Chapter Six: Rise of a Champion
New Orleans Lakefront Arena
Gods Law In The Devils Land-Kingdom of Sorrow
The Brutal Titans come out to a chorus of boos as they made their way to the ring. They were hungry to dish out some violence on the United Kingdom. Outcast rolls into the ring as OMN goes over the rope to which they push each other and raise their arms in air.
"The following tag team match is part of the Tag Team Tournament and introducing first is the Brutal Titans!" Said Melissa.
"Alright everyone our second match in the tag team tournament. These guys aren't as well known as some of the other tag teams, but they live up to their names Brutal Titans." Said Nigel as Melissa tries to ignore Outcast's advances on her.
"They are former ROH tag team champs and held them for quite a while, but it's their Brutal Collide that will put anyone out or the Outcast Nation." Said Matt trying to inform those at home.
"They may have the big strength advantage but they are not as cohesive as the United Kingdom." Said JR. An intro song plays and the random words are heard, "Ladies and gentlemen, introducing, the best of the BEST, IN THIS CROWD!"
A Cut Above (Remix) - Avery Watts
Union Jack Jr. and Robin Hood come out with huge cheers from the crowd. Robin Hood is wearing the red version of his attire instead of green.
"And their opponents, from the Red Queen's castle of Wonderland, and a combined weight of 468lbs, representing the United Kingdom, Union Jack Jr. and Robin Hood, the Red Princes!" Melissa said.
"Former CMLL World Tag Team champions and WWE Raw Tag Team champions, these two proud brothers of England started out on PROGRESS wrestling by winning two separate singles titles before winning the major gold and tag team gold in Mexico, and giving the Authority bad reputation in the WWE by winning the championship gold, and Robin Hood was once a SmackDown Live superstar, before he switched to Raw after Survivor Series last year, for the Tag Team division." JR informed.
"Both brothers sided with Shane O'Mac after WWE's downfall, and it's safe to say, they're the best team England has been made for the freedom and justice. Their parents are very proud of them." Matt said.
Both Outcast and Robin start it off and look to lock it up, but Outcast just laughed at him as he tagged in OMN. The big 400 pounder had a smirk on his face as he saw Robin. Before he could get his hands on him, Robin did a running drop kick into the big man's left leg bringing him down. Robin then did a DDT followed by a Standing Moonsault for the pin, but OMN threw him off the big man. OMN grabbed onto the nearby ropes to pull himself up and Robin went for a Discus Lariat only to take a huge Headbutt from OMN. The big man then took a running start and then laid out a Big Splash on Robin. OMN went for the pin, but changed his mind as he dragged the fallen prince to Outcast and tagged him in. Outcast Irish whipped Robin to another corner and went to clothesline him, but Robin dodged the Brooklyn Plague.
Robin hits Outcast with a shining wizard, knocking the Brooklyn Plague to the ground. Outcast gets up dazed, and Robin hits him with a Discus Lariat. He tags in his brother and Jack and, in a feat of strength, picks up the Big man of Brooklyn and hits the Falcon Arrow, Outcast slowly tags in OMN and went for the gut kick, but the masked prince catches the foot and takes him down and locks him up in a Frank Gotch style toe hold as OMN screams in pain.
"Oh it looks like OMN is done for this could be it!" JR said. Just when it seemed like OMN was going to tap, Outcast makes the save and starts beating on Jack to where Robin jumps in and that's when chaos began. Referee Elias was about to throw the match when Shane walked down to the ring and whispered something into his ear. Marty went to Melissa to make the announcement.
"Ladies and gentlemen this match is now a Tornado Tag Team match with no disqualification." Said Melissa as the Brutal Titans attacker the Prince's with new ferocity. Both men grabbed some chairs and laid out a chair symphony of pain.
The Brutal Titans went on top rope, and they went for the diving seated sentons with chairs, but the two princes got out of the way and they gave them a snapmare and chair shots. Robin gave OMN a strong Crossbow which he knocked him out of the ring, out cold. Outcast gets up and sees that he's surrounded.
"Outcast has nowhere to run, he's cornered." Mike said.
"This could be the end of the Brutal Titans." JR said.
Outcast secretly pulls out the brass knucks and went to hit Jack, but the masked patriot catches the fist and Robin hits the Brooklyn Plague with a Superkick. Then the lights go out to only seeing the light from the titantron shows the words Nevermore and a caw of a raven. As the lights turn back on, Jack is hit from behind by Outcast. Both he and OMN lift both brothers up to set up a Brutal Collision (Super Collider double Powerbomb), but just as they were about to capitalize, both brothers did a Hurricanrana for both their opponents to smack into each other. Outcast rolls out the ring as the Prince's hit OMN with Long Live Royalty (Kingdoms Gate followed by a Diving Elbow Drop). Robin goes for the pin while Jack keeps watch for Outcast.

"Here are your winners the Red Princes!" Said Melissa as Outcast and OMN regroup to try to attack from behind only for the brothers to outsmart them again by pulling the ring ropes for them to fall flat on their faces. Then the Nevermore came up again with more caws to which it finally said: I'm coming for you.
"As the Prince's won a hell of a match and advance in the tournament, we are left with the question on who is coming and who are they coming for." Said Nigel.
"It seems familiar, but I will wait for when the time comes." Said Matt.
"Well for an amazing night so far folks it's not over as business is about to pick up. Our main event is up next and we will crown out first champion in FXW tonight!" Said a very excited JR. It was time for the Fatal 4 Way.
POWER-Kanye West
The crowd immediately showers the arena with boos, as Freddy Escobar appears on the entrance stage, ditching his usual light up jacket for a red cape and a golden crown and scepter. He smiles smugly as he poses arms spread out, golden sparks falling behind him, before walking down the ramp. He gets inside the ring, as he spreads his arms and yells out "BOW!" Interestingly, Monarchy is nowhere to be seen.
"I hate to say it, because the man is a jackass with an ego the size of a planet, but he is truly one of the best wrestlers in the world today!" JR admits. "However, in this match where almost everyone in it will be looking to take the Prince out, the chances of him winning are slim."
"Don't count him out just yet, as he is also one of the most cunning competitors to ever step foot in the squared circle. If I know Escobar, he definitely has his bases covered, he definitely has a plan, and he definitely has a strategy in place to win the match." Nigel says. As Escobar entered the ring and waited for his opponents, familiar words are heard since NJPW and ROH. "Bullet Club F-F-F-F-For Life."
The Resistance-Skillet
The fans immediately cheer with power, as Will Ralston comes out with his Bullet Club attire on, once he slid to the ring he climbed to a corner and throws up the "Too Sweet" as the crowd does the same.
"Looks like this guy is sure as hell ready to bring the Prince straight to the Memory Lane of Japan, the Scottish Avenger is looking to confidently win the Television title inside a chaotic fair fight. As I looked at his promo, it was taken back at the night after Xtreme Saturday. He's looking forward to win it with the fans on his side." Mike said.
"As much as I agree with you Mike, Will Ralston is clearly the youngest veteran who is literally reaching legendary status, and he's going to bring the TV title to the United Kingdom, which made him one of the most popular fighters of all time. He knew everyone he encountered, he studied their matches, and he's not letting his career go to waste, because the crowd wants him to stay back in the ring, 'cause they love him." JR said.
"Will Ralston may be a strong and smart young man, but his aggression is the most dangerous weapon in his arsenal for this match." Nigel said. As Will and Escobar glare at each other in the ring, the lights go off.
Retaliation - CFO$
The crowd goes nuts and the lights come back on as Furno Moxley walks out of the stage in his Shield attire, laughing maniacally. Fire explodes from the stage as Furno walks down the ramp, cracking his knuckles. Underneath that skull mask that was covering his mouth and nose, he was smiling like a lunatic.
"I don't think Furno's going to show anyone mercy tonight." JR says. "I mean, you'll never know what mind of sick, sadistic trick he has up his sleeve."
"Freddy has cunning, Will has talent, and Bjorn has power." Nigel points out. "Furno's greatest weapon is that twisted mind of his. He has a million ways to make his opponents bleed, with practically no care of the consequences. That promo of his proves it."
"I wouldn't be surprised if he attacks Ralston as if he saw Escobar." Matt concludes.
Darkside-Gothminister
The lights black out to some occult chanting and then the titantron shows Bjorn rising from the grave and then a red light shines at the ring entrance to show Bjorn with blood dripping from his mouth. He enters the ring and seems to "bless" the audience. The Dread Knight is smiling evilly at all his opponents.
"The Dread Knight has been making lots of enemies lately starting with helping Matanza put Union Jack Jr through a table to attacking Ben Jones earlier." Said Matt as Bjorn took off his ring claws.
"But numbers have never bothered Bjorn. He enjoys this chaos and since this is a Fatal 4 Way match he gets to inflict maximum pain on everyone." Said Nigel.
"And their opponent from Kitee, Finland weighing in at 228 pounds, he is the Dread Knight Bjorn Alexander!" Said Melissa. The head referee Brian Hebner brings out something covered in a black velvet throw. He then reveals it to be the FXW TV title. Design wise was similar to the last TNA TV title, the strap was red and on the plate was FXW with Television Champion under it. The plate was gold with a few red stones all around it. Hebner showed the title to all four men and handed it to Melissa.
As he rang the bell, Bjorn charged at Ralston to start beating him viciously in the corner while Furno and Freddy locked it up for Furno to stomp on the Prince's foot and then did a quick Suplex. Bjorn is pummeling the Scottish Avenger, and Will eventually slumps down to a seated position in the corner. Bjorn does not let up on his assault, and he stomps savagely on the Bullet Club alumni. After 15 stomps, Bjorn backs away, before crushing Ralston in the corner with a cannonball! A dazed Ralston rolls out of the ring.
Meanwhile, the leader of the New Shield is having his way with the Prince, mounting him and showing him with a series of punches. The ref forces Moxley to get off Escobar, and Furno waits for Escobar to get on all fours, before rushing forward and nailing Escobar with a Hellfire Strike! Escobar rolls out of the ring in an attempt to regain his bearings. The Dread Knight and the Lunatic Renegade slowly turn towards each other, and they both grin maniacally once they realize they are the only ones inside the ring.
Furno and Bjorn punch each other, until the Dread Knight gets the upper hand as he brutally beats the Lunatic Renegade with several knees to the gut and a Powerbomb, after beating the living hell out of Moxley, Bjorn taunts the fans, until Ralston hits the Vampire with a Phenomenal Forearm, the Avenger hits him with a Stunner and clotheslined him out of the ring. Escobar returned to the ring and went to clothesline Ralston, until the Lion's Cub dodged it and hits the Prince with a Pelé Kick. Escobar gets up and kicks Ralston in the gut and throws him out of the ring, when he turned around, Furno quickly gave Freddy a Superkick and tears him down with an Alabama Slam. Ralston decided to aggressively assault Bjorn by spearing him through the barricade.
Ralston turns around, playing to the crowd and Too Sweeting them, but then he hears the crowd gasp. He turns around to see Bjorn Alexander getting back up from the barricade, relatively unaffected. The Dread Knight dusts himself off, and he gives Will a malevolent smirk. Ralston is shocked, and he rushes Alexander, but Bjorn catches him by the throat, and he lifts him up and plants him on the concrete floor with a devastating Chokeslam!
"Bjorn Alexander is truly a monster!" Matt says.
"Indeed, the man is implacable." JR agrees. "He is powerful and he is not easy to take down!"
Inside the ring Furno waits for Freddy to get back up before going to another Hellfire Strike, but the Prince sees this coming and he moves out of the way. Furno turns around into a Pele Kick by the Prince, staggering him and leaving him open for Freddy to drop Moxley with a Superkick to the jaw! Moxley falls and Freddy goes for the pin, 1,-Moxley kicks out! Bjorn enters the ring and savagely rams on Freddy with a spear, Furno hits the Dread Knight with a dropkick, stumbling to the ropes, as the Lunatic goes to connect the lariat, and the Vampire caught him by the throat and hits the Chokeslam. Freddy went after Alexander, but he was torn down by the Big Boot.
Completely distracted by taunting his opponents, Will slides back in the ring and muttered "You call that a choke, this is the choke," and locks him tightly in the Sleeper Hold. Bjorn laughs at this and rams Ralston savagely to a corner, but the Avenger didn't let go, it made him angry and rams him again in the other three, but Will couldn't let him go. The hold gets tighter and tighter, it made the King of the Monsters get down to his knees with his face gone red as he gets choked.
"Are you seeing this, Ralston might have a chance, and he's teaching Freddy the real reason why he fights on and on!" Mike screamed.
"Bjorn got the upper hand until he could not escape the Sleeper Hold from young William!" Nigel yelled.
"Ralston's really telling the truth, Bjorn's not a monster, and he's a man!" JR yelled.
As it seemed like Bjorn was going to pass out Freddy hit Ralston from behind and capitalizes with the Prince's Throne(One armed Electric Chair Driver)! The Prince goes for the pin, but Moxley breaks it up and goes for the attack on Escobar and then throws him into the corner shoulder first. Moxley has a sinister grin on his face and turns around to get hit by Bjorn's Nights Out(Shining Wizard). Hebner goes for the pin.

KICKOUT!
Bjorn was enraged at this point and went outside to get a chair, and as he got back in Ralston did a Van Terminator to the Dread Knight. Ralston then noticed Freddy outside and went to hit a Suicide Dive! Ralston leaps through the ropes-only for Freddy to greet him with a knee straight to the face! Ralston takes a rough bump on the floor, nearly unconscious and we see that he is bleeding from his nose!
"Ralston's been busted open. That was quite a knee strike!" JR comments. Freddy nurses his shoulder, and he looks around and grabs a chair, before climbing inside the ring, intending to use it on Moxley. The ref grabs the chair and argues with Freddy-not noticing Monarchy coming out of the crowd!
"Monarchy's here!" Nigel says. "That clever bastard, he's distracting the ref so that his lackeys can beat up his rivals!"
Bjorn gets up, and he is immediately flattened by a Discus Lariat courtesy of Dylan Torres! Meanwhile, King Caesar lifts the fallen Avenger, and he slams him on the concrete with a Lion Bomb!
DJ Kingston and Freddy knock out the referee, Freddy gets the chair to finish Moxley, until he was hit with a baseball bat by Union Jack Jr. as the rest of the United Kingdom came out to crash the Monarchy's party, and Robin Hood hits the War of the Crusades on Dylan as payback. Amazon Alice and Tammy O'Brien gave King Caesar a For Hera double team move (Super Clover Slam followed by a Diving 450 Splash).
"Looks like it's the U.K's turn to change things around." Matt said.
DJ looks surrounded and escapes with fear, until he gets hit by Robin Hood's Crossbow. Robin later gets hit by Bjorn's Night's Out, the ladies rush to fight the Vampire, but the Dread Knight knocks them out with a double Chokeslam to the barricade, Jack later brawls Bjorn, as Ralston gets up to return to the ring, until a black suited assailant pulled the Avenger back out and starts brawling with him, the Bullet Club alumni fights back and pulls the hoodie off, revealing to be his old rival, Rick Jokela.
"Oh My God, its Rick Jokela, and it looks like he wants Ralston!" JR screamed as the future brothers-in-law continued to brawl, until the Monarchy got back up as the New Shield comes out for the party crash.
Ajax, Nyx and Raptor join the fray, and they clash with both the UK and the Monarchy. Alice and Tammy find themselves on the receiving end of Nyx's Requiem, Raptor and King Caesar begin to fight, with both powerhouses fighting on into the crowd! Meanwhile, Ajax dives off the apron-straight into Union Jack Jr, DJ Kingston, Bjorn Alexander and Robin Hood! The lights go out.
"It appears we're having some kind of lighting problem here, and- Wait, that's Ben Jones!" Matt exclaims as the lights come back on, revealing none other than Ben Jones, who wastes no time in attacking Bjorn Alexander with kicks, punches, stomps, and whatever else he can think of. Eventually, Ben steps back, signals for the end, then runs and hits Bjorn with the Final Judgment!
Inside the ring, the referee, Freddy Escobar and Furno Moxley get up! They begin brawling, each of them pummeling the other with forearms! Eventually, a stiff headbutt by Moxley staggers the Prince, and Moxley flattens him with a rebound lariat! Moxley laughs maniacally, and he does a cut-threat motion, before lifting Freddy up for a Purgatory Driver-only for Freddy to wriggle out of the hold, and he lands behind Moxley! The Prince takes advantage as he lifts Moxley up and he drops him with the Prince's Throne! Freddy covers, 1, 2, 3!
"Here is your winner, and the first-ever FXW Television Champion, Freddy Escobar!" Melissa announces. Freddy grabs the belt, and he and Monarchy scramble to the ramp, celebrating and drinking in the negative reception of the crowd!
"Son of a bitch! Escobar has managed to become FXW's first Champion!" Matt says.
"You might not like him, but out of the four men talking a big game earlier tonight ,he was the one who backed up all of his bluster." Nigel points out. "He has defeated the Dread Knight, the Scottish Avenger, and the Lunatic Renegade in order to become the Inaugural FXW Television Champion!"
"And you have to wonder- now that Escobar is the TV Champ, will this be what happens when he challenges for the Heavyweight Belt?" JR ponders. "Any way, tune in next week, as we go over the fallout of this tremendous episode. I'm Jim Ross, with Matt Striker and Nigel McGuiness and we'll see you all next week!"
A/N: We have our first champion in FXW! With all the chaos that was happening it was anyone to become champion, but The Prince Freddy Escobar snatched it out of the others grasp. Even though he is the champion now, he now has a huge target on his back and who knows who will challenge the TV Champion first. Coming up on XTREME Saturday is the huge Xtreme Warfare match for the Hardcore title, plus many debuts, and the Broken Hardys compete! Next time on FXW, Chapter Seven: Delete Or Decay II. This is Jase Raven 13 signing off. Later peeps!
