Anderson: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall, where the person who scores the winning pin will earn a title shot at Meltdown 50!
The crowd starts cheering out loud as Everest makes his way out and raises his hands on the stage before heading down the ramp. He shifts his head from side to side but not giving too much notice to the crowd.
Anderson: Introducing first, from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 205 pounds, Everest!
Connor: Everest had some interesting words to say in regards to Big Dave, he wants a rematch and he wants it soon, but tonight, he has the possibility of leaving with a title shot, do you think this will spark a reaction from Dave?
Cohen: Of course it will! Everest gets something that Big Dave wants, aside from each other, a possible shot at the World Heavyweight Championship!
Everest climbs into the ring and raises his arms again before rolling them in a warm up fashion as “Wake Up” starts playing, receiving a mixed reaction from the crowd as Sam Smith, he’s about to signal for the lights to go down but Everest taps his wrist like a watch so Smith shrugs and heads down the ring with a cocky look, signalling a belt around his waist.
Anderson: His partner, from Washington D.C., weighing in at 235 pounds, Sam Smith!
Connor: The newcomer is being shown a thing or two by the veteran, what do you make of his chances to getting the shot?
Cohen: Gordito managed to get one, why can’t he?
Smith rolls under the ropes and points to himself before Everest gets up into his face and talks to him about tactics, Smith looks bemused at what Everest has to say and even disputes it slightly, but they’re cut off by the sound of ‘The Hills Have Eyes” starts playing as Alex Bowen emerges onto the stage with a smile on his face, he signals for holding something in his hands, but he looks at them and looks sad at nothing being there. He stands at the top of the stage in wait.
Anderson: Their opponents, first, from Detroit, Michigan, weighing 247 pounds, Alex Bowen!
The fans boo but it gets heavier as ‘Hells Bells’ hits and the Tag Team Champion Steven Holmes emerges on the stage, looking disapprovingly at Bowen who walks up to Holmes and taps his title belt which Holmes doesn’t approve of and tells him to start heading down the ramp, to which Bowen does so with Holmes behind him but keeping at a distance.
Anderson: And representing The Crashin Movement, from London, England, weighing 240 pounds, he is one half of the WZCW Tag Team Champions, Steven Holmes!
Connor: Holmes doesn’t seem to approve of his partner for the evening.
Cohen: You’re kidding? Going from Steven Kurtesy to this clown, it’s like being told you can’t stay in the penthouse suite and have to be in the janitor’s room!
Bowen leaps up onto the apron and climbs in immediately as Holmes goes around the ring, Bowen mocks his opponent to which Sam Smith then hits a sudden clothesline and the bell is rung as Everest looks on unconvincingly as Smith stomps down on his opponent before allowing him to get back up before meeting him with a dropkick, he goes for a quick cover 1…….2..kickout by Bowen. He gets Bowen up and pushes him up to the ropes and tries to irish whip but Bowen counters it and hits an elbow into the face of Smith which knocks him back and then drops the elbow again on his head. Bowen gets up and tags in Holmes who still looks reluctant around his partner. He gets in an drops a knee on Smith’s head before allowing him to stagger back up to his feet before Holmes drags him into the corner and slams his head against the turnbuckle and then again before shoving him away and allowing Smith to run at him only to counter into a belly to belly suplex, which has Everest trying to cheer him on and reach for a tag in the corner.
Holmes keeps an eye on Everest in the corner as gets Smith up and tries to go for a vertical suplex but it is blocked, as well as the second attempt before Smith counters into one of his own. He looks at his corner but shrugs off Everest right before Holmes takes him down again with a clothesline. Holmes goes to his corner but stops for a second as he allows Bowen to tag back in as he runs and hits a headbutt on the mat, he goes for the cover, 1……2…..kickout by Smith. Bowen gets Smith up and hits him in the abs, he does so a couple of times before applying an abdominal stretch which has Smith wincing in pain, Bowen keeps elbowing Smith in the abs as he keeps stretching out his torso, he stretches him once more before shoving him down to the canvas. He goes back to his corner and gives a weird smile at Holmes before tagging him in. Holmes stands over Smith who’s slowly crawling in the middle of the ring, Holmes checks the distances and then locked on the Aristocracy Reigns, holding Smith’s head tight as he tries to hold off the pain.
Cohen: Looks like Holmes is getting that title shot, Smith’s taken so much he has to tap surely?!
Connor: It’s not over just yet, Everest is waiting patiently on the outside.
Cohen: Good luck there! Smith knows rightfully that he deserves a shot when Everest has had so many!
Smith looks to be wearing down as Holmes keeps trying to have the hold applied tighter by the second, Smith starts fading out as the referee raises an arm, drops it, he raises it again, drops it a second time, the referee goes to raise his hand a third time but Everest leaps over the top rope and clotheslines Holmes off to release the hold which gets some life back into Smith as Everest gets out of the ring and back to his corner. Holmes gets up and argues with the ref about what just occurred but the referee says there’s little he can do, so he gets up in Everest’s face and has a go at him, allowing Smith to sneak up and get a school boy, 1……2…..kickout by Holmes. In the shock of being almost pinned, Holmes crawls towards his corner as Smith reluctantly does so as well. He reaches his corner as Everest reaches out but Smith continues to ignore him and gets up on the ropes nearby right as Bowen is tagged in and goes straight for Smith who blocks a shot from him, only for Everest to blind tag him from behind to the cheer of the crowd which has them in excitement as he unloads some rights on Bowen before irish whipping him and hitting a spinebuster. Smith realises what happened and gets up in Everest’s face to argue with him, that this is his shot for the winning as his partner looks on in disbelief, but this allows Bowen to get up and he goes for a leaping splash which Everest dodges and Smith is taken down as he rolls to the outside of the ring.
Everest gets behind Bowen and hits a fallaway reverse DDT, he gets up again and challenges his opponent to come at him which he does so once back on his feet and is caught with a belly to belly, Bowen gets up and Everest grabs him again, shifting behind him and throwing him over with a German suplex, he turns and hits a spinning heel kick on Holmes to knock him off the apron as he stands waiting and ready for Bowen who climbs back to a vertical base, he turns and Everest unleashes The Rock Slide on him and goes for the cover, 1…....2……Smith grabs Bowen’s foot and puts it on the rope. The crowd boos in disbelief and Everest looks surprised at what occurred, asking him what he is doing and why he helped Bowen to which Smith responds with “It’s my shot!” as he gets back on the apron. Everest looks disappointed before he looks straight at him and then leaps up to kick him in the head with the enizguri which knocks him out. Everest goes back over to baseball slide Holmes into the barricade as he got back up to his feet, the former champion goes back to Bowen, grabbing him by then head, then holding his leg, throwing him over with a Fisherman’s suplex, 1……..2……..3.
Anderson: Here are your winners, Everest and Sam Smith. As Everest got the pin, he will face Ty Burna at Meltdown 50 for the World Heavyweight Championship!
Connor: Everest pretty much did this one by himself, rightfully earning the shot at Meltdown 50, what a match that will be!
Cohen: By himself? Sam Smith provided more to the match than Everest did, the former champion stole that man’s glory! Should be Smith going to face Ty, not Everest!
The crowd cheer in a frenzy as Everest has his hand raised and notions to them about the victory, he points to his waist and motions the number three while mouthing “It will happen!” He goes to leave and head up the ramp as Smith is laying against the ring apron, looking on in disbelief and anger. Holmes holds onto his head as he gets his tag belt back while Bowen is still out in the ring, Everest raises his arms one more in time in victory, much to the approval of the crowd.
------------------
We’re backstage with Big Dave who’s watching a television set, watching Everest celebrate his victory. Dave looks displeased and angry at the situation that’s just occurred, he gets up and walks to the television set to switch it off as he pauses for a moment before he smirks and heads off out of his locker room.
------------------
Now we're in Vance Bateman's office who's with Johnny Sherman, he stands there looking content.
Bateman: So as you can see Mr. Sherman, your match which will be next is a standard rules match against Scott Hammond. Naturally we'll keep watch on your progress and maybe if either of you impress, it can lead to better things. You better get going as you're up in any moment.
Sherman leaves as there's another knock at the door, Gordito enters in which gets a great reaction from the crowd.
Bateman: Ah, Mr. Gordito. Firstly, I want to congratulate you on a great performance at All or Nothing, while it may have not been a victorious one, your "I'm Sludge Pitter!" T-Shirts have doubled in sales on WZCWShop.com, your great efforts have been noticed. Now, what can I do you for?
Gordito: That's great to hear Bateman, and no doubt I will be aiming to challenge for the title again soon, I won't aim to disappoint the fans out there. But my point is strictly to business and that is whether I've been drawn yet for a match tonight?
Bateman: Well, I still have 8 men including yourself left to draw for tonight. So you possibly could be in a tag team match, triple threat, fatal fourway or one on one competition, maybe special stipulations. But to make it easier, we'll spin it now to determine your match and opponent for tonight. Roulette, please decide our stipulation here.
The Roulette spins again much like before and begins to slow down between tag and singles based bouts, Ladder, Tag Table, Singles, Singapore Cane,
Mayhem Rules. Gordito smiles at the sight of the draw.
Gordito: I like that very much, the type of match that got me on the scene here. Now spin for my opp...
Bateman: Ah da da da. I will spin it! Roulette, who is Gordito's opponent?
The Roulette spins through the seven remaining superstars left, it starts to slow down Ty Burna, Chris Jones, Michael Winters, Big Dave,
Cory Allen. Gordito breathes a sigh of relief given he just missed out on Big Dave.
Bateman: There you go Gordito, some fresh meat for you to compete against. You'll face off later on tonight, but if there's anything that's guaranteed is that I'm sure more shirts will shift after tonight!
Gordito: Here's hoping Bateman! Thanks again and see you later!
Gordito leaves as Bateman has a nice smirk on his face before he goes to sit back down at his desk.
