*The
show opened with a video recap of the magnificent conclusion to Eve of
Destruction where Power Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu were crowned new
tag team champions*
PRESTORY:
With the ongoing rivalry in the Junior Division between top contenders
coming out of the Survival of the Sickest match that nearly went one
hour, the two sides continued to battle. Now an almost-rematch from SOTS
would take place, only with each side having one less member for an
elimination six man tag. Austin Aries leads the Resistance of himself,
Dean Malenko, and Alex Shelley to battle against their rivals Rey
Mysterio, Sin Cara, & Billy Kidman in what promises to be another
explosive chapter!

*Malenko eliminated Mysterio (20:54) via Texas Cloverleaf submission
*Shelley eliminated Kidman (25:33) with a backslide
*Shelley eliminated Cara (25:55) with a gedo roll
AFTERSTORY:
They got the revenge they were looking for without a doubt with a clean

Resistance stood tall in the end. All six competitors will be competing
in February's Super J Cup and word has it there will be a gauntlet match
at January's Royal Battle as a preview to the J Cup.
PRESTORY:
One of the most impressive teams coming out of the women's tag team
beat the clock challenge was Annie Social and Melanie Cruise. They had
the time to beat almost all the way through before having it beat in the
end. Their impressive victory was over former tag champions Jamilia
Craft and Claudia, who were more than displeased with the defeat. Craft
and Claudia challenged Social and Cruise to a rematch for Final
Showdown..
Annie Social & Melanie Cruise def. Jamilia Craft & Claudia (21:52) when Cruise pinned Craft
AFTERSTORY:
Another loss for Craft and Claudia could not be a good thing for them.
And sure enough it wasn't long before their tempers began to flare and
an argument started. But before things could escalate further, Social
& Cruise decided to ambush their already defeated opponents from
behind. They put to the boots to the fallen Craft & Claudia until
Jessica James & Sumie Sakai ran down for the save. Those two teams
then went at it. Sakai dropkicked Melanie Cruise out of the ring and
then dove out onto her. Sakai and Cruise brawled to the back while The
Beautiful People hit the ring and attacked Jessica James from behind.
Annie Social decided to sneak away from the scene. It was a 3 on 1
beatdown as Madison Rayne hit the Raynedrop on Jessica leading to Su
Yung rushing to the ring with her partner Tracy Taylor, who debuted in
the beat the clock challenge. Madison Rayne fled the scene as the two
teams now fought with one another. When chaos finally settled this all
led directly into the next bout..
Maryse & Brittney Savage def. Su Yung & Tracy Taylor (29:14)
when Maryse pinned Yung after a Brittney used a chop block
AFTERSTORY:
After a long back and forth battle, the Beautiful People duo of Maryse
& Brittney used their tag team experience to gain the win with a
double team. Madison Rayne rejoined her cohorts on the stage to raise
their arms in celebration of their victory. The Beautiful People stand
tall after a chaotic order of events.
PRESTORY:
After his dominant victory over Kaz Hayashi at Eve of Destruction, Kurt
Angle was feeling confident and issued an open challenge. That
challenge was accepted by John Morrison, looking to make a name for
himself and the match was on..
Kurt Angle def. John Morrison (16:36) after a belly to belly suplex
AFTERSTORY:
Angle picks up another win in a great match that saw Morrison push
Angle's limits a bit. Angle and Morrison then shook hands. After the
match, Angle promised big things are ahead for him in 2013.
PRESTORY:
Two of the hottest free agent prospects signed by FPR made their debut
in the beat the clock challenge for the women's championship. Those two
were Ivelisse Velez and Arisa Nakajima, who debuted against one another.
Both stars were instantly impressive but were not able to beat the
clock, however the output delivered in the ring from both competitors
had everyone craving more. So a rematch was signed to take place at
Final Showdown.
Ivelisse Velez def. Arisa Nakajima (19:25) with a magistral rollup
AFTERSTORY:
What a match! Ivelisse picks up the major victory and looks poised to
launch herself into stardom as she moves up the ladder. Meanwhile,
Nakajima was as impressive as ever even in defeat. She'll be sure to
strive to keep herself in contention as well. It will certainly be
interesting to see both women's careers grow in FPR.
PRESTORY:
Two men that went at it in the Beat the Clock challenge were Brock
Lesnar and Triple H. That match was an all out war with weapons abound
that left a bloody Triple H in defeat. Lesnar didn't beat Triple H quick
so his time didn't last long and the clock was beaten. As a result, The
Game wanted revenge and challenged Brock to a rematch.
Brock Lesnar def. Triple H (17:46) with a powerbomb
AFTERSTORY:
Reminiscent of their first match with Lesnar's victory and plenty of
brawling around the ring. Triple H repaid Lesnar by busting him open but
it wasn't enough to keep Brock down as he was able to put the Game
away. Both men look to enter next month's Royal Battle in hopes of
earning a title shot.
International Championship Match: The Big Show def. Chris Masters
(16:23) via colossal clutch submission to RETAIN the championship!
Hardcore Deathmatch Championship Match: Abdullah the Butcher def. Necro
Butcher (9:48) with the running elbow drop to become the NEW Champion!
STORY:
Necro's reign didn't last long and Abdullah is once again back on top
of the Hardcore division. Abdullah beat the clock and then beat the
champ to win the title. The fight wouldn't end there as Abdullah and
Necro continued to brawl even after the bell had rung. They fought up
the aisle where Mick Foley came out and joined in the chaos. The three
of them brawled to the back while Raven's Flock were seen watching from
the balcony area.
Octagon Championship Match: Bob Sapp def. Kazushi Sakuraba via KO (punches) at 3:15 of round 1 to RETAIN the championship!
PRESTORY:
The rivalry between Angel Blue and Mercedes Martinez has been ongoing
for months. It all began back in September when Angel picked up a major
pinfall over Mercedes in an eight woman tag match. Mercedes wasn't happy
with that and demanded a rematch which she got at Halloween Havoc.
There, Mercedes defeated Angel in a unforgettable encounter that caught
everyone's attention. At Survival of the Sickest, Mercedes' team was
victorious but it didn't settle anything between the two captains. As a
result, Angel was now the one wanting a rematch and she got it at Eve of
Destruction. Mercedes was once again victorious but Angel was even more
impressive than their first bout, proving she could take it all and
keep coming when she kicked out of the first fisherman's buster. Now,
Angel Blue was vowing that she could and would defeat Mercedes. And so
they were set for a 2/3 falls rematch at Final Showdown!
2/3 Falls Match: Angel Blue def. Mercedes Martinez (25:28) 2 falls to 1
*Mercedes pinned Angel (14:59) after a neckbreaker
*Angel pinned Mercedes (5:49) after a lariat
*Angel pinned Mercedes (5:20) with the Deja Blue
AFTERSTORY:
This one was one of the all time great 2/3 falls match in FPR history!
The first fall was on-par with the greatness of their last two bouts and
Mercedes picked up the crucial fall but in the second fall, Angel
battled back with a vengeance and scored the pin to force the rare third
fall to take place. The two went back and forth for the final fall with
Angel nailing an out of nowhere Deja Blue for the victory she has been
after for quite some time. Angel celebrated the victory and was clearly
elated to finally beat Mercedes one on one. Mercedes knew that Angel got
her this time around and she also knew she picked up the first fall.
Angel may have earned some of Mercedes' respect but one can assume this
grudge is far from over. Angel left the ringside area with her arm
raised in victory but in obvious pain as well. We can only look forward
to what happens next between these two.
Junior Championship Match: AJ Styles def. Petey Williams (11:50) with the Styles Clash to RETAIN the championship!!
STORY:
The beat the clock for the Junior division was an intense tough one but
in the end it was Petey Williams beating the clock in the last match in
the lineup to earn the shot. Petey put up a hell of a fight but in the
end, Styles proved why he is the champion and finished off Petey with
the Styles Clash. Styles is enjoying quite the reign as he looks ahead
to the future, the Super J Cup looms in February which will decide the
challenger for WrestleMania - a tournament which AJ Styles won in 2012.
PRESTORY:
Kelly Kelly shocked the world when she took down Beth Phoenix in record
time to beat the clock and truly earn women's championship shot against
Victoria. Kelly had been vying for a shot for awhile now and she proved
she deserved it, earning it over several other top challengers. Would
this be Kelly's moment?
Women's Championship Match: Victoria def. Kelly Kelly (17:56) after a swinging neckbreaker to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY:
Unfortunately for Kelly, her dreams were crushed by the eleven time
champ. But it was not without a valiant fight. In fact, Victoria used
the ropes en route to her victory. Kelly proved to be more of a
challenge than perhaps expected and Victoria knew she'd have to pull out
all stops to keep her title. Kelly proved to be tough but it wasn't
enough to win the title this time around. Kelly will undoubtedly be
looking for another shot but for now she'll have to resume fighting the
top contenders. Meanwhile, Victoria's next title defense comes against
Queen's Cup winner Daizee Haze, who has been on a major hot streak
lately, at the Royal Battle.
PRESTORY:
At Eve of Destruction, Power Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu
accomplished their year-long goal and became the new world tag team
champions, ending the seemingly unstoppable reign of the Midnight
Express. The celebration and the crowd reaction were massive. Now it was
up to beat the clock to determine the new champs' first challengers.
Unfortunately for the Midnight Express, they were unable to do it and in
the last match of the set, it was the super team of Hulk Hogan &
John Cena that took down the Horsemen members Arn Anderson & Tully
Blanchard to beat the clock. Hogan & Cena would surely be a major
challenge for the new champs in their first defense and it all takes
place at Final Showdown!
World Tag
Team Championships Match: Hulk Hogan & John Cena def. Power Warrior
& Genichiro Tenryu (12:10) when Cena used the Attitude Adjustment on
Power Warrior to become the NEW Champions!!
AFTERSTORY:
Controversy Abound!!! Just like that we have once again crowned new tag
team champions in a shockingly quick ending to the first reign of Power
Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu. But the whole match is mired in
controversy. Towards the end of the match, the Horsemen's Arn &
Tully began making their way to the ring. But they were quickly spotted
by the challengers. Hulk & Cena went out to battle them. Meanwhile
on the opposite side of the ring, the former champs Midnight Express
hopped out of the crowd. They pulled Tenryu from the ring apron and
threw him against the guard rail, then went into the ring and leveled
Power Warrior with a steel chair and one of the tag team titles. Not
knowing what had happened, Cena returned to the ring and hit the AA on
Power Warrior to win the match and the titles! Arn & Tully were
furious that their plan had gone awry while the Midnights have seemingly
adopted the attitude that if they don't have the titles, then they'll
make sure those who beat them don't either. Granted the Midnights
would've been in line for a rematch had Power Warrior & Tenryu
retained here but maybe revenge is the only thing on their minds now.
Regardless, Warrior & Tenryu will now be getting their rematch at
the Royal Battle while Arn & Tully have challenged the Midnights to a
grudge match. It will be without a doubt an interesting night as the
chaotic tag team scene heats up.
PRESTORY:
At Eve of Destruction, Marti Belle & Jazz overcame one of their
toughest challenges to date against the Jumping Bomb Angels. But their
obstacles wouldn't end there as perhaps an even tougher challenge would
await. The lethal tandem of Madison Eagles & Kana beat the clock to
earn the tag titles shot. Eagles wants gold and Kana wants redemption
from her loss at Eve of Destruction. This match would certainly be a way
for them both to be thrilled but the champions promised to put up the
fight of their lives at Final Showdown!
Women's Tag Team Championships Match: Marti Belle & Jazz def.
Madison Eagles & Kana (24:20) when Jazz pinned Eagles after the Jazz
Stinger to RETAIN the championships!
AFTERSTORY:
The champions retained! Somehow, someway, they found a way to overcome
the vicious challengers as Jazz nailed consecutive Jazz Stingers on
Eagles to get the win. Eagles and Kana were in disbelief and enraged at
the same time. Especially Kana, who shockingly suffers back to back
defeats. Eagles & Kana have vowed to now earn another shot to try
and become champions. It's also possible that Kana's mind was still on
Eve of Destruction. Either way, they will have to earn their next shot
in a contenders match at the Royal Battle. And it's just been announced
that their opponents will be the team of Serena Deeb and Jessie McKay!
That will be a match with a ton of heat going into it and it will be a
must see battle!
PRESTORY:
The Horsemen managed to beat the clock. Jeff Jarrett was able to earn a
shot at the world title with a questionable ten minute victory over
rival Big Bubba Rogers. The Horsemen used their tactics to ensure
victory. They interfered in a couple of the other beat the clock matches
to make sure things stayed the same. Not to mention perhaps their
biggest obstacle was Bruiser Brody, who planned a return after a years
long absence, but they jumped him in the parking lot to take him out of
the equation. Jarrett's win granted the Horsemen what they had been
after, a shot at one of the championships and it just so happened to be
the top prize. A championship held by Stone Cold Steve Austin, who has
been seriously unbeatable as he celebrates one full year as champion and
is poised to hold the longest reign in championship history very soon..
Worlds Heavyweight Championship Match: Stone Cold Steve Austin def. Jeff Jarrett (13:48) to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY:
It bears repeating, Stone Cold Steve Austin is unbeatable. Jarrett gave
it his all and hit the Stroke twice but it wasn't enough. Jarrett was
stunnered and that was that for his championship aspirations. With
Jarrett down and Austin standing tall, the rest of the Horsemen
surrounded the ring. Out came new tag champions Hulk Hogan & John
Cena to brawl to the back with Arn & Tully, leaving Flair &
Windham at ringside. Then suddenly "Rocket" hit in the arena and out
came Brian Pillman! Pillman nailed Windham with his Money in the Bank
briefcase as Flair took off through the crowd. Pillman entered the ring
and squared off with Austin before announcing he was going to do what
the Horsemen could not do - defeat Stone Cold! Pillman declared he was
cashing in his money in the bank title shot right now!
Worlds Heavyweight Championship Match: Stone Cold Steve Austin def. Brian Pillman (11:43) to RETAIN the championship!
AFTERSTORY:
He can't be beat! After a war that left both men bloody, Ric Flair
returned from the crowd and Windham regrouped at ringside to cause a
distraction. That was all it took for Austin to nail the Stunner and end
Pillman's dream that he had waited for all year long. Stone Cold has
been champion for over 365 days and will be the longest reigning World
champion in company history come Royal Battle. Pillman has announced his
entry into the Royal Battle in hopes of winning another shot at Mania
after he came so close here. Last WrestleMania was a banner night for
Pillman winning two huge matches in one night and he hopes to duplicate
that success. On the other hand, Flair has elected Windham to be the
Horsemen representative in the Royal Battle with the rest of the
participants to be determined. It will be an intriguing event to say the
least! Final Showdown will be remembered as one of the most out of
control and chaotic events in FPR history and a wild end to a fantastic
year. 2013 will mark ten years of fire dating back to the origins as FPZ
in June of 2003 and if 2012 is any representation, it will be another
exciting year.
©Final Showdown 2012 the final event of the year.
Things continue to heat up as FPR kicks off 2013 with the Royal Battle
in late January!

It was an all time great near fall as Show was able to kickout and then go on to victory.

PRESTORY: Last month at Survival of the Sickest, we witnessed an even more vicious side of Kana. Kana brutalized her archrival Gail Kim with three kicks to the head that knocked her back out of action and then avenged her first defeat by knocking Ayako Hamada out as well. Serena Deeb, who scored the only elimination for their team in that match, vowed to stand up for her fallen friends by challenging Kana to a one on one bout. Many questioned the move with Deeb's own history when she herself was injured shortly after her debut back in mid-2011 but Serena was confident and determined. Jessie McKay would accompany Deeb to the ring for her showdown with Kana that would take place at Eve of Destruction. Serena was focused and determined while Kana was poised to maintain her mean streak for what promised to be a memorable matchup.
Serena Deeb (w/ Jessie McKay) def. Kana (12:41) after an elbow to the face
AFTERSTORY: Serena did it! Against all odds with an inspirational performance, Serena put up a valiant fight against Kana and caught everyone by surprise by defeating Kana decisively! After Kana controlled the majority of the match, Serena mounted a major comeback and just kept coming. Serena threw everything she had and eventually connected with a superplex that left Kana dazed. As Kana slowly returned to her feet, Serena drilled her with one perfectly timed elbow right to the face that dropped Kana in a heap to the mat as the final blow. Serena followed up with a cover and scored one of her biggest victories to date! Jessie McKay, who cheered Serena on from ringside all match, was quick to pull Deeb from the ring to safety and they celebrated up the ramp with their hands held high while Kana began to recover in the ring in disbelief. Kana will likely remain deadset on revenge but Serena did exactly what she set out to do and avenged the beatings dished out to Gail and Hamada. And Serena & McKay along with Gail & Hamada couldn't be happier with the victory. What a feeling!
PRESTORY: Victoria has had a great last several months as she became a record 11 time women's champion winning the title back from Chyna at Halloween Havoc. After a dominating performance at Survival of the Sickest from the champ, she would give Chyna her rematch at Eve of Destruction.
Women's Championship Match: Victoria def. Chyna (11:26) via Widow's Peak CRITICAL to RETAIN the championship!!
AFTERSTORY: The domination continues as Victoria decisively retains the gold. Now it will be up to whomever beats the clock to be the next challenger and there is a long list of challengers with everyone gunning for Victoria including upcoming debuts.
PRESTORY: Earlier tonight, Austin Aries defeated Jeff Hardy to earn the right to challenge AJ Styles for the Junior Championship in the night's semi-main event. A shot that Aries felt he was owed since losing the title in a triple threat match at Cyber Saturday. Aries was unable to get the shot at Halloween Havoc and found himself fighting it out with the division at Survival of the Sickest. Now he was determined to shoot straight back to the top. Only the champion AJ Styles stood in his way. Now the two would face off in a blockbuster contest!
Junior Championship Match: AJ Styles def. Austin Aries (15:01) after a sitdown dominator to RETAIN the championship!!
AFTERSTORY: AJ Styles hangs on to the championship! Styles proves his initial win was no fluke by putting down Aries clean in the center of the ring in a spectacular match that saw both men put it all on the line. Aries landed a 450 across the back while Styles connected the Spiral Tap only for Aries to reach the ropes. In the end Styles was able to drop Aries in the center for the win. After the match, Alex Shelley & Dean Malenko rushed the ring to spoil AJ's celebration. Shelley and Malenko put the boots to Styles after an ambush from behind. Aries got back to his feet and joined them. The trio posed with their arms raised until Sin Cara came to the ring with Rey Mysterio. Aries, Shelley, and Malenko bailed as they checked on Styles in the ring. The junior division continues to heat up as all will be vying to beat the clock to earn the next shot at AJ's championship.
PRESTORY: The Guerrero Cup tag team tournament culminated with Power Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu emerging the victors. Their whirlwind year had found them at another shot at the tag team championships held by the Midnight Express. It would be their third shot after their first came from winning the Real World Tag League back in May and a rematch earned in September. The Midnights bested them twice and continued their dominant reign while it looked like P-Warrior & Tenryu's quest had finished. However now at the end of the year, they've battled back through everything for one more shot! The Midnight Express would have to prepare for another enormous challenge while the challengers geared up for a make or break situation. It all came down to this, a blockbuster tag team title defense in the main event of Eve of Destruction!
World Tag Team Championships Match: Power Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu def. The Midnight Express (17:42) when Power Warrior pinned Eaton after a lariat to become the NEW CHAMPIONS!!!
AFTERSTORY: What a way to cap off their year! Power Warrior & Genichiro Tenryu finally did what they had been unable to do and that was defeat the Midnight Express to capture the FPR World Tag Team Championships. They had defeated practically everyone imaginable after coming out on top in a 64 team league and now a 32 team tournament that there is no doubt they earned and deserved this moment. After a close back and forth fight, it was Power Warrior's lariat that knocked Bobby Eaton silly and put him down for the count. The crowd erupted in cheers for the new champions. They couldn't ask for a better last two months after Power Warrior's unforgettable Survival of the Sickest comeback, the tag tournament win and now capturing the gold. After the match, the Road Warriors and others hit the ring to join the celebration, holding up the new champions who proudly raised their newly-won championships. The Midnights were out of it on the outside and now the first challengers will be determined via beat the clock for Final Showdown. Pyros exploded for the celebration of the new champions with the closing shot of Power Warrior & Tenryu posing with the gold. Hellraiser!
©FPR Eve of Destruction 2012. FPR's next event will be Final Showdown this coming weekend and will feature all championships on the line as Beat the Clock challenges in the next few days will determine the challengers! Final Showdown will close out the year as FPR heads into 2013 marking 10 years since it all began as FPZ. Final Showdown will promise to be a major way to finish the year as always!

PRESTORY: Last month at Survival of the Sickest, we witnessed an even more vicious side of Kana. Kana brutalized her archrival Gail Kim with three kicks to the head that knocked her back out of action and then avenged her first defeat by knocking Ayako Hamada out as well. Serena Deeb, who scored the only elimination for their team in that match, vowed to stand up for her fallen friends by challenging Kana to a one on one bout. Many questioned the move with Deeb's own history when she herself was injured shortly after her debut back in mid-2011 but Serena was confident and determined. Jessie McKay would accompany Deeb to the ring for her showdown with Kana that would take place at Eve of Destruction. Serena was focused and determined while Kana was poised to maintain her mean streak for what promised to be a memorable matchup.

AFTERSTORY: Serena did it! Against all odds with an inspirational performance, Serena put up a valiant fight against Kana and caught everyone by surprise by defeating Kana decisively! After Kana controlled the majority of the match, Serena mounted a major comeback and just kept coming. Serena threw everything she had and eventually connected with a superplex that left Kana dazed. As Kana slowly returned to her feet, Serena drilled her with one perfectly timed elbow right to the face that dropped Kana in a heap to the mat as the final blow. Serena followed up with a cover and scored one of her biggest victories to date! Jessie McKay, who cheered Serena on from ringside all match, was quick to pull Deeb from the ring to safety and they celebrated up the ramp with their hands held high while Kana began to recover in the ring in disbelief. Kana will likely remain deadset on revenge but Serena did exactly what she set out to do and avenged the beatings dished out to Gail and Hamada. And Serena & McKay along with Gail & Hamada couldn't be happier with the victory. What a feeling!

Aries got back to his feet and joined them. The trio posed with their arms raised until Sin Cara came to the ring with Rey Mysterio.

After a close back and forth fight, it was Power Warrior's lariat that knocked Bobby Eaton silly and put him down for the count. The crowd erupted in cheers for the new champions. They couldn't ask for a better last two months after Power Warrior's unforgettable Survival of the Sickest comeback, the tag tournament win and now capturing the gold.

But it all came together when Rain was down 4 vs 1 and Misaki Ohata attempted to quickly eliminate her only for Rain to kick out at 1! Rain was still completely fresh while all her opponents were worn down. Rain used it to her advantage and eliminated each one in one hell of a performance. Rain's partners were shocked but glad to get the victory. Rain left on her own with a smile, knowing her performance will skyrocket her up the women's rankings.

Foley's team got the win and quickly left the scene. Foley defends the title against Necro at Eve of Destruction next month.
PRESTORY: Tensions mounted between enemies turned partners Jamilia Craft and Claudia after another loss last month at Halloween Havoc. The two were able to leave the arena that night without coming to blows but over the weeks that followed, the two continued to exchange words that caused arguments. The two agreed to settle their problems in the ring and agreed that once they got rid of their frustrations, they could refocus on their tag team relationship. Claudia had said she just had to know to make sure Craft still had it and called it a sort of test. The two would meet in a special attraction grudge match at Survival of the Sickest.
Jamilia Craft def. Claudia (11:04) after two consecutive belly to belly suplexes

PRESTORY: The Big Show brings in his stablemates from the Faithful to do Survival of the Sickest battle against the opposition. The opposing team would be an intriguing one that would pit Randy Orton in the middle of the MUTA Alliance. Last month at Halloween Havoc, Sting laid out the Big Show following his match with Orton and it seemed that Orton gained Sting's respect at Cyber Saturday. It led to Sting gathering up longtime partner Kabuki and a little bit more reluctant Great Muta to form their team alongside Orton for what promised to be an interesting battle.

TBP demanded a match with Jessica, Su Yung, and Sumie Sakai that will take place at Eve of Destruction.
PRESTORY: With Junior Champion AJ Styles not scheduled for action on this night, he issued an open challenge for anyone to come out and face him..
Special Challenge Match: Jeff Hardy def. AJ Styles (14:52) with a backslide

It's definitely a huge statement made as they look towards another shot at the titles in the future. With the tournament and beat the clock on the horizon, they'll have multiple ways to earn a shot but this win here could provide them a shot in early 2013 should the Midnights hang on through the end of the year.
PRESTORY: Halloween Havoc saw Rey Mysterio pull out an upset victory in a fatal four way bout. His opponents weren't happy and took umbrage with Rey's victory.

Pillman chose Hogan knowing his history with the Horsemen while Hogan himself suggested Cena, saying he saw a spark in him in their match at Cyber Saturday. Cena's no stranger to the Horsemen himself, having led a team to victory over them a year ago in the main event of Survival of the Sickest.

PRESTORY: One of the most anticipated bouts of the evening along with the Horsemen's battle, was the rematch from the Great American Bash's War Games taking place under elimination rules. The match was considered a real main event of the show as the two teams of four that have been going at it all year prepared for battle once more. Kana, Madison Eagles, Sara Del Rey, and Tomoka Nakagawa vs Gail Kim, Ayako Hamada, Serena Deeb, & Jessie McKay would happen at Survival of the Sickest!

Kana did both those things with vicious head kicks that knocked Gail and Hamada right out. Serena Deeb was able to get one huge elimination in on Eagles before also falling to Kana followed by McKay. The end result was Kana, Del Rey, Nakagawa, and Eagles leaving as the winners, much like they left War Games. Unhappy about the way Gail and Hamada went down, Serena has made the brave decision to challenge Kana to a singles match at Eve of Destruction.
PRESTORY: Despite two decisive victories for Stone Cold, CM Punk continued to claim that he could defeat Austin. Punk declared he would lead a team at Survival of the Sickest against an Austin-led team where if Punk's team won then he would get one more shot at the world title. Punk chose Sid and Chris Jericho for his team, two men that have history with Austin, especially Jericho. Punk promised a mystery final partner that he ended up revealing as Brock Lesnar. Austin's team would consist of himself and three former FPR World Champions - Triple H, the Rock, and the Undertaker. A lot on the line in the Survival of the Sickest finale!

But it all came together when Rain was down 4 vs 1 and Misaki Ohata attempted to quickly eliminate her only for Rain to kick out at 1! Rain was still completely fresh while all her opponents were worn down. Rain used it to her advantage and eliminated each one in one hell of a performance. Rain's partners were shocked but glad to get the victory. Rain left on her own with a smile, knowing her performance will skyrocket her up the women's rankings.
PRESTORY: Hardcore Deathmatch champ Mick Foley teams up with #1 contender Necro Butcher, former champ Abdullah the Butcher, and Foley's sometimes partner, sometimes enemy Terry Funk.

In the end, the audience was getting behind Kanemura trying to will him into an upset as he continued to battle but in the end, he fell to a low blow. Foley's team got the win and quickly left the scene. Foley defends the title against Necro at Eve of Destruction next month.
PRESTORY: Tensions mounted between enemies turned partners Jamilia Craft and Claudia after another loss last month at Halloween Havoc. The two were able to leave the arena that night without coming to blows but over the weeks that followed, the two continued to exchange words that caused arguments. The two agreed to settle their problems in the ring and agreed that once they got rid of their frustrations, they could refocus on their tag team relationship. Claudia had said she just had to know to make sure Craft still had it and called it a sort of test. The two would meet in a special attraction grudge match at Survival of the Sickest.
Jamilia Craft def. Claudia (11:04) after two consecutive belly to belly suplexes
AFTERSTORY: Craft got the big win to prove herself to Claudia. As soon as the match was over, Craft helped Claudia to her feet and they embraced. They raised each other's arms to an ovation from the crowd. The two shook hands as Claudia again said to Craft that she just had to know. So it looks like whatever problems that rose between the two have been settled as they agreed to resume their tag team as they left.

PRESTORY: The Big Show brings in his stablemates from the Faithful to do Survival of the Sickest battle against the opposition. The opposing team would be an intriguing one that would pit Randy Orton in the middle of the MUTA Alliance. Last month at Halloween Havoc, Sting laid out the Big Show following his match with Orton and it seemed that Orton gained Sting's respect at Cyber Saturday. It led to Sting gathering up longtime partner Kabuki and a little bit more reluctant Great Muta to form their team alongside Orton for what promised to be an interesting battle.

TBP demanded a match with Jessica, Su Yung, and Sumie Sakai that will take place at Eve of Destruction.
PRESTORY: With Junior Champion AJ Styles not scheduled for action on this night, he issued an open challenge for anyone to come out and face him..
Special Challenge Match: Jeff Hardy def. AJ Styles (14:52) with a backslide

It's definitely a huge statement made as they look towards another shot at the titles in the future. With the tournament and beat the clock on the horizon, they'll have multiple ways to earn a shot but this win here could provide them a shot in early 2013 should the Midnights hang on through the end of the year.
PRESTORY: Halloween Havoc saw Rey Mysterio pull out an upset victory in a fatal four way bout. His opponents weren't happy and took umbrage with Rey's victory. Former champ Austin Aries, Christopher Daniels, and Alex Shelley all put a beating on Rey until he was saved by Billy Kidman, Sin Cara, and Prince Devitt.

Pillman chose Hogan knowing his history with the Horsemen while Hogan himself suggested Cena, saying he saw a spark in him in their match at Cyber Saturday. Cena's no stranger to the Horsemen himself, having led a team to victory over them a year ago in the main event of Survival of the Sickest.

PRESTORY: One of the most anticipated bouts of the evening along with the Horsemen's battle, was the rematch from the Great American Bash's War Games taking place under elimination rules.
