Championship Wrestling SPIKE
Week 17

The show opens with a recap of last weeks main event and we are then promised exclusive footage of what happened when AJ Styles and The Young Bucks got backstage later in the show.


1) Tommy End vs Silas Young

Holy Shit! This started with a few tentative lock ups, and then Tommy fired off a kick into the leg of Silas. Silas smiled and punched Tommy in the face, to which Tommy laughed and knocked Silas half loopy with a knee strike.....and that was just the feeling out process. These two went on to beat the every loving shit out of each other for the next five minutes with some of the stiffest strikes seen in a wrestling ring since Vader was crippling jobbers. Young looked to have the match won when he sent End for a complete flip with the Last Real Man Lariat then followed it with the Pee Gee Waja Plunge, but End got his foot on the rope. A little later, Young kicked out of the Owari Death Stomp. They exchanged hay makers for another couple minutes until End caught Silas directly in the forehead with a spin kick that may have KO'ed Young. Tommy didn't care and hit another Owari Death Stomp for good measure and got the One, Two, Three.

After the match, Tommy End pulled Silas Young to his feet and offered him a handshake. Young, who has shown nothing but disdain for nearly everyone nodded his head and shook the hand of End before exiting the ring.

Winner: Tommy End


We are taken to the promised footage of Styles and The Young Bucks from last week. It shows The Bucks walking a groggy and out of it Styles behind the curtain where he collapses into a chair. He can be heard asking what happened, and Matt can be heard telling him that The Bullet Club made sure things went his way. Styles looks confused and again asks "What Happened?" It is about this time that Nick notices the cameraman and blasts him with a superkick, sending the image to static.


2) The African American Males (AR Fox/Shane Strickland) vs Veda Scott presents Arrogance (Ethan Page/Joey Ryan)

With ACH choosing to go solo and the Strickland/Willie Mack team falling apart, AR Fox and Shane Strickland came together as The African American Males! They came up against Veda Scott's new team of "All Ego" Ethan Page and Joey Ryan for what turned out to be one hell of a tag team encounter. The Males controlled early, working over Joey Ryan for several minute. Ryan was able to thumb Strickland in the eye and tag in Page who went to work on the smaller man. Strickland took a heck of a beating, but was able to tag Fox who was an all out aerial assault and nearly got the win with the AR-KO. However, Veda Scott would involve herself in the match, verbally assaulting the referee, which allowed Joey Ryan to kick Shane Stickland hard in the groin and plant him with a pedigree. Meanwhile, Page had snuck around the ring and yanked Fox off the apron. Ryan covered Strickland, just as Veda decided that the referee was doing a fine job and turned away, allowing him to count the One, Two, Three.

Winners: Veda Scott presents Arrogance


A video package is shown with highlights of Timothy Thatcher and Zack Sabre Jr twisting opponents into pretzels with the amazing technical prowess and submission moves that both men are known for. We then get a graphic telling us that Timothy Thatcher and Zack Sabre Jr will meet one on one right here next week on Championship Wrestling SPIKE!!


3) Dalton Castle vs Adam Cole vs Johnny Gargano

The first several minutes of the match were Johnny Gargano laying an absolute beating on Adam Cole. Gargano fired Cole into the ropes, and bent down for a back body drop, but Cole put on the brakes and just destroyed Gargano with an awesome piledriver. Cole then hooked Gargano in the Florida Key for the One, Two, KICK OUT!! Cole wasted no time and pulled Gargano to the turnbuckle and nailed him with the Panama Sunrise which was enough for the pinfall.

Johnny Gargano has been eliminated

Castle and Cole had quite the back and forth that saw both men in control several times, but in the end Cole was able to reverse Castle's Deadlift German into the Florida Key and score the victory.

Dalton Castle has been eliminated.

After the match, Cole took it upon himself to superkick one of the boys on his way out of the ring, which led to Castle swearing revenge on Cole when the camera zoomed in on him.

Winner: Adam Cole


Before the main event begins, the camera cuts to the front row where we see Valerie Wyndham, better known to wrestling fans as So Cal Val sitting and watching the action. She waves and winks to the camera. We then cut to the stage where Shane Douglas comes out with the tumbler and spins it before drawing the next challenger for the SPIKE Television Championship.....


4) Roderick Strong vs PJ Black {SPIKE Television Championship}

The second the bell rang Roderick was across the ring like a shot and began firing chops and forearm strikes into the chest of Black. Strong fired Black into the ropes and went for a jumping knee strike, but Black rolled through and then caught Strong with a hellacious dropkick. Roderick immediately rolled to the floor as the referee tried to stop PJ from following him. When it became obvious that Strong was planning to wait until the last possible second to get back in the ring, Black snuck past the referee and slid to the floor, just as Strong slid back in. Black attempted to get back in and got caught with a big kick to the face for his trouble. Roderick was utterly relentless from this point, just hitting Black with every kind of backbreaker he could think of. He finally finished Black off at the nine minute mark after hitting him twice with the End of Heartache.

Winner and Still SPIKE Television Champion: Roderick Strong


The show goes off the air as Strong retreats to the back with a shit eating grin on his face, clutching the title to his chest.

Championship Wrestling SPIKE
Week 18

1) The Young Bucks (Matt/Nick Jackson) vs Inner City Machine Guns (Ricochet/Rich Swann)

It should be noted that The Bucks came to the ring decked out from head to toe in their Bullet Club gear, with Nick saying into the camera "We got your back champ" and then knocking the camera with the Too Sweet hand signal.

This was fifteen minutes of balls to wall to the action that I can't even begin to give play by play of. The Bucks worked over Swann for a long time, at first getting cheers for the semi-cutesy heel offense they are known for, but then they managed to ramp up the dickhead factor just enough that the crowd turned against them. Swann finally managed to counter and tag Ricochet who went absolutely nuts with insane high flying offense and evened things back up. The end came when Ricochet attempted a standing moonsault on Nick, only to be superkicked mid-flip by Matt. Swann came in and went for a spinning kick, which Matt ducked and then by then Nick was back up and they absolutely murdered Swann with Early Onset Alzheimers. Ricochet started to get up, but was hooked and planted with More Bang for Your Buck for the victory.

Winners: The Young Bucks


After the match, Nick took the microphone and said that since "their boy was the heavyweight champion" they should get a shot at the winners of tonight's Tag Title match. The music of "The Franchise" Shane Douglas hit and he came onto the stage and told The Young Bucks that he wasn't prepared to name them the number one contenders, but next week they are entered in a seven team gauntlet match, and the team that walks out of that with the win, will be the next challengers for the Championship Wrestling SPIKE World Tag Team Titles.


2) Timothy Thatcher vs Zack Sabre Jr.

These two had a solid two minutes of brilliant technical exchanges going on, when Drew Gulak hit the ring and clubbed Zack Sabre Jr across the back of the neck with a hard forearm strike. Gulak grabbed the stunned Sabre and dumped him on his head with a release German suplex which left Zack laying. Biff Busick came charging down to the ring after Gulak, who quickly bailed out the other side of the ring and headed for the back. A frustrated Busick shoved Thatcher out of his way as he went to exit the ring, but Thatcher was just as annoyed at having his match ruined and grabbed hold of Busick. The two of them began to blast one another with stiff European Uppercuts, until a herd of referees and officials ran down to separate them and check on Zack Sabre.

Winner: Zack Sabre Jr by Disqualification


A short vignette is aired announcing that Drew Galloway returns from injury next week.


3) Cedric Alexander vs ACH

Fantastic match from start to finish that saw both guys looks like a million bucks. ACH looked to have it in the bag early, just taking it to Cedric and nearly putting him away with a 450 splash and the Big Bang Attack but Alexander just would not stay down. Alexander turned the tide in a huge way, connecting with the Kick to Kill from out of nowhere which sent ACH to the floor. Cedric sent caution to the wind and dove on him with a suicide dive that sent ACH crashing into the guard rails. A bit later Cedric caught ACH right under the chin with a superkick that left ACH wobbling in the center of the ring, and another Kick to Kill was what Alexander needed to bring it home.

Winner: Cedric Alexander

After the match, both men shook hands and embraced to a standing ovation from the fans in attendance.


Before the main event could begin, the CWS World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles came to the ring dressed in his street clothes. He asked for the microphone and looked bothered by the decidedly mixed reaction from the capacity crowd.

"Ladies and Gentleman, and especially you Matt Sydal. I need to apologize for what happened here two weeks ago. When I wrestle in Japan, I am part of a group called the Bullet Club that includes The Young Bucks. But here in Championship Wrestling SPIKE, I am my own man, and I have no association with Matt and Nick Jackson. They had no business interfering in the championship match two weeks ago, and I can not in good conscious allow that victory to stand. So, I have gone to Shane Douglas and the board of directors and demanded that at the earliest opportunity they sanction another match between myself and Mr. Sydal with the title on the line. Ladies and Gentleman, I am sorry that you were deprived of a fair ending to the championship match two weeks ago, and Matt Sydal, I apologize to you that those two idiots thought for a second that I would rather they come out and save my title reign, than allow a man who was obviously the superior athlete that night to defeat me. I hold the championship and what it means in the highest regard, and there is not a doubt in my mind that if you were man enough to defeat me, you would be more than worthy to hold the gold. I look forward to competing against you again in the very near future. Thank You."

Styles left the ring to a somewhat more positive reaction, but there were still people jeering him.


4) The Briscoe Brothers (Jay/Mark Briscoe) vs War Machine (Hanson/Rowe) {CWS World Tag Team Championship}

As soon as they announced this as No DQ, No Count Out, Falls Count Anywhere, we knew it was gonna be nuts, but it was like they knew we knew, so they got a little nuttier! We skipped right past any notion of starting this as a wrestling contest and went straight to beating the hell out of each other with all four guys at once. Then when fists weren't good enough we found some chairs, some kendo sticks, and Mark even came up with a "Slow Children at Play" sign that he bent over the head of Hanson. The first table was broken when Jay was launched across the ring by both members of War Machine into one that was set up in the corner. Mark fixed that by doing his best Terry Funk impression with a ladder over his head. The nastiest bump of the match was Mark getting powerbombed over the top rope into a stack of tables by Rowe which looked like something out of Awesome/Tanaka. The end came when Rowe had Mark laid out on a ladder in the ring and sent Hanson up for a moonsault. Jay who had been out of it in a puddle of his own blood on the floor came from out of nowhere and shoved Hanson off the buckle, where he did a forward flip onto a table that was positioned on the floor below him. Rowe came after Jay, but Mark pulled himself up off the ladder and launched himself at Rowe, hitting a Cactus Clothesline that sent both of them tumbling over the ropes and hard to the floor. Meanwhile, Jay pulled Hanson out of the rubble of the table and hit the Jay Driller on the floor for the One, Two, Three.

Winners, and STILL CWS World Tag Team Champions: Jay and Mark, The Briscoe Brothers!

[Pariah]

Holy snap! The main event matchup between The Briscoes and War Machine blew the roof off the joint... No matter who wins next week's gauntlet, their gonna have their hands full trying to take the gold away from Dem Boys...

Styles showed a lot of integrity by offering Matt Sydal a rematch for the title... But, how will his comments be received by the Bucks? Will they take it upon themselves to hamper the Phenomenal One's game going forward?

Some great stories being told here... Very entertaining!

[Blehschmidt]

Appreciate the comments Pariah! Thanks for reading! The Briscoe's were pretty much unstoppable with the old ROH cards, the updated cards have just made them tougher! Looking forward to finding out who, if anyone can take the titles off of them. As for The Bucks.....

Week 19

As the show opens, Matt Sydal is standing in the ring with a microphone in his hand. He manages to get the words "Last week AJ Styles came out here and said" out of his mouth, before The Young Bucks rush the ring and a fight breaks out. Sydal manages to hold his own against two men for a moment, but soon enough the odds prove too much and the Bucks connect with a double superkick that puts Sydal down. AJ Stles comes running from out of the back, and The Bucks quickly exit the ring. Styles checks on Sydal before grabbing the microphone and challenging The Young Bucks to get back in the ring. Nick responds with a Suck It.

Styles turns to Sydal and says that before he grants him the title rematch that he deserves, he would be honored if he would be his tag team partner and help him teach The Young Punks a lesson. A still shaken Sydal nods his head Yes, and Styles throws the microphone at The Bucks. Matt and Nick laugh and act dismissive as they leave the ringside area.


1) Tomasso Ciampa vs Drew Galloway

Galloway was fired up, making his return from the injury he suffered in the tournament for the CWS Championship. Ciampa had other plans however, as he rushed Galloway the moment the bell rang and just laid into him. Ciampa delivered everything in his arsenal, smashing Galloway with running knee strikes, drilling him with a jumping piledriver, and trying to tear his head off with a crossface submission. He managed a very close two count with the Project Ciampa, but Galloway continued to kick out of everything that was thrown at him. A ducked clothesline allowed Galloway to smash Ciampa with a big boot, and connect with his Double Arm DDT. Ciampa was able to kick out at two, but Galloway retained control from that point, and several minutes later another Double Arm DDT scored the victory.

Winner: Drew Galloway


We are taken backstage to Shane Douglas who confirms that next week on Championship Wrestling SPIKE, we will see AJ Styles and Matt Sydal take on The Young Bucks in tag team action.

As we come back from commercial we are shown that Valerie Wyndham is again sitting in the front row taking in the nights action. She smiles and waves to the camera, then points toward the stage.


The tumbler is brought out and Shane Douglas appears to draw the next challenger for the SPIKE Television Title.


4) Roderick Strong vs Biff Busick {SPIKE Television Championship}

HOLY SHIT! These two beat the absolute piss out of each other for fifteen minutes. I'm seriously not even sure I can do this thing justice with words. We started off with Roderick chopping Biff, and Biff retaliating with European uppercuts. These were ridiculously stiff and this went on for almost a minute until both guys were beat red. Then they started grinding in submission holds, dumping each other on their heads, and anything else they could think of. There must have been a dozen near falls in this match, but neither man would stay down. Roderick managed to connect with a Sick Kick at one point that knocked Biff clear out of the ring, and this led to them brawling on the floor multiple times because apparently brutalizing one another in the ring wasn't quite good enough. Roderick was trying to get himself DQ'ed at one point, but the referee wouldn't do it. As the final minute was counting down, Biff went nuts dropping Roderick with a Half and Half Suplex that got two and nine tenths. When that didn't work he sat Strong up top and tried hooking him for the Avalanche Half and Half. Roderick fought it, but with ten seconds left, Biff managed to hoist him off the turnbuckles and send them both crashing to the canvas. Time ran out just as Busick was able to cover Strong.

The Match was Declared a Draw

Roderick Strong remains SPIKE Television Champion.

The crowd was on it's feet giving both men a standing ovation as officials and medical staff came from the back to check on them as the show went off the air.

[Pariah]

Wow! Luck of the draw helps the new team of Ethan Page and Joey Ryan come out on top of the gauntlet... Can Veda Scott lead Arrogance onto becoming CWS World Tag Team Champions?

The main event for the TV title was off the rails... Busick showed great resiliency to battle back in the late stages... Time was not on his side however and Strong retains on the time limit draw...

Can't wait to see AJ team up with Sydal to go against the Bucks... An explosive encounter in the making...

Stellar show!

Championship Wrestling SPIKE
Week 20

1) -10 Man Over the Top Rope Battle Royal-
(Thatcher, Gulak, Sabre, Cole, Castle, Galloway, Alexander, Hero, Young, ACH)

Elimination #1: Drew Galloway blasted Drew Gulak with a huge big boot to the face that left him rocked, then dumped him out to the floor.

Elimination #2: Silas Young attempted a huge clothesline to eliminate Zack Sabre Jr, but was instead backdropped over the top rope for his trouble.

Elimination #3: Dalton Castle grabbed Adam Cole from behind and dumped him to the floor. Castle could be heard quipping that "these things happen when you mess with The Boys."

Elimination #4: Dalton Castle turns around to get back into the action, but Adam Cole jumps back up onto the apron, grabs him by the hair and drags him out of the ring.


Cole tried to quickly escape, but an enraged Castle catches up to him and the two engage in a knock down, drag out brawl all around ringside and up the aisle. A host of referees and officials come rushing out to break them up, as the two men continue to struggle and yell at one another.


Elimination #5: Drew Galloway waited until Timothy Thatcher had finished laying a series of uppercuts into Cedric Alexander, before coming up behind him and hoisting him over the top rope and to the floor.

Elimination #6: Drew Galloway was immediately grabbed by Cedric who did his best to lift him up and out, it took some help from Chris Hero, but the two of them got the job done.

Elimination #7: Cedric Alexander wasted no time in turning on Chris Hero and trying to dump him out of the ring. A running kick from Zack Sabre Jr helped seal the deal as Hero tumbled to the floor.

Elimination #8: Cedric Alexander took a moment to celebrate his two eliminations and was blasted from behind by an ACH dropkick that sent him sailing out of the ring.

Elimination #9: ACH and Zack Sabre Jr went back and forth, but ACH surprised Sabre by catching him with a 'rana that sent both over the ropes, but ACH hung on and Sabre hit the floor.


Battle Royal Winner: ACH


After the match ACH took the mic and said that this was a new beginning for him, that he was finished with tag team competition and was focused on showing why Athleticism, Charisma, and Heart was going to take him to the top of Championship Wrestling SPIKE.


As we return from commercial we are taken backstage where Tommy End is laying thudding kicks into a heavy bag in preparation for his match later tonight. He briefly switches to punches, before throwing a final kick that nearly knocks the bag off of it's chain.


2) War Machine (Hanson/Rowe) vs The Inner City Machine Guns (Ricochet/Rich Swann)

Well, this wasn't so much a match as a legalized murder in the center of a wrestling ring. Hanson and Rowe are apparently a little pissed about not winning the tag team titles, so they hit the ring and in technical terms, made Rich Swann their bitch. Ricochet never even tagged into the match, as Hanson and Rowe just annihilated Swann with virtually every power move in their arsenal. Not one, but two War Machine's ended the night. I'd hear rumor that Swann was done with CWS, and this seems to confirm it.

Winners: War Machine

After the match, Swann was stretchered out of the arena (and the promotion) as Ricochet looked on with concern.


3) Willie Mack vs Tommy End

After the little hype video earlier, I expected this to be a cleverly disguised squash match for Tommy End, but someone apparently forgot to tell Willie Mack. These two beat the piss out of each other to the point that fans in the first several rows were noticeably cringing at some of the shots being delivered by both men. Willie connected with the Chocolate Thunder Bomb and got one of the closest three counts I have ever seen, but Tommy was able to get his shoulder up. The end to this brutal war came when Tommy hit the Morning Star Combination, actually breaking the nose of Willie Mack on the European Uppercut portion of the move. End then covered the stunned and bleeding Mack for the One, Two, Three.

Winner: Tommy End


We are taken backstage where Adam Cole and Dalton Castle are both standing with Shane Douglas. Douglas informs them that there request to fight one another next week has been denied by the Board of Directors. Cole and Castle both start to voice displeasure with the decision, but Douglas cuts them off. He tells them that CWS is scouting for new talent, so next week both men can find someone that is not currently employed by Championship Wrestling SPIKE and bring them to be an opponent for the other. Both would obviously rather fight one another, but agree to find someone to kick the others ass.


4) The Young Bucks vs Matt Sydal/AJ Styles

Before the bell rang, The Young Bucks clipped the knee of AJ Styles and then attempted to hit Sydal with a double superkick, but Sydal forward rolled past them and caught them with a double clothesline. The Bucks bailed to the floor, as Sydal and the referee checked on Styles who was clutching his knee. AJ said he would be fine, but limped heavily to the corner. Sydal started the match and took it to both Matt and Nick for several minutes, but maintaining an advantage in a two on one situation is easier said than done. Once the Bucks were able to take control, thanks to a big eye rake from Matt, they made frequent tags and really laid a beating on Sydal. Finally Nick went up top, and Matt got Sydal on his shoulders. Matt took off across the ring to begin More Bang for Your Buck, but Sydal slid off his shoulders and shoved Matt into Nick who fell crotch first onto the top rope! Sydal stumbled across the ring and tagged in AJ Styles.......who immediately blasted Sydal with a Pele Kick!!! The Bucks came across the ring and Too Sweeted a laughing Styles as all three began to lay the boots to a downed Sydal. Styles even took the time to do some jumping jacks to show that the knee injury was fake. Finally Matt hoisted Sydal up into the tombstone position, and Styles launched Nick into the air allowing The Young Bucks to connect with The Indytaker on Sydal for the One, Two, Three.

Winners: The Young Bucks


As the show comes to a close, Styles raises the CWS World Heavyweight Championship into the air as The Bullet Club stands tall.

[Pariah]

Snap! 'Reborn' Matt Sydal gets thrashed by the Bullet Club... Not surprised that Styles opted to stick with the Bucks... Safety in numbers, after all...

Always enjoy a good Battle Royal... Some great heat built up between Cole and Castle... Galloway looked strong, but a dual effort finally took him out... And a superb performance by ACH brings him out on top...

War Machine fought like men possessed... Hopefully, Swann will make a full (if not fast recovery)... Could we see Ricochet in the market for a new partner?

Plenty of solid action with some excellent build up for future encounters... Nice work!

Championship Wrestling SPIKE
Week 21

We open with Shane Douglas standing in the center of the ring as Dalton Castle and Adam Cole stare one another down. Douglas states that last week he told both of them that they could not fight the other, but that they could find someone to fight that fight for them. He says he will flip a coin to see who goes first, and asks Adam Cole to call it. Cole calls Heads, but the coin is Tails. Adam Cole must wrestle Castle's chosen opponent first. Douglas then forces Castle out of the ring, as unfamiliar music begins to play...


1) Adam Cole vs Matt Cross

The former M-Dogg 20, Matt Cross made his Championship Wrestling SPIKE debut as Dalton Castle's handpicked opponent for Adam Cole, and he certainly brought the havoc! Cross went off as soon as the bell rang and began to uncork his insane aerial offense that left Cole off his game and nearly spelled defeat several times. Cole tried to fight back, but for a solid eight minutes it seemed that Cross had his number. It was finally a superkick from Cole as Cross was rebounding off the ropes that turned the tides as Cole immediately followed it up the Florida Key. It only got two, but Cole was in firm control after that, and several minutes later, a second Florida Key secured the victory.

Winner: Adam Cole


A winded Cole laughs at a fuming Castle who was still standing outside the ring with Douglas. Castle heads into the ring, flanked by his boys and waits for the opponent chosen by Cole.


2)Dalton Castle vs Tim Donst

Tim Donst is a guy who has been making a name for himself all over the U.S. and is a great pick up by CWS, as not only is he a fantastic wrestler but he has quite an inspirational story to tell as well. Cole got on commentary and said that Donst was his "shooter" and "policeman" and was going to beat Castle into submission. I was expecting a decent match out of these two guys, but god damn I wasn't ready for a classic! They got a solid twenty minutes of back and forth chain wrestling, bone jarring suplexes, and insanely close near falls. I was even more surprised when Donst hooked Castle and dropped him with his SDT finisher and scored the One, Two, Three.

Winner: Tim Donst

After the match as Adam Cole was gloating on commentary, Castle got to his feet and offered a handshake to Donst. Donst accepted it, and the two men embraced in the center of the ring. Cole immediately went from overjoyed to irate, and tossed aside his headset to rush the ring. Cole went right after Castle, but shoved Donst out of the way to do so. Donst thought about it for about two seconds, then grabbed Cole from behind and dropped him on his head with a German Suplex. Donst left the ring as a smirking Dalton Castle stood above the fallen Adam Cole, soon to be flanked by his boys.


3) Red Dragon (Kyle O'Reilly/Bobby Fish) vs Best Friends (Chuck Taylor/Trent Barreta)

I feel bad that these guys had to follow that last match, but the show must go on. Trent and Bobby Fish started this one out, and Fish was in firm control from the get go. He worked Trent over for several minutes, including getting a near fall off his Sleeps With the Fishes move. He and Kyle nailed a brutal backbreaker/flying knee drop combo, then Kyle took over the ass beating. Trent didn't fair any better against Kyle, including getting briefly getting locked in ARMageddon, but he managed to reach the ropes. Trent finally found a surge of energy, and ducked a Kyle O'Reilly kick, rolled across the ring and tagged in Chuck Taylor. Sexy Chuckie T came in like a mad man and leveled Kyle with a big boot. He then charged across the ring and nailed Fish with another big boot that sent Fish flying off the ring apron and nearly into the guard rail. O'Reilly charged Chuck, but Chuck somehow got behind him and spun him upside down...AWFUL WAFFLE!! Good God, he just spiked Kyle right on his head!! Trent came back in, ran across the ring, and dove on Bobby Fish who was recovering on the floor, while Taylor covered the down and out O'Reilly for the One, Two, Three!! That finish came out of nowhere, either the Friends are getting a big push, or that last match ran really long!

Winners: Best Friends (Chuck Taylor/Trent Barreta)


As the show came back from commercial, they were wheeling the tumbler onto the stage for the drawing of the TV Title opponent, but instead of Shane Douglas coming out to pick the opponent, AUSTIN ARIES showed up on the stage!! He grabbed the microphone and declared that "Championship Wrestling SPIKE had finally come to their senses and decided to give the greatest man that ever lived everything he wanted to become a full time member of the company." He went on to say that his road to the CWS Championship begins next week, and that any man with the balls to be the first stepping stone on that path should meet him in the center of his ring next week.

Shane Douglas then hit the stage and drew the opponent for tonight's SPIKE Television Title match....


4) Roderick Strong vs ACH {SPIKE Television Championship}

Fresh off of his big battle royal win, ACH got the draw to be the challenger tonight, but Roderick Strong was primed and ready to go. Strong controlled the opening minutes of the match, trying to put his opponent away quick. ACH was game however, fighting out from under Strong several times, and managing to kick out of the End of Heartache when Strong managed to connect with it. ACH took over on offense and got a near fall with an amazing 450 splash, but Strong managed to drape his foot over the ropes for the break. Strong fought back and connected with another End of Heartache, then nearly tore the head off of ACH with a Sick Kick for the successful title defense.

Winner and Still SPIKE Television Champion: Roderick Strong

Championship Wrestling SPIKE
Week 22

As the show opens, Austin Aries is already in the ring, pacing back and forth, waiting for his opponent. He grabs the microphone from the ring announcer and says that he figured there was no one with the balls to wrestle him, so they may as well go ahead and send Styles out here, so that he can go ahead and become champion. The music of PJ Black stops his rant, and it appears we have a match.


1) Austin Aries vs PJ Black

Black was game, but Aries wasn't going to be denied in his big CWS return. Aries started the match cocky, and Black caught him early taking control. Black even managed to connect with his 450 Splash at right around the five minute mark, but Aries was able to kick out. Aries was fired up after that and came back with a vengeance. A heat seeking missile dropkick in the corner nearly took the face off of Black's head, and then a Brainbuster spelled the end. Aries wasn't done however, hitting a second, and then a third Brainbuster before covering Black only after the referee threatened to DQ him if he didn't end the match.

Winner: Austin Aries

The show went to commercial as Aries yelled into the camera that he wouldn't be denied, and that he didn't come back to be second best.


2) Timothy Thatcher/Drew Gulak vs Biff Busick/Zack Sabre Jr.

This match was over before it ever began as the tension between all four guys was at a fever pitch before the bell ever rang. Thatcher and Sabre started off, but as soon as Thatcher was near the corner, Gulak tagged himself in. Thatcher wasn't happy, but got out of the ring as instructed. Gulak worked on Sabre, but once Sabre took the advantage and made the tag, Gulak got away from Busick as soon as possible and tagged Thatcher back in with a hard slap to the chest. Busick went to the outside and chased Gulak around the ring, which allowed Sabre to catch Gulak with a huge kick from the apron as he ran past. Apparently Busick wanted to be the one to beat up Gulak, so he tossed Sabre hard into the guard rail, and soon Thatcher joined them on the floor and all four men ended up brawling all around ringside. Eventually the referee had enough and called for the bell.

Winner: NO CONTEST

A host of referees and officials came out to separate the four men. As they were being pulled in different directions, Shane Douglas came onto the stage and announced that he just received word from the Board of Directors that next week these four men will compete in a Four Way Elimination match!


3) Drew Galloway vs Cedric Alexander

This was a strange one. If the point was to start a Galloway heel turn and make him look like a killer, then it succeeded. But it certainly did nothing for Alexander who has looked really good in all of his outings so far. Galloway looked pissed off from the minute he hit the ring, and he went after Alexander with a fury. After a couple minutes of a one sided ass beating, he tossed Cedric to the floor and blasted him with a chair across the back. The referee saw it, but didn't call for a DQ for some reason. Galloway rolled Cedric back in the ring, plowed him with a Double Arm DDT and covered him for the One, Two, Three.

Winner: Drew Galloway

After the match Galloway took the microphone and said that he was en route to winning the tournament for the CWS Championship when he got injured, but now that he is back, he isn't going to waste his time against guys not on his level, and that Sydal has had enough chances. He wants his shot at the CWS Title.

4) The Briscoe Brothers (Jay/Mark Briscoe) vs Veda Scott presents Arrogance (Joey Ryan/Ethan Page) {CWS World Tag Team Championship}

Another tag title defense, another war! This one was a bit different, instead of tables and chairs, this was a straight up twenty minute wrestling war. The Briscoe's brought the hard hitting offense that they are known for, and for a few minutes it seemed that Joey and Ethan would be done quickly. However the two of them dug deep and fought back, and this turned into one hell of a contest. It seemed for a moment around the twelve minute mark that Arrogance had things locked up when Ryan hit the Walk Off on Jay, which Page followed up with the Head Shot. Mark made the save at the last possible second, and then unleashed some Redneck Kung Fu that rocked both men. The Briscoe's had things won when Mark went up top to spike Ethan Page who was set up for the Jay Driller, but Joey Ryan grabbed hold of the referee, and Veda Scott shoved Mark off the turnbuckle. Jay went ahead and plowed Page with the Driller, then charged Ryan with a Yakuza Kick, but Ryan pulled the referee into his path.

With the ref down, Ryan blasted Jay with another Walk Off, but before he could capitalize, two men hit the ring and blasted him with a pair of superkicks. They tossed the half conscious Jay Briscoe on top, and shook the referee awake as they exited the ring. The dazed ref counted One, Two, Three.

Winners, and still CWS World Tag Team Champions: Jay and Mark, The Briscoe Brothers!


As the show went off the air, an irate Veda Scott stood screaming on the floor, and The Briscoe Brothers looked on in confusion, as the smiling faces of Rhett Titus and Kenny King walked up the ramp, having just cost Arrogance the titles.

[Pariah]

The Briscoes are the ones to beat and it's going to be difficult for any team to remove those title belts from their grasp... Do ANX have a plan? They better...

Galloway vs Sydal for the top prize is something I can't wait to see... Will the Bullet Club interject? Or will they wait to see how it plays out before the Phenomenal One sets them in motion? Either way, expect the sky to start falling down without notice...

Entertaining stuff!
