MATCH ONE
The Dallas Crowd went wild as the American Airlines Arena lit up with pyro and Warfare went live.

Mauro Ranallo: Welcome to EBWF Warfare! I'm Mauro Ranallo.

Nigel McGuinness: And I'm Nigel McGuinness. There's just two weeks before Summerslam, and EBWF is hurdling toward another jam packed winter schedule. Summerslam, Fanniversary, Christmas Eve of Destruction. I can't wait, Mauro!

Mauro Ranallo: And at the helm, Chris Jericho, who is accompanying this man to the stage.

Hager's music hit and Jericho came out at his side, pumping him up before Jake made his way to the ring. Jericho watched from the ramp as Hager got into the ring, and then went backstage as Tomohiro Ishii's music hit.

Mauro Ranallo: Here is the breakout Champion. He is hellbent on defending the Breakout Championship with honor, Nigel.

Nigel McGuiness: He has to get the victory here or he may have to face Hager for that championship at Summerslam.

Ishii charged as he got into the ring, but got caught and sent into the corner. He turned things around and landed a few thunderous punches. Hager got out of there and hit a side suplex. Both traded punches, Hager was sent out to the floor and then into the crowd. Ishii slammed Hager's hand on the metal railing, then threw that arm into the ring post a few times.

Mauro Ranallo: What do you make of Ishii's assertion that should he beat Jake Hager here tonight, he should get a shot for the EBWF World Championship?

Nigel McGuinness: I'm not sure how he connected those dots, but I do think that Jericho would be afraid to face Tomohiro Ishii.

Still out on the floor, Hager ran at Ishii with a big lariat. The referee checked on Ishii as the crowd chanted "Jericho's B----!" Hager was incensed, and took it back in the ring. Hager went for a pin, but it was only good for a one count. Hager took control of the match. Hager hit a big knee to Ishii's midsection sending him to the floor.

Mauro Ranallo: Jake Hager is a mountain of a man.

Nigel McGuinness: Lucky that! That's what it'll take to beat the Breakout Champion here tonight.

Ishii was back in the ring first. He threw Hager into the corner, then knocked Hager down to the floor. Ishii headed to the floor after him, but Hager tossed him into the barricade and the apron. Hager mouthed off to the crowd and when he turned around, Ishii slammed him with a big boot. The crowd cheered.

Mauro Ranallo: Ishii is the hero here tonight!

Tomohiro dragged Hager back in the ring and hit another uppercut. Ishii followed up with a bulldog, and then laid on some punches in the corner. Ishii hit the spinning powerslam, and went for a pin that was only good for true. Hager came back with a reversal and dropped Ishii over the top rope, Hager hit a chop block to Ishii' knee. Hager went for a vader bomb, but ate a boot. Ishii went for the cover again.

Hager kicked out and the two locked up. Hager hit and scoop slam, and followed it up with the vader bomb hits this time. Hager went for the pin.

Hager grabbed a handful of tights.

Mauro Ranallo: Hager is cheating!

3!

Nigel McGuinness: But it gets the job done.

Mauro Ranallo: Are you kidding me? You can't condone that!

Nigel McGuinness: I'm not looking to get on the bad side of Chris Jericho and Jake Hager.

Hager's hand was raised in victory as EBWF went to commercial.


MATCH TWO

"I Fell" hit the PA and the crowd cheered as Darby Allin skated his way down the ramp, getting into the ring.

Mauro Ranallo: Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for tuning in to EBWF! Warfare is brought to you by Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 and 2. Pre-order is available now, and when you order you'll unlock Darby Allin as a playable character! Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 and 2, available everywhere September 4th.

"Aweeesssooommmmeee!"

The crowd booed as Miz came down the ramp. Allin stared him down as he got into the ring, largely ignoring the crowd. Christy Hemme did formal introductions, and the bell rang.

Nigel McGuinness: Here we go!

To start, Darby had Miz in a headlock. Miz shot off and hit a crossbody for a 1 count. Miz grabbed Darby to pull him back to his feet, and Allin got the headlock back in. Miz stomped the foot, and hit the ropes but Darby ducked a clothesline. Darby surprised Miz with a roll-up for 2.

Mauro Ranallo: Miz looks to be getting frustrated.

Miz bailed. Darby waited impatiently for him to get back in the ring. Miz rolled back in and wanted a Test of Strength. Darby went for it. Miz kicked him in the gut, and locked on the headlock now. Darby shot him off. Miz landed a shoulder block. Darby leap frogged, and hit the springboard lucha Arm Drag. Miz bounced up and rolled out of the ring. Darby looked furious.

Nigel McGuinness: Darby got outsmarted there.

Allin rolled from the ring, and got a huge head of steam to charge at Miz. Miz got out of the way at the last minute and Allin careened into the steps. Miz stomped him against them. Darby managed to get away and rolled back into the ring. Miz headed in after him. Allin escaped from a fireman’s carry, and hit a big slap to the face. Darby hit a back elbow out of the corner. He got his boots up, and hit a charging dropkick to the chest sending Miz into the corner!

Mauro Ranallo: Darby is trying to keep Miz from getting any rhythm at all.

Darby staggered and charged for a body block before hitting an Over The Top Stunner, and the crowd cheered when he went for the cover.

3!

Nigel McGuinness: Miz's professional nightmare continues!

Mauro Ranallo: You're right about that. Darby Allin's hand is raised in victory here tonight.


MATCH THREE
"Sound of Madness" hit the PA, and the crowd got to their feet as Wes Ikeda stepped out onto the stage.

Nigel McGuinness: We weren't expecting the Chairman here tonight.

Mauro Ranallo: We're about to see tag team action involving the Women's Champion and the #1 Contender who will face her at Summerslam.

Nigel McGuinness: It looks like Mr. Ikeda is going to join us here.

Wes sat down at the announce booth, and put on a headset as "Celtic Invasion" hit and Becky and Winter came down the ramp.

Nigel McGuinness: Good evening, Mr. Chairman.

Wes Ikeda: Hey, Nigel. Mauro. How are you guys tonight?

Mauro Ranallo: We're well, Wes. What brings you out here?

Wes Ikeda: I wanted to get an up close look at this match. The build up to this has started to get a little out of hand.

Nigel McGuinness: A little?

Wes Ikeda: I was trying to be polite.

Nigel McGuinness: Since when?

Wes Ikeda: Touche.

"Bossy" hit and Trish and Natalya came to the ring. Natalya's face was bruised and Trish's arm was heavily bandage.

Mauro Ranallo: We're seeing the effects of the attacks on Trish and Natalya last week.

Wes Ikeda: Trish and Nattie are tough. They're 100% focused on this match.

Nigel McGuinness: And medically cleared?

Wes Ikeda: They wouldn't be in there if they weren't.

The bell rang after each woman's boots were checked. Natalya and Becky Lynch started it off. They locked up, but got nowhere. They got into a shoving match. Lynch went for a quick Dis-Arm-Her, but Natalya gets out.

Wes Ikeda: Yeah, that's not going to work.

Natalya took her down and applied a front facelock. Lynch twisted out, but Natalya took her down and applied an arm bar. Lynch got out and tried for a Sharpshooter, but Natalya fights out. Lynch went to the corner and got the tag.

Nigel McGuinness: Mr. Ikeda, do you think after this match tonight, Becky and Trish can let things lie before their match at Summerslam.

Wes Ikeda: They might be forced to.

Winter chopped the chest of Natalya while Trish Stratus looked on. Natalya sent her to the corner, and Winter rolled to the apron. Winter slingshot into the ring for a roll-up. Nattie kicked out. Winter took her down with a big boot and taunted the crowd. Winter then smashed Natalya’s face off the canvas while taunting Trish. Trish bounced around on the outside.

Mauro Ranallo: This is beginning to look so bitter, I'm not sure how they'll make it to the pay-per-view.

Wes Ikeda: I'll tell you what, Mauro. Next week on Warfare, we're going to have a contract signing to make the Summerslam match official.

Winter applied a neck vice before transitioning into a chin lock. Natalya fought up and pulls Winter off.

Wes Ikeda: And in that contract there will be a clause that if either one of these women attacks the other before their match at Summerslam, they will have consequences. Becky will forfeit her opportunity if she attacks Trish. And if Trish attacks Becky, she will willingly vacate the Women's Championship.

Winter quickly came back with a clothesline. Winter teased tagging Lynch in, but then stretched Natalya on the ropes.

Mauro Ranallo: Do you think that will quell the animosity?

Wes Ikeda: I think it's the only way the EBWF Universe gets their match. They're going to tear each other apart otherwise.

Winter took Nattie down and punched away at her. Winter hit a big boots. Natalya tried to fight back, but Winter elbowed her in the face and rolled her up. Natalya kicked out and sent her headfirst into the turnbuckle. Natalya nearly made it to tag in Trish, but Winter stopped her. Winter hit a suplex and went over to tag Becky. Becky tried to grab Nattie by the ankle, but Nattie dove and got the tag.

Wes Ikeda: Here we go.

Trish charged in, but Lynch avoided a forearm and hit a pair of clotheslines followed by a jumping calf kick. Trish hit a neckbreaker and a quick knee to the face for a near fall.

Mauro Ranallo: Trish is really favoring that arm. It looks like she's struggling.

Trish grabbed the hair with her good arm and talked trash. Becky Lynch rolls her up, but Trish slipped out. Lynch reversed and threw the bad arm in the Dis-Arm-Her. Trish tapped before Becky even had it all the way locked in.

Nigel McGuinness: Becky Lynch and Winter are victorious here tonight!

Mauro Ranallo: Trish Status' arm is in a bad way. You have to wonder if she'll be a hundred percent for Summerslam.

Wes Ikeda: Let's hope she can sign the contract next week.

Natalya checked on a pained Trish as Becky's arm was raised in victory and Warfare went off the air.
