Alrighty dcw1, let's get to it! - Solid start to Warfare with Bullet Club turning their backs on Adam Cole and the introduction of their newest member: Jacob Fatu! I think Fatu is a fine choice and I'm curious to see how you'll use him. It looks like this will bring Cole and Britt Baker back together, though, and I'n curious how they'll respond to this.
- I thought Guevara/Alexander sounded like a banger with the right man winning (for my interests, anyways)
- Mickie James vs. a (presumably still injured) Britt for the Women's title next week? I dig it, though part of me would've liked to have seen the match take place on this show
- Excited to see what you do with Rex Steiner. I actually hope he's a fast riser in the PWU and a victory over Rey Fenix would do just that (but so would a loss after a major, impressive showing)
- I'm not the biggest fan of super natural LORE stuff, so the Black/Scherr thing doesn't tickle my fancy; however, sign me up for Black/Joe at Fall of Man!
- Definitely surprised that Karl Anderson defeated Johnny Gargano!
- I dug the exchange between Danielson and Benjamin.
- Thought Scherr/Joe was pretty solid
- The ole "dissension in the ranks!" I'm looking forward to see if the Bullet Club is headed for a bit of a civil war
- Punk brought up some solid points in his promo and I am definitely loving the idea of him vs. Omega, even if Punk initially rejected the challenge
- Next week's card is shaping up to be great
- I thought the main event and aftermath was quite good. I'm intrigued to see how this plays out.
I thought this was a really good show. Honestly my only quibble is with your formatting, specifically with your dialogues. It's not as easy to read when it's all in one paragraph but that's just me. Other than that, I have no complaints

Thanks for the kind words as always, I’m gonna change the formatting for dialogue as I also agree it’s quite difficult to read.

What have we just seen indeed. The Bullet Club seems to heavily disapprove of their leader's actions on this night. That's never good....as I can attest to.

2nd September 2021The show opens with the arena arrival of Adam Cole and the PWU Women’s Champion Dr Britt Baker DMD!! Both of them get out the car and begin walking towards backstage. Baker is still favouring her ribs and walking gingerly. Cole tells her to wait up and he returns to the car and unlocks the car door emerging after a few moments with a baseball bat! Cole joins hands with Baker before they nod at each other and continue walking into the arena as the show opening begins to roll!
Pyro explodes as the 25th episode of Warfare gets under way live from the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana!!
Ranallo: ”Warfare is well and truly upon us!! For 25th time, a huge night in PWU as Adam Cole and Britt Baker are on the warpath against the Bullet Club after what we saw last week!”
McGuinness: ”They are indeed, Britt Baker defending her Women’s Championship tonight against former champion Mickie James, will Britt’s injuries from last week cost her the title tonight? We’ll find out later!”
Ranallo: ”Also tonight, the continuation of the Television Title tournament qualifiers!”
Suddenly we see general manager Stu Bennett enter the stage area accompanied by PWU President Davey Williams! Bennett has the microphone in his hand:
”Now this isn’t a wrestling show where authority starts the show, comes out and cuts a 20 minute promo and leaves, so we’ll make this quick. Davey and I have been thinking about what CM Punk said last week and despite his constant complaining and moaning, he may have a point. Punk will get a shot at the PWU World Championship and will be added to the Aleister/Joe match at Fall Of Man…….IF he wins tonight’s main event. Tonight, CM Punk will take on……..Samoa Joe!!”
The crowd goes crazy as Bennett and Williams head to the back!
Ranallo: ”What an announcement by our GM Stu Bennett! CM Punk has got his chance to be added to the title match at Fall Of Man but tonight he has to get past Samoa Joe first tonight!”
McGuinness: ”What a main event for the 25th Warfare!”
Rex Steiner vs. Rey Fenix (Television Championship tournament qualifier) A fast start to this one, Fenix kicks away at Steiner’s legs to start the match off trying to take the big man off his vertical base. Steiner retaliates with a big power clothesline sending Fenix down! Steiner continues his offence and throws Fenix into the corner, levelling him with a flurry of hard back elbows to the face. Steiner whips Fenix to the opposite turnbuckle but Fenix uses the turnbuckle to back flip over Steiner who was coming in after him and follows up with an enziguri to the side of Steiner’s head! Fenix delivers a few jumping uppercuts and goes for a tornado DDT but Steiner uses his power to throw Fenix across the ring landing on his front! Steiner charges at Fenix before executing a belly to belly suplex! Steiner is pumped up and riles up the crowd. Steiner whips Fenix off the ropes and hits a frankensteiner! Steiner hooks Fenix leg behind him, 1……2…..kick out! Steiner continues his bullish offence and goes for a corner splash but Fenix moves out the way just in time! Fenix hits a rope assisted enziguri which staggers Steiner. Fenix springs to the top rope and hits a beautiful missile dropkick knocking Steiner down and sends him rolling to the outside! Steiner tries to clear his cobwebs but Fenix gives him no time before hitting a tope con hilo on top of Steiner gaining a big reaction from the crowd! Fenix rolls Steiner into the ring and waits for him to reach his feet. Fenix attempts a springboard hurricarana but Steiner delivers a devastating powerbomb, the back of Fenix’s head bouncing off the mat! Steiner covers, 1……2….Fenix kicks out! Steiner attempts a camel clutch but Fenix trips Steiner and Steiner falls onto the middle rope, Fenix follows up with a rope assisted swinging kick to the face! Steiner again dazed and Fenix goes for a rolling thunder cutter but Steiner catches him and in one movement tosses him into the air and drives him to the mat with a spear in mid air!! Steiner hooks the leg, 1…..2…..3! Steiner advances into the TV Championship tournament in a hot opener! Steiner helps Fenix up after the match and the two shake hands.
Ranallo: ”Steiner advances and will be in the first round of the TV title tournament! Great way to open Warfare!”
McGuinness: ”Great sportsmanship displayed by both men after a great match! Rex Steiner…..still undefeated!”
A highlight video airs from the closing moments of last week’s Warfare with the apparent alliance between the International Champion Andrade and former champion Claudio Castagnoli when they attacked Bryan Danielson.
After the video airs, we see Bryan Danielson entering the office of Stu Bennett and Davey Williams. Danielson slams his hands on the desk.
“Look Stu/Davey I know tonight I’m supposed to be going up against Shelton Benjamin but I already took care of that last week. I want to take care of the other issue from last week, I want Castagnoli tonight….one on one!”
Davey responds: “Bryan, I agree you deserve your match after what happened last week but I’m a little worried about your frame of mind after what happened last week and also Andrade and Castagnoli are not here tonight so how about we do this…..tonight you can have the night off but you WILL get your match with Castagnoli tomorrow night in the main event of the first ever episode of FIGHT! What do you think?”
Bryan nods his head in agreement before responding…
“Tomorrow night….Castagnoli will see a different side of Bryan Danielson…..”
Danielson leaves the office as ‘Yes!’ chants fill the arena.
Ranallo: ”How about that tomorrow night on FIGHT, Bryan Danielson and Claudio Castagnoli will battle one on one in the main event!”
McGuinness: ”That will be incredible, also on the historical first episode of FIGHT tomorrow night, Sammy Guevara takes on Kevin Steen in the first round of the Television Title tournament! Steen gets a bye into the first round as he was the Xcite Champion heading in to Blood In The Sand!”
Ranallo: ”Also on FIGHT, the winner of tonight’s match between Keith Lee and Ricochet takes on Karl Anderson in the first round of the TV Title tournament!”
McGuinness: ”That could be seen as a disadvantage by some although both men are finely conditioned athletes and agreed that they would be willing to wrestle two nights in a row especially if it means the chance to advance in the Television Championship tournament!”
’Limitless’ Keith Lee vs. Ricochet The crowd give Keith Lee a good ovation upon his return to PWU TV!
The match starts with Lee using his sheer power, bundling Ricochet into the corner and delivering a series of corner clotheslines to his smaller opponent. Lee then hits a huge hiptoss throwing Ricochet across the ring. Lee clubs at Ricochet’s back and whips him off the ropes, Lee ducks for a back body drop but Ricochet leapfrogs and connects with a dropsault as Lee turns around. Ricochet hits a basement dropkick taking out Lee’s leg, sending the big man to one knee before hitting a nice tornado DDT! Ricochet covers, 1……2….no! Lee gets the shoulder up. Ricochet wastes no time and hits a standing star press and goes for another cover but Lee kicks out with authority and throws Ricochet through the middle rope whilst kicking out! Ricochet lands hard and Keith Lee gets to his feet and springs to the outside with a corkscrew dive on to Ricochet! Incredible agility by the big man. Lee picks Ricochet up and gorilla presses him back into the ring through the middle rope. Lee runs at Ricochet, Ricochet ducks to the mat, Lee leapfrogs before catching Ricochet coming back with a huge crossbody! Lee covers, 1……2…..nooo! Ricochet kicks out. Lee whips Ricochet off the ropes and goes for a spinebuster but Ricochet counters into a codebreaker driving his knees into Lee’s face! Ricochet heads to the top rope and goes for a high cross body but Lee catches him in mid air and delivers a hard fallaway slam! Lee measures Ricochet and waits for him to get to his feet before charging for the pounce but Ricochet moves out the way sending Lee crashing into the corner turnbuckle! Ricochet rolls him up, 1……….2……..3!!! Wow!
After the match, Ricochet extends his hand to Lee but Lee just rolls out of the ring and heads to the back frustrated.
Ranallo: ”What a victory for Ricochet! That can be considered somewhat of an upset but that means tomorrow night on FIGHT, Ricochet faces Karl Anderson in the Television Championship tournament first round match!”
McGuinness: ”Keith Lee visibly frustrated at the end there but what a win for Ricochet!”
We go backstage where we see Adam Cole wandering around backstage with a bat! Cole repeatedly shouts “DREW!! C’mon Drew where are ya you coward!” Cole asks anybody that crosses his path if they know where Drew is but nobody knows or has seen him or any of The Bullet Club so far tonight. Cole looks angry and frustrated and eventually heads towards the car park. We see Cole take a seat on a wall with his baseball bat in his hand before shouting “It’s ok guys, I got all night….”
Ranallo: ”Adam Cole rightly angry, awaiting the arrival of The Bullet Club!”
McGuinness: ”I think Stu Bennett or Davey Williams may need to go out there and get that bat away from Cole, who knows what damage he may cause when they do finally show up!?”
Ranallo: ”Who knows? I wouldn’t want to be in The Bullet Club’s shoes that’s for sure….well things moving here tonight at a rapid pace, we are ready for another Television Title tournament qualifier!”
McGuinness: ”We’ve just heard that due to Bryan Danielson now facing Castagnoli tomorrow on FIGHT, Davey Williams has informed Shelton Benjamin that instead his TV Championship qualifier is now tonight and up next against Santana! Let’s get to it!”
Santana w/Ortiz vs. Shelton Benjamin (Television Championship tournament qualifier) The two men start the match with a lock up, Benjamin backs Santana into the corner and follows up with a slap to the face. This riles Santana who takes down Shelton with a double leg takedown and he hammers away with fast right hands! Santana hits a dropkick, hiptoss and a hard scoop slam in succession before a quick cover which only gets a two count! Santana remains in control until he whips Shelton into the corner and goes for a corner splash but Shelton gets his boot up right into Santana’s face and floors him with a superkick. Shelton hits a spinning heel kick knocking Santana back down. Shelton locks Santana in a waist lock and goes for a german suplex but Santana reverses and lands on his feet before dropkicking Shelton from behind sending him face first into the corner. Santana sets Shelton up top and goes for a second rope back drop but Shelton elbows Santana a few times knocking him to the mat. Shelton remains up top and connects with a nice turning crossbody but Santana rolls through, 1…….2…..no! Shelton kicks out. Both men charge and Santana forward rolls before connecting with a rolling cutter! Santana hooks the leg, 1…..2……noo! Shelton kicks out again. Santana goes fir a springboard moonsault but Shelton gets the knees up at the vital moment and catches Santana with a roundhouse kick to the jaw before a spinebuster! Shelton covers, 1…..2…..another kick out! Shelton measures Santana and goes for the Pay Dirt but Santana counters with a nice STO! Santana climbs up top and measures Shelton for the blockbuster but as Santana jumps, Shelton moves out of the way! Shelton catches Santana coming at him and hits the Pay Dirt, cover 1……….2………3! Shelton advances!
Ranallo: ”Shelton Benjamin has advanced to the TV Championship tournament! Shelton wasn’t prepared for this but took his chance and now he advances to the first round where he’ll meet Rex Steiner in what could be an incredible match!”
McGuinness: ”Indeed Nigel, the first round brackets nearly complete and we’ve just been informed that on next week’s Warfare, we’ll see a 15 man battle royal and the final two men in that match will complete the first round bracket for the TV Championship tournament!”
Ranallo: ”That’s a big announcement but I gotta cut you off, I’ve heard The Bullet Club have arrived let’s take you to the parking lot where Adam Cole is laying in wait with a baseball bat!”
We go to the parking lot where we see Adam Cole smashing up the Bullet Club’s car! The Young Bucks clamber out through the opposite side door as Galloway is dragged out the car by Adam Cole and the two start brawling! Cole uses his baseball bat and takes out Galloway’s leg as The Young Bucks drag Cole off of him but they don’t do anything to him physically. With Galloway down and Cole apprehended by The Young Bucks, we see Jacob Fatu deliver a huge superkick to Cole’s jaw knocking him down! Galloway is helped to his feet and Galloway picks up Cole’s baseball bat and jabs him a few times! Galloway crouches down next to Cole, still slightly favouring his leg.
“You wonder why I kicked you out of MY Bullet Club. Look at you…..you’re pathetic…”
Cole winces in pain as Galloway delivers a final stomp to him. The Young Bucks look at each other and look back at a fallen Cole before reluctantly following Galloway and Jacob Fatu into the building.
Ranallo: ”Adam Cole left laying again at the hands at The Bullet Club for the second week running!”
McGuinness: ”I’ve just been informed that on next week’s show, Adam Cole will go one on one with Jacob Fatu in Fatu’s debut match!”
We see a promo for the first episode of FIGHT! tomorrow night!
When we come back we see Dr Britt Baker attending to her boyfriend Adam Cole helping him backstage with Cole favouring his ribs after the shot with the baseball bat by Galloway. Britt also has taped ribs after the attack from Jacob Fatu last week. Davey Williams approaches them,
“Adam, I think it’d be best if you go home and rest up before your match next week. I am going to give you your chance at retribution against The Bullet Club however because at Fall Of Man, it’ll be you taking on Drew Galloway in a street fight!”
Adam looks pleased with this announcement as Davey continues…
“Britt, you have your own business to attend to and your match is up next…..so if I were you I’d get ready…”
Britt rolls her eyes and says goodbye to Adam as she prepares to get ready for her Women’s Championship defence……..next!
Dr Britt Baker DMD (c) vs. Mickie James (PWU Women’s Championship) Baker comes out, still showing signs of injury from the attack by Jacob Fatu last week.
The match begins with Mickie going right to work on the injured ribs of Baker delivering hard kicks while holding Baker’s arm. Mickie whips Baker into the corner with authority and Baker just crumples to the mat. James chokes Britt on the bottom turnbuckle with her foot as the ref counts to 5! Mickie in control early on as the fans boo. Mickie lifts Britt to her feet and goes for a snap suplex but Britt blocks it and lands a few hard forearm shots to James’ jaw before hitting a nice clothesline! Baker follows up with a hiptoss and then goes for a big boot but James ducks it and hits a rear naked choke drop! Mickie covers, 1…….2……Baker gets her shoulder up! Mickie stomps away on the ribs and tries to take off the bandages but Britt pushes her away. Mickie whips Britt into the ropes and goes for a spinebuster but Britt counters with a beautiful DDT and both women are down! Mickie and Britt get to their feet at roughly the same time and Mickie charges but Britt connects with a slingblade! Britt favours her ribs slightly but still charges at Mickie to hit another slingblade. Britt waits for Mickie to get to her knees before bouncing off the ropes and she connects with a curb stomp! Baker covers, 1……..2…….noo! Mickie kicks out! Britt drags Mickie to her feet and attempts a Fisherman’s neckbreaker but Mickie blocks the attempt and hits a nice look Fisherman suplex into a pin in shades of Curt Hennig, 1……….2……Baker kicks out! Back and forth match here. Mickie measures Baker and delivers another running kick to her already injured ribs! Mickie digs her knee into the swole of Baker’s back and pulls her arm and legs really stretching her abdominal muscles! Baker is in a lot of pain here but somehow Baker eventually stretches her foot on to the bottom rope to break the hold. Mickie drags Britt by her hair and rams her head into the corner before setting up for a running bulldog! Mickie runs with Britt, but Britt uses her power and throws Mickie across the ring! Britt hits another couple of slingblades before levelling Mickie with a superkick! Britt picks Mickie up by her hair and this time drills Mickie with the Fisherman’s neckbreaker! Britt gets Mickie in position and synches in the Lockjaw!!! Mickie submits and somehow, Britt Baker retains her Women’s Championship!
McGuinness: ”An unbelievable effort by Britt Baker! Still the PWU Women’s Champion!”
Ranallo: ”Britt had a mountain to climb to retain her title tonight and she did it!”
As Britt stands in the ring with her title, we see The Bullet Club appear on the stage! Drew has a microphone:
”Britt……..don’t think we’ve forgotten about you! It’s not your fault you’re with that loser Cole and as a result, you also had to be removed from The Bullet Club. However…..we still need that female presence in our group so……meet your replacement…”
With that, we see Rhea Ripley climbs into the ring behind Britt! Britt turns around and Ripley levels her with a bicycle kick! Ripley gets Britt into position and drops her with the Riptide! Ripley takes Britt’s Women’s Championship and throws it on top of her. Ripley strolls up the ramp and Drew Galloway offers her a Bullet Club jersey which she accepts and Ripley and Galloway do the ‘too sweet’! The Good Brothers and Jacob Fatu join in as The Young Bucks appear reluctant but eventually all The Bullet Club ‘too sweet’ on the stage!
Ranallo: ”The Bullet Club are growing stronger and stronger! Rhea Ripley has joined The Bullet Club! Who can stop this group!?”
McGuinness: ”They may be strong on paper but did you see The Young Bucks? The Bullet Club may not be as solid as they seem…..”
We go to the back where we see CM Punk doing last minute stretches for his match with Samoa Joe tonight. Punk is interrupted by Adnan Virk.
“Sorry to interrupt, can I get your thoughts on your upcoming match with Samoa Joe?”
Punk glares at Virk and grins before responding:
“My thoughts? Well clearly Adnan you would have noticed that ever since I stepped foot in this company, I have been treated with nothing but disrespect. I think tonight’s may possibly be my favourite so far…….so instead of handing me my title shot like they did with Samoa Joe, I have to EARN it by facing Joe tonight! Need I remind you that it was me that made Samoa Joe. Not only did I bring him to PWU to take out The Anarchy but I made him in Ring of Honour too. Our matches made him a star and a lot of money! Tonight begins another chapter in the Samoa Joe/CM Punk story, only this one ends with me finally getting my title shot that I deserve and will ultimately end in me finally becoming the PWU World Champion!”
Adnan Virk then asks Punk, “What about Kenny Omega? We saw him challenge you last week to a match at Fall of Man and you rejected it…”
Punk interrupts:
“Kenny who?………now get the hell out!”
Ranallo: ”CM Punk in no mood for questions tonight, completely dismissive of Kenny Omega and his challenge last week!”
McGuinness: ”Punk has a chance tonight to be added to the Fall Of Man championship match, of course he doesn’t want to talk about Kenny Omega tonight!”
Ranallo: ”That big match is up next but what a week we have in PWU! Tomorrow night we have the inaugural episode of FIGHT on the Paramount Network, Bryan Danielson taking on Castagnoli in the main event plus Sammy Guevara and Kevin Steen and Ricochet taking on Karl Anderson in first round matches in the Television Championship tournament!”
McGuinness: ”Big night on Fight tomorrow! Then we have Warfare next week where we’ll see a 15 man battle royal to determine the final first round match in the TV Championship tournament as well as Adam Cole facing Jacob Fatu one on one plus a lot more still to be announced!….”
Before the main event match, the PWU World Champion Aleister appears and joins Mauro Ranallo and Nigel McGuinness for colour commentary! Aleister is accompanied by Killer Kross and Brother Levi but no Adam Scherr. Mauro asks Aleister about Scherr but Aleister says that Scherr is in exile until he can sort his head out after weeks of exhibiting strange behaviour.
Samoa Joe vs. CM Punk (If Punk wins he is added to the Joe/Aleister title match at Fall Of Man) The match starts with Joe and Punk trading forearms to the face as the bell sounds! Joe gets the best of the early exchange and whips Punk off the ropes, catching him coming back with a snap powerslam! Punk favours his lower back and rolls to the outside. Joe gives him very little time to recover as he charges through the middle rope connecting with a suicide dive to the outside pushing Punk into the barricade! Joe with the offence early on! Joe picks Punk up and leans him against the ringpost before charging at him with a kick but Punk moves out the way and Joe kicks the ringpost! Punk sees Joe hobbling around and Punk charges at Joe from behind and delivers a knee to the back which sends Joe flying into the steel stairs! Punk rolls in the ring to break the count but soon heads to the ring apron again and waits for Joe to get to his feet before jumping off the apron and hitting a nice flying clothesline knocking Joe back down! Punk rolls Joe into the ring and covers, 1……..2…….no! Joe gets the shoulder up. Punk delivers stiff kicks to the back of Joe before going for a chinlock to keep the Samoan grounded. Joe feeds off energy from the crowd and eventually gets to his feet driving his elbows into Punk’s mid-drift before hitting a side suplex! Joe hits a running senton and covers but again only a two. Joe lifts Punk to his feet and goes for a German suplex but Punk blocks it and turns facing Joe before hitting a jumping knee to the face followed by a roundhouse kick to the back of Joe’s head! Joe goes to his knees and Punk hits a shining wizard and covers, 1………2…….noo! Joe gets the shoulder up! Punk stomps on Joe a few times before heading to the ring apron. Punk waits for Joe to get to his feet and attempts his springboard clothesline but Joe counters in mid air and hits a huge uranage slam planting Punk on his back! Joe takes a few moments to shake the cobwebs before getting Punk to his feet. Joe whips Punk into the corner and hits a huge running boot to the face knocking Punk senseless! Joe then hits an overhead belly to back suplex and covers, 1………2…….no Punk kicks out! Joe drags Punk to the corner and hits several hard quick strikes to Punk before setting him on the top turnbuckle. Joe goes to set up for the Musclebuster but Punk hits several right hands out of desperation which knocks Joe back and Punk hits a double axe handle which sends Joe to the mat. Punk heads up top in the opposite corner and signals for the flying elbow which connects! Beautifully executed! Punk hooks the leg, 1…………..2…………..no!!! Joe kicks out! Punk admonishes the ref for not counting quicker before Punk tries to lock in the Anaconda Vice but Joe wrestles his way out of it and catches Punk coming back with another snap powerslam. Joe measures Punk for the Coquina Clutch but Punk sees it coming and catches Joe in position for the GTS and connects!! Punk covers, 1…………..2…………..NOO!! Joe kicks out again!! The fans can’t believe it! Punk goes to get Joe to his feet but Kenny Omega’s music hits the arena! Punk is distracted as the graphic across the video wall in Kenny’s entrance video displays “Best In the World”. Punk laughs it off and goes for another GTS but Joe climbs down from Punk’s shoulders and locks in the Coquina Clutch!!! After several moments, Punk has nowhere to go as Joe has his legs wrapped around Punk and Punk taps out!!!
Joe releases Punk from the hold and has hand raised but as he does, we see Aleister in the ring behind Joe! Kross and Levi jump up on the apron in front of Joe which distracts him and as he turns around Aleister spits black mist into Joe’s face and hits him with the Midnight Mass kick! Joe is out cold as Aleister sits next to him in the ring cross legged.
Ranallo: ”The champion has left the number one contender laying!! What will be the fallout of this!? We’ll see you all tomorrow night on FIGHT!!”
Warfare fades to black.

Great opener. I love when we see the General Manager and The President of the company. It makes the stakes higher right away. Excellent matchup between Steiner/Fenix. Always nice to see it end in a handshake. Didn't know Rex was undefeated, that will be fun to follow. Lee losing upon his return is a great move, since the obvious choice would have been him winning there and it makes Ricochet look good, especially the handshake offer. We have to ask what is next for the Bearcat. Nice classic finish with the finisher reversal, but ending up getting hit with the finisher anyway. I think splitting members off from a group is the best way to get them to stand out as individuals.

3rd September 2021The show opens with a brand new opening video package that shows PWU wrestlers meeting on the street eventually forming a crowd to go and battle another group of PWU wrestlers. In almost like a West Side Story style climax (without the singing) a brawl ensues between the two groups before the FIGHT! logo flashes up.
The camera pans across the Mackey Arena in West Layafette, Indiana as the crowd go nuts in anticipation for this new PWU show!Ranallo: ”The pro wrestling game has just changed as PWU presents the first ever episode of FIGHT! Welcome to the Paramount Network and folks get ready for the hottest hour of wrestling anywhere in the world!”McGuinness: ”That’s right, PWU have branched out with this weekly one hour show and what a show we have in store. Danielson taking on Castagnoli in the main event! I can’t wait for that!”Ranallo: ”That will be a great match but we’re kicking things off with a Television Championship tournament first round match!”’The Spanish God’ Sammy Guevara vs. Kevin Steen (Television Title Tournament - First Round Match)This one gets under way quickly as Guevara attacks Steen right at the bell! Guevara hits numerous hard forearms to Steen’s face but Steen fights back with forearms of his own! Guevara whips Steen into the ropes and lowers his head but Steen boots Guevara in the chest before sending him to the mat with a clothesline and then catches him with a hiptoss! Guevara backs away from Steen but Steen boots him in the gut before delivering clubbing blows to Guevara’s back. Steen goes behind and locks in a half nelson before dumping Guevara on the back of his head with a suplex! Guevara is on dream street as Steen covers, 1……2…..but Guevara gets the shoulder up. Steen goes for a running senton but Guevara rolls out the way and once on his feet catches Steen with a dropkick. Guevara hits him with a second dropkick which sends Steen into the corner. Guevara then follows up with a rope assisted enziguri which dazes Steen! Steen stumbles out of the corner and Guevara attempts a springboard cutter but Steen dropkicks Guevara in mid air right to the back of the head! Both men get to their feet and trade forearms, Steen blocks one and sweeps Guevara’s legs before hitting a standing senton. Steen in control, whips Sammy hard into the corner followed by a corner clothesline knocking Sammy down in the corner. Steen sees his opportunity and delivers a cannonball! Steen drags Guevara up and hits a cradle piledriver, the cover 1…………2………no! Guevara kicks out! Steen can’t believe it! Steen stomps Guevara before heading towards the corner. Steen attempts a moonsault but Guevara gets his knees up in time! Guevara catches Steen with a huge superkick before hitting an impressive Samoan drop on his larger opponent! Guevara drags Steen near the corner and heads up top. Guevara jumps and lands a beautiful shooting star press, the cover, 1………2………noooo! Steen somehow kicks out! Guevara can’t believe it! Guevara lifts Steen to his feet and tries to get him on the shoulders for the reverse GTS but Steen hits Sammy with a few punches whilst on his shoulders and climbs down before turning Sammy around and hits the Stunner!! Steen covers again, 1………2……another kick out! Steen picks Sammy up and whips him into the ropes, Pop Up Powerbomb attempt but Sammy leapfrogs Steen and catches him with a Pele kick! Steen is rocked and Guevara gets Steen on his shoulders again, Burning Hammer GTS connects! Guevara hooks the leg, 1……….2……..3!! Guevara advances! McGuinness: ”What a way to kick off FIGHT! A great advert for PWU on the Paramount Network!”Ranallo: ”Indeed Nigel and congratulations to Sammy Guevara, advancing to the final four of the Television Championship tournament!”
Up next we see a promo for next week’s Warfare which shows us what happened last night between Adam Cole and The Bullet Club hyping up the Cole/Fatu match on next week’s Warfare.Ranallo: ”Warfare will be huge next week, as will FIGHT! On next week’s episode of FIGHT, the Xcite Championship will be on the line as Pac has his first title defence against Adeel Alam!”McGuinness: ”That should be good, plus Rex Steiner taking on Shelton Benjamin in the TV Championship first round match as well as The Young Bucks in tag team action!”Ricochet vs. Karl Anderson w/ Doc Gallows (Television Title Tournament - First Round Match)This one starts with a lock up in which Anderson backs Ricochet into the corner and delivers several hard chops to his chest! Anderson boots Ricochet repeatedly in the stomach and hits a nice snap suplex, covers 1….2….easy kickout. Anderson is encouraged by Gallows at ringside to continue the assault which he does. Anderson picks Ricochet up and delivers a hard scoop slam followed by an elbow drop. Anderson goes for another quick cover but only a two. The fans rally behind Ricochet and the tide of the match turns when Anderson whips Ricochet into the corner and charges at him but Ricochet gets Anderson in a headscissors and performs a headscissor takedown! Ricochet catches him coming back with a dropsault and hits a standing shooting star press! Ricochet picks Anderson up and whips him into the corner before executing a beautiful handspring roundhouse kick! Anderson dazed, Ricochet goes for a codebreaker but Anderson slams Ricochet to the mat and flips him with a Texas cloverleaf! Ricochet is in trouble here as Anderson cranks up the pressure. Ricochet eventually makes it to the ropes but as Anderson backs off, Gallows hits a stiff uppercut to Ricochet with the ref’s back turned! Anderson goes back to work on Ricochet and lifts him off the mat and attempts to hit a brainbuster but Ricochet knees him in the head and climbs behind him before hitting a poisonrana! Ricochet hooks the leg, 1……..2……no! Kick out! Ricochet goes up top for the 720 splash but Gallows distracts the referee on the apron. Ricochet instead of jumping on Anderson, dropkicks Gallows down off the apron! While all this is happening, Anderson gets to his feet and waits for Ricochet to turn around before hitting a Gun Stun cutter! Anderson hooks both legs, 1……..2……3!! Ranallo: ”Karl Anderson has advanced but give the assist to Doc Gallows!”McGuinness: ”The Bullet Club will be delighted! It’ll be interesting though if Doc Gallows is one of the final two in the battle royal on Warfare next week, he may meet his long time tag team partner somewhere in this tournament if that happens!”
We go backstage where Kayla is standing by with Claudio Castagnoli alongside the International Champion Andrade along with the ‘Nature Boy’ Ric Flair!
Kayla asks “Claudio, you’ve had an incredible run in PWU so far so why have you aligned yourself with the man that took your International Title, Andrade and his adviser ‘The Nature Boy’ Ric Flair!?”
Claudio Responds:
“It’s not as difficult as some make out. The fact is, I was riding high in PWU, I was the International Champion for 4 months defending against all-comers and proving myself week in week out. I did that for them…..I did that for the fans. I was so intent on gaining their approval that I put my body and title on the line each week to show how great I am and to entertain them! Then what happened at Blood In The Sand….It all changed, for once I was going to be selfish and regain my title by letting the time run out. These idiots decided that it wasn’t good enough, they wanted me to win the match outright! Stupidly I listened to them and it cost me my title against the man standing beside me. That match with Andrade made me realise that these fans will screw you over at a moment’s notice! They wanna cheer for the likes of Bryan Danielson….the underdog……..the losers…..so I decided to align myself with winners! Men like the current International Champion, men like the 16 time World Champion The Nature Boy! I know me and Andrade had our differences but I know that together we are a force to be reckoned with and tonight Danielson…..you’re gonna find that out first hand.”
Flair then starts to speak…
“Woooooo Kayla……look at these two specimens beside me! These are the best of the best which why I handpicked them and formed this alliance! ‘El Idolo’ woo! The human cyborg woo! These are the men that represent what is great about this sport……not men like Daniel Bryanson….Bryan Danielson whatever he’s calling himself this week. Tonight, the American Dragon is getting slayed by the cyborg woooo!”
All three men leave the interview area as we prepare for our main event!Claudio Castagnoli w/ Ric Flair and Andrade vs. Bryan DanielsonThis match begins before Castagnoli even enters the ring as Danielson hits a suicide dive through the middle rope knocking down Castagnoli, Andrade and Flair during their entrance! Danielson hits Castagnoli with a barrage of hard right hands in the aisle way! Danielson then focuses on Andrade and hits him with a hard kick to the chest before whipping him into the barricade at ringside! Castagnoli gets to his feet and throws Danielson into the barricade before throwing him into the ring for this one to begin! Castagnoli boots Danielson in the gut repeatedly before hitting him with several hard European uppercuts into the corner. Claudio rams his shoulder in Bryan’s mid-drift before throwing him across the ring, Danielson landing hard on his back. Castagnoli approaches Danielson but Danielson headbutt’s Castagnoli in the mid section creating some distance. He then delivers a Japanese arm drag and catches Claudio coming back with a jumping calf kick! Danielson locks him in an abdominal stretch on the mat however Castagnoli reverses and rolls before dragging Danielson over him to the mat. Castagnoli hits a hard uppercut on Danielson before whipping him off the ropes and lowers his head for a back body drop but Danielson kicks him, spins him around and goes for a backslide, 1…….2…..no! Castagnoli kicks out! Castagnoli goes for a clothesline but it’s ducked and Danielson goes behind before hitting a snap dragon suplex! Castagnoli gets to his knees and Danielson hits him with a series of hard kicks to the chest as the fans chants ‘Yes!’ in unison! Danielson goes for the head kick but it’s ducked and Castagnoli hoists Danielson up in the air on his shoulders and drops him with an electric chair drop! Both men down for a moment but they get to their feet at around the same time and begin exchanging punches. Castagnoli whips Danielson off the ropes and attempts a Pop Up Uppercut but Danielson counters and hits a DDT on his way down! Danielson drapes the arm over Castagnoli, 1……..2…….no! Kick out! Danielson goes to the corner and measures Castagnoli for the running knee, Danielson charges at him but Castagnoli moves out the way and Danielson ends up folded up in the corner! Castagnoli places Danielson into the tree of woe position. Castagnoli grabs Danielson by the neck and executes a rope-hung neckbreaker! Castagnoli drags him into the middle of the ring, 1……..2……..no! Danielson barely kicks out! Castagnoli approaches Danielson’s legs and looks like he’s going for the swing but Claudio changes his mind and boots Danielson repeatedly in the ribs before locking in a sharpshooter! Danielson is in a lot of pain but somehow manipulates his body back through Castagnoli’s legs and kicks him away! Danielson then hits a drop toe hold and goes for the Labelle Lock but Claudio reverses it into a pin 1…….2…….no! Both men charge, Danielson ducks a big boot, comes off the ropes and hits the running knee!! Castagnoli is down! Danielson covers, 1…………2……….no! A last second kick out! Danielson looks frustrated and holds Claudio’s arms up in the air as he drives his foot repeatedly into Castagnoli’s chest aggressively. Danielson then locks in the Labelle Lock! Castagnoli has nowhere to go! All of a sudden as Castagnoli looks like he’s about to tap, we see Andrade level Danielson with the International Title belt!! The ref calls for the bell and we have a disqualification! Andrade stomps away on Danielson and it looks as though they’re going to take out Danielson again just like Warfare last week! Andrade goes for the La Sombra DDT but out of nowhere we see Kevin Steen make his way down the ramp!!! Steen charges in and clotheslines Andrade, before taking out Castagnoli with a Stunner! Steen helps Danielson to his feet as Flair contemplates getting involved but decides not to as Steen and Danielson stand tall to end the show!

Time for another Warfare! Let’s get to it: - I really liked that you included the description of Britt favoring her ribs in the cold open. It’s details like that that make you a better Fantasy Booker, at least in my eyes. It’s an important detail. - CM Punk vs. Samoa Joe with sky-high implications? Sign me up because that should be a fantastic main event - Stunned you pulled the trigger on Steiner here. I’m all for it but I figured Fenix would’ve picked up the victory after a strong showing from Steiner. Really interested to see how far you push him. - Danielson vs. Castagnoli is going to be great as will Guevara/Steen. - Surprised to see Ricochet upset Keith Lee. I’m intrigued to see where you are going with Lee’s character from here. - Not sure I like the idea of Danielson being substituted for Santana because he’s facing Castagnoli the following evening. It also telegraphed to me that Benjamin was going to win. Booked yourself out of a little corner? - 2nd week in a row where Cole is beaten down by the Bullet Club, which leads us to Cole vs. Fatu. I’m really looking forward to this one. - A little surprised that Britt retained her title here. Rhea Ripley as her replacement in Bullet Club definitely slaps. Good stuff. - I thought the main event was quite good on a number of fronts. Part of me was pulling for Punk but I think Joe winning was the right call. Definitely more great stuff from you dcw1 ! I like your new formatting as well! Onto Fight!

Booked yourself out of a little corner? Thanks man, I have to be honest, I messed up the TV title tournament a bit lol I thought I had more time to get the qualifying round matches done before the first FIGHT but I realised I had less time than I thought so I had to try and re-book it somehow so the qualifiers were done (which they still aint) and the first round could commence on FIGHT as promised. So yes, I have booked myself out of a corner slightly haha

It’s time for the newest PWU show and I, for one, am very excited to see what FIGHT! has in store! Let’s get to it: - I really enjoyed the opener, particularly the creative finish, and I’m pumped that Sammy advances over Steen. Great stuff. - I thought Anderson/Ricohet was okay but I’m not the biggest fan of either guy (I used to love Ricochet but he’s a bit of a geek now). - I thought the main event was pretty solid: good interview segment with Claudio/Flair and the match itself vs. Danielson was good despite the DQ ending. Sometimes, it’s just necessary (I’m re-booking WCW in 1996, believe me I know that you have to use the DQ finishes as a crutch lol). Solid debut episode of FIGHT! dcw1! Looking forward to the next Warfare

Good opener. Had an old school RAW feel to it. Actually very surprised you chose Sammy over Kevin. In a good way. I liked Anderson/Ricochet. Especially giving Anderson singles wins. It looks like both he and Gallows might dominate more than just the tag team division here. Rarely does a DQ mean nothing, so I look forward to seeing what you do with that in the future.

9th September 2021Warfare opens up with Andrade, Castagnoli and ‘The Nature Boy’ Ric Flair with a promo video. Flair’s appearance is met with lots of ‘woooo’s’ around the live crowd. Andrade takes off his sunglasses as he sits there with the International Championship placed on his waist.
“So….Kevin Steen…..you decide to stick your nose in my business on FIGHT last week. You have made mistake by getting involved with us, so me and Castagnoli challenge you and Danielson to tag team match next week on Warfare….”
The show opening package begins and pyro explodes throughout the Greensboro Colosseum in North Carolina! Mauro Ranallo and Nigel McGuinness welcome us to the show.Ranallo: ”The Road to Fall of Man heats up tonight and how about that announcement to kick off the show!? The International Champion Andrade and Claudio Castagnoli have challenged Bryan Danielson and Kevin Steen on next week’s show!”McGuinness: ”If the challenge is accepted that’ll be a huge match but you have to feel that Andrade and Castagnoli have something up their sleeve…”Ranallo: ”Well as the ring fills up in front us……we’re gonna kick things off tonight with the 15 man battle royal with the final two men competing in a first round match in the Television Championship tournament later tonight!”15 Man Battle Royal - Last two remaining meet in a first round TV Title tournament match (The Young Bucks, Doc Gallows, Tommaso, Kip Sabian, Matt Riddle, Senshi, Chris Sabin, Christopher Daniels, Alex Shelley, Gunn Club, Frankie Kazarian, Sha Samuels, ? ? ?)All the wrestlers are ready to go in the ring as we have one entrant left. Suddenly the crowd become unglued as we hear Matt Hardy’s theme hit! AEW have loaned Matt Hardy to compete in this battle royal here in his home-state! The other wrestlers in this match are in complete shock as Hardy saunters down to the ring! The battle royal gets under way with fists flying everywhere. The first elimination occurs quite quickly after Senshi back drops Kip Sabian on to the ring apron before delivering a stiff kick to Sabian knocking him off the apron and out! The action continues as we see the tag teams in this match work together as The Young Bucks trade shots with their opponents on tomorrow night’s FIGHT, the Gunn Club! We see the next elimination as both members of the Gunn Club are superkicked in tandem over the top rope by The Young Bucks! Action everywhere as Tommaso and Daniels trade punches in the corner, Matt Hardy and Riddle in the other corner and we see The Motor City Machine Gunns square up to The Young Bucks in the middle of the ring! The two teams look as though they are going to fight but Doc Gallows delivers a huge boot to Sabin which sends him flying over the top rope and out! The Bucks and Gallows triple team Alex Shelley with the Bucks holding Shelley as Gallows delivers a big boot to Shelley! The Young Bucks lift Shelley to his feet and toss him out of the ring for elimination. We’re down to 10 and as the action continues, we see Keith Lee charge down to the ring accompanied by…..Lio Rush!? Rush shouts instructions to Lee telling him to decimate and Lee slides into the ring and leaves numerous competitors laying! Lee gorilla press’s Senshi over the top rope and out. Matt Hardy charges at Lee but Lee hits the Supernova! Tommaso clubs Lee in the back from behind but Lee grabs Tommaso’s head and throws him over the top rope and out as the officials scramble around the ring to get Lee out of the ring! Lee delivers a hard chokeslam to Kazarian! Sha Samuels squares up to Lee, both big men face to face. Samuels goes for a clothesline but it’s ducked and Keith Lee hits a huge clothesline of his own! Lee hits a Supernova and throws Samuels out of the ring! Finally security and officials come out and Lee finally leaves the ring after the destruction he has caused! The Young Bucks and Gallows climb back into the ring after they climbed out when they see Keith Lee on his way to the ring! The Young Bucks deliver a double super kick to Kazarian who is just getting to his feet! Doc Gallows throws Kazarian out of the ring with ease and we are down to 5! The Bullet Club, Matt Hardy and Matt Riddle! The Bullet Club circle Hardy and Riddle and they go to attack but Riddle takes down Matt Jackson and delivers hard right hands as Matt Hardy fights off Gallows and Nick Jackson! Hardy goes for a twist of fate on Nick but Nick pushes him right into Gallows who hits him with a powerslam! Nick goes to help his brother who is being kicked in the corner by Riddle! All three men gang up on Riddle as Hardy tries to get to his feet. Gallows hits a running corner splash to Hardy! The Bucks knock Riddle down with a double super kick and turn their attention to Hardy. The Bucks mock Matt Hardy and they set up for a Poetry In Motion. Nick on all fours as Matt leaps off Nick’s back but Hardy counters in mid air and catches Jackson and eliminates him over the top rope! Gallows and Nick Jackson are in shock as Riddle meets them with a single leg dropkick taking both down at once! Riddle hits a striking combo on Nick Jackson before hitting a monkey flip. Matt hits Gallows with right hands in the corner before Riddle runs and hits a running knee to Gallows! Riddle and Hardy double team Gallows and Hardy uses Riddle to nail Gallows with a Poetry In Motion! Gallows is stunned and Riddle clotheslines Gallows out and we’re down to three! Riddle and Hardy turn to Nick Jackson, Jackson tries a superkick to Riddle which is caught, Riddle spins Nick around and Hardy kicks Nick in the gut, Twist of Fate!! Riddle lifts Nick Jackson up and hits him with the Bro-Hammer! Matt lifts Nick Jackson up and props him against the ropes before clotheslining him out of the ring and it’s over!! Matt Riddle and Matt Hardy will face off later in the Television Title Tournament! Riddle offers his hand to Matt Hardy for a handshake and it is accepted before Riddle leaves the ring. Ranallo: ”Matt Hardy and Matt Riddle one on one in the first round of the Television Championship tournament later tonight!”McGuinness: ”Could Matt Hardy, who isn’t a contracted PWU wrestler, win the whole thing!?”
We go backstage where we see the PWU World Champion Aleister arriving with the rest of The Anarchy, apart from Adam Scherr. Adnan Virk nervously catches up with the champion…
“Excuse me sir……I was wondering if I could have a few moments of your time?”
Aleister glares at Virk before nodding his head…
“Now there have been quite a few people wondering where Adam Scherr has been recently and is he still a part of The Anarchy?”
Aleister grins before responding…
“Adnan……it’s quite simple. Adam Scherr is in exile. His mental state hasn’t been right recently and as much as I’d like to use that to my advantage, unfortunately he is channeling his issues in a way that The Anarchy considers to be unproductive. He has embarrassed himself recently allowing his issues to affect us….Adam will be released when I see fit…..”
Aleister, Levi and Killer Kross continue walking past Adnan Virk.Ranallo: ”Aleister said Adam will be released……what does he mean by that? Is Adam Scherr being held captive somewhere?”McGuinness: ”I don’t know Mauro and to be honest I don’t want to know! What I do know however is that later tonight, Kross and Levi will be in tag team action against the number one contender Samoa Joe and a partner of his choosing!”Ranallo: ”I can’t wait to find out who Joe is gonna pick as his partner later tonight!”
As we get ready for our next match, we see highlights from last week’s show when Ripley left Dr Britt Baker laying after she successfully defended her Women’s Title against Mickie James. It is announced that Rhea Ripley will challenge Dr Britt Baker at Fall Of Man.Rhea Ripley w/The Good Brothers vs. Lexi KaufmanRipley immediately goes to work on Lexi, driving her knees into Lexi’s mid section before whipping her off the ropes and catching her coming back with a hard lariat! Ripley lifts Lexi to her feet and rams her head into the top turnbuckle and goes to ram her shoulders into Lexi but Lexi lifts herself up and connects with a sunset flip, 1…….2……no! Lexi almost got Rhea by surprise there! Ripley goes for a big boot coming back at Lexi but Lexi ducks it and hits some stiff forearms to Rhea’s face before connecting with a dropkick! Lexi tries to ground Rhea with an abdominal stretch but Ripley gets to her feet and delivers a huge hiptoss. Rhea hits a succession of lariats before lifting Lexi to her feet by her hair and hitting a gutwrench suplex. Ripley covers but only a two! Ripley tries to end it with the Rip Cord submission but Lexi rolls through and sends Rhea face first into the corner! Lexi charges with a high knee to the back into the corner and follows up with a nice bulldog, 1…….2……no! Rhea kicks out! Lexi hits a double stomp onto Rhea followed by a standing moonsault driving her knees into Ripley’s abdomen, another cover 1……2….no! Lexi waits for Rhea to get to her feet and goes for a superkick but Rhea catches her leg and transitions with a T Bone suplex! Ripley showing her power with that move! Rhea waits for Lexi to get to her feet before charging at her and hitting a knee to the jaw followed by a standing suplex, Lexi landing hard. Ripley lifts Lexi by the hair and sets up for the Rip Tide and drives her into the mat hard! Ripley covers, 1………2…….3! The Good Brothers enter the ring and raise Rhea Ripley’s hand. Ranallo: ”Impressive win for Rhea Ripley and The Bullet Club stand tall as Rhea Ripley gears up for her title showdown with Dr Britt Baker at Fall of Man!”
We go to the back where Adam Cole is taping up his wrists ready for tonight’s match against Jacob Fatu. Dr Britt Baker is with him massaging his back as Kayla knocks and then enters their dressing room.
“Sorry to disturb you both, Britt we just saw Rhea Ripley pick up the win over Lexi Kaufman and The Bullet Club have been on a roll in recent weeks, what changes tonight as Adam Cole faces the debuting Jacob Fatu?”
Britt looks unamused by Kayla’s question before responding….
“First of all Kayla it’s Doctor Britt Baker…..DMD! Secondly as for your question, tonight Adam only has revenge on his mind. We’ve had a rocky couple of months but we know that together we can take The Bullet Club down! I’ll deal with Rhea and Adam will deal with Fatu tonight!”
Adam Cole looks up at Kayla….
“What changes tonight? How about the way in which Jacob Fatu’s face looks. Tonight I hope Drew is watching, in fact I hope Drew is at ringside so he can witness what his fate will be at Fall Of Man!”
Cole this time tapes up his fists as we go back to ringside!Ranallo: ”Adam Cole means business tonight and that match is up next but first let’s take a look back at the debut of FIGHT!”
We see a video package of highlights from the first episode of FIGHT! including the TV title tournament matches and the main event ending.McGuinness: ”Well what a show we have this week on FIGHT! It’ll be Rex Steiner going one on one with Shelton Benjamin in the first round of the Television Title tournament!”Ranallo: ”Also, the Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks in action against The Gunn Club in a non title match! Also the Xcite Title on the line as Pac defends his title for the first time against Adeel Alam!! What a match that will be!”Adam Cole vs. Jacob FatuBefore the match, Drew Galloway accompanies Fatu to the ring before joining Mauro and Nigel near the stage on commentary! Cole does his usual ‘Adam Cole BayBay!!!’ before running to the ring but he runs right into an uppercut from Jacob Fatu as the bell sounds! Fatu takes control early on and dominates Cole in the corner with stiff chops, before throwing Cole across the ring with a choke toss! Drew enjoys what he sees on commentary as Fatu chokes Cole with his foot in the corner. Fatu goes for a corner splash but Cole moves out the way, Fatu finding nothing but turnbuckle! Cole hits a dropkick which rocks Fatu and follows up immediately with a running knee sending Fatu crashing to the outside! Cole sees his opportunity and hits a suicide dive on Fatu but is hit in mid air with a huge palm thrust! Cole lands in a heap on the outside. Fatu picks Cole up by his hair and sets him for a powerbomb! Fatu lifts Cole in the air and drives him spine first into the ring apron!!! Cole again left in a heap as the fans go nuts! Fatu rolls Cole into the ring and covers, 1……..2……no! Cole gets his shoulder up at the last moment! Fatu tries to drag Cole in the corner along the mat but Cole struggles and ends up tripping Fatu which sends him face first into the middle turnbuckle! Fatu shakes the cobwebs as Cole gets to his feet and levels Fatu with a superkick right in the jaw followed up by a jumping enziguri which knocks Fatu down! Cole covers, 1…….2……but Fatu kicks out with ease! Cole drags him up but is met with a palm thrust followed by a kick to the gut and a gutwrench sit out powerbomb with impact! Cole crawls to the ropes as Fatu lays in wait. Fatu hits a huge superkick to Cole’s jaw knocking him down and follows up with an incredible handspring moonsault!! Unreal agility by a man of his size! The crowd applaud as Fatu riles up the crowd! Fatu drags Cole to his feet and whips him off the ropes before hoisting him in the air and delivering a devastating pop up Samoan Drop! Cole is senseless here as Fatu covers 1………..2……….Fatu lifts Cole off the mat! Drew laughs on commentary as Fatu wants to injure Adam Cole. Fatu again tries to drag Cole into the corner but Cole manages to regain his senses and delivers a deliberate low blow from behind!!! The referee calls for a DQ as Fatu is doubled over and goes down to his knees. Cole removes his knee pad and levels Fatu with the Last Shot! The crowd cheer but Cole isn’t through yet as he grabs a steel chair from ringside. Cole thinks about hitting Fatu in the head with the chair but thinks better of it and wails away at Fatu’s legs with the chair! Drew is beside himself on commentary! Drew Galloway: ”Nick, Matt, Doc, Karl get out here I need help!!! We need to stop this!!!”Drew notices that nobody is coming to save Fatu as Cole hammers away on him repeatedly with the steel chair! Eventually Drew races down to the ring but Cole high tails it through the crowd as they go nuts! Drew helps Fatu to his feet and kicks the bottom rope in frustration! Ranallo: ”Britt Baker said it was all about revenge for Adam Cole tonight and she wasn’t wrong! Cole got himself deliberately DQ’d and then used that chair to his advantage!”McGuinness: ”Adam Cole got one over on The Bullet Club tonight it seems! Although there may be problems ahead for the other members of The Bullet Club as they never came out to help Fatu!”
Up next we see a promo for Warfare next week hyping up the tag team match between Bryan Danielson teaming with Kevin Owens to take on Andrade and Claudio Castagnoli!Ranallo: ”Next week, that huge tag team main event and we have just heard that in two weeks time when we are live in Las Vegas Nevada for Warfare, it’ll be a very special Warfare Roulette!!! Each match will be determined by a Roulette wheel with different match stipulations that same night!”McGuinness: ”That is going to be awesome, each match will have a different stipulation decided by the spin of a wheel! In two weeks, Warfare Roulette!”
We go backstage where Drew Galloway barges into The Bullet Club locker room where he finds The Young Bucks and The Good Brothers talking…..
“Well isn’t this cosy huh? Where the hell were you guys!? I demanded you help Jacob against Cole earlier and you no showed. No I don’t know what’s got into you four recently but this is not how we do things in MY Bullet Club!”
Nick Jackson leaps up off his chair….
“And what the hell would you know about The Bullet Club huh!? You didn’t ride with us originally in Japan! That was The Bullet Club! We fought for eachother not just throw our fellow members to the wolves, that was a brotherhood!”
Drew gets in Nick’s face….
”Who gives a toss about what happened in Japan! This is my Bullet Club, my vision! I bought you all together! You either ride with me…..or you’re against me. I suggest you all think about your choices……you’ve all seen what happens when you make the wrong decisions…..”
Drew uses trigger fingers next to Nick Jackson’s head before walking out. Nick is held back by the others….Ranallo: ”Trouble in paradise in The Bullet Club! We’ve seen hints of dissension for a couple of weeks but it almost blew over there!”Matt Hardy vs. Matt Riddle (Television Championship First Round Match)Both men receive a good ovation from the crowd following on from the 15 man battle royal earlier tonight. Hardy extends his hand for the handshake which Riddle accepts but Hardy kicks Riddle in the gut and delivers numerous right hands as the match gets under way! Hardy repeatedly boots Riddle in the mid section and whips him off the ropes catching him coming back with an elbow to the face knocking Riddle down, quick cover 1……2….no! Riddle gets the shoulder up! Matt tries to ground Riddle with a chin lock but Riddle reverses it into a back drop! Hardy ducks a clothesline attempt and goes for his own clothesline but Riddle leap frogs and levels Hardy with a slap across the face! Hardy goes after Riddle but Riddle sweeps his legs out from under him and gets him in a grounded waistlock which he turns into rolling gutwrench suplexes! Riddle goes for a cover, 1……..2……no! Hardy kicks out! Riddle goes for a running senton but Hardy moves out the way! Hardy hits Riddle with hard right hand shots before kicking him in the gut and going for a Twist of Fate but Riddle reverses it and goes behind Hardy to hit a german suplex but that’s reversed into a roll through by Hardy, 1…….2…..no! Riddle kicks out! Riddle tries to catch Hardy coming at him with a clothesline but Hardy catches it and delivers a side effect! Hardy covers, 1……….2……..no! Riddle gets the shoulder up right at the last second! Hardy stomps away on Riddle and heads to the middle turnbuckle. Hardy goes for his patented leg drop but nobody’s home as Riddle moves out the way! Riddle kips up to his feet and charges at a seated Matt Hardy to deliver a shining wizard! Riddle springs to the top turnbuckle and delivers a floating Bro! Riddle hooks the leg, 1……….2……..noo! Hardy gets the shoulder up! Riddle hits a standing senton before dragging Hardy up by his hair. Riddle goes for the Bro Derek but Hardy reverses it using his legs as momentum and out of nowhere hits a tombstone piledriver! Hardy covers, 1……..2…….no! Riddle kicks out! The crowd are loving what they’re seeing as Hardy goes for the Twist of Fate again but Riddle counters into a rip cord knee followed by a Pele Kick! Hardy is dazed and Riddle sets Hardy up for the Bro-Hammer and connects!! Riddle hooks the leg, 1………..2……….3!!! Matt Riddle advances to the final four! After the match, Hardy and Riddle shake hands as the crowd begin a ‘Hardy’ chant! Ranallo: ”Matt Hardy showing everyone he is still at the top of his game with a great performance but it wasn’t enough to defeat Matt Riddle who has a big future here in PWU!”McGuinness: ”This TV Championship tournament has thrown up some fantastic matches so far and that was no exception! A great match between a veteran and a man with a bright future in this business in Matt Riddle!”Ranallo: ”Talking of a bright future, on next week’s Warfare, The Television Championship semi finals will get under way as ‘The Spanish God’ Sammy Guevara will take on the man we’ve just seen…..Matt Riddle! The other semi final will take place on next week’s FIGHT when it’ll be either Rex Steiner or Shelton Benjamin taking on The Bullet Club’s Karl Anderson!”McGuinness: ”Also, I’ve just been informed that next week we will see the PWU World Champion Aleister in action! That is a rare occurrence on Warfare and next week, Aleister will face Johnny Gargano in a non title match! That should be good!”Ranallo: ”That announcement leads us nicely into the main event as The Anarchy minus Adam Scherr, squares off against Samoa Joe and a partner of his choosing. Adnan Virk is backstage with Samoa Joe….”
Joe can be seen with a white towel over his head cracking his knuckles as Virk nervously stands next to him…
“Joe, in just a few moments, your quest to eliminate The Anarchy once and for all continues as you and a mystery partner take on Levi and Killer Kross. So…..who’s your partner?”
Joe removes the towel from his head…
“Adnan, I never asked for a partner…..but as Davey Williams decided I HAD to have one for this match, I think I’ve chosen the best guy for the job. This man has also had his problems with Aleister and he shares my enthusiasm for kicking The Anarchy’s ass…..you’ll find out my partner in a few moments. As for you Aleister, I hope you aren’t thinking of pulling a stunt like you did last week…if you get involved this week, you won’t be able to defend your title at Fall Of Man….after I’m done with your boys tonight, it just leaves you and in eliminating you, I’ll also be crowned the PWU World Champion…..”Joe is pumped up as he makes his way out for the main event! Samoa Joe and a mystery partner vs. Killer Kross and Levi (The Anarchy) w/AleisterSamoa Joe comes out first and announces his mystery partner is………..Kenny Omega! ‘The Best In The World’ shows on the video wall as Omega makes his way out to a huge ovation! The Anarchy enter second and Joe nods at Omega and they both go to the outside and this tag team match starts in a brawl on the outside in the aisle way! Joe and Kross battle it out as Omega battles with Levi at ringside! Aleister sits cross legged at the top of the stage. Omega whips Levi into the stairs as Joe snake eyes Kross on to the steel barricade! Omega rolls Levi into the ring and hits him with several fast forearms to the face before whipping Levi off the ropes and catching him coming back with a hurricarana! The ref gains some control and Joe and Kross go to their respective corners. Omega takes control and goes for an early V Trigger but Levi counters with a big boot to Omega’s face! Levi takes control after whipping Omega to the corner and driving his shoulders numerous times into Omega’s mid-drift. Levi heads to the middle turnbuckle and connects with an axe handle which sends Omega to his knees. Levi sets Omega up for a delayed vertical suplex and connects before the cover, 1…….2……kick out by Omega! Joe desperately reaches out for the tag as Omega is beaten down by Levi with clubbing blows. Levi whips Omega off the ropes and lowers his head for a back body drop but Omega leapfrogs and goes behind before using his strength to hit a snap dragon suplex on Levi! Omega then hits a running knee before making the tag to Joe! Joe charges in, big boot to the face of Levi, Kross gets one as well knocking him off the apron! Joe sets Levi up for a belly to belly suplex and connects. Joe like a house on fire here! Joe whips Levi into the corner and goes for a running boot in the corner but Levi moves out the way and Joe is crotched on the top turnbuckle! Levi tags in Kross and Kross immediately clubs away at Joe’s back before setting him up on the top turnbuckle. Kross uses his power and delivers a devastating back suplex off the top turnbuckle! Joe lands hard! Kross goes for the cover but only a two! Kross sits across Joe’s back and delivers vicious forearms across Joe’s nose which busts his nose open! Kross grabs Joe’s waist and goes for a german suplex but Joe blocks it and hits Kross with a few back elbows before delivering an enziguri! Kross staggers and Joe sets him up and delivers a uranage slam followed by a senton splash! Joe looks to lock on the Coquina Clutch but we see Aleister rise to his feet and make his way down the aisle! Joe throws Kross to the mat and when Aleister is close enough, Joe charges through the ropes at Aleister with a suicide dive! Joe brawls on the entrance way with Aleister as Kenny Omega climbs in the ring and sets up Kross for the One Winged Angel and delivers it! 1…………2……..no! Levi breaks up the fall! Omega charges at Levi and hits the V Trigger! As Joe brawls to the back with Aleister, Kross charges at Kenny behind and forearms him on the back of the head and follows up with the Doomsday Saito! Kross covers Omega, 1……………2…………..no! Omega kicks out! Kross can’t believe it! Kross goes for the Kross Jacket and locks it in! Omega is in trouble but Omega uses all he has to kick himself off the top turnbuckle and uses his body weight to pin Kross’ shoulders to the mat, 1…………….2……………3! What a counter by Kenny Omega! Kross can’t believe what just happened! As Kross is stunned and Levi just getting to his feet after the V Trigger, Omega has his hand raised in the ring by the ref. Suddenly, we see CM Punk appear behind Kenny Omega!! Punk kicks Kenny downstairs with a blatant low blow and turns him around before hitting the GTS! Punk taunts Omega as he is out cold shouting…… “Is this the Best In The World huh!?” We see Punk leaning over Omega with a grin on his face….. Ranallo: ”Now that Punk is out of the Championship hunt……is that Kenny’s challenge accepted!?”Warfare fades to black.

Still feeling like early RAW with these openings love that. Matt Hardy was a pleasant surprise, but, unfortunately, made it kind of obvious where that was going. Not to worry, though, the battle Royal was still enjoyable, love that Riddle and Hardy teamed up before they square off, and the sign of respect was icing on the cake there. Putting Adam Scherr in exile rather than just kicking him out of the group is different, it’s a good idea that I don’t think I’ve ever seen used.

10th September 2021This week’s FIGHT! opens up with the PWU World Champion Aleister in a darkened room with Killer Kross and Levi. Aleister with the title draped over his shoulder tells them:
“Last night on Warfare, you two embarrassed The Anarchy and you embarrassed me…….You’ve seen what happens when you embarrass me……put it right……..tonight.”
The FIGHT! opening credits roll before pyro explodes throughout the PNC arena in Raleigh, North Carolina!Ranallo: ”We are less than one month away until Fall of Man as PWU presents the second episode of the hottest hour in professional wrestling, FIGHT!”McGuinness: ”Tonight, we find out whether it will be Rex Steiner or Shelton Benjamin squaring off against Karl Anderson in the semi-final of the PWU Television Championship open!”Ranallo: ”Also, the Xcite Championship on the line as Pac defends against Adeel Alam!”McGuinness: ”Also, what do The Anarchy have in store for us tonight, we’ve heard they are here and Aleister has issued a warning to his henchmen….when will their presence be felt here tonight?”Pac vs. Adeel AlamBefore the match, the Xcite Champion Pac comes out and grabs a microphone. “I know I’m yet to defend my title but I take issue with PWU management forcing me to defend my title against a no-name, unworthy loser like Alam. So as champion, I’ve decided I’m not defending my title here tonight….sorry if you’re disappointed but I don’t care about any of you or what you think…”Alam enters and he is raging as he comes out! Alam wastes no time and sprints to the ring sliding underneath the bottom rope and Pac stomps away on Alam immediately! The bell sounds and Pac kicks Alam repeatedly in the ribs before lifting him up and hitting him with stiff forearms to the face. Pac whips Alam into the corner and goes for a series of corner clothesline connects repeatedly. Pac sets Alam on the top turnbuckle and delivers a hard slap across his face! Pac toying with Alam early on here. Pac climbs up top and looks for a super plex but Alam hits a series of shots to Pac’s ribs and pushes him to the mat. Pac gets to his feet, Alam jumps over Pac and catches him coming back with a nice Japanese arm drag! Alam executes another arm drag and then follows up with a nice dropkick. Pac’s down, Alam hits a standing shooting star press into a cover, 1……2…..no! Alam delivers some stiff chops to Pac and whips him off the ropes, he goes for a hurricanrana but Pac catches him and delivers a sit-out powerbomb! Pac waits for Alam and charges off the ropes to deliver a basement dropkick right to Alam’s face as he’s in a seated position! Alam is on dream street as Pac goes for a deadlift german suplex and he drops Alam right on the back of his head/neck into a pin, 1………….2………no! Alam kicks out! Pac lifts up Alam by his hair and slaps him repeatedly completely disrespecting Alam. Pac whips Alam into the corner again and kicks him in the ribs numerous times before hitting a roundhouse kick to the face. Alam is dazed in the corner and Pac charges at Alam again and hits a corner big boot to the face with impact! Alam falls near the corner and Pac drags him in position before heading up to the top. Pac taunts the crowd before jumping for the 450 splash but Alam moves out the way just in time and Pac finds nothing but canvas! Alam tries to recover and gets to his feet but after a few moments, Pac kips up and is up before Alam! Pac chuckles and approaches Alam from behind and goes for a german suplex, Pac gets him up but Alam rolls through it both legs hooked, 1………..2………..3!!!! He got him! The crowd cheer loudly as Alam is announced the winner and he quickly gets out of dodge! Pac is furious as he kicks the ropes in frustration! Ranallo: ”What a win for Adeel Alam and what an upset!!!”McGuinness: ”It is a great win but Alam will be feeling as though he should be the Xcite Champion right now!”
We go backstage where Kayla is standing by with the Tag Team Champions, The Young Bucks! Kayla asks:
“Gentlemen, tonight you are in action against The Gunn Club but how is all this dissension in The Bullet Club affecting you both going into this one?”
Matt responds…
“Dissension? There is no dissension or infighting within The Bullet Club as I don’t count Drew Galloway as a Bullet Club member anymore. Dissension makes it sound like there’s a disagreement but I don’t think anybody can disagree with us that Drew Galloway threw our brother Adam Cole to the wolves and worse still injured Dr Britt Baker! I think Drew forgets the Bullet Club’s history when it comes to it’s leaders…..”
Nick takes over…
“Tonight, we will show the World including Drew Galloway why we are the best tag team in history and exactly why we are the tag team champions. We take on the Gunn Club tonight…..who by the way we are suing for copyright infringement! You see we are The Bullet Club…..they are the Gunn Club….it’s obvious infringement!”
Kayla interjects, ”But…….they are The Gunn Club cos’ Gunn is their last name! They are the sons of Bil……..”
Nick shouts over her “We don’t care Kayla!!! The Gunn Club are another wannabe Young Bucks and will never be as good as us……tonight we’ll prove that. After all, what good are Gunns….when they’re out of ammo…..”
The Young Bucks trigger finger before walking away from Kayla.The Young Bucks vs. The Gunn ClubThe match starts with Austin Gunn and Nick Jackson and the two lock up. Austin goes behind Nick with a waistlock and delivers a takedown before transitioning into a front face lock. Nick wrestles out of it into an armlock before mounting the back of Austin and slapping him on the back of the head numerous times. Austin gets to his feet, Austin is kicked repeatedly in the mid section by Nick and is whipped into the corner. Nick tags in Matt and applies an arm wrench as Matt goes up top and hits an axe-handle. Matt then lands a nice dropkick knocking down Austin, does a back flip and then kicks Austin in the face, he covers 1……..2…….no! Austin kicks out. Colten tries to rally his brother as The Young Bucks continue on offence making regular tags between them hitting stiff kicks to Austin in the corner. Matt goes for a corner cross body with Nick holding Austin in the corner but Austin breaks free resulting in Matt hitting the corner and catching a bit of his brother! Austin then follows up with a series of picture perfect dropkicks followed up by a tilt-a-whirl powerslam catching Matt coming back at him! Nick enters the ring and also gets caught with a dropkick! Austin tags in Colten and Colten hits a series of jabs to Matt Jackson before whipping him off the ropes and catching him with a high back body drop! Colten whips Matt into his own corner and goes for a corner splash but Nick Jackson makes a blind tag and throws his brother Matt out of harms way resulting in Colten crashing into the corner. Nick springboards off the top rope and hits a stunned Colten with a front dropkick and covers, 1……….2……….no! Nick measures Colten for a superkick but it is caught, Colten catches his foot and spins him around before hitting an atomic drop followed by a huge lariat! Matt comes in and hits a flying forearm which in turn brings in Austin who trades punches with Matt which results in them fighting out at ringside. Colten measures Nick for a Fameasser but Nick moves out the way and hits an enziguri which sends Colten outside with Matt and Austin! Nick springs to the top rope and delivers a corkscrew body press to The Gunn Club on the outside! Matt helps his brother up and rolls Colten into the ring. The Young Bucks follow him back into the ring and set up with a superkick party and connects before hitting stereo basement dropkicks to Colten’s face! The Young Bucks hit their sequence of moves for The More Bang for Your Buck and Matt jumps on Austin as he tries to intervene as Nick Jackson covers Colten, 1………2……..3!!! The Young Bucks grab their titles and go to leave but the lights in the arena go out! The lights come back up and The Young Bucks look to the stage where the PWU World Champion Aleister is sitting cross legged! The Bucks look reluctant to turn around where they are met by Kross and Levi! Kross delivers a bicycle kick to Matt Jackson as Levi clobbers Nick with a clothesline! Levi drags Matt by his hair and delivers a fall forward front slam as Kross hits the Doomsday Saito on Nick Jackson! Kross notices Colten Gunn getting to his feet and levels him with a bicycle kick! This brings in Austin Gunn who tries to fight off The Anarchy but Levi hits a hard clothesline and throws him out the ring! Ranallo: ”The Anarchy have left their mark tonight here on FIGHT! It looks as though they want the Tag Team championship!”McGuinness: ”If that’s the case…..dark days are ahead for The Young Bucks! Also, where were The Bullet Club!? They let The Young Bucks take a beating just then!”We go to a video promo with Bryan Danielson who talks about Andrade’s challenge on Warfare. Danielson has this to say: “Y’know Andrade, I can’t wait to shut that mouth of yours this coming week on Warfare. I can’t speak for Kevin but I know I’ll be ready for you and Castagnoli on Thursday. Your boy Castagnoli was *this* close to tapping out on FIGHT! last week but of course you had to interfere as you were scared that your over-inflated egos would be hurt by the greatest professional wrestler alive today. I had respect for you Castagnoli but that’s now out the window but I guess it doesn’t matter to me if you wanna ride on the coattails of the champion right? As for you Flair, you better stay quiet at ringside before I send you to the retirement home and make you tap just like Andrade will be tapping on Thursday and just like he’ll be tapping at Fall Of Man!! I’ll see you three on Thursday…….”Ranallo: ”Bryan Danielson accepting the challenge of Andrade, and the tag team match will take place on Warfare on Thursday!”McGuinness: ”Also on Warfare next week, the champion Aleister will be facing Johnny Gar……..”We are interrupted by Lio Rush on the microphone as he and Keith Lee enter the arena! “Now everybody just settle down!!! We are going to interrupt FIGHT! For a few moments so you can bask in the glory of my client…….KEITH LEEEEEE!!!!”Keith Lee and Rush stand on the stage as Lio holds his arms out to draw attention to the behemoth standing beside him before continuing on the mic. “Now ya see……..Keith Lee is going to the top here in PWU with Lio Rush by his side! He’s not going to be held back…..saddled with a ‘nice guy gentle giant’ persona…….oh no! We may need to interrupt future shows, interfere in matches and wreak havoc in this company until Keith Lee shows everybody that he is the number one talent in this place! Keith Lee is here to dominate as you saw on Warfare last night! Keith Lee pretty much won the battle royal last night by himself and he won’t stop there…..y’know why? because he is indeed……..limitless!…..”
Lio Rush and Keith Lee leave the stage area as we go into a Fall Of Man promo video.
After this, we see a video package showing us how Shelton Benjamin and Rex Steiner made it to this first round match in the PWU Television Championship tournament!Shelton Benjamin vs. Rex Steiner (PWU Television Championship Tournament - First Round Match)These two start off going face to face but Benjamin pie faces Steiner. Steiner tackles Benjamin and takes him to the corner driving his shoulders into Shelton’s mid section to start the match off! Steiner then delivers an overhead belly to back suplex out of the corner! Benjamin gets to his knees and backs away into the corner, begging Steiner for mercy but as Steiner gets close, Benjamin grabs Steiner’s leg and throws him into the corner face first on the second turnbuckle! Benjamin springs to his feet and stomps away on Steiner in the corner repeatedly. Benjamin lifts Steiner by his legs out of the corner and slams him to the mat. Benjamin goes for a Boston crab but Steiner uses his leg strength to kick Benjamin away. Steiner then catches Benjamin coming back with a huge clothesline knocking him down! Steiner hits him again with a hard clothesline and charges off the ropes before hitting a jumping shoulder tackle to knock Shelton down hard! Steiner drags Shelton up and goes for a belly to belly but Shelton blocks it and hits a belly to back suplex of his own! Shelton then catches Steiner with a roundhouse kick and covers, 1………2…….no! Steiner kicks out! Shelton clubs Steiner in the back and whips him off the ropes before executing a spinebuster! Benjamin takes control of the match. Benjamin again covers but again only a two count. Benjamin races to the side of Steiner’s body and locks in an arm bar! Benjamin really applies pressure! Steiner struggles but eventually gets out of it by using his power to get to his feet while the hold is applied and lifts Benjamin up before driving him down with a powerbomb! Steiner covers, 1………2…….no! Steiner perches himself on the middle turnbuckle and waits for Benjamin before executing a bulldog on to Benjamin! Steiner pulls his strap down signalling for the end. Steiner hoists Benjamin up in a military press position/spear combination but Benjamin counters and hits Steiner with the Pay Dirt on the way down! What a counter! Benjamin covers, 1…………….2…………..NO! Somehow Steiner kicks out! Benjamin goes to the ring apron and waits for Steiner to get to his feet before looking for a springboard clothesline but Steiner spears Benjamin out the air and causes him to crash hard to the canvas! Steiner crawls over him and hooks the leg, 1……………..2……………,NO! Benjamin gets the shoulder up! What a match! Steiner goes for a clothesline but Benjamin ducks and hits a release german suplex on Steiner! Benjamin charges at Steiner as he returns to his feet and hits a running knee, sending Steiner into the corner! Benjamin then feels the momentum and goes for the corner splash, Benjamin jumps but Steiner catches him in mid air! Steiner then transitions Shelton into a Military Press Slam position and quickly drops him with a Military Press Powerslam! Steiner hooks both legs, 1……………….2…………………3!!!!!!! Ranallo: ”Steiner did it! The rookie is only one match away from the final!”McGuinness: ”Incredible match between two top tier athletes but tonight is Rex Steiner’s night as he now faces Karl Anderson on next week’s FIGHT!”Ranallo: ”What a match that will be!…….we’ll see you next week!”FIGHT! fades to black.

Surprising that the champions can decide whether or not the title will actually be on the line. Nice stipulation there.

Interesting little preview there, I suspect Alam will still be receiving a title shot at some point, though. Particularly with that huge win.
I definitely love your work because I can tell from talking to you that you’re passionate about it. I love the juxtaposition of our two shows especially. My World Champion low blowing somebody AND being out of the title hunt. Kenny Omega, the belt collector, is a good person to feud him with. Maybe I’ll do the same? Lol.

Alrighty dcw1 let's get to it Review - Andrade and Castagnoli vs. Steen and Danielson sounds like it will be a freaking blast. I can’t wait to read that match. - I thought it was interesting that you described Matt Hardy as being “AEW loaned.” What does that make guys like Andrade, Daniels, The Bucks, etc?) Anyways, I figured Matt would be one of two winners and I’m all for Matt Riddle being the 2nd. It should be an interesting match between the two. I also dig the intrigue of a non-PWU wrestler winning - What did you do with Adam Scherr?!? Hopefully he’s not locked in some boiler room. - Solid match between Rhea and Lexi. - Really good segment w/Adam Cole and Britt Baker - I enjoyed the stories told throughout Cole/Fatu; specifically, I actually liked Adam Cole deliberately DQ’ing himself and the rest of the Bullet Club not coming to Fatu’s aid. - I’m intrigued that you’re bringing back the Roulette Wheel - Really enjoyed that segment between Drew/Nick - Glad to see Riddle go over the veteran, though I was admittedly intrigued at the idea of Matt winning. Good job there. - The announced matches for the next shows look very good - Kenny Omega is a hell of a mystery partner! Anyways, terrific match and a great ending, particularly the aftermath with Punk. That’s something I cannot wait to see (both here and in real life!) Another great Warfare! I’ll be reviewing Fight shortly!

16th September 2021Warfare opens up with the PWU World Champion Aleister and The Anarchy (minus Adam Scherr) in a dark room sitting in a triangle. Aleister begins talking to Kross and Levi…. ”Tonight, we show PWU what we are made of. On FIGHT! you took out The Young Bucks and staked your claim as the most dominant tag team in professional wrestling. Tonight you make sure that you become the number one contenders by decimating The Gunn Club. I will make an example of Johnny Gargano and prove why nobody is getting near my title….including Samoa Joe”Aleister turns to the camera…. ”Joe……if you get involved tonight…..you’re gonna pay the deadman’s toll early….because I will not wait to take your head clean off your shoulders….”Aleister grins at the camera as the opening credits roll! Pyro explodes throughout the Denver Coliseum, the home of tonight’s Warfare on route to next week’s Warfare Roulette, live from Las Vegas, Nevada! We hear Jacob Fatu’s music hit and we are ready for our first match as Mauro Ranallo welcomes us to the show! Ranallo: ”Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Warfare! We are just three weeks away from Fall Of Man and tonight, two huge main events!”McGuinness: ”That’s right Mauro, this is a big night, the World Champion Aleister takes on Johnny Gargano in a non title match, plus we have Bryan Danielson and Kevin Steen taking on the International Champion Andrade and Claudio Castagnoli!!”Ranallo: ”On his way to the ring now though, as you can hear, Jacob Fatu…..as he goes up against Christopher Daniels!!!”Jacob Fatu w/Drew Galloway vs. Christopher DanielsDaniels tries to get an early advantage by throwing right hands at Fatu but Fatu just glares at Daniels before hitting him with an uppercut! Fatu hits another uppercut before nailing Daniels with a headbutt which sends Daniels backwards into the corner. Fatu hits an overhand chop to Daniels before throwing him across the ring. Daniels rolls out of the ring and uses his experience to try and clear some cobwebs but Drew Galloway talks trash to him on the outside. Daniels approaches Galloway but Fatu comes off the ropes and hits a handspring moonsault over the rope and onto Daniels!! Unreal athleticism from the big man! Fatu lifts Daniels up and backs him into the ring apron before rolling him back into the ring. Fatu goes for a running senton but Daniels moves out the way! Fatu crashes to the mat! Daniels hits a couple of dropkicks which rock Fatu and goes for a springboard cross body but Fatu catches him in mid air and hits a spinning side slam! All the wind rushes out of Daniels as Fatu hits his running senton. Fatu tells the fans it’s over and Fatu delivers a double jump moonsault to Daniels! Fatu hooks the leg, 1………2……..3!! It’s over! Drew Galloway rolls into the ring and raises Fatu’s hand. The two men are stood arms raised but we see Fatu stagger forward as Adam Cole comes out the crowd and levels him with a chair! Cole ducks a clothesline attempt and levels Drew in the ribs and then the back before Drew rolls out of the ring! Cole batters Fatu with the chair repeatedly until he rolls out through the middle rope! The fans go nuts as Cole is fired up! ‘Cole’ chants echo throughout the arena as Drew can be heard screaming at Cole from the ramp.. ”You’re finished Adam! Wait until Fall of Man! You’re history!”Ranallo: ”What a way to kick off Warfare! Big night ahead of us, PWU President Davey Williams is here tonight and ready to make an announcement and we’ve heard he’s going to address the PWU roster later on!”McGuinness: ”I can’t wait to see what Mr Williams has in store for us later tonight! I also can’t wait for FIGHT! tomorrow night on the Paramount Network, it’s the second semi final match in the Television Championship tournament as Rex Steiner goes up against The Bullet Club’s Karl Anderson!”Ranallo: ”Also tomorrow night, the PWU Women’s Champion Dr Britt Baker goes one on one with Shotzi in a non title match!”We hear The Anarchy’s music hit and we are ready for tag team number one contenders action! The Anarchy (Kross and Levi) vs. The Gunn ClubThe bell sounds and we start off with Kross and Austin. Kross stares menacingly at Austin before charging at him and taking him down with a hard clothesline! Kross puts the boots to Austin and grabs him in a waistlock before driving him to the mat with numerous throws. Kross tags in Levi who continues the assault with hard clubs to the back before whipping Austin into the corner. Levi goes for a corner splash but Austin gets his feet up in Levi’s face and hits several forearms to Levi before slamming him to the mat. Austin tags in Colten and the Gunn Club send Levi off the ropes and catch him coming back with a double hiptoss! Colten covers but only a two count. Colten dropkicks Levi sending him into the corner and attempts the high corner splash but Levi catches him in mid air and sends him crashing to the mat with a modified powerslam! Levi tags in Kross who measures Colten before hitting a bicycle kick right to his face! Colten tries to crawl towards his corner to make the tag but Kross drags Colten back by his tights and delivers a deadlift german suplex from the mat! Austin has seen enough and rushes in with a flying forearm on to Kross but this in turn brings in Levi resulting in Austin taking himself and Levi to the outside with a flying clothesline over the top rope! Kross again measures Colten and sneaks behind him as he gets to his feet and hits the Doomsday Saito! Kross covers and hooks the leg, 1……..2…….3! Ranallo: ”The Anarchy are getting a shot at the Tag Team Champions, The Young Bucks at Fall Of Man!”McGuinness: ”A valiant effort from The Gunn Club but The Anarchy just too powerful in the end!”We go backstage where Bryan Danielson is getting ready for the tag team main event tonight when in walks Kevin Steen. “Hey Bryan, just wanted to say that I wanna beat Andrade and Castagnoli’s ass just as much as you do tonight. Can’t wait for us to get the job done!” Danielson responds…. ”Kevin, there is nobody else I’d rather have by my side tonight than you. I really appreciate you coming out there and helping me out a couple of weeks ago on FIGHT! and I knew you’d have my back against them. Tonight…..I’m making Andrade tap….and then I’m taking his title at Fall Of Man!!”Steen smirks… ”Well Bryan, that’s kinda what I wanted to talk to you about as well. You see, I may of had your back two weeks ago and I may have your back tonight…..but rest assured that after you defeat Andrade at Fall Of Man, I want my shot at that International Championship and given all the BS I’ve put up with since joining this company….I wouldn’t think twice about beating you…..”Danielson smirks…. ”Ohhh I see how it is now……you think you can save me from a beatdown, help me beat Andrade just so I will give you a shot is that it? Well it’s cute that you automatically think you could beat me……maybe though Kevin instead of foreshadowing the future, you should just concentrate on the job at hand tonight. As for your proposal though……I’ll think about it…..” Danielson walks off hyped up and Steen just grins. Ranallo: ”Not necessarily the conversation you would want with your so called tag team partner right before a big match later tonight!”McGuinness: ”Well we’ve seen before that Kevin Steen usually only cares about one person….and that’s Kevin Steen. Can Steen and Danielson co-exist later tonight in the main event? I suspect Steen has an ulterior motive for getting involved in Bryan Danielson’s business from what we’ve just heard!”
We see a video package highlighting the Television Championship tournament so far as we are about to have our first semi-final match between Matt Riddle and Sammy Guevara!Sammy Guevara vs. Matt Riddle (PWU Television Championship Tournament - Semi-Final Match)Guevara gets a nice reaction from the crowd upon entering the arena, seems the crowd are split for this one! The match begins with Guevara offering a handshake to Riddle. Riddle goes to accept but Guevara pulls his hand away and flips him off! Riddle goes for a forearm but is ducked and Guevara repeatedly kicks Riddle in the mid section before whipping him off the ropes and Guevara tries to connect with a hurrincarana but Riddle holds on the ropes leaving Sammy on the mat! Riddle goes for a roll through pinning predicament on Sammy, 1…….2…..Sammy powers out and lifts them both off the mat, Sammy gets Riddle into a backslide, 1…….2…..Riddle kicks out, Riddle rolls behind Sammy for a schoolboy pin, 1…..2…..Sammy kicks out and both men are at a stand still! Riddle looks to lock up with Sammy but Sammy with a go-behind and goes for a waistlock takedown but Riddle blocks it and delivers a hard back elbow and proceeds to kick Sammy in the calf repeatedly before knocking Sammy down with a falling clothesline. Riddle takes control and catches Sammy coming at him with a jumping calf kick, pin attempt but only a two. Riddle hits Sammy numerous times with a forearm to the jaw and hits him with a quick striking combination before sweeping his legs from under him. Riddle goes for a standing senton but Sammy gets his knees up right into Riddle’s back! Guevara nips up and repeatedly viciously kicks Riddle in the back before coming off the ropes and delivering a basement dropkick to the back of Riddle’s head. Sammy covers, 1…..2….Riddle kicks out. Sammy drags Riddle up by the hair and delivers a kick to the gut before executing a beautiful delayed vertical suplex! Sammy now in control of the match goes for a rear chinlock. The crowd get behind Riddle with ‘Bro!’ chants as Riddle feeds off their energy and gets to his feet elbowing Guevara repeatedly in the gut before delivering a side suplex! Both men get to their feet and Riddle ducks a clothesline attempt but follows up with a springboard kick off the middle rope right to the face of Guevara! Sammy is on dream street so Riddle hits him with a Pele kick to send him to the mat. Riddle covers, 1……..2……no! Kick out! Riddle lands his standing senton splash and signals for the Bro Derek! Riddle gets Guevara into position but Guevara wriggles out under Riddle’s legs and levels Riddle with a Pele kick of his own as he turns around! Riddle slides out of the ring but Guevara catches him by surprise with a springboard crossbody down to the outside of the ring! Sammy gets to his feet first and drags Riddle to his feet before setting him up in a suplex position. Guevara lifts Riddle and executes a devastating release suplex on to the ring apron! Riddle folded up as the ref continues his count. Guevara rolls into the ring, confident that Riddle is going to be counted out. The ref gets all the way to 9 but Riddle crawls back into the ring at the last moment! Guevara rains down strikes on Riddle immediately and Guevara goes for the Burning Hammer GTS. Riddle on the shoulders delivers elbow strikes to Guevara to counter, Riddle climbs down and hits a step up knee right to Sammy’s jaw! Riddle then delivers an exploder suplex to Guevara. Riddle waist locks Guevara from the mat and delivers a series of gutwrench suplexes to Guevara! With Guevara down, Riddle heads to the top rope and attempts the Floating Bro but Guevara moves out the way just in time! Both men are down as ‘This is Awesome’ chants echo throughout the arena! Guevara uses the ropes to get to his feet, Riddle grabs Sammy from behind but Guevara swings a back elbow which connects and follows up with a superkick which knocks Riddle down! Sammy measures Riddle and waits for him to get to his feet before connecting with a devastating springboard cutter! Guevara puts his hand across Riddle, 1……….2……….nooo! Riddle kicks out! Guevara wastes no time and stomps away on Riddle before dragging him near the corner. Sammy goes for the 450 splash but Riddle gets his knees up! Sammy clutches his ribs in pain as Riddle gets to his feet, Riddle charges at Sammy and connects with a knee strike to the jaw! Riddle hoists Sammy in the air, Bro Hammer connects!! Riddle hooks both legs, 1………….2………….3!! Riddle rolls out of the ring and raises his arm in the air as he slowly walks up the ramp! Guevara has his head in his hands but a smattering of ‘Sammy!’ chants break out. Ranallo: ”An incredible semi-final match! Congratulations Matt Riddle!”McGuinness: ”Both men literally gave everything there, I think this crowd has a new found respect for Sammy Guevara! The plaudits tonight though go to Matt Riddle who will now wrestle for the Television Championship at Fall Of Man!”Ranallo: ”Guys, I’ve just been informed that there is some altercation happening backstage let’s see if we can get a camera back there!”We go backstage where Drew Galloway is arguing with The Young Bucks! The Good Brothers and Rhea Ripley are trying to calm the situation down. Drew can be heard screaming at The Young Bucks… “Where the hell were you guys!? Two weeks in a row you go missing when I needed you!”Nick Jackson can be heard shouting “Where the hell were you on Friday Drew!? Huh!? This isn’t The Bullet Club, this aint s**t anymore!”The two continue shouting over each other with The Good Brothers and Rhea Ripley in between them as we go back to the ring! PWU President Davey WilliamsDavey Williams gets a nice ovation from the fans as ‘PWU!’ chants break out. Mr Williams gets into the ring and has a microphone handed to him. ”Firstly, I’d like to apologise for my absence over the last few weeks from Warfare and FIGHT! as I have been a very busy man. You see, I love nothing more than coming out here and just experiencing this electricity that PWU fans bring! However sometimes I also need to do my actual job and run this organisation so that you guys keep returning and tuning in every week to the hottest pro wrestling company in the World right now! (The fans cheer and a ‘Davey’ chant breaks out!)
So I have a few reasons why I’m here tonight……the first reason is to address a certain member of our roster…our current Xcite Champion, Pac! (The crowd boo) Now Pac, I know you’re listening and I want you to listen good. Last week on FIGHT!, you refused to defend your Xcite Championship against Adeel Alam despite the fact that Stu Bennett booked that match! Now Pac, YOU do not make the rules around here, I DO! After Adeel defeated you on FIGHT cleanly, you have two options……..you can either defend your title against Alam at Fall of Man….or…..I can strip of your title here and now to refusing to defend it and crown Alam the Champion! Now the latter is not the way in which I wish to crown a PWU champion as I think competition is the only fair way, so I’m going to assume that the title match is set for Fall of Man!
Now on to my big announcement…….recently we have heard feedback from fans that we are not paying enough attention to our tag team division. We have a handful of wonderful teams in this promotion but to me tag team wrestling is a great staple in this sport and should be honoured further. I want our tag division to be the very best, therefore I’m announcing the first ever Road Warriors Invitational Tournament! This tournament will begin on the Warfare after Fall Of Man and will be comprised of 16 teams in a knock out tournament battling it out to become the Road Warriors Invitational champions and will also receive a shot at the PWU Tag Team Championships at our December event, Jingle Bell Brawl!!! There will be some surprises, however please turn your attention to the video wall and allow me to introduce the first team that will be entering the Road Warrior Invitational and they have signed exclusive PWU contracts…………”(We see a video package from this new team on the video wall showing them training in a forest setting and stretching before showing them in action at a training facility with hard hitting offense. The video ends with a man’s hand positioned in a claw coming towards the screen before the video ends with coming soon……….THE VON ERICHS! The crowd cheer loud as they realise Ross and Marshall Von Erich are on their way to PWU!) ”That’s right!! The Von Erich’s are in PWU!!! Now for my last announcement so we can get back to the action……this concerns next week’s Warfare Roulette, live from Las Vegas, Nevada! On next week’s show, the match stipulations will be decided by a spin of the wheel so……after what I’ve seen tonight I’m making next week’s main event with an unknown stipulation……Adam Cole taking on Jacob Fatu!!! Also next week seeing as there is a lot of animosity within The Bullet Club……Nick Jackson will be taking on Drew Galloway!!! Enjoy the rest of the show!”‘Davey’ chants break out again after he hands the mic back to the ring announcer. Ranallo: ”Can you believe what we just heard!? Next week in Vegas, Adam Cole and Jacob Fatu as well as Nick Jackson against Drew Galloway and we have no idea what the stipulations will be!”McGuinness: ”I wonder how both men feel about that match!? Plus the announcement of the Road Warrior Invitational and The Von Erich’s have signed with PWU and will be in that invitational tournament!”Aleister (PWU World Heavyweight Champion) vs. Johnny Gargano (Non-Title Match)Gargano shows no fear as he walks to the ring with Aleister sat cross legged in the corner staring him down. During Gargano’s entrance, we see Samoa Joe backstage watching on a monitor with a towel over his head. The bell sounds and Aleister starts off with a quick striking combo, kicks and punches to Gargano and sweeps his legs out from under him followed by a double foot stomp to the chest! Aleister not wasting any time here as he lifts Gargano up and goes for a snap suplex but Gargano blocks it and delivers numerous quick forearms to Aleister and charges off the ropes and delivers a running dropkick to Aleister then an armdrag! Gargano goes for a superkick but Aleister catches his foot and kicks away Gargano’s standing leg before driving his knee into Gargano’s thigh. Aleister continues to work on the leg and wrenches back on it. Aleister sees Gargano struggling to get to his feet and kicks Gargano’s legs viciously. Aleister gets Gargano in a waistlock before hitting a german suplex with a bridge, 1…….2…….no! Gargano kicks out! Aleister waits for Gargano to get to his knees and goes for a shining wizard which connects right to Gargano’s jaw! Aleister signals for the end and waits for Gargano to get to his feet. Aleister goes for the Midnight Mass but Gargano ducks it and hits a superkick to Aleister’s legs and then one onto Aleister’s jaw as he’s on his knees! Gargano heads to the ring apron and waits for Aleister to get back to his feet before hitting a roll through tornado DDT! Gargano covers, 1………..2………..no!! Aleister just gets the shoulder up! Almost an upset! Gargano puts the boots to Aleister before heading to the second turnbuckle. Gargano waits for Aleister to get to his feet again and jumps off the middle turnbuckle with a diving reverse STO driving the champion face first into the mat! Gargano wastes no time and lifts him up and delivers a snap german suplex followed by another superkick to a grounded Aleister! Gargano hooks the leg, 1……………2…………..NO!! The champion kicks out! Gargano implores Aleister to get to his feet as he measures him for another superkick but this time Aleister moves out the way and hits a spinning backhand to Gargano before drilling him in the back of the head with an enziguri! Gargano is dazed and Aleister hits a snap dragon suplex. Gargano staggers around and Aleister levels him with the Midnight Mass kick! Aleister covers, 1………..2………..3! Aleister gets the win. After the match, we see Kross and Levi come down to the ring and The Anarchy put the boots to Gargano! Kross hits a bicycle kick to Gargano but here comes Tommaso! Tommaso runs down to help out his DIY tag team partner but the numbers game proves too much and Tommaso is levelled with a Midnight Mass kick! DIY are made an example of but just as Aleister is about to hit a Midnight Mass on Gargano, outcomes Samoa Joe! Joe races down to the ring and Aleister and Joe start brawling in the middle of the ring exchanging strikes! Out of nowhere, Kross levels Joe with a bicycle kick! Levi stomps on Gargano and Tommaso to stop them from getting involved as Aleister levels Joe with the Midnight Mass! Suddenly the arena goes dark! We see on the video wall, images of woodland and other bizarre imagery. We hear sounds of birds before the lights return in the arena. Aleister looks a little puzzled and leaves the ring with The Anarchy as Joe and DIY are still down! Ranallo: ”What the hell was that!? The Anarchy leaving DIY and the number one contender Samoa Joe in a heap but…what was that on the video wall?”McGuinness: ”I’m not sure Mauro, maybe it was just a glitch! Least I hope that’s what it was!”
We go to a video promo for next week’s Warfare Roulette, showing Las Vegas at night, showgirls, craps tables and other Vegas imagery and ends with the tagline “Spin the wheel, what’s your deal?”We go backstage where Adnan Virk is standing by with The Young Bucks! Adnan asks: ”Nick/Matt we just heard that next week, you Nick will be facing Drew Galloway one on one on Warfare Roulette. Do you have any mixed emotions going in to that match next week?”Nick responds immediately ”Adnan, it didn’t have to come to this. The Bullet Club is supposed to be a brotherhood. We used to say if you’re Bullet Club, you’re Bullet Club for life. Not anymore it seems as Drew Galloway through all that out the window when he brought in Jacob Fatu to take out Adam and Britt. Now next week, I get to show Drew Galloway what The Bullet Club is about. He says he’s Bullet Club but in actual fact he just used the name…..”Matt Jackson continues… ”We don’t know what we face next week….we don’t know the stipulation but what we do know is that Drew better not take us lightly. We’re not taking this lightly, and The Good Brothers need to decide whether they are with us or against us! We want to restore The Bullet Club back to that ass kicking machine that it was all them years ago….not this incarnation. Y’know what maybe Kenny and AJ were right a few months ago….maybe we picked the wrong side. Next week Drew, be ready cos we’re gonna give you everything we have…..”Ranallo: ”We heard from Davey Williams earlier tonight, Adam Cole taking on Jacob Fatu next week with an unknown stipulation plus The Young Buck’s Nick Jackson taking on the leader of The Bullet Club, Drew Galloway!”McGuinness: ”It’s a huge week in PWU, let’s not forget tomorrow night, it’s FIGHT! on the Paramount Network and we’ve just heard that CM Punk and Kenny Omega will be face to face tomorrow night! I understand Kenny has requested that CM Punk face him in the ring tomorrow night on FIGHT after how Warfare ended last week, what a confrontation that will be! Omega and Punk face to face………tomorrow night!”Ranallo: ”Talking of confrontations Nigel, it’s time for the main event and I’m very much looking forward to this.”’El Idolo’ Andrade (PWU International Champion) and Claudio Castagnoli w/Ric Flair vs. Bryan Danielson and Kevin SteenDuring the entrances, you can see Danielson has some distain for Steen after Steen told Danielson he wants a shot at the International Championship IF he defeats Andrade at Fall of Man. The match starts with Castagnoli and Steen and at the bell both men exchange right hands simultaneously! Castagnoli kicks Steen in the gut and whips him off the ropes, attempted back body drop but Steen kicks him in the chest while Claudio’s head is lowered and follows up with a nice dropkick sending the Swiss Cyborg down! Steen then catches Claudio coming at him with a hiptoss followed by a snap powerslam and Steen starts like a house on fire! Steen goes to tag in Danielson and Danielson slaps Steen’s hand hard! Danielson charges and delivers a basement dropkick to Castagnoli and covers, 1…….2……kick out! Danielson goes to pick Castagnoli up but Castagnoli elbows Danielson repeatedly in the gut and sends him off the ropes connecting with a shoulder block sending him down. Castagnoli leaps over Bryan to the opposite ropes, Danielson leap frogs over him again and tries a hiptoss but Castagnoli lands on his feet and follows up with a falling clothesline! Castagnoli drags Danielson to his own corner and tags in Andrade who hammers away on Danielson. Andrade backs him into the corner and chokes him with his boot and distracts the ref upon release allowing Castagnoli to choke Bryan in the corner! Andrade charges at Danielson and hits a rope assisted enziguri to the back of Danielson’s head! Danielson is down, Andrade covers 1………2……..no! Danielson kicks out. Andrade gets Danielson in a rear chin lock and the crowd get behind Danielson. Danielson eventually gets to his feet still locked in the hold and reverses it with a jaw breaker! Andrade staggers, Danielson hits a series seated clotheslines to Andrade before whipping him into the turnbuckle. Danielson starts kicking Andrade in the chest numerous times with the fans chanting ‘Yes!’ on each kick but Kevin Steen slaps Danielson on the shoulder and tags himself in! Steen boots Andrade repeatedly in the ribs and pummels him until he’s seated in the corner. Steen backs away and hits the cannon ball onto Andrade! Steen hooks the leg, 1…….2……nooo! Steen heads to the middle turnbuckle and goes for the double jump moonsault but Andrade moves out the way and Steen finds nothing but canvas! Andrade gets to his feet and wears down Steen with stomps before lifting Steen to his feet and executing the three amigos suplexes! ‘Eddie!’ chants echo throughout the arena and Andrade covers, 1………….2………kick out! Andrade in full control here and this brings in Danielson who rushes in and hits a front dropkick to Andrade! Castagnoli then comes in and brawls with Danielson resulting in both men ending up on the outside of the ring! Andrade charges towards the middle turnbuckle and hits a springboard crossbody onto Danielson on the outside! Andrade and Castagnoli double team Danielson outside the ring but Steen gets to his feet in the ring and begins ascending to the top turnbuckle. Steen jumps and delivers a sommersault plancha onto everybody on the outside of the ring as ‘Kill Steen Kill’ chants are heard throughout the arena! Everybody is down on the outside as the fans applaud. After a short while, Steen rolls Andrade back into the ring and throws him into the ropes for a Pop Up Powerbomb but on the way down, Andrade catches Steen with a tornado DDT! Both men are down as Danielson and Castagnoli make their way to their respective corners. Steen crawls towards Danielson and the tag is made! Danielson comes in with authority, as he ducks Andrade’s clothesline attempt and hits him coming back with a seated clothesline! Danielson then dropkicks Castagnoli off the ring apron! Bryan calls for the running knee as the crowd are pumped up but Castagnoli out of nowhere comes back into the ring and hits a flying European uppercut on to Danielson! This brings in Steen and the two men exchange rights and lefts, Steen goes for a Stunner but Castagnoli counters it and hits a full nelson slam onto Steen! Steen rolls out the ring followed by Castagnoli and Andrade looks to hit La Sombra DDT on Danielson but Danielson counters it and locks Andrade in the Labelle Lock!! The crowd are buzzing here as Andrade tries his best to withstand the pain but it’s too much and Andrade taps out!!! Danielson gets the win for his team! Ranallo: ”Bryan Danielson did what he said he would do! He made Andrade tap, now can he do the same at Fall of Man and take that International Title!?”Andrade rolls out the ring with Flair grabbing Andrade’s championship and giving it to him. Andrade, Castagnoli and Flair make their way up the aisle to the back. Danielson motions to Andrade that the title is going to be his as Kevin Steen rolls back into the ring and stands behind Danielson, looking on. Steen turns Danielson around and stares at him…..it looks like they are going to fight but Steen raises Danielson’s hand in victory as Warfare goes off the air!

I would have very much liked to have seen PAC come out to challenge Williams on that. Maybe coming with an Option C, of sorts? That's definitely a potential firecracker of a situation you're setting up there.
