Ted DiBiase: Yeah- I mean it all sounds good, but to be honest I've heard it before. Yeah- well I know, but you're going to have to show me that you aren't full of crap. Yeah- I've heard it all, I've been around here long enough, and I wasn't born yesterday. I'd definitely be down for it- but you're going to have to prove that you're in it for the long haul. Alright- well then I'll see you then. Alright, later.

Edge came down to the ring to "Metalingus" by Alter Bridge, followed by Viktor, who came out in his full Ascension gear. Viktor walked up to Edge and bumped chests with him brazenly, growling like a feral animal. Edge blinked at him, shrugged, then open hand slapped him in the face, and the match was on.

Jerry Lawler: Viktor is in control! He may be looking to end it here!

The crowd came unglued when "Electrifying" by Jim Johnston hit the PA System. The Rock exploded from the back and onto the ramp. He had the Path To Glory Championship over his shoulder. He went down into the ring and went through his trademark entrance.
Lillian Garcia: And his opponent from Miami, Florida. Weighing in at 265 pounds from Miami, Florida. HE is the EBWF Path To Glory Champion- THE ROCK!
Jim Ross: Well here we go first round of the King of the Ring Tournament. The Rock fresh off his victory at Death Before Dishonor looking to continue his hot streak tonight.
Jerry Lawler: He's been on fire JR!
The bell rang and the match began. The Rock and Gabriel locked up and the early advantage went to the stronger Rock. He put Gabriel in a side head lock.

He covered Rock and earned a two count.
Jim Ross: What a move there by Gabriel, King!
Jerry Lawler: What a match this has been!
Gabriel looked at the ref like he thought he had a three count. He went up to the top rope and the ref walked over towards the rope as well. Gabriel went to jump off the ropes, but The Rock sprang to life and jumped up and hit Gabriel but at the same time hit the ref who crashed to the mat right along with Justin. It was incidental, and this definitely distracted The Rock for a moment. He looked at the ref and began to shake him. While he did this Gabriel was up. He went for a clothesline but The Rock ducked it and planted Gabriel with a Rock Bottom in the middle of the ring!
Jim Ross: ROCK BOTTOM! ROCK BOTTOM! ROCK BOTTOM! But the referee is down!
Jerry Lawler: Get up ref!
The crowd booed as Ted DiBiase sprinted down to the ring.
Jim Ross: What the hell it's Ted DiBiase!
Jerry Lawler: WHAT!
The Rock nodded and waved Ted into the ring, just as Ted was sliding in. The two started going blow for blow. The referee was still down. Ted went for a clothesline but similar to Gabriel, The Rock locked in a Rock Bottom, but Ted elbowed The Rocks head and went for Dream Street, The Rock countered this to wriggle away. All of a sudden from behind the announcers table came another man.
Jim Ross: Wait a minute is that!?
Jerry Lawler: It's The Miz JR!
Jim Ross: What's he doing?
The Rock saw this just as Miz was getting into the ring. He turned around and went for a punch, but Miz blocked it and locked The Rock up and hit a Skull Crushing Finale right in the center of the ring. The crowd was booing hysterically. Miz and DiBiase shared a quick evil smile. The ref was beginning to come to, as was Gabriel. Miz and DiBiase both exited the ring and remained on the outside.
Jim Ross: What the hell! This can't be happening! Ref you just missed everything!
Jerry Lawler: JR look!
Gabriel was going to the top rope, as the ref was almost completely back to his feet, he still looked groggy. Gabriel was at the top rope, and he came flying down connecting on a 450 splash. He went for the cover, and the ref counted.
Jim Ross: COME ON! NO! Not like this! ONE.. TWO.. THREE.. Damnit!
Jerry Lawler: I can't believe this.
Lillian Garcia: Here is your winner, Justin Gabriel.
Gabriel slid out of the ring and raised his arm in victory. He looked at both DiBiase and the Miz and kept moving back up the ramp. Miz went under the ring apron and grabbed a steel chair. He threw it into the ring. He then followed suit entering the ring himself. Ted went in with him. The Miz picked up the chair, as The Rock slowly made his way to his feet. The Miz planted the rock between the eyes with a vicious chair shot that sent The Rock back to the mat and busted him open. Miz smiled with a wicked grin, as did DiBiase. Miz said loud enough for the mic to pick up.. "you believe me now?" Ted shrugged shook his head.. and said.. "maybe one more". Miz nodded with a smirk, and Ted picked up The Rock who was a bloody mess. The Miz obliged Ted and hit The Rock right in the face once again with a chair shot. The Rock was back flat on the mat.
Jim Ross: Somebody stop this god damnit! The Miz is back and it appears that he has aligned himself with former Trilogy teammate Ted DiBiase. As a result they laid waste to the Path To Glory Champion tonight.
Jerry Lawler: Unbelievable JR!
Miz and Ted stood over The Rock's lifeless body. Ted finally shook his head in approval and raised The Miz' arm. The crowd was booing their brains out.
Jim Ross: Ted DiBiase lost last night to The Rock, but he damn sure is getting the last laugh right now, thanks to the help of the returning Miz. This is a damn travesty!
Jerry Lawler: Somebody get out here The Rock is out!
"I Came To Play" was heard over the loud speaker as Miz and DiBiase pleased with their handy work exited the ring to a chorus of boos. As officials came out to attend to The Rock as Warfare went to a commercial.
“Constant Motion” by Dream Theater called for Seth Rollins to the ring. Shortly after his entrance, “40 Below Summer” by F.E. signaled Syxx’s entrance, and once he entered the ring the referee called for the bell. A few seconds went by as both circled the ring to size one another up, before they locked up center ring. Syxx released his grip from Rollins and hit him with a series of chops to the chest, followed by a spinning kick that leveled him. Syxx ran the ropes, and Rollins rolled onto his belly forcing Syxx to jump over him. Rollins sprang to his feet and leap frogged Syxx, and on the rebound Rollins nailed Syxx with a pele kick to the head. Rollins brought Syxx to his feet and took him down again with a snap armdrag, and followed up with a DDT. He pinned Syxx for a two count. As both men got to their feet, Rollins grabbed Syxx again and attempted a quick spinebuster, but Syxx shifted his weight allowing him to transition into a sunset flip maneuver. Seth pushed his way to the ropes, barely grabbing on in an attempt to stall the pin, but ultimately failed to get a strong grip fell back into it.
After a brief 1 count Rollins somersaulted backwards out of the pin, and hit Syxx with a knee in the face. Rollins picked Syxx up by the head, aiming to drag him away from the ropes. However, Syxx caught a hold of them, reeling Seth back towards him. In a split second Seth was back down on the mat after a hard guillotine against the top rope from Syxx. The referee chastised him, but was returned with a crotch chop. Syxx pulled Rollins to his feet and hit him with an uppercut, before whipping him to the corner. Syxx connected with a body splash, which made Rollins slump down further into the corner. With his remaining momentum from the splash, Syxx did a roundabout and went for the bronco buster. In the final fateful seconds before Syxx landed on Rollins, Rollins had used the ropes to pull himself upward and used his knees as a shield against Syxx. Syxx stumbled backwards holding his groin from Rollins unintentional low blow, only to be snatched by Rollins and sent head first into the turnbuckle with a reverse STO. Rollins capitalised by dragging Syxx to the center of the ring before running the ropes and hitting the Curb Stomp. Rollins hooked a leg for the pin. 1…..2…..3! The bell rang and Seth celebrated as the referee held his arm up, and the show cut to a commercial break.
The referee called for the bell and Luke Harper squared up with Solomon Crowe in the center of the ring. They locked up and jockeyed for position, each man attempting to test the others strength. Harper eventually drove his knee into Solomon’s gut and forced him to lose his balance. Harper hit a vertical suplex and rolled it into a headlock. He alligator rolled Crowe a few times and then leaned back, tightening in the headlock as hard as he could.
Jim Ross: Luke Harper is a deceptively skilled mat wrestler, but you’d never know it too look at him!
Crowe, summoning his strength, fought to a vertical base and hit a belly to back suplex to counter Harper’s hold. Harper bounced off the mat and rolled out of the ring, opting to take a breather. Solomon Crowe ran off the opposite end of the ropes, then performed a topé between the top and second ropes, colliding with the big man and both of them went down.
Jim Ross: Solomon Crowe is leaving nothing to chance here!
Crowe grabbed Luke Harper and rolled him into the ring, mounting the top turnbuckle from the outside. He leapt off and hit an axehandle smash onto Harper, who clutched his back, and turned around into a headlock driver! Crowe nailed his finisher! He rolled him over into the pin. 1... 2... 3!
Jim Ross: Crowe advances into the next round of the King of the Ring Tournament!
Crowe mounted the turnbuckle and raised his arms in the air as EBWF Warfare went to commercial.
The match started with Matt Jackson immediately going on the offensive, attempting to go blow for blow with the much larger Orton. Randy grabbed Jackson by the arm and whipped him into the ropes, going for a powerslam on the return, but Jackson somersaulted over Orton and bounced off the other end. He ran back at higher velocity and walked into a massive lariat by Orton. Orton covered and got a two count. He picked up Jackson and threw him into the corner, mounting the turnbuckle and hitting 10 hard rights. The referee started counting and Randy broke away. He walked away from the corner, and when he turned around, Matt Jackson hit him with a superkick, which sent him stumbling back. Jackson went for a second superkick, but Randy caught his leg. He spun Jackson around, and leapt up in the air, hitting an RKO! Jackson hit the mat face first, and Randy rolled him over for the pin. 1... 2... 3!
Jim Ross: Just like that, Randy Orton is one step closer to the King of the Ring pay per view event!
Randy stood up, smirked, and flashed three fingers to the camera as the referee raised his other arm in the air. The cameras faded on Warfare as Randy celebrated in the ring.
