Chapter 30: Playing the Numbers Game – BLOCKBUSTER Week 4 July
The crowd was shown a video of last week's International Tag Team Championship match that pitted the champion John Morrison against The Undertaker. The match was almost dominated by Undertaker as Morrison used his cunning quickness to his advantage. All of a sudden, the referee was pulled outside of the ring and into the barricade by a fan while another was distracting Batista for an autograph. Batista was then attacked by the fan and the two were revealed to be The Zeroes. The two attacked Undertaker and was joined by Monty Brown but was later saved by Batista. When Morrison got the upper hand after low blowing Undertaker, Rockwell tried to save him from the four with a steel chair but revealed his true intentions when he nailed The Deadman and Batista. He finished off the assault with the Full Volume Edition on the Demon of Death Valley and Morrison pinned him, screwing him of the title.
Another weekly dose of BLOCKBUSTER was about to be given out as the opening pyro went off on the stage. The fans were cheering for their favorite superstars especially to those lucky people seated in the front row. The cameras shifted to the commentators Michael Cole, Joey Styles and Jonathan Coachman.
Joey: "Greetings loyal BLOCKBUSTER viewers to another exciting night! We are in a jam packed arena with only one week and 2 days until Road to Nowhere. There are more plans for the PPV as GM Smith could add more matches to the card."
Cole: "But first let's focus on tonight Joey. It was announced on out official website that Batista will put the New Frontier Championship on the line against Benedict Rockwell tonight after what the Earphoned Youngster has done last week."
Coach: "More importantly what he did to the Undertaker. If you know the Deadman, he will not take losing the International Championship match with Rockwell's interference. Plus, the United States Champion Jeff Hardy will be in action against Chris Hero."
Joey: "As announced via our website, John "Bradshaw" Layfield will challenge Jeff Hardy for the United States Championship at the PPV. Also, the bad blood between these two tag teams will come to boiling point when Cryme Tyme faces Matt Striker and Big Daddy V."
Coach: "One more match from Xtreme Revelation is Kurt Angle vs. Edge and it will be Medal vs. Hair. If Edge loses, he gets his head shaved and it Angle wins, he will obtain his medal Edge stole. Let's now head to the ring for the first match of the night!"
Roberts: "This opening match is scheduled for one fall introducing first, from Austell, Georgia, weighing in at 205 lbs, Jimmy Wang Yang!"
Gonna Punch Someone Tonight by David Church played as Yang came out to the crowd's delight. He made his way down to the ring while dancing on top of the ramp and slapped hands with the fans before getting in the ring.
Roberts: "And his opponent, from Jacksonville, Florida, weighing in at 230 lbs, Elijah Burke!"
Don't Waste My Time hit and the Host of Hosts stood on the stage eying his competition. Burke would like to continue his roll with another win on Yang and maybe he might land himself a championship match.
Jimmy Wang Yang vs. Elijah Burke
The two superstars started off with a lock up at the center of the ring with Burke using his size to his advantage by doing a waistlock. Yang countered the move by spinning out of it only to get a harsh back elbow to the face. Burke now charged towards him which got Yang to do an arm drag on him. He did this two more times before whipping Burke to the ropes and leapfrogged over him followed by a hip toss. Yang bounced off the ropes with a dropkick to the side of the head of Burke and went for a pin but got a 1 count. Burke rolled out of the ring for a breather but Yang wouldn't have any of it as he did a baseball slide to him, hitting him directly on the chest. He then climbed the top rope and jumped on Burke from inside of the ring with a great height for a crossbody. What he didn't expect was Burke turning it into a gutbuster. Burke rolled him into the ring and stomped on the midsection of Yang after the high gutbuster from outside the ring. He then did a double knee drop to the stomach of Yang, causing him to yell in pain. Burke put his opponent in a bodyscissors move as the referee asked if he was going to give up. He didn't and tried to fight back only to get a hard forearm to the back of the head. Yang now hit Burke on the face with his elbows and managed to get out of the hold until he received a German suplex. Burke didn't let go as he suplexed him one more time before letting go. He then hooked the leg of his opponent only to get a 2 count. The Black Pope once again targeted the midsection as he let loose a few shots in while Yang was down. He picked him up and applied an abdominal stretch on him to weaken the midsection. When the referee was looking at Yang, Burke grabbed the top rope for leverage and when he did this a third time the referee caught him in the act and told him to let go of the hold before the count of 5, which he did at 4. The Elijah Experience now did a vertical suplex followed by a back suplex only to be countered into a Russian legsweep. Yang dodged a clothesline and dropkicked Burke off his feet. He did this once more and connected with a swinging neckbreaker. The Asian redneck hit a standing moonsault on the back of Burke and rolled him on his back for a pin but got a 2 count only. He then went for a kick which was caught and countered with a STO. The Guiding Light now went for a back suplex only to be reversed in mid execution as Yang turned it into a crossbody. BLOCKBUSTER's Resident Redneck nailed Burke with a jumping spinning leg lariat and was fired up. He whipped Burke into the corner and charged only to get a boot to the face. The Paragon of Virtue went to the top rope; an area he's not familiar and dived down onto his opponent and it earned him a spinning wheel kick to the face in mid air. Yang quickly got up to his feet and jumped to the top rope followed by the Yang Time on Burke with the 1, 2, and 3.
Roberts: "The winner of the match, Jimmy Wang Yang!"
Yang rolled out of the ring and got his arm raised after pulling of an upset on the Silver-Tongued Pugilist. Burke was absolutely livid that he lost and attacked the victor from behind when he tried to go up the ramp. He rolled him in the ring and delivered the Elijah Experience on him. Somebody then ran to the ring to help Yang and it was Rey Mysterio. Mysterio entered the ring and hit Burke with his forearms and went for an Irish whip only to be whipped to the ropes instead and got a dropkick to the face. Burke placed Mysterio in the corner and lowered his knee pads for the Elijah Express but Mysterio evaded it in time. He then dropkicked Burke on the back, signaling for the 619 and got it followed by a seated senton. Mysterio helped up Yang to his feet as the two acknowledged the fans while Burke retreated up the ramp after receiving the 619.
Backstage, King Booker arrived without Queen Sharmell and presumably because of Abyss' Black Hole Slam. He entered the arena not looking pleased at all as he was interviewed by Josh Matthews.
Matthews: "King Booker, what do you plan to do next after Abyss did the Black Hole Slam on her last week causing her not to be here tonight?"
Booker: "You simple minded peasant! Do you side yourself with Abyss, who attacks an innocent woman after a match? I, King Booker, will do everything in my power to avenge my wife and queen after the horrendous actions of this so called "Monster" even if it means meeting him in that ring."
The king rushed off to somewhere after responding to the question. Back in the ring, another match was about to start with the introductions with Justin Roberts.
Roberts: "This next contest is scheduled for one fall introducing first, from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, weighing in at 195 lbs, Teddy Hart!"
Breakout, Breakout sounded as the member of the Hart family walked down the aisle being praised by his fans. He entered the ring and hoped that he would pick up the win from his opponent.
Roberts: "And his opponent, from Minneapolis, Minnesota, weighing in at 265 lbs, Brock Lesnar!"
The Next Big Thing blared through the speakers as Lesnar came out to the stage to face the booing crowd and his opponent in the ring. Once Lesnar was near the ring, he jumped onto the apron to activate his pyro then went in the ring.
Teddy Hart vs. Brock Lesnar
Teddy circled Lesnar to avoid his grasp as he did a few quick kicks to the side with the last kick being caught and Lesnar threw the leg away for a forearm to the back of the head and a high back suplex. He whips Teddy to the corner and drives his shoulder in his gut followed by two more shoulder thrust. Lesnar does a snap suplex on Teddy after pulling him out of the corner. He then picks up Teddy and throws him into the air with an overhead belly to belly suplex. Lesnar was about to suplex Teddy again but he fought back with knees to the gut and did a drop toe hold on him. Teddy dropped a few elbows to the back of Lesnar to keep him from getting up. He bounced off the ropes for a football kick on Lesnar's midsection and went for a quick pin only to get thrown into the air at 1. The Canadian Aerialist drilled Lesnar's head to the canvas with a snap DDT while he was on his knees. Teddy went up to the top rope while Lesnar was down and he jumped towards him with a corkscrew elbow drop to the back. He hooked the leg for a pin but got a 2 count instead. He kept on kicking Lesnar until he was about to get up and teddy ran to the ropes for momentum only to receive a high impact clothesline that twisted him in midair. Lesnar would try to put the Brock Lock in but Teddy reversed it into a sunset flip pin and rolled through for a low dropkick to the face. Teddy went to the ropes to do a springboard moonsault only to be caught with a front powerslam. The Next Big Thing finished off his opponent with the F-5 at the center of the ring and covered Teddy for the victory.
Roberts: "The winner of the match, Brock Lesnar!"
The big man from Minnesota had the win in his pocket but wasn't done with his opponent as he applied the Brock Lock. The referee told Lesnar to break the hold but didn't so he rung the bell and told something to the announcer.
Roberts: "The referee has decided to reverse the previous decision and therefore the winner of the match by disqualification, Teddy Hart!"
Lesnar's eyes widened when he heard the decision was reversed and this got him to only apply more pressure on the hold. He released the hold and exited the ring to see his work, Teddy being consulted by the referee and was hurt. The cameras were now focused on the commentators for the moment.
Coach: "Now that is how you make a statement. If people want to rise in this business they have to make themselves known like that."
Cole: "I don't know if you want to get on top of the mountain by attacking people after the match but there is one superstar who made a statement so big that he can't be ignored."
Joey: "When the end of the International Championship match was about to be foreseen when Undertaker dominated The Zeroes and Monty Brown, cohorts of John Morrison, the champion did a dirty tactic with a low blow. Benedict Rockwell was about to save the match from being a screwjob only to hit The Deadman with the chair and Batista, showing his true colors by helping the man that cost him his match on the last pay-per-view."
Coach: "Tonight, the Music Maniac will explain his actions later on the night about why he did what he did last week but now let's enjoy a tag team match."
Roberts: "This next tag team match is scheduled for one fall introducing first, weighing in a combined weight of 724 lbs, Matt Striker and Big Daddy V!"
Calling All Cars played as the two men walked down the ramp absorbing the boos of the crowd as Big V raised his hand in a "V" gesture, possibly meaning "victory" for this match. Striker took a microphone into his hand and began to address the crowd.
Striker: "It was already announced that me and Big Daddy V will compete against Cryme Tyme at Sunday. We will become a force to be reckoned with when he beat the boys from "the hood". Better be prepared for the match boys because here is what going to happen to you at the match. Class is in session."
After addressing the crowd, he got much louder boos from them as Big V stared at the stage to see who their next victims are.
Roberts: "And their opponents, from Oban, Scotland, weighing in at 34 stone, Rory and Robbie McAllister, The Highlanders!"
The duo's Scottish theme hit and they made their way to the ring slapping hands with the fans though Robbie still has that itch. The two cousins entered the ring and faced the behemoth before them before the start of the match.
The Highlanders vs. Matt Striker and Big Daddy V
Big V stood inside the ring as Striker went to their corner and waited on the apron as Rory started off for their team. Rory ducked under an attack from Big V and pounded on his back with no effect to him at all. He bounced off the ropes towards Big V but got flattened by a big shoulder block. Big V clotheslined Rory off his feet before stepping on his back and midsection while he was down. Big V tags in Striker as the former school teacher backs Rory to their corner while Big V does an open handed chop on his chest. Striker now does a vertical suplex on Rory before going for a pin that only reached a 1 count. He then dropped a forearm on the spine of Rory twice and told him to get up. Striker whips Rory to an open corner and does two shoulder thrusts that got Rory down into a seated position. He then bounced off the ropes for a facewash but Rory moved out of the way. Rory did a hip toss on Striker once he recovered and tagged in Robbie where the two connected with a double clothesline. Robbie now lifted Striker to the air with a half nelson gutbuster and went for a pin but got a 2 count only. The Scotsman whipped Striker to open corners twice across the ring and ended it with a STO. Robbie tried to do a side slam backbreaker on the Educator but he countered with shots to the back and a Russian Legsweep. Striker does a hangman's neckbreaker on Robbie after getting up to his feet. He then tags in the behemoth known as Big V as Striker whips Robbie to the ropes before getting downed by a drop toe hold and was squashed by a splash from Big V. Big V picked up the Scottish superstar in the corner and landed another chop to the chest that echoed around the building. He then slammed him down to the mat with a side belly to belly suplex. The referee counted the attempted pin but only reached the 2 count as Rory broke it. Just as Big V picked up Robbie, he got out of his grasp and began hitting him with punches which didn't affect the monster. Robbie tried to bouncing off the ropes but received a spinning side slam while Rory tagged himself in. Rory climbed the top rope only to get caught in mid air for a chokebomb. Big V hoisted up Rory on his shoulders as Striker went to the top turnbuckle and they performed their electric chair/ diving shoulder block move on Rory. The Dominating Force bounced off the ropes with a devastating elbow drop on Rory followed by the 3 count as Striker executed the Golden Rule on Robbie.
Roberts: "The winners of the match, Matt Striker and Big Daddy V!"
The two raised their arms after the match and left the ring as Striker was saying "that's what's going to happen to Cryme Tyme!" to the fans near him while going up the ramp with the show going to a commercial break.
-COMMERCIAL-
BLOCKBUSTER came back from the break as the crowd began booing when they heard Get Up by Breaking Point. Benedict Rockwell made his way to the ring along with John Morrison, Monty Brown and the Zeroes. The five superstars entered the ring despite being jeered by almost everyone in the arena. The International Champion took a microphone in his hands and began to talk while the others stood behind him.
Morrison: "The balance of power has shifted and it shifted to my favor. I was able to retain my title in my match with the Undertaker because of the people you see behind me. The International Tag Team Champions now side with me, the International Champion, and it will be only a matter of time before we take this brand into our control. Everybody really wants to know why Benedict Rockwell betrayed all of you people with a single chair shot to the Deadman and now he will explain."
The Guru of Greatness handed the microphone to Rockwell and he took it as the Earphoned Youngster looked on the disapproving fans.
Rockwell: "You see, a few weeks ago John Morrison said commented on my in ring skill and I could've heard an invitation to join him on the top of professional wrestling's mountain. I thought siding with the A-List Elitist was a foolish decision and it proved to be a mistake. Weeks later, I was in the ring Batista for the New Frontier Championship and a chance to become No.1 Contender for the International Championship however that won't be that night. Morrison interfered in the match by smashing Batista before I could be put through the table. Instead of thanking him for the help, I nailed him on the head with the chair leading to a spear and a spinebuster from Batista. Because of my selfishness, my impeccable undefeated streak was crushed. Batista, you broke my streak and now I'm going to break you --"
Just as Rockwell was about to finish his sentence, the lights went out sending the crowd into a frenzy. A bell was tolled and fog was starting to build up in the arena followed by another toll. The five superstars looked around the ring if the Undertaker was near it only to see him appear on the titantron.
Undertaker: "Benedict Rockwell, you have made a grave mistake when you picked your side last week and now you will pay the price in the form of a match at Road to Nowhere. A week and two days, your soul will join the others who have faced darkness. Rockwell, you will rest in peace!"
The Undertaker's eyes went white as the lights darkened once again and came back up with the five retreating backstage, not taking any chances if the Undertaker chooses to appear at that time. Backstage, Kofi Kingston was seen preparing for his match and Peter Impact appears as the two was about to make their way to the ring for Kofi's match.
Roberts: "This next contest is scheduled for one fall introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Paul Burchill, from the Caribbean, weighing in at 220 lbs, Carlito!"
Cool sounded as the second generation superstar walked down the ramp being booed by the crowd for his recent attacks on Peter Impact. Burchill would even the odds with Peter's appearance beside Kofi in the match.
Roberts: "And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Peter Impact, from Jamaica, weighing in at 218 lbs, Kofi Kingston!"
S.O.S by Collie Buddz was heard and Kofi activated his pyro as Peter stood on the ramp, pointing to Carlito. They made their way down to the ring clearly focused on the match as Kofi entered the ring and Peter stayed ringside.
Kofi Kingston w/ Peter Impact vs. Carlito w/ Paul Burchill
Carlito and Kofi started off with a collar-elbow-tie-up and Carlito hit a knee to the midsection of Kofi and landed a few punches to the face. He then whipped Kofi to the ropes to hit a dropkick to the face of his opponent. Carlito took Kofi by the hair while he was down and began pounding on him until the referee told him so at the count of 4. Carlito then put Kofi in the corner before smashing Kofi with elbow shots to the face and a shoulder thrust followed by an Irish whip and went for a clothesline but only tasted the corner and Kofi does a hurricanrana. Kofi takes down Carlito with a running leg lariat and his opponent rolls out of the ring as soon he took damage. The Controlled Frenzy tries to dive out of the ring but fakes it as Carlito tried to block it by going behind Burchill. Kofi eventually jumped over the top rope with a springboard crossbody on both men. He then rolls Carlito into the ring and goes for a pin but got a 2 count only. Kofi now does a suplex on Carlito and goes for another pin which earned the same 2 count. He then attempts to whip Carlito to the ropes only to be reversed with a kick to the midsection followed by a combination of a knee lift and a clothesline. The Caribbean Superstar now went flying as he did a springboard corkscrew senton and a springboard moonsault however the moonsault was avoided with knees raised by Kofi. The man from Jamaica goes for a clothesline only to be countered with a reverse DDT. Carlito began stomping on the right leg of Kofi and did more damage with an elbow drop to it. He preformed a spinning toe hold to weaken the leg and did a legdrop when he didn't tap. Carlito picked up Kofi and threw him in the corner where he kicked at his worked leg and used the ropes by wrapping the leg on the second rope. He then did a dropkick to the leg while it was trapped on the rope. Now Carlito went for a single leg Boston crab. With his focus intently on Kofi's leg, Carlito really had the pressure on his opponent. Burchill then distracted the referee as Carlito used the ropes for more leverage on the hold but the official saw this and told him to break the hold and he did at 4. Carlito now attempted to apply a figure four leglock which was reversed by Kofi when he used his good leg to kick away Carlito towards the steel ring post. Kofi pulled himself up with the ropes and managed to run up to Carlito for a monkey flip. The Jamaican Sensation went for a kick with his bad leg which was caught by Carlito and Kofi turned it into an enzuigiri. He then connected with a swinging neckbreaker on Carlito and went for a pin only to get a 2 count. Kofi now bounced off the ropes while his opponent was down and signaled for the double leg drop only to get a spinebuster. Carlito executed a whiplash like neckbreaker on his opponent and goes for the cover and Kofi kicks out at 2. The Caribbean Bad Apple was measuring Kofi with his signature lifting reverse STO that only got countered with a few elbows to the face and a Russian legsweep. Kofi immediately jumped into the air with a double leg drop to Carlito's chest. He was about to nail Carlito with the Trouble in Paradise, he got distracted when Burchill attacked Peter outside the ring. Carlito capitalized when he delivered the Backstabber to Kofi while the referee told Burchill to go back to the locker room for he was dejected out of ringside. Peter then had his revenge on Carlito's attacks for weeks with the Impact DDT while the referee was handling Burchill. Kofi put his forearm on Carlito as the Peter told the official to go back to the ring and he counted the winning 3 seconds.
Roberts: "The winner of the match, Kofi Kingston!"
Kofi rolled out of the ring before Burchill got inside and celebrated with a win with Peter at the ramp. Backstage, we see Josh Matthews about to talk to the New Frontier Champion Batista after the recent match.
Matthews: "Batista, how do you plan on defeating Benedict Rockwell when he has now sided with the International Champion John Morrison, Monty Brown and the International Tag Team Champions The Zeroes?"
Batista: "I have faced worse odds than what I have in store tonight. This New Frontier Championship will stay around my waist until I face Morrison for the title at Road to Nowhere and become the first man to hold two titles in this company."
The champion walked from the set and saw Triple H who was chatting with another superstar. The Game saw Batista and walked up to him with a smile.
Triple H: "Don't worry about Morrison and his goons, I have your back."
Batista and Triple H shook hands and have agreed to back each other against the forces of Morrison and his partners. Now back to the ring, another match was about to take place.
Roberts: "This next contest is scheduled for one fall introducing first, from Metropolis, weighing in at 240 lbs, Chris Hero!"
Requiem for a Tower played and Hero made his way down to the ring and just taunted the people booing him at the ramp. He would really like to avenge his loss against Jeff Hardy when he got pinned in their Triple Threat Match.
Roberts: "And his opponent, from Cameron, North Carolina, weighing in at 225 lbs, he is the current United States Champion, Jeff Hardy!"
No More Words hit and Jeff came out to the stage to greet an overwhelming ovation from his fans. After activating his pyro on the stage, he slapped hands with the crowd on his way down to the ring. He then gave the referee his belt before acknowledging to the crowd and jumped down to the canvas.
Non-Title:
United States Champion Jeff Hardy vs. Chris Hero
The two superstars were now locked in a collar-elbow-tie-up at the center of the ring and forced Jeff into a corner then landed a knee to the midsection. Hero takes down Jeff with a snapmare after backing up and landed a forearm shot to the back. He picks up Jeff and whips him to the ropes across the ring and downs him with a reverse elbow to the face. Hero was just making Jeff look weak by slapping him on the side of the head and kicking him on the face before doing a leg drop. After picking up Jeff, Hero whips Jeff to the corner harshly and does a scoop slam followed by double foot stomp and a senton on the United States Champion. Hero went for a pin only to get a kick out at 2. He tried to pick up Jeff and received a sitout jawbreaker. With Hero stunned, Jeff connected with a Russian Legsweep and rolls through for a double leg pin on his opponent for a 2 count. Jeff ducked under a punch from Hero for a back suplex and followed it with a front somersault legdrop. He then put a chinlock on his opponent and after a few minutes in the hold Hero managed to get out of the hold with a kick to the head. Hero rolls out of the ring for a little break only to get a plancha from the Extreme Enigma. As Jeff stands up after diving out of the ring, Hero tries to crawl out of dodge. Jeff sees this and charges towards him but gets a drop toe hold onto the steel steps' lowest step. Hero then proceeds to throw Jeff to the security barrier near him before going into the ring and exiting it again letting the referee start the count again. He then rolls Jeff inside the ring and goes for a pin which only reaches 2. Hero then goes for a cravate on the United States Champion to work on the neck after being thrown to the barrier at ringside. After Jeff tried to fight out of the hold, Hero executes the Cravate Countdown to keep the offense on his side. The man from Metropolis now climbs to the top rope and stands on the top measuring his opponent for the Hero Sandwich I but Jeff moved out of the way. Jeff gets a few rights to the face and goes for a kick which was countered with a double leg slam once again focusing on the neck. Hero now kicks Jeff on the midsection for the Cravate Cutter which is reversed into a Reverse of Fate attempt that was turned back into the Cravate Cutter. He then now puts on the modified dragon sleeper on his opponent putting pressure on that neck. Jeff now tried to reach for the ropes to force Hero to break the hold only to be foiled when he got dragged back to the center of the ring. He did however manage to get out of the hold when Hero went for an inverted suplex and Jeff reversed it into an inverted DDT. Jeff now lands a few blows to Hero before going for a kick and this time he turned it into a spinning mule kick. The Charismatic Enigma now kicks Hero on the gut and does a sitout inverted suplex slam. Hero tried to recover in the corner which proved to be a bad choice as Jeff leveled him with a rope aided dropkick. Jeff now signaled for the Twist of Fate but Hero managed to counter it by getting out of the attempt for a Hero DDT. Hero now hooks Jeff's leg for a pin only to receive a 2 count. He was now measuring The Legend Thriller for the Rolling Elbow which was ducked by Jeff and hit his snap reverse powerbomb. Jeff climbs the top rope and lands on Hero's chest with the Swanton Bomb. Before he could capitalize, JBL came into the ring and laid out the champion with a Clothesline from Hell causing a disqualification.
Roberts: "The winner of the match by disqualification, the United States Champion, Jeff Hardy!"
Though the bell has been rung, JBL signaled for another Clothesline from Hell as Jeff tried to get up only to be nailed with the move again. JBL took the United States Championship from the referee and raised it up high, proclaiming he is the next United States Champion. Now backstage was the International Tag Team Champions, The Zeroes, are going to the ring for their match while they were backed by the group's enforcer, Monty Brown.
Roberts: "This next tag team match is scheduled for one fall introducing first, weighing in a combined 435 lbs, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles and "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels!"
I Am blasted through the speakers and the two walked down the ramp as they were met with the cheers of the crowd. They entered the ring and stood on the turnbuckles posing to the people in attendance before they challenge the abilities of the champions.
Roberts: "And their opponents, being accompanied to the ring by Monty Brown, from Atlanta, Georgia, weighing in a combined weight of 472 lbs; they are the International Tag Team Champions, Warwick and Titus, The Zeroes!"
The Fad by Chevelle was heard and Warwick and Titus made their way to the ring with Monty Brown just ignoring the jeers they hear from the fans. After entering the ring, they raised their titles into the air playing a little mind games with their opponents before the match.
Non Title Match:
AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels vs. International Tag Team Champions The Zeroes w/ Monty Brown
Before the match started, Warwick attacked Daniels from behind and just pounded on him while he was backed into an open corner. After getting forced to break the assault, Daniels turned the tables and started attacking Warwick. He whipped Warwick across the ring and landed a charging high knee to the face while he was in the corner. After that he lifted up Warwick into the air with a vertical suplex. He tags in AJ and Daniels does an inverted atomic drop followed by a dropkick to the chest. AJ now goes for a pin and earns himself a 2 count.

Titus drives his knee to Daniels' midsection in their corner until the referee forces him back, starting an argument while Warwick uses the tag rope to choke out Daniels. He stopped before being spotted and acted like nothing happened as the fans booed the two devious superstars. Titus brings Daniels to the center of the ring for a scoop slam and bounces off the ropes for a jumping legdrop. While Daniels was down, he put him in a bearhug to tire him down. AJ was in his corner pumping up the crowd and telling his partner not to give up. Daniels then managed to get up on his feet and hit Titus with his elbows that got him to break the hold. He was about to bounce off the rope when Warwick kicked him on the back, stopping his momentum for Titus to hit a STO. Titus tags in Warwick and the two perform a spinebuster/ leg lariat combination on Daniels. Warwick went for a pin only to get a 2 count. After landing another European Uppercut, he whips Daniels to the corner and runs towards him only to get a low dropkick causing Warwick to hit the middle turnbuckle.

BLOCKBUSTER came back from the commercial break and another match was in store before the main event and Justin Roberts is about to announce the superstars included in the match.
Roberts: "This next match is scheduled for one fall introducing first, standing at 6 ft and 8 inches, weighing in at 350 lbs, Abyss!"
Down in the Catacombs blared as Abyss stood on the stage before activating his pyro. Abyss walked down to the ring, entered it and waited for his opponent.
Roberts: "And his opponent, standing in 6 ft and 3 inches, weighing in at 270 lbs, Kevin Thorn!"
Thorn's theme played and he made his way down to the ring with his spiky hair and new attire to go with it. After entering the ring, he just stared at his opponent thinking of ways to torture the bigger man of the two.
Abyss vs. Kevin Thorn
The two in ring monsters started off with a collar-elbow-tie-up and Thorn lifted his knee to Abyss' gut. After smashing his forearms on Abyss' back, he whips him to the ropes only to get taken down with a shoulder block. Abyss picked up his opponent and hit a couple punches before whipping him into the corner where he squashed him against the turnbuckles with a splash. He goes for another one only to hit the turnbuckles when Thorn moved out of the way. Thorn downed his opponent with a neckbreaker after landing a forearm to the back of the head.

Roberts: "The winner of the match, Abyss!"
The referee raised Abyss' arm in victory and he was about to celebrate on his way to the top of the ramp until King Booker's image appeared on the screen. Abyss looked at the furious king while the fans booed his royal highness.
Booker: "Abyss! What you have done to my wife is inexcusable, unnecessary and unforgivable. You will pay for what you have done! Our general manager has told me that I will get that chance of revenge, at Road to Nowhere, it will be Abyss versus King Booker!"
Abyss nodded at Booker's message to him and it was official that he would face the Ruler of the BLOCKBUSTER Kingdom at the pay-per-view. Now backstage were the International Tag Team Champions The Zeroes, Monty Brown and John Morrison gathering behind the challenger for the New Frontier Championship, Benedict Rockwell. Also seen was Batista, walking down the locker room area with his New Frontier Title around his waist.
Roberts: "This main event contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the New Frontier Championship! Introducing first the challenger, from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 240 lbs, Benedict Rockwell!"
Get Up by Breaking Point played and Rockwell, along with the other four of their new group, walked down the aisle and heard the huge amount of jeers of the fans at their seats. Since he betrayed the fans by screwing Undertaker of the International Championship, Rockwell now is more serious about climbing the wrestling ladder and Batista is his first step to the top.
Roberts: "And his opponent, from Washington D.C, weighing in at 290 lbs, he is the current New Frontier Champion, Batista!'
I Walk Alone hit and the fans roared with a high ovation that they can't even hear the person next to them. Batista appeared on the stage and gestured to the fans before activating his pyro followed by him walking to the ring. When he entered the ring, the five superstars occupying it quickly exited it, planning what to do next. Rockwell entered the ring as the belt was raised before the match officially started.
New Frontier Championship:
New Frontier Champion Batista vs. Benedict Rockwell w/ John Morrison, Monty Brown and The Zeroes
When the bell rang, Warwick, Titus, Brown and Morrison surrounded the ring like lumberjacks in a Lumberjack Match, problem was this wasn't that match. Batista remained focused on his opponent and the two entered a lock up and he pushed him to the corner using all of his power. Rockwell didn't take it lightly as he walked up to Batista and slapped him on the face, showing full disrespect to the much more experienced. This infuriated him and Batista just lifted Rockwell off his feet and backed him to the nearest corner and did a few shoulder thrusts to his midsection. Batista tried to whip him across the ring but Rockwell stopped it by grabbing the ropes and kicking Batista on the midsection. Rockwell put him in a side headlock trying to wear down Batista but he just pushed him to the ropes where Batista downed him with a shoulder block. He bounced off the ropes and did another shoulder block on Rockwell before he rolled out of the ring, getting frustrated with the events. Morrison told him something before he entered the ring again and the match continued. Batista cornered Rockwell and tried a right hand but it was dodged and he clobbered him with boots to the torso. With Batista sitting in the corner, Rockwell charged and landed a knee to the face. He dragged him back to the center of the ring and bounced off the ropes with a knee drop to his opponent. He goes for a pin but Batista kicked out before a count was established. Rockwell kicked Batista on the gut with a football kick, sending him to the outside where Brown was in. Rockwell was busy distracting the referee when Brown put his hands on Batista only to regret it when he got a knee to the midsection and thrown to the security barricade. Warwick and Titus tried to help only to get a beating of the minds. Batista treated Morrison with a clothesline as soon he ran towards him. He entered the ring and grabbed Rockwell by the throat, after he was done talking to the referee, and hoisting him up in a military press and threw him to the four of his allies. The fans were cheering as Batista retrieved his opponent from the scene of littered bodies and threw him in the ring. He was about to get into the ring but Rockwell dropkicked his leg in mid entrance through the middle ropes, causing it to be entangled in the middle rope. Rockwell kicked it a few times at the leg before Batista was fully in the ring. He taunted the New Frontier Champion until he stood up, aiming with a hard kick to the leg. The Californian Rocker measured his opponent while he tried to get to a vertical base and bounced off the ropes with a chop block to the knee of the leg. Rockwell gave out a mocking imitation of a "WOOOO!" from Batista's former mentor Ric Flair before attempting a Figure Four Leg Lock only to be kicked out of the ring by Batista. Before Batista could get up, Warwick and Titus picked up their associate and rolled him in the ring to continue his offensive momentum. He charged towards him only to get nailed by a boot to the face by his opponent. With his leg lagging from the amount of pain inflicted by Rockwell, he managed to clothesline his challenger off his feet. He lifted him on his shoulders after another clothesline and connected with a rolling fireman's carry slam nearly on one leg. Batista kicked Rockwell on the midsection and did a suplex powerslam and went for the first and could nearly be the last pin of the match but Rockwell kicked out at 2. He then whipped Rockwell top the corner and hit a corner clothesline on him with Morrison and the others wincing at what was being dished out at their partner. Batista whipped him across the corner and charged but got a low dropkick to the leg, causing him to collide with the middle turnbuckle. Rockwell used this opportunity to mount offense with a back suplex side slam. He then climbed the top rope and stood on the top rope as jumped high into the air with a Shooting Star Press but missed when Batista rolled to the side. When he got up, he picked up Rockwell off his feet and did a short arm clothesline on him. Warwick tried to help Rockwell only to get thrown out of the ring by Batista and was followed by Titus. He was about to do a front powerslam but got his eyes raked and Rockwell managed to escape to execute the Exclusive Hit. The Earphoned Youngster stalked Batista with the Music Nation Anthem and successfully did the move. He hooked the leg for the win only to be denied with a 2 count. He argued with the referee with the pin count and later turned to Batista but got a stiff clothesline. Batista got up to his feet and shook the ropes violently before looking at Rockwell. He then quickly performed his signature Spinebuster only to flinch when his bad knee landed on the mat. Rockwell used this opportunity to roll him up quickly but received a 2 count again. The Music Maniac was about to deliver the Full Volume Edition on Batista but he reversed it with a spinning side slam. He gave the "thumbs up, thumbs down" gesture and proceeded to Batista Bomb Rockwell but Morrison hit him with a steel chair on the back of the head while Brown "chatted" with the referee. Rockwell now leveled him opponent successfully with the Full Volume Edition and the match was his.
Roberts: "The winner of the match and NEW New Frontier Champion, Benedict Rockwell!"
People in the arena began booing when the pin ended as Brown gave the New Frontier Championship to the new champion and they celebrated by lifting Rockwell into the air. When they saw Batista recovering, Morrison ordered The Zeroes to attack him and they did. They did their Powerbomb/ flying neckbreaker move on the defenseless former champion. Morrison took his title and shouted to him he'll never reach the pinnacle of IWA before connecting with the Moonlight Drive. Brown, The Zeroes and Benedict Rockwell raised their hands as the booing continued before the show blacked out.
