Winner: Mr. Dangerous

Pyro shoots from the stage and the camera pans through the crowd as the fans are on their feet in excitement for seeing APW. The camera then cuts to ringside with Darren Harvey and Johnny Chase

Harvey: Welcome everyone to THURSDAY NIGHT OVERDRIVE!!!

Chase: We are just 24 days from Shockwave and things are heating up

Harvey: A huge main event we have here tonight and when I say huge, it doesn‘t get any better than this

Chase: A battle of champions, The Undisputed champion Biggs Verses Overdrive Champion Johnny Rebel Vs The Xtreme Champion Nathaniel Havok

Harvey: Lets not forget that CJ Gates will be calling this match with us!

Chase: Don‘t remind me.

"Shooting Star" by Black Stone Cherry begins to play throughout the arena as the fans burst into cheers. After a few seconds, C.J. Gates walks out from the back wearing a pair of jeans, a black "Go Big or Go Home" T-shirt, and his trademark cowboy hat. He pauses at the top of the ramp nodding his head in approval of the roaring crowd before he begins to make his way down.

Harvey: And here he is, the man who is looking to take the title from Biggs at Shockwave.

Chase: I wouldn't be too sure about that, Harvey. Biggs is a fighter and he'll do anything to keep that title around his waist.

Gates climbs up the ring steps and enters the ring, receiving a microphone and pacing a circle around the ring. The fans are still cheering as Gates pauses in the middle of it.

C.J. Gates: Last week didn't go as I would have liked. I came to Overdrive thinking that Johnny Rebel wouldn't care about how he won his Overdrive title. I figured that I was set for a one on one match with Johnny Rebel. But of course, Biggs couldn't let that happen.

Instead, Biggs made it his business to make last week hell. He made it his business to try and stack the odds against me. But as we all saw, he turned out to be highly unsuccessful. As we saw, his efforts to make my night hell, came up short and, instead, he ended up proving my point. That he and Rebel are both incapable of winning a match without resorting to some sort of underhanded tactics.

The crowd boos as Gates nods his head. As he raises the microphone up to speak again, "Spaceman" by the Killers begins to play and the boos grow louder. Gates lowers the microphone and rolls his eyes as the APW Undisputed champion Biggs walks out from the back. He has a slight smirk on his face and pauses at the top of the ramp to shake his head.

Biggs: CJ, by now I thought you'd have learned that we don't begin Overdrive's with the number one contender! You haven't earned the right to start off this show until you have this belt around your waist!

Biggs pats the Undisputed Title belt clasped around his waist and begins to walk his way down the ramp, his smirk growing.

Biggs: And, also, I'd have thought that you would have realized that what I do and how I do it, is none of your business. You can cry foul and preach this pure way of doing things, what you call the proper way to fight, but I rightly don't care. I merely do the things the need to be done to win matches. It's the Machiavellian in me, I guess. You're just jealous that you're held to some weak, non-existent, self-made code of honor, and I'm not! Like I said weeks ago, there's no replay in professional wrestling.

Biggs chuckles as he climbs into the ring, Gates keeping his eyes on his future opponent.

C.J. Gates: So is that why you came out here? To rub it in that you can get away with whatever you want while people like me, the ones who wrestle for these fans, fight with honor and get screwed out of rightful shots. Is that it?

Biggs: Not entirely. I really came down here because this is my show, and I should be the one to open it up. Not some cowboy from the north who thinks he has what it takes to win a title on his own. I mean, it's great that you can beat three people in one night, but that doesn't mean you have what it takes to win my title. That doesn't mean that you've put in the work to win my belt. I've earned this. I've worked hard to get to this point.

C.J. Gates: Worked hard? How so? All I've seen, is you cheating your way to victories. And sure, I turned a blind eye before, when you were throwing aside the Contourage left and right, but that was then. That was when you were facing people who were worse then you at playing on the wrong side of the tracks. But now? You're in a whole different bracket, Biggs.

Biggs responds to Gates in an feigned indignant tone.

Biggs: It's hard work to be able to cheat as well as I do! Come on now!

C.J. Gates is not amused by Biggs' mockery.

C.J. Gates: I'll let you in on something, Biggs. There was a point before Test for the Best where I was hoping you would win the title so that we could finally have a match that wasn't shadowed in Chris Cyrus' hate. I was hoping that we would be able to show everyone what we could do when given the chance. There was a time when...when I actually respected you for what you were able to do with that Overdrive title, and for the help you gave me against Sally. But that time is long gone, now, Biggs.

Biggs: Why? Because you can't handle a little cheating? You can't stomach the fact that there are people out there that don't play by the same rules as you and your family when inside of that ring? Well, then that's fine. But don't stand there and run me down through the mud, because you and I both know that you would cheat to if you were faced with a similar situation.

Gates smiles.

C.J. Gates: You see, that's where you're wrong because I prefer to earn my wins. To work hard to be able to adorn myself with titles like you have been able to. I like to know that when all is said and done, I busted my ass to get where I am. And I have. And I've done it without cheating.

Biggs: Sure, you've gotten this far without it, but who's to say that when you're faced with the impossible task of pinning me at Shockwave, you won't reach down a little deeper and pull out some sort of cheap victory. A handful of tights, or using the ropes for elevation. Doing what you have to do to get ahead?

Gates shakes his head and takes a few steps away, turning his back to Biggs. The next part Biggs says with complete conviction and somberness, looking right into the back of C.J.'s head.

Biggs: Doing anything to survive.

Gates turns back around just in time to see the APW Undisputed title coming right at his head. Gates is unable to duck and is dropped to the mat as Biggs begins to stomp away on the number one contender to a chorus of boos from the crowd. Biggs picks Gates up and drops the title to the mat before dropping Gates with the inverted overdrive!

Harvey: Biggs just nailed Gates with the Crashing Down to Earth!

Chase: I guess he didn't take kindly to Gates losing respect for him.

Biggs gets up, picking up his title and stands over Gates, leaning down to shout a few words at him. The camera picks up Biggs yelling, ”You shouldn't have turned your back on me, CJ! You shouldn't have turned your back!” After one last stomp he turns and raises the title high into the air with a cocky grin on his face as the fans continue to boo.

Harvey: No love for the Undisputed champion here tonight.

Chase: And the night's only just begun.

"Spaceman" begins to play as Biggs exits the ring and struts his way up the ramp, while Gates slowly comes to in the ring and overdrive goes to hits first commercial

[President Jeff]

The arena is anxious as the crowd goes quiet, the camera zooming in on the video screen where the handsome face of Diamante Valentine can be seen slicking back his hair and laughing. Suddenly the silence is broken by Shaman's Harvest's "Broken Dreams", followed by loud boos from males and big cheers from females as Diamante Valentine steps through the curtain with his head held high. Wearing a Fine-custom made suit Valentine makes his way down the ramp, stopping to kiss a female on the hand, causing her to faint and fall. He walks up the ring steps, slicking his hair back as he does, before stepping through the ropes.

Nero soaks in the admiration of the APW Universe as he is soon handed a microphone

Nero: Cut the music…(Looks around the arena) See It’s no secret last week was a career defining match for me, Because I walked into the match the Xtreme Champion and ended leaving without the Xtreme title…And I know what you’re thinking, Am I out here to bitch & moan about losing and about getting my rematch…But in all honesty I can’t accept a rematch nor can I complain about losing to the better man Nathanial Havok…Havok I want to hear me loud & clear, You gave me everything you had and then some…So for that I thank you because I wouldn’t had lost that belt until I would’ve thought of retiring it but you did beat me…So congratulations, Now onto why I am out here

The crowd dies down and as they anticipate the announcement

Nero: I Diamante Valentine... (Starts to rub face) have decided to leave APW...

The crowd gives boos as it’s no longer a mixed reaction

Nero: The reason being to the fact that my Ex-wife and I are having a baby, and it’s only fair I be with her during the pregnancy as I am proud to become a soon to be Father...So with this decision I would like to thank all my fans and even all of my non-supporters…I honestly don’t know when I will return but I promise that upon which I do return I will become a champion once more...Thank you Damien, Billy, Mannie, Kingston, Yoko…and even President Jeff as much I despise him, He’s allowing me to leave and even though I know he gets pleasure of seeing one of the RSM members leaving I will still thank him…So with that being said could please play my music one more time…

Nero waves to the APW Universe before leaving the ring, while walking up the ramp Nero is greeted by all the members of the Red Shield Mafia as they embrace him, and the APW Universe gives applause & chant’s “Please Come Back”

Overdrive fades backstage

The scene opens up backstage on President Jeff going over his financial situations, but clearly knowing that everything he is looking at is not helping one damn bit to solve the problem that has been placed on his desk like a cheap paper weight. Level One can not participate in any matches and will be pretty much on the sidelines for two months unless if he could think of something quick to solve his financial issues. A loud knock on the door causes Jeff to jump a bit from his leather office chair, but none the less he looks to the door with a slight bit of frustration. He had asked earlier to not be disturbed, but apparently no one got the memo on that, and instead of simply shooing the person away, Jeff decided on a different avenue to a solution.

President Jeff: Come in.

He growled, as the door opened, and a man entered in off screen. Jeff looks surprised, he rubs his eyes, and then looks down to his desk as an object is thrown on to it. Jeff picks up the object which used to belong to a certain short lived APW Megastar, the mask of Nova. For a second, Jeff double takes, and then puts the mask down, looking off screen at the man and then back at the mask.

President Jeff: It was you all along...to say the least I'm surprised.

The scene cuts back to ringside where both Chase and Harvey look confused.

Chase: Nova's mask...I wonder what this is all about?

Harvey: I'm sure we will find out, Chase. Anyway....on to the next match!

'Not A Stranger To The Danger' By Charlie Sheets blast throughout the pa system in arena. Moment's later the light's in the arena start flashing back and forth from red and black as Colin Calen walk's out from the backstage area to the top of the stage. Once he reaches his spot on the stage, he raises his arms u[ toward the roof as pyro explodes all around him. A short moment later, he removes his jacket and runs down the aisle and slides into the ring. Taunting the crowd some more, he cracks his neck and flexes his arms and hands as the pa system fades then he gets ready for the match.

Paige: The following match-up is a non-title triple-threat match, scheduled for one-fall! Introducing first, weighing in at 171 pounds… Colin Calen!

The arena lights go dim before "White Limo" blasts through the arena. Bright pink and white strobes then flash around the entry way as Aeris King steps out from the back. She walks out to the middle of the stage, glancing from side to side at the fans before she runs her hands up her body before holding her hands out to either side. She then winks into the nearest camera before heading down towards the ring. Aeris walks down the ramp, looking at the fans before she gets to ringside. She then walks to the side of the ring before jumping up on the apron. Aeris struts to the center of the apron before turning, shaking her booty at the fans as she holds the top rope then flipping herself over the ropes into the ring. She rolls up to her feet before turning and posing once more for the fans. Aeris then goes to the corner, stretching on the ropes as she waits for the match to start.

Paige: Next, weighing in at 119 pounds…Aeris King!

The lights dim as the opening notes begin playing. Spotlights show reflections of playing cards along the entrance. Gambler, wearing a jacket with an Ace of Hearts of Jack of Diamonds, takes his time strolling out to the ring, deck of cards between both hands. At random intervals, Gambler tosses a few cards at members of the audience.

When Gambler makes it to the ring, he slides under the bottom rope. Gambler goes to one knee while reaching into a jacket pocket, pulling out a pair of die. Gambler rolls the die on the mat, getting a "7" from the roll.

The lights come all the way on as Gambler gets to both feet, making sure to take his jacket off.

Paige: And finally, weighing in at 237 pounds…he is the APW Suicidal Champion… The Gambler!

Colin Calen vs. Aeris King vs. The Gambler

[/u]


The bell rings, as each of the three Overdrive competitors take up a respective corner of the ring, waiting to see who makes the first strike. Suddenly, the Gambler turns towards Aeris, and begins to slowly walk towards her, clenching his fists. Colin soon starts moving towards her as well, and Aeris goes on the offense! She rushes forward, hitting a few swift shows on the Gambler, before ducking a shot from Colin, and spins, slamming Colin with a discus forearm smash! With Colin staggering, Aeris grabs the Gambler, and locks in a necklock, before slamming him with some knee shots. Aeries spins Gambler as if she’s going for a swinging neckbreaker, but Colin nails her with a dropsault, sending her into the Gambler and over the top rope to the floor below! Colin takes a moment to raise his arms up in success, but the Gambler unexpectedly grabs Colin, and nails him with a Double Arm DDT! The Gambler, still lying on the mat, says “Not your luck day today, whippersnapper” to the downed Colin Calin!

Harvey: Colin wanted to showboat taking down Aeris, but instead made a rookie mistake and took his eyes off the Gambler!

Chase: Seriously, celebrating taking down a girl? Is this the playground?

Harvey: If Sally Talfourd ever heard that, she’d hold your head in the sandbox!

The Gambler stands up, and begins to lift up Colin, but Colin hits the Gambler’s stomach with a few decisive shots, making him lean over in pain. Colin goes on the offensive, hitting some chops on Gambler in the corner, followed by a back-up, and then a cartwheel back elbow smash into the Gambler! The Gambler stumbles forward, dazed from the hit, and Colin runs off the ropes before nailing the Gambler with an enziguri! The crowd lightly applauds his athleticism as he kips up. Colin pushes the Gambler off the ropes, and Irish Whips him, before going for a roundhouse kick, but the Gambler holds onto the ropes! Colin rushes forward, but Colin kicks him in the stomach, and uses the ropes to pull himself up an hit the “Ace in the Hole” (Fameasser) on Colin! The Gambler goes for the pin…

Aeries King breaks up the pin with a swift kick to the Gambler’s head!

Harvey: Aeries King cannot be happy with the match almost ending without her right there!

Chase: Hey, if I was the one who was getting pinned, I’d prefer the match end some other way!

The Gambler rises, taking a few kicks and forearm shots from Aeris, before taking an exceptionally hard kick to the stomach. Aeris then senses her opportunity, and nails the Gambler with a bicycle kick to send him down! She hesitantly looks over at Calin, who looks at the Gambler, before running into send a kick to the old man’s ribs to keep him down! Both Aeris and Colin lift up the Gambler, and Irish Whip him, before both spin and nail him with a kick! The Gambler goes down, but not for long, as both Aeris and Colin lift up the Gambler, and manage to lift him into the air for a suplex! Aeris moves in for a pin, but Colin yanks her off, and the two begin to get into a shouting match! “I’ve done all the work” yells Colin, but Aeris disagrees. Both then see the Gambler getting up, and reluctantly go after him. They Irish Whip him, and as he rebounds, Colin ducks, causing the Gambler to slam Aeris with a huge clothesline! Colin then goes for a roundhouse kick, but the Gambler grabs his leg, and stomps on his foot, causing Colin to jump around in pain! The Gambler, using his ring smarts, turns and tosses Colin to the floor below!

Chase: Looks like the temporary alliance between Aeris and Colin was a little shorter than we thought it would be!

Harvey: You could argue that Colin was just trying to protect himself…but no one at this table is arguing that!

The Gambler turns, and stomps Aeris into the canvas before lifting her up. He brings her in close, and slams her down with a huge shot right to the face! The Gambler looks over, and sees Colin trying to grab a chair, but the referee is blocking him! They begin a fierce argument, and the Gambler rolls out of the ring, rushing in to slam Colin with a clothesline! The Gambler hammers on Colin some more…but suddenly, Aeris moonsaults off the top rope, taking out the Gambler, causing them both to land on Colin! Aeris lifts up, and throws the Gambler into the ring, before kicking Colin right in the ribs! As the Gambler gets up, Aeris runs in and slams him with a shining wizard! Aeris makes the pin…

Colin breaks up the pin!

Harvey: Yeah, definitely no love lost here!

Chase: Do you love the people that beat you? Aeris needs to wrap this little Colin problem up!

Colin lifts up Aeris, but she quickly breaks his hold and slams a few forearms into him. Colin then backs up against the ropes, and runs in for a kick, but Aeris ducks it in a Matrix-like motion! Colin then runs off the ropes, but Aeris springboards off the ropes herself, and slams Colin with the Last Kiss (Springboard Kick)!

Winner: Aeris King[/center]

Aeris celebrates her victory as we go to commercial

[President Jeff]

Cindy Shannon is backstage in the interview area.

Cindy: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time, the APW Undisputed Champion, Biggs.

Loud boos can be heard coming from the arena as Biggs steps into frame, already dressed in his ring gear, with the APW Undisputed Championship belt around his waist. He snatches the mic from Cindy.

Biggs: I know that a lot of you are upset to see me so much on my show, APW Overdrive, but allow me to remind all of you who seem to think there's an oversaturation of yours truly on this fine program as to why I'm featured so heavily.

At this point, Biggs starts singing, purposefully bad, to the tune of Queen's “We Are the Champions.”

Biggs: I am the champion, my friends!
And I'll keep on fighting till the end!
I am the champion!
I am the champion!
No time for losers
Cause I am the champion of the WORLD!

Biggs laughs it up as Cindy tries to take the mic back.

Biggs: Run off, Cindy. You aren't needed, this is my show!

Cindy kind of scowls at Biggs, but does as she is told.

Biggs: Finally, I don't have to put up with that stinky fish smell! All of you must be wondering why I feel the need to talk some more tonight. I mean, I've already leveled everyone's favorite member of the Village People with my title belt, so what more could I have to say? Well, I realized that earlier tonight, because of C.J.'s attempts at upstaging me, I didn't really get the proper chance to address my opponents here tonight, Nathaniel Havok and Johnny Rebel. Now I'll get to them in a minute, but I got a quick question for C.J. So Ceej, what's the hardest part of being a cowboy? Hmm?

Biggs flashes his trademark smirk.

Biggs: Telling your parents that you're gay! HAHAHAHA! But in all seriousness, C.J., if you think for one moment that your little talk about honor is going to change the way I approach our match at Shockwave, you're sorely mistaken my friend. Because the way I see it, you took away any reason for me to show you respect when you turned your back on me. I am the freakin' APW Undisputed Champion for a reason, and believe me, C.J., when we face off one-on-one in that ring, you'll wish that I was only good at cheating! Because C.J., I'm skilled in so many more areas than just being able to pull a fast one on the referees. Cheating is merely one of the tools in my sizable arsenal. I use it to enhance my game, not as my only game. But since you seem to want me to prove that I'm the bad guy so much, belive me, I will take any and all opportunities to cheat during our match. I'll take every shortcut I can, just to prove to you that when you are capable of cheating at the level that I do, it's an artform. Granted, it may be one you're unable to appreciate with your limited taste, but you know what they say, art isn't for everyone.

Biggs smirks again before continuing to speak.

Biggs: Now onto my opponents tonight, Johnny Rebel and Nathaniel Havok. This past week, both of you had less than nice things to say about yours truly, and while that was to be expected, the viciousness and nastiness of what you had to say almost hurt my feelings! I say almost, because quite frankly, it doesn't matter what you two jackwads had to say, because tonight in that ring, I'll prove why the two of you are merely Overdrive and Xtreme Champions, respectively, and why I am the APW UNDISPUTED CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!

The fact is, the two of you can talk a big game, but when the lights are on bright, can you wrestle a big game!? I know, J-Reb, that you won't be able to rely on the same things that got you the win three weeks ago, and granted, neither will I, because Havok will be there to break up any funny business on our parts. And Havok, I'm counting on you doing something really stupid to try and show off how supposedly great you are, that it'll effectively take you out of the match. I can honestly say going into this match that I'm none to worried about being able to establish my dominance over you two, because let's face it, neither one of you are like me, in that I am quite simply OUT OF THIS WORLD!

Biggs drops the mic and walks off camera.

The camera cuts back out ringside.

Paige: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

The beginning of BMF airs through the area for a couple of seconds building anticipation, Young Mannie pulls a Black&Mild from behind his ear, he lights it and the arena lights cut off.

Paige: Making his way to the ring, accompanied by Damien Walker, weighing in at 220 pounds, from Washington D.C., he is a member of the Red Shield Mafia, Young Mannie!

Harvey: Mannie didn't seem to be too worried about this match up this week. He had hardly anything to say to his opponent.

Chase: Well, he had more to say than Voodoo Hoodoo did!

As he walks down the ramp, his entire outfit glows in the dark as he holds his hands out while puffing smoke in the air, While the crowd sings the lyrics of the song at the top of their lungs.

As “She’s Gone Critical” by Bang Camero begins to play, Voodoo Hoodoo walks out from behind the entranceway with “Domo” in his hand as the crowd cheers for him. He slightly lifts “Domo” up to his face and begins to talk to him whilst he walks down the aisle.

Paige: And his opponent, weighing in at 190 pounds, from Behind the Seven-Eleven, Voodoo Hoodoo!

Sprinting around the ring, he snatches the timekeeper’s chair away and sets it up to where it’s facing the ring. After sitting “Domo” down onto the chair, Voodoo Hoodoo slides under the ring ropes and sits in the middle of the ring, rocking back and forth as he awaits the match to start. The ref calls for the bell, DING! DING! DING!

Voodoo Hoodoo vs. Young Mannie

[/u]

Voodoo starts the match by rushing at Mannie, going for a Running Crossbody. Mannie ducks it, and as Voodoo Hoodoo gets to his feet, Mannie rolls him up from behind, grabbing a handful of tights, 1

Winner: Young Mannie[/center]

Paige: Here is your winner, by pinfall, Young Mannie!

Chase: Mannie won with minimul effort here tonight!

Harvey: I'll be honest, that wasn't much of a match at all! Voodoo Hoodoo is pissed that he lost in that manner!

Voodoo Hoodoo is spazzing out a bit in the ring as Damien Walker rushes in and raises Mannie's hand instead of the ref. “BMF” blares as Mannie takes a joint from Damien and lights up, hitting the joint before exiting the ring calmly. Voodoo Hoodoo is expressing his frusteration with the ref, signaling that Mannie had a handful of tights. Mannie just shrugs off the boos as he heads up the ramp.

[President Jeff]

POST AFTER MANNie MATCH


]#SIMPLY F'N PUT!

A recorded voice comes over the loudspeaker and "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple blasts over the PA. Johnny Rebel comes out in a gold robe shimmering in the lights. "SIMPLY PUT" is written in silver on the back. His blonde goatee is neatly trimmed and blonde hair is freshly cut; his eyes hidden behind dark sunglasses.

#IT'S TIME TO PAY THE PRICE!

The crowd has come unglued in their hatred for Rebel. He gets to the ring and pulls a cameraman down to the ground and on all fours as Rebel uses him as a stepping-stone to get in the ring. He takes off his robe to reveal his gold tights and tasseled white boots. He poses on the second turnbuckle with the APW Overdrive Championship held above his head.

Rebel: Thank you! Thank you!

The fans continue to let Rebel know what they think about him as Rebel nods and waves his hands from side to side.

Rebel: It sure feels good to be home! Back on Thursday Night Overdrive!

He points towards the Overdrive banner floating above the ring as the mention of the show gets a little bit of a cheap pop but nothing to write home about.

Rebel: It’s been two weeks since I walked away from this ring as the Overdrive Champion. Last week I had the unfortunate privilege, and I use the word loosely, of having to face C.J. Gates. Things didn’t end up the way I had planned as Biggs had to shift the focus back to himself. That’s the problem with people who are addicted to the spotlight—they can’t give it up!

Fans aren’t pleased with the mention of Biggs, who just a few short weeks ago dethroned the most popular champ in APW history.

Rebel: But lucky for all of you, I’m not going to fall victim to his games any longer! As you all now know, I’ve rebranded this company after my own image! Tonight, we begin the unveiling of Johnny Rebel Pro Wrestling

Rebel applauds his own comment as banners begin falling all throughout the arena with the brand new JRPW logo and Johnny’s face plastered all over them. Red, white and blue balloons fall from the ceiling creating quite the atmosphere. You couldn’t wipe the smile off of Rebel’s face with a semi.

Rebel: That’s right! It’s about time somewhere around here stepped up to show this tired organization what a true champion looks like in 2011! No more of this ridiculous Spaceman getup or suicidal Satanist’s who claim to hear voices. You see, I’m a simple man—I see things in black and white. The rest of this garbage does nothing for me and does nothing for all of these simpletons around the ring right now! My promise to each and every one of you that I will provide you with the non-stop entertainment that you’ve paid top dollar to see! No longer will you be subjected to the nonsense that has run its course around these parts. From now on—nothing but the best that the professional wrestling world has to offer! Tonight, we start to clean house!

He hops up on the second turnbuckle and holds his Overdrive Championship with one hand held high, pointing at it with his other hand.

Rebel: Which is why tonight, I will make my first decision as the face of the franchise. Tonight, I have removed myself from the main event! Biggs, nor Havok, are worthy of being in that ring with me. As the Overdrive champion—I demand that they prove themselves before I grace them with my presence!

The fans are a little shocked at Rebel’s announcement; but the reaction is mixed. Rebel shakes his head yes after jawing back and forth with a fan sitting in the front row. However, crashing Rebel’s own party is the president of APW, Jeff who has appeared on the big screen.

President Jeff: Hey Rebel!

Rebel refuses to look in Jeff’s direction and continues strutting around the ring like nothing has changed.

President Jeff: Over here!

Rebel slowly turns his head towards the screen and his trademark smile has turned in to quite the scowl.

Rebel: Not now, Jeff. This is my moment!

President Jeff: For the past few weeks I’ve had to listen to you run your mouth about my company! I’ve built the APW from the ground up and to put in your terms, simply put, I’m sick and tired of your act! Some of professional wrestling’s best have walked through those curtains and paved the way so that idiots like you can stand in the middle of that ring! You’re living in a fantasyland—there is only one person who has absolute say of what happens in the APW and that’s me!

The fans pop at Jeff putting his foot down. Rebel laughs and drops his sunglasses down to the bridge of his nose, peering ever so slightly at an extremely upset Jeff.

Rebel: Jeff, Jeff, Jeff. What you don’t realize is you have no leverage here! See this [pointing to the Overdrive Championship]? It has my name on it! And since we’re here in the middle of Overdrive, I think that means this is my show! I don’t need to hear any of your lectures on how you’re the boss—it all comes across as blah, blah, blah! I make the rules and I run this place! Now if you want to back your champion in to a corner—I can promise you one thing: it’s not going to end well for you! I would advise you to step down!

President Jeff: Let me promise you one thing tonight, Johnny. If you don’t show up for your match against Havok and Biggs tonight, you can kiss that Overdrive championship goodbye! There are plenty of suitable contenders in the back that are dying to get their hands on that belt!

Rebel: Now you’re just grasping at straws. You honestly believe there is anyone in the back that can shake a stick at the things I’ve accomplished in this ring? There is nobody that can hold my jock—that is my promise to you! If you think you’re just going to sit back behind a screen and scare me in to doing something I don’t really do than you’ve got another thing coming! But you know I’m not an unreasonable man. I’ll consider competing tonight simply for one reason—Biggs has a size twelve boot with his name on it waiting for him for what he did last week. So, we’ll just leave up to fate. Maybe you’ll see Johnny Rebel tonight or maybe you won’t? Either way, it’s the dawning of a new day in the APW, ahem, JRPW. Get with the program or get out of the way!

President Jeff: Simply put, a promise is a promise, Rebel! If we don’t see you in that ring tonight—I’ll be waiting in my office for you to turnover that championship!

“Raining Blood” by Slayer plays as Jeff signs off and Rebel stands in the middle of the ring, possibly strapping the Overdrive Championship around his waist for the last time.

Chase:I love it! Somebody is finally standing up to Jeff and his shenanigans!

Harvey: Surely, Rebel won’t give up that championship without a fight, would he?

Chase: I don’t know, Darren! He sounded pretty sure of himself to me! I guess we’ll see tonight!

[President Jeff]

Paige: The following contest is scheduled for one fall where the winner will be crowned the #1 contender for the Overdrive Championship

The lights Dim down as The vocal introduction to the music is played. Blue and silver lights illuminate the Entrance way and Pyro goes off as soon as the Music kicks in. "The Real Show" Terry Marvin makes his way down the ramp jawing and messing with the fans all the way down.

Paige: Introducing first, weighing in at 245 pounds, TERRY MARVIN

He rolls into the ring and poses on the turnbuckle, holding his arms out like the people should warship him.

The super crunchy power chords of Walk by Pantera begins to blast over the arena sound system as the man known as Khaos steps out onto the entrance ramp. He is dressed in a worn out pair of Levi jeans cutoff to make shorts, black knee and elbow pads, a Misfits t-shirt with the sleeves cutoff and wrestling shoes covered by black kick pads.

Paige: Standing six feet four inches tall and weighing in at two hundred and seventy-five pounds. He hails from Hell, Michigan by way of the Jackson State Penitentiary. He is Khaos!!!!!!!!!!!!

Khaos makes his way towards the ring ignoring the cheers and jeers being launched at him by the fans. His focus is on one thing only, the ring and the damage he is about to inflict inside of it. Once he reaches ringside he climbs onto the apron using the steel ring steps and wipes his feet on the apron as a sign of respect for the business before entering the squared circle between the top and middle ropes. Slowly he walks to his corner and leans against the turnbuckles awaiting the sounding of the bell.

The house lights dim as the Doctor P remix of Example's “Last One Standing” starts to blare through the PA system. Purple, Yellow, and blue strobe lights start to flash on the stage as Zachary Rodell rushes out from behind the curtain. He heads over to the left side of the stage and throws his arms up to a light cheer from the crowd, before rushing to the other side and doing the same. The welcome isn't as warm as he expected, but most of the fans have no clue who he is so it will have to do for now. He makes it back to the center of the stage just as Example belts out the lyrics for which the song is named. Zach crouches slightly just as the words last ones standing are repeated. Then, right as the music hits the forty second mark and the beat drops, he hops up as purple and yellow pyro sprays up on either side of the ring.

Paige: Introducing next, from San Antonio Texas. ZACHARY RODELL

He then makes his way down the ramp and to the ring as the music continues, slapping hands with the kids in attendance – he's pretty sure a few of the adults slipped their hands in for a slap as well.

The lights go down as "Superstar" begins playing over the PA System. A spotlight shines down at the entrance of the aisle, where Bobby Bodacious is kneeling while wearing a robe. The robe is sky blue with his name on it.

Paige: And finally, from Beverly hills California, BOBBY BODACIOUS!

Bodacious stands up completely after approximately 20 seconds. As Bodacious heads to the ring, he makes sure to completely snob the fans. Bodacious enters the ring, where he slowly takes his robe off, handing it off to an unknown employee at ringside. While handing off the robe, Bodacious makes sure to lecture the employee to be careful with the robe.

Khaos music begins to play and he celebrates his victory and we cut to a video


A Video package begins to play

Deep Voice: Once upon a time, there was a man that revolutionized the APW Xtreme Championship.

The ladder is still set up and Branden see’s his opportunity. Branden starts climbing it and reaching. Slade comes to and gets into the ring and starts crawling towards the ladder. Branden is half way up and still reaching and Slade gets to the bottom of the ladder and pulls himself up. Branden see’s this and Branden continues to climb and reach. He gets to the top and Slade is half way up. Slade reaches for Branden, but Branden has his hand on the title and unhooks it.

Ding Ding Ding

Winner and New APW Xtreme Champion: BRANDEN HARVEY!

Voice: He ran roughshod over APW for months.

Harvey is slow to get up but lifts Ebon to his feet, taking him towards the broken stretcher. Harvey tries to set it up but it falls over. Frustrated that he’s so close Harvey kicks it over then snap mares Ebon onto it. Ebon’s head hangs over the side as Harvey jumps up and comes down with a leg drop. Harvey gets up again and get another stretcher . Harvey sets it up and slides Ebon on it and starts to wheel him up the ramp.

Beckett: I can’t believe it but Harvey may actually win this.

Harvey savors the moment as the finish is right there in front of him, pushing Ebon over the line! DING! DING! DING!

Winner: “Supersonic” Branden Harvey

Voice: He stole the show at Rasslemania.

Harvey stands atop the ladder, pointing to the fans, and then looking down at Knuckles, giving a cutthroat gesture before leaping off...

Both: SONIC BOOM!!![/color]

Voice: What happened?

Jeff: Branden, you've been running through my building all night with you're little dementia. And I'm sorry to say we can't have that. I've talked to a lawyer and he reminded me of a clause I put in your contract. That clause says that if you come down with a mental disease while working here, I have the right to fire you without pay. I'm putting that clause into action right now. You are a liability to my roster and yourself, Branden Harvey, you may win the Jobber of the Year award, but now you leave me no choice, YOUR FIRED!

Voice: But now he's back.

Branden hits the top turnbuckle and dives off with a Sonic Boom to Kash. He then locks in "That 70's Hold" on Borderland as Gambler, Bobby, and Blade all cheer him on. They continue to beat down the new champs until security comes out to the ring.

Voice: With a whole new attitude.

Harvey: I'm "Supersonic" no more. I'm sick and tired of trying to please you ungrateful fans. Each and every one of you let me get fired. Blade, Bobby, Gambler, they did something about it. They got my job back and gave me the resources to make our sadistic president pay for what he did to me. I'm going to use these resources to destroy the company he built. I'm going to use my resources to destroy APW.

Voice: Branden Harvey returns to Overdrive next week.

Overdrive goes to commercial

[President Jeff]

The lights dim in the arena as the APW masses abruptly change from a chorus of happy fans to a groan of bewilderment and confusion. The Action-tron bursts to static as the fans jump a bit as digits, letters, and weird symbols begin to parade across the screen in random intervals.

Chase: The hell is this crap?

Harvey: I don't know, but clearly this was not part of tonight's normal programming.

The images on the screen abruptly stop as words are formed on the screen glowing an ery blue.

He's Coming to Save Us...

More static quickly follows as the screen bursts to exuberant life on a black room with a single light swishing back and forth displaying a man in the shadows. The screen bursts to static again as the weird symbols, digits, and numbers reappear, stopping to form more eery glowing blue letters.

A Champion is defined by his actions...

The man reappears on the screen as he lifts his head it appears to be the wrestler known as Nova, this gets a slight pop from the fans. There are not many Nova fans out there, but the few that are in the arena make themselves known. More static, more cryptic jumbling, and then more words.

Baby...*static* Don't....*static*....Fear....*static* The....*static*

[/color]

The screen bursts to static and goes back to the man who clutches the sides of his head, lets out a howl of pain, and then rips the mask off as the lightbulb shatters sending the room into darkness. A voice fills the PA system.

Voice: Reaper...

All of the lights go up as the fans all ignite into a chorus of jubilation as Harvey and Chase look at each other the screen bursts to static and the fans all stand up as the familiar words play out over the PA system from the whispering female voice.

Female Voice: Baby don't fear the Reaper!

"For the Love of the Game" by Pillar begins to explode in all of its' glory over the PA system as all the lights begin to flash red, white, and blue as a familiar figure steps out on to the entrance ramp. The fans all begin to salute and chant "Weatherlight" as Pence grins and then salutes back at the fans. For a few seconds he holds the salute, but then finishes it off as several pyros erupt around the entrance ramp. Pence begins to walk down the entrance ramp slapping hands and posing for pictures for the fans. Pence doesn't waste any time grabbing a microphone from the announcer's table and then makes his way into the ring. Pausing as he gets to the center and then goes down on one knee. All the lights dim and a single spotlight falls down upon him. The music begins to die down and Pence is still kneeling listening to the cheers of the masses, which sound sort of like a crazed lunatic in a straight jacket who has just escaped from an asylum. Pence brings the mic to his lips and lets his voice shine true.

Pence: Ladies and gentlemen...I am not worthy of these respects.

Pence stands up and all of the lights come up, Pence begins to pace around the ring, looking at the fans as he does so, and continuing to speak as well.

Pence: I left...about two to three months ago if memory serves...right? I mean these cheers should not be for me, but for Jeff for making the arrangements for my successful return to the ring or rather Nova's successful return to the ring. I find it quite odd...the human mind that is. How at one moment or another you can just...forget everything. A bump on the head can service to bring such things to occur, but sometimes...memories just come back. You see, I was content to be your masked hero, but my mind didn't want that. You see...one morning I was sitting calmly in a mild state of comatose due to my meditation and then bam! I was back and by back, I mean I woke up from what seemed like a dream or rather a nightmare. A nightmare in which the heroes of this show ceased to exist to be replaced by assholes...dicks...money grubbing whores...and of course false messiahs. I, of course, came to find that this nightmare was the reality that I had woken up to...APW has literally turned from being a place where good triumphs over evil to a land of corruption and damnation. Sure...you have some heroes still fighting the good fight, C.J. Gates for instance, but one man can not change the fate of a show that is spiraling out of control. A show that will surely be ran over by the shadows of vile intention that have slowly, but surely taken roost on my beloved show.

It is why I stand before you now...it is why I feel I am needed now...it is why I think it is time for me to make my stand to help all that is good.

"Weatherlight" chants fill the air as Pence pauses and then looks over to the announcer table and then back to the arena.

Pence: I am not here to cash in my past accolades, no, we have been down that road, and all it leads to is people getting their feet stepped on and people feeling hurt. No, I am here to do what I have to do to get the job done, and that job is to take out any asshole who the people...my fans, deem to be a vile cancerous swine because that is what I do... because I am the people's weapon. A sword to smite the villainy that has taken up roost and I assure you that...in your darkest hour, in this chaotic time which has been thrust into your lap...I will prevail, and bring justice back to this show. Regardless of who I have to fight to achieve my goals, I will succeed...because my mission is greater than that of petty status or belts that have been corrupted by the slanderous touch of those that have spat on the name of righteousness. My mission is a mission of liberation, of rebirth, and once my mission is completed, I will assure you fans that this show will be right back where it belongs. It will be the show that we all love once again, this I swear.

I await my first match, ladies and gentlemen, but until then...remember this: I will not rest...I will show no mercy...because even in the face of darkness and ultimate demise, I will destroy our enemy. Ladies and gentlemen, enjoy the rest of the show.

"For the Love of the Game" by Pillar blares again as Pence begins to exit the rings to deafening roars of approval as Overdrive goes to commercial

[President Jeff]

Harvey: Welcome back to Overdrive and we're about ready for our main event

Just then an image shows up on the titantron

Chase: And we've just learned at in 24 days at Shockwave, a former APW Megastar will be returning to APW!!

Harvey: This is exciting news, I can't wait to see who it will be

Paige: The following triple threat contest is scheduled for one fall and is your APW Overdrive Main Event!

Harvey: Here comes our special guest for the evening, the number one contender for the APW Undisputed championship, C.J. Gates.

Chase: It should definitely be interesting to hear what he has to say after what happened last week.

Gates tags hands with a few fans around ringside as he makes his way over to the announcers table, removing his hat and placing it on the table while he takes a seat.

Harvey: Welcome to the team, Gates. It's a pleasure to have you join us.

Chase: You're such a suck up, Harvey.

C.J. Gates: It's a pleasure to be here. I might not be on good terms with any of the competitors, but I still know this is going to be a great match, without a doubt.

Chase: With the three champions of Overdrive in the ring, what can go wrong?

Harvey: How are you doing after that shot from the title that Biggs dealt you earlier?

Gates smirks and winces, rubbing his forehead where a red welt can be seen.

Gates: Oh, I'm doing great, actually. He played right into my hand, and proved my point. What could be better?

'Slit My Wrist' hits on the PA system as purple and lime green strobe lights flicker around the arena.

Paige: Introducing first, from Indianapolis, Indiana, he is the current APW Xtreme champion, "The Suicidal Satanist"....NATHANIEL HAVOK!

The song plays for about a minute before Nathaniel Havok finally steps out from the back, guns blazing. He begins stomping around on the ramp, yelling and hyping up the crowd. Some boo him, but his "cult-like" following overshadows them with their deafening cheers. He gives a sadistic grin before sprinting down to the ring and sliding in under the bottom rope. He pops up off the mat and runs right for the far right turnbuckle. With a graceful leap, he lands on the second rope and throws his hands in the air once again. He hops down and stands in the corner as his music dies out.

Harvey: Nathaniel Havok has been on quite a roll recently, both on the positive and negative side of things.

Chase: He's proven just how crazy he can get when he won the Xtreme title, and I'm sure he won't be stopping anytime soon.

Gates: This guy has literally been a one man show and now that he has joined forces with Sally Talfourd, the sky seems to be the limit for what he is going to be able to do.

#SIMPLY F'N PUT!

A recorded voice comes over the loud speaker and "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple blasts over the PA. Johnny Rebel comes out in a gold robe shimmering in the lights. "SIMPLY PUT" is written in silver on the back. His blonde goatee is neatly trimmed and blonde hair is freshly cut; his eyes hidden behind dark sunglasses.

#IT'S TIME TO PAY THE PRICE!

The crowd has come unglued in their hatred for Rebel.

Paige: Introducing next, hailing from Chicago, Illinois, he is the current APW Overdrive champion, he is "Simply Put"....JOHNNY REBEL!

He gets to the ring and pulls a camera man down to the ground and on all fours as Rebel uses him as a stepping stone to get in the ring. He takes off his robe to reveal his gold tights and tasseled white boots. He poses on the second turnbuckle with both hands held high.

Chase: Rebel made an impressive showing when he defeated Biggs for the Overdrive title.

Harvey: He won it unfairly but yes, he definitely made his mark.

Gates: Like I've been saying, I had nothing against Rebel, I just wanted Biggs to feel what it's like to get screwed. As for Rebel, he's a tough son of a bitch inside of that ring, I'll give him that. And I'm sure he'll do that Overdrive title as proud as he can.

The arena lights fade to black as "Spaceman" blares over the loudspeakers .

Paige: Introducing next, hailing from Seattle, Washington and he is your APW Undisputed champion...BIGGS!

Blue laser lights shoot from the stage as strobe lights flash about the arena. Biggs enters to a chorus of boos, and flashes his trademark smirk before making his way down the ramp to the ring. Biggs mocks the fans as he heads towards the ring, and once he reaches the ring, he rolls in beneath the ropes, pops up to his feet, and raises his hands up, index fingers pointed upwards. Biggs removes his ring jacket and shades as the lights come back on. Biggs looks over at Gates and the two exchange a tense stare.

Harvey: Biggs looks ready to fight tonight, and not just in his match.

Chase: Ever since he stole the title from Lester Only, Biggs has put himself on a whole different planet.

Gates: I agree with you, Chase, he didn't earn that title. Though, eventually karma will catch up to him for that one. I'm sure of that. Eventually he'll get a dose of his own medicine.

Gates and Biggs continue to stare one another down before Biggs smirks, shakes his head and turns his attention to his match.

Nathaniel Havok vs. Johnny Rebel vs. Biggs

After all three men exchange stares, the bell rings and the three of them all move in. Rebel and Biggs begin to slug it out with lefts and rights before Havok moves in and takes his turn, hitting both men with forearm shots to the head. Biggs stumbles back as Havok and Rebel begin to fight it out, before Rebel sends Havok into the ropes. Biggs is back to his feet and he takes down Rebel from behind, kicking at his knee caps, just in time for Havok to come flying back with a clothesline that takes Biggs down.

Harvey: Havok getting the early advantage there.

Gates: This really could be anyone's match, Harvey. We might be better off betting on the over/under of attempts to cheat.

Rebel is up to his feet and he fires back at Havok with some rights and lefts, backing him into the corner. Biggs is up and he gives Rebel a look before the two of them fire into some rights and lefts before they both whip Havok into the corner. Rebel charges in but Havok moves. Rebel stops himself from hitting the turnbuckles and turns around in time to get taken down with a quick snapmare from Havok, who turns around right into a knee to the gut and then a knee to the side of his head from Biggs.

Chase: The Undisputed champion taking advantage of the situation there.

Gates: That's his M.O., Chase. Always taking advantage of others just so he can get ahead. He can't just fight a good fight and earn his title wins.

All three are on their feet and Rebel is the first to strike, tackling Biggs to the ground and hammering into him with some right and lefts. Havok moves in and clubs Rebel in the back with a double axehandle before picking him up off Biggs and throwing him through the ropes to the outside of the ring. Biggs is slowly getting to his feet and Havok backs him into the corner, driving more fists into his head before grabbing his arm and whipping the Undisputed champion across the ring. Biggs hits the corner and Havok charges in, the Undisputed champ tries to get his legs up but Havok catches one on either side of his head, pivots and drives the champion into the mat with a powerbomb.

Harvey: Impressive display by the Xtreme champion.

Gates: Just giving Biggs what he deserves, I guess.

Chase: Are you saying you're cheering for Havok?

Gates: I'm not cheering for any of them. It will be a good match, but it doesn't matter to me who wins.

Before Havok can do anything, Rebel grabs his legs from the outside and trips him up pulling the Xtreme champion to the outside. Rebel drives a few forearms into his head before turning and tossing Havok into the steel steps. Rebel slides back into the ring under the bottom rope just in time to watch Biggs run towards him and drop him with a huge flying forearm, knocking Rebel back down. Biggs now on the offensive, picking Rebel back up and chopping his knee out with a big kick, setting him up for a DDT. Biggs makes the first cover.

2--Kick out by Rebel.

Harvey: Biggs is looking to end this thing quickly before he gets too deep.

Gates: He's already in too deep, Harvey. He just doesn't realize it. He will come Shockwave though, when I once again prove everyone wrong and climb over another obstacle.

Havok is back in the ring and as Biggs gets up, he grabs him from behind and drops him with a reverse DDT. Before he can make a pin, Rebel is on him, with big knees in the gut before he picks him up and drops him with a snap suplex. The Overdrive champion doesn't let up, however, following up with a side suplex. Biggs is back up and he catches Rebel with a leg lariat that takes the Undisputed champion down allowing Biggs to pin Havok.

2....Rebel pulls Biggs off of Havok!

Chase: Another close fall by the Undisputed champ.

Gates: I give him credit, Biggs is a fighter and he's smart inside of that right. He's the sort of smart that knows how to make the most of other people's hard work.

Rebel whips Biggs into the ropes and drops him with a big back body drop on the return, nearly landing Biggs on top of Havok. He hauls the Undisputed champ back up and drops him with a scoop slam and then a leg drop across his throat. Havok gets in on the fun, pulling Rebel back up to his feet and driving him hard into the corner with a strong shoulder. He drives a few more into the gut of "Simply Put" before standing back and allowing Rebel to stumble out right into a side effect. He goes for a cover.

Biggs breaks it up!

Harvey: None of the men want to lose.

Gates: I don't blame them, really. No one ever wants to lose. It just all comes down to who has the drive to pull out the win in the end.

Chase: And how much they cheat?

Gates: Now you're catching on. At least, that holds true in this match.

Biggs lays into Havok as the bigger man rises back to his feet, before taking a step back and dropkicking Havok into the corner. Biggs climbs up looking for a DDT of sorts, but Havok shoves him off. Biggs lands on his feet and as Havok charges forward, Biggs steps aside and drops him with a drop toe hold. Biggs gets back to his feet and eats a super kick from Rebel! Johnny goes for the pin on Biggs.

KICK OUT!

Chase: Close one there. We almost had another competitor with claim to the Undisputed title.

Gates: There's still too much left to this match for that to be it.

Havok is up and lays into Rebel with some knife edge chops before whipping the Overdrive champion into the ropes and catching him on the rebound with a spinebuster. He's up to his feet quickly and waits for Rebel to get up and then drops him with an inverted DDT. Havok with the pin.

NO! Biggs breaks it up with a leg drop from the top rope that catches Havok's head!

Harvey: Quite the move by Biggs to break up that pin.

Chase: Watching him in action, C.J., are you worried about whats in store for you at Shockwave?

Gates: I'm always worried about what my opponents can do, and I mean, Biggs might have cheated to win the title, but he had to last in the match long enough to get to that point. But I wouldn't say I'm any more worried then I was before sitting here.

Biggs waits for Havok to get up before dropkicking him in the knees, running to the ropes and coming back with a shining wizard! He's up but before he can do anything, Rebel takes Biggs down with a huge clothesline, before hauling the Undisputed champion to his feet, hooking him up and hitting a brainbuster on the champion leaving him in the middle of the ring. Before he can go for a pin, he spots Havok getting up and moves in for a super kick on the Satanist, but Havok sees it coming and catches the leg just in time, readjusting, and driving Rebel to the mat with a capture suplex!

Harvey: What a reversal by Havok!

Gates: Havok is definitely showing that he has what it takes to hang with some of top guys. He might be crazy, but he's talented.

Havok stands up, shaking his head, still trying to shake off the effects of the shining wizard, when he gets rolled up in a school boy pin attempt by Biggs!

NO!

Biggs gets to his feet quickly before Havok and clips out his knees. He then applies a double underhook and drives some vicious knees into the head and upper torso of Havok. After a few moments, Biggs releases and turns Havok over going for another cover with a handful of tights.

Rebel breaks it up!

Harvey: Biggs tried to steal a win with a handful of tights!

Gates: Just goes to show that cheating doesn't always work. Sometimes, you actually have to show some tenacity, grit, and determination to get the job done with a clean victory.

Rebel hits a big uppercut on Biggs, knocking him into Havok who is slowly getting up. Biggs stumbles over and as Rebel moves in he slides to the outside in front of the announce table, backing up until he hits it. Rebel turns his attention to Havok, kicking him in the ribcage before picking him up to his feet and dropping him with a front suplex.

Biggs turns around and smirks at Gates before shouting a few choice words toward the number one contender. Gates doesn't move and instead smiles back before nodding and pointing into the ring where Rebel is pinning Havok.

Biggs just in in time to break it up!

Harvey: Biggs almost cost himself the match there.

Chase: He's got to be more careful.

Rebel is up and shoves Biggs down before stomping away on his body. He picks Biggs up and whips him toward the ropes, just as Havok is getting up. Havok goes to grab Biggs, but the champion ducks under his arms and springboards off the ropes looking for a DDT counter but Havok moves out of the way, charging toward Rebel and taking him down with a headbutt. He picks Simply Put up and kicks him in the gut, before lifting him up for a powerbomb. But Rebel punches his way out and Havok releases him, and the two begin to exchange blows back and forth.

Harvey: They aren't paying attention to Biggs!

The Undisputed Champion climbs to the top rope nearest the two men and leaps off, taking them both down with a cross body block! Biggs is quick to his feet eying the two opponents. Rebel is the first one to get to his feet, and Biggs hooks him up for the inverted overdrive.

Chase: This could be the Crashing Down to Earth we saw him hit you with early, C.J.

Gates: Don't need to remind me, I remember.

But before he can hit it, Havok is up and he is on Biggs, freeing Rebel. Havok lays into Biggs with heavy punches, but the champ manages to block a few shots before ducking under another and hitting a dropkick on Havok. Rebel has his bearings back and Biggs moves in, using Rebel to block the referee's view and raking the eyes of the Overdrive champion. As Rebel clutches his eyes, Biggs pushes him towards and out of the ring.

Gates: There he goes again, cheating his way along.

Havok is back up and Biggs kicks him in the gut, hooking him up and nailing him with an inverted overdrive!

Chase: Crashing Down to Earth!

Quickly, Biggs hooks Havok up for the pin.

3!!!

Paige: Here is your winner...BIGGS!

"Spaceman" plays as Rebel realizes that the match is over on the outside and Havok slowly rolls toward the ropes. The referee hands Biggs his title and the Spaceman smiles, looking somewhat exhausted as he leans against the ropes.

His eyes that find C.J. Gates as he stands from the announcers table, retrieving his hat and placing it on his head. Gates begins to applaud while he moves closer to the ring, mouthing something along the lines of "I almost thought you'd try not to cheat".

Harvey: We might have another confrontation here, folks.

But Gates doesn't enter the win. He smirks and shrugs while Biggs continues to lock eyes, before climbing the nearest turnbuckle with his title, holding it high in the air as the fans boo.

Chase: Well, that's it for Overdrive tonight, folks.

Harvey: Catch us next week as the road to Shockwave continues!

Biggs and Gates continue to stare at one another, with Biggs holding the title over his shoulder, motioning that it isn't going anywhere, as the show comes to a close.
