RCW Thursday Night Repentance (June, Week 3).
A package airs from Monday Night, showing the key moments from the Ultimate X and main event matches.
The show began with the ever-popular World Heavyweight champion and one-half of the Global Tag Team champions Ryan Walters walking to the ring accompanied by a tremendous ovation from his hometown crowd in Phoenix, Arizona. Walters took the microphone from Jumpy Jim West while handling all the gold over his shoulders. He had won the RCW World title from Randy Orton at Saturday Night Annihilation in the UK and on Monday Night, he paired up with the Legend Killer in an Ultimate X match to end the very short tag team title reign of the Dangerous Alliance. And as the television audience witnessed, Walters demolished Paul Heyman's car with the evil genius locked inside. Walters placed his titles in the corner and spoke to his fans.
'It is so damn good to be home! As you saw on Monday Night, I put Paul Heyman in the hospital by smashing my cop car into his car... but I'm pretty sure I haven't done away with that demon of my past just yet. He'll be back and when he gets here, he's got a target on his head. Onto tonight, homies: I will be defending the World title tonight, on my request, in my hometown. I have quite a few scores to settle and one of them is with Matt Michaels. 2 months ago, you howled your way back into RCW and screwed me out of my match with Goldberg at As Good As It Gets. So, if you're up to the challenge, old friend, load up your rifles and come get some. In my parting words to you guys, I'm gonna' get arrested after tonight on 3 charges of theft: the head of 'the Wolf', the whole damn show and all your hearts!' Walters explained. The fans roared with approval and the commentators put him over like hot cakes.
We return from commercial break and the fans are prepared for the opening contest. Yoshihiro Magma came down to the ring wearing the Openweight title. His opponent was CM Punk, accompanied by Carlito.
Non-title match: Yoshihiro Magma vs. CM Punk.
The crowd was really into the Openweight champion more than ever. The two locked up with Magma overpowering Punk down to the canvas. They locked up again and Punk grabbed a side headlock. Magma sent Punk to the ropes and knocked him down with a shoulder block and then Punk backed off into the corner. We get another lock up and again Punk goes to the side headlock. The start a "Let's go Magma!" chant as Magma tried to fight out with a top wrist lock and does so. Punk kicks Magma in the gut and then hammers at the back of the Inferno Samurai. Punk takes Magma down with an uppercut and then stomped away at him on the canvas. Punk went to send Magma head first to the corner but Magma blocked and did so to Punk. Magma nailed some right hands and then continued with some mounted punches from the second rope, and then bit the forehead of the Straight-Edge Superstar. Magma scored with an eye poke and then a right hand and then a clothesline and then choked at Punk over the middle rope. Magma hit some more straight right hands on Punk, and then raked the back of Punk. Magma raked the chest of Punk and then hammered away at him with more right hands. Magma sent Punk to the ropes and went for another right but Punk bailed to the outside and dragged Magma's leg across the apron and hammered away at the injured knee of Magma. Back in the ring and Punk jumped up and down on the leg of Magma, using the ropes for leverage. Punk stomped away at the fallen Magma and then took him down with a chop block. Punk headed up top and dived off with a Frontflip Heel Strike but Magma ducked and Punk crashed to the canvas. Magma nailed some right hands and then went for a Supernova Yakuza Kick but Punk slid under and then nailed the dropkick. Punk is stalking Magma for the Mother-Punker Double-Arm DDT and scores with it. Punk covers and gets the three, but Magma got his leg on the rope at the last minute. Jumpy announces that the referee noticed the foot was on the ropes and the match will continue. Punk was pissed and yelled at the referee. Punk nails some right hands on Magma, but Magma starts to work himself into a frenzy. Magma nailed some right hands, and then the Supernova Yakuza Kick. Magma scored with the Burning Avalanche Brainbuster for the win.
The winner is Yoshihiro Magma.
After the match, the UK champion Star Dog, Magma's polar opposite in terms of fanfare tonight, rushed out to attack the Openweight champion. Edge & Christian Cage seemed to come out to help their buddy, but they suddenly turned on him! Edge nailed the Edgecutioner before Dog & Cage blasted Magma with a combined Seven-Star Unprettier. The fans were furious. Edge took the microphone.
'If you're wondering why we turned on you, Yoshi, we'll tell you. Our reputation is based on which winners we associate ourselves with. Anyone who considers these fans their friends is a loser. And we won't hang with anyone who can hurt our reputation!' Edge jaw-jacked, tossing the microphone down and shaking hands with the UK champion. In a flash, Super Dragon, Eddie Torch, Paul Burchill, DJ Diddy Dog & John Cena ran out and cleared the ring. Torch & Burchill helped Yoshihiro Magma to his feet, but the Openweight champion was a little reluctant to accept the help. The five young guns tried to explain everything to Magma, but the Inferno Samurai was still too tentative.
The cameras move backstage to RCW interviewer Sean Coulthard (the artist formerly known as WWE's Michael Cole), who was standing by with 'The Wolf' Matt Michaels. Coulthard asked Michaels about Ryan Walters' World title challenge for later in the night.
'I think that Heyman is going to pay me more money for spilling Walters' blood, ripping his head clean off his shoulders and laying the RCW World Heavyweight championship on Heyman's desk. I--!' Michaels was cut off by a returned Batista.
'I'm going to tell you something, Wolfman... I've been entered into the Tournament of Revolution. Rest assured: it won't matter if you are the champion or not. In the Triple Threat Finals, I will once again become the World Heavyweight champion! Bank on it!' Batista promised.
