PRESTORY: A four way battle of top contenders was put together after the fallout from Cyber Saturday and the Ultimate Encounter. Former champ Austin Aries badly wants a rematch. Christopher Daniels, who pinned new champ AJ Styles at the Ultimate Encounter, feels that win makes him entitled to a title shot.

PRESTORY: At Cyber Saturday, the Jumping Bomb Angels came within a vote of getting the women's tag team championships shot. As a result of their performance in the voting, they were granted a match with former champs Jamilia Craft and Claudia in what would be a battle of top contenders.

PRESTORY: Angel Blue gained possibly her biggest victory in an eight woman tag at the Ultimate Encounter when she scored the winning pinfall on FPR newcomer Mercedes Martinez. While new to FPR, Mercedes is obviously a veteran and many considered it an upset.

PRESTORY: Athena has been livid since losing the womens' championship at Cyber Saturday. Athena blames Beth Phoenix, who eliminated her from the triple threat bout, and with neither coming away with the title that night, they were pit against each other for Halloween Havoc. Athena is hungry for a title rematch as soon as possible but Beth looks to be a major obstacle in her path.

PRESTORY: At Cyber Saturday, fans voted for Sara Del Rey to face the returning Gail Kim. The match was a spectacular one and in the end Del Rey came out with the impressive victory, her second at Cyber Saturday events.

Jarrett was victorious in a brutal I Quit match against Big Bubba while Pillman picked up the win in a showstealing Texas Death match against Barry Windham.

After the bout, Pillman vowed to put together a team to face the Horsemen at Survival of the Sickest!

Unfortunately for him, the chair would be his downfall as Jarrett was able to regain the advantage and hit the Stroke onto the steel chair before applying his submission to force Bubba to pass out. Jarrett gloated about his victory all the way to the back with his hands held high.


PRESTORY: The rivalry among these two sets of four has been raging all year in various ways.

AFTERSTORY: An excellent match saw Sara Del Rey pull off another victory in the end. One could argue that Gail returned too soon from injury to perform on this big event but she definitely put forth all possible effort. A very close match as Del Rey now goes 2-0 at Cyber Saturday events and both were some of the best matches of their respective years. After the match in a backstage interview, Jessie McKay made it clear that she wants another match with Sara Del Rey after the ending to their last encounter.That match will take place next week at Halloween Havoc!


PRESTORY: Every year at Cyber Saturday, fans choose one match between anyone to take place as that year's ultimate dream match.

Belle & Jazz will get their rematch at Halloween Havoc while former champs Jamilia Craft & Claudia will face runner-ups the Jumping Bomb Angels in a top contenders bout.


PRESTORY: Like several of the other champions, The Midnight Express have had a dominant year.

PRESTORY: Tensions rose when Brian Pillman returned from a few months off to save Big Bubba Rogers from a Horsemen attack. It all led to a tag match which in the end saw Pillman and Windham brawl to the back with officials unable to separate them.

PRESTORY: Last month at Bloodlines, several rivalries crossed over into one another. It all began when Jessie McKay upset Sara Del Rey in stunning fashion. Del Rey snapped afterwards and was looking to take out her frustrations on everything and everyone. Later in the night, Serena Deeb and Ayako Hamada went one on one in a match based on mutual respect after they had been involved in a triple threat match with Del Rey at Redemption. Hamada was victorious and after the bout, shook hands with Serena until they were ambushed from behind by Sara Del Rey. Del Rey attacked both until Jessie McKay returned to chase her off. McKay helped Hamada and Serena back to their feet as Sara retreated up the ramp. Bloodlines also saw the continuation of a months-long rivalry between Kana and Gail Kim. Kana debuted back in February with an assault on Gail. The attack has led to a series of matches that has seen Kana constantly get the better of Gail and included Bloodlines in a submissions match. After the bout had ended, Sara Del Rey returned to the ring and began beating down Gail on the mat. Kana watched on before deciding to join in on the beatdown of Gail. The attack prompted Jessie McKay, Hamada, and Serena to come back to the ring and save Gail. Del Rey and Kana left the scene while Gail was helped from the ring. The main event that night saw the women's championship on the line as Athena successfully defended her title against Madison Eagles. Following the match, Eagles left the ring and headed up the ramp where she was met by Sara Del Rey and Kana. Words were exchanged and the three ended up leaving together as a unit. Following all the events that transpired that night, it was decided that the 2012 Great American Bash would see the first ever women's War Games match! One team would consist of Gail Kim, Ayako Hamada, Serena Deeb, and Jessie McKay while their opponents, the trio of Madison Eagles, Kana, and Sara Del Rey, would be allowed to select a fourth partner to enter the steel cage. In the weeks leading up to the Bash, they revealed their fourth teammate would be the debuting Tomoka Nakagawa! The teams were set and the Great American Bash would be headlined by rivalries coming together for a very heated, explosive main event inside War Games!

In the end it was Nakagawa tying Deeb in the ropes with an octopus hold against the steel cage to put an end to the bout. The foursome left the cage as the winners as their opponents tried to recover. It is expected that these four haven't seen the last of each other as we have already learned Sara Del Rey, feeling confident, has demanded a rematch with Jessie McKay for Final Burns. The Great American Bash will be one to be remembered for sure as the show came to a close with Eagles, Kana, Del Rey, and Nakagawa with their arms raised on the stage.
