[The Video package for ICW Summer Heat plays throughout the arena before the cameras pan around showing off the sold out live audience and the Video Screen layout of the fans watching from home.]
The scene panes at backstage, bustling with ICW superstars preparing for the highly anticipated Elimination Chamber match for the Intercontinental Championship. Rom Youngblood, arrives in style, pulling up in his sports car. He steps out, tossing his keys to a stagehand as he makes his way towards the entrance.
George Sullivan: Ladies and gentlemen, we've got a star-studded night ahead at the Summer Heat, including that colossal Elimination Chamber match for the Intercontinental Championship!
Harley Meisner: Absolutely right, George! And let's not forget to wish a very good luck to Eddie Lopez Jr.
As Rom Youngblood walks briskly, he seems focused on the task at hand. Little does he know, the shadows in the backstage area hide a mischievous figure/
Sarah Butler: Wait, look out, Rom!
Out of nowhere, someone in a disguised, wielding a steel chair! He swings it like a weapon, crashing it against Rom's back with a thunderous impact. Rom staggers, his pain visible.
Sarah Butler: Someone's attacking Rom Youngblood before the match!
Harley Meisner: This is madness! Somebody needs to stop this! This guy has a match tonight.
The mysterious assailant doesn't stop there. He ruthlessly continues to assault Rom Youngblood, driving him into the side of a nearby equipment crate. The steel chair clangs with each strike, and Rom is left crumpled on the floor, writhing in agony.
The area is instantly swarmed by security guards and EMTs. Staff members urgently call for medical assistance for Rom, while the security personnel spring into action, racing to apprehend the assailant.
Sarah Butler: Folks, this is an absolute travesty! Rom Youngblood was blindsided by a coward!
George Sullivan: I can't believe what we just witnessed, Sarah. This has thrown a massive wrench into the plans for tonight's event.
Harley Meisner: We need to get to the bottom of this. What if Rom can't compete in tonight's Chamber match? This match may never be the same.
Women's Tag Team Championship
Tornado Tag Team Match
Storm Sisters (c) vs Freedom Fighters
The show returns ringside as it's time to call the next match.
Rick Henderson: The following contest is a tornado tag team match and it's for the ICW Women's World Tag Team Championships!
'Born in the U.S.A.' hits the speakers as Glory & Miss Liberty, flanked by Captain Freedom, step out from the back waving proudly their American Flags. The women then head down the ramp, slapping the fans hands before sliding in the ring. The women then climb each turnbuckle at the opposite side of the ring and do a heroic pose as a large flag drops down from the rafters with red, white, and blue pyros going off everywhere.
Rick Henderson: First making their way to the ring representing The Freedom Fighters, They are the challengers: Glory and Miss Liberty!!!
Harley Meisner: Glory and Miss Liberty look real out together as they make their way down to the ring.
Sara Butler: Glory and Miss Liberty have a big test in front of them here tonight if they want to dethrone the current champions here at Summer Heat.
George Sullivan: Glory and Miss Liberty have been in the gym putting in the work so they'll be more than ready for the Storm Sisters.
Rick Henderson: And their opponents, they are the reigning and defending ICW Women's World Tag Team Champions, The Storm Sisters: Elizabeth Storm and Serenity Storm!!!
“Psychosocial” by Slipknot starts blaring as Serenity Storm comes out onto the stage and then Elizabeth Storm walks out onto the entrance ramp as the smoke and pyros begin to come up and she stops. Elizabeth poses for the fans a little bit, until she steps forward through the smoke. Serenity then kneels down on the stage lowering her head as if in a prayer. After a moment she stands up accompanied by pyros going off around them. Elizabeth and Serenity begin walking down the ramp way slowly eyeing the fans as they do so. The fans look at the Storm Sisters as they pass, Elizabeth and Serenity ignores them as they finish making their way down to the ring. Serenity walks up the steps before climbing onto the turnbuckle as Elizabeth walks up the steps onto the ring apron, then climbs through the middle and top ropes into the center of the ring. Pyros shoot off once again. The music dies out with the sound of evil laughter coming from Elizabeth and Serenity. Serenity has an evil look in her eyes. She doesn’t care who she’ll hurt.
Harley Meisner: The champs look more than ready to show Glory and Miss Liberty that they're not losing the championship tonight.
Sara Butler: The Storm Sisters are going to destroy The Freedom Fighters and remain the ICW Women's World Tag Team Championships.
George Sullivan: The Storm Sisters have their work cut for them if they hope to retain the championship.
The referee raises the ICW Women's World Tag Team Championships so everyone can see that the championships are on the line as Rick Henderson exits the ring.
Glory and Elizabeth lock up in the middle of the ring on one side while Miss Liberty and Serenity lock up on the other side of the ring. The Storm Sisters overpower Glory and Miss Liberty turning the test of strengths into a double over the head Belly to Belly Suplex. Glory and Miss Liberty get back up to their feet.
Glory and Miss Liberty run at Elizabeth and Serenity knocking them down with stereo clotheslines. Serenity and Elizabeth get back up their feet and stand face to face with Glory and Miss Liberty. Serenity runs against the ropes and knocks down Glory with a Spear while Elizabeth connects with a Sling Blade onto Miss Liberty.
Glory and Miss Liberty roll out of the ring as they look to regroup on the outside for a bit but Serenity and Elizabeth dive through the ropes at the Freedom Fighters who move out of the way causing Serenity and Elizabeth to crash into the barricade.
Harley Meisner: That's not going to do any favors for the tag team champions by slamming themselves into the barricade like that.
Sara Butler: Glory and Miss Liberty need to take advantage of this minor slip up from the tag team champions.
George Sullivan: Serenity and Elizabeth need to regroup fast if they will leave tonight still as the champions.
Glory and Miss Liberty head to the outside of the ring and throw back into the ring Serenity and Elizabeth. Glory and Miss Liberty start double teaming Serenity and then throw her in one corner and then turn their attention to Elizabeth and throw her into another corner away from Serenity.
Glory runs into the corner with Serenity as Miss Liberty runs into the opposite corner with Elizabeth as both members of The Freedom Fighters run in and connect with a corner clothesline. Serenity and Elizabeth crumble down to the mat as Glory and Miss Liberty look on.
Glory and Miss Liberty then pick up Serenity and Elizabeth before connecting with their finisher onto The Storm Sisters and then Glory goes for the cover as the referee counts the three count.
The referee hands Glory and Miss Liberty the ICW Women's World Tag Team Championships as The Storm Sisters exit the ring and head back to the locker room area.
Harley Meisner: What a match by The Freedom Fighters as they leave Summer Heat as your new ICW Women's World Tag Team Champions!
Sara Butler: The Storm Sisters will get their contracted rematch soon so don't worry about it.
George Sullivan: That was a great match and I can't wait to see these two teams go at it again in the near future.
Winners: The Freedom Fighters (Glory & Miss Liberty) via pinfall!!!
The Freedom Fighters hold up their newly won ICW Women's World Tag Team Championships as the show heads backstage.
The scene opens backstage where William Gibbs is seen walking beside the stretcher that has Rom Youngblood on it as the EMT's are placing him in the ambulance. As they have him inside William taps on the now closed door. He then turns away and looks into the camera.
William Gibbs: As everyone clearly seen Rom Youngblood is injured and now unable to compete in tonight's Extreme Elimination Chamber match, so... As a punishment of sorts, the perpetrator of the attack Ghost will be taking Rom's place in the match, so Ghost get ready.
William turns away from the camera and goes back into the arena.
Tables Match
Mutombo vs Ian Johnstone
(Lights in the arena goes blackout, Teal lights comes back on to sync with the music, wearing Teal wrestling tights with black writing logo saying Doc Johnstone, white tapes on both hands, White knee pads, White wrestling boot and White doctor jacket. Walks down the ramp slowly to take his time acting cocky and arrogant, fans booing him loudly and slides in to get on the ring and takes off the jacket showing his ripped body.)
(Slow flashing lights of Yellow and green hits the arena while his music hits, wearing black long pants, black boots and black tape wrapped on his hands. walking down the ramp showing no emotion towards any fans and his opponent, focusing looking at his opponent then gets on the ring to stare down his opponent with a cold look.)
(The bell sounds for the table match to begin, Mutombo and Ian Johnstone lock up in the middle of the ring, and Mutombo gets the early advantage of the match by throwing Ian around like a drive test dummy. Mutombo thought about getting the tables but it’s still way too early for that nonsense so he keeps attacking Johnstone to weaken him. However, Johnstone doesn’t back down! He starts fighting off the big man, he throws punches that connect but have little effect, so he starts going after every big man’s weakness, the knees and the hamstring area.)
George Sullivan: Johnstone is trying to chop the big man down.
Harley Meisner: Right now that’s all he can do otherwise Mutombo is too strong.
Sara Butler: That is true, hopefully, Johnstone can keep doing this.
(Johnstone keeps the attack on the knees and hamstring area but Mutombo is still too strong and throws Johnstone to the outside of the ring. Mutombo tries to follow Johnstone to the outside but Johnstone catches him and works to work on the leg again. But Mutombo kicks him away. Johnstone backs into the barricade and hits it with a thud. Mutombo stands above Johnstone like a big nasty monster before throwing him back into the barricade. Mutombo looks towards the tables and picks one of them up before setting it too.)
George Sullivan: Oh man! The big man decided to pull out his wood!
Harley Meisner: You can’t say that on TV!
George Sullivan: We’re on pay-per-view!
(While the big man finishes setting up the table, Johnstone blindsides him with a chop block to the back of the knee with speed behind it. That knocks the big man to the ground and Johnstone finally gets the advantage on his side, he keeps Mutombo down the best he can but Mutombo slaps him across the chest with a loud thunderous soul-snatching chop that knocks Johnstone to the ground clutching his chest and gasping for air. The crowd gasps as well with the chop that echoed.)
George Sullivan: Did you hear that!?
Harley Meisner: I felt that, and Johnstone felt that too. It sounded like he got slapped with a Dutch oven.
(Mutombo remains in control after that slap, he starts to play around with the table some more until he’s satisfied with it. All that playing around with his wood gave Johnstone time to gather himself and make a charge at him. He tackles Mutombo into the steps and the big man is down again. Johnstone looks towards the tables and leans one up against the barricade for something he wants to do but as soon as he turns around Mutombo is there staring deep into Johnstone’s soul.)
George Sullivan: Johnstone has to figure out a way to keep this big man down.
Harley Meisner: You’re right, and nothing is working so far. Maybe one big move could change this match.
Sara Butler: But getting there is something else.
(This match starts go to back and forth with Johnstone keeping up with Mutombo off balance, which big men don’t like. They fight around the ringside before Johnstone knocks the big man down again by using the ring post! This time Mutombo is down for a longer period of time, and struggles to get to his feet almost like he got knocked loopy.)
George Sullivan: Mutombo is on the ground again!
(Johnstone has an idea and moves the table closer to where Mutombo is located, before spearing him through the table!)
Harley Meisner: Oh god!
(The bell rings and the ref decides to wave off the match as BOTH MEN go through the table)
George Sullivan: That answers that question.

Nakano follows her and grabs Maxine and drives her head first into the barricade, taking her down to the floor!!
Nakano is smiling at her handiwork, then keeps the pressure on Maxine by getting her up and slamming her back first into the steel steps! Nakano throws her back into the ring then follows in after her!
Maxine throws out punches to Nakano that land hard to the champ's stomach. Nakano fires back and hits a switchblade kick! She then hits an impressive powerbomb!!
George Sullivan: You could hear the impact of that powerbomb all the way to Japan!
Nakano hits a double underhook suplex! Maxine by this time looks like she has pretty much had enough of the champion. As much as she has tried to come up with a strong offense, it is just not working out for her in this match.
Nakano brutally kicks Maxine in the back as hard as she can, showing no mercy!
Harold Meisner: My god! Nakano is really attacking the back of Maxine! She is out to destroy Maxine and now she has hurt Maxine's back real bad!! First by whipping her back-first into the barricade, then by whipping her back-first into the steel steps, and now with these vicious karate kicks to the back of Maxine, showing no mercy!!
George Sullivan: I guess Nakano really wants to retain her women's title here tonight!
Sara Butler: Nakano is absolutely ruthless and never holds back. There has been no mercy from Nakano since the starting bell.
Nakano gets Maxine up and goes for a suplex, but Maxine counters and takes Nakano down with a perfect suplex of her own!!
Maxine is fighting back hard now despite her terrible back pain!!
But soon Nakano takes control again and hits a powerbomb right into the corner turnbuckles to Maxine!
Sara Butler: I think this one is gonna be over soon.
George Sullivan: I agree with you. How much can one woman take??!

Nakano is handed her women’s title belt and her arm is raised in victory.
Nakano: I AM UNDEFEATED!! NO ONE WILL STOP ME!!
Harold Meisner: The champion showed her dominance once again, this time over Maxine Rush!
Sara Butler: I’m starting to wonder if anyone can stop Nakano and end her title reign.
Nakano climbs out of the ring and heads up the ramp, walking confidently into backstage.
(The show goes to a pre-recorded message from Greta Mace to address her fans about her recent absence.)
Greta Mace: Hi everyone. I just want to let you all know the reason for my absence from this past Thunder show and my absence from the Summer Heat show.
Greta Mace: As you all know, I’ve had a stalker for quite some time now who has been harassing me with very disturbing letters, cards, and phone calls, among other things that I will not speak of. However, the police have now caught the man who has been doing this to me and he is now being held in custody. His request for bail has been denied.
Greta Mace: Needless to say, this whole ordeal has been very traumatic for me. Even though I know he is now in police custody, I’m still having trouble sleeping and I still find myself looking over my shoulder when I walk down the street. Every unfamiliar noise I hear makes me jump. I am now undergoing therapy to try and deal with the post traumatic stress that I’m now having to deal with because of this horrible man’s actions towards me these past months.
Greta Mace: I am not in the proper head space to be competing in matches right now. It just isn’t safe for me and it isn’t safe for others on the roster that I would be sharing the ring with.
Greta Mace: Therefore, I am going to be absent for awhile so that I can get myself healthy again mentally and physically. Like I said, I am hardly sleeping and it’s taken a real toll on my body. Not only this, but I will also need to be readily available for upcoming court dates so that I can be there to give my testimony as needed by the authorities.
Greta Mace: I just want all of you to know that I already miss you much. I will return as soon as I'm healthy and strong enough. Thank you so much for the outpouring of love and support that you’ve shown me during this traumatic time. I appreciate it so much and I appreciate all of you so much.
Greta Mace: I will see you all when I return.

Extreme Elimination Chamber Match
Eddie Lopez Jr. vs. TJ Alexander vs. Dean Tyler vs. Ghost vs. “White Rabbit” James Walker vs. Thanatos
*Summer Heat comes back to show that the Extreme Elimination Chamber is surrounding the ring. There are weapons in each of the pods.*
Rick Henderson: “Ladies and Gentlemen, this next match is the Extreme Elimination match and is for the ICW Intercontinental Championship! Unfortunately, Rom Youngblood has been injured, so taking his place in the match, he is Ghost!”
*Eerie music plays over the speakers as Ghost comes out from behind the curtain wearing a sheet over his head that goes down to his calves. He makes his way to the ring and gets in a pod, which has a steel chair inside. A ringside official locks the pod.*
Rick Henderson: “The next participant is from Pain & Punishment, he weighs in at 338 pounds, he is Thanatos!”
*The arena is overwhelmed by a blanket of darkness, evoked in the cold strum of Ninja Sex Party's - "Don't Fear the Reaper" respectively. A harmonic glow of devices dot the arena several at a time. Redirecting focus to the stage entrance, a pulsing light pounds in rhythm of the theme as a polar fog veils the stage ramp. A chilling silhouette is rowed on-stage by a ferryman, wielding a lantern, highlighting the features in his bearded mug we're able to make out the icy glare of Thanatos.
Thanatos would exit the watercraft and commence a slow-measured saunter down the ramp to ringside, lantern in-hand and extended to benefit his vision. His sights never abandoned the ring, approaching ringside he bows his head ever slightly, gazing into the wave of the flickering flame in the lantern, prior to inhaling deeply and blowing it out totally. Again! The arena was met with darkness, this time with no pulsing light. When the arena lights are finally restored, Thanatos is now kneeling center of the ring. He removes the hood from his cloak in full reveal, his hands extended at his sides almost in ceremonial prayer before his theme cools in the background. He gets inside the pod that has a singapore cane in it. He smiles evilly at Ghost across from him.*
Rick Henderson: “The next participant in this contest is from Las Vegas, Nevada and weighs in at 240 pounds, he is “The Dangerous One” Dean Tyler!”
*The song Pure Morning by Placebo starts to blast over the PA system. When the lead singer starts to sing, Dean Tyler is seen coming out with him carrying a switchblade in his right hand. He evily smiles and walks past the fans. He gets inside of the ring, Trash talks into the nearby camera as to what he wants to do to his opponent and waits for them to come out. He gets into a pod that has a table set up diagonally in it. He looks from Ghost to Thanatos with a look of determination and focus.*
Rick Henderson: “Next, he is the ICW Intercontinental champion, he comes from Los Angeles, California and weighs in at 225 pounds, he is Eddie Lopez Jr.!”
* “The lights dim to darkness, as “welcome to the circus” echos in the arena as pyro fires up from the stage. Eddie Jr makes his way out from the back followed by his friend, Brooklyn Martinez. Both of them start to walk down the ramp, engaging with the fans before entering the ring. He stands up on the middle rope and raises his hand, pyro sprays around the lighting rig above the ring to the crowd’s cheers. He gets into the pod that has a baseball bat covered in barbed wire.*
Rick Henderson: “The next participant is from Sydney, Australia and weighs in at 313 pounds, he is the White Rabbit Demon, James Walker!”
*”Shatter” by Code Orange hits while the arena lights go out then an open entrance through the middle on the stage with bright light shining through. James Walker shows up holding a head skull with lights on from eyes then the fans start singing along with the song. James starts walking down the ramp while holding the head skull then smoke comes out of the mouth of the skull. James walks up the steel steps then enters the ring and places the skull in the middle of the ring, James Walker raises his right arm by looking up the air while the fans are still singing then James smiles at the fans. He waits in the opposite corner of the ring as his opponent comes out.*
Rick Henderson: “Finally, from London, England, he weighs in at 188 pounds, he is the Aerial Assassin TJ Alexander!”
*The stage fills with white smoke as "Demi-Gods" By Lab-Rats and Slim J play over the PA system and as the white smoke fills the stage, TJ Alexander steps in the white smoke and kneels before leaping out of the white smoke and heads towards the ring, he climbs the turnbuckle from the apron poses for a few seconds and climbs in the ring and then back on the turnbuckle again to taunt the fans.*
*The ref signals for the bell.*
Ding! Ding! Ding!!!
Harley Meisner: TJ and James starting this match off as the first two competitors.
Sara Butler: TJ and James will have to pace themselves if they want to remain in the match until the end.
George Sullivan: I can't wait to see how much Carnage these two will get into before the others enter the match.
*TJ and James circle each other, TJ obviously not wanting to get too close because of James’ size advantage, he experimentally kicks him in the back of the leg a couple of times before putting him in a side headlock, but James immediately picks him up and throws him off, TJ is able to land on his feet. He comes back and hits James with a dropkick to the chest, which throws him off balance, TJ follows this up with a forearm to the face and a European uppercut, which knocks James into the corner. TJ mounts James in the corner, which has the pod that Ghost is in, he punches James in the corner 9 times, but James throws him off before he hits him a 10th time. James follows him out with a clothesline, then he hits him with a back body drop, then finally a power slam, he goes for the pin.*
Ref:

Sara Butler: It'll take more than that to beat TJ as James has just found out.
George Sullivan: James needs to get back into this match if he wants to win.
Harley Meisner: TJ needs to stop whatever plans James has on his mind.
*James picks TJ up but TJ rakes his eyes and does an enzuiguri to the back of the head. The countdown starts, when it reaches zero, Dean Tyler’s pod opens up and he comes into the ring, bringing the table with him, he uses it to bash TJ in the stomach, then sets it up in the corner. He then attacks James with a knee to the stomach and grabs his head, he wants to drive it into the table, but James puts his foot up and blocks him. He sends him into the table, but not hard enough to break it. He runs back and runs at the table, trying to spear Dean, but Dean moves out of the way, causing James to crash through the table. He pulls James out and goes for the pin.*
Ref:

Kickout!
George Sullivan: What will it take to put James away?
Harley Meisner: James is cut from another cloth so he's built tough unlike the others in this match.
Sara Butler: Dean needs to keep the pressure on James as the match continues.
*Dean picks him up, but TJ comes in and hits Dean with a flying forearm, then he goes over to the corner and picks up a piece of the broken table and jabs Dean in the head with it, busting him open. James then hits Dean with a kick to the stomach, picks him up on his shoulders and hits him with the Blade Cutter. He goes for the pin.*

“Dean Tyler has been eliminated!”
Sara Butler: And just like that we got our first elimination in Dean Tyler.
George Sullivan: James has momentum as one person is down and four more to go for James.
Harley Meisner: TJ and James are still in this match and soon another competitor will join the fray.
*The countdown starts again, when it reaches zero, Thanatos’ pod opens and he comes out with the Singapore cane that was in his pod. He winds up and attacks James in the stomach with it, then his back, he jams it into the stomach of TJ then hits him with an assisted Russian legsweep using the cane. He didn’t go for the cover, instead getting back and hitting James with the cane in the upper back. James went to the ropes, but sensed that Thanatos was going to hit him again, so he moved out of the way, Thanatos hit the top rope with the cane and lost his handle on it, James hit him with a big boot to the face. He then picked him up for a body slam, slamming him down on the metal grates on the outside of the ring.*
Harley Meisner: Thanatos came in like a ball of fire.
George Sullivan: TJ felt the brunt of the punishment and James did too as well.
Sara Butler: James was able to reverse Thanatos attack there and took him down.
*James picks up the cane that was left in the corner, he follows Thanatos outside and hits him in the stomach with the cane, then hits him in the back with it. He then whips Thanatos into one of the pods, which was now empty, Thanatos goes through it head and shoulder first. The countdown starts and after 10, Ghost’s pod opens. He doesn’t take the chair that was in the pod, instead, he reaches under the sheet that he was wearing to produce a rubber chicken. He hits TJ with it, and to many people’s surprise, TJ goes right down. James picks Thanatos up and rolls him in the ring, where Ghost hits him with the rubber chicken, Thanatos goes right down. He goes to hit James with the chicken, but James ducks it and throws him into the corner, where he hits him with a running clothesline. He picks up the duck and opens it up to find there was a small brick in there, he drops it, looking amused. Thanatos looks to be knocked out and bleeding, James covers him.*

“Thanatos has been eliminated!”
*The officials from ringside open the cage door and come in to help Thanatos out. While they are doing that, Ghost slips out of the cage and goes to the back, cameras are able to catch him laughing maniacally as he does.*
George Sullivan: The All-Mighty Thanatos has been eliminated.
Harley Meisner: Where the hell is Ghost going? He hasn't been eliminated.
Sara Butler: I think Ghost has been disqualified for using a rubber chicken filled with bricks instead of the weapon he was supplied.
*TJ Alexander is back on his feet, and runs at James, he hits him with several punches and kicks, driving James back to the corner. He picks up the brick that James dropped and hits James over the head with it. He doesn’t go for the cover, instead he climbs the ropes in the corner, and then to the buzzing of the crowd, he gets on top of one of the pods. James is stirring, making his way to his feet, TJ flies off the top of the pod with a flying crossbody. TJ gets back to his feet to a huge cheer and sets James up, hitting him with a running knee to the head. The countdown starts again and Eddie Lopez’ pod opens, he refuses to exit it, though. TJ looks away from James, but seeing Eddie hesitate, he goes back to James, who looks like he is going to chokeslam him, but TJ flips out of it. TJ then amazing, picks up the much bigger James on his shoulders and hits him with the Perfection 10. He goes for the cover.*

“James Walker has been eliminated!”
Sara Butler: The hardest worker in this match has been eliminated.
George Sullivan: Now it only leaves TJ and EJ left in the match.
Harley Meisner: EJ has the luck of being the last entrant in the match.
*Eddie comes out of his pod, sneaking up on TJ as he celebrates pinning James, and hits him in the lower back with the barbed wire bat, then he grabs him by the hair and drags the barbed wire across the top of his forehead. He picks TJ up and hits him in the stomach with the bat, driving it in head first, then he sets the bat down on the mat and grabs TJ by the head. He hits him with a DDT on the barbed wire bat. He goes for the cover.*

Kickout!
*Eddie can’t believe it, he sits back, putting his hands on his face in shock.*
George Sullivan: It's going to take more than that to beat TJ.
Sara Butler: EJ is going to have to throw everything including the kitchen sink at TJ if he hopes to retain his championship here tonight.
Harley Meisner: TJ is a seasoned veteran so he'll bounce back into the match.
*Eddie gets back to his feet, and waits for TJ to get back to his feet, which he does, shakily, he kicks him in stomach and hits him with a suplex, holding onto him and bringing him back up, trying to hit the 3 Amigos, but as he goes for the third suplex, TJ flips out of it and hits Eddie with the Sling Blade. He follows this up with a roundhouse kick, and then the handspring cutter. He goes for the cover.*

Kickout!
Sara Butler: How in the world did EJ kick out of that fury of offense from TJ?
Harley Meisner: Your guess is as good as mine. TJ needs to keep the punishment on EJ.
George Sullivan: EJ needs to regroup fast if he wants to leave still as the Intercontinental Champion.
*TJ takes the barbed wire bat that busted him open and hits Eddie on the back with it, then again, then one more time. He then puts him in a sort of crossface hold using the barbed wire bat as a fulcrum. Eddie is screaming in pain, but doesn’t tap out. He reaches out and is able to take a hold of the Singapore cane and hits TJ with it a couple of times with it, making him release the hold. He gets back to his feet and swings again with the cane, but TJ ducks this and hits Eddie in the stomach with the barbed wire bat, then he hits him in the head with it, busting Eddie open. Then he goes over to the corner and picks up a piece of the broken table that was laid there and puts it in the middle of the ring. Then he picks Eddie up and slaps him, then puts him in position for the Game Over, which he hits on the broken table piece to devastating effect. He goes for the cover.*

George Sullivan: If I know EJ, this is far from over.

Mayhem Championship Match
TLC Match
Lord Raab (c) Knight Blaze
The show returns ringside as it's time to call the next match.
Rick Henderson: The following contest is a Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match and it's for the ICW Mayhem Championship!!!
The light's go out totally dark, with the sudden flashes of what appears to be lighting from the sky, with-in moments the sound of an electric guitar is heard. Sounds of the high e-string 16th fret with the blend of a d-major cord in the solo, then the sounding of the base drums, and the 18 inch top hats sound off together with a single hit of the snare drum ringing out 3 times. The audience starts to go wild, screaming out their dismay of him, there's ah faint shadow of a man in the distance of the stage. Then an explosion occurs then he punches through the center stage praying to the crowd, he has his hands in the air praying to the crowd as the boos begin to get louder, there are a few cheers mixed in but mostly boos. He then comes down to the ring, while hi-fiving a few of the fans, while ignore the biggest part of them. He makes his way to ring side, gets up on the apron, and goes to one corner of the ring, and the roar of the fans get louder. He then gets into the ring, and starts to go to each corner, getting on the top rope, and each time he does, the crowd goes even more nuts. After he gets done going to the corner rope's the pyro blast sounds off to complete the entrance theme, he is blown out of the water by the fans reaction. Whether good or bad.
Rick Henderson: Making his way to the ring from Orlando, Florida by way of Virginia Beach, Virginia; he is the challenger, he is Knight Blaze!!!
Harley Meisner: Knight Blaze is looking to add another championship to his resume here in ICW.
Sara Butler: Knight Blaze is going to have to knock out Lord Raab if he hopes to be able to climb the ladder and unhook the championship.
George Sullivan: Knight Blaze has his work cut out for him tonight.
Monster by Skillet plays over the sound system as Lord Raab comes out through the curtain wearing his red and black wrestling trousers with his nickname The Masked German Monster on the front of them with Monster Energy logos on the side of his trousers with black gloves on both of his hands and wears a black and red stripy mask and ignores the fans as he goes up the stairs before going in-between the ropes and crouches down in the corner moving backwards and forwards, rubbing his hands and moving his neck around while looking at his opponent with anger in his eyes while waiting for the match to start.
Rick Henderson: And making his way down to the ring, he is the reigning and defending ICW Mayhem Champion; he is Lord Raab!!!
Harley Meisner: Lord Raab looks different without his championship around his waist.
Sara Butler: Lord Raab's championship is hanging above the ring some fifteen or twenty feet in the air.
George Sullivan: Lord Raab looks ready to kick Knight Blaze's ass and retain his championship.
Rick Henderson exits the ring as the camera zooms into the championship that's hanging up in the rafters as it is somewhat fifteen or twenty feet above the ring.
Raab and Knight adhere to the code of honor and shake each other's hand before the referee asks for the bell to ring to start the match.
Raab and Knight circle the ring a few times as they both keep looking up at the Mayhem Championship before they start a shoving match with Raab getting the upper hand and toss Knight out of the ring.
Knight springs back up to his feet and starts pulling weapons out from under the ring. The ring starts to fill up with steel chairs, stop signs, kendo sticks, tables and ladders of different sizes.
Harley Meisner: Remember this is a TLC match so there are no disqualifications for using a weapon that's not the name sake of the match.
Sara Butler: Knight takes no time to fill up the ring with weapons to use against Raab.
George Sullivan: Raab will make Knight pay for bringing all these weapons in the ring while he's still in the ring.
Raab starts setting up the table in the ring as Knight rolls back into the ring and then picks up a ladder and sets it up next to the table. Raab turns around to see Knight has begun to climb the ladder to try and retrieve the championship.
Raab quickly springs up the other side of the ladder and grabs Knight by the throat as he is slowly bringing Knight back down to the mat. Raab lifts up Knight and connects with the Chokeinator and slams Knight through the table.
Raab now begins climbing the ladder and making his ascent up to the top of the ladder but before he can reach the rung to unhook the championship, Knight jumps off the top rope and springboards onto the other side of the ladder as now the two men are slugging away at one another causing the ladder to sway back and forth.
Harley Meisner: This match is off to a crazy start as neither man is backing down from the other.
Sara Butler: I don't know how Knight is even back up after getting hit by the Chokeinator through a table.
George Sullivan: Knight knows that championship opportunities don't come along everyday so he's making the most of this chance here tonight.
The ladder keeps on swaying until it finally falls over and both men get thrown through tables at ring side. Raab is the first one to be moving as Knight is struggling to get back up to his feet.
Raab rolls back into the ring and throws the remains of the broken tables and the tangled mess that was at one time was a ladder out of the ring. Raab finds a bigger ladder and places it in the middle of the ring and another table right next to the ladder.
Raab begins his ascent up the ladder as Knight has finally got his footing and goes after Raab who is almost to get to the top of the ladder. Knight is now looking at Raab square in the eyes and they begin throwing punches once again but unlike the first time, this ladder is more sturdy and as such Raab is able to apply the Killerlock causing Knight to fall off the ladder and through the table set up by Raab. Raab is then able to unhook the ICW Mayhem Championship from the rung as the bell rings to declare the match is over.
Winner: Lord Raab by unhooking the championship from above the ring.
Lord Raab celebrates his victory in the ring as medics and other staff members run down to the ring to check on Knight Blaze.
The show heads backstage to catch up on something happening in progress.
James Gibbs sat behind his grand office desk, looking over some paperwork when the door to his office swung open with force. In strode James Flowers, the Commissioner of SFT, with an air of determination.
Commish: James, we need to talk.
James Gibbs: COMMISH! What a pleasant surprise, man?
Commish: Jack, you better know why I'm here. It's gone on long enough.
James Gibbs: Oh, come on, Commish. It's all in the spirit of competition, isn't it? The fans love a little chaos now and then.
Commish: You know, James, I was just thinking the same thing. How about we put an end to this back-and-forth nonsense?
James Gibbs: Make us an offer we can't refuse.
Commish: Bad Abundance 2. We settle this once and for all. SFT versus ICW in a series of competition-based matches. Winners take all.
James Gibbs: Good. That's what I wanted to hear.
The two men stood face to face, the tension in the room palpable. Gibbs leaned back, still smirking, while Commish turned to leave. Gibbs couldn't help but grin. This was exactly the kind of showdown he had been hoping for. Bad Abundance was about to become one of the most anticipated events in wrestling history, and it was all starting right here, in his office.

Rick Henderson: And from Tupelo, Mississippi...Floyd McCarver!
"Hard Hittin'" by Homebwoi plays and Floyd McCarver comes out from behind the curtains with a big smile on his face as he goes to the corner of the stage, looks out over the fans and points to a few of them, then makes his way down the entrance ramp, clapping hands with fans on both of the side before hopping up on the apron of the ring, quickly getting into the ring, and going to each corner of the ring, hopping up on the middle turnbuckle and soaks in the cheers as he raises his hands above his head.
Rick Henderson: And from San Diego, California....he is the United States Champion....Angellus!
Slow Catacombs by Finger Eleven & Dale Oliver as the champion Angellus makes his way down the ramp. He climbs into the ring and stares and both Travis and Floyd for a few moments, then steps away from them and goes to his corner.
The bell rings and this one is underway!
Travis and Angellus immediately go after Floyd and start to double team in with punches and kicks to the midsection to try to beat him down!! But Floyd isn’t having it! He fights back and grabs Angellus and throws him into the corner turnbuckles full power! Floyd then goes right to Travis and whips him into the ropes and on the return Floyd hits a powerful tackle just like he used to do in his football days!!
Sara Butler: Wow! Floyd made that take down look easy!
George Sullivan: He is out to win that U.S title tonight!
Harold Meisner: He has his work cut out for him though, since Angellus the champ is a big guy just like Floyd is.
Floyd goes after Angellus and hits a series of shoulder blocks. He follows up with a snap suplex and goes for a cover....

Angellus and Travis look at each other and grin as they now have Floyd down on the mat in the corner. The two men once again start up the two on one assault to try to wear Floyd down. They get Floyd up, whip him into the ropes and on the return nail him with a double team clothesline!
Harold Meisner: Man, this is good teamwork from Angellus and Travis.
Sara Butler: Yeah but they are still opponents of each other in this match, so maybe their teamwork won’t last for long.
As Travis comes towards Floyd, he is met with sudden opposition from Floyd by way of a powerslam! Floyd goes for a cover....

Angellus comes over and quickly breaks the count with a hard kick to Floyd’s head!

Angellus now takes over and gets Floyd up and hits an inverted back breaker. He follows up with a Japanese arm drag. Floyd is in pain but is by no means giving up yet. Floyd fights his way to his feet and start to nail Angellus with hard elbow shots to the ribs of Angellus!!
Travis tries to interfere but is met with a boot to the midsection by Floyd followed by a snap suplex! Floyd puts his focus back to Angellus, grabs him and lunges him into the corner where Angellus goes shoulder first right into the turnbuckles!! Angellus falls to the mat in pain as he is now holding onto his shoulder!
Floyd starts to attack that hurt shoulder with repeated stomps!
Sara Butler: This could be the game changer here. The champion is hurt now.
George Sullivan: I agree, Angellus needs to get away from Floyd to recover and give himself some space to do so.
Harold Meisner: This match has been fast paced from the moment that bell rang!
Travis is now on the attack to Floyd to try and save Angellus from any more torture. Travis nails Floyd with a dropkick and when Floyd gets back up, Travis hits a few hard throat chops forcing Floyd back into the corner! Travis hits sharp knee shots to the ribs of Floyd while keeping Floyd trapped in the corner!
George Sullivan: Floyd needs to get out of that corner!

[The show goes to a commercial break advertising ICW's next show Monday Night Carnage]
(Inside the locker room of Floyd McCarver, we see Floyd and his wife Arianna celebrating and laughing as they talk about the big win Floyd has just achieved tonight by becoming the new United States champion.)
Floyd McCarver: I finally have gold again! I am so happy right now!
Arianna McCarver: As you should be! I am happy too Floyd!
(As they keep talking and smiling at each other, we now see Darren Maddox slowly walk up to the open doorway and he stands there looking at them both. Darren does not look happy about Floyd's victory tonight and is not about to stay silent about it.)
Darren Maddox: You both are actually celebrating this? Really? You both know that Maverick screwed me over for the U.S title by going to the ring and interfering in my match which caused me to lose the title in the first place.
(The smiles fade from Floyd and Arianna. They look at each other, not sure how to respond, but then Floyd looks at Darren and responds.)
Floyd McCarver: Me and your mother are just happy that I have a title again, that's all Darren. We are by no means happy over what Maverick did to you. It was wrong of him to go to the ring like he did during your title match.
Arianna McCarver: Son....me and Floyd know you is having hard time with Maverick. He rebel against you and is wrong for him to do so. Me and Floyd feel bad what happen to you when you lose title. But we are only celebrate Floyd win title, that is all. We would never celebrate you hurt like this.
Floyd McCarver: Your mother is right. In fact, it bothers us to see you hurt Darren. We would never celebrate that. You know that I love you like a son and never want to see you hurt. I would never--
Darren Maddox (angrily): SAVE IT... I don't need to hear you trying to smooth this over by telling me how much you care, McCarver. The damage is already done. I lost the United States title....and now here you are all happy about swooping in and taking it for yourself, knowing DAMN WELL I lost it unfairly because of Maverick.
(Darren turns and promptly walks away from the doorway.)
(Floyd looks at Arianna and their celebration is now cut short because they are concerned about Darren's anger over Floyd becoming the U.S champion.)
Jennifer Makarios-Lopez & ?? Vs The Uprising
(The Russian national anthem starts to play as De Uprising comes out on stage before making their way to the ring. The crowd boos them.)
Rick Henderson: From Russia, De Uprising!
George Sullivan: These two are hoping to get rid of the Jenn and her mystery partner, but at the same time they have no idea who that partner is!
Harley Meisner: It could be anybody but I’m sure they did some history lesson, so we’ll see what these guys can do.
Sara Butler: We’ll see indeed!
("Hey you" by Disturbed starts playing on the PA systems, Jenn makes her way from the back. She stands on the stage for a few seconds with a smile on her face, looking over the crowd. She starts walking down the ramp with confidence. While doing so, she high-fives a few fans that are sitting in the front row, and people that are stretching their arms for a high five.)
George Sullivan: A woman who is desperate to win the world title, but she puts that on pause to teach these kids a lesson. She’s a legend in this business, perhaps one of the greatest talents in the modern day to never win a world title but that shouldn’t overshadow what she’s done for this business.
Harley Meisner: While all that is true, she has to focus on this match. She can’t focus on the world title that she wants. I just wanna know who her partner is, I tried to ask her earlier today and she walked past me as if i was invisible. She’s up to something.
(The lights dim as the opening chords of “MZ Hyde” by Halestorm hit. Strobe lights start to flash at the top of the ramp as Alexis Makarios comes out from behind the curtain and stops at the top of the ramp. The arena fills with a chorus of “FIRECRACKER”. She smiles big as she looks around, taking it all in as the crowd is GOING NUTS!)
George Sullivan: NO WAY! THAT’S HER PARTNER?! HER SISTER?! ALEXIS!? OH MY GOD!
Harley Meisner: Oh my god is right! We haven’t seen her in a few years and I know she hasn’t wrestled since May when she became a free agent but she’s back in ICW!
Sara Butler: Listen to this place! It’s as if the Calgary Flames won the Stanley Cup!
(Alexis meets up with her sister at ringside before they hug each other with big smiles on their faces. The smiles turn into mean looks as they stare down De uprising who are in shock of what’s going on here, they didn’t expect THIS to happen. Jenn and Alexis slowly creep their way up towards the ring.)
George Sullivan: De Uprising better watch out!
Harley Meisner: I don’t like the look of these two legendary figures.
(As the bell rings, Dmiry and Jenn start off the match and they lock up in the middle of the ring. Jenn gets the early advantage of the match when she twists his arm behind him. He tries everything to bring his arm back but Jenn has played this game for so many years now she knows how to counter out of a counter and it’s what she does. She keeps his arm behind him before first throwing him into the turnbuckles. Outside we see Jasmine, a friend and student of Jenn’s giving her applause.)
George Sullivan: How does Dmitry approach someone like Jenn? Someone who’s been in this business for years and knows everything.
Harley Meisner: Carefully. We mentioned Jenn is a legend earlier and she is! Dmitry has to tread carefully because he has no idea what she’s capable of or Lexi either.
Sara Butler: On the same aspect, Jenn shouldn’t take Dmitry lightly either.
(Jenn catches Dmitry bouncing off the turnbuckles and hits a beautiful snap suplex, she would go for the pin but it’s way too early for that to happen. Jenn stays on the offensive here by having her way with Dmitry but Dmitry starts to find a way to fight back. But Jenn got crafty and rakes his eyes to the ref’s disbelief and a warning was given as well that she brushed off like he was an annoying fly.)
Harley Meisner: SEE! That’s what Dmitry needs to stay away from, things like that.
Sara Butler: I don’t the ref will allow another one to happen.
Harley Meisner: You kidding? She’ll do it in front of the ref’s eyes again if it means keeping control of the match.
(Blinded by the fingers to the eyes, Dmitry is trying to figure out where Jenn is but she’s moving around like a boxer staying away from him til she hits a dropkick that sends him to the ground, she goes for the early cover.)
1……..
(Dmitry kicks out at the count of 1, and his partner had one foot in the ring as well. Almost like he wanted to break it up if he needed to. Jenn stays in control for a bit longer but Dmitry finds his footing in the match when he starts to fight back and has Jenn covering up in defense. As he has the advantage in the match, we can see Lexi starting to pace on the outside like a caged animal, She wants to be tagged right now to help her sister out but Dmitry doesn’t allow that to happen. Dmitry tags in Vladimir. Vladimir does the same thing Dmitry does, and he keeps Jenn away from her sister.)
George Sullivan: This is a smart choice!
Harley Meisner: Yeah it is to keep Jenn away from Lexi, Look at Lexi though, she’s like a caged animal waiting to be let go.
(Vladimir keeps control on Jenn but Jenn starts to fight back and she tries to dive for the tag but Vladimir grabs her leg to make her come up short for the tag, so Jenn starts to get angry and throws heavy shots at Vladimir, enough to drop him where he stands, Jenn starts to crawl towards her corner and reaches for a tag but Dmirty sneaks around the ring and pulls Lexi off the ropes and throws her into the steps.)
Harley Meisner: That’s smart!
Sara Butler: For now, but all he did is piss Lexi off even more.
(Meanwhile, in the ring, Vladimir has complete control over Jenn and throws her around the ring but Jenn doesn’t give up, she keeps fighting back. She kicks Vladimir in the head to create some separation and it works! She finally makes her way to Lexi and makes the tag! The crowd goes WILD for the tag! The hard cam starts shaking because of the wildness they’re showing. Lexi comes in and starts throwing around clotheslines and back body drops and dropkicks like they’re going out of style to the crowds’ delight. A HUGE Let’s go Lexi chant breaks out)
George Sullivan: Listen to this place!
Harley Meisner: Uprising is in trouble.
(Lexi is on fire here and Vladimir tries his best to create some separation but it doesn’t work, that match starts to break down here when Dmitry comes in and blindsides Lexi with a forearm to the back of the head, the crowd boos but then out of nowhere we see Jenn flying into the picture with a dropkick that knocks Dmirty to the outside of the ring, where they start fighting. The ref lost control of this match and decided to let it go with people fighting everywhere it’s hard for him to control it.)
George Sullivan: The ref lost complete control of this match.
Harley Meisner: Well, you have 2 forces on one side that has a temper, so of course he did.
(The camera zooms out to wide mode so everyone can see the action, we can see Jenn throwing Dmitry into the steps at ringside, so hard in fact the steps flip over on their side. In the ring, Lexi is taking care of business. She waits for Vladimir to stand up before hitting a running knee to the jaw of his before going for a pin.)
1………
2………..
(Vladimir kicks out at the count of 2. Vladimir creates some separation between the two of them after the pinfall attempt but it doesn’t last long at all as Lexi is like a rabid dog waiting to take down their prey. Vladimir tries all he can to get rid of her but she doesn’t back off, and she hits “Down Unda Thunda” on him, Jenn throws Dmitry into the ring post for good measure as Lexi goes for the pin.)
1…….
2……….
3!
Rick Henderson: And the winners! Alexis and Jenn Makarios!
George Sullivan: These 2 legends had their way with Uprising here, and the bond they have as sisters worked to their advantage.
Harley Meisner: It sure did! I thought the uprising knew what they were in for but I don’t think we’ve heard the end of these 2 teams.
(Jenn and Alexis celebrate with the fans as Uprising marches angrily up the ramp and back towards the locker room. However, we see a masked wrestler slither into the ring behind the two! The person seems to target Jenn as they hit a massive superkick on her when she turned around!! Lexi turns around to see this figure close up and the figure runs away, and Lexi chases them through the crowd)
George Sullivan: Who the hell?!
Harley Meisner: We have had a lot of masked wrestlers a lot lately, but who is this one now!?
Sara Butler: Noticed they only went after Jenn? It has to be someone from Jenn’s past. It has to be, or else they pissed off the wrong people at the wrong time.
(The show goes backstage where we see tons of destruction going on as Alexis is still chasing the masked person. It appears that they’ve gone all around the backstage area leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Now we’re at the parking lot where Alexis is on that person’s trail)
Alexis Makarios: Come on show your face, you coward!
(The masked person throws a shoe!)
George Sullivan: Who throws a shoe!?
Harley Meisner: This day in age? Everyone. But who is this person she’s after?!
(Alexis finally catches up to the person enough to grab their shoulder but they duck out of the way and go the opposite direction and dive into a moving car! Alexis shouts at the car)
Alexis Makarios: I BET YOU DON’T HAVE TO GUTS TO SHOW UP ON THE NEXT SHOW YOU GODDAMN COWARD! RUN! THAT’S WHAT YOU’RE GOOD AT.
(Alexis walks away from the parking lot in a different direction, and then we see a pair of legs show up on screen. This person is wearing blue jeans and black sneakers to observe the destruction going on)
Person: This is how my first day on the job goes? I suppose I should let the night guy clean this up….
(The camera pans up to reveal Eddie Lopez Sr! A legend of this business, a hall of famer as well, and the crowd goes nuts for their hero on screen! He has a piece of cake in his hand)
Eddie Lopez Sr: Good cake though.
George Sullivan: What the hell! Eddie is here too!?
Harley Meisner: Oh man! Wait! Why is he here?! How is he going to control these two? What happened to Nigel?!
World Heavyweight Championship
Monster's Ball Match
Jackson Kent (c) vs The Enforcer
Rick Henderson: The following contest is a Monsters Ball Match, and it is for the ICW World Heavyweight Championship!
Ace of Spades’ by Motorhead plays throughout the arena, as Jackson Kent comes walking out from the back. A huge round of pyros goes off, as Jackson Kent comes out looking pissed off and agitated as all hell.
He gets in the ring and acts like he's going to hit the referee as the referee dips out of the ring!
Thunder and lightning are heard and seen throughout the arena as the lights go out then flash white strobes of light on and off then The lights turn to a Blue Hue As The Enforcer appears wearing a spiked sleeveless Trench coat then "Miseria Cantare" starts to play Then He slowly walks to the ring with a more focused look and demeanor and heads towards the ring and walks up the steps then enters the ring as His Manager George Helsing leads him into the ring as he steps inside through the ropes then raises his arms as the lights return to normal as the fans continue to sing the song as Helsing helps him take off the hooded trench coat as he stares into the eyes of Jackson Kent!
Both men are standing in the middle of the ring as if time is standing still as finally The Enforcer erupts in a fury of punches and whips Kent against the ropes and hits a leaping lariat knocking Kent down on the rebound!
Kent rolls out of the ring to regain his composure, but The Enforcer slides out of the ring and continues the attack by spearing Kent into the ring steps!
The Enforcer completely loses his shit and grabs Kent by the throat and chokes him and lifts him up and slams him back first into the ring post!
The Enforcer begins to stalk Kent as Kent crawls up the entrance ramp and trips The Enforcer and knees him in the face and quickly body slams him to the steel ramp!
Kent finds a lead pipe and cracks The Enforcer over the head with it, but it doesn't do anything but bust him open and piss him off...
The Enforcer blocks a second strike of the pipe with a kick to the gut and Chokeslams Kent onto the steel ramp!
He drags Kent by one arm and lifts him up for a Tombstone, but Kent pushes himself out of the position and hits a German suplex onto the stage!
Kent then motions a cut throat taunt at The Enforcer but The Enforcer sits up and rolls his eyes as Kent stomps at his head then lifts him up and quickly hits a Tombstone of his own!
The referee comes from the ring and gets in position as Kent covers him!
1!!!
The Enforcer kicks out at one!
Kent is having a shocked look on his face saying to himself "What the F*ck."
He lifts The Enforcer up only to get hit with a St. Louis Stunner!
The Enforcer finds a steel chair and waits for Kent to get to his feet and flattens him with it busting him open!
The Enforcer puts down the straps of his tank top and wipes some of Kent's blood on his chest before headbutting Kent several times then drags him to the ring and rolls him under the bottom rope.
The Enforcer then finds the Urn!
He grabs it and rolls into the ring as Kent gets up and big boots The Enforcer catching the urn and waits for him to get up.
The Enforcer sits up again and goes to attack Kent, but Kent strikes him over the head with the urn shattering it as a flash of light emits from it!
Kent is blinded momentarily from the flash of light.
The Enforcer is laid out cold.

[The Video package for ICW Summer Heat plays throughout the arena before the cameras pan around showing off the sold out live audience and the Video Screen layout of the fans watching from home.]
The scene panes at backstage, bustling with ICW superstars preparing for the highly anticipated Elimination Chamber match for the Intercontinental Championship. Rom Youngblood, arrives in style, pulling up in his sports car. He steps out, tossing his keys to a stagehand as he makes his way towards the entrance.
George Sullivan: Ladies and gentlemen, we've got a star-studded night ahead at the Summer Heat, including that colossal Elimination Chamber match for the Intercontinental Championship!
Harley Meisner: Absolutely right, George! And let's not forget to wish a very good luck to Eddie Lopez Jr.
As Rom Youngblood walks briskly, he seems focused on the task at hand. Little does he know, the shadows in the backstage area hide a mischievous figure/
Sarah Butler: Wait, look out, Rom!
Out of nowhere, someone in a disguised, wielding a steel chair! He swings it like a weapon, crashing it against Rom's back with a thunderous impact. Rom staggers, his pain visible.
Sarah Butler: Someone's attacking Rom Youngblood before the match!
Harley Meisner: This is madness! Somebody needs to stop this! This guy has a match tonight.
The mysterious assailant doesn't stop there. He ruthlessly continues to assault Rom Youngblood, driving him into the side of a nearby equipment crate. The steel chair clangs with each strike, and Rom is left crumpled on the floor, writhing in agony.
The area is instantly swarmed by security guards and EMTs. Staff members urgently call for medical assistance for Rom, while the security personnel spring into action, racing to apprehend the assailant.
Sarah Butler: Folks, this is an absolute travesty! Rom Youngblood was blindsided by a coward!
George Sullivan: I can't believe what we just witnessed, Sarah. This has thrown a massive wrench into the plans for tonight's event.
Harley Meisner: We need to get to the bottom of this. What if Rom can't compete in tonight's Chamber match? This match may never be the same.
Women's Tag Team Championship
Tornado Tag Team Match
Storm Sisters (c) vs Freedom Fighters
The show returns ringside as it's time to call the next match.
Rick Henderson: The following contest is a tornado tag team match and it's for the ICW Women's World Tag Team Championships!
'Born in the U.S.A.' hits the speakers as Glory & Miss Liberty, flanked by Captain Freedom, step out from the back waving proudly their American Flags. The women then head down the ramp, slapping the fans hands before sliding in the ring. The women then climb each turnbuckle at the opposite side of the ring and do a heroic pose as a large flag drops down from the rafters with red, white, and blue pyros going off everywhere.
Rick Henderson: First making their way to the ring representing The Freedom Fighters, They are the challengers: Glory and Miss Liberty!!!
Harley Meisner: Glory and Miss Liberty look real out together as they make their way down to the ring.
Sara Butler: Glory and Miss Liberty have a big test in front of them here tonight if they want to dethrone the current champions here at Summer Heat.
George Sullivan: Glory and Miss Liberty have been in the gym putting in the work so they'll be more than ready for the Storm Sisters.
Rick Henderson: And their opponents, they are the reigning and defending ICW Women's World Tag Team Champions, The Storm Sisters: Elizabeth Storm and Serenity Storm!!!
“Psychosocial” by Slipknot starts blaring as Serenity Storm comes out onto the stage and then Elizabeth Storm walks out onto the entrance ramp as the smoke and pyros begin to come up and she stops. Elizabeth poses for the fans a little bit, until she steps forward through the smoke. Serenity then kneels down on the stage lowering her head as if in a prayer. After a moment she stands up accompanied by pyros going off around them. Elizabeth and Serenity begin walking down the ramp way slowly eyeing the fans as they do so. The fans look at the Storm Sisters as they pass, Elizabeth and Serenity ignores them as they finish making their way down to the ring. Serenity walks up the steps before climbing onto the turnbuckle as Elizabeth walks up the steps onto the ring apron, then climbs through the middle and top ropes into the center of the ring. Pyros shoot off once again. The music dies out with the sound of evil laughter coming from Elizabeth and Serenity. Serenity has an evil look in her eyes. She doesn’t care who she’ll hurt.
Harley Meisner: The champs look more than ready to show Glory and Miss Liberty that they're not losing the championship tonight.
Sara Butler: The Storm Sisters are going to destroy The Freedom Fighters and remain the ICW Women's World Tag Team Championships.
George Sullivan: The Storm Sisters have their work cut for them if they hope to retain the championship.
The referee raises the ICW Women's World Tag Team Championships so everyone can see that the championships are on the line as Rick Henderson exits the ring.
Glory and Elizabeth lock up in the middle of the ring on one side while Miss Liberty and Serenity lock up on the other side of the ring. The Storm Sisters overpower Glory and Miss Liberty turning the test of strengths into a double over the head Belly to Belly Suplex. Glory and Miss Liberty get back up to their feet.
Glory and Miss Liberty run at Elizabeth and Serenity knocking them down with stereo clotheslines. Serenity and Elizabeth get back up their feet and stand face to face with Glory and Miss Liberty. Serenity runs against the ropes and knocks down Glory with a Spear while Elizabeth connects with a Sling Blade onto Miss Liberty.
Glory and Miss Liberty roll out of the ring as they look to regroup on the outside for a bit but Serenity and Elizabeth dive through the ropes at the Freedom Fighters who move out of the way causing Serenity and Elizabeth to crash into the barricade.
Harley Meisner: That's not going to do any favors for the tag team champions by slamming themselves into the barricade like that.
Sara Butler: Glory and Miss Liberty need to take advantage of this minor slip up from the tag team champions.
George Sullivan: Serenity and Elizabeth need to regroup fast if they will leave tonight still as the champions.
Glory and Miss Liberty head to the outside of the ring and throw back into the ring Serenity and Elizabeth. Glory and Miss Liberty start double teaming Serenity and then throw her in one corner and then turn their attention to Elizabeth and throw her into another corner away from Serenity.
Glory runs into the corner with Serenity as Miss Liberty runs into the opposite corner with Elizabeth as both members of The Freedom Fighters run in and connect with a corner clothesline. Serenity and Elizabeth crumble down to the mat as Glory and Miss Liberty look on.
Glory and Miss Liberty then pick up Serenity and Elizabeth before connecting with their finisher onto The Storm Sisters and then Glory goes for the cover as the referee counts the three count.
The referee hands Glory and Miss Liberty the ICW Women's World Tag Team Championships as The Storm Sisters exit the ring and head back to the locker room area.
Harley Meisner: What a match by The Freedom Fighters as they leave Summer Heat as your new ICW Women's World Tag Team Champions!
Sara Butler: The Storm Sisters will get their contracted rematch soon so don't worry about it.
George Sullivan: That was a great match and I can't wait to see these two teams go at it again in the near future.
Winners: The Freedom Fighters (Glory & Miss Liberty) via pinfall!!!
The Freedom Fighters hold up their newly won ICW Women's World Tag Team Championships as the show heads backstage.
The scene opens backstage where William Gibbs is seen walking beside the stretcher that has Rom Youngblood on it as the EMT's are placing him in the ambulance. As they have him inside William taps on the now closed door. He then turns away and looks into the camera.
William Gibbs: As everyone clearly seen Rom Youngblood is injured and now unable to compete in tonight's Extreme Elimination Chamber match, so... As a punishment of sorts, the perpetrator of the attack Ghost will be taking Rom's place in the match, so Ghost get ready.
William turns away from the camera and goes back into the arena.
Tables Match
Mutombo vs Ian Johnstone
(Lights in the arena goes blackout, Teal lights comes back on to sync with the music, wearing Teal wrestling tights with black writing logo saying Doc Johnstone, white tapes on both hands, White knee pads, White wrestling boot and White doctor jacket. Walks down the ramp slowly to take his time acting cocky and arrogant, fans booing him loudly and slides in to get on the ring and takes off the jacket showing his ripped body.)
(Slow flashing lights of Yellow and green hits the arena while his music hits, wearing black long pants, black boots and black tape wrapped on his hands. walking down the ramp showing no emotion towards any fans and his opponent, focusing looking at his opponent then gets on the ring to stare down his opponent with a cold look.)
(The bell sounds for the table match to begin, Mutombo and Ian Johnstone lock up in the middle of the ring, and Mutombo gets the early advantage of the match by throwing Ian around like a drive test dummy. Mutombo thought about getting the tables but it’s still way too early for that nonsense so he keeps attacking Johnstone to weaken him. However, Johnstone doesn’t back down! He starts fighting off the big man, he throws punches that connect but have little effect, so he starts going after every big man’s weakness, the knees and the hamstring area.)
George Sullivan: Johnstone is trying to chop the big man down.
Harley Meisner: Right now that’s all he can do otherwise Mutombo is too strong.
Sara Butler: That is true, hopefully, Johnstone can keep doing this.
(Johnstone keeps the attack on the knees and hamstring area but Mutombo is still too strong and throws Johnstone to the outside of the ring. Mutombo tries to follow Johnstone to the outside but Johnstone catches him and works to work on the leg again. But Mutombo kicks him away. Johnstone backs into the barricade and hits it with a thud. Mutombo stands above Johnstone like a big nasty monster before throwing him back into the barricade. Mutombo looks towards the tables and picks one of them up before setting it too.)
George Sullivan: Oh man! The big man decided to pull out his wood!
Harley Meisner: You can’t say that on TV!
George Sullivan: We’re on pay-per-view!
(While the big man finishes setting up the table, Johnstone blindsides him with a chop block to the back of the knee with speed behind it. That knocks the big man to the ground and Johnstone finally gets the advantage on his side, he keeps Mutombo down the best he can but Mutombo slaps him across the chest with a loud thunderous soul-snatching chop that knocks Johnstone to the ground clutching his chest and gasping for air. The crowd gasps as well with the chop that echoed.)
George Sullivan: Did you hear that!?
Harley Meisner: I felt that, and Johnstone felt that too. It sounded like he got slapped with a Dutch oven.
(Mutombo remains in control after that slap, he starts to play around with the table some more until he’s satisfied with it. All that playing around with his wood gave Johnstone time to gather himself and make a charge at him. He tackles Mutombo into the steps and the big man is down again. Johnstone looks towards the tables and leans one up against the barricade for something he wants to do but as soon as he turns around Mutombo is there staring deep into Johnstone’s soul.)
George Sullivan: Johnstone has to figure out a way to keep this big man down.
Harley Meisner: You’re right, and nothing is working so far. Maybe one big move could change this match.
Sara Butler: But getting there is something else.
(This match starts go to back and forth with Johnstone keeping up with Mutombo off balance, which big men don’t like. They fight around the ringside before Johnstone knocks the big man down again by using the ring post! This time Mutombo is down for a longer period of time, and struggles to get to his feet almost like he got knocked loopy.)
George Sullivan: Mutombo is on the ground again!
(Johnstone has an idea and moves the table closer to where Mutombo is located, before spearing him through the table!)
Harley Meisner: Oh god!
(The bell rings and the ref decides to wave off the match as BOTH MEN go through the table)
George Sullivan: That answers that question.

Nakano gets Maxine up and lunges her out of the ring!!
Nakano follows her and grabs Maxine and drives her head first into the barricade, taking her down to the floor!!
Nakano is smiling at her handiwork, then keeps the pressure on Maxine by getting her up and slamming her back first into the steel steps! Nakano throws her back into the ring then follows in after her!
Maxine throws out punches to Nakano that land hard to the champ's stomach. Nakano fires back and hits a switchblade kick! She then hits an impressive powerbomb!!
George Sullivan: You could hear the impact of that powerbomb all the way to Japan!
Nakano hits a double underhook suplex! Maxine by this time looks like she has pretty much had enough of the champion. As much as she has tried to come up with a strong offense, it is just not working out for her in this match.
Nakano brutally kicks Maxine in the back as hard as she can, showing no mercy!
Harold Meisner: My god! Nakano is really attacking the back of Maxine! She is out to destroy Maxine and now she has hurt Maxine's back real bad!! First by whipping her back-first into the barricade, then by whipping her back-first into the steel steps, and now with these vicious karate kicks to the back of Maxine, showing no mercy!!
George Sullivan: I guess Nakano really wants to retain her women's title here tonight!
Sara Butler: Nakano is absolutely ruthless and never holds back. There has been no mercy from Nakano since the starting bell.
Nakano gets Maxine up and goes for a suplex, but Maxine counters and takes Nakano down with a perfect suplex of her own!!
Maxine is fighting back hard now despite her terrible back pain!!
But soon Nakano takes control again and hits a powerbomb right into the corner turnbuckles to Maxine!
Sara Butler: I think this one is gonna be over soon.
George Sullivan: I agree with you. How much can one woman take??!
Nakano gets Maxine into the middle of the ring and Nakano applies the Seated Fujiwara Armbar!! Maxine is fighting to stay in this match!!

The referee signals for the bell!!
Rick Henderson: Here is your winner....NAKANO!!
Nakano is handed her women’s title belt and her arm is raised in victory.
Nakano: I AM UNDEFEATED!! NO ONE WILL STOP ME!!
Harold Meisner: The champion showed her dominance once again, this time over Maxine Rush!
Sara Butler: I’m starting to wonder if anyone can stop Nakano and end her title reign.
Nakano climbs out of the ring and heads up the ramp, walking confidently into backstage.
(The show goes to a pre-recorded message from Greta Mace to address her fans about her recent absence.)
Greta Mace: Hi everyone. I just want to let you all know the reason for my absence from this past Thunder show and my absence from the Summer Heat show.
Greta Mace: As you all know, I’ve had a stalker for quite some time now who has been harassing me with very disturbing letters, cards, and phone calls, among other things that I will not speak of. However, the police have now caught the man who has been doing this to me and he is now being held in custody. His request for bail has been denied.
Greta Mace: Needless to say, this whole ordeal has been very traumatic for me. Even though I know he is now in police custody, I’m still having trouble sleeping and I still find myself looking over my shoulder when I walk down the street. Every unfamiliar noise I hear makes me jump. I am now undergoing therapy to try and deal with the post traumatic stress that I’m now having to deal with because of this horrible man’s actions towards me these past months.
Greta Mace: I am not in the proper head space to be competing in matches right now. It just isn’t safe for me and it isn’t safe for others on the roster that I would be sharing the ring with.
Greta Mace: Therefore, I am going to be absent for awhile so that I can get myself healthy again mentally and physically. Like I said, I am hardly sleeping and it’s taken a real toll on my body. Not only this, but I will also need to be readily available for upcoming court dates so that I can be there to give my testimony as needed by the authorities.
Greta Mace: I just want all of you to know that I already miss you much. I will return as soon as I'm healthy and strong enough. Thank you so much for the outpouring of love and support that you’ve shown me during this traumatic time. I appreciate it so much and I appreciate all of you so much.
Greta Mace: I will see you all when I return.

Extreme Elimination Chamber Match
Eddie Lopez Jr. vs. TJ Alexander vs. Dean Tyler vs. Ghost vs. “White Rabbit” James Walker vs. Thanatos
*Summer Heat comes back to show that the Extreme Elimination Chamber is surrounding the ring. There are weapons in each of the pods.*
Rick Henderson: “Ladies and Gentlemen, this next match is the Extreme Elimination match and is for the ICW Intercontinental Championship! Unfortunately, Rom Youngblood has been injured, so taking his place in the match, he is Ghost!”
*Eerie music plays over the speakers as Ghost comes out from behind the curtain wearing a sheet over his head that goes down to his calves. He makes his way to the ring and gets in a pod, which has a steel chair inside. A ringside official locks the pod.*
Rick Henderson: “The next participant is from Pain & Punishment, he weighs in at 338 pounds, he is Thanatos!”
*The arena is overwhelmed by a blanket of darkness, evoked in the cold strum of Ninja Sex Party's - "Don't Fear the Reaper" respectively. A harmonic glow of devices dot the arena several at a time. Redirecting focus to the stage entrance, a pulsing light pounds in rhythm of the theme as a polar fog veils the stage ramp. A chilling silhouette is rowed on-stage by a ferryman, wielding a lantern, highlighting the features in his bearded mug we're able to make out the icy glare of Thanatos.
Thanatos would exit the watercraft and commence a slow-measured saunter down the ramp to ringside, lantern in-hand and extended to benefit his vision. His sights never abandoned the ring, approaching ringside he bows his head ever slightly, gazing into the wave of the flickering flame in the lantern, prior to inhaling deeply and blowing it out totally. Again! The arena was met with darkness, this time with no pulsing light. When the arena lights are finally restored, Thanatos is now kneeling center of the ring. He removes the hood from his cloak in full reveal, his hands extended at his sides almost in ceremonial prayer before his theme cools in the background. He gets inside the pod that has a singapore cane in it. He smiles evilly at Ghost across from him.*
Rick Henderson: “The next participant in this contest is from Las Vegas, Nevada and weighs in at 240 pounds, he is “The Dangerous One” Dean Tyler!”
*The song Pure Morning by Placebo starts to blast over the PA system. When the lead singer starts to sing, Dean Tyler is seen coming out with him carrying a switchblade in his right hand. He evily smiles and walks past the fans. He gets inside of the ring, Trash talks into the nearby camera as to what he wants to do to his opponent and waits for them to come out. He gets into a pod that has a table set up diagonally in it. He looks from Ghost to Thanatos with a look of determination and focus.*
Rick Henderson: “Next, he is the ICW Intercontinental champion, he comes from Los Angeles, California and weighs in at 225 pounds, he is Eddie Lopez Jr.!”
* “The lights dim to darkness, as “welcome to the circus” echos in the arena as pyro fires up from the stage. Eddie Jr makes his way out from the back followed by his friend, Brooklyn Martinez. Both of them start to walk down the ramp, engaging with the fans before entering the ring. He stands up on the middle rope and raises his hand, pyro sprays around the lighting rig above the ring to the crowd’s cheers. He gets into the pod that has a baseball bat covered in barbed wire.*
Rick Henderson: “The next participant is from Sydney, Australia and weighs in at 313 pounds, he is the White Rabbit Demon, James Walker!”
*”Shatter” by Code Orange hits while the arena lights go out then an open entrance through the middle on the stage with bright light shining through. James Walker shows up holding a head skull with lights on from eyes then the fans start singing along with the song. James starts walking down the ramp while holding the head skull then smoke comes out of the mouth of the skull. James walks up the steel steps then enters the ring and places the skull in the middle of the ring, James Walker raises his right arm by looking up the air while the fans are still singing then James smiles at the fans. He waits in the opposite corner of the ring as his opponent comes out.*
Rick Henderson: “Finally, from London, England, he weighs in at 188 pounds, he is the Aerial Assassin TJ Alexander!”
*The stage fills with white smoke as "Demi-Gods" By Lab-Rats and Slim J play over the PA system and as the white smoke fills the stage, TJ Alexander steps in the white smoke and kneels before leaping out of the white smoke and heads towards the ring, he climbs the turnbuckle from the apron poses for a few seconds and climbs in the ring and then back on the turnbuckle again to taunt the fans.*
*The ref signals for the bell.*
Ding! Ding! Ding!!!
Harley Meisner: TJ and James starting this match off as the first two competitors.
Sara Butler: TJ and James will have to pace themselves if they want to remain in the match until the end.
George Sullivan: I can't wait to see how much Carnage these two will get into before the others enter the match.
*TJ and James circle each other, TJ obviously not wanting to get too close because of James’ size advantage, he experimentally kicks him in the back of the leg a couple of times before putting him in a side headlock, but James immediately picks him up and throws him off, TJ is able to land on his feet. He comes back and hits James with a dropkick to the chest, which throws him off balance, TJ follows this up with a forearm to the face and a European uppercut, which knocks James into the corner. TJ mounts James in the corner, which has the pod that Ghost is in, he punches James in the corner 9 times, but James throws him off before he hits him a 10th time. James follows him out with a clothesline, then he hits him with a back body drop, then finally a power slam, he goes for the pin.*
Ref:
1…
Kickout!
Sara Butler: It'll take more than that to beat TJ as James has just found out.
George Sullivan: James needs to get back into this match if he wants to win.
Harley Meisner: TJ needs to stop whatever plans James has on his mind.
*James picks TJ up but TJ rakes his eyes and does an enzuiguri to the back of the head. The countdown starts, when it reaches zero, Dean Tyler’s pod opens up and he comes into the ring, bringing the table with him, he uses it to bash TJ in the stomach, then sets it up in the corner. He then attacks James with a knee to the stomach and grabs his head, he wants to drive it into the table, but James puts his foot up and blocks him. He sends him into the table, but not hard enough to break it. He runs back and runs at the table, trying to spear Dean, but Dean moves out of the way, causing James to crash through the table. He pulls James out and goes for the pin.*
Ref:
1…
2….
Kickout!
George Sullivan: What will it take to put James away?
Harley Meisner: James is cut from another cloth so he's built tough unlike the others in this match.
Sara Butler: Dean needs to keep the pressure on James as the match continues.
*Dean picks him up, but TJ comes in and hits Dean with a flying forearm, then he goes over to the corner and picks up a piece of the broken table and jabs Dean in the head with it, busting him open. James then hits Dean with a kick to the stomach, picks him up on his shoulders and hits him with the Blade Cutter. He goes for the pin.*
Ref:
1…

3!!!
“Dean Tyler has been eliminated!”
Sara Butler: And just like that we got our first elimination in Dean Tyler.
George Sullivan: James has momentum as one person is down and four more to go for James.
Harley Meisner: TJ and James are still in this match and soon another competitor will join the fray.
*The countdown starts again, when it reaches zero, Thanatos’ pod opens and he comes out with the Singapore cane that was in his pod. He winds up and attacks James in the stomach with it, then his back, he jams it into the stomach of TJ then hits him with an assisted Russian legsweep using the cane. He didn’t go for the cover, instead getting back and hitting James with the cane in the upper back. James went to the ropes, but sensed that Thanatos was going to hit him again, so he moved out of the way, Thanatos hit the top rope with the cane and lost his handle on it, James hit him with a big boot to the face. He then picked him up for a body slam, slamming him down on the metal grates on the outside of the ring.*
Harley Meisner: Thanatos came in like a ball of fire.
George Sullivan: TJ felt the brunt of the punishment and James did too as well.
Sara Butler: James was able to reverse Thanatos attack there and took him down.
*James picks up the cane that was left in the corner, he follows Thanatos outside and hits him in the stomach with the cane, then hits him in the back with it. He then whips Thanatos into one of the pods, which was now empty, Thanatos goes through it head and shoulder first. The countdown starts and after 10, Ghost’s pod opens. He doesn’t take the chair that was in the pod, instead, he reaches under the sheet that he was wearing to produce a rubber chicken. He hits TJ with it, and to many people’s surprise, TJ goes right down. James picks Thanatos up and rolls him in the ring, where Ghost hits him with the rubber chicken, Thanatos goes right down. He goes to hit James with the chicken, but James ducks it and throws him into the corner, where he hits him with a running clothesline. He picks up the duck and opens it up to find there was a small brick in there, he drops it, looking amused. Thanatos looks to be knocked out and bleeding, James covers him.*

“Thanatos has been eliminated!”
*The officials from ringside open the cage door and come in to help Thanatos out. While they are doing that, Ghost slips out of the cage and goes to the back, cameras are able to catch him laughing maniacally as he does.*
George Sullivan: The All-Mighty Thanatos has been eliminated.
Harley Meisner: Where the hell is Ghost going? He hasn't been eliminated.
Sara Butler: I think Ghost has been disqualified for using a rubber chicken filled with bricks instead of the weapon he was supplied.
*TJ Alexander is back on his feet, and runs at James, he hits him with several punches and kicks, driving James back to the corner. He picks up the brick that James dropped and hits James over the head with it. He doesn’t go for the cover, instead he climbs the ropes in the corner, and then to the buzzing of the crowd, he gets on top of one of the pods. James is stirring, making his way to his feet, TJ flies off the top of the pod with a flying crossbody. TJ gets back to his feet to a huge cheer and sets James up, hitting him with a running knee to the head. The countdown starts again and Eddie Lopez’ pod opens, he refuses to exit it, though. TJ looks away from James, but seeing Eddie hesitate, he goes back to James, who looks like he is going to chokeslam him, but TJ flips out of it. TJ then amazing, picks up the much bigger James on his shoulders and hits him with the Perfection 10. He goes for the cover.*

“James Walker has been eliminated!”
Sara Butler: The hardest worker in this match has been eliminated.
George Sullivan: Now it only leaves TJ and EJ left in the match.
Harley Meisner: EJ has the luck of being the last entrant in the match.
*Eddie comes out of his pod, sneaking up on TJ as he celebrates pinning James, and hits him in the lower back with the barbed wire bat, then he grabs him by the hair and drags the barbed wire across the top of his forehead. He picks TJ up and hits him in the stomach with the bat, driving it in head first, then he sets the bat down on the mat and grabs TJ by the head. He hits him with a DDT on the barbed wire bat. He goes for the cover.*

Kickout!
*Eddie can’t believe it, he sits back, putting his hands on his face in shock.*
George Sullivan: It's going to take more than that to beat TJ.
Sara Butler: EJ is going to have to throw everything including the kitchen sink at TJ if he hopes to retain his championship here tonight.
Harley Meisner: TJ is a seasoned veteran so he'll bounce back into the match.
*Eddie gets back to his feet, and waits for TJ to get back to his feet, which he does, shakily, he kicks him in stomach and hits him with a suplex, holding onto him and bringing him back up, trying to hit the 3 Amigos, but as he goes for the third suplex, TJ flips out of it and hits Eddie with the Sling Blade. He follows this up with a roundhouse kick, and then the handspring cutter. He goes for the cover.*

Kickout!
Sara Butler: How in the world did EJ kick out of that fury of offense from TJ?
Harley Meisner: Your guess is as good as mine. TJ needs to keep the punishment on EJ.
George Sullivan: EJ needs to regroup fast if he wants to leave still as the Intercontinental Champion.
*TJ takes the barbed wire bat that busted him open and hits Eddie on the back with it, then again, then one more time. He then puts him in a sort of crossface hold using the barbed wire bat as a fulcrum. Eddie is screaming in pain, but doesn’t tap out. He reaches out and is able to take a hold of the Singapore cane and hits TJ with it a couple of times with it, making him release the hold. He gets back to his feet and swings again with the cane, but TJ ducks this and hits Eddie in the stomach with the barbed wire bat, then he hits him in the head with it, busting Eddie open. Then he goes over to the corner and picks up a piece of the broken table that was laid there and puts it in the middle of the ring. Then he picks Eddie up and slaps him, then puts him in position for the Game Over, which he hits on the broken table piece to devastating effect. He goes for the cover.*

George Sullivan: If I know EJ, this is far from over.

Mayhem Championship Match
TLC Match
Lord Raab (c) Knight Blaze
The show returns ringside as it's time to call the next match.
Rick Henderson: The following contest is a Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match and it's for the ICW Mayhem Championship!!!
The light's go out totally dark, with the sudden flashes of what appears to be lighting from the sky, with-in moments the sound of an electric guitar is heard. Sounds of the high e-string 16th fret with the blend of a d-major cord in the solo, then the sounding of the base drums, and the 18 inch top hats sound off together with a single hit of the snare drum ringing out 3 times. The audience starts to go wild, screaming out their dismay of him, there's ah faint shadow of a man in the distance of the stage. Then an explosion occurs then he punches through the center stage praying to the crowd, he has his hands in the air praying to the crowd as the boos begin to get louder, there are a few cheers mixed in but mostly boos. He then comes down to the ring, while hi-fiving a few of the fans, while ignore the biggest part of them. He makes his way to ring side, gets up on the apron, and goes to one corner of the ring, and the roar of the fans get louder. He then gets into the ring, and starts to go to each corner, getting on the top rope, and each time he does, the crowd goes even more nuts. After he gets done going to the corner rope's the pyro blast sounds off to complete the entrance theme, he is blown out of the water by the fans reaction. Whether good or bad.
Rick Henderson: Making his way to the ring from Orlando, Florida by way of Virginia Beach, Virginia; he is the challenger, he is Knight Blaze!!!
Harley Meisner: Knight Blaze is looking to add another championship to his resume here in ICW.
Sara Butler: Knight Blaze is going to have to knock out Lord Raab if he hopes to be able to climb the ladder and unhook the championship.
George Sullivan: Knight Blaze has his work cut out for him tonight.
Monster by Skillet plays over the sound system as Lord Raab comes out through the curtain wearing his red and black wrestling trousers with his nickname The Masked German Monster on the front of them with Monster Energy logos on the side of his trousers with black gloves on both of his hands and wears a black and red stripy mask and ignores the fans as he goes up the stairs before going in-between the ropes and crouches down in the corner moving backwards and forwards, rubbing his hands and moving his neck around while looking at his opponent with anger in his eyes while waiting for the match to start.
Rick Henderson: And making his way down to the ring, he is the reigning and defending ICW Mayhem Champion; he is Lord Raab!!!
Harley Meisner: Lord Raab looks different without his championship around his waist.
Sara Butler: Lord Raab's championship is hanging above the ring some fifteen or twenty feet in the air.
George Sullivan: Lord Raab looks ready to kick Knight Blaze's ass and retain his championship.
Rick Henderson exits the ring as the camera zooms into the championship that's hanging up in the rafters as it is somewhat fifteen or twenty feet above the ring.
Raab and Knight adhere to the code of honor and shake each other's hand before the referee asks for the bell to ring to start the match.
Raab and Knight circle the ring a few times as they both keep looking up at the Mayhem Championship before they start a shoving match with Raab getting the upper hand and toss Knight out of the ring.
Knight springs back up to his feet and starts pulling weapons out from under the ring. The ring starts to fill up with steel chairs, stop signs, kendo sticks, tables and ladders of different sizes.
Harley Meisner: Remember this is a TLC match so there are no disqualifications for using a weapon that's not the name sake of the match.
Sara Butler: Knight takes no time to fill up the ring with weapons to use against Raab.
George Sullivan: Raab will make Knight pay for bringing all these weapons in the ring while he's still in the ring.
Raab starts setting up the table in the ring as Knight rolls back into the ring and then picks up a ladder and sets it up next to the table. Raab turns around to see Knight has begun to climb the ladder to try and retrieve the championship.
Raab quickly springs up the other side of the ladder and grabs Knight by the throat as he is slowly bringing Knight back down to the mat. Raab lifts up Knight and connects with the Chokeinator and slams Knight through the table.
Raab now begins climbing the ladder and making his ascent up to the top of the ladder but before he can reach the rung to unhook the championship, Knight jumps off the top rope and springboards onto the other side of the ladder as now the two men are slugging away at one another causing the ladder to sway back and forth.
Harley Meisner: This match is off to a crazy start as neither man is backing down from the other.
Sara Butler: I don't know how Knight is even back up after getting hit by the Chokeinator through a table.
George Sullivan: Knight knows that championship opportunities don't come along everyday so he's making the most of this chance here tonight.
The ladder keeps on swaying until it finally falls over and both men get thrown through tables at ring side. Raab is the first one to be moving as Knight is struggling to get back up to his feet.
Raab rolls back into the ring and throws the remains of the broken tables and the tangled mess that was at one time was a ladder out of the ring. Raab finds a bigger ladder and places it in the middle of the ring and another table right next to the ladder.
Raab begins his ascent up the ladder as Knight has finally got his footing and goes after Raab who is almost to get to the top of the ladder. Knight is now looking at Raab square in the eyes and they begin throwing punches once again but unlike the first time, this ladder is more sturdy and as such Raab is able to apply the Killerlock causing Knight to fall off the ladder and through the table set up by Raab. Raab is then able to unhook the ICW Mayhem Championship from the rung as the bell rings to declare the match is over.
Winner: Lord Raab by unhooking the championship from above the ring.
Lord Raab celebrates his victory in the ring as medics and other staff members run down to the ring to check on Knight Blaze.
The show heads backstage to catch up on something happening in progress.
James Gibbs sat behind his grand office desk, looking over some paperwork when the door to his office swung open with force. In strode James Flowers, the Commissioner of SFT, with an air of determination.
Commish: James, we need to talk.
James Gibbs: COMMISH! What a pleasant surprise, man?
Commish: Jack, you better know why I'm here. It's gone on long enough.
James Gibbs: Oh, come on, Commish. It's all in the spirit of competition, isn't it? The fans love a little chaos now and then.
Commish: You know, James, I was just thinking the same thing. How about we put an end to this back-and-forth nonsense?
James Gibbs: Make us an offer we can't refuse.
Commish: Bad Abundance 2. We settle this once and for all. SFT versus ICW in a series of competition-based matches. Winners take all.
James Gibbs: Good. That's what I wanted to hear.
The two men stood face to face, the tension in the room palpable. Gibbs leaned back, still smirking, while Commish turned to leave. Gibbs couldn't help but grin. This was exactly the kind of showdown he had been hoping for. Bad Abundance was about to become one of the most anticipated events in wrestling history, and it was all starting right here, in his office.

Rockhouse by Frank Shelley plays over the arena as Travis Deacon Hall makes his way out to the ring followed by his wife Melissa Hall.
Rick Henderson: And from Tupelo, Mississippi...Floyd McCarver!
"Hard Hittin'" by Homebwoi plays and Floyd McCarver comes out from behind the curtains with a big smile on his face as he goes to the corner of the stage, looks out over the fans and points to a few of them, then makes his way down the entrance ramp, clapping hands with fans on both of the side before hopping up on the apron of the ring, quickly getting into the ring, and going to each corner of the ring, hopping up on the middle turnbuckle and soaks in the cheers as he raises his hands above his head.
Rick Henderson: And from San Diego, California....he is the United States Champion....Angellus!
Slow Catacombs by Finger Eleven & Dale Oliver as the champion Angellus makes his way down the ramp. He climbs into the ring and stares and both Travis and Floyd for a few moments, then steps away from them and goes to his corner.
The bell rings and this one is underway!
Travis and Angellus immediately go after Floyd and start to double team in with punches and kicks to the midsection to try to beat him down!! But Floyd isn’t having it! He fights back and grabs Angellus and throws him into the corner turnbuckles full power! Floyd then goes right to Travis and whips him into the ropes and on the return Floyd hits a powerful tackle just like he used to do in his football days!!
Sara Butler: Wow! Floyd made that take down look easy!
George Sullivan: He is out to win that U.S title tonight!
Harold Meisner: He has his work cut out for him though, since Angellus the champ is a big guy just like Floyd is.
Floyd goes after Angellus and hits a series of shoulder blocks. He follows up with a snap suplex and goes for a cover....

Angellus and Travis look at each other and grin as they now have Floyd down on the mat in the corner. The two men once again start up the two on one assault to try to wear Floyd down. They get Floyd up, whip him into the ropes and on the return nail him with a double team clothesline!
Harold Meisner: Man, this is good teamwork from Angellus and Travis.
Sara Butler: Yeah but they are still opponents of each other in this match, so maybe their teamwork won’t last for long.
As Travis comes towards Floyd, he is met with sudden opposition from Floyd by way of a powerslam! Floyd goes for a cover....

Angellus comes over and quickly breaks the count with a hard kick to Floyd’s head!

Angellus now takes over and gets Floyd up and hits an inverted back breaker. He follows up with a Japanese arm drag. Floyd is in pain but is by no means giving up yet. Floyd fights his way to his feet and start to nail Angellus with hard elbow shots to the ribs of Angellus!!
Travis tries to interfere but is met with a boot to the midsection by Floyd followed by a snap suplex! Floyd puts his focus back to Angellus, grabs him and lunges him into the corner where Angellus goes shoulder first right into the turnbuckles!! Angellus falls to the mat in pain as he is now holding onto his shoulder!
Floyd starts to attack that hurt shoulder with repeated stomps!
Sara Butler: This could be the game changer here. The champion is hurt now.
George Sullivan: I agree, Angellus needs to get away from Floyd to recover and give himself some space to do so.
Harold Meisner: This match has been fast paced from the moment that bell rang!
Travis is now on the attack to Floyd to try and save Angellus from any more torture. Travis nails Floyd with a dropkick and when Floyd gets back up, Travis hits a few hard throat chops forcing Floyd back into the corner! Travis hits sharp knee shots to the ribs of Floyd while keeping Floyd trapped in the corner!
George Sullivan: Floyd needs to get out of that corner!

[The show goes to a commercial break advertising ICW's next show Monday Night Carnage]
(Inside the locker room of Floyd McCarver, we see Floyd and his wife Arianna celebrating and laughing as they talk about the big win Floyd has just achieved tonight by becoming the new United States champion.)
Floyd McCarver: I finally have gold again! I am so happy right now!
Arianna McCarver: As you should be! I am happy too Floyd!
(As they keep talking and smiling at each other, we now see Darren Maddox slowly walk up to the open doorway and he stands there looking at them both. Darren does not look happy about Floyd's victory tonight and is not about to stay silent about it.)
Darren Maddox: You both are actually celebrating this? Really? You both know that Maverick screwed me over for the U.S title by going to the ring and interfering in my match which caused me to lose the title in the first place.
(The smiles fade from Floyd and Arianna. They look at each other, not sure how to respond, but then Floyd looks at Darren and responds.)
Floyd McCarver: Me and your mother are just happy that I have a title again, that's all Darren. We are by no means happy over what Maverick did to you. It was wrong of him to go to the ring like he did during your title match.
Arianna McCarver: Son....me and Floyd know you is having hard time with Maverick. He rebel against you and is wrong for him to do so. Me and Floyd feel bad what happen to you when you lose title. But we are only celebrate Floyd win title, that is all. We would never celebrate you hurt like this.
Floyd McCarver: Your mother is right. In fact, it bothers us to see you hurt Darren. We would never celebrate that. You know that I love you like a son and never want to see you hurt. I would never--
Darren Maddox (angrily): SAVE IT... I don't need to hear you trying to smooth this over by telling me how much you care, McCarver. The damage is already done. I lost the United States title....and now here you are all happy about swooping in and taking it for yourself, knowing DAMN WELL I lost it unfairly because of Maverick.
(Darren turns and promptly walks away from the doorway.)
(Floyd looks at Arianna and their celebration is now cut short because they are concerned about Darren's anger over Floyd becoming the U.S champion.)
Jennifer Makarios-Lopez & ?? Vs The Uprising
(The Russian national anthem starts to play as De Uprising comes out on stage before making their way to the ring. The crowd boos them.)
Rick Henderson: From Russia, De Uprising!
George Sullivan: These two are hoping to get rid of the Jenn and her mystery partner, but at the same time they have no idea who that partner is!
Harley Meisner: It could be anybody but I’m sure they did some history lesson, so we’ll see what these guys can do.
Sara Butler: We’ll see indeed!
("Hey you" by Disturbed starts playing on the PA systems, Jenn makes her way from the back. She stands on the stage for a few seconds with a smile on her face, looking over the crowd. She starts walking down the ramp with confidence. While doing so, she high-fives a few fans that are sitting in the front row, and people that are stretching their arms for a high five.)
George Sullivan: A woman who is desperate to win the world title, but she puts that on pause to teach these kids a lesson. She’s a legend in this business, perhaps one of the greatest talents in the modern day to never win a world title but that shouldn’t overshadow what she’s done for this business.
Harley Meisner: While all that is true, she has to focus on this match. She can’t focus on the world title that she wants. I just wanna know who her partner is, I tried to ask her earlier today and she walked past me as if i was invisible. She’s up to something.
(The lights dim as the opening chords of “MZ Hyde” by Halestorm hit. Strobe lights start to flash at the top of the ramp as Alexis Makarios comes out from behind the curtain and stops at the top of the ramp. The arena fills with a chorus of “FIRECRACKER”. She smiles big as she looks around, taking it all in as the crowd is GOING NUTS!)
George Sullivan: NO WAY! THAT’S HER PARTNER?! HER SISTER?! ALEXIS!? OH MY GOD!
Harley Meisner: Oh my god is right! We haven’t seen her in a few years and I know she hasn’t wrestled since May when she became a free agent but she’s back in ICW!
Sara Butler: Listen to this place! It’s as if the Calgary Flames won the Stanley Cup!
(Alexis meets up with her sister at ringside before they hug each other with big smiles on their faces. The smiles turn into mean looks as they stare down De uprising who are in shock of what’s going on here, they didn’t expect THIS to happen. Jenn and Alexis slowly creep their way up towards the ring.)
George Sullivan: De Uprising better watch out!
Harley Meisner: I don’t like the look of these two legendary figures.
(As the bell rings, Dmiry and Jenn start off the match and they lock up in the middle of the ring. Jenn gets the early advantage of the match when she twists his arm behind him. He tries everything to bring his arm back but Jenn has played this game for so many years now she knows how to counter out of a counter and it’s what she does. She keeps his arm behind him before first throwing him into the turnbuckles. Outside we see Jasmine, a friend and student of Jenn’s giving her applause.)
George Sullivan: How does Dmitry approach someone like Jenn? Someone who’s been in this business for years and knows everything.
Harley Meisner: Carefully. We mentioned Jenn is a legend earlier and she is! Dmitry has to tread carefully because he has no idea what she’s capable of or Lexi either.
Sara Butler: On the same aspect, Jenn shouldn’t take Dmitry lightly either.
(Jenn catches Dmitry bouncing off the turnbuckles and hits a beautiful snap suplex, she would go for the pin but it’s way too early for that to happen. Jenn stays on the offensive here by having her way with Dmitry but Dmitry starts to find a way to fight back. But Jenn got crafty and rakes his eyes to the ref’s disbelief and a warning was given as well that she brushed off like he was an annoying fly.)
Harley Meisner: SEE! That’s what Dmitry needs to stay away from, things like that.
Sara Butler: I don’t the ref will allow another one to happen.
Harley Meisner: You kidding? She’ll do it in front of the ref’s eyes again if it means keeping control of the match.
(Blinded by the fingers to the eyes, Dmitry is trying to figure out where Jenn is but she’s moving around like a boxer staying away from him til she hits a dropkick that sends him to the ground, she goes for the early cover.)
1……..
(Dmitry kicks out at the count of 1, and his partner had one foot in the ring as well. Almost like he wanted to break it up if he needed to. Jenn stays in control for a bit longer but Dmitry finds his footing in the match when he starts to fight back and has Jenn covering up in defense. As he has the advantage in the match, we can see Lexi starting to pace on the outside like a caged animal, She wants to be tagged right now to help her sister out but Dmitry doesn’t allow that to happen. Dmitry tags in Vladimir. Vladimir does the same thing Dmitry does, and he keeps Jenn away from her sister.)
George Sullivan: This is a smart choice!
Harley Meisner: Yeah it is to keep Jenn away from Lexi, Look at Lexi though, she’s like a caged animal waiting to be let go.
(Vladimir keeps control on Jenn but Jenn starts to fight back and she tries to dive for the tag but Vladimir grabs her leg to make her come up short for the tag, so Jenn starts to get angry and throws heavy shots at Vladimir, enough to drop him where he stands, Jenn starts to crawl towards her corner and reaches for a tag but Dmirty sneaks around the ring and pulls Lexi off the ropes and throws her into the steps.)
Harley Meisner: That’s smart!
Sara Butler: For now, but all he did is piss Lexi off even more.
(Meanwhile, in the ring, Vladimir has complete control over Jenn and throws her around the ring but Jenn doesn’t give up, she keeps fighting back. She kicks Vladimir in the head to create some separation and it works! She finally makes her way to Lexi and makes the tag! The crowd goes WILD for the tag! The hard cam starts shaking because of the wildness they’re showing. Lexi comes in and starts throwing around clotheslines and back body drops and dropkicks like they’re going out of style to the crowds’ delight. A HUGE Let’s go Lexi chant breaks out)
George Sullivan: Listen to this place!
Harley Meisner: Uprising is in trouble.
(Lexi is on fire here and Vladimir tries his best to create some separation but it doesn’t work, that match starts to break down here when Dmitry comes in and blindsides Lexi with a forearm to the back of the head, the crowd boos but then out of nowhere we see Jenn flying into the picture with a dropkick that knocks Dmirty to the outside of the ring, where they start fighting. The ref lost control of this match and decided to let it go with people fighting everywhere it’s hard for him to control it.)
George Sullivan: The ref lost complete control of this match.
Harley Meisner: Well, you have 2 forces on one side that has a temper, so of course he did.
(The camera zooms out to wide mode so everyone can see the action, we can see Jenn throwing Dmitry into the steps at ringside, so hard in fact the steps flip over on their side. In the ring, Lexi is taking care of business. She waits for Vladimir to stand up before hitting a running knee to the jaw of his before going for a pin.)
1………
2………..
(Vladimir kicks out at the count of 2. Vladimir creates some separation between the two of them after the pinfall attempt but it doesn’t last long at all as Lexi is like a rabid dog waiting to take down their prey. Vladimir tries all he can to get rid of her but she doesn’t back off, and she hits “Down Unda Thunda” on him, Jenn throws Dmitry into the ring post for good measure as Lexi goes for the pin.)

3!
Rick Henderson: And the winners! Alexis and Jenn Makarios!
George Sullivan: These 2 legends had their way with Uprising here, and the bond they have as sisters worked to their advantage.
Harley Meisner: It sure did! I thought the uprising knew what they were in for but I don’t think we’ve heard the end of these 2 teams.
(Jenn and Alexis celebrate with the fans as Uprising marches angrily up the ramp and back towards the locker room. However, we see a masked wrestler slither into the ring behind the two! The person seems to target Jenn as they hit a massive superkick on her when she turned around!! Lexi turns around to see this figure close up and the figure runs away, and Lexi chases them through the crowd)
George Sullivan: Who the hell?!
Harley Meisner: We have had a lot of masked wrestlers a lot lately, but who is this one now!?
Sara Butler: Noticed they only went after Jenn? It has to be someone from Jenn’s past. It has to be, or else they pissed off the wrong people at the wrong time.
(The show goes backstage where we see tons of destruction going on as Alexis is still chasing the masked person. It appears that they’ve gone all around the backstage area leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Now we’re at the parking lot where Alexis is on that person’s trail)
Alexis Makarios: Come on show your face, you coward!
(The masked person throws a shoe!)
George Sullivan: Who throws a shoe!?
Harley Meisner: This day in age? Everyone. But who is this person she’s after?!
(Alexis finally catches up to the person enough to grab their shoulder but they duck out of the way and go the opposite direction and dive into a moving car! Alexis shouts at the car)
Alexis Makarios: I BET YOU DON’T HAVE TO GUTS TO SHOW UP ON THE NEXT SHOW YOU GODDAMN COWARD! RUN! THAT’S WHAT YOU’RE GOOD AT.
(Alexis walks away from the parking lot in a different direction, and then we see a pair of legs show up on screen. This person is wearing blue jeans and black sneakers to observe the destruction going on)
Person: This is how my first day on the job goes? I suppose I should let the night guy clean this up….
(The camera pans up to reveal Eddie Lopez Sr! A legend of this business, a hall of famer as well, and the crowd goes nuts for their hero on screen! He has a piece of cake in his hand)
Eddie Lopez Sr: Good cake though.
George Sullivan: What the hell! Eddie is here too!?
Harley Meisner: Oh man! Wait! Why is he here?! How is he going to control these two? What happened to Nigel?!
World Heavyweight Championship

Jackson Kent (c) vs The Enforcer
Rick Henderson: The following contest is a Monsters Ball Match, and it is for the ICW World Heavyweight Championship!
Ace of Spades’ by Motorhead plays throughout the arena, as Jackson Kent comes walking out from the back. A huge round of pyros goes off, as Jackson Kent comes out looking pissed off and agitated as all hell.
