Lopez standing in the ring.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall!"

*Chillin' by Wale*

The crowd immediately turns to boos and some cheers when the lights turn yellow and blue and the music played. At the left side of the stage, the same 1965 Impala with Hydraulics comes out with Tony and Adrian in it. The car stops and both brothers step out of the vehicle.

"Introducing first: accompanied by Tony—"

"Hold it, hold it, hold it there, sexy!" Tony interrupted, receiving boos from the crowd. "Don't waste your breath introducing my boy here. I'll do it for ya." both brothers slowly walk their way to the ring, "Now, as of last week, me and my bro, 'A' Adrian, debut against the World Tag Team Champs and you know what happened? We won! We won against the tag champs and our careers skyrocketed since then! We've have been the most talked about tag team after our win. We're bigger than Altered Egos. We're bigger than the Hardcore Foundation. We're bigger than H.O.T.D. Hell, we're even bigger than any other tag team throughout the entire world, baby! And now since my boy, Adrian, is in his first singles competition, he's gonna prove again why we're the greatest tag team ever to spread the 'awesomeness' of the Blake Family." both brothers stand in the ring, "So let me introduce to y'all accompanied by yours truly, "Hot Flash" Tony Blake, from Washington D.C., weighing in at 289 pounds, he is "A" Adrian Blake!"

The crowd boos at Adrian as he raises both fists in the air.

"So... who's gonna be the first sucka to step in the ring and be annihilated by A here? Unless you're too much of a wuss to actually to do so. C'mon out here, buddy. Don't worry, Adrian's not gonna hurt ya. He's just gonna annihilate you to oblivion until he makes you—"

Then the lights completely went out in the arena.

"What the hell? What happened to the lights?" Zack asked.

"I don't know, but at least we don't have to hear that smug bastard," Kenji said.

Then at the stage, the sounds of whispers comes throughout the arena and fans already knew who was back as they cheered in excitement. At the TitanTron, symbols appear on the screen, then a voice saying, "Make us whole..." And the symbols bursts away to show light.

*Caaaaaaage!*

*Bullet with Butterfly Wings by Smashing Pumpkins*

The lights come back on with Isaac standing at stage in a Y2J-pose before turning to the fans with a smirk and had a mic in his hand.

"And his opponent: from The American Republic of Earth, weighing in at 226 pounds, Isaac Clarke!" Maria announced.

"Hey, it's Isaac Clarke! He's back!" Zack exclaimed. "What a surprise after three weeks!"

"After three weeks since his match at Southern Hell, Isaac Clarke has returned tonight and he's here to shut those bastards mouths!" Kenji claimed.

While the ref tells Tony to stand outside of the ring, Isaac stands at the middle of the ramps as his music dies down and he starts to speak into the mic.

"Did I hear that just right?" Isaac chuckled with a scoff. "You guys? The 'greatest tag team ever'? You got to be kidding me, man. What really happened at your match was simple: you guys were so close to losing, but then three assholes came out to the ring, beat the crap out of Yugi and then you, 'A' Adrian, seized the opportunity to finish him off with the Blake Drop and got the win. That's it. You only had help from a simple rich bitch and his self-proclaimed gods. Here's another thing, since you, Tony, love to talk so much, the fans and I have a special message for you: Would you please SHUT... THE HELL... UP!" Isaac receives cheers from the crowd as Tony and Adrian looked pissed. "Oh, wait! I have another message! But it's not from me or the fans; it's from MTV! They said, 'Johnny Knoxville needs two more people to put in his next movie of Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa.' But hang on, where could he find those two people to fit as jackasses? Oh, wait! We can see the both of them at the ring right now!" the crowd started laugh from Isaac's jokes as Tony and Adrian did not like that at all. "Hope you liked those messages, boys. Because there's a lot more where that came from, 'sucka' and tonight, on ACW's special episode of Jackass, I'm gonna kick the living hell out of yours, 'A' Junior."

The crowd cheers again as Isaac drops the mic and runs his way into the ring and starts hitting Adrian with multiple right fists. The ref calls for the bell as Isaac keeps going. However, it didn't last long when Adrian blocks his next punch, and, with brute strength, pushes Isaac across the ring near the corner. As Isaac stands, Adrian sprints right at him, but Clarke ducks it and Adrian hits the turnbuckle chest-first. With this, Isaac jumps and hits a Dropkick behind Adrian, making him hit the turnbuckle again before catching him with a Schoolboy Pin; 1... Blake kick out at one. Adrian is on his knees as Isaac ran to the ropes and bounces off, but only for Adrian to hit a Big Boot right at the skull. Tony rooted for his brother as he picks up Isaac with both hands and throws him at the corner. With Isaac there, Adrian starts hammering him with multiple punches to the skull before the ref starts breaking it up. Adrian backs away and the official moves. Then A runs right Isaac, going for a vicious Clothesline, but Clarke lifts his foot up and hits the jaw! With A staggering back, Isaac climbs on the second rope for a diving maneuver. Adrian looks to Isaac and he jumps off with a Diving Double Ax Handle to Adrian's head. Yet, Adrian still stands and is dizzy from that Ax Handle. Clarke then runs to the ropes, bounces off and hits Adrian's knee with a Dropkick, putting him on one foot. Isaac stands and hits a Knee Lift to Adrian, finally sending him down. He hooks the leg; 1, 2... Blake kicks out at two as Tony thought it was over from there.

"Isaac hit many shots to Adrian, he was still standing until that Knee Lift the skull," Kenji stated. "Isaac must be thinking, 'What's it gonna take to keep this guy down?' That's what's racing through his mind right now in this match."

As Adrian starts to get up, Isaac quickly sprints to the ropes, bounces off, and nails him with a One-handed Bulldog from behind, making his head bounce off the mat. Then Clarke stands tall and shouts to the crowd, "I'm back, baby!" and he receives cheers from them. Clarke goes to the near corner and climbs to the top rope. While he waits, Adrian starts to get up on his feet. When he stands and turns, Isaac leaps off the top turnbuckle for Diving Crossbody. But Adrian catches him in midair! With this, Adrian sets Isaac ready, crouches, and throws him across the ring with a Fallaway Slam! Tony smirked at the sight of seeing his brother finally taking control of the match and rooted for his brother. As Isaac felt his back in pain from that slam, Adrian readies a Clothesline for him as he swings his right arm around. Isaac stands up, Adrian charges right at Clarke, going for the Clothesline and Isaac hits a Low Dropkick to the knee and Adrian hits face-first to the turnbuckle! As Adrian rests at the turnbuckle, Isaac hits the spine with a forearm before lifting him up to the top. Isaac steps on the second ropes and hits Adrian on the back one more time before stepping to the top. He gets the arm over, sets him up, and hits the Super Back Suplex right from the turnbuckle! Both men are down and Isaac crawls to him for a cover; 1, 2... Adrian kicks out at two and a half! Isaac, however, is not surprised as he knew it wouldn't work, but he knows it weakens him a little bit. As Adrian starts to get up, Isaac grabs him by the head and puts him between his legs, looking for the Dementia. However, Adrian counters by throwing Isaac over him with a Back Body Drop and Isaac goes over the top ropes and lands on the padded floor hard!

"Oh, damn! That's a unbelievable counter by Adrian!" Zack exclaimed. "Isaac was about to finish this off with the Dementia, but Adrian was able to counter with that Back Body Drop."

While Isaac felt the pain in his back, Adrian already steps out of the ring and has him standing by the guardrail as the ref counts; 1...! Then A lifts him up in a Military Press Slam and throws him down chest-first on the barricade, making Isaac fall on the padded floor again; 2...! 3...! Adrian grabs Clarke by the legs and drags him near the ringpost; 4...! 5...! He has him set up in slingshot and nails it with Isaac hitting the post right at the skull! Isaac still stands and staggers near the apron and Adrian grabs him from behind and throws him back inside; 6...! Adrian gets back inside the ring and the ref stops at six. Blake grabs him by the head and slams him down on the mat with a powerful Spinebuster. He hooks the leg; 1, 2... Clarke kicks out a two. Adrian kept that scowl on his face when Isaac kicked out. Adrian stands up along with Isaac as he picked him up by the arm, sets him up in a STO position, looking for the Blake Drop. He goes for it and Isaac jumps out of it! Adrian turns around and Isaac hits him with the Markerbreaker (Codebreaker)!

"Holy crap! That was new!" exclaimed Kenji.

"I've never seen that from him before!" Zack exclaimed.

He hooks the leg; 1, 2, 3!

*Bell rings*

"Here is your winner, Isaac Clarke!"

"Freaking awesome way to end a match with a brand new finisher by Isaac Clarke," Kenji stated. "Gotta tell ya, it is great to see— What the hell!"

Kenji stopped at mid-sentence when Isaac's celebration was interrupted by Tony's chair shot from behind as fans boo heavily.

"Oh, come on, Tony! Do you have to be a sore loser?" Zack questioned.

Tony kept beating Clarke down with the chair as Adrian gets up and sees his brother beating the hell out of Isaac. Tony gives the chair to his brother and now he starts hitting Isaac with the chair and it is close to being bent. Adrian throws the chair out of the ring and shouts to the fans while showing off his muscles and they boo loudly. Adrian angrily picks up Isaac and sets him up for the Blake Drop. Tony follows, and both Blakes nod to each other and hit the Double Blake Drop to Isaac. Both Adrian stand tall over Isaac as Tony orders for a mic. The crew passes one to him and Tony starts speaking into it.

"Yo, Isaac! Looks like you're the perfect guy to fit as a Jackass member. Because you just got your ass kicked by the Blakes themselves! At Spring Breakdown, what do you say me and my boy, Adrian, take you on and a partner of your choice in a Tag Team Match? Wait, you're silence of pain means yes. You would love to get your ass kicked again by the Blake Brothers! Be ready, Dead Space Devil, because we're gonna beat the living hell out of you, punk!"

Tony then throws the mic on Isaac and both brothers soon leave the ring as fans still boo at them.

"This was absolutely disgusting! Both Tony and Adrian were coward enough to attack Isaac from behind after his win," Kenji snarled.

"Well, for one thing, I hope Isaac finds a partner soon for Spring Breakdown, if not, then the Blake Bros won't shut the hell up," Zack stated.

Tony and Adrian stand at the stage with cocky smirks on their faces while Isaac aided his head and gritted his teeth at them. The cameras change to TitanTron to show Jason with the Hardcore Title and a sinister smirk on his face along with the words saying below him, "Next: Jason Krueger returns to ACW".

"All right, guys, coming up next is the return of the Hardcore Champion, the member of the Rookie Revolution, Jason Krueger along with the debuting RC Bane as the Virus Rebellion. Don't miss it!" Kenji announced.

(Commercial Break)

The cameras come back from commercial to show Isaac walking backstage with his hand aiding his head from the attack.

"Ah, my head," Isaac groaned.

"Isaac!" shouted a male voice.

Isaac turns to see Mike catching up to him and he stops near him.

"Isaac, I just saw what happened out there in the aftermath of your match. What do you have to say about the Blakes' challenge?" Mike asked.

"Well, as Tony proclaimed of me accepting it, I did. And for one thing, they have no idea what they've just unleashed," Isaac stated. "They have no idea what Isaac Clarke has up in his sleeve. And as for my partner of choice, I've already made up my mind. And here's a hint: he's an old friend of mine from a certain company."

With that, Isaac leaves out of the camera's sight. It then changes to show Téa sitting on a bench with the Women's belt by her side, looking worried as Yugi tying up his wrestling boots.

"Yugi, you don't have to do this. I can take care of myself," Téa said.

"Yes, I do, Téa. I understand you can take of yourself, but I can't take that chance with Bakura and Marik lurking around here to get to you," Yugi stated.

"Yugi, I appreciate you having me in your locker room and your concerns for me, but I can handle myself."

"Look, Joey and Tristan were already attacked. I can't the same fate that happened to them happen to you," Yugi then takes her hand and bends on one knee without noticing as the crowd starts wooing over this. "Please, trust me. I need you to be safe."

Téa, however, already noticed her hand in Yugi's as she blushed.

"Um, Yugi? You're holding my hand."

Yugi looks down to see his hand and he quickly took his back while blushing.

"Oh! I, uh... S-Sorry. That was rude of me..."

"It's okay, Yugi," Téa brushed her hair back and giggled. "I'm not mad at you for doing that."

"Um... Okay, then..." Yugi stands up, still with a blush on his face. "Um... I'll, I'll just go. I'm gonna go check on Atem, to see how he's doing."

Yugi leaves out of the camera's sight as Téa looked on, still with the smile on her face and feels the hand Yugi has touched. The cameras change to show Kenji and Zack at the announce table.

"Well, from what we can tell here, Yugi is very concerned about this. If I were in his shoes, I would've done the same thing for anyone I cared for," Kenji stated.

"Yeah? Well, how about with what Yugi just did with Téa? That shows something more than being concerned," Zack stated

"Well, you'll never know what happens."

"True. Moving on, still on the subject, if we remember, these past two weeks, Tristan Taylor and Joey Wheeler were assaulted. Still questioning on Tristan's attack as well as Joey's! If it couldn't be either Bakura, Marik, or Kaiba, then who the hell could it be?"

"I don't know, but I hope to find out sooner than later."

*Bell rings*

"The following Tag Team contest is set for one fall!"

*Young by Hollywood Undead*

The crowd boos loudly as the Hardcore Champion walks out to the stage with the belt on his shoulders along with RC Bane. Both teammates stand at the middle of the stage as they look around the arena of Birmingham and fans continue to boo.

"Introducing first: at a combined weight of 413 pounds, they are members of the Rookie Revolution, the team of RC Bane and the ACW Hardcore Champion, "The Gore Machine" Jason Krueger!" Maria announced.

"After three weeks since his match against Alex Loredo and becoming the first Hardcore Champ, Jason Krueger returns tonight on ACW," Zack stated.

"I gotta tell ya, man. That match throughout all of Fictional Wrestling history is one of the most brutal and bloodiest matches anyone's ever seen. Southern Hell was pretty successful because of that match," Kenji stated.

Jason and Bane already stand in the ring as Jason prepares to speak into the mic in his hands and their music dies down.

"About three weeks ago at ACW's first-ever Pay-Per-View, Southern Hell, I made history that day. I became the first-ever ACW Hardcore Champion!" Jason stated as fans booed. "And from that point on, Alex was finished from there. Our rivalry ended right there, and I'll admit, that kid definitely earned the right to be called the Extreme Warrior," the crowd cheers from that. "But that doesn't matter as of tonight. Because tonight, not only Jason Krueger has returned, he's also debuting a tag team on ACW called the Virus Rebellion with his best friend, RC Bane," Bane smirked as the crowd still boos. "And as for our opponents, Marcus King and ACW Intercontinental Champ, Mason Stone, they have no chance in hell against the Virus Rebellion because they don't deserve the name of Hardcore..."

Jason stops as a bell is sounded at the TitanTron and the lights turn dim as the fans started cheering for what happens next.

*For Whom the Bell Tolls by Metallica*

After the bell was done, guitars picked up the first time and lights burst before going dim. It does again the second time before going dim. A third one happens as Mason and Marcus have already shown up. The lights come back on and Marcus and Mason stand at the stage with focused looks on their faces.

"And their opponents: at a combined weight of 485 pounds, they are members of the Hardcore Foundation, the team of Marcus King and the ACW Intercontinental Champion, "The Dark Saint" Mason Stone, the Hardcore Dynasty!"

"Mason Stone and Marcus King, both men are the best of friends and as well members of the stable the Hardcore Foundation," Kenji stated. "However, Marcus King already has a problem with the SHIELD with their win last week because of a crooked ref named Luke Smith."

"Definitely one we didn't see coming at all. As of last week, quoted by the leader, Hector Ambrose, 'Justice has been quadrupled'," Zack stated.

Mason and Marcus nod to each other and rush inside the ring, wasting little time and going after Jason and Bane. The bell is rung and it's an all-out war between both tag teams. Marcus is at Bane while Mason is on Jason as they go back and forth with the punches. King kicks Bane in the gut before hitting him with a Clothesline over the top rope. Marcus steps out as Mason pulls Jason out of the ropes with an Irish Whip to the opposite, but Jason reverses it and hits a Shoulder Block to Stone and then hits him with a Elbow Drop to the chest. Krueger brings him up by the head and hits a right haymaker to him. Mason stands at the corner as Krueger starts hitting him with multiple Shoulder Thrusts as the ref tells him to get out and give Stone some room. Jason gives one last thrust before backing away. Krueger then charges right at Stone for a Corner Clothesline, but Mason moves out of the way and Krueger hits the turnbuckle instead. With this, Stone hits Krueger with a Dropkick to the back and he hits the turnbuckle again before grabbing him from behind and nailing the German Suplex with a pin; 1, 2... Jason gets the shoulder up before three. As Jason is on his knees, Stone brings him up by the head, sets him up in a Suplex, and nails it. He covers again; 1, 2... Kick out by Krueger. Mason brings him up again, but he pushes him to the ropes, Stone bounces off and Jason attacks him with a Clothesline. Then Jason starts stomping on Stone with a hell-hath-no-fury attitude. Krueger stops, runs to the ropes, bounces off, and lands a Leg Drop across the face.

"Man, Jason's showing he's the same person from Southern Hell," Zack stated. "He's brutal as usual."

At the corner, Bane stands ready for a tag and Jason drags Stone to his corner and tags out. Bane steps inside, Krueger sets Stone up, and Bane hits an elbow to the ribs. Jason steps out of the ring while Bane puts Mason in a Front Headlock, and hits him with the DDT. He hooks the leg; 1, 2... Stone kicks out at two and Bane starts hitting him with Mounted Punches across the face. Bane gets as he brings Stone to his feet, lifts him up and slams him down with a brutal Spinebuster! Bane looks to the ropes, runs to it, jumps on the second ropes, bounces off and lands the Lionsault! He hooks the leg; 1, 2... Mason kicks out at two and half! Bane looked a little furious since he can't get that fall. By then, he grabs him by the waist, sets him up, and looks for the Virus Impact (Gutwrench Powerbomb). However, as he tries to, Marcus already rushes into the ring and hits a Running Big Boot right to the face! Krueger rushes in the ring and starts hitting King with multiple fists of fury at the skull. He then runs to the ropes, bounces off, and gets caught by Marcus at the throat! Jason shook his head, telling Marcus not to do it, but King only smirked, shouts to the crowd and goes for the Chokeslam, but Krueger catches him by the head and lands a DDT on the mat! Marcus rolls out of the ring as Krueger talks trash to him on his way out. However, Krueger doesn't know that Mason is already behind him. Krueger turns around and Mason nails Breaking the Light to him! Krueger rolls out of the ring and Marcus already stands up and goes to work on Jason. The ref gets distracted as well as Mason, but sneaking from behind, Bane has a steel chair ready to attack.

"Oh, no. Bane has the chair! Bane has the illegal weapon in his hands, ready for Mason," Zack stated.

Mason turns around and gets hit in the midsection by the chair! Bane sets the chair down flat, sets Mason up again, and finally hits the Virus Impact on the chair! Bane takes the chair out and throws it out before shouting to the ref. He hooks the leg; 1, 2, 3!

"Damn it! Those sons of bitches stole the match!" Kenji snarled.

"Here are your winners, RC Bane and the ACW Hardcore Champion, Jason Krueger, the Virus Rebellion!" Maria announced.

"You have got to be kidding me, man! Bane and Krueger stole the win with that chair shot!" Kenji continued.

"Kenji, you're not the only one who's pissed at this happening. Bane seized the opportunity of that distraction and was able to finally hit that Virus Impact, but on the steel chair," Zack clarified.

Bane and Krueger stands at the stage with the grins on their faces as Jason raises his belt high with both arms. Mason is on his knees as Marcus is by him and they can't believe this happened to them. However, it's gonna take a far turn for the worse.

*Sierra. Hotel. India. Echo. Lima. Delta. SHIELD*

*Special Ops by Jim Johnston*

"Oh, no... Not them! Why now, dammit!" Kenji groaned.

When the song played, Marcus and Mason quickly looked all around the arena to find where could the SHIELD could be at. They see them coming from each corner of the arena steps; one by one. All SHIELD members go over the barricade and stalk Marcus and Mason as they stand ready to fight. All SHIELD members looked to each other, Ambrose nods and they step into the ring and go to attack Mason and Marcus, but they fight back. Mason is at Ambrose and Luke while Marcus is at Reigns and Rollins. However, Luke kicks the Mason's knee and he's down while with Marcus, he gets hit in the gut by Erik and David hits him right at the face. Both Erik and David are stomping King down as Luke and Hector are doing the same to Stone and fans are still booing heavily. They stop with the stomps and David has Mason ready for a Powerbomb. Before he and the rest could do so, the boos turn into cheers as three members, Tyson Stone, Nolan Gates, and Brent Harrison of the Hardcore Foundation run at the ramps. They run inside ring and start taking down the SHIELD members along with Mason who is up already.

"Look at this here, it's an all-out war between the Hardcore Foundation and the SHIELD!" Zack exclaimed. "War has happened here, man!"

Already the SHIELD run out of the ring, wanting nothing to do with the Hardcore Foundation members. They stand at the ramps as the rest of the Hardcore Foundation members stand in the ring. Tyson grabs a mic and speaks into it.

"All right, SHIELD, we have had just about enough of this bullcrap you guys are pulling! The Hardcore Foundation is sick and tried of you assholes bringing 'justice' into this company!" Tyson shouted. "Because at Spring Breakdown, as Jesse declared on Twitter last week, there's going to be a Eight-Man Tag Team Match for your Trio Tag Titles, and you know what else? The guy that's helping us at Spring Breakdown to kick your asses along with Luke Smith's is "The Hardcore Maniac" Brent freakin' Harrison!"

The crowd cheers as Brent shouts with his fists in the air. The HF members' theme song plays as the SHIELD shouts to them.

(Commercial Break)

The cameras return to the show and inside the GM's office, Jesse has some paperwork doing while at the same time is eating a slice of pepperoni pizza.

"Man, nothing to help me more than some good ol' pizza," Jesse smiled.

Before he could eat it, a knock on the door came and interrupted his meal.

"Dang it... Come in."

Jesse sees the door open and immediately stands up in surprise and had a smile on his face.

"Well, well, well..." Jesse said as the camera pans to show Crash Bandicoot along with his sister. "Crash freakin' Bandicoot. Good to see you, man! And you too, Coco. How can I help you two?"

Coco answers, "Well, Mr. Alvarez, my brother, Crash, and I were talking earlier about what just happened out there with Jason Krueger, and my brother says, he wants a shot at his title at Spring Breakdown. I've tried to explain to him that he can't just get a shot like that, but..."

"Hang on, hang on, Miss Coco. I understand what you're trying to say. I know Crash would want a shot at the Hardcore Title," Jesse stated. "You're right, though. He has to earn it, and he impressed me with his match against Beowulf."

"That's understandable."

"But, I do have an idea for Crash to actually earn it. Next week, Crash Bandicoot will face off against Jason Krueger's partner, RC Bane. And if you win, my friend, you'll earn the shot at the belt at Spring Breakdown in a..." Jesse took a moment to answer, "...Extreme Rules Match."

"Yay!" Crash cheered as he jumped high and hits his head through the ceiling comically.

The fans laughed at Crash with his antics as Coco shook her head in embarrassment.

"Crash... that ceiling's coming out of your paycheck, man," Jesse said.

"Aw..." Crash whined.

The audience laughs again as the camera switches back to the ring. The bell is rung before Maria makes the announcement.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall!"

*Me Against the World by Simple Plan*

Ash Ketchum walks out to the stage as he nods his head to the intro of his song.

"Introducing first: from Pallet Town, Kanto Region, weighing in at 140 pounds, "The Very Best" Ash Ketchum!" Maria announced.

"This guy, Ash Ketchum, made a tremendous wrestling debut last week against Kurt Hudson. Unfortunately for him, with the help of Hattori Hanzo, Hudson was able to get the win," Zack stated.

"But I don't think Ash is worrying about what happened last week. He knows he got screwed over, but he doesn't need to worried about it now," Kenji stated. "All he's focusing on right now is his match tonight. As well as being the very best in ACW."

Ash stands on the turnbuckle still with the smirk on his face and mouths the lyrics, "Me against the world!" while pointing to the crowd with both arms spread out. Ash steps down as he takes off his vest and hat and passes them to the staff. He now waits for his opponent to come out.

*Bully by Shinedown*

*Hey!*

Entering the stage was young man at nineteen with normal looking black hair and red eyes and is wearing red wrestling shorts and black wrestling boots. However, he looked a little fat, but he looked like he had a mean attitude as fans already boo at him.

"And his opponent: making his debut at ACW, from Miami, Florida, weighing in at 225 pounds, James Griffin!"

"James Griffin, not sure if I know this guy by much. But from the look of his face, he's gotta be a big bully. And damn, he looks nasty!" Zack stated.

"You got that right. Along with that, he doesn't look like the type person to be worked with," Kenji stated.

James stands in the ring at his respective corner, still with the scowl on his face. The ref calls for the bell and Ash goes to the center as James already charges at him with a Clothesline, but Ketchum ducks it and he starts delivering right fists to Griffin. James is at the ropes and Ash pulls him to the opposite, but James counters by stopping himself and Ash before kneeing him in the midsection. James then hits a elbow to the spine of Ketchum and another to the back of the head. He brings him to his feet, sets him up in a Pumphandle Slam, gets him up, but Ash slips out of there and when James turns around, Ash nails the Superkick!

"Holy crap! Ash nails the kick already!" Zack exclaimed.

James falls and Ash hooks the leg; 1, 2, 3!

*Bell rings*

"Wow, that was fast," Kenji said.

"Here is your winner, "The Very Best" Ash Ketchum!"

"Oh, man, that was the quickest match I've ever seen in my life. How long was that, Kenji?" Zack asked.

"I believe that was near twenty seconds. Thought it could've beat the record of Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania XXVIII," Kenji stated. "Gotta tell ya, not a good way start your debut at ACW for James Griffin—"

Kenji stopped when Ash was attacked from behind by James Griffin. James, with ruthless aggression, starts hammering and beating down on Ketchum. As fans continue to boo, James puts Ash in the Standing Headscissors, lifts him up, and hits Grounded (Batista Bomb) on Ash right on the mat! James stands over him and roars with fury as the crowd jeers heavily.

"What a sore loser this guy is! All because he lost in just a matter of a few seconds," Kenji said.

"What did I tell ya? James, already I knew, is a bully," Zack stated.

James glares down at Ash before raising his fists in the air. The cameras change to show Jason Krueger walking down the hall and he looked angry. He stops near the door of the GM's office. He goes for a knock, but Jesse interrupts him.

"Jason, I know you're out there. And I also know what you want," Jesse said.

"What the...?" Jason said.

However, he ignored and opened the door to inside. Jason stands near Jesse's desk as he puts the belt down on it. Jesse, however, kept a nonchalant look while looking at Krueger's angry expression.

"Well, Jason? Isn't there something you wanted to say?" Jesse asked.

"Well, for one thing, how in the hell could you give Crash a shot at my title?" Jason inquired.

"Whoa, whoa, hang on, Krueger. I never said about giving Crash a shot at your title. To correct you, I said, 'Crash has to actually earn a shot.' And by doing so, I put him in a match against your partner RC Bane. And if he does win, he has the right to face you in a Extreme Rules Match at Spring Breakdown."

"I see. Well... I don't see why I need to complain about it. If Crash does win his match next week, then all I need to do to him at Spring Breakdown is one simple thing..." then Jason gets into Jesse's face, "Gore... Gore... Gore...!"

With that, Jason takes his belt from Jesse's desk and leaves the office. When he left, Jesse fans the air away from his nose.

"That's not the only thing you need, Jason. Woo!"

The crowd laughs as the cameras switch to the TitanTron to show Samantha Hart and Hinata Hyuga with the Women's Tag Titles over their shoulders and the words below them say, "Next: Divas Gauntlet Tag Team Match".

"Now up next, everybody, is the first-ever Divas Gauntlet Tag Team Match with Samantha Hart and Hinata Hyuga to build up their partnership at Spring Breakdown, but here's the thing. The ACW Women's Tag Team Championships are on the line," Kenji stated. "If they can make it through this, they will face Sara Verser and Roxanne Stone at Spring Breakdown for the titles as well."

"Let's just hope they can make it through this. I'm not sure how long this team will last," Zack said.

(Commercial Break)

The cameras come back from commercial and in the sights of the camera was Jesse walking around with his iPhone while texting. He stops as his door was knocked.

"Come in," Jesse allowed.

The door opens and Ash Ketchum walks through with the door with his hand aiding his head, the crowd cheers in reaction.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Ash! What are you doing here? Why aren't the EMTs with you?" Jesse asked.

"Sorry, but I had to come in here," Ash replied. "Look, I understand you're busy, but do you think there is any chance of me facing James Griffin at Spring Breakdown?"

The crowd cheers as Jesse thinks about it.

"Hm. Not sure if I can put you in a singles match against him, but... I can add you. At Spring Breakdown, it will be James Griffin teaming up with Alpha & Omega against you teaming up with the Second City Saints. What do you think of that?"

"That sounds like a fantastic idea. Besides, it'd be good to as well take down Alpha & Omega. I mean, those guys are nothing but a bunch of tools. They couldn't even beat the Saints and they're sure as hell can't beat me."

With that, Ash leaves the office and the cameras switch to show Terra and Carter in their locker rooms with disapproving expressions.

"What a cheap shot by that son of a bitch," Terra stated. "You know what we have to do to him now, right?"

"Definitely. He's gonna regret saying those words about us. Especially with Griffin by our side," Carter stated.

"You know what? I got an idea to show Ketchum why you shouldn't f%k with Alpha & Omega."

"Do tell."

Terra and Carter turn away from the camera and both whisper of the plan as the cameras switch to show Rogen Townsend at the interview with Mike 'The Mic' Martin.

"Rogen Townsend, you, last week, said your very first words in ACW and those words were that you are the Special Guest Referee for Naruto and Sasuke's Non-Sanctioned Match at Spring Breakdown," Mike stated. "Is there a reason why you're the referee in the first place?"

Rogen took a moment to reply as he took his sunglasses off, "...There's a reason why, Mike... About exactly a month ago, a week after my debut, I was in the Fatal-4-Way Qualifying Match for the ACW Undisputed Championship. Soon, after Uchiha eliminated Stone, I had him in my grasp. But that's when the SHIELD— the wannabes— attacked me by serving 'justice'. Then, that's when they helped Uchiha screw me over out of my chance of going for the top gold. So at Southern Hell, I did what I did to them. My vengeance with them was done, but I still had more with Sasuke Uchiha. So, that's when I asked Jesse himself to put me as the guest referee. And now, with this chance, I can get back at Uchiha for what he did to me a month ago. If he wants to screw me over, I'll screw him over."

Rogen puts his shades back on and leaves the interview. The cameras change to show Hinata Hyuga getting ready for her match as she stretches her right leg. Samantha soon stands near her with the Women's Tag Title around her waist. Hinata stops and faces her.

"So... you ready to do this?" Samantha asked.

"Yes..." Hinata answered.

Misty then walks in between both champions.

"All right, you two. Remember our conversation. Samantha, for once tonight, just once, please let go your hatred for Hinata," Misty stated. "Don't think about it throughout your match. Keep focused on your titles and your match. And whenever Hinata needs help, help her. Okay?"

Samantha only still glared at Hinata and had no choice but to swallow her pride and sighed.

"Fine... I'll... I'll do whatever I can to defend the titles," Samantha said.

Misty smiled, "Good. Once you two survive this, I'll be proud of you both. Now go out there, and give every ounce of momentum and ounce of fire inside you two. I know you two can do it."

Hinata and Samantha smiled and nodded at her statement, and they make their way to the stage as the cameras pans to Misty with a smile on her face. The cameras change to the announcers table.

"This night is very important for both women tonight, because it just needs to prove how trustful Samantha is with Hinata," Zack stated.

"Let's hope so. All right, let's state the idea of this match: In this one, two Diva Tag Teams will begin the match and are replaced whenever one is eliminated by pinfall or submission. After a predetermined number of Divas have competed in the match, the last Divas Tag Team standing will be declared the winner and as well, the ACW Women's Tag Team Champions," Kenji explained.

"Let's get to it, man."

*Bell rings*

"The following contest is a first-ever Divas Gauntlet Tag Team Match, and it is for the ACW Women's Tag Team Championships!"

*Going Under by Evanescence*

Soon, Samantha walks out to the stage with the belt around her waist while wearing the same traditional black robe. Along the way on the ramps, she takes her robe off and passes it to woman in the crowd.

"Introducing first: from San Diego, California, weighing in at 167 pounds, she is one-half of the ACW Women's Tag Team Champions, Samantha Hart!"

"As of tonight, Kenji, Samantha's gonna prove that she can be an actual tag team partner to Hinata, despite of her hate to her," Zack stated.

"I agree with you. From tonight, this young woman said earlier she'll do whatever she can to win this match," Kenji stated. "And I hope that she meant those words."

Samantha stands on the second turnbuckle while raising the title high as fans react with cheers and some boos. She steps down from the corner and drapes the belt over shoulder as her music dies down.

*Radioactive by Kings of Leon*

Fans instantly cheer for Hinata as she walks out to the stage with the belt around her waist. She high-fives the fans along the way to the ring.

"And her partner: from the Village Hidden in the Leaves, weighing in at 99 pounds, she is one-half ACW Women's Tag Team Champions, Hinata Hyuga!"

"For weeks since her title win at Southern Hell with Samantha, Hinata has been putting everything into her team along with friendship, but Samantha is so stubborn that she pushes her partner away," Zack stated.

"Now all Hinata has to do is believe that Samantha's words are true," Kenji implied.

Hinata points to the crowd before looking to Samantha as she barely glares at her partner, but turns away to stop. The music dies down and both partners wait for their opponents. The lights dim as a woman screams from the TitanTron.

*Hey, kid!*

*Welcome to the Family by Avenged Sevenfold*

Entering the stage were Saya Takagi and Rei Miyamoto as the audience gave cheers along their way to the ring.

"And their opponents: at a combined weight of 225 pounds, they are members of the H.O.T.D., Rei Miyamoto and Saya Takagi!"

"Looks like we'll be seeing these two in action tonight as of now against both Hinata and Sam. Wonder what those two young women might have against them," Zack commented.

Both Saya and Rei stand at their corner as their music turn down. Soon, the ref calls for the bell and Samantha and Takagi are the first to start it off as they get into a elbow and collar lock-up. Samantha switches the tie-up into a Side Headlock before Takagi quickly runs back to the ropes and pushes Sam off her. With Sam hitting ropes and bouncing off, Takagi hits her with a Forearm Smash. Hart stands and Saya gets from behind with a Bulldog. She goes for a quick cover; 1... Sam kicks out. Saya brings Sam by the head and holds her in a Front Headlock, but she spins her self out of the hold as she holds the arm, kicks Takagi in the midsection, gets behind her, and slams here down with a Russian Leg Sweep. Now Sam covers; 1... Takagi gets the shoulder up. Sam grabs Saya by the leg to head to her corner, but Takagi was able to bring Samantha towards her kicks her off to the ropes. Saya stands up, Sam bounces off the ropes, and Takagi rolls her up in a Cradle Pin; 1, 2... Hart kicks out at two. Before Sam could stand and attack, Takagi grabs her head from behind and slams her down with a Flashback. With this, Saya drags Samantha to her corner and Rei tags in. Both teens set Sam up in a Double Back Suplex, lift her up and hits the maneuver. Saya steps onto the apron as Rei covers; 1, 2... Hinata stops the pinfall in time before rolling out of the ring and heading back to her corner. Miyamoto sees Hinata head back to her corner and as she turned back, Sam hits an Enzuigiri! Hart hooks the leg; 1, 2... Rei kicks out at two and a half.

"With that distraction, Rei payed the price with that Enzuigiri," Zack commented. "Luckily, she kicked out of it."

Hart brings Rei up by the head and brings her to her corner. She looks to Hinata for a while and then she extends her hand out as fans started cheering though. Hinata smiles and nods, and tags in. Samantha starts setting Miyamoto up in a Suplex as Hinata stands on the top rope, then Hinata jumps off with a Diving Crossbody, hits Rei, and Samantha nails the Suplex! As Sam rolls out, Hinata hooks the leg; 1, 2... Miyamoto kicks out. Hinata sits Rei up before running back to the ropes, bouncing off, and gets Rei with a Running Neck Snap. Rei rolls out of the ring as she tries to recover herself. Hinata waits patiently in the ring before Rei was done and slides back in the ring. Rei goes to her and Hinata throws a right fist, but Rei ducks it and when Hinata turns, Rei rams her to an empty corner and starts hitting her with multiple Shoulder Thrusts before doing a back-flip and hitting one last Shoulder Thrust. With Hinata resting at the corner, Rei backs away a few feet. She readies herself, sprints at Hinata, and hits a Shining Wizard before grabbing the head and nailing a Bulldog. Rei hooks the leg; 1, 2... Hinata kicks out at two and half! Rei, now getting a bit irritated, stands up and she brings Hinata up by the arm. She twists the arm with an Wrist Wrench and then starts climbing to the top rope while hanging onto the arm.

"Uh-oh. I think I know what Rei is doing here," Zack implied. "She's taking a page out of the Undertaker's book!"

Rei walks and keeps her balance on the ring rope while still holding the arm. She dives off and hits the Old School! Hinata's down and Rei turns her over and hooks the leg; 1, 2... And Samantha stops the count! Saya quickly rushes into the ring and attacks Sam with a Clothesline, sending her out of the ring. Saya steps out to take care of Samantha as Rei has Hinata ready in a Bulldog. She runs to the nearest turnbuckle, bounces off, and goes for the Brain Dead (Springboard Bulldog), but Hinata was able to get out of it! Rei lands on her back and Hinata stands ready. Rei stands and when she turns around, Hinata hits the Shining Sun! She hooks the leg; 1, 2, 3!

"Yes! They got the first one!" Kenji exclaimed.

Takagi realizes too late that they lost this one as Samantha panted and was in disbelief. Rei rolls out of the ring as she walks her way to the ramps and Saya follows.

*Where'd you go?

Where's your home?

How'd you end up all alone?

Can you hear me now?*

*Hear Me Now by Hollywood Undead*

With boos and cheers, Jessica Montoya and Carla Ramirez run their way to the ring.

"And here comes both Carla and Jessica from the Hardcore Foundation!" Zack said.

Carla is the first to run inside and both Hinata and Carla go right at each other with battle of strikes. Hinata blocks the next one by Carla before kneeing her in the abdomen, puts her between her legs, hooks the arms, and nails a Tigerbomb. Samantha stands back at her corner and calls Hinata for a tag. Hinata drags Carla to her corner and tags out to Samantha. Both Hinata and Sam pull Ramirez to the opposite ropes and when she hits it, Jessica tags herself in and Carla was able to stop herself and roll out of the ring. Jessica rushes into the ring and both Hinata and Samantha go for a Double Clothesline, but Montoya ducks it, runs to the ropes, jumps on the second ring ropes, bounces off and hits Hinata and Sam with a Springboard Crossbody! Jessica stands and raises her right fist in the air as fans cheer and boo from her taking control.

"Now Jessica has complete momentum in the match. Will she keep it up? Find out when we return live on ACW!" Kenji announced.

(Commercial Break)

The show returns as Jessica holds Samantha in the Snapmare & Necklock submission.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to ACW live at the BJCC Arena in Birmingham, and Jessica, as we proclaimed, has full control of the match," Kenji stated.

"From what we can see here, Kenji, it doesn't look like Samantha's gonna make it out of this," Zack proclaimed.

Samantha still hangs on from the submission Jessica holds in as the goth is on her knees and is trying to reach out to the ropes. However, Jessica starts holding the lock tight as Sam looked like she was already fading. A minute has passed and Sam still hangs on. Sam then starts dragging herself with her knees while trying to reach for the ropes. Despite of lock, she was only a finger tip away from the rope and is able to grab them! The official already starts counting; 1, 2, 3, 4...! Jessica lets go and backs away from Samantha as she uses the ropes to help herself up. She rests at the ropes, Jessica charges at her, and Samantha lowers the ropes, causing Jessica to go over the top ropes and fall to the outside! As Montoya starts getting up, Samantha grabs the ropes and when Jessica gets to her feet, Sam slingshots herself over the top rope and hits Jessica with a Vaulting Body Press! Soon, Samantha gets to her feet, brings Montoya up, and throws her back into the ring. Hart stands over her opponent, then brings her up by the head, has her in the Front Headlock, lifts her up in a Suplex, and hits Montoya with a Gordbuster. She turns her over and covers; 1, 2... Carla stops the count in time. However, before Carla could step out of the ring, Samantha grabs her by the hair and forces her up. With this, knees her in the gut, hits her with a Knife Edged Chop, and Irish Whips her to the ropes. Carla bounces off and Samantha hits a Spear. Samantha turns around and gets hit by Jessica with The Angel's Farewell Gift (Reverse Roundhouse Kick)! She hooks the leg; 1, 2... Hinata stops the count!

"Oh, man! Hinata stops the pinfall from happening just in time!" Kenji exclaimed.

As Hinata rolls out of the ring, Jessica gets distracted as Samantha rolls away from her. Montoya turns back to Samantha, grabs her by the head to bring her up, and Samantha pushes her off and nails the Superkick! Sam quickly goes to the corner for a high maneuver. Carla tries to stop her, but Hinata grabs her by the leg, pulls her off, and Ramirez hits face-first onto the apron! Thanks to this, Samantha stands high, leaps off, and hits the Dark Dive across the chest! She covers; 1, 2, 3!

"Nice! They've got this one again!" Zack exclaimed.

"Now let's see who's the next one to face Hinata and Samantha," Kenji said.

Carla and Jessica limp on their way back to the locker rooms as Samantha stand in the ring, looking exhausted and Hinata rolls back in.

The crowd instantly boos as Kendra Daniels walks out to the stage with an arrogant smirk and her hands on her hips.

"Oh, boy. Look who's back," Kenji said.

"Oh, yeah..." Zack drooled over her.

"Okay, seriously, what is wrong with you?!"

"Dude, c'mon! She's hot! How can you hate a hot chick like that?"

"Jeez... Anyway, Kendra makes her return tonight and it looks like she's by herself."

"Don't doubt her yet, Kenji. She's got something."

Kendra stops at near ringside before turning to the stage as her music lowers down.

*I Like That by Luciana P*

The crowd boos louder as a young woman with curly shoulder-length blonde hair, brown eyes, and is lean muscular build, and is wearing white sleeveless tank top with a black lion design on it, black tights with a white stripe on each leg, black socks, black fingerless gloves.

"Oh, wait a minute. I know this girl! That's Allison Wilson! Cousin of Jessica and Jesse Wilson. Looks like she's making her debut in the ACW ring," Zack stated.

"Only problem is, it's with Kendra. This is going to be a tough challenge for them," Kenji proclaimed.

Allison and Kendra stand by each other, they nod and Wilson gets in the ring as Kendra goes to stand at the apron by the ringpost. Already Allison tackles Samantha down and starts hitting with swift right hands. Then Samantha turns it around and now she hits her with swift right fists. Allison pushes her off and Sam hits the ropes and stops herself. With this, Kendra kicks Samantha right at the back, Allison stands up and knees Hart in the gut. Then Wilson pulls her to the opposite ropes, Sam bounces off and catches her with the Lou Thesz Press followed by a fury of swift right punches. After getting up, she runs to Hinata and punches her off the apron. Allison goes back to Samantha and puts her between her legs. With this, she puts her arms underneath Sam's arms and grabs her legs by the knees, looking for the Package Piledriver. She tries to stand, but Samantha had the strength to get out of it and throw Allison over with a Back Body Drop! Allison stands and Sam hits her with a vicious Clothesline. Allison gets to her feet and Sam hits her again with the same move. Allison stands one more time before going for her own Clothesline, but Sam catches the arm and nails her with a Swinging Neckbreaker. She goes for the cover; 1, 2... Allison gets the shoulder up at two as Hinata stands back on the apron. Samantha drags Allison to her corner and tags out to Hinata. Both girls Irish Whip Wilson to the ropes, she bounces off, but Kendra tags herself in, and when Wilson came back, Sam and Hinata hit her with a Double Flapjack!

"Nice teamwork by those two! I guess Samantha did mean what she said," Zack implied.

With Allison rolling out of the ring, Hinata and Sam were distracted as Kendra stalks and attacks them from behind. Daniels sends Hart of the ring before hammering on Hinata. Kendra forces Hinata to her feet and pushes her to the corner. With this, Daniels starts hitting Hinata with fast left hands along with forearms to the head. Kendra then pulls her to the opposite corner and Hinata hits back-first to it. Daniels runs at her and hits a Stinger Splash. Then Kendra stands on the second ropes and hammers Hinata with the Ten-Punches; 1! 2! 3! 4! 5! 6! 7! 8! 9...! Then Kendra makes a arrogant pose as fans boo heavily at her. Unfortunately for her, that's gonna cost her the control of the match as Hinata grabs the legs and throws Kendra down with a desperate Powerbomb! Hinata, exhausted, starts climbing to the top rope as Kendra tries to get to her feet. Hinata makes it to the top, Kendra is on her feet, and Hinata jumps off with a Diving Clothesline to her, but Kendra uses the ref as a shield and Hinata hits him instead! With the ref knocked out, Allison steps off the apron and looks under for a weapon. Kendra and Hinata were now down for the count as Wilson takes out a chair and slides it to Kendra. Samantha rushes into the ring to stop her, but Daniels sees her coming and hits her in the midsection with the foreign weapon before hitting another shot to the spine. Samantha gets dragged out by Allison as Daniels stands ready with the chair behind Hinata. However, she only puts the chair down on the center of the ring. Hinata stands and Kendra kicks her in the abdomen before setting her up for the Daniels Driver.

"Oh, my God! Kendra can't be thinking this!" Kenji implied. "She could end with this cheat right here!"

Kendra goes for it, but Hinata spins out of it, kicks Kendra in the midsection and hits a Sitout Facebuster! Hinata takes the chair out of the ring while Allison has a chair of her own. She goes for a chair shot, but Sam was at ringside and trips Wilson, making her hit face-first to the chair. Sam drags her out as Hinata waits for Kendra to stand. Kendra soon gets to her feet, Hinata lifts her up with a Fireman's Carry and hits the Hyuga's Way (F-U)!

"Hinata hits the Hyuga's Way! And... hold on," Zack said.

Samantha stands at her corner and Hinata sees her. She looks to the downed Kendra then looks back to her partner. She shrugs and tags out to her. With this, fans start cheering loud as Samantha climbs the top turnbuckle. She stands high, jumps off, and nails the Dark Dive! She hooks the leg; 1 2, 3!

*Bell rings*

"They did it! They've retained the titles!" Zack exclaimed.

"By God, it's a miracle!" Kenji exclaimed.

"Here are your winners and still the ACW Women's Tag Team Champions, Hinata Hyuga and Samantha Hart!"

Samantha sits up as the ref passes one of the belts back to her and the other to Hinata. Samantha couldn't believe they've retained the titles as she looked to it with disbelief. She had the same expression she had when she and Hinata won the belts at Southern Hell. Sam stands up as Hinata looks to her face to face. No one would know what would happen next. Then, Hinata extends her hand out as fans cheered. Samantha couldn't believe this as well. She looked like she didn't want to shake her hand... but she did. Sam didn't smile nor show signs of hate. She only shook Hinata's hand and left the ring with the title over her shoulder.

"It may not be much from Samantha, but at least she was finally able push her hatred to Hinata aside and retain the belts," Zack commented.

"That's true. Let's just hope that they can keep this up at Spring Breakdown," Kenji pleaded.

Hinata leans at the ropes with the belt around her waist as Samantha stands at the stage with her hands on her hips. The cameras change to show Yugi and Atem getting ready as fans cheered louder for them.

"You ready, Yugi?" Atem asked.

"Yeah. Listen, are you sure Téa will be fine here?" Yugi asked.

"Yes, Yugi. She will be safe. Jesse put the best security here to guard the room on the outside."

"Okay, then."

"Good luck, you guys," Téa said.

"Thanks. Let's go, Atem," Yugi told him.

Atem nodded and they leave the room as Téa looks on. The cameras then change to the TitanTron to show the main event is up next.

"All right! We are on our way to the final match of the night. The Eight-Man Tag Team Match is up next on ACW!" Kenji announced.

(Commercial Break)

Coming back from the break, the cameras show Maria making the announcement as the bell rang.

*Bell rings*

"The following Eight-Man Tag Team Contest is set for one fall!"

"Yu-Gi-Oh!" Yugi and Atem's voices are overheard at the TitanTron before...

*In the Middle of it Now by Disciple*

The lights turn dark blue as fans shout with thunderous cheers for Yugi and Atem walk out to the stage with energetic charisma.

"Introducing first: from Domino City, Japan, at a combined weight of 210 pounds, they are the ACW World Tag Team Champions, Yugi Mutou and Atem, Altered Egos!"

"Fantastic fan-favorite tag team and all, but that yet, Bakura and Marik have been getting into their heads these past few two weeks. Now Yugi's been fearing that they might get to Téa," Zack stated.

"But at least that he knows that she will be safe. Yugi has got to focus on what's happening now," Kenji stated. "For one thing, he has no idea what tricks those smug sons of bitches, Marika and Bakura, have up their sleeves."

Yugi and Atem stand at the turnbuckles while raising the belts high. They step down and wait for their following partners.

*In the Black by Motörhead*

Fans continue to cheer as Rogen comes out to the stage while riding his motorcycle while wearing the Birmingham Bulls hockey jersey. He starts it up and rides his way to the ring. He circles around the ring three times before stopping at the ringside.

"Next, their partner: from Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England, weighing in at 301 pounds, Rogen Townsend!"

"Townsend, as we know, is the Special Guest Referee for Sasuke and Naruto's match at Spring Breakdown, and it most certainly will be hell for them," Zack stated.

"I gotta say, with Sasuke and Naruto in the mix of Non-Sanctioned Match... it's not gonna end well," Kenji stated.

Rogen stands by Altered Egos as they wait for their final partner.

*I Will Not Bow by Breaking Benjamin*

*Fall!*

Yellow and orange pyro explode from the stage before Naruto runs out to be cheered by the many fans of ACW while having the belt in his hand. He stands at the center of the stage, brings the belt over his shoulders, salutes to the crowd, and runs his way to the ring.

"And their partner: from the Village Hidden in the Leaves, weighing in at 112 pounds, he is the ACW Undisputed Champion, Naruto Uzumaki!"

"Gotta tell ya, Naruto looks focused after what happened last week against Sasuke Uchiha with the contract signing," Kenji stated.

"Along with that, the Viper knows as well not to mess with the Orange Spark when he threw him through a table," Zack stated.

The cameras change to show footage of Naruto throwing Sasuke through a table with the Ninja's Way. Back in the ring, Naruto only chuckled from seeing that video as well as Rogen, Yugi and Atem.

*Riot by Three Days Grace*

Lights throughout the arena turn dark violet and fans jeer at Bakura and Marik entering the stage.

"And their opponents: at combined weight of 235 pounds, the team of Ryo Bakura and Marik Ishtar, The Gods of Darkness!"

"In just about nine days, we will see The Gods of Darkness along with Kaiba go against Altered Egos and GM Jesse Alvarez," Zack stated.

"At Spring Breakdown, when the Ladder Match starts, all hell will break loose between both tag teams," Kenji proclaimed.

Marik and Bakura stand near at ringside as their music dies down and wait for their debuting partners.

*The End of a Heartache by Killswitch Engage*

Entering the stage were two men: one had short black hair that's close to a fade, dark brown eyes and a medium brown complexion as his body build is similar to Randy Orton and he has a big and thick beard. He as well wears black wrestling briefs "JC" written in gold on the left side, black wrist tapes and knee pads with silver wrestling boots. The other is lightly tanned and has a black buzz cut and brown eyes. He has a build like Brock Lesnar and has five o' clock shadow. He wears black and gold singlet with dark blue trim, black knee pads and black boots while also wearing a dark blue shirt with "The Submission Messiah" written in gold letters. However, following them was a young woman with blond hair and blue eyes, hair reaches to mid back, often wears it in a pony tail or hair down and her build is a mixture of curves and athletic tone and she wears a white button down blouse, black mini skirt, and black flats.

"And their partners: accompanied by Trish Warrington, making their debut at ACW, from St. Louis, Missouri, at a combined weight of 510 pounds, "The Submission Messiah" Benjamin Strong III and "The Corporate Icon" Jimmy Carmichael, New Devastation!"

"Okay, I'm a bit imitated by these guys. These two young men look like they could just destroy the ring already," Zack said. "Wonder what these guys can do."

"I don't know, but whatever it is, it can't be good."

The Heels stand at their respective corners as well as the Faces. Marik, Ryo, and Jimmy stand out to the apron as Benjamin stays behind with a sneer on his face and takes his shirt off and for Trish, she stands at ringside near them. Rogen wanted a piece of him, but Yugi objected and suggested he wants in. Townsend wanted to know if he was sure, but Yugi insisted. With no arguments, the rest of the team steps out and the ref calls for the bell.

*Bell rings*

Yugi and Strong stand face to face with each other as Benjamin was taller then Yugi. By then, both Superstars backed away and they go into a lock-up. But that only lasted for a few seconds when Strong viciously kneed Yugi in the midsection. Then he grabs Yugi by the throat with both hands and throws him over across the ring with brute strength! Yugi shot up in pain and Carmichael punches him down. The ref saw him and tells him not to do that again as Benjamin brings Yugi by the head and mercilessly starts hammering him down right to the spine. As Yugi lies on the mat, Benjamin just starts stomping him and the ref is ordering him to get off. Strong backs away and waits for Yugi as he struggles to get up. Yugi is on his knees and Benjamin forces him up in a Front Headlock. Still hanging on to Yugi's head, he hits a knee to the chest three times before getting the arm over, lifting him up, and hitting him with the Suplex. He hooks the leg; 1, 2... Yugi kicks out at two. Benjamin brings him up by the arm and gets him down with a brutal European Uppercut. Then he grabs him by the hair and brings him to his corner and tags out to Carmichael. Benjamin sets him up and Carmichael kicks him at the ribs. Strong steps out and Jimmy starts working on Yugi with knees to the ribs. He has him at the ropes and pulls him to the opposite. Yugi bounces off and Carmichael grabs him with a Snap Powerslam. Then Jimmy jumps high and hits a Knee Drop across the face. Yugi sits up covering his face in pain as Carmichael stalks behind him and kicks him straight to the spine. Now Yugi just lies in pain as Jimmy stands over him with his arms out and a smirk while the fans gave boos throughout the arena. Carmichael grabs the ropes, uses it to make him jump high and hits a high Knee Drop to Yugi's spine. With Yugi shot up in pain Jimmy grabs him by the head again, gets the arm over, lifts him up, and hits a Vertical Suplex.

"Already in the beginning of the match, I think that Yugi starting things off was a bad idea," Zack stated.

Carmichael covers him; 1, 2... Yugi gets the shoulder up, then Jimmy sits him up and has him in the Sleeper Hold and Yugi immediately stands up while flailing his arms around for a tag or a rope break, but Jimmy still locks the hold tight. A half minute has passed and Yugi looked to be passing out within the minute. Then Yugi grabs Jimmy by the head and hits a Sitout Jawbreaker to get out of the Sleeper Hold! Carmichael staggers back and Yugi stands up with the ropes helping him. Jimmy runs right at him, but Yugi catches him with a Hurricanrana, making him fall on the second ropes. Now with the advantage, Yugi runs back to the ropes, bounces off, comes back, and hits Jimmy with a Rope Attack! Carmichael staggers back, Yugi stalks him, Jimmy goes for a Clothesline, but Yugi ducks it and grabs his legs and gets him down. The he follows this with a Extreme Leg Drop right near the lower regions of Jimmy! Trish had a disapproving look on her face. He sits up in pain from that drop and Yugi hits a Low Front Dropkick to the face. Yugi then grabs Jimmy by the head and goes to his corner. Yugi, making his decision, tags out to Atem. Then Yugi gets the legs and gets Jimmy down again as Atem climbs high to the top rope. Atem stands high, shouts out, jumps off with a Diving Extreme Leg Drop as Yugi hits another Extreme Leg Drop and both twins hit the combo! Yugi rolls out as Atem covers; 1, 2... Jimmy kicks out. Atem drags Carmichael near the ropes, goes to the opposite, bounces off, and nails the Rolling Thunder. Carmichael, in pain, rolls out of the ring and tries to get away as Atem follows. Jimmy runs fast and Atem was about to get to him, Benjamin assaults him with a brutal Clothesline, making Atem's skull bounce off the padded floor! Jimmy was already back in the ring while Benjamin lifts Atem up with a Military Press Drop and throws him over the top ropes into the ring.

"Holy crap, can you believe the strength of that man?" Kenji asked. "He's a monster!"

With Atem in the ring, struggling to get up, Jimmy gritted his teeth at him and messes with him by disrespectfully kicking him at the head. Carmichael brings Atem up and hits a vicious European Uppercut before pushing him to the corner of his team. He tags out to Bakura and both Heels start kicking down Atem as the ref orders them to stop. Carmichael steps out of the apron while Bakura puts Atem at the ropes and starts choking him with his knee. The ref shouts to him to get off; 1, 2, 3, 4...! Bakura backs off as the ref is warning him and with this distraction, Trish goes to Atem and slaps him right across the face and the fans react with thunderous boos. As Atem feels the stinging pain on his cheek, Bakura grabs him by the head and forces him to his feet and hits a Knife Edged Chop to the chest before Irish Whipping him to the opposite, but Atem reverses it. Bakura bounces off the ropes and Atem catches him with a Reverse Elbow. Ryo stands and now Atem starts delivering three Knife Edged Chops right to the chest before pulling him to the opposite. Then Ryo reverses it, Atem runs and hits the ropes, but stops. With this, Atem only smirks and flips Bakura off, receiving surprising cheers and a few laughs from the crowd. Ryo got pissed off and charged right at him, only for Atem to pull down the ropes and Bakura falls over to the outside! With this, Atem goes to his corner and tags out to Rogen. Rogen goes over the top rope and Marik rushes into the ring, but runs right into a Big Boot by Townsend! Jimmy and Benjamin rushes in, but Rogen catches them with a Double Clothesline. During then, as Bakura stands up, Atem grabs the ropes, slingshots himself to the outside and hits Ryo with a Slingshot Rolling Senton! Marik is up again and Rogen throws him up and he falls with a Free Fall. Jimmy goes at him and Townsend catches him with a Spinebuster. Rogen sees Benjamin and catches him by the throat, looking for a Chokeslam. However, he couldn't do it as Benjamin grabs Rogen's throat and, with powerful strength, gets Rogen's hand off his throat and lifts him up in the Fireman's Carry.

"Oh, my God! How is this man carrying this much weight?! That's three-hundred pounds, man!" Zack exclaimed.

Benjamin faces the crowd and hits Rogen with the Coronation 2K1 (F5)! Strong stands and roars with fury. But what he doesn't know is that Yugi and Naruto stand at different top ropes and when Strong turns around, Naruto and Yugi dive off the top ropes and nails a Double Missile Dropkick to the brute! Benjamin rolls outside as Naruto and Yugi stand dominate in the ring and the crowd screams with massive cheers. However, before the match could continue, Sasuke appears on the TitanTron and fans react with boos.

"Hey, Naruto! Yo, Champ!" Sasuke called.

Naruto looks to the giant screen as he is suspicious of what's going on. Yugi and Atem looks on as well.

"I see you and your buddies are dominating the match already. Congratulations, dobe," Sasuke grinned as fans continue to boo. "Let me ask you a simple question: What is that most important to you as of now? Your match or your beloved Hinata Hyuga?"

"What?!" Kenji exclaimed.

The fans gave thunderous boos as Naruto was confused.

Sasuke continued, "Hmph. Typical. You're grown up, Naruto, but you're still the same idiot as usual. In case you can't get that, why don't I just show you?"

Then Sasuke turns to his left as the camera pans to show Hinata tied up and mouth shut with tape over it along with tears running from her eyes.

"Oh, my God! That's Hinata!" Zack exclaimed. "Sasuke's got Hinata tied up!"

"That sick son of a bitch!" Kenji exclaimed.

Naruto was in disbelief that Sasuke has Hinata kidnapped and tied up. Not even Yugi and Atem could believe it as the audience shouts with thunderous boos. The camera pans back to Sasuke.

"So, Naruto? You gonna risk losing your match to find your princess, or will you stay and be a selfish bastard to leave Hinata by herself? But hey, if you stay, don't worry about Hinata, she'll be perfectly fine with me around."

With that, Sasuke started laughing evilly as Naruto was angry and showed the signs of vengeance. Naruto tells Yugi and Atem to stay behind while he goes after Sasuke. Naruto runs out of the ring and goes to the backstage.

"Now Naruto's going to the backstage to find Hinata and get Sasuke," Kenji said.

"Go, Naruto! Get that sick bastard!" Zack shouted.

Back in the ring, Yugi and Atem looked back, but only to be assaulted by Marik and Carmichael. After the beat down, Jimmy has Atem up ready for a STO as Marik has Yugi in the Front Headlock. But Simultaneously, Atem knees Carmichael in the midsection as Yugi spins out of the hold and kicks him in the gut. Atem holds Jimmy in the Front Headlock, shouts to the crowd, and hits the Pharaoh's Endgame while Yugi lifts Marik up and hits his Endgame! However, Atem gets dragged out of the ring by Benjamin with his brute strength. Yugi sees him and he grabs the ropes, slingshots himself to the outside with a Vaulting Body Press, but Strong catches him like nothing! With this, Benjamin hits a Backbreaker to Yugi and he finishes it with a Fallaway Slam right at the ramps! Benjamin then slides back into the ring as he knows that Rogen is back in the ring. He grabs him by the arm and lifts him up, looking for the 2K1 again. But Rogen elbows him in the face and slips out of there. With Benjamin staggering, Townsend runs to the ropes, bounces off, and nails Strong with the World Coming Down! With Rogen standing tall in the match, Ryo stalks him from the top rope. Townsend turns around and Bakura dives off with a Diving Double Ax Handle, but he catches him at the throat! Looking for the Chokeslam to end the match, but Trish stands on the apron and distracts the ref with her shouts. Thanks to this distraction, Bakura kicks Rogen with a low blow and as he bends down in pain, Bakura runs at him and hits the Death Penalty!

"No! You got to be kidding me!" Kenji exclaimed.

He hooks the leg, Trish steps down, the ref sees the cover and counts; 1, 2, 3!

*Bell rings*

"Damn it! Those bastards stole the match!" Zack shouted.

"The winners of this match: New Devastation and The Gods of Darkness!"

"Unbelievable! Thanks to Trish's distraction, Bakura's cheap shot to Rogen helped stole the match right under their noses!" Kenji exclaimed.

"You don't have to tell me twice, Kenji. They've done a lot to piss me off, and this is another one of them," Zack stated.

The Heels stand at the stage with arrogant grins on their faces looking like winners as Rogen lied in the ring and gritted his teeth at them, still feeling pain in his crotch. With Yugi and Atem, they weren't happy either. The cameras then changed to show Naruto still going around backstage looking for Hinata and Sasuke.

"Hinata! Hinata, where are you?" Naruto called.

During the search, he goes through door to door to find where they are at. Each and every door he looks through, he finds nothing. Minutes went by and Naruto just passed by another door and hopes this is the one. He opens it and hears muffled cries for help. He runs inside the dark room and soon finds Hinata still tied up.

"Hinata! There you are. Are you okay?" Naruto inquired as he slowly takes the tape off her mouth.

When the tape was off, Hinata shouted, "Naruto, get out of here! It's a trap!"

"What?!"

It was already too late as Sasuke attacked Naruto from behind with a steel chair. With this, Sasuke viciously starts beating Naruto down with the chair. He drops the chair, brings Naruto up by the head and slams his skull at the wall. Now Naruto is on his knees, looking to get up, Sasuke stalks him, and hits the Punt Kick right at the skull! Now Naruto was completely out of it as Uchiha had the sick satisfied grin on his face. He gets near him as he looked like a vicious predator.

"See what just happened, Naruto? That was a preview of what I'm going to you in just nine days...! You put me through the table? Well, I strike you from behind and punt your f%king skull off! You're lucky I haven't finished you off right now, because I wouldn't want you to be so injured before Spring Breakdown. Because when that bell rings and when our match starts... you will be the one that's burned down to the ground. And for me... I will stand as the new Undisputed Champion...!"

With that, Sasuke stands and leaves the injured Naruto along with Hinata still tied up and is concerned for him. Soon, Isaac, Yugi, Atem and Rogen enter to help Naruto and Hinata. As Atem helps untying Hinata, Rogen and Yugi aid Naruto. Then Isaac tells Yugi to go find an EMT. He does so and runs out of the room. The show ends with this unbelievable attack and kidnapping...
