[YT]wnWILUkHjgo[/YT]​

Hart: Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to the last stop before Born 2 Bleed, live, Monday Mayhem.

Lane: I should have been the one making the introduction but nonetheless, like my partner just said, tonight promises to be a hell of an event, great action, and I will be, along with all of you, seeing this action ringside.

Hart: Well then, let's get this going.


How Do You Like Me Now plays from the speakers, and the United Envies walk out down the ramp and to the ring.

Lane: Here is one half of the United Envies. Ironically enough, the other half of the Envies are the Tag Team Champions.

Hart: If they win the match tonight, they will be challenging their stablemates at Born 2 Bleed.

Lane: That would definitely be an interesting situation.

Jessica Lock: Introducing first, weighing a combined weight of 490 lbs, from Across The Sea, the United Envies.

Another Brick In The Wall plays, and Brett Marshall and Hitman walk down the ramp to the ring confidently. Both men climb up into the ring, then get up onto the turnbuckles and pose.

Lane: These two kids are the protégés of CMS, and although they haven’t been here long they could be looking at a Tag Title shot.

Hart: They are very talented, that’s why they roll with CMS. They have to be a big chance in this match.

Jessica Lock: Weighing a combined weight of 449 lbs, the team of Hitman and Brett Marshall.

I’m a Hustler plays, and the Age of Dawn walk out to the top of the ramp while smoke flies around them. They pose, then walk down the ramp, and climb into the ring, facing off with their opponents.

Lane: Another team who is new here to IWF, but they could make a big impact with a win tonight.

Hart: And I have liked what I have seen of the Age of Dawn so far.

Jessica Lock: Their opponents, weighing a combined weight of 440 lbs, the team of Tha Krow and Tha Spider, the Age of Dawn.

Number One Contender for IWF Tag Team Championships
Triple Threat Tag Team Match
United Envies vs Brett Marshall and Hitman vs Age of Dawn​

The referee calls for the bell, and both of Hitman and Marshall immediately leave the ring, not wanting to start out. Tha Spider and Rory Taylor then both leave the ring, leaving Lane Evans and Tha Krow to start off. Both men circle around the ring, then lock up. Evans takes the early advantage, as he takes the arm of Tha Krow and then twists it, applying a wristlock. Evans then pulls Tha Krow into a side headlock, and wrenches hard on the hold. Tha Krow quickly looks to get out, and he pushes Evans off. Evans runs at the ropes, then bounces off them and goes for a shoulder tackle, but neither man goes down.

Lane: It seems that Lance Evans and Tha Spider are evenly matched in terms of strength.

Evans then runs at the ropes again, and as he bounces off them, Taylor makes a blind tag. Evans runs at Tha Spider and sees him set for a back body drop, so he kicks him in the jaw. Evans then takes Tha Spider up with a scoop, before slamming him down. Taylor then runs at the ropes, bounces off them, and hits an elbow drop. Taylor hooks the leg, but the referee is busy getting Evans to leave the ring. Tha Krow then comes in and breaks up the pin attempt with a kick to the side of the head of Taylor.

Hart: That’s smart there from Tha Krow. You have to work as a team.

Lane: Well we are also yet to see either of Hitman or Brett Marshall enter the ring.

Hart: And that’s smart strategy. Why wear yourself out?

Taylor gets up a little groggily, and Tha Spider then gets up after him, and rakes his eye. Tha Spider then runs at the ropes, bounces off them, and executes a spin kick which gets Taylor in the head. Tha Spider quickly runs at the ropes, then springboards off with a leg drop. Tha Spider makes the cover, 1...2. Evans breaks up the pin. The referee goers after Evans and makes him leave the ring, while Tha Spider starts to choke away on Taylor. The referee finally turns around, and sees this going on. 1...2...3...4. Tha Spider breaks the hold, then walks over and tags Tha Krow in. Tha Krow comes into the ring and stomps away on Taylor.

Hart: This is the type of intensity it takes to win gold.

Tha Krow then picks Taylor back up with a smile on his face. The crowd boos, and Tha Krow Irish whips Taylor into the corner, before charging in after him and going for an elbow. Taylor is able to dodge this move however, then kick Tha Krow in the mid-section when he turns. Taylor then runs at the ropes, bounces off them, and hits a bulldog. Both men are down, and they slowly start to crawl to their corners. They get closer and closer, until both make the tags.

Lane: There are the tags.

Hart: Let’s see who can take over now.

Tha Spider and Lance Evans run into the ring, both men fresh. They charge towards one another, and Evans strikes first with a series of chops that send Tha Spider back against the ropes. Evans then sends Tha Spider off with an Irish whip. Tha Spider runs at the ropes, then bounces off them, before getting caught with a reverse elbow to the jaw. Evans then runs at the ropes, bounces off them, and lands a leg drop, before making the cover, 1...2. Tha Spider kicks out. Evans gets back to his feet, and he sees both Marshall and Hitman charging at him, before going for a double clothesline, but Evans is able to duck that, then run at the ropes, bounce off them, and hit a double flying clothesline on both men.

Lane: Lance Evans is on top!

Hart: But will he be able to keep it up?

Lane: We will find out.

Hitman rolls across to the ropes, then picks himself up. Evans then charges across and nails him with a clothesline, sending him out over the top rope. Evans then turns around and sees Marshall go for a clothesline on him, but he ducks it and goes behind Marshall, before hitting an atomic drop that sends him out to the floor. Tha Krow climbs back into the ring and charges at Evans, but he gets caught with a dropkick.

Lane: Lance Evans has completely cleaned house!

Hart: Will he be able to finish the job though?

Evans turns around, and Tha Spider kicks him in the mid-section, then runs at the ropes, and springboards off for a cross body, only to be caught with a superkick from Evans. Evans knows he is on top, as the crowd cheer. He then goes to the corner and climbs to the top rope. He looks set to jump, when Hitman climbs up onto the apron and tags himself in.

Lane: Did Hitman just get the tag?

Hart: He did, but I’m not sure if Lance Evans has noticed.

Evans comes off the top rope, and lands a leg drop across the throat of Tha Spider. He pulls himself to his feet, when Hitman runs into the ring, then grabs Evans and throws him over the top rope to the floor. Hitman then picks Tha Spider up, before setting him up, and nailing him with Da Cop Killa. Hitman hooks his leg, 1...2...3.

Result: Hitman pins Tha Spider.

Lane: Neither Hitman nor Marshall were the legal man until the very end, yet they pick up the victory.

Hart: And that’s what you call smart wrestling. It’s obvious CMS has already been teaching them.

Lane: I can’t argue the results, but it was risky from the two protégés of the Intercontinental Champion.

Hart: Well just think, after Born 2 Bleed, there could be both the Intercontinental Championships, and the Tag Team Championships with this little stable CMS has going.

Lane: I fear that may be true.

Hart: Why would you fear it? It would be great!


Edward Redding is shown in his office shuffling papers when his phone rings. Redding looks at the caller ID and doesn't answer it. He continues with what he was doing as his door swings open.

Edward Redding III: Hey, come on now im busy.

DJ Primetime: Redding, I want Montana, and i want him Tonight! People in the back seem to think primetime is some chump, I'm not going down like that. Last week i tasted my own blood, now i want Montana to taste his own blood.

Edward Redding III: I'm afraid Montana didn't make his flight due to....well what he calls "Lack of competition" But i tell you what, I'll give you a match tonight, so the world can see what Primetime can do. Consider it a warm up match. I will get in touch with Montana's peoples. If you win tonight, i will make sure Montana will be at Born 2 Bleed and it will be you two, one on one. How about that?

DJ Primetime: They are right about what they say about you redding.

Edward Redding: What do they say???

DJ primetime just looks at Redding and gives him a smirk as he exits.

Kerry: Next up is the in ring debut of DJ Primetime!

Josh Hart: He looks a little banged up for from last week, but i give him credit for coming out this week.

Kerry: Well, he will be facing local star Jay Adams

Josh: Ah yes, should be a competitve matchup here tonight. I'm interested to see what strategy Primetime will use.

Playing with Fire plays over the crowd as Primetime cockily makes his way down to the ring. He slides in the ring and makes a V-1 Symbol on the second rope as he looks out to the crowd. Jay Adams hops a few times as he gets ready for a fight. The referee explains the rules to both men.

DJ Primetime vs Jay Adams​

The bell sounds and DJ Primetime charges as Jay Adams with a big superkick. Adams leaps out of the way, but Primetime quickly recovers and checks himself. Both men are ready to lock up when Primetime charges in with a big right hand sending Jay Adams rolling back. Primetime quickly grabs his leg and locks on a ankle lock. Jay scrabbles to the ropes before Primetime could make really put the pressure on.

Primetime allows Adams to get up. Both men circle again as Primetime steps him with some side kicks to jay adams mid section. Primetime pushes him to the corner and does a four hit boxing combo with 3 hooks to the stomach and a uppercut that sends Adams to the ground. Primetime pulls him up and tosses him across the ring. Adams flies in with a big clothesline in the other corner. Adams drops to his knees and attempts to get up when Primetime locks on a full nelson. Primetime locks him in the hold for about 10 seconds while jay adams tries to fight it off. As Jay adams slows down, primetime lifts him up and slams him into the mat. Primetime goes for the pin. 1........2......3

Jessica: Your winner, DJ Primetime

Josh: Primetime did look impressive here tonight.

Kerry: Well, he did tonight, but how will he fare at Born to Bleed when he faces Montana.

Josh: Time will tell Kerry.


We go backstage and we see CMS, Brett Marshall and Hitman sitting in CMS's locker room.

CMS: Hey guys, congratulations on winning that Number One Contender's Match. I told you that being aligned with me brought you gold, and this Sunday, it will.

Hitman: Yeah man, thank you, and now we will bring tag team gold to the team.

Brett Marshall: Guaranteed. Hey, but, and way, way more important.

Hitman: Way.

Brett: Have you thought of your tag team partner, or, will you tell us who he is, I mean, you didn't leave it exactly clear the other day back at McDonals, because let me tell you, if you are still searching for one, any of us can pull double duty and...

CMS: Oh don't worry, believe me, I know who my partner will be, and very soon, he'll know it too.

CMS, Hitman and Marshall smile and laugh afterwards.

Kerry Lane: This next match, is turning out to be an epic battle here in the IWF, with KnicKy and Hayes once again back at each other, ready to battle it out!

Josh Hart: We have heard from Hayes, as well as Knicky this week, and both men are going into this match with something to prove. It is going to be a true "who is the better man" battle here tonight Kerry!

Jessica Lock: Making his way to the ring, from Las Vedas, Nevada, standing 6 ft 2 and weighing in at 225 lbs, Shawn Alexander Hayes!!!

Trust Company's "Running from me" filters through the arena, as the lights dim. Smoke snakes along the stage. A red strobe light flickers, making the smoke dance with shades of scarlet. Blood red pyro explodes, the sparks swirling down to be consumed in the smoke. A faint silhouette appears in the fog, and Hayes materializes from the smoke. He saunters down the ramp, slapping away the hands of fans who reach out to touch him. He climbs the steps and ducks under the top rope, He climbs the turnbuckle, and taunts in the direction of the stage.

Josh Hart: Well Hayes looks like he arrived tonight ready to get things under way as soon as possible.

Kerry Lane: He may not feel that way once The Australian Hero gets out here.

Jessica Lock: Making his way to the ring, from Brisbane, Australia, standing 5 ft 10 and weighing in at 225 lbs, KnicKy!!!

Downfall by Trust Company blares throughout the speakers, and onto the stage comes KnicKy. Spinning in circles as he makes his way to the centre of the stage, he stops and looks at the crowd, acknowledging them all. He drops down to his knees, and leans forwards, not in prayer, but in thought, and throws his hands up looking at the crowd and arena roof. He lowers his hands and looks at the crowd, before climbing to his feet and walking down towards the ring. He steps up onto the apron, and steps between the ropes as he walks across the ring, to the far turnbuckle. He claps his hands a few times, and thanks the crowd, before returning to the centre of the ring.
Hayes, who had previously been leaning on the ropes, awaiting Knicky in the ring, holds up a hand, and walks over toward Jessica Lock. He reaches his hand out for her microphone.

Hayes: May I?

Kerry Lane: Well this is interesting, it appears Hayes has something to say.

Josh Hart: So why dont you pipe down so we can hear him Kerry?

Jessica hands over her microphone, and Hayes turns back towards KnicKy.The walk toward the middle of the ring, and Hayes raises the microphone and begins to speak.

Hayes: At last, Knicky, the time to find out which of us is the better, the stronger, the most dominant, has arrived. I just want to inform you, that it gives me no pleasure knowing that In order for me to advance to my rightful place as champion of this company, I must destroy you. I hope its a consolation to you, knowing that after I beat you in this match, that you will not be forgotten. When people reminisce about some of the greatest in this business, your name will be prominent among them. It is my calling, as that of IWFs Legend Killer, and you are helpless to stop it.

Kerry Lane: Harsh words from Hayes.

Knicky extends his hand, and Hayes hands the mic over to him.

Knicky: You are correct in saying that this is going to be the match that proves which one of us is the better man Hayes. But thats the only thing you got right. Because you see, I have no intention of being the stepping stone you use on your way to the top. I have BEEN there Hayes, and I have taken everything this company has to throw at me, and I have come out on top. I have accomplished all of this, by putting my blood, sweat, and soul into everything I do in that ring. I have no question that you are talented and you a great future ahead of you. You have accomplished many great things in this company, but what you fail to accept, is that I am STILL one of the greatest in this business, and in order for you to succeed in your 'calling', you are going to have to do what countless men have failed to do. Beat me.

Kerry Lane: And that is the absolute truth, straight from the mouth of Knicky.

Josh Hart: Well if anyone is going to be able to pull off the win over Knicky, it's IWF's Legend Killer!

Knicky hands the microphone to the referee, who tosses the mic out and signals for the bell.

Knicky vs Hayes​

[Bell Rings]​

As soon as the bell rings, Knicky gets a boot up into the mid section of Hayes and follows it with a right hand to the back of the head. Hayes rells back, catching his balance and begins to fire back with some right hands of his own. Knicky swings again, Hayes ducks it and catches Knicky in a side headlock. Knicky pulls back and bounces off the ropes, shoving Hayes away from him, and Hayes hits the opposite rope and comes flying back. The two men both try for a shoulder block, and end up crashing to a dead halt in the middle of the ring.

Kerry Lane: Both men had the same idea, and the impact of that crash in the ring was huge! Yet both men are still standing.

Josh Hart: This is like two bulls locking horns here Kerry!

Knicky and Hayes circle each other in center of the ring, before Hayes delivers a swift kick into Knicky's mid section, grabs his arm and throws him into the ropes. Knicky comes flying back, and Hayes goes for a hip toss, but Knicky blocks it, and goes for a clothesline, which Hayes ducks, and Hayes hits a roundhouse kick to the sternum of Knicky. Hayes runs to the rope, bounces back and hits a clothesline to the back of Knickys head. Knicky appears to be reeling, as Hayes runs into the ropes and tries for another clothesline, but Knicky ducks and Hayes flies into the opposite ropes, and Knicky rushes and hits him with lariat, and Hayes goes down and rolls out under the bottom rope. Hayes leans on the barrier, catching his breathe, before he walks around to the other side of the ring and tries to leap back onto the apron. Knicky rushes forward and kicks Hayes off the apron. Hayes falls to the floor and rolls coming up on one knee. In the ring, Knicky backpedals into the ropes and runs across the mat, and leaps, sailing between the middle and top ropes, hitting Hayes with a flying clothesline.

Kerry Lane: What a move by The Australian Hero!

Josh Hart: Too bad you cant win the match from the OUTSIDE Kerry.

Knicky pulls Hayes up and tries to irish whip him into the barrier, but Hayes reverses, sending Knicky crashing into the barrier.Hayes races towards Knicky but Knicky dodges the boot of Hayes, and grabs the back of his head, sending him over the barrier and into the crowd.

Kerry Lane: Get out of the way fans!

Josh Hart: See that Kerry, Knicky keeps pushing Hayes further and further away from the ring, because he doesnt want to be the next victim of The Legend Killer!

Knicky grabs Hayes and tosses him back over the barrier, and throws a leg over. Hayes leaps to his feet, rushes Knicky and grabs hold, executing a textbook DDT. Hayes then climbs up onto the barrier.

Kerry Lane: What the hell is Hayes going to do next? Wheres the ref with the 10 count?

Josh Hart: The referee knows, Kerry, that this is an epic match and there must be a winner, and lucky for us, and all the fans, he has decided to be more leniant than is customary. And it looks to me like Hayes is taking the next step to make Knicky IWF history!

Hayes crouches on the barrier, as Knicky gets unsteadily to his feet, and Hayes then flies through the air, once again looking to take Knicky down, but Knicky catches him in mid-air, using Hayes' own momentum as he twists Hayes position, into a belly to belly suplex, and Hayes crashes to the floor.

Josh Hart: Oh my god, is Hayes ok!?

Kerry Lane: Of course hes not OK, Josh he just got his spine drilled into the mat right in front of our announce table!

Knicky pulls Hayes up and rolls him back into the ring, and goes for a cover. He gets a 2.

Josh Hart: I knew hed kick out Kerry! You cant take down the Legend Killer of the IWF that easily Knicky!

Knicky pulls Hayes to his feet and hits a scoop slam, and then hits a leg drop across the throat. Knicky gets to his feet and begins to climb the ropes.

Kerry Lane: The Australian Hero is about to fly Josh!

Knicky measures Hayes across the ring and goes for the flying headbutt, but Hayes rolls out of the way.

Josh Hart: I knew that would happen...

Kerry Lane: You did not! How could you know that!?

Josh Hart: Knicky's not wearing a cape. Everyone knows, unless you are a super-hero WITH a cape, you cant fly.

Hayes gets to his feet, and sneers down at Knicky, and stomps on his knee. He walks arund the fallen Knicky, stomping on every appendage within reach, ending with a vicious stomp to the sternum. Hayes sneer down at Knicky and turns and walks to the ropes, sneering at the fans. he leans over, mocking them

Hayes: Who's your hero now? That's right, once I dispose of Knicky, I will not only destroy his legacy, I will take over as the new Hero of the IWF, in addition to the Legend Killer!

Kerry Lane: Hayes will never be MY hero.

Josh Hart: Quiet Kerry, or you will end up like Scott. GO HAYES!

Hayes turns back and saunters towards Knicky, who is still clutching his chest, but now sitting in an upright position. Hayes grins and back pedals into the ropes, and rushes towards Knicky. As Hayes hits the ropes, Knicky quickly maneuvers to the side, and catches Hayes with a drop toe hold, Hayes hits the mat, and Knicky quickly moves into postition, locking Hayes into the Crippler Crossface.

Kerry Lane: Knicky has Hayes in the Crippler Crossface! How you like that Josh! Huh? Whos the hero? Thats right! Go Knicky!

Knicky jerks back on the neck of Hayes, arching his back. Hayes is screaming in pain. He tries dragging himself towards the ropes. The ref is asking if he wants to quit. Hayes is shaking his head. He gets up on his elbows and begins inching his way towards the ropes. He makes it closer, and Knicky jerks backwards again, and Hayes stretches his arm out, his fingers barely brushing the rope.

Josh Hart: Come on Hayes, youre almost there! Just a little bit farther!

Sweat is pouring down the face of Hayes as he makes it to his elbows once more. Knicky pulls back, his back arched almost bow like, and Hayes collapses back to the mat, still shaking his head at the ref.

Kerry Lane: Hayes needs to tap, hes going to pass out from the pain! Just tap Hayes!

Josh Hart: No, Hayes, fight, you've almost got it!

Hayes eyes are beginning to roll up, his face is bright red, and sweat is still dripping. Knicky makes a move to once again torque the neck, and his arm slips on the perspiration, and Hayes scrambles forward and latches onto the rope.

Josh Hart: YES! Break the hold Knicky, Hayes has the ropes!

Kerry Lane: Knicky has to release the hold, he doesn't want to be DQd.

The ref is slapping the arm of Knicky, and Knicky jerks back once more, before releasing Hayes. Hayes immediately rolls out of the ring, rubbing his throat. He stumbles around the ring as far as Knicky as possible and leans on the barrier, catching his breathe. Kncike rolls to his feet, his adrenaline pumping and turns in Hayes direction, drawing his thumb across his throat. Hayes face turns twists in anger, and he makes a move towards the ring. The ref is leaning over the ropes, ordering Hayes to get back in the ring. Hayes stalks the length of the ring, snarling at the fans, and staring daggers at Knicky.

Josh Hart: If looks could kill, Knicky would be pushing up daisies.

Kerry Lane: Too bad for Hayes it takes more than a mean look to win matches.

Knicky walks towards the ropes, beside the referee, who is still ordering Hayes to return to the ring, and puts one leg through the ropes. The ref turn from hayes and pushes Knicky back into the ring, ordering him not to leave it. He turns back to Hayes and starts the 10 count.

Kerry Lane: The ref has had enough of the antics of these two, and if I were Hayes I wouldnt test him anymore.

Knicky paces in frustration, anxious to get things back under way, and walks up badgering the ref when all of a sudden a man in a black hoodie with the hood on, his face obscured, hops the barricade and slides into the ring behind Knicky.

Kerry Lane: Who the hell is that, what is he doing in the ring?

The man unzips his hoodie, and revelas a shimmer of gold, and pulls the hood from his face.

Josh Hart:: Its MNM!! The IWF Champion is in the ring!

Kerry Lane: What in the hell is he doing here?! He has no business in this match! Knicky turn around! Look behind you!

MNM removes his IWF championship belt. Hayes sees what is transpiring and jumps onto the apron, grabbing the ref by his shirt. Knicky sees Hayes looking over his shouler and turns around right as MNM swings the belt, and connects with the face of Knicky. Knicky collapses to the mat and MNM jumps back over the barricade and pushes through the fans.

Kerry Lane: No, not this way! No! Knicky get up!

Hayes suddenly releases the refs shirt and the ref falls to one knee, having been trying to pull away from Hayes' grip. Hayes slides back into the ring, steps up onto the refs back, onto the turnbuckle, turns around and hits the Falling Feather on the already fallen Knicky.

Kerry Lane: That ws completely unnecessary! MNM already did the work for Hayes.

Josh Hart: You never can be too sure Kerry! And Hayes is being cautious.

Hayes hooks the leg of Knicky, and the ref slides in and counts 1...2...3.

Winner: Shawn Alexander Hayes

Josh Hart: Hayes did it! He IS the Legend Killer of the IWF!!

Kerry Lane: I think alot of that credit belongs to MNM, but this will indeed go down as a win for Hayes.


We see William Rose talking backstage with IWF crew members.

Lane: I take it from that William Rose's surprise should be very, very soon.

Hart: We'll see.

He cockily steps into the ring and wait for his opponent.

The arena goes pitch black as "Welcome Home" by Coheed and Cambria plays on the speaker system. The crowd erupts in cheers at the anticipation of the entering superstar. A dark, imposing silouette steps out from behind the titantron and stands still with head low. As the music grows to a heavy and driving guitar riff, sparks fly on both sides of the darkened figure. He raises his head and clenches his fist as he roars through the shower of sparks. Three bright white pyros fire in the darkness and the lights come on as Magnus "Pathwalker" Greyson makes his way up the entrance ramp and down toward the ring. He stares, focused and determined, at the ring as the fans cheer and chant "Mag-nus, Mag-nus, Mag-nus!

Jessica Lock: And the opponent, Knoxville, TN, weighing 285 lbs, Magnus Greyson.

" He climbs in the ring and walks to the ropes with a steely gaze directed toward the crowd. He reaches violently for the top rope and jerks it downward and roars ferociously as his entrance theme cuts out.

Lane: Now Greyson has all the momentum can he capitalise.

Greyson looks for a one legged boston crab but Ku doesn’t turn over and grabs one of Greysons legs. Ku pulls Greyson down and locks in a one leg boston crab of his own as Greyson roars in pain. The ropes seem a mile away at the moment as Greyson attempts to crawl toawards them, he is now a matter of inches from the ropes as Ku apllies more pressure on the hold but Greyson gets to the ropes and Ku releases the hold. Norman Ku raises his arms cockily as Greyson struggles to get up. When he does Ku goes for a DDT but Greyson with great strength is able to lift Ku in the air and onto his shoulders and he hits the awakening and goes for the cover.

1…2…3

Jessica Lock: The winner of the match, Magnus Greyson.

Lane: It looked as though Ku was going to win with the DDT but Greyson was able to hit the awakening from nowhere and he wins tonight’s match.


Out of a sudden, William Rose steps into the stage and out. He has a microphone in hand.

Rose: Gentleman, hey Greyson, real incredible victory, but it's time for the real man to take over, so if you will, please, end to leave, the exit is on that way.


Lane: Rose finally here, it appears Matty William's surprise will be next!


***COMMERCIAL***


Rose: Now look, I hate to be the buzz killer and party bummer, because I know that each and everyone one of you bought your little ticket here tonight to see what I had preparared for my friend, and Born 2 Bleed opponent, Matty Williams. But you see, my surprise was something big, and unexpected. I went out, made my homework, and got someone from Matty's past. Everything was scheduled for me to bring Tom Mcbrady as my guest.

Crowd roars.

Rose: But you see, like I have been saying for this past weeks, you can just not trust on this kind of people, this people that for some reason think that they are legends, and that they are superior to us, people like Matty Williams, or in this case, Tom.

A little Matty chant breaks from the crowd.

Rose: Now Tom, I hope you are watching at your house Mayhem tonight, and I hope that you buy the PPV this Sunday, so that you can see, just like everyone in the world, how I destroy your friend and glorious opponent, Matty, at Born 2 Bleed.

Rose grins for a bit.

Rose: Now, have a fun weekend, while I...

William Rose appears to have noticed something on the crowd.

Rose: Excuse me but, I just noticed a little kid in the crowd wearing a Matty Williams shirt and, do they still made them? I mean, you kid, you like wearing a shirt of a guy that possibly you have never seen wrestle? I mean, you have the greatest talent in the ring and, LOOK AT ME WHEN I AM TALKING!

William appears to be mad. He rolls out of the ring and then walks close to the barricade. He gets in front of the little kid's face.

Rose: Punk, be sure to see this Sunday Born 2 Bleed, because every punch I nail, every tear of blood I take out of him will be dedicated to you. Kid, every brain cell Matty loses, will be on your hands.

Finally, the dad of the kid has had enough. He steps in and tries to stop William from continue intimidating his kid.

Rose: OH is that so!

Rose out of a sudden just nails the dad, and fan, with a straight right hand, knocking him down. Inmediately, a riot creates on the audience. Security steps in and orders William to leave. Rose, with a grin on his face, lets the mic fell and then just walks up the ramp.


(Born 2 Bleed PPV Hype: THIS SUNDAY!)


Lane: We're back and, I am just speechless, but embarrased the most, of what we just saw from William Rose.

Hart: Rose is a great athlete, but what he did tonight, has no defense. However, the show must go on.


I’m Comin’ plays and Rick O’Shea walks out calmly to about halfway down the ramp and proceeds to raise his arms with his index fingers up. Blue X Pyro goes off. He starts to get focused as he walks up the steps and in the ring through the middle and top ropes. He waits for his opponent calmly.

Lane: Rick O’Shea is perhaps one of the best technical wrestlers here in IWF.

Hart: What do you mean perhaps? He is the best, plain and simple.

Jessica Lock: Introducing first, weighing in at 245 lbs, now residing in Secaucus, New Jersey, he is Rick O’Shea.

Darren Anselmo comes out on a cocky walk strut, pauses for a brief moment on the ramp, then extends his left and right arms, before walking down the ramp, climbing into the ring, and getting in Rick O’Shea’s face.

Lane: Darren Anselmo is one cocky son of a gun.

Hart: And why is that a bad thing? Besides, I call it confidence.

Jessica Lock: His opponent, weighing 292 lbs, from Manila in the Philippines, Darren Anselmo.

Rick O’Shea vs Darren Anselmo​

The referee calls for the bell, and Anselmo continues to get in the face of O’Shea. O’Shea shakes his head, then kicks Anselmo in the mid-section, before locking in a side headlock. Anselmo pushes back against the ropes, then uses the momentum to push O’Shea off. O’Shea runs at the ropes, bounces off them, then gets taken down with easy by Anselmo with a shoulder tackle.

Lane: Anselmo showing of his power advantage early.

Hart: O’Shea knows he is going to have to wrestle his way through this match. He can’t overpower Darren Anselmo.

Anselmo looks down at O’Shea with a smirk across his face, before running at the ropes himself, and bouncing off them. O’Shea then drops down, and Anselmo goes over him, then bounces off the opposite ropes, only to be caught with an arm drag from O’Shea. O’Shea quickly tries to lock in a cross armbreaker, but Anselmo panics, and quickly pulls himself to the ropes.

Hart: There we go, he had Anselmo worried.

Lane: Now O’Shea just has to continue with that game plan.

Both men get up, and O’Shea meets Anselmo with a big right hand that rocks him. O’Shea smiles, then hits another big right hand that knocks Anselmo all of the way back into the corner. O’Shea doesn’t relent though, and he starts to hammer away on Anselmo with right hands in the corner. 1...2...3...4. O’Shea attempts to Irish whip Anselmo to the opposite corner, but Anselmo reverses and sends O’Shea in. Anselmo then charges in himself, and goes to sandwich O’Shea, but O’Shea quickly moves out of the way, leaving Anselmo to hit the corner hard.

Lane: O’Shea also using his pace advantage there.

Hart: He needs to keep this going.

O’Shea the runs off to the ropes, bounces off them, and gets met with a huge big boot from Anselmo.

Lane: So much for using his pace.

Hart: There isn’t much you can do when you get a boot in the face though.

Anselmo shakes off the cobwebs, then mounts O’Shea, before rocking him with repeated right hand shots to the head of O’Shea. 1...2...3...4. Anselmo gets up. O’Shea starts to struggle back to his feet, and Anselmo kicks away at him as he does so. O’Shea then gets right back up, and Anselmo bulrushes him back into the corner, before sticking his boot right up into the throat of O’Shea and choking him. 1...2...3...4. Anselmo backs away from the corner.

Lane: Some impressive flexibility from the big man.

Anselmo then moves back in, and Irish whips O’Shea as hard as he can to the opposite corner. O’Shea hits the turnbuckle, then whiplashes down to the mat, holding his back in pain. Anselmo smiles as he moves over to O’Shea slowly, while O’Shea fights back up. O’Shea gets back to his feet, and Anselmo military presses him up into the air.

Lane: My God, look at the strength of Anselmo!

Hart: He could do anything he wants with Rick O’Shea right now!

Anselmo smiles, then throws Rick O’Shea straight up into the air, leaving him to crash into the mat hard. Anselmo covers O’Shea, 1...2.. O’Shea just manages to kick out.

Lane: How did Rick O’Shea kick out of that?

Hart: I don’t know, but he can’t possibly last much longer!

Anselmo looks frustrated as he sees O’Shea getting back up. He scoops O’Shea up, then slams him down, before going to the corner and heading up, with his back to O’Shea. Anselmo gets to his top rope, then taunts the crowd, before coming off for a moonsault, that at the last second, is dodged by O’Shea.

Lane: That would have been the end if Anselmo had hit that.

Both men get back to their feet, and O’Shea grabs Anselmo in a waist lock, before taking him over with a German suplex. Both men struggle back to their feet again, and O’Shea pushes Anselmo right back into the corner, then climbs up onto the second rope, before firing away with ten straight right hands to the top of the head of Anselmo. O’Shea then drops down while Anselmo staggers out of the corner, before taking off towards the ropes. O’Shea bounces off the ropes, then connects with a big running spin kick to the head of Anselmo.

Lane: O’Shea is using his pace again here.

O’Shea quickly tries to go for the O’Shea Can You See, but Anselmo pulls himself to the ropes. Anselmo gets up, and O’Shea hammers away on him with right hands. O’Shea then sends Anselmo off with an Irish whip. Anselmo runs at the ropes, then bounces off them, before getting taken over by O’Shea with a belly to belly suplex. O’Shea taunts the big man, thinking he has it won.

Lane: O’Shea looks ready to close this one right now.

Hart: But will he be able to do it?

Anselmo gets up groggily, and O’Shea goes for the Stolen Spotlight, only for Anselmo to land behind him on his feet. Anselmo then runs back into the ropes, bounces off them, and goes for a clothesline, but O’Shea is able to duck it. O’Shea then grabs a waist lock, but Anselmo goes right behind him with a standing switch, before getting him up, and dropping him with an electric chair.

Lane: That should do it!

Anselmo hooks the leg of O’Shea, 1...2.. O’Shea kicks out. Anselmo gets to his feet, not believing that O’Shea had kicked out. He then waits on O’Shea to get to his feet. O’Shea gets up, and Anselmo tries to grab a full nelson, but O’Shea hooks his legs around Anselmo, then rolls him up into a pin, 1...2.. Anselmo kicks out and rolls, but O’Shea catches him with the O’Shea Can’t You See straight away. Anselmo screams out in pain, as he is caught in the middle of the ring.

Lane: What a move from Rick O’Shea!

Hart: Will Anselmo tap out though?

Anselmo tries to struggle towards the ropes, but he realises it is to no use, and he taps out.

Result: Rick O’Shea makes Darren Anselmo submit.

O’Shea gets back to his feet, and gets up on the turnbuckle, holding his arms up and extending his index fingers, in his signature pose.

Lane: What a great match, but all it took was one genius reversal from Rick O’Shea and it was done.

Hart: And that is all it takes sometimes.

Lane: It was indeed a great match.


***COMMERCIAL***


Kerry Lane: Next up, the Strange Bedfellows match.

Josh Hart: What exactly IS a Strange Bedfellows match Kerry?

Kerry Lane: It means, unlikely partners Josh. Notice how people are teamed up as partners, with their opponents for Born 2 Bleed. That in itself should be enough to make this match extremely interesting.

Jessica Lock: The next bout, scheduled for one fall, is The Strange Bedfellows 6 man tag team match!

Dirty Deeds by ACDC blasts through the speakers, and pyro blast in all directions.

Jessica Lock: Making their way to the ring, at a combined weight of 690 lbs, the team of James Gardner, Bobby King, and James Patterson!!

The three men walk out onto the stage, King and Patterson holding their arms out to the side, as Gardner claps above his head. As one, the three men race toward the ring, slide in under the bottom rope, and pose once again. Then the convene in the middle of the ring, huddled up. King points towards the turnbuckle and the other two men nod.

Kerry Lane: Well it looks like these 3 have come to an understanding as far as the match is concerned, and have decided to put their personal issues on hold until Born 2 Bleed.

Josh Hart: Thats a smart move, they will need to work as a unit to beat their opponents tonight.

Jessica Lock: And their opponents,at a combined weight of 755 lbs, the team of Havok, Adam Freeman, and Mr. Money in the Bank Charlie Titan!

The intro to Higher Ground starts and black and blue lights come across the arena. As the guitars of the song comes in, Titan, Havok, and Freeman walk out through the curtain. In the middle of the entrance ramp, red pyro shoots out from the floor. They walk confidently to the ring, and climb the steps, making their way to the center of the ring, and pose for the crowd as well.

Kerry Lane: And there they are Josh, most of these men will be competing in next weeks pay per view, Born 2 Bleed, and are looking to go into that with a little momentum!

Strange Bedfellows match​

Charlie Titan, Havok, Adam Freeman vs James Gardner, Bobby King, James Patterson

[Bell Rings]​

Kerry Lane: It looks like its going to be Adam Freeman and Bobby King starting things off in this Strange Bedfellows match!

The two men lock up in the middle of the ring, struggling with each other, each of them trying to come out on top. King swings with a right looking to connect with a clothesline, but Freeman ducks, and grabs hold of Freeman hair, and slams him to the mat. Freeman points at Gardner and Patterson before stalking behind King. king pulls himself up in the corner, nut Freeman starts bashing him with right hands, stomping him back down into the corner. the ref pulls him away, and Freeman spins around to argue with the ref, as King pulls himself back up. Freeman returns and irish whips King into the ropes, King reverses. and as Freeman bounced off the ropes, King hits him with a dropkick. Both men get to their feet, and King goes for a clothesline, but Freeman side steps and gets a knee up into the mid-section of King, and grabs him around the neck, dragging him to Freemans own corner, but King yanks free, seemingly unsteady on his feet,while Freeman tags in Titan.

Josh Hart: Freeman tagged in Mr Money in the Bank, Charlie Titan, and now we may get to see why he is in possesion of that briefcase Kerry!

Titan ducks in under the ropes, and King miraculously recovers, and rushes to the rope, bounces off coming up alongside Titan, grabs his head and lands with a thunderous running bulldog. King hops to his feet and extends his hand to Gardner who tags in. and rushes towards Titan who is making his way to his feet. Gardner rushes Titan, hammering him with right hands, shooting him into the ropes, but Titan reverses, and when Gardner comes flying back, Titan lifts him straight into the air,and lets him come crashing to the floor.

Kerry Lane: Gardner came flying out of there, fists blazing, but Titan just has such ring presence he was able to anticipate and reverse Gardners momentum, and stop it in a flash!

Titan pulls Gardner up, and shoves him into the ropes, never releasing the hold, and when Gardner rebounds, Titan throws a knee into the abdomen of Gardner. Titan changes angles and whips Gardner into the corner, rushing behind him, but Gardner gets his feet up into the face of Titan, and Titan clutches his face and spins away, Gardner turns around and clmbs to the second turnbuckle.

Kerry Lane: Looks like Gardners going high risk!

Titan recovers and hits a clothesline to the lower back of Gardner, and then another, and ducks under the legs of Gardner, lifting him up onto his shoulders, looking to go for a power bomb, but Gardner flips his position, so he is facing the opposite direction, and falls back in a hurricanrana, grabbing Titans legs, and the ref makes a 2 count.

Josh Hart: At first I thought Gardner was going to crash and burn, but he pulled it out, getting a 2 count on Mr MITB!

Titan gets to his feet and grabs ahold of Gardner, whipping him into the ropes, and Havok kicks him in the back from the corner, causing Gardner to fall to the mat. Titan walks back to his corner and tags in Havok.

Kerry Lane: Havoks up next, and Gardner really needs the tag here in this match!

Havok ducks under the ropes and grabs the fallen Gardner, slamming hard rights down onto the back of his head and neck. Havok grabs the arm and twists it, ducking under, and trying to hyperextend the elbow, putting the pressure on the shoulder and elbow joints of Gardner. Havok drags Gardner back towards his corner, and Gardner fights pulling back, until Havok is right near thre ropes, then Gardner rushes towards the ropes, steps up onto the middle rope, and hits a mule kick to the jaw of Havok. Gardner sprints to his own corner, tagging in Patterson.

Josh Hart: Smart move by Gardner tagging out at that time, Havok was about to twist that arm right out of the socket!

Kerry Lane: And here comes Patterson!

Patterson scrambles into the ring, running with a clothesline aimed at Havok, Kavok ducks, but Patterson spins around and hits him with a right hand. The men sit there throwing right hands at each other with Patterson forcing Havok to move back as he keeps advancing closer, Patterson ducks a right hand and pushes Havok into the ropes. Havok bounces of the ropes and flies across the ring, hits the opposite side and comes running back towards Patterson. Patterson leaps forward and catches Havok in a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, and covers him. Havok kicks out at 2.

Kerry Lane: I am very impressed with this team here tonight Josh, they have been holding their own against the more experienced veterans.

Josh Hart; Yes they have Kerry, but lets see how they handle it once the match goes a little bit farther, thats where the experience factor comes into play.

Patterson pulls Havok up and puts his arm over his shoulder, setting him up for a vertical suplex, but once Havok is in the air, he twists free of the hold, and lifts Patterson up onto his shoulder, but Patterson slips out his clutches, and hits Havok with an inverted DDT, and goes for the cover.

Kerry Lane:: Patterson has Havok, can he get the 3?!

Freeman runs in and breaks up the pin, and hammers on the back of Pattersons head, and King rushes into the ring as well, hitting Freeman in the back of the head with a hard kick. King pulls Freeman up and throws him out of the ring, following him to the floor where they begin exchanging punches. Meanwhile Titan gets back into the ring, and he along with Havok proceed to double team Patterson, as the ref is looking the other way, trying to keep Gardner on the outside. Titan and Havok stomp Patterson down in the corner, and Titan gets out of the ring, as everyone makes it back to their corner. Havok hits Patterson repeatedly with hard right hands, as Patterson struggles to stay on his feet.

Josh Hart: That was great! All these superstars, going at it, it was chaotic in there!

Havok tags Titan back in and Titan whips Patterson hard into the corner and Patterson hits spine first, and falls to the mat.

Kerry Lane: Now Patterson deperatley needs a tag in this match!

Titan pulls Patterson back up, and hits a scoop slam, and Titan goes for a cover, and gets a 2. Patterson kicks out, and stretches for the tag, Gardner and King reaching as well, and Titan hits him with a hard kick to the back of the head. He pulls Patterson back up, and whips him into the corner, tagging in Freeman. Freeman delivers several hard kicks to the sternum, stomping Patterson down, before tagging Titan back in.

Josh Hart: Patterson has been taking ALOT of punishment, he needs a tag badly, but this team of Havok, Titan, and Freeman know that the best way to win a tag match is to isolate your opponent, and that is exactly what they are doing.

Titan lifts Patterson up in a powerslam, and points to the top rope.

Kerry Lane: Looks like Mr Money in the Bank is going up top! This cant be good for Patterson!

Titan climbs to the top and makes the "T" sign with his arms, but Gardner rushes him and yanks his foot off the ropes, and Titan falls astraddle the turnbuckle, and allows Patterson to time to jump up, and rush Titan, hitting him with a superplex.

Kerry Lane: What a superplex by James Patterson!!!

Josh Hart:: I didnt know he had enough left in him for a move like that!

Both Titan and Patterson are dragging themselves to their corners and Patterson tags in Bobby King at the same time Titan gets the tag to Adam Freeman. King rushes in and knocks Freeman down with a clothesline, Havok runs in and King grabs him by the head, and uses his own momentum to take him over the top rope, and continues running, hitting Titan with a right hand, sending him to the floor. King turns around and sees Freeman making his way up, and points to the corner at Patterson and Gardner, who nod at him, and they climb up onto the top turnbuckle clasping their handstogether making an extra would be turnbuckle.

Kerry Lane: Oh My God Josh, what are they doing!?

Josh Hart: I dont know, but its going to be BIG!!

King races past Freeman, runs up the turnbuckles and onto the clasped hands of his teammates, who vault him higher into the air, and he flies through the air, time seems to slow down as King is, floating, through the air, performing a corckscrew moonsault and landing on top of Freeman. Freeman who was so astonished by this move, just stood there, as King fell from the sky after doing full spin, both crashing to the mat, King lands and hooks the leg of Freeman, but Titan makes it in to break up the 3 count.

Kerry Lane: I have no words for what we have just witnessed. Have you EVER seen anything like that Josh?

Josh Hart: Um....no ....never

Titan pulls up King and hits the Icon Unleasehed, and goes for the cover, but Patterson makes the save, pulls Titan up and hits the Broken Dream, Havok grabs Patterson and hits the Havokrusher.

Kerry Lane: Oh my God, what is going on, this is insane, who are the legal men!?

Josh Hart: I THINK, it is Freeman and King, but I am not sure!

Gardner slides under the bottom rope and grabs Havok and hits the Gards Grater, but Freeman rushes forward, and suplexes Gardner over the tope rope. Freeman turns around to see Bobby King once again on the top turnbuckle, King leaps, but Freeman slides to the side, grabs the back of the head of King and hits a CodeBreaker.

Kerry Lane: ...........

Josh Hart: .............

Freeman covers King, as the ref counts to 3.

Winners: Freeman, Titan, Havok

Josh Hart: Ladies and gentleman, and Kerry, I have never seen ANYTHING like the match that we just saw.

Kerry Lane: We were definately just part of history in the making Josh!


We go backstage and we see Rick O'shea stretching, avoiding any post injury after his match against Darren Anselmo. Out of a sudden, IC Champion CMS enters the room.

CMS: Hey Rick, long time no see, in fact, I haven't seen you ever since Final Impact, how's it going?

O'shea: What do you want?

CMS: Let me first say that I have been impressed with you as of late. Damn, me beating you certainly push some buttons, because you look like a different person as of late, you even have a new persona, you have defeated people back an forth, you are certainly on the top of your game.

O'shea: And that concerns you?

CMS: No, but I certainly will take credit of your new...you, and I want my favor back.

O'shea: Ok, now that was stupid. Just ask what you need, so that I can say no already.

CMS: As you know, I'll be facing Ryan Fox and a partner of his choosing at Born 2 Bleed, and I need a tag team partner, and after a long deep thought, I came up with you. Think about it, we too stole the show, or the spotlight as you might say, at Final Impact, and we might do it again, so, what do you say?

O'shea: Look, what you did to that girl was twisted. I mean, I am no goodie tissue, but that was just wrong, and normally,I wouldn't associate with you on any form. However, there is one thing that I would do it for, the IC Championship.

CMS: What do you mean?

O'shea: I'll be your partner, if after Born 2 Bleed, you give me a one on one title match for that belt.

CMS hesistates a little.

CMS: Oh what the hell, you got it. See you at Born 2 Bleed.

CMS storms out of the room


***COMMERCIAL***


Lane: We are back and, it appears we have some footage taped by Ryan Fox, straight for him home at LA, so, let's take a look.


The video starts to play and the camera bounces around a bit as Ryan sets it down on the entertainment center. The afternoon sun glistens in through the sliding glass door of the Fox's living room. The sound of the air conditioner clicking on doesn't do anything to drown out the sound of Val Fox's voice.

Val: Damn it Ryan, I told you that I did not need you here to take care of me, I am perfectly fine. I don't need you here fussing over me, and I see NO reason that you are making me lay on this damn couch. I am not SICK, I am injured, and I am pissed off!

Ryan readjust the angle of the camera and Val comes into view. She is sitting up on the brown leather couch, in white yoga pants and a neon pink tank top. Her pretty face is covered on the left side by ugly bruises that have faded from dark rad and blue, to the even uglier green and yellow smudges. A thin line of stitches snakes their way from high on her forehead and into her hairline. Her hair is up in a bun with the chopsticks and she is surrounded by pillows, blankets, books, magazines, a pitcher of iced tea, the remote control, the cordless phone, her cell phone and her ashtray and cigarretes are all within easy reach.

Val: I don't need to be pampered Ryan. So you can stop feeling guilty and treating me like a baby! I knew was I was getting myself into when I climbed into that ring. And yeah I got a little beat up. But I'm fine! How do you expect me to be ready for Born 2 Bleed when you wont even let me walk to the bathroom by myself?

Ryan makes his way into view and sets down in his recliner, glancing sidelong at his sister.

Ryan: You are more important to me than anything happening this week on Mayhem. So just accept it, and move on. And listen, if you were to trip and land on your face, maybe bust those stitches open, you are going to wish I was still here looking out for you.

Val: There is nothing wrong with my legs, smart ass, I doubt I'm going to all of a sudden trip over my own feet and land on my face.

Ryan: Did anyone ever tell you, you're more bitchy than usual when you're hurt Valentine?

Val grabs her cigarettes and lights one up, blowing smoke in Ryans general direction, and leaning back, crossing her arms.

Ryan: Pout all you want, I'm still going to be here to take care of you this week, no matter how much I wish that it had been your mouth stitched closed instead of your forehead.

Vals eyes narrow and she gets off the couch, but Ryan pushes her back down. He turns and yells down the hall.

Ryan: Hey TOK!! Can you come walk Val back to Mikalas room, so she don't hurt herself?

TOK: Yeah, dude coming!

Val: I dont NEED someone to walk me down the freakin hall!

TOK comes down the hallway from the room he and his wife Mikala have been sharing since her release from the hospital. He comes and takes hold of Vals elbow.

Val: Do not touch me! I can walk perfectly fine!

She spins on her heel and takes two steps forward, and stumbles on one of the pillows that have fallen off the couch. She catches her balance then spins to look at Ryan,

Val: Do NOT even THINK about saying anything!

Ryan cocks an eyebrow up at her.She picks the pillow up and throws it at him, and he bats it out of the air and she grudgingly allows TOK to take her arm and walk her down the hall.

Ryan lets out a huge sigh, and reaches over and crushes out the burning cigarette Val left smoldering in the ashtray. He looks up at the camera and begins to speak.

Ryan:If beating up my sister with brass knucks like the coward you are wasn't enough to make me want to rip you apart CMS, the hell I have been going through trying to deal with the aftermath IS. But its ok, because, in two more weeks, all this anger and frustration I have inside of me is going to be allowed to simmer, and when Born 2 Bleed finally arrives, I'm going to make you pay for what you've done. This isn't even about the championship, this is beyond titles, this is beyong the IWF. This hatred that I have for you, this desire to hurt you, to make you bleed, it crosses all lines, all boundries and limits. I only wish that this was a one on one match. I don't want to share my revenge with anyone. I want to be the one you remember that caused you all this pain. But you are so certain that if we ever DID go one on one I would beat you, which is the reason that ever since I arrived in this company,the powers that be have held me back, putting me in handicap matches, trying to keep me down. And why every match that I have been in, you either had someone else do your work for you, or have somehow arranged it that you never have to face me alone.Case in point, Born 2 Bleed. Now I have to go and find a partner, someone who hates you as much as I do. In all honesty that should't be too hard, since the only people who support you are the ones who are trying to ride your coattails.

As Ryan finishes speaking TOK walks by the entrance to the living room into the kitchen. He stops and back pedals into the living room and looks at the camera over Ryans shoulder.

TOK: What about me asshole?

Ryan: What about you? What do you have on CMS?

TOK: Didnt you see the footage last week? Or was it uncomprehendable?

Ryan: Well, I was a little busy getting my head bashed in with a chair, and then after that I was checking on my sister, who had blood gushing from her head at the time. Sorry I didnt catch the dialogue.

TOK: He had my wife put in the hospital, in an attempt to take me out. So you know what Ryan, I am your partner for Born 2 Bleed.

Ryan: Well I was going to announce it as you anyway...

TOK: Well thats nice, looks like I am making the announcement for you then huh? You see Ryan, I am the number 1 contender for the IC Title that CMS is clutching onto so tightly. And since he attempted to take me out of the picture, for whatever reasons unbeknownst to me, must be worried he wont walk out with that title of his, but ended up taking out my wife. So with that being said, I have plenty of reasons to get my hands on CMS, so I will be your partner at Born 2 Bleed. Because it doesnt matter who he brings to the arena on August 17th as his partner, it could be Kassidy, Montana, MNM, Magnus Greyson, Rory Taylor, Matty Williams, it doesnt matter who, its already over. People can say what they want to say, but when it comes down to it, and the bell rings at Born 2 Bleed, CMS will realize that just because has has gold around his waist, that his actions dont go without ramifications.

Ryan: Well, I guess that is all that needs said. Me and TOK will meet you and whatever loser you pick as your partner. Maybe this time you should pick someone so that you may actually have a shot in hell at winning the match with, you think? But regardless, who wins this match is really of no importance to me or TOK, we just want you CMS, It wont matter if technically if you win or lose the match, we just are coming to hurt you, and it would be a stupid man indeed, that is willing to stand in the way of the payback youve got coming from both of us. In the meantime, good luck with the partner searching,

Ryan gets up from the chair and walks towards the camera, his body blocking the view of the camera lens unitl the living room is no longer visible, and all we hear is the whir of the air conditioner, until even that is gone.

Lane: We are back, and it's main event time.

Hart: Earlier tonight we saw KnicKy vs Hayes, KnicKy being MNM's opponent and Hayes being Cahan Malone's opponent at Born 2 Bleed, and it all ended with an interference from our champion.

Lane: But now, Malone vs MNM, and keep in mind, that if MNM retains, and Malone defeats Hayes at Born 2 Bleed in that Number One Contender's match, we could very well be seeing another rematch.

MNM
vs
Cahan Malone
​

Bell rings: MNM and Cahan Malone circle each other. They jog around the ring not removing the sight out of each other. They finally go at it and enter in a test of strength, but as nobody get the upperhand they separate from each other and then look around the crowd, looking the reactions of the livid crowd. They go back at it and enter in another test of strength. This time Cahan Malone gets the upperhand and he locks in a side headlock. He continues applying the hold, then floats over the head of his opponent and modifies it into another way of headlock, but this is only a transitory position as he then locks in MNM in a hammerlock. MNM sidesteps and is able to counter then locking in a side headlock of his own. MNM then pushes Malone away and toward the ring ropes, and when Cahan Malone bounces back MNM shoulder blocks him down to the canvas. Both get back to their feet and MNM dashes toward the ropes, tackling his opponent again down to the canvas. MNM covers Cahan Malone: 1…2…, Cahan gets one shoulder up. MNM gets back to his feet and like a deadly scorpion, he starts stomping every exposed body part, every limb of the floored Cahan Malone. He then walks away a little letting Malone mildly incorporate. Malone gets up to his knees, and MNM quickly dashes to the ropes behind him, and comes back bouncing planting his opponent with a big kick right to the head knocking Cahan Malone down to the canvas. MNM then quickly sets the STF on his opponent, but Cahan is able to react first and he rapidly crawls toward the ring ropes, getting one arm on the ropes forcing MNM to break up the pinfall. MNM waits all the time he can to remain the hold applied, the referee starts the count: 1…2…3…4…, MNM releases the STF.

MNM gets away just to then violently just step in the ankle of his opponent. Cahan Malone refuses to scream in pain, however he does contorts rolling on the canvas holding his ankle. MNM smiles in satisfaction and he grabs the punished right ankle of his opponent. He drags him close to the ring ropes, and then he set it on the bottom rope, laying it. MNM then grabs the top rope and starts bouncing, taunting to the crowd. He then jumps using the top rope as leverage, then lets his entire body weight to fell on top of the ankle. Malone instinctively grabs his ankle rolling away of the ropes, but MNM grabs him back and sets his leg again on the rope, and once again he lets himself fell on top of the ankle. MNM smiles as the crowd heavily boos, as they have chosen to back up Cahan Malone in this one. He grabs the right leg of his hurt opponent and drags him back to the middle of the ring, then plants him with a big elbow drop right to the hamstring. MNM gets a little away and taunting extremely showing his confidence, he measures the ankle of Cahan Malone. Mike then dashes to the ropes and bounces back, then connecting him with a big, vicious knee drop right to the foot of Cahan Malone. Mike Nigel Manase makes the cover: 1….2…, Cahan Malone manages to get one shoulder up. MNM gets quickly back to his feet and he puts the boots on his opponent, delivering a stomp right to the right foot of Malone. He then remakes the cover hooking two legs this time: 1…2…, somehow Cahan Malone rolls over his head and makes a cover of his own: 1…2…, MNM kicks out. Cahan Malone then gets back to his feet, clearly favoring his right leg. MNM also gets back to a standing position. MNM then advances toward him and slaps his opponent right on the face, Malone holds his jaw in anger looking to the side.

Hart: Oh my god so disrespectful!

Lane: MNM is sending a message here tonight.

Cahan Malone then powerfully answers back with a strong right hand right across the face. Limping, Malone follows up with powerful straight right hands. He then connects his opponent with a chop to the chest that is accompanied by the classic “Wooo†chant from the audience. He connects another one and then even mixes it up with an European Uppercut. Malone sets his opponent up and then connects him with a suplex. He doesn’t release him and get back to his feet, then connects him with another suplex. Malone and MNM get incorporated back to their standing position, and Malone changes the hold and way he is grabbing Mike Nigel Manase, then connecting MNM with a German Suplex. Malone makes the cover putting his forearm right on the face of MNM: 1…2…, Mike kicks out. Cahan Malone gets back to his feet and limping he gets back to his feet, he walks toward the corner and starts slowly, favoring his right leg and limping, and starts climbing to the top rope turned around. MNM gets quickly back to his feet in a rush of instinct and dashes toward the climbed Malone, kicking him right on the right leg, making him come down falling violently of the top rope. MNM smiles staring at the floored Cahan Malone and he then gets Cahan back to his feet mildly incorporated. Mike Nigel Manase then steps back going to the opposite side of the ring measuring his opponent. He then storms toward him looking to hit a Big Boot right to the head of his cornered opponent, however and right on the nick of time Cahan manages to get out of the way making his opponent fail. Malone then takes advantage of the position Manase is, rolling him up: 1….2…, MNM manages to kick out. Malone and MNM get back to their feet, but the first to react is Cahan Malone and plants him with a picture perfect dropkick.

Lane: I don't know how wise that was considering the bad ankle of Cahan Malone.
​

Both competitors remain knocked out, Malone rolls around the canvas grabbing his ankle, but he then is able to crawl toward MNM and makes the cover: 1…2…, Nigel is able to kick out. Malone seems a little off thanks to the failed pinfall, but he then gets back to his feet. He grabs Mike Nigel Manase by his hair and incorporates him, then he bends him over and plants him with a DDT. Cahan Malone gets then back to his feet and he limps all the way toward the corner. He then climbs to the top rope and after looking around the crowd, getting a big roar of expectation from the audience, he leaps of the top rope and connects MNM below with a big Shooting Star Press. Cahan Malone rolls around the canvas feeling the effects of the maneuver as well. MNM remains still clearly knocked out. Cahan Malone manages to get one arm across the chest of Mike Nigel Manase: 1…2…, MNM gets one shoulder up. Cahan Malone takes his time, but he then manages to get back to his feet. He looks around the arena and announces the end, taunting MNM. Manase starts getting back to his feet, clearly groggy and barely able to maintain his balance. He finally turns around and Malone advances toward him, looking to get him up and set him for the Celtic Cross, but MNM manages to counter sliding down the grab of his opponent. Cahan turns around and instead Mike is the one to get him over his shoulders, and he then plants him with his Manase Powerslam. Mike Nigel Manase seems obviously tired, but he manages to grin and smile. He goes toward his opponent and he makes the cover: 1…2…, Cahan Malone gets one shoulder up. MNM seems extremely shocked, but he then gets back up and gets back to his feet, he stares at the grueling Malone and goes toward him, then locking him in a Manase Lock. Malone fights but eventually he taps.

Winner: MNM

Jessica Lock: Your winner via submission, MNM!


Lane: My God what a momentum going into Born 2 Bleed.

Hart: And unlike KnicKy, he was able to actually win.


Out of a sudden, running from into the crowd and sliding into the ring, KnicKy is inside. He quickly grabs him, locks him and nails him with a German Suplex. KnicKY then starts going crazy on MNM, stomping all over his opponent.

Hart: What has happened in here?

Lane: He didn't interfere during the match, but what happened earlier tonight was just too much to let it slide.

KnicKy continues beating up MNM, when out of a sudden, Edward Redding comes out to the stage.

Redding: Hold it, hold it! KnicKy, one more punch to our champion and you will be suspended!

Crowd heavily boos.

Redding: Now apparently, you two have a...let's call it thing for interfering and attacking each other and costing each other matches, and for some reason, I feel that it will not end with a regular match at Born 2 Bleed, isn't that right KnicKy, because even if it is indeed your last chance to win the belt, this thing wouldn't just end.

KnicKy nods inside the ring.

Redding: That's why I took the liberty to book a little swerve in your title match. It will not only be a Title Match, it will now be, and because both of you can't be in the same ring, hell, you can't be on the same company, I will make this an I Quit Match!

Crowd pops as Redding grins, then turns around and walks slowly to the back.

Lane: An I Quit match? For this Sunday.

Hart: I guess what they say about Redding is true.

Lane: What do they say?

Hart: Ask DJ Primetime.

Lane: Anyways, that's all for us tonight, join us on Sunday, for Born 2 Bleed
