The night started off with screaming fans screamed louder as the opening pyro on the stage started off the night and ended with Code of the Road by Danko Jones playing through the speakers.
JR: "Welcome to Systems Overdrive, the third Pay-Per-View of IWA and we are here in the Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana and we have a full house here King."
Lawler: "Tell me about it. I can barely hear myself think with these guys screaming their heads off."
JR: "Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler here representing Xtreme Revelation for another inter-promotional night. Let's go to the BLOCKBUSTER announce team, The Coach, Joey Styles and Michael Cole."
Cole: "Thanks JR. We have quite a match card tonight folks with 5 championships on the line. How great is that?"
Styles: "Yeah. Two World Titles are going to be defended with the same people in the match like Redemption. Will the same results arise or will a new World Champion be crowned?"
Coach: "With those huge matches on the card, nothing is far more dangerous than the Xtreme Heights Match Version 2 for the Xtreme Generation Championship, a new championship for Xtreme Revelation. Six men, three briefcases and one match. "
Styles: "Here now is the first contest of the match with BOCKBUSTER starting things off."
Inside the ring, Justin Roberts is about to introduce the BLOCKBUSTER superstars for the opening match.
Roberts: "This opening contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first. From Calgary, Alberta, Canada, weighing in195 lbs, Teddy Hart!"

Roberts: "And his opponent, from New York City, weighing in 290 lbs, John "Bradshaw" Layfield!"
Longhorn played as JBL made his way to the ring after exiting his limousine that is now parked beside the ramp. JBL's scowl was seen and ignored the cheers of the people of Indianapolis as he strolled down to the ring. The Wrestling God taunted his opponent, knowing he had a 95 lbs advantage on him.
Teddy Hart vs. John Bradshaw Layfield
Teddy and JBL circled the ring and went for a lock up which Teddy turned into a hammer lock and a Russian Legsweep then a pin but got a quick 1 count. Teddy then does an Oklahoma roll up for another 1 count. JBL drove a knee to the midsection of Teddy and did a scoop slam on him. The Longhorn Loudmouth then hit a couple of elbow drops on Teddy and then a leg drop. He picks up Teddy and whips him to the corner and laid him out with a running clothesline on him. He backs up and connected with another clothesline then a few shoulder thrusts to his gut. JBL whips him to the corner across the ring but was countered into an arm drag and Teddy hits another. Teddy then did an arm twist and kicked the worked arm of the millionaire. He then took him down with a neckbreaker and climbed the top rope where he hit a corkscrew elbow drop and went for a pin but got a 1 and a half count.
Before any more hurt can be done on JBL, he rolled out of the ring for a time out but Teddy went to the apron and connected with a crossbody. With the referee counting, Teddy rolled in and out of the ring to stop the count and got hold of JBL. He then attempted to whip him to the steel steps but he countered it into a bearhug and slammed Teddy spine first to the steel ring post. Teddy, who is screaming in pain, was rolled in the ring by JBL for a pin but got a 2 count. JBL then added more pain by kicking his back and a forearm to it. He then picked him up and put him in a backbreaker rack. JBL was applying more pressure by bending Teddy a little and told him to submit but he refused. Teddy then began to land fists to the head of JBL and managed to escape the hold and hits a forearm to the back of the head. He then ran up to the turnbuckle and downed him with a moonsault pin but this got him a 2 count. Teddy went to the apron and landed a springboard tornado DDT on the Media Maven. He kicked JBL on the gut and connected with a double underhook flip Piledriver which set up JBL exactly on the center of the ring. Teddy once again climbed the top rope and went for a diving headbutt but JBL got out of the way.
When Teddy got up, he was knocked down by a shoulder block. JBL picked him up by the arm and clocked him with a short arm clothesline. He then gets another and went for a pin but got a 2 count. JBL whips Teddy to the ropes but he set up too early as he kicked him on the chest and bounced off the ropes which earned him a boot from the Wrestling God. JBL then pounded on Teddy with strong punches until the count of 4. He continued this and this forced the ref to break the assault. The Texas Tycoon then connected with a swinging neckbreaker on Teddy and went for a pin but got a 2 count. Telling everyone it was over, JBL measured Teddy with a kick to the midsection and went for his Powerbomb but Teddy hit a couple of punches and turned it into a hurricanrana. After a reverse DDT, Teddy then bounced off the ropes and successfully did the Hart Attack 2.0. He wasn't through yet as JBL rested by the corner in a seated position and Teddy climbed the top rope for a back flip dropkick but JBL saw this as he evaded it. It was over as JBL delivered the Clothesline From Hell on Teddy and hooked the leg for the 3 count.
Roberts: "The winner of the match, John "Bradshaw" Layfield!"
JBL stood tall beside the unconscious body of Teddy as he raised his arm in victory. The self made millionaire left the ring as the referee took a look if Teddy is okay. Backstage, Xtreme Revelation's reporter Todd Grisham standing by with Randy Orton.
Grisham: "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest, The Legend Killer, Randy Orton. Randy, you are one of the six men who are participating in the Xtreme Heights Match Version 2 and what do you plan in going to this match?"
Randy: "I have been in extremely painful matches in my whole career and this one is just another one. What has happened to me in the past months have been a couple of set backs but this match will bring me back to the IWA Championship contendership, if I get the right briefcase. To the winner of the IWA Title match, I am coming for you."
Orton sending the warning to his opponents as he exited the scene with a sneer towards the camera. Now to the ring, Xtreme Revelation action was about to start as the competitors are about to be introduced.
Lilian: "The following match is scheduled for one fall, introducing first. From the Isle of Samoa, weighing in 350 lbs, he is the Samoan Bulldozer, Umaga!"
The Samoan super heavyweight made his way to the ring with the fans booing him. Umaga being as focused as his path of destruction on Xtreme Revelation when he attacked Cody Rhodes weeks earlier. Last week, he again attacked the young Rhodes after his match for no reason, showing his dominance in the brand.
Lilian: "And his opponent, from Charlotte, North Carolina, weighing in 232 lbs, Cody Rhodes!"
Cody Rhodes made his way to the ring to his theme, focusing on the savage in the ring not even removing his eyes when he entered the ring. Suddenly, Xtreme Revelation GM George Vegas came out to the stage with a statement in mind.
Vegas: "You know, something in this picture doesn't seem right. Oh that's right, obviously Cody would be decimated by Umaga in a flash and that is not a match we want to see. So I am turning this match into an Xtreme Rules match. Seems fair enough right? Ref, ring the bell!"
Vegas left and the fans cheered as the rules were thrown out of the window before the match even started. The referee did as what he was told and the match went underway.
Xtreme Rules Match:
Cody Rhodes vs. Umaga
Rhodes and Umaga circled the ring and the young Superstar hit a quick kick to the leg of Umaga. He went for another but Umaga caught it and threw him to the corner then began to pound on him repeatedly. He eventually stopped as Rhodes sat in the corner in a dazed state and Umaga backed up with a maniacal face. Umaga went for the Samoan Wrecking Ball but Rhodes evaded it just in time and hit a forearm to the back of the head. Rhodes hit another but Umaga just yelled at him in Samoan. Rhodes hit a couple of punches to the face and bounced off the ropes for a crossbody which Umaga nailed him with a spinning heel kick. Umaga just picked up Rhodes and threw him to the ropes and took him down with a clothesline. He then bounced off the ropes and went for a jumping headbutt but missed as Rhodes rolled out of the way. Rhodes tried to get up to his feet as Umaga charged towards him but he held down the ropes causing Umaga to fall to the floor. Rhodes followed to the outside and kicked his opponent in the gut. He then pulled out something from under the ring and it was a trash can with a lid as he connected with a shot to the head with the lid. He threw the trash can and the lid in the ring as he collected a steel chair from ringside and slammed it to Umaga's back. This only put the Samoan Bulldozer in a fit of rage as he quickly got up but met with the steel chair on his face.
Seeing the chair dented, he grabbed two more and threw the other one in the ring and again smashed Umaga on the head. Rhodes just ran for his life when Umaga wasn't affected by the chair shot and Rhodes tried to get in the ring but his opponent got hold of his foot and pulled him out to the floor. Umaga then grabbed hold of Rhodes' legs and did a Giant Swing which caused him to collide with the barricade. Umaga just screamed in Samoan to the fans as he threw Rhodes in the ring and he took the steel steps and put it in the ring. Umaga picked up Rhodes and went for a scoop slam but Rhodes countered by going behind and got a falling neckbreaker on the trash can. Rhodes went for the first pinfall of the match but got a 2 count. Umaga was getting up and Rhodes then bounced off the ropes and connected with a bulldog with Umaga's face meeting with the steel steps. He went for a pin again but got a 2 count again. Rhodes began to untie one of the cover of the turnbuckle's top rope, revealing the metal ring. Umaga finally recovered then charged and Rhodes saw this so he dodged it and resulting with Umaga hitting the metal ring chest first. Rhodes grabbed the chair and smashed Umaga one more time and delivered the Cody-DT on the same chair. He went for the pin but got a 2 count on the Samoan Savage.
Getting frustrated, the Charlotte, N.C. native took the trash can lid and prepared to hit Umaga on the head but he was caught in a reverse STO on the chair. Umaga groggily picked up Rhodes and placed his opponent in a tree-of-woe then bounced off the ropes for a running headbutt and connected with it. He went for another but Rhodes sat up and Umaga's head collided on the mat. The young Rhodes then flew for a crossbody but was caught and the Samoan Bulldozer did a swinging sidewalk slam on the steel steps. Umaga then attempted the Samoan Spike but his opponent ducked under it and Rhodes kicked him in the groin for a low blow. Rhodes then rocked Umaga's head with a knee lift and bounced off the ropes but was hit with a savate kick. The kick caused Rhodes to sit in the corner and Umaga quickly capitalized with the Samoan Wrecking Ball. Finally, Umaga picked up his opponent and delivered the Samoan Spike and got the pinfall.
Lilian: "Here is your winner, Umaga!"
The Samoan Bulldozer pulled out the win over Rhodes with numerous weapons used and some broken. Umaga yelled his victory in Samoan to the people of Indiana and looked over the scrap heap known as Rhodes with a satisfied yet savage look. He exited the ring and continued yelling as the show went to a commercial break.

He whips Punk to the ropes but was nailed with a calf kick to the face. Miz and MVP then clobbered Punk from behind and then did a double suplex on him. After that, their short team effort was out of the window when they traded fists but that wasn't able to continue when Larson came in and speared through both men. Punk then put the first table of the match in the ring and Larson saw this as he dropkicked Punk as he slid in. He put the table in the corner and Orton charged but Larson saw this and dodged it but Orton stopped in time before he would collide with the table. Larson hit a superkick on him and an incoming Matt.
Miz then brought in a ladder in the ring and tried to use it on Larson but he was taken down with a drop toe hold with Miz's chest colliding with the ladder. Larson then set the table on the center of the ring and Orton tried to take an advantage by going for the RKO on him but Larson countered and put him through the table with a running powerslam.
Lilian: "Alwyn Larson is now eligible to grab one of the briefcases."
With that, he set up the ladder and went to grab on of the briefcases while Punk pulled out a table from under the ring and set it up at ringside. MVP then saw Larson climbing the ladder and stopped him by pushing the ladder to the outside towards the direction of the table. With that, Larson was through the table and MVP was eligible.
Lilian: "MVP is now eligible to grab one of the briefcases."

Miz grabbed a steel chair from ringside and smashed MVP on the head. Punk tried to grab hold of him but nailed on the gut then the back with the chair. Miz was taunting his downed opponents as he took two tables beside the barricade and put it tin the ring. Matt entered the ring and hit a hard right to Miz.

MVP suddenly hit Larson with his running boot on the face that knocked him out. He began preparing the announce table as he removed the monitors and other stuff. Matt went to MVP but got a poke to the eye and a low blow. MVP put Orton on the table and climbed it as well then attempted the Playmaker but Orton reversed it into a RKO, surprisingly the table didn't break. Matt then tripped Orton off the table and slammed his head to the steel steps and then rolled him in the ring. In the ring, Miz began setting up the table in the ring and went to suplex Orton on it but he countered with a kick to the gut and a low blow.

Lilian: "Randy Orton is now eligible to grab one of the briefcases."
MVP then laid out Orton with a running boot to the face and delivered the Playmaker on him while Miz was sent to the penalty box and Punk getting out in time. Punk and Matt put another pair of table in the ring as Orton set a ladder to get one of the briefcases. Orton climbed then ladder and tried to reach for a briefcase but was stopped by Matt, fearing the IWA Title contract was in Orton's grasp. Matt would repeatedly connect with punches until Larson powerbombed Orton off the ladder. Matt proceeded to get one of the briefcases but Punk climbed the opposite side and hit a kick to the head. Punk then put Matt through the set up table beside them with a neckbreaker from the top of the ladder.
Lilian: "CM Punk is now eligible to get one of the briefcases."
Punk then climbed the ladder slowly due to fatigue setting in. Miz was released out of the penalty box the same time Matt entered it and entered the ring, laying out Larson with the Reality Check and Orton with the Mizard of Oz. he grabbed the forgotten steel chair and hit Punk on the arm, stunning him. MVP tried to get the chair but ended up being smashed on the head. Miz climbed the ladder and got another shot on CM Punk with the chair. He then put him through a table when he did a wrist lock legdrop bulldog on Punk and landed on the table.
Lilian: "The Miz is now eligible to get one of the briefcases."
With all superstars down and out and Punk in the penalty box, Miz then climbed the ladder but he met Larson at the top and the two tried to grab one briefcase but the other would foil their attempt. Orton got up and saw Larson and Miz fighting for a briefcase then Orton pushed the ladder off balance which got the two hung up on the top rope. MVP rolled in another ladder but this one was higher than the first and MVP hit Orton on the midsection. Miz and Larson managed to get up but got up at the wrong time as MVP took out both of them with the ladder. Matt then surprised MVP with a forearm to the back of the head and hit an inverted suplex on the fallen ladder earlier. Matt climbed the second rope and landed a diving leg drop on the back of the head of a downed MVP. He rolled out of the ring and grabbed hold of another ladder from under the ring and began to set it up. Larson got up and dodged a clothesline from Matt and got in a backbreaker followed by a gutbuster drop. Miz came in and was greeted with a strong clothesline from Larson.
Larson centered the ladder Matt set up and tried to climb it but Orton put it down and went for a clothesline on Larson but he ducked under it and the Californian Crusader connected with the Larson DDT or LDT (Legsweep DDT) for short on the Legend Killer. Punk was finally released out of the penalty box and charged in the ring after getting another ladder. He went after Larson with the ladder but he slid behind him and then got a spinebuster on a ladder. Punk was holding his back and all of the superstars down. One superstar however got up and set up a ladder, it was the Miz. He quickly climbed the ladder and unhooked one briefcase for the first case release of the match.
Lilian: "The first superstar to capture a briefcase is The Miz!"
Miz got down in excitement that he stayed true to his word and he may get an IWA Championship match. He exited the ring and left the other five for the match continued. Matt and Orton got up, climbing the ladder on opposing sides. The two groggily exchanged punches and Orton almost fell down to the mat but managed to stay. Matt tried to claim one of the two remaining but Orton connected with a forearm to the gut. MVP, who just recovered from the inverted suplex on the ladder, grabbed another ladder in the ring and hit Matt on the side of the head with it and Orton on the chest. He put down the ladder in his hands and climbed the already set up ladder. Punk just got up on the apron and then springboarded on the ladder then climbed up to the top. He then unhooked one of the briefcases before MVP can reach him.
Lilian: "The second superstar to capture a briefcase is CM Punk!"
Punk then raised his briefcase in hand and MVP was beside himself that Punk got to the briefcase first and he attacked him. MVP grabbed another steel chair from ringside and whacked Punk from behind. He also reversed a Twist of Fate into the Playmaker from Matt. Orton took his head off with the punt to the head as MVP was trying to rest on his knees. Larson got up and tried a superkick on Orton but he evaded it somehow and connected with an inverted backbreaker. He then measured Larson with the RKO but he countered it by tossing him over the top rope to the floor in mid air. Larson set up another ladder beside the other and climbed it. He was centimeters away from the remaining briefcase as Matt climbed the ladder next to him. Matt stopped him from reaching it just in time with a forearm to the back and a straight right hand to the face. He went for the Twist of Fate on the ladder but Larson got out of it by kicking the ladder away from him thus letting Matt fall to the mat. Larson had both of his hands on the briefcase and MVP knocked off the ladder he was standing on but kept hold of the briefcase. MVP didn't see Larson dangling more than 10 feet from the ring and that may have cost him as Larson finally unhooked the last briefcase and fell down to the mat.
Lilian: "The third and last superstar to claim a briefcase, Alwyn Larson!"
The match has come to an end with Larson rolling out of the ring, checking if his back is okay and raising the black briefcase. MVP stood in the ring, frustrated that he wasn't able to stop Larson from getting the briefcase. Matt on the other hand was lying in the ring, looking on as Larson celebrated on the ramp and the show went to a commercial break.
-COMMERCIAL-
Backstage, two of the three superstars that managed to get the briefcases met as CM Punk having an ice pack next to his neck and The Miz passed him but stop just to brag with his briefcase in hand.
Miz: "Are you feeling okay Punk? Cause I do. GM George Vegas informed me that we will reveal what's inside tomorrow night. I stayed true my word that I will get one of these briefcases and if there's an IWA Title match contract I'm gonna give a freakin' blowout party."
Punk: "Just hope that is an IWA Title match contract in there or all of your bragging will be nothing but failed guarantees."
Miz: "Yeah right. After I win the IWA Championship, I'll thank all the little people that I needed to step on just to get to the highest peak of my career, which means you, are part of them."
The ever so confident and self proclaimed Chick Magnet left the sore Straight Edge Superstar to recover his wounds.
Now to the ring where the ring bell has been rung for the following match.
Lilian: "This following match is scheduled for one fall and it is for the Intercontinental Championship, introducing the challenger. From San Antonio, Texas, weighing in at 225 lbs, the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels!"
Sexy Boy played and the Showstopper was starting a show and he wants to top it off with the Intercontinental Championship. He knelt down at the ramp and activated his pyro to the fans' delight. Michaels continued on to do his usual entrance and enter the ring.
Lilian: "And from Green Bay, Wisconsin, weighing in at 243 lbs, he is the Intercontinental Champion, Mr. Kennedy!"
Kennedy made his way to the ring to his theme Turn Up The Trouble Remix and showed why he is the Intercontinental Champion by raising his title up to the booing Indianapolis crowd. The champion entered the ring and again raised the title in front of Michaels' face just to taunt him.
Intercontinental Championship:
Shawn Michaels vs. Intercontinental Champion Mr. Kennedy
The two rivals circled the ring and then had a lock up with Michaels turning it into a side headlock and a hammer lock. Kennedy then spun it into his own side headlock but was thrown to the ropes by HBK and Kennedy took him down with a shoulder block. The Intercontinental Champion bounced off the ropes and HBK went for a hip toss but Kennedy countered with a clothesline. He then charged towards Michaels but he got a quick arm drag on Kennedy then a headlock takeover. HBK got a 1 count on Kennedy while in the side headlock but Kennedy locked his legs on Michaels' neck. Michaels then turned it into a pinning predicament but got a 2 count as Kennedy powered out of it. Kennedy then went for a backslide pin but only got a 2 count as Michaels escaped it. They again went for another lock up and Kennedy hit a knee to his opponent's head then whipped him to the ropes but HBK got a knee to the gut of Michaels. He then hits a straight right hand on Kennedy then whipped him to the corner and charged but Kennedy side stepped it with Michaels colliding with the turnbuckle chest first. Kennedy then landed a hard running forearm to the back of Michaels' head. He went for a pin but got a quick 1 count
Kennedy then whipped Michaels to the ropes and went for a clothesline but Michaels ducked under it and bounced off the ropes which Kennedy expected as he connected with a reverse elbow. The Green Bay Loudmouth then did a suplex on Michaels and mounted him then pounded. The referee counted up to 4 and was forced to break the assault then warned Kennedy he would be disqualified. Kennedy then put HBK in a chin lock after driving a knee to the surgically repaired back. He was taunting his challenger while the crowd was chanting "HBK! HBK!" just to get him back in the match. Michaels then fought back, trying to break out of the chin lock and eventually did as he hit a chop on the chest of Kennedy. He then gets another as he backed Kennedy to the corner. HBK then whipped Kennedy to the corner across the ring but was reversed with HBK going into the corner with high velocity and was in an unwanted position but he came back with a clothesline to Kennedy. Michaels and Kennedy got up and HBK was whipped to the ropes which he nailed Kennedy with a flying forearm. He kipped up and then did an inverted atomic drop on Kennedy followed by a straight right hand. He then connected with a scoop slam then proceeded to climb the top rope which Kennedy saw and took out HBK's legs.
HBK and Kennedy exchanged fists at the top turnbuckle as the Intercontinental Champion went for a superplex but Michaels took him down to the mat with a headbutt and went for a diving elbow drop. Kennedy got his knees up and Michaels landed on it, hurting his right arm in the process. Kennedy continued to target the back of Michaels by dropping a knee to it and went for a pin but got a 2 count. He then lifted him up and landed a side slam backbreaker to work on his back. Kennedy told HBK to give up as he did another side slam backbreaker. When he wouldn't give up, he threw him down to the mat and taunted him. As his taunting continued, Michaels began to get up and when Kennedy faced him HBK went for Sweet Chin Music. Kennedy managed to duck the move by rolling out of the ring near the announce tables but Michaels did a baseball slide on him. He got up on the apron and waited for Kennedy to get up and when he did he performed an Asai Moonsault but missed and landed on the BLOCKBUSTER announce table and broke.Kennedy rolled in the ring as the counted began for a count-out. Michaels was stirring at the count of 4 and managed to get up on 7 and got in the ring at 9. Kennedy stomped on the back of Michaels and hoisted him up for the Green Bay Plunge but Michaels escaped it and he landed a kick to the midsection followed by a swinging neckbreaker. He then hit a scoop slam on Kennedy and once again climbed the top rope then successfully connected with a diving elbow drop.
Michaels was fired up, and so was the crowd, as he tuned up the band as he measured Kennedy with Sweet Chin Music. This however missed as Kennedy ducked under it and he hit a forward Russian Legsweep on The Showstopper. He dragged Michaels to the near-by corner and pounded on him until the ref's count of 3. Kennedy bounced off the ropes and did a devastating Facewash. He made the pin after dragging Michaels to the center of the ring but he managed to roll a shoulder up at 2. Frustration was showing on Kennedy's face as he waited for Michaels to get up and attempted the Mic Check but HBK countered it with elbows to the back of the head. He did a double leg takedown and went for the Sharpshooter but Kennedy kicked him back. HBK then went for Sweet Chin Music again but instead hitting Kennedy it got the ref on the face. Kennedy capitalized with a low blow on his adversary and went out of the ring to get his Intercontinental Championship. He entered the ring and charged Michaels with the title but he evaded it and leveled Kennedy with Sweet Chin Music. He went for the pin but the ref was knocked out. The referee began to crawl to the pin and counted but Kennedy kicked out at 2. Michaels was in disbelief and got up while Kennedy was resting on the second rope. HBK tried to get Kennedy off where he was but was nailed with the Intercontinental Championship on the head which was unseen by the referee. Kennedy quickly went for the cover and got the 3 count.
Lilian: "Here is your winner and still the Intercontinental Champion, Mr. Kennedy!"
The Indianapolis crowd booed Kennedy on his route to victory as he stood up and raised his championship. In the ring, Michaels was still dazed from the title shot he got right between the eyes but one thing he knew he was screwed out of the Intercontinental Championship by the Green Bay, Wisc native.
Backstage, Todd Grisham was again standing by for another interview segment with Team 3D.
Grisham: "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guests for this time, the IWA World Tag Team Champions Brother Ray and Brother Devon, Team 3D and guys how will you fend off the International Tag Team Champion's strength and agility?"
Ray: "That's easy Todd, we just do what we have to do. We have held more than 20 tag team championships and we have gone too far just to lose."
Devon: "And lord have mercy that we don't bring out those tables cause we are going to break them and bring in the victory for our brand."

Roberts: "The winners of the match, Brother Ray and Brother Devon, Team 3D!"
The IWA World Tag Team Champions had their hands raised as JTG was surprised he got pinned. Team 3D grabbed their championships and told everyone in the arena that the IWA World Tag Team Champions are the superior champions. Even though Shad and JTG were beat, Team 3D shook hands with them to show respect for them. Cryme Tyme raised the winner's hands for their win and left the ring with their titles as the show went to a commercial break.

Vegas: "Congratulations on the victory for Xtreme Revelation, boys. After proving we are the superior brand, I don't really have a reward for you. But I have something for the two of you, tomorrow night Team 3D are going to defend their IWA World Tag Team Championships against Hardcore Holly and Goldberg. Good luck on that, you're gonna need it."

Backstage, after the commercial break, we see Josh Matthews standing by for another interview segment.
Matthews: "We are now being joined by Monty Brown, who just earlier was in the Lumberjack match as a lumberjack, and Monty what happened before the commercial break?"
Brown: "It's none of your business! Nobody messes with the Alpha Male even the Undertaker should know that. I can manhandle the so called "Phenom" so bad that his body would be broken like his quest for the IWA World Title. If you can hear me Deadman, this is a warning to you to never cross paths with me because when I see you, I will kill your career."
With that Monty Brown left the set and went to the locker room. As Josh was about to leave the set, the Undertaker was suddenly behind him. Josh raised his microphone to the Undertaker and he grabbed him by the throat and spoke.
Undertaker: "Tell Monty Brown that his business with me has not concluded."
Then the lights went out and when they came back Undertaker was gone and left a message to him by the form of a laid out Matthews. Back to the ring, Justin Roberts once again was about to announce the next match
Roberts: "This next contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the IWA World Heavyweight Championship! Introducing first the challenger, from Greenwich, Connecticut, weighing in at 260 lbs, The Game, Triple H!"
The Game blared through the speakers and he made his entrance. His fans in Indianapolis chanted his name as he came down to the ring. When he entered the ring, he climbed the second rope and told the fans he were facing that he will become the next IWA World Heavyweight Champion.
Roberts: "And his opponent, from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 219 lbs, he is the IWA World Heavyweight Champion, John Morrison!"
Ain't No Make Believe played as the IWA World Heavyweight Champion came out and did his slow motion part of his entrance on the stage. Morrison maybe mentally intimidated by Triple H because he has beaten him 2 days ago in a tag team match but his cockiness stayed the same as he raised his title after entering the ring. He removed his sunglasses, fur coat, and golden necklace and the match began.
IWA World Heavyweight Championship:
Triple H vs. IWA World Heavyweight Champion John Morrison
Triple H and Morrison circled the ring carefully, watching on who would make the first move and Morrison went for a kick but Triple H saw it and caught the kick. Triple H then hit a clothesline and mounted him for a few punches to the face. Morrison rolled out of the ring exactly after Triple H got off of him. Morrison eventually got in the ring after he told the referee to get Triple H to back up. Then the two got in a lock up and he put his opponent in a side headlock. Morrison was thrown to the ropes and Triple H expected him to bounce back but he held on to the ropes instead. Triple H charged but got a boot to the back and a European Uppercut from the champion. Morrison hit another European Uppercut and whipped Triple H to the ropes which Triple H used the momentum to connect with a clothesline. When Morrison got up, he received a scoop slam from The Game. Triple H then bounced off the ropes for a knee drop across the face of the A-List Elitist. He went for a pin but the champion kicked out at 1 and a half. Triple H then slammed Morrison's face on the turnbuckle 10 times as the crowd chanted each number. He then proceeded to throw out Morrison over the top rope and to the floor.
Triple H followed his opponent to the outside but was baited to do so as he suddenly poked his eyes and slammed him to the barricade. Morrison wasn't done yet as he did an Irish whip on Triple H to the steel steps. He reentered the ring and mocked his opponent by doing his own crotch chop to the fans at ringside. Triple H was stirring and managed to get on the apron as Morrison exited the ring to the apron. He then performed a feint vaulting dive into the ring transitioned into a baseball slide dropkick to Triple H and knocked him down to the floor again. Morrison then rolled Triple H in the ring and went for a pin but only got a 2 count. Morrison tried an Irish whip again but Triple H countered it into a DDT. Tripe H then ducked under a clothesline and landed a chop block on Morrison's left leg. They both get up and Triple H knocks Morrison down with a low kick to the legs. He then stomped on the left leg of his adversary and then dropped a knee to it. Triple H then applied an Indian Deathlock on Morrison and he was in a horrendous pain. Morrison would have tapped by now but with his championship on the line, he didn't want to and that would result to Triple H becoming the new champion. The IWA World Heavyweight Champion used all of his strength to reach for the bottom rope and does as Triple H is forced to break the hold. After they both got up, Morrison leveled Triple H with a Capoeira Kick to the head and went for a pin but he rolled a shoulder up at 2.
Morrison then hit a scoop slam near the corner and then did corkscrew Moonsault from the top rope but Triple H put his knees up to prevent it. Triple H bounced off the ropes and went for a clothesline but Morrison ducked and instead hit the ref that sent him to the outside. Triple H then walked into a superkick from the Shaman of Sexy and he went for a pin but thereferee wasn't in the ring and was incapacitated. He then decided to roll out of the ring and get a steel chair. Morrison entered the ring and measured Triple H with the chair and when he got up, he went for a swing but Triple H ducked and landed a falling neckbreaker on him. He then connected with a clothesline after Morrison got up. He then whipped him to the ropes but he reversed it into his own whip but he got a knee strike to the face from The Game. Morrison landed on his feet after an attempted suplex and he threw Triple H to the ropes but he set up to fast as he did a facebuster knee smash. This was followed by a spinning Spinebuster from triple H and he signaled the end of Morrison to the crowd's delight. When Morrison faced him, he did a crotch chop and checked Morrison's Pedigree but before he could capitalize someone from behind with the steel chair Morrison introduced in the match. That guy was Monty Brown, who got a Tombstone from Undertaker earlier and he wasn't finished yet as he connected with the Pounce on Triple H. He put Morrison's unconscious arm on Triple H's chest and tossed the referee in the ring as he slowly counted the cover but Triple H managed to put a shoulder up at 2.
Brown was still at ringside and was angry that Triple H got a shoulder up. He then pulled the referee from where he was and reentered the ring then picked up Triple H but he didn't expect him to fight back as he delivered a Pedigree to him. Morrison came from behind with the steel chair on the back and on the head. Morrison connected with the Moonlight Drive on the same chair and he got rid of the evidence as he hooked the leg for the cover but no referee was there while a new referee came in and made the 3 count.
Roberts: "Here is your winner and still the IWA World Heavyweight, John Morrison!"
Morrison did have the victory but he could barely even stand but Brown lifted him up to his feet and raised his arm in victory. The two, seemingly in cahoots after what just happened, exited the ring and they raised the IWA World Title as Triple H looked on. Backstage, Randy Orton was preparing to leave the arena that is until the IWA Champion Edge came in.
Orton "What do you want?"
Edge: "I don't want anything, Randy. I see you're leaving without a win, or for that matter, a briefcase in hand. Unlike you, I have the IWA Championship, the richest price in the company."
Orton: "Oh yeah? Well let me tell you something. If that was me in the ring with you instead of John Cena, you know I can beat you and take that title away. One day, your so called "Rated R Era" will come crumbling down."
With his bags in hand, Orton left the locker room and the IWA Champion inside, thinking over what sounded like a challenge from the Legend Killer. Meanwhile, Lilian Garcia is inside the ring to announce the last match of the night.
Lilian: "This main even match is schedule for one fall and it is for the IWA Championship! Introducing first the challenger, from West Newbury, Massachusetts, weighing in at 240 lbs, John Cena!"
My Time Is Now played and the challenger made his way to the ring with the cheering of the crowd ringing in his ears. He entered the ring and did the Word Life sign to his fans and waited for the champion to come out.
Lilian: "And his opponent, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 250 lbs, he is the IWA Champion, the Rated R Superstar, Edge!"
Metallingus blared through the speakers and the booing began as Edge came out with the IWA Title around his waist. He activated his pyro on the stage and continued to the ring. Edge ignored all of the jeers from the crowd as he entered the ring and taunted the crowd of Indianapolis on the second rope. After removing unnecessary accessories, he gave the referee his championship and the match began.
IWA Championship:
John Cena vs. IWA Champion Edge
Cena and Edge had a lock up at the center of the ring and Cena put his opponent in a side headlock. Edge then threw Cena to the corner and charged but he collided with the turnbuckle instead as Cena did a roll up but got a 2 count early in the match. The two had another lock up with Edge putting Cena in a side headlock but he was thrown to the ropes which he used the momentum to take down his adversary with a shoulder block. Edge bounced off the ropes and jumped over Cena and he went for a hip toss but Edge countered with a hip toss of his own. The IWA Champion then hit an arm drag on Cena and tried to work on the arm but he turned a hammerlock into his own hammerlock on Edge. He released the hold and slammed Edge's head to the turnbuckle repeatedly. After that Cena whipped Edge to the ropes and connected with a sitout hip toss on him. He immediately went for a cover but got a 1 and a half count and Edge rolled out of the ring. Cena also exited the ring and then hit a punch on the face of the Rated R Superstar and slammed him face first on the barricade. He waited for Edge to face him and charged but he did a flapjack that caused Cena to land on the steel steps gut first. Edge reentered the ring and exited again to break the referee's 10 count and he put Cena in the ring. The champion went for pin but got a 2 count on Cena.
Edge then dropped an elbow on the gut of Cena and stomped on him. He then followed it with a couple of blows with his forearms to the gut of his challenger. He whipped Cena to the corner and landed a running shoulder thrust to further the damage. Edge then hit a couple of knee lifts to the gut of Cena as he tried to push him away and stop him with a back elbow. Cena then lifted a charging Edge onto his shoulders for a FU but Edge got hold of the ropes and forced Cena to throw Edge over the top rope. Edge landed on his feet on the apron the hung Cena up using the top rope. Edge then climbed the top rope and when Cena turned he got himself a missile dropkick from the Master Manipulator. He then went for a pin but got only a 2 count. Edge now began to refocus on the midsection of Cena with a knee lift. He then applied an abdominal stretch on the Chain Gang Soldier. Every time the referee would look at Cena, Edge grabbed the top rope for extra leverage and let go when the referee was suspicious. The referee eventually saw Edge holding the ropes and forced him to break the hold he had on Cena. The ref and Edge were having an argument as Cena was recovering his wounds and Edge turned but was greeted with a punch from Cena.
Cena then followed with more punches to the cranium of the Rated R Superstar then whipped him to the ropes for a backdrop but Edge kicked him on chest. Edge then measured Cena for the Edgecution but he threw him to the corner and connected with a fisherman's suplex. Cena then added more momentum with a flying shoulder block to Edge and got another. The Doctor of Thuganomics then followed it up with a twisting belly to belly side slam on the IWA Champion. He climbed up to the top rope of a near-by corner and waited but Edge had Cena scouted as he stunned him with a hard right to the face then the Ultimate Opportunist did a superplex that damaged both of them. Both men were down as the referee began count. They stirred at the count of 5 and eventually got up on a vertical base at the count of 9. Then the two exchanged rights to the face and Cena got the advantage as he whipped Edge to the ropes and went for a clothesline but he ducked under in and laid out Cena with a spinning heel kick. The IWA Champion then went for a pin but Cena kicked out with just a split second from a 3 count and Edge retaining his title. Edge then went for a Russian Legsweep but Cena countered it with a drop toe hold and an attempt with the STFU which Edge countered by kicking Cena off and then caught him with the Edgecution.
Edge then waited at the corner, telling Cena to get up as the challenger clutched his worked midsection and then turned around. He then charged for the Spear but Cena leapfrogged over him causing Edge to collide with the second turnbuckle. Cena capitalized on it by dragging Edge to the center of the ring and put him in the STFU. Edge had nowhere to go and with the STFU locked in he may have to tap out to his challenger. But he refused to exit the Conseco Fieldhouse without the title as he began to crawl to the ropes. Cena tried to apply more pressure but Edge finally reached the sanctuary known as the bottom rope. The challenger then hoisted Edge up his shoulders and executed the FU on him. Cena immediately went for the cover but Edge was so close to the ropes that he grabbed the bottom rope for a 2 count. Cena then bounced off the ropes but got to know Edge's boot that hit him on his face. Edge then whipped Cena to the ropes and connected with a half nelson bulldog. The Doctor of Thuganomics then tried to get back some momentum with a clothesline but Edge ducked under it and hit a falling inverted DDT. He went for a cover but got a 2 count. Edge then lifted Cena up on the top turnbuckle and went for a back suplex but his opponent fought back with elbows to the face that caused Edge to fall on the mat. Cena then turned around and connected with a diving legdrop bulldog. He followed it up with a spin-out powerbomb and signaled for the Five Knuckle Shuffle. He bounced off the ropes, dusted off his shoulders and then landed the Five Knuckle Shuffle.
Cena then lifted Edge on his shoulders but he slipped behind him and stopped his momentum with the Edge-O-Matic. Edge then went for a vertical suplex but Cena reversed it and rolled through another STFU attempt but his adversary just kicked him away. When Cena got up Edge then carried him on his shoulders and Cena landed face first with an electric chair facebuster. Edge went for a cover but Cena managed to get a shoulder up at 2. He then picked Cena up and then tried to whip him to the corner but Cena reversed it and ended with Edge hitting the corner as Cena bounced off the ropes for a one handed bulldog. Edge got up and received a kick to the midsection which was followed up by the Throwback from Cena. The challenger went for a cover but got a 2 count as Edge kicked out. He then readied Edge for the FU but he racked his eyes and he got out of that situation as he bounced off the ropes and delivered the Spear. He then covered his challenger but Cena suddenly kicked out at 2 with the fans cheering the resistance of Cena to losing. Edge argued with the referee that he should have won by now if it wasn't for the ref's slow counting. When he turned around Cena hoisted him up and slammed him down with the FU. Cena then locked in the STFU and Edge was again at the center of the ring with pressure around his neck. After more than 30 seconds in the hold, Edge had no choice but to tap out or risk a broken neck.
Lilian: "Here is your winner and the new IWA Champion, John Cena!"
The people in support of John Cena inside the arena were on their feet as the new champion got up and raised his newly obtained IWA Championship. Edge on the other hand was dazed with the fatigue he has suffered tonight was awful, wait until he gets the news that the Rated R Era is over. Cena climbed the second rope and showed to his fans the belt he has pursued for more than a month and it was all worth it as he celebrated as the show went off the air.
