Miss Rachel announces that Jerry Palmer and Jeff G. Bailey will not be in the building(drawing cheers)...Palmer is upset about being viciously attacked by a fan, ha ha. She brings out Heavyweight Champion Shaun Tempers to enlighten us...Brodie Ray Chase only pinned him because he was double-teamed by Phil Gunner and Mikael Judas(WELL PAST the referee's five-count). On top of that, senior official Brent Wiley was intimidated into making the three-count when he should have been escorting the illegal men out of the ring.
Next, Tempers brings out his "Bro-tege", T.V. Champion B(r)o Newsom. Per General Manager Jerry Palmer's edict, T.V. Title matches will once again have a ten-minute time limit...not that Bo can't last longer than ten minutes, ha ha.
B(r)o Newsom vs. Joey Rhymer for the T.V. Title: Senior official Brent Wiley is YOUR referee for this matchup. Rhymer's picked up a few wins recently but this is a tall order for him. I remember when BO was the upstart rookie underdog...how time flies. Newsom targets the back of his challenger...someone's been watching his Roderick Strong tapes. Billy Buck comes out to watch the match as Newsom cuts off a rally by Rhymer...and Joey rolls him up for 2.999! Bo catches Rhymer with a huge spinebuster and that's enough for the three-count...Buck enters the ring but Bo was just leaving. Oops, he forgot the belt...Buck poses with it for fun, then graciously returns it to its current holder.
Adrian Hawkins vs. Anthony Henry for the Young Lions' Title, submission match: This is a rematch as Hawkins initially won the belt from Henry a few months ago. Unfortunately, Jacob Ashworth attacks Henry during his entrance and throws him into the ring steps...oh yeah, forgot that Ashworth had recently joined Johnson's "family". Johnson decides that there's no competition for Hawkins and he has the night off...but "The Reverend" Dan Wilson begs to differ. The Rev has an opponent in mind for Hawkins...Stryknyn!
Adrian Hawkins vs. Stryknyn(w/ Dan Wilson) for the Young Lions' Title, submission match: Hawkins goes on the attack but Stryknyn turns the tide in a hurry...meanwhile Johnson complains that Dee Byers is officiating the match instead of Brent Wiley. Stryknyn misses a move in the corner and Hawkins goes after the leg to set up the Sharpshooter...Adrian slaps him around but that prompts Stryknyn to pop up and hit a uranagi out of nowhere. Anaconda Vise is locked in but Tommy Penirelli & C.B. Suave run in with Ashworth for the DQ...bah. The injured Henry re-enters along with The Vandal & Najasism for the save...and The Rev decides an impromptu eight-man tag is in order.
Anthony Henry, Stryknyn, Najasism, & Vandal vs. Young Lions' Champion Adrian Hawkins, Tommy Penirelli, C.B. Suave, & Jacob Ashworth: Johnson's squad would appear to have an advantage with Henry's shoulder injury and Stryknyn's damaged knee, but the face team still takes control in the early going. The heels finally isolate Vandal...Johnson's already counting his proverbial chickens, but Najasism gets a hot tag and cleans house! Najasism tags in Henry who catches Hawkins in the Texas Cloverleaf, but Hawkins isn't legal and Henry gets hit from behind by Penirelli and Suave. Now it's Henry on the receiving end of abuse...but he takes out Hawkins with a Death Valley Driver out of the blue. Hot tag #2 to Stryknyn...and the house is on fire! He goes for the Vise on Hawkins again but Adrian reaches the ropes. DDT is countered as Hawkins double-legs him down and gets the Sharpshooter...but Henry breaks up the hold as Najasism dives off the top rope onto the other heels at ringside. Henry joins the fun on the floor with a somersault plancha and Stryknyn sends himself and Hawkins out with a Cactus Clothesline! Vandal Zigzags Penirelli, Suave roundhouse-kicks Vandal, Najasism takes out Suave with Eat-The-Feet, Ashworth short-arm clotheslines Najasism...then Henry goes toe-to-toe with Ashworth. Henry springboards off the middle rope into a flying DDT on Ashworth but Hawkins nails him with a clothesline off the top rope. Adrian double-legs Stryknyn into another Sharpshooter attempt but Stryknyn monkeyflips him away, then spears him for the three-count! Stryknyn has beaten the Young Lions' Champion(though it wasn't by submission, as Johnson reminds us)...
