THE ROCK: Was invited to the tournament from William Regal after completing the final scenes of Hobbs & Shaw 17: It Doesn't Matter What The Subtitle's Name Is. Unfortunately for the third generation star he had unofficially "retired" from the business to sequeway into Hollywood and Politics, so he was under the impression it was a movie about a wrestling tournament. Sometimes art imitates life. He has no idea everything is far from scripted in this final tournament.
Paying Dues and Smacking Foos !
The Savior vs The Saved
Singles Match
Shawn Michaels vs Seth Rollins
For years on Shawn Michaels return tour he has been talking about how he has been saved and is a changed man.
"The Savior" Seth Rollins declares that he has not truly been saved until he has been saved by the chosen one
the heir apaprent , the new showstopper Seth Rollins. In a match featuring two of the most talented in ring
performers of all time , who will be saved and who will be left to pick of the pieces of his life and his career.
The Ninth Wonder vs The Baddest Woman on the Planet
Singles Match
Rhonda Rousey vs Chyna
Two of the most dangerous and fear inducing women in wrestling history clash in a battle of eras and styles.
Chyna has never faced anyone with the abiliy and fierocity of Rousey who domininated a much deeper division but Rousey
has never seen anyone like Chyna who was battling men when Ronda was still battling babysitters. Can the Rowdy one
neutralize the strength of the ninth wonder or does Chyna make quick waste of Rousey like she did so many years blazing
early trails in the WWF?
Time For Talking is Over
Backlot Brawl
Roddy Piper vs Cactus Jack
Two of the greatest promo's in the history of wrestling and two guys who would much rather brawl than put on any sort
of wrestling clinic so naturally they head to the backlot of the arena and see just who is the most verocious of them all.
The promos would be on fire but the carnage would definitely match after these two titans of the industry get through with
eachother.
Yo it's me , it's me , it's Dolph to the Z!
Singles Match
Dolph Ziggler vs Diamond Dallas Page
Two of the most consumate and consistent performers of their decades , two guys who worked their ways up and down cards
for most of their careers. The cocky and brash Dolph might have just bitten off more than he can chew though by
calling out the ultimate working mans wrestler in DDP who is prepared to teach the young buck a lesson with a BANG.
Guitars , Cadillacs and Broken Bodies
Tag Team Match
The Irish Wrecking Crew (Dr. Death and Fit Finlay) vs Music City Mafia (Honkytonk Man and Elias)
For weeks on end the bastards from Music City have attacked the IWC with guitar shot after guitar shot and now it's time
for them to have to meet them face to face in the ring , a tall task for the guitar wielding bastards as Finley and Dr. Death
make a terrifying team of two of the hardest hitting most destructive forces in wrestling history. Can MCM outsmart the IWC or
does brute force and tenacity take over?
Quote the Loose Cannon Nevermore
No Holds Barred
Brian Pillman vs Raven
Calling these two eccentric personalities would be an understatement , the promo's have been wild from shooting Pillman
talking about Raven's ascent through the ranks as Johnny Polo to his current fraudulent incarnation of a overbearing drama queen
to Raven lampooning Pillman for his All American background and Hollywood looks. It's gotten deeply personal and the only
way to settle it is to let anything go and let these two tear eacother apart.
The Man vs The Icon
Singles Match
Becky Lynch vs Trish Stratus
Inarguably two of the most revolutionary women in the history of wrestling battle in one of the all time ultimate dream
matches. Becky Lynch balks at Trish being the first woman to ever main event a measly Monday Night Raw because THE MAN
has main evented a WRESTLEMANIA ignoring the groundwork laid by Trish and few others to ever make that dream a possibility.
Which woman comes out on top in this battle of legacies for not only them but their eras?
Sending a KENTA to slay some Dragons
Three Way Dance
KENTA vs Ricky Steamboat vs Ultimo Dragon
I mean what better for an opener than three incredible workers all going at it in a battle of supremacy , strong style
and high flying ability. Three completely separate eras , three morphed styles that all come together in what should be
a classic , barn burning , slobber knockering opener of all openers for fans of any type or any time.

KAYFABE KOMBAT
Generations ago there existed numerous wrestling organizations. They all fought for the same chunk of pie, but mostly stayed in their own sections. Territories if you will. While there was clearly one leader of them all, he was not interested in taking over and expanding. There was enough for everyone. But once he died that all changed. Vince McMahon, the son, had other plans. But he needed cooperation before he began gutting companies of their top stars. He needed to out work the carnies and he did so by creating the illusion that they had a say in their destiny and they weren't merely on borrowed time until Future Endeavor'd.
Vince McMahon's vision for the future saw wrestling expanding beyond what it was. He wanted to expand the empire, but knew the remaining promoters would not be on board. But what do all wrestling companies love? A goddamned tournament, pal! Enter Kayfabe Kombat, a tournament that took place every few years by invite only. Vince's champion, Stan Hansen, would serve as the "final boss" to the tournament. If Hansen was able to defend Vince's vision 10x, the expansion takes place and Vince replacing all of wrestling with sports entertainment. One company becomes a monopoly. But the rest of the business is here to fight back. If they can defeat Vince's chosen champion 10x then the territories will be left to their devices and will live on with their 1.1er fanbases. To oversee everything he enlisted the help of Jeff Jarrett as someone who could administer the tournament itself.
Vince had full confidence in his champion, but Jarrett saw the talent rising up between tournaments. Vince thought they were the drizzling shits, but Jarrett saw potential. Each tournament Hansen gets older and nagging wrestling injuries never really go away. He was left in charge so he began changing the rules. Instead of 8 invites to the territories to bring their best, Double J began placing his own hand-picked moles into various companies to ensure more of "his guys" made the cut to the tournament itself. Should they make it to the finals against Hansen... easy peasy lemon squeezy. Other started to become suspicious and fought back. The invites were heavily guarded, but no matter how even the playing field in the tournament proper Hansen was simply put unstoppable. So far he has won 9 straight tournaments. Professional Wrestling was helpless over Jarrett's cheating ways, which only made things more helpless as Stan Hansen clearly did not need any assistance.
Enter William Regal who began searching every bingo hall for the best wrestlers he could find. He was awarded 4 slots in the tournament to battle Jarrett's 4 with the eventual goal to battle Hansen and restore balance to the squared circle. This is their final battle against global expansion and Vince's plan to make it the only game in town. It is Kayfabe Kombat!
REPRESENTING SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT
JAY WHITE: Took it upon himself to seriously wound Oceanspray in order to force him to relinquish the IWGP Heavyweight Championship belt. He feels there is only room for one top gaijin in Japan and took matters into his own hands. Witnessing his ruthlessness was all it took for Jarrett to hand pick him as his first invite into the final tournament. Whether he can defeat Hansen is irrelevant as the goal is simply to stop Regal's side from getting a chance.
PEYTON ROYCE: Recently released from Vince's army you would think she would make for an odd choice to get an invite from Jarrett, but it was a deal within a deal. Much like Oceanspray she is here less for the tournament and more for vengeance. Another participant, oddly enough also on the same side, was promised to her if she entered as the sole female rep. Jarrett made her a deal that if she joins their side he will make sure they face off in the same round. While it does not make logical sense to have two of your "boys" face off before the finals, 9 straight victories suggests Double J has a plan here somehow.
PETE DUNNE: Dunne has found his way here for two reasons. Vince is very high on him and sees a promising future in Sports Entertainment, but he also had a falling out with Regal due to his actions in relation to Peyton Royce. Because of that he was invited into the tournament in order to lure Peyton Royce. Pete Dunne is responsible for whatever personal issue that fuels Royce's inclusion in the tournament. What it is remains to be seen, but he is eager to finish what he started with the widow.
THE VELVETEEN DREAM: There are many internet rumors regarding the origins of the Dream, some going as far as to suggest "he" is in fact the future adult version of Aurora Rose Levesque. It is unknown what their goal for the tournament is or if the are merely here to ensure Vince's vision for the future becomes reality. Perhaps they're simply here to take over. It's all about the experience.

REPRESENTING PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
THE ROCK: Was invited to the tournament from William Regal after completing the final scenes of Hobbs & Shaw 17: It Doesn't Matter What The Subtitle's Name Is. Unfortunately for the third generation star he had unofficially "retired" from the business to sequeway into Hollywood and Politics, so he was under the impression it was a movie about a wrestling tournament. Sometimes art imitates life. He has no idea everything is far from scripted in this final tournament.
BRYAN DANIELSON: After toiling on the indies, making it in the big leagues and surviving a forced retirement this B+ player was searching for something more. A tour of Japan or two. There was no way his former pupil was ever going to not be a first-round draft pick to represent Professional Wrestling. He may in fact be the best in the world and could bridge the gap between the two adversarial styles of the business. Regal believes he is the missing piece.
WILL "OCEANSPRAY" OSPREAY: On top of the world at one point in time. He climbed the ranks in a foreign land, going from junior to heavyweight and securing the top prize. But it all came to a crashing halt when a backstage assault post-match in his first title defense by someone on Jarrett's side. He is seeking vengeance for possibly stalling his career. While he cares less about the future of the business (he feels he'll adapt regardless), that drive and motivation was enough for him to be in heavy consideration for the "right" side of history.
WILLIAM REGAL: Initially not one of the four originally, Jeff Jarrett goaded Regal into "wasting" one of his entries on himself. Regal agreed under the idea that after he defeats Hansen that Jarrett is next. Truthfully Regal was not confident in finding a worthwhile 4th man, so opted to do it himself.
