The show starts off with TGW Superstar, Russell Franchise making his way to the ring. The fans are on their feet chanting for the A Game as he slides into the ring.
Franchise: That's what's up! Make some noise!
He gets the cheep pop are the continue to cheer and chant for him.
Franchise: All of you saw last week what went down at Corrupted Dreams. Adams tried to skirt around the issue at hand, I KNOW he had something to do with that drug test. He didn't want to admit it to my face so I'll just have to beat it out of him.
The fans want the match as they cheer.
Franchise: So, Adams, I know you're here tonight. Bring your ass down here and let's do the damn thing!
"City is at War" by Cobra Starship starts to hit as there is a mixed reaction. Adams doesn't come out though as Franchise is starting to get angry. AJ Adams pops up on the big screen with a smile.
AJ Adams: Oh, Russell. You know I have a better idea. Why don't you enter yourself into the tournament for the Volitionary title and I'll see you in the finals?
There is a mixed reaction, the fans wanting to see them go at it now and in the finals.
Franchise: Good news for you, I'm already entered. I'm going to win my title back AND kick your ass Adams. Then, you'll admit what you did.
In a double debut match, the speed and high flying of Williams caught the power of Taylor off guard. Williams threw kick after kick at Taylor, focusing on the legs to bring him down. Williams seemed to have the upper hand until Taylor leveled him with a powerbomb as he came off the top ropes. Taylor started to beat down Williams and finally connected with the Burnout for the win.
The fans may not have known who Myers was since this was his debut match, but there were surely behind him as Norton made his way out. He blew them off and just walked around the ring, making Myers grow impatient. Myers finally had enough and rolled under the ropes to go after him. Norton dove into the ring and jumped to his feet. As Myers shook his head he started to slide into the ring, head first, and was hit with a punt kick to the head from Norton!
The fans boo'ed as Myers struggled to get to his feet, but connected with a few punches. Norton ducked a desperation clothesline and as Myers turned, he was hit with the Anguish and the match was over.
A camera roamed backstage in TGW's home arena in San Diego. The halls were quieter than usual, but as it turned the corner, this hall was filled with talking between the Rainbow Angel and the new BWF World Champion. Xaria and Gabe were seated atop of a couple crates, a bowl of California rolls on her lap with a pair of chopsticks in her right hand. They were sitting so close together that her head was rested against his shoulder.
Xaria Linette: "... the look on David Chickenwing's face was so funny. He couldn't believe his eyes when you stood as the winner of the match. I think he was crying on the inside."
Gabe Shelley: "Oh, I wouldn't doubt it. He really thought that Katie was going to be able to walk away as the winner of that match. He did send me a text message a few hours later but it was a simple, 'Congrats' and nothing more. He's pretty upset."
He smiled as he was handed a piece of California roll from the end of Xaria's chopsticks. Gabe chewed his food as he rested up against her as well, people just passing by admiring the two.
Xaria giggled, stuck her tongue out for a moment and popped a California roll into her mouth. She thoroughly chewed before swallowing and nuzzled him some more. She enjoyed being with him; it was clear in her sparkling green eyes.
Xaria Linette: "That's what he gets for being so careless. If I were him, I would've done my best to win the world title, especially since it was going to be the last time it was up for grabs. I guess he just didn't have the heart like you do."
Tilting her head up, she planted a sweet little kiss on her champion's cheek.
He blushed slightly at her sweet words, nodding along with her.
Gabe Shelley: "Well, that's hard to do now isn't it? Speaking of, today I was asked what your plans are. Are you going to make Alli's life hell?"
She couldn't help but flash a wide grin at his curiosity and lightly swung her legs back and forth, careful not to knock over the bowl on her lap. A tilt of her head and she thought about the question for a moment.
Xaria Linette: "I have a plan, but I don't have all the steps yet. I'm still gathering information and trying to figure things out..."
Her eyes gazed into his and they flickered.
Xaria Linette: "... that doesn't bother you, does it? The things I want to do to her? The justice I want to bring forth? The evil I want to rid of this company?"
He squinted his eyes out of curiously and shrugged his shoulders.
Gabe Shelley: "I understand how you feel towards her, after the things she's done. You also know I can't control what it is you do as far as redemption for those things.."
He pauses for a brief moment and takes a sip from a near by water bottle before offering some to Xaria.
She listened to what he had to say, but it just didn't seem to absorb. Was something amiss? Or maybe she was being too cautious? Either way, she picked up another California roll, placed it in her mouth and chewed on it. For a moment there was the comfort or the weirdness of their silence before she finally decided to swallow.
Xaria Linette: "... Gabe... you're all that I really have left in this world. I mean... I know I have my friends and my extended family... but you are the reason my heart continues to beat and pump blood throughout my entire body..."
He looked at her and just smiled, wondering what caused the sudden burst of emotion.
Gabe Shelley: "...Xaria, I don't know what to say. You know how I feel and that hasn't changed since that first day in Paris. 'I got you.' Remember?
He brushed away her bangs from her face and stared deeply into her bright shiny eyes.
Gabe Shelley: "You are the most important person in my life."
She looked into his shimmering blue eyes, reached a hand up and ran her fingers through his dirty blonde strands of hair. His words were honest and true. She knew this. ... She hoped this... drawing that hand away, she used it to take a roll in between her forefinger and thumb, placed it between her lips and leaned towards him.
He grinned, Xaria being her silly-self and he leaned in. He bit into the exposed part of the roll and they shared a soft kiss. He pulled back and patted his BWF Title and handed it to Xaria.
Gabe Shelley: "You should go get you one of these."
She was a bit surprised when she placed his world championship on her lap besides the almost-empty bowl. Her eyes observed it carefully and a spark of intrigue shined.
Xaria Linette: "... There have been rumors spreading around that I was interested in French Montana's TGW title..."
Tilting her head, she looked back to him and smiled.
Xaria Linette: "Well, actually, those aren't rumors."
He let out a smile and faked a gasp.
Gabe Shelley: "Do you mean, Xaria is ready to step back into the ring?"
Xaria Linette: "You better believe it, mon amour."
The fans were going wild, and rightfully so. Her lips curled up into a brighter smile. She set the bowl aside, placed the BWF title between them and captured his lips in a more passionate kiss.
His fingers ran through her hair as they kissed, sharing a loving embrace. Their hands interlocked as the fans hooted and hollered. The kiss broke off and both smiled, placing their foreheads together.
Gabe Shelley: "I do believe, I believe in you."
Xaria Linette: "Et je t'aime."
Her words meant "And I love you" in French. She wished she could stay like this with him forever...
Before Gabe could respond, the sound of something shuffling around across the floor catches both of their attention. TGW Majority Owner, Alli Taylor, stands not to far off. Her eyes are locked on the two lovers, sadness in her eyes as she starts to walk towards them.
Gabe sighs as Xaria perks her head up.
Gabe Shelley: "What do--"
Before he can even start, Xaria jumps in.
And she jumped down from the crates and put her fists up, positioning herself in a fighting stance. Her eyes locked on Alli and she frowned.
Xaria Linette: "Whatever you're trying to do, don't do it. I'm not in the mood."
Alli put her hands up, as if to come in peace.
Alli Taylor: "I'm surely not here to fight you Xaria, I just happened to overhear that you are wanting to come back to TGW. I figure now is as good as a time as any to let you know that it's already official. Next week, Xaria Linette makes her TGW in-ring return."
The fans start to go crazy at the annoucement.
Alli Taylor: "But you're starting all the way at the bottom of the ladder. You want to be somebody in this company, you have to work for it. This isn't Wade Mason's company where he can just go and hand out title shot where he sees fit."
Very slowly, Xaria started to lower her fists. However, that didn't mean her guard was down-- not one bit. Her eyes, now full of determination, remained on Alli as she exhaled slowly.
Xaria Linette: "Don't worry, I don't want anything to be gift-wrapped and handed to me. As a heroine of love and justice, I will rightfully fight my way to the top and earn my rewards."
Gabe slides off the crates and puts his arm around Xaria, looking at Alli.
Gabe Shelley: "Is that all you need? Cause I'm sure you have other things to take care of than try and stir the pot."
Alli smiles and looks at her watch.
Alli Taylor: "I actually do have somewhere to be."
She shoots Xaria a glare and a fake smile.
Alli Taylor: "Good luck next week, Xaria."
In response, Xaria simply raised her right hand with the back facing Alli and lowered all her fingers and her thumb-- except for the middle finger. To make matters better-- or worse for the new owner-- she sticks her tongue out with a drawn out "pbbt!" sound. The crowd was eating it up.
Alli rolled her eyes and turned her back towards them, walking away. Gabe couldn't help but laugh as he kissed Xaria's cheek.
Gabe Shelley: "Goof."
Xaria giggled and kissed Gabe on the cheek in return upon the tips of her toes.
Xaria Linette: "I am, but so are you."
She brushed her hands through his hair, gently secured them around the back of his neck and laced her fingers together. They kissed again, soft and sweet, fitting each other perfectly.
At least we all hoped so...
Jessie made her way to the ring with the fans behind her, a smile on her face. Logan came down and the two stared off. Logan offered a hand shake to Jessie before the match start to the delight of the fans. After they shook hands, Jessie attacked with a few chops and sent him flying with a monkey flip. Both popped up but Jessie speared him into the corner and hit a few elbows. With Logan disoriented, she got a running start and did a few flips, connecting with a modified Heartbreaker.
Logan fell forward to a knee and she was to the top of the ropes. She dove and connected with the Sweet Kiss and covered for the win.
In the backstage area, we hear Alli Taylor and Wade Mason yelling at each other.
Alli Taylor: ...I don't care if you say Norton is the number one contender, because it isn't your decision! If he doesn't work for ME, then I don't care about what he wants.
Wade Mason: Oh, so it's just a matter of him signing a contract with you and then he can go for the title? It's that easy?
The fans are booing the thought of Norton being named number one contender.
Alli Taylor: If I have control of his contract, then I'll give him a shot to become number one contender in 2 weeks.
Wade Mason: Done.
Mason pulls out a folder and hands it to Taylor. She looks it over and nods.
Alli Taylor: ...Well... Alright..
She turns and walks out the door as Mason pulls out his phone, dialing a number.
Wade Mason: Yeah, she fell for it. Norton is her problem now..... Yeah, we'll meet up this week and go over everything...... Don't you worry, no one will even see it coming.
The match never happened as Vaux was set to come out he was no where to be seen. Montana posed with the TGW Title as we went backstage.
The camera turned to Nikko TaDa, who was here tonight and was currently walking down the hallways. He was lost in thought for a moment as he had his music on his iPod blasting. "Ice Queen" by Within Temptation was currently playing on there. Along the way, he ran into his sensei, Kaori Shikagami. Shikagami turned to face her pupil as she heard the music.
Kaori Shikagami: You shouldn't be having your music blasting like that. You'll go deaf in the ears.
TaDa, unfortunatly couldn't hear her since his music was up too loud. He faced her with confusion and speaking loudly.
Nikko TaDa: What?
Shikagami shook her head as she pulled the ear buds out of his ears and finally had TaDa's attention.
Nikko TaDa: Ow! What was that for, Sensei
Kaori Shikagami: I was trying to talk to you, but you had your music blasting. Next time, turn off your iPod. We need to talk.
Once she said that, The Oni Tamago seemed a bit puzzled about that. He just shrugged as he turned to Shikagami as he put his iPod away.
Nikko TaDa: About your trip to Tokyo, right?
He scoffed as he leaned against the wall with his arms folded. The Lightning Empress took a deep breath and then let it out slowly. She knew what she had to do as well as what Echkhard told her and TaDa about helping themselves first. She turned to her pupil.
Kaori Shikagami: It's not about that. It's about what I have done to get myself into this mess and hopefully you won't do it either.
TaDa began to wonder what mess she has caused to head down the road she was currently on. He knew very little about her, but he remembered her telling him not to follow her footsteps. He filled up with suspicion.
Nikko TaDa: What... did you do? And why are you preventing me from doing it?
Kaori took another deep breath, letting it out slowly.
Kaori Shikagami: Everyone knows about my bad reputation here, especially those that I knew back in eWo. You probably are aware of it as well from the stories that have been going around and... from what Mr. Echkhard had said...
Nikko TaDa: Bad reputation?
He thought about that for a moment as he questioned himself about his sensei.
Kaori Shikagami: Hai, I have a bad reputation of alcohol abuse... I... almost died by mixing alcohol with medication. I know... it was stupid of me, and that's why I don't want you following my footsteps and seek redemption because if you do, sooner or later... you will end up alone.
Nikko was surprised to hear all of this from his sensei. She has never opened up to him about situations like this, but after hearing all of this, he didn't want to hear anymore and slammed his fist against the wall.
Nikko TaDa: That's enough. I don't want to hear anymore. Getting high is bad enough, but mixing alcohol with medication? That's a lot worse than drugs itself. I... I've heard enough...
He shook his head and then walked off with slight tears in his eyes which was a rare thing for him. He understood now on why she didn't want him to go down the same path she was on which made him upset.
It was time for the main event and these two were ready to go. Starr started with a quick offensive of punches, chops, and kicks. Starr went to dive off the middle rope in a springboard attempt, but Rick caught her and speared her to the ground. He locked in a series of headlocks and tried to keep her grounded with a Russian Leg Sweep into a leg lock.
Starr started to land a few punches to try and break the hold before reaching out and grabbing the ropes. Both competitors were to their feet and Starr was doubled over with a kick to the gut. Rick started to set her up for the MadPlex but pulled herself down for a implant DDT. She climbed to the top and dove, connecting with the Shooting Star and covered, however only getting 2.
No one could believe it as the got to their feet and Rick dropped Starr with a hard clothesline. He started to pick her up but Starr pulled him down with a small package, getting 3 just as Rick kicked out.
Rick pleaded with the ref that he was up just before 3 but got no where. Rick smiled, knowing he almost had her as Starr rolled out of the ring.
Franchise: That's what's up! Make some noise!
He gets the cheep pop are the continue to cheer and chant for him.
