PRESTORY: Last month, John Cena was victorious in a big eight man battle royal. Cena always seems to be bouncing back from major losses in even bigger ways.

PRESTORY: The rivalry between Kana and Gail Kim has been a hot one since Kana's debut earlier this year. The two have had two stellar matches that were amazing must-see matches. In those matches, Kana was victorious both times. Gail, however, has refused to give up and challenged Kana to another match despite losing twice.

So the third chapter would be settled between these two with victory coming by way of submission!

Gail came close on several occasions with many submissions of her own but in the end it was Kana utilizing the octopus stretch to obtain the victory. Kana stood tall as the undisputed winner with now three straight victories. After the match ended, Sara Del Rey once again returned to the ring and began putting the boots to the fallen Gail Kim! Kana watched on from the corner as Del Rey continued her vicious assault. Kana then shrugged and decided to join in on the beatdown! Sara and Kana were all over Gail until Jessie McKay, Hamada, and Serena returned to the ring to chase them off. The trio helped Gail in the ring get back to her feet as Del Rey and Kana retreated up the ramp. This situation continues to heat up among some of FPR's biggest rivalries.

PRESTORY: Prince Devitt has taken FPR by storm since his impressive debut in the Super J Cup. Since then, he captured the FPR Junior Championship at Breakout from Ultimo Dragon.

Meanwhile in the ring, Athena continued her celebration until suddenly Madison Rayne slid in from behind and assaulted the champion!
