USA WRESTLING PRESENTS…October 20, 2017The third episode of Legacy starts with JR and Jerry Lawler introducing the show, closely followed by Shinsuke Nakamura making his debut. Nakamura comes to the ring after an elaborate entrance, prepared to talk. Instead, Dolph Ziggler’s theme hits, as he comes out, making his USA-W debut. Ziggler feels that he wasn’t respected in WLR, and that his spotlight was being stolen by inferior wrestlers. He says he was never given a chance in WLR, and says he’s not going to let that happen in USA-W. Ziggler says he’ll steal the spotlight from others, for himself. Ziggler goes to continue, but Nakamura puts his finger up in front of Ziggler’s face, to silence him. Ziggler is clearly pissed, as Nakamura tells Ziggler that the spotlight is his, and if he wants it, he’ll have to earn it. Ziggler laughs, as Shane McMahon’s theme hits, and he comes out onto the stage. Shane says that both men will get their spotlight tonight. He announces tonight’s main event, as Shinsuke Nakamura will take on Drew McIntyre! The fans cheer for this, as Ziggler demands they shut up and demands to know his match. Shane tells Ziggler that he is competing right now, against someone he’s decided to give a second chance to earn a Championship match on Sunday. Zack Ryder makes his entrance, as Ziggler laughs, declaring he’ll have an easy match. Dolph Ziggler vs. Zack Ryder-Ryder comes out of the gates hot, not looking to squander his second chance. -Ziggler unexpectedly has to fight back, having expected a quick win. -Zack Ryder is able to hit the Rough Ryder on Ziggler, but he rolls out of the ring, as Ryder is not happy with this. -Ryder chases Ziggler out of the ring to roll him back in, then follows him in. -Ziggler quickly hits Ryder with a Superkick, and fights his way back. -Dolph Ziggler def. Zack Ryder via pinfall after a Zig Zag.
Ziggler stands up over Ryder, mocking him, before yelling out that Shinsuke Nakamura doesn’t deserve his spotlight. Cathy Kelly interviews Baron Corbin, as she asks if he thinks he should be competing for the USA-W Championship. Corbin says he better be, saying that he beat Chris Adonis so badly two weeks ago, that he ran away from USA-W. Corbin says that if he’s not in a title match, he’ll take it up personally with Shane McMahon. Samoa Joe is shown backstage, as he he says that he never liked Bobby Roode, and says that he showed just why he should be the USA-W Champion come Sunday. He says that he’s the most dominant force in wrestling today, and says that he used Bobby Roode as a pawn in his game. Joe says Roode is not worthy of being on his level, and he proved that last week. Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel come down to the ring, as they say they’re tired of waiting, and want to know who their opponents are on Sunday. They demand Shane McMahon come to the ring and answer them, but he does not appear. Getting angry, they say they won’t let the show continue until he comes. Shane McMahon’s theme hits, and he comes out on the stage, and he says that there has been no decision as to who they will be facing. He says he needs to decide the tag team title match first, and says there is a tag team match later, saying that that match will go a long way to deciding both the tag title match, as well as Bo and Axel’s match. Bo and Axel don’t care, as they want to know now. Shane threatens to fire them if they don’t leave the ring, as Bo and Axel quickly become apologetic, and leave the ring. Damien Sandow vs. Lince Dorado-Sandow quickly gets the upperhand, using his strength advantage. -Dorado tries to fight back, but Sandow doesn’t allow him. -Damien Sandow def. Since Dorado via pinfall after the Terminus.
Sandow grabs a mic after the match and says the Age of Enlightenment has begun, and that soon, he will rise back to the top. Daniel Bryan is shown in the locker rooms, as Seth Rollins confronts him. Rollins says he hopes that both he and Bryan are in the USA-W Championship match at Brutality. Bryan says he does too, because he wants a competitive match, but wants to put Rollins in his place. Rollins laughs, as he says he just wants to put Bryan back on the shelf, permanently. Bryan just smiles and shakes his head, saying Rollins hasn’t changed. Bryan says that if they face each other at Brutality, he will come put on top. Rollins says it’ll never happen, and all it’ll take is one Curb Stomp to end Bryan’s career. Rusev and Lana are shown backstage, as Lana chastises Angle for thinking that he has a shot at defeating Rusev. She says Rusev is a Super Athlete, and that he had hoped for a chance to take the USA-W Championship. She says, however, that he welcomes the opportunity to take on a representative of America, and show Bulgaria’s superiority. Lana announces that Rusev has accepted Kurt Angle’s challenge, and says that he will CRUSH Angle. Cathy Kelly interviews Sami Zayn, asking him about his upcoming match against James Ellsworth at Brutality. Sami says that Ellsworth is just a nobody with a huge ego. Sami says he beat Ellsworth two weeks ago, even if it wasn’t a sanctioned match, and says that come Brutality, he’ll beat him again, with no issues. Sami says Ellsworth will regret ever accepting a match against him. Bram vs. Tye Dillinger-Bram and Tye keep things close, each using their respective strengths to take the advantage back. -Tye takes the advantage, as he wears Bram down with his speed, and is able to hit a Tye Breaker. -Bram gets his foot on the rope at 2, as Tye looks to hit another Tye Breaker. -Bram turns things around, and he uses his strength to overpower Tye. -Bram looks for The Brighter Side of Suffering, but Tye counters and hits the Tye Breaker again. -Tye Dillinger def. Bram via pinfall after a Tye Breaker. Bray Wyatt is backstage, as he continues talking about the mission that the Devil has given him, and says that he will soon rule the World. Wyatt says one target will allow everything to fall in place. Wyatt then warns his target to run. Tyler Breeze and Fandango star in a new edition of the Fashion Files! This week, Tyler Breeze is checking up on the Next Big Case, and isn’t happy with the lack of progress. Fandango shows up, and Breeze hangs up his phone (which turns out to be a toy.) Fandango asks Breeze if he’s ready for field work. Breeze says he thinks he is, and they go through a checklist, which includes a squirt gun, handcuffs, and knowledge of the Fashion Rights. Breeze asks for a reminder on the fashion rights, and Fandango says them aloud. “You have the right to remain stylish. Anything you wear can and will be held against you in a court of fashion. You have the right to a stylist. If you cannot afford a stylist, you will forever be fashion impaired.” Breeze says he’s got them down, and says he’s ready for field work. They holster their squirt guns, and head out to the field. The Revival vs. Breezango-Throughout the match, Breezango attempt to arrest The Revival and read them their fashion rights. -Breezango claim that they are “resisting arrest” and pull out their squirt guns. The ref takes them away, and Breezango claim he doesn’t have the right to do so. -The Revival get pissed with their antics, and quickly end the match. -The Revival def. Breezango via pinfall after Scott Dawson pins Tyler Breeze after a Shatter Machine.
The Revival celebrate their win by throwing up the Too Sweet sign, and laughing, clearly mocking The Bullet Club. They then leave the ring, still mocking the Bullet Club with the Too Sweet. Kurt Angle is backstage, as he says he’s glad to see that Rusev isn’t the coward he thought he was, and says that he’s looking forward to a great match at Brutality. Angle says he will defend America until the day he dies, saying that nothing Rusev can do will cause his love for the USA to waver. John Cena comes down to the ring, after not appearing last week. Cena says that he’s spent two weeks thinking about where his career should go next. He then announces that the one thing that turned his career back towards the top was the John Cena US Open Challenge. He says many a competitor got the chance to face THE guy in wrestling and make a name for themselves and become a champion in the process. He says the John Cena US Open Challenge hasn’t appeared in some time, as he had not been the United States Champion. He then says, however, that in USA-W, the John Cena US Open Challenge is back! He says that USA-W is the perfect place to bring this back, and says that the first Open Challenge will take place this Sunday at Brutality! Cena says anyone in the back will be able to make a name for themselves against a 16 time World Champion! Cena then says he’s looking forward to who will step up the the challenge. Shane McMahon is shown in his office backstage, as Bobby Roode enters. He says he is still as heated over what happened last week now as he was when it happened. He says he wants some revenge on Samoa Joe. Shane says that, because of the result of the match last week, both men were open for Brutality. Roode says he wants to get his hands on Joe on Sunday, and Shane grants him the match. Shane then says that, in order to make it a fair fight, it will be Samoa Joe vs Bobby Roode in a No Holds Barred match! Roode is happy with this, as he thanks Shane, and leaves. Rusev w/ Lana vs. Simon Gotch w/ Aiden English-Rusev controls from start to finish, as he looks to make a statement to Angle. -Rusev def. Simon Gotch via Submission with The Accolade
Rusev keeps The Accolade in, as Aiden English rushes the ring. Rusev catches his with a Savate Kick, then locks The Accolade in on English. Lana enters the ring and tells Rusev to let go. Rusev stands and yells out, as Lana says that their message has been sent. A vignette airs, hyping the debut of Shelton Benjamin next week. Cathy Kelly interviews the Lucha Dragons, asking them about the tag team titles. They say that they would love the opportunity to become the tag team champions on Sunday. They then say that they should they not be competing for the tag team titles, they would also love the opportunity to get their revenge on Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel. They say that, either way, they like their chances of being the tag team champions by the end of Olympus. Drew McIntyre is backstage, as he says that he respects completely Shinsuke Nakamura, but says that he has to use Nakamura as a stepping stone tonight, to become the USA-W World Champion. He says that Nakamura is possibly the biggest challenge he’s faced, but says that he’s ready for the challenge. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Drew McIntyre-Nakamura and McIntyre test each other out, with neither able to take the advantage. -McIntyre takes control of the match, as he’s able to wear Nakamura out with a series of submissions. -Nakamura fights back, taking control of the match. -Nakamura sets up a Kinshasa, but Dolph Ziggler comes out from the crowd and attacks Nakamura. -Drew McIntyre def. Shinsuke Nakamura via Disqualification after interference from Dolph Ziggler.
Ziggler continues his attack on Nakamura, beating him down, before hitting him with a Superkick, and following it up with a Zig Zag. Ziggler leaves a beaten down Nakamura in the ring. Shane McMahon’s theme hits, and he comes down to the ring, with a mic in hand. He says it’s time to announce the title matches for Sunday, as well as a few other matches. He first focuses on the tag team division, as he announces that The Revival and American Alpha will compete to be the tag team champions, while the Lucha Dragons will be the ones battling Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel for the right to be the #1 Contenders at Olympus. He then announces that, after tonight’s events, Shinsuke Nakamura and Dolph Ziggler will face each other on Sunday. Shane runs down the other matches on the card that have already been made official: Samoa Joe vs. Bobby Roode in a No Holds Barred match, Sami Zayn vs. James Ellsworth, and the John Cena US Open Challenge. Finally, he turns his attention to the USA-W Patriot Championship and the USA-W World Championship, as he says the four men competing in these two title matches were tough to decide. He first announces the participants in the USA-W Patriot Championship match. First is Jack Swagger, who was able to decisively win the first match in USA-W history, defeating Bram. He then says that Swagger’s opponent will be Wade Barrett, who was able to defeat Sami Zayn last week in less than 20 seconds. He says these two earned their right, and wishes them luck. Finally, he announces the two men who will be competing for the USA-W Championship. Before he can make his announcement, Seth Rollins makes his way to the ring, and he says he wanted a front row seat to this. Shane then says that it was another tough decision, but says that he has decided that Seth Rollins will be in the USA-W Championship match, saying that Bray Wyatt is no easy challenge, and defeating him is a huge win. Rollins smiles, saying Shane made the best decision he could have. Shane then announces that Rollins’ opponent at Brutality will be none other than Daniel Bryan, who was at the top of the list to compete in this match, saying that defeating John Cena in your first match in 2 years is grounds enough to earn a Championship match. Bryan comes out to the ring with a mic, and thanks Shane for the opportunity, and says that come Brutality, he will be the USA-W Champion. The fans start a “YES!” chant, that Bryan joins in on, as Rollins gets in his face, and their stare down ends the show. Full Brutality Match CardUSA-W World Championship Seth Rollins vs. Daniel Bryan

- ESCAPE (THE PINA COLADA SONG) - Joey Ryan || WGPX.PD [[Joey Ryan makes his way from the back, quickly strutting to the ring, shaking his head. He quickly enters the ring, pacing back and forth, shaking his head as he takes a microphone from Melissa Santos.]]
Joey Ryan || WGPX.PD “I’ve already cracked the case! I know who attacked Matt Sydal!” [[The fans begin to chant ‘Who?’ as if they would for The New Day.]] “No – not The New Day, see – the man who attacked Matt Sydal was much larger! See, Brock Lesnar,” [[The fans cheer with the mention of The Beast.]] “Brock Lesnar knew that cops all around P.O.W are investigating him, so what did Lesnar do? He came to WGPX and he attacked the first man he laid his eyes on, now that just so happened to be my opponent, Matt Sydal.” [[The fans boo as Joey Ryan lets off a laugh.]] “So, that brings me to, who am I going to face tonight? I mean – like I said, the case is closed – Matt Sydal is in no condition to compete. So, I want answers.”
[[Joey Ryan lowers the microphone, climbing the turnbuckle to lay between the ropes, crossing his legs to wait for our General Manager. Instead, Ryan gets a new face.]]
- WILL TRAVEL - Chuck Taylor [[The fans cheer as Chuck Taylor emerges from the back with a smile on his face. The WGPX Fans begin to chant his name as Taylor slowly walks down the ramp, speaking as he does.]]
Chuck Taylor “You know Joey, we’ve had our tassels in the past but I never believed that you’d sink so low in attacking your own opponent.” [[The fans boo Joey Ryan.]] “If you ask me Joey, you’re the one who attacked Matt Sydal because just like me, everybody knows that you couldn’t beat him, even if he was leaving.” [[Taylor shakes his head grinning.]] “You took out Matt Sydal because-”
Joey Ryan || WGPX.PD “Chuck, Chuck, buddy, listen. You’re new here, and you don’t understand the hierarchy, which is totally okay. But here, I am your commanding officer, and you answer to me – not the other way around. If you’re not careful bucko – I’ll bring you downtown!” [[The fans boo Joey Ryan louder as Chuck Taylor laughs at him.]] “No, I’m serious, I’ll lock you up.”
[[Joey Ryan reaches into his tights, pulling out a pair of handcuffs as he walks towards Chuck Taylor, but Taylor throws his hands up in the air, pleading with Joey Ryan.

Yes, Matt Sydal is in no competition to compete, but Joey, fear not – as I’ve already found a replacement for Sydal!” [[Joey Ryan kicks the ropes in the ring, frustrated.]] “Unfortunately, I thought we’d get one more match out of Sydal but I’m sending him off to WLR – so instead, tonight Joey Ryan, you will face Chuck Taylor with the winner facing Drew Gulak at Rising Stars to compete for the WGPX Timeless Championship!”

Joey Ryan || WGPX.PD “Ladies and Gentlemen, earlier tonight I was screwed out of a WGPX Timeless Championship opportunity by Chuck Taylor – and Chuck … Chuck will get his.” [[Ryan unfolds a lollipop, popping it into his mouth.]] “But to clear, this beautiful, sexy name of mine – I wanted to show you all this.”
[[Joey Ryan presses a button as a video begins – we see Matt Sydal standing backstage, stretching out before his big match. Joey Ryan walks by slickly, twirling the lollipop in his mouth as he turns around the corner. Sydal turns to watch him continue walking when suddenly, an arm comes out – hitting Matt Sydal with an object. The man then walks into the shot as we see Drew Gulak, the WGPX Timeless Champion holding his belt after cracking it upside the head of Matt Sydal. Gulak picks Matt Sydal up by the hair – running to slam the face of Matt Sydal straight into the wall before grabbing a near garbage can and dumping the weapons it contained all on Matt Sydal before running off. Drew Gulak then returns, grabbing the WGPX Timeless Championship and escaping, two moments later a referee slides over to check on the fallen Matt Sydal.]]

♦ WGPX GRAND PRIX TOURNAMENT ♦ Richochet .versus. Shelton Benjamin
In The Closing Moments; Ricochet would perform a cart-wheel in the ring before popping up to completely clear the ropes, flipping out of the ring but Shelton Benjamin would move quickly, dodging out of the way. Ricochet would be one step ahead and would flip enough to land on his feet. Benjamin however would be waiting as Ricochet would land and turn, only to be met with a massive kick from Shelton Benjamin. The fans watch on in awe as Shelton Benjamin would roll Ricochet back into the ring, as it seemed that Ricochet’s time in the tournament would be coming to an end. Benjamin would enter the ring, stalking Ricochet as he slowly crawled back to his feet. Ricochet would turn around, as Benjamin leaped – looking for a Pay Dirt but Ricochet would bend down, causing Benjamin to instead wrap his arm around for a DDT. Ricochet would flip back, connecting a massive Northern Light Suplexe before gaining a burst of energy, rising to his feet – still holding on to Benjamin before hitting one more Northern Lights Suplexe! The fans burst to cheers as Ricochet still doesn’t let go, but instead gets back to his feet once again, looking for the third. Benjamin however manages to shove Ricochet away, finally going for the Pay Dirt but Ricochet instead does a handstand, connecting a big kick to the temple of Benjamin. Shelton Benjamin falls down in front of the turnbuckle as Ricochet springs through the second rope, standing on the apron. Ricochet leaps up and in the swiftest motion, turns – moonsaulting off the turnbuckle to crash down on Shelton Benjamin, hooking his legs, sending him off to USA-W after one hell of a match. ONE! TWO! THREE!
DING! DING! DING!
Melissa Santos || WGPX Ring Announcer “Ladies and Gentlemen, here is your winner and advancing in the WGPX Grand Prix Tournament, Ricochet!”
[[The fans cheer as Ricochet rolls up to his feet, being named the winner. Ricochet holds his back, shaking his head before climbing the apron. The referee checks on Shelton Benjamin as Ricochet drops down, watching Benjamin get back to his feet. The two men embrace with a hug, as Benjamin raises the arm of Ricochet high in the air – announcing that he believes that Ricochet will be Champion.]]
[[WGPX; Takedown cuts away to luxury hotel, where Ethan Carter III sits in a Jacuzzi with a green face mask on and cucumbers over his eyes. A beautiful blonde in a red bikini struts in, sitting on the end, as she feeds Carter the grapes. Carter swallows and removes his cucumbers, handing them to the female.]]
Ethan Carter III “Are you rolling yet stupid?” [[The camera shakes up and down.]] “Good, let’s get this over with so I can get back to my, business.” [[Carter takes a sip of champagne, setting the glass back down as he turns his head in, covered by bubbles.]] “Does Edge thing he’s creative? Crafty? Humble? Hmmmm? Where does he get off with putting me, ME in a Handicap Match at Rising Stars.” [[Ethan Carter III snickers.]] “I don’t know if he quite understands who my family is. See, I got connections here, connections that Edge isn’t even sure of.”
[[Suddenly, there is a knock heard as Carter smiles.]]
Ethan Carter III “That must be her now.” [[Carter is about to rise up, but stops – looking at the camera.]] “Look away stupid!”
[[The camera turns, looking at the blonde woman who exits the bathroom and walks towards a closed door. The woman opens it, revealing a room full of beautiful women but she closes the door behind her. Ethan Carter III arrives out of the bathroom in a white robe, staring at the camera man.]]
Ethan Carter III “Come on idiot, you’re not allowed in there.” [[The camera pans over as Ethan Carter III walks across his hotel room, opening the door. He blocks whomever ‘she’ may be.]] “Glad you could join me.”
[[Ethan Carter III moves, revealing Scarlett Bordeaux who walks into the hotel room, locking eyes with EC3. The two move closer as if they are about to embrace with a kiss but Scarlett Bordeaux puts her hand up, blocking the camera, blackening it out. The scene ends there, leaving fans wondering what EC3 has to do with The Galactic Federation.]]
[[WGPX; Takedown then cuts to a lockerroom where Mike Bennett and Matt Taven are sitting with smiles on their faces. The two are watching replays of last week when Mike Bennett returned to The Kingdom, aligning with Matt Taven to attack TK O’Ryan and Vinny Marseglia.]]
Mike Bennett || The Kingdom? “I can’t wait for Rising Stars. We’re going to make a mockery of them.”
Matt Taven || The Kingdom? “The best part is, I know every single move that those guys are going to do. We got this in the bag.”
Mike Bennett || The Kingdom? “I’m not overly concern, I mean we do have that little trick up our sleeves.” [[The two men just chuckle, but Bennett stops.]] “Have you seen Bullett Clubs lockerroom?”
Matt Taven || The Kingdom? “Don’t worry … King. I’ve hired us a personal assistant and she’s going to take care of it. Next week, this place will look like Royalty.”
[[The two men begin laughing once again as the scene fades.]]
** COMMERCIAL BREAK**
[[WGPX; Takedown returns in the ring with TK O’Ryan and Vinny Marseglia standing in the ring with foul faces. The two men shake their heads as a replay is shown of Cedric Alexander coming up short to Davey Richards earlier in the night, and then Alexander and Rich Swann being awarded a chance to qualify in the WGPX Tag Team Championship Match at Rising Stars.]]
- RAPPER’S DELIGHT - Flash Fire || Rich Swann & Cedric Alexander [[The fans cheer, dancing along as Rich Swann and Cedric Alexander emerge from the back, pulling off some disco grooves. Swann and Alexander set off down the ramp, highfiving fans as they pass. Cedric Alexander still looks to be feeling the effects from earlier tonight. The two men enter the ring, highfiving each other before turning to decide who will kick the match off.]]
♦ WGPX TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFYING MATCH, FOR FLASH FIRE ♦ TK O’Ryan & Vinny Marseglia .versus. Flash Fire
In The Closing Moments; Vinny Marseglia attempts to charge into the ring, grabbing Cedric Alexander who has TK O’Ryan locked in a Single Crab. Vinny sends Cedric Alexander straight into the steel ring post, but Rich Swann takes the opportunity to tag himself in before hoping into the ring. Vinny spins around smirking – thinking he out smarted Flash Fire, but Rich Swann jumps up, kicking Vinny Marseglia in the back, causing him to tumble through the second ropes. Rich Swann hops up and down, before turning and hitting the ropes, charging back to soar over the ropes – flying out to crash down on Vinny Marseglia. The crowd bursts into cheers as Rich Swann quickly slides back into the ring but is met with a big lariat from TK O’Ryan. The fans cut to boos as O’Ryan gets to his feet, shaking his head no as he hauls Rich Swann back up. TK O’Ryan turns however, running back to knock Cedric Alexander off the apron. TK O’Ryan smirks as he turns back around but Rich Swann flies into him with a Spin Kick! The fans cheer as TK O’Ryan quickly tries to get back to his feet but Rich Swann takes off, hitting TK O’Ryan with a swift running knee! TK O’Ryan flops down in front of the turnbuckle as Rich Swann climbs up, diving off to connect a massive Phoenix Splash! Rich Swann hooks the leg of TK O’Ryan as Vinny Marseglia just tried to get into the ring. ONE! TWO! THREE!
DING! DING! DING!
Melissa Santos || WGPX Ring Announcer “Ladies and Gentlemen, here are your winners – advancing to the WGPX Classic TLC Match for the WGPX Tag Team Championship at Rising Stars, FLASH FIRE!”
[[Rich Swann rises to his feet as Cedric Alexander rolls back into the ring. The two men embrace with a hug as TK O’Ryan rolls out of the ring, holding his stomach. The two men signal that they are going to become WGPX Tag Team Champions as Rich Swann climbs the turnbuckle, raising his arms high in the air.]]
[[Christian stands up at the announce table, as the WGPX fans cheer for him, some bowing. Christian smiles widely, raising a microphone high in the air.]]
Christian || WGPX Commentator “Ladies and Gentlemen of the WGPX Universe, I am Christian and my dear pal Edge has decided that tonight I will have the opportunity to interview Kevin Steen!” [[The fans give off a mixture of emotions for the mention of Steen.]] “Now, Kevin Steen will be joining us live tonight via satellite, as he is currently in Montreal.” [[The fans boo at the mention of Montreal, but break into slight cheers as Kevin Steen appears on the titantron adjusting his microphone, clipped to his chest.]] “Kevin, Kevin – How are you doing?”
Kevin Steen “How am I doing? We’ll I’m actually feeling pretty good Christian. I mean, did you see me last week? I got the upperhand on Michael Elgin.” [[Kevin Steen chuckles as Christian attempts to raise the microphone once again.]] “No, you might as well sit down Christian, because this – this is all about me. I came to WGPX to do something that WLR never would have done, and that is make me a star. I showed the world exactly what WLR stood for, when I kicked Finn Balor straight in his testicles, wishing he had never stepped foot in that arena. And when I came here, I showed the world that I wasn’t someone’s bitch like Kevin Owens was, no – I’m Kevin Fucking Steen and at Rising Stars, Michael Elgin is going to go through hell, and I don’t care if it’s Davey Richards or Eddie Edwards. I don’t care if it’s Willie Mack or Cody Rhodes or Ricochet, because I am going to win the WGPX Grand Champion. It won’t be just Takedown that gets a remodel … This whole fucking company is going to become The Kevin Steen Show. Because that’s who I am – That’s what this is. I am Wrestling’s Worst Fucking Nightmare, and I’m taking over WGPX.”
[[Kevin Steen rips the microphone from his shirt, wrapping it up and tossing it on the ground before exiting the shot, knocking the camera over in the process. Back in the ring the fans cheer as Christian sits back down – rather shocked with Nigel McGuinness.]]
** COMMERCIAL BREAK **
[[WGPX; Takedown returns backstage with The Bullet Club once again. Cody Rhodes puts on his long entrance jacket, adjusting it as he kisses Brandi Rhodes. The Young Bucks stand up, as The Guerrillas of Destiny look at them funny.]]
Tama Tonga || The Bullet Club “Where you two going?”
[[Matt Jackson smirks.]]
Nick Jackson || The Bullet Club “Oh – Cody wants us at ringside tonight.”
[[The Young Bucks smile widely, giving The Guerrillas of Destiny an cocky look. Cody Rhodes then pats the two men on the back, stepping between them.]]
Cody Rhodes || The Bullet Club “Ready boys?”
Matt Jackson || The Bullet Club “Let’s go.”
[[Cody Rhodes stops the boys from turning as he puts his hand out.]]
Cody Rhodes || The Bullet Club “Come on, everybody in. It’s good luck.”
[[Everyone stands up, joining Cody in the center of the lockerroom as they all put their arm overlapping one another. The Young Bucks stare at The Guerrillas of Destiny, as the two give off a smug look at one another. Everyone then lefts their arms up on the count of three.]]
The Bullet Club “One! Two! Three! FUCK THE REVIVAL!”
[[Rhodes smiles widely, turning with The Young Bucks as they exit the lockerroom. Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa keeping close eyes on The Bucks.]]
[[WGPX; Takedown the moves over to the office of Edge, as he sits at his desk – leaning back to watch the Kevin Steen Promo once again. Edge gives off a look as if he’s losing control but shrugs it off, signing a few papers on his desk. Edge then pushes the papers together, sliding them onto a clipboard. He presses a button on his corded phone as a young – familiar woman walks into his office.]]
Adam “Edge” Copeland || WGPX General Manager “Allie. I really appreciate you taking my assistant position.”
Allie || WGPX Assistant “No problem. I uh-uh- I love to help.”
[[Allie shakes her head up and down as Edge hands her the clipboard.]]
Adam “Edge” Copeland || WGPX General Manager “Have the eight guys sign this. If they have any problems, let me know.”
Allie || WGPX Assistant “Okay boss!”
[[Allie grabs the clipboard, turning and walking off as Edge leans back in his chair once again. He stares over at the replicas displays of the WGPX Championship, as one empty spot is noticed.]]
[[We cut back to the ring, as we are set for our final WGPX Tag Team Championship Qualifying Match.]]
Big E || The New Day “AWWWWWHHHH TORONTO!!!! DON’T YOU DARE BE SOUR! CLAP FOR YOUR FUTURE WGPX TAG TEAM CHAMPS, AND FEEEEEL THE POWEERRRR!”
- IT’S A NEW DAY, YES IT IS! - The New Day [[The fans burst into cheers as Big E, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods all emerge from the back, dancing around. The New Day join the crowd with claps as they chant ‘NEW DAY ROCKS,’ with Big E moving to the crowd, shaking a box of Booty-O’s into two of the fans mouths. Big E then tosses the box into the crowd as the three men climb the turnbuckle, entering the ring. The New Day shout out that they’re finally here, before beginning to do a three-way rock, paper, scissors match – however each man picks something different every time and they can’t decide a winner. Finally, Big E decides to exit the ring, allowing Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods to compete.]]
- FIRST THINGS FIRST - All Night Xpress [[The fans cut to boos as Kenny King and Rhett Titus emerge from the back – Kenny King hoping around the ramp as Rhett Titus continues walking straight down the ramp, not having any of it. Rhett Titus rolls straight into the ring, wasting no times as he jumps Xavier Woods, leaving Kenny King to enter the ring slowly. Kofi Kingston tries to break up Titus and Woods but Kenny King kicks him square out of the ring.]]
♦ WGPX TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFYING MATCH ♦ The New Day [Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston .with. Big E] .versus. All Night Xpress
In The Closing Moments; Kofi Kingston would spring up, falling down with a massive Boom Drop on Rhett Titus! Kingston rolls back, tagging in Xavier Woods before prepping for a Trouble in Paradise. However, Kenny King would leap into the ring, running over towards Kingston – who would spin looking to catch King with a Trouble in Paradise. King would slide down under Kingston as he leaped into the air, only for Xavier Woods to soar off the ropes, catching Kenny King with a phenomenal elbow! Kenny King would flop around the ring, but would distract the two long enough for Rhett Titus to grab Kofi Kingston – whom he thought was still the legal man, grabbing him – tossing him straight out of the ring. Rhett Titus would turn around only to have Xavier Woods stun him with a massive kick to the stomach. Woods would lift Rhett Titus up, looking for a back bodydrop but instead, Woods would set Rhett Titus so he was straddling the second turnbuckle. Woods grabs the head of Rhett, slamming it into the mat before turning to see Kenny King getting to the apron. Xavier Woods would run towards him but Kenny King would hit a Rolling Wheel Kick on Woods stunning him. Kenny King would quickly climb the turnbuckle, looking to fly but Kofi Kingston would run up to join him. Kenny King would strike Kingston quick, knocking him off the apron – causing Kingston to fall back onto Big E, but Xavier Woods would follow up by running up behind him on the apron, shoving Kenny King across the ring. Kenny would fly as he came crashing down into a hung back Rhett Titus - who would try and escape his position, causing the two to collide with a big headbutt. The fans would go wild as Xavier Woods would follow up by climbing the turnbuckle. Kenny King would roll out of the ring as Rhett Titus would attempt to reach the third rope, but Xavier Woods would walk across the ropes, leaping off the hit a thunderous Limit Break on Rhett Titus!

DING! DING! DING!

[[The fans burst into cheers as Xavier Woods rolls out of the ring, sitting on the apron as Big E and Kofi Kingston hug him quickly. The three men begin to celebrate, placing Woods on their shoulders as they walk around the ring area, heading up the ramp. Woods raises his trombone, Francesca high in the air before the three disappear to the back. The music would cut as Kenny King gets to his feet, helping the referee in raising Rhett Titus up – but Titus would shove Kenny King away, shouting that this was his fault. Rhett Titus completely implodes – slapping Kenny King across the face before shoving the referee back. The referee begins to yell at Titus, but Titus would shove him once again. Kenny King would then shove Rhett Titus asking him what was going on as Rhett Titus delivers a kick straight to the groin of Kenny King. The fans are shocked as Rhett Titus would then turn, kicking the referee in the mid-section before grabbing him and hitting a Rhett-ribution. The fans shower Rhett Titus in boos as he stands above the fallen referee, staring at a kneeling Kenny King who holds his groin in pain. Rhett Titus yells out ‘FUCK YOU,’ before lowering his knee pad and connecting a massive knee square to the head of King, laying him out. Rhett Titus rolls out of the ring, giving the fans in Toronto the finger as he walks to the back.]]

[[We then cut backstage to see Charly Caruso and Michael Elgin watching the carnage. The two turn around as Charly Caruso raises her microphone.]]
Charly Caruso || WGPX Interviewer “Michael Elgin, thank you for joining me.” [[Elgin nods his head.]] “Earlier tonight we heard from Kevin Steen … What are your thoughts on what he had to say?”
Michael Elgin “Kevin Steen got some big boys below the belt, let me tell you. Steen comes in here, trying to take a beating to me? I don’t think he knows who he’s messing with.” [[Elgin clears his throat, sort of snickering.]] “I understand that he wants to come in here, making a statement – but I’m Unbreakable, and Kevin Steen – you just signed your death wish. At Rising Stars, the minute I see you – I’m coming for ya boy. So, you better be ready, and once we’re locked inside that cage – you’re going to break.”
[[Michael Elgin huffs and puffs, giving a smug look to the camera before turning and walking off leaving Charly Caruso smiling at the camera.]]
[[WGPX; Takedown returns to the ring as Nigel McGuinness and Christian give us a replay of what occurred with All Night Xpress. The two commentators then announce that it’s Main Event time!]]

- SHOT’EM - Cody Rhodes & The Young Bucks || The Bullet Club [[The fans let out a mixture of emotions as Cody Rhodes, Nick Jackson and Matt Jackson emerge from the back, throwing up the Too Sweet sign. The fans begin to chant such things as ‘FUCK THE REVIVAL, TOO SWEET and THE ELITE, THE THE, ELITE,’ as the three men make their way down the ramp – The Young Bucks slap Cody Rhodes on the back, hyping him up as Rhodes removes his jacket, sliding into the ring – set for Main Event action.]]
♦ WGPX GRAND PRIX TOURNAMENT ♦ Cody Rhodes .with. The Young Bucks .versus. Willie Mack
In the Closing Moments; Willie Mack would fly out of the turnbuckle, leaping up into the air to crash into Cody Rhodes in the corner. Willie Mack would follow through, looking to hit the ropes as Cody Rhodes wobbled out of the turnbuckle, clipping him with a fantastic pounce! The fans would cheer as Willie Mack attempted to cover Cody Rhodes, but The Young Bucks would pull the referee from the ring, laying him out on the floor. The fans would cut to boos as The Young Bucks would slide into the ring, starting to jump Willie Mack who attempts to get to his feet. Suddenly, the fans break into cheers as Jay Lethal comes charging down the ramp, sliding into the ring to tackle Nick Jackson to the mat, hammering lefts and rights into him. Matt Jackson steps away from Willie Mack, grabbing Jay Lethal from Nick Jackson bringing him to his feet. Jay Lethal breaks the hands of Matt Jackson, firing shots into him as both Nick Jackson and Willie Mack get back to their feet. Matt Jackson manages to connect a knee, making some space between Jay Lethal and himself, only to fire back with a Superkick attempt. Jay Lethal however side steps it as Willie Mack and Nick Jackson brawl. Jay Lethal connects a Lethal Combination, sending Matt Jackson out of the ring as Willie Mack pops a middle finger up at Nick Jackson before hitting him with a stunner! The fans go wild as The Young Bucks both roll out of the ring, making it to their feet on the outside. Jay Lethal hits the ropes, charging and soaring through the second rope – hitting a massive suicide dive on The Young Bucks! The fans go nuts as Willie Mack bounces up and down in the ring, looking as if he’s going to do a splash of his own but as Willie Mack charges, Cody Rhodes dashes across the ring, catching him off guard. Willie Mack spins around but Cody jumps off the turnbuckle, catching Willie Mack with a Disaster Kick! Willie Mack would stumble around as Rhodes would trip him back onto the mat, finally locking in an American Nightmare on Willie Mack. Willie would hang on the best he could, but would have to tap out due to the damage of the knee.
DING! DING! DING!
Melissa Santos || WGPX Ring Announcer “Ladies and Gentlemen, here is your winner … Advancing in the WGPX Grand Prix Tournament, The American Nightmare, CODY RHODES!”
[[The fans give out a mixture of cheers and boos as Cody Rhodes rises to his feet, laughing as he gets his arm raised high in the air. Nigel McGuinness and Christian give us our updated bracket, as Rhodes celebrates in the ring.]]
[[Jay Lethal dives into the ring, angry as Cody Rhodes backs into the ropes, looking across at Lethal. Rhodes laughs until suddenly, The Young Bucks get into the ring – attacking Jay Lethal from behind. The three men begin stomping boots into Jay Lethal before returning to Willie Mack, doing the same. The Young Bucks would hoist Jay Lethal up, feeding him to Cody Rhodes – who would hit a Cross Rhodes. The fans would continue to boo as Cody Rhodes and The Bucks would haul Willie Mack to his feet, allowing The Young Bucks to connect a double Superkick on Willie Mack! WGPX would close out with The Bullet Club throwing the Too Sweet sign high in the air, playing to the Toronto crowd.]]

Rhett Titus lets out a sound of frustration as he barges in the door – staring at the General Manager. Rhett Titus throws papers at Edge before turning around.]]
Rhett Titus “I QUIT!”

USA WRESTLING PRESENTS…October 22, 2017Pyro explodes throughout the arena, as all the fans are on their feet for the first Pay-Per-View event in USA-W history! The camera pans around, as the fans are shown rocking their USA-W shirts and signs, before the scene rests on the announce table.
Jim Ross: Welcome ladies and gentlemen, to Brutality! I’m “Good Ole’ JR” Jim Ross, and sitting by my side is none other than Jerry “The King” Lawler! This is the first Pay-Per-View event in USA Wrestling history! We have a hell of a card tonight, don’t we King?
Jerry Lawler: We sure do, JR! I’m more excited for tonight than I have been in my entire life!
Jim Ross: Our main event tonight will crown the first ever USA-W World Champion! Seth Rollins and Daniel Bryan earned their way into this match, and it should be a great one!
Jerry Lawler: That’s gonna be great for sure, but the match I’m most excited for is the No Holds Barred match! Samoa Joe has been attacking Bobby Roode for weeks, and Bobby finally decided he had enough! Shane McMahon made this a No Holds Barred match in order to ensure an even playing field between the two. I can’t wait!
Jim Ross: All that and much more as we get ready for our first match!>>MY TIME IS NOW<<Fans explode into cheers as they quickly realize there is no waiting for the John Cena US Open Challenge! Cena charges out onto the stage with a huge smile on his face, as he looks out into the crowd. He looks into the camera, saying he can’t wait to see who answers the challenge, and charges down the ramp, sliding into the ring. He poses in the ring, and then he is handed a microphone from ringside.
John Cena: Well, it is electric here in D.C.! The capitol of our nation, the only place that could have possibly hosted the first Pay-Per-View in USA-W history! And we’re starting it off with a bang aren’t we? It’s been a while since we’ve done one of these. The John Cena US Open Challenge has provided many classic matches in the past, and we’re gonna add one more tonight! There are a ton of deserving wrestlers backstage that would love to make a name for themselves at my expense! So, the John Cena US Open Challenge starts… NOW! If you want some, come get some!
Cena throws the mic down, removes his shirt and throws it into the crowd, as he waits for his opponent.>>END OF DAYS<<Boos are heard throughout the arena as the lights drop, and a spotlight hits the stage. Baron Corbin is standing in the spotlight, holding a microphone. The lights return to the arena, and Corbin’s theme drops, as he speaks on his way down to the ring.
Baron Corbin: John, holding an open challenge tonight was a big mistake. Because now, you have to face me! And you do not want to face me tonight, John! I am pissed off right now! Shane McMahon has excluded me from Championship matches tonight, when I was the one man most deserving of being in tonight’s main event! I defeated Chris Adonis, and sent him packing to WGPX. And tonight John, I’m gonna do the same thing to you! I’m gonna beat you so bad, and I’m gonna kick you right out of USA-W. Then, I’ll go straight to Shane McMahon and demand he add me to tonight’s main event!
By this point, Corbin has entered the ring, and he gets right in Cena’s face.
Baron Corbin: I’m warning you now John, I am not a man you want to mess with.
Cena laughs and takes a step back, then throws a punch at Corbin. Corbin is knocked down, but he quickly gets up and wants a piece of Cena now! The referee holds him back, getting him into his corner, then calls for the bell.John Cena vs. Baron Corbin-Corbin charges right at Cena, clearly unhappy with what Cena did earlier. However, Cena counters with a drop toe hold. -Cena takes the advantage with a series of wear down submissions, but Corbin quickly fights back. -Corbin uses his strength to power out of Cena’s submissions, and he hits a series of strikes that leaves Cena reeling. -Corbin hits Cena with a Deep Six, and goes for the pin, but he kicks out at two. -Corbin gets frustrated, and goes for an early End of Days, but Cena counters into a Reverse STO. -Cena quickly stands, as Corbin gets to his knees, and Cena hits a Spike DDT, then follows up with a Five Knuckle Shuffle. -Cena hits Corbin with an Attitude Adjustment, and gets the quick pin to win.
Tony Chimel: There is your winner, John Cena!
Cena stands and gets his arm raised, as he poses in the middle of the ring. Corbin recovers and gets his bearings, realizing he’s lost. Corbin gets visibly upset, as he gets to his feet and hits Cena with the End of Days. Corbin yells down at Cena, as multiple referees enter the ring and try to hold Corbin back away from Cena. Corbin powers through them, as he picks Cena up and hits another End of Days, as Corbin leaves Cena layer out in the ring. Cathy Kelly is shown backstage with a smile on her face.
Cathy Kelly: Please welcome my guests at this time, Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel.
Axel and Dallas walk into the shot, both smirking.
Cathy Kelly: Coming up next, the two of you will be taking on the Lucha Dragons in a match to determine the #1 Contenders to the tag team championships at Olympus. But just a few weeks ago, you lost to these two, and attacked them. What are your thoughts headed into this match?
Curtis Axel: Cathy, we are more confident than we ever have been in the past. The Lucha Dragons are nothing but pests that we need to eliminate on our path to glory.
Bo Dallas: Those two guys may be talented. They may be popular. But they are not Dallas and Axel! No team on this roster, or on this planet, are better than us! And we’re gonna go out there and prove it.
Dallas and Axel walk off as the screen fades to black.
Bray Wyatt is shown in a dark, smoky room. A faint laughter can heard, but Bray is not laughing. The laughter continues through the promo.
Bray Wyatt: Brutality. A word that I have come to love. A word that I have come to recognize myself as. Brutality. Brutality is something that the Devil taught me long ago. To be brutal is to show no remorse for your actions. Brutality. I have but one action to make, until I rule the World. The symbol of hope that the Devil has told me to vanquish. This man is someone who the ignorant people have latched on to, in hopes that they could be just like him. This man is no better or worse than any other man, and yet the people want to live vicariously through him. Yes, this man will have no idea what hit him. I give you but one warning: RUN!
The screen cuts back to black, but the laughter from before is still heard, and it grows louder, before cutting off.
Jim Ross: Who in the world could be this "symbol of hope?"
Jerry Lawler: I’m not sure, JR. But Bray did narrow things down for us. He said the fans I’ve vicariously through him. There are still a ton of candidates, but we know for sure that it isn’t someone that the fans don’t like.
Jim Ross: That is very true, King. But still, we won’t know for sure until Bray Wyatt acts out on his plan. Coming up next, the #1 Contenders match for the tag team championships!>>OUTCAST<<Tony Chimel: The following tag team match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, at a combined weight of 462 pounds, Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel!
Dallas and Axel come out onto stage and pose, as they then bump fists and start to walk down the ramp. They each yell at the fans, saying that they’re the best. They both climb onto the apron and step into the ring together, then pose again, as they back into their corner.>>LUCHA! LUCHA! LUCHA!<<Tony Chimel: And their opponents! At a combined weight of 375 pounds, Sin Cara and Kalisto, the Lucha Dragons!
Sin Cara and Kalisto come out onto the stage together and do their “Lucha!” dance together, before they both stand next to each other.

Dolph Ziggler: Sure, babe. Fire away.
Cathy Kelly: You’re gonna be facing Shinsuke Nakamura next. Do you have any sort of plan heading into this?
Dolph Ziggler: Of course I have a strategy. What kind of numb nut would go into any match without a plan? I have a strategy. I know exactly what I’m gonna do to Shinsuke. But, of course, I’m not gonna tell you, or anybody, what it is.
Cathy Kelly: Well, how do you plan on combating against Shinsuke’s Strong Style?
Dolph Ziggler: What did I just say, Cathy? You can ask me about anything you want, and you choose to focus on something I’m not giving the answer to. I’ll give you one more shot before I leave.
Cathy Kelly: Ok… then, what is it exactly that you have against Shinsuke Nakamura?
Dolph Ziggler: Ah, there ya go, Cathy! I explained it on Friday, but I’ll explain it again. I’m tired of not being given the spotlight that I rightfully deserve. I spent two weeks in WLR, and I got exactly zero opportunity and zero spotlight. And, after getting nothing that I deserved, I was traded away, like I didn’t even matter. I came here to take the spotlight that I deserve, and I’m taking out anyone who gets my spotlight.
Ziggler walks away, as the screen fades to black.
Shane McMahon is shown sitting in his office, as Baron Corbin barges is way in. Shane quickly stands, as security follows Corbin in, trying to talk him down.
Baron Corbin: Did you see what I saw to John Cena out there earlier, Shane? I think I proved that I deserve to be in tonight’s main event.
Shane McMahon: Was I watching the same thing as you? Because all I saw as you losing to John Cena, then attacking him, unprovoked. That certainly does not make you a contender for the USA-W World Championship.
Baron Corbin: I left a 16 time World Champion laying on the mat, unconscious! How can you not add me to that match?
Shane McMahon: Because, I don’t reward actions like your’s earlier. What you did was inexcusable. So, I’m putting you in another match against John Cena, this week, on Legacy.
Baron Corbin: Are you kidding me, Shane? After what I did to him?
Shane McMahon: I am not kidding you, Baron. If you win, you might be considered for a future title shot. I’m not guaranteeing anything, however. You’ll be lucky to get a USA-W Championship shot anytime soon.
Corbin gets frustrated, as he turns to leave, and sees the security. He yells at them to get out of the way, and he charges out of Shane’s office.

I am not a man he should take lightly. He knows that about me. We’ve known each other for many years now, and we’ve fought against each other.
