We open up to a capacity crowd ROCKING the US Century Bank Arena. The camera immediately comes to the ring where NWA South Beach Owner Howard E. Schilling is standing in the middle of the ring with a mic.
Howard: Welcome everyone to NWA South Beach! *Crowd cheers* How's everyone tonight? *Crowd cheers because that's what they do* Let's face it, I've done good to stay away from an on air active role but I figure now is as good a time as any to spill the beans. I didn't want to ruin Spring Stampede's thunder, so here it goes. It's been the worst kept secret for a while now but I'm making it official. NWA South Beach WILL be closing down after July 10th, when we will be having our final iPPV: End of Days. Things in my personal life are rapidly changing, and I need to be focused on that to become the person I know I can be. We have two LONG months until then though; so to all the talents in the back, consider EVERY moment from now until then an audition for all the other territories. Good night everybody, enjoy the show.
The opening intro starts and we get a quick pan around before going out to our first match of the evening.
Match Number One: The All Night Express vs. The Super Smash Brothers
This was a rematch of sorts from Spring Stampede as it was The SSB who eliminated The ANX from Tag Team Turmoil. After getting eliminated Kenny King seemed to be almost indifferent to his partner, but appeared to be focused on the task at hand tonight; going at both members of the video game themed duo with a renewed intensity, barking orders to Titus when he was on the apron. Titus, in a stark contrast, wasn't his usual self; falling prey to some of the SSB's signature tag team maneuvers, but he would eventually gain control and signal for the One Night Stand. Titus, in an exact reenactment of Spring Stampede, would hoist Player Dos up for a power bomb while King would scale up to the top. King would wait perched....before delivering a dropkick to the back of Titus? What's going on? King would go on to hit a Royal Flush on Titus before leaving the ring to a chorus of boos as Dos would hit the Final Smash for the victory.
Winners: The Super Smash Brothers
After the match Kenny King would grab a mic and get in the ring.
Kenny: Rhett, Rhett, Rhett....you just didn't get it did you? You and I man, we were tag team royalty in NWA South Beach for the first six months of its existence, but April 2013 came and we lost our tag team titles....and ever since then THIS King has been living like a pauper. I'm not some Jersey Shore, beach bum wannabe Rhett; I am a King among men. If South Beach is closing soon; TRUST that Ima make you all notice Kenny King. Whoever signs me in July, get ready to open up your pocket books, because royalty don't come cheap.
King drops the mic and walks to the back as Rhett looks up bewildered at what happened. We go to commercial.
*commercial*
We come back and "This Fire Burns" is playing while CM Punk is standing in the ring. The crowd is chanting for him and "The Best in the World" has a mic.
Punk: Sooooo it's been three weeks.....three long weeks. You know I really don't know what to say. Twenty-one days ago I fought in two of the hardest matches of my life trying to regain the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. *Crowd cheers* I fought through two broken ribs and a concussion, I beat some of the best wrestlers that the NWA had to offer, but in the end I choked on the biggest stage of them all. I pride myself on out-performing everyone in this industry night after night and at Spring Stampede I just wasn't good enough. Samoa Joe, you gave me one hell of a match and you deserve to be champion; but I came out here to say that I've got to take some time off to re-evaluate some things. When I come back though, expect me to truly be, The Best in the World.
Punk drops the mic and goes to leave the ring when
Barrett: If you think that I'm just going to let you walk out of that ring without any sort of retaliation for costing me a shot at the NWA World Heavyweight Championship......THEN I'M AFRAID I'VE GOT SOME BAD NEWS! You see Punk, you were never as good as you thought you were. The critics were right, and you were protected throughout that tournament. I should have faced Samoa Joe in the finals, and I would have beaten that sweaty Samoan swine. You're nothing but an urchin who got lucky at the right time and if you had any stones you'd face me right now.
The crowd is booing as Punk stands there staring at Barrett with almost an amused expression on his face before picking the mic back up.
Punk: You know I've never really liked you brits.....you kind of tea me off...
Punk then proceeds to hit Barrett in the head with the mic and attacks Barrett! Fists and elbows are being thrown by both men as security rushes the ring to break the two men apart. The crowd chants "LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!" as both men struggle against Miami's finest. We get a replay of the promo that The Bullet club cut earlier this week before....
"Broken Out in Love" plays as The Bullet Club makes their way down to the ring and Bray Wyatt has a mic in one hand and a lantern in the other.
Bray: A few days ago I called out the heroes of this world. Go my Bullet Club! Go! SEARCH THE RING! SEE IF YOU CAN FIND ANY HEROES AROUND HERE! *PAC and Moxley search underneath the ring and keep shaking their heads* YOU CAN'T FIND ANY CAN YOU? That's because heroes are a lie man. Parents of the world you need to be role models to your children; and you need to quit telling them these lies about heroes saving them from the darkness. The only way to be saved from the darkness my children is to embrace it. *chuckles* Now Adam, Fergal, and Karl, don't think that I've forgotten about you men. You call yourselves a Militia, made of scrap iron, a paper prince and a machine gun but the thing is that a militia without a cause is doomed to fail. You're three of the best wrestlers in the NWA but you're going against something overwhelming and eternal. You can shine a light but it will be swallowed up by the darkness. So tonight, I am offering the chance to ANY THREE HEROES in that locker room back there. Stand and fight heroes!
Bray looks to the entrance way and nobody comes out.
Bray: Just as I thought....there are no heroes here, because they ain't real man....but the Bullet Club....*chuckles* that's real.
Bray and the Bullet Club get ready to leave the ring when "Engel" by Rammstein hits......and CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI COMES OUT! The Swiss Superman has come to South Beach! Claudio has a mic.
Claudio: I haf been all around the world, I haf fought many things, and I can tell you right now; ze Swiss Superman is not afraid of ze darkness. I do not stand alone eizehr. My new acquaintence believes himself to be ze greatest man who ever lived!
Austin Aries comes out! The greatest man that ever lived comes out to THUNDEROUS applause and takes the mic from Cesaro.
Austin: PAC I've held a lot of respect for you in the past, but I've been watching and your behavior as of late makes me sick! I'm going to stop this brainwashing even if I have to beat it out of you! Now let's see here....there's one...two..three of you and one...two of us. That just doesn't add up does it? Now I seem to remember you saying something about South Beach not having any heroes Bray.....but by my observation, you're wrong. Introducing the third member of our team; the NWA South Beach Champion.....CHRIS HERO!
The crowd EXPLODES as "Hero" by Foo Fighters blares over the loudspeaker and CHRIS HERO COMES OUT! Hero slaps hands with Castagnoli and Aries and the three men go to the ring. Looks like we have ourselves some six man action!
Match Number Two: The Bullet Club (Bray Wyatt, PAC, and Jon Moxley) vs. NWA South Beach Champion Chris Hero, Austin Aries, and Claudio Castagnoli
Bray Wyatt, ever the manipulator, would send Moxley in the ring to start the match. After some deliberation Claudio steps forward and we're going to get our first up close look at the Very European wrestler. They lock up and Moxley tries to overpower the Swiss Superman but that's not going to work as Claudio smirks and hits a European uppercut. Moxley rubs his jaw and fires back with one of his own. Claudio with a right to the face and sends Moxley into the ropes and PAC blind tags in. Moxley eats a HUGE discus European uppercut which sends him out of the ring. Claudio turns around and PAC connects with a big missile dropkick and covers for one. PAC tries to bring Claudio over but Aries gets the tag and starts lighting up PAC. This match went to the skies and both men went back and forth before PAC made the tag to Bray. Bray would then assert his physical dominance by coming in and launching himself at Aries, almost knocking him out of the ring. Bray would take control of the match but Aries would eventually slip out of the Bullet Club corner and make the tag to Claudio who absolutely cleaned house! Wyatt would try to find refuge on the apron but Claudio would bring him back in by dead lifting him over the top with a suplex that brought the crowd to his feet before sending him into the ropes, lifting him up and hitting Swiss Death! Castagnoli would signal for a Ricola Bomb but would go over to his corner instead and look his longtime tag partner Chris Hero in the eye before tagging him in and signaling instead for Ragnarok! Bray Wyatt would drop to his knees and spread his arms wide laughing. Claudio would turn around questioningly....before getting grabbed from behind....and hit with the Death Blow by Chris Hero! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON! Austin comes into the ring and shoves Hero, and gets a forearm strike followed by Hero's Welcome! SERIOUSLY! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? Bray, Jon and PAC are laughing as Hero crosses the ring. Bray picks up Claudio....SISTER ABIGAIL! Bray with the cover, the three, and the victory.
Winners: The Bullet Club
Moxley goes and grabs a mic as Hero kneels in front of Bray who is laughing while the crowd is booing relentlessly. Garbage is being showered upon the canvas.
Bray: Didn't I tell you? DIDN'T I TELL YOU THAT HEROES ARE DEAD MAN? HERE IS YOUR PROOF! HERE, is your champion, and even he realized that you cannot fight the darkness for long man. Speak to them my brother.
Bray hands the mic to Hero, who produces the Bullet Club mask, as the boos ring anew.
Chris Hero: You were right Bray, you've been right from the beginning because there are no heroes in this world anymore. You people sit in the stands, waiting for someone to come rescue you from all the perceived darkness in your life, never realizing that you're only there through your own faults. For three months I sat, not defending a title I worked so hard for. I wandered in the darkness wondering why management had nothing for me....until Bray came along and showed me that I had become complacent since becoming champion, and that the ONLY way to redeem myself was by embracing the darkness in the world. The life I was living before was fake.....but the life I take on now....it's real man.
*commercial*
We come back and we get a replay of Chris Hero's betrayal of his best friend and subsequent joining of The Bullet Club. Joseph Park tries to get an interview with Castagnoli backstage but Aries and Castagnoli just shut the locker room door in his face. We get highlights of the Tag Team Turmoil Match at Spring Stampede before coming back to the ring. The ref has the Tag Team Titles in his hands as The Southern Gentlemen come down, flanked by Eva Marie, to the ring as the crowd boos. The Mavericks come down to a good reaction. We go to Justin Roberts.
Justin: Ladies and Gentlemen, your main event of the evening is a LADDER MATCH to determine the NWA South Beach Tag Team Champions! Introducing team number one: accompanied to the ring by the Southern Gal Eva Marie at a combined weight of four hundred five pounds; The NWA South Beach Television Champion Adam Cole, Chuck Taylor, THE SOUTHERNNNNN GEEEEEEEENTLEMEN!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Justin: Introducing their opponents: at a combined weight of four hundred seven pounds; Johnny Gargano, Tyler Black, they are THE MAVERICKS!
The crowd cheers as the ref shows both teams the tag straps before hooking them up and letting them raise fifteen feet in the air. The bell rings and we're underway.
Main Event: The Mavericks (Johnny Gargano and Tyler Black) vs. The Southern Gentlemen (Adam Cole and Chuck Taylor). Ladder match for the South Beach Tag Team Titles
Both teams meet in the center of the ring as Howard E. and Matt Striker run down the history that the four men in the ring share. Black and Cole are nose to nose jawing with each other as Gargano and Taylor do the same. The crowd is buzzing, building to a fever pitch as Tyler points to the crowd then to the belts high in the air. The crowd is in a frenzy....something has to give....and finally the fists start flying! Gargano takes Taylor to one side of the ring and starts raining fists down on him while Black and Cole lock up and tumble to the outside. Black takes Cole over to the barricade and starts slamming his head down as the fans pat him on the back before trying for a suplex but Cole blocks and takes him over with a suplex of his own! Cole now stomps every part of Black he can reach but gets taken out by a suicide dive from Gargano! He helps Black to his feet but both men get caught as Chuckie T comes off the top with a moonsault! Taylor takes both of the Mavericks out and proceeds to grab a ladder from under the ring and, trying to end it early, sets it up in the ring and starts the climb only to get stopped by a forearm shot from Black. Tyler Black playing defense here as Cole and Gargano brawl on the outside. The ladder falls to the mat as Black takes Taylor to the canvas with a ladder assisted back suplex. Black mounts Chuck as a loud crack echoes throughout the US Century Bank Arena and the camera sees Gargano busted open on the floor, Adam Cole standing above him with a steel chair. Cole beckons Eva Marie to him and asks for something.....she hands him the Florida Key! Cole hovers over Johnny and starts digging the key into the sliced-open forehead of his nemesis! We go to commercial to the sounds of Gargano howling in pain.
*commercial*
Back from commercial and The Southern Gentlemen are in complete control of this match, working over Tyler Black while Gargano is laying in a pool of his own blood on the outside. Black is in a corner and Adam Cole is driving a ladder repeatedly into his midsection as the crowd tries their best to rally behind The Mavericks. Taylor tells Cole to get the belts and that's exactly what the Panama City Playboy does while Taylor continues with forearm shots to the chest of Tyler. Cole keeps showboating on his way up the ladder but is going unopposed! We're gonna have new tag champs! Cole is a fingertip away.....but gets stopped by a springboard dropkick by Gargano! THE WHOLE SHEBANG, BLOODIED AND BATTERED, IS BACK IN THE MATCH AND THIS CROWD HAS COME ALIVE! Cole got hotshot off the top rope and then gets caught with an enzuigiri as Black starts fighting back against Taylor. Gargano starts battering Cole's skull with forearms and takes him to a knee before hitting him with a Baby Ace Crusher! Eva Marie is doing a horrible job of acting like she's scared, I guess that's what you get for being a total diva, as Gargano slides out of the ring and brings out TWO more ladders! Gargano sets one of the ladders across the top turnbuckle and takes the ladder already in the ring and lays it down in the middle of the squared circle. Hey Johnny, the object of the match is to grab the belts! Johnny brings Adam to the top where the ladder is and perches himself precariously on top of the ladder.....HUGE SUPERPLEX! ADAM COLE LANDS BACK FIRST ON THE LADDER! THE SOUND OF FLESH MEETING STEEL ECHOES THROUGHOUT THE ARENA AS ADAM COLE'S BACK BUCKLES! GOOD GOD ADAM COLE'S BACK MIGHT DAMN WELL BE BROKEN! The crowd chants "HOLY SHIT!" as Taylor fights back against Tyler. Chuck is on the apron and trading rights and lefts with Black but takes a shoulder block to the gut....Tyler readies.....SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB TO THE FLOOR! GOOD GOD THE SOUTHERN GENTLEMEN ARE BEING SYSTEMATICALLY DECIMATED! THIS COULD BE THE MOMENT THAT TYLER BLACK HAS BEEN SEARCHING FOR! Chuck Taylor's body is convulsing on the floor as the crowd is cheering itself hoarse with shouts of "THIS IS AWESOME!". Black gets in the ring, where Gargano and Cole have rolled to the edges of the partially-bloodstained canvas, and sets a ladder up right underneath the belts. Black begins to climb AGONIZINGLY SLOW, his body wrecked with pain, as the crowd as beside itself. Black is halfway up and nobody is stirring! THIS IS YOUR MOMENT KID! MAKE YOURSELF FAMOUS! Black gets to the next to last rung....but gets stopped by a forearm to the back from Chuck Taylor! How in the hell is that man moving? Taylor fires a few more forearms to the back and Black is slumped over the top rung! Taylor climbs up, straightjackets the arms, and pushes off.....what the hell is he doing?.....DOUBLE KNEED BACKBREAKER FROM THE TOP OF THE LADDER! GOOD GRIEF THESE MEN HAVE TO BE DEAD! HOLY HELL SOMEONE SAY A PRAYER FOR THESE MEN! Black and Taylor are writhing spasmodically on the mat as the crowd settles for roaring in applause.
All of a sudden the crowd notices someone stirring....IT'S ADAM COLE! THE PANAMA CITY PLAYBOY IS GOING AFTER HIS PRIZE! Eva Marie is pounding on the mat, apparently unconcerned about breaking a nail. Cole sets the ladder back up and starts the climb, favoring his back and it's really amazing that he can walk at this point. He's halfway up when Gargano stirs and climbs up the other side. The leader of The Revolution and the man who cost him his chance at making things right are battling to decide one of the richest prizes in South Beach. Cole gets to the top and Gargano is slowly inching his way up! Cole looks down at Gargano almost in revulsion and takes a look at the titles before glancing back at Johnny and saying "die you son of a bitch".....before hitting the PANAMA SUNRISE OFF THE LADDER! THE CAT'S PAJAMAS MIGHT HAVE JUST RUN OUT OF LIVES! Cole kneels over the broken body of his adversary and says something that the cameras can't catch.....before getting hit with Piece of Mind by Tyler Black! BLACK JUST GOT REVENGE ON HIS LONGTIME FOE! Black glances up at the titles....and starts to climb! HE'S GONNA DO IT THIS TIME! The crowd is making unintelligible noises as Tyler goes rung by rung toward his goal! BLACK IS ALMOST THERE!
THE LIGHTS GO OUT!
The lights come back on...AND THE BULLET CLUB ARE IN THE RING! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? Hero has a steel chair in hand.....*CRACK!*....the sound of steel meeting flesh echoes throughout the arena again! Hero climbs up the ladder behind Black, grabs the head and jumps.....SUPER HERO'S WELCOME OFF THE LADDER! Bray, who is laughing like a mad man, goes over to Adam Cole and picks him up....and hits Sister Abigail! The crowd is booing relentlessly as PAC grabs Taylor, drags him to the ladder and climbs....FLAMING STAR PRESS! Taylor is curled up in the fetal position as PAC slaps the hands of his twisted brethren. Moxley, The Lunatic Fringe of the group, goes over to the broken body of Johnny Gargano and brings him up....then takes him back down with the Dirty Deeds. PAC and Moxley then proceed to climb the ladder and unhook the South Beach Tag Team Title belts! The bell rings! What does this mean? Are Moxley and PAC champions?
Winners (and NEW NWA South Beach Tag Team Champions): Jon Moxley and PAC?
The crowd is silent as "Broken Out in Love" echoes throughout the arena. Bray holds out his arms, Hero holds up the NWA South Beach Title, and PAC and Moxley hold up the NWA South Beach Tag Team Titles. South Beach TV closes with a close up of The Bullet Club, the apparent masters of NWA South Beach. Good night everybody, see you next week!
Howard: Welcome everyone to NWA South Beach! *Crowd cheers* How's everyone tonight? *Crowd cheers because that's what they do* Let's face it, I've done good to stay away from an on air active role but I figure now is as good a time as any to spill the beans. I didn't want to ruin Spring Stampede's thunder, so here it goes. It's been the worst kept secret for a while now but I'm making it official.

Match Number One: The All Night Express vs. The Super Smash Brothers
This was a rematch of sorts from Spring Stampede as it was The SSB who eliminated The ANX from Tag Team Turmoil. After getting eliminated Kenny King seemed to be almost indifferent to his partner, but appeared to be focused on the task at hand tonight; going at both members of the video game themed duo with a renewed intensity, barking orders to Titus when he was on the apron.

I'm not some Jersey Shore, beach bum wannabe Rhett; I am a King among men. If South Beach is closing soon; TRUST that Ima make you all notice Kenny King. Whoever signs me in July, get ready to open up your pocket books, because royalty don't come cheap.
King drops the mic and walks to the back as Rhett looks up bewildered at what happened. We go to commercial.
*commercial*
We come back and "This Fire Burns" is playing while CM Punk is standing in the ring. The crowd is chanting for him and "The Best in the World" has a mic.
Punk: Sooooo it's been three weeks.....three long weeks. You know I really don't know what to say. Twenty-one days ago I fought in two of the hardest matches of my life trying to regain the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. *Crowd cheers* I fought through two broken ribs and a concussion, I beat some of the best wrestlers that the NWA had to offer, but in the end I choked on the biggest stage of them all.

You see Punk, you were never as good as you thought you were. The critics were right, and you were protected throughout that tournament. I should have faced Samoa Joe in the finals, and I would have beaten that sweaty Samoan swine.

SEE IF YOU CAN FIND ANY HEROES AROUND HERE! *PAC and Moxley search underneath the ring and keep shaking their heads* YOU CAN'T FIND ANY CAN YOU? That's because heroes are a lie man. Parents of the world you need to be role models to your children; and you need to quit telling them these lies about heroes saving them from the darkness.

Bray looks to the entrance way and nobody comes out.

Cole beckons Eva Marie to him and asks for something.....she hands him the Florida Key! Cole hovers over Johnny and starts digging the key into the sliced-open forehead of his nemesis! We go to commercial to the sounds of Gargano howling in pain.
*commercial*
Back from commercial and The Southern Gentlemen are in complete control of this match, working over Tyler Black while Gargano is laying in a pool of his own blood on the outside. Black is in a corner and Adam Cole is driving a ladder repeatedly into his midsection as the crowd tries their best to rally behind The Mavericks. Taylor tells Cole to get the belts and that's exactly what the Panama City Playboy does while Taylor continues with forearm shots to the chest of Tyler. Cole keeps showboating on his way up the ladder but is going unopposed! We're gonna have new tag champs! Cole is a fingertip away.....but gets stopped by a springboard dropkick by Gargano! THE WHOLE SHEBANG, BLOODIED AND BATTERED, IS BACK IN THE MATCH AND THIS CROWD HAS COME ALIVE! Cole got hotshot off the top rope and then gets caught with an enzuigiri as Black starts fighting back against Taylor. Gargano starts battering Cole's skull with forearms and takes him to a knee before hitting him with a Baby Ace Crusher! Eva Marie is doing a horrible job of acting like she's scared, I guess that's what you get for being a total diva, as Gargano slides out of the ring and brings out TWO more ladders! Gargano sets one of the ladders across the top turnbuckle and takes the ladder already in the ring and lays it down in the middle of the squared circle. Hey Johnny, the object of the match is to grab the belts! Johnny brings Adam to the top where the ladder is and perches himself precariously on top of the ladder.....HUGE SUPERPLEX! ADAM COLE LANDS BACK FIRST ON THE LADDER! THE SOUND OF FLESH MEETING STEEL ECHOES THROUGHOUT THE ARENA AS ADAM COLE'S BACK BUCKLES! GOOD GOD ADAM COLE'S BACK MIGHT DAMN WELL BE BROKEN! The crowd chants "HOLY SHIT!" as Taylor fights back against Tyler. Chuck is on the apron and trading rights and lefts with Black but takes a shoulder block to the gut....Tyler readies.....SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB TO THE FLOOR! GOOD GOD THE SOUTHERN GENTLEMEN ARE BEING SYSTEMATICALLY DECIMATED! THIS COULD BE THE MOMENT THAT TYLER BLACK HAS BEEN SEARCHING FOR! Chuck Taylor's body is convulsing on the floor as the crowd is cheering itself hoarse with shouts of "THIS IS AWESOME!". Black gets in the ring, where Gargano and Cole have rolled to the edges of the partially-bloodstained canvas, and sets a ladder up right underneath the belts. Black begins to climb AGONIZINGLY SLOW, his body wrecked with pain, as the crowd as beside itself. Black is halfway up and nobody is stirring! THIS IS YOUR MOMENT KID! MAKE YOURSELF FAMOUS! Black gets to the next to last rung....but gets stopped by a forearm to the back from Chuck Taylor! How in the hell is that man moving? Taylor fires a few more forearms to the back and Black is slumped over the top rung! Taylor climbs up, straightjackets the arms, and pushes off.....what the hell is he doing?.....DOUBLE KNEED BACKBREAKER FROM THE TOP OF THE LADDER! GOOD GRIEF THESE MEN HAVE TO BE DEAD! HOLY HELL SOMEONE SAY A PRAYER FOR THESE MEN! Black and Taylor are writhing spasmodically on the mat as the crowd settles for roaring in applause.
All of a sudden the crowd notices someone stirring....IT'S ADAM COLE! THE PANAMA CITY PLAYBOY IS GOING AFTER HIS PRIZE! Eva Marie is pounding on the mat, apparently unconcerned about breaking a nail. Cole sets the ladder back up and starts the climb, favoring his back and it's really amazing that he can walk at this point. He's halfway up when Gargano stirs and climbs up the other side. The leader of The Revolution and the man who cost him his chance at making things right are battling to decide one of the richest prizes in South Beach. Cole gets to the top and Gargano is slowly inching his way up! Cole looks down at Gargano almost in revulsion and takes a look at the titles before glancing back at Johnny and saying "die you son of a bitch".....before hitting the PANAMA SUNRISE OFF THE LADDER! THE CAT'S PAJAMAS MIGHT HAVE JUST RUN OUT OF LIVES! Cole kneels over the broken body of his adversary and says something that the cameras can't catch.....before getting hit with Piece of Mind by Tyler Black! BLACK JUST GOT REVENGE ON HIS LONGTIME FOE! Black glances up at the titles....and starts to climb! HE'S GONNA DO IT THIS TIME! The crowd is making unintelligible noises as Tyler goes rung by rung toward his goal! BLACK IS ALMOST THERE!
THE LIGHTS GO OUT!
The lights come back on...AND THE BULLET CLUB ARE IN THE RING! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? Hero has a steel chair in hand.....*CRACK!*....the sound of steel meeting flesh echoes throughout the arena again! Hero climbs up the ladder behind Black, grabs the head and jumps.....SUPER HERO'S WELCOME OFF THE LADDER! Bray, who is laughing like a mad man, goes over to Adam Cole and picks him up....and hits Sister Abigail! The crowd is booing relentlessly as PAC grabs Taylor, drags him to the ladder and climbs....FLAMING STAR PRESS! Taylor is curled up in the fetal position as PAC slaps the hands of his twisted brethren. Moxley, The Lunatic Fringe of the group, goes over to the broken body of Johnny Gargano and brings him up....then takes him back down with the Dirty Deeds. PAC and Moxley then proceed to climb the ladder and unhook the South Beach Tag Team Title belts! The bell rings! What does this mean? Are Moxley and PAC champions?
Winners (and NEW NWA South Beach Tag Team Champions): Jon Moxley and PAC?
The crowd is silent as "Broken Out in Love" echoes throughout the arena. Bray holds out his arms, Hero holds up the NWA South Beach Title, and PAC and Moxley hold up the NWA South Beach Tag Team Titles. South Beach TV closes with a close up of The Bullet Club, the apparent masters of NWA South Beach. Good night everybody, see you next week!
