Time: 2:26
The Necron Cometh.
Volatile action begins as all three rush at one another. Necron’s hand darts out and grabs Fear’s neck, but Mizore hits a Pele kick to the back of the Harvester’s head. Arm drag from Deimos brings Necron to the mat, but Necron rolls through, yanking his arm free. He spies Mizore sprinting toward him again, and unleashes a mighty backhand slap that knocks her bodily across the ring and through the ropes, where she gets tangled up. Baseball slide from Deimos drops Necron on top of him, and Deimos attempts to lock in a Kimura on the big guy.
Mizore manages to free herself, and leaps onto the top rope, dropping double knees into the struggling men, breaking them up. She pulls halfway to his feet, then hits him with a shining wizard! Mizore gets the first pin attempt of the match, but Necron grabs her by the hair and drags her up off of Fear and into the air.
Necron’s got Mizore’s feet dangling as she struggles to free her hair from his iron grip. He grins a disturbing leer into her face before rearing back and headbutting the side of her head. Her kicking becomes a little less energetic, and he’s about to go for it again when Deimos explodes up from the floor with a spear to Necron!
Necron drops Mizore as he’s driven to his back with the force of that spear. Deimos runs over to where Mizore is trying to get up and nails The Numbing!
He goes for the pin, but notices, just before the ref reaches 2, that Necron is already back on his feet, shaking out the cobwebs. Making a hard decision, Deimos relinquishes the pin and rushes at Necron. He wraps him up for a massive German suplex, then leaps onto the top turnbuckle. He’s going for a Meteor Press!!
It’s hard to catch without the instant playback and viewed from multiple angles afterward, but at some point during Deimos’ flight, Necron managed to get his arms up and wrap them around Fear as he landed, almost like Deimos dove into a bear trap. Necron sits up, then climbs to his feet. As Fear tries to wriggle free, Necron hits Judgment Day and covers for the 3!
Winner: Necron
Time: 9:42
Jet is here to throw gauntlets and chew bubble gum, and he is all out of gum.
Members of both teams make their separate entrances, all four entertainment professionals viewing this match as something special. You could really tell in Vain’s case… he left the two beauties at the club, apparently.
Both Kem and Maggie make the argument that they should be the ones to start the match for their respective teams, and both look genuinely surprised when their partners agree with no argument, and step out onto the apron. Kem grounds Maggie in the early going, working on the left leg of Lockheart with numerous elbow and knee drops in an attempt to tighten up the hamstring of the reigning Cross-Hemisphere Champion. Maggie fights back to her feet and connects with forearm shivers that stagger Dynamo, but an Irish whip attempt is reversed, and Maggie finds herself back on the mat after a spinning heel kick connects and gets a one-count.
Kem staying on the attack applying a headlock, leaning into the move in an attempt to cut off Maggie’s oxygen. Maggie slowly works her way back to her feet, throwing her head back and cracking against the nose of Dynamo. Kem releases the headlock and doesn’t see the pele kick coming. Kem staggers backwards, but fortunately it’s into her own corner. Vain looks to be thinking of making the tag, but Kem ignores his outstretched hand, running towards Maggie and connecting with a hip attack that sends Lockheart back to the mat. Kem applies a dragon sleeper to Maggie in the center of the ring. Vain looks impressed, however Zane does not, and he comes into the ring and clubs Kem in the back of the head, breaking the hold. Zane looks over towards Vain, who half-shrugs as he places his left foot on the middle rope and leans against the corner turnbuckle.
With Zane back on the ring apron, Maggie gets back to her feet, as Kem shakes her head from the effects of the blow from Zane. Step-up enziguri drops Kem to her knees, and then Maggie bounds off the ropes and hits a leaping forearm. She makes the cover, but only gets a two-count as Kem kicks out. Maggie pulling Kem to her feet, but a palm thrust connects near the throat of Lockheart, leaving her stumbling backwards. Zane slaps Maggie on the back, tagging himself in, and Vain does the same when Kem gets too close to her corner.
New territory for Scott and Wallace, as the two have gotten used to teaming together. Tonight though, they find themselves on opposite sides of the ring, and both surely want to perform well considering the huge match coming up at Day of Reckoning. Lockup of the former Syndicate members, with Zane shoving Wallace back. A smile from Alan as he cracks his next, and the two lockup again with the same results. Wallace moves back in, but is sent to the mat with a hip toss. Quickly bouncing off the mat, Wallace moves in again, and this time is sent to the mat with a deep arm drag. Wallace up to a knee, eyeballing Zane, who simply shrugs at him. With a nod of the head, Wallace gets to his feet, and the two men lock up again. This time Vain sends Zane to the mat with an arm drag, and then when they lock up again, Vain moves in behind of Zane and applies a hammerlock. Zane looking for a way out, but Vain shoves him forward. Another lockup, but Vain performs a small package that gets a one-count. Both men back to their feet, Zane quickly moving in behind of Wallace and executing a schoolboy that gets a count of two. Both men to their feet, moving nose-to-nose and staring at one another.
Zane motioning for Wallace to hit the ropes, which Alan does, and he hits the mat hard when the shoulder block has the opposite effect that he intended. Same result on the second attempt, further embarrassing ‘The Vain One’, and causing him to shove Zane in the chest. Zane returns the favor, and before you know it, both men are standing in the center of the ring exchanging right hands. Zane ultimately gets the better of ‘Mr. Ego’, forcing him back into a neutral corner. Numerous knee lifts find their mark, and then Zane connects with a few back elbows. Zane whips Vain to the adjacent corner, following closely behind and connecting with a running clothesline that almost knocks Vain’s boots off. A cover from Zane gets a two-count, before it is broken up by Dynamo.
Zane drags Wallace back to his feet and tosses him halfway across the ring with a judo throw, Vain winding up slumped in the corner. Zane barrels across the ring and connects with a running dropkick, quickly making the cover. Only gets a two-count though, as Vain managed to drape his near leg over the bottom rope. Zane drags Vain back to his feet and lifts him up, going for The Splatter Effect. Vain reverses the move though, throwing all of his weight backwards, while hooking his legs around the arounds of Zane Scott, and slamming him into the mat with a canadian destroyer. Both men lay on the mat now, the official performing the mandatory ten-count.
Both men finally get back to their feet at the count of eight, and begin hammering each other with right hands. First Zane has the advantage, and then Vain, and then both men rear back and put everything into their shot, and both men connect. Both men then find themselves stumbling backwards, trying not to lose their balance. Both men close to their respective corners though, and Maggie and Kem both tag back in to the match.
Knee to the stomach from Maggie doubles Kem over, and then Lockheart sends her to the mat when she connects with a bicycle kick. Maggie quickly up and measuring Kem as she gets up to her hands and knees, and she hits the Lacrimosa. Count is broken up at two-and-a-half by Vain, who connects with a double axehandle to the back of Maggie’s head. This brings Zane in, but Vain quickly moves back out to the ring apron, smiling at Zane as he does so. Maggie pulling Kem back to her feet, but Dynamo instinctively begins throwing hands. European Uppercut stomps the comeback from Kem in its tracks, and she grabs Kem’s arm to whip her towards the ropes. Kem reverses, sending Maggie towards the ropes instead. Vain sees the C-H Champ coming towards him, grabbing the top rope and dropping to the apron, causing Maggie to sail over the top rope and out to the floor. She hits the ground hard, as Vain hops down as well. Wallace drags Lockheart to her feet and flings her into the steel steps. Pulling her back to her feet, he shoves her shoulder-first into the steel ring post. Lockheart grabbing at the already-injured shoulder in pain, as Vain roughly jerks her to her feet and shoves her back into the ring.
Kem out to the apron now, springboarding off the top rope and connecting with a somersault leg drop that finds its mark across the throat of Lockheart. She quickly drags Maggie back to her feet and hits the Cradle Hammerlock DDT. Cover is made, but Zane is there to break it up. Vain watches from the ring apron as Zane pulls Kem to her feet and shoves her towards the ropes. One Murderous Intent later, and both Maggie and Kem are in La-La-Land, as Zane Scott stares across at Vain. Wallace simply smiles at him and proceeds to give him a golf clap, yelling out to him that he did a great job. Official admonishing that Zane needs to exit the ring, though the ‘Personification of Pain’ hesitates in doing so, as Vain tells him that he should really listen to the official, because breaking the rules isn’t what role models do.
Zane finally out on the apron, with Vain down at the announcers table talking to Covert Jay. Obviously to do with ‘The Vain Fan Club’, no doubt. Both Maggie and Kem are slowly dragging themselves towards their corners, with Maggie tagging out to Zane. Kem trying to tag out to Vain, but he is late getting back up onto the apron. Zane whips Kem across the ring and executes a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, as Vain begins trying to pump up Kem by stomping the mat. Zane looking over at him and motioning for him to get in the ring, but Vain declines. Sounded like he said a two-on-one attack wouldn’t be fair to Zane, and as his friend, he couldn’t do that to him. Zane not having it though… he drags Kem to her feet and shoves her into her own corner, telling Vain to make the tag. Vain declines once more, offering moral support to Kem by telling her he has faith in her.
Zane trying to get to Vain now, with the official moving in between them. Out of site of the official, Vain pokes Zane in the eyes, Scott taking a few steps backwards and rubbing at his eye. Official looks over to see Vain lightly slap Kem on her back, making him the legal man in the match. Zane hears the official call that the tag was made, though he is still attempting to regain his vision. Vain shoves his own partner forward towards Zane, who instinctively connects with a knee, lifts her up, and connects with The Splatter Effect. Getting back to his feet, and still blinking incessantly, Zane looks down and sees Kem at his feet. Turning around to find Wallace, he never saw The Curtain Call coming, and the three-count is registered before Maggie can get over to break up the pin.
Winners: Alan Wallace and Kem Dynamo
Time: 12:18
Backstage, Caleb is minding his own business.
Baal starting the match out aggressively, locking Raab into a headlock and driving open-handed strikes into his face. He powers him down to the mat, but then starts kicking at his midsection over and over. Baal eventually sits direction on Raab’s chest, slapping his face over and over with both hands.
Commentators surmise that he’s taking advantage of Raab’s sportsmanship, trying to anger him and bait him into a mistake.
Raab manages to get his feet up and locks Baal into a figure-four headlock to escape. The Iceman goes on the offensive now, whipping Gabriel to the ropes and catching him in an hammerlock takedown on the return.
Gabriel rolls away, but Konrad is on him in an instant driving knees into him in the corner. Baal has to hit a desperation ace crusher to escape!
Raab is stunned, and Baal has an opening to spring to his feet, driving the top of his head into Raab’s chin. As Konrad tries to shake it off, Gabriel grabs his head and slams it off the turnbuckle. He goes for a second slam, but Raab manages to get his hands out to block it. He throws a wild elbow back that connects with Baal’s eye, causing him to back off while clutching at his face.
Konrad springs into action with a second wind, driving Baal across the ring with repeated forearm strikes. He forces him into the opposite corner, then starts hitting The Serpent with shoulder blocks. He wraps Baal up and goes for the Frozen Pin, but Baal kicks free!
They both roll up to their feet and rush at each other, but Baal spins around the running knee from Raab. He leaps onto the nearby second rope and hits a Freudian Slip! Raab is flattened, and Baal manages the three count!
Winner: Gabriel Baal
Time: 9:27
Backstage, Kenzi gets momaged.
Pierce takes a moment to point out to both women that he is the new Chaos Champion, prompting Bordy to immediately heave herself at him, unleashing a flurry of vicious attacks that Pierce deflects as best he can before taking a powder to the outside in self-preservation. Bordy stares at him over the ropes and appears about to vault them before Vaughn snatches her into a rear naked choke, pulling her back onto the mat and gravevines her to hold her in place. Bordy has nowhere to go, but Pierce quickly scales the turnbuckle and leaps into the air. Vaughn sees him and releases her hold, rolling away as Pierce connects with The Piercing Blow on Bordy, only for Vaughn to pull him into a schoolgirl pin that gets a two count.
Vaughn gets Pierce into a side headlock, but he gets back to his feet and pushes her away, she comes off the ropes and runs right into a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Pierce swiftly takes control, taking a moment to nudge Bordy out of the ring before pulling Vaughn into a snap suplex. He pulls her back up again and this time into a dragon suplex, pinning with a bridge, but Vaughn kicks out at two.
Pierce pulls Vaughn up again, but Bordy is up on the apron and springboards into the ring, flinging her body at them, and Pierce moves out of the way and Bordy tackles Vaughn to the mat. Pierce lifts Bordy into a fireman’s carry position for Signing Off, but she floats off, grabbing his hair in the process and yanking him into an X-Factor. Bordy screams before pulling Pierce back up by his head, grabbing him in a bear hug and beginning a series of headbutts that the crowd gets really into, but it ends as Vaughn delivers a roundhouse kick that knocks them both down. Both roll to their knees, and Vaughn begins alternately kicking both of them in the chest, the crowd chanting “OBVS” along with each strike, until ultimately Vaughn winds up for a big final kick to Bordy, only for Pierce to spring up off the mat, grabbing her from behind and planting her with the Breakdown! Pierce lays on the ground for a moment before pushing Vaughn over onto her back and hooking the leg, but Bordy dives and breaks it up just before the three.
Bordy kicks Pierce over onto his back and jumps on him twice before grabbing him by the head and yanking him up off the mat. She takes a deep breath in anticipation of L’etreinte de Dieu, but Pierce spins and surprises her with The Truth Hurts! Pierce starts to go for the cover, but Vaughn comes flying in with #Vaughnemous, and the impact knocks Pierce out through the ropes as Vaughn covers Bordy for the three!
Winner: Angelica Vaughn
Time: 8:49
The challengers enter first as Team Kickass enters to a deafening cheer. They stride down to the ring after their signature fist bump and enter the ring together. Sarah calls for a mic and then returns to center ring. She opens her mouth to begin her usual pre-match opponent rundown when she’s interrupted by the music for “The Court” starting. Seconds later the Co-Operative Champions walk out onto the stage. They raise the Co-Operative Championships overhead before they walk slowly down to the ring while being showered with boos.
They enter the ring and walk up to Team Kickass, who haven’t budged from center ring. They hold the Championships up in their faces and smile as their opponents stand focused on their targets. After a few moments, Sam Green tells the two teams to go to their corners, then gets the championships from The Court. He holds them up for everyone to see and then hands them off at ringside.
Sarah and Jet start the match. They meet in center ring and exchange in a bit of trash talk before Green rings the bell and they engage in a collar and elbow tie up. Their mutual shoving match is brief before Jet gains the upper hand. He immediately drives a succession of knee strikes into her stomach and sides, then knocks her back with an uppercut. She bounces off of the ropes, only to be knocked to the mat with a dropkick. Jet grabs her around the neck and drags her over to his corner. He tags Eden, then wraps an arm around Sarah’s neck, takes a step out, turns around and suplexes her back first into the corner. The two immediately begin to lay the boots to her and stomp her viciously. Sam warns Jet to get out of the ring but he’s ignored. He begins the count and Jet finally steps out when he reaches four.
Eden goes to work on Sarah, driving a succession of high knees into her head before she darts out of the corner, knocks Kenzi off of the apron, then dashes back to the corner and drives her knees into Sarah’s face with another vicious knee strike. She tags Jet and the leaps over the rope and into the ring. The two pull Sarah out of the corner and hit her with “Silent Flight”. Jet goes for the pin and Sam drops to the mat as Eden exits the ring. Sam gets to a two count before Kenzi breaks it up. She yanks Jet off of Sarah and lays him out with the “Breakout Performance” before Sam finally pushes her from the ring.
Sam re-enters and begins a standing ten count. As he gets to four, Sarah begins to move. When he reaches seven, Jet rolls over and pushes himself up onto his elbow. Both athletes shake their heads and look to their corners. Jet begins to crawl to his while Sarah shakes her head again and crawls over to the ropes. She begins to pull herself up with the ropes as Jet inches towards his corner.
Jet reaches first and tags Eden in. She leaps over the rope, charges across the ring and takes Sarah down with a chop blocks before she kips up and knocks Kenzi off of the apron again with a vicious punch to the face. She proceeds to work Sarah over, focusing on her legs. She backs up a few steps and waits for Sarah to begin to move. It take a few moments but Sarah finally does so. She finally gets to her feet and turns around...right into “The Hard Way”. She drops onto Sarah but only gets a two before Sarah kicks out.
Eden pulls her up and throws her into The Court’s corner, then tags Jet. Jet enters and bends over to pull Sarah up, but she grabs him and quickly rolls him up. Sam drops to the mat for the count and gets to two before Jet kicks out. He pops back to his feet and spins around right into a palm strike to the jaw that staggers him. She grabs Jet, flips him over with a judo throw and locks in a cross armbreaker. Jet struggles against it and finally manages to get his left foot onto the bottom rope. Sam tells Sarah to break it, but she makes him count to four and a half before she releases it.
Sarah gets to her feet and stomps Jet on the shoulder before she pulls him over to her corner and tags Kenzi. Kenzi enters and the two wrap their arms around Jet’s head and plant him with a double leaping DDT. They pull Jet up and Irish whip him into the far neutral corner, then each one takes turns splashing him in the corner. Jet staggers out and right into a legsweep from Sarah and a superkick from Kenzi that sends him to the mat. Sam orders Sarah to get out of the ring. She does so, but not before she gets in one more kick to the ribs for good measure.
As soon as she steps from the ring, Kenzi turns and tags her and she re-enters. The two proceed to work Jet over and hit him with a tandem neckbreaker, double shotgun dropkicks to his head and a double stalling suplex. Once he down, Sarah pulls him up into a wheelbarrow and Kenzi hits an ace crusher on him, completing the “Box Office Smash”. Sarah immediately gets up, pulls Jet up and whips him into the ropes. He bounces off and is flattened with the “Star Maker”. Sarah drops for the pin as Kenzi steps out.
Sam drop to the mat and gets to two and eight-tenths before Eden breaks it up. She yanks Sarah off of Jet, spins and throws her into Kenzi, which knocks her out of the ropes and to the floor. Sarah staggers back out to center ring. Eden runs at her but is brought up short by a sudden single-leg facebreaker from Sarah. She turns towards her corner to look for Kenzi as Eden staggers back towards hers, where Jet is reaching out for the tag.
Jet reaches first and tags Eden. She enters and intercepts Sarah, then flattens her with a wheelbarrow suplex. She tags Jet back in and the two of them whip Sarah off of the ropes. They throw her up and let her crash to the mat. Unfortunately for them, she lands near her corner. Kenzi leans over and tags herself in, then leaps over and springboards up onto the top rope. She flies into the ring and connects with a double clothesline that flattens Eden and sends Jet from the ring to the outside.
Kenzi pulls Eden up and whips her into the corner, then follows up with a splash. Eden slams into the corner and slumps down as Kenzi backs out. She’s momentarily distracted as she notices Sarah and Jet struggling on the outside. She hesitates as her instinct to help her wife battles with her professional desire to win the match. She drops to a knee as if she's going to slide out, but turns back towards Eden and then freezes.
Eden has that damned serpent head! Jet still has his hands full with Sarah as Eden advances on Kenzi. Kenzi still down, it looks like Eden’s going for the RBF, but Kenzi suddenly leaps up and spins Eden around, hitting a Breakout Performance! On the outside, Sarah hits Jet with The Abyss!
Eden loses her grip on the serpent-head, but as Sarah slides into the ring, the Red Queen scoops it up. Kenzi lifts Eden back up, then signals to Sarah before running to the ropes. They both run at Eden, and pull off a perfect Falcon Punch! Just for good measure, Sarah attacks with the serpent-head before Kenzi notices. Eden crumples, and Kenzi goes in for the pin, securing the win and the Cooperative Championships!!
As Team Kickass celebrates, a recovering Jet leans in to drag Eden out of the ring. As he pulls her under the bottom rope, he notices the serpent-head. Grabbing it up, he looks at it for a moment before slamming it down on the ring apron in frustration.
Jet scoops Eden up in his arms, and angrily stomps up the ramp, leaving the new UGWC Cooperative Champions to close out the show with their celebration.
Winners: Team Kickass

The Necron Cometh.
~Commercial Break~
Mizore Payne vs Necron vs Phrixus Deimos
Volatile action begins as all three rush at one another. Necron’s hand darts out and grabs Fear’s neck, but Mizore hits a Pele kick to the back of the Harvester’s head. Arm drag from Deimos brings Necron to the mat, but Necron rolls through, yanking his arm free. He spies Mizore sprinting toward him again, and unleashes a mighty backhand slap that knocks her bodily across the ring and through the ropes, where she gets tangled up. Baseball slide from Deimos drops Necron on top of him, and Deimos attempts to lock in a Kimura on the big guy.
Mizore manages to free herself, and leaps onto the top rope, dropping double knees into the struggling men, breaking them up. She pulls halfway to his feet, then hits him with a shining wizard!

Necron drops Mizore as he’s driven to his back with the force of that spear. Deimos runs over to where Mizore is trying to get up and nails The Numbing!
He goes for the pin, but notices, just before the ref reaches 2, that Necron is already back on his feet, shaking out the cobwebs. Making a hard decision, Deimos relinquishes the pin and rushes at Necron. He wraps him up for a massive German suplex, then leaps onto the top turnbuckle. He’s going for a Meteor Press!!
It’s hard to catch without the instant playback and viewed from multiple angles afterward, but at some point during Deimos’ flight, Necron managed to get his arms up and wrap them around Fear as he landed, almost like Deimos dove into a bear trap. Necron sits up, then climbs to his feet. As Fear tries to wriggle free, Necron hits Judgment Day and covers for the 3!

Kem out to the apron now, springboarding off the top rope and connecting with a somersault leg drop that finds its mark across the throat of Lockheart. She quickly drags Maggie back to her feet and hits the Cradle Hammerlock DDT. Cover is made, but Zane is there to break it up. Vain watches from the ring apron as Zane pulls Kem to her feet and shoves her towards the ropes. One Murderous Intent later, and both Maggie and Kem are in La-La-Land, as Zane Scott stares across at Vain. Wallace simply smiles at him and proceeds to give him a golf clap, yelling out to him that he did a great job. Official admonishing that Zane needs to exit the ring, though the ‘Personification of Pain’ hesitates in doing so, as Vain tells him that he should really listen to the official, because breaking the rules isn’t what role models do.
Zane finally out on the apron, with Vain down at the announcers table talking to Covert Jay. Obviously to do with ‘The Vain Fan Club’, no doubt. Both Maggie and Kem are slowly dragging themselves towards their corners, with Maggie tagging out to Zane. Kem trying to tag out to Vain, but he is late getting back up onto the apron. Zane whips Kem across the ring and executes a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, as Vain begins trying to pump up Kem by stomping the mat. Zane looking over at him and motioning for him to get in the ring, but Vain declines. Sounded like he said a two-on-one attack wouldn’t be fair to Zane, and as his friend, he couldn’t do that to him. Zane not having it though… he drags Kem to her feet and shoves her into her own corner, telling Vain to make the tag. Vain declines once more, offering moral support to Kem by telling her he has faith in her.
Zane trying to get to Vain now, with the official moving in between them. Out of site of the official, Vain pokes Zane in the eyes, Scott taking a few steps backwards and rubbing at his eye. Official looks over to see Vain lightly slap Kem on her back, making him the legal man in the match. Zane hears the official call that the tag was made, though he is still attempting to regain his vision. Vain shoves his own partner forward towards Zane, who instinctively connects with a knee, lifts her up, and connects with The Splatter Effect. Getting back to his feet, and still blinking incessantly, Zane looks down and sees Kem at his feet. Turning around to find Wallace, he never saw The Curtain Call coming, and the three-count is registered before Maggie can get over to break up the pin.
Winners: Alan Wallace and Kem Dynamo

He powers him down to the mat, but then starts kicking at his midsection over and over. Baal eventually sits direction on Raab’s chest, slapping his face over and over with both hands.
Commentators surmise that he’s taking advantage of Raab’s sportsmanship, trying to anger him and bait him into a mistake.

He goes for a second slam, but Raab manages to get his hands out to block it. He throws a wild elbow back that connects with Baal’s eye, causing him to back off while clutching at his face.
Konrad springs into action with a second wind, driving Baal across the ring with repeated forearm strikes. He forces him into the opposite corner, then starts hitting The Serpent with shoulder blocks. He wraps Baal up and goes for the Frozen Pin, but Baal kicks free!

Backstage, Kenzi gets momaged.
Angelica Vaughn vs Le Bord de Dieu vs Travis Pierce
Pierce takes a moment to point out to both women that he is the new Chaos Champion, prompting Bordy to immediately heave herself at him, unleashing a flurry of vicious attacks that Pierce deflects as best he can before taking a powder to the outside in self-preservation. Bordy stares at him over the ropes and appears about to vault them before Vaughn snatches her into a rear naked choke, pulling her back onto the mat and gravevines her to hold her in place. Bordy has nowhere to go, but Pierce quickly scales the turnbuckle and leaps into the air. Vaughn sees him and releases her hold, rolling away as Pierce connects with The Piercing Blow on Bordy, only for Vaughn to pull him into a schoolgirl pin that gets a two count.
Vaughn gets Pierce into a side headlock, but he gets back to his feet and pushes her away, she comes off the ropes and runs right into a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Pierce swiftly takes control, taking a moment to nudge Bordy out of the ring before pulling Vaughn into a snap suplex. He pulls her back up again and this time into a dragon suplex, pinning with a bridge, but Vaughn kicks out at two.
Pierce pulls Vaughn up again, but Bordy is up on the apron and springboards into the ring, flinging her body at them, and Pierce moves out of the way and Bordy tackles Vaughn to the mat. Pierce lifts Bordy into a fireman’s carry position for Signing Off, but she floats off, grabbing his hair in the process and yanking him into an X-Factor. Bordy screams before pulling Pierce back up by his head, grabbing him in a bear hug and beginning a series of headbutts that the crowd gets really into, but it ends as Vaughn delivers a roundhouse kick that knocks them both down. Both roll to their knees, and Vaughn begins alternately kicking both of them in the chest, the crowd chanting “OBVS” along with each strike, until ultimately Vaughn winds up for a big final kick to Bordy, only for Pierce to spring up off the mat, grabbing her from behind and planting her with the Breakdown! Pierce lays on the ground for a moment before pushing Vaughn over onto her back and hooking the leg, but Bordy dives and breaks it up just before the three.
Bordy kicks Pierce over onto his back and jumps on him twice before grabbing him by the head and yanking him up off the mat. She takes a deep breath in anticipation of L’etreinte de Dieu, but Pierce spins and surprises her with The Truth Hurts! Pierce starts to go for the cover, but Vaughn comes flying in with #Vaughnemous, and the impact knocks Pierce out through the ropes as Vaughn covers Bordy for the three!

Cooperative Championship
Eden Morgan and Jet Somers vs Kenzi and Sarah Grey-Lacklan
Eden Morgan and Jet Somers vs Kenzi and Sarah Grey-Lacklan
The challengers enter first as Team Kickass enters to a deafening cheer. They stride down to the ring after their signature fist bump and enter the ring together. Sarah calls for a mic and then returns to center ring. She opens her mouth to begin her usual pre-match opponent rundown when she’s interrupted by the music for “The Court” starting. Seconds later the Co-Operative Champions walk out onto the stage. They raise the Co-Operative Championships overhead before they walk slowly down to the ring while being showered with boos.
They enter the ring and walk up to Team Kickass, who haven’t budged from center ring. They hold the Championships up in their faces and smile as their opponents stand focused on their targets. After a few moments, Sam Green tells the two teams to go to their corners, then gets the championships from The Court. He holds them up for everyone to see and then hands them off at ringside.
Sarah and Jet start the match. They meet in center ring and exchange in a bit of trash talk before Green rings the bell and they engage in a collar and elbow tie up. Their mutual shoving match is brief before Jet gains the upper hand. He immediately drives a succession of knee strikes into her stomach and sides, then knocks her back with an uppercut. She bounces off of the ropes, only to be knocked to the mat with a dropkick. Jet grabs her around the neck and drags her over to his corner. He tags Eden, then wraps an arm around Sarah’s neck, takes a step out, turns around and suplexes her back first into the corner. The two immediately begin to lay the boots to her and stomp her viciously. Sam warns Jet to get out of the ring but he’s ignored. He begins the count and Jet finally steps out when he reaches four.
Eden goes to work on Sarah, driving a succession of high knees into her head before she darts out of the corner, knocks Kenzi off of the apron, then dashes back to the corner and drives her knees into Sarah’s face with another vicious knee strike. She tags Jet and the leaps over the rope and into the ring. The two pull Sarah out of the corner and hit her with “Silent Flight”. Jet goes for the pin and Sam drops to the mat as Eden exits the ring. Sam gets to a two count before Kenzi breaks it up. She yanks Jet off of Sarah and lays him out with the “Breakout Performance” before Sam finally pushes her from the ring.
Sam re-enters and begins a standing ten count. As he gets to four, Sarah begins to move. When he reaches seven, Jet rolls over and pushes himself up onto his elbow. Both athletes shake their heads and look to their corners. Jet begins to crawl to his while Sarah shakes her head again and crawls over to the ropes. She begins to pull herself up with the ropes as Jet inches towards his corner.
Jet reaches first and tags Eden in. She leaps over the rope, charges across the ring and takes Sarah down with a chop blocks before she kips up and knocks Kenzi off of the apron again with a vicious punch to the face. She proceeds to work Sarah over, focusing on her legs. She backs up a few steps and waits for Sarah to begin to move. It take a few moments but Sarah finally does so. She finally gets to her feet and turns around...right into “The Hard Way”. She drops onto Sarah but only gets a two before Sarah kicks out.
Eden pulls her up and throws her into The Court’s corner, then tags Jet. Jet enters and bends over to pull Sarah up, but she grabs him and quickly rolls him up. Sam drops to the mat for the count and gets to two before Jet kicks out. He pops back to his feet and spins around right into a palm strike to the jaw that staggers him. She grabs Jet, flips him over with a judo throw and locks in a cross armbreaker. Jet struggles against it and finally manages to get his left foot onto the bottom rope. Sam tells Sarah to break it, but she makes him count to four and a half before she releases it.
Sarah gets to her feet and stomps Jet on the shoulder before she pulls him over to her corner and tags Kenzi. Kenzi enters and the two wrap their arms around Jet’s head and plant him with a double leaping DDT. They pull Jet up and Irish whip him into the far neutral corner, then each one takes turns splashing him in the corner. Jet staggers out and right into a legsweep from Sarah and a superkick from Kenzi that sends him to the mat. Sam orders Sarah to get out of the ring. She does so, but not before she gets in one more kick to the ribs for good measure.
As soon as she steps from the ring, Kenzi turns and tags her and she re-enters. The two proceed to work Jet over and hit him with a tandem neckbreaker, double shotgun dropkicks to his head and a double stalling suplex. Once he down, Sarah pulls him up into a wheelbarrow and Kenzi hits an ace crusher on him, completing the “Box Office Smash”. Sarah immediately gets up, pulls Jet up and whips him into the ropes. He bounces off and is flattened with the “Star Maker”. Sarah drops for the pin as Kenzi steps out.
Sam drop to the mat and gets to two and eight-tenths before Eden breaks it up. She yanks Sarah off of Jet, spins and throws her into Kenzi, which knocks her out of the ropes and to the floor. Sarah staggers back out to center ring. Eden runs at her but is brought up short by a sudden single-leg facebreaker from Sarah. She turns towards her corner to look for Kenzi as Eden staggers back towards hers, where Jet is reaching out for the tag.
Jet reaches first and tags Eden. She enters and intercepts Sarah, then flattens her with a wheelbarrow suplex. She tags Jet back in and the two of them whip Sarah off of the ropes. They throw her up and let her crash to the mat. Unfortunately for them, she lands near her corner. Kenzi leans over and tags herself in, then leaps over and springboards up onto the top rope. She flies into the ring and connects with a double clothesline that flattens Eden and sends Jet from the ring to the outside.
Kenzi pulls Eden up and whips her into the corner, then follows up with a splash. Eden slams into the corner and slumps down as Kenzi backs out. She’s momentarily distracted as she notices Sarah and Jet struggling on the outside. She hesitates as her instinct to help her wife battles with her professional desire to win the match. She drops to a knee as if she's going to slide out, but turns back towards Eden and then freezes.
Eden has that damned serpent head! Jet still has his hands full with Sarah as Eden advances on Kenzi. Kenzi still down, it looks like Eden’s going for the RBF, but Kenzi suddenly leaps up and spins Eden around, hitting a Breakout Performance! On the outside, Sarah hits Jet with The Abyss!
Eden loses her grip on the serpent-head, but as Sarah slides into the ring, the Red Queen scoops it up. Kenzi lifts Eden back up, then signals to Sarah before running to the ropes. They both run at Eden, and pull off a perfect Falcon Punch! Just for good measure, Sarah attacks with the serpent-head before Kenzi notices. Eden crumples, and Kenzi goes in for the pin, securing the win and the Cooperative Championships!!
As Team Kickass celebrates, a recovering Jet leans in to drag Eden out of the ring. As he pulls her under the bottom rope, he notices the serpent-head. Grabbing it up, he looks at it for a moment before slamming it down on the ring apron in frustration.
Jet scoops Eden up in his arms, and angrily stomps up the ramp, leaving the new UGWC Cooperative Champions to close out the show with their celebration.
Winners: Team Kickass
