He will discover that when 'The 911' Ryan Walters faces off with Goldberg and Mark Trevor Orton in a No.1 contender's Triple Threat main event!
'The Fallen Angel' Christopher Daniels vs. Kurtis Raynes w/Kevin 'Mordecai' Thorn.
After his sterling showing against Randy Orton last week, Daniels was riding high. Many thought being matched up against a monster like Raynes would derail his confidence. But Daniels did alright against Raynes while dodging the interference of Kevin Thorn on the outside. Raynes booted Daniels in the head repeatedly, but Daniels fired back with a dropkick and a couple of hard punches. Thorn tried to sweep out Daniels' legs, but the Fallen Angel hopped it and blasted Thorn in the face with a baseball slide. That allowed Raynes to attack Daniels from behind with a Tiger Suplex for a 2-count. Kurtis stomped Chris twice and went for a third, but Daniels reversed it with a Mixed Martial Arts-type leglock. Thorn ran in with a chair, but Daniels let go of his submission hold and kicked the chair into Thorn's head. Raynes tried to capitalise, only to get a gut-shot and the Angel's Wings from the Fallen Angel. Daniels got the 1-2-3 over the bigger man.
The winner is Christopher Daniels.
After the match, Thorn & Raynes put the boots to Daniels. Raynes annihilated Daniels with the Raynefall before Thorn finished the Fallen Angel off with the Crucifix Stunner from the ropes. Suddenly, Max Jacobs ran out and took Raynes & Thorn out with a pair of Fatality Tombstone Piledrivers. As Raynes & Thorn scaled back up the ramp, Jacobs helped Daniels' up and destroyed him as well with the Fatality. Pyro exploded as Max Jacobs stood tall.
In the parking lot, John Cena and the Dog House arrived in a broken-down van.
'That thing has gotta' go, homies.' UK Champion DJ Diddy Dog retorted.
'I hear that, DJ.' Bloodhound responded.
Backstage, we see Danny Jackpot dealing with his lawyers over Paul Heyman's recent lawsuit against him. Ryan Walters walked in on the erratic office. Jackpot's easygoing nature welcomed Ryan with open arms.
'What can I do you for, future champ?' Danny asked.
'I came to see you about the Triple Threat match tonight. I want you to make it a No Holds Barred match so if that cash-strapped runt Heyman wants to make a "special appearance", I'll tear his head right off without any problems.' Walters replied.
'You got it. Now let me deal with my lawyers over his lawsuit.' Jackpot granted.
Mapleleaf Phantom & Wildstaff Nightmare vs. Bloodhound & Redbark.
Phantom & Bark began the bout. Bark took down Phantom with an amateur-type slam and went into chain wrestling with his slightly-larger opponent. While in a tie-up, Redbark was blindsided by Nightmare, which brought in Bloodhound. Fists flew. It broke off when Nightmare planted Hound with the Dreamcatcher. Redbark clotheslined Nightmare out of the ring and superkicked Phantom. Bark went up top for the Dog Splash, but Kurt Angle rushed out and pushed the unsuspecting Redbark off the ropes. Capitalising on Angle's interference, Phantom dragged Bark to his feet and nailed the Canadian Bomb Scare for the 1-2-3.
The winners are Mapleleaf Phantom & Wildstaff Nightmare.
Livid at losing, Bloodhound took out Nightmare with a steel chair and went after Kurt Angle. The two exchanged blows until Hound trapped Angle in a packaged position and drove him down with the Dog Collar Driver. Hound finished by talking trash to the former Olympic Hero.
Slim vs. Jerry Lynn.
The Artist Formerly Known As Shelton Benjamin tried to make a name for himself at the expense of the veteran, but Lynn wasn't having any of it. Throughout the match, 'The New F'N Show' employed a hard-hitting hybrid of Japanese Strong-Style and Brawling styles, keeping the technical Slim grounded. Lynn punched Slim in the jaw repeatedly and kicked twice. Slim kipped up and smashed Lynn with the Dragon Whip. The two got up and began swinging. Slim got the better of Lynn with a reverse enziguri and a running Shooting Star Press for a 2-count. Slim went for the Exchange Exploder, but Lynn elbowed Slim in the head to get out and execute the Cradle Piledriver out of nowhere. Lynn went up top and bagged the win with the New F'N Thunder.
The winner is Jerry Lynn.
After celebrating his victory, he was jumped from behind by Paul Burchill, the British RCW Superstar who had not been seen since his loss in the Taipei Fists of Death Cage match to Star Dog at As Good As It Gets. Burchill battered Lynn with a barbed-wire bat before hitting the C-4. He snatched the microphone from Jim West at ringside as the fans cheered their native superstar.
'I have only one thing to say to you, Jerry Lynn: the Openweight title Triple Threat match is now a Fatal 4-way Elimination match. See you at British Breakout, Old F'N Show!' Burchill announced to a plethora of deafening cheers. And while this was going on, Nelson Cracker & Eric Azzurith were beating on Slim. Azzurith nailed the Aztec Driver Bomb, leaving Slim open for the Concussion On Delivery from Cracker. Danny Jackpot, flanked by a wave of security, came out with a microphone in hand.
'It seems to me that XLX and the Emblem have a little problem to resolve. At British Breakout, it will be the Xtreme Lions' Exchange versus the Emblem in a 5-on-5 Lumberjack match, with the Bingbongs, the Bikebrakers, Jake Taproot, Matt Michaels & Chris Sabin providing the Lumberjack positions! As for your demand to be added to the Openweight championship match, Burchill: it's on. And if Star Dog wins the UK title at British Breakout and you win the Openweight title, we have a double title match planned for you if you do so. And that match will take place at RCW Buzzkill next month!' Jackpot announced to great fanfare. Burchill had got his wish and the Emblem had got their revenge.
War Zone match: DJ Diddy Dog, The Crazy Cats, Mutt Soldier Z, Star Dog & Taz vs. The Dangerous Alliance, 'Acid' Matt Hyson, Yoshihiro Magma, Brock Lesnar & 'The Wolf' Matt Michaels.
DJ began in round one with Big Bubba Ray. Bubba threw his jabs, but hit nothing as the UK champion dodged every blow with his quick speed. When Bubba finally got ahold of DJ for the Full Nelson Bomb, DJ reversed it with his great strength and finished Bubba quickly with the F-U followed by the STFU for a submission elimination. CW Anderson wasted no time and attacked DJ from behind with a high knee smash. CW threw DJ to the ropes and attempted the Dangerous Suplex, but sent DJ flying into the guardrail on the outside instead. DJ couldn't beat the referee's forced count and was eliminated. Red Tiger got in and went head-to-head with Anderson... losing miserably to the Spinebuster. Marc Sylvester sneaked in a Dragon Suplex to quickly eliminate Anderson. Matt Hyson slid in and engaged in a fistfight with the Global Tag Team champion. Hyson tried the Acid Raid, but Sylvester reversed it with a hurricanrana, followed by a leg drop for a 2-count. Hyson lowblowed Sylvester as the Crazy Cat acknowledged the crowd, rolling him up with a handful of tights for the elimination. The fans exploded as Junior Heavyweight champion Mutt Soldier Z got in the ring slowly to face his rival ahead of British Breakout. Just as it seemed Mutt & Hyson would get it on, Hyson flipped off the crowd and walked out. Brock Lesnar got in and pounded Mutt with the strong style he was known for in Japan. Mutt's elimination was quick at the hands of the Final Verdict. Star Dog came in and was also flattened by the Final Verdict. Taz came out of nowhere with the Tazmission for the elimination on Lesnar and charged through Matt Michaels with the Half Nelson Tazplex Buster. Yoshi Magma stared down his rival, ready to fight. The fans popped big time when the Openweight champion and his challenger began their fight which had a little bit of everything, including Magma's extensive mixed martial arts talents. Taz threw the Openweight champion around in the closing moments with a variety of Tazplexes and signalled for the end, but Edge ran out and speared Taz, allowing Magma to win with the Burning Avalanche Brainbuster.
The winner is Yoshihiro Magma.
One can only wonder what Magma thinks of Paul Burchill's challenge for British Breakout.
We see RCW World Champion Randy Orton walking towards the curtain, ready to see who would face him for the World Heavyweight title at Saturday Night's Annihilation.
No.1 Contender's Triple Threat match: 'The 911' Ryan Walters vs. Goldberg vs. Mark Trevor Orton.
Goldberg & Orton immediately went to work on their PPV opponent with some stiff blows. Goldberg stomped Walters several times before allowing the younger Orton some stomp-time. Randy Orton watched on from the outside with disgust. Goldberg & Mark Orton teased going after each other to taunt Randy on the outside. Walters stunned them suddenly with a double lariat and a flip leg drop that caught both heels' heads. The fans roared with approval as Walters pounded Goldberg with anything that wasn't nailed down. Walters went for a falling fisherman suplex on Mark Orton, but Goldberg revived himself and speared down Walters, in turn harming his PPV partner. Goldberg tried to pin Walters, but Randy Orton rushed in and delivered a quick RKO. Walters got on the top rope, cleared Goldberg and drove the wind out of Mark Orton with the Call The Cops Shooting Star Press. We have a new contender.
The winner is Ryan Walters.
The show ended with the British Breakout main eventers facing off in the ring.
