SEGMENT
Jon Moxley comes out all on his lonesome tonight, hair slicked back and wearing a black shirt and black slacks. Moxley says that on Sunday night, he gets the shot he so richly deserves, and he plans on using that shot to kill two targets. He says his qualms with Kyle Matthews are large ones, but it is only rivaled by the annoyance he feels for Chris Dickinson. He says that Dickinson has been parading around with stolen property, and it is time that Ring Warriors, the state of New York, and the entire world of wrestling learned the true meaning of justice. He says that he has educated the crowds of Florida on that very subject, but now, tonight, he is given just a trinket... a small, miniscule gesture in place of what should be his, and that's the outright return of his property. He says his Ring Warriors title should be and should forever be around his waist right now!
The fans begin to boo and chant for Dickinson, which seems to cause Moxley to have a bit of a tick, but he continues, looking a bit more incensed now.
Moxley says Chris Dickinson would have never won that championship if it had not been for the meddling of Kyle Matthews and the Prophecy, not to mention an ill fated kick by his former colleague Bobby Fish, but now is the time... NOW is when everything is made not right, but it is made fair and that is why tonight, he and Chris Dickinson will be locked inside of a steel cage, where no one of any agenda can interfere, and they will settle this like men... and Jon Moxley will deliver justice in slow, agonizing fashion to make Dickinson pay for his transgressions.
And, Chris Dickinson has heard enough, as the fans roar. Dickinson makes his way out, wearing a cut up shirt and baggy gym shorts, looking less than impressed. Dickinson has his belt over his shoulder, and a microphone in his right hand.
"Jon, Jon, Jon... Jonny."
Dickinson is laughing now, looking down as he scratches his chin.
"You want to talk about justice? You want to talk about fair? Rewind about a year and a half ago. Rewind to when I was laid up, my knee was busted, right everything was looking up for me in this business, everything seemed to be going my way... it all came crashing down one night. You know who was there for me? No one. And I thought about quitting. I thought, 'Hey, fuck this business, I'm done.' But you know something, Jon? I realized I didn't need anybody. You? You surround yourself with all of your little pals, your fuckin' buddies, and you go from promotion to bullshit promotion, and you wreak havoc and you try to take this strap, or try to work over this top guy or get under the skin of this GM or that Comissioner, and it's all just a big ploy to get what you really, truly, desperately need and that's... attention. You need attention, and you need assurance, and you need it constantly? Me? I could give a fuck. These fans? They cheer for me, and it's because I beat the shit out of assholes like you, and I'm good at it. When I made my decision to come back to this sport, it was for one goal, and one reason: to take something back! It had tried to take everything from me, these dirty ass lockerrooms, with the filth motherfuckers who inhabit them, all of them waiting with one hand out to shake and the other hand behind their backs clutching a knife, just waiting for you turn around... just waiting for you to get complacent, and then they stab it in and start to twist. Well, Chris Dickinson, "The Original Death Machine," he's the man twisting that knife now, Jon. But you, you've showed your true colors. When you get outsmarted, when you get out gunned, and things don't go your way, you start to bitch and whine, but you see, Jon, what you don't realize is just how complacent you've truly become. And what you really don't realize is how unprepared you are for the world of shit you're about to step into. You've had your little group around you too long, jerking you off, slapping you on the back, congratulating your ass and building your ego, and now you've made a big mistake. You've believed all of your own hype, all of that shit you made up about yourself, and now you're a fuckin' mark for yourself. Chris Dickinson, though, what you see here, Jon... that's real. Nothin'. No gimmick, no bullshit, just pure fucking hatred and violence, and you're up there actin' like you're really fuckin' excited to get into a steel cage with me. Heh... you'd better just hope I don't walk out your whole fuckin' face stuck to the bottom of my boots after I get done stompin' your head in... BITCH!"
Dickinson throws down the microphone, stretching his arms out and yelling at Moxley to come up the ramp and "do somethin'", as he smiles and Moxley just looks like he's really about ready to snap.

SEGMENT
Mick Foley comes to the ring, getting a huge cheer as he says it's great to be back in Poughkeepsie! After that cheap pop, he goes on to talk a bit about "TOUGHEST WARRIOR" before navigating everyone to view the screen by the entrance. There, a vignette is played for the competition, highlighting the competitors who will be involved and showing the conditions they will be staying in. It shows Shelley and Danielson instructing their new pupils, and getting everyone acclimated to their environments. After that is done, Foley then introduces the two coaches, who are coming to the ring with their chosen combatants for the evening.
Danielson gets a nice "WELCOME BACK, DRAGON!" chant, as he has been gone for maybe a month. Shelley just made his return last week in dramatic fashion, so both men are really greeted warmly, chants of "SHELLEY!" pop up noticeably. Danielson has his World Junior Heavyweight title over his shoulder.
Mick Foley first asks Danielson to introduce his competitor for the evening. Danielson says tonight he chose a kid who's from Texas, where he first cut his teeth in the business, and a man who really showed him a lot in the last few days. He has Athleticism, Charisma, and Heart... all things you need to make it in this business, and though he's been around the territories, wrestling all over, Danielson thinks he deserves a fair chance here in Ring Warriors. The man he chose to represent Team Danielson tonight is ACH!
The fans give a knowingly positive response, as he has most recently worked in neighboring promotion Hybrid Pro in New Jersey.
Foley directs his next question to Shelley, asking who he chose to represent his team tonight. Shelley says that tonight he chose a man who has gotten a couple of chances to work here in Ring Warriors, and has been working abroad for many years. He says right away he could see his determination and skill, and feels he's going to do himself and Team Shelley very proud. Tonight, representing Team Shelley is the ever mysterious, always magnificent JIGSAW!
The fans give him a solid response, as he did turn some heads with his recent try out matches.
Foley goes on to say that tonight, one of these men will lose and go home, while the other will be exempt from having to compete next week. He then says that tonight, though, the coaches will also be in action, and they will be action against each other. This gets a really big reaction. Foley says tonight, Shelley will be teaming up with Curt Hawkins, Homicide, and Tyler Black to take on Danielson, Chris Sabin, Delirious, and Kenny Omega!
This got a really, really strong reaction, as that is a huge eight man tag team match!
Foley then asks the men to shake hands, and they do so cordially... or seemingly so. As Shelley and Jigsaw turn away, Danielson BLASTS Shelley with his Junior Heavyweight championship, as ACH blindsides Jigsaw, stomping him into the corner! IT'S A SNEAK ATTACK!
"OH MY GOD!"
Danielson stomps Shelley on the outside, showing off that championship he won from Shelley in his face and yelling that he'll never, ever get it back! Security comes and breaks it up as the match begins in the ring.

TOUGHEST WARRIOR COMPETITION
SINGLES MATCH
ACH vs. Jigsaw
ACH continues to batter Jigsaw and banter him, but Jigsaw uses his speed and agility to fight back, his lanky frame giving him an advantage over the more compact Texan. ACH, however, is able to just pick his spots better, is able to win this match with the Fatality (Rope Hung Rolling Cutter) for the three count. That's one for Team Danielson!
________________________________________________________
SINGLES MATCH
Arik Cannon vs. Bobby Fish
Cannon would show some charisma here, as he worked over Fish on the mat early and played up his heel role, really grinding him with elbows and raking his eyes, trying to keep the Albany, New York native discombobulated. Fish, though, would prove to be resilient, fighting back with his stiff striking arsenal and then showing his own mat skills to punish "The Anarchist." Cannon would lose the match after trying for a Lariat, only to have Fish catch it and armdrag him, then attempt to make him Sleep With the Fishes (Jumping Roundhouse Kick), only have Cannon duck that but catch a Flying Fish Hook (High Knee) that would knock him out for the three count.
________________________________________________________
TAG TEAM MATCH
Eddie Edwards & Tony Nese vs. Trent Barreta & Zack Ryder
Edwards and Nese have both been suffering losses lately, but they always look good in their efforts; tonight was much the same. Barreta seemed to light a fire under Ryder, who hasn't been doing too hot lately himself, and the team would come out victorious, Barreta would hit a Cradle Back to Belly Piledriver on Edwards to get the win.
________________________________________________________
FOUR WAY MATCH
Alex Koslov vs. Petey Williams vs. Shawn Daivari vs. Sonjay Dutt
Koslov and Daivari have mostly been partners since joining Ring Warriors, but now they found themselves battling alongside two men who have been both partners and foes. Thus is the life of a Ring Warrior. This match would see many entertaining scenarios, as these guys who hit big tower spots and many quick hitting striking sequences, with outside dives even coming into play in all of this mayhem. Sonjay Dutt would be the man with his hand raised in the end, catching Daivari with a Moonstomp to his back as he pinned Petey Williams following a Death Valley Driver, pinning the Iranian-American for the win.
________________________________________________________
SINGLES MATCH
Eddie Kingston vs. Papadon
This was a match contended in a very King's Road-like fashion, as both guys would stick to the ground early and eventually would go to using more hard hitting moves and attempting big time suplexes to try and finish it. "The Greek God" Papadon has not had much luck since joining the ranks of Ring Warriors, but this was perhaps his most spirited outing, as managed to find a good balance with his showmanship and his ability to hit hard and wrestle of the mat. Kingston, however, would take all of the punishment Papadon could dish out, even kicking out of his Shining Wizard attack, and would make Papadon another victim of his brutal finishing Backfist to the Future. Very few kick out of that.
________________________________________________________
SINGLES MATCH
Ricochet vs. Shiima Xion
Ricochet would pick up a big win in Hybrid Pro's All Stars tournament recently, and it was enough to get him a gig here in Ring Warriors, where he had to prove himself against the ever fiery and always dangerous Shiima Xion. These two had a very well rounded lucha libre influenced match, as they showed off their ability to twist each other up in interesting submissions, but also do quick and complicated spot sequences that had the fans rattling their brains trying to keep up with the action. Ricochet would show the superior striking prowess, though, and seemed to be the more vicious and driven of the two, really wanting this win bad, as he's been in a pretty big rut since losing the World Junior Heavyweight title quite some time ago and this was the kind of match that proves he is still one of the very best in his weight class today. Ricochet would drop every jaw in the building tonight. Xion would attempt the 630 Senton that he's used a couple of times to end his matches, but would fail, and Ricochet, who also uses that move, decided to one up him, and finished this match with his Double Rotation Moonsault, taking Xion out with a big exclamation point to get his first win under the Ring Warriors banner.

SEGMENT
Backstage, Paul Heyman meets up with Stevie Richards. Heyman says that he has been impressed by Stevie, and the fans all love his work ethic, but the fact of the matter is he needs to really try and do something more. Stevie acknowledges this, as he says he has been striving and striving to pick up that big win, but nothing seems to work. Heyman says that tonight, as much as it pains him to say it... it's a make or break night. Heyman says Richards needs to get this win, or they'll have to make room on the roster for somebody else. Richards says he understands, and gets a steely look of determination on his face.
________________________________________________________
TAG TEAM MATCH
Alissa Flash & Annie Social vs. Hailey Hatred & Sara Del Rey
This match did not bode too well for Hatred and Del Rey, who are representing Ring Warriors in a four way tag team match at Great American Bash. A couple of weeks ago they managed to keep their rivalry at bay and would win a match somewhat cohesively, but it seems the cracks in this team have begun to show, and they did not seem to be so tolerant tonight. Hatred and Del Rey would nearly come to blows a number of times in this match before getting into an actual war of inside elbows when Del Rey was upset about Hatred not tagging her in. Hatred would end up losing the match for their team, her former partner Social taking her down with a Social Disorder (Splits Stunner) to get the win for her team.
________________________________________________________
SINGLES MATCH
JTG vs. Stevie Richards
Richards is up for a big challenge here, as he has to face one of the hottest talents in Ring Warriors and beat him in order to keep his job with the company. Despite his losing record, all of the fans here are behind Richards. JTG's popularity is nothing compared to these fans wanting to see Richards do the unlikely and overcome the top star. Richards fights with everything he has, kicking out of everything JTG throws at him, taking him down and trying to wrench any limb he can to try and make him submit, attempting to choke him out on a few occasions, but JTG was not here to make his charge an easy one and Richards looked like he might not succeed. JTG would miscalculate on a Flying Leg Drop, though, and that sent the fans cheering! Richards would catch him with a Stevie Kick, which staggered "Brooklyn's Flyest", before following up with the Stevie-T, but NO! JTG still kicked out! JTG would battle back with right hands, but Richards would block and hit him with chops and right hands in succession, backing JTG up in the corner. Richards try to whip him, but JTG would reverse it and looked to nail Da Shout Out (Sling Blade), but Richards twisted through it and then caught JTG right in the center of the ring with a Reverse STO! And then he brings his leg over and applies the Koji Clutch! JTG tries to roll it over, but he is too worn out and Richards has him totally under control, and with the perfect ring placement, JTG has no choice but tap out! Richards gets the victory, and everyone is chanting "STEVIE! STEVIE! STEVIE!"
JTG offers his hand afterwards, and Richards accepts in a great moment. He finally made it over that hump and got his first win in Ring Warriors, and it was a big one.

TAG TEAM MATCH
Brodie Lee & Jay Bradley vs. Drake Younger & Masada
Jay Bradley and Masada have been at odds for a few of weeks now, and it has produced some of the most hard hitting and spirited contests we have seen. These guys are true showmen, but more than that, they have a huge capacity to absorb punishment. Factor in two guys who fit a very similar bill in Brodie Lee and Drake Younger, who had a wild brawl that ended in a no contest last week, and you have a recipe for disaster; and what a truly magnificent disaster it was. There was nothing pretty in this match, and when I say that, I mean there was very seldom an actual wrestling hold applied and you didn't get any big, flashy sequences. What you had here was a good old fashioned brawl, as the big men Lee and Bradley went after two very versatile men known for their long list of death match credentials in what was a heated battle. Younger and Masada are both much more than death match wrestlers, and have proven that time and time again, leading the charge of wrestlers trying to prove themselves to be truly hybrid athletes. Masada, though, looked like he injured himself in this match, taking a nasty boot from Brodie Lee off of the apron and landing weird on the floor, sort of twisting his knee. He was out of the match for awhile, but showed true grit in coming back in, hobbling and swinging, trying to fight through the pain and finish the contest. Brodie Lee would put him down, though, with a big time Discus Lariat, driving his forearm across his face and getting the three as he chanted to himself maniacally, obviously loving the violence nature of this contest.
After the match, Brodie would go on to nail Drake Younger with his big Truck Stop (Sit-Out Spinning Side Slam). Jay Bradley would mock Masada, his bitter rival, as he laid on the mat holding his leg as medical staff came out to help him to the back. Bradley would turn around and get caught by a boot from Brodie! Obviously Brodie did not seem to care about their earlier partnership one bit, and wanted to take this opportunity to make a big point. The Rochester, New York native would grab the stunned Chicagoan by the head and bring him down, planting him with a big time Powerbomb in the center of the ring, showing his strength and dominance!
Brodie Lee sends the entire roster a big message here, getting the win and leaving the match the only man standing!

SINGLES MATCH
Antonio Cesaro vs. William Regal
Cesaro had attacked Chris Hero last week with a chair and used it to help him gain a victory, which Regal took exception too, among other things, and decided to do something about it. Now, these two very talented men were set to do battle, as Cesaro looked to live up to his claim to being the best European wrestler of all-time, and Regal just looked to put a hurting on the "Swiss Superman". Regal would take some damage early, as the explosiveness and power of Cesaro cannot be understated, but he is very crafty and intelligent in the ring, and those qualities can only be matched by his vicious streak, which would shine as he managed to chop down the legs of his very formidable foe and laid a very painful looking ground and pound attack on him. Regal would attack Cesaro's knees and elbows near maniacally, as he tried to snap them like tree limbs, bending them and twisting them, giving no heed to the pleads and screams of Cesaro, who was trying to find a way out of the torture. Cesaro would manage catch Regal with a vicious European uppercut after escaping an STF via rope-break, and that would lead him to hitting a big chop block and setting this match back in his favor. Cesaro would clamp onto Regal with a Sleeper and lift him, trying to pop his eyeballs out with the pressure of his mighty grip, but Regal would stomp his feet and bite his forearms, whatever he could do to escape Cesaro's clutches. Cesaro would not relent, though, and would keep going back to the Sleeper hold, desperately trying to impose his will on Regal and put him out, lifting him and swinging him around, but Regal would keep elbowing his ribs and grinding his chin against Cesaro's forearm bone, breaking free and attacking his knees aggressively. Cesaro would pop up as Regal tried for his Running Knee Strike, catching Regal with a Flying European Uppercut and then attempting his Gotch-style Neutralizer, but this once again put Regal in a position to attack his knee, punching it and biting it, and Cesaro decided "to Hell with that" and went right back to his Sleeper attack. Eventually, Regal was simply worn out and could not fight anymore, Cesaro swinging him around in circles as he gripped his head like a vice, the life draining from his body. The referee would call for the bell, as Cesaro dropped Regal's limp carcass to the mat.
Cesaro would put the boots to Regal, looking disgusted by the whole matched, but into the ring stormed Chris Hero! Hero twists and catches Cesaro with a major Rolling Elbow, and Cesaro goes down hard, rolling out of the ring, not wanting to scrap with Hero after such an exhaustive match! Hero then grabs a microphone and proclaims,
"The contract has been drawn up, Claudio, and at the Great American Bash, we're gonna have ourselves a rematch... and you're gonna leave the Boston Garden on a stretcher!"
Hero tosses the microphone and does an elbow strike into his hand, yelling "BOOM!" as the fans all cheer him on. Cesaro back peddles up the ramp, not looking so confidant now.

EIGHT MAN TAG TEAM MATCH
Alex Shelley, Curt Hawkins, Homicide, Tyler Black vs. Bryan Danielson, Chris Sabin, Delirious, Kenny Omega
Hawkins and Omega have been feuding for awhile now. Delirious hates Tyler Black because he wants his No Limits title back, though his vicious rampage has come up short thus far of earning him what he desires. Homicide and Chris Sabin had a match last week, where Sabin and Homicide fought nearly to the 15 minute time limit set on Homicide's Television title. Sabin decided to toss down Homicide's valet and attack him with his belt, getting himself disqualified and then tried to smash him onto the belt with his finisher, but Alex Shelley surprised everyone and made the save, superkicking his former tag team partner out of the ring. And, obviously Danielson had beaten Shelley for the title he holds now, the World Junior Heavyweight title, and is competing with Shelley as a rival coach in the "TOUGHEST WARRIOR" competition, having attacked him earlier in the night and surging some energy into what was once a very honorable rivalry. It seems Danielson thinks Shelley should just give it up and accept Danielson's the better wrestler, but that is clearly not going to happen.
I think that about sums up the score here, so let's talk a bit about the action.
Sabin wants a piece of Shelley early, as he was upset about the blindside last week and this is a showdown people have been wanting to see for some time. Nobody really knows what lead to the falling out between the Motor City Machine Guns, but it is very clear that a reunion is certainly not on the horizon, but some potentially heated battles certainly are. Sabin and Shelley light up the ring brilliantly here, with Sabin coming out on top early and mocking Shelley, but Shelley manages to one up him later to get a big rise from the crowd. We see everyone on each team get a go, as Delirious is the next in with Shelley, and then Tyler Black comes in and has a really tough time of it, as he gets beaten down by Omega, then Danielson, and then Delirious actually comes back in, but Black manages to take down Delirious long enough, reversing a Shadows Over Hell (Diving Splash to Opponent's Back) into a Double Knee Facebuster, to tag out to Homicide. Homicide was the man who originally beat Delirious for the No Limits title, and these two would really crank up the heat, laying into each other with vicious sounding chops and hard kicks. Curt Hawkins would get the tag in, but Delirious would manage to knee his way out of a Suplex attempt from him and then take him down, leading to Omega coming in and working him over hard. Hawkins would manage to send Omega would of the ring with a low bridge and that's when all Hell pretty much broke loose. The dives began, then it just got way too hard to keep up with the legal man, leading to a finisher fiesta. In the end, most of the wrestlers were battling on the outside, with Danielson and Shelley on the inside. Both men were looking for their pet moves, as Danielson would try for a Crossface Chickenwing, but Shelley would break free, looking for the Shelley Clutch (Modified Arm-wrench Inside Cradle), but Danielson would manage to get loose mid-move and tried for his LeBell Lock, but Shelley would roll through that and go for the Border City Stretch. Danielson would break out of the Border City Stretch with knee strikes, eventually tossing Shelley out onto Delirious, Omega, Hawkins, and Homicide who were brawling on the floor, scattering them as they fell about the ringside area. Danielson would turn, though, and look like a deer caught in the headlights as Tyler Black flew in and smashed him across the face with a Springboard Knee Strike! Black hooks the near leg tight, and he gets it! Black gets the pinfall over the World Junior Heavyweight champion!
That's a big win, considering Black is going to be in the Crossfire Cage match for that very belt at the Great American Bash!

RING WARRIORS TITLE
STEEL CAGE MATCH
Chris Dickinson (c) vs. Jon Moxley
Dickinson lost the last Steel Cage match he was in, losing in a very brutal feud ending battle with BJ Whitmer. Here, though, he looked even more driven to prove a point that ever before, and so did Jon Moxley. Moxley has no TOXIC help here tonight, and so far we haven't seen any signs of the Prophecy, and given the steel structure, it just seems very unlikely anyone will get involved. What we have here is a nice, even contest, and a real test to see who the better man is. Dickinson would try to pin Moxley against the ropes and brutalize his body knee strikes, shoot kicks, and chops, which is a sound strategy. Doing damage to the body like that severely hurts a man's stamina, and a well placed blow to the liver can simply knock a guy out of a match completely, and that seemed to be on Dickinson's mind here. Moxley, though, is smart and tried to cover up as best he could, but his facial expressions showed that the damage being dealt was not unsubstantial. He needed to do something, and did just that, as he began to viciously fight back with multiple headbutts, followed by wild punches and knees of his own to the body, backing up Dickinson on the other corner. Moxley would grate Dickinson's face on the steel, trying to tear his flesh before grinding his knee to the face of his head and really trying to punish him, verbally mocking him all the while. Dickinson would try to fight back, but Moxley would drop sharp elbows on him and then choke him in the corner, this match living up to every expectation of barbarism these fans could conjure. Moxley would run and blow his boot across Dickinson's face, following up by running and nailing him with a Kneescrape, laughing with his tongue out, mocking the fans as it looked like he was going on to becoming a two time champion. Dickinson would roll on the mat, trying to crawl, as Moxley began to ascend the side of the cage. Dickinson would suddenly burst, with energy, his eyes wide and he began to shake the side of the cage. Moxley kicked downward, but did not connect, as he was too far up. He tried to get over the top, but Dickinson jumped and grabbed his leg, bringing him back down. Dickinson then scales the ropes and grabs him by the waist, bringing him back to the ring with a Back Suplex!
Dickinson and Moxley were on all fours on the mat, and would exchange head butts like animals, trying to make the other stand down as blood trickled from their foreheads. This would lead to an exchange of slaps, each man connecting with one after another, each blow harder than the last. Dickinson would rush, though, and try to catch Moxley with an Exploder Suplex, but Moxley kneed his way out and caught Dickinson with a DDT. Moxley would get up, his fists up and he then began to jab Dickinson very pointedly as he got to his knees, toying with him almost before plowing a knee right under his chin! Moxley began to scale the side of the cage again, looking a bit more wobbly this time. Dickinson would stir on the mat, and "The Original Death Machine" would swing his legs and get to all fours, looking beaten but not broken. Dickinson rushes, not wasting time to shake the cage and begins climbing after Moxley. He grabs Moxley's leg to halt his progress, then keeps going, but Moxley begins battling him with elbows, trying to send him off. Dickinson starts elbowing his challenger to the kidneys, then tries to take him off the side of the cage, but Moxley actually grabs Dickinson and sweeps him off, sending them both down with a Russian Legsweep!
The fans are cheering, willing both men up after what has been a pretty grueling, physical brawl of a contest. Both men are bleeding from their foreheads, and somewhere Kyle Matthews has to be smiling, as his opponents are wearing each other down very effectively just three nights before their big main event at Great American Bash.
Dickinson and Moxley both stumble up, and Dickinson catches Moxley low with a spin kick. Dickinson tries to hit his Brain Eater (Omoplata Arm-Hook Driver) but Moxley slips out of it and lifts up Dickinson, hitting him with an Air Raid Crash! Moxley takes a bit of time to regain his composure, but he looks confidant he has done it. He attempts to climb the cage once more, but Dickinson has rolled over and begins to get up. Moxley slips a bit and laughs, but continues trying to climb. The sweat on his hands can't be helping and the blood in his eyes coupled with the head trauma can't be too good for climbing either. Dickinson pounds both fists on the mat, storms up, staggering a bit as he tries to make his way up the side of the cage. He slips for a moment, but surges afterwards and grabs Moxley's leg yet again. This time instead of trying to climb, he just keeps yanking. Moxley tries grab at Dickinson's hands to break him free, but he loses his grip and he falls... OH!! He goes down crotch first on the top rope! Dickinson then jumps sideways and catches Moxley with a Thrust Kick to the face! Moxley flips backwards, but his leg gets caught on the middle rope!
Moxley is stuck! He's trying to crunch up and grab at his leg to break free, but his mid-section has been too damaged and he can't force himself to get up. He tries with all of his might, but in comes Dickinson, seeing his opponent hung up and he begins to send more shoot kicks right into his mid-section, Moxley trapped in a Tree of Woe like predicament now and practically helpless to ward off this assault. The damage is done after a solid five or six stiff kicks, but Dickinson decides to put the topper on this cake of carnage, sending one last kick right into the face of Moxley, knocking him completely senseless!
These fans are all in a roar, chanting "WIN, DICKIE, WIN!" as Dickinson makes his way up the side of the cage. By the time Dickinson gets a leg over the top, Moxley is finally free from the ropes, though barely able to lift himself. Moxley attempts to pull himself up on the ropes as he watches Dickinson climb down the side of the cage, and then eventually hop down and touch the floor.
Chris Dickinson has retained, but one has to wonder how much damage was done in this brutal fight just days before the Great American Bash!
