We've travelled across the world. Giving wresting fans everywhere the finest pro wrestling of today. We hosted Grandslam in London, England. Wembley truly became, The Grandest Stage Of Them All that night. From there the adventure continued across the continents, to Chairman Emil A.s home country Norway, to Russia, and offcourse, who can forget the PPV we held in North Korea? We've been to Japan, Vietnam, Singapore, All the islands in the Oceania. We've been to the dark continent in Africa, and even held a major PPV there. Further the journey went to South-America, where we hosted two unforgetable PPV's. We're now getting closer to home, and we can all agree on that it's been a wonderful journey. But a start of another journey starts tonight, as EAM Promotions brings back The Sky Is The Limit Ladder Matchup! New and improved with scaffolds and dangers, The winner... will be main eventing Grandslam 13. Getting a chance to walk out as EAM Champion....
Pride General Manager Christian Cage announced two weeks ago that he was retirering from pro wrestling. But that he wanted one last match. And he had one particular opponent in mind. Everyone was shocked when Cage chose Dalton Castle. This is the biggest opportunity Dalton ever had in his career. If he manage to beat Christian Cage in Cage's last wrestling match ever, there sure will be prizes...
And Moose.... the phenomenom. The football player who needs to be destroyed, in the words of Uhaa Nation. Tonight they wrestle. In a match that EAM fans have called on social media; Dream Match.....
Then Ronda Rousey appears.... In front of her is a toy replica of a EAM ring, and inside the ring are four women wrestling figures. We can easily see who it is before Ronda sends a furious punch to the toy, sundering it to pieces. She picks up the small replica of the eam womens title, and puts it into her mouth......
The Bullet Club has managed to establish themselves as The Alpha Force in EAM, and tonight their escapades might bring them even closer to the goal. Total Conquest! But not everything is ok in the country og BC. The Young bucks are scheduled to defend their titles in a Ultimate X Match against five other teams, who's after the recent stakes added to the match, have nothing to lose. Pride Champion Karl Anderson also faces a problem, as fellow BC member Doc Gallows is his opponent for tonight, and Doc cannt afford to lose this matchup. BC bros or not.... But Omega or Devitt will be facing Angelico for the OPC Title, while the other will be in the Sky Is The Limit Ladder Match. So The odds are suddenly evened. Did I mention The leader of the Bullet Club are facing The EAM Champion for the title? .. One can ask himself. Is there really an option to The Bullet Club?
CARD
Winning Team Will Be Added To The Ultimate X Matchup
Team Tremendous (Bill Carr and Dan Barry) Vs Sydal & Sabin
Welcome everyone to EAM Mile High and what a PPV it should with that incredible opening. A lot on the line tonight including titles and matches which may cause some people to lose their jobs soon so it's a big night. We open up with a tag team match in which the winning team will be added to the Ultimate X match so the winners of this match already have the disadvantage because they will have to wrestle twice. The first team out are Team Tremendous who get a huge ovation and have been doing great as of late followed by Sydal and Sabin who have already done so much since their return and also get a big cheer from the crowd. Back and forth action throughout this one with some good double teaming action from both sides. Trem use a more comedy style throughout which Sydal/Sabin also involve themselves in. Some signature/finishing moves attempted and reversed in this one while Carr nails a sidewalk slam for a 2 on Sabin. Carr unloads on Sabin before he makes a comeback tagging in Sydal who wipes out both of Trem with dropkicks and a moonsault to Barry. Both teams want the win but Trem did just get a title match and it would be a good idea to lose this one because at least you know your job is probably safe!.
SS double team Trem with quick team moves as Carr comes back with a big boot to Sydal. Carr then throws Sabin over the top rope and nails a dive onto him!. Barry looks for a suplex to Sydal who reverses out of it and hits a reverse x factor for a 2. Carr runs back into the ring at Sydal and catches him with a 30 second black hole slam which makes the crowd go wild!. Trem signal the end looking to finish Sydal as Carr looks for a powerbomb and Barry looks for a dive but Sabin pushes Barry off the ropes as Sydal ranas Carr. Barry/Sydal are the legal men as Sabin nails the Shell Shock to Barry while Sydal goes to the top rope but Carr stops him in time. Sabin comes in now looking for a powerbomb from the second rope while Carr is looking for a superplex on Sydal who pushes him off and Sabin powerbomb Carr onto Barry!. Sydal stands up on the top rope...SHOOTING STAR PRESS...Sabin rolls Carr out of the ring...1...2...3 IT'S OVER!. Big win for S and S to open the show but Trem looked good as well. Some fans seem to be disappointed that Trem didn't win but they had a chance before and may have saved their jobs anyway. Trem look upset as they are about to leave but Sydal/Sabin get the fans to clap for them so Trem thank them back. We cut away with S and S celebrating their win, PWG feeling and 10:12.
Pride Title Matchup
If Gallows Loses, He Wont Get Another Title Shot
Karl Anderson (c) Vs Doc Gallows
It is now time for the second match on the show which could easily be higher on the card but it's only the second match which shows you how much is happening tonight. We see a video package of how this match ended up happening before Doc Gallows comes to the ring receiving boos and this is almost like the opposite fan reaction from the first match as two bad guys are fighting instead of two good sides. Doc walks down to the ring and we can see he doesn't look like the usual cocky ego Doc we normally use. Out comes Karl who gets an even bigger boo but loves it while insulting the fans and entering the ring. Melissa makes the introductions and reveals the stipulation that Gallows must win this match or he will never get another title shot which actually makes Karl smile a little bit. This is actually one of the most anticipated matches of the night because what will Doc do? as the bell rings and here we go. Karl winks at Doc before the lock up, they take each other down with headlocks but they are very soft landings. Both nail a pathetic double arm drag as Karl over sells and asks the ref to stop it. The fans start booing like crazy and we know Emil doesn't want this to happen. The pathetic moves continue on for a minute or so before the referee steps in and separates them.
He walks each man to a corner telling them to stop messing around, wasting people's time, insulting the fans or else he'll DQ both of them and threatens/teases that he'll strip Karl of his belt unless they wrestle like normal which fans cheer for. Karl goes ape shit telling the ref that he can't do that but eventually calms down and nods his head before winking at Doc again. Karl walks to the middle of the ring followed by Doc...FINGERPOKE OF DOOM!. Karl pokes Doc with the fingerpoke of doom and he's down!. Karl acts like he's had a long match and is worn out as he covers Doc...1...2...NO DOC KICKS OUT!!?. The fans go wild for this while Karl looks confused and pissed. Karl asks Doc what the hell are you doing and forces him back to one knee again but Doc doesn't want to lay down...then eventually does...1...2...DOC KICKS OUT AGAIN!. Karl is super pissed right now going crazy at Doc telling him he has one more chance as Doc gets to one knee again. Karl tells Doc to lay down now but Doc refuses while Karl starts slapping him!. DOC CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE...BAAAM HE NAILS KARL WITH A PUNCH AND THEN A LARIAT. The fans are going wild for Doc as he unloads on Karl. Irish whip into a big boot from Doc as he waits for Karl to get back up...belly to belly suplex...1...2...NO Karl kicks out. Doc nails Anderson with a fallaway slam then starts mocking Karl telling him that nobody tells him what to do and remember there's no BC at ringside since they're all busy in other matches later so they must be shocked by this.
Doc picks Karl up throwing him into the ropes...GALLOWS POLE (THE CHOKEBOMB), Gallows nails his finisher...1...2...KARL KICKS OUT SOMEHOW!. Doc looks shocked by this but continues to attack Karl. This is anger that must have built up for so long because Doc has always been second after Karl and never the main guy. Doc looks for another Gallows Pole but Karl reverses it into a Gun Stun!?...NO DOC TURNS HIM AROUND...GUN STUN TO KARL!. DOC NAILS KARL'S OWN MOVE ON HIM...1...2...NO Anderson kicks out again!. The fans are going completely insane for Doc and who ever thought that would happen. Karl rolls out of the ring, grabs his belt, runs up the ramp but Gallows charges after him and runs him back down into the ring. Doc comes in...GUN STUN FROM ANDERSON AS HE COMES IN...1...2...DOC KICKS OUT!. Smart move from Anderson trying to get away but also getting the advantage like this. Anderson again says you have made the wrong decision to Doc as he looks for another Gun Stun but Doc pushes him off and reverses with a body avalanche splash for a close 2 again.
Karl scuttles to the corner going after his belt which he brought in with him while trying to leave. The referee fights with Karl over the belt as Doc comes over...LOW BLOW FROM ANDERSON WHILE THE REFEREE WASN'T LOOKING!. Doc stumbles to the middle of the ring as Karl smiles at him then does the hand gun signal to his head...GUN STUN ONE MORE TIME!...1...2...3 DAMN IT!. Anderson picks up the win in this match with a smart idea of using the title to distract the ref and low blowing Doc to get the win. What an effort by Doc though but what will happen to Bullet Club now?. Anderson celebrates his win in the ring as Doc gets on his knees and just stares at Doc with a sickening look of disgust on his face and tells him that he made a big mistake and shouldn't have done this before leaving the ring with his title up the rampway. We cut away with Doc on his knees looking upset knowing he will never get another title shot, possibly ruined his place in BC and shocked at what he just did but with fans chanting for Doc so maybe it was worth it after all?, NJPW feeling and 12/13 minutes.
Ultimate X Matchup For The EAM Tag Team Titles
The Young Bucks (c) Vs OI4K (Dave & Jake Crist) Vs reDRagon (Kyle O’Reilly & Bobby Fish) Vs PAC & Ricochet Vs John Morrison & Shelton Benjamin Vs Love Gun (Sydal & Sabin)
It is now time for our next match which is an Ultimate X match for the EAM Tag Titles. Bucks have been great champions so far but this will be the toughest test for them yet. A lot of teams fighting hard to become champions. Love Gun have a disadvantage since they wrestled earlier tonight. The tag titles are hung above the ring on the red X wire with the four scaffold legs attached to each side of the four corners. 10/10, PWG/ROH/TNA feeling in this one with a lot of back and forth action/signature/finishing/double team moves throughout. Melissa makes the introductions as all teams come out to the ring and look at the titles in the air. Last but not least are the Bucks who get a big boo from the crowd but they love it. The Bucks slowly walk down to the ring insulting everyone in the ring and here we go!!!. Before the match even starts people run out the ring and attack Bucks while the others fight in the ring. The bell just rung and chaos has ensued already. Loads of people try to climb each side of the ring but get stopped over and over.
reDRagon work down people in the ring as Bucks are starting to fight back outside the ring. 12 men and 6 men teams are in this match so it's hard to keep up with the action and moves. Chasing the Dragon to Jake Crist!. Sydal with an SSP to Dave Crist right after that as Sabin nails Fish with a Cradle Shock. Crist Bros roll to the outside trying to gather their bearings but Sabin with a running forearm through the ropes to both the Crists...uh oh...it's time for the dives!. reDRagon run at the ropes with swantons over the top onto everyone. MORRISON WITH A PARKOUT TWISTING SCREWDRIVER DIVE!. What the hell was that from John as Benjamin nails a moonsault from the top rope onto everybody!. Ricochet with an insane springboard SSP as PAC flies through with a twisting moonsault. Sydal's looking for a dive...BAAAM DOUBLE SUPERKICK FROM BUCKS!. Bucks tease they are about to dive as well but stop and laugh at the crowd shouting 'we're not even gonna waste our energy for this match!'. Bucks pick up Sydal and throw him over the top rope onto everyone before flexing the gun shows.
Bucks quickly climb up each side of the scaffold and scurry across the wires while Crists climb up each side and brings them down to the mat stopping the Bucks. All men enter the ring now as Crists stop the beatdown on Bucks and all men look at each other before looking at the Bucks and smiling. The fans go wild for this as they all attack the Bucks together!!!. Bucks beg for them to stop while fans chant this is awesome. Morrison just got a table from underneath the ring and sets it up next to the ring/rampway. The Bucks manage to escape under the bottom rope and hide behind a scaffold side each. All the other men continue to fight each other in the ring with people bring thrown all over the place and outside the ring until there's just two men left which are Morrison/Benjamin. Morrison goes up to the top of the wires as Benjamin keeps everyone away from him but Bucks come in from hiding behind the scaffold and attack Benjamin. Bucks then get on each others shoulders and reach for Morrison pulling him down!. Morrison is fighting them off while hanging in the middle of the X...OMG...MORRISON FALLS AND IS HANGING UPSIDE DOWN IN A TREE OF WOEWITH JUST HIS FEET HOLDING ON!. Benjamin pushes both Bucks down to the mat then tries to help Morrison back up but Morrison tells him something.
Benjamin runs to the corner of the ring then charges at Morrison?...what...HOLY SHIT...Benjamin puts his feet into Morrison's hands while he's hung upside down and Morrison spring launches Benjamin up to the X!. Good god the crowd are going crazy!. Morrison just pressed Benjamin by his feet using his hands so he could sit up and swing him up to the top of the X while he was hanging upside down!. Morrison tries to sit up again to get his hands to grab onto the X but he can't after that as the Bucks re-enter the ring. Nick gets on his hands and knees as Matt runs then jumps off his back like The Hardy'z but nailing a superkick to an upside down Morrison in mid air!. Two moves we've never seen before as fans go wild. Morrison is out at least for now but Benjamin is still on top of the X now trying to reach for the belts. Bucks then see this and realize it's too late to go up the turnbuckles so Matt puts Nick onto his shoulders into the electric chair again so they are higher and tries to reach Benjamin!. Nick grabs Benjamin's legs pulling them onto his shoulders as Benjamin's hands hold onto the wires for dear life!. Nick has Benjamin in a powerbomb position and pulls him down off the X...NO...NO...WAAAAH MATT JACKSON WITH NICK JACKSON IN AN ELECTRIC CHAIR POWERBOMBS BENJAMIN OVER THE TOP ROPE THROUGH THE TABLE THAT MORRISON SET UP EARLIER!.
Holy shit and the fans are going wild with another move we've never seen before. Like a normal powerbomb but elevated!. Matt puts Nick down off his shoulders as they pose again. PACochet come into the ring attacking Bucks fast nailing them with double team moves. PAC with a standing 450 and Ricochet with a moonsault. PACochet could be the fan favorite out of all the teams and are very good/underrated as they climb to the top of the X but so do reDRagon who stop them and brings them down to the mat. Morrison attacks reDRagon and so do PACochet leading to a 3 on 2 attack which is a good idea as in these kind of matches you have to work together sometimes. All 3 men throw reDRagon out of the ring near the announce tables. Morrison then slap the chests of PACochet like they're a team but nope PACochet attacks him which fans laugh at. Sabin comes in with a dive from the top rope onto all 3 men before throwing them outside so he's the only one left. Sabin then sees that the sides of the ring have people near the scaffold so decides to try to up everybody else by going to the ring apron. Sabin is looking for a springboard to the X!?. Sabin's not even much of a high flying guy but he's gonna try it...SPRINGBOARD...NO Sabin can't reach it so he does it again....NO Sabin once again fails before trying a third time. Sabin springbo...BAAAM DOUBLE SUPERKICK FROM THE BUCKS WERE ON THE OUTSIDE APRON!.
Sabin collapses to the outside of the ring but what a move from the Bucks superkicking Sabin to the sides of his head on the outside apron knocking him down. Bucks look around and see nobody is in the ring but Sabin is moving. They look at each other and smile as Nick picks up Sabin while Matt runs into the ring. Nick has Sabin in the tombstone piledriver outside the ring...NO...MATT RUNS THE ROPES BEFORE DIVING OVER...WAAAH THE MELTZER DRIVER/INDIETAKER TO CHRIS SABIN ON THE FLOOR!. The crowd go nuts while chanting this is awesome and that's gotta be it for Sabin!. Wait a minute...Shelton Benjamin is somehow crawling back to his feet!. Benjamin has crawled around the outside side of the ring and begins to climb up the scaffold wall!. People are chanting for Benjamin as he's nearly at the top of scaffold but still needs to climb across the wires...WAIT A MINUTE...REDRAGON ARE BACK UP AND GOING AFTER BENJAMIN. Shelton's the only man climbing up so it makes sense and Benjamin was climbing the scaffold side near where reDRagon were. Benjamin tries to fight them off but reDRagon band Benjamin's head off the scaffold. reDRAGON then lock bodies around Benjamin while all hanging onto the scaffold side...NO....WAAAH...REDRAGON SIDE RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP BENJAMIN FROM THE SCAFFOLD THROUGH THE ANNOUNCERS TABLE...HOLY SHIT!.
All three men are out just like Sabin while Bucks attack Ricochet outside the ring while Morrison has begun climbing inside the ring. The Bucks tree of woe Ricochet's legs onto the scaffold then look under the ring for something and find tape!. Bucks then tape Ricochet's entire body while he's upside down in the tree of woe and stuck to the scaffold outside!. It's a cruel but smart idea from the Bucks as they then nail a double superkick to Ricochet who might be out. Crists attack Bucks throwing them into the ring as PAC and Sydal attack the Crists throwing Jake over one side of the ring and Dave over the other before looking up to the X...BAAAM THOSE DAMN BUCKS AGAIN WITH A DOUBLE SUPERKICK TO SYDAL AND THEN TO PAC!. Bucks throw them over the top rope as they see Morrison nearing the belts so climb up to get him. Crists are climbing opposite sides of the scaffold as PAC/Sydal go up with each one of them as well. This might be one of if not the craziest and best Ultimate X we've ever seen...RICOCHET IS BREAKING LOOSE OF THE TAPE AND SITS UP, UNHOOKS HIS LEGS AND CLIMBS THE SCAFFOLD FAST!.
All men are on the scaffold with Bucks trapped in the middle. Ricochet stands on top of the scaffold side and points that he's coming after them but Bucks have Morrison seated sitting on the wire. PAC wriggles off Crist pushing him down to the floor as PAC climbs to the top while Sydal brings himself and the other Crist down on the opposite side to the floor. Ricochet is coming for Bucks but how can he with only a wire?...OMG...RICOCHET IS WALKING THE WIRE LIKE IT'S A TIGHT ROPE!. The Bucks jump onto the other 2 ropes of the X so he can't get them but Ricochet is still walking on the wire and sees Morrison sitting in front of him...OMG...NO...WAAAAH...RICOCHET NAILS A HURICANRANA TO MORRISON FROM THE TOP OF THE X ALL THE WAY TO THE MAT. HOLY FUCKING SHIT!. Ricochet just pulled out an old Elix Skipper cage walk from 2004 but did it with a wire!. Morrison has gotta be dead and PAC is now on top of the scaffold looking on in shock for his partner. The fans are going wild as Bucks move to the X in the middle. PAC is standing there by himself watching as he looks at the crowd. PAC JUMPS FROM THE SCAFFOLD TO THE MIDDLE OF THE X!. Bucks are underneath hanging on reaching for the belts while PAC is above trying to stop them but it's a 2 on 1 situation.
People are chanting for PAC...PAC...PAC but this one has to be ove...NO WAY...HE'S MOVING!?. RICOCHET IS MOVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING. Ricochet looks up to see what's happening and begins to climb the scaffold again!. This match is like the main event and has to be a MOTY candidate. Ricochet reaches the middle but the Bucks are climbing to the top as well. Nick scrambles PAC to corner of the scaffold and Matt pushes Ricochet to one corner as well. Bucks keeping them away as they fight on top of the scaffold on opposite sides. THE CRISTS ARE SHAKING EACH SIDE OF THE SCAFFOLD THEY'RE ON!. Everyone is shaking but Ricochet and PAC knock Nick and Matt down onto the wire balls first!. Fans love that, PAChet don't realise Bucks are still holding onto the wires because of the distraction by the Crists. Crists are shouting at PAC/Ricochet to 'come on don't be pussies' as they continue to shake the scaffolds each side. PAC and Ricochet then stand up straight and look at each other before smiling and nodding then looking at the titles with an 'oh well maybe not now but one day we'll win the belts' look. What are they doing?...NO...NO...WAAAH RICOCHET WITH A DOUBLE MOONSAULT AND PAC WITH A RED ARROW FROM THE TOP OF THE SCAFFOLD TO THE CRIST BROTHERS ON EACH SIDE!!!. What the hell is this match!.
PAChet risked the titles so they could give fans entertainment and their monies worth and so nice they will happily wait another day for that chance and shot and Ricochet made himself a star tonight. Maybe one day they'll win the titles but not now as Crists/PAC/Ricochet are out on the floor!. The Bucks climb back to the top of the X and are the last men standing damnit!. Bucks unh...WAIT...THERE'S STILL ONE MAN LEFT. MATT SYDAL IS ON THE OUTSIDE APRON. He's looking for what his partner tried earlier. SPRINGBOARD ON THE OUTSIDE APRON TO THE MIDDLE OF THE X...BAAAM THE BUCKS PUT OUT THEIR FEET AND NAIL SYDAL WITH A DOUBLE SUPERKICK IN MID AIR!. Probably the biggest superkick of all time as Sydal comes crashing down to the mat hard!. The Bucks are still on top of the X and unhook the belts...damnit...it's all over!. The Bucks keep the titles in an absolute war of a match. There's no way anybody thought the match would be that insane but it was. The Bucks come down to the mat and celebrate their win to both boos and cheers as bodies lie all around them. It wasn't PAChet's night or any other teams but maybe one day it will be. The Bucks add another great reign to the books making themselves even better and longer champions and didn't use/need BC's help. BC are involved with other matches themselves and don't always need to get involved in every match and there was so many people in this one it would've been silly to do that and make Bucks look weaker for needing help. Bucks walk up the ramp celebrating their victory with suck its to the crowd as we cut away, 30/40 minutes.
Singles Matchup
Uhaa Nation Vs Moose
Fans are still buzzing about our previous match but it's time to move on. Moose hasn't been here long but is undefeated and has been dominant the entire time. Uhaa has accomplished a lot but hasn't been here that long either. Moose is on a better roll right now than Uhaa but who knows what will happen because this will be Moose's toughest challenge yet. Out comes Uhaa who gets boos although he looks confident and ready. This match is more of a comedown than the last one but still big and interesting. ROH feeling in this one as Moose makes his way to the ring with fans chanting MOOSE! MOOSE! MOOSE! and he's accompanied by Veda Scott and Prince Nana(?). Moose enters the ring and the bell rings to start this match. This is kind of a dream match for all fans even though it's early in Moose's career. Maybe down the line they'll have more matches maybe even for titles but the first win is always important. Both men are just staring each other down doing nothing and this might be one of Moose's longest matches already!. Moose and Uhaa walk to the middle of the ring and face off with Moose being the taller of the two. Uhaa with a slap, Moose no sells it then Uhaa with another slap and another but Moose just smiles at him.
Uhaa with a fourth sla...Moose with an elbow taking Uhaa down to the mat fast wow!. Uhaa looks on shocked as he's on his knees with fans firmly behind Moose. Uhaa shoulder tackles Moose but he doesn't budge then tries it again and he gets nothing before trying a third time and Moose knocks him down instead!. Uhaa is pissed before distracting Moose pointing at the crowd who are chanting his name...Uhaa attacks him from behind taking him to the mat using stomps and kicks fast. Uhaa keeps attacking Moose but he just gets up pushing Uhaa off. Uhaa looks for a dropkick but Moose dropkicks him at the same time and their feet meet in the middle so no man gets it!. Uhaa backs away applauding Moose but quickly hits a twisting bicycle kick although Moose moves away in time. MOOSE WITH A DROPKICK TO UHAA TAKES HIM DOWN. Another dropkick and finally a third big dropkick before Moose picks him up nailing the military press into the running powerslam. Moose goes to the corner looking for the Spear...Uhaa moves out the way sending Moose's head into the second turnbuckle before rolling him up for not even a 1 count. Uhaa with his big dropkick to Moose takes him down before picking him up and nailing the military press and looks for the finish with the standing moonsault followed by the standing SSP.
OMG Uhaa's gonna win this...1...NO Moose kicks out at 1 and the look on Uhaa's face is pure shock!. Uhaa picks Moose up going for his signature powerbombs...once then twice before turning that into a blue thunder bomb...1...NO Moose kicks out again!. Uhaa looks pissed but picks up Moose in the Tombstone Piledriver...Moose turns it over so he has Uhaa in his own move then a Tombstone piledriver from Moose to Uhaa!. Moose goes to the corner waiting for him to get back up...BAAAM ROLLING SPEAR TO UHAA. Moose doesn't look for the cover and goes to the corner again!. Uhaa stands up...ANOTHER ROLLING SPEAR FROM MOOSE...1...2...3 DONE!. Wow another impressive victory for Moose who wanted to make sure Uhaa didn't kick out at all while delivering more damage with two rolling spears for the win, 7.5/10, 8/10 minutes. This was Moose's toughest match yet but was it that tough?. Uhaa is no joke and Moose wins pretty easily but Uhaa got some moves in so he looked ok even though he didn't win but it makes you wonder who will beat him?. Moose celebrates his victory as he walks up the rampway with fans chanting MOOSE! MOOSE! MOOSE! as we cut away.
Pick Your Poison Matchup For The OPC Title
The One Angelico Doesn't Chose Gets A Spot In The Sky Is The Limit Matchup
Angelico (c) Vs Kenny Omega or Prince Devitt
Up next is the Pick Your Poison match for the OPC title in which Angelico must pick one opponent tonight and the other will be added to the Ladder match later tonight. All three men have had confrontations with Angelico getting the best of Omega recently and the Bullet Club. Angelico hasn't been here for long but has already been a great champion while also being very popular with the fans and has that Jeff Hardy type feeling to him so he could go on to become a big star in the future and he has all the power tonight also. The Bullet Club probably won't be involved in this one either since Doc is in trouble, Anderson and Bucks must be in pain and celebrating after that match, Omega is involved here, AJ's busy in a match later tonight and BC don't have to get involved every single match or it will become too much and cliche/boring. This match is interesting and crazy because Devitt used to be the leader of the BC but AJ is currently the leader in EAM even though Omega is now the leader in NJPW and you have to wonder if Omega/Devitt would prefer to be in the Ladder match since it's for a chance to possibly become EAM Champion but that doesn't guarantee a win and this match you might win a title.
Melissa introduces Angelico who comes out getting one of the biggest cheers of the night. Angelico speaks about his time in EAM so far, how he hopes to entertain the fans tonight and hopefully have a long career before he speaks about the match tonight. Angelico: ''I have to choose an opponent to fight me tonight for my title and I have made my mind up!. I like all challenges so I have decided that my opponent for tonight will be...BOTH OF YOU!''. Wow is Angelico completely insane for picking both men even though that's the type of person he is so this means it will be a triple threat match and nobody will be added to the Ladder match tonight so that's a nice twist. Omega and Balor make their entrances and they look both annoyed because there's two people involved and they can't be in the match later but also happy because there's two people and they have a chance at the title right now!. Balor/Omega circle the ring around Angelico as the bell rings. Angelico tries to stop each man from entering but gets attacked by Omega from behind who wants his title back, LU/NJPW feeling in this one with signature/double team/finishing moves throughout. Balor/Omega double team Angelico working him down before they both try to make pins on him but pull each other off.
Omega with a leg lariat, followed by a leg drop to Balor for a 2. Balor fights back with a spinning neckbreaker and slingblade lariat for a 2 of his own. Balor looks for the running dropkick as Omega moves out the way then nails a reverse exploder suplex for a 2 count. Omega nails a cradle powerbomb to Balor for a 2 count before Balor comes back with a big dropkick sending Omega to the corner. Balor sits Omega on the top rope looking for a rana but here comes Angelico back involved in the action getting on the top rope as well?. No way...WAAAH ANGELICO REVERSE RANA'S BALOR AS BALOR RANA'S OMEGA FROM THE TOP ROPE!. Incredible move from Angelico as he pins Balor...1...2...NO before pinning Omega...1...2...NO Omega kicks out. Balor/Omega have rolled outside of the ring on one side each...ANGELICO WITH A SWANTON DIVE ONTO BALOR. Angelico runs into the ring and dives onto Omega as well...but he moves out the way in time!. Omega looks on laughing at Angelico before he spears him into the barricade wall over and over several time. Omega gets on the apron as Angelico is standing up next to it. Shooting Star Headbutt from Omega to a standing Angelico's head wow!. All these new moves we're seeing tonight and I've never seen that before. Omega is about to throw Angelico into the rin...BALOR WITH A DIVE ONTO BOTH OF THEM!.
Balor throws Angelico into the ring...1...2...Omega pulls Balor out of the ring and throws him into the crowd. Omega stands behind Angelico looking for the finish but Angelico nails a Pele kick to Omega without looking...1...2...NO. Angelico whips Omega to the corner then nails the double knees to the chest before hitting the Crucifix Powerbomb to the corner turnbuckle...1...2...BALOR WITH A DOUBLE STOMP TO ANGELICO'S BACK STOPPING THE COUNT!. Balor picks up Angelico...BLOODY SUNDAY...THAT'S IT...1...2...OMEGA BREAKS THE COUNT!. Omega back and forths with Balor before picking him up in a fallaway slam position looking to throw him over the top rope. Angelico runs at Omega...FLIP ROLLING DDT TO OMEGA AS OMEGA FALLAWAY SLAMS BALOR WOW!. Like a Canadian Destroyer but a DDT!...1...2...Omega kicks out as they are all too close to the ropes. Angelico whips Omega to one corner then Balor to the other before double kneeing both men over and over on each side as he goes to the top rope with Omega laid out in the middle of the ring but Balor is climbing the top rope as well!. Angelico and Balor both look at each other then Omega in the ring...DOUBLE FOOT STOMP FROM EACH SIDE OF THE RING TO OMEGA BUT BALOR INTENTIONALLY JUMPED LATER SO HE DOUBLE STOMPS ANGELICO'S BACK!. Balor covers Angelico...1...2...NO he kicks out. Balor picks up Angelico looking for the Reversed Bloody Sunday but Omega attacks Balor who catches him and puts Omega in a normal Bloody Sunday...no way...DOUBLE BLOODY SUNDAY FROM BALOR!.
Never seen Balor do a double before as he tries to pin Angelico but he rolls to the outside of the ring then Omega...1...2...feet on the bottom rope!.

Becky and Havok are not popular with the crowd at all while Sasha and Mickie are very popular and get cheers as they come out to Melissa's introductions.

It is now time for the Sky's the Limit Ladder match with the winner receiving an EAM Title match at Grandslam 13 and of course we know that Omega and Devitt will not be in this match so the chances are higher a little bit more for everyone else. Ambrose must be the favorite even though he just lost the title he still wants the rematch again. Speedball might also be a favorite because he's been in a roll but is it too early for him to main event a Grandslam?.
