ACW Friday Night Ignition: July 26th, Week 4 (Showcap Edition)

TV-14

(As "Ignition" by TobyMac starts, a spotlight shines into the camera as it scans around the spots of an Eye of Anubis, a baseball bat with some blood stains on it, a crown belonging to a legendary Geatish warrior, a Poké Ball, two Duel Monster cards featuring Dark Magician and Blue Eyes White Dragon, a Wumpa Fruit, the Rookie Revolution logo, a reflection of a Sharingan eye, and a Leaf Village headband being zoomed in...before a swirling effect happens for the chorus to hit.)

Turn on, turn on the ignition, everybody!

(Atem hits the Pharaoh's Endgame to Marik Ishtar; then Yugi Mutou letting out a Hardy Boyz-esque shout before landing the Duel Dive on Carter Young; then both Yugi and Atem standing together as Altered Egos, Yugi pointing at the camera with Jeff Hardy's signature hand gestures and Atem is motioning with his hand in a "bring it" gesture with a dark grin.)

Come on, come on and turn on the ignition!

(Takashi Komuro locking in the Crippler Crossface to Yami Bakura; Kohta Hirano nailing a Otaku's Gunpoint; Rei Miyamoto going for a Brain Dead to Eliza Hart; Saeko Busujima hitting the Violet Violence to Sakura Haruno; Saya Takagi having Allison Wilson in the Takagi Special; all of HotD standing side by side with Takashi upfront and a baseball bat in his hand.)

Turn on, turn on the ignition, everybody!

(Zeke Cage poses Miz-style looking at the camera with a cocky grin; The Gods of Darkness smashes Takashi Komuro's head with the Con-chair-to; Téa Gardner hits the Apricot Dominance to Kendra Daniels at Southern Hell and Reign in Blood respectively.)

Come on, come on and turn on the ignition!

(Beowulf breathes out smoke like a dragon from his entrance as he slowly lifts his head up with a glare; one side shows Seto Kaiba grinning with arms over his chest as the camera circles around him and the other shows him nailing the White Dragon Plunge to Ash Ketchum; Kurt Hudson accompanied by Alyssa Parker and Hattori Hanzo before showing him display arrogance by rubbing his fingers together in symbolism of money.)

Turn on, turn on the ignition, everybody!

(New Devastation attacks Alex Loredo with their ND Express; The Four Horsewomen stand together in the ring as they hold the four finger gesture; Ichigo Kurosaki poses at the stage with rock horn hands with Jason Krueger glaring at the crowd before two sides show the former Spearing the latter and vice versa, but through a barricade.)

Come on, come on and turn on the ignition!

(Dante and Vergil stand in the ring as they stare face to face with foreheads touching; Smosh appears at the stage and then performs a crotch chop; Crash Bandicoot performs a twister, then has him pulling off a Crash Landing on all his Playground of Blood opponents; The Wolves raise their belts together with their fists connected.)

Turn on, turn on the ignition, everybody!

("The Black Mamba" Jeremy Ellis makes his debut entrance as he slides in the ring; Alpha & Omega and Kendra Daniels standing tall in the ring (at a house show) as the ACW RR District; "The Bully" James Griffin hits Ryan with a steel chair shot to the skull countering his Suicide Dive.)

Come on, come on and turn on the IGNITION!

(The Pyramid of Doom performs in the Playground of Blood with a shocked crowd; Rogen Townsend Genocides Naruto Uzumaki through the announce table; Sasuke Uchiha hits the Punt Kick to various wrestlers; Naruto performs the NW—Ninja's Way to Sasuke, then has him instantly raising his ACW Undisputed Championship belt overhead before the logo of Ignition bursts in with impact.)

Uh-oh, uh-oh...

Uh-oh, uh-oh...


After the intro, "Ignition" by TobyMac starts over at the kick of the first verse at full blast and fireworks in the color of white shoot at the TitanTron, then silver 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 an all-white and silver 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: "PewDiePie Shall Defy The Man!" while another said, "DAMMIT, FELIX!"; "The Extreme Warrior Returns!"; "'Plan A' is a Skunkbag"; "Kyuubi vs. Sabretooth: Who Shall Win?!"; and "There Can Be Only One International Champ" as they chanted, "AC-DUB! AC-DUB! AC-DUB!"

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ACW IGNITION IV IS ON THE AIR!" Markiplier exclaims. "We are LIVE from the PNC Arena to a sold-out crowd in Raleigh, the capital of North Carolina, filled with the capacity of over 16,500 audience members filled with adrenaline and excited for what's to come tonight!"

"These fans are not only excited for what will be an awesome—no pun intended—episode of Friday Night Ignition, but like us, they're looking forward to see what we are just two days away from our fourth ACW pay-per-view that is Rebellion, Mark!" Kenji proclaims.

"Damn right, my man from Japan! HELLO, EVERYBODY! My name is Markiplier and welcome to the go-home show that is the fourth episode of Friday Night Ignition!" Markiplier introduces.

"Alongside with him is 'The Truthfully and Brutally Honest Man from the Land of the Rising Sun' Kenji Matsuo!" Kenji grins, arms folded over his chest.

"I'm this guy's half-brother, 'That Guy' Zack F'n Carver, mother-cracker!" Zack inserts himself with a toothy grin.

"And last, but never ever the least, your Legen—wait for it—DARY! Legendary Commentator of ACW!" Barney adds. "You fans wanna know why this episode will be awesome? Not only because with my commentary beating everyone else's here at this table, obviously, but with all these matches we've got lined up for your entertainment, baby!"

"We only have one final Battle Royale qualification match left and it features Felix Kjellberg aka PewDiePie of YouTube fame! This Swedish Sensation of YouTube requested his Bro Army to help him enter the tournament and thanks to them, PewDie has a chance to be part of the Battle Royale if he wins this and I surely hope he does! He deserves it!" Zack proclaims.

"Oh, how much of a headache you give me for the whole week when you celebrated about Felix entering the tourney..." Kenji groans. "Stipulation for him is if he loses tonight in either his qualification match or the Battle Royale, he'll have no choice but to return to his job as a backstage interviewer."

"I've been praying to the Big Bro in the Sky to make it happen; heaven forbid a total garbage can like PewDiePie to even join the Battle Royale," Barney states. "Anyways, following that, we got Kurt's own mercenary, Hattori Hanzo, getting his third in-ring match against Spin the Hedgehog with Beowulf at ringside! Rumors said that Kurt has an interesting stipulation for his match against Beowulf at Rebellion; if Spin wins tonight, Hudson will forget the stipulation, but if Hattori wins, Hudson has the right to name that stipulation he has in mind... I wonder, oh, how I wonder what it will be."

"Knowing Hudson, obviously something have to do with the King of Blood crown since he's been whining about it these past three weeks. Up next from that match, Seto Kaiba squares off with the returning Alex Loredo in a singles match. This was pretty much requested by Kaiba himself as he wants to use Loredo for...'toning his skills'... God, how egotistical can he get?" Kenji asks while pinching his forehead.

"Seto has the right to be like that and the right to use Loredo for what he's got at: LOSING. Guy's been irrelevant since Southern Hell, anyway. Not like he MEANS anything to this industry," Barney shrugs. "Besides, with all the time he's kept himself busy to make Ash miserable, he deserves a match after fully recovering from the Playground of Blood."

"Excuses, excuses..." Markiplier mutters before announcing. "After that, we have Mai Valentine and Sakura Haruno facing off again for the second time since Mai's debut, but with 'Plan A' Aelita Schaeffer at her fellow Horsewoman's ringside. Ooh, that'll be one awkward moment between former tag partners that was 'Pretty Pink.' Then, we head into tag team business, but featuring 'The King of Games' Yugi Mutou, 'The Omega' Stan Terra, and 'The Red Death' Carnage with their respective tag partners at ringside in a Triple Threat Match!"

"This is an apparent preview of what's to come at Rebellion when these three tag teams face each other for Altered Egos' World Tag Team Championships. It will not be for the faint of heart since The Symbiotes are involved," Zack muses. "If you've seen the Champion vs. Champion Match between Dante and James Griffin, folks, then I hope you're ready for another one because we have Naruto Uzumaki and Jason Krueger facing each other for the first time in ACW! It is Undisputed Champion versus Hardcore Champion! The Orange Spark versus The Gore Machine!"

"Both these champs going to be facing their respective challengers come Rebellion this Sunday and this is their time to prepare before so. And finally, our main event to come tonight, it is the semifinal round for the ACW International Championship Tourney! The Battle Royale!" Kenji announces.

"Our first Battle Royale to be more precise, Benji! This is a 15-Man Battle Royale aka a mini Royal Rumble Match to determine the fourth man in the Fatal 4-Way Match at Rebellion when the winner faces Dante, the U.S. Champion, James Griffin, the Intercontinental Champion, and Luke Smith, the Television Champion, for those very championships!" Barney summarizes. "Not only will the winner of the match, well, WIN all those titles, they will be unified as the victor stands as the FIRST-EVER ACW International Champion of the World. Why fifteen? Because due to the recent news, Joshua has added a fifteen contestant into this Battle Royale to make it more special and add a little spice to it as we don't know who it is yet!"

"Who will walk out the winner of our tourney tonight? Who is the fifteen contestant? Who will be the fourth man to enter the Fatal 4-Way Match at Rebellion?! We're going to find out when the time comes as it is TIME to Ignite the Night!" Markiplier grins.


The second Mark ordered for the action to start, a familiar chuckle was made from the loudspeakers before tuning into a deeper voice...then a familiar YouTuber intro sounds off with "My name is PewDiePie!" echoing as "His Name is PewDiePie" by Roomie starts playing for Felix "PewDiePie" Kjellberg, who appears at the stage in his wrestling attire to a huge ovation by his fans in the PNC Arena! PewDie passes to his fans with a Bro Fist as he walks to the ring and enters inside. After making his entrance and proclaiming he'll win and end this whole tourney with a Bro Fist, he awaits for his opponent in the ring while fans are chanting PewDiePie's name loud and proud...

...before that positive reception turned mixed with loud boos as "Domination" by Evan Jones played for The Blake Bros. 2.0 to make their entrance in their 1965 Impala with hydraulics. Tony and Adrian Blake step out of their vehicle with "A" keeping his stoic expression while Hot Flash was grinning arrogantly as usual before holding up a mic as he begins to speak, "Yo, Pewds...how's it going, 'brah'? Ya nervous standing in an ACW ring for the first time? That's okay; it'll go away when you're demolished for tonight. Especially when you're facing someone like the dominant and menacing 'Silent, But Deadly' Adrian T. Blake, baby! Now before we can begin the squash match...I'm telling ya right now, Felix, brah...you don't belong in the ring, man. The Bossman had the right idea to put you backstage with a cute little microphone in your hand considering you belong there instead. But, NOPE. You wanna relive your days as a wrestler and bitch to the boss like a beyatch. I look forward to 'A' beating your skinny ass down and breaking your spirit as you go back to what you're destined to be: an interviewer. Yeah, you do your wrestling sh*t down in FWE, but in here, you as a wrestling means NOTHING and Alvarez knows that." Tony grins, entering the ring with his brother while PewDiePie was scowling. "So, we'll be helping him out by taking YOU out of the tourney. So, without further ado, sexy ladies and ugly gents, allow me to introduce to you all...the man to break an overrated YouTuber...the man to eliminate fourteen other suckas in the Battle Royale...the man to DESTROY the so-called champs at Rebellion...the future ACW International Champion of the World...he happens to be from the Capital of the U.S. of A, Washington D.C., weighing at 289 pounds of pure POWER...'A' Adrian Blake!" Tony leaves the ring with a sneer as Adrian cracks his knuckles, glaring at PewDiePie, who gets in a wrestling stance. Boy, was he gonna have trouble with him...

ACW International Championship Tourney Quarterfinals – PewDiePie vs. Adrian Blake (w/Tony Blake)

And trouble it was for Felix as Adrian was just tossing him around the ring like a rag doll at the start of the match. He did manage to get a couple of hits in, but Adrian proved himself too powerful against the YouTuber; despite that, PewDie wasn't giving up on his goal. As Adrian was beating down on his head with his fists and tossing him over with a Hip Toss, Pewds tries to recover in the corner before getting pulled away and land hard on his abdomen. Felix gets picked up by Adrian with his hands at his throat and slammed back down from the Two-handed Chokeslam.

Tony from ringside motions to Adrian to end him with a little suffering and Adrian picks Felix on his shoulders for Ghetto Pain (Torture Rack), pulling down on his body to torture his spine...and he hasn't tapped out, surprisingly and much to the Blake Bros' displease. Tony gestures to "drop" PewDiePie as Adrian flips him in a Fireman's Carry and spins him out for a modified Blake Drop...COUNTERED INTO A TORNADO DDT! PewDiePie was now on top of this match for the first time!

He gestures Adrian to come at him and after ducking the Clothesline, he nails a quick Side Kick to the gut followed by an Asai DDT. Blake yanks the Swedish YouTuber into a corner with a Hammer Throw and Pewds leaps off it with a Springboard Back Elbow, connecting it to his opponent. Soon, Adrian nails down a few brutal Forearm Clubs to the back to bring PewDiePie down, but with a shove, he becomes fired up and starts raining lefts and rights to a blocking Adrian as if this turned into a boxing match! Then, Adrian manages to see an opening and nails Pewds with a vicious right hook! A barely visible sneer cracks on Adrian's lips as he drops down to hook the leg...and Pewds kicks out at two!

After a Standing Side Slam out of anger, the Silent But Deadly Blake drags Kjellberg to a corner and puts him in the Tree of Woe, then backs away as he revs himself for the kill. He then charges Pewds, who was still stuck in no man's land...or so we thought as he lifts himself up and moves himself to the apron as Adrian fails to stop and crashes against the corner! PewDie seizes his opportunity with a Forearm Smash and a Springboard Leg Lariat! Now it was Pewds' turn to put Adrian in no man's land as he placed him in the Tree of Woe and ascends the top rope. As he reached the skies, he lets out a shout, "IT'S A-ME, MARIO, BITCHES!" and hops off with Diving Double Foot Stomp to the chest! "MARIO AIN'T GOT SH*T ON ME, BITCH!" Pewds yells as he smacks his chest.

It was now coming down to the two being on even levels as Adrian countered Felix's Springboard Crossbody into a Falling Powerslam, the Bro Army Leader performing a Float-over DDT, "A" nailing a Canadian Backbreaker Drop followed by an Inverted Front Powerslam, PewDiePie actually lifting the two-hundred and eighty-nine pound man from a Full Nelson and twisted into a Double Knee Gutbuster, hitting the Nailed It! (Full Nelson lifted and twisted into a Double Knee Gutbuster), a Diving Axe Handle countered by Adrian's Blake Drop...

...in which Pewds gets the rope break, frustrating the Blake Bros!

Hot Flash scolds to the Swedish YouTuber to just give it up as he rises up to one knee...and mutters, "F*ck you, asshole," while flipping him off! A wild reaction came from the stubborn Felix as Tony motions to Adrian to finish him off. Adrian nods and picks him up for another Ghetto Pain, but is countered from an Arm Drag and Pewds follows it up with a Front Dropkick, knocking the big man into a corner! Seeing Adrian is recovering, Felix gains an evil grin as he backs up to the opposite corner, readying for a maneuver...and shouts, "NOTICE ME, SENPAI!" before speeding straight at the cornered Adrian and executes...Notice Me Senpai (Bronco Buster), completely humiliating Adrian with his groin bouncing off and on him! Fans were now laughing their asses off to Felix bouncing on and off with his eyes rolled back as Tony was disgusted and even Markiplier commented while trying to restrain his laughter, "Oh, God, no! Why, Pewds, why?! That's just not right, man!"

"Why are you laughing, Mark?! This isn't funny at all, damn it!" Barney snaps.

As Adrian was wiping off the Bronco Buster from his face in disgust, Pewds was beating on his chest to the crowd's cheers while exclaiming to the camera, "You notice me now, Senpai?! I just made that guy feel my d*ck!" What he had no idea, though, was an enraged Adrian stalking him from behind as he winds his arm. Felix then turns around to an incoming Clothesline and nearly gets his head decapitated from the brutal assault! Infuriated by the comedic maneuver, Adrian was back to dominating Pewds and showing no mercy with countless powerful Clotheslines, a Leg Drop to Pewds on the apron, an Backbreaker Rack dropped into a Single Knee Backbreaker, a Pumphandle Slam, a Military Press Drop into a Gutbuster, and catching Pewds in a Bear Hug that seemed to be end of the YouTuber as he struggled to break free. Despite his spine being in pain, Felix was showing great resistance to the Bear Hug as he was hammering his elbow against the back of Adrian's head. Soon, he finally managed to break off the Bear Hug with a Bell Clap and knocks him off his feet with a Legsweep! After a Double Foot Stomp, Pewds bounces off the ropes with a roll and performs a Rolling Thunder, or as he likes to call it, his Ridin' Dirty.

"The Silent But Deadly" Adrian Blake tried to take back momentum for his side, but at one mistake, PewDiePie took advantage with a Spin-out Powerbomb and stands over him in a...very interesting position in the ring some of his fans begged for it. Felix ponders...for a quick second and shrugs, "Why the hell not? Anything for mah Bros!" and raises his right hand up. Bending over, he moves his hand left and right while taunting, "You Can't See Me, Brah!" heads to the ropes, bounces off, comes back to Adrian, shimmies while dusting off his shoulder and lands the Bro Knuckle Shuffle (Five Knuckle Shuffle)! Lining Adrian to his feet, Felix now backs into a corner with a grin and lets out a...Roman Reigns esque shout with his tongue sticking out, "BROOOOOOO POWAAAAAAAH!" and cocks his fist before pounding it into the mat with his signature Pewds face. Adrian makes it to his feet and Felix makes a run for it...

...

...shouts "BRO FIST!" as he leaps towards him for the Bro Fist (Leaping Right-handed Knockout Hook...aka Superman Punch)...

...

...AND ADRIAN CATCHES HIM! He lifts him with the Blake Drop...

...

...

...

...and Pewds counters with a Crucifix Pin: 1...

2...

...

...2.93 Adrian barely kicks out! Felix rolls to his feet and backs up to the ropes for another Bro Fist—Tony pulls down the middle rope to make the YouTuber crash to the outside!

Referee Andrew Styles takes notice and scolds Tony for his interruption while Hot Flash was defending himself that Felix "slipped" through the ropes. However, Andrew didn't believe him at all as he knows what he just saw and since he couldn't trust him, he exiles him from ringside! Most fans in the arena cheered as Tony found it "bullsh*t" when he "didn't do nothing wrong" and had an argument with Styles...and as the official's back was turned...

...

...Phil Hardy and Colt Anderson slide in the ring and the former stalks Adrian from behind while the latter ascends the top rope, the Second City Saints readying for payback!

"Hey, hey, hey! Look! The Saints! The Saints are back!" Zack shouts.

"We can see that, dumbass!" Barney growls. "What business do they even have here?!"

"From what we can tell, these two are NOT through with the Blake Bros—not by a long shot!" Markiplier states.

Tony sees the Saints and warns Adrian and the referee about them in the ring before Adrian turned around into a Standing Shiranui by Phil and a Five-Star Frog Splash executed by Colt, both Saints nailing the 5 Stars of Meltzer Splash (Simultaneous Shiranui (Phil) / Five-Star Frog Splash (Colt) combination)! The Saints quickly make their escape as Tony had failed to save his brother while being forced to leave and shouts, "You can hear me, but you can't hear what's going on behind you, man?!"

Felix eventually rolled back in the ring and sees Adrian is down. He may not have a clue as to why, but he's gonna take this opportunity with himself backing up in a corner and measures him on his feet. Adrian brings himself up while still feeling the effects of the 5 Stars of Meltzer Splash and lifts his head up to a Bro Fist, courtesy of PewDiePie! The big man falls flat on his back as Pewds hooks the leg tightly: 1...2...

...3! PewDiePie enters the Battle Royale!

[His name is PewDiePie!

(PewDiePie...!)

A You, You, YouTube gamer!

PewDiePie!

(PewDiePie...!)

A fearless entertainer!]

"AAH! He did it! Felix won! He's going into the Battle Royale!" Markiplier exclaims, happiness being noted within his voice.

"I don't freaking believe it...! This is a fluke. This has to be a fluke. This has to be nothing but a nightmare!" Barney says in absolute disbelief. "Big Bro in heaven, why have you forsaken my prayers?!"

"His Name is PewDiePie" sounds off to Felix's victory as the Bro Army Leader has his hand raised by Styles and after hearing Maria's announcement, he realizes he has actually won his first ACW match! He hops to his feet and raises his arms in celebration as his "Bros" were cheering loudly for the YouTuber. "MY NAME IS PEWDIEPIE AND I'M GOING INTO THE BATTLE ROYALE, MOTHERF*CKERS!" PewDiePie yells before beating his chest and exits the ring to pass high-fives and bro fists them while Adrian and Tony...well, they were pissed. The Saints had screwed them over this tourney and they now have a new topic in mind: making sure Phil and Colt never interfere with their business again.

Meanwhile with the commentary team, Kenji states while Felix is celebrating, he still has the Battle Royale and fourteen men to go through if he wants to join the Fatal 4-Way Match. Barney, however, retorts that he can celebrates all he likes because that's the feeling he'll be close to as of winning once he gets eliminated from the main event, saying his win was a fluke and it'll be proven when the match arrives. PewDiePie was last seen giving a Bro Fist to a baby before leaving to the backstage.

[Commercial Break]


Promo Segment – The Elder Son of Sparda Vows for Victory

In a hallway, there are countless pictures of various real life wrestlers and fictional characters who have won a secondary championship in the past and currently such as Ric Flair, Goku, Pat Patterson, Bugs Bunny, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Chyna, Ash Ketchum, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Daffy Duck, The Rock, Bret Hart, Asui Hikaru, Naruto Uzumaki, Chris Jericho, Blue Oak, Sonic the Hedgehog, CM Punk, Raimundo Pedrosa, John Cena, Slade, Randy Orton, Tai Kamiya, Slender Man, Daniel Bryan, Eddie Guerrero, Jesse Alvarez, Jeff Hardy, Jason Krueger, Jeremy Ellis, Ben Tennyson, Rob Van Dam, Edge, Kevin Owens, James Griffin, Dante, and many more. Footsteps were heard off-screen as the camera slowly pans out to reveal Vergil, The Dark Slayer looking at the pictures as he walks by them.

"These champions...former and current...when these men and women won secondary titles such as Intercontinental, United States, Galaxy, Global, World Television, and so on...fate decides either they live up to become legends...or forgotten. And there have been many throughout the entire Fiction Wrestling Multiverse," Vergil says, turning to the camera. "Like the rest in this tournament, I'm fighting my way to the finals inside the Battle Royale tonight if I want to be part of the Fatal 4-Way Match this Sunday... By the end of it all, the winner walks out as the inaugural ACW International Champion of the World...but...all of this...this tourney, the opponents...nothing but barriers for me to go through... My real desire...is to defeat Dante once and for all. That's all that matters to me because the International Championship is nothing but a strap for me to win... Nonetheless, I aim to win...and I vow to defeat Dante at the same time. If Griffin or Smith get in my way, I will not hesitate to destroy them just like I will not hesitate to annihilate every competitor in that ring for tonight's Battle Royale. As they fall, I will stand alone in the ring as the victor... I will do what it takes to get what I want...or die trying.

Vergil takes this moment to breathe through his nose with his eyes closed before exhaling deeply. "On the first episode of RAMPAGE...I sought to make my goal a reality, but failed due to being prideful about my honor... This is going to be different...because in the Battle Royale and the Fatal 4-Way...there are absolutely no rules to restrain me from doing what I please. Honor...is OUT the window for tonight and Rebellion. This main event...will be a start...and as I head to Rebellion and defeat the one who calls himself 'The Crimson Showstopper'...it'll be a steppingstone for the first time in a long time in my entire career. I...will not...FAIL..."

With that dark tone in his voice, the scowling Vergil glares into the camera before departing from the area as the camera slowly zooms on the pictures, specifically Dante.


Interview Segment – PewDiePie w/Simon "Cookie" Nelson-Cook

PewDiePie is seen walking backstage wiping off some sweat from his forehead and having a huge smile still plastered on his face, feeling real good about his recent win against Adrian Blake. Before he can go into his locker room, Simon "Cookie" Nelson-Cook stops him with a microphone in.

"Hey, Felix! I wanna say first, congratulations on your win tonight. Second, how does it feel to be in the ACW ring and since you're now in the Battle Royale tonight, do you think you may be at a disadvantage after going through Adrian Blake?" Cookie asks.

"Cookie, Bro, it feels like a dream come true. I know I've been wrestling since FWE, but with the hiatus before and wrestling in this company, it feels like I'm new again. And honestly I like to think I'm not at any disadvantage, Bro. Whatever those guys in the Battle Royale can throw at me, I'll be ready to throw back with a Bro Fist," PewDiePie proclaims, creating a fist with his right hand. "I made my promise by passing my first test with a Bro Fist...next one will be the same tonight. And it'll happen again at Rebellion, baby. I'll make sure of that or die trying like in ze Dark Souls...CONSTANTLY. (That game really is a bitch.) You and the rest of the interviewers can watch me do what I should've done in here long ago."

Pewds exits into his locker room, leaving behind Cookie.


Checking the competitors...

"The Dark Saint" Mason Stone was seen beating on a training dummy as he prepared for the Battle Royale tonight. After one hard right hook, Mason took his time to think on what his teammates said about what they said to him two weeks ago on RAMPAGE II and is wondering he should go through it, even the commentators are wondering what is it The Hardcore Foundation said to him. At the same time, Zeke Cage was seen stretching his arms with an arrogant grin because he was watching clips of himself attacking Kenshin. Barney stated that Cage has what it takes to win the main event and the whole tourney. Then, "The Amazing" Spider-Man appears onscreen unmasked (while it is the reboot Spider-Man costume, it's Tobey Maguire's face underneath it) and shadowboxing as he's readying himself for a huge opportunity to go into Rebellion as the fourth member of the Fatal 4-Way Match. Especially considering the U.S., Intercontinental, and TV Championships are on the line and the winner is declared the first-ever ACW International Champion. This shot is huge for someone to have just join the company and he is not going to let this one slip away as Kenji stated.


Singles Match – Spin the Hedgehog (w/Beowulf) vs. Hattori Hanzo (w/Kurt Hudson)

Spin the Hedgehog was ready to go in this match as Hattori was set to annihilate his opponent; he was told he was getting paid extra by Kurt if he wins, after all, and the mercenary aims to complete his mission. He gave a cutthroat gesture to Spin, who showed no fear and only gestured back for Hattori—in shades of The Rock—to just bring it...and earned a straight left jab to the jaw, which Spin fires back with a kick to the gut. Now, Hattori went work on the hedgehog with Single Leg Takedowns, a Falling Inverted DDT, a Reverse Bulldog, a series of punches proceeded by Lou Thesz Press, and a T-Bone Suplex, but Spin was able to get a few hits in like running up the corner to the top and diving off with a Moonsault on the mercenary, a Hurricanrana off the ropes after countering an attempted Side Slam, and landing the South Island Hangover.

However, gears changed when Spin made a mistake as he went for a Somersault Plancha over the top rope to Hattori and missed, his back landing hard on the floor! Spin couldn't move for the moment and Hattori takes advantage of that by picking him up and ramming him against the apron. Then, he pulls him with a Hammer Throw, sending him running towards the barricades...and Spin was unable to stop himself as he flipped forward and nailed his lower back on the barricade and went over into the crowd! Hudson rested his elbow on the apron with a sneer as he liked what he was seeing and tells Hattori he'll definitely get that extra pay if he keeps this up while Beowulf had a stern expression, but he did worry how Spin was going to come back from this.

Throughout the match, Hattori dominated Spin as he continued zeroing the back with multiple stomps, a Snap Suplex, an Exploder Suplex into the turnbuckles, a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker, a Spike Brainbuster "for fun", a High-impact Spinebuster, and a Pendulum Backbreaker into a Backbreaker Submission. He switched up into a Bow and Arrow to keep Spin in his clutches as Hudson mocks Spin's pain and taps the apron, gesturing it's okay to give up now before he gets his back broken. Beowulf says otherwise and tells Spin to hang on. Knowing Spin, he is a resilient son of a bitch and he's not letting this make him surrender easily; he then went for quickest ways to escape a submission hold when he has no other way out...biting Hattori's hand. The mercenary screams in pain with the hedgehog's teeth on his hand and lets go of him to aid his hand; he shouts at Spin that he's a dead rat and comes after him into a Pelé Kick from The Deathmatch Icon and then he follows it up with the Fate Changer!

Spin was on top of the contest over Hanzo as he brought him to a corner with a series of Backhand Chops and Elbow Smashes and Headbutts followed by a Snapmare, Football Kicks, Knee Strikes, Shoot Kicks and finally finished with a Scissors Kick, executing Violence Party. At one point, Spin even went for a succession of jabs to the face and body, but not without a few Shane McMahon shuffles, follows it with a left hook, and finishes the combo with Death Kills. Later, Spin catches him for a Samoan Drop, but Hattori quickly slips out of it and shoves him to the ropes, in which Spin had slid and nailed a Baseball Slide to Kurt Hudson! "That's for attacking my buddy, Beowulf, ya jerk!" Spin pouts before roughly picked up by Hattori and K.O. ELBOW—MISSED! Spin turns around shocked as Hattori kicks him in the gut and nails the Soul Harvester (Stunner)!

"Stunner! Stunner! Stunner!" Markiplier exclaims, channeling his inner Jim Ross.

"But the mercenary would like to call that his new Soul Harvester! And he certainly got all of it!" Barney states.

Hattori rolls him over to hook the leg and press his elbow against his face as referee Kenneth Luger drops for the pin: 1... (Bada Bing!)

2... (Bada Boom!)

...3! (Forget About It!)

"Protection" by Jim Johnston plays as Hattori picks up the win over The Deathmatch Icon clean as Beowulf comes in to check on Spin...and gets his head knocked off clean with a Big Boot by Hudson! Hattori brings Spin on his feet and roughly throws him out of the ring before helping his boss tie up Beowulf against the ropes. Hudson exits the ring to snatch a microphone, pulls out the same black pipe from under the steel step and slides inside as he has words to say while nursing his jaw from the Baseball Slide.

"Well, well...ain't this a surprise Hattori would win? Actually, as a matter of fact...it isn't considering the thing he fought was nothing more than an old furry rag which should've died years ago whenever it botched its maneuvers. Now, since Hattori has won his match, I have the right to pick a stipulation here for our match, my 'king'," Kurt sneers bitterly, Beowulf glaring up at him with a heavy scowl and teeth bared. "For our match at Rebellion, if you lose, Beowulf—which I know you will—you surrender your crown to ME. The rightful heir to the throne. The one person that should've won at Reign in Blood. The right man to fit as the King of Blood! The one...true king to make your undefeated streak short-lived, Beowulf. I will be the one...in nine and one. Prepare the crown and robe for me when you lose...I'll be ready to kick you off MY throne."

Kurt drops the microphone as he slaps Beowulf and proceeds to the top turnbuckle while Hanzo holds the King of the Danes' injured leg out. Kurt attempts to land the pipe on Beowulf's leg, but the epic hero shoves the mercenary far away and his movements prompts Hudson to slip and land his lower regions on the turnbuckle! Beowulf was able to free himself from the ropes and before he can do anything, Hattori kicks him in the gut and proceeds into the Soul Harvester...

...and is denied as Beowulf shoves him off! Hattori bounces off the ropes and earns a vicious Elbow Smash from the King of Blood! He looks at Hudson favoring himself in the corner and smirks as he prepares for one impactful Spear. He was just challenging Kurt, measuring him to get to his feet now and as he staggers back from the corner, Beowulf speeds despite the bad leg...

...

...Kurt goes low and swings the pipe right at his left leg, making Beowulf crash and burn into the corner! The King of Money yanks him out of the corner, traps him in the Cobra Clutch with the pipe lodged against his windpipe and drives Beowulf with the Hudson $treet!

Hudson sneers with his foot on Beowulf's chest as he proclaims boastfully, "ACW Rebellion! You will FALL, Beowulf! Your TRUE King of Blood arrives, peasants!" The fans showered him with heavy rain of boos to Kurt, who leaves the ring with the pipe in hand...but not before noticing Spin is rising up on his feet and remembers the Baseball Slide he had given him. He slowly scowls at the hedgehog as he lines him from behind with the pipe in hand, holding it tightly...

...then the UWE veteran turns around...

...

...and his skull gets cracked by the pipe, falling back down into unconsciousness! But, unfortunately, he wasn't finished yet... Hudson brings Spin up and slams his whole body right into the steels steps! He spits down at the hedgehog, "That's for kicking my face, you f*cking roadkill..." before walking off to S-Preme's "I Come from Money" with Hanzo, both men departing to the stage.

[Commercial Break]


Interview Segment – Seto Kaiba w/Mike "The Mic" Martin

Mike "The Mic" Martin and Seto Kaiba stand in the interview zone as the interviewer queries what Kaiba has done to Ash Ketchum so far and if he's done "parts one and two" to make Ash miserable, what is part three. He even asked if Ash would retaliate from the hell Kaiba's put him through this past month.

Kaiba sneers with a haughty chortle and replies, "Mike...there is no possible way he could. I got him right where I want him; I made him feel utterly broken and his rage is only going to blind him than help him. I have made sure he was out of the International Championship Tourney, I have captured his electric rat and all he can do is NOTHING...but I make the suggestion to him that he realizes he is no way of my level and he will never touch me. I am the one who controls his life now and I am the one to make it a living hell as he ridiculed me... There is nothing he can do to retaliate. He will see what he did to himself and beg on his knees to get his Pikachu back... He has no one to blame but HIMSELF. Now...if you'll excuse me, I have a match to get to. Been a while I had one since Reign in Blood, anyway. It's about time I make my comeback." The KaibaCorp President smirks as he takes his leave from Martin, who narrowed his eyebrows and raised one.


Singles Match – Seto Kaiba vs. Alex Loredo

Kaiba leans back against the ropes as he awaits his opponent for tonight and the haughty smirk never left his face since the interview. Breaking Benjamin's "Lights Out" dies down as boos continued showering the area...then "Modest (2010 Remix)" by Peroxwhy?gen sounds off with extreme violet lights coloring the slightly confused audience...

...and they start cheering as "The Extreme Warrior" Alex Loredo walks out in a Jeff Hardy/Finn Bàlor combo entrance with his body painted in Jeff Hardy enigma style mixed with Finn's style. As he slowly slides in the ring rather creepily, this didn't faze Kaiba at all and he utters, "Try to make yourself feel reborn with body paint and rebooted gimmick, but it won't change a damn thing. You're just going to be another causality."

{Fast-Forward}

Seto traps Loredo in a Side Headlock and nails a few illegal punches to the top of his temple as referee Michael Verra warns him for that. The Yu-Gi-Oh! antihero only scoffs with a sneer as he roughs up the Headlock. The Extreme Warrior tries to push him away after bouncing off the ropes, but Kaiba keeps the Headlock sealed tight. He then tries out elbowing his gut and Kaiba's grip manages to loosen up a bit before Loredo bounces off the ropes and shoves him away...

...and Kaiba rebounds with a Triple H-styled High Knee! Loredo goes down and gets caught in another Side Headlock followed by a Headlock Takedown.

"Nearly lost momentum to Loredo's side, but Kaiba manages to keep it all to himself. He shouldn't have bothered with someone like Alex; this is just going to end up being a squash match," Barney chortles.

Kaiba follows that Headlock Takedown with a combo by hook the leg, but Loredo kicks out and the two raise themselves nearly to their feet as Kaiba is one knee and Loredo is on both. Soon, the two slowly get to their feet...

...and Alex sees an opening as he lifts Kaiba off his feet and drills him with a Teardrop Suplex!

"Shades of Shawn Michaels, the Extreme Warrior nails a Teardrop Suplex to Kaiba! Would he proud of that maneuver?" Zack comments.

"...You were saying, Stinson?" Kenji sneers.

"Shut up, Anthony. That's just beginner's luck," Barney retorts.

As Kaiba nurses his head from the Suplex, Loredo makes a run for the ropes and returns with a Running Low Dropkick to the face of his opponent. He sends him reeling to the ropes with forearms, then goes for an Irish Whip, but gets reversed. He bounces off the ropes, ducks the Clothesline, bounces off again and stops himself at the ropes from running into a High Knee from Kaiba. Alex cracks a grin to mock him, much to The KaibaCorp President's chagrin and he runs at the Latino, who drops down holding the ropes, causing Kaiba to spill to the outside...but he actually hangs on and lies on the apron. Alex sees this and smirks as he bounces off the ropes, runs towards Kaiba and nails a Flying Front Dropkick through the ropes, sending Kaiba off the apron! Alex hangs onto the ropes as he performs Skin the Cat, then hops over to the apron...

...performs a Springboard Split-legged Moonsault off the ropes...

...and lands it onto a standing Seto, executing the combo of high-flying moves he calls the Risk-taking Amalgamation (Flying Front Dropkick to an opponent on the apron through the ropes followed by Skin the Cat and concluded with a Springboard Arabian Press)!

"Whoa-ho! The Extreme Warrior really caught Kaiba with that! That was so awesome!" Markiplier exclaims as the fans cheered loudly for Loredo, who lets out a determined scream with arms splayed proudly.

"Mark, you're supposed to be unbiased and professional, not supporting jobbers!" Barney shouts.

{Fast-Forward}

The Extreme Warrior lines up Kaiba from the top rope and hops off with Warrior Uprising (Imploding 450 Splash)...but Kaiba sees him coming and rolls out of the way...and Alex lands on his feet in the nick of time! He stumbled back, but catches and reverses the Clothesline into an Arm-trap Swinging Neckbreaker; he goes for the cover: 1...2...Kaiba kicks out at 2.1 and Loredo grabs him for a Reverse Chinlock.

"Kaiba nearly caught Alex with the Clothesline, but he was one step ahead of him that time there," Kenji says. "It seems Kaiba is now having trouble with him."

"He's not having any kind of trouble, Kenny. Alex is just being a rebel by not following the rules of being a jobber and that's not retaliating to your opponent when he is supposed to take you out with ease!" Barney states.

Seto struggles to breathe and escape, but keeps his composure as mentally tries to figure out a way to escape the Reverse Chinlock, which is roughened up and tightened by Loredo. Soon, Kaiba rises on his feet with Alex in tow and goes for a Teardrop Suplex himself...but he flips out of it and lands on his feet. Alex grabs Kaiba's head into an Inverted Facelock, going for the finish...

...but Kaiba spins out of it and lifts him up, holding him in the Argentine Backbreaker Rack as he attempts the Dragon's Eternal Rest...

...

...Alex escapes once more and strikes a stiff High Knee to the face of Kaiba! He stumbles back to a near corner favoring his nose as Loredo sees his opportunity, standing against his corner with eagerness and charges at Kaiba the second he turned around...leaps up with a Running High Knee Strike...

...

...and Kaiba sidesteps it, forcing Alex to nail his knee against the turnbuckles! (Zack: Oh, Loredo could be going for the Chaos Kick—no! Kaiba manages to escape his fate! ; Barney: Yes! He outsmarts the rebel!) Loredo aids his knee from the corner and Kaiba pulls him into a Standing Headscissors, hooks his arms and plants him down with the White Dragon Plunge!

"White Dragon Plunge! He got all of it there! Alex Loredo is DONE!" Barney laughs.

"You have to at least give him credit for trying, though," Markiplier says. "He really showed he could hang with Kaiba."

"Yeah, I don't think there are any trophies for 'trying', Mark. Get your head out of your ass," Barney replies.

Kaiba stands on his knees with small scowl, but grins as he sees he has this match won. He goes for the pin with the leg hooked, Verra dropping down to count it: 1...

2...

...Alex gets his foot on the rope...and the official sees it! Not even Kaiba could believe it!

"Forget About—HUH?! Why is his foot on the rope?! Damn it, Loredo, you're breaking the rules of being a jobber!" Barney yells.

"Well, I believe he's sick of it and is showing resilience, Stinson! The Extreme Warrior is not out just yet!" Kenji implies.

{Fast-Forward}

After nailing Extreme Measures (Corkscrew Moonsault Senton Bomb), Loredo sees to end the match as he lines Seto on his feet and grabs him for the Extreme Twist (High-Impact Inverted Swinging Neckbreaker)...twists himself with Kaiba in tow...

...

...KAIBA STOPS HIMSELF AND LIFTS LOREDO ON HIS SHOULDERS...

...

...AND NAILS THE DRAGON'S ETERNAL REST!

"Extreme Twist denied!" Zack calls.

"And the Dragon's Eternal Rest is executed! The knee lift strikes to back of head!" Barney exclaims.

Kaiba drops down to hook the leg: 1...

...

2...

...

...

...

"HEY, KAIBA!"

Kaiba startles as he stands on his knees, stopping the pinfall and turns to the TitanTron...

...

...which features a grinning Ash Ketchum on the giant screen to shocked cheers of the crowd!

"Whoa, whoa, ASH? I didn't expect him to be here tonight!" Kenji says.

"He's got no business to be here anyway! Leave, Ketchum! Kaiba has a jobber to squash than to deal with you! Haven't you gotten enough of your punishment last week?!" Barney shouts.

The KaibaCorp President narrows his eyebrows as he stands up and leans against the ropes as he scowls, "What do you want NOW, Ketchum?"

"You know, Kaiba...I really wasn't surprised you captured my Pikachu just to get in my head. Hey, you did better than Team Rocket, so I'll give you that. Hell, I congratulate you for doing that and helping me break down!" Ash sneers. "...See...you say I'm not at your level where I can touch you... Perhaps so...but you took a page from Linus's book and stole my Pikachu... Kaiba...YOU DON'T TOUCH PIKACHU... YOU NEVER TOUCH PIKACHU... So I took the liberty of finally firing back at you...and I hope you like I've done to...redecorate your...personal items."

The Pokémon anime protagonist keeps his sneer as he steps aside to open a door, Kaiba hoping it isn't what he thinks it is...

...

...but it is...

...

...

...

...AS A ROOM OF KAIBA'S IS COMPLETELY WRECKED, HIS GAME TOURNAMENT TROPHIES UTTERLY DENTED AND DESTROYED, CHAMPIONSHIP BELTS ARE A MESS, AND HIS DUEL MONSTER CARDS ARE SPREAD EVERYWHERE!

"Oh—OH, MY GAWD! T-THE TROPHIES, TITLES, AND CARDS—THAT'S KAIBA'S! THAT ALL BELONGS TO KAIBA! WAIT...IS HE AT HIS MANSION?!" Markiplier exclaims.

"WHERE ELSE WOULD HE BE, NUMB NUTS?! THAT LITTLE BASTARD HAS DESTROYED KAIBA'S PROPERTY!" Barney shouts, enraged.

The fans were shocked, but no more than KAIBA as he stared in ABSOLUTELY HORROR at his prized trophies and championship belts destroyed and his cards either torn, bent or worse! Then that horror turned into utter anger as he shouts, "SATOSHI, YOU SON OF A BITCH! HOW DARE YOU DESTROY MY CHAMPIONSHIPS?! MY CARDS, YOU BASTARD?!" Ash enters the room with an evil grin and a baseball bat in hand as he closes and locks the door.

"It wasn't actually easy to get through security to get to here, but the rush was WORTH IT... It's kinda funny now, Kaiba...the past two weeks, you've made it Hell for me... First you made me lose in the tourney, then stole my Pikachu... Hahahah, oh, how much I love this irony," Ash chuckles as he swirls the bat and swings it right into another glass case, containing more of Kaiba's trophy collection!

"Oh, damn! That's gonna cost a lot to replace all those!" Zack says.

"How can he replace the accomplishments he's done and can never get back?! There's no way! DAMN YOU, ASH! YOU SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR YOUR CRIMES!" Barney snarls.

The Very Best continues smashing the bat onto the trophies before moving on to a wall and shoves off a picture, showing a destroyed keypad.

"Gee, I wonder what happened here. Oh, I know! I DESTROYED IT," Ash sneers before turning into a serious expression. "Seto Kaiba...you've messed with the WRONG Pokémon Trainer... It's one thing to make my life hell, but stealing my Pikachu—my best friend...oh, that's just taking it too far. It wasn't fun with Linus and it certainly isn't fun with YOU." Then Pikachu suddenly appears on Ash's shoulder with a scowl, electricity sparking from his cheeks as he glowers at Kaiba. "I've gotten my best friend back...and I've made sure YOU feel MY pain... Actions have consequences...and you certainly have them big time. Oh...forgot more thing before I leave..."

Ash picks his pockets...and pulls out the three Blue Eyes White Dragons, making Kaiba's eyes widen the size of circular plates! He was pissed, but now, he is LIVID as he cursed Ash's name!

"I'll be taking these cards with me for 'safekeeping' and as lesson for stealing my Pikachu. You want them back? Meet me at Rebellion...then we'll see if I'll return them to you... See you later, Kaiba."

Ketchum smirks as he tips his hat and the TitanTron shuts off, the cameras returning to show Kaiba is clenching his head that Ash has destroyed his personal items and stolen his three Blue Eyes White Dragons. He cursed his name and had thoughts of making him pay before returning to the match...

...

...AND EATS A SUPERKICK FROM OUT OF NOWHERE!

"CHEESE AND RICE! Kaiba was too busy with Ash, he didn't realize Loredo had recovered from the Inverted GTS!" Zack shouts.

"No! Kaiba's gotta come back from this! HE HAS TO, DAMN IT!" Barney hopes.

Alex catches a dazed Kaiba rebounding from the ropes, sets him up in the ring and drills the Extreme Twist! He would go for the pin...but he didn't...as he had something better...and ascended the top turnbuckle. (Kenji: Where's he going? ; Markiplier: Won't be good for Kaiba, that's for sure. ; Barney: Oh, God, someone please tell me this is just a bad dream and wake me up!) The Extreme Warrior rises on the turnbuckle and with a grin, he says, "For old time's sake..."

...

...

...

...and lands a Swanton Bomb on the former ECW Animation World Champion!

"Alex SOARS and SCORES! The Extreme Warrior gives a shout-out to his old self with the Swanton Bomb!" Kenji states. "He's going for the pin! And this is where I say—"

"Ooh, can I do it, bro?" Zack asks.

"...Eh, go ahead."

"Don't you dare, Zack!" Barney warns.

"TOO LATE! Seto Kaiba..." Zack begins...

...as Alex hooks the leg of Kaiba: 1...

"Applesauce!"

2...

"Dexter!"

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...3!

"KENSHI! HOLY FAT CAKES! ALEX LOREDO WON! HE FINALLY WON! HE'S DEFEATED A FORMER WORLD CHAMPION!" Zack exclaims. "...How'd I do, Kenji?"

"...Eh, no one's perfect on the first time...it was decent," Kenji shrugs.

"Yay," Zack cheers, pumping both fists up.

"NOOOOOOOOOO! THAT'S NOT HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN WITH JOBBERS!" Barney screams.

("Modest (2010 Remix)" by Peroxwhy?gen)

"Here is your winner, 'The Extreme Warrior' Alex Loredo!" declares Maria Lopez.

{Fast-Forward}

As his theme continues playing, Alex rolls out with his paint running off his skin from sweat and feels the pain in his head, but is grinning greatly as he finally walking out the winner for the first time in a while, especially after defeating someone such as Kaiba, a FORMER World Champion no less! He gave a few high fives to the cheering fans as he makes his exit to the stage. As for Kaiba...he was still LIVID...and he's got his mission for Rebellion...and that's making Ash Ketchum pay for destroying his prized accomplishments, that he SWEARS.

"Kaiba looks angry..." Zack gulps with a slight meep.

"GOOD. He deserves it for what he's done to Ash these past two weeks. He's shown why you don't steal a Trainer's best friend and think you can get away with it," Kenji states bluntly.

"Oh, that is BULL, and you know it, Neji! Ash pulled off a disastrously crime by destroying his championship trophies and belts and even stole his Blue Eyes White Dragon cards! That son of a bitch deserves to go to jail for what he did!" Barney retorts. "If he thinks this is going to make himself feel better, he's DEAD WRONG! He's going to get his comeuppance and that will happen at Rebellion!"

"Guess we can add that match to the card... Boy, will this be something to look forward to?" Markiplier says.


Promo Segment – Bakura Reminds Komuro the Clock is Ticking

Suddenly, dark disturbing images rapidly flash onscreen with people screaming in blood, slimy worms crawling through skulls, an eclipse blocking the sun, a severed arm being burned, a closeup of a creepy doll, whose head turns to the camera instantly, and a final quick snapshot of a screaming pale man with empty eye sockets with a loud brief scream being heard. And...darkness and silence is what was left...and smoke slowly rises out of the darkness in revealing a white-haired silhouette crouching in the middle of a blinking light hanging above him. The silhouette is actually recognized to be Yami Ryo Bakura as he had his eyes closed and deeply, but silently breathes in the air and breathes out, looking relaxed before speaking just as a piano version of "Nightmare" by Avenged Sevenfold is played quietly in the background.

"Tick...tock... Tick...tock... Tick-tock...tick-tock...tick-tock..." Bakura motions with his finger before looking at the camera with a sinister chuckle. "The clock is ticking...Takashi Komuro... In just under 24 hours...we will be locked in separate rooms...away from food...water...and light... I look forward to it especially...as I bask in the glory of the darkness... I've LIVED through it for so long, I've learned to LOVE IT... It is...just a thing of beauty... Sadly, people like you would never understand and that is why you will lose at Rebellion. It will be the very reason why you should learn to exercise your sins and see you don't interfere with a god... You don't interfere with a God of Darkness, to be more specific... Not only will I enjoy the darkness that surrounds me 24 hours before Rebellion...I'm going to enjoy making you SUFFER for your Sin of Wrath, Komuro. You will finally learn why you can never escape a god's wrath as it is more powerful than yours ever will be," Bakura states, pointing at the camera. "And by the end of it all...you...will...Follow...the Shadows..."

Bakura slowly cracks his sinister grin much large as he began to chuckle and it rises into an insane cackle, grabbing his head while laughing like a madman—

"DEH!"

A brief scream is heard as a screaming pale man with empty eye sockets was seen before going into blackness...

...

...static appears on the Titantron before blacking out to commercial.

[Commercial Break]


Backstage Segment – Smosh Receives a "Special Treat"

Smosh were seen walking around backstage as they were still pretty satisfied about their humiliation last week towards Ed and Eddy, specifically to the latter. Ian, however, stopped Anthony and asked him if they kinda went too far with the butterscotch despite it being hilarious to them. And all Anthony said was..."Nope," and laughed his butt off along with Ian and they stop at their door...with a note on it. Anthony removes the note to read, "Dear Smosh, for humiliating the Eds live on Ignition, we've prepared a special treat for you two inside your locker room. Here's a hint: there's chicken fingers. Enjoy." This prompts confusion and suspiciousness from Anthony while Ian didn't care and runs inside for chicken fingers. Anthony follows...and as the door shuts with the camera staying outside, they find no special treat.

"Aw, what the frick?! Where's the chicken tenders, man?!" Ian complains from the room.

"I told you there's nothing here, dude. We've been rolled," Anthony says.

"Damn it! ...Hey, what's that?" Ian asks.

"Huh?! What the hell—what is that giant ass green balloon thing?!" Padilla shouts.

"Is that a sock in there? I think that might be—" Ian says before an explosion is heard in the room! "OH, WHAT THE F*CKING FRICK?! IT SMELLS LIKE AN ACTUAL DEAD BUTT HOLE IN HERE!"

"ACK! IT'S A STINK BOMB! OH, GOD, THAT SMELLS SO BAD!" Anthony gags while pinching his nose. "WE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE!"

Smosh attempts their escape from the locker room...but they find out the door is locked shut.

"HEY! WHO LOCKED THE DOOR?! SOMEONE HELP! LET US OUT!" Anthony cries as Smosh were pounding on the door and retching from the stink bomb...

...

...

...

...and that's when Ed, Edd and Eddy appeared with the leader of the Eds grinning smugly with his elbow resting against the door.

"Not just a stink bomb, kid. It's the El Mongo Stink Bomb. Aah, you gotta love the classics," Eddy chuckles. "Thanks for actually helping us out for once, Sockhead."

"Yes, for once, because this is the ONLY time I will aid you of your petty and childish rivalry with young Ian and Anthony, Eddy. You do realize you've wasted the time I needed to train for my Battle Royale tonight, right?" Edd queries.

"Yeah, yeah, just do what you can, look pretty with your high-flying moves and win the match for us, man," Eddy waves him off. "If you lose the main event, we lose a big one as well!"

Edd only rolls his eyes and replies, "Somehow, I doubt that... I'll be leaving you alone in your successful battle of this degenerate war, gentlemen...and I use that lightly."

The Brainy Ed takes his leave to get back at his training while Eddy couldn't care less and hears the cries of Smosh suffering from the El Mongo Stink Bomb with an evil grin.


Interview Segment – Mai Valentine and Aelita Schaeffer w/Jennifer "Moze" Mosely

"Do I have to interview these people?" Moze frowns, a hand laid on her hip.

"I get that you don't want to, but you did appear at the last minute and this interview was all that we had for you. Just do your job, Mosely," says a crewmember off-screen.

"Fine... Ladies and gentlemen, my guests at this time, they are members of the Four Horsewomen...Mai Valentine and Aelita Schaeffer," Jennifer introduces...somewhat begrudgingly as Mai Valentine and Aelita Schaeffer are seen with small glares to Moze's introduction. "I don't know why I deserve this, but I might as well get it over with. So, Mai, what are your thoughts on competing against Sakura in what's essentially a rematch of your debut?"

"Ignoring your ignorant attitude, little girl...I'm not at all into fighting Sakura since I've already beaten her. I'm just gonna do it again tonight and keep doing it if she faces me more often. I swear, there's such a lack of competition in this division for us Horsewomen. I'm disappointed, really...then again, since our arrival, that's probably why competition is lacking. Most of the women are smart enough to stay out of our way while Evil Beauty are playing the dumb ones. They're brave, but stupid," Mai grins arrogantly. "And speaking of Evil Beauty, since I'm going to face Sakura, I'm going to use her to send a REAL message to those three waste of spaces. It'll be a real one unlike two weeks ago when they used Sarah Ortiz, a JOBBER, might I add, to send their 'message.' Not only to Evil Beauty, but to everyone in the Women's Division both main roster and developmental as well as Alvarez, Garza, and Misty on just how above the Horsewomen are in this business."

Moze then reluctantly asks, "If that is what you'll be doing...why bring Aelita along?"

The Lyoko Princess only scoffs and answers, "First of all, I offered to be by her side...and secondly I wanted to get an up-close look at the pathetic pinkette that's being allowed here in ACW...I mean the besides the waste-of-space who dares considers herself a counterpart to me."

"So I see... 'Waste-of-space,' you say...well, you did say she made your name look bad by losing a lot...when it's actually just you that's making your name look bad. You know, if that's what you are going to do, you may be lucky tonight as Jesse forbade your counterpart from attacking you to cause chaos—"

"Before you go any further, I would like to thank Jesse for making sure I'm secure and nothing chaotic as you said...well, at least it's one of the first things he's done right since we've got here," Aelita sneers as Mai nods, audience members heard booing in the background. "Besides, even if he didn't, I'd just embarrass her the second she tries to touch me—even though she does that enough herself in recent companies. It'll just be easy for me to beat her down and make sure she never interferes with my business again."

"...Then again, she may just do what she likes, go out to kick your little ass, and make YOU her bitch," Moze smiles, fans cheering at her comment and aggravating Aelita before Mai intervened.

"Back on the subject, little girl...as I said, I'll be using Haruno as a message to Evil Beauty, all of the Women's Division, and the higher-ups to show why The Four Horsewomen are going to OWN this business by the time we are through. And by then...we'll see if you can keep mouthing off to us," Mai glares.

"...Yeah...we'll see... I know I have to be professional...but I personally don't like you or the Horsewomen...and I look forward to see your downfall in the future," Moze states with a small sneer.

Valentine belittles her statement and both Horsewomen take their leave to the Gorilla Position while Moze lowers her mic and loses her smile to glare at them.


Females Match – Mai Valentine (w/Aelita Schaeffer) vs. Sakura Haruno

Sakura and Mai start off the match with the classic collar-and-elbow lockup...although with Valentine just ridiculing the tsunadre by evading her moves constantly, showing she really isn't into this match and that just irritates Sakura. If that wasn't aggravating enough, Aelita even showed her "boredom" with her elbows resting on the apron and chin resting on her hand along with yawning. Sakura was close to explode, but she had to keep her head straight...but after attempting a Leapfrog and getting SLAPPED across the face...adding in a few insults, something about her not being in Mai's league...it was ON when Sakura slapped her back and tackles her with the Double Leg Takedown into a series of fists to her skull!

Now Mai decides to take Sakura seriously as she really does evade her grapples and strikes, but most fail easily with Sakura constantly throwing lefts and rights. She had brought Mai to the corner after nailing a fury of right fists before Mai took a shortcut with a thumb to the eye. As Sakura heals her eye, Mai turns her back on her, goes for a Springboard Corner Crossbody and lands it with the hook of both legs—Sakura rolls to her feet with Valentine in her grasp! Mai struggles to escape, but Haruno shakes her head to say, "Don't even bother," before spinning her out in a Swinging Side Slam, turning her inside out! This got a near three-count, sadly. Sakura had signaled for the Power of Haruno, looking for a quick finish...if Aelita hadn't tripped her up, making Sakura stumble into an Elegant Egotist! However, that got a kick out at two as well. From there, Mai would have control of the whole contest over Haruno.

Sakura gets thrown over with a Snapmare (or more likely a Flying Mare), receives a Shoot Kick to the spine and has her head wrapped in a Reverse Chinlock. Mai wrenches the hold with her arm sinking against Sakura's throat, but the pinkette is doing all she can to stay in this match. Soon, both women slowly rose to their feet and Sakura hits the Sitout Jawbreaker to release the Chinlock! Mai stumbles to the ropes as she makes a rebound and Sakura MISSES the Lariat as it gets twisted into a Hangman's Neckbreaker! Aelita claps for her prowess as Mai puts back the Reverse Chinlock on Sakura, who slams a fist on the mat as she sees she's back to square one. After clearing her head despite the situation she's in, Sakura looks to rise on her feet once more as Mai is doing what she can in her power to keep her opponent down, but to no avail. The kunoichi reaches to her vertical base, reverses the Chinlock into a Hammerlock and hits Mai from behind with...an Inverted Headlock Backbreaker, surprising some of the audience members as they recognize that move from a certain Uchiha. The move wasn't perfect all the way, but she got it nonetheless.

And it was thanks to that maneuver that helped Sakura get back the adrenaline in this match as she ducks a Spinning Wheel Kick and rebounds with a Leaping Flying Clothesline, nails a cringe-worthy Running Single Leg Dropkick, throws Mai with a Hip Toss, and blasts her with a Power of Haruno. She only needed a Cherry Bomb to finish her off...but Mai counters with a Victory Roll Up...into a Figure-Four Leglock, shades of the Nature Boy as the fans let out a cry of woos! Sakura now was excruciating pain with both her legs tied up with Mai's, flailing all around as she desperate tries to escape the submission for dear life as Mai is wrenching the hold! The kunoichi struggles to break and fight out of it, doing all she can to stay in! Aelita taunted her former tag team partner to tap out as Sakura was close in doing so...

...

...UNTIL (Older) AELITA SCHAEFFER BLINDSIDED HER WITH A LARIAT!

"Aelita caught with a Lariat by her older counterpart! Officer Aelita is defying the orders of Jesse Alvarez to do her own bidding!" Kenji shouts.

"Why can't she just leave her alone for once, damn it?!" Barney frowns. "Doesn't she have any hobbies other than making our future Women's Champion's hell?!"

As the two counterparts were dealing with each other and referee Taylor Michaels' attention was turned on them, Mai notices the brawl going between the two and lets go of the hold to help her fellow Horsewomen. O-Aelita was close to performing a Scissored DDT, taking a page from her young counterpart's book, but eats a Clothesline from the Harpies Deck wielder! Mai then picks her up and slams her against the barricade with brutal authority! She checks on her fellow Horsewoman, The Fallen Angel nodding to say that she barely got a scratch on her. Mai acknowledges and slides back in the ring to finish Sakura with her Harpie's Feather Duster...

...

...but she spins out of it, kicks Mai's gut, DEADLIFTS her on her shoulders, going for a Muscle Buster...

...

...AND PLANTS IT, NAILING THE MANEUVER SHE CALLS STRENGTH OF A HUNDRED SEAL BUSTER! She turns her over and hooks the leg tightly: 1...

2...

Carly Shay pulls at Taylor's leg, making him stop the pinfall!

He turns around to scold her as the two get in an argument and Sakura stands up to see what was happening. As she did, Sam Puckett blasts her from behind with the Jobber Clobber! But she wasn't through as she picks Sakura up, her arms in Pedigree fashion and spikes her head with the Puck It, her Double Underhook Piledriver! Sakura was now knocked out cold and Sam drags Mai on top of the pinkette, whom to the tomboy says, "Bimbos like you don't deserve to win against people like the Horsewomen! ...Oh, and Moon says 'Hi'," before exiting the ring to make her escape as Carly halts her argument with Michaels and takes her leave with a smug grin. He sees Mai lying on top of Sakura with the leg hooked and counts the 1-2-3, much to the audience's displeasure.

"Pretty on the Outside" by Bullet for My Valentine hits the speakers as Mai has her hand raised by Michaels and the rest of the Horsewomen join her for her "easy win", all four of them being showered in boos. Puckett glances down at Sakura nursing her head from the Puck It and reminds her teammates, especially Mai, that they were going to make a statement to the EB, the division and the higher-up personnel.

Valentine glances at the kunoichi before nodding to say she was right, then gestures iGeneration to have at it first...and Carly grabs Sakura from behind with a Waist Lock, Sam bounces off the ropes and the two nail her with Going Viral (Running Arched Big Boot (Sam) / Bridging German Suplex (Carly) combination)! Following that, iGeneration pins her hands and feet down as Aelita takes herself to the top rope and lands the Aelitasault! They even brought ZOEY BROOKS out to have a taste of the action due to being part of the Queendom and despite not being much of a professional wrestler, she actually lands a stiff Chick Kick to the face of Sakura!

Mai was the last as she ties her legs up with Sakura's again and locks the Figure-Four, forcing the kunoichi to scream in pain while tapping out! The official had wanted to stop all of it and reverse his decision if Puckett hadn't scared him out of the ring. Eventually, Mai had finished making Sakura suffer...and Sam and Aelita places Sakura's head between Mai's legs as she looks for another Harpie's Feather, but on a STEEL CHAIR.

"What kind of message is this, damn it?! They're trying to end Sakura when Mai's already won the damn match due to iGeneration's interference!" Kenji scowls.

"Hey, when you get in the way of the Horsewomen, this is what you will receive!" Barney retorts. "This is a message to Evil Beauty, all of the women in the division, and the higher-ups to stay out of their way!"

"Weren't you the one also SUPPORTING Evil Beauty, Stinson?" Zack narrows his eyes.

"Oh, please, they needed to move on like Freddie said. They'll get another shot in the future," Barney waves off...prompting Mark to mutter, "Hypocrite."

Sam strikes Sakura's back with a Forearm Club to keep her in Mai's grip. The leader of the Four Horsewomen shouts, "Anyone who dares to fight us...this is what you will GET!" and she swings her once...

...

...twice...

...

...

...

...

...

...

[Here she comes again

Like good medicine

Every step she takes

My blood is flowin'

Her legs go on and on for days!]

The native Raleigh crowd EXPLODES in cheers as the Four Horsewomen and Zoey drop Sakura and turn their attention to the stage...where ACW Women's Champion Téa Gardner arrives, making her first appearance since Reign in Blood!

"It's Téa Gardner! The Women's Champion has returned!" Markiplier shouts...then "New Perspective" by Fireflight sounds off! "And she's not alone!"

"The Women's Tag Team Champions have arrived! Could order finally be restored here?!" Kenji questions.

Téa glances over her shoulder to have ACW Women's Tag Team Champions Hart of Hyuga, Hinata Hyuga and Samantha Hart, appear to stand by her respective sides.

[I want more; reach up, reach out

This house is burning down

These walls we've built are caving in

Reach up, don't give up...!

We're standing on the ashes

With a clearer view and a new perspective!]

Téa, Hinata, and Samantha stand at the stage altogether as they glare at the Queendom members and Téa says off-mic, "No more...no more being held back." Hart of Hyuga nods to her words before all three of them start walking their way to the ring, the self-proclaimed new challengers gesturing them to come in to the ring considering they have the five-on-three advantage...

...

...well, until O-Aelita blasted both her younger counterpart and Zoey with a Double-Northern Lariat! This immediately sparked the champions to rush in the ring and have an all-out brawl with the rest of the Horsewomen, enforcing a rowdy crowd! Téa on Mai! Hinata on Carly! Hart on Puckett (to avoid confusion)! (Older) Aelita on (Younger) Aelita! WAR and CHAOS has commenced for the Women's Division...and a small spice has been added to the ingredient when Kendra Daniels, Eliza Hart, and Allison Wilson rushed in the ring to take their piece of the action!

"MY GOD! LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, GUYS! THE CHAMPIONS OF THE WOMEN'S DIVISION HAS HAD ENOUGH OF BEING HELD BACK IN THE BACKGROUND AND SICK OF LETTING ANARCHY HAPPENING AND THEY'RE TAKING THEIR FIGHT TO THE FOUR HORSEWOMEN! AND EVIL BEAUTY HAS JOINED THE PARTY!" Markiplier exclaims.

"THIS JUST SEEMS TO BE DOING MORE ANARCHY! THE FANS LOVE IT, BUT SOMEONE HAS TO STOP THIS!" Kenji shouts.

"I ACTUALLY CONCUR, IZZY! THE HORSEWOMEN AND ZOEY COULD GET HURT!" Barney yells...making Kenji facepalm.

{Fast-Forward}

The last women standing in the ring were Téa, Kendra and Mai as the rest were dealing with each other outside the ring—

"ENOUGH!"

That shout was LOUD enough to stop the fight. All the women turn to the stage as a woman in her late 20s or early 30s with long shoulder-length red hair, blue-green eyes, and wearing women's formal suit and a heavy scowl on her face walks out with a microphone in hand.

"...Oh, no...it can't be her..." Barney says, perking his colleagues' curiosity.

"ENOUGH of this chaos, girls. From day one since the Four Horsewomen arrived, I had to watch back and see both heel stables fighting for territory, an older counterpart attack her younger counterpart, and I just had to see you all causing a brawl on Ignition! I will NOT allow this to go on any longer!" states the redhead.

"Uh, who the hell do you think you are, hag?!" shouts Puckett off-mic from ringside.

"...

"...

"...

"...The name is Lily Aldrin, Miss Puckett...and I'm your new boss—the Co-Head of the Women's Division to be exact...BITCH," Lily says, fans backing her up with cheers as Sam was being held back by Carly for her insult.

"Lily Aldrin of How I Met Your Mother, here on Ignition as the Co-Head of the Women's Division?! Barney, did you know about this?" Markiplier asks.

"I-I did when I saw her name upon our website...but I thought it was a JOKE! Oh, God, why did you hire this MONSTER, Alvarez? Why?!" Barney groans.

"Lily is...well, Lily as you told me about her, Stinson...but she's the type of person that takes jack from NO ONE," Kenji states.

{Fast-Forward}

"Now, let me state a few things around here... Officer Aelita," Lily calls, gaining the older pinkette's attention, "I understand why you despise your younger counterpart...but you were forbade by Alvarez himself that you wouldn't go out and take your personal issues with Aelita out on her, even though some women around here and outside ACW would like to punch her face in and I can't blame them, really. However, seeing it's no surprise you disobeyed him, we have no choice but to declare this... Since you want a taste of the Fallen Angel, you got her because tomorrow night on RAMPAGE IV, it will be Officer Aelita Schaeffer versus 'Plan A' Aelita Schaeffer!" the crowd cheers at that announcement while O-A was satisfied to hear that...and Plan A wasn't at all. "But here's a stipulation, though...NONE of your Horsewomen or a Queendom member or ANYONE that's stupid enough to side with you shall interfere because they are BANNED from ringside!" the crowd cheers loudly as Aelita disapproves of this very much. "Don't try to play innocent...I know you type of people and that's why I'm keeping a special eye on you and the rest of your Horsewomen. You're all under MY watch. And since I'm going on...as for you, Evil Beauty, Mai and iGeneration...I'm adding the stipulation as well for your match. In Rebellion this Sunday, it will be a Six-Woman Tag Team Match featuring Evil Beauty against Mai & iGeneration! The winner of that match will be the rightful #1 contenders for the Women's Championship and Women's Tag Team Championship respectively."

Evil Beauty and three of the Horsewomen were satisfied with that before Lily continued, "Know this, Evil Beauty...Horsewomen...everyone else in the female division...you can say you own this business all you like...but remember who's the BOSS of you all and who can take you out the SECOND you defy my leadership (snaps fingers) like that. I can either be your best friend...or your worst enemy. Remember that WELL, girls...because you and the rest on ACW is going to learn to live with Aldrin Justice, baby."

"One Girl Revolution" by Superchick plays for Lily's exit to the Gorilla Position as Valentine and iGeneration talk trash to Evil Beauty, O-Aelita points at her young counterpart that she looks forward to kick her ass, and the champs...well, Téa and Hart of Hyuga are still tired of being stuck in the background and whoever wins by this weekend...they'll be ready to fight.

"Lily Aldrin as part of our higher-up management...this will be a nightmare for the women who dare to step in her way," Markiplier says.

"...Jesse Alvarez...what have you DONE?" Barney groans.

Interview Segment – Nathan Drake w/"Cutie Pie" Marzia Bisognin

ACW has a new member of the backstage interviewing team...and her name is Marzia Bisognin, also known as CutiePieMarzia of YouTube fame, the girlfriend of PewDiePie. The ever so adorable Marzia stands alone in the interview zone with a mic in hand as she looks forward to her first day on the job.

"Hi, ACW! It's Marzia! As you can see, I'm your new backstage interviewer and I'm happy to be working here. Firstly, I wanna say congrats to my Felix for winning his match earlier tonight and I wish him luck in the main event! Okay, now to get this job done...everyone, my guest at this time, he's part of the main event as well...'The Uncharted Thief' Nathan Drake!" Marzia introduces to a cheering crowd as Nathan Drake appears onscreen with a confident smile. "Nate, you are in this Battle Royale due to your loss against current ACW TV Champion, Luke Smith, and you have a second chance to join him and the rest of the champions if you win. What are your thoughts going into this match?"

"Gotta say...I felt I have no chance of winning at all, to be honest. I thought I take the chance to accept Smith's challenge and my bad luck ends there...but that's not the case. Now that I'm in the Battle Royale 'cause of it, I'm probably not gonna win this...but after my deserving long-achieved winning at FUSION 16, Nathan Drake...is BACK," Nate smirks, garnering some cheers. "As an Uncharted Thief, I'll make sure my chances of survival in this Battle Royale will be nothing but GOOD to me. I just have to be Nathan Drake. And as Nathan Drake, I'm gonna do whatever it takes to win...even if it means stealing the win, which...c'mon, I'm the Uncharted Thief for a good reason. When I show it, I'll gladly do it again at Rebellion and become the first-ever ACW International Champion. My win at FUSION made me feel new again and I'm gonna keep this up by winning tonight's Battle Royale or die trying...well, maybe without the dying part."

Drake's muse made Marzia chuckle a bit...then stopped as Saul Linklater walks in, inciting a negative reaction from the crowd and a raised eyebrow from Nate.

"Do what it takes, eh, old man? Probably attempting to steal the win? You can try to relive your glory days...but it's pointless because I'm gonna be the guy to KILL your momentum before you can even begin it. As a Praetorian, I have the right to do that in order to...bring order and make this place a safe haven for us all," Saul grins. "You say you're the Uncharted Thief...well, I'm the Ass Kicking Name Taking Saul F'n Linklater...and I'll be the one making my nickname reality when you are eliminated, especially by yours truly...the winner of tonight's Battle Royale, Saul Linklater, baby."

The grinning ex-cop of S.P.P.D. adjusts his sunglasses as he turns around to leave...but Nathan places a hand on his shoulder to gain his attention as he had an unfazed expression.

"...Kid...a bit of advice...your luck is gonna run out on you, eventually... Believe me on that," Drake says, earning a scoff from Saul as he leaves. The self-believed descendant of Sir Francis Drake takes his departure as well, leaving behind a lone Marzia.


Backstage Segment – The Yu-Gi-Oh! Gang Converses

Téa Garner walks through the hall after departing from Hinata and Samantha as she walks to her locker room, but comes across her boyfriend, Yugi Mutou, along with Atem, Duke Devlin, Joey Wheeler and Tristan Taylor just as she was about to enter her room.

"Guys...what are you doing here?" Téa queries.

"We just saw what happened out there with that Aldrin chick calling the shots and creating some kind of sense of justice here, especially you got in a faction three-way brawl against Evil Beauty and the Horsewomen," Joey says. "You okay?"

"Yeah, I am...why wouldn't I be?" Téa raises an eyebrow.

"Anzu..." Atem says, calling Téa by her Japanese name, "you were heard saying 'You're not going to be held back any longer'... Anything you'd like to share?"

"...Well, since I only told Yugi this, it's fair I tell you guys... I am tired of being stuck in the background with Hinata and Samantha as Evil Beauty and the Four Horsewomen are fighting over to see who dominates the Women's Division. Hart of Hyuga and I made an alliance for now...and no matter what, we're going to prove why we're the champions of the division and we are the ones that hold the throne. If either stable wins...let them come and get us. We'll be ready to FIGHT," Téa states. "I am sick of having to sit in the back when I'm the ACW Women's Champion for a damn good reason—same goes for Hinata and Samantha as the ACW Women's Tag Team Champions despite their differences. So by the end of Rebellion...we will be fighting champions. RR or Queendom," Téa pats her belt, "if they want this...they're gonna have to pry it from my cold dead heads...and I will fight until my last breath to make sure this belt stays within my hands. They don't believe me? ...Watch me."

The Apricot Champion steps into her locker room as the rest of the Yu-Gi-Oh! male crowd acknowledge her words. Atem reminds Yugi they must leave for their match and the King of Games nods, then Altered Egos leave behind the Battle Royale contestants...who begin to proclaim themselves respectively as the winner. At the end, Joey reminds Tristan that either Domino City Machine Gun member wins, the team wins anyway. Tristan does agree...but Devlin declines and says the winner will be said in four words: "The Whole...Damn...Show."


Triple Threat Match – Yugi Mutou (w/Atem) vs. Stan Terra (w/Carter Young) vs. Carnage (w/Venom)

At the sound of the bell, Carnage went straight after Yugi, who prepared himself for an evasion or a counter...but Terra sidelines him with a Dropkick to the side of his head! One-half of the tag champs looks at Terra in surprise, then The Omega glances at Yugi with a glare and points to Carnage, gesturing he and Venom are first...then points at Yugi, indicating they are next later on. He notices Carnage rising on his feet and sprints to the ropes, bounces off, and flies through the ropes onto Carnage with a Suicide Dive! Yugi only stands in his spot to watch and seeing two of his opponents are outside...he climbs to the top turnbuckle...and walks on the top rope, balancing himself as Carnage and Stan get to their feet...

...

...and Yugi lands on top of them off the Springboard Split-legged Moonsault!

{Fast-Forward}

Yugi went for the early finish as he attempts a Swanton Bomb on Stan Terra, who sprung to life on his feet and rushed to the top turnbuckle, hooks Yugi up in a Fisherman Suplex...then Carnage joins in with his arms wrapped around Terra's waist...

...

...Stan falls off for the Fisherman...

...

...Carnage leaps for the German...

...

...AND ALL THREE MEN CRASH HARD ON THE MAT, EXECUTING THE TOWER OF DOOM!

"Yugi lands on his back off the Fisherman Suplex, but Terra gets his head driven into the mat from Carnage's German Suplex! My God!" Kenji shouts.

"Oh, oh, Carnage is going for the pin on Stan!" Barney shouts as Carnage hooks Stan's leg: 1, 2—kick out at 2.5! "He's got the three—no! He got it halfway, but he not all the way in yet! And that's what the blonde definitely said to me last night! Self Five!" he high fives himself.

{Fast-Forward}

Terra stands against the corner while Carnage was laying out his fist strikes to the temple and chest and the kicks to the midsection, pulling out all the stops. From behind, Yugi springs at Carnage with a Stinger Splash, but Stan earns the attack instead! Not what Yugi had in mind for this, but he'll take it. Yugi moves away to turn around...Carnage lunges at him with a Leaping Corner Clothesline...then he dodges to the sidelines...and Stan also does the same, making Carnage crash and burn on the turnbuckles!

"Yugi nails that Stinger Splash, but it seems when Carnage went for it, he hits zero, none, zip, nada!" Zack calls.

Carnage staggers back into the hands of Yugi and Stan, both who look at each other with small glares, but nod as they hoist Kasady flying high in the air...

...

...and Yugi nails a Falling Neckbreaker while Stan strikes down the elbow to the chest, both men respectively executing the symbiote with the Double Back Suplex lifted and dropped into a Falling Neckbreaker / Elbow Drop combination!

"Look at this! Innovative combo by both Yugi Mutou and Stan Terra! Very unlikely moment of chemistry between the two who are facing each other right now and this Sunday!" Kenji states.

With Carnage rolling away, The King of Games and The Omega stare at each other as they rise to their feet and kick each other in their guts; then, Stan goes for a Clothesline and Yugi ducks it, floats over him into a Front Facelock, draping the arm over his head as he lifts him up...

...Stan lands on his feet, wraps his arms around the waist, tosses him with a German Suplex...

...

...

...

...and Yugi gets planted right on Carnage with a Splash! He tightly hooks the leg: 1, 2—Stan breaks up the pinfall with a Dropkick to the face!

"The exchange of two high-flyers ends with Yugi landing on Kasady and Terra kicking his little face in! Ha! No doubt this takes away his momentum and bring it into Terra's own," Barney implies.

{Fast-Forward}

While Yugi was down after receiving a brutal Discus Clothesline from Stan, he was going to work on Carnage with multiple stomps to the sternum, then forces him up on the top turnbuckle pad and joins him up there. He nails a series of closed fists to the temple before getting his feet on the top ropes, leaps on his shoulders and flips back for a Super Hurricanrana...which is not connected as Carnage shoves him off, causing Stan to fail in executing and luckily landing on his feet, albeit stumbling, and Carnage takes his shot with a diving variation of his Red Death, the Spinning Heel Kick!

"Terra nearly took Carnage down from the skies, but the murderous and psychopathic symbiote counterattacks with his classic finisher from the '80s!" Markiplier states.

"This could be the definite opening that Carnage needs for this bout right now; I'm still hoping for an opening where Carnage and Terra take down Yugi together," Barney says.

"I'm afraid that won't happen, Barney, because right now, Kasady is bringing himself to the corner," Zack notes. "He's looking for a GORE, man! He's looking for the Maximum Carnage!"

The red symbiote grins sadistically crouching against the corner as he prepares himself for on fatal Striking Spear to a rising Stan Terra. Carnage then speeds forward the second Stan stood up and he connects NOTHING as Stan counters with a kick to the chest, then follows it up with a Running Corkscrew Neckbreaker! However, he didn't let go of the neck as he rolls to his feet with Carnage in tow and snaps off a Hangman's Neckbreaker followed by a DDT, nailing the Omega Revolution!

"Innovative combo by The Omega!" Kenji calls.

{Fast-Forward}

Now Stan is lining Carnage for something big as he grabs him from behind and prepares to perform the Omega Finale...flips him in the air...

...

...and Carnage sticks the landing! He turns him around, kicks him in the midsection, and grabs him in a Gutwrench hold. He lifts him up for the Falling Gutwrench Powerbomb...and add in a flying Yugi Mutou with a Springboard Leg Drop, you have a modified Powerbomb / Leg Drop combination! Carnage sees Yugi and goes charging after him, but only to have himself fly over the top rope off the Back Body Drop from Yugi. Fortunately, Cletus saves himself from the worst as he stands on the apron—Yugi Front Dropkicks him off the apron and Carnage crashes hard on the announce table!

"Carnage flies off and—ah, sh*t!" Markiplier yelps as he and the commenters evaded the symbiote. "Well...that could've ended better for Carnage as Yugi takes him out of the contest for now."

"And since that happened, Yugi is back in the game! ...Anybody wanna move him?" Zack asks, pointing at Carnage.

"We like to live, thank you, Zack," Kenji deadpans.

"For once, I agree with Vinny," Barney nods.

{Fast-Forward}

Yugi nails various Back Elbows to a cornered Terra, and then Irish Whips him to the opposite corner. Stan hits back first into the turnbuckle pad and counters a running Yugi with a Rope-aided Dropkick. Stan rises on the turnbuckles and comes back down with a Diving Bionic Elbow—Yugi catches him in midair and performs a Northern Lights Suplex, bridging the maneuver! Shoulders are down: 1...2...Stan pops the shoulder up at 2.59! Both men stand up and SIDE KICK FROM STAN TERRA, CONNECTING STRAIGHT TO THE JAW! Yugi stumbles as he falls—OVERHEAD KICK! Yugi strikes the Pelé Kick right onto the temple of Terra and both men collapse to canvas!

"Pelé Kick! Shades of Finn Bàlor as Yugi goes down from the Side Kick, but not before connecting his foot at the top of Stan's skull at the last moment with that Overhead Kick!" Kenji exclaims.

"But both Yugi and Stan are down! Who's gonna take the most momentum once they stand first—who's gonna get the better of it?!" Barney asks shouting. "C'mon, Stan! Get up so you can get one over Yugi!"

Terra uses the ropes to help bring himself to his vertical base as Yugi rises up on one knee. By the time Stan reached his stance against the corner, Yugi walked over to grab him, but only to earn a thumb to the eye. Yugi backs away nursing his eye as Terra grabs him for the Omega Revolution!

...

...Yugi lands on his feet behind him and pushes him INTO A MAXIMUM CARNAGE!

"GOOD GOLLY, MISS MOLLY, Stan Terra gets the wind knocked out of him from the Maximum Carnage!" Markiplier explains.

"This is not what Stan had intended to happen, that's for damn sure!" Zack states.

"Gee, you think, sh*t for brains?!" Barney glares.

Carnage rolls forward onto his feet after delivering the Maximum Carnage to Stan and kicks Yugi before he can grab him. He pulls him to the ropes with an Irish Whip, ducks the Clothesline run after bouncing off the ropes and rebounds with the Maximum Carnage—Yugi plants his face down on the mat with a Springboard Double Foot Stomp to the back of his head! The King of Games flips him onto his back and leaps onto the top rope...flips the bird to the camera, saying, "From me to you, House! Hope you like it!"...stands up and nails the Duel Dive!

"Well...after that special message from Yugi, he lands on top of Kasady with the Duel Dive!" Markiplier states.

"And this is where I say..." Kenji begins with a smirk.

Yugi hooks the leg tightly: 1...

"Anata!"

2...

"Desu!"

...

...

...

...

...

...3!

"Kansei!"

"I hate you, Benji," Barney deadpans, glaring at Kenji.

"HABUSKI! That's all she wrote for this matchup!" Markiplier calls.

("Loaded" by Zack Tempest)

"Here is your winner, Yugi Mutou!" Maria declares.

{Fast-Forward}

Yugi backs up to the stage with his ACW World Tag Team Title over his shoulder as Carnage was seething about his loss and Stan, while relieved he didn't lose, he was also pissed he didn't win either. Mutou holds up his title as he proclaims his and Atem's victory is assured this Sunday at Rebellion, no matter the strength of The Symbiotes or the rage of Alpha & Omega. Atem nods to his partner's triumph over his opponents as he leaves with him, Venom was growling and Carter glares with silent anger, but calms himself. The Symbiotes can be pissed about this, but Carter does remind Terra that they can't let their anger cloud their minds as they must focus on winning at Rebellion. The Omega nods to The Alpha, agreeing with him on that fact...but they never know what will happen come Sunday.

"For the past two weeks, it has been all Symbiotes, but it is Altered Egos taking the win with Yugi standing tall tonight on Ignition. Could it be these two standing tall once again as the winners and still the ACW World Tag Team Champions?" Markiplier asks.

"Anything can happen as it is a Triple Threat Tag Match, Mark, but the only result I will look forward to is either The Symbiotes or Alpha & Omega winning the Tag Titles," Barney proclaims. "Because either way, a proud smile will crack upon my beautiful face!"

Promo Segment – Takashi Retaliates to Bakura

Alone in some part of the backstage area, Takashi Komuro is seen crouching with his head hanging low as he's not even looking at the camera and dressed in street clothing. He then lifts his head up as his eyes appeared emotionless. He lets out a deep sigh while cracking his neck...then starts speaking while not looking at the camera.

"...It's...the same...old...sh*t... It's the same...old...sh*t... It's the same old sh*t...over...and over...and over...and over...AND OVER...AND OVER...again... Telling me I'm going to 'follow the shadows' once I'm lying in my own pool of blood... Trying to psych me out before Monster's Ball can begin... Let me tell you a little story—should be something you folks know... Once upon a time...two assholes with god complexes try to psych me and Kohta out before Reign in Blood. Know what happened? It worked. Kohta and I sh*t in our pants after seeing that video of those two acting like the Wyatt Family; but, it isn't like we were gonna pussy out of our match. We had to go through our match...and we did...but we lost. It was all my fault...I set the flames upon a table just to send those bastards to Hell where they belonged...but my plan turned on me and Kohta was the first guy to go through that flaming table...and from there, the rest was history. It was all because I've allowed myself to set that table on fire and let those guys win over us physically and mentally. Now, it's come down to between me and Bakura to even things up and he's doing the same tactic that's freaked me and Kohta out for a good while...but I'm not letting it get to me THIS TIME..." Takashi states as he finally turns his attention to the camera and stands up.

"I've already been through psychopaths, corrupted bastards and dead f*cks such as 'Them'. Fighting an asshole with a god complex is just another step of scary sh*t I'm going through...but it's going to be something I will stomp on just like the ones in my hometown before I stepped into the ring. Bakura...I accepted this match for a damn good reason...and it's because I am willing to step in the squared circle like an animal and tear you APART. You took out Kohta. I took out Marik. And at Rebellion during Monster's Ball, I will make sure our rivalry is evened out when I walk out the winner! Granted, I won't be the same...but I'll be happy to see your f*cking corpse lying in the middle of the f*cking ring after I'm through with you. You telling me to follow the shadows, Yami Bakura? Here's what I'm telling you...I'm personally tired of you preaching about the darkness. I personally hate you for putting Kohta in the hospital. And I'm personally sick of your face. I'll gladly and personally rearrange it myself...and make you regret the night you took out my best friend... If you're not down with that...DROP DEAD, ASSHOLE."

Takashi then flips the bird at the camera, inflaming a huge amount of cheers as he walks away from the area.


Interview Segment – Jason Krueger w/Jeff Dunham & Peanut

Another round of cheers is heard as Jeff Dunham stands in the interview zone with Peanut by his side and a microphone in his hand.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, my name is Jeff Dunham and I'm your interviewer as of this moment for the evening," Jeff says. "Firstly, how are you doing, Peanut?"

"Doing pretty good! How about you?" Peanut asks.

"Oh, I'm fine."

"Oh, that's good, that's good, that's GOOOOOOOOD!" Peanut exclaims. "Hey, are you going to introduce our interviewee?"

"Yes, I am, why?" Jeff questions.

"Ooh, can I do it, please?!" Peanut pleads.

"Peanut, the last time you did that, you interrupted me on the introduction, messed it up on purpose and nearly got me killed," Jeff reminds.

"Oh, come on, the guy we're interviewing now is tame compared to the last guy. Please, can I do it?"

Jeff sighs, "Fine, go ahead."

"Yes! Ladies and gentlemen, here is the most f*cked up and freakiest combination of Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger, he's 'The GOOOOOOOOOOORE Machine', JASON KRUEGER!" Peanut exclaims, introducing the ACW Hardcore Champion, who walks in with a snarl, obviously not in the mood for jokes. "How'd I do?"

"...At least you got the name right..." Jeff replies. "Okay, getting down to business...Jason, in a few moments, you will be square off against ACW Undisputed Champion Naruto Uzumaki—

"And you want to know what I'm thinking, right?" Jason interrupts with a growl. "Here's what I'm thinking: all I'm thinking about is ways to make sure Ichigo doesn't walk out of Rebellion ever again and doesn't it make out ALIVE. Tonight, I face Naruto in a Champion versus Champion Match...and I'll be using him as a prime example for what's to come for Kurosaki this Sunday...but by then, what I will do to Naruto is going to be TAME for what I will do to Kurosaki...! I don't really give a damn if Naruto won't make it to Rebellion in one piece or not. I'm actually doing Sasuke a favor by softening Naruto up for him. I hope Kurosaki is watching...'cause he will have to pay attention for what I am going to do to his close friend and fellow Shōnen Jump ally, Naruto...right now."

Jason bears his teeth with a sadistic grin upon his feral face as he takes his departure with the ACW Hardcore Championship draped over his shoulder, leaving behind Jeff and Peanut, who said..."Hey, Jeff, did you wet yourself?"

"No," Dunham answered with narrowed eyebrows.

"Oh...must be me, then," Peanut gulps, earning some laughter from the fans.


Champion vs. Champion Match – Naruto Uzumaki vs. Jason Krueger

After being hit with a Clothesline to the outside, Naruto tries to stand on his feet as Jason exits the ring, grabs hold of the Undisputed Champion...throws him to the steel steps...Naruto stops himself from completely crashing into them! He strikes Jason with a Back Elbow right to the jaw, causing him to stagger back. Naruto gains an idea as he walks around the stairs and lines Jason up...then the second he was done nursing jaw...

...

...NARUTO LANDS A SHINING WIZARD OFF THE STEEL STEPS!

"Very amazing way of using the steel stairs as extra elevation by the Undisputed Champion! He got all of it on The Gore Machine!" Markiplier exclaims. "What a mean Shining Wizard, landing his knee to the jaw once again! That's gotta knock him out there!"

"That's just insult to injury, dude! Not fair at all for Naruto to do that to our Hardcore Champion!" Barney frowns. "And I hope Naruto realizes he's not going to win if he stays outside the ring this long with Jase...idiot."

"He's going to use the strength he has to bring Jason back in and take the pin. Can he do it?" Zack quires.

The Orange Spark groggily brings Krueger, who is dead weight as of now to the world champion, up on his legs and shoves him into the ring. Jason rolls across the ring as Naruto slides in and follows him. The Undisputed Champion grabs a hold of him—Jason catches him in a Full Nelson and locks his hands tight together! Naruto flails his arms out as he tries to escape the classic submission maneuver, but Jason gives no signs of letting go of his grip! It would seem Naruto would be fading as he falls to one knee and Jason grins at the sight of this despite one not being a submission specialist and wrenches his hold for a while longer...

...

...referee Marshall Eriksen checks if Naruto is willing to continue by raising his arm once...

...

...twice...

...

...

...

...thrice—Naruto suddenly lifts Jason on his shoulders, looking for the Ninja's Way!

"Ha! It's all over! Sweet dreams, Naruto—WHOA, WHAT THE HELL?! I thought he fainted?!" Barney reacts.

"He suckered Jason right in! The Orange Spark outsmarted the Gore Machine into thinking he had this match won with a technical knockout! A shining moment of intelligence, that's for sure!" Kenji states. "Now he's about to end this match with a Ninja's Way!"

As Jason fails to slither from Naruto's grasp, the latter cracks a grin and flips him off the Standing Fireman's Carry for the Kneeling Takeover...and Jase counters it into a modified Stunner, nailing a unique variation of the Hydra Smasher! (Zack: No, not happening as Jason lands a modified version of the Hydra Smasher, no need for a Vertical Suplex! ; Barney: Atta boy, Jason! This is opening he needs to win this match quick and easy!) Naruto, quite literally stunned, stumbles away from Jason to recover while The Messiah of Neckbreakers stalks him from a far corner, waiting eagerly for his opponent to turn around for him to eat a GORE as a few Jason Krueger fans chanted for his finisher. He clings onto his ashy black hair like a maniac as he demands for Naruto to turn around, which he does and Jason speeds out of the corner...

...

...The Gore is DENIED! Naruto trips Jason with the Drop Toe Hold, drags him to the center of the ring by his leg and traps him in the Will of Fire! He has that Stepover Toehold Facelock clutched in tightly and Jason is screaming like an animal with his foot caught in a bear trap as he is desperately clinging onto the mat for an escape!

"STF! The Stepover Toehold Facelock is locked in and now Jason is in the ultimate test in this contest, determining whether Jason has the Will of Fire to keep fighting or surrender and let the flames within him die!" Markiplier exclaims. "This may be the very end for the Hardcore Champion unless he finds a way to free himself!"

"Come on, Jason, you have a lot ahead of you, kid! Don't let yourself end up being another casualty Naruto has beaten before! Show why you're the Hardcore Champion for a good reason!" Barney cheers. "You can do it, man—hey, who's coming down to the ring?"

"...Is that...Ichigo?" Kenji questions, seeing the Rated-R Reaper walk down the ramps...very casually with his hands in his pockets.

"The hell is Strawberry doing?" Barney narrows his eyebrows together.

"He's just walking down the ramps...and around the ring casually?" Zack scratches his head.

As Naruto is keeping Jason trapped and Jason is struggling to break the hold (he did notice Ichigo as well), Ichigo walks up to the ringside crew and takes away the Hardcore Championship belt! He drapes the title over his shoulder with a small grin and walks around the ring to get in front of Jason. He calls to the insane Krueger and he sees his challenger with his title over his shoulder and it's obvious he was NOT happy about it.

"That son of a BITCH! How dare Ichigo put his filthy hands on Krueger's Hardcore Title?! Who does he think he is?!" Barney snaps.

"He's the Rated-R Reaper, Stinson...and right now he's just doing what he does best: playing mind games with the Hardcore Champion," Kenji states.

"Well, right now, brother, it's WORKING 'cause Jase is pissed," Zack implies, gesturing to the seething Jason Krueger.

Kurosaki grins at the sight of Jason's anger as he pats the belt and says off-mic, "What do you think, Jase? Looks good on me, right?" This angered the champion of hardcore very much, he actually crawled at a quick pace for the ropes and manages to earn a rope break. Naruto didn't let go until at the count of three and brought Jason back to the center of the ring, but received a vicious kick to the face. He went after him again and Jason strikes him down with a Big Boot followed by throwing right through the ropes as he hits shoulder-first into the turnbuckle post. While the Undisputed Champion is recovering, Jason cursed at Ichigo and demanded for his title back...which he actually did surprisingly as Ichigo just shrugged and tossed it back to him. Jason held onto the real close like it was his own child as he glares at the challenger before having it taken away by Marshall, who says, "You'll get this back when the match is over." Marshall walks away to give the title back to ringside as Jason grabs Naruto to get a Back Elbow, causing him to stumble back and ICHIGO SPEARS THE GORE MACHINE!

"Krueger now returning his attention to the world champion and earns Jason—SPEAR! SPEAR! Spear by the Rated-R Reaper!" Zack exclaims. "Jason eats it with a spice of brutal authority!"

"Damn you, Ichigo! I truly hope Jason decimates you enough to kill your career, you bastard!" Barney snaps.

Making a quick getaway, Ichigo backs up to the ramp with a small grin as Jason rises up holding his abdomen and glaring at the challenger, then gets turned around and lifted onto Naruto's shoulders...and he nails the Ninja's Way! Naruto hooks the leg as Marshall drops to count the pin!

"Ninja's Way connects! For the second time, it connects, but can it pin Jason down completely?!" Markiplier questions.

1...

...

...

...

2...

...

...

...

...3!

"It does!" Zack says.

"HABUSKI! That's all she wrote!" Markiplier calls.

("I Will Not Bow" by Breaking Benjamin)

"Here is your winner, the ACW Undisputed Champion, Naruto Uzumaki!" Maria declares.

{Fast-Forward}

Naruto stands with his arms raised and the ACW Undisputed Championship belt in his hands while Jason is sitting against barricade holding onto his Hardcore Title, incredibly vexed over the fact he lost because his challenger screwed him over. The Orange Spark stands on the middle ropes at the corner and raises his title up high upon the showers of cheers...until they turned into heated boos when "Misery Loves My Company" by Three Days Grace hit the speakers and turns his attention to the stage as Sasuke Uchiha walks out, his Sharingan eyes slowly glaring towards the ring.

"Oh, no..." Zack gulps. "I don't think Sasuke is waiting two more days for the Three Stages of Hell to happen..."

"Making his presence felt in the PNC Arena at Raleigh, North Carolina...it would seem so," Markiplier states.

"Whatever happens the second one of these guys makes the first hit...we are staying the hell out of their way..." Barney muses.

As Sasuke is walking down the ramps to the ring at a moderate pace, Naruto steps down from the corner and stands in the middle of the ring with his title draped over his shoulder. By the time Sasuke reached ringside, he stops at his footsteps and just glares at Naruto in the ring as his theme song died. They've stared at each other for a good while as Naruto lets the title slip from his shoulder, but keeps it in his hand and Sasuke says, "To hell with what Alvarez said about suspension...I'm not waiting for Rebellion anymore...! I want you to SUFFER by my hands, Naruto Uzumaki! You've been on top of the mountain for too damn long!" The Orange Spark only stares with his stoic expression before turning to his title...and tosses it aside to the apron...then gestures with both hands for Sasuke to "come and get it."

The Lone Uchiha slowly begins to ascend the apron, stalking his pray like a venomous snake as Naruto stands ready for his rival with his hands resting on his knees and the crowd awaits the chaos to spill between them in suspension. Soon, Sasuke enters the ring through the ropes still slowly...

...

...

...

...he gets his other foot in the ring, back turned away from Naruto...

...

...

...

...

...

...AND TURNS AROUND FOR SPINNING BACK FIST, WHICH NARUTO DUCKS AND MAKES THE FIRST SHOT, THE TWO FINALLY COLLIDING IN A FURIOUS EXCHANGE OF FISTS TO EACH OTHER'S SKULLS!

"AND HERE WE GO! WE'RE SEEING A PREVIEW FOR WHAT'S TO COME AT REBELLION WHEN THESE TWO MEET IN THE THREE STAGES OF HELL MATCH! THEY'RE NOT GONNA WAIT ANY LONGER—ALVAREZ'S WARNING BE DAMNED!" Markiplier screams.

{Fast-Forward}

Sasuke bounces from the ropes and receives a kick to the midsection from Naruto, who drapes the arm over his shoulder, hooks the leg, lifts him over and plants the Fisherman Suplex—Sasuke lands on his feet! He nails one stiff Forearm to the temple and that was enough for Naruto to get knocked to the outside. The Lone Uchiha slithers out to follow and he pulls apart the top half of the steel steps as he prepares to attack Naruto.

"Sasuke has the steel steps in his hands and he's looking to put away Naruto quickly with them! Naruto better move if he doesn't want to get his skull cracked!" Zack shouts.

"No, let this happen! At the cost of Naruto being dumber than ever, do it, Sasuke!" Barney encourages.

Sasuke hoists the steps over his head and when Naruto turned around, Sasuke threw the stairs at him...

...

...and Naruto ducks it in the nick of time, evading the worst of a possible concussion! That enrages Sasuke enough to run at him and Naruto catches him with a Hip Toss, nailing his spine on the steps!

"Just in time Naruto evades his fate and Sasuke takes the bait as he suffers his own irony!" Kenji exclaims.

{Fast-Forward}

Naruto lifts Sasuke onto his shoulders as he is looking to put him through the announce table with the Ninja's Way, the commentators already gotten out of the way to ensure their safety...but Sasuke proved to be too stubborn to stay in his rival's grasp as he slips off his shoulders and throws him right over the announce table, nearly crashing into Kenji and Markiplier!

"Oh, sh*t!" Mark shouts in surprise, luckily out of the way.

"Kuso yarō! (Son of a bitch!) Sasuke escapes Naruto's grasp and throws him over our announce table! Bastard nearly hit me and Mark..." Kenji growls.

"You alright, Kenji?" Zack asks.

"Yeah, I'm fine, brother—GAH!" Kenji yells as he was grabbed by Sasuke and gets roughly thrown aside, crashing into a cameraman!

"Out of my f*cking way, Matsuo!" Sasuke shouts at the downed commentator before grabbing Naruto and throwing him over the announce table again.

"Sasuke, not giving a damn, shoved Kenji out of the way and knocked down our cameraman just to get to Naruto! This man has no respect or remorse for anyone! I'm sorry for my language, ladies and gentlemen, but this son of a bitch going to stop at nothing to get what he wants!" Markiplier exclaims, a snarl almost heard within his tone.

{Fast-Forward}

Even after fighting back, Sasuke deemed too much for the champion as he prepared to Punt Kick his head off clean from his shoulders. With a malicious and wicked grin, Sasuke continues revving his foot and Naruto slowly lifts his head up...

...

...

...Sasuke sprints forward, reeling his foot back...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...PUNT KICK DENIED BY MARSHALL ERIKSEN TACKLING HIM DOWN!

"THE VENOM IS INJECTED—WHAT THE HELL?! MARSHALL STOPS SASUKE! WHAT IN THE BIG BRO IN THE SKY'S NAME AM I SEEING?!" Barney yells in shock.

"REMEMBER WHEN MARSHALL TOOK THE JOB, HE SAID HIS REFEREEING IS LAW? HE F*CKING MEANS IT, BARNEY! HE'S TAKING HIS JOB TO HEART!" Markiplier states.

Marshall holds Sasuke back with a Half Nelson Choke as security finally shows up to make sure Naruto and Sasuke are separated and Jesse Alvarez appears as well...and he is NOT happy with what has ensued. Jesse slides in the ring to step in front of Sasuke with a heated glare, the two sharing the same angry stare, and Alvarez says, "I warned you, damn it! I warned you! Look what you two created! You couldn't wait for two damn days, burro?!"

The Lone Uchiha scoffs to reply off-mic, "Does it look like I promised you I'd stay away? Hell, no...this is what happens when you RESTRICT ME, Alvarez..."

"...Apparently so," Jesse replies grimly, then turns to the security that's keeping Naruto back. "Get Naruto out of here NOW. I'll deal with him later..."

"Security finally appearing after Marshall stops this chaos...and Jesse is NOT happy about this at all. You can't blame for his reaction," Markiplier states.

"I can! I wanted to see a FIGHT, man! Damn it, Marshall..." Barney grumbles.

"Hey, if he hadn't stopped Sasuke, then Naruto wouldn't show up and we'd have no main event!" Mark retorts. "This isn't UWE—no offense to them!"

"Oh, I think Maverick will take offense to that, knowing him nowadays, Marky," Barney quips.

The security escort Naruto out of the ring, but respectfully tells them he'll leave on his own. He grabs for his title belt and starts walking to the stage with it as Sasuke is held back by Marshall and Jesse. The survivor of the Uchiha Clan glares at Naruto, who has looked back with the belt draped over his shoulder. As he growls, Jesse queries, "You done being pissy, vato?" Sasuke turns his attention back to his boss...and just scoffs, responding with a nod. Jesse nods at Marshall to release him and he does so.

"...Kenji was right...nothing more than a monster filled with jealous and anger..." Markiplier shakes his head.

"Glad to know I'm right," Kenji says, putting his headset back on and returning to his seat with Zack, albeit rubbing his head. "Kuso, watashi no atama... (Damn, my head...)"

"You sure you're okay, Kenji?" Zack asks, obviously worried as he puts on his headset.

"I'm fine, brother, nothing serious... Can't say I'm shocked at Sasuke shoving me away to get to Naruto..." Kenji scoffs. "The cameraman alright?"

"Yes, he's being taken care of right now," Mark answers. "At least this moment of chaos is over...for now until Rebellion..."

Sasuke, strangely calm, decides to take his leave from the ring...but he actually stops himself, raising an eyebrow from Alvarez and making Marshall ready for anything else. He glances back at the GM and notes, "There are two things I need to also let you know..." The Latino Kid reluctantly asks what would it be...and Sasuke takes one more look at Naruto...

...

...

...

...

...

...whose eyes widen...

...WHEN SASUKE PLANTS JESSE WITH THE SHARINGAN IMPACT!

"OH, GEEZ! HE JUST RKO'D OUR BOSS!" Barney yells. "SASUKE, I SUPPORT YOU AND ALL, BUT THAT'S YOUR BOSS, MAN! HE WRITES OUR CHECKS, DAMN IT!"

"OH, WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED BY THIS COURSE OF ACTION?! WHY THE HELL AM I NOT SURPRISED?!" Kenji snaps.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THE POINT OF THAT?!" Markiplier screams. "HASN'T HE ALREADY DONE ENOUGH?!"

Sasuke rises to his feet as he catches a charging Marshall with another Sharingan Impact! Sasuke pounds the mat like a rabid animal, getting near a knocked out Jesse to note him, "That's for interrupting me...and a reminder for Heat Crash, Latino Kid...DON'T FORGET IT, YOU SON OF A BITCH." Security rushes in and Sasuke hightails it out of the ring, leaving through the barricade as he is being showered with a heated reaction by the audience. From afar, Naruto growls as he clutches onto his title and glares at Sasuke in the crowd.

The Lone Uchiha has already made his way up the arena steps and raised his arms in a Legend Killer manner while proclaiming, "At Rebellion, Naruto Uzumaki...Rebellion is where you will finally FALL! YOUR TITLE WILL BE MINE AND SO WILL YOUR SPOTLIGHT! I'M REGAINING WHAT TRULY BELONGS TO ME IN THE FIRST PLACE, YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Naruto shouts back with the title held above him, "IF YOU WANT THIS AND YOUR GLORY BACK, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO GET IT FROM MY COLD, DEAD HANDS! I'M KEEPING MY SPOT, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT! COME AND GET IT YOURSELF, SASUKE UCHIHA!"

"...With recent battles they've had these past two months...from their Unsanctioned Match at Spring Breakdown...to the Triple Threat Match involving Rogen Townsend at Reign in Blood...this one will make them look TAME," Markiplier implies with a morbid tone. "Their third and possibly final battle in ACW...will not be for the weak at heart..."

[Commercial Break]


Interview Segment – RC Bane w/Drew Malino

For the final interview of the night, RC Bane stands alone in the interview area with no interviewer around and it is obvious that the formerly known Red Murdock is not happy about it. He was getting pretty impatient on where is the interviewer supposed to be.

"This is ridiculous—I was told I was to be interviewed right now. Why is there no interviewer?" Bane questions, demanding to know.

"The new guy said he would be here. I didn't know he would be running late," answered a backstage crewmember off-screen.

"You're giving me someone who's new and running late... Jesus Christ," Bane grumbles...

...when a "bearded man" poked his head onscreen upside-down and said, "Yeah, what's up?" RC got a bit startled by surprise from his appearance and asks, "Who the hell are you?"

"You called my name, man! ...Okay, give me a sec," the bearded man says as he moves off-screen...then comes back as a young adult around his late teens or early twenties, fake beard removed, and a stylish hairstyle as he holds a microphone in hand. He introduces himself, "What's up? Hello! My name's Drew Malino and I'm your interviewer for tonight!"

Bane...only blinked twice at this introduction and the new interviewer, having the expression that says, "You're my interviewer? Seriously?" He had no idea who the hell Drew was and can only shake his head at his strangeness, deciding to hell with it and get this interview over with.

"So, Bane, we're close to this Battle Royale that will happen in mere minutes and you're in it for some reason. You got any words before you go out there and break people's backs?" Drew quips.

Murdock scoffs and answers, "First of all, don't compare me to a super villain from the Batman series. Second of all, there is a reason for me being in the Battle Royale and it a damn good one. Alvarez has seen what I've done outside ACW and even he knows what talent he's missed and overlooked due to his biased attitude long ago. He's seen me win the World Tag Team briefcase in PCUW, he's seen me in AUW as an AUW Universal and AUW Heavyweight Champion, and with that progress, he realized it and put me in this Battle Royale. Yet...I'm the only RR member in this match as Alpha & Omega are busy getting the tag titles they deserve, Kendra and her teammates are dealing with a team of women that are wanting their spot, Jason is making sure Ichigo never walks again, and Rukia is standing tall as the AIW Women's Champion. In this industry...only two ACW RR District Members are champions while, A&O, Kendra, and I aren't...at least for now. By that, I mean tonight will be my time to shine in this main event. I walk in with fourteen men unworthy of earning the final spot for the Fatal 4-Way except for me and I eliminate them all one by one. If you ask me, Zeke is too damn arrogant, Kenshin is past his prime, Hernan has no need for this to make himself 'relevant' again, Vergil needs to get over himself, Saul needs to stay in AIW, Mason Stone—who cares about Mason?—Edd is certainly worthless, Joey and Tristan are too little, too late, Nathan Drake is also past his prime, Spider-Man got LUCKY to enter this match, Devlin is all talk and no fight, the mysterious fifteenth contestant does not matter to me, and finally, as for PewDiePie... You know, I'd never thought you could bitch and moan and plead to the idiotic fans and friends just to get yourself in this tourney when there's a good reason for Alvarez putting him as an interviewer. Care to know what that is? He finds Felix Kjellberg an unfit wrestler in ACW and would rather have him work in the back than be in the squared circle. I'll be doing Alvarez a huge favor by eliminating Felix myself...

"What you and every one of these people in the arena and watching at home can expect is this...after I take out all fourteen other guys to enter the Fatal 4-Way and win, becoming the ACW International Champion...you will also expect Jason standing tall with the Hardcore Championship over Ichigo's corpse, Alpha & Omega celebrating their well-deserved win as the NEW World Tag Team Champions, and Kendra, Allison, and Eliza defeating The Four Horsewomen to earn their rightful shots and Kendra becoming the ACW Women's Champion afterwards... From there...the ACW RR District will stand proudly with the gold in our hands. It will be our time to finally shine...that much you can expect."

Drew can only stand silent after hearing RC Bane's statement before finally responding, "Since you've mentioned...it is going to be the Revolution's time in ACW, I wanna ask you this...do you know what time it is?"

"...Why are you asking me that?" RC asks with a deadpan expression.

"I just wanna know as I feel like it's..." Drew halts his sentence to look at the camera with a grin and proclaims, "Classy Monkey Time!"

And that is when Drew Malino's "Classy Monkey Time" hits and Drew rips his clothes off to reveal a suit and puts on his monkey mask, proceeding to perform his signature Classy Monkey Time dance. He soon dances away with the song fading out...and RC Bane now stands alone completely silent...baffled...yet with an extremely plain face as he pinches his nose bridge, then looks at the camera.

"Why is it this company attracts and hires idiots?" Bane asks before walking away, inciting some laughter from the audience.


Checking the competitors again...

"The New Enigma" Hernan Ortiz was shown watching a clip from where he won the UWE Omega Championship off of Nightmare at UWE WrestleNation for the first time and he was proud of that very moment. However, his smile of reminiscent disappeared and formed into small frown, remembering how irrelevant he became since then considering how arrogant he was after winning the title. He is on a mission to reinvent himself as a new man, especially since losing his UWE High Flyin' Championship. He clasps his hands together tightly, expressing fortitude within his body that he wants to win tonight's main event no matter what. Somewhere else, Kenshin Himura could be seen in his locker room finishing tying up his boots and standing up, preparing for his match coming soon. He's been through a lot in his deal with the arrogant Zeke Cage these few weeks and he's looking forward to personally eliminate him from the match himself. With a deep breath inhaled, then exhaled, Kenshin walks out of the room, heading to the Gorilla Position.


ACW Rebellion Match Card Rundown

"Hello, everybody, welcome back to Friday Night Ignition," Markiplier greets, "and to bring you an update after what just happened before the commercial break, thankfully, Jesse Alvarez and Senor Referee Marshall Eriksen are all right, but they do feel some pain from Sasuke's Sharingan Impact. The cameraman, however, is being treated for injuries by the EMTs. And now, moving on, in just a few moments, the match we've all been waiting for since the beginning of the tourney! Our first-ever Battle Royale to decide the fourth contestant for the International Championship in the Fatal 4-Way Match at Rebellion!"

"I was wondering when we were gonna get to it and now it's finally here! Fourteen men will be that very ring in just a few minutes and they will attempt to eliminate each other to earn themselves a spot in that Fatal 4-Way!" Zack proclaims.

"Guys, before we do get to this match, we head into the topic that is our match card for our fourth pay-per-view, ACW Rebellion, this Sunday," Kenji grins as "Uprising" by Muse hits the speakers and the TitanTron shows a background with the band members of Muse, "Official Theme Song" above ACW Rebellion, The Resistance album, and "Uprising" above Muse. "Firstly, we'd like to thank Muse for the official theme song of Rebellion, 'Uprising', from their album, The Resistance! As the Carter Young stated, rebellion is a synonym for revolution. Well, uprising is another synonym for rebellion."

"Kenji, my half-brother, does this song fit so damn well with our pay-per-view. I mean, hot damn, it gets me pumped up and ready to rebel!" Zack exclaims in excitement.

"Let's not have that, okay?" Kenji chuckles.

Mixed Tag Team Match
Jeremy Ellis and Rei Miyamoto vs. Jimmy Carmichael and Trish Warrington {PRE-SHOW}

"To help pump the crowd before the main show begins, Rebellion will be having a pre-show of their own and it kicks off with a type of rematch, featuring 'The Black Mamba' Jeremy Ellis and Rei Miyamoto teaming up against 'The Future Living Legend' Jimmy Carmichael and Trish Warrington in a Mixed Tag Team Match!" Zack declares. "These two respectively have been getting on each other's sides respectively since they met with Trish attacking Rei after losing to her and Carmichael picking on Ellis since the first episode of Ignition and these the couple are looking to even things up with their rivals."

Internet Championship, Interpromotional Open Challenge
Johnny Cage [c] vs. ? {PRE-SHOW}

"In case the fans didn't know, Jesse Alvarez discussed with Johnny Cage about a few weeks ago and with a successful agreement, Cage is going to defend his Internet Championship in our pre-show! Against who? Well, we have no idea! Not even Johnny knows!" Barney says. "It's an Open Challenge Match and whoever answers the call will be the challenger...and it's obvious Johnny is going to win. There's no way he's letting that bad boy go."

"Well, you can never really know what will happen," Zack muses.

Beowulf vs. Kurt Hudson
Stipulation: Should Kurt Hudson win, Beowulf must surrender his King of Blood crown to him

"Now getting to the main pay-per-view, it has been confirmed already 'The Beast of Geats' King Beowulf and 'The Billion Dollar King' Kurt Hudson will square off in the ring and if Beowulf loses, he is forced to surrender his crown—his #1 contender's spot for the ACW Undisputed Championship to Hudson and Hudson will be the new King of Blood," Markiplier states. "It is King versus King and only one King shall stand tall."

"This is the chance for Kurt to finally get what he deserved in the first place at Reign in Blood! That crown, that contendership does not belong to anybody but Kurt Hudson himself, people! He will rightfully claim his crown as the TRUE King of Blood!" Barney proclaims.

Ash Ketchum vs. Seto Kaiba

"Now officially confirmed, we will witness Ash Ketchum and Seto Kaiba going one-on-one with each other for the first time! After weeks of Kaiba's torment, Ash has shown he's had enough of his crap by destroying his precious accomplishments and thanks to that, we will see these two collide in the squared circle," Zack proclaims.

"And it is where we will see justice happen for Kaiba when he destroys and makes Ketchum pay for his heinous crimes! Ash should've just accepted this punishment and see you don't screw with Kaiba, but nope! He decides to be stupid and pull this crap. If he loses or is humiliated, he has no one to blame but himself!" Barney states.

Monster's Ball Match
Takashi Komuro vs. Yami Bakura

"This rivalry has grown from The Gods of Darkness assaulting Takashi and Kohta around three months ago, transitioning from a tag team rivalry to a singles rivalry with Takashi and Bakura being the last ones to avenge their respective teammates and we are going to see them maul each other alive like animals as they go through...Monster's Ball," Markiplier gulps.

"This is the first time Awesome Championship Wrestling will host such the most barbaric match in wrestling history and our first two competitors are these guys. Bakura says he has the advantage as he relies on the darkness and the darkness is his ally, having no need for food or water. Only the darkness will give him strength...while Takashi will only suffer and will prolong his suffering at the hands of the Spirit of Darkness!" Barney says.

Six-Woman Tag Team Match
Evil Beauty (Kendra Daniels, Eliza Hart, and Allison Wilson) vs. Mai Valentine & iGeneration (Carly Shay and Sam Puckett)

"Ever felt being territorial? Evil Beauty has since The Four Horsewomen formed and they are not going down without a fight. Announced by Lily Aldrin, Evil Beauty's Kendra Daniels, Eliza Hart and Allison Wilson will face Mai Valentine and iGeneration's Carly Shay and Sam Puckett of The Four Horsewomen to determine the next contenders for the Women's Championship and Women's Tag Team championship respectively!" Zack states.

"Neither faction is a saint and that doesn't matter as these women are not only fighting for the contendership, but also for the top spot as the true pair of females to be dominating the Women's Division! Evil Beauty has had their time, but I'm afraid it is now time for the Horsewomen to finally step in and take the throne," Barney says.

ACW Hardcore Championship, Hardcore Match
Jason Krueger [c] vs. Ichigo Kurosaki

"We've seen these two destroy each other, rip each other's skin and hair off, bleed large amounts of blood, watched them scream in pain and suffer in the worst ways imaginable...and we may see it again as we have Ichigo versus Jason II for the ACW Hardcore Championship," Markiplier claims. "Jason had thought he had Ichigo beaten, but the Rated-R Reaper is still not going down yet. Not without another fight. Jason had won at Reign in Blood, but Ichigo was the first man to stand and walk out and that leaves the question of who really won."

"Oh, don't bring those stupid arguments up, Mark. Jason won with a GORE through the barricade and that's all there is to it! Strawberry is only being a sore loser as he didn't like Jason being the winner. He should've just dealt with it and move on, but noooo! He wants another shot! Jason said that at Rebellion, he's going to make sure Ichigo never challenge him again and he is the only guy to walk out of the arena," Barney asserts.

ACW World Tag Team Championship, Triple Threat Tag Team Match
Altered Egos (Yugi Mutou and Atem) [c] vs. The Symbiotes (Venom and Carnage) vs. Alpha & Omega (Carter Young and Stan Terra)

"Now heading into the tag team division, we have, for the first time ever, a Triple Threat Tag Team Match where the ACW World Tag Team Championships are up for grabs! Altered Egos must defend them once again against not only Alpha & Omega, but The Symbiotes as well. Since the debut of Venom and Carnage, they have been DOMINATING," Kenji states.

"They've destroyed Yugi and Atem on their first night in Ignition II, then annihilated Alpha & Omega on RAMPAGE III and with lack of care for Alpha & Omega, they've allowed them to join Altered Egos and The Symbiotes into the tag title match. I don't know about you guys, but this could either go well for Venom & Carnage...or it could be the greatest mistake they've made," Zack implies.

ACW International Championship Tourney Finals, Fatal 4-Way Match
Dante [c] (U.S. Champion) vs. James Griffin [c] (Intercontinental Champion) vs. Luke Smith [c] (Television Champion) vs. ? (Battle Royale Winner)

"And this is where it all settles for the ACW International Championship Tourney, guys! For our finals, we have United States Champion Dante, Intercontinental Champion James Griffin, and Television Champion Luke Smith giving up their titles to decide who will be crowned as the inaugural ACW International Champion," Zack states.

"This is a Fatal 4-Way Match and we only have these three champions and one more participant to join this...but we don't know who it is yet as our Battle Royale Match will decide just that! All four of these guys will fight each other and only one will walk out being the final champion of the U.S., Intercontinental, and Television Titles and the first-ever International Champion," Barney notes.

"And finally..." Kenji announces as "Overcome" by Creed replaces "Uprising" and the TitanTron displays a match graphic as a two-finger saluting Naruto Uzumaki is shown standing with the ACW Undisputed Championship draped over his shoulder on the left side while a heavily scowling Sasuke Uchiha is on the opposite side with his back turned on the camera before turning around to glare forward with the following words below them...

ACW Undisputed Championship, Do or Die Three Stages of Hell Match
Naruto Uzumaki [c] vs. Sasuke Uchiha

Stipulation: Should Sasuke lose, he will never challenge Naruto into a world title match again as long as he's champion

"...our main event for Rebellion! The ACW Undisputed Championship is on the line in a Do or Die Three Stages of Hell Match!"

"Naruto must defend his title for the third time against Sasuke, but this may be the final time they'll face each other here...or so we assume. These two rivals will settle it all in two out of three falls: the first fall is a Street Fight, the second fall will be a Steel Cage, and the third and final fall, should they make it, it will be a Ladder Match, where the title will be hanged twenty feet high above the ring," Markiplier divulges.

"And in this match, if Sasuke does not win, he will no longer be able to challenge Naruto for a title match again as long as he's champion. These two guys are in a must-win situation as Sasuke must finally beat Naruto and Naruto wants to make sure he retains his title and never has anything to do with Sasuke again. I, for one, hope Sasuke gets what he wants and Rebellion will be his time to overthrow Naruto, finally ending his nightmare and becoming the first man to win the Undisputed Championship off of the current champion!" Barney says.

"We may never know what will happen in the night of Rebellion as you people can expect the possibly unexpected. That's for damn sure, so don't miss it! You'll regret it if you do!" Zack proclaims.

"Now that we've got this card out of the way...let us finally focus on the main event...the semifinals of the ACW International Championship Tourney—the Battle Royale!" Kenji grins. "Take it away, Miss Lopez!"


ACW International Championship Tourney Semifinals – 15-Man Battle Royale / Mini Royal Rumble, Main Event

Then, the camera focuses its attention to the ring where Maria Lopez stands in the middle of it with a smile and a mic in hand as the bell sounds off three times.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is your main event of the evening, your main event being a Mini Royal Rumble Match and it is set for the ACW International Championship Semifinals!" Maria announces to cheers. "Now in this bout, two men will arrive in this ring and start the match off, then every 90 seconds, a new wrestler arrives to enter the match and it will continue on until all 15 individuals have entered the match. The only way to eliminate your opponent is to throw him over the top rope and both feet must touch the floor. The last man remaining will not only win the match, but will also earn the spot as the fourth and final member in the Fatal 4-Way Match for the ACW International Championship at Rebellion!"

{Fast-Forward}

Kenshin Himura entered as #1 in the Mini Rumble, much to the crowd's pleasure at his appearance, but Kenshin knew he is at a bit of a disadvantage due to him entering at #1. Despite that, he must make sure he survives this and goes on to Rebellion as the fourth contestant; as "Heart of Sword" by T.M. Revolution dies down, he awaited for the next contestant who is the #2 entry...and that is when this one word played over the loudspeakers...

[AAAAAWWEEESSSSSOMMMMMEEEE!

I CAME TO PLAY!

I came to play; there's a price to pay

Time for you to get down on your knees and pray (I came to play!)]

("I Came to Play" by Downstait)

Entry #2: Zeke Cage

"And his opponent, entering as individual #2: from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 156 pounds, Zeke Cage!" Maria announces.

The crowd comes to a high negative reaction as Zeke Cage's music played and Kenshin scowls heavily to see him enter next, yet couldn't be gladder to finally get his hands on him...but after 30 seconds into the song, Zeke is nowhere to be seen yet.

"Where the hell is Zeke?" Kenji asks.

"He's the second entrant in this match. I don't understand why he hasn't shown up already," Zack says.

"Do you think something—wait a minute! Kenshin, look behind you!" Markiplier shouts.

Kenshin only focused his attention on the stage as he still patiently waits for Zeke Cage...who was actually behind him as he sneaks into the ring and strikes him with a vicious low blow! Kenshin goes down holding his groin in absolutely pain while Zeke stands above him with hands raised high in the manner of The Miz, smirking proudly and arrogantly as he's being showered by the audience.

"Look out, Ken—oh, God, the low blow!" Zack calls, cringing for Kenshin's pain.

"So since Zeke's not man enough to fight Kenshin face-to-face, he decides to attack him with a desperate maneuver?! That rookie is nothing more than a coward!" Kenji snaps.

"What are you saying, Kenny? This was the smartest idea he's ever accomplished! It isn't exactly a desperate attack when he's playing smart!" Barney grins. "Besides, Kenshin wouldn't have survived this match, anyway."

{Fast-Forward}

The match has already begun and Zeke has done nothing but beat the living hell out of Kenshin and the former assassin couldn't even get a chance to fight back. After nailing the Snap DDT to a kneeling Kenshin, Zeke rolls out of the ring and walks over to the timekeeper's area and roughly moves one of the ringside members away to grab a steel chair and fold it up. He rolls back into the ring and awaits Kenshin to rise and when he did...he eats a stiff steel chair shot to the skull, a vicious SMACK echoing around the stadium!

"Oh, the malicious chair shot to the cranium of Kenshin Himura! First, a low blow, and now this! Zeke Cage has no respect for anybody or anything for that matter! No respect for anyone but himself!" Markiplier states as Kenshin rests on the apron, his forehead now having blood pouring down. "Oh, God, his head busted open after that... Zeke is not giving Kenshin a chance to stand or fight back."

"Why should he, Mark?! This is WRESTLING, nothing else than THAT! You don't get chances here in this industry unless you earn it and Kenshin surely isn't earning it right now!" Barney states.

As referee Corey Jackson was scolding Zeke Cage and taking away his chair, Kenshin had brought himself to a corner to try and recover from the beating by Zeke, who pushed Corey out of his way and went after him again with a few more punches, kicks, elbows, and knees to the bleeding temple. After landing a Spinning Inverted Headlock Elbow Drop to a rope-hung Kenshin and dragging him back to the center of the ring, Zeke then forces him up onto his feet, disrespectfully slaps him around, and strikes him down with a Swinging Hangman's Neckbreaker. Kenshin is writhing holding his neck as Zeke sits in his spot with an arrogant grin and bobbing his head side to side.

"Innovative move by the arrogant and selfish character known as Zeke Cage," Kenji admits with a scowl.

"You judge too much, Kenny. Just sit back and relax like me as we watch Kenshin getting his ass handed to him and the clock ticks down," Barney smirks, earning a glare from the Japanese commentator.

"As the clock ticks down, who is the third entrant?" Zack asks.

3!

2!

1!

The buzzer rang as Zeke picks up Kenshin again for another Neckbreaker, which was executing and...

...

[Let everybody see

Their future here in me!

Just watch the wheels go round

I'll cheer as you go down! (Whoa!)

You're only smoke and mirrors (Whoa!)

You're only smoke and mirrors (Whoa!)

You're only smoke and mirrors (Whoa!)

You're only smoke and mirrors to ME!]

("Smoke and Mirrors" by Downstait)

Entry #3: Saul Linklater

One-half of The Praetorians, Saul Linklater, arrives at the stage to boos from the crowd with a cocky smile and he couldn't care less for their reception as he checks himself in the Mini-Tron with the mirror, then rushes down the ramp, heading to the ring as he removes his shirt and sunglasses and stops at ringside. He decides to stay back from it and gestures Zeke to handle his own business with Kenshin, putting his sunglasses back on.

"Saul Linklater entering at #3 and he's...not entering the ring? What the heck, man?" Zack scratches his head.

"He's allowing Zeke to continue his business with Kenshin as he stays out of the ring...SMART! God, I love this guy!" Barney laughs. "This Mini Royal Rumble has been awesome so far already!"

{Fast-Forward}

Eventually, Zeke "got bored" with beating up Kenshin and decides to finish him off with a Cage Breaking Finale, holding his bloody head in a Three-quarter Facelock as he revs up his leg...

...

...but he stops. He actually lets Kenshin drop to his knees, still keeping the Facelock in hold as he is pondering in his thoughts. (Zack: Zeke stopped... What is he thinking now? ; Kenji: Is he deciding to just throw Kenshin out of the ring instead of demolishing him much longer...?) The arrogant Cage continues his thinking for a while and loosens his grip on Kenshin's head, giving sighs of relief from the crowd and the commentators (minus Barney, who groans)...but he actually twists his head and holds him in an Inverted Three-quarter Facelock!

"I knew it! Cage isn't through just yet! He has Kenshin in a reverse Facelock for something else and it doesn't look like it's going to go pretty for him!" Kenji shouts. "Cage, don't you even think about doing it!"

"Too late, Benny! Do it, Zeke! FINISH HIM!" Barney urges à la Mortal Kombat.

With a wide and cocky grin, Cage revs his foot up and forward once more...and DRILLS KENSHIN'S HEAD WITH AN INVERTED SNAPMARE DRIVER!

"GOODNESS GRAVY, MAN! Kenshin's body has completely collapsed after getting his head driven into the canvas with that Inverted Snapmare Driver!" Markiplier cringes.

As the crowd continues filling the arena up with vicious boos towards Zeke, said competitor drags a limp Kenshin on his feet and brings him over the top rope, where he pushes him off with ease and finally eliminates him from the match. Fans were still booing very loudly at Zeke as he dusts his hands off with an arrogant grin, seeing how it was "too easy." Zeke gestures for Saul to get in the ring right now, but the ex-S.P.P.D. cop responds that he's "good right outside for now." He then goes back to look over Kenshin and mocks him, "You had this coming to you, Ken-Ken! You had it coming to ya for a good while, old man!"

"Zeke Cage, everybody! The future of this industry and there's no doubt he's going to be the first-ever ACW International Champion!" Barney applauds with laughter. "Bye-bye, Kenshin! Hope you did hurt yourself on the way down, hahahah! ...You know, while it wasn't Hernan that is eliminated first, I can work with this."

"At least Zeke is finally done with his beating on Kenshin Himura now. As I have admitted before, he does have the talent it takes to be a great athlete, but there is no denying the arrogance and selfishness this young man possesses," Mark states. "And as the clock ticks down, we can only wonder who the third entrant is!"

Does whatever a spider can!

Here comes the Spider-Man!]

("Spider-Man" by Aerosmith)

Entry #4: "The Amazing" Spider-Man / Peter Parker

When that song played, the entire arena suddenly grew in loud cheers for the Web-head, "The Amazing" Spider-Man, as he appears lowering himself via web and starts swinging himself back and forth before letting go and lands on the ramps in his signature pose, causing fireworks to explode and looks up with a grin under his mask before rushing to the ring while Saul still stays out of the ring for now.

"And here comes the high-flying, web-swinging, charismatic wall-crawler! Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man making his Ignition debut!" Zack calls.

"He isn't going to be around for much longer as Zeke's going to take him out quickly before Spidey can even make the first move!" Barney claims.

Peter slides in the ring and goes right under and through the legs of Zeke as he runs to the ropes, springboards and nails a Hurricanrana. When Zeke rose to his knees, Spidey strikes his chest with a hard Shoot Kick, causing him to shout in pain and he continues yelping in pain as Spidey still keeps the shoot kicks going to the crowd chanting "YES! YES! YES!" He then reels the leg back, the crowd anticipating it as they go, "Ohhhhhhhhhh...!" and he swings the leg...Zeke ducks at the last second, rolls Spidey up and lifts him up on his shoulders! Zeke keeps him in his grasp as he runs to the ropes, attempting to eliminate him, but Spidey flips back and Zeke goes over the rope...and lands on the apron as neither one nor both of his feet hit the ground! Both men roll back in the ring and Zeke grabs Spider-Man for the self-proclaimed Awesome Combo as he looks for the Inverted Facelock Backbreaker when Spidey leaps over Zeke, now having him in an Inverted Facelock...and adds insult to injury by executing Zeke's Awesome Combo on him, much to the crowd's amusement!

"Well, it seems we're seeing Spider-Man taking a page out of Cage's book and performs Zeke's Awesome Combo! Looks rather better than the original, might I add," Kenji chortles.

"No! That ain't right at all! No one executes that combo better than Zeke Cage himself! That's Zeke's Awesome Combo—patent pending—NOT Spider-Man's Weak Ass Combo!" Barney shouts as Saul suddenly appears to drill Parker with his Switchback (Rolling Cutter). "Ha! Thank you, Saul, for bringing order and justice!"

"Hm. Took him a while to get in the ring. Nonetheless, now he's in the match, and he and Zeke are working together to put away the Web-crawler," Zack observes.

{Fast-Forward}

Saul and Zeke cornered the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man with punches and kicks to him respectively and they bring him out of the corner with a Double Irish Whip. Peter hits back-first into the turnbuckles and Linklater then whips Cage towards the superhero, who evades him with a forward roll on his back RVD style and leaps right on top of Saul with a Running Double Knee Thesz Press to the chest at the same time the buzzer rang!

("Get Ready to Fly" by GRITS)

I am, I am...]

Entry #5: Edd

Cheers garnered up in the arena as Edd walks out with his arms splayed in an A.J. Styles manner before running down to the ring, removing his jacket along the way.

"Another fellow high-flying genius comes to the match and his name is Edd, baby!" Zack calls with a grin.

Just as Zeke had stopped Spidey from gaining the momentum with a sharp elbow to the back of his head, Edd enters the ring and counters his Clothesline with a Float-over DDT, drilling his head into the mat. He then gets a fist strike to the head by Linklater, who Irish Whipped him to the ropes and Edd flies back at him with an Edd-cyclopedia, planting the Inverted DDT off the Springboard Moonsault transition! Saul rolls away and out of the ring to recover as Edd grabs onto Cage, who elbows his gut and rakes his eyes. Zeke went for the Cage Breaking Finale, but Spidey grabs him at the wait from behind and drives his head down with a Release German Suplex! Peter discusses something with Edd as their voices are inaudible to hear...and Edd nods to him with a smirk as he goes to climb the top turnbuckle. Spidey lines Zeke to his feet and brings him down with the Spider Bite, which Edd follows with an Edducational Press!

"What is this madness happening right now?!" Barney exclaims.

"It's called teamwork between two geniuses and it's working just fine between Peter and Eddward!" Kenji declares.

As Zeke removes himself from the ring to regain himself, Edd and Peter see they're the only ones in the ring and considering they have respect for each other, they extend hands for a handshake...before kicking each other right in the midsection and the two get down to business.

"Both these two are fellow geniuses and have respect for each other, but they can't risk going easy on each other as there is too much at stake! Only one can win this Battle Royale and there's no telling who until then!" Markiplier utters.

{Fast-Forward}

Spidey and Double D have each other by the ropes as the former sends a forearm to the face and then Saul runs in to throw them over the top rope! Saul brags of his first TWO eliminations to the fans...when Edd and Parker actually hung on! They quickly get stand on the apron and simultaneously springboards off the top rope and take down Saul with a Double Dropkick!

"Saul thought he outsmarted the two geniuses, but it seems he didn't pay closer attention to them and he paid the price!" Zack states.

Zeke comes back in as well and Clotheslines them down, then brings Spidey to the ropes to try to eliminate him as the buzzer sounds off...

...

In the flash of the blade!

In a corner forgotten away!

Entry #6: Vergil

As that music hit the speakers, fans were split down the middle in the positive and negative reception as Vergil came to the stage with Arkham by his side and the two nod to each other before the elder son of Sparda dashes to the ring at high speed.

"The self-proclaimed True Son of Sparda arrives at the PNC Arena and he's wasting no time to get in the ring!" Barney states.

"Let's see if he can finally get in the Fatal 4-Way and face his brother along with two other champions," Kenji says.

Vergil slides in the ring and nails a stiff Big Boot to the face of Double D, nearly decapitating his head! He sees Saul coming and catches him with an Arm-trap Swinging Neckbreaker, but Saul elbows the back of his head to escape. Linklater then Irish Whips Vergil to the ropes and jumps with a Leapfrog as Vergil returns, but the half-demon kicks Saul in the midsection on the way down. Then, he sets him up in a Vertical Suplex stance...then drops him with the Powerbomb, nailing the Power of Sparda! Meanwhile, Zeke manages to have Spidey over the top rope, but Peter gets his feet on the apron and nails a Gamengiri, making Cage stumble back into the hands of Vergil, who drives his head down with the Judgement Cut DDT (Spike Leg-hook DDT)! He sees Pete standing on the apron and Big Boots his face in, sending Spidey flying off the apron and eliminating him...or so he thought as the Wall-crawler latches on the barricade with ease!

"Vergil is on a high roll here and Spider-Man—is NOT eliminated! Look at him, he's sticking right onto the barricade!" Zack shouts.

"Oh, that can't be legal! He's obviously using his adhesive powers to help himself stay in the match! Disqualify him, damn it!" Barney yells.

"There are no disqualifications in this match, Stinson...and if John Morrison can do it, why can't he?" Kenji asks.

Spider-Man quickly brings himself on the barricade and hops off it back onto the apron, lining up Vergil, who just nailed Edd with a Lariat, and the masked vigilante performs a springboard variation of the Phoenix Dragonrana, his Jumping Spider...AND HE GETS SLAMMED DOWN WITH A MALICIOUS SPINEBUSTER FROM VERGIL! The elder son of Sparda stands to let out a screaming roar of determination as he stands tall above the rest of his opponents and proclaims, "I will NOT let my ambitions crumble! I will NOT show any mercy until I get what I want!"

"You heard him right, ladies and gentlemen... Vergil isn't going to let anyone get in his way, not until he completes this part of his ambition!" Markiplier implies.

{Fast-Forward}

At one corner, Vergil was kicking down Edd as Saul and Spidey were dealing with each other and Zeke was taking his time to recover in his corner, letting them all fight it out and waits for the right opportunity to strike. Spider-Man charged at Linklater for the Spider Bite, but he saw it coming a mile away as he ducks it and brings him down with a Judas Neckbreaker at the same time the buzzer rang...

[This is my town...

It's my town! It's my town! It's my town!

Entry #7: "The New Enigma" Hernan Ortiz

Hernan Ortiz rushes out of the Gorilla Position to cheers and wastes little time to run to the ring.

"Our seventh entry is The New Enigma himself, Hernan Ortiz! The young man from San Diego was the first to join Battle Royale by beating Godzilla and he's going make sure he keeps his promise on joining the Fatal 4-Way competitors!" Kenji states.

"Which it won't happen at all because he's going to be the SECOND guy to be eliminated!" Barney adds.

Hernan enters the ring with an Evan Bourne slide-in fashion and takes down Linklater with a Leaping Flying Clothesline! Spidey runs up to Hernan, who catches him with a Double Leg Takedown, grabs onto his hands and elevates himself as Peter pushes his feet up to Hernan's gut. Proceeding in an exchange of chain wrestling, Hernan stands on his feet with Spidey kneeling on top of his shoulders, then he rolls for the Sunset Flip Powerbomb, which backfires as Hernan stands and Dropkicks the Web-head's face in. Zeke comes speeding at him with a Double Axe Hammer, but Hernan uses that momentum of running to toss Zeke right over the top turnbuckle in the corner and he BARELY saves himself from being eliminated, much to the crowd's disappointment! Vergil whips Edd towards Hernan, who nails him in the gut and executes him with a Chaos Breaker (Front Facelock Stunner)! Vergil and Hernan are the only ones standing they stare at each other in the middle of the ring. As they stare each other down, Hernan speaks off-mic, "I respect ya a lot, Vergil...and I understand you have your goals to accomplish, but I have my own to earn as well... I'm not letting you get in my way of that." Vergil glances to his right before looking back at The New Enigma and replies, "That's where you're wrong," then JABS him right in the jaw! Hernan staggers, but he fires back with his own and the two exchange a fury of fists in the ring!

"Fists are flying around with Vergil and Ortiz! These two have important missions to complete and they're not going let it all go to waste!" Zack exclaims.

"C'mon, Verge, throw Ortiz out of the ring already so we don't have to see this waste of talent anymore!" Barney implores.

{Fast-Forward}

Hernan shoves Vergil into a corner and runs up at him for the Monkey Flip, but Vergil evades him as he lands on the ropes and before he can do anything, Vergil clubs him from behind and plants him with a sickening Falling Neckbreaker from the elevated position! Meanwhile, Spider-Man is attacking a downed Zeke with a Rope-aided Corner Dropkick while Edd is struggling to stay in as Saul Linklater is also struggling to throw him over the top rope. He manages to do so, but Edd thrusts his shoulder into the midsection and follows it up with a Slingshot Somersault Senton.

"Nearly nine minutes into this match and no one has been eliminated yet since Kenshin himself. These men really want to win this match and they're not going to stop until one is left standing," Kenji implies.

"Well, as you say that, bro, we're about to have our eighth entry at the nine minute mark!" Zack hollers.

3!

Entry #8: Joey Wheeler

Joey Wheeler walks out to the stage decked out in Motor City Machine Guns esque gear similar to Chris Sabin's attire, representing for the Domino City Machine Guns. He cracks a grin as he flicks his nose and runs down to the ring.

"And here comes one-half of the Domino City Machine Guns, Joey Wheeler! He looks ready to fight!" Markiplier says.

"Let's hope he doesn't lose badly as he did when he embarrassed himself on CCW Ozone 41," Barney jokes smugly.

Joey slingshots himself over the rope and EATS a Superkick from Edd! Joey stumbles to the ropes while completely dazed...and rebounds off the ropes with a Pendulum and knocks Edd down with a vicious Wheeler Rage! Feeling pumped, Joey shouts, "It'll take a lot more than a kick to take me down, man! Ya feel me!?" He sees Saul standing and grabs him from behind to plant him with In Your Face!, a Full Nelson Facebuster! Then, Vergil comes in with a Big Boot to the face of Joey, stopping him from gaining any further adrenaline and picks him up for a Force Edge, but Wheeler spins out of it, kicks his gut, and drives his head with the Chump's Luck (Snap Double Arm DDT)!

"Vergil nearly stopped Joey's momentum, but the, well, self-proclaimed 'Godfather of Games' keeps it rolling!" Kenji says.

"Oh, come on, how hard is it to put away an idiot?! Tony did it with ease last time!" Barney states.

{Fast-Forward}

Joey is now nailing multiple fists to the temple of The New Enigma in the corner, then Irish Whips him to the opposite one, but gets countered. He hits back-first into it, Hernan latches onto him for the Monkey Flip and performs it perfectly, landing Joey on his back. As he stands, Saul shoves him to the ropes and he and Zeke attempt to throw him out of the ring until the buzzer sounds off...followed by the sounds of a motor running.

("Motor City" by Adam Skaggs)

Entry #9: Tristan Taylor

The crowd breaks into cheers once again for Tristan Taylor, who's decked out in M.C.M.G. esque gear similar to Alex Shelly's attire, also representing for the Domino City Machine Guns, and he runs down the ramps as fast as he can.

"Another representative of the Domino City Machine Guns, guys! Tristan Taylor has arrived to make the rescue!" Zack proclaims.

"Quick, Zeke! Saul! Take out Joey before he gets in the ring! Hurry!" Barney advises.

Taylor slides in and Forearm Clubs the back of Saul and strikes a Forearm Smash to Zeke, stopping them from fully eliminating Joey. With the two Yu-Gi-Oh! characters united as The Domino City Machine Guns, Joey and Tristan grin at each other before nailing a Double Superkick to Zeke! The two then grab him to throw him over the top rope...and he somehow still stays in the match, hanging onto the ropes for dear life! Unaware of it, Joey and Tristan ready their tag team dominance as the latter catches Edd off the Hurricanrana and he throws him over to a corner with the Turnbuckle Powerbomb. Then, the two run right at Double D to nail a Domino City Machine Gun Sandwich, crushing his head in with the vicious kicks in front of his skull and to the side of it! Sadly for him, Joey and Tristan weren't through yet as the former lifts him onto his shoulders and turns around while the latter climbs the top rope and grabs his head. After that, the Domino City Machine guns execute a Sitout Powerbomb (Joey) / Shiranui (Tristan) combo, Made in Domino! Joey stands on his knees, feeling more pumped up after that tag team move as he high-fives Tristan with a grin.

"Look at the teamwork between Wheeler and Taylor! They're on fire so far! Alone, they are great, but together, they're unstoppable!" Markiplier calls.

"Someone has to put a stop to this joke right now before it gets worse!" Barney panics.

{Fast-Forward}

While Joey was jabbing punches to Vergil, Tristan had gotten Spider-Man up in the air and drives his head down with It Came From Japan (Straitjacket Scoop Brainbuster). But then, he had gotten taken down with a Judas Neckbreaker from Linklater, who then follows it a Leaping Elbow Drop to the chest. Meanwhile, Zeke was performing Shoulder Thrusts into a cornered Hernan into the turnbuckles; he lifts him on the top turnbuckle to push him down for the elimination, but Hernan kicks his face in and takes this chance to climb to his feet on the ropes. When Zeke turned around, Hernan nails him with a Diving Double Knee Drop and that was just in time for the buzzer to ring!

Entry #10: "The Dark Saint" Mason Stone

The fans were giving a nice mixed reaction, not too loud nor too quiet, as "The Dark Saint" Mason Stone appears onstage...with a few "toys" with him, holding a trashcan full of weapons such as kendo sticks, trashcan lids, 2x4s, and has a steel chair in hand and he's...GRINNING like a sadistic madman as he marches his way to the ring.

"Former and inaugural Intercontinental Champion Mason Stone is here and... Oh, my, look at that expression on his face and the 'toys' he's brought along. He's ready to express the meaning of the word 'HARDCORE'," Kenji says.

"I guess those times of being irrelevant finally made him go coo-coo. Eh, bound to happen," Barney quips with a shrug.

By the time, Mason got to ringside, he tosses the trashcan over into the ring and smashes his steel chair right onto the skull of Hernan! Stone wastes no time to enter the ring and jabs the chair into the gut of Linklater, then smash it right on his spine! Tossing the chair aside, Mason pulls out one of the kendo sticks and is swinging it like crazy onto anyone coming in his way! Fans were now getting intrigued by this side of Mason they should've seen long ago as cheers started rising. Mason had already nailed the kendo stick to the gut and spine of Edd, then to the arm and forehead of Zeke—the forehead shot causing him to go down and thrash around while nursing it—and another to the gut of Spider-Man after ducking a Dropkick. Tristan and Joey pick up trashcan lids to stop Stone's momentum, but as he ducked their attacks and turned around, he jabs the stick into Tristan's midsection and nails a vicious shot over Joey's skull, causing it to break, and follows it with a new version of Breaking the Light (Single Knee Facebuster)! The Hardcore Foundation's leader releases a determined scream with the broken cane in hand, getting 79% of the audience on his side.

"Where has THIS Mason Stone been since he won the Intercontinental Championship?! That's what I'm wondering, man! That dude has just cleaned house with everyone in the Battle Royale!" Zack exclaims.

"You know, if he had shown this more often, perhaps maybe he wouldn't be here and wouldn't have lost his title in the first place," Barney scoffs.

Stone throws his broken kendo stick out of the ring as he sees Vergil glaring up at him while picking up a fresh kendo stick of his own and grabbing another to toss it at Mason, who catches it. The (self-proclaimed) True Son of Sparda twirls the weapon in hand and poses in his stance, gesturing for Mason to fight him. The Dark Saint cricks his neck as he holds his kendo stick out, muttering, "I should've been like this long ago..." The two engage in a battle of kendo sticks, Mason being quick to evade Vergil's attacks while trying to get a few good hits in. This was going on for a short moment until Zeke nailed Stone upside the head with a steel chair! He is seen with a busted forehead as a bump is clearly exposed from the kendo shot, obviously not happy about it, as he is mercilessly smashing the kendo stick over his body before throwing it down on the mat in frustration and anger.

{Fast-Forward}

The Battle Royale resumes what it is as Mason has been pushed to a corner by Zeke and he is pressing his foot against his throat, trying to choke him out before kicking his face in. Meanwhile, Vergil is attempting to push Spider-Man over the top rope, Edd is fighting back at the Domino City Machine Guns, and Saul is regaining himself as the buzzer sounds off...

Entry #11: "The Uncharted Thief" Nathan Drake

A shower of cheers fills the PNC Arena as "The Uncharted Thief" Nathan Drake walks out and down the ramps at a fast pace and Saul stands in the center of the ring as he has been waiting to meet with him.

"The Uncharted Thief appears at #11 and it seems Linklater has been looking forward to collaborate with Drake in fighting fashion!" Zack observes.

"Kick him out of the ring the second he gets in, Saul! It'll save us all the trouble!" Barney says.

Nathan enters the ring and both treasure hunter and ex-cop start trading fists in the ring! Nate seems to have the early going until Saul landed a forearm shot to the cranium, sending Nate stumbling to the ropes. Linklater pulls Nate in for a Linklater DDT, but he spins out of it, sets him in the Inverted Facelock and plants him with The Adventurer's Welcome! He stands with a grin and suddenly ducks a trashcan shot from Zeke, then kicks him in the gut to snatch the trashcan and nails it right over the rookie's head! Nate then grabs onto Zeke and throws him right over the corner and top rope, Zeke goes down...but he catches himself on the way, his feet INCHES away from touching the ground!

"That is the fourth time Zeke has saved himself from nearly being eliminated! Another close call for him!" Kenji implies.

"This shows why deserves to be the winner of this whole match, Lenny! He wants it that badly!" Barney proclaims.

"Not as badly as Nathan Drake, though!" Zack adds.

The Uncharted Thief turns his attention to Linklater, who was at the ropes, and when he got close, Saul strikes his gut with a stiff knee. Saul now has Drake at the ropes as he goes for the Clothesline, but the thief Back Body Drops him over the ropes. Luckily for Saul, he lands his feet on the apron and when Nate looked back, Saul swings a fist to him, but Nate blocks it and swings a fist of his own...but actually pokes both his eyes out! Saul shouts in pain as Drake smirks and nails a Forearm Smash to the head, making Saul fall off the apron and crash on the floor!

"Nathan Drake gets the elimination and his name is Saul Linklater! Fourteen minutes and eight seconds in and Saul is the second out of this Mini Rumble!" Markiplier states.

"Ah, damn it! I hope you get your ass eliminated soon, Drake!" Barney growls.

Nate leans against the ropes with a smug grin and says off-mic to Saul, "I told you, kid... Your luck was gonna run out on ya."

{Fast-Forward}

Punches being traded and elimination attempts occurred until the buzzer rang...and pyrotechnics explodes from the top of the stage.

Entry #12: "The Whole Damn Show" Duke Devlin

Cheers broke out loudly for "The Whole Damn Show" Duke Devlin, who walks out with a cocky grin and gives an RVD-like taunt for "The Whole...Damn...Show!" before running down the ramps to the ring.

"Another wrestler joins the Battle Royale and his name is Duke Devlin, The Whole Damn Show! The former and inaugural Television Champion is set to join the Fatal 4-Way and get back at Luke Smith for Reign in Blood!" Markiplier divulges.

The second Duke slid in the ring, he nails the Van Daminator, his Dice Shot as he calls it, right in the face of Nathan Drake! Devlin evades a Dropkick from Edd next and sends Shoot Kicks to the abdomen and right leg repeatedly before striking him down with a Jumping Spinning Sole Kick. He then nails a Spinning Heel Kick to a running Hernan and seeing he's lying next to the ropes, he grins and runs to the other side, rolls forward, and lands on top of Ortiz with Rolling Thunder, Roll the Dice to be precise! Afterwards, he kicks Spider-Man, lifts him up with a Vertical Suplex and plants him with Snake Eyes, his Sitout Gordbuster! That is when Devlin heads to the top rope, eyeing his supine opponent and dives off with the Five-Star Frog Splash!

"Devlin is on fire here in the Battle Royale! He's showing examples of why he's known as 'The Whole Damn Show'!" Kenji exclaims.

"Someone get pretty boy out of here already!" Barney calls.

Devlin stumbles holding his abs in pain and Vergil grabs him to throw him over!

...But he was able to stay alive as he hangs onto the ropes! He rolls back in the ring and gets on with the match.

{Fast-Forward}

Zeke rests against the ropes with a bit of blood still running down on his face from the bumped and busted forehead. Mason Stone sees him and looks to take him out of the match with Breaking the Light, but Cage sends a Forearm Smash to his head. He runs up to Mason, who pops him up and snatches him on his shoulders! The Dark Saint runs forward to Powerbomb him out of the ring...and when he reaches the ropes, Zeke flips himself back to bring Mason over...and Stone lands on the floor while Zeke lands on the apron, still alive in the match!

"Fifth time Zeke saved himself and adds a second elimination to his record with Mason Stone, the third man out! Man, really thought Stone could've lasted longer," Zack sighs.

"At least he left one hell of an impression, brother," Kenji replies. "But in any case, we're about to have our thirteen entrant as the clock counts down!"

Entry #13: "The Virus" RC Bane

The cheers finally go into boos as Rookie Revolution member, RC Bane, walks out with a stern expression on his face, more focused in completing his ambition and not giving a damn about anything else.

"Finally, the idiotic and biased cheers are OVER! A REAL wrestler arrives into the Mini Rumble!" Barney grins.

"The Virus is set to keep his word, no matter whoever stands in his way," Mark muses.

Bane enters the ring and Clotheslines both Joey and Tristan down, then nails a Step-up Enzuigiri to a cornered Hernan. Zeke flies at him, but RC catches him with an Exploder Suplex and he catches a running Devlin with a Snap Scoop Powerslam, one impactful enough to make Randy Orton proud. He then follows it up with a Springboard Moonsault off the ropes and lands it right on Duke. Spidey blows him down with a Northern Lariat and puts him in a corner to lift him on the top turnbuckle. Peter then grabs hold of him under his arms and goes for the Adhesive Bomb when it gets countered into a Diamond Dust! Bane then lines a dazed Spider-Man to his feet, kicks him in the midsection, bends him over, lifts him up with a Virus Impact (Gutwrench Powerbomb) and sends him over the top rope, landing Spidey hard on the padded floor!

"And Spider-Man is out of the match! The Web-head gave himself a good run, but it seems he couldn't stop the inevitable," Kenji says.

Hernan goes after Bane and the two start throwing punches at each other. Nathan Drake has Vergil in a corner, nailing multiple Turnbuckle Thrusts with his shoulder. He then carries Vergil up to attempt elimination, but the swordsman counters with a solid Back Elbow. Vergil hoists the treasure hunter on the top rope, preparing to perform a Yamato until Nate takes an easy way out by raking his eyes and punching him afterwards. Drake lines him up from the skies, ready for a dive attack and JESTER NAILS HIM RIGHT UP HIS TEMPLE WITH HIS SCEPTER!

"What the hell—where did Arkham come from?!" Zack shouts.

"He took the opening to change into his alter ego, Jester, and snuck up on Nathan with that scepter!" Mark states.

Jester quickly hops down from the apron as Nate was holding his head in pain, staying on the turnbuckle before getting his jaw jacked with a Big Boot from Vergil, sending him crashing down on the floor! The clowned fool cackles at Nate's misfortune while pointing at him, most of the audience booing at him and Vergil as they despised how Nate was taken out.

"The Uncharted Thief has now been taken out of the equation by Vergil, but not without the help of Jester...and I'm not even sure he noticed it," Kenji implies.

"Whether he did or not, Vergil said he's going to do whatever it takes to win this match or die trying; as he said earlier, man, honor is OUT the window!" Barney states.

{Fast-Forward}

Mostly everyone in the ring were trying to recover as Double D is looking for the Clash of the Eds on Zeke, but he suddenly lifts him up on his shoulders and nails the Death Valley Driver. Then, a few audience members stand on their feet to await the next entry and they know exactly who he is as the last guy to enter the tourney besides the mysterious fifteen entrant, watching the clock count down.

"Zeke Cage drilling Edd's head with a DVD—the Death Valley Driver—and look at the fans in the arena. They're waiting for the next entry as the timer ticks and we all know exactly who it is!" Zack remarks.

"Oh, come on, not this guy!" Barney groans.

[His name is PewDiePie!

(PewDiePie...!)

("His Name is PewDiePie" by Roomie)

Entry #14: Felix "PewDiePie" Kjellberg

The "Bros" in the attendance cheer loudly as PewDiePie arrives to the stage with a wide grin and a clenched right fist. He raises up his fist for his "Bro Army" and runs down to the ring with a determined and fierce expression.

"Here comes the man who recently defeated Adrian Blake earlier tonight to earn this opportunity into the Battle Royale! And his name is PewDiePie, entering at #14!" Markiplier exclaims.

"Bane! Zeke! Someone take him over the top rope NOW!" Barney begs.

PewDiePie enters the ring with a slide and ducks a Clothesline from RC, rebounds off the ropes and jacks his jaw with the Bro Fist! Edd charges at him and ducks the Bro Fist, jumping off the ropes with a Springboard Forearm Smash, but Felix evades the attack, bounces off the ropes and flies at Edd with a Cannonball Senton, better to be called Wrecking Meatball (Cannonball Senton, sometimes to a standing opponent)! Ducking a Big Boot from Vergil, Pewds hops on the second rope and lands a Springboard Crossbody, one he calls I Believe I Can Fly! As he rolls off, Pewds then Discus Clotheslines Devlin down and sees him in a perfect position as he hits the ropes and performs the Ridin' Dirty. He stands up with a chuckle and says, "You ain't got sh*t on me, Dukey." After that, he snatches Hernan with a Scoop Slam and climbs to the top, where he leaps off with Bob's Spinning Power of Justice (A.J. Styles' Spiral Tap)!

"Felix is dominating the competition in the ring! There is no stopping him right now!" Kenji shouts.

"Someone has to! We can't let this go on! I know Jesse won't let this crap go on!" Barney exclaims.

Edd comes back with a kick to Pewds' stomach and sets him up for the Clash of the Eds, lifting him off his feet, but Felix fights out of it and Back Body Drops him over the top rope! However, unaware of it, Edd lands on the apron and he lines Kjellberg for a springboard maneuver as he leans back, holding the ropes—ANTHONY PADILLA STRIKES HIM WITH A LOW BLOW!

"Edd is looking to get back in the ring—ANTHONY! ANTHONY WITH THE LOW BLOW!" Zack yells. "SMOSH IS HERE!"

"I THOUGHT THOSE IDIOTS WERE TRAPPED IN THEIR LOCKER ROOM WITH THE EL MONGO STINK BOMB BY THE DORKS!" Barney shouts. "I call freaking shenanigans!"

"It seems they've managed to escape and get vengeance for that prank. They're not going down and take their crap like that!" Kenji implies...before silently retching, pinching his nose as he can smell the stink. "On second thought, they've brought that crap with them."

As Edd holds his groin and still clings onto the rope while glaring at the smug YouTubers, he returns his attention to PewDiePie, who Superman Punches right across the face with the Bro Fist and Edd, knocked right out, collapses down to the floor! Smosh then take their departure through the barricade before the other two Eds can show up and Pewds could even notice.

"We have our sixth elimination and it's Double D of the Erupting Eds. Eddy isn't going to be happy about this after seeing that, that's for sure," Markiplier muses.

{Fast-Forward}

Currently, all eight of the wrestlers still in the match as of now are either trading punches, kicking one another down, shoving each other to a corner, or attempting eliminations.

"All fourteen contestants have entered the Battle Royale, six have been eliminated, there are only eight men in the ring, and there is only one member of this match left to join these men! Who is the fifteenth contestant to round these guys to nine?!" Markiplier questions.

"That's what we're gonna find out in a few seconds, Mark!" Kenji replies. "We've got six seconds left!"

THE CROWD EXPLODES IN RAGING CHEERS TO HEAR THAT SONG AND EVERYONE IN THE RING HAS STOPPED AS THEY STARED AT THE STAGE IN SHOCK, NONE OF THEM BELIEVING THIS IS HAPPENING AS WELL!

"OH, MY GOD...! CRASH BANDICOOT IS THE FIFTEENTH CONTESTANT! CRASH BANDICOOT IS BACK, BABY!" Markiplier exclaims happily and in pure shock.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! NO WAY THIS IS HIM! NO WAY! JOSH GAVE THE FIFTEENTH SPOT TO THIS RAT?! THIS IS AS TRAGIC AS FELIX ENTERING THIS MINI RUMBLE, DAMN IT!" Barney shouts with rage.

"OVER 16,500 PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE ARE ON THEIR FEET! THEY'VE NEVER EXPECTED THIS! NEITHER HAVE WE!" Kenji screams.

Fans were eager to see their favorite bandicoot back as they and the Battle Royale contestants waited for him to show up. The audience were getting really impatient as he's taking a while to arrive...and eventually someone did...

...

...

...

...

"THERE HE IS! THERE'S CRASH—what...? Hey, wait a minute!" Zack yells...

Entry #15: "The Iron Monger" Bennet Curse

The Iron Monger walks out to the stage with "Hopeless" by Breaking Benjamin already playing from the loudspeakers and the showering heat of jeers from the audience. He only responded with a vile cackle and shouts, "Oh, what's wrong, everyone? Did I break your hearts because your favorite rodent didn't show up? Too bad! This is your reality! You've faced it when I won my match last night and you're gonna face it AGAIN when I take out EVERYONE! Get ready to cry and bitch once more..." Curse walks down the ramps with an evil grin, passing by the angry fans.

"That EVIL SON OF A BITCH..." Kenji growls.

"You mean, 'That AWESOME SON OF A BITCH,' Kenny, because that entrance was PURE genius! Oh, man, Curse fooled EVERYONE! He got all these idiots in the audience—including you three!" Barney laughs.

"He got you, too, baka!" Kenji shouts.

"Oh, no, he did, but I'm not being a sore angry loser like the rest of you. You all thought Crash had returned, but it is the AIW Champion INSTEAD. This is something I'll remember for a damn good while," Barney grins.

"Nonetheless, since Bennet is entering at #15, unfortunately, we are over the 20:30 mark and all fifteen competitors have entered the Mini Rumble!" Zack calls. "No more shall appear in this match! Now we wait to see which of these men will stand alone in the ring as our winner tonight!"

Bennet tosses his AIW Championship over to a referee and enters the ring and when he did, he clutches onto the throat of Devlin after evading a Roundhouse Kick and plants him to Hell with a Chokeslam! Duke rolls away and stands up to recover, but Bennet gives him no chance to do that as he strikes him with a Clothesline, sending him over the top rope and to the outside floor! Seeing their friend eliminated despite him being their opponent, Tristan and Joey run up to avenge Duke, but got a brutal Double-Clothesline from Curse for their troubles. Hernan runs in with a kick to Bennet and goes for the alternate version of his Chaos Breaker, but Curse removes himself with a shove and after ducking a Clothesline, he grabs him by the waist and hits a German Suplex! ...But he doesn't stop as he rolls to his feet, holding Hernan in tow as he tries to escape, but got a second German Suplex! Bennet rolls up to his feet once more and lifts over a dazed Hernan with a third and final German Suplex, completing the Hat Trick! Pewds bounced off the ropes for a Bro Fist, but Curse catches him with ease as he hits the Pop-up Powerbomb! Then, Bennet's eye catches Joey and Tristan near the ropes and grabs onto their throats to push them over the top rope, eliminating them in the process!

"The AIW Champion is dominating nearly everyone in the Battle Royale! Not showing any mercy to anyone standing his way!" Markiplier shouts. "That man is only six-foot-one and two-hundred and nineteen pounds and he's already taken three people out of the match within seconds!"

"That is exactly WHY he's AIW Champion, Mark! The guy is the perfect example of how an AIW Champion should be and perhaps the winner of this match!" Barney proclaims. "There are only six guys left now and only one will remain in the ring as the victor!"

{Fast-Forward}

Some time has passed and the remaining six wrestlers are still attempting elimination on one another with PewDiePie trying to push Bennet out of the ring with Hernan's aid while Vergil and Bane are trading punches before the former nailed a Throat Thrust and starts to bring him over the ropes. Zeke runs in and attacks Vergil, then ventures to push him over the top rope, but got a sharp elbow the back. Vergil then hoists Zeke over his shoulder to throw him over the ropes and Cage does go over, but he is standing on the apron and he rakes his eyes to give himself a chance. As RC steps away to gather himself, Zeke already ascends to the second rope and strikes the Diving Elbow on the back of Vergil's head. Bennet had managed to shove Hernan and PewDiePie back, stopping his elimination and Zeke kicks Pewds before planting him with a Swinging Neckbreaker.

"Curse does manage himself to stay in the match and Zeke takes down Felix with that Neckbreaker," Zack calls...as cheers suddenly start rising up from the crowd. "Whoa, hang on, I think something's happening."

"Hey, there's someone running down to the ring! I thought we only had up to fifteen..." Kenji's sentence drifts off as he sees who it is running to the ring with referees Shawn Yeager and Nickolas Alba behind him. "That's...that's Kenshin!"

"What the hell does that guy think he's doing?!" Barney questions.

Kenshin speeds down to the ring with dry blood on his face and a heavy scowl and slides in to tackle down Zeke Cage and rain multiple fists on top of his skull! Cage is blocking his fists, but that's all he can do to no avail as Kenshin furiously wants to get back at the rookie for the start of the match! Then, Himura attempts to force Zeke on his feet, but the arrogant rookie jabs a thumb to his eye and strikes him down with the forearm. Zeke turns around to grab Hernan and earned a kick to the midsection followed by the Chaos Breaker! He stumbles to the ropes dazed and Hernan hits a Clothesline to Zeke, sending him over the top rope and crashing onto the floor!

"Zeke Cage is FINALLY out of the Mini Rumble! After so many close calls, Cage finally gets his just deserts and gets eliminated!" Kenji shouts.

"No! NO, NO, NO, NO, DAMN IT! How is this fair, man?! How can those stupid referees allow Kenshin to get away from them and do this?! That bastard SCREWED Zeke over!" Barney exclaims in rage.

"Well, now Zeke knows EXACTLY how Kenshin felt when he attacked him from behind! Himura has had about ENOUGH of his bullsh*t! You can only drive a man so far off the edge and after what Zeke did, he has no one to blame but himself!" Kenji retorts.

Zeke raises his head up and rises to his feet, realizing he's outside the ring after going over the top rope and wanting to deny it all. His eyes then lay on Kenshin with anger as the former assassin slingshots himself right on top of Cage with a Crossbody! He continues sending fists to his head as the officials are breaking them up, Michaels and Jackson holding and dragging Kenshin back while Yeager had to keep Zeke back and the rookie was cursing at the wanderer, calling him a "son of a bitch" and all. During so, Hernan grinned at seeing Cage being pissed off and mockingly waves "goodbye" to him as he leaves.

{Fast-Forward}

Pewds, Hernan, Vergil and even Bane are working together to get Curse out of the ring, but he is fighting back as he kicks their faces in and punches them away. He grabs onto Hernan and throws him over! Fortunately, Hernan lands on the apron and rolls back in the ring as PewDiePie has his throat clutched by Bennet, who lifts him for the Chokeslam, but Pewds counters it with a DDT, spiking his head on the canvas! Kjellberg stalks him from behind as he readies his fist in the corner and charges at the standing Bennet, who catches him in midair and performs a Side Slam Backbreaker. Curse picks him up and throws him INTO RC BANE, who clasps onto the running Felix with a Virus Impact. It seemed Curse did that on purpose and Bane was only quick enough to make the counter.

"Whoa, after that Backbreaker, Curse purposely threw Pewds into Bane, who planted the YouTuber with the Gutwrench Powerbomb! He is certainly lucky he caught Felix in time...despite him feeling pain from that Powerbomb," Zack says.

"That is certainly unexpected teamwork," Barney adds, nodding.

Curse chuckles at the downed Felix as the Swedish YouTuber rolls away and Bane shot a small glare at him for throwing Pewds into him without warning. The AIW Champion only shrugs and responded that he wanted to see if Bane was quick enough. Shaking his head, RC walks towards his brother, but The Iron Monger gestures a halt to him as he offers an idea. Bane founded him shifty...but he accepted the idea which was they work together to get everyone else eliminated and when they do, their truce is over. (Kenji: Oh, no. They're not really going to team up, are they? ; Markiplier: Never thought I'd see the day. I mean, not exactly that these two despise each other, but they don't exactly like each other either. Barney: Then again, anything can happen here in the Battle Royal.) Bane and Curse now stalk towards Pewds, proceeding to keep their deal—RED GRABS AND THROWS HIS BROTHER OVER THE TOP ROPE!

"WHOA, WHOA, WHOA! RC JUST OUTSMARTED HIS BROTHER, CURSE! HE PULLED HIM RIGHT INTO A TRAP!" Markiplier exclaims.

"But he's still in the match, Mark!" Barney observes as Curse had hung onto the rope and brought himself on the apron, glaring at Bane...before Vergil runs in with a vicious Big Boot to the face, sending him crashing down to the mat! "...Never mind. Damn it."

"And The Iron Monger is gone thanks to Vergil getting those sloppy seconds!" Zack calls...earning raised eyebrows and "WTF?!" expressions from his collages. "...Uh, wrong term?"

"...Anyway...Bennet Curse is no longer part of this match, so that makes him the last AIW wrestler to be eliminated from this equation," Kenji remarks, trying to forget his half-brother's strange comment. "It's obvious Bane wants nothing to do with teaming with Curse, knowing how he is; and since he's eliminated, we're down to our Final Four."

"Three men left to take out here in order for that one person to win. Who is that person going to be by the end of it all?" Markiplier questions as Vergil, Bane, Hernan, and PewDiePie glare each other in the ring, seeing they've made it this far as the Final Four.

{Fast-Forward}

Into the match, Hernan got on a roll after bringing down Vergil with a Leaping Clothesline and then a Discus Leg Lariat to a running RC Bane after Pewds escaped a Virus Impact and shoved him into Ortiz. Seeing he and Pewds were the last two standing for now, the two grin as they prepare to give one hell of a fight, in which they delivered, much to the pleasure of the Raleigh audience. Hernan and PewDiePie traded blows with fists landing on each other's faces, then Hernan got the momentum going for him as he had thrown the most punches and Irish Whipped him towards the ropes. Felix hops over with a Leapfrog and springboards off with I Believe I Can Fly, landing it on Hernan, who uses the momentum of that Crossbody to roll back on his feet while carrying the YouTuber like a small child! He cracks a grin as he hoists him over and Felix lands behind him, pushes him to the ropes, and MISSES the Bro Fist as Hernan caught him and planted him down with an Alabama Slam!

"Double Leg Slam—Alabama Slam in shades of Hardcore Holly! " Kenji calls. "Hernan used that running momentum to capture Felix in midair and bring him down hard on the mat!"

"For a couple of irrelevant people, they're not doing that bad so far, I'll give them that much," Barney admits.

The New Enigma gestures for the crowd to watch what he is doing next, which is hounding up PewDiePie to his feet as his arms are splayed out à la Mat Hardy's wake-up taunt. The Bro Amy Leader rises to his vertical base and receives a kick to his midsection, then a Chaos Breaker—DENIED, spun-out and reversed into a Short-arm Lariat Takedown, nearly beheading the New Enigma! As the tide turns for Pewds' side, he brings Ortiz up on his feet and into a corner as he starts striking his face in with various Step-up High Knees until he wraps the arm around the head and shouts, "I'M FABULOUS, BITCHES!" before running forward with a Bulldog. He jumps and quickly transitioned the Bulldog into a Single Knee Facebuster, which he calls Fabulous Makeover as it DOES NOT connect! Hernan catches the maneuver in time with Felix in a Powerbomb clutch, but then he slips off his shoulders and HERNAN STRIKES HIM WITH AN IMPRESSIVE BACK FLIP KICK!

"PewDiePie gets away from Hernan's grasp and—OHHH! PELÉ KICK FROM ORTIZ! THE PELÉ! OUT OF NOWHERE!" Zack shouts.

"That's what you call improvising on the spot!" Markiplier adds. "And now, Ortiz is look for another Chaos Breaker!"

Indeed he was. Hernan was looking for another Front Facelock Stunner as he lines the YouTuber up to his feet, just eager to finally hit the maneuver and the fans start BOOING when Hernan got turned around and planted with a Chokebomb by James Griffin!

"Aah! What the hell?! Griffin?!" Zack yells.

"What is he doing here?! He's not in the match! Griffin is not in the Battle Royale!" Kenji shouts. "What right does the Intercontinental Champion have to interfere with this match?!"

"Guess since Hernan wasn't eliminated first, James decided to take matters into his own hands," Barney quips, earning a glare from the Japanese commentator.

The Intercontinental Champion quickly rolls out of the ring and backs up to the ramps with a smug grin on his face as Hernan slowly sits up, conjecturing what just happened and realizes he has been assaulted after seeing James halfway up to the stage. He seethes as he picks himself up by using the ropes to help him to his feet, cursing at his childhood bully and that costs him DEARLY when Bane lifts him over the top rope and eliminates the New Enigma! Fans were letting their voices be heard in jeers as they hated how Hernan was taken out like that thanks to Griffin, who is grinning arrogantly and proclaims while laughing, "Once a loser, ALWAYS a loser! Hope you like the usual tastes of losing, Ortiz!"

"And Bane takes the advantage of Hernan's situation and throws him over the ropes! Hernan Ortiz is now eradicated from the match due to James's interference!" Markiplier states.

"Woo-hoo! It's about time, too!" Barney cheers before laughing. "Hernan really dragged out the match anyway."

"Now this wasn't fair! Whatever his reason is for doing this to Hernan, James is just a bully! Nothing more than a freaking bully!" Zack frowns.

{Fast-Forward}

RC Bane and Vergil had Felix on the apron after getting him over the top rope as they attempt to eliminate him from the match, but he is fighting back as he landed a Headbutt to Vergil and a right hand to the jaw of Bane. Felix enters the ring with a Springboard—BANE NAILS HIM WITH AN ENZUIGIRI IN MIDAIR, MAKING FELIX FALL OFF FROM THE ROPE! (Kenji: ENZUIGIRI TO THE SKULL OF PEWDIEPIE! HE COLLAPSED INTO DEAD-WEIGHT AS HE FALLS TO HIS DOOM! ; Zack: Aw, man—no, wait! Felix falls INTO the ring! He barely saves himself from his aspirations being ruined! ; Barney: More likely saved himself from his irrelevant dreams getting broken.) Obviously annoyed, Bane forces Pewds to his feet and is beating his face in with a right fist into a corner. He then follows it up with a Triangle Dropkick—PEWDIEPIE PUSHES HIM OFF THE ROPE, MAKING HIM CRASH AND BURN TO THE OUTSIDE!

"And The Virus is OUT of the Mini Rumble! RC Bane becomes the thirteenth man eliminated as he was the thirteenth person to arrive! ...Wow, that's gotta be ironic and embarrassing," Zack blinks.

"Better hope Bane didn't hear you say that, Zack..." Barney says, gesturing to a seething Red Murdock as he glares at Felix from the outside and is escorted away from the ring. "Well, this sucks."

"Well, while Bane won't be making it to Rebellion, sadly, I'm sure he did the Revolution proud by making it this far. But, right now, guys..." Kenji drifts off for the moment as loud cheers rise due to PewDiePie and Vergil are the LAST TWO standing in the ring, both men realizing it themselves as they glower at each other, "we are down to two men... The sixth entrant, Vergil, and the fourteenth entrant, PewDiePie, as the last competitors standing in the squared circle. Only one of them will walk out of there eliminated and only one of them will stand there as the winner."

"Vergil, if you don't eliminate this guy, I will no longer support you!" Barney forebodes.

"Let's go, Vergil! Pew-Die-Pie!" chants rang throughout the entire PNC Arena as Felix and Vergil walked to each other at the center and stared each other down. They shared a few words with each other as Vergil proclaimed not even a fool like Felix deserves to win this match after complaining to his fan base. Pewds fires back that he knows how important this is to the older son of Sparda, but his own dream of coming to the ACW squared circle and not being stuck backstage just standing with a mic in hand far more important than his petty rivalry with Dante. The Devil May Cry 3 antagonist only scoffed and shook his head at Kjellberg and replied, "NOTHING...is more important than my ambitions. I'm doing what it takes to win, no matter the cost!" The YouTuber remains silent for a moment before retorting, "Well, then...since you're going down that road because of that asshole managing you," he points at Jester, who waves with his scepter, "then you don't even deserve to fight Dante, Bro." That set off Vergil and made him swing the first punch, but PewDie ducks it and strikes him across the jaw, both men igniting in a furious trade of fists to each other's skulls as they held each other by their respective heads!

"Oh, look at these two go! They're fighting like they were eternal rivals! Fists are swinging wild between the self-proclaimed True Son of Sparda and the Swedish YouTube Sensation! These two men are left in the ring and we're nearly thirty minutes in! They will stop at nothing until one of them is out of the match and only one is the winner!" Markiplier shouts.

{Fast-Forward}

Throughout the rest of the match, spanning out from five to seven minutes, PewDiePie and Vergil were going at it like they got nothing else left to lose. Main parts of the match included Vergil almost throwing Felix over the top rope with him on his shoulders, only to be flipped over and...lands on the APRON before the two roll back inside. Then, after countering Pewds' Superman Punch with a bone shattering Spinebuster, Vergil brings him over to the top rope...

...but doesn't eliminate him just yet as he hangs his feet on the top ring rope and holds his head in a Cravate...

...and he drives his head down with the Yamato, the maneuver making the crowd cringe as it looked like he nearly snapped his neck! A bit later afterwards, Felix had a close call of losing the match if he hadn't caught himself on the rope and entered back in to counter a running Vergil with a Back Body Drop. Then, as he reaches the top turnbuckle and seeks to nail Bob's Spinning Power of Justice...

...

...VERGIL SNATCHES HIM FROM AIRBORNE AND SITOUT POWERBOMBS HIM STRAIGHT TO HIGH HELL!

"OH, HOT DAMN! Did you all hear the impact coming from that Powerbomb from Vergil?!" Zack cringes.

"Are you kidding—didn't you see how Vergil countered the Corkscrew Senton into a Powerbomb?! That was unbelievably beautiful!" Barney praises.

"Well, it certainly got the job done of killing whatever momentum Felix had going for him," Kenji notes. "With that effective move, this is the difference maker Vergil needed for him to win. Can he take advantage of it before PewDiePie can regain himself?"

The True Son of Sparda dressed in dark blue motions with his arms it is time to end this match as half of the arena were on his side, hoping for him to join the Fatal 4-Way. He drags a dead weight Felix Kjellberg up on his feet and begins forcing him out of the ring...

...

...

...then throws him over the top rope!

"And Felix is OUT of there! It's back to interviewing for him, sadly," Markiplier notes, a bit disappointed.

"That's what he gets for thinking he can make it to our company," Barney scoffs.

...

...

...

"No, wait a minute! PEWDIEPIE IS STILL ALIVE!" Kenji calls.

"WHAT?!" Barney shouts in disbelief.

THE YOUTUBER IS CLINGING ONTO THE ROPES FOR DEAR LIFE AS VERGIL, WITH ALL HIS MIGHT, IS TRYING TO KICK AND SHOVE OUT OF THE RING TO NO AVAIL! The fans on his side are roaring as their hopes of Pewds winning the Mini Rumble are still on igniting!

"How the hell is that ass not out of it?! What keeps him going, damn it?!" Barney growls.

"I'll tell you what, Barney! It's his willpower! His own will of fire, so to speak! He has a pipe dream of winning this match to become a bona fide wrestler within ACW along with his friends and he's not surrendering those dreams of his die just yet!" Markiplier infers.

Despite the stiff kicks he is given, Pewds will not budge and give in from releasing the ropes and is too damn stubborn to quit on his ambitions now. Vergil, annoyed, backs away to line him up and charges at him, speeding right into a surprise stiff Gamengiri from the YouTuber! He then slingshots over the rope and starts nailing rigid right hands to the temple, exploiting his fired up and never-say-die attitude with each shot to his skull; he pulls him into a Full Nelson, seeking a Nailed It!, but Vergil easily reverses it with a Full Nelson of his own and plants a Full Nelson Slam. Following it up with a Leaping Leg Drop after rebounding from the ropes, Vergil goes to throw PewDiePie out of the ring again, but he counters and throws him over the top rope! Vergil flies over...and he lands on the apron! Pewds takes this advantage as he dashes to the opposite side, bouncing off—ARKHAM KNOCKS HIM UPSIDE THE HEAD WITH THE BIBLE!

"Felix is looking for something big to eliminate Vergil—OH, GEEZ, Arkham strikes Pewds with the BIBLE and it took him down easily! What is that thing filled with, bricks?!" Zack asks.

"Whatever it is, it did the trick and now Vergil should be captivating this chance to take that guy out of the match and be done with this whole thing," Barney states.

Fans are booing loudly at Arkham's cheap shot as Pewds holds his head in pain, gritting his teeth from the shot of the Bible, if we can even call it that in Arkham's hands, into his head. However, he slowly stirred and the second he caught glimpse of the priest...he grabs him THROUGH the ropes and starts dragging him into the ring! (Kenji: Pewds has sprung to life and is forcing the demonic priest into the ring! He's about to get a small taste of justice from the Bro Arm Leader! Barney: Vergil, stop him before your chances of winning are gone!) Rowdy cheers were incited as Pewds furiously flips the main antagonist of DMC3 inside and the fans encourage him to kick his ass. "YA WANNA F*CK WITH ME, BRO?! I'LL GIVE YA SOMETHING TO F*CK WITH!" Felix shouts, having enough of his crap as he shoves him to the ropes and hits the Superman Punch on the rebound, nailing the Bro Fist right in Arkham's jaw!

"Somewhere outside this arena, a female devil hunter is HAPPY to see an evil minister earn a taste of righteousness from a Bro Fist!" Markiplier calls.

"Oh, come on, Mark, you and I both know that is complete injustice! Where's The Wolves when you need 'em the most?!" Barney questions.

As shoving Arkham out of the ring with his foot, Felix takes in the cheers as those screams of encouragement fire up the YouTuber more and goes after Vergil, who socks him with a malicious Big Boot that nearly took his damn head off! The elder son of Sparda quickly brings him up and sends him flying over the top rope with authority!

Vergil rests his hands on his knees as he appears slightly exhausted, but noticing the bell hasn't rung yet as he turned around...

...

...and saw Felix hanging onto the ropes for dear life! Enraged and irritated, Vergil grew a heavy scowl as he shouted, "Just go down, DAMN YOU!" and sped right towards the Swedish YouTuber like a TRUE DEMON. PewDiePie rises to his feet on the apron and the second he lifted his head up...

...

...his eyes widen at Vergil's intense speed...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...AND WAS TOO HESITANT TO COUNTER AS HE TAKES OFF FROM THE APRON FROM VERGIL'S BIG BOOT! FELIX HITS THE BARRICADE AND THE FLOOR, THE BELL RINGS AS VERGIL WINS THE MATCH AND NOT EVEN HE CAN BELIEVE IT!

"VERGIL DID IT...VERGIL HAS WON THE MATCH! HE'S GOING TO REBELLION TO FIGHT DANTE, LUKE, AND JAMES FOR THEIR TITLES AND THE MAIN PRIZED BELT!" Kenji yells.

"YES! OH, I KNEW VERGIL COULD DO IT! I KNEW HE WOULD WIN THIS OVER THAT OVERRATED YOUTUBER!" Barney cheers.

Half the audience members cheered loudly for Vergil's well-deserved victory as the other half were either booing to Pewds' loss or just not fans of the half-demon at all. The elder son of Sparda falls to his knees, then pounds his hands on the mat and clings onto his head in shocked joy, an actual SMILE upon his face as he stands up with raised fists and Arkham comes in to hold up the arm, declaring him as the victor in this match with a grin despite the pain in his jaw.

Vergil kept his celebration going as Arkham proceeded to leave his client in his victory...

...

...and Vergil gets his arm lowered by referee John Benoit, who is SHAKING his head and telling him he did NOT win the match! Not even the arena could believe it as Vergil and Arkham were in disbelief, especially Vergil!

"Hang on a sec...what the hell does he mean Vergil didn't win?! Of course he won, you moron! We all saw it! PewDiePie was taken out and his feet landed on the floor!" Barney reminds.

"I...think there's more to it than THAT, Stinson. John has seen something that we didn't," Kenji says as a replay footage is shown upon the TitanTron.

REPLAY: After Vergil had sent PewDiePie flying over the top rope, he had managed to hang onto the ring rope before performing Skin the Cat in shades of Shawn Michaels circa Royal Rumble 1995 as he flips himself back into the ring, much to the front row's surprise as he is still legal to compete in the match...but stopped...and HATCHED an idea as he rolls back out...and stands up on the apron, feigning a groggy stance. That's when Vergil turned around and saw him standing on the apron and proceeded to take him out with a Big Boot.

"...I don't f*cking believe it..." Barney utters.

"OH...OH...OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! THAT SNEAKY SON OF A BITCH! Felix 'PewDiePie' Kjellberg, you sneaky troll! He actually outsmarted Vergil! He made him think he was still over the top rope and pulled him right into his trap!" Markiplier exclaims. "This match continues!"

"But why, though? Why did he get back in the ring, then rolled back out to trick him?" Zack asks.

"Simple, Zack...it's PEWDIEPIE..." Kenji states plainly.

Subsequently seeing that replay...Vergil has become MORE enraged than ever, his ambitions are becoming more of a far cry than getting any closer. He turns to Arkham outside the ring and the priest, also pissed off, calmly urges Vergil to DESTROY PewDiePie. He nods and once he turned his attention to Pewds, the fan-proclaimed King of YouTube Video Games is seen resting against the barricade with blood trickling down from the corner of his mouth after having it jacked by Vergil's Big Boot. He notices Vergil's glare and cracks a grin as he asks, "...You mad, Bro?" Infuriated, Vergil exists the ring and grabs onto Pewds and roughly throws him back in the ring; he rolls all the way across and Vergil slides back inside to come after him, showing he is not letting his ambitions go to waste. Vergil reaches PewDiePie, who tosses him over with a Back Body Drop...

...

...

...and Vergil lands his feet on the apron! The two are now just duking it out, Felix trying to get Vergil out and Vergil trying to bring Felix over and out!

"These two are not showing any signs of letting go of their ambitions! They are not surrendering to their limits until one of them is eliminated! Vergil is a few feet away from touching the ground and he's showing multiple amounts of resistance!" Kenji calls.

"And we're seeing it as Vergil is getting the momentum all over Felix!" Markiplier observes.

Eventually, Vergil now has Pewds right where he wants him as he grabs him and lifts him straight up with a Delayed Vertical Suplex stance. The YouTuber is moving his legs around to get himself back on the mat...

...

...

...which he does and now lifts Vergil off his feet, also bringing in the arena standing up in anticipation...

...

...

...and he tosses Vergil over...

...

...

...

...and Vergil lands his feet ON THE APRON!

...

...

...But not if Felix has something to say as he nails him with a Hotshot!

...

...

...And Vergil is hanging onto the rope, STILL in this match! PewDiePie now decides to go for the big move and hope this gets him out for GOOD. Taking this chance of a dazed Vergil, he cocks the fist, pounds it into the ground in a Roman Reigns pose, dashes up to him with a BRO FIST!

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...AND IT DOES NOT FULLY EXECUTE AS VERGIL DUCKS AND PULLS DOWN THE ROPES, MAKING PEWDIEPIE FLY OVER!

"PEWDIEPIE WITH THE BRO FIST—NO, VERGIL EVADES IT IN TIME! WE HAVE A WINNER!" Barney proclaims.

...

"...NO, BARNEY...DON'T COUNT PEWDS OUT JUST YET... LOOK!" Markiplier points...

...

...AS PEWDIEPIE IS CLINGING ONTO VERGIL'S WAIST AND HIS FEET ARE NEARLY INCHES AWAY FROM TOUCHING THE FLOOR!

"AAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHH! WHAT IN THE BIG BRO IN THE SKY'S NAME IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO ELIMINATE THAT UNWORTHY CHALLENGER?! HE'S LIKE A FREAKING COCKAMOUSE! HE JUST WON'T FREAKING DIE!" Barney snaps.

"THAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH FELIX...HE JUST DOES NOT WANT TO DIE! HE'S TOO DAMN STUBBORN TO GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT!" Zack exclaims.

"BOTH OF THESE MEN ARE ON THE APRON NOW! WHO'S GOING TO BE THE ONE TO TASTE THE GLORY OF WINNING THE SEMIFINALS?!" Kenji asks loudly.

Vergil is now elbowing on top of Felix's head, just shouting, "GET OFF OF ME AND JUST DIE ALREADY, DAMN YOU!" and his opponent is just taking it! PewDiePie takes the blows to his skull as he struggles to get himself on the apron and when he did, he strikes a stiff HEADBUTT into Vergil! The Swedish YouTube Sensation breathes heavily as he glares up at him with a small amount of blood flowing down thanks to the sharp elbow, the camera hearing his muttering off-mic, "You're gonna have to do better than THAT, Verge...! I'M NOT GOING BACK TO BEING A FUCKING INTERVIEWER, GODDAMN IT!" As he stood up, Vergil did as well while holding his head from the Headbutt and glared right back at him. Both men were now trading right hands to each other's craniums as fans traded cheers and boos to their respective favorites. But then, Vergil kicks PewDie in his midsection and hoists him up for a Vertical Suplex...

...

...actually may be going for a Brainbuster or his Power of Sparda...

...

...

...but PewDie drops down behind him, his feet landing on the apron as he went for the Right-handed Knockout Hook...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...ORIGINAL BRO FIST EVADED...

...

...

...

...INTO AN ATTEMPTED GERMAN SUPLEX, VERGIL PULLING FELIX BACK AS HE CLINGS ONTO THE ROPES...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...but after failing to do so, he clubs his back repeatedly, and then carefully gets on the apron to seek a Judgement Cut DDT...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...AND SPIKES HIS HEAD THE APRON!

NO!

PEWDIEPIE SHOVES HIM AWAY! VERGIL NEARLY FALLS OFF AFTER HITTING THE POST, BUT COMES BACK—BRO FIST! PEWDIEPIE ALMOST FALLS OFF AS THE RISKY SUPERMAN PUNCH KNOCKS OUT THE JAW OF VERGIL, WHO COLLAPSES ONTO THE PADDED GROUND BELOW! THE BELL OFFICIALLY RINGS AS THE PNC ARENA EXPLODES IN SHOCK AND CHEERS!

"BRO FIST! VERGIL IS OUT! FELIX DID IT! HE ACTUALLY DID IT! THE DARK HORSE HAS WON THE SEMIFINALS! PEWDIE-F*CKING-PIE IS GOING TO MOTHERF*CKING REBELLION!" Markiplier exclaims at the top of his lungs.

[His name is PewDiePie!

(PewDiePie...!)

A You, You, YouTube gamer!

PewDiePie!

(PewDiePie...!)

A fearless entertainer!]

("His Name is PewDiePie" by Roomie)

"Here is your winner of the ACW International Championship Semifinals...FELIX KJELLBERG...PEEEEEEEEEEEWDIEPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!" Maria declares loudly.

{Fast-Forward}

Felix rolls back into the ring, resting on his knees, and he looks like he's about to cry tears of JOY as he pounds his fists on the mat, then SCREAMS at the top of his lungs with PRIDE and VICTORY. He clings onto his hair and stands up to run around the ring, pumping both fists up in the air in celebration of his winnings. He climbs the turnbuckles and pounds his chest like a wild gorilla as he proclaims to his "Bros" he's walking out of Rebellion with those three titles and the International Championship afterwards. After stepping down, he gets TACKLED…by Marzia as she wraps herself around her boyfriend, who caught her and she pecks his cheek multiple times, her faint lipstick remaining on his face. He doesn't seem to mind her kisses as he won one of his biggest matches...for now until Rebellion appears right around the corner.

[Don't be a salad, don't be a salad (What, what?)

(Justin!)

Don't be a salad, don't be a salad

(Justin!)

Don't be a salad, uh! (What, what?)

Be the best Goddamn broccoli you could ever be! (MA BABEY!)

HIS NAME IS PEWDIEPIE! (OHHH, OHHH, OHHHHHH!)

A You, You, YouTube gamer!

PEWDIEPIE, YEAH!

(PewDiePie...!)

A fearless entertainer!]

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE OUR FOURTH CONTESTANT IN THE FATAL 4-WAY MATCH THIS SUNDAY...AND HIS NAME IS PEWDIEPIE!" Kenji exclaims. "HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO START HIS JOURNEY WITH A BRO FIST AND HE DID JUST THAT TO ADRIAN AND CONCLUDES THIS PART OF HIS JOURNEY WITH ANOTHER BRO FIST TO VERGIL! IF HE KEEPS THIS UP, HE JUST MAY VERY WELL END IT ALL WITH ONE FINAL BRO FIST TO EITHER DANTE, SMITH, OR GRIFFIN!"

"NO! NO! NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!" Barney yells, slamming his hands on the table repeatedly with each "No". "VERGIL GOT SCREWED! HE GOT GODDAMN SCREWED ONCE AGAIN! AND THIS TIME, IT'S NOT EVEN BY DANTE! IT'S BY THAT DAMN OVER HYPED JACKASS!"

"I'M AFRAID TO TELL YOU, BARNEY, BUT VERGIL WALKED RIGHT INTO THAT BRO FIST AND WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR LIKE HE WAS A SACK OF POTATOES!" Zack analogizes.

"Much to the fans surprise and our disbelief, this is really happening RIGHT in front of our eyes, boys! PewDiePie has made it through this match at #14, been put into close calls of eliminations and shown NO signs of surrendering at all! That's the sign of an underdog!" Markiplier states. "...By the way, Barney, nice job breaking my record of the most 'Nos'."

"SHUT UP, MARK!" Barney snarls, startling the YouTuber.

As Felix celebrates his victory with Marzia and the "Bros"...a distraught and disappointed Vergil stands on the floor on his hands and knees, some of the crowd members who were fans of him in front row felt the same emotions as him and one of them said he'll get another chance. Despite so, Vergil pounds a fist into the padded floor, almost piercing through it as he's utterly frustrated over this being his last chance to fight Dante and complete his motivations. He glares up at PewDiePie celebrating in the ring while leaning against the barricade, nursing his jaw...and Arkham suddenly appears standing next to him, surprising the front row seats as they didn't see him coming. The manager of Vergil places a hand on his shoulder and whispers in his ear something inaudible, not even the fans or the cameraman can catch what he's saying...and Vergil slowly calms down and nods to him as he replied, "Understood..." Arkham grins with a slight taste of evil on his face as he starts leaving.

"Oh, boy... Did anyone manage to get an earshot at that?" Zack asks.

"I don't think so, Zack. Whatever it is, knowing Arkham, it's obviously not good," Kenji believes.

"I hope it's something for Vergil to somehow get involved in the Fatal 4-Way Match because I'm still pissed over this sh*tty result," Barney scowls.

Vergil follows, but he turns around with his attention towards the ring as he is near the ramps, watching the merriment between Marzia and PewDiePie, both kissing each other before the latter pulled away to see Vergil watching. Despite all that happened, Felix shrugged slightly and said off-mic, "Sorry, Bro... I had to do what I had to do." The mature son of Sparda didn't say anything back...as he just nods to his words and bows to him a little, showing some sportsmanship and respect. It's pretty a big amount...but Vergil didn't want to give his back out. He leaves and both YouTubers to resume Felix's victory, his theme song repeating in the loudspeakers.

Cameras switched to the TitanTron for a moment, showing a three-way split screen the three current carriers of the United States, Intercontinental, and Television Championships, Dante, James Griffin, and Luke Smith, who is standing alongside with The Wolves. With Dante, he was very surprised by the winner of the Battle Royale, but didn't mind he was going to face him in Finals this Sunday and felt like the match is going to be one hell of a party. James Griffin sneered as he adjusted his Intercontinental Title over his shoulder, proclaiming to himself that since he broke the "pathetic" dreams of Hernan, he'll break more dreams of the stupid YouTuber known as PewDiePie. And finally, with Luke Smith...no doubt he was fuming, but that was actually hidden by a stoic expression as he rubs his hand on the TV Title and Erik places a hand on his free shoulder.

The Cunning Wolf turns to his leader with a raised eyebrow as Rollins urges him these words: "When you get your hands on Kjellberg...show him what happens when you defy the meaning of JUSTICE." Smith slightly smirks, replying, "Oh, I'll do more than just that... I'll RIP his FLESH and BONES apart like a REAL wolf would do... This prey will know his place soon enough when I'm through sinking my teeth into him." Erik pats his shoulder with a grin as Damian nods, smirking under his mask, and Hector was rubbing his hands together and grinning like a madman, definitely looking forward to see some blood spilled.

"The champions are preparing for what's to come at Rebellion and so are we. We can only wonder what the hell will happen this Sunday! My goodness, what a night for this Go-home Show of Ignition...and it's only getting started, people, because tomorrow night, RAMPAGE IV is the second final show for ACW before our fourth pay-per-view! I'm 'The Truthfully and Brutally Honest Man from the Land of Japan' Kenji Matsuo!" Kenji begins.

"I'm 'That Guy' Zack Carver!" Zack continues.

"'The Legen—wait for it—dary Commentator of ACW' Barney Stinson," Barney grumbles, obviously still upset as his arms are crossed.

"And Markiplier saying farewell for tonight; thank you all so much for watching, ladies and gentlemen! We will see YOU...in the next episode...and we will DAMN WELL see YOU at Rebellion, LIVE from Washington D.C.! BUH-BYE!" Markiplier waves goodbye, inferring the outros.

Friday Night Ignition ends with PewDiePie standing on the second turnbuckle and raising his fists high up as Marzia claps for her partner's triumph. The #1 Most Subscribed YouTuber proclaims to still end his journey and this whole tournament with a Bro Fist for damn sure, tightening his right hand into a fist with a wide grin and the show fades out to black...

...Good golly, Miss Molly, even with a Showcap, I take so freaking long to write this crap. ._. I blame stuff distracting me. :I But, nonetheless...I did it. :D I finished my chapter! XD ...No doubt this is LONG, too. ._. I can't help it. ToT Anyway, I really hope you guys enjoyed this chapter overall and appreciate the work I've put into this baby. If you find anything questionable...know this is my story and I do how I want. You can either question my stuff or just go along with it—your choice, dudes and dudettes. :P I have NO regrets for what I do unless it's something REALLY stupid...which is not this chapter, hopefully. :P

Anyway, a lot damn sure happened in this chapter, especially since PewDiePie won! :D Looks like he won't be going back to his interviewing job anytime soon. Will he keep this going at Rebellion, or will it fail on him and he goes to developmental instead? O.o Along with that, who is Johnny Cage's challenger? Which man will stand alone as the REAL King of Blood? Will Kaiba appear at Rebellion to fight Ash? Who will survive the Monster's Ball? Which female heel faction will stand above the other? Will new champions be crowned or will they stay with their inaugural holders? Finally, will Sasuke achieve the spotlight once more or will Naruto defeat him for the third and possibly final time? These questions will be answered soon as well...VERY soon. }:D

Be sure to leave a review once you're done reading, please. They are damn well appreciated to show how I did through your praise and criticism. Don't be afraid to hold back. Just know I'm still doing things my way to please you fans. :P As always, your reviews make me a happy A1. :3 If you do, thanks for reviewing! :D

Ian: *Barney's voice* And if you don't, I'll f*cking kill you! :D *laughs* :3

._. ...Anyway...until then, my awesome friends...LATER! :D
