Who is the Number 1 Contender?

There is a new announcers booth at ringside, as the newest BBA Commentator, Rob Sternberg, will be calling the action tonight. BBA Commissioner Mike Savage hits the ring to make a few matches for tonight. The Arch Angel immediately hits the ring, shakes hands with the Commish, and he has a proposal. He has been working week in and week out, beating all challengers. He asks Savage what does he believe that he wants. Savage says, "A World Title shot?" and of course he is correct. He asks if he is giving him the World Title shot, and Savage agrees. "The Franchise" John Hanley's music hits immediately, and it looks like someone doesn't agree. In his first promo in the BBA, Franchise demands the World Title shot from Calypso, and Mike Savage agrees and gives him the shot instead of Arch Angel. Arch Angel argues with both Savage and Franchise, and it looks like this is going to get ugly. Arch Angel swings away on Franchise, Franchise ducks away, and nails Arch Angel over the head with the kendo stick! Arch Angel is laid out as The Franchise has propelled to the top as he gets his first opportunity to win the BBA Heavyweight gold.
