Match One: Ki Morbid vs Dallas Stockton - Queen of Xtreme Qualifier
Dallas Stockon is in the ring already and taunting the fans. Ki Morbid's theme music hits and she makes her way out to a nice ovation. A lot of people in Berlin, Germany are supporting the Louisiana girl tonight. The referee Jake Evans calls for the bell. DING DING!
They lock up in the center of the ring and Ki uses her strength to shove Dallas Stockon backwards. She goes head over heels and Ki doesn't stop there. She quickly begins stomping away at Dallas Stockon as she tries to get off the mat. Then Ki lifts her up for a snap suplex! Ki goes for a cover. 1... 2... Ki lifts Dallas Stockon up by her hair and keeps her from being pinned. Ki Morbid smiles and shakes her head no.
Manic questions why she's not putting her away yet? And Chico tells him that Ki has some work to do to show Dallas who's running the Women's Division.
Ki Morbid lifts Dallas off the ground for a high angle suplex! She drops her hard and then begins deliverying knee shots to her on the canvas. Dropping knee after knee on her chest and abdomens. Ki then grabs Dallas by the hair and drags her over to the corner. Ki Morbid signals for it before setting herself up on the top rope. Ki then goes for the "Flaming Orchid" and connects with that beautiful Top Rop Hurricanrana! She flings her across the ring and the arena POPS!
Ki Morbid doesn't look like she's done there. She slowly walks over to Dallas Stockon laying flat on her back and has a wicked grin on her face. Ki turns Dallas over on her stomach and then locks in her finisher. She snaps that "Ivy League" on her and it isn't long before Dallas begins tapping!!!
Chico points out how that Camel Clutch Crossface is one of the most deadliest submission holds in all the business.
Winner:Ki Morbid

After the match Ki Morbid is celebrating in the ring. We spot The Hellion walking down the ramp. He gets in the ring and embraces Ki Morbid with a big hug. He raises her hand in victory and the fans respond accordingly. Ki then decides she is going to go to the corner to give the crowd a better look at her.
As she is setting up for her photo op we see Hellion decide to run the ropes. Hellion accidentally hits the ropes too hard and knocks Ki off the turnbuckle. Ki hits head hard on the guard rail. The fans are stunned in to silence and some shriek out in sheer horror. Robert Mastro comes sprinting out from the back before Hellion turns to even notice what he just did. Hellion is shocked himself as he looks down at Mastro scooping her off the outside mat. Hellion is still confused.
"What just happened? Ki are you alright!?"
Mastro yells some obscenities his way. Mastro carries Ki to the back. Hellion throws his arms up in the air and still looks unsure what just took place. He sees on the replay that him running the ropes is what caused this horrific accident. He shakes his head and slides out of the ring. Hellion makes his way towards the back to find Ki and apologize. As we cut backstage.
Backstage we see Hayden Truesdale conducting an interview with Gina Porter.
"What was the deal last Showdown with Blaze Rodriguez? Why did you attack him the way you did?"
"What you mean?"
"So maliciously. So violently. It was really unexpected."
"Did it turn you on Gina?"
"Excuse me?"
"Hey. Don't deny it hun. I'm the Detroit S.O.B. Everyone wants a piece of this. Truth is though, Blaze had it coming to him! He acted cocky. He acted above everybody else. Here's a guy on the roster not even a month and he feels he can socialize with me? With me?! Oh no. Oh no Gina. I'm in a class.. all.. on.. my own."
Suddenly Blaze Rodriguez attacks!! He smashes Hayden over the head with a trash can and Hayden falls to the concrete floor. Blaze doesn't stop there. He keeps slamming the trash can on him and dumps out the garbage all over him. Blaze kicks him across the head one last time before hovering over him.
"You think you're better than me, huh!?! You think you're better than me brother? Well, I'll tell you what. KOX is just around the corner. We never got to meet in the tournament.. but at the pay per view. I challenge you! One-on-one. Xtreme rules! I'll see you there... sucker."
Scene ends with Hayden rolling around the ground in all that trash.
The camera catches up to Rage who is in Lars Douglas office. Lars is pleading with Rage not to go through with his plans tonight as he wants all his talent in top shape for King of Xtreme. He tells Rage both he and Shotgun have the night off and he doesn’t need any problems tonight. Rage slowly gets up, grabs his crutches and tells his lawyer who is waiting outside to slam the door for him. Rage’s lawyer Barry Browning slams the door as Rage hobbles away.

Alexis slams Ashton face first once more before entering the ring at the count of seven. She stands on the ring as the referee reaches eight. Manic points out that this isn’t a title match and if it ends with a count out Alexis will pass on to the finals. Nine. The crowd is on the edge of their seat as Ashton just barely makes it into the ring before the count is up.
Alexis was waiting and as Ashton slides in she immediately starts stomping her down. She seems like a demon possessed as she hits Ashton over and over and over again. She chokes Ashton with her boot as she presses down on her throat and the referee quickly warns her. Alexis waves him off and grabs Ashton by the hair. She whips Ashton face first into the turnbuckle. She quickly follows her and sets her up on the top rope. Alexis climbs the second rope and hooks Ashton.

Ashton breaks free with an elbow and pushes Alexis off. Ashton jumps down and sprints right at Alexis, Alexis counters with a clothesline, Ashton sidesteps her and immediately hits the ASO (Diamond Cutter) and pins. One.. Two.. Three!

In a backstage segment in the doctor's office we have Robert Mastro sitting across from Ki Morbid with his hand on her knee and his other hand placed gently on her cheek. Ki is holding an ice pack on her head as she seems dizzy still.
"I hope you're okay Ki."
"I'm getting better. I don't know though. I took a nasty spill."
"You're so pretty Ki."
"What's that?"
"I'm sorry. I can't help myself. You're just perfect. "
Mastro goes in for a kiss and plants one on her when The Hellion walks in. Ki tries to force Mastro away and finally does after a couple seconds. Hellion is furious.
"What the HELL is going on in here?! Ki?"
"Hellion. I'm sorry. I-- I tried--"
"You tried to what? And you!? You think you can put your hands on my woman."
Mastro stands up off the bench and gets up in Hellion's grill.
"Listen hear Bub. I don't like the way you treat your lady. If she was my girl.."
"What? If she was YOUR 'what'!?"
"You heard me."
Hellion leans in and points at his ear.
"No, I didn't. You want to speak up a little louder you pipsqueak. I'll crush you."
"Oh yeah!?"
"Oh yeahh!"
"Guys. Guys. Please. Stop!"
"No, no Ki. If this guy thinks he can take me... I'm sure he'll have no problem going 1-on-1 with me in a Bayou Brawl at King of Xtreme."
"You're on."
"Guys!!"
"Hey Ki. Whose side are you on anyway?"
Hellion storms out of the room pretty pissed off. Mastro looks over at Ki and blinks.
"Wait. What's a Bayou Brawl?"
"Ughh!"
Ki rushes off to hopefully catch up with Hellion. Mastro is left alone just shaking his head in disappointment. We go back to ringside as the announcers are laughing over what they just saw.
The arena goes completely dark as cryptic music plays over the PA. Smoke fills the ring and a dimmed light barely illuminates a figure who is floating over the arena. The fans are puzzled as a man wearing a dark robe is seen hovering over the ring. He slowly levitates down as the smoke dissipates around him as he does, no cables or strings are holding him. His name is The Dark Prince, Kazadine the Great.
Kazadine stands in the barely lit ring and he extends his arms. Fire shoots out of his hands as he spins around creating shapes with the flames. The fans are somewhat confused but still mesmerized by the man. Kazadine puts his hands together and a dove appears when he puts them apart. He raises his arms and a whole swarm of birds fly from under the ring as the lights slowly come back to normal. Kazadine grabs the microphone and looks at the crowd.
“My name… is The Dark Prince Kazadine the Great and you have seen is but a taste of what I can do. I am not your average fighter, oh no, I am much more than that. I have trained my mind, I have trained my body to do what I want when I want. I am more than a man, I am the embodiment of MAGIC!”
The fans are still on the fence as the man continues.
“I am not afraid of darkness, I am not afraid of mayhem, I am not afraid of destruction. In fact, I welcome it. The era of Prince Kazadine is officially here and there is no man, no hurricane, no STORM that can stop me.”
Kazadine extends his arms proudly when suddenly a lightning sound is heard followed by Voices by Rev Theory. Lightning bolts rain down on the entrance way as a man steps out with wearing a hoodie. He takes the hoodie off and reveals to be Devilyn Storm. The announcers remind the audience that Devilyn is the women’s champion, Ashton Storm’s brother. Devilyn gets in the ring with a microphone in hand and looks at Kazadine who doesn’t look amused.
“That is very impressive Kazadine. I always have loved magic… but the thing is this isn’t a magic show, this is a wrestling show. The doves are cute and all but this people didn’t come here to see doves, they didn’t come here to see fire, they came here to see some wrestling. Seeing how this is our first night here, what do you say we save the theatrics and show the world what we can really do?”
The fans pop as Devilyn drops the microphone and looks ready for a fight.
“Mr. Storm I don’t appreciate you interrupting me or taking away from my time. It’s called matters Mr. Storm. Normally I would have no problem teaching you a thing or two but honestly, you don’t deserve to be in this ring with me. Sorry.”
Kazadine goes to walk away but Devilyn stops him.
“Whoa, hold up. Is that your other big magic trick? Dissappearing every time you get called up to a fight? Tell you what Kazadine, Showdown may be after this PPV but why don't we plan ahead? How about we make our in ring debut, how about Prince Kazadine vs. Devilyn Storm? Are you man enough Mr. Illusionist? Or would you rather go play with some rabbits backstage?”
Kazadine grins as he casually picks up the microphone.
“You want to see what I can do? You want to test The Dark Prince? Fine. I accept your challenge.”
Kazadine extends his hand and Devilyn shakes it. Before they can let go Kazadine sprays some sort of gas into Devilyn’s face. Devilyn immediately drops to the floor coughing holding his face in pain. Kazadine smiles as he casually walks away. Paramedics immediately rush down to check on Devilyn as they cut to a commercial.

We cut to the Xtreme Champion, Jon Hampton walking in an office to meet with Lars Douglas.
"You asked for me Sir?"
"Hampton. Yes. Yes. Come in. Come in."
"Is it important Sir?"
"It is important? That's irrelevant. What I asked you in here for.. is to discuss that Xtreme Title."
"You know, I was going to say something Sir. I was going to mention it to you lonng ago. I don't really think anyone is fit for facing me yet. No one has established themself as a number one contender. To be honest.. there is not 'one man' who has stood out to me. So, what I was thinking was--"
"Jon. Jon. Jon. Slow down. Slow down. You'll give yourself an aneurysm."
"A what?"
"The fact is Jon. I've thought long and hard about your Xtreme Title."
Dustin Holt walks in from a side room and has a huge smile on his face.
"No! No. I don't deserve to go up against him. I mean, he don't deserve to get in the ring with me! He hasn't earned it. He hasn't earned it damnit!"
"Calm down. Calm down Jon."
"We won't be going 1-on-1 at KOX. I can assure you that Boss."
"No, no. You won't. The thing is..."
That's when the door opens from behind Hampton and almost hits him as it swings open. Yarmouth Blade steps in and is holding an ice pack on the back of his head.
"Wanted to see me Prez?"
"Yes, Yarmouth. Step in. Step in here."
Hampton looks confused. Holt also looks confused.
"Thing is. Jon. Dustin. I've decided to have a Triple Threat match at King of Xtreme for that Xtreme Championship."
"No! No! You can't do this."
"With all due respect Sir. I don't think either of these two bozos have earned it."
"Wait. So I'm getting a title shot? At King of Xtreme?"
"Yes, yes you are Yarmouth. And Hampton. Holt. You are both professionals. Start acting like it. This is the XWF and I'm running things around here."
He points to the room that Holt just exited from and you hear a growl coming from inside that room.
"With that said. It's time to get down to business. The first one to score a pinfall or submission will be the Xtreme Champ heading out of the KOX pay per view. Good luck to all three of you gentlemen! I suspect you'll put on a show..."
"Well, this is.. this is outrageous!! I can't believe this. First him? Now, him too!? I can't believe this Boss!"
"Yeah, quite frankly Lars. I thought I was getting my own title shot--"
"Boys! Boys! Please. We have company... Yarmouth Blade. You can see yourself out. Hampton, you too! Holt, after you're finished attending to Bear then you can also leave. I want you guys to realize something. King of Xtreme is one of the biggest pay per views of the year! Don't let me down."
Yarmouth walks out the room and Hampton follows behind him, just slamming the door shut! Holt shakes his head and walks towards the door he came from. Holt opens the door when.
Holt takes step backwards.
"Easy Bear. Easy."
"Yeah, that's why I'm the Boss. I call all the shots!"
This scene ends on Lars's smiling face.

Match Four: TTC The Ray of Darkness vs The Happy Go Luckies vs The Velvet Armory vs The Eliminators vs Michael Dargue & Cliff Saxton - Tag Team Battle Royal
Ray of Darkness enter the ring last. As the Ray of Darkness gets in the ring to talk strategy it appears all five teams are ready for action! This has the same normal rules as a regular Battle Royal. The last man remaining will win it for his team. The Eliminators are standing by the ropes arguing a moment about which team to go after first. They ring the bell and immediately the Go Luckies attack them. They double-clothesline The Eliminators out over the top rope that fast! The Go Luckies turn their backsides to the Eliminators who are regrouping on the outside and slap their asses at them.
Stranger goes for Wilson. Meanwhile it's Saxton beating up on the Ray early. Rachael looks around the ring and spots Dargue all by himself. She points at Dargue and Dargue looks over his own shoulder. He glances back at Rachael and points at himself. "Who me?" Rachael nods her head yes. Dargue charges in and Rachael hits a Drop Toe Hold. She then mounts his back and puts him in a Rear Naked Chokehold as she wrenches away on him!
The Go Luckies taunt The Eliminators who ironically enough were eliminated first out of any tag team. The Eliminators get up on the apron and try to grab ahold of the Go Luckies. The referees attempt to intervene as Ace and Gary get face-to-face with Dimter and Stevenson. Both tag teams are just yelling at each other as Stevenson takes a swipe for Gary. Instead it's Gary who ducks the left hand and throws a shoulder in Stevenson's gut. Ace knocks Dimter off the apron with a hard right hand. The Go Luckies look at each other and then hop through the middle ropes to go attack The Eliminators further. The Go Luckies and The Eliminators start battling it up the ramp as the referees try to step in to break up the action.
Wilson and Stranger go at it in the corner. Exchanging big right hands and stiff uppercuts. Stranger goes for a haymaker and Wilson ducks it. Following up with a giant Back Breaker! The Ray reverses an armbar from Saxton and connects with a Neckbreaker! Wilson picks Stranger up by the head and that's when The Ray jumps Wilson from behind. Firing forearms at him and kicking away at him. Wilson turns and grabs The Ray by the throat. Dark Stranger clobbers him with a hard forearm shot. And then The Ray of Darkness lifts "The Body Guard" Wilson up for a Double Suplex! They drop him hard and celebrate a little early. Saxton does a Drop Kick that knocks The Ray out of the ring.
Dargue has turned the tables on Manning and is hitting her with big chops. "Wooo!" "Wooo!" He backs up to go for a Clothesline and Rachael ducks it. She dumps Michael Dargue up over the top rope and eliminates him. Stranger looks at Saxton as he stands up and is upset. But then the voices in his head tell him to look across the ring. There he sees the Velvet Armory. He points at Saxton and points at them. Cliff nods his head.
Saxton goes for Manning and Dark Stranger collides with Aaron Wilson. They all brawl with each other. Wilson headbutts Dark Stranger to the mat and then hits him with a scoop body slam! He goes for a Big Leg but Dark Stranger rolls out of the way. The Dark Stranger backs up and waits for Aaron Wilson to get to his feet. He then hits him with a devestating Big Boot. That shot takes Wilson down and the Dark Stranger lifts him up by the neck. He shoves him over to the ropes and tries lifing him over the top.
Meanwhile, Manning kicks Saxton in the balls and DDTs him hard. She picks him up and signals she is about to toss him over the top rope. Before she can blink Cliff kicks the back of her knee out and grabs her by the back of the hair. He runs forward with her and simply dumps her over the top rope! She lands hard on the outside mat and is eliminated. Dark Stranger tussels with Wilson on the ropes. Wilson tries prying The Dark Stranger's mask off. But the Dark Stranger punches him hard in the gut and then turns Aaron Wilson over on the top rope. He uses all his might to eliminate Aaron Wilson just like that!
Suddenly we see the Go Luckies casually coming back down the ramp. The fans are irrate at this moment. Saxton doesn't see them and sneaks up on the Dark Stranger before he has a chance to turn around. Cliff dumps Dark Stranger over the top rope and the Dark Stranger has been eliminated. Cliff raises his arms in victory as he mouths a few words to an angry Dark Stranger. The Go Luckies slip in the ring behind him and Dark Stranger is trying to point them out to Cliff Saxton. He shakes his head though at Dark Stranger and then turns around right in to a Double-Clothesline from the Go Luckies that sends him summersaulting backwards over the top rope. Saxton has been eliminated and the Go Luckies have won this thing! They jump up and down and embrace each other with hugs in the center of the ring. The fans giving them a lot of heat for their cheap victory.
Manic points out that they never were eliminated earlier. They didn't go over the top rope. As unfair as it was they have now earned a spot to be the last team to enter the Tag Team Title Gauntlet at the "King of Xtreme" pay per view. Thus increasing their odds to walk out the XWF Tag Team Champions!
Winner: The Happy Go Luckies
----------------
The Go Luckies continue to walk down the eisle as Barry Browning makes his way down the rampway. Browning is in the ring as the ringside fans start to give him a bunch of shit. Barry is about to introduce Rage when he is cut off by 'Do The Evolution' by Pearl Jam. Carlos Shotgun grabs the microphone and looks at the Barry who looks a bit nervous.
“I’m going to make this short and sweet. There won’t be a next XWF champion, I AM the XWF Heavyweight champion. Last week I crippled Rage in this very ring, I gave him the worst beating of his life. At King of Xtreme I will do worse. Last man standing, Dead Cell, Rage versus Shotgun… I can hardly wait. As a matter of fact, I won’t. Call him out here Browning”
“My client has NO contractual obligation to come out here. Mr. Douglas himself personally gave him the night off.”
Shotgun smiles before he grows serious and grabs him by the tie and pulls Browning towards him as the fans pop.
“Don’t test me Browning. Someone is going to be left a bloody mess face down on this mat, if it’s not Rage then… then I guess it has to be you.”
Shotgun knocks the microphone off Barry's hand and pushes him into the corner. Barry is begging off but the champ seems incensed, undeterred. Suddenly Rage’s theme plays and Shotgun stops dead on his tracks and turns around. He smiles as he sees Rage hobbling down to the ring on crutches and gets face to face with Shotgun. Shotgun stares at him before speaking.
“You have been bullying people for your whole career. It’s time to pay you back.”
Shotgun slaps him in the face and the fans explode in anticipation. Rage just smiles, knowing his injuries prevent him from fighting back. Shotgun calls for the cage to lower down to the ring and the staff complies. Browning tries to pull Rage out but Shotgun immediately tosses him out and waits patiently as the cell settles.
Browning is screaming for someone to raise the cell but to no avail. Shotgun walks over to Rage and kicks his left crutch out, making Rage lean to one side. Shotgun smiles as he methodically walks to his other side and starts provoking Rage some more before kicking his right crutch out. The fans are stunned as Rage stands tall with a smile on his face. Shotgun seems confused as Rage grabs Shogun around the throat. Shotgun tries kicking Rage in the midsection but has no effect. Rage hits a massive chokeslam on Shotgun. Manic is screaming at the top of his lungs that Rage was faking it all along. Rage then picks Shotgun up for a Jacknife Powerbomb in the middle of the ring.
Barry Browning starts counting on the outside as Rage leans against the ropes. Six.. Seven.. Eight.. Nine.. Ten! Rage raises his hands victoriously as Barry applauds him on the outside. The cell begins to rise and Rage steps outside and shakes hand with his lawyer as the fans boo. Shotgun is seen looking at both as he struggles to get to his feet. The scene fades.
