A video highlighting what has transpired between Kyle Matthews and Bully Ray leads into the opening pyro as Matt Striker from NWA South Beach and Lenny Leonard from NWA Hybrid Pro welcome everyone to Beach Brawl. The stage is set up in an homage to Bash at the Beach from a decade almost forgotten as the announce team runs down the card, especially the main event barbed wire steel cage match for the NWA World Heavyweight Title. We head down to the ring for our first match, with NWA South Beach owner Howard Schilling doing introductions.
Match Number 1: NWA South Beach Tag Team Title Match: The No Remorse Corps (c) vs The All Night Express
The challengers come out first to a nice reaction as Matt Striker recaps how close Kenny King came to almost qualifying for the Crossfire Cage match at The Great American Bash. Out next are the champions who come out to a resounding chorus of boos from this capacity crowd at the Sun Dome. This match went back and forth with Davey Richards and Rocky Romero proving that the win over King and Titus at RFTA Day 2 wasn't a fluke. King and Titus looked really good and looked to have the match won after King hit Romero with a Royal Flush but Jon Moxley, Jimmy Jacobs, Ezekiel Jackson and Sami Callihan would swarm the ring and attack ANX causing this match to get thrown out.
Winners via DQ: Kenny King and Rhett Titus, The All Night Express
After the bell rings TOXIC continues to swarm ANX until Johnny Gargano, Vordell Walker and BJ Whitmer hit the ring! Moxley had some words about Gargano a few weeks back and it looks like Johnny has decided to answer back! The crowd cheers as Gargano, Walker and Whitmer help ANX clear the ring. The five men in the ring look at each other as Gargano extends his hand to Kenny. The crowd starts cheering as Kenny looks at Rhett....Rhett nods.....and Kenny shakes Gargano's hand! Whitmer and Titus shake hands while Vordell Walker smiles and nods. Gargano grabs a mic.
Gargano: Kyle Matthews, you think that with your Prophecy around you that you rule the NWA with an iron fist and a heart of darkness. We who stand in this ring are traveling the path of the righteous and will lead you to the gates of judgement and save the NWA from your villainy once and for all. We love you all.
Gargano, Walker, Whitmer, King and Titus walk to the back as the announce team wonders what this means for the champ.
A quick vignette for The Great American Bash, coming to you live on iPPV from the TD Garden in Boston on July 14, airs.
We come back to a panning shot of the crowd and Hikaru Shida & Miyako Matsumoto from NWA JPP are shown in the front row. The camera focuses on them and they smile, wave and point at their watches.
Match Number 2: AJ Lee vs. Awesome Kong
The announcers quickly mention how things have changed as just six short months ago these women were on the same side of a ten woman tag match. AJ tries everything she can to mount some form of offense against the massive woman who opposes her. AJ tries to hook Kong for a suplex but Jessicka Havok, South Beach Women's championship gleaming around her waist, comes out with a mic.
Havok: Enough is enough. Ref, get the hell out of the ring, this match is over. AJ sweetie, you can leave too; this doesn't concern you. *AJ goes to say something but both Kong and Havok round on her so she quickly exits the ring while she has the ability to do so under her own power* Kong you have made my life a living hell since you turned up here from Windy City a few months ago and I have had it up to here with your assaults on my precious Midwest Militia. The way I see it, we got ourselves a little problem; *points at Hikaru and Miyoko* those two Japanese Bubblegum Bitches over here *Hikaru and Miyoko stand up* want two women from South Beach for their little four way elimination tag match at the Bash, and you want a shot at my title. You and I are the best women's wrestlers in South Beach, and if we win: you can have a shot at this title; but if you cost us this match I swear on Stephanie and sweet little Ally's medical bills that you will NEVER sniff this title as long as I have it....and I don't plan on relinquishing this baby for a LONG time. Do we have a deal?
Kong contemplates this and nods at Havok who starts laughing.
Havok: Hailey, Sara, X and Marcela: Let this be a warning to you. You meet your doom in two weeks. *turns to the crowd* Hikaru and Miyako, the thing about Kong and I is that we don't feel like waiting for the Bash, so get your sushi eating, pocky pulling, anime adoring asses in the ring and let's change this 4 way to a three way.
Shida and Matsumoto vault the guard rail and get in the ring. The crowd starts chanting for the four women to fight but security scurries into the ring and separates the two teams. The crowd boos as security tries to shuffle everyone to the back and it looks like the 4 way match for The Great American Bash is complete.
We go to the back where Jay Lethal is surrounded by his teammates for the 8 man tag scheduled for later this evening.
Lethal: Jimmy Jacobs, The Great American Bash is two weeks away and you have yet to answer my challenge for a match for the Television Title. Well buddy boy I'm getting sick and tired of waiting, so earlier today I went to the boss and he told me that in two weeks you can do all the running you want, but I can follow you anywhere. You see at the Great American Bash we could end up at Fenway Park, or maybe in the Boston Harbor to reenact the Boston Tea Party, it won't matter because Falls Count Anywhere. OHHHH YEAH DIG IT! *laughs and claps his teammates on the shoulders* Let's go to work guys.
Match Number 3: "The Technical Messiah" Alex Shelley vs. Zack Sabre Jr
Sabre turned on Shelley last week on Hybrid Pro TV, joining The Pistols in the process, and now these two have a grudge to settle. It was largely a mat based affair, with neither man really having an advantage over the other, Sabre hung in there very well with one of the best mat wrestlers in the game today. Indeed at one point it seemed like nothing would put either man away, with Shelley escaping a Cross Armbreaker from Sabre and Sabre getting to the ropes from both a Shellshock and a Border City Stretch. Shelley's frustration showed at this point, and he went for a Sliced Bread #2, but Sabre reversed into a Sabre Driver. Shelley somehow kicked out again, but Sabre locks the Cross Armbreaker. AND SHELLEY TAPS! What a massive upset win for Sabre, he just made the former World Junior Heavyweight Champion tap clean in the middle of the ring!
Winner: Zack Sabre Jr
Sean Waltman caught up with Sami Zayn earlier in the evening about his ladder match against the Very European Antonio Cesaro
Zayn: Antonio Cesaro, when we first met in the ring many years ago I respected you as a wrestler, a performer and an athlete, you were one of my favourite opponents. Yet the way you've tried to hurt me, even put me out of this sport in Hybrid Pro has tarnished all of that, I have no respect for you anymore Cesaro. You took what could have been a competitive rivalry and made it personal, and even if it means losing my spot in the Crossfire Cage match if I lose, I want to hurt you tonight. I will get my revenge, and then with the victory under my belt I will become the new NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion!
Match Number 4: NWA Hybrid Pro Tag Team Title Match: The Pistols ( & ) (c) vs. RedEye Flights (PAC and Amazing Red)
The Pistols may be on fire as a team, but they may have met their match in RedEye Flights. While Red is difficult enough a challenge for any man on his own PAC is on another level right now, after securing a spot in the Crossfire Cage match last time out in South Beach he was the man to beat. The Pistols showed that refined level of teamwork that has served them well since they formed, and Bennett and Ciampa looked as awesome as ever, but the high flying skill of Red and PAC proved more than a match for them on the night. In fact it proved to be so much of a match for them that the two teams were inseparable, this match went right up to the time limit and ended in a draw.
Result: Time Limit Draw
Before our next match Jimmy Jacobs is standing backstage with the South Beach TV title over his shoulder.
Jacobs: Jay Lethal. It figures that someone like you would resort to snivelling to the boss in order to get a shot at this title. You see, you're a man without a country, even though you claim to be friends with a one man nation; while I am part of the most dynamic faction in the NWA right now. You want your little Falls Count Anywhere match at the Great American Bash, well you've got it....but just like the Boston Bruins a few days ago, you're going to fall victim to a black hawk. Back at the second day of Rising From the Ashes, you gave me your best effort and it STILL wasn't good enough. I took a Lethal Injection and asked for more pain. You gave me a Lethal Combination and I shrugged it off like the common cold. At the Bash, you're giving me carte blanche to do what I did to you in that match AND you're giving me the ability to use weapons. Tonight in our 8 man tag team match I give you a small taste of what lies ahead on the 14th. Just remember, this is your funeral. In Boston we find out who really is the lethal one....
Match Number 5: NWA North American Champion Dolph Ziggler, "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters, NWA South Beach Television Champion Jimmy Jacobs and "The Guyanese Goliath" Ezekiel Jackson vs. "Big Rig" Brodie Lee, Michael Shane, Jay Lethal and Uhaa Nation
Everyone in this match has something to prove. Ziggler has to get ready to face the onslaught of Brock Lesnar and John Cena at The Great American Bash, Jimmy Jacobs and Jay Lethal are preparing for a war against each other in Falls Count Anywhere, Uhaa Nation wants to get momentum started to prove that he isn't just one injury bug after another, Chris Masters wants to prove that he's something more than the muscle behind the "Reflection of Perfection", Ezekiel Jackson wants to prove that he's the biggest and baddest black guy in South Beach, and both Michael Shane and the Big Rig want to prove that they are capable of defeating Dolph Ziggler. This was a war with both teams working together pretty well with everyone laying it all out on the line. At one point everyone was battling on the floor when Uhaa Nation would fly through the ropes with a suicide dive taking out everyone! Eventually it would be down to Chris Masters and Uhaa Nation trading bombs in the middle of the ring with Uhaa finally stunning Masters long enough to set up for a power bomb...no! WAIT! ALL OUT ASSAULT! UHAA NATION HITS A TRIPLE POWERBOMB ON MASTERS! BY GOD THE POWER OF THIS MAN! Uhaa signals for the Uhaa Combination and drops the Masterpiece with a press slam, hits the standing moonsault, and as he leaves his feet for the shooting star Ziggler comes off the top AND HITS A ZIG ZAG! BY GOD IT HE BROKE UHAA'S NECK! The crowd starts chanting "HO-LY SHIT" repeatedly as Michael Shane connects with a dropkick and sends Ziggler over the top rope. Jimmy Jacobs comes in and immedately drops Shane with a DDT! Jacobs gets up and laughs only to turn around to a HUGE boot from Brodie Lee! Lee takes Jacobs and sends him over the top rope, and walks right into the mammoth of a man known as Ezekiel Jackson who hits the Book of Ezekiel! Jackson lets out a primal scream and looks down at Uhaa saying "F*** YOU" before dragging Masters' arm over Uhaa. The referee makes the count and this one is over.
Winners: NWA North American Champion Dolph Zigger, NWA South Beach TV Champion Jimmy Jacobs, Chris Masters and Ezekiel Jackson
Right before his big match with Sami Zayn, Steve McMichael caught up with Antonio Cesaro to get his thoughts on the remarks that Sami Zayn made earlier.
Cesaro: Apparently Sami Zayn has had some big things to say about me, and he's tried his best to take some big actions against me over the past few weeks to. But when its all said and done Sami, your simply not European enough to succeed, not like me. I'm very European, in fact I'm the greatest wrestler to ever come out of Europe. Thats why tonight, when I put you on the shelf for good with a Neutraliser, I will prove that I am more than worthy of a shot at wrestling's "Antichrist" Kyle Matthews or the American slob Bully Ray!
Match Number 6: NWA Hybrid Pro Television Title Match: "The FN Machine" Brian Cage (c) vs. Kofi Kingston.
Cage has been an unstoppable force for his entire run in Hybrid Pro so far, he has beaten everyone put in front of him, and now he has the challenge of a wrestler from South Beach to test his credentials, that being Kofi Kingston. Kingston's flying skills were a definite challenge to Cage, he more than kept up with the champion and took him down on many occasions, including getting a very close near fall with the Boom Drop. Cage's power and technical skill however were such a big challenge for Kingston to keep up with, and with the confidence flowing everything Cage went for seemed to connect as he wanted it to. Indeed the fact that Cage was able to catch Kingston in mid air when he went for Trouble in Paradise says a lot about how confident he is in his ability. Cage would shortly after deliver a Weapon X to retain his title via pinfall.
Winner (and STILL champion): "The FN Machine" Brian Cage
After the match another vignette for the GAB airs highlighting the triple threat match between Jon Moxley, NWA Ring Warriors Champion Chris Dickinson and whoever the NWA World Heavyweight champion is and transitions into an advert promoting NWA Hybrid Pro's next television show. We then head to a pretaped message from the World Tag Team Champions.
Kyle: Now many of you are wondering why we aren't fighting here tonight, or even in the state of Florida for tonight's iPPV. Simple fact is: We don't have to be anywhere we don't want to be. We are the NWA World Tag Team Champions and we fight when and where we want to. Now in two weeks, we're going to be facing three teams for these glorious belts around our waists. So let's look at the competition shall we? Adam would you like to do the honors?
Adam: Thank you my good man, let's see who we have here..ahhh "Money Inc.": Ted DiBiase Jr and Robert Roode. First things first Ted, if you had half the talent and one quarter the charisma that your father had you would have at least been Jr. Heavyweight Champion right now. Too bad that money can't buy the two things in this business that you lack. Robert Roode, you're not much better, with the exception being that you aren't as big a disappointment because you don't have this business in your blood like your tag team partner. At the Great American Bash we're going to show you that money can buy a lot of things, but it can't buy you these titles. Kyle?
Kyle: Very loquacious of you Adam, how do I follow this up? Let's see....how about I go after NWA Mexico's team: "Shocker" and Jushin "Thunder" Liger. Now Liger I really can't say anything about you because I respect everything you've done in this industry. You were a pioneer and made it possible for smaller guys like Adam and I to succeed in this industry. The only shocking thing about you is that you picked a guy named "Shocker" as your tag team partner. Dude is as old as the hills with half their accomplishments, and a nickname that translates into "1000% Handsome"....okay....first of all "Shocker", WE'RE the prettyboys in this match. Adam and I are going to take great delight in turning you 100,000% ugly. Adam, I'll let you have the final team.
Adam: Why thank you Kyle how very benevolent of you. The final team that's going to try and take our belts away from us are the newest incarnation of "The Rockstars of Wrestling", John Morrison and Jimmy Rave from our neighbors to the north of Florida: NWA Empire. I guess that since we have two brawlers, and two luchadores we had to have two spot monkeys, because everyone knows that we're the most technically sound team in this match. Rave, you have to steal your finishers from other people and Morrison gives his finishers stupid names. "Starship Pain"? "The Moonlight Drive"? What did you do go to random.org and just roll 2 dice to come up with names for your finishers? We're going to take your unoriginal asses to the woodshed in Boston. See you in Beantown boys.
Match Number 7: "Very European" Antonio Cesaro vs. Sami Zayn (Ladder Match)
Cesaro and Zayn have had a very wild rivalry in recent weeks, but this one finally came to a head here in a ladder match. And a lot was on the line, as Zayn will secure his spot in the Crossfire Cage matchup if he wins here, while Cesaro will get a shot at Kyle Matthews anytime he so wishes if he wins. While things were as wild as you would expect them to be between two heated rivals, this still was a fantastic ladder match that made full use of the stipulation, in a way it felt a lot like a modern day Razor Ramon/Shawn Michaels matchup with the chiselled machismo of Cesaro battling the showstealer Zayn who would do anything to wow the fans in attendance. Zayn proved that by taking some big risks, leaping off the ladder on a number of occasions, not to mention throwing it in Cesaro's face. Cesaro also showed some flying skill, coming off the ladder with a European Uppercut, and swinging the ladder around Giant Swing style to smack Zayn. Finally however it came down to a battle on the ladder itself, both men climbing to decide who gets the belt. Cesaro almost had Zayn down with an Uppercut, but Zayn held on, smashed Cesaro's head into the ladder and grabbed him. BRAINBUSTER OFF THE LADDER! That was insane, and Cesaro isn't moving after that. Zayn slowly climbs the ladder and grabs the briefcase before Cesaro can make it to his feet!
Winner: Sami Zayn
Before the main event a vignette highlighting the build towards the barbed wire steel cage match plays.
As Bully Ray comes down he has a mic.
Bully: I AM BULLY RAY! *crowd boos* SHUT UP! I AM THE GREATEST PROFESSIONAL WRESTLAH THAT HAS EVER STEPPED FOOT IN THIS GAWD FORSAKEN STATE OF FLORIDA. TONIGHT I COMPLETE A PLAN THAT HAS TAKEN ALMOST A YEAR TO UNFOLD, SO KYLE MATTHEWS; GET YOUR LITTLE BITCH SECURITY DETAIL DOWN HERE AND THEN I'M GONNA WHIP YOU LIKE THE LITTLE PUSSY YOU ARE!
Howard: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is our main event of the evening. It is scheduled for one fall inside of a barbed wire steel cage, and is for the NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP! *crowd cheers* Coming out now, our special guest commentators. Introducing first, from Lafayette, Lousiana; he is The Eater of Worlds, BRAY WYATT! Out with him comes a man who hails from the city of angels, he is "The Prophet" D'Angelo Dinero!
The crowd boos as "Broken Out in Love" starts playing while Bray and Dinero make their way to the ring. Dinero has a mic in hand.
Dinero: Now brother Bray I look out upon this sea of people here and I see a lot of sinners, people that were once good but have had their souls corrupted by the actions of men. What do you propose we do?
Wyatt: Well now you see my prophet I believe I have the perfect solution to this little problem. Mark LoMonaco, I'm going to be gracious like the good book told me to be, and offer you a chance to repent your sins and run. *camera focuses on Ray who shoots a double bird at our commentators*
Striker: Thank god this is on iPPV instead of television....
Wyatt: You truly are a corrupt person Mark.....and you remind me of someone.....my dear old daddy. We all know what happened to him, but you have sealed yourself an even worse fate than that shrimp boat man who once called me a little peon. Since you refuse to let us cleanse your soul the easy way, Kyle Matthews will have to do it the hard way; just like he did to the false angel Christopher Daniels *crowd cheers at the mention of Daniels* and that rusted piece of weaponry Karl Anderson. After we get finished with you tonight, all anyone will have to do to retrieve your body is follow the buzzards where they will find your bloody and battered corpse. Sing it with me folks...tiiiiiiiiiiiiiime is on my side. *laughs softly*
Wyatt and Dinero join Striker and Leonard at the announce table as Howard looks ready to announce the next person in this match.
Howard: Out next is the guest enforcer for the evening. He comes to us from Bed Stuy Do-or-Die in Brooklyn, New York and is the NWA Hybrid Pro Heavyweight Champion....DAAAAAAAAN MAFF!
Maff comes out to a chorus of boos and shakes hands with the guest commentators and then gestures at Howard that he should proceed or face dire consequences.
Howard: Out now is our guest time keeper; from Buenos Aires, Argentina he is "The Angel of Death", Azireal!
Azireal comes down to the ring as the crowd continues booing and takes his place next to the ring bell.
Howard: Now introducing the special guest referee, "The Real American" Jack Swagger!
Swagger comes out with a referee's shirt on as the crowd just continues the booing and out next comes Kyle Matthews to the loudest boos of the evening. He enters the ring and shakes Swagger's hand. Swagger gestures to the skies and slowly brings his hands down and the cage starts to lower! The cage settles into place as everyone notices the same thing: There are tables AND chairs tied to the inside of the cage! The Prophecy must have taken Bully's words to heart! We go back to Howard Schilling for the final set of introductions on the evening.
Howard: Introducing the challenger, standing in the corner to my left. Fighting out of New York, New York, standing 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighing in tonight at 323 pounds. He is a 7 time former NWA World Tag Team Champion, from NWA South Beach: BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLYY RAY!
The crowd is almost torn as to whether to cheer or boo considering the other competitor in this match so they settle on light applause.
Howard: Now standing in the corner to my right. He hails from Marietta, Georgia, stands 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs in tonight at 183 and 1/4 pounds. He is the leader of The Prophecy, and the reigning NWA HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WOOOOOOOOOOOOORLD....FROM NWA HYBRID PRO I GIVE YOU THE ANTI-CHRIST OF PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING: KYLLLLLE MAAAAATHEWS!
The crowd rains boos from the heavens as Jack Swagger takes the NWA World Heavyweight Championship holds it in front of both men and then up high for the crowd to see. Swagger gives the belt to Howard who quickly exits the ring. The cage door shuts, the bell rings and the match FINALLY starts.
Main Event: Kyle Matthews (c) vs. Bully Ray (Barbed Wire Steel Cage Match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship)
Bully Ray and Matthews circle each other before locking up. Ray pushes Matthews back to the steel and shoves him back against the ropes but Matthew's head strikes a chair! Kyle immediately goes over to Swagger to ask for a DQ but Swagger mentions that only KYLE can't use the chair. Ray breaks the meeting by unloading on Matthews with heavy body blows getting the champ down in the corner before turning his back and raising his arms up to the crowd shouting that this'll be over quick. The momentary delay allows Matthews to spring from the corner and chopblock the Bully who goes down to the canvas as Matthews starts pressing this new advantage by going to work on the knee. Matthews starts by stomping on the ankle and then remembers there's a cage around the ring so he puts Ray between the ropes and starts grinding his face against the cage as Bully starts screaming! Bully eventually gets away by elbowing Matthews in the gut and creates enough separation to get to the corner. Kyle charges in and looks for a splash but Bully sidesteps and Matthews crashes into the corner. Matthews turns around...BULLY CUTTER! Bully covers quickly and Swagger looks hesitant to count *Bully: GET DOWN HERE AND COUNT MOTHERFUCKER!* Swagger gets down...one...and a kickout. Bully gets unsteadily to his feet and backs Swagger into a corner. Kyle gets up and takes down a table from one of the walls of the cage and hits Bully with it! Kyle quickly sets up the table...and then lies down on it? What the hell is going on? Bully looks at Matthews like he's lost his mind and goes up top looking for a splash when the stipulations of the match suddenly hit him! Bully gets down off the top rope, looks at Matthews and shakes his head no. Matthews then does the unthinkable and spits in his face! What in god's name is going on inside the head of Kyle Matthews? Bully looks like he's lost it. He picks the champ up and starts throwing him around the ring like a rag doll, eventually ramming Kyle's head into the cage repeatedly and scraping it back and forth across the cage! Matthews has been split open! The champ is bleeding as Bully continues to ram Kyle's head into the cage, but Kyle eventually slips out and trips Bully Ray who falls through the table! Kyle Matthews has put the master of the tables match through a table! Matthews looks absolutely unhinged as he goes to the table and picks up a piece of it. Kyle mounts Ray and starts pounding Ray's skull with the table shard sticking out of his fist. This is sick and our Worlds Heavyweight Champion is a sadist. Now Bully Ray is bleeding.....good god that man has a laceration all the way across his forehead. This is disgusting as both competitors are now wearing the crimson mask. Matthews finally dismounts and asks the crowd how they like their Bully now. Swagger asks Ray if he'd like to continue and gets spat at in the process! Jack wipes the mix of blood and saliva off his face and Matthews gets Ray to his feet and put him in the corner and heads to the opposite end of the ring. Kyle grabs a table and sets it off to one side while Ray quickly undoes a chair and holds it loosely to his side. Matthews signals for the Slurpee Kick but Ray gets the chair up in time! Matthews dropkicks the chair as Bully ducks. Bully with a Bully Bomb! Bully doesn't go for the cover though! Ray picks Matthews up and heads to the top, it looks like he's going for a falling power bomb! IF HE HITS THIS IT'S OVER! Ray jumps off the top rope but Matthews shifts his weight and hits a face buster! MATTHEWS LOCKS ON THE HIDAKA LOCK! Bully Ray is SCREAMING in pain as Kyle keeps shouting at him to tap out. Blood is pouring down Bully's face as he's trying to claw his way out of this hold which has taken down Alberto Del Rio, Chris Dickinson and so many others. Ray is stuck in the middle of the ring...and he somehow manages to get to his feet carrying Matthews who refuses to let go! Matthews cranks on the arm and Bully manages to take about three steps before falling down and ends up inadvertantly sending Matthews through a table! Swagger looks to call for the DQ but Kyle shouts at him not to! Kyle, blood dripping into his mouth, tells Swagger to ask Bully if he quits. Swagger gets down and asks Bully Ray, who is leaving a puddle of blood on the mat, but doesn't get an answer. Swagger lifts the arm as Kyle keeps cranking the hold.....ONE! Striker and Leonard both plead for Swagger to just call the match as he raises the arm again......TWO! Kyle screams as Gargano, Whitmer, Walker, King and Titus show up on the ramp! Dinero and Wyatt leave the announce table to join Maff who has moved towards the front of the cage but Gargano's group is just standing there watching. Swagger takes his focus away from what's happening outside the ring and raises Ray's hand again......THREE! Bully Ray has passed out to the Hidaka Lock!
Winner and STILL NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION: "The Antichrist of Professional Wrestling" Kyle Matthews
The cage raises as Azireal rings the bell and gives Swagger the World Title. Matthews releases the Hidaka Lock and leaves Bully in a heap as Swagger helps him to his feet and gives him the title. Swagger and Matthews lean against the ropes as Dinero, Maff and Wyatt tell Gargano's group to come down to the ring. Gargano just smiles, walks to the back and the rest of his group follows. The Prophecy looks confused but joins together in the ring and lifts the champ on their shoulders when the lights go out! A bright white light shines on the center of the ring.
Voice: Kyle Matthews you have reigned over the NWA for almost one third of a calendar year. You started as the ray of hope and have now been consumed with darkness. It is time for you to realize the blood that is on your heads, the blood of the innocent that will rise to meet you.
Something falls from the ceiling and covers The Prophecy.....it's red liquid! The blood of the innocent is covering The Prophecy! Everyone in the ring is irate as Matt Striker and Lenny Leonard plug the tv shows for both territories as we head off the air.
Match Number 1: NWA South Beach Tag Team Title Match: The No Remorse Corps (c) vs The All Night Express
The challengers come out first to a nice reaction as Matt Striker recaps how close Kenny King came to almost qualifying for the Crossfire Cage match at The Great American Bash. Out next are the champions who come out to a resounding chorus of boos from this capacity crowd at the Sun Dome. This match went back and forth with Davey Richards and Rocky Romero proving that the win over King and Titus at RFTA Day 2 wasn't a fluke. King and Titus looked really good and looked to have the match won after King hit Romero with a Royal Flush but Jon Moxley, Jimmy Jacobs, Ezekiel Jackson and Sami Callihan would swarm the ring and attack ANX causing this match to get thrown out.
Winners via DQ: Kenny King and Rhett Titus, The All Night Express
After the bell rings TOXIC continues to swarm ANX until Johnny Gargano, Vordell Walker and BJ Whitmer hit the ring! Moxley had some words about Gargano a few weeks back and it looks like Johnny has decided to answer back! The crowd cheers as Gargano, Walker and Whitmer help ANX clear the ring. The five men in the ring look at each other as Gargano extends his hand to Kenny. The crowd starts cheering as Kenny looks at Rhett....Rhett nods.....and Kenny shakes Gargano's hand! Whitmer and Titus shake hands while Vordell Walker smiles and nods. Gargano grabs a mic.
Gargano: Kyle Matthews, you think that with your Prophecy around you that you rule the NWA with an iron fist and a heart of darkness. We who stand in this ring are traveling the path of the righteous and will lead you to the gates of judgement and save the NWA from your villainy once and for all. We love you all.
Gargano, Walker, Whitmer, King and Titus walk to the back as the announce team wonders what this means for the champ.
A quick vignette for The Great American Bash, coming to you live on iPPV from the TD Garden in Boston on July 14, airs.
We come back to a panning shot of the crowd and Hikaru Shida & Miyako Matsumoto from NWA JPP are shown in the front row. The camera focuses on them and they smile, wave and point at their watches.
Match Number 2: AJ Lee vs. Awesome Kong
The announcers quickly mention how things have changed as just six short months ago these women were on the same side of a ten woman tag match. AJ tries everything she can to mount some form of offense against the massive woman who opposes her. AJ tries to hook Kong for a suplex but Jessicka Havok, South Beach Women's championship gleaming around her waist, comes out with a mic.
Havok: Enough is enough. Ref, get the hell out of the ring, this match is over. AJ sweetie, you can leave too; this doesn't concern you. *AJ goes to say something but both Kong and Havok round on her so she quickly exits the ring while she has the ability to do so under her own power* Kong you have made my life a living hell since you turned up here from Windy City a few months ago and I have had it up to here with your assaults on my precious Midwest Militia. The way I see it, we got ourselves a little problem; *points at Hikaru and Miyoko* those two Japanese Bubblegum Bitches over here *Hikaru and Miyoko stand up* want two women from South Beach for their little four way elimination tag match at the Bash, and you want a shot at my title. You and I are the best women's wrestlers in South Beach, and if we win: you can have a shot at this title; but if you cost us this match I swear on Stephanie and sweet little Ally's medical bills that you will NEVER sniff this title as long as I have it....and I don't plan on relinquishing this baby for a LONG time. Do we have a deal?
Kong contemplates this and nods at Havok who starts laughing.
Havok: Hailey, Sara, X and Marcela: Let this be a warning to you. You meet your doom in two weeks. *turns to the crowd* Hikaru and Miyako, the thing about Kong and I is that we don't feel like waiting for the Bash, so get your sushi eating, pocky pulling, anime adoring asses in the ring and let's change this 4 way to a three way.
Shida and Matsumoto vault the guard rail and get in the ring. The crowd starts chanting for the four women to fight but security scurries into the ring and separates the two teams. The crowd boos as security tries to shuffle everyone to the back and it looks like the 4 way match for The Great American Bash is complete.
We go to the back where Jay Lethal is surrounded by his teammates for the 8 man tag scheduled for later this evening.
Lethal: Jimmy Jacobs, The Great American Bash is two weeks away and you have yet to answer my challenge for a match for the Television Title. Well buddy boy I'm getting sick and tired of waiting, so earlier today I went to the boss and he told me that in two weeks you can do all the running you want, but I can follow you anywhere. You see at the Great American Bash we could end up at Fenway Park, or maybe in the Boston Harbor to reenact the Boston Tea Party, it won't matter because Falls Count Anywhere. OHHHH YEAH DIG IT! *laughs and claps his teammates on the shoulders* Let's go to work guys.
Match Number 3: "The Technical Messiah" Alex Shelley vs. Zack Sabre Jr
Sabre turned on Shelley last week on Hybrid Pro TV, joining The Pistols in the process, and now these two have a grudge to settle. It was largely a mat based affair, with neither man really having an advantage over the other, Sabre hung in there very well with one of the best mat wrestlers in the game today. Indeed at one point it seemed like nothing would put either man away, with Shelley escaping a Cross Armbreaker from Sabre and Sabre getting to the ropes from both a Shellshock and a Border City Stretch. Shelley's frustration showed at this point, and he went for a Sliced Bread #2, but Sabre reversed into a Sabre Driver. Shelley somehow kicked out again, but Sabre locks the Cross Armbreaker. AND SHELLEY TAPS! What a massive upset win for Sabre, he just made the former World Junior Heavyweight Champion tap clean in the middle of the ring!
Winner: Zack Sabre Jr
Sean Waltman caught up with Sami Zayn earlier in the evening about his ladder match against the Very European Antonio Cesaro
Zayn: Antonio Cesaro, when we first met in the ring many years ago I respected you as a wrestler, a performer and an athlete, you were one of my favourite opponents. Yet the way you've tried to hurt me, even put me out of this sport in Hybrid Pro has tarnished all of that, I have no respect for you anymore Cesaro. You took what could have been a competitive rivalry and made it personal, and even if it means losing my spot in the Crossfire Cage match if I lose, I want to hurt you tonight. I will get my revenge, and then with the victory under my belt I will become the new NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion!
Match Number 4: NWA Hybrid Pro Tag Team Title Match: The Pistols ( & ) (c) vs. RedEye Flights (PAC and Amazing Red)
The Pistols may be on fire as a team, but they may have met their match in RedEye Flights. While Red is difficult enough a challenge for any man on his own PAC is on another level right now, after securing a spot in the Crossfire Cage match last time out in South Beach he was the man to beat. The Pistols showed that refined level of teamwork that has served them well since they formed, and Bennett and Ciampa looked as awesome as ever, but the high flying skill of Red and PAC proved more than a match for them on the night. In fact it proved to be so much of a match for them that the two teams were inseparable, this match went right up to the time limit and ended in a draw.
Result: Time Limit Draw
Before our next match Jimmy Jacobs is standing backstage with the South Beach TV title over his shoulder.
Jacobs: Jay Lethal. It figures that someone like you would resort to snivelling to the boss in order to get a shot at this title. You see, you're a man without a country, even though you claim to be friends with a one man nation; while I am part of the most dynamic faction in the NWA right now. You want your little Falls Count Anywhere match at the Great American Bash, well you've got it....but just like the Boston Bruins a few days ago, you're going to fall victim to a black hawk. Back at the second day of Rising From the Ashes, you gave me your best effort and it STILL wasn't good enough. I took a Lethal Injection and asked for more pain. You gave me a Lethal Combination and I shrugged it off like the common cold. At the Bash, you're giving me carte blanche to do what I did to you in that match AND you're giving me the ability to use weapons. Tonight in our 8 man tag team match I give you a small taste of what lies ahead on the 14th. Just remember, this is your funeral. In Boston we find out who really is the lethal one....
Match Number 5: NWA North American Champion Dolph Ziggler, "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters, NWA South Beach Television Champion Jimmy Jacobs and "The Guyanese Goliath" Ezekiel Jackson vs. "Big Rig" Brodie Lee, Michael Shane, Jay Lethal and Uhaa Nation
Everyone in this match has something to prove. Ziggler has to get ready to face the onslaught of Brock Lesnar and John Cena at The Great American Bash, Jimmy Jacobs and Jay Lethal are preparing for a war against each other in Falls Count Anywhere, Uhaa Nation wants to get momentum started to prove that he isn't just one injury bug after another, Chris Masters wants to prove that he's something more than the muscle behind the "Reflection of Perfection", Ezekiel Jackson wants to prove that he's the biggest and baddest black guy in South Beach, and both Michael Shane and the Big Rig want to prove that they are capable of defeating Dolph Ziggler. This was a war with both teams working together pretty well with everyone laying it all out on the line. At one point everyone was battling on the floor when Uhaa Nation would fly through the ropes with a suicide dive taking out everyone! Eventually it would be down to Chris Masters and Uhaa Nation trading bombs in the middle of the ring with Uhaa finally stunning Masters long enough to set up for a power bomb...no! WAIT! ALL OUT ASSAULT! UHAA NATION HITS A TRIPLE POWERBOMB ON MASTERS! BY GOD THE POWER OF THIS MAN! Uhaa signals for the Uhaa Combination and drops the Masterpiece with a press slam, hits the standing moonsault, and as he leaves his feet for the shooting star Ziggler comes off the top AND HITS A ZIG ZAG! BY GOD IT HE BROKE UHAA'S NECK! The crowd starts chanting "HO-LY SHIT" repeatedly as Michael Shane connects with a dropkick and sends Ziggler over the top rope. Jimmy Jacobs comes in and immedately drops Shane with a DDT! Jacobs gets up and laughs only to turn around to a HUGE boot from Brodie Lee! Lee takes Jacobs and sends him over the top rope, and walks right into the mammoth of a man known as Ezekiel Jackson who hits the Book of Ezekiel! Jackson lets out a primal scream and looks down at Uhaa saying "F*** YOU" before dragging Masters' arm over Uhaa. The referee makes the count and this one is over.
Winners: NWA North American Champion Dolph Zigger, NWA South Beach TV Champion Jimmy Jacobs, Chris Masters and Ezekiel Jackson
Right before his big match with Sami Zayn, Steve McMichael caught up with Antonio Cesaro to get his thoughts on the remarks that Sami Zayn made earlier.
Cesaro: Apparently Sami Zayn has had some big things to say about me, and he's tried his best to take some big actions against me over the past few weeks to. But when its all said and done Sami, your simply not European enough to succeed, not like me. I'm very European, in fact I'm the greatest wrestler to ever come out of Europe. Thats why tonight, when I put you on the shelf for good with a Neutraliser, I will prove that I am more than worthy of a shot at wrestling's "Antichrist" Kyle Matthews or the American slob Bully Ray!
Match Number 6: NWA Hybrid Pro Television Title Match: "The FN Machine" Brian Cage (c) vs. Kofi Kingston.
Cage has been an unstoppable force for his entire run in Hybrid Pro so far, he has beaten everyone put in front of him, and now he has the challenge of a wrestler from South Beach to test his credentials, that being Kofi Kingston. Kingston's flying skills were a definite challenge to Cage, he more than kept up with the champion and took him down on many occasions, including getting a very close near fall with the Boom Drop. Cage's power and technical skill however were such a big challenge for Kingston to keep up with, and with the confidence flowing everything Cage went for seemed to connect as he wanted it to. Indeed the fact that Cage was able to catch Kingston in mid air when he went for Trouble in Paradise says a lot about how confident he is in his ability. Cage would shortly after deliver a Weapon X to retain his title via pinfall.
Winner (and STILL champion): "The FN Machine" Brian Cage
After the match another vignette for the GAB airs highlighting the triple threat match between Jon Moxley, NWA Ring Warriors Champion Chris Dickinson and whoever the NWA World Heavyweight champion is and transitions into an advert promoting NWA Hybrid Pro's next television show. We then head to a pretaped message from the World Tag Team Champions.
Kyle: Now many of you are wondering why we aren't fighting here tonight, or even in the state of Florida for tonight's iPPV. Simple fact is: We don't have to be anywhere we don't want to be. We are the NWA World Tag Team Champions and we fight when and where we want to. Now in two weeks, we're going to be facing three teams for these glorious belts around our waists. So let's look at the competition shall we? Adam would you like to do the honors?
Adam: Thank you my good man, let's see who we have here..ahhh "Money Inc.": Ted DiBiase Jr and Robert Roode. First things first Ted, if you had half the talent and one quarter the charisma that your father had you would have at least been Jr. Heavyweight Champion right now. Too bad that money can't buy the two things in this business that you lack. Robert Roode, you're not much better, with the exception being that you aren't as big a disappointment because you don't have this business in your blood like your tag team partner. At the Great American Bash we're going to show you that money can buy a lot of things, but it can't buy you these titles. Kyle?
Kyle: Very loquacious of you Adam, how do I follow this up? Let's see....how about I go after NWA Mexico's team: "Shocker" and Jushin "Thunder" Liger. Now Liger I really can't say anything about you because I respect everything you've done in this industry. You were a pioneer and made it possible for smaller guys like Adam and I to succeed in this industry. The only shocking thing about you is that you picked a guy named "Shocker" as your tag team partner. Dude is as old as the hills with half their accomplishments, and a nickname that translates into "1000% Handsome"....okay....first of all "Shocker", WE'RE the prettyboys in this match. Adam and I are going to take great delight in turning you 100,000% ugly. Adam, I'll let you have the final team.
Adam: Why thank you Kyle how very benevolent of you. The final team that's going to try and take our belts away from us are the newest incarnation of "The Rockstars of Wrestling", John Morrison and Jimmy Rave from our neighbors to the north of Florida: NWA Empire. I guess that since we have two brawlers, and two luchadores we had to have two spot monkeys, because everyone knows that we're the most technically sound team in this match. Rave, you have to steal your finishers from other people and Morrison gives his finishers stupid names. "Starship Pain"? "The Moonlight Drive"? What did you do go to random.org and just roll 2 dice to come up with names for your finishers? We're going to take your unoriginal asses to the woodshed in Boston. See you in Beantown boys.
Match Number 7: "Very European" Antonio Cesaro vs. Sami Zayn (Ladder Match)
Cesaro and Zayn have had a very wild rivalry in recent weeks, but this one finally came to a head here in a ladder match. And a lot was on the line, as Zayn will secure his spot in the Crossfire Cage matchup if he wins here, while Cesaro will get a shot at Kyle Matthews anytime he so wishes if he wins. While things were as wild as you would expect them to be between two heated rivals, this still was a fantastic ladder match that made full use of the stipulation, in a way it felt a lot like a modern day Razor Ramon/Shawn Michaels matchup with the chiselled machismo of Cesaro battling the showstealer Zayn who would do anything to wow the fans in attendance. Zayn proved that by taking some big risks, leaping off the ladder on a number of occasions, not to mention throwing it in Cesaro's face. Cesaro also showed some flying skill, coming off the ladder with a European Uppercut, and swinging the ladder around Giant Swing style to smack Zayn. Finally however it came down to a battle on the ladder itself, both men climbing to decide who gets the belt. Cesaro almost had Zayn down with an Uppercut, but Zayn held on, smashed Cesaro's head into the ladder and grabbed him. BRAINBUSTER OFF THE LADDER! That was insane, and Cesaro isn't moving after that. Zayn slowly climbs the ladder and grabs the briefcase before Cesaro can make it to his feet!
Winner: Sami Zayn
Before the main event a vignette highlighting the build towards the barbed wire steel cage match plays.
As Bully Ray comes down he has a mic.
Bully: I AM BULLY RAY! *crowd boos* SHUT UP! I AM THE GREATEST PROFESSIONAL WRESTLAH THAT HAS EVER STEPPED FOOT IN THIS GAWD FORSAKEN STATE OF FLORIDA. TONIGHT I COMPLETE A PLAN THAT HAS TAKEN ALMOST A YEAR TO UNFOLD, SO KYLE MATTHEWS; GET YOUR LITTLE BITCH SECURITY DETAIL DOWN HERE AND THEN I'M GONNA WHIP YOU LIKE THE LITTLE PUSSY YOU ARE!
Howard: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is our main event of the evening. It is scheduled for one fall inside of a barbed wire steel cage, and is for the NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP! *crowd cheers* Coming out now, our special guest commentators. Introducing first, from Lafayette, Lousiana; he is The Eater of Worlds, BRAY WYATT! Out with him comes a man who hails from the city of angels, he is "The Prophet" D'Angelo Dinero!
The crowd boos as "Broken Out in Love" starts playing while Bray and Dinero make their way to the ring. Dinero has a mic in hand.
Dinero: Now brother Bray I look out upon this sea of people here and I see a lot of sinners, people that were once good but have had their souls corrupted by the actions of men. What do you propose we do?
Wyatt: Well now you see my prophet I believe I have the perfect solution to this little problem. Mark LoMonaco, I'm going to be gracious like the good book told me to be, and offer you a chance to repent your sins and run. *camera focuses on Ray who shoots a double bird at our commentators*
Striker: Thank god this is on iPPV instead of television....
Wyatt: You truly are a corrupt person Mark.....and you remind me of someone.....my dear old daddy. We all know what happened to him, but you have sealed yourself an even worse fate than that shrimp boat man who once called me a little peon. Since you refuse to let us cleanse your soul the easy way, Kyle Matthews will have to do it the hard way; just like he did to the false angel Christopher Daniels *crowd cheers at the mention of Daniels* and that rusted piece of weaponry Karl Anderson. After we get finished with you tonight, all anyone will have to do to retrieve your body is follow the buzzards where they will find your bloody and battered corpse. Sing it with me folks...tiiiiiiiiiiiiiime is on my side. *laughs softly*
Wyatt and Dinero join Striker and Leonard at the announce table as Howard looks ready to announce the next person in this match.
Howard: Out next is the guest enforcer for the evening. He comes to us from Bed Stuy Do-or-Die in Brooklyn, New York and is the NWA Hybrid Pro Heavyweight Champion....DAAAAAAAAN MAFF!
Maff comes out to a chorus of boos and shakes hands with the guest commentators and then gestures at Howard that he should proceed or face dire consequences.
Howard: Out now is our guest time keeper; from Buenos Aires, Argentina he is "The Angel of Death", Azireal!
Azireal comes down to the ring as the crowd continues booing and takes his place next to the ring bell.
Howard: Now introducing the special guest referee, "The Real American" Jack Swagger!
Swagger comes out with a referee's shirt on as the crowd just continues the booing and out next comes Kyle Matthews to the loudest boos of the evening. He enters the ring and shakes Swagger's hand. Swagger gestures to the skies and slowly brings his hands down and the cage starts to lower! The cage settles into place as everyone notices the same thing: There are tables AND chairs tied to the inside of the cage! The Prophecy must have taken Bully's words to heart! We go back to Howard Schilling for the final set of introductions on the evening.
Howard: Introducing the challenger, standing in the corner to my left. Fighting out of New York, New York, standing 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighing in tonight at 323 pounds. He is a 7 time former NWA World Tag Team Champion, from NWA South Beach: BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLYY RAY!
The crowd is almost torn as to whether to cheer or boo considering the other competitor in this match so they settle on light applause.
Howard: Now standing in the corner to my right. He hails from Marietta, Georgia, stands 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs in tonight at 183 and 1/4 pounds. He is the leader of The Prophecy, and the reigning NWA HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WOOOOOOOOOOOOORLD....FROM NWA HYBRID PRO I GIVE YOU THE ANTI-CHRIST OF PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING: KYLLLLLE MAAAAATHEWS!
The crowd rains boos from the heavens as Jack Swagger takes the NWA World Heavyweight Championship holds it in front of both men and then up high for the crowd to see. Swagger gives the belt to Howard who quickly exits the ring. The cage door shuts, the bell rings and the match FINALLY starts.
Main Event: Kyle Matthews (c) vs. Bully Ray (Barbed Wire Steel Cage Match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship)
Bully Ray and Matthews circle each other before locking up. Ray pushes Matthews back to the steel and shoves him back against the ropes but Matthew's head strikes a chair! Kyle immediately goes over to Swagger to ask for a DQ but Swagger mentions that only KYLE can't use the chair. Ray breaks the meeting by unloading on Matthews with heavy body blows getting the champ down in the corner before turning his back and raising his arms up to the crowd shouting that this'll be over quick. The momentary delay allows Matthews to spring from the corner and chopblock the Bully who goes down to the canvas as Matthews starts pressing this new advantage by going to work on the knee. Matthews starts by stomping on the ankle and then remembers there's a cage around the ring so he puts Ray between the ropes and starts grinding his face against the cage as Bully starts screaming! Bully eventually gets away by elbowing Matthews in the gut and creates enough separation to get to the corner. Kyle charges in and looks for a splash but Bully sidesteps and Matthews crashes into the corner. Matthews turns around...BULLY CUTTER! Bully covers quickly and Swagger looks hesitant to count *Bully: GET DOWN HERE AND COUNT MOTHERFUCKER!* Swagger gets down...one...and a kickout. Bully gets unsteadily to his feet and backs Swagger into a corner. Kyle gets up and takes down a table from one of the walls of the cage and hits Bully with it! Kyle quickly sets up the table...and then lies down on it? What the hell is going on? Bully looks at Matthews like he's lost his mind and goes up top looking for a splash when the stipulations of the match suddenly hit him! Bully gets down off the top rope, looks at Matthews and shakes his head no. Matthews then does the unthinkable and spits in his face! What in god's name is going on inside the head of Kyle Matthews? Bully looks like he's lost it. He picks the champ up and starts throwing him around the ring like a rag doll, eventually ramming Kyle's head into the cage repeatedly and scraping it back and forth across the cage! Matthews has been split open! The champ is bleeding as Bully continues to ram Kyle's head into the cage, but Kyle eventually slips out and trips Bully Ray who falls through the table! Kyle Matthews has put the master of the tables match through a table! Matthews looks absolutely unhinged as he goes to the table and picks up a piece of it. Kyle mounts Ray and starts pounding Ray's skull with the table shard sticking out of his fist. This is sick and our Worlds Heavyweight Champion is a sadist. Now Bully Ray is bleeding.....good god that man has a laceration all the way across his forehead. This is disgusting as both competitors are now wearing the crimson mask. Matthews finally dismounts and asks the crowd how they like their Bully now. Swagger asks Ray if he'd like to continue and gets spat at in the process! Jack wipes the mix of blood and saliva off his face and Matthews gets Ray to his feet and put him in the corner and heads to the opposite end of the ring. Kyle grabs a table and sets it off to one side while Ray quickly undoes a chair and holds it loosely to his side. Matthews signals for the Slurpee Kick but Ray gets the chair up in time! Matthews dropkicks the chair as Bully ducks. Bully with a Bully Bomb! Bully doesn't go for the cover though! Ray picks Matthews up and heads to the top, it looks like he's going for a falling power bomb! IF HE HITS THIS IT'S OVER! Ray jumps off the top rope but Matthews shifts his weight and hits a face buster! MATTHEWS LOCKS ON THE HIDAKA LOCK! Bully Ray is SCREAMING in pain as Kyle keeps shouting at him to tap out. Blood is pouring down Bully's face as he's trying to claw his way out of this hold which has taken down Alberto Del Rio, Chris Dickinson and so many others. Ray is stuck in the middle of the ring...and he somehow manages to get to his feet carrying Matthews who refuses to let go! Matthews cranks on the arm and Bully manages to take about three steps before falling down and ends up inadvertantly sending Matthews through a table! Swagger looks to call for the DQ but Kyle shouts at him not to! Kyle, blood dripping into his mouth, tells Swagger to ask Bully if he quits. Swagger gets down and asks Bully Ray, who is leaving a puddle of blood on the mat, but doesn't get an answer. Swagger lifts the arm as Kyle keeps cranking the hold.....ONE! Striker and Leonard both plead for Swagger to just call the match as he raises the arm again......TWO! Kyle screams as Gargano, Whitmer, Walker, King and Titus show up on the ramp! Dinero and Wyatt leave the announce table to join Maff who has moved towards the front of the cage but Gargano's group is just standing there watching. Swagger takes his focus away from what's happening outside the ring and raises Ray's hand again......THREE! Bully Ray has passed out to the Hidaka Lock!
Winner and STILL NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION: "The Antichrist of Professional Wrestling" Kyle Matthews
The cage raises as Azireal rings the bell and gives Swagger the World Title. Matthews releases the Hidaka Lock and leaves Bully in a heap as Swagger helps him to his feet and gives him the title. Swagger and Matthews lean against the ropes as Dinero, Maff and Wyatt tell Gargano's group to come down to the ring. Gargano just smiles, walks to the back and the rest of his group follows. The Prophecy looks confused but joins together in the ring and lifts the champ on their shoulders when the lights go out! A bright white light shines on the center of the ring.
Voice: Kyle Matthews you have reigned over the NWA for almost one third of a calendar year. You started as the ray of hope and have now been consumed with darkness. It is time for you to realize the blood that is on your heads, the blood of the innocent that will rise to meet you.
Something falls from the ceiling and covers The Prophecy.....it's red liquid! The blood of the innocent is covering The Prophecy! Everyone in the ring is irate as Matt Striker and Lenny Leonard plug the tv shows for both territories as we head off the air.
