Last month at the Great American Bash, Meiko Satomura made an
impressive debut in the battle royal and found herself in a skirmish

Burns!

one in which she debuted in and won back in 2010. Both women shook hands
after the bout. Satomura plans to enter the tournament as well and make
headway into title contention herself. After the match, a video package
aired on the Queen's Cup, announcing that Mariko Yoshida will be the

Burns!

AFTERSTORY:
Lexxus avenges her previous loss with a big victory. Lexxus targeted
Rain's knee which she started on in their last match and in the end, she
caught her out of the corner with a fameasser to get the win. Fans
applauded Rain for her efforts as she seems to be coming out of this as
the fan favorite. Lexxus left with her head held high but with the two
even at one a piece, there will be a rematch. Provided neither one makes
the finals of the Queen's Cup, that match will take place at the
Ultimate Encounter under 2/3 falls rules!
PRESTORY:
Abdullah the Butcher has been a hot a streak as ever as the kingpin of
the hardcore division. Last month, Abdullah made quick work of longtime
rival Raven and after the match ended, Bully Ray made a statement with a
kendo stick shot to the head of the Butcher, effectively challenging
him for the championship.

team match for Final Burns. Nevaeh was unable to capture the gold at
the Bash while Kelly Kelly took everyone by surprise with her battle
royal victory. Kelly's win came over Angelina in the final two. Angelina
would team up with Victoria, who she has a ton of history with, to take
on Nevaeh and Kelly in a tag match of top contenders.

to see a combination of these women in the ring again soon.
PRESTORY:

top contender for the junior championship. The match was won by former
champ Austin Aries, who was impressive in his victory. Aries would go on
to challenge Prince Devitt for the title at Final Burns!

AFTERSTORY:
In a sudden shocker, Austin Aries dethrones Prince Devitt! Aries hands
Devitt only his second ever loss in relatively quick fashion. One can
only assume that Devitt underestimated the former ruler of the division.
Aries was joyful in his celebration, overcome with emotion to regain
the championship that he has not held in five years. Devitt was visibly
upset by his sudden defeat and will receive his rematch at the Ultimate
Encounter. Aries last title reign was a memorable run that spanned
eleven months and garnered Aries much critical acclaim at the time. Time
will tell if Aries has truly returned to form or if Devitt willl be
able to bounce back to continue his breakout year.
PRESTORY:
The Great American Bash was headlined by an unprecedented first ever
women's war games match. The match was a true spectacle that saw several
rivalries come together at once. Those rivalries are far from finished
and the fallout from War Games has only begun. For Final Burns, a
massive tag team battle was signed that would see Madison Eagles and
Kana take on Gail Kim and Ayako Hamada!
Madison Eagles & Kana def. Gail Kim & Ayako Hamada (4:18) when Kana CRITICAL'd Gail with a head kick
AFTERSTORY:
A lethal head kick stopped the match short after a quick intense brawl.
The heat in the rivalry between Kana and Gail Kim has reached a boiling
point. Kana tagged herself into the match and threw a roundhouse kick
that knocked Gail unconscious. The referee initially missed the tag and
considered a DQ but after reviewing the replay, it was discovered that
Kana did in fact tag herself in when Madison Eagles was knocked into the
corner. The match was officially ruled a critical referee stoppage.
Hamada rushed into the ring to check on her fallen partner as Eagles and
Kana left, proud of their work. Gail was helped to the back by Hamada
and officials, no word yet on her condition or the severity of the
injury which will determine if she is cleared to wrestle soon.
PRESTORY:
At Bloodlines, it was Jessie McKay shocking the world with her pinfall
victory over Sara Del Rey that sent Del Rey into a frenzy. Sara would
return to the ring two more times that night to wreak havoc and cause
chaos by attacking Serena Deeb, Hamada, and Gail Kim in what ultimately
led to the war games match being signed. McKay's upset victory set it
all in motion. After the War Games victory, Del Rey was feeling
confident and challenged McKay to a rematch, vowing to avenge her loss.
Sara Del Rey def. Jessie McKay (15:32) via rollup with tights pulled
AFTERSTORY:
Through questionable means, Sara Del Rey did what she set out to do. A
much longer match than their last encounter, both women gave it all they
had. Del Rey became increasingly frustrated at her seeming inability to
put Jessie away, eventually resorting to underhanded tactics. McKay
argued the call after the match to no avail. Del Rey left with her hands
in the air, gloating about her victory, leaving Jessie in disbelief in
the ring.
PRESTORY: The
unlikely duo of Jamilia Craft and Claudia accomplished what they had
been after all year at the Great American Bash when they captured the
women's tag team championships in a thrilling match. Craft and Claudia,
once bitter rivals, celebrated their victory as partners enjoying their
new found success. The ex champions, Marti Belle and Jazz would call for
their rematch at Final Burns.

last long. Belle and Jazz were able to recapture the belts for a third
time. Craft and Claudia were upset about losing the titles so quickly
but are already looking forward to their rematch. The two teams will
meet again at the Ultimate Encounter in what will be a final encounter
of sorts for the two teams.
PRESTORY:
Inside of the War Games, the end came when Tomoka Nakagawa locked
Serena Deeb in submission. Nakagawa's debut was an impressive one that
would not be forgotten. Deeb especially would not forget the end of the
match and challenged Nakagawa to face her one on one at Final Burns to
avenge War Games! Nakagawa accepted the match, vowing to end things the
same way as before.
Serena Deeb def. Tomoka Nakagawa (15:24) with a northern lights suplex
AFTERSTORY:
Serena gains the major victory to avenge her defeat! In a back and
forth battle, Serena pulled out all the stops to put Nakagawa down for
the three count. Serena gains major momentum back on her side as she
heads to the Queen's Cup and looks towards the future.
PRESTORY:
After overcoming Harlem Heat at the Great American Bash, Power Warrior
and Genichiro Tenryu overcame the latest obstacle and in the process,
earned a second shot at the tag team championships that they came close
to winning. They battled through the Real World Tag League for their
first shot but were not able to secure the championships. Now they would
get another crack against the reigning champions, The Midnight Express.
The Midnights had wanted nothing to do with the challengers after
surviving the first time around but now they had no choice but to face
them again.

team champions. Power Warrior and Genichiro Tenryu fall for the second
time and may have reached the end of the road in their title
aspirations. With the Midnight Express retaining over all recent
challengers, it remains to be seen who will challenge next.
PRESTORY:
Big Bubba Rogers took FPR by storm when he won the massive Road 2 GAB
tournament despite not being an odds on favorite. He made everyone take
notice with his impressive performance through the rounds and made it to
the Great American Bash for a world title shot. Unfortunately for
Bubba, he fell short in his quest and was defeated by Stone Cold Steve
Austin. However after the match ended, first Ric Flair came to ringside
and then out of nowhere, Barry Windham appeared in the ring and leveled
Big Bubba with a steel chair to the back. Windham applied the claw on
Bubba until he was forced off by officials. In the days that followed,
an enraged Big Bubba challenged Windham to a match at Final Burns,
swearing to get revenge for the attack.
Big Bubba Rogers def. Barry Windham (11:21) after an inverted atomic drop
AFTERSTORY:
Big Bubba took it to Windham in a huge way and got the win he was
after. Bubba bloodied Windham as payback for last month's attack early
on. After the match, Ric Flair once again came to the ring and this time
brought Jeff Jarrett with him. This distraction allowed Windham to
recover and once again attack Big Bubba from behind much like last
month. Jarrett joined Windham in beating down Big Bubba as Flair watched
from ringside until Brian Pillman ran down the ramp and into the ring!
Windham and Jarrett bailed as Pillman helped Bubba in the ring.
PRESTORY:
At Bloodlines, Madison Rayne returned after a few months off with an
attack on women's champion Athena. It led to a triple threat bout
between the two and #1 contender Nevaeh. Madison Rayne caught everyone
by surprise when she won the match and became the new women's champion.

Beautiful People. Now Athena would get her rematch at Final Burns!

Rayne screamed from the ring. Madison will get her rematch at the
Ultimate Encounter where we will see who carries the championship into
the upcoming seventh annual edition of FPR's most interactive event
ever, Cyber Saturday!
PRESTORY:
Mark Henry dominantly tore through the competition back at Breakout to

the challenge as Flair vowed to be the one to take the title. Austin
said he would have no problem beating Flair's ass at the Ultimate
Encounter.

Victoria def. Nevaeh (25:05) via surfboard stretch submission
AFTERSTORY: These two put on an absolute classic! In the end, the 10 time champion was too much for the younger star. Nevaeh gave it her all and took several Widow's Peaks, refusing to stay down. Ultimately, Victoria bridged Nevaeh into a surfboard submission to secure the victory. Victoria got the win but just barely, and so a rematch between the two is already in the works. Victoria has vowed to remain on top of her game as she has been a prominent feature in the women's division perhaps longer than anyone, dating back to the inception as she was the first ever women's champion and has held the belt more than anyone. Nevaeh has continued to impress and she did not disappoint in the slightest here. She will have to come back more prepared than ever to combat Victoria in the rematch.
PRESTORY: Jamilia Craft & Claudia have turned out to be quite the formidable duo and since suffering the ultimate heartbreak in defeat at WrestleMania, they have been taking on all comers in hopes of earning another shot at the women's tag team championships. They downed former champs the Canadian Ninjas at Breakout and now they'd take on relative new team, Alicia Fox & Latasha.

Henry gladly accepted and promised to inflict pain on the Cowboy.
Mark Henry def. James Storm (11:17) via CRITICAL
AFTERSTORY: Henry sure did deliver on his promise as he decimated Storm and left him laying. After the loss, Storm was checked on by doctors backstage for any injuries.

That may not be a good idea but the Cowboy is determined and the match is being considered for Bloodlines next month.
PRESTORY: On the other side of the Real World Tag League, Block C was won by Dr. Death Steve Williams & Dennis Condrey, the proxy for the Midnight Express.

Hamada defeated Del Rey at WrestleMania only for Sara to come right back and beat Hamada at Breakout. With both women even, FPR management threw a curveball by tossing Serena Deeb into the mix for a triple threat bout!
Triple Threat Match: Ayako Hamada def. Sara Del Rey & Serena Deeb (13:35) when Hamada pinned Del Rey with the spinning powerbomb
AFTERSTORY: Hamada scored the pin on her rival in this hard-fought battle. Serena watched the fall from ringside as she recovered on the outside of the ring but was pleased to see Del Rey go down with the storied history them two have dating back last year. After the match, Serena and Hamada shook hands then went face to face with a brief exchange of words. Word has it, the two agreed to meet each other again in the ring - this time one on one!
Octagon Championship Match: Bob Sapp def. Clubber Lang via 2nd Round KO (1:49) after a reverse powerbomb to RETAIN the championship!

STORY: 8 top contenders were chosen at random to be placed in a battle royal and John Cena overcomes the odds to prevail once again! It seems as though every time Cena suffers defeat, he bounces back in bigger ways. The final two battle between Cena and The Rock was an intense one and the two are likely to meet again soon.
PRESTORY: Marti Belle & Jazz have bounced back in the women's tag team ranks in a major way these last few months. Tag champs, Rain & Lexxus, promised to make Marti Belle & Jazz earn a shot at their titles and that's exactly what they did when they defeated the champions last month at Breakout in a non-title bout, which earned them the shot tonight at Redemption!
Women's Tag Team Championships Match: Marti Belle & Jazz def. Lexxus & Rain (22:51) when Marti pinned Rain after a double dropkick to become the NEW Champions!
AFTERSTORY: And they keep on rolling as they become 2 time tag team champions! It was an all-out brawl for sure that the champions did everything they could in to hang to the belts. The ending saw Lexxus down and bleeding on the outside while Marti & Jazz used a tag team finisher of a double dropkick to earn the victory. Rain and Lexxus will be looking for their rematch but for now Marti & Jazz will enjoy the championship belts as the women's tag scene continues to grow.
PRESTORY: It was time for the Real World Tag League finals. Power Warrior and Genichiro Tenryu battled through two tough teams already earlier in this night to get here while Harlem Heat had an impressive victory themselves.

No doubt that these two have their eyes on the gold now heading into Bloodlines.
PRESTORY: In the first round of the 32 man King of the Ring tournament, Kurt Angle defeated the Great Muta in a 30 minute classic to advance to FPR Breakout. The match was widely praised and a rematch was highly anticipated. As Angle advanced on, he faced Vader. Angle looked to have the match won but when he went to the top rope, Muta arrived to greet Kurt with green mist to the eyes. The mist blinded Angle and allowed Vader to pull Kurt down with a chokeslam to secure the win. Muta had prevented Angle from advancing and created a definite rematch that would take place at Redemption!
The Great Muta def. Kurt Angle (13:53) with the Moonsault
AFTERSTORY: These two went at it right from the get go as the intense hatred had fueled. Muta got the victory, cleanly to the surprise of some. Muta delivered the moonsault first across the back of Angle before delivering a second one to secure the pinfall. No doubt that Kurt will still be out for revenge against Muta and he wants a rematch.
PRESTORY: At WrestleMania, Julian Caesaro & Jiggle-O James Johnson accomplished their months long goal of overcoming the Midnight Express and winning the FPR World Tag Team Championships. It was a true WrestleMania Moment to see them succeed on their third attempt. Unfortunately for them, the Midnights were quick to regain the titles a month later using underhanded tactics in a double elimination tag bout. Now the two teams would meet one last time in a 2/3 falls tag match for the titles billed as the Final Battle between the teams as a definitive end to the rivalry!

They get past their longtime rivals to hold on to the gold but their celebration might not last long as they will now go on to defend against Genichiro Tenryu and the Power Warrior at Bloodlines which could be an impending doom for the champions judging by the results from the tag league. Either way, that match will be sure to garner a ton of interest surrounding the tag team championships.
PRESTORY: Valentine's Massacre saw the out of nowhere debut of Kana as she ambushed Gail Kim following a match.
