ACW Friday Night Ignition: August 9th, Week 2

[TV-14]

(As "Ignition" by TobyMac starts, a spotlight shines into the camera as it scans around the spots of a Millennium symbol, a baseball bat with some blood stains on it, a legendary Geatish warrior's crown, a Poké Ball, two Duel Monster cards featuring the Dark Magician and the Blue Eyes White Dragon, a Wumpa Fruit, the Rookie Revolution logo, a symbol of a spider, 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 an Otaku's Gunpoint to Mason Stone; Takashi and Kohta stand upfront, a baseball bat in the former's hand and a sniper rifle in the latter's.)

Turn on, turn on the ignition, everybody!

(Téa Gardner hits the Apricot Dominance to Kendra Daniels twice at Southern Hell and Reign in Blood respectively; The Gods of Darkness smashes Takashi Komuro's head with a Con-chair-to; Scorpion glares with literal fire in his eyes.)

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 is 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!

(The Four Horsewomen stand together in the ring as they hold the four finger gesture; Evil Beauty stand together as a trio; the trio champions of the female's division (and O-Aelita), Evil Beauty and Four Horsewomen ensue in a massive brawl.)

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; 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!

(James Griffin plants a Chokebomb on Hernan Ortiz, who is seen next performing the Chaos Breaker on him; Spider-Man nails a Spider's Bite to Sasuke Uchiha; The Symbiotes annihilate Yugi Mutou with Venomous Carnage.)

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 from within the ring; Naruto performs the 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…


Off the swirl wipe transition, "Ignition" by TobyMac starts over at the intro solo mark in full blast and five simultaneous rounds of fireworks shoot up from both sides of the stage all the way up to the top of the IgnitionTron, starting a trail of white hissing pyro go their separate ways from top to bottom as they clash for silver pyrotechnics to shoot from left to right all over like a machine gun for over five seconds before one final and explosive blast out of silver and white pyrotechnics from the stage! The lights turn on thereafter in the arena and the crowd immediately roared ferociously in fervor, absolutely thrilled as the camera panned all over them to get every excited face. The fans throughout the arena were seen holding signs such as: "The TRUE Son of Sparda Will be Resurrected!"; "Hudson's More Worth of a Penny"; "Get Well Soon, Yugi!"; "Evil Beauty [insert "greater than" symbol here] Four Whorewomen" "The Wolves: Hunting for Tag Gold"; and "The Naughty Dogs FTW!" as they chanted, "AC-DUB! AC-DUB! AC-DUB!"

"We are at the present time LIVE from 'The Air Capital of the World' Wichita, Kansas, over 15,200 in the Intrust Bank Arena on their feet with their signs held proud and their chants dedicated to this promotion! Hello, everybody; my name is Markiplier and this…is Friday Night Ignition!" Markiplier greets. "Here with me and you fans are 'The Truthfully and Brutally Honest Man from the Land of Japan' Kenji Matsuo, 'That Guy' Zack Carver and the self-proclaimed 'Legendary Commentator of ACW' Barney Stinson!"

"I give thanks to you as usual for the introduction, Mark, but let me correct you: my nickname is not 'self-proclaimed' when it is a FACT because I am the legen—wait for it…here it comes…it's coming…almost there…OHHHHH, SWEET RELEASE INSIDE A HOT GIRL'S WOMB WITH MY—dary. THE Legendary Commentator of Awesome Championship Wrestling!" Barney proclaims after building up to his "climax".

"…Can you get any more disgusting?" Kenji inquiries.

"I'm only a man, Gary. Better one than you will ever be," Barney grins, earning a glare from the Japanese commentator.

"Okay, okay, Barney, let's save the personal ish for later. We're the ringside commentators, so we should behave as such," Zack suggests. "Speaking of which, if you fans watching haven't heard the news, tonight is the premiere of our inaugural ACW World Tag Team Championship #1 Contender Tournament!"

"Indeed, Zack. Eight tag teams will be featured in this three-week long tournament to decide our new number one contenders for Alpha & Omega's ACW World Tag Team Titles at Summer Wars," Kenji says.

"I don't see why we need to hold a tournament when Young and Terra are already set to defend them in our house show, 'Tag Team Mayhem'. They're pretty much good on the 30-day rule," Barney indicates.

"I don't think it matters to our World Tag Team Champions, Barney," Markiplier remarks. "They were—technically, Stan was—ballsy to declare a title match against The Symbiotes in order to prove their worthy with the tag belts in their hands. If they have to defend their belts up to three times this month and have no problem with it, I'm pretty sure they'll be known as fighting champions."

"That's an accomplishment for A&O to be proud of by the end of this month. So until then, eight tag teams will fight to earn their number one contender's spot!" Kenji states. "Four representing Ignition. Four representing RAMPAGE. Only one will leave Tag Team Mayhem as the next challengers! Who will advance first? That we will all find out very soon…as we will Ignite the Night."


World Tag Team Championship #1 Contender's Tournament, Quarterfinals – Takashi Komuro and Kohta Hirano vs. The Wolves (Erik Rollins and Damian Reigns)

Komuro shakes his head after getting it rung from an Enzuigiri by Rollins, who pushes him into a corner to strike a knife edge chop, inciting woos from the audience. Takashi felt it as he nurses his chest, though he mocks, "That the best chop you can do?" Rightfully annoyed, Erik pushes his face before nailing another backhand chop as this one definitely got to him. Takashi rubs his lightly redden chest, admitting to his opponent that was a good shot…

…but said it was his turn as he showed him how to really make it hurt as he hits a viciously lightning quick knife edge chop to the chest of Erik Rollins, who gets blasted down to his back and rolls away in thrashing pain! This earned a reaction of cringing and a louder "Woo!" from the audience while Takashi shakes his hand to rid the sting in his palm.

"YEOW!" Markiplier winces. "Erik Rollins taken down by young Komuro, who surprises us all with that stiff knife edge chop that could've been heard around the world. I swear, you could've slice apples with Komuro's backhand chop. Erik's chest must be blistering after that. I think he might be crying."

"Well, you thought wrong, Mark. Wolves don't cry. They tough out the pain and continue the hunt," Barney analogizes. "Komuro's chops will just be like a little girl's slap to the face to Rollins. If anything, Komuro may have just sprained his hand."

{Fast-forward}

Rollins' kicking foot gets caught, then Takashi throws it aside and his head gets kicked in with a Backflip Kick! He leaps to his corner and tags in Damian Reigns as the Big Wolf nails multiple forearm clubs to Komuro, hooks around his arm…

…and displays his sheer, scary strength with a Hip Toss to him, flinging him all the way across the ring to the crowd's shock!

"The power of Damian Reigns never ceases to scare me," Zack comments. "23 years young and the dude can swing people around like a rag doll with ease."

"He's not the Enforcer of The Wolves for nothing, Zachery. He's not one-third of the Trios Champions with Erik and Hannibal for nothing. He still has a lot of ways to go in the industry, but Damian is a special specimen as Komuro's personally seeing it himself as a victim," Barney praises.

"And he's not exactly done playing with his prey yet…" Kenji implies.

Takashi scrambles his feet with his back against the ropes and Reigns wastes little time to continue a series of forearm clubs to the spine, then Irish whips him to the ropes, but he reverses it. Damian bounces off…denies Komuro's back body drop attempt with a kick to his chest…

…and pulls Takashi in his grasp for a vast Exploder Suplex into the silver ring ropes!

"Another example of Reigns' strength shown right in front of us and to Takashi Komuro, whose whole body lands right in the ropes off the Exploder Suplex," Markiplier says. "Now he drags Takashi over to his corner as he tags Rollins back in, both men thinking a double team maneuver."

After Damian lays Takashi against the turnbuckles, he Irish whips Rollins over to him as he launches with a Forearm Smash, then Erik Irish whips Komuro to into a Leaping Clothesline from Reigns. Rollins quickly for the cover with the leg hooked: 1, 2—kick-out by Komuro! Rollins stands up, appearing nonchalant about the two-count as he says off-mic, "It's all right, it's all right…"

…before placing his foot behind his opponent's head to stomp his face into the canvas! From the curb stomp preview, Takashi immediately writhes around in agony, holding his nose as the referee Daniel Parker checks on him for verified continuation and Rollins derides his pain, "Ah, come on, I didn't stomp you that hard, ya big baby."

"Rollins, you know damn well about Takashi healing from a broken nose and a concussion after Rebellion," Kenji reproves.

"Even if he did, it's the kid's own fault for diving off that high ladder in the first place just to finish Bakura off," Barney sneers. "He has no one to blame but himself once he suffers tonight by the hands of The Wolves. Rollins a smart man to pick his targets and the target is that broken nose of his."

{Fast-forward}

Reigns lifts Takashi all the way to his corner after catching and prevent him from making a leap to get the tag and squashes him into the turnbuckles, tagging in Rollins afterwards. The Juggernaut Wolf aggressively stomps his cornered opponent repeatedly before taking him out of there and hoisting him up on his shoulders. Meanwhile, Erik climbs the turnbuckles all the way up, sees Komuro in good elevated position…

…and jumps from the top rope…

…to fail hitting his Silent Hound (Diving High Knee) when Takashi falls back to drill Damian Reigns' head in the mat with a Poison Frankensteiner!

"Whoa—what a counter!" Kenji exclaims.

"Poison Frankensteiner on the spot! Komuro eludes his team's fate after driving Reigns' skull down!" Markiplier calls. "This is the opening he needs to tag out now!"

"But that window's gonna be closing with an angry wolf on his ass, Mark!" Barney states as Erik quickly grasps Takashi's foot to stop him from making a tag, pulling him into a Clothesline…

…and Takashi ducks it and gets behind Erik to plant a German Suplex!

"Aah!" Barney exclaims.

"German Suplex! And we all can tell where this is gonna lead to!" Zack insinuates.

Takashi rolls his hips up to his feet, still holding Rollins flailing his arms around for an escape…as he eats a second German Suplex! He rolls to his vertical base again, Rollins still desperately reaching out for the ropes…and the third consecutive German Suplex is made! But…Takashi rolls to his feet for the third time as his arms cling around the waist of a slightly dazed Erik Rollins for a fourth German Suplex! He rolls his legs to get back into a standing position as Rollins' eyes are glazed over…

…and Takashi finishes the back arch throw combination with a fifth German Suplex, releasing him and landing him right on the back of his neck!

"Five rolling German Suplexes to the leader of The Wolves who has to be nearly out of it as is Komuro from energy put into the Infecta Quinquefecta!" Markiplier calls.

"Everything has backfired for The Wolves thanks to that punk! This is bad; this is really—quin-what now?" Barney asks.

"You know…quinque as in 'five' in Latin? A spin on Takashi's Infecta Trifecta that's changed up into five rolling German Suplexes that we've just seen performed by Takashi?" Mark queries back.

"…You need to get laid more," Barney remarks. "I shall be your wing man for that occasion."

"I'm good, thank you. Now if we can back to talking about the match, which has Komuro currently crawling over to his corner with Kohta Hirano holding a hand out to get the legal tag, that would be nice," Mark reminds.

The Gun Otaku holds tight of his tag rope as his arm extends out as far as it can reach with Takashi crawling over with the limited energy left in his body. He is inches away from the corner…reaches a hand out…

…ERIK ROLLINS IS UP TO PREVENT THE TAG AGAIN…

…BUT TAKASHI LEAPS AWAY FROM HIS CLUTCHES TO FINALLY TAG OUT TO KOHTA!

"AND THE TAG IS FINALLY MADE! Kohta Hirano, unhinged and fired up, is ready to go in with guns blazing!" Kenji exclaims.

"Take him out quickly, Wolves! He's fat and easy prey!" Barney barks.

Kohta Hirano runs inside the ring with a trifecta of Clotheslines to Rollins, cleaning house all over him before hitting a knee strike into Damian's face as it sends him back outside! The nerd for firearms turns his attention to a staggering Erik with a series of straight jabs followed by rolling his hands à la Bubba Ray Dudley…into the hand gesture of a "gun" at Erik's forehead, "shooting his brains out" before hitting the Otaku Bullseye (Bionic Elbow)!

"I'm sorry, but what the hell was THAT?" Barney questions in irritated confusion.

"Shades of Bubba Ray Dudley's Bionic Elbow theatrics, but in Kohta's own tastes," Zack states, approximately answering his fellow commentator. "The dude is like rapid fired bullets right now—he has already cleaned house with The Wolves! This tag has completely brought Komuro and Hirano back in the driver's seat!"

"And now Kohta just needs to end the match while he has the chance," Mark mentions.

With the ring cleared out and the audience pumped to see a victory happen for Takashi and Kohta, said gun geek carries Rollins on his shoulders as he goes for the Otaku's Gunpoint—

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 close-up 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!

"AAH! …Oh, no…" Mark gasps.

And suddenly, darkness and silence is what was left…

…until a small match was lit and it lights a candle…

…and both Yami Bakura and Marik Ishtar are revealed alone with the candle in the former's hand that illuminates them both and their vile grins.

"Wichita, Kansas…" grins Bakura as the crowd lets out a small pop in cheers, "…we're here."

He suddenly blows out the candle, darkness consuming the screen…

…and then…the piano intro of "Nightmare" by Avenged Sevenfold plays by its well-known six notes…

as the lights turn back on to reveal Marik Ishtar by himself in the middle of the ring, arms spread wide and standing behind Kohta!

"OH, SH—KOHTA! Behind you!" Zack shouts.

Kohta turns around and drops Erik in horrified reaction from seeing an evil grinning Marik, promptly charging at him to his goading…

…but Marik sidesteps him easily…

…for Hirano to eat a VICIOUS SPEAR by a returning Damian Reigns!

"DAMN IT! SPEAR BY DAMIAN! The Big Wolf took grand advantage of Kohta's distraction thanks to Marik!" Kenji yells.

"I salute you, Damian! Way to take down fatty! Same to you, Marik!" Barney approves.

"Oh, will you stop?" Markiplier begs in annoyance.

Takashi attempted to enter the ring, but while Marik is distracting the official, Yami Bakura takes him out of there and throws him face-first into the steel steps! He makes the quick escape over the barricade as Marik coolly leaves the ring by Parker's order. The Wichita fans were rightfully angry at the Gods of Darkness by their venomous boos and during then, Reigns rolls aside for a fully conscious Erik Rollins to hit the ropes…

…and drives Hirano's skull with The Second Coming (Curb Stomp)!

"Curb Stomp by Erik Rollins, baby! He calls that 'The Second Coming'!" Barney grins.

"Is this really how this match is gonna end?! Come on!" Zack frowns in dismay.

Erik, still the legal man, turns Kohta over for the pinfall cover: 1…

"And BADA BING…"

2…

"…BADA BOOM…"

…3!

"…FORGET ABOUT IT!" Barney completes as the bell rings. "WOO! Komuro and Hirano can definitely FORGET about ever getting advancing because they're OUTTA HERE!"

("Special Op" by Adam Massacre plays)

"Here are your winners: Erik Rollins and Damian Reigns, The Wolves!" Maria Lopez declares.

{Fast-forward}

Boos were raining down profoundly to the result and The Wolves couldn't care less about their reception nor how they won. Soon as their victory was announced, Rollins and Reigns held their fists in victory with the wide smirks on their faces, the former proclaiming himself and Damian as the next challengers soon enough. Meanwhile, Takashi, despite the small flow of blood on his nose, is checking on Kohta while glaring at the vainly smirking Gods of Darkness.

"The Wolves advance on into the semifinals with the win thanks to the Gods of Darkness, but how they won doesn't seem to matter one bit to them," Kenji states. "Takashi and Kohta had this match won until Bakura and Marik interfered."

"You say they interfered, but let me correct you there, Kirby; they didn't lay their hands on Komuro and fatty. They didn't lay their hands on The Wolves to give them the easy win. It was Kohta's own fault for even dropping Rollins to charge after Marik and Damian played smart by spearing him," Barney rationalizes.

"Don't try to pin this on Kohta when you know damn well about what we just saw, Stinson!" reprimands the Japanese commentator.

"Exactly what I was trying to explain to you, Stacy! Now quit twisting my words and let us bask how justice was served well," Barney proposes, much to Kenji's vexation.

"Nonetheless, this was our result. Best we can do is move on…but I doubt Takashi and Kohta will do the same," Markiplier foreshadows.


Backstage Segment – Drew Malino interviews Hart of Hyuga on their response to iGeneration's mockery

"What's up? Hello—YO, it's Drew Malino, all well-dressed and ready to go! Am I all set to do my job? HA, HA-HA—HELL YEAH!" Drew raps, earning a round of applause from the crowd. "My guests at this time, everybody…they are the ACW Women's Tag Team Champions, welcome Hart of Hyuga!"

Soon as Hinata Hyuga and Samantha Hart came onscreen with their titles, the audience bringing loud cheers to their arrival. Drew then proceeds his job, "Ladies, last week, iGeneration called you out for a title match…but it was actually just an excuse to make fun of you two on live TV with their version of how they portray you both. Any type of response?"

Hinata and Sam look at each other, vividly annoyed from remembering that segment as the latter speaks, "Believe me when I say this, Drew…we were pissed then…and we still are. What those bitches did to humiliate us was disgraceful, tasteless and all around disrespectful. Those sluts don't have any sort of respect for anyone but themselves and anyone who shares the same selfish, egomaniacal attitude as them like Moon, Mai, Aelita and the rest of the f*cking Queendom."

"If this is how they're going to treat us on the way to Summer Wars, then I fail to see how they'll take away our tag belts. Nonetheless, as disrespectful they can be…they're also equally dangerous," Hinata states. "We won't brush off their success and how they work together when in the ring, but we'll be damned if allow people like Carly Shay and Sam Puckett take our belts and run amongst the division to stroke their egos. We will not lie down for the likes of iGeneration and the Queendom as a whole. It's as Téa said, we'd rather let our reign continue than let people like iGeneration run with them and act like they're the queens of the Women's Division."

"It's true we're not the best champions due to backstage and booking bull crap, but we're not the worst," Samantha utters. "What's also true…is Hinata and I aren't the best of friends, but with the months we've spent as champions…goes to show how my respect has grown for her. She's a good wrestler and a good partner, that much I can admit. Even though I don't like her…there's nobody I hate more than those Whorewomen who think they're better than everyone else. They're menaces to women's professional wrestling itself as they need to be put to a stop by Summer Wars. Since Hinata and I want to keep these titles and keep those two at bay from winning, we'll be more than happy to work together and that should be more important than anything else."

"So you say, Miss Hart?"

Hart shuts her eyes at recognizing that voice of a tech nerd, silently cursing to herself as she and Hinata turn around…

…to meet Carly Shay, Sam Puckett and Freddie Benson, who the audience boo so loudly, it can be heard through backstage, when they walk up to the Women's Tag Team Champions.

"Because…the way you speak, it's almost like you're lying to yourself. I mean, I hear you say about the 'respect' has grown for your fellow tag team champion, who I remind you that you despised her guts since around the beginning of ACW. You even complained to Alvarez himself about you being forced to team with the likes of her. *gestures to Hinata* And I quote, 'How in the hell could you put me in a tag team match with that girl you call a mere wrestler'? Hm? Then there was the time in May, a worst month at that for this young promotion, you really showed how much you hated her with the trash you've talked about her on commentary. Then, there was week three when you two had to defend the titles in order to make sure you, Samantha Hart, are to be trusted for Hinata's sake by letting go of your hate for her, even for just a bit. You succeeded in retaining your belts that night and Spring Breakdown over a week later. All that said…it brings me to this; Samantha Hart, you can say all of that in the mic in front of camera for the measly, pathetically feeble-minded audience and your partner…but I ask you…which do you actually respect more: your own tag team partner…or the golden tag belt around your waist that's keeping you relevant because when you lose, there's no stopping you from turning on the Hyuga Princess when you feel like your career has instantly gone down?" Freddie asks with a sneer to heavy boos, much to iGeneration's satisfaction with their smug grins.

As Hinata looked worried for Hart's answer, Hart licks her lips before responding, "You know…for the personal bitchboy of the team of a definitely closeted lesbian and a future hooker, you know how to spew sh*t exactly like them."

"I spew the truth, Miss Hart. Take in what I said. It'll only make things so much easier for when your pitiful reign comes to an end by the end of August," Freddie recommends.

"What the nerd's been saying the whole time," Sam chimes in.

"I can handle this, thank you," Freddie deadpans.

"You can say all of that as much as you can, but it just won't matter in the end by Summer Wars," Hinata says. "We are taking a stand against the likes of you. We've defended these belts until we had to miss out on Rebellion because creative didn't have anything for Hart and I, even then, our title reign hasn't been that great…but it isn't the worst. We will not allow you to take these belts away from us for as long as we FIGHT. Téa put up her title on the line last week just to shut your mouths and prove why she earned her belt. And just like her by Summer Wars, we'll be doing the same."

"So cute you think you can stop the impossibility of retaining your belts and beating us, the current and longest reigning three-time GAIA Tag Team Champions," Carly mocks arrogantly.

"That's the thing, Shay…we know we'll beat you. And for the record…this isn't GAIA Women Athletes. This is Awesome Championship Wrestling and in here…you'd have to take these belts from our cold dead hands," Hinata boldly asserts, holding up her title to her face.

"Oh, we'll be glad to do so by then after we SQUASH you, little princess," Sam Puckett replies, cracking her knuckles. "I know I'm looking forward to it with you first later on."

Meanwhile, Hart pondered with her finger tapping her chin, getting a bit of attention before asking, "…Didn't you tap out like a little bitch from Brass Ring?"

And THAT sets off the meat enthusiast as she immediately charged at Hart! However, she gets held back by Freddie and Carly, the former telling her to save it for the ring when she fights Hinata next while she gets pulled away kicking and screaming and cursing at the champions; the camera focuses back to Hinata and Samantha glaring at their challengers as the latter smirks.

"…Guess my match might end up having me thrown around the ring like a rag doll," Hinata says, raising a brow at Samantha.

"Sorry," the raven-haired girl gives a small sheepish smile.

"It's whatever. Right now…I have a match to get to…and you're accompanying me," Hyuga replies.

"For as long as I keep that skinny little prissy bitch at bay by beating the crap out of her…why not?" Sam shrugs, this time with an anticipating grin as the Women's Tag Team Champions leave.

The camera pans back to Drew Malino alone, who turns to it and says, "Well…that match is up next. And until then, we'll be back after these commercials," he pauses to put on his sunglasses, "…and a brief moment of Classy Monkey Time!"

The YouTuber proceeds his Classy Monkey Time dance, going on for a few seconds to the audience's amusement before dancing away off-screen.

"…Why did we hire him again?" Barney dryly asks.

[Commercial Break]


Hinata Hyuga (with Samantha Hart) vs. Sam Puckett (with Carly Shay [and Freddie Benson on commentary])

– Soon as the bell rang, Puckett charged right out of her corner after Hinata, who Matrix evaded her followed by a back handspring Enzuigiri! Right out of the gate, the powerhouse blonde prematurely went for the kill as it backfired on her. Stated by Mark, it's obvious Sam was still livid over Hart's reminder about Brass Ring and she really need to take her anger out; as she's got this match with Hinata, it was the right opportunity for her…but since she was thinking too much with her rage, she paid for that quickly.

– Hinata takes the Devour of Meats into the corner and practically slices her skin off with a backhand chop, continuing so with four more until wasting little time to lift her up on the top turnbuckle and hopping to flip her over with a Frankensteiner. She then takes Sam's left wrist in an arm wrench, quick on her feet to run up the turnbuckles like stairs, rope walk the ring ropes and perform an amazing Springboard Tornado DDT. After Sam kicked out, Hinata refocuses back on the arm she wrenched previously, apparently deciding to weaken a body part for an easier advantage as she holds the female powerhouse of iGeneration in a prone position in a Fujiwara Armbar. She stretches the arm back as much as she can until Sam found an opening to reverse it into a side headlock to keep Hinata down…but the Hyuga Heiress thinks ahead to use the momentum against Puckett for a sneaky, immediate roll-up, which Sam kicks out to the sign of relief from Carly and Freddie.

– All Sam knows how to do is eat, train, brutally destroy her opponents in the ring, sleep and repeat, commented by Benson, who grimaces about how that's not exactly happening with Hinata always a step ahead of her.

– Another arm wrench made by Hyuga and she flips her on her back, lands a leg drop on the arm, and applies the keylock. Puckett would occasionally pull at her hair, forcing referee Nikolas Alba to count and be very strict with her, even with the disrespect she gave to the stone cold Russian official. Hinata carefully rises to her feet with the arm down flat…before stomping right on the mat when Sam rolls away in time! Hinata ambles over into a back body drop, landing on the apron safely, but Sam strikes her face with a forearm smash, then hits the opposite ropes to bounce off and take her off the apron with a shoulder block to the midsection.

– Hart checks on her tag partner before getting rudely kicked away by Puckett's baseball slide, receiving boos from the crowd towards the cheap blindside as Carly applauds with a shit-eating grin. The co-host of iCarly exits the ring to force Hinata back in the ring, the action resuming with Sam nailing a hellacious Big Boot to a kneeling Hinata followed by a knee drop and it only gets her a kick-out at 2.49. Sam grabs Hinata's left leg as she drags her over to a corner, exiting the ring as she says, "Find it funny to try and wreck my arm, bitch? Let's see how you handle hopping on one foot," and then—Hinata pulls her leg back, yanking Sam head-first into the ring post! Hinata rolls out to get Sam back in and ascends very fast up on the top rope, leaping back down for a Diving Leg Drop Bulldog…

…and Sam evades it…

…while European Uppercutting the leg that was about to drive her head down! Hinata tends to her attacked knee as Sam, like a relentless carnivore, constantly targets the leg. Punching it, kicking it, elbowing it, leg dropping on it, applying a few submission holds—you name what Sam is doing to soften Hinata's leg and doing whatever it takes to leave a satisfied winner.

– Sam put Hinata in a devastating leg lock…by wrapping her weakened leg around the bottom ring rope to just ruin it further. Nikolas Alba notes of this illegal use of the ring ropes and strictly warns her to let go as he counts up to four because Sam knows she can't take a chance at losing, but wanted to make sure Hinata suffered. As Puckett was getting a hasty foreboding by the official, Carly takes sudden advantage to worsen Hinata's leg with pulling at it around the bottom rope as the crowd boos heavily. She distances herself and pretended nothing happen with the fake smile as Samantha Hart was not so very amused. Puckett now continues working on the bad leg with her own right leg tied around it and simulates sitting on the leg before lying down. Hinata reacts to all the action to her leg in agony, but had to stay strong as she constantly kicks her opponent in the chest and face, but every time she has done so, Sam reacts back with harsh slap to her chest and her face, the latter with much disrespect while talking trash. After having enough of the kicks, Sam yanks at Hinata's hair and punches her face in, apparently releasing the hold. Hinata gets to all fours as the blonde stalks on top of her, but she trips forward when Hinata faked her out. She seeks a Ninja Kick (Buzzsaw Kick) and misses, Sam holding onto the bad leg, but Hinata grabs the weak arm and snaps it down right over her shoulder!

– Hinata follows her opponent when she rolled over to the corner and gets a boot to the face for her troubles. Sam steps up on the second rope, stalking Hinata and taking a dive…into a Double Knee Armbreaker to her left arm! Granted, she didn't completely damage it due to her bad leg, but Sam was feeling the pain. As she rises, Hinata goes for a Tornado DDT, but she catches her midway…and that was actually on purpose for Hinata to seal in a Kimura Lock! However, Puckett escapes it quickly by ramming her into the turnbuckles, proceeding with repeated turnbuckle thrusts.

– Sam carries Hinata to her feet when she gets caught in a surprise Armbar, wrenching it to have Sam go down on her knees. Although, Puckett is able to rise to her feet and musters up the strength to hit a One-armed Powerbomb onto Hinata followed by the Meathook (Stretch Muffler)…

…that of which Hinata manages to somehow slip out and into the Cross Armbar! Too stubborn to tap out, Sam slowly is able to turn the hold to have Hinata on all fours…

…when the Byakugan Princess feigns a Camel Clutch to only put her forward on her shoulders and bridges herself over Sam's legs for the out of nowhere victory!

– Hinata immediately rolls out of the ring as Samantha reunites with her partner, and Nikolas Alba returns their belts to them and raises the former's arm to signal her as the winner. Not so surprisingly, Puckett is FURIOUS as she lies on the middle rope to glare at the Hart of Hyuga, exclaiming the result being complete "bullsh*t" like Carly and Freddie. The cameras go into backstage with a split-screen featuring ACW Women's Champion Téa Gardner and Mai Valentine, the former nodding as the latter scowls with arms folded.

– Before heading to commercial break, Kenji Matsuo notes the audience watching from their homes about two special sit-down interviews/promos between Naruto and Beowulf separately that will be on air later tonight.


Backstage Segment – The Genocidal Giant Feels Haunted Again…

Rogen Townsend has been on a hunt since Ignition III when he has been receiving the disturbing vignettes since for who knows what reason. He's rechecked the videos, talked to the production team who's been putting up the clips—everything and he got no answer. One way or another, he was going to find the person behind all these schemes and once he does, there's gonna be hell to pay.

He manages to catch a break in his pursuit when he found a door…that's written with black marker in maim disfigured font reading, "Don't open this door," and below it, "I'm watching you." Townsend scoffs, proclaiming them for making his search too easy as he enters through the door with the cameraman following…

…and all is pitch black for Rogen, who complained about not seeing a thing just like the audience watching. Thankfully for Rogen, he found a light switch and flipped it on…causing flickering brown lights to appear in a creepy manner like out of a horror movie. Despite this, he continued his pursuit, but carefully. As he did, he began hearing faint singing and couldn't make out the lyrics as he journeyed further. Along the way, he comes across more graffiti, either in English…or strange symbols that appear to represent DNA.

One graffiti line read, "FEAR NOT fear not" while the symbols looked gibberish to Townsend…as it actually translates above, "Do You Believe?"

Rogen went on with his search…and felt he had enough of finding nothing but symbols, the flickering lighting and the song had only worsen the environment for him, proceeding to call out for the person behind all of this.

"OI! Wherever the bloody hell you are, mate, you might as well come on out! Enough of these sodding games! COME OUT ALREADY!" Rogen shouts…

…and nobody answered. Other than the eerie faint singing that repeated over and over, there was just silence as Rogen had no response. He felt irritated…and slightly petrified at the same time with his current surroundings. He felt it was time to leave…especially after hearing a strange gurgling noise, taking off back to the door where he arrived…

…only to find out he's locked in the room. He pounded the door for anyone to let him out, but then a blue light shades over his back and he gradually turns around…

…to find a small television displaying blue static with disturbing white noise as the faint singing grew a bit louder to hear, "…nkle…kle…ittl…ar…" The screen is blurry, but the message seems clear enough to read…

"TO…23…14…19…5…ND…

"COME…19…21…13…5… 23…1…18…S…

"I…SHA…12…

"2…5… 23…8…15…LE… AGAIN…"

Instantly, a snapshot of a wall written in massive amounts blood that read "IT'S TIME" with a massacred corpse sitting next to it was seen. Rogen needed to get out of the room IMMEDIATELY, shouting for freedom as he rams his shoulder into the repeatedly until it finally opened. He falls flat on his side from the momentum of his shoulder rams. Turns out a backstage crew member unlocked the door after hearing Rogen's cries before closing the door, suddenly yelping and catching the attention of Rogen…

…whose eyes widen at the sight of door written in BLOOD that reads, "NO GOD, KNOW FEAR". That sign…was something as most of among the audience were cheering as they have a clue who is after Townsend now.


"The Billion Dollar King" Kurt Hudson (with Alyssa Parker) vs. "The Pharaoh" Atem

– More singles action was to come between two monarchs: king versus pharaoh. Atem heads for the ring, "Dark Passenger" by Fozzy blasting through the speakers as Kenji Matsuo brought up an early pre-taped promo cut by The Pharaoh, who challenged Venom for one match, one fight…a Street Fight; it wouldn't matter if it was just Venom or both amorphous extraterrestrial parasites if Carnage somehow is standing from RAMPAGE V, Atem is seeking vengeance and he will not stop until he has it for Yugi's downfall from Rebellion.

– Following that message, "I Come from Money" by S-Preme plays and Kurt Hudson walk out onto the stage with Alyssa Parker accompanying him. Turns out, Hudson also had cut a rather angry promo himself targeted towards the Webhead about their match last week that was considered an absolute fluke. He declared next time the two meet again, there will be no fluke as the Priceless Monarch will make his suffering tame to what he did to him post-match.

– Hudson easily controls Atem at the start with his expertise in freestyle wrestling, keeping Atem grounded on the canvas much to the Pharaoh's frustration and Alyssa's applause. Kurt knew about Atem's current ordeal against The Symbiotes and has been using that as an advantage to keep himself on top of this contest. He'd eventually pay for it for by attempting a back arch throw he thought he succeeded with arrogance when Atem actually landed on his feet just fine and catches Kurt off guard with a Snap Release German Suplex of his own, landing him flat on his chest.

– Atem executes the Turnbuckle Powerbomb, then nailing a two-hit combo with the Corner Clothesline followed by a Bulldog and this only gives him the two-count. Although, Yami Yugi has been taking it to the Billion Dollar King since he brutally planted him with the release back arch throw, striking punches to the face, blatantly choking him in the corner and hitting him with a Clothesline to the outside. Noted by Zack Carver, it's obvious Atem has revenge against The Symbiotes still lurking within his dark mind and has been using Kurt as nothing more than a practice dummy. Although, by Barney Stinson's adding, who's to say Kurt might not be doing the same once he regains control? While Alyssa helps Kurt to his feet, Atem gains momentous speed to hit the ropes…

…and Hudson shoves his girlfriend away to safety as he takes the full contact of an Over-the-top-rope Suicide Dive by The Pharaoh! He shoves Kurt back inside the ring and steps on the apron to return when Alyssa clings onto his leg to prevent him from doing anything else. Referee Taylor Michaels heralds the Billion Dollar Queen to let go before doing the same to Atem when he grabbed onto her hair, definitely not in the mood for any kinds of outside interference with his expression gone dark…and Hudson makes the safe with a Falling Neckbreaker Hotshot right on the top rope that takes Atem down to the floor!

– Now it was Kurt's turn to display his mean streak, using this window of opportunity to not only resume control of the contest, but also zeroing in on the neck with multiple Neckbreaker variations; Falling Neckbreaker, Swinging Neckbreaker, a Rope-hung Neckbreaker, Fireman's Carry Neckbreaker, Hangman's Neckbreaker—you name it and Hudson has done them to soften Atem enough. Nevertheless, The Pharaoh is unwilling to stay down and too tough to submit to whatever Hudson applies to further damage to the neck.

– The Fortune Emperor has Atem flat on his stomach with his forearm brutally grinding against the nape, then taking him over to the bottom rope and chokes him with his foot pressing against the back of his neck. Referee Taylor Michaels counted up to four as Hudson removed himself from the illegal hold to earn a warning from the official while Alyssa slaps Atem across the face for earlier. After that, Kurt dragged his opponent back to the center and Soccer Kicks him up to all fours for him to wrap both arms around his waist…

…hoists him off the canvas…

…performs a Gutwrench Suplex…

…pulls down his left knee pad and hits the leaping knee drop straight down into his face…for a two-count. Kurt scorns at Atem's willpower, talking trash while smacking the back of his head before drilling him with a Duelist's Endgame, a parodied version at that; he stands and splays his arms conceitedly to boos…

…which change into cheers when Atem suddenly sits up like from the undead! It appears Atem wasn't even fazed by the finishing move as he was just PISSED OFF and Hudson can clearly see that with the hole stared through him by Yami. Kurt backs away from the eerily and slowly rising former spirit as he gets cornered into the turnbuckles, having no choice but to swing a fist, but Atem blocks and fires a series of fists to the temple. He mercilessly punches him down into a seated position in the corner and pushes his foot against his throat to choke him out, much to Kurt kicking helplessly and Taylor Michaels enforcing the five-count before getting scared away out of the ring by Atem's evil glare. The Pharaoh sees how Kurt is in position as he backs up a few feet…

…runs…

…and performs the Jeff Hardy esque rope-aided corner dropkick straight into the heart of Kurt Hudson, tribute to Yugi Mutou!

– Atem lands the Diving Leg Drop across the neck…then strikes a Diving Elbow Drop to the back of the head of a bent-over Kurt…and twists the left arm as he ascends to the top turnbuckle, ropewalks to the middle…and nails the Old School! He takes him to the silver ring ropes, where he Irish whips him off to the opposite side…but Hudson reverses it, running and bouncing off the ropes after him…and the Rebound Clothesline by Kurt is evaded…

…into a Twist of Fate, Pharaoh's Endgame! He covers with the leg hooked: 1…2…

…VENOM HAULS TAYLOR MICHAELS OUT OF THE RING! He gets up on the apron as Atem is forced to release the pin and forearm smashes Eddie Brock's face in, unintentionally knocking him into the official! Thankfully, Taylor is only dazed, much to Atem's relief as he turns around to refocus on Hudson…

…who nails Atem with a low blow uppercut! The Billion Dollar King takes advantage to pick up a weakened Pharaoh and plants him with the High-priced Powerbomb (Belly-to-belly Suplex flipped into a Sitout Powerbomb)! Kurt pins Atem: 1…2…

…3!

– Kurt Hudson takes home the win, vacating himself from the ring and celebrating with his girlfriend, whom he close in his arms and plants quite a passionate kiss for a moment as he proclaims, "Victory belongs to the REAL KING tonight!" Meanwhile, Venom is left in the ring with Atem as he clutches his throat and lifts him up for a towering, vicious Chokeslam, getting Markiplier to state about Venom being a sadistic freak of nature. He glares down at the battered former Millennium Puzzle spirit and raises his fists, screeching that they (as in Venom himself) accept his challenge as "Rebellion" by CFO$ plays out for his exit. As inquired by Markiplier, will he survive Venom's wrath or will he suffer the same fate as Yugi Mutou?

Backstage Segment – "Cutie Pie" Marzia Bisognin interviews Ash Ketchum

– Ash Ketchum has been in a very good mood since Ignition V and Marzia Bisognin noticed that very much since introducing him. The Italian YouTuber divulges the reason for his current emotion, which was his interference that resulted to have an official rematch against Seto Kaiba at Summer Wars and Ash responded that he is actually proud of Kaiba for actually growing a set to actually wrestle him in a match and it's obvious they're not going to move on from each other until they settle this personal feud between then. He went on to point out this whole predicament only began all because of Kaiba's ego getting shot back at Reign in Blood and it was downright pitiful, but not so surprising bearing in mind who he is dealing with. He knows how dangerous Kaiba can really be in and outside the ring from the personal experience and from the history of his fiction wrestling career. Ketchum is on a mission to put Kaiba in his place and for vengeance with all the things he has done to him to make his life Hell the past month of June.

– Marzia was quick to point out how his current ACW pay-per-view track hasn't been exactly well, already 0-3 since Spring Breakdown, but she knew Ash's recent loss at Rebellion was completely unfair. However, she did mention that his win-loss record in ACW overall not exactly perfect. Ash agreed, albeit reluctantly…and he stated optimistically that's going to change soon enough by Summer Wars and he's going to make a prime example of that by his upcoming match as he leaves.


"The Very Best" Ash Ketchum vs. "The True Son of Sparda" Vergil (with Arkham)

– Before the match officially got started, "Lights Out" by Breaking Benjamin plays to incite massive boos by the crowd as Seto Kaiba walks down to the ring and around it…apparently heading to the ringside announce table. It turns out that Kaiba is going to be the special guest commentator for this match-up, much to Barney's joy and Ash's indignation.

– Now the Pokémon anime protagonist affirmed that in his interview…he'd soon come to eat those words as he's up against the likes of Vergil, who is well known for his stiff and quick attacks that can possibly break a bone with one simple strike. He found this out while he was about go for a simple Test of Strength when Vergil yanked him by the hand into a sick knee strike to the midsection followed by a sharp elbow to the back of his head. Ash rolled away in pain to the ropes, where Arkham was standing nearby with the smug sneer on his face, telling the overall 11-time world champion that Kaiba was right about learning to keep his mouth shut in the first place because using his client an excuse for practice until Summer Wars was nothing more than insult to the scowling oldest son of Sparda and ensures his fate by tonight is a terrible one. The following two words towards Vergil leave Arkham's mouth: "Crush him," and the demonic swordsman obliges so by forcing Ash into a corner and repeatedly stomping his chest to point where Ash is sitting down taking these unforgiving kicks. Not even referee Corey Jackson could be able to stop him with the five-count as he attempted to pull him off only for Vergil to snap his head at him with a dark glare that caused him to immediately back away, much to the corrupted priest's amusement.

– Ash was getting decimated throughout most part of the match in the hands of the self-proclaimed True Son of Sparda. He may have gotten a few good hits in, but Vergil always makes sure the control of this bout maintains on his side, always a step or two ahead of his fellow veteran. When Ash evades crashing down to the thinly padded floor by Skinning the Cat, he gets caught with a Snap Release German Suplex and lands right in the back of his neck. When Ash tries a Quick Attack, Vergil knocks him out of the air with a Big Boot to the face. When Ash surprises Vergil for an F-U, he drops down behind him and delivers a echoing Step-up Enzuigiri that practically knocked him out to a kick-out at nearly three. No doubt Ash getting one-sided is entertaining to Kaiba.

– Thankfully, Ash found the opening he desperately needed after being back body dropped to the outside when he landed on the apron instead…and Vergil sees this, being goaded into coming after him…which Ash succeeds his taunt with a shoulder block to the midsection, sticks his head between his legs and performs his own back body drop. While Vergil recovers and rises to his vertical base, Ash uses this limited time to ascend on the turnbuckles all the way to the top…verifies Vergil is up on his feet, positioning himself…and takes a huge dive with the picture-perfect Moonsault right on his opponent! Ash is now on top from the ovation he's receiving before getting Vergil back inside the ring for a near-fall. With the momentum now on his side, Ash takes the self-proclaimed True Son of Sparda down with a couple of Clotheslines, then an Inverted Atomic Drop followed by a Scoop Slam. He arrives on the top turnbuckle again, fans finding this consecutive combinations very familiar with the pop they're giving…and Ash wastes little time for the Diving Elbow Drop…that is halted when Jester stands on the apron acting like his name says to distract the official and an unamused Ash…who realizes what's happening and he's too late to react when Vergil springs on the turnbuckles and flings him across the ring with an explosive Double Underhook Superplex!

– Vergil, albeit slightly tired, went for his Yamato, this variation being a Handspring Cutter…which was abruptly stopped at its tracks when Ketchum nails a fearsome Running Low-angle Dropkick to his upside-down face! That momentous burst of energy gave Ash enough time to muster up whatever power he can find from within. He walks over into a straight-up Toe Kick to the gut, Vergil then taking him to the ropes for an Irish whip…

…Ash bounces off…

…ducks the swinging Clothesline…

…ricochets for a Running Leaping Shoulder Block! He hits another and then ducks the right hook by Vergil, who he carries off his feet and slams him at the center of the ring with a Spin-out Powerbomb! Ash—Superkicks Arkham off the apron! With that attempted distraction out of the way, Ash wastes little time for quick theatrics of "You Can't See Me!"…towards Kaiba at the commentary table, then hits the ropes, comes back to dust his shoulder off with a smirk…and hits the Poké Shuffle (Five Knuckle Shuffle)! Vergil soon stands and is dazed enough to be lifted into a Fireman's Carry, Ash holding up the demon/human hybrid…as Seto steps on the apron…and Vergil slips off the shoulders to push him straight into Kaiba, who Ash spears right through the ropes! Ash shakes the cobwebs off after that hard landing and returns to the ring, getting a kick to the gut by Vergil as he readies to hit the Force Edge…

…and Ash yanks him onto his shoulders…

…Attitude Adjustment—REVERSED INTO THE YAMATO! Vergil was flipped forward and he snatches Ash's head perfectly to hit the Yamato! One hook of the leg and Vergil takes home the pinfall victory.

– "Flash of the Blade" by Avenged Sevenfold blasts through the speakers, Vergil rolling off of Ash and standing on the canvas besides his fallen opponent with his hand raised to his somewhat clean win. The crowd is on their feet to present with a mixed reaction as Vergil takes his leave with Arkham tending to his jaw…

…and inside the ring, Ash has his back SMASHED by the steel chair in Kaiba's hands! An irate Seto sets the folded chair down and drills Ash's head into it with a Snap DDT…but to him, he was FAR from done. He stands up with Ash in tow by his hair, holding him in the standing headscissors with arms hooked tight…and PLANTS Ash with the White Dragon Plunge!

– Battered, broken and flat on the canvas…is where Satoshi belongs and that'll be his very position by Summer Wars, as proclaimed by Seto Kaiba, who's arms are splayed arrogantly like his sneer with "Lights Out" booming throughout the Intrust Bank Arena that is filled with intense boos.


Sit-down Interview Segment – Beowulf's perspective on the Undisputed Champion

In this pre-taped segment, Markiplier took the time to have a sit-down interview with the challenger for the ACW Undisputed Championship held by current titleholder Naruto Uzumaki. With Summer Wars coming up, he wanted to know what his thoughts are going into the big event of the summer and this is what we received…

"Beowulf, first of all, thank you for taking your time of day on your schedule to present yourself in this interview we are about to do," Markiplier expressed as Beowulf nods. "Now to start…with the upcoming major event known as Summer Wars where you will face Naruto Uzumaki for his ACW Undisputed Championship, what are your thoughts of your current rising status as the number one contender?"

Beowulf, after licking his lips as his thumb scratches his nose, replies, "Well, when any challenger is asked that, they feel as if the pressure is real and right on their shoulders. I carry none of that. Nothing is holding me back from heading into Summer Wars as the challenger and walking out of Summer Wars as the next Undisputed Champion. To see how far I've come since my arrival in this young wrestling promotion has been quite a journey for a warrior like myself. Right now, I am at 9-0—it has been 98 days since I embarked my arrival to the Fiction Wrestling Multiverse, three years in real-life time…and they're about to culminate by the end of Summer Wars."

"Did you believe you could've debuted in any other way?" Mark asks.

"Honestly, I have not. Even I did, the impact I've made wouldn't be the same as taking on the first-ever world champion of ACW on one warrior's debut," Beowulf says. "My rise here after pinning the Undisputed Champion on my debut is something the zealot audience won't ever stop bringing up about. It's a memory that will never fade away."

"Many fans have anticipated this match between you and Naruto as a future classic since you two fought before back on May 3. Do you agree?"

"Yes, I do. This main event Naruto and I will clash for his title…shall be expected to be much better than the first time we fought in that small battlefield. As we're surrounded by the legions of villagers from Los Angeles, California to witness a match that will be remembered forevermore," Beowulf states.

"Mm-hmm… Now another question, from your point of view…just how do you feel towards the current world champion?" Mark inquires.

"I respect him and all that he's done in the industry. He has the accolades, the star power, the championships, the accomplishments and right now, he's finally a Hall of Fame inductee at his prime as a warrior of the squared circle. As the challenger, I aim to claim the world gold he holds. I know I could've challenged him a second time for the gold then after defeating him the first time…but I felt differently about it. I had to make sure my name is more known in the wrestling industry, not just a legend. And to this day, young Fischbach, I rightfully earned myself into this unchallenged contender's spot after the obstacles I set myself up to get where I am today as the first King of Blood. I admit Naruto confessing he was afraid then surprised me…but who's to say he's lying? Not just to me, the fans, and everyone else, but also himself? He may just very well be a prideful warrior hiding his fear deep within himself so he can withstand what I have in store for him. Whether he denies this or not, he knows he cannot stop the inevitable. Because to be forthright…what can Naruto do to a man who hasn't been defeated once? I'm far different from anyone he's faced before. I am not Sasuke Uchiha. I am not Townsend. I am someone he knows he's afraid of. I am no normal man. I am a hero among legends. I am the Beast of Geats. I am King of Blood. I…am…BEOWULF…and I'm the next ACW Undisputed Champion of the World," proclaims Beowulf, slightly leaned forward from his seat before slowly leaning back.

Backstage Segment – Ortiz confronts his childhood oppressor

– To a lot of people, James Griffin thrives on making his victims' lives miserable as a longtime bully, especially towards Hernan Ortiz, whose life he made a living hell since their childhood. No one knows why he does this in the first place and why he continues to do so against Hernan when they're in their late teens or as young adults as they should've moved past that now…and that's what the New Enigma intended to find out.

– So, Hernan was found walking through backstage, searching all over for James to seek the answers for last week. He knows perfectly well why James distracted him in his match against Luke Smith considering Hernan did interfere with Griffin's match at Rebellion for the ACW Phenomenal Championship…when Hernan was justified because of James attacking him during the Battle Royale back at Ignition IV, causing him to be eliminated afterwards with Hernan's attention on James. After asking around for a while, he finally comes across the red-eyed bully at the table full of food for anyone backstage.

– "Listen, Griffin," Hernan starts, "there's no doubt you and I have been enemies since we were kids. You've bullied me to no end all the way through to our wrestling careers. Now these past few weeks with you interfering with my Battle Royale match, me attacking you during the Ultimate X bout and last week with your distraction have shown me that this whole ordeal between us has been gone on long enough. I'm talking about you always constantly bullying me since we were kids…and seriously, man, we're too old for this, but you refuse to move on. Why? You obviously have your reasons for doing what you do…otherwise, you're just an asshole with nothing better to do than make other's lives miserable. Just what the hell did I do to get you? I've done NOTHING to piss you off, Griffin. If anything…I'd just want to bury the hatchet, man… We're practically adults now… So we have to move on. Can we do that? Huh?"

– For a moment, it seemed James contemplated Hernan's words as he was chewing his food, looking down at his bowl full of cocktail sauce for his shrimp…but he responds, "You know, Ortiz," James sets down his bowl on the table, "for someone I expected to be smarter than he looks…you're actually so stupid, you haven't even figured out why I do what I do to you in the first place. You don't even remember the CAUSE of our feud to this day. Since that's the case…you don't deserve an answer. Not from me. You'll never know—and that's that. So you might as deal with it and suffer for it, Ortiz…because what happened on that day that changed me is something I will NEVER forget…nor will I ever forgive YOU or your family."

– Griffin walks away, purposely shoving shoulders past Hernan, who is just all confused by what he was talking about and agitated more by his offer rejected. He feels like his situation has gotten worse from this.


"The Amazing" Spider-Man vs. "Sin Eater" Venom

– Even though this incarnation of the Webhead is the cinema incarnation while Venom is the comic book/animated version, Spidey has had experience from the monstrous symbiote from Spider-Man 3, movie and game wise and from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 video game. Nonetheless, in wrestling terms, Cinema!Spider-Man is technically a rookie while Venom is the veteran…and Venom was more than happy to finally get his hands on the Wall-crawler, even if it isn't the original—he's just glad to lay waste to a Spider-Man as getting to destroy the rookie seems like a bonus for him.

– Spider-Man was quite elusive at first, countering power moves by Venom with arm drags, headscissors takedown, and float-overs into either a DDT or Neckbreaker. Around then, he did add in his signature sense of humor with his Octopus Hold locked in and resting nicely with a cheeky grin, waving at the audience who chuckle in amusement to his antics. Obviously, this was to get into Venom's head. Then at one point, he brought Venom outside after snatching his head with his legs and pulling him over the ropes via Skin the Cat, then hit the ropes inside the ring to fly and land a Over the top rope Somersault Suicide Dive…which Venom caught and SQUASHED the young superhero on the attenuated padded floor with an Inverted Front Powerslam. From there, it was obvious that everyone's favorite Marvel valiant character is in trouble.

– Venom has been superior over the rookie, not only 'cause of veteran abilities, but as well of his scary brutality and getting to destroy Spider-Man, who barely obtained an opportunity to reverse their roles. As Eddie Brock Jr. pulled him to the ropes with an Irish whip, Peter Parker does duck a Lariat to springboard off the ropes with a Tornado DDT…and he is caught in his clutches…though he reacts quickly with the Guillotine Choke, including bodyscissors…

…but this didn't completely stop Venom from smashing two fists against his lower back repeatedly, and then ramming him into each respective turnbuckles, smashing Parker into his final corner after he went limp from hitting third corner. The symbiote powerhouse carries him to the center, lifts him high with both arms in a Gorilla Press and cackles, "Hope you like falling to get SQUASHED as much as you love web-slinging, Spider-Man!" as he runs to the ring ropes…

…and FLINGS him right over to make Spidey crash HARD onto the announce table! The commentators were smart enough to move out of the way in time, but they were lucky their table didn't collapse like paper as Barney commented…much to Kenji's scolding of that being more important than Spider-Man's current condition. Venom does take the Wall-crawler back inside the ring that stopped the ten-count up to six for the pinfall…and referee Andrew Styles' counts up to 2.582 after he kicked out considering the Original Symbiote took his time to enjoy watching his agony.

– Right now, Eddie is continuing his slow torture against the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, taking his time in his strikes and holds…perhaps a bit too much time because when he went for a Powerbomb, Spider-Man becomes the human poetry in motion by slipping down behind him, rolling forward to his feet, and stiffly striking Venom's knee with a Low-angle Dropkick, forcing him into the middle rope for a chance to run at the ropes near by the corner in front of him and hits a Wrecking Ball Dropkick, T.J. Perkins style! Spidey stands on the apron as he measures Venom to his feet…

…goes for a Springboard Jumping Spider…

…which is seized midway with Spidey hanging upside-down…

…Venom setting up the Venomous Termination…

…but Peter somehow reaches his foot around to nail his heel onto his opponent's head repeatedly until his release. The Webhead reaches to his feet, ducking a Big Boot while suddenly dropkicking the left knee like earlier and with Venom aiding his leg, Spider-Man has established himself back in control. He runs up to him from behind, leapfrogs over, hits an Overhead Kick and brings him down to lock in the Kneebar that transitions into Leglock Inverted Cloverleaf, his updated Spider's Web! However, Venom was still resilient enough to break the hold by uncrossing his legs.

– By the end of the bout, Spidey went flat on the canvas after officially eating the Big Boot from Venom, who is currently ascending the top turnbuckle as he's actually attempting for a high-flying maneuver. He took a bit of time, but once he got in position…the lights dim as the Millennium Symbol appears right in the middle of the ring! Venom is surprised by the glowing golden eye appearing on the canvas, but then he remembered where he is at…

…and Spider-Man sprung to his feet and flipped Venom over with the Frankensteiner! Venom starts rising to his feet, prompting Spider-Man to bounce off the ropes…

…and plants him with the Spider Bite, getting the pinfall for the 1-2-3!

– To the audience's surprise, Spidey has earned an upset win over a former tag team champion clean as a whistle, albeit with a bit of a distraction…much to the chagrin of one seething Eddie Brock Jr. lying alone in the ring and glaring at the victorious Peter Parker, whose hand is raised by the official. When Venom had rose to his feet to bellow at the departing Wall-crawler who smirks, the Millennium Symbol appears again over of the symbiote powerhouse. If Eddie wasn't pissed then…let's just say this just added fuel to the FIRE.

Backstage Segment – Mike "The Mic" Martin interviews Kendra Daniels

– In just few minutes, Kendra Daniels will be heading out to the ring to face an opponent picked by The Four Horsewomen themselves to decide the fate of Evil Beauty whether or not they will be part of the women's championship matches between the titleholders and the challengers at Summer Wars. This is what Mike "The Mic" Martin brought up to Kendra for her upcoming match, asking if there is a slim chance she'll come out tonight as the winner.

– Supposedly offended, Kendra suggests Martin is acting as if she doesn't have a chance of winning at all. She would go on to say, "There are odds against someone such as myself and not everyone wants Evil Beauty involved with the women's title matches; nonetheless, I am not the type of woman to fall off the map so easily just because some goddamn Sailor Moon proxies coming into ACW and declaring themselves as the queens of the world like that. I won't take that. Allison Wilson won't take that. Eliza Hart won't take that. Evil Beauty will have none of that. Even if I lose, which I won't, my faction is not going to let themselves disappear; we will find ways to get what they want to make sure Téa and Hart of Hyuga fall as the belts come to us while the Horsewomen suffer, especially the latter. These egomaniacs are doing whatever it takes to stack up the odds against me to keep me out of the matches…and as a desperate and starving woman for gold, I will be doing whatever is necessary to ensure my victory, no matter the cost. Unlike those four that are in this industry for stroking their damn egos, I'm actually passionate enough to make my career a SUCCESS just like my stablemates. Whoever the Horsewomen chose, I'm going to see to it that the poor soul stupid enough to actually agree to step in my way as my opponent regrets being the victim of my wrath for being a simple roadblock on my mission to earn the opportunities me, Allison and Eliza rightfully deserve. Alpha & Omega, my fellow RR allies, have made their dreams come true at Rebellion…it's time I follow in their footsteps."

– After Kendra departed from the interview zone, Kenji notes that there is no denying that her eyes tell the truth of her full determination to do anything it takes to walk out of Wichita tonight as the victor.


Kendra Daniels vs. The Four Horsewomen's handpicked opponent

– Once Kendra made her arrival from the stage set to the ring, she met with an interesting mixed reaction from the audience, one side all for Evil Beauty to join the women's championship bouts just make the Horsewomen feel at a disadvantage and the other all for wanting EB out of the title picture for the time being. Daniels took no matters to acknowledge the reception as her focus is 100% on winning this special match for her stable. As soon as "Puppet(s) on a String" by Dale Oliver and Serg Salinas ended, Kendra stood at the center of the ring with her arms folded in a formal stance while she waits for her opponent chosen by the Horsewomen tonight. Eventually, music played…and to hers and the audience's surprise, "Hadou" by Yonosuke Kitamura is what was playing…proceeded by Satsuki Kiryūin walking out from the Gorilla Position to an explosive round of cheers! Taken in from the 2015 FWM Draft last year in real life time, this night marks the official debut for Satsuki, who steps into the ring and makes a statement to her that she has absolutely no acquaintance with the Horsewomen as she's only been picked for the job to prevent Kendra from winning, reminding her of her status as the holder of the Diamond in the Mine briefcase. This was to be an interesting bout as stated by Zack Carver.

– In the beginning, both women settled on having a mat-based technical contest as they are rather fast to evade each other's grasp to put each other down, Kendra getting the early edge…but it is the Kiryūin swordswoman that surprisingly overwhelms her opponent with her in-ring ability, actually once pinning both shoulders up to a near three-count. It's obvious Kendra was caught off guard, but she had to maintain her composure knowing she has to win tonight for herself and her stable.

– The two continue with their amateur wrestling styled session until Daniels, while in a waistlock, nails a vicious back elbow to Kiryūin's jaw, causing her to stagger to a corner…and catches her opponent with a heel-aided Big Boot, then hits a Diving Clothesline from the second rope, which gives her a near two-count. After that, she Irish whips her off the ropes, leapfrogs over—Kendra snatches her on her shoulders! Turnbuckle Powerbomb incoming…and Satsuki escapes, Kendra almost running into the turnbuckles as she stops herself…and finds herself suddenly planted with a German Suplex!

– Satsuki has Kendra in the side headlock, no signs of the hold ever loosening up…then Kendra falls to a knee…and that playing possum moment has Ms. Diamond in the Mine unprepared for a hoist in the air into the Back Suplex by Daniels!

– After landing a Standing Side Slam, Kendra takes to the skies as she stalks a rising Satsuki Kiryūin, taunting her to stand up and when she did…Kendra dives down off the top rope for an European Uppercut…

…and Satsuki turns her back on Daniels to hook the attacking arm with hers! She hooks both arms as Kendra panics…and absolutely DRILLS her with a sickening Backslide Driver! Kendra kneels dazed and goes back down flat on the canvas from a Big Boot from Satsuki, whom earns only the count of 2.42. Nonetheless, this match shows it belongs to her.

– With Satsuki on the offense, there was rarely a moment Kendra to turn the tide for her side. Kendra tries a Hip Toss, Satsuki reverses that with a standard Fireman's Carry Takeover. Daniels performs a Snapmare and thinks she's going to hit the Dropkick, Kiryūin is on her feet to nail a wicked Clothesline. The ACW RR District Leader felt she was at her wit's end, losing her composure little by little as she nearly smacked the mat from getting herself caught in a Headlock Takedown by Satsuki.

– The wearer of Junketsu later catches a kick from Kendra, drags her down with a Dragon Screw and transitions that into a heel hook. Daniels could not risk letting her shoulders lying flat as she knows she'd be a victim of her own demise, hating she's in the middle of the ring with her left leg trapped in a painful submission hold shot into her ligaments twisted to the left side; referee John Benoit has been asking if Kendra wants to give up, but she always replies with shaking her head. The look on her face tells she does want to, but Kendra knows the consequences of tapping out would mean for her. Seeing as there's no escape from the heel hook, an idea popped into her head; though, it is a risky considering her current position, but she has no other choice. Kendra reaches her right arm out to the left side…commentators eventually realizing she's actually trying to turn herself…

…yet Satsuki figures this out and twists the ankle to the right side…

…and that gives Kendra the momentum to turn in the same direction, rolling to the ropes close enough…

…to get the rope break! Satsuki was given no choice but to release her heel hook after four, left unsatisfied she couldn't bring her opponent to her breaking point…but she knows well how damaged the leg is right now.

– Kendra Daniels uses the ring ropes to pull her body up, pounding her left leg to regain feeling as Satsuki stalks her from a blind spot. Soon as Kendra turns around, she quickly reacts with a left kick, which is caught by Satsuki, who shakes her head for Kendra's lack of remembrance and strategy…

…and the brunette smirks in response as she did that on purpose to hit a leg-feed Enzuigiri! Even though Kendra managed to turn things around, Satsuki is still resilient enough to keep the bout well evened between them. Back and forth, back and forth, the momentum is traded by both women as they do not let up on their attacks. You have Kendra hitting the ropes…and leaping into a high knee by Satsuki! Then there's Satsuki zeroing in for a running soccer kick to Kendra who was on one knee…and Kendra reflexive enough to seize her with a Snap Powerbomb, flipping forward in a Jackknife pin until the kick-out at 2.68!

– Back against the turnbuckles, the wielder of Bakuzan blocks a fist from Kendra and switches spots with her, suddenly striking her chest with a cringe-worthy knife edge chop. She grabs her wrist, takes her over to the opposite corner and Kendra falls midway when her leg gave out. Shaking her head, Satsuki ambles over to grab her…and Kendra plays possum again by grabbing her tights's waistline and yanking her face-first into the second turnbuckle! Now deciding to play dirty, Kendra pulls at her hair with her foot placed behind her head, inciting a vituperating John Benoit to force the five-count…

…that ends at 4.8 as Kendra lets go of the hair, but curb stomps Satsuki straight into the turnbuckle! The Steel Queen is tending to her neck, head and mouth, especially the neck, after the devastating stomp…and Kendra is reminded of her weak spot as she smirks.

– Daniels has herself focused all on the neck of Satsuki Kiryūin, using almost every hold and attack in the book that all target the weak link. For example, instead of the usual Hair-pull Backbreaker, it was changed up into a Hair-pull Neckbreaker, ramming Satsuki's neck straight into her sharp right knee; a warning she received from Benoit, but she grins as she knows it was worth it. Kendra's arrogance catches up to her when she performed a Slingshot Crossbody and missed as Satsuki moved to the apron and she lands on her feet, causing the injured left leg to give out again…

…which gives Satsuki a chance to proceed an Irish whip…

…and Kendra hits back-first into the ring apron, then walks right into a Sternness Slinger (Flipping Release Belly-to-back Suplex)! She takes her back inside the ring for a pinfall that only earns a near-fall.

– Satsuki seeks the deadlift German Suplex on a rather limp Kendra Daniels, struggling as her opponent is realizing her situation and trying to wiggle herself out of the waistlock. Kendra leans herself forward while her legs wrap around the waist…

…and elevates herself up for the Divet DDT—Satsuki shoves her away! Kendra's leg almost gives out again, but she runs—into a drop toe hold and the Ankle Lock is set in! Daniels scurries to the ropes, but that's all she can try while circling the canvas as the Kiryūin swordswoman is not planning of letting go at all! Standing on her arms while screaming in agony, Kendra still reaches an arm out to the ring ropes that feel so close, yet so far from her…

…so she gives herself a quick push-up off the mat and rolls forward, using the momentum to swing Satsuki into a victory roll: 1…

2…

…kick-out at 2.75! Both women roll to their feet and Kendra drop toe holds her opponent, smoothly floating over, and transitioning it all into the Hass of Pain! There is no doubt how much physical misery Satsuki is going through with her screams explaining it all while her free hand is out desperately trying to grab something for a rope break! Daniels prolongs the most devastating submission hold ever created, never letting up at all, shouting at Satsuki Kiryūin to tap out! Knowing the swordswoman, she is too prideful to ever surrender, even if the pain is too much for her. She was going to find a way to escape one way or another…and so she reach the ropes closet to her…

…fingertips away…

…but Kendra wrenches the modified submission further, making her pull her hand back…

…John Benoit eyes very closely of Satsuki's hand in case she reaches her breaking point…

…yet it seems Satsuki might be so close so far as she starts fading…

but she keeps fighting

and somehow achieves grabbing the bottom rope! Kendra refuses to let go and John Benoit is giving her no choice with the five-count…that ends at 4.9 once she releases the hold, expression telling how frustrated and desperate she looks.

– After Satsuki left the ring to recover, an exhausted and exasperated Kendra groggily slides out to bring her back inside and climbs on the apron to head up the top turnbuckle. The former computer specialist for the USG Kellion watches her stirring opponent close to her rise, Satsuki using the ropes to help her…and that's when Kendra dives for a Knee Drop Bulldog…which fails to hit as Satsuki moved back and Kendra lands her knees on the mat! Considering her left knee was close to the apron, no doubt it hurt her more and it got worse when Satsuki nailed a shoot kick straight into the injured leg…

…then places it on the bottom rope…

…and drives down a Double Foot Stomp straight into the limb! Satsuki stalks Kendra for another soccer kick to her weak leg, and Kendra bends it back in evasion and then snatches her mid-run into a high-impact Death Valley Driver! That sudden burst of energy took a bit out of Kendra, but she makes the pin…and then the bell rings!

"DVD! Kendra into the pinfall and kick-out—AAH!" Markiplier yelps from the bell suddenly sounding off. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa…! What just happened?"

"The bell rang, but…but Satsuki kicked out in time when John stopped at two," Zack says. "Was the bell rung prematurely?"

"Or maybe the timekeeper wanted Kendra to win, he rebelled! The timekeeper is part of the Revolution!" Barney proclaims.

"…You are an idiot, Stinson," Kenji deadpans.

"No, it's called sarcasm, Danny—ever heard of it? C'mon, get with the program. Someone is screwing with this match and screwing with Evil Beauty's chances of winning!"

"Well, I ask again—what the hell just happened?" Mark repeats.

– Hearing the bell, Kendra lets go of Satsuki, finally relinquishing the Crossface and reaches herself to her knees in confusion, seeing John Benoit yelling at the timekeeper for ringing the bell prematurely when he is just as baffled as everyone in the Intrust Bank Arena. Kendra knew Satsuki kicked out since she knows she saw it herself; the official went out to talk to the ring announcer and the timekeeper, both telling him that their eyes were all on the match the whole time. Questions about who made the bell ring continued on, much to Kendra's frustration as the match must now restart…until she notices something out in the crowd…

…nearby the barricade where the timekeeper's spot is at…

…apparently, a fan was wielding a ring hammer…

…and that smirking "fan" removes their hood…

to reveal herself as Aelita Schaeffer, the rest of the audience now seeing this and booing HEAVILY towards the Fallen Angel!

"What the hell?! Aelita?!" Kenji yells.

"IT'S AELITA! She rang the bell! She was in the crowd the whole time with that hammer to throw everyone off!" Markiplier exclaims.

– Kendra, from confused to shocked to downright irritated, glares at the young pinkette for her inception, John Benoit seeing Aelita as the culprit and yelling at her to leave immediately…

…and during then, Kendra turns right around into a Harpie's Feather Duster from Mai Valentine!

"OH, SON OF A—Mai Valentine! This was PLANNED! This was all planned by the Horsewomen!" Kenji realizes. "They decided to throw out this bout and take matters into their own hands!"

"And the worst part is, Satsuki has no clue of this ever happening at all! It's obvious she has NOTHING to do with this inception!" Zack calls.

– As Mai swiftly left the ring, Kendra is left dazed and soon rising to her feet…before getting knocked back down with the Gowan Lariat (Discus Lariat) by Satsuki Kiryūin! But this wasn't enough, Satsuki, who actually has no clue of the situation for the moment, carries Kendra on her shoulders…

…and executes Bakuzan (Spinning Fireman's Carry dropped into a Sitout Side Powerslam)! Satsuki pins Kendra and the referee counts: 1…2…

…3!

("Hadou" by Yonosuke Kitamura plays)

"Here is your winner: the current Diamond in the Mine briefcase holder…Satsuki Kiryūin!" Maria declares.

"…GENIUS! PURE FREAKING GENIUS!" Barney praises. "Oh, what a way to keep irrelevant Kendra Daniels out of the title matches for the remaining time by Summer Wars! Seriously, kudos to the Lyoko Queen and the rest of the Horsewomen. …UGH, I AM SO CONFLICTED! I'm not even joking!"

"No, you're just a hypocritical idiot, Stinson," Kenji rolls his eyes.

"After all of what Kendra went through, she gets absolutely NOTHING for it. Why? Look through the crowd for a smug pinkette and you already know where the leader went," Zack shakes his head. "Kendra came so close to winning when it was for nothing. And it's all thanks to Horsewomen butting in…"

"Nevertheless, the result is what we see. Satsuki wins, Evil Beauty is BANNED from ringside at Summer Wars during the women's championship bouts and the Horsewomen are FREE to have their title shots against the champions without any sort of distractions," Mark reminds.

– Satsuki pushes herself up to her feet with her arm raised by referee John Benoit and her briefcase held up in her other hand as Kendra lies on the ground with no idea where she is right now. She sees the replays of the shenanigans and finally finds Aelita in the crowd, realizing why the bell had rung in the first place while the pinkette smirks, "You're welcome for the extra insurance; now run off, we have no use for you anymore." Aelita turns her heel (HA, puns) and takes her leave through the crowd, leaving Satsuki vexed. She looks back at the fallen Kendra Daniels and just shakes her head as she vacates herself from the ring to the stage set.

"And it is obvious Satsuki isn't exactly proud of how it all really went down," Markiplier says. "I do not want know Kendra's reaction when she realizes she lost."

– Soon, Kendra sits up nursing her head, wondering what happened…but her memory triggers over remembering Aelita ringing the bell prematurely and basically stealing the match right out of her hands. All she did was lie back, cover her face in shame and roll out of the ring with her head hung low…feeling absolutely defeated…with a mixture of disappointment…sadness…and anger all together in her heart.


Sit-down Interview Segment – Why Naruto Uzumaki doesn't fear The Beast of Geats

For this pre-taped segment, Naruto Uzumaki is brought in as Markiplier's second interviewee to hear his deliberation on his journey to Summer Wars and his opponent for the main event. What hangs in the air is whether or not Naruto could actually be afraid of the Beast of Geats after his interrogation aired early tonight…

"Good evening, Naruto; thank you very much for taking your time of day to have this interview with you," Markiplier greets, shaking his hand.

"Not a problem, Mark. Always glad to speak to you," Naruto smiles, wielding his ACW Undisputed Championship over his shoulder as he sits back into his seat from his handshake.

"Right now, Naruto, as the current ACW Undisputed Champion, you are 103 days in your reign. By the time you reach Summer Wars, you will be 119 days, over four months in since you won the title. How does that feel to you?" Mark asks.

"It is probably nothing surprising of the sort, really. Yeah, this is history making for Awesome Championship Wrestling so far, but for me, I've been there, done that. Nonetheless, it doesn't mean I'm not keeping this going. I'll probably have a long reign before you know it," Naruto replies.

"I see. As you know, five days after winning the Undisputed Championship at Southern Hell, Beowulf appeared. You were the first man he defeated on his in-ring debut, especially that you're the first-ever world champion of ACW. You brought up how you felt embarrassed last week during the contract signing."

"Who wouldn't feel that way? While I am glad my first match with Beowulf wasn't for the belt, it still didn't matter when he beat me after tossing me around like a rag doll. I got over it, though. It sucked, but I moved on…as you've seen from my last title defenses," Naruto utters as Mark nods.

"It has been exactly 98 days, 14 weeks, nearly four months since he embarked his career in the wrestling industry. As you know, Beowulf is the King of Blood—the first-ever to be exact. You are the current and reigning ACW Undisputed Champion. As King of Blood, Beowulf has the right to challenge you for your belt at Summer Wars. I've asked Beowulf this question, and now I ask you the same: do you respect Beowulf?" Markiplier questions.

"Of course, absolutely. Since day one, I've always respected him. From experience, the guy can wrestle, and from I've seen since we last fought, he can talk, too—he can back himself up. I always knew someday we fight again and honestly, I'm damn glad we will fight again. I mean…wow, nearly four months since we last clashed in the ring. As much as we respect each other, at the end of the day, we're going to Summer Wars as opponents and us both will have to step up our game once we step in the ring. This time it's for the belt and this time…it will be different," Naruto proclaims.

"Well, as you may know, the fans differ from that. One side supports you and the other supports Beowulf. That other that supports against you…still say you're afraid of Beowulf. You admitted last week you were petrified if you two were to face each other again, the result would be the same, but you stepped on that fear. Regardless, it's said that…you are actually still intimidated of him. Beowulf even believed you're lying to yourself like to him, the fans and everyone else. So is true…are you still afraid of Beowulf?"

"…No. I'm not. You wanna know why I'm not, Mark? What Beowulf is doing is nothing more than playing mind games on me. He wants me on my toes. He wants me to feel paranoid so he can pick the right moment to strike me down and take away my belt to continue his undefeated streak. As said, respect is there between us, but it can only go so far in this business. What's not a lie is this beast is undefeated. What's not a lie is that Beowulf is going to bring everything he's got from what I've seen, from what I've heard, from what everyone's witnessed and talked about…he's gonna give it 110% by the time Summer Wars arrives. And so am I. We will both bash each other. We will make each other bleed. We will take ourselves to our limit and over until one of us exhausts our fumes. We are going to give everything we have in our arsenal just for one belt that hangs in the balance: the ACW Undisputed Championship of the World. I say this again, so listen close…I am not afraid of Beowulf… I was then…but not anymore…and there is nothing he will do that will make me feel paranoid. I'm the one who helped him gave birth to the streak…and I'm going to be the one to help him kill it… Come Hell or high water, I'm walking out of Summer Wars the winner…and still…the ACW Undisputed Champion of the World. …Believe it." Naruto states, adjusting his belt on his shoulder and remaining a nonchalant expression on his face.

[Commercial Break]


Backstage Segment – The aftermath of Kendra's failed mission…

– Kendra Daniels makes her way backstage alone, nursing her ribs and slightly limping from her injured leg in ache and pain…then she leans her side against the wall as she stops at her steps…

…when Eliza Hart and Allison Wilson walk in to find their leader appear in guilt and disappointment. Kendra came so close…but so far…all because of the Four Horsewomen deciding to get their hands dirty.

– Daniels turns away from them, not looking at her stablemates in the eye for her failure…until Eliza assured that there is no shame for her loss as they all know they were screwed over. Allison assists her friend by putting an arm over her shoulder as an extra stand, asking her what is next for them…and Kendra states there is still much to do for them by Summer Wars while they leave to the trainer's room.


Backstage Segment – Wilford Warfstache interviews The Naughty Dogs, who prepare to become underdogs

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and of course all other configurations of being—MY NAME…is Wilford Warfstache…with a certified 'stache as a bona fide stud! AND YA CAN'T. TEACH. THAT!" Wilford wags his finger wildly to each word while swaying his hips à la Carmella…that earned him a thrown metal pipe at his head…and he appears unfazed. "…Owie. Anyway, as I take part of this final backstage interview segment tonight, I have two lovely guests beside me right now! You know them as the iconic PlayStation characters of their respective franchise from childhood to adulthood. Please welcome my guests…MEL GIBSON and SPYRO THE DRAGON!"

"It's Nathan Drake and Crash Bandicoot, you moron!" shouts a producer off-screen as the camera then slowly pans to reveal said pair known as The Naughty Dogs, who receive cheers from the audience while Crash waves to the camera.

"Warfstache don't take no SH*T from nobody!" Wilford calls with sass before turning to the two. "Welcome, boys."

"Glad we could do this," Nate nods.

"The author couldn't find another way to think up of good segments to boost our ratings," Wilford blurts out randomly, confusing the treasure hunter and mutated bandicoot. "Sooo, in just a few moments, you guys are to main event tonight's episode of Ignition in this second match of the tourney to decide new challengers for Alpha & Omega's tag belts. Your opponents…are the Gods of Darkness, who we all know are SCAWY AS F*CK!" Wilford wildly swings his head around to each word, staring at the camera before turning to his interviewees. "…Any response to your slim chances of winning against those freaks from the depths of Hell?"

"Here's what I got to say about that, Wilford," Nathan starts. "See…I've been through a lot in my life, in-ring and outside the ring with my out-of-this-world adventures. Over time, I'm basically fearless of what's thrown at me. You have Navarro and Roman searching for the stature of El Dorado involving zombies, Lazarevic searching for Marco Polo's lost fleet and the Cintamani Stone with it, Marlowe wanting this ring of Sir Francis Drake to find the Atlantis of the Sands, et cetera, et cetera. Now compare them to our opponents for tonight, Bakura and Marik, who fit the bill of every Yaoi paired fanfic ever written…but they're still scary bastards to use psychological tactics to screw with their enemies. All the times my life was put on the line when it comes to those guys…it's worth it in the end because of treasure, whether literally or figuratively, being rewarded. This is tournament Crash and I are in, teamed up as The Naughty Dogs, gives us a chance to earn one shot at the tag title gold. We got the Gods of Darkness to get through if we want to advance. Those rookies aren't going to make it easy for us vets…but that's not going to stop us. You can bet your ass Crash and I will take this tourney by storm because as Naughty Dogs, we got each other's backs; we…are a team most people doubt will even get past the quarterfinals and we're gonna prove those guys wrong by the end of it all. My bad luck still lingers, but you can be damn sure it'll die with the help of my friend here. Why so? Look what's ahead of us. Our adventure: this tournament. The treasure: the ACW World Tag Team Championships. So yeah…you know we're gonna put it all on the line."

Wilford nods, turning to Crash, "Anything to add, Mr. Bandicoot?"

Crash opens his mouth to speak…but takes a moment to think, rubbing his chin…then snaps fingers and runs off. After a brief disappearance, Crash returns to with a clipboard in hand and motions for a pen, which Wilford has and hands it to him. The Orange Bandicoot writes the clipboard, tongue hanging out to focus what he wants to say…and when he finished, he flips the clipboard that reads, ME WANT TO WIN! "ME WANT TO BE TAG CHAMP! ME AND DRAKE SHALL BE UNDERDOGS!"

The audience cheer loudly as Crash then spins away in a twister, shouting "WHOA!" from crashing (pun intended) into various objects off-screen. The Uncharted Hero blinks twice before raising a left eyebrow…and chuckling. "That's Crash for ya," Nate sums up before leaving.


Main Event: World Tag Team Championship #1 Contender's Tournament, Quarterfinals – The Naughty Dogs (Nathan Drake and Crash Bandicoot) vs. The Gods of Darkness (Yami Bakura and Marik Ishtar)

Prior to the bell ringing, Crash Bandicoot went his way to charge right at The Gods of Darkness with a baseball slide under Marik's legs…and rebounds off the turnbuckle with a Crash and Burn! Referee Marshall Eriksen orders the bell to ring and the match becomes officially underway.

"Right out of the gate, Crash wastes no time to take the Gods of Darkness down!" Zack calls.

"And thus embarks the doom Drake and Crash will endure 'cause of the latter's stupidity. Way to be a team player!" Barney gives a thumbs up, sarcasm oozing in his voice.

Crash mounts Bakura with a fury of fists until Marik pulls him away and he gets a nice run-in from Nathan Drake's Clothesline. Then, Crash gestures a double-team maneuver to Nate as he runs into him and Nate performs a Hip Toss to Crash on top of Bakura followed by a Leg Drop from the treasure hunter himself. This wild kickoff to the contest continued with Nathan suicide diving through the ropes into Marik. Meanwhile, Crash takes Yami Bakura to the center of the ring for a Wumpa Twist, but that gets delayed and Bakura shoves him off. Crash hits the ropes, hops over a bent over Bakura, bounces off the ropes again, ducks a back elbow, and springboards—into a Discus Clothesline, abruptly stopping all momentum Crash had going!

"Crash's wild antics comes to a rude end from that Discus Clothesline, Bakura showing brutality and that he did not lose his composure in the early going," Markiplier says.

{Fast-forward}

An aggressive Bakura chops Crash's chest in the corner, then takes his arm for an Irish whip into the opposite corner where he follows him to nail a Stinger Splash. Afterwards, Crash wobbles into a Sidewalk Slam and Bakura covers…but receives a quick kick-out. Directly, Bakura mounts Crash with a series of hellacious forearms to the skull, showing no signs of letting up before being forced off by Eriksen when he didn't listen to the count. Marshall rebukes the glaring Spirit of Darkness for his actions, but he gives attention no longer as he returns his focus on Crash with a relentless amount of punches.

"No mercy being shown as Crash is getting decimated at the hands of the unforgiving, vile Bakura," Kenji states.

"After letting some freak of nature fly around all over you at the start of this match, you can't blame him for what he's doing," Barney says.

Once through with his grounding and pounding, Bakura stares down a hole through Crash and says off-mic through his gritted teeth, "This penance you're going through is only just the beginning." Right now, Bakura takes Crash on his shoulders as Marik tags himself in and climbs to the top turnbuckle; Bakura goes for a Rolling Fireman's Carry Slam…but then Crash drops behind him…

…hops on the top rope…

…and performs a Super Hurricanrana on Marik Ishtar who lands right on top of his tag team partner!

"WHOA! Crash Bandicoot, after through the beating, turns the tide all in one moment with that Super Hurricanrana on Marik who bumps into Bakura!" Zack exclaims while the mutant bandicoot poses for the cheering audience.

"Ugh, great. Guess Bakura and Marik still have a lot to do if they want to make their opponents suffer and advance in the tournament," Barney implies.

{Fast-forward}

A tag is made from Crash to Nathan, the latter leaping over the top rope to pull off a Snapmare on Marik and holds his head while the former hits the ropes and strikes Marik with low-angle dropkick. Nate drops on Marik for the leg hook, but he only gets the count of two. The treasure hunter picks Marik up on his feet and receives a knee to the gut, then Marik traps his head for a Lifting DDT…

…Nate spins out of his hold, rams his knee—Marik blocks with a forearm…

…and the Impaler DDT—fails to make contact with Nate keeping his feet planted and flips Ishtar over with a Northern Lights Suplex! Bridge is made: 1…2…Marik gets his shoulder up! He wraps his arms around his opponent's body, lifting himself with Nate and twists and turns into an Enzuigiri…

…that Nate ducks and he catches Marik with a Vertical Suplex…dropped into a Neckbreaker on the knee!

"After that exchange, Nate dominates this match so far for The Naughty Dogs!" Mark calls. "Now for the cover: 1…2…3—no, Marik kicks out yet again!"

{Fast-forward}

Nathan Drake gives Marik a Gourdbuster…and when Marik stands bent over, Nathan hits the ropes to plant his face with a One-handed Bulldog! He tags in Crash, who hops on the top turnbuckle and dives for a Crossbody…and Marik counters with a Double Knee Gutbuster! Crash rolls to his feet holding his gut in pain before getting taken for a ride from Marik's Falcon's Arrow directly landing on the top rope. As he's hung up, Marik tags out to Bakura, climbs the top turnbuckle…and delivers a Diving Double Foot Stomp to the back of Crash's head! Proceeded after that is another Diving Double Foot Stomp to the gut from Bakura!

"Ohhhhh… Whatever is surprisingly left of Crash's brain cells is gone now after that; can't say the same for his stomach, but his pain is good enough," Barney smirks.

"Double Foot Stomps to the skull and gut of Crash Bandicoot!" Kenji calls. "It was almost like a diving curb stomp from Ishtar. Bakura's Double Foot Stomp only added more pain to Crash and momentum to their side…"

{Fast-forward}

Bakura twists the left arm thrice, each twist slower and more painful than the last, giving his opponent a sneer, even smacking the back of his head with his free hand…

…before flipping him over on his back by the arm and then landing a Double Knee Drop to the gut and ribs!

"And there is that attack to the abdomen again," Zack observes as Bakura's pin attempt fails, but he quickly puts Crash in a gutwrench submission hold. "The Gods of Darkness have been targeting Crash's front body ever since Marik's Double Knee Gutbuster countered Crash's Diving Crossbody earlier on."

"Bakura and Marik are playing smart here, young Zachery; seeing how Crash reacted, the two sense it immediately and decide their focus on the ribs and abdomen. They're like sharks—they smell the blood, they sense that weak spot and they're gonna single it out before making the kill for good," Barney states.

"That sounds exactly like Marik and Bakura for ya. From what we're witnessing, you can almost see the confidence and arrogance being built in their eyes," Kenji asserts.

The Insane Bandicoot right is doing all he can to hang on and endure the pain, sitting up with Bakura's arms wrenching and jerking all around the lower abdomen. This obviously is preventing him from ever reaching out for a tag to Nate, who is encouraging his fellow Naughty Dog to find a way out like the audience chanting, "Let's go, Crash!" Hearing their support, Crash nods to them as he moderately rises to his feet and nails back elbows to Bakura from behind. He continues so to his vertical base until Bakura finally releases his grasp, then Crash starts hitting measured punches to the temple before hitting a Sitout Jawbreaker and countering his Clothesline with an Aftershock!

"Crash finally gets some momentum building, but he needs to make the tag to Nathan Drake for their team to turn things around. Crash's not sure where he's at right now—no, he does now! He reaches out to his partner, but Bakura has the ankle and Marik cuts him off with a forearm to the nape!" Markiplier notes the action happening, referee Marshall Eriksen scolding Ishtar to leave the ring.

"Oh, too close. Too—AAH! NO!" Barney yelps when Crash kicks Bakura's face in and HE MAKES THE TAG TO NATHAN!

"CRASH FINALLY GETS THE TAG! And here comes Nathan!" Zack calls as Nathan rushes inside to Clothesline an incoming Marik, then a fist to Bakura, but gets pushed back by Marshall who tells him he's NOT the legal man. "Wait, what?! He made the tag, Marshall! He made the tag!"

"But Marshall didn't see it, so it's not legal, Zack! This is what the Naughty Dogs get for letting themselves get too impatient!" Barney states.

While fans are booing heavily and Drake is explaining his tag-in to Eriksen, Crash is utterly confused of the situation before Bakura snatches him in a Snap German Suplex! He brings him to his team's corner and after repeatedly ramming Crash with shoulder thrusts to the gut in the corner, Bakura makes a tag, which Marshall does see, to Marik. Marik sits on the top turnbuckle with his knees up, Bakura sets Crash in a standing headscissors, flips him on his shoulders…and tosses him into Marik's knees via Powerbomb!

{Fast-forward}

Feeling the end is near for this match, Marik Ishtar holds Crash's head in the standing headscissors…

"Psychological Destroyer incoming…" Markiplier augurs.

…and pushes off the mat with his legs to flip over—flat on his back from a back body drop by Crash Bandicoot!

"…and denied! Crash, with an unforeseen burst, escape his faith from getting his brains scrambled!"

"It's not he had any in the first place, you idiot! This is bad! This is very bad!" Barney shouts, alarmed.

The Orange Twister quickly crawls over to Nate reaching his hand out as far as he can as he makes the leap…and Bakura clobbers him with an elbow to the back of the head! The senior official takes Bakura back to his corner for a brief vilify, and meanwhile, Marik pulls Crash by his leg…

…and gets an Enzuigiri for his troubles! Crash leaps and FINALLY makes the tag Nathan Drake as the treasure hunter runs down—nobody because Marshall again did not see the tag made, much to the annoyance and frustration of Nate and the fans!

"Aw, not again!" Zack whines. "That's the second time Marshall missed the tag-in!"

"Marshall is smarter than you think to let pair of fodders do what they want behind his back! Besides, The Gods of Darkness know exactly what they're doing in manipulating everything to their own benefit," Barney proclaims. "Fact of life…true story."

"And now the double team!" Kenji calls.

As mentioned, Marik and Bakura grab Crash for an Irish whip, he bounces off, Marik pops him up and over to Bakura, who—gets sent right out of the ring from an antithetical Dropkick by the Insane Bandicoot!

"Marik taking Crash up high for Bakura—wow, what a counter! Beautiful leapfrog into the Dropkick!" Mark shouts.

"And it's obvious Marik doesn't even realize Bakura's taken out while Crash is ready to surprise him!" Kenji says.

"Marik, whatever you do, don't let that freak of nature behind you pass by!" Barney urges.

The former possessor of the Millennium Rod goads Nathan over the control they currently have and Nate only smirks in response, pointing behind him as a gesture to turn around…

…and when he did, Crash flies in with a Stinger Splash into Marik while also tagging in Drake and Marshall finally sees it as officially!

"AND THE TAG IS MADE! ABOUT TIME! HERE COMES NATHAN DRAKE!" Zack exclaims.

Nathan Drake, all fired up, rushes in the ring and begins cleaning house all over the Gods of Darkness with a few clotheslines, an European Uppercut to Marik here, a Running Back Elbow with a corkscrew performed to Bakura there and swinging arm-traps Marik into a Vertical Suplex…and he was not done from there. He hangs onto his head and arm, rolling back up to his feet in fluid motion…

…to perform a second Vertical Suplex! And as Nate maintains his grip, "Eddie!" chants rang loudly in the Intrust Bank Arena and the Uncharted Adventurer stands with Marik…

…to give him a third and final Vertical Suplex, completing the Three Amigos! Nathan showers in the audience's cheers with his Latino Heat esque taunt…before Yami Bakura attacks him with a Double Knee Backbreaker.

{Fast-forward}

Marik runs at Nate for a Headscissors Takeover that the latter converses it into a Tilt-a-whirl—no, Marik escapes that and Discus Elbow Smashes his face in…proceeded by a Lifting Inverted DDT. This gives him the opening he needed to tag out to Bakura, who slowly crouches in the corner and strides a stirring, unaware fortune seeker with his facial expression doused with crazy eyes à la Edge, coercing and daring him to stand up.

"Bakura at the corner, waiting to strike down the Uncharted Hero the moment he stands up," Mark perceives.

"One Swift Spirits is all that's going to take to bring an end to this contest," Barney affirms.

Nathan, back on his feet, holds his head as he still feels the effects of the DDT…before turning around…as Bakura sprints straight towards him…

…and the professional thief counters with Drake's Fortune! He goes for the pin, hooking the outside leg: 1…

2…

…2.85 Bakura pops the shoulder up! Nate picks his opponent up, secures hold of him in an Inverted Front Facelock…clutches on the tights…

…and The Adventurer's Welcome—is unsuccessful with Bakura landing behind Nathan and suddenly drilling him with Exiled to Hell! He makes the cover…and he gets Crash Bandicoot hitting a Diving Splash on top of him to break up the pinfall attempt! Chaos ensues the ring just as Marik runs in to attack Crash with a Running Corkscrew Neckbreaker and then Clotheslines him out of the ring. Ignoring Marshall's orders to leave the ring, Marik pursues Nathan to his feet, kicks him in the gut and holds him in a Double Underhook…

…but Nathan back body drops Marik over the top rope; although, Marik lands fine on the apron and his punch is blocked with a hot shot that brings him down to the floor. Wanting to make sure he's out of the equation, the 9-time UWE Galaxy Champion runs for the ropes and rebounds from there all across the ring to perform a Suicide Dive into Marik Ishtar!

"Topé Suicida from the Uncharted Hero to the Master of Darkness! Oh, Mama Mia!" Mark does his best Mauro Ranallo impression.

"We're in 2013, Mark—don't be breaking the walls down here!" Barney scolds.

The Uncharted protagonist shakes the cobwebs off his head before sliding inside the ring—and then his face is kicked in from a baseball slide by Bakura, bringing him back out and landing on his shoulder! That nasty landing grounds Nate to nurse his hurt area as Marshall Eriksen in reaction checks on him after telling Bakura to stay in the ring. Meanwhile, Bakura crouches in the center with a sneer plastered on his face…

…and when the crowd popped, Bakura had no initial idea why they were cheering…but he soon found out the hard way…

…as he turned around into getting DROPPED DEAD from Takashi Komuro and Kohta Hirano!

"KOMURO AND HIRANO! OUT OF NOWHERE, H.O.T.D. MAKE BAKURA DROP DEAD YET AGAIN FROM THAT QUICK DRIVE-BY!" Kenji shouts.

"THEY NEVER LEARN—THEY NEVER EVER FREAKING LEARN FROM THEIR ACTIONS HAVING CONSEQUENCES, DO THEY?!" Barney growls.

After Takashi and Kohta swiftly left the ring and through the crowd like they were never around at all, Marshall enters the ring confused to find Bakura flat on his stomach and then Nathan is seen rolling back inside the ring, finding Bakura now slowly standing up. Like Eriksen, he has no clue why Bakura was down in the first place, but he was going to take this opportunity right now…

…and he does so with The Adventurer's Welcome!

"And there's The Adventurer's Welcome! Bakura is definitely out cold after that!" Zack exclaims.

"Now here comes Crash Bandicoot to add his extra finishing blow!" Mark detects with the wild bandicoot standing on the top turnbuckle and shouts "WHOA!" as he performs his Crash Landing! "And it connects! Nate covers!"

Nathan hastily goes to his knees and secures the cover while for Marshall Eriksen to count along with Crash: 1…

"ANATA…"

2…

"…DESU…"

…3!

"KANSEIIIIII!" Kenji finishes his catchphrase.

"HABUSKI! The Naughty Dogs advance from the quarterfinals!" Marks says.

("Fake It" by Seether plays)

"Here are your winners: 'The Uncharted Thief' Nathan Drake and 'The Orange Twister' Crash Bandicoot—The Naughty Dogs!" Maria declares as Nathan sits up in surprise to this like Crash, who hops around and celebrates this win like crazy.

{Fast-forward}

It took a moment for Drake to digest this, but once he eventually did, a grin grew widely on his face as his hand is raised by Marshall Eriksen; concurrently, Crash stands on the middle rope to indicate more of their victories to come and becoming the next contenders for the ACW World Tag Team Championships.

"Unbelievable—no, I refuse to acknowledge this BS! Takashi and Kohta are so damn petty over their loss that's their own fault when Bakura and Marik didn't lay a damn finger on either of them! What hypocrites, I say!" Barney seethes.

"You say this when in fact Bakura did lay a hand on Takashi by throwing him into the steel steps. Turnabout's fair play, Stinson," Kenji says.

"What do you mean, 'Turnabout's fair play', you jackass?! This is a travesty—a fluke at BEST! That's all this whole shallow victory is!" Barney shouts. "Ohhh, just wait until The Wolves deliver justice to those thieves by next week…"

As the post-match jubilee continues, the Gods of Darkness are left regrouped nearby the barricade in total disbelief, their emotion…showing more rage than dejection due to two certain high school students. Their interference has added more fuel to the fire than ever before for this feud and it's obvious no one can tell what Bakura and Marik, two of the most sinister characters filled with vengeance in their minds, have in store for Takashi and Kohta in the future.

"This has been part one of the quarterfinal matches for the ACW World Tag Team Championship #1 Contender's Tournament; part two will continue on into RAMPAGE tomorrow night!" Kenji reminds.

"So until next week, this has been Markiplier with Barney Stinson, Kenji Matsuo and Zack Cover—thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for tuning in! We will SEE YOU…in the next episode of Ignition! BUH-BYE! Good night, everybody!" Markiplier concludes.

The final shot for this six installment of Friday Night Ignition features The Gods of Darkness glaring at the crowd where Komuro and Hirano receded and The Naughty Dogs prolonging their victory as the cameras fade out to black…
