[align=center]MATCH 1: SINGLES
Oculta Santos (Japan) vs Caspian Kace (REBELLION)[/align]
As soon as the bell rings, Oculta Santos goes right on the attack by launching at Caspian Kace and throwing some wild elbows. Kace gets knocked into the ropes with a European uppercut and Santos throws him across the ring; hitting Caspian with a clothesline. Oculta tries for a pin, but Caspian quickly kicks out at one. Keeping Kace on the mat, Santos just brutally clubs Caspian on the back in an attempt to wear him down. As Oculta gets back to his feet, he gives one more stomp to Caspian before lifting him up off the mat.

A kick to the stomach doubles Kace over and Santos hooks him with a T-bone suplex. Oculta tries to go for another pin, but Caspian kicks out yet again. Santos tries to lift Kace back up for more damage, but Caspian fights back by firing a forearm right at Oculta’s head. The blow knocks Santos back and he tries to go for another clothesline, but Kace ducks underneath it and pops back up with a superkick! Caspian hits the ropes, trying for his springboard cutter, but Oculta counters it by hitting a lariat to the back of Kace’s head.

Dragging Caspian up to his feet, Oculta throws Kace into the ropes and catches him on the rebound with a big spinebuster! A dazed Caspian gets back up to his feet and it’s the perfect set-up for Oculta’s Malevolence, but Kace manages to sidestep the spear and Santos crashes right into the turnbuckles! Caspian takes advantage of his situation by lifting Oculta up and putting Santos right down with a rope hung neckbreaker! Hooking the legs, Kace only gets a two count out of Santos.

With his opponent on the match, Caspian heads up top, and gets ready for takeoff as he drops off with a beautiful elbow drop, but Oculta rolls out of the way! Kace comes crashing down to the canvas and rolls out of the ring. Once Santos recovers, he rolls out of the ring right after Kace and drives his knee into the side of Caspian’s head. The referee starts an outside count, but the two aren’t out for long as Oculta lifts Caspian up in a powerbomb position before dropping him right onto the ring apron!

Kace uses the ropes to get to his feet and that’s when Santos comes running in with a Malevolence (Spear)! It connects and Oculta goes for the pin on Caspian. The referee is just about to hit the mat for a third time when he notices Kace’s leg on the bottom rope! The pin is waved off and Santos is livid, getting right in the official’s face over the count. While he does this, Caspian is given plenty of time to recover and he soon finds himself back on his feet.

Santos turns around to see Kace on his feet and he goes charging in, but Caspian sidesteps it and Oculta runs chest first into the ropes. With his back toward his opponent, Santos gets knocked out with the SEE K.O. (Ripcord Rolling Elbow)! Kace pulls Santos away from the ropes and hooks the legs, picking up the win after three seconds and advancing into the next round.

[align=center]BACKSTAGE[/align]
Jessica Anderson is backstage, dressed in the famous red, white and blue of the Union flag. She has her husband along side her, but he tries his hardest to avoid being caught on camera, allowing her to have her moment in the spotlight.

Jessica Anderson: “I cannot tell you just how excited I am to be here tonight. I navigated my way past some very difficult competition in Sydney last week, and now I'm here in London – without a doubt my favourite city in the world!”

The dropping of the city name undoubtedly sparks a cheap pop, but Jessica doesn't care. She's soaking every moment in, because there's no guarantee that she'll ever get another.

Jessica Anderson: “Tonight isn't about finally being back in London, though. It's all about Global Warfare and taking that International Championship home to Empire Pro Wrestling. I have reached the last sixteen with some of the greatest wrestlers around the world, so just making it this far is an honour in itself. But I'm not the 'just happy to be here' type. I'm not going into my match with Mercy Williams thinking that I've already achieved more than people thought I would and calling it a job well done.”

She sakes her head, definitely.

Jessica Anderson: “Not at all. It is my intentions to go out there and try my damn hardest to pick up the victory tonight, because not only do I owe it to Empire. I owe it to all of you. Without you, none of this would be possible. We have the greatest fans in the world, and I'd be honoured to represent them as the CWC International Champion!”

Jessica blows a quick kiss, followed by a wink, before exciting the scene.

[align=center]MATCH 2: SINGLES
Big Banter (Japan) vs Chester Roosevelt (REBELLION)[/align]
The match begins, and the two men charge at each other. The stronger and larger Big Banter takes the upperhand, but the crafty Chester Roosevelt is able to escape. He manages to take Big Banter down with a tiger driver, and once the big man is on the ground, Chester makes it a point to not allow him to get back to his feet. He delivers several stiff kicks to the side and ribcage of Big Banter, taking the wind right out of him. He goes for a very early pin attempt, hooking the leg. Big Banter kicks out at one.

Big Banter powers out, forcing Roosevelt off of him. He sits up and slowly gets to his feet, but Roosevelt runs at him and delivers a bicycle knee. If doesn't drop Big Banter, but it certainly staggers him. With his opponent groggy, Chester charges at him once more for a second bicycle knee. This time, Banter drops against the canvas. He opts against making the cover, however. Instead, he waits for Big Banter to get to his feet again. When he does so, he charges at him with all his might. But Big Banter is able to counter the gore, sidestepping it and rolling Chester up. He only manages a two count.

Chester Roosevelt, annoyed by the crowd cheering for Banter, yells out “I'M AN AMERICAN.” Big Banter takes no notice of it – he's most likely busy thinking about how much he'd enjoy a full English breakfast right now. The two men begin trading blows, and as Chester Roosevelt is slightly quicker than his opponent, he is able to take control. But it doesn't last for long, as Big Banter retaliates with a snap DDT. He then quickly drops an elbow onto Chester's stomach, which he follows up with a pin attempt. He's only able to manage a two count, once again.

Both men get to their feet. Big Banter runs towards Chester, but he's met with a clothesline. “The American” takes control of the match once again, working away on Banter's leg. He has a single leg Boston crab locked in and it does noticeable damage, as when he is able to force the break via the bottom rope, he struggles to get back to his feet. He limps forwards, right into the path of Roosevelt. This time, Chester is able to connect with the gore, and he transitions into a ground and pound. After successfully defending himself, Big Banter is able to push Chester Roosevelt away. Roosevelt comes right back at him, but an STO knocks him down. He's back up almost instantly, but Big Banter springs into life to drop him with “Fallen Angel”, his signature headlock driver. Sensing his opportunity, he waits for Chester to get back to his feet. When he does exactly that, he lunges forward for his “Big Banter Boot” finisher. However, Roosevelt ducks and sends Banter stomach-first into the turnbuckle. He rebounds backwards, and Chester charges at him for another gore. But Big Banter is able to catch him mid-air and drop him with his “Special K” finisher, much to the crowd's delight. He rolls Roosevelt over and makes the cover, securing the three count and the all-important victory.

[align=center]Winner: Big Banter (pin @ 8:56)

[align=center]BACKSTAGE[/align]
Leah Taylor is warming up in the locker room area backstage when Mercy Williams walks up to her with a smirk on her face. Taylor puts both hands on her hips, eyebrow raised, as she puts on a smirk of her own.

[align=center]LEAH TAYLOR:
"Hello, Mercy. To what do I owe this pleasure?"

MERCY WILLIAMS:
"Leah, Leah, Leah... I just wanted to say hi. You and I might not always see eye to eye, but let's be honest here, we're the top two talent OPW has in this tournament, and we're going to be the top two competitors at the end of all this, so let me give you a very useful advice: Try to win your match tonight. At all costs. I would love nothing more than to embarrass New Dawn's weakest link and New Zealand's favorite loser."


Taylor chuckles, shaking her head.

LEAH TAYLOR:
"All right. Thanks for the advice, Mercy. Good luck with your match against Jessica Anderson. She's going to be tough to beat."


MERCY WILLIAMS:
"Don't you worry about me, Leah. I've got things under control. You should be worrying about yourself. I've seen Coyote Lawless in that ring. He's not going to be easy to control. And you love control, right? You and New Dawn. It's too bad your boys aren't around tonight. They would've been helpful against Lawless."


LEAH TAYLOR:
"I doubt that. It's a one-on-one match between me and Lawless. I wouldn't bring out Oliver and KANAK even if they were here. New Dawn is all about raising the bar, doing it with respect and honor, two things you'd know nothing about."


Williams frowns at Taylor's stab. They have a tense stare down before she tries to slap her but Taylor catches her hand.

LEAH TAYLOR:
"Why don't you save it for the finals? You can slap me all you want then and I'll make you tap."


Williams grabs her hand from Taylor's.

MERCY WILLIAMS:
"I'll see you in the finals. Hopefully you won't choke like you and New Dawn do every time you get a CWC title shot."


Smirking, Williams walks out of there, leaving a furious Taylor to shake her head and stare Williams' back down.

[align=center]MATCH 3: SINGLES
Jessica Anderson (Empire) vs Mercy Williams (OPW)[/align]
As soon as the bell rings, Anderson and Williams circle each other. They lock up but quickly break off. Williams shakes her booty and blows Anderson a kiss to mock her. Anderson laughs and blows Williams a kiss of her own. Williams does not appreciate that. They lock up again and Williams traps Anderson in a side headlock, mocking her. Anderson whips Williams across the ring but gets taken down by a shoulder block when Williams comes back. Williams with another booty shake before running the ropes. Anderson lies prone before Williams' feet and then jumps up to avoid Williams' return. Anderson with a dropkick that takes Williams' down. The crowd pops as Anderson hypes them and Williams rolls out of the ring.

Anderson goes to the top and hits a diving crossbody to Williams on the floor. Anderson sends Williams back in the ring. Williams with forearms to Anderson as soon as she slides back in the ring. Williams whips Anderson across the ring and takes her down with a dropkick of her own for a 2 count. Williams goes for a figure four neck-lock to wear Anderson down. Anderson struggles for a while but turns it into a jackknife hold for a 2 count. Williams reverses the pin by pushing herself and Anderson up before twisting around and going for a powerbomb. Anderson ends up jumping out of it before running the ropes, only to eat a bicycle kick that gets Williams another 2 count.

Williams hits Mercy On Me (Split-legged Leg Drop) for a 2 count. Another booty shake and Williams tries to lock in Beg For Mercy (Muta Lock) as the crowd chants "show her no Mercy." Anderson fights out of it, kicking Williams off of her. Both competitors get back to their feet and charge at each other but Anderson ends up the victor of the clash with the Ass Kisser (Hip attack) to Williams' face. The crowd pops as Anderson hypes them. Anderson with a standing senton for a 2 count. Anderson with a boot to the gut and a kiss to Williams' lips after much goading from the crowd before hitting the Stunned Silence (Swinging snap DDT). Instead of going for the pin, Anderson goes to the top. She goes for the Show Stealer (Corkscrew 620 senton) but Williams gets out of the way, leading to Anderson crashing on the mat. Williams finally locks in Beg For Mercy (Muta Lock) and Anderson has no choice but to tap.

[/align]
Williams celebrates on her own in the middle of the ring as the referee checks on Anderson. She shakes her booty and blows a fallen Anderson one last kiss.

[align=center]MATCH 4: SINGLES
Dante Locke (OPW) vs Dante Cutler (REBELLION)[/align]
It’s showtime as the bell rings and Dante Cutler steps up toward Dante Locke, the two getting in in one another’s face. Before any action kicks off, Locke starts jawing at Cutler and the rookie isn’t hesitant to back off. The war of words only lasts so long before Cutler connects with an open palm slap to Cutler’s face! And he doesn’t let up, connecting with a few more that leaves Cutler staggered in the center of the ring. Locke backs up and hits the ropes, but Cutler is ready on the rebound with a pinpoint dropkick that connects flush on Locke’s jaw.

Cutler gets off to a hot start as he keeps Locke on the mat with a slingshot leg drop and tries for a pin, but barely gets a one count. Lifting Locke up, Cutler gets a forearm shot for his efforts. Locke pulls Cutler into a clinch and starts driving his knee right into Cutler’s body. After a few shots, Locke lets go of the clinch and lets Cutler back up a bit before delivering some Muay Thai inspired kicks to the side of Cutler’s left leg. After enough kicks, Cutler falls down to one knee, and Locke hits the ropes on the rebound for a bicycle kick to the kneeling rookie!

As soon as Cutler drops to the mat, Locke rolls him over and goes for a pin, but the REBELLION Pro star kicks out at two. Locke tries scrambling on the mat and grabbing onto Cutler’s arm, looking for his kimura lock, but Cutler fights it and rolls free of it. As they get back onto their feet, the two Dantes connect the soles of their boots with a simultaneous dropkick. It’s a brief stalemate until Locke comes in with another open palm slap and follows it up with a spinning backfist.

Locke gets behind a stunned Cutler and hooks him for a bridging German suplex! The suplex only gets Locke a two count, but it’s enough to keep Cutler down on the mat for a moment. Locke pops up to the top rope and steadies himself before going airborne for a corkscrew shooting star press! But he only connects with Cutler’s knees and gets rolled up into a pin! The referee almost gets to three before Locke kicks out. Impressing the London crowd, Cutler nearly deadlifts Locke back up and hits an Ursa Major (Revolution-style Brainbuster)!

He tries for a pin after hitting the brainbuster and nearly seals the deal, but the OPW star kicks out just before the three. Cutler picks Locke up and pushes him back into the corner. Getting some momentum behind him from the crowd, Cutler starts running in for his Guns of Brixton, but the damage taken to the weakened leg from earlier stops him in his tracks, just giving Locke enough time to shoot out of the corner and connect with a superkick!

Seeing the opportunity in front of him, Locke goes right in for the kill, applying his Straight To Hell, but before he can connect, Cutler finds some new life and throws a few punches to Locke’s midsection. Cutler picks Locke up into a fireman’s carry, but stumbles a bit due to that damaged leg, however Cutler fights through the pain to hit his Uncanny Valley Driver (Death Valley Driver onto Knee)! Quickly falling down for the pin, Cutler hooks Locke’s legs and picks up the big win.

[align=center]WINNER: DANTE CUTLER (PINFALL @ 11:49)

[align=center]MATCH 5: SINGLES
Sasori Saito (Japan) vs Oliver Quinn (CWL)[/align]
As the bell rang the far larger Quinn forced Saito back, up against the ropes, pummeling her with body shots, left and right. Saito managed to force a little space, but caught a big boot that sent her to the outside. Quinn followed her close behind. He plucked her from the mats and slammed her into the security barricade. He went for a military press drop but Saito wriggled free.

Sasori kicked Oliver in the thigh, once, twice, three times! He dropped to one knee. She placed her boot on the side of his head and slammed his skull into the barricade, leaving him slumped on the ground. Saito rolled into the ring and confidently smirked. Oliver only returned at the referee's eight count, and even then he was set upon by the determinaed Sasori, kicks and knee strikes keeping him grounded. He eventually managed to out muscle her and lifted her, smashing her down with an Alabama slam.

Oliver took a few moments to breathe, resting against the ropes, before moving for an elbow drop that missed, with Sasori rolling sideways. Both stood and she took Quinn down with a flying forearm. Sasori stood again and stalked Quinn as he struggled up.

Oliver turned around, into the Satsujin-sha (Inverted Stomp Facebreaker)! Suddenly Kehlani's "Gangsta" played out. Sasori stood, anticipating the arrival of the foe, Essence. But the young Canadian never came out, and the music died down. Confused and frustrated, Saito turned back toward Quinn, only to eat his Breaker Boot (Claymore Kick). Quinn quickly made the cover and picked up the three!

[align=center]Winner: Oliver Quinn (pin @ 7:54)
[/align]





[align=center]BACKSTAGE[/align]
Kenzi Grey-Lacklan stands in front of the camera, no interviewer and no whacky locker room antics, only the prestigious Empire Pro Tag Team Title over her shoulder. Kenzi tossed her long black braids back over her shoulder as she addressed the masses.

Kenzi Grey-Lacklan: It’s no secret that I don’t get along with the General Manager of our brand. Lauran Parker and I have never gotten along and we may never see eye to eye, but…I do owe her for giving me a chance to shine at Global Warfare when everyone else in Empire, but a select few laughed at her and at me for even being selected. Since that time, I have come to see things in a very different light…how I view the other brands, how I view EPW, and most importantly, how I view myself.

Kenzi paused for a beat, gathering her thoughts.

Kenzi Grey-Lacklan: I came into the tournament looking to show the CWC that Empire was united and committed to showcasing it’s talent to the world. I got a rude wake up in the form of everyone who was selected shouting me down and telling me that my talent was subpar and I had no business being at Global Warfare. This tournament was not about anything other than one individual proving that they were better than the next…brands be damned. I didn’t want to believe that, and I still don’t want to believe that. I have to think that this is more than just a bunch of us thrown in together like a barrel of plastic monkeys and shaken to see who falls out last. I want this to mean more than that…I want the International Championship to mean more than that…

Kenzi takes the EPW Title off of her shoulder and looks at it, then holds it up for the camera to get a good look at it as the light glints off its platinum surface. The look of pride is evident on her face.

Kenzi Grey-Lacklan: I fought so hard to get this title…and it means so much to me, not only because I won it with the love of my life, but because of the way that we did it…because of the adversity that we faced. I took the hard road to win this title and everyone knows how much it means because of that. I think that the same should hold true for this tournament and the people still left in it. I looked at this as a chance to prove the doubters wrong…and now that most of my detractors have been sent home, I see that this really is about something more than individual accomplishment.

She put the title back on her shoulder.

Kenzi Grey-Lacklan: Tonight I face yet another woman who doesn’t respect me…despite the kind words I showed her. Maybe it’s gamesmanship, or maybe it’s just the era of ‘it’s just about me’ for all I know. I wish Li Chen the best, regardless and I hope that the better wrestler advances for a chance to become a deserving champion…someone who will make the title means something more than individualism at its finest. That’s my goal and I don’t intend to fall short. I am going to fight my hardest and represent my brand to the masses…whether they want me to or not!

Kenzi sighed as she turned and walked out of frame…

[align=center]MATCH 6: SINGLES
Coyote Lawless (CWL) vs Leah Taylor (OPW)[/align]
The match begins with Lawless and Taylor circling each other as the crowd chants for both of them. They go for a lock-up but Taylor turns it into a waist-lock from behind before lifting Lawless and slamming him face-first on the mat. Taylor transitions to a front face-lock on Lawless. Lawless struggles with it on the mat but eventually gets to his feet. He tries to get out of it but to no avail until he lifts Taylor and tosses her off of him forward. Taylor charges at Lawless with a wild clothesline but he ducks. He leaps towards the middle rope and hits a springboard moonsault that nets him a 2 count.

Lawless tries to go for another springboard moonsault on a prone Taylor but she gets her knees up. Taylor gets a 2 count with the Bridging Prawn Hold. As both competitors get back to their feet, Lawless immediately goes on the offensive with “Plate full of chops!" (backhand chop-fest!) on Taylor, the last one so painful that she had to turn around. Lawless takes the opportunity and goes for Snuffed Out! (Rolling Cutter) but Taylor breaks free and turns it into a Crash Landing (Air Raid Crash) attempt, only for Lawless to reverse it into a sunset flip that gets him a 2 count. Taylor immediately turns it into a jackknife hold for a 2 count of her own. Lawless lifts Taylor from below her, twists, and gets a 2 count off a backslide.

Taylor charges at Lawless with another clothesline but he ducks it again. Lawless runs up a turnbuckle and hits a rebounded corkscrew senton on a standing Taylor. He gets another 2 count off of that one. Lawless gets up first and tries to pick up Taylor but she takes him down by grabbing his feet off him and tries to lock in the Silver Fern (Rivera Cloverleaf) for the submission victory. Lawless fights it and turns it into a modified small package for a 2 count. Taylor instinctively rolls out of the ring. Lawless spots her and hypes up the crowd. He goes for a suicide dive but Taylor moves out of the way, leading to Lawless crashing face-first on the floor. Taylor slides back in the ring as the referee starts to count Lawless out. Before the count of 9, Lawless manages to toss himself back to the ring. He uses the ropes to gingerly make his way back to his feet, only for Taylor to grab him and take him out with the Crash Landing (Air Raid Crash) for the win.

[align=center]Winner: LEAH TAYLOR (PIN @ 9:52)
[/align]
Taylor has her hand raised by the referee before he goes to check on Lawless who is still dazed in the middle of the ring. The New Dawn member climbs the turnbuckle and celebrates her victory as the fans chant her name.





[align=center]BACKSTAGE[/align]
Voice: Professional wrestling is the sport of dreamers. Each and every single one of us in this profession has some kind of ambition, some sort of goal that we plan to accomplish. To win some matches, to destroy the company, to win the championship, to create a legacy—any aspiration is viable.

The black and white pre-recorded video began to fade in. The camera showed the back of some figure as he or she sat in the center of the ring with their legs crossed underneath them. The person wore light jacket with the words “Murder She Wrote” imprinted on the back of it. The camera quickly cut and allowed the audience to see the person head on. As the camera zoomed in a bit, it became clear that the voice had belonged to Misha LeCavalier. Her hands her were clasped together as they rested in her lap. While her head was lifted up, her eyes glanced at the ring’s mat.

Misha LeCavalier: All of that leads me to this point—have you ever pondered the truly wicked dichotomy of interests that takes place within a wrestling tournament? Hmm?

Her eyes rose and looked directly into the camera as she finished her sentence. Their normally frigidness isn’t present; instead, there’s a mild softness in them.

Misha LeCavalier: The Championship Wrestling Coalition Global Warfare tournament is a perfect case study; and I shall be a test subject. It was announced a few weeks ago that I would take part of in this tournament as representative of Empire Pro. And as soon that announcement was made, my brain began to kick into overdrive. I am an ambitious woman. I am also a woman that moves with purpose. Therefore, my mind began to formulate the proper goals and aspirations.

Misha took a moment to inhale and exhale.

Misha LeCavalier: My ambitions caused me to fixate my eyes upon the CWC International Championship…

There was a small pause.

Misha LeCavalier: Simply performing in this tournament and showing my glorious dominance would have been suffice at one point in time. Nevertheless, I’ve recently entered a new chapter in both my life and career. And that new chapter dictates that having a good showing, just having match, just is not enough anymore.

She nodded her head.

Misha LeCavalier: As I said before, I have had many opportunities fade away throughout the course of my career. Some were stolen from me; others slipped out of my grasp. Regardless, those missed opportunities are painful memories of what could have. I am sick and tired of said memories staking up. Global Warfare is one opportunity that I do not want to let simply fade away. I intend to seize it—that is why I clashed with Mr. Tijerina with such ferocity…

She allowed her words to linger in the air for a moment.

Misha LeCavalier: However, I am not the only one within the tournament with dreams, correct? Similar to myself, every person came into Global Warfare with a set goal in mind.

She gently brushed some of her hair out of her eyes as she continued to speak.

Misha LeCavalier: I suppose there in lies to conflict. To realize and reach my own dreams I am tasked with shattering the dreams of everyone I face.

There was a change. Her voice became more stern. Her gaze hardened up a bit.

Misha LeCavalier: Well, so be it.

There was a brief pause.

Misha LeCavalier: While professional wrestling is a sport of dreamers, it is also the sport of the utterly violent and cut-throat who will slaughter to get what they want. I fall into both categories…

Her gazed remained focused on the camera.

Misha LeCavalier: I am going to take your hopes of becoming CWC International Champion and crush them beneath my boot, Mr. Storm. It sucks, I am aware. However, your sacrifice shall not be in vain—I shall remember it once the championship belt is around my waist.

She continued to gaze into the camera as it faded out.

[align=center]MATCH 7: SINGLES
Kenzi Grey (Empire) vs Li Chen (Wildcard-Force)[/align]
Li Chen took to fight to Kenzi as soon as the bell rang. The two briefly exchanged strikes unti Li Chen quickly gained the advantage and backed Kenzi into the corner. Sensing the danger of the situation, Kenzi tried to push her assailant away; but Li Chen responded by employing a rope-assisted enziguri. The force of the blow caused Kenzi to fall to the mat. Li Chen rose to her feet and darted to the ropes; she rebounded and blasted Ms. Grey with hesitation dropkick. Li Chen pulled her out of the ropes and went for the pin, only to receive a two count.

The momentum stayed on Li Chen’s side as she continued to push the pace of the match. She connected with a running senton followed by a lionsault. Li Chen went for the pin, but once again got a two count. Li Chen then went to pick Kenzi up and continue her attack, but she got caught with a stiff punch to the side of the head. Kenzi kicked out Li Chen’s knee while she was still recovering. A wicked smirk came to her face as she grabbed Li Chen and powered her down with a low angle DDT. Kezni went for the pin, but Li Chen aggressively kicked out at one, a bit angered at her stolen move.

Kenzi kept Li Chen grounded by drilling her with stomps and kicks. She then dropped down and put a nasty chin lock on Li Chen. The Empire representative wrenched back on the hold, really putting pressure on Li Chen’s head and neck area. It became clear that Li Chen wasn’t going to tap, which caused Kenzi to forego the hold. She did however drop a knee across the back of Li Chen’s neck for good measure. Kenzi then hit the ropes and rebounded with a grounded dropkick. Kenzi hooked the leg and went for the pin—Li Chen kicked out at two.

The Empire representative bought them both back up to their feet and began to lift Li Chen up for a suplex; but Li Chen drilled her with a knee to the forehead. Kenzi responded with a quick forearm strike before she attempted the suplex again. This time Li Chen was able to use her momentum to slip out of Kenzi’s grasp and land behind her. She gave Kenzi a starch elbow to the back of the neck before she drove her down to the mat with a lung-blower. Li Chen held her neck a bit as she rose to her feet, but she fought through the pain and pulled Kenzi away from ropes before she climbed to the top. The FORCE Pro star flew through the air with a picture perfect imploding 450 splash. She would have won the match had Kenzi not placed her boot on the bottom rope. Following the rope break, Kenzi rolled until she found herself on the ring apron; she then used the ropes to pull herself up. Li Chen sprinted and vaulted over the top rope as soon as Kenzi made it to her feet; she grabbed Kenzi in mid-air and drove her head into the ring apron with a falling springboard DDT. Not allowing her opponent to rest, Li Chen picked Kenzi up and threw back into the ring. She got a two count after a pin attempt.

Li Chen was in the driver's seat as she lifted her opponent and peppered Kenzi with a few strikes before whipping her into the corner. Li Chen darted in for a stiff forearm, but Kenzi sent crashing head first into the corner with a drop-toe-hold. Kenzi was a bit wobbly as she rose to her feet and held her head, but she vowed to press on. She blazed in and connected with a double knee strike to her seated foe. She hit the ropes again and nailed a running boot to the face. Kenzi then grabbed Li Chen’s arm and yanked her up to her feet; she then muscled her up and dropped her with a suplex. Kenzi rolled her hips and rose back to her feet while maintaining her hold on Li Chen; she then lifted her and dropped her with a brainbuster.

Exhaustion alone prevented both competitors from rising right away. The referee began to count; he made it to eight before both were back up and ready to go. Kenzi and Li Chen then began to exchange blows and strikes. After a bit of back and forth, Li Chen connected with a swift spinning backfist. Kenzi replied with a short-range supergirl punch. They both collapsed to the mat once more.

The two warriors rose to their feet after another eight count. Li Chen began hammering in some palm strikes, but Kenzi cut her off by kicking out her knee again. Kenzi then cocked back and drilled her with a disorientating knee strike to the chin before she hit the ropes. She rebounded and slammed Li Chen’s head to the mat with her “Block Buster” headscissors DDT. She hooked Li Chen’s leg as she went for the cover and received a three count.

[align=center]Winner: Kenzi Grey (pin @ 14: 26)
[/align]
Kenzi clutched at her neck a bit as the referee lifted up her hand. However, a large smile rested on her face as she left the ring and made her way to the back. The fans showed their support for Li Chen’s efforts as she picked herself up off the mat.

This contest pitting a CWL star against an Empire star began with a mid ring staredown between Misha and Brien Storm. Both knew what was at stake in this round of sixteen matchup. Brien threw a punch at Misha, but Misha saw it coming and grabbed his arm, twisting it and then whipping him to the mat quickly and with authority. She then quickly ran to the ropes and went for a lionsault, but Brien rolled away and Misha landed on her feet, finishing with the two staring at each other again, this time from across the ring.

The two marched forward, engaging in a tie-up with Brien forcing Misha back into the corner using his size advantage. As Misha tries to push her way out, Brien pushes her back into the corner and hits a devastating chop to her chest. Misha clutches her chest in pain, but Brien moves her hand and hits a second chop with the same impact. He then pulls her out of a corner and into a belly to belly suplex. Brien goes for the pin and gets a two count. The cocky CWL star waits for Misha to get to her feet and as she does, he hooks her for a vertical suplex, but drops her jackhammer style and goes for a pin, picking up another two count.

Misha was hurt and The Brien wanted to capitalize. He moved in, going for the Unforecasted Storm, but that was just the opening LeCavalier needed. She slipped out behind Storm and hit a russian leg sweep. She then transitioned it into a potential armbar, but Storm quickly realized what was coming and scurried to the ropes, knowing that if any armbar was applied, that the match could very well be over. Misha looked on intensely as Brien rubbed his temple and then shouted that he was smart to scurry to the ropes.

Misha now had a one track mind-winning the match. That mindset lead to her charging towards Brien who was standing in the corner. Brien put a foot up but Misha caught it and whipped him to the mat and then applied a single leg crab. Realizing Brien wasn’t going to tap out, she released the hold with Brien laying on his stomach. This time Misha was able to successfully pull off the lionsault. She turned him over to his back and went for a pin, picking up a two count.

Brien was now slow to get up, and when he finally reached his feet he fell victim to a high roundhouse kick from LeCavalier that got a loud reaction from the crowd. Brien crumbled to the mat with Misha falling on top of him. She picked up a very long two count, and looked at the official to tell him that she thought that should have been a three count. The referee insisted it was a two but Misha started cornering him, still arguing her point. This distraction allowed Brien to recover and hit a clothesline that sent Misha to the mat.

Brien looked out to the crowd with wide eyes. He mimed as if he were placing a chair into the ring. He then went to ‘sit’ on the invisible chair and fell, then motioned as if someone moved the chair out from under him, leading fans to know exactly what he was about to go for. As Misha made it to her feet, she was lifted up and dropped with an electric chair drop that Storm calls ‘I’ve Moved Your Chair’. Misha was in trouble and Brien knew it. He immediately turned her over and went for a pin but also scored just a two count.

Both competitors were exhausted after the grueling back and forth. Brien took the time while Misha was down to catch his breath. As LeCavalier rose on wobbly legs, Storm went for a clothesline but Misha was able to duck it at the last second. She quickly turned around and hit a dropkick on Storm. LeCavalier sensed her opportunity and as Brien stood up, Misha ran off the ropes and ran back at Storm, connecting with The Queen Slayer (King Kong Lariat) that spun Storm inside out. The fans counted along with the referee for the three count, giving the Empire star the win.

Oculta Santos vs. Caspian Kace

As soon as the bell rings, Oculta Santos goes right on the attack by launching at Caspian Kace and throwing some wild elbows. Kace gets knocked into the ropes with a European uppercut and Santos throws him across the ring; hitting Caspian with a clothesline. Oculta tries for a pin, but Caspian quickly kicks out at one. Keeping Kace on the mat, Santos just brutally clubs Caspian on the back in an attempt to wear him down. As Oculta gets back to his feet, he gives one more stomp to Caspian before lifting him up off the mat.

A kick to the stomach doubles Kace over and Santos hooks him with a T-bone suplex. Oculta tries to go for another pin, but Caspian kicks out yet again. Santos tries to lift Kace back up for more damage, but Caspian fights back by firing a forearm right at Oculta’s head. The blow knocks Santos back and he tries to go for another clothesline, but Kace ducks underneath it and pops back up with a superkick! Caspian hits the ropes, trying for his springboard cutter, but Oculta counters it by hitting a lariat to the back of Kace’s head.

Dragging Caspian up to his feet, Oculta throws Kace into the ropes and catches him on the rebound with a big spinebuster! A dazed Caspian gets back up to his feet and it’s the perfect set-up for Oculta’s Malevolence, but Kace manages to sidestep the spear and Santos crashes right into the turnbuckles! Caspian takes advantage of his situation by lifting Oculta up and putting Santos right down with a rope hung neckbreaker! Hooking the legs, Kace only gets a two count out of Santos.

With his opponent on the match, Caspian heads up top, and gets ready for takeoff as he drops off with a beautiful elbow drop, but Oculta rolls out of the way! Kace comes crashing down to the canvas and rolls out of the ring. Once Santos recovers, he rolls out of the ring right after Kace and drives his knee into the side of Caspian’s head. The referee starts an outside count, but the two aren’t out for long as Oculta lifts Caspian up in a powerbomb position before dropping him right onto the ring apron!

Kace uses the ropes to get to his feet and that’s when Santos comes running in with a Malevolence (Spear)! It connects and Oculta goes for the pin on Caspian. The referee is just about to hit the mat for a third time when he notices Kace’s leg on the bottom rope! The pin is waved off and Santos is livid, getting right in the official’s face over the count. While he does this, Caspian is given plenty of time to recover and he soon finds himself back on his feet.

Santos turns around to see Kace on his feet and he goes charging in, but Caspian sidesteps it and Oculta runs chest first into the ropes. With his back toward his opponent, Santos gets knocked out with the SEE K.O. (Ripcord Rolling Elbow)! Kace pulls Santos away from the ropes and hooks the legs, picking up the win after three seconds and advancing into the next round.

WINNER: CASPIAN KACE (PINFALL @ 13:10)

Dante Locke vs. Dante Cutler

It’s showtime as the bell rings and Dante Cutler steps up toward Dante Locke, the two getting in in one another’s face. Before any action kicks off, Locke starts jawing at Cutler and the rookie isn’t hesitant to back off. The war of words only lasts so long before Cutler connects with an open palm slap to Cutler’s face! And he doesn’t let up, connecting with a few more that leaves Cutler staggered in the center of the ring. Locke backs up and hits the ropes, but Cutler is ready on the rebound with a pinpoint dropkick that connects flush on Locke’s jaw.

Cutler gets off to a hot start as he keeps Locke on the mat with a slingshot leg drop and tries for a pin, but barely gets a one count. Lifting Locke up, Cutler gets a forearm shot for his efforts. Locke pulls Cutler into a clinch and starts driving his knee right into Cutler’s body. After a few shots, Locke lets go of the clinch and lets Cutler back up a bit before delivering some Muay Thai inspired kicks to the side of Cutler’s left leg. After enough kicks, Cutler falls down to one knee, and Locke hits the ropes on the rebound for a bicycle kick to the kneeling rookie!

As soon as Cutler drops to the mat, Locke rolls him over and goes for a pin, but the REBELLION Pro star kicks out at two. Locke tries scrambling on the mat and grabbing onto Cutler’s arm, looking for his kimura lock, but Cutler fights it and rolls free of it. As they get back onto their feet, the two Dantes connect the soles of their boots with a simultaneous dropkick. It’s a brief stalemate until Locke comes in with another open palm slap and follows it up with a spinning backfist.

Locke gets behind a stunned Cutler and hooks him for a bridging German suplex! The suplex only gets Locke a two count, but it’s enough to keep Cutler down on the mat for a moment. Locke pops up to the top rope and steadies himself before going airborne for a corkscrew shooting star press! But he only connects with Cutler’s knees and gets rolled up into a pin! The referee almost gets to three before Locke kicks out. Impressing the London crowd, Cutler nearly deadlifts Locke back up and hits an Ursa Major (Revolution-style Brainbuster)!

He tries for a pin after hitting the brainbuster and nearly seals the deal, but the OPW star kicks out just before the three. Cutler picks Locke up and pushes him back into the corner. Getting some momentum behind him from the crowd, Cutler starts running in for his Guns of Brixton, but the damage taken to the weakened leg from earlier stops him in his tracks, just giving Locke enough time to shoot out of the corner and connect with a superkick!

Seeing the opportunity in front of him, Locke goes right in for the kill, applying his Straight To Hell, but before he can connect, Cutler finds some new life and throws a few punches to Locke’s midsection. Cutler picks Locke up into a fireman’s carry, but stumbles a bit due to that damaged leg, however Cutler fights through the pain to hit his Uncanny Valley Driver (Death Valley Driver onto Knee)! Quickly falling down for the pin, Cutler hooks Locke’s legs and picks up the big win.

WINNER: DANTE CUTLER (PINFALL @ 11:49)

Kenzi Grey-Lacklan segment

Kenzi Grey-Lacklan stands in front of the camera, no interviewer and no whacky locker room antics, only the prestigious Empire Pro Tag Team Title over her shoulder. Kenzi tossed her long black braids back over her shoulder as she addressed the masses.

Kenzi Grey-Lacklan: It’s no secret that I don’t get along with the General Manager of our brand. Lauran Parker and I have never gotten along and we may never see eye to eye, but…I do owe her for giving me a chance to shine at Global Warfare when everyone else in Empire, but a select few laughed at her and at me for even being selected. Since that time, I have come to see things in a very different light…how I view the other brands, how I view EPW, and most importantly, how I view myself.

Kenzi paused for a beat, gathering her thoughts.

Kenzi Grey-Lacklan: I came into the tournament looking to show the CWC that Empire was united and committed to showcasing it’s talent to the world. I got a rude wake up in the form of everyone who was selected shouting me down and telling me that my talent was subpar and I had no business being at Global Warfare. This tournament was not about anything other than one individual proving that they were better than the next…brands be damned. I didn’t want to believe that, and I still don’t want to believe that. I have to think that this is more than just a bunch of us thrown in together like a barrel of plastic monkeys and shaken to see who falls out last. I want this to mean more than that…I want the International Championship to mean more than that…

Kenzi takes the EPW Title off of her shoulder and looks at it, then holds it up for the camera to get a good look at it as the light glints off its platinum surface. The look of pride is evident on her face.

Kenzi Grey-Lacklan: I fought so hard to get this title…and it means so much to me, not only because I won it with the love of my life, but because of the way that we did it…because of the adversity that we faced. I took the hard road to win this title and everyone knows how much it means because of that. I think that the same should hold true for this tournament and the people still left in it. I looked at this as a chance to prove the doubters wrong…and now that most of my detractors have been sent home, I see that this really is about something more than individual accomplishment.

She put the title back on her shoulder.

Kenzi Grey-Lacklan: Tonight I face yet another woman who doesn’t respect me…despite the kind words I showed her. Maybe it’s gamesmanship, or maybe it’s just the era of ‘it’s just about me’ for all I know. I wish Li Chen the best, regardless and I hope that the better wrestler advances for a chance to become a deserving champion…someone who will make the title means something more than individualism at its finest. That’s my goal and I don’t intend to fall short. I am going to fight my hardest and represent my brand to the masses…whether they want me to or not!

Kenzi sighed as she turned and walked out of frame…

The match begins, and the two men charge at each other. The stronger and larger Big Banter takes the upperhand, but the crafty Chester Roosevelt is able to escape. He manages to take Big Banter down with a tiger driver, and once the big man is on the ground, Chester makes it a point to not allow him to get back to his feet. He delivers several stiff kicks to the side and ribcage of Big Banter, taking the wind right out of him. He goes for a very early pin attempt, hooking the leg. Big Banter kicks out at one.

Big Banter powers out, forcing Roosevelt off of him. He sits up and slowly gets to his feet, but Roosevelt runs at him and delivers a bicycle knee. If doesn't drop Big Banter, but it certainly staggers him. With his opponent groggy, Chester charges at him once more for a second bicycle knee. This time, Banter drops against the canvas. He opts against making the cover, however. Instead, he waits for Big Banter to get to his feet again. When he does so, he charges at him with all his might. But Big Banter is able to counter the gore, sidestepping it and rolling Chester up. He only manages a two count.

Chester Roosevelt, annoyed by the crowd cheering for Banter, yells out “I'M AN AMERICAN.” Big Banter takes no notice of it – he's most likely busy thinking about how much he'd enjoy a full English breakfast right now. The two men begin trading blows, and as Chester Roosevelt is slightly quicker than his opponent, he is able to take control. But it doesn't last for long, as Big Banter retaliates with a snap DDT. He then quickly drops an elbow onto Chester's stomach, which he follows up with a pin attempt. He's only able to manage a two count, once again.

Both men get to their feet. Big Banter runs towards Chester, but he's met with a clothesline. “The American” takes control of the match once again, working away on Banter's leg. He has a single leg Boston crab locked in and it does noticeable damage, as when he is able to force the break via the bottom rope, he struggles to get back to his feet. He limps forwards, right into the path of Roosevelt. This time, Chester is able to connect with the gore, and he transitions into a ground and pound. After successfully defending himself, Big Banter is able to push Chester Roosevelt away. Roosevelt comes right back at him, but an STO knocks him down. He's back up almost instantly, but Big Banter springs into life to drop him with “Fallen Angel”, his signature headlock driver. Sensing his opportunity, he waits for Chester to get back to his feet. When he does exactly that, he lunges forward for his “Big Banter Boot” finisher. However, Roosevelt ducks and sends Banter stomach-first into the turnbuckle. He rebounds backwards, and Chester charges at him for another gore. But Big Banter is able to catch him mid-air and drop him with his “Special K” finisher, much to the crowd's delight. He rolls Roosevelt over and makes the cover, securing the three count and the all-important victory.

WINNER: BIG BANTER (PINFALL @ 10:52)

Jessica Anderson segment

Jessica Anderson is backstage, dressed in the famous red, white and blue of the Union flag. She has her husband along side her, but he tries his hardest to avoid being caught on camera, allowing her to have her moment in the spotlight.

Jessica Anderson: “I cannot tell you just how excited I am to be here tonight. I navigated my way past some very difficult competition in Sydney last week, and now I'm here in London – without a doubt my favourite city in the world!”

The dropping of the city name undoubtedly sparks a cheap pop, but Jessica doesn't care. She's soaking every moment in, because there's no guarantee that she'll ever get another.

Jessica Anderson: “Tonight isn't about finally being back in London, though. It's all about Global Warfare and taking that International Championship home to Empire Pro Wrestling. I have reached the last sixteen with some of the greatest wrestlers around the world, so just making it this far is an honour in itself. But I'm not the 'just happy to be here' type. I'm not going into my match with Mercy Williams thinking that I've already achieved more than people thought I would and calling it a job well done.”

She sakes her head, definitely.

Jessica Anderson: “Not at all. It is my intentions to go out there and try my damn hardest to pick up the victory tonight, because not only do I owe it to Empire. I owe it to all of you. Without you, none of this would be possible. We have the greatest fans in the world, and I'd be honoured to represent them as the CWC International Champion!”

Jessica blows a quick kiss, followed by a wink, before exciting the scene.
