Cruz: The following contest is your main event of the evening. And it is a Triple Threat Ladder Match for the FGA Championship!
(Cheers and applause can be heard throughout the crowd as a shot of the belt hanging up in the air is shown)
The classic beginning notes of "Ride of the Valkyries" plays over the PA as the fans in attendance know who is about to grace them with their presence. Out through the curtain steps Preston Blake, sporting his Harvard letterman jacket. He looks as dashing and smashing as ever as he makes his way down to the ring. Preston stops halfway down the aisle and surveys the filthy animals that call themselves fans in the crowd. He turns his nose up as he tries to stop from vomiting at the sight of them.
Cruz: Introducing first, from The Hamptons.... Weighing in at 218 pounds.... PRESTON BLAKE!
He continues his walk down the aisle, bypassing the ladder and keeping his arms away from the dirty and disgusting slobs that reach over the guard rail to grab at him. After walking up the steps, he wipes his feet off on the apron. Preston gets in the ring himself, springboards onto the second rope and raises an index finger in the air, letting the crowd know who truly is number one.
Clement: Preston Blake arguably has the most momentum going into this match. He's beaten Ryan Kidd. He's beaten A.J. Fairchild twice. They may not want to admit it. But apart of Kidd and Fairchild has to wonder if they can beat Preston.
Grayson: Maybe. But they don't have to worry about being pinned or made to submit. This is a Ladder Match. Anything goes. Anything can happen.
The lights in the arena dies down as the crowd in the arena screams in anticipation. “In Due Time“ by Killswitch Engage suddenly explodes through the PA system in sync to the pulsation of red lights. We then suddenly see the entrance way being engulf with smoke. Amidst the smoke, we see a figure as the song blasts throughout the airwaves. After several seconds while the smoke starts to clear, the figure materializes and is revealed to be Ryan Kidd.
Cruz: Making his way to the ring… Weighing in at TWO HUNDRED and FIFTEEN POUNDS… From Long Beach, California… The SoCal Superstar… RYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNN… KIDD!!
Kidd doesn't dance or shake hands with the fans. He keeps his eyes set on the ring. Kidd makes his way down the aisle. He stops and observes the ladder. He then jumps onto the apron and slingshots himself into the ring.
Clement: Ryan Kidd has come so close, only to come up short so many times. We saw it at Fear Itself. We saw it at Final Frontier. Will we see it again here tonight?
Grayson: Oh yes we will. And thankfully it will be the last time, since Ryan was dumb enough to put his FGA contract on the line.
Clement: Ryan Kidd stated over Twitter that if he lost this match, he'd willingly walk away from FGA. With the unpredictable factor being high for this one, that may prove to be a mistake.
"The Greatest Man That Ever Lived" by Weezer plays over the venue's sound system, and emerging from the back stage area is A.J. Fairchild. The lights in the venue go off, and a spot light follows A.J. as he walks down to the ring. The fans are booing avidly as Fairchild takes his time walking down the entrance ramp. He makes his way down to the ring slowly, his eyes set on the ladder.
Cruz: And their opponent, now residing out on Manhattan, New York.... weighing in at 190 pounds..... he is the reigning.... defending.... FGA Champion..... A.......J..... FAIRCHILD!
Grayson: And here comes the champ!
The loyal fans seated along the entrance ramp area, make the bowing down motion as A.J. strolls pass them. Nearing the end of the exit ramp, A.J. lifts a fist into the air, pumping it a couple of times before darting towards the ring apron. Hopping onto the ring apron, A.J. wipes his boots on the mat, and turns to look at all of the fans in attendance, with a small smirk on his face he grabs the ring ropes and lunges himself over and into the ring.
A.J. then takes his belt and thrust it high in the air, walking around all four corners of the ring repeatedly.
Clement: A.J. Fairchild not getting the warmest of welcomes, even in his adopted hometown. A.J. Fairchild, regardless of his behavior over the past two months, has that big match experience. He has been clutch, winning the 2012 New Frontier Cup and the FGA Heavyweight Championship.
Grayson: A.J. is at a disadvantage. It's two against one. He doesn't have to be pinned or made to submit to lose his belt. But I don't think that's going to happen. Somehow, someway, A.J. will find a way to talk out STILL the FGA Champion.
The bell sounds as all three men begin to circle the ring. Just then, Preston stops moving. He then points to Fairchild. Once he gets Fairchild's attention, Preston begins to motion for both him and Fairchild to attack Kidd. Fairchild looks back at Kidd, then back at Preston. Fairchild smirks as the two begin to inch slowly towards Kidd. The crowd boos.
Clement: I don't like this for Kidd. I don't like this at all.
The two begin to slowly creep up on Kidd from both sides as Kidd inadvertently backs himself into the corner. Just then, Preston grabs Fairchild from behind, runs and tosses him over the top rope and to the floor. The crowd responds with a mixed reaction.

As Kidd is about 12 rungs up, he reaches up. But the belt is just out of his range. Fairchild then climbs the ladder as fast as he can. Kidd goes to reaches the belt with his right hand. But Fairchild reaches up and grabs his right wrist. As the two struggle, Kidd then reaches up with his left hand to grabs the belt. This time, Fairchild grabs Kidd's left wrist. As the two struggle, Kidd lunges forward and nails Fairchild in the face with a headbutt, breaking his grip on Kidd. Now free, Kidd reaches up and grabs the title to cheers from the crowd. But before Kidd can pull it off the ring, Fairchild lunges up and rakes him across the eyes.

Clement: Everyone's down! How can they even walk after that?
All three men are down. But not for long as Preston begins to move around on the canvas. He clutches his tail bone as he crawls with one arm towards the ropes. Once he reaches the ropes, he uses all three levels of ropes to pull himself back up to his feet. He then begins to slowly limp across the ring. After gingerly reaching down and picking up the ladder, Preston secures it before standing it up. He then begins to slowly climb up the ladder to boos from the crowd.
Grayson: We could be looking at our new champion, Kev.
While Preston is about six rungs up the ladder, Fairchild slowly gets back up to his feet. He then limps over and begins climbing up the same side of the ladder that Preston's on.
Fairchild tries to grab a hold of Preston's ankle, but Preston shakes free of Fairchild's loose grip and then kicks him in the head. Preston tries to climb up some more rungs. But Fairchild reaches up and grabs his ankle, slowing him down. Now about five rungs apart, Fairchild reaches up and low blows Preston. After climbing up some more, Fairchild is now on Preston's back. He then jumps off the ladder, grabs Preston in mid air and brings him down with a backstabber off the ladder. Cheers and applause can be heard throughout the crowd.
Clement: What a move off the ladder! Preston's back may be snapped in two!
Preston is down while Fairchild grabs his legs in pain. Meanwhile, Kidd slowly rolls to the outside. He reaches underneath the ring and pulls out a table to cheers from the crowd. After setting up the table on the outside, Kidd reaches underneath the ring.... and pulls out another table to even louder cheers.
Grayson: What is he doing?
After setting up the second table, Kidd carefully lifts it up and stacks it on top of the other ladder.
Grayson: Oh no....
As soon as Kidd gets in the ring, he goes over and picks up Preston. After kicking him in the midsection, he lifts Preston over across one shoulder. He then turns, charges forward and throws Preston off his shoulder and to the outside, delivering a single shoulder powerbomb through the two tables on the outside.
Grayson: Preston!
Crowd: FGA! FGA! FGA! FGA! FGA!
Clement: Powerbomb through the tables! Preston Blake just got powerbombed through both tables. And his body looks to be a mangled mess!
Kidd then goes over, picks up the ladder, closes it and leans it up against the corner. He then goes over to Fairchild, hoists him up onto his shoulders, runs and buckle bombs him into the ladder. The crowd cheers. After Fairchild collapses to his knees, Kidd nails him with a series of buzzsaw kicks using his right and left legs. Kidd then steps back and blasts Fairchild with the Sudden Impact, knocking him down. Kidd then points up to the title. The crowd cheers.
Grayson No, no, no, no, no....
Clement: It's all over but the crying, Evan.
Kidd takes the ladder, brings it back towards the center of the ring and looks up. After seeing that he's somewhat in line, Kidd opens up the ladder, stands it up and begins to climb to cheers from the crowd.
Clement: And there goes Kidd up the ladder!
Grayson: Slip! Fall! Please!
Kidd is about halfway up the ladder. He looks down below him. Fairchild is still down and Preston is still down amongst the debris. He then looks back up as he continues climbing. The crowd cheers. Once Kidd reaches the fourth to last rung from the top, he smiles as he reaches up and grabs the ladder. Just then, the lights go out.
Grayson: What the? Where did everybody go?
Clement: What's going on here?
Grayson: I don't know.
Clement: What the....?
When the lights come back on, The Murder are on the opposite side of the ladder. They hammer away with clubbing shots to boos from the crowd.
Clement: The Murder! What are The Murder doing out here!?
But the boos turn to cheers as Kidd knocks then off the ladder one by one. As Kidd climbs up three more rungs, he reaches up to grab the belt. But Malcolm Drake gets up, runs over and shoves over the ladder, sending Kidd falling off the ladder. Kidd then bounces off the ropes before landing hard on the canvas. The crowd boos as both Drake and Harter put the boots to Kidd. They then each pick up the two steel chairs from behind and hammer away on Kidd, delivering vicious chairshot after chairshot to his prone body. They then throw the chairs to the outside as they look on, proud over what they just did.
Clement: Those damn Murder struck again!
Grayson: Thank God
The boos turn to cheers as Pat Gordon, Jr, Bob Pooler and Johnny Blayze rush down to the ring. Seeing that they're outnumbered, The Murders slip through the ropes and jump the barricade. They then taunt the threesome as they stare them down from the opposite side of the barricade.
Back in the ring, Fairchild slowly pull himself up. After limping across the ring, he picks up the ladder and stands it up. He then begins to climb the ladder. On the outside, Preston is still down. And Gordon jr, Pooler and Blayze have hopped the barricade to try and find The Murder, who appear to be out of sight at this point. Back in the ring, Fairchild continues his ascent up the ladder. He looks around and smiles, seeing that there's no one top stop him. The crowd boos. But Fairchild just chuckles at the hecklers as he reaches up.... and snatches his championship belt. The bell sounds as the crowd boos.
Cruz: here is your winner and STILL FGA Champion, A.J. FAIRCHILD!
Clement: Damn! Not like this. Not like this!
Grayson: He's done it. A.J. retains! A.J. retains! And Ryan Kidd.... is HISTORY! What a night!
Clement: It was highway robbery, that's what happened! Ryan Kidd had this damn match won and he got screwed yet again. This time by that damn Murder!
