Slingshot Red vs Victoria Travis
Nathan Jacobs: “The following contest is the Last Woman Standing Match and it is for the Air Raid Championship!”
Bolt Thomas: “This has been extremely personal.”
Aaron Gurst: “And this is going to be brutal.”
"Up We Go" by Lights begins to play as the lights dim and the stage begins to fill with smoke. A spotlight suddenly lights up the stage, piercing the smoke and illuminating the caped figure of Harper Brooks, "The Incredible MachSpeed Slingshot Red." She nods along with the music for a moment before she raises her cape and begins to hop in place, a red strobe effect beginning to flicker throughout the arena. She begins to make her way down toward the ring, slapping hands with the fans and even stopping to give a few a hug along the way. As she reaches the ring, she climbs in and hops up into the near corner, spreading out her arms and taking in the cheers as her cape seems to flow in an unseen breeze around her. Smiling broadly, she gives the crowd a quick wave as the strobe light stops and the lights brighten back up, and she hops back down, taking off her cape and carefully setting it in the corner.
Nathan Jacobs: “Introducing first, from Cleveland, Ohio, weighing in at 113 pounds...she is the CPW Air Raid Champion...THE INCREDILBE MACHSPEED SLINGSHOT RED!”
Bolt Thomas: “Slingshot Red is looking to end things with Victoria Travis tonight.”
Aaron Gurst: “Can she though? Can she reach the level we saw when she assaulted Disturbed at Symphony of Destruction? That just gives Victoria what she wants.”
The lights in the arena go out. “The King of Villains/When I Said I Was Evil” by Aurelio Voltaire begins. At the twenty-six second mark, before the lyrics start, a burst of pyro erupts, bringing the lights back up. Victoria Travis stands at the top of the ramp in the spotlight, wearing a black version of Slingshot Red's costume with her arms crossed over her chest and head down. She spreads her arms wide and sprays poison mist. She laughs manically and walks to the ring.
Nathan Jacobs: “And her opponent, from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, weighing 125 pounds...”the Serial Killer” VICTORIA TRAVIS!”
Bolt Thomas: “Victoria Travis continues the mind games.”
Aaron Gurst: “Victoria Travis has been in Slingshot Red's head for weeks now. This match favors her and she knows it.”
Victoria climbs the stairs and steps into the ring. She pulls the cape around and flings it behind her dramatically, putting her hands on her hips and looking off to the side in a heroic pose.
Bolt Thomas: “She is practically mocking Slingshot Red.”
Aaron Gurst: “Practically?”
The crowd boos as Victoria takes off her cape, kind of rolling it and throws it at Slingshot Red, who knocks it away, but provides Victoria the opening. She charges in with a double leg takedown and starts to hammer away at Slingshot Red. The Air Raid Champion manages to push her challenger off and gets to her feet, but “the Serial Killer” nails a chop block, taking her leg out. Red starts to get up, but Victoria keeps kicking at her leg. Slingshot Red manages to get to the ropes and nails a hard right to Victoria, knocking her back. She follows with a slingblade knocking Victoria down and giving herself some breathing room.
Bolt Thomas: “Victoria Travis came right out of the gate.
Aaron Gurst: “This is her chance to be as brutal as she wants, as sadistic as she wants. She'll take it.”
“The Serial Killer” gets back to her feet. Slingshot Red catches Victoria with a jumping knee strike. She follows with a headscissors takedown and charges in, but Victoria catches her with a clothesline, taking Slingshot Red down. The Air Raid Champion starts to get to her feet, but the challenger pulls her into an attempted suplex. Slingshot Red slips out and lands behind Victoria and manages to hit the springboard bulldog. Victoria manages to get back to her feet before the referee can start counting. Slingshot Red goes for an enzugiri, but Victoria sidesteps. Victoria catches her from behind, bust Slingshot Red counters with an elbow and another one, forcing Victoria to release her. Slingshot Red turns around and gets blasted with the poison mist.
Bolt Thomas: “That damn mist just killed all of Slingshot Red's momentum.”
Aaron Gurst: “She has carte blanche to use it and she's going to.”
Victoria grabs her from behind and pulls her up in a German suplex. She holds on, pulling Slingshot Red up again and taking her back down with another German suplex. “The Serial Killer” rolls through and hits another German suplex. She keeps holding on and hitting German suplex after German suplex until she reaches one dozen German suplexes. The referee begins counting, but Victoria does not bother to wait. Inside the ring, Slingshot Red is starting to move.
Bolt Thomas: “Twelve German suplexes in a row!”
Aaron Gurst: “That has to be a record somewhere.”
Bolt Thomas: “Victoria is now heading outside the ring.”
Aaron Gurst: “This is not going to go well.”
Victoria looks at Bolt and Aaron “Oh she ain't down yet!” and pulls up the banner around the ring. Victoria slides out a ladder, kendo sticks, which she tosses into the ring, a table, and then a few chairs. She throws a chair into the ring and slides back in, with a chair in hand. Slingshot Red manages to get to her feet, but Victoria brings the steel chair hard across her back, dropping the Air Raid Champion to her knees with a grimace of pain. “The Serial Killer” swings the chair into Slingshot Red again, knocking her down, and then another strike. She grabs Slingshot Red's leg and sticks it into the chair, repeatedly stomping down on it as hard as she can. Slingshot Red cries out in pain. Victoria stops stomping on the chair and grabs Slingshot Red's leg, looking to apply a submission hold.
Bolt Thomas: “Victoria Travis is trying to break Slingshot Red's leg.”
Aaron Gurst: “Can't win a Last Man Standing match, or Last Woman Standing match if you can't stand. It's a brilliant idea, and she wants to see Red crawl.”
Slingshot Red starts kicking at Victoria get get her away and break the hold attempt. Reaching over, Slingshot Red manages to grab a kendo stick and swings it right into Victoria's head. She takes a few more swings at “the Serial Killer” just trying to stop her attack. Victoria drops to the mat as Red rolls away, holding her leg. Slingshot Red uses the ropes to get to her feet, staggering, shaking her leg to get some feeling and some blood flowing. Victoria slowly gets to her feet. Slingshot Red hobbles over to meet Victoria and the two start trading punches.
Bolt Thomas: “Slingshot Red is not out of this fight yet.”
Aaron Gurst: “But has the damage been done? She's got one good leg.”
Victoria goes for a kick to Slingshot Red's bad leg and hoists her up for a suplex, but Red is able to use her own momentum to hit a tornado DDT. She tries to run to the ropes, but her leg gives out and she drops against the ropes. She uses the ropes to get to her feet and stretches out her leg, trying to get it working. Victoria takes the opportunity to clothesline both her and Slingshot Red over the top rope. The two spill out onto the floor in front of the announce desk.

Victoria manages to get up and comes around the corner with a clothesline. She grabs the ladder and drives it into Slingshot Red's back, then sets it up by the announce table.
Bolt Thomas: “Slingshot Red, trying to get her leg back into this match.”
Aaron Gurst: “She's going to need more than one leg to win this match.”
Victoria starts to pull Slingshot Red up the ladder She slams her head into the top step and starts to pull Slingshot Red up for a supexplex. Bolt and Aaron move out of the way. Slingshot Red blocks it. Victoria nails her in the side and tries again, but Slingshot Red blocks her again. Victoria tries for a third time, almost getting it, but Slingshot Red reverses the suplex attempt and goes for one of her own. The two women crash through the announce table.

Bolt Thomas: “They are not done yet.”
Aaron Gurst: “I would be.”
Bolt Thomas: “That's why you are not wrestling here.”
Aaron Gurst: “And I don't want to. Pretty sure Victoria can kill me without breaking stride. I know Disturbed can. Nightmare too. Probably like half the roster.”
Slingshot Red rolls to the ring, using the apron to pull herself up. Victoria manages to roll over and starts picking herself up. By the time the referee reaches eight, both women are back to their feet. Victoria shoots Slingshot Red towards the barricade, but the Air Raid Champion uses the momentum to hit a springboard roundhouse. Slingshot Red hangs onto the apron to keep herself standing.

Bolt Thomas: “Again with that damn poison mist!”
Aaron Gurst: “I'm jealous of her recovery time.”
Bolt Thomas: “What?”
Aaron Gurst: “Nothing.”
Victoria staggers over to the table she had pulls out and leans it against the barricade. She pulls Slingshot Red up off the floor and hoists her up for a powerbomb, charging and throwing her through the table. The Air Raid Champion crumples with a sickening impact. Victoria leans against the ring, trying to buy a few moments of recovery. The referee begins his count once more.

Aaron Gurst: “I'd have stayed down.”
The crowd cheers as somehow, Slingshot Red stands up. Victoria charges in, but Slingshot Red somehow has enough awareness to dump her over the barricade. Several fans scatter as “the Serial Killer” crashes into the chairs. The referee starts to count.
Aaron Gurst: “We need to start warning people they are in the splash zone.”
One...

Slingshot Red staggers to the broken remains of the announce table, grabbing a bottle of water and pouring it over her face, trying to get the poison mist out of her eyes. The referee keeps counting, Victoria getting to her feet at the count of seven. Slingshot Red manages to get herself up on the and up the turnbuckle. She appears to be bleeding from a cut on her back from going through the table. She launches herself into a moonsault and catches Victoria, both women crashing into the pile of chairs. The referee gets into position.
Bolt Thomas: “What is she doing?”
Aaron Gurst: “Something either crazy and stupid. Kind of not sure how I want to see it go.”
Bolt Thomas: “Oh my God! Did you see that moonsault?!”
Aaron Gurst: “That's like Amy Zing level distance on a moonsault. How the hell did she hit that?”

Slingshot Red responds with a haymaker of her own and pulls Victoria up onto the side of the stands, nothing but the hard concrete floor below them. She jumps up, catching Victoria with a hurracarana and both of them go flying, crashing through the table. The crowd is on their feet, chanting “HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!” Both women are down in the wreckage of the set.
Bolt Thomas: “Don't do it Red. Don't do it.”

Both women are standing. Victoria sways, while Slingshot Red strains to remain vertical, leaning on euipment and pushing herself to the entrance ramp, grabbing it and using it to hold herself up. She is bleeding still from the back, the stain spreading from the cut.

Bolt Thomas: “She did it! Slingshot Red is the Last Woman Standing!”
Aaron Gurst: “I don't think these women are going to be standing for awhile.”
Bolt Thomas: “This was a war. An absolute war.”
Nathan Jacobs: “Here is your winner and STILL CPW Air Raid Champion...THE INCHEDIBLE MACHSPEED SLINGSHOT RED!”
The trainers and EMTs are working on Victoria and Slingshot Red. Avery Wright comes out, looking very concerned as she checks on Slingshot Red, the EMTs tring to keep her back while they work on her.
Bolt Thomas: “This match was as brutal and as personal as we expected it to be.”
Aaron Gurst: “This was the opening match! Do you understand that? All this carnage and mayhem was the first match. What the hell is the rest of Hardcore Heaven going to be like?”
Duke & Ava vs. Summer Dreams
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following match is scheduled for ONE FALL, and it is for the TRIPLE CROWN CHAMPIONSHIP!
Bolt Thomas:
Did you ever think we'd see Summer Dreams in this position again?
Aaron Gurst:
Honestly? No, I didn't. And that makes this very exciting!
“Superstars” hits the arena sound system as the fans are immediately on their feet. A few seconds later, Joe and Denni come out from the back with smirks on their faces. The two of them look around the crowd and nod. They then begin to make their way down to the ring, slapping hands with fans as they do so.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, they are the challengers...SUMMER DREAMS!!!
Bolt Thomas:
These two have established one of the most impressive legacies in CPW history! It's hard to deny what they've done! It's hard to deny what they'll likely continue to do! And yet...
Aaron Gurst:
This isn't the same team that took CPW by storm all those years ago! It just isn't.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And their opponents...
As the scathing guitar riffs of Scorpion Child's "Acid Roulette" through the PA the lights dim down low. On the tron appears the image of Duke and Ava Jupiter standing in front of a massive bonfire. Orange lights come up as Duke and Ava emerge from behind the curtain as smoke fills the entrance way and ring area. Ava holds up a fist lit with red light and Duke smirks and tosses his arms to his sides and his head to the sky. They hold these poses for a moment before stepping into action.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
...they are the current Triple Crown Champions...DUKE & AVA!
Bolt Thomas:
Meanwhile, let's not ignore just how talented these two are!
Aaron Gurst:
Or the fact that they've got something in their corner that Joe and Denni won't!
Bolt Thomas:
Captain Howdy...
While the two announcers conntinue to discuss Duke and Ava's...ally, Joe and Duke step into the ring. The two of them smirk at one another as the referee calls for the bell and the match is officially underway. Joe and Duke both pause for a moment as they feel out exactly what their opponent is going to do. Suddenly, they run toward the middle of the ring and begin to exchange hard right hands with one another. Joe and Duke battle back and forth across the ring, both men desperately trying to gain an advantage. Suddenly, Joe is able to take control as he grabs hold of Duke and tries to shoot him across the ring. Duke reverses the attempt and steps toward the middle of the ring to meet Joe on the rebound. Before he can do anything, Joe leaps into the air and sends Duke crashing to the mat with a flying forearm smash!
Bolt Thomas:
We saw a bit of what these two are capable of the last time they were in the ring together!
Aaron Gurst:
I will say...I think this one absolutely has the potential to be a better match than that one did!
Bolt Thomas:
Why's that?
Aaron Gurst:
Everyone has an incentive to take it seriously!
Duke pops back up to his feet as Joe rushes over toward him. Duke tries to lift joe into the air, but Joe responds by sending Duke crashing down to the mat with a headscissors takedown! Duke pops right back up to his feet as Joe bounces off of the ropes and picks up speed. Before he can do anything to him, Duke lunges at Joe and hits him with a big clothesline! Joe crashes to the mat as Duke shakes his head and takes a moment to enjoy the crowd's negative response. He then grabs hold of Joe and lifts up to his feet. He turns toward Joe and says something that the camera can't hear before snapping off a Russian Leg Sweep! Duke pops right back up to his feet and leaps into the air, dropping an elbow directly onto Joe's chest! He remains on top of him for the...
ONE!
TWO!
TH---Joe kicks out!
Joe stumbles back up to his feet as Duke closes the gap between the two of them and snaps off a few quick chops. Joe staggers back to the ropes and grabs hold of them to stay upright. Duke responds by pulling Joe toward the center of the ring and driving his knee into Joe's gut. Joe doubles over in pain as Duke bounces off of the ropes and tries to close the gap between the two of them for a swinging neckbreaker! As soon as he gets close enough to Joe to grab hold of him, Joe shoves Duke away from him. Duke stumbles a few steps as Joe steps forward and kicks him with a perfectly placed superkick!
Bolt Thomas:
Hard to stay upright when you get kicked by one of those!
Aaron Gurst:
Duke's still standing, but barely!
Joe smirks and leaps into the air, grabbing hold of Duke and pulling him down to the mat with a jumping flatliner! Duke's face bounces off of the mat as Joe drags Joe over toward his corner of the ring. Joe tags Denni into the match. She steadies herself for a moment before slingshotting herself over the top rope! She lands on Duke moments later with a senton! Denni remains on top of Duke and picks up the...
ONE!
TWO!
Duke kicks out!
Denni looks at Joe and nods. She grabs hold of Duke's head and tells Joe where to position himself. She gets ready to deliver a Sunset, when suddenly, Duke powers Denni into the air and slams her down to the mat with a back suplex! Joe charges over at Duke to try and keep Summer Dreams in control of the match, but Duke ducks underneath his clothesline attempt! Before Joe can bounce off of the ropes, Ava grabs hold of them and pulls them down, causing Joe to tumble out to the floor! Back in the ring, Denni stumbles back up to her feet. Duke closes the gap between the two of them and drives his knee hard into her ribs before lifting her into the air and delivering a snap suplex!
Bolt Thomas:
Joe and Denni were beginning to show a bit of the teamwork that made them famous, but Duke and Ava had other ideas!
Aaron Gurst:
Well, there's a reason that Duke and Ava are the CURRENT champs! Also, you have to wonder if Joe and Denni's timing is a bit off considering how long it's been since they've REALLY had to wrestle as Summer Dreams!
Denni tries to stagger back up to her feet. Duke closes the gap between the two of them and locks Denni into a front facelock. He briefly applies pressure before dragging her over toward his corner of the ring, tagging Ava into the match. Ava steps into the ring with a smile on her face. Duke grabs both of Denni's arms and pins them behind her back. Ava shakes her head and gets right in Denni's face, whispering something to her that the camera can't hear. She then pauses for a moment before delivering a loud slap that echoes throughout the arena. Duke straightens Denni up so that Ava can deliver a second for good measure! He then releases Denni as Ava bounces off of the ropes and sends Denni crashing to the mat with a spear!
Bolt Thomas:
I don't know if that's the kind of teamwork that wins matches...
Aaron Gurst:
But it IS the kind of teamwork that sends a message!
Denni tries to make it back up to her feet, but Ava quickly grabs hold of her and tries to wrestle Denni into position for a dragon sleeper! Denni's eyes go wide as she begins to flail around in an effort to escape from a hold that hasn't even happened yet. Ava laughs and suddenly releases Denni. She once again whispers something to her that Denni can't hear. She then drags Denni back up to her feet and shoots her across the ring. When Denni comes back on the rebound, she throws herself at Ava and tries to catch her off guard with a Taste of Perfection! Ava ducks out of the way and Denni crashes to the mat instead! Once again, Ava grabs hold of Denni and locks as if she's going to lock her into a dragon sleeper! This time, Joe grabs hold of Denni's leg and pulls her out of the ring as the two wrestlers regroup.
Bolt Thomas:
I think Joe saw where that was going and decided that he was going to give Denni a chance to catch a breather!
Aaron Gurst:
Part of being a good partner is knowing when your partner is in trouble!
The two wrestlers briefly chat with one another. Denni nods her head and takes a deep breath. Suddenly, Duke Jupiter comes charging around the ring with Denni in his sights! He tries to hit her with a running clothesline, but Joe pulls Denni out of the way! Duke hits him instead and knocks Joe off balance. Joe stumbles back from the impact as Duke charges at him again - and is sent into the steel stairs with a drop-toe-hold! duke slumps against the stairs as Denni looks over at Duke and smirks. The fans briefly cheer on Summer Dreams, when suddenly, Ava Jupiter bounces off of the ropes and dives out onto Denni on the floor! Denni hits the floor with a thud. Ava quickly grabs hold of Denni and rolls her back into the ring. Denni staggers back up to her feet. Ava briefly turns toward Joe and stares him down before sliding back into the ring. Suddenly, Joe grabs hold of Ava's ankle and trips her up! She goes to turn around to face Joe. Denni bounces off of the ropes and blindsides Ava with a Taste of Perfection!
Bolt Thomas:
Oh wow!
Denni drops down on top of Ava and covers for the...
ONE!

Denni tries to fight her way out of Ava's grasp, but Ava uses this opportunity to roll Denni up for the...
ONE!
TWO!
TH---NO!
Bolt Thomas:
This is beginning to get chaotic!
Aaron Gurst:
I know - I love it!
Ava stares Denni down as Joe charges at Duke and begins to pound away on him with hard right hands! Duke fires back with a few of his own as both men brawl with one another outside of the ring. Suddenly, the arena lights cut out. The tron flickers to life with a black and white video of a ouija board. The face of Captain Howdy briefly flashes in the center, before the planchette moves across the board, spelling out...

The tron then fades to static. A few moments later, the lights come back on. Everyone looks around the arena in confusion to see if there's any sighting of Captain Howdy, but he's nowhere to be found. Suddenly, Duke runs at Joe and blasts him into the crowd with the Triple Crown championship while no one is looking! Joe falls into the first row is Duke calmly tosses the belt aside.
Bolt Thomas:
Well, that was...
Aaron Gurst:
He was saying 'goodbye' Dolty! Maybe he meant for him?
While the two continue to discuss, Denni suddenly notices that Joe's in the crowd. Duke turns her his attention toward her and gets ready to step into the ring with Denni ready for a fight. Suddenly, Ava grabs hold of Denni from behind. She snaps off a Hypnotize and then rolls it right into a koji clutch! Denni's eyes go wide as she yells out in a panic and frantically taps on the mat.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The winners of this match...and STILL the Triple Crown Champions...DUKE & AVA JUPITER!!!
Bolt Thomas:
We may not know what the distraction meant, but it allowed Duke to get Joe out of the way, and it left Denni open...
Aaron Gurst:
Excuses, excuses! This isn't about Captain Howdy! This is about Duke & Ava!

Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following contest is a triple threat match. It is set for one fall and it is for the CPW Devastation Championship!
“Lords of War” by Otep hits and Disturbed marches to the ring, bare;y looking at anything other than the ring itself.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, challenger number one, weighing in at 350 pounds, the monster DISTURBED!
Bolt Thomas:
This man…
Aaron Gurst:
This is an angry monster, Dolty. He was supposed to be getting a different championship opportunity and here he is in this one… what the fu…
Bolt Thomas:
He’s getting this one and he’s likely getting another so what’s the problem?
Aaron Gurst:
How many times do we have to hear wrestlers tell us they’ve been fucked over before you start believing that at least one of them might be telling a smidge of truth about it?
The arena lights fade out before the opening of "Headstrong" by Saviour begins to roll in as the lights flash in hues of purple and blue. After around 8 seconds, the lyrics kick in as we watch Nightmare make his way onto the entrance stage. His head cloaked by the zipped black hoodie he wears, we watch as he takes a few steps forward before looking out at the arena. Turning his back he pauses for a moment before beginning to walk backwards towards the ring while looking up at the arena tron. From under the hood the camera catches that sick smirk he’s known for before, after a few steps he turns around and sprints the rest of the way to the ring and slides under the bottom rope. Once inside the ring, we watch as Nightmare goes to the far right turnbuckle and stands atop the 2nd rope and throws his arms up in an X under his chin before extending his arms out to flip off the crowd. Hopping down we watch as Nightmare unzips his hoodie and tosses it to the floor before sitting in the corner, awaiting for the match to begin.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:’
Introducing next, challenger number two, from Boston, Massachusetts and weighing in at 196 pounds, NIGHTMARE!!!
Bolt Thomas:
And here comes the returning Nightmare!
Aaron Gurst:
He’s still never ending!
Bolt Thomas:
It’s one of those things you can depend on.
Aaron Gurst:
This is a helluva sandwich to be the meat in if you’re the defending champion.
“Wayward One” starts playing as the lights turn Blue and Silver. 12 seconds into the song, Francisco Lopez appears on the stage, surrounded by smoke. He slowly makes his way to the ring, staring at his battleground as he walks around the ring. He slides into the ring, and stands in the center of the ring for a few moments, staring into the distance. He walks toward a nearby corner and stands, waiting for the match to start.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And their opponent, from Hartford, Connecticut and weighing in at 225 pounds, he is the current, reigning, defending CPW Devastation Champion, FRANCISCO LOPEZ!!!!
Bolt Thomas:
This man has had an amazing run as Devastation Champion!
Aaron Gurst:
He took Amy Zing away from us!
Bolt Thomas:
I don’t think that was really his fault.
Aaron Gurst:
It was absolutely his fault and whatever happens to him from now on, he deserves for doing that!
The bell sounds and Lopez and Nightmare look between each other and then at Disturbed. The two smaller men move towards each other, still seemingly having that discussion with themselves about whether they should start with each other or go hit the big man instead. As the two smaller men move in closer to each other, Disturbed catches both Lopez and Nightmare with a running lariat that flattens both of them. Nightmare and Lopez both flip over nearly all the way from the impact. Disturbed jumps up and drops an elbow on both men simultaneously. Disturbed covers Nightmare because he's closer and flat on his back.

Disturbed goes down onto all fours. Lopez jumps into a rolling cradle. Nightmare dropkicks both men from the side and knocks Lopez loose of the monster.
Bolt Thomas:
Nightmare is making life miserable for these guys tonight!
Aaron Gurst:
That’s kind of what he does. Always has been.
Bolt Thomas:
Disturbed remains a threat any time he can move and Lopez just seems to be able to try and snatch the match at any second.
Aaron Gurst:
Also how they’ve always been. This is a three way that you have to be paying attention or one of them is gonna break you off without warning!
Disturbed tries to swing wildly but Nightmare jumps over the arm as it swings around. Lopez jumps into a snap backstabber on the big man and Nightmare hits a basement dropkick to send Lopez off of Disturbed to allow himself to make the cover instead.

Aaron Gurst:

The sound of an engine starting can be heard as "Saturday Night" by the Kaiser Chiefs hits the sound system. "The Apex" Kelly James appears at the top of the ramp, waving a checkered flag as she stands and smiles at the crowd. She makes her way down to the ring, slapping hands with the fans as she passes, then climbs into the ring and up into the corner, waving the flag high above her head and waving to the crowd. She then hops down, setting the flag down in the corner and beginning to stretch as she awaits the start of the match.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, she is the challenger…KELLY JAMES!!!
Bolt Thomas:
Some would argue that she’s got Mud Mouth’s number…
Aaron Gurst:
And I think those people would be arguing the wrong thing! A little bit of luck doesn’t mean anything!
"Alligator Boots" by Struggle Jennings, Yelawolf begins to play as the lights dim in the arena. A single spotlight illuminates the rampway as Mud Mouth steps out from behind the curtain. He pauses on the top of the ramp and tosses his hands into the air before he makes his way down to the ring as the lights return to normal.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And her opponent, he is the current Xtreme Chaos Champion…MUD MOUTH!!!
Bolt Thomas:
It’s hard to argue against what this man has done over the past few months! It’s truly impressive!
Aaron Gurst:
And I get the feeling that it’s just the beginning!
While the two announcers continue to hype up the show’s main event, the referee calls for the bell and the match is officially underway.

Mud Mouth crashes to the mat and tries to stumble back up to her feet, only to have Kelly charge at him and deliver a swinging neckbreaker!
Bolt Thomas:
What a quick start to this one by Kelly James!
Aaron Gurst:
Just a little bit of luck, that’s all…
The fans are on their feet as Kelly waits for Mud Mouth to bring himself back up to his feet. As he’s climbing back up to his feet, Kelly bounces off of the ropes and tries to hit him with a running dropkick! Mud Mouth just barely ducks out of the way as Kelly hits the mat instead! Mud Mouth quickly drops an elbow onto her and then takes a few steps back. He waits for Kelly to reach her feet before running over to her!

Mud Mouth smirks as he grabs hold of Kelly and launches her over his head with a belly to belly suplex! The fans boo as Mud Mouth pops up to his feet and begins to taunt them.
Bolt Thomas:
Now, that’s just uncalled for!
Aaron Gurst:
Is it? He’s the Xtreme Chaos Champion and he’s feeling it! He should be saying whatever he wants!
Kelly stumbles back up to her feet. Once she’s standing, Mud Mouth bounces off of the ropes and throws himself at her - delivering a running clothesline that sends Kelly right back to the mat.

Oh, this isn’t good!
Aaron Gurst:
Who are you kidding? Of course it is!

Mud Mouth:
I’m still the damn King of Chaos, and I’m gonna use my shot.

Fans, we’ve received confirmation that this match is official!
Aaron Gurst:
I love it!

Aaron Gurst:
The champ has returned! Put some respect on his name!
Nathan Jacobs: “The following contest is the Last Woman Standing Match and it is for the Air Raid Championship!”
Bolt Thomas: “This has been extremely personal.”
Aaron Gurst: “And this is going to be brutal.”
"Up We Go" by Lights begins to play as the lights dim and the stage begins to fill with smoke. A spotlight suddenly lights up the stage, piercing the smoke and illuminating the caped figure of Harper Brooks, "The Incredible MachSpeed Slingshot Red." She nods along with the music for a moment before she raises her cape and begins to hop in place, a red strobe effect beginning to flicker throughout the arena. She begins to make her way down toward the ring, slapping hands with the fans and even stopping to give a few a hug along the way. As she reaches the ring, she climbs in and hops up into the near corner, spreading out her arms and taking in the cheers as her cape seems to flow in an unseen breeze around her. Smiling broadly, she gives the crowd a quick wave as the strobe light stops and the lights brighten back up, and she hops back down, taking off her cape and carefully setting it in the corner.
Nathan Jacobs: “Introducing first, from Cleveland, Ohio, weighing in at 113 pounds...she is the CPW Air Raid Champion...THE INCREDILBE MACHSPEED SLINGSHOT RED!”
Bolt Thomas: “Slingshot Red is looking to end things with Victoria Travis tonight.”
Aaron Gurst: “Can she though? Can she reach the level we saw when she assaulted Disturbed at Symphony of Destruction? That just gives Victoria what she wants.”
The lights in the arena go out. “The King of Villains/When I Said I Was Evil” by Aurelio Voltaire begins. At the twenty-six second mark, before the lyrics start, a burst of pyro erupts, bringing the lights back up. Victoria Travis stands at the top of the ramp in the spotlight, wearing a black version of Slingshot Red's costume with her arms crossed over her chest and head down. She spreads her arms wide and sprays poison mist. She laughs manically and walks to the ring.
Nathan Jacobs: “And her opponent, from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, weighing 125 pounds...”the Serial Killer” VICTORIA TRAVIS!”
Bolt Thomas: “Victoria Travis continues the mind games.”
Aaron Gurst: “Victoria Travis has been in Slingshot Red's head for weeks now. This match favors her and she knows it.”
Victoria climbs the stairs and steps into the ring. She pulls the cape around and flings it behind her dramatically, putting her hands on her hips and looking off to the side in a heroic pose.
Bolt Thomas: “She is practically mocking Slingshot Red.”
Aaron Gurst: “Practically?”
The crowd boos as Victoria takes off her cape, kind of rolling it and throws it at Slingshot Red, who knocks it away, but provides Victoria the opening. She charges in with a double leg takedown and starts to hammer away at Slingshot Red. The Air Raid Champion manages to push her challenger off and gets to her feet, but “the Serial Killer” nails a chop block, taking her leg out. Red starts to get up, but Victoria keeps kicking at her leg. Slingshot Red manages to get to the ropes and nails a hard right to Victoria, knocking her back. She follows with a slingblade knocking Victoria down and giving herself some breathing room.
Bolt Thomas: “Victoria Travis came right out of the gate.
Aaron Gurst: “This is her chance to be as brutal as she wants, as sadistic as she wants. She'll take it.”
“The Serial Killer” gets back to her feet. Slingshot Red catches Victoria with a jumping knee strike. She follows with a headscissors takedown and charges in, but Victoria catches her with a clothesline, taking Slingshot Red down. The Air Raid Champion starts to get to her feet, but the challenger pulls her into an attempted suplex. Slingshot Red slips out and lands behind Victoria and manages to hit the springboard bulldog. Victoria manages to get back to her feet before the referee can start counting. Slingshot Red goes for an enzugiri, but Victoria sidesteps. Victoria catches her from behind, bust Slingshot Red counters with an elbow and another one, forcing Victoria to release her. Slingshot Red turns around and gets blasted with the poison mist.
Bolt Thomas: “That damn mist just killed all of Slingshot Red's momentum.”
Aaron Gurst: “She has carte blanche to use it and she's going to.”
Victoria grabs her from behind and pulls her up in a German suplex. She holds on, pulling Slingshot Red up again and taking her back down with another German suplex. “The Serial Killer” rolls through and hits another German suplex. She keeps holding on and hitting German suplex after German suplex until she reaches one dozen German suplexes. The referee begins counting, but Victoria does not bother to wait. Inside the ring, Slingshot Red is starting to move.
Bolt Thomas: “Twelve German suplexes in a row!”
Aaron Gurst: “That has to be a record somewhere.”
Bolt Thomas: “Victoria is now heading outside the ring.”
Aaron Gurst: “This is not going to go well.”
Victoria looks at Bolt and Aaron “Oh she ain't down yet!” and pulls up the banner around the ring. Victoria slides out a ladder, kendo sticks, which she tosses into the ring, a table, and then a few chairs. She throws a chair into the ring and slides back in, with a chair in hand. Slingshot Red manages to get to her feet, but Victoria brings the steel chair hard across her back, dropping the Air Raid Champion to her knees with a grimace of pain. “The Serial Killer” swings the chair into Slingshot Red again, knocking her down, and then another strike. She grabs Slingshot Red's leg and sticks it into the chair, repeatedly stomping down on it as hard as she can. Slingshot Red cries out in pain. Victoria stops stomping on the chair and grabs Slingshot Red's leg, looking to apply a submission hold.
Bolt Thomas: “Victoria Travis is trying to break Slingshot Red's leg.”
Aaron Gurst: “Can't win a Last Man Standing match, or Last Woman Standing match if you can't stand. It's a brilliant idea, and she wants to see Red crawl.”
Slingshot Red starts kicking at Victoria get get her away and break the hold attempt. Reaching over, Slingshot Red manages to grab a kendo stick and swings it right into Victoria's head. She takes a few more swings at “the Serial Killer” just trying to stop her attack. Victoria drops to the mat as Red rolls away, holding her leg. Slingshot Red uses the ropes to get to her feet, staggering, shaking her leg to get some feeling and some blood flowing. Victoria slowly gets to her feet. Slingshot Red hobbles over to meet Victoria and the two start trading punches.
Bolt Thomas: “Slingshot Red is not out of this fight yet.”
Aaron Gurst: “But has the damage been done? She's got one good leg.”
Victoria goes for a kick to Slingshot Red's bad leg and hoists her up for a suplex, but Red is able to use her own momentum to hit a tornado DDT. She tries to run to the ropes, but her leg gives out and she drops against the ropes. She uses the ropes to get to her feet and stretches out her leg, trying to get it working. Victoria takes the opportunity to clothesline both her and Slingshot Red over the top rope. The two spill out onto the floor in front of the announce desk. Red manages to get back to her feet, using the side of the ring to hit an enzugiri, taking Victoria down. The referee starts his count. Slingshot Red tries to walk, putting weight on her injured leg. Victoria manages to get up and comes around the corner with a clothesline. She grabs the ladder and drives it into Slingshot Red's back, then sets it up by the announce table.
Bolt Thomas: “Slingshot Red, trying to get her leg back into this match.”
Aaron Gurst: “She's going to need more than one leg to win this match.”
Victoria starts to pull Slingshot Red up the ladder She slams her head into the top step and starts to pull Slingshot Red up for a supexplex. Bolt and Aaron move out of the way. Slingshot Red blocks it. Victoria nails her in the side and tries again, but Slingshot Red blocks her again. Victoria tries for a third time, almost getting it, but Slingshot Red reverses the suplex attempt and goes for one of her own. The two women crash through the announce table. Slingshot Red flips onto Victoria and rolls onto the floor. The referee starts counting.
Bolt Thomas: “Jesus Christ!”
Aaron Gurst: “Are they dead?”
One...
Two...
Thee...
Four...
Five...
Six...
Bolt Thomas: “They are not done yet.”
Aaron Gurst: “I would be.”
Bolt Thomas: “That's why you are not wrestling here.”
Aaron Gurst: “And I don't want to. Pretty sure Victoria can kill me without breaking stride. I know Disturbed can. Nightmare too. Probably like half the roster.”
Slingshot Red rolls to the ring, using the apron to pull herself up. Victoria manages to roll over and starts picking herself up. By the time the referee reaches eight, both women are back to their feet. Victoria shoots Slingshot Red towards the barricade, but the Air Raid Champion uses the momentum to hit a springboard roundhouse. Slingshot Red hangs onto the apron to keep herself standing. She pulls herself up and runs along, jumping off to hit a perfect senton onto Victoria Travis. The referee starts his count. Victoria rolls starts to get up at the six. Slingshot Red is there to meet her, pulling her up. Victoria once again blasts Slingshot Red in the face with the poison mist and then hits a DDT.
Bolt Thomas: “Again with that damn poison mist!”
Aaron Gurst: “I'm jealous of her recovery time.”
Bolt Thomas: “What?”
Aaron Gurst: “Nothing.”
Victoria staggers over to the table she had pulls out and leans it against the barricade. She pulls Slingshot Red up off the floor and hoists her up for a powerbomb, charging and throwing her through the table. The Air Raid Champion crumples with a sickening impact. Victoria leans against the ring, trying to buy a few moments of recovery. The referee begins his count once more.
Bolt Thomas: “Goddammit! Stay down Red, live to fight another day.”
Aaron Gurst: “We both know she's not going to do that.”
One...

Bolt Thomas: “Slingshot Red is back to her feet.”
Aaron Gurst: “I'd have stayed down.”
The crowd cheers as somehow, Slingshot Red stands up. Victoria charges in, but Slingshot Red somehow has enough awareness to dump her over the barricade. Several fans scatter as “the Serial Killer” crashes into the chairs. The referee starts to count.
Aaron Gurst: “We need to start warning people they are in the splash zone.”
One...
Two...
Three...
Slingshot Red staggers to the broken remains of the announce table, grabbing a bottle of water and pouring it over her face, trying to get the poison mist out of her eyes. The referee keeps counting, Victoria getting to her feet at the count of seven. Slingshot Red manages to get herself up on the and up the turnbuckle. She appears to be bleeding from a cut on her back from going through the table. She launches herself into a moonsault and catches Victoria, both women crashing into the pile of chairs. The referee gets into position.
Bolt Thomas: “What is she doing?”
Aaron Gurst: “Something either crazy and stupid. Kind of not sure how I want to see it go.”
Bolt Thomas: “Oh my God! Did you see that moonsault?!”
Aaron Gurst: “That's like Amy Zing level distance on a moonsault. How the hell did she hit that?”

Slingshot meets her, throwing a punch at her and another, sending Victoria up the stairs and into the aisle past the fans, who are trying to avoid getting hit. The two women stagger towards the set of the per-event show, which has been emptied of CPW personnel when the show started, but will be used later. Victoria staggers back, but nails Slingshot Red with a hard haymaker. Slingshot Red responds with a haymaker of her own and pulls Victoria up onto the side of the stands, nothing but the hard concrete floor below them. She jumps up, catching Victoria with a hurracarana and both of them go flying, crashing through the table. The crowd is on their feet, chanting “HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!” Both women are down in the wreckage of the set.

Somehow, she holds on and repeats the move three more times, rolling Northern Lights suplexes. Victoria does not let up, grabbing Slingshot Red and pulling her into a belly-to-belly suplex. She throws the Air Raid Champion through the setting, shattering the painted glass wall of the set. Slingshot Red crumbles to the ground. Victoria lays there while the referee counts.
Bolt Thomas: “Rolling Northern Lights suplexes.”
Aaron Gurst: “Where they hell are they finding the ability even move?”
Bolt Thomas: “Victoria just threw Slingshot Red through the set!”
Aaron Gurst: “Why the hell not? They've literally done everything else to each other!”

Slingshot Red starts to get up. Victoria grabs Slingshot Red and brings her into the back, whipping her into a wall. Slingshot Red reverse it somehow and Victoria hits the wall hard. Slingshot Red catches her with another springboard bulldog and a modified MachSpeed Splash. She clutches her knee as she hits the concrete.
Bolt Thomas: “Slingshot Red's leg has to be killing her right now.”
Aaron Gurst: “Dolty, I think EVERY part of her is killing her. Forget feeling it in the morning. She's feeling this for a month.”

Bolt Thomas: “Both these women have to be in incredible pain.”
Victoria manages to roll herself to her feet. Slingshot Red moves in, but gets caught with a Northern Lights suplex. Victoria picks up Slingshot Red, and starts to lead her through the backstage area, back inside the arena. Red fights back, throwing a few punches, but Victoria hits a knee to the stomach and Red stops throwing fists. She tosses the Air Raid Champion out through the curtain, then walks over to the staging area and grabs two chairs, throwing one out as she walks out, lifting the chair up. Slingshot Red meets her with a chair to the midsection
Bolt Thomas: “How much do these two women, these athletes have left in them? What else can they do to one another?”
Arron Gurst: “A lot. Somehow, they still have options.”
Slingshot Red staggers to her feet and brings the chair over Victoria's back. “The Serial Killer” drops to her knees in pain. Slingshot Red raises the chair high above her head, but does not bring it down, tossing the chair aside rather than give into the wrath. Victoria takes this moment of hesitation to once again, spray the poison mist into Slingshot Red's face and nails the Swift End. “The Serial Killer” sits up as the referee counts.
Bolt Thomas: :”Damnit! The mist again. It can't end like this!”
Aaron Gurst: “Yeah, actually it can. That hesitation cost her.”

Victoria grabs her and drags her over to the edge of the entrance ramp She pulls her in for a powerbomb. Slingshot Red throws a hard punch, and another, managing to slip out of the powerbomb. She looks at the edge of the entrance way and catches her with a hurracana and both women go crashing into electrical equipment. Sparks go flying, electricity crackles and the lights dim. The referee hops down and starts to count as the two women lay among the debris.
Bolt Thomas: “No...no...NO! OH MY GOD! JESUS CHRIST!”
Aaron Gurst: “They HAVE to be dead after that!”
Bolt Thomas: “Just stop the damn match! We should have already.”

Victoria Travis rolls away from the debris, starting to get to her feet. Slingshot Red manages to use the wreckage of the table and equipment to pull herself up.

Aaron Gurst: “I have no idea how they are doing this. I am scared and confused and kind of freaking out.”
Eight...
Both women are standing. Victoria sways, while Slingshot Red strains to remain vertical, leaning on euipment and pushing herself to the entrance ramp, grabbing it and using it to hold herself up. She is bleeding still from the back, the stain spreading from the cut.
Bolt Thomas: “Somehow, both these women are standing.”
Aaron Gurst: “How?”
Nine...
Victoria Travis staggers towards Slingshot Red, like she is ready to continue the fight but then drops to her knees and flops on the floor. Slingshot Red staggers as she legs go of the rampway, but holds herself up..
Ten!
Slingshot Red drops to the arena floor, completely and totally spent, but . The referee calls for the bell as trainers and EMTs come to check on the two competitors.
Bolt Thomas: “She did it! Slingshot Red is the Last Woman Standing!”
Aaron Gurst: “I don't think these women are going to be standing for awhile.”
Bolt Thomas: “This was a war. An absolute war.”
Nathan Jacobs: “Here is your winner and STILL CPW Air Raid Champion...THE INCHEDIBLE MACHSPEED SLINGSHOT RED!”
The trainers and EMTs are working on Victoria and Slingshot Red. Avery Wright comes out, looking very concerned as she checks on Slingshot Red, the EMTs tring to keep her back while they work on her.
Bolt Thomas: “This match was as brutal and as personal as we expected it to be.”
Aaron Gurst: “This was the opening match! Do you understand that? All this carnage and mayhem was the first match. What the hell is the rest of Hardcore Heaven going to be like?”
Duke & Ava vs. Summer Dreams
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following match is scheduled for ONE FALL, and it is for the TRIPLE CROWN CHAMPIONSHIP!
Bolt Thomas:
Did you ever think we'd see Summer Dreams in this position again?
Aaron Gurst:
Honestly? No, I didn't. And that makes this very exciting!
“Superstars” hits the arena sound system as the fans are immediately on their feet. A few seconds later, Joe and Denni come out from the back with smirks on their faces. The two of them look around the crowd and nod. They then begin to make their way down to the ring, slapping hands with fans as they do so.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, they are the challengers...SUMMER DREAMS!!!
Bolt Thomas:
These two have established one of the most impressive legacies in CPW history! It's hard to deny what they've done! It's hard to deny what they'll likely continue to do! And yet...
Aaron Gurst:
This isn't the same team that took CPW by storm all those years ago! It just isn't.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And their opponents...
As the scathing guitar riffs of Scorpion Child's "Acid Roulette" through the PA the lights dim down low. On the tron appears the image of Duke and Ava Jupiter standing in front of a massive bonfire. Orange lights come up as Duke and Ava emerge from behind the curtain as smoke fills the entrance way and ring area. Ava holds up a fist lit with red light and Duke smirks and tosses his arms to his sides and his head to the sky. They hold these poses for a moment before stepping into action.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
...they are the current Triple Crown Champions...DUKE & AVA!
Bolt Thomas:
Meanwhile, let's not ignore just how talented these two are!
Aaron Gurst:
Or the fact that they've got something in their corner that Joe and Denni won't!
Bolt Thomas:
Captain Howdy...
While the two announcers conntinue to discuss Duke and Ava's...ally, Joe and Duke step into the ring. The two of them smirk at one another as the referee calls for the bell and the match is officially underway. Joe and Duke both pause for a moment as they feel out exactly what their opponent is going to do. Suddenly, they run toward the middle of the ring and begin to exchange hard right hands with one another. Joe and Duke battle back and forth across the ring, both men desperately trying to gain an advantage. Suddenly, Joe is able to take control as he grabs hold of Duke and tries to shoot him across the ring. Duke reverses the attempt and steps toward the middle of the ring to meet Joe on the rebound. Before he can do anything, Joe leaps into the air and sends Duke crashing to the mat with a flying forearm smash!
Bolt Thomas:
We saw a bit of what these two are capable of the last time they were in the ring together!
Aaron Gurst:
I will say...I think this one absolutely has the potential to be a better match than that one did!
Bolt Thomas:
Why's that?
Aaron Gurst:
Everyone has an incentive to take it seriously!
Duke pops back up to his feet as Joe rushes over toward him. Duke tries to lift joe into the air, but Joe responds by sending Duke crashing down to the mat with a headscissors takedown! Duke pops right back up to his feet as Joe bounces off of the ropes and picks up speed. Before he can do anything to him, Duke lunges at Joe and hits him with a big clothesline! Joe crashes to the mat as Duke shakes his head and takes a moment to enjoy the crowd's negative response. He then grabs hold of Joe and lifts up to his feet. He turns toward Joe and says something that the camera can't hear before snapping off a Russian Leg Sweep! Duke pops right back up to his feet and leaps into the air, dropping an elbow directly onto Joe's chest! He remains on top of him for the...
ONE!
TWO!
TH---Joe kicks out!
Joe stumbles back up to his feet as Duke closes the gap between the two of them and snaps off a few quick chops. Joe staggers back to the ropes and grabs hold of them to stay upright. Duke responds by pulling Joe toward the center of the ring and driving his knee into Joe's gut. Joe doubles over in pain as Duke bounces off of the ropes and tries to close the gap between the two of them for a swinging neckbreaker! As soon as he gets close enough to Joe to grab hold of him, Joe shoves Duke away from him. Duke stumbles a few steps as Joe steps forward and kicks him with a perfectly placed superkick!
Bolt Thomas:
Hard to stay upright when you get kicked by one of those!
Aaron Gurst:
Duke's still standing, but barely!
Joe smirks and leaps into the air, grabbing hold of Duke and pulling him down to the mat with a jumping flatliner! Duke's face bounces off of the mat as Joe drags Joe over toward his corner of the ring. Joe tags Denni into the match. She steadies herself for a moment before slingshotting herself over the top rope! She lands on Duke moments later with a senton! Denni remains on top of Duke and picks up the...
ONE!
TWO!
Duke kicks out!
Denni looks at Joe and nods. She grabs hold of Duke's head and tells Joe where to position himself. She gets ready to deliver a Sunset, when suddenly, Duke powers Denni into the air and slams her down to the mat with a back suplex! Joe charges over at Duke to try and keep Summer Dreams in control of the match, but Duke ducks underneath his clothesline attempt! Before Joe can bounce off of the ropes, Ava grabs hold of them and pulls them down, causing Joe to tumble out to the floor! Back in the ring, Denni stumbles back up to her feet. Duke closes the gap between the two of them and drives his knee hard into her ribs before lifting her into the air and delivering a snap suplex!
Bolt Thomas:
Joe and Denni were beginning to show a bit of the teamwork that made them famous, but Duke and Ava had other ideas!
Aaron Gurst:
Well, there's a reason that Duke and Ava are the CURRENT champs! Also, you have to wonder if Joe and Denni's timing is a bit off considering how long it's been since they've REALLY had to wrestle as Summer Dreams!
Denni tries to stagger back up to her feet. Duke closes the gap between the two of them and locks Denni into a front facelock. He briefly applies pressure before dragging her over toward his corner of the ring, tagging Ava into the match. Ava steps into the ring with a smile on her face. Duke grabs both of Denni's arms and pins them behind her back. Ava shakes her head and gets right in Denni's face, whispering something to her that the camera can't hear. She then pauses for a moment before delivering a loud slap that echoes throughout the arena. Duke straightens Denni up so that Ava can deliver a second for good measure! He then releases Denni as Ava bounces off of the ropes and sends Denni crashing to the mat with a spear!
Bolt Thomas:
I don't know if that's the kind of teamwork that wins matches...
Aaron Gurst:
But it IS the kind of teamwork that sends a message!
Denni tries to make it back up to her feet, but Ava quickly grabs hold of her and tries to wrestle Denni into position for a dragon sleeper! Denni's eyes go wide as she begins to flail around in an effort to escape from a hold that hasn't even happened yet. Ava laughs and suddenly releases Denni. She once again whispers something to her that Denni can't hear. She then drags Denni back up to her feet and shoots her across the ring. When Denni comes back on the rebound, she throws herself at Ava and tries to catch her off guard with a Taste of Perfection! Ava ducks out of the way and Denni crashes to the mat instead! Once again, Ava grabs hold of Denni and locks as if she's going to lock her into a dragon sleeper! This time, Joe grabs hold of Denni's leg and pulls her out of the ring as the two wrestlers regroup.
Bolt Thomas:
I think Joe saw where that was going and decided that he was going to give Denni a chance to catch a breather!
Aaron Gurst:
Part of being a good partner is knowing when your partner is in trouble!
The two wrestlers briefly chat with one another. Denni nods her head and takes a deep breath. Suddenly, Duke Jupiter comes charging around the ring with Denni in his sights! He tries to hit her with a running clothesline, but Joe pulls Denni out of the way! Duke hits him instead and knocks Joe off balance. Joe stumbles back from the impact as Duke charges at him again - and is sent into the steel stairs with a drop-toe-hold! duke slumps against the stairs as Denni looks over at Duke and smirks. The fans briefly cheer on Summer Dreams, when suddenly, Ava Jupiter bounces off of the ropes and dives out onto Denni on the floor! Denni hits the floor with a thud. Ava quickly grabs hold of Denni and rolls her back into the ring. Denni staggers back up to her feet. Ava briefly turns toward Joe and stares him down before sliding back into the ring. Suddenly, Joe grabs hold of Ava's ankle and trips her up! She goes to turn around to face Joe. Denni bounces off of the ropes and blindsides Ava with a Taste of Perfection!
Bolt Thomas:
Oh wow!
Denni drops down on top of Ava and covers for the...
ONE!

Ava kicks out!
Denni lines herself up with Ava and gets her into position for a bulldog! Just before she can bounce off of the ropes, Duke trips her up. Denni stumbles and nearly falls to the mat as Ava nearly pulls Denni into an octopus stretch! Denni tries to fight her way out of Ava's grasp, but Ava uses this opportunity to roll Denni up for the...
ONE!
TWO!
TH---NO!
Bolt Thomas:
This is beginning to get chaotic!
Aaron Gurst:
I know - I love it!
Ava stares Denni down as Joe charges at Duke and begins to pound away on him with hard right hands! Duke fires back with a few of his own as both men brawl with one another outside of the ring. Suddenly, the arena lights cut out. The tron flickers to life with a black and white video of a ouija board. The face of Captain Howdy briefly flashes in the center, before the planchette moves across the board, spelling out...

The tron then fades to static. A few moments later, the lights come back on. Everyone looks around the arena in confusion to see if there's any sighting of Captain Howdy, but he's nowhere to be found. Suddenly, Duke runs at Joe and blasts him into the crowd with the Triple Crown championship while no one is looking! Joe falls into the first row is Duke calmly tosses the belt aside.
Bolt Thomas:
Well, that was...
Aaron Gurst:
He was saying 'goodbye' Dolty! Maybe he meant for him?
While the two continue to discuss, Denni suddenly notices that Joe's in the crowd. Duke turns her his attention toward her and gets ready to step into the ring with Denni ready for a fight. Suddenly, Ava grabs hold of Denni from behind. She snaps off a Hypnotize and then rolls it right into a koji clutch! Denni's eyes go wide as she yells out in a panic and frantically taps on the mat.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The winners of this match...and STILL the Triple Crown Champions...DUKE & AVA JUPITER!!!
Bolt Thomas:
We may not know what the distraction meant, but it allowed Duke to get Joe out of the way, and it left Denni open...
Aaron Gurst:
Excuses, excuses! This isn't about Captain Howdy! This is about Duke & Ava!
Duke brings the Triple Crown Championships into the ring and hands a belt to Ava. She grabs hold of it and celebrates her victory as Joe stumbles over the guard rail.
Francisco Lopez vs Disturbed vs Nightmare
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following contest is a triple threat match. It is set for one fall and it is for the CPW Devastation Championship!
“Lords of War” by Otep hits and Disturbed marches to the ring, bare;y looking at anything other than the ring itself.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, challenger number one, weighing in at 350 pounds, the monster DISTURBED!
Bolt Thomas:
This man…
Aaron Gurst:
This is an angry monster, Dolty. He was supposed to be getting a different championship opportunity and here he is in this one… what the fu…
Bolt Thomas:
He’s getting this one and he’s likely getting another so what’s the problem?
Aaron Gurst:
How many times do we have to hear wrestlers tell us they’ve been fucked over before you start believing that at least one of them might be telling a smidge of truth about it?
The arena lights fade out before the opening of "Headstrong" by Saviour begins to roll in as the lights flash in hues of purple and blue. After around 8 seconds, the lyrics kick in as we watch Nightmare make his way onto the entrance stage. His head cloaked by the zipped black hoodie he wears, we watch as he takes a few steps forward before looking out at the arena. Turning his back he pauses for a moment before beginning to walk backwards towards the ring while looking up at the arena tron. From under the hood the camera catches that sick smirk he’s known for before, after a few steps he turns around and sprints the rest of the way to the ring and slides under the bottom rope. Once inside the ring, we watch as Nightmare goes to the far right turnbuckle and stands atop the 2nd rope and throws his arms up in an X under his chin before extending his arms out to flip off the crowd. Hopping down we watch as Nightmare unzips his hoodie and tosses it to the floor before sitting in the corner, awaiting for the match to begin.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:’
Introducing next, challenger number two, from Boston, Massachusetts and weighing in at 196 pounds, NIGHTMARE!!!
Bolt Thomas:
And here comes the returning Nightmare!
Aaron Gurst:
He’s still never ending!
Bolt Thomas:
It’s one of those things you can depend on.
Aaron Gurst:
This is a helluva sandwich to be the meat in if you’re the defending champion.
“Wayward One” starts playing as the lights turn Blue and Silver. 12 seconds into the song, Francisco Lopez appears on the stage, surrounded by smoke. He slowly makes his way to the ring, staring at his battleground as he walks around the ring. He slides into the ring, and stands in the center of the ring for a few moments, staring into the distance. He walks toward a nearby corner and stands, waiting for the match to start.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And their opponent, from Hartford, Connecticut and weighing in at 225 pounds, he is the current, reigning, defending CPW Devastation Champion, FRANCISCO LOPEZ!!!!
Bolt Thomas:
This man has had an amazing run as Devastation Champion!
Aaron Gurst:
He took Amy Zing away from us!
Bolt Thomas:
I don’t think that was really his fault.
Aaron Gurst:
It was absolutely his fault and whatever happens to him from now on, he deserves for doing that!
The bell sounds and Lopez and Nightmare look between each other and then at Disturbed. The two smaller men move towards each other, still seemingly having that discussion with themselves about whether they should start with each other or go hit the big man instead. As the two smaller men move in closer to each other, Disturbed catches both Lopez and Nightmare with a running lariat that flattens both of them. Nightmare and Lopez both flip over nearly all the way from the impact. Disturbed jumps up and drops an elbow on both men simultaneously. Disturbed covers Nightmare because he's closer and flat on his back.

NIGHTMARE BREAKS IT UP WITH A DROPKICK!
Disturbed stands up and throws Lopez off of him. Lopez knocks Nightmare back into the ropes and Disturbed stands up. He grabs Nightmare by the throat and sets it. Before he can snap off the chokeslam, Lopez hits a leg whip dropkick to Disturbed's leg. Disturbed loses his grip on Nightmare and the smaller man jumps up into a knee strike. Disturbed goes down onto all fours. Lopez jumps into a rolling cradle. Nightmare dropkicks both men from the side and knocks Lopez loose of the monster.
Bolt Thomas:
Nightmare is making life miserable for these guys tonight!
Aaron Gurst:
That’s kind of what he does. Always has been.
Bolt Thomas:
Disturbed remains a threat any time he can move and Lopez just seems to be able to try and snatch the match at any second.
Aaron Gurst:
Also how they’ve always been. This is a three way that you have to be paying attention or one of them is gonna break you off without warning!
Disturbed tries to swing wildly but Nightmare jumps over the arm as it swings around. Lopez jumps into a snap backstabber on the big man and Nightmare hits a basement dropkick to send Lopez off of Disturbed to allow himself to make the cover instead.

The following match is scheduled for ONE FALL, and it is for the XTREME CHAOS CHAMPIONSHIP!
Bolt Thomas:
I’m looking forward to this one!
Aaron Gurst:
You would be…
The sound of an engine starting can be heard as "Saturday Night" by the Kaiser Chiefs hits the sound system. "The Apex" Kelly James appears at the top of the ramp, waving a checkered flag as she stands and smiles at the crowd. She makes her way down to the ring, slapping hands with the fans as she passes, then climbs into the ring and up into the corner, waving the flag high above her head and waving to the crowd. She then hops down, setting the flag down in the corner and beginning to stretch as she awaits the start of the match.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, she is the challenger…KELLY JAMES!!!
Bolt Thomas:
Some would argue that she’s got Mud Mouth’s number…
Aaron Gurst:
And I think those people would be arguing the wrong thing! A little bit of luck doesn’t mean anything!
"Alligator Boots" by Struggle Jennings, Yelawolf begins to play as the lights dim in the arena. A single spotlight illuminates the rampway as Mud Mouth steps out from behind the curtain. He pauses on the top of the ramp and tosses his hands into the air before he makes his way down to the ring as the lights return to normal.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And her opponent, he is the current Xtreme Chaos Champion…MUD MOUTH!!!
Bolt Thomas:
It’s hard to argue against what this man has done over the past few months! It’s truly impressive!
Aaron Gurst:
And I get the feeling that it’s just the beginning!
While the two announcers continue to hype up the show’s main event, the referee calls for the bell and the match is officially underway. Without any hesitation, Kelly James charges across the ring and hits Mud Mouth in the mouth with a forearm smash! She follows it up with a second, and then a third.

He steps toward the middle of the ring and waits for Kelly to come back on the rebound - only to have her leap in the air and hit him on the jaw with a jumping knee strike! Mud Mouth crashes to the mat and tries to stumble back up to her feet, only to have Kelly charge at him and deliver a swinging neckbreaker!
Bolt Thomas:
What a quick start to this one by Kelly James!
Aaron Gurst:
Just a little bit of luck, that’s all…
The fans are on their feet as Kelly waits for Mud Mouth to bring himself back up to his feet. As he’s climbing back up to his feet, Kelly bounces off of the ropes and tries to hit him with a running dropkick! Mud Mouth just barely ducks out of the way as Kelly hits the mat instead! Mud Mouth quickly drops an elbow onto her and then takes a few steps back. He waits for Kelly to reach her feet before running over to her!

Mud Mouth smirks as he grabs hold of Kelly and launches her over his head with a belly to belly suplex! The fans boo as Mud Mouth pops up to his feet and begins to taunt them.

Kelly hops down to the mat, when suddenly, Mud Mouth runs at her and delivers a clothesline! Kelly drops the belt to the mat as the fans boo loudly. Mud Mouth pulls Kelly back up to her feet and lines her up with the Xtreme Chaos Championship. He then plants Kelly on the championship belt with the CreekWater DDT! The fans boo loudly as Mud Mouth calls for a microphone.
Bolt Thomas:
What now?
Mud Mouth:
Y’all think I’m a damn idiot? Hell nah.
The fans boo.
Mud Mouth:
I’m still the damn King of Chaos, and I’m gonna use my shot.
The crowd suddenly goes silent. The referee pauses for a moment, as if he’s receiving instructions from the back. Suddenly, he calls for the bell and a match is officially underway.
Bolt Thomas:
Fans, we’ve received confirmation that this match is official!
Aaron Gurst:
I love it!
The fans suddenly boo loudly as no one in the arena can even hear themselves think. Mud Mouth ignores it as he kicks the belt out of the way and drags Kelly back up to her feet. He hits her with a second CreekWater DDT for good measure before hooking the leg and picking up the…
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!!
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The winner of this match…and the NEW Xtreme Chaos Champion…MUD MOUTH!!!
Bolt Thomas:
No…
The fans continue to boo loudly as Mud Mouth grabs the Xtreme Chaos Championship belt off of the mat and holds it high in the air.
Aaron Gurst:
The champ has returned! Put some respect on his name!
