Anderson: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
Headstrong hits and the crowd give a loud but mixed reaction as the Elite X champion emerges.
Anderson: Introducing first, from the West End of London, the Elite X champion, Austin Reynolds!
Connor: Austin has to be hurting after the vicious attack from Constantine two weeks ago.
Cohen: Constantine wanted to make an impact, so he targeted the Elite X champ. It’s up to Reynolds to answer the call.
Reynolds walks down to the ring slowly, obviously hurting. He gingerly climbs into the ring and gets up onto the turnbuckle. He exhales heavily before doing his signature taunt and holding up his title belt.
Suicide Messiah hits and Jordan Lights comes out onto the stage.
Anderson: And his opponent, from Philadelphia PA, “The Justice” Jordan Lights!
He walks to the left and motions to the crowd. He goes across to the other side and does the side before running down to the ring and sliding into the ring. With Austin looking on, Lights taunts for the crowd again before turning to his opponent. The referee takes Austin’s title and calls for the bell. The two men circle each other and lock up and Lights gets Austin in a headlock but Austin quickly pushes him off into the ropes. Lights bounces off the ropes and shoulder blocks Austin, who goes down. Lights backs into the corner, as Austin smirks and nods before getting back to his feet. The two men lock up and again Lights puts Austin in a headlock, and again Austin pushes Lights into the ropes, but this time as Lights returns, Austin hits him with a big dropkick. This time Austin backs into the corner, smirking. Lights slowly gets up and nods at Austin while rubbing his jaw. The two men walk slowly into the centre of the ring and Austin hits a big right hand, which Lights instantly returns. They exchange right hands until Lights starts to gain the advantage, back Austin into the ropes, before Irish Whipping Austin across the ring. Austin bounces back from the ropes and Lights goes for a big boot, but Austin slides under it and outside the ring. Lights goes to follow Austin outside the ring, but Austin quickly jumps up on the apron and kicks Lights in the head as he’s between the ropes. Lights falls back inside the ring and Austin goes for a pin, 1... Lights powers out.
Connor: Austin needing to use all his agility to neutralise Lights’ strength.
Cohen: I’m betting Constantine is watching very closely somewhere.
Austin stomps away on Lights, who is slowly getting up. Lights gets to his feet and Austin goes for a discus lariat but Lights ducks under it and quickly tries to trap Austin in a Sleeper Hold, but Austin struggles out of it and nails Lights with a Roaring Elbow. Austin again goes for a pin, 1... 2 Lights kicks out again. Austin goes onto the ring apron and jumps up, going for a springboard headbutt but Lights sits up, missing Austin by inches as he crashes into the mat. Lights quickly rolls Austin over and goes for a quick pin, 1... 2... Austin kicks out. Lights sits Austin up and locks in a Sleeper. Austin tries to get out of it again, but this time Lights locks it in tightly before Austin can escape. Austin flails his arms, desperately trying to find the ropes but Lights pulls him down to the mat. Austin quickly starts to fade as the referee checks on him. The referee lifts his arm once and it falls. It falls a second time too. The ref drops Austin’s arm for a third time but Austin is able to stop it just before it hits the mat. He manages to quickly knee Lights in the head and Lights lets go.
Both men quickly get to their feet and Austin runs at Lights, but Lights hits him with a sudden Swinging Neckbreaker. Both men go down and Lights slowly crawls into a cover on Austin, 1... 2... Austin manages to get his shoulder up. Lights starts to look a bit frustrated as he gets to his feet and starts stomping on Austin’s hurt ribs. Lights drops a knee on Austin’s ribs, making him scream out in pain. Lights picks up Austin and gets him in a Front Facelock before lifiting up for a vertical suplex. He holds Austin up for as long as he can, the blood rushing to Austin’s head, before dropping him to the mat. Lights goes for the pin, 1... 2... Kick out by Austin. Lights signals for the the C.Y.A and stalks Austin, who is barely stirring on the mat. Austin crawls over to the ropes and uses them to get to his feet. He stumbles backwards into Lights, who goes to hit the C.Y.A but Austin uses the momentum to land behind Lights on his feet. Austin runs into the ropes and comes back, going for a Leg Lariat, but Lights reverses it into a Powerbomb! Lights pins Austin again, 1... 2... Austin gets a shoulder up!
Connor: What does Lights have to do to put away the Elite X champion!?
Cohen: It looks like Constantine didn’t quite do enough damage.
Lights shouts out in frustration before getting up and going for the Justification on Reynolds, but Austin quickly rolls him up into a schoolboy pin, 1... 2... Lights kicks out. Lights quickly gets to his feet, look angry as he waits for Austin to gets up. Austin finally makes it to his feet and Lights runs at him, going for a high knee strike, but Austin dodges it and hits Lights with a Lungblower! Austin rolls under the bottom rope and gets up on the apron as Lights gets to his feet inside the ring. Lights turns around and Austin springboards off the ropes, hitting the Ego Crush on Lights and hooks his leg, 1... 2... 3!
Anderson: Here is your winner, the Elite X Champion, Austin Reynolds!
Connor: What an effort by Jordan Lights! But in the end, the Elite X champion prevailed!
Austin lies on the mat for a moment before slowly pulling himself to his feet. He leans into the corner, looking exhausted as the referee hands him his title. He holds it up as Lights sits up in the middle of the ring, shaking his head. Austin walks across the ring and gives Lights a quick pat on the back before dropping to the mat and rolling out of the ring.
Cohen: Interesting... Seems all this stuff with Constantine is making Austin go soft...
Connor: How could he not respect Lights after that performance, Jack?

We cut backstage to Becy Serra standing between Ty Burna and Titus.
Becky: Ladies and gentleman I have the two contestants in the title contendership match tonight, Ty Burna and Titus.
Titus: Becky! How's the wife?
Becky: Um....Titus...
Titus: Oh never mind, I thought I was speaking to Leon.
Becky: Right...anyways. Tonight you two face each other in a rematch of Meltdown 41. What are you thoughts first Titus.
Titus grabs the mic and turns towards Ty.
Titus: Look Ty, while I appreciate your help last week against Vengeance. I don't need it. I don't get what your game is here, but I promise you it won't continue against Vengeance after tonight.
Ty: Typical of you Titus. I'm sorry I'm not the flashy crowd pleaser that you're used to getting help from, but at least respect what I did saved you and Showtime from a savage beating.
Titus: Why should I trust you Ty? You've done nothing but cause problems for me, including costing me my WZCW World Heavyweight Title. The very title I intend on reclaiming at Unscripted.
Ty shakes his head, his face showing no emotions.
Ty: While I have not atoned for my previous sins, I cannot allow you the opportunity Titus. I must rid WZCW of Vengeance, and I will go through anyone in my way. My reasoning for helping Showtime will be revealed soon. You can distrust me all you want Titus, it doesn't matter to me. What does matter is that Vengeance is stopped, and I don't think you're up to task Titus.
Titus: I'm not up to task? I wasn't the one running around cleaning up his messes like you were. In fact I had Vengeance in the palm of my hand before you scrambled my brains.
Ty: Exactly why you aren't up to task. I respect you Titus, but this is something I must do. I created this situation and I must be the one to end.
Ty walks away as Titus has a flustered look on his face. Becky turns towards Titus with a confused look on her face.
Becky: Did he seem...different to you?
Titus: It's Ty, when does he not seem different?
