Your hosts are Chris Russo & S. William Regal, your ring announcer is Caylee Turner.
Calvin Raines vs. Kenneth Cameron: So who's the face in THIS matchup? Not much feeling-out in this matchup...they just go right after each other. The fans seem to side with Cameron so we'll go with that. This is Cameron's toughest test to date against a former Tag Team Champion...Raines looks for a running powerslam but Cameron escapes the move to snap Raines' throat off the top rope. One sitout jawbreaker later, Cameron picks up the victory.
Mike Dalton & Xavier Woods vs. Heavyweight Champion Champion Leo Kruger & Rick Victor: Dalton got a landmark win last week in the Grand Royale and came VERY close to upsetting Kruger for the title later in the show. Kruger and Victor's first attempt at teamwork goes awry and Woods takes advantage before tagging in Dalton. Dalton & Woods seem to work together very well...but Xavier ends up in the wrong part of town and eats a baseball slide from Kruger. Regal notes the mindset behind the European uppercut, saying that a closed-fist punch is an automatic disqualification in most countries so people use the forearm uppercut instead. Xavier finally makes the hot tag to Dalton after considerable effort...the house is on fire! Xavier takes out Kruger but whiffs on a plancha as Leo sidesteps him. Kruger runs interference to stop a top-rope move from Dalton...Dalton kicks him away, but Victor blasts Dalton on the turnbuckles with a huge European uppercut. Victor plants him with a double-underhook powerbomb and that's enough to score the three-count.
Backstage, Kruger consoles a crying Aksana Raudoniene...Leo goes to take care of things for her and she looks DEVIOUS~! as he leaves...
General Manager Maxine Perez(w/ James Bronson) meets with Abraham Washington in her office...she wants Abe to be her assistant. Washington is hesitant to play second fiddle to anyone but he does agree to it...however, she wants Abe to talk to "Dr. Bronson" first. Next is Danielle Moinet(w/ errand boy) to deliver some sort of message to Maxine...
Byron Saxton interviews Bo Rotundo...we haven't seen him in a few weeks. Bo's finally cleared to return to the ring...WOO~! He's ready to regain the Heavyweight Title he never lost in the ring...and that catches the attention of the champ, now accompanied by Aksana. Leo tells Bo that he needs to work his way back up the ladder...apparently Aksana claimed that Bo treated her badly and Kruger wants to stick up for her. Referees hit the ring to maintain order...meanwhile, Aksana looks DEVIOUS~!
Big E Langston vs. Antonio Cesaro: Looks like Big E is turning face as he sticks up for the good old U-S-A. Cesaro tries to push Big E backwards in the opening lockup and gets nowhere...then his attempt at a full nelson is largely ignored. Langston tosses Cesaro around with surprising ease...at least until Cesaro clips the leg. Big E powers out of a chinlock but misses a big splash, allowing Cesaro to keep him grounded. Cesaro takes the wind out of him with a series of double-stomps to the gut...ow. Big E hits a backbreaker out of nowhere and repeatedly powers Cesaro into the turnbuckles. The straps come down...but Cesaro seeks refuge in the ropes and gets in an eyepoke behind the referee's back. IT'S THE BIG FOOT connects and Cesaro locks on a combination cobra clutch/camel clutch for the tapout victory.
Damien Sandow vs. Richie Steamboat for the FCW 15 Title: So who's the face in THIS matchup? Sandow demands his spotlight and thanks the fans for their irrelevant opinions...okay, looks like Richie's the face for tonight. Both guys go for quick rollups in the opening minute. ARMDRAGS~!...take a guess who wins that exchange. Steamboat teases an early superkick and Sandow bails to the floor only to take a baseball slide instead. Steamboat re-enters via the top rope...big chop gets a two-count. Steamboat's on a roll but Sandow finally cuts him off with a shoulder to the gut. Half-crab attempt is blocked and Richie kicks him away...a superkick out of nowhere gets a three-count at the four-minute mark!
Richie tries another quick rollup for two before going back to the arm...dropkick and clothesline send Damien to the floor! We hit the five-minute mark, but this time Steamboat's baseball slide is blocked by Sandow raising the ring apron to trap him(FINLAY~!). Sandow beats him down and catapults him into the ring steps...that'll slow him down. In fact, Richie is counted out and that evens the score around the six-minute mark.
Sandow slows the pace...CRAVATE~! Steamboat chops back but runs into a facebuster...for two. We reach the ten-minute mark as the champion controls the pace...the superkick is blocked this time and a mid-ring collision leaves both men down. Both men are worn out and Steamboat bounces Sandow's face off the mat a few times...Russo notes that Richie has experience in this style of match so that will help him. Flying Jalapeno...gets two. Sandow levels Steamboat with a lariat out of nowhere...for two. Regal notes that Sandow was trained by Killer Kowalski...slam attempt is escaped and Richie gets an O'Connor Roll...for two. Sandow gets a jackknife cradle...for two. Steamboat tries the jackknife cradle himself...for two. Two minutes to go. Sandow overpowers his challenger and tries a back suplex, but Richie backflips out...and nails the superkick! However, Sandow falls through the ropes...one minute to go. Sandow is dead weight as Richie has to lift him back into the ring...he finally gets the cover...for two! Thirty seconds to go. Richie motions for Sandow to get up for another superkick, then realizes the clock is against him and goes for the kill...Damien suddenly small-packages him for two...Richie reverses the move into his own and gets three with ten seconds left on the clock! They go back after each other, but the time limit expires...and with a score of 2-1, Richie Steamboat is your newwwww FCW 15 Champion!
Next week: Bo Rotundo returns to the ring! So long from the Sunshine State!
