Saxton: Time for out Cruiserweight Title Match, Tammy.
Sytch: Best part of the show. But why is this kid getting another shot?

Richie Steamboat Charlotte, NC
vs
Chris Candido XWA Cruiserweight Champion New Jersey
(Richie does even better than last time and really has Chris on the ropes. It takes a handful of tights for Candido to retain.)
Winners: Chris Candido
(After Richie is complaining to referee, Paul Turner. When Candido blasts him from behind. He puts the boots to him then hits a Suplex and goes up top for the Jersey Jam. Out runs Bobby Fish who blocks Chris from jumping. Candido leaves as Fish glares at him.)
Saxton: You must be so proud of your "Bae" right now.
Sytch: Of course! He won! But what the heck is Bobby Fish' problem. He better watch himself or he may get deported out of XWA too.
Saxton: I wish we could build a wall around your head... We'll be back!
(Camera switches backstage to Dixie Carter's office. There's a knock then enters the NextGen Champion, Will Ospreay.)
Carter: I know Will. You were supposed to defend the Next Gen Title tonight.
Ospreay: I was waiting for that all week. What happened?
Carter: Well... two things. First the wrestler I was going to have you face signed with CWX. But I have another challenger.
Ospreay: That's fine, the 2nd?
Carter: The 2nd is that I want you to fight on the Great American Bash Show. I think you will be perfect to open the show.
Ospreay: That's a big opportunity. I will show everyone just how great I am. Thank you Dixie.
Carter: You're welcome. And by the way, That challenger? Will be Hangman Adam Page.
(Charly Caruso is in the ring as she introduces Fist of Islam.)
Caruso: Gentleman, since entering XWA you guys have been on a roll. The crowd seems still split on you. Is that why you are against America?
Ali: Against America? What are you talking about?
Daivari: We LOVE America! We just hate these fans. Just because we are Muslim doesn't mean we hate this country. I was born here. What we hate is these racist fans who boo us because of our faith.
(Crowd boos.)
Caruso: I think they boo you because of the shortcuts you guys take in the ring.
Ali: Shortcuts? Come on Charly. If we were "One of you" you would call it savvy or anything to win and cheer us.
Daivari: Exactly, But it doesn't matter. We are strong and proud of who we are and Anyone who gets in our way will feel the force of the Fist of Islam.
Caruso: One more thing, Where is your Manager, Shawn Daivari?
Daivari: My uncle is out taking care of business for us. Getting us opportunities we would otherwise be denied.
Ali: You think it's a coincidence that we are undefeated in the UWF yet are not booked on the Great American Bash? Please...
Caruso: Well I can't answer that but thank you for your time.
Ali: Salam Malakum
Saxton: Up next is our other Semi-Final in the Femme Fatale Tournament.
Sytch: Melissa has been running roughshod over everyone for 2 years. I see no change tonight.
Saxton: Well you have been running roughshod over me for two years also.
Sytch: I see no change there ever.
Lacey Minneapolis, MN
vs
Melissa Anderson San Francisco, CA
(This is a great match. Both women came to fight and are exchanging big moves. Lacey hits a Reverse DDT and covers for a near fall. Anderson gets Lacey in a Sharpshooter and Lacey barely makes the ropes before tapping. The action heats up and Lacey is backdropped over the ropes. She takes a nasty fall and looks like she wont be able to get back in. But Anderson goes out and gives her a Curb stomp on the floor. She re-enters as Lacey is out and is counted out.
Winner: Melissa Anderson
Sytch: Jeez! She just flattened Lacey.
Saxton: Was that necessary? I don't see anyway Lacey was going to continue.
Sytch: Hey, you fight until the bell. Lacey is tough. You do what you have to.
Saxton: It seemed a bit excessive to me. Kind of like your perfume.
Sytch: Watch it Saxton!
(Backstage we see Carly Caruso.)
Caruso: With me now are Darren Young & Kenny King, The Young Kings. Gentlemen at the Great American Bash you get a rematch with the XWA Tag Team Champions, Gallows & Anderson of Bullet Club. What must you do differently to win the titles?
King: I think last time we didn't wrestle our match. We wrestled theirs. We let them dictate the pace and mode. We wont do that again.
Young: What we also wont do is allow any outside shenanigans to interfere with our game plan. Whether it's Amber Gallows or any other member of the Bullet Club. If you stick your nose in this match we just might bite it off.
Caruso: Is this your last chance?
Young: Honestly... I don't know. And because of that we're going to fight like it is.
King: In this business it's not about what opportunities you get, it's what you do with them. The Young Kings know this and we will take advantage. You are looking at the Next XWA Tag Team Champions!
Caruso: The fans I think would love that. Good Luck guys.
King: Maybe you and I can have a post match celebration?
Caruso: Tell you what. Why don't you win the titles first before I say no. Deal?
Saxton: Time for our HUGE 6-Man Tag Main Event.
Sytch: All 6 of these men will face each other in singles competition at The Bash Show.
Saxton: All of those matches should be fantastic. But the Main Event is Tanahashi defending his title against his old rival, Shinsuke Nakamura.
Sytch: Let's not forget Okada and Shawn Michaels.
Saxton: I'm sure you haven't forgotten HBK.
Sytch: Shut it Saxton.
Eden: This is our Main Event!
Tommy Dreamer, Shawn Michaels & Hiroshi Tanahashi
vs
CHAOS (Shinsuke Nakamura, Tomohiro Ishii & Kazuchika Okada) w/Gedo Japan
(Wild 6-Man match that doesn't take long to break down with everyone fighting at once. HBK and Okada are brawling up the aisle. Dreamer gives Ishii a DDT. but then is clotheslined over the top by Nakamura. Tanahashi hits Ishii with the High Fly Flow but right after he connects Nakamura catches him with the Boma Ye. 1.. 2.. 3!
Winners: CHAOS
Saxton: Nakamura just pinned the XWA Champ!
Sytch: And if he does that at the Great American Bash we will have a new champion!
Saxton: This is shaping up to be quite the card coming up.
Sytch: It's the Bash Saxton! It's always big time!
Saxton: That's all our time. Thanks for watching. For Tammy Sytch, I'm Byron Saxton. Good night.
