Billionaire Bruce Wayne enters the underground parking garage of Wayne Tower. He heads toward his stretch limo as the lights begin to flicker. They blink out for just a moment and when they return something feels…off. It’s enough to make Wayne stop in his tracks and consider the situation.

He then hears maniacal laughter behind him. He instantly wonders if the Joker has finally figured out that Batman and Bruce Wayne are one in the same person. But that laugh, it’s not the Joker’s laugh. Could it be a laugh that’s even more unhinged?

Wayne turns slowly to find a man slightly crouched in a black and purple body suit. His face is covered with purple makeup.

“I hear you’re looking for stars Mr. Wayne,” he nearly cackles. “I’m a star. I’m a whole galaxy full of stars. A whole cosmos full of stars.”

“Don’t pay attention to him,” another voice calls from behind.

Wayne turns again to see a man with close cropped brown hair wearing a leather jacket with no shirt underneath. A tattoo of the word “dream” is visible on his right pectoral muscle.

“I hear you’re entering the world of sports entertainment, Mr. Wayne. Starting a little wrestling company for fun, are you,” the man says.

“If you’re looking for a job, you should probably speak with my secretary first,” Wayne responds.

The man smiles. “You need me far more than I need you Mr. Wayne. This might be something for you to pass the time, but being the greatest professional wrestler in the world has always been my dream. A dream that could very easily turn into your nightmare.”

“Row, row, row your boat,” a voice starts to sing behind Wayne. He spins on his heels again to see the purple man slowly backing away into
the shadows as he sings. “Gently down the stream, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream…”

Wayne turns back to the other man, but instead finds the purple freak flying at him with his mouth agape as if he’s going to rip Wayne’s throat out with his teeth.

The image abruptly shifts to Bruce Wayne sitting up in bed, wearing light blue pajamas. The first streaks of the sunrise are trickling through his window. It had been a dream, but really a nightmare, but really…what really was it? Below a whisper he believes he can hear “life is but a dream” repeated again.

Billionaire Bruce Wayne arrives at Wayne Tower in his stretch limo.

“Shall I park in the underground garage, sir,” the driver asks.

“Uh…no Alfred, letting me out in the front will be just fine,” Wayne responds.

Wayne exits the limo and heads to the front door. He becomes immediately aware of a man who has fallen in step behind him. Wayne stops just short of the front door.

“If you’ve come to rob me, out front of my office building with cameras all around might not be the best place,” Wayne says without turning around.

“If I was here to take you out in some fashion, Mr. Wayne, you would never know I was even here,” he responds with an Irish lilt.

“I wouldn’t be so sure of that. I’ve learned a lot about detection from my friend, the Batman,” Wayne says.

Wayne turns slowly to see a man in a leather jacket with close cropped black hair, but not the same man from his dream.

“You’ve seen him haven’t you, Mr. Wayne? He came to visit you last night, didn’t he, Mr. Wayne,” the man says.

“And to whom would you be referring to,” Wayne plays dumb.

“The American Nightmare and his friend Stardust. The man in purple. The man with a dream on his chest but nightmares in his mind,” the Irishman says.

“I might have seen someone like that. But, the more important question right now is who you are,” Wayne states.

“I’m Finn Balor and I’m…” Wayne notices Balor clenching his fist and it appears to turn black and red, the black and red marks start to extend to his arm, but Balor lets go of his fist and they go away. “Finn Balor is all you need to know right now.”

“I’m here about your wrestling company, but I’m also here to offer protection,” Balor continues.

“I think I’m just fine with Batman and the other Gotham City crimefighters that are often around,” Wayne says.

“Not from him. I’m the only one who can protect you from the Nightmare and I’m the only one who can face him in a GCW ring,” Balor says steely.

Somehow Wayne believes Balor. “Why don’t you come in. We can discuss a contract and what else you might know of the man from my dreams.”

“The man of all our nightmares, Mr. Wayne,” Balor says as Wayne holds the door to Wayne Tower open and he walks through it.

[Leo]

Billionaire Bruce Wayne and Finn Balor step off the elevator for Wayne’s top floor office in Wayne Tower. They approach a blonde woman sitting behind a desk. The flicker of recognition between the secretary and Balor does not go unnoticed by Wayne.

“Mr. Balor, this is Beth Phoenix. She just recently became my secretary, but is the best one I’ve ever had, so far,” Wayne states.

“Thank you, Mr. Wayne,” she says. “It’s been a pleasure working for you.”

“Ms. Phoenix, please pull one of the standard GCW contracts we had drawn up for Mr. Balor to review,” Wayne asks.

“Mr. Wayne, I was hoping we could discuss me possible wrestling for GCW as well,” she replies.

“Do you have skills inside the square circle, Ms. Phoenix,” Wayne says.

“I think she might surprise, Mr. Wayne,” Balor interjects.

“Also, Mr. Wayne, your 10 a.m. is here, very early,” Phoenix says.

“Fine, I’ll meet with him while you entertain Mr. Balor out here,” Wayne says and then walks into his office.

Sitting in a chair facing Wayne’s desk is a man dressed all in white. He has a scorpion on the back of his shirt and down the right leg of his pants. He’s also wearing white face paint.

“I see you dressed up for our interview, Mr. Borden,” Wayne says.

“You may call me Sting, and you’re lucky I wore a shirt,” he replies.

Wayne smiles slightly, “Well, you won’t need one inside the GCW ring. You came highly recommended by those I’ve reached out to.”
That’s great to hear…” Sting is cut off by a rock hurtling through the window. Balor and Phoenix hear the crash and run in. Wayne steps over and picks up a rock.

“We’re 40 stories up, who could be throwing a rock through the window,” Phoenix asks.

“That’s a very good question,” Wayne says as he picks up a rock and unravels a paper tied to it.

He reads the paper, “Sting, Without darkness there can be no light. Without the Black Scorpion, there can be no White Scorpion. The one once thought vanished emerges from the sand once again, preparing to strike.”

“Do you know what this is referring to,” Wayne says turning to Sting.

“He’s right. I thought the Black Scorpion was long gone. But, if he’s back he will be a force to be reckoned with.”
“And a sure main event for GCW,” Balor adds.

“Well, that certain piques my interest. Let’s discuss contracts…for all three of you,” Wayne says as the scene fades.

[Leo]

Bray Wyatt sits in the dark in a rocking chair. He sees a small bead of light far off in the distance. It grows larger and brighter as it approaches. Eventually he can make out the form of the American Nightmare holding a lantern, Wyatt’s lantern.

“Here lies the broken Bray Wyatt,” Rhodes says.

“I’m not broken, I’m awoken,” Wyatt responds as he rocks.

A maniacal laugh can be heard back in the darkness. Stardust emerges now holding a mirror.

“Look,” he commands. “See the true face of fear.”

Wyatt stops his rocking and stands. In the mirror he sees a chubby faced boy with short hair and a short cropped beard.

“This is what you once were and it is what you are again,” Rhodes speaks.

“No, no, it can’t be true,” Wyatt calls as he covers his eyes. Stardust and the mirror disappear back into the blackness.

“Bray Wyatt is broken. But, I can give you new power. An ancient power that is truly awoken and in need of a host. I have laid the groundwork and now you can bring him to life once more. Do you want to be truly awoken and reborn,” Rhodes asks.

“Yes, yes,” Wyatt begs. He hears something in the darkness. A clicking noise that grows to be deafening. Out of the darkness comes hundreds, thousands of scorpions. They cover Bray Wyatt, engulf him. As they separate and go away, standing where Bray Wyatt once was is now the Black Scorpion, in a black hooded robe and black face paint.

“Do you feel the power,” Rhodes asks.

“Yes,” the Black Scorpion answers.

“Can you hear her,” Rhodes says.

The Scorpion cocks his head to the side as if he does hear some sound far away. “I can. For the first time in the longest time I can hear her voice singing on the wind.”

“The go to her,” Rhodes says. “Go to Sister Abagail. It is a gift from the Black Scorpion.”

The Black Scorpion fades as Bray Wyatt awakes from his sweetest dream.

[Leo]

Christopher Daniels sits behind a giant desk in a high backed chair. On the wall behind him is an oversized portrait of himself in military garb with a gloved hand over top a globe. The doors to his study fly open and two goons bounce in and land on the floor in a heap. The Demon and the White Scorpion walk through the door.

“I was expecting company, but not you two,” Daniels says as he stands.

“What do you know of the Black Scorpion,” Sting shouts as he points at Daniels.

Daniels gives a short, wry laugh. “Do you think I’m the Black Scorpion. If I was going to throw a rock through Bruce Wayne’s window, I would have taken credit for it. And it wouldn’t have been a rock, but one of those old fashioned black bombs with a lit wick sticking out of it.”

“You do know about the rock and you do know about the Scorpion,” Balor says.

“Of course, I do. The Scorpion’s return was laid by the Nightmare and facilitated by the Eater of Worlds, who himself has been eaten by the power. It was he who I was awaiting, because I have something that belongs to him,” Daniels says.

As if on cue the window at the far end of the room breaks. Landing on the floor bedecked in a black robe with hood is the Black Scorpion. He removes the hood to reveal Bray Wyatt. He points at Sting and says “the Black Scorpion demands your soul, White Scorpion. But, not here, not now. I am here for a richer prize.”

Daniels walks over to a shelf and picks up a very ornate earn. “The soul you wish to claim today is that of Sister Abagail. I’m a bit of a collector myself and she came across my path. Such an interesting soul, so demented, so psychotic and, yet, so pure.”

“Yes,” Wyatt reaches out his hand. “Giver her to me.”

“You can have her,” Daniels says nonchalantly and smashes the urn into the floor. A bright kaleidoscope of light lifts up and zooms out of the window.

“No, come back to me, Sister Abagail,” Wyatt yells. “It’s still me, I’m still Bray and I’m the Black Scorpion.” Wyatt leaves from the broken window he entered through.

Daniels crosses back to his desk and sits. “Well, you came here because you thought I was the Black Scorpion. I am not. The Fallen Angel needs to be nobody other than himself. Now, if you excuse me, I have to see about getting my office window fixed.”

“This is the first movement of the opera to be performed, Daniels,” Balor states. “We’ll both see you soon in a GCW ring.”

“Looking forward to it,” Daniels says as he lifts the phone receiver and makes a dismissive hand gesture.

Courtney Rush wakes up and trips sleepily to the bathroom where she brushes her teeth. As she looks in the mirror, she comments internally on how nondescript she looks and how nothing ever happens in her life. It’s wake up, go to work as a low level chemist at Wayne Enterprises, come home, go to bed. Every day is the same. Nobody ever notices her. She wishes Bruce Wayne would notice here.

A hot shower and bowl of cold cereal later, Rush is on the commuter train that runs straight to Wayne Tower. She stares at the floor with her head down, but lifts it up as she hears people murmuring. Her eyes lock onto a glowing orb floating just above her head on the train. Rush tilts her head and she’s about ready to speak when the orb absorbs her. Blasts of red and black power shoots from eyes, mouth, and hands.

The train car is blown apart. People run away. Courtney Rush stands in tattered clothes, her face looking like a banshee, cuts are up and down her arms and across her stomach that pulsate with a life of their own. She stares into the distance at Wayne Tower.

“We are Sister Abagail. And we have an appointment with Bruce Wayne,” she wails.

[Leo]

Christopher Daniels with the Great Muta in tow bursts through the doors of Bruce Wayne’s office.

“I tried to stop them,” Wayne’s secretary, Beth Phoenix, says.

“Next time you will just have to try a little harder,” Daniels says.

“Oh, I will,” Phoenix replies with an edge creeping into her voice.

Bruce Wayne comes out from around his desk and up to Daniels.

“Mr. Wayne, I do not appreciate you sending your goons to my office,” Daniels states. “So, I have visited your office with my man, the Great Muta, for you to know how it feels.”

“You’re not the first uninvited guests I’ve had in my office. And this pales in comparison to the still busted window.” Wayne gestures to the window.

“Well…”Daniels says with a pregnant pause. “I had nothing to do with that, but I do know who did.”

“The Black Scorpion has a new host. One Bray Wyatt. Balor and Sting informed me,” Wayne says.

“You know a lot, Mr. Wayne, but were you expecting this,” Daniels says as Sister Abagail emerges through the busted window, 40 stories from the ground.

“Bruce Wayne, the dashing playboy with a new woman on his arm every night. Are we pretty enough for you now? Would you like to wine us and dine us,” she intones with a hiss.

Sister Abagail approaches Wayne, but Phoenix steps in the way. Abagail takes a wild swing, but Phoenix blocks, ducks underneath into Abagail and takes her on her shoulders. Phoenix drops Abagail through a coffee table with a Samoan Drop.

“We’re lucky she didn’t try to stop us harder,” Daniels says blandly while examining his cuticles. “We will leave you to your catfight, Mr. Wayne, but it won’t be the last you will see of us. The GCW ring might have rewards for the two of us as well as the others you are recruiting.”

Daniels exits with Muta in tow. Wayne checks on Phoenix who is pulling herself from the wreckage of the glass coffee table. He is shocked to find Sister Abagail gone, although he never saw her leave.

[Leo]

Billionaire Bruce Wayne exits the elevator of Trump Tower with secretary Beth Phoenix in tow. She takes notes as Wayne walks and talks. However, he slows his pace as he sees a glut of reporters in the lobby around a striking blonde woman dressed in a quasi-Viking attire.

“Bruce Wayne says Gotham City Wrestling is for all wrestlers. It doesn’t matter your gender or your weight class. Then why does he have a King of the Cage Title? Why isn’t it a Queen of the Cage Title,” she tells the throng.

Wayne approaches and the reporters immediately turn to him. The woman does not.

“I don’t believe I’ve had the pleasure miss…” Wayne trails off hoping for a name.

“I am Taya Valkyrie. The Valkyrie. And I asked these reporters here so I could call you out on your chauvinism, Mr. Wayne,” she replies.

“Well, I know I have a reputation as a playboy, but I want GCW to be equal opportunity. If you want a shot at the King or Queen of the Cage title, I’m happy to give it you,” he says.

Valkyrie turns now to look at him. “I accept, but only if it’s against her.” She points at Phoenix who looks shocked, but then she narrows her focus and replies, “I’d be more than happy too.”

Wayne steps forward. “Then it’s settled. I’m excited to announce the first ever Queen of the Cage match for the first GCW show. The Valkyrie versus the Glamazon.”

Flashbulbs go off as photos are taken of Phoenix and Valkyrie staring down.

[Leo]

Christopher Daniels sets behind his desk. His man, the Great Muta, sits on the edge of the desk. Perched to strike at a moment’s notice. The doors to the office opens and in walks Frankie Kazarian with his man, Tajiri.

“It’s been awhile, Fallen Angel,” Kazarian says. “Why did you ask me to come to your new home of Gotham City.”

“A new opportunity has arisen for me, for us, to take over not only Gotham City, but the world of wrestling,” Daniels says. “Bruce Wayne is starting his own wrestling company, but he has no idea what he is opening himself up to.”

Kazarian laughs, “It sounds to me like GCW could use some Bad Influence.”

“It certainly can,” Daniels says as he steps up to Kazarian and they clasp in a Viking handshake.

[Leo]

Billionaire Bruce Wayne stands on the roof of Wayne Tower next to a man in a white lab coat and glasses. He has his long hair pulled back in a ponytail and his beard neatly combed.

“Dr. Sandow I can appreciate the huge leaps you’ve proposed to have made in drone technology, but I have to say that I’m still more inclined to go with human pilots,” Wayne says.

“Humans are fallible Mr. Wayne, except for myself of course. So, a drone programmed by me and piloted by me should be able to take out your precious Air Wolf team,” Damien Sandow states.

With that the Air Wolf teams emerges onto the roof in their flight gear.

“Dr. Sandow, let me introduce to you our pilot Matt Sydal, nicknamed Air Bourne, our gunner P.J. Black, known as Darewolf, and navigator Eddie Edwards, the American Wolf*.”
Sydal extends his hand to Dr. Sandow, but he does not return it.

“The test here today will be a simple one,” Wayne states. “A maneuverability and speed excursion through the Gotham skies to see who is better in those regards, Wayne Tech’s high tech helicopter and flight team or the one designed by Dr. Sandow controlled by him on the ground.”

“Good luck, doc, you’re going to need it,” Black quips as they head for the helicopter.

Within a few minutes both helicopters are in the air and zipping through the blue Gotham skies.

“You seem to be keeping up with Air Wolf, so far,” Wayne says.

“I’ll be far ahead of them shortly, Mr. Wayne,” Sandow says.

We cut to inside Air Wolf where Sydal says to his team, “okay, time to skim the Gotham Harbor. Get as close to the water as we can without touching.”
Air Wolf goes low and hovers just over the water, flies along a few hundred yards and goes back up.

“Do you think you can get closer than that,” Wayne teases.

“But, of course,” Sandow proclaims.

Sandow dips the helicopter down as he and Wayne watches it on the screen set up on the roof. Sandow does appear to get even closer to the water, but then it dips even lower and starts kicking up water.

“Oh, no, the water is shorting out my connections. I can’t control it anymore,” Sandow screams.

The helicopter pitches to the left and then goes into the water. Wayne keeps his calm demeanor as he orders Air Wolf to come on in. He then turns toward Sandow.

“I’m not going to charge you for the loss of the helicopter, but you can consider your Wayne Tech grant officially revoked,” he states.

“No, it was perfect. Those Air Wolf goons must have sabotaged me. That’s it, they ruined me,” Sandow said.

“Or maybe you need to invest in waterproofing,” Wayne states.

He then yells to a large man, as big as a gladiator, standing by the roof door, “Mike, please escort Dr. Sandow downstairs and out of the building.”

“My pleasure, Mr. Wayne,” Mike Awesome says. He takes Sandow by the arm and leads him away.

“You’ll regret this, Mr. Wayne. You’ll rue the day you crossed Damien Sandow,” he screams. “You’ll one day idolize me and my brilliance. I will be the intellectual idol of millions, you hear me Wayne!”

The scene fades as Sandow is ushered through the door by Awesome.

*promo retconned to replace Sara Del Rey with Eddie Edwards.

Billionaire Bruce Wayne sits in a cramped wooden chair in a very small office in the deep bowels of Wayne Tower. He tries to get comfortable, but it’s not happening. Across from him is Irwin R. Schyster, the head of the Wayne Enterprises Accounting Department.

“You know we can probably get you some more comfortable chairs and a bigger office,” Wayne says as he tries to cross his legs and fails.

Schyster scowls. “What I do isn’t comfortable, nor should it be. I was hired to watch the bottom line of this company and you’re making that really uncomfortable for me, Mr. Wayne, with this new wrestling venture of yours.”

“Well, you’ve got to spend money to make money sometimes,” Wayne states. “My father used to say that all the time.”

“Your father is probably spinning in his grave right now,” Schyster growls. “Buying Madison Square Garden is one thing, but having it picked up in one piece and flown to Gotham City to be placed down as your personal sandbox to play in is ridiculous. I can’t even give you an exact figure on how much it’s going to cost. It’s somewhere between Sweet Jesus and Booooooooooooiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnng!”

“But, I have that kind of money, correct,” Wayne asks.

“That and then some,” IRS replies. “But, that’s not the point. It’s not a sound investment.”

“A lot of people said I wasn’t a sound investment when I took over as President and CEO of Wayne Enterprises,” Wayne states.

IRS stares and says nothing for a few moments. “Very well, Mr. Wayne we’ll see what we can do in freeing up the cash for you latest whim.”

Wayne stands as does IRS and they exit the office. As they come into the other room with two desks, Dana Brooke and Joey Abs stop making eyes at each other and prepare to be hard at work crunching numbers.

“I’ve told you two to stop that,” IRS scolds. “We’re here to calculate, not fornicate.”

Wayne gives a wry grin. “A little office romance never hurt, as long as work gets done and I’m sure it’s getting done.”

“Yes, Mr. Wayne,” they both say almost in unison and then return to what they were doing.

Wayne exits as IRS scowls after him. He returns to his office and slams the door. Brooke and Abs return to looking longingly at each other.

[Leo]

Mike Awesome and Matt Morgan stand watch in the lobby of Wayne Tower. A janitor enters from outside pushing a large trash can with a broom sticking out of it. He keeps his head down and has his cap pulled down low.

“What is that janitor doing coming in the front way. Shouldn’t he be using the back entrance,” Morgan asks Awesome.

“Custodial engineer is the proper nomenclature,” Awesome corrects.

“Okay, there is something fishy with that custodial engineer,” Morgan snaps.

The janitor inches closer to the elevator and Awesome calls, “Hey, you know you need to take the service elevator.”

The man quickens his stride and his hat falls off to reveal Damien Sandow, who had previously been tossed out of Wayne Tower.

“I’m going to get to Bruce Wayne and there is nothing you or anyone can do to stop me,” he calls.

The elevator doors open and standing inside is Sid Justice, the head of Wayne Security. Sandow runs head long into him and falls back and down on his rear like he just hit a brick wall.

“You either go out the way you came in, or you can ride with me to the roof and go out that way,” Justice growls while pointing a thumb upwards.

“I’ll take the front way, thank you,” Sandow whimpers and scrambles for the front door.

[Leo]

“The Demon” Finn Balor and “The White Scorpion” Sting sit before Bruce Wayne in his office at Wayne Tower.

“I would like to read you both this note from Batman that he sent me,” Wayne states. “It reads, ‘I am thrilled and honored to be recognized by the new Gotham City Wrestling with the Knight of Justice Mantle being one of the titles to be fought and won. Being that this mantle is named for me, I would humbly request that I be allowed to pick the first two men to fight for it. I feel no two others who have joined GCW fit the bill better of becoming part of my Bat Family, even honorarily, than the White Scorpion and the Demon. If you choose to go this route, I wish them both the best of luck and I know they will do my name and image proud.’”

Wayne sits the letter down and removes his reading glasses. “I agree with Batman and feel the two of you are the best possible candidates for this honor.”

At that moment, the door to the office bursts open and in walks Cody Rhodes with his wife, Brandi, and Bray Wyatt, who has assumed the power of the Dark Scorpion.

“We heard everything from outside, Mr. Wayne,” Cody states. “It’s ridiculous that these two get to jump in front of the line for a Knight of Justice shot. I think either one of us would make Batman proud as well.”

“I might dispute that,” Wayne replies.

The Wayne Enterprises Security Team then charges in. Psycho Sid leads with Matt Morgan and Mike Awesome behind him.

“You want us to clear these hoodlums out of here, Mr. Wayne,” Sid asks.

“You can try and you would fail. You might be big of stature, but small of brain and smaller of will when compared to me,” Wyatt retorts.

“I’ve been itching to toss somebody off the roof of this building,” Sid snarls. “Let me pitch him off, Mr. Wayne.”

“Tell you what,” Wayne says as he comes out from behind his desk. “I’ll let you have that opportunity at Knight’s Quest. Sid you can face the Black Scorpion in a Moonlight Madness Match. It’s on the roof of Gotham Square Garden under the light of the full moon, winner throws his opponent off the roof.”

Sid smiles and Wyatt throws his arms out wide and laughs. “Yes, bring it on.”

“That seems rather sadistic for you, Mr. Wayne. I kind of like it,” Cody smirks.

“And I’ll give you a chance to earn a Knight of Justice shot for the following show,” Wayne says. “You call yourself the American Nightmare. Well, we just came to terms with a foreign stable led by the Ravishing Russian. It’s a Germany and Russia combination featuring the Russian Nightmare. Two old foes working together, maybe I don’t like the sides, but I like the sentiment. I also think some friendly national rivalries aren’t bad for morale, you know, like the Olympics. So two national nightmares, one might say, can square off at Knight’s Quest.”

Rhodes smirks grows, “I look forward to the challenge and we’ll make sure that nobody has nice dreams after Knight’s Quest on Sunday.”
Cody leads his crew out. Sid and Wyatt stare at each other until the elevator doors in the hall close.

[Leo]

Damien Sandow is shown working in a laboratory. He draws two syringes of a green liquid from a beaker.

"The Wayne Enterprise Security Team thinks they can boss me around and muscle me. I will show them. I will show them all," he screams.

Sandow walks over to a table where two hulking men are strapped down, Hercules Hernandez and Scott Norton. Sandow injects each man with a syringe of the serum.

"I will make you two more than you were, more than any man has ever been. By injecting you this serum of mine featuring dinosaur DNA I have infused with the raw strength and rage of earth's most primitive and dominate life forms. Arise, my Jurassic Powers," Sandow calls.

Norton and Hernandez break their restraints and sit up on the table, ready for a fight.

[Leo]

Unable to do full write ups, here are some story points for my second card.

*Finn Balor discovers that turning into the Demon in the presence of Cody Rhodes forces Stardust to come out, so Balor chooses to wrestle their match as the Demon as Stardust is less focused than Rhodes

*Sister Abagail doesn’t recognize Bray Wyatt with the Black Scorpion powers and admits attraction to Sting, while having unfinished business with Beth Phoenix. Demented as she is, Abagail proposes the electrified cage match to either fry Phoenix or force Wyatt to prove his love for her.

*Taya Valkyrie believes GCW isn’t as forward thinking as it claims and demands a male opponent for her Queen of the Cage Title. Psycho Sid steps up admitting he’s half the man with half the brains of Valkyrie.

*Monty Brown makes a bunch of excuses for Jazzy Gabert beating him, so she challenges him to a rematch where Lana won’t be at ringside and Gabert will have one arm tied behind her back.

*Bad Influence and Air Wolf won qualifying matches on the first card to advance to the Dynamic Duo belt finals.

*Sandow mad at Wayne Enterprises Security Team still, has the Jurassic Powers interfere in the match between Bad Influence and WEST to cost them the match on the first card.

* First card winners: Balor beat Sting, Rhodes beat Koloff, Air Wolf beat the Buzzsaws, Valkyrie beat Phoenix, Bad Influence beat WEST, Sid beat Wyatt who was saved by the Black Scorpion powers from being hurt when thrown off the building roof, Gabert beat Brown, Abagail beat Sarah Logan, Edwards beat Berlyn, Sandow beat Bennett, accounting department beat Queen Bee and the Drones, Papa Shango beat Zodiac, Bates beat Royce.

[Leo]

Bullet points for heading into the third card:

*Second card winners: Balor beat Rhodes to remain the Knight of Justice, Sting beat Wyatt, Sid beat Valkyrie to become King of the Ring, Air Wolf won the Dynamic Duo titles over Bad Influence, Phoenix beat Rosemary, Jurassic Powers beat WEST, Edwards beat Bennett, Buzzsaws beat Killer Bees, Gabert beat Brown again, Axis Powers beat accounting department, Booty Man beat the Godfather, Rayne and Royce beat Logan and Bates

*Bray Wyatt conceded the match to Sting right before the 15 minute mark to save Sister Abagail. This proves to her that Wyatt is still alive inside the Black Scorpion powers and goes to him. Rhodes feels this is a waste of the Black Scorpion and Sister Abagail powers he allowed to come forth. Wyatt feels Rhodes should try to run from Stardust, he doesn’t know what he has. So Sister Abagail cooks up a mixed tag match between her and Wyatt vs. Cody and Brandy where losers have to give up their powers.

*Sting agrees to stay at ringside for Balor to counteract Dark Dreamer. However, Sting is jumped early on by Suicide. Sting and Balor knows Suicide is Kazarian, but he refuses to admit it. Sting challenges Suicide, wherever he is, to a mask vs. face paint match. Daniels knows that taking the face paint off of Sting would be liking cutting Samson’s hair and agrees to the match for Suicide, again, where he may be.

*Sid wins the King of the Cage Match Title and Awesome and Morgan both feel Sid should give them a match out of loyalty. Sid decides to give his fellow security guards both a shot in a triple threat. Bruce Wayne not wanting to see his security team break up makes it escape rules, which he thinks will be less brutal than pinfall or submission. It’s in the blue cage just for fun.

*Valkyrie still challenges Bruce Wayne about giving equal shots and time to women. She demands a quadruple threat to showcase the women of GCW. And better not be a bra and panties match or a gravy boat match or anything stupid. Wayne grants it and, in a bit of whimsy, says it will also be a type of match no women have ever participated in before. A tuxedo match.
