The crowd pops loudly as Steven Kurtesy makes his way out to the top of the entrance stage, the WZCW World Heavyweight Title wrapped around his waist. He bows at the top of the stage to the fans before standing straight, a determined look across his face. He walks down the ramp, bowing his head to various fans before sliding into the ring. He unbuckles the World Title and lays it down on the ground gently before bowing once more to the crowd to another pop.
Anderson: Introducing first, weighing in at 228 lbs, he is the WZCW World Heavyweight Champion, Steven Kurtesy!
Connor: The good Professor has a tall task ahead of him.
Cohen: You know this isn't going to be a fair fight. Ty will make sure of that, and with only the Apostles allowed at ringside, any allies such as Celeste can only stand by and watch helplessly.

The lights immediately go out as the crowd begins booing at a deafening pitch. As everyone's eyes divert towards the entrance stage, the static lights begin flashing everywhere, flames blasting forth from the top of the entrance stage. The lights suddenly come on as the music cuts, the Apostles of Chaos and their leader Ty Burna stand in the ring behind Steven Kurtesy. Kurtesy realizes what's going on and immediately goes for Ty, getting one shot to the mouth in before S.H.I.T. and Alhazred grab him and deliver a double spinebuster, laying out the World Champion out on the mat. Ty leans against the ropes, the back of his hand to his mouth but a noticeable laughter coming from him. He motions for Chris and Alhazred to exit the ring as S.H.I.T. stands tall over Kurtesy.
Connor: And it's begun already. I can only hope Kurtesy can somehow pull this off.
Cohen: Even Kurtesy knows he's not winning this match. He can only hope to survive.
Ty stays in the ring and grabs the ref yelling at him to ring the bell, which the ref obliges. Ty releases the ref and exits the ring, standing on the apron in the corner. Chris and Alhazred roam around the ring like sharks circling their prey as S.H.I.T. grabs hold of Kurtesy and drags him up. He backs him into the ropes and whips him across, connecting with a hard clothesline. Kurtesy's head bounces off the mat hard and he immediately covers up as S.H.I.T. looks towards Ty for instructions. Ty merely nods his head and S.H.I.T. grabs Kurtesy's arms and suddenly locks in Kurtesy's own submission move Confinement! Kurtesy struggles against the hold as Ty quickly drops down and walks over to the other side of the ring, yelling at Kurtesy to tap. Kurtesy looks up at his Kingdom Come challenger and suddenly the faint look on his face disappears, replaced with a look of determination. He begins pulling his arms forward, giving him breathing space literally as he slowly gets to his knees before flipping S.H.I.T. over his shoulders. The smirk on Ty's face is gone now as well as Kurtesy holds his neck in pain, S.H.I.T. rising to his feet quickly. Kurtesy rises slowly and counters a rushing S.H.I.T. with a thunderous Kesagari Chop! S.H.I.T. hits the mat and Kurtesy quickly leaps into the cover, 1.............2......S.H.I.T. kicks out! Kurtesy gets on to his knees, regaining his strength before getting back to his feet. He motions for S.H.I.T. to get up, which he does so. Kurtesy hits a hard kick to the right leg before whipping S.H.I.T. into the ropes. He runs right into a hard palm strike, staggering S.H.I.T. backwards into the ropes. Kurtesy backs into the ropes and preps for a cross body but just as he starts running Alhazred trips him and Kurtesy falls face first into the mat. Alhazred walks away looking innocent as the ref didn't catch it.
Connor: Just as Kurtesy begins to get something going, Alhazred is there for the interference.
Cohen: I know it's cowardly, but Kurtesy would almost be better off getting pinned immediately and get out of the ring as soon as he can. Give up this fight to win the war.
Connor: I don't think Kurtesy would be even capable of such a tactic Jack.
S.H.I.T., now recovered, walks over to Kurtesy and lifts him up by the ears before hitting an elbow to the face. Kurtesy stumbles backwards and S.H.I.T. hits a few hard kicks to the leg this time before clotheslining Kurtesy to the outside. Ty immediately jumps up onto the apron and begins arguing with the referee as Chris and Alhazred are already on Kurtesy, delivering stiff shots. The two back up and both go for a clothesline but Kurtesy ducks under and the two Apostles connect on each other! The crowd pops loudly as Kurtesy slides back into the ring. He immediately rushes S.H.I.T. and hits a spinning heel kick, taking the robot down. As S.H.I.T. bounces back up, Kurtesy hits another one and is really beginning to gain momentum. As S.H.I.T. stands up again, Ty suddenly enters the ring and shoves S.H.I.T. to the side and hits a devastating Consecrated Banishment, crumpling Kurtesy to the mat! The ref signals for the DQ finish as the crowd boos loudly, Ty standing over Kurtesy with a wicked grin on his face, staring down at the champion with hatred in his eyes.
Anderson: The winner of the first fall by disqualification, Steven Kurtesy!
Connor: I don't think Ty cares about winning tonight. He's out to hurt and injure Kurtesy tonight.
Cohen: I don't agree with the methods, but the strategy is sound. Ty is using his power to soften up his Kingdom Come opponent, and it's working.
The ref tries to get Ty out of the ring but Ty shoves him away before stepping over Kurtesy and exiting the ring. Alhazred and Chris are both up and Ty motions for Alhazred to enter the ring. Alhazred nods and slides into the ring, and the ref signals for the bell to start the second match. Alhazred immediately goes for the cover, 1..........2..........Kurtesy kicks out at the last second! The crowd goes wild as Alhazred is stunned he didn't get the win there. That disappears quickly as Alhazred quickly mounts Kurtesy and begins delivering vicious blows with the Power Glove, each one growing more vicious with each blow. Kurtesy tries to cover up and finally the ref is forced to pull Alhazred away. Ty stands outside the ring, taunting the champion and relishing in each brutal strike. S.H.I.T. has taken Alhazred's spot on the outside, standing still awaiting orders. Chris is standing next to Ty, his eyes squarely focused on the action in the ring. Alhazred quickly hits a fist drop, nailing the power glove right across Kurtesy's temple. Kurtesy grasps his head in pain as Alhazred slowly rises, taking his time as he continues dissecting the champion. He lifts Kurtesy up and backs him into the corner before whipping him across into the opposite corner. Alhazred rushes forward but gets a boot to the face as Kurtesy collapses into the corner. Alhazred turns around, grasping his face for a few moments before rushing again. Kurtesy gets a boot up again, kicking Alhazred across the ring. Kurtesy lifts himself back up and rolls forward, connecting with a hard Savate kick! Alhazred drops down as Kurtesy quickly lifts him up and connects with an arm trap neckbreaker! He covers Alhazred right in front of Ty, his eyes locked dead on with the Harbinger's eyes, 1...........2........Alhazred kicks out!
Connor: Kurtesy has taken charge of this match, and he just stared Chaos right in the face.
Cohen: He has to be defiant, to show fear or quit is to feed into Ty's strength and confidence.
Connor: You normally don't act this way Jack.
Cohen: I've seen what the Apostles can do, and I don't agree with it all. I'll simply say that CC.
Kurtesy applies a sleeper hold, keeping Alhazred grounded while simultaneously recovering some of his own stamina, knowing full well to survive this fall would only mean a fresh opponent immediately taking Alhazred's place. He keeps the hold locked in tight as Alhazred begins to fade from the hold. The ref begins to check on him, but Chris suddenly jumps onto the apron, getting the ref's attention. Ty grabs hold of Alhazred's leg and pulls him towards the rope, resting his foot on the bottom one. The crowd boos loudly as Chris hops off the apron and the ref turns to see the foot on the rope. He forces Kurtesy to break the hold as Alhazred slowly pulls himself out of the ring to the outside. Kurtesy, now somewhat recovered looks towards Alhazred and runs to the opposite ropes. He comes bouncing off but Ty stands in front of Alhazred, forcing Kurtesy to stop. Kurtesy shrugs and suddenly slingshots himself over the top rope, crashing into Ty on the outside. Kurtesy is back to his feet quickly and holds his arm up as the crowd pops loudly. Chris and S.H.I.T. rush over to the area, but Kurtesy escapes into the ring before hand. Chris and S.H.I.T. help Ty and Alhazred up but Kurtesy suddenly comes over the top rope with a cross body, crashing into all of the Apostles! The crowd is going nuts as Kurtesy has taken down the whole stable!
Connor: Come on Kurtesy! You got them down!
Cohen: He's actually doing it. He's keeping one step ahead of the Apostles.
Ty gets to his feet angrily as the Apostles lie on the ground around him. Kurtesy motions for him to get into the ring as the crowd begins to reach a fever pitch. Ty climbs onto the apron and walks along the ropes slowly. He enters the ring very slowly before taking one painstaking step after painstaking step, finally standing face to face with the World Champion Ty stares at Kurtesy and Kurtesy returns the favor, when suddenly Alhazred and Chris come flying into the ring, Alhazred hitting the Level 5 as Ty ducks under it. Kurtesy stumbles backwards and Chris hits the Butterfly Effect! The ref signals for the disqualification once more as the crowd groans before booing even louder then before. Ty smirks slaps Chris on the back before exiting the ring once more along with Alhazred.
Anderson: The winner of the second match by disqualification, Steven Kurtesy!
Connor: Kurtesy's done, after all that there's gotta be nothing left in the tank.
Cohen: It was a good fight though CC....
The ref signals for the bell again and Kurtesy is dragging himself up to his feet by the ropes, his head lowered to his chin as everything's been taken out of him. Chris allows him to get to his feet and meets him in the corner, pushing his hand against Kurtesy's chin, forcing his head back. Kurtesy looks up and says a few words to him. Chris suddenly looks confused as he looks back at Ty, a raised fist up in the air. Ty nods his head and Chris turns back to Kurtesy and goes to deliver a hard shot but the distraction allows Kurtesy to slip away, connecting with hard kicks to the legs. He suddenly grabs Chris and drops him with Prescription Sedated! Ty is beside himself on the outside as the crowd is going nuts. Kurtesy remains on the ground, unable to follow up with a pin attempt as Chris is face first on the mat as well. The ref checks on both before beginning the ten count. Chris is getting to his feet first, as Kurtesy grabs hold of the ropes and pulls himself back up again. Chris connects first with a right hand, but Kurtesy replies back with a palm strike to the chest. Chris goes for another right, but Kurtesy blocks and hits a right of his own. Kurtesy is alive again as he hits right after right before whipping him across. Kurtesy hits a kick to the misdection before hitting a butterfly suplex and locks in a submission with the bridge! Kurtesy grits his teeth as holds the lock in, Chris struggles against the hold as the crowd is popping loudly!
Connor: Kurtesy has that submission locked in tight!
Cohen: Can he hold on for the victory though?
As Chris tries to move towards the ropes, Ty takes it upon himself to grab Chris's leg and pulls him towards the rope as Alhazred distracts the ref. Kurtesy suddenly releases the hold and gets up, hitting a hard right on Ty and knocking him off the apron. Kurtesy stares down at the outside as Ty sits up. S.H.I.T. slides a chair in to Chris, who grabs hold. He pushes himself back up and readies the chair. Kurtesy turns and notices, hitting a dropkick right into the chair and into Chris' face! The chair flies to the outside and he goes for the cover and after a few moments the ref finally notices the pin attempt, 1...........2...........Chris kicks out! The crowd is noticeably disappointed as Kurtesy slowly gets back to his knees, visibly spent from the damage done. Alhazred and S.H.I.T. both enter the ring and go to attack but Kurtesy trips S.H.I.T. with a low kick. Alhazred goes for a Level 5 but Kurtesy hits Solitary! Alhazred rolls out of the ring as Kurtesy clotheslines S.H.I.T. over the top rope. The crowd has lost their collective minds as Kurtesy motions for Chris to get up. Ty has an odd calm about him as he watches on, making no move towards the ring as Chris stumbles to his feet. Kurtesy goes to lock in Solitary, and finally Ty hops up onto the apron. Kurtesy goes to shove him away but Ty simply drops off the apron, laughing on the outside as Chris spins Kurtesy around and hits The Butterfly Effect! He covers him, 1................2..................3!
Anderson: Here is your winner, Chris K.O.!
Connor: Damn it! Ty waited for just the right moment!
Cohen: Just think of how much effort it took from Kurtesy to last as long as he did. He took the fight to the Apostles tonight, he came up short but he has to be commended for the fight he put up.
The air is taken out of the crowd as Ty walks over and grabs the WZCW World Title, draping it over his shoulder as he slides into the ring. He stands over Kurtesy before lifting the World Title high into the air. Chris is still down as Alhazred and S.H.I.T. pull themselves back into the ring. As the Apostles stand over Kurtesy, it dawns on the crowd what is about to happen now as they begin booing loudly, chants of Celeste ring out through the crowd. The boos turn to cheers as Celeste, Everest and Gordito suddenly come flying down the entrance ramp and slide into the ring. The Apostles quickly disperse, with Ty dropping the World Title right onto Kurtesy. Alhazred and S.H.I.T. drag Chris out of the ring and to the outside. Celeste, Everest, and Gordito stand in front of Kurtesy, motioning for the Apostles to get in the ring. Ty merely smirks as he begins walking back towards the ramp.
Connor: It looks like Team WZCW has arrived!
Cohen: It appears Everest and Gordito have joined Celeste in her mission to face off against the Apostles! And just in time as Kurtesy was about to finished off.
Ty stands at the top of the entrance ramp staring down Team WZCW when he suddenly lifts a mic up, a grin on his face.
Ty: Gordito! Is this truly what it's come to yet again? I can see you're itching to get your hands on the Apostles or myself. That won't be happening.
Gordito looks confused for a moment but the confidence returns as he glares towards Ty.
Ty: It's quite simple. That blow hard Titus already felt the wrath of Chaos, so have you Celeste, and Everest you were merely the jumping off point for the beginning of the end. The worst thing I can do to you Gordito? You love to fight, even if you get destroyed in the process. So what's worse then making a fighter sit on the sidelines? You have the next round of shows off Gordito, and if you show your ugly mug up anywhere near my show, Ascension, or even Aftershock, you'll go exactly through what Kurtesy just did, only I will be the one delivering the destruction. Chaos reigns supreme yet again, where is your great leader WZCW? He does not exist, and soon the World Title will be take its rightful place right around my waist.
Ty drops the title as the Apostles gather around him at the top of the entrance ramp. A staredown ensues between Team WZCW, Gordito visibly angry at the announcement, and the Apostles. Team WZCW turns and helps Kurtesy back to his feet, Kurtesy weakly holding the title into the air to a loud pop from the crowd as we go off the air.
