Live from Hammerstein Ballroom, New York
Show starts with a small recap from the supershow last week, where NEW EAM Tag Team Champions was crowned in surprisingly matter. We are only a couple of weeks away from the end of season 15 and then Grandslam 16. It's weird how fast this season has went by. Here is for many more seasons! We cut to the Jamboree vignette...
Singles Matchup
Pentagon Jr. Vs Chavo Guerrero
Fun match between the two of them. Chavo with some good high flying spots. Pentagon with an armbar and back suplex. Chavo with a frogsplash. At the end of the match Pentagon Packaged Piledriver gets the 3 count and win.
After the match, whoever wins it. Rey Fenix enters the scene and manage to unmask Pentagon in the middle of the ring! Pentagon covers his face but Rey slides out of the ring. The bellkeeper gongs on the bell to make them stop, but Rey grabs the bell and slides back into the ring. He wastes no time, beating Pentagon up with the bell, screaming Zero Miedo for each time he hits Pentagon with the bell. He continues until security surrounds the ring, but by that time he's managed to hit Pentagon at least twenty times with the ringbell. He drops it and spits on Pentagon who wiggles around in pain on the canvas before leaving the ring to massive booo's from the audience. EMT's runs down to the ring to check on Pentagon, and one of the ring crew guys throws him a towel to hide his face as we cut to commercials....
Thought the feud was okay but kind of makes sense I guess. Pentagon must be protected though. Mask is more important to him than Fenix.
Tag Team Matchup
The North Vs The Dynasty (Hammerstone & Holliday)
Dynasty get the win in this one after some solid spots. Back and forth from the both of them. Signature moves also. North look okay but just not enough for the win. Dynasty Driver wins it.
We go backstage where we hook up with former EAM Tag Team Champions, Triple C and AJ Styles, as they are arguing in their locker room. AJ blames Claudio for being out of focus, but Claudio says it's AJ who's out of focus, as he's been sidelined by what happened with him, Moxley and General Manager Randy Orton. They continue arguing until AJ is the bigger man, telling Claudio to focus, since they got a rematch for the titles tonight. They can still make it to Grandslam as champions, but both men needs to focus!
Guess they’d be arguing but maybe not. Rematch yes.
Singles Matchup
Ricochet Vs Will Ospreay
Fast paced non stop spot fest from all. High flying, signature and finishing moves. Essex Destroyer and a Flippo. At the end of the match is Will’s 630 that gets the 3 count.
We get a backstage segment from the locker room of John Morrison and Taya Valkyrie, the current Intergender Tag Team Champions, and Taya tell JoMo that she actually gotta admit that these titles looks pretty awesome. Maybe there is something in what he said after all. They can easily bring the prestige of those titles up pretty easily. Just look at the other couples that roams the hallways around here (Taya refers to Kross and Bordeaux with this remark, as she would never dare to talk shit about Emil A. and Mickie) JoMo says he will mark this day, as it's never happened before that Taya has agreed with him on something. Taya turns towards him and smiles, telling him that it's not going to be habit...
More build.
EAM Television Championship Matchup
David Benoit (c) Vs Dominik Dijakovic
As the match goes on, Dominik dominates, and it seems as David is going to lose as Dominik put him in a sleeper hold. But the hold is released when Dominik gets smacked in the head by a chair from Chavo Guerrero. Carlito also appears, and together they beat down dominik before dragging David out of the ring. The match is ruled a DQ win to Dominik, but the title does not change hands. David is a bit pissed, but it seems Chavo and Carlito actually saved him tonight.
Hmm interesting. Thought the feud was over. Just keeps going on. Weird they’d save him.
EAM Tag Team Championship Matchup
Freaks Among Monsters (c) Vs Phenomenal Supermen
Awesome match once again. Good back and forth action from all involved. High flying, signature and finishing moves. Cesaro is furious for sure. Multiple uppercuts. They look more focused than last week. Styles with a Spiral Tap for a 2. 5 Stars Lars for a 2 count. Braun with an xbomb. Xplex and an exploder for a 2. Cesaro with a Neutraliser for a 2. At the end of the match FAM nail a double powerbomb into each other. The final ending and pin comes when Styles looks for the Styles Clash but The Freak Accident gets the 3 count!. FAM have pinned each man now in each match.
After the matchup Freaks Among Monsters cut's a promo, telling everyone about the new era, and how long determined work really pays off in the end. But pretty quick the promo gets interrupted by War Raiders who walks out on the stage waving with a big Norwegian Flag. They tell Braun and Lars they wanted to be the first ones to congratulate them on becoming EAM Tag Team Champions. It certainly means they will be defending them at the grandest stage of them all, Grandslam. Then it dawned on them, since Grandslam 16 will be from Emil A.'s home country of Norway, the land of the vikings. What better opponents than yours truly Hanson and Rowe? This weeks show ends with War Raiders waving the Norwegian flag on the stage, while Braun and Lars raises the EAM Tag Team Championship high above their heads as their music cranks the arena speakers...
Yea guess it makes sense. Maybe not the biggest of matches but the story and Vikings/Raiders is clever. Could even make it a flag match of need a gimmick but might not be needed. Think they feuded in Pride.
