* * * * * PROLOGUE * * * * *
Here come the Guerrillas of Destiny to interrupt …. Heyman is all alone! Tama intimidates Heyman and asks him if he thinks they owe Reigns a debt? Their father bent the knee to Roman Reigns after Tribal Combat, but the Guerrillas don’t give a shit about that because they are war dogs now …. Fuck Tribal warfare because it’s Guerrilla Warfare now …. Tama asks Heyman where the USOs are because they have something that belongs to them …. Heyman begs off and says he’s just a special council and not a combatant …. Tama grabs him by the tie and says deliver the message or he is going to turn him into a combatant the next time he sees him …. Tama let’s go of Heyman and walks off, and Heyman pulls out his cell phone and tells Siri to call Roman Reigns ….
*** LATER ON THAT NIGHT ***
Paul Heyman is in the parking deck and he’s on the phone with UWF champion Roman Reigns …. Heyman is mid-sentence and saying that he knows how dangerous the Tongans are! They just showed everyone when they took out there own father! Heyman says he felt like his life was literally in danger being in the ring with them …. Reigns’ voice is on the other side and he says they continue to be a problem and he’s tired of them …. Reigns says the USOs will handle the Tongans next week ….
* * * * * END PROLOGUE * * * * *
* * * * * SHOW OPENING * * * * *
We are in New Jersey as MLW has come to the campus of Rutgers University at the JERSEY MIKE’s ARENA and the crowd is standing-room-only ….
MAURO RENALLO and PAT MCAFEE are your announcers, and they welcome the viewing audience and set up the show …. Mauro and Pat announce we are starting the show with the MLW tag team title match between the USOs and Guerrillas of Destiny! The Guerrillas music hits, but after several moments they don’t come out!
*** IN THE BACK ***
We cut to the back, where we see The USOs and Guerrillas in each others faces as an army of backstage personnel and trying to pull them apart …. Their attempt is unsuccessful as fists start flying and it breaks down into a fight backstage …. Their entrance music is still playing! …. The MLW personnel are trying to get in between them, but some of them even get taken out!
The fight spills out into the arena, as the agents and other front office people are following them and trying to break up the melee …. the USOs take out a couple of the agents with superkicks! Tonga Loa tosses an agent off the ramp and into the crowd! Tama and Jimmy spill into the crowd and brawl, while Jey and Loa brawl down toward the ring …. More agents come out and manage to pull the men off of each other, and Jey rolls away into the ring ….. JEY FLIES OVER THE TOP AND TAKES OUT THE WHOLE PILE ON THE FLOOR!!!! Now the locker room is emptying! Finally with the extra bodies they are able to get the USOs and the Guerrillas separated and order restored ….
*** IN THE BACK ***
We see Carmelo & Trick backstage watching the chaos on the monitor ….
Melo makes fun of the USOs and Guerrillas …. He says Trick might be onto something with this whole tag team thing, and when you catch lightning in a bottle you don’t wait …. They beat one of the best teams in MLW, the Briscoes …. Tricks says ‘ya boy looked like a star last week’; He whooped that Trick and Melo didn’t miss …. They are like Shaq & Kobe, or Jordan & Pippen …. The world is theirs for the taking, so maybe just maybe they set their sights on the tag titles …. Back to the ring, and we get the arrival of the Bomaye Fight Club led by Drew Gulak …. Kurt Angle has something to say and he’s tired of this idea that Kenny Olega is some great wrestler …. Why? Because he’s an acrobat that can do some fancy flips? Because he’s a ‘performer’? That doesn’t put him in the same class of athlete as Kurt Angle! Angle is a real athlete, Omega just plays one on TV and he needs to stay out of HIS ring …. Angle won an Olympic gold medal while Omega was worried about self-teaching himself in someone’s backyard and method acting ….
Gulak says Kenny Omega wanted to play games, but the greatest wrestler in the world showed him just how insignificant he and his little posse of trampoline cowboys really are …. Bomaye are the real ‘Elite’ athletes …. With Gulak as the promoter, these other greedy promoters and advocates will no longer control all the fighters in the fight game! Now, if you will excuse them, they are on their way to Toronto to sign a new fighter ….
They are interrupted by the Young Bucks …. Kenny isn’t here this week thanks to Angle …. They want to fight Boma Ye …. The Creeds are ready to fight them, but Angle cuts them off …. He will handle this himself, and he challenges the Bucks to decide amongst themselves which one of them is gonna step in the ring and get stretched by the wrestling machine …. Nick Jackson accepts ….
<center><p style="border:3px;border-style:solid;border-color:#FF0000;padding:1em;">
KURT ANGLE w/ Bomaye Fight Club
-vs-
NICK JACKSON w/ Matt JacksonNick’s speed frustrates Angle at the beginning, but Angle stops him in his tracks with a belly to belly suplex …. Angle hits a rib breaker and attacks the ribs & back but Nick rallies with a couple of superkicks! He wipes Angle out with a moonsault to the floor, but he goes for another superkick and Angle catches it then violently whips his foot into the ring steps! Angle stomps on the ankle, but Nick reverses an Angle Slam into a tornado DDT! He tries for another superkick but hurts himself, then Angle rebounds with a vicious lariat that makes Jackson do a flip bump …. Both men are down for a minute but Nick fires up with a desperation cutter, then hits the BTE Trigger to the back of the head! Nick is selling the ankle, and Angle is able to kick out of the pin relatively easily … Nick goes to the top, but Angle pops up and runs up the ropes in one swift move! ANGLE SLAM OFF THE TOP! Down come the straps! Angle looks into the camera and says ‘OMEGA! This is for you!’ Angle locks on the Ankle Lock for the immediate tap out …. </p></center>
POST MATCH: Angle refuses to release the Ankle Lock, which brings in Matt Jackson but he is taken out by the Creeds! Here comes Hangman Page to make the save! Page fights off the Creeds, and Angle releases the Ankle Lock and comes face to face with Page! BIG staredown between the two and Page tells Angle to fight him, but Angle just laughs and rolls out of the ring …. Page checks on the Young Bucks as Bomaye leave ….
*** VIGNETTE ***
We get another vignette for Swerve Strickland …. What does Swerve mean? It means a lot of different things to different people …. What it means to Shane Strickland is confidence …. It means power …. Whether it’s in the ring or in the studio, swerve is about performing, it’s about being at the top …. Everywhere he goes, he just has one question …. Whose house? The answer is simple …. It doesn’t matter where they are, it’s always Swerves house! Swerve is the realist …. And swerve is coming to MLW FIGHTLAND ….
<center><p style="border:3px;border-style:solid;border-color:#FF0000;padding:1em;">
MIA YIM
-vs-
NAOMIThis one starts out pretty athletic as we get some trading wrist locks with both women cartwheeling out …. More chain wrestling and then a stand-off, but Mia attacks with leg kicks …. Naomi’s mobility is limited, but she fights back with a disaster kick for 2 …. Mia blocks a huricanrana attempt into a sit out powerbomb for 2, then hits the corner cannonball …. Naomi fights back with the Rear View, but Yim escapes the Benadryller and hits Sole Food (Eat Defeat) to score the win ….</p></center>
POST MATCH: Yim offers a handshake to Naomi, who looks at it for a long moment but rolls to the floor and leaves ….
The music of the UWF world champion hits and out comes Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman …. Reigns surveys his kingdom before holding his hand out for a mic, which Heyman hands to him ….
REIGNS - “New Jersey …. ACKNOWLEDGE ME!’Audible “Roman” chants from the crowd ….
REIGNS - “Now, I was gonna come out here and shine on ya, talk to you about my epic performance in Tribal Combat, or talk about how I smashed MJF at the Hippo. But your High Chief doesn’t have to do that, because I ALWAYS put on epic performances! That’s why the UWF needs me, that’s why the UWF invests in me, and that’s why I move the needle around here. Now, as you can see, I’ve had a lot on my plate lately. I’ve been all over the world, and, in my absence, certain … people … have used that as the chance to run their mouth around here. About how somehow they are the one carrying this company now, and how they are elevating themselves to be on the level of the High Chief.”
“But, as your One True Chief, I only deal in the facts. And the fact is, if anyone … ANYONE … other than ME comes out here and claims to be the face of this company, they’re lying! If anyone claims to be the main event that isn’t me, they’re lying! And definitely if anyone claims to carry this company and the entire UWF on their back that isn’t me, they’re lying.”Reigns gets face to face with the camera ….
REIGNS - “Will Ospreay … YOU’RE LYING! You carry a SECONDARY title, a title that is insignificant to me because it is beneath me. Will Ospreay, YOU are beneath me and you always will be. I’m the WORLD champion, you understand what that means? It means that I don’t just elevate titles, I ELEVATE ENTIRE COMPANIES! So do yourself a favor and go back to having your acrobatic exhibitions with the rest of these vanilla midgets and acknowledge your High Chief because it’s because of ME you get to cash those big checks every week! I don’t waste words hyping myself up. That’s why I have the Wise Man. That’s his job. No, when I talk everything I say has substance; it means something. So when I say someone like Will Ospreay isn’t on my level, you know it’s the truth. When I say someone like ICEMAN PARSONS isn’t on my level, you know it’s the truth. And RAVEN? Well ….”Before Reigns can say anything about his opponent at Glory, he is cut off as THE LIGHTS GO OUT! A video plays on the big screen ….
*** ON THE SCREEN ***
We get another one of these creepy vignettes that seem to be heralding the end of the world …. We see some clocks with spinning hands intercut with scenes of destruction and catastrophic events .... then an image of the Doomsday Clock flashes ….
Then we cut to a helicopter night shot of the Las Vegas strip …. We go inside some hole in the wall dive bar where we see a man seated at the bar …. His back is to the camera …. He is carving something in the bar top with a knife, and the camera zooms in to see the carving of an hourglass …. <center><p style="border:3px;border-style:solid;border-color:#FF0000;padding:1em;">
SHINE Tag Team Titles:
(Champions) SASHA BANKS & BAYLEY
-vs-
TOXIC ATTRACTION (Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne) w/ Mandy RoseMandy Rose gets involved and KO’s Sasha with the Diamonds title, but Bayley breaks up the pin just before the 3 count with a top rope elbow …. The action breaks down, and we get a ref bump as once again Mandy tries to get involved but Bayley catches her with a Bayley to Belly! Sasha picks up the Diamonds title and hits Jayne with it, but the ref has recovered and sees it and disqualifies the champs ….</p></center>
*** IN THE BACK ***
Kenny Omega is ruled out of tonight’s fatal 4 way #1 contenders match ….
<center><p style="border:3px;border-style:solid;border-color:#FF0000;padding:1em;">
THE BRISCOES (Jay & Mark)
-vs-
LOS LOTHARIOS (Humberto Carrillo & Angel Garza)Solid action back and forth to start us out …. Lotharios get the heat on Mark, but he quickly turns the tide and hot tags Jay for the cleaning of the house …. Hangman neckbreaker to Garza but Carrillo breaks up the pin, but Mark takes him out with a cactus clothesline and then the running elbow drop off the apron …. In the ring, Jay with a huge lariat and the Jay Driller, but instead of covering he puts Garza on his shoulders and they hit the springboard doomsday device to put Garza away …. </p></center>
It’s time for the main event, and Mauro and Pat speculate that the match has turned into a triple threat because Kenny Omega is unable to compete …. However, as all the other participants are in the ring, the music of the final competitor hits!
‘ELEVATED’ by It Lives, It Breathes and out comes WILL OSPREAY! The Openweight Champion is going to be the 4th man!!!!
<center><p style="border:3px;border-style:solid;border-color:#FF0000;padding:1em;">
Fatal 4 way for a shot at the MLW Title:
ILJA DRAGUNOV
-vs-
MALAKAI BLACK
-vs-
‘Hangman’ ADAM PAGE
-vs-
WILL OSPREAYThe bell rings and all 4 guys turn it into a slugfest …. Adam Page clotheslines Dragunov over the top rope, but runs into a bicycle knee from Black …. Black with the triangle moonsault onto Dragunov, but then Page hits the Urihara moonsault onto Black AND Dragunov …. Not to be outdone, Ospreay hits the Sasuke Special wiping out ALL of them!
The go home stretch is full of false finishes as it looks like each one has the match won at one point or another …. Ospreay hits the Os-cutter on Black, but Page takes him out with a pop up powerbomb …. Now Page and Dragunov trade blows in the center but Page fires up and takes him out with the Dead Eye! Page is standing tall, and he goes to the apron and sizes up Black for the Buckshot Lariat but Kurt Angle is here! Angle is pissed about what happened earlier and he pulls Page off the apron and tosses him into the ring steps! Black is up, and he uses his foot to raise Ospreay up for the Black Mass but Dragunov out of nowhere wirh Torpedo Moscow to Black! Ospreay takes advantage, immediately striking with the Hidden Blade to Dragunov! Ospreay hoists Dragunov up and drills him with the Stormbreaker! 1 … 2 … 3!!!!!</p></center>
Ospreay celebrates to end the show, while in the locker room we see Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman are watching on the monitor and Reigns is PISSED!
