OPENING SEGMENT
Jon Moxley heads to the ring holding his newly won Ring Warriors championship, accompanied by Sami Callihan and Johnny Gargano. He says while the championship is worthless, the looks on the faces of all of those fans who saw their little hero lose his precious belt last week... and the dumb chants, the angry faces they make as he parades around with it... now that, that... is priceless.
He then advises everyone in Ring Warriors to take a big gasp, because as of now, TOXIC begins the process of drowning this company, shoving it under and putting it out of its misery. The message will be sent to the rest of the wrestling world by way of the rotting corpse of this organization... do not FUCK with TOXIC!
This leads to some familiar music hitting, as the former theme song for ECW hits and out walks PAUL HEYMAN! Heyman is followed by three men: Alex Shelley, Kenny Omega and Chris Dickinson!
Heyman received chants for a good two minutes before he could talk, such as "WELCOME BACK!", "ECW", and "HEYMAN!"
Heyman then says he felt now was as good a time as any to reveal that he was secretly helping back this wonderful promotion, and he has had to live with the death of one pet project, and will not live to see another project of his go down the drain. He says TOXIC have stepped into a world of pain, as they have now been added onto Paul Heyman's shit list!
He says first thing is first, that little piece of shit Johnny Gargano! He says since he cost Shelley his title, he's going to have to give him a chance to gain another one, and it's going to be the one right there around his waist!
Tonight, Shelley versus Gargano!
Heyman goes on to say that if TOXIC interferes, he's stripping Moxley of his championship, and Dustin Smith has personally guaranteed that Gargano would be stripped as well, so it won't matter. Whatever happens, happens tonight, ladies and gentlemen!! Call our bluffs, boys!
"I dare ya!"
The fans are chanting for Heyman once again.
Chris Dickinson then takes the microphone.
"Listen, I've been with this company, with this group of guys, almost longer than anybody. I don't like them, they don't like me, but this... this is my home. You guys think you can come in here and shit all over everything, take that belt and act like a bunch of hard asses? That's fine, but you're going to have to go through hard ass number one in this company, and you're looking at him!
"Fact of the matter is, I want my rematch with Kyle Matthews. Kenny Omega here, he's been kicking your asses since you first got here. Let's make this interesting. We beat you, that looks pretty good for me getting on the radar for that title shot, Kenny gets to keep up with business as usual, we all win... you guys beat us, well, whatever, then you beat two of the best in the company. Sounds pretty good for you.
"But fuck you, seriously, cause we're going to destroy you twos motherfuckers tonight! You want to talk about drowning this company? How about I send your heads back to Florida in a cardboard box?"
Dickinson winks and smiles as Heyman takes the microphone back.
"If you can't figure that out, I'll make it easier for you: tag team match, Moxley and Callihan take on Dickinson and Omega. And TOXIC... you took our belt, you want to take our home... I hope you, this means WAR!"
The fans are chanting wildly, the atmosphere is unbelievable, as we go into our first match.

SINGLES MATCH
"Brooklyn's Flyest" JTG vs. "Long Island Iced-Z" Zack Ryder
These two are both very colorful characters who the fans could get behind. For all of their colorfulness, however, the gloves really seemed to come off, so to speak, as both men seemed very determined to get a win here. JTG has had his issues with Homicide lately and was looking to take out some frustration, but Ryder, who has yet to earn a meaningful win, was really trying to put down the Brooklyn native, hitting him with both the Zack Attack and Rough Ryder, but JTG was determined, kicking out of the Attack and finding the ropes with his foot after the RR. Ryder would manage to kick out of Da Shout Out and avoid the Belly to Back Suplex to Neckbreaker pretty handily, but JTG would manage to hit Ryder with a version of his own move, coming off the middle rope with a Leg Lariat that smashed Ryder down and kept him down long enough for the three count.
Post-Match:
Both men looked winded as the fans gave them a nice ovation. Ryder extended his hand, rather uncharacteristically, and JTG looked around before accepting. Both men smile, as they head to the back.

TAG TEAM MATCH
Annie Social & "The Princess of Punk" Christina Von Eerie vs. "The Banshee" MsChif & "The Canadian Ninja" Portia Perez
MsChif and Perez have been doing some teaming lately, and had to test their chops against two very capable foes in Social and Von Eerie tonight. While Social and Von Eerie were able to keep their head above water most of the match, it was clear their opponents were just a step ahead and more determined, having a vicious streak about them. MsChif would nail Social with the Desecrator to get the pinfall.

TAG TEAM MATCH
Heavy Artillery: "The Assault Weapon" Brian Carbine & "The Bullet" Ryan Roulette vs. Matt Hurley & Trent Barreta
Carbine and Roulette came out as unknowns looking to make a name against two guys who have been pretty successful in the last few shows and are now teaming for the first time in Hurley and Barreta.
Hurley and Roulette would start things off with some fast paced action, Hurley nailing a Wheelbarrow Armdrag followed by a dropkick to the kneeling "Bullet" as he tried to get to his feet, sending the Rochester native to the outside. Hurley would think about diving out, but Roulette caught him with an inside elbow, followed by a Superkick to the side of the head as he was hung up on the middle rope, sending him back in. Roulette wouldn't waste much time running in and nailing a running Hangman's Noose to the weary Hurley, but only got a two on a pin attempt.
That set the pace for some nice back and forth, as Roulette tagged out and he his partner "The Assault Weapon" went to work, Carbine turning heads by nailing a Huracanrana Driver he calls the Landmine, followed by a The Bombshell, a Diving Double Stomp, but Barreta would break up a pin attempt and come in as the legal man once Hurley's feet hit the outside floor.
Barreta would pick up some quick near falls, but Roulette found his way back in and hooked him in with a big time Brainbuster, but only got the two count. Roulette would make a "shotgun" mime and attempt a move he calls The Boomstick, an Implant DDT, but Barreta would block it and twist out, grabbing Roulette and doing a step ladder off the ropes, nailing a big Spinning DDT, but only a two count thanks to Carbine breaking it up with a Springboard 450 Splash!
That move took a lot out of Carbine, as it seemed to knock the wind out of him. Roulette and Barreta would stagger up. Barreta would nail an Enzuigiri and then in flew Hurley with a move he calls The Nailbomb, flying off the top and planting both knees into the chest of "The Bullet," smashing him to the mat! Hurley would then attempt to catch Carbine with a Corkscrew Roundhouse Kick, but Carbine ducked it and caught him with a Roundhouse Kick to the head, sending Hurley down to a knee. Carbine hurried and grabbed him from behind, flipping him from a Belly to Back into a Bulldog, which he calls the I.E.D., and with great impact!
Hurley rolls out of the ring.
Carbine and Roulette go to the outside and grab chairs, obviously done playing around. They attempt to nail Barreta with a Con-Chair-To as the fans cheer, just wanting to see some violence, but Barreta ducks it and the chairs clash, sending shockwaves through the arms of both men. Barreta nails a Gobstopper to the chair that Roulette is holding, sending him out hard. Carbine, though, smashes Barreta in the gut with his chair and the referee calls for the bell!
Post-Match:
The fans are booing now, as Carbine knocks Hurley off the apron with the chair and then assaults Barreta further. He puts the chair down on the middle of the mat and picks up Barreta, pumphandling his arm and then grabbing him with a half nelson. He then lifts him and drives him down neck first onto the chair with a move he calls the M4! Barreta is out cold!
Roulette and Carbine celebrate, the fans booing, but they don't seem to care at all. They head to the back after that ruthless display, maybe trying to send a message to everyone in Ring Warriors about what to expect when you step into the ring with them.

SIX MAN TAG TEAM MATCH
Corey Mason, "The Tempest" Tommy Hayes, Tony Nese vs. Dragon King, Kappa, Talon
We had ourselves some imports from Japan in tonight, as Independent Union invaded Ring Warriors for a lucha libre influenced best 2 out of 3 falls six man tag team match. What these fans got here was a real treat, as the New York natives of Mason and Nese teamed up with the Pennsylvania native Hayes to take on the threat from the Far East, Mason and Hayes making their Ring Warriors debuts in the process. The stakes couldn't be much higher for these guys, as they received a huge opportunity tonight.
Nese would lead the charge against Talon, trying to use his hard hitting style to try and throw off the quick and agile star, trying to pound him and take him off his feet, but Talon would show Nese a thing or two, catching him with a series of quick takedowns, followed by a Spinning Wheel Kick. Talon then feigned like he was going to fly to the outside, but caught himself on the ropes and whipped himself back around and into the ring, doing a cartwheel and two backflips before posing for the crowd, who gave him a great ovation.
This lead to the most agile and dare devilish of the Americans coming into the ring, as "The Tempest" entered by hopping to the top turnbuckle and then doing a twisting back flip, giving Talon and the fans a little taste of what he is capable of. Talon and Hayes then lock up, trading lightning fast holds, before Talon runs and performs a double rotating satellite into an armdrag. Hayes pops up quick and ducks a clothesline attempt, springboarding off the middle rope and flying backwards grabbing Talon and nailing a twisting Huracanrana that sent the Japanese talent out of the ring. Hayes would then springboard off the middle rope near the closest buckles to Talon, jumping and twisting, springboarding then off the top rope and flying out with a Moonsault Plancha!
The fans are on their feet, as Hayes just showed why he's "The Tempest," causing all the excitement of a tornado in the matter of one minute!
Mason and Dragon King would now enter the ring, and things got somehow even more interesting. King would initially dominate, taking Mason down and applying a wild armlock on the 23 year old out of Buffalo, but Mason would show some poise, having an amateur background and managing to keep his shoulders off the mat as King tried to press him down. Mason would manage to lock up DK in some nice holds of his own to counter, leading both men to get back to their feet.
King would light up Mason with chops and shoot kicks to the chest, backing him into the corner. King then ran across the ring, clapping his hands and getting the fans behind him before springing off the bottom turnbuckle and rushing, jumping and going for a Spinning Avalanche Splash in the corner, but Mason moved and quickly jumped up, grabbing him from behind with both legs and going over the ropes, locking him in a Tarantula Leg Scissors Headlock that he calls the Funnel-Web, which he let go at the count of five.
Tony Nese would come in as Mason dropped to the outside, trying to pick up the pieces with a German Suplex hold, but Kappa would springboard in with a Legdrop to his mid-section to break up the pin. From there, Kappa would hit a Spinning Headscissors, followed by a nice looking Wheelbarrow into a Spinning DDT, followed by a Spiral Tap, but Nese would kick out.
Nese would manage to regain control with some knees, but Dragon King would come back in and nail him with an Enzuigiri. Things have begun to break down now, as King whips Nese into the corner and whips Kappa, but Kappa reverses, whipping DK and King flies in with a massive back elbow. Kappa then tumbles in with a Carthweel Elbow, followed by Talon who tries to come in with a Running Dropkick, but Nese manages to move on that one.
Corey Mason is in and pulls Talon up in the corner, chopping and kneeing him as Nese and Hayes send their opponents out. Nese then flies in and nails a High Double Knee to Talon in the corner. Hayes then runs and does a somersault, popping up and doing a Rolling Thunder attack in the corner to Talon. Mason then runs in and grabs Talon, pulling him closer to the center of the ring and nailing him with a Gator Roll!
Hayes is up top, facing the crowd and makes a "tornado" motion with his index finger, raising and spinning his right arm. He then leaps off and comes crashing down on Talon with a move he calls the Sky Twister Senton! Mason tries for the cover, shoving Hayes out of the way to try and be quick, but the Independent Union crew are already back in and kicking ass!
King ducks a clothesline from Nese and sends him flying out of the ring with a wicked Spinning Heel Kick! He then dropkicks Mason to the side of the head as he tries to pin Talon, breaking that up. Kappa managed to dropkick Hayes out of the ring. King would lift Mason up after that, nailing him with three vicious shoot kicks to the chest, followed by a Rolling Sole Butt to the chest that sent him back into the ropes. He then delivers a big Shotei Palm Strike.
Dragon King grabs Mason from behind, grabbing both of his wrists as he performs a sort of Full Nelson, before nailing a Double Wrist-Clutch Dragon Suplex The fans are all on their feet for that one, as Talon and Kappa try to stand guard and block off their opponents from breaking the pin attempt. They are successful, as Dragon King manages to hold Mason down for the three count!
Post-Match:
Mason, Hayes, and Nese are all very respectful to their opponents tonight, Mason taking a moment to get back to life after taking that brutal suplex, but everyone involved shook hands. The Independent Union guys really looked great here tonight, and the fans got a real treat getting to see this live.

BACKSTAGE SEGMENT
Sara Del Rey begins talking about how her team defeated the Joshi Puro girls last week, and how she is the greatest woman to ever lace up a pair of boots and will be bringing the World Women's title to Ring Warriors! Before she can go much further, though, she is attacked from behind by a big woman with blonde hair, and then just stomped into the ground!
The woman just walks off, leaving Del Rey in a heap, coughing and clutching her ribs.

SINGLES MATCH
Paul London vs. Spanky
After the previous match, the fans were pretty burned out, but they were pretty into this match between the former tag team partners. London would show an aggressive streak, really trying to punish Spanky for his transgressions. In the end, it was the American Dragon who would come down and cause a distraction as Spanky would head up top. Spanky would hop down and try to attack Dragon, but Dragon hopped down. London would catch Spanky with a quick Huracanrana, holding tight and getting the pinfall victory!
Post-Match:
Dragon would come in and try to attack both men with a chair, but London would duck it and catch Dragon with a Dropsault into the chair. London wasn't done, however, as he grabbed the chair and headed up top. He then flew off and smashed Dragon over the head with it, nailing him with a sickening thud! Dragon completely out, twitching on the mat!
Brad Maddox would try to revive his client, but eventually EMTs had to come out and carry him off with a stretcher, putting a brace around his neck. He did not look to be okay after that, but London didn't seem to care, as Spanky just kind of watched from the outside, examining the situation after that tough loss.

TAG TEAM MATCH
"The Death Machine" Chris Dickinson & Kenny Omega vs. Jon Moxley & Sami Callihan
Moxley and Callihan tried to be as dirty as they could, but Dickinson and Omega both showed wicked mean streaks in this match, which was expected from Dickinson, but Omega has not showed this kind of dirty, violent streak yet in Ring Warriors. This was just a tooth and nail, all out brawl, which was eventually ended when Kenny Omega actually got the pinfall for Moxley, nailing him with a brutal HADOUKEN! as he was kneeling.
Post-Match:
Dickinson and Callihan would brawl viciously on the outside like two rabid animals, causing security to come out and break it up.

RING WARRIORS TELEVISION TITLE
TRIANGLE MATCH
"A-Double" Austin Aries vs. "The Notorious 187" Homicide w/ Shelly Martinez vs. Tyler Black
This match was very hard hitting, as Homicide really pushed the pace, trying to use his experience and skills to overcome his opponents early on, but, as everyone knows, Aries and Black are both exceptionally talented and were able to withstand his quick offensive flurries and turn the tides. The chaos in this match spilled to the outside for a good bit of it, as every man got their chance to fly, getting the fans very hyped up.
Black accidentally catch Martinez with a Superkick on the floor thanks to "A-Double," who pulled her in the way of it in a desperate attempt to not get hit himself. Black found himself kind of shocked by this, which opened him up for Aries to kick him between the legs and send him into the crowd. Homicide would rush outside to check on his valet, but Aries would catch him with a dropkick that sent him face first into the turnpost!
Aries would roll Homicide inside and ascend, coming off with a picture perfect 450 Splash and was able to get the pinfall victory, winning the championship! What a slimey bastard, but damn was he effective tonight, leaving with the gold in a turn that many probably did not see coming!

BACKSTAGE SEGMENT
Todd Grisham tries to get a word with William Regal before his match with Kurt Angle, but Regal shoves him out of the way, looking like he's ready to murder someone, blood lust filling his eyes tonight.
_________________________________________
SINGLES MATCH
Kurt Angle w/ Zeb Colter vs. William Regal
These two have bad blood after some physical altercations stemming from Angle's gloating about injuring Chris Hero, whom Regal had a hand in training and has tried to help in the business. Both Angle and Regal came into this thinking they had something to prove, as both have not been seen as serious competitors for quite some time, Angle trying desperately to cling to his career and legitimacy, enlisting the help of a guy like Zeb Colter to try and champion him, while Regal has been a commentator for some time now, but still has fight in him and wants to prove he can still go with the best of them, Angle being considered one of the best of all-time.
The match would start with some very rough, powerful grappling, as both men tried to over power the other, Angle seemingly getting the better of it, but Regal was able to go into his bag of tricks to take Angle down, attacking the hand he tried to break last week and viciously pin pointing it, trying to break and bite the fingers like a wild animal. Angle looks shaken, but tries to get vicious with knees and closed fists, using the MMA training he's acquired to try and overcome the catch-as-catch-can savvy of the old, cagey Brit, but Regal shows he can hold his own in a scrap and the fans get the best of it, seeing two of the best of all-time just putting on a raw, gritty performance and trying to go for blood and broken bones.
Zeb Colter would try to get involved, but this would lead CHRIS HERO to make his way from the back, using a crutch, which he would use as a weapon, smashing Colter in the back with it! The ref would get bumped after Angle ducked a clothesline attempt from Regal, leading Angle to hit the Angle Slam! Angle would then go out and try to attack Hero, tackling him to the ground, but Hero would fight him off and smash the crutch over his head, breaking it into pieces!
Hero would toss Angle into the ring, which lead Regal to run and connect with his Knee Trembler to the side of Angle's head. Regal would then lock him up in the Regal Stretch for good measure, the referee coming to in time to see Angle tapping out! William Regal has done it!
Post-Match:
Chris Hero gets in the ring, shaking the hand of Regal and thanking him. Hero raises Regal's hand as the fans cheer, before pulling him in and NAILING HIM WITH A ROLLING ELBOW!
WHAT THE HELL!
Joey Styles is yelling and going crazy, as Hero just looks down with cold eyes, the fans booing wildly. Why in the Hell would Chris Hero attack William Regal after he defended his honor!?

NWA WORLD TAG TEAM TITLES
TAG TEAM MATCH
Future Shock: "The Panama City Playboy" Adam Cole & Kyle O'Reilly vs. The Pandemic: Cyborg & Reeves
Cameron Mitchell and Darren Reeves have shortened their names here, and look even more cohesive and intimidating coming into this match, as they prepare for the biggest match of their careers against the World Tag Team Champions. Future Shock came out with Adam Cole looking very confident and cocky, not seeming to take this very seriously, while O'Reilly happened to look rather annoyed with his partner and didn't show much emotion besides that, not seeming to really recognize the challenge they faced in front of them.
Though they didn't realize to start, it became clear what kind of challenge they faced early on, as The Pandemic took tag team wrestling to another level. Cyborg would grab Reeves, picking him up over his head and launching him as Adam Cole before the bell even rang, running a Spearing O'Reilly into the corner as the match started, coming on with a brutal attack.
Cyborg would manage to get a couple of near falls on O'Reilly to start before O'Reilly would catch him in a quick armbar attempt to try and turn the tides. Cyborg would get to the ropes, leading O'Reilly to let go and begin a striking assault. Cyborg would eat a number of strikes before rushing, grabbing O'Reilly by the throat and delivering a massive Sit-Out Chokeslam, followed by a Lariat! Reeves would run in and run at Cyborg, flipping up his body into a Powerbomb position before Cyborg powerbombed Reeves right on top of O'Reilly, crushing the Canadian star!
Adam Cole would come in and attack Cyborg from behind, nailing him with a Superkick to stagger him, but Reeves would catch Cole with a Dropkick into the turnbuckles, followed by a High Knee in the corner. Reeves would go to the middle turnbuckle as Cole stumbled away from the buckles. "The Panama City Playboy" turns and gets caught with a Blockbuster variation Reeves calls The Overthrow!
Cole rolls out of the ring, not wanting anymore of that.
O'Reilly is back up, though, and catches Reeves with a High Angle Saito Suplex, crushing the back of the Raliegh, North Carolina natives' head. Cyborg is back up and O'Reilly manages to duck an on coming Lariat from him, catching him with a strike flurry before trying to take him down with a Guillotine Choke, but Cyborg uses his brute strength to smash O'Reilly into the buckles and pull him up into a Spinning Powerbomb that sends O'Reilly rolling and holding his back on the mat. Adam Cole is back up on the apron, though, and he springboards in, catching Cyborg with a Crossbody that takes him down, but only for a one count!
The referee has lost all control, and is just trying to count a fall now.
Reeves is able to catch Cole with a Shining Wizard to the chest as he is getting up from that pin attempt. He then picks up Cole and nails him with a Death Valley Driver, attempting the cover, but O'Reilly grabs him by the leg and drags him off of his partner, locking on a tight Ankle Lock with a grapevine! Reeves looks like he is in trouble, but Cyborg is back up after shaking off the cobwebs stomps O'Reilly right across the face, breaking up the hold!
Cyborg continues stomping brutally, before picking up O'Reilly and drilling him with a Running Knee in the corner, followed by a big Gutwrench Suplex! Cyborg calls for him to get up, looking for the SpearBuster, but Adam Cole manages to hop up mid-move and catch Cyborg to the side of the head with a Superkick before he can connect with O'Reilly in an amazing sequence!
Cyborg appears to be knocked out cold from that impact.
Reeves is up, though, and he catches O'Reilly and Cole with a Double Single Leg Dropkicks to their chests, sending both men back against the ropes. Cole stumbles forward and Reeves takes him over with a Huracanrana, before rushing and clotheslining O'Reilly to the outside of the ring! Reeves is all fired up, the fans behind him, as he grabs Cole and picks him up in a Reverse Suplex, dropping him between his legs with a Driver and hooking a leg, completely a move he calls the Zeitgeist!
The referee counts, but only a two!
Reeves can't believe it, feeling he was just that close, but no matter. He calls for the end and attempts to hit a move he calls The Devolver, lifting Cole up onto his shoulder into a Canadian Backbreaker position, but Cole slides off his back, sunset flipping him and rolling him up. Cole grabs the middle rope for leverage... and he got it!
Adam Cole saves the World Tag Team titles for his team, but he does it in a very cheap way!
Post-Match:
Cole rolls out of the ring and grabs the titles quickly, trying to yell at O'Reilly to move. I think he has had enough of trying to deal with the Pandemic, which is probably smart, as Reeves looks extremely pissed off and on the point of a mental breakdown. That's probably not good...

NWA WORLD JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE
SINGLES MATCH
Alex Shelley vs. Johnny Gargano (c)
The fans were going absolutely wild here, as they could feel the winds of change in the air. Shelley seemed to have Gargano's number, as Gargano would try to be aggressive and on the attack, feeling the threat to his title in a big way, but he just could not keep down Shelley. He just didn't have an answer for the fast paced, brilliant technical attack of the former "Motor City Machine Gun."
Shelley just looked so determined, knowing that TOXIC could not get involved tonight, knowing that Moxley would not risk his own championship to save Gargano's. In the end, Shelley would add the ultimate insult to injury, hitting Gargano with his own Hurts Donut to set up the Border City Stretch. Gargano would tap out, and Shelley finally... FINALLY ended the reign of Johnny Gargano!
Post-Match:
The entire locker room spills out, as the fans celebrate and Shelley is hoisted up on the shoulders of the other wrestlers, having finally relinquished the championship from Gargano's grasp and from the ranks of TOXIC! What a great moment, as Gargano left, sulking into obscurity to try and figure out where it all went wrong.
