Your hosts are Matt Martlaro & S. William Regal.
Richie Steamboat vs. Percy Watson vs. Brad Maddox: Regal notes that Maddox is on his list of people whose faces he would never get fed up with punching...heh. Lots of rollups in the early going...got to catch a quick fall in this kind of match with a third party involved to break up pin attempts. The match boils down to Steamboat and Maddox with Percy down on the outside...Watson finally re-enters the fray to rally against Maddox. Percy baseball-slides Steamboat off the apron but misses the move on Maddox, causing him to land badly on the floor. Steamboat attempts to re-enter with a sunset flip but Brad blocks and holds the rope for the surprise(albeit cheap) victory!
Titus O'Neil vs. Erick Rowan & James Bronson(w/ Byron Saxton), Very Special Handicap Match(tm): Even General Manager Norman Smiley is fed up with the handicap matches, thankfully...
Titus O'Neil & Roman Leakee vs. Erick Rowan & James Bronson(w/ Byron Saxton): Not quite sure how the handicap match came about as even Norman didn't know how Saxton engineered it. A cheapshot from Rowan allows Bronson to take out Leakee with an STO, putting his team in control. Regal refers to the Rowan/Bronson team as a throwback duo...good way to describe them. Leakee comes back but Bronson reverses a whip into the corner, only to be met with a huge jumping knee strike...Leakee then vaults over Bronson into a unique rollup for the win out of nowhere! The heels immediately go on the post-match attack as Rowan chokeslams Leakee, then Bronson locks O'Neil in his modified short-arm scissors as Byron yells right in his face. The good guys won the battle, but the heels seem to have won the war on this night.
DeSean Bishop vs. Leo Kruger: I'd pick the guy who cut the promo on the champion last week...just saying. Bishop's got a size and power advantage, but gets too fancy and Kruger takes advantage with a legsweep from the floor as Bishop is on the apron. Kruger controls with a cravate hold, leading to a funny exchange between the commentators as Regal wonders if Martlaro will steal the call from him and Martlaro joking that it's one of the few holds he can name. Kruger delivers a flying gutdrop to Bishop's fist, but the momentum shift is short-lived as a corner splash hits turnbuckles. Kruger delivers a Flying Jalapeno and ends it with the Final Destination(swinging fisherman buster). We get a brief glimpse of Ricardo Rodriguez watching the match from ringside...hmm.
Briley Pierce still works here and he interviews FCW 15 Champion Seth Rollins. Pierce brings up Dean Ambrose...Seth says that his focus is on the championship right now. That brings out Ambrose to glare at the champion before leaving without a word...
Kaitlyn Bonin, A.J. Lee, & Caylee Turner vs. Sonia Yung, Audrey Marie, & Raquel Diaz: For the uninformed, Caylee is Christina Crawford(Alicia Fox's sister)...she made the jump from FCW to Tough Enough and now back to FCW. This will be my first look at Raquel(daughter of Eddy & Vickie Guerrero) in official competition. Caylee and Raquel start...Martlaro notes that Raquel hopes to do the Guerrero name proud and Regal jokes about why she's going by "Diaz" if that's the case...heh. Nice Northern Lights suplex by Turner(two-count), then tags are made to A.J. and Sonia. A quick cheapshot by Raquel puts A.J. at a disadvantage(CHEAT TO WIN~!), then Marie traps her in a bow-and-arrow hold. Ricardo returns to ringside, presumably for scouting purposes...or maybe he's just taking pictures. An ill-fated charge by Sonia lands her outside the ring...tag to Audrey, tag to Kaitlyn! Kaitlyn fumbles a bit on a sideslam, but she goes on to win with a backslide as her partners cut off Sonia and Raquel.
Bo Rotundo vs. Damien Sandow for the Heavyweight Title: Maxine Perez joins the broadcast table, severely flustering Regal. Bo hits the ring and cuts off an immediate assault by Sandow as the opening bell rings. The fight travels to the floor, but Sandow rams Rotundo backwards into the ring steps...ow. Back into the ring for a cover...and a two-count. Sandow maintains control, including feet on the ropes during a chinlock(HEEL~!). Martlaro does his best to call the match...meanwhile Regal and Maxine are sweet-talking each other. Blind charge hits turnbuckles, but Sandow cuts off Bo's attempted comeback with a swinging neckbreaker and throws him to the floor. Bo eats ringpost and Sandow gets a close look at the belt before they re-enter the ring.
Sandow finally makes the mistake of going to the turnbuckles and Rotundo cuts him off, delivering the superplex(WINDHAM~!). Cover...gets two. Corner clothesline hits, bulldog(Bo-dog?) is blocked once but not twice...two-count. Sandow tries to bail out of the ring to avoid a spear attempt, then forearms Rotundo when he attempts pursuit. Sandow pulls out the brass knuckles right in front of the referee(shades of Regal?)...the official confiscates the international object but that allows Sandow to thumb Rotundo in the eye before delivering a snap neckbreaker...for two! Another cover...for two. Again...for two. AGAIN...for two. Sandow argues with the referee and that costs him as he gets caught in an O'Connor Roll...for two. More ref arguing and this time Sandow takes a swing at the ref, missing wildly...and he turns around right into the spear from Rotundo! That's the ballgame and Bo retains the Heavyweight Title!
Next week: Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose for the FCW 15 Title! So long from the Sunshine State!
