Monday Night Brawl takes the air live from the Grand Olympic Auditorium in downtown Los Angeles as "Uprising" by Muse begins to blair over the sound system which brings the GOA fans to there feet. Camera's pan around the GOA as various signs are displayed featuring: "CCP got Lucky", "Superman gots nothing on Nick Ryan", "Frost and James = Match of the Year", "Congratulations Mikel Batriani", "Where's Borden?", "Stevens sucks"... just to name a few as the scene fades to ringside where Derrick Diamond and Flash Rotten are shown to call tonight's action!
Diamond: Welcome everyone once again to another edition of Monday Night Brawl! I'm Derrick Diamond and joining me as always is Flash Rotten and Flash we're coming off an incredible Armageddon 5 Pay Per View event that was so explosive words cannot describe.
Rotten: If you missed the show live you had better be sure to catch the replay because it certainly was one for the ages, but you know the best part Diamond?
Diamond: What's that?
Rotten: Chronic Chris Page is still the World Heavyweight Champion!
Diamond: That might be true Flash but Nick Ryan and Chris Page for nearly 45 minutes beat the crap out of each other from one side of the Staples Center to the other. I'm sure that this issue between the two of them are far, far from over.
Rotten: Tonight we're scheduled to hear from both Nick Ryan and Chris Page regarding the Hardcore Match that has left both men hospitalized for an entire week.
Diamond: Also at Armageddon 5 the Untouchables imploded going to a 40 minute draw...
Rotten: Frost and James put on a clinic out here... the only downside is there wasn't a definitive winner. Now I'm sure much like Ryan and Page the issues between Frost and James are far from over.
Diamond: A new Intercontinental Champion was crowned! Mikel Batriani defeated Seth Stevens just a mere day before Stevens tied Dean James as the longest reigning IC Champion.
Rotten: You talk about a fluke! Now I've talked to Seth personally and from what I understand he is issuing his rematch clause live at Caged In on September 13th. So Mikel.. I hope you enjoy your run as Champion because I hear Seth is more pissed off then he's ever been before.
Diamond: Lots of action transpired at Armageddon 5 but moving on to tonight we've got 2 solid matches for ya featuring a Pink Slip Match between Johnny O'Bom taking on Xander Michaels. The loser of this match will be fired live here tonight.
Rotten: Both mens backs are against the wall tonight. It's either perform or hit the highway.
Diamond: But in our Main Event tonight it features Dean James taking on Mikel Batriani in a non title match.
Rotten: There is some history between Mikel and James. Mikel in his debute in the WGWF knocked on Dean while weeks later Dean knocked off Mikel. Tonight the rubber match takes place and it will happen live in front of our very eyes.
Diamond: I don't know about you Flash but I think it's time to take things to the ring!
"Back in Black" by AC/DC begins to play..
Diamond: Uh? We're scheduled for our opening match..
Rotten: I guess someone else had other plans..
The lights in the arena go pitch black.
Diamond: Now what?!
The crowd responds with anticipation. The black out last several seconds until the lights come back up to reveal MATT HOPKINS standing at the top of the ramp! The fans erupt into a thunderous ovation!
Rotten: What the hell is he doing here!!!
Diamond: Matt Hopkins; former co-owner of the WGWF is here live in the GOA!
Hopkins is dressed in a black Armani suit, he begins to walk towards the ring.
Rotten: But why is he here tonight??
Diamond: I guess we're about to find out!
Hopkins makes his way to ringside before walking up the steel steps and entering the ring. He walks across the ring where Donald Masters hands over the microphone. The music fades away leaving a "HOPKINS" chant coming from the WGWF faithful fans.
Hopkins: Wow!
Matt states.
Hopkins: You talk about a welcome!
Hopkins states as he looks around the GOA which now breaks out into a "Welcome Back" chant which brings a smile to Matt's face as he continues.
Hopkins: I guess I should start off by telling you all exactly why I'm here tonight. You see a few weeks ago I got a call from Paul Frost; apparently he and the Board of Directors passed a vote to bring me back to the WGWF to oversea the day to day opporations...
The crowd roars with approval.
Hopkins: When I was offered the job I was a little hesitant, but now I know that by coming back tonight I've made the right decision!
Again the crowd pops as Hopkins continues.
Hopkins: I was suppose to be at Armageddon last week but due to travel issues I didn't make the show... but I did happen to catch then entire card from top to bottom live on Pay-Per-View and the first thing I want to address is the current World Title situation...
The crowd quiets down with anticipation.
Hopkins: Over the last week or so since Armageddon I've had a chance to talk with both Chris Page..
Crowd boo's
Hopkins: And Nick Ryan...
The crowd erupts.
Hopkins: Now, if you hear it from Page he'll say that Nick had his shot and blew it, he'll say that Nick doesn't deserve another shot at the WGWF World Heavyweight Championship..
The crowd roars with boo's.
Hopkins: If you hear it from Nick he'll say he had Page right where he wanted him and if he got another shot at the World Title then he would be sure to bring the gold home...
The crowd goes ballistic.
Hopkins: Which leaves me in one hell of a position now doesn't it? On the one hand the last person you want to make an enemy out of is Chris Page, but on the other hand at Armageddon there wasn't a clear cut winner. So what I've decided to do is this.. I talked to Page and got an idea on where he stood, I talked to Nick and got an idea on where he stood.. and personally I like the idea that Nick Ryan gave me so here is what we're going to do.
The crowd calms down with anticipation.
Hopkins: Next month's Pay-Per-View is entitled "Caged In", the name is rather fitting with the match up Nick Ryan has proposed. So what we're going to do is this.. There WILL BE a return match for the WGWF World Heavyweight Championship between Nick Ryan and Chronic Chris Page!
The fans erupt with a huge pop.
Hopkins: And that match will take place inside of HELL IN A CELL!
The roof literally erupts!
Hopkins: And there will be a winner!
Rotten: He can't do that!
Diamond: I think he just did!
Hopkins: Speaking of Caged In I've taken it upon myself to put every single match on the card inside a Steel Cage and add an extra stipulation. Now we all saw the war that Paul Frost and Dean James went through at Armageddon 5.. well at Caged In there will be a return match; not only will these two gladiators be inside a Steel Cage but not only that... the only way to win this match will be via SUBMISSION! So we're going to have a Submission Steel Cage Match!
The fans erupt!
Hopkins: Earlier today I was approached by former Intercontinental Champion Seth Stevens for a return match at Caged In.. well Seth, you're going to get it. Only it will be in the form of a FIRST BLOOD STEEL CAGE MATCH! Which means before either Mikel or you can escape the cage or go for a pinfall you're going to have to bust then other person wide ass open!
Another massive pop is heard from the crowd as Hopkins continues.
Hopkins: There ya have it folks. Three HUGE rematches for Caged In already on the table. Over the next few weeks I'll have more announcements regarding this epic Pay-Per-View. Caged In is going to be just that... CAGED IN!
Hopkins drops the mic as "Back in Black" begins to play once again as Matt makes his exit.
Diamond: WOW! Matt Hopkins returns and returns in a HUGE way. Already for Caged In a Steel Cage First Blood Match, a Steel Cage Submission Match, but the big one the return match for the World Heavyweight Championship to be contested inside Hell in a Cell!
Rotten: Derrick later on tonight we're going to hear from both CCP and Nick Ryan who are both still recovering a local medical facility here in Los Angeles. I can only wonder what is going to be said between the two of these guys!
"Downfall of us All" by A Day to Remember begins to play. The crowd responds with a neutral pop.
Masters: The following contest is a Pink Slip Match! About to make his way to the ring he is JOHNNY O'BOM!
O'Bom runs down towards the ring tagging the fans hands before sliding into the ring under the bottom rope awaiting his opposition..
Masters: And his opponent... XANDER MICHAELS!
Xander comes out from the back and makes his way to the ring. He slides into the ring.
DING....DING...DING...
The bell sounds as Xander rushes towards O'Bom.. O'Bom ducks Xanders Clothesline, Xander bounces off the ropes into a boot to the midsection from O'Bom.. The fans erupts as O'Bom lands the Twist of Fate!!
Referee: ONE.... TWO.... THREE!
DING...DING..DING..
Diamond: It's over! I don't believe it! Johnny O'Bom has just defeated Xander Michaels in no time to keep his job within the WGWF!
Rotten: You talk about a shock!
O'Bom stands to his feet with his arm raised in victory.
Diamond: And like that... Xander.. You're Fired!
Diamond: Ladies and Gentleman I'm being told that we've got live via satillite both Nick Ryan and Chronic Chris Page from their respective hospital rooms here in Los Angeles.
The scene fades to the Jumbo Tron where a mixed reaction is heard as both Nick Ryan and Chronic Chris Page are shown on a split screen. Both men are laying in a hospital bed with IV's in there right arms. CCP has his head wrapped in bandages and a finger split on his left hand while Nick is shown with stictches in his head, a splint on his right hand, and various bandages over his arms.
Diamond: Gentleman first let me thank both of you for agreeing to let our cameras in for this quick interview.
Rotten: Hey Champ! Good to see you!
Diamond: Chris the first thing I want to ask you is what are your thoughts on the HUGE announcement we heard tonight from Matt Hopkins regarding the Hell in a Cell match for the World Title at Caged In between you and Nick Ryan?
CCP: Honestly Derrick for 45 minutes at Armageddon I beat the shit out of Nick Ryan from one side of the building to the other. In 45 minutes Nick Ryan couldn't get the job done! As the World Heavyweight Champion it's not my job to beat the challenger... it's their job to beat me which is something that needle dick couldn't do. For him to be given another shot at the World Title is a joke... I've got a lot more to say, but instead of saying it here I think I'm going to save my words for next week because I'm going to be at Brawl and I'm going to call out Matt Hopkins! Get them outta here!
Suddenly camera right loses feed and Nick Ryan takes over the full jumbo tron.
Diamond: Nick, how you feeling?
Nick Ryan- "I've been picking spliters out of my ass for the last week.. I've got splinters in places I knew I could have em'.."
Diamond: What do you think of Matt Hopkins taking your idea for Hell in a Cell at Caged In?
Nick Ryan- "Page and I went through a 45 minute slugfest. Neither one of us will be the same after that match. Both of us left a piece of ourselves in that ring. Where I come from people say if you're going to beat someone then beat them at there own match. Chris Page has always claimed that his speciality match has been Hell in a Cell... so if that's his match then why does he have a problem with entering a Cell with me? If it's truly his match then he shouldn't have a problem with walking that aisle entering the Cell and walk out still the World Champion."
Diamond: Can you tell us of your injuries?
Nick Ryan- "Few bruised ribs, fracture finger, bumps and bruises... but make no mistake about it I will be in the GOA live next week to hear first hand what Chris Page has got to say."
Diamond: Thank you Nick.
The Jumbo Tron fades as the scene fades back to ringside.
Rotten: The trouble Nick Ryan is about to find himself in is off the charts. Matt Hopkins has signed Nick's death certificate."
Diamond: Personally I love the concept of locking these two in a Cell... all the BS aside let's see who the best is!
Rotten: It's Page hands down.
Diamond: You have your opinion and I've got mine. At Caged In all bets are off and let's see who the best of the best truly is.
Rotten: Yea whatever..
Diamond: Moving on it's now time for our Main Event of the evening... so take it away Donald Masters..
Scene cuts to the middle of the ring where Masters stands.
Masters: Ladies and Gentleman the following contest is scheduled for one fall and is your Non Title Main Event of the evening!
The crowd responds with a huge pop which quickly turns into boo's as “Antidote” by Story of the Year rips across the PA.
Masters: Introducing first.. about to make his way to the ring... he is DEAN JAMES!!
The boo's grow increasing louder as James appears at the top of the ramp. He walks towards the ring barely paying any of the fans any attention. Dean enters the ring and awaits his opposition for the night.
Masters: And his opponent...
"The Rulers Back" by Jay-Z begins to play bringing the GOA to it's feet.
Masters: About to make his way to the ring.. he is the NEW WGWF INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION.. MIKEL BATRIANI!!
The fans erupt louder as Mikel appears at the top of the ramp with the IC title firmly around his waist. Mikel begins to walk towards the ring not taking his eyes of Dean James. Mikel slides into the ring under the bottom rope before unstrapping the gold from his waist and hoisting it high in the air to one of the loudest pops of the night! Mikel places the IC title in the hands of the referee who turns it over to the time keeper before signaling for the bell
DING...DING...DING...
Diamond: Here we go!
Mikel and Dean lock up center ring. Each man jockey for position but shove off each other with neither man gaining the advantage. They lock up a second time this time Mikel works Dean back into the ropes. The referee begins his manditorty count which Mikel breaks at the three count giving Dean James a clean break. Dean instantly claims Mikel had a handful of hair drawing heat from the crowd as the official admonishes Mikel as Dean walks out to center ring where he and Mikel tie up for a third time; only this time it's Dean who takes Mikel back into the ropes with a handful of hair! The official begins to make his count and at the four count Dean drives a knee to the midsection of Mikel before shooting him across the ring and into the ropes, Mikel bounces off the ropes, Dean ducks his head, Mikel leap frogs over Dean and bounces off the ropes and into a hiptoss from James, James attempts to picks up Mikel, Mikel kicks Dean off with both feet knocking him to the mat. Both Mikel and Dean are up at the same time, Dean charges Mikel, Mikel drops down to the mat, Dean leaps over Mikel bouncing off the ropes, Mikel is up catching Dean with a arm drag take over, as Dean gets up he sweeps the legs of Mikel making a quick cover..

Referee: ONE... TWO...
James shoots a shoulder up off the mat. Mikel gets to his feet picking up Dean by the hair but Dean quickly comes forward snapping Mikel over with a overhead belly to belly suplex! The crowd boo's Dean as he reaches his feet and begins to taunt Mikel before kicking him in the head. Dean picks up Mikel blasting him with a European Uppercut knocking him back into a set of turnbuckles. Dean comes forward lacing the chest of Mikel with a knife edge chop before whipping Mikel across the ring into the opposite set of buckles, Dean charges in after Mikel who manages to land a reverse elbow to the jaw of James. Mikel jumps up to the middle ropes before leaping off the a missile dropkick right on the money knocking James to the mat. Dean quickly rolls to the outside of the ring drawing major heat from the crowd as Mikel gets to a standing base in the ring.
Diamond: It's getting a little too hot in the kitchen for Dean tonight isn't Flash?
Rotten: Uh.. NO! Dean is too smart to let Mikel dictate the pace of this match alas he is taking some time to gather his thoughts.
The official begins to count Dean who has his back to the ring and is trash talking the fans on the front row. Inside the ring Mikel hits the ropes gaining momentum and connects with a baseball slide dropkick to the back of James sending him stomach first into the guardrail surrounding the ringside area. Mikel is now out to the floor, he spins James around landing a stiff right hand before attempting to whip Dean towards the ring post, Dean reverses the attempt and sends Mikel bouncing right shoulder first off the ring post sending him to the floor! Dean rolls into the ring breaking the count before rolling back out to the arena floor where he begins to stomp away at the right shoulder of Mikel. Dean lands several stomps before picking up Mikel, he takes the right arm and twists it around the back of Mikel before sending him shoulder first into the ring post a second time before rolling Mikel back into the ring. Dean is right behind him making a cover..
Referee: ONE.... TWO... THR
Mikel shoots a shoulder off the mat to a roar from the crowd.
Diamond: It's going to take more then that to defeat Mikel Batriani.
Rotten: But has the damage already been done? We know how Dean loves to use the Crossface as a Submission.
James is back to his feet following the near fall. He picks up Mikel before blasting him with a right hand sending him back into the ropes. Dean shoots Mikel across the ring, Mikel bounces off the ropes, Dean ducks his head but Mikel manages to plant him with a DDT! However Mikel clutches his right shoulder as he attempts to get to a vertical base. The official checks with Mikel who refuses to give up. Dean begins to work his way to his knees, Mikel comes forward placing a boot to the chest of Dean before picking him up with his left hand, he backs Dean into a set of turnbuckels before stepping up to the middle rope, Mikel's right arm is clutched to his body as he begins to hammer down with right hands using his left hand. The crowd counts along but as Mikel reaches punch number 6 Dean goes under Mikel before Power Bombing him to the mat! Dean covers placing his feet on the middle ropes!
Referee: ONE... TWO... THRE
Diamond: Batriani kicks out! Even with the feet of Dean James on the ropes!
Rotten: My monitor went out.. I didn't see all that.
Diamond: Of course you didn't Flash.
Dean is to his feet complaining of a slow count. The official shows him two fingers which garners Dean to shove the official back into the ropes.
Rotten: Dean you don't need risk Disqualication...
The offical comes back off the ropes shoving Dean back to a roar from the crowd as he points to the WGWF referee emblem on his shirt threatening Dean with a Disqualification.. Mikel begins to stir, he reaches a vertical base.. Dean turns around only to catch an inverted Atomic Drop from Mikel to the delight of the crowd. Mikel then places a boot to the midsection before picking up Dean and driving him into the mat with a Brain Buster suplex spiking Dean head first into the mat! Mikel rolls over into the cover placing an arm over the chest of Dean..
Referee: ONE..... TWO.... THRE...
OOOOOOOOO is heard from the crowd in unison as Dean barely shoots a shoulder up off the mat!
Diamond: Dear god how close was that!! We're talking inches.
Rotten: However that doesn't matter because Mikel has yet to get the job done.
The crowd begins a solid "BATRIANI" chant as Mikel pulls himself to his feet using the ropes for assistance. Dean slowly begins to stir on the mat, Mikel comes over locking in a Dragon Sleeper!
Diamond: Batriani is trying to put him away with a submission!!
Mikel applies the hold adding more pressure. The referee begins to ask Dean if he wants to give up which Dean waves off. Mikel applies more pressure, but as he does Dean begins to fight his way back to a vertical base turning into the Dragon Sleeper before pealing off a Northern Light Suplex with a bridge.
Referee: ONE.... TWO.... THRE
Mikel kicks out! The roof explodes as both me lay on the mat. The referee begins to make his standing 10 count.
Diamond: What a match these two men are putting on in front of our very eyes.
Rotten: Did someone say we where on Pay-Per-View tonight? Because this is the quality you get.

Dean begins to stir but Mikel is there to pick him up by the hair with his left arm, Dean manages to counter driving Mikel back into a set of turnbuckles, it's there Dean begins to drive in hard shoulder blocks. The official attempts to break it up but Dean breaks on his own looking to send Mikel across the ring into the opposite buckles only to have Mikel counter and send Dean back into the corner in which they came from causing him to smash into the referee! Dean staggers out backwards into DAYLIGHT ROBBERY from Mikel Batriani! The GOA erupts as Mikel makes a cover! The referee is down as we hear the crowd chant...
Crowd: ONE.... TWO..... THREE....
Diamond: This should be over!!
Suddenly jumping the security barrier is SETH STEVENS... and he's got a steel chair!
Rotten: YES! Get em' Seth! Get retribution!
Seth slides into the ring as we see Mikel roll off the cover. As he reaches his feet he turns to see what the commotion is about only to be wacked over the head with so much force his head dents the chair that Stevens has swung!
Diamond: DAMNIT!
Mikel falls completely backwards landing on his back. Stevens drops the steel chair before making his way to a set of turnbuckles. He leaps to the top rope and without hesitation leaps off landing the 10 Star Frog Splash on the prone body of Batriani! Dean now begins to stir. As he reaches his feet he see's Stevens before looking down at a fallen Mikel. James flips over Mikel to his stomach before locking in the Crippler Crossface!
Diamond: Not like this! Come on!
Rotten: Haha! I love it!
Stevens rolls to the outside pulling the chair out with him before running around the ring to where the official lays. Stevens begins to push him around before slapping him in the face several times bring the referee too... Dean wreches back on the Crossface. With the arm and shoulder taking a pounding Mikel has no choice but to tap out just as the referee rolls over!
DING...DING...DING...
Masters: Ladies and Gentleman the winner of the match via submission...DEAN JAMES!
“Antidote” by Story of the Year once again begins to play.
Diamond: I can't believe that damn Seth Stevens interfered in a classic we where having tonight on Brawl!
Rotten: Yeah, yeah, yeah.. but in other news Dean James has won yet another match against Mikel Batirani!
Diamond: And I bet he'll take it too!
Dean releases the hold on Mikel as he rolls out to the arena floor.

Xander comes out from the back and makes his way to the ring. He slides into the ring.
DING....DING...DING...
The bell sounds as Xander rushes towards O'Bom.. O'Bom ducks Xanders Clothesline, Xander bounces off the ropes into a boot to the midsection from O'Bom.. The fans erupts as O'Bom lands the Twist of Fate!!
Referee: ONE.... TWO.... THREE!
DING...DING..DING..
Diamond: It's over! I don't believe it! Johnny O'Bom has just defeated Xander Michaels in no time to keep his job within the WGWF!
Rotten: You talk about a shock!
O'Bom stands to his feet with his arm raised in victory.
Diamond: And like that... Xander.. You're Fired!
Diamond: Ladies and Gentleman I'm being told that we've got live via satillite both Nick Ryan and Chronic Chris Page from their respective hospital rooms here in Los Angeles.
The scene fades to the Jumbo Tron where a mixed reaction is heard as both Nick Ryan and Chronic Chris Page are shown on a split screen. Both men are laying in a hospital bed with IV's in there right arms. CCP has his head wrapped in bandages and a finger split on his left hand while Nick is shown with stictches in his head, a splint on his right hand, and various bandages over his arms.
Diamond: Gentleman first let me thank both of you for agreeing to let our cameras in for this quick interview.
Rotten: Hey Champ! Good to see you!
Diamond: Chris the first thing I want to ask you is what are your thoughts on the HUGE announcement we heard tonight from Matt Hopkins regarding the Hell in a Cell match for the World Title at Caged In between you and Nick Ryan?
CCP: Honestly Derrick for 45 minutes at Armageddon I beat the shit out of Nick Ryan from one side of the building to the other. In 45 minutes Nick Ryan couldn't get the job done! As the World Heavyweight Champion it's not my job to beat the challenger... it's their job to beat me which is something that needle dick couldn't do. For him to be given another shot at the World Title is a joke... I've got a lot more to say, but instead of saying it here I think I'm going to save my words for next week because I'm going to be at Brawl and I'm going to call out Matt Hopkins! Get them outta here!
Suddenly camera right loses feed and Nick Ryan takes over the full jumbo tron.
Diamond: Nick, how you feeling?
Nick Ryan- "I've been picking spliters out of my ass for the last week.. I've got splinters in places I knew I could have em'.."
Diamond: What do you think of Matt Hopkins taking your idea for Hell in a Cell at Caged In?
Nick Ryan- "Page and I went through a 45 minute slugfest. Neither one of us will be the same after that match. Both of us left a piece of ourselves in that ring. Where I come from people say if you're going to beat someone then beat them at there own match. Chris Page has always claimed that his speciality match has been Hell in a Cell... so if that's his match then why does he have a problem with entering a Cell with me? If it's truly his match then he shouldn't have a problem with walking that aisle entering the Cell and walk out still the World Champion."
Diamond: Can you tell us of your injuries?
Nick Ryan- "Few bruised ribs, fracture finger, bumps and bruises... but make no mistake about it I will be in the GOA live next week to hear first hand what Chris Page has got to say."
Diamond: Thank you Nick.
The Jumbo Tron fades as the scene fades back to ringside.
Rotten: The trouble Nick Ryan is about to find himself in is off the charts. Matt Hopkins has signed Nick's death certificate."
Diamond: Personally I love the concept of locking these two in a Cell... all the BS aside let's see who the best is!
Rotten: It's Page hands down.
Diamond: You have your opinion and I've got mine. At Caged In all bets are off and let's see who the best of the best truly is.
Rotten: Yea whatever..
Diamond: Moving on it's now time for our Main Event of the evening... so take it away Donald Masters..
