On tonight's show we will see the Finals of the Heart of Shimmer tournament between Toni Storm and Kelly Klein .... at Chapter 10, Zack Sabre Jr won 'High Stakes 2017' and is next in line to face Marty Scurll for the Fighting Spirit title .... but tonight Sabre Jr will face UWF Junior Heavyweight champion Finn Balor in our main event!Show begins with a surprise appearance by Drew McIntyre .... McIntyre comes out and sits in the middle of the ring and stages a sit-in to protest how the referees in RPW are biased against him .... he says he was screwed numerous times by RPW officials against Jay Lethal twice and against Tommy End .... This brings out RPW manager Fit Finlay and he informs McIntyre that he has been suspended without pay for striking an official ....
After McIntyre is escorted out, Finlay brings a briefcase into the ring and introduces the tag team 'shields' (tag titles) .... He deems tonight 'Tag Wars' and says every single tag team in RPW will be in action as we prepare to crown the 1st RPW tag team champions in the coming months ....
*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*Tag Team match:
The Authors of Pain (Akam & Rezar) w/ Truth Martini (UNKNOWN)
- vs -
Hideo Itami & Hirooki Goto (JAPAN)Itami and Goto put up more of a fight than any team has against the Authors so far .... but the Authors get the win to continue rolling on .... Goto gets taken out which leads to them hitting their 'Last Chapter' finisher on Itami for the 3 count ....
Tye Dillinger promo .... he challenges Jimmy Havoc to a death match at Chapter 12At Chapter 13, Tye Dillinger will face Jimmy Havoc in a death match .... Dillinger cuts a promo on Jimmy Havoc .... Dillinger claims he can be just as crazy as Havoc can, and he wants to see how crazy he can get .... he wants to step inside the mind of a mad man .... he challenges Havoc to a deathmatch at Chapter 12 ....Pete Dunne comes out along with Trent Seven and Tyler Bate .... Dunne says RPW wants you to believe their style of strong style originated in London, but it was born in the Black Country and isn't the watered down version Finlay tries to pass on to the fans .... they have made a decision to come together because the 3 of them represent what British strong style is really about .... they got their foot in the door here after wrestling in bars and underground fights .... and now they hold the whole world in their hands because they are the future of wrestling in the U.K. .... they are together to compete on the highest level, and they are about to shake up everything you think you know about RPW ....

Premier Athlete Brand (Tony Nese & Cedric Alexander) w/ Laurel Van Ness (USA) In a battle of 2 up-and-coming teams, The Premier Athlete Brand get the win by dubious means when Van Ness distracts Seven leading to a rollup by Nese and he uses a handful of tights to get the pin ....
The Brand escapes, but British Strong Style is pissed about how this one went down ....
Marty Scurll promo .... he comments on Zack Sabre Jr winning High Stakes .... Scurll says people call him the Villain for a reason .... he's wicked, abs he will do whatever it takes to win .... he and ZSJ have a history that he won't go into now because it doesn't matter .... but this is about business .... and if that means snapping ZSJ's skinny little arm then that's what he will do .... if it means kicking his pretty face in, that's what he will do .... if it means cheating to win that's what he will do .... because he's the villain, and he is YOUR Fighting Spirit champion .... and it will always be so .... long live the Villain ....Heart of Shimmer tournament finals:
'The Gatekeeper' Kelly Klein (USA)

Klein scores with a spinning back fist, but Storm escapes the burning hammer attempt and hits a backstabber .... Storm hits 2 more backstabbers and finally puts Klein away with a top rope leg drop to win the match and the Heart of Shimmer tournament ....
Tag Team match:
Decay (Abyss & Crazzie Steve) w/ Rosemary (UNKNOWN)
- vs -
The Project (Tomasso Ciampa & Johnny Gargano) --- (USA)This match is made a no disqualification match at the beginning because these two teams hate each other .... after a very intense fight, The Project get their revenge on Decay after Gargano pins Crazzie Steve following their finisher, the D.I.Y (running knee strike by Ciampa + Superkick by Gargano to an opponent on their knees) ....
Promo from ELI DRAKE .... LET ME TALK TO YA! Drake says he will face Adrian Neville at Chapter 12 .... Drake asks why he has to face Neville, seeing as E ... LI ... DRAKE is trending up and Nevilles career is in the toilet .... What dummy came up with that idea? Dummy! Yeah! The fact of the matter is that Adrian Neville is not on his level, but if RPW is gonna put Adrian Neville in front of E ... LI ... drake then he's going to steamroll through him like a hot knife through butter and that's not an insult, THAT is just a fact of life!Knockout Women's title match:

UWF Junior Heavyweight title match:

Zack Sabre Jr (UK)Balor comes out in bodypaint, this time dressed like the Joker from The Dark Knight .... Balor runs through ZSJ at first, but Sabre cuts him off by going after his left arm .... Balor fights back but ZSJ hits the Penalty Kick for a near fall .... Balor takes ZSJ outside and sits him in a chair and then hits a brutal running dropkick .... ZSJ barely beats the count back in, but Balor hits a double stomp to the back! 1619 (lifting reverse ddt)! 2 count! ZSJ comes back with a half-nelson suplex and another Penalty Kick! He locks on the armbar! Balor rolls through again and again until he makes it to the ropes, and ZSJ walks right into a vicious lariat from his good arm! Balor with the shotgun dropkick sends ZSJ back into the turnbuckle, then he goes up top .... Coup De Grace! ZSJ kicks out at 1!!!! Balor with the slingblade puts ZSJ down again, then he grabs him and hits the Bloody Sunday! This time he is able to hold him down for the 3 count!
Balor helps Sabre Jr up and offers a handshake .... the two embrace, much to the delight of the fans, as the show ends ....
