Maura Downs: What a night we have for you tonight... EWA is getting better and better every week, and we begin tonight with the tag team championships on the line. Louis Carvanelie: Sam Hain defended his US Championship against Ender last week, in a sensational ladder match, and tonight is a tag team table elimination match. Maura Downs: And that's not all... Tornado faces a mystery opponent in an Iron Fist Chain match, whatever that is... Louis Carvanelie: Tommy Purr takes on Bean for the TV title, and if Bean loses, that's it, no more chances, and our final match is a Handicap match, a match full of talent... Maura Downs: Too true Louis, as in a match-up made by Dave Chain last week, Butcher teams up with John Steele to take on Christian Cage, Malinko AND Nuclear Cape. Louis Carvanelie: Not to mention there's still the little matter of Butchers hitman... Are we going to see any more attempts tonight to take out the champion!? Maura Downs: But up next... the tag team titles on the line...

TAG TEAM ELIMINATION: TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH SAM HAIN AND MARSHALL GATES (C) VS AZARIEL AND ENDER

Sam Hain begins this match-up by driving Azariel into the corner, and chopping him down, before whipping him with velocity into the opposite corner, and then knocking Ender off the apron and running at Azariel, who gets his foot up into Hains face. Azariel goes to jump out of the corner, but Gates pulls him back by his hair, and Sam Hain immediately stomps down on Azariel, dragging him to his feet and pushing him into the corner. Gates grabs Azariel by the throat and pulls back, choking him down as Hain punches Azariel in the ribs and gives them some stiff kicks as well. The ref administers a warning to Gates and orders him to let go of Azariel, and he does so, as Hain suplexes him into the centre of the ring, before jumping up onto the second rope, and landing an elbow drop to Azariels heart. Sam Hain drags Azariel to his feet, as Azariel gives him a couple of elbow shots to the ribs and goes to hit the ropes, but Azariel gets dragged back by Hain, and pulled into a swinging neckbreaker. Hain puts him down to the mat with force, and tags in Marshall Gates, who drags Azariel to his feet and starts hitting a few elbows to Azariels face, and then whips him into his corner. Gates drives his knee into Azariels ribs a couple of times, and drags Azariel from the corner, and hits a european uppercut onto Azariel, knocking him into the corner before stepping back and running foward, into a boot from Azariel, who swings his elbow back and hits Hain, before raising his feet up and taking Gates down with a hurracanrana, and Gates gets to his feet, into a straight armdrag, followed by a short arm clothsline, and then Azariel whips Gates into the ropes and hits a spinning shoulder block, knocking Gates to the mat. Sam Hain steps in the ring and Azariel knocks him down with a right, as the referee steps foward and tries to eject Hain from the ring. Ender takes his chance and jumps into the ring and as quick as anything, hits the Finale Kick on Marshall Gates!!

Maura Downs: If this was a straight tag team match, Azariel and Ender could have this match won, but they've got to put their opponents through tables! Louis Carvanelie: And that's exactly what's on Enders mind, as he steps to the outside... The ring is surrounded by wood Maura. Maura Downs: And looks like one of the tables has took Enders fancy, sliding it into the ring for Azariel to set up...

Hain sets up a table on the outside of the ring whilst Azariel sets one up against the turnbuckle, and grabs another Hain slides in again, and sets it up in the centre of the ring. Azariel sets Gates up for a suplex through the table, and lifts Azariel into the air, but Hain jumps into the ring, and pulls the table out of the way. Gates hits the mat, but isn't eliminated because he wasn't put through a table, as Azariel, confused for a second, turns into a back elbow. Hain looks to whip Azariel into the table propped up against the turnbuckle, but Azariel changes his direction, and hits a springboard dropkick instead on Hain. Hain goes down and slides under the bottom rope, as Gates gets to his feet and smashes an elbow across Azariels back, before setting up the table. Ender slides into the ring and spears down Gates as Gates reaches for Azariel, and then Azariel dives over the top rope into a summersault plancha over the top rope hitting Hain. Ender grabs Gates up and lifts him above his shoulders, looking for a press slam through the table, but Gates rolls off, and Ender turns around, into a shot to the ribs, and then Gates goes for a powerbomb through the table, but Ender reverses and looks to whip Gates into the table in the corner, but Gates reverses and smashes Ender into the table, which doesn't break. Gates smashes Enders face against the table and steps to the opposite side of the ropes as Ender lays prone against the table, and Gates rushes foward for a spear, BUT ENDER MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!! Marshall Gates crashes through the table, but is not eliminated.

Maura Downs: Marshall Gates hasn't been eliminated let me just confirm, the opponents have to put them through a table in order to be eliminated. Louis Carvanelie: But that will still have damaged Gates shoulders and head and neck, and will make it easier for either Azariel or Ender to put him through a table.

On the outside, Hain has just whipped Azariel into the steel steps, and slides into the ring just as Ender has Gates up for a stalling vertical suplex, and he pulls Gates down, and Hain and Gates whip Ender into the ropes, but Ender explodes from them with a double clothsline, knocking the tag team champions down. Hain gets to his feet and suffers a right hand knocking him down, and Gates gets up into a stiff clothsline, as Ender stomps down on both his opponents. He grabs Hain and goes to throw him over the top rope and through the table, but Hain adjusts and lands on the apron, and then drives his elbow into Enders stomach, and tries to hook him for a suplex to the outside, but Ender moves off and lands on the apron next to Hain. The two trade shots on the apron, as Marshall Gates gets to his feet. He hits the ropes, and has his sights set on Ender, but out of no-where, Azariel hits a missile dropkick. On the apron, Hain gets the upper hand in a fist war, and rushes Ender into the turnbuckle. Ender cracks his back on the post and falls to the floor. Hain jumps down and slams Enders head on the apron, before dragging another table and setting it up. He goes back to Ender, who hits an elbow to the ribs, and then drops him with a DDT onto the floor. Marshall Gates has Azariel above his head though, and Ender turns, just in time to see Azariels body flying towards him. Ender manages to catch him, and puts Azariel down as Gates flies over the top ropes, and both Azariel and Ender catch him, before hitting a variation of the fallaway slam, with both of them slinging Gates over their shoulders and into the crowd. Ender turns around though, straight into a chair shot from Sam Hain, and then he goes for Azariel, who reacts with a quick punch to the gut, which causes Hain to drop the chair, and then a Tornado DDT straight onto the steel. Azariel rolls Hain onto the table, and then jumps up onto the crowd barrier. He raises his arms to cheers from the crowd, but Marshall Gates arm shoots into the picture, and moves Azariels foot, and Azariel falls straight down on the crowd barrier.

Maura Downs: This match has officially spilled to the outside, and the ref is just going to let it slide. Louis Carvanelie: He's lost all control and there's nothing he can do.

Sam Hain rolls off the table, and hooks up Azariel... AND HITS THE FINAL DESCENT THROUGH THE TABLE!!! Azariel has been eliminated.

Maura Downs: Ender is in trouble now, as he's got to fight off both Sam Hain and Marshall Gates... That's the nature of this match. Louis Carvanelie: And Sam Hain has already placed two tables into the ring. Maura Downs: Sam Hain obviously with evil intentions for those tables.

Ender gets rolled into the ring, as Marshall Gates appears from behind the crowd barrier, and slides into the ring. He grabs Ender and holds him up, and laughs, telling Sam Hain to do something. Sam Hain smiles back, and steps back, before going for Enders Finale Kick, BUT ENDER MOVES OUT OF THE WAY, AND SAM HAIN HITS MARSHALL GATES WITH THE FINALE KICK!! Ender then hits a Finale Kick of his own on Sam Hain, and as Marshall Gates comes back off the ropes, he hits a one-arm flapjack through a table, eliminating him from the match.

Maura Downs: Ender has brought it back to one on one and who will take home the gold. Louis Carvanelie: And now he's looking to put Hain through that remaining table...

Ender sets up Hain in a rock bottom position, but Hain fights back with some elbows to the side of the head. Hain holds his face and goes to his knees, in obvious pain after that Finale Kick, and Ender walks foward, into a spinebuster from Hain out of desperation. Both men are down, and Azariel has come back to the ring. There are no disqualifications, but he's up on the top rope, and HITS A MOONSAULT ON SAM HAIN!! Hain is down and Azariel is shouting abuse at him, as Marshall Gates comes back into the ring, and kicks Azariel in the gut, AND HITS THE GATES OF HELL ON AZARIEL!! Marshall Gates slides out of the ring but before he moves the table a little. Ender and Sam Hain slowly get to their feet, and Ender quickly gains the advantage with a couple of kicks to the gut, and whips him into the turnbuckle. Ender puts Hain on the top rope and climbs up over Hain, and starts beating down on him with some hard rights, but Marshall Gates climbs onto the apron, with a chair!! He stands on the second rope, AND CLOCKS ENDER WITH THE STEEL CHAIR!! Hain takes advantage and before Ender falls, he hooks him up for a powerbomb, AND DIVES OFF HITTING A POWERBOMB THROUGH THE TABLE!! Marshall Gates and Sam Hain retain!!

Maura Downs: Gates and Hain steal one!! Gates wasn't even in the match, and should have left the ring, but there are no rules, and Hain and Gates walk away with the tag titles. Louis Carvanelie: What a battle Maura, but remember, Azariel asserted himself into the match as well, so it wasn't all Gates!! Maura Downs: But up next, we have the Iron Fist match.. This should be interesting.

IRON FIST CHAIN MATCH TORNADO VS MYSTERY OPPONENT

'The Worlds Greatest' hits the PA system, and out walks Tornado looking very happy with himself. He makes his way slowly down to the ring, taking time to swear at the crowd and insult them, as he climbs the steps and steps over the top rope. He snatches a microphone.

Maura Downs: Up next is the Iron Fist Chain match. I don't know what the rules are, or who Tornados mystery opponent is... Louis Carvanelie: That's because you can't do your job properly. I know exactly who Tornados opponent is and what this match entails... Maura Downs: And that would be... Louis Carvanelie: That would be spoiling the surprise Maura. Maura Downs: Yeah right...

Tornado: I'm all set for my... what is it called?... Iron Fist Chain match with... ah, a mystery opponent. Now, I'm well aware that there was no way I could have scouted my opponent, or prepared for this match, considering I don't know who my opponent is, or what this match is. What I do know is, I don't have to have scouted my opponent, and I don't have to have been ready for this match, because it doesn't matter what I have to do, or who I have to face, I will walk away with the victory. I know that Dave Chain and Jayson Keller (Tornado laughs) have a huge problem with me and that may be because (Tornado turns serious) They Can't Control Me!! No puny little referee is going to stand in my way, and no owner or Commisioner is going to tell me what to do. I'm going to run wild in the EWA, and people are going to take me seriously. So Chain, Keller, bring on your best man. Give me Christian Cage, give me Malinko, give me Steele, give me Butcher. It doesn't matter who it is. And make whatever rules up for this match you want, because I'm going to destroy my opponent tonight, and then when I'm giving the US Championship match I earnt myself last week, I'll take that title. And next week, when Hank Williams takes on Christian Cage, he'll beat a legend in the EWA, and become the World Of Pain champion. Now come on Chain, get your ass out of here and tell me who I'm going to be wrestling!

Maura Downs: Tornado is sure one cocky son of a bitch isn't he? Louis Carvanelie: Why shouldn't he be. He's one big son of a bitch too. Maura Downs: I wonder who his opponent is going to be?

'Go To Sleep' hits the PA system and Dave Chain walks out onto the stage with a microphone. Tornado is grinning in the ring, and beckoning Dave Chain foward, but Dave Chain stands his ground.

Dave Chain: You know Tornado, you do annoy me, and not because you have a problem with authority, but because you are a loud, obnoxious, cocky son of a bitch! And yet, you have no reason to be. You have not won any titles here. You have not done anything of note here. Let's face it Tornado, nobody takes you seriously, because you ARE a loser! (Tornado is enraged in the ring and kicking the ropes, beckoning Dave Chain into the ring)

Tornado: Oh you think so do you Chain? Well, let me tell you something, how about I walk up that ramp, and show you exactly what a joke I really am!

Tornado drops the mic and slides out of the ring, but Dave Chain puts a hand up...

Dave Chain: Woah, woah, WOAH! Tornado, let me first explain your match before I introduce your opponent. Take a look back in the ring. Something is being lowered above the ring. Take a look at the light shining on it for a second, and let your small mind work. Yes, that's right Tornado, they are brass knuckles. The object is simple. There are no rules. The man who climbs a ladder and grabs those brass knuckles, is allowed to use them on his opponent. You can only win via pinfall.

Tornado (Now stepping closer to Dave Chain): And what makes you think I'm even going to bother with those brass knuckles. I could just beat the hell out of my opponent. I don't need brass knuckles to hurt anybody, I can do it with my bare fists. But I might just get those brass knuckles for later. So Chain, who is my opponent?

Dave Chain: ME!!

Dave Chain slips his hand from his pocket and sucker punches Tornado, AND ON HIS HANDS IS BRASS KNUCKS!!

Maura Downs: Oh my god, Dave Chain has just tricked Tornado! Louis Carvanelie: Dave Chain didn't say they couldn't use other brass knucks, and there are no rules in this match-up!

Dave Chain: Oh and Tornado... This match is... FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE!! MONKEYS, RAISE THE BRASS KNUCKS!!

Maura Downs: What!? Those brass knuckles aren't even going to be used!? Louis Carvanelie: I told you Maura, something is seriously wrong with this Dave Chain guy!

Dave Chain ushers a referee out to the stage and covers Tornado. 1........2.......HANK WILLIAMS APPEARS FROM NO-WHERE AND BREAKS UP THE COUNT!! Hank drags Dave Chain to his feet and slides him up onto his shoulders, AND HITS A FALCON ARROW ONTO THE STAGE!! Dave Chains head just got slammed into the stage!! Tornado is now getting to his feet and he looks angry, as he hoists up Chain, AND HITS THE TORNADO RIDE ONTO THE STEEL STAGE!! Dave Chain is unconcious and Tornado and Hank Williams stand above his lifeless body!!

Maura Downs: WHAT DID DAVE CHAIN GET HIMSELF INTO!! Louis Carvanelie: He's just been decimated by Tornado and Hank Williams, and it was all his own doing. Maura Downs: He put his body on the line, and paid the price. And now Tornado has a cocky cover on the Commish!

The ref makes the count... 1......2.....3!! Tornado picks up the victory!

Maura Downs: Can anyone stop Tornado and Hank Williams!!? Louis Carvanelie: They've screwed with the EWA once more, and both men have a title shot next week!

TV TITLE FINALE TOMMY PURR (C) VS BEAN

Maura Downs: This is Beans final shot at the TV title, and if he doesn't win tonight, he's fired. Louis Carvanelie: It's all on the line in this match, will Bean become the new TV Champion!? Maura Downs: Tommy Purr and Bean have had problems with eachother ever since Bean stepped foot in the EWA, and it's all coming to an end TONIGHT! Louis Carvanelie: And here comes Bean!

Bean makes his way down to the ring, and the fans boo the hell out of him. It doesn't seem to effect Bean who makes his way to the ring, and slides under the bottom rope. Purrs music now hits the arena and Purr runs down to the ring, sliding under the bottom rope and under Beans outstretched hands, before getting to his feet and hitting the ropes, before coming back with a clothsline. Bean goes down and gets back up, into a right hand, as Bean goes down again, and back up into a dropkick. Purr whips Bean across the ring, but Bean hangs onto the ropes and slides under the bottom rope and to the outside to regain his composure. Purr slides under the ring beside him and knocks him foward, before knocking him to the mat, and dragging him back to his feet and knocking him back down with a fierce right hand. Purr drags Bean to his feet again but Bean rakes the eyes, slams Purrs face against the apron, and whips him into the steel steps. He slides into the ring, breaking up the count, and slides back out stalking Purr, before driving him straight into the steps!! He rolls Purr into the ring and rolls in with him, before hooking the leg, and using the ropes for leverage. The ref spots this and orders him to get his feet off the ropes.

Maura Downs: Bean is determined not to lose this match, and he'll gain the victory any way he can. Louis Carvanelie: Wouldn't you if your job was on the line?!?

Bean drags Purr to his feet, and irish whips him into the turnbuckle, and running foward, but Purr gets the boot up, but Bean grabs his foot, and throws it down, before hitting a clothsline. Bean whips Purr into the ropes and runs foward, but Purr evades the spear attack in the corner rolling through the middle rope and onto the apron and Bean goes straight into the ring post. Bean pulls himself out and Purr grabs a hold of the top rope, before swinging his feet into the ring and kicking Beans legs away from him and jumping up onto the second rope, and hitting a legdrop. Bean gets to his feet, and Purr hits a few forearms, and whips him into the corner, and runs foward this time, but Bean dives over and rolls Purr up but Purr kicks out. Purr and Bean get to their feet and trade punches, until Bean gets the upper hand, and pulls Purr into a pump handle slam, but Purr falls off the shoulders, and hits a backdrop with an elbow on the way down for the ricochet. He covers Bean. 1....2....(Bean kicks out) Purr whips Bean into the ropes and ducks down as Bean jumps over him, and then ducks a right hand, and Purr hits the ropes, looking for a springboard back elbow, but rolls to his feet, and instead looks for a clothsline, but Bean ducks it, and hits a spinning heel kick on Purr. Purr goes down and Bean hooks the leg. 1......2.....(Purr kicks out)

Maura Downs: Back and forth action here, and lets just remind you, if Bean loses, he's fired. Louis Carvanelie: EWA staff heads believe Bean isn't putting in any effort, and this is his final chance. Become a champion, or leave the EWA. Maura Downs: Thats the choice he's been given, but even if he does put in a consertive effort, will he be able to top Purr?

Purr gets to his feet, and Bean shoots him into the ropes, and misses another right hand, as Purr looks for a springboard dropkick and hits it, knocking Bean down. He then hits the ropes and looks for a lionsault, but Bean rolls out of the way, and Purr lands on his feet, and runs foward into a flapjack, turned into a Regal Stretch like move. Purr reaches out for the ropes, but is just a little short. Pain etched onto his face, he reaches out further, all the while shaking his finger saying no as the referee continues to ask if he wants to quit. He pulls himself a little further, and grabs the bottom rope. Bean lets go of the bottom rope and gets to his feet, stomping down on the weakened Purr. Tommy Purr is down and tries to pull himself up using the ropes, but Bean is constantly pushing him with stiff kicks, and then whips him into the ropes, but Purr shoots back with a lou thesz press, but rolls off, and nips to his feet, as Bean gets up, and straight into an armdrag, followed by a mexican armbar and headlock, as Bean makes his way to his feet, but Purr turns it around into a neckbreaker, headlock takedown variation.

Maura Downs: Unique neckbreaker by Tommy Purr there, and Bean is in trouble.

Bean gets to his feet slowly and Purr just stares at him, and beckons him foward. Angrily, Bean runs foward, straight into the set-up, as Purr drop toe holds him onto the ropes. The crowd know whats coming as they all rise to their feet in antipation and Purr hits the ropes, BUT MISSES THE 619!! Bean caught Purr on his way around, and hoists Purr onto his shoulder, but Purr slides off and chopblocks Bean who falls onto the second rope again. Purr hits the ropes, and HITS THE 619 this time!! Bean falls into the ring, and Purr jumps onto the apron, he dives off, looking for the Tommy Knocker, but Bean rolls out of the way. Tommy goes off the ropes, and ducks a right from Bean, and puts him in a headlock, but turns it into the Signed, Sealed and Delivered!!

Maura Downs: Tommy Purr on fire right now, and back onto the apron. Louis Carvanelie: TOMMYKNOCKER!! TOMMYKNOCKER!!! 1.....2....3!!! Maura Downs: THIS IS TOMMY PURRS FINAL MATCH IN THE EWA, AND TOMMY PURR SUCCESSFULLY DEFENDS HIS TITLE!!

THE BUTCHER

The Butcher is in his ring attire, ready for the match, with the championship belt slung over his shoulder. He starts walking down to the curtain, and passes by the parking lot. He pulls out a slip of paper that reads, 'Meet me in the Parking lot before your match'. An EWA ring crew member walks up to Butcher, curiously, as Butcher has a look on intense anger on his face.

EWA Crew member: What's going on Butcher?

The Butcher: I've got this note from someone to meet me here. I'm pretty sure it's the guy who has been trying to get me for a long time, and if he's here, I want to meet him. I've got someone a couple of people who want to greet him.

Butcher holds up both his clenched fists.

EWA Crew Member: But what if it's another trap?

The Butcher: Take whatever comes, as it comes...

Just at that moment, a car screeches into the parking lot, and runs straight at Butcher and the crew member, who both dive out of the way. Butcher gets to his feet, and looks if possible, even angrier than before.

The Butcher: He knew I was going to be alert. If he wanted to run me down, he wouldn't have sent this note. That guy is insane, but I'm going to find out just who the hell he is, but right now. Business. I'm insanely pissed off, and someone is going to have to pay!

Butcher moves off...

Maura Downs: Another attempt on Butcher, but if Butcher is right, what the hell is the guy after? Louis Carvanelie: Is he just trying to scare Butcher? One week he's trying to kill him, the next he's trying to scare him. What's his deal? Maura Downs: Unless he was trying to really run him over. I don't know, this situation is really confusing.

5 MAN TAG: HANDICAP THE BUTCHER AND JOHN STEELE VS MALINKO, CHRISTIAN CAGE AND NUCLEAR CAPE

Maura Downs: And what a main event we have for you tonight! Louis Carvanelie: Just check out the names in this main event Maura, Butcher, Steele, Malinko, Cage and Nuclear Cape! Maura Downs: And there are no friends in this match-up, but rather these men have been forced together. Louis Carvanelie: Malinkos will be teaming with long term rival Christian Cage, and Nuclear Cape, whose head he drove into the mat last week, to wrestle against Steele, whose head was also driven into the mat at the hands of Malinko, and The Butcher, the man who is responsible for Malinko not having the championship right now. Maura Downs: Steele is going to be looking for revenge on Malinko, and Cape on Steele!! This match is a bomb waiting to go off Louis! Louis Carvanelie: But with the card stacked against the Butcher and Steele, can Malinko, Cage and Cape get along!

All five men are in the ring and the referee is explaining the rules, and then tries to get two men remaining in the ring. All five men are keeping a close eye on eachother as Butcher hands the title to the referee, and Steele steps out onto the apron. Malinko tells Cage and Cape to get out of the ring, but Cage doesn't take that too lightly, and tells Malinko he should be the one to get out of the ring, he wants first shot at the champion. Malinko pushes Cage into the corner, and Cage fires back with an equally hard push, until the referee stands in the way of a possible confrontation, and ushers Cage out of the ring. Cage doesn't like it, but steps to the outside anyway.

Maura Downs: Christian Cage and Malinko already arguing and if they don't get along, this match could fall to pieces right before their eyes. Louis Carvanelie: There's no reason they should get along, they never asked to be put into this match together.

Malinko moves foward and shows no intimidation to Butcher, and Butcher no intimidation towards Malinko.

Maura Downs: This is like a main-event right before our very eyes Louis!! Louis Carvanelie: You've got to believe Malinko has been waiting for this day ever since he lost the Universal Championship to Butcher. Maura Downs: And you can just see the tension between these two superstars, who have a genuine hatred for one another, and now they are locked up in an intense collar-elbow lock-up...

Butcher and Malinko battle for a bit in the lock-up, until Malinko pushes Butcher away into his corner. Butcher looks taken aback at Malinkos new-found strength, and Malinko smirks a little, before moving into another lock-up. Again, Malinko gets the upper hand, and pushes Butcher away. He smirks again, and Butcher immediately goes for another lock-up, and this time, Butcher pushes Malinko back and Malinko looks pissed, as he fires foward with a right hand, but Butcher ducks the right hand, and hits the ropes coming back with a flying forearm, knocking Malinko back into the ropes, and then armdragging him across the ring. Malinko gets to his feet and walks into a short-arm clothsline, as Butcher pulls Malinko to his feet, and whips him into his corner. Malinko moves out of the corner and Butcher snapmares him down, and utilizes a standing crossface move on Malinko. Malinko shouts his pain, as the referee asks him if he wants to quit. Nuclear Cape rushes into the ring and Butcher releases the hold in time to duck a right hand by Cape, and then hit a Ultimo Dragon style reverse DDT!! He turns around into a straight kick to the jaw from Malinko, and then some stiff stomps while he's down.

Maura Downs: Malinko has more power in those feet since his return and he's really putting the boots to the Universal Champion. Louis Carvanelie: Butcher was taken back by that straight kick and Malinko is taking full advantage. Maura Downs: A double underhook DDT hit on the Universal Champion! Malinko is going to pick apart Butcher bit by bit. Louis Carvanelie: And don't forget, Butcher may still not be a hundred percent from his gruesome match at Retribution!

Malinko drops a leg across the back of Butchers neck and rolls him over, hooking the leg. 1.....2....(Butcher kicks out) Malinko drags Butcher to his feet, and hits a throat thrust, and then whips Butcher into his corner. He runs into the corner with a back elbow, as Nuclear Cape and Christian Cage hold Butcher into the corner. The referee steps foward to stop them but they release the hold and look innocently on, as Malinko hits a bulldog onto Butcher. Christian Cage whispers something to Nuclear Cape and Cape climbs off the apron and makes his way around the ring. Steele spots him and jumps off to greet him as the two men stare eachother out. The ref spots that something could happen between the two men and quickly jumps from the ring, and gets in between the two men. Meanwhile, Christian Cage jumps into the ring, and Malinko drags Butcher to his feet, as Malinko holds Butcher, and Cage with a stiff kick to the chest, followed by a German Suplex from Malinko. Malinko hooks the leg as Christian Cage takes up his position on the apron, and Nuclear Cape steps away from John Steele with a smirk, as the referee slides back into the ring and makes the count, but he took too long, and Butcher kicks out before two!

Maura Downs: Nice veteran tactics there, however dirty they are. Drag the refs attention away, and double team your opponent. Louis Carvanelie: A time honoured tradition in wrestling, and never fails. Maura Downs: And Butcher is in trouble if Malinko, Cape and Cage continue to isolate the champion.

Butcher gets to his feet and Malinko goes for a right, but Butcher blocks it, and hits a straight armbar takedown, and crawls his way across the ring, as Steele is determined to get into the match, but Christian Cage shoots across the ring, and knocks Steele off the apron, as Butcher finds himself with no-one to tag, and the referee pre-occupied with Cage. Malinko gets up and drags Butcher back to his corner, as Cage moves away and gives Butcher a couple of stomps before climbing back onto the apron. Malinko throws Butcher into his corner and hits a knife edge chop. Butcher is bent double for a second, but Malinko uppercuts him and then hits a knife edge chop again. He goes for another, but then Butcher begins to fight back with some right hands, and then throws back elbows, catching Cage and Nuclear Cape, and going for a right hand, but Cage stops him, and the distraction allows Malinko to get the advantage again, firing with a kick to the ribs, and driving Butcher into the turnbuckle with his shoulder thrust. A couple more shoulder thrusts and Butcher collapses down further as Malinko begins stomping down on Butcher. Cage jumps into the ring and draws in Steele and the referee is yet again distracted, as Cape drops down to the floor, and drags Butchers arms back, allowing Malinko to stomp down harder on Butchers free ribs. Cape quickly jumps back onto the apron once the situation is defused a little, and the referee turns back to the action.

Maura Downs: Butcher and Steele are in serious trouble, as Cape, Malinko and Cage are working as a cohesive unit! Louis Carvanelie: It looked as if there might have been problems within the team, but so far they've managed to do a good job of isolating Butcher. Maura Downs: And look at that Stalling Fishermans Suplex from Malinko!!

Butcher is down and Malinko mocks him with a kick to the side of the head, and then grabs Butchers ankle...

Maura Downs: Butcher has been utilizing the ankle lock as of late Louis, and it looks as if Malinko is going to apply the same hold!! Louis Carvanelie: And he has, and Malinko could just snap the Butchers ankle right there! Maura Downs: And look at Butcher, he's ready to tap!!

Butcher raises his arm as if to tap, but at the last moment, twists around and pulls Malinko down, and then quickly locks in the ankle lock!! Butcher yanks on the ankle, but in a second, Nuclear Cape clothslines Butcher from behind, forcing him to break the hold. Butcher goes down, and Malinko gets to his feet, despite the pain in his ankle. He pulls Butcher up and Butcher fights back with some elbows to the ribs, but Malinko pulls him foward, and hits a powerbomb on Butcher. The Butcher is down, and Malinko covers. 1.......2.....(Butcher just kicks out) Malinko once again picks up Butchers leg, and tries to lock in the ankle lock, but Butcher kicks him back into the turnbuckle, and quickly crawls across for the tag... but Cape rushes into the ring, and Butcher makes the tag. Steele quickly gets in the ring and knocks Malinko down, and then dropkicks Cape over the top rope, before ducking a clothsline by Christian Cage, and hitting a variation of a snapmare and jawbreaker. He turns and the referee is in his face. He never saw the tag. Malinko and Cage drag Butcher back to their corner, but Butcher gets to his feet, and starts to fight off the attacks with a furious right hand to Malinko, a clothsline to Cage, and then blocks a punch from Malinko and hits a Capture suplex!! He quickly jumps over and makes the tag... Steele climbs in the ring, and hits a right hand on Malinko knocking him down, and then one on Cage, and then Cape climbs up onto the apron, only to get knocked down by Steele. Steele turns around and blocks a right from Malinko and whips him into the turnbuckle, and then whips Cage into Butcher, who throws him high over his shoulders for a high back drop. Cage crashes down to the mat, and Butcher hits the ropes, before hitting a suicide dive through the ropes, taking out Nuclear Cape.

Maura Downs: This match has disintegrated right here. Louis Carvanelie: Steele has taken advantage in the ring and Butcher and Nuclear Cape are down on the outside.

Malinko comes back into a scoop slam from Steele who turns into a fallaway slam from Cage. Malinko and Cage now stomp down on Steele, as Cage gets to the apron and officially makes the tag. Butcher is on the outside, and Steele is trading punches with Cage, who gets the upper hand. He sweeps Steele on his feet, as Butcher HITS A BUTCHERS BLADE ONTO THE RING POST!! Nuclear Cape is unconcious on the outside, as Cage has Steele locked in the Sharpshooter!! Steele is about to tap as Butcher quickly slides into the ring, narrowly avoids Malinko, and breaks up the hold, before taking his place on the apron. Steele quickly makes the tag as Butcher jumps into the ring and ducks a right hand from Malinko and jumps for a clothsline, but instead hits Cage as Malinko ducks. He turns and Malinko kicks him in the midsection, but Butcher hits a double leg take down, and kicks Malinko out of the ring. He turns into Cage, and scoops him up onto his shoulders... He's going for the Butchers Blade!! He goes for it, BUT CAGE REVERSES INTO A DDT!! Malinko has grabbed a steel chair though, and slides into the ring... as Steele climbs into the ring and the referee is distracted... Butcher gets to his feet, and Malinko swings with the chair.... AND CRACKS CHRISTIAN CAGE ACROSS THE HEAD!! Steele jumps into the ring and quickly clothslines Malinko over the top rope, as Butcher covers Christian Cage. 1........2........3!!! Butcher and Steele have done it!!

Maura Downs: Butcher and Steele have pulled a tremendous upset!! Louis Carvanelie: Christian Cage isn't going to be happy with the way that victory went about though Maura, and look at this, Malinko is back in the ring, with the steel chair... He's going for Steele, but Steele quickly escapes under the bottom rope!!

Steele looks in the ring, as Butcher gets to his feet, AND TAKES A DEVASTATING SHOT TO THE SKULL WITH THE STEEL CHAIR!! Steele just laughs, watching the assault from the outside.

Maura Downs: What the hell is this!? Butcher is getting his brains scrambled by Malinko, and Steele isn't helping out his partner. Louis Carvanelie: Butcher has been busted open and is now getting the hell beaten out of him by Malinko, and look at Christian Cage, he's getting to his feet. Maura Downs: Why is Steele just watching this assault? Louis Carvanelie: The match is over Maura, Butcher is no longer his partner.

Cage swipes the chair away from Malinko, and the two start arguing furiously... Cage lifts the chair up as if to hit Malinko, BUT TURNS AT THE LAST MOMENT AND CRACKS BUTCHER ACROSS THE SKULL AS HE GETS TO HIS FEET!! Christian Cage then proceeds to beat down on every part of Butcher he can!! Butchers face is covered in blood, as Christian Cage stares down Malinko, and throws the chair to the side, and leaves the ring walking backwards and looking up at the ring.

Maura Downs: This is insane!! Butcher has just been beaten to a bloody pulp and the match is over!! Louis Carvanelie: We knew Butcher had enemies but this is freaking ridiculous!! Maura Downs: Malinko, Steele, Cage... All taking shots at Butcher... either verbally or mentally Louis! Louis Carvanelie: Steele doing nothing speaks far louder than any actions Maura. He doesn't like Butcher either. Maura Downs: I've just thought of something... The mysterious attacker could be any one of these men!!

Malinko is looking on at Christian Cage, a confused look on his face, as he doesn't see Steele slide into the ring. Steele taps him on his shoulder, and Malinko turns into a right hand!! They trade shots and Steele takes Malinko down, and they roll to the outside, before brawling into the crowd and out of sight... Butcher is in the ring getting helped out by EMTs, yet trying to push them all away. He slides out of the ring covered in blood, and refuses help, stumbling more often that walking properly.

THE END OF THE BUTCHERS ERA?

Christian Cage has his World Of Pain Championship slung over his shoulder and Buck Barlow rushes up to him, and in short breaths, manages to catch his attention...

Buck Barlow: Christian Cage, do you have any comments on what just went on in the ring?

Christian Cage goes to answer the question, as his attention is brought to the monitor nearby... Butchers limo has started up, and begins to drive off as it drives off, THEN EXPLODES!!! A massive explosion hits the car, and the camera fizzes out. Tsunami ends on the shocked expressions on Christian Cages and Buck Barlows faces.
