LIVE! from the Cow Palace - Daly City, California
🎧🎵 WE RISE..... NEVER BACKING DOWN FROM A FIGHT 🎵🎧
"Rise" by Something Clever blasts in the arena as the show starts off with video footage detailing historic events that have taken place on Future Stars, From past champions like Jason Hunter, Dixie Dubois, Amis Shelton, Magdalena Lockheart; Otaki all standing underneath the old FSW logo... As pyro goes off the new logo crushes the old and the image of Otaki is replaced with that of Robina Hood before switching to new stars like Smokey Jones, Mark McNair, Hobo, Iggy Swango, Bob, Marquee and Draco Lazarus; now with the additions of Faith Rivers and Kaden Kessler to more established stars like James Larson, Criss Cassidy, Matt Angel, Lexie Glass, Sebastian Conner and Stephan Kingston...There are highlights from past shows ending with the victory earning Xavier Reid the prized FSW Championship. The end of the footage is that of Xavier Reid punching the screen, shattering it.
Jackson: Welcome to another episode of FSW UPRSING. I am Tom Jackson alongside me are Ruthann Hunter and Todd Calloway. And what another eventful show we have for you tonight. We have not only the Indy Champion here tonight, but we also have a match between two men that will also meet again later this month at Night of Champions. And what a history Ace King and Xavier share.
Hunter: Both men are here tonight to gain early momentum.
Jackson: Another episode with so much potential, you never know what's going to happen next.
Calloway: Unless your Xavier Reid, then you clearly know you're going to lose tonight. The you know what's going to happen next.
Hunter: Reid has been a fighting champion and nobody can take that from him not even you.
Calloway: Unless your Xavier Reid, then you clearly know you're going to lose tonight. The you know what's going to happen next.
Hunter: Reid has been a fighting champion and nobody can take that from him not even you.
The fans in Cow Palace are going crazy as they holler and cheer, various chants break out while the opening of the show continues.
WE WANT CANDY!
#1 REASON... WE'RE BETTER THAN YOU!!
UPRISING/FSW!
The lights slowly come back to full as the large video screen lowers from it's rafter home. The announcers are on standby and ready as the crowd begins to quiet.
The lights inside the Cow Palace go out as the jumbo screen flickers and comes to life, the fans come to their feet.
Brandon Carter Banks: Daly City, you are something special. You deserve nothing but the best, and after all... that is exactly what you'll get.
CHEERS ERUPT!
Brandon Carter Banks: I said from day one that I was going to shake things up and make things happen that you wouldn't expect here in FSW. I came in and have done just that. I was able to make a deal to showcase four FSW superstars on Brawl, one of which was again invited to Brawl last night to compete.
Brandon Carter Banks: I made a deal to bring in new blood with the likes of Kaden Kessler and we have seen an influx of interest in our brand. Believe me you, I have been in negotiations to bring even more. Then let's see, what else. Oh yeah. I find it funny that the former Undisputed champion, Luke Wolfe's last stand as champion was being ejected from the building here on Uprising by yours truly. And while that may not be a favorable move, I did so in the interest of FSW.
Brandon Carter Banks: We have been the beacon of EWC, shining as a home to new stars. New stars that their talents have peaked the curiosity of the other brands. This evening will be no different as the EWC's INDY Champion, Candy will be here competing, and then after a persuasive phone call, I also secured US Champion, Ace King to compete.
MIXED REACTIONS FROM THE CROWD
Brandon Carter Banks: Given all the changes in the EWC's hierarchy, we have proven that we are not the little start-up brand we were not too long ago. We have now shown that our bright and upcoming roster can stand their own against seasoned veterans without wincing. But, I have a drive in me to be the best.... to make us the best. I have started to build a reputation in our business that has other promotions talking. We have a roster of individuals that deserve to be second best to NO ONE and I will go through any lengths to make sure our brand continues to be the standard setter. With that being said, our brand HAS to come first. That's why I made the decision to hold an EXLCUSIVE FSW pay-per-view two weeks before the season finale of Uprising in November.
Brandon Carter Banks: That's right, a pay per view that will be exclusive to the talented members of our roster, to be shared with no one. Bonds and friendships will be tested, the lines between the weak and strong will be drawn and the FSW Faultlines will begin to show. Consider it my version of the Hunger Games....
Brandon Carter Banks points to the banners that have been dropped around the Cow Palace as "Hustler" begins to play.
He cracks a sinister smirk as we cut to commercial.

Kickoff Match
James Larson v. The Mercenary v.
Leigh Matthews
Leigh Matthews
DING DING DING
Another episode gone by and this episode starts with a triple threat with members of the FSW roster who have been here for a minute, a couple of matches and now a debut. The match starts off with The Mercenary and James Larson staring each other down. The Mercenary has had a rough start here in the FSW and it shows in his body language. A debuting Leigh Matthews takes advantage of the situation and bounces of the ropes and jumping nailing both men with a flying cross body. He quickly tries to capitalize on the man who has the been the downfall to many new talent's downfall, James Larson. As the two of them exchange blows, The Mercenary is back up and grabs Leigh and pulls him hard by the head to the mat. He then grabs and whips Larson towards the ropes and attempts a big boot. Larson ducks and retaliates with a forearm which doesn't move Mike.
The three men continue a series of tit for tats and at any given point, one of them in lat on the mat.
It is The Mercenary with an early pin attempt on James.
1
Kickout
Leigh Matthews breaks up the pin and starts assaulting Mercenary. The two of them go back and fourth with blows and The Mercenary gets the upper hand and attempts powerbomb. Matthews counters and flips him over the ropes and to the outside. Larson is back up and unleashes on Leigh who returns jabs as they are received. James attempts his Chainbreaker but Leigh is able to escape the attempt and as quick as he gets out is as quick as he hits Larson with Fantastic Wound. He hooks the leg and the count is made right before The Mercenary can make it into the ring to break it up.

Stan Gordan: And here's your winner, Leigh Matthews!
Stan Gordan: And here's your winner, Leigh Matthews!
The camera cuts to the locker room area, Nikki Dupree is sitting on a couch apparently alone and on her phone…
Nikki Dupree: Are you sure? You are positive? It’s him…
There is a long pause and Nikki’s face is one of shock but she quickly regroups
Nikki Dupree: Ok, I’m on my way...stay put and watch him...I’ll be in touch when I land…
Nikki pops up just as Xavier Reid and his cousin Tlatoani Volando walk into the locker room.
Tlatoani Volando: All I am saying Xavier is maybe you should take more risks out there tonight, go all or nothing and see what happens...best case you catch him and you win…
Xavier Reid: And worst case I come up empty and I do all Ace’s work for him and hand him the win…
Tlatoani Volando: I’m not saying there isn’t a risk in taking a risk...El Pablo said it better...hold on, he said…
Xavier Reid: I don’t care what El Pablo said...I’m not going to do something stupid out there, I know I can beat Ace King…
Nikki starts to cough and lays back down on the couch, getting the attention of the FSW Champion…
Xavier Reid: What is wrong with you?
Nikki Dupree: I’m not feeling so well?
Tlatoani Volando: You were fine just 10 mins ago...when you walked in here to take a phone call…
Nikki Dupree: I came in here because I couldn’t hear myself think with you rambling on about how Xavier should start the match off with a rolling ax kick and how Ace will ‘never see it coming’...
Tlatoani Volando: I’m telling you he will never expect it Xavier…
Nikki Dupree: I haven’t been feeling well all day, I think I caught something on the plane ride…
Tlatoani jumps back away from Nikki and then pulls Xavier back towards him…
Tlatoani Volando: GET AWAY!!!! In fact get out, you know Night of Champions is 17 days away and Xavier can’t catch whatever funk you picked up…
Xavier Reid: Tlatoani does make a good point Nikki, maybe it’s best you just stay here for the rest of the night and then head back to your hotel…
Nikki Dupree: Or maybe it’s best I just head back now...I don’t want to risk things…
Xavier Reid: You’re not going to stay and watch…
But before she can answer there is a knock on the door and Lisa Goldrush pops here head into the room…
Lisa Goldrush: Xavier…
Xavier Reid: Yeah...oh yeah come in...give me a second…
Xavier walks away from Tlatoani, who still won’t go near Nikki and Nikki who sits up and drops her head into her hands...Tlatoani pulls the front of his shirt over his face...covering his mouth and nose…
Lisa Goldrush: Xavier, tonight we get the rematch for your amazing match a few weeks ago on Rampage against the EWC United States Champion Ace King…
But off camera Tlatoani looks over at Nikki Dupree…
Tlatoani Volando: Have you been hooking up with the janitor?
Nikki Dupree: Excuse me?
Tlatoani Volando: That dirty janitor that looked and winked at you when we got here...he’s been hacking up a lung…
Nikki Dupree: That’s because he smokes a carton a day…
Back on camera….
Xavier Reid: But this isn’t going to be like Amsterdam because there will be no second or third fall to save your ass Ace, see Michael Saint made that match 2 out of 3 falls because he fear exactly what happened...that I would come out there and catch you…
Tlatoani Volando: I mean you shouldn’t be ashamed about hooking up with the janitor Nikki...for someone like you that’ a catch…
Nikki Dupree: I’m not hooking up with the damn janitor you moron...and if memory serves me you asked me out about 3 seconds after I joined this team...and I said NO…
Tlatoani Volando: That wasn’t me asking you out...did you think...Nikki come on...I was just trying to welcome you to the team…
Nikki Dupree: And the dick pic…
Tlatoani Volando: A joke...hazing...we do that to everyone that comes on board…
Xavier Reid: But Michael Saint isn’t here to save you...Brandon Carter Banks wants to give the FSW fans a preview of what’s to come at Night of Champions and that’s Ace King failing to get the job done…
Tlatoani Volando: It wasn’t even my dick…
Nikki Dupree: Oh yeah then who’s is it?
Tlatoani Volando: Sr. Espejo’s…
Nikki Dupree: Your uncle...you got your uncle to send me a dick pic?
Tlatoani Volando: No...he doesn’t even know we have it…
Nikki Dupree: Are you trying to tell me…
Tlatoani Volando: We got him drunk one night, me, Perdido and Abando and he passed out...so we did what anyone would do…
Nikki Dupree: You took a picture of his dick…
Tlatoani Volando: No...well yeah...but first we put glasses on it and made a little mustache...we sent that one to Kyle Gautier and then he went MIA...I think we scared him off...but then we just took normal picture and would send it to random people or numbers El Pablo left behind in the rolodex, we sent it to Steven Seagal, Kanye West, the CEO of Mars Inc…
Nikki Dupree: All dudes…
Tlatoani Volando: Yeah my sisters pointed that out also...so then we sent it to all their friends and then you…
Xavier Reid: Tonight I take on another EWC Champion here on Uprising and the outcome will be the same…
Nikki Dupree: And how long did it take before they pointed that out to you idiots…
Tlatoani Volando: Longer than I would like to admit...but that’s not important...what is important is you are trying to bail because you are hooking up with the janitor…
Nikki Dupree: I DIDN’T FUCK THE JANITOR!!!!
This outburst bring the interview to a stop…
Lisa Goldrush: Ok, well best of luck Xavier…
She leaves the room and Xavier looks at his cousin and Nikki…
Xavier Reid: Maybe you should head out Nikki...get some rest and feel better…
Xavier walks out of the room and Tlatoani looks down at Nikki….
Tlatoani Volando: Be honest...you just don’t want to see Ace beat Xavier again...damn...I should have acted like I hooked up with the janitor and faked being sick...genius Nikki...straight genius…
Tlatoani shakes his head and walks out of the room...making sure they are all gone Nikki grabs her phone and looks down at with a smile on her face...
Match 2
Stitches v. Matt Angel
DING DING DING
Stitches gets a warm welcome back to the Cow Palace in his first singles match in the FSW as does Matt Angel as he makes his way to the ring but as he slides into the ring Stitches sees his opening and doesn’t wait for the bell and jumps all over Matt Angel, driving his knee into his lower back and then goes right to work on Matt’s left knee and lower leg…
Tom Jackson: Stitches focusing on that knee and ankle and my god, the knee isn’t suppose to bend that way…
Ruthann Hunter: He is going to try and take away Matt Angel’s agility and speed…
Todd Calloway: Smart move by the former two time Indy Champion…
Stitches transitions from the left knee to the left ankle as he bends and torches on the joints as Matt Angel tries everything he can to get to the ropes but just as he seems inches away Stitches is able to grab the hand to arm and twist him back away from the ropes and back focusing on Matt’s lower leg but Matt is able to twist himself over and use his right foot to strike the face of Stitches, he drives his heel right into the face of Stitches three times and on the fourth time Stitches’ head snaps back and Matt is able to break free…
Tom Jackson: Matt Angel is known for his pinpoint accuracy striking and we saw it right there…
Ruthann Hunter: But how much damage was done to that leg?
Todd Callaway: We are about to find out…
Matt Angel goes on the offensive lighting up Stitches with a series of Muay Thai Kicks and then sending Stitches into the corner with a roundhouse kick to the face...Matt charges in after him a forearm smash and then grabs a hold of Stitches and sends him flying to the center of the ring with a overhead belly to belly suplex...Stitches slowly gets up to his feet and Matt Angel runs to the ropes and springboards off into a Tornado DDT...the fans jump to their feet as referee Matt Mercer slides into position as Matt Angel covers…but is only able to get a 2 count…
Tom Jackson: Matt Angel almost caught Stitches there…
Ruthann Hunter: Stitches needs to clear the cobwebs...
Todd Callaway: And right on cue he rolls out of the ring…
Stitches rolls out of the ring but Matt Angel isn’t going to let him rest as he bounced off the far ropes and jumps up onto the top rope and springboards off with a crossbody but Stitches sees it at the last second and dives out of the way and Matt Angel crashes to the floor and into the barrier ringside…
Tom Jackson: Matt Angel lives close to the edge and it cost him right there...
Ruthann Hunter: A self proclaimed extreme junkie but you can’t take those kinds of risk...
Todd Callaway: Give Stitches his props right there, he knew his surroundings and had Matt well scouted…
Stitches more violent side comes out with them being outside the rings and he bounces Matt off everything ringside, the post, the rail and then nails the Sound of Silence on the ring apron and draws a loud OHHHH from the fans ringside as Matt’s head hits with a loud thud. Stitches rolls Matt back into the ring and covers but Angel nearly gets his shoulder up as Matt Mercer’s hand just about hits the mat for the third time…
Tom Jackson: Stitches can’t believe it...
Ruthann Hunter: I can’t believe it...pure instinct by Matt Angel...
Todd Callaway: Matt Angel seems to still be on dream street…
Stitches starts to lose his patience a bit in disbelief that Matt kicked out and shoves Matt Mercer aside as pulls Matt up and sets him up for a powerbomb…
Stitches lifts Matt up and runs and slams him down with a sit-out powerbomb...Matt grabs his neck but Stitches shows no mercy as he stays focused on the neck as he begins to pull out all the stops and follows the powerbomb up with a Crimson Arrow and then locks Angel into The Carnival Pretzel...Matt tries to get to the ropes but can’t fight of the choke and is forced to tap out…
DING DING DING
Stan Gordan: And here's your winner, Stitches!
Tom Jackson: What an impressive victory here tonight for Stitches...
Ruthann Hunter: He is going to force Brandon Carter Banks to give him a real look here in FSW...
Todd Callaway: Could he be the first person to have held the Indy Championship and the FSW Championship?
Stitches rolls out of the ring and walks up the ramp with his arms raised in the air...

Match 3
Iggy Swango v. Elizabeth Chambers v.
Lexie Glass v. Faith Rivers
Lexie Glass v. Faith Rivers
DING DING DING
From the opening bell, Elizabeth Chambers seemed out of it. At one point early in the match, Glass nailed Chambers with the Glass Cutter and went for a cover. Rivers intervened, however, breaking up the pinfall. As Swango started battling with Glass in the corner, Rivers did a quick check on Chambers to make sure she wasn’t hurt and then went to help Swango in the corner. The two lifted Glass up onto the top turnbuckle and climbed up the corner themselves. After a thunderous double superplex by Swango and Rivers, the two fan-favorite blondes stood toe-to-toe in the middle of the ring.
A slugfest of sorts developed, with Rivers gaining the edge on Swango. Rivers tucked Swango’s head under her arm and walked to the corner, climbing up into a seated position on the top turnbuckle. She looked to deliver a tornado DDT, but Swango was able to push Rivers off and flat on her face before Rivers was able to execute the move.
As Chambers recovered from the Glass Cutter, she ran over to Lexie and delivered a dropkick, sending her to the outside. Trying to gain some momentum, Chambers took a run at Swango to try and take her head off with a clothesline. Swango ducked at the last second and Chambers took down Rivers instead, who had just gotten to her feet. Swango spun Chambers around and took her down with an Acrobatic Tenament. Swango then covered Chambers with no one to stop her from getting the three-count and the victory.
DING DING DING
Stan Gordon: HERE IS YOUR WINNER, Iggy Swannnnnngo!
Match 4
Maurice Yensman v. Steve Barnes
DING DING DING
A classic good guy meets bad guy match-up as these two polar opposites meet face to face. Maurice offers a gentlemanly handshake in which Steve goes to accept with Yensman quickly pulling away his hand and running it through his hair. He laughs saying he is only joking and re-extends his hand. Steve reluctantly reaches back and the two seem to be starting off on a good note.

BAM!
Out of nowhere Yensman headbutts Barnes and begins a savage stomping as Steve tries to roll away. Steve is back to his feet as the two hook up in the middle of the ring, Maurice swings Steve towards the ropes and hits him with a knee to the mid section sending Barnes flipping over. Yensman scoops him up and attempts the move again but Steve is able to block and grabs the leg of Yensman flipping him on to his back. Steve now gets the upper hand and begins delivering a series of mud stomps of his own. He tries for a pin but Yensman kicks out without any struggle.
After a blotched Round Rogers, Maurice keeps control of the match with a lightning quickness. The match isn't a long match but plays out slow as the fans express their disgust in Maurice Yensman who openly mocks Steve every chance he gets. He continues a cocky lead of the match and puts Barnes to rest with the Liberty Spear.
DING DING DING
Stan Gordon: And the winner via pinfall, Maurice Yensman!
After the match, Yensman offers a final handshake before retracting the offer with a smug attitude before exiting the ring.
Jackson: It’s been another crazy night in the Cow Palace for Uprising, as we just saw Maurice Yensman lay waste to Steve Barnes in a No Disqualification Match.
Calloway: It’s another electrifying display of talent from our Future Stars, but really, who can expect anything less now?
Hunter: We’re not even halfway through the show, so it’s only going to get better and more intense.
Jackson: Right you are, Ruthie, and on that point, I believe we have Lisa with a guest backstage, Lisa?
On cue, the feed cuts backstage, where Lisa Goldrush is standing in front of an FSW: Uprising backdrop.
Lisa Goldrush: Ladies and gentlemen, I’m pleased to be joined by one-half of tonight’s Main Event… The EWC United States Champion… ‘The Gambler,’ Ace King.
The Cow Palace is split as Ace appears on screen, the United States Championship draped over his shoulder; many cheer him, though a section of FSW’s faithful fans voice their displeasure.
Lisa Goldrush: Now, Ace, you’re set to take on the FSW Champion, Xavier Reid, in front of this passionate FSW home crowd tonight, so what’s your mindset going into the match?
Ace hears the split reaction loud and clear, and a wry smile crosses his face as he turns his attention to Lisa.
Ace King: You know, it’s a fun environment to be in. I’m no stranger to hostile territory, and I know I’m the outsider here tonight. Ultimately, it’s their passion for what we do that lets us do what we do, so with that in mind, all I can really do is stay focused on the task at hand, making sure I perform the best way I-
‘The Gambler’ freezes mid-sentence, and an amused look crosses his face; Lisa steps out of the shot, and the crowd roars as the camera pans out to show Sebastian Conner casually walking into the scene still tenderly nursing his knee. He has a pair of headphones blaring “Aces High” by Iron Maiden while carrying his phone in one hand and the Money In The Bank briefcase in the other. He has a smirk on his face as he looks at the United States Champion. With the push of a button on his phone the music immediately stops. He goes to speak but the crowd being so loud causes him to stop and embrace the warm welcome. Once the crowd settles, he begins.
Sebastian Conner: Well if it isn’t Rampage’s own, Ace King here in the flesh on my show.
Still amused, ‘The Gambler’ raises an eyebrow toward the recovering FSW Money in the Bank briefcase holder.
Ace King: What can I say? I go where I’m asked to go, plain and simple. Your boss asked me to be here tonight, so here I am.
Setting the briefcase to the ground, and putting his phone away. Sebastian looks like he is in a rather good mood despite having been out of action for over a month.
Sebastian Conner: Ah, you’re talking about Mr. Dealmaker. I could care less who the boss is, I have one voice that I Listen to and they are definitely letting me hear it tonight.
He pauses to let the Daly City crowd roar.
Sebastian Conner: See, that right there. That’s the reason I can’t seem to stay away despite the doctor’s orders. I also couldn’t help the urge to be here for Xavier trying to prove why he deserves whatever it is he thinks he deserves.
A collective ‘OOOOOOOOH!’ from the crowd greets Sebastian as Ace is also unable to suppress a smirk at this point, adjusting the United States Championship.
Ace King: I don’t know how… Gentlemanly… That sounds, but you know what? I like the way you think, and I like the way you operate. Tell me, though, from a current briefcase holder to a former one… Injuries aside, are you feeling a certain temptation right about now?
Ace gestures to Sebastian’s briefcase, which gets the crowd buzzing a bit more.
Sebastian Conner: You know, if I had my way I would totally cash in and secure my spot at Night of Champions. However, the reality is even if I was back at 100%, I have some unfinished business to tend to first. Luckily the briefcase can be used anytime before the end of the season, and I think it would mean more if Xavier was able to beat all of you and then I beat him for the FSW championship. At that point even if he was lucky enough to be the Undisputed champion, his validity would be tarnished. That’s for a later date though, first I have a little weasel to take care of.
Ace slowly tilts his head as Sebastian speaks; he listens intently, albeit with his eyebrow still slightly raised.
Ace King: Yes, it never hurts to have your ducks in a row first, especially in making sure you’re back up to full speed to really seize the moment. As for Xavier… We may have an unwritten history of sorts, and we’ll never completely see eye to eye, but even I know the guy standing across from me tonight is going to give me a fight. I know you see him in a different light, but tonight, we’re going to straight up beat the Hell out of each other. He and I are a different breed, and tonight, the rest of the wrestling world gets to see that one more time.
Sebastian Conner: I have no doubts about that, and then again at the end of the month, huh? So how’s that sit with you knowing that even if you win tonight, all you’re doing is giving him practice ahead of Night of Champions. Not to mention the Trinity?
Ace offers a brief laugh before returning his focus to Conner.
Ace King: Ah, that practice thing works both ways. Paraphrasing here, but Atticus Finch once said you have to climb around in someone else’s skin and walk around in it to truly understand them. A fictional character, yes, but the lesson is all too real, so the best way I can prepare is to stare down what will be right in front of me in a few weeks’ time.
Sebastian Conner: I suppose you have a point. But experience has taught me that the man with the most to lose is the most dangerous when caught in a corner. The way I see it, Xavier has no choice but to win and keep winning until Night of Champions. He knows his days are numbered, and I don’t mean just me. He has Smokey Jones, David Mill… Scott… whatever his name is along with a dozen other members of the roster. If he loses at Night of Champions, he only has the FSW championship left. So he’s the animal backed in the corner… and that would make you?
Ace King: Easy, a guy who might have an even bigger target on his back, who’s still licking his wounds from his last time out. I know full well what that feeling is like, needing to have your head on a swivel at any given time because people are coming at you left, right, and center. It gets a little easier to cope when you can look that cornered man dead in the eyes and say ‘Hit me with your best shot.’ I know he’s going to hit me hard, but I intend to come back that much harder.
Sebastian seems to agree as he places a hand on Ace’s shoulder.
Sebastian Conner: You’re right, you never know when or where the next challenge will come from. And had it not been for an injury, it very well may have been us headlining the show tonight. So maybe just maybe, our paths will cross. So do me a favor, hold on to that title, and once I get mine. We can blow the roof off this place the right way. I suppose Xavier will have to do as a stand-in, if that’s what ya call it.
Ace simply nods back in response, tilting his head again as he extends a hand to Conner.
Ace King: I’m gonna hold you to that, alright?
Sebastian doesn’t hesitate and immediately returns the gesture shaking Ace’s hand.
Sebastian Conner: Deal. And Ace…. Good luck tonight.
Sebastian places his earbuds back into his ears and reaches in his pocket and turns the music back on. He smirks at Ace once more. He scopes up the briefcase before walking out of scene, and you can hear him singing along.
“Live to fly, fly to live, Aces high!”
Ace laughs softly and shakes his head as the feed cuts to…

Sebastian Conner: Well if it isn’t Rampage’s own, Ace King here in the flesh on my show.
Still amused, ‘The Gambler’ raises an eyebrow toward the recovering FSW Money in the Bank briefcase holder.
Ace King: What can I say? I go where I’m asked to go, plain and simple. Your boss asked me to be here tonight, so here I am.
Setting the briefcase to the ground, and putting his phone away. Sebastian looks like he is in a rather good mood despite having been out of action for over a month.
Sebastian Conner: Ah, you’re talking about Mr. Dealmaker. I could care less who the boss is, I have one voice that I Listen to and they are definitely letting me hear it tonight.
He pauses to let the Daly City crowd roar.
Sebastian Conner: See, that right there. That’s the reason I can’t seem to stay away despite the doctor’s orders. I also couldn’t help the urge to be here for Xavier trying to prove why he deserves whatever it is he thinks he deserves.
A collective ‘OOOOOOOOH!’ from the crowd greets Sebastian as Ace is also unable to suppress a smirk at this point, adjusting the United States Championship.
Ace King: I don’t know how… Gentlemanly… That sounds, but you know what? I like the way you think, and I like the way you operate. Tell me, though, from a current briefcase holder to a former one… Injuries aside, are you feeling a certain temptation right about now?
Ace gestures to Sebastian’s briefcase, which gets the crowd buzzing a bit more.
Sebastian Conner: You know, if I had my way I would totally cash in and secure my spot at Night of Champions. However, the reality is even if I was back at 100%, I have some unfinished business to tend to first. Luckily the briefcase can be used anytime before the end of the season, and I think it would mean more if Xavier was able to beat all of you and then I beat him for the FSW championship. At that point even if he was lucky enough to be the Undisputed champion, his validity would be tarnished. That’s for a later date though, first I have a little weasel to take care of.
Ace slowly tilts his head as Sebastian speaks; he listens intently, albeit with his eyebrow still slightly raised.
Ace King: Yes, it never hurts to have your ducks in a row first, especially in making sure you’re back up to full speed to really seize the moment. As for Xavier… We may have an unwritten history of sorts, and we’ll never completely see eye to eye, but even I know the guy standing across from me tonight is going to give me a fight. I know you see him in a different light, but tonight, we’re going to straight up beat the Hell out of each other. He and I are a different breed, and tonight, the rest of the wrestling world gets to see that one more time.
Sebastian Conner: I have no doubts about that, and then again at the end of the month, huh? So how’s that sit with you knowing that even if you win tonight, all you’re doing is giving him practice ahead of Night of Champions. Not to mention the Trinity?
Ace offers a brief laugh before returning his focus to Conner.
Ace King: Ah, that practice thing works both ways. Paraphrasing here, but Atticus Finch once said you have to climb around in someone else’s skin and walk around in it to truly understand them. A fictional character, yes, but the lesson is all too real, so the best way I can prepare is to stare down what will be right in front of me in a few weeks’ time.
Sebastian Conner: I suppose you have a point. But experience has taught me that the man with the most to lose is the most dangerous when caught in a corner. The way I see it, Xavier has no choice but to win and keep winning until Night of Champions. He knows his days are numbered, and I don’t mean just me. He has Smokey Jones, David Mill… Scott… whatever his name is along with a dozen other members of the roster. If he loses at Night of Champions, he only has the FSW championship left. So he’s the animal backed in the corner… and that would make you?
Ace King: Easy, a guy who might have an even bigger target on his back, who’s still licking his wounds from his last time out. I know full well what that feeling is like, needing to have your head on a swivel at any given time because people are coming at you left, right, and center. It gets a little easier to cope when you can look that cornered man dead in the eyes and say ‘Hit me with your best shot.’ I know he’s going to hit me hard, but I intend to come back that much harder.
Sebastian seems to agree as he places a hand on Ace’s shoulder.
Sebastian Conner: You’re right, you never know when or where the next challenge will come from. And had it not been for an injury, it very well may have been us headlining the show tonight. So maybe just maybe, our paths will cross. So do me a favor, hold on to that title, and once I get mine. We can blow the roof off this place the right way. I suppose Xavier will have to do as a stand-in, if that’s what ya call it.
Ace simply nods back in response, tilting his head again as he extends a hand to Conner.
Ace King: I’m gonna hold you to that, alright?
Sebastian doesn’t hesitate and immediately returns the gesture shaking Ace’s hand.
Sebastian Conner: Deal. And Ace…. Good luck tonight.
Sebastian places his earbuds back into his ears and reaches in his pocket and turns the music back on. He smirks at Ace once more. He scopes up the briefcase before walking out of scene, and you can hear him singing along.
“Live to fly, fly to live, Aces high!”
Ace laughs softly and shakes his head as the feed cuts to…

Match 5
Candy & Robbie Rayder v.
Collateral Damage (Draco Lazarus/Khaos)
Collateral Damage (Draco Lazarus/Khaos)
As Candy and Robbie Rayder stand in their corner, Draco Lazarus rips the Microphone from Gordon’s hands. Khaos takes his place in the corner as Draco clears his throat before making the fans suffer through his voice once again.
Draco Sucks!
Draco Sucks!
Draco Sucks!
Draco Lazarus: Oh really? Do I suck? Did I suck when I sent Candy home with a sourpuss face? Did I suck when I sent Sebastian Conner to pasture? Did I suck when I scared The Elf Queen to Rampage?
BOO!
BOO!
BOO!
Draco Lazarus: You know what. I don’t need this shit. Candy, I already beat you. Robbie, if you didn’t have the ref cheat for you, I should’ve beat you two. So I am going to bring someone new in to handle my light work.
"Ain't no Grave" by Johnny Cash begins to play as Happy drives out from the back on his custom Harley.
Hunter: How is he allowed to do this? What a coward!
Jackson: He is as dastardly as they come. It seems every week he is doing something to draw more and more hatred.
Calloway: The Dastardly Bastard! That would be a better nickname
Draco thumbs his nose, gives Robbie and Candy the Middle Finger Salute then slides through the ropes onto the outside. The Smugness oozing off as he gives Happy some “Dap.” Happy humors him with a fist bump before taking his MC jacket off and tossing it in the corner then sliding in the ring awaiting the bell. The ref looks confused.
DING DING DING
Khaos and Candy start the match. Khaos was the aggressor with a Low Dropkick, then kept momentum with a Hurricanrana and Underhook DDT. Robbie breaks up the pin attempt. Khaos tags in Happy. Happy grabs Candy by the hair, but Candy counters with a back Elbow then a Handspring Back Elbow. Creating enough space for her to make the Hot tag to Robbie. Robbie takes control with his Shock and Awe Combo, but pin is broken up by Khaos. After a few Blitzkreigs, Khaos breaks up another pin.
Robbie brings Happy to their corner, but Happy counters with a Stunner, then lays on the offensive with a few Springboard moves. Happy goes for a Springboard Eat This but Robbie moves. Giving him the chance to make the hot tag to Candy. Candy manages to get the upper-hand on Happy with Candy Cavity Removal followed by Candy Wrapper. Khaos breaks it up. As Khaos distracts the ref, Waylon Graves pulls Happy closer to his corner. Khaos breaks free and slaps his own hand as Robbie tries to point out the cheating to the ref. Khaos takes over as Draco and Graves pull Happy outside the ring.
The ref assumes it was a legal tag and allows it. Khaos brings Candy down with Hurricanrana followed by Worst Nightmare, but Candy kicks out. He locks in Mind Games, but Robbie breaks it up. Khaos goes for Dreamweaver but Candy moves out of the way. She goes for the tag, but Happy is in and prevents it by grabbing her foot and dragging toward their corner. Robbie dashes in, but he is met by a shot to the gut courtesy of Draco Lazarus’s Golden Cane. The ref turns to see Draco deliver a low blow to Robbie, then take him down with the Golden Ticket. Meanwhile Happy is stomping on the downed Candy. Waylon Graves comes over, grabs Candy, and slams her down with Nail in the Coffin.
DING DING DING
Stan Gordon: HERE ARE YOU WINNERS AS A RESULT OF DISQUALIFICATION… CANDY AND ROBBIE RAYDER !
Jackson: Another night of Collateral Damage out of control. They are here to soften Candy up for Waylon Graves I bet.
Hunter: It is a sound strategy, and they are the kind of cowards that would stoop to such tactics.
Calloway: Was that a Draco Lazarus compliment?
Hunter: I don’t think there has ever been a Draco Lazarus compliment.
Jackson: Candy and Robbie were about to turn momentum back in their favor.
Hunter: I think everyone watching knows they were on their way to victory. Their chemistry was too much for Collateral Damage.
Calloway: I don’t know about that. They seem to have scary chemistry. Like Margot is a chemist. I am just glad she isn’t here.
As the rest of Collateral Damage stomp on the downed married couple, Draco goes a mic. But as he reaches through the ropes, the lights go out. When the lights come on, Draco turns to see Robina Hood standing there. Draco drops to his knees, utilizing his “Please Don’t, I didn’t Mean It” strategy. Giving enough time for Khaos to come and hit Robina from behind. But Robina’s adrenaline keeps her planted, she turns and knocks Khaos down with a forearm smash, then she catches Draco as he tries a sneak attack. But the numbers are too much as Waylon Graves and Happy come from behind each with a clubbing blow to the back. They quickly dispense of Robina with a Double Powerbomb, sending her over the ropes and onto the outside. For good measure, Draco slides out the ring, grabs Robina, points to the table. Happy and Khaos clear it off. They then push Robina onto the Spanish Announce Table, where Draco proceeds to put her through with a Gold Star.
Draco points and laughs in the face of Robina Hood as two large groups of security pass Candy and Robbie Rayder helping each other up the ramp, making their way to the ring to stop the assault on Robina.
Match 6
David Scott v. Sarah Roberts
DING DING DING
Sarah Roberts. David Scott. Two highly combustible elements in the same ring together. Roberts undefeated against what she considered as ‘inferior’ opponents and Scott hungry to prove himself against a competitor that won’t back down.
Normally these two would bear dismissive glares and scowls at the opponents but right now, these two viewed each other as equals.
For the first time, Roberts had to fight on the back of her heels. Scott outweighed Roberts by nearly 100 pounds here and he used that to his advantage. He took a few of Roberts strikes before he grabbed her by the forearm and muscled her down with a takedown right into a keylock.
And despite Delilah's insistence to get back into the fight, Roberts’ explosive attack strategy was muted early on in this contest. She managed to escape the keylock only for Scott to extend the arm forward into reverse fujiwara armbar. And that was the trend for what possibly seemed liked an eternity.
Scott, never one to the pander to the crowd, seemed to enjoy as their cheers for Roberts were becoming quieter and quieter the more time she spent on the mat.
David Scott got greedy, though. Instead of keeping her grounded after an effectively brutal pendulum backbreaker, he looked down at his hands and he knew what he had to do. He pushes Roberts into the corner, raised a hand up, and the crowd watched as he began to chop away as was the Scott tradition.
Normally, the opponents he did this to would slump in the corner from the pain. This was not the case. Roberts’ eyes shot open and she smiled through the pain. She bit down on the mouth guard and fired back with forearm to the side of Scott’s face.
Delilah came back to life and slapped the mat with each forearm, punch, and chop she gave back to Scott. She fought out of that corner with a fiery passion. She ducked under a lariat from Scott and knocked him to the canvas with a leaping punch to the face.

She tried for a suplex and impressively got him into the air but Scott dropped behind her and caught her with a counter hangman’s neckbreaker.

.

2.
Only for a two count as well.
As the pace picked up, they exchanged more submissions, counters, and retaliations. It was a game of “Can You Top That?” and noone was getting the better of it.
10 minutes into a hard hitting battle, both competitors were drenched in sweat. Their bodies bore marks that would most like purple into ugly bruises. But despite all of that, they seemed happy at this predicament!? They met in the middle of the ring and exchanged a few heated words. Roberts shoved David Scott away. He shoved her back. She fired back with a spinning backfist. Scott ducked and tried for the full nelson. Roberts countered with a reverse elbow to the jaw. Go behind. She tries for her Highlight of the Night cobra clutch but Scott countered with an elbow of his own.
Sarah stumbled back holding her jaw. David Scott seized the opportunity and put her away with the Backdrop Driver. In a rare and impressive show of a high flyer’s agility, Roberts flipped out of it. She landed. Smacked her right knee repeatedly. Scott was in slow motion as he did not complete the motion that had garnered him so many victories. He turned around and had his Lights Turned out by The Deerfield Destroyer.
DING DING DING
Sarah Roberts gets her hand raised in victory. In a sign of respect, Sarah extended an hand out and helped Scott to his feet. He took it begrudgingly but still respected the contest. He departed as Delilah Huang bragged to the Cow Palace just how great her client is.
The camera cuts backstage to find ‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love as he walks with Killjoy Ito
’The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: My father always told me first impression are EVERYTHING, that people are going to make up their mind on you within the first few mins of meeting you and that holds truth in life and it sure as hell holds true in this business.
Tommy reaches out and grabs Killjoy by the shoulder and he stops and looks at his manager.
’The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: These FSW fans don’t know you, ok maybe...MAYBE they have seen a match or two of yours in Prime or on ppv but they don’t know you, they don’t know what you have gone through to get to this point...to get right here on Uprising #004, for this tonight is their first look at Killjoy Ito, their first impression of you and kid whatever happens tonight will stick with them for years to come.
But Tommy smiles
’The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: And I know the general FSW fans think that Brandon Carter Banks didn’t do us any favors by booking us against a man that just faced off against the FSW Champion but I see it as a golden opportunity to show these fans and the FSW brass what the future holds, that the best young talent is on the Prime brand but open to talks to bring him here.
Tommy’s smile widens
’The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: They love Smokey Jones, clearly they want to this man to succeed here in the FSW and maybe Banks wants him to be his champion but he just doesn’t seem able to get the job done, lost to Xavier Reid and sure, yes, Annabelle distracted him but at the end of the day he was beat and then last week him and David Scott went brain dead and got themselves counted out when a championship match was on the line so clearly I have to wonder, how badly does he want that rematch but it won’t matter what he wants after tonight because we are going to send a clear message that WE not only deserve another shot at the Indy Championship but need to be in the conversation for that FSW Championship, because when we beat the former/current/maybe/maybe not Number One Contender in his own house we should jump the line and get next on Xavier Reid when he fails at Night of Champions…
A slow clap can be heard from off to the side before a cloud of smoke fills the air and Smokey Jones walks into view. Smokey inhales off his blunt as he walks directly up to Tommy Love and exhales right in his face. Tommy Love instantly starts to cough uncontrollably as Smokey looks on with a smile on his face.
Smokey Jones: You sure do have a big mouth Tommy Love and you just love to jack that jaw of yours.
Smokey looks directly to the side at Killjoy Ito while he speaks pointing directly at Tommy Love.
Smokey Jones: If you're not careful, this leech is going to write a check your ass won't be able to cash.
Smokey takes another hit off his blunt holding in the smoke before releasing it into the air.
Smokey Jones: As for the status of the Number One Contendership, at least I've managed to earn that title unlike your client Tommy Love and I did that by myself. You might just want to do a double take and think about all that, because this isn't Prime this is the FSW and it’s time to see what your client is really capable of.
Smokey takes another hit before walking off and leaving a cloud of smoke rising behind him. Killjoy takes a step but Tommy puts his hand on his chest
’The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: No, it’s not worth it, not back here we will handle this out there in the ring for everyone to see. Tonight we take our first steps in becoming a major player here in the FSW.
Tommy coughs a few more times and motions for Killjoy to follow him down the hallway
Match 7
Smokey Jones v. Killjoy Ito
DING DING DING
DING DING DING
The sound of boo's pouring down on Killjoy Ito were almost enough to completely drown out the sound of the bell as both men delayed for several seconds before Matt Mercer encouraged the two Superstars to 'get it on'
While only an inch and 30 lbs bigger, Smokey Jones appeared to tower over the younger Ito. Killjoy relied on his martial arts background in the early going, using his incredible speed to bounce around the ring, in and out of danger, getting a few shots in here and there
The crowd started to get restless as Killjoy was avoiding anything Smokey tried to land on him. Then out of nowhere Ito landed the Kushu. With Smokey down to his knees Ito went to capitalize with a spinning kick but Smokey caught his foot and twisted his leg causing Ito to spin and fall to the mat.
Smokey spent the next few minutes really going to town on Ito. Landing punches to the gut, a couple of headbutts that could be heard arena wide, and then topped it off with Smokey Dreams. With Ito looking down and out at that point, Smokey went for the pin but Ito kicked out at the last possible fraction of a second.
Smokey then had Ito locked up in the Lightweight .. however Ito used his body to wiggle his way to the ropes and managed to roll the two of them off the mat and onto the ground, landing on Smokey thus breaking the hold. The two laid ringside for several seconds before both making it back just before the 10 count
It was now that Killjoy started to take over the match and he even won over a small fraction of the crowd with his impressive speed, but he put that to rest as he began yelling at the locals and telling them to shutup. At one point Killjoy landed the Corkscrew roundhouse kick which sent a bit of blood out of Smokeys mouth
Killjoy then landed the Burakkuauto and was on his way to try and finish Smokey off with the Kettei-da but while on his knees Smokey landed a low blow on Ito, causing Ito to bowl over grabbing his misters. Both men again on their backs, this time in the ring, both breathing heavily
They both managed to get to their knees and they met in the middle of the ring, trading blow after blow. Each shot more devastating then the next .. Ito was able to get to his feet and nail another Corkscrew roundhouse kick to Smokey. Ito then climbed the ropes and leaped for a forearm smash when Smokey shocked the arena, including Ito with the Tap Out!
After the pin went for only a 2 count, Smokey went for the kill .. getting Ito to his feet, picking him up and landing the Up In Smoke .. not once, but TWICE!
Then the cover ..

Match 8
Kaden Kessler v. Megan Treamon (Robina Hood)
DING DING DING
Kessler showed no trepidation while making his Uprising debut against arguably the most-decorated FSW superstar of all time. Robina, on the other hand, sputtered from the get-go. Perhaps still feeling the effects of that crazy match with Magdalena Lockheart two weeks ago, Robina had trouble getting anything going. After an undetected eye rake gave her a moment to breathe, Robina went for the Kamehameha. However, Kessler was able to side-step and grab Robina’s arm, dropping to the mat and locking her into the Death Lock.
The former FSW Champion would not go down too easily, as she managed to eventually get to the ropes to break the hold. Before she could attempt to mount any offense, Kessler pulled her up to her feet, lifted her up, and drilled her in the face with The Death Rattle. Robina dropped to the mat in a heap and Kessler fell on top for the cover.

Night of Champions Preview
Xavier Reid v. Ace King
Night of Champions Preview
The crowd hears Lemmy's growl, and they go nuts as the opening bass line to 'Ace of Spades' rips through the Cow Palace. As the drums kick in, pyro goes off up and down the ramp in time with the beat, while frenetic red and gold spotlights pulse through the building before fixating on the ramp.
Stan Gordon: Making his way to the ring, FROM Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 225 pounds... He is the EWC United States Champion... THE GAMBLER... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGGGGGG!!!
There's a huge explosion as the guitar kicks in, and the crowd roars as the one and only Ace King rises from a platform through the smoke of the pyro and into the spotlights, soaking in the ovation with his championship draped over his shoulder. 'The Gambler' stays on a knee, taking the title down to look at it for a few seconds. He takes a deep breath and walks to the ring, calmly interacting with fans all the way down the ramp.
He stops for a couple seconds at the end of the ramp, then charges to the ring, with gold pyro exploding from the turnbuckles as he dives in under the bottom rope. He spins up onto one knee and stares out into the crowd before getting to his feet and hoisting the US championship up for all to see.
The lights inside the arena go out as the fans come to their feet. The jumbo screen sparks to life
Cochise starts to play inside the arena as once last image fills the jumbo screen and illuminates onto the mat
Stan Gordon: Introducing next, from Edmonton Alberta... he is the FSW Champion, Xavvvvvvvvier Reeeeid!
The fans cheer out DOOMSDAY as Xavier Reid steps out onto the stage, the FSW Championship over his shoulder as the arena lights come on. He holds his arms up into the air and crossed them into a X over is head as he poses on the stage for a few moments and then walks down towards the ring, holding the FSW Championship out in front of his so the fans can reach out and touch the championship belt, his eyes glued into the ring. He reaches the steps and marches up them one by one and then climbs up the ropes and looks out over the crowd. He smiles and once again crosses his arms into a X as he jumps into the ring. He marches to the center of the ring and stretches out the FSW Championship belt and mouths 'step up to the line'
As Xavier is playing out his entrance, Ace King out of nowhere runs and clotheslines Reid to the mat to begin the match.
DING DING DING
Xavier is back to his feet and Ace hits him with an open hand across the head sending Reid to the mat in which he pops back to this feet. Again, Ace with another open hand sending Reid to the mat. He is back to his feet in seconds charging back at King who is standing ready with a third open hand in a feiry start to this match. This time as Xavier gets up, he sort of stumbles into one of the ring corners. Ace doesn't waste any time and follows Xavier and grabs his arm and attempts to irish whip him into the opposite corner only to have Xavier reverse and use his momentum to send Ace into the corner instead. He runs right after him but Ace busts out of the corner and hits a hard clothesline on Reid.
Ace is feeling it, as the crowd is behind the energy surrounding this match. Ace goes back after Reid who's now pulled himself up into the corner. Ace hit yet another hard open hand in which Xavier bounces back and tries to escape into the other corner on that side of the ring. Ace again grabs Xavier's arm and whips him to the middle of the ring without letting go he then yanks him back to the same corner sending Xavier flipping over the turnbuckle to the outside of the ring. As the ref begins to count.

Ace slides out of the ring and grabs Xavier and proceeds to run his head into the ring steps. He grabs him by the back of the head and runs to hit his head into the turnbuckle post. Xavier is able to put his hands up and stops his head from hitting and as Ace attempts again, Reid elbows Ace in the stomach and is able to run his head into the turnbuckle instead. The crowd is amped up at the change of momentum. Xavier whips Ace into the crowd barrier to a barrage of cheers. He picks Ace up on his shoulders head first and takes a running start to the crowd barricade again but Ace wiggles free and pushes Xavier sending him crashing into the barricade.

Ace is being urged by the referee to return to the ring. Ace pulls Xavier to his feet and pushes him into the ring stoppong the count at seven. Both men are back to their feet as Ace runs at Reid and is met with a toe hold taking King to the mat. Xavier kicks at a downed Ace a few times before pulling him to his feet and hitting him with a ddt. The crowd roars as Xavier attempts a pin.

KICKOUT AFTER ONE
Xavier again pulls Ace to his feet, and as he is pulled up, Ace throws his arms out breaking Xavier's grip of him. King then kicks him in the abdomen and wraps his head up and hits a fast and forceful suplex. He doesn't release his hold on Reid's head as he pulls him to his feet for another suplex. Ried wraps his leg around King forcing him to try harder for the second suplex. Again Xavier locks the the leg before giving a knee to the stomach of King. As he holds his mid section, Reid bounces off the rope and hits a superman punch. The crowd is absolutely pumped as he looks at the fallen US Champion. He looks to the crowd and climbs to the turnbuckle. It feels like an enternity as he leaps trying to hit a moonsault and is met with the knees of Ace King.
Ace trys to seize the moment and tries for a pin.

KICKOUT
Ace can be seen as visibley upset knowing full well it would take more than that to defeat Xavier. He grabs Xavier and brings him to his feet and whips him into a corner. He hits Reid with a devastating standing dropkick causing Xavier to crash to the ring. Ace scoops him back up and pulls him over his shoulders.
Jackson: A torture rack, which can only mean one thing.
Calloway: Blackjack Bomb baby!
Xavier Reid struggles and begins kicking his legs violently which causes the crowd to get amped and chant his name along with FSW.. Ace tries to lock down the hold but can't contain Xavier who is feeding of the crowd. Finally, Reid is able to get Ace to put him down and out of desperation lunges with a powerful clothesline.
Now with both men now down and on their backs and slowly getting back to their feet, it feels as if the match has been restarted.
Hunter: These two are showing exactly why they deserve to be headlining Night of Champions in hopes to become Undisputed Champion.
Calloway: And they both could still lose.
Jackson: Always a pessimistic.
Both men meet back in the middle of the ring and lock up with one another, Xavier with a second wind swings Ace at the ropes. Ace bounces back and ducks under a swing by Xavier and bounces off the ropes again and hits Reid with a disastrous neckbreaker. He attempts a pin.

The referee calls for the bell.
DING DING DING
Stan Gordon: The match has ended in a draw as both men were counted out!
Jackson: Our FSW champion has shown that he will risk it all to avoid a loss.
Hunter: Goes to show that at Night of Champions, he will do anything but lose.
Jackson: There's a lot of FSW stars in the back that have to admire that and hope he holds this mentality.
Calloway: One thing we can all agree on, is that the Undisputed title deserves to be on Uprising.
Both men lay motionless on the outside the ring as the episode of Uprising comes to an end.
