Saxton: I'm Byron Saxton here with Abraham Washington with another installment of Rising Stars. The show that showcases some of the young unsigned talent of the wrestling world.

AW: The operative word is "talent". We have 7 competitors left and they are all very talented.

Saxton: Well we may have 7 but on our next show we will have an elimination. But tonight we will have a 7 man Battle Royal and the winner will receive immunity to elimination next show. But before that we want to show you what happened at the last HLW TV show as Chris Candido made some very controversial comments.

(Replay of Candido's promo plays.)

AW: Man that guy is something else.

Saxton: Its going to be interesting to see where this goes from here. We'll be back.


COMMERCIAL FOR HULU PLUS PLAYS


(Video shows highlights from various matches of Kota Ibushi while we hear a voice over.)

Voice Over: Kota Ibushi has become a big name in the independent circuit of Japan. Wrestling for just 3 years he has shown skills far past his experience. He can mat wrestle as well as take it to the air. His Phoenix Splash is just one way he can end a match but it may be the most spectacular way. This young man has already set his goal. That is to set the UWF on fire!

Saxton: That was a closer look at Kota Ibushi he will compete in tonights Battle Royal with the other 6 men vying for an HLW contract.

AW: Exciting time for them and us! Lets get this started!

Main Event: Battle Royal for immunity for next show's elimination.

(Dean Ambrose and Tito Colon immediately go at one another. We see Langston and Ricochet beating down Wes Brisco. El Hijo De Rey Mysterio catches Ibushi with a Hurracanrana that amost sends him over the top. Rey goes for a Thesz press on Langston but he catches him and sends him Flying over the top rope.

El hijo de Rey Mysterio is eliminated.

The other 5 see this then all look at each other. Then they turn and attack Langston. They beat him down for a minute and a half. Ambrose hits the Midnight Special on him and they all drag him up and flip him over to the floor.

Big E Langston is eliminated.

Dean is choking Ricochet in the corner. Tito and Wes are rying to get out Kota. we are told they need to take a quick commercial break.)


COMMERCIAL FOR HLW TV AIRS



(When the show returns Kota is laying in kicks on colon and Wes has joined Ricochet beating on Ambrose. Colon goes for a dropkick but Kota holds the ropes and Colon hits his head on the mat. He is stunned and is tossed out by Ibushi.

Tito Colon is eliminated

Ricochet hits the WTF on Brisco as he plays to the crowd Ambrose sneaks behind him and knocks him over and to the floor.

Ricochet is eliminated

Dean and Ibushi team up on Brisco. They are beating him down they try sending him over but he skins the cat. He hits a double bulldog on both men. He is firing big right hand at both men. Ambrose rakes his eyes and pulls him by the hair to the ropes. Dean calls Ibushi to help. He does ...by sending both men over simultaneously.

Dean Ambrose and Wes Brisco are eliminated.

Winner: Kota Ibushi

Saxton: There you have it Ibushi does it!

AW: There are no friends in a Battle Royal. I'm surprised I figured it would be Ambrose who would do the double crossing here.

Saxton: Well thats our show. Remember fans polls open at midnight. Please vote to keep your fav rookie here on Rising Stars.

AW: Someone going home. I hope it aint me! Ha ha!
