DAMAGE INC. vs. ¡EXPLOSIVO! & KING NAISER Both members of Damage, Inc. looked 100% serious as they stomped their way towards the ring. Their run of poor form had to end tonight, they vowed, against the two newest members of the (R)W roster. To their credits, neither EXPLOSIVO nor King looked overawed by the moment. To their detriment, Yoshida and Watanabe jumped them at the bell, Yoshiko slinging the luchador over the top rope to the floor and violently whipping him into the guardrail. This left Naiser and Shizuka to start the match. The 6’7” King posed problems for Yoshida early on, allowing him to execute his basic game, including a big boot and a DDT for two that was saved by Watanabe. The two members of Damage, Inc. took advantage of the situation by double-teaming, executing a double-team backbreaker and other roughhouse tactics. EXPLOSIVO got up from the prematch attack, and grabbed hold of the tag rope, bouncing up and down on the ring apron excitedly awaiting the tag. Damage Inc pressed their advantage, until King ducked under a big Watanabe lariat, and scored with a huge samoan drop! It bought him enough time to tag in EXPLOSIVO, who leaped over the top rope and dropkicked Watanabe in one movement! Yoshida ran in as well, but EXPLOSIVO cut her off with a big running low dropkick to the knees as the crowd went crazy. He began to hold off both members of Damage, Inc, with big dropkicks and huracanranas, sending the two Japanese competitors scattering in opposite directions. As a plan, it worked pretty well, until Yoshida and Watanabe managed to corner the luchador in the corner, and began to pound away! Naiser re-entered the ring, and delivered a big boot to Watanabe, trying to buy EXPLOSIVO some more time. Yoshida, however, leveled King with a vicious Uraken! Naiser’s body went tumbling into the ropes, and Shizuka creamed him with a second that sent him careening out through the ropes to the floor. With EXPLOSIVO alone, he was able to dodge the pair for a bit, but soon, they had him in their clutches, lifting him overhead to hit the Death From Above for an academic three count and a much needed victory for Damage, Inc. WINNER: DAMAGE INC

ANNA GIOVANNA & JACKIE THE LAD vs. DAMON ALEXANDER & SIMON RAINES The fans were on their feet for this one before it even began. Simon started up against Jackie, with (R)Evo’s house underdog actually getting the advantage, with a dazzling series of kicks effectively limiting Jackie’s ninja like dodging abilities, and forcing him back to his corner for a very quick tag out to Anna. Giovanna came in strong, her puro style serving her well in the opening, only for Simon to counter back out of nowhere with the Cut Off At The Khyber Pass, and getting the tag to Damon. From there, the fledgling tag team but on a show in the art of tag wrestling, keeping each other fresh, and hitting Anna just hard enough to keep her off balance. Jackie was practically begging for the tag in, but Anna blew him off, insisting she was more than capable of taking care of the “losers”, only to be taken down with a Careless Whisper for her trouble. Simon tagged back in, and with Damon hit Giovanna with a Double DDT. The referee came to escort Damon out of the ring, and whilst his back was turned, Anna struck with a quick knee to Simon’s nethers, with even Jackie wincing on the outside, doubling him over. She almost seemed to whisper sorry into his pained face, before turning and taking him down with a Bulldog, before diving forward and letting Jackie tag in. Jackie sprints across the ring, shoulder barging Damon off the apron, before rebounding back and hitting Simon with a CURBSTOMP, quickly following up with the three count. WINNER: ANNA GIOVANNA & JACKIE THE LAD We go backstage, and sitting in front of a specially brought-in vanity in her private locker room is the one and only "Supermodel Submission Specialist" Venus. She is sitting in front of the vanity mirror, fixing her hair before she smirks and picks up the cellphone beside her on the table, holding it up in front of her as if she is taking a selfie. But instead, we find she is filming a video. Venus: I know, you're all dying to know why I interfered last Monday in Angela Jameson's match on the EXPRO show. Well, plain and simple? Angela Jameson is a glory hog. You heard me right, she's a glory hog. She wants to take all the attention and the admiration away from those who actually deserve it....like myself. And you know what? I'd do it again too. Venus smirks, flipping her length of hair over her shoulder before blowing a kiss into the camera. Venus: Angela is a glory hog because she knows. She knows - deep down inside - that I'm much prettier, more talented, and will go far more places in this business and any other business out there than she ever did. And if you think for one second that I'm going to make that godawful faux pas of zubaz in Japan? You are so wrong. I actually have class and taste, unlike the rest of these.....peasants around here. So now you know and Angela?" Venus smirks again before she glares into the camera lens. Venus: Watch your back.....trainer, because unlike me, I'm not sure you can #HANDLEIT. We go back to ringside.

ANDERSON COBALT vs. WEAPON With the bell rung, both competitors begun circling each other. They locked up, with Anderson coming out the victor. From this point, the pair started a technical showcase, showing off their complete array of Suplexes, Hip Tosses and DDTs, neither one really coming out in front of the other. It wasn’t until WEAPON lost her footing on a vertical suplex, allowing Cobalt to reverse it into a Crossbody, that any momentum was decided, with Anderson quickly using his weight to keep WEAPON grounded, applying a series of Armbars and Ankle Locks to try and impede his opponent’s movement. Taking her by the mask, he hauled his smaller opponent to her feet, before pulling her across his shoulders. As he seemed to be setting up for the Desert Flat, he suddenly brought his hand to the his head, wincing in pain as he fell to his knees, allowing WEAPON to slip off of him. She looked about a moment, seemingly unsure on whether or not to continue, before locking in The Power Of Love, with Anderson tapping out before the move was even fully locked in. Whether it was in anticipation for the move coming, or whatever was wrong with his head, nobody knows. WEAPON quickly released the hold, staying with Anderson until the medical staff came down to escort him to the back. WINNER: WEAPON We find the cameras outside the new (R)Evolution Dojo building in San Diego when suddenly a couple of cars pull up to the building and park. These two simple cars reveal that slowly sliding out from the vehicles happen to be an entourage of people led by none other than the newest EXODUS star, the entity known as "mara." Clad in a long flowing skirt akin to what a hippie would wear, a black t-shirt, and some sandals, she finds herself accompanied by the Daughters of Janus behind her and the woman that seemed to be constantly tweeting at her over the weekend at her side, her head bowed. Greeting her at the entrance is Tom Matheny who stops and glances at her. The exchanged is punctuated by uncomfortable silence, followed by a few awkward glances at each other. Tom Matheny: Mara. mara: Thomas. How are your parents? Tom Matheny: They're...good...? mara: You should call them. A mother hates it when her child doesn't check in every now and then. You've been doing that since you and my brother mine were sneaking into movie theaters to see really bad films. Really, you two snuck into Wayne's World. Couldn't wait on that one, Thomas? Tom Matheny: We were fans! mara: You just admitted to the world you find Mike Myers hilarious. You should be ashamed of yourself. Tom Matheny: ..... Mara smiles and cups his cheek. mara: I love you too, Thomas. And I do! That's why I'm here tonight, Thomas...to spread love. There isn't enough of it in this company, haven't you noticed? Everyone is so angry and aggressive, and I'm here to fix that. Look at how much love I bring? Vivienne wants to love people. NoVaK just wants to be loved. My lovely Athena and Minvera just want to bring love! And my poppet here? She's so full of love. Tom Matheny: What about this "uroboros" you keep speaking of bringing, and you said on Twitter last night you have a gift for Sydney Christensen? Mara smiles thoughtfully at what Tom has mentioned, grinning a little before tapping his nose with her finger. mara: Patience, mon amour. Timing is everything, my beautiful friend...and tonight is all about timing. In the meantime, I'm going to go take a seat. There's a lot of things I want to see tonight. The entity smiles and leans up to kiss Matheny on the cheek before smiling in an almost eerie fashion before she walks off, along with her trio of "daughters" while singing. mara: Oh sweet ignition, be my fuse; you have no choice, you have to choose. Bid farewell to yesterday; say goodbye, I'm on my way. But in the end, we all come from what's come before...so here I go.... And with that, we cut away.

TRIPLE THREAT CTHULHU JONES vs. GOTHRA vs. NoVaK On paper, this was perhaps the oddest match ever to grace an (R)W ring. In one corner was the hardboiled detective/Harbinger of the Apocalypse, Cthulhu Jones. Across the ring from him was the bizarre NoVaK, one of Mara’s key lieutenants. Meanwhile, staring at both figures with great interest was GOTHRA. Emi Watanabe stood outside the ring, for once, the sight before her keeping her silent, except for the occasional “what the fuck?” muttered under her breath. Given their opponent was a multi-ton kaiju, NoVaK and Cthulhu entered an uneasy truce, as both launched forth with a big assault, only for a tail whip from GOTHRA to knock both off their feet! NoVaK was up almost immediately, cocking his head to one side as he tried to figure out how to deal with the only entity in (R)W stranger than he was. Cthulhu Jones,meanwhile, launched himself at the kaiju, bouncing off of her and leaving him very confused. They tried one more charge, only to fall victim to a lunging double-wing lariat from the kaiju! Safely up the aisle, the Cosmos Fairies cheered GOTHRA on, as she quickly hopped out to the ring apron, and climbed to the top rope. The Cosmos Seal was on the cards, but as she leaped for the 450 double stomp, NoVaK log-rolled out of the way. GOTHRA tried to stick the landing, but the impact buckled her knees. Seeing a weakness, both NoVaK and Cthulhu lunged, grabbing hold of one of GOTHRA’s mammoth legs each, and locking in a double kneebar! The mighty Kaiju yelled in pain, but the official couldn’t register a verdict, even if she submitted, and so he broke the hold. With GOTHRA temporarily disabled, Cthulhu Jones seized the initiative, flooring NoVaK with the Gumshoe for a close two count! Things looked bleak for the Supernova, but just as it looked like all was lost, NoVaK rolled out of the ring, and slugged Emi Watanabe in the face! Emi hopped up on the apron, enraged, looking to try and tear NoVaK’s head off. Confusion, though, soon gave way to understanding for the crowd. As the official dealt with the rampaging Watanabe, NoVaK quickly turned, spewing green mist in Cthulhu’s face! The quick spurt of mist from NoVaK blinded the detective, and left him susceptible to a lightning fast schoolboy rollup from the Supernova. The referee counted to three before GOTHRA could free herself from the ropes, giving the odd NoVaK another big win in his young (R)W career, as he absconded from the ring before GOTHRA, Watanabe, or Cthulhu could do much else about it. WINNER: NoVaK

CARLTON WINSLOW vs. GUNNAR STAHL Carlton burst out of the blocks like a man on fire to start off this match, looking to put an end to his recent bad luck in the ring. Whilst Gunnar was still co-ordinating with Astrid Larsson and Mattias Jepsen outside the ring, Carlton surprised him from behind, hitting his trademark Vault Assault straight off the back, going for the pin. Gunnar quickly kicked out, breaking the count before the second count. Carlton, looking to capitalise, hits a series of stomps, before following up with a Standing Corkscrew Shooting Star Press, only for Gunnar to roll clear, and Carlton hitting nothing but mat. That unfortunate miss pretty much ended Carlton’s match, as Stahl quickly went to town on the now winded Winslow, hitting a string of stiff shoot kicks to Carlton’s knee and lower leg, followed by a Leg Grapevine. Gunnar full technical textbook came into play next, with Stahl going to town on Carlton, breaking down his leg to neutralise his opponent’s agility. A visit to the ropes resulted in Carlton, trying to rise during the break in the assault, getting taken down hard by a Slap Shot! That was all she wrote, as Gunnar locked in the Gunnar Hook, with Carlton quickly tapping out to give the Icelander a solid victory. WINNER: GUNNAR STAHL

THE GALACTIC PRETTY BOYS vs. KYLAR STARK & PHILIPPE BERTRAND For Sugata Hotaru and Takuto Shindo, tonight was about proving they had no ring rust after the injury that had separated their partnership into a solo act for several weeks. Opposing them were Kylar Stark & Phillipe Bertrand, a makeshift duo that nonetheless hoped to prey on any such rust that the Galactic Pretty Boys might have been harboring. Stark and Hotaru started, Stark trying to use his brawling stylings to keep the lighter Hotaru at bay. This worked to some extent, but Hotaru would not be denied. Fighting his way through the punches and chops, Hotaru surged forward, driving Kyler into the corner, and opening up with a series of huge open palm chops, before finally scoring with a huge Mongolian chop, to complete the Hotaru Hyrakuretsuken! As Hotaru tagged in Shindo, the two teamed up to execute a big double DDT, leaving Shindo to make the cover on Stark - that only got two. Stark worked his way up, scoring a sharp pair of European uppercuts to the jaw that rocked Shindo. He Irish whipped the Pretty Boy into the corner, following him in with the NBK! Shindo crumpled in the corner, and Stark grabbed him by the hair, dragging him to the corner to tag in Bertrand. Phillipe entered the ring, and continued to work over Shindo, hitting a big double-underhook backbreaker. He went up top and took careful aim, flying off with the LockJaw, only for Shindo to roll out of the way. He dove to the corner, tagging Hotaru back in. Sugata sprung in, catching Phillipe with the Star Sword [Diamant], and helped his partner to his feet. With Bertrand down, the GPB grinned at one another, and entered into a well-choreographed dance sequence that had the fans on their feet. By the time Bertrand was to his feet, the last things he saw were a double pelvic thrust, followed immediately by a lightning-fast double superkick. The Shining On You had been hit, and Sugata went for the cover as Takuto moved to cut off Stark from being able to make the save, earning the idols their first win as a tag team in quite some time. WINNER: THE GALACTIC PRETTY BOYS We come backstage into the dressing room area of Mistress Vivi. During the wait for her upcoming match against Shinji Uchikawa, the lightbulbs flicker in the room, and when they stop, she can see someone now standing behind her in the mirror. mara: It's a neat little trick I learned. I'm like Candyman, but y'know...real. Mistress Vivi: It's a very good one, Mother. Have you come to wish me good luck against Shinji? Mistress Vivi does not turn around, but meets the Allmother's gaze in the mirror calmly, waiting for an answer. mara: Aye, I have. If he as good as brother mine says he is, this will be no walk in the park for you. It takes a special talent for my brother mine to endorse them. She steps forward, starting to place her hands on her shoulders. mara: You are a confident woman, and rightfully so. But be careful that your confidence doesn't become your eulogy. Mistress Vivi smiles and reaches up, covering the Allmother's hands with her own. Mistress Vivi: I understand, Mother. I've watched him before. He's very talented. And even with the recent... distractions, he won't be easily beaten. Nodding some, Vivi turns to face mara and drops her hands back to her hips. Mistress Vivi: He will get the best I have, as Hotaru did, as Venus did. He will see how brightly my fire burns. And I expect to receive nothing less than his best in return. My star is on the rise, Mother. I will make you proud tonight. mara: You will make me proud, I know it. Just succeed, and I will love you all the same. Mistress Vivi: I will not fail you, Mother. Surrounded as I am by my family tonight, how could I? Mara smiles and kisses the top of the Voodoo Priestess' head before the lights flicker off and on, once again leaving Vivi alone.

SPECIAL SINGLES MATCH CALEB STORM vs. DANIEL LANNING The bell rang, and Storm burst out of his corner like a man possessed. Lanning was obviously expecting stiff competition, but what he got was something else. Storm was a blur, hitting Lanning with quick, repeated strikes, and not allowing the larger competitor to get going. Every blow Lanning threw in response, Storm dodged, following up with quick, simple technical throws, only serving to frustrate Lanning further. It wasn’t long until Daniel’s frustrations boiled over, and he started throwing heavier, sloppier blows, struggling to gain purchase on the athlete, eventually managing to get lucky with a desperation Spinebuster, reversing a charge from Caleb. Lanning, looking to capitalise on the steady ground he now found himself on, whipped Caleb to the ropes, only for Storm to flip into a handspring, coming back to hit with a Chain Lightning, taking Lanning by surprise. Looking to end it, Storm headed up top, and flew, going for the Moment Of Impact. Lanning, though, by instinct or luck, managed to get his knees up, and Caleb’s ribs connected hard. Storm rebounded, and found himself clutching his chest, fighting for air. Lanning, sensing the chink in the armor, hopped to his feet, and ran to the ropes. Caleb got himself up to a seated position, still fighting for air, just in time for Lanning to come back and meet him with a Deadshot, taking Caleb straight down, and with Lanning collapsing on top of him for the three count. After the match, both competitors, still winded, gave each other a hearty handshake. WINNER: DANIEL LANNING Lanning gives Caleb a pat on the back as the young man leaves, a small showing of approval before he moves over to one side of the ring, requesting and recieving a microphone. He walks back to the middle of the ring and stands facing the crowd. Daniel Lanning: Let's have a talk, huh? Let's talk about second place. And, hell, I'll go ahead and spoil the ending for you, talking about second place means we're talking about me. He runs a hand through his hair and sighs. Daniel Lanning: Since I popped up here a couple'a months ago, I keep getting these shots. I had my shot at the Revo belt, I came up short. I had my shot at being the contender for the belt, I came up short. I had a shot at the MAIN ROSTER, and what happened? He holds up his free hand and brings his index and thumb finger so close together they're almost touching, but not quite. Daniel Lanning: Within a hair I came of that, and yet I still came up short. To be honest, I'm starting to think people are losing interest in the bounty hunter. I don't even get a chance to put my fist down that tattooed cocksucker's throat after he kept me from saving Cailey. Daniel Lanning is becoming a name synonymous with "close, but not quite." And y'know what? He pauses a moment, letting the crowd build up some suspense. Daniel Lanning: I'm already fucking sick of it. He starts pacing back and forth. Daniel Lanning: I've spent my life fighting! I have knocked more people unconscious than anyone back there can lay claim to! I KNOW I can be better than what I've been so far! I know I can be the man standing on top of this place, hell I can be the man standing beyond this place, on the main roster! I could be achieving what I'm here for, not god damn flopping around down on the ground like a fish! He stops pacing, facing the camera again. Daniel Lanning: I have to stop being the runner-up, the close but not quite. Cause where I come from, the only thing you get for being runner-up is a shittier grave. So I gotta change. I gotta be the Daniel Lanning I am when I'm on the street, hunting a bounty down. I gotta be ruthless...and I gotta be bold. So let's get bold. I'm putting the word out right now. No matter who comes out of it in two weeks, whether it's Sydney or the witch bitch.... He raises his left hand, balling it into the fist that had delivered Taskmasters to so many. Daniel Lanning: I'm the next (R)Evolution Wrestling World champion. And you'll be the runner-up. "Nobody" by Skindred begins to play over the speakers as Lanning drops the mic and exits the ring, the crowd uncertain how to react to his challenge as the renewed Bounty Hunter disappears backstage.

TOP OF THE CLASS TOURNAMENT SEMI-FINAL MATCH MISTRESS VIVI vs. SHINJI UCHIKAWA With Mara and her entourage watching from the entrance area on a grand couch, Mistress Vivi looked on with all smiles as she realized someone was here to see her impending victory. Meanwhile, Shinji Uchikawa did come out alone, looking back on angrily at Tom Higashikata when he tried to walk out with him. The match started as a bit of a feeling out process, Vivi's speed helping keep him off balance for a while. A missed rolling elbow led to a lungblower from Vivi, giving her an advantage. Several cradle variations got her a series of two counts in succession, and the speed in which Vivi caught Shinji caught him off guard long enough for her to hit a dropkick to the knees to set up Agonizing Ecstasy! Shinji was stuck for a bit, and he realized his peril...ONLY TO UTILIZE HIS STRENGTH ADVANTAGE TO SLIDE HIMSELF BETWEEN THE ROPES AND FORCE A BREAK! Unfortunately, Shinji sacrificing being caught in the ropes to save himself didn't help as Vivi was able to land on the apron and step back before dropkicking him in the head! Vivi was ready to start prepping to finish Shinji off, starting to leap up and catch Uchikawa in a near illegal choke with the help of her legs while hanging upside down, Shinji dangling between the ropes on his back, his arms trying to support himself to pull up, only making it worse!. Just when she thought she had things wrapped up, he ducked her attempt at the Hurricane Vivienne, only to meet her on her rebound from the ropes with a Saint Walker Bomb! Shinji hit his knees and the crowd started to erupt as he began putting things together, nailing a vicious lariat that turned Vivi inside out! After a bit of a wait, Shinji quickly grabbed her into pumphandle position and lifted, catching her with Heaven's Door! Hooking the leg for the three, Shinji rolled off her immediately and crawled to a corner, breathing a huge sigh of relief! The crowd erupted into approval as "Waiting On a War" played, leaving Shinji there as he called for a microphone. WINNER: SHINJI UCHIKAWA Shinji Uchiikawa: I needed this. The crowd applauds politely as he looks out towards them and smiles, namely at a pretty brunette at ringside, who has seeemimngly been one of the Section B mainstays. Shinji Uchikawa: My road...it is not easy. Whether it Lioness or Songbird, I have difficult challenge. And I know that people have questioned me lately. To those who wonder where my decision is, all you need to know is this...when I came to America, I was made to bow before a man who had no honor. He formed Gods and Monsters, and when I broke away, I had lost my sense of self. Who was I? What made me Shinji Uchikawa? What road would I choose, now that I had seen the dogma of Gods and Monsters and the lessons of The Saint of Violence? I said it once, and I will say it again... Shinji is seemingly taken aback as a few people chant "RE-VO-LU-TION!" at him, and an echoing chant of "BASED EM-PIRE!" comes at him. The volume from both sides takes him aback as he sighs, rubbing the back of his neck. Shinji Uchikawa: What I choose will be best for me. For I am Shinji Uchikawa...I am Uchikawa...AND I AM THE SENTINEL! I WILL DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR ME! I AM SHINJI UCHIKAWA, AND I...AM...THE SENTINEL! "Waiting On a War" by 36 Crazyfists kicks in again, and the crowd erupts once more as Uchikawa climbs the turnbuckle to get a salute from the crowd.

TOP OF THE CLASS TOURNAMENT SEMI-FINAL MATCH ANASTASIA STARLING vs. ELIZABETH LANNISTER On paper, this semifinal match in the Top of the Class tournament seemed like a one sided affair. On the one hand you had Anastasia Starling, the young lady who had seemingly found a place in the hearts of everyone who watched not only RevPro, but EXODUS as well. Yet her overall record wasn’t exactly something to write home about. On the other hand you had what many people considered to be the best of Class Two, Elizabeth Lannister. The self-proclaimed Khaleesi has yet to taste defeat. The match started out with each woman getting a feel for how the other was in the ring. Anastasia did manage to throw Elizabeth off slightly with a series of forearms to the head. As Elizabeth stood in a slight daze, Ana ran to the opposite set of ropes and ran towards her opponent. Elizabeth had her scouted however as she took Ana down with a sleek Japanese arm drag. Not wanting to give the fan favorite any room to recover, Elizabeth delivered a few well-placed kicks to the midsection which she followed up with an elbow to the back of the head. Ana dropped to her knees as Elizabeth ran to the opposite ropes and attempted to deliver a stiff kick to Ana’s face, but the quickness of Ana came into play as she stood up and blocked the oncoming boot. She grabbed Elizabeth around the neck and took her to the mat with a snap mare, much to the delight of the fans. Ana immediately cinched in a headlock, a move that Elizabeth tried to fight out of and eventually did. The two women went back and forth, trading blows and various other moves that kept the fans attention and growing increasingly divided as to who to root for. At one point, Ana hit Elizabeth with a Shiranui and went for the cover, but only managed to get a two count before Elizabeth kicked out. Elizabeth slowly managed to get to her feet and was met with a forearm to the head. Ana went for another one, but Elizabeth blocked that and managed to spin Ana around. She wrapped her arms around Ana’s waist and lifted her up and over with a German suplex. Much like before, Elizabeth only managed to get a two count on Ana. Ana climbed to her feet, albeit slowly, and turned around to face Elizabeth, only to be met with a WICKED elevated dropkick, hitting Ana right in the head. Elizabeth went for the pin again, but was only able to get another near fall. Feeling a little frustrated, Elizabeth ran her hands through her hair as she grabbed Ana by the neck and yanked her to her feet. The quickness of Ana was apparent as she seemingly came out of nowhere with a kick to Elizabeth’s midsection followed by two clubbing forearms to her back, knocking her to her knees. Ana delivered a kick to Elizabeth’s back, a move that caused her to sprawl out on her stomach and roll onto her back, obviously caught off guard. This was enough time for Ana to run to the opposite ropes, run back and hit Elizabeth with the Sturnidae, getting the much coveted pinfall. The expression on Ana’s face was priceless as she stood there while the referee held her hand high in the air. Down on the mat, Elizabeth was slow to stir, eventually coming to her knees then her feet, in shock over being handed her first loss. Her expression is the polar opposite of Ana’s as Ana reaches out to shake Elizabeth’s hand on a well fought match. Elizabeth looks at Ana’s outstretched hand before glaring at the fan favorite, slapping her hand out of the way before walking to the side of the ring and climbing out. She flips her hand out towards Ana, as if she is dismissing her before making her way to the back while Ana celebrates moving onto the tournament finals. WINNER: ANASTASIA STARLING

PICK YOUR POISON I: THE CHAMPION MOGUI vs. SYDNEY CHRISTENSEN The poison for the North Star tonight came in the form of the imposing Mogui, otherwise known as New Eden's "Psycho Surgeon." With the crowd looking on at the intimidating look of Mogui as he stared down The North Star...literally. With the height difference, Mogui seemed to almost flick off the challenge of Sydney, all before the fight began. Syd showed no signs of being intimidated by the man, even if not every shot seemed to phase The Psycho Butcher at first. Continuing to give it her all before a reversed irish whip into a huge rolling savate kick, one he calls Risen Darkness. Mogui dominated, using a strength and size advantage to throw around the North Star for a while, leaving her disoriented. Things got exceptionally disturbing when Mogui went for the very antique saw that he carried to the ring with him, looking to go for Syd's scalp! She started to try to fight him, and after a few kicks from a leg swung upward to connect with his skull, Syd was able to break free and kick away the saw! Syd started to recover, nailing a massive discus clothesline to get herself back in the game! Mogui was suddenly taken off guard by the fact that Syd was able to lift him for a massive spinebuster, before picking him up AND HOLDING HIM FOR A HUGE KILLING TIME! Syd looked to be in control of the match, but a reversed Irish Whip into a lariat turned the North Star inside out and seemed to put an end to her rally. Just as Mogui seemed to be ready to put her away, it seemed like the crowd perked up at the sight of Daniel Lanning coming down from the entrance, Mogui almost smirking that he would dare get involved! With Daniel coming down, Tom Higashikata quickly did his best to tell the referee there was an issue with the turnbuckle and how Mogui had clearly messed with the ring's aesthetics. While the young man and the official argued over the situation, Lanning burst in and clocked Mogui with the Taskmaster, leading to Syd finding the Psycho Butcher KO'ed! She slowly went to tangle up Mogui in the ALPHA-16, which led to the referee calling the match as Mogui appeared to pass out from the move. WINNER: SYDNEY CHRISTENSEN Pond: Holy crap, what a win for Sydney Christensen! She turned back the challenge from the monstrous Mogui, and now she's got herself in perfect position to go onto face Jaina Frost in two weeks in Japan! Minoru Asano: Sydney has been amazing, friend! Let us drink to her many vic-- As Minoru talks, the feed seems hijacked as static interrupts it, all before you can hear some fiddling around from two unfamiliar voices...and yet somehow, there's a familiar face. Voice 1: You got this, Carey! Voice 2: We got the feed! Carey Dean stands there in a leather jacket with a hoodie underneath, hood over his head and a pair of blue jeans, also clearly wearing a War Machines t-shirt as he paced around a few times as he heard them before turning his head to the camera with a bit of a smirk. Carey Dean: Well hey there, (R)Evolution, did you all miss me? I mean, I wasn't exactly gone long, but Darrin Stearns put me in time out for being a bad little boy! You take a crowbar to one sociopath's skull, and all of a sudden, you're a real bad seed. That's the problem, Darrin. I told people from the start that my momma said I was a no good son, and none of y'all bothered to listen when I talked! Well now there ain't no Darrin Stearns, there ain't no Aiken Frost, and there sure as shit no Cassidy Carter...so I got somethin' I gotta get off my chest, because it's been a long time coming. Carey paces around, his hands starting to become more animated as he takes a deep breath, turning to the camera with an almost break neck speed as he starts screaming. Carey Dean: YOU'RE GODDAMN DEAD, CASSIDY CARTER! GOD. DAMN. DEAD! FOR SIX MONTHS OF MY LIFE, YOU AND THE SISTERS OF SIN HAVE BEEN TRYING MY PATIENCE! YOU HAVE HAUNTED MY FRIENDS, MY LIFE, AND YOU HAVE TRIED EVERY GODDAMN THING TO DESTROY ME! Carey stops and turns his head away, all before taking a deep breath and leaning his head back before turning away. Carey Dean: At some point in time, they're gonna let me back into the dojo. It might be tomorrow. It might be a month from now. I don't know when, I don't know how long I'm gonna have to wait. All I know is that it's gonna happen eventually. See, there's this broa--this girl. Danny, do me a favor and turn the camera to the left a bit. Indeed he does, and the camera reveals a sleeping Cailey Carter, wheelchair not far from her. The camera then turns back to Carey, who runs a hand through his hair. Carey Dean: What you did...it crossed the line. You wanna attack me? That's fine, whatever. I signed up for this because that's what happened when Old Man Collins took me in. You wanna attack Tommy? I ain't happy about it, but the guy can defend himself. Cailey? She ain't done nothin' to deserve what you did. She suffered because you wanted to get to me. Then you told me to find something you'd miss. Now Celeste Mallory ain't walkin' no more because I decided it was time to show you how it felt to be victimized. And soon, in front of the whole world, with Jon Collins, Chris Strike, God, the Devil, Cailey Carter, my old man, your old man, Aiken Frost, Jack Frost, Jack White, Jack Black, Black Jones, Mr. Jones, AND EVERY FUCKING PERSON IN THE ARENA AS MY GODDAMN WITNESS, I WILL SEND YOU BACK TO THE HELL THAT YOU WANNA CALL HOME! I WILL TEAR APART THE SISTERS OF SIN WITH MY GODDAMN BARE HANDS AND BLOODY KNUCKLES, AND YOU WILL BEG ME FOR FUCKING MERCY! And then I'm gonna look down on your ugly mug and I'm gonna say no. Not when you don't know a fucking thing about mercy. And when I use this... Carey reaches down and retrieves a crowbar, the name "CASSIDY CARTER" branded on it in silver ink as he slams it against his hand in wait as he glares on at the camera. Carey Dean: When I use this to crack your skull open and drain out what's left of your fuckin' brain...you'll remember that you brought this upon yourself. Count the days, you fucking miserable bitch, because you can expect...TO GET GODDAMN WRECKED! The feed cuts off, and we go back to Minoru and Pond like nothing happened.

PICK YOUR POISON II: THE CHALLENGER FIONA COLLINS vs. JAINA FROST Pond: It's been a hell of a show tonight, and I don't know how disturbing it's been to see mara and her entourage just sitting up at the entrance area, but it seems like the show has gone off without a hitch just yet. Now it's time for our main event! After Jaina Frost picked Sydney's poison of the enigmatic Mogui, Jaina's poison came out of left field. Some thought she'd select one of the Booze Brothers, but it turns out she went a little higher up on the food chain than that in selecting the HEC Women's Champion, former EXODUS Pro World Champion, The Stardust Seraph, Fiona Collins! Minoru Asano: If we were to take a drink for each of her accomplishments, we would get drunk rather quick. So let's do it! Pond: It's FIona Collins and Jaina Frost next! Burn by In This Moment hit’s over the P.A System as the RW Crowd look over at the entrance. A moment passes as the curtains part ways and slowly out walks the silver haired Jaina Frost. She looks out at the crowd surveying the lay of the land so to speak and smirks as she begins to walk towards the ring, ignoring Mara's entourage. David Zinkus: Ladies and Gentleman, hailing from New York City, New York... Jaina FROST!! The crowd’s reaction is typical as boos reign out, as the fans know all to much about the Frost family’s legacy in professional wrestling. But that only enamours Jaina as she casually walks up the steps and enters the ring via the middle rope before spinning into a corner and taking a seat as she waits for the bell. Pond: Well there's no shortage of confidence on the face of Jaina. Minoru Asano: It's entirely possible she doesn't understand the gravity yet... Pond: Here's hoping she will, because here she comes! Suddenly, the lights in the arena dim, and a hum and light orchestral music begins as "The Howling" by Within Temptation starts. The music continues to drift on as the lights blacken, all before the heavy portion of the intro kicks in, lights going to full blast as the crowd sees Fiona Collins standing at the center of the entrance stage, finger pointed to the air as the music continues! We've been seeing what you wanted, got us cornered right now Fallen asleep from our vanity, might cost us our lives! Fiona starts to pump her fist, making her way down to the ring quickly, nodding as she looks out toward the ring, slapping hands with a few hands on her way down, touching foreheads with a young female fan by the rail, whispering a small promise before taking off a glow necklace from her neck to pass off to the fan! David Zinkus: And his partner, from Portlandia, Oregon, weighing in at 135 pounds, the Strong Style Seraph…FIONA COOOOOLLLLINS!!!! I hear they're getting closer Their howls are sending chills down my spine And time is running out now They're coming down the hills from behind... Quickly, Fiona makes her way onto the apron by leaping up onto it, all before flipping over the top rope and landing on one knee, her hand touching the ground as if she just landed like some sort of superhero, all before she climbs one turnbuckle, quickly raising her hand and pointing a finger to the sky again as the crowd cheers again. When we start killing It's all coming down right now From the nightmare we've created, I want to be awakened somehow (I WANT TO BE AWAKENED RIGHT NOW!) She looks out at the crowd and instantly flips back, landing on her feet before turning around and looking toward the center of the ring, steel eyed focus on what's in front of her. As the lights come up and Collins looks back towards Jaina, she stares on, focused and prepared. Pond: Fiona has got to be thinking she needs eyes in the back of her head, given the fact that danger is pretty much everywhere tonight. mara and her "family" and the overwhelming cloud of the Sisters of Sin, who seemingly have come to align with those haunting New Eden followers that have appeared on occasion in EXODUS. Minoru Asano: We should drink to her health now and hope she retains it! Fiona glances out towards the entrance area where mara sits with her followers, the crowd stirring as they wonder what will happen next. She starts to glance at mara who waves at her and smiles tenderly while Fiona continues to snap at her, daring her to come down here now, her eyes taken off of Jaina who looks to slowly starts to come after Fiona, only for her to turn around in time, Jaina quickly putting her hands up as she realizes she's been caught! Fiona gives her this "are you serious?" look as Jaina looks up and whistles innocently, trying to back away, as Fiona comes closer, telling her that she's basically asking for it at this point. Jaina decides to go for the attack anyways, and the veteran Colllins sidesteps the clothesline and quickly grabs Jaina to hit the Oz-O-Matic! Jaina rolls outside and looks absolutely flabbergasted and frustrated, only for the crowd to cheer, and Fiona to grin, sitting on the ropes and offering her a chance to be let into the ring! Jaina seems to be fuming at this point, and Fiona finally backs away and heads to a corner, raising an eyebrow and looking over at Zinkus and asks him to hand her a microphone. After checking to make sure it's live, she sits in the corner and grins. Fiona Collins: Not sure how to tell you this, Jaina, but you're in the ring with a goddamn professional. The crowd cheers and a small "STAR-DUST SER-APH!" chant with appropriate claps starts up as she uses the ropes to stand up before hopping on a turnbuckle to sit. Fiona Collins: So you can either get in this ring and fight, or you can tuck your tail and prove to everyone how cowardly you and Cassidy Carter really are. The crowd erupts as she has a smug little grin on her face as the crowd cheers Jaina moving even closer back toward the aisle, screaming "OR WHAT?" at her as she manages to get irritated at Fiona's game. Fiona Collins: Or what? There's always Plan C. Fiona then chucks the microphone over the ropes and out of the ring before she dashes toward the side of the ring Jaina is at, leaping over with a no hands tope! She and Jaina collide, the Sister of Sin falling to the ground as Fiona gets up and throws Jaina into the ring as the bell finally sounds, leaving Fiona to start hammering Jaina with shots as she backs her to a corner before irish whipping her across the ring before doing a front flip with a twist into a back elbow! Jaina stumbles out and Fiona starts to bounce off the ropes, looking to hit a running Shinigami, but Jaina sidesteps it and tries to grab Fiona to catch her with a backslide! The ref goes for the cover! ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Fiona rolls to her feet and Jaina gets to her knees, ducking a kick attempt from Fiona and trying to clip her to bring her down to her level! Fiona hits the mat and an instant Shadow Kick from Jaina sends the Stardust Seraph down. Jaina quickly tries to go for a cover on Fiona! ONE! TWO! THR--KICKOUT! Pond: Jaina is looking impressive, holding her own against the former World Champ! Minoru Asano: A toast to Jaina Frost and her blossoming skills! Just as he says that, Jaina starts to choke Fiona against the ropes, the referee starting the count. Minoru Asano: Or a toast to her usual wicked ways! Jaina finally lets go at four, and gets Fiona up, chopping her chest before she does so again, backing Fiona to the ropes, all before she screams. Jaina Frost: I'LL CUT THEM OFF! SEE IF ANYONE FINDS YOU SPECIAL THEN! Pond: ....ow. Jaina tries to chop Fiona's chest again, but Fiona rolls out of the way and reverses it, backing Jaina to the ropes and starting to nail Jaina with some rapid fire machine gun chops! Fiona goes to whip Jaina to the opposite ropes, but Jaina reverses and rakes the eyes! Jaina quickly spins Collins...OUIJA BOARD! Jaina smirks as she gets up, feeling confident as she slowly makes her way to the corner and climbing to the top for the Devil's Dare! Jaina leaps off and Fiona rolls out of the way, but Jaina rolls through and gets to her feet quickly, only to be met with a rolling elbow from Collins...then a palm strike...THE DROPSAULT! CLEAR EYES, FULL HEARTS, CAN'T LOSE! Fiona starts looking at Jaina, sizing her up for the Shinigami...ANOTHER ROLLING ELBOW AS JAINA HITS A KNEE, BUT FIONA KEEPS SPINNING INTO THE SHINIGAMI...AND THEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT! When the lights come back up, THE WHOLE FAMILY IS IN THE RING! The nameless one sits in the corner, indian style in awe with mara standing there next to her and patting her head like a pet, as NoVaK and the Daughters of Janus come to attack Fiona! The three of them begin assaulting her, all as the crowd jeers. The attack from the three are relentless, and as the crowd begins to boo, the leader of this menagerie, mara, comes closer and begins to drop to her knees, looking down at the beaten up Seraph. Through all this, Jaina has already made her way to the back, heading for higher ground, but... Pond: LOOK AT WHO'S COMING TO HELP FIONA! Indeed, Sydney Christensen has run down, attacking NoVaK first and then the Daughters of Janus. The two start trying to clean house, helping one another! Minoru Asano: Our champion is here! Pond: She's doing the right thing! She brought Fiona here to help, and these two are no strangers to being aligned! Indeed, The North Star and the Stardust Seraph are cleaning house on the family, only for something to be rumbling through the crowd, a behemoth of a woman in a gas mask. Quickly hopping over the barricade, this woman gets into the ring...AND LEVELS SYDNEY WITH A LARIAT! Sydney is no stranger to being one of the strongest women in EXODUS, but this woman has turned her inside out with this lariat before starting to grab Fiona and lifting her up from the mat, whipping her to the ropes and catching her with a sitout spinning side slam! She gets up and instantly goes to Sydney and grabs her, hitting a uranage backbreaker on her, all before she gets up and rips off the gas mask, revealing her face as she lets out a disturbing roar before mara finally leaves her corner, approaching the woman. In an instant, the woman drops to her knees and comes to mara, wrapping her arms around her like she was begging for the love of a mother. Without hesitation, mara smiles and wraps her arms around the young woman as NoVaK reaches for a microphone to hand to The Allmother before she speaks. mara: Do you like my gift? I said that I would be unleashing The Uroboros on this place, and here she is? See, Fiona and Ms. Hanneman should recognize this young woman. She was in their class too. She lost her way, they say. They said she was too violent...reckless...But Jonathan understands family. He says all his students always have a home in the walls of the dojo, and now here she is...home. They once called her Lindsay Ziegler...but now she is The Uroboros. Now she is home. Now she is the death I can't give you or anyone else. Now she is the death that I watch over. I am the gatekeper, and she is my key. Now on behalf of me, she will.... reach for the dead. The Allmother looks up to the sky as "Reach for the Dead" by Boards of Canada plays on, smiling as she cradles Uroboros in her arms as we go to copyright. WINNER VIA DQ: FIONA COLLINS
