there.

line while Victoria is not one known to go away quietly.
PRESTORY:
With no clearcut Deathmatch contender, a tag team deathmatch bout was
setup between Raven and Perry Saturn against Rob Van Dam and Sabu with
the special added stipulation that whoever made the winning pinfall
would receive a shot at Abdullah the Butcher's title at the Great
American Bash!

memorable. Abdullah won that bout which led to Raven sending his entire
Flock after Abdullah. After a back and forth with Sabu, the Butcher has
managed to remain champion and now will meet Raven once again at the
Bash!

thriving women's division as both women look to move up the ladder.
Jessie McKay def. Sara Del Rey (6:50) via Boyfriend Stealer
AFTERSTORY:
Major upset! Del Rey dominated the early goings until McKay caught her
out of nowhere with the Boyfriend Stealer by surprise. The sudden impact
knocked Del Rey out long enough to secure the victory. McKay seemed a
bit surprised herself as she raised her arms in victory while the crowd
loudly cheered on. When Del Rey came to and got back to her feet, she
was clearly enraged. McKay escaped the ring as Sara attempted to go
after her. Del Rey stared on as McKay looked back at the ring while she
headed up the ramp with her arm raised and a smile on her face. Del Rey
then intimidated the referee before exiting the ring and throwing
everything she could find at ringside. Several FPR officials had to come
down to escort her to the back.
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. Normally the battle royal victory would seem to warrant a title
shot but with Cena just receiving a title shot so recently and due to
the close finish between Cena and the Rock as the final two of the
Redemption battle royal, a match was created between Cena and Rock to
determine the number one contender with the winner going on to get their
championship shot at Bloodlines!
John Cena def. The Rock (12:02) after the Attitude Adjustment
AFTERSTORY:
Cena emerges victorious once again! Cena will now go on to get one more
title shot against Stone Cold. With this being likely Cena's last shot,
a stipulation was added that the match become a Last Man Standing
match!

PRESTORY:
Jamilia Craft and Claudia have worked their way back up from the bottom
after losing their title shot at WrestleMania. Craft and Claudia have

titles. Their opponents would be Maryse and Brittney Savage of the
Beautiful People who would surely prove to be a major obstacle in their
path.
Jamilia Craft & Claudia def. Maryse & Brittney Savage (27:31) when Claudia pinned Maryse with a high cross body
AFTERSTORY:
A hard fought battle for sure but Craft & Claudia come out on top
one more time! They are now officially once again the number one
contenders and will get their tag titles shot at the Great American Bash
against whomever comes out on top in the title match later tonight..

and Great Khali would be put in a steel cage to settle things once and
for all at Bloodlines!

AFTERSTORY:
Big Show puts Khali down and holds on to his championship again. Big
Show has had a stronghold on the title for a long time and much like Bob
Sapp in the Octagon, it's seeming less and less likely that someone can
keep the title away from him.
PRESTORY:
Last month Kurt Angle and Great Muta traded wins and developed quite
the rivalry. Angle pinned Muta to advance to the King of the Ring but
Muta made sure to put a stop to Angle advancing any further. They met at

Marti and Jazz prove their worth as champions with another big victory.
This means Marti and Jazz will now defend their championships against
#1 contenders Jamilia Craft and Claudia at the Great American Bash! Rain
and Lexxus did not take kindly to their loss and ended up arguing among
each other about it. It seemed to be a case of both blaming the other
and these two's problems may end up exploding in the ring.
Worlds Heavyweight Championship Last Man Standing Match: Stone Cold
Steve Austin def. John Cena (15:09) to RETAIN the championship!
STORY:
Cena came closer than he ever has to defeating Stone Cold but it was
not to be. Austin's next defense will be against whoever comes out on
top of the massive Road 2 GAB tournament upcoming on the Summer
Spectacular Tour.

Last month Ayako Hamada emerged victorious from a triple threat bout
over Sara Del Rey and Serena Deeb. Hamada scored the pin on Sara and

where they agreed to face each other in a one on one bout of mutual
respect! The match was signed and set for Bloodlines
Ayako Hamada def. Serena Deeb (13:58) with the spinning powerbomb
AFTERSTORY:
An absolutely thrilling bout that saw Serena come at Hamada with
everything she had and come close numerous times to getting the win but
in the end, Hamada was able to put Serena down for the three count. The
crowd applauded both women as the match came to an end. After it was
over, Hamada helped Serena to her feet and they shook hands and raised
one another's arm in the air. As they stood together, Sara Del Rey
suddenly returned to the ring behind them and attacked both women. Del
Rey knocked both to the mat and continued her attack until Jessie McKay
came running to the ring for the save! Del Rey bailed from the ring as
McKay helped Serena and Hamada to their feet as they kept their eyes on
Del Rey leaving the scene.
PRESTORY:
The supreme combination of Power Warrior and Genichiro Tenryu proved to
be a dominant one as they steamrolled through the competition of the
Real World Tag League en route to victory. An impressive feat as they
won three matches in one night at Redemption to claim the trophy prize
as well as the number one contenders spot earning them the Bloodlines
tag championship shot against the Midnight Express. Meanwhile, the
Midnights finally put an end to their long running feud with Julian
Caesaro and Jiggle-O James Johnson only to know that they would next be
facing potential impending doom against Tenryu and the Power Warrior.
Only time would tell as the match was set in stone for Bloodlines!
World Tag Team Championships Match: The Midnight Express def. Power
Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu (29:46) when Lane pinned Power Warrior to
RETAIN the championships!
AFTERSTORY:
Believe it or not, the Midnight Express somehow managed to retain the
tag team championships! An unbelievable battle between two top teams
that could've gone either way at any point. Power Warrior and Tenryu hit
the Midnights with everything but couldn't put them away. The Midnights
used their tag team experience edge to their advantage to end up with
the victory. The Midnights victory clearly stunned the audience who were
on the edge of their seat expecting a title change. Tenryu and Power
Warrior will be vying for another title shot but it could be hard to
come by as they would have to earn it at the Summer Spectacular tour.
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. Kana felt she has already proven to
be superior so in order to accept the challenge, Kana requested it be
made a submissions match which Gail agreed to. So the third chapter
would be settled between these two with victory coming by way of
submission!
Submissions Match: Kana def. Gail Kim (17:23) via Octopus Hold submission
AFTERSTORY:
Gail almost survived but Kana just proved to have too many weapons in
her arsenal of submissions. 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. Last month at Redemption, Devitt retained

Ultimo's performance garnered him another shot at Devitt's championship
which would be held at Bloodlines under 2/3 falls rules!

Devitt's End continues to spell the end for Ultimo and now Devitt will
move on to his next title challenger. At the Great American Bash, Devitt
will defend against the only man to defeat him in FPR thus far, a
rematch from the Super J Cup finals, as Devitt takes on AJ Styles!
PRESTORY:
Athena's rise to the top has been a year long wild ride and last month
she reached the mountain top when she upset Madison Eagles to become the
new FPR Women's Champion for the first time. Eagles was enraged that

possible. That rematch would come in the main event of FPR Bloodlines!
It would be a big stage for a big match where it's all on the line!
Women's Championship Match: Athena def. Madison Eagles (17:12) with a small package to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY:
Just when it looked like Eagles was going to regain control, Athena
caught her by surprise and pulled off another victory in another classic
bout! Eagles rolled out of the ring and sat ringside with holding her
head in disbelief. Athena celebrated her victory with her championship
in the ring. Eagles went up the ramp where she was met at the stage by
Sara Del Rey and Kana. They briefly exchanged words as the trio then
went to the back together. Meanwhile in the ring, Athena continued her
celebration until suddenly Madison Rayne slid in from behind and
assaulted the champion! The Beautiful People leader had not been seen
since WrestleMania and she apparently wanted to return with the biggest
possible impact by targetting the champ. She hit Athena with the
Raynedrop and then held up the women's championship as the show came to
an end.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Finally, Madison caught Gail with a surprise backslide which has garnered her many wins in the past, to retain her championship in her first defense. The match certainly lived up to the hype. Similar to last month, wrestlers were on stage to watch throughout the course of the match.

When Gail got back up, she turned around only to be blasted by a kick out of nowhere from the debuting Kana! Kana had rushed past the crowd on the stage and into the ring, immediately targetting Gail Kim. Officials were quick to the scene to restrain Kana and tend to Gail.

Jericho was not going to take the loss lightly and viciously beat down Funk following. After the show, Jericho challenged Funk to a match that would end up signed for Valentine's Massacre.

The WrestleMania match promises to be one to remember!
PRESTORY: At the Royal Battle, Jiggle-O James Johnson & Julian Caesaro came up short in their second shot at the tag team titles against the Midnight Express. However after the match ended, the challengers fell to a shocking beatdown from The Fantastics. The Fantastics let their frustrations get the better of them in the brutal assault. In a post-show interview, they revealed that they felt their actions were justified. FPR Managment responded by signing the two teams in a tag team bout with no holds barred for Valentine's Massacre! These two teams would no doubt be out for nothing but a fight as they battle for tag team superiority!
No Holds Barred Tag Team Match: Jiggle-O James Johnson & Julian Caesaro def. The Fantastics (35:12) when Johnson pinned Rogers with a Tiger Driver

One can only assume that with this win, Caesaro & Johnson will get one final shot at the tag team champions The Midnight Express!
PRESTORY: After finally overcoming Beth Phoenix & Natalya for the time being, the Canadian Ninjas were set but they're not ones to shy away from a challenge and agreed to put their championships on the line against whoever wanted a shot at the titles.

AFTERSTORY: Shocking upset! Luck was on the side of the challengers as youth overcame experience when new champions were crowned! It was a hard-fought back and forth battle that saw the Ninjas come close to retaining several times but the challengers kept coming. In the end it was Rain battling back and stretching Nicole Matthews in a plethora of submissions before gaining the submission win and the titles. This no doubt throws a wrench in the Ninjas' WrestleMania plans as Claudia & Jamilia Craft are next in line for a title shot while Rain & Lexxus are riding high on their new found momentum and success!
A planned rematch between Mr. Hughes and Kane was not to be as Hughes had assaulted Kane in the backstage area! With Kane left laying, Hughes headed to the ring on his own and called out the Undertaker. Hughes blamed his losses to Kane on Taker's mind games and said he knew Undertaker was back somewhere. Eventually, the lights went out and Taker's voice was heard. Taker warned Hughes to be careful what he wished for as he would see him at WrestleMania for a Casket Match!

PRESTORY: Up first in the Valentine's Massacre Triple Main Event would be the finals of the 2012 Super J Cup! On one side, it was one of the most impressive debuts in recent memory as Prince Devitt tore through his side of the bracket. Negotiations began last October following the massive fanfare he received in Cyber Saturday votes despite not making the ballot. Devitt was signed and debuted in the Super J Cup going all the way to the finals. Devitt's road included amazing victories over both Dean Malenko and Austin Aries. On the other side of the bracket it was AJ Styles making a huge statement en route to the finals.

PRESTORY: It was a big-time feel last month when Madison Eagles defeated Gail Kim to capture the women's championship for the first time. Gail's reign was short but memorable and now Eagles look to begin her reign of dominance. Gail would get her rematch at Valentine's Massacre and this time she would be more prepared. The rematch would have even higher stakes as the winner would head into WrestleMania 7 as the FPR Women's Champion! Only one could walk out as winner and champion, it was time for the rematch, Gail Kim vs Madison Eagles 2!
Women's Championship Match: Madison Eagles def. Gail Kim (17:46) with a backslide to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY: A surefire match of the year candidate as this match had the whole crowd on the edge of their seats! Near fall after near fall, the match could have easily gone either way. Gail was in control early and seemed to have Madison very well scouted. After a spill to the outside, Eagles managed to gain the advantage but Gail kept on coming and refused to stay down. Finally, Madison caught Gail with a surprise backslide which has garnered her many wins in the past, to retain her championship in her first defense. The match certainly lived up to the hype. Similar to last month, wrestlers were on stage to watch throughout the course of the match. After the match ended, Madison Eagles celebrated with her championship while Gail recovered and returned to her feet. When Gail got back up, she turned around only to be blasted by a kick out of nowhere from the debuting Kana! Kana had rushed past the crowd on the stage and into the ring, immediately targetting Gail Kim. Officials were quick to the scene to restrain Kana and tend to Gail. The surprise attack sent shockwaves through the arena as Kana was escorted away and wrestlers helped Gail from the ring. Amidst the chaos, Madison Eagles stood tall in the ring as champion. Eagles got the mic and declared that she had beaten everyone on her way to becoming champion. Eagles bragged about becoming the best until she was interupted by her old rival, Candice Michelle! Candice had not been seen since Eagles defeated her at last year's WrestleMania and now she made an unexpected return to confront the woman who put her out. Candice made it clear that she returned to take Eagles down and reclaim the championship she once proudly held. The two went face to face before Eagles backed up and declared the only way Candice would get a shot at her title is if she puts her career on the line this time! Eagles thought she ended Candice a year ago but now wants to make sure she finishes the job. Candice agreed to the stipulation and the match is set for WrestleMania 7!
PRESTORY: Terry Funk came out on top at the Royal Battle last month to win the WrestleMania title shot. In the end of the match, it was Funk overcoming Chris Jericho to get the win. Jericho thought he would finally cement his October comeback by winning the match and going on to face his nemesis Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 7. Jericho was not going to take the loss lightly and viciously beat down Funk following. After the show, Jericho challenged Funk to a match that would end up signed for Valentine's Massacre. If Jericho could beat Funk, he'd be added to the 'Mania title match!
Terry Funk def. Chris Jericho (21:09) after the Texas Jab
AFTERSTORY: Jericho could not overcome Terry Funk! Funk gave his all and put Jericho away after a long hard fought battle. Funk will be heading to WrestleMania to face Stone Cold while Jericho will have to find his own way to Mania. WrestleMania 7: Funk vs Austin!

Despite a seeming 3 count from a Johnson german suplex, Bobby Eaton covered in blood, and near fall after near fall, Eaton used a desperation submission to win the match in the end. After the bout it was the challengers standing tall in the ring as the crowd cheered them on while the champions retreated with Lane helping his bloody partner crawl up the ramp. As Caesaro & Johnson remained in ring motioning for the titles, they were suddenly attacked from behind by The Fantastics! The Fantastics beat down Johnson & Caesaro in the ring and left them laying. Cameras caught up with The Fantastics backstage afterwards as they explained their belief that Johnson & Caesaro took advantage of Tommy Rogers' injured ribs in their match at the Royal Battle and they were only extracting their revenge. As a result, these two teams will meet again at Valentine's Massacre.
PRESTORY: Part 1 of the double main event! Madison Eagles went straight to the top in the Queen's Cup tournament back in September, guaranteeing her a future shot at the Women's Championship. Since then, Eagles has continued to come out on top against opponent after opponent, solidifying her status as top contender. Taking place at the same time was the rise of Gail Kim. Gail was the last entry into Cyber Saturday's FYF Women's Battle Royal and ended up winning the whole thing for her second time. Gail would wait two months to get her title shot but when she did, she made sure it counted. Gail challenged Victoria in an epic lumberjill match that main evented FPR Eve of Destruction. Gail won a wild rollercoaster of a match and captured the championship. The following week, Victoria went above and beyond to ensure that she got her title rematch by beating the clock. They met again at Final Showdown and Gail was once again victorious. Gail proved her worth as champion and now she faces an enormous challenge in the seemingly unstoppable Madison Eagles. This match is highly anticipated and headlines the night alongside the Royal Battle!

Eagles was able to drop Gail with her patented Hellbound finisher to gain the women's championship. Madison's victory certainly shakes up the division with many vying for a shot. Gail will be first in line for a rematch at Valentine's Massacre.
PRESTORY: One match will see eight men do battle. The winner will go on to headline WrestleMania 7 to challenge for the FPR Worlds Heavyweight Championship. The eight participants will include: Former 3 Time FPR World Champion, Terry Funk. Funk battled back from an injury and has been on fire ever since, this could be his chance to skyrocket back to the top. Former FPR Champion, The Great Muta. Muta returned from a 2 month absence recently and looked rejuvenated with a fire in his eyes. Muta has shown in the past that he will do whatever it takes to capture the championship again. Former 3 Time FPR Champion, John Cena. Cena had a great reign before it came to an abrupt end last month and he looks to earn his way back to the top. Cena has the experience on his side as he is a two time winner of the Royal Battle including winning the last one in 2011. Chris Jericho, who returned to FPR only a few months ago. Jericho surprised many with his clean victory over Hulk Hogan at Final Showdown. Austin winning the title has fueled Jericho's motivation more than ever. FPR newcomer, Wade Barrett has signed a contract and will make his debut in the Royal Battle, what better way to make an impact upon debut than winning this one. Two more former champions in Triple H and The Rock who have both been battling to return to the top of FPR. Lastly, the final entry will be the Immortal Hulk Hogan! Hogan is an 8 time former champion and has history with Stone Cold, he came close to winning last year. Could 2012 be the year of the Hulkster the way that 2009 was? The seventh annual Royal Battle promises to be an exciting one with so many possibilities, the outcome is unpredictable. One man will go on to WrestleMania 7!

Jericho did not take kindly to having his shot taken away and immediately assaulted Funk after the match. Jericho wanted nothing more than to get revenge on Stone Cold for their long history but his chance was denied. Jericho beat down Funk in the ring as Randy Orton and Bob Orton Jr. came to the ring to join Jericho. Their beatdown continued until Stone Cold Steve Austin arrived with a steel chair in hand causing them to bail from the ring. Jericho, Randy, and Bob retreated up the ramp and we're certain the last chapter has not been spoken here.

PRESTORY: The feud between the Canadian Ninjas and the Divas of Doom has been a wild one. They've gone through tag matches, bunkhouse rules matches and most recently a 2/3 falls match. Whether or not another match would be signed was a subject of debate considering the Ninjas won 2 straight falls but it was ultimately decided that these two teams were not quite done with one another. And so the decision was made to put the two teams inside of a 15 foot high steel cage! If Beth and Natalya win, one last match will be required before WrestleMania 7 but if the Ninjas win, they could finally consider themselves done with their bitter rivals.

After the bout it was the challengers standing tall in the ring as the crowd cheered them on while the champions retreated with Lane helping his bloody partner crawl up the ramp. As Caesaro & Johnson remained in ring motioning for the titles, they were suddenly attacked from behind by The Fantastics! The Fantastics beat down Johnson & Caesaro in the ring and left them laying. Cameras caught up with The Fantastics backstage afterwards as they explained their belief that Johnson & Caesaro took advantage of Tommy Rogers' injured ribs in their match at the Royal Battle and they were only extracting their revenge. As a result, these two teams will meet again at Valentine's Massacre.
PRESTORY: Part 1 of the double main event! Madison Eagles went straight to the top in the Queen's Cup tournament back in September, guaranteeing her a future shot at the Women's Championship.

Gail was the last entry into Cyber Saturday's FYF Women's Battle Royal and ended up winning the whole thing for her second time. Gail would wait two months to get her title shot but when she did, she made sure it counted. Gail challenged Victoria in an epic lumberjill match that main evented FPR Eve of Destruction. Gail won a wild rollercoaster of a match and captured the championship. The following week, Victoria went above and beyond to ensure that she got her title rematch by beating the clock. They met again at Final Showdown and Gail was once again victorious. Gail proved her worth as champion and now she faces an enormous challenge in the seemingly unstoppable Madison Eagles. This match is highly anticipated and headlines the night alongside the Royal Battle!

Former 3 Time FPR Champion, John Cena. Cena had a great reign before it came to an abrupt end last month and he looks to earn his way back to the top. Cena has the experience on his side as he is a two time winner of the Royal Battle including winning the last one in 2011. Chris Jericho, who returned to FPR only a few months ago. Jericho surprised many with his clean victory over Hulk Hogan at Final Showdown. Austin winning the title has fueled Jericho's motivation more than ever. FPR newcomer, Wade Barrett has signed a contract and will make his debut in the Royal Battle, what better way to make an impact upon debut than winning this one. Two more former champions in Triple H and The Rock who have both been battling to return to the top of FPR. Lastly, the final entry will be the Immortal Hulk Hogan!
