Strike 2 Kill vs. Illuminati PROJEKT

• S2K starts off strong by hitting Monty with a double hip toss, followed by a double back handspring into a double dropkick to the face for a two count. Watson & Richardson continue the tandem offense with stereo superkicks. They then hit Monty with an aided dropkick in the corner, followed by a spinebuster/blockbuster combo out of the corner for a two count.

• S2K continue to cut off the ring with a corkscrew neckbreaker by Watson onto Richardson's knee followed by a Backbreaker hold (Watson) / Diving knee drop (Richardson) combination for another two count. The Heroes for Hires members look for an aided Shooting Star Press, but Monty's able to get his knees up in time.

• While Richardson tends to a curled up Watson on the mat, Monty tries to crawl over towards the Illuminati PROJEKT corner. Gwen is dying for the hot tag, but Richardson is able to grab Monty by the ankle and drag him all the way back towards the center of the ring. Stomps to the back follow before he brings Monty over towards the S2K corner with a rolling fireman carry before hitting a springboard moonsault off the middle ropes. NO! Monty gets his knees up again! With both S2K members down, Gwen gets the crowd firmly on their side. They try to will Monty across the ring. After Monty's trek across the canvas, he rolls forward, dives over and makes the tag! NO! Watson grabs Gwen and yanks her down off the apron!

• Watson rolls back inside and puts the boots to Monty. After pulling Monty back to his feet, he hits the ropes and comes back for a handspring cutter, but Monty's able to counter with a superkick to the back of the head. Monty rolls forward, dives into the Illuminati PROJEKT corner and finally tags in Gwen.

• Gwen comes in like a house of fire and hits both S2K members with a pair of German Suplexes. She then sends Watson for the ride before delivering a Samoan Drop onto Richardson for a two count. She then brings the action into the corner and hits Richardson with multiple forearm strikes. He reverses an irish whip into the far corner, but Gwen's able to ricochet off the turnbuckles and knock him down with a spinning heel kick for a two count. Illuminati PROJEKT then deliver the Excellent Adventure (Reverse STO (Gwen) / jumping enzuigiri (Monty)) for a two count. Confyrmation (Low superkick (Gwen) / running knee smash (Monty)) gets another two count. Richardson is then dropped with The Truth is Out There (Uppercut to the back of the head (Monty) followed by swinging neckbreaker (Gwen)). They then set up for Area 51 (Wheelbarrow (Monty) into a codebreaker (Gwen)), but Richardson reverses with a wheelbarrow victory roll into a jumping double foot stomp to Monty. Watson then brings Gwen down with a Saito Suplex and a Sling Blade before dropping her with a Handspring Cutter. S2K then hits Gwen with Strikezone (Running arched big boot (Richardson) / Enzuigiri (Watson) combination to a cornered opponent) before finishing her off with The End of Days (Chasing the Dragon) for the three count.

Strike 2 Kill O || The End of Days (7:44) || Illuminati PROJEKT X

Post-match, S2K’s attention gets turned to the Video Tron, where they see the match graphic for Grapland, which shows them going two-on-two against a Mystery Tag Team.

[FGA Office]

The scene fades into the ring with a booing crowd as we see Ace Voltage standing in the middle of the ring holding a mic. He has his Pride Championship around his waist with jeans and a t-shirt on. Ace goes to bring the mic up to his mouth and the fans boo even louder.

“VOLTAGE SUCKS”
“VOLTAGE SUCKS”
“VOLTAGE SUCKS”

Ace laughs at the crowd as they are raining down boos.

Ace Voltage: You done yet, Huntsville? Should’ve known a crappy town like Huntsville would be rude.

The boos intensify.

Ace Voltage: So I know you all witnessed greatness last Vertigo as yours truly defeated Lowri Moss. I just beat the Undisputed champ with the greatest submission in professional wrestling in the main event of Vertigo. Is there any wrestler hotter than Ace Voltage right now? Don’t think so! Soon enough, you’ll be calling me Mr. FGA.

The crowd boos and we see some eye rolls from members of the crowd in the front row.

Ace Voltage: I came into FGA just a couple of years ago and I am already on top of the mountain. I am already the greatest Mid-Atlantic Legacy Champion of all time, on my way to becoming the greatest Pride Champion of all time, and now I’m just running through everyone in this damn company. I am truly untouchable!

Ace unhooks his Pride belt and holds it up.

Ace Voltage: You don’t become champion by accident. You don’t win match after match after match through flukes. And you sure as hell don’t beat the top wrestler in FGA by chance. See, I came here after a long layoff from wrestling. You all don’t know it, but I was a top wrestler before. I was the main event in Arizona, Mexico, Las Vegas and Australia. And now I get to prove it all over again.

Ace lays the Pride championship down on the mat beside him.

Ace Voltage: Beating Lowri in the middle of the ring, watching her pass out is just another stepping stone for my greatness. Maybe next time Lowri can check her ego in the back and actually put up a fight. But ya know, I don’t even hate Lowri. I don’t even dislike her. She’s more bearable than most of the other chumps in the back. But unfortunately for her, she just does not measure up to the Main Event, Ace Voltage…

Before Ace can say anything else, he is interrupted by the sound of “Loner Boogie” by Boy Azooga, much to the relief of the fans inside the Von Braun Center. Knowing full well whose music that is, they cheer in anticipation of the arrival of the FGA Undisputed Champion, and sure enough, Lowri Moss soon walks out through the curtains, which only causes the cheers to increase in volume. Dressed similarly to Ace, in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, she too is holding a microphone, although the Undisputed title is noticeably absent from her person. She motions for the music to be cut, and as she makes her way along the ramp, towards the ring, she gives her usual greeting to the crowd.

Lowri Moss: What’s occurring, Huntsville?

That of course elicits a cheap pop, the fans in Alabama being much more welcoming to Lowri than they were to Ace, after his earlier comment about their city. She then turns her focus to the Pride Champion.

Lowri Moss: Ace, I apologise for interrupting you, but I was just hanging around backstage, when all of a sudden my ears started burning.

Upon reaching ringside, Lowri climbs the steps up onto the apron, keeping her eyes on Ace as she steps through the ropes, into the ring.

Lowri Moss: Now I’m not out here looking to start an argument. In fact, I’m here to give credit where credit is due.

She smiles good-naturedly at the man now standing opposite her.

Lowri Moss: I think I’m right in saying that it was just under three years ago that you made your FGA debut, and since then, you’ve had an impressive rise up the ranks. You had a good reign as Mid-Atlantic Legacy Champion– not quite the greatest, but still a reign to be proud of, nevertheless, and definitely better than the one that I had with that particular title. You’ve also now held the Pride Championship for the better part of a year, and if you can get another couple of successful defences to your name, you may well go down as ‘the greatest Pride Champion of all-time.’ And I’m sure that isn’t the extent of your aspirations either– I’m sure you also have at least one eye on winning my title, the Undisputed title, especially after what happened in our match four weeks ago.

Lowri pauses monetarily to take a breath, before continuing.

Lowri Moss: Because you know, Ace, that if you want to be acknowledged as the top wrestler in FGA, if you truly want to be able to claim that you’re on top of the mountain around here, then the Undisputed title is the one that you need to win. I assume that’s your ultimate aim, just like it was for me, as I made my own rise up through FGA, and after that victory of yours last month in the champion versus champion match, I know there are people who think that you now deserve a shot at my title.

She gazes in the direction of the commentary table.

Lowri Moss: I’m sure Stephy over there would be one of those people.

Stephy Auger: Without question– in my eyes, Ace should already be the Undisputed Champion.

Lowri returns her attention back to Ace.

Lowri Moss: And you know what? I agree. I mean, if things were the other way round, and I had just defeated the Undisputed Champion in a non-title match on the previous episode of Vertigo, then I know I would probably feel like I now deserved a shot at their title. I certainly can’t think of anyone in FGA right now who deserves a shot at my title more than you, and so, Ace, I reckon that you and I ought to have ourselves a rematch.

She takes a step forward.

Lowri Moss: When I won the Undisputed title, I made it clear that I was ready to take on any and all would-be challengers, and like I just said, I believe that right now, you are at the head of the line, so in three days’ time, Ace, at Grapland, I think that we should have another match, Ace Voltage versus Lowri Moss once more, only this time, it should be for the FGA Undisputed Championship.

The crowd buzzes in anticipation of that prospective match, despite their feelings towards the current Pride Champion. The camera pans into the face of Ace Voltage, who is wearing a big smile on his face.

Ace Voltage: You know, Lowri, I actually agree with everything you said. Nobody is more deserving of an Undisputed Championship shot than Ace Voltage. Winning that title will prove to all these chumps in Huntsville that I am the top of the mountain, that I am the BEST in FGA.

Ace starts walking in a circle around Lowri.

Ace Voltage: I do admire you, Lowri. You are quite the competitor and as a fighting champion myself, I respect you having more balls than half this locker room to challenge me. I wasn’t anticipating an appearance at Grapland, but now? It seems like I have no choice. Ace Voltage against Lowri Moss in the main event for the Undisputed Championship? Looks like we just made FGA a lot of money!

The fans start cheering as Ace accepts the title match for the pay-per-view.

Ace Voltage: I could not think of a more perfect situation, Lowri. Here I am, the Pride Champion taking you on for your title. See, I have nothing to lose and everything to gain. And you know what? Let’s keep it that way. Because when I beat you, again, in the middle of this ring at Grapland, I will become Two Belts Voltage.

The crowd starts booing imagining Ace with two championships around his waist.

Ace Voltage: They say the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior, and we all saw what happened in the past. When I came here three years ago I was just getting my feet wet back into the wrestling world. I had the talent, I had the charisma, it just took a few years to put it together again. Three years ago, you would have wiped the floor with me, Moss. But now you have realized that this is a different Ace Voltage. This is Main Event Ace Voltage. Championship material Ace Voltage.

Ace raises his pride championship in the air.

Ace Voltage: I know you know this, but champions aren’t made by accident. I hope you sleep tight with that beautiful title. Give it the love it deserves because come Grapland, Two Belts Voltage will arrive.

Ace drops his mic and lays the Pride title over his shoulder. He goes to exit the ring, but Lowri still has a mic in her hand…

Lowri Moss: I’m not surprised to see that you’re full of confidence, Ace– I wouldn’t expect anything else.

Ace stops in his tracks and turns back to face Lowri.

Lowri Moss: But just so we’re clear, I don’t plan on leaving Daytona Beach without the Undisputed title still in my possession– I wouldn’t be out here agreeing to put the title on the line against you if I didn’t believe that I can beat you, if I wasn’t confident that what happened in our match four weeks ago won’t be repeated at Grapland.

A slight sigh escapes her lips.

Lowri Moss: I’ll make you a promise though: if you do beat me at Grapland, if you do indeed become the Undisputed Champion and in the process join the select few to have been a double champion in FGA, then I won't ask for a return match for the title, and on the next episode of Vertigo, I will publicly acknowledge you as being the best wrestler in FGA right now.

Lowri stares at Ace, who stares straight back at her, neither champion or challenger budging an inch, while the crowd buzzes once more at the prospect of these two facing off again at Grapland, this time for the Undisputed Championship, as the show then heads to a commercial break.

[FGA Office]

A few moments tick away before the picture fully comes to life. The camera focuses on Nina as she rests on a bench. The former Frontier Grappling Arts United States Champion is adorned in Nike workout gear. And although the camera’s attention is on her, Nina’s attention seems to be elsewhere. Her clasped hands rest in her lap as her eyes remain closed.

Nina Stokes: Listen very closely to what I am about to say. It won’t be repeated.

Five seconds pass as Nina lets out a small sigh.

Nina Stokes: FGA was the Promised Land of professional wrestling when I first made my start. I hoped and dreamed that one day, I’d have the skills and confidence to compete here. And so, I journeyed across the whole world in order to turn myself into the perfect weapon. I traversed the American independent. I cut my teeth in Europe and South America. I heard thousands of fans scream my name in the Tokyo Dome.

She nods her head.

Nina Stokes: Those were marvelous experiences in and of themselves. But they all served a purpose. They were all leading me to a solitary place―here.

A few seconds pass.

Nina Stokes: The goals and expectations I set for myself were relatively simple. I wanted to dominate. I wanted to decimate. And I wanted to rise to the top of the company. Month after month, match after match, I checked those boxes off. I rained down light and truth onto hypocrisy. I vanquished evil. I breathed life into a dead championship. And I made sure to put the fear of God into each person that stood across from me in the ring.

There’s another pause.

Nina Stokes: Now? I suppose it’s high time I take my place at the top of this company.

Nina takes a second to shake her head.

Nina Stokes: I stated my current objective a few months ago. However, I know that some of you out there are a bit dense. Therefore, let me put in the most simplest of terms―

Nina Stokes: I have played around long enough. Now? I am coming after the FGA Undisputed Championship.

At this point, Nina finally opens her eyes. The camera meets their icy gaze as she tilts her head.

Nina Stokes: Whoever will be holding the championship will not matter. Whoever might step into the path to block me will not matter. I will lay waste to them all. I will even brave the f**kery that is the Gold Rush Rumble to get to where I need to be. There will be no rest for anyone until I am able to hoist that belt high into the air.

A small smirk crosses her lips.

Nina Stokes: If you chose to ignore my words, then it shall be your own misfortune. But if you hear and understand what I speak? Then take this as a declaration of war.

With that, the picture fades out.

Macy Dover vs. Betsy Gallagher

• Gallagher gets caught with a Bionic Elbow that immediately drops her. Gallagher returns to a vertical base, but she gets caught with multiple European Uppercuts. After an irish whip sends Gallagher into the corner, the Bulldover charges over and doubles her over with a Battering Ram. The former 15 Champion then goes to bring Gallagher out of the corner with a short-arm clothesline, but Gallagher's able to duck and return the favor with European Uppercuts of her own.

• Gallagher controls the offense with an irish whip into the corners, followed by running European Uppercuts. She then goes to bring Dover down with a running powerslam, but Dover slips out from behind and shoves Gallagher into the ropes. Gallagher then returns off the rebound with a running single leg dropkick for a two count. After Dover gets whipped hard sternum-first into the corner, she stumbles back before getting dropped with a Knightmaker (Elbow Smash to the back of the opponent's head) and then a Double Underhook Sit-out Facebuster for another two count.

• Lady Gallagher continues to pour on the offense, bringing Dover down with the British End (Pumphandle Lift dropped into a Reverse STO) before turning her inside out with the Queen's Lariat (Wristlock transitioned into a Short-Arm Lariat). Gallagher then finishes things off with the Betsy Bomb (Sitout Double Underhook Powerbomb) to get the ONE, TWO, THREE, along with her first win in FGA.

Roving reporter Amanda Johnson is making her way through the backstage halls of the Von Baun Center. Amanda and the camera keep a fast pace until they enter the parking area. A roar of cheers follow as the cameraman focuses on none other than the current 15 Champion, TJ Techniques. Amanda and the reporter make their way over to Techniques, who is in the middle of pacing back and forth. The Funky Technician comes to a stop when he turns his attention to the two of them.

Amanda Johnson: Ladies and gentlemen, I've just caught up with TJ Techniques. TJ, you've got a big title defense tonight against Erin Mariani. I don't mean to doubt your process, but don't you think you should be preparing right now.

TJ smirks at Amanda's question.

TJ Techniques: ​​Oh, don't worry. I've already done prepared for Erin. I've been in the ring with that woman before, so I already know what her get down is. For as talented as she is, she's equally sneaky. She'll do anything and everything to come out on top. I mean, all you have to do is peep this rivalry between Silk & Cyanide and Ashes 2 Ashes to see that. There ain't a low that Erin - or Sara Mason, for that matter - won't stoop to. You see, before Ashes 2 Ashes won the tag titles, Erin was walking around with those titles. Those titles, Amanda, were titles that were stolen from me. They were stolen from me because I ain't have partner that I could trust. They were stolen from me because I ain't have a partner that had my back. That's the only reason they made it out of 2022 with the tag titles. But that ain't happenin' this time. Nah, I won't let it happen. Erin, you stole won title from me. You damn sure ain't about to steal another.

TJ shakes his head from side to side before segueing to his next point.

TJ Techniques: ​​Speaking of stolen titles, the reason why I'm out here, Amanda, is because I told that hatin' ass Laura Perelli that she better run me my 15 Championship. It wasn't gonna exempt her from the ass whippin' that's comin' her way at Grapland. She can't weasel her way out of that one. But I told her that if she had any respect for that title, for this business, hell, even for herself, then she would do the right thing and give the title back to me. But as you can clearly see, there's no sign of Laura Perelli. The backstage attendants ain't seen her. The valets ain't seen her. None of the wrestlers ain't seen her. But that's okay, Laura. It's clear that I ain't gon' see you tonight. But I will see you at Grapland and when I do, I'm gon' bust your head. You can bet on that.

A beat.

TJ Techniques: ​​You see, to you, this is a game. This is all a game to you. But look at me. Look at my face right now. Do I look like a man that should be played with? Listen to the sincerity in my voice. Do I sound like a man that should be messed around with? Hmm? Look at what happened to 'ol boy... Cassius Reed. That man stabbed me in the back and in turn, he got claptized in the middle of the ring. That man has spent the last couple of months with his ass in a sling and he just now started showin' back up to work. That's what I did to him. Yet for some reason, Laura got the grand idea that I would be someone to mess with after that? After all of that? This little scheme of yours blew up in your face last time, yet you think it's gon' work this time? Laura, Laura, Laura, baby... you have no idea what you're in for. I'm gon' go out there in a few, handle business with Erin Mariani, and then I'm gon' handle you at Grapland. Trust me when I tell you, I'm beatin' your ass into the ground. You think I'm playin'? You watch and see...

[FGA Office]

Mara Jade Miller vs. Sloan Talbot

• Things got heated pretty quickly between Miller and Talbot on social media. So instead of starting things off with a handshake, these two immediately charge out of their respective corners. Talbot throws out a wild haymaker, but Miller ducks. Miller then throws out a haymaker of their own when Talbot turns around, but the former 15 Champion is able to duck out of the way. Once they're facing each other again, Miller nails Talbot with a right hand. Talbot returns the favor with a right hand of his own. Miller nails Talbot with another right hand. Talbot returns the favor with a right hand of his own. Miller nails Talbot with yet another right hand. Talbot goes to answer back until Miller cuts him off with another right hand. Miller socks him with another punch. They then load up for another right when Talbot cuts them off with a punch of his own. He then socks then with another right... and another... and another. The two grapplers then grab each other by the backs of their necks before exchanging punches at a frenetic pace. Miller and Talbot continue to trade blows until Talbot doubles them over with a knee to the midsection. After a knee lift knocks them upright, Talbot takes off into the ropes. He comes off the rebound to knock them down with a lariat, but Miller remains on their feet. They then point for Talbot to try again. Talbot looks them up and down and obliges. He then hits the ropes, comes back and tries for another lariat. But once again, Miller remains standing. Talbot then points to the far ropes. Miller nods their head before taking off into the ropes. When Miller returns, they come to a stop when Talbot runs past them towards the same set of ropes. Miller then turns around before Talbot knocks them down with a running big boot for a two count!

• Talbot brings the action into the corner and hits Miller a series of elbow strikes, followed by a series of knee strikes, followed by a series of shoulder thrusts in the corner. They set up Miller for the ride, only for Miller to reverse, follow him across the ring and connect with a lariat in the far corner. They then return the favor with a series of elbow strikes, followed by a series of knee strikes, followed by a series of shoulder thrusts. Talbot is then sent for the ride into the far ropes before Miller tackles him down with a Lou Thesz Press. From there, Miller grabs Talbot's wrists and pins them to the mat before lunging down and hitting him with a headbutt. Miller follows up with grounded forearm smashes. They then switch to the side and hit Talbot with grounded knee strikes. They finally make the cover, but Talbot kicks out at two.

• Miller brings the action right back into the corner by slamming Talbot face-first into the top turnbuckle. They then turns Talbot around before nailing him across the chest with a hard knife edge chop. The thud from a second knife edge cop echoes throughout the building. They then pull their arm back before delivering a blistering third knife edge chop. A gun sounds like it went off after Talbot gets caught with yet another knife edge chop. Talbot then grabs Miller by the throat with both hands, tosses them into the corner and returns the favor with multiple chops of his own. Miller fights through it and fires back with multiple chops that knock Talbot back. Talbot is nearly back towards the center of the ring before he cuts Miller off with a throat punch. He then doubles Miller over with knee to the gut before lifting Miller up. Talbot keeps them held up for a good ten seconds before falling back to complete the delayed vertical suplex. Instead of going for the cover, Talbot rolls over on top of Miller and rains down mounted punches. He then follows up with a two-handed choke before returning to his feet and delivering a throat stomp.

• After Miller gets whipped into the corner, Talbot comes barreling across the ring with a corner lariat. NO! Miller slips out of the way in time. Talbot crashes into the corner and stumbles back before Miller spins him towards them and knocks him down with a discus lariat for a two count. Talbot then gets sent for the ride. Miller goes for a pump kick off the return, but Talbot catches their foot, throws it down and follows up with a European Uppercut. He then scoops them up into his arms before hitting a backbreaker into a fallaway slam for a two count. Talbot then tosses them out through the ropes to the floor. He then climbs up onto the bottom rope, pulls Miller back to their feet and brings them back inside with Enter Tragedy (Superplex From Apron) for a two count.

• Talbot drags them into position before stepping out to the apron. He tries for Enter Tragedy off the apron to the floor, but Miller blocks it. They then take Talbot, lift him up and keep him held in the air for five seconds before hitting Talbot with a delayed suplex of their own for a two count! They continue to impress with their strength by catching Talbot off an irish whip rebound with a gorilla press slam! Talbot turns over into the prone position before Miller reaches down and hits a deadlift German Suplex for another two count! After a pump kick sends Talbot stumbling back into the ropes, Miller hits the far ropes, comes barreling back across the ring and hits a lariat that sends them both over the top rope to the floor. Both grapplers land on their feet before Talbot lifts Miller up into the bear hug position, runs forward and rams them back-first into the ring post. Talbot then lifts them up before hitting a flapjack onto the guardrail. Miller appears to lip their face against the guardrail on the way down and busts them open. But Miller doesn't appear to be horrified by the sight of their own blood. They like it! So Talbot rains down more closed fists before biting their face to open up the cut even more. Miller is then whipped down ringside and into the guardrail. Talbot sizes them up, runs down the ringside area and sends them flipping over the rail into the crowd with a running big boot. He then goes for a vertical suplex over the rail and back to ringside, but Miller slips down from behind, spins Talbot towards them and follows up with an Alabama Slam through the timekeeper's table!

• Miller brings the action back inside and catches Talbot off the rebound with a Double A Spinebuster for a two count. They then pull Talbot back up and stun him with multiple elbows before hitting the ropes. When they return, Talbot returns the favor with a spinebuster of his own for a two count. Miller then gets whipped hard into the corner. As they stagger out, Talbot brings them down with a hip toss neckbreaker for another two count. A sidewalk slam gets another two count. Talbot then catches then off the rebound with a powerslam before grabbing them by the throat. He yanks them back to their feet and hoists them up for a chokeslam, but they catch him with an elbow to the side of the head of the way up. Talbot gets caught with more elbow smashes before a discus lariat knocks him back. Another pump kick to the face knocks him back. Miller then hits the ropes, comes back and knocks him down with a spear. They then bring Talbot back to his feet before bringing him down with a chokeslam of their own. Talbot is then doubled over with a hard knee thrust to the body before Miller hits the ropes, returns and catches him across the back of the head with The Wargasm (Corkscrew Scissor Kick) for the ONE, TWO, THREE!

We head backstage where AMC is standing next to a monitor. She motions for the camera to get closer.

AMC: Let's take a look at the last show shall we? You know when Silk and Cyanide showed there stupid side once again.

The capacity crowd’s attention turns to the the aisle as Erin Mariani makes her way down to the ring. The ref is quick to get out to the apron and ban her from the ringside area. When Mariani doesn't leave, AMC runs up from behind and knocks her down with a clothesline. The two continue to brawl in the aisle while Sara Mason sneaks over the guardrail before slithering into the ring. After Ashley brings Antoinette down with Into Dust (Codebreaker), she returns to her feet, turns around and gets hit with a Fireball from Mason! Ashley immediately goes down and covers her face. Her cries immediately get the attention of both the ref and AMC. At this time, Mason has already rolled out of the ring and kneeled down next to the ring. The ref tends to Ashley after she rolls out to the ring to the floor. AMC goes over to help, but she ends up getting jumped by both members of Silk & Cyanide. They then bring AMC over towards the ringside area before driving her down with Haute Tension (double inverted crucifix powerbomb) across the steel steps

AMC: Don’t you remember what happened last time you two parasites played with fire? Allow me to refresh your memories, last time we played with fire I powerbombed your sorry ass through a flaming table and claimed what was rightfully ours, those FGA tag team titles!!!

AMC turns off the monitor.

AMC: Now if you think a fireball will keep Sully down or back pain will keep me down then you two really are dumber than you look and well you two are really dumb looking!!

AMC kicks the monitor onto the floor.

AMC: You two want to get your asses handed to you again? That is fine with me and I know Sully well enough to know that she is fine with whooping that ass again as well. You two bitches made the biggest mistake of your careers and now A2A will end those careers!!

AMC face goes from a smirk to a look of uncertainty.

AMC: That is the future but the here and now I have a date with an Alien loving, hyperactive girl named after a bug. That’s right AMC vs Antoinette Sands is the true Main Event of the night, AAA explodes!

AMC gets that smirk back on her face.

AMC: Now everybody is asking what can we expect? Will this be a wrestling clinic or will AMC just plain out beat the hell of Ant? Well that answer is simple I will beat her ass down! This is not some AAA exhibition match, this is to get an eventual title shot and one thing I love is championships. Ashley 2 belts, Ashley triple belts, any belts out there I want and that starts tonight!

AMC gets more hyped up as she continues.

AMC: It doesn’t matter who is across that ring from me because if it's a singles match I will beat that ass! I will hurt you and I will not think twice! I have won numerous women's titles, US Titles, Bloodlust titles and numerous tag titles just to name a few! I know how to win and I will be damned if I allow an alien loving, hyperactive do gooder………

AMC suddenly stops and slowly turns around and we see Antoinette Sands standing behind her.

AMC: How long have you been standing there?

Antoinette just stares at her with huge puppy dog eyes that are starting to water up.

AMC: NO! Ant don’t you dare give me those puppy dog eyes!

Antoinette Sands Are you really going to try and beat me up sis?

AMC backs away.

AMC: We are not related young lady and unlike you and Sully we are not sister in laws so that look is not going to work.

AMC doesn’t seem to believe what she said as Antoinette’s puppy dog eye look seems to be getting to her.

Antoinette Sands: We are sisters from other misters!

AMC starts to back away and starts to leave.

AMC: NO! NO! NO! I am not looking at you anymore and I am not listening!!

Antoinette chases after her.

Antoinette Sands: SISTERS FROM OTHER MISTERS!!!!!!

FGA 15 CHAMPIONSHIP
(c) TJ Techniques vs. Erin Mariani

• The Funky Technician is looking to make defense #2 a successful one while Mariani looks to take another championship from TJ and add it to her collection. The two start things off with a collar-and-elbow, but TJ is quick to get the advantage with a snap arm drag out of the lock up. Mariani returns to her feet, runs over and gets caught with a deep arm drag. A japanese arm drag returns her to the mat. TJ locks hands with her before slapping her chest, running over towards the side of the ring, running up to the top rope, twirling through the air and bringing her down with yet another arm drag. Once Mariani is back to a vertical base, Techniques runs over and delivers a running hurricanrana that sends her through the ropes to the outside. The 15 Champion then takes off into the far ropes, returns off the rebound and knocks her down with a topé con hilo! Techniques goes to bring the action back inside, but Mariani cuts him off with a rake to the eyes. She then tries for an irish whip into the ring post, but Techniques is able to hit a Tiger Wall Flip off the post, turns around and catches the charging Mariani with a Spanish Fly!

Post-match, the bell gets called while Perelli rolls to the outside and puts the boots to Techniques. She then rolls him back inside and starts to taunt him with the 15 Championship. She then sizes Techniques up for a belt shot to the face. But TJ is able to duck the belt shot and counter with a leaping reverse STO! With Perelli splayed out on the mat, Techniques turns and eyes the 15 Championship. He's about to grab it when Mariani knocks him down form behind with a running elbow tackle. Mariani and Perelli start stomp away on Techniques until Antoinette and AMC come running out from the back! AMC gets in and immediately targets Mariani while Antoinette fights off Perelli. Mariani gets dropped with the Walk of Fame (spear) before rolling to the outside. Meanwhile, Perelli gets nailed with an Ant-zuigiri that sends her flipping down to the mat before rolling out to the side. Sara Mason then runs down to the ring and climbs the apron, but Antoinette is there to knock her off with an elbow to the face. AMC and Antoinette wave on Silk & Cyanide. But the former Tag Champs think better and slowly back away. While everyone's attention is on Silk & Cyanide, Perelli is able to roll back into the ring, grab the 15 Championship and rolls back out before taking off through the crowd before TJ can get back up.

The cameras cut to TJ Techniques. He's still visibly sweaty from his match just a little bit ago against Erin Mariani. But he's also visibly pissed about Laura Perelli's latest stunt. He narrows his eyes as he recalls the events from early tonight... before breaking out into a chuckle? A "man on man..." escapes his lips before he runs his hands down his face. The Funky Technician turns his attention to the camera.

TJ Techniques: ​​I don't know why y'all keep messin' with me. I don't know why y'all think TJ Techniques is for play-play. Laura, I don't know who gassed you up. I don't know who gassed you. But whichever one of your dumbass friends told you that this was a good idea, you need to fire them because they just set you up for failure.

TJ shakes his head with disgust at the camera.

TJ Techniques: ​​To think that it didn't have to be like this. It ain't have to be like this at all. If you had come correct and came at me with respect... if you had came at me on some "so TJ, I see you're the 15 Champion now. I do have a win over you from before, so how about we run it back? This time, with your new title on the line?"... if you had came at me like that? You wanna know what I would've said? "Aight, bet". I honestly would've. Everything would've been cool. Everything would've been peace. But now? Now? To hell with peace and, more importantly, to hell with Laura Perelli!

TJ spits on the ground.

TJ Techniques: ​​You know, it's clear to me that you were never raised right. It's clear to me that your parents did a piss poor job of raisin' you. Now I don't like to bring family into it. I keep my attacks on the person or the people standin' across the ring from me. But my God, your parents have to be kickin' themselves right now because when they look at you and see how you act, they know that they f*cked up. They probably let your little bad ass run around... just doin' whatever the hell you want. And here you are, 20 some odd years later, still actin' entitled, still actin' like the world owes you everything. Hell, your damn nickname is La Principessa. It explains everything...

The 15 Champion throws his hands up over Perelli's actions.

TJ Techniques: ​​Last time I wrestled on an FGA pay per view, it was at an event called Grapple Kingdom. Let me tell you somethin'. When you think back to that match against Cassius, the last thing that comes to mind is "grappling". The last thing that comes to mind is "wrestling". The first thing that comes to mind is someone gettin' stomped out! After Grapland, the same thing will be said about this match with you! Y'all know me. Y'all know I like to talk my talk. But I'm also humble enough to give credit where it's do and big up my opponents. This time? Nah, there's no respect for you because you don't deserve respect! You deserve my respect! You don't deserve my handshake! What you deserve, Laura, is to get that head bust!

TJ punches the palm of his hand with his fist.

TJ Techniques: ​​To you, Laura, when you step though that curtain and you look out in front of you, you see a ring. You see a 18 x 18... 20 x 20 canvas that you can create beautiful, beautiful art on. Not me. When I step through those curtains on pay per view, I'm not gon' see a ring. I'm not gon' see a canvas to create art on. What I'm gon' see, Laura, is the Killing Fields. Trust me when I tell you this: when I get your ass out there in them Killing Fields...

TJ motions for the cameraman to zoom in. He does just that.

TJ Techniques: ​​Your ass... belongs... to me.

Caroline immediately starts slapping the apron and tries to will HENNY towards the ropes. When HENNY reaches out for help, Caroline slaps Sparrow on the leg and motions for him to drag HENNY across the ring. Sparrow looks at Caroline like she's got two heads. Prichard continues to fight for the submission, but HENNY's able to hang on. He then slowly, but surely, drags himself across the ring and makes it towards the ropes. But Prichard doesn't let go. He uses every bit of the five seconds the ref gives him before finally releasing the hold. HENNY is then yanked back to his feet and pulled away from the ropes before Prichard sends him shoulder-first into the mat with an arm wringer. Prichard then wraps his legs around HENNY's arm before delivering an arm twist. Sparrow looks on as HENNY gets brought down with a hammerlock scoop slam for a two count. A belly to back hammerlock suplex gets another two count. After HENNY gets whipped hard into the corner, he staggers out before getting planted with a tilt-a-whirl DDT! NO!

Gonsalves goes to follow up with a Tornado DDT, but Sparrow pushes him off mid turn. Sparrow runs over and ducks a rolling elbow from Gonsalves before catching him when he turns around with the Leaf Hurricane (Counter Scorpion Kick followed by a Pele Kick)!
