Seattle Dragons versus Atlanta Dream
Pre-Game

[Lights up on a studio where Cathy Kelley is sitting front and center.]

Kelley: Hello and welcome to Season 1 of WrestleSport. We’ve got two exciting games for you tonight. In our featured game, a Central Conference grudge match as the Twin City Lightning look to pick up an upset over the power ranked Second City Saints. But first, in the opening game of the season, the Atlanta Dream has head to Seattle to take on the Dragons! We’re about to send it to the press room where each team will announce who is competing in the trios, tag, and singles matches for today’s game.

[We cut to the press room. There is a screen in the middle behind a podium. On each side of the screen are two levels with tables at each level. Behind the tables, there is a banner for each team. Excalibur walks on stage and approaches the podium.]

Excalibur: Good evening ladies and gentlemen of the WrestleSport press. My name is Excalibur, and I am the lead analyst for the Western Conference. Please welcome our visitors, the ATLANTA DREAM!

[The crowd claps politely as Dustin Rhodes, Samoa Joe, Jonathan Gresham, Lee Johnson, Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, Wardlow, and MJF make their way onto the stage. Then, Kingdom by Downstait plays as Dustin and Joe look a bit agitated. Cody Rhodes walks onto the stage and takes his seat at the table.]

Excalibur: Now, let’s hear it for the Seattle Dragons!

[The crowd cheers as Bryan Danielson, Ricky Steamboat, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson, Chris Hero, Daniel Garcia, Matt Lee, Jeff Parker, and Daniel Makabe. ]

Excalibur: All right, the home team advantage means the Atlanta Dream must announce their team for the trios match, first. Let’s welcome General Manager of the Atlanta Dream, Dustin Rhodes!

Dustin: Well, now that everybody’s here… Tonight, Samoa Joe is going to lead Jonathan Gresham, and ‘Big Shotty’ Lee Johnson into the ring. We’ve got one of the most dominant wrestlers of all time leading two of the most promising members of our team.

Joe: Dustin, with all due respect, I want Bryan Danielson.

Cody: I’m sorry, Joe. That’s my match.

MJF: Excuse me, last time I checked Bryan Danielson has beaten both of you, but he’s never beaten me.

Cody: Max, with all due respect, there is only one singles competitor on this team-

Dustin: HEY! I’m the damn coach. I’m the General Manager. Joe, you’re in the trios match this week. Max, Cody, if you want a match at all, you better shut your mouths, or you’ll be on the damn bench.

Excalibur: All right, Ricky Steamboat will tell us who Samoa Joe, Jonathan Gresham, and Lee Johnson will face.

Steamboat: I have a pretty direct strategy when it comes to putting my team together. We have to have great trios in the Western Confernece, and in my opinion, Matt Lee, Jeff Parker, and Daniel Garcia are a great trio whether I like them or not. And while I have the stage, Matt and Nick Jackson, The Young Bucks will be in our tag team match.

Excalibur: Dustin, who will The Young Bucks face?

Dustin: I’ve got a lot of options when it comes to tag teams. That was no accident. Tonight, The Young Bucks are going head to head with a team I know will do whatever it takes to win. MJF and Wardlow. As for the singles match, it will be my brother, Cody Rhodes.

Steamboat: I don’t think there’s any question who he will be going up against. Our team captain, Bryan Danielson.

Excalibur: All right then, let’s send it to the ring!


Atlanta Dream at Seattle Dragons

Excalibur: All right, I am joined by Western Conference analyst Don Callis as well as the Eastern Conference, Taz.

Callis: We’re going to see why the Western Conference is superior when the Seattle Dragons go down as the first team to win this season. We have an advantage with Western Conference rules.

Taz: I think the Atlanta Dream have a lot of potential, but I definitely think the Dragons are more likely to work together.

Callis: Of course they are. They’re the better team.

Trios Match: 10 Points
Daniel Garcia and 2point0 (Matt Lee and Jeff Parker) [Seattle Dragons]
Versus
Samoa Joe, Jonathan Gresham, and ‘Big Shotty’ Lee Johnson [Atlanta Dream]
The match starts with Gresham and Garcia having a bit of anything you can do I can do better with some chain wrestling. Gresham gets the upper hand. He tags in Samoa Joe who throws all three men on the Dragons around. He tags in Big Shotty who shows his athleticism. However, a double team by Lee and Parker give the Dragons the advantage. Quick tags as well as taking advantage of the lucha rules to get in and out quickly leave things looking bad for Lee. Garcia has a rear chinlock locked in, but Lee won’t give up. He escapes the hold and tags in Samoa Joe. The leader of the Dream trio dominates all three men before locking in the Coquina Clutch on Matt Lee to end the match.
Winners, Samoa Joe, Jonathan Gresham, and Lee Johnson [Atlanta Dream], 10 points

Taz: How about that, Callis? Your boys lost even with their home field advantage?

Excalibur: Home field advantage certainly meant nothing for the Dragons there. What dominance by Samoa Joe.

Callis: Nobody is questioning the ability of Samoa Joe, but you’re not always going to be able to count on one team member like that.

Excalibur: Well, in this next one, we know at least one team will have both members carrying their own weight.

Tag Team Match
15 Points
The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) [Seattle Dragons]
Versus
Maxwell Jacob Friedman and Wardlow [Atlanta Dream]
MJF and Wardlow jump The Young Bucks to start the match. They pull Nick into their corner and use quick tags to control him. MJF throws Nick over the top rope and taunts the crowd. He turns around to a superkick from Matt Jackson. The Bucks take advantage of the lucha rules to control MJF. They hit a Meltzer Driver, but Wardlow breaks the pin. MJF rolls to the floor making the other half of the Atlanta Dream team the legal man. Wardlow controls The Young Bucks for awhile, but they manage to hit some double team maneuvers to get the advantage. MJF gets to his feet and walks up the stage. Wardlow sees his partner doing this and looks upset. Dustin Rhodes and The Acclaimed come on stage and ask what he’s doing. Wardlow looks very upset and turns around to a Superkick Party! The referee misses Nick Jackson hooking the tights as The Young Bucks get the victory.
Winners, The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) [Seattle Dragons], 15 points

Callis: Yes! The Seattle Dragons are in the lead!

Taz: This next one is for all the marbles though, and I want to point out that your boy hooked the tights!

Callis: Who cares? A win is a win.

Excalibur: He got away with it here. If he had done that in the Central Conference, the match could’ve been reversed or worse. Now, it’s time for the final match of this game! Let’s send it to the ring.

Singles Match
20 Points
Bryan Danielson [Seattle Dragons]
Versus
Cody Rhodes [Atlanta Dream]
The match starts with Cody extending an offer of respect to Bryan Danielson. The hometown boy confers with the crowd before accepting the handshake. They lock up, and Danielson is clearly more capable. He whips Cody into three different nearfall situations out of chain wrestling. Max Caster and Anthony Bowens walk down the ramp. Dustin Rhodes stands on the stage yelling for them to come back. Cody goes to the floor and tells them he doesn’t need them. Danielson comes to the floor with a suicide dive taking all of them down. He throws a series of kicks at Cody on the floor. Bryan Danielson holds Cody while members of the crowd chop him. He then throws Cody back in the ring. Caster and Bowen go toward him, but Dustin goes down to get in the middle. The official gets to the floor to tell Dustin they need to get out of there. Danielson gets back into the ring where Cody hits him with a low blow! He follows up with a Cross Rhodes. The official slides back into the ring to make the count, but Danielson kicks out! Cody doesn’t believe it. Caster comes running back down to the ring. The official tells him to go back. Cody finally tells him to go back when he turns around to catch a running knee from Danielson! It’s over!
Winner, Bryan Danielson [Seattle Dragons], 20 Points

[Cameras cut back to Cathy Kelley.]

Kelley: What an exciting home team win for the Seattle Dragons! I’m sure their coach is proud! Don Callis is in the Dragon’s locker room for a few words.

Post Game
Atlanta Dream vs Seattle Dragons

Callis: Ricky, you won it 35-10 in the first game of WrestleSport! How did it feel?

Steamboat: Honestly, Don, it felt great. There are a few things we need to work out, but I think we have a promising season ahead of us. One thing I want to address publicly though is that there is no room for cheaters on the Seattle Dragons. This didn’t come up in training camp, so I’ll make it clear now. From here on out, anyone who cheats, whether it is caught or not, is benched the next week.

Danielson: And I just want to say if I can. This team is about making believers of dreamers. We may have the odds stacked against us, but I helped Ricky choose this team, and I believe in this team. We got the win tonight, and it’s the first of many!!!

Callis: All right, let’s send it to Taz.

[We cut to Taz in the Atlanta Dream locker room, but everyone is yelling.]

Cody: I didn’t need any help! Why did you come down there?!

MJF: They went down there because YOU were losing!

Cody: I was losing? You walked out on the team!

MJF: I walked out on the tag team match because I’m not a tag team wrestler. I thought Wardlow-

Samoa Joe: HEY! Jon, Lee, and I are the only ones who put any points up for this team so-

Taz: GUYS! We’re live!

[Dustin comes storming into the shot.]

Dustin: We don’t have any comment. Get the hell out of here.



Kelley: Well, there you have it. Tension in the Dream locker room. Let’s send it to Chicago for the pre-game presser.

Pre-Game
Twin City Lightning at Second City Saints

Cole: Good evening everyone, I’m Michael Cole. We’ve already got both teams out here, so we’re going to get right down to business. Tony Khan has the home field advantage, and he has decided to let Sean Waltman announce his trios team first.

Waltman: First of all, we may be in Chicago, but I know there are a lot of Twin City Lightning fans who made the trip today. Now, I look over at the Second City Saints, and I see a team with a lot of skill. One area where they have a deficit though where I believe we have a strength is speed. So I’m going to send out Lio Rush and Top Flight.

Khan: Wow, Sean. That is a great combination that I honestly wasn’t expecting. However, I think you’re wrong when you say we have a speed deficit. I’m going to prove that with the team of Mustafa Ali, Ethan Page, and Scorpio Sky. Now, for our tag team match, we have a couple of bad asses in Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston.

Waltman: That truly is an awesome team, but we’ve got a couple of bad asses, too. Their names are Tommy End and Brody King. Now, for the singles match. Kenny Omega-

[Rollins jumps up from the desk and over to the podium.]

Rollins: No! No no no no no. You are NOT benching me in Chicago. No way in hell. My fans are here. This is close to my backyard. You’re NOT going to embarrass me.

Waltman: Fine. Kenny’s out. You’re in. Who’s he facing?

Khan: I think we all know who he’s facing, don’t we Chicago?

[They chant CM Punk.]


Twin City Lightning at Second City Saints

Cole: Man, Pat, what do you think about Sean Waltman’s decision to bench Kenny Omega?

McAfee: Well, you only have one singles match, and I feel like Sean’s in a situation where he has two quarterbacks. Do you make one play a position? Or do you rotate them to keep them fresh? It’s an interesting coaching strategy.

Cole: We’ll see if it pays off. I would think the other strategy is to play the best players every week.

McAfee: But if they can’t function in a team, what’s the point?

Cole: True. Let’s send it down to the ring.

Trios Match
10 Points
Lio Rush and Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin) [Twin City Lightning]
Versus
Mustafa Ali and Men of the Year (Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky) [Second City Saints]
Ali and Rush start the match with neither man really being able to get the upper hand. Ethan Page blind tags himself into the match. He mocks Ali, but Rush catches him from behind. He brings Page into their corner, and the Lightning use some quick tags and high speed offense. The Chicago crowd desperately want Ali back in the match, but the Lightning keep Ethan in their corner. Darius Martin goes for a Shooting Star Press, but Page rolls out of the way. He’s about to tag Ali when he tags Sky instead. They work over Darius until they hit him with a double team move. Sky scores the pinfall.
Winners, Mustafa Ali and Men of the Year (Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky) [Second City Saints], 10 Points

Cole: The all important ten points go to the Second City Saints, but that was some selfish playing by the Men of the Year.

McAfee: I think a lot of teams are unprepared for what it takes to be successful in the trios division.

Cole: In the early weeks here, it’s going to be important to find that magic combination if you can.

McAfee: A lot of wrestlers aren’t accustomed to being a part of a team honestly.

Tag Team Match
15 Points
Kings of the Black Throne (Tommy End and Brody King) [Twin City Lightning]
Versus
Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston [Second City Saints]
Tommy End starts the match with Jon Moxley. The two of them attempt some mind games before they just decide to fight. Moxley works End into the SCS corner where Moxley makes the tag. They begin to exchange strikes, and End gets the upper hand. He forces Eddie into the TCL corner where they use some quick tags to put Kingston in a bad way. Brody is working all of the official’s five count, and when he reprimands King, End begins to choke Eddie with the tag rope. Moxley comes unhinged arguing with the official. Brody hits Eddie with a big boot causing him to fall to the floor. BRODY hits him with a suicide dive, but Eddie moves! Both men are down as the official begins counting them out. End jumps to the floor to check on his partner. Eddie attacks him and the three of them are fighting. The official stops counting and tells them to come back in. Moxley gets into the ring and hits a tope taking all three of them down. The official keeps counting. All four men are fighting on the floor when the official reaches nine. Moxley slides back into the ring, but the official calls for the bell.
Double Count Out. No Points Awarded

Cole: Moxley is furious! He wasn’t the legal man, so it didn’t matter that it got in the ring.

McAfee: Western Conference has a 20 count on the floor. Eastern Conference wants it to end in the ring at all costs. Not Central Conference.

Cole: That’s right, Pat. Our officials are fined for missed calls. The rules matter in the Central Conference, and these teams just learned the hard way.

McAfee: Well, I don’t think the Second City Saints care!

[Moxley and Kingston are still brawling with End and King on the floor. The rest of each team comes emptying out. Waltman and Khan are yelling at their teams to come back to their respective benches. Rollins grabs Punk and throws him into the steel stairs. Security comes rushing down, sending both teams into their areas. Punk is holding his back and neck as Rollins slides into the ring. He is demanding the referee call for the bell.]

Cole: Correct me if I’m wrong, Pat, but it’t not too late for Tony Khan to call a replacement, is it?

McAfee: Bell hasn’t rung yet. He could put Josh Alexander or Danhausen in there.

Cole: I think Punk is going to want to fight though.

McAfee: It looks that way.

Singles Match
20 Points
Seth Rollins [Twin City Lightning]
Versus
CM Punk [Second City Saints]
Rollins attacks Punk from the first bell. He digs his elbow into the injured shoulder. He presses him into the corner, but the official is holding him to the five count. Rollins stays aggressive and fights him to the center. He delivers a series of slams and suplexes all targeting the shoulder. Rollins takes the time to say Chicago is his country before lining Punk up for the stomp. Instead he targets Punk’s shoulder! He goes for the pin, but Punk kicks out. Rollins is furious, and Punk rolls to the floor holding his shoulder. Rollins his him with a baseball slide dropkick sending him into the guardrail. He rolls back into the ring and tells the official to start counting. Punk gets back in at six, and Rollins hits him with the stomp again. He then goes for the pedigree! Punk throws him over the back. He follows up with a series of strikes. The crowd is totally behind Punk. He goes for the GTS, but his shoulder gives out. Rollins hits the Pedigree this time, but Punk kicks out. Rollins looks for the third stomp. Punk moves out of the way. He trips him and applies the Anaconda Vice! Rollins is in the center of the ring with nowhere to go. He taps!
Winner, CM Punk [Second City Saints], 20 points

[Cuts back to Cathy Kelley]

Kelley: Wow. What a great victory for CM Punk and the Second City Saints. I wasn’t expecting the Twin City Lightning to get shut out. Let’s send it to Michael Cole.

Cole: Tony Khan! A great way to start the season.

Khan: Yeah, I didn’t think it was going to be a sweep at all, but obviously I’m very happy.

Cole: Are you at all concerned about the double count out in the tag match?

Khan: A bit. We obviously need to tighten that up, but at the same time, everything that happened there would’ve been fine in the Eastern or Western Conference. Mox and Eddie are going to be big players on away games.

Cole: Congratulations again. Let’s send it to Pat.

[The cameras cut to Pat McAfee in the Twin City Lightning locker room. Everyone is sitting quietly except Sean Waltman who joins Pat. They’re about to talk when Seth Rollins walks in.]

Rollins: THIRTY TO ZERO? Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me, Sean? You left Kenny on the bench? What the hell were you thinking?

Waltman: No comment, Pat.



Kelley: A great start for the Second City Saints and the Seattle Dragon. Thursday we’ve got two more matches for you. We’ll see another Central Conference battle as the Austin Stunners travel to the Memphis Kings and then Detroit Fuel of the Eastern Conference will host the LA Demons! We’ll see you then!

Kelley: Tonight we’ve got two more great games. Today’s coaches are no strangers to each other as Steve Austin’s Stunners head to Memphis to take on Jeff Jarrett’s Kings. We know there is animosity almost thirty years old with those two. Then later, we’ll see Konnan’s LA Demons take on Kevin Nash’s Detroit Fuel. These men were once partners in the nWo, but now they both have their own teams to lead to victory. Let’s head to Memphis!

Pre-Game
Austin Stunners at Memphis Kings

Cole: Welcome to Music City everyone. We’ve got our second Central vs Central match this week which means I get Sunday off! We are joined by the coaches of both teams. As the visiting team, Steve, you must announce your Trio first.

Austin: Well god damn kid, get right to the point. Ok. I look at our schedule this season, and I think this has to be one of our easiest games. No disrespect to the teams, but they easily have the least qualified coach…Other than maybe Russo. MAYBE. Anyway, last night Drew McIntyre and I were pouring back some cold ones, and he said ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if you did a Three Man Band reunion for the trio?’ And I said, got damn kid. Let’s do it!

Jarrett: Are you done? Sorry Michael. I know you were going to introduce me, but are you done? So I had this whole thing planned out around you taking this seriously, but we’re going to have to call an audible which is just fine because I’m talented enough to do that. You want to deliver 3MB? That’s fine, but I promised Bobby Lashley he’d get to kick Drew McIntyre’s ass tonight, so I guess they’re taking on The Hurt Business which means Zachary Wentz and Dezmond Xavier will be bringing the SPEED to the tag team match,

Austin: Well, as my friend and another guy your dad stiffed on pay, The Rock, said, it’s about speed, but it’s also about power. So I’m going to give you the team of Keith Lee and ACH. They’ve been opponents before, and tonight, they’re going to be teammates. As for my singles competitor. I know you don’t have anyone who can beat Sheamus.

Jarrett: I do, and his name is Shinsuke Nakamura!

Cole: Well, there you have it!


Austin Stunners at Memphis Kings

McAfee: You all right, Michael? That pre-game presser was a lot more intense than the others have been.

Cole: It certainly was. I hope both teams bring that intensity to their game today.

McAfee: I agree, but they’ll have to be careful. Our referees don’t mess around with disqualifications or count outs.

Cole: They certainly don’t. When upper management was trying to make each conference different, they decided this was going to be the law and order conference.

McAfee: Unfortunately Ice Cube isn’t going to show up if you break the law though.

Trios Match
10 Points
3MB (Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal, and Drew McIntyre) [Austin Stunners]
Versus
The Hurt Business (Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, and Cedric Alexander) [Memphis Kings]
Drew McIntyre starts out the match dominating Benjamin and Alexander. He says he wants Lashley, and the leader of The Hurt Business tags himself in. He and Drew lock up, and the crowd is in awe. Neither man can get the upper hand. Lashley powers Drew into his own corner, and Jinder makes the tag. He gets face to face with Lashley, but he does not win that encounter. Mahal gets taken into the Memphis corner and worked over. He tries to get back to Drew, but Lashley launches him into McIntyre knocking him off the apron. Lashley smiles at what he’s done, and Heath Slater tags in. He goes right for Lashley, but it’s like a fly hitting a wall. He locks in the Hurt Lock, and Slater surrenders immediately.
Winners, The Hurt Business (Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, and Cedric Alexander) [Memphis Kings]

Cole: How dominant is Bobby Lashley?

McAfee: He’s truly a force, but we didn’t really get to see Lashley and Drew go head to head!

Cole: You’re right, Pat. I know that was one we were hoping to see. Right now it’s time for some tag team action though.

McAfee: You’re right two native Texans in Keith Lee and ACH against Wentz and Xavier of The Rascalz.

Cole: Lee and ACH have been opponents before but never partners to the best of my research.

McAfee: If I’m Stone Cold, I’m trying every possible combination in training camp. With injuries, suspensions, and the like, you never know what you’re going to have to come up with.

Tag Team Match
15 Points
ACH and Keith Lee [Austin Stunners]
Versus
The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz and Dezmond Xavier) [Memphis Kings]
The match starts with Keith Lee throwing the Rascalz around and demonstrating his superior strength. Trey Miguel actually gets up from the bench to make his way down to the ring. He cheers on his boys, but the official keeps an eye on him. Lee locks eyes with him, but he insists he comes in peace. Lee goes back to work on Wentz. He tags in ACH, and things are looking good for the Stunners. Lance Archer also gets up from the bench and comes marching down yelling and cussing. The official tells him to go back, but he points to Miguel, and she shrugs. ACH gets distracted by the altercation, and the Kings take advantage once again. They hit a variety of double team moves, and Xavier goes for the pin. Lee jumps to the floor and pulls ACH out of the ring. The Stunners are conferring as the official is yelling at Lee. Wentz goes off the ropes and jumps OVER the official to dive onto ACH, Lee, and Archer! Miguel and Xavier help Wentz back into the ring as Lee throws ACH in near him so he can tag. Archer slides into the ring and CHOKESLAMS WENTZ! The official calls for the bell.
Winners, by DQ, The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz and Dezmond Xavier) [Memphis Kings] 15 Points

Cole: Well, that’ll cause a DQ in any league.

McAfee: Right you are, Michael. Archer lost his cool and cost his team points.

Cole: Well, we’re in an interesting predicament now. It’s mathematically impossible for the Austin Stunners to win.

McAfee: Right, but there are still individual points at stake. The top sixteen wrestlers in the league will participate in the All-Star Tournament which takes place during the season break.

Cole: The winner of the All-Star Tournament then gets to choose which team he will compete for next season.

McAfee: So let’s get it going.

Singles Match
20 Points
Sheamus [Austin Stunners]
Versus
Shinsuke Nakamura [Memphis Kings]
Sheamus hits Shinsuke with a Brogue Kick as soon as the bell rings. He throws Shinsuke to the floor. The official is screaming at him. He drags Shinsuke by the hair over toward his team’s bench. He points to them and throws Nakamura into the guardrail. He hits him with another Brogue Kick before throwing him back into the ring. He goes for the pin, but NAKAMURA KICKS OUT! The crowd doesn’t believe it. Sheamus goes for another Brogue Kick, but Nakamura ducks. Big Exploder Suplex! 1..2…NO! Nakamura gets in position for the Kinshasa…Sheamus picks him up and delivers a one arm powerbomb. He then gives him an Irish Curse Backbreaker. He pulls Shinsuke’s shoulders off the mat on a two count. The official reprimands him as he goes to the corner. Nakamura gets up slowly. The Brogue Kick is the death blow. It’s over.
Winner, Sheamus [Austin Stunners] 20 Points

Kelley: What a win for the Memphis Kings. Sheamus certainly showed his mean streak. Let’s send it to Michael in the Memphis locker room.

[Cuts to Michael Cole in the Memphis Kings locker room.]

Cole: Thanks Cathy. Well, Jeff, you got your first win.

Jarrett: That’s right. We are starting off this season strong. The Austin Stunners underestimated us. I had a different strategy in mind at-

[Finn Balor walks into the shot.]

Balor: Mr. Jarrett. A word.

Jarrett: Kinda in the middle of something here, Finn.

Balor: I didn’t appreciate being benched.

Jarrett: Like I said, it wasn’t what I planned, but who cares? We won.

Balor: Please make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Jarrett: Can we have this conversation later?

Cole: Sorry guys. I have to send it to Pat.

[Camera cuts to Pat McAfee.]

McAfee: Lost two straight to Memphis. Tough loss.

Austin: I admit it. I underestimated Jarrett. He’s got a damn good team. I knew that. I think we’ve got some hot heads we’ve got to keep under control, but I don’t think you saw a good preview of what you can expect from the Austin Stunners. Next week, we’ve got the Twin City Lightning in Conference play again. We’re bigger than all of those guys. You’re going to see a whole new Austin Stunners.



Kelley: It will be interesting to see inter-conference battle in the Central Conference again next week, but now it’s time to get our first taste of the Eastern Conference. We’re sending it to Tony Schiavone in Detroit where the Fuel will be hosting the LA Demons.

Pre-Game
LA Demons AT Detroit Fuel

Schiavone: Thanks Cathy! I’m Tony Schiavone, and no, it’s not 1998. However, the two men I’m about to introduce were there for all of the big ones! It’s Konnan’s LA Demons and Kevin Nash’s Detroit Fuel! Konnan, go ahead and tell us who will be representing the LA Demons in the Trios Match.

Konnan: Thank you, Tony. I don’t have a lot to say about this one. We’ve got the best trio in the league in my opinion. I’m talking about Death Triangle. Pentagon, Fenix, and PAC! What you got that can go up against those three, Big Kev?

Nash: Well, you want to match speed? How about Jimmy Jacobs and the Motor City Machine Guns. We’ll also have your number in the tag team division when The Good Brothers pick up the win.

Konnan: I can assure you they’re no match for Santana and Ortiz. As for the main event, it’s gotta be my team captain. Johnny WrestleSport. Of course, I’m talking about John Morrison. He’s gonna rough up whoever you got.

Nash: Is that right, K-Dawg? Well, I’ll have you know your boy Johnny WrestleSport is going up against a PHENOMENAL opponent. It’s AJ Styles, and he’s going to have the big man, Omos, in his corner.

Konnan: You have to cheat to beat us?

Nash: Whoa. Who said anything about cheating? I want him out there to learn from the best.

Konnan: Ok. I gotchu. I respect. Dominik is going to be ringside for Johnny as well.

Schiavone: It’s time guys. Let’s go to the ring!


LA Demons at Detroit Fuel

Schiavone: Welcome to the first home game in the Eastern Conference!

Taz: That’s right, Tony. We do things our own way here. Relaxed rules, referee’s discretion.

Callis: An absolute madhouse.

Schiavone: We have Don Callis, the voice of the Western Conference here to provide us with some analysis on the Western conference.

Trios Match
10 Points
Death Triangle (Pentagon, Fenix, and PAC) [LA Demons]
Versus
Jimmy Jacobs and The Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin) [Detroit Fuel]
Jimmy and Penta start the match. They immediately engage in a strike battle, and it’s clearly going to be a fight. A plethora of closed fists are thrown. Penta busts Jimmy open early in the match. The official gets in the middle to check the cut when Alex Shelley tags in so his partner can get checked on. Fenix calls Penta for a tag. Shelley and Fenix have a battle of speed awing the crowd. Fenix works Shelley into the Death Triangle corner, and PAC also takes his turn. The Bastard has Shelley right where he wants him. He goes for the Red Arrow, but Shelley moves! He tags in Sabin who comes in and cleans house. He has Penta right where he wants him, but Jimmy Jacobs calls for the tag. He comes in and hits a series of punches on Pentagon. However, Penta throws Jimmy into the corner while he gets triple teamed by Death Triangle. Penta and Fenix then knock the MCMG off the apron while PAC hits the Red Arrow!
Winners, Death Triangle (Pentagon, Fenix, and PAC) [LA Demons], 10 Points

Callis: I’m going to make a prediction right now. I bet Death Triangle will go undefeated in Trios action this season.

Schiavone: Bold prediction from Don Callis, but it’s a hard one to argue.

Taz: LA Demons aren’t bad in the tag team division either, but they have a tall challenge with The Good Brothers.

Schiavone: Will the LA Demons pick up the victory in two matches like we just saw with The Memphis Kings?

Taz: I don’t think so. Proud n Powerful are tough, but don’t underestimate The Good Brothers.

Tag Team Match
15 Points
Proud n Powerful (Santana and Ortiz) [LA Demons]
Versus
The Good Brothers (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) [Detroit Fuel]
The Good Brothers jump Santana and Ortiz right at the bell. They are fighting them all over the ring area. Gallows takes Ortiz and throws him into the stairs. The Good Brothers take Santana back in the ring and double team him. The referee forces Gallows to the corner. Anderson works Santana over for a while, and Ortiz is still on the floor. Gallows jumps down to the floor and hits Ortiz with a big boot when he is about to get up. Things are not looking good for Santana. Anderson and Gallows make a series of quick tags and have him right where they want him. Finally, they hit the Magic Killer! They go for the pin! Ortiz hits a frog splash breaking the pin! Gallows rolls to the floor, but Santana catches him with a dive! Ortiz goes for the pin.
Winners, Proud n Powerful (Santana and Ortiz) [LA Demons]

Schiavone: That win came from out of nowhere, and the away team has won it in two!

Callis: I’m going to celebrate!

Schiavone: Not yet! We’ve got one more match.

Taz: Who cares about him?

Singles Match
20 Points
John Morrison [LA Demons]
Versus
AJ Styles [Detroit Fuel]
They lock up and impress the crowd with some fast paced back and forth action. Styles gets the advantage and goes for the first pin on Morrison. He kicks out, and Styles rolls to the floor. He starts talking to Omos, and Morrison is offended by this. He gets on the apron to ask Styles if he’s coming back into the ring. Omos comes over and nearly makes eye contact with Morrison who’s on the apron. Styles pulls Johnny down and the two begin to fight on the floor. AJ throws him into the guardrail and starts chopping him. Dominick watches from a distance as Omos stands closer. Styles punctuates the chops with a slap in the face.This wakes something up in Morrison, and he looks pissed. He chases Styles around the ring only to be hit by a big boot from Omos. Styles rolls into the ring and tells the official to start counting. Mysterio goes over to check on Morrison and help him back to his feet. The referee reaches seven before Johnny is back in. AJ catches him with a Styles Clash and it’s over.
Winner, AJ Styles [Detroit Fuel] 20 points

[Camera cuts back to Cathy in the studio.]

Kelley: Wow! Two games in a row with the same score. AJ Styles essentially stealing that victory. Let’s send it to Don Callis in the LA Demons locker room.

[It cuts to the locker room.]

Callis: Konnan, you got the victory tonight, but you couldn’t get the clean sweep.

Konnan: Yeah, I was confident we had what it took to win in the Trios and Tag divisions. Honestly, that’s all it takes to win, but I am going to be focused on building up our singles division.

Andrade: I’ll tell you two things you’re not going to do. You’re not going to bench me, and you’re not going to book that little puta Dominick-

Dominick: Hey! What’s your problem?

Andrade: You didn’t do ANYTHING out there! You didn’t do anything to help-

Morrison: I didn’t want his help!

Andrade: Little boy, if you want to be successful, you listen to Andrade. Not Konnan. Not John Morrison. Not your stupid dad. Only Andrade.

Konnan: Enough! We won!

Callis: All right, Taz is with the losers.

[The camera cuts to the Detroit Fuel’s locker room where AJ Styles is with Taz.]

Taz: AJ, where’s your coach?

Styles: Oh he’s pissed because he thinks I can carry this team by myself. I can’t be in every match. I can’t carry this team by myself. He’s got some work to do.



Kelley: Thanks so much for joining us for the Thursday night games! This Sunday it’s going to be the New York Titans heading to Denver to battle the Swerve, and the Philly Revolution will host the OKC Cowboys! We’ll see you then!

Kelley: Tonight we have two more big games for you! In New York City, the Titans are going to host the unconventional Detroit Swerve. Then, we see the Oklahoma Cowboys taking on the Philly Revolution. Let’s head to the Big Apple!

Pre-Game
Denver Swerve at New York Titans

Schiavone: Ladies and gent-

Reigns: Tony. You are in OUR house. You don’t speak unless we invite you to speak.

Schiavone: Sorry, but-

Reigns: Did I invite you to speak?

Schiavone: No. Sorry.

Reigns: You keep speaking, but I haven’t invited you. Tony…Would you like to speak?

Schiavone: I’d like to introduce the matches.

Reigns: Well, Tony. This is New York. We don’t do things the way they do things everywhere else. In the main event, I am going to win the singles match. Before that, you’re going to see the greatest tag team today, Jimmy and Jey Uso. As for the trios match, well, if you wanted to see the New York Titans truly dominate, you’d put The Bloodline in there as well. However, Shane’s got to think about an eleven week season. He’s got to protect his team captain. He’s got to protect the greatest tag team. So Shane, tell them who’s going to do their best to have the first clean sweep in WrestleSport history.

McMahon: It’s going to be the Undisputed Era, Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, and Kyle O’Reilly!

Schiavone: All right, well, Vince Russo is next, but he doesn’t appear to be here yet.

[Vince Russo appears on the screen.]

Russo: It’s a swerve, bro. I’m actually in Denver. I don’t travel anymore, bro. For uh, the trios it’s gonna be Chuck Taylor, Rocky Romero, and Xavier Woods, bro.

Schiavone: Those guys barely know each other? You’ve got two great trios on your team.

Russo: That’s what they planned for. This is a swerve, bro. For the tag team match, it’s gotta be Wheeler Yuta and Rocky Romero. Then for the main event, it’s gonna be the Superman Punch vs the Orange Punch.

Schiavone: You’re benching Big E and Kofi Kingston?

Russo: That’s the swerve, bro!

Schiavone: Well, at least we’ll get the Superman Punch vs the Orange Punch. Let’s head to the ring!


Detroit Swerve at New York Titans

Schiavone: All right. We’ve got-

Miz: Hold on, Tony. Taz. Don. I am The Miz, and I’m awesome, and these New York Titan fans PAID to experience The Miz.

Taz: So you’re gonna-

Miz: I’m going to join you on commentary and tell you just how AWESOME the New York Titans are!

Callis: Great…

Trios Match
10 Points
Rocky Romero, Chuck Taylor, and Xavier Woods [Detroit Swerve]
Versus
The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly, and Bobby Fish) [New York Titans]
The Swerve team is discussing who is going to start the match when the Undisputed Era jump them. The two teams fight around the ring, and the official is trying desperately to get the match in the ring. Finally, Bobby Fish and Xavier Woods start the match. Woods manages to get Fish into their corner, and Chuck Taylor tags in. He does ok, but Fish gets to his own corner to O’Reilly. They double team Taylor for a spell ignoring the official’s count until he threatens a DQ. Things are not looking good for Taylor. They keep him in the corner, and they tag in Adam Cole who hits the win with the Panama Sunrise.
Winners, The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, and Kyle O’Reilly) [New York Titans], 10 Points

Miz: That was awesome! What a Panama Sunrise! Loved that for the Undisputed Era. That’s what the New York Titans are all about! That’s my team!

Taz: You done?

Miz: No! I’m not done! I’m supporting my team no matter what! They’re the best out there.

Schiavone: Well the action isn’t stopping.

Callis: Neither is his mouth.

Tag Team Match
15 Points
Trent Beretta And Wheeler Yuta [Detroit Swerve]
Versus
The Usos (Jimmy and Jey) [New York Titans]
Jey Uso and Wheeler Yuta start the match. Jey tells Yuta to lay down. Yuta shakes his head no. Uso seems impressed by the moxy. He offers him a handshake. When Yuta goes to accept it, Jey slaps him in the face. He then throws a superkick knocking Beretta off the apron. He is increasingly aggressive toward the young Yuta pushing him into the corner. He tags his brother Jimmy, and things are not looking good for Wheeler. The New York Titans use quick tags to make it look desperate for Yuta. He escapes the corner and is going for the tag when MIZ PULLS BERETTA OFF THE APRON. The referee is yelling at Miz while Jimmy and Jey hit Yuta with stereo splashes. Jimmy pulls the tights as he covers Yuta.
Winners, The Usos (Jimmy and Jey) [New York Titans]

Schiavone: Is that really how the New York Titans want to win?

Callis: I’m not happy the Titans won, but who cares, Schiavone? You do whatever it takes to win.

Schiavone: Harder to get a DQ in the Eastern Conference, relaxed rules. I still didn’t like that.

Taz: I have to agree with-

Miz: HOW AWESOME ARE THE USOS? DID YOU GUYS SEE THAT?

Singles Match
20 Points
Orange Cassidy [Denver Swerve]
Versus
Roman Reigns [New York Titans]
Reigns and Cassidy stare off to start the match. Orange puts his hands in his pockets, and that infuriates the Tribal Chief. He goes off the ropes for the Superman Punch, but Cassidy ducks. He rolls forward and kips up to the joy of the crowd. However, he turns around to a SPEAR! He delivers a series of punches to the downed Cassidy. He then stalks his prey waiting for Cassidy to get up. SUPERMAN PUNCH! He then locks in a guillotine choke. Cassidy passes out.
Winner, Roman Reigns [New York Titans]

Post-Game
Denver Swerve at New York Titans

Kelley: Well, there we have it folks. That was our first blow out. Let’s send it to Taz in the back with the New York Titans.

[It cuts back to the locker room.]

Taz: Shano, tonight you guys picked up victories in all three matches.

McMahon: That’s right. We had a plan, and-

Miz: That was AWESOME! That was the most must see-

Reigns: Excuse me. Miz. Stay out of The Bloodline’s business. We did not NEED you to beat the Denver Swerve. Let tonight’s victory be a message to every other team out there. You will NOT beat us. You can NOT hang with us. You WILL ACKNOWLEDGE US. You will acknowledge The Bloodline.

McMahon: And the New York Titans.

Reigns: Whatever.

Taz: All right. Let’s send it to Don Callis.

[Camera cuts to Don Callis in the Denver Swerve lockerroom.]

Callis: Well, the only ones who seem to be back here are Big E and Kofi Kingston.

Kingston: Tonight, our brothers were humiliated. They were embarrassed.

Big E: They were set up to fail by a General Manager who didn’t even have the decency to show up.

Kingston: Don Callis, let me tell you this much. If Vince Russo doesn’t have the decency to show up next week, we will take matters into our own hands.

Big E: If he sets us up to fail again, we will NOT comply.



Kelley: A very tense situation in the Denver Swerve locker room. Now, let’s send it to the City of Brotherly Love for our last match of Week One.

Pre-Game
OKC Cowboys at Philly Revolution

Schiavone: Tonight, two voices of a generation lead their teams into battle as JR’s OKC Cowboys challenge Paul E’s Philly Revolution. JR, as the away team, you will announce your trio first.

Ross: I’ve never been one who has been gravitated toward high speed and high flying action, so I was really unsure what I was going to do when it came time to pick a trio. However, I heard about a group of bad asses who were right up my alley. I’m going with The Second Gear Crew, Mance Warner, Matthew Justice, and the 1 Called Manders!

Heyman: You may have a group of bad asses, but I have a group of assassins. Team Taz builds assassins. That’s why my trio is Powerhouse Hobbs, ‘Absolute’ Ricky Starks, and…

[The crowd starts chanting “Send Hook”.]

Heyman: YOU WANT ME TO SEND HOOK?!

[The crowd pops.]

Heyman: Eh…Well, what the hell do you know? The third man in the trio is Cesaro!

[The crowd boos.]

Heyman: My tag team is two gentlemen who are very capable of doing it themselves, Tomasso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano!

Ross: Well, now that’s a damn good tag team, Paul, but they’re not the best tag team in the league in my opinion. Of course, I believe the best tag team in the league is FTR. That’s why they’re my pick.

Schiavone: Go ahead and announce your pick for the singles match now, too, Jim.

Ross: I know…I was just taking a minute. This isn’t easy. In my opinion, Brock Lesnar is probably one of the most violent, powerful, dangerous singles competitors in this league. To risk injuring my Team Captain on the first week feels like a mistake.

Page: Stop! I can handle it!

Ross: It’s not worth it, Adam! I need you for ten more weeks, kid. You want to be out there in his corner? Fine. But I’m playing Sammy.

Heyman: I have to admit, JR. I wasn’t expecting you to be such a smart coach. If you’re going to sacrifice someone to the Beast Incarnate, BROCK LESNAR, it might as well be a little speck like Sammy Guevara. If I hadn’t prepared Brock Lesnar for a fight, I might have given him the night off.


OKC Cowboys at Philly Revolution

Schiavone: Tony Schiavone back with Taz and Don Callis for another clash between the Eastern and Western Conference.

Callis: You guys may have dominated us in the last match, but the OKC Cowboys are a much tougher team.

Schiavone: I actually agree with you, Don. I think this could be one of the closest matches of the week.

Taz: Nah, they ain’t tougher than Team Taz.

Trios Match
10 Points
The Second Gear Crew (Mance Warner, Matthew Justice, and 1 Called Manders) [OKC Cowboys]
Versus
Cesaro and Team Taz (Powerhouse Hobbs and Ricky Starks) [Philly Revolution]
The match starts with SGC jumping Cesaro and Team Taz. The crowd is into it because they’re thirsty for blood. Manders hits Starks with the Iowa Stampede before the official even has the match going. He then pulls out a door! Hook is on the floor, and tries to take the door, but Manders hits him with a right hook, pardon the pun. Inside the ring, Hobbs has taken the door and set it up in the corner. He powerslams Mance through it. Manders gets in the ring and gets in the face of the Powerhouse. This one is a pier six. Justice and Cesaro jump Hobbs and Manders, and the thing is going wild. Cesaro swings Manders and follows up with a sharpshooter. The Cornbelt Cowboy is trying to get to the ropes when Starks grabs the referee. Cheap shot from Hook knocking Manders out. Starks intercepts Justice. It’s over!
Winners, Cesaro and Team Taz (Powerhouse Hobbs and Ricky Starks) [Philly Revolution], 10 points

Taz: Team Taz. We build assassins. Hahahaha.

Schiavone: You build cheaters is what you build.

Taz: Come on, Tony. Manders put his hands on Hook first. Only way that win could’ve been better is if Hook had been in the match.

Callis: Well, you’re not going to win the next one.

Tag Team Match
15 Points
FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) [OKC Cowboys]
Versus
DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tomasso Ciampa) [Philly Revolution]
The bell rings and Wheeler and Ciampa start the match. They chain a bit, and Ciampa gets the better of Wheeler. The crowd is clearly behind the Philly team, but FTR doesn’t care. Ciampa has control of the match when he tags in Gargano. Johnny hits Cash with a lot of fast paced offense, and he gets a few nearfalls. He goes for one more pin when Dax comes in and breaks it. He hits Johnny with a swift kick to the head before pulling him into their corner. Cash makes the tag, and now Gargano is in a world of trouble. FTR successfully cuts the ring in half, and things are not looking good for DIY. It gets to the point Dax locks Gargano in a camel clutch across from Ciampa laughing at the fact he can’t get to his partner. Tomasso comes in and breaks the submission. Cash comes in though and throws Johnny to the floor before they hit Ciampa with Big Rig. They pin him, but Johnny jumps back in to break it up. They hit Gargano with the Big Rig, and Dax pins him with a handful of tights.
Winners, FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) [OKC Cowboys]

Taz: FTR steal one. Why was the referee counting Ciampa when Johnny was the legal man? It’s not luchar rules here like it is in the Western Conference. There was no tag.

Callis: Well, the OKC Cowboys are a Western Conference team where it IS Lucha rules, so maybe that’s why, Taz.

Schiavone: Well, it IS referee’s discretion in Eastern Conference, so technically, he doesn’t owe an explanation to anyone.

Taz: Eh, who cares? It’s time for Brock Lesnar to murder Sammy Guevara.

Singles Match
20 Points
Sammy Guevara [OKC Cowboys]
Versus
Brock Lesnar [Philly Revolution]
Sammy Guevara slides out of the ring when the bell rings and grabs a chair. The official goes to take it from him, but Brock pushes the referee out of the way. He throws the chair down and hits Sammy with some body punches in the corner. He then biels him out of the corner. He hits him with a German suplex with a bridge. The official makes the count…SAMMY KICKS OUT. Brock is incensed. He hits about ten German suplexes before going for an F-5. He goes for the pin again, but he pulls Sammy’s shoulders up. He goes for another F-5, but he accidentally throws Sammy into the referee! Brock is trying to get the official up when HANGMAN’S MUSIC PLAYS. Page runs down to the ring. BUCKSHOT LARIAT! Brock is down. BROCK IS DOWN! Hangman grabs the chair and is swinging it like wild on Lesnar. Team Taz starts down to the ring, but SGC runs out to intercept them. Hangman hits Dead Eye on the chair and drags Sammy onto Brock and revives the referee. 1…2…3!
Winner, Sammy Guevara [OKC Cowboys] 20 Points

[It cuts back to the studio.]

Kelley: Wow! Talk about an impressive win! Let’s send it to the Cowboys’ locker room where the victory party has no doubt begun.

Post-Game
OKC Cowboys at Philly Revolution

[Don Callis is in the OKC Cowboys locker room when Adam Page and SGC carry Sammy Guevara in.]

Ross: SAMMY! SAMMY! SAMMY! Damn kid, you pulled off a miracle!

Callis: A miracle?! He had the help of Adam Page and SGC.

Ross: The OKC Cowboys are a team, Don. They went into the wild wild west that is the Eastern Conference, they played by their rules, no rules, and they won. Who can fault them for that?

Page: JR, this worked this week. Next week I need you to let me fight though.

Ross: All right, kid. You want it next week? You got it!

Callis: Let’s send it to the Philly Revolution locker room.

[It cuts to the other locker room where Paul Heyman and Taz are waiting.]

Taz: Paul, wat the hell happened out there?

Heyman: I’ll tell you what happened. ‘Hangman’ Adam Page signed a death warrant.

Taz: Paul, you won’t see Hangman again until the Wild Card Rumble at the earliest, but realistically, you wouldn’t see him again until the playoffs.

Heyman: You’re right, Taz. That would be the next time we’d see them in a sanctioned game.



Kelley: Ominous words from Paul Heyman. What could he mean by that? Well, that’s week one in the books. Check out today’s scores, the week one conference rankings, and we’ll see you Monday for Week 2!



Week 1 Conference Standings

This is fucking awesome. Finally replacing the ART filled hole in my life!

Kelley: Welcome to Week 2 of Season One here at WrestleSport. Tonight, we’re going to see the Philly Revolution head to Denver to take on the Swerve. Then, in our featured match, it’s another Western Conference war as the Seattle Dragons take on the LA Demons. Let’s send it to Excalibur in Denver!

Philly Revolution at Denver Swerve
Pre-Game

Excalibur: Hello everyone, I am-

Heyman: Stop wasting people’s time. I JUST got off a flight from Philadelphia because apparently this league’s management thinks it’s fair to have us in the last game on Sunday at home, then hop on a plane for the first game Monday because THAT makes a lot of sense. Anyways, since we’re facing the worst team in the league today, I want to see what some of my rookies can do. My trio is going to be Lee Moriarty, Hook, and Powerhouse Hobbs.

Excalibur: All right, Vince, now it’s time for you to announce your trio and your tag team.

Russo: Bro. I know. I just did one of these yesterday, too. For my trio, since I have a team that has no faith in my vision apparently, my trio is going to be The New Day. As for my tag team, how about Chuck Taylor and Wheeler Yuta?

Heyman: Fine. I’m going to deliver a team I hope can redeem themselves from yesterday, Johnny Gargano and Tomasso Ciampa. Now. For my singles match, I’m not going to make the biggest star on my team wrestle two days in a row if he doesn’t want to because I know how to treat my stars. So Brock, do you want to wrestle somebody?

Lesnar: I don’t want to wrestle somebody…I want to hurt somebody.

Russo: Well, Orange Cassidy is still a little banged up from facing Roman Reigns yesterday, so how about a guy I think has a lot of potential, Trent Berett?

Excalibur: There you have it. The matches are set. Let’s send it to the ring.



Excalibur: Excalibur joined by Don Callis and Taz.

Callis: Interesting match up as both of these teams just played yesterday.

Taz: I just want to point out that in this opening match you got four guys who were on the bench yesterday. Big E and Kofi Kingston for the Swerve and Lee Moriarty and the handsome devil Hook for Team Taz…Or rather, the Philly Revolution.

Excalibur: That will, no doubt, play a hand in tonight’s game.

Trios Match
10 Points
Lee Moriarty and Team Taz (Powerhouse Hobbs and Hook) [Philly Revolution]
Versus
The New Day (Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods) [Denver Swerve]
Kofi and Hobbs start the match when Hobbs points to Big E. The crowd pops as the two big men come face to face. They exchange strikes and the power of both men is evident. Big E uses his experience to work Hobbs into the corner before tagging in Xavier Woods. The PhD uses his speed to hit the big man hard and fast which works great until it doesn’t. Hobbs throws Woods across the ring, trapping him in the Revolution corner. Quick tags leave Woods in trouble. Moriarty tries a variety of submissions, but Woods will not stay down. The finally send Hook and he throws Xavier over the top rope with a Saito Suplex. Kofi takes advantage of the lucha rules, knocks Hook out with a Trouble in Paradise. Hobbs has the sense to pull Hook out before Kofi can pin. Kingston takes Hobbs down with a Trouble in Paradise of his own. Moriarty comes in, but he gets caught with the Midnight Hour.
Winners, The New Day (Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods) [Denver Swerve]

Excalibur: Denver Swerve tallying their first points of the season, and The New Day will be quite the hard team to beat in Trios action.

Callis: I agree, but it’s only ten points. They need someone who can pick up the victory in tags or singles if they want to get the victory.

Excalibur: Well, they’ll have to try to do that in the next one.

Taz: I wouldn’t bet on Yuta and Taylor getting past DIY.

Excalibur: Johnny Gargano and Chuck Taylor are no strangers to each other.

Tag Team Match
15 Points
DIY (Tomasso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano) [Philly Revolution]
Versus
Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Wheeler Yuta) [Denver Swerve]
Johnny Gargano and Chuck Taylor start the match with a handshake which turns into a hug. Ciampa looks slightly agitated by this, but they do start chain wrestling. Taylor retreats after Gargano gets the upper hand, and Yuta tags himself in. He shows Gargano what he’s capable of as a technical wrestler getting Johnny in some dangerous predicaments. Ciampa desperately wants to get into the match, and finally, he does. He asserts a lot of dominance in the match, and things are not looking good for Yuta. He tries to get back to Taylor, but he gets hit with the Fairy Tale Ending.
Winners, DIY (Tomasso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano) 15 Points

Excalibur: We’re at one win a piece, and this puts a lot more pressure in the men in the main event.

Taz: Come on, Excalibur. We know the main event is a foregone conclusion.

Callis: We saw just last night that Brock Lesnar can have an off night. Don’t you think Hangman Page and Sammy Guevara are in his head?

Taz: Maybe. But that would be bad news for Trent.

Lesnar barely waits for the bell to ring to pounce. He hits Trent with an F-5. He then hits him with 15 German Suplexes. The official calls for the bell when Trent isn’t moving.
Winner, Brock Lesnar [Philly Revolution] 20 Points

[It cuts to the studio.]

Kelley: Brock Lesnar is certainly in a bad mood as the Revolution pick up their first win. Let’s send it to the Philly Locker Room now with Taz.

Post Game
Philly Revolution at Denver Swerve

Taz: Paul, congratulations on your first win.

Heyman: Our first of many. I thought our trio did great out there, honestly. The New Day is one of the greatest factions of all time. There is no shame in losing to them. DIY got their redemption like I hoped they would, and Brock Lesnar made quick work of Adam Page.

Taz: That wasn’t Adam Page. That was Trent Beretta.

Heyman: Don’t tell Brock Lesnar that.

Taz: What are your plans for next week?

Heyman: Next week? This week isn’t over. I hear Oklahoma City is nice this time of year.

Taz: Well, let’s send it to Don Callis in the loser’s locker room.

[They cut to the Swerve locker room, and Russo is yelling at everyone.]

Russo: It should’ve been a swerve bro! We were too predictable this week. We should’ve swerved them! Right Orange? Tell ‘em Orange!

Cassidy: Whatever.

Callis: I don’t think there’s too much to say here.



Kelley: We’ve got a big Western Conference match between two undefeated teams in the Seattle Dragons and the LA Demons. Let’s send it to the pre-game.

Seattle Dragons at LA Demons
Pre-Game

Excalibur: Welcome to a Western Conference grudge match as the Seattle Dragons take on the LA Demons. Ricky, announce your trio.

Steamboat: Thanks. Garcia and 2point0 came up short last week. Garcia impressed me most out of those three, so I’m going to put him in there with Chris Hero and Daniel Makabe.

Konnan: Respect. All three of those guys have great technique. However, we’re bringing a new combo of speed and strength, it’s going to be PAC, Santana, and Ortiz. I know that’s probably not what you trained for, but Pentagon and Fenix demanded an opportunity against The Young Bucks.

Steamboat: Well, Konnan, that’s exactly what they’re going to get. As for the singles match, Bryan Danielson will continue to prove why he’s the best in the world.

Konnan: Well, he’s not going to have an easy task. He’s going up against Andrade.



Trios Match
10 Points
Daniel Makabe, Chris Hero, and Daniel Garcia [Seattle Dragons]
Versus
PAC and Proud N Powerful (Santana and Ortiz) [LA Demons]
PAC and Makabe start the match with some scientific wrestling. The veteran clearly underestimates the young Makabe early on, so he picks up the speed to get things more his style. He pulls out his ruthlessness and demands Hero be tagged in. The veteran on the Dragons’ team steps into the match. They have an exchange that results in PAC turning up the speed again and using his superior cardio. He then uses quick tags with his partners to put Hero in a bad way. He’s blown up and clearly needs to tag a young Daniel. Proud N Powerful go for a double team move, and Hero rolls to the floor. Garcia remembers it’s lucha rules and attacks Ortiz from behind. Hero pulls himself onto the apron and NAILS Ortiz with an elbow. Garcia then rolls him up and pulls the tights!
Winners, Daniel Garcia, Chris Hero, and Daniel Makabe [Seattle Dragons]

Callis: Hero got him with the loaded elbow pad!

Excalibur: You don’t know that it was loaded! What we do know is Daniel Garcia deliberately disobeyed his coach by pulling the tights.

Callis: You don’t know he pulled the tights.

Excalibur: I saw it with my own two eyes! He’s going to be benched next week. Either way, let’s send it to the ring for a big tag team match!

Tag Team Match
15 Points
The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) [Seattle Dragons]
Versus
The Lucha Bros (Pentagon and Fenix) [LA Demons]
This one starts with both teams going at it nonstop. The referee is trying to get one in and one out, but that is clearly easier said than done. Matt Jackson and Fenix dive onto their opponent’s brothers on opposite sides of the ring. All four men are down on the floor. Pentagon uses the ring announcer to help himself up and then helps himself to their chair. He slides into the ring waiting for a Buck as the official keeps counting. Nick slides in and the referee grabs the chair from Pentagon, but he still gets the advantage on Nick throwing him into his corner. They use quick tags, and Matt desperately wants to get into the match. Fenix goes high risk and gets a near fall. He goes for the pin again, and Matt comes in to break it. The official is pushing Matt back to his cornern when Pentagon throws the chair back into the ring. Fenix shakes his head, and Nick gets to the corner and tags Matt. He comes in with a house of fire and takes down both men. Matt calls for the Meltzer driver, and he looks like he’s thinking about dropping Fenix on the chair. Nick yells “It’s not worth it!” Fenix then pulls Nick off the apron and throws him into the ring post. Pentagon escapes Matt and they hit the Fear Factor double stomps on the chair! Pentagon scores the pin.
Winners, Lucha Bros (Pentagon and Fenix) [LA Demons], 15 points

Callis: That was stupid!

Excalibur: The Young Bucks not wanting to be benched next week decided not to use the chair.

Callis: It was stupid. They deserved to lose.

Excalibur: Matt Jackson also got dropped on his neck on a steel chair for his troubles.

Singles Match
20 Points
Bryan Danielson [Seattle Dragons]
Versus
Andrade [LA Demons]
The match starts with Andrade offering a handshake. When Danielson doesn’t take it, Andrade rolls to the floor and starts to lecture Dominick Mysterio. Bryan goes over and tells him to get into the ring, but Andrade slaps him. Danielson goes off the ropes and delivers a plancha, but Andrade pulls Mysterio into the way. He then delivers several kicks to Danielson before throwing him into the guard rail. He looks at Dom and demands he make sure Danielson doesn’t get back into the ring. He rolls in and demands the referee count his opponent out. Mysterio lets Danielson get up and clearly thinks about attacking him, but he doesn’t. Andrade gets right on his opponent when he gets back in the ring and berates Dominick while he destroys Danielson. The crowd gets behind the American Dragon as he starts building his comeback. He hits the Running Knee! He goes for the pin, but Dominick puts Andrade’s foot on the rope. Danielson sees this and goes to the floor to berate Dominick. Andrade goes to the top to moonsault onto the Dragon, but Bryan pulls Mysterio into the line of fire! He hits Andrade with a few more kicks on the floor. The official reaches twelve in his count, and Danielson thinks about taking the count out, but he lifts Andrade back into the ring. He goes to get back into the ring himself, but Mysterio grabs his leg. Andrade hits Danielson with a cheap shot and brings him back into the ring. He goes for the Hammerlock DDT, but Bryan kicks out! Andrade is livid and mounts Danielson. He’s throwing punches, and the official starts pulling him off. Danielson has the wherewithal to apply the LeBell Lock! It’s over.
Winner, Bryan Danielson [Seattle Dragons] 20 Points

[It cuts back to the studio.]

Kelley: Another 20 points for Bryan Danielson. He’s proving why he’s the best in the world, and he’s cementing his spot in the All-Star Tournament. What a win for the Seattle Dragons. Let’s send it to Excalibur in the Dragon locker room.

[It cuts to Excalibur in the Dragons’ locker room.]

Excalibur: Ricky, Seattle Dragons have now become the only 2-0 team in the league so far. I know it’s early, but how did you feel about the victory tonight?

Steamboat: I’m excited to be 2-0.

Excalibur: Last week, you said anyone who cheated would be benched. Do you want to address that?

Steamboat: Yeah. We saw Garcia pull the tights which really disappoints me. We also saw Hero with the loaded elbow-

Hero: It wasn’t loaded.

Steamboat: How do you explain knocking someone out with one elbow strike?

Hero: I can show you if you’d like.

M.Jackson: Can we also talk about the fact that we would’ve won the tag team match if we weren’t worried about whether or not we could use a chair.

N.Jackson: Ricky, you really need to analyze what we’re doing here.

Hero: I want to know if I’m benched or not.

Danielson: Hey! Hey! Hey! This is not how a TEAM behaves. Especially a winning team. There’s a camera in here guys. This is a private conversation. We’ve got the OKC Cowboys next week, and I’d like to win. We have a strategy to prepare. Thank you Excalbur.

Excalibur: All right. Let’s send it to Don in the Demons’ locker room.

[It cuts to Don in the Demons’ locker room.]

Callis: Tough loss tonight, Konnan. Your record moves to one and one. How are you feeling?

Konnan: Pretty shitty, obviously. PAC, Santana, and Ortiz was a new trio. I didn’t know how that was going to go honestly. I hoped they would win, and I’m bummed they lost. I thought the Lucha Bros brought it to The Young Bucks, and I’m happy they scored points for the team for the second week in a row. That mean something. As for Andrade-

Andrade: As for Andrade, what?

Konnan: You NEVER had a great chance beating one of the best in the world like Bryan Danielson, why the hell were you more focused on Dom at ringside than you were at winning your damn match?

Andrade: Excuse me?I’m trying to toughen up the weakest member of our team who only got signed because of who his dad is. I’m trying to show him how to be successful in this business.

Konnan: Well, the only thing you showed him how to do this week was tap like a bitch.

[Andrade is about to put his hands on Konnan when Santana, Ortiz, and Death Triangle get between them. Konnan yells that he’s sorry, flips a bench, and leaves the room.]



Kelley: Well what a way to start off Week 2. There’s clearly trouble in both of those camps. We’ll see how it plays out as the season continues. Thursday we will have the Twin City Lightning head down to Austin as both teams attempt to capture their first win. Then, the Detroit Fuel goes to Oklahoma to try and unseat the undefeated OKC Cowboys.


[/b]

Kelley: Hello and welcome back! We’ve got two exciting games taking place today. The first game will be a showdown in the Central Conference between the Twin City Lightning and the Austin Stunners. The second game will be a battle of the East and West as the Detroit Fuel head to Oklahoma City to try and capture their first win against the Cowboys!

Twin City Lightning at Austin Stunners
Pre-Game

Cole: Good evening everybody! We’ve got a great matchup today. Both teams are trying to pick up their first win. Sean, who are you playing in the trios match?

Waltman: I’ve had a lot of time to evaluate my decisions from last week. I think Rollins has a lot of potential as a leader and a player coach, so I want to put him with Top Flight.

Austin: Got damn kid. Now that’s a trio. However, our biggest advantage over y’all is size. We’re going to prove that with our lineup this week. In trios action, it’s going to be Jinder Mahal, Keith Lee, and Rhyno! Then in tag team action, it’s gonna be the Celtic Connection, Drew McIntyre and Sheamus.

Waltman: I do my best with the odds stacked against me, so that doesn’t bother me at all. For my tag team, I was really impressed with Tommy End and Brody King, but they got disqualified. I can’t have that. I’m going to try the new duo of Matt Sydal and Lio Rush. As for the singles, I’m playing the guy I made the mistake of benching last week, my team captain, Kenny Omega.

Austin: Well, he’s gonna face the guy I benched last week. The Murderhawk Monster, Lance Archer.


Twin City Lightning at Austin Stunners

Cole: We’ve got some interesting matches in this game.

McAfee: I agree. Both teams are switching up their strategy, which I think is smart. I think deficiencies in coaching cost both teams last week.

Cole: Well, both teams are 0-1, and unless we have three draws, that will change.

McAfee: Never know in the Central Conference. Our referees are the most strict.

Trios Match
10 Points
Seth Rollins and Top Flight (Dante and Darius Martin) [Twin City Lightning]
Versus
Jinder Mahal, Keith Lee, and Rhyno [Austin Stunners]
The crowd is singing “Ohhhh Bask in his Glory” as Keith Lee faces off with Seth Rollins! The Limitless one begins to conduct his choir when Jinder tags himself in. The crowd boos, and Mahal is met with a spin kick to the head from Rollins. He rocks the bigger man and works him into their corner. He tags in the Martin brothers who awe the crowd with their athleticism. They fly around the ring and leave Jinder in a bad way. The fans are begging him to tag Keith Lee, so he tags Rhyno. The War Machine comes in hot, and things aren’t looking good for Darius. He desperately needs to get to the corner and tag. He makes it to Rollins who hits Rhyno with a flurry of offense. Dante then gets a near fall on Rhyno. He goes to tag Lee, but Mahal intercepts. Keith asks what the hell that is all about, and Jinder says he cannot be stopped. DANTE ROLLS HIM UP!
Winners, Seth Rollins and Top Flight (Dante and Darius Martin) [Twin City Lightning] 10 Points

Cole: I think we’d call that an upset!

McAfee: I agree. Miscommunication from the Austin Stunners causing major problems.

Cole: The Twin City Lightning getting the first points on the board.

McAfee: If they can win the tag match, they’ll have the victory. That will be no easy task though.

Tag Team Match
15 Points
Lio Rush and Matt Sydal [Twin City Lightning]
Versus
The Celtic Connection (Drew McIntyre and Sheamus) [Austin Stunners]
The match starts with Drew and Sydal. The smaller man tries to use his speed to his advantage, but eventually he gets stopped. Drew uses his power to assert himself before tagging in his partner, Sheamus. The Celtic Warrior mocks Sydal’s inability to get to his partner as he asserts his strength. Lio Rush tries to get the Texan crowd behind his partner, but it’s no easy task. Sheamus is absolutely ruthless in his punishment of Sydal. He finally gets the tag to the fresh man, and the crowd is behind Lio. He awes the crowd with his offense. However, Sheamus manages to move out of the way of a high impact move. He hits a Brogue Kick before tagging Drew back in. McIntyre hits the Claymore, and it’s over.
Winners, The Celtic Connection (Drew McIntyre and Sheamus) [Austin Stunners]

McAfee: All tied up. Winner takes all!

Cole: We said earlier, one of these teams is going to come out with their first win.

McAfee: Both of these guys were on the bench last week, so this is our first time seeing either of them.

Cole: Well, we saw Lance Archer get involved in the tag team match.

Singles Match
20 Points
Kenny Omega [Twin City Lightning]
Versus
Lance Archer [Austin Stunners]
Archer jumps Kenny when the bell rings much to the dismay of the crowd. He fights him into the corner. The official is calling for a break, and Archer works the count to four. He does not break cleanly and he whips Omega into another corner. He comes in with a big boot before choking Kenny in the corner with his boot. The official calls for the break again. Archer waits until four again. He finally works Kenny into the center of the ring where he gets several near falls. He becomes increasingly agitated with the official even getting in his face. The referee threatens a disqualification. Archer goes to the floor and starts looking under the ring for weapons. Heath Slater comes down and asks him what the hell he’s doing. Omega uses the break to catch his breath and dives onto both of them. The official starts the count out, and Omega hits a V-Trigger on the floor. He slides back in, and Archer gets in at the last second, but he gets caught…One Winged Angel!
Winner, Kenny Omega [Twin City Lightning] 20 points

[It cuts to Cathy Kelley in the studio.]

Kelley: A very impressive victory for the Twin City Lightning. The Austin Stunners move to 0-2. Let’s send it to Michael Cole in the Lightning locker room.

[It cuts to Michael Cole in the Lightning locker room.]

Cole: Sean, your first win, congratulations!

Waltman: It felt good. I thought everybody brought their strengths tonight. Even Matt and Lio fought hard against a bigger team. I’m proud of us. It was a great win.

Cole: Congrats again, coach. Let’s send it to Pat in the Stunners’ locker room.

[It cuts to Pat in the Stunners’ locker room.]

McAfee: Steve, you move to 0-2. Not ideal. How does it feel?

Austin: It sucks. I think we learned a lot about our team tonight though. I think we learned a lot about what our team needs to do to be successful. Loved what The Celtic Connection did in the tag team match, but I don’t know that I can afford to not have one of them in the singles match every week. Archer has a temper which would be great if we were an Eastern Conference team where you basically have to kill a man to get disqualified. We’re not though, so he’s going to have to get that temper under control.

McAfee: Did you send Heath Slater down there?

Austin: I did. I was very afraid he was going to get disqualified, and then he lost the whole damn thing!

McAfee: Next week you have the New York Titans.



Kelley: The Austin Stunners are not off to a great start. Let's send it to Oklahoma City for the next match!

Detroit Fuel at OKC Cowboys
Pre-Game

Excalibur: Thank you Cathy. We want to welcome Kevin Nash and the Detroit Fuel to Oklahoma City. As the away team, you must announce your trio first.

Nash: No problem Excalibur. JR, how the hell are ya?

Ross: Doing good, big man.

Nash: Glad to hear it. All right, last week, he stood in AJ Styles’ corner. This week, I need to see what he can do in the ring. The big man, Omos is going to team up with The Good Brothers.

Ross: Damn. That’s a big team, but I’ve got three guys who have just as big of heart. Talking about the Second Gear Crew; Manders, Matthew Justice, and Mance Warner. They came up short last week, but this week I think they can get it done. As for my tag team, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. I’m going with FTR.

Nash: I had a feeling you would. That’s why I’m bringing the most experienced tag team on my team, Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin. The Motor City Machine Guns. And looking to seal the victory for us, AJ Styles in the singles spot.

Ross: AJ Styles is one phenomenal athlete. No argument there, but I just don’t think he can beat my cowboy, ‘Hangman’ Adam Page!

Excalibur: What a card! Let’s send it to the ring.



Excalibur: Excalibur here joined by Don Callis from the Western Conference and Taz representing the Eastern Conference.

Taz: This opening fight is going to be a good one.

Excalibur: Fight is the correct word. All six of these guys are brawlers, and they want to get their team off to a winning start.

Callis: The Cowboys are already ahead as they have one win, but they’ve never faced anyone like Omos.

Trios Match
10 Points
Omos and The Good Brothers (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) [Detroit Fuel]
Versus
Second Gear Crew (Mance Warner, Matthew Justice, and 1 Called Manders) [OKC Cowboys]
Mance Warner looks under the ring before the match starts and throws a cooler in the ring. The SGC boys offer the Detroit Fuel a beer. All six men crack open a cold one when The Good Brothers spit beer in the eyes of Mance and Justice! Those four men fight to the floor while Omos attacks The 1 Called Manders. All six men are going at it, and the official isn’t trying to get it under control. The Good Brothers get control on the floor and go under the ring for a table. They set up a table only to get jumped by SGC on the floor. Justice sets up another table while Mance goes in the ring to save Manders from the giant Omos. They work over the big man two on one, and the official says one of them needs to go to the corner. Manders rolls out of the ring while Mance fights Omos onto the apron. Justice and Manders grab Omos. Mancer goes off the ropes and hits Omos with a lariat causing him to fall through both tables! Gallows and Anderson jump Mance and hits him with the Magic Killer. Justice breaks up the pin and fights Gallows to the floor. Manders rolls back in, hits Karl with a lariat of his own, and scores the pinfall!
Winners, Second Gear Crew (Mance Warner, Matthew Justice, and 1 Called Manders) [OKC Cowboys], 10 points

Excalibur: What a wild contest we just witnessed!

Taz: There’s no way SGC would’ve gotten the win if they hadn’t neutralized Omos.

Callis: Even I have to agree with that one, Taz.

Excalibur: A huge win for OKC nonetheless. Now they have to have the same success in the tag team match.

Tag Team Match
15 Points
Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin) [Detroit Fuel]
Versus
FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) [OKC Cowboys]
Alex Shelley and Cash Wheeler start the match. Shelley uses his combination of speed and technical ability to get control early on. He pulls Wheeler into their corner and uses quick tags with Sabin to dominate. Wheeler rolls to the floor, and Sabin is about to dive onto him when Harwood hits him from behind when he’s going off the ropes. FTR take advantage of the lucha rules to take advantage of the match. They get in and out quickly while making things bad for Sabin. He desperately needs to get to Shelley for the tag. Finally he escapes Wheeler and tags in Shelley who comes in with a house of fire. He takes down both men. In the excitement, his momentum throws him over the top rope. They pull the injured Sabin back into the ring. Big Rig. It’s over.
Winners, FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) [OKC Cowboys]

Taz: Damn it! The lucha rules played into FTR’s favor again.

Callis: And the Cowboys have won it!

Excalibur: We will still have the final match as it factors into points for the rankings as well as the All-Star standings.

Singles Match
20 Points
AJ Styles [Detroit Fuel]
Versus
‘Hangman’ Adam Page [OKC Cowboys]
The match starts with Page offering Styles a handshake. He accepts. The two former Bullet Club members lock up. They have a respectful back and forth, but Styles gets the advantage. He goes for an early pin, but Hangman powers out. AJ locks on a chinlock, but the crowd gets behind the Cowboy. He gets back to his feet and hits a flurry of offense. Styles gets back to his feet, and they exchange strikes. They lock up again, but the crowd’s interest clearly shifts to PAUL HEYMAN and BROCK LESNAR filing into the arena. Page and Styles don’t notice at first, but when Hangman does, he goes to the floor. He jawjacks with Lesnar and Heyman who flash their tickets. Styles dives to the floor sending Hangman into Lesnar. The referee yells for both of them to get into the ring. Heyman whispers something to Styles who throws Hangman back into the guardrail before jumping back into the ring. The official gets to twelve as Page gets to his feet. Styles grabs the referee and cries out in pain that his knee may be hurt. The official calls for the doctor who slides into the ring. Lesnar jumps over the rail and hits Page with an F-5! Styles’ knee miraculously recovers as the official reaches 20.
Winner, AJ Styles [Detroit Fuel] 20 Points

[It cuts to the studio.]

Kelley: Well, that interference from Brock Lesnar is certainly not going to go unnoticed! Let’s send it to Don Callis who’s with the winners, the OKC Cowboys.

[It cuts to the OKC Cowboys locker room.]

Callis: 2-0 OKC Cowboys, how about that victory?

Ross: Victory?! What the hell? Brock Lesnar just jumped the guardrail and put his hand on my top guy. I’m going to the office tomorrow morning, and I better get some damn answers.

Callis: Who cares? You won the match.

Ross: We won. Yippee. I’m so happy that we won. They just tried to take out my captain in the second week! What the hell!

Callis: Well, I guess we’ll send it to Taz.

[It cuts to Taz.]

Taz: Nash, another hard loss.

Nash: Yeah, things aren’t going the way we want them to. We do have one piece of the puzzle figured out though.

[AJ Styles walks by Nash without saying anything.]

Nash: AJ!



Kelley: We have two big matches on Sunday. The Memphis Kings look to stay on their winning ways as they face the Atlanta Dream. Meanwhile, it’s a clash of the big dogs as the Second City Saints go head to head with the New York Titans. The Saints will have the home field advantage. We also hope to have an update on the Brock Lesnar situation.

Kelley: Welcome to the Sunday games for Week 2 of Season 1! I am Cathy Kelley, and tonight we have two huge games. We will see the Memphis Kings look to pick up their second win against the Atlanta Dream. We will also see two teams destined for the playoffs as the New York Titans travel to the Second City Saints. I have also been asked to announce that the WrestleSport Legal Team will have an official announcement in regards to Brock Lesnar. Let’s send it to Atlanta where Tony Schiavone is standing by.

[It cuts to Tony in Atlanta.]

Schiavone: Thank you Cathy! Please welcome Jeff Jarrett’s Memphis Kings and Dustin Rhodes’ Atlanta Dream! Jeff, go ahead and announce your trios team.

Jarrett: Last week, we picked up the victory in the trios match, but when I think of a Trios Match, I think of high flying excitement. I am sending The Rascalz into trios action tonight!

Rhodes: They will be taking on Jonathan Gresham and The Acclaimed.

Caster: Atlanta Dream whoopin’ on the Memphis Kings
But we’ll make it less painful than when Jeff Jarrett sings
We facing the Rascalz, but not the ones who play ball
Platinum Max and Anthony are gonna score the fall.

Bowens: ATLANTA! The Acclaimed have arrived!

Rhodes: Our tag team is going to be MJF and Wardlow again.

Friedman: What? Dustin! What did I tell you?! God, you’re dense.

Jarrett: Well, are y’all done talking? I’m putting Shinsuke Nakamura and Finn Balor in the tag match tonight, and I’ve got Bobby Lashley in the singles match.

Dustin: Lashley in the singles? I wasn’t prepared for that. You know what? I’m going to call an audible. Samoa Joe is facing Lashley tonight.

Cody: You’re benching me?!

Schiavone: Let’s send it to the ring!


Memphis Kings at Atlanta Dream

Trios Match
10 Points
The Rascalz (Trey Miguel, Zachary Wentz, and Dezmond Xavier) [Memphis Kings]
Versus
Jonathan Gresham and The Acclaimed (Max Caster and Anthony Bowens) [Atlanta Dream]
The Rascalz get early control with their high speed offense and quick tags. Things are looking good until Bowens takes a cheap shot on Miguel from the apron. The Acclaimed double team Miguel from some quick tags. He desperately needs to get to his corner. Caster and Bowens continue the double team. Caster asks Gresham if he wants to tag in, but then he doesn’t let him. During this nonsense, Miguel gets to the corner and tags in Dez who takes Caster and Bowens down. He gets a nearfall on Caster, but Gresham makes the save. He then asks Gresham if he wants some. The submission expert tags himself in. He does well against Xavier, but then he gets worked into their corner. The Rascalz use speedy offense and frequent tags to put Gresham in a bad way. He fights all three men off, and he desperately crawls for his corner. Bowens makes the tag and continues the offense. He goes for a pin on Wentz, but there is a foot on the rope. Caster then distracts the referee while Bowens grabs the boombox. Gresham yells at his partner for cheating. They struggle over the boombox, but Gresham gets it away from him. Bowens walks into a flurry of offense from The Rascalz to get pinned.
Winners, The Rascalz (Trey Miguel, Zachary Wentz, and Dezmond Xavier) [Memphis Kings]

Taz: Gresham should’ve minded his own damn business there.

McAfee: Especially in the Eastern Conference where the rules are more of a subtle suggestion.

Schiavone: I don’t know, guys. I think a shot with the boombox would’ve been a disqualification.

Taz: Only if the referee saw it.

Tag Team Match
15 Points
Shinsuke Nakamura and Finn Balor [Memphis Kings]
Versus
MJF and Wardlow [Atlanta Dream]
Wardlow starts off the match against Nakamura. He uses his power to his advantage, and MJF is shouting encouragement. Wardlow catches Nakamura early with a powerbomb, but Balor makes the save. Nakamura gets to the corner and makes the tag. Balor impresses the crowd with his offense on Wardlow, but it doesn’t seem to be enough. The big man is just too powerful. Cody Rhodes comes down to the ring. He tells MJF to tag in. Then, Cody jumps up on the apron and says he will be Wardlow’s partner now. The official tells him that isn’t how it works. While Cody, MJF, and the referee are arguing, Wardlow gets hit with 1919, a Kinshasa, and a Coup De Gras. MJF pushes Cody off the apron, and the official turns around to count the pin for Balor.
Winners, Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura [Memphis Kings] 15 Points

McAfee: Cody just cost his team right there!

Taz: This Atlanta losing streak isn’t going to end unless those guys get on the same page.

McAfee: Easier said than done I’d say.

Schiavone: Well, we’re still going to have the singles match, and these two are no strangers.

Singles Match
20 Points
Bobby Lashley [Memphis Kings]
Versus
Samoa Joe [Atlanta Dream]
The match starts with the two eyeing each other up. They start the match exchanging hard strikes. The crowd is loving the heavyweight fight. Joe lands a nasty uppercut and gets control of the match. Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin start walking down to the ring. Joe spies them, and he dives to the floor taking both of them out. As he’s getting back to his feet, Lashley attacks him on the outside. He throws Joe into the steel stairs. He slides back into the ring and demands the referee start the 20 count. Cody Rhodes and Lee Johnson come down to the ring. Lee helps Joe to his feet while Cody is watching Alexander and Benjamin. Joe thanks Lee for the help, and he slides back into the ring. Lashley unloads a series of offensive moves. He hits him with the Dominator. Joe kicks out at the same time Cody jumps on the apron. The official is yelling at Cody while Lashley fights Joe into the corner. Joe reverses the situation in the corner. He gets Lashley onto the top turnbuckle. He’s going for a superplex when Benjamin grabs his ankle. Johnson runs around to counter Benjamin while Cody gets on the apron. Joe lands Lashley in the middle of the ring with the superplex! He pins Lashley, but the official is tied up with Cody. Joe looks up to see what is going on, and Lashley throws up his arm for a low blow. Cody gets ejected while Alexander and Benjamin double team Johnson. Lashley hits the Dominator one more time before going for the pin.
Winner, Bobby Lashley [Memphis Kings] 20 Points

[It cuts to Cathy in the studio.]

Kelley: Wow. A clean sweep. The Atlanta Dream is looking more like a nightmare now quite frankly. Pat is in the Memphis locker room. Let’s send it to him.

[It cuts to Pat in the Memphis locker room.]

McAfee: Jeff, your team got the clean sweep today. Quite the line up you had. You’re undefeated! How does it feel?

Jarrett: It feels good, Pat, but at the same time it doesn’t. Last week, we were underestimated. This week, well, Dustin sure does have a lot of problems down there. We got the win. We got the points, and I want to celebrate! Maybe I’ll go sing Max Caster a song.

McAfee: I love it! Let’s send it to Taz.

[The camera cuts to Taz with Dustin Rhodes.]

Taz: Not only did you move to 0-2 this week, Dustin, you got swept.

Dustin: Yeah, Taz. We’ve got problems. There’s no denying it.

Joe: We have ONE PROBLEM, and his name is Rhodes.

Dustin: Hey! I agree Cody should’ve stayed out of the matches tonight, but-

Cody: What the hell was I supposed to do? I was the team captain, and I was on the bench! You’re putting all of the blame on me rather than addressing the MJF problem. The Jonathan Gresham problem.

Dustin: Cody, I agree with you. Everybody had problems this week. I don’t know why Joe is putting all of the blame on you.

Joe: I never said Cody. I said Rhodes.

Taz: Back to you, Cathy!



Kelley: Well, that is not good for the Atlanta Dream. Let’s send it to Chicago where the Second City Saints are about to welcome the New York Titans.

New York Titans at Second City Saints
Pre-Game

Cole: Welcome to the pregame for the New York Titans against our own, Second City Saints! Since you’re the visiting team, New York, you must announce your trio first.

Reigns: Maybe you didn’t watch last week, Michael. The New York Titans SWEPT their opponents in their opening game. We played the perfect game. Making any changes to our game would be foolish. It will be Adam Cole and reDRagon securing ten points in the trios match. The Usos will secure fifteen points in the tag team match. I will be bringing home twenty points in the singles match.

Cole: Is that right, Shane?

Reigns: Of course it is.

McMahon: You heard the man.

Cole: All right. Tony Khan, what’s your line up?

Khan: Thanks Michael. I suspected Roman and Shane would come in with this strategy, so I am ready with my whole line up as well. Josh Alexander and The Men of the Year will be in the Trios match.

Sky: Don’t you mean Scorpio Sky and The North?

Page: Don’t you mean Ethan Page and both of his partners?

Kingston: Knock that shit off! We’re not gonna bicker like every other team in this league. When our GM is talking, try to have some respect.

Khan: Thanks Eddie. For the tag team match, it’s going to be CM Punk and the partner of his choosing, Danhausen.

Miz: Hold on just a minute. You need to put your team captain in the singles match. We prepared Roman for Punk.

Khan: No, actually, I don’t. I’m putting Roman against the guy who knows him better than just about everyone in this league. He’s going to face the unhinged, Jon Moxley.

Miz: That is not right!

Reigns: Shut your ass up! I’ll whoop anybody.

Kingston: Hey, uh, before the Second City Saints beat New York, which I honestly have mixed feelings about being from New York and all. I just wanted to say I’m really bummed that I didn’t get to beat the crap out of The Miz tonight because, well, that’s always been a dream of mine.

Punk: It IS fun.

Cole: Let’s send it to the ring.


New York Titans at Second City Saints

Cole: Michael Cole joined by Pat McAfee and Taz. What did I do to deserve this?

Taz: That’s gotta be what the Second City Saints are asking themselves as they’re about to get their asses beat by the Titans.

McAfee: Chicago is at home though which isn’t nothing.

Cole: True. Central Conference rules are very strict. Our referees are fined if they miss a call.

Trios Match
10 Points
The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, and Kyle O’Reilly) [New York Titans]
Versus
Josh Alexander and The Men of the Year (Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky) [Second City Saints]
Alexander and O’Reilly start the match. They do some chain wrestling, and the crowd is impressed by the mat technique of both men. Alexander has the strength and size advantage which is clear. O’Reilly uses his speed to force them toward his corner. Fish tags himself in, and he begins to work on Alexander. The official calls for a clean break, and the rules are playing a factor for the Titans. That doesn’t stop them from taking advantage of every four count they can. Alexander desperately needs to get back to his corner. Cole goes for the Panama Sunrise, but Alexander uses his power to block it and turn it into an Alabama Slam. He tags in Page, and they start to work on Cole. Things are looking good for the Saints until Cole tags in Fish. They get a lot of quick tags on Sky. Cole hits the Panama Sunrise, and reDRagon intercept The North as Cole scores the victory.
Winners, The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, and Kyle O’Reilly) [New York Titans] 10 Points

Taz: And all things are right with the world! We won!

Cole: It’s still early, Taz.

Taz: You think you’re beating The Bloodline?

McAfee: Anything can happen!

Tag Team Match
15 Points
The Usos (Jimmy and Jey) [New York Titans]
Versus
CM Punk and Danhausen [Second City Saints]
Jimmy and Danhausen start the match, but the crowd is chanting for Punk. Jimmy points to Punk, and when Danhausen is about to tag him, Jimmy jumps him. Uso is pretty proud of the ruse he pulled on Danhausen. The Usos double team the very nice, very evil demon, and the crowd is hungry for a fresh Punk. Finally, Danhausen gets there. He comes in and takes both Usos down. He soaks in a ‘CM Punk’ chant before he gets chop blocked by Jey. They work over his knee, and the crowd hates them. Punk hits a flurry of strikes before tagging Danhausen back in. Jimmy runs at him, but Danhausen ducks and throws Jimmy to the floor. Tequila plays, Danhausen does the Tequila dance, and Danhausen hits the Tequila kick. He must follow the rules so he throws Jimmy back into the ring and goes for the pin, but Jey breaks it. Danhausen instructs Jey to get out of the ring, but he hesitates. He then yells “YOU ARE CURSED!” Jimmy tries to roll Danhausen up, but he kicks out. He tags Punk who hits Jimmy with a GTS! He goes for the pin, and Jey tries to break it; Danhausen stops him. Jimmy kicks out anyways. Punk applies the Anaconda Vice! It’s over!
Winners, CM Punk and Danhausen [Second City Saints]

McAfee: He tapped out! He tapped out! Your boy tapped out!

Taz: Would you shut up?

Cole: The New York Titans just took their first L of the season!

Taz: They’re not going to lose this one though!

Singles Match
20 Points
Roman Reigns [New York Titans]
Versus
Jon Moxley [Second City Saints]
Reigns jumps Moxley as soon as the bell rings. He shouts “We are NOT losing this”. He fights him into the corner, and the official calls for a clean break. Roman breaks on four, but he goes right back in. The referee calls for the break again, but he takes another four count. The official is yelling at him, and he gets right back in the referee’s face. Moxley is a little loopy, but he hits Roman with a double ax handle from behind, sending him into the referee. The official is down, and Moxley shrugs. He delivers a flurry of strikes to Roman. The Miz comes running down to the ring and is about to attack Moxley when he gets jumped by Eddie Kingston! The crowd pops as Eddie fights Miz up the ramp. Moxley hits the Paradigm Shift, but the referee is still down. He slides out of the ring. He looks underneath, but there’s nothing there. He goes over to the timekeeper’s table and he drags it toward the ring. The official is starting to come to, so he heads back into the ring attacking Roman. They exchange blows, and Reigns throws him hard into the corner near the table. He splashes Moxley in the corner. The official heads toward them still regaining his footing. Roman sees how close the table is and lifts Moxley onto the top turnbuckle. The official starts counting, Moxley starts swinging. Both men are fighting at the top rope when suddenly Moxley grabs Roman…PARADIGM SHIFT OFF THE TOP ROPE THROUGH THE TIMEKEEPER’S TABLE! NEITHER MAN IS MOVING.
Double Count Out. No points awarded.

[It cuts to Cathy in the studio.]

Kelley: The New York Titans who were projected to go undefeated this season suffer their first loss in Week 2! Let’s send it to Pat in the Saints’ locker room.

[It cuts to Pat in the Saints’ locker room.]

McAfee: What a win, Tony! Talk about an upset.

Khan: I know they were projected to go undefeated this season, but I was still feeling pretty confident that we could beat them. I knew the adjustments I made were going to make a difference. I think putting Moxley in the Singles Match threw them off, and I knew Punk would be able to pick up the win in the tag.

McAfee: Ultimately, it came down to good strategy and great coaching. Congrats. Taz!

[It cuts to Taz in the Titans’ locker room. Shane McMahon is the only one in there.]

Taz: Tough loss, Shane.

McMahon: The Saints were one of two or three teams I was worried about this year and for good reason. We clearly weren’t prepared for their strategy, and this time, the better team won. Undisputed Era still managed to put up points. You can’t argue that, and we can say that we’ve never been pinned. Punk’s got a great submission in the Anaconda Vice, so I guess we ate a little humble pie today. From the son of one billionaire to another, congrats, Tony.

McAfee: Thanks Shane. Hopefully, we’ll get an update on both Roman and Moxley’s conditions.



Kelley: Well, as I promised, we’re now going to cut to the WrestleSport Legal Team with a major announcement regarding Brock Lesnar and Hangman Page.



Otunga: As you all witnessed, Brock Lesnar jumped the guardrail and hit Adam Page with an F-5 wrestling maneuver during the match between Adam Page and AJ Styles this past Thursday.

Sterling: The Legal Team as well as the management team are disgusted by the actions of Brock Lesnar. This is a legitimate sport, and we do not condone people showing up and interfering in other teams’ games.

Otunga: We have spoken with Jim Ross of the OKC Cowboys as well as Paul Heyman of the Philly Revolution. They are both interested in seeing these two men have another in ring confrontation. At this time, we don’t see how that is possible outside of the playoff season.

Sterling: Therefore, it will not happen. What WILL happen, however, is a two-game suspension for Mr. Lesnar. He will also be on probation for the remainder of the season which means any further infraction will be subject to a suspension for the remainder of the season.

Otunga: We believe this punishment to be firm but fair. Thank you for your time.

[It cuts back to Cathy.]

Kelley: Wow. What an announcement from the legal team. A two game suspension for Brock. Well, that’s a wrap for the Sunday Games, but as always, we’ll have a standings update.


Week 2 Standings

Kelley: Hello, I’m Cathy Kelley, and it’s Monday once again. The schedule makers were not kind this week as we will see two teams we just saw yesterday compete again. The Atlanta Dream will go all the way to LA to hopefully pick up their first win against the Demons. Then, the Memphis Kings travel to Minneapolis in hopes of keeping their undefeated streak alive against the Twin City Lightning! But first, we head to Los Angeles.

Atlanta Dream at LA Demons
Pre-Game

Excalibur: Thank you, Cathy. As the away team, Dustin you will announce your trio first.

Dustin: Well, Excalibur. We just had a game yesterday, then we had to fly halfway across the country. And I’ve been thinking this whole time. There are three men who have made this process exceedingly difficult so far. Three men who don’t seem to know the meaning of the word team. So tonight, they are going to have to get on the same page. I’m talking about Samoa Joe, MJF, and my brother, Cody.

Konnan: Well, their teamwork skills are about to be tested against the best trio in the game. I’m talking about the Death Triangle! You do give me an idea though, Dustin. Andrade, you are so preoccupied with Dominick Mysterio, why don’t you team with him tonight?

Dustin: Well, K-Dawg, you shocked me with that one. I was expecting Proud n Powerful. Honestly, I feel a little better putting The Acclaimed in this spot now.

Caster: Me and Bowens promoted to the tag.
I see our opponents. We got it in the bag.
Dom is done holdin’ Andrade’s iPad
Not frogsplashin us like his real dad.
LA Demons are trash, honey.
Acclaimed bout to score the twenty!

Dustin: Ha. Well, in our singles tonight, I’m putting my investment in the big man, Wardlow.

Konnan: Well, he’ll be taking on a guy who’s no stranger to overcoming odds, Johnny WrestleSport.


Atlanta Dream at LA Demons

Excalibur: Excalibur here joined by Don Callis and Taz.

Taz: Damn, I was just in New York and Atlanta yesterday, and now I’m in LA. Don’t ask how that works. Either way, I’m exhausted as I’m sure the Atlanta Dream are.

Callis: Already making excuses for his guys.

Taz: Well, they are the worst team in the league.

Trios Match
10 Points
Cody Rhodes, MJF, and Samoa Joe [Atlanta Dream]
Versus
Death Triangle (PAC, Pentagon, and Fenix) [LA Demons]
Pentagon gets in the ring to start the match. The Dream team (no pun intended) are having a hard time deciding who will start. Penta motions to his partners, and they ultimately decide to jump them. Death Triangle has control of the match, and the referee is trying to get control. Joe starts throwing punches at Pentagon, and the official finally makes it so they are the only two in the ring. Joe works Penta into their corner, and MJF tags himself into the match. Pentagon really needs to get the tag. MJF chokes Penta on the middle rope. The official calls for the break, and Max almost doesn’t make the count. Cody yells at him for nearly getting them disqualified. He tags himself in. Pentagon tags in PAC while they are arguing. The Bastard attacks them. He throws Cody into the corner. Fenix and PAC hit a series of double team maneuvers. Cody tries to get back to his corner. MJF jumps off the apron. Lucha Bros hit Cody with the Fear Factor Double Stomp. PAC attacks Joe as Fenix scores the pin.
Winners, Death Triangle (PAC, Pentagon, and Fenix) [LA Demons]

Callis: That went about how I thought it would go.

Taz: Hard to disagree. Atlanta has some major issues.

Excalibur: Well, hopefully they won’t get dominated again.

Taz: The Acclaimed have the advantage of being a regular team.

Tag Team Match
15 Points
The Acclaimed (Max Caster and Anthony Bowens) [Atlanta Dream]
Versus
Andrade and Dominick Mysterio [LA Demons]
Andrade starts the match with Caster. He takes a cheap shot early and works them into their corner. He instructs Dominick to watch carefully and take notes. He works over Caster. He indicates he may tag Mysterio, but he doesn’t. Caster trips Andrade and makes it to the corner to tag Bowens. The big man attacks Andrade. He rocks him in front of Dominick and throws him at him. Mysterio tags himself in, and he hits Bowens with a flurry of high speed offense. Bowens rolls to the floor, and Caster jumps back in using the lucha rules. Caster locks on a chinlock on Dominick. The crowd gets behind the young Mysterio as he goes to tag Andrade. Mysterio is almost there when Caster goes for him. Dom pivots and jumps to the floor which is essentially a tag. Andrade tags down Caster knocking him to the floor. He also takes down Bowens who rolls out as well. Andrade moonsaults onto them on the floor. He drags Caster back into the ring and hits him with the Hammerlock DDT. He tells Dom that’s how it’s done who blind tags himself in, hits Caster with a frog splash, and gains the pin!
Winners, Andrade and Dominick Mysterio [LA Demons]

Callis: There you have it! Another sweep!

Taz: You gotta survive Wardlow if you want a true sweep.

Callis: We still won.

Excalibur: That is true, but it’s time for the final match of this game which has implications for the All-Star Tournament. Which man will bring home 20 points?

Singles Match
20 Points
Wardlow [Atlanta Dream]
Versus
John Morrison [LA Demons]
Morrison tries to bring all of the speed and power he can to the young Wardlow. The big man is not moving. Eventually Morrison makes the big man stumble. He stays on him and works him into the corner. He goes after him in the corner, but Wardlow gets under him and attempts a power bomb. Morrison leans forward and grabs the ropes. Wardlow still biels him out of the corner. He awes the crowd with his power as he has Morrison right where he wants him. He hits him with a power bomb. Morrison kicks out at two. He picks him up and hits him with another power bomb. Morrison gets his foot on the rope. Wardlow starts to get frustrated. Morrison goes to the floor. Wardlow does not go after him, but he’s clearly getting inpatient. Morrison quickly gets up to the top rope and hits a crossbody. He heads to the top going for the Moonlight Drive, but Wardlow gets his knees up. Morrison holds his ribs in pain. Wardlow pops up and hits four power bombs before going for the pin.
Winner, Wardlow [Atlanta Dream] 20 points

[It cuts to Cathy in the studio.]

Kelley: Wardlow with an impressive win to stop the LA sweep. Let’s send it to Don Callis in the LA locker room.

[It cuts to Don Callis in the LA locker room.]

Callis: Always good to win at home. Konnan, how does it feel?

Konnan: We came up short at home last week in a match we really needed to win, so it feels good to win at home tonight. I’m not going to lie. I was hoping for the clean sweep, so losing in the singles was disappointing. I really think it’s the weakest part of our game.

Callis: Definitely have a lot of strength in other areas.

Konnan: I really believe Death Triangle is the best trio in the league. Another thing, we’ve never lost a tag team match with three different teams. I’m a happy GM.

Callis: Well there you have it. Let’s send it to Taz with the losers.

[It cuts to Taz in the Dream locker room.]

Taz: Dustin, you’re 0-3. Something has to change. How are you feeling?

Dustin: We’ve got problems. The good news is, we’re not going to have another back to back game. I think having the Sunday into Monday games really screwed us. I was tired, and I’m sure the team was. We’re also still having the same problems we were having yesterday. We’ve got work to do for sure.

[Samoa Joe and Wardlow walk into the shot.]

Joe: You’re not going to talk about this guy putting twenty points on the board?

Dustin: I was impressed.

Joe: So, it’s clear. Half of the team has put points on the board and half the team hasn’t.

Dustin: We have work to do.

Taz: All right. Back to Cathy.



Kelley: Well, the Atlanta Dream failed to pick up their first win. The question now is will the Memphis Kings stay undefeated, or will the Twin City Lightning hand them their first loss?

Memphis Kings at Twin City Lightning
Pre-Game

Cole: Hello, I am Michael Cole. We have a big match in the Central Conference today. Jeff, you are the away team and you will announce your trio first.

Jarrett: I firmly believe that we are the only team in the league with two winning trios. We are undefeated in trios matches, and I expect that streak to continue. This week, I’m going back to The Hurt Business!

Waltman: Wow. Ok. I wasn’t expecting that. All right. I’m going to pivot. I thought Seth Rollins did a great job in the trios match last week. I’m going to put him with the House of Black this week though. Then I’m going to do Top Flight in the tag team match.

Jarrett: Well, people are going to love to see that one. Top Flight versus Dez and Wentz. That should be awesome. Then, I’m putting my Team Captain, Finn Balor, in the main event.

Waltman: And he’s going to face a man he’s no stranger to. My team captain, Kenny Omega.

Cole: Those should be some great matches. Let’s head to the ring.


Memphis Kings at Twin City Lightning

Cole: All right, Pat. Inter-conference play. Here we go.

McAfee: If Memphis gets to 3-0, they could be a shoe-in for the playoffs.

Cole: I don’t think they can shrug off the Lightning though.

McAfee: Absolutely not. There’s no real rules advantage in inter-conference play either. Both teams train to follow the rules.

Trios Match
10 Points
The Hurt Business (Bobby Lashley, Cedric Alexander, and Shelton Benjamin) [Memphis Kings]

The crowd desperately wants the Lightning member to get to his corner. The Hurt Business use their experience as a team to wear the big man down. Rollins and End run into the ring to knock them off the apron. The official threatens to disqualify them, and The Hurt Business slides back into the ring and engages in the fight. All six men are going at it! The official is counting and trying to regain control, but tempers have flared! The referee calls for the bell.
Double Disqualification: No Points Awarded

McAfee: Come on! Let’em fight!

Cole: You know the rules in this conference. Referees who can’t keep control are fined. Their decision is final.

McAfee: Thankfully, this is the only home game in the Central Conference this week because this kind of stuff drives me nuts.

Cole: That’s a way to be talking about your own conference. Let’s send it to the tag team match.

Tag Team Match
15 Points
The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz and Dezmond Xavier) [Memphis Kings]
Versus
Top Flight (Dante and Darius Martin) [Twin City Lightning]

Xavier turns the intention from flash to fight with a stiff strike. He works Dante into their corner. They use quick tags to work him over. Darius gets the Minneapolis crowd behind him, and they will Dante to get the tag. Both teams use quick tags and flashy offense to awe the crowd.

Winners, Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin) [Twin City Lightning] 15 Points

Cole: I think you have to call that an upset!

McAfee: I would agree. Top Flight mastered cutting the ring in half, and they got the win.

Cole: It’s still not too late for Memphis.

McAfee: Absolutely not. It’s winner takes all in this main event.

Singles Match

Finn Balor [Memphis Kings]
Versus
Kenny Omega [Twin City Lightning]
The crowd is hot for these two as the match is about to start. Omega offers the handshake, and Balor accepts it. They start with some chain wrestling truly trying to figure out who is the better man.

The official is about to hit ten when Kenny throws Finn back into the ring and slides in himself. Kenny goes for the pin, but Balor gets his foot on the rope. Omega grabs him and hits the V-Trigger.

He tries to hit the V-Trigger on the floor, but Finn rolls into the ring. The official gets to eight when Kenny uses the barricade to pull himself up. He’s about to slide back in when someone in the front row grabs him!
Winner, by counting, Finn Balor [Memphis Kings]

[It cuts to Cathy in the studio.]

Kelley: Who was that? We need to look into who that fan was that grabbed Kenny Omega in the front row. We’re going to send it to Michael Cole who’s standing by with Jeff Jarrett.

[It cuts to Michael Cole who’s standing by with Jeff Jarrett.]

Cole: Well, Jeff, you barely scraped by this week, but you won again.

Jarrett: Certainly not the margin I’d like to win by, but a win is a win.

Cole: Do you know anything about who grabbed Omega?

Jarrett: Honestly, no.

Cole: Obviously, we don’t condone our fans putting their hands on a wrestler. Next week, you’ve got the New York Titans. What’s your plan?

Jarrett: New York Titans will be our biggest challenge to date. I think we’ve got a chance of winning, but it’s not going to be easy.

Cole: All right. Let’s send it to Pat in the Lightning locker room.

[It cuts to Pat in the Lightning locker room.]

McAfee: Sean, tough loss brings you to 1-2. How are you feeling?

Waltman: What the hell happened out there? Where was security?? Listen. Our team has issues. The fact of the matter is, every House of Black match has ended in a draw. I don’t like that. Top Flight did great, and they put some points on the board. But what the hell happened in that Kenny match? How is that ok?

Rollins: I’m more concerned about the fact that he could’ve won the match by count out twice, and he didn’t.

Omega: I’m Kenny Omega. I’m the Best Bout Machine. People don’t want to see me win by count out or disqualification. They want to see V-Trigger. One Winged Angel. 1-2-3 in the middle of the ring.

Rollins: Well, I’m on your freakin’ team, Mr. Best Bout Machine, and I just need you to win. By whatever means necessary.

Omega: Well, that’s just not who I am, SETH.

McAfee: All right fellas…Back to you, Cathy.



Kelley: Definitely some tension and confusion in the locker rooms tonight. Thursday night, we’ve got two more games. The Austin Stunners will travel to New York in hopes of picking up their first win against the Titans. Then, in our featured bout, The Second City Saints will travel to Philly to fight the Revolution in a game where Brock Lesnar is suspended!

Kelley: Hello everyone, I’m Cathy Kelley. Today, we’ve got two hot games for you. The Austin Stunners head to the Eastern Conference where they will go head to head with the New York Titans while the Philly Revolution host the Second City Saints in their first game since Brock Lesnar got suspended. Both of tonight’s games are in the Eastern Conference which means it’s time to send it to Tony Schiavone!

Austin Stunners at New York Titans
Pre-Game

Schiavone: Thank you Cathy. As you know, as the visiting team, Austin gets to announce their trio first.

Austin: All right. Trying a little different strategy this week. I’m hoping we can pick up our first win, but I know we’re against a damn good team with a damn good coach. Undisputed Era is arguably the best trio in the league. They got their reputation on the independents, so I went with three of my players who have immense independent experience. Lance Archer, ACH, and Keith Lee. They’re also all from Texas, and that’s a shoot.

McMahon: Awesome Steve. You prepared for The Undisputed Era, and that’s what you’re going to get. I’m sure you also planned to face The Usos in the Tag Team Match.

Austin: I did, but I bet you didn’t prepare for Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal as my tag team. Two thirds of 3MB, and they’re both huge. As for the main event, you’ve got Sheamus to worry about.

McMahon: I do not have Sheamus to worry about. Sheamus is going one on one with The Miz.

Reigns: Excuse me?

McMahon: You went through a table Sunday. I want you to sit this one out.

Reigns: Unacceptable. Sheamus is mine.

McMahon: Fine.

Schiavone: Let’s head to the ring.


Austin Stunners at New York Titans

Schiavone: Tony Schiavone and Taz representing the Eastern Conference with our guest, Pat McAfee.

McAfee: Pleasure to join you guys. Austin Stunners have yet to pick up a win, and that’s not going to be an easy task today.

Taz: No, you’re right, Pat. The New York Titans were projected to go undefeated this season

Schiavone: Let’s see if The Undisputed Era can stay undefeated in Trios action.

Austin Stunners at New York Titans
Post Game

[Taz is in the New York Titans locker room.]

Taz: Shane, you picked up a victory after a tough loss last week. How did it feel to be victorious again?

McMahon: It feels good. We can’t lose in New York. I am personally guaranteeing we will end the season 10-1. Last week was a fluke. The Usos losing tonight was a fluke. Next week, we’ve got the Memphis Kings, and we’re going to sweep them 45-0.

Taz: Memphis Kings are undefeated.

Reigns: Not for long. LOSING is no longer an option.

Cole: Some of us have never lost.

Taz: All right. Awkward situation here. Let’s send it to Pat with the Stunners.

[It cuts to the Austin Stunners’ locker room where Pat McAfee is standing by.]

McAfee: Steve, tough loss tonight.

Austin: Damn right it was, Pat. I think we lost to a damn good team though. One of the best in the game, and it wasn’t exactly clean. I think this week was a step in the right direction. Next week, we got the Philly Revolution, and they’re without Brock Lesnar. I think we’re going to pick up our first win.



[It cuts back to Cathy in the studio.]

Kelley: Tough loss for the Austin Stunners as the New York Titans get their mojo back. Now let’s send it to Philly where the Revolution are about to go into battle without Brock Lesnar.

Second City Saints at Philly Revolution
Pre-Game

Schiavone: Hello everybody. Tony Schiavone here again for the big game between Chicago and Philadelphia. Tony, you get to announce your trio first.

Khan: I look at your premiere trio, Team Taz, and I see the confidence of Ricky Starks, the strength of Powerhouse Hobbs, and the popularity of Hook. So I bring the confidence of Mustafa Ali, the strength of Josh Alexander, and the popularity of Danhausen!

Heyman: Tony. Tony. Tony. What makes you think any of those guys can hang with Team Taz? I wasn’t married to playing Team Taz this week, but now I’m going to, just to prove a point. Tomasso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano are going to be my tag team.

Khan: Very good. I’m excited to play in the Eastern Conference where two of my wildest players will finally be unhinged. Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston will pick up 15 points tonight, and in the main event, CM Punk will bring home 20.

Heyman: CM Punk is going to have to beat one of the strongest men in this sport. He’s one of the most overlooked talents in the industry, and he’s a key player for the Philly Revolution, Cesaro.

Schiavone: All right. Let’s head to the ring.


Second City Saints at Philly Revolution

Schiavone: Tony Schiavone joined once again by Taz and Pat McAfee.

Taz: Tony, you’re about to see Philly prove how tough they are even without Lesnar.

McAfee: Well, we know you’re not going to be unbiased in this one, are you Taz?

Taz: Hell no! Send Hook!

Team Taz (Powerhouse Hobbs, Ricky Starks, and Hook) [Philly Revolution]
Ali and Starks start the match with some chain wrestling. Ali tags in Alexander who demonstrates his power against Starks. He throws him around the ring and Starks desperately rushes to the corner to tag Hobbs. They have a test of strength which Hobbs wins, gaining some cheers in Philadelphia. However, Alexander then awes the crowd with his ability to take Hobbs down. He works him over on the mat. Powerhouse gets to the ropes and they have a battle of the shoulder tackles. Neither man can prosper, and they eventually tag in Hook and Danhausen. The two have a face off. Starks jumps in the ring and attacks Danhausen. Ali makes the save. All hell has broken loose. Danhausen fights Starks to the floor where he hits him with a Tequila Kick. Hook suplexes Mustafa. Alexander and Hobbs hit each other with stereo clotheslines sending both men down. Danhausen comes back in the ring, but Hook appears behind him. REDRUM!

Moxley is throwing a barrage of fists to the midsection of Gargano. Johnny manages to escape and head back into the ring. Moxley comes in and attacks him again. He goes for the Paradigm Shift. 1…2…NO! It’s too early for him to put him away. Moxley delivers a series of knees to the midsection of Gargano before heading to the floor. He attacks Ciampa from behind. Moxley and Kingston bring chaos as they double team Tommaso. Johnny sees his partner in trouble and dives to the floor, but Eddie sees him coming and pulls Ciampa into the line of fire. Both men are down on the floor when Moxley and Kingston pick them both up and hits stereo DDTs on the floor. Mox then throws Johnny into the ring and pins him.
Winners, Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston [Second City Saints] 15 Points

Schiavone: Moxley and Kingston taking full advantage of Eastern Conference Rules.

McAfee: They brought the violence for sure!

CM Punk [Second City Saints]
Versus
Cesaro [Philly Revolution]
The match starts with CM Punk offering a handshake to Cesaro. He accepts it, and the crowd pops. The two lock up, and Cesaro uses his strength to launch Punk into the corner. He comes in with a series of Very European Uppercuts. He turns around to a pop from his adorning crowd. He then gets kicked in the head by CM Punk. The Chicago native works the Swiss man over for a while. He tries to put him away with some nearfalls, but Cesaro is too strong. Punk then hits him with a series of kicks to the head. He goes for the pin, but he doesn’t stay down! Punk starts to get frustrated and gets in the face of the referee. Cesaro uses this opportunity to find his stride for his comeback. He hits some fast paced offense, but he’s still clearly a little shaken. He sets Punk up for the giant swing. He spins him around and around, but he drops him abruptly. He stumbles over, favoring his head and neck. The official checks on him, but he pushes him away and says he’s fine. Punk gets under him. Go to Sleep!

Second City Saints at Philly Revolution
Post Game

[Pat McAfee stands by with Tony Khan.]

McAfee: Two weeks in a row. Great coaching leads to victory!

Khan: No. I have to give all of the credit to my talent. Trios are clearly still our weak point. We only have one victory in that area, but we will find a way to make it work. I think CM Punk is a strong leader. He’s scored points for the team every week, and he’s part of the reason we’re 3-0. I don’t see that changing against Detroit next week.

McAfee: All right. Let’s send it to Taz.

[The camera cuts to Taz in the Philly locker room.]

Taz: Paul. Great performance by Team Taz. Tough luck about the rest of the game.

Heyman: Team Taz was great. No one can discount that. How awesome was HOOK. I’ll give you one reason why we lost. The WrestleSport Legal Team. They suspended Brock Lesnar. It was uncalled for. Do we just throw in the towel next week?

Taz: No! You gotta have a plan.

Heyman: Of course I do.



Kelley: Tough loss for Philly tonight. Stick around for Sunday where two streaks will end, and two streaks will continue. The 0-2 Detroit Fuel will face the 0-2 Denver Swerve. Then the 2-0 OKC Cowboys will face the 2-0 Seattle Dragons!

Kelley: Hello everyone and welcome to the big Sunday match-ups! I’m Cathy Kelley, and we have two exciting matches for you today! In the Eastern Conference, it will be the Detroit Fuel hosting the Denver Swerve. Then, in OKC, the Cowboys will host the Seattle Dragons. Detroit and Denver are both looking for their first win while Seattle and OKC both desperately avoid their first loss! Let’s send it to Tony in Detroit.

Denver Swerve at Detroit Fuel
Pre-Game

Schiavone: Thank you, Cathy. I’m told Vince Russo is having a bit of trouble with his home internet, so Kofi, will you announce your team for the trios match tonight?

Kingston: Absolutely. It’s going to be Chuck Taylor, Trent Beretta, and Orange Cassidy! Also known as the Best Friends.

Nash: Well, when you’re 0-2, it’s clearly time to change things up. I’m going to bank on winning the first two matches tonight with a big risk in the third one. My trio is AJ Styles and The Good Brothers. My tag is the Motor City Machine Guns.

Kingston: Awesome, I planned on delivering two third of New Day for the tag, and it will be myself and Xavier Woods. Big E will represent us in the singles match.

Nash: Well, he’s going up against Omos!

Schiavone: Wow, let’s send it to the ring!


Detroit Swerve at Denver Fuel

Schiavone: All right, tonight I’m joined by Taz and Don Callis.

Callis: Tony, I just have to say the only thing worse than seeing the two worst teams face off is doing it in Detroit.

Taz: Come on, Don. You gotta get some Detroit style pizza with me later.

Callis: I will never do that, Taz.

Denver Swerve at Detroit Fuel
Post Game

Callis: What a win, New Day!

Kingston: New Day and the Best Friends can take care of business with or without Vince Russo. Woods may be out for a few weeks because they tried to cheat. There’s still a lot of season left, and you’re going to see us keep climbing. We will not be denied!

Big E: Hell no! We will not be denied!

Callis: There you have it! Take it away Taz.

[It cuts to Taz in the Detroit locker room.]

Taz: Question on everybody’s mind, did you send Jimmy Jacobs to take out Xavier Woods’ knee?

Nash: Does it matter? It didn’t work. I tried something different this week, and we still came up short. It was a Denver miracle, but just because we’re 0-3 doesn’t mean we’re out of contention.

Styles: It’s only a matter of time before we’re mathematically eliminated from the conference championship, and you need to remember there is only one person consistently putting points on the board for this team.



Kelley: Well, we’ll keep an eye out for an update on Xavier Woods’ knee. Right now, let’s send it to Seattle where the Dragons are hosting the Cowboys!

OKC Cowboys at Seattle Dragons
Pre-Game

Excalibur: I am Excalibur, and welcome to the OKC Cowboys at the Seattle Dragons. As the away team, JR, announce your trio.

Ross: Right to business. I like that. Well, SGC has done well by me so far. I don’t see why tonight would be any different. I’m going with the Second Gear Crew.

Steamboat: I didn’t like the way we won our Trios match last week which is why I benched Daniel Garcia. Tonight, our trio will be Chris Hero and 2point0. As for the tag team, The Young Bucks have been very impressive. I don’t see that changing.

Ross: Well, Ricky, I do. I don’t think the Young Bucks can beat FTR. Nobody else has been able to. As for the main event, well, sometimes you have to call an audible. Hangman Page got brutally attacked last week, and he is medically cleared. However. I don’t trust Brock Lesnar to honor his suspension, so I’m playing Sammy Guevara.

Steamboat: I have to say I didn’t expect that. Either way, it doesn’t matter. He’ll be going up against Bryan Danielson.


OKC Cowboys at Seattle Dragons

Excalibur: When it’s inter-conference play that means it’s a two man booth.

Callis: We’ve got two of these next week.

Excalibur: That’s right all four Western teams are facing off next week. Who do you have winning today, Don?

Callis: A Western conference team.

Trios Match
Chris Hero and 2point0 (Matt Lee and Jeff Parker) [Seattle Dragons]
Versus
Second Gear Crew (Matthew Justice, Mance Warner, and 1 Called Manders) [OKC Cowboys]

The fight all around the ring before the official gets it under control. Lee takes a cheapshot on Mance to get control of the match. 2point0 work quick tags in the corner on Mance with Hero shouting directions. They stomp Mance into the corner until eventually he rolls out. Manders comes in and takes them both down. He then fights Hero. They have an exchange of strikes until Hero throws an elbow that knocks him to the mat. He goes for the pin, but Justice pulls Manders out of the ring. He then attacks Hero. Justice is in control when he goes for a pin, but Parker breaks it. Parker grabs Justice as Hero goes for another elbow, but Justice ducks and Chris Hero knocks out his own partner. Mance comes in and sends Hero out with a lariat. Justice pins Parker!
Winners, Second Gear Crew (Matthew Justice, Mance Warner, and 1 Called Manders) [OKC Cowboys] 10 Points

Callis: AH! The loaded elbow pad works against him.

They hit Wheeler with the Meltzer Driver. BTE Trigger. It’s over.
Winners, The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) [Seattle Dragons] 15 Points

Callis: I knew it! The Young Bucks were the better team. You can’t go better than brothers.

Excalibur: You cannot discount the efforts of FTR though.

Callis: Of course not. We’ve got the best tag teams in the Western Conference.

Excalibur: And now we’re heading to the ring for the main event.

Singles Match

Sammy Guevara [OKC Cowboys]
Versus
Bryan Danielson [Seattle Dragons]
Sammy offers a handshake to Bryan. He looks to the crowd, and he accepts it. They lock up. Sammy quickly gets out, and he wants to control the pace of the match. Guevara keeps trying to go fast paced, and he manages to hit a lot of offense. He works Bryan into the corner and manages to lift him up to the top rope. They are fighting on the top rope.

OKC Cowboys at Seattle Dragons
Post-Game

Excalibur: Ricky, congratulations on your win.

Steamboat: Thank you. I thought Danielson and The Bucks did great. I am going to look into the Chris Hero elbow situation. I hope we can continue our undefeated streak next week against the Denver Swerve.

Excalibur: Good luck next week. Let’s send it to Callis in the OKC Locker room.

[It cuts to Callis in the OKC locker room.]

Callis: JR, you suffered your first loss this week. What happened?

Ross: Well, I thought the tag team match could have gone either way. Obviously, I wanted to win. Maybe I shouldn’t have trusted Sammy. Maybe I should’ve put Hangman in. I don’t know, Don.



Kelley: Tough loss for the Cowboys this week. Week four starts tomorrow with some great games. We’re going to have two west conference games, and three undefeated streaks in jeopardy!



Week 3 Rankings

Kelley: Hello, it’s Cathy Kelley. Can you believe we’re in Week 4? We’ve got a special announcement from the WrestleSport Legal Team before our first game. Let’s send it there now.



Otunga: Hello everyone. I’m David Otunga.

Sterling: And I’m Mark Sterling. We are here to make a season altering announcement!

Otunga: That’s right. While this season is off to a great start, we’ve decided to shake things up a bit.

Sterling: That’s right. At the end of Week 5, the games originally scheduled to take place on Sunday will be moved to Saturday.

Otunga: On the Sunday of Week 5, we will have a special event called Masters of the Trade. All twelve general managers will have a meeting negotiating potential trades. The trade board will approve four trades.

Sterling: Trades can be 1 for 1, 2 for 2, or 3 for 3. The individuals in the approved trades will face off with the same number of points on the line as would be in a normal match. These points will be for the MVP Tournament only.

Otunga: There will also be a Free Agency Ladder Match. 2 individuals from each conference will compete in a six man ladder match.

Sterling: The winner of the ladder match will officially be a free agent who can choose to negotiate a new deal with the team of his choice. That team will then need to make a cut who will be picked up by the team the winner leaves. The winner will have until the end of week 7 to make their decision.

Otunga: Those trading and those in the ladder match will not be announced until the evening of the event.

Sterling: We look forward to the big event.



Kelley: Wow! What a huge announcement taking place in less than two weeks. Now, let’s send it to Atlanta where the Twin City Lightning will take on the Atlanta Dream!

Twin City Lightning at Atlanta Dream
Pre-Game

Schiavone: It’s always a pleasure to be in Atlanta. It’s also a pleasure to have two great coaches here today, Sean Waltman and Dustin Rhodes. Sean, as the away team, you’ll announce your trio first.

Waltman: Thanks Tony. Last week, we did not pick up a win in the trios division, so I want to keep trying new things. I’m going to play Seth Rollins, Lio Rush, and Matt Sydal. They all have some experience, and they can bring the fast paced action necessary.

Rhodes: I’m trying something this week. I’m going to try to win. Week one, Samoa Joe, Jonathan Gresham, and Lee Johnson won the trios match. I’m going to give them another shot. As for the tag team division, I’ve never scored any points, so I’m going to try a new combination. Two giant pains in my ass, MJF and my brother, Cody Rhodes.

Waltman: Wow. Ok. I didn’t expect that. I’ve got two guys on my team who have been disqualified at home twice, but word is, it’s harder to get disqualified in the Eastern Division, so I’ll give Kings of the Black Throne another shot. Then, in my main event, it’s going to be my team captain, Kenny Omega!

Rhodes: Well, he’s going to face the only one who’s had singles success for me. Wardlow.

Friedman: Hey dumbass. The only reason I’ve never given you a singles win is because you’ve never given me a chance.

Rhodes: You put up some points tonight, and maybe I’ll think about it.


Twin City Lightning at Atlanta Dream

Schiavone: All right. Tony Schiavone joined by Pat McAfee and Taz.

McAfee: It’s great to be here in the Eastern Conference. I’m hoping to see the Lightning pick up another win!

Taz: Not gonna be that easy-

Schiavone: What the hell is this?

Caster: We don’t like Atlanta. It’s got a stench
City smells worse than Acclaimed on the bench.
All the dudes in this match are so outdated.
Bowens and I will hope to be traded
For real, our coach is Goldust
Don’t sleep on the Acclaimed or you will bust!

[Top Flight comes down the ramp and jumps The Acclaimed! All four men are fighting on the floor. Samoa Joe dives onto all four of them! There is pandemonium in the ring. Joe is getting up, and Rollins hits him with a curb stomp on the floor.]

Taz: Yeah. This is a pier six brawl!

[Tommy End and Brody King come out with chairs for the tag team match, and they’re swinging at anyone who is moving, even hitting their own teammates. Finally, security comes scrambling down the ramp to get them away from everyone on the floor. They slide into the ring waiting for their opponents.]

McAfee: This is the wildest game so far this season! I love it!

Taz: That’s what you can come to expect in the Eastern Conference!

[Cody Rhodes and MJF stand at the top of the stage. They fist bump, and Cody runs into the ring. MJF stays on the stage while Cody gets bludgeoned with steel chairs by King and End. The official says she won’t ring the bell until the chairs are out of the ring.]

Twin City Lightning at Atlanta Dream
Post Game

McAfee: Sean, that was an incredible win out there!

Waltman: That was a wild game. It feels good to move our record to 2-2. I think this was another situation where they beat themselves just as much if not more than we beat them. I have a lot of respect for Dustin, but he’s got a lot of things to fix in Atlanta.

Omega: What the hell was that?

Waltman: Kenny, you got screwed out there. I’m not upset.

Omega: I am! Don’t you know who I am? I’m Kenny Omega! I don’t lose. I can’t keep losing by count out. I don’t know who it was last time, but this time it was MJF. I need to show the world I’m Kenny Omega.

Rollins: Sean, how many times are you going to let this guy lose?

Omega: I’ve never been pinned! I’ve never submitted!

McAfee: All right. We have to send it to the other locker room!

[The camera cuts to Taz in the other locker room.]

Taz: Dustin, you move to 0-4, what’s the plan?

Friedman: Dustin! Dustin! I am so sorry.

Dustin: You have a lot of nerve coming in here.

Friedman: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to stop Kenny Omega from winning the match so you could’ve been swept like you deserved to be.

Wardlow: You think Kenny was going to beat me?

Friedman: Well..No…Not necessarily. Listen, when I ditched Cody Rhodes out there, I was calling other GMs. They’re interested in us as a team. We’ve always been better together.

Dustin: What makes you think I’d trade the guy who’s put up more points than anyone on the team?

Friedman: We’re a package deal, Dustin!

Wardlow: No. We’re not.

Taz: That’s all the time we have! Let’s send it to Cathy!



[It cuts to Cathy in the studio.]

Kelley: Another tough loss for Atlanta as they fail to pick up their first win. Another team looking to pick up their first win is the Detroit Fuel. Today, they travel to Chicago to face the Second City Saints. Let’s send it to Michael Cole in Chicago!

Detroit Fuel at Second City Saints
Pre-Game

Cole: Thank you, Cathy. Welcome Kevin Nash and Tony Khan. Kevin, as the away team, you will introduce your trio first.

Nash: Trios matches are notoriously fast paced and exciting. Tonight, I’m trying a new trio. Rohit Raju has spent the entire season on the bench, so tonight he’s teaming with the Motor City Machine Guns.

Khan: Awesome. There is one team I’m determined to establish as the best trio in the league. That’s Josh Alexander, Ethan Page, and Scorpio Sky. In the tag team division, I’m going to play Eddie Kingston and Jon Moxley.

Nash: They’re a very impressive tag team. However, I don’t think they’re a match for The Good Brothers. In the main event, I’m putting all of my faith in AJ Styles. Hope he doesn’t disappoint.

Khan: While I know I would love to see CM Punk versus AJ Styles, I’ve decided to give my captain the week off. We’re 3-0 against an 0-3 team, so I’m giving Mustafa Ali a shot.


Detroit Fuel at Second City Saints

Cole: Michael Cole joined by Pat McAfee and Taz.

Taz: Man both of the Eastern teams playing tonight are rough.

Versus
Josh Alexander, Ethan Page, and Scorpio Sky [Second City Saints]
Scorpio Sky and Alex Shelley start the match. They have an impressive back and forth exchange where both men utilize their speed. Shelley gets a quick tag to Sabin who is also holding his own. Raju calls out for a tag, but Sabin isn’t close enough. This allows Sky to pull him into their corner and tag in Josh Alexander. He comes in and overpowers Sabin clearly. He dominates him for a good chunk before including Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky for a three on one beating. The official is strictly enforcing the tags, but Sabin desperately needs a tag. Ego goes for a pin, and Raju comes in to break it. Shelley is yelling at him as the official pushes him back to his corner. Page, Alexander, and Sky hit a triple team move. It’s over!

McAfee: How about that?! A clean sweep!

Khan: It was our first perfect game! I’m equal parts happy and surprised!

McAfee: Punk, you were on the bench this week, how do you feel about that?

Punk: My team won a perfect game, Pat! Memphis hasn’t played yet, but we just slid into the number one spot in the league! I’ll take it.

McAfee: Are you worried about your MVP Tournament standings?

Punk: Not even a little bit!

McAfee: Let’s send it to Taz!

[Taz is standing outside the Detroit Fuel locker room.]

Taz: Well, Pat, I tried to get a comment, but GM Nash is unavailable so I’m told. AJ! AJ Styles! Tough loss out there. Your coach won’t let me in there. Can I get a comment?

Styles: Go to hell.

Taz: Back to Cathy I guess.



Kelley: A VERY tough loss for the Detroit Fuel. They wouldn’t even let Taz in the locker room. Thursday, we’ve got more Week 4 action as the Austin Stunners will attempt to pick up their first when when they host the Philly Revolution still without Brock Lesnar. Also, it’s a Western Conference battle as the OKC Cowboys host the LA Demons.

Nash can't get a point for love nor money. I will be shocked if AJ doesn't enter himself into the free agency ladder match.

Kelley: We’ve got two great games today. The Philly Revolution travel to Austin where they look to pick up a victory without their captain, Brock Lesnar. Austin is desperate to pick up their first win today. Then, in our featured game, the 2nd and 3rd seed teams in the West face off as the LA Demons face the OKC Cowboys. Let’s send it to Michael Cole in Austin.

Philly Revolution at Austin Stunners
Pre-Game

Cole: All right, gentlemen, we’ve got a great game today. Paul, go ahead and announce your trio first.

Heyman: Thank you, Michael. Since I can’t play my team captain AGAIN, I’m going to rotate some things around. My trio will be Powerhouse Hobbs and Ricky Starks of Team Taz, but they will be teaming with Lee Moriarty.

Austin: Well, when you’ve lost every game, you gotta keep trying things different. Tonight, I’m gonna put Drew McIntyre, ACH, and Keith Lee in there! Then, in the tag team, I’m going with the combination of Heath Slater and Rhyno.

Heyman: Well Ciampa and Gargano should have no problem beating those two jokes. In the main event, it’s going to be BR-Oh wait. I can’t play Brock Lesnar, so I guess I’ll play Cesaro.

Austin: I was kind of hoping you would. I’ve got somebody who knows Cesaro better than almost anybody, I’m gonna have him face Sheamus.


Philly Revolution at Austin Stunners

Taz: Cole, I know you’re supposed to lead us in, but what the hell? I’m hot. What the hell has gotten into the mind of Paul Heyman? How’s he going to bench Hook? It’s BS! That’s what it is.

Cole: Taz, you’re supposed to be unbiased.

Taz: I don’t care. I’m hot.

McAfee: Speaking of hot, it’s time for some action.

McAfee: Congratulations Steve! Awesome to see the Austin Stunners pick up their first win.

Austin: Hell yeah, kid. I knew we’d finally get a W. I’m damn proud of my team. Props to Cesaro who gave Sheamus a hell of a fight and certainly gave us a run for our money. You know, we might’ve even had a clean sweep if Archer hadn’t cost us the tag match. I’m feeling good. Next week, we’re going to Detroit. I’m hoping we can pick up another W.

McAfee: Congratulations! Let’s send it to Taz.

[It cuts to Taz in the Philly Revolution locker room.]

Taz: Tough loss tonight, Paul. I really think you could’ve gotten the win if you would’ve played Hook.

Heyman: Brock Lesnar is suspended. Cesaro may never walk again. Winning and losing tonight did not factor in HOOK at all. We do not NEED Hook-

[Taz grabs Heyman’s jacket.]

Taz: How dare you! You do need Hook! Play Hook damn it! PLAY HOOK!

Starks: Whoa! Taz!

Hobbs: Calm down, Taz!

Heyman: Don’t touch me! I’d love to see you dare to put your hands on me next week when Brock Lesnar is back! Ya hear that, Memphis?! Brock Lesnar is coming back NEXT WEEK!



[It cuts back to Cathy in the studio.]

Kelley: Well, that was certainly an intense encounter. The Austin Stunners have to be excited about their first victory though. Now, we send it to Oklahoma City where the OKC Cowboys, who picked up their first loss last week, look to redeem themselves against the LA Demons who are also 2-1.

LA Demons at OKC Cowboys

Excalibur: I am Excalibur. Welcome to Oklahoma City. Konnan, as the visiting team, you will announce your trio first.

Konnan: No surprises. We’re opening with the best trio in the game. Death Triangle!

Ross: Konnan, I’m prepared for the best trio in the game. I’m playing my three best high flyers. Ricky Morton, Sammy Guevara, and ‘Hangman’ Adam Page. As usual, FTR will handle things for the tag team division.

Konnan: I gotta be honest, Jim. I didn’t see that one coming. I’m going to bring it with Proud n Powerful in the tag team match. Then, Andrade is battling clean up in the singles match.

Ross: For my singles, I’m playing the big man, Matthew Justice.

Excalibur: There you have it, folks. The two 2-1 teams are going to go head to head!


LA Demons at OKC Cowboys

Excalibur: Don, we have no one with us for this one as it is interconference play.

Callis: Boy I can’t wait to hear Jim Ross bitch about the officiating in that one.

Excalibur: They do have a ten count to hit double team moves on a tag.

Callis: Whatever. Oklahoma is going to be real close to picking up a second loss here.

Excalibur: I’d say this tag team match is a toss up. Anybody’s game.

LA Demons at OKC Cowboys
Post Game

Excalibur: Here we are with the winners, the LA Demons. Konnan, what brought the victory tonight?

Konnan: Strategy. Consistency. I think we have one of the best teams in the league in tag teams and trios for sure. I thought the tag could’ve gone either way. Justice didn’t really have what it took in the singles, so Andrade probably got lucky. Either way, I’m happy to win.

Excalibur: All right, let’s send it to Don Callis in the Cowboys’ locker room.

[It cuts to Don Callis in the Cowboys’ locker room.]

Callis: JR, a tough loss tonight, what do you attribute it to?

Ross: Well, I think it can be written off to bad coaching tonight, honestly. I didn’t put my people in their best positions, and we paid for it.

Page: JR, I’m sorry for doing this. I’m sorry for interrupting you. If you want me to be the captain of this team, you need to put me in the driver’s seat. Respectfully.

Ross: If you’re the captain of this team, you should be able to go wherever I need you.

Page: All I can think about is Lesnar. I need to focus on leading this team. If you don’t put me in a position to lead this team to victory, I’m declaring for that free agency ladder match, and I’m joining whatever team will put me in the ring with Lesnar.

Callis: Well there you have it.



Kelley: ‘Hangman’ Adam Page just left JR with one hell of an ultimatum. We’ll see what happens in Week 5. Sunday, we’ve got the undefeated Memphis Kings taking on the very dominant New York Titans. We’ll also see the undefeated Seattle Dragons take on the Denver Swerve. Can both teams protect their streak?

Kelley: Hello, I am Cathy Kelley, and we are exactly one week out from Masters of the Trade. As of this time, we still do not know any of the trades. We also don’t know any of the entrants for the Free Agency Ladder Match. We can speculate some of the people who may enter, but we don’t know for sure. Right now, we’re going to send it to Denver where the Swerve are about ready to face the Seattle Dragons.

Seattle Dragons at Denver Swerve
Pre-Game

Excalibur: Hello, I am Excalibur. I am joined by Vince Russo and Ricky Steamboat. Ricky, you must name your trio first.

Steamboat: Thanks Excalibur, I brought Chris Hero onto this team to be a mentor, and I still think he could be. I want to see what he can do with out two youngest players, Daniel Garcia and Daniel Makabe.

Russo: Bro, I don’t have a lot of good options this week. Two weeks ago, Orange Cassidy embarrassed me when he said ‘Whatever’ in response to me saying we needed a swerve. I’m not playing him. So my trio is gonna be Rocky Romero, Chuck Taylor, and Trent Beretta. Then, I guess my tag team is gonna be Big E and Kofi Kingston cause I guess their other guy is hurt.

Steamboat: Well, I’m excited to say it will be Big E and Kofi Kingston against The Young Bucks, something of a dream match for a lot of people. In the singles match, I’m going to be playing Bryan Danielson.

Russo: Well, I couldn’t swerve ya if I wanted to. He’s facing Wheeler Yuta.


Seattle Dragons at Denver Swerve

Excalibur: More interconference competition.

Callis: Should be an easy win for the Dragons. Denver only has one win.

Excalibur: Interesting to see if Hero can get points in the trios match.

CHAOS (Rocky Romero, Chuck Taylor, and Trent Beretta) [Denver Swerve]
Chuck Taylor and Daniel Makabe start out the match. Taylor tries to get control quickly, but Makabe holds his own. The Kentucky Gentleman seems a little surprised by what his opponent can do. He manages to get a tag to Rocky Romero who is a lot rougher with the rookie. He gets control and gets a nearfall. Garcia pulls Makabe out of the ring to bring himself into the match. He matches toughness with Rocky, but his lack of experience ends up being a shortcoming. Garcia gets worked into the corner where CHAOS uses a series of quick tags to put him in a bad way. Hero is calling for Garcia to get there. Finally, he escapes the grips and makes the tag to Hero. The big man comes in and hits them all with a series of elbows knocking them each down. Orange Cassidy gets up on the apron, and Hero cocks back his elbow, but he catches the referee in the cross hairs. Cassidy shrugs, hits all three members of the Dragons with an Orange Punch leaving all six men down. 2point0 come down to the ring and pulls Hero out of the ring. They dig into his elbow pad and pull out a chain! He shoves both of them and walks out on the team. Romero grabs the chain and decks Garcia with it before reviving the referee.

Excalibur: The chain finally cost Chris Hero the match!

All four men are fighting in the ring now. The official is trying to get the match under control. Finally, Big E and Nick are the only ones in the ring.

It’s over!

Excalibur: And just like that, the undefeated streak of the Seattle Dragons has ended! What an upset!

Callis: What an upset! What a match! I would’ve never guessed The Young Bucks would lose.

Excalibur: Now, it’s up to Bryan Danielson to maintain his perfect record in singles matches. He’s the favorite in the All-Star Tournament by far. He has not been pinned or made to submit all season.

Callis: I do not want to be Wheeler Yuta right now.

Excalibur: I’m back here with Vince Russo. You just picked up your second win. How does it feel?

Russo: It’s no surprise, bro. I knew we’d do it. Everything else was a joke, bro. We’re not losing again, bro.

Excalibur: All right. Well, Don Callis is with Ricky Steamboat.

[It cuts to Don Callis with Ricky Steamboat.]

Callis: You suffered your first loss tonight. Chris Hero’s loaded elbow pad was exposed. How are you feeling?

Steamboat: I feel fortunate that we stayed undefeated as long as we did. As for Chris Hero, he will be benched during Week 5, and if I cannot trade him, he will be benched for the entire season.



Kelley: Wow. Strong words from Ricky Steamboat. The first loss for Seattle causing quite a hit to their stability. Another team that is undefeated is the Memphis Kings who look to stay undefeated as they face the New York Titans. Let’s head to Memphis now.

New York Titans at Memphis Kings
Pre-Game

Reigns: Michael Cole, everyone knows how this works. Now, for the last two weeks, The Usos have lost. There is an infection in The Bloodline. There is only one way to cure that infection, and it’s a strong, united front. Tonight, I lead Jimmy and Jey into WAR in the Trios Match, and I remind them who their Tribal Chief is. I remind them what dominance looks like. Everything else is up to Shane McMahon.

Jarrett: Well, there goes my strategy, but that’s not the first time I’ve been caught off guard. My time is versatile. They are undefeated. Bloodline, you’re going to be introduced to The Hurt Business. We’ll go Wentz and Xavier for the tag.

McMahon: Excellent. They will go head to head with reDRagon who are making their tag team debut. Then, in singles competition, this guy has always put up points for me, Adam Cole Bay Bay.

Jarrett: Well, he’s got his work cut out for him against The King of Strong Style, Shinsuke Nakamura!


New York Titans at Memphis Kings

Cole: I’m Michael Cole joined by Pat McAfee and The Miz.

He drives it into the mat several times before applying a submission to it. The crowd gets behind Nakamura and he breaks free. He throws a series of chops and punches. He works Cole into the corner where he begins to throw kicks, but the pain in his leg is too much. Cole grabs him for the Panama Sunrise. Nakamura kicks out of the pin. Cole yells at the official who flashes his credentials and threatens a DQ. Cole sizes up Nakamura instead. He goes for the Killshot, but Shinsuke ducks. He hits a flurry of offense, and the crowd thinks he has a chance of winning. He goes for the Kinshasa, but Cole ducks. He hits him from behind with a chop block. He pulls the leg to the floor and throws the leg into the ring post. He goes for the pin, but Nakmura gets his good foot on the rope. He applies a kneebar, and it looks like it could be over. The crowd is solidly behind Shinsuke. He gets to the ropes. Cole hits the Killshot. It’s over.
Winner, Adam Cole [New York Titans] 20 Points

New York Titans at Memphis Kings
Post Game

M. Cole: Shane, you barely squeaked away a win tonight, how does it feel?

Reigns: We did not win tonight. We lost. The Bloodline FAILED. Jey, what the hell happened out there?

Jey: Well, remember a couple of weeks ago when we faced Punk and Danhausen?

Reigns: Yeah. You lost.

Jey: You remember how I got cursed?

Reigns: Don’t talk to me.

A. Cole: HEY! How about you talk about the person who put up numbers AGAIN? The person who won AGAIN!

McMahon: Congratulations Adam, I love it.

[It cuts to Pat McAfee.]

McAfee: One of the last undefeated streaks in the league ended. It’s gotta hurt, Jeff.

Jarrett: Of course it does. I think you summed it up well on commentary. This game felt like the officials played a factor more than the players did. I think we could still end the season 10-1.

Lashley: Jeff, I waited to do this because we were undefeated, but now I have no choice. I’d like to introduce you to your new assistant general manager. Montel Vontavious Porter, MVP.

[MVP offers Jarrett his hand who shakes with a confused look on his face.]





Kelley: Well, we’re a week away from Masters of the Trade, and things are heating up. We’ll give you the updated Season Rankings, and we’ll see you next week.

I do have to question how Konnan could possibly be surprised that JR played FTR as his tag team, because he's done that literally every single game. Unless Konnan was surprised by the trio JR went with, which... I would also be surprised by, yeah. So it's a little unclear. But in kayfabe it does expose a weakness in the team JR's constructed if his three best high-fliers include a man who sometimes does a moonsault and the shambling bone-bag that is Ricky Morton. But it's a weakness that makes sense since JR clearly looks down on high-flying wrestlers as a shoot, so I'm hoping there'll be a matchup that exploits that weakness in the future. Although, just me, I'd have had the aforementioned shambling bone bag take the fall in the trios and not the Team Captain and real-life best World's Champion in wrestling right now. \

Moving onto most recent post, I do love how much power referees have and what certain conferences will or won't let you get away with, it really helps this project actually feel like a sport.

Ricky Steamboat refers to Daniel Makabe as "one of the youngest players on our team."

My brother in Christ, Daniel Makabe is 37 years old.

Only Garcia and one Buck are younger than him. The rest are the same age or older... (Admittedly, I did think he was younger though. And they're all young to Ricky)

Appreciate the feedback!

Kelley: Hello, I’m Cathy Kelley. We’re less than a week away from Masters of the Trade where there will be four trades which can be singles, tags, or trios. The traded individuals will compete in matches for points that go toward the All-Star Tournament. There will also be the Free Agency Ladder Match. The winner will get to join a team of their choice. Now, it’s time to join Tony Schiavone in Detroit!

Austin Stunners (1-3) at Detroit Fuel (0-4)
Pre-Game

Schiavone: Hello everyone. We’ve got two great legends of the mat here today. They’re both excellent General Managers. Of course, I’m talking about Kevin Nash and Steve Austin. Welcome to the Eastern Conference, Steve. Let us know who you’re going to bring to the Trios Match tonight.

Austin: Hell yeah, Heath Slater and Rhyno have been itching to get a shot again, so I’m going to give it to them. They’re teaming up with Keith Lee tonight in the trios match.

Nash: I’m giving big Omos another chance to dominate, but I’m combining power with speed. He’s going to team with the Motor City Machine Guns. Then, in the tag team match, it’s going to be the Good Brothers.

Austin: The Good Brothers are a damn good tag team, but they’ve got to go up against Sheamus and Drew McIntyre. Now, I heard a thing or two about the Eastern Conference. We were here two weeks ago. Now, I know this conference is right up Lance Archer’s ally.

Nash: That may be true, but he’s gotta get past AJ Styles, and that’s easier said than done.


Austin Stunners (1-3) at Detroit Fuel (0-4)

Schiavone: Tonight, I’m just joined by Pat McAfee. Is that right?

McAfee: Right on, Tony. Taz is still suspended.

Schiavone: Well, we’ve got three great matches tonight.

McAfee: And it’s on the Eastern Conference rules, so just about anything goes!

Schiavone: They certainly seem right at home in the Eastern Conference.

McAfee: Here’s hoping they don’t get traded.

Schiavone: One man who either wants to be traded or end up in the Free Agency Ladder Match is AJ Styles.

Singles Match

Austin Stunners (1-4) at Detroit Fuel (1-4)
Post-Game

Schiavone: Kev, ya finally did it. You captured the first win for the Fuel.

Nash: That one was definitely dedicated to The Bad Guy. I’m proud of what my guys did out there. Hey! Mr. Twenty Points.

Styles: I always deliver, don’t I?

Nash: You do. It meant a little more to me tonight.

Styles: No problem.

Nash: Hope it might mean enough for you to stay….Consider staying?

Schiavone: All right…Well, let’s send it to Pat McAfee with the Austin Stunners.

[It cuts to Pat McAfee with the Austin Stunners.]

McAfee: Steve, the record moves to 1-4. It hurts especially moving into the trade deadline and the Free Agency Ladder Match.

Austin: Yeah, I’m open to trades. I’m clearly having a hard time making things work for these guys. I’ve got a lot of talent. I just have to figure out the way to make it work best for us. I haven’t given up yet, but I wouldn’t blame anybody that decided to ask for a trade or enter the Free Agency Ladder Match.



Kelley: Well, we move from two of the worst teams in the league to two teams with slightly better records. The Philly Revolution has been on a losing streak since Brock Lesnar has been suspended. Brock is back tonight, and they’re hosting the Memphis Kings who suffered their first loss last week and introduced an Assistant General Manager, MVP. Let’s send it to Philly.

Memphis Kings (3-1) at Philly Revolution (1-3)
Pre-Game

Schiavone: Here we are in Philadelphia! We’ve got Paul Heyman and Jeff Jarrett! Jeff, go ahead and announce your trio first.

Jarrett: Coming off our first loss isn’t fun, Tony. The Rascalz have been successful in trios action before, and I think they’re my best option for a trio this week.

Heyman: Very impressive, Jeff. I had a nice little trio on my team, but one of them has a psychotic father who put his hands on me. Therefore, I’m trying something different this week. My trio is going to be Lee Moriarty, Johnny Gargano, and Tomasso Ciampa. Then, I’m going to use Powerhouse Hobbs and Ricky Starks as my tag team for the first time.

Jarrett: Well, they’re going to have their work cut out for them because I’m playing my team captain Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura.

MVP: And we’re going to seal the deal in the main event when Bobby Lashley and The Hurt Business beat whatever sorry bum you’ve got.

Heyman: Sorry bum? Sorry bum? You must be forgetting. Brock Lesnar is back from suspension this week. BROCK LESNAR is going to dominate!


Memphis Kings (3-1) at Philly Revolution (1-3)

Schiavone: Tell me what you think about this Assistant GM thing, Pat.

McAfee: I don’t know how to read it. It’s almost like Lashley doesn’t trust Jarrett.

Schiavone: They were one of the best teams in the league.

McAfee: They’ve still only lost once.

The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz, Dezmond Xavier, and Trey Miguel) [Memphis Kings]

Schiavone: What an impressive win for that new trio!

Schiavone: Now, we’re heading into tag team action. Do you think Team Taz will be motivated by Brock?

McAfee: Are they even Team Taz if Taz is suspended?

Winners, Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura [Memphis Kings] 15 Points

McAfee: Hook just cost his own team!

Schiavone: He wasn’t suspended like his dad was through.

MVP, Shelton Benjamin, and Cedric Alexander come running down to the ring as Lashley rolls to the floor. Lesnar shakes his head and demands they come into the ring. Alexander comes into the ring, and Lesnar throws him around. Benjamin slides into the ring, and the two former friends go eye to eye. Lesnar gets control, but he’s playing with Benjamin. They fight over toward the ropes. Lashley tells the referee to call for a break, but Benjamin is not even in the match. While the official is distracted, MVP cracks Brock in the back of the head with his cane. Benjamin pulls Lesnar to the floor where he, MVP, and Alexander are putting the boots to him. Lashley finally loses the official who starts counting Lesnar out. Brock gets back in, but Lashley works him over. Finally, he builds to a Hurt Lock. The referee asks if Brock wants to give up, but he POWERS out of The Hurt Lock! Lashley looks shocked as Brock picks him up…F-5! Alexander jumps back into the ring. F-5! Benjamin slides back into the ring! F-5. Brock pins Lashley while he locks eyes with MVP almost daring him to get involved.

Memphis Kings (3-2) at Philly Revolution (2-3)
Post Game

McAfee: Jeff, you picked up your second loss tonight. It can’t be what you were hoping for.

Jarrett: It certainly wasn’t. I have a team that is falling apart. I think I’ve got Nakamura and Balor in my camp. I don’t know about The Rascalz. We’ve got some figuring out to do.

McAfee: Absolutely, man. Let’s send it to Tony in the Revolution locker room.

[It cuts to Tony Schiavone in the Philly Revolution locker room.]

Schiavone: Well-

Heyman: BROCK LESNAR IS BACK, BABY! HE’S BACK! TONY…Excuse me. Let me regain my composure. Look at this man, Brock Lesnar. Now, I know you were probably going to ask me some stupid question about Hook or Taz or something, but can we talk about this?! Brock Lesnar is BACK!

[Knock on the door.]

Heyman: Who’s there? [to Tony] It must be the champagne I ordered.

“Yeah, they said I couldn’t come down to the ring. They didn’t say anything about the locker room.”

[The door FLIES OPEN, AND IT’S ‘HANGMAN’ ADAM PAGE! HE ATTACKS LESNAR, AND THE TWO MEN ARE BRAWLING IN THE LOCKER ROOM.]

Heyman: BROCK! NO! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! BROCK!



Kelley: Something has to give! What will happen in this feud between Brock Lesnar and ‘Hangman’ Adam Page?! Thursday, we will see Hangman’s team, the OKC Cowboys take on the challenge of the 0-4 Atlanta Dream. Then, the two top teams in the league will go to war as the Second City Saints head to Seattle to face the Dragons.
