PRESHOW

Carlito came out to kick off the Preshow. Carlito was waiting in the ring tossing an apple from one hand to the other as Shinsuke Nakamura came out to a much more positive reaction that Carlito had.

Joey Styles: This is another number one contenders match for the Breakout Championship. Two veterans of the wrestling world, but only recently joined the EBWF, so this should be great.

As the referee called for the bell Shinsuke did not take his eyes off Carlito. Both men walked towards each other as Carlito took a bite of his apple. He methodically chewed it before suddenly he tossed the fruit to Nakamura who instinctively caught it. Quick as a flash Carlito booted him in the stomach, before landing a powerful elbow to the back of Shinsuke’s head making him fall to the mat. The crowd loudly booed as Carlito spat the apple onto his fallen opponent.

Joey Styles: Oh come on, what a pathetic way to distract Nakamura.

Corey Graves: That was a great move, someone with as much experience as Shinsuke should have expected something like that from Carlito.

As Shinsuke tried to get to his feet Carlito began to stomp on him preventing him from getting up, before hitting him with an elbow drop and going for the first pin of the match, 1...2…. kick out.

Joey Styles: No chance you’re putting someone like the King of Strong Style away with just an elbow drop.

After the kick out Carlito immediately applied an armbar and both men got to a standing position. Shinsuke forced Carlito to the ropes and sent him running across the ring, as they met in the middle Nakamura sent Carlito to the floor with a powerful shoulder block. Shinsuke bounced off the ropes himself and as Carlito bounced back to his feet Nakamura hit him with a huge lariat sending Carlito crashing to the mat.

Corey Graves: Nakamura turning up the pace here a little, Carlito needs to be careful.

Shinsuke pulled Carlito to his feet and set him up for his trademark inverted powerslam. As soon as he had hit the move Nakamura went for his first pin of the match, 1…..2…. kick out.

Joey Styles: Close call there for Carlito, Shinsuke seems to be building some momentum here.

With Calirto still laid out on the mat Nakamura popped to his feet and with a brief look to his fallen opponent jogged to the ropes before hitting the second rope and hitting a beautiful springboard moonsault.

Joey Styles: Ah El Nino, Nakamura has become famous worldwide for using that one! This one could be over.

1…..2…. kickout! Carlito just managed to get his shoulder up at the last moment. The crowd was going wild, clearly sensing that Shinsuke was on the verge of victory. Nakamura picked Carlito up and applied another one of famous moves, a front sleeper hold. Bent over, Carlito struggled and forced Shinsuke towards the turnbuckle. But their staggering was so quick that they managed to pin the referee in the corner behind them. With the referee stuck behind both men unsight, Carlito freed himself from the hold and viciously poked Nakamura in the eye. The Japanese star was was doubled over in pain and Carlito quickly spun him round and hit the Back Stabber. He climbed on top of Shinsuke pinning him, quickly putting his feet on the ropes for extra leverage, 1….2….3! The match was over.

Joey Styles: That’s it! It can’t believe he stole a win like that. He blatantly cheated there by thumbing Shinsuke’s eyes and illegally using the ropes for the pin!

Corey Graves: A really smart move from Carlito, when both when were in the corner the referee couldn’t see a thing so just used that to his advantage. That just shows you how much it means to these guys to be the Breakout number one contender.

As Carlito’s music blared over the PA system he rolled out of the ring, leaving the referee to check on Nakamura who was obviously holding his injured eye.


PRESHOW


Joey Styles: An interesting match up now, Bray Wyatt against Matt Sydal. Two guys with totally different styles, but both looking at getting a shot at the Breakout Championship.

Inside the squared circle both men looked each other up and down. Sydal bouncing ever so slightly from one foot to the next. As soon as the bell rang Wyatt dived onto Sydal, tackling him to the floor and unloading with a flurry of left and right hand shots.

Corey Graves: Wow a really aggressive start there from Wyatt. Looks like he wants to end this one quickly.

Wyatt climbed off Sydal and dragged him to his feet, only to sending him crashing back to the match with a headbutt. With Matt laid out on the floor Bray Wyatt hit the ropes and smashed onto Sydal’s midriff with running senton.

Corey Graves: Pin him Bray this one is over already!

He draped his arm over Sydal for a cover, 1...2… kickout. Bray Wyatt flashed a sadistic looking smile to the crowd as he climbed to his feet and began to taunt Sydal who was struggling to get to his feet. Bray grabbed him by his head and tossed him over the top rope. However Matt Sydal did not fall to the floor, instead he hurdled the top rope and landed on the apron. Without noticing, Bray turned away to taunt the crowd. As soon as he turned around Sydal jumped onto the top rope using it as a springboard he lept towards the eater of worlds and hit a big back elbow which immediately floored Wyatt. Seizing the advantage Sydal climbed to the top rope and waited for Bray to get to his feet before flying through the air with a huge drop kick. But Wyatt had the move scouted and managed to move out of the way, leaving Sydal to land on the floor.

Joey Styles: Good awareness there from Bray, this one could have been over if Sydal had hit that one!

Bray went for another pin, 1...2..kickout! Looking annoyed, Bray dragged Sydal to his feet and Irish whipped him into the corner. Positioning himself the opposite side of the ring, Wyatt charged at Matt for a splash, at the last moment Sydal moved out of the way leaving Bray to smash into the turnbuckle. As he staggered out Matt Sydal hit a huge superkick, flooring Wyatt. With his opponent on the floor Sydal climbed to the top rope and hit Air Sydal.

Joey Styles: My goodness, what a move, it’s like poetry in motion when he flies through the air like that!

Hooking Bray’s leg Sydal went for the pin, 1...2...3! The bell rung and Matt Sydal jump to his feet celebrating his victory.

Joey Styles: What a win for Sydal.

Corey Graves: I know, I wouldn’t have bet on that one before this, but he really brought his A game tonight and took his chances when they came up!

MATCH ONE


Pyro went off all over The Smoothie King Center, and Fallout was ready to kick it off in New Orleans.

Joey Styles: There’s a party tonight on Bourbon Street, and there’s a party inside The Smoothie King Center! Welcome ladies and Gentlemen to Fallout.

Corey Graves: We are just 28 days until Wrestlemania! Tonight on the preshow, we learned that “Reborn” Matt Sydal will take on Carlito to determine which of them will get a shot at the Breakout Championship Match at Wrestlemania fifteen!

#Mmmgorgeous hit the PA, and the crowd had a mixed reaction for Tyler Breeze.

Joey Styles: We’ll find out now who they might be facing. Will it be Prince Pretty, or will it be the current Breakout Champion, Mankind!

With that “Wreck” hit, and Mankind came to the ring to a chorus of boos. He carried the Breakout Championship, but he didn’t wear it. He proceeded down to the ramp, and into the ring, handing the championship over to the referee.
Breeze stopped his selfie-fest when the ref called for the bell and the first match of the night is under way. The crowd began chanting Mankind sucks. Mankind locked in a headlock, but Breeze countered into a hammer lock. Breeze backed Mankind into the corner and the were broken up by the referee.

Corey Graves: The ref wants a little decorum here.

They locked it up back in the center of the ring. Breeze snaped in a wristlock. Mankind powered off and backs away. Breeze locked in another wristlock and Mankind gwent for the ropes for the break. Mankind flattened Breeze with a right hand and dished out some stiff rights and lefts. Mankind called for Socko, but Breeze gave Mankind a huge kick to the gut. Mankind doubled over in pain. Breeze climbed the ropes and hit a falling rock but it appeared as he injured the left knee.

Joey Styles: That’s not good for Tyler Breeze!

Mankind attacked the injured knee. Mankind was right on top of Breeze.

Corey Graves: Mankind is controlling Breeze here, but wait…

Joey Styles: Could it be?

Breeze thought fast, reversing the rollup, and holding on tight as the ref counted 1..2..3!

Joey Styles: Tyler Breeze! He’s the new Breakout Champion!

Corey Graves: What an unbelievable way to start off Fallout!

MATCH TWO

The lights lowered as the EBWF Universe were already on their feet from the outcome of the previous match. The tron flickered right as "Sky's The Limit" by CFO$ blasted on the sound system. The Universe erupted in a loud series of boos as Sasha Banks, flanked The Mean Girls, walked out onto the stage. Sasha held up her hand showing off her "BOSS" ring as she walked down the ramp. Eva Maria and Summer Rae walked side-by-side right behind Sasha Banks, allowing the spotlight to be on Banks tonight. In tow, Karma slowly walked intimidatingly behind the rest of The Mean Girls.

Corey Graves: Here we go Joey. The BOSS is in the building.

Joey Styles: Along with the rest of her posse.

Corey Graves: The Mean Girls are BFFs Joey, they always travel together.

Joey Styles: How can you expect this to be a fair match for Alexa Bliss.

Sasha rounded the ring to the right before she hopped up and sat on the apron. Eva and Summer split the ring as Eva went left and taunted the crowd and Summer went right and headed towards the announcer table. Karma stopped dead in tracks at the edge of the ramp. She turned and looked up the ramp at the entrance way and crossed her arms. Sasha rolled into the ring as she mouthed a few words to the EBWF Universe. Eva Marie walked up the steps to the apron and smirked to the crowd before entering the ring herself.

Summer Rae: The Hobbit's in for it tonight!

Summer screamed right in Joey Styles face before scoffed and turned to and head her way into the ring. Sasha's head turned as he theme music was replaced by "Crushed" by Parkway Drive. The crowd cheered a bit as Alexa Bliss strolled cautiously out onto the stage. She paused and looked at the ring where The Mean Girls, except for Karma, met. Sasha, Summer, and Eva all lined up against the side of the ring facing the stage. The scene eerily resembled that of the Royal Rumble.

Joey Styles: Look at this, Alexa can't even make it into the ring. Do you really think that this is fair Graves?

Corey Graves: Nothing in life is fair Joey, and The Mean Girls never play fair.

Alexa started her walk down the ramp. Her eyes wanted to remain focused on the giant Karma in front of her, but the comments that The Mean Girls were screaming out from the ring kept grabbing her attention. Alexa neared Karma, but Karma stood like a statue. She peered down at Alexa, still fuming from being eliminated by Bliss in the Women's Rumble Match.

Joey Styles: How is Alexa suppose to get in the ring Graves, enlighten me on that.

Alexa stopped and looked at Karma. She looked around and out at the EBWF Universe, who seemed to be wanting Karma and Alexa to go at it. However, Alexa shook her head and turned. She walked along the side of the ramp and headed to the back of the EBWF Universe. The cameraman walked up the ramp and shined the camera down on Alexa as she walked around the Universe and then hopped a railing and walked inside of the Universe. Alexa walked some more until she found the aisle way that lead to the front row. The crowd cheered and attempted to get close to Alexa, but security held them off. Alexa reached the front row and jumped the barrier and was now behind Karma. She smirked over as Karma turned and snarled at her. She waved before she turned her attention to The Mean Girls who still stood directly in front of Alexa.

Joey Styles: Well, that beats the first obstacle in Alexa's path, but now how does she enter the ring?

Corey Graves: She's going to have to get in there with The Mean Girls.

Joey Styles: This isn't a three-on-one match Graves. The ref has to get those two out of there.

Alexa walked up the steps as The Mean Girls crowded the corner of the ring Alexa was trying to enter in. The referee continued to try to back up The Mean Girls, but as one got pushed back, the other two would jump forward. Finally the referee managed to get Summer and Eva out of the ring as Alexa entered. Sasha looked at Alexa and waited. The referee turned from dealing with The Mean Girls and signaled for the bell. Sasha jumped at Alexa and took her down quickly with a double leg.

Joey Styles: Here we go, these two finally get tear each other to shreds.

Sasha screamed out as she grabbed Alexa's hair and slammed her head against the mat over and over. The referee pulled Sasha off and warned her about pulling the hair. Sasha threw up her hand as she went back to Alexa. This time, Alexa jumped at the legs of Sasha and took her down. Alexa begun raining down punches on Sasha before Sasha pushed up her hips and rolled over, turning the tide. Sasha now rained down the punches on Alexa. The referee continued to try and pull the two Divas apart.

Corey Graves: These two want to kill each other Joey.

Joey Styles: If they keep this up, they just might.

Alexa rolled back to the top of the pile and begun to punch at Sasha once again. Sasha moved her body to towards the ropes. Summer and Eva reached into the ring and pull Sasha Banks out from under Alexa by her feet. Sasha stood up outside the ring and held her jaw. Alexa grabbed at Sasha through the ropes but she was just out of reach.

Joey Styles: There you go Graves, we're not even a minute into this match and The Mean Girls have already interjected themselves into the match.

The referee scolded The Mean Girls from inside the ring as Alexa walked away from the group. Sasha walked ring steps and stomped her way up the stairs. Alexa eagerly tried to get at Sasha. Sasha screamed at the referee.

Sasha Banks: GET HER BACK!!

The referee turned and pushed Alexa back away from the corner. Sasha got to the apron and entered the ring, her eyes focused on Sasha. Alexa ran Sasha who ducked herself through the ropes.

Sasha Banks: GET HER BACK REF!!!

The referee put himself in between Bliss and Banks and tried to pull Alexa off. Alexa backed up slightly, but Sasha took this as her chance. Quickly Sasha reached forward and grabbed at Alexa's blonde hair. She pulled Alexa in and slammed her face into the second turnbuckle. Alexa crumbled into the corner and held at her nose. The referee pulled on Sasha and once again warned her about pull the hair. Sasha scoffed and turned around and smiled at the EBWF Universe, who responded with boos. The referee turned and checked on Bliss, but Sasha turned back and instantly took the advantage. She walked over and dropped her foot down on Bliss' chest.

Referee: Come on Sasha, get her out of the corner.!

Sasha waved the referee off and reached down. She picked Bliss up and perched her in the corner. Sasha brought her hand back and brought the edge of hand across Alexa's chest with a chop. Alexa groaned in pain and turned in the corner. Sasha grabbed Alexa's chin and turned her back to her face to face. Sasha moved in closer and begun to criticize Alexa.

Sasha Banks: Do you think you're better than me!! HUH!! DO YOU THINK YOU'RE BETTER!!!

Sasha brought her hand back again, but this time Sasha flung her hand forward slapped Alexa across the face. Sasha laughed as Alexa's head turned to the side from the force of the slap.

Sasha Banks: Come on Blissy!!

Sasha slapped Bliss for a second time. She laughed again and looked down at The Mean Girls who complimented Banks. Sasha turned her attention back to Bliss and was met with a right hand from Alexa. Sasha stumbled backward, which let an opening for Alexa. Alexa push forward and met Sasha with another right hand, and again, and again. Sasha continued to back up until she was in the corner. Alexa locked up and Irish Whipped Banks across the ring. Banks slammed into the turnbuckle and was quickly joined by Bliss. Alexa splashed up against Sasha in the corner. Sasha fell out of the corner and on to the mat, grabbing at her chest. Alexa wasted no time and jumped to the second rope. As Alexa stood up on the second rope, Eva Maria hopped up on the apron across the ring. The referee turned and yelled at Eva to get off the apron.

Joey Styles: What is Summer doing!!

Summer climbed up the steps behind Alexa and reached up. She pushed Alexa off to the side. Alexa's arm and shoulder came down on the top rope, along with the throat of Bliss. Summer got down quickly as Eva Marie dropped off the apron. The referee turned around just as Sasha Banks rolled up Alexa.

Corey Graves: 1... 2..

Alexa threw up her shoulder. Sasha vented her frustration as she slammed her hand on the mat. Both Eva and Summer screamed in at the referee, saying that it was three. Alexa rolled over and grabbed at her arm. Sasha noticed this and grabbed Alexa's arm. She picked it up and slammed the arm down on the mat. Alexa screamed out in pain as she shook her arm.

Joey Styles: Here we go Graves.. Because of Summer Rae, Alexa now has a weak point and Sasha's already started to zero in on it.

Sasha put her foot on Alexa's arm and bent down and started yelling at Alexa again. Sasha stomped down with her other foot right on the shoulder of Bliss. With her foot, Banks pushed Bliss onto her stomach and then dropped down and pulled back on Alexa's arm.

Corey Graves: Banks is tearing apart that that arm in that Arm-Bar. She how she's torquing the shoulder blade back. Sasha has the perfect position here.

Joey Styles: Alexa is streaming out in pain.

The referee checked on Alexa for a submission. Alexa shook her head and the referee called it off. Banks pulled back a little more and arched her back for more leverage over Alexa's arm. The referee continued to check out on Bliss. Alexa pulled her way on the mat until she was able to reach out with her free hand and grab a hold of the bottom rope. The referee jumped up and pulled at Banks to release the hold.

Referee: 1... 2... 3... 4..

Joey Styles: Sasha making use of the complete five count here.

Sasha released the hold right before the referee could reach the five count. Bliss held at her arm as Bank returned to her feet. She threw her arms up in the air as the referee scolded her about releasing the hold. Sasha returned to Alexa and leaned down. By the hair, Banks pulled Bliss up to her feet. The referee mentioned the hair once again. Sasha stood in front of Bliss and brought her foot up for a Front Kick. Bliss caught Sasha's foot and shook her head. Bliss threw the foot downward and sprung forward and connect with a Clothesline with her bad arm.

Joey Styles: Alexa connecting with the Clothesline, but she used her bad arm.

Corey Graves: Bad choice there by Alexa.

Alexa grabbed at her arm and was not able to capitalize on the moment. Sasha rolled away from Bliss and got up to her knees. Winded, she looked over at Bliss. Alexa got to her feet first and walked over to Banks. Sasha punched the midsection of Alexa and stopped her in her tracks. Alexa hunched over, but then brought her knee up across Sasha's jaw. Sasha fell backward and crashed against the mat. Alexa dropped down and covered Sasha.

Referee: 1... 2..

Sasha got get shoulder up. Alexa rose to her knees as Sasha turned over looking dazed. Alexa reached forward and picked Sasha up. The two Divas returned to their feet. Bliss grabbed at Sasha's head and tucked her into her hip. Alexa twisted her body and spun Banks around with a Neck-breaker. Banks neck slammed to the mat hard. She instantly grabbed at it as Bliss rolled over into a cover. The referee dropped down once again.

Referee: 1... 2..

Banks pushed up her shoulder once again. Bliss looked back at the referee in shock. The referee held up two fingers signaling that it was a two count. Bliss shook her head as she grabbed her shoulder. She returned to her feet.

Joey Styles: Alexa's starting to get the upper hand here. But she still has to watch out for Summer and Eva on the outside.

Alexa lined up Banks before she turned her back to her. Alexa looked over her shoulder and down at Sasha. Alexa leaned backward and flipped over. She brought her knees up in the flip and dropped her knees across the midsection of Banks.

Corey Graves: Glitz Flip!!

Joey Styles: Alexa may have it here.

Banks rolled over holding her stomach. Alexa slid into position and turned Sasha on her back. She hooked the leg and rolled Banks over her body for more leverage.

Joey Styles: 1... 2...

Banks forcibly kicked out just as the referee was bringing his hand down to the mat. The EBWF Universe erupted as Sasha was able to kick. Alexa rolled to her knees and grabbed at her hair as she looked at the referee. He held up his fingers and signaled that it was once again only a two count. Alexa looked around at the Universe shocked. A sign of relief was seen by both Eva Marie and Summer Rae at ringside.

Joey Styles: Alexa almost had it there!!

Corey Graves: The BOSS can't be stopped..

Joey Styles: What does Alexa have to do to put away Sasha Banks?

Corey Graves: I don't think Alexa has what it takes to beat the BOSS... Alexa just got lucky at the Royal Rumble Joey, and we're seeing it here tonight.

Alexa sat there on her knees as she looked stunned. Sasha laid to the side of Alexa clenching her stomach. Alexa rose to her feet once again and looked down at Sasha. Alexa turned her head and looked at the turnbuckle. The EBWF Universe jumped up to her feet, she smirked her spiteful sneer as she turned her attention want to Sasha. Alexa walked over to the ropes, but just as she was about to climb to the top, Summer Rae and Eva Marie attacked out of nowhere. The referee instantly called for the bell. The ringing of the bell was heard clearly as Summer and Eva begun to pound away on Alexa in the corner. Sasha rolled to the edge of the ring while Alexa dropped to the mat under the assault of The Mean Girls.

Joey Styles: I TOLD YOU GRAVES!! THE MEAN GIRLS ARE ATTACK ALEXA!!

Summer dropped to the mat on her knees. She smashed her fist down on top of Bliss as Eva stood tall and stomped down at Alexa's mid-section. Karma put her arms to the side and took a couple of steps towards the ring. This being the first time she moved since the start of the match. Karma reached up and grabbed the second rope and pulled herself in onto the apron. She stood up and stepped over the top rope and entered the ring. Summer and Eva pulled Alexa by her hair to the center of the ring. Alexa, kicking and screaming was brought right to the feet of Karma. Karma tilted her head as she looked down at Bliss. Karma screamed a tribal roar before reaching down and grabbing Alexa. Karma hooked the arms of Alexa and tucked them back as she lifted Alexa into the air in the center of the ring.

Joey Styles: Karma has Alexa!! Somebody has to do something.

Corey Graves: Why don't you get in there and tell Karma to stop?

Karma sneered as she held Alexa upside down. Summer and Eva both bend down and got in the face of Alexa and continued to scream at her. Sasha Banks returned to her feet and walked over to the center of the ring. She bent down and pulled at Alexa's hair and lifted her head slightly.

Sasha Banks: You don't look so tough now pipsqueak!! What now!! What are you finna try!!

The Mean Girls all laughed as the took a step backward. For a few more seconds, Karma held Alexa, allowing all of the blood to flow to her head. Sasha walked around the ring and then stood next to Karma. She looked up at her and Karma looked right back. Sasha gave a nod and smirked. Karma screamed out again and slammed forward.

Joey Styles: IMPLANT BUSTER!! KARMA JUST HIT ALEXA BLISS WITH THE IMPLANT BUSTER!!!

Karma stayed on her knees as she tilted her head and stared at the seemingly lifeless body of Alexa Bliss. Sasha put her hand on Karma's shoulder and gave her a slight nudge. Karma rose to her feet and took a step away from Alexa's body. Sasha stood over Alexa and continue to bad mouth her as the EBWF Universe flooded the arena with boos and jeers. Sasha walked around Alexa's body with a cocky swagger to her walk.

Corey Graves: Uh oh Joey, it doesn't look like Sasha's finished.

Joey Styles: Someone needs to get out here and get The Mean Girls out of the ring.

Sasha slowly sat down next to Alexa and looked at her displeased. Sasha rolled eyes before she paint-brushed the back of Alexa's head with her hand. Sasha then took a handful of Alexa's hair and balled it up in her hand. She pulled back on Alexa's head and got right in her ear.

Sasha Banks: You should have never came back, Princess....

Sasha then adjusted her hands and pulled straight back. Alexa's body contorted in ways that a human body was never suppose to bend. Sasha screamed as she shook Alexa's body at the peak of pulling back.

Joey Styles: SASHA BANKS HAS THE BANK STATEMENT ON ALEXA!!!

Sasha continued to pull back, nearly touching the feet of Alexa. Referee's stormed the ring and instantly jumped at Sasha. Multiple referee's attempted force Sasha Banks to release the hold. Eventually, Sasha released the hold and rolled out of the ring. Alexa laid in the center of the ring as the other members of The Mean Girls exited the ring. A couple of referees went with The Mean Girls as they walked back up the ramp. The rest of the referees stayed in the in ring and checked on Alexa Bliss.

MATCH THREE

“Worlds Apart” hit the PA and the crowd came to their feet for the arrival of Sami Zayn.

Corey Graves: He’s back!

Christy Hemme: Introducing, from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, weighing in at 205 pounds, Sami Zayn.

Joey Styles: Sami Zayn was taken out of action at the hands of AJ Styles at Christmas Eve of Destruction, and here he is two months later, ready to take on the Phenomenal One!

“Get Ready to Fly” hit, bringing in the aggressive AJ Styles.

Christy Hemme: And his opponent, from Atlanta, Georgia, the Phenomenal One, AJ Styles!

As AJ got into the ring, “Zayn” chats started. The two men circled each other, hands outstretched. Their fingers made brief contact a few times but they quickly pulled away. Finally they grasped hands and slammed their shoulders together, trying to push each other down. They pulled back but kept their hands clenched, and tried to outmaneuver each other. AJ threw some kicks to Zayn’s legs, until Zayn drove his shoulder into his gut and flipped him over in a modified Northern Lights suplex.

Corey Graves: A huge move for Zayn! Can he get the pin?

Zayn applied a bridge and the referee began to count. AJ bridged up before two, slid his back against Zayn's and pulled him over into his own pin. Zayn kicked out at one to the roar of the crowd.

Joey Styles: Neither man able to close the deal there.

Zayn and AJ met in the center of the ring, and Styles slapped Sami hard across the face. Zayn smiled, and returned his own open palm strike to the side of the head. Staggered, AJ came back with a closed right hand, and the two began trading bombs. Sami got the better of the exchange before finally taking AJ off his feet with a short arm clothesline.

Joey Styles: Styles is down!

Corey Graves: But not out!

Zayn pumped up the crowd and charged at the Phenomenal One, who ducked and caught him with a Pele Kick. He followed that up by lifting Sami onto his shoulders and dropped him neck first against his knee, followed up by a hard kick to the chest. AJ climbed to the top rope, looking for the Spiral Tap, but Zayn popped back to his feet and met him up top. They traded punches, and Zayn hooked his arm in place and started to lift him, teasing the Brainbustah. Styles fought out of it, and both dropped off the turnbuckle and landed on their feet, AJ on the apron and Zayn in the ring. Styles knocked Zayn away with a forearm shot then leapt up onto the rope ready for his springboard punch but Zayn caught him head on with a running boot, sending him crashing to the floor.

Joey Styles: These two men are tearing each other apart!

Zayn pumped up the crowd to the sound of "OLE" before diving through the middle rope to give Styles a tornado DDT on the outside. He struggled to roll AJ back into the ring but made it by the count of eight. As he went to pick Styles back up, he was caught in the Calf Killer. He nearly tapped, but with one last surge of strength made the ropes. AJ tried to pull him away to reapply the hold but Zayn elbowed him in the jaw and gave him the exploder into the turnbuckle. He followed that up with the Helluva Kick and it was good for the three.

Corey Graves: That’s going to do it! Sami Zayn! Sami Zayn with a victory over AJ Styles!

Zayn celebrated his emotional return victory with fans for several minutes, before the promo for CM Punk’s return began.

MATCH FOUR

Joey Styles: Up next, we've got the Straight Edge Superstar CM Punk making his in ring return against Jay Briscoe!

"Give Me Back My Bullets" by Lynyrd Skynyrd hit and the crowd booed as Jay Briscoe headed to the ring. When Briscoe was in the ring, "Cult of Personality" by Living Colour hit, and the crowd cheered as CM Punk stepped out onto the stage. Punk pounded his chest, shouted "It's Clobbering Time!", then headed to the ring. Upon entering the ring, he looked across at his opponent, who began mouthing off at him. The referee called for the bell, and Briscoe charged towards him, but Punk was ready for him and hit a series of right hands. He then hit Briscoe with a spinning back kick to the gut, before following it up with a roundhouse kick. Briscoe got to his feet and Punk whipped him against the ropes, hitting a discus clothesline. Briscoe got to his feet once more and Punk hit a double underhook backbreaker, then hooked the leg. The referee counted – 1... 2... kickout!

Corey Grave: A strong start from CM Punk, Joey... the Straight Edge Superstar is back with a vengeance!

Punk got to his feet and stomped on Briscoe several times, then pulled him to his feet and whipped him into the corner. He ran at Briscoe and hit a step-up high knee, then took him down with a bulldog. Punk went to apply the Koji clutch, but Briscoe fought out of it and both men got to their feet. Briscoe hit Punk with a European uppercut, then took him down with a reverse STO. Briscoe punched Punk against the mat several times, before pulling him to his feet and setting him up for the Death Valley Driver. Punk wriggled free, countering with a reverse DDT. Both men got to their feet once more, and Punk hit a tiger suplex, then went to the top rope. After pointing to the heavens, Punk hit a diving elbow drop!

Joey Styles: CM Punk paying tribute to the late, great Randy Savage!

Punk hooked the leg and the referee counted – 1... 2... kickout! Punk signalled for the GTS, then waited for Briscoe to get to his feet. When Briscoe was up, Punk lifted him onto his shoulders... but Briscoe broke free, then hit a superkick! Briscoe hooked the leg – 1... 2... Punk kicked out!

Corey Graves: I can't believe it, Joey... Jay Briscoe almost stole one!

Both men got to their feet, and exchanged right hands back and forth. Briscoe gained the upper hand, and after whipping Punk against the ropes, he went for a big boot. Punk ducked out of the way, ran against the ropes, then hit Briscoe with a lag lariat. Briscoe got back to his feet, and Punk flipped him onto the mat, applying the Anaconda Vise!

Joey Styles: Oh my god, the Anaconda Vise! This could be it right here!

Briscoe tried to get to the ropes, but they were out of reach. Punk applied more pressure, and Briscoe cried out in pain, then tapped out! The referee called for the bell, Punk broke the hold and got to his feet. The referee raised his arm in victory as "Cult of Personality" blasted through the arena.

Corey Grave: What a performance by CM Punk tonight, Joey! The Chicago native showing the EBWF fans why he calls himself the Best in the World!

Punk celebrated, then made his way to the back as Briscoe recovered in the ring.

MATCH FIVE

Christy Hemme: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the Women’s Championship!

Kelis ‘Bossy’ came over the speakers , and Trish Stratus entered with a lot of fire and determination. She pointed to the crowd and they cheer her on.

Christy Hemme: Introducing first, the challenger. From Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Trish Stratus!

Corey Graves: Generally you would give a fighter’s weight before a bout, but it seems that Christy considers that improper for this bout.

Dale Oliver’s ‘Angel On My Shoulder’ brought out Velvet Sky, wearing her title belt backward so the camera can see it when she did her entrance booty shake.

Christy Hemme: And her opponent, from New York City, she is the EBWF Women’s Champion, Velvet Sky!

Joey Styles: Stratus asked for this opportunity, and you have to admire Velvet for being a fighting champion and agreeing to the match.

Corey Grave: I admire many things about Velvet Sky, Joey.

The two women came face to face in the middle of the ring, with the champion talking trash and poking Stratus in the shoulder.

Joey Styles: Velvet Sky showing an aggressive streak here tonight.

Corey Graves: That’s what it takes to stay champion in this business, Joseph.

Joey Styles: I asked you in the production meeting to not call me Joseph.

Corey Graves: I know.

Stratus didn’t back down to Velvet’s browbeating, so Velvet gave her a hard shove. Trish planted her foot and swung back with a hard right hand, sending the champion scrambling to a huge ovation. Stratus was right behind her, climbing onto her back to slam her face first into the mat several times. The referee pulled her off and she played to the crowd before charging at Sky with a basement dropkick. Velvet rolled towards the ropes and tried in vain to kick Stratus away as she clung on to pull herself up. The referee once again intervened, stepping between Trish and Velvet to get Trish away from the ropes. Velvet took the opportunity to regain her footing and threw a vicious forearm over the referee’s shoulder, followed with three more in quick succession to knock Stratus to the mat. Velvet picked her up and attempted to whip her into the turnbuckle but Trish reversed it and pulled Velvet in for a kick to the gut.

Joey Styles: A very driven Trish Stratus this evening, she of course already holds one half of the women’s tag titles, but if Chris Jericho can be a double champ why can’t Stratus? She is setting Velvet up for a suplex.

Corey Graves: Velvet trying to block it, getting the leg up. And now desperately throwing punches to the ribs of Stratus but she won’t let go of the hold.

Joey Styles: Snap suplex! Sky goes crashing into the mat with tremendous force.

Corey Graves: I feel bad for my girl Velvet, she can’t seem to get out of first gear against a very aggressive Trish Stratus.

Joey: Stratus trying to lift her off the mat, Velvet is grabbing onto the referee practically beggin him to help her again. He’s not going to help you now.

Corey Graves: He just did, Joey. Velvet yanking the referee into Stratus and they collide headfirst!

The referee fell to the mat in a daze. A stunned Stratus stumbled backwards and turned around into a Velvet Sky jumping clothesline. As both women jockeyed back to their feet, Sky grabbed Trish from behind and dropped her back to the mat with a wheelbarrow facebuster before rolling out of the ring.

Joey Styles: Where’s the champion going, Corey?

Corey Graves: To grab an insurance policy.

Joey Styles: Sky slides back into the ring and she’s bringing the Women’s Championship with her!

Corey Graves: I told you Joey, the killer instinct is what sets a champ apart from the rest! Sky has created an opening for herself, and now comes the killshot!

Joey Styles: Stratus back to her feet, and Sky nails her with the belt! Referee seeing her make the cover, not like this!

Corey Graves: Exactly like this, Joey! One! Two!

Joey Styles: NO! Stratus kicks out and Sky is shocked!

A frustrated Velvet picked up the title and readied herself to hit Trish again despite the referee’s stern warnings. As Trish reached her feet, Velvet charged but the referee grabbed the strap mid-swing. The two engaged in a game of tug-of-war, with the referee ultimately pulling the belt out of her hands. With an angry scream, Velvet turned back around and took a Chick Kick to the face. Trish made the cover.

1!

2!

Kick out!

Velvet managed to barely kick out right before the three, but Stratus picked her off the mat, pointed at the belt, and ran the ropes.

Corey Graves: Stratusfaction! Damn, I thought Velvet really had this one Joey.

Joey Styles: Not if Stratus can get the One! Two! Three!

DING DING!

Christy Hemme: Here is your winner, and NEW WOMEN’S CHAMPION, Trish Stratus!

Joey Styles: And with that, we now have two double champions in EBWF! But can we still say that after this night is over?

Joey Styles: And the moment we’ve all been waiting for is here!

Corey Graves: Yes, Joey. It is time for our main event.

“Oh My Here We Go!”

The crowd came to their feet.

Joey Styles: And it seems the winner of the 2016 Royal Rumble, Mr. Wes Ikeda, is on his way to the ring.

Wes stepped out onto the ramp wearing a pair of distressed jeans, with black lace-up work boots, and a blue t-shirt that read Hold #1004… ARMBAR! Wes went around the ring, and proceeded to the announce table.

Corey Graves: Oh, it would appear he’s coming this way. Hello, Wes, sir. Pick yourself up a headset there.

Wes leaned over the table to pick up a headset, and came around to an empty chair to put it on.

Wes Ikeda: Hello, Joey, Corey.

Joey Styles: Welcome to our humble announce table.

Wes Ikeda: Yeah, nice digs you got here. Congrats on being the lead announcers on Warfare, you guys are doing an amazing job.

“Awwwweeeesssoooommmmeeee.” ‘I Came to Play’ hit and the announce table was quiet as Christy Hemme announced the challenger.

Joey Styles: It wasn’t too long ago, Wes, that you were helping The Miz out of a bind.

Wes Ikeda: I did. That was more for my benefit than his. I’m not sure it was a good move on my part. I know he wouldn’t do the same for me.

Corey Graves: So you and Miz aren’t friends?

Wes Ikeda: There are no friends in this business.

Joey Styles: I’ve known Chris Jericho for many, many years.

Wes Ikeda: You’ve known me for many, many years.

Joey Styles: I was about to say… you and Jericho are friends.

Wes Ikeda: There are no friends in this business. Chris is my brother.

The lights went out.

Wes Ikeda: Oh, here he comes now…

The countdown from five hit and the crowd began to cheer. Jericho entered the arena with his light up jacket and the EBWF World Championship around his waist. Christy Hemme introduced him.

Joey Styles: Let’s find out who your opponent will be!

1…

Joey Styles: Say hello to your Wrestlemania Opponent!

2….

Jericho kicked out at two.

Wes Ikeda: I’m beginning to think you’re a big Miz fan Joey.

Joey Styles: Well, he is your favorite wrestler’s favorite wrestler.

Wes Ikeda: My favorite Wrestler is Shawn Michaels and the Miz is sure as shit not his favorite wrestler…

Miz applied the figure four leg lock.

Corey Graves: The lead producer is asking me to let you know that your profanity was successfully edited by the truck.

Wes Ikeda: Well excuse the hell out of me, Mrs. Lead Producer, but I get very passionate when people accuse my heroes of liking the Miz. Bayley wouldn’t even hug him!

Joey Styles: Chris Jericho is in trouble here.

Indeed, Jericho was trapped in the figure four and looked to be teasing a tap out until he finally made his way to the bottom rope to force the break.
The referee separated the two men, and once Jericho was up he hit a knee and then a forearm to Miz. He drilled Miz into a corner and then stomped him down. Miz grabbed Jericho into a backslide for two, then another pin for two. Jericho ducked out rather than being kicked in the head. He slid out of the ring, and began pacing.

Wes Ikeda: No, no… just here to regroup.

Jericho low dropkicked Miz’s hip, then baseball slid him from the ring. Miz fell to the outside and the ref started to count. Jericho paced inside the ring, yelling smack.

Chris Jericho: Have you had enough, Mike?

Joey Styles: I don’t think we’ve seen Jericho this aggressive in a long, long time.

Wes Ikeda: I told you he’s getting angry. Miz doesn’t get to say the stuff he said this week, and not rile up Chris Jericho. Jericho has earned himself a reputation for being a nice guy. He’s the 2015 Wrestler of the Year, and he’s likely to repeat that in 2016. Mike ran his mouth just a little too much, and I’ve had enough drunken shouting matches to know that you don’t get to say the things Miz said about Chris Jericho this week without hearing a little bit of hard truth right back.

Corey Graves: What about the stuff Miz said about you?

Wes Ikeda: Curious wasn’t it? I was flattered at how concerned Miz seemed to be with me, but I don’t let insignificant people distract me.

Styles was going to follow up on that but Miz was back in at nine. Jericho jumped on Miz before he got to his feet knowing him around with some hard punches. Jericho got Miz up for a suplex but Miz wiggled around and Jericho falled back with Miz on top, Miz pinned for two. Jericho proceeded with knees and kicks to Miz, but Miz fought back sitting Jericho down in a corner. He hit a low dropkick to Jericho and Miz pinned for two. Jericho managed to lock on the Walls of Jericho, but Miz swiftly countered out. Miz somehow hit a DDT on Jericho for two. Miz followed up with a front facelock on Jericho who kicked out.

Wes Ikeda: This is one hell of a matchup.

Jericho landed a backbreaker for two then kicked Miz in the side. Another backbreaker to Miz and Jericho stretchesd the Miz over his knee. Jericho yelled at the ref to, “ask him!” Miz says no.

Wes Ikeda: Tap you idiot!

Jericho stretched him more, and the ref asked Miz again. Miz gave a firm no and and kicked his way free. Miz rushed Jericho in a corner but ate a back elbow. Jericho sits up top, but somehow Miz jumps up and nails head scissors on Jericho for two.

Joey Styles: We’ve never seen anything like that from Miz before!

Wes Ikeda: And probably never will again, because that damn near killed him!

Miz was up and saddled Jericho, trying to keep him down, by sitting across his chest, knees in his shoulders. Miz repeatedly hit Jericho’s head on the back of the mat. Jericho reversed the awkward positioning, flopping Miz onto his stomach and locking on the Walls of Jericho, and locking it on tight! Miz almost made it to the ropes, but Jericho pulled him back. Miz finally made it to the ropes and Jericho was extremely frustrated. Miz, on the apron, kicked Jericho in the back of the head. He hurried back in, getting his hands on Jericho for the back body drop. Jericho popped up and hit the Code Breaker.

1…

Joey Styles: That could do it!

2…

Wes Ikeda: Look at the pretty lights, Mike!

3!

Corey Graves: Chris Jericho has retained! Chris Jericho is still the EBWF World Champion!

He was given his championship and Jericho held it above his head with one arm as the other was raised in victory. Jericho celebrated for a moment as the crowd cheered. The camera focused on the announce table, where Wes, still wearing his headset had stood to his feet to applaud. Jericho pointed to the Wrestlemania sign, then to himself. Then to Wes.

Chris Jericho: You and me.

He pointed to the Wrestlemania sign again.

Wes Ikeda: I look forward to it.

“Break the Walls Down” hit and Fallout ended, with Chris Jericho leaving the arena with the EBWF World Championship.
