[The Friday Night Thunder video package plays on the screen before the cameras pan around showing off the live audience in attendance and the others via the virtual screen that is showing live video footage of people watching from their homes.]
(The show goes inside one of the arena's box suites where Aiden Zane's mother Hannah is standing with Aiden along with James Gibbs and Cassandra Caldwell.)
James Gibbs: We are so happy that you are able to be in attendance with us tonight Hannah. We had this box suite arranged for you so that you can watch the show from here and feel comfortable doing so.
Cassandra Caldwell: Aiden informed us about your issue of feeling anxious when you're around a lot of people and we understand that you can't sit out in the stands with the many, many fans. The last thing we want is for you to feel uncomfortable or unsafe.
Hannah Zane: Thank you for letting me watch from up here. I feel alright and this suite is very nice.
(Aiden talks to his mother as he looks at her.)
Aiden Zane: I really hope you are gonna love watching me wrestle. You've waited a long time for this.
Hannah Zane: Oh Aiden, I can't wait to watch you.
Aiden Zane: I'll need to get downstairs in a bit. I have to get ready for the match.
James Gibbs: Hannah, if you or your nurse need anything at all, just let the security guard who is going to be standing outside this suite in the hallway. He will know how to reach me and Cassandra. During the show we are all over the backstage area to make sure things are going smoothly.
Hannah Zane: I will have a good time here. This is exciting for me to be here and I thank you for all the special care you have taken for me.
James Gibbs: You're welcome. Now all you have to do is relax here and enjoy the show.
(Hannah smiles at James and Cassandra as she is so happy to get to be here.)
Robert Saints vs Knight Blaze
(As the bell rings Robert Saints and Knight Blaze circle each other before locking up in the middle of the ring. As they lock up in the middle of the ring, Blaze gets the early advantage of the match by overpowering Saints, but Saints doesn’t back down and he starts to fight back. Blaze has Saints in the corner, ramming his shoulder into the stomach of Saints before the ref pulls him away. Blaze pushes the ref aside to ram his shoulder again but Saints blocks it with a knee.)
Lycra is standing inside the locker room of Rom Youngblood who is also in the room. Lycra is here tonight to say what she needs to say to Rom, and she could not be any angrier than what she is right now.
(Show goes to a commercial break)
The Time is now hit's as he walks out on stage. He talks to the camera man and bounces a little. He holds up his “Never Give Up” logo flag and tosses it to the fans. He salutes and runs straight down towards the ring. He bounces off the ropes side to side and he holds up his “Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect” shirt. He takes off his hat and tosses his shirt to the fans and hands his Chain to the ref to begin to fight.
While Blade is waiting in the ring Angellus sneaks into the ring from the crowd and chop blocks Blade's left leg from underneath him and quickly transitions from that to a release German suplex into a corner as the referee calls for the match to officially begin.
As Angellus goes for a tackle into the corner Blade hits a Running leaping Shoulder Block knocking Angellus down and follows it up with the Attitude Adjustment!
He goes for the cover, but Angellus puts him into an ankle lock.
The referee checks on Blade who drags himself to the ropes as the referee counts until the count of four when Angellus releases the hold then measures Blade up for Saints Row, but Blade catches him by the leg and lifts him up and hits another Attitude Adjustment!
He covers Angellus!

George Sullivan: Some good back-to-back action here.
Harley Meisner: I can see Saints winning here, I don’t think Blaze can beat a craft veteran like Saints.
Sara Butler: I guess we’ll see about that.
(As the match moves on, Saints and Blazes are in a back-and-forth battle until the match spills to the outside of the ring. They fight around the ring, the stairs get flipped on their side after Blaze threw Saints shoulder first into the steps. While they fight outside, the ref’s count keeps climbing towards the count of 10 and neither person is aware of it!)
George Sullivan: The ref is starting to get closer to 10, and they don’t care about it….
Harley Meisner: They better care! It’ll go against their record.
(Saints tries to go back to the ring to break the count but Blaze doesn’t allow that to happen. Blaze throws Saints into the crowd and they start brawling in the crowd as the ref rings the bell)
George Sullivan: What the hell?
Harley Meisner: Blaze doesn’t like Saints and his temper showed tonight with that draw.
Sara Butler: I don’t think we’ve seen the end of these two….
George Sullivan: I don’t think we have either, I think this is just the start for them and things will get ugly from here on out.
Winner: Double-count out
Nidrah vs Nakano
The bell rings to start the match!

Harley Meisner: Nakano is going after Nidrah right off the bat to try and do damage early!
Nakano whips Nidrah into the ropes and on the rebound, Nakano hits a dropkick that forces Nidrah back against the ropes! Nakano follows that up with a spinning kick, then a few chops to the throat!!

Nidrah however starts to fight back by picking up Nakano and hitting a body slam! Nidrah follows up with a leg drop, then goes for a pin....

Nakano kicks out early!
George Sullivan: The effort to gain some momentum by Nidrah didn't do much.
They both get to their feet and Nakano once again is on the attack! She picks up Nidrah and hits an impressive suplex!
Harold Meisner: The strength of Nakano is amazing!
Sara Butler: That's why she's called the Japanese Powerhouse and rightfully so!
Nakano kicks again and again at the ribs of Nidrah, then whips Nidrah into the corner and Nakano rushes in like a thunderbolt and smashes Nidrah right in the face with a forearm smash!!
Nakano pulls Nidrah out from the corner then hits a swinging neckbreaker. Nakano then applies a seated Fujiwara armbar as she yells at Nidrah to submit!!
Nakano: YAAAA!!! YAAAAA!!! COME ON!!! SUBMIT!!! SUBMIT!!!
But Nidrah doesn't give in and she slowly is able to make it to the bottom rope, forcing Nakano to break the armbar!!
Sara Butler: Things are not going well for Nidrah at all in this match.
George Sullivan: Nakano is proving to be too much and she is not holding back in her constant quickness and attacks.
Nakano gets Nidrah up and hits the Nenbutsu Powerbomb!!!
Nakano goes for the pin!

Winner: Nakano via Pinfall
Lycra is standing inside the locker room of Rom Youngblood who is also in the room. Lycra is here tonight to say what she needs to say to Rom, and she could not be any angrier than what she is right now.
Lycra: You screwed Skillet Riley over and you know it! You and Dean had it all planned out on how to get rid of Skillet before his match even started! Turning his match into a handicap match when Mutombo couldn't continue. You went to William Gibbs because you knew he would allow it all. I can't believe you and Dean have done this to a rookie who hadn't done ANYTHING intentionally to hurt any of us!
Rom Youngblood: You know something Lycra? I'm not sorry for anything I did to that little punk. And I know for a fact that Dean isn't sorry either. In fact, we even went out and had ourselves a couple of cold beers that night after we beat Skillet Riley in that handicap match.
Rom Youngblood: The goal was to get rid of him, and so, we did just that. We got rid of him. Now I know that you're upset about this and honestly, me and Dean were never out to piss you off or to upset you. Our only target was Riley. Well, now it's safe to say we've achieved exactly what we set out to do.
Lycra shakes her head in disgust.
Lycra: The damage is done. Skillet is gone despite the many texts I've sent him to try to get him to stay in ICW. Sure he lost his match and must now not contact Maverick anymore, but that doesn't mean he has to leave ICW.
Lycra: But he has. He has left ICW and Maverick is very upset about it. You don't give a damn about what this is doing to Maverick? Not getting to talk to Skillet or to have any contact with him? Let me guess, you just don't care.
Rom Youngblood: I care very much about Maverick. He's like family to me, a nephew to me. I would do anything to protect him and now, by getting Skillet Riley out of Maverick's life, I have protected him from that punk.
Lycra: My son didn't need protecting from Skillet. But maybe now he needs protecting from you and Dean. Because I'll be damned if I'm gonna let my son be around such ruthless people, and that is what you and Dean have become. I can't stand to be around either of you right now. I am SO angry at you right now.
Rom Youngblood: Give yourself time... You'll get over it eventually.
Lycra gives Rom an angry look over what he just said.
Lycra: You're heartless. You and Dean have done some shitty things to people in the past, but this... This is so cold and so cruel.
Lycra turns and leaves the locker room. She can't stand to be around Rom any longer.

Sara Butler: Rom believes Aiden doesn't deserve to be the ICW Intercontinental Champion while Aiden doesn't agree with how Rom and the rest of Extreme Justice treated Skillet Riley.
George Sullivan: I don't think this bad blood between these two men will be solved in this one match.
The referee gets in between the two men separating them before resuming the match. Aiden and Rom lock up in a test of strength with neither side budging until the referee makes them break the hold once again. It very apparent that these two men have a huge problem with one another.

(Avenged sevenfold’s “this is war” starts to blare across the PA system as Gracie comes out first from gorilla followed by Jenn, the new champion, and then the guy who helped her win the title at Hellfire. And he’s being accompanied by a female as well. The group starts to make their way to the ring with smiles on their faces.)

And he’s being accompanied by a female as well. The group starts to make their way to the ring with smiles on their faces.)
George Sullivan: who is that guy?
Harley Meisner: I heard rumors of him being related to them but I can’t be 100 percent sure! I guess we’ll find out here.
(They enter the ring one by one with Gracie holding her world title above her head with a smile on her face. As the music dies down the crowd still cheers them.)
Gracie: Hellfire was a roaring success I’d say! I retained my title and we got some new gold as well, and we have a new member of the Regenades elite! But we’ll get back to that in a moment because I’ll let THEM explain themselves. But for now, you people thought that the Renegades elite was gone, didn’t you? Just because we had other things to do….
(Gracie shrugs her shoulders for a moment.)
Gracie: Now, we had doubts about this stable. Because it was just Jenn and I running things, and everyone else was doing their own thing but one thing led to another and here we stand today. However, just because we’re running as a group again does NOT mean we’re going for the tag titles because we are NOT! Both Jenn and I have a lot on our table and we don’t need more things piled on. Now, with that said allow us to introduce you to the newest member of this group…
(Gracie hands the mic over to the lady and steps back with Jenn. Both Gracie and Jenn are holding their respective titles proudly.)
Brooklyn Martinez: You’ve seen in the backstage area in the shadows behind Gracie and Jenn when they do their segments that’s because I wasn’t ready to introduce myself or this man and now I am. I’m Brooklyn Martinez, and this man…his name is Eddie Lopez Jr. That name sounds familiar, doesn't it? This man is the baby brother of Gracie Lopez and his father… his father is a legend in this business. You may know him as Eddie Lopez…
(The crowd cheers loudly for Eddie Lopes and starts chanting his name, to which Gracie smiles a bit as his legacy is still alive and well after his retirement earlier this year.)
Brooklyn: yes, the same Eddie Lopez that retired from this business earlier this year. His son, just like his daughter, is looking to carry on his legacy and carry respect for the name. See when Madison went down with her injury, Gracie called us. She said because of Madison’s injury there’s a void that needs to be filled and I looked up ICW on Twitter and they wanted more talent and it was a win-win.
(Gracie smiles with a nod on her head, she knew she wanted and she got her brother into a major wrestling company.)
Brooklyn: Now, we’re far from being rookies in this business and that’s why we did what we did to Floyd at Hellfire. We waited for the right time to show up and cause chaos and we did. I don’t regret anything Floyd, I’m not sorry you didn’t win the title, the better person won. If you have a problem with it, which I know you will, we’re not hard to find. But you’ll get more beatings where that came from. See, Eddie Jr is…not afraid to hurt people to protect his family or friends. I’ve witnessed what this man can do if you overstep boundaries.
(Gracie was the first to leave the ring followed by Jenn, who didn’t say anything and she didn’t want to say anything. She wanted the spotlight on her stepson because it was his “debut” for the company. They wall back up the ramp together.)
George Sullivan: Eddie’s son is part of ICW?! I know he never stepped foot here, but his son!?
Harley Meisner: I don’t like where this is going, we have Gracie and now Eddie Jr? This is gonna be very interesting moving forward.
Sara Butler: I’m…shocked by all of this!
