We appreciate all the reviews, faves, and follows peeps so thank you! I still have a poll on my profile to see who you would like to see become the FXW Heavyweight champion.
Chapter Five: Vampires, Demon Assassins, and BROKEN
TheFearless Must Endure-Jasta
New Orleans Lakefront Arena
The show begins showing FXW and FIERCE Friday at explodes from the screen as pyro goes off on the stage. Camera pans around to show all the fans with new FXW shirts (We Are FXW FIERCE) and various signs from The Monarchy, New Shield, United Kingdom, and so on. JR, Nigel, and Matt make their way to the announce table as the fans cheer for them. Melissa Santos comes out next to sit in the announcer's area and then Shane's music hit.
Here Comes The Money-Jim Johnston
Shane makes his way to the ring after doing his ring entrance. It was a big night for Shane-O-Mac with the big title match for the main event, but there was also the beginning of the Tag Team Tournament, and the debut of several new signees. But that was just part of the reason he was out there. There were a few issues that needed to be resolved, but it was about him and Dario to which El Jefe was now coming out to meet him.
"What's up New Orleans? Last Friday you guys helped make history. Because of the turnout and ratings we-" began Shane, but like last week Dario interrupted him.
"Listen Shane you are taking up too much of everyone's time. Like I said last week-." Began Dario till Shane yanked the mic from him. Dario was stun from Shane's boldness that his mouth dropped.
"Let me remind you something Mr. Cueto, I am in charge of FIERCE Friday. Not you and if you interrupt me again then make no mistake I will lay you out. And when I do, you will need to call your brother to pick up the remains." Said a now aggravated Shane. That was when the titantron showed static instead of tonight's logo. It reappeared to show a man in a white suit, blood red tie, black leather casual gloves, and a golden Comedy mask with a black hood.
"Good evening to all of you in the FXW Family. I hope you enjoy tonight's matches, but before we get to that let me take care of some business," said the man whose voice was distorted, "If you didn't know by now, I am Mr. Mystery the owner of FXW. First is my news on Wrestlegeddon. As you all know that the Heavyweight title will be up for grabs, but it's not the only title to debut that night. It will also feature the FXW Women's Title and the No Limits Title. The No Limits title will live up to its namesake. There are NO limits. Men AND women may fight for it. I wish to break the boundaries and capitalize on such a title that at Wrestlegeddon will have a No Limits Invitational Battle Royal. Also back to the Heavyweight title, whoever wins the TV Title will get the opportunity to be one of the 10 men in that gauntlet match. That is if they are still champion. Because the TV Title will be defended every week. Another thing is where will Wrestlegeddon take place? Why here in New Orleans, but at the Mercedes Benz Superdome. I'm also going to guarantee that Okada and Styles will have their rematch at Wrestlegeddon. Now to you two in the ring. While I'm impressed with the matches you've both provided, this war amongst yourselves is quite frankly beginning to piss me off! For now on you two are separate entities in this company. No more interference on each other. That also means Matanza will face the consequences at Wrestlegeddon against Union Jack Jr for Number One Contendership for the Heavyweight title. Now both of you get out of the ring. The show starts now!" And then the screen goes black. Both Shane and Dario look at each other and walk away knowing the boss was angry with them.
Princes of the Universe-Queen
The crowd starts to boo heavily as out come the Monarchy, led by one of the men competing in tonight's main event, none other than the Prince, Freddy Escobar.
"In their short time competing in FXW, Monarchy certainly has made many enemies!" Nigel commented.
"No kidding! The New Shield, The United Kingdom-hell, it's safe to say that everyone wants a piece of them!" Matt replied.
"And yet, there's a reason Monarchy is considered to be one of, if not THE, most powerful faction in wrestling. If I now Freddy Escobar, he certainly has an ace up his sleeve to deal with his enemies!" JR says, as the Monarchy get in the ring.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do not adjust your screens!" DJ Kingston begins to speak. "Turn that volume up to eleven, because the greatest wrestler in modern professional wrestling history, the man who has conquered the entire wrestling world, bow down to your Prince, FREDDY ESCOBAR!" DJ says handing the mic to a smug looking Escobar, who grins as the crowd boos all the while.
"Thank you for that introduction DJ, you're far too kind!" Freddy thanks his stablemate. "Although, it's safe to say that I don't need an introduction. If you don't know who I am, then it's clear that you've been living under a rock, because I throughout the past two years, I have been conquering the wrestling world! Everywhere I go, I am the star! No one in this business can touch me!"
"So tonight, the question on everyone's mind is, 'who will become the first-ever FXW Television Champion!" Escobar says. "And if you're honestly asking that question, you must not be very smart! You see, when you take a look at me, someone who has done all there is to do in this business, and then you take a look at my...," Freddy scoffs. "Opponents, you'll see that they don't stand a chance against me!"
"First up is a man who should have been kept in the madhouse along with his band of lowlifes, he is Furno Moxley! Little history lesson for you kids: I have beaten Furno Moxley several times before, and those who do not remember their past are doomed to repeat it. So if the little mutt wants to step up to me, then I will gladly put him down."
"Next up, a man who claims to be an Avenger who fight for what's' right, but in reality, he is a coward! Will Ralston, your arrogance will be your downfall! You claim you are better than me, you claim to have won every title there is, but you are nothing more than the little young boy that I knew in New Japan, and compared to me, you are nobody! SO shut your mouth if you don't want to end up like your false Prince!" Escobar says, mocking Union Jack Jr.
"And last, but definitely the least!" Freddy begins. "The Dread Knight himself, Bjorn Alexander! This man has everyone's shaking in fear, he is a true monster, a Devil amongst Devils! Well, I don't fear him. I don't care about him. If he is the devil, then I am the Prince of the Heavens above that will slay him and reign over the universe!"
"Look, nobody, not Okada, not Omega, not Styles, and definitely not any of my idiotic opponents can hope to stand on my level! So FXW, first I will win the TV Title. Then, I will claim the Heavyweight title! And finally, Monarchy will claim all the gold there is in FXW and everyone will BOW!" Freddy says, spreading his arms as him and his Monarchy are showered with boos. As the Monarchy stood there, a video plays in the titantron, and it shows a boxing ring with two competitors. An announcer introduced the first fighter, now he introduces the other.
"And in the blue corner, wearing the white trunks with the blue trim, fighting out of Glasgow, Scotland, standing 6'1" tall, and weighing at 200lbs, he is the WBC Cruiserweight champion of the World, Corey "The Iron Fist" McCormick! And now ladies and gentlemen, before the fight begins, Will Ralston would like to speak."
Will walks to the center of the ring and talks in front of the camera and the crowd.
"You may be wondering why I'm here, well, I'm not going to lie to you, but the moment I step up for a challenge, I never back down from a fight. My opponents have the eyes of the tiger, hungry to become the inaugural FXW Television champion, they have pride, they have the skills, they have love ones back home, watching everything. The reason I'm talking right now lads, is this." Ralston took a deep breath and continued to speak.
"Bjorn Alexander, the Dread Knight, a monster and a vampire, I'm not afraid of you, I've handled monsters in the ring before, I can do it again, but my friend, Union Jack Jr. was determined to defeat you, until Dario Cueto took it away. I will show you, why monsters don't always win, they are not machines, they're all human, like you. Furno Moxley, the Madman From Hell itself, the adopted brother of Dean Ambrose, leader of the New Shield, I know your history, your past, I'm not a therapist, but I know, deep within, you want to leave your past behind, you have to start from the beginning, you have a good heart, but you also have friends and a fiancée to support you. And I will help you too."
"And then there's one man I fought before, Freddy Escobar, the leader of the Monarchy, the so called Prince, you called me a coward, you mess with the wrong lion lad. The first time I fought you in New Japan, it was my debut match for the IWGP Intercontinental championship, my training was tough, and I had to win by confidence and strategy. The difference between us, is this: you're arrogant, I'm confident, you're a liar, I'm the truth, you fight for money, I fight for respect, you treat your friends like a pack of fools to get the victory, I treat my friends as equals because we're the same, you use dirty tactics to win, I use all of my skills and get stronger to win, but there's one difference between you and me. I have a girlfriend, you don't, why, you take women out on dates and you leave them for granted, I don't treat my lass like that, because it was love at first sight, and you don't believe in it. At the Fatal 4-Way, it'll be just like back in Japan, and I will show you why I fight back, because I care about my family and everyone else." He hands the mic to the announcer as the fans cheer for him as he gets out of the ring and stands next to his cousin's corner. The screen suddenly becomes distorted. The screen now showed Furno Moxley, holding a barbed wire kendo stick, sitting down in the middle of a padded room as if he was in an asylum.
"So...later on tonight, for the FXW Television Championship, it. WILL. BE WAR! Well, boys and girls, at the Fatal Four Way, you can believe that my bloody vengeance will reign supreme!"
Furno stood up and grabbed the camera, pointing it at his face.
"Let's see here...Bjorn Alexander, you're a big guy, alright, but I'm not impressed by you at all. You only got into this match because of El Jefe, and I don't give a damn if he will try to stand in my way. stealing Union Jack's place in this match is an injustice, and like the rest, it will NEITHER BE FORGIVEN NOR FORGOTTEN! Will Ralston, I see where you're getting at here, but the fact is, I've embraced my past! You want to know what the world once called me? A demon bastard child born of lust. Well, I'll make sure that the world pays the price for their prejudice. Hate to break it to you, Ralston, but you can't help everyone, and if you're thinking if I still have that so called good heart, well, let's just say I threw it away a long time ago. You have no idea what justice really is. It's not a virtue, it's the end goal, and I will attain it HOWEVER, WHENEVER, AND WHEREVER I WANT, and if you stand in my way, Ralston, I will not hesitate to annihilate you."
"And then there's you, the Prince of cowards, Freddy Escobar, you think I care how many championships you win? How many wins you have over me? How many of your scumbag cronies I have to deal with? Fact is, I know how you feel underneath. I can sense it in you, the FEAR. I've beaten your ass too, you know, and I'll sure as hell do it again! You made it personal a long time ago by costing me EVERYTHING IN ICW! You kidnapped my love, you have no respect for me, and had it not been for Brutus Vicious, I WOULD HAVE SENT YOU AND YOUR GAME OF THRONES WANNABES AWAY FROM ICW FOR GOOD!"
"Now, I understand what's really happening. Not even the higher ups like Trell and Jack Classic have a damn clue what Justice really is! And at the same time, I wasted my whole career protecting and inspiring ungrateful, selfish, pieces of filth who aren't even going to help those who helped them. Crossroads...Tag Team...put the clues together. Well, you won't just dealing with a lunatic anymore, Escobar, you're also dealing with the Devil, and Brutus Vicious isn't here to save your ass now! Admit it, Escobar, you fear me. You thought Ash Russo, Detrick Cyrus, and Justin Danger were hard enough for you to deal with? You forgot about the monster your antics have made. I am the GREATEST THREAT TO YOU AND YOUR MONARCHY. I am the demon that haunts your dreams every night, the force that watches your every move, the dragon that itches to burn your kingdom to ashes! I AM VENGEANCE INCARNATE! And at the Fatal Four Way, you, and Ralston, and Alexander, will understand the truth...THAT VENGEANCE...CANNOT BE ESCAPED, and the New Shield will reign supreme. BELIEVE THAT!"
The screen was now showing something different after Furno's segment faded to black: a peculiar and strangely cheery woman with slightly tan skin and long brown hair and brown eyes.
"Hello, everyone! The name is Alena Volkova, and I'm the Herald!" she greeted in a Russian accent. "Sorry 'bout the interruption, but I just have a little warning for the FXW roster...damn it, what was I supposed to say again? Oh right!" her face suddenly turned stoic.
"They're coming, folks...a wolf from my home of Russia, itching to ravage the landscape of the world...a dragon from the Land of the Rising Sun, waiting to strike from the shadows with the force of a great typhoon...a southern girl from the Land of the Free, waiting to prove she is phe-something, something...and most importantly, Death himself, and he has a dark legacy to uphold. Soon, ladies and gentlemen, the Grim Reaper will claim your souls..."
The screen faded to black and returned to normal. Before The Monarchy was about to leave, the screen went black once more and appeared to drop blood. After the spectacle was over it showed Bjorn Alexander sitting on a bone like throne. He only smiled in amusement at the Monarchy.
"Bold words spoken quite beautifully tonight. Yet all wasted. Wasted because the words of a false Prince mean nothing to me. You speak of heaven. Heaven won't have any part of you when I'm done with your worthless shell of a body. And like all Monarchies, they all fall down in a roaring blaze." Said Bjorn as he directed that to Escobar and his group.
"Now for the "Avenger". Your pride will be your doom as was that of your friend. As I recall I gave him mercy. What the Monster did was his doing, but if you so wish to delve into my shadows then COME! Know that you will not be coming back to your girlfriend as you will make an excellent trophy." Said Bjorn this time to what Ralston had said.
"And finally we have a Lunatic Renegade. Your views of justice is no more than a farce! You wish to cast judgment on me then know that I will be personally ending your very existence in a way that you would welcome the end with a smile and so will everyone else in your precious Shield which I will break!" Said Bjorn slamming his fist into the armrest of his throne.
"I've been watching you all for some time and I know this: none of you will be able to stop my darkness. None of you have what it takes to survive my onslaught I have planned for all of you tonight. Your screams of agony will be music to my ears, seeing your broken bodies will be a joy, and the blood I will shed from each of you will be a beautiful work of art as I take the FXW Television title and then conquer the FXW Heavyweight title. Now run or face your nightmare! Hahahahaha!" Laughed Bjorn evilly as the screen faded into the dark.
The lights begin to flicker. After around 15 seconds, a man's voice is heard yelling "DEATH TO THE COVEN!".
(AFI - I Hope You Suffer)
When the lights go back to normal, a tall, muscular man with short brown hair and blue eyes appears on the stage. He's wearing a white tank top with a black leather jacket, blue jeans and black boots. He's also holding a 2x4 wrapped in barbed wire. As he begins his walk down to the ring, the crowd begins singing along with his theme. He enters the ring, climbs up to the second rope, yells "DEATH TO THE COVEN!" once more, then jumps down and grabs a mic.
"A lot of you don't know me, and that's fine. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Ben Jones. Right now, I'm looking for someone - 3 people, to be exact, but as far as I know, none of them are here tonight, so I'm going to issue an open challenge to anyone who wants to fight me. If there's anyone in the back who wants me in a match, I am right here!" Ben Jones says, before dropping the mic and turning towards the entrance stage, waiting for his opponent.
Orange Insect-16Volt
The ring lights black out and you hear crazed laughter. Then Jason Malice walks out wearing a top hat with joker cards on it, torn up black leather trench coat and does a pose like Raven. When at the ring he throws his hat down, does a Benoit cut motion and fire bursts from ring posts.
"Wow the first opponent for Ben Jones is going to be the Fallen One Jason Malice. Already the crowd is just loving this matchup." Said Nigel impressed to see Ben Jones and then again for Jason Malice.
"And yes folks Rosemary is again not with Malice because later tonight she has a match with Tammy O'Brien. But I def agree with you Nigel this match is going to be insane." Says Matt as Malice gets ready to fight. The referee checks both men for weapons. The bell rings to start the match as both men lock up, with Ben getting the advantage and getting Jason into a headlock.
"Both men possess incredible movesets. Jason's Laid to Rest finisher is devastating enough, but his submission hold, the Hang Man's Noose, can render someone unconscious within a matter of minutes! However, Jones is not someone to sleep on, either. His kicks knees can do just as much damage as his fists. The moves you really need to watch out for from Ben Jones are the Dead Man's Trigger - a destructive spinning right hand - and the Final Judgment - a downright dangerous Bicycle Knee strike that can just about take someone's head off." Matt Striker says.
Malice struggles for a moment under the headlock, but elbows Jones in the gut and Irish Whips him into the ropes. Jones rebounds for a lariat, but Malice dodges to hit a shoulder tackle. Jones quickly gets back up and dodges a clothesline from Malice to hit him with a nice drop kick. The Fallen One rises to only get hit with a running knee. Jones goes for the pin, but only gets a one count.
"The match has just started and already both men are equal at this time. This match will be a wrestling work of art with these two." Said JR.
"Yes indeed and Malice is looking to rebound from his loss last week. A win tonight could help get him back in the hunt for that FXW Heavyweight title." Said Matt as Jones tried to Suplex Malice, but is blocked. Malice then hits him with a facebuster. As Ben recovers, Jason waits in the corner, setting him up for a Superkick. "Jones' open challenge idea could backfire on him. Jason Malice is setting up for the Sudden Death Superkick, and when he hits that, you just know the Laid to Rest will soon follow." Striker says.
Malice then tries to hit the Sudden Death Superkick only for Jones to hit him with a Sudden Death Superkick, but was dodged as Jones goes for a Running Lariat. It hits the mark and Jones goes for Final Judgment, but like Malice it was countered into Catch Release Suplex. Just as he staggers up, Jones is hit finally with a Sudden Death. Malice goes to set him up for Laid To Rest, but somehow Jones rolls him up for a 2 count. After a moment they both start a slugfest with each other to which Jones hits several Headbutts and Irish Whips Malice into the ropes to once again be hit with a Running Lariat.
"This could be it! Jones is going to try for the Final Judgment again!" Striker exclaims, as Ben runs and hits the Final Judgment, knocking Jason to the floor. Ben covers him. Malice kicks out at the count of 2, but barely. Jones was in shock of this and picked up Malice to deliver a Dead Man's Trigger to knock out the Fallen One. The ref Marty Elias made for the pin.
1!

3!
"Jones wins in his debut in FXW! What a match!" Yelled Matt in excitement.
"A well earned victory for him and an incredible effort from Malice." Said JR as the fans cheered on both men for a great match.
"And looks like things aren't done with them. Jones wants to say something to the Fallen One." Said Nigel as Jones went up to Malice.
"Jason that was a brilliant match that we just had. The thing is... There's something you need to know. You probably don't want to hear this, but your friends, Decay... They're not to be trusted - believe me when I say that they're planning something. Look, all I'm trying to say is if you see anything weird from them, like, weirder than normal, you find me and tell me." Ben says, not noticing someone slide into the ring behind him.
"Wait Jones look out!" Yelled Matt as Bjorn came from behind and hit Jones with On Demons Wings. Malice was too late to do anything as the Dread Knight slithered away with an evil smile on his face.
"It seems Jones has caught the attention of the Dread Knight and I don't know what was said, but Malice seems confused about something." Said Nigel.
"Well whatever it is, Malice won't be far as he looks to be joining us on commentary because up next his girlfriend Rosemary is up next against Tammy O'Brien." Said JR as Jones finally left the ring and Malice sat by the commentators table.
Let's Just Live - Jeff and Casey Lee Williams
Tammy walks out with her usual entrance while the fans cheer out of joy.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first, from Glasgow, Scotland, weighing at 165lbs, The Scottish Xena, Tammy O'Brien!"
"After a hell of a show she made last week, Rosemary caught her attention and attacked her in the dark. Let's hope she survives this time." JR said.
"At least her cousin, Will Ralston, is in the main event. He taught her his martial arts background and she has more strength than Rosemary." Matt said as Tammy enters the ring and does Tarzan's famous call for the fans.
"Rosemary can out match her with the darkness, because darkness beats the light. Speaking of this, Jason, what do think about Tammy?" Nigel asked.
"I personally have no problems with her. She's pretty good and on any other day with a different opponent she would win. But tonight she is facing Rosemary to which all will end up in a Red Wedding and decay." Said the Fallen One as the lights darkened for the Demon Assassin.
Left Behind-Dale Oliver
The Demon Assassin makes her way slowly with her demented smile, but not far behind her is both Abyss and Crazzy Steve! This even catches Malice by surprise as the other members of The Decay are here in FXW.
"Her opponent from the Valley of Shadows and weighing in at 150 pounds, the Demon Assassin Rosemary!" Said Melissa as Rosemary entered the ring and both Crazzy Steve and Abyss sat next to Malice.
"And here she is, the one who not only did a surprise attack, but also getting Tammy's attention. And it looks like she brought two of the most deadly men in wrestling." Matt said.
"Looks like Tammy might need a few allies to take them, oh wait, she doesn't." Nigel said.
"Oh come on, leave her alone, let's just hope they don't interfere once Tammy gets her hands on Rosemary." JR said. Rosemary grins at Tammy, but the Scottish Xena is determined to take out the Demon Assassin. The bell rings and both ladies lock up. Rosemary knees Tammy in the stomach and delivers several forearms to hit a double underhook Suplex. She goes for the pin, but gets a kickout immediately. Tammy comes back up with a European Uppercut and then hits a Northern Lights Suplex to float over for a seated arm bar. The Demon Assassin didn't like that as she screamed in pain.
"It's been a while boys, but I didn't know you were here in FXW." Said Malice to Abyss and Steve as the match continued.
"Oh dear brother we were never far. Sweet Rosemary called to us so the four of us can be complete again." Said Crazzy Steve smiling as Rosemary got out of the hold.
"Our coming here was for all of us to be a BEAUTIFUL family again and to make FXW decay like the old days." Said Abyss all excited.
"Well then will Decay be in the tag team tournament then?" Asked Nigel.
"Officially no, but unofficially that is about to become painfully aware to one unfortunate team hehehe." Laughed Steve. Rosemary crawls in pain towards the ropes, signaling the rope break, Tammy lets go and drags her to the middle and hits the Brain Buster. Tammy goes for the pin, but she only gets a 2 count. Rosemary gets up and eye pokes the Scottish Xena.
"Now Rosemary with a dirty offense, this is one battle that might end with a cheap win." Matt said out sarcasm.
The Demon Assassin hits the Indie Princess with a Superkick and goes for the pin, but Tammy kicked out in a 1 count.
"But there's no denying on leaving Tammy empty handed, as she quickly kicks out." JR said.
Rosemary and Tammy start punching each other, until Tammy gains the upper hand. Then out of nowhere Rosemary hits her with an Exploder Suplex and begins to bash her head into the mat to which Robin Hood, Union Jack Jr, and Amazon Alice came to ringside to cheer her on to which Crazzy Steve got up and went to argue with the United Kingdom. Malice came over and under different circumstances he would relish for some more violence, but not with the United Kingdom as he had no issues with them. And from behind the United Kingdom members Abyss attacked by hitting Robin Hood. Jack then hit Malice and Alice went after Steve. While all this was happening Rosemary looked so confused and rolled out to Mist Jack in the eyes, blinding the prince. She then smiles wickedly at Malice to which the Fallen One tried to warn her of what Tammy had planned to do: a suicide dive! All the chaos was enough for her to recover and perfectly aimed at the Demon Assassin. Tammy hits the suicide dive and sets up for the O'Brien Slam, Jason goes to spear the Scottish lass, until Alice threw Steve to the Fallen One, knocking both men out cold, Abyss saw what's going to happen, but Robin got back up and immediately blinded Abyss by taking off his mask, putting it back on, and knock him out with the Crossbow signature move. Tammy hits the O'Brien Slam on ringside and throws her back in the ring.
"My God, what chaos happened out there!" JR said.
"And it looks like the Decay is done for. You don't mess with the United Kingdom." Matt said.
1!
2!
3!
"And O'Brien has taken down the Demon Assassin! A well earned victory. Wait watch out Robin!" Yelled Matt, but it was too late. To send a message to everyone in the lockeroom, Malice hit Laid To Rest on Robin outside the ring. He and the rest of Decay left smiling. While Rosemary lost, it wasn't over and seemed the United Kingdom not only had a problem with Matanza, but of The Decay.
"Just when things seemed to be just between Tammy and Rosemary, we have just seen the reformation of The Decay." Said Nigel as the United Kingdom helped up Robin and had daggers for The Decay.
"Well shifting gears is up next the first round of the Tag Team Tournament between the New Shield and a former WWE tag team to debut." Said JR.
Rebellion-CFO$
The crowd gives off a mixed reception as the Ascension walk down the ramp, going straight to the ring.
"These men have the honor of being the longest reigning NXT Tag Team Champions, but their developmental success did not translate to the main roster of WWE, where they never had any success." Nigel informs us.
"Well, maybe now that Konnor and Viktor are under contract with FXW, their fortunes could change!" Matt suggests, as Konnor and Viktor wait for their opponents.

THE NEW SHIELD!
Voices - Rev Theory
The New Shield's "Savage Soldier" Raptor Reigns, and "Ghost Fox" Ajax walk through the cheering crowd. They hop the barricade and get on the apron.
"These two men are the token tag team of the New Shield. They advanced really far in the WFA Tag Team tournament." Matt says.
"Well, we'll see how they fare against tough guys like the Ascension. Konnor and Viktor are the type of people they should never take lightly." JR informs us.
The bell rings, and Ajax and Viktor start us off, as both men lock up. Viktor gains the advantage, as he quickly transitions into a wristlock, but only for a moment, as Ajax elbows him in the side of the head several times, forcing him to release him. Ajax turns around and nails Viktor with an Enzuigiri, knocking him down. Ajax goes over to the apron and attempts a Springboard High Knee, but misses, as Viktor steps out of the way and responds to Ajax with a European Uppercut! A dazed Ajax ends up falling victim to a Diving Knee Strike from Viktor, who covers! 1...KICKOUT! Viktor picks up Ajax and Irish Whips him to the corner before running at him for a Forearm Strike, but Ajax surprises him with a kick to the gut! He grabs Viktor and delivers an Inverted Russian Legsweep, sending the Ascension member face first onto the second turnbuckle. Ajax tags in Raptor then takes off, knocking Konnor off the apron with a Dropkick as Raptor Reigns tosses Viktor into the middle of the ring, savagely raining down right punches.
Viktor soon finds himself being lifted up only for Raptor to slam him back down with the Bunker Buster (Sitout Crucifix Powerbomb)! Raptor now goes to the corner, and waits for Viktor get back up, and once he does, Raptor rushes forward to nail him with a devastating Spear! Raptor covers. 1...2...KONNOR BREAKS IT UP! A furious Raptor goes after Konnor, who lifts the ropes down, sending him out of the ring! As Raptor gets up, Viktor Suicide Dives onto him and throws him back in the ring. Konnor knocks Ajax off the apron and he and his tag partner set up for the Fall of Man! As they wait for Raptor to get up, Ajax slides into the ring and kicks Konnor in the gut before planting him with the Pedigree! Viktor rushes into the fray to confront Ajax, but Raptor grabs his foot and trips him. The New Shield's powerhouse lifts him up in the Wheelbarrow Hold as Ajax plants Viktor with the Crownkiller! Raptor covers!
1...2...3!
"Here are your winners, the team of Raptor Reigns and Ajax, the New Shield!"
"The Ascension must be having quite the string of bad luck." Matt sighs.
"I had doubts whether they can actually be a match for the New Shield or not. Even so, good effort by Konnor and Viktor." JR says.
Here Comes The Money-Jim Johnston
For the second time tonight, Shane-O-Mac came out to huge applause as the New Shield wondered what brought out the GM of FIERCE Friday.
"Congratulations are in order to the both of for kicking off our tag team tournament. Let's hear it for the New Shield," said Shane as the crowd started chanting New Shield to which the young hounds smiled at that, "Now while you know what prize waits for you at the end of the tunnel, there is something else for you and the rest of the division should know. While every team here whether it be the New Shield, Monarchy, and debuting tomorrow night DOA also known as Diamonds of Anarchy, believe to be the top team on our promotion then I must tell you this: one team disagrees as they claim to be the greatest tag team of ALL space and time. These men are legends, multi time tag champs, and are also the tag team to beat in this tournament." The fans kept on saying What? several times until the lights shut off and then the music came.
Obsolete-Peroxwhy?gen
"Oh my god it's the Broken Hardys!" Squealed Matt as Broken Matt Hardy and his nefarious Brother Nero came out on stage by Shane to which the crowd began yelling DELETE or OBSOLETE.
"FXW has now become Broken folks and it will be difficult for any of the teams to beat this legendary duo." Said Nigel as the New Shield made the line in the sand and wished to fight them right there.
"This tag team tournament just turned red hot and the New Shield are showing they are not intimidated by the Broken Hardys. We shall see tomorrow as the Broken Hardys will face off against former Lu Trios champs the Reptile Tribe, but we have more tag team action next. We got the Brutal Titans, Outcast and One Man Nation, taking on United Kingdom members Union Jack Jr and Robin Hood. We have that and still to come the first champion to be crowned in FXW with Freddy Escobar vs Will Ralston vs Furno Moxley vs Bjorn Alexander in a Fatal 4 Way." Said JR.
"But first, we're gonna take you backstage, where Ben Jones has something to say about what happened earlier tonight, after his match with Jason Malice." Matt says, as the camera feed cuts to the backstage area. Ben Jones is holding his own camera, and he looks angry.
"Bjorn Alexander... You may be a vampire, but you have absolutely no idea who you're dealing with. You see, I used to be just like you - a vampire, emotionless, someone who wanted nothing more than to find his next drink of blood. If you want to attack me from behind... How about, next week, we step into that ring and we fight in a Falls Count Anywhere match. I will be out there, waiting for you... Let's just see if you have the guts to show up." Ben says, smiling as he puts the camera down and walks away.
