MATCH ONE

Mauro Ranallo: Good evening and welcome to Warfare! Tonight, we are live from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada!

Corey Graves: Winnipeg's own Kenny Omega is in our main event tonight... The Cleaner teams with Dalton Castle to take on The Miz and Rey Mysterio.

Mauro Ranallo: Up first though, we've got two superstars making their EBWF debuts as Aiden English goes one on one with Shane Douglas!

"Toreador II" by Apocalyptica hit and Aiden English made his way to the ring. When English was in the ring, "Wanted Dead or Alive" by Bon Jovi hit and Shane Douglas headed to the ring. Once both men were in the ring, the referee called for the bell. Aiden English wasted no time getting started, charging at Douglas and taking him down with a clothesline, then stomping on him several times. Douglas got to his feet and English hit him with a series of punches, then whipped him into the ropes. As Douglas ran back towards him, English lifted him up, hitting a hip toss. Douglas got to back to his feet and English lifted him over his shoulder, before hitting a fireman's carry spinebuster. English hooked the leg and the referee counted - 1... 2... kickout!

Mauro Ranallo: A strong start from Aiden English!

English pulled Douglas to his feet and hit him with some more right hands, then whipped him into the corner. English ran at Douglas and went for a corner forearm smash, but Douglas moved out of the way at the last second, causing English to collide with the turnbuckle. As English staggered out of the corner, Douglas grabbed him and hit a DDT. Douglas then dragged English to his feet and hit a piledriver, before hooking the leg. The referee counted - 1... 2... kickout!

Corey Graves: Brutal piledriver there by Shane Douglas... it will be interesting to see can and if Aiden English can recover!

English still looked dazed as he got to his feet, and Douglas set him up for a Belly-to-Belly Suplex, But English blocked it, countering with sitout jawbeaker. English then grabbed Douglas by the legs, putting him in a figure four leglock! Douglas was able to get to the ropes, and the referee ordered English to break the hold. English did so and dragged Douglas away from the ropes, then went to reapply the figure four. Douglas kicked him away and got to his feet, then grabbed English and whipped him against the ropes. As English ran back towards him, Douglas went for a powerslam... but English countered with a headscissors takedown!

Mauro Ranallo: Great counter by Aiden English! Can he seize the momentum?

Both men got to their feet and Douglas went for a clothesline, but English ducked out of the way and got behind Douglas, hitting him with the Director's Cut! He hooked the leg and the referee counted – 1... 2... 3!

Corey Graves: It's over! Aiden English gets the victory!

English celebrated, then made his way to the back, taunting the crowd and Douglas as he did so.

MATCH TWO

Mauro Ranallo: Up next, we've got Marty Scurll versus Daniel Bryan!

"One True Villain" hit and the crowd booed as Marty Scurll made his way to the ring. After Scurll had entered the ring, "Flight of the Valkyries" hit and the crowd erupted with cheers and "Yes" chants as Daniel Bryan headed to the ring. Once Bryan was in the ring, the referee called for the bell. Bryan went for a lock up, but Scurll hit him with a kick to the midsection, then followed it up with a series of punches. He dragged Bryan towards the corner, slamming his head against the turnbuckle, then climbed to the top rope and hit Bryan with a tornado DDT. He hooked the leg and the referee counted – 1... 2... kickout!

Corey Graves: Scurll starting this match strong here! The Villain has been a frustrated man lately, and he's taking all that frustration out here on Daniel Bryan tonight.

Scurll stomped on Bryan several times, then dragged him to his feet and set him up for a powerbomb. Bryan countered with a back body drop, then as Scurll got to his feet, Bryan hit a belly to belly suplex. Both superstars got to their feet and Bryan went to whip Scurll against the ropes, but Scurll reversed the Irish whip, sending Bryan into the ropes. As Bryan hit the ropes and ran back towards him, Scurll hit a knee to the gut, then followed it up with a knee smash! Bryan was dazed, and Scurll took full advantage, hitting the Bird of Prey! He hooked the leg and the referee counted – 1... 2... 3!

Mauro Ranallo: It's over! Marty Scurll making short work of Daniel Bryan there!"

Scurll celebrated as Warare went to commercial.

MATCH THREE

Warfare returned from commercial as the team of Finn Balor and Braun Strowman were stepping up and into the ring.

Mauro Ranallo: We're back here as Finn Balor and Braun Strowman get ready for their battle with the team of Tommy End and Michael Dante.

Corey Graves: A win here would propel Balor and the Monster Among Men right to the top of the list for the tag team championships.

"Lost in Static" by After the Brutal played out of the speakers as the imposing figures of Tommy End and Michael Dante appeared from behind the curtain. The two men made their way down to the ring with the tag team championship belts around their waists.

Corey Graves: Finn Balor and Braun Strowman may have size and speed on their side, but they have a tall order with these two men. Strong, brutal, and deceptively quick.

End and Dante raised their tag titles in the air as they got into the ring, taunting the crowd. They put their tag titles down by their corner as they got ready for the match. The referee called for the bell and Tommy End started in the ring with Finn Balor. The two exchanged punches and kicks, attempting to outstrike each other in the early onset of the match. Finn whipped End into the ropes and gave him a reverse roundhouse kick into the gut, then bounced himself off the ropes and hit a sling blade, sending Tommy down to the mat. Finn immediately went for the cover and got a two count.

Mauro Ranallo: Some quick paced action here early on!

Finn picked End up and threw him into the corner, charging forward. End stopped him in his tracks with a boot to his face and then mounted the second turnbuckle. He leapt off and hit a tornado DDT on Balor, Instead of covering him, End dragged Balor towards their corner and tagged Dante in. Dante came into the ring and picked up Balor, hoisting him up onto his shoulder and driving him back-first into the corner, driving the air out of Balor. With a few hard shoulder checks into Finn's midsection, Dante followed up by lifting Finn up and seating him on the top turnbuckle. He then clobbered Finn with a hard elbow, causing him to tumble over the corner and spill outside to the mat.

Mauro Ranallo: Mama mia! What a bad landing by Finn Balor!

Balor was slow to get up as Dante exited the ring and pursued his quarry. Dante again picked Balor up and stuffed him between his legs.

Corey Graves: No, not outside!

Dante went for a powerbomb, but Balor reversed it into a back body drop which sent Dante crashing to the floor on his back. Dante clutched his back in agony as he rolled around outside. Balor got back into the ring and tagged in the Monster Among Men.

Mauro Ranallo: Oh boy, business is about to pick up here!

Braun Strowman quickly stepped into the ring as Dante stirred outside. Strowman stepped out of the ring in the area nearest to Dante and picked him up, gorilla pressing him into the ring with hard impact. The crowd gasped at the athleticism.

Corey Graves: Every time I think that Braun Strowman can't get anymore frightening, he does something like that.

Dante swatted at Strowman who was back in the ring, but Strowman grabbed him and whipped him into the ropes. Dante charged forward and attempted a shoulder block, and Strowman didn't flinch. Dante again bounced off the ropes and tried another running attack, but Strowman used his open palm to smack Dante in the chest, causing a sharp cracking noise that reverberated throughout the arena and sent Dante down to the mat. Dante was very slow to get up on his own, clutching his chest in agony. Finn reached out for a tag and Strowman tagged him in. Balor quickly ascended to the top turnbuckle and sized Dante up.

Mauro Ranallo: We could see the Coup de Grace here!

Balor leapt off and went for his signature double foot stomp, but Dante moved out of the way. Balor rolled through and picked Dante up and whipped him into the corner. Balor charged forward and hit a high missle dropkick.

Corey Graves: What a kick! Right in the mush!

Balor whipped the stumbling Dante into the ropes, and Tommy End smacked him on the shoulder, tagging himself in. Finn, not noticing, continued to press the attack on Dante by hitting him in the gut with a knee and throwing him towards the opposite corner. Dante charged towards Strowman and hit a baseball slide into Strowman's feet, causing him to fall off the apron and hit the ground. Simultaneously, End leapt into the ring and whipped Balor around, clocking him square in the jaw with the Owari Death Kick! Balor fell to the mat like a tree, as Dante slid outside to restrain Strowman from getting into the ring. End pinned Balor and got the 1...2....3!

Corey Graves: The Sumerian Death Squad has defeated Balor and Strowman! What strategy by these two champions!

Tommy End and Michael Dante grabbed their tag team titles and celebrated in the middle of the ring as their music played in the background.

SEGMENT

"Rush of Power" by CFO$ hit the PA system. The fans only seemed to cheer somewhat for Summer Rae due to the confusion of her being there. The tall blonde superstar had not been booked for a match in several months. She didn't bother to taunt the fans or even acknowledge them as her eyes were dead set on the ring. Her face was stern, she was definitely on a mission.

Summer Rae had her long blonde hair tied back in a messy bun. A single number 2 pencil stuck through the bun to hold it in place sloppily. Summer wore a pair of tight jeans and a rather plain black T-Shirt that read "TRUTHER" in white lettering across her chest. To top off her outfit, she sported a pair of vegan friendly Chuck Taylors, instead of her infamous expensive high heels she always used to wear. Her wardrobe had drastically changed since her time with the Mean Girls. All signs of her former fashionista self were long gone now. Summer appeared to skip hair and makeup all together, no signs of makeup anywhere on her face. The tall blonde climbed up the steel steps and stepped in between the ring ropes. Summer walked over to the backside of the ring and motioned for Christy Hemme to get her a mic. Christy stood up from her seat and retrieved the microphone, handing it over to Summer. Summer Rae turned to face camera side just as her music cut. The crowd still cheered.

Summer: Excuse me, but now is NOOOTTT the time to be noisey! You have all night to be wild and crazy, right now... well right now - It's LISTENING TIME! It's time to dose the masses with the red pill. WAKE UP PEOPLE!

Summer raised her voice and tried her best to appear annoyed but she just ended up looking pretty exhausted.

Summer: I have been doing my own investigations for months. Tirelessly sacrificing my precious time to get to the bottom of the corruption around here. So many of you are either asleep, or just blind. Does anyone here not think it odd that Liv Morgan was Women's champion? A young Ikeda favorite, hmmm. What a coincidence. But she couldn't keep her greasy pizza fingers on the title, could she? Uh, no. She couldn't, in case you brain dead losers forgot. Now we have... Zahra Schreiber. Zahra Schreiber. Zahra FRICKIN' Schreiber is our Women's Champion. She's the face of the division? ... ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

Summer half shrieked in frustration into the microphone. She stopped and took a deep breath. She slowly exhaled to recollect herself and raised the mic up to speak once more.

Summer: Moving along. Not only did we get the poster child of Hot Topic as the face of our Women's division at Wrestlemania... we gained the Mr. Rothschild of professional wrestling as our GM - Wes Ikeda. Ha! Great. I see you from a mile away, Ikeda! You aren't fooling me for a single second! I mean really, we know how much your petty little wife detests me and my former stable mates. Don't think for a second that I think Nattie had nothing to do with getting rid of both Sasha Banks and Eva Marie. I am the one she couldn't chase off! Convieniently your wife "leaves" the company just as YOU become the GM. Real convienient.

Summer scoffed and shook her head.

Summer: Awfully coincidental, don'tcha think?

The crowd cheered. Summer rolled her eyes.

Summer: I don't believe in coincidences and neither should any of you! Coincidences are FAKE news just like that green screen loving Anderson Cooper and the rest of those CNN croonies.

Summer paced the ring slowly as she spoke.

Summer: ...and like a game of Chess, the Ikeda's are making a play at me. I know it. Slowly, and silently, but it's happening. Oh, it's happening. I've been spewing out truth and facts about their corruption and now they are moving in on me, just like they did my former stable mates. Well I'm not going to back down, and I got my eye on you, Ikeda. One wrong move and I'll be all over it. Do you people think my lack of booking as of late is random? Uhhh - how about no! I went from being booked week after week with Sasha Banks and Eva Marie to nothing. Nothing! Now that they are gone? I have been shut out. Where's my Women's Championship title shot, huh? Why do I keep getting skipped over TIME and TIME again?! The deep state is trying to silence me! This is censorship! Don't you people get that?!

Summer brushed some of the loose strands of her disheveled hair out of her face. The fans started to boo her. Summer visibly got frustrated.

Summer: Forget it! You people CLEARLY don't possess the mental capacity to comprehend what I am saying. I am trying to spread awareness and you're not listening to me! You fools!

Summer pointed her finger out at the audience vehemently.

Summer: You're all sheeple!! Every. Single. One've. You! Well, one day ya'll will ALL regret it and it'll be too late. Keep on with your mundane, unfulfilled little peon lives, you are modern day slaves! Just like so many of us in the locker rooms in the back. So many of us held back to float a nice life for the top 1%. The "inner circle" of friends and family to Ikeda that manage to get amazing opportunities that the rest of us will never ever get. Nothing will change if you-

The crowd booed her even more now. Summer mouthed off at the audience but it was away from the microphone in her hand. Summer pressed her lips together in annoyance.

Summer: You know what? I'm done with you imbeciles! Don't say that I didn't put ya'll on notice. You've been warned!

Summer threw down the microphone to the ringmat in frustration, unable to understand why the crowd wasn't willing to hear her out. Summer looked like she was about to pop a blood vessel in her forehead as she screamed out.

Summer: THIS IS FAR FROM OVER!!

She stomped her foot on the ring mat and mouthed off at the audience before she rolled out of the ring and headed backstage. The camera faded out to a commercial break.

MATCH FOUR

EBWF Warfare returned from commercial with Seth Rollins and Jon Moxley already in the ring.

Mauro Ranallo: These two men are chomping at the bit to face off, and we're looking forward to seeing it here tonight Corey!

The bell rang and the match began with a lock up. Rollins rolled Moxley to the mat. They exchanged a series of back and forth before Moxley was taken to the mat by Rollins once again. Mox countered and put an arm bar on Rollins in the center of the ring. Rollins countered now with a series of punches.

Corey Graves: These two have quite the history on the independent scene, and it seems like maybe Rollins might be using that knowledge now.

Rollins took control hitting Moxley in the corner and applied a leg lock on Mox. Moxley was fighting to get out looking for the ropes. He got there, and Rollins broke the hold. Moxley tried to gain momentum, but was taken down again and put in another leg lock by Rollins. Rollins slammed Moxley's knee into the mat. Rollins hit a series of punches and elbows in the corner on Moxley and sent him to the center of the ring. Rollins went to the top rope. Moxley met him there and hit a suplex from the top turnbuckle. Moxley was favoring his leg. He hit Rollins with a series of slaps, punches and chops to the head and chest. He sent Rollins tot he ropes and missed a running bulldog. Rollins now turned the tables, but he was rolled up by Moxley for a two count. Moxley got up with Rollins and hit a front facing slam on Rollins. He covered for a two count.

Mox went to the top rope and leapt off with a forearm, but Rollins moved out of the way. Mox flopped belly first, getting the wind knocked out of him.

Mauro Ranallo: That'll do it!

Corey Graves: Seth Rollins gets the victory over Jon Moxley here tonight!

MATCH FIVE

As Warfare returned from commercial Dalton Castle was already in the ring as Kenny Omega’s theme was playing and he stepped out into a chorus of Boos. Omega paused briefly before continuing down into the ring, He spoke briefly with Dalton Castle until…

BOOYAKA BOOYAKA.

Rey Mysterio shot out of the ramp and into the air as fans cheered. Rey went side to side at the top of the ramp as Pyro shot out behind him. He waited for a minute until…

AWWWWWEEEESOOOOMMMMEEEEEE.

The EBWF World Champion sprinted from behind the curtain to an eruption of cheers as he brought the house down with excitement. With the belt hung over his shoulder, he did a handshake/hug with Rey before they walked down the ramp together.

Once in the ring, Kenny Omega shouted a few coarse words in the Miz’s direction, but the Miz barely noticed. The referee took the belt from the Miz and briefly reviewed something with all four men before Omega again was spouting off at the Miz. The ref pushed Omega back, and Omega put his hands in the air before stepping through the ropes onto the apron, signalling he was letting Dalton Castle take the lead. The Miz spoke briefly with Mysterio before Mysterio took his spot in the corner just as the bell rang.

Corey Graves: Well there is certainly no love lost between Omega and the Miz, but you have to wonder how Dalton Castle and Rey Mysterio feel getting dragged into this rivalry.

Mauro Ranallo: Well after Omega gave Castle a victory over the World Champion last week, you have to consider that the target on the Miz’s back keeps getting bigger as everyone wants that championship that the Miz won at Wresltemania.

Dalton Castle and the Miz has tied up a number of times, with the Miz taking the early advantage. They tied up again and Miz got Castle in a headlock, but Castle was able to push Miz off of him and towards the ropes. The Miz bounded off the ropes and hit Castle with a flying forearm to bring him down. The Miz quickly lifted Castle up and whipped him into a vacant corner. The Miz followed in and climbed to the second turnbuckle and began raining down a series of hard left and rights as the crowd counted out

8….

Before Miz could get to 10, Omega had left his turnbuckle run up behind the Miz and pushed him over the ropes and down to the outside. The ref scolded Omega but the Damage was done. Omega returned to his corner as Dalton recovered and began his assault.

Maura Ranallo: Omega really saved his partner there, and definitely did some damage on the Miz. That was a NASTY fall.

Corey Graves: You’re right there partner, and you have to wonder if the Miz can make it to Rey for the tag and get Miz the rest he deserves.

Back in the ring, Castle was toying with the Miz when the Miz hit a devestating DDT out of nowhere as the crowd gasped. Exhausted Miz could not capitalize but began to crawl towards Rey as the crowd began to cheer. Miz reached out for Rey’s extended hang, but Omega had rushed around the Ring and pulled Rey off the apron. The Miz was crushed, but that soon turned to anger. He slide out of the ring and pushed Omega, who pushed Miz back, Omega went to strike the Miz, but Miz - rejuvenated - ducked out of the way, and swung around him and hit a Skull Crushing finale on Omega on the outside. Rey quickly reminded Miz that Omega wasn’t the legal man, and insisted he get back in the ring. Miz slid back into the ring, but was met by the boots of Dalton Castle who had recovered. Dalton went to pick up Miz, but the Miz had played possum and quickly tucked Dalton Castle into a surprise small package. Dalton turned it around though with the reversal!

1….2…..3!!

Corey Graves: Dalton Castle has gotten one over on the champion here!

The Miz rolled to the outside, as the boys moved inside to celebrate with DC.
Rey went over to check on the Miz, and help him to his feet. Miz and Rey turned to go back up the ramp, but they were met by Kenny Omega blocking their path. Suddenly Omega began to smile, and Mysterio drop kicked the Miz from behind and he staggered forward into the ropes.

Mauro Ranallo: Oh no! Rey Mysterio has turned on the Champion!

Corey Graves: Well, I think the Miz is going to find out that it’s lonely at the top. There are always more people who want to bring you down than keep you up! I think that’s what we’re seeing here.

Dalton and The Boys left the ring and proceeded up the ramp as Omega and Rey got the Miz back into the ring. Omega stood back and let Rey hit the 619. Miz was staggering back as Omega connected with the One Winged Angel. Omega bent over the fallen Miz and grabbed his face.

Kenny Omega: YOU DESERVE THIS! DON’T EVER TAKE FROM ME AGAIN!

Omega retrieved the World Champion and stood in the middle of the ring with it raised high above his head.

Corey: I cannot believe what we’ve just seen Mauro! How can the champ come back from this!?

Mauro: I don’t know Corey but one thing is for sure - the Miz has likely never felt more alone than right now!

Omega stood over the Miz as Warfare went off the air.
