After the intro, fireworks in the color of red shoot at the Titantron, then red, blue, and purple pyro shoots out all over the stage before exploding left and right on the stage shooting out like a machine gun for a few seconds before one final blast out of multicolored pyrotechnics shoot out of the stage. The lights came on immediately in the arena, and the crowd immediately roared ferociously in fervor, absolutely thrilled as the camera went over them. The fans throughout the arena were holding signs such as "Evil Beauty: The Team of Hot Babes!"; "Enter Satan's Structure of Blood..."; "A&O and the Gods will Drop Dead!"; and "The Kyuubi, the Viper, and Genocide Giant: Which One Will Win?"
"Welcome, everybody, to Awesome Championship Wrestling! We are live in the North Charleston Coliseum in North Charleston, South Carolina!" Kenji welcomed as the camera changes to the announce table. "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm ACW's true and honest Japanese commentator, Kenji Matsuo, along with the somewhat dumb, yet awesome half-brother, Zack Carver and the loudmouth and arrogant Barney Stinson!"
"Aw, Benji, you have such nice ways to introduce me," Barney said with sarcasm. "Learn your place, bub! I am awesome and you and your idiotic half-brother should know that."
"Sure, we will," Zack rolled his eyes. "Anyways, guys, we got a hell of a night tonight on ACW. I mean, we have such great matches coming up. From two Playground of Blood qualifying matches, a #1 Contender's Match to face Téa for the ACW Women's Championship, the Blakes could get their vengeance tonight against Daniel Kent, the Triple Threat Tag Team Match with A&O, H.O.T.U., and The Gods of Darkness, and finally...it's Rogen Townsend vs. Sasuke Uchiha as our main event! This is going to be great!"
"That I can agree, young Zachary!" Barney said. "So why don't we get this awesomeness started?"
("More Than Meets the Eye" by Testament)
Walking out from the back, Marcus King looks upon the crowd with a proud smile and walks his way down to the ring. Marcus steps right on to the apron, steps into the ring through the ropes, and raises both fists, receiving a mixed reaction of cheers and boos from the fans of Charleston.
"The following contest is a qualification match to enter the Playground of Blood at Reign in Blood! Introducing first, from Seattle, Washington, weighing in at 275 pounds, he is a member of the Hardcore Foundation, Marcus King!"
"Marcus King, a member of the large group known as the Hardcore Foundation along with the Intercontinental Champion, Mason Stone, Jessica Montoya, Tyson Stone, Nolan Gates, Sara Verser, Roxanne Stone, and many more," Kenji stated.
"Eh. Like the fans here, I'm kind of in between of whether I want this guy to win or not," Barney shrugged.
("I Come From Money" by S-Preme)
[I come from money, I come from class
These ladies love me for all my cash
Won't let nobody spoil my dream
'Cause I got money and I can do anything]
The crowd bursts into boos as green lights surrounds the stage and Kurt Hudson walks out through the curtain with Alyssa Parker holding his hand. Hudson walks down the ramp with Alyssa in hand, just soaking in the jeers from the crowd. Before stepping onto the steps to the apron, Kurt gives Alyssa a quick kiss before sliding into the ring and splaying his arms arrogantly, saying, "I am money!" and the fans lay absolute hate to him, and he proudly takes it in.
"And his opponent, from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 236 pounds, 'The Billion Dollar King' Kurt Hudson!"
"Ah-ha, yes, he is the King of Money, ladies and gentlemen! But after tonight, he'll be heading on to Reign in Blood to become the first-ever King of Blood!" Barney stated.
"But to do that, he has to beat Marcus in order to enter the Chamber," Kenji said. "If he can do so, well...it'll be a bit surprising."
Kurt and Marcus stand at their respective corners and the ref makes the call for the match to begin. Both men circle around in the ring before heading into a collar-and-elbow lock-up, but Hudson quickly gets behind him with the Waist-lock. By then, he gets under his armpit, hooks his right leg with Marcus' left, and takes him down with a Russian Leg Sweep. He hooks the leg, but King easily kicks out before the ref could count. Hudson quickly goes for a fury of rights into Marcus before stomping on him continuously until King was able to grab the stomping foot and stand up with Kurt in to, leaping on one foot to keep balance. Hudson then leaps for an Enzuigiri, but Marcus ducks the kick and has him down for the Ankle Lock! Marcus holds on to the Ankle Lock, then Kurt crawls fast to the ropes and hangs on to them for dear life. King releases the foot and Kurt stands up at the corner to rest. Unfortunately for him, King sees this and smirks before running straight at him with a hard Corner Clothesline. Hudson, however, managed to duck and King hits the turnbuckle chest-first. With this, Hudson ran towards the ropes, bounces off, and when Marcus turned to him, he grabs him in midair when Hudson tried for a Running Crossbody. Marcus then lifts him over the shoulders, walks to the center of the ring, and nails Kurt with a vicious Oklahoma Slam! Hudson shot out in slight pain while Marcus covered him; 1, 2... Hudson kicks out at 2.45! King picks Hudson up by the head and hits a European Uppercut, sending Hudson back to the ropes, bouncing off, and Marcus catches him with a Sidewalk Slam. He hooks both legs; 1, 2... Hudson gets the shoulder up at 2.52. King gets Hudson up once more and Hudson kicks King right in the midsection! With Marcus bent over, Kurt goes to the side and hits a Big Boot right to the skull. King lies on the canvas, holding his head after that boot, then Kurt sizes him and nails a Knee Drop to the skull. Kurt continues taking over the advantage of the downed Marcus with his Knee Drops to the skull. He pins his shoulders down; 1, 2... Marcus kicks out at 2.79.
"After those many Knee Drops to the face by Kurt, Marcus does not want to stay down," Zack stated.
"Can't the big guys like this one do Kurt a favor and do so?" Barney requested.
Kurt stands up once more, walks backwards to the ropes, bounces off, and comes back with a jumping Knee Drop, but only to hit the canvas instead as Marcus moved out of the way! Hudson nurses his knee as King runs to the ropes, bounces off, and hits the Running Big Boot right in the face! He hooks the leg; 1, 2... Kick out at 2.89! Just when pins were not going to work, Marcus thought of making him tap. Cracking a smirk, King grabs one of Kurt's leg and prepares for the Ultimate Lock (Figure-Four Leg Lock). However, when Kurt sees Marcus turns his back for it, he manages to pushes him off with his one foot. Hudson rolls to his feet, ducks a Clothesline, grabs Marcus' head from behind and plants a Neckbreaker Slam! Hudson then picks him up and hits the Backhand Chop and hits chop after chop until he whips Marcus to the ropes, but King reverses it due to his strength. Hudson bounces off and gets sent nearly across the ring after a HUGE Shoulder Block from Marcus! Kurt rolls onto the apron to catch his breath, but Marcus walks up to him, grabs his head over the ropes, and makes him stand up on the apron. King looks to bring him back over the top rope, but Hudson counters with a Hotshot, forcing Marcus' head to snap back from the ropes and hit the canvas. Hudson rolls back in the ring and sizes King up for the Hudson Street. King stands up with his back turned on Hudson and Kurt hooks up the Cobra Clutch. He goes for the move, but couldn't as Marcus was too heavy. That gives Marcus the advantage by throwing Hudson over his shoulders. As Kurt stands up, Marcus locks him in the Inverted Facelock, looking to end this match with the Final Impact. With his free right arm, Marcus raises a fist and shouts to the fans, signaling the end and he hits said finisher! He hooks the leg, but the ref doesn't see it as he is distracted with Alyssa on the apron, shouting at him. Marcus wonders why he doesn't here the 3-count and he looks to see the ref is distracted. He gets up with his arms spread out and has the "What the hell?" look on his face. Little did he know that Hattori Hanzo stalks behind Marcus. As Marcus turned around to get to Kurt, Hanzo leaps for the Soul Harvester...but Marcus pushes him off!
"And it looks like Hanzo fails to make Marcus another one of Hudson's tactics!" Zack said.
Hanzo hits the mat hard and gets forced up with the Inverted Facelock. Marcus faces the crowd and hits the Final Impact to Hanzo! King then gets Hattori up to his feet and throws him out of the ring. He turns back to Hudson and lifts him up by the throat. Then, Marcus lifts him up for a Chokeslam...but gets countered with the Money Slam!
"Money Slam! Kurt hits the Money Slam from out of nowhere!" Barney exclaimed. "Aw, hell yeah!"
"But can he get this one?" Zack asked.
After Kurt hit the Money Slam, Alyssa steps off the apron and ref sees Kurt pinning Marcus; 1, 2, 3!
"Guess who's going into the Chamber of Blood, baby!" Barney cheered.
("I Come From Money" by S-Preme)
"Here is your winner, Kurt Hudson!"
Hudson rolls off Marcus and out of the ring as Alyssa cheered with him in celebration of winning the match. Hanzo, however, lays against the security barricade, holding his neck after from Marcus' Final Impact with a smirk to see Hudson win the match. With Kurt and Alyssa, Hudson gives his girlfriend a kiss before saying to the camera, "At Reign in Blood, I walk in the King of Money...and I'll walk out as the King of Blood. Watch me!" Marcus stands on his knees in the ring, looking a bit disappointed and ran his hand through his hair.
"Too bad Marcus couldn't get the win, but he did pretty good. Might as well give him credit for that," Kenji said.
"Eh, I guess I can, too. He had a lot over Hudson, but Kurt manage to get the W tonight and is heading into his first Chamber Match," Barney stated. "And he'll be joining Nathan along with another competitor that will be in the match later tonight."
"That he will. Could have been Marcus, but thanks to Alyssa and Hanzo making the distraction to the ref and Marcus, Hudson took great advantage of that and stole the win," Zack stated.
"But he won it CLEAN. When Kurt was lifted up for a Chokeslam, he manages to catch King with the Money Slam. Therefore, he wins cleanly and will be heading on into the Chamber."
"Question is, will he survive his FIRST-EVER Chamber Match?" Kenji quipped. "We're gonna have to find out when we head to Reign in Blood."
The scene changes to the interview arena, where we see violet-haired Clarissa Rivera with her beautiful smile displayed on her face.
"Hi, everybody! Clarissa Rivera here!" she greeted happily. "I hope you guys are really having a good day and it's gonna get better for you all. Because with me right now are the three awesome dudes known as...The Erupting Eds!" The camera pans out to show all three Eds together as the crowd cheers loudly in reaction. "Firstly off, you guys, welcome back to ACW!"
"It's good to be back here, Clarissa," Eddy spoke. "Especially the best part of getting some payback at those SHIELD dirt-bags."
"So I see. Anyways, now that you, Double D, and Ed have returned to ACW, are you three planning on facing The SHIELD for the ACW Trio Tag Team Championships?" she asked.
Edd answers, "Truthfully, yes, Ms. Rivera. It's quite obvious we would want to face The SHIELD for their Trio Belts. Not only for the gold, but for redemption as well considering we have some unfinished business with those three known as Hector Ambrose, Erik Rollins, and David Reigns. For one thing, they— Luke Smith, most likely— also have their eyes set on Duke's Television Championship. If they want to do that, they're gonna have to get through us Eds. Even though he's not a team member, we won't allow and stand to see the sights of a delusional copy of a stable from the WWE take out innocent wrestlers for no reason. And we—"
"Hang on, hang on, hang on a second there, Eddward!" Hector Ambrose interrupted Edd and with him were Erik and David. "Am I hearing you just right? YOU think that we're a mere copy of the WWE's Shield? Tch, if anything, we're showing tribute to the Hounds of Justice. And we're doing so by showing REAL justice around this damn company."
"So, by doing that, you're dressed like those three dudes? It ain't even Halloween, man!" Eddy quips, receiving a few chuckles from the fans.
"Oh, nice joke, McGee..." Hector sarcastically said. "You three want to know why we're after Duke for his TV Title? It's because guys like him don't deserve it. Duke was UNTOUCHABLE against James Griffin after his win and we can't stand to see that injustice happen. So...that is why Luke Smith will do The SHIELD a damn good favor by taking away what's precious to him: the ACW Television Championship. And along with that, we will beat you three and successfully defend our Trio Tag Team Championships. And when it comes to that day...Justice...will prevail over you three morons and that fraud of a Television Champ. Don't believe me? Watch Luke's match later tonight and you'll see..."
With that, Ambrose walks away and bumps shoulders with Eddy on purpose as The SHIELD leaves. Eddy glares at the three before Edd placed his hand on his shoulder to calm him down.
"We'll get them, Eddy. Patience is a virtue, you know," Edd stated.
"Tch, don't remind me, Sock-head," Eddy rolled his eyes.
"Guys, if we don't hurry, the Candy Store's gonna be closed!" Ed shouted.
"Ed, we're not even IN Peach Creek," Edd reminded.
"But belly hungry! Belly bad!" the monobrowed Ed cried.
Eddy pinched his forehead and groaned, "Ugh...if you want, we can leave to find a—GAH!"
That's when Ed grabbed Edd and Eddy and shouts happily, "Then lead the way, Mistah Eddy McGee!"
"Ed, we're not even sure if there is a Candy Store around here!" Edd exclaimed.
But Ed didn't listen as he ran off with Eddy and Edd in his arms find a Candy Store...that is if he can find one. Clarissa was left by herself at the interview arena and blinked twice at what just happened.
She then looked to the camera in front of her and shrugged with a small smile, "...Ed is Ed, I guess."
(Commercial Break)
Returning to the show, we see the crowd and the ring for an upcoming match. That's when "This Fire Burns" by Killswitch Engage played over the loudspeakers and everyone in the arena bursts into cheers as the lights changed into a mixture of dark blue and white at the stage.
[YEAH!
Yeah!]
("This Fire Burns" by Killswitch Engage)
[All I've ever wanted was destiny to be fulfilled
It is in my hands, I must not fail!
I must not fail!

Phil Hardy enters the stage with his arms splayed proudly as the fans cheered for him. By then, Phil takes a knee on the stage, still with his arms splayed before pulling the bandana covering half of his face down, cupping his hands around his mouth and shouts, "THE SAINT HAS ARRIVED!" He stands up and throws his fist forward, revealing the text on the back of his Second City Saint's hoodie saying, "Second City Saint." He turns back and runs up to the turnbuckle with his right foot standing on the top rope and his left on the second, looking all around the fans with a smirk before leaping down to the mat.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 180 pounds, 'The Saint' Phil Hardy!"
"Ugh! I can handle The SHIELD because they have a good reason for showing tribute for their favorite team in WWE, but with Phil...God, he's just as bad as Colt!" Barney said. "But the only good thing about this kid is PHIL is actually smarter than his idiotic friend!"
"Hey, give the kid a break, will you, Stinson?" Kenji said. "He's already lost his match at Spring Breakdown against A&O and James. I don't think he needs to hear anything from you."
"Fine, but don't blame me if he loses."
[Sierra, Hotel, India, Echo, Lima, Delta

("Special Op" by Jim Johnston)
The crowd's cheers changes into boos as the lights changed to light gray around the stage. Walking down the arena steps were Luke Smith as he makes his way to the ring. When he reaches the barricade, he jumps over it and slides into the squared circle. Luke stands up, faces the crowd with a raised right fist and shouts, "Believe in Justice! Believe...in the Shield!"
"And his opponent: from San Antonio, Texas, weighing in at 185 pounds, he is a member of The SHIELD, Luke Smith!"
"Luke Smith, prepared for his first singles match against Phil Hardy, who is also having his first ACW singles match," Zack stated. "Let's see how this guy can represent the 'justice' he and his group can do."
"Representing Justice: you're damn right he is," Barney stated. "I see a lot of great things happening in this kid's future. It'll be an easy cinch beating this Hardy punk."
Phil takes his hoodie off and throws it to the outside. When he turned around, Luke wasted little time going at him with a corner Clothesline and starts stomping a mudhole on Phil. The ref calls for the match to start and Luke continues the stomping right into the chest of the Saint. Luke forces Phil to his feet and whips him to the opposite ropes. Phil hits the corner and eats another Clothesline from Luke! Luke then hooks him up for a Vertical Suplex, stalls it for a few moments and plants Phil with said maneuver. Luke quickly hooks the leg; 1... Hardy quickly kicks out! Smith grabs Phil's head and nails a hard right to it. Luke picks him up and plants Hardy with a Scoop Slam on the canvas. Phil stands up fast and gets Irish Whipped to the corner...and barely dodges a Stinger Splash from Smith! Taking advantage, Phil runs to the ropes, bounces off, and comes back a Front Dropkick to Luke, surprisingly sending him to the outside! As Luke is recovering, Phil grabs the top rope and sizes him from the ring...Luke stands on both feet...Phil slingshots himself over the top rope...and nails the Plancha!
"Looks like the Saint is quickly taking back control into the match after that amazing Plancha," Kenji stated.
"Eh. I give it a 6 out of 10 from Phil," Barney bluntly said.
Phil rolls to his feet and smacked his chest in confidence, receiving cheers and small claps from the crowd. By then, Hardy picks Luke up and receives a thumb to the eye!
"Hey, cheap shot, man! Cheap shot!" Zack called.
Luke grabs Phil and throws him inside the ring. He slides in and as Phil stands up, Luke hits the ropes, looks for a Running Elbow, and misses it by a mile! Luke hits the mat and Phil leaps up from the canvas and hits an Elbow Drop. Phil hooks the leg; 1, 2... Luke kicks out at 2.67! Phil brings Luke up and slams his head into the turnbuckle before hitting a Knife Edge Chop. Phil leaps on the second rope and starts nailing a fist to the face of Smith as the crowd counts, "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9..." and then Hardy sets him for a Monkey Flip and hits it! Luke sits up in pain after that Monkey Flip and Phil puts him down for a cover; 1, 2... Luke gets the shoulder up at 2.89. Hardy sits up and moves the hair out of his face, looking a bit irritated. Hardy then looks up to the top rope and had an idea. Phil gets up and starts climbing to the top. Once he reaches there, he stands high and raises both arms up, pointing to the sky. Then, he leaps off the top rope, going for the Epic Elbow Drop...but Luke rolls out of the way and Phil crashes and burns on the mat! Phil shouts in pain from missing that Elbow Drop to Luke and the SHIELD member gets him to his feet, puts Phil's arm in a Hammerlock, lifts him up for the Scoop Slam, and nails it, hitting both back and the injured arm. Phil sits up from the maneuver to shake off the pain off his arm. However, Luke puts him down, holds the targeting arm down, lifts himself up, and hits a knee right to the elbow.
"And Luke is going to work on the injured arm after Phil made a mistake by missing that Epic Elbow Drop," Barney stated. "Man, is he paying the price."
Luke continues with the knee to the elbow before laying it on the arm, putting more pressure into the injured limb. Phil just screams in agony as the ref scolds him to get off and Luke does so with his hands up with a smug look on his face. Luke backs into the corner and begins climbing to the top. Luke crouches on the turnbuckle, measuring Phil from there as he tries to get to his feet. Hardy manages and turns to Luke, Luke dives off for a Diving Enzuigiri...and Phil ducks the foot from Smith! Luke crashes onto the mat while Phil brings him up, grabs him by the head, and hits the Showstopper (Swinging Cutter)! Phil doesn't go for the cover yet as he sizes him up for a finisher with CM Punk's signature taunt of putting his opponent to sleep. Or in his case, making his opponent have a nap. Luke groggily stands up, holding his head after that Cutter and gets lifted up Phil into a Fireman's Carry. Phil drops Luke forward and hits the TAN: Take a Nap (GTS: Go To Sleep)!
"Phil hits it! Phil makes Luke Take a Nap!" Kenji exclaimed. "Can he make it count?"
Phil covers Luke and hooks the leg; 1, 2, 3!
"He got it!" Zack cheered.
"Crap!" Barney exclaimed.
("This Fire Burns" by Killswitch Engage)
"Here is your winner, Phil Hardy!"
Phil stands on his knees, exhausted and panting while the referee raises his right arm in victory. Phil points to the down Luke and motions he made him take a nap with a smirk. Phil proudly stands on the second turnbuckle and points to the crowd, showing he's the fan favorite.
"Phil did an amazing job tonight beating Luke Smith via TAN. If I can tell, Phil's got a great career right ahead of him in Fictional Wrestling," Kenji proclaimed.
"Yeah, that's nice, Benji. And I'm going to be the worst commentator ever. Oh, wait, I'm not! And as for Phil..." Barney paused before grinning, "...Phil's gonna get what he has coming to him."
"What the hell are you...? Oh, no..." Zack says...
...as Hector Ambrose, Erik Rollins, and David Reigns slide into the ring from the barricade and attacks Phil from behind!
"Damn those Hounds! Damn them! They're attacking Phil like a pack of wild dogs! What the hell are they even doing out here!" Kenji exclaimed.
"Well, if it's Justice they're serving, they're most certainly doing so," Barney chuckled. "Really, though, they're just sending a message to the dorks and that fraud of a champion, Duke."
"What right do they have to do this to Phil?!" Zack inquired. "He's done nothing to The SHIELD to make them do this!"
Hector, Erik, and David continued the beat down onto Phil before Luke joined in. It stops when Hector ordered so. As the crowd continues the loud boos, Ambrose and Rollins bring Phil up as David backs into the corner. Hector and Erik throws Phil into the sprinting David...and DAVID HITS THE FINAL REIGN (Spear)!
"By God! Phil just got murdered from that Spear!" Kenji shouted.
"Oh, man! That was brutally awesome!" Barney laughed. "Now THAT'S what I call making an impact! That'll show those idiotic Eds who they're messing with!"
Luke grabs microphone from the bell keeper and looks down at Phil with a smirk while chuckling.
"...Heh-heh... Hey, Phil...you alright, man...? That Spear looked like it hurt pretty bad. But, hey, don't take it personal from us, man. We have four problems of our own. We don't need a fifth one, that's for sure. And look at the bright side, at least your 'best friend' Colt Anderson isn't here to laugh at the Saint he uses to get to the top without even lifting a finger," Luke chuckled as half of the fans boo at the cheap shot. "Anyways...what we did to you tonight, Philip, The SHIELD is just showing a message to let others know what happens when you underestimate ACW's Hounds of Justice. Don't believe me? We'll just show you." Luke turns to his stable, "Hey, guys...make sure justice is served...to our friend Phil."
"WHAT?" Kenji yells. "You got to be kidding me! Don't tell me they're gonna do this!"
Erik steps out of the ring, looks through under the apron, and takes out...a wooden table.
"Oh, they are, Benji! Justice is about to get served!" Barney said. "Funny thing is, this kid's done nothing to receive this! Ha-ha, man, what a night so far!"
"Only YOU would enjoy this, Stinson. Then again, I'm not surprised," Kenji deadpanned.
Rollins slides the table inside and Hector begins setting it up in the middle of the ring. After setting it up, Hector tells David to hit Phil with the Powerbomb. Reigns brings the knocked out Phil up in his feet and before he could set him up...
[One of a Kind!]
("One of a Kind" by Breaking Point)
The SHIELD turn their attention to the stage as Duke Devlin walked out with the TV Title around his waist and a focused, yet, angry expression on his face. Luke quickly puts a stop before Duke can even take a step.
"Whoawhoawhoawhoawhoa! Hold it right there, Devlin!" Luke said. "Don't even THINK about trying to save the day. You try and Phil here will our first subject to go through that table. And quite honestly, we rather have you through one than him. In fact...why don't we trade Phil for you, Duke? Come on, why don't you be a martyr for these people who live in injustice and save Philip?"
Duke looks to the crowd as they plead not to let him go to the ring, thinking it could be a trap. Devlin had no choice but to risk it. As Duke slowly slid into the ring, Reigns throw Phil aside and The SHIELD let him in. Duke glares at all The SHIELD members before glaring at Smith with clenched fists.
Luke speaks into the mic again, "There... Now...do you have anything to say about yourself being a fraud of a champion...Dukey?"
Luke pushes the mic into Duke's chest and the TV Champ holds it in his hand.
He brings the microphone up to his lips and speaks, "...For one thing, I got nothing to say to you, Luke. Not you or anyone else in The SHIELD. However...when you said I come and be the martyr for Phil...you didn't say anything about this martyr kicking YOUR ass!"
Duke then hits the mic on Luke's head and starts going all out on him! It didn't last too long as the rest of The SHIELD pull Devlin off of Smith and start stomping him down. Luke yells at his group to bring Duke to him. Erik pulls Duke up and throws him to Luke and he takes him down with a Clothesline. Luke then picks him up, sets up a Suplex, lifts him up vertically, and hits the Silversmith (Spike Brainbuster), knocking Duke out cold!
"What a nasty Brainbuster from Luke! I think Devlin might be out of this!" Kenji exclaimed.
Luke nurses his jaw while standing over Duke. Luke looks to David and both men nod to each other, motioning to put Devlin through the table. David nods and puts him in the Standing Headscissors. By then, he lifts him up over the shoulders, both Erik and Hector grab Duke together, but they don't hit the Powerbomb yet as Luke goes to the ropes behind them.
"What is Luke thinking?" Zack inquired.
Smith then leaps on to the ropes, bounces off the top, and catches Duke's head with an Over Castle while at the same time, David, Hector, and Erik sent Duke right through the table, hitting Justice is Served (Triple Aided Powerbomb)!
"OH, MY GOD!" Kenji exclaimed.
"Holy damn! That was freaking awesome! I've NEVER seen such a thing from those guys!" Barney laughed. "Now THAT'S what I call Justice is Served. Then again, that's what it's called by these dudes."
The SHIELD stand over the demolished Television Champion lying on the table and Smith crouches to take the TV Title from him. He stands up before speaking again.
"See, Duke... THIS...is what's going to happen to you very soon... Justice will prevail all those who stand against The Hounds of Justice... And the ones who stand against us are you...and those idiotic Eds," Luke sneered. "They said they got your back? It doesn't look like it. If they did, where are they now?!"
"Luke is such a smug—HEY!" Kenji shouted...
...as the Erupting Eds came sliding under the ring with Edd and Eddy having steel chairs in their hands and The SHIELD quickly runs out of there! The fans explodes in cheers when they showed up.
"WHAT?! Where the hell did these three dorks showed up! This makes NO sense at all!" Barney shouted.
"It may not to you, Stinson, but at least they stopped the madness," Kenji said.
"Yeah, but WHERE were they when he needed them the most, huh?! Answer me that, punk! It doesn't seem like that the Eds are going to earn Dukey-boy's trust so well."
The SHIELD retreat through the audience to the backstage as the Eds taunt them running away. Edd then checks on Duke, who is still lying on the broken table. Pretty soon, a few medical trainers came in and starts helping the Eds get Duke out of the ring and on their way to help him with the damage that has been done to him along with Phil.
(Commercial Break)
Returning to the show, we see Stan Terra and Carter Young getting prepared themselves for their Triple Threat Tag Match later tonight. As they did, they looked up to see something off-screen and scowled.
"What the hell do YOU want?" Carter scowled...
...as Ryo Bakura and Marik Ishtar, the Gods of Darkness, walked up to Alpha & Omega as fans booed loudly.
"Listen, Carter...I know we don't see eye to eye at all. However, there's only one team we despise so much, we rather take them out of this business for good. And you know who that team is. Especially...HIM," Bakura slightly growled when he mentioned Takashi.
Carter crosses his arms in slight interest, "...That I can tell by much, Ryo... With what he said about the RR and Souichi...complete bull crap. But where are you going with this?"
"Here's what I'm saying. Soon, when we enter that ring and face Komuro and Hirano...what do you say we make a temporary partnership?" Bakura suggested.
Carter raises a brow, "Temporary partnership, huh?"
"Yes... If we work together...we can easily take Komuro and his fat friend out of the match for good. Therefore, they don't receive the shot."
"But where does that leave us?"
"You'll find out soon enough, Carter. You and Stan will find out soon enough..." Marik said.
The Gods then take their leave as Carter and Stan looked on and were suspicious of this.
"...Do you think we should trust them?" Carter asked his partner.
Stan only answers with a slow shrug, motioning he's quite unsure of this. Carter looks back to the direction where Marik and Ryo left and the scene changes to the arena with Kenji, Zack, and Barney after seeing that in the backstage.
"No way. No way in hell this can happen," Kenji said. "Alpha & Omega working together with the Gods of Darkness?! This brings a total unfair advantage to Takashi and Kohta!"
"Now, now, Benji, think about this. If they DO work together, it'll be a hell of a miracle!" Barney smirked.
"It'll be a damnation if this happens!"
"Hang on, hang on, you two!" Zack stopped the argument. "Remember that Carter and Stan were unsure of this 'temporary partnership.' So therefore, it could mean that both RR members might know the Gods can betray them just like that. So, we're just gonna have to wait and see."
("Lose My Mind" by DMX)
The crowd bursts into a booing reaction, mostly mixed, as a 1965 Impala with hydraulics comes at the nearside of the cruise boat and soon stops. Exiting out first was Tony Blake with a mic at hand and next was Adrian Blake from the other side. As both brothers were near the ramps, Tony starts to speak into the mic as the brothers' theme music lowers down.
"Yo...don't think we're in a GOOD mood, people! Because throughout these past few weeks, we've got nothin' but DISRESPECT! From 'Big Baby Bitch' Clarke to Daniel Kent to their ugly mamas, we get nothing but disrespect and been getting buried. We've got NO love in this damn business. Should we be surprised?! Hell, no! Are we quitting? I don't think so. For me and my bro, 'A,' we are Blakes. And as part of the Blake Family, we ain't quitting till we say we quit! Bank on that when we beat this punk-ass UFC Fighter after he had NO business beating the hell out of us! Kid, what you've done to us, you gonna regret what you did to us last week. Because it's time to get some payback tonight," Tony proclaimed as he dropped the mic and he and Adrian slide into the ring and their tag team song plays again.
"The following Handicapped Tag Match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Washington D.C., at a combined weight of 514 pounds, the team of 'Hot Flash' Tony Blake and 'A' Adrian Blake, the Blake Brothers!"
"With what Tony said, I feel the passion for this guy. After getting buried bad last week, they're looking for redemption against that no-good UFC Fighter!" Barney said. "Honestly, what business does that guy have with 'A' and Tony?"
"I got NO idea, Stinson. Seriously, I don't!" Kenji said. "The guy just came from out of nowhere and demolished them."
The arena goes completely dark for a few moments. Then, as the theme song starts up, the TitanTron and spotlights turn black and red.
[I've had enough, I'm taking you down
Taking you down!]
("Taking You Down" by Egypt Central)
Daniel Kent appears on stage with his head down and hood up on a piece of the stage rising up from underground via an underground lift. As the first verse is sung, Daniel snaps his head up, sending back his hood and revealing his serious facial expression. He walks down the ramp during the first verse, occasionally looking out to the crowd. As he approaches the steel steps, he takes off his jacket and leaves it on the steel steps. He enters the ring through the second and third ropes. As the chorus is sung, he climbs to the top of a turnbuckle. When "Down!" Is screamed for the second time before the second verse, Daniel beats his chest and roars at the top of his lungs with his fists clenched and arms outstretched while red pyro shoots out of the turnbuckles Daniel isn't posing on. He repeats this a second time on another turnbuckle, but without the pyro.
"And their opponent, making his ACW Debut, from New York City, New York, weighing in at 233 pounds, the 'Machine Gun' Daniel Kent!"
"Daniel Kent, as we listed last week: 2-time UFC Heavyweight Champion, longest UFC Heavyweight Championship Reign at 1,482 Days, and with the most wins in UFC Heavyweight Division history at 37-4, losing to only Frank Mir, Anderson Silva, and losing the title to Randy Couture and Cain Velasquez," Kenji listed. "To this day, Daniel is still apart of Ultimate Fighting Championship as he is officially signed to the ACW Roster. In Developmental, he was also the first-ever ADW United States Champion."
"If there's one thing we can tell, this guy won't disappoint us one bit considering he's already wrestling in another company known as TCW," Zack stated.
"I hope this guy fails miserably in this match. He should get his just desserts after delivering the tragedy to both Adrian and Tony," Barney scolded.
Daniel and Tony stand at their respective corners as Adrian stands on the apron. The ref shouts for the bell to ring. Tony and Kent walked up to each other and start exchanging harsh words to each other. This keeps going until Tony slaps him right across the face. Kent rubs his cheek from that hard slap and smirked. He faces Tony and he returns the slap to him. Tony rubs his cheek before making the right to Kent and both men starts exchanging fists to one another until Kent ducks one from Tony and takes him down with a European Uppercut. Tony quickly stands up and Kent Irish Whips him to the ropes. Tony bounces off and Daniel catches him with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex. Tony hits the canvas and gets taken down with a Clothesline from Daniel when he stood up. Kent brings Tony up and whips him to the ropes but gets reversed. Tony runs back at the ropes, bounces off, sprints at the running MMA fighter and gets taken down with a Shoulder Block from him! Daniel runs at the ropes, bounces off as Tony rolls onto his stomach, and Kent leaps over him to the other side. Kent bounces off the ropes and now Tony brings him down with a Back Elbow. The loudmouth Blake quickly covers; 1... Kent kicks out at one! Tony then starts harshly rubbing his forearm across Kent's face and the ref shouts at him to halt the move as he counts up to five. Tony stops at four and drags Daniel to his corner to tag in Adrian. Tony throws Kent over with a Snapmare and holds his head as Adrian runs to the ropes, bounces off, and nails a HARD Big Boot right in the face!
"OH! What a boot Adrian has! Kent's face has GOT to be dented after that awesome boot," Barney exclaimed.
"I'll admit, that WAS a hard boot," Kenji admitted.
After hitting that tag team maneuver, Tony steps out onto the apron as Adrian covers Daniel, but he kicks out at 1.9! Adrian picks up Daniel, wraps the arms around the waist, throws him across the ring with a Gutwrench Suplex, and hits it. Adrian then brings him up by the throat with both hands, and lifts him up high. Adrian stalls the hold for a while before throwing Kent down with a Double-handed Chokeslam. Adrian then flexes his muscles to show what strong strength he has as fans give a booing, yet mixed reaction. Before Adrian could get to Daniel, the Machine Gun rolls out of the ring to catch his breath. Adrian follows and as he grabs him from behind, Daniel quickly counters with an elbow to the gut and slams his head right onto the steel steps! Then, Daniel hooks him up and nails a Snap Suplex right across the protected floor! Daniel winces as Adrian nearly shouts in pain from his spine hitting the padded floor. Kent stands up, brings Adrian to his feet and throws him into the ring before sliding back inside as the ref stops at five. Kent rolls him for the pin; 1, 2... Adrian gets the shoulder up at 2.78! Kent runs his hand through his buzz-cut and brings Adrian to his feet and hits a straight right knee to the face. Then he hits a left knee and finishes it with Double Knee Strike, making Adrian stumble. Kent quickly backs to the ropes, but runs into a huge Lariat from 'A'! Adrian then runs to the ropes and Tony tags himself in without Kent knowing only. Adrian goes for a Leg Drop and Daniel rolls out of the way, making Adrian miss. With him sitting up, Kent runs to the ropes, bounces off and hits a Front Dropkick straight to the face. Kent hooks the leg, but the ref tells Kent Adrian's not the legal opponent. As Kent stands up confused at the ref, Tony climbs to the top turnbuckle and sizes him up from there. When Kent turned back, Tony jumps off for the Kill Yo Self! (Diving Leg Lariat)...and Daniel somehow manages to catch him in the air!
"Whoa! Daniel somehow catches Tony Blake in the air! What strength this guy has!" Kenji exclaimed.
"Tony, you better get out of there now, bub!" Barney shouted. "You're gonna screw up if you don't do something!"
Daniel turns around to go for a Powerbomb, but Tony wouldn't let him do so as he continued the right fists to the temple. Eventually, Kent looks for it and Tony goes for a Hurricanrana to counter, but Daniel catches him upside down...grabs the legs...and locks in the Boston Crab, elevated though!
"THE BOSTON CRAB! Daniel's got the Boston Crab locked and he has it elevated!" Kenji exclaimed.
"No! Tony! Remember what you said before! 'A Blake never gives up,' man!" Barney reminded. "DO NOT TAP OUT!"
"I think he may have to at this point, Barney! They right in the middle of the ring and there's no place for Tony to go for a rope break!" Zack said.
Tony is screaming in agonizing pain of being locked in the elevated Boston Crab from Daniel. Kent just continues driving the pressure into the lower spine with Tony shaking his hand violently, teasing to tap out, but willing to reach the ropes. A few moments has passed through the match and as Tony already looked like he was about to tap...Kent gets taken down with a vicious Big Boot from out of nowhere by Adrian! Kent falls to the canvas nearly out cold as Adrian helps his brother up. Tony sees Daniel down and motions his brother they end this. Tony begins climbing to the top turnbuckle as Kent stumbles to his feet. Then Adrian brings him up with the Electric Chair position from behind and faces Tony. Tony stands high on the turnbuckle, sneers at Kent, jumps off with the Kill Yo Self!, and both Blakes connect the tag team finisher Neckbreaka'!
"NECKBREAKA'! HELL, YEAH!" Barney cheered. "Pin him now, Tony! PIN!"
Tony quickly crawls to Kent and hooks the leg; 1, 2, 3!
"They got the win! Tony and Adrian got the win! Redemption has been completed!" Zack exclaimed.
("Lose My Mind" by DMX)
"Here are your winners, 'Hot Flash' Tony Blake and Adrian Blake, the Blake Brothers!"
Tony stands and is surprised that he and 'A' actually won the match as their arms are raised in victory by the ref. Tony's arm is released and he runs up to the second turnbuckle, gloating his victory to the fans as they continue to boo, but yet were mixed.
"Not many fans like them, but it seems that they won CLEAN," Kenji states. "Not only that, they managed to get their redemption."
"That they did, Benji! That they did," Barney said. "Oh, Lord, have you brought good upon us!"
"Yeah, yeah, we get it," Kenji deadpanned.
Tony steps down from the turnbuckle and leaves the ring with his brother. Tony backs up at the ramps with a smirk as Kent kneels in the ring, tired and hurt from the match.
"Daniel Kent has his first loss in ACW. However, I believe that it's not going to hold him down later," Kenji stated. "That much I know. Not a lot of people who debut win, but they know they did their best. And so did Daniel tonight."
"Well, for now Kenji, let's see where the future holds for he and the others tonight," Zack stated.
We change to see Coco Bandicoot walking around in the hallway and is apparently looking around for someone.
"Crash!" Coco called. "Crash, where are you? You're gonna miss your match coming up next!" Then she heard a noise somewhere off-screen. "...Crash? Is that you?"
She slowly walked to where the noise was coming from and as she got closer...
"BANZAI!" Crash screamed happily from the opposite side riding a shopping cart and Coco moves out of the way, making the crazy bandicoot crashes into various objects.
Coco winces before opening her eyes to see the damage. However, she wasn't surprised at her brother doing this as she shook her head with a small smile. Crash soon appears in the camera's sight with a metal bowl over his head, inciting laughter from the crowd.
"Crash, what were you doing?"
Crash only shrugged with the crazy grin on his face. Coco chuckled.
"Well, we need to get going. Your match is up next and you don't want to miss out on being in the Playground of Blood, right?" Coco asked and Crash shook his head. "What are you waiting for? Go out there and show 'em what Crash Bandicoot is made of!"
Crash shouts, "PANCAKES!" then he takes the bowl off, smashes his face into it, making a face-imprint, drops it, and runs off to the Gorilla Position.
As Coco looked on, Yugi Mutou walks in looking at the same direction Coco is looking as the crowd cheers immensely.
"Heh, good luck to your brother, Coco," Yugi said.
"Thanks. But with Crash, I don't think he'll need it," she chuckled.
"Heh, alright. Hey, might as well follow him to make sure he doesn't do anything too crazy or life-threatening."
"Yeah, I'll do that—CRASH, STOP! That's not something for you to mess with!" Coco shouted as she ran off-screen.
Yugi chuckled as the crowd joined in from Crash's antics.
"Coming up, folks, another qualifying match to enter the Playground of Blood, next!" Kenji announced.
(Commercial Break)
Coming back from commercial, the fans are shown waiting for the upcoming match before switching to the stage.
("Another Me" by Peroxwhy?gen)
[Another me is what there will never be
Another life like this you'll never see]
The crowd begins cheering as lights turn blue and purple, and moments later, Alex Loredo walks out to the stage with the blue and white jersey with A5L design on front and confident smirk on his face. He splays his arms out pointing to the crowd at opposite sides then throws his arms down with a prideful shout before walking down to the ring. Making it to ringside, Alex leaps up to the ring apron, grabs the rope, and slingshots himself over the top rope to enter the ring. By then, Loredo stands on the second turnbuckle near him and raises a right fist high to the crowd, the proud smile never leaving his face.
"The following contest is a qualification match to enter the Playground of Blood at Reign in Blood! Introducing first, from Nampa, Idaho, weighing in at 214 lbs., 'The Extreme Warrior' Alex Loredo!"
"Nice to see the Extreme Warrior, Alex Loredo, back in action in ACW to compete in this qualifying match," Kenji said. "This guy's done a few things around here in the wrestling business so far. He was the first to face Jason in an Extreme Rules Match for the Hardcore Title. He really went all-out in that match."
"That he did...and he lost with a stupid mistake by being distracted with the damn flaming table and getting Gored right through it by Jason Mother F'n Krueger," Barney stated. "And thanks to that, the kid's been on a bad losing streak."
"Hey, it isn't even that bad of a losing streak, Barney," Zack retorted. "Sure, he hasn't done much, but like ACW, he's just getting started. And how would you even know? You never even been here in the first place."
"I've been watching since the first episode, man. I couldn't handle such crap it had with you two losers talking. Why do you think I'm here?"
"Smart-ass," Kenji deadpanned.
("No More Words" by EndeverafterR)
The crowd exploded into very loud cheers as the lights turned orange. Crash came out onto the stage in a wild frenzy, throwing his arms in all sorts of directions as he ran all over the stage before standing in the center of the ring and suddenly began spinning in place like an orange twister for a few moments before jumping up into the air and landed emphatically on the ground, orange machine gun pyro going upon his landing. Coco came out beside her brother and smiled as Crash ran down the ramp and slid into the ring before climbing up the turnbuckle and bobbing his head to the beat of the music midst the cheers.
"And his opponent, accompanied by Coco Bandicoot, from Wumpa Island, Australia, weighing in at 213 pounds, 'The Orange Twister' Crash Bandicoot!"
"Hey-hey! Welcome back, Crash! Welcome back, bud!" Zack welcomed.
"Ugh... THIS guy?! Why is he, of all people— no, of all things, back here?!" Barney groaned. "He should be in the hospital and in shame after losing to Jason Krueger!"
"Well, that's what you think, Stinson. Crash Bandicoot may have lost against Krueger just two weeks ago at Spring Breakdown, but he still keeps the positive and insane attitude! No matter what bull crap he goes through!" Kenji stated. "We also want to congratulate him for getting contracted into the WWE along with Conker the Squirrel and ACW's World Tag Champ, Yugi Mutou!"
"Yeah, congratulate, whatever. The only irony I see in this match is two guys who lost to Krueger will be facing each other to enter the Playground of Blood. And personally, I hope Crash loses this one. So, Loredo, you have my support against this idiotic dog!"
Kenji rolls his eyes, "He's a bandicoot, jackass."
"Whatever!"
Crash steps down from the turnbuckle and both the bandicoot and Extreme Warrior stand at their respective corners as Coco stays at ringside. The ref checks both competitors and then calls for the bell. The match goes underway as both Crash and Alex circle around each other before rushing into an Collar-and-Elbow lock-up. Crash immediately changes it up by going behind Loredo with the Waist-lock and looks for the Back Suplex, but Alex lands on his feet. Alex then sets Crash up in the Inverted Facelock and looks for the Extreme Twist early, but only to be pushed away. Alex runs back to Crash and gets caught in a Hurricanrana Pin! Hooking both legs; 1... Loredo rolls Crash's shoulders down; 1, 2... Crash reverses it; 1, 2... Now Alex counters; 1, 2... Crash reverses it again! 1, 2... Alex counters back! 1, 2... Crash kicks out! The bandicoot then quickly rolls to his feet and nails a Front Dropkick right into the face of Loredo! With Alex nursing his face in pain, Crash grabs Alex's legs, lifts them up, gives his signature grin to the crowd, leaps up, and nails an Extreme Leg Drop right on the midsection!
"Oh, come on! Illegal, man! Illegal!" Barney called. "Ring the damn bell, ref!"
"Technically, Stinson, that move made famous by Jeff Hardy is known to be legal because it doesn't actually target the opponent's lower regions," Kenji noted. "Therefore, it doesn't count as an illegal move."
"Oh, screw your rulebook, Benji."
Alex rolls away from Crash in pain, nursing himself after that Leg Drop. Crash walks to him and brings him up to whip him to the ropes. Alex hits them and comes back to leap over Crash as the bandicoot was bent over for a Back Body Drop and catches him with a Sunset Flip Pin; 1, 2... Crash kicks out at 2.5! Both competitors roll to their feet and Crash throws Loredo over with a Arm Drag. Alex quickly stands and gets thrown over with another Arm Drag from Crash. Alex stands near the ring ropes after feeling a bit dazed and Crash whips him to a nearby corner before leaping for a Stinger Splash and completely misses it after Alex dodges him. Loredo turns Crash to face him and hits a Knife Edge Chop across the chest, inciting "WOOs" from the crowd. Alex then lifts Crash up to the top turnbuckle and climbs up. He sets himself and Crash at the top, leaps onto his shoulders, and lands a Super Hurricanrana! Alex groggily crawls to Crash and covers him; 1, 2... Crash gets the shoulder up at 2.87! Alex sits up with a smirk, showing he's enjoying this quite a bit. He grabs Crash's legs and begins dragging him to the nearest corner. When he reached there, Alex throws Crash over with a catapult to the turnbuckle and the bandicoot manages to catch himself on the ropes! Loredo stands up and gets taken down with a Springboard Corner Crossbody! He hooks both legs; 1, 2... Alex kicks out at 2.79! As Alex gets to his feet, Crash runs to the ropes, bounces them off, and Alex catches him for a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker, but Crash comes back an Headscissors Takedown. Alex stands up and Crash kicks him in the midsection, hooks both arms, and throws Loredo over with a Butterfly Suplex.
"What momentum Crash has over the young Extreme Warrior," Kenji stated. "He is on fire, man!"
"I wish he literally was," Barney deadpanned.
Crash goes for a quick cover; 1, 2... Alex rolls the shoulder up at 2.89! Crash stands up along with Alex in tow, but gets caught with a knee to the gut. Alex then looks to complete the Chaos Kick, but Crash catches the foot in time! Crash throws the foot aside, making Alex spin 360 degrees, and then Crash kicks him in the gut and sets him up for the Wumpa Twist. "WHOA!" a shout said from the bandicoot as he looks for the maneuver...and Alex pushes him off! Crash hits the ropes and comes back to get taken down with a Dropkick from Loredo! Crash stands once more, Alex ducks a Clothesline from him, grabs his head from behind and hits a Neckbreaker Slam. Alex leaps to his feet and shouts, "Come on!" as 75% of the crowd are behind him.
"Man, Alex has complete control over the match with Crash," Zack said. "I think he may have him here!"
"Yes! Alex, you better continue this momentum because I don't want that stupid bandicoot to win!" Barney said.
Alex goes to the outside of the ring apron and measures Crash up from there. The bandicoot stumbles to his feet, Alex jumps onto the ropes, slingshots them off for a Somersault Senton...and Crash manages to sidestep him! Alex stands in pain from the lower spine and Crash leaps from the top ring rope and manages to land a springboard version of the Crash and Burn to the Extreme Warrior! Crash leaps to his feet in excitement with the crowd cheering loudly for him as Alex stumbles to his feet. Then Crash hits the Toe Kick to the abdomen, grabs him in the Front Headlock, shouts "WHOA!" as the crowd follows, and nails the Wumpa Twist!
"Wumpa Twist! Crash hits the Wumpa Twist!" Kenji called.
"No! NO! Alex, make a comeback, you idiot!" Barny shouted.
Crash climbs up to the nearest turnbuckle, stands high, shouts "WHOA!" once again, and dives off to nail the Crash Landing!
"No, not this! Loredo, kick out, please!" Barney exclaimed.
Crash hooks the leg; 1, 2, 3!
"He got it! Yeah!" Zack exclaimed.
"Dammit all to hell!" Barney exclaimed.
("No More Words" by EndeverafteR)
"Here is your winner, Crash Bandicoot!"
The crowd cheered loudly as Crash got off of Alex and jumped into the air wildly and excitedly multiple times as he is happy he's entering the Chamber. Coco clapped as she cheered for her brother and Loredo sat in the corner, smirking at Crash's success. Crash gets his arm raised by the ref and he shouts "WHOA!" as he had the signature crazy grin on his face.
Barney groans, "Oh, how I hate this idiotic bandicoot... I hate him with all my guts!"
"Yeah, yeah, we hear that a lot, Stinson. Might as well get used to it," Kenji simply said.
"But how can I get used to the fact that HE is in the Chamber of Blood!? It's already bad enough he's in the Elimination Chamber at UCA Last Stand!" Barney stated. "Why, man?! Why?!"
"Barney, Crash won, Loredo lost. Get over it," Zack deadpanned.
Crash looks to leave the ring, but Loredo catches up with him. Crash tilts his head in confusion of what he wants. Alex, holding his abdomen in pain, extends his hand out for a handshake in respect. Crash grins and accepts it, eliciting a cheering reaction from the fans. "Good luck in the Chamber, Crash. You'll need it," Alex said to him and Crash responds with a nod. After a deal of respect, Crash exits the ring and backs up at the ramp with Coco to celebrate his victory while Alex stays in the ring, watching the bandicoot with a smile on his face.
"What great respect they've shown for each other, and it was damn well deserved!" Kenji stated. "From one extremist to another, they showed us what it is all about."
"BULL...CRAP. I call total bull crap on this, man! Alex should have just pulled Crash for a sucker-punch and take him out," Barney scolded. "THAT would have been a nice thing to see."
We switch to the hallways of the backstage area, where we see H.O.T.U. member Saeko Busujima in a split-position, stretching her legs out as she prepares for an upcoming match later tonight; fans cheer in reaction and most of the boys in the arena woo her. Saeko was completely focused and relaxed on it when suddenly a foot is seen onscreen next to Saeko. The violet haired girl looked up and smirked.
"Well, well..." Saeko then stands up and as she did...the camera follows to show Sakura Haruno and the crowd cheers in reaction.
"Surprised to see me?" Sakura smirked.
"Somewhat, heh. So what's up?" Saeko asks as she crosses her arms under her chest.
"Well, first, I'm here to tell you good luck. And since you're facing a certain someone I've fought before, you're probably gonna need it."
"Oh, I know who I'm facing, Sakura. And trust me, I know what I'm doing. I've seen how she plays her tricks in the ring. I know how to handle women like Kendra," Saeko stated. "She's smart when it comes to her skills and her low tactics, no doubt about it. But I can be one step ahead of her."
"You may be, but no telling when she'll strike back."
"You're correct about that," said another female voice off-screen.
Sakura and Saeko snapped their heads to Kendra Daniels standing with her hand on her left hip and a smug on her face; the crowd boos heavily at her arrival.
"...Kendra...isn't it weird that you'd meet your opponent before your match?" Saeko asked. "Wouldn't that jinx things?"
"Why, Saeko, it doesn't. Just like Sakura, a veteran who's past her prime, I came to wish YOU luck," Kendra grinned.
"Alright, Daniels, what the hell do you want?" Sakura requested immediately.
"Easy, you large forehead freak. I've heard interesting things about myself and I thought I looked closer to see who was talking," Kendra answered. "And it seems to me that I find to see you two skanks."
"How about you leave now before I make you, Daniels?" Sakura scowled.
"Oh, right. Considering of how much it hurts for a girl like you to hear the truth. Most likely, almost every woman I know here in ACW's Divas/Knockouts Division is a slut. Except for two girls I know who are of actually beauty and class known as Eliza Hart and Allison Wilson; my tag partners from Evil Beauty. Sadly, representing our Women's Champion...nothing more than Téa Gardner, the prostitute of Yugi Mutou; both veterans who's past their prime." The crowd cheers at Yugi and Téa's names mentioned. "Once I'm through with you tonight, 'Psycho,' AND Miss Little Apricot Slut at Reign in Blood, I'll be headlining in ACW as your NEW and TRUE Women's Champion. That way, ALL of the common bimbos I've known in the division can take a look at greatness and see me and Evil Beauty as a perfect example once we take away the Women's Tag Belts as well."
Sakura was clenching her fists and gritting her teeth in anger as she has had enough of the rookie. She looks to shut her up with a punch to the face, but Saeko places her hand on her shoulder to stop her. Saeko then steps in front of Kendra and glares at her.
"...What makes you any different than the rest of us, Kendra Daniels? You aren't exactly perfect yourself. If you were so 'perfect,' why join a rebellious group where your goal is apparently clear of taking out veterans who are 'hogging the spotlight'?" Saeko stated.
Kendra shook her head, "...Saeko...why defend such a useless woman who is WAY past her prime? Why protect her when you know she's just going to drag you down and hog the spotlight? If you and your team were apart of the RR, you would understand."
"You want to know why? The reason I'm defending Sakura is because this woman is the same one who's been teaching me in and out of wrestling since my first day. And as well, H.O.T.U. would never join a selfish group for cheap success. We know we haven't done as much as anyone did, but we will one day. And it starts tonight when I beat you and I head to Reign in Blood to face my friend/idol known as a beautiful and true Women's Champion, Téa Gardner. That's final. Deal with it."
"Hmph. Why am I not surprised? You know what? Fine. The Revolution doesn't need whores like you and your girls. You will all just bring us down."
"I wouldn't give a damn anyway. Since you keeping calling me and the most of the women in the division that, I might as well remind YOU that you're not prefect yourself as I stated earlier."
"What the hell do you mean?" Kendra narrowed her eyes.
"If I can remember correctly, one of your team members from Evil Beauty known as...Eliza Hart. Didn't you, as rumors say...had an affair with her?" Saeko smirked as the crowd goes "Ooh!" Sakura chuckles at the burn and Kendra is livid as her face is red.
"That...was...NONE...OF YOUR...F%KING BUSINESS! THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO AND NO ONE WAS SUPPOSED TO REMEMBER OR KNOW IT! I'VE MOVED ON! SHE'S MOVED ON! I'M ALREADY WITH SOMEONE ELSE AND I'M LIVING A HAPPY LIFE!"
"You sure? Because it sounds like you're not over it yet."
"SHUT UP! You think you're funny, rookie?! DO YOU?! Let's see how funny you are when I shut you up in the ring."
"Okay, but don't go crying to Eliza or even Allison for 'release of stress' when you lose."
Kendra growls, "F%K YOU!"
"Save that for your girls."
Kendra then growled and stomped away in anger from Sakura and Saeko, who had smirks on their faces. Saeko looks to Sakura and nods to her before leaving as the pink-haired teen looked on proudly before turning black for commercial.
(Commercial Break)
Coming back from the break, we see Mike "The Mic" Martin at the interview arena with a microphone in hand.
"Hello, ladies and gentlemen, I'm—"
"We already know who you are, idiot," interrupted Seto Kaiba as fans booed. "Just do your damn job."
"Okay, okay, man. Geez... Now, last week, you predicted you would win against Nathan Drake in the qualifying match to enter the Playground of Blood, from there, you would as well proclaim yourself to win the title known as the King of Blood. Unfortunately...you tapped out," Mike stated, receiving a glare from Kaiba.
"...Say that again...I dare you, Mike..." Kaiba said menacingly. "Go ahead..."
Mike slightly stuttered in fear, "...I-I'm just saying, man. Y-You tapped out to N-Nathan Drake..."
Kaiba continues the glare at the interviewer before speaking nonchalantly, "Yeah...I tapped. I tapped out to Nathan Drake, therefore, ending my chances of entering the Chamber... Yet...it's quite surprising that Nate of all people, a choke-artist in UWE, somehow has his luck changed in ACW. Then again, it's not that surprising at all. I had such an interesting promo said last week of how I proclaim to win the qualifying match and entering the Chamber. But what happens? Same thing that happened to almost every Heel here in this biased company last week...I got BURIED. However...I'm willing to let this go, considering it's not worth complaining about it right now. People believe that I was done from competing in the Playground of Blood...they're wrong. DEAD wrong. I'm not through with his just yet. By next week...you will see why. You will see why I'm the most deserving wrestler to be in that Chamber of Blood. More deserving than anyone else. Just watch..."
And with that, Kaiba walks away from Mike as he looked on. Cameras change to where Carter Young stands outside of a locker room door where he waits for someone to come out.
"Stan!" Carter called through the door. "Come on, man, you can't be in there all day! Our match is up next."
Suddenly, Kendra walks pasts Carter, still angry from what happened early.
"Whoa, whoa, Kendra. What happened? You look angry," Carter asked.
"Of course I'm angry, Carter! Those damn girls, Saeko and Sakura, have made me so pissed, I just... GAH! I just want to kill them!" Kendra shouted. "Saeko...is what I need to deal with first... That affair...it NEVER happened... I've let go and she let go..!"
"Kendra, Kendra...what they say about you, they're gonna regret. Why? It's because you are going to show them what hell you can bring in the ring. Not only for yourself, but for the Revolution as well. Make Saeko Busujima a casualty of the RR. And come Reign in Blood, make Téa Gardner a casualty as well by destroying her and becoming the NEW Women's Champion," Carter stated.
Kendra slightly calms down, "...Yes...you're right. Saeko is going to regret those words...what she said about me...the RR...and especially my past... Think she's the funny one? We'll see how much a comedian she is after tonight..."
"Good..." Carter then looks back to the door and knocks, "Come on, Stan, are ya even ready?"
"Stan's still in there?"
"Yeah. Hell, he hasn't even made a response to me for over a week. Even I can't figure out how to get him to talk."
Kendra sighs, "Dammit... He's so stubborn right now. He's gotta get over it."
"Trust me, he said he got over it. Just not sure if I believe he's telling—"
Carter stops as the door was open and out came Stan Terra wearing a black leather sleeveless jacket with a hood over his head. He apparently looked emotionless for the first time.
"...Ready, Stan?" Carter asked. Stan responds with a slow nod and Carter says, "Alright, let's go. We got a match to win for tonight."
Stan nods again and Alpha & Omega left to head to the ring as Kendra looks on. Camera changes to the TitanTron where Takashi Komuro and Kohta Hirano of H.O.T.U., Ryo Bakura and Marik Ishtar of the Gods of Darkness, and Carter Young and Stan Terra of Alpha & Omega appear, saying "NEXT: Triple Threat Tag Team Match."
"Well...everybody, it's now time for the Triple Threat Tag Match to commence tonight. That's coming up...NEXT!" Zack announced.
(Commercial Break)
Returning from the break, we look to the ring where Maria Lopez makes the announcement.
"The following contest is a Triple Threat Tag Team Match scheduled for one fall, and it is for the #1 Contender's spot for the ACW World Tag Team Championships!"
[Fear something and get up, up, up, up, up, up
Fear something and get up, up, up, up, up, up
Fear something and get up, up, up, up, up, up
Fear something and get up, up, up, up, up, up]
("Fear" by Disturbed)
The arena is showered with thunderous boos as the lights turned phoenix red and Ryo Bakura and Marik Ishtar walk out from the back with dark expressions read on their faces. Both men walked down the ramps and slide under the ropes into the ring. Bakura and Marik then stand on adjacent turnbuckles, with Marik motioning they'll win this match and win the belts and Bakura just looking at all around the crowd with an intense expression.
"Introducing first, from Domino City and Egypt respectfully, at a combined weight of 252 pounds, Ryo Bakura and Marik Ishtar, the Gods of Darkness!"
"A week we've waited for this match to come and now it's about to happen tonight," Zack stated.
"All three tag teams are determined to win this #1 Contender's Spot to the World Tag Titles for an entire week and they won't stop until one of them gets the job done," Kenji stated. "We expect nothing but absolute awesomeness and with how the teams are heated up for this match, we could expect chaos."
[*Woman's scream* Hey, kid! (Hey, kid)
Do I have your attention?
I know the way you've been living
Life's so reckless, tragedy endless
Welcome to the family]
("Welcome to the Family" by Avenged Sevenfold)
The crowd explodes into loud cheers as lights turn into a mixture of grey and red all over the arena, and Takashi Komuro and Kohta Hirano came out to the stage. Komuro looks to the crowd with a smirk and shouts, "WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!" before throwing his fist up and double fist-bumping Kohta on the way down the ramps. Kohta slides in the ring under the ropes as Takashi steps onto the apron, slingshot himself over the ropes, and then gets on the second turnbuckle to look throughout the crowd with the confident smirk before stepping down. Instantly, the smirks turn into scowls as they face Bakura and Marik standing opposite from them.
"Introducing the next opponents, from Tokonosu City, Japan, at a combined weight of 328 pounds, the team of Takashi Komuro and Kohta Hirano, H.O.T.U.: Highschool of the Undead!"
"Ah, yes, the highschool punks known as Komuro and Hirano...LAME! How is it that these losers are even in this match in the first place. If anything it should have been either the Gods or A&O to face Altered Egos at Reign in Blood just like that instead of this," Barney ranted.
"That's the thing, Stinson, you have work for that. And that's what these guys are looking forward to tonight. As well, Joshua requested this match to happen from last week," Kenji stated. "H.O.T.U., the Gods, and A&O are determined to have their first taste of gold. For the Gods, they're more likely to try to get that taste a third time."
"However, people are more forward to either Takashi and Kohta or Stan and Carter to win. So, I'm looking forward to this," Zack said.
("Alpha & Omega" by Stratovarius)
[I am the earth and sky, I am the low and high
I am the snowflake in the winter evening
I am the birth and death, I am your final breath
I am the one that gave you life and freedom
Choosing your own way]
The crowd then began a mixed reaction, but mostly jeers as a mixture of blue and green lights surrounded the arena. Coming out to the stage first was Carter Young to see the crowd before turning to the ring. He then looks back to the entrance as Stan Terra walks out with his head lowered down under the black hood. He stands next to Carter and slowly looks up straight-forward to the ring, still with the emotionless look from earlier. Carter then pats Stan on his shoulder before walking the way down on the ramp to the ring; his partner soon follows. Carter stands on the apron and climbs to the turnbuckle as Stan enters the ring with the steel steps. Carter arrogantly shouts, "All Hail the Revolution! All Hail Alpha & Omega, baby!" He steps down and Stan pulls down his hood, revealing his still stoic expression.
"And their opponents, from Orlando, Florida, at a combined weight of 469 pounds, the team of Carter Young and Stan Terra, Alpha & Omega!"
"The future of Tag Team Wrestling is in the house, baby!" Barney exclaimed. "Carter and Stan, members of the Rookie Revolution, are on a hell of a roll since joining said awesome stable."
"That may be true, I can't argue with that. Although I'm noticing something here. What is up with Stan Terra as of right now?" Kenji questioned. "For over a week, this young man has been kept silent for NO apparent reason. Hell, I tried to speak with the kid this morning and got nothing!"
"Same here, man. I tried to have a conversation with him and he didn't say a word to me. He just kept silent along with that...emotionless expression," Zack said. "Yet, what we know, Carter stated earlier that Stan is going through something that we don't even know."
"I'll be damned that whatever it is that's making Terra so quiet, it costs them this match to face Altered Egos," Barney proclaimed.
All three teams stand in the ring at their respective corners. It was decided that for H.O.T.U. and the Gods start off with Bakura and Takashi. With Alpha & Omega, Carter wanted in, but Stan stops him and motions he wants to start first for his team. Carter asked if he was sure and his partner nodded. Young had no problem and steps out to the apron. The camera, however, switches to the locker room where we see Yugi Mutou and Atem watching the match.
"And there we see the Tag Champs, Altered Egos, looking over the match as it begins," Kenji observed. "They're truly interested to see what happens."
Back in ring, the referee checks the three competitors if they're ready. They signaled they were and the ref called for the match to begin. The bell rings and Takashi glared at Bakura for a few moments before glaring at the stoic Stan, thinking who would he face first. It was simply answered when Takashi steps in front of Bakura. Both men had stared each other down intensely...until Stan steps into the picture as both he and Bakura look take Takashi down themselves. The highschool student wasn't surprised as he scoffed. He turned his back on them for a little while...before going for a surprise right to Ryo! Stan goes for a right hand and Takashi ducks it, followed by a Knife Edge Chop. He lands the chops four more times, inciting "WOOs" from the crowd, before whipping him to the ropes. Stan comes back and goes for a Clothesline, but Takashi traps the arm, and looks to hit a Arm Trap Swinging Neckbreaker. However, Stan manages to get out of it and pushes him away, allowing Bakura to hit the Swift Spirits! After hitting that Spear, Stan and Ryo began a two-on-one assault to the defenseless Takashi as the crowd booed loudly.
"Oh, come on! A two-on-one assault to Takashi!? This isn't a Triple Threat! This is basically a Handicapped Match!" Kenji scowled. "Disgusting! Absolutely disgusting!"
"Call it what you like, Benji. It's just them taking out the worst of the competition," Barney smirked.
Both men continued the assault as the ref scolded them. Ryo was finished as he backed away with a evil grin along with Stan who kept the emotionless look. Takashi uses the ropes to bring himself up and then both Bakura and Terra throw him to the ropes with a Double Irish Whip. Komuro bounces back and manages to duck a Double Clothesline from both men, leaps onto the second ropes, bounces them off, and lands on both Bakura and Stan with a Springboard Moonsault! Takashi then quickly covers Bakura, but he kicks out at one. Komuro brings him up to his feet and begins nailing right hands into the face. As he continued, they were at the ropes and Komuro whips Bakura to the opposite side. Takashi then jumps for a Front Dropkick as Ryo hit the ropes, but the Spirit of Darkness stops himself, causing the highschool student to land on his back on the canvas. With Takashi holding his head in pain, Bakura grabs the legs and hits a hard stomp right on the midsection of his opponent. Then, as Ryo still hangs onto the legs of Komuro, he turns them around to the corner, where Stan stands there waiting for him, and Bakura catapults him, and Stan takes him down with an Elbow Smash. Then Stan tags in Carter and Carter starts angrily talking smack to him, saying "You want to talk s%t about Souichi?! You talk about how he's a 'bitch'?! Learn your place, punk!" before slapping him across the face, receiving boos from the crowd. Bakura only grinned at the sight of this as he stood by. Carter forces Komuro up and sets him for a Suplex. He looks for the maneuver, but Takashi lands on his feet behind him, wraps around his waist, and nails a Bridging German Suplex; 1, 2... Bakura breaks up the pin fall! Ryo then picks Takashi up, but gets a surprising knee to the gut. With Bakura bent over, Takashi runs to the ropes, bounces back, and lands a One-handed Bulldog.
"And it looks like Takashi is taking back the momentum of the match!" Zack stated.
By then, Takashi makes it to his corner and tags in Kohta. The gun otaku runs in the ring and catches a foot from Carter before throwing it down and capturing him into a Belly-to-Belly Suplex. After hitting the Suplex, Kohta rolls to his feet and gets caught in the Inverted Facelock from Ryo. He looks for the Exiled to Hell, but Kohta manages to get out of it, kicks him in the gut, and plants the DDT. He goes for cover; 1, 2... Carter breaks up the 3-count! Young kicks Hirano on the back of the temple before bringing him up to his feet and over his shoulders. Carter goes for the Oklahoma Slam, but Kohta slips out of it and pushes him into the turnbuckle chest-first. Carter staggers back and Kohta rolls him up for the Schoolboy; 1, 2... Young kicks out at 2.78. Both men roll to their feet and Kohta gets taken down from Bakura's Springboard Dropkick from out nowhere! After nailing the Dropkick to Kohta, Bakura tags in Ishtar and the self-proclaimed Gods of Darkness set him up for a Double Suplex. They lift him up and throw him at the ropes with a Front Suplex, making Hirano hit gut-first onto the top rope, and they quickly plant him with a Double Rope-hung DDT! Bakura leaves onto the apron before Marik goes for a cover; 1, 2... Kohta manages to kick out at 2.85. Marik would then land Knee Drop across the face before going for another cover and Kohta just kicks out at two. Ishtar drags Hirano to the center of the ring and stomps onto the midsection before looking to climb to the top. He makes it all the way up as Carter bringing Kohta up and whipping to the corner where Marik was at. With quick thinking, Marik sees this and leaps off top turnbuckle and rolls onto the canvas. Kohta hits the turnbuckle and Carter nails the Turnbuckle Clothesline to the otaku. Marik then walks up to Carter, telling him "What the hell was that?! Are you trying to knock me off the turnbuckle or something?!"
"Uh-oh, I sense some distrust between the two right now already," Kenji proclaimed.
"No, no. Marik, focus, man. Focus on who your REAL opponent is," Barney tried to ease.
Carter is just saying that he didn't see him there and eventually, they got over it and as they turned back to Kohta, he nails a straight right into the face of Marik and a Back Elbow to Carter. Both of them stagger back and Kohta hits Carter first with a Two-Handed Bulldog and The Alpha rolls out of the ring to recover. Kohta then snapped his head to Marik is at the ropes. He sprints at him and Ishtar lifts him over the ropes...and Kohta hangs on to the ropes as he tries climbing his feet back onto the apron. He manages to do so and when Marik saw him, he goes to grab him and Kohta counters with a Shoulder Block through the ropes to Ishtar's abdomen. With Marik bent over, Hirano slingshots himself over the top rope and rolls Marik's shoulders down with the Sunset Flip Pin; 1, 2... Marik gets his shoulders up at 2.8! As Marik starts to stand on his feet, Kohta runs to the ropes, hits them, and gets kicked in the back by Ryo, stopping the momentum the otaku had. This gives Marik the advantage by running to the ropes and making a rebound of his own, but even his momentum gets cut short by Takashi hitting an elbow to the back of the temple. Marik holds his head in pain and now Kohta takes back the momentum with a Swinging Neckbreaker, adding more damage to the head. Kohta stands up and gets taken down with a Diving Double Ax Handle from Carter out of nowhere! Carter then takes Kohta down with a Clothesline. Then follows it with another. Then a third. And finishes it with the Big Boot! Carter forces Kohta up to his feet and holds him in the Canadian Backbreaker Rack, stalls him up for a few moments...and drops him with the Over-the-Shoulder Neckbreaker! Carter sits up and grins arrogantly at the crowd before laying his elbow on Kohta, looking cocky; 1, 2... Takashi breaks up the pin fall! He quickly rolls out of the ring to avoid danger himself. Carter ignores him for a while before setting his eyes back on Hirano, who is nearly on all fours. Young then begins stalking the otaku from behind, now with determination. "Come on... Get up..." is what Carter said off-mic. By then, Kohta gets up to his feet and when he turns to Carter, The Alpha kicks him in the gut and hooks the arms up. He goes for the First Extraction...but lets go as he sees something coming at him...and BAKURA HITS HIM WITH THE SWIFT SPIRITS!
"Bakura— with the Swift Spirits to Carter! It seems the Gods were not to be trusted!" Kenji exclaimed.
"Damn it, man! You couldn't keep the partnership for the entire match!?" Barney yelled.
"It was bound to happen anyway," Zack said. "I'm not that surprised it was this quick."
Ryo stands over Carter as he tells him, "You really think we let YOU win? Not gonna happen, peasant!" Then as he turns back, Stan Terra catches him with a Missile Dropkick! Stan starts hammering away on Ryo, but the Spirit of Darkness rolls away to avoid anything else. As Stan continued glaring at him, Takashi grabs him from behind and throws him over the top rope to the outside, making him land on Bakura! Takashi looks around for any clear room in the ring and runs to the ropes. Bouncing them off, he runs and goes through the ropes with a Suicide Dive onto Ryo and Stan! Back in the ring, Marik stands up to look at the damage at the outside, holding his head. He looks back at Kohta, who was using the ropes to help himself up. The otaku turns to him and gets kicked in the midsection by Marik as he sets him up for the Darkness Falls. He looks for it, but Kohta spins out of it and was holding the arm in a Wrist Lock before pulling him up to his shoulders in the Fireman's Carry. He faces the crowd and hits the Otaku's Gunpoint! (Death Valley Driver)! Kohta covers him and hooks the leg!
1!
2!
CARTER BREAKS THE PIN FALL!
"Oh, thank you, Carter! Thank you!" Barney sighed in relief.
Young then hooks the arms up when he dragged Kohta to his feet. He shouts "Hail, Alpha! Hail, Omega!" and looks for the First Extraction...but Kohta seems to be keeping his feet on the canvas. Hirano unhooks himself from Carter's grip and throws him over with a Back Body Drop. Kohta lays at the ropes as Carter stumbles to his feet. Both men face each other, run into each other, and take themselves out with a collisional Clothesline! The crowd is going insane after what's been going down in the match. As all three men were down, Takashi groggily climbs onto the apron and sees his partner is down. He begins patting the turnbuckle, signaling for a Hot Tag, as his free arm extended out for a tag. Soon, Ryo also shows up, shouting at his partner to tag him in. The same goes with Stan as his stoic expression changed to a determined one with his hand out to tag Carter. All three men began crawling to their tag partners. Kohta was just inches away from tagging out to Takashi as the same goes for Young and Ishtar. As the crowd grows bigger in suspense...and Carter tags in Stan...at the same time with Marik to Ryo...both men run inside and instead of going after each other, they went to Kohta...
...AND HE TAGS IN KOMURO!
"TAKASHI'S IN! TAKASHI'S TAGGED IN!" Zack exclaimed.
The highschool student leaps onto the top ring rope, bounces it off, and nails a Double Springboard Clothesline! Komuro stands up and runs to the ropes with the adrenaline filled in him, bounces off, and hits a Springboard Back Elbow to Bakura. He stands up and ducks a left hand from Stan, both turn to each other, and Takashi hits a Spinning Side Kick to the midsection. Then he makes a shot with a Low Kick to the side of the knee followed by a Middle Kick to the chest. He kicks the knee again then the chest. He continues the kicks once more and finishes it with a Step-up Enzuigiri. Komuro turns to Bakura who was running at him and plants him with a Flapjack! The crowd is exploding in cheers as Komuro shouts with a fist "COME ON!" and 80% of the fans back him up. Takashi stalks Ryo from behind, grabs him in a Waist-lock, and nails a German Suplex. He still holds on to Ryo as he rolls on his hips to his feet with his opponent in tow and makes another German Suplex, with the crowd counting "TWO!" Takashi rolls to his feet again and completes the 3 Alternate Deaths and the crowd counts "THREE!" Takashi suddenly kips up on his feet as he is still filled with the adrenaline and screams to the crowd. He extends his arms out and begins clapping, signaling the Deadswitch, and the crowd joins along. As the claps continued, Ryo starts to get to his feet. With his back turned on Takashi, the H.O.T.U. leader grabs the arms and turns him around for the finisher...but Ryo pushes him off. Takashi stops himself at the corner and hits the running Ryo with a Side Kick. With the advantage, Takashi leaps onto the second turnbuckle, bounces them off for a Corner Springboard Clothesline...AND BAKURA HITS THE DEATH PENALTY!
"OH, YEAH! JUST LIKE CHRISTIAN WITH ORTON HITTING THE RKO, TAKASHI GETS HIT WITH THE DEATH PENALTY!" Barney exclaimed. "THE GODS HAVE THIS!"
Bakura hooks the leg; 1...
...
2...
...
KOMURO GETS THE FOOT ON THE ROPE!
"TAKASHI GETS THE FOOT ON THE ROPE! HE MAKES THE ROPE BREAK!" Zack exclaimed.
The crowd is in unbelievable shock! Even Bakura as he gripped his hair and shouts in frustration. He grabs the referee by the collar and cursed at him to count faster. "CAN'T YOU DO YOUR JOB RIGHT, YOU IMBECILE!?" yelled Ryo as he pushed the referee to the ropes...and the ref pushes back! Bakura's eyes widen in fury with gritted teeth and looks to make a left hand...UNTIL KOMURO GRABS THE ARM, PULLS HIM DOWN ON THE CANVAS AND LOCKS IN THE CRIPPLER CROSSFACE! Both men are in the center of the ring, nowhere to go, as Komuro continues driving the pressure into the neck by pulling it back and Bakura is screaming in agony. Komuro was so determined to win this match as he continued pulling the neck back and shouted, "TAP OUT, YOU SON OF A BITCH!" The referee asks to Ryo if he wants to submit in the match...but Ryo shook his hand violently, saying no! Only a few moments have passed into the match and Takashi still hangs on to the submission hold tightly. Bakura's free hand is shaking violently, just teasing to tap. And just as he was about to...Stan nails a chair-shot to Takashi from behind!
"And Stan with the steel chair to Takashi!" Kenji shouted.
"Remember, this is a TRIPLE THREAT MATCH! There are no disqualifications into this one, therefore, Stan's allowed to make that shot!" Barney exclaimed.
Still with the chair in hand, Stan nails a chair-shot to Marik's gut when he ran at him. Terra looks back and swings the chair across Hirano's skull! Terra then turns to Bakura, who is on all fours. Stan goes to him and raises the chair high above him...and Bakura counters with a Low Blow! Stan drops the chair and he takes a knee, nursing his lower regions from that shot. Ryo then sets The Omega in the Inverted Facelock and hits the Exiled to Hell! The Spirit of Darkness doesn't cover, however...as now measures the rookie from the top after climbing up. But before Ryo could dive off...
...CARTER YOUNG CATCHES HIM WITH A DOUBLE UNDERHOOK SUPLEX OFF THE TOP!
"OH, MY GOD! Where the hell did Carter come from!?" Kenji shouted. "He came from out of nowhere with that unbelievable Suplex!"
"I don't know, but that was so damn awesome! This was a smart move made by this rookie!" Barney exclaimed. "He was able to hide out from this long enough to make a counter for his team! JUST FREAKING SWEET!"
Yet, even Alpha & Omega got the advantage, everyone was down on the mat; no one could stand up. However, as a few moments passed, Takashi is the first to get to his feet groggily and gets kicked in the midsection before locked in the Front Headlock by Stan. Stan looks for the Impaler DDT, but he sees Marik running at him, throws Takashi aside for now, and he kicks Ishtar in the gut as well. He now locks him in the Headlock and goes for the Impaler DDT once more, but Marik spins out of it, kicks Terra in the midsection, and puts him in the Standing Headscissors. He leaps for the Shadow Driver (Flip Piledriver)...BUT STAN USES HIS STRENGTH TO HOLD MARIK UP! Then Stan throws him down with the Double Leg Slam AKA the Alabama Slam! Stan is on his feet and sees Bakura stumbling to his feet. The Omega then runs to the ropes, bounces them off, and rebounds with the Springboard Roundhouse Kick! Terra sees Takashi on all fours and he forces him to his feet, but gets kneed in the gut. Takashi takes the advantage with a Neckbreaker, but Stan was able to push him off to the ropes. Komuro rebounds, ducks a right fist, sets Stan up for the German Suplex, but as Stan was lifted, he stops him self in the Wheelbarrow and rolls Takashi up in the Victory Roll. Shoulders are down; 1, 2... No! Takashi kicks out! Takashi is on all fours as Stan rolls to his feet. Terra runs to the ropes, springboards them off for another Roundhouse Kick...and Takashi dodges the foot, making Terra crash onto the mat! Takashi makes a run for the ropes, bounces off, hits the High Knee, and nails the Pulse Check! Now in complete control of the match, Takashi looks around at the crowd cheering loudly. His sight-seeing stops at the top turnbuckle and an idea popped into his brain. It was crazy, but he thought, "What the hell?" He looks at the downed Stan before making a cutthroat motion and throwing the hand down. The crowd goes into a pop as Komuro climbs to the top. Standing high above the ring, Takashi looks up to the sky, thinking of a certain someone who could be watching. He nods and looks back at Stan, who is lying on his back, still down after that Neckbreaker. Takashi gives a long shout...dives of the top rope...
...
...
...looking for a Diving Headbutt...
...
...
...BUT HE MISSES! STAN MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND TAKASHI CRASHES ONTO THE MAT!
Now with Takashi holding his face in pain, Stan drags him into the Inverted Facelock. Terra holds it for a few moments...and hits the Rolling Cutter!
"Oh, and the Rolling Cutter connects! How devastating was that move!" Barney stated.
"But can Stan win this one? Can he make it for the team?" Zack asked.
Stan hooks Takashi's leg; 1...
...
2...
...
3!
"BOOM! That idiotic rookie's mouth is shut down, baby!" Barney cheered.
("Alpha & Omega" by Stratovarius)
"Here are your winners, Carter Young and Stan Terra, Alpha & Omega!"
Stan still has the leg hooked with an expression mixed with anger and intensity before getting off of Takashi. Terra's stoic expression returns as Carter stands next to him holding his ribs. Carter grabs Stan's arm and raises it in victory. Stan looks at his partner and nods before leaving the ring.
"I gotta tell ya, man...what a match! These three tag teams gave all they got and A&O were the ones to take away the win!" Kenji stated. "Stan Terra was able make this win thanks to the maneuvers he's displayed for the first time."
"I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! I knew these guys were the ones that are to win this match, baby!" Barney exclaimed. "I bet the RR are so proud at them right now. And wait until they see these guys go on to Reign in Blood and defeat Altered Egos to become the World Tag Team Champions. Just you wait!"
"Yeah, we got it, Barney," Zack deadpanned. "Although...it seems a bit odd Stan would those moves. It seems a bit familiar if you ask me."
"Kind of does...but I think think that's what matters as of now. A&O won. H.O.T.U. and the Gods lost...but where does this leave them now?" Kenji asked as Takashi holds his head in pain.
Carter and Stan back up at the ramp, glaring at Takashi, and Carter shouts "We told you we'd beat your ass, Komuro! We told you, kid!" Komuro sighed as he stands on feet. He goes to check on Kohta, but gets hit with the Swift Spirits from Bakura! The crowd boos as the Spirit of Darkness is stomping on to the highschool student and Marik grabs the steel chair that was used earlier by Stan.
"Well, it seems you got your answer, Zack," Barney simply said.
"The hell is their problem, man?!" Zack exclaimed.
"Either of their rivalry...or it's just the Gods blaming Takashi for their loss," Kenji said. "Quite frankly, I'm not f%king surprised."
Ryo tells Marik to get another chair before screaming into Takashi's face of never standing in a god's way and, "You should NEVER f%k with a god! You don't do that! And you're gonna pay with your life, Komuro!" He stands and catches the chair Marik passed to him. Bakura then slams the chair on the mat, wanting Takashi to stand up. Komuro slowly gets on his knees. Unfortunately, he doesn't make it to his feet as Bakura and Ishtar...
...NAIL THE CON-CHAIR-TO TAKASHI'S SKULL!
"OH, MY GOD! WHAT A SICKENING CON-CHAIR-TO!" Kenji shouted. "I THINK THEY'VE CRACKED KOMURO'S SKULL!"
"IF THEY DID, OH, MAN, I WOULD BE IN HEAVEN!" Barney said. "THAT HIGHSCHOOL PUNK JUST LEARNED YOU SHOULD NEVER, EVER F%K WITH A GOD! YOU DON'T F%K WITH THE GODS OF DARKNESS!"
Takashi is completely laid out in the ring, out cold and not able to move. The Gods then grinned evilly at the sight of their work before throwing the chairs down and leaving the ring. Bakura looked to the camera, saying "This...goes to all in the Tag Team Division who messes with a god. This..." he points to the unconscious Takashi in the ring, "...is what happens to you when you f%k with the Gods of Darkness. Let that be a lesson."
"I hate those son of bitches so much... SERIOUSLY! I do!" Kenji exclaimed. "These two absolutely and unnecessary attacked Komuro with that Con-Chair-To! If anything, they could have cracked his skull open!"
"And like I said, if they did, I'd be in heaven. They showed that the Gods are not to be messed with. And Bakura and Marik have shown just that with that punk, Komuro," Barney stated. "He should have learn to mind his own business when he interfered with their match at Spring Breakdown!"
"But the reason they interfered in the first place is because Ryo and Marik screwed Takashi and Kohta out of the #1 contender's spot for the Tag Titles!" Zack stated. "They had every right for payback!"
"Say what you like, Zachery, they displayed why shouldn't screw with a god or in this case, the Gods of Darkness. Don't like it? Deal with it!"
As the self-proclaimed Gods of Darkness stand at the stage, still with the smug looks on their faces, Kohta finally came up to the outside and he stood up, wondering what the hell happened before seeing his Takashi in the middle of the ring out cold. Stunned, he slid in the ring an checked on him, trying to wake him up. Apparently, Komuro slightly moves and Hirano sighs in relief, but glares at Bakura and Ishtar, who were sneering this entire time before heading to the back.
(Commercial Break)
Returning from commercial, we see Rei Miyamoto pacing back and forth in the locker room, looking really worried after she saw Takashi being assaulted by Bakura and Marik. Soon, Saya Takagi come onscreen next to her friend and looked curious to what's going on.
"Rei, Rei, easy, easy. What's going on with you?" Saya asked.
"Saya, didn't you see what just happened to Takashi? Bakura and Marik nearly cracked his skull open!" Rei nearly yelled.
"Okay, just take it easy. Just calm down for a second," Saya told Rei and she does so. "Now, listen, don't worry for Komuro right now. Takashi's getting treated by the EMTs and Ms. Shizuka. Kohta's with him, everything is gonna be fine."
"...Okay...I got it... Sorry...I got so worried after seeing that to Takashi, I thought it could have been something bad."
"Well, it's not that bad. Besides, Komuro's been through worse. I'm sure that like last time at Spring Breakdown, Komuro and Hirano will get back at them," Saya stated as Rei nodded. "Now tonight, Saeko is going to face Kendra for a #1 Contender's spot for the Women's Championship. And like us next week, we'll be getting a shot as well for the Women's Tag Championships."
"As if you will!" scoffed another voice off-screen.
Rei and Saya turn their heads to see Eliza Hart and Allison Wilson as the crowd booed loudly.
"If anyone's going after the Women's Tag Titles, it's going to be us. Evil Beauty is what everybody needs at the new Women's Tag Champs. Not some highschool bimbos or a girl version of Team Hell No," stated Eliza.
"Heh, I'll give you that for confidence. However, it's gonna bite you in the ass once Rei and I beat you," Saya proclaimed. "Don't think we're just highschool girls or whatever you idiots think of us. We're more than that and we're going to prove it to you two next week."
"Yeah, sure. Whatever you say, Takagi. By next week, Evil Beauty will be the ones left standing. But first...our friend Kendra will start off our reign by beating your psychotic friend, Saeko. Then by next week, our reign will continue by beating you two amateurs."
"We'll see..." Rei scowled.
Eliza and Allison leave with smirks as Rei and Saya continued the glares before turning to the TV, looking forward for the match. The cameras then change the inside of the arena where the next match is starting.
[Psycho... Psycho, go, go, go
Psycho... Psycho, here we go]
("Circus for a Psycho" by Skillet)
[You push me until I break
And the anger turns to rage
Why can't you just leave me alone?
Got your finger on the trigger
You think that you're the winner
But you're gonna get kicked off of your throne]
The crowd bursts into loud cheers as the lights turned dark purple around the arena, then Saeko Busujima walks out into the shower of cheers with a smile on her face. Saeko raises a right fist to the crowd before walking her way down the ramps, passing high-fives to the fans along the way, and sliding into the ring. Saeko leaps onto the second turnbuckle and points to the sky with a wink to the fans.
"The following #1 Contendership Diva contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Tokonosu City, Japan, weighing in at 129 pounds, Saeko Busujima!"
"This young woman sure as hell deserves to be in a match like this one. She, like Rei, Saya, and the rest of H.O.T.U., is a pure rookie," Kenji stated. "We've already see Takashi and Kohta in action, and they've impressed us by so much."
"Yeah, only to crash and burn," Barney deadpanned. "I'll say this, I give props to the lady for being hot, but what she said to the most dominate and hottest female was so uncalled for! Unnecessary for this woman to bring up the past!"
"Well, Kendra did call her and most of the women in the division...you-know-what," Zack mused. "I mean, Kendra had it coming with Saeko protecting Sakura and the rest of the women. So entirely, this was Kendra's own fault."
"Like you know everything, Zack."
[From the moment she laid her eyes on me
I knew how dangerous she could be
Lips like a knife that cut through me
She takes advantage 'cause she knows I'm weak
Come on, she says she knows you want to
Come on, come on, but then she owns you
And I hate how somehow I always give in
To those lips that can paralyze
Though I know that she is the devil
She's so beautiful, so evil]
("So Beautiful, So Evil" by Digital Summer)
The crowd now changes into thunderous boos as Kendra Daniels walks out to the stage with a scowl, still angry after what happened in the backstage. With no poses or taunts, Kendra walks her way down to the ring. Walking up the steps and entering the ring through the ropes, Kendra walks up to the nearest corner and steps onto the second turnbuckle with a raised right fist. Lowering her fist, she glares at Saeko while stepping down.
"And her opponent, from the American Republic of Earth, weighing in at 141 pounds, Kendra Daniels!"
"And there's a woman that represents class, beauty, and sexiness! With her stable's theme song, she defines both beauty and evil," Barney called. "Saeko is just a petty, jealous woman who thinks she's all that and a freaking comedian."
"Well, if I can remember, Stinson, you were involved in the situation as well before joining us," Kenji said. "In fact, you recorded the whole—"
"DON'T BRING IT UP, MAN! I rather not get my ass killed like last time!" Barney shouted and Kenji chuckled.
Kendra and Saeko stand at their respective corners, never taking their eyes off each other. The ref checks to see if both women were ready, and rang the bell. Kendra and Saeko circled around each other in the ring for a while before locking up. They hold the battle of strength until Kendra knees Saeko right in the midsection. Kendra puts Saeko in the Front Headlock and lifts her up for a Suplex, but Saeko manages to hold herself down, punches Kendra in the gut, and lifts her over with the Northern Lights Suplex in a quick cover; 1... Kendra gets the shoulder up. By then, Kendra, with unbelievable strength, was able to lift herself up along with Saeko in two. She turns herself around and looks to pin Saeko with the Backslide Pin, but another battle of strength is commenced. After a few moments into the match, Kendra wins this and pins the shoulders down; 1... Saeko kicks out before two. Both women roll to their feet and Saeko catches Kendra with an Arm Drag. Kendra runs again and gets thrown by another Arm Drag. Kendra stands and looks to Clothesline Saeko, but the violet-haired woman traps the arm and puts Kendra in the Inverted Facelock. Luckily for Kendra, the brunette gets out of it and kicks Saeko in the gut before running the ropes. Kendra bounces off and hits the High Knee to Saeko, taking her down. Kendra gets into Saeko's face and shouts, "Feel like laughing, bitch!? Huh?! Do you?! You won't be laughing after I'm through with you!"
"Man, Kendra is livid. You can clearly tell by what she's doing to Saeko," Zack said.
"She deserves this anyway for treating Kendra with such disrespect," Barney implied.
"Again, it was Kendra disrespecting her and most of the division first, asshole," Kenji said.
Kendra then pushes Saeko's face down for the cover; 1, 2... Saeko kicks out at two. Daniels forces the violet rookie to her feet and throws her over with a Snapmare before nailing the Dropkick at the back of the head. Saeko rolls away while holding her head in pain. Kendra grabs Busujima by the hair and pulls her up. The rookie brunette whips her into the corner and Kendra runs at her. Then Saeko counters with a Back Elbow to the face of Kendra. She staggers back after being hit from the elbow and Saeko takes Kendra down with the Step-up Enzuigiri! Saeko looks for the quick cover; 1, 2... Kendra kicks out at 2.45. Saeko brushes her hair back and drags Kendra to her feet before putting her down with a Scoop Slam. Busujima then climbs up to the top and measures from there, eying Kendra like a hawk. As soon as the brunette finally gets to her feet, Saeko dives off the turnbuckle and hits the Violet Finale (Flips 270 degrees off the top rope into a Front Dropkick)! After hitting that magnificent Dropkick, Saeko gets to her feet and stalks the brunette from behind. Daniels makes it to her feet and gets put in the Inverted Facelock. Saeko looks to end it and Daniels grabs Saeko's head before hitting a left knee right into the face, making Busujima release her. Kendra then grabs her in a Side Headlock for the Daniels Driver, but Saeko manages to lift Kendra up, looking for the Back Suplex, but lands a Neckbreaker! As Kendra held her neck from the impact, Saeko turns her over on her back and hooks the leg; 1, 2... Kendra gets the shoulder up at 2.78! Saeko was a bit frustrated as she blew some of her hair off her face before setting Kendra on the second rope and raising her finger in the air, signaling something, inciting some cheers from the crowd. Saeko runs to the ropes, rebounds to Kendra...and hits the Tiger Feint Kick! As Kendra staggers back and is dazing from that kick, Saeko sets herself up from the ropes, bounces off the top...looking for the Somersault Senton...and Kendra counters with an unbelievable Powerbomb!
"Holy crap! A HUGE Powerbomb from out of nowhere!" Zack shouted.
"Ha-ha-ha! Looks like Kendra is representing beauty, brains, AND power!" Barney laughed in amusement. "That was smart on Kendra's part there!"
With Saeko feeling her neck in pain, Kendra grabs Saeko's legs and catapults her to the corner, making Saeko's face smash into the turnbuckle. Saeko staggers and Kendra rolls her up in a Schoolgirl Pin; 1, 2... Saeko kicks out at 2.89! Kendra brushes her hair back in slight frustration. Kendra then makes Saeko bet on all fours and hits a Knee Strike right to the side of the temple. Saeko lies on the mat as Kendra sits her up and puts her in Surfboard with the brunette's knee between Saeko's shoulder blades. Kendra continues driving the shoulder into the spine as Saeko is nearly shouting in pain. The referee asks if the amateur female swordsman wants to give up, but she shakes her head, refusing to give in. Everyone in the arena is backing up Saeko as they chant her name loud and proud. Kendra scowled the crowd before yelling at Saeko, "Give up, dammit! Give up!" and then she pulls back at the arms along with pressuring the knee into the back. After a few moments throughout the match, Saeko starts using her strength to pull her arms out of Kendra's grip in struggle. As she did, Kendra was losing power over her and when Kendra's head was near Saeko, Saeko nails her head back to Kendra's face, making her release the submission. With Kendra staggering, Saeko stands, grabs her by the head in the Three-quarter Facelock, leaps up in the air, and hits the Asai DDT! Saeko covers her; 1, 2...Kendra gets her foot on the rope!
"Damn! Saeko had it right there! She was damn close!" Kenji called.
Saeko was in utter disbelief as well with the crowd roar in shock. Saeko stands on her feet and sizes Kendra up with determination to end this. When Kendra finally gets up, Busujima kicks her in the gut and puts her between her legs. Saeko gets Kendra over her back and holds in the Gory Special. Saeko then grabs Kendra's neck while at the center of the ring and looks to hit Violet Violence (Gory Neckbreaker)...but Kendra somehow gets her neck out of Saeko's grip and rolls Saeko up in a Sunset Flip Pin! 1! 2! ...Saeko reverses the roll; 1, 2... Kendra reverses the pin too! 1, 2... Saeko counters, this time with Bridge; 1, 2...Kendra kicks out at 2.99! Both women roll to their feet and as Kendra looks to hit a Roundhouse...she kicks the referee instead! Kendra couldn't believe she did that accident and neither could Saeko! Daniels then turn into rage and went to Clothesline Saeko, but the violet haired teen captures the arm and has her in the Inverted Facelock. That's when Saeko finishes Kendra with the Sadistic Split (Inverted Leg Drop Bulldog into a split-legged pin)!
"Sadistic Split! Saeko hits the Sadistic Split," Zack exclaimed as Saeko still has the leg on Kendra for the pin, "but the ref is OUT! There's no way Saeko can get that pin fall right now!"
Saeko sees the ref is still out and shakes her head in disbelief. "Just great..." Saeko said off-mic as she got off Kendra and went to wake up the official. Then apparently, the crowd turns into boos at two women ran in the ring and stalked Saeko from behind. Saeko looks back and gets hit with a Double Spinebuster from both Eliza Hart and Allison Wilson of Evil Beauty!
"EVIL BEAUTY! What are those two even doing out here!?" Kenji shouted. "They have NO business here, dammit!"
Both Eliza and Allison continue stomping on the defenseless Saeko and the crowd boos loudly...until it changes to cheers as Rei Miyamoto and Saya Takagi run to the ring to help their fellow stablemate!
"Rei and Saya! The cavalry has arrived!" Zack shouted.
Both H.O.T.U. female members start a brawl against the two members of Evil Beauty in the ring as the crowd cheers for the Knockout chaos. However, Eliza and Allison seem to be taking the momentum of the chaos with their right hands. They have them at the ropes and look to Clothesline them out of the ring, but Rei and Saya throw them over the top rope to the outside! By then, both highschool girls climb up to adjacent turnbuckles, they stand high, and when Eliza and Allison faced the ring, Rei and Saya leap off and lands a simultaneous Diving Crossbody on both women! The crowd is insane as Saeko looks on with a smile. Saeko turns back to Kendra and sizes her up for another finisher. During then, the referee groggily is on all fours as Saeko is still measuring Daniels from behind. The brunette stands bent over and Saeko looks to put her away with the Violet Violence...
...BUT KENDRA ROLLS HER IN A SMALL PACKAGE PIN!
"WHAT THE?! SAEKO'S ROLLED UP! KENDRA'S HOOKED HER RIGHT IN!" Kenji shouted.
1...
...
2...
...
SAEKO POPS OUT OF THE SURPRISE PIN! Both women roll to their feet and Kendra kicks Saeko in the midsection before hitting the ropes...and right into a Superkick from Saeko—NO! She ducks the kick! Saeko turns around and gets hit with the Roundhouse! Saeko stands dazed, and Kendra sets her in the Side Headlock and hits the Daniels Driver, making Saeko flip onto her rear end in a daze before Kendra pins!
"Kendra hits the Daniels Driver! She's got this one here!" Barney exclaimed.
The ref sees the cover; 1, 2, 3!
"And Kendra gets the win!" Kenji called.
("So Beautiful, So Evil" by Digital Summer)
"Here is your winner, Kendra Daniels!"
Kendra gets off of Saeko before getting into Saeko's face and taunting her, "I told you I shut you up, you little bitch. WHO'S laughing now!?" Kendra rolls out of the ring to the ramps as Saeko holds her head in pain. Daniels backs up to the stage with the evil grin on her face along with a raised right fist. "Hail your future Women's Champion! All Hail the Revolution!" Kendra stated proudly as Saeko scowls.
"Hail sexiness and beauty, alright! Kendra leaves tonight as the #1 Contender for the Women's Championship!" Barney stated. "And soon, come Reign in Blood, she will also leave as the TRUE Women's Champion! Not only for herself, but for the Revolution!"
"Well, no doubt that Kendra won this, but now we have the THREE of the ACW RR Branch members going after the ACW World Tag Team Titles and the Women's Title," Zack stated. "From the looks of things, Yugi and Atem of Altered Egos along with Téa could be in trouble."
"And here's another thing, though," Kenji started, "since these three are apart of the Rookie Revolution, there's no doubt in my mind that they'll try to take out the veteran Champs."
Changing to the backstage, we see Rogen Townsend walking down the hall as fans booed in the arena. He soon stops to see Mike running up to him with the mic in hand.
"Rogen...after last week when Sasuke assaulted you from behind with just the Venom and a Punt Kick, do you think that you will be able to beat him tonight in this match?" Mike asked. "Because...not only is this a Singles Match, but it's to determine if Sasuke can enter the championship match with you and Naruto, therefore, making it into a Triple Threat Match for the Undisputed Title at Reign in Blood. So...do you think that you might defeat him?"
Rogen scowls at Mike, just glaring at him from that question.
His silence broke as he answered, "...Watch me tonight... You'll find your answer."
Townsend leaves the intimidated Mike by himself to the gorilla position before we head to commercial.
(Commercial Break)
We come back to see a locker room door, which appears to be Naruto's locker room. The door opens and soon...Sasuke Uchiha comes out of the room, the crowd giving a huge mixed reaction to him. The young Uchiha looks to the door and out came Naruto himself as both ninjas looked at each other with serious expressions.
"...So that's it, huh?" Sasuke asked.
"...We may despise each other...but it doesn't mean we have one goal in common, Sasuke," Naruto bluntly said.
"Fair point...this doesn't change anything between us in the future, however..."
"I already knew that from the beginning."
Sasuke continues the stare-down at Naruto before walking down the hall...and just happens walks into Sakura Haruno, the crowd cheering throughout the arena in reaction. Sasuke and Sakura look to each other for a while until Sasuke turns his attention away and continues walking. Sakura looks on in concern as Naruto stands behind her and place a hand on her shoulder, letting her know things will be fine. She nods to him and turns her attention back to the person she fell in love with from the very beginning. The camera changes to the announce table.
"...Well, that was something interesting," Kenji says in a bit of shock. "What was Sasuke Uchiha of all people doing in Naruto's locker room? And what in the world were they talking about?"
"Not sure if I know myself, bro. It's pretty strange to see the self-proclaimed Predator 'talking' to Naruto himself," Zack states. "Who knows what could they be talking about!?"
"Well, I don't about you guys, but I'm more looking forward to the main event coming up right now," Barney notes. "It's 'The Genocidal Giant' Rogen Townsend vs. 'The Viper' Sasuke Uchiha to determine of the Uchiha Predator can enter the Undisputed Championship at Reign in Blood. If he can do just that, it'll be a Triple Threat Match instead!"
"If not, then it's the last time we'll probably see Sasuke go after that title with Rogen involved and probably an early temporary close for the Naruto/Sasuke rival saga."
(Hail, Genocide! by Gwar)
[They show you no mercy, they just show you a line
Call it a chaos, a curse or a crime
Call it what you will, but I call it genocide
Genocide, genocide, hail, hail
Genocide, genocide
Genocide, genocide, hail, hail
Genocide, genocide]
The crowd bursts into boos as Rogen Townsend rides out to the stage through the curtain on his motorcycle. The Genocidal Giant looks all around the crowd before turning the engines over and rides down the ramps to the ring. Rogen circles around the ring 3 times before making a stop and flipping the kickstand down. Rogen stands from his motorcycle and enters the ring over the ropes. He looks to the crowd and raises both fists in the air, receiving more boos from the crowd. Rogen lowers his arms before taking his South Carolina Stingray hockey jersey off and his sunglasses.
"The following main event is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England, standing at 7 feet tall, weighing in at 301 pounds, Rogen Townsend!"
"The Genocidal Giant stands in the ring, not giving a single damn for the crowd's reaction," Zack stated. "And as he stated last week, he's going to be a 'honest Heel.' Quite frankly, I can't really take that. I mean, I don't think I can take him seriously with this new persona. I just can't."
"Well, it's true he's not that much of a threat, but with how he displayed his destruction from Spring Breakdown, that sure as hell scared me," Barney stated. "All in all, Rogen won't be afraid assault those who interfere or even try to help him. He'll show you why he's genocidal."
("Sin with a Grin" by Shinedown)
[Take a good look at agony
Force fed pass down time release
I'm inspired to find the liar
Black list X on the back of a soulful man
I've got ways you understand
Look left, look right, but I'm behind you]
The crowd bursts into a huge mixed reaction as Sasuke walked out to the stage with the scowl displayed on his face, just glaring right down at Rogen. Sasuke begins his slow walk down the ramps on the way to the ring, looking intimidating at the moment. As he makes it at ringside, he stops as his glare never left the sight of Rogen, showing a hint of vengeance in his eyes. He then turns to his left to the steel steps where he walks up and enters the ring. By the time he reaches the corner he walks forward to, he stands on the second turnbuckle, scanning throughout the mixed crowd before splaying his arms in a Legend Killer-pose.
"And his opponent, weighing in at 125 pounds, Sasuke Uchiha!"
"As you can clearly tell, Sasuke is looking for vengeance tonight against Rogen and is very angry," Barney implied. "And I'll say this, I don't blame him."
"Indeed. Guy's been through so much just get in the same spotlight once more, despite of his disgusting actions," Kenji stated. "He is going to probably do everything he can to win this tonight in order to join Naruto and Rogen for the Undisputed Title."
Sasuke steps down from the turnbuckle and glares back at the Genocidal Giant, returning the same to the Uchiha Predator. Both men stand at their respective corners, the ref checked of both competitors were ready, and rang the bell. With the sound of the ringing bell, Rogen and Sasuke walked up to each other, having the classic stare-down. They back away from each for a moment until they came back into a lock-up. Both in a battle of strength, Rogen easily overpowers Sasuke with a Two-Handed Chokeslam, but Sasuke wraps the legs at the head and counters with the Frankensteiner! Rogen rolls out of the ring and quite a surprise as Sasuke is on all fours, glaring at the Genocidal Giant like a venomous snake. Townsend snarls before sliding in the ring and both stand on their feet. Rogen goes to grab him, but Sasuke slithers behind him and takes him to the canvas with a Double Leg Takedown followed by a prone Front Headlock. Sasuke continues the hold for a few moments before Rogen slowly gets on his knees. With Sasuke standing on his feet, he makes the Knee Strike to the face before clubbing his back, trying to make him stay down. Sasuke continues holding the Headlock until Rogen pushes him off into the corner. Rogen charges and Sasuke dodges the giant, making him hit the turnbuckle chest-first! Sasuke makes a run for the ropes and rebounds with a Dropkick to the left knee. Rogen is down on the knee and Sasuke takes him down with a Snap DDT. Sasuke goes for the quick cover; 1, 2... Rogen gets the shoulder up.
"Sasuke has it— No, Rogen kicks out!" Kenji says. "Uchiha is right now doing what he can to keep the big man down."
"Can he keep it up, however?" Barney asks.
Sasuke stands on his feet before dropping the knee right into the face of Townsend. Sasuke hooks the leg, but Rogen powers out of the cover. Sasuke snarls at Rogen before bringing him up to his feet. Sasuke hits an elbow on the back of the temple before running back to the ropes. Sasuke bounces off and gets lifted up high by Rogen with the Military Press! Rogen continues holding Uchiha up in the Military Press as he walks to the ropes and he drops him from behind...and Sasuke lands on his feet! Rogen grins as he believes he had dropped Sasuke until he turns around right into a Superkick, sending the giant to the outside!
"Holy crap, where did that come from, man!?" Zack exclaimed.
"That was the Superkick I remember Sasuke having as a finisher since WrestleMania XXIV!" Kenji exclaimed.
With the crowd completely surprised, Sasuke's scowl slightly turns into a smirk from taking control of the match as Rogen could not believe this. Townsend stands on his feet, glaring at the Uchiha before getting back into the ring. Rogen and Sasuke circle around the ring again before going to another lock-up. Sasuke then slips behind Rogen and leaps for the Dropkick from behind. Rogen manages to sidestep it and quickly drops the elbow right on to Sasuke. Rogen turns him over for a pin, but Sasuke kicks out at one. Townsend backs up at the ropes, bounces off for a Leg Drop onto Sasuke and hits him. He covers; 1... Sasuke kicks out again. Rogen then began mounts of fists onto Sasuke's face and the ref warns him to get off as he counted, but Rogen immediately backs off and gives Sasuke the chance to recover for now. Sasuke backs up to the corner as he is trying to get himself back into the game. Before he could, Rogen already clashes into him with a HARD Corner Clothesline! Sasuke falls into the corner and Rogen begins the right fists nailing onto him. He continues until bringing him up to his feet and whipping him to the opposite corner. Sasuke hits the corner chest-first before stumbling to the center and right into a HUGE Shoulder Block from the Giant, nearly landing on his neck! Sasuke lies on the apron in pain after that unbelievable Shoulder Block from Townsend. Rogen grabs Sasuke over the ropes by the head and lifts him up his feet, but to get hit with the Hotshot by the Uchiha!
"And Sasuke manages to counter with that Hotshot! He comes back right in with this," Barney said.
As Rogen staggers back from that counter, Sasuke leaps onto the top rope, bounces off, and hits a Springboard Dropkick. After sending that giant down, Uchiha rolls to his feet, bounces off the ropes, and leaps high to drop down the knee right into the face! Rogen sits up in pain, holding his face and Sasuke bounces off the ropes and comes back to hit Rogen with a Running Neck Snap. Sasuke hooks the leg; 1, 2... Rogen kicks out at 2.8! Sasuke, on his knees, says off-mic, "Dammit!" due to the annoyance of this. The Uchiha stands on his feet, stalking him down like a predator before stomping on his left arm. Then he stomps on the left leg...then the right leg...then the right arm and finishes it with a stomp onto the skull of Rogen, completing Avenger's Stomp (Multiple stomps while circling a grounded opponent). Yet, he continues the stomps onto the head viciously until the ref had to get him away. Both had a bit of a bicker before Sasuke walks back to Rogen. He brings him up to his feet before being pushed to the ropes. Uchiha bounces off and Rogen throws him up in the air and Sasuke hits the canvas hard from the Free Fall! Sasuke holds his midsection in pain after that high fall. Townsend slightly grinned at this before he Soccer Kicked him in the stomach. The Genocidal Giant forces Sasuke to his feet and slams him down with a sickening Spinebuster.
"Rogen with that Spinebuster on the mat— damn, that looked brutal," Zack implied. "Not sure if Sasuke might keep up."
"I have the feeling that Rogen is just toying with him right now," Barney proclaimed.
Rogen stands on his knees, sneering at the downed Sasuke and grabs him by the throat, looking to lift him up for a Chokeslam...but Sasuke changes it into the Hell's Gate, shades of the Undertaker! The crowd goes crazy as Sasuke is able to lock the submission hold to Townsend. The Genocidal Giant is doing whatever he can to get out, but Sasuke was too stubborn to get up. Moments have passed throughout the match before Rogen gets to his feet and lifts Sasuke up to his shoulders. Sasuke starts landing right fists onto Rogen's temple, but the giant already sets Sasuke up for a Powerbomb. He elevates him high, looking for the Genocide...but Sasuke slips out of there! He turns him around and looks for the Venom...but even that fails as Rogen pushed him over the top ropes! Sasuke lands hard on the floor, feeling every ounce of pain and agony into his back with screams. Rogen steps out of the ring to the outside to bring Sasuke to his feet, then he lifts him up in Military Press before dropping him on the barricade. Rogen grabs Sasuke by the head and pulls him back over to the floor. Then, he brings him up to his feet to throw him back into the ring. Townsend slides in and sizes the Uchiha once more. This time...he starts winding the arm, signaling for the World Coming Down.
"Oh, my God. Rogen is setting up the arm—WCD!" Kenji said.
"If this guy hits said move to Sasuke, it's all over for the kid!" Barney proclaimed. "It'll be all over, and he might not have another chance at the Undisputed Title for a long while!"
Rogen is just begging for Sasuke to get up as he has the sick grin, wanting to Clothesline him to hell. Sasuke soon stands on all fours then slowly on his feet, unknowing Rogen is behind him. Rogen bounces off the ropes...
...
...
...Sasuke turns around...
...
...
...
...
...
...AND HE DUCKS THE WORLD COMING DOWN! Rogen turns around into a Superkick from Sasuke— HE CATCHES THE FOOT! Rogen throws the foot aside...and gets taken down with a Dragon Kick! Rogen lies on the apron after that hard kick to the head. As he gets up, Sasuke then grabs him by the head and drags him onto the second ring rope, making him hang there by his legs. With the strength he was able to carry Rogen with, he immediately hits the Viper's DDT (Rope-hung DDT)! Sasuke gets to his feet and shouts in the air, getting about over half of the crowd are behind him. With Sasuke snarling like a snake...he drops on all fours and starts stomping on the mat à la Randy Orton, stalking him for the Venom. Rogen later stands on his feet, Sasuke sizes him up and goes for the Venom...
...
...but is pushed off again! Sasuke turns back and gets nailed with the Big Boot! Townsend grabs Sasuke by the head and puts him in the Standing Headscissors. As he looks for the Genocide, he turns his attention to the announce table and grinned.
"Uh, why is he looking us?" Zack asked.
"I don't think he's looking at us, Zack. He's looking at our announce table!" Kenji proclaimed.
Rogen lifts Sasuke up the shoulders, then he turns his direction to where the announce table is, elevates Sasuke while running towards it...looking to Genocide him to the outside...
...
...AND SASUKE SLIPS OFF! Then Rogen turns around...
...
...
...RIGHT INTO THE VENOM!
"THE VENOM! SASUKE HITS THE VENOM TO ROGEN! HE HAS THIS RIGHT HERE!" Kenji shouted.
"In the words of the Saiyan Prince Vegeta..." Barney started.
Sasuke hooks the leg!
1...(GAME!)
2...(SET!)
3!
"AND MATCH!"
("Sin with a Grin" by Shinedown)
"Here is your winner, Sasuke Uchiha!"
Sasuke sits up with his facial expression looking motionless, yet viciousness. He then looks to the crowd and gives a snake-like grin. The young Uchiha stands on his feet and slowly raises his arms up à la Legend Killer, with the grin never leaving. Rogen stands outside the ring, holding his head from the Venom and glaring at the raven-haired Uchiha. Sasuke holds the pose before lowering it to see Naruto Uzumaki standing at the stage with the Undisputed Championship wrapped around his waist. Sasuke leans at the ropes, staring at Naruto with intensity. The Champ unstraps the belt and holds it by middle strap. He then motions to Rogen...then to Sasuke...then to himself for the main title of ACW. Naruto then says, "As John Cena once said...'if you want some...come get some.'"
"It's official, ladies and gentlemen...Sasuke Uchiha will be joining Naruto and Rogen for the ACW Undisputed Championship," Kenji proclaimed.
"And as well, the Naruto/Sasuke rival saga will continue with Rogen Townsend as the special guest into this one," Barney stated. "Only thing is, come Reign in Blood, WHO will come out the winner? Will it be Naruto overcoming the odds again?"
"Or Rogen achieving his goal by bring the Genocide to the match?" Zack added.
"Or...will it be the Predator that wins his first ACW gold? One of those questions will be answered at Reign in Blood. So for now...good night, everybody. This is Kenji Matsuo, Zack Carver, and Barney Stinson signing off. We'll see you on next week's episode...of Awesome Championship Wrestling."
The show ends with Rogen glaring at Sasuke before to Naruto, Naruto hold the Undisputed Belt by both straps above him, and Sasuke splaying his arms à la Legend Killer once more...
