[The Monday Night Carnage video package plays over the screen before the cameras begin panning around showing off the audience in attendance and the people watching at home on the ICW Virtual Screen.]
(Def Leppard's “Kick” starts to play in the arena as the crowd rises to their feet, and cheers for Gracie Lopez! As they do the pyro on stage spray across the stage and Gracie makes her way on stage with the world title around her waist. However, A black duffel bag is hanging over her shoulder.)
Battle of the Ring Veterans
(The show goes to inside the office of ICW Owner James Gibbs where he is about to tell Rom Youngblood and Dean Andry of Extreme Justice what will happen regarding the ICW Tag Team Championship. Destiny Andry is also here at the meeting. Darren Maddox is not present for the obvious reason being he is now undergoing intense treatment in his current battle against stomach cancer.)
Aiden Zane vs Robert Saints
Line in the Sand by Motorhead plays over the arena as Robert Saints and his wife Kelly Robinson make their way out to the entrance ramp as red pyro hits down the sides of the entrance ramp making its way towards the ring as Robert Saints and his wife Kelly Robinson now make their way down the entrance ramp to the ring. Robert Saints bounces onto the ring apron and then enters between the top and middle ropes into the ring as Kelly Robinson stands up onto the ring apron and does her trademark split under the bottom rope and then Kelly Robinson exits the ring and waits in her husband's corner as Robert Saints waits for his opponent to come out.
Bulletproof by Godsmack hits the arena and Aiden Zane comes onto the stage and stops to look out at the fans who are cheering for him. He makes his way to the ring, gets into the ring and he looks out at the fans.
Both men then walk to the center of the ring then trade punches back and forth until Zane whips Saints into the ropes and upon the rebound and hits a powerslam and waits for Saints to slowly get back to his feet and hits a German Supplex on Saints then goes for a quick pin, but Saints kicks out at one!
Both men get back to their feet as Saints hits a Double Arm DDT on Zane then follows it up with a powerslam then puts Zane in the Figure Four!
The referee asks Zane if he wants to submit and shakes his head no and starts punching away at the knees of Saints who releases the hold and both men again get to their feet, but Saints somehow spears Zane!
Saints gets fired up and tries to hit the Viper Cutter, but Zane reverses it into a roll up!
One....
Two...
Three!!!!
Rick Henderson: Here's your winner Aiden Zane!
Zane slides out of the ring as Robert Saints looks pissed and can't believe Zane beat him in that fashion.
Winner: Aiden Zane via Pinfall
(Commercial Break)
Travis D. Hall vs Adam Gatner
The show returns from commercials as Travis Deacon Hall and Adam Gatner are already in the ring as the referee checks both men for illegal objects before asking for the bell to ring to start the match.
(Gracie is seen walking backstage with the world championship over her shoulder this time, as she’s walking the hallways, Malcolm Reed stops her.)
Malcolm Reed: So, we heard the news about Madison earlier, how do you feel about it?
Gracie: It’s a gut punch for sure, I saw it happen and it was nasty! The way she screamed when it happened too, it’s never going to leave my memory. I feel sorry for her, she was on a roll here in this place and she was starting to find herself as a wrestler and as a person. She was growing confident too and to see all of that hard work ruined? Yeah, it’s a gut punch for sure.
Malcolm Reed: Any idea when she’ll return?
Gracie: Doctors say 12 months or more, she tore everything in that knee. I guess we’ll see what happens in the future.
Malcolm Reed: Well, let’s turn your attention to the world title, I know you said something earlier about performing in a different place, you still hold that remark?
Gracie: I do, and listen. Enforcer’s match is coming up shortly and I know he’s going he’s facing Jenn, and I’m going to keep an eye on that match, for Enforcer and for Jenn too. I want to scout out my opponents and know what they’re going to do before I really sit down and do my homework, so you may see me out there on stage, but don’t worry I’m not going to interfere in the match though. I just want to see what Enforcer can really do, I know he’s been around this business for years but nothing really impresses me about him, I hope to see something new from him….
Malcolm Reed: It’s smart to scout your opponents including Enforcer.
Gracie: It’s true, plus I’m a student of this sport. Always have been, and I’m doing to scout people like Enforcer so supposedly been in this business for years, so let’s see how that goes. But for now, let me go watch this match in peace!
(Gracie walks away from Malcolm in the hallway as she’s walking towards her locker room, to watch the match and maybe she may sneak out there to watch it in person as well.)
(As the bell rings, the match starts off fast between Riley and Mccarver. Riley has Mccarver in the corner and rams his shoulder into his gut until the ref reached the 5 count, he slowly pushes Riley back. Riley tries to strike Mccarver but Mccarver shoved him to the ground with a smile on his face. Riley gets back up on his feet and tries to charge Mccarver but McCarver's scoop slams him to the crowd's delight.)
George Sullivan: McCarver isn’t taking of Riley’s antics tonight, and who can blame him?
Harley Meisner: OR it could be Riley playing mind games with McCarver.
Sara Butler: I agree with Harley, Riley is known to play mind games in this place.
(Riley gets up on his feet and locks up with McCarver, and Riley gets the upper hand but McCarver is too strong for that to happen for too long. McCarver fights his way back into the match by throwing Riley over the top rope to the arena floor. McCarver follows Riley to the floor, and they fight on the outside.)
George Sullivan: I hope they don’t fight around here, we’ve already had someone in our laps tonight, we don’t want another.
Harley Meisner: I’ll sheld myself with Sara Butler…
Sara Butler: Touch me and find out….
(They fight around the ring for a few minutes, Riley broke up the 9 count a couple of times. They even battle halfway up the ramp but then return to the ringside area. McCarver throws Riley shoulder first into the steps at ringside. McCarver rolls into the ring to break up the count of 9 before rolling back out. He picks up Riley by the ears, but Riley pokes him in the eye away from the ref, Riley throws McCarver into the barricade at ringside before he slides into the ring. The ref starts to count and as the ref creeps closer to the 9 count, Riley starts yelling at the ref to count faster as he can see McCarver starting to move around. McCarver dives into the ring at the count of 9…)
George Sullivan: Riley is angry at the ref for counting slow.
Harley Meisner: I would be too!
(As the match progresses, Riley and McCarver are going back and forth keeping the crowd highly entertained, they even traded pinfall attempts with each other. While going back and forth, Riley starts to swing the momentum towards his side as he overpowers Mccarver. But McCarver isn’t the type of person that won’t let that happen, so he starts to fight back as well, it’s a back and forth battle for both of them still, nobody hasn’t gotten solid footing yet.)
Sara Bulter: It’s a battle here, and this is what the main event is supposed to be! Listen to the crowd too, they love it.
(McCarver starts to gain some control for himself but as he throws Riley into the corner, Riley hits the turnbuckles and bounces of them, and hits McCarver with a knee tackle, that takes out McCarver’s right knee. Riley starts to work on the knee, without letting up on it. McCarver tries to fight back with one leg but Riley keeps going after the knee like a shark smelling blood. The match gets to a point where the ref checks on McCarver but he wants to keep going, but Riley attacks the leg even more. McCarver’s base is taken out from under him and he’s struggling to make it to his feet.)
George Sullivan: This isn’t good….McCarver is fighting for his life.
Harley Meisner: He’s still fighting.
(Riley hits “The Bonfire” on McCarver, who was still fighting at that point but he lays flat on the mat now and Riley slithers to cover him.)
1……..
2……….
3!
George Sullivan: That’s a big win for Riley here.
Harley Mesiner: McCarver gave everything he had, but after the attacks on the leg, it wasn’t going to hold up and Riley was too strong at the end.
Sara Butler: There’s always next time!
Winner: Skillet Riley
(Show fades away to darkness)
(Def Leppard's “Kick” starts to play in the arena as the crowd rises to their feet, and cheers for Gracie Lopez! As they do the pyro on stage spray across the stage and Gracie makes her way on stage with the world title around her waist. However, A black duffel bag is hanging over her shoulder.)
George Sullivan: What’s that on her shoulder?
Harley Meisner: I have no idea but I think I have an idea though.
Sara Butler: A new championship maybe? Who knows.
(Gracie makes her way into the ring with the duffel bag, before she places it down she asks the stage hand for the microphone. The music dies down but the cheers can still be heard, Gracie smiles toward the fans before raising the mic up.)
Gracie: Buffallooooooo! I’ve always loved this town, even as a little kid when my dad used to wrestle, I loved to visit this place. You guys are rowdy!
(The crowd cheers her as she smiles at them.)
Gracie: I have 2 things I want to address while I’m out here but first I need someone from management to come out here, please.
(Gracie leans on the top rope and waits, it took a second before Nigel Bartholomew makes his way to the ring. He is the head of creative of course, and he’s gonna be treated as such! As he makes his way to the ring, he’s confused as to why he’s out there, to begin with.)
Gracie: You don’t need to speak, let me do it. You and I both know how dangerous this wrestling business can be on camera and behind the camera while everyone trains, well this past week your women’s champion, Madison suffered a serious injury….
(Gracie lifts the duffel bag up and unzips it, she reaches in and pulls out the women’s title.)
Gracie: Since she can’t fulfill her championship duties, she’s relinquishing the women’s title. She would be here to do it but her doctors told her she couldn’t travel with her knee so messed up and she told me to do it, so here I am. You can do whatever you want with that championship, I know there’s a triple threat for it but the other 2 can fight for it or whatever.
(Nigel asks for a microphone)
Nigel: I’m sorry that Madison couldn’t compete her championship duties but the show must go on and you’re right, this championship will STILL be defended at the next show as a singles match. Whoever wins that match becomes the champion!
Gracie: That’s great! I guess it’s a new era for the women’s division I can’t wait to see what they can do now!
Nigel: I can’t wait either! Thanks for giving us the championship back, I can only imagine hard it was for her to give it up like that without losing it, but let her know that when she returns, she has a spot when she returns!
(Gracie nods her head before turning her attention to her championship.)
Gracie: Now as far as my championship goes, I’m excited to defend this in a new country that I’ve never been to before and see those happy smiling faces. Enforcer and Hall are going to be a tough task and I’m ready for it, I’m ready to take this championship and this company into new hights it’s never been, just like Madison did for the women’s championship!
Nigel: I wish you all the best at Summerheat!
(Nigel leaves the ring but Gracie remains in there pumping up the crowd!)
George Sullivan: Man, Madison being injured hurts the women’s division, she’s held that championship for over a year now!
Harley Meisner: It sucks, but there’s nothing we can do about it, but wish her the best of luck in her surgery.
Sara Butler: It’s hard to lose a big star like her but it also gives everyone a new opportunity to go after the championship!
Battle of the Ring Veterans
Jennifer Makarios vs The Enforcer
(The bell rings as Enforcer and Jenn lock up in the middle of the ring. Enforcer gets the early advantage by doing some chain wrestling, a typical start for some wrestlers. Enforcer backs Jenn back into the corner and they keep the hold locked in into the ref breaks them up, and with a clean break, Enforcer backs away. Jenn nods her head with a smile but the smile fades away as they lock up again, this time Jenn flips Enforcer on his back with a side headlock, and she hooks in a headlock while both are on the ground.)

Jenn nods her head with a smile but the smile fades away as they lock up again, this time Jenn flips Enforcer on his back with a side headlock, and she hooks in a headlock while both are on the ground.)
George Sullivan: Pretty back and forth so far in this match, but we’re far from over.
Harley Meisner: For how long? We know that Jenn likes to pick up the pace and Enforcer like the slower speed, it’s a clash of styles but we’ll see what happens.
Sara Butler: I’ve noticed a change in attitude in Jenn as well, she’s becoming more aggressive.
(Enforcer quickly gets to the rope to get Jenn off of him which works. Enforcer slides himself to the outside of the ring to gather himself, but soon he’s followed by Jenn. Enforcer spots her in the corner of his eye and tries to get back to him but Jenn grabs his foot and yanks him out. They start throwing fists outside the ring, and Jenn throws Enforcer into the barricade. As the ref’s count starts rising, Jenn notices this and rolls back in at the count of 9 but as she rolls in, she rolls back out. As she does Enforcer hits her in the face with a stiff forearm that sends Jenn to the ground.)
Harley Meisner: That was a stiff shot there!
George Sullivan: That’s going to anger Jenn even more, I mean look at her impression now!
(Jenn slides back into the ring after that shot and she punches Enforcer in the mouth for revenge, and her attitude starts to change. Enforcer starts to notice the change and tries to keep her down, so he hits her with a big boot and a sidewalk slam, he even goes for a pin.)
1………
2…….
(Jenn shoots her shoulder up, Enforcer stays on the attack but Jenn starts to fight back to feet. At first, the Enforcer is the strongest person at the moment so he keeps Jenn grounded. Enforcer stands Jenn back up on her feet and shoots her into the ropes, but she leaps on the 2nd rope and flies over the head of Enforcer and hits a sunset flip which turns into a pin.)
1…..
2……..
(Enforcer kicks out and rolls out of the ring after that, he’s trying to catch his breath. As he walks around on the outside, he doesn’t know that Jenn is running the ropes again, and she hits a baseball slide on him, Enforcer hits the barricade after the kick. Jenn slides to the outside now, and they start to fight again around the padded arena floor.)
George Sullivan: They’re starting to get more aggressive in this match.
Harley Meisner: While that’s true, I have a feeling this match is gonna catch up with them, they’ve been aggressive and it’ll take a toll.
(Jenn takes control of the match when she smashes Enforcer’s forehead off the announce table and throws him across the table. The announcers scramble away because they don’t want to get hit by him, Jenn slides halfway into the ring before backing back out to break up the count. As she got back out, Enforcer throws her into the steps and rolls her into the ring. This gives him a break from her to finally catch his breath.)
George Sullivan: Jenn hit those steps pretty hard there, and the ref is starting to slowly count.
Harley Meisner: I don’t think Jenn will make it back into the ring..
(at the count of 9, Jenn shaggers her way into the ring, and Enforcer stays on the attack! Enforcer picks up her hair and throws her into the corner. Jenn bounces off the corner and hits Enforcer with a thunderous clothesline that spins Enforcer inside out! Both competitors are on the ground and breathing heavily as the match is taking its toll on them. As they start to stand up, Enforcer catches someone in the corner of his eye, and it’s the world champion! Gracie is standing on stage and she’s clapping in a sarcastic tone. Enforcer turns around and eats a superkick by Jenn!)
Harley Meisner: What the hell was that!? Why is she out here?
George Sullivan: Scouting her next couple of world title opponents, we know she’s facing Enforcer soon, and she did say Enforcer better impress her, and she never touched him.
(Jenn crawls for the cover.)
1…….
2………
3!
(Jenn spots her daughter on stage and looks confused as to why she’s out there. All Gracie does is smirk towards her before turning to walk into the back holding the world title high above her head.)
George Sullivan: That leaves more questions than answers!
Sara Butler: She has a target on her back and she knows everyone including Jenn is coming after her, and like you said she’s scouting Enforcer. She never touched anybody in this match.
Winner: Jenn Makarios-Lopez
(The show goes to inside the office of ICW Owner James Gibbs where he is about to tell Rom Youngblood and Dean Andry of Extreme Justice what will happen regarding the ICW Tag Team Championship. Destiny Andry is also here at the meeting. Darren Maddox is not present for the obvious reason being he is now undergoing intense treatment in his current battle against stomach cancer.)
James Gibbs: I'm going to keep this brief. It is time you find out what will happen with the tag team titles.
Rom Youngblood: Go on then. Tell us. We're waiting.
James Gibbs: At Summer Heat ppv, Dean will be filling in for Darren as the interim tag team partner with you Rom, as per the ICW freebird rule.
Dean Andry: That's good news then. I can't wait to defend the tag titles alongside my brotha Rom.
Rom Youngblood: Who are we defending against?
James Gibbs: That will be announced when the Summer Heat card has been finalized.
James Gibbs: That was all I had to say to you both, so you can all go now.
(Destiny suddenly speaks up to James.)
Destiny Andry: Not so fast... This meeting isn't quite adjourned yet. Since you're in the process of deciding on matches for Summer Heat, I'm here to tell you that I want a match of my own sanctioned.
James Gibbs: Oh? And what match would that be Destiny?
Destiny Andry: I want a match against that punk Skillet Riley!
James Gibbs: Why exactly do you want a match against Skillet?
Destiny Andry: Because he deserves to get his ass kicked, that's why! For all the trouble he's caused for Darren and for Extreme Justice! I'm beyond angry and frustrated with this guy and I deserve to get a shot at him in that ring!
Dean Andry: She's got a valid point ol' Gibbo.
Rom Youngblood: This is true Gibbs. And not just that, a match with Destiny facing Skillet Riley, just think of how many fans would love to see this happen. The whole ICW Universe would pay to see this match no questions asked.
Destiny Andry: You want what's best for business don't you James? Just sanction this match or I swear I'll just go find the little asshole myself backstage and beat the shit out of him and you won't get to cash in on it. The choice is yours.
(Dean smirks and looks at Rom.)
Dean Andry: I just love it when she gets all tough like this.
(Destiny keeps her eyes on James.)
Destiny Andry: This match will be in honor of Darren. Surely you won't deprive me of that?
(James thinks for a moment, then makes his decision.)
James Gibbs: I don't see any reason why Destiny can't get a match against Skillet. I actually think it would be a great match, so alright Destiny. You will face Skillet Riley at Summer Heat.
(Dean, Destiny, and Rom are all smirking at James for a few moments, then the three of them slowly walk out of his office.)

Travis D. Hall vs Adam Gatner
The show returns from commercials as Travis Deacon Hall and Adam Gatner are already in the ring as the referee checks both men for illegal objects before asking for the bell to ring to start the match.
Harley Meisner: Neither man is taking their eyes off of the other.
Sara Butler: It's the meeting of the big men and you know that these two men couldn't wait to get at one another.
George Sullivan: Travis seems to have a more reactive response from the crowd here tonight unlike Adam.
The two men come out of their respective corners and ignore the referee's demand of them to show each other respect with the Code of Honor.
Travis and Adam lock up in a test of strength with Adam pushing Travis back into one of the corners until the referee gets between the two men trying to break up the two men as Travis pokes Adam in the eyes as the referee wasn't looking as he was getting Adam away from Travis.
Adam is then placed into a side headlock from Travis as he continues to increase the pressure as the referee checks to make sure it's not an illegal choke. Adam struggles to get back up to his feet and then connects with a side suplex that finally gets Travis off of him.
Harley Meisner: Adam was able to stop the momentum of Travis with that side suplex.
Sara Butler: Adam needs to regroup if he wants to win this match.
George Sullivan: Travis needs to remain on Adam and continue to wear him down.
Travis is shown pulling himself back up to his feet as Adam is also struggling to get back to a vertical base. Travis runs against the ropes and ducks under a clothesline attempt from Adam and rebounds off the other side ropes and connects with the Lou Thesz Press.
Travis with his piston like right hands ri the face of Adam has busted Adam open as he is slowly getting off of him as the referee tells him to. Adam grabs the pants of Travis in order to try and get back up in his feet but Travis pie faces Adam back down to the mat.
Adam pulls himself under the bottom rope so that it helps him get back on his feet. Adam then rolls back into the ring and hits a Spear to Travis. Travis quickly rolls onto his stomach to avoid Adam trying to pin him. Adam is begging for Travis to get back up to his feet as he is waiting to chop him down again with another Spear.
Harley Meisner: Travis with the wherewithal to know to turn on his stomach to avoid the Pinfall from Adam.
Sara Butler: How much of the blood is getting into the eyes of Adam and will it stop him from winning here tonight?
George Sullivan: Travis is maybe on the verge of getting another Spear from Adam.
Adam then runs at Travis going for another Spear only to run into the Last Call Superkick form Travis. Travis then goes for the cover as the referee counts the three counts.
The referee raises Travis' arm as the winner of the match before going over to check up on the cut on the forehead of Adam.
Medical staff and others come from the back to help Adam Gatner as Travis Deacon Hall celebrates his victory in the ring.
Winner: Travis Deacon Hall via Pinfall!!!
The show heads to a commercial break as Adam is loaded onto a stretcher meanwhile Travis has a few cold beer thrown to him as he cracks open a few and drinks in the ring.
