EAM Tag Team Titles Match
The Young Bucks (c) Vs Samurai Del Sol & Brian Cage
HERE WE GO. PWG feeling, 10/10 and 18:23. What a way to open the PPV with this title match. Bucks have been dominant champions and have nobody else left to face apart from Cage and Sol. Bucks cheated in the other match against them and it didn't end clean. Hopefully Bucks don't cheat but if they do try to then the titles would be at risk. I doubt Emil would stand for it and strip them of the titles. This doesn't need a gimmick because they've only had one match before even though they have feuded for a while. Cage and Sol both pinned them in single matches and have looked dominant against them. If Bucks win then Cage and Sol will lose for the first ever time. Fans boo the Bucks and cheer Cage and Sol. Matt and Sol start off by taunting each other. Sol rolls through a leglock attempt and has a back and forth with Matt and multiple arm drags and ranas that eventually bring in Nick and Cage. He catches Nick with a dropkick and wheelbarrows Sol into a senton onto the Bucks. Sol hits the handspring into a headscissors, but the Bucks turn it around and take control.
Cage comes in to try and even things up, but Matt suplexes him while he has Del Sol in an Indian Deathlock!. Incredible strength from Matt. Sol fights back as fans cheer him on and hits Nick with a spinning neckbreaker...1...2...NO, he then tags Cage in, who hits a springboard dropkick and a double ace crusher to the Bucks!. Cage hits a fallaway slam on Nick into Matt in the corner. Cage military presses Nick but gets superkicked from Matt and they regain control. Nick hits a 619, Cage tries to stop it and flips to the apron, but gets dropkicked that sends him to the outside, NICK WITH A DIVING PESCADO. Matt runs and hits a cartwheel SASUKE SPECIAL BUT HITS A BACK RAKE. Fans boo as he wasted his dive for a simple back rake. Nick gets back in and dives again, right into a Manhattan Drop and CAGE SPIKES HIM ON HIS HEAD WITH A SNAPMARE DRIVER!. Matt and Sol are fighting on the other side and a HUGE SPINEBUSTER ON THE APRON. 360 kick from Nick on Cage before coming back into the ring and Cage finally makes the tag to Sol, who hits Matt with a spinning heel kick. He then ranas Nick into a spear on his brother, lands on his feet after two monkey flips, ranas both Bucks out, and HITS AN INSANE SPRINGBOARD TORNILLO!. CAGE IS IN THE RING AND HITS A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT ON ALL THREE MEN OUTSIDE!. Back in the ring, Sol stands on top of Nick and just jumps into the Yoshi Tonic...1...2...NO. Nick charges Sol looking for a lariat as he moonsaults out of it, and Cage skins the cat into a dropkick to Matt in the corner.
Sol hits a shooting star cannonball on Matt in the ring and then Cage whips Sol into a diving 450 over the ringpost onto Nick outside the ring!. Complete chaos and fans are going wild. IN THE RING, SOL RANAS NICK ON HIS HEAD!!! CAGE WITH A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT ON NICK!!! DEATH VALLEY DRIVER ON THE APRON FROM DEL SOL TO MATT!!! CAGE DIVES DOWN WITH A HEADKICK! SOL DIVES INTO A SUPERKICK FROM MATT! AND A SUPERKICK TO CAGE!. Back and forth kicks from all men before Nick and Sol throw each other outside. Cage and Matt go at it in the middle of the ring, and Cage looks much better. Cage hits the Black Magic from the top rope onto Matt. Nick climbs the top rope, but SOL KIPS UP AND BOOTS HIM IN THE FACE! Sol meets Matt and WAAAH A DIVING VICTORY ROLL FROM THE TOP ROPE!. CAGE HITS THE WEAPON X ON NICK 1...2...NO HE KICKS OUT. SOL ACCIDENTALLY HITS A SPRINGBOARD REVERSE RANA ON CAGE AND BUCKS WITH EARLY ONSET ALZHEIMER’S (THE DOUBLE SUPERKICKS)...1...2...NO!!. Bucks signal the end and hit Tandem Tombstone Piledriver on Sol and right after Nick hits a moonsault to Cage outside...1...2...SOL KICKS OUT?!. Nick kicks Cage in the face on the outside, and BAAM More Bang For Your Buck on Sol in the ring...1...2...CAGE BREAKS IT UP!. Cage picks up Nick, military presses and throws him into the damn crowd!!!. DISCUS LARIAT BY CAGE TO MATT AND SOL COVERS...1...2...NO HE KICKS OUT. Fans are chanting this is awesome and holy shit.
Matt rolls out the ring and he and Nick try and leave through the crowd but they won't let them!. Bucks run up the ramp as Sol runs out the ring, into the crowd and onto the entrance ramp stopping them. Bucks turn around and Cage picks both of them up and takes them back to the ring. All four men in the ring as Bucks hold onto the titles and plead with Sol and Cage as the fans are cheering them on. BAAAAM DOUBLE SUPERKICK FROM CAGE AND SOL TO BUCKS!. Getting revenge and giving out their own medicine!. Cage picks up Matt in a DVD position in the corner, Nick is laid out on the floor in the middle of the ring, Sol goes to the top rope and then stands on Matt's back as Cage has him in the DVD!!!. CAGE THEN MILITARY PRESSES MATT UP WHILE SOL'S STANDING ON HIS BACK. WAAAAH SOL HITS A 450 FROM MATT'S BACK ONTO NICK IN THE RING. CAGE DROPS MATT DOWN AND HITS A STANDING SHOOTING STAR PRESS. DOUBLE COVER AND THE REFEREE SAYS FUCK IT DOUBLE PIN...1...1...2...2...3...3 YES YES YES FINALLY. Bucks lose and Sol and Cage are champions. This is a main event match and it was only the first one!?. Bucks tried to cheat and failed and got double superkicked for everything they have done. Sol and Cage are insanely over and remain undefeated both as single wrestlers and a tag team. They celebrate in the ring with the titles as Cage holds Sol high above his head as we fade away.
(Thought it was finally time for different champions. Could've been a gimmick but think it was better because they have had only one match before and a normal match is more respectable and harder to gain respect from. Bucks still have a rematch clause so who knows maybe a Cage/Ladder or some other gimmick match down the line. Could've let Bucks cheat again and have another match at the next PPV in a gimmick where Cage/Sol won but it probably would've been more predictable that they'd win and don't want to stretch it out too long or let Sol/Cage look weak. Cole is doing what Bucks have been doing so don't want to do the same thing as him or make it as long as Cole has been cheating for. Even though all of them cheating and it coming to an end at the same time could be a good idea and may happen tonight with Cole. Both teams looked good though and Sol/Cage more dominant.)
Throughout the night we get interviews with wrestlers backstage asking them if they think they'll be in the gauntlet tonight and what their chances are.
We go backstage for an interview with Ricochet. He speaks about how he hopes to win tonight and that his number is high but wants it to be low as well so he can last longer and prove himself. He says that he believes he is one of if not the best high flyer in the world and a title will make that statement even more true.
We then get an interview with ACH and he says that he hopes the tombola has his number and that he can become A-Show champion. He says this is a huge chance for him and everyone on all rosters because if you become champion then you are going to move brand as well. As he speaks, Randy Orton comes from behind and laughs at ACH. He says that ACH isn't even confirmed for tonight's match and that Orton is last place. Orton says even if ACH was in the match he wouldn't stand a chance and Orton would beat him again. He then says that even though he wants to be EAM World Champion, the KOTC title is still important and maybe he can hold both titles at the same time. ACH doesn't back down and insults him by saying that he only won because Ambrose/Angle care more about each other and he got off lucky. ACH/Orton have a stare down before ACH walks away...ORTON ATTACKS ACH FROM BEHIND!. What the hell is this!?. Orton throws ACH into some metal sheets and boxes. BAAAM RKO ON THE CONCRETE FLOOR. Orton then cockily walks off and says 'you have a lot to learn kid, never turn your back on a Viper'. Orton may have just ruined ACH's chances!.
Pride Title Matchup
Prince Devitt (c) Vs Karl Anderson
I'm not sure that this match will touch the first one but it should still be good. Devitt has been dominant and by far the best on the Pride roster. Anderson has been number three behind King but finally tonight gets his chance. 8/10, 11:23, NJPW feeling in this one and more of a comedown for the previous match. They start slow, Devitt looks for a jumping spin kick that Karl avoids. Karl goes for a big chop against the ropes but just pats Devitt on the chest. Devitt causes a distraction allowing for a foot stomp. Devitt locks in an abdominal stretch and followed by a dropkick. Anderson begins fighting back and hits a top rope elbow for a 2. Devitt gets the advantage again and hits a dive to the floor onto Karl, a running dropkick to the back of Karl in the ring and corner, followed by a double stomp from the top...1...2...NO. Devitt with an inverted suplex and looks for another double stomp but Karl moves out the way in time. Anderson hits a big dropkick and applies the STF but Devitt makes the ropes.
Karl looks for a running splash in the corner but Devitt blocks it and looks for the tombstone and Anderson reverses it with the Spinning Spinebuster 1...2...NO. Anderson is in control and hits a backbreaker, brainbuster and a neckbreaker for a 2. Anderson signals the end with the Gun Stun but Devitt pushes him off, rolls him up and gets a 2. Devitt looks for the DDT finisher but Anderson hits the Swivel Gun Stun...1...2...NO. Anderson irish whips Devitt to the corner and looks for a big boot but Devitt comes under it and hits the Reverse Bloody Sunday...1...2...NO he kicks out somehow. Anderson charges at Devitt in a final attempt but Devitt blocks it and hits his finisher the Bloody Sunday...1...2...3!. Devitt gets the win and Anderson still tried his best. Devitt celebrates in the ring with his title and points up in the sky at the structure and signals that he's going to leave with two belts.
(Pretty obvious he was going to win and Anderson looked ok. Not the greatest match but it doesn't need to be because Devitt can't look weak or vulnerable and he has another match tonight so it can't be that long of a match.)
We go backstage with Eddie Kingston. He speaks about how he's had a downer recently and that he hopes he can turn things around and leave with the A-Show belt. He then says he's gonna fu*k things up and hopes he can get his hands on Orton but he'd be happy with beating the shit out of Adam Cole.
We get a final interview with Kevin Steen and he is happy. He says that Cole's horrible reign is finally over and hopes that he's in the roulette tonight. He then keeps on insulting Cole and calls him a coward and hopes he literally dies tonight!. Cole walks in and starts laughing. He's pissed about tonight but insults Steen and asks him if he will even fit in the tombola?. Cole then continues to mock him and says that he will win tonight and prove that he is a great wrestler and that he never runs away. Cole then says he hopes Steen is and isn't in it because it would be hilarious if he wasn't and Cole somehow did lose and Steen wasn't the guy to beat him or that if Steen is involved then someone else or Cole will beat him. Cole/Steen have a staredown with Steen then getting the last words by saying 'even if I'm not in the match tonight Cole...I still have a way of beating you and/or becoming champion by the end of the night'. Cole storms off as Steen laughs at him.
As it is time for The Gauntlet Roulette match a strange structure is lowered down from the ceilling. It looks like a big round tombola. With a hole in the bottom, fitting right over the ring. The ring is now surrounded by this strange round cage who is made entirely out of steel. The ramp from the stage is changed with some kind of slide, who ends in the cage, as a door opens in the cage when a new participant is about to enter. The announcers make some wise cracks about how chairman Emil A. always gotta have a theme to everything when Emil A.s music cranks the arena speakers. Adam Cole is already in the ring, getting ready, if that is possible under such circumstances. The King of The Canvas Title is draped over a pedestal who is placed in front of the announcers tables. Emil A. makes his way to the stage where he addresses the crowd and wonder if they have a good time. He gets big pop and massive cheers from the audience. He cut's right to the chase.
'Before I get to what I was going to originally ONLY say...I have some news. Because of Randy Orton's actions earlier in the night which were completely unacceptable, I have decided that Orton won't be removed from this match but because he's been so cocky and arrogant about being the last entrant...well what if he wasn't?...so Orton will now NOT be last and will be put in the tombola with the other confirmed entrants!.'
As you all know he was originally scheduled to be the first participant in this match, but. Since the revenge already is served, he looks at going into that ring as a waste, so he will replace himself with another guy. A guy who's always impressed him. A guy who still impressed to this day. And he's been holding a world title for almost a year now. Sooooo..... with further ado. Your first opponent in The Gauntlet Roulette is
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyyzTSW3qT0
It is time for our main event or events. The huge news that Carlito now replaces Emil and Orton will not be the last entrant but will be involved earlier in the match. The fans are still shocked from the news that just took place as fans cheer for Carlito as he comes down the ramp. Can Cole survive this match?. He must win 10 matches against several confirmed and unconfirmed wrestlers. Nobody can prepare themselves for a match like this. Steen wants him but he might not even be in this match but said he might end up being champion at the end. All kinds of matches and good guys vs bad guys will happen and all for the KOTC title belt. Devitt has wrestled not long ago so that might change things for him. 10/10, PWG/ROH/WWE feeling and this entire match probably lasts over an hour. No DQ in this one and the Cage will keep Cole from running away and can also be used. It has a ramp slide that comes down from the entrance tron to the ring which is like a long archway tunnel but made of a cage tombola and a door near the entrance ramp with a lock on it so the people that get eliminated can leave that way.

Adam Cole (c) Vs Carlito
Well, here we go and what a main event it is. Many people have chances tonight and some people that didn't represent brands at the last PPV may have a chance to shine. Back and forth match from both men and they are on the same level because it is the first match. Signature moves attempted throughout this one and Carlito has a huge chance and could even hold two title belts at the end of this. Carlito with a shocking early Backstabber for a very close 2. Cole with a dropkick and elbow for a 2 also. Cole's friends the Bucks got beaten earlier so will Cole's time come to an end as well. Cole is a great wrestler but loves being cocky and arrogant. The tombola is around the ring but similiar to the Hell in a Cell. Cole irish whips Carlito into the steel side. It's a different structure with more poles and pipes than steel mesh so it can be used to climb if needed.
Cole rubs Carlito's face onto the cage and grinds his body into it as well before throwing him back inside the ring. Carlito with a quick DDT for a 2. Carlito hits a side russian and backbreaker for another 2. Carlito looks for a headlock but Cole reverses out of it with an armdrag.

Cole looks for a superkick but Sheamus catches him in a powerbomb position and throws him over the top rope but both men go over. Sheamus has hurt his leg it seems after the fall and Cole goes to work on it. Cole uses the cage wall to attack his leg over and over. He stretches it around the ringpost as well. This is also a good thing for Cole so he can get more focused. Cole continues to work on Sheamus' leg for the next couple of minutes around the ring before putting him in a tree of woe upside down on the cage.

We hear the music and drumroll as Cole is on his knees. HOLY SHIT NO WAY IT'S ORTON!!! RANDY ORTON IS HERE!. Cole's face just drops as fans boo Orton. Both of these men are not liked but Orton's an even bigger asshole than him!.

Good lord, Ricochet came so close but Orton got up in time and caught him with an RKO as he hit the double moonsaults!. Ricochet is practically dead in the ring and officials have to help him up and out of the cage. Orton is recovering but having a difficult time. The music and drumroll plays again...OH SHIT IT'S STEEN IT'S KEVIN STEEN!. HE'S IN IT!!!. He finally has a chance to win the title and Cole's not the champ. That is sad in some ways but hilarious!. Steen appears as Orton stands up in the middle of the ring.
Gauntlet Roulette Matchup For The King Of The Canvas Title
Randy Orton (c) vs Kevin Steen
Steen comes down the slide and enters the ring with Orton. Steen is now so close away from winning the KOTC title and needs two wins. Steen goes after Orton. Sidewiner suplex for a 2 count. The refs are still trying to help Ricochet out of the ring after that fall and Steen hits Orton with a back senton. Orton fights back with a dropkick. Steen only fires up and hits a samoan drop for a 2. Wait a minute...we've just received word that something is happening backstage. We go backstage and holy shit it's complete chaos. Uhaa Nation has been wiped out by the Wyatt Family. WAAAAH KANE JUST THREW WILLIE MACK THROUGH A GLASS WINDOW. OFFICIALS AND REFS ARE TRYING TO RESTORE ORDER. Wrestlers are everywhere fighting. It's like another turmoil but backstage!. People are fighting over being in the turmoil and numbers and we have three brands backstage remember. People are not friends. We see multiple camera angles and it's chaos backstage.
Ambrose and Angle are fighting in the parking lot!. ANGLE SLAM ON TOP OF A CAR. Emil gets involved and oh god he just got knocked down by the Wyatt family. Mickie then gets involved trying to help Emil but SHE JUST GOT KNOCKED DOWN. HER HEAD JUST HIT THE CONCRETE HARD. Emil is up and checking on Mickie and picks her up and takes her out of the building. Foley/Kennedy and Daniels are fighting as well. We hear women screams, camera men are being knocked down the building is being destroyed!. THE INMATES ARE RUNNING THE ASYLUM. Back in the ring both Steen/Orton have been distracted by what's happening and then wrestlers are fighting in the crowd!. Bucks/Sol/Cage are in the crowd and Sol just climbed up the tombola cage. WAAAH SPLASH FROM SOL OFF THE TOP WIPING THEM OUT. PAC/Omega/Benjamin/Crimson/Quackenbush/Cabana/Hero are fighting behind the announcers table in the crowd!.
Orton and Steen know they've got to focus on what's going on and Orton from behind with an RKO but Steen pushes him off. WAIT ADAM COLE'S MUSIC JUST STARTED PLAYING AND STEEN HAS BEEN DISTRACTED. Steen shakes it off and knows he can't be distracted...Orton from behind but Steen reverses it. COLE'S ON THE RAMP AND STEEN SEES IT. He's just corpses and ORTON FROM BEHIND ROLL UP...1...2...3!. Orton eliminates Steen because of Cole!. He gets revenge for earlier and Steen gets humiliated again!. Fans give out a huge boo and the music and drumroll is happening again and Cole's music is playing!?. HE'S NUMBER 10!?. I guess his name could be in the tombola or he could be cashing in his rematch right now?. There's so many people fighting and have been taken out so that means less names available for the match. Maybe Cole got in that way as well but regardless Steen is shocked and runs up the entrance ramp but Cole has now somehow wiggled his weight to climb through on top of the tombola!.
Steen is stuck at the entrance ramp looking up at Cole on top of the tombola. Cole then starts climbing the arch way tombola down to the ring before he climbs on top of the tombola above the ring. Steen then runs down the rampway trying to get back in the ring but the door is open and officials are grabbing him trying to get him out. Wrestlers are fighting all around the building as well remember. Cole because he's so small actually climbs down from the top of the tombola and into the ring!. Steen is being forced out the cage and referee's are trying to control him. Cole climbs down the inside of the tombola wall. Steen is now outside the cage trying to break in through the door but the refs have locked it. Only one way out. Steen tries to climb the side of the tombola wall but can't get a grip to climb because it's a tombola and not really meant for climbing. Even if he did then he wouldn't be able to fit through the top but I guess Cole vs Orton is our final match!.

Randy Orton (c) Vs Adam Cole
Cole is behind Orton now but Orton then gets distracted because ACH has came out to try and calm the situation. Orton tells ACH to piss off and leave. ACH then gets offended and tries to break in the cage as well!. PAC and Jeff Hardy are fighting with others in the crowd and now climb the tombola top. WAAAAH SWANTON BOMB BY JEFF TAKES OUT TRENT?/SYDALS/NESE AND MORE!. PAC WITH A SHOOTING STAR PRESS OFF THE TOMBOLA CAGE BUT HE JUMPS OVER THE ANNOUNCERS TABLE INTO THE CROWD TAKING OUT MANY PEOPLE. THIS IS INSANITY. COLE FROM BEHIND ROLL UP ON ORTON...1...2...3 HE GOT IT!!!. COLE HAS DONE IT. HERE IS YOUR WINNER OF THE GAUNTLET ROULETTE AND NEW/STILL KOAC CHAMPION ADAM COLE!. Did he lose it!?. I guess since he came in as champion and left as champion it means he defended it and the title change didn't matter?. It was a match so technically he did lose the belt but it was the stipulation so maybe he still is the champion and Orton's reign wouldn't count or go in the record books?. He still looked amazing and dominant though.
Cole still isn't right from earlier and Orton is shocked. Orton looks at ACH and he laughs. Orton LAYS OUT COLE WITH AN RKO and goes to the door trying to get out. The fans are cheering 'holy shit', 'this is awesome' and even the announcers have left because of the danger. Hold on...Cole is out in the ring and has won the Roulette. Steen then realizes this...he then starts relaxing and speaking to an official but we can't hear what he's saying. THE DOOR HAS BROKE. ACH AND ORTON START BRAWLING INTO THE CROWD AND STEEN CAN GET IN. HE'S CASHING IN!!!. Steen enters the cage but can't find a referee because of the madness. He grabs a referee and tells him what he's doing. He doesn't have the case on him of course but the referee says ok. Wrestlers are fighting everywhere, backstage, in the crowd!. Steen quickly runs down to the ring but all of this has taken time and Cole has rolled out of it. Steen then goes after Cole outside the ring but Cole is climbing the cage!.
Steen is following as well and has grabbed a hold of Cole's trunks!. HAHA THIS IS AWESOME FANS ARE LOVING IT. COLE KICKS AWAY AT STEEN'S FACE AS HE'S AT THE TOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TOMBOLA AND CLIMBS THROUGH!. NO NO NO. Steen has to let go and Cole has wiggled his way through the top and the same way he came through!. Steen drops down and just has a shocked sad look on his face. Adam Cole stands above the tombola top and starts crying with laughter pointing at Steen. He points down and calls Steen fat and if he was smaller he could get through!. Cole puts the belt over his head and puts his arms out like he's Jesus Christ. Wrestlers are still fighting and announcers aren't even speaking because they have left.
This is a rare occasion with all wrestlers/officials/referee's in the crowd and backstage. Cole then climbs up the tombola towards the entrance way and then climbs on top of the tron because its connected to the tombola. Steen is on his knees in the ring and a tear comes down his cheek. The show ends with Adam Cole standing on top of the tron, holding his belt high and we see a shot of a sad Steen on his knees in the ring and in utter disbelief. Who the hell thought this was gonna happen!?. Kevin Steen has been humiliated once again and Cole gets away under the match we thought he couldn't get away from. How and when will this end!?. We fade to black.
BREAKING NEWS FROM THE EAM WEBSITE: After the show has ended and later in the night, we have received word that Kevin Steen has sent an email/tweet to EAM and Adam Cole saying that he wants time at the end of A-Show this week with Cole and hopes that Emil and EAM will give him that. He also promises that nothing will happen and he just wants to talk with Cole.
(Wanted to give some people chances here that weren't in the brand war last month, thought Orton being in the middle would be better so he can be dominant instead of just being in one match at the end and losing. Thought it was a good idea so Cole/Steen can continue because I have a plan for them. Bit of everything in this match and wanted to get the roster involved and make it a crazy ending. Reason Cole was number 10 is because of the craziness and less names would be able to compete but also because he could rematch/cash in and his name could still be in the tombola because he was the champ going in so his name originally wasn't. Hopefully you can let me write something with Cole and Steen at the end of A-Show this week. I have a plan for both of them, if you are ok with it.)
