Opening Segment: GM Revealed
The show kicks off with a video package, introducing Christian Cage as the new GM of Fury. Cage enters the ring, a smug grin on his face as the crowd erupts in boos.
Christian Cage:
“AYW has been missing something—someone to guide you, someone to keep you all in line. Lucky for you, Daddy’s home! And I know there are some of you who really need a father figure. Too bad your fathers weren’t there for you when it mattered!”
The crowd boos louder, but Cage just smirks.
Christian Cage:
“Someone who doesn’t need guidance, though? Bronson Reed. I encourage him to crush everything in his path. That’s why tonight, Bronson will be in another squash match. Get ready for a beatdown!”
“This is just the beginning of the Cage era of wrestling. It will serve you best to line up and follow my orders.”
Match 1: Bronson Reed vs. Local Talent (Squash Match)
Bronson Reed storms to the ring with a menacing look, and the local competitor already looks terrified. As the bell rings, Reed steamrolls his opponent, hitting a massive Tsunami splash to pick up the win in under two minutes.
Nigel McGuinness:
“That’s exactly what Christian Cage wants—dominance, destruction, and someone who can do the heavy lifting. Bronson Reed, ladies and gentlemen!”
Michael Cole:
“That was brutal! Reed is an absolute monster under Cage’s leadership.”
Backstage Segment: Jon Moxley Confronts Christian Cage
Backstage, Jon Moxley is seen pacing, visibly frustrated with the situation brewing between him, Samoa Joe, and Braun Strowman. Christian Cage walks up, oozing confidence.
Christian Cage:
“You seem upset, Jon. You’ve lost things, haven’t you? Titles, fathers, direction. Maybe what you need is a guiding hand—someone like me to lead the way.”
Moxley glares at Cage before storming off without saying a word.
Excalibur:
“Moxley is not a man to mess with, but Christian Cage might be pushing him over the edge!”
Commentary Update on JR’s Condition
During the broadcast, the commentary team takes a moment to provide an update on JR’s recovery after the brutal attack by Bronson Reed on Episode 2.
Michael Cole:
“Before we get back to the action, we wanted to give everyone an update on the condition of our dear friend JR. After the brutal assault by Bronson Reed last week, JR suffered multiple injuries and is expected to be out for a few months.”
Excalibur:
“It’s tough news for all of us. JR is a legend, and we wish him the best in his recovery. But we all know JR—he’s a fighter.”
Nigel McGuinness:
“Oh come on, Cole, Excalibur. JR should’ve known better than to stand in the way of a wrecking ball like Bronson Reed. If you get in Reed’s path, you’re going to get flattened. Simple as that!”
Michael Cole:
“That’s harsh, Nigel, even for you.”
Nigel McGuinness:
“Truth hurts, Cole. Maybe JR needs to spend a bit more time in the commentary booth and less time in harm’s way.”
Match 2: AYW World Championship Tournament – Roman Reigns vs. Bryan Danielson
The crowd is electric as Roman Reigns and Bryan Danielson face off. The match is a mix of technical brilliance from Danielson and raw power from Reigns. Reigns targets Danielson’s body, while Danielson works on Reigns’ arm, trying to weaken him for the Yes Lock.
Michael Cole:
“This is an incredible clash between two of the best in the business! This could easily have been a WrestleMania main event match!”
Excalibur:
“What’s WrestleMania Cole? Oh never mind, we won’t go there.”
After a long, hard-fought battle, Reigns dodges a running knee and hits a surprise Spear to secure the victory.
Nigel McGuinness:
“That’s why Roman Reigns is the Tribal Chief! No one can withstand that kind of impact!”
Danielson looks dejected as he looks up at Reigns celebrating on his way up the ramp. What’s next for the American Dragon?
Backstage Segment: Tag Team Division Storyline
Setting: Backstage at the UBS Arena, FTR and The Lucha Brothers are seen arguing heatedly about who deserves a shot at the AYW Tag Team Titles. The tension is palpable as both teams exchange heated words.
FTR’s Cash Wheeler:
“We’ve been the top team here since day one. We deserve that title shot, not you guys!”
Lucha Brothers’ Penta El Zero Miedo:
“You think you can just walk in and demand a title shot? We’re the best luchadores in the world! You’re just another team standing in our way!”
As the argument escalates, Christian Cage strides in, exuding confidence with a sly grin.
Christian Cage:
“Wow, wow, wow! Love the fire from both teams! But listen up—if you both want to prove you’re worthy, I’ve got the perfect idea. Next week, you’ll both face off in a match to determine who gets the shot at the AYW Tag Team Titles at Uprising. But here’s the catch: it’s going to be a Tornado Tag Team Match!”
Both teams exchange surprised looks, then quickly turn back to Christian, now intrigued.
FTR’s Dax Harwood:
“We’ll show you how it’s done. This is our chance to prove we’re the best!”
Lucha Brothers’ Rey Fenix:
“You won’t be able to handle our high-flying style!”
Christian Cage:
“Excellent! I can’t wait to see the chaos! But remember, only one team will walk away with the title shot. And as for the other… well, maybe they should consider taking a long vacation. Because you know what? Daddy always knows best!”
As Cage walks away, the tension lingers, both teams fired up and ready to prove themselves.
Backstage Segment: Samoa Joe, Braun Strowman, and Jon Moxley Confrontation
Samoa Joe and Braun Strowman are seen arguing backstage, shoving each other as tensions rise. Christian Cage steps into frame, grinning.
Christian Cage:
“Save it for Uprising, boys. You’ll get to tear each other apart then, but until that day, try not to break anything… or each other.”
Strowman and Joe stare each other down, but the tension simmers down as Cage walks away, clearly enjoying the chaos he’s stirring up.
Backstage at the UBS Arena, Toni Storm is preparing for her upcoming match.
Toni Storm is stretching and warming up, focusing on her match tonight. Suddenly, she is approached by Willow Nightingale, who looks excited.
Willow Nightingale:
“Toni! I just wanted to say, I’m really rooting for you tonight! You’ve got this!”
Toni Storm:
“Thanks, Willow. I appreciate it! But I’m not just here to win—I’m here to take that title. The women’s division is getting tougher, and I need to prove I’m at the top.”
Willow Nightingale:
“Absolutely! You’re going to show everyone what you’re made of!”
They share a supportive moment before Toni heads out for her match. Willow has a determined look on her face as Storm leaves.
Match 3: Women’s Division – Hikaru Shida vs. Toni Storm
Hikaru Shida and Toni Storm go head-to-head as part of the build towards the women’s battle royale at Uprising. The match is a hard-hitting contest, with Storm using her strength to wear down Shida, but Shida’s quickness and technical ability give her the upper hand.
Michael Cole:
“Both of these women are trying to prove they deserve a shot at the Women’s Championship at Uprising!”
After an intense back-and-forth match, Shida hits a devastating Katana knee strike to pick up the win.
Winner: Hikaru Shida
Excalibur:
“Shida looks more than ready for the battle royale at Uprising. Could she be the first AYW Women’s Champion?”
Main Event: AYW World Championship Tournament – Malakai Black vs. Cody Rhodes
The tension between Cody Rhodes and Malakai Black is palpable. Cody starts off fast, taking the fight to Malakai with high-impact moves. But as Cody sets up for Cross Rhodes, the lights flicker, and Brody King appears at ringside.
Excalibur:
“What’s Brody King doing here? Cody’s about to finish Malakai!”
Brody distracts Cody long enough for Malakai to capitalize, hitting Black Mass to pick up the win.
Winner: Malakai Black
Nigel McGuinness:
“Malakai Black, ever the opportunist, and with a little help from his friend, Cody’s dreams just went up in smoke!”
Final Segment: Christian Cage’s Closing Words
Christian Cage appears on the stage one more time to address the crowd.
Christian Cage:
“I’m just getting started. Bronson Reed, Malakai Black—this is the future of AYW. And with me pulling the strings, the rest of you better fall in line… or I’ll break you down piece by piece. Because remember, Daddy always knows best.”
Nigel McGuinness:
“Christian Cage is a mastermind, Michael! This is going to be fun to watch.”
Michael Cole:
“He’s already making his mark in AYW, but is this the kind of leadership we need?”
