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

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

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.

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!

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:

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.

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

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!

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.

Devitt will now go on to defend his title against Austin Aries at Final Burns!
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!
War Games: Madison Eagles, Kana, Sara Del Rey, & Tomoka Nakagawa def. Gail Kim, Ayako Hamada, Serena Deeb, & Jessie McKay (17:50) when Nakagawa forced Serena to submit
AFTERSTORY: What a debut for Tomoka Nakagawa inside of War Games as she forces Serena Deeb to pass out en route to her team's victory. The match was a true spectacle to behold as all eight women went at it like never before. Everyone involved gave their all to try and secure the victory. 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.

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.

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.
