Elizabeth Savage is in the control center with Fred Blassie and will be discussing what is his next move and we will set the card for BTW and AMC’s live at the Hollywood Bowl this Saturday . A special presentation from Gorilla Monsoon for the first ever Tag Team Invitational Open winners The Armstrongs and MJF the X Division Champion is here .

Break
Sasha Banks vs Marti Belle: Belle hits a couple of knees . Banks fires back with a Suplex . She hits the Guerrero Frog Splash and gets the 3 . The crowd pops huge . At ringside we see the North American Woman’s Champion Lacey Evans looking on . The two make eye contact and the champion takes her leave .
Sam : Things are pretty intense right now between Lacey Evans and new comer Sasha Banks , right now let’s send it to Elizabeth Savage in the control center.
Liz : Thank you Sam , I’m Elizabeth Savage and this is your control center report . Well the Open and the Bunkhouse finale are both over . The Armstrongs are the Open champions and Bob Backlund defended his title in a cage against Fred Blassie. Mr . Blassie has joined us today , Fred Blassie welcome to the control center . A lot of fans are wondering what is next .
Blassie : Mrs. Savage , after Bobby proved he was more man than I gave him credit for , I took a long hard look at my career . For years in every territory , I was always the number two guy . That’s always been good enough for me , but not anymore . I want to be a champion and if I can’t get it , I’ll find someone to go out and take it for me . Bobby , I’m done wrestling you . You were the better man and have nothing to prove to me .
So now where do I go . Well , I see the Rock running around here with the Heritage Title . I see Armstrongs running around here with a ridiculous amount of tag team gold . Maybe it’s time to say the hell with it all and go after big Dusty or Manny . One way or another Fred Blassie will make waves by the time 2022 ends .
Elizabeth: Fred Blassie, thank you . When we come back , the new North American Cruiserweight Champion Eddie Guerrero is in action .
Break
Eddie Guerrero vs Austin Theory : The young man has it rough and continues to do so , in this nontitle match . He does get some offense in . He gets off a Torture Tack Bomb , Eddie is in the ropes . Eddie slides out and gets off a springboard DDT . The 3 Amigos and then the Frog Splash.
Sam : The controversial champion picks up a win this week , we will be back with the X Division Champion.
Break
X Division Champion MJF ( Nontitle) vs Ultimo Dragon: Dragon holds his own . He hits a Asi Moonsault on the outside . He goes to roll MJF back in , but MJF kicks him in the nuts and then gets off a DDT on the floor . He rolls Dragon back in and hits the Heat Seeker . He covers and gets 3 . MJF takes the house mic .
MJF : It doesn’t surprise . Everywhere I go , nobody is on my level . I am the longest reigning World Champion in IWA . I’ve beaten everyone they put in front of me . I thought BTW would be different. I mean come on , Hollywood, Vegas and all you have this ? I got to be here next week too . What , am I going to get the Blue Demon . All of you can kiss my ass . I’m not coming back here .
The fans explode as Jungle Jack Perry comes out .
MJF : This guy , the kid who is famous for having a dead tv dad ?
Jack : First , don’t talk about my Dad . You were probably wishing you could be him when spoiled brats like you watched 90210 . I think we both know , what I’ve accomplished . You are a great champion , Maxwell . I’ll give you that , but you have never really been tested . Who have you beat ?
I’ll tell you who . A bunch of guys who aren’t even on rosters anymore . Hell , most if challengers came from a defunct company that could barely keep its head above water . I was a world champion and the guy that beat me legit kicked my ass for two months . You haven’t had that .
So let’s do this . Next week , you and me one on one for the X Division World Title. I don’t think you have what it takes . Test yourself . Keep the Pinacle at home . Can you beat me ?
MJF : Kid , your out of league . You can’t last ten minutes with me . You know it and I know it .
Jack : Are you willing to put that to a test ?
MJF : With you , hahaha . Sure .
Jack : 10 minutes . If you beat me inside that next week , I’ll never try for another world title shot anywhere , I’ll stick to regional championships , in which there is no shame in that . I last the ten minutes , well , I get a title shot at the X Division Title. Are we on ?
MJF : You got some big ones Jungle Boy , I’ll give you that . See you next week .
Sam : We have an accepted challenge . That will be a good one next week . When we come back , Sgt . Slaughter and Jim Duggan taking on the Almighty . Loser leaves town .

(Slaughter Cannon ) He covers 1….2….3 !!!
The Almighty must leave BTW .
Post match Sarge and Duggan celebrate . Blassie comes down to ringside with his arms folded . Sarge clotheslines Duggan I’m the back of the head and puts on the Cobra Clutch !!! Duggan is out . Blassie says something to Slaughter and he lets go . The two men walk out of the arena .
