IN THE RING
Frank James kicks the show off. There’s more suitcases on a table in the middle of the ring, much the same as last week, except this time they’re blue instead of red and there’s only two of them. He says there will be ANOTHER briefcase match at Blood and Thunder, that he’s now named Reel in the Gold. Like the other match there will be briefcases on poles at opposite ends of the match only this time it will be for a shot at the Undisputed Tag and the Television Tag Titles. Anyone not involved in a match for these two titles at the show already is able enter. So find yourselves a partner and do si do, or whatever the saying is.
As for the singles event, where by there will be a shot up for grabs at the Television, Brass Knuckles, Openweight, and North American Titles, all the wrestlers involved had been notified before tonight’s show, and by coincidence (or not) many of them were facing each other tonight. The full list was given below..

Mystery Wrestler
As the last one, Mystery Wrestler, appeared across the screen, he announced that a big name had signed a contract in recent days, and would make themselves known later in the night. For now though, here's a clue.. as a giant T appeared on screen. James then left as the action got underway.
SINGLES MATCH
Marisol Vilaro v Trash Oddity
The sinister looking Trash was given a look disgust from Mari as they stood opposite one another, but the ‘Grunge Rat’ didn’t care as he prowled around the ring ready for a fight. Mari took the mic and promised after this match, and her win, the man before her would hopefully feel enlightened. Maybe then he would see that he’s made some poor life choices, and join one of the millions of people worldwide that have benefited from her programs! Trash stepped up to her and snatched the mic before getting in a cheap shot as the match got underway, but no sooner had the fight begun Andrew Garrison came down to the ring and attacked him from behind. Vilaro feigned surprised at first before letting out a laugh and urging him on, before leaving the ring together.
Winner: Trash Oddity (via disqualification)

BACKSTAGE
C & C were on hand for interview. Claire said no one had come forward to face them after last week's challenge, which wasn’t surprising given they were the best team in the world, so I guess by default that makes them number one contenders to the tag titles. Along came the Rogues Gallery. They stared down the vociferous women for a moment before issuing a challenge of their own. They weren’t impressed by C & C's antics.. water pistols, sneak attacks, etc. If they want a real fight, and shot at the belts, they need to go through them, because they were ready to add more gold to their collection. C & C didn't reply, instead just parading around the corridor mimicking the Rogues as 'big serious men' flexing their muscles and walking around with their elbows out mockingly before the Rogues started a backstage brawl with them. Eventually security came along and broke it all up though.
SINGLES MATCH
Madison Lewis v Kathryn Merteuil
Newcomer Madz picked up a routine debut win last week, while the debuting Merteuil came up short in a close contest against Anya Lebeaux. Merteuil was keen to even up those win-loss columns, bending the rules at every opportunity but Madz hung on to gain control and secure back to back wins heading into Reel in the Gold.
Winner: Madison Lewis

BACKSTAGE
Kimberley Williams is psyching herself up for tonight’s match in her locker room when she’s greeted by Anya Lebeaux. Anya begins stroking Wasley, Kim’s inflatable penguin when Kimberley's slowly pulls him away. Anya is pretty excited to be teaming with Kim. She has wanted to get in the ring with her FOREVER, and thinks they are really going to hit it off. Kim politely agrees, as Anya starts asking what they should do after the show to celebrate but Kim yells out after her friend Andrew Raynes and chases after him down the corridor.
IN THE RING
Flynn Howell is out now and he cuts right to the chase. Next week he is going to defend his Junior Heavyweight title and he wants to know who his opponent is RIGHT NOW. Since Silas was too fat, he knew it wasn't going to be him. Silas Romero came out to a huge cheer with Noa Skye, the Television Tag Titles wrapped around their waists. He said he’d been inundated with people wanting that shot. Maybe that was proof that Flynn was easy to beat. The rest of the roster saw him as low hanging fruit and an opportunity to win a title. Flynn wasn't amused, urging Romero to tell him and be done with it. Maybe he’ll shed 20 pounds and face Flynn himself? Maybe Noa can face him? Noa liked that, nodding approvingly as she started firing invisible laser guns in his direction. Who knows. Either way he’ll announce it when he’s ready. Flynn wasn’t happy, as Romero left sharing a laugh with his tag partner.
SINGLES MATCH
Vivian Venture v Ginny Kayl
Both of these came away in defeat last time out, as Ginny looks to get herself back in the mix for titles following a narrow contest for the North American championship. Venture, this time without her Black Flag Caribbean Championship, didn't wait for the bell, and almost stole a quick win against the unprepared Ginny, but she came back into it and had Venture all but beaten, until one of her Cabana Boy Valets lifted her leg onto the ropes, ensuring the Referee overturned the result once her saw it. Ginny complained just long enough that Venture could sneak back in, and a Drop Anchor (Last Chancery) was the icing on the cake as celebrated her way back up the ramp by being carried in the arms of four blokes.
Winner: Vivian Venture

La Fracasada are in the office of Frank James. As the they come bursting through the door Jess makes a loud WHOOSH noise as they stand before him, flicking their capes and hair behind them. ‘Fear not! We have come to save the Tag division from its impending doom! La Fracsada will be entering the Briefcase Bonanza at Blood and a Thunder!’ Freedom Fighters then enter the room. ‘Stand back evil villains!’ yells Avery. The Freedom Fighters are not amused. They are here to project referees from harm. They fight for honour, glory, truth and justice. These impostors are demeaning them and it’s time stop. They too are going to enter the briefcase match, but they want to face La Fracasada before then. Jess and Avery move their hands in front of them with clenched fists but Frank James interjects. He says they can fight at the first night of the Supershow, in a Luchas de Apastas match. Jess says she doesn’t much care for pasta - carbs are also villainous - but James explains otherwise. It’s a wager match. And the wager in this instance is the right to be the true superheroes of Five Lakes Wrestling. The losers must remove their capes and masks. FOREVER! Freedom Fighters seems happy with this verdict, but Fracasada are still wondering where the pasta comes into it.
TAG TEAM MATCH
The Salavea Twins v The Freedom Fighters
The Salavea Twins haven’t been seen since our return from hiatus, and the inaugural Undisputed Tag Team champions were greeted to a great reception. The Freedom Fighters were also a big hit with the crowd though as this one kicked off with a high intensity. Salaveas got the upper hand but a side step from Glory sent Jacob into the turnbuckle and they made use of the swing in momentum to pick up a big win with the Stars & Stripes (Miss Liberty setting up Jacob up in a Gory bomb position with Glory doing a Springboard cutter thereafter).
Winners: The Freedom Fighters

SINGLES MATCH
David Striker v Hideo Watanabe
Striker got a huge cheer from the fans, his growing popularity notable as he made his way to the ring. He picked up where he left off last week with a strong start and weathered a reprieve from Hideo to head into next week’s title shot opportunity with this fine win, confident he’ll be one of the wrestler’s to beat. Hideo climbed to his feet and after seeing Striker stop to sign some autographs for the front row fans he followed him up the ramp and attacked him from behind. Striker didn’t see him coming and was in for an unexpected beating but Kimberley Williams came rushing down the entrance ramp to chase him with a steel chair to chase him off, the fans cheering as she did so.
Winner: David Striker
BACKSTAGE
Flynn Howell is seen in the backstage area. He's talking to someone but we don't know who. 'You and me have a common goal. And tonight we need to work together to make it happen,' he says before entering a room and out of sight to continue to the conversation in private.
SINGLES MATCH
Weston Lovejoy v Corsen Howell
Lovejoy entered the history books by becoming a champion in his Five Lakes debut, but his Television Tag Title run didn’t last as long as he’d hoped when the Red Lock Legion dethroned them one week later. Tonight was a shot at redemption as he came face to face with Corsen. The Welsh starlet was a challenging prospect for anyone and took the fight to The Broken Heart Kid but his resiliency paved the way for a solid comeback. Corsen was all out of sorts and there was no way back as it looked like but she struck a surprise with a DDT from nowhere, following it up with a a quick pinfall. A fistful of tights half way up his back in the process as Weston’s flailing legs couldn’t kick out in time. Corsen rolled out of the ring and brushed off her shoulders like it was nothing, leaving Weston to wonder how he’d let this one slip, and how the Referee had allowed it.
Winner: Corsen Howell

Trash Oddity is seen up the rafters observing the action once more. He hasn't gone home, despite his match being first on the card. He notices the camera hone in on him and makes a cut-throat gesture, as we cut back to ringside.
TAG TEAM MATCH
C & C v Wicked Grace
Claire and Coco were not their usual selves, still reeling from the backstage altercation earlier in the night. Wicked Grace took advantage and dominated this match up from the bell. It was game over for the pair after the Dark Enigma, where Darcy sweeps the opponent’s legs, and Kendra follows with a spinning heel kick to their face, but Claire distracted the Referee from making the pinfall, and in doing so regained momentum as they swept aside the furious sisters with the Get Creamed (Fireman’s Carry into a Double Knee Facebreaker).
Winners: C & C
BACKSTAGE
Kimberley Williams is backstage for an interview ahead of her match tonight, and more importantly ahead of her Brass Knuckles Title match with Jack McGrath next week. She welcomes the fans choice in making it a 'Last Kim Standing' match. The fans hate McGrath and the thousands of Kimmymaniacs will be happy to see that belt ripped from his waist and finally around hers. Emma Harrington, interviewing, asked if this was something of a revolution but she played it down. 'One day, of course, I will create a revolution but this won't be it'. McGrath is tough, she said. He beat her once before and she won’t let it happen again. What will you do if you become champion, she was asked? She says she wants to be the best Brass Knuckles champion EVER! Jack McGrath has defended every week lately. 'If I’m champion I don't want this belt defended once a week. I want it defended three, four, maybe five times a week! Make it happen Frank!' she yelled.
SINGLES MATCH
Mad Max v Ai Akina
These two have been back and forth in recent weeks after a mutual alliance went south and some bad blood was spilled in the Television Title battle royal. Next week they'll be back in the ring once more for Reel in the Gold but tonight they get to settle their difference one on one. Max came out onto the mic and asked Akina if she really wanted to do this, because in her world, they can become good friends, but in another world, they also become enemies. Akina, confused by Max's proclamations, said where she came from if someone has your back, you should have theirs too. Max shrugged, as if to say have it your way and the fight got underway. A solid back and forth ensued with both women kicking out of each other's finishers, before Akina reversed a Spinning Brainbuster into The Season Of Spring (Falcon Arrow) for a statement win ahead of next week's big opportunity.
Winner: Ai Akina

SINGLES MATCH
Andrew Garrison v Serenity Holmes
Garrison made an appearance earlier in the night, attacking Trash Oddity in his match with Marisol Vilaro. Quite why nobody seems to know as yet, but this one got underway without any fuss in the opening stages before Vilaro came to the ring and entered the commentary table. She was very cryptic on her alignment with Garrison, instead choosing to trash talk Serenity Holmes at every opportunity. Holmes, she said, was living off her family name and unlike her, was not a self-made inspirational role model. Mari was intent on getting her North American Title back some day, and when she does, she will not be defending it against the likes of Holmes. Holmes, after a difficult start, found herself on top in the match and the two began trading insults across the ropes, before Mari climbed up on the apron and slapped her across the face. That let Garrison back in who lined her up for The G Bomb (Razors Edge) only for Trash Oddity to come rushing to the ring and attack him from behind. Mari entered the ring and tried to fend him off but was sent packing with a kick to the midsection. Garrison hit back and the two began to trade blows, as Holmes got to her feet and started brawling with Mari. Eventually Garrison and Vilaro pulled themselves out of the ring and began walking back up the entrance ramp, as insults continued to be traded between the two pairings, while they exited.
Winner: No contest

NON-TITLE
Vanessa Reckless v Zara Walker
Undisputed Champion Vanessa has a minimum of three opponents for her title next week, and in this warm up she toyed with her opponent, confidently keeping Walker at bay. Zara let the red mist get the better of her as Vanessa dictated with ease, until a neat reversal switched this on its head. The crowd were willing Zara on as she edged closer to victory following a mistake from the champion, who looked certain she would be in for a shock defeat until a face full of turnbuckle and a Double Knee Backbreaker changed everything, and the champion secured a narrow win. She looked into the camera after and pointed to her belt. 'I. ALWAYS. WIN!' she yelled.
Winner: Vanessa Reckless

Up on the big screen the same letters that have been appearing all night re-emerged.

TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
Wendy Wynne v Noa Skye v Scarlett Howell
Two redheads and an alien may sound like a shit 90's sitcom but this was anything but a laughing matter as all three women beat one another around the ring, spilling onto the outside, the crowd and everywhere in between. A face full of steel steps to Noa was followed by a double suplex through the announcers table to Scarlett. Wendy was hit with a beer bottle to the face as the bloodied femme fatale's made use of everything they could throw at one another. Eventually Wendy stole the win with a Spellbound (Top Rope Meteora) on Noa, super-kicking Scarlett to the outside before she could prevent it from ending.
Winner: Wendy Wynne
TAG TEAM MATCH
Wheeler Wilkes & Ozzy Havok v Bradley St James & KURAI
Wilkes and Ozzy came out together and ripped their t-shirts off to a huge cheer, but it didn't take long for Wheeler to upset the fans as he flirted with some of the men's wives in the front row. Scarlett came out a few seconds letter to support him on the outside, and he swiftly stopped what he was doing and headed for the ring as their opponents soon followed, but this one didn't last long as they made neat tags to secure a fast victory with Ozzy's Despair Factor the final nail in the Coffin Drop. They fist bumped in the ring as Wheeler then celebrated with Scarlett on the outside.

McGrath and Samuels could not see eye to eye here, constantly arguing and squaring up to one another. Samuels, still irked that he lost his Brass Knuckles Title to McGrath some six months ago, eventually struck him with a Lariat from behind mid-match and the Rogues made full use of the situation in setting him up for a DEFCON-1 (Kneeling Powerbomb-Diving Foot Stomp combination).

Myra Rivers & Chelsea LeClair v Fem/Slash
Fem/Slash had an opportunity here to stake their claim for Tag Team title honours, and a strong start proved they could more than hold their own as many had predicted, but LeClair pulled this one back and Myra rounded off a hard fought win with a Rebel Splash (630 Splash). The champions were going to take some beating, and this performance showed why.

Gwen Margolis (c) v Avery Smith
Another defence for Margolis but this was one was harder than people anticipated, as Avery put up a hard fight. After dominating the opening five minutes some unnecessary show-boating was her undoing as Gwen rescued it back with a Blonde Ambition (Double knee backbreaker into a Crossface)
Winner: Gwen Margolis (Still Television Champion)

Andrew Raynes was with Emma Harrington for interview. He had a big opportunity tonight but it meant beating his allies to get there. He was asked about his friendship with Duke and Page. These are people I am happy to stand side by side with, he said. But tonight they stand between me and my goals. This is the business we're in. He was then asked about Rivera. ‘I don’t like Rivera. I never have and I never will,’ he replied. ‘But tonight I’ll have to put that to one side. Tonight I’ll do whatever necessary to ensure I’m in that Undisputed Title match. Even if I have to drag him there with me.’
TAG TEAM MATCH
Kore Violet & Colin Moriarty v Anya Lebaeux & Kimberley Williams
Koriandr and Moriarty get a chance to become Undisputed Tag Team champions next time out, and will have wanted to put on a display tonight and show everyone why they were worthy of that shot. Williams was recently cheated out of a victory over Violet at the Big Return and was relishing the chance to put that right. The makeshift team really hit it off as Anya made it a point to protect Kim at all costs throughout. They looked like adding more woe to Moriarty’s recent plight as Lebeaux set him up for The Trojan Horse but he pushed her away at the last second into Kore’s grasp, who sent her back in his direction but not after a bite to Anya’s neck. Moriarty choke slammed her to the mat as Kim was helpless to break the pin following an elbow smash from Violet. The power couple celebrated with motioning the tag titles around their waists, as Anya could not apologise enough to her partner for the defeat.
Winners: Kore Violet & Colin Moriarty
IN THE RING
Callie Renton was out now ahead of her match with Flynn Howell. Much like the return show she stood in the centre of the ring and offered out another open challenge to anyone in the back that wanted to face her at Blood and Thunder, reiterating once more that she did not come this far to not defend her title. She then added that if Flynn wanted to keep his word we could see a title defence tonight, for BOTH the North American and Junior Heavyweight Titles. Last time she checked she was still under 215 pounds, she joked. The Red Lock Legion then came out. Flynn had a mic. He had really wanted to defend his belt tonight but the situation had changed now and he would not be able to. The crowd jeered at his perceived cowardice. Flynn told them to shut up because that reason was his sister, Corsen, who would be taking up Callie’s open challenge for a shot at the North American Title! So for that reason it wouldn’t be fair to take her title and deny Corsen the victory she will pick up next week. Callie accepted Corsen’s offer and said Flynn could still put his belt on the line? But Flynn refused. He said he was contractually obliged to face whichever loser Silas Romero throws at him next week. Besides. Callie probably don’t weigh ENOUGH to be a Junior Heavyweight Champion! ‘Your reign is going to be short and forgettable. Just like you.’ He added, before entering the ring.
CHAMPION vs CHAMPION SHOWCASE
NON-TITLE
Callie Renton v Flynn Howell
The newly crowned Black Flag Caribbean Champion slid under the ropes and barely waited for the bell as they brawled around the ring. It was a strong back and forth and as things settled down from the chaotic start a strong display of technical and aerial wrestling began to emerge. Flynn kicked out of Callie’s The Heiress but could not move after a second a few minutes later. Corsen jumped up on the ropes to protest about nothing as her and Callie came to blows before Flynn steadily pulled himself to his feet and wearily clawed it back to steal the win after a Sitout Suplex Slam.
Winner: Flynn Howell
BACKSTAGE
Marisol Vilaro is complaining to Frank James that she was about to accept Callie Renton’s open challenge when ‘the pale people’ beat her to it. She says she deserved to be in an alternative title shot at Blood and Thunder to compensate. Serenity Holmes then appears as the two stare one another down. She tells Frank she wants a title shot of her own. She’s more than earned it, and came closer than anyone in the TV Title Battle Royal. However, if there’s a chance to ‘beat Mari round the ring instead’ she’s willing to wait. James puts his arm between the two to separate them. He says all title matches have been made for Blood and Thunder. However, he’s willing to offer an alternative. They can face each other next time out, and the winner will get a Television Title shot. Holmes likes that, Mari seems to have mixed emotions though.

All eyes are on the giant screen again as the same letters appear. This time, one by one. There's something different about this preview, and it’s clear we are going to find out what it means, as the letters start to reveal two words.

H A U N T E D
There’s an eerie silence as the crowd murmur about what it means before the screen switches to a place outside the arena. A dimly lit parking lot is where we find ourselves at the beginning of this tape, with a single street lamp illuminating a roughly 24-foot circular space of cracked and aged blacktop. A figure is seen just outside of the light radius, leaning on the pole as the camera settles in on a shot directly south of that pole.
5 Lakes Wrestling. You called, I show up. I keep things simple.
We know that voice. He pushes off the pole with some effort and walks into the shot, his facial pattern broken up by the welder’s goggles on his face. It’s none other than The Haunted, Erik Holland, but the question as he steps into the centre of the shot is–why did 5 Lakes Wrestling call this monster? What do they have planned.
In terms of our little arrangement I am only too happy to fill up my end of the bargain. I’ve heard a lot about the level of talent on your roster, how hard everybody works, and I can sit here and I can be cliche about how bad I wanna work with them–and I can start namedropping for an easy pop..
Erik lazily windmills his hand around as he discusses this, in a matter-of-fact type of way.
But here is the thing, people. I want to be the absolute best 5 Lakes Wrestling has ever seen. I want to be the cornerstone, the measuring stick, because thats how these great fans who have been behind me since DAY ZERO have seen me. Little did I think, when I was just fresh out of the mental hospital, when I was gettin’ the shit beat outta me daily by a “girlfriend” who just wanted to have her claws in my poor twisted little brain, that I’d get HERE. You think, 5 Lakes, that you have the SLIGHTEST IDEA what to throw at me to stop me?
He folds his hands together in a ‘prayer’ type pose, smiling grimly.
The body count’s gonna be high, and the ticket sales are gonna be even higher...ha ha ha ha haaaa....see you soon.
We cut back to the ringside where the crowd are cheering, and the commentators are beside themselves.

OPENWEIGHT TITLE MATCH
Ichabod Thrasher (c) v Silas Romero
After several weeks of build up Ichabod Thrasher and Silas Romero finally enter the ring for what feels like the one hundredth time. This time, though, Thrasher’s Television Title is at stake. A respectful fist bump is made before they get down to business and show exactly why they are two of the hottest properties in Five Lakes Wrestling. Neither man can stay on top for long and the fans are loving every minute of this chess match. Just as Romero appears to be closing in on a potential victory though Colin Moriarty comes rushing to the ring with a steel chair and attacks him from behind. Flynn Howell is close behind with a chair of his own as Noa Skye comes out to aid her partner but it’s evident Flynn is there to fend her off. Thrasher climbs to his feet and fights off Moriarty who exits the ring looking satisfied but the damage has been done, Silas’s title shot is dead and buried as the bell rings out. Ich helps him to his feet and demands a mic as Moriarty stands on the ramp with Flynn, both smug in their actions. Thrasher says that was a cowardly act, so here’s what he’s going to do. Next week at Blood and Thunder they’re going to run this back. Thrasher versus Romero once more time, only this time no disqualifications and whoever wants to stand around this ring and make sure it goes smooth is MORE-THAN-WELCOME! Moriarty is seething. Romero takes to the mic. He appreciates the gesture, and has a message for Flynn. He came out here tonight expecting to fire a few a shots at the Knockout Supreme. Well next week, he’s giving someone a shot, as everybody knows. Someone’s heart is getting broken and that’s Flynn’s this time because he’s going to be one on one with The Broken Heart Kid himself, Weston Lovejoy! Flynn furiously kicks the guard rail before exiting to the back as Romero and Thrasher follow behind, content they’ve had the last laugh.
Winner: Silas Romero (by disqualification - Ichabod Thrasher retains the Openweight Title)
BACKSTAGE
Brass Knuckles Champion Jack McGrath is on hand for an interview. He has a few choice words for Ryan Samuels, who will pay the price for what happened tonight. He was asked about his opponent for next week, Kimberley Williams. Kim is nothing, he says. Her only redeeming trait is that she is courageous enough to get in the ring with him. This will not end well for her. She will not be standing come the end of this match. She may never stand again.
IN THE RING
Zara Walker is backstage being consoled by Gwen Margolis after letting slip a potentially career defining win. Frank James appears and says Zara should hold her head high after that performance. In fact, he’s lined up a title shot for her next week for her efforts. She’s more than earned it. Frank walks away as Zara and Gwen hug in celebration. Zara calls after him and asks which belt. ‘Didn’t I say?’ Replies Frank. ‘The Television Title!’ Gwen and Zara look at one another, clearly taken back.
MAIN EVENT
TAG TEAM MATCH
If Rivera and Raynes win they enter the Undisputed Title match at Blood and Thunder
Alejandro Rivera & Andrew Raynes v Duke Andrews & Tiffany Lynn Page
Duke and Page came out first, naturally jeered by the fans. Page didn’t waste the opportunity to take the mic and warn everyone that this is the last time they will see her without the Undisputed Title. The time has finally come. Vanessa Reckless music then hit and out she came with the belt over her shoulder. She said nobody was taking the belt from her next week, but she wanted a front row seat to see how many people she had to beat to prove once again she was the best. As she settled herself into the commentary booth Ryan Samuels came out and said yelled HOT DAMN. He was also out to watch AJ Rivera fall on his ass and throw away a chance to lose to him again. He sat down at the commentary table next to Reckless but she got up and moved to the other end, complaining about his personal hygiene. Andrew Raynes came out next and there was a nod of the head to his allies across the ring as they all acknowledged this was just business. Alejandro Rivera’s music hit next and out came Big Papi to a big cheer. Despite his protests he was still a hit with the fans and he lingered on the entrance ramp for a moment with a mic. He cursed Frank James for tonight’s politics. Making him team with a ‘prick’ like Raynes to finally get his hands on Duke, and in turn a shot at the title. But it is what it is. Last year the fans voted him Most Likely to be a future Undisputed Champion. Well, he said, maybe it’s time to fulfil that prophecy. ‘Let’s fight!’ He yelled, as the fans went wild, before heading towards the ring. Duke and Tiff readied themselves, as Raynes stepped inside the ring to start the match. Immediately the two started arguing as the bell rang and Page took advantage of Raynes’ not paying attention and smashed his head into the turnbuckle, proceeding to switch tags with Duke as they kept Rivera at bay. Eventually Raynes recovered and pulled it back for his team, reluctantly tagging in his partner who promptly cleaned house. He finally had Duke one on one and didn’t hold back as he beat him round the ring. Page though came to the rescue with a low blow, ending any momentum he had to secure this match. On it went back and forth before Raynes broke up a potentially match winning pin from Duke. Rivera slowly crawled over and tagged him in who made use of a chaotic few moments to lock on the Caught in the Raynes on Andrews. Page was ready to rescue her man but Rivera appeared from nowhere and hit her with the Dream Shatterer. Duke held on a bit longer but couldn’t get the break he needed, succumbing to the relentless hold of Raynes, as he punched the mat in defeat. Raynes climbed to his feet and looked across the ring at Rivera. They edged closer to one another readying for a fight of their own, a cold stare between them, neither saying a word. Ryan Samuels entered the ring. He slapped Rivera on the back and attempted to raise his hand in the air sarcastically but Rivera pulled away, irked by the big man’s nonsense. Duke Andrews and Tiffany Lynn Page gathered themselves and swore blind from the entrance ramp that this was far from over, leading into next week’s title match. Meanwhile Vanessa Reckless stood on top of the announcers table and simply raised her belt in the air. She was the champion. She had what they want. They all turned and stared, turning back and forth to eye ball one another suspiciously. Next week they all enter the same ring. Five pinfalls will determine which one leaves the ring as Champion. Will Vanessa Reckless retain her belt once more? Or is this finally a changing of the guard? Only time will tell, as the six competitors hold firm in their death stares, as the night came to a close.
Winners: Alejandro Rivera & Andrew Raynes (Both qualify for the Undisputed Title match next week)
