For Ivelisse, it was her first loss since her very impressive debut at the end of last year. After Rain was defeated by Athena, Ivelisse showed up and offered her hand. It seemed to be the forming of a new alliance in the women's division and one that could be a dominant duo. The two will team up for the first time at WrestleMania where they will take on Nevaeh, who defeated Velez at Valentine's Massacre, and recent top contender Kelly Kelly in a tag team battle!

Angle came out as a surprise entry in the junior gauntlet at Royal Battle where he was upset by Austin Aries in the finale. Aries has been leading his Resistance group as of late with division takeover mind while Kurt was left frustrated. When the J Cup came around, Angle didn't make it far only increasing his frustrations. Last month, following a six man tag, Angle came to the ring and began tossing everyone in sight with suplexes. Except Austin Aries was the one who got away from the ring in time. Angle issued a challenge to Aries to meet him one on one at WrestleMania!

PRESTORY: The always wild hardcore division has been as chaotic as ever lately. The recent wars between Necro Butcher, Abdullah the Butcher, and Mick Foley have seen Abdullah come out on top with the championship. Those battles were all watched by Raven's Flock who decided to get involved last month in a ring clearing brawl. After which it was decided that Abdullah would defend the championship in a hardcore invitational open to anyone!

AFTERSTORY: Ric Flair of all people was a surprise wildcard entrant into the invitational and he had a plan. He was out to ensure the Horsemen taking over on this night but it was not to be as someone else had a plan and that was Raven. Raven and his Flock had been keeping an eye on the hardcore deathmatch scene over the last several months before finally getting back involved last month setting up this chaotic affair. In the end, Flair looked to have Abdullah locked up in the figure four leglock but at the same time, Raven covered Foley. Stuck in the middle, the referee saw Raven's pin first and counted the three crowning a new champion! Raven, Saturn, and Kanemura left the ring with their plan executed while Flair freaked out at ringside. Similar to as seen in November, the crowd were behind the Flock and cheered Raven's victory. This scene is sure to be out of control for the forseeable future but for now, Raven is back on top!



PRESTORY: The Big Show has remained the unstoppable International Champion for years as he always regains the title after the few times he's lost it.

PRESTORY: The history between Jamilia Craft and Claudia is well known over the years in FPR. They became rivals not long after Craft's debut three years ago and were bitter rivals by the end of 2010, culminating in an epic showdown at WrestleMania 6. Jamilia was victorious in a 2/3 falls battle and Claudia disappeared for several months afterwards. Claudia would return in October, seemingly scouting her perennial rival, but would end up coming to Craft's aid and offering her services as a tag team partner when she was in need. Craft reluctantly accepted and the two proved to be a shockingly successful tag team. Last year at WrestleMania 7, the unlikely duo challenged for the womens' tag team titles but came up short. All was not lost though as they captured the gold later that year at the Great American Bash. Unfortunately for the team, they were unable to hold on to the titles for very long. Since then, they have had their ups and downs but had not been able to regain their previous momentum that led them to championship glory. Now come WrestleMania 8, the two found themselves without a match scheduled and out of contention for the titles. This led to Craft and Claudia agreeing to do battle against one another once again with both feeling they couldn't be left out of the grandest stage after their past two years. So at a third straight WrestleMania, the next chapter in this saga will unfold!

AFTERSTORY: Another classic from these two in their storied history. At the fifteen minute mark, Craft was able to put Claudia down once more with her belly to belly suplex. After the match, Craft helped Claudia to her feet and shook her hand. But this time, Claudia held on and then nailed Craft from behind! Claudia proceeded to beat down Jamilia before stopping and seeming to show remorse for what she was doing. Claudia then stormed off leaving Craft laying in the ring. It seemed another loss was too much for Claudia to handle and who knows what will happen next!
PRESTORY: Hulk Hogan & John Cena have proven worthy of the FPR Tag Team Championships since their controversial defeat of Power Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu. The champions retained in the rematch and went on to win a grueling war against one of the greatest tag teams of all time in the Midnight Express. It looked as thought Power Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu had worked up to another shot at the titles but they opted to go for revenge instead. Thus allowed the Four Horsemen duo of Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard to sneak into the title match as they are ranked #3. Arn and Tully have been at odds with Hogan and Cena as it is for months and now they are going to fight once more on the grandest stage for the championships!

PRESTORY: The Money in the Bank match will be a star studded one for sure. A match with high implications as the winner can have a title shot whenever they choose. Among those in the match include last year's winner Brian Pillman who had a memorable year despite not being able to capture the championship. Pillman hopes to win it two years in a row and right the wrong from the end of last year. The Four Horsemen have sent Jeff Jarrett as their representative in the match. Jarrett had his shot at the same time as Pillman and came as close as anyone to beating Stone Cold but it was not to be. Jarrett now looks to bring it home for the Horsemen. Recent standouts the Rock and Triple H look for their chance at glory by entering the match. Chris Jericho, longtime rival of current champ Stone Cold Steve Austin, enters the match looking to have his shot to take down Austin. Big Bubba Rogers looks to climb back to the top of the mountain as he did last summer when he took FPR by storm and found himself in a major role from that point on battling the Horsemen. Another of Austin's top rivals of the past year, CM Punk enters the match in hopes of getting one more shot at the champion after being unable to defeat him last year. The final wildcard entrant would be Jeff Hardy who looked to shock the world with a win.

Twice they have overcome one of the toughest possible challenges one team could face in Madison Eagles and Kana. Now Belle & Jazz head into WrestleMania as champions to face the next team in line, that being Serena Deeb & Jessie McKay!

PRESTORY: Robert Evans caught everyone by surprise when he emerged as the victor of the 2013 Super J Cup. Out of all the favorites to win it, Evans came out of nowhere to come out on top. Now, Evans will get his shot at the junior championship on the grandest stage against a man he knows well and has feuded with in years past, champion AJ Styles.

Meanwhile, Styles made it back to his feet only for the Miz to suddenly slide in behind and lay him out with the Skull Crushing Finale! Miz stood over Styles and out of nowhere it looks like AJ has yet another obstacle to deal with. At Breakout, Styles will get a rematch with Evans for the title but again will be dealing with many things at once.



PRESTORY: Brock Lesnar has been on a tear as of late since his wild rivalry with Triple H. Lesnar has gotten under others skin and one of them was the Undertaker who got into a backstage brawl with Brock at the Royal Battle.

PRESTORY: Kana has been a vicious competitor since her memorable debut one year ago, igniting her long-running rivalry with Gail Kim. Last year's Great American Bash War Games main event was one of the most memorable as it was the first ever women's war games match. Kana ended up injuring Gail, leading to Ayako Hamada sticking up for her friend and handing Kana her first defeat. Kana retaliated by injuring both Hamada and Gail at Survival of the Sickest and putting them on the shelf. That led to Serena Deeb then taking up for her friends and pinning Kana in her biggest win to date and a memorable encounter. Kana and Madison Eagles had teamed up in pursuit of the women's tag team championships but have been unable to capture the gold. After their last loss to the tag team champs, they let out their frustrations at ringside until Gail & Hamada made their long awaited return, kicking off a wild brawl all around ringside that had to be separated by officials.

AFTERSTORY: These two teams went at it with no regard for the rules whatsoever. They brawled in the ring and out of the ring and refused to get things settled with who was legal, leading to the referee to just throw the match out and rule it a no contest after being unable to control the two teams. After the match was thrown out, officials separated the teams and got them to the back. There will be rematch under Texas Tornado rules!



PRESTORY: Last December saw one a truly unforgettable moment when Power Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu finally reached their year-long goal of becoming tag team champions, dethroning the dominant Midnight Express. Unfortunately their moment would be short-lived, as the Midnights would cost them the belts just one week later and stop them from regaining the titles. Hulk Hogan & John Cena became the new champions but last month, karma stuck back as the Midnights themselves were also not able to regain their prized tag team titles. Power Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu looked to be back in line for one more shot at the tag team titles but instead they have chosen to issue a challenge to their biggest rivals the Midnight Express to end things once and for all on the biggest stage. The Midnights accepted with the added stipulation that the losing team must disband and can no longer team making this truly the final chapter in this storied saga. The fan favorite duo vs the legendary dominant multi-time champs. Only one team will emerge still together!

The Midnight escaped with victory and in the process are once again the number one contenders to the tag team championships. Afterwards, Power Warrior and Tenryu stood in the ring to a massive ovation. The duo raised their arms in the air together one more time before making their final exit. 2012 was a remarkable career year for the team. They were victorious in the 64 team Real World Tag League, won the 8th annual Guerrero Cup Tag Tournament and finally captured the tag team championships before it all came crashing down. Their futures are unclear and we will see if they embark on successful singles careers.


PRESTORY: Mercedes Martinez and Angel Blue have ended up creating one of FPR's greatest rivalries over the last several months. Starting back in September when Angel pinned Mercedes in an eight woman tag match. Mercedes bounced back with two victories over Angel and another multi-woman war. Angel finally beat Mercedes in a classic 2/3 falls match that saw both women hit each other with everything they had and then some. The feud would not end there as they met again in an I Quit match where Mercedes forced Angel into submission. Last month, they met in a tag match and now this epic rivalry is finally coming to an end at WrestleMania! It will be the first ever last woman standing match between these two heated rivals. One will have to put the other down to the point where they can not get up at the count of ten to be declared the victor. Who will be the last woman standing!?

Now Daizee would head into WrestleMania 8 carrying the prestigious women's championship. Without a clearcut number one contender, Daizee was allowed to select her own opponent to get the shot at her championship. Daizee thought about it and then decided that her choice would be her competitive rival, Meiko Satomura, who Daizee felt deserved a shot at the championship after their past battles. And now it came time for the match. Daizee came to the ring for her defense but when it her challenger's music hit, Meiko did not come to the ring. The tron opened up with cameras in the back having found Meiko down on the ground with Sara Del Rey standing over her!

PRESTORY: In January, Bill Goldberg returned to emerge on top as he won the Royal Battle to earn a shot at the Worlds Heavyweight Championship in the main event of WrestleMania. Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin recently shattered the record for longest reigning champion previously held by Goldberg and now he looked to snap that streak.
