Vesuvius is seen backstage with Crystal Braun.

Crystal Braun - We are outside the locker room for Magnus Divine.

Vesuvius - Yes and we are expecting him to come out any moment for what he has coming to him.

Crystal takes a step back and Vesuvius knocks at the door. He raises a chair and swings it as the door opens, clocking Andie Hawkins in the process which causes Vesuvius to curse and toss the chair aside before the opening credits roll, "Burn It To the Ground" by Nickelback playing as images of Rose Lemieux, Bombshell, Hoshi Yakamoto, Gary Barber, Moose, Max Cameron, Vigilante, Jack Spade, Malk, and Tommy Purr cross the screen before we head to ringside where Henry Lesher and Ricky Simms are all set to call tonight's action.

"Where Eagles Dare" by The Misfits plays as The Moose comes out onto the stage and receives a loud ovation from the crowd. He then makes his way down the ramp to ringside before he pulls himself onto the ring apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. He motions for a microphone and Sammy Jo Johnson throws hers into the ring to him.

The Moose - This week, I threw down a challenge to The Pale Rider, Steve Hawkins. So, what will it be Steve?

"Cowboy" by Kid Rock plays as Steve Hawkins makes his way onto the stage and he also receives a loud ovation from the crowd. He stands on stage and appears quite agitated. He then runs down the ramp and rolls under the bottom rope into the ring and grabs the microphone from Moose.

Steve Hawkins - Moose, I am more than willing to throw down against you this week. I never back down from a challenge, BUT.... Vesuvius, you damnable coward, you hit my sister when you're trying to clock Magnus Divine? People who clock my little sister have a life of pain ahead of them, you bastard! Moose is here and I am here. Bring whoever you want and let's settle this!

Moose nods and says he is up for a fight, patting Hawkins on the shoulder.

They face the stage, but the lights go out.

Ricky Simms - This isn't good.

Henry Lesher - Depends who you're cheering for, Rick.

The lights come up and Vesuvius is inside the ring with Kindred, Arizona, Orlock, and Samson. They have surrounded Hawkins and Moose. Not caring about the numbers advantage that their enemies have, Hawkins and Moose start throwing punches wildly at the others. Hawkins then takes a boot to the face from Vesuvius which brings him down to the mat while we see Magnus Divine rushing down the ramp and slipping into the ring with a kendo stick in hand. He clocks Orlock with it and then clotheslines Kindred over the top rope and out to the floor. Moose rams Samson and Arizona's heads together and then hip tosses Arizona over the top rope while Vesuvius starts trading punches with Magnus. Magnus ducks a wild right from Vesuvius and then gives him a head butt before throwing him over the top rope and out to the floor. Samson slinks out of the ring and heads up the ramp in full retreat while Vesuvius tells Magnus that this isn't over.

Ricky Simms - Looks like Vesuvius is not winning this one. Magnus made the save before this got really ugly.

Henry Lesher - Depends who you're cheering for, like I said Rick.

Lauren Strong stands with Neriah Sweet backstage in the hallway near the production truck.

Neriah Sweet - Lauren, you wanted to say a word about next week's Paper, Rock, Scissors match?

Lauren Strong - I wanted to say it will be great to get inside the ring again. I have been wanting a chance to...

She is interrupted as Scavenger steps in.

Scavenger - Lauren, you're not going into another match like this.

Lauren Strong - Jake, you don't tell me what to do. I am doing what I can to help provide for Carlie.

Scavenger - Who?

Lauren Strong - Our daughter!!

Scavenger - Spartacus?

Lauren Strong - I am not going through this with you again. Next week, I will stand in that ring and battle it out as I see fit. There isn't a damned thing you can do about it.

She storms off. Scavenger looks confused.

Scavenger - Little Sparty gets so upset when her mother is like this.

Neriah Sweet - You mean Carlie.

Scavenger - Who?

Neriah shakes her head and walks off while Scavenger mutters to himself and heads in the opposite direction.

Kira Yakamoto vs. Bombshell

"Baby Baby Baby" by Endeverafter plays as Kira Yakamoto makes her way onto the stage where she gets a solid reaction from the crowd. She makes her way down the ramp and then we see Danny Dixon coming out onto the stage, following behind her. Kira reaches ringside and embraces Danny before she pulls herself onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. She then tests the ropes while her music fades and then we hear "Piece of Me" by Britney Spears and Bombshell comes out onto the stage with Noah Skanes at her side. The crowd cheers them on as they make their way down the ramp to ringside and then Noah kisses Yvonne on the cheek before she steps up onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. The referee then calls for the bell and the two divas shake hands before locking up.

Ricky Simms - This should be a big test for Kira.

Henry Lesher - This should be a huge test for anyone prone to narcolepsy.

Kira backs Bombshell into the ropes and then whips her off the ropes before giving her a spinning heel kick that sends her down to the mat. Kira then lands a springboard leg drop across the chest on Bombshell before going for the quick pin. 1...2... kick out by Bombshell. Kira then stands Bombshell up, whips her off the ropes and then gives her a backdrop to the mat. Kira then stands Bombshell up and takes an eye gouge from Bombshell who then whips Kira off the ropes and gives her a dropkick to the mat. Bombshell then goes to the ropes, jumps to the top and then leaps off giving Kira a flying headscissors to the mat and holding her head there trying for a submission.

Ricky Simms - Kira refusing to submit to Bombshell's hold.

Henry Lesher - I am surprised the smell doesn't kill her.

Ricky Simms - Okay, Doc, stop that!

Kira manages to snag the bottom rope with her foot to force the break of the hold and then she rolls herself out to the floor for a breather. Bombshell gets to her feet inside the ring and has her hands on her hips waiting for Kira to get back into the ring. Dixon has a few words of advice for Kira on the floor and then Kira rolls herself back into the ring where Bombshell greets her by putting the boots to her. Bombshell then stands Kira up, whips her into the corner buckle and goes for a handspring back elbow, but Kira headlocks Bombshell and bulldogs her to the mat and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Bombshell who then rolls Kira into an inside cradle pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by Kira who quickly gets to her feet and then kicks Bombshell in the side of the head. Kira stands Bombshell up, whips her into the corner and then gives her a knee to the gut followed by a snap mare into a sleeper hold.

Ricky Simms - Now it's Kira trying to get Yvonne to submit.

Henry Lesher - They should be asking me. I gave up before the match started.

Bombshell refuses to submit to the hold when asked and then she gives Kira a series of elbows to the gut before giving her a snap mare to the mat. Bombshell then goes for the quick pin. 1...2... kick out by Kira. Bombshell then stands Kira up, whips her off the ropes and misses with a clothesline as Kira ducks it and then she gives Bombshell a knee to the gut and then gives her a swinging neckbreaker to the mat. Kira then stands Bombshell up, whips her into the corner and then boot chokes her. The referee counts towards a five count, but Kira breaks the choke and then delivers a Kira-guri before rolling Bombshell to the mat into a pin attempt. 1...2...3! Kira gets the win over Bombshell this week. Kira then climbs the ropes in the corner and poses for the cheering fans.

Ricky Simms - Solid win for Kira.

Henry Lesher - No one cares.

We see Samson backstage with Joe Davidson.

Joe Davidson - Samson, it would appear your attack attempt earlier wasn't successful.

Samson - You weren't paying attention then.

Joe Davidson - I guess you need to enlighten me.

Samson - You see, Steve called us out. We came out. He went down.

Joe Davidson - Then Magnus showed up.

Samson - This isn't about Magnus. Vesuvius will deal with him.

Joe Davidson - But you have a title match with Noah. Why are you after Steve?

Samson - Your mind cannot fathom this?

Joe Davidson - You know what? Your father was a delusional, self-important fool who burned out early. You're on the same path, kid.

Samson - Watch what you say there, Joe. You hold the microphone like a good little monkey or I will...

Carl Simms - *entering the shot behind Samson* Or you'll what?

Samson - Well, hey, it's another second generation star. Why don't you go call a match with your father? That is your destiny after all.

Carl Simms - Joe's right. You are clueless.

Carl superkicks Samson in the jaw, sending him sprawling to the floor. He then shakes his head as he walks away and Joe is seen smiling and giving Carl a thumbs up.

Tommy Purr & The Natural Blondes vs. Jack Spade & Malk

"Voices" by Rev Theory plays as Malk and Jack Spade make their way out onto the stage, arguing with one another. Spade refuses to follow Malk and Malk refuses to follow Spade. Finally, they make their way down the ramp side by side while they continue to argue. At ringside, Malk says he is the next Old School champ and Jack tells him he's full of it. Jack then rolls Malk under the bottom rope into the ring and tells him he's starting the match. Jack pulls himself onto the apron and takes a shove to the chest from Malk and they start arguing again while their music fades. We then hear "Downfall" by Trust Company and Tommy Purr makes his way onto the stage, a member of the Natural Blondes on each arm while smiling for his fans. The World Title rests around his waist and he winks at the camera as he passes by. Kaleigh and Rose then head to their corner while Tommy pulls himself onto the apron and stands face to face with Malk. They talk for a moment or two before Tommy steps through the ropes into the ring and the referee calls for the bell.

Ricky Simms - This is a test for Malk here.

Henry Lesher - He knows Tommy is better than he is. That's why he is a follower of Purr.

Malk and Tommy lock up. Tommy kicks Malk in the gut. Malk falls back in a comedic fashion and tags in Jack with a slap to the face. Jack protests to the referee that was not a tag as Malk falls through the ropes and out to the floor face down. Malk is motionless as Jack steps into the ring. Jack locks up with Tommy, then Tommy gives Jack a series of forearm smashes to the jaw which back him to the ropes. Tommy then whips Jack off the ropes and then gives him a backdrop to the mat while Malk gets to his feet on the floor with a smile on his face.

Ricky Simms - It is a good ploy for Malk to have Jack weakened going into their match next week.

Henry Lesher - It would be perfect if Moose wasn't also in that match.

Tommy puts the boots to Spade, then pulls him to his corner and tags in Rose Lemieux. Rose and Tommy stand Jack up, whip him off the ropes and then give him a double dropkick to the mat. Rose then goes to the ropes and makes her way to the top and then lands a moonsault onto Jack before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Jack Spade. Rose then stands Jack up and takes a thumb to the eye from Spade. He then rakes her eyes along the top rope and then gives her a punch to the throat and then gives her a facebuster to the mat and then he goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Rose. Jack then stands, comes off the ropes and then dives to his corner. He slaps Malk across the face for the tag as he then rolls out to the floor.

Ricky Simms - Turnabout is fair play for Jack there.

Henry Lesher - No argument from me, Rick.

Malk steps into the ring and looks pretty ticked as he greets Rose with a knee to the gut and then gives her a power bomb to the mat. He then goes over to the ropes and spits through them at Jack. Jack jumps onto the apron as Rose rolls Malk into a school boy pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by Malk. Rose then rolls to her corner and tags in Kaleigh. Rose then stands Malk up, and with Kaleigh, they whip Malk off the ropes and give him a double dropkick to the mat. Rose exits the ring while Kaleigh stands Malk up, whips him into the corner buckle and then goes for a monkey flip only to have Malk push her off. Malk then puts the boots to Kaleigh.

Ricky Simms - Not looking good for my girl here.

Henry Lesher - She does have issues with actually wrestling, yes.

Malk stands Kaleigh up, whips her off the ropes and then gives her a big boot to the chest which brings her back down to the mat. Malk then tags in Jack Spade, this time properly. Spade steps into the ring and then takes a spinebuster from Malk. Malk then picks Jack up and power slams him to the mat and then picks Kaleigh up and slams her onto Jack before he rolls himself out of the ring and the referee counts the pin. 1...2...3! Tommy Purr and The Natural Blondes win the match.

Ricky Simms - Malk just lost that match on purpose and sent a message to Jack there.

Henry Lesher - Well, I don't care as long as Tommy gets a win tonight.

Malk makes his way up the ramp while telling the camera that he is going to be the next Old School champion. He then takes a spear to the stage from a charging Moose. Moose then puts the boots to Malk and tells him he'll see him next week and that the title is his.

Ricky Simms - So much for Jack being the only one hurt before the match. Moose takes a shot at Malk here and sends a message of his own.

Henry Lesher - Hey, Moose isn't here to be friends with anyone.
 
Myst is seen in her office when Paulie La Cerva storms in.

Myst - Yes?

Paulie La Cerva - The number one contender gauntlet is next.

Myst - Your point is?

Paulie La Cerva - Pyrophoric is next week.

Myst - Again, your point is?

Paulie La Cerva - What if someone wins and throws off matches we already have made?

Myst - You doubt my ability to think on my feet? You're spineless. Is this what the GM job has brought you to?

Paulie La Cerva - I want to see an event next week that makes the CWA an obscene amount of money and we are close. I know we are close.

Myst - I am not arguing you on that at all.

Paulie La Cerva - But we really might have made a mistake here.

Myst - *smirks* I don't make mistakes. I divorce them.

#1 Contender Gauntlet

"Hell's Bells" by AC/DC plays as Max Cameron makes his way onto the stage. The crowd has a mixed reaction to Max and he tells the camera he is going to get his shot at Tommy next week. Max reaches ringside and then pulls himself onto the apron before stepping through the ropes into the ring. His music then fades and we hear "The Movie" by Aerosmith and Hoshi Yakamoto makes her way onto the stage where she hears boos from the crowd. She makes her way down the ramp and pauses at ringside to look around. Satisfied that the crowd is apparently to her liking, Hoshi slips under the bottom rope into the ring and the referee calls for the bell. Hoshi gets to her feet and starts trading punches with Max. Max then elbows Hoshi in the jaw and then gives her a clothesline to the mat.

Ricky Simms - This is going to be quite the gauntlet match.

Henry Lesher - Not to me it won't. Look what we're starting with.

Max stands Hoshi up, whips her off the ropes and then misses with a clothesline as she ducks it and then she gives Max a backslide into a pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by Max who quickly gets to his feet and starts landing forearm smashes to the back on Hoshi. He then whips her through the ropes and out to the floor. Max takes a step back and then does a suicide dive through the ropes onto Hoshi, sending her back down to the floor and drawing loud cheers from the fans. Max then stands over Hoshi for a moment before he then rolls himself into the ring. Hoshi gets to her feet on the floor and then pulls herself onto the apron. Max takes a step towards her and she thumbs him in the eye, then leaps to the top rope and executes a springboard bulldog to the mat on Max before she goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Max.

Ricky Simms - Max is staying in this one.

Henry Lesher - He wouldn't be if we were calling it.

Hoshi stands Max up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a dropkick to the mat. She then goes to the ropes and makes her way to the top. Max gets to his feet as she leaps. Max catches Hoshi in mid air and then throws her over his shoulder before giving her an F5 to the mat and then he goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Hoshi. Max shakes his head as he then stands her up, whips her off the ropes and knees her in the gut before giving her a snap suplex to the mat. Max then goes to the ropes and climbs to the second rope. He then leaps off and lands a double axe handle smash across the back on Hoshi. Max then stands her up, whips her off the ropes and misses with a clothesline as she ducks it and then goes for a reverse neckbreaker, but Max elbows her in the ribs and then gives her a DDT to the mat. Max goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Hoshi.

Ricky Simms - Neither wrestler is going to give an inch here.

Henry Lesher - The fans are running for the exits.

Max stands Hoshi up, whips her off the ropes and then goes for a dropkick, but she side steps it and then elbows Max in the chest before he has a chance to get up. Lesher is then seen getting up from his position at the announce table. Hoshi stands Max up, whips him into the corner and goes for a shoulder block, but he steps out of the way. Max then rams her head into the turnbuckle pad five time while the fans count the shots. He then pulls her to the mat by her hair and then spots Lesher at ringside. He has words with Lesher and the good doctor eggs Max on. Hoshi then rolls Max into a school boy, hooking the tights out of sight of the referee. 1...2...3!

Ricky Simms - Max is out!

Lesher applauds at ringside while Max slips out of the ring and attacks Lesher with a vicious boot to the chin and then starts laying the boots to him.

Ricky Simms - Okay, Max, he's had enough!

Ricky stands up, takes off his headset and makes his way over to Max. Max stands back and smirks as Ricky stands over Lesher and motions him to stand back. We see Kaleigh Simms rushing down the ramp to ringside. She heads around the ring and gets between her father and Max. Max nods his head and starts to turn away, but then he kicks Kaleigh in the face before giving Ricky a clothesline to the floor. Max then puts the boots to Ricky, picks up a nearby chair and slams it across the back of Ricky Simms. He then stands Kaleigh up and whips her shoulder first into the steel corner post and then rolls her into the ring while Hoshi exits the ring wisely. Max enters the ring with the chair still in hand. He puts the boots to Kaleigh and then places the chair around her head before he starts to climb the nearby ropes. We then hear "Rusted From the Rain" by Billy Talent and the crowd goes wild as Carl Simms slides into the ring from the crowd and pulls Max off the ropes before giving him punches to the head. Carl then picks Max up and gives him a piledriver to the mat and then stands over him for a few moments before we hear "A Place For My Head" by Linkin Park and Myst steps out onto the stage, shaking her head.

Myst - No, no, no, this is all wrong. You leave it to Max and he screws everything up. Okay, I will think on my feet here. Since Max ruined this match, next week at Pyrophoric he will face both Carl and Kaleigh Simms in a falls count anywhere match. I'm personally sick of seeing him attack announcers, so the next time he does, I'll fire him for good. I have just had enough. Now, what does this do for The Mask, Greyson, Hoshi and Vigilante? Well, Greyson has his TV match next week, so we will keep that. Greyson will then face the winner of next week's Pyrophoric world title match in two weeks. If he beats the champ in two weeks, he earns a title shot all by himself. Vigilante, The Mask and Hoshi will ALL take on Tommy Purr in a four corners match for the World title since Max screwed this damned thing up tonight. Just to be fair to Max, if he wins next week, then he gets to face anyone he wants to in two weeks at Overdrive. That's right, Max. You get anyone you bloody want. That should shut your sorry ass up. The CWA expects top notch effort from the top stars in this company. You had better impress me this week.

Her music plays again as she makes her exit and Carl Simms leaves the ring to check on his father and sister. We then fade to black.
