Josh Rafferty vs. Jack Evans

Josh Rafferty is making the transition from Mixed Martial Arts to Pro Wrestling and is facing his biggest test to date with Jack Evans, having Teddy Hart berating him from the guest commentator’s position. Evans and Rafferty lockup and Rafferty uses his MMA back round and delivers a few knees to the midsection and as he attempted to come over the top with an elbow Evans ducked under it and got a go behind. Evans dropkicks Rafferty in the back of the head and plays to the crowd while Josh writhes in pain on the canvas. Evans gives Rafferty the Ode to Blitzkrieg and Teddy Hart stands and applauds his tag partner. Evans points to Teddy who advises Evans to finish it and Evans scales to the top rope and he calls for the 630 but Rafferty gets his knee’s ups! He gets up and gestures that he out smarted Evans and turns and flips off Teddy Hart! He brings his attention back to Evans and begins soccer kicking him going back to his MMA roots when suddenly the referee hits the canvas and it becomes clear that Teddy Hart hit him with brass knuckles, he then quickly clocks Rafferty and knocks him out. Hart picks Evans up and tells him to set up for the Hart Attack 2.0 and Evans connects with the move. Teddy Hart pulls the zebra themed shirt off of the referee and makes the three count.

Winner: Jack Evans







Murphy Jones vs. Blade

Blade started fast and the rookie Murphy Jones tried hard to keep up with the X Division champions pace. Jones had a few spurts of strong offense and really showed great promise in this match. Unfortunately the veteran Blade managed to battle back every time. Salty Jones even made it to ringside to try to encourage his partner on and he even tried to trip Blade up! Blade how ever let Salty play catch with his partner by throwing him over the top rope and into Salty! Sexy Salt eventually made their way to their feet and Blade delivered a beautiful summersault plancha onto Sexy Salt! Blade brought Murphy Jones back into the ring and gave him a double arm DDT for the win.

Winner: Blade

Nathaniel Broadway vs. Alexander Dreadnaught

Broadway came into this match looking to make a statement but he obviously had difficulties with Dreadnaught’s size. Throughout most of the match Dreadnaught used his power offense and Broadway showed an innate ability to withstand punishment. As Broadway was on the floor Dreadnaught got on the grond and began to blatantly choke him with his hand but Broadway managed to wriggle Dread into an Oma Plata shoulder lock! He then transitioned the Oma Plata into his finisher The Kimura and with that Dreadnaught was forced to tap!

Winner: Nathaniel Broadway







Olypsius vs Lance Fiennes

This match would have a lot of hype and would not disappoint. These two young up and coming EwC stars would put on the match of the night out doing anything that came before or after. Lance would have an advantage early on and would dominate for a while hitting several big moves, but was unable to keep his opponent down. Olypsius showed that he did not need Michael Saint to get a win, because the finish came when Lance would go for a suplex that Olypsius would reverse into The Franchise Choke signature move of Michael Saint. Lance was about to tap when Jason Walker would run down breaking up the hold causing Mike Christ to run in as well. The ref would lose control and call for the bell.

No Contest Due To Outside Interference.

Maddog vs. Shadow Man

Maddog came into the biggest match of his career and wanted to prove that he was worthy to be in the ring with the immortal Shadow Man. The two locked up and Shadow Man’s ring rust was evident as Maddog took him into the corner, the referee called for the break and Maddog took a step back and quickly drove a shoulder into the gut of Shadow Man, Maddog attempted another one but Shadow Man countered by delivering a knee squarely into the top of Maddog’s head. That shot clearly had an adverse affect on Maddog and messed with his equilibrium. Maddog stumbled around the ring and through some lazy punches half of which missed Shadow Man who seemed to become more and more confident in the ring as the match wore on. Maddog made a last ditch effort to upend the former Undisputed Champion, he tried to connect with The Hangover but Shadow Man ducked at the last minute and send Maddog flying over the top rope. Shadow Man follows him to the outside and irish whips him into the ring apron and then rolls him into the ring. Shadow Man signals that the end is near and gets Maddog up on his shoulders and hits him with Darkness and follows it up with the 1…2…3.

Winner: Shadow Man







Jay Rey vs. Jason Walker

This was a close contest. This time around the refs would be more careful. Jay would go for another win using the ropes, but this time the ref would be able to see it so Jay was unable to cheat to win. Walker would dominate the match for the next few minutes using his size and power to beat down on the smaller Jay Rey. Walker would connect with the Lights Out, but the pin would be broken up when El Chupacabra ran down to ringside pulling out the ref. Chupa would connect with a Downward Spiral on Walker and the dazed Jay Reynolds would put an arm over him for the three count and the win.

Winner: Jay Reynolds

(The lights go out as a orange coma line appears on the EWC-Tron. The line shows a couple of valleys as the line continues to shift across the screen. Finally a loud beep is heard over the PA as orange pyros explode at the top of the enterance ramp. Whatever by Our Lady Peace hits the PA as Jason Burgess walks down the enterance ramp as the crowds reaction goes through the roof. Jason walks down the enterance ramp, slapping the hands of the EWC fans. Jason stops in front of the ring apron and looks at the ring announcer. The ring announcer starts to introduce Jason, but Jason slides into the ring quickly and walks straight up to the ring announcer and snatches the microphone out of his hand.)

Jason: BURGESS!

(Jason hops off the turnbuckle and chucks the microphone back at the ring announcer and tells him to leave the ring as Jason awaits his opponent.)





The lights flicker and lower to a growling haze and smoke bellows into the entrance and a single blue spotlight dances across the crowd. The suddenly begin to bleed with a deep melodic beat that sways the crowd to their feet, only to be welcomed by the sight of a figure standing in the midst of the shadows. The figure moves through the shadows towards the ring as "King of Kings" dictate the demeanor of the people, and the blue spotlight crosses him front of him various times just missing the opportunity of illuminate his identity. He slides into the ring and walks to the middle just as the searchlights make it to him and with a single clenched fist high in the air brings the lights to full capacity and a flurry of firework from the turnbuckles...giving the world a full view of...
