Live from Hammerstein Ballroom, New York
Show starts with MJF hogging the limelight, cutting a promo where he rants about how Eli Drake only won last week because he cheated! Then he goes on asking what the hell DDP does in EAM anyways, have the guards at the door taken on a vacation or what? He then gets interrupted by Eli Drake who walks out on the stage with his custom made belt. He tells MJF to shut up and listen, if he knows whats good for him. The point of the fact is, or whatever the hell it’s called, is that nobody likes MJF anymore. His empire has fallen, and he is clinging to the last piece of dignety left. Even go as far as to clame your opponent are cheating when you are beaten fair and square and clean. You know what? To prove you wrong, once again, Eli will put his title on the line in tonights main event. And to make sure nobody can cheat or get help in any way, why not do it inside an old fashioned Steel Cage huh? We cut to the Jamboree vignette....
Should be good.
EAM Television Title Matchup
WALTER (c) Vs Seth Rollins
Awesome match of course. 30 minutes of long back and forth action. At the end of the match a Gonzo Bomb on the back of the head and neck for the victory win and 3 count.
We go backstage where we catch up with EAM World Heavyweight Champion; MJF, who's calling up someone on his cellphone. But nobody answers. He curses to himself, then calls another number, but no answer there either. MJF curses, louder this time, before throwing the cellphone in anger at the wall, instantly regretting his actions as the cellphone scatters in hundred pieces.....
Hmm no idea. After a longtime of no creative you kind of change opinions and thoughts on people et cetera so it’s weird. Some people you care about less, some you care about more and some you don’t care about at all.
Singles Matchup
AJ Styles Vs Orange Cassidy
Styles Clash gets the win. Cassidy takes a loss. He looks frustrated.
After the match, Styles are approached by Danhausen once again backstage at the Gorilla position, where Danhausen praises Styles and his Phenomenality. Styles are starting to get a big annoyed by all this, but plays along, for now. Danhausen asks many silly questions, for example if its possible to learn how to be so Phenonemal etc. He then asks if there is possible for him and Styles to maybe team up, not necessearily for more than one match, but it would be a great honor, not to meantion it would be very, very educational for Danhausen. Styles sighs. Do he have an alternative? We cut to a commercial for the upcoming PPV, which will be the 6th installment in EAM's Gauntlet Roulette series. But as we already know, this time it will be for the EAM Tag Team Championships! We already now the main event, sort of, but there sure might be some surprises yet. And just to spice things up a bit, there wont be room for all tag teams in EAM to participate. And this upcoming match tonight is a reminder of this.
Should be cool and interesting.
Tag Team Matchup - Losing Team Does Not Get A Spot in The Gauntlet Roulette
Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford) Vs FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dash Harwood)
Pretty solid match from both teams, but the end may be in a shocking way Tez is taken out through the announce table with a double team move and Angelo is pinned. After the match Tez apologises but Angelo beats the shit out of him with the rest of the announce table, what the hell is going on?. Looks like this team is having problems and might be over.
After the match, we can see Angelo Dawkins entering the office door of GM Randy Orton, just like we saw Ford do last week. What is going on? We cut to another commercial, this time promoting the other upcoming PPV that will take place during the same weekend as Gauntlet Rooulette 6, and that is offcourse " Cutting The Ace " and we see some of the matches that's already scheduled for the show. But then the promo gets interrupted by this;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ0JTjt-cys . and ends with the written message " Now let's CUT the Crap! See you all in Philly! " We then cut back to the arena for our next matchup of the evening.
I just want a single solo face Montez. I think he has huge potential and has, for years, maybe put him with Bianca eventually. Good build promo.
Singles Matchup
Chad Gable Vs Rex Steiner
Solid match. Rex gets the win after a devastating spear. He cuts a promo on everyone in the locker room and then says and announces that his name is now BRON STEINER and that’s what everyone will call me going forward or we will have trouble. We then see Paul Heyman creeping out of a hole/curtain near the backstage area and smiling at him…hmm. New Paul Heyman guy coming?. (By the way I’ve wanted a stable with Bron/Gunther/Trick Williams/Jaida Parker/Roxanne Perez/Lash Legend/Sol Ruca and Oba Femi since Wrestlemania. Maybe called House of Heyman/the Wise Guys or the New New World Order/Next World Order.)
As our main event is about to start, we go backstage where we once again hook up with EAM World Heavyweight Champion; MJF. He's in his locker room, and is about to un-box a new cellphone when one of the staff-members comes bursting trough the locker room door, telling him that he's already late for his match. Everyone is waiting. MJF just snorts, and says, " Let them wait " he never asked for that match, it was all Eli's idea. He will get out there, once he gets this new cellphone started....
Steel Cage Matchup for The " Greatest " Championship
Eli Drake (c) Vs MJF
Solid match but Drake gets the win after a top of the cage swanton fallaway dvd bomb. Huge win for Drake and now he surely gets a title match. Drake escaped over the top but didn’t pin him.
