IN-RING SEGMENT
The show begins with Kyle Matthews, the current World Heavyweight champion, making his way to the ring, lead by Dan Maff, who is holding his Hybrid Pro championship over his shoulder. The Prophecy members are greeted with mostly boos as they enter the ring, Matthews grabbing a mic as he does so.
Matthews goes on to say that he doesn't just make appearances in garage sized arenas like this for no reason. No, tonight, a tournament is going to be held and the winner is going to be getting a shot at his championship... naturally, he wanted to get a first hand look at who he was going to be facing.
Would it be Jon Moxley, the champion of Ring Warriors? The leader of the sad, failing group known as TOXIC?
Would it be maybe Austin Aries or Homicide, the other, lower champions around here... would those underdogs have their day?
Maybe the man he beat not so long ago in Chris Dickinson? Would he be put in a position to tap out once again to Kyle Matthews' supreme wrestling prowess?
It really doesn't matter who it is, because no matter what, "The Antichrist" has risen and nobody... nobody is going to stop him!
This leads Jon Moxley to make his way to the stage accompanied by Bobby Fish now, one of the members of his TOXIC stable. Moxley is holding his championship over his shoulder, the title facing behind him, as he has no respect for the title. The fans aren't giving him a great reaction, but it is better than Matthews.
Moxley says that Matthews had better breathe deep and hold the air, because his championship reign is taking its final breaths very soon. He says Matthews has become desperate, which makes him interesting, but the interest is going to wane and there's not going to be any way to hide what he really is, and that is a coward, and a man terribly beyond his depth, desperate to stay above water but fated to drown; it'll be the hand of Jon Moxley that holds him under water, though, and finishes him off, and it'll be the hand of Jon Moxley that raises that championship when it is all said and done!
Matthews goes on to say that if he thinks he can take it so easily, maybe he and his boy Fish should make their way down and see if they can make good on that promise!
The crowd erupts now, thinking there is going to be a fight, but no. No, they are cut off as Moxley and Fish make it about half way, and out walks Paul Heyman, accompanied by Alex Shelley and Chris Dickinson!
Heyman has the mic, and goes on to lay down some law.
"As much as I'd truly enjoy watching you miscreants tear each other apart, I'd really love to see this show get on the road, because tonight, as you pointed out, is an important one. It's the night that Ring Warriors make the first strides to collecting even more gold, even more prestigious gold, and nothing is going to derail this evening! You see, we currently are in possession of the World Junior Heavyweight title, which Alex Shelley accomplished by defeating a member of your precious little TOXIC, Moxley... and now, it's come time to bring down another paper empire in The Prophecy. You see, when Paul Heyman backs a guy, shockwaves are sent through the world of wrestling, and I back these two gentlemen standing with me as the real deal in this sport, unlike you four goons or the idiots like you that inhabit the various territories in this, our "beloved" alliance. While you have your dreams of grandeur, however, we have battle plans drawn in brick and mortar, and we are prepared, gentlemen, for a war you simply cannot win."
The fans are stirring now, cheering on Heyman as Alex Shelley takes the microphone.
Shelley goes on to say, "And boys, it's really quite sweet that you all have gathered here and think so fondly of us. You've come from far and wide, and you try to take up our air time, our ring time, and you want to settle your differences, but here's the thing: nobody cares about any of you. Jon Moxley, you've cheated your way into holding that belt time and time again... you want to talk about Kyle Matthews being a phony, but yet you can't even be bothered phone in a decent performance. You just... how can I put this... suck ass, and everybody can see it. All the word play and slicked back haircuts in the world couldn't gloss over the fact that you can't hold a candle to even the worst wrestlers here in Ring Warriors, and sooner rather than later, that belt you stole from me will be in the hands of a much more worthy champion. I, on the other hand, have my own little problem coming up, stemming from your home, Kyle, a man by the name of Paul London. Paul London is a guy who, like you, has had to resort to using chairs and other props to hold himself up, refusing to accept that he is past it, he is done, and the world of wrestling has moved past him. He wants to take this title tonight, but the fact is, it's not going anywhere, and as a matter of fact, we're just going to be collecting more gold, so all of you... all of you in the wrestling world, wherever you may be, if you can hear me, just accept it, guys. It's already happening."
Matthews and Moxley both try to storm in with comments, but they are cut off by Chris Dickinson.
"Ladies, know your roles and shut your face pussies before I shove my foot in 'em! I am one of the last ones here who have been with this company, this brand, this whole grand idea, hung in with this group since the very first show. Back in Cleveland, we all had that piss and vinegar, we were going to take over the world. We were going to show the world how it's done, but as fate would have it, money, power, politics, all of that bullshit, it stepped in and tried to knock us our asses, but then guys like Paul Heyman, guys with vision, guys who wanted to make a difference and saw the future of this business, they stepped in and brought us up from the ashes, and we have risen! Matthews, I'm not going to blow smoke up your ass, I know what you can do, and we've gone toe to toe, but the fact is, this business... it's all about resilience, and tonight, you all find out just how fuckin' resilient I am. You see, I'm done being fed the bullshit of the past, I'm done with the lies, I'm done with the games, and now... now 'The Death Machine' is stacking up bodies faster than ever, and you all have an open invitation to the mass mutilation! And if that's too subtle for your bitch ass, Matthews, and if you're too dense to get that through your skull, Moxley, I'll spell it out for you.
"Tonight, I'm breakin' necks and getting my title shot. Come June 16th, at Sacrifice, I'm kickin' your teeth out and skull fuckin' you until your beggin' me to leave with your belt... but not only do I want to take your belt, but because of all the bullshit you've been talkin', all shit you've everybody through, I'm more lookin' forward to makin' you my bitch!"
Chris Dickinson throws down the microphone and looks to be pretty insane, yelling and wagging his tongue as the fans cheer on his psychotic filthiness... even kind of gayness, but it's prison style gayness so that's... well, we have Fandango wrestling later, so none of that will stand as the gayest part of this show.
We head to the next segment...

SINGLES MATCH
Jinder Mahal vs. Michael "Thunder" Tarver
Tarver would manage to overcome the Indian-Canadian star's vicious and methodical attack, using his skilled striking and impact repertoire to keep the momentum shifting. Tarver would end the match by utilizing his knockout Thunder Punch right to the jaw of Mahal, earning a three count victory.

BACKSTAGE SEGMENT
Austin Aries is backstage with Todd Grisham, trying to belittle this whole tournament and Homicide for attacking him last week, calling him pathetic and that he should know when he is beaten and just stay down.
Before the interview can conclude, Homicide runs in with Shelly Martinez following shortly behind. Homicide pummels Aries, inciting an impromptu brawl between the two as Martinez yells derogatory remarks at Aries.
The two manage to shove off security and fight a good bit through the backstage area before actually making it outside! Aries looks to attempt a Brainbuster on the sidewalk outside as on lookers and fans alike gawk at what is happening, but Homicide blocks it and low blows Aries before planting him with a DDT on the concrete!
Aries is down and busted open as security finally manages to wrangle Homicide and break up the encounter, but the damage is already done! Both men look pretty beaten down, but the Television champion is much worse for ware and you have to wonder how this is going to effect the contendership tournament.

NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE CONTENDERSHIP TOURNAMENT
TRIANGLE MATCH
Curt Hawkins vs. Delirious vs. Jon Moxley
Delirious looked a lot more vicious and demented than usual; losing the No Limits title has seemed to affect him in a way that has caused a very violent streak to come up in him, and it actually made for the match being that much more intense. Curt Hawkins would actually get the most near falls, though, while Moxley wisely and, as some might view it, cowardly tried to keep out of harm's way as much as possible, the Ring Warriors championship realizing that he would have to fight again in the night and didn't want to wear himself down too much.
Moxley would inevitably take a great deal of damage near the end, as Delirious and Hawkins both tried frantically to pick up the win. Moxley would get sent to the outside with a big clothesline from Hawkins over the ropes, which Hawkins caught himself, and from there he would lay in wait. Delirious would try to nail Hawkins with the In Vitro Fertilization minutes later, but Hawkins would escape, nailing him with a thrust kick to the gut followed by a Hangman's Facebuster, but Moxley would slide in and drill Hawkins to the temple of his skull with a Knee Strike!
Moxley makes the cover and it's all over! He's headed to the final match in this tournament.

BACKSTAGE
William Regal, who is normally at the announcer's table, has been disturbed by the actions of Chris Hero. He says he was only trying to defend Hero's honor, a kid he has seen so much promise in over the years and helped mold, but as it were, he has now decided to rebel against him.
For all he has tried to give him, wanting something better for him, Hero now has decided he doesn't need Regal... doesn't need guidance. He wants to be his own man. Regal says that's all good and fine, except he made the mistake of trashing Regal.
Regal says he has overcome so much in his life and in his career, and has tried to become a better man. The fact is, though, in his life now, he is only acting as a better man. The truth is, in his life, to truly be himself, he must act as himself... and William Regal, the man, is nothing more than a vile, sinister villain... and a man who does not take kindly to such disrespect.
Chris Hero wants to be a man, to stand on his own, and so now... now Regal has no choice. He must raise his hands to a man he once thought of like family; he must bring himself to destroy a man who he truly cared for... he'd like to think it'd be for his own good, but Regal says he knows the beating waiting for Chris Hero may very well be the end of his young career, and the fight may very well be Regal's last, but, it doesn't really matter.
Sometimes that's what it means to be a man, facing the fire of Hell and making it to the other side. Regal has done that in his life... but will Chris Hero be able to do the same?

SINGLES MATCH
Corey Graves vs. Drew McIntyre
Both of these men have a definite air of confidence in them, and it was McIntyre early who had a lot to be confident about, bulling over Graves and getting in a couple of pinfall attempts. Graves, however, is tenacious and cunning, taking advantage of some over zealous missteps from the Scottish star and using them to his advantage as he works over the leg.
Graves would apply multiple different leg locks, trying to wear down the appendage and make McIntyre suffer. McIntyre would eventually fight his way back and hit a Fireman's Carry Gutbuster, but only earned a two. McIntyre would then go for his Snap Butterfly DDT, but Graves would break free, rolling McIntyre right into his 13th Step leglock, slicing the calf with the hold and causing McIntyre to be in excruciating pain, leading to the tap out victory!
The fans seemed to be mixed on this, as they weren't terribly into this match, but it had its moments of excitement. Neither man really set themselves apart, though the potential is certainly there.

BACKSTAGE SEGMENT
Bryan Danielson is backstage with Todd Grisham. Grisham says that it seemed the American Dragon was suffering some memory loss at the hospital, and was wondering if Danielson had recovered anything in that time.
Danielson says he has been able to recall some things, and he has watched some footage from the past months, and he sees that he'd been dealing with a lot of frustration, was having a lot of delusions caused by stress, he thinks, and was taking some bad advice because he wanted to advance his career.
Grisham asks him what his plans are now that he's had this time to reflect on things, and asks how he is feeling now and when he feels he might return to competition.
Danielson says that while he feels he'd been headed in the wrong direction, he also still holds his convictions of Paul London and believes he has wronged him and is nothing but a menace to professional wrestling. He says he has no honor and has no redeeming qualities, and he hopes to return to the ring soon to pay him back for what he did. He says in a weird way, though, he thanks Paul, because he might have knocked him back to reality. However, it's Paul now who has a very grim reality ahead, because he's about to get the beating of his life, courtesy of "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson!
Todd Grisham points out that London is competing for the World Junior Heavyweight title tonight, a match he is sure Danielson will be watching. He asks if Danielson has any aspirations to claim that title himself.
Danielson says Alex Shelley is a Hell of a competitor, and he will definitely be watching the match, but he isn't sure what to aim for just yet, but... maybe that sounds like it could be fun.
Danielson gives a coy smile as we head to the next segment.

NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE CONTENDERSHIP TOURNAMENT
TRIANGLE MATCH
"A-Double" Austin Aries vs. Kenny Omega vs. Trent Barreta
Aries music plays through twice before Omega and Barreta decide to simply start the match without him. Omega shows more vicious, heelish tendencies than he has previously, maybe taking a more aggressive approach since he has fallen short in every big match he has been in and has decided something has to change. Barreta, on the other hand, has used his work ethic and never say die attitude to overcome many foes in recent weeks, and the fans were behind him pretty solidly.
Aries would eventually manage his way out, a bandage over his forehead after both men were down from a Superplex by Omega. Aries would try to pin Barreta coming in, but would only get a two count. Aries would then try for a Brainbuster, desperate for this to end after that brawl with Homicide took its toll on him and knowing he'd have to wrestle again later, but Barreta actually knees him right to the bandage to break up the move, which causes blood to flow over Aries' face once more!
Barreta tires to hit a Gobstopper on Aries, but Aries dodges it and Barreta flies right into a HADOUKEN from Omega, blasting him backwards! Aries attempts to attack Omega, but Omega yells "STOP!" holding up his hands as he does, causing Aries to hesitate and get caught with an Enzuigiri! Aries is on a knee, dazed and Omega proceeds to blast him straight to the FACE with a Hadouken, and that's it!
Omega pins Aries, and he's headed to the finals of the tournament!

BACKSTAGE SEGMENT
Paul London is backstage with Todd Grisham. Grisham asks how London feels about his title match tonight, and the words Alex Shelley and Bryan Danielson both had for him earlier in the night.
London says he feels confident that tonight will be the night that he regains his spot as a World champion in the NWA. He says no matter how Shelley wants to downplay Paul London's accomplishments and abilities, the fact of the matter is, he is a Paul London mark and wishes he could be Paul London, but he has never achieved his level and he never will. The tag team many believed Alex Shelley lead, the Motor City Machine Guns, couldn't hold a candle on their best day to the team Paul London lead to a World Tag Team championship with Brian Kendrick, and that's all there is to it. When it comes to one on one competition, he's going to find out just how talented he really is, and he's going to realize not only does Paul London still have what it takes to get the job done, but he's going to realize that Alex Shelley never had the tools to compete at the elite level; that's where you're at when you step into the ring with Paul London.
As for Bryan Danielson, it doesn't matter if he can remember yesterday, a week ago, or ten years ago, because it doesn't change the fact that he is a hack, he is a phony, he's never had the balls to make it on the grand stage, and every time he's been in a serious competition with Paul London, he's showed up, and that's just a fact. If he wants to continue his quest to destruction, by all means, he can bring it on. He's grown quite fond of kicking Dragon's ass, and he doesn't think it's going to get old any time soon.
As for tonight, though, it's all about getting some championship gold, and that's what is going to happen.

TAG TEAM MATCH
Big E Langston & Derrick Bateman vs. Kenneth Cameron & Mason Ryan
Langston and Bateman come out, Langston slapping his hands and the chalk bursts off of them, signifying he's ready to do some work, while Bateman poses and looks jacked and ready for action. These two look very strong together and seem to be feeding off of each others energy. Cameron and Ryan, on the other hand, look more brooding coming out, but no less physically imposing, as Cameron's long, athletic frame looks just as battle ready as the hulking behemoth he stands next to, this looking to be a very physical contest, indeed.
The match is more plodding and methodical, with lots of brawling and tag outs that lead to big time impact moves, Cameron and Ryan showing a bit more coherence as a team throughout in their allied assault. Langston though gets the engines fired up midway through and starts laying into his opponents big time, getting some near falls, but Ryan is able to nearly decapitate him with a Polish Hammer to turn the tides, nailing Bateman with a massive Spinebuster seconds later.
Bateman is able to mount a bit of comeback for his team after breaking away from a Sleeper Hold attempt from Cameron, nailing some big armdrags followed by a powerslam. The fans are rallying behind him, really liking the energy he and Langston are trying to bring to this match, but after Bateman takes down Ryan with a big Flying Shoulderblock, Cameron manages to catch him with a Jumping Reverse STO, planting him hard while Langston is on the outside and managing to secure the three count victory.

BACKSTAGE SEGMENT
Sara Del Rey is backstage holding her championship over her shoulder. She says she is preparing for one of the biggest matches of her career, as she heads off to the Queens Cup to compete for the World Women's championship against a woman she has now had some fierce battles in the ring with in Kana.
However, here at home, an ugly head has risen up from the wood work, an old arch rival who now thinks she can just walk in and stake claim to a shot at her title. Del Rey goes on to say that Hailey Hatred is sadly mistaken, though, in thinking attacking her will automatically earn her a shot at her belt. Del Rey says she knows what Hatred is capable of, but she needs to earn it; as much as she'd love to just kick her ass, this isn't the league for women to just step over other women and it just goes unnoticed. There are a lot of girls ready to take down Del Rey, and no matter what Hatred thinks, she has to get in line just like everybody else.
For now, though, her main focus in winning the highest prize in the sport, and she is prepared to do so by any means necessary.

NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE CONTENDERSHIP TOURNAMENT
TRIANGLE MATCH
"The Death Machine" Chris Dickinson vs. "The Notorious 187" Homicide w/ Shelly Martinez vs. Tyler Black
Homicide, unlike Austin Aries, was able to make it to the opening of this contest, but he still looked a little worn down. However, that did not hinder this highly competitive and physical contest whatsoever from the onset. The No Limits champion looked very game to take on Dickinson and Black, and they showed he no mercy throughout.
Black seemed really charged up here, having lost his Television title and having done battle with Homicide on numerous occasions, these two were working each other very knowingly and the exchanges were very spirited. Dickinson, however, is always the monkey wrench and is always effective, and put a hurting on both of his opponents throughout with his hard hitting offense, rubbing it in with his smash mouth, smack talking style that really gets the fans going.
Love him or hate him, Chris Dickinson gets a reaction like few others in the sport.
The contest was coming to a close, as each man had been trying to throw out their best weapons. Martinez had actually gotten involved as Dickinson was antagonizing her man Homicide, leading Dickinson to get opened up for a big Springboard Knee Attack from Black! Homicide would then attempt his vicious Lariat on Black, but Black actually dropped down to his back, avoiding the impact and kipping up, but in doing so left the referee wide open to get blasted by the strike!
Black attempts to lay into Homicide with a Superkick after he turns in shock, but Homicide side steps it and catches Black with an Ace Crusher! Homicide slaps his chest as Martinez cheers him on, yelling out to the crowd in Spanish as they cheer him on before nailing Black with the Cop Killa! From the back, though, as this is happening, runs Austin Aries, who goes to ringside and grabs the ring bell! Homicide tries to revive the referee, but Aries shoves down Martinez, who tries to block him, and enters the ring, SMASHING Homicide with the ring bell right to the face, sending him tumbling through the ropes to the floor!
Aries proceeds to go out and attack Homicide, tossing him into the audience and then nailing him with a Brainbuster on the floor! What mayhem!
Back in the ring, Dickinson has jarred his cobwebs and sees Black pulling himself up on the ropes. Black turns and Dickinson catches with with a Corkscrew Roundhouse Kick to the chest, folding him in half. Dickinson then lifts him up, positioning him and crushing Black on the back of his head AGAIN with a Brain Eater!
Dickinson covers the now nearly dead Black as the referee slowly counts, and it's all over! Dickinson has advanced!
_________________________________________________________
SINGLES MATCH
Fandango w/ Summer Rae vs. "The Premier Athlete" Tony Nese
Fandango makes his way to the ring, dancing with his partner Summer Rae, to what was first a stunned reaction by these Rochester fans that eventually evolved into a chorus of boos. Fandango seemed to completely ignore this reaction, as well as Tony Nese, throughout his entrance.
The bell sounds and these two lock up. Fandango gets the upper hand early, taking Nese down with a leg sweep and then taunting him with some dance moves. Nese shakes it off and gets back up. Fandango goes in for the attack again, but Nese escapes a headlock and unloads with five vicious shoot kicks to Fandango's hamstrings, backing him into the corner before attempting a German Suplex! Fandango, however, blocks it and elbows Nese before dropping down and rolling out of the ring.
Fandango waves him off, grabbing a microphone and saying, "My name is FAAAAN-DAAAAN-GOOOOO! I am the greatest entertainer wrestling has ever seen, and the greatest dancer to ever live... Tony Nese is neither; he is boring, he is drab, and he is not worth my time. Call me when you find someone worth my time, Ring Warriors!"
His music hits again and he dances back up the stage, the win is given to Tony Nese on this one as Fandango has forfeit. What a weirdo.

BACKSTAGE SEGMENT
Paul Heyman is backstage talking with Chris Dickinson when up walks Shawn Michaels. Michaels congratulates Dickinson on his win and says even though he doesn't agree with his beliefs or what he has to say, he hopes he and Kenny Omega are able to overcome Jon Moxley. The last thing this world needs is that guy with the World Heavyweight title... Matthews is bad enough!
Heyman cuts in and says that all of that is real nice, but Michaels doesn't need to worry about Chris Dickinson; he should probably worry about his hand picked favorites, and how they keep getting all of the big matches they don't deserve. He says the fact that a guy like Paul London is in a match with a champion the caliber of Alex Shelley is a travesty, and that Bryan Danielson basically has free reign to do as he pleases! He can go and attack anyone he pleases, and now he claims he has amnesia, so it's all better.
Dickinson chimes in both of those pussies have no business in Ring Warriors!
Michaels smiles, taking it in stride, before retorting that if Dickinson really thinks he's that much better than Bryan Danielson, maybe they'll have to see about that. And as far as Paul London goes, he's earned his shot, and Shelley should just be happy to have anybody going after that title. That's a lot more than Johnny Gargano could say.
All three men chime in with a, "Well, yeah, fuck that guy..." or something similar.
Before all of this can come to an end, though, in walks Mick Foley! Foley says that he doesn't care what any of them are talking about, he says something needs to be done about this farce that has occurred in this tournament. He says that Austin Aries' actions since this company has opened directly lead to this tournament having big marks against it, and the man who should be in the finals, Homicide, the best pound for pound star on the roster, is now out of it and for what!? What's going to be done about this!?
Foley's comments about Homicide being the best pound for pound wrestler sends Dickinson, Heyman, and Michaels all in a sort of uproar. Michaels says Aries and Homicide both have dirt on their hands, and they will be dealt with. As for Homicide being the best on the roster, that's very questionable and it's very speculative to say he would've won that match.
Dickinson, who did win that match, says there's absolutely NO FUCKIN' WAY Homicide would have won that match!
Mick Foley snickers and tells Dickinson to keep telling himself that.
Foley walks off laughing, shaking his head as Dickinson looks like he might try to attack Foley from behind, but Heyman holds him back, telling him to let it go, it's not worth it. Michaels echoes Heyman a little more sarcastically as this segment comes to an end.
_________________________________________________________
SINGLES MATCH
Annie Social vs. Hailey Hatred
These two former tag team partners came into this match very cautiously. Hatred wanted to come in here and get the win, so making sloppy mistakes was not an option, especially against the woman who probably knows her best in and out of that ring in Annie Social. Social would try to keep the bigger Hatred on the ground in the more neutral territory, but Hatred proved her grit and would manage to get things going more her way, which is power and impact. Hatred would try to put Social away with her Diva Killer and a Samoan Driver, but Social kept finding ways to bridge her back and escape the pin attempts. Finally, after just repeatedly slamming her down and pounding her, Hatred would apply the Stretch Plum, twisting Social's body in cringe worthy ways that forced the Philadelphia native to tap.
POST-MATCH SEGMENT
Hatred gets on the mic and tells Sara Del Rey that it's one down, and she'll keep 'em comin' until she's ready to fight!

TAG TEAM MATCHES
Heath Slater & Shiima Xion vs. "Brooklyn's Flyest" JTG & "Long Island Iced-Z" Zack Ryder
Two new teams were coming into battle here, as Ryder and JTG, who gained respect for each other after a spirited match weeks ago, look to take down the two West Virginia partiers, Slater and Xion. There was a lot of ego in this match, but it actually produced a very entertaining series of exchanges that had the fans going perhaps the most they'd been all night.
JTG and Ryder have a lot of tag team experience between them, so they really showed some great poise and tandem offense. Slater and Xion, though, looked a lot more synchronized than you might think, but they've obviously been strategizing for this match and came looking to keep the pace fast, keep their bigger opponents off of their feet and try to use more dare devil and opportunistic tactics, actually garnering more near falls in the match.
JTG would save Ryder from Xion after Shiima nailed "Long Island Iced-Z" with a 630 Senton and then begin to rally. After nailing many big right hands on both Slater and Xion, JTG ducked a dropkick attempt from Slater which landed to the face of Xion, sending him to the outside. JTG would then nail Da Shout Out on Slater, before taunting for the crowd, getting them pumped for what was coming next. Ryder gets up and starts pumping his fist... "WOO! WOO! WOO!" JTG is on the top rope now, as Slater staggers up... Ryder nails the Rough Ryder on Slater, followed by JTG flying off the top with a Guillotine Legdrop!
Ryder pins Slater with a hard leg hook as JTG blocks Xion from coming in, and Ryder and JTG get the pinfall for the win!

NWA WORLD JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE
SINGLES MATCH
Alex Shelley (c) vs. Paul London
London and Shelley both came into this with a certain swagger, both him absolutely sure of themselves and their superiority. London would find out the hard way though that the champion is no slouch, and he got worked into the mat very quickly at the onset. London would feel it out, though, getting a grip on the situation and battling back with some solid counter grappling. They ended in a stalemate that left the fans clapping and cheering them on, this already shaping up to be a very good contest.
London managed to get Shelley to the outside and nailed a Running Shooting Star Press off of the apron, spearing Shelley to the floor to get the fans going! Shelley would fight back, nailing London with some big strikes on the outside and hitting a Sliced Bread #2 off the turnpost. That move would slow down London long enough for Shelley to hit a Springboard Sit-Out Moonsault to the outside, taking London down very gracefully, causing the fans to erupt with applause!
Shelley throws London back into the ring and attempts a Frog Splash, but London manages to get up the knees to block it! London goes on to nail a Standing Shooting Star Press, thinking he might have it, but Shelley kicks out. London tries to work over Shelley again on the mat, stretching his arms out with a Surfboard, but Shelley breaks free and catches London with a stiff face kick to break things up.
The pace gets frantic from here, as Shelley starts trying to finish off London and London gets desperate to escape it, opting for roll-ups and then finally going dirty with an eye poke followed by a tights-grabbing School Boy, but only a two count! London seems frustrated, getting in the face of the referee and actually shoving the ref! The referee, however, isn't intimidated, shoving London back and SHELLEY ROLLS HIM UP! THE REFEREE COUNTS, AND SHELLEY GETS HIM!
POST-MATCH SEGMENT
Shelley is ecstatic, celebrating in the ring with his title and posing for all of his fans in the crowd who are happy to see London get what was coming to him. London, though, starts throwing things around on the outside before grabbing a steel chair! London slides in and BLASTS the referee with the chair! Shelley turns and London catches him over the head with the chair!
London smacks Shelley with the chair one more time before BRYAN DANIELSON makes his way out. Danielson slides in and runs right past London. London turns, not sure what is happening as he holds the chair up when, like a lightning bolt, Danielson flies through the air and dropkicks the chair right into London's face with tremendous force! London is knocked out of the ring, and he's scrambling now, as Bryan Danielson tells him to get back in there and fight like a man!
Danielson gets off the ropes, smiling with a face that is now no longer covered in a full beard, but rather a modest amount of stubble. Eventually he turns, and it's Alex Shelley staring at him from the corner, clutching his ribs but looking kind of hesitant to be happy to see him. Danielson goes to try and shake Shelley's hand, but Shelley just says, "Thanks," and rolls out of the ring, leaving Danielson hanging.
Danielson shrugs it off, and celebrates a little more for the adoring fans before heading to the back.

NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE CONTENDERSHIP TOURNAMENT
TRIANGLE MATCH
"The Death Machine" Chris Dickinson vs. Jon Moxley vs. Kenny Omega
Dickinson, Moxley, and Omega have all traveled very different paths to get to this point, but they all seemed to understand what was at stake and wanted it equally as bad. Dickinson and Omega seemed to make a pact early, however, and they went on the attack of Moxley, the intruder Ring Warriors champion who has made no friends since first arriving in this company and is universally loathed by all on the payroll.
Once Moxley had felt the brunt of some of their worst strikes and hardest moves, Omega would actually take Dickinson off guard by striking him from behind, showing that aggressive streak that was prominent earlier in the night. Omega was relentless, attempting pinfall after pinfall, trying to get this over with, but "The Death Machine" wouldn't have it. Dickinson would manage to reverse a Suplex attempt, taking down Omega with a Fujiwara Armbar and blasting him with knees and elbows, yelling out like a wildman as he applied a Facelock, but Moxley would barrel in with a Double Axe Handle to break up Dickinson's momentum.
Moxley would brutally, relentlessly stomp Dickinson into the corner until Dickinson was actually bleeding from his nose, obviously not pulling back a bit! Moxley would then lay into Omega with knees and open hand strikes before nailing a Snap DDT and attempting to win, but only a two count was made. Moxley went back to trying to attack Dickinson, but Dickinson managed to overtake him and sent Moxley barreling through the turnbuckles and shoulder first into the turnpost, followed by a big German Suplex! Moxley pops up on one knee and takes a few swings at the air as he goes cross-eyed before falling to the mat.
Dickinson and Omega have a tough strike exchange, which Omega ends by ducking a Roundhouse Kick and hitting a Jumping Spin Kick to the side of Dickinson's head, followed by a Cross Leg Fisherman's Buster, but Moxley manages to pull Omega off and locks him into an STF! Omega gets close to the ropes before Moxley changes, pulling back his arms and turning him to his bottom, where he begins driving knee after knee into his spine. Moxley runs off the ropes and delivers a big knee to the face of Omega as he is in a sitting position!
Moxley turns, looking to Dickinson who is getting back to his feet. Moxley grabs him into a Headlock when DAN MAFF jumps the railing and slides into the ring! Moxley, though, catches Maff with a series of right hands before clotheslining him over the ropes. Moxley turns and catches a Running High Kick to the face from Dickinson! Dickinson pulls Moxley, grabbing his arm and stepping over it before lifting him and driving him with the Brain Eater!
The referee counts and he gets the three count right before Kenny Omega can break it up unsuccessfully! Chris Dickinson gets the win, and he's getting another shot at Kyle Matthews!
POST-MATCH SEGMENT
Kyle Matthews can be seen on the top of the stage, smiling as Dan Maff makes his way up there to join him. Matthews looks pleased as Chris Dickinson yells profanities at him. Moxley holds his head, staring up at Matthews before Bobby Fish ambushes them from behind! Dickinson, Moxley, and even Omega all get in on this, with Alex Shelley, Paul London, Bryan Danielson, Homicide, and a few others from the locker room all pour out, and we have an all out brawl!
Kyle Matthews has incited a riot here in Ring Warriors, and the fans are loving this as security and road agents try to get this under control and the show comes to an end!
