We go live to a shot of the crowd at Bethnal Green as RPW is live in Greater London at York Hall .... ARE YOU READY FOR A REVOLUTION!!!!
INTRODUCTION
Chapter 3 begins with a solid recap of chapter 2's 'Round Robin Challenge' between Marty Scurll, Adrian Neville, and Zack Sabre Jr. .... after all the dust had settled each man was left with a victory and nothing was settled .... there were several more RPW debuts including Jay Lethal, Drew McIntyre, Johnny Gargano & Tomasso Ciampa, and Paul Burchill ....
PROMO - Eli Drake is in the backstage area and he talks to Fit Finlay about tonight .... he's arguing that Jay Lethal isn't high profile enough for him to make his debut against .... Lethal disagrees .... they almost come to blows backstage but Finlay stops them .... he says the match will happen, and it will involve a unique opportunity that he will announce later in the show ....
Renee Young is at the announce desk to kick off Chapter 3 .... we just found out that we will see Jay Lethal and Eli Drake in the main event, but GM Fit Finlay also tweeted out earlier today that tonight the entire roster will have a chance at a 'once in a lifetime' opportunity to represent RPW at UWF GLORY on Thanksgiving night .... we go straight to the ring for our first match ....
*RPW has a 'Code of Honor' similar to RING OF HONOR where opponents show respect with a handshake to begin the match .... sportsmanship is encouraged in all matches .... outside the ring has 20 count to get back in the ring instead of the standard 10 seconds*Opening Match:
Dalton Castle w/ his 'boys'
- vs -
Ted Dibiase Jr w/ Cody Hall Castle lost to Dibiase on Chapter 1 thanks to Halls interference .... he gets a measure of revenge here, as Halls interference backfires this time leading to Castle hitting the 'Bangarang' for the 3 count ....
IN-RING SEGMENTFit Finlay comes out and announces tonight's Battle Royal .... the winner will get a spot in the inter-promotional battle royal at UWF Glory ....
Jimmy Havoc comes out of the crowd and confronts Finlay, asking for another chance to be on the roster .... Finlay calls him a hack and says that just because his hack fans keep tweeting him doesn't earn him a spot on the roster .... Havoc says he's a fighter, and he just wants to fight .... Finlay says no .... Havoc says he thought Finlay was the man that loved to fight, and Finlay says Havoc is crazy .... Havoc says you have no idea .... Finlay says no again, and Havoc says Finlay cut off his balls when he put that suit on and he gave up the fight .... Finlay gets mad and has Havoc thrown out by security .... Havoc is drug away yelling for Finlay to 'let him fight' ....
Singles Match:
Zack Sabre Jr (UK)
- vs -
'Premier Athlete' Tony Nese (USA)Sabre Jr is really over with the crowd .... they are chanting 'Oooooo Zack Sabre Jr' along to the beat of 7 nation army by the White Stripes .... the action is back and forth, and Nese shows he can wrestle the technical style as well as high fly .... his power gives him the advantage over Sabre Jr for a portion of the match, but Sabre Jr manages to trap him in the cross-arm breaker for the submission win ....
IN-RING SEGMENTFit Finlay is back out after being 'rudely' interrupted by Jimmy Havoc in the previous segment .... Finlay announces that RPW will crown its first champion, the 'Fighting Spirit' champion, in a 16 man tournament called the 'BATTLE OF BRITAIN' .... here are the fighting spirit rules:
- Three 3 minute rounds, with title matches going to 5 minute rounds
- 10 point must system
- Judging categories: Physicality, aggressiveness, controlling the action
- Wins can happen anytime via pin or submission
- If there is no winner after three rounds, a winner is decided by judge's decisionMarty Scurll comes out to interrupt .... he is pissed because nothing was settled in the Round Robin Challenge last week but everyone hoisted Zack Sabre Jr and Adrian Neville on their shoulders like they were heroes .... that's fine, because without him they would be nothing .... there are no heroes without villains and he is the one true villain of professional wrestling .... he challenges Neville to a one on one match .... Finlay books that match for next week, and says it will be a preview of the Battle of Britain as it will be the first match contested under 'fighting spirit' rules ....
+++++++++++++++++++
Before the next match, brand new Knockout champion Sasha Banks comes out to the ring .... she cuts a promo about being the champion that is going to lead the RPW women's division into the future .... Hikaru Shida comes out to a big pop from the fans .... Shida doesn't say anything, she just stares down Banks and then stares long and hard at the Knockout title .... Allysin Kay comes out and she gives zero fucks and says straight up that Banks has something she wants and she's going to get it ....
Womens Showcase Match:
Hikaru Shida (JAPAN)
- vs -
Allysin Kay (USA) Banks is on commentary for this one .... These 2 work a very stiff match, with Kay using her power advantage but Shida using her superior striking .... after a few minutes these 2 end up in the middle of the ring trading stiff strikes with Shida coming out on top .... Shida with a roundhouse but Kay NO SELLS it and turns Shida inside out with the POUNCE! .... Kay goes for the AK-47 but Shida catches her with a spinning backfist that literally knocks out one of Kay's teeth!!!! Kay is bleeding badly from the mouth, but she reverses a triangle choke attempt into a buckle bomb! Shida stuns Kay with a superkick, then goes for a falcon Arrow but Kay gets out by thumbing Shida in the eye! Shida is blinded, allowing Kay to connect with the discus lariat and score the 3 count!
The announcers put this over as a HUGE win for Kay .... she goes over and stares down Banks, who holds the title up and says she's the champ to stay .... meanwhile, Banks is blindsided by former champion Alexa Bliss, who comes out of the crowd! Bliss pummels the champ, slamming her head over and over again into the announce table .... Bliss walks off, smiling evilly at her handiwork ....
+++++++++++++++++++++
Before the next match, Tye Dillinger comes out to a pretty decent pop .... pockets of fans in the audience are giving the '10' hand gestures .... he says that his debut on Chapter 2 didn't go like it was supposed to .... it was supposed to be a 'perfect 10' .... he looks at Itami and Bram and says they are maybe a '4' at best while Dillinger is wrestlings only 'perfect 10' .... he demands to be put in the match and we have a 3 way dance ....
3 way dance:
Hideo Itami (JAPAN)
- vs -
Tye Dillinger (USA)
- vs -
Bram (UK)The action is fast-paced with lots of false finishes to start .... Itami scores with the busaiku flying knee on Bram to eliminate him from the match first .... it is down to Itami and Dillinger, but Bram comes back and attacks Itami! Itami gets a beatdown and is left laying, which is all the opening Dillinger needs .... he drills Itami with the 'Tye Breaker' (fireman carry single knee facebuster) for the 3 count ....
Match 3: singles match
Eli Drake (USA)
- vs -
Jay Lethal (USA) Finlay comes out before the match and says he promised the winner a 'unique opportunity' .... he says the winner will receive the 2nd RPW spot in the interpromotional battle royal at UWF Glory .... Drake backs up all his talk lately with a great performance in this match, but Lethal is as good as advertised .... Drake survives the 'Hail to the King' elbow and the Lethal Combination and comes back to hit the 'Gravy Train' (air raid crash) for a close 2 .... Drake tries for Blunt Force Trauma but Lethal blocks it with a superkick, then hits the Lethal Injection for the 3 count to earn the spot in the battle royal at GLORY ....

Hideo Itami eliminates BRAM, but then Bram helps Paul Burchill turn around and eliminate ITAMI .... Neville eliminates SABRE JR, and McIntyre eliminates BURCHILL .... the final four in the match are Neville, McIntyre, Castle and Scurll .... the crowd is heavily behind Castle .... Scurll and Neville are so concerned with each other that Neville is eliminated by McIntyre and Scurll is dumped by Castle .... it comes down to Castle and McIntyre and the action goes back and forth for a few more minutes .... Castle appears to toss McIntyre but only one foot touches the ground and he is able to slide back in .... McIntyre hits the claymore kick on Castle, making him easy prey for a clothesline that takes him over the top rope to the floor .... Drew McIntyre claims the final spot in the GLORY battle royal ....
McIntyre celebrates as the show ends ....
