Chapter 37: Feels Like Royalty – BLOCKBUSTER August week 3

Friday night began with BLOCKBUSTER's intro video followed by the set of pyro going off on the stage while the fans went crazy on screaming their lungs to their hearts content. The cameras pointed to all the fans as they put up their homemade signs for their favorite, or hated, superstars. BLOCKBUSTER will officially begin with a non title match with the United States Champion.

Roberts: "This opening non title contest is scheduled for one fall introducing first, from Cameron, North Carolina, weighing in at 225 lbs, the United States Champion, Jeff Hardy!"

No More Words played and the fans all stood for their favorite risk taker as he happily walked out to the cheers when his pyro went off. He clasped hands with the crowd members as he went down the ramp before entering the ring. Jeff was ready to accept any challengers for his title after his recent title defense as anyone would possibly do.

Roberts: "And his opponent, weighing in at 290 lbs, Kevin Thorn!"

The Fanged Fiend's theme sounded when the vampire known as Thorn exited through the curtain and to the stage. He was recently inactive for weeks but now he was set to change that with a victory over the United States Champion.

Non-Title Match:

United States Champion Jeff Hardy vs. Kevin Thorn

Thorn and Jeff started off with an attempt for a test of strength which Thorn was winning before he broke it with a kick to his opponent's midsection to further get the upper hand. He then whipped Jeff to the ropes where he almost took his head off with a powerful lariat. Thorn stomped his opponent's back and kicked him out of the ring. He then tried to go out of the ring himself but Jeff stopped him by going to the apron quickly and dropkicking him on his chest. Jeff went into the ring briefly before diving out and down on Thorn with a slingshot senton. The crowd was pumped up due to Jeff's risk taking offense he has dishing to Thorn. He then stands on the security barricade and runs along it before jumping towards Thorn only to be caught and slammed against the steel ring post. He does this one more time before doing a scoop slam right on the arena floor. Thorn throws Jeff through the ropes and into the ring and follows quickly before going for a pin that just reached 1 and a half. He then uses the ropes for leverage as he steps on Jeff's throat up to the referee's count of 4. Thorn now picks up Jeff in a front facelock while landing clubbing blows to the back before doing a vertical suplex. He whips him to the ropes where Jeff rebounded with a forearm smash. Jeff was about to go off the ropes towards his opponent but earned himself a boot to the face. Thorn now shows his power over Jeff as he throws his lighter opponent across the ring without much difficulty. He sees Jeff getting up in the corner and squashes him against the turnbuckles with a corner splash. Thorn whips Jeff to the corner across the ring but used the momentum of the Irish whip to go up to the top rope and hit the Whisper in the Wind. The Rainbow Haired Warrior kicks him on the midsection before connecting with a sitout inverted suplex slam. He quickly followed up with a somersault legdrop before going for a pin that reached the count of 2. Jeff whips The Follower of Vampirism into the corner but he counters the move with a strong uppercut to the throat and was thinking of his signature Crucifix Powerbomb where Jeff escaped instead. Jeff pulls Thorn's legs off the mat and gives him a double legdrop to the midsection followed by a dropkick off the ropes to the face. He then took his legs once again for a double leg roll up which resulted in a 2 count. The Legend Thriller ducked under a clothesline from Thorn and performed a jumping neckbreaker. He shouted to the fans "SWANTON!" as he went up to the top rope but was stopped in pre-flight by Thorn. Thorn pulled Jeff until his ankles were being supported by the top rope and executed the Original Sin. He pulled Jeff away from the ropes and covered him for the winning pinfall.

Roberts: "The winner of the match, Kevin Thorn!"

The Monster of the Night has made a strong come back now with a pinfall over the United States Champion which may give him contention to the title. He exited the ring content with a win with a grin on his face. Jeff's winning roll stopped tonight after being vanquished by Thorn. The cameras now focus on the announce table of BLOCKBUSTER consisted of Jonathan Coachman, Michael Cole and Joey Styles.

Coach: "That was just a preview of what we have in store for all of you tonight. We will have one of our great International Tag team Champions in action tonight against AJ Styles and after what happened on Xtreme Revelation, they must be riding high tonight."

Cole: "Riding high they are Coach. Also in for tonight is a rematch of their match from Road to Nowhere where the New Frontier Champion meets The Phenom: Benedict Rockwell going against the Undertaker. Rockwell must be worried with going on another round against him."

Styles: "Indeed he is. Another thing for our night, we will have five new superstars coming into our brand. Four of them will debut against one another in a tag team match later on tonight while the remaining one will face off against someone already in the roster."

Coach: "Our International Champion will not be outshined as he will be in action in the main event. He is going to face off against the Self Made Millionaire, John "Bradshaw" Layfield. Let's continue with the action with another match!"

Roberts: "This next contest is scheduled for one fall introducing first, from Yonkers, New York, weighing in at 242 lbs, Tommy Dreamer!"

Man in a Box hit when the pride of ECW came out to the stage, pointing to the crowd in attendance. Dreamer walked down the ramp and entered the ring still having that intent on becoming champion like he was once in his career.

Roberts: "And his opponent, representing the Impact Connection, from Detroit, Michigan and weighing in at 265 lbs, Monty Brown!"

Smooth blared through the arena as the powerful superstar of the Connection made his way down to the ring. Since joining the Connection, he become their enforcer that saw little in ring action so now he could remove any ring rust he could have.

Tommy Dreamer vs. Monty Brown

Brown and Dreamer began the match with a grapple at the center of the ring with Dreamer putting a side headlock on Brown which got him pushed to the ropes that took him down with a shoulder block. He then runs off the ropes again but this time Dreamer takes him down with a drop toe hold where he followed up with an elbow drop to the back. Dreamer whips Brown to the ropes where he ducks under Dreamer's attempt of a clothesline and connected with an exploder suplex. Now that he was the one with momentum, Brown picked up his opponent and whipped Dreamer to the corner and landed chest first that he bounced off towards Brown for a lariat to the back of the head. Brown covers Dreamer for the first pinfall of the match only to get a 1 and a half count. As Dreamer got to his feet on the apron, Brown was about to grab him only to get a shoulder thrust to the midsection. He tried to follow with a punch but Brown blocked it and headbutted him. While Dreamer was dazed by the blow, Brown had connected with a kick to his chest, sending him down to the ringside floor with a thud. Dreamer's back ached from the fall as the referee continued to count him out. When Dreamer finally managed to reenter the ring he was greeted with knees to the back from Brown. The Enforcer of the Connection picked up Dreamer in a scoop position and dropped him to his knee twice before doing a belly to back backbreaker. Brown picks up Dreamer to his feet once again as he whips him to the ropes for a clothesline only to have him stop using the ropes. Brown charged towards his direction but got Dreamer's boots connected to his face. Dreamer used the ropes for more momentum as he did a running bulldog on his opponent. He clotheslines Brown when he came back to his feet then ducked under a clothesline from him for a neckbreaker. The O.G. of Extreme now does a scoop lift on Brown before dropping him on the back of his head with an inverted DDT. Dreamer then puts Brown hanging down from the top turnbuckle before backing up for a fair distance between them before rushing towards him with a low dropkick to the face. He waits for Brown to turn around once he gets on his feet for his signature DDT which was countered into a side double underhook suplex. The Alpha Male attempted the Alpha Slam only to have Dreamer grab the ropes for safety and making Brown stop the move. Brown was about to grab Dreamer for another try but was taken by surprise by his DDT move. Dreamer quickly rolled Brown to his back and went for a pin but unfortunately he kicked out of it at a near fall. The Innovator of Violence asked the ref if it was a 3 count before going for his Dreamer Driver. This was however countered with an attempt for the Pounce but Dreamer countered the Irish whip to start the move with the Dreamer Driver. He covered his opponent for the 3 count.

Roberts: "The winner of the match, Tommy Dreamer!"

Dreamer has finally earned a win after being dominated and defeated by some of the superstars in the roster. He exited the ring, clearly more proud of his victory over the Enforcer of the Connection. Backstage, we see the general manager of the brand, Jayden Smith walking around the backstage, maybe looking for a superstar who will face Edge at Blackout. Josh Matthews then comes in to ask the GM about this matter.

Matthews: "Sir, have you already picked someone from the BLOCKBUSTER roster who will go against the Rated R Superstar?"

Smith: "I already have. I was just checking if he's in the arena. That man's identity will be revealed tonight in that very ring."

He left the set after answering the question in the fans minds who was he going to pick. After that the cameras go back to the ring for the tag team match of the four debuting superstars.

Roberts: "This tag team contest is scheduled for one fall introducing first, debuting in a combined weight of 490lbs, Homicide and Hernandez, The Latin American Xchange!"

To Live and Die in LAX was heard and the Heroes of the Latino Nation came out to the cheers of the crowd. LAX has come to IWA and it will surely ensure that BLOCKBUSTER's tag team division will have more fire in its flame.

Roberts: "And their opponents, first debuting from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 275 lbs, Chris Masters!"

Masterpiece Remix played when the crowd now saw Masters coming out to his theme and activated his pyro with three poses. The muscular powerhouse walked down to the ring confident that he will prevail in his first match.

Roberts: "And his partner, debuting from the United Bank of Switzerland, weighing in at 232 lbs, Claudio Castagnoli!"

1812 Overture hit as the Most Money Making Man began to make his entrance down the ramp. Castagnoli entered the ring with his partner, ready to start the match and defeat the two Latinos in the middle of the ring.

The Latin American Xchange vs. Chris Masters and Claudio Castagnoli

Castagnoli and Homicide begin the match with Homicide getting the upper hand by reversing Castagnoli's attempt for a collar-elbow-tie-up into a hammerlock only to get an elbow to the face. He then whips Homicide to the ropes but this is reversed into a small package which got a 1 count then Homicide takes down his opponent with an arm drag. Homicide does an arm wrench before whipping his opponent to the ropes where he nails him with a spinning reverse elbow. He does another arm wrench but takes him down in the process. With Castagnoli down, he does a grounded version of a hammerlock while Castagnoli manages to reach the bottom rope with his feet. Castagnoli tagged in Masters and Masters tried to intimidate Homicide which got him the presence of Hernandez after he got tagged in. The two flew their muscles in front of the other and soon engaged in a grapple. This looked like two bulls pushing the other with their horns evenly matched. They stopped pushing and Masters kicked Hernandez on the midsection. He then slammed him face first on the top turnbuckle twice and whipped him across the ring but Hernandez bounced back with a clothesline. Hernandez waits for Masters to get up in the corner as he charges and squashes him with a stinger splash. He then tags in Hernandez and they perform the Drive-By. Masters rolled out of the ring to prevent Homicide on trying a pinfall. Castagnoli comes down from the apron and talks strategy with him regarding their opponents. LAX couldn't wait as Hernandez hoisted up Homicide and threw him towards their opponents using the Border Toss. Homicide struggles to roll Masters into the ring but manages and Castagnoli sneaks up behind him where he throws him face first against the steel ring post and towards the security barrier. He puts him on the apron for his partner to get and Masters pulls him in once he was on his feet. He does a delayed vertical suplex on Homicide and goes for a pin but Homicide pops a shoulder up at 2. Masters drags Homicide to his corner and tags in Castagnoli. Masters whips Homicide to the ropes for his partner who drops him with a flapjack. The Stalwart Swiss Powerhouse shows Homicide his power by doing the Match Killer move in his arsenal before hooking his leg for a pin which was only a 2 count. Castagnoli was about to pick up Homicide when he stunned him with a jawbreaker. Homicide went for a kick which was caught by Castagnoli and he tripped the other leg for a giant swing. He tags in Masters now who runs towards homicide but didn't expect to use this opportunity to get back into the match with an overhead belly to belly suplex. Homicide reached for the tag to his partner while Masters was trying to get to his feet. Hernandez finally gets the tag as he clotheslines Masters down to the mat. After doing another clothesline, he throws Castagnoli into the ring forcibly. Hernandez backdrops both Masters and Castagnoli one after another as the fans continue to cheer for him. The Mexican Superman rips his shirt off and wraps it around Masters for a Biel Throw. Castagnoli comes out of nowhere with a bicycle kick to the chest of Hernandez to get the upper hand for his team but is planted by Homicide with the Gringo Cutta. Homicide kicks him out of the ring only to be taken advantaged of Masters who levels him with a double axe handle to the chest. The Masterpiece was stalking Homicide for the Master Lock which was prevented by Hernandez who turns him around for a military press. Homicide manages to recover from Masters' attack and he takes out Castagnoli again but this time with the Tope con Hilo. SuperMex whips Masters to the ropes and slams him hard with a spinebuster. Castagnoli and Homicide have managed to get up after the Tope con Hilo as Castagnoli pushes Homicide to the steps back first. Now feeling the match has come to an end, Hernandez was about to lift up Masters for the Border Toss which was delayed when Castagnoli tried to enter with his Halliburton with intent on hitting his opponent. The referee tried to keep Castagnoli from entering the ring with the Halliburton and Hernandez knocked him with a boot to the side of the head. Masters took him by surprise with the Master Lock fully applied and he started swinging Hernandez around trying to knock him unconscious. Even SuperMex was vulnerable to the Master Lock as he passed out while Homicide tried helping which was foiled by Castagnoli.

Roberts: "The winners of the match, Claudio Castagnoli and Chris Masters!"

Masters just smugly releases the Master Lock from Hernandez before exiting the ring while Homicide entered the ring to check if his partner was alright. Masters and Castagnoli raise their arms after winning as they went up the ramp before the commercial break started.

-COMMERCIAL-

Backstage, the team of AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels stood with Josh Matthews before the camera for their interview.

Matthews: "Guys, last time you were here you challenged The Zeroes to "prove you wrong" about their title reign. Now that they have accepted your challenge, what do you plan on doing next?"

AJ: "Next up on our to-do list is to take the International Tag Team Championship from them. If they want to prove us wrong about them, they'll put that title on the line and defend it against us."

Daniels: "We start with a one on one match with one of them tonight. One half of the Tag Team Champions will see the might of the Almighty when they step into the ring with God's Gift to Wrestling."

The two was about to walk off the set but saw The Zeroes standing right in front of them. The International Tag Team Champions glare at AJ and Daniels before speaking.

Warwick: "You two think you're a worthy of being contenders for our titles? We just accepted your challenge just to shut both of you up. The two of you are going to know tonight that you are extremely no match to The Zeroes."

Warwick and Titus walked off to another area backstage, leaving AJ and Daniels at the interview set. Back to the ring where another superstar was ready to make his debut against one of BLOCKBUSTER's finest.

Roberts: "This contest is scheduled for one fall introducing first, debuting from San Diego, California, weighing in at 200 lbs, Delikado!"

Real Muthaphuckkin G's by Easy-E blared around the arena when Delikado started to go down the ramp for his first match as an official member of the BLOCKBUSTER roster. He entered the ring and waited for his opponent.

Roberts: "And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Kid Kash, from Hanover, West Virginia, weighing in at 202 lbs, Jamie Noble!"

Bawitdaba was heard when Kash and Noble walked down the ramp, hoping they would get a win after weeks of inactivity. One half of the Pit Bulls entered the ring for their match right before the match began.

Delikado vs. Jamie Noble w/ Kid Kash

Noble was the first to go on the offensive by kicking Delikado on the midsection and putting him in a side headlock. Delikado pushes Noble to the ropes to get out of the hold but was taken down with a forearm smash. Noble now picks up Delikado and gets in a forearm to his face before whipping him to the ropes where Delikado knocks him down with a shoulder block. Delikado puts him down once more but with a hip toss instead. As Noble got up in the corner, Delikado ran up towards his direction for a shoulder thrust but he moved out of the way resulting with him hitting the steel ring post. After a short breather Noble went on the offensive with a cannonball senton on his opponent in the corner. He did a three leg drops to the back of the head of his opponent before going to the middle rope for a successful diving leg drop. Noble rolled Delikado on his back for the pinfall which was a 1 and a half count. He pounds on his back as he tried to get Delikado to his feet but was backed to a corner. Delikado whips Noble across the ring where hew bounced off and into an exploder suplex. He kicks him on the midsection and prepares to suplex him but turned it into a neckbreaker in mid-execution, calling it the Plex-Breaker. Delikado catches a kick from Noble who was about to go for an enzuigiri which Delikado ducked under. He was then slammed to the mat with a high angle back suplex followed by two more in consecutive succession. He soon hoisted up Noble for the finish but he slipped behind him where he bounced off of the ropes for a running leg lariat. He then connects with a neckbreaker on Delikado after he got up to his feet. Noble was about to whip Delikado to the ropes but is reversed into a cradle DDT. Delikado picks up his opponent and did an Irish whip to the ropes which was countered into a snap scoop powerslam from Noble followed by a pin but Delikado kicked out at 2. Noble argued with the referee for not counting in the right speed only to be caught off guard by Delikado with the One Hitter Quitter. Delikado hooked Noble's leg for the pin as Kash yelled to his partner to kick out which proved futile.

Roberts: "The winner of the match, Delikado!"

The newcomer picked up a win over one half of the ruthless cruiserweights but he was attacked by Kash from behind as the referee raised his arm up. Kash pounds him on the back right after his match while Noble is trying to recover. The Notorious K.I.D picks up Delikado and drills him to the mat with the Dead Level. He tells his partner to help him out finish Delikado and they did, executing a sitout spinebuster/ inverted DDT double team move. The Pit Bulls stood in the ring over the fallen victor and before any more damage was to be inflicted, Peter Impact ran into the ring to make the save. Though he was late for the party, Peter has successfully prevented Kash and Noble to possibly injure Delikado.

Backstage, Benedict Rockwell was preparing for his match with the Undertaker that was going to be up next. The New Frontier Champion was accompanied to the ring by the International Tag Team Champions and plans to win the match in any means.

Roberts: "This contest is a Road to Nowhere non title rematch scheduled for one fall introducing first, from Death Valley, weighing in at 299 lbs, The Undertaker!"

Rest in Peace sounded with the lights going off with the crowd erupting from their seats to see the spine-tingling entrance of the Undertaker. Undertaker would now get his chance on getting his hands on Rockwell after their bout in the last PPV where he was disqualified.

Roberts: "And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring by The Zeroes and representing the Impact Connection, from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 240 lbs, the New Frontier Champion Benedict Rockwell!"

Get Up hit when the earphone-wearing superstar strode down the ring with two other members of the Connection. Last week, he was pretty confident on proclaiming of another victory but now he looked less confident with the Undertaker now intent on crushing him even without the title on the line.

Non-Title Match:

The Undertaker vs. New Frontier Champion Benedict Rockwell w/ The Zeroes

Both men were ready to start the match with Rockwell being hesitant who was using the referee as a shield to prevent Undertaker to come near him. Rockwell told the referee to back up Undertaker and when he did he landed the first cheap shot of the night. Undertaker turned his head towards Rockwell with a face making Rockwell back up into a corner. He dodged a right from Undertaker before going for a combination of his own and whips him across the ring which was reversed into an attempt for the Tombstone Piledriver. Rockwell was quick to get out of Undertaker's grasp and out of the ring. He was resting for a while as the referee warned The Zeroes of interfering only to get pulled up by the hair onto the apron and onto the top rope. Undertaker drops an elbow to Rockwell's chest as he was suspended by the top rope. Now he focuses on Rockwell's arm by doing an arm wrench twice before ramming his shoulder to Rockwell's left shoulder. He did another arm wrench then went to the nearest corner's top rope still with a wrist lock on his opponent before teaching Rockwell some Old School lessons. He goes for the first cover of the match which was a 2 count from the referee. Undertaker whipped Rockwell to the corner and charged but ran into a boot from his opponent. Rockwell hopped to the second rope, readying himself to jump towards his opponent which proved to be a bad decision as he was caught by the throat. Before he could be Chokeslammed, he slipped behind Undertaker for a back suplex side slam. Rockwell puts him on a rear naked choke to wear him down a bit and when he showed signs of fighting back he released the hold and began stomping down on him. He kicked Undertaker until he fell of the ring apron and onto the arena floor. Rockwell was about to exit only to be stopped by the referee, thus distracting the ring official. The Zeroes used this time to attack the Undertaker by double teaming him. Titus held Undertaker still as Warwick got in hits to his face and midsection. He prepared a big punch but Undertaker moved out of the way, instead it hit Titus, making him release Taker from his grasp. Undertaker took out Warwick and Titus with punches to each of them, a big boot to Warwick and pushing Titus to the steel ring post. Just when Undertaker had managed to be in a safe zone, Rockwell comes in from behind, clobbering him with punches. He eventually rolls him into the ring for a pin that only reached a 1 count. Rockwell just stomps at Undertaker in a corner where he gets stopped by the referee at the count of 4. He picks him up to his feet and pulls him in for two consecutive knee lifts to the midsection followed by a leg drop bulldog just off the ropes. Rockwell goes for the pin again but Undertaker kicks out forcefully at 2. Rockwell puts him on his belly and drives his knee to his back multiple times. He taunted his fallen opponent only to be caught by the throat totally by surprise. Undertaker throws him into the corner where he lands lefts and rights on his opponent. Warwick climbs the apron hoping he would distract Undertaker only to get himself a hard right hand. Undertaker charged towards his opponent with a corner clothesline followed by an attempt of Snake Eyes which was reversed into an inverted facelock backbreaker followed by another and an inverted DDT. The Music Maniac puts Undertaker in a seated position at the center of the ring where he kicks him on the back twice before doing a shoot kick to the chest. He goes for another pin but Undertaker kicks out at 2. He now does an Irish whip and set up but gets a running DDT from Undertaker. The Phenom hits a few punches on Rockwell's face before whipping him to a corner where he bounced off into a sidewalk slam. Now he lifts Rockwell on his shoulder and drops him face first on the top turnbuckle for Snake Eyes followed by a running big boot. Titus tried to catch the attention of the Undertaker but was knocked from his place by a big boot. Undertaker now grabbed Rockwell by the throat for a Chokeslam but was once again countered with a kick to the midsection and taken down by his feet. The Earphoned Youngster now applies a modified version of a Cloverleaf, where he forces one of his knees against Undertaker's back. After all the attacks Rockwell had done to his opponent's back, it may have helped as Undertaker struggled to the ropes. Just when he had Undertaker trapped, someone's theme music suddenly played around the arena, making the crowd go wild and Rockwell release the hold. It was Everyday Combat, his brother's theme and after the Connection's conflict with the new stable formed four nights ago. Rockwell told The Zeroes to intercept Larson backstage along with who he was with. Rockwell didn't expect to get caught by the throat when he turned around and was planted with the Chokeslam. The end was very near as the Demon of Death Valley lifted Rockwell to his shoulder and drilled him at the center of the ring with the Tombstone Piledriver. Undertaker pinned Rockwell to the mat as the crowd chanted along with the count "Rest in peace".

Roberts: "The winner of the match, The Undertaker!"

After that hectic match, the Undertaker has finally put to rest his rivalry with the New Frontier Champion even though he did not win the title but a win is still a win. As soon the match was over, the Zeroes went back to fetch the unconscious Rockwell from the ring where Undertaker stood victorious.

Backstage, the superstar who will face the International Champion later in the night, John "Bradshaw" Layfield was about to be interviewed.

Matthews: "John, what are your thoughts going into your match with Batista?"

JBL: "My match with Batista is what will catapult me back into the title picture and a spot in history which I truly deserve. Since my loss against Jeff Hardy for his title, I now know that my place in this brand is in the main events. When I do beat Batista tonight, I will be ensured of a future title match that I guarantee."

The ever so proud superstar grinned at his response to the question before leaving the set. Right after the scene backstage, the cameras go back to the ring for another one on one match.

Roberts: "This match is scheduled for one fall introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Christopher Daniels, from Gainesville, Georgia, weighing in at 215 lbs, AJ Styles!"

I Am (Third Remix) played when AJ walked out to the stage with his partner and activated his pyro in front of the eyes of his fans. AJ walked down to the ring ready to defeat one half of the International Tag Team Champions and get one step closer to get a title match.

Roberts: "And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Titus Zero, from Atlanta, Georgia, weighing in at 226 lbs, he is one half of the International Tag Team Champions, Warwick Zero!"

The Fad by Chevelle was heard and the International Tag Team Champions began to walk down the ramp. After interfering in the IWA Tag Team Championship last Monday night, they sure made their leader proud but when Rockwell lost earlier due to a distraction they surely needed to bounce back.

AJ Styles w/ Christopher Daniels vs. International Tag Team Champion Warwick Zero w/ Titus Zero

As Titus and Daniels stayed on their respective side of the ringside area, Warwick and AJ started off with Warwick being put in a side headlock. He pushes AJ to the ropes and gets knocked down with a shoulder bock. When AJ bounces off the ropes, Warwick goes for a hip toss only to be countered by a monkey flip. AJ puts down Warwick with a drop toe hold and keeps him down with a front facelock. Warwick used his strength to get to his feet and back AJ to the corner where he lands a European Uppercut. He does another before doing a snapmare followed by a neck snap. Warwick goes for the cover on AJ but he quickly kicks out before a count is made. He whips AJ to the ropes for a back body drop but AJ flips over his back and connects with a swinging neckbreaker off the ropes. It was AJ's turn to whip Warwick to a corner but was reversed with him hitting the corner instead. Warwick got a boot to the face when he ran towards his opponent and now AJ went to the middle rope and drilled him to the canvas with a tornado DDT. Titus attempted to "talk" with AJ on the apron but Daniels soon neutralized him by pulling him off the apron. As soon Titus got to his feet, AJ had already bounced off the ropes and landed on him with the Fosbury Flop. The Phenomenal One was about to reenter the ring but was intercepted by Warwick with a baseball slide dropkick. He then slams AJ's face on the apron before rolling him in. Warwick goes to the top rope immediately and jumps off as soon AJ faced him for a clothesline. He goes for the pin and AJ kicked out at 2. The Impact Connection member decides to put his opponent in a chin lock. It didn't take too long for AJ to try and get to his feet which he did followed by him landing elbows to Warwick's midsection and pushes him to the ropes for a hard hitting dropkick. He knocks him back down with a reverse elbow to the face to continue his momentum. AJ whips Warwick to the ropes but AJ halted himself using the ropes and stops Warwick with an elbow to the face. The Prince of Phenomenal goes to the apron after this and springboards towards Warwick and hits a forearm strike to the back of his head. He then lifts up Warwick and drops on to the mat with the Cliffhanger. He covers one-half of the International Tag team Champions only to get a 2 count. AJ was about to go for the Rack Bomb on Warwick but he escaped and planted him with a belly to back wheelbarrow facebuster. Warwick was about to go for something like a crucifix powerbomb only to have AJ escape and nail him on his forehead with the Pelé Kick. AJ rolls up Warwick for the pin but he kicks out resulting in a 2 count. AJ now puts Warwick on the top rope about to execute a top rope hurricanrana which Warwick prevented by him when he held onto the ropes. Warwick now stood on the top rope and launched himself off with the Zero Star Press but missed when AJ rolled out of the way. AJ now performed the Styles Clash on Warwick as soon he got up and pinned him 1-2-3.

Roberts: "The winner of the match, AJ Styles!"

AJ had guaranteed a non-title win over one of the International Tag Team Champions and he successfully delivered. Daniels had already entered the ring when the match had ended to prevent an attack on his partner. Titus just took Warwick and helped him backstage as the two celebrated.

-COMMERCIAL-

Roberts: "This next contest is scheduled for one fall introducing first, from Greenwich, Connecticut, weighing in at 255 lbs, Triple H!"

The Game blared and the King of Kings emerged from the locker room to the stage to make his entrance. Triple H has been inactive for a couple of weeks and now he has returned to action. He entered the ring and waited for his opponent.

Roberts: "And his opponent, from Chelsea, England, weighing in at 247 lbs, Paul Burchill!"

Generation A sounded through the sound system as the Englishman walked towards the ring. Burchill would love to pick up a victory over a multiple time World champion which would be a good addition to his credentials.

Triple H vs. Paul Burchill

The two lock up at the center of the ring and Burchill gets Triple H in a side headlock only to be pushed to the ropes and get knocked down by a shoulder block. He then bounced off the ropes and jumped over Burchill and gets taken down with a drop toe hold. Burchill now drops an elbow to Triple H's back to keep him grounded. He then dropped a knee on Triple H's arm twice before kicking him on the chest. When he got up, he smashed his head on the nearest top turnbuckle before whipping him across the ring. Burchill charged towards Triple H and connected with a running shoulder thrust to the midsection and he followed up with knees to the abdomen. Now after taking down HHH with a snapmare, he focuses on the arm with an arm bar. Triple H fought back with fists to his opponent's face only to get slammed to the canvas. Burchill now repeatedly stomps on Triple H's arm before going back to the arm bar. Triple H managed to see that the ropes were near his foot so he just inched a little further for the rope break. Burchill eventually released the hold and tried to drag him far from the ropes only to get tossed through the ropes and out of the ring. Triple H now shook his arm to regain some feeling to it as Burchill crawled to the ring apron. When Burchill was standing on the apron, Triple H punched him right on the jaw and tossed him back in over the top rope. HHH now clotheslined his opponent twice when he got up to his feet and whipped him to the ropes for a back body drop. The Game did another Irish whip but was reversed by Burchill only to get countered by a running high knee strike to the face right off the ropes. Burchill tried to recover from that last shot in the corner as HHH was about to grab him but gets the tables turned when Burchill throws him right into the ring post with the left shoulder colliding. The Ripper attempted the Royal Mutilation on the arm but didn't notice Triple H's foot was under the bottom rope so he was forced to relinquish the hold. After arguing with the referee, he charged towards his opponent and was a victim of his spinning spinebuster. The King of Kings had the crowd jumping as he kicked Burchill on the midsection and had ended the match with the Pedigree and the 3 count.

Roberts: "The winner of the match, Triple H!"

With a successful return to action, Triple H was ready to start his quest to regain the top spot of BLOCKBUSTER. He celebrated in the ring for some reason, not yet leaving to the backstage area that is until the general manager of BLOCKBUSTER came out.

Smith: "Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce to you the superstar that will face the Rated R Superstar at Blackout, Triple H!"

The fans cheered some more as the grinning Triple H had accepted Edge's challenge to represent his brand and fight the ultimate Opportunist after he blamed the entire BOCKBUSTER locker room of costing him a match against Kurt Angle. Now backstage was the International Champion, Batista about to be interviewed.

Matthews: "Batista, do you have any thoughts going into your match against John "Bradshaw" Layfield?"

Batista: "If he thinks he'll use me as a stepping stone like what he said earlier, well it's his unlucky day because I'm just going to rip through him. It's just another day at the office as the International Champion."

The International Champion left the set after answering the question because his match was up next. Right before the superstars competing in the main event made their entrances; King Booker made his as he made his way to the announcer's table for a closer look at the match.

Roberts: "This main event contest is scheduled for one fall introducing first, from Washington D.C, weighing in at 290 lbs, the International Champion, Batista!"

I Walk Alone hit as the crowd stood to see Batista's entrance when he appeared on the stage. He activated his pyro as he usually does before walking down to the ring. He signals to the fans in the arena and points to Booker who was sitting intently on his chair along with his queen.

Roberts: "And his opponent, from New York City, weighing in at 290 lbs, John "Bradshaw" Layfield!"

Longhorn sounded and the white limo with bullhorns on the hood began making its way to the side of the ramp before he emerged from the back seat of the vehicle. Layfield walked to the ring intent on making his guarantee successful with a win over Batista.

Non-Title Match:

International Champion Batista vs. John "Bradshaw" Layfield

Batista and Layfield began the match with a collar elbow tie up and Batista backed up the millionaire to a corner. He did back off eventually only to get slapped across the face by Layfield. Batista came back with a shoulder thrust followed by another before doing an Irish whip. He rushes towards Layfield but hits the turnbuckles instead. Layfield hits Batista's back with his forearms thrice before being forced to back up. He then moves him to the ropes for an Irish whip across the ring where he greeted Batista with a shoulder block. He bounced off the ropes and ran into a back body drop from Batista. Batista now kicked Layfield on the midsection before suplexing him to the mat. He attempted the Batista Bomb early as Layfield escaped it and went outside of the ring. Batista tried to pull up Layfield by his head to the apron but gets hung up via the top rope. Layfield comes into the ring and connects with a belly to back suplex on his opponent. He was about to go for another one but turns it into a backbreaker in mid execution. As Batista rolled to the apron for safety as Layfield taunted him at the center of the ring. Layfield now was about to go for a suplex on Batista but he somehow blocked it and attempted to suplex Layfield to the outside which he prevented before knocking Batista down with a hard right hand. JBL now forces Batista to the steel ring post while he was still on the apron, making his back meet the post. Now Batista crawled into the ring while the self proclaimed True American Hero continued taunting him. With his opponent in the ring, JBL could now focus on getting back on the attack with elbow drops to the back before going for a pin which resulted in a 2 count. Layfield picks up Batista and whips him to the corner where he runs at his direction but gets a boot to the face. Batista now downs his opponent with a clothesline and hits another off the ropes. He was about to whip Layfield to the ropes which Layfield reversed with Batista bouncing off the ropes and received a big boot. JBL then executed a swinging neckbreaker on his opponent and goes for another pin but he kicked out at 2. Layfield raised his right arm before running off the ropes for the Clothesline From Hell only to be caught by Batista's spinning side slam. Batista was the first to get to a vertical base and he forces Layfield to the nearest corner for three shoulder thrusts before whipping him across the ring for a clothesline. Once Layfield got to his feet, he was once again taken down with a scoop slam and Batista decided to go to the ropes. He pointed to the No.1 Contender for his title before jumping off for a diving shoulder block. The International Champion went for a powerslam only to have JBL escape behind him and pushed him towards the corner. Once there, he nails him right on the back of the head with his elbow. He continued the attack with continuously landing wild right hands to his face before being forced to back up by the match official. When he tried to continue punching his opponent, Batista hit him with the Spear. Just as he signaled that it was time for the Batista Bomb, King Booker got up from his seat. The Animal challenged Booker to get in the ring to get himself a beating only to have him sit back down. When he turned around however, The Wrestling God knocked him out with the Clothesline From Hell and it went downhill after that as he got pinned.

Roberts: "The winner of the match, John "Bradshaw" Layfield!"

The Longhorn Loudmouth just picked up a big non title win that could probably get him in the ranks of being the next No.1 Contender plus he made his guarantee the truth. One person he could thank is King Booker for providing the match making distraction though he would just claim all of the credit. As Layfield exited the ring, King Booker had stood up and discarded his robe quickly before entering the ring. As Batista stirred to his feet, Booker got a head start before performing the Scissors Kick on the back of his head. The Royal Superstar stood the beaten champion after the match with the crowd booing as the show faded to black.
