Bad News Brown vs. Takeshi Morishima vs. Chris Hero vs. Petey Williams vs. Justin Gabriel vs. Adam Pearce
WINNER – Justin Gabriel via pinfall on Adam Pearce following the 450 Splash
The match was full of fast paced action from the start with everyone taking turns. Hero attempts to slow things down by locking Pearce in a cravate, but Brown immediately enters and decks both men. Williams and Gabriel enter but are met with backdrop drivers from Morishima. Brown then says something to Morishima in English, then repeats it in Japanese. Morishima says something back in Japanese, Brown responds, Morishima nods and they both LEAVE! The action then continues with the four remaining competitors until Gabriel scores the pin.

UWC World Tag Team Championship Match
Doug Furnas & Phil Lafon (champions) vs. The Osirian Portal
WINNERS – Doug Furnas & Phil Lafon with the Superkick/German Suplex combo in a quick match. Following they match, Furnas & Lafon issued an open challenge, and sat down in chairs in the center of the ring to wait for competition. The challenge was answered by 2 Skinny Black Guys.

Impromptu Match[/i]
Doug Furnas & Phil Lafon vs. El Generico & Human Tornado
WINNERS – No contest as Furnas & Lafon attacked Generico & Tornado with their chairs as soon as they entered the ring. They then issued another open challenge, stating “I thought we asked for competition!” The challenge was answered by the unlikely duo of Bad News Brown and Takeshi Morishima! (See Six Pack Challenge earlier in the card if you haven’t already…)

Impromptu Match[/i]
Doug Furnas & Phil Lafon vs. Bad News Brown & Takeshi Morishima
WINNERS – Bad News Brown & Takeshi Morishima via countout. All four men immediately began brawling and trading suplexes. Lafon rolled out of the ring to avoid a Ghetto Blaster from Brown when Morishima nailed a Backdrop Driver on Furnas. Lafon pulled Furnas out of the ring and they bailed, giving up the countout and solidifying their heel turn.

Who is the Baddest Man on the Planet?
Brock Lesnar vs. Taz
WINNER – Brock Lesnar via referee’s decision when Taz was not responsive in a front choke.
This match saw Brock dominate early with a power based offense, followed by a Taz comeback. The crowd was solidly behind both men, cheering for whoever was on the offensive. Once Brock cut off Taz’s offense, the final few minute were full of back and forth action, with each men kicking out of the other’s finisher. Taz went for the Tazmission, leading to a series of reversals that ended when Brock caught Taz in a front arm & head choke. Taz refused to tap, and was eventually choked out. During the post match interview, Brock said he wants a world title shot, and he wants to dominate the roster on his way up to it. He called out to Dashbee: “Set them all up, and I’ll knock them all down!’

UWC World Heavyweight Championship
The Great Muta (champion) vs. AJ Styles
WINNER – The Great Muta via submission with the Muta Lock
This match was everything you’d expect it to be. Non-stop action, crisp & fluid. There are high spots, submission exchanges, great counter wrestling and stiff shots throughout. A workrate dream match from two guys who can also tell a great story in the ring. After 30 minutes, AJ had Muta reeling, but couldn’t put him away. Muta did resort to the mist, but missed and took out a ref. That didn’t factor in the finish though, as Muta’s pinfalls were the ones missed due to the ref being out. Muta shook AJ’s hand after the match in a sign of respect.

Cheesy Game Show Announcer Voice: Live From the DTW studios... It's time for Everyone's Favorite Pay-Per-View Pre Show... The Drive to Redemption Road!

And now your hosts, The voice of Double Trouble Wrestling.. Tony Schiavonne and his partner.. The Coach!

TS: Thank you and welcome fans to The Drive to Redemption Road! I'm Tony Schiavonne (points) He is the Coach and we are here to get you ready for The next DTW Pay-Per-View Extravaganza... Redemption Road!

JC: Tony, there has been som much going on here in DTW, It's hard to know what to talk about next.

TS: Coach, I want us to first go back to last week's DTW telecast and the BLOCKBUSTER ANNOUNCEMENT President Torrie Wilson made.

JC: Remember Tony, The Dynamic Duo has been on Torrie Wilson's case for weeks on end now, complaining about the officiating in their last 2 pay-per-view matches.

TS: And of course, their actions haven't exactly helped their cause.

JC: But Tony, can you blame them? A fast count at Scars & Stripes, Clearly beating the 10 count, but being counted out anyway at All Out Blitz.

TS: Well Coach whatever the reasons, they have certainly not endeared themselves to the DTW President. Multiple attacks on The Road Warriors and ringside officials have led Torrie Wilson to This MAJOR Announcement



TS: And so we have it folks, at Redemption Road, The Road Warriors versus The Dymanic Duo, in a Scaffold Match for the DTW World Championships

TS: The next big match to talk about is the Pacific Champioship match.

JC: Tony, ever since they arrived here in DTW, Deuce and Domino have been on one heckofva roll. They are undefeated here in DTW and have set their sights on winning some Gold.

TS: They might be unbeaten, but they have a daunting task in front of them. Ricky & Robert are as good as it gets in this business. They are former world champions, and they will definitely let Deuce and Domino know where they stand.

JC: The wild card in this is Cherry. She has been known cause some disturbances in the past. If she gets involved, Gibson & Morton could be in trouble.

TS: That they could Coach, when The Rock & Roll Express defend the Pacific Championships against Deuce & Domino

JC: Tony, This next match is one I really can't see a clear favorite in. Ivan & Nikita Koloff defending the Atlantic Championships against "Playboy" Buddy Rose & "Pretty Boy" Doug Somers

TS: Both teams are more than capable of bending the rules to win, It will be an interesitng matchup of skills.

TS: Coach.. Torrie wanted me to make sure that we mentioned the International Challenge.

JC: Tony, we are coming up on the Final Heat, and things could not be closer. All four teams have one win and one loss, so President Torrie Wilson annouced 2 weeks ago that the winners of this Heat, both now being 2-1, will face off at next month's pay-per-view in a final match for the International Challenge Cup and the right to take on the World Tag Team Champions after that.

TS: Yoshikazu Taru & Big Daddy Voodoo will take on Silver Cain & Ultimo Gladiador in Match One, with Match Two pitting Shane Haste & Mikey Nichols against Mikey Whiplash & Robby Dynamite. Coach this International Challenge has been a lot of fun to watch, and the action will heat up in the Final Heat at Redemption Road.

JC: With a World Championsip shot on the line, I'm sure all four teams will be pulling out all the stops

JC: Speaking of Title Shots on the line, how about This bombshell dropped a couple weeks ago by our Blonde Bombshell of a President



TS: Over the past few weeks, DTW teams have qualified for the match and now the field is set. at Redemption Road, we will have the first-ever Double Trouble Title Shot On Demand Ladder Match (2 Briefcases, 2 winners) The participants in this match are Jey & Jimmy Uso. The Killer Bees- B. Brian Blair & "Jumping" Jim Brunzell. Cryme Tyme- JTG & Shad Gaspard. And The New Age Outlaws- "Road Dogg" Jesse James & "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn. This folks will be a wild match you wont want to miss!

JC: Tony, I can;t imagine the high-flying antics in that one. The polar opposite of our next spotlight, The Streetfight between Ron & Don Harris and The Sheepherders

TS: There is nothing pretty about a streetfight. These teams just decided they didn't like each other and the challenge was thrown out by the Harris Twins. Not a smart move in my estimation, with the Luke and Butch's reputation for using that flagpole against their opponents.

JC: We'll also see Badd Company try to end their recent losing streak against Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch,

TS: Fans Don't miss out! Get your tickets to Redemption Road Today!

Joey Styles: Joey Styles here with a quick recap of the 2nd CWF PPV!

We had a hot opener with a match with the winner recieving a Future First Round Bye in An As Yet Unknown Tournament. It featured Brutus Magnus (w/ Rob Terry) VRS Alex Riley VRS Norman Smiley (w/ Mustpha Saeed). At the 13 minute mark, Magnus got some help from Terry against Smiley while the ref was knocked out. Saeed did not take kindly to this so he entered in the ring and the four started to brawl (Magnus/Terry and Smiley/Saeed). The illegal men powder out as Riley, who has been lying in wait, sees the ref get back up and blindsides Magnus, then hits his finisher on a weakened Smiley at the 17 minute mark. Again, Riley leaves the ring and points to his temple as he tells the crowd how smart he is.

Our second match of the night sees Finlay take on Manny Fernandez for the Hardcore Championship. Rob Terry comes down to help out his friend Finlay, and his interference leads Finlay to the pin at the 13 minute mark.

Our next match is a Future Tag Team Title Shot Match that pits Henry O. Godwin and Phineas I. Godwin (w/ Hillbilly Jim) against Robbie McAllister and Rory McAllister. The Highlanders not only crush the Godwins and make the pin at the 8 minute mark, but they then attack HBJ after the match and leave him a bloody mess. Tracy Smothers tries to get the save, but they pummel him, too. Just relentless and violent, the Highlanders seem a bit different.

Next is our Streetfight that features Jesse (w/o HBJ) against Yang to settle their score. Another bloody affair sees Yang knock out Jesse at the 14 minute after a brawl that went in the stands, parking area, and finally back to the main stage. And like that, the Southern Fried Rednecks are dismantled and left in heaps in the back. Post match, Yang cuts a quick promo in Japanese that was later translated to say that he is out for blood, not titles.

Our next match is the 3 Way Tables Ladders and Charis Match for the Cruiserweight Title: Sonjay Dutt VRS Essa Rios VRS Hector Garza! In a thrilling match that sees everything you could ever ask for from these competitors in a TLC match, Rios grabs the gold at the 19 minute mark. Just outstanding competition and sportsmanship shown all around until Dutt finally lets his frustrations out on his friend Rios after the match and clobbers him from behind. Dutt turns heel and steals the belt and takes off with it to the back.

The masked ref comes down for the next match which pits Matt Morgan VRS Harley Race (w/ Ole Anderson) in a #1 Contenders Match for the IC Title. 14 minutes and two crimson masks later, Race wins after help from Ole.

Next up is the World Tag Team Title Match that features Orlando Jordan and Gorgeous George VRS America's Most Wanted (c). When Storm says that it will be he and Roode competing tonight, Wildcat Chris Harris grabs the mic and says that he and Roode talked about this in the back and decided that they won the tournament to get a shot at the belts, then they won the belts without Storm wrestling, so it's about time to move on. Harris then attacks Storm but Roode attacks Harris! Beer Money puts the boots to Harris and kicks him out of the ring! Roode explains to Storm that it was a trick and he set Harris up, who had been talking behind Storms back since the begining. Storm looks at Roode with a leery eye as the challengers come down to the ring. Beer Money defeats GG and OJ at the 11 minute mark. As they celebrate, with apparently bygones being bygones, Harris comes back out to the top of the ramp and says he wants a title shot against them at the next PPV. Storm tells him to find a partner and he's on! Harris thought he'd say that so he already got himself a partner. Out comes Matt Morgan!

Up next is the Steel Cage Intercontinental Title Match that sees Mike Awesome VRS Wade Barrett (c) (w/Missy Hyatt). Brutal 20 minute affair sees Barrett emerge as the winner after Hyatt slips him some brass knuckles and handcuffs through the cage and Barrett climbs out the top of the cage after putting the kibosh on Awesome and handcuffing him to the bottom rope!

The penultimate match sqaures up The Steiners (w/Ole Anderson) VRS Steve Corino and Desmond Wolfe. Rick again takes the loss for his team when Scott gets fed up with him and walks out of the match at the 14 minute mark. Corino and Wolfe feast on the lesser Steiner. In a post match interview, Scott says he's had it with his brother, but Ole calms him down and tells him to get back on track. Scott agrees.

Above Average Mike Sanders introduces the last match that has Ric Flair and Magnum T.A. battle for the CWF Heavywieght Championship in a Challenger versus Challenger Match! 22 minutes of action ends when, during a ref bump, Flair low blows T.A. and puts him in the Figure Four and gets leverage from Ole. The masked ref wakes up long enough to see T.A. passed out from the pain, although he never tapped. Magnum's friend Manny Fernandez comes out to help, but so does Race and the Steiners, although Scott Steiner turns on Rick Steiner immediately and they brawl! Wade Barrett also comes to the ring and attacks Rick Steiner! The Dog Faced Gremlin is beaten within an inch of his life! As Corino and Wolfe come down, right behind them is Beer Money, who trip them up and attack them, too! A lengthy arena ride brawl ensues for the next 8 minutes.

As the show draws to a close, new Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair, Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett, Tag Champs Beer Money and the enforcer, Harley Race are in the middle of the ring with Ole Anderson and Missy Hyatt! It's the new and improved, as Flair puts it, Horsemen!
