Dawn Marie: "Seasons Greetings Las Vegas! And welcome to night 5 of the 12 Days of Christmas tour! I'm your host.... Dawn Marie! And these are Santa's little helpers..... Torrie and Jackie! And we have a huge show for you tonight headlined by "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair defending the IWA World title against Magnum TA! And sooo much more! And to start things off, it's time to get..... Elite!" Match One: Rich Swan, ACH, and AR Fox vs Adam Cole & The Young Bucks Matt starts off hot, but AR Fox drops him with a spinning brainbuster. Rich Swann comes in, but is quickly taken over by the Bucks. Adam Cole asks the crowd to stop singing “All Night Long”, (Rich Swans entrance song) but since they don’t oblige, he just leaves. His facial expressions are the best. He even tells the ref to tell the crowd to shut up. ACH jumps Cole with a reverse DDT. Cole out and tags out to Nick. Nick BITCH-SLAPS ACH! Then ACH SPIKES HIM ON HIS HEAD FOR REVENGE! Swann and Fox do a double Rolling Thunder off the top rope. Nick misses a Stinger Splash and EATS a spinning enzuigiri from Swann. Fox backflips on top of Matt outside the ring, setting ACH up for a dive…but Cole comes in and levels him with a clothesline mid-stride. Cole tries a Bronco Buster on ACH but he boots Cole right in the dick! Superkick scores, and ACH gets the hot tag! DOUBLE BACK ACE CRUSHER FROM FOX! DOUBLE BACK HANDSPRING ACE CRUSHER FROM SWANN! Fox cracks Cole with an enzugiri, but runs right into a Nick Jackson back kick. Nick Jackson puts Fox on top, but FOX DIVES OUT WITH AN IMPLODING FRONT FLIP TO THE OUTSIDE ON COLE AND MATT! ACH MOONSAULTS OUT! FOX WITH A 450 ON NICK! 1.....2......NO!! COLE TAKES FOX OUT AND WHEELBARROWS HIM ON THE APRON! NO HANDS PLANCHA ON RICH FROM NICK! SLICED BREAD AND TWO SHINING WIZARDS ON FOX! 1......2......NO!! Codebreaker scores for Fox on Matt, and Nick goes flying off the top rope after Matt runs into him. Swann misses a Frog Splash and tags Cole in, but Cole eats an enzuigiri! ACH comes in, and FOX DIVES OVER HIM AND THE RINGPOST ON TOP OF THE BUCKS! ACH COMES OFF OF THE SECOND ROPE WITH A REVERSE RANA ON COLE! FROG SPLASH FROM SWANN! 1.....2.... COLE KICKS OUT! ACH WALKS RIGHT INTO A SUPERKICK! STEREO 450’S BY SWANN AND FOX! ANOTHER NEARFALL! Fox looks for Lo Mein Pain, but COLE FUCKING CATCHES HIM MID JUMP WITH A GERMAN!! SWANN EATS PANAMA SUNRISE! That leaves ACG all alone with the Elite AND ACH EATS TRIPLE EARLY ONSET ALZHEIMER’S! EARLY ONSET ALZHEIMER’S INTO THE FLORIDA KEY FROM COLE! 1......2......3!!! The Elite are your winners!!
Dawn Marie: "What a crazy match! So much action! But for a guy who wants to do things on his own, why is Cole teaming with the Bucks? Match Two: Dante Martin vs Grif Garrison After a show of respect between both men in the form of a handshake the match started off with some impressive quick exchanges from both men. We then see more incredible athleticism from Dante Martin as he sent Garrison face-first into the turnbuckle before forcing him to leave the ring. Martin then hit a Moonsault out to the floor onto Garrison. Back inside,, Garrison came back strong, taking control of the match with the ground game applying a modified Single Leg Grab.
The crowd begins to buzz as they see "The Machine" Brian Cage making his way to ringside......
Cage grabs Garrison and hits Chainlink (Swinging side slam backbreaker) then he hits a Lariat on Dante. Cage grabs Dante..... GMSI (Pumphandle sitout facebuster) Cage then hurls Garrison and Dante out if the ring. Cage demands the housemic......
Brian Cage: "MJF.... YOU CHICKENSHIT BASTARD.... WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU.... YOUR A FUCKIN DEAD MAN!!" Match Three: Manny Fernandez vs Ole Anderson MANNY was the one to end OLE'S TV Title reign but unfortunately this is a non title match! However we were informed prior to the start of the show that this is now a LOSER LEAVES TOWN match!!
OLE and the champ tear into each other as the stakes became even higher! OLE is even more deliberate and violent duringb the first several minutes! But MANNY has been on a roll lately and fights his way back ! He slams OLE and then hits him with a cross body block!
MANNY then throws OLE into the ropes and on the rebound he hits OLE with the flyingn forearm and gets then pin!!'
Your winner....the WWF TV CHAMPION MANNY FERNANDEZ! A dejected OLE leaves the ring as he now must leave the WWF!
Dawn Marie: "That's two nights in a row that the WWE has pulled off a shocker. A new champion crowned last night in Don Muraco and now tonight, they have one less person on their roster as Ole Anderson must leave town!" Match Four : Cesaro vs Bryan Danielson Lots of chain wrestling kicks this match off …. DANIELSON with an armbar but CESARO counters with some strikes and an uppercut …. DANIELSON avoids a running uppercut in the corner and unleashes with shoot kicks followed by the running dropkicks in the corner …. DANIELSON in control now, and he concentrates on the arm of CESARO …. CESARO comes back with a slam but he is heavily favoring the arm …. STO by CESARO gets a 2 count and BRYAN escapes to the floor …. CESARO follows, but BRYAN slams him into the steps and then hits a series of suicide dives …. He gets CESARO against the ringpost and lights him up with kicks, but CESARO out of the way and DANIELSON kicks the ring post!!!! CESARO takes over working the leg injury to BRYAN, but BRYAN tries to battle back with uppercuts of his own …. Cesaro tries to come back with uppercuts of his own but DANIELSON hits a kick to the injured arm and then tries for the Yes Lock …. CESARO fights it off but DANIELSON hits a Tiger Suplex and floats right into the ‘Cattle Mutilation’, but CESARO manages to get a foot on the ropes to break it …. DANIELSON walks right into the Swiss Death, but on the way down DANIELSON reverses it in mid-move and turns it into a backslide! CESARO kicks out at 2, but DANIELSON traps the arms and starts raining down hard elbow strikes to the side of the head of CESARO! Finally, the ref steps in and stops the match when CESARO is no longer able to defend himself.
POST MATCH: DANIELSON grabs the microphone and talks about the upcoming match with JUNGLE BOY at Wrestle Kingdom, and he takes a moment to run down JUNGLE BOY. He says the key word in his name is ‘BOY’, well, DANIELSON is a MAN! He is here wrestling every week, and he’s wrestling against top competition like ANTONIO CESARO. He will take on all comers because he is a professional …. Meanwhile, JUNGLE BOY sits at home and is protected by the IWA …. He has been TV Champion for a few weeks and he already can’t stand up to the pressure because he’s sitting home hurt.
DANIELSON is interrupted as out comes Blue Grass Rasslin’s own BOB ARMSTRONG!
The announcers talk about hwo ARMSTRONG is JUNGLE BOY’s mentor and he showed up at AEW #37 and attacked DANIELSON for what he did to JUNGLE BOY …. ARMSTRONG says JUNGLE BOY is more a man than DANIELSON will ever be, and he is obviously threatened by him because he attacked him! If DANIELSON wants a fight, he will fight him! DANIELSON calls ARMSTRONG a coward because he just wrestled, but says he will fight him on the next episode of AEW …. DANIELSON leaves!
Dawn Marie: "It looks like Bob Armstrong has took exception to the words of Bryan Danielson and the match is set for the next edition of AEW. But I have to question the matter..... is Armstrong in over his head against Danielson?" Match Five : The Briscoes vs Homicide & Hernandez Homicide and Mark begin with a back and forth exchange. Things eventually escalate into a strike exchange. Hernandez asserts his power advantage against Jay. Hernandez takes down the Briscoes with a double clothesline. He hits a delayed vertical suplex on Mark. Homicide adds a headscissors and wipes out Mark with a dive. In the ring, LAX continues to work over Mark until he’s able to back Homicide into his corner. Jay unloads a series of strikes on Homicide but LAX isolate him as well. Mark interjects himself from the apron to help out his brother. The Briscoes work over Homicide until Hernandez blind tags into the match with a slingshot shoulder block. He sends Mark across the ring with an overhead suplex and hits a half nelson suplex on Jay. Mark comes off the middle rope but Hernandez elevates him into a sit-out powerbomb. Jay lands a dive to the floor onto Homicide. Mark stops Hernandez from diving with an enzuigiri and lands a dive of his own. Hernandez gets to his feet and lands his impressive dive over the top rope. In the ring, Homicide connects with a top-rope elbow drop on Mark. The Briscoes work together to superplex Hernandez. Homicide hits an ace crusher on Jay and connects with a lariat for a nearfall. He hits the Cop Killa on Mark for a two count. Jay hits the Jay Driller on Homicide for a nearfall. Jay escapes the Border Toss and hits a death valley on Hernandez. The Briscoes catch Hernandez with a top-rope leg drop-shooting star press combination for the win.
The cameras pan backstage where we see Adam Cole walking down a hall about to leave the venue and as he turns the corner he runs into.......
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin!
Steve Austin: "Going somewhere kid? Where's your buddies.... The Bucks?" Adam Cole: "AHEM! Listen..... I've said it a million times..... I have nothing to do with whatever deal they have with Flair! In all honesty..... you should be taking that up with Flair..... not me?" Steve Austin: "WHAT?" Adam Cole: "I said you should....." Steve Austin: "WHAT??" Adam Cole: "I said....." Steve Austin: "I heard what you said! You think I'm deaf? It's funny that you think I should take it up with Flair! Because that's exactly what I'm gonna do real sion! But now it seems you and me have some business coming up on the 23rd don't we? Title vs title ring a bell?" Adam Cole: "It's what I've wanted since I got here!" Steve Austin: "Is that a fact? Well.... I had planned on leaving Wrestle Kingdom in January with two belts..... mine and Flairs! But now it looks like I'm gonna get yours too! Ain't gonna be no Christmas miracle either Son! It's gonna be Seasons Beatings all over the damn place because plain and simple..... I'm gonna kick your ass! And that's the bottom line......" Adam Cole: "NO!! You don't get to say so! On December 23rd, I'm going to do what I've said I was going to for the last 2 months.....and that's beat you to unify these titles. And I will do it without The Bucks.... without Ric Flair..... just me.....on my own!" Steve Austin: "Well alright then! I'm looking forward to it! A man who likes to do things his way....on his own. That's real swell! But do me a favor would ya? When you do see your boys.....The Bucks.....give em something for me?" Austin flips Cole off before he walks away leaving Cole watching on!

SAVAGE just beats the hell outta IDOL on the arena floor including dropping IDOL throat first across the metal guardrail! SAVAGE drags IDOL towrad the ring bit posts him,which bysts IDOL open!
SAVAGE then grabs a chair and waffles IDOL across the back several times! The ref has already signaled for the bell to be rung basically signalling a non contest as this neer hit the ring! As a prone IDOL lays on the ringside floor,SAVAGE enters the ring,climbs the top turnbuckle and comesd off onto a rising IDOL on the arena floor with a vicious double ax handle!
This lays IDOL comletely out and SVAGE 's crazy ass finally goes to the back Unfortunately EMT'S have to come out and stretcher IDOL out and take him to the local hospital!
Main Event: Magnum TA vs Ric Flair for the IWA World title Magnum works on the arm to start and holds a hammerlock, then wins a wristlock battle and powers him into the corner. Flair begs off to recover, and chops Magnum down. TA reverses him out of the corner with a backdrop, however, which gets two. He goes to work on the arm again, but Flair dumps him to escape. TA is pissed now, though, and slugs away in the corner before missing a dropkick. Flair drops a knee on him and gets a butterfly suplex for two. He goes to the abdominal stretch and then whips Magnum into the corner, then snapmares him into another kneedrop. That misses and Magnum pops up with a figure-four, however. Flair pulls himself to the ropes and Magnum drags him back out for another go, but Flair fights him off and goes low. Magnum keeps fighting with a suplex for two, and then a slick backslide gets two. Magnum fires away in the corner, but Flair goes to the eyes and tosses him, and they brawl on the floor. Flair sends the shoulder into the post and chops it , but Magnum manages a sunset flip back into the ring. Flair slugs him to block that and goes back to work on the arm with a hammerlock and his good friend the ropes. Flair cranks on the arm with a standing armbar, then takes him to the corner for a few chops before going back to the ropes for more cheating. Flair slugs away, but Magnum catches him in a sleeper. He releases after some great desperation selling by Flair, but a splash attempt hits knee. They slug it out and Flair swoops right in with a kneecrusher and goes into the figure-four without missing a beat. Magnum turns it over and Flair releases to try again, but Magnum reverses for two. They slug it out again and Magnum wallops him, and we get a Flair Flip to put him on the floor. Flair meets the post and starts bleeding, and Magnum goes after it back in the ring. Flair Flops and Magnum gets two off it. He backdrops Flair out of the corner for two, and they go into the pinfall reversal sequence. Backslide gets two for Magnum and he hits the belly to belly to seemingly finish, but the ref gets knocked down and it only gets two. Magnum rolls him up, but Flair grabs the tights and reverses as the ref counts three!
Dawn Marie: "And that's why they call Fic Flair the "Dirtiest Player in the Game! Love him or hate him, Slick Ric continues to put the challengers away during the tour. We will see him again in London in a couple of days. And we will see you tomorrow night!"
