"Getting Away With Murder" by Papa Roach hits, and the lights around the entrance go out. When they come up, Michael Tomkins stands still wearing his black leather jacket with the words "3 Seconds" embroided on the back. Looking from left to right, an arrogant smile crosses his face in reception to the crowd's boos. He milks in the negative response, before heading down to the ring.
Clement: Alright, here we go! It's main event time, ladies and gentlemen! Coming down to the ring right now is the challenger, Michael Tomkins, who is looking to reclaim his crown here tonight.
Grayson: It wasn't that long ago that Tomkins had it all. The undefeated streak. The support of the fans. And most important, the FGA Heavyweight Championship. But Blaine took nearly all of that away. Tomkins doesn't need his undefeated streak. He doesn't want the support of the fans back. What he wants is what's rightfully his - the FGA Heavyweight Championship.
Timmy Brown then appears from behind the curtain, to an even more intense chorus of boos which he ignores, heading briskly to the ring. Michael climbs to the top rope, looking around the crowd before raising one arm, holding up three fingers. Taking in the moment, he closes his eyes, before jumping back down, ready to start his match.
Let's See Action" by The Who starts playing throughout the arena until Roger Daltrey's vocal booms forth as Blaine Harrison appears at the top of the aisle. Blaine poses with his right fist raised to the skies. Three seconds later and he's making his way down the aisle, slapping hands with the adoring fans before sliding in under the bottom rope; Blaine then raises his belt in the air as he waits for the match to begin.
Clement: And here is the current FGA Heavyweight Champion, Blaine Harrison! Blaine has been on quite the streak of his own. I can't even recall the last time he even lost a match.
Grayson: He may not have lost many matches recently. But he's certainly lost a lot of battles. Nearly every time that he and Tomkins were in the same ring, Tomkins left him laying on the ground. Tonight will be no different.
Clement: Alright, both of our wrestlers are in the ring. Now let's send it down to the ring where Manny Cruz is standing by to give the ring introductions...
(The bell sounds)
Cruz: The following contest is your main event of the evening. It is scheduled for one fall with a sixty minute time limit. And it is for the FGA Heavyweight Championship!
(Cheers and applause can be heard throughout the crowd)
Cruz: Introducing first, the challenger. From London, England.... Weighing in at 225 pounds. He is the "Chase for the Crown" tournament winner and a former FGA Heavyweight Champion. Ladies and gentlemen, he is "The Rogue" MICHAEL TOMKINS!
(The crowd responds with tremendous heel heat while Timmy pats Tomkins on the back.)
Cruz: And his opponent, now residing out of Santa Barbara, California.... Weighing in at 216 pounds. He is the reigning.... defending.... FGA Heavyweight Champion. Ladies and gentlemen, he is "Metal Heart" BLAINE HARRISON!
(The crowd responds with a monster pop as Blaine raises his championship belt in the air. He then looks down at the belt and kisses it before handing the belt over to the ref. The ref then takes the belt, walks over to Tomkins and shows it to him. He then walks towards the center of the ring and raises the belt high for the fans to see. The crowd cheers. The ref then hands the belt off to Manny Cruz on the outside and calls for the bell.)
Clement: Alright, and this match is now underway....

Clement: That's right, Blaine. Keep your eye out for him.
Grayson: What are you doing, coaching him now?
Clement: We both know that Timmy has a tendency to get himself involved in Tomkins' mathes. And I think everyone, including Blaine, knows that it'll only be a matter of time until Timmy tries some stunt here tonight.
He then turns back to Tomkins, who can be seen slowly pulling himself up using the barricade. After nailing Tomkins with a right hand to the face, Blaine grabs a hold of him and suplexes him over the barricade and back to ringside. The crowd cheers as Tomkins arches his back in pain.
