[The Friday Night Thunder opening video package plays on the screen before the video cameras begin panning around showing off the audience in different views, both the audience in attendance and the viewing experience from the enhanced footage from the fans watching at home on ICW's Thunderdome.]
(The show opens to Darren Maddox walking backstage when ICW interviewer Malcolm Reed comes up to him with a microphone. Darren stops walking and gives Malcolm an annoyed look.)
Malcolm Reed: Darren, in your promo against Adam Gatner, you had some very harsh words to say to him. Don't you think that perhaps they were a little TOO harsh?
Darren Maddox: Too harsh? Not at all Malcolm. I said exactly what needed to be said to Gatner. He claims to be my wife's good friend, yet he doesn't bother to reach out to her to see how she is. Everyone knows how Lycra's been on a downward spiral with her emotional state of mind. And it really pisses me off that Gatner hasn't bothered with Lycra to offer his support.
(Darren pauses for a moment, then gets an idea in his head.)
Darren Maddox: You know what? I really think I would be justified in paying James Gibbs a little visit tonight before my match with Gatner. I'm gonna tell Gibbs to make this match a title match. You know why I'm gonna do that? Because Gatner doesn't deserve to hold that world title. And if anyone can take it from him, it's me.
(With an angry look, Darren walks away and Malcolm watches him leave.)

Both Women stare each other down and Maxine goes for a Bitch Slap but gets her hand blocked by Madison and gets bitch slapped by her instead!

Rick Henderson: Here's Your Winner Madison Carpenter!
Winner: Madison Carpenter via Pinfall
(Inside Darren Maddox's locker room stands Darren and Lycra. He is still mad about Gatner not reaching out to her.)
Darren Maddox: It really angers me that Gatner hasn't bothered with you. Any husband would feel the same as I am right now. Anyone who calls themselves a friend to your wife, yet they don't bother to help your wife. That would piss off any husband.
Lycra: Wait.... What are you talking about? Adam's reached out to me. Many times in fact.
Darren Maddox: When And how? Because I haven't seen anything whatsoever that would tell me he's reached out. I've heard no calls of you talking to him. He hasn't been to the house.
(Lycra pulls out her cellphone and calls up all the text messages and voice messages Adam had left for her. She lets Darren see and hear them all along with the dates they were sent to her.)
Lycra: And he and Nidrah came by my locker room tonight to offer their help to me. I told them I just wasn't up to talking to anyone these past few weeks. They understood.
Darren Maddox: Alright then. Glad to hear this. In that case, he gets to keep his world title for now because I was gonna go to James Gibbs tonight before our match and insist he make it a title match. But now that you've shown me proof that Gatner has reached out, more than once, that is what I needed to hear.
(He puts his hand gently to the side of Lycra's face and looks at her.)
Darren Maddox: I don't want anyone to hurt you. Thinking that Gatner hadn't bothered with you, I knew that would have hurt you very much. No one purposely hurts my wife. I won't allow it.
(The show goes to commercials.)
Darren Maddox vs Adam Gatner
The show returns from a commercial break as Darren Maddox and Adam Gatner standing in the middle of the ring. Neither man is looking to adhere to the code of honor as neither wanted to shake the others hand.
Darren and Adam locks up in a test of strength with Adam turning it into an Overhead Belly to Belly Suplex. Adam then goes for the cover but Darren quickly kicks out.
Darren runs against the ropes and connects with a Sling Blade knocking down Adam. Adam gets back up to his feet and runs at Darren who ducks out of the way causing Adam to crash into the corner turnbuckle. Darren waits for Adam to get out of the corner and then connects with a DDT.
Harley Meisner: Darren was able to change the momentum with that DDT.
Sara Butler: Adam will get back into the match, don’t worry about it.
George Sullivan: Darren will prove to everyone that he can still go on that main event level.
Suddenly Mutombo’s music plays as he comes down ring side and stands in the corner of Adam. Darren is distracted by this which allows Adam to roll outside of the ring to catch a breather.
Darren heads out of the ring after Adam who is shown looking at Mutombo and asking him what’s he doing out here during his match with Darren. Adam turns around and gets kicked in the gut by Darren before being thrown back into the ring.
Adam unknowingly has the referee’s attention when he enters the ring that he doesn’t see that Mutombo slams Darren back first into the ring apron.
Darren slowly crawls back into the ring as Adam is there waiting and starts stomping away on the body of Darren. Darren begins shaking as he takes all these hits from Adam but they seem to be having little to no effect to Darren.
Harley Meisner: Why is Mutombo even doing out here? Has Adam joined forces with Dr. Johnstone?
Sara Butler: I don’t think so. I think Mutombo is doing this on his own accord.
George Sullivan: Darren has to now deal with Adam in the ring and Mutombo on the outside of the ring.
Adam looks like he’s seen a ghost in the form of the old Darren Maddox who is now throwing rights and lefts to Adam. Mutombo stands up on the ring apron distracting Darren again.
Darren goes over to Mutombo and can be heard asking him, “what’s your problem man, stop interfering in my match against Adam”.
Mutombo doesn’t answer Darren at all but instead shoves Darren away from him causing Adam to get disqualified. Adam walks up to Mutombo but before Adam can say anything to him, Mutombo drops Adam with a quick chop to the head.
Harley Meisner: And just like that Darren’s match against Adam is ruined.
Sara Butler: Mutombo had a purpose for coming out here since the opening of the match.
George Sullivan: Mutombo wants to send a message through these two men but especially Darren.
Mutombo now starts beating the hell out of Darren who is trying his best to cover up from the shots by Mutombo to no avail.
Floyd McCarver’s music plays over the arena as he makes his way down to the ring and now Mutombo and Floyd are fighting each other in the middle of the ring.
Floyd and Mutombo continue to brawl all the way up the entrance ramp and to the backstage area where finally other referees and backstage staff are trying to separate these two men from one another.
Back at ring side both Darren and Adam are helped to the trainers office as the show heads to a commercial break.
Winner: Darren Maddox via DQ
#1 Contenders Match World Tag Team Titles
Legend Killers (Robert Saints & Andrew Storm) vs London Reigns (Lacey London & Ace Reigns)
(Renegade's Elite will be on guest commentary)
(Legends Thrillers stand on the far side of the ring, discussing who will start the match for them. On the near side of the ring, closer to the camera stands London Regins, they as well are discussing who will start. Once a decision is reached, Ace and Robert start off the match for their respective teams as the bell starts to ring. Both of them stare down towards RE, who is at ringside before locking up.)
Jenn Carpenter Lopez: You know, they shouldn’t be paying attention to us, We’re not going to be doing anything…
Gracie Lopez: You know… we’re just out here to get a closer look at whoever wins this match.
George Sullivan: Do you care who wins?
Jenn Carpenter Lopez: Not really, no. We just want competition.
(Early going of the match, both men start to feel each other. Trying to figure out the best way to get the upper hand on one another. Ace finally gains the upper hand by dragging Robert down onto the mat with a leg takedown. Robert and Ace roll around the ground for a short time before a pin attempt happens.)
1…….
2……….
(Robert kicks out at the count of 2. After the pin, Ace pulls Robert towards his corner and tags in Lacey. Lacey comes and takes control of the match early on.)
Harley Meisner: What do you think of Ace and Lacey’s work so far?
Jenn Carpenter Lopez: I like they’re staying on the attack, but they have to keep an eye on the big man in the corner that hasn’t got tagged in yet. Plus, Ace is a champion, he shouldn’t be that stupid to let Andrew in. Keep the big man out at all costs.
Gracie Lopez: Not a championship either of us would go after.
Harley Meisner: Why not?
Gracie: It’s not our style. We don’t do hardcore matches, if they tell us we do, We’ll refuse. We’re above that level of barbarians.
(Lacey has control of the match for a little while before Robert starts to make his come back. When he does, he ducks any moves that Lacey tries to put on him. After a good back and forth battle between the two, both are down on the mat after a double clothesline. Robert crawls to Andrew, and Lacey does the same for her partner. Both got tagged in! Both come in like two bulls in a china shop, smacking meat on each other and running things over. Ace and Andrew run all over the arena, tearing things up. From the steps at ringside to the barricade covering, they even fight in front of the girls at the announce table, so seemed unimpressed with either of them. Once back in the ring, the match remains a good physical back and forth match)
Jenn Carpenter Lopez: Look at these guys trying to kill each other in this match to face us, gotta love the level of intensity these 2 teams have.
Gracie Lopez: Yeah, whoever wins this match deserves the number one contendership. But that also means they need to train hard for us because they’re in for a war.
George Sullivan: I’m impressed, normally when we have guests here, they trash talk their opponents.
Gracie Lopez: We could, but why would we give away our strategy? Make them work for it, you know?
Jenn Carpenter Lopez: Don’t want to make it easy for them.
(Towards the end of the match, all 4 of the rings involved are tired and exhausted. A few tags have been placed as well, Robert Saints and Lacey are now in the ring. Both teams had some tags while the announce team talked. Ace Reigns sneaks around the ring and takes out the big man, leaving Robert with nobody to tag in. Lacey and Ace start to tag each other in taking turns to beat down Robert. Doesn’t take long before Ace to hit “Reign drop” on Robert, and pins.)
1…….
2………
3!
(As soon as the three count hits, the girls get up from the desk and rush like the ring like they’re going to attack, but they stand at the end of the ring apron. Ace and Lacey look towards them, ready to fight. Jenn and Gracie however, grow smiles on their faces before walking separately on either side of the ring slowly. Before walking up the ramp. On the ramp, Kayla waited for them and stood next to her girl. Jenn and Gracie and Kayla all look down towards the ring, we can hear Gracie talk.)
Gracie: On our time!
(Both girls raise their belts with Ace and Lacey nodding their heads. They know they’re in for a battle but it’s a battle they’re looking for.)
Sara Butler: You can cut the tension with a knife here! I thought the girls would attack them.
Harley Meisner: On their time!
George Sullivan: Man, this is gonna be good!
Winners: Ace Reigns and Lacey London via Pinfall
(As a young male stage hand is heading down one of the hallways backstage, Dean Andry comes on up to him.)
Dean Andry: Yo! Have ya seen Enforca?!
Stagehand: No I haven't seen him. He isn't booked, so maybe he's not here tonight.
Dean Andry: Oh I see. So, he just gets to be lazy in his old age n' not have to come to the shows even if he ain't booked?
Stagehand: Don't you think you might want to watch what you say about him Dean? I mean, he may not be here tonight, but he's probably at home watching the show, which means, he's just heard what you said about him.
Dean Andry: Ya know somethin'! Ya absolutely right! And I reeeaaaalllyyyy hope he IS watchin'!
(Dean turns n' looks right at da camera!)
Dean Andry: If ya watchin' this right now Enforca, I was just 'round here lookin' for ya so that I can tell ya this to ya face! Buuuuttt since ya ain't here tonight by da look of it, I'm just gonna have to say this right here on camera! 'Least you'll still see it, right??!!
Dean Andry: This a new year Enforca! N' that means new goals for Dean Boy here. Sooooo, I got to thinkin' this past week 'bout some a' da things I still gotta accomplish here in ICW.

And if ya answer with a "Yes", then ya just might be a real champion. If ya answer with a "No", then ya ain't nothin' more than a coward.
Main Event
Alexis Makarios vs Knight Blaze
The show returns from commercials with Alexis Makarios and Knight Blaze already in the middle of the ring.
Harley Meisner: Just look at the shape of Alexis Makarios coming into this match.
Sara Butler: She hasn’t looked better, I agree.
George Sullivan: Alexis is fighting for more now than she has before.
The two wrestlers are checked for illegal objects before they come to the middle of the ring and adhere to the code of honor and shake each other’s hand.
Harley Meisner: Much respect to Knight Blaze to shake Alexis’ hands there.
Sara Butler: Knight Blaze is a top caliber talent, he won’t sink to Alexis’ level.
George Sullivan: Knight Blaze needs this win more than Alexis Makarios does.
The bell rings starting the match as Alexis and Knight lock up in a test of strength. Knight gets the upper hand and transitions it into an Overhead Belly to Belly Suplex.
Knight waits for Alexis to get back up to her feet and then runs at her going for a Running Clothesline but she ducks under the Running Clothesline and connects with a Spike DDT flooring Knight.
Knight quickly gets back on his feet as he gives Alexis a look of yeah, you got one on me but that’s not going to be enough to beat me. Alexis runs at Knight and connects with the Sling Blade. Alexis then applies the headlock onto Knight.
Harley Meisner: Alexis taking quick control of this match.
Sara Butler: Knight will bounce in the match, it’s still early.
George Sullivan: These two aren’t afraid to destroy each other.
Alexis makes sure her body is behind Knight as to be able to put extra torque on the move without worrying about Knight being able to get her off of him. Knight is starting to fade as the referee checking on him.
Knight finds another gear out of nowhere and makes back up to his feet and throws Alexis off of him. Alexis goes flying halfway across the ring as Knight then crumbles onto the mat.
Knight rolls out of the ring to catch a breather after being in that headlock for so long but Alexis dives between the top and middle ropes at Knight on the outside of the ring.
Harley Meisner: Alexis not allowing Knight to stay too long out there alone.
Sara Butler: Knight needs to regroup and fast.
George Sullivan: This match is evenly contested that I’m not sure who’s going to win this match.
Knight pushes Alexis away causing her to crash into the barricade hard. Knight then scoops up Alexis and throws her back into the ring. Knight re-enters the ring as Alexis starts stomping away at him as Knight tries to get into the ring.
Alexis grabs Knight and pulls him up to his feet. She then runs against the ropes going for a Running Spear but Knight is able to get his knee up and stop the Running Spear.
Knight then locks up with another test of strength but Alexis scratches and claws out of the hold and connects with a Sunset Flip which Knight easily powers out of.
Harley Meisner: What a tremendous back and forth match between these two competitors.
Sara Butler: Alexis is thinking up her next plan of attack to Knight.
George Sullivan: Knight isn’t no spring chicken so he’ll get back into this match and payback Alexis for what she has done to him.
Knight now back up on his feet and pulls in Alexis as he connects with a Side Belly to Belly Suplex. Knight doesn’t let go as he hits a second one and then finally a third one before releasing his grasp on Alexis.
It’s evident that the triple Side Belly to Belly Suplexes have taken their toll on both wrestlers as neither of them are able to get back up to their feet right away. The referee starts his ten counts as both Alexis and Knight struggles to get back up to their feet by using the ring ropes.
After some time they lock eyes on each other in the middle of the ring as they just start slugging it out with rights and lefts. Alexis gets the upper hand and really goes to town on the face of Knight as he tries to cover up.
Harley Meisner: Alexis really throwing those hands at Knight.
Sara Butler: Knight is going to be okay, he just needs another breather.
George Sullivan: I just don’t see how Knight is going to come back from this beating from Alexis.
The referee tries to step in between Alexis and Knight but Alexis gives him a look like I’ll beat your ass too if you break this up. The referee backs away as Alexis now drags Knight close to one of the corners of the ring.
Alexis starts climbing to the top rope thinking about going for the Down Unda Thunda but Knight rolls out of the way causing Alexis to jump down off of the top rope back into the ring.
Knight gets up and Alexis knocks him down with a Superkick. Alexis now does a few stomps on every ligament of Knight to make sure he doesn’t move when she climbs back up to the top rope.
Harley Meisner: Alexis is so close to winning this match of only she can hit her finisher.
Sara Butler: Knight got out of the way once before so he’ll be able to do it again.
George Sullivan: Alexis might be unstoppable here as she’s looking for Down Unda Thunda.
Alexis surveys her opponent on the mat for a little bit before she jumps off and connects with Down Unda Thunda. Knight tries his best to kick out but it’s one second too late as the referee counts the three counts.
Winner: Alexis Makarios by Pinfall.
Alexis and Knight shake hands after the match adhering to the code of honor as Knight motions to Alexis that tonight she’s better but he’ll get another shot against her.
Alexis celebrates her win in the ring as the show fades out.
(The show opens to Darren Maddox walking backstage when ICW interviewer Malcolm Reed comes up to him with a microphone. Darren stops walking and gives Malcolm an annoyed look.)
Malcolm Reed: Darren, in your promo against Adam Gatner, you had some very harsh words to say to him. Don't you think that perhaps they were a little TOO harsh?
Darren Maddox: Too harsh? Not at all Malcolm. I said exactly what needed to be said to Gatner. He claims to be my wife's good friend, yet he doesn't bother to reach out to her to see how she is. Everyone knows how Lycra's been on a downward spiral with her emotional state of mind. And it really pisses me off that Gatner hasn't bothered with Lycra to offer his support.
(Darren pauses for a moment, then gets an idea in his head.)
Darren Maddox: You know what? I really think I would be justified in paying James Gibbs a little visit tonight before my match with Gatner. I'm gonna tell Gibbs to make this match a title match. You know why I'm gonna do that? Because Gatner doesn't deserve to hold that world title. And if anyone can take it from him, it's me.
(With an angry look, Darren walks away and Malcolm watches him leave.)

Lacey and Ace start to tag each other in taking turns to beat down Robert. Doesn’t take long before Ace to hit “Reign drop” on Robert, and pins.)

(As soon as the three count hits, the girls get up from the desk and rush like the ring like they’re going to attack, but they stand at the end of the ring apron. Ace and Lacey look towards them, ready to fight. Jenn and Gracie however, grow smiles on their faces before walking separately on either side of the ring slowly. Before walking up the ramp. On the ramp, Kayla waited for them and stood next to her girl. Jenn and Gracie and Kayla all look down towards the ring, we can hear Gracie talk.)
Gracie: On our time!
(Both girls raise their belts with Ace and Lacey nodding their heads. They know they’re in for a battle but it’s a battle they’re looking for.)
Sara Butler: You can cut the tension with a knife here! I thought the girls would attack them.
Harley Meisner: On their time!
George Sullivan: Man, this is gonna be good!
