Harrys: The following contest is a tag team match, and it is your main event of the evening!

Harrys: Introducing first, weighing in at 165 lbs, she is...Celeste Crimson!
Celeste makes her way out to a huge pop from the crowd. Her eyes focus directly on the ring, as she intently makes her way down the ramp. She hops up onto the ring apron before slingshotting herself into the ring. She lands on her feet and turns towards the entrance way, awaiting the arrival of her partner.
Copeland: Celeste Crimson picked up a victory last week over Mr. Baller, but this week she's in for a huge challenge as she takes on Ty Burna and his right hand man, Chris K.O.
Cohen:
It won't hurt that she has the World Heavyweight Champion as her partner, however.
Copeland:
No, it won't, partner. And I think it's safe to say that they have a lot more cohesion as a team lately than K.O. and Ty, who have had their share of friction recently.

Harrys: And introducing her partner, weighing in at 228 lbs, he is the WZCW World Heavyweight Champion...Steven Kurtesy!
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. Celeste watches quietly from the corner. Kurtesy claps her on the shoulder and moves close to recap their game plan.
Copeland:
You have to wonder what kind of shape Kurtesy is in tonight, after a brutal gauntlet against the Apostles of Chaos that ultimately led to his defeat.
Cohen:
There's no way he's one-hundred percent. And even if he was, there's no way he'd win this match anyway! He can't outclass the best, and that's what he's up against, with our fearless leader and his closest accomplice.
Copeland:
I would kindly remind that it's Kurtesy that has the world championship around his waist, partner.
Cohen:
For now, and only because he got lucky against Titus! He's just been keeping it warm for Ty. Our GM is generous like that.

Harrys: And introducing their opponents; first, representing the Apostles of Chaos, weighing in at 212 pounds...Chris K.O.! And his partner, weighing in at 235 pounds, he is the General Manager of Meltdown...Ty Burna!
Chris K.O. makes his appearance first, looking determined but a little hesitant. Ty Burna appears behind him, nothing but darkness and evil intent written on his face. K.O. takes a brief look backward at his master, before walking forward quickly down the ramp. Ty follows more slowly, determined and calm. K.O. enters the ring and stares down his opponents, Ty approaches and enters slowly and deliberately. He puts a hand of K.O.'s shoulder and whispers some last minute instruction to him as they approach their corner.
Copeland:
Do you feel just the slightest bit of tension between these two, Jack?
Cohen:
Not at all! They appear to be the picture of cohesion from where I sit, Seabass, and I resent your implications and will be sure to pass them on to Mr. Burna. The Apostles have never been stronger.
Copeland:
Say what you will, Jack - I think it will be very interesting to see these two partner up.
Cohen:
Well of course it will! It's the future world champion and his named successor. What could be more interesting?
Celeste and Kurtesy finish their discussion and Celeste slips out to the ring apron, Kurtesy taking a ready position in the corner. K.O. takes a step forward, appearing ready to start, but Ty puts an arm across his chest. K.O. gives him a strange look, but shrugs and heads out to the apron. Kurtesy also looks slightly bemused as Ty takes his place to wait for the match to begin. The referee takes a moment to ensure that all the wrestlers are set and ready, then signals for the bell.
The two future Kingdom Come opponents meet in the center of the ring. Ty has a cocky smile and some words for Kurtesy, who stays stoic. Ty looks aside for a moment, laughing, and goes for a quick strike to Kurtesy's head. Kurtesy blocks it with his arm and goes for one of his own, not missing this time as he stuns Ty, who takes a few hurried steps back and rubs his hand across his chin. Kurtesy allows himself a small smile now, and offers the lock up. Ty looks at Kurtesy full of hatred, spits on the mat, and takes the lock up. They struggle for a moment, before Kurtesy quickly wraps around and turns it into a hammer lock. Ty struggles for a moment, but the technical master doesn't let up, wrenching the hammer lock in tight. Kurtesy puts his weight on Ty from behind and forces him to his knees. Ty struggles against the weak position, but can't wrench his way out of it. Kurtesy, trying to get his timing just right, lets up on the hammerlock and almost instantaneously levels a kick to the upper back of Ty. Ty rolls away in pain and uses the ropes to struggle to his knees while Kurtesy backs off, thinking up his next move. Ty gets up and shakes his arm out, working the feeling back. K.O. calls for a tag but Ty shakes his head, wanting another go. Ty wants no part of a lock up this time, instead quickly slapping on a headlock when Kurtesy closes to him. He pulls hard on it once, but his arm, weak from the hammer lock, can't keep Kurtesy in tight. The world champion slips out and puts on a headlock of his own, using it to take Ty down to the mat. Once again, Kurtesy waits for the right moment, lets the hold up, and kicks Ty, this time square in the shoulder. Ty rolls away and shakes his arm, now without any feeling at all. He quickly tags in K.O., shaking his head in anger.
Copeland:
Well, Ty made the wrong move there, playing Kurtesy's game. A surprising misstep from him.
Cohen:
A misstep, Seabass...or feeling out what his future opponent will try at Kingdom Come? Didn't think of that, did you!
K.O. and Kurtesy quickly lock up. Kurtesy slips around and tries for a full nelson, but K.O. struggles out of it. While they're still tied up, Kurtesy gets hold of K.O.'s arm and gets a wristlock on. He uses it to take K.O. down to the mat and starts working over the arm and elbow. K.O. struggles to get up and after one unsuccessful attempt he does manage to stand again, still trying to force his way out of the wristlock. K.O. drops down out of his own volition this time and uses the moment of surprise to reverse the wristlock! He stands up now with the wristlock on Kurtesy. Kurtesy is too savvy, however, and quickly pulls the same trick on K.O., taking control once again. K.O. unsuccessfully tries to roll through it, but is forced to stand again. He grimaces in pain as Kurtesy works over his bad arm. With his hands extended toward Kurtesy, he raises his middle finger and flips the bird at Kurtesy! Kurtesy is not amused and goes for a clothesline immediately, which K.O. anticipates, dodged, and uses to reverse the wristlock! He wrenches it in hard, but once again, Kurtesy recovers quickly, reversing the wristlock and this time, wrenching the arm hard, flipping K.O. to the mat. Kurtesy quickly goes for a cover but K.O. kicks out at two. Both men stand and receive a light smattering of applause for the technical display. They circle for a moment, K.O. shaking his arm furiously. Ty notices and calls for the tag. Celeste also calls for a tag, and Kurtesy shrugs. Both active men retreat to their corner and tag in their partners.
Copeland:
A surprising technical display from K.O., who went toe to toe with Kurtesy there.
Cohen:
Between his bad arm and his poor history grappling I'm surprised he held in for as long as he did. Ty should have a word with him about bad strategy.
Copeland:
And now a rematch of the Meltdown main event just two shows ago - one that ended rather poorly for Celeste Crimson.
Ty and Celeste are uninterested in anything technical - they immediately start brawling in the middle of the ring. Ty controls it, forcing the scraping and clawing Celeste into the corner. He stuns her with a punch to the jaw and another quick series of punches to the head. Satisfied that she's dazed, Ty backs off and measures...and hits a running high knee! Ty backs off and Celeste stumbles out of the corner. Ty quickly locks in a front facelock...and drops Celeste with a vicious facebreaker DDT! He goes for a quick cover but only gets 2. He stands up to measure his handiwork and smiles, content with having taken control in his style. Ty pulls Celeste up by the hair, causing her to scream and drawing a warning from the ref. Ty takes advantage of his weight advantage to elevate Celeste, dropping her with a rib breaker! He pulls her right back up and drops her once more. Sickeningly, he repeats it once last time and tosses Celeste aside to gloat. The ref checks on Celeste who is clutching at her ribs, but she spits out that she wants to continue. Ty goes for a cover, but his arrogance cost him, and he gets only two. He pulls Celeste up again and tosses her into his corner. He tags in K.O., who positions himself in the middle of the ring. Ty whips Celeste to K.O., who meets her with a dropkick.
Copeland:
What a momentum shift here, as Kurtesy dominated these two before Celeste got on the wrong end of a brawl from Ty, and it has been all Chaos since then.
Cohen:
It was always only a matter of time, Seabass. You just can't beat this unit. They're flawless.
K.O. stalks around the fallen body of Celeste for a moment, considering his next move. He decides to go simple, mounting Celeste and leveling repeated punches to her head. The ref warns him for the closed fists and he backs off after a few of them. He kicks Celeste in the ribs until she turns over, then locks in a single leg crab. He wrenches it in deep, with the pain in Celeste's ribs making it difficult to breathe, compounding the submission's effect. She struggles valiantly for the ropes, scratching and clawing her way to just within arm's length. She struggles mightily as the crowd roars for her, and just clutches the bottom rope! K.O., after a shout from Ty, holds it all the way till four and gets another warning for it. The hold has done its damage on Celeste, who is caught between trying desperately to catch her breath and holding her leg in pain. She uses the ropes to get to her feet, only to be met with a kick in the gut from K.O. He takes control of her and sends her into the ropes, bending down for a back body drop. Shockingly, however, she saves herself, floats over, and hits an Evenflow DDT! Ty is livid on the corner and Kurtesy is ecstatic as their partners both collapse in the center of the ring! They are both slow to their feet, but make it up and stand face to face in the center of the ring. They stand and trade blows back and forth. Suddenly, K.O. breaks the rhythm with a kick attempt, which Celeste dodges, but K.O. rebounds with a spinning wheel kick! Celeste collapses to her knees, and K.O. sets her up for the Butterfly Effect! K.O. spread his arms wide and appears ready to hit it, but he suddenly takes a long look at Ty and hesitates! Ty is screaming furiously to finish her, but the moment of hesitation allows Celeste to pulls K.O.'s legs out from under him, dropping him on his back! She lunges toward Kurtesy's general direction and shockingly tag him in!
Cohen:
What just happened? What just happened!
Copeland:
K.O. hesitated at the critical moment! He could have finished Celeste, but something held him back for half a second, and that was enough to let Kurtesy into this match! It's a new ballgame!
Kurtesy is rolling, dropping K.O. with successive strikes. After three of them drop K.O. and keep him down, Kurtesy shouts and the crowd roars in response! K.O. struggles to his feet and Kurtesy kicks him in the gut, and with no hesitation, nails the Circle of Life! He goes for the pin, but only gets two. Kurtesy backs off and lets K.O. get to his feet. He measures him and nails him with a Dragon Screw. With a distinct look at Ty letting him know that this is payback, he hits a second dragon screw, then a third, as K.O. screams at the pain in his leg. Focusing on the same leg that he just targeted, Kurtesy also pays back K.O. - with his own single leg Boston crab! K.O. struggles for the ropes as hard as Celeste did, but Kurtesy isn't letting up! Slowly, slowly, K.O. does just struggle to the ropes...but Kurtesy pulls him back to the middle of the ring! Ty, left with no other choice, is forced to enter the ring. Kurtesy is just about to get out of the hold to meet Ty when he nails the Consecrated Banishment! It looks like this one is over, but puzzlingly, Ty hurls the severely dazed Kurtesy into the far corner, where Celeste is waiting. He screams at K.O. to finish the job, and then exits the ring.
Copeland:
I can't imagine what we're seeing right now. First. K.O. lets the victory slip away; then Ty throws it aside after hitting the Consecrated Banishment! What's next?
Cohen:
At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised to see Doug Crashin make a surprise appearance!
Celeste tags in with a suspicious look at Ty who exits the ring. K.O. reaches out for a tag but Celeste is on him before he can get anywhere close. K.O. is sprawled out on the mat and Celeste hits a standing moonsault. She goes for the pin but gets only two. She pulls K.O. up and hurls him into the corner. She chases him into the corner and kicks him hard, letting him stagger out of the corner where she meets him with a German suplex, completing with a bridge for the pin. K.O. does just manage to kick out at 2 and Celeste looks like she's moving in for the kill, as she awaits K.O. to stand. The crowd knows it; she's looking for the Spirit Crusher! Suddenly, Ty returns, going for another Consecrated Banishment, but Celeste dodges it! Ty sends himself sprawling into the corner, but the distraction is enough for K.O. to get back to his feet. Kurtesy heads over to the corner to keep Ty occupied and Celeste turns away, looking to nail the Spirit Crusher, but is met instead by a desperate, brutal kick to the gut from K.O., which stuns Celeste as all the pain in her ribs returns. Ty, meanwhile, has been taken out of the ring by Kurtesy. K.O. retreats to the corner and Ty quickly jumps up and tags in. He goes after Celeste, desperately looking for the Consecrated Banishment once more, but again, he's overeager for it, and she dodges. When he rebounds, he's met by the Spirit Crusher! Celeste goes for a pin but suddenly collapses as her ribs take their toll on her, and she can't follow up. Kurtesy is calling for the tag and K.O. is ready, though not eager, as he knows his master is worse off than he is. Ty staggers to K.O. as Celeste is a hair's breadth away from tagging in Kurtesy. Ty could reach K.O...but as Ty looks into K.O.'s face, pain etched across it from the beating he's already taken, Ty recoils his arm and refuses to make the tag! K.O. forgets himself, screams at him to make the tag, but it's too late! Kurtesy is in, and rips Ty away from the corner! Ty gets to his feet and is met by the Prescribed Sedation! Kurtesy makes the cover as K.O. looks on dazed...1...2...3!
Harrys: Here are your winners, the team of Celeste Crimson and Steven Kurtesy!
Copeland:
Ladies and gentlemen, we are as stunned as you are at home. Ty refused to make the tag after taking the Spirit Crusher, and paid for it with a pinfall loss to the man he'll meet in the main event of Kingdom Come.
Cohen:
This is incredible! Unbelievable! Uh, I mean...I'm sure it's all part of Ty's master plan! Sure of it! He meant to lose!
Kurtesy and Celeste retreat from the ring, Kurtesy supporting Celeste on their way out. He clutches his belt and raises it with his free arm. Ty looks to be out cold in the center of the ring as K.O. crouches above him, looking confused and pained as he can't understand what's just transpired. The victorious team stands on the apron and K.O. looks on without understanding as Meltdown fades to black.
