A little early, but this is a two show week, so why the Hell not? Just getting it out of the way, and I must say, I'm very happy with how it turned out. I hope you guys enjoy. I know it is a detailed one, but I had a lot of fun.

SEGMENT
Backstage, Shawn Michaels is confronted by Chris Hero. Hero says he wants retribution for the attack by William Regal, and he doesn't want to wait till Sacrifice to get it! Michaels informs him that he doesn't call the shots, and tonight, he'd better be ready for a whole different fight. Hero says he doesn't care, he wants Regal!
Michaels says that Regal has been barred from the building tonight. He then goes on to say that tonight, in a No Disqualifications match, he and Paul London will be teaming up to take on Bryan Danielson and Alex Shelley! Hero doesn't have much to say about that, contemplating this huge road block going into Sacrifice.

SINGLES MATCH
Ron Killings vs. Sonjay Dutt
Killings was able to get this crowd to pop pretty well, as he came out dancing and high fiving, looking really glad to be here tonight. Sonjay Dutt, on the other hand, didn't look too pleased at all. It's not surprising, given how many times this guy has been tossed around recently. He's just looking to get paid and get out.
What would happen, though, would nearly blow the lid off of the Elks Lodge tonight, as these two opened the show in a huge way. Dutt would manage to take Killings down and punish him early, but Killings would fight his way back up and get things moving at a high pace. "The Truth" would nail some big flying kicks and forearms on the Indian American star before hitting a Powerslam for a two count. Dutt would battle back and nail Killings with a Satellite DDT for a two count, getting a big reaction.
Killings would catch Dutt with a Huracanrana reversal, followed by a Corkscrew Flying Forearm to send him out of the ring! Killings would get the fans fired up, jumping up and down, before flying over the top and hitting a big Front Flip Senton Suicida! Killings picks up Dutt and drops Dutt on the railing gut first, hopping up on the apron and trying hit a Front Flip Legdrop to his back, but Dutt moves out on the way. Dutt jumps up on the railing, spinning and smashing Killings on the floor with a Moonsault!
Dutt sends Killings into the ring, and then jumps up on the apron. Dutt does a twirly sort of taunt, getting the fans going, before springboarding and attempting a DragonRana, but Killings reverses it into like a Sunset Flip Sit-Out Powerbomb!
"OH MY GOD!!!"
Joey Styles is going crazy for that one, as the fans chant "HOLY SHIT!" Dutt, somehow, manages to kick out! The fans are buzzing as Killings knees and chops Dutt in the corner. Killings pulls him out and "The Truth" puts Dutt on the top. Killings attempts to nail a Huracanrana, but Dutt shoves him off, sending Killings flipping to the mat face first! Dutt gets up on the top turnbuckle facing the fans as Killings lays on his back, holding his gut in pain. Dutt then flips off, getting huge hang time and comes crashing down with the MOONSTOMP!!! What impact!
Dutt makes the cover as the fans go crazy, and he gets the three count! I doubt either of these men will be going anywhere after that performance, the fans giving them a great ovation in what was an amazing opener!

SINGLES MATCH
John Walters vs. Xavier Woods
"The Hurricane" John Walters has been primarily a tag team wrestler for years, but now the Massachusetts native finds himself in singles action against another man who's primarily seen success as a tag team competitor in Xavier Woods. Woods would come out looking to have a good time, slapping the fans hands and jumping around, while Walters looked very serious and ready to get down to business, stretching out on the ropes and sizing up the young man from Georgia.
Woods tries to start off the match by extending his hand, but Walters slaps it away and says, "I don't shake hands with pansies!" Woods smiles, backing off of it and then the two lock up. Walters shoves Woods back in the buckles, and the referee calls for a break. Oh! Walters lights him up with a chop, before backing off. Woods drops to a knee for a moment, but gets back up, a steely look forming in his eye. The two lock up again, but this time Woods back up "The Hurricane" on the ropes, unloading a lightning fast series of shots to his torso with both hands before hitting a HUGE uppercut that sent Walters rolling over the ropes and to the floor!
Woods is jumping, getting everyone behind him as he looks like he's going for a dive, but as he tries to dive straight through the ropes onto Walters, Walters jumps up and grabs him by the head, turning a bit as he does and drops Woods on the floor with a CRAZY DDT COUNTER! Walters looks like that hurt him a bit, but Woods obviously took the worst of it, landing right on his head.
Walters sends Woods into the ring and attempts a cover, but only a two count. Walters stares the ref, telling him to count faster, before attempting it again, but still just a two. Walters lifts up Woods, snapping him over with a quick Suplex and floats over, trying again, but still just a two. Walters locks him up in a Rear Chinlock, wrenching it in and yelling, "C'MON! GIVE IT UP, PUNK!" but Woods keeps fighting.
The fans start stomping and clapping, willing Woods to get to his feet. Woods does just that, laying into Walters' abdomen with two big elbows, but "The Hurricane" cuts him off by sending him down by his dreadlocks to his back hard. Walters quickly runs and drops a fast legdrop across his chest, trying for another cover, but still just a two. Walters goes right back to the Rear Chinlock, relentless, but Woods fights his way up again! Woods counters it into a Top Wristlock, trying to take Walters down, but Walters bridges before making his way back up and then reversing it, sending Woods down hard with a Belly to Back Suplex! Walters then rolls to the apron, pausing to measure before slingshotting himself over and hitting a big Legdrop!
Walters covers again, but still just a two count!
Walters picks up Woods, trying for a Suplex, but Woods floats over it, shoving Walters into the ropes and executing an O'Connor Roll, but just a two! Woods tries for a clothesline, but Walters ducks it and catches him with a Knife Edged Chop as he turns. Walters grabs Woods and spins him as he holds his chest, but Woods bursts, catching him with a quick Enzuigiri! Woods then catches Walters with a Kneeling Reverse STO, going for the cover, but still just a two count!
The fans are whooping, yelling at Woods to finish him! Woods lifts up Walters, trying for something as he spins him on his shoulders, perhaps trying a Fireman's Carry Ace Crusher, but Walters lands on his feet, dropkicking Woods to the back and sending him into the corner. Walters runs over and catches Woods with a knee to the gut in the corner, putting him on the turnbuckles and then pulling him out... right into a Backpack Stunner!
Walters rolls backwards, floating over onto Woods, and it's all over! John Walters gets the hard fought win in a very smartly worked match by both men.

SEGMENT
Backstage, Jon Moxley is gloating to Bobby Fish and Sami Callihan about how he's got the night off at Sacrifice because nobody has the guts to fight him! He's left Ring Warriors scared, and has raped them of any dignity! They all laugh and make fun of the promotion until up walks Mick Foley!
Foley says that he likes the spunk Moxley has, his scrappy demeanor, but he's got no heart, and that's not gonna take him very far. Moxley says what he lacks in heart he makes up for in brains, and he says if Foley had any brains left, he'd realize that now is neither the time nor the place to criticize Jon Moxley, unless he wants TOXIC consequences.
Foley says that while his brains aren't what they used to be, he is able to remember why he is here, and it's to convey a message. He says he was told to inform the champion that he would be fighting at Sacrifice, and his opponent would decided tonight in a Six Man Ladder Match. He says there are six men who didn't get the memo about the whole being raped of their dignity thing, and that very much want a shot at Jon Moxley, and would be glad to lift that title off of his shoulder.
Moxley says Foley had better leave while he's ahead, as he's suddenly sickened by the look of his face... and kind of wants to peel off of his skull Foley smiles his toothless grin and says, "Have a nice day!" before heading off to do whatever it is he does, leaving TOXIC to scowl in his general direction.

SINGLES MATCH
Shawn Daivari vs. Titus O'Neil
Shawn Daivari would start this match off pretty well, managing to dodge the initial attacks by the large adversary he found himself pitted against tonight. Daivari would go the first couple of minutes unharmed, sticking Titus with elbows and low dropkicks, trying to chopblock him down and apply submission holds, but O'Neil proved to be very formidable. O'Neil would manage to overcome Daivari's attacks and reversed them, holding him down and landing a series of mounted punches, a blatant choke, and then followed up with some hard grounded knees and elbows!
Daivari would manage to catch O'Neil with a Springboard Back Elbow out of the corner as a reversal to an Irish whip, trying for a quick roll-up win, but O'Neil would roll through and demolish Daivari with a huge Running Boot, getting a two count. Daivari looked about dead as O'Neil lifted him up, trying for a Powerbomb, but Daivari surprised him, pushing himself over and catching O'Neil with a shocking sort of Yoshi Tonic, earning him a two count!
Daivari would score with two big Dropkicks that sent O'Neil to his back. Daivari would go for a Bulldog, but O'Neil shoved him off, yelling and posing like a behemoth! O'Neil would grab Daivari by the head with both hands, reeling back and headbutting him into the corner! He would then pull him out of the corner and lift him into the Fallaway Slam position, throwing him up and catching him with a Samoan Drop! He would cover, but still Daivari would kick out!
Daivari would fight back with right and left hands, trying to knee O'Neil, but O'Neil would smash him again with a massive headbutt. O'Neil would then pick up Daivari and lift him with a Belly to Back before sending him crashing down face first with a Reverse Standing Sidewalk Slam! O'Neil then picks up Daivari, who looks limp and unable to defend himself. O'Neil hoists him up on his right shoulder and begins to try and snap him in half with a Canadian Backbreaker!
O'Neil hops up and down as Daivari's back bends to his will, and Daivari is forced to tap out! Titus O'Neil looks very good in victory here, while Daivari showed a lot of heart.

SEGMENT
Backstage, we see Roman Reigns standing in front of the camera.
"Stevie Richards is a man who's done a lot of things, been a lot of places in this sport. Most recently, he was hooked up with TOXIC, and now, he's here after they dumped him, trying to be a wrestler again. Stevie, I don't respect you, let's get that out of the way right now. I think you're a piece of crap, and I think you're taking up a roster space that should belong to someone who's actually young and hungry, trying to do some good for the sport; not some washed up never was like you, who's only here because you're buddy buddy with Paul Heyman. Tonight, I'm gonna do something about it. I'm gonna break you and send you packin'!"
We then head to another part of the arena, where we see Stevie Richards.
"You know, I've been bustin' my ass in this business since 1992. And I show up here, my bags packed, my boots ready to get laced up, and there's some punk ass kids bitchin' and moanin', askin', 'Why is this guy here? What is he doin' here?' You know who's askin' that question? A guy named Roman Reigns, first and foremost, and he's comin' to take me down. You know what? Maybe I'm not quite the wrestler I once was, but you know what? I'm still pretty damn good, and that makes me a Hell of a lot better than a lot of these pieces of trash on this roster. You think I had to beg and plead to get here? Not a chance, and Roman Reigns is about to find out why I'm here, and what I can do. He doesn't respect me, and that's fine. I'll beat some respect into him. No disqualifications, no count outs, no bullshit. Win, lose, or draw, he's going to know I belong here, and I'm not goin' anywhere!"
Richards pounds his fist into his palm, and we head to the ring.

NO DISQUALIFICATION MATCH
Roman Reigns vs. Stevie Richards
Reigns and Richards both came out looking very serious, and for good reason: both men seemed to want to kill each other throughout. It was obvious there was no love lost here, as Reigns took to tearing into Richards early, breaking off a collar and elbow tie-up to try and beat the crap out of him, kneeing and clubbing him in the corner relentlessly. Reigns goes on to pull Richards out of the corner by his arm and nails a big short-arm Clothesline, attempting a cover, but Richards kicks out at barely a two count.
Reigns pops up and starts stomping him, "STAY DOWN, BITCH!"
Richards tries to cover up until Reigns pushes him out of the ring. Richards stumbles over towards the announcer's table as Reigns pursues. Reigns grabs Richards confidently, but Richards turns, smashing Reigns in the face with the ring bell! Reigns goes down to his knees and Richards bashes him to the back of the head with the bell!
Joey Styles is beside himself as Richards just continues to dive down, repeatedly sending the bell crashing into Reigns back and head! The referee looks like he might stop it, but Richards shoves him and yells at him, "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Richards begins to choke Reigns with his boot, before going down and blasting him with rapid fire mounted punches. The referee tries to break it up, but Richards hops up and just starts drilling Reigns with repeated stomps!
Richards storms away, waving his hands and yelling at the fans, who are cheering him on!
Reigns looks out of it, but is rolling on the floor, trying to get to his feet. Richards grabs him up by his head and hooks him in, looking like he might Suplex him through the table, but Reigns somehow blocks it, lifting up Richards and sending him torso first onto the table! The table doesn't break, though, and Reigns backs up, measuring up Richards. Reigns runs, jumping and sending a boot to the side of his head, sending Richards rolling off and down hard to the floor! Reigns now yells out, pumping his fists and the fans approve!
Reigns motions for Richards to get up, and Richards does just that. Reigns storms in, trying for a Spear, but Richards side steps and grabs Reigns, sending him head first into the guard rail! Reigns pulls himself up, and Richards catches him with a Stevie Kick, sending the Samoan right into the crowd over the rail! Richards stumbles over, grabbing a chair and setting it up by the rail. Reigns is stumbling around in the crowd as Richards runs at the chair, using it to step up and launch himself into the crowd over the rail, tackling Reigns down as everybody cheers!
Both men reach their feet and exchange blows, fist for fist, before Reigns overtakes Richards with a big knee to the gut, followed by a Overhead Belly to Belly Suplex on the floor! Richards is really hurting after that! Reigns picks up Richards and tosses him into the railing, before grabbing a chair. Reigns hits Richards over the head with a chair, sending shudders down his spine. Reigns then blasts Richards to the gut with the chair and then throws it down, yelling out and taunting the veteran star.
Reigns attempts to clothesline Richards over the railing, but Richards ducks down and manages to Back Body Drop his assailant over, sending Reigns crashing with a thud! Richards grabs a chair and heads over the railing, smashing Reigns to the back with a few times before sliding it into the ring. Richards picks up Reigns and tries to send him into the ring, but Reigns catches Richards with a back elbow and then launches him face first into the turnpost, busting the Philadelphia native wide open!
Reigns goes under the ring as Richards squirms on the floor. He pulls out a table and slides it into the ring! Reigns then tries to pick up Richards, but Richards catches him with a low blow! Stevie proceeds to claw at his eyes viciously, before laying into him with multiple inside elbows. Richards sends Reigns into the ring and then hops up on the apron. He has blood pouring from his forehead, but he won't stop. He heads up top and sizes up Reigns.
Stevie flies off, trying for a Big Splash, but Reigns gets his knees up and crushes Richards' chest! Reigns rolls up, looking dazed but he has Richards in his sights. Stevie stumbles up holding his midsection, blood covering his face, and Reigns rushes in and catches him with a big Spear! Reigns hooks the leg after a short moment, but NO! Styles can't believe it, as Richards just kicked out!
Reigns pulls at his hair, but motions for the end! He goes and grabs the table, setting it up in the corner. As he turns, Stevie is back up and catches him with the Stevie Kick! Reigns stumbles off the table in the corner and right into a Stevie T! Richards covers, hooking the leg hard, but Reigns manages to kick out! The fans can't believe it, and Stevie looks like he could cry as blood continues to pulsate from his busted forehead.
Stevie motions for Reigns to get up, stumbling around and waving his hands, the fans stomping and cheering. Reigns is up, his hand balled in a fist and his eyes narrowed, still a lot of fight in him. Stevie tries to snap off another Stevie Kick, but Roman actually catches it! Stevie is hopping, and Roman pulls him in, lifting him and grabbing his other leg! Roman spins and runs forward...
"OH MY GOD! SOMEBODY CALL THE PARAMEDICS!"
Richards has just been Powerbombed through the table in the corner, smashing him into all of the buckles in a big blast of broken wood, as Reigns is on all fours, head away from the wreckage as he tries to compose himself. Reigns then crawls over and grabs Richards leg, pulling and pulling until he gets him over of the debris. Reigns covers, and it's academic. One, two... NO!!!
"WHAT IS IT GONNA TAKE!?"
Reigns is laughing now, smiling, he can't believe it. Stevie has his right fisted raised, the fans chanting, "STEVIE! STEVIE! STEVIE!"
Reigns grabs the wrist of the that hand and pulls him up. Stevie sends three fists into the ribs of Reigns, still trying to fight, but Reigns just levels him with a clothesline... and then hangs on, obviously not done. Reigns yanks him up again, and again levels him with a clothesline. Reigns lifts him again, and this time pulls him into a Uranage and lifts him up, nailing a standing Uranage Slam. The fans continue to chant, "STEVIE! STEVIE! STEVIE!"
Reigns is in the corner, motioning for Richards to get up. It takes Richards all of about two minutes to do it, pulling his bloodied and beaten carcass up on the ropes. He stumbles to the center of the ring, both fists up with a dazed look in his eye, still trying to fight, but in comes Roman Reigns like a runaway freight train to try and chop him in half... SPEAR!!!
Reigns plants him hard there, driving him to the mat and all of the air has left Richards' body. Reigns makes the cover, and all of the fans are counting.
"ONE! TWO! THREE!"
A standing ovation, as both men lay on the mat, exhausted from that match.
Reigns is the first one up, and gets his hand raised in victory. He waits, though, as Richards gets to his feet with help from the officials and some medical staff. Reigns stops them, however, before they can take him away. Reigns, in a classy gesture and one the fans cheer in a big way for, offers his hand. Richards, not looking too coherent, manages to accept.
Respect has been earned.

SINGLES MATCH
Chris Sabin vs. Petey Williams
These two know each other very well, and after all of the action here tonight, needed to really pull out all of the stops to stand out. These two have been another pair that have bounced around quite a bit, with Sabin having a good bit of success in Hybrid Pro winning their Television title, but ultimately falling flat. Williams hasn't been able to find any consistent grounding in years, and one has to wonder if this might be has last shot to really turn some heads.
These two go at it on the mat hold for hold to start, really playing the counter game well and showing how well they know each other. The exchange ends with both men attempting dropkicks, only to end at a stand still. The fans applaud, but are a little burned out and have to get into this one.
Sabin manages to open it up with a big chop that turns some heads. Williams fight back with punches and kicks, taking Sabin down in the corner and choking him viciously. Williams pulls him out and tries for a Sharpshooter, but Sabin turns it into a Small Package for a two count! Both men are up quick and Sabin takes down Williams with a deep armdrag into an Armlock, trying to maintain control. Williams manage to make his way up, tripping Sabin and slamming him down to the mat. Sabin gets up into a headlock and hips Williams, leapfrogging and diving under him before trying to catch him into a Sleeper, but Williams counters it into a Russian Legsweep, followed by a Grounded Octupus Stretch!
Sabin is in trouble, but manages to get to the ropes before succumbing to the pain.
Williams chops and kicks him against the ropes, seeming confident and trying for a clothesline, but Sabin ducks under and goes for a Back Body Drop. Williams manages to land on his feet, but catches a back elbow to the mush for his troubles. Williams hangs on and Sabin runs, springboarding and tries to turn and catch Williams with a dropkick to send him to the floor, but Williams pulls back and evades it. Sabin is on all fours for a moment, and Williams slingshots over, diving and rolling up Sabin with a quick Oklahoma Roll, getting a two count!
Both men are up, and Sabin cuts him down with a double chop! Williams is back up and Sabin takes him down with a Spinning Wheel Kick! Sabin follows up with a Standing Moonsault, trying for the win, but still just a two count! Sabin is quick to get up, motioning for Williams to get up, and catches him with a Spinkick to the gut when he does. Sabin tries to get him up on his shoulders, looking to end this, but Williams slides off and nails a Reverse DDT!
Williams motions for the Canadian Destroyer, and everyone is on their feet! Sabin stumbles up and Petey kicks him, getting him in position, but Sabin tries to reverse it by tossing him over. Petey, however, lands on his feet and catches Sabin with a mule kick when he turns right to the abdomen. Petey runs and springboards off the middle rope, leaping and turning for a Swinging DDT, but Sabin powers through and counters with a Northern Lights Suplex! He rolls through, though, popping up to his feet as Petey sits and PLOWS HIM with a Running Knee Strike to the face!
Sabin covers, but STILL only gets a two count! Sabin says, "IT'S OVER!" and picks up Petey, hooking him in and tries to cross his legs, but Petey revereses into a Small Package! Only a two count! Sabin and Williams are both up and Sabin storms in, but Petey falls back and grabs his legs. Sabin is on his back as Petey has him in a Boston Crab, but Petey turns it over. Petey stomps Sabin three times to gut before repositioning. He twists his legs... and he locks on the Sharpshooter!
Sabin is hurting and trying to get to the ropes, but Williams loosens up and walks him back to the original position. This was a tactical error, though, as Sabin rolled under the loosened hold and began sending right hands upward, breaking up the hold! Petey stumbles back and Sabin is up, jumping and connecting with an Enzugiri!
"LIGHTS OUT!"
Sabin goes for a Roundhouse Kick as Petey is kneeling, but Petey ducks it and catches Sabin with a Jawbreaker. Sabin stumbles away, holding his jaw, and Petey runs at his back, jumping and grabbing him, nailing a POISON RANA! Sabin lands right on top of his head!
Petey turns, desperately, and hooks the leg. The referee counts to three, and Petey manages to get the three count! He can't believe it, and neither can anyone else! These guys gave it everything, and Petey is back on the winning track!

TAG TEAM MATCH
Alex Shelley & Bryan Danielson vs. Chris Hero & Paul London
Shelley and Hero start things off, and they have a long tie up exchange. Hero pins Shelley back into his team's corner, and London tags himself in, kind of perturbing his partner, but they go to work on the World Jr. Heavyweight champion, stomping and pounding him. Shelley manages to overcome London with a Huracanrana later on, tagging in Bryan Danielson, who really wants a piece of London.
Danielson tears into London with kicks and chops, trying to get a win with a German Suplex, but only a two count.

London attacks Shelley, leading Danielson to come in and tackle London, the two fist fighting on the outside.
Hero catches Shelley with a big Rolling Elbow, but only a two count. He sees Danielson getting the better of the thing on the outside, so he decides to fly, nailing a huge Tope con Hilo to smash Danielson into the floor! Shelley comes flying out, hitting a Springboard Moonsault to crash on top of everyone! It's London's turn next as everyone tries to get their feet. He comes crashing off the top onto everyone with a huge Shooting Star Plancha, and the fans can't help but chant "HOLY SHIT!"
The impact was phenomenal on that one.
Hero looked like he get the win over Shelley later on as things got back in the ring, nailing him with another Rolling Elbow, but Danielson was able to come in and roll Hero off and right into the LeBell Lock! London would manage to springboard in and dropkick Danielson off of his partner, saving the match for his team.

Shelley gets to his feet, stumbling a bit, and London is able to springboard back in and catch him with a Mushroom Stomp!
London then is able to hit a Standing Shooting Star Press, and it's all over! Paul London is able to get a pinfall over the champion!
After the match, Shawn Michaels comes out and says he's been really impressed with everyone on this show, and this match was no different. He says at Sacrifice, though, an official match has yet to be made for the World Jr. Heavyweight title... and he says tonight, based on what he saw, he thinks it needs to be a triangle match involving Shelley, London, and Danielson!
The crowd erupt with approval as Michaels leaves the competitors to all stare each other down and contemplate the future.

RING WARRIORS TITLE #1 CONTENDERSHIP
SIX MAN LADDER MATCH
Corey Graves vs. JTG vs. Michael Tarver vs. Shiima Xion vs. Trent Barreta vs. Zack Ryder
Talk about a very chaotic match, as it was nearly impossible to call the action on this one. Multiple ladder were involved in this fray, as the highspots were at all time high, each man desperately wanting to get a spot on the Pay Per View, and their big chance at the Ring Warriors title.
Shiima Xion is always able to steal the show in these matches, and tonight was no different, as he managed to hit a 630 Senton from the ladder to the outside of the ring, cannonballing himself onto nearly all of his opponents! Another amazing move came from Zack Ryder, who was battling Corey Graves at the top of a ladder. Ryder would manage to climb all the way to the top and take Graves down with a Rough Ryder variation off the ladder! The powerhouse of the bunch, Michael Tarver, would turn a lot of by nearly breaking a ladder in half, catching Shiima Xion in his arms as the Filipino American star tried to jump and crossbody him off the apron. Tarver would nail his Tarver's Lightning finisher off the apron on a ladder bridging the apron and the guardrail, crushing it in half!
In the end, two of the front runners in this match, JTG and Trent Barreta, would battle at the top for who would get it. JTG would block a DDT attempt from Barreta, slugging it out with him and somehow hitting a version of Da Shout Out, smashing Barreta to the mat! Graves looked like he might get it, but Tarver would grab him and try to Powerbomb him. Graves would hold on, and actually sort of Huracanrana'd Tarver over the ropes to the outside, sending both men to the floor!
Shiima would try to climb up the ladder next, but Zack Ryder would grab his leg. Xion would kick him away, before nailing a Moonsault off the middle of the ladder, sending Ryder down. JTG saw his moment, running and dropkicking Xion, and he went out of the ring. With Barreta and Ryder down on the inside, and everyone else on the outside, JTG made his way up... and he secured the contract!
JTG is headed to Sacrifice to face Jon Moxley!
And like clockwork, out came Moxley, Fish, and Callihan with chairs to beat down JTG and anyone else who tried to put up a fight!
The show comes to an end with Moxley standing triumphantly in the middle of the ring, his foot planted on the chest of JTG as he holds up his championship.
But will he walk out with it on Sunday?

SEGMENT
Backstage, Shawn Michaels is confronted by Chris Hero. Hero says he wants retribution for the attack by William Regal, and he doesn't want to wait till Sacrifice to get it! Michaels informs him that he doesn't call the shots, and tonight, he'd better be ready for a whole different fight. Hero says he doesn't care, he wants Regal!
Michaels says that Regal has been barred from the building tonight. He then goes on to say that tonight, in a No Disqualifications match, he and Paul London will be teaming up to take on Bryan Danielson and Alex Shelley! Hero doesn't have much to say about that, contemplating this huge road block going into Sacrifice.

SINGLES MATCH
Ron Killings vs. Sonjay Dutt
Killings was able to get this crowd to pop pretty well, as he came out dancing and high fiving, looking really glad to be here tonight. Sonjay Dutt, on the other hand, didn't look too pleased at all. It's not surprising, given how many times this guy has been tossed around recently. He's just looking to get paid and get out.
What would happen, though, would nearly blow the lid off of the Elks Lodge tonight, as these two opened the show in a huge way. Dutt would manage to take Killings down and punish him early, but Killings would fight his way back up and get things moving at a high pace. "The Truth" would nail some big flying kicks and forearms on the Indian American star before hitting a Powerslam for a two count. Dutt would battle back and nail Killings with a Satellite DDT for a two count, getting a big reaction.
Killings would catch Dutt with a Huracanrana reversal, followed by a Corkscrew Flying Forearm to send him out of the ring! Killings would get the fans fired up, jumping up and down, before flying over the top and hitting a big Front Flip Senton Suicida! Killings picks up Dutt and drops Dutt on the railing gut first, hopping up on the apron and trying hit a Front Flip Legdrop to his back, but Dutt moves out on the way. Dutt jumps up on the railing, spinning and smashing Killings on the floor with a Moonsault!
Dutt sends Killings into the ring, and then jumps up on the apron. Dutt does a twirly sort of taunt, getting the fans going, before springboarding and attempting a DragonRana, but Killings reverses it into like a Sunset Flip Sit-Out Powerbomb!
"OH MY GOD!!!"
Joey Styles is going crazy for that one, as the fans chant "HOLY SHIT!" Dutt, somehow, manages to kick out! The fans are buzzing as Killings knees and chops Dutt in the corner. Killings pulls him out and "The Truth" puts Dutt on the top. Killings attempts to nail a Huracanrana, but Dutt shoves him off, sending Killings flipping to the mat face first! Dutt gets up on the top turnbuckle facing the fans as Killings lays on his back, holding his gut in pain. Dutt then flips off, getting huge hang time and comes crashing down with the MOONSTOMP!!! What impact!
Dutt makes the cover as the fans go crazy, and he gets the three count! I doubt either of these men will be going anywhere after that performance, the fans giving them a great ovation in what was an amazing opener!

SINGLES MATCH
John Walters vs. Xavier Woods
"The Hurricane" John Walters has been primarily a tag team wrestler for years, but now the Massachusetts native finds himself in singles action against another man who's primarily seen success as a tag team competitor in Xavier Woods. Woods would come out looking to have a good time, slapping the fans hands and jumping around, while Walters looked very serious and ready to get down to business, stretching out on the ropes and sizing up the young man from Georgia.
Woods tries to start off the match by extending his hand, but Walters slaps it away and says, "I don't shake hands with pansies!" Woods smiles, backing off of it and then the two lock up. Walters shoves Woods back in the buckles, and the referee calls for a break. Oh! Walters lights him up with a chop, before backing off. Woods drops to a knee for a moment, but gets back up, a steely look forming in his eye. The two lock up again, but this time Woods back up "The Hurricane" on the ropes, unloading a lightning fast series of shots to his torso with both hands before hitting a HUGE uppercut that sent Walters rolling over the ropes and to the floor!
Woods is jumping, getting everyone behind him as he looks like he's going for a dive, but as he tries to dive straight through the ropes onto Walters, Walters jumps up and grabs him by the head, turning a bit as he does and drops Woods on the floor with a CRAZY DDT COUNTER! Walters looks like that hurt him a bit, but Woods obviously took the worst of it, landing right on his head.
Walters sends Woods into the ring and attempts a cover, but only a two count. Walters stares the ref, telling him to count faster, before attempting it again, but still just a two. Walters lifts up Woods, snapping him over with a quick Suplex and floats over, trying again, but still just a two. Walters locks him up in a Rear Chinlock, wrenching it in and yelling, "C'MON! GIVE IT UP, PUNK!" but Woods keeps fighting.
The fans start stomping and clapping, willing Woods to get to his feet. Woods does just that, laying into Walters' abdomen with two big elbows, but "The Hurricane" cuts him off by sending him down by his dreadlocks to his back hard. Walters quickly runs and drops a fast legdrop across his chest, trying for another cover, but still just a two. Walters goes right back to the Rear Chinlock, relentless, but Woods fights his way up again! Woods counters it into a Top Wristlock, trying to take Walters down, but Walters bridges before making his way back up and then reversing it, sending Woods down hard with a Belly to Back Suplex! Walters then rolls to the apron, pausing to measure before slingshotting himself over and hitting a big Legdrop!
Walters covers again, but still just a two count!
Walters picks up Woods, trying for a Suplex, but Woods floats over it, shoving Walters into the ropes and executing an O'Connor Roll, but just a two! Woods tries for a clothesline, but Walters ducks it and catches him with a Knife Edged Chop as he turns. Walters grabs Woods and spins him as he holds his chest, but Woods bursts, catching him with a quick Enzuigiri! Woods then catches Walters with a Kneeling Reverse STO, going for the cover, but still just a two count!
The fans are whooping, yelling at Woods to finish him! Woods lifts up Walters, trying for something as he spins him on his shoulders, perhaps trying a Fireman's Carry Ace Crusher, but Walters lands on his feet, dropkicking Woods to the back and sending him into the corner. Walters runs over and catches Woods with a knee to the gut in the corner, putting him on the turnbuckles and then pulling him out... right into a Backpack Stunner!
Walters rolls backwards, floating over onto Woods, and it's all over! John Walters gets the hard fought win in a very smartly worked match by both men.

SEGMENT
Backstage, Jon Moxley is gloating to Bobby Fish and Sami Callihan about how he's got the night off at Sacrifice because nobody has the guts to fight him! He's left Ring Warriors scared, and has raped them of any dignity! They all laugh and make fun of the promotion until up walks Mick Foley!
Foley says that he likes the spunk Moxley has, his scrappy demeanor, but he's got no heart, and that's not gonna take him very far. Moxley says what he lacks in heart he makes up for in brains, and he says if Foley had any brains left, he'd realize that now is neither the time nor the place to criticize Jon Moxley, unless he wants TOXIC consequences.
Foley says that while his brains aren't what they used to be, he is able to remember why he is here, and it's to convey a message. He says he was told to inform the champion that he would be fighting at Sacrifice, and his opponent would decided tonight in a Six Man Ladder Match. He says there are six men who didn't get the memo about the whole being raped of their dignity thing, and that very much want a shot at Jon Moxley, and would be glad to lift that title off of his shoulder.
Moxley says Foley had better leave while he's ahead, as he's suddenly sickened by the look of his face... and kind of wants to peel off of his skull Foley smiles his toothless grin and says, "Have a nice day!" before heading off to do whatever it is he does, leaving TOXIC to scowl in his general direction.

SINGLES MATCH
Shawn Daivari vs. Titus O'Neil
Shawn Daivari would start this match off pretty well, managing to dodge the initial attacks by the large adversary he found himself pitted against tonight. Daivari would go the first couple of minutes unharmed, sticking Titus with elbows and low dropkicks, trying to chopblock him down and apply submission holds, but O'Neil proved to be very formidable. O'Neil would manage to overcome Daivari's attacks and reversed them, holding him down and landing a series of mounted punches, a blatant choke, and then followed up with some hard grounded knees and elbows!
Daivari would manage to catch O'Neil with a Springboard Back Elbow out of the corner as a reversal to an Irish whip, trying for a quick roll-up win, but O'Neil would roll through and demolish Daivari with a huge Running Boot, getting a two count. Daivari looked about dead as O'Neil lifted him up, trying for a Powerbomb, but Daivari surprised him, pushing himself over and catching O'Neil with a shocking sort of Yoshi Tonic, earning him a two count!
Daivari would score with two big Dropkicks that sent O'Neil to his back. Daivari would go for a Bulldog, but O'Neil shoved him off, yelling and posing like a behemoth! O'Neil would grab Daivari by the head with both hands, reeling back and headbutting him into the corner! He would then pull him out of the corner and lift him into the Fallaway Slam position, throwing him up and catching him with a Samoan Drop! He would cover, but still Daivari would kick out!
Daivari would fight back with right and left hands, trying to knee O'Neil, but O'Neil would smash him again with a massive headbutt. O'Neil would then pick up Daivari and lift him with a Belly to Back before sending him crashing down face first with a Reverse Standing Sidewalk Slam! O'Neil then picks up Daivari, who looks limp and unable to defend himself. O'Neil hoists him up on his right shoulder and begins to try and snap him in half with a Canadian Backbreaker!
O'Neil hops up and down as Daivari's back bends to his will, and Daivari is forced to tap out! Titus O'Neil looks very good in victory here, while Daivari showed a lot of heart.

SEGMENT
Backstage, we see Roman Reigns standing in front of the camera.
"Stevie Richards is a man who's done a lot of things, been a lot of places in this sport. Most recently, he was hooked up with TOXIC, and now, he's here after they dumped him, trying to be a wrestler again. Stevie, I don't respect you, let's get that out of the way right now. I think you're a piece of crap, and I think you're taking up a roster space that should belong to someone who's actually young and hungry, trying to do some good for the sport; not some washed up never was like you, who's only here because you're buddy buddy with Paul Heyman. Tonight, I'm gonna do something about it. I'm gonna break you and send you packin'!"
We then head to another part of the arena, where we see Stevie Richards.
"You know, I've been bustin' my ass in this business since 1992. And I show up here, my bags packed, my boots ready to get laced up, and there's some punk ass kids bitchin' and moanin', askin', 'Why is this guy here? What is he doin' here?' You know who's askin' that question? A guy named Roman Reigns, first and foremost, and he's comin' to take me down. You know what? Maybe I'm not quite the wrestler I once was, but you know what? I'm still pretty damn good, and that makes me a Hell of a lot better than a lot of these pieces of trash on this roster. You think I had to beg and plead to get here? Not a chance, and Roman Reigns is about to find out why I'm here, and what I can do. He doesn't respect me, and that's fine. I'll beat some respect into him. No disqualifications, no count outs, no bullshit. Win, lose, or draw, he's going to know I belong here, and I'm not goin' anywhere!"
Richards pounds his fist into his palm, and we head to the ring.

NO DISQUALIFICATION MATCH
Roman Reigns vs. Stevie Richards
Reigns and Richards both came out looking very serious, and for good reason: both men seemed to want to kill each other throughout. It was obvious there was no love lost here, as Reigns took to tearing into Richards early, breaking off a collar and elbow tie-up to try and beat the crap out of him, kneeing and clubbing him in the corner relentlessly. Reigns goes on to pull Richards out of the corner by his arm and nails a big short-arm Clothesline, attempting a cover, but Richards kicks out at barely a two count.
Reigns pops up and starts stomping him, "STAY DOWN, BITCH!"
Richards tries to cover up until Reigns pushes him out of the ring. Richards stumbles over towards the announcer's table as Reigns pursues. Reigns grabs Richards confidently, but Richards turns, smashing Reigns in the face with the ring bell! Reigns goes down to his knees and Richards bashes him to the back of the head with the bell!
Joey Styles is beside himself as Richards just continues to dive down, repeatedly sending the bell crashing into Reigns back and head! The referee looks like he might stop it, but Richards shoves him and yells at him, "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Richards begins to choke Reigns with his boot, before going down and blasting him with rapid fire mounted punches. The referee tries to break it up, but Richards hops up and just starts drilling Reigns with repeated stomps!
Richards storms away, waving his hands and yelling at the fans, who are cheering him on!
Reigns looks out of it, but is rolling on the floor, trying to get to his feet. Richards grabs him up by his head and hooks him in, looking like he might Suplex him through the table, but Reigns somehow blocks it, lifting up Richards and sending him torso first onto the table! The table doesn't break, though, and Reigns backs up, measuring up Richards. Reigns runs, jumping and sending a boot to the side of his head, sending Richards rolling off and down hard to the floor! Reigns now yells out, pumping his fists and the fans approve!
Reigns motions for Richards to get up, and Richards does just that. Reigns storms in, trying for a Spear, but Richards side steps and grabs Reigns, sending him head first into the guard rail! Reigns pulls himself up, and Richards catches him with a Stevie Kick, sending the Samoan right into the crowd over the rail! Richards stumbles over, grabbing a chair and setting it up by the rail. Reigns is stumbling around in the crowd as Richards runs at the chair, using it to step up and launch himself into the crowd over the rail, tackling Reigns down as everybody cheers!
Both men reach their feet and exchange blows, fist for fist, before Reigns overtakes Richards with a big knee to the gut, followed by a Overhead Belly to Belly Suplex on the floor! Richards is really hurting after that! Reigns picks up Richards and tosses him into the railing, before grabbing a chair. Reigns hits Richards over the head with a chair, sending shudders down his spine. Reigns then blasts Richards to the gut with the chair and then throws it down, yelling out and taunting the veteran star.
Reigns attempts to clothesline Richards over the railing, but Richards ducks down and manages to Back Body Drop his assailant over, sending Reigns crashing with a thud! Richards grabs a chair and heads over the railing, smashing Reigns to the back with a few times before sliding it into the ring. Richards picks up Reigns and tries to send him into the ring, but Reigns catches Richards with a back elbow and then launches him face first into the turnpost, busting the Philadelphia native wide open!
Reigns goes under the ring as Richards squirms on the floor. He pulls out a table and slides it into the ring! Reigns then tries to pick up Richards, but Richards catches him with a low blow! Stevie proceeds to claw at his eyes viciously, before laying into him with multiple inside elbows. Richards sends Reigns into the ring and then hops up on the apron. He has blood pouring from his forehead, but he won't stop. He heads up top and sizes up Reigns.
Stevie flies off, trying for a Big Splash, but Reigns gets his knees up and crushes Richards' chest! Reigns rolls up, looking dazed but he has Richards in his sights. Stevie stumbles up holding his midsection, blood covering his face, and Reigns rushes in and catches him with a big Spear! Reigns hooks the leg after a short moment, but NO! Styles can't believe it, as Richards just kicked out!
Reigns pulls at his hair, but motions for the end! He goes and grabs the table, setting it up in the corner. As he turns, Stevie is back up and catches him with the Stevie Kick! Reigns stumbles off the table in the corner and right into a Stevie T! Richards covers, hooking the leg hard, but Reigns manages to kick out! The fans can't believe it, and Stevie looks like he could cry as blood continues to pulsate from his busted forehead.
Stevie motions for Reigns to get up, stumbling around and waving his hands, the fans stomping and cheering. Reigns is up, his hand balled in a fist and his eyes narrowed, still a lot of fight in him. Stevie tries to snap off another Stevie Kick, but Roman actually catches it! Stevie is hopping, and Roman pulls him in, lifting him and grabbing his other leg! Roman spins and runs forward...
"OH MY GOD! SOMEBODY CALL THE PARAMEDICS!"
Richards has just been Powerbombed through the table in the corner, smashing him into all of the buckles in a big blast of broken wood, as Reigns is on all fours, head away from the wreckage as he tries to compose himself. Reigns then crawls over and grabs Richards leg, pulling and pulling until he gets him over of the debris. Reigns covers, and it's academic. One, two... NO!!!
"WHAT IS IT GONNA TAKE!?"
Reigns is laughing now, smiling, he can't believe it. Stevie has his right fisted raised, the fans chanting, "STEVIE! STEVIE! STEVIE!"
Reigns grabs the wrist of the that hand and pulls him up. Stevie sends three fists into the ribs of Reigns, still trying to fight, but Reigns just levels him with a clothesline... and then hangs on, obviously not done. Reigns yanks him up again, and again levels him with a clothesline. Reigns lifts him again, and this time pulls him into a Uranage and lifts him up, nailing a standing Uranage Slam. The fans continue to chant, "STEVIE! STEVIE! STEVIE!"
Reigns is in the corner, motioning for Richards to get up. It takes Richards all of about two minutes to do it, pulling his bloodied and beaten carcass up on the ropes. He stumbles to the center of the ring, both fists up with a dazed look in his eye, still trying to fight, but in comes Roman Reigns like a runaway freight train to try and chop him in half... SPEAR!!!
Reigns plants him hard there, driving him to the mat and all of the air has left Richards' body. Reigns makes the cover, and all of the fans are counting.
"ONE! TWO! THREE!"
A standing ovation, as both men lay on the mat, exhausted from that match.
Reigns is the first one up, and gets his hand raised in victory. He waits, though, as Richards gets to his feet with help from the officials and some medical staff. Reigns stops them, however, before they can take him away. Reigns, in a classy gesture and one the fans cheer in a big way for, offers his hand. Richards, not looking too coherent, manages to accept.
Respect has been earned.

SINGLES MATCH
Chris Sabin vs. Petey Williams
These two know each other very well, and after all of the action here tonight, needed to really pull out all of the stops to stand out. These two have been another pair that have bounced around quite a bit, with Sabin having a good bit of success in Hybrid Pro winning their Television title, but ultimately falling flat. Williams hasn't been able to find any consistent grounding in years, and one has to wonder if this might be has last shot to really turn some heads.
These two go at it on the mat hold for hold to start, really playing the counter game well and showing how well they know each other. The exchange ends with both men attempting dropkicks, only to end at a stand still. The fans applaud, but are a little burned out and have to get into this one.
Sabin manages to open it up with a big chop that turns some heads. Williams fight back with punches and kicks, taking Sabin down in the corner and choking him viciously. Williams pulls him out and tries for a Sharpshooter, but Sabin turns it into a Small Package for a two count! Both men are up quick and Sabin takes down Williams with a deep armdrag into an Armlock, trying to maintain control. Williams manage to make his way up, tripping Sabin and slamming him down to the mat.

Williams motions for the Canadian Destroyer, and everyone is on their feet! Sabin stumbles up and Petey kicks him, getting him in position, but Sabin tries to reverse it by tossing him over. Petey, however, lands on his feet and catches Sabin with a mule kick when he turns right to the abdomen. Petey runs and springboards off the middle rope, leaping and turning for a Swinging DDT, but Sabin powers through and counters with a Northern Lights Suplex! He rolls through, though, popping up to his feet as Petey sits and PLOWS HIM with a Running Knee Strike to the face!
Sabin covers, but STILL only gets a two count! Sabin says, "IT'S OVER!" and picks up Petey, hooking him in and tries to cross his legs, but Petey revereses into a Small Package! Only a two count! Sabin and Williams are both up and Sabin storms in, but Petey falls back and grabs his legs. Sabin is on his back as Petey has him in a Boston Crab, but Petey turns it over. Petey stomps Sabin three times to gut before repositioning. He twists his legs... and he locks on the Sharpshooter!
Sabin is hurting and trying to get to the ropes, but Williams loosens up and walks him back to the original position. This was a tactical error, though, as Sabin rolled under the loosened hold and began sending right hands upward, breaking up the hold! Petey stumbles back and Sabin is up, jumping and connecting with an Enzugiri!
"LIGHTS OUT!"
Sabin goes for a Roundhouse Kick as Petey is kneeling, but Petey ducks it and catches Sabin with a Jawbreaker. Sabin stumbles away, holding his jaw, and Petey runs at his back, jumping and grabbing him, nailing a POISON RANA! Sabin lands right on top of his head!
Petey turns, desperately, and hooks the leg. The referee counts to three, and Petey manages to get the three count! He can't believe it, and neither can anyone else! These guys gave it everything, and Petey is back on the winning track!

The crowd erupt with approval as Michaels leaves the competitors to all stare each other down and contemplate the future.

RING WARRIORS TITLE #1 CONTENDERSHIP
SIX MAN LADDER MATCH
Corey Graves vs. JTG vs. Michael Tarver vs. Shiima Xion vs. Trent Barreta vs. Zack Ryder
Talk about a very chaotic match, as it was nearly impossible to call the action on this one. Multiple ladder were involved in this fray, as the highspots were at all time high, each man desperately wanting to get a spot on the Pay Per View, and their big chance at the Ring Warriors title.
Shiima Xion is always able to steal the show in these matches, and tonight was no different, as he managed to hit a 630 Senton from the ladder to the outside of the ring, cannonballing himself onto nearly all of his opponents! Another amazing move came from Zack Ryder, who was battling Corey Graves at the top of a ladder. Ryder would manage to climb all the way to the top and take Graves down with a Rough Ryder variation off the ladder! The powerhouse of the bunch, Michael Tarver, would turn a lot of by nearly breaking a ladder in half, catching Shiima Xion in his arms as the Filipino American star tried to jump and crossbody him off the apron. Tarver would nail his Tarver's Lightning finisher off the apron on a ladder bridging the apron and the guardrail, crushing it in half!
In the end, two of the front runners in this match, JTG and Trent Barreta, would battle at the top for who would get it. JTG would block a DDT attempt from Barreta, slugging it out with him and somehow hitting a version of Da Shout Out, smashing Barreta to the mat! Graves looked like he might get it, but Tarver would grab him and try to Powerbomb him. Graves would hold on, and actually sort of Huracanrana'd Tarver over the ropes to the outside, sending both men to the floor!
Shiima would try to climb up the ladder next, but Zack Ryder would grab his leg. Xion would kick him away, before nailing a Moonsault off the middle of the ladder, sending Ryder down. JTG saw his moment, running and dropkicking Xion, and he went out of the ring. With Barreta and Ryder down on the inside, and everyone else on the outside, JTG made his way up... and he secured the contract!
JTG is headed to Sacrifice to face Jon Moxley!
And like clockwork, out came Moxley, Fish, and Callihan with chairs to beat down JTG and anyone else who tried to put up a fight!
The show comes to an end with Moxley standing triumphantly in the middle of the ring, his foot planted on the chest of JTG as he holds up his championship.
But will he walk out with it on Sunday?
