[align=center]GLOBAL WARFARE QUALIFIER MATCH ONE SASORI SAITO vs. ALISA RUTSKAYA
Alisa Rutskaya is not joined by her friend Aleks Berzins, who is busy preparing for her big match at the end of the show. Sasori Saito, on the other hand, is joined by her MURAMASA partners. Alisa seems a bit distracted knowing that Akira Akiyama and Kira Izumi will be at ringside to assist Sasori, should they need to. For this reason, Alisa is desperate to gain the upperhand early. She charges at Saito and takes her down with a clothesline, but Sasori gets right back up. Alisa tries for a second clothesline, but it only yields the same result. When Sasori gets back up immediately, Alisa correctly realises that she will have to try something different. So instead of charging at her opponent, she waits for her to come to her. But Sasori Saito has other plans. Rather than move towards Alisa Rutskaya, Akira jumps onto the apron to divert Alisa’s attention. Alisa approaches her and pushes her down, but Akira has already done her job. She creates an opening for Sasori Saito to strike Rutskaya from behind, and that’s exactly what happens. Sasori clubs Alisa in the back of her head with her elbow, and from here she is able to have a bit of fun. She pulls Alisa to her feet and enjoys hitting a variety of different moves on her, each one resulting in applause from the MURAMASA. It’s a DDT that leaves Alisa on the mat that causes Sasori to go for the cover, opting against hooking the leg because she’s confident that it’s over. 1...2...KICKOUT!
To Saito’s shock, Rutskaya rolls her shoulder up at two. Sasori pulls her up and goes to whip her into the ropes, but Alisa is able to stand her ground and fight back. A flurry of strikes send Saito stumbling backwards, providing Rutskaya with an opportunity to get herself into the match. She does exactly that, with a front dropkick. This sends Sasori crumpling down, and Alisa is able to continue to stay on the offensive. When she gets back up, Alisa connects with a superkick. She goes for a cover, but she makes it a point to hook both legs. 1...2...KICKOUT!
Sasori Saito kicks out, and Alisa Rutskaya slams her fists against the mat in frustration. She goes to pull Saito back to her feet, but Kira Izumi and Akira Akiyama climb onto the ring apron, distracting her once again. Only this time, the official is distracted too. He yells at them to get down, but at first they pay no attention. However, when Sasori Saito is able to slip brass knuckles onto her fist and knock Alisa Rutskaya out cold, they’re more than willing to oblige. With Alisa out for the count, Sasori ensures victory by pulling her up and hitting her “Satsujin-sha” finisher. She hooks the leg. 1...2...3! Winner: Sasori Saito (Time: 16:54)[/align]
[align=center]*Eddy sat in the Zombie Dojo, awaiting his student, meditating*
*Dabria walks in, silently bowing to Mater Poe, awaiting his commands*
Poe: "I said to be here at 3.
It's 3:05."
*He hadn't even opened his eyes or looked at his watch.
He clearly sounded unhappy.*
*She looks flustered, slightly embarrassed*
Dabria: "I'm sorry Master Poe, I let the time get away from me, I miscalculated my time, it won't happen again."
Poe: "Where were you last night?"
Dabria: "What do you mean? I was at home, in my apartment."
Poe: "You had down time.
When I was your age I used that time to meditate, hit the bag, catch up on my exercise or my reading.
You were, let me guess... Netflix?"
Dabria: "Ummm, no master, not exactly..."
*She blushes and looks down so she doesn't have to see his face*
Poe: "Dabria, sit next to me.
Now."
*He voice was firm, almost angry.*
*She cautiously walks over and sits, wary of the lesson to follow*
Poe: "I realize I'm being hard on you.
I realize the things I'm telling you sound impossible.
I thought the same thing at your age, until my master explained it to me."
Dabria: "I am trying Master Poe, I really am. I want this, I want to be stronger."
Poe: "Listen for a moment.
You will never be able to complete the things I'm telling you to do, because you weren't supposed to in the first place."
Dabria: "What do you mean, Master Poe?"
Poe: "If you fall below the bar of somebody with low standards, you just fail.
But if you fall below the standards of someone who is inhuman, you are still higher than the average warrior.
A true Zombie never dies, they don't just stop improving. Even as they advance in age, they advance in skill.
So you are going to fall below our standards, but you will always improve, always get better.
And soon enough... You will surpass your opponents."
Dabria: "I don't fully understand Master Poe, but I will not stop trying, I will keep pushing myself to the limits, I will continue to do more each day as long as I am able."
Poe: "That Dabria, is all you need to do.
Now, come on. It's time for today's training."
Dabria: "Of course Master Poe."[/align]

[align=center]GLOBAL WARFARE QUALIFIER MATCH TWO BLAZING KISUKE vs. OCULTA SANTOS
The match begins, and this one is very even in the early stages. Blazing KISUKE gains the upperhand temporarily, courtesy of his signature “Lighting to Heaven” kick. But Oculta Santos is able to fight back with a belly-to-belly suplex. Both men get to their feet and charge at each other, hitting a double clothesline. Both men are down again, but it’s Santos who moves quickest and is up first. He capitalises by taking KISUKE down with a backstabber, going for the cover. 1...2...KICKOUT!
KISUKE kicks out in time, but Santos doesn’t care. He continues to wear him down with a variety of moves. A short-arm clothesline is followed up by a sharpshooter, but Blazing is able to find a way out of the hold. Santos runs at him, but quick reactions by KISUKE allows him to turn around and connect with a Pele kick, which he likes to call “Destiny’s Play.” This gives Blazing a window, albeit small, to start to build up some momentum. He does exactly that by scaling the turnbuckle and, once Oculta is up to his feet, connects with “Roots of the King”, a top rope diving kick. This has the Japan Openweight Champion on his back and this time it is KISUKE going for the cover. 1...2...KICKOUT!
Oculta Santos kicks out just before the three, saving himself. Blazing KISUKE, whilst disappointed not to have secured the victory, doesn’t waste too much time. He pulls Santos to his feet and whips him into the ropes. While Santos is able to duck under KISUKE’s arm during the original rebound, he doesn’t get quite so lucky on the second. He comes rebounding off of the ropes, but Blazing drops him against the mat with “A Different Shade of White.” Then, Blazing KISUKE climbs up to the top rope. He looks at the downed body of Oculta Santos, but right as he looks ready to leap off to hit his “BLAZING Elbow” finisher, KAZUKI appears, diverting KISUKE’s attention. With Blazing distracted, Oculta Santos is able to reach his feet. He hits a European uppercut on Blazing KISUKE, and with him limp on the top rope, he is able to grab hold of him and fling him down with a T-bone suplex. This leaves KISUKE as prey, and the second he’s up to his feet, Santos takes him back down with “Malevolence.” The cover is made. 1...2...3!
After the match is over, Oculta Santos leaves KAZUKI to enter the ring unchallenged. KAZUKI stares at Blazing before pulling him to his feet. He yells something at him in Japanese, before slapping him in the face. He allows KISUKE to drop to his knees, as this sets him up for “Warrior’s Death.” KISUKE mentioned how he wanted a rematch against KAZUKI. Well, now he’s certainly got more of a reason to ask for one! Winner: Oculta Santos (Time: 16:24)[/align]
[align=center]Cameras cut backstage to the catering area, where we see Big Banter sitting at a table, eating a big breakfast. The cameras focus on the plate in front of him, which has five sausages, six and half eggs, eight slices of bacon, two pancakes, three pieces of pudding, five hash browns and four slices of toast. He stares at the camera before he eats.
Big Banter: INDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED.

[align=center]GLOBAL WARFARE QUALIFIER MATCH THREE BIG BANTER vs. ASAHI WATANABE
This match begins and straight away, Asahi Watanabe and Big Banter are out of the blocks. Watanabe throws punches at Big Banter, but they’re all to the chest and don’t seem to do any noticeable damage. Big Banter absorbs them all without even as much as a flinch, and Asahi is quick to realise that he will have to completely change his strategy. He does so quickly, trying to take Big Banter off of his game mentally. He stops with the attack and looks up at Big Banter, screaming “INDEED” at the top of his lungs. However, the plan backfires on him as Big Banter yells “INDEED” with him, at the exact same time. Watanabe raises his hand to his chin, puzzled. He decides his best course of action is to charge at Big Banter, trying to use his speed to his advantage. But even after Asahi Watanabe rebounds off of the ropes, Big Banter does not budge. Asahi tries again, but this time after rebounding he leaps up, hoping to drill Big Banter down with a DDT. But Big banter simply catches him and crushes him onto the canvas with a spinebuster. He doesn’t follow up, though, through pity - or perhaps intrigue. He lets Watanabe up to try again, and he does so. Asahi charges at him once more, but this time Big Banter stands firm and sends him tumbling over. Asahi gets straight back up again and runs into the ropes. But this time, when he rebounds, Big Banter takes him down with a huge running clothesline. He goes for the cover. 1...2...KICKOUT!
While Asahi Watanabe had enough to kick out this time, it is all Big Banter from this point on. A snap elbow drop takes the wind out of Watanabe, but Banter pulls him up. He tightly wraps his arms around the body of Watanabe, pulling him into a bearhug. Asahi gasps for breath, desperately trying to break free. However, Big Banter’s too strong for him to do anything about it. He allows Asahi to go limp before flinging him across the ring. Another snap elbow drop takes the wind out of him, causing him to sit up. Big Banter, from here, pulls him to his feet. It allows him to drill him down with his “Brekkie Roll” signature, which he follows with a straight right hand. From here, the only natural progression is to try to end the match. That’s exactly what he does, pulling Asahi in for his “Special K” finisher. He goes for the cover. 1...2...3! Winner: Big Banter (Time: 12:37)[/align]

[align=center]GAIJIN CHAMPIONSHIP, GLOBAL WARFARE QUALIFIER MAIN EVENT ALEKS BERZINS vs. ESSENCE
The match begins, and straight away Aleks Berzins offers a handshake. Essence, not willing to trust her opponent, arches an eyebrow. She looks at the hand and waits for Aleks to retract it, making it clear that they’re not friends. Aleks shrugs her shoulders, and the two begin to circle one another. They meet in the middle of the ring with a collar-and-elbow, but Aleks is smart enough to realise that she is fighting a losing battle, and so she slips out of it and takes Essence down with a tilt-a-whirl arm drag. It’s enough to keep Essence down so that she can follow up with a leg drop, but Aleks fails to follow up from this point. Believing she has Essence right where she wants her, she turns her back on her opponent and stretches her arms out in celebration. This gives Essence opportunity to get to her feet, and when Aleks turns around, she walks right into a discus elbow smash. A quick pin attempt follows. 1...KICKOUT!
Aleks Berzins kicks out with ease, nowhere near ready to give up her opportunity. Essence, meanwhile, wants to make short work of her challenger. So she tries to lock in her arm trap seated cloverleaf finisher, but Berzins is able to squirm her way out of it. She rolls out of the ring to catch her breath, but Essence doesn’t afford her much time to recover. She rolls out the ring herself and proceeds to chase Aleks around. Aleks slips into the ring and is able to gain the advantage by delivering a slap to Essence as soon as she gets into the ring herself. With Essence stirring, Aleks takes her down with a hair-pull mat slam. She then stalks Essence and as soon as the Champion is up to her feet, she forces her back down with a lungblower. Essence is out, and Aleks goes for the cover by hooking both legs. 1...2...KICKOUT!
Aleks, in pure disbelief, sits up. She holds up three fingers to the referee, but when he responds with two, she begins to throw a temper tantrum. This allows Essence to recover, and with Aleks still mid-tantrum, she delivers a stomp to the stomach to cause her to lay on her back. From here, it is very easy for Essence to lock in the arm trap seated cloverleaf. Aleks shrieks out in pain and bravely fights it for as long as she possibly can, but eventually she has no choice but to tap out. Essence has not only retained the Gaijin Championship, but she is off to Global Warfare! Winner: Essence (Time: 15:13)[/align]
[align=center]After the match ends, an image of the six competitors representing CWC Japan: Legacy pops up on the screen. Those six are Chase Futrell, Jessy Turner, Oculta Santos, Sasori Saito, Big Banter and now, Essence. The Gaijin Champion smiles, knowing that she is joining five of the top stars in the brand to try and bring home the International Championship. The show fades.
