SEGMENT
The show begins with Paul Heyman wishing everyone a happy 4th of July, and thanks all of the veterans in attendance for their service, and says his prayers with all of those serving at home and overseas, and hopes everyone will be safe on this fine evening. The fans are all about this, obviously, and Heyman proceeds to ask them to stand for the National Anthem, and they do, and all of that goes down and it's great.
Heyman then says it is time to get down to business and says tonight he has for these fans a special treat. He goes on to proudly introduce a man who he has had the pleasure to manage in his career, and who has come here tonight for a special exhibition match... a man by the name of Antonio Cesaro!
Cesaro receives a mostly positive reaction until he begins to speak, berating the people and the competitors of Ring Warriors, which actually takes Heyman back a bit. Cesaro takes it even further, berating America and spits when he mentions Independence Day, which gets the fans chanting "USA! USA! USA!" and "FUCK CESARO! *clap, clap, clapclapclap*"
Heyman tries to talk reason to him, but Cesaro says he is the best European wrestler who has ever lived, and therefore, he is the greatest the world has ever seen. He says Sami Zayn, a lowly man who also competes with him in Hybrid Pro, a man much inferior to him, came here last week and defeated one of Ring Warriors' own. Tonight, he says he will do the same and dares any man to step to him AND PREPARE TO BE CRUSHED!
And, to the delight of the crowd... out comes CHRIS HERO! Hero says later tonight, he's going to prove once and for all that he was always the strongest member of the Kings of Wrestling, and more importantly, he's going to take his elbow and use it to shut Cesaro's big fucking mouth! The crowd is going crazy, as this match promises to be a great one!

Sonjay Dutt is able to pick up the win for his team using the Standing Shiranui on Papadon for the pinfall.

SINGLES MATCH
Brodie Lee vs. Drake Younger
This match ended in a double disqualification, as both men wouldn't relent. Lee had the superior size and strength, but Younger is a crafty veteran who's been through many of hellacious battles and just would not say die. In the end, their out of control brawling through the crowd left the referee no other option but to call for the bell.

SEGMENT
Chris Sabin is backstage, and he is preparing for his match tonight for the Television championship. He says he has been long overlooked and over shadowed, but he proved in Hybrid Pro that he is the real deal, having won their Television title tournament. He says now he is going to prove that was not a fluke. He says tonight, he wins the Ring Warriors Television title from Homicide, and then he is going to head to the Great American Bash and defeat Brian Cage, getting his belt back to become a double champion! It will be undeniable then who the true her of Detroit is, and all will have no choice but to hail Sabin!

SINGLES MATCH
Arik Cannon vs. Eddie Kingston
These two have been teaming up lately, but they wanted to see how they fared against each other in one on one battle, and that made for an interesting match. The match started off respectful, as both men took to the mat, but as everyone hoped, it turned into a heated brawl, and Kingston would manage to come out on top, dodging under a Glimmering Warlock in the end and catching Cannon with a very scary Backfist to the Future to get these fans on their feet as he earned the three count.

SINGLES MATCH
Alissa Flash vs. MsChif
"The Female Terminator" met the "The Banshee" here one on one, as Flash tried to best the very flexible, very dangerous MsChif in a mat based war. This match didn't last long, but it was good fun, as these two left everything in the ring, putting out a lot of energy and drama. Flash would end up winning the match, pulling MsChif's left leg back an unbelievable amount, knee on her head, as she forced her to tap to a deadly Half Boston Crab. Very good showing from these ladies tonight.

SEGMENT
Homicide is backstage with his valet, Shelly Martinez. Martinez says that Homicide has proven time and again that he is the hardest, the toughest, and the best, and yet he still gets doubted. Homicide goes on to say that he's come too far in this business to be disrespected by a little punk ass like Chris Sabin, who's trying to overlook him and trying to plan his big moment at the Great American Bash. Last time Homicide checked, it was his name on that card, not Chris Sabin's, and tonight, whatever thought was running through his brain makin' him think he was gonna take that from Homicide is gonna be left on the canvas... cause he's smashin' his fuckin' brains out... B-L-L-L-L-L-AT!

SINGLES MATCH
JTG vs. Shawn Daivari
Daivari has been looking very solid in tag team competition, and put on a great match here, but JTG was too fired up and all of these fans were behind him tonight. JTG would manage to catch Daivari flying off the top with his Mug Shot (Diving Facebuster), hooking the leg and getting the three count for the win.

SINGLES MATCH
Shiima Xion vs. Trent Barreta
Xion showed too much attitude and arrogance throughout, which cost him a match he may well have had in the bag. Xion was out wrestling Barreta on the mat, but got too caught up playing to the crowd and mocking his opponent, and Barreta made him pay. Xion would take too much time setting up for a Gory Bomb, which allowed Barreta to roll through, get to his feet, and catch Xion with a Shining Wizard right to the face as he was trying to get to his feet, and that was enough to keep the "Filipino Flex Factory" down for the three.

SINGLES MATCH
Delirious vs. Prince Devitt
Delirious is very cagey and elusive in the ring, as he has excellent mat wrestling ability, but Prince Devitt is a top class athlete and looked like he was really trying to come into his own tonight. Delirious would own the early going, working over Devitt's arm and trying to secure the win with his Cobra Stretch on four occasions throughout. Devitt would not go down easy, showing his grit and fighting through it, but Delirious would elbow his way out of a Prince's Throne (Fireman's Carry Double Knee Gutbuster) by attacking the injured arm, and would do the same when Devitt tried for his Bloody Sunday (Lifting Single Arm DDT), eventually reversing Devitt's Brainbuster attempt into a Fujiwara Armbar, which he would turn into the fourth and final Cobra Stretch, managing to secure the submission win in a match that was really well done.

TAG TEAM MATCH
Curt Hawkins & Masada vs. Jay Bradley & Kenny Omega
Hawkins and Omega have been in the midst of a feud, and Masada and Bradley have been at odds, so this just sort of bloomed out of that. Hawkins and Masada were definitely the fan favorites as they tried to overcome the aggressive and rule bending tactics of their opponents tonight. Bradley and Masada had these fans chanting "THIS IS AWESOME!" with their stiff back and forth punching and knee strikes, the sound of flesh being brutalized echoing throughout the arena. Omega would make a tactical error as Bradley and Masada were on the outside, toying with and mocking Hawkins too much as he felt he had the win in hand. Omega would pose and posture for a big Hadouken attempt, but as he turned to taunt to the fans with his theatrics, Masada managed to catch him with a Moonsault Press, shocking the Canadian star and pinning him to the mat for the three count! The fans loved that, as Masada showed he's got more than a few tricks up his sleeve and Omega was more than just a little humiliated.

SINGLES MATCH
Bobby Fish vs. Jon Moxley
Bobby Fish was somewhat ceremoniously removed from TOXIC last week, and he Chris Dickinson battled Jon Moxley and Sami Callihan as a result of it. Tonight, he had a chance to take on his former ring leader and firmly establish himself as a singles entity, while Moxley also came out alone, maybe trying to prove something himself. Moxley, a former Ring Warriors champion, is a very smart worker and is able to use psychology to his advantage, playing mind games with Fish by trying to manipulate the pace and keep him from being able to use his strengths. Fish is an excellent striker, and can do a good bit of high flying, so Moxley really wanted to test his meddle on the ground, as he knew that was his best bet of making his way out of this with a win. Fish is very competent on the mat, but Moxley is absolutely vicious and cunning, and would use his animalistic tendencies to really try to grate into Fish and get the advantage over him. Fish would rally for many minutes in the end, staggering Moxley and beating on him all around the ring, but Moxley was able to avoid Sleeping With the Fishes (Jumping Roundhouse Kick), and rolled up Fish with a quick School Boy, pushing him through and to his knees where he would plow him with a Knee Strike straight to the jaw! Moxley would then pin Fish with a Jacknife Roll-Up, his tongue sticking out as deranged look came across his face, knowing he narrowly escaped defeat and knowing he just chalked one up for the bad guys. He is most certainly a man these fans love to hate, as he looked very good here.

SINGLES MATCH
Antonio Cesaro vs. Chris Hero
Cesaro and Hero have a very calculated contest, as one might expect from two former tag team partners and two wrestlers of their high acumen. Cesaro begins to feel the pressure from Hero, who is able to land some pretty big shots and has the "Swiss Superman" staggered a bit. Cesaro begins to really bend the rules, using the ropes for leverage and choking Hero, trying to cut any corners he can to not embarrass himself and make good on his promise to win this match. Hero has the fans solidly behind him, and looks like he might have the win, loading up that elbow to deliver a death blow to Cesaro, but Antonio manages to pull the referee in front of the impact, saving the match for him! Cesaro low blows Hero, and then whips him off the ropes, nailing the Swiss Death (Flapjack European Uppercut)! Cesaro then goes out of the ring, grabbing a chair and sliding it in. He then picks up Hero, and nails him with the Gotch-style Neutralizer, pancaking him right on the steel! Cesaro drags the referee over, and the ref makes the slowest three count ever, but he could've counted to ten. Hero was out cold, and these fans are booing wildly. Cesaro has stolen one!
Cesaro mocks Hero, and begins to stomp him on the mat, laughing and posing, until one man has seen enough... and that man is WILLIAM REGAL! Regal tosses down his headset, as Joey Styles, "Oh God, not AGAIN! WILLIAM, BE CAREFUL!" But William Regal manages to tackle Cesaro down and he's throwing lefts and rights, pummeling the Swiss superstar, and these fans are going crazy! The wily Brit is finally pulled off of Cesaro by the ring crew, but Cesaro looks infuriated. Chris Hero comes to, and realizes what has happened, and he looks like he could kill Cesaro with the stare emanating from his eyes.
This is far from over.

SINGLES MATCH
Chris Sabin vs. Homicide (c) w/ Shelly Martinez
Shelly cheers her man on as he looks good early, hanging with Sabin hold for hold and is able to actually get him down for a one count with a roll-up. Sabin manages to turn up the heat with some blistering blows, but Homicide is tough enough to hang and looks to do so, racking up more near falls with his wide array of offensive and defensive attacks. Sabin starts to look pretty desperate, taking "The Notorious 187" down and trying anything to make him tap, tying him up any way he can and trying to keep him from the ropes, but with Martinez and these fans cheering him on, Homicide just won't go down! Homicide gets rolling big time, hitting a big Lariat, followed by his Ace Crusher, but Sabin manages to reverse a Cop Killa attempt into a Dragon Suplex for a near two count. With the 15 minute time limit approaching, Sabin decides he'd rather come out looking like the winner than just lose the match to a draw, heading to the outside and grabbing Homicide's belt, shoving Martinez to the ground as she tries to stop him and then blasting Homicide right to the face with it!
Sabin gloats with the belt as the referee calls for the bell. Sabin then puts the belt down, and picks up Homicide, looking to nail his Double Underhook Piledriver right on the plate of it, but out from the back runs ALEX SHELLEY!
ALEX SHELLEY HAS MADE HIS RETURN TO RING WARRIORS!
Sabin sees this and lets go of Homicide, trying to catch Shelley coming with right hands, but Shelley manages to take him down and begin to pummel him with strikes. Shelley jumps up, ripping off his shirt and throwing it to the crowd. Sabin stumbles up, and Shelley catches him with a Superkick that sends him flying over the ropes, jumping and taunting as these fans go crazy for the former World Junior Heavyweight champion and first ever Ring Warriors champion!
Sabin retreats, knowing he has lost this battle. Shelley picks up Homicide, holding up his arm and handing him his belt, as these fans chant "SHELLEY! SHELLEY! SHELLEY!" and this show comes to an exciting end.
