The pyro goes off inside Tropicana Field and NWA South Beach Champion Christopher Daniels is backstage talking with Frankie Kazarian.
Daniels: Hey Kaz, let's get a few things straight: I know who you are. You're Suicide! I just remembered you being the man under the mask when he first made his appearance in Orlando a few years ago. So I'm going to go to the ring tonight, you're going to come out and admit you're Suicide, and then we'll fight. Hey who knows, if you put on a good showing I might let you have a shot at this *pats the belt* pretty thing one day. See ya out there Suicide.
Daniels walks off as Kaz looks confused. The pyro goes off and we head to the ring for our first match.
Match Number 1: Uhaa Nation vs. Stevie Richards
Stevie makes the same mistake that Jimmy Jacobs did two weeks ago and tries to go toe with the one man nation instead of picking a weak spot. An All Out Assault and three count later and this one is over.
Winner: Uhaa Nation
Uhaa grabs a mic and it appears that he has something to say.
Uhaa: MOXLEY! It has only been two weeks and I am sick and tired of you guys running around with these hitman tactics. I know that you're in the building, and before the night is over I. WILL. FIND. YOU!
Uhaa goes to the back as the announcers wonder what wrath TOXIC has brought upon them.
Match number 2: PAC and Amazing Red vs. Rey Bucanero y El Terrible (James Storm and Matt Sydal are guest enforcers)
This match was fought in the air as all four men pulled out all the stops to prove that they deserve a shot at the NWA South Beach Tag Titles. This match closely resembles a pure lucha match as there really aren't even tags between the teams. Late in the match after a near fall by Bucanero on Red, Kenny King and Rhett Titus come down with mics in hand.
ANX: Hey Storm and Sydal! What the hell was up with that shit two weeks ago? Yall come down to chase off these spicks and then lay us the fuck out? Well you know, paybacks a bitch, and we're gonna start getting ours back right now!
While ANX and FWI battle at ringside and the referee is distracted Dragon Rojo and Ultimo Guerrero come through the crowd and attack PAC and Red! Red gets a sitout powerbomb from Rojo while PAC gets a Guerrero Special! Rojo y Guerrero leave the ring while ANX and FWI battle to the back. Terrible covers PAC and gets the three count.
Winners: El Terrible y Rey Bucanero
After draping Mexican flags on International Airborne all four members from NWA Mexico hold their hands high as the crowd boos and the announcers wonder what in God's name is going on with the tag team scene.
Uhaa Nation is in the back and sees Jon Moxley standing at the end of a corridor.
Moxley: You looking for me Uhaa? I'm right here....all ya gotta do is catch me.
Moxley takes off with Uhaa in hot pursuit. Moxley and Nation turn a corner and Jimmy Jacobs comes from behind Nation and chop-blocks Uhaa! Jacobs takes a chair from nearby and nails Nation in the back, grabs his head and hits a snap DDT on the floor, keeps the hold and locks in End Time! Jacobs has a demented gleam in his eye as Nation passes out. Jacobs keeps End Time locked in until Moxley comes flying in...Boma Ye! TOXIC comes pouring out of nowhere and keeps up the assault until CM Punk, Roderick Strong, and Michael Elgin come in and chase them off. Strong and Elgin yell for paramedics as Punk stares ahead with a dangerous look in his eye.
Match Number 3: Christopher Daniels vs. Kazarian
Daniels comes out first telling the crowd that they will finally see their hero brought back to earth. Kaz comes out next and he's wearing his normal ring gear. Daniels asks Kaz why he didn't come out as Suicide. Kaz vehemently says that he is not the one portraying Suicide and gets shoved for his trouble. Kaz shoves back as the bell rings and both men start unloading with rights to each others' head. Daniels and Kazarian know each other so well and it shows as they seem to know what the other is going to do four moves before the other makes it. Kazarian manages to go up top and hit a Flux Capacitor for a near fall. Daniels tries for Last Rites but Kaz breaks out and hits the DOA! THAT'S SUICIDE'S FINISHER! Ray and Devon come down to ringside as the crowd chants for Suicide. Kaz covers and gets a near fall. Devon gets on the apron and distracts the ref as Ray enters the ring and low blows Kaz. Daniels hits a big delayed vertical suplex and floats over for a close two count.
Daniels picks up Kaz and sets him up for Angel's Wings when Suicide's music abruptly starts playing! Daniels releases Kaz and starts looking around for The Dark Savior and Kaz rolls Daniels up for a three count as Steen comes out carrying a boom box! Suicide was never here and Steen was the man behind the music!
Winner: Kazarian
Steen: Man Chris, you'll get spooked by anything these days won't you? *laughs* So you still haven't found Suicide yet, but you're doing a good job of making people's lives a living hell in the process. First Kyle O'Reilly from NWA Extreme, then Lethal on his first night here, you ambush Prince Devitt up in Pennsylvania, and then follow it up by taking out Delirious in Cleveland; ALL without putting that belt you won at Christmas Chaos on the line while simultaneously racking up a travel budget that's normally reserved for government employees. So I have an idea; Super Dragon and I will team up next week against you and Kazarian, since I'm betting that you STILL think he's Suicide. If we win, whoever pins you gets a shot at the South Beach title in a Fight Without Honor at the next supershow. If you guys win, you name your own challenger at the show. The fans are getting tired of having a champion who is scared of the dark, so it's time to put up or shut up. You in Daniels, or has JBL pawned your balls to pay for all your travel?
Daniels and Kazarian look tentatively at each other before nodding as Steen stands on the ramp smirking.
Match Number 4: Bully Ray and Devon vs "The Swagger Hounds" Rich Swann and Sonjay Dutt:
The Dudleys come out first with Bully Ray, who has a mic, wearing a Phillies jersey and Devon wearing a Yankees jersey. The crowd boos mercilessly.
Bully: Hey Devon, can you believe who we're supposed to be facing tonight? This team calls themselves the swaggah hounds.....what the hell is a swaggah hound? Hey Sonjay, get off the phone helping my brother Spike with tech support and listen real close. Devon and I had swag when your biggest piece of bling was your momma's titty. We invented swag, we got so much swag that these pieces of shit in the crowd want to kill themselves because they know they will never have this much swag. Now get out here so that Devon and I can give you hounds a beating worthy of an intervention by those stupid fucks at PETA. Devon, you got anything to add?
Devon: OH MY BROTHA! TESTIFY!
The Swagger Hounds hit the ring and start brawling with Bully and Devon, who seem taken aback by the energy from their considerably smaller challengers. Surprisingly this match was very back and forth with Sonjay Dutt ALMOST pulling off the upset by hitting a Calcutta Cutta on Devon for a near fall. Swann would get the tag and hit a Chicken Fried Driver into a pin that Bully Ray broke up. Ray would then make the call to the back.....for Luke Gallows! The Outlaw himself has come to South Beach and delivers a 12th Step to Swann which causes the ref to call for the bell as the crowd boos.
Winners (by DQ): The Swagger Hounds
Gallows and The Dudleys continue beating down Swann and Dutt when Richie Steamboat comes down with a chair! Steamboat goes up to the top, throws the chair into the hands of Gallows and hits a missile dropkick! The faces clear the heels out of the ring and celebrate as the crowd cheers.
Punk is backstage with The Unbreakable Team and all three men look FURIOUS!
Punk: MOXLEY! You and your band of scumbags finally crossed the line tonight! You just put one of the best young wrestlers in the business today out indefinetely with a severe concussion all because he had the guts to stand up to you! I have made it no secret during my wrestling career that I am Straight Edge, and while I may no longer preach to the masses about the virtues of being drug and alcohol free; *points to Strong and Elgin* these two men and I agree that the NWA needs a cleansing. Starting now; Strong, Elgin and I begin to cleanse the NWA of every POISON and every bit of anything that is TOXIC. *camera zooms in to where Punk's face is the only thing in the screen. Jon, you better pray to whatever god you believe in that you get rid of us before Uhaa comes back; because if he does, you will feel the full wrath of this Straight Edge NATION!
While the cage is being set up around the ring, we go backstage with Joseph Park who has both combatants in the cage match: Adam Cole and Dolph Ziggler, with him.
Park: Gentlemen first of all thank you for joining me. You two will be going to battle shortly inside a steel cage to determine who moves on in the North American Title Tournament. After what some people are calling a five star classic two weeks ago, how are the two of you planning on topping that? Mr. Cole you have the floor first
Cole: Joe, while I cannot speak for my opponent, I would like to start off by saying that it was a great pleasure to step in the ring with someone like Dolph Ziggler. Like everyone else in the NWA I strive to be the best worker I can, and the only way for me to do that is to keep facing the best competition around. *turns to Ziggler* Dolph, we beat the hell out of each other at Venom Spreads but got cheated out finding out who the better man was. Tonight, I look forward to seeing who that is. *sticks out his hand* May the best man win.
Ziggler: *slaps hand away* Are you kidding me Adam? Everyone saw who the better man was two weeks ago, and it sure as hell wasn't you. I took your best shots and you still couldn't keep me down for a three count, you couldn't make me submit, simply put; you couldn't get the job done. I had you in the sleeper and you were out cold before TOXIC came and gave you the mother of all bailouts. This match should not be happening tonight, but since it is, I look forward to proving what everyone else in the NWA already knows: that I am THE fastest rising star in the NWA and the only person that is capable of carrying ANYBODY to the best match of their career. Tonight it's not about the theatrics, it's about turning YOUR show.....off.
Main Event: "The Natural" Dolph Ziggler vs. Adam Cole (Steel cage match to determine who advances in the NWA North American Title Tournament)
Formal ring introductions are made and Cole looks more focused after being dressed down by his opponent minutes ago. Collar and elbow tie up starts the match and Ziggler grabs a headlock, gets pushed into the ropes, ducks a leapfrog from Cole and instead of continuing momentum; stops and delivers a blistering slap to the side of Cole's face. Striker points out that Ziggler is an expert at getting under his opponent's skin and that Cole needs to be careful not to lose his temper. Cole tries to shake off the frustration and grabs Ziggler in a headlock. Ziggler tries for a side suplex bit Cole flips out and lands a slap of his own to the face of Ziggler who looks stunned that Cole would have the temerity to commit such an audacious act. Both men lock up again and Ziggler manages to get behind Cole and lands a standard amateur wrestling take down before flipping him over and locking in an armbar. Cole brings his legs over and manages to lock in a head scissors, breaking the hold, but Ziggler pushes off. Both men try for dropkicks, miss, and we have a stalemate as the crowd cheers. Both men get up and circle each other, trying to get their bearings and look for a crack in the armor of their adversary. They lock up again with Cole gaining the upper hand with a kick to the gut. Cole tries for the Panama's Sunrise and hits! Cole for a quick cover...one.....two....and Ziggler kicks out at two and a half. Ziggler tries to create a little space but Cole presses his advantage, smelling victory early. Cole starts laying in punches and kicks to Dolph in the corner, has him dazed and hits an enzugiri! Cole thinks about the cover but decides to slap on a figure four! Ziggler is screaming in pain as the crowd chants for Ziggler to tap. Ziggler starts struggling to turn it over and eventually does, causing Adam to break the hold. The Panama City Playboy goes back after Ziggler and sets him on the top turnbuckle facing the cage. Cole signals for the Florida Key!
*McMichael: If he hits the Key from this height he won't just have the key to the state of Florida Matt, he'll have the key to the entire southeast!*
*Matt: Really Mongo? Really?*
Cole goes up to the second rope, stands Ziggler up, and straight-jackets the arms. As Cole goes to hit the Key Ziggler pushes himself off the top a little harder and floats over, breaking the hold on his arms, allowing him to hit a Zig Zag! Ziggler quickly covers! One.......Two.....and a kick out! Ziggler looks absolutely stunned! Ziggler starts laying in elbow drop after elbow drop on Cole finishing by smoothing back his hair and jumping for the last one. Ziggler covers again but Cole kicks out at two and two thirds! Cole gets stood up and Ziggler goes for the super kick but misses! Cole ducks and grabs the legs which wheelbarrows Ziggler, lifts him up and hits a double knee back breaker! Cover! ONE! TWO........NO! Ziggler kicks out! Cole starts screaming at the ref about a slow count, he covers Ziggler again and begs the ref to count "normally". One...Twooooooooo......No! Ziggler kicks out at two and nine tenths! Cole comes very close to assaulting the official, with the distraction allowing Ziggler to crawl over and hit a low blow on Cole! Ziggler then hits a Fame-asser! He covers but Cole kicks out at two and three quarters!
Ziggler: STAY DOWN! WHY WON'T YOU STAY DOWN! *stomps to the body* YOU CANNOT BEAT ME!
Ziggler stands Cole up and hits a super kick! He thinks about the cover but instead goes up top and signals for a flying elbow! Cole hits the ropes out of desperation and Ziggler crotches himself before falling to the mat. Cole starts climbing slowly up the side of the cage as the fans are on their feet cheering. Cole is about halfway up the cage when Ziggler starts stirring. Ziggler goes back up to the top turnbuckle as Cole loses his footing a bit and the roar of the crowd reaches a deafening pitch! Cole is almost at the top when Ziggler starts walking the rope and jumps! Ziggler grabs Cole's head.....ZIG ZAG FROM DAMN NEAR THE TOP OF THE CAGE! The crowd starts chanting "Holy S***" at the top of their lungs as both men look like they've been in a horrible car wreck. Ziggler is the first to move and he crawls over to Cole who looked like he damn near broke his neck on the fall. Ziggler throws and arm over Cole.....ONE......TWO......THREE!
Winner: Dolph Ziggler
The crowd gives both men a standing ovation. The effort that Ziggler exerted to make the cover appears to have sapped all of his energy. Madness ends with both competitors passed out in the middle of the ring and the crowd still applauding.
Daniels: Hey Kaz, let's get a few things straight: I know who you are. You're Suicide! I just remembered you being the man under the mask when he first made his appearance in Orlando a few years ago. So I'm going to go to the ring tonight, you're going to come out and admit you're Suicide, and then we'll fight. Hey who knows, if you put on a good showing I might let you have a shot at this *pats the belt* pretty thing one day. See ya out there Suicide.
