Kira Yakamoto is seen entering the arena with her title belt over her shoulder. She is met there by Lydia Parizi who simply smiles at the champ.

Lydia Parizi - I imagine you're planning to keep that belt.

Kira Yakamoto - I am not going to allow a woman like you to get it, no.

Lydia Parizi - Kira, you have no idea what's coming to you tonight.

Lydia laughs as she walks off and then we hear "Oildale (Leave Me Alone)" by Korn while we see images of First Degree, JGH, Rated R, Austin Houston, Shannon Skanes, Lydia Parizi, Myst, Slim Pickens, Emma McIntyre, Wren SilverPhoenix and Lucy Johnson before we head to ringside where Henry Lesher and Ricky Simms are all set to call the action.

Lydia Parizi vs. Kira Yakamoto

"Baby Baby Baby" by Endeverafter plays as Hoshi Yakamoto comes out to cheers from the crowd and with her Women's Title belt over her shoulder. She makes her way down the ramp to ringside and then high fives fans on her way around the ring. She hands off her title belt to the timekeeper and then steps up onto the ring apron before stepping through the ropes into the ring. She paces there as her music fades and then we hear "Woke Up This Morning" by Leonard Cohen and the crowd boos as Lydia Parizi steps out onto the stage with Corina at her side. The two of them make their way down the ramp and then pause at ringside to talk strategy while Kira just paces, not taking her eyes off of Lydia as she does so. Lydia then steps onto the ring apron and has words with Kira who answers with a right hook that sends Lydia back to the floor.

Ricky Simms - Well, Lydia wasn't greeted warmly by Kira there.

Henry Lesher - Why is there a Yakamoto on a paid event, Rick?

Lydia gets to her feet and slips under the bottom rope into the ring which allows the referee to call for the bell and the match is underway. Kira gives Lydia a series of double axe handle smashes to the back and then rolls her into an inside cradle pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by Lydia. Kira then stands Lydia up, whips her off the ropes and backdrops her to the mat which draws loud cheers from the crowd. Kira then goes for a knee drop, but Lydia rolls out of the way and then quickly gets to her feet. Lydia then stands Kira up and whips her through the ropes and out to the floor. Lydia drops and heads out to the floor herself, grabs Kira by the hair and slams her head into the guard railing.

Ricky Simms - Lydia came here on a mission tonight.

Henry Lesher - To put me to sleep?

Lydia then whips Kira shoulder first into the steel ring steps while nearby fans boo. Lydia then rolls Kira into the ring before doing the same herself and then she goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Kira. Lydia slaps the mat and has a few words with the referee before standing Kira up, whipping her off the ropes and then giving her a sidewalk slam to the mat. Lydia then stands Kira up, whips her into the corner buckle and then charges in for a shoulder block. She gives Kira a second and then a third shoulder block before giving her a snap suplex back to the center of the ring. Lydia then stands over Kira and looks out at the booing crowd with a smile on her face.

Ricky Simms - Lydia is in full control, but we know better than to count Kira out in a match like this.

Henry Lesher - Yeah, she usually loses by pinfall, not count out.

Lydia stands Kira up, whips her off the ropes and Kira ducks a clothesline before going for a superkick that Lydia ducks and then she gives Kira a flapjack to the mat and then she picks Kira up before giving her a knee to the back and then she rolls Kira over for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Kira. Lydia then stands Kira up only to take a jawbreaker from Kira. Kira then picks Lydia up and slams her to the mat near the corner. Kira then jumps to the top rope and lands a split legged moonsault onto Lydia before trying a pinfall. 1...2... kick out by Lydia. Kira then stands Lydia up, whips her off the ropes and ducks her head for a backdrop. Lydia knees Kira in the side of the head and then gives her a springboard DDT to the mat and into a pin attempt. 1...2...3! Lydia Parizi wins the match and wins the title from Kira, drawing loud boos from the crowd.

Ricky Simms - Lydia has done it!

Henry Lesher - Well, at least Kira lost. That almost made this waste of time worthwhile.

Lydia rolls herself out of the ring and grabs her title belt before she starts to make her way up the ramp to the stage area. She holds her belt high with Corina applauding her and saluting her.

Wren SilverPhoenix is seen leaving her dressing room when she finds herself face to face with Shannon Skanes. There is a moment where they simply glare at one another before they speak.

Shannon Skanes - You never learn.

Wren SilverPhoenix - That makes two of us. You thought I would work with you and not against you?

Shannon Skanes - You're going to fail tonight.

Wren SilverPhoenix - You're wrong. Tonight I take a step towards my destiny, to rule this company as it is finally put out of its misery. Is your ex-wife around?

Shannon Skanes - How would I know?

Wren SilverPhoenix - If you see Myst, tell her I understand.

Shannon Skanes - Understand what?

Wren SilverPhoenix - I understand her fear of me. There can only be one queen bitch of the CWA and that's me. I am still at the top of my game and she's clearly lost a step.

Shannon Skanes - You're out of your mind.

Wren SilverPhoenix - Wrong again, I am thinking more clearly than I ever have and Emma will find out tonight just how big a mistake she made in signing here. Her welcome will be brutal, painful and short.

Wren storms off while Shannon is left to shake his head.

Red Dragon vs. Adam Smith

"Immortal Corrupter" by GWAR plays as Red Dragon comes out onto the stage. He is awash in red smoke as he stands on stage and looks out at the crowd. He raises his hands and poses there for the camera before he starts to make his way down the ramp. We then see Adam Smith charging through the red smoke and attempting a surprise attack on Dragon. Dragon turns and instead backdrops Smith onto the ramp and then gives him a knee drop to the forehead. Dragon then puts the boots to Smith while the referee also emerges from the smoke and tries to restore some order to this one.

Ricky Simms - Adam Smith lovers the attacks before the match has even started.

Henry Lesher - And yet he fails so miserably every time. It's sad to watch really.

Red Dragon pulls Adam Smith down the ramp by his feet to ringside and then he picks up the ring steps. The referee prevents Dragon from striking Adam Smith with the ring steps, so he tosses them aside and then stands Adam up before whipping him shoulder first into the steel corner post. Dragon then rolls Adam into the ring before doing the same himself which allows the referee to call for the bell and start the match. Dragon places Adam into a hammerlock, twisting the shoulder that struck the corner post as much as possible. Smith screams in pain, but does not submit when asked by the referee. Smith then manages to snag the bottom rope with his foot which forces the break of the hold.

Ricky Simms - Red Dragon is here for his first match and he is making it clear that he will not be taken lightly.

Henry Lesher - Hey, he is showing Smith what happens when you rush into a match without thinking. You pay the price and I like this Red Dragon guy. There is potential there.

Smith gets to his feet and starts trading punches with Red Dragon. Dragon then punches the sore shoulder before wrapping Smith's arm around the top rope, trying to stretch the shoulder again. The referee warns Dragon about such tactics, but the warnings appear to fal on deaf ears. Dragon does release the hold on Smith only to eye gouge him, knee him in the gut and then gives him a German suplex to the mat. Dragon then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Smith. Dragon then stands Smith up, whips him off the ropes and goes for a clothesline which Smith ducks and then he gives Dragon a series of rights and lefts to the head before headlocking him and then taking him down with a bulldog. Smith then goes for the quick pin. 1...2... kick out by Dragon. Smith then stands Dragon up, whips him into the corner and goes for a shoulder block, but Dragon side steps that and uses Smith's momentum to send the sore shoulder into the steel corner post.

Ricky Simms - Wow, Adam Smith is in trouble here.

Henry Lesher - Maybe he can go hide in the smoke and, when it clears, not be there.

Red Dragon then picks Adam up and gives him a shoulder breaker before going for the pin. 1...2... Smith kicks out again. Red Dragon then rolls Smith out to the floor before following close behind. Red Dragon goes for the Irish whip into the steel corner post, but Smith stops his forward momentum, turns and eye gouges Dragon before slamming his head into the steel guard railing. Smith then rolls Dragon into the ring before doing the same himself. He pulls Dragon to the center of the ring and then applies a figure four leglock, drawing cheers from the crowd. The referee checks for a submission, but Dragon refuses to give up and he tries to pull himself towards the ropes.

Ricky Simms - The tide has turned and now Red Dragon is fighting for survival in there.

Henry Lesher - Not for long. Smith is not good enough to keep this up.

Dragon pulls himself towards the ropes while Smith tries to hold him still. Smith sees how close Dragon is getting and he actually opts to release the hold. Smith gets to his feet while Dragon uses the ropes to do the same. Smith charges and Dragon ducks, sending Smith over the top rope and down to the floor. Dragon then drops an rolls himself out to the floor, stands Smith up and takes a thumb to the eye from Adam. Adam then slams Dragon's head into the ring apron before rolling him into the ring. Smith then climbs onto the ring apron and then goes to the nearest corner and climbs to the top rope. Dragon gets to his feet and Smith takes to the air. Smith goes for a flying body press, but Dragon ducks that and then he goes to the top rope, facing out towards the crowd. He then lands the Nail In the Coffin and hooks the leg for the pin. 1...2...3! Red Dragon wins in his debut here tonight.

Ricky Simms - That was a great match between two guys I see having a big future in the CWA.

Henry Lesher - If you say so. Dragon does have potential, though. I will give you that. Maybe if I had some time working with this kid, who knows?

Red Dragon heads up the ramp with one arm raised in victory as we then head backstage.

Kathy Smith is seen heading to her office when she is headed off by Corina and Lydia, Parizi not wearing her title belt over her shoulder.

Corina - Look who won.

Kathy Smith - Good for her.

Lydia Parizi - And you're not on the show tonight. How did that happen?

Kathy Smith - Time constraints.

Corina - That's funny. Here I was thinking you chickened out and it was a time thing, was it?

Kathy Smith - I am not scared of anyone.

Lydia Parizi - Yet you're not wrestling tonight. That reels of cowardice.

Kathy then slaps Lydia across the face before ramming hers and Corina's heads together. Kathy then picks Lydia up and slams her to the floor before grabbing Corina by the hair and pulojng her into a nearby locker room. Backstage reporters scatter as Kathy slams Corina's head into a bench in the locker room and then gives her a knee lift to the ribs. Kathy then gives Corina a DDT onto the floor.

Kathy Smith - Like I said, I am not scared of anyone. You're not going anywhere anyway, Corina.

Kathy makes her exit with a flick of her hair and we head back to the ring.

Emma McIntyre vs. Wren SilverPhoenix

"Bad Reputation" by Joan Jett plays as Wren SilverPhoenix makes her way onto the stage, the crowd booing her and her "Rated R Rocks" T-shirt. She takes that off and tosses it at the crowd before giving a few fans the finger. She then heads down the ramp and the pauses at ringside. She grabs the microphone that ring announcer Jen Hawkins had been holding while shoving Jen to the ground.

Wren SilverPhoenix - I want Emma to come out here and fight me and I want this match to be an I Quit match!

Wren lowers the microphone and "Beautiful Monster" by Ne Yo plays. The crowd cheers as Emma storms onto the stage and down the ramp. She doesn't take her eyes off of Wren as she does so, making her way around the ring and then grabbing the microphone from Wren.

Emma McIntyre - I never give up. You're on.

Wren and Emma then start trading punches at ringside while the referee tries to restore order to the chaos. Wren slams Emma's head into the ring apron and Emma slams Wren's head into the steel ring steps. Emma then picks Wren up over her shoulder and charges at the corner post. Wren manages to slide off of Emma's shoulder and shoves her head first into the steel corner post and then gives her a drop toe hold to the floor where she locks in an STF. Emma calls out in pain and Wren tells the referee to ask her, but the referee states this match has to be inside the ring to officially start before she can ask anything.

Ricky Simms - I don't sense a big technical match here.

Henry Lesher - Stop whining. At least these two are going to fight.

Wren releases Emma, rolls her into the ring and then does the same herself which allows for the bell to sounds. Wren then stands Emma up, ties her hands up in the top and middle rope and then starts kicking her in the chest. Wren then chokes her while the referee tries to free Emma from the ropes. Once free, Emma knees Wren in the ribs before giving her a series of forearm smashes to the jaw which back Wren into the corner. Emma then kicks Wren in the chest over and over, until Wren falls to the mat in a heap. Emma then looks out to the cheering fans for a moment before she places Wren's throat over the bottom rope and chokes her with it.

Ricky Simms - Well, this match only ends when someone says "I Quit," but as far as I know, there are rules to this match and it has to finish inside the ring.

Henry Lesher - The new chick fights the old chick. This ought to give nerds at home with their wads of Kleenex something to HD all over.

Emma breaks the choke, then stands Wren up and whips her off the ropes before giving her a dropkick that sends her back down to the mat. Emma then goes to the corner buckle and makes her way up to the top rope. Wren gets to her feet and sees Emma going for a diving shoulder block. Wren catches Emma in mid-air and gives her a hip toss to the mat and quickly turns that into a grapevine submission hold. The referee checks for a submission from Emma, but she refuses to say the two words that will end this match. Even Wren shouting at her to say it doesn't bring an end to this match. Instead, Emma shows signs of powering her way out of it and the crowd starts a chant for the newcomer against the veteran. Wren shouts obscenities at the fans for cheering on the new star, which allows Emma to fight her way free and then Emma gives Wren a jawbreaker before tackling her to the mat where they both trade punches and grapple around on the mat.

Ricky Simms - This is a total brawl and clearly it didn't take long for these two to decide that they don't like one another.

Henry Lesher - Yeah, but Wren does hate everyone. I saw her beating an old lady with her walker in the parking lot earlier. She thought the old lady was illegally parking in a handicapped spot, but then realized she got her cars mixed up. Instead of apologizing, Wren the beat the old lady down with the walker for not clearing up the mix up during the first beating. I understand charges may be pending.

Wren manages to kick Emma away from her and then she jumps to her feet. Emma jumps to her feet and then they start trading knife edge chops to the throat. Emma manages to duck the third knife edge chop from Wren and then gives her an atomic drop followed by a knee to the back. She then whips Wren head first into the corner buckle before she then applies an abdominal stretch on Wren, dragging her closer to the middle of the ring as she does so. The referee checks for a submission, but Wren shakes her head and is unwilling to give up. She then lets out a primal scream before giving Emma a hip toss to the mat in order to break the hold. Wren then applies a Full Nelson as the crowd again starts a chant for Emma.

Ricky Simms - The fans clearly are on Emma's side in this one.

Henry Lesher - That's because they are morons.

Emma manages to put her arms high over her head and then slithers free of Wren's hold. Wren applies a headlock, but this only serves Emma as she gives her a side suplex to the mat and then Emma stands Wren up, whips her off the ropes and leap frogs her before Wren then comes off the ropes and takes a knee to the gut followed by a double underhook suplex to the mat. Emma then goes for an ankle lock submission hold on  Wren, but Wren kicks her away into the corner. Wren then gets to her feet and starts trading punches with Emma again. Emma knees Wren in the gut. Wren thumbs Emma in the eye and then gives her a tilt a whirl backbreaker. Wren then hooks the leg for the pin, but the referee taps her on the back and reminds her this is not a match that can be won via pinfall. Wren slaps the mat and says this is a conspiracy.

Ricky Simms - For God's sake, Wren named the stipulation in this one.

Henry Lesher - Someone must have tricked her into it, Rick.

Wren stands Emma up, whips her off the ropes and both ladies clothesline one another to the mat. The referee paces around the ring, but does not count as the match cannot end in that manner. As the ladies struggle to get up to their hands and knees, the crowd's chants for Emma get louder. Emma grabs Wren by the hair and then whips her through the ropes and out to the floor. Emma then drops and rolls herself out after Wren. She again grabs Wren by the hair and whips her into the steel guard railing. Emma then nods her head and seems ready to end this one. Wren slowly gets to her feet, grabs a fan and actually throws the fan at Emma. The fan and Emma collide and then Wren picks up another fan, this time with purpose and runs the young woman at Emma like a battering ram, catching her in the ribs while the referee calls for the bell. Wren kicks Emma in the gut and then spins the fan around, clipping Emma in the cheek with the feet of the terrified young fan. Wren drops the young female fan next to the other that she had thrown first and then heads to the ramp with her arms raised.

Ricky Simms - Wren used the fans as weapons!

Henry Lesher - Shut the lights off. That's the best thing ever in wrestling. Nothing will ever top that. I demand these two complete again in the first ever "Bring your own fans as weapons" match. We can build an entire event around that concept.

Ricky Simms - You're as sick as Wren is.

The fans cheer the announcement that Wren has been disqualified, but a stunned Emma tells a retreating Wren that this is not over.

Shannon Skanes storms out of his office and down the hall, past a waiting Ray Dees. Dees follows with the microphone as Shannon confronts Wren, who is sweating and appears to be nursing a sore shoulder.

Shannon Skanes - What the hell is wrong with you?

Wren SilverPhoenix - The new bitch was boring me, so I threw a couple of fans at her. They shouldn't have been standing there.

Shannon Skanes - At ringside? Fans shouldn't have been standing at ringside?

Wren SilverPhoenix - *shrugs* They were chanting for Emma, so I got them to meet her. They should be thanking me, you know.

Shannon Skanes - You are really completely off the deep end, aren't you?

Wren SilverPhoenix - Look, any Moose can win a match. I just made this an event, a happening. I made this company worth watching.

Shannon Skanes - And suing.

Wren SilverPhoenix - Eminem got sued when he was hot. WWF was sued when it was hot, changed its name to WWE and the product sucks now. The best things in the world get sued. They get sued for being awesome. I am making this company awesome.

Shannon Skanes - And paying for the lawsuits?

Wren SilverPhoenix - Not my job. You make the bug bucks.

Shannon goes to say something else, but Emma charges in and attacks Wren with a chair to the back. Emma then clubs Wren with the chair as the standard CWA security rushes in to break things up. There's no riot gear or  clubs in their hands and they are wearing yellow shirts with "Security" written in black along the back. They struggle to keep Emma and Wren apart.

Wren SilverPhoenix - I made you a star!

Emma McIntyre - I'll make you a part of history by ending you!

Shannon slinks away and we head back to the ring.

First Degree vs. Austin Houston vs. Rated R

The crowd cheers as Austin Houston makes his way onto the stage and his music plays. He stands on stage for a few moments and tells the camera he is due for his big match, then points to the Dead By Dawn logo which hangs above the stage. Austin then makes his way down the ramp to ringside and then does a lap around the ring where he high fives fans. He then slips under the bottom rope into the ring before he jumps to his feet and poses in the center of the ring for the fans. "Snuff" by Slipknot is then heard and First Degree comes out onto the stage with his Vivid-Gore Title belt over his shoulder. He stands on stage as the crowd boos, looks down into the ring at Austin and shakes his head. He makes his way down the ramp methodically and then hands off the title belt to the timekeeper before he pulls himself onto the ring apron. He steps into the ring and stands nose to nose with Austin. His music fades and then we hear the opening chors of "I Hate Everything About You" by Three Days Grace and Rated R comes out to a louder reaction than First Degree got, though there seems to be a split between cheers and boos for the usually reviled Rated R. He makes his way down the ramp to ringside and looks into the ring at his opponents. He then steps up onto the ring apron and then steps through the ropes, allowing the referee to call for the bell and start the match. First Degree and Austin start trading punches while Rated R watches from a nearby corner.

Ricky Simms - This is a grudge match between these three men, though only two are fighting for a title.

Henry Lesher - Ryan wants his tag match and I hope he gets it. Any time he can finally shut that owner up is a good time for me.

Degree ducks a punch from Houston and then whips him through the ropes and out to the floor. First Degree then approaches Rated R and takes a right hook to the jaw. Ryan then gives First Degree a series of forearm smashes to the jaw which send him backwards to the middle of the ring and then Rated R gives First Degree a vertical suplex to the mat. Rated R then stands First Degree up, whips him off the ropes and both men clothesline one another to the mat while Austin Houston picks up a chair at ringside and then slips back into the ring. Austin quickly attacks both Rated R and First Degree with the chair, landing head shots and shots to the back on both wrestlers while the fans cheer him on.

Ricky Simms - This is hardcore rules and Austin is in full control here.

Henry Lesher - Not for long. He is against two real men here tonight.

Austin sets the chair down on the mat, then stands First Degree up and whips him into the corner buckle. As Degree then stumbles out of the corner, Austin gives him a backdrop onto the chair and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by First Degree. Austin then stands Degree up, whips him off the ropes and goes for a shoulder block, but Degree does not go down. Instead, Degree lands a headbutt on Austin and then gives him a snap suplex onto the chair Austin had just used against him. Degree then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Austin. Degree then stands Austin up, whips him into the corner and then takes a trip down to the mat from Rated R who moves in for an STF. He locks it in and the referee asks for a submission. First Degree refuses and then Austin gives Rated R a running kick to the side of the head, drawing cheers from the crowd.

Ricky Simms - Austin is the man the crowd is behind for sure here.

Henry Lesher - Well, that's the kiss of death.

Austin stands Rated R up only to take a knee to the gut from Ryan who then picks Austin up and gives him a brainbuster to the mat. Rated R then gets to his feet and puts the boots to Austin before he then drops and rolls himself out to he floor. Rated R reaches under the ring and pulls out a table. He slides that into the ring before slipping into the ring himself. He gets to his feet and stands face to face with First Degree. They start trading punches and then First Degree lands an eye gouge on Rated R before whipping him through the ropes and out to the floor. First Degree then starts setting up the table in the middle of the ring. First Degree then goes to Austin, knees him in the ribs and then picks him up and gives him a slam onto the table. First Degree then goes to the corner buckle and makes his way to the top. He poses there and launches himself for a flying body press. Austin brings his knees up to block it, but Degree's weight still causes the table to break and Houston crashes through it to the mat ith First Degree on top, Austin's knees still drawn up as he goes for the pin. 1....2... Austin rolls a shoulder out while we see Rated R slipping back into the ring.

Ricky Simms - I am surprised Austin didn't get pinned there. This guy is tough.

Henry Lesher - Yeah, but he is against two men who are much tougher than he is.

First Degree stands Austin up, whips him at Rated R and Ryan spears Austin to the mat before he then ducks a running clothesline from First Degree. First Degree then takes an inverted neckbreaker from Rated R who then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by First Degree. Rated R then stands First Degree up, whips him off the ropes and then clotheslines hm to the mat before giving him an elbow smash to the throat. Rated R then rolls First Degree out of the ring and then follows out after him. Rated R then grabs the ring steps and takes a run at First Degree. Degree kicks the steps back into the face of Rated R, sending him down to the floor. First Degree then picks Rated R up and slams him onto the ring steps, then he rolls Rated R into the ring where it's Austin who moves in for the pin. 1...2... Rated R gets a foot on the bottom rope.

Ricky Simms - Smart move by Austin there and it nearly paid off.

Henry Lesher - Yeah, he almost stole a win that belonged to someone else. That might be the only way he gets a win, though, so I can't be too mad at him for that.

Austin stands Rated R up, whips him into the corner and then goes for a running clothesline, but Rated R catches him in the chin with a kick instead. First Degree then reaches into the ring from behind Rated R, pulls his feet out from under him and then pulls him into the corner buckle, splitting the uprights against the steel corner post. First Degree then slips back into the ring and picks up the chair which had been lying inside the ring. Degree clubs Rated R across the back with it and then lands a chair shot to the head on Austin. Degree then drops the chair, places Austin's throat over the bottom rope and chokes him with it. The crowd starts a chant for Austin, but behind First Degree we see Rated R getting to his feet. He kicks First Degree in the back of the neck and then whips him through the ropes and out to the floor. He then stands Austin up, whips him off the ropes and kicks him in the chest. Austin staggers, Rated R then picks him up and delivers the Restricted on Austin, sending him down to the mat where he goes for the pin. 1...2... Degree breaks it up as he pulls Rated R from the ring.

Ricky Simms - Ryan had him, but First Degree ends it at two.

Henry Lesher - Well, they are battling it out as the two true stars of this match.

Degree and Rated R exchange punches on the floor. Inside the ring, Austin slowly gets to his feet. He spots his opponents outside the ring, takes a few steps back and then launches himself through the ropes and lands a flying body press onto both men. First Degree and Rated R both crumple to the floor as Austin then stands over them and the crowd cheers. Austin then stands rated R up and rolls him into the ring before doing the same himself. Austin then picks up the well worn and dented chair and readies for a chair shot. Rated R slowly gets to his feet and raises his hands to block a chair shot, pulls the chair from Austin, knees him below the belt and then picks him up for the Restricted onto the chair before going for the pin. 1...2...3! Rated R wins the match.

Ricky Simms - Ryan wins and gets the math he wants in a month's time at Bloodshed.

Henry Lesher - Rated R teams with Myst to face Shannon Skanes and Kathy Smith. I like it.

Rated R rolls himself out to the floor and then stands nose to nose with First Degree. Rated R steps back and both men back off which draws boos from the crowd. Rated R smirks as he makes his way up the ramp to the stage area, clearly satisfied with the outcome.

Lydia Parizi is seen leaving the building when she runs into Rose Lemieux. Lydia holds the belt up to Rose's face.

Lydia Parizi - Look what I got.

Rose Lemieux - I heard something that I had to tell you before you go out to celebrate.

Lydia Parizi - Oh, this should be rich.

Rose Lemieux - Due to the lack of interest shown in that belt, the CWA management team has finally agreed on something. Next week at Breakthrough, you defend that belt in an open challenge. This is the start of a pattern you won't like as that belt will be defended via an open challenge at every pay per view.

Lydia Parizi - That's not fair!

Rose Lemieux - Apparently when you won the belt, it showed any woman could, so it degraded the belt in the eyes of the board. Have a nice big party, Lydia.

Lydia fumes as Rose walks off and we return to the ring for the main event.



"Always" by Saliva plays as JGH comes out onto the stage where the crowd gives him a solid pop. He holds his Rocky Mountain Title high and says that a second belt id going to look good over his shoulder at the end of this one. JGH starts to make his way down the ramp and waves to a few fans as he does so. He reaches ringside, hands off his title belt to the timekeeper and then we see Slim Pickens charging down the ramp and not waiting his turn to come out. He meets JGH at ringside and they start trading punches. The referee calls for the bell as this match is falls count anywhere, so they don't need to reach the ring to have the match start.

Ricky Simms - Lucy isn't out here yet, but her match has started.

Henry Lesher - That is  the only hope either of these men have to take the title away from her.

JGH gives Slim an inverted atomic drop, then a headbutt which causes Slim to stagger back, but not fall down. JGH then goes for a clothesline which Slim ducks before giving JGH a Rock Bottom to the floor and then he goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by JGH as an enraged Lucy Johnson quickly makes her way down the ramp, screaming that she wasn't ready yet. She grabs the referee by the arm and demands to know why this match was started without her. As the referee starts to explain, Slim tries for a roll up on her. 1...2... kick out by Lucy. Lucy gets to her feet quickly and starts kicking Slim in the ribs. She then stands him up and runs him head first into the guard railing. Lucy then gives Slim a side Russian leg sweep to the floor. She then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Slim. She then gets to her feet where JGH manages to kick her in the ribs and then he gives her a tilt a whirl backbreaker, the action staying on the floor so far. JGH stands over his foes and then he gives Lucy a leg drop to the chest before he goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Lucy.

Ricky Simms - There are a lot of early near falls in this one.

Henry Lesher - Well, they have to take any advantage they can get or Lucy will squash them.

JGH stands Lucy up and rolls her into the ring before he rolls himself in as well. JGH then stands Lucy up, whips her off the ropes and gives her a dropkick down to the mat. JGH then sits her up and applies a sleeperhold on her. The referee checks for a submission, but Lucy indicates she will not submit. She reaches out for the ropes while Slim gets to his feet on the floor and sees what's happening inside the ring. Slim stalks his way around the ring until he is behind JGH, then slips into the ring and places JGH in a sleeperhold as well. JGH loses his grip on Lucy as he now has to fight his way out of a sleeper as well. Lucy crawls to the ropes and starts putting herself up while JGH refuses to submit to the hold.

Ricky Simms - There is some great back and forth action in this one. These three are getting to know each other well inside the ring.

Henry Lesher - But Lucy is still going to win. Lethal Attraction rules this company.

Lucy gets to her feet and then gives Slim a running kick to the head. He falls to the mat and she then stands JGH up, whips him into the corner buckle and then she lands a handspring back elbow to the chin on JGH before giving him a monkey flip to the center of the ring. Lucy then quickly gets to her feet and goes for a lionsault, but JGH manages to raise his knees and catches her in the ribs with them. She falls to the mat as JGH slowly gets to his feet only to be caught with a series of punches to the head by Slim Pickens. Slim then gives JGH a swinging neckbreaker to the mat and goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by JGH.

Ricky Simms - It has to be tough for Lucy to know she can lose her title without technically losing the match.

Henry Lesher - It's the only hope Slim or JGH have in this one.

Slim rolls JGH out of the ring and then whips him over the guard railing and into the aisle between the fans. Slim steps over the railing and then starts putting the boots to JGH before he then pulls him up towards the back of the aisle. Nearby fans cheer as JGH then starts trading punches with Slim. JGH then gives Slim a belly to belly overhead suplex onto the aisle before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Slim. Lucy Johnson is seen leaving the ring and heading over the railing. Lucy then charges and clotheslines JGH to the floor. Lucy then gives JGH a knee drop to the forehead and she goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by JGH.

Ricky Simms - The action is all in the middle of the crowd now.

Henry Lesher - Slim and JGH were taking the action away from Lucy. They know they can't pin her and their only hope is to pin each other.

Lucy stands JGH up and pulls him to the back of the aisle. She then gives him a snap suplex to the floor. Slim slowly makes his way up the aisle and is handed a beer by a fan. Slim takes a drink and then throws the rest into Lucy's eyes. He then gives her a headbutt and follows that up with an eye gouge and then he pulls her by the hair towards a T-shirt vendor. Slim grabs a T-shirt with First Degree's face on it, pulls it over Lucy's head and then spins her around a few times. She staggers, blinded and dizzy and then Slim tackles her to the floor where he goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Lucy.

Ricky Simms - Well, that was unusual and apparently not against the rules.

Henry Lesher - What's with that? Since when does a falls count anywhere match have rules?

Ricky Simms - The feeling was with the Vivid-Gore match not having rules, this match had to in order to distinguish the matches from each other.

JGH gets to his feet and goes over to Slim and they start trading punches again. JGH then knees Slim in the gut before giving him a double underhook suplex to the floor. JGH then gives Slim an elbow smash to the throat and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Slim. JGH stands Slim up as Lucy manages to get free of the shirt over her head. JGH then runs Slim into Lucy and they both fall to the floor. JGH then lands a leg drop to the chest on Lucy before he tries to pin her. 1...2... kick out by Lucy. JGH then stands Lucy up and she knees him in the gut before slamming his head into the vendor's table and then she gives him a DDT to the floor. She goes for the pin. 1...2... Slim pulls Lucy off of JGH. She stands Lucy up and takes a jawbreaker from Lucy. She then spears Slim and he falls back into a wall before slipping to the floor. Lucy puts the boots to him and then she pulls Slim away from the wall. She climbs onto the vendor's table and lands a flying elbow smash to the chest on Slim and then goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Lucy wins the match and retains her title.

Ricky Simms - Tremendous match for Lucy here as she manages to survive a brutal challenge from two solid CWA stars tonight.

Henry Lesher - Well, she won and that's what matters.

Lucy staggers her way down the aisle and to ringside. She climbs over the guard railing and grabs her title belt. She heads up the ramp to a waiting First Degree who is applauding her. They embrace and fans boo them loudly as they head towards the backstage area together. The show then fades to black.
