I am Joey Styles, joined tonight by my regular broadcast partners Sam Shadow, Chris X and 'The Quintessential Stud Muffin' himself, Joel Gertner!'
Sam Shadow: 'Thanks, Joe... and welcome everybody. RCW's been away for a cup o' coffee... but that's still way too long! It feels great to be back in action tonight! Origin will be rewritten here tonight at December Reign, as the RCW World Heavyweight champion, 'The 911' Ryan Walters, shall defend the World championship against his Origin opponent and headhunter of Jap-Americana Promotions, Yoshihiro Magma, no doubt backed up by Jack Krosswire & Arata Kagami!'
Chris X: 'Not only that, we have a new superstar tonight! He is a former WWE Tag Team and United States champion, Montel Vontavious Porter, MVP! He has accepted an open challenge laid down by the UK Champion Max Jacobs for the title, here tonight!'
Joel Gertner: 'But, to start off the resurgence of the Revolution, here are the Global Tag Team champions!'
Fight the Power by KoRn featuring Xzibit hit over the P.A., bringing out the cocky and confident Bikebrakers, Kevin Smith & Ralph Summers. Smith posed with double horns and crossed arms in front of Summers, who lifted his big right fist in the air, setting off pyro. Summers was brandishing a new look for December Reign: a blonde crew cut instead of his bald head.
Announcer: 'Ladies & Gentlemen, this next match is set for one fall and it is for the RCW Global Tag Team championship! Introducing first, now both residing in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, at a combined weight of 512lbs, Kevin Smith, Ralph Summers, THE BIKEBRAKERS!'
As the Bikebrakers waited in the ring, the fans exploded for the champions, brought out to The Kill by 30 Seconds To Mars.
Announcer: 'And their opponents, at a combined weight of 436lbs, they are the RCW Global Tag Team champions, CARLITO & CM PUNK!'
Carlito kept tossing his apple in the air while Punk crossed his arms in the straightedge pose. Then they ran down to the ring, tossed the belts in the referee Charlie Packets' direction and began jaw-jacking with their challengers. The ref lifted the belts in the air and then rang the bell.

Punk went for the cover, but Summers kicked out an opportunistically hit a jawbreaker on CM Punk, enabling him to tag in his partner. Smith kept CM Punk at bay in the corner and the two alternated double teams on CM Punk and kept him under their control.

Smith went for a second rope elbow drop and missed, allowing Carlito to be tagged into the match. Carlito hit an inverted suplex on Smith before Summers ran in and tried to break up the party, but got cut off by CM Punk. All hell broke loose and when all subsided, Summers was in the ring getting ready to get hit by a senton/leg drop top rope combo from the champions. Though he ate the leg drop, he managed to get his knees up, knocking the wind out of Carlito. The two went right to work on Carlito's midsection, hitting a nice legdrop combination before Smith clamped on a reverse bear hug. Carlito eventually began to fight back and caught a roll up and a near fall out of it. Smith pounced right back on Carlito though, landing a bunch of clubbing blows on his mid section. Summers tagged in and Summers & Smith hit a double knees gut buster on the younger champion before Summers began his dirty work.

KICK OUT!
Carlito survives again. Smith is infuriated with Carlito's 'never-say-die' mentality. Both Summers and Smith pinned Carlito in the corner, both stomping down as hard as they could onto his chest. Summers then picked Carlito up to his feet, irish-whipped him into the corner for Smith to pick up the pieces with a runaway clothesline sending Carlito head over heels. As Smith left the ring for the apron, Summers grabbed Carlito but Carlito pushed his hands away and began to fight back with several forearm shots to Summers. Summers was quick to put an end to the come back with a knee into the ribs or Carlito. He then whipped him hard into the corner and tagged in Smith who went to work with several shoulder thrusts once again focusing on the rib cage on Carlito. Smith whipped Carlito into the opposite corner and tried another clothesline, however Carlito nipped up into the air and caught Smith with a quick roll up only to have Smith kick out at two. Smith came back with another knee shot to the ribs and then he threw Carlito through the ropes for the loud-mouthed duck to get his cheap shots in. Super Dragon confronted Rhino outside who instantly backed off, but then cheapshotted him once his back was turned. Rhino was about to lock on a Figure Four but Carlito turned him around and knocked him down with a hard right fist. Summers this time jumped Carlito and rolled him back into the ring. Smith stomped down on Carlito, and then dropped a couple of knees into the ribs, attempting to ground Carlito. Smith pulled Carlito to his feet and attempted a German Suplex, but Carlito managed to land on his feet and quickly take to the air, knocked Smith over with a jumping reverse kick. Carlito crawled to his corner but obviously there was no CM Punk, so no tagging out, then Smith got back to his feet and set up for a Spear. Carlito walked out of his corner to find Smith storming at him, but Carlito managed to dive out of the way and the poor referee took the full force of the move. This only worked against Carlito as it now gave Summers and Rhino the opportunity to enter the ring and do a 3-on-1 number on him. Summers hit the Summers Projekt, and just as Rhino was about to attempt a Figure Four again, This Fire Burns by Killswitch Engage hit and the crowd erupted. Everyone turned towards the entrance but CM Punk entered through the crowd and attacked everyone from behind. Carlito rolled out of the ring as CM Punk dumped Summers over the top with a clothesline. CM Punk then knocked Smith down, leaving only Rhino in the ring. CM Punk smashed Rhino with the Motherpunker DDT and set him in the corner. Carlito slid back into the ring with a steel chair and executed a VAN TERMINATOR on the loud-mouthed man-beast! CM Punk then locked on a Figure Four and Rhino began to tap out! Summers re-entered the ring and exchanged right hands with Carlito, then he attempted an irish-whip but Carlito countered sending Summers into the corner. Carlito rolled forward and then shot up onto Summers monkey-flipping him back into the centre of the ring. Carlito placed the steel chair on Summers's chest, climbed to the top rope and hit the Moonsault! Carlito threw out the chair, hit the Backstabber and covered Summers as the referee slowly counted 1.. 2.. 3!
The winners and STILL RCW Global Tag Team champions, Carlito & CM Punk.
Punk seemed pleased with the victory and went over to congratulate his partner, but Punker didn't see Smith coming with a chair. Fortunately, Carlito did, lifting Smith up and then dropping him down again with Punker's aid in the Hawaiian Ice Neckbreaker. The champions then left through the crowd.
The cameras went backstage, where Danny Jackpot was on the phone.
Danny: 'Yo, what's happening, dog? RCW's big return to PPV! Everything's right tonight here in the Sunshine State, baby! I think Ryan Walters is gonna' give Yoshihiro Magma a beating worse than David Caruso's corny one-liners!'
There was a knock at the door.
Danny: 'Listen, brother... I'll call ya' back. Come in!'
Star Dog entered. Starlette Stacy Kiebler had retired from wrestling during the company's three month abscence.
Danny: 'What can I do for you, SD, my man?'
Star Dog: 'Well... boss: seeing as it's the big return of the Revolution to PPV and the Sunshine State, I'd like to propose that you change my match with Rob Van Dan to a submission match, just so I can offset the hardcore nature of RVD himself!'
Danny: 'So let me get this straight... you come to me, openly admitting you want an advantage, because you can't beat RVD by his rules?'
Star Dog: 'No! Nonononononononono...'
Danny: 'Then beat RVD by his rules then. I'm not changing a damn thing! And by the way... it's next.'
Star Dog stormed out of the office looking angry.
RCW Openweight championship match: Champion Rob Van Dam versus Star Dog.
Before the match began, Rob walked up to Star Dog and gave him the thumb taunt as the crowd shouted his name to go along with it. Star Dog didn't look too impressed and began the match with a right hand, knocking Van Dam back. Star Dog sent Rob into the ropes and knocked him down with a running block, followed by a clothesline. Star Dog then attempted to slam Rob's face into the top turnbuckle, but Rob blocked and lifted his leg to kick Star Dog in the face, knocking him back. Rob ran at Star Dog knocking him down with a clothesline, and then another clothesline and finally a standing Roundhouse kick. Rob dragged Star Dog to the corner and performed the Split Legged Moonsault but only managed a two count from it. Rob then pulled Star Dog further across the ring and attempted the Rolling Thunder, but this time Star Dog got his knees up into Rob's back. Star Dog pulled Rob up to his feet and hit a trifecta of German Suplexes, bridging the last for a two-count. Star Dog attempted to load RVD up for the Sevenstar, but Rob ducked under Star Dog's arm and countered it into an arm bar, but then kicked Star Dog in the face, knocking him onto his back. Rob again attempted the Rolling Thunder and this time he was able to connect. Rob went to the top but Star Dog cut him off before he could attempt the Frogsplash. Rob then knocked Star Dog from the top and quickly flew off and landed the Five Star Frog Splash to pick up the victory.
The winner and STILL RCW Openweight champion, Rob Van Dam.
RVD celebrated with the fans afterwards, but Star Dog wasn't done with his assault. He blindsided 'The Whole F'N Show' with a big boot to the mouth, followed by a Sevenstar that saw RVD land directly on his head, on the idle championship belt. EMTs checked upon the fallen champion as Star Dog made his way to the back with a sick smile on his face.
Joey Styles: 'I hope RVD isn't injured too badly. Fuck that piece of dogshit for what he did!'
Sam Shadow: 'Yo, calm down, Styles! I know RVD's your buddy from way back and everything, but you're clearly overreacting!'
Styles: 'What? So you condone this type of behaviour?'
Shadow: 'As a matter of fuckin' fact, I do. It's called making a big-time impact!'
Chris X: 'Anyways, back to business: I have just received word from our staff that the World champion has indeed arrived at the building!'
Joel Gertner: 'And it is my personal opinion that this is his last day as the champion, because no-one has ever defeated Yoshihiro Magma in 1-on-1 competition!'
Styles: 'We'll see! Walters has never backed down and never quit... even when Paul Heyman backed him into a corner, had him arrested for breaking his contract and forced to leave RCW! Walters pulled through during that rivalry and I'm putting my money on him to end the streak of the Burning Avalanche!'
Chris X: 'As for now though, we are prepared for our next contest... as it's AJ Styles challenging Jake Taproot for the RCW Junior Heavyweight championship!'
Shadow: 'And the smart money is always on the Phenomenal One!'
Chris X: 'He wasn't the first TNA X-Division champ for nothing, ya know!'
Gertner: 'That was before Randy Sav-- I mean, Jay Lethal got ahold of the belt!'
RCW Junior Heavyweight championship match: Champion Jake Taproot w/'Acid' Matt Hyson & Chris Sabin versus 'The Phenomenal' AJ Styles.
Matt Hyson tried to get a few licks in for his partner, but Styles caught him and planted the former Spike Dudley with the Styles Clash. Sabin tried his luck, but Styles countered 'The Future's' attack with his Phenomenon DDT. While the referee called for more security to eject Hyson & Sabin, Taproot took his chance and blindsided AJ Styles with his signature Rootcore Dragon Suplex. The referee then officially started the contest. Elbow tie-up, chop by Taproot. Uppercut by Styles but he got kicked in the chest. Snapmare by Taproot and he locked in a chin lock. Styles fought back with elbows, but he got cut off. Styles flipped out of a back suplex and executed a dropkick. Bulldog by Styles connected. Scoop slam by AJ, knee drop got 2. AJ got telegraphed and tossed into the corner. Taproot runs into a boot. AJ knocked an interfering Sabin off the apron and hooked Taproot up for a Sunset Flip Powerbomb, but he pulled back into the Styles Clash position, walking all around the ring with Taproot's head grinding the mat before going to the middle of the squared circle and finishing the match with the infamous Styles Clash.
The winner and NEW RCW Junior Heavyweight champion, AJ Styles.
Taproot was irate while Styles marched up the ramp with his title belt. Sabin soon became the scapegoat for Taproot's loss, being blamed for everything. He shouted something at Hyson & Taproot, which earned him a beatdown. Taproot nailed the Rootcore Dragon Suplex again followed by Hyson nailing the Acid Drop. Seeing the beatdown on his ex-TNA teammate, Styles rushed the ring again and fought off the attackers. Sabin got up and helped, popping off a Cradle Shock on Hyson. Styles left the ring with Sabin, to many cheers from the fans who had missed TNA all these years.
Faction Challenge: The Ortons w/Evolution vs. Kiba & Grizzly w/XLX vs. Rat & Butch Bingbong w/The Bingbong Family vs. Austin Aries & Seth Ozkan w/The Emblem.
After the Bingbongs and the Emblem had been eliminated by Evolution, it was down to two teams. The end came when Mark Orton knocked Grizzly from the ring with a Dropsault, but before he could turn his attention to Kiba, Rat Bingbong grabbed hold of his leg. When he finally released him, Kiba put out his leg for Mark to catch before cracking him with a devastating Lion's Gladiator Execution to the face. Grizz then held Randy as Kiba made the cover for the win.
The winners are Kiba & Grizzly.
After that match, Max Jacobs made his entrance with the UK title belt sitting on his shoulder. He set of his uncle's pyro and waited in the ring for his opponent.
One, Two, you hear the clock tickin'
Tick-tock, you're about to stop livin'
Tick-tock, I want you to remember me
Tick-tock, But I'll leave you with no memory
I'M COMIN'!
Silkk Tha Shocker's I'm Comin' blasted out on the speakers once again as Montel Vontavious Porter made his RCW debut.
RCW United Kingdom Heavyweight championship match: Champion Max Jacobs vs. Montel Vontavious Porter.
The two started going at it right in the middle of the ring. MVP got stupid and tried to body slam the big man and of course, Max Jacobs went nowhere and just clubbed him to the canvas. MVP grabbed a Singapore cane and swatted at Max Jacobs, but Max Jacobs caught it and broke it in half after bonking MVP on the head with it. Max Jacobs body slammed MVP before tossing him like a lawn dart into a shopping cart waiting in the corner. He went for an avalanche, but MVP got out of dodge just in the nick of time. MVP tried to gather a table in the bought time, but Max Jacobs quickly recovered and began hammering away at MVP before tossing him back into the ring. Jacobs hit a diving head butt before taking the table MVP put in the ring and set it up. MVP fought back by nailing Jacobs in the head with a garbage can. Jacobs completely no-sold it, gave a fierce roar to MVP and blew the table to bits, hitting his chokeslam on MVP for the win.
The winner and STILL United Kingdom Heavyweight champion, Max Jacobs.
6-man tag team grudge match: DJ Diddy Dog & the Dudley Boyz vs. The Dog House.
All through the match, DJ stood on the apron and kept his eyes on Bark at all time. The match began as D-Von forced Punk into the corner and launched him with a Monkey Flip. D-Von then jumped to the second rope and hit Punk with a kick to the jaw. Bloodhound then collided with Bubba Ray and managed to get the upper hand. Bloodhound whipped Bubba into the corner and attempted a running clothesline but the move was countered with an Inverted Bubba Bomb as Bubba drove Bloodhound into the canvas. Even though Bark was not the legal man, he was caught in the ring when DJ finally got the hot tag. Bark stared wide-eyed at DJ before jumping out of the ring to attempt an escape. The final moment of the match saw DJ Diddy Dog chase Redbark around the ring until Bark lead DJ back into the ring and straight into a spear from Bloodhound. As Bark watched from the ramp, Bloodhound hooked the leg of DJ and gained the pinfall victory after finishing his younger brother off with the Dog Collar Driver.
The winners are the Dog House.
Immediately, the Dudleyz navigated wood into the ring and went after Redbark, but Bark bailed, leaving Joey Boozehound alone to face two very-pissed off Dudleyz. Bloodhound tried to help, but DJ caught him and drilled him with the DJ Diddy Devastation. Joey then felt the wrath of the 3D through the table.
Rhino w/Cyrus vs. Super Dragon.
Rhino went straight for the side-headlock, but Super Dragon powered out and lifted Rhino up for a backdrop. Super Dragon quickly rolled back to his feet, ran the ropes attempted a Senton across Rhino's chest, but Rhino managed to roll from harms way just in time. Rhino then connected with a low dropkick to Super Dragon's head and knocked him under the bottom rope. As Super Dragon leaned against the guard rails, Rhino attempted a Crossbody, but Super Dragon caught him and drove his back into the ringpost. Back in the ring, Super Dragon sent Rhino into the ropes and caught him in a side walk slam which he turned into a Backbreaker across his knee. Rhino came back after gouging Super Dragon's eye. He then rammed Super Dragon's head into the top turnbuckle, and attempted a running clothesline, but Super Dragon ducked and Rhino caught the referee. Using this to his advantage, Rhino took a steel chair from ringside and cracked Super Dragon between the eyes. Rhino raises his hands to recieve loud boos. Suddenly the crowd began to cheer, and soon Eddie Torch slid under the bottom rope and stood behind Rhino. When Rhino noticed, he swung the chair, but Torch ducked. He then kicked Rhino in the mid-section which caused him to drop the chair. Torch then loaded Rhino up and dropped him with the Burning Hammer. Both men slowly came to, but Super Dragon locked on the Dragon Clutch STF and the referee woke up to see Rhino tapping to give Super Dragon the victory.
The winner is Super Dragon.
It was time for the main event: Ryan Walters defending the RCW World Heavyweight title against his arch-rival Yoshihiro Magma.
RCW World Heavyweight championship match: Champion Ryan Walters vs. Yoshihiro Magma.
Before the match got underway, the referee had Jap-Americana Promotions banned from ringside. The two men circled the ring for a few moments until Walters dived down and attempted to grab Magma's boot, but Magma quickly jumped back. They circled again until locking up with Magma getting the side headlock. Walters easily pushed Magma into the ropes and knocked him down with a shoulder block. Walters then ran the ropes, skipped over Magma who then jumped up and attempted a hip toss which was then countered by Walters with a hip toss and then a stiff kick across the spine. Magma grabbed his lower back, but Walters picked him up from the ground and threw him into the corner where he connected with several slaps across the face. Walters then chopped Magma across the chest and then lifted him onto the top rope. Walters attempted to set up the 911 Cop Killa, but Magma came back with a slap and a Tornado DDT driving Walters's head into the canvas. Magma put the boots to Walters's head before stepping back and stalking Walters, looking for a Spear opportunity. Magma ran at Walters for the Spear, but Walters kicked Magma in the face, knocking him on his back. Walters lifted Magma to the top and folded him up for the 911 Cop Killa, but as he walked Magma out from the corner, Magma's boot caught the referee in the face. Walters didn't seem to notice and dropped the 911 Cop Killa, but there was no referee to make the count. Suddenly Montel Vontavious Porter entered the ring and struck Walters with a Chair. He then dragged Magma on top of Walters to claim the slow three and the title. Fans were absolutely livid.
The winner and NEW RCW World Heavyweight champion, Yoshihiro Magma.
It was unclear as to why MVP had cost Ryan Walters the title, but the fact remained that he had done it and somebody else was wearing the gold for the first time in a few months.
Joey Styles: 'What a deflating way to end the night with Yoshihiro Magma taking home the RCW World title thanks to interference from MVP! Good night, everyone... and see you at RCW New's Year Destruction!'
