A Supershow, Live from Cannes, France
We are only 4 days away from Supersplash IX, that will be a two nights spectacular from The United Arab Emirates. But before that, EAM Promotions swing by the international movie festival in Cannes. This has been a thing that Emil A. has wanted to do for a very long time, as his two biggest hobbies in life are movies and wrestling.
Forgot about it being 2 nights should be crazy. Stealing from WWE it seems
Show starts with Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins backstage. Rollins tell Becky that he's got some good news, as he hopes it will cheer Becky up. Seth tells Becky that he just got informed by the general manager Randy Orton that they have been granted a title shot against Keith and Nia at Supersplash! Becky replies with saying it's ok, but it's not the womens world title... We cut to the show's vignette...
Yea makes sense need opponents.
Tv Title Semi Final Matchup
Matt Buck Vs Brodie Lee
Getting down to not that many now. Both in the Enterprises remember. Both work hard beating each other down. Back and forth action from both but at the end of the match after a missed superkick Lee gets the win after the bicycle boot and Truck Driver Slam.
Tag Team Matchup
War Raiders Vs The Broserweights
Hard hitting match from both teams. Wonder who will face Private Party for the champions. Seems Heavy are the contenders right now but these two want it as well. Raider bomb but at the end it is the Broserweights getting the win after a kick and submission. We’ve also been hearing rumors of a possible new move that Heavy Machinery are planning for Supersplash if they’re in the show called the Tractor and Trailer.
Tv Title Semi Final Matchup
Jon Moxley Vs Tyler Bate
Bate loves good beating some good spots and an Airplane spin as Moxley comes back. MOX with the Death Rider Drop....
During the matchup, half of Moxley's entourage makes their way to ringside. It all ends in a catastrophe, as Darby and Jimmy throws Bate trough the announce table! Trent comes to Bate's aid, but it's already to late. The damage has been done. Moxley are Dqed for the actions of his fellow UVS members, and it seem's that he's careless about the fact. That means Tyler won the match, but will he be able to compete in the final after this? Darby and Jimmy takes out their anger on Trent as well, that has no chance! The continue the beating until security manage to get control of the situation. This is a new side of UVS. The fans boooo them, but Moxley only smiles and laughs. Moxley cut's a promo, talking about the fact that he's been thinking of cashing in The Running Mate Championship strap for a title match at Supersplash....Nahh... He will be holding on to this baby. Music then cranks the arena speakers and general manager Randy Orton walks out on the stage. Orton says he's starting to get pretty annoyed by Moxley's shenanigans and tomfoolery. So, if he's not going to cash in the title, he will have to defend it. Something he's actually been pretty good at he's gotta admit. But....He might be facing his greatest challenge yet, as he will be defending the title at Supersplash against......his friends Darby Allin and Jimmy Havoc! And to spike things up, after all it is the biggest party of the summer. It will be a falls count anywhere matchup! The falls can happen all over The United Arab Emirates!
Wow lot to take in here. Kind of weird they’d intentionally get Moxley DQ’d but I guess if they’re more heel now it makes sense and not to care and since he has another title. I wasn’t sure what was/is the final but Scurll vs MOX vs MJF was the plan but I had no intention of ever having MOX win the TV title anyway so that’s good and keeps him strong. Bate not the strongest or biggest name but different. Also since MOX has another title it makes sense for him to not win and smart move making him fight Allin/Havoc. Not sure a gimmick is needed since no rules already but could be hardcore and makes it more fun to go other places. Also no need or belt for MOX to cash in on anyway.
Singles Matchup
Allysin Kay Vs Jamie Hayter
Jamie gets the win in a solid match. Hard hitting contest. Back and forth spots also. Kay Killer for a close 2 count as well but it is Hayter Bomb that gets the pin. I thought Charlotte/Jamie were in a number 1 contender match but guess not.
We get another promotional video for Supersplash, where we get the announcement of yet a couple of new matches added to the card. The Golden Lover's will be defending their tag team titles against The Lucha Bros! And to determine the #1 contenders for the titles at Swimming With Sharks, there will be a 20-Man Cross-Brand Tag Team Ladder Match!!!
Another title match between them makes sense but was hoping the build up would go on longer. Don’t think a ladder match is needed. Had a lot of them recently and it’s overkill imo. Maybe a different type of match.
Tv Title Semi Final Matchup
Marty Scurll Vs MJF
Ooh wasn’t sure if or when they’d fight. Thought this might be the final match with MOX. Awesome match which goes a good 15 minutes. Hard action and falls from the both of them. Scurll with a Skullbreaker for a close 2. Marty already has a belt but MJF wants it bad just to send the message to Emil and how ironic would it be if MJF has the tv title and would be forced to be on TV if Emil/EAM like it or not. MJF comes back with a swanton a cravate driver...
During the matchup, The Dynasty makes their way to ringside where they do everything they can to distract Marty. But then Marty's entourage comes to the scene as well, and it turns to a scuffle between the two factions. MJF uses the commotion to his advantage....
Possible match between the teams in the future. So much going on. Scurll doesn’t and hasn’t lost much and it would be the biggest win possibly of MJF career. MJF ROLL UP....1....2....SCURLL KICKA OJT. SCURLL WITH AN ACE CUTTER...1...2...MJF KICKS OUT. The referee has sent both factions to the back and this pisses off MJF. Of course Lee is in the match so Scurll would have 2 people after the time...SCURLL BREAKER AGAIN.....1....2....3.....IT’S ALL OVER. SCURLL HAS ADVANCED. HE CELEBRATES HIS WIN.....WAIT A MINUTE....MJF’S FOOT IS ON THE ROPE...HE HAS NO IDEA...SCURLL IS CELEBRATING ON THE TOP ROPE...MJF WITH A JEW DRIVER SPANISH FLY OFF THE TOP ROPE....COVER....1....2....3...IT’S OVER WOW!. Damn it that son of a bitch has advanced!. Fans boo but very smart. Neither men are popular but MJF always has something up his sleeve. Emil and EAM are not gonna be happy with this one!. Looks like Bate vs Lee vs MJF so Scurll has another shot to get the title in his faction. Would have been nice if MJF vs Scurll vs MOX was the final but the way it works out.
Before we go to our main event we have a first ever thing here in EAM, as we have the official weigh-in on Conor and Khabib. This feels like a UFC bout, but it is happening right here in EAM! There is a lot of heat and tension between the two, and they almost attack each other during the weigh-in. Security gets in-between them and stops a fiasco. This is going to be intense!!! We cut to commercial break.
Nice build up. Some good promos from both as well.
8-Man Cross-Brand Tag Team Matchup (Non-Title)
Heavy Machinery & Lucha Bros Vs Private Party & Golden Lovers
Huge main event. All men look great. Big bumps, high flying, signature, finishing and double teaming moves from everybody involved. A good 30 minute match full of action. Lovers get close falls. Heavy look for their new finisher but it gets stopped. Lucha Bros with Packaged Piledriver and 450. Very hard to pick a winner as they’re fighting each other. So at the end as Heavy are about to nail this new finisher the Tractor and Trailer...ROLL UP 1...2....NO HEAVY ALMOST LOST AGAIN. THIS LEADS TO A HUGE BRAWL. BACK AND FORTH FROM EVERYBODY. THIS IS CRAZY. THE BELL RINGS AND THIS MATCH IS RULED A NO CONTEST. SAD BUT MAKES SENSE. The show ends with a giant brawl from all teams involved. Even the champions face off against each other. Maybe in the future the belts will merge but not yet. Nice for the show to end focusing some attention on the tag belts for once.
