CITY: Los Angeles, California
CAPACITY: 10,258
ANNOUNCE TEAM: Mauro Renallo & Corey Graves |  |
Huge pyro explodes from the stage and 10,000 strong are on their feet in the Beyond ‘Asylum’ in SoCal ....Show opens with Shane McMahon coming down to the ring, once again wearing the Beyond title .... Shane says the title will be known as the Beyond ‘ELITE’ title .... He moves on to address the closing moments of Beyond #5, where he took the Rock Bottom .... He’s going to let what happened with the Rock last week slide because he knows emotions were running high .... HBK and the Rock will face off at INCEPTION, but tonight it’s about the ELITE title ....
‘JUDAS’ by Fozzy hits and out comes Chris Jericho to interrupt .... Jericho is out here to save this segment because Chris Jericho is the crown jewel of this company .... Shane says for someone who says they are the best in the world at what they do, so far all Jericho has done is open the show or be a wannabe rock Star .... He’s tired of Jericho’s words and he wants to see some action .... Jericho says Shane is a joke and says Vince McMahon would never tolerate a talent putting his hands on him like Shane did .... DWAYNE should be fined and suspended for what he did .... Jericho questions Shane’s leadership skills, and says since Shane isn’t capable of leading then it’s up to him to be the leader of Beyond .... and he is going to lead by example when he defeats 19 other men in THE MATCH BEYOND and wins the ELITE title tonight ....
We go to Mauro & Graves at ringside .... They hype THE MATCH BEYOND, and set up the other matches on the show tonight .... We are going to see Sasha Banks defend her IWS All-Stars women’s title against Kairi Sane, but standing by right now is the team that made a shocking debut last week, Scott Dawson & Dash Wilder, The Revival ....
IN THE BACK - JENN DECK is with THE REVIVAL (Scott Dawson & Dash Wilder)The Revival are standing by with JENN DECKER .... Why target the Steiners? Dawson says it’s prison rules .... you walk in and punch the biggest, baddest guy in the mouth on day 1 .... what they did was send a message that they run this tag team division now .... The Steiners are brothers, so what? Dash & Dawson have known each other all their lives and are closer than brothers .... they put themselves over as tag team specialists and the BEYOND tag team division is going to be the best in the IWA because of the Revival ....1. DIRT SHEET w/ The Miz & John MorrisonMiz & Morrison discuss THE MATCH BEYOND tonight and they argue about which one of them is going to be the one to win the match .... Miz says no matter what, one of them will win the ELITE title and then they will win the tag titles too and have ALL the titles .... Miz insists it will be him, but Morrison disagrees ....
They introduce their guest, and it’s BECKY LYNCH .... a lot of mystery is surrounding Lynch the last few weeks .... Especially after Becky ‘inadvertently’ cost Tessa Blanchard her match against Lacey Evans on RISE #1 .... Becky plays innocent, saying she was just coming out to do her job as a guest commentator .... the fact is, everyone wants to know what Becky is thinking, but no one wants to let her speak .... that’s ok, because she isn’t here to talk she’s here to fight ....
Queue Bayley & Sasha Banks entrance, cutting Becky off again .... Becky is visibly annoyed .... they are confused by her behavior as well .... Bayley asks Becky if she trusts them, and Becky says she does .... they want to go to the back and talk about it .... KAIRI SANE’S music hits and she comes out for her match with Sasha ...
2. Sasha Banks defends the IWS Women’s All-Star title against Kairi Sane High energy match here .... Sane connects with the In-SANE elbow drop, but Bayley pulls the ref outside the ring before the 3! Sane wipes out Bayley with a dive and faces off with Becky, and the distraction allows Banks to hit the Backstabber into the Banks Statement for the submission on Kairi
POST MATCH: Bayley is back up and attacks Kairi .... Sasha joins in but Bayley just stands there and watches .... Asuka hits the ring to make the save .... Becky then chooses to enter and gets right in Asuka’s face! Everyone is down and we get a stand off with Asuka & Becky! .... Tessa hits the ring and attacks Asuka from behind! Tessa looks at Becky like ‘why aren’t you joining in’ but Becky still just stands there .... Lacey Evans runs down with a chair to make the save and Sasha, Bayley & Tessa bail out .... Becky doesn’t back down despite the fact that Lacey has a chair! Becky smiles and finally just leaves the ring on her own, walking right past Valkyrie without acknowledging them ....
IN THE BACK - CHARLY CARUSO is with NIKITA & IVAN KOLOFF* We see footage of last week with the Russians attacking Kurt Angle and stealing his gold medals *
Ivan points to the footage and says they are the victims ... he says all they did was exercise Freedom of Speech and the American attacked them for it .... just like Americans attack everyone .... Ivan says he and Nikita were peaceful but then they showed Kurt Angle just how superior the are .... where is Angle? He isn’t even here this week .... they took his Gold Medals, his most prized possession, and Angle does nothing because Nikita is superior .... and tonight he will win the ELITE title ....We go back into the arena ....
Out comes PAUL HEYMAN and he’s carrying the UWF world title belt!
HEYMAN - ‘Ladies and gentlemen ... my name is Paul ... Heyman. And tonight, all of you here in Los Angeles, and yes even myself, are here to witness history. And I get the best seat in the house .... Allow me to introduce to you .... your REIGNING ... DEFENDING ... UNDISPUTED ... UWF WORLD Champion ... Ladies & Gentlemen ... the Best in the World ... C ... M ... PUNK!’‘CULT OF PERSONALITY’ by Living Colour hits and brings out CM Punk!!!! He’s here!!!! Mauro comments on how Punk is still wearing the UWF world heavyweight title .... Graves says of course he is because he’s the world champion! Mauro says that Beyond doesn’t recognize the title of THAT organization as the world title ....
You see, these people may be entitled to their opinions, but they are NOT entitled to facts! And the fact is, Hogan, that you are a liar and a thief! The FACTS remain clear: you’ve stolen my moves, you’ve stolen my spotlight, and you have a belt that makes you believe that you have a claim to being the Best in the World, but the FACT is that the Best in the World AND the real world champion is C
...M ... Punk! I hold in my hand a belt that has over a decade of lineage, you have a belt that is living out the final moments of its 15 minutes of fame .... But Hogan, your 15 minutes are now up! If you call yourself a champion, hell, if you call yourself a MAN, I am challenging you to meet me right here next week, on this platform .... because I’ve got something to tell you face to face and, believe me, it’s something you’re gonna want to hear. Hogan, the ‘real’ world champion looks forward to your answer ....’Back at the announce desk, Mauro and Graves talk about this bombshell. CM Punk has challenged Hulk Hogan, the IWA world champion, to meet him here in BEYOND next week!!!! The IWA world champion and the UWF world champion will be in a BEYOND ring at the same time! What does this mean???
IN THE BACK -
Cameras follow Kurt Angle as he arrives at the building .... JENN DECKER tries to get a word with him but Angle just walks right by .... he’s on a mission .... the camera crew follows him as he goes looking for Nikita & Ivan .... He busts up in the locker room and attacks Nikita, but Ivan quickly jumps in and it’s 2 on 1 .... Angle gets beat down and Nikita takes the Russian chain and nails Angle with it! Angle is busted open, and Nikita takes the chain and hammers him repeatedly with it! Angle is a bloody mess!!!! Agents and backstage guys finally come in and break it up, but Angle is left laying ....Back at the announce table, Mauro says they will get an update on Kurt Angle as soon as possible, but his status for the MATCH BEYOND could be in doubt after that attack by the Russians ....
3. Mia Yim vs. Deonna PurazzoPurazzo is fully acting heel now .... we notice that SoCal Val has come out to watch Yim .... Purazzo attacks the arm as she is known to do .... However, Toni Storm runs out of the back and attacks Purazzo, giving Yim the win via DQ ....
POST MATCH: The beat down continues as Toni kicks Deonna’s ass all over the ringside area and sends her running to the back .... we see SoCal Val again, who is taking notes on her clipboard ....

ROCK - ‘FINALLY .... THE ROCK .... HAS COME BACK ... TO LOOOOOS ANGEEEELLLLEEEES! You wanna ask the Rock about Shawn Michaels .... you wanna ask the Rock about adversity .... being down to my last $7.00 in my pocket .... to today .... the Rock knows about adversity .... and just like the Rock is standing here the most electrifying man in sports and entertainment, the Rock says he’s about to walk through THE MATCH BEYOND and lay the smack down on 19 other candy asses! And when all the dust has settled and all the smoke has cleared, the Rock is gonna be the one standing there with the Elite title! Shawn Michaels, at INCEPTION you will go one on one with the Great One .... but tonight the Rock says if you enter the match before the Rock, go hide under the ring, under the announce table, it doesn’t matter .... but the Rock says at some point tonight he hopes that you and the Rock end up in the ring at the same time, because at that very moment, the Brahma Bull is gonna dip his horns and STICK EM STRAIGHT UP YOUR CANDY ASS!!!! IF YA SMEEEEEEELLLLLOW .... WHAT THE ROCK .... IS COOKIN’ ....‘Back at the announce table Mauro and Graves talk about the Rocks intensity and say he’s ready for tonight ....

HBK says in one night, the power of Sweet Chin Music shifted the balance of power in Beyond .... All these nimrods keep talking about how they are gonna be the one to win THE MATCH BEYOND .... everyone needs to realize that HBK is THE GUY around here, because he has 2 things that no one else on this roster has .... something not even the Rock has .... one is talent on loan from God, and the other is the absolute will to be the very best in this business .... and at the end of the night I’m going to have something else that no one else has, and that is the Elite title!!!!Order of entry:
