-There has still been no official word from Championship Wrestling SPIKE since WWE signed away their World Champion AJ Styles and five other talents last week.

-However, the Spike TV website no longer lists that premiere date for Season 2 as airing in 2 weeks, and instead lists the show with a return date of "To Be Announced"

-The Wrestling Onlooker is reporting that behind the scenes things are in an uproar and the promotion is "on hold" until things get worked out. They expect that some of the executives that were put in place by Spike, may be getting the boot.



(Just an FYI to anyone reading, this is all for storyline purposes, Season 2 will start real soon!!)

911Wrestling.com BREAKING NEWS

-It has been just over two months since World Wrestling Entertainment poached the Championship Wrestling SPIKE World Champion AJ Styles and five other talents. The CWS Season 2 Premiere was subsequently postponed and since that time the company has been silent, leading to speculation that cancellation was imminent.

-News broke this morning that last week, Spike moved several upper level executives who were associated with the CWS branch to different departments, and terminated the contracts of the talent relations department. It is being reported that a single man has been promoted and given control of the Championship Wrestling SPIKE brand.

-Later this afternoon it was announced that Season 2 will premiere in two weeks time, and that an aggressive marketing campaign would begin immediately to promote the upcoming season.

#AChampionWillBeCrowned went on to trend on Twitter for several hours after the announcement.

Championship Wrestling SPIKE Season 2
Week 1

The show opens with a video recap of Season 1. The Heavyweight Title Tournament featuring some of the best in the world, the injury to Drew Galloway, the finale between Styles and Matt Sydal, and AJ Styles coming out on top as the first Championship Wrestling SPIKE Heavyweight Champion. We then get clips of the rematches between the two men, the involvement of The Young Bucks, and finally Styles ultimately triumphing. We get footage of The Briscoe Brothers dominating the Tag Team Tournament and anyone who stepped in their way, we get footage of The Bucks mixing their spectacular offense with dastardly cheating. We then see The Bucks defeat The Briscoes for the CWS World Tag Team Championships, the first title change in CWS history. We get footage of Roderick Strong overcoming 15 men to win the first annual Cibernetico and become the SPIKE Television Champion. We see clips of the tumbler, and of Strong defending the belt again and again. We get clips of the 4 way between Thatcher, Gulak, Sabre, and Busick that tore the house down. We see Silas Young get the surprise win on Chris Hero. We see Tommy End destroying people with kicks. Clips of Sami Callihan, Drew Galloway, and all of the other big players, finally ending with Chris Hero holding aloft his Golden Ticket.


We fade into the arena with a shot of the fans in attendance losing their minds as Championship Wrestling SPIKE Season 2 has begun!!

On the stage is a man we've not seen before. He is dressed in a gray suit, with blonde hair pulled into a ponytail and a neatly trimmed beard. He steps to a podium on the corner of the stage and speaks into the attached microphone.

"Ladies and Gentleman, my name is Whitfield James. After the events that transpired in the time between the end of the first season and the.... delayed beginning of this one, the executives at Viacom have seen fit to disband the Championship Wrestling SPIKE Board of Directors and send Shane Douglas back into retirement. I am now the sole voice of authority here in Championship Wrestling SPIKE."

The crowd begins to boo the straight forward demeanor with which this man speaks. He regards them with only a slight lifting of his eye brows.

"I am not here to play favorites. I am here to make this company the best professional wrestling company on the planet. I can not be bought, I will not be intimidated, and I will not be dazzled by the stars of this company. With my security staff led by Dan Barry of Tremendous Investigations, and a team of the best referees in the business, my goal is to present you with the best weekly professional wrestling program that I can. I would also like to promise you that I have done everything in my power to make sure that another incident such as the one that occurred during the break between seasons will not happen again, and on a personal note, I would like to let our friends in Stamford know that in the coming weeks and months, I intend to show them that the door works both ways."

That comment draws a cheer from the crowd in attendance.

"Now, this leaves us with the question of what to do with the now vacant Championship Wrestling SPIKE World Heavyweight Title. I have struggled with this decision for several weeks. I pondered another tournament, I pondered allowing Chris Hero to cash in his Golden Ticket for the title, I pondered a battle royal, I pondered option after option and finally I settled on what I consider to be one of the biggest sucesses of the first season of Championship Wrestling SPIKE....Roderick Strong."

Before Mr. James can continue, Roderick Strong comes walking onto the stage carrying his SPIKE Television Title with his manager So Cal Val walking behind him. Roderick can be heard asking "Where's the Belt"

"You misunderstand me Mr. Strong. I did not mean that I would be awarding you the title. I meant that last season you overcame fifteen men to become the first SPIKE Television Champion by winning one of the most grueling matches in all of wrestling. I thought what better way to crown the new Championship Wrestling SPIKE World Heavyweight Champion than by making whoever that man is overcome those same odds and win Torneo Cibernetico!"

So Cal Val can be heard saying "and Roderick gets the first spot!"

"Over the next several weeks, there will be qualifying matches between all of the top talents here in CWS. On week six of this season, we will have a special extended edition of Championship Wrestling SPIKE and on that night we will have the Cibernetico, and we will crown the NEW CWS World Heavyweight Champion."

Roderick practically yells "and I'll be in it!!"

"Whoever the SPIKE Television Champion is at the time of the Cibernetico is guaranteed a spot in that match Mr. Strong."

Val jumps for joy and gives Roderick a big hug, neither of them noticing the SPIKE Television Title Tumbler being rolled onto the stage behind them.

"Furthermore Roderick, in line with the new SPIKE Television Championship rules, I would like to present you with this check for Five Thousand Dollars. Congratulations on your amazing title reign and your six title defenses so far. Now it is time for you to kick off the in ring portion of this season by defending that title."

Mr. James walks over and gives the tumbler a spin before drawing a name from it.

"and your opponent is....."


1) Roderick Strong w/So Cal Val vs Mark Briscoe {SPIKE Television Championship} <7th Defense>

Mark Briscoe got a huge reaction from the crowd and looks even more like a cavemen with his hair and beard grown out. It didn't matter though, because Roderick Strong was having none of it tonight. Briscoe had brief flurries of offense, but Strong was pinpoint accuracy and brutal strikes all the way. A Sick Kick looked to be the end, but Mark got his foot on the rope. Strong tossed him up for the End of Heartache but Briscoe landed on his feet and stunned Roderick with a shining wizard for Mark's closest fall of the match. But a minute later and a second Sick Kick spelled the end of another challenger.

Winner and Still SPIKE Television Champion: Roderick Strong


2) Best Friends (Chuck Taylor/Trent Baretta) vs Double Dragon (Lio Rush/Louis Lyndon)

The new team of Rush and Lyndon made a huge impact with the fans with a high energy entrance, matching martial arts gear, and Lyndon's Raiden hat! This was a pretty back and forth match for the opening minutes, with all four men showing off some of their best moves. Eventually Taylor took over on the much smaller Rush and worked him over quite a bit. He tagged in Trent who took over the beating, and then tagged Chuck back in. Things looked grim for Rush, when Trent came in for a double team move and accidentally blasted Chuckie T with a high impact knee to the face. That allowed Rush to make the tag, and Lyndon came in like a man possessed. He nailed Trent with a pump kick that sent him out of the ring, he then grabbed a recovering Chuck Taylor and hooked him in a body lock Dragon Sleeper. Taylor had nowhere to go and was forced to tap out. Double Dragon celebrated, as the Best Friends had a brief argument about this miscue, before eventually shaking hands and then hugging.

Winners: Double Dragon (Lio Rush/Louis Lyndon)


As we come back from a commercial break we are shown a split screen of the backstage area where the two competitors in our main event, Michael Elgin and Kenny Omega are getting ready. Elgin looks intense and if lifting heavy weights, while Omega sits on the floor with his eyes closed with headphones covering his ears.


3) Timothy Thatcher vs Matt Sydal (Cibernetico Qualifying Match)

This was a massive clash of styles right from the start as Thatcher immediately attempted to stop Sydal from utilizing his speed and flying, and Sydal of course attempted to keep Thatcher off guard with agility and constant movement. It became apparent quickly that the winner of this match would be the one who could assert dominance and force their game plan onto the other. The defining moment for that came on a Sydal leapfrog, when Thatcher snagged his leg in the air and flapjacked him to the canvas. Sydal crashed hard on his knee, and Thatcher went to work, wrenching the knee with submissions, driving it repeatedly into the canvas, and just twisting it every way he could. Sydal tried mounting several comebacks, but each time Thatcher would attack the leg and stop the momentum. The end finally came when Thatcher attempted an Irish Whip, and Sydal collapsed half way across the ring, Thatcher simply reached down, grabbed the leg and twisted, and Sydal tapped out.

Winner: Timothy Thatcher


We are taken backstage where Tommy End is stopped and asked about his match next week with Chris Dickinson. End states that he hasn't forgotten what happened with Dickinson at Know Your Enemy, and that he promises Dickinson will never forget next week.


4) "Unbreakable" Michael Elgin vs Kenny Omega (Cibernetico Qualifying Match)

Elgin came out strong, pinballing Omega all over the ring, and showing off his ridiculous strength. Omega resorted to raking the eyes to take control of the match and began to work over the big man, using his speed to keep him off balance. The match became far more back and forth after that and stretched deep into the twenty minute territory. Elgin looked to finish Omega off with his Elgin Bomb, but Omega countered it into a rana that sent Elgin crashing into the turnbuckles. Omega was quickly up and blasted him with a superkick. Omega hooked him and dropped him with the Aoi Shoudou, which only got a two count. Omega didn't get frustrated and pulled Elgin onto his shoulders for a firemans carry/moonsault combination, which only got a one count. Elgin started his comeback, blasting Omega with huge forearm strikes and nearly taking him out of his boots with a lariat. Elgin whipped him into the corner and called for a superplex. Elgin hoisted him up and decided to hold him there to think about it, which allowed Omega to slide down his back and get Elgin on his shoulders. Omega crashed Elgin to the mat with the One Winged Angel for the One, Two, Thr..KICK OUT!!! Omega was beside himself, and nearly got DQ'ed shoving the referee. Omega turned around to find Elgin back on his feet and charging him with a lariat. Omega ducked and blasted Elgin with a superkick, Elgin fell into the ropes and when he came back off Omega thrust his Hadouken strike into the chest of Elgin which spun him around and left him held up by the ropes. Omega quickly got under him, hoisted him up, and dropped him with another One Winged Angel which got the pinfall.

Winner: Kenny Omega

Championship Wrestling SPIKE Season 2
Week 2

The show opens in the office of Whitfield James, we see him sitting at his desk reading over something when there is a knock on the door. He looks up and says "Come on in" and we see Chris Hero walk into the office. Mr. James motions for Hero to take a seat which he does.

"Thank You for coming Mr. Hero. I wanted to speak with you about the Golden Ticket that you won last year. I wanted to let you know how it works, and present you with a few options concerning our current situation. If you choose to hold on to it, once a champion is crowned, I require one weeks notice that you would like to redeem your Golden Ticket for an opportunity to compete for the CWS World Championship. I will not have the value of my most prestigous title diminished by having people run in while the champion is laying in the center of the ring unconcious. It is unsportsmanlike, unfair, and far too "entertainment" for my tastes. I know some people are afraid of the word wrestling and don't want to treat what we are as a sport, but I am not one of those people."

Hero nods in agreement, before Mr. James continues.

"Now, our current situation presents different options. You can continue to hold on to the ticket, wait until this situation has sorted itself out and then cash in against whoever comes out of the Cibernetico as champion. If you so choose, you can turn in the Golden Ticket now, and gain automatic entry into the Cibernetico and take your chance against fifteen other men. You and I both know those aren't the best odds, but it is an option. Now, you should also know that if you don't choose that option, I intend to give you an opportunity to compete to gain entry into the match as well. However, if you compete and lose, the chance to use the ticket for entry is void. So what will it be Mr. Hero?"

Hero stands up, extends his hand to Mr. James, who takes it and speaks before heading out.

"I'll just have to beat whoever you put in front of me, win the Cibernetico and the title, and then keep the ticket as an insurance policy"

Hero leaves the office as Whitfield James nods his head with an amused smirk on his face.


1) Sami Callihan vs Donovan Dijak w/Veda Scott (Cibernetico Qualifying Match)

The 6'7" Dijak was introduced as the new client of Veda Scott and was very impressive in his first outing. It was just unfortunate for him that he found himself up against The Callihan Death Machine who cut a quick interview before the match insinuating that it was the ass kicking that he delivered to AJ Styles back at the Season 1 Finale that caused the champion to run away, and promised a similar ass kicking here to get him one step closer to the championship. As I said, Dijak was impressive, using his size to wear down Callihan, but Callihan was not to be denied this evening, coming at Dijak like a rabid pitbull. The end of the match came when Dijak had Callihan up for his Feast Your Eyes finish, but Sami slipped out the back and just began to club Dijak in the back and then the back of the head with hard forearm strikes. When Dijak was bent over, Sami hooked him and drove him down with the Headlock Driver. He then hooked in the Stretch Muffler and sat back as far as he possibly could, forcing Dijak to tap out.

Winner: Sami Callihan


2) Tommy End vs Chris Dickinson (Cibernetico Qualifying Match)

For those that don't remember, Dickinson attempted to make a name for himself at the expense of Tommy End during the Season Finale. Now tonight, End comes looking for revenge. These two started by skipping the collar and elbow tie up and instead took turns kicking one another in the chest as hard as they possibly could. Dickinson would ultimately lose that battle to the kick boxer and Tommy End would continue to brutalize him with kicks and elbows. Dickinson would mount a comeback and knock Tommy loopy with a nasty enzuigiri and dumped him on his head with a wheelbarrow suplex. End came back and nearly decapitated Dickinson with a bicycle knee, then dropped him center of the ring with a brainbuster. End headed up top and and scored with the Owari Death Stomp. End chose not to cover Dickinson, instead dragging him back to his feet and blasting him with another major kick to the head and then went back up top. He dropped another Owari Death Stomp, this time landing on the upper chest and shoulder of Dickinson, which caused him to yell out in pain and immediately clutch the shoulder. End then hooked him for the One, Two, Three. If people weren't on the Tommy End bandwagon before this match, I think his Twitter followers and t-shirt sales are about to go up!

Winner: Tommy End


We are taken backstage where we see Whitfield James looking annoyed as Head of Security Dan Barry and his team stand between Adam Cole and Dalton Castle, two men who have a long standing rivalry with one another. Both men look ready to fight at the first word from the other, but the new man in charge seems to have things in control. He goes on to tell both men that next week, they will be in the main event in a Cibernetico Qualifying match and it will be the end of this thing between them and there will be a decisive winner, because it will be a SPIKE Street Fight!


3) Drew Gulak vs Zack Sabre Jr (Cibernetico Qualifying Match)

What most expected to be another technical masterpiece between two technical masters started out that way. Gulak went on the attack early, working over Sabre's lower back with a series of strikes, submissions, and suplexes. A Spine Splitter looked to have sealed the deal, but Sabre managed to get his foot on the bottom rope. It went on this way for several minutes, but Gulak seemed to grow frustrated, and as soon as he made his first mistake, Sabre went right to work and began decimating the arm of Gulak. The abrupt end came Sabre went to shoot Gulak into the ropes, but Gulak reversed it. Gulak went for a back body drop, but Sabre countered with a sunset flip. Gulak in turn countered by sitting down on it, and as Sabre tried in vain to kick his way out of it, the referee counted the three.

Winner: Drew Gulak


4) The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson/Nick Jackson) vs Red Dragon (Kyle O'Reilly/Bobby Fish) - {CWS World Tag Team Championship}

Before the bell rang, The Bucks were throwing superkicks and sent Bobby Fish out of the ring. O'Reilly went nuts and started firing elbow strikes and kicks into both of the Jackson brothers and had them rocking and reeling, before he made the mistake of bouncing into the ropes for something and then it was superkicks for him as well. The opening insanity went on for a solid three minutes, with The Bucks diving out of the ring, Bobby Fish hitting a somersault senton from one side of the buckles to the floor, and O'Reilly hitting Matt Jackson with a kick from the apron that I legit thought killed him for a second. Things finally slowed down, and we got a match that went into the twenty minute territory. Red Dragon was dominant and The Bucks looked to be in real trouble as we came down the stretch. The end came when all four men were fighting in the ring, Kyle O'Reilly and Matt Jackson tumbled out to the floor on a leg lariat. Bobby Fish blistered Nick Jackson with a kick that sent Nick flying backwards, where his elbow inadvertently caught the referee in the face.

From behind the curtain, Kenny Omega and a steel chair came running towards the ring. As Omega went to slide in with the chair, Bobby Fish stomped down on the steel chair, smashing the fingers of Omega. Fish then fired a kick into the chest of Omega. Fish turned around to go back after Nick, only to be blasted with a superkick from Matt, who had sent O'Reilly into the guardrail on the floor. Matt and Nick went to work stomping Bobby Fish, as Omega quickly exited the ring and began repeatedly sending Kyle O'Reilly into the ringpost and the guardrail. Back in the ring, Matt hoisted Bobby Fish into position for a tombstone, and Nick slid the chair under his head, before heading for the apron. A Meltzer Driver onto the chair would spell the end for Bobby Fish. Nick slid the chair from the ring, as Matt covered Fish. Nick shook the referee back into consciousness, and in a haze he counted the One, Two, Three.

Winners, and Still CWS World Tag Team Champions: Matt and Nick Jackson, The Young Bucks

Kenny Omega slid into the ring with a microphone and the belts which he handed to Matt and Nick. Matt took the microphone and began to speak...

"You know just because the so called captain ran off to pilot another ship, doesn't mean the Club is gone baby. Our good brother Kenny Omega has made his way to Spike Wrestling, and he has already qualified to win that CWS World Championship. Now that we've made it public knowledge that the band is back together and better than ever, things here are just going to be TOO SWEET!!!"

The members of The Bullet Club begin to "Too Sweet" one another as they celebrate in the ring.

It should also be noted that while this was happening, a swarm of paramedics hit the other side of the ring and Bobby Fish was taken out on a stretcher after taking the tombstone on the chair. Kyle O'Reilly and the referee both looked very concerned as he was being removed.

Championship Wrestling SPIKE Season 2
Week 3

We start with Whitfield James on the stage alongside the SPIKE Television Title tumbler. He gives it a quick spin, and then announces the opponent....

1) Roderick Strong w/So Cal Val vs Hanson - {SPIKE Television Championship} <8th Defense>

The moment the bell rang, Roderick Strong flew across the ring and tried to kick the head off of Hanson. Strongs follow up was relentless, blasting the stunned big man with chops and knees in the corner, and then he hoisted him up and dropped him with a back suplex. Strong was shocked when he only got a count of two. Strong was quickly back up and began to stomp on the lower back of Hanson, and then dropped a series of knees into it. Strong again hoisted the big man up and dropped him with a backbreaker across the knees. Strong quickly locked on the Strong Hold. Hanson scratched and clawed his way across the ring and made it to the ropes, and Strong was beside himself. The match continued like this with Roderick trying everything possible to take out the big man, until at the seven minute mark, Hanson ducked a Sick Kick attempt and nearly decapitated Strong with a clothesline. A worn down Hanson then went to work on Strong battering him with power moves, and scoring a two and a half count off a powerbomb at the nine minute mark. The end came when Hanson cartwheeled past a Roderick Strong leaping knee strike attempt, and nailed him with the Spin Kick of Doom. Hanson then covered Strong for the One, Two,Th....the bell rang signalling the expiration of the time limit.

Winner: Time Limit Draw (Roderick Strong retains the SPIKE Television Title)


As the show returns from commercial break a man enters the ring dressed in a suit and snatches the microphone out of the hands of the ring announcer. He is a face familiar to fans who watched the wrestling show that used to air on this network, and has since been airing on some other network while it continues to cling to life, but I don't think anyone would know him from that network! Anyhow, he took center ring with the microphone and quickly made some enemies....

"So this is it? This is the great Championship Wrestling Spike that everyone is raving about? I can't say that I've been impressed by anything I've seen so far, but at least this place seems to be heading in the right direction with the new talent they've been hiring...namely me. For those of you who don't know who I am, my name is Ethan Carter the 3rd. Once upon a time there was another wrestling company that aired on this network, and another member of my insanely wealthy family ran it. Unfortunately, she was the black sheep of the family and she squandered away her money and ran that company into the ground, but her and that company are not important anymore. What is important is that Whitfield James is obviously an intelligent man, and he knew that the hottest free agent in professional wrestling was EC3, so he offered me an ungodly sum of money to sign on the dotted line, and here I am.

Here I am, ready to make my presence felt, and what better way to make it than by becoming Championship Wrestling SPIKE World Heavyweight Champion. So in two weeks, I will grace you people with my impressive physique and make my in ring debut in a match where I will qualify for this Cibernetico, and then in just two matches go on to become champion. That Ladies and Gentleman, and I do use that term loosely, is how you make an....Impact."

EC3 casually tosses down the microphone, straightens his tie, and exits the ring to a rousing chorus of boo's from the crowd in attendance.


2) "The Machine" Brian Cage vs "The Villain" Marty Scurll (Cibernetico Qualifying Match)

It doesn't take long for Scurll to split the crowd with his antics. Between the prancing, the eye pokes, and the mannerisms, the "villain" is already in just one match a hot property in Championship Wrestling SPIKE. Cage was no push over, putting on one hell of a power showing including hitting Scurll with a triple powerbomb that had the crowd going nuts. Scurll worked over the arm of Cage the whole match, while Cage used his power as much as possible. The end came when Cage lifted Scurll up for a stalling suplex, but the work on the arm caused him not to be able to hold on. Scurll came quickly back down onto his feet and actually superkicked Cage in the shoulder before applying the Cross Face Chicken Wing in the center of the ring and dragging Cage to the mat. Cage couldn't reach the ropes, and had no choice but to tap out.

Winner: "The Villain" Marty Scurll


3) The Briscoe Brothers (Jay Briscoe/Mark Briscoe) vs The Kings of Flight (Matt Sydal/William O'Spreay)

Ricochet may have left the promotion and he may have left Matt Sydal without a partner, but tonight in twelve minutes, Will O'Spreay made sure that absolutely no one would care. Those who already knew were anticipating the debut, and those who didn't were about to be blown away. It was Sydal and Jay who started this one out and they went at it hard for several minutes. Jay tagged in Mark and Sydal tagged in O'Spreay and that's when this went from a wrestling match to some crazy shit out of the Matrix. I'm not even going to attempt to describe all of the action, but it ended with O'Spreay doing some actual Neo moves to avoid Redneck Kung Fu, and blasting Mark with a huge kick to the head. This match just went wild from there, with all four men going balls to the wall. The end came when O'Spreay went for a 'rana on Jay, which he converted into a Jay Driller and planted Will with. Mark tackled Sydal, and Jay covered O'Spreay for the One, Two, Three.

Winners: The Briscoe Brothers (Jay Briscoe/Mark Briscoe)


We cut backstage where we get quick words from Drew Galloway who says that next week when he meets Silas Young, he'll show him what a real man looks like, and then he'll beat him and take a spot in the Cibernetico and go on to become the CWS World Champion.


4) Adam Cole vs Dalton Castle - SPIKE Street Fight (Cibernetico Qualifying Match)

These two wasted no time, skipping the lock up and exchanging punches center ring to start the match off. They shockingly stayed in the ring for quite some time and while it certainly wasn't technical wrestling, it was relatively clean for a street fight. Adam Cole nearly scored the win with the Florida Key, but Castle was able to kick out, and he slid to the floor. That was when things got a little crazy as Adam Cole followed him out and shoved Castle into the post, and then into the guard rail, before dumping Castle into the front row. Cole turned his back and did his "Adam Cole Bay Bay" taunt, and when he turned back around he got blasted in the face with a fans replica title belt. Castle then stole the fans chair and came back over the guard rail. He smashed Cole in the back with the chair and tossed him back into the ring. Castle was on offense for several minutes, nearly scoring the fall with the Bang-A-Rang. Cole was able to escape to the floor after kicking out, and when Castle followed him, Cole kicked him hard in the groin and DDT'ed him. The brawl on the floor continued with both men being smashed into ringposts, guard rails, and the ring steps. The end of the match came when Cole wrestled the chair away from Castle, blasted him over the head with it, rolled him back in the ring and covered him for the One, Two, Three.

Winner: Adam Cole

Championship Wrestling SPIKE Season 2
Week 4

1) Adam Page vs William O'Spreay (Cibernetico Qualifying Match)

O'Spreay came out of the gate like a crazy man, flying all over the ring and keeping Page off balance, scoring several near falls in the process. The match looked to be over very early when O'Spreay connected with his Essex Destroyer and covered Page, but Adam managed to get his foot on the rope at the last possible moment, so much so that the fans in attendance jumped to their feet and were celebrating like it was over. The match became more back and forth after that, though O'Spreay continued to be in control most of the time. The end came when O'Spreay went into the ropes and Page bent over for a backdrop, O'Spreay used the momentum to turn it into a Canadian Destroyer, but Adam Page stopped the momentum dead half way through, and dropped O'Spreay with his Rite of Passage finishing maneuver. As the crowd gasped, Page covered a stunned O'Spreay for the One, Two, Three.

Winner: Adam Page


A vignette plays for "The Guv'nor" Martin Stone who will be making his Championship Wrestling SPIKE debut next week. The video is him with his fists taped up just beating on a heavy bag with sweat flying off of him. Finally he turns to the camera and smirks, before walking off screen.


2) Kyle O'Reilly vs Tracy Williams (Cibernetico Qualifying Match)

This was not the debut that Tracy Williams was hoping for, but after what happened to his partner, Kyle O'Reilly was not to be denied. Williams tried to initiate some grappling early on, but O'Reilly just began blasting away with kicks to the body and arms. Williams attempted to fight back, but O'Reilly was all over him like a rabid dog. Kyle worked over the arm unmercifully, and locked on ARMageddon until Williams had no choice but to tap out. O'Reilly spit out his mouth piece and looked into the camera saying "I'll see you in the cibernetico Kenny Omega."

Winner: Kyle O'Reilly


3) The Briscoe Brothers vs War Machine vs Double Dragon vs Best Friends - Elimination 4 Way (Winning Team Qualifies for Cibernetico)

Elimination #1: Best Friends had the upper hand on Lio Rush, when Chuck Taylor accidently hit Trent with a dropkick. Louis Lyndon was quickly in the ring and knocked Taylor out, while Lio Rush cradled a stunned Trent for the One, Two, Three.

Best Friends are Eliminated

As Best Friends were leaving the ring area, Trent grabbed Chuck Taylor by the hair and jerked him down backwards hard onto the floor. Trent then jumped on top of him and started raining down lefts and rights. Dan Barry and his security team were quickly out and drug Trent Baretta away as he was screaming "WE'RE NOT FRIENDS!!"

Elimination #2: In a shock elimination, Hanson had been beating on Jay Briscoe unmercifully. Hanson whipped Jay into the ropes, and Louis Lyndon blind tagged himseld in. Hanson nailed Jay with a big lariat, but never saw Lyndon come in the ring and dropkick him in the back of the knee. Hanson dropped to his knees, and Lyndon quickly locked him in a body scissors Dragon Sleeper in the center of the ring. Lio Rush entered the ring and hurled his 160lb frame at Ray Rowe on the apron and knocked him to the floor. Hanson tried everything in his power to reach the ropes, but just inches shy, he had to tap out.

War Machine are Eliminated.

Elimination #3: After an amazing ten minute war between The Briscoe's and Double Dragon that saw both teams come so close to winning numerous times, Jay Briscoe caught Lio Rush on a high flying attempt and planted him with a Death Valley Driver for the One, Two, Three. After it was over, all four men shook hands, and Jay Briscoe took the microphone and called Rush and Lyndon two of the toughest bastards he's ever been in the ring with, and said that he and Mark wanted to do this again in a regular tag match. All four men shook hands again as the crowd cheered.

Double Dragon are Eliminated.

JAY AND MARK BRISCOE QUALIFY FOR CIBERNETICO


We are taken backstage where Chris Hero is standing in front of the CWS banner. He quickly states that if Ethan Carter wants an Impact, next week Chris Hero's elbow will make one with his face.


4) Drew Galloway vs Silas Young (Cibernetico Qualifying Match)

These two took all of about two seconds to decide they didn't like one another. They started by talking shit in the center of the ring, then Silas slapped Drew in the mouth and told him that "Real Men Speak American." Drew responded with a punch that nearly Young's face off his head. From there things got violent as the two of them blasted each other with chops that had grown men in the front row wincing, punches that had spit flying, and an exchange of clotheslines that left both men laying in the center of the ring gasping for air. Things got slightly less slobberknockery after that for a little while as a wrestling match broke out in the middle of this fight. The beginning of the end came when both men attempted to throw Yakuza kicks at one another, and both managed to connect. Silas was knocked to the floor, and Drew was layed out in the ring. Drew recovered and made his way out to the floor, where Silas was waiting for him and jammed the end of a steel chair he found under the ring hard into the knee of Galloway out of the view of the referee. He then smashed the face of Galloway into the apron, rolled him back into the ring, and connected with the Pee Gee Waja Plunge to secure the One, Two, Three.

Winner: Silas Young

Silas quickly got the hell out of the ring and high tailed it to the back, as an irate Galloway limped around the ring and pled his case to the referee. The ref explained that he didn't see it, and ended up getting shoved on his ass by a very pissed off Galloway who limped to the back in pursuit of Young.

Whitfield James comes out onto the stage with the SPIKE TV Title Tumbler. Before he draws the opponent, he speaks to the crowd....

"Before I draw the opponent for Roderick Strong and the SPIKE Television Title, I would just like to tell everyone here tonight and everyone watching at home, that no matter what you do, after the ending of tonight's main event, do not change the channel, do not leave your seat and go home. I am going to make an announcement, and it is going to change the face of this company. This is not hyperbole, this is not bait and switch like you get elsewhere. This is a game changer. Now, let us draw an opponent.....


1) Roderick Strong w/So Cal Val vs Tracy Williams - {SPIKE Television Championship} <9th Defense> (Cibernetico Qualifying Match)

Tracy Williams came out with his shoulder heavily taped up from his match last week with Kyle O'Reilly. As soon as the bell rang, Roderick Strong came flying across the ring and blasted Williams with the Sick Kick, but instead of hitting him in the face, caught him in the shoulder. Strong wasted no time dragging him to his feet and dropping him back down with a single arm DDT. Strong then hooked on a Fujiwara Armbar, drawing the tap out from Williams.

Winner and Still SPIKE Television Champion: Roderick Strong


When the show comes back from commercial we are shown backstage where Ethan Carter is in his dressing room dressed in a warm up suit, wearing headphones, and jogging in place. We then cut to the dressing room of Chris Hero, who is throwing elbows into a set of pads being held by his friend Tommy End. Both men look ready for the main event.


2) Chuck Taylor vs Trent Baretta

After the events of last week, these two wasted no time in just laying into one another with punches. However, before the match really got going, Rocky Romero, who we last saw in CWS teaming with Trent as part of the initial Tag Team Title Tournament, hit the ring and clubbed Chuck Taylor in the back of the head. The referee immediately called for the Disqualification, but Trent and Rocky Romero tossed the referee out of the ring and went to work on Chuck Taylor. They first just went the old fashioned route of laying the boots to him, then they decided to plant him in the center of the ring with their Strong Zero tag team finisher. Before they could inflict any more damage, Dan Barry and his security team hit the ring. Romero actually slapped Dan Barry in the face, before Roppongi Vice was escorted out of the ring and to the back so that medical staff could check on Chuck Taylor.

Winner: Chuck Taylor (By Disqualification)


We cut back to the office of Whitfield James, where he makes a quick announcement that in addition to the Cibernetico, next weeks show will have a Twenty Man Over the Top Rope Battle Royal. He also mentions that he is aware that after the next two qualifying matches that the Cibernetico will only have fifteen participants. He smirks and reiterates that everyone should tune in after the main event.


3) "M-Dogg" Matt Cross vs "The Guv'nor" Martin Stone (Cibernetico Qualifying Match)

This thing started out looking like a showcase match for Martin Stone, but someone apparently forgot to tell Matt Cross. Stone dominated the opening minutes, just brutalizing Cross with European uppercuts, chops, and a ridiculous headbutt. He missed an enzuigiri attempt, and Cross capitalized, double stomping Stone hard in the guts, and then nearly knocking him out of his boots with a pump kick. The match became a back and forth after that, with both men having time in control. Stone's hard hitting style had Cross on the ropes multiple times, but M-Dogg continued fighting back and using his quickness to regain control. The end came when Stone sat Cross on the top rope for a superplex, Cross fought him off with a series of forearm shots that sent Stone falling to the canvas. Cross wasted no time, crashing down onto Stone with Death From Above, and covering him for the One, Two, Three.

Winner: Matt Cross

After the match Martin Stone extended his hand to Cross, who took it. The two men embraced, then Stone clotheslined Cross nearly out of his boots. The boo's rained down on "The Guv'nor" as he exited the arena.


4) Chris Hero vs Ethan Carter (Cibernetico Qualifying Match)

These two men immediately went to the center of the ring and stared one another down for nearly a full minute before making contact. It was EC3 who made first contact, slapping Hero in the face. Hero shook his head, laughed, and blasted Carter with an elbow that nearly knocked EC3 out. Hero dominated for several minutes after that, but Carter made a comeback after cutting Hero off with a spear. This went on to become a battle of Hero's strikes and Carter's power based offense, and seeing who could continue to get up. EC3 looked to have it in the bag after hitting the One Percenter, but Hero snuck a foot under the bottom rope. Hero's Cyclone Kill probably would have done the job had Carter not tumbled to the floor. The end finally came when Hero tore off his elbow pad, blasted Carter with the Death Blow, nailed him with a Yakuza kick, and then planted him with a piledriver. Hero collapsed exhausted on Carter who made no attempt to kick out.

Winner: Chris Hero


After the commerical break, Whitfield James comes down the ramp and enters the ring. He is handed a microphone by the ring announcer and begins...

"In the months leading up to the second season of Championship Wrestling Spike, mistakes were made by the people in charge of this company. Those mistakes ended up costing this company a lot of talent, and a lot of time, after the fine folks at World Wrestling Entertainment took advantage of those mistakes and signed away our World Champion and several other of our top talents. It was then decided by the idiots in charge of this company that our Season Two premiere should be postponed several months so that new talent could be signed, and a new direction could be decided upon. Two months went by, no progress had been made, and they were still arguing. It was then that they all found themselves unemployed, and I was brought in to set the ship back on course. A mere three weeks later, and I stood before you during the first episode of this season. When I first introduced myself to you on that night several weeks ago, I promised you that the actions of Stamford would not go unanswered. I am here tonight to show you that I keep my promises.

Right now WWE has quite possibly the most diverse and talented roster in the history of the company, and yet week in and week out, they insist on continuing to run with the same tired acts at the top of the program while the talents that you, the fans are practically begging for, continue to be saddled with stupidity and mired in obscurity. It would seem that since you, the people, forced the Billionaire's hand with the Yes Movement, he has grown to resent you, and will now just do what he and his merry band of Yes Men see fit, whether you like it or not. That is the reality of the situation in WWE, that show is made to entertain one man and one man only.

But rest assured it is not just you who grows frustrated with the stale product and the stagnancy of the roster. Those men who you are begging to see get an opportunity, are also chomping at the bit to get a chance to prove that they can hang at the top, that they can shatter the glass ceiling, that they can be the one to lead the business into it's next great period. Those men are also beginning to see that Championship Wrestling SPIKE isn't just another pretender trying to make an impact. But a place trying to provide a real alternative to the same garbage that has been being put out week after week, year after year for far too long. A place where Sports Entertainment can go to hell, and the words Professional Wrestling can be treated with the respect they deserve instead of being treated like a relic from a bygone era.

The crowd is beginning to buzz as a smile crosses the face of Whitfield James.

Let's talk about the Yes Movement for a moment. People forget that all he ever wanted was to be a professional wrestler. All he ever wanted to do was become the Heavyweight Champion of the World. He did that, and he did that against all the odds because the billionaire didn't think he had the look, didn't think he had the size, but YOU the crowd forced his hand because you would not be silenced.

The crowd is cheering the story of a man that is almost universally loved.

Then he got hurt. He got hurt and he did everything he could do to come back. He got himself cleared by every doctor, every expert all across this country said he was good to go. But one doctor, one doctor who happens to be employed by the billionaire said No Way. No way is he healthy enough to EVER wrestle in this company again. Makes you wonder if maybe the billionaire didn't want him to come back and upstage his son in law, his viper, and his guardian of the galaxy again.

A "Yes" chant has begun to ring out across the arena...

So what happened then? Then he was made the general manager of the B show so he could play second fiddle to the billionaire's idiot children. This is how that company treats a man who wanted nothing more his whole life than to be a professional wrestler, a man who sacrificed his health and his adult life to achieve his dream. This is how that company treats the man that you the fans designated as the man you wanted to see, because he wasn't the man they wanted you to see. Because like I said earlier, that company exists to enter one man, and he is an over the hill, out of touch billionaire.

A chorus of boo's rings out.

It just so happens Ladies and Gentleman that last week someone in Stamford was so busy worrying about whether or not the Billionaire would like the new fart joke they wrote for Raw, or fawn over the new weight lifter with the needle sticking out of his ass that they hired for NXT, that they failed to realize that the contract of one of the most talented men to ever grace the promotion had come due.....and they let it expire.

They let it expire....and he called me!

Ladies and Gentleman, Championship Wrestling SPIKE has no glass ceiling. We want men who have a dream, and we want to help them achieve it....or achieve it again as the case may be...

The crowd has gone silent as they try to decipher if Whitfield James is really saying what they think Whitfield James is saying...

So please allow me to introduce to you, the newest member of the Championship Wrestling SPIKE roster, and the 16th and final competitor in the Cibernetico, he is perfectly healthy and ready to go, Ladies and Gentleman.....

"The Final Countdown" by Europe erupts over the sound system in the arena.....

"THE AMERICAN DRAGON" BRYAN DANIELSON!!!

The crowd goes batshit crazy as the man formerly known as Daniel Bryan hits the stage. He pumps both arms repeatedly into the air, as the deafening roar of the crowd turns into repeated chants of YES, YES, YES. The show fades to black with a shot of Danielson and a smirking Whitfield James in the background.

The show comes back from commercial with Whitfield James standing in the center of the ring. He speaks only to say "Ladies and Gentleman, please welcome my very special guest, Nigel McGuiness." The London Bridge guitar riff plays, followed by "fing in the Bushes" by Oasis as Nigel McGuiness makes his way out to the ring dressed in a suit. He shakes hands with Whitfield James and then takes the microphone.

"Thank You Mr. James. Thank You Ladies and Gentleman for allowing me a moment to speak. My name is Nigel McGuiness, I am a former Ring of Honor World Champion and served as commissioner of that promotion for several years, some of you may remember me as Desmond Wolfe from my time spent trying to make an impact with another company that used to have a show on this channel. Several years ago when I was in the prime of my career, just as I was supposed to debut alongside Daniel Bryan in the WWE, the injuries that I suffered over my career forced me into early retirement. I took the office job with Ring of Honor, and last year when Championship Wrestling SPIKE purchased Ring of Honor, I figured my time in the wrestling business was over.

Then nine months ago I met a doctor who told me that he thought he could give me a chance to finish out the career that had been taken away from me. It was a new kind of surgery, and if it didn't work it would end any chance of me doing any athletic again, but since the wrestling business is all I ever wanted to do, I said what the hell. So I am here to say that the surgery worked, and while I am still working to get myself back into competitive shape, I felt it was time to announce my return to the wrestling world, to give me that final push and motivation to get myself to one hundred percent. After a discussion with my doctors, and with Mr. James, the timing for my return would seem to fall right around the time that Season Two of Championship Wrestling SPIKE will be coming to an end. So with that said, I would like to take this opportunity to throw my name in the hat as the first man to enter Luck of the Draw: Know Your Enemy Two!"

Nigel's music plays again as he waves too the crowd, and slaps hands on his way out of the arena.

1) Silas Young
2) Sami Callihan
3) Marty Scurll
4) Kyle O'Reilly
5) Chris Hero
6) Adam Page
7) Matt Cross
8) Tommy End

-Team 2 Batting Order-

1) Bryan Danielson
2) Roderick Strong
3) Mark Briscoe
4) Kenny Omega
5) Jay Briscoe
6) Drew Gulak
7) Timothy Thatcher
8) Adam Cole


Elimination #1: Bryan Danielson had Silas Young on the ropes several times, but Young managed to make the tag to Sami Callihan. Callihan stomped into the ring and slapped Bryan across the face. Danielson smiled, and sent Callihan sailing across the ring with a straight kick to the chest. Danielson bounced off the ropes and nailed a running forearm smash, followed by another huge kick. Bryan locked Callihan in a cross armbreaker, but Sami made the ropes. Danielson backed off and when Sami started to get up, blasted him with a running knee and got a 2.9 count. Danielson wasted no time in hooking Callihan in Cattle Mutilation, and Sami was forced to tap out.

At 31:19, Sami Callihan has been Eliminated.


Elimination #2: Danielson tagged out to Roderick Strong as Marty Scurll entered the ring. As he is prone to doing, Strong wasted zero time flying across the ring and obliterated Scurll with the Sick Kick before he even had time to get his bearings. Strong drug "The Villain" to the center of the ring and locked him in The Strong Hold. Marty tried to crawl hand over hand to the ropes, but Strong cranked it back as far as he could, and Scurll chose to live to fight another day, and tapped out.

At 33:02, Marty Scurll has been Eliminated.


Elimination #3: After an odd exchange where Adam Page and Kenny Omega exchanged a collar and elbow tie up for nearly a full minute, then leapfrogged each other a couple times, followed by Page tagging out. Matt Cross and Kenny Omega went at it back and forth pretty hard. The momentum shifted when Cross got sent hard into the buckle and then nearly got decapitated with a clothesline. Omega caught Cross with the V-Trigger, and scored a count of 2.99. Omega then went for the Tokyo Chainsaw Massacre, and followed it up with the One Winged Angel for the three count.

At 44:29, Matt Cross has been Eliminated.


Elimination #4: Something went wrong on this one, Drew Gulak whipped Silas Young into the ropes, and when he leapfrogged over him, he landed awkwardly on his ankle and looked immediately distressed. Silas apparently didn't see what happened as he rebounded off the ropes and hit Gulak with a lariat. He covered Drew and got the One, Two, Three. Young looked to Gulak and the referee and then quickly began to play to the crowd to cover the injury.

At 50:55, Drew Gulak has been Eliminated.


The show went to commercial at this point, and when it came back, the crowd was clapping for Drew Gulak as he was being walked out of the arena, a referee on each side of him, unable to put any weight on his ankle.


Elimination #5: In the shocker of the match, Kenny Omega who was still relatively fresh came in against Silas Young who has already taken one hell of a beating in this one. Omega used a back rake on Silas, and took a moment to play to the crowd, but Silas was having none of that shit and just plowed Omega with the Last Real Man Lariat, then cradled him for the three count. Adam Cole actually attempted to dive into the ring to save his team mate, which seemed odd under these circumstances, but he was just a little too late.

At 59:06, Kenny Omega has been Eliminated.


Elimination #6: Silas tagged out to Kyle O'Reilly as Jay Briscoe entered the ring. Kyle charged Jay who caught him with a huge release spinebuster that jarred O'Reilly. Jay bided his time until Kyle got back to his feet and blasted him with a Yakuza kick and covered for a near fall. Briscoe then lifted O'Reilly with a military press and converted it into a Death Valley Driver which was enough for the One, Two, Three.

At 61:14, Kyle O'Reilly has been Eliminated.


Elimination #7: Jay Briscoe spent the next two minutes proving what a tough bastard he is, as Chris Hero hit the ring and unloaded an arsenal of strikes on him that would have killed normal men. An Electric Chair Elbow strike looked to have sealed the deal, but Briscoe somehow managed to get his foot on the ropes at the absolute last possible second. Hero pulled him to the center of the ring, blasted him with a ripcord elbow strike, then plowed him over with the Deathblow, before covering him for the fall.

At 63:48, Jay Briscoe has been Eliminated.


Elimination #8: Timothy Thatcher came into the ring and got caught with a Chris Hero forearm strike to the face that he took with a smile. He then returned the favor by hitting a headbutt that collapsed Hero to the canvas and sent a gasp across the audience. Thatcher took the briefest of moments and did something he normally never does, and smiled at the reaction he received. He then grabbed the legs of Chris Hero to begin applying his submission game, but that brief second cost him as Hero reached up and rolled him into a cradle. Hero cinched down before the shocked Thatcher had time to react, and the referee counted One, Two, Three.

At 64:30, Timothy Thatcher has been Eliminated.


Elimination #9: Hero quickly tags out to Adam Page as Adam Cole enters the ring. Cole smiles at Page, turns around and tags Bryan Danielson. Bryan comes in and Page charges him with a clothesline. Bryan ducks it, and nails a rebounding Page with a European uppercut. A snap tiger suplex leaves Adam Page stunned, and when Bryan hooks him and drops about eleven unanswered elbows into the side of Page's neck and head the referee calls for the bell ruling him unable to continue.

At 66:01, Adam Page has been Eliminated.


Elimination #10: After Tommy End and Bryan Danielson have a war that leaves both men exhausted, Danielson makes a tag to Roderick Strong who rushes into the ring in an attempt to take advantage of a tired Tommy End. It fails spectacularly as End fires off a kick that send Roderick for a full flip and leaves him crumpled on the mat. End rolls him over and covers him for the fall.

At 72:37, Roderick Strong has been Eliminated.


Elimination #11: Having seen what he just saw, Mark Briscoe hit the ring and thought that trying his Redneck Kung Fu with Tommy End was a good idea. It would prove to be a very bad idea. Mark hit his series of chops, but when he went into the crane kick pose, End unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks that were coming so far Briscoe probably thought he was being double teamed. A flying knee strike ended the beatdown, and the top rope Death Stomp was thrown in for good measure. Mr. Briscoe was absolutely not getting up.

At 75:00, Mark Briscoe has been Eliminated.


Elimination #12: Silas Young blasted Bryan Danielson with the Last Real Man Lariat and covered him for the One, Two, Thr...KICKOUT!! Silas was in shock, but pulled Danielson back to his feet. Bryan blocked several punches from Young and kicked him hard in the gut. Bryan grabbed him for a suplex, but Young was able to shove Danielson backwards into the referee. Young took that moment and uppercutted Danielson in the groin. Silas then swept his legs, and rolled into a jacknife cradle. The referee recovered and counted the fall.

At 81:21, Bryan Danielson has been Eliminated.


Elimination #13: Adam Cole jumped on Chris Hero as soon as Silas tagged him in. Cole managed to gain a near fall after a grounded superkick to the back of the head. However, Cole had taken a lot of punishment over the course of this match, and a well placed Hero Yakuza kick left Cole wobbly on his feet. The Deathblow sent him in a heap to the mat, and the tank was empty. One, Two, Three and Team 2 was gone.

At 83:56, Adam Cole has been Eliminated.


Elimination #14: After several minutes of fighting between Hero and End, Hero made the tag to Silas Young who charged into the ring and blasted Tommy End with his Last Real Man Lariat. He then drug him to the corner and nailed the Pee Gee Waja Plunge. Young covered End for the One, Two, Thre..KICK OUT. Silas was stunned, but wasted no time dragging End back to the center of the ring and applying the Stock Lock. Tommy fought to get out of the hold, but could not and had to tap.

At 88:40, Tommy End has been Eliminated.


Elimination #15: A weary Hero entered the ring and the final two stared one another down. Instead of a lock up, this started with a slugfest. Hero was getting the better of the exchange, when Silas attempted to kick him in the balls. Hero caught his foot and rocked him with one of the loudest left hands the wrestling business has probably ever heard. Hero whipped Silas into the ropes and uncorked a roaring elbow strike, but at the same time Silas put everything he had left into one final Last Real Man Lariat. Both moves partially connected and the two men went down in a heap, both too exhausted to move, one of them slightly on top of the other. The referee counted One, Two, Three.

At 91:22, Chris Hero has been Eliminated.


THE WINNER OF CIBERNETICO, AND NEWWWW CWS WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION: "THE LAST REAL MAN" SILAS YOUNG!!!!


The show goes off the air as Silas Young sits in the center of the ring, breathing heavily, cradling his newly won title belt, and an exhausted Chris Hero looks on from the floor.

911Wrestling.com Report
Championship Wrestling SPIKE Season 2
Week 7

The SPIKE Television Title tumbler is rolled onto the stage, and Whitfield James follows it out. He gives it a quick spin before drawing the challenger.

1) Roderick Strong w/So Cal Val vs Chuck Taylor - {SPIKE Television Championship} <10th Defense>

Strong didn't start this one at his usual break neck pace, instead choosing to go with the collar and elbow. He quickly powered Taylor into the corner and laid into him with blistering chops. Strong then whipped Taylor across the ring and charged in with another big chop. Strong sent Taylor back across the ring and charged in again, but Taylor got a boot up. Chuckie T got fired up and took Strong down with a back elbow, before laying in what must have been about two dozen stomps. Taylor pulled Strong off the canvas and caught him with a beautiful dropkick, then locked in a single leg crab. Strong managed to make the ropes as the crowd began to look toward the aisle. Taylor pulled Strong to his feet and nailed him with the Sole Food. He went for the cover, just as Rocky Romero jumped onto the ring apron and got the attention of the referee. Trent slid into the ring on the other side and nailed Chuck with a running knee to the head as he was getting up to confront Romero. Trent quickly tossed Strong on top of Taylor, and high tailed it out of the ring. Romero dropped off the apron, and the referee turned around to see Roderick Strong making the cover. One, Two, Three.

Winner and Still SPIKE Television Champion: Roderick Strong


Roderick rolled out of the ring, and was quickly walked away from ringside by Val who had already grabbed the title from the time keeper. Roppongi Vice was quickly in the ring and swarmed Chuck Taylor, laying the boots to him, and then drilling him into the mat with the Strong Zero. Dan Barry and his security team rushed down to ringside and pulled Romero and Trent away from the fallen Taylor so that medical staff could check on him. Romero managed to break free from security, but instead of attacking Taylor again, chose to clothesline Head of Security Dan Barry in the back of the head. Security again swarmed Romero, and both members of Roppongi Vice were taken bodily from ringside.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2) Ethan Carter vs Matt Cross

Ethan Carter marches straight to the ring announcer and he grabs the microphone from his hands. Carter walks to the center of the ring and unzips his jacket to show off his impressive physique, and then raises the microphone to his lips. As he begins to speak, the arena lights go black...

When they come back on EC3 is surrounded by Adam Cole, Matt Jackson, Kenny Omega, Nick Jackson, and Adam Page...and they are all wearing Bullet Club t-shirts!

EC3 becomes the first person in the history of wrestling to eat five superkicks at once, and he collapses in a heap. Adam Page quickly slides out of the ring, shoves the timekeeper out of his chair and tosses the folding chair into the ring. Adam Cole positions it as Kenny Omega helps Matt Jackson get EC3 in position for a tombstone piledriver over top the chair. Nick Jackson springs in from the apron, and EC3 is planted head first into the chair with the Meltzer Driver.

Adam Cole grabs the mic that Carter dropped and yells out "BULLET CLUB IS BACK BAYBAY!!!"

While EC3 was being annihilated, Adam Page and Kenny Omega grabbed hold of Matt Cross before he could get out of the ring. The two of them laid quite the beating on M-Dogg, and then when the Young Bucks were available, Cross suffered the same fate, an Indytaker onto a steel chair.

The five members of Bullet Club exit the ring as medical runs down to tend to the fallen EC3 and Matt Cross as the show heads to commercial.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As we return from commercial break we are taken to the office of a rather annoyed looking Whitfield James. He looks up from his desk at someone approaching.

"How can I help you Mr. Hero."

"I know you are busy, especially with what just happened, but after last week, I want my shot. I'm cashing in the Golden Ticket."

Mr. James eyes Hero momentarily before nodding his head and speaking..

"You've got your shot Chris. Next week, you and Silas Young, for the CWS World Heavyweight Title. Good luck.

Hero lays the Golden Ticket on the desk of Mr. James, the two briefly shake hands, and Hero exits the office.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


3) Drew Galloway vs Martin Stone

Well, this was insane! As soon as the bell rang, you could tell that Galloway was looking past Stone, but that all changed when Stone absolutely destroyed him with a headbutt in the opening seconds and nearly scored the pinfall. After that, this more resembled a bar fight than a wrestling match as these two spent as much time brawling on the floor as they did in the ring. Both guys tasted guard rail and ringpost, as the referee obviously decided to play it a bit loose on the rules. By the time this ended, Stone was bleeding from the nose and Galloway had a cut above his eye. The end came after yet another brawl on the floor that saw Galloway slam Stone headfirst into the timekeepers table, then drag him onto the ring apron where he hit him with a huge slam. Once they were back in the ring, the Scot Drop spelled the end.

Winner: Drew Galloway

As the crowd wildly applauded the battle they just saw, Galloway pulled Stone to his feet and extended his hand. Martin shook it, and the crowd went nuts.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4) The Young Bucks (Matt/Nick Jackson) vs War Machine (Hanson/Rowe) {CWS World Tag Team Championship}

The bell had just been rung when Adam Cole, Adam Page, and Kenny Omega hit the ring wielding chairs and just began blasting Hanson and Rowe over and over again. Matt and Nick sat back and watched with huge smiles on their faces as the beating continued. Once the three men were satisfied that Rowe and Hanson were beaten down, Page and Omega handed the chairs to Adam Cole, and then both scooped Hanson and Rowe into position for tombstone piledrivers. Adam Cole quickly slid the chairs underneath the heads of Hanson and Rowe as The Young Bucks headed out to the ring apron. Moments later both members of War Machine were sent crashing head first into the chairs, each a victim of the Indytaker. The Bullet Club assumed a pose over the bodies of the fallen War Machine as the bell was ringing like crazy.

Winner: War Machine (by Disqualification)


Referees, a ton of security, and the medical team all began to rush toward the ring as Whitfield James hit the stage a microphone in his hand.

"Young Bucks, you may have gotten away with this nonsense under the supervision of Shane Douglas, but I will be damned if this is going to happen on my watch. As much as I would like to suspend all of you, I already have Cole, Omega, and Page set for a match next week. But I have no need of The Young Bucks on next weeks show, so Matt, Nick, the two of you can sit at home and watch, and if you are anywhere near the arena, I will strip you of the titles, and I will terminate your contracts.

However, the week after, we will be having a VERY special Championship Wrestling SPIKE, where we will run not just one, but two nights, and on those two nights we will have a Sixteen Team Tag Team Tournament, with teams currently under contract, and some teams from outside of the company looking for an opportunity to becomes members of our roster. Originally it was going to be a number one contenders tournament, but after this little stunt tonight, The Young Bucks will be entering the tournament, and they WILL be defending the CWS World Tag Team Titles in EVERY MATCH THEY COMPETE IN!!

The Bucks absolutely lose their minds in the ring as the rest of the Bullet Club yell about how unfair it is.

"Cole, Page, Omega...if any of you show up to my tag team tournament.... I will immediately Disqualify The Young Bucks from the tournament, they will forfeit the titles, and I will fire whichever one of you steps foot in my arena.....

Now the whole Bullet Club is fuming, kicking the ropes, and loudly complaining.

"That just leaves me with what to do about a main event for tonight's show. I figure since the five of you are already in the ring, we can just have ourselves a traditional Survivor match. I'm sure I have a few guys in the back who would love to get a shot at you five.

The show goes to commercial with medical finishing loading Hanson onto a stretcher and helping Ray Rowe to the back, the Bullet Club standing angrily in the ring, and Whitfield James walking to the back with a look of total annoyance on his face.

5) Adam Cole, Kenny Omega, Adam Page, Nick Jackon, Matt Jackson vs Kyle O'Reilly, Tommy End, Dalton Castle, Jay Briscoe, Mark Briscoe - Survivor Elimination Match

Elimination #1 and #2: This thing was wild and hard to control from the opening bell. More than once all ten men broke out into a wild brawl, and the referee finally had enough while Dalton Castle and Adam Page were the legal men and called for the bell. The two of them were brawling on the floor when it happened, and they were both Disqualified.

Adam Page and Dalton Castle are Eliminated at 5:09.

Elimination #3: The Young Bucks nailed Mark Briscoe with a double superkick, and Matt hit a springboard moonsault that netted him the One, Two, Three.

Mark Briscoe has been Eliminated at 9:16.

Elimination #4: Kyle O'Reilly hits the ring and just smashes Matt Jackson with elbow strikes to the face and fires a series of kicks into his arm that has the whole arena cringing. He slaps on ARMageddon in the center of the ring, and Matt Jackson has zero choice but to tap out.

Matt Jackson has been Eliminated at 10:21.

Elimination #5: Kenny Omega and Jay Briscoe went to war for several minutes, but it was Omega who got the best of the situation and the V-Trigger spelled the end of the night for Jay Briscoe.

Jay Briscoe has been Eliminated at 16:48.

Elimination #6: Kyle O'Reilly continued trying to get Kenny Omega in the ring, but Omega continued to stay out. His reluctance only served to anger Kyle who viciously struck Adam Cole with kick after kick, then slapped on ARMageddon and forced Cole to tap.

Adam Cole has been Eliminated at 23:02.

Elimination #7: Nick Jackson had Tommy End on the ropes, flying all over the place, using his speed to keep End disoriented. That all came to a screeching halt when Jackson went for a moonsault off the second turnbuckle, and Tommy End fired off a kick that caught Jackson square in the upper chest when he was upside down. Nick crashed to the mat, and End covered him for the One, Two, Three.

Nick Jackon has been Eliminated at 28:18.

Elimination #8: Tommy End tagged in Kyle O'Reilly who was ready to tear Kenny Omega to pieces. Omega shook his head, dropped off the apron, and jogged to the back for the count out.

Kenny Omega has been Eliminated at 29:00.


TOMMY END AND KYLE O'REILLY ARE THE SURVIVORS

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are once again taken to the office of Whitfield James. Roderick Strong and So Cal Val walk in without knocking and Val immediately starts talking...

So tonight was Roderick's tenth title defense. According to the TV Title rules, that entitles us to a Twenty Thousand Dollar bonus!!

An obviously exhausted Whitfield James stares annoyed at the pair before quickly scrawling out a check and handing it to Val. James turns his attention to Roderick and speaks.

Congratulations on ten title defenses Mr. Strong. But we both know that your win tonight was tainted at best. I would also assume that you heard about the tag team tournament that I have set up for two weeks from tonight when you would normally make your next scheduled title defense. So since you got away with a less than honorable victory tonight, and the show in two weeks is full, you can plan on defending again next week....and in the future, please knock before entering my office. You can see yourselves out....

Whitfield goes back to the paperwork on his desk as Strong and Val look at one another in disbelief as the show goes off the air.

911Wrestling.com Report
Championship Wrestling SPIKE Season 2
Week 8

Whitfield James appears on the stage alongside the SPIKE TV Title tumbler and pulls the name of tonight's challenger for the championship. With that, we have our opening contest.


1) Roderick Strong w/So Cal Val vs Louis Lyndon - {SPIKE Television Championship} <11th Defense>

Not much of a contest tonight as Roderick Strong took less than four minutes to dispatch the challenger. Lyndon fired off a karate chop to open the contest, and it looked to offend the champ, who in turn chopped Lyndon repeatedly making the crowd cringe. Roderick then went to work with suplexes and backbreakers, before locking in the Strong Hold and forcing Lyndon to tap out.

Winner and Still SPIKE Television Champion: Roderick Strong

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whitfield James again appears on the stage, and produces a microphone.

"Ladies and Gentleman, the following match will be a fifteen man over the top rope battle royal. The winner of which will be the first of four men to qualify for the upcoming event that will take place four weeks from tonight on a special extended Championship Wrestling Spike. While I am not quite ready to release the details of what that event will be, we shall say that every man on the roster will want the opportunity to be a part of it. Now, let the battle royal begin."

Elimination #1: Zack Sabre Jr stood no chance against the combined Cole/Omega/Page trio, as they beat him down and tossed him out.

Elimination #2: Trent Baretta and Rocky Romero stormed the ring and attacked Chuck Taylor from behind. They tossed him over the top rope eliminating him from the match.

They continued the assault on the floor, when Head of Security Dan Barry came charging down the aisle with a steel chair and ran both of them off. He chased the members of Roppongi Vice up the aisle and into the back.

Elimination #3: Sami Callihan stalked his prey and when Martin Stone turned away from beating on Tommy End, Callihan blasted him with a Yakuza kick and bundled him out to the floor.

Elimination #4: It was then Sami Callihan who got caught from behind as Bryan Danielson blasted him with a huge forearm strike when he turned around, then double legged him over the top to the floor.

Elimination #5: The Bullet Club was trying the triple team on Drew Galloway, but Kyle O'Reilly had his sites set on one man, and a disgusting kick to the back of the head sent Kenny Omega out of the ring and the match.

Elimination #6: Donovan Dijak had yet to score an elimination, but was a dominant force in the ring until the shocking power of Dalton Castle took hold of him, and deposited him backwards out of the ring and onto the floor.

Elimination #7/Elimination #8: Bryan Danielson and Adam Cole were locked up next to the ropes grappling for dominance when Drew Galloway reached down and grabbed the legs of both men sending them tumbling to the floor.

Elimination #9: Six men saw Drew Galloway towering over them and all swarmed him at once. The big Scot fought like hell, but it just wasn't enough, and he was eliminated.

Elimination #13: Tommy End blasted Adam Page with a big kick, Kyle O'Reilly charged End and got backdropped to the floor for his trouble.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We cut to the office of Whitfield James where we see Head of Security Dan Barry leaving his office.

"You're sure about this?"

Dan Barry turns around and nods his head.

"I appreciate everything you've done. Your request is granted."

Barry walks out of the office, and we see James slide a piece of paper marked "Notice of Resignation" to the corner of his desk.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3) Silas Young vs Chris Hero {CWS World Heavyweight Championship}

Fall #1: Silas wasted no time pissing Chris Hero off by spitting at his hand when Hero offered the handshake. Hero immediately fired a right hand that looked to have knocked Young unconscious, but Silas managed to kick out a two. From there this thing just went absolutely nuts, for twenty six minute these two blasted one another with everything in their respective arsenals. Hero absorbed Last Real Man Lariat after Last Real Man Lariat. He kicked out of the Pee Gee Waja Plunge. Young ate elbow after elbow, he survived the Cyclone Kill twice. He was able to reach the ropes after taking the Death Blow. The Stock Lock and the Stretch Plun were applied by each man, and both survived. The end finally came when Silas ducked under the Cyclone Kill and hit a fourth Last Real Man Lariat. He then climbed exhaustively to the top turnbuckle and nailed the Pee Gee Waja Plunge one more time. Hero had nothing left with which to kick out.

Winner of Fall #1: Silas Young


Fall #2: Both men were utterly spent as the bell rang. They circled one another in the center of the ring, and Hero lashed out with a left hand that Silas ducked. Silas leapt over the hip of Hero and rolled him up for the count of two. Hero was quickly back to his feet, but Young threw everything he had left into a Last Real Man Lariat that rocked Hero. Silas exhaustively dropped onto Hero for the One, Two, Thr....KICKOUT!! Silas pounded the mat in frustration, and used the ropes to get back to his feet. Hero stayed on the mat, and made Young drag him up, he then blasted Silas with a forearm smash. Silas staggered back and bumped into the referee. Hero charged forward, and Young lashed out with a hard kick to the groin. Hero collapsed to the mat, Young fell on top of him, and while the referee needed a moment, he was able to recover and count the tainted pinfall.

Winner of Fall #2, AND STILL CWS WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION: SILAS YOUNG
