We see a recap of NWA EmPowerrr.
Before the next match, Tasha Steelz and Savannah Evans attack Rosemary and Havok before Decay competes as they hid in No Way’s konga line
MATCH 2
Black Taurus & Crazzy Steve vs. Fallah Bahh & No Way
Right as the match starts we go to commercial break and back from it, Black Taurus battles with No Way before soon enough it is Bahh and Steve. Steve gets the better of Bahh and gets the surprising W with a leaping DDT off the top rope.
WINNERS: Crazzy Steve & Black Taurus
W. Morrissey thinks Sami has some guff hitting him with a baseball bat, but he respects the fact that they openly don’t like each other. Moose enters to say they both have issues with Sami Callihan and Eddie Edwards. He’s not looking for friendship, he’s looking for an alliance.
Steve Maclin says Petey Willims calls himself the Canadian Destroyer, but he doesn’t know anything about destruction. Next week it’s Maclin vs. Williams.
Out comes Moose. He then calls out Eddie Edwards who slides in with a kendo. Things unravel quickly as Eddie tackles him before giving him a shot in the gut. Sure enough, W. Morrissey comes in and both big men gang up on Edwards. They eventually hit an assisted powerbomb on the man.
Gia Miller asks Fallah Bahh and No Way if they knew about Tasha Steelz and Savannah. The two say they had no part in that. TJP enters and he patches it up with Fallah Bahh and No Way. Next week TJP wants to head to Swinger’s Palace next week. He’s got a sure thing bet.
After break, Violent By Design says that “the disease” is back in Rhino and they must break him down again. He’s shown being chained to a pole in some sort of prison/basement.
Josh Alexander comes out for his open challenge and who returns but Jake Crist.
MATCH 3
X-Division Open Challenge
Jake Crist vs. Josh Alexander (c)
Josh quickly gets the better of Jake who goes to the ropes to reset. Alexander still stays in control with a powerslam. He goes up top eventually but Jake hits a superplex and a flip slam for a near fall. A rear chin lock is administered before Crist gouges his eyes. Alexander gets shoulder thrusts from Alexander. A crisp boot by Crist gets a two count. Front chancery by Jake before he flips over for a chop block. Boos come Jake’s way. He focuses his attack on the left leg with a leg DDT to Josh. He also continues to deliver eye rakes.
Shots get traded between the two until Josh nails a picture-esque back body drop. He then hits a mighty crisp running boot. Alexander goes for his underhook finisher but calls an audible with with three Germans, but only gets two off (briefly) until he pops the ears and hits the third one. C4 Spike and it’s all over.
WINNER and STILL X-Division Champion: Josh Alexander
Gia gets a post-match interview. Alexander says he has to be in the conversation of greatest X-Division Champion before it’s all said and done. That brings out Chris Sabin. He praises Josh Alexander that he’s one of the greatest wrestlers he’s ever seen, but he’s only a one-time X-Division Champion. Sabin is an eight time X-Division Champion. If he wants to prove himself as the greatest X-Division Champion of all time, then he needs to beat the greatest. Sabin challenges him to a title match at Victory Road.
We see some geeks doing auditions for Brian Myers’ try-outs. We cut to Brian and he’s not quite happy. They’re all backstage. He starts cutting folks. It’s Manny Lemons, Gustavo and…Zicky Dice. Gustavo gets cut. After Zicky cuts some Outlandish zingers back at Myers, he’s about to get cut, but Beale convinces Myers to hang on to him as it will be two left.
MATCH 4
Chelsea Green & Matt Cardona vs. Rohit Raju & Shera
Cardona and Shera start it off. Shera hits a pounce on Matt. Big bodyslam. Big elbow drop. Chelsea and Matt show some tag chemistry against Rohit. Rohit turns his back on Chelsea and she rolls him up. Rohit goes for a backbreaker but gets head-scissored. Shera refuses to hit Cheslea, Chelsea hits him and Rohit hits a jumping high knee and pins Chelsea.
WINNERS: Rohit Raju & Shera
We see Kimber Lee and Su Yung. Lee says sometimes they take souls and sometimes they convert. We see Brandi Lauren in the same chilling look as Yung and Lee. She’s a part of the trio now.
