Hello fans and
welcome back to our newsletter. Today’s show comes to you LIVE from Kansas
City, MO – the home of Master Bull/Centurion.
Before the show can begin, we see Centurion (who gets a huge pop from
the KC crowd) approach Hogan’s office.
He walks in without being invited in.
Centurion tells Hogan that this is HIS town and HE is performing in the
main event so Hogan had best find him an opponent. Hogan tells Centurion that he is in
luck. “It just so happens, brother that
the European title held by Jay Lethal needs to be defended. You and he can have a match and the winner
gets the title. Good luck,
Brother.” Centurion furrows his brow at
Hogan wondering what he is up to but just nods and walks out. Hogan then picks up the phone and closes the
door on the cameraman.
The first match
of the night is CWO member Dirk “the Pick” Devon taking on the monster
Abyss. Dirk was accompanied by his
partner The Axe. At first Dirk didn’t
want to get in the ring with him but relented after a pep talk from the Axe. In a very surprising move, Dirk owned
Abyss. He never let the monster get much
in for offense. Right about the 13
minute mark, Dirk went to talk to Axe and it looked like something was slipped
into Dirk’s elbow pad. Dirk then charged
and nailed a clothesline and Abyss looked to be out cold. Dirk made the cover and got the win. Dirk moves on in the tournament.
Next on the card
is the second tournament match with AJ Styles taking on Daniel Bryan. In a very surprising match, this one only
goes 5 minutes with Daniel Bryan getting the win after nailing a missile
dropkick. The final between Bryan and
Dirk Devon will be later in the show.
Next on the card
is our tag team match that is a tables match with the Dudleys taking on RVD and
Ryback. Hogan said that the winner of
this match will be in line for a tag team title shot. Before the match could begin, Bubba got on
the mic and said that the specialty type has changed slightly and now this is
an ECW rules match. Rob smiled but
Ryback looked worried.
Rob and Ryback
owned the Dudleys until the final moments of the match. A quick tag out to Rob and as he was going
for the 5 star frog splash, Devon and Bubba nailed a 3D through a table. Devon takes out Ryback and Bubba makes the
cover and gets the pin. The Dudleys are
now contenders for the Tag team titles held by VamChango and that they will
take their match at Clash of the Champions.
This brought out the #1 contenders the Mexicali Flyers. The Flyers said that they should in fact be
getting the match at the clash but issue a challenge to the Dudleys. If the Flyers win, they get the title shot
and if the Dudley’s win, they do. Both
parties agreed and shook hands.
Next on the card
is Shield member Roman Reigns vs Captain Charisma Christian. In a very dominating performance, Reigns took
the match to the former champion and in 11 minutes, gets the win after hitting
a powerbomb. I would be very surprised
if Reigns wasn’t going after a title very soon.
Dirk and Daniel
Bryan come out next for their match.
Dirk tried to complain to the ref about fighting so soon and not getting
enough rest but the ref shoved him and told him to man up. Dirk did, in fact, man up as he totally
dominated Daniel Bryan but try as he could, he could not pin Daniel. The match was closing in on the 30 minute
time limit and Dirk was running out of steam.
The clock on the wall started counting down the remaining seconds and
Dirk, in a desperate act, caught Bryan in a Tama Bearhug and lowered the
shoulders to the mat. The ref makes the
count and with only seconds to spare, Dirk Devon gets the win. The Axe comes out to celebrate with his
partner and they leave with Dirk’s arms raised in victory.
In the back,
Hogan stops Roman Reigns and congratulates him on such a great
performance. “For that, brother, I think
you should get a title shot. In fact, I
think you are the perfect opponent for X-Division Champion Casey Jones. At the Clash, you get a shot at gold.” Reigns nodded his thanks and left.
The main event
of the evening is home town hero Centurion taking on Jay Lethal for the European title. Hogan came out and said that this would have
a 60 minute time limit and the no count out rule would be in effect. Before the match could begin, HWF and
Undisputed Champion Bray Wyatt came out accompanied by the Warrior of Truth and
the Super Warrior. Centurion, filled with
the energy of the KC crowd and well as the Roman Warriors of the past, took the
match to the champ and blew the roof off the house. Lethal had no idea how to stop him. Towards the end, Lethal nails a double axe
handle smash but then gets dumped out of the ring. Had there been the countout rule in place,
Lethal would have been counted out.
Instead, he used the extra time to gather his bearings and climbed to
the top turnbuckle to execute the flying elbow smash. He waited a second too long as Centurion
popped up and nailed a one-arm chokeslam and PINNED the champ. HOLY CRAP – Centurion just won the European
Title. Bray and the Warriors got in the
ring with Centurion and they all celebrated as balloons and confetti fell from
the ceiling.
That’s all for now. As we continue to ramp up to the PPV, things
are sure to get more exciting. Stay
Tuned.
