Friday Night Foundations IV

In some footage that was pre-recorded, Myra Rivers is seen in an alley near the arena that consists of the appropriate amount of darkness. She definitely has a lot on her mind, particularly the events of two weeks ago, some of the words that have been said and other things. She’s definitely looking concerned, but at the same time, her confidence isn’t wavering at all as she begins to speak her mind.

Myra Rivers: Two weeks ago, Jolyne and I had one hell of a match that I was able to win and of course I’m happy about that. Then a little while later, we mixed it up with the Lost. Now? I’ve got to team up with someone I literally just faced two weeks ago and someone that seems to prefer being a lone wolf above all else going up against Noah Ortega and “the Lost”. If anyone knows about being “lost”, it’s me. I know what I am now. I know that I do everything that I’ve got to do in order to do GOOD for this business, but it was four to seven years ago when I was on the opposite side of the spectrum. I conducted myself in a similar manner to how Ortega and his crew behave now.

Myra takes a pause, seemingly showing some regret for past sins.

Myra Rivers: I wanted to control everything by any means necessary. Bridges were burned, I can definitely say that for a fact. It was a stretch of my career that I am no means proud of considering it was a time of my career when I was consumed by the darkness I had in me. Thankfully, that darkness isn’t there anymore. I KNOW how to win against people like the Lost because I’ve BEEN there and I know what it takes to takes them down. I’m going to do everything in my power to do what needs to be done to bring them down and to stop the spread of their threat around here before it starts. I’m in this! But I have to ask something that is going to ruffle some feathers…

Myra glares at the camera, showing that she’s not too concerned about this.

Myra Rivers: Are you in this with me? Or are you in this for yourselves? Mckena is a solid young talent, no question about that. Unfortunately, she’s stated that she’d rather prefer to take Noah one on one. I get that, and I appreciate the fight, but she’s not fighting Noah Ortega one on one tonight. It’s best to stay focused on the common goal in the moment. I HOPE she doesn’t forget that because I would hate to be on a side where one person is more focused on another mission than the mission at hand. And then Jolyne Ferolino? Yeah, I can’t say I was happy with some of the things she said about me. Seriously. She tried to act as if she knows every fiber of who I am and what I am all about. She even brought my own daughter into this, mentioning that she was going to be disappointed and all of that. That type of thing? It doesn’t sit well with me. Say what you want about me and it’s ‘whatever’ to me. But bring my daughter into it? Not cool!

Myra takes a momentary pause to express this brief anger on her face.

Myra Rivers: I’m sure the fact that I beat her two weeks ago doesn’t sit well with her in the same vein that bringing up my daughter doesn’t sit well with me. I don’t know about her, but at least I can tell you for a fact that it’s something that I am willing to put aside and forget about because the mission is what matters… as I learned so long ago when I was training to become a professional wrestler. If we ARE a united front, I know we’ve got this and we’ll shut down the plague that wants to tear down everything in its path here. If my partners are too focused on their own feelings and their own wants and desires, then it’s going to be harder to pull through. BUT, I’m not losing faith in them. It may be naive to think this, but I do feel like there can and will be a united front when it’s all said and done. So Noah… you and your boys better find a damn compass quickly…

Because tonight?

The ones that will be “lost” will be ALL of you… and I’m not just talking about in name only…

Your darkness is something that can’t destroy me anymore and I’ll see to it somehow that your plague is slowed down significantly tonight…

Myra maintains her poise through it all as she heads out of the alley. The pre-recorded shot then fades out. We cut backstage to McKena Hardy stretching out, getting ready for her big six way tag. Suddenly, Chris Night, her mentor, walked into the frame.

Chris Night: How’re you holding up?

McKena looked up at Chris and smiled.

McKena Hardy: I’m good. I’m ready to go out there and finally get one over on these Lost assholes, you know? Especially Noah. Cut off the snake of the head and all that.

Chris sighed and shook his head.

Chris Night: I understand why you want to target him but you know better than that. Be a team player out there, trust in Jolyne Ferolino and Myra Rivers, especially Myra, she has a ton of experience. Just work together and there’s no way you lose. The Lost has used their numbers game to get by but this time, the odds are even.

McKena smiled and nodded.

McKena Hardy: I’m sorry, you’re right. I guess I’ve just let it all get to me a bit. But I won’t now. I’ll be focused on working with Jolyne and Myra and together? We’ll take down The Lost and show them that they aren’t anything without their numbers advantage.

Chris gave McKena a tap on the shoulder and smiled.

Chris Night: I believe in you and I know that you’ll go out there and do the right thing.

McKena gave Chris a big hug and nodded.

McKena Hardy: You know it! Now get out of here! You’ve got your own big match to prepare for.

Chris Night: Yeah, yeah! Doesn’t mean I can’t come check in on my favorite student. See you later tonight!

Chris walked off and McKena went back to her match prep before the scene cut away.

Match Two JJ Nova vs Taylor w/ Femme Fatale Before the match started, Taylor made her way out to the ring with her manager, as well as her Femme Fatale galpals, Maria Caruso and Sofie Papas. JJ looks at them from the ring, all four of them, and takes a big gulp but looks more than ready for them. The bell rings and the match goes as you'd expect, with Taylor trying anything and everything to pull off some kind of shenanigans. She distracted the referee as JJ tried to bounce off the ropes, only to be yanked back by Hans. Maria and Sofie bought jumped up onto the apron at separate times in attempts to distract either the referee or Nova himself. JJ held his own despite the ongoing offense from the three around the ring, coupled with Taylor herself. He wowed the crowd with a frontflip DDT that took Taylor off her guard, and knocked her back down with a shining wizard when she tried to get up. Hurt, she rolled from the ring and into the arms of her manager, Hans, in order to catch her breath. The referee begins a count on her, urging her to get back inside the ring. While the referee isn't looking, Maria got herself into the ring, giving JJ a lowblow followed by a facebreaker from Sofie before they slide out of the ring. By the time the referee turns around, they are on the outside but JJ is still on the mat. Taylor slides in, and the referee warns her posse, threatening to toss them out. Taylor takes offense and begins arguing with the ref, which brings Hans into the ring and tries to stomp away at JJ. However, he's causing too much noise which causes the ref to turn around and call for the bell. Taylor is pissed, slapping the referee across the face, causing him to turn around right into a spinebuster from Hans. The turn their attention back to JJ first, who has been playing a little possum. She grabs Maria by the neck and tosses her from the ring, before hitting a springboard dropkick to Sofie which knocks her through the second rope to the outside. Taylor immediately slides out of the ring, not wanting ANY of that, but JJ has grabbed Hans into a leghook backpack. The three girls gather in the middle of the ramp as Hans yells out in pain. JJ looks at the three of them, before transitioning into a sitout scoop slam piledriver he calls the L12! The group known as Femme Fatale yell up the ramp at Nova as he kicks Hans from te ring and then checks on the referee. WINNER JJ Nova FINISHING MOVE Interference

The House of Wrestling interviewer, Yahamamoto appears on the screen with a microphone in hand.

Yahamamoto: THIS is Yahamamoto! House of Wrestling NUMBA ONE interviewer! I am here with Civil Champion, Davina King...

She enters the shot, Civil Championship on her shoulder.

Davina King: Hey Yaha, how are you doin today?

Yahamamoto: Yahamamoto is...numba one!

Davina nods and smiles because she's trying to remain polite.

Yahamamoto: Davina King - what do you have to say about your opponent tonight??

Davina King: Bianca Page? I've seen her around and we've all heard her around. She's probably one of the loudest here in House of Wrestling, and she's all over twitter. I can't help but feel her bark is gonna be worse than her bite.

Yahamamoto: How do you feel about bodyguard - Darcy Graves? Or boyfriend - Dashing Diaz?

Davina King: Well Yaha, as I learned on twitter, Diaz ain't Bianca's boyfriend. He's just some creep but we ALL know he's out to do anything and everything for Bianca. Whether she wants it or not, that makes him dangerous. On top of that now she's enlisted Darcy to be her boyfriend. If I was her, I wouldn't have accepted that job. Darcy is Violent Champion, which is impressive, so why the hell is she working for Bianca now? If Darcy had any self-respect, she woulda turned that job down. But Bianca? Bianca is trynna build some mafia to get herself a championship belt. And now MINE is on her agenda? NU UH!

She waves her finger in the camera.

Davina King: I sent Taylor back to the lower card and Imma do the same with Bianca!

All of a sudden, a masked person comes from out of nowhere and attacks Davina! She drops her championship trying to defend herself but she is caught off guard, and sent flying into the wall! The masked offender stomps away at Davina as Yahamamoto yells for help! The scene fades out, and re-emerges on Chris Night is pacing back and forth in his locker room before he turned toward the camera and looked into it with a serious demeanor.

Chris Night: Tonight means a lot. It means earning another shot at the Grand Championship and getting the opportunity to put Mikey Svarro down. But as you can tell, Mikey has made a lot of enemies already. Alex, Holden and myself. But Rumble Reyes is his buddy. So, why else would Mikey be ringside?

Chris shook his head.

Chris Night: You all know why. He’s trying to protect himself and in a match of this sort? A Fatal Four Way? It’s No DQ. Mike can help his buddy win and then his buddy can throw their match. I’m not dumb and neither are Alex and Holden. We’re not going to let you have your way, Mikey. One of us is going to win and then? Then one of us will become Grand Champion.

Night stepped closer to the camera, his eyes staying fixated on it.

Chris Night: But if you want my humble opinion? It’s going to be me that wins tonight and then I’m going to fight you one on one. No more running, no more games… Just you and me and then? Then I’ll be taking the Grand Championship and showing House of Wrestling what a true leader looks like. Because to be quite honest with you? It’s not you and it never will be.

Chris brushed past the camera and the scene cut away.

Match Three Ryan Samuels vs Sabrina Mckay The biggest question here was whether or not Sabrina had truly broken her so called curse after attacking Sierra Rot last week and breaking the medallion she brought around with her. As she walked to the ring she was nothing but smiles, showing that she expected tonight to go much better than it had been. On the other hand, Ryan Samuels had impressed in the open challenge a few weeks back and was now looking to impress while under contract. What we have here is a typical power versus speed matchup, with McKay trying to stay out of Samuels' grasp. Curse or not, she was going to need to keep herself from his hands. She managed for a while, until she went into a tilt-a-whirl octopus hold after wearing him down some. She locked it in, trying to get him to tap but he wasn't budging. He falls to one knee, before powering back up to both legs with Sabrina still on him, before dropping her into a modified somoan drop. It was now Ryan's turn for a little payback as he got to work stomping on Sabrina. Ryan helped her to her feet, chopping her across her chest before giving her a hard powerslam. He hooked her leg but she was able to kick out. Sabrina fought back to her feet, hitting the ropes for a headscissors takedown. But Samuels holds on, using his strength to bring Sabrina back up into a powerbomb position before flattening her with a sitout powerbomb. Sabrina slowly begins to get to her feet, and a light layer of green smoke began to fill the ring. Ryan noticed it but decided to ignore it, striking McKay with the The Midwest Express (Lariat) for the win. On commentary, Ellie mentions that maybe Sabrina didn't break the curse after all... While Bash jokes that maybe she was never cursed in the first place. WINNER Ryan Samuels FINISHING MOVE The Midwest Express (Lariat)

EARLIER IN THE DAY
“Classy” Bianca Page and Darcy Graves are arriving at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

“Classy” Bianca Page:The perverted sycophant who is obsessed with me will finally meet his maker tonight.

Bianca puts her arm on Darcy’s shoulder.

“Classy” Bianca Page:After tonight there will be nothing dashing about Mr. Diaz…if there is anything of him left.

A devilish grin comes over Darcy’s face as she nods her head in agreement.

“Classy” Bianca Page:While Darcy is dealing with my stalker tonight I finally get to deal with that loud mouth who thinks she is a bigger deal then she actually is. Davina King has spent her time here in HOW living a very charmed life. She lucked out when she became the first ever Civil Champion but she has run her mouth so much that she has caught my attention. Which I get because Davina is clearly just trying to raise her stock and what better way to do that then picking a fight with me?

Bianca and Darcy look at each other nodding their heads in agreement.

“Classy” Bianca Page:We know underneath all of Davina’s big talk is her uncomfortable truth that she is clearly threatened by me. We can see the truth behind your eyes and in your actions, Davina. Tonight might be a non title match but it will just be a precursor to being the next Civil Champion.

Bianca and Darcy continue walking.

Match Four Darcy Graves(c) vs Dashing Diaz One of the matches that we had all been waiting for, based off the dynamics going into the match. So naturally, we were also going to get a bit of shenanigans. The bell rang and immediately Diaz tried to offer Darcy a rose, which she declined. He reiterated, saying the rose was for Bianca, which only enraged Darcy. Graves lunged forward with a closeline, but Diaz ducked, hitting the ropes and springboarding off with a missile dropkick. Darcy hits the canvas, but kips up and rushes back towards Diaz. He bends backwards, Matrix style. This causes Graves to overshoot it, and The Dashing One to strike with a cartwheel pele kick that really impresses the crowd. With Darcy on the ground, Diaz takes his time to taunt to the crowd, showing off his abs and probably hoping Bianca was paying attention. He waits too long to capitalize though, and Darcy is on her feet before Diaz is even able to turn around. She grabs him around the waist and connects with a german suplex. But she keeps hold of it, connecting with a combo german suplex and releases on the second one, really showing her strength. Diaz is getting to his feet but eats a kick to his midsection from Graves. Again she shows a massive display of strength by hoisting him up onto her back and locking in a gory special. He yells out, but isn't able to get to the ropes. He is, however, eventually able to spin out of the hold into an armdrag. He connects with the arm drag, sending Darcy across the ring and into the corner. Diaz runs at her, going for a backhandspring elbow but she moves out of the way! Instead his elbow connects with the turnbuckle, followed by Darcy grabbing him and tossing his shoulder first back into the turnbuckle. She puts him back into the turnbuckle again with a hard chop, before using her strength to put him up onto the second rope. From there, she transfer him onto her shoulders, walking into the middle of the ring and letting out a snarl to the camera. She was making sure everyone saw her powerful! That's when things went rather crazy, with FAITHE suddenly sliding into the ring! We saw her lose her chance at the Violent Championship two weeks ago, but it looks like she's not done. Darcy has her hands full with Diaz to fight back, and immediately eats a Holy Temple-Kick (Buzzsaw Kick) from FAITHE and falls to the floor. The referee calls for the bell due to disqualification of course but FAITHE doesn't seem to care one bit. She slides back through the ropes and down to the floor, backing up the ramp with a sly smile. Diaz takes a moment to pause on top of Darcy, with one foot on her as if he was pinning her, despite the match being over. She begins to stir again, which is his que to hightail it. Getting to her feet, Graves is red hot angry! WINNER Darcy Graves FINISHING MOVE Disqualification

Yahamamoto: Faithe! Faithe!

FAITHE walks through the black velvet curtain and into the backstage area, where Yahamamoto is running towards her with a microphone. Hating the paparazzi more than ever, she rolls her eyes and ignores him, though he rushes after her like a good reporter.

Yahamamoto: Wait! Wait! Why do you attack Darcy Graves?

FAITHE: Why? Because she had it comin' that's why.

She chuckles, pushing passed him in the opposite direction. He continues after her.

Yahamamoto: You mad she says you have no more Violent Championship shot?

FAITHE: I don't really care what Darcy says. She doesn't want to give me another shot, then I'm going to keep going. In fact I'm going to be in every one of her matches until she gives me another shot.

She starts to walk away, but comes right back to Yahamamoto's microphone.

FAITHE: You know what, I've got a proposition for Darcy. If she gives me one more shot at the Violent Championship - at HouseWARming - and I lose, then not only will I leave her alone, but I won't even try for another shot as long as she's champion. That's the offer. But if I win, that title is mine!

She walks away and leaves Yahamamoto there with his microphone.

Match Five The Lost (Noah Ortega, Gio Moriello and Anton Palmer) vs Mckena Hardy, Myra Rivers and Jolyne Ferolino The Lost arrive, and they look like a menacing force, with Noah Ortega in the middle. On the other hand, as the other girls make their way to the ring they don't look entirely sure about one another, especially Jolyne and Myra. However, they are all here for a common goal and that's what's important. The bell rings and Jolyne starts it off for the girls against Anton Palmer. Jolyne tries to zip around the ring and for the most part it works, but Anton eventually catches her with a hard forearm that floors her. She rolls through and leaps up into a high knee followed by a crossbody that is able to knock Anton off his feet. She goes to her corner as if she's about to tag someone in, but instead she climbs to the second rope. There's a miscommunication and as Jolyne is extending her hand, Myra tags her hand, effectively tagging herself in. Jolyne gives her a look, to which Myra apologizes and offers to tag her back. Before any more conversation can happen, Anton grabs Myra from behind and plants her with a spinning backdrop. He follows it up with a running senton and a cover but Myra kicks out. Anton tosses her over his shoulder into a powerslam position, rushing forward and about to drop her when she slips off and sends him into the turnbuckle. She capitalizes by reaching up and giving Anton a hard backstabber. She hits the ropes and bounds back into a spinning heel kick just as Anton hits her with a standing big boot, bringing them both to the canvas. Both sides are stomping in their corners as both Myra and Anton crawl to their corner and lunge for the tag. Mckena is tagged in, and Noah comes firing in as well. Mckena wants her hands on Noah, and shows as much with a flying elbow smash. They both kip up and Hardy goes to town with a variety of punches, knocking him into the ropes. Mckena goes for a high kick but Noah rolls out of the way, causing Mckena's leg to get strung up on the ropes. He plants her with a dropkick to the back of the head that sees her fall from the ring. As she's getting up he runs and soars over the top rope to the outside with a plancha onto Hardy. Jolyne leaves her corner, going to fight Noah herself, which in turn brings Gio, followed by both Myra and Anton as the referee begins to count. Just before the ten, Noah slides back into the ring, and the girls are counted out. Nobody seems to care though, as Jolyne and Myra continue battling Gio and Anton on the outside. Mckena jumps to the top rope, jumping onto Noah and hitting him with a high flying thesz press, delivering punch after punch. The bell sounds again as Myra gives Anton a hurricanrana into the steel steps on the outside, and all hell is breaking loose, inviting security quickly down to the ring to break up the six. WINNERS The Lost FINISHING MOVE Count out

The scene switches to a lockeroom. Inside said locker room is one solitary figure, Lady Limitless herself, Alex Andrews. She is sitting on a chair taping up her wrists, getting herself ready for her big upcoming match. As she puts the finishing touches on it, she begins to speak towards the camera.

Alex Andrews : Outside of Foundations 1, this might be the biggest match of my career. I mean, after running through two women and coming within that hair's breath of becoming that first ever Grand Champion, this is definitely up there, right? And it's not going to be easy, I know this.

Alex lets out a bit of a sarcastic controlled laugh.

Alex Andrews : Heh, that's putting it lightly, right? I mean, three men stand in my way of getting my hands on the ever shrewd Mikey Svarro. That's all. Just a massive tattooed man whom is just a wrecking ball of a man, a top notch highflier and the very reason I don't have that Grand Championship around my waist. Yeah, no pressure.

Alex dusts her hands off.

Alex Andrews : I know I might be the most popular person coming into this number one contendership match, but And while popularity can take you far in this business, nothing can replace one's skill and grit. And I truly believe that's where i shine. Sure, I'm just a awkward girl from Tennesee when it comes to the men I'm stepping in the ring with, but I'm also likely the fastest and haven't you heard? Speed kills...

Alex gives a small wink at the camera as she stands up and starts wiggling her arms and bounces in her ties, trying to warm up.

Alex Andrews : I hear no ill will to any of my opponents, truly. Well, except Rumble Reyes. But as for Holden and Chris are concerned, I empathize with them. They both have gotten screwed due to Mikey's tactics. They both can make a claim for holding that title belt just as much as I could. Except I've been here since day one. Day. One. Can they say that? No, they had to answer open challenges before they signed with the company. I, however, wanted to help build this company from the ground up, to be that first champion and create a legacy for myself and this company that one could be proud of. That's why I'm in this match, because I have earned it. Going out and showing why I'm one of the very best this company has to offer each and every time. Five matches in three shows. Four wins, and only one loss.

She shakes her head.

Alex Andrews : And that loss has everything to do with Mikey's hand chosen pick in this match, Rumble Reyes. I get it, you're in his pocket and all, but I take the largest exception to putting your hands on me and cost me that Grand Championship. And now, I'm taking your knees. Big guy, all slow and lumbering, yeah, those knees are your weakness and I'm going to show you and Mikey why messing with me wasn't in your best interests.

Alex smiles as she rolls her wrists.

Alex Andrews : I might be the smallest dog in this fight, but trust me, I've fought bigger men, stood toe to toe with them and didn't flinch, I don't plan on doing so now. I know Chris and Holden want this too, for very valid reasons, but there isn't a soul out there that is going to stop me from what I want. Big and mean, smaller and fast, it doesn't matter, I'm Limitless, if you haven't heard by now. So come HouseWARming, it'll be me standing across Mikey. Because after I take my pound of flesh from Rumble, I'm coming directly for you, Mikey.

Alex chuckles to herself as she heads out the locker room door and out into the hallway.

Match Six Bianca Page vs Davina King(c) This match had a lot of anticipation behind it due to their back and forths on twitter and the implication of this match on the Civil division. Diaz already tried to take Davina's title, and we know Bianca is ready and willing for gold. The two eyed each other from across the ring before launching into a back and forth volley of technique. Davina was obviously feeling the attack from earlier though. Davina, being a bit more powerful, was able to begin inching out in from of Bianca by striking a bicycle kick across her face. As Page is falling, King took her by the chest and waist, lifting her up into a gorilla press slam that she lets fall back down to the canvas. She helps Bianca to her feet, looking for what looks to be a gutwrench powerbomb but Page throws herself out of the gutwrench, and takes Davina down with a russian legsweep. Bianca rolls through in order to immediately put herself on her feet, before jumping into a dropkick to Davina's back. She gets King up by her neck, before slowly turning Davina into a neckbreaker position. It's slow because Davina is fighting back. Davina suddenly changes tactics and spins through...but Bianca keeps them spinning, coming back around to the neckbreaker position before Bianca drops into a hangman. Bianca first grabs her from behind into a camel clutch type of move, but it's obvious she doesn't plan on winning with the submission, simply putting more wear into the Civil Champion. She gives Davina a few elbows before lifting her into a reverse suplex. But Davina reverses it! She falls backwards and onto her feet, landing directly behind Bianca. She clubs Page in the back of the head, before giving her two double knees to Bianca's forehead. Page drops to one knee, battling back up, but she's lifted up and spun into a hard spinebuster that sees her head bound off the canvas. Davina goes for a cover but only gets a two count before Bianca is able to power out. King helps Bianca up to her feet, giving her a few right hands for good measure, before taking her over to the corner. Again, she gives her some hard punches, then lays her on the top rope. Davina climbs to the second rope, clutching Bianca into a fall away slam. She's going for a huge move, as she lugs Bianca up and over her head! But it doesn't connect! Bianca Page is able to flip around in the air, and come down with her weight across Davina as they are falling! Bianca covers her with a crossbody but gets a long two! Bianca is starting to lose her cool, whipping Davina across the ring and missing with a boot on the rebound. Davina grabs her into a chickenwing position and the crowd cheers as Davina looks to leave Bianca SHOOK! (Sitout Glam Slam) But before she can lift up, Dashing Diaz is on the apron, holding out a single rose to Bianca who obviously has her hands tied. It's also meant as a distraction, as Davina waits to execute the move. Confused, she spins Bianca around, before lifting her up... but Bianca has had a few moments to think over her next move, and as she's being lifted up, she curls her body under, flipping Davina into an inside cradle. The referee drops and counts a three! Bianca slides from the ring, a smile on her face as she points to the champion while motioning for the belt around her waist. Diaz is making his way through the crowd, rather pleased with himself, leaving Davina in the middle of the ring. She's got a fire inside her, there's no telling where this leads. WINNER Bianca Page FINISHING MOVE Inside Cradle

The tron turns on, showing the House of Wrestling Grand Championship in full view of the camera. We slowly pan out and see none other than the Grand Champion himself, Mikey Svarro, standing next to Rumble Reyes. He's entered Rumble into yet another match, and no doubt is hoping he'll pull out an upset win against three others ON the roster.

Mikey Svarro: I was gone from the wrestling world, living my best life on some beach somewhere.

It's almost as if he isn't speaking to anyone directly, but Reyes is listening intently.

Mikey Svarro: But I saw this young upstart here, House of Wrestling, and I knew they needed someone to come and save them. I knew they needed someone to come in and lead them into the promised land. Who is going to pay attention to your product with Bianca Page as your Grand Champion? How many fans are you going to be losing if you had someone like Alex Andrews as the HoW Grand Champion.

Mikey shook his head at the mere thought, despite the HoW crowd listening and cheering at the idea!

Mikey Svarro: Yeah, I know, so many people would tune out. That's why it needed to be someone with charisma, it needed to be someone with skill, it needed to be me! Let's be honest about it though, was I wrong? Tell me right now, was I wrong when I thought these things because quite frankly I've been absolutely killing it!

He adjusts the Grand Championship sitting atop his shoulder.

Mikey Svarro: I come into House of Wrestling fresh off RETIREMENT and I win the Grand Championship. Then I have an open challenge and successfully defend my new championship against three other people. Following that I end up defending AGAIN, and of course main eventing each time. I've held this house on my shoulders since signing my contract and damnit do I deserve a night off. That's why I'm not doing any heavy lifting tonight, Rumble.

He taps Reyes on the shoulder.

Mikey Svarro: It's gotta all be you, hear me? I'm going to sit at ringside with the hot bitch, Aaron Asphyxia, at ringside and we're going to have a fun time watching YOU win. Got it? I don't wanna hear any excuses, Rumble. YOU need to win.

He holds the Grand Championship higher for the camera to see better.

Mikey Svarro: And as we go into HouseWARming I know without a doubt, that I'm still going to be your HoW Grand Champion!

Fade.

Main Event GRAND CHAMPIONSHIP NUMBER ONE CONTENDER Alex Andrews vs Holden Ross vs Rumble Reyes vs Chris Night This was a rather large match with a lot of different moving parts. Alex and Chris are fighting each other, Chris getting the better of the exchange at first. Our Grand Champion, Mikey Svarro, joined the commentating team, and he wasn't alone. Of course Rumble was with him, but he was also joined by Aaron Asphyxia. Inside the ring, the four began to brawl with one another, Ross giving Reyes a lariat over the ropes and taking their fight to the outside while Night and Andrews remained inside. Chris had an early upperhand, focusing on beating Andrews with his speed. The first attempted fall came from a sunset flip from Night onto Andrews. Although Alex was slipping behind Chris, she refused to give up and continued fighting. On the outside, Holden has really been taking it to Rumble, much to Mikey's dismay. Svarro even gets up at one point and yells to Holden in order to give Rumble time to recuperate. Reyes grabs Holden and goes to toss him into the barricade, but it's reversed! Instead, Holden sends Reyes into the barricade. He starts leveling Reyes with right hands in the seated position. That's when he accidently knocks a cup out of a fans hand that is sitting a little too close in the front row. Holden looks up... and it's none other than Ryan Samuels. Holden suddenly stops his attack on Rumble, going nose to nose with Samuels who gets up out of his chair. The two come to blows, battling through the crowd and leaving Reyes on his own. Rumble steps towards the ring and is hit by a flying suicide dive from Chris Night! But he catches it! He spins Chris around and collides to the outside with a Tour of the Islands (spinning powerslam) right onto the concrete floor. He picks Night up, looking to give him a MAG9 Powerbomb (Bad Luck Fall) onto the steel steps...but Rumble's kicked in the side of the head from a baseball slide from Alex Andrews! Reyes drops Chris on the floor, and looks to Alex, sliding inside the ring. Back on the outside of the ring, Ryan Samuels and Holden Ross have battled all the way through the crowd and have just now disappeared into the backstage area. Aaron Asphyxia suddenly stands up at ringside, grabbing hold of Mikey's belt and playfully placing it on her shoulder. She moves along one side of the ring, teasing Svarro and keeping the belt from him as he lightly walked after her. Back inside the ring, Alex chops Rumble down with leg kicks, before chopping him down with the Brain Death (Scorpion Kick)! Alex is quick to turn him over and hook his leg. The referee comes down for the three count just as Chris Night is sliding back into the ring. He's unable to break the pin. WINNER Alex Andrews FINISHING MOVE Brain Death (Scorpion Kick)

The bell sounds, and Svarro spins around just in time to see Alex make it to her feet and have her hand raised in triumph over Reyes. Mikey's facial expression quickly becomes irate, especially as his eyes move over to Asphyxia. Aaron is nothing but smiles, knowing she kept Mikey from being able to cheat. She blows him a kiss and waves, backing up the ramp.

Svarro's eyes dart from Aaron to Alex, pointing at Aaron first. He seems to mouth "YOU!" to her.

However as his eyes return to Andrews, she's mouthing "ME!" to him and pointing to herself. The cheers for new number one contender, Alex Andrews, engulf the MGM Grand Garden Arena as we go off the air.
