way through the tournament in hopes of gaining one last shot at the
Midnights, riding the wave of momentum from Power Warrior's breakout
performance at Survival of the Sickest, and the other team being the

competition with a mean streak en route to the finals. Only one team
would be able to win the tournament and go on to challenge the

time be the charm for Power Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu?

well find himself competing for whichever championship he decides to go
after.
PRESTORY:
Survival of the Sickest didn't seem to settle things between Angel Blue
and Mercedes Martinez. After Angel pinned Mercedes in a tag back at the
Ultimate Encounter, they met at Halloween Havoc in a showstealing
encounter that caught everyone's attention. Mercedes' led a team over
Angel's at Survival of the Sickest and now Angel wanted another shot at
Mercedes in a one on one match. Their Halloween Havoc classic saw Blue

victory and now they would meet once again.

again Angel thought she had the match won after hitting the Deja Blue
but Mercedes would hit the fisherman's buster similar to the way she won
the last time. Only this time, Angel kicked out so Mercedes dropped her
with a second fisherman's buster to secure the victory. The rivalry
with these two has been an intense one without a doubt and it remains to
be seen if it's quite over.

Marti Belle & Jazz regained the titles at Halloween Havoc while the
Jumping Bomb Angels became #1 contenders. The JBAs made an impressive

forth encounter that could've gone either way. The Bomb Angels came
close on several occasions but Belle & Jazz excelled in their
teamwork to overcome the immense challenge.
PRESTORY:
Last month at Survival of the Sickest, we witnessed an even more
vicious side of Kana. Kana brutalized her archrival Gail Kim with three
kicks to the head that knocked her back out of action and then avenged
her first defeat by knocking Ayako Hamada out as well. Serena Deeb, who
scored the only elimination for their team in that match, vowed to stand
up for her fallen friends by challenging Kana to a one on one bout.
Many questioned the move with Deeb's own history when she herself was
injured shortly after her debut back in mid-2011 but Serena was
confident and determined. Jessie McKay would accompany Deeb to the ring
for her showdown with Kana that would take place at Eve of Destruction.
Serena was focused and determined while Kana was poised to maintain her
mean streak for what promised to be a memorable matchup.
Serena Deeb (w/ Jessie McKay) def. Kana (12:41) after an elbow to the face
AFTERSTORY:
Serena did it! Against all odds with an inspirational performance,
Serena put up a valiant fight against Kana and caught everyone by
surprise by defeating Kana decisively! After Kana controlled the
majority of the match, Serena mounted a major comeback and just kept
coming. Serena threw everything she had and eventually connected with a
superplex that left Kana dazed. As Kana slowly returned to her feet,
Serena drilled her with one perfectly timed elbow right to the face that
dropped Kana in a heap to the mat as the final blow. Serena followed up
with a cover and scored one of her biggest victories to date! Jessie
McKay, who cheered Serena on from ringside all match, was quick to pull
Deeb from the ring to safety and they celebrated up the ramp with their
hands held high while Kana began to recover in the ring in disbelief.
Kana will likely remain deadset on revenge but Serena did exactly what
she set out to do and avenged the beatings dished out to Gail and
Hamada. And Serena & McKay along with Gail & Hamada couldn't be
happier with the victory. What a feeling!
PRESTORY:
Victoria has had a great last several months as she became a record 11
time women's champion winning the title back from Chyna at Halloween
Havoc. After a dominating performance at Survival of the Sickest from
the champ, she would give Chyna her rematch at Eve of Destruction.

there is a long list of challengers with everyone gunning for Victoria
including upcoming debuts.
PRESTORY:
Earlier tonight, Austin Aries defeated Jeff Hardy to earn the right to
challenge AJ Styles for the Junior Championship in the night's semi-main
event. A shot that Aries felt he was owed since losing the title in a
triple threat match at Cyber Saturday. Aries was unable to get the shot
at Halloween Havoc and found himself fighting it out with the division
at Survival of the Sickest. Now he was determined to shoot straight back
to the top. Only the champion AJ Styles stood in his way. Now the two
would face off in a blockbuster contest!
Junior Championship Match: AJ Styles def. Austin Aries (15:01) after a sitdown dominator to RETAIN the championship!!
AFTERSTORY:
AJ Styles hangs on to the championship! Styles proves his initial win
was no fluke by putting down Aries clean in the center of the ring in a
spectacular match that saw both men put it all on the line. Aries landed
a 450 across the back while Styles connected the Spiral Tap only for
Aries to reach the ropes. In the end Styles was able to drop Aries in
the center for the win. After the match, Alex Shelley & Dean Malenko
rushed the ring to spoil AJ's celebration. Shelley and Malenko put the
boots to Styles after an ambush from behind. Aries got back to his feet
and joined them. The trio posed with their arms raised until Sin Cara
came to the ring with Rey Mysterio. Aries, Shelley, and Malenko bailed
as they checked on Styles in the ring. The junior division continues to
heat up as all will be vying to beat the clock to earn the next shot at
AJ's championship.
PRESTORY:
The Guerrero Cup tag team tournament culminated with Power Warrior
& Genichiro Tenryu emerging the victors. Their whirlwind year had
found them at another shot at the tag team championships held by the
Midnight Express. It would be their third shot after their first came
from winning the Real World Tag League back in May and a rematch earned
in September. The Midnights bested them twice and continued their
dominant reign while it looked like P-Warrior & Tenryu's quest had
finished. However now at the end of the year, they've battled back
through everything for one more shot! The Midnight Express would have to
prepare for another enormous challenge while the challengers geared up
for a make or break situation. It all came down to this, a blockbuster
tag team title defense in the main event of Eve of Destruction!

Tenryu def. The Midnight Express (17:42) when Power Warrior pinned Eaton
after a lariat to become the NEW CHAMPIONS!!!
AFTERSTORY:
What a way to cap off their year! Power Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu
finally did what they had been unable to do and that was defeat the
Midnight Express to capture the FPR World Tag Team Championships. They
had defeated practically everyone imaginable after coming out on top in a
64 team league and now a 32 team tournament that there is no doubt they
earned and deserved this moment. After a close back and forth fight, it
was Power Warrior's lariat that knocked Bobby Eaton silly and put him
down for the count. The crowd erupted in cheers for the new champions.
They couldn't ask for a better last two months after Power Warrior's
unforgettable Survival of the Sickest comeback, the tag tournament win
and now capturing the gold. After the match, the Road Warriors and
others hit the ring to join the celebration, holding up the new
champions who proudly raised their newly-won championships. The
Midnights were out of it on the outside and now the first challengers
will be determined via beat the clock for Final Showdown. Pyros exploded
for the celebration of the new champions with the closing shot of Power
Warrior & Tenryu posing with the gold. Hellraiser!

weekend and will feature all championships on the line as Beat the
Clock challenges in the next few days will determine the challengers!

STORY: Rain delivers perhaps the most clever strategy in Survival of the Sickest history! No one understood Rain's motives when she remained on the apron for the first half of the match without saving her partners or getting involved in outside brawls. But it all came together when Rain was down 4 vs 1 and Misaki Ohata attempted to quickly eliminate her only for Rain to kick out at 1! Rain was still completely fresh while all her opponents were worn down. Rain used it to her advantage and eliminated each one in one hell of a performance. Rain's partners were shocked but glad to get the victory. Rain left on her own with a smile, knowing her performance will skyrocket her up the women's rankings.
PRESTORY: Hardcore Deathmatch champ Mick Foley teams up with #1 contender Necro Butcher, former champ Abdullah the Butcher, and Foley's sometimes partner, sometimes enemy Terry Funk.

*Funk eliminated Kanemura (31:42) after Necro used a low blow
Survivors: Mick Foley, Terry Funk, Necro Butcher, Abdullah the Butcher
AFTERSTORY: Raven's Flock crumbles but the match was a highly intriguing bout. Throughout the match, the crowd seemed to turn and get behind the Flock who had become the underdogs. In the end, the audience was getting behind Kanemura trying to will him into an upset as he continued to battle but in the end, he fell to a low blow. Foley's team got the win and quickly left the scene. Foley defends the title against Necro at Eve of Destruction next month.
PRESTORY: Tensions mounted between enemies turned partners Jamilia Craft and Claudia after another loss last month at Halloween Havoc. The two were able to leave the arena that night without coming to blows but over the weeks that followed, the two continued to exchange words that caused arguments. The two agreed to settle their problems in the ring and agreed that once they got rid of their frustrations, they could refocus on their tag team relationship. Claudia had said she just had to know to make sure Craft still had it and called it a sort of test. The two would meet in a special attraction grudge match at Survival of the Sickest.
Jamilia Craft def. Claudia (11:04) after two consecutive belly to belly suplexes
AFTERSTORY: Craft got the big win to prove herself to Claudia. As soon as the match was over, Craft helped Claudia to her feet and they embraced. They raised each other's arms to an ovation from the crowd. The two shook hands as Claudia again said to Craft that she just had to know. So it looks like whatever problems that rose between the two have been settled as they agreed to resume their tag team as they left.

Daizee & Meiko recruited Queen's Cup standout Ayumi Kurihara and the legendary Manami Toyota to complete their team. Mariko comprised her team of the debuting Nanae Takahashi, the always dangerous Yumi Ohka, and the returning Takako Inoue. A strong lineup promised a spectacular match!

Ultimately, Yoshida was still not able to gain one up on Haze or Satomura as they were the ones celebrating in victory.
PRESTORY: The Big Show brings in his stablemates from the Faithful to do Survival of the Sickest battle against the opposition. The opposing team would be an intriguing one that would pit Randy Orton in the middle of the MUTA Alliance. Last month at Halloween Havoc, Sting laid out the Big Show following his match with Orton and it seemed that Orton gained Sting's respect at Cyber Saturday. It led to Sting gathering up longtime partner Kabuki and a little bit more reluctant Great Muta to form their team alongside Orton for what promised to be an interesting battle.
Elimination 8 Man Tag Team Match: The Big Show, Hardcore Holly, Mike Foxx, & Umaga def. Sting, The Great Kabuki, Randy Orton, & The Great Muta (42:13) 4 falls to 1

PRESTORY: The Halloween Havoc bout between Mercedes Martinez and Angel Blue was a classic that elevated both women to a higher level. It led to Survival of the Sickest where the two would form teams to face off against one another. Angel joined up with the always dangerous Beautiful People trio while Mercedes formed her team with former women's champ Jessica James, newcomer Su Yung, and returning veteran Sumie Sakai for an action-packed battle!

AFTERSTORY: Clean sweep for Team Mercedes on the efforts of Jessica James who put in a hell of a performance. Angel is not taking the loss lightly and has sworn she isn't done with Mercedes quite yet. Meanwhile, the Beautiful People were in disbelief over their loss considering it was they who delivered a clean sweep in last year's semi-main event. TBP demanded a match with Jessica, Su Yung, and Sumie Sakai that will take place at Eve of Destruction.
PRESTORY: With Junior Champion AJ Styles not scheduled for action on this night, he issued an open challenge for anyone to come out and face him..
Special Challenge Match: Jeff Hardy def. AJ Styles (14:52) with a backslide
AFTERSTORY: The challenge was answered and overcome by Jeff Hardy! A spectacular back and forth match that could've gone either way with several near falls sees Hardy pin the junior champ. Hardy's victory will shoot him to right near the top of the heap in the rankings of the junior division.
PRESTORY: Marti Belle and Jazz have been battling to hold on to the women's tag team championships. They lost and quickly regained the titles from Trish Stratus and Lita while the Jumping Bomb Angels have been climbing the ranks.

PRESTORY: The unstoppable Midnight Express would join up with associates Dennis Condrey & Dr. Death to go to war with one of their biggest longtime rivals Genichiro Tenryu and the Power Warrior, who would team up with the Road Warriors for Survival of the Sickest. Tenryu & Power Warrior have been wanting one more shot at the Midnights while the Road Warriors would like to earn a shot themselves. This would be a big chance to prove themselves before the upcoming tag team tournament in December.

Despite being in a 3 on 1 situation, he persevered and took down the tag team champions in the end. It's definitely a huge statement made as they look towards another shot at the titles in the future. With the tournament and beat the clock on the horizon, they'll have multiple ways to earn a shot but this win here could provide them a shot in early 2013 should the Midnights hang on through the end of the year.
PRESTORY: Halloween Havoc saw Rey Mysterio pull out an upset victory in a fatal four way bout. His opponents weren't happy and took umbrage with Rey's victory. Former champ Austin Aries, Christopher Daniels, and Alex Shelley all put a beating on Rey until he was saved by Billy Kidman, Sin Cara, and Prince Devitt.

Cena's no stranger to the Horsemen himself, having led a team to victory over them a year ago in the main event of Survival of the Sickest. Of course that was a different incarnation of the group and now Pillman was on Cena's side. The Horsemen have kept things interesting all year and now everything has led to this battleground.

Needless to say, the Horsemen have not been happy coming out of the event and they're already looking to come up with ways for retribution.
PRESTORY: One of the most anticipated bouts of the evening along with the Horsemen's battle, was the rematch from the Great American Bash's War Games taking place under elimination rules. The match was considered a real main event of the show as the two teams of four that have been going at it all year prepared for battle once more. Kana, Madison Eagles, Sara Del Rey, and Tomoka Nakagawa vs Gail Kim, Ayako Hamada, Serena Deeb, & Jessie McKay would happen at Survival of the Sickest!

Kana did both those things with vicious head kicks that knocked Gail and Hamada right out. Serena Deeb was able to get one huge elimination in on Eagles before also falling to Kana followed by McKay. The end result was Kana, Del Rey, Nakagawa, and Eagles leaving as the winners, much like they left War Games. Unhappy about the way Gail and Hamada went down, Serena has made the brave decision to challenge Kana to a singles match at Eve of Destruction.
PRESTORY: Despite two decisive victories for Stone Cold, CM Punk continued to claim that he could defeat Austin. Punk declared he would lead a team at Survival of the Sickest against an Austin-led team where if Punk's team won then he would get one more shot at the world title. Punk chose Sid and Chris Jericho for his team, two men that have history with Austin, especially Jericho. Punk promised a mystery final partner that he ended up revealing as Brock Lesnar. Austin's team would consist of himself and three former FPR World Champions - Triple H, the Rock, and the Undertaker. A lot on the line in the Survival of the Sickest finale!

But it all came together when Rain was down 4 vs 1 and Misaki Ohata attempted to quickly eliminate her only for Rain to kick out at 1! Rain was still completely fresh while all her opponents were worn down. Rain used it to her advantage and eliminated each one in one hell of a performance. Rain's partners were shocked but glad to get the victory. Rain left on her own with a smile, knowing her performance will skyrocket her up the women's rankings.
PRESTORY: Hardcore Deathmatch champ Mick Foley teams up with #1 contender Necro Butcher, former champ Abdullah the Butcher, and Foley's sometimes partner, sometimes enemy Terry Funk.

In the end, the audience was getting behind Kanemura trying to will him into an upset as he continued to battle but in the end, he fell to a low blow. Foley's team got the win and quickly left the scene. Foley defends the title against Necro at Eve of Destruction next month.
PRESTORY: Tensions mounted between enemies turned partners Jamilia Craft and Claudia after another loss last month at Halloween Havoc. The two were able to leave the arena that night without coming to blows but over the weeks that followed, the two continued to exchange words that caused arguments. The two agreed to settle their problems in the ring and agreed that once they got rid of their frustrations, they could refocus on their tag team relationship. Claudia had said she just had to know to make sure Craft still had it and called it a sort of test. The two would meet in a special attraction grudge match at Survival of the Sickest.
Jamilia Craft def. Claudia (11:04) after two consecutive belly to belly suplexes
AFTERSTORY: Craft got the big win to prove herself to Claudia. As soon as the match was over, Craft helped Claudia to her feet and they embraced. They raised each other's arms to an ovation from the crowd. The two shook hands as Claudia again said to Craft that she just had to know. So it looks like whatever problems that rose between the two have been settled as they agreed to resume their tag team as they left.

Ultimately, Yoshida was still not able to gain one up on Haze or Satomura as they were the ones celebrating in victory.
PRESTORY: The Big Show brings in his stablemates from the Faithful to do Survival of the Sickest battle against the opposition. The opposing team would be an intriguing one that would pit Randy Orton in the middle of the MUTA Alliance. Last month at Halloween Havoc, Sting laid out the Big Show following his match with Orton and it seemed that Orton gained Sting's respect at Cyber Saturday. It led to Sting gathering up longtime partner Kabuki and a little bit more reluctant Great Muta to form their team alongside Orton for what promised to be an interesting battle.

TBP demanded a match with Jessica, Su Yung, and Sumie Sakai that will take place at Eve of Destruction.

It's definitely a huge statement made as they look towards another shot at the titles in the future. With the tournament and beat the clock on the horizon, they'll have multiple ways to earn a shot but this win here could provide them a shot in early 2013 should the Midnights hang on through the end of the year.
PRESTORY: Halloween Havoc saw Rey Mysterio pull out an upset victory in a fatal four way bout. His opponents weren't happy and took umbrage with Rey's victory.
