Opening Match: El Mito vs Kazadine

Kazadine is currently doing magic tricks in the ring when El Mito's theme music hits and he's introduced by Danielle Worley. El Mito comes out to a strong mixed reaction as he wastes no time sliding in to the ring. Referee Amari Scottsdale gives them the rules for this match and calls for the bell. Kazadine's girlfriend Paige is watching on again from ringside. As these two lock up in the center of the ring.

Kazadine starts forcing El Mito back but then El Mito breaks the hold and sneaks behind Kazadine and executing a Bridging German Suplex for the 1... 2.. kick out! Paige yells for Kazadine to stay focused and El Mito backs him up to the ropes and irish whips across the ring. Kazadine bounces back right in to a Crossbody for another pin attempt, 1... 2.. shoulder up.

Kazadine looks frustrated as he rolls off the mat. El Mito calls him on and Kazadine rushes in to a Drop Toe Hold and his neck falls right on to the middle rope. Kazadine is hurting as El Mito backs up and goes in for a 6-1-9. Kazadine moves out the way just in time and then Kazadine boots El Mito in the stomach and follows that up with a nasty Gutwrench Powerbomb!! Kazadine hooks a leg for the 1... 2.. shoulder up! Paige screams for Kazadine to stay on him. Kazadine scoops El Mito off the ground and Bodyslams him back to the canvas!

Kazadine goes for a Big Boot to the face but El Mito ducks under and sweeps Kazadine's leg from underneath him.

Paige gets up on the apron and starts shouting out at El Mito. The masked superstar then walks over to her and tells her how it is. Just then El Mito turns around and avoids a deadly Heart Punch from Kazadine just in the nick of time. Kazadine spins around and is met with "El Golpe Mortal" (Strong Super Spinkick)!! The crowd reacts as Kazadine's legs buckle underneath him and he collapses to the mat. El Mito simply covers him up for the 1... 2... 3! Paige could do nothing but watch on as "the Dark Prince" was just defeated.

Winner by Pinfall: El Mito

----------------

Kazadine eventually gets up in the ring and Paige is trying to help him back to his feet. Kazadine pulls his arm away from her and looks her over. Kazadine starts to shake his head and then directs her to bow down and kiss his feet. Paige looks around at the Salt Lake City crowd as they boo this sad display and she actually gets down on her knees and does it. Kazadine looks satisfied as he turns to exit the ring and calls her over to open the ropes for him. We cut backstage. Mike Dimter is shown laying on the floor of that familiar cage inside of Dark Stranger's locker room. He appears to be waking up from a nap when he sits up to look around at the dark room.

Dimter: "Is somebody there? Hello!? Is someone there?"

Footsteps are heard walking up to the cage and suddenly you see the figure of a man in a black mask.

Dimter: "Unknown? Is that you?? What are you doing here?"

Unknown: "Isn't it obvious?"

Dimter: "No. You know. You better go... if Dark Stranger finds you here..."

Unknown: "I'm not worried about Dark Stranger. I'm here to release you."

Dimter: "Wait. I don't have to sell you my soul or something?"

Unknown: "Nope. When I let you out of this cage... you're free to go."

Dimter: "What's the catch?"

Unknown: "No catch. Just like the superstars of the XWF... you are trapped... confined. Restricted only to the world you know around you. None of them are free!"

Dimter: "Well, how do you plan on getting me out of here?"

Unknown: "Easy. When GaGa was sleeping... I snuck these keys right off her."

He dangles keys in front of the cage door and Dimter's face lights up.

Unknown: "Just make me one promise. When I let you out of here... you never come back."

Dimter: "You mean leave the XWF forever? Fine! Anything but this... I can't take it anymore."

Unknown unlocks the door with that key and lets Mike Dimter out of the cage.

Unknown: "Hurry. Before it's too late..."

Dimter sprints out of the locker room and the scene cuts back to ringside.

"The Las Vegas Playboy" Darren Romeo vs Marcus "The Wolf" Andrews - Xtreme Rules

Andrews is circling around inside the squared circle awaiting Romeo to make his way out. Romeo finally walks through the curtains with a microphone in hand. The referee standing by looks somewhat confused that Romeo has not made his way down the eisle and is stalling for time.

Romeo: "Marcus Andrews."

Romeo smiles for a moment while rolling his eyes.

Romeo: "I know that you have this thirst that you feel the need to quench. It's kind of, well, how can I say this? You're kind of weird. I don't think I like you very much. You think that it might be cute but I'm somewhat concerned for my health here. I'm not about to contract hepatitis because of some inbred moron who likes to drink blood. I have a main event match at Xtreme Battle Zone regardless of what happens here tonight. So I think what that said? I'm taking the night off."

Romeo drops the microphone and walks out as the crowd boos. Andrews is going over to grab a microphone. Before he gets a chance, "The Real Mercy Killer" Robert Mastro jumps over the railing and into the ring. Mastro starts to brawl with Andrews as referees make their way down to break things up. Mastro continues making swings at Andrews who taunts him to bring it on.

Winner by No Contest: Marcus "The Wolf" Andrews

----------------

Marcus Andrews and Robert Mastro continue taking verbal jabs at each other as the referees try to keep them apart. "Fuck the System" by System of a Down cues up as President Lars Douglas makes his way out to a pop.

Lars: "Cut the music!"

The music cuts off as Mastro and Dargue continue to point fingers at each other.

Lars: "What the hell are you two guys arguing about anyway? Mastro did one of the security guys not realize that you work here is that why you had to jump in from the crowd?"

The crowd laughs.

Lars: "You know people might think that I don't pay attention to the wrestlers here. No? I did see that Mastro and Andrews have developed some sort of online feud and I'm still trying to figure out what it's about. That doesn't matter right now. Mastro, you wanted a Hell in a Cell match at Xtreme Battle Zone?"

Mastro and Andrews finally calm down enough that neither man have to be restrained. Mastro grabs a mic.

Mastro: "Yeah that's what I want! Give me a Hell in a Cell match with this little punkass!"

Lars: "Robert did it occur to you that the XWF is already going to be hauling an Elimination Chamber cage to Los Angeles? Have you thought this through at all?"

Mastro: "It can be done!"

Lars: "You're an idiot!"

The crowd pops.

Lars: "You're not getting a Hell in a Cell match. I'm sorry. Besides, you two are already booked for the Pay Per View."

Andrews and Mastro look intrigued.

Lars: "I think I'll cut you two a deal. I'm a business man, I can cut deals. Both of you have your matches and here's what I'll do. Whoever wins their match at the Pay Per View? They get to pick the stipulation that I approve of later down the road. We're not going to have a ninja sword on a pole match Andrews but um, I think we can work something out here."

Andrews grabs the microphone.

Andrews: "What happens if we both win?"

Lars: "Good question! If you both win? It comes down to who wins their match in a faster time. And if you both lose? Well, haha. I'll figure out what to do at that point. Mastro, in your match? You'll be facing one of the men who unseated the Mercy Killers for the Tag Team Championship. Your opponent will be Blaze Rodriguez!"

The crowd pops. Mastro looks indifferent at this time.

Lars: "And Andrews? Your opponent for the Pay Per View? Someone who knows you quite well. Someone who you'll be facing in an Xtreme Rules match. You can say he's a bit dangerous. It'll be, Cliff Saxton!"

The crowd pops again as Andrews shakes his head.

Lars: "I have business to take care of boys. Now get out of my ring before I feed you two to bear!"

Lars drops the microphone and walks off as "Fuck the System" by System of a Down plays one more time. The camera cuts out.

----------------

----------------

The camera cuts to William Knighthawk who has a television in the SOS lockerroom. Robert Mastro walks in as William Knighthawk prepares for his match with Carlos Shotgun.

Mastro: "That little pissass Dargue.. Oh wait, Marcus Andrews. He's lucky Lars already booked us in matches for the Pay Per View."

Knighthawk: "Don't worry about that Robert, the SOS have other priorities at this time. The SOS have to contend with Carlos Shotgun. I realize that Shotgun is an Elite. He is NOT a Skeleton of Society. Unlike your old tag partner the Hellion, I actually back up the words that I say. Tonight, Shotgun is going to lose. Everyone watching wants to throw all their attention to guys like Rage and Pike Lorenzo. Makes it that much more satisfying when I show them exactly what William Knighthawk is all about!"

Knighthawk continues to gear up as the camera cuts to ringside.

WE… ARE… HERE…

Adkins: “You won’t do shit Shotgun. You are in NO position to make threats. You just got beat in the middle of the ring. I saw it. You saw it. The whole world saw it. Last week you got lucky against Mastro. Let me tell you something buddy. I know you and I can SEE you. You stand there exploiting the elite name, holding on for dear life trying to stay relevant. You put on a suit and fly around all the while whoring out your pretty little wife and all of this is for one reason and one reason only. You want to hide the fact that the Shotgun we all knew, the Shotgun who dominated the world, the almighty Elite Savior himself is nothing but a mere shell of his former self…”

Shotgun looks at Adkins coldly who slowly walks down to the ring.

Adkins: “You like to act like this whole business is beneath you when the fact of the matter is that you are beneath this business. You are beneath everyone and most importantly of all… you are beneath ME. Shotgun, at Dead End I had the title won. I looked at the Elite Killer in the eyes and tamed that bitch for the hell of it. Both you and Falkenyork had their turns and you both failed. You failed so hard Rage downright assfucked the both of you. Me? I exposed him as a fluke. I showed the world I AM the best. And yet you couldn’t stand it, could you? You just had to ruin it for me. Tsk, tsk. And still, here you are, getting the spotlight you don’t deserve, pandering to this people pretending to be some kind of mighty hero so people will stroke your ego.”

Adkins slides into the ring and looks at Shotgun who remains motionless.

Adkins: “The Syndicate doesn’t ask for things Shotgun. We take them. Carlos, your time is up. All this adoration, all this time being spent hyping your ego is nothing but a waste. It’s time I prove once and for all that I am better than you. January 22nd, 2012 Shotgun… that was the day when you took my title. January 22nd, 2012, Los Angeles California. There hasn’t been a day since then where I haven’t dreamed of getting to relive that day. There hasn’t been one single fuckin day where I didn’t wish I could erase that date once and for all. And yet… Xtreme Battle Zone… Los Angeles, California, 2013 I will finally get my wish. That will be the day where I right the wrongs. That will be the day when I rectify my mistake. That is the day when I expose you as a fraud, a sad little billionaire who can’t do shit without his wifey stroking his cock and reassuring him that he’s an ‘elite’.“

Shotgun: “…You’re on.”

The fans cheer as Adkins starts cackling.

Adkins: “Of course I am. You are so god damned predictable. Charlie boy, this isn’t a normal match. I don’t want to wrestle you. I don’t want to put on a show. I want to hurt you. I want to destroy you. It will be no holds barred anything goes.”

Shotgun: “Are you done? I’m tired of talking I think it’s time to punch your teeth out.”

Shotgun drops the microphone and Adkins keeps his cool and extends his arm out asking him to keep his distance.

Adkins: “I am not done. You see, you are so god damned petulant. I’m not one of these peons Shotgun. I make my own rules. I’m the man who walks up to you and tells the truth to your fuckin face so here’s the truth. At Xtreme Battle Zone I will prove beyond a shadow of a man that I am better than you in every possible way. I was a better champion than you. I am a better wrestler than you. I am far more good looking, in case you didn’t know… ah yes, once upon a time not that long ago I was fucking your wife on a regular basis and she LOVED IT! LOVED IT! HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!”

Adkins drops the microphone and immediately gets tackled by Shotgun who hits him with rights with everything he’s got. Adkin’s lip immediately starts bleeding as security runs down to the ring. Adkins puts his arms up and refuses to defend himself while he continues to cackle and Shotgun continues to hit him.

Adkins: “SHE LOVED IT! LOVED IT! HAHA!”

Shotgun picks him up and headbutts him splitting his forehead open. He continues laughing as security restrains Shotgun. He pushes them off and goes to Adkins who still remains helpless on the mat laughing it up. Shotgun gets tackled by security as more and more personnel runs to the ring. Shotgun is seen screaming in anger that he will kill Adkins while Adkins runs his hand over his face sees the blood and erupts into an even harder laugh and the show comes to an end.
