The show opens up and we see video footage from the recent IWA Draft where WCW selected for their number one draft pick, and coming soon to WCW......
The Great Muta
Then the cameras pan live and as the cameras pan around the live audience out comes the WCW General Manager..... Eric Bischoff!
Eric Bischoff: "I told the wrestling world when I was put in charge of WCW that only the very best would compete inside this squared Circle. And I made sure of that by signing one of the greatest wrestlers in the entire world.... The Great Muta..... to a WCW contract! We are in deep negotiations as to when The Pearl of the Orient will debut here in WCW. And are very excited about the possibilities he brings with him.
Buy I wasn't quite done with just signing Muta! Over the next few weeks, and even tonight, you will see many new faces coming to WCW. Which brings me to the current matter at hands. For the past several weeks, I have sent guys like Sid and Lex Luger and even Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko to Windy City to try to win and bring back the WCW tag titles where they belong. And without saying ..... they failed. But I am a man of my word. And I promised that I would get the titles back here where they belong. So I did some wheeling and dealing with Windy City.... and I now present to you the newest members to WCW...... The WCW tag team champions..... Randy Orton and Batista!"
Orton and Batista make their way towards the ring. And to say that they aren't happy is an understatement!
Randy Orton: "Eric Bischoff..... you have no idea what you have done! You think your cute by pulling some strings and drafting us to WCW, just because you don't have any teams here that can beat us for these titles! But in the meantime, you just broke up one if the greatest factions in all of pro wrestling known as Evolution!"
Batista: "And by doing that, you are messing with my pocketbook! And that's not something you want to do! So I suggest to you that....."
Eric Bischoff: "And I strongly suggest that you both don't do anything your going to regret. And let me remind you both..... here in WCW.....IM THE BOSS!"
Randy Orton: "Your not shit to us!! You know what Big Dave? Maybe it's time we show Eric here what happens when you cross The Animal and The Viper!"
Eric Bischoff: "Now hold on..... wait a minute fellas! Let me finish here.... I have one thing left to announce. See, you two aren't the only ones I drafted to WCW! Let me introduce you to your very first challengers for those WCW tag team titles......"
The live audience goes apeshit crazy as Hawk and Animal.... The Road Warriors charge the ring! Orton and Batista take their leave, looking on in shock as The Road Warriors stand tall inside the ring!
Jim Ross: "MY GAWD!! HAWK AND ANIMAL..... THE ROAD WARRIORS ARE HERE IN WCW! BISCHOFF HAS MADE THE MOVE OF THE CENTURY! THE ROAD WARRIORS ARE HERE.... AND BUSINESS IS ABOUT TO PICK UP BY GAWD!"
***COMMERCIAL BREAK ***
Match One: Kalisto vs Buddy Murphy w/ Zelina Vega
A “BEST KEPT SECRET” chant is heard in the crowd for Buddy Murphy, as Murphys strength dominates in the early portions. Kalisto gives his own in the initial test of strength however, as his luchador experience brings both men up to the top rope, allowing him to send Murphy flying to the opposite corner and out through the bottom rope after an elevated hurricanrana.
Kalisto follows with a somersault, but is stopped in his tracks with Zelima blocking Murphy. This doesn’t phase Kalisto however, who runs the ropes again and dives onto Murphy anyway. He jumps off the apron to attempt a tornado DDT onto the floor, but Murphy catches Kalisto off guard, slamming him to the floor by way of a running suplex.
Kalisto dodges a punt, and wriggles his way onto Murphy’s back with a sleeper. The stronger Murphy however throws Kalisto off his back and lands a face crushing knee. Kalisto once again starts a comeback. He runs the ropes, but Zelina grabs his foot, allowing Murphy to nail Kalisto with a vicious clothesline.
Kalisto is caught mid-air again trying a tornado DDT, but Kalisto wriggles free once again, smashing Murphy to the floor with first a reverse-rana and then a basement ‘rana. A close two-count from the referee has the crowd on Kalisto’s side. Murphy then rushes Kalisto in the corner, but Murphy eats a superkick. The exhausted pair crawl out onto the apron. Kalisto looks to continue his momentum, but Murphy literally launches Kalisto off the apron, his head snapping off the commentary table.
Murphy toys with both Kalisto and the referee’s ten-count. His cockiness gets the better of him as Kalisto up-ends him over the timekeeper’s barrier. With Murphy now fighting to beat the ten-count, he dashes into the ring. Again, however, Kalisto lands a basement ‘rana, 1.....2.....NO!!!
Kalisto takes to the skies, but Murphy catches him and locks in a powerbomb pin. He lifts Kalisto up before a three-count can commence, and floors his opponent with a sit-down powerbomb. 1.....2..... Kalisto kicks out of this pin-attempt at the last second. After a brief scuffle, Murphy locks in his “Murphy’s Law” finisher to get the victory!
***COMMERCIAL BREAK ***
As we come back from break we see the closing moments of the IWA Womens World title match.......
Baker grabs Lynch and crotches her on the top turnbuckle! Britt climbs up.....she wants a superplex!! As she battles to position Lynch up for the move, Asuka charges in and climbs up the turnbuckles as well......Asuka and Baker DOUBLE SUPERPLEX LYNCH TO THE MAT!! ALL THREE WOMEN ARE DOWN!! As the fans watch the carnage in the ring, two women jump over the ringside barricade!!
It's The IIconics!!!
They enter the ring and begin to help Becky Lynch to her feet!! Lynch looks confused at first, then begins smiling. Lynch goes for Asuka.....but the IIconics grab Lynch......and nails her with A DOUBLE GOOZLE! The IIconics throw Lynch out if the ring. Britt Baker crawls over to Asuka......and Aries the lockjaw to the world champion! The IIconics revive the ref then leave the ring. The ref crawls over and checks Asuka.....Asukas arm drops once.......DROPS TWICE.......DROPS THREE TIMES!!! BRITT BAKER IS YOUR NEW IWA WOMENS WORLD CHAMPION!!!!
Gene Okerlund: "There you seen the footage wrestling fans..... we indeed have a brand new IWA women's world champion in one Britt Baker. And if I could, I would like to bring her, along with her new associates out here at this time!"
Gene Okerlund: "Britt Baker, if I may? Last week you finally accomplished what you have been set to do for some months now, and that is becoming the new IWA Womens World champion! But it didn't come without some controversy, as these two women played a huge deciding factor."
Britt Baker: "Mean John.... first off put some respect in your mouth when talking to the Womens World Champion. For the past six months we all knew I was a role model to all the young girls out there. We also knew that when it comes to the Womens division.... I am without a doubt, the face of the division. But even with all that..... something was still missing! And do you know what that was "Mean John?"
Gene Okerlund: "If you don't mind, the name is Gene, and I would....."
Britt Baker: "Like it matters! As I was saying..... I had all the tools necessary to be the top woman in this industry just as we all expected. But every time I got the opportunity, something stood in my way. Whether it was me falling asleep from boredom in the I Quit match against Asuka. Or Becky Lynch sticking her nose where it doesn't belong. Something was still missing g. And then these two ladies came to me and it immediately hit me..... it was right there and then .... that I knew I needed .... The Inspiration! And that's exactly who these two ladies are.... The Inspiration! And if you thought I was unstoppable before..... just what taunting you see what your world champion, DR..... D.....M...D..... does from here!"
Gene Okerlund: "Well since you brought it up....it was announced just days ago that on October 23rd, at Violence of the Lambs, you will indeed defend that IWA Womens World title against Thunder Rosa!"
Britt Baker: "And they already come climbing out of the wood works wanting title shots. Funny thing about a storm Mean John, is that the lightning is the most dangerous thing about it. And the Thunder.... well we all know, is just nothing more than a bunch of irrelevant noise. So the name fits nicely for Thunder Rosa! On October 23rd, when she tries taking this title away from me..... she will find out first hand.... just how violent I can be!"
As Baker is about to leave the ring, Becky Lynch jumps the guardrail and enters the ring!
But before Lynch can get her hands on Baker, The Inspiration cut her off and jump her! The Inspiration pound away on Lynch as Baker watches on laughing. The Inspiration hot the double goozle on Lynch, then joins Britt as the trio takes their leave and Becky laying in the ring.
***COMMERCIAL BREAK ***
We come back from break and see video footage of a beautiful yacht out in the middle of the ocean. Then the cameras pan onto the yacht and we see a couple soaking up the sun while eating caviar and drinking champagne. The Man kisses the lovely woman as she walks away......
Andrade El Idolo: "Welcome to my world people. Being a man of great wealth, you can clearly see I want for nothing. I already hang with wrestling greatness, as I have the most beautiful woman.

Lex alot of things has happened here in WCW the past week.... your former tag team partner Sid Vicious is no longer with the company. And the same can be said for your best friend, Sting! So I must ask you .....what's next for Lex Luger from here?"
Lex Luger: "Ya know Mean Gene, your right.... it seems all my career me and the Stinger have been side by side, whether we was on the same page or not. Stinger is off to try and capture his life long dream of becoming the world champion. As for me? Anyone that knows the Total Package knows that I want that very same brass ring! While Stinger may be gone, I'm still the Total Package..... and I plan on going to the very top of the WCW!"
As Luger walks away we see a woman who was hanging on every word Luger had to say......

Teddy Long: "Now hold on a minute playa.... let me Holla at ya! My man Vader doesn't have anything else to prove to you. He's done left you laying out once. And me being the business man I am, won't let it happen again for free! There's no money in it for us playa!
