•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• OPENING SEGMENT Outcome: Scars hits as Dark Oasis gets underway with it's opening video package. We get some highlights from Bloodlust, the least Romantic day in all of TXW as everyone was beating each other up. Now that is over, it's the road to War Games where the Savages will headline against the Beasts Of War. Tonight we see a preview of that in a tag team main event. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• OPENING MATCH Johnny Mercer w/ Hyde vs Matthew Taylor Stipulation: Singles Result: The opening match saw the return of Johnny Mercer as he is accompanied by Hyde. Many are also wondering what his connection to Rais is. Has he been working with him ever since being out injured? Rais' grand plan and he has been quiet in recent weeks. Only he seems to have it out for Matthew Taylor more than anyone. The Brit had a lot of work today and he had his eyes set on defeating Mercer here then going on to challenge for Ciara's championship. The match started as Taylor drop kicks Mercer right out the gate. He attacks him when he stands up and hits a snap suplex. Hyde just watches on as he sees no appearance from Kitty by Matthew Taylor's side. Was that done out of safety since Hyde doesn't seem like a type of man who has issues hurting just about anyone. It might also be something to do with Kitty's loss on Reality Check. Some blame Matthew for that. The match continued in Matthew's favour as he hits a slingblade, drags Mercer up and then sets up a powerbomb. He hits one and lifts Mercer up for a second which is an impressive feat of strength, especially considering Mercer is two hundred and forty five pounds. Matthew got him up again hits some forearm clubs and then a European uppercut. He Irish whips him into the corner and runs towards him about to go for the drop kick. He rushes over but Mercer moves meaning Taylor drop kicks nothing but the turnbuckle padding. Mercer seems calm enough into he starts hearing his name coming from the audio system in the arena. He is told to wake the fuck up and he suddenly snacks then goes on the attack, punching the hell out of Matthew Taylor. It became a whole different fight as the two sides of Johnny are seen here. He really does the damage as a cut above the eye of Taylor starts to emerge after all the hits. He does his best to battle back, catching Mercer with another forearm to give himself some breathing room. They exchange blows into Matthew Taylor gets in a gut kick, lifts up Mercer and drops him for a spike brainbuster. Taylor proceeds to climb up and then leaps off for a Phoenix Splash attempt but as he dives, Mercer jumps back up to his feet and catches him in mid air. He then lifts him right up onto his shoulders and hits Mercy Road aka FU and picks up the 1,2,3. Mercer stands over him as Hyde stands beside him. All of a sudden "Rosemary's Baby" hits as the lights go on and many expect another message from Rais. But the veteran is in the ring and he stands in front of Mercer and Hyde. Both just watch as the psychopath reaches down and grabs Matthew Taylor by the throat, lifts him up from the ground then hits the chokeslam. He drags him to the corner and climbs to the turnbuckle then jumps off for a Vader Bomb, completing his finisher the 9 Circles Of Hell. The lights go off for an extended amount of time and when they go back on, all three men are gone as Taylor is left laying which is becoming a common problem when it comes to him and Rais. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• BACKSTAGE SEGMENT Outcome: After the break Taylor has an ice pack and is healing from his attack. Kitty is with him and is happy to have taken his advice to stay out of harm's way this time. Ciara ends up walking over looking smug as she had J.T for company. She makes fun of Taylor and says he is too busy playing with a clown to threaten her championship reign. Taylor says he will not only settle things with Rais but he will also be the one to end Ciara's record breaking run as Global champ. He reminds her of all his achievements in TXW and how he is ready to gain some more. Ciara just wished him good luck yet seemed unimpressed by the next to challenge her for the title. Can Taylor do something where others have failed, including the currently World champion. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• SECOND MATCH The Cult Of Justice (Parker and Raine) vs Vinnie & Blair Stipulation: Tag Team Match Result: The show resumes with the debut of the Cult of Justice. They are the Justice Bringers no more as they have evolved and Parker vows to do things differently. Surprisingly they have recruited Tyrone Marshall into the cult ahead of him fighting for Team CJA at War Games. He has been fighting against them so long but feels the word Justice appeals to him as he feels a lack of Justice exists in TXW, which is how it's left him so far down the card. Tyrone took a seat at the announcers table after having his rant and watches Parker team with his wife Raine against Vinnie and Blair, the former tag team champions. This could play a role in who gets a shot at Wrath and Hope Sweet in the near future since many tag teams are out there, looking to get to them. Parker and Raine work well together which is no surprise, even if Vincent and Blair are not here just to get their asses kicked. They are still looking to reclaim their 'children' known as the tag team championships. Raine is legal with Blair and hits her with a hard clothesline. She drags her up by the hair and grabs hold of her jean shorts then lifts her up, dropping her for a brainbuster. She hisses and then tags in Parker who has Blair at his mercy. He drags her to her feet, lifts her up and then hits his Hack the System finish also known as the Bitter End. Vincent went to make the save but Raine rushes in and hits him with a Sweet Sacrifice [RKO] , which allows her husband to pin Blair for the win. After Tyrone got in the ring and he congratulated his new ally, raising up his hand. Parker got on microphone and vowed to make the Cult of Justice matter by representing CJA's name at War Games. He trashes Kelly's name as he suggests the team representing her should quit before the War Games match even happens. Ashley walks on out and smirks at their comments. She then announces that she will gladly welcome Vincent and Blair onto her team alongside herself and Zoey. Tyrone is too busy looking over and laughing about her choice to see that Vinnie and Blair are back to their feet. Vincent grabs Raine and lifts her up then hits the Welcome To The Underworld on her while Blair takes out Parker with a chick kick before they are both hit by a snapper by Tyrone. Ashley rolled in and kicked Tyrone right between the legs then hit him across the head with the microphone. Team Kelly has made their move. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• BACKSTAGE SEGMENT Outcome: Ashley got backstage with Vinnie and Blair as they end up seeing Kelly Nightingale backstage. The Fearless one still has a protective boot on and is still very much retired after CJA's trick. She questioned if Ashley's choices are the best option. Blair just went over and hugged Kelly as she sighed. Ashley smirked and said she can lead the team could rise up then win. Ash names Tara Jeanne as the final member of the team and suggest she would be Women's champ when joining them. Big words but everyone knows the Rebel has a lot of confidence in herself. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• THIRD MATCH Asian Sensations vs Tara Malice & Dakota Huntress (The Savages) Stipulation: Tag Match Result: Two members of Team Kelly are in action next as the Asian Sensations are up against the Savages Dakota Huntress and Tara Malice, the women's champion. Dakota has been disappointing herself lately so she needed to pull this one out of the bag. Dakota started out in this tag match against Zoey and got the better of her early, showing how much she wants this. She floors her with a Spinning Roundhouse Kick , drags her up and puts her on her shoulders then hits a Death Valley Driver , which almost ended the match if not for Tara Jeanne making the save. Tara's help there got Zoey back into it as she fights back once dragged to her feet. The Black Bird hits a superkick and when Dakota stands, she clotheslines her out of the ring. Zoey backs up and smiles at her partner Tara. She then makes the run and jumps out the ring for a suicide dive, pushing Dakota right into the barricade. The fans are on the side of the Asian Sensations clearly here tonight as they chant their name and wanted to see them overcome the Savages. Once the fight resumes in the ring, Zoey hits a superkick and drop kick combo and brings in Tara Jeanne. They then both drag up Dakota and hit her with a double suplex. Zoey got out just as Tara drags up Dakota then hits the Asian Beauty Kick which is her version of a super kick. The Asian Beauty smiles as the fans cheer her and she follows it up by climbing to the top rope then launching herself off with a Second Chance aka Swanton Bomb. Tara M rushes into the ring after that, headbutts her and then sets up the Pedigree which she calls Tattooed. Move is hit and Zoey gets back in to aid her friend. She brawls with the women's champion but they end up outside the ring. Dakota gets up first as she looks pissed at how it's going. She got up and goes over to the downed number one contender then drags her up. Dakota then sets up and hits the Gang Mugging as she put Tara on her shoulders. GTS is hit as the fans boo as they then see Tara J pinned for the win. Zoey did try to break it up but she is pushed over by Tara as they fight outside. Now she had to sit there and watch as the champion gets in the ring then raises the hand of Dakota as the Savages have won here.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• BACKSTAGE SEGMENT Outcome: There is a shot from backstage where the Savages have gathered around a monitor backstage as they watch Tara and Dakota win. Pierce then turns to Mike Malice and says they need to do the same in the main event. He says it's his chance to show he doesn't need help or cheap tactics to best Chris Slaughter. Their in a cage it's very much two versus two and Pierce has claimed Wrath in the fight. He expects Malice to take care of Slaughter. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
