Corey Graves: Well this should be an intriguing match, Joey... this past Sunday at King of the Ring, Cactus Jack beat Raven in a thrilling hardcore match. How will he fare against the Lone Wolf, Baron Corbin?

Once Cactus was in the ring, "Superhuman" by CFO$ hit and the crowd booed as Baron Corbin made his way down the ramp, accompanied by Robbie Brookside.

MATCH SIX
The cameras for Warfare returned to the arena, which showed Gionna Daddio already in the ring, waiting for her opponent, Sasha Banks to come down to the ring. “Sky’s the Limit” finally cued over the PA system and a mixed reaction from the crowd went around as the self proclaimed “Boss” made her way out onto the staging area.

Christy Hemme: She is one half of the EBWF Diva Tag champions, from Boston, Massachusetts, Sashhhhaaa Bannnkkss!

Sasha Banks sported her half of the EBWF Divas Tag titles around her slender waist as she walked down the ramp and mouthed off at the fans along the way. Gionna pretended to look at a watch on her wrist that didn’t actually exist and yawned.

Joe Styles: Oh here we go, Corey, it will be interesting to see what unfolds after last week’s attack at the King of the Ring PPV!

Corey: Tensions are sure running high tonight. You can feel it in the air.

Sasha climbed into the ring and out stretched her arms as she circled the ring. The ref backed Gionna up a few steps while Sasha did this. Gionna’s eyes never left her opponent. She was more than ready for that bell to ring. Sasha made a face at Gionna saying “try me”. Gionna sneered and shook her head while Sasha took off her title belt and handed it to the referee. Suddenly the crowd cheers and the camera panned around to the ramp to reveal Blue Pants and Bayley making their way down to the ring without entrance music. Gionna and Sasha looked confused, Gionna throwing her hands out asking what the hell was going on.

Gionna: What is this, yo?

Gionna could be heard saying to Blue Pants and Bayley as they circled either side of the ring and made their way to the announcers table. Bayley took the microphone first and turned towards the two women in the ring. She had a serious expression on her face instead of her normal smile and happy-go-lucky attitude.

Bayley: Oh, Blue Pants… it looks like we might be unwelcome at ringside.

Gionna nodded her head in agreement and signaled for her to take a hike. Sasha had her arms crossed and appeared to be bored.

Gionna: Hit the bricks, bro, I gotta match!

Bayley and Blue Pants simply shook their heads in unison.

Bayley: Oh, I’m sorry Gionna, so you don’t like when people intrude on your matches?

Gionna shook her head no and tried to speak but couldn’t be heard over the fans in the arena.

Bayley: Because I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what you did to my partner, Blue Pants, and myself, last week.

Gionna shrugged her shoulders and readjusted her snapback.

Gionna: I’m sorry, a’ight? I’m sorry. I wasn’t thinkin’, homie.

Gionna was barely heard by the cameras.

Bayley: Sorry isn’t good enough. You took our opportunity at holding the titles away, and now... maybe we should take the opportunity to get your hands on Sasha Banks away. So you can sort of see how it feels. It’s only fair.

Blue Pants: Fair is fun. I mean… fair!

The crowd cheered again and the camera panned back to show Zahra Schreiber running down towards the ring to help Gionna out. Almost right behind her, Summer Rae came trailing down to the ring, hot on Zahra’s heels.

Corey: Alright more ladies! Here comes back up!

Joey Styles: All hell is about to break loose in the Women’s division, Corey.

Sasha’s face lit up and she went to exit the ring and approach Summer. Sasha was blindsided by Gionna who had been keeping her eye on Sasha as much as possible and took her down to the ring mat. In that same moment, Summer caught up to Zahra Schreiber and yanked her to the ground by her raven colored hair. Zahra went down quick as she didn’t realize Summer was right behind her. Zahra cradled her head after smacking it on the floor with a loud thud.

Corey: Wow these ladies mean business!

Joey: You’re telling me!

Summer didn’t waste time laying in some kicks to Zahra’s side as she laid in almost a fetal position. Gionna gripped Sasha’s bright pink hair and used it to slam her head against the mat a few times. Meanwhile, Blue Pants and Bayley looked back and forth at one another and shrugged before going in as well. Bayley made a beeline for Gionna and peeled her off of Sasha Banks. Bayley grappled her from behind and hit a suplex. Gionna’s snapback flew off her head and outside the ring after Bayley’s attack. Blue Pants went for Sasha Banks but was met by Summer Rae. Summer went to clothesline Blue Pants, but Blue Pants ducked and swung her body around, hitting a roundhouse kick to the side of Summer’s head. But Sasha was quick and followed through on the clothesline to Blue Pants as she tried to catch her balance from the roundhouse. Sasha started mouthing off to Blue Pants as she went to help Summer up, but before she could help her to her feet, she was spun around by Bayley who caught her in a bear hug. Summer was knocked to the mat by Sasha’s flailing arms and legs. Bayley primed her for the Bayley to Belly and laid her out on the mat.

Joey Styles: Bayley to Belly on the women’s tag champ!

Sasha was down and out, along with Summer, who was still reeling from the roundhouse kick and accidental hits from Banks. Zahra was still out cold from hitting her head on the ground forcefully, and Gionna sat against a turnbuckle, holding her sides and unable to move. Blue Pants had gotten back to her feet after help from Bayley. The crowd was cheering loudly.

Corey Graves: These two might have opened a whole new can of worms for themselves.

Blue Pants was nodding her head and patted Bayley on the back. She was still catching her breath. They both looked at the group of ladies laid out in the arena before high-fiving. The duo disappeared behind the staging curtain, leaving everyone speechless. The cameras slowly faded out to a commercial break.

The crowd went wild for the arrival of The King of Strong Style, Shinsuke Nakamura! He did his usual entrance coming down the ramp, and then the Neo style back bend off the ring ropes.

Joey Styles: Shinsuke Nakamura has had a rough couple of weeks, recently losing a blockbuster match to Jimmy Havoc.

Corey Graves: He has a chance for redemption here tonight against the Path to Glory Champion, PJ Black.

Black came out to boos from the crowd as he flaunted the championship belt around his waist.

Corey Graves: Sami Zayn is our King of the Ring, but let us not forget that he’s also the the #1 Contender for that Championship.

Joey Styles: If PJ Black doesn’t cash in at Sacrifice, he may very well lose that belt to Sami Zayn just a little less than three weeks away!

The crowd was amped up for this show stopping matchup when the introductions were given and the bell rang. Black tried to shoot on Nakamura, but Nakamura rolled Black up. Black reversed and they separate. PJ grabbed a wrist lock, but Nakamura flipped out of it into a wristlock of his own. Black fought out of it and went for a dropkick, but Nakamura moved out of the way. Nakamura tried to take Black’s head off, but Black moved out of the way. He took Nakamura over with an arm drag and transitioned into a dropkick to the face. Nakamura and Black went face to face, and the crowd was on fire.

Corey Graves: PJ Black is proving to be a worthy opponent for The King of Strong Style.

Nakamura landed a few huge knees to Black. Nakamura kneeed Black in the face. Black retreated to the corner, and Nakamura hit good vibrations twice. On the third attempt, Black grabbed Nakamura’s foot and knee breakered him. Black started to work over Nakamura’s left knee, and then set Nakamura up in the corner and dropkicked him in the knee. Black locked in a reverse cravat hold. Shinsuke fought out of it, but Black kneeed him in the gut. Black went for a senton, but Nakamura got his knees up. PJ landed an elbow drop off the second rope. He went for the pin, but Nakamura kicks out at the two. Black proceeded to work over Nakamura’s knee, back, and neck.

Joey Styles: PJ Black is employing every tactic he can to slow down Nakamura.

Nakamura went for an enzguri, but Black ducked. Nakamura spun right into another kick, which found its mark. He kicked Black in the chest over and over again. After a few knees in the corner Nakamura laid Black on the top rope, and the crowd was firmly behind him. Nakamura charged in and landed a stiff running knee to Black’s gut. Nakamura set up a reverse exploder, but Black elbowed his way out of it. Black rolled up Nakamura, but Nakamura kicked out. Black landed a few knees to Nakamura’s head and looked to be setting up the Black Diamond. Nakamura managed to stand up out of it. Black destroyed Nakamura with a discuss elbow smash to the face. Nakamura tumbled to the outside. Black dragged Nakamura back in the ring. Nakamura tripped Black and locked in a triangle. Black got to the ropes. Nakamura kneed Black in the head over and over again. Nakamura gord bustered Black and called for the Kinshasa. Black reversed the knee strike into a knee breaker/backdrop driver. Nakamura was whipped right into the official. The ref was knocked out!

Corey Graves: The referee is down! The referee is down!

Black locked in the Koji Clutch, but Nakamura got to the ropes. There was no referee to break it up. The crowd suddenly went berserk.

Joey Styles: Sami Zayn! Sami Zayn! What’s he doing out here.

Corey Graves: Seems like he’s here to right this wrong.

Joey Styles: The #1 Contender for PJ Black’s Path to Glory Championship isn’t going to let this stand.

Zayn slid in under the bottom rope, and pulled Black off of Nakamura. Shinsuke rolled to the ring apron as Sami and PJ traded punches Sami whipped PJ into the ropes, but PJ caught himself by hooking his elbows on the top rope. Sami charged forward with a Helluva Kick, but Black dodged, ducking the kick, just as Nakamura had pulled himself to a standing position on the ropes.

Corey Graves: Oh no! Sami Zayn’s Helluva Kick just inadvertently connected with Shinsuke Nakamura!

Zayn bailed out of the ring, clutching his head in disbelief. The referee came to just in time to see PJ Black hit the Black Diamond on Nakamura.

Joey Styles: No! Sami Zayn didn’t mean for this to happen.

PJ Black climbed the turnbuckle and hit the 450 Splash. He went for the pin, and took the victory.

Corey Graves: And PJ Black gets a win over Shinsuke Nakamara, with a little help from Sami Zayn.

Joey Styles: Zayn can’t believe it Corey.

Corey Graves: Will PJ cash in or will he be face Sami at Sacrifice?

Joey Styles: Only time will tell. We’ll see you next week on Warfare!

PJ Black celebrated in the ring as Warfare went off the air.
