Edward Findleton: Welcome to HAW and Merry Christmas! We're one week away from End of the Trail in Portland, but tonight we are in San Francisco!

THE Casey Gains: And we know people have been waiting for this day all year long, as we will see Kitty Kayleen and Mitchell Row get married tonight!

Douglas Brunswick's music came on, and he came out with Mayor Briggs, both men looking happy as they made their way to the ring.

Edward Findleton: But it looks like we're kicking the show off with the stipulation announcement!

Douglas Brunswick: In one week, I will cap off the year of the lifetime. I debuted, I won the HAW World Championship, I defeated all challengers...and next week at End of the Trail, in my hometown of Portland, I will defeat Crash MuscleGate, and show everyone why not only 2020 was the year of Douglas Brunswick, but 2021 and beyond will be too!

Mayor Briggs: And thus, we come to our stipulation. Now my mate here has decided after carefully examining every possible wrestling match, that-

The MuscleGang's theme played, and out came the group led by Crash MuscleGate as they made their way to the ring.

Mayor Briggs: Hey! Hey! You four need to leave. You lost, remember? Get!

Crash: This is between me and Douglas. Not you.

Douglas: Mayor Briggs is right. Your team lost Crash. You don't get to choose the stipulation.

Crash: You're right. I don't. But I want you to think carefully. You're talking about the year of Brunswick...I need to be honest with you. When this season of HAW is over, no one is going to call it the year of Brunswick. A lot happened this year. People tried to beat up a pregnant lady. A match happened at a carnival. Two guys nearly killed each other in a fight club. Powerful groups fell apart. Long time veterans finally achieved their goal. And I guess....the World Champion won a bunch of matches because his intelligent friend gamed the system? That's even considering people remember you.

Douglas: I don't care what people think of me. My skill speaks for itself!

Crash: Except it doesn't! You've never proven anything without Briggs!

Douglas: How about last week against your friends?

Crash: I'm talking one on one, Brunswick. That at its core was still a tag match. One on one, you're not as good as you say you are. You talked earlier this season about wanting to be the best, then prove it! You'll be in front of your family, your friends next week. The people you grew up with, constantly telling them you'll be the best wrestler in the world.

Douglas: What do you want, Crash?

Crash: I think that the stipulation should be....a one on one match. No interference, no gimmicks, just you against me.

Mayor Briggs: Mate, you don't need to listen to him!

Crash: You called me the weak link! Do you really need help to beat me? Do you doubt your ability? Or are you going to choose a “only one camera man is allowed in the ring and the camera man is Mayor Briggs in a disguise” match? Because if you choose that, I'm sure your family will be so proud of you, managing to cheat your way to victory over the terrible Crash MuscleGate.

Briggs tried to lead Brunswick over to the corner for a quick huddle, but Brunswick pushed him aside and stared down Crash.

Douglas: I know I can beat you. You talk about gimmicks? YOU are the gimmick. I am a pure wrestler. My skills are superior to yours,

Crash: Then prove it. Because I know what I've got. I've got heart. Prove your skills are better.

Douglas: ….....You're on. I'll make it official. A straight, normal one on one match.

Crash: ...I'll see you next week.

Crash threw his microphone down and left with the MuscleGang. Briggs looked unsure of everything, but Brunswick kept a serious demeanor, not taking his eyes off Crash.

Edward Findleton: And that was the last stipulation I expected! But it's official...Crash MuscleGate vs Douglas Brunswick...in a wrestling match!

THE Casey Gains: Crash got what he wanted...but I honestly think that at the end of the day, Brunswick has the advantage going in!

The Musical Lifeguard Chairs were backstage in a locker room, watching something on TV.

LaZor: Oh! This is my debut match against Death Man! I wonder what he's up to these days?

Mr. Lifeguard: I heard he's alive and well!

LaZor: Good to hear!

At that point, there was a knock on the door, and an Irish male calling that sounded just like Fergus O'Toole.

Irish Male: Pizza delivery!

LaZor: Oh cool, the pizza is here! I'll pay!

LaZor went to go get his wallet, when Mr. Lifeguard's eyes suddenly went wide. Before LaZor could open the door, Lifeguard put a hand up to block him, then whispered to Lazor.

Mr. Lifeguard: We didn't order pizza!

LaZor nodded, and the realization dawned on him. The two quietly went and grabbed two steel chairs.

LaZor: I am currently coming to the door with just my wallet to pay for the pizza I ordered right now! I sure hope it's tasty!

LaZor and Lifeguard nodded to each other, then silently counted to three. On three, they opened the door and rushed out with the chairs. Fergus O'Toole and Franco Mancini were outside, each with lead pipes. The Musical Lifeguard Chairs swung their chairs, knocking the pipes out of their hands, then proceeded to jab the Trans-Atlantic Family members in the ribs with the chairs. As Franco and Fergus fell, LaZor and Lifeguard cracked the chairs over their backs.

As the two caught their breath, a pizza delivery man walked up to them.

Delivery Man: Hey, I've got an order for an...M. Lifeguard?

Mr. Lifeguard: …...Oh yeah, we did order pizza! That's me!

Delivery Man: Just sign here please.

Lifeguard took the receipt and bent down to use Franco's back as a writing surface. The two exchanged pizza and receipts, and the the Lifeguard Chairs went back to their locker room to finish watching the match.

Mr. Lifeguard: One more week of this buddy.

LaZor: Let's enjoy it while we can!

A loud explosion rocked the arena, and out came The Behemoth and Rat. Already standing in the ring was Jack Trailor, ready for a match.

Edward Findleton: It looks like The Behemoth is getting a warm up match before his National Title shot against Kenneth Cobb!

THE Casey Gains: Jack Trailor is usually one of the bigger men in the ring, but not when he's with The Behemoth. That being said, this won't be an easy match for The Behemoth!

Before the match could start, Kenneth Cobb's music hit, and he came down to the ring and jumped on commentary.

Edward Findleton: Welcome Kenneth! You know, I used to do all the commentary by myself but it looks like HAW loves having guest commentators come down! …...You aren't trying for my job, are you?

Cobb: I'm worried about The Behemoth. If you have anyone to worry about, it's Casey.

Edward: Haha...wait, what?

THE Casey Gains: Looks like the match is starting!

Referee Tom Hunter rang the bell, and the two big men locked up. The opening moments looked more like a sumo match than a professional wrestling match, as both men tried to use their weight to out position the other. Trailor finally got an upper hand and delivered an arm drag to The Behemoth, sending him down. Trailor then put in place an Indian Death Lock prompting Rat to bang the mat to encourage The Behemoth.

Edward Findleton: It looks like Jack Trailor is trying a more technical style against The Behemoth, will you be borrowing any pages from his book?

Cobb: I need to rely on my strengths. My strength is in taking a beating. I just need to prepare for that The Behemoth throws at me.

The Behemoth slowly started to power out of the submission hold, then managed to push Jack Trailor away. As The Behemoth got up, Trailor ran towards him, but The Behemoth hit a back body drop, the ring shaking as Trailor hit the ground. The Behemoth hit a few more scoop slams on Jack Trailor, then grabbed him in powerbomb position. With a heave, The Behemoth lifted Jack Trailor, and hit the Powerbomb Shoulderbreaker. The Behemoth went for the cover, and Tom Hunter counted to three.

As Rat got in the ring to celebrate with The Behemoth, The Insomniac started to take off his headset.

Cobb: You'll think this is stupid, but I'm just getting prepared.

Cobb rolled into the ring, and went right up to The Behemoth. The two men stared each other down, neither moving an inch until Cobb appeared to say something to Behemoth. Behemoth tilted his head confused, but Cobb nodded. The Insomniac then bent his head downward. The Behemoth hesitated, but suddenly grabbed Kenneth Cobb in the powerbomb position. Cobb stayed still, not struggling at all, as The Behemoth picked him up, and hit the Powerbomb Shoulderbreaker. Cobb hit the ground, rolling on the ground in pain, but managed to give a thumbs up to The Behemoth. With that, The Behemoth left the ring with Rat.

Edward Findleton: I'm not sure what that was but...I think it worked out for Kenneth Cobb?

THE Casey Gains: We'll find out if that act helped him next week. The Insomniac vs The Behemoth!

The Biofuel Engineers came out, with Dalton Elkins looking ready for action.

Edward Findleton: This isn't the year the Biofuel Engineers envisioned, but Dalton is facing Fun Fight Machine tonight. How helpful will a win be going into next season?

THE Casey Gains: These two need to go out of this year on a high note. Defeating someone like Fun Fight Machine could be that motivation and momentum they need for next season!

Fun Fight Machine came out next, excited and energized. Referee Tom Hunter rang the bell, and the match began.

The match saw equal offense from both competitors. Dalton wrestled fairly clean, not trying to rely on any interference from Sydney Mason. While Dalton had several near fall attempts, Fun Fight Machine always managed to kick out before the three count.

After another kickout by Fun, Dalton grew visibly frustrated and started arguing with Tom Hunter. Elkins had his back turned, not realizing Fun Fight Machine was able to get to his feet. Fun kicked Dalton in the back of the head, and he fell to the mat. Fun Fight Machine climbed to the top rope, and hit a 450 Splash on Dalton Elkins. Fun Fight Machine successfully pinned Dalton and picked up the victory.

Before Fun Fight Machine could celebrate, Sydney Mason jumped in the ring and attacked Fun. Mason hit a Knee Drop Brainbuster on Fun Fight Machine, knocking him out. Mason helped Elkins to hit feet, and the two started to go back up the ramp slowly. Halfway up, James Calhoun's music hit.

James Calhoun walked past the Biofuel Engineers, not even paying attention to them, and went into the ring. Calhoun picked up the unconscious Fun Fight Machine, and delivered a Cobra Clutch Slam. He grabbed a microphone from ringside, and looked down at Fun Fight Machine.

James Calhoun: I accept your challenge for End of the Trail.

Calhoun hit Fun over the head with the microphone, and departed from the ring.

Edward Findleton: It's official! Fun Fight Machine! James Calhoun! Next week!

The inside of the ring was decorated with flowers, and a minister was standing within.

Minister: Welcome, brothers and sisters, as we celebrate the eternal union tonight of Mitchell Row and Kitty Kayleen.

Mitchell Row's music came on, and he came down to the ring, dressed in an all white tuxedo.

Mitchell: Before we go further, I believe you meant to say, HAW Women's Champion, Kitty Kayleen.

Minister: My apologies Mr. Row. Let us bring forth the bride, HAW Women's Champion, Kitty Kayleen.

Kitty came out next, wearing a black wedding dress and the Women's Championship around her waist. As she got to the ring, she held Mitchell's hand, and the two smiled at each other.

Minister: Today is a special day. In front of sold out crowd and a national television audience, we will see the strength of love that connects us all, personified in Mitchell and Kit-I mean, HAW Women's Champion, Kitty. Mitchell Row, do you take Kitty Kayleen to be your bride?

Mitchell Row: I do.

Minister: And Kitty, do you take Mitchell to be your husband?

Kitty: I do.

Minister: If there is any reason that this lovely couple should not be married, please speak now, or forever hold your peace!

Edward Findleton: Oh no....this is where things always go bad.

Everyone was looking to the ramp, expecting something to happen. But after a few moments, the Minister spoke up.

Minister: Very well. I now pronounce you husband and wife! You may kiss the bride!

Mitchell grabbed Kitty and kissed her, and confetti started falling from the ceiling.

THE Casey Gains: Beautiful! The perfect wedding!

Mitchell and Kitty smiled and waved, and started to prepare to leave the ring. Mitchell sat on the middle rope for Kitty to go through,but before she could, Freezerman's music hit. Looking confused, Mitchell and Kitty backed up to the ring. Freezerman came out with a microphone under his arm pit as he was clapping for the couple. He finally grabbed the mic.

Freezerman: Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell Row! I know your plan was to go on your honeymoon now, but before you leave HAW, I want to give you your wedding gift.

Mitchell Row: Thank you Freezerman! Can you believe that you are the only HAW employee to actually give us a gift?!

Freezerman: Unbelievable! Well I think both of you will appreciate this gift...a brand new HAW contract for each of you!

Kitty: Thank you so much! We will have our agents look it over and sign it after the honeymoon if the money is good! You're the best Freezerman!

Freezerman: I'd actually look it over before the honeymoon. You see, a few weeks ago, you encouraged HAW fans to not watch the show and...well, the board wasn't happy with that. But I went to bat for you two, and instead of having your contract expire and be deemed non-hireable and stripped of the HAW Women's Champion, I made a compromise! You will defend your championship next week at End of the Trail!

The crowd cheered as Kitty's face turned to fury, while Mitchell looked on in shock.

Freezerman: Congratulations again lovebirds! I look forward to seeing you again next week! Happy honeymoon!

Freezerman smiled and went to the back, as Kitty started to tear up the flowers and throw them around. Mitchell Row tried to calm her down but to was not successful.

Edward Findleton: And what a way to go out! HAW's final show, all titles on the line, including the Women's Championship!

THE Casey Gains: Join us next week for End of the Trail! Merry Christmas everybody!

Edward Finldeton: Welcome to HAW! We are going up the west coast to reach the End of The Trail! Tonight we're stopping in Los Angeles, California!

THE Casey Gains: The main event is Lovable Liam and Frederic St. Pierre taking on Douglas Brunswick and Mayor Briggs! But we're also getting a women's title match, Kitty Kayleen defends against Hannah Rivers!

James Calhoun's music hit, and he came out, not looking too pleased and marching to the ring with a purpose.

Edward Findleton: It looks like before that all happens, we're being joined by James Calhoun, who lost against Bad Fright Machine last week!

James Calhoun: Get out here now! Now! I demand it! You are indebted to me to come out here, to apologize, to grovel, and pray to the good lord above that I show you some form of mercy!

THE Casey Gains: I'm going to assume he's not talking to Bad Fright Machine.

James Calhoun: You were my companion wrestler! You were my ally! My friend! Fun! Please! Please come out.....please. I don't have anyone else left. Please?

After a few moments, Fun Fight Machine's music came on, and he started walking down to the ring with a mic. About midway down the ramp, he stopped, then walked back to the top entrance area.

Fun Fight Machine: What do you want?

James Calhoun: I want you to come down to this ring, meet me here, and hug it out. I want to apologize. We can go back to the way things were!

Fun Fight Machine: You only care about yourself. You used Rat and the Behemoth. And I stood by you, I was the only one to stand by you. But then, you used me. There's no going back. I am a new man.

James Calhoun: This is not the Fun Fight Machine I know. We can go so many places together, you and I! Think of the World Championships I won when you were with me! The power we had!

Fun Fight Machine: I was at the bottom of the totem pole in The Men of Power! I did nothing this season! A waste of a year! All I did was be loyal to you, help you, and you walked out on me when I needed you!

James Calhoun: And I'm sorry!

Fun Fight Machine: You're not sorry. And neither am I. Goodbye James.

Fun Fight Machine turned around and walked backstage. Calhoun grew visibly angry.

James Calhoun: ...Fine! Walk away! You're a nobody with out me! You're a coward! Go home you chicken, you'll never achieve what I have achieved!

At that point, Fun Fight Machine walked back on the stage, and Calhoun forced a smile.

James Calhoun: It's good to see you again, perhaps we can talk this out now?

Fun Fight Machine made a dash to the ring, looking more ready to fight than to talk. As Fun Fight Machine got to the ring, Calhoun dropped his mic and quickly slid out, and hopped the barrier into the crowd. Fun Fight Machine was motioning for Calhoun to come towards him, but Calhoun kept retreating throughout the audience. Fun Fight Machine picked up the fallen mic.

Fun Fight Machine: My last match of the year was supposed to be next week. But I'm thinking of one more. I challenge you to a match at End of the Trail!

Edward Findleton: I'm not sure if Calhoun will accept, but the fans like the sound of it!

THE Casey Gains: It looks like he's out of the audience now, which is good. I'm willing to bet if he said no the fans would have thrown him back to the ring!

Edward Findleton: We'll have to see what the final word is on Calhoun!

Hannah Rivers' music played, and she made her way down to the ring.

Edward Findleton: It's time for the Women's Championship match! Hannah Rivers vs Kitty Kayleen!

As Hannah was in the ring warming up, Mitchell Row's music hit, and he came out with a microphone, smiling as he entered the ring.

Mitchell Row: Let's give a round of applause for Hannah Rivers! Hannah Rivers, ladies and gentlemen! Ok, that's enough! Hannah...this is your big moment tonight, why will you beat my fiance, Kitty Kayleen?

Mitchell held the microphone up to Hannah, who looked excited to speak.

Hannah Rivers: Because I know Kitty's little secret! She's nothing but a poser! And she knows that-

Mitchell took the microphone away quickly.

Mitchell Row: Nice! We got an insult in! And what will you do if you win the championship tonight?

Hannah Rivers: That was SO rude. You took the microphone from me while I was talking. Do you like, even care what I have to say?

Mitchell Row: Not a bit, and that was your time. Thank you! Now please give it up for your HAW Women's Champion, Kitty Kayleen!

Mitchell exited the ring as Kitty Kayleen came out with the Women's Championship. Before she got in the ring, she shared a kiss with Mitchell. With each wrestler ready, referee Brenda Moses rang the bell to begin the match.

Kitty didn't seem to worried, smiling as the match began. Hannah started out trying to quickly grapple Kitty, but Kitty would back up and dodge, then retreat to the ropes. After a few failed attempts, Hannah simply walked up to Kitty and started trash talking her. Kitty was unphased by this, but out of nowhere, Hannah delivered an eye rake.

With Kitty covering her face, Hannah started to attack her, gaining momentum. Hannah hit a gutbuster on Kitty, who retreated to the far corner, as referee Brenda Moses and Mitchell Row checked on her. Hannah took the time to go to the opposite ring post, and take off the turnbuckle covering.

Edward Findleton: One thing we know about Hannah, she is not afraid to play dirty.

THE Casey Gains: I'm starting to think Kitty may have under estimated her!

As Kitty started to recover, Hannah walked over to her, grabbed her arms, and whipped her into the exposed turnbuckle. Kitty stumbled in pain, and Hannah rushed over, rolled her up, then put her feet on the ropes for leverage. At the last second, Kitty kicked out, barely keeping her title reign going.

Mitchell Row looked like he had seen enough, and slid into the ring. As Hannah stood up, Mitchell Row ran across the ring and delivered a spear to Hannah Rivers. Brenda Moses immediately called for a DQ finish, awarding Hannah Rivers the victory but not the title.

Mitchell Row went to Kitty, looking concerned and trying to help, as the crowd booed at the sudden ending to the match. Row helped Kitty out, and carried her to the back. Heading to the back, Mitchell Row could be heard screaming about how he “doesn't respect cheaters.”

THE Casey Gains: It looks like Mitchell went with a backup plan tonight.

Edward Findleton: In the end, it worked out. Kitty Kayleen remains champion heading into her wedding!

Kenneth Cobb's music played, and out came the Insomniac. He went to the ring and grabbed a microphone.

Kenneth Cobb: Alright! Wait time is over. You fans voted for my opponent, so I'm ready. I want to know who I'll face at End of the Trail! Bring him out!

Kenneth Cobb threw the microphone down, and paced around the ring, awaiting his opponent. A huge explosion rocked the arena, and out came The Behemoth, with Rat.

Edward Findleton: The Behemoth! This is without a doubt, the toughest match Kenneth Cobb will have in HAW.

THE Casey Gains: The task he has in front of him is going to be tough, but so far, no one has knocked the Insomniac out cold!

The Behemoth and Rat entered the ring. Cobb showed no fear, and stepped right up into the Behemoth's personal space, looking up at the towering figure. The two men stared each other down for a few moments, when the Behemoth took one step back. The Behemoth extended his hand out for a shake. The Insomniac looked around the arena, pondering what to do, before finally firmly grasping the Behemoth's hand.

Edward Findleton: It looks like a healthy respect for each of these two wrestlers is being shown in the ring here tonight!

The Behemoth nodded, his music started up, and he turned to leave the ring. As he got to the ropes, Cobb took a deep breath, and shook his head. He walked to The Behemoth and put an arm on his shoulder, and The Behemoth stopped and turned. Cobb held up his fist and made a “Come at me!” motion. Rat tried to talk Behemoth out of it, but The Behemoth approached Cobb, and both men started trading blows. Eventually, Behemoth landed a huge haymaker, and Cobb fell to the mat, dazed. The Behemoth didn't continue his attack, but stared down at the fallen Insomniac. Not wanting to engage in anymore fighting, The Behemoth left the ring with Rat, just as Cobb started to get to his feet.

THE Casey Gains: We got a taste of the action tonight, and I think Kenneth Cobb knows now, he can't overpower The Behemoth in this match.

Edward Findleton: Indeed! This will be a literal uphill climb!

THE Casey Gains: Figurative.

Edward Findleton: But The Behemoth is tall and...uhh...we have a video package to go to!

A video package played with some dramatic, powerful music. It started off showing the debut of LaZor in NRWL, followed by Mr. Lifeguard, as well as the first match of Franco Mancini and Fergus O'Toole in HAW, and featured voice overs from all four wrestlers.

LaZor: I've been doing this for seventeen years.

Mr. Lifeguard: I've wrestled for just under seventeen years.

Franco Mancini: Eight years I've been doing this.

Fergus O'Toole: Professionally? Eight. But Sean and I have always been fighting when we were kids.

Footage was shown of The Musical Lifeguard Chairs first teaming in NRWL, with LaZor wearing a wig.

LaZor: It didn't start out the best for us, but our friendship grew, and that made us such a good tag team.

Mr. Lifeguard: And he made such a good partner. Even when he went as El Termitas, I knew I could count on him.

Next shown was El Termitas winning the National Championship against Jet Black, and Mr. Lifeguard debuting in HAW against Miss Lifeguard.

LaZor: This is the final month of our careers, no matter what. It's so important we go out as champions. That's what this whole journey has been about really.

Mr. Lifeguard: It took longer than I expected. As a kid I always had a dream of raising the World Championship...but...honestly, when LaZor and I won the Tag Titles? Getting to share that moment with my best friend was better than any individual accomplishment.

Franco Mancini's championship victories were shown, including his NRWL victory.

Franco Mancini: Four time HAW World Champion. One Time NRWL Champion. These past ten years you won't find a wrestler who's done more than me. I've seen them all, I've beat them all.

Flashbacks to The O'Toole Brothers winning the HAW Tag Team Championships over The Chartbreakers, with Fergus getting the pin.

Fergus: That's when I knew we made it. We did everything together in this business. That's what this is about. LaZor and Lifeguard took these moments in the business away from me and my brother.

A fast cut highlight reel of all the wrestlers was shown over their careers.

LaZor: We've got the chemistry, we're going to win at End of the Trail.

Fergus: Franco has been like a brother to me during all of this. We're dedicating this match to Sean.

Mr. Lifeguard: I'm not worried. I know everyone views us as the underdog, but I know in my heart what we're capable of doing.

Franco: I'm telling you right now, I'm doing business. And at End of the Trail, it's making sure those two leave the business on their back, as the former HAW Tag Team Champions.

The package ended with one final graphic shot of all four, promoting the tag match at End of the Trail.

It was time for the main event, and Douglas Brunswick and Mayor Briggs came out first. The MuscleGang came out next, but after a quick talk, Crash and Oden stayed up at the top of the ramp while Lovable Liam and Frederic St. Pierre came down for their match.

Edward Findleton: A lot is on the line tonight! The winner of this match chooses the stipulation for the World Championship match between Crash MuscleGate and Douglas Brunswick!

The match started with Frederic St. Pierre and Douglas Brunswick. Each wrestler was showing their skill early on, getting in equal amounts of offense. As St. Pierre would start to take over, Brunswick would reverse a move and gain advantage, until St. Pierre returned the favor in a game of one upping the other competitor. Brunswick ran at St. Pierre, who lowered his head, causing Brunswick to leap frog over him. Brunswick used his momentum to hop to the top rope, while St. Pierre rolled to the opposite corner. Each wrestler turned around, and saw there was a stalemate. With that, St. Pierre tagged in Liam, and Brunswick hopped down and tagged in Briggs.

Briggs strolled into the ring and smiled, and held out a hand for Lovable Liam for a shake. Liam didn't even take a second to think and immediately clutched Brigg's hand, then grabbed his left arm. Liam lifted Briggs up and delivered a quick double underhook brainbuster. Liam wasted no time and picked up a woozy Briggs, this time hitting a samoan driver. Briggs looked completely out, and Liam picked him up a third time, this time hitting the Tiger Bomb!

Edward Findleton: Liam is man handling Mayor Briggs! This is it!

Liam went for the cover, but Brunswick broke the pin up at the last second. Mayor Briggs looked completely unconscious, and Brunswick grabbed his arm and dragged him across the ring to his corner, then tagged himself in.

THE Casey Gains: Unless Briggs can recover this may have just turned into a handicap match.

Brunswick didn't underestimate Liam, and was cautious with his approach, trying to get counter strikes in whenever Liam attacked. Brunswick looked like he was getting an advantage and wearing down Liam, but Liam made a quick tag to the fresh St. Pierre. Brunswick glanced to his corner, and Briggs was still out.

Brunswick kept his defensive strategy up, looking for an opening to get a quick hit, but the fully recovered St. Pierre wasn't allowing anything to get by. St. Pierre was able to get a few headlocks and arm bars in, wearing Brunswick down even more. Brunswick grabbed the ropes and tried to make his way to Briggs, who was just now starting to move. St. Pierre stopped Douglas, and got him in position for a suplex. However, before he could lift him, Brunswick reversed it into a small package. Referee Dennis Thompson got down for the count, and St. Pierre was unable to kick out!

As the pin broke and Brunswick's music hit, everyone looked shocked at Brunswick's victory, including Douglas himself. A smile of disbelief crept across his face, as he sat in the ring, breathing heavily and looking worn out. Brunswick went over to Briggs and started shaking him, trying to deliver the news. Meanwhile, St. Pierre sat in the ring, his head in his hands, as Liam went over to console him. At the top of the ramp, Crash and Oden both had their heads down, disappointed in the outcome.

Edward Findleton: What a match! Brunswick showed tonight why he is HAW World Champion!

Mayor Briggs: And most importantly, he's picking the stipulation for his World Championship match at End of the Trail. And with Mayor Briggs by his side, who knows what they'll come up with.

Edward Findleton: So long everyone, and we'll see you next week for more HAW!

Edward Findleton: Welcome to HAW! We're in lovely Las Vegas, and it looks like Freezerman is already in the ring ready for an announcement!

Freezerman: This is the final stretch, and we are under one month away from the season finale of HAW, End of the Trail, taking place on January 1^st, 2021 in Portland, Oregon! We already know one match that will take place, and that's The Musical Lifeguard Chairs vs Franco Mancini and Fergus O'Toole for the HAW Tag Team Championship! To add to that, Franco Mancini was cleared to compete by medical staff yesterday, so our main event tonight will be a preview of next month's show...it's Franco Mancini vs Mr. Lifeguard!

THE Casey Gains: We'll have to see if Franco has any ring rust coming back from this injury!

Freezerman: But I came out here tonight to talk about the HAW National Championship. Kenneth Cobb, please come out!

The Insomniac's music played, and Cobb came out. He kept his head mostly down and his hoodie up, and was seen rubbing his eyes a lot.

Freezerman: Kenneth, you've done a great job as National Champion. You took the opportunity I gave you and ran with it. That's what that title is all about, opportunity. I thought who should I award this next opportunity to....and I decided.....nobody!

Cobb then looked up, confused. A large grin appeared on Freezerman's face.

Freezerman: I have decided that it will be the HAW fans who award this next opportunity, with the first ever HAW Fan Vote! We have gathered six nominees and the winner will challenge Kenneth Cobb! Those six nominees are....Scarred Badger! Jack Trailor!The United States! Sentinel! El Espectro! And finally, The Behemoth! So do your part HAW fans, as voting has officially begun! And...one last thing....Kenneth, do you have any preference in who you face?

Kenneth Cobb pulled his hood back, ran his fingers through his hair, and grabbed Freezerman's microphone.

Kenneth Cobb: I'll knock them all out.

Cobb pushed the microphone back into Freezerman's chest and exited the ring, putting his hood back up.

Edward Findleton: Whoa! A fan vote! Casey, I'm looking at our social media pages and fans are already campaigning for all these wrestlers!

THE Casey Gains: As an HAW employee, I'm not allowed to publicly endorse any wrestler. But I just want everyone to know that I already voted, because who wouldn't want to see The Insomniac wrestle against-

The feed cut to a shot of the Vegas Strip, when a limo suddenly pulled up and stopped. The door opened up, and Mitchell Row in his tux exited. He held a hand into the car and helped Kitty Kayleen exit, and they turned to the camera.

Kitty Kayleen: Good evening, to all of HAW. Mitchell and myself have an announcement.

Mitchell Row: We are formally inviting all of you to attend our wedding in two weeks, live on HAW!

Kitty Kayleen: It would have been a dream wedding to get married here in Vegas, but the HAW fans were robbed of the most elaborate wedding ceremony of the century by...let's just say, upper management, who said I needed to defend my title this month! And I can't be having our honeymoon be interrupted by wrestling matches.

Mitchell Row: But archaic rules will not hold back our love for each other.

Kitty Kayleen: And the Women's Championship will be part of our ceremony, don't worry. Next week, I defend my title against a woman who.....well, she's completely unqualified. I'm not sure she's ever won a match! She's the definition of forgettable! She's....Hannah Rivers? Isn't that her name?

Mitchell Row: It is honey. And fans, if you're like us and you just care about the wedding, you can actually skip next weeks HAW. My lovely fiance will come out on top.

Kitty Kayleen: I always do!

The two kissed, and walked away, as the camera panned to show them entering a high class hotel.

James Calhoun came out next, and grabbed a microphone as he came to the ring.

James Calhoun: Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Tonight, I'd like to make...an apology.

The crowd started to boo, and Calhoun looked shocked.

Edward Findleton: I don't think anyone here believes anything Calhoun says at this point!

Calhoun: Please, just listen. I know, I know. I've made some mistakes. But my good friend, my companion, Fun Fight Machine, has not responded to any of my calls to him this week. And I understand. So Fun Fight Machine, I am truly sorry. In my moment of weakness, I've abandoned you. So I would like for you to come on out, and accept my apology!

Calhoun looked up the entrance ramp. About fifteen seconds went by, but nobody came out.

James Calhoun: That's a darn shame. Wow. Fun Fight Machine, you leave me no choice now. I need to teach you a lesson the hard way, because I know you are not man enough to come face to face with me!

Fun Fight Machine's music came on, and Calhoun's eyes went wide. He backed up in the ring, looking scared. After a few seconds, Fun Fight Machine was not the one who came out, but instead, Mimic, dressed as Fun Fight Machine and with the jumbotron labeling him as “Bad Fright Machine.” Calhoun smirked, dropping his scared act.

James Calhoun: Well it's about time you showed up Fun Fight, I mean, Bad Fright Machine! I'm goiing to teach you a lesson of tough love, in a one on one match! Let's get a referee out here!

Referee Tom Hunter ran down to the ring, and the bell rang. Bad Fright Machine tried to mimic Fun Fight Machine's offensive aerial style, climbing to the top rope but slipping off and falling on his face.

THE Casey Gains: How much do you think Calhoun is paying him for this match?

Edward Findleton: To get beat up and lose? Not enough!

As Bad Fright Machine got in a karate pose, Calhoun simply grabbed his arm, threw him down, and started stomping on Bad Fright Machine. Calhoun taunted him, telling him to get up, when suddenly unfamiliar music started playing. Calhoun turned to the entrance, and out came the real Fun Fight Machine, dressed in new attire. Calhoun was yelling up the ramp at Fun Fight Machine, when Bad Fright Machine suddenly rolled up James Calhoun. Calhoun struggled, but Tom Hunter counted to three, and Bad Fright Machine picked up the victory as he quickly ran out of the ring!

Edward Findleton: Bad Fright Machine steals the victory!

Calhoun immediately popped up, enraged and started shaking the ropes. Fun Fight Machine simply smiled and turned around to walk backstage.

Edward Findleton: James Calhoun thought he'd teach Fun Fight Machine a lesson tonight, thought he had an easy victory...but Calhoun goes home even more upset...due to an upset!

THE Casey Gains: It appears we got our first glimpse of a new Fun Fight Machine too! I think it's far from over between these two!

The music of Douglas Brunswick hit, and he came out with Mayor Briggs, holding the HAW World Championship.

Douglas Brunswick: I did it. With all the odds against me, with my back against the wall, I slayed the giant. I am a modern day David, having defeated Goliath. I'm ready to take the next twenty seconds and bask in the standing ovation I deserve!

Brunswick closed his eyes to take it all in, but the crowd erupted in boo's.

Mayor Briggs: Hey! Hey! Show some respect for this bloke and cheer him!

This caused the crowd to boo even louder, annoying Brunswick and Briggs. Suddenly, the MuscleGang music hit, and the four members came down to the ring to cheers.

Mayor Briggs: Excuse me, this is a championship celebration, so you fellas can just run off and annoy someone else, 'aight?

Crash Musclegate: I accept the nomination!

Brunswick and Briggs looked at each other confused.

Douglas Brunswick: ….What are you talking about?

Crash Musclegate: I accept the nomination! I accept it!

Mayor Briggs: I think he's been hit in the noggin' a few too many times. Mate, that was last month. We had the match. We said you can't nominate, Oden wrestled, yada yada, remember?

Crash: You defeated Oden, yes. But I was nominated to challenge you for the HAW World Championship, and I have yet to receive my match. So I'm challenging you, Douglas, to a match at End of the Trail, in your hometown of Portland, Oregon for the HAW World Championship!

Douglas: You know what? Crash, I accept. Thank you, I wanted to end this season on a high note, because I know I can beat you! Crash...Oden is the MVP of the MuscleGang. And even he couldn't beat me.

Oden: My arm was broken!

Douglas: And with a broken arm, you're still a stronger competitor than....Crash MuscleGate. I mean, I honestly should have just fought you last week Crash, it would have been an easier match. Crash, you're the weak link of the MuscleGang. Oden is a former World Champion. St. Pierre is the longest reigning National Champion. Hell, even Liam won his rigged MuscleGang Open Challenge match. Crash....you're just....the guy who can never get it done. The almost-was. You are Crash MuscleGate, the silver medalist.

Lovable Liam: You think you're so smart Brunswick? News flash! Crash was never an Olympian, and has NO medals! Hah!

Crash: ….Well actually in high school I ran cross country and....I got a silver medal.

Lovable Liam: Oh...but does high school really count? I did a lot of things in high school I don't really bring up these days.

Crash: I mean, it really doesn't I guess but he did actually make a true statement.

Douglas: I never cared if it was true, it was supposed to be an insult to drive home the point that you can never beat me!

Crash: As World Champion Nominee, I think I can!

Douglas: Nominee...hah. Crash, you want to re-do last month? Do this whole nominee thing again? Let's do that. Let's have a match for the stipulation of our World Title match, next week. But this time.....it's myself and Mayor Briggs, against your friends, Frederic St. Pierre and Lovable Liam.

The MuscleGang looked at each other, assessing the situation.

Frederic St. Pierre: Oui.

Lovable Liam: We.....reject? Or we...accept?

Frederic St. Pierre: Oui!

Lovable: We what?! We what?!

Oden Schreiner: He's speaking French! Yes they accept! They will defeat you!

Douglas Brunswick: That's all I needed to hear. I'll see you all next week. Let's go.

Brunswick and Briggs exited the ring, leaving the MuscleGang alone to talk things over.

Edward Findleton: We have a match for next week, and we have our main event at End of the Trail almost set! Crash Musclegate vs Douglas Brunswick!

THE Casey Gains: The one thing that will matter the most though...is the stipulation. A lot will be on the line next week!

With the crowd ready for the main event, the Musical Lifeguard Chairs came out first, rocking with the Tag Team Titles. Franco came out next, his ribs taped up, but accompanied by Fergus O'Toole.

Edward Findleton: And it's time for the tonight's main event, as Franco Mancini is back in action for the first time in months!

THE Casey Gains: He's cleared to wrestle, but is he bringing his A game tonight?

As the match began, Lifeguard held his hand out for a handshake. Franco looked down at the hand, back to Lifeguard, then slapped Lifeguard across the face. Lifeguard rubbed his cheek and nodded, and grappled with Franco. In the earlier part of the match, Lifeguard started to use Irish whips to keep Franco moving and hitting him with impactful strikes. The strategy was working well, until Franco was able to get Lifeguard into a crucifix pin, where he kicked out at two.

Franco started to try various pin techniques like small packages, forcing Lifeguard to expend energy on the kickouts. As both men started to wear down, Franco Mancini hit a German suplex on Lifeguard, and finally appeared to be on the upper hand.

THE Casey Gains: Franco Mancini is a four time HAW World champion, and it took him this long to get in control of the match. I feel like he's not at 100% yet.

Franco Mancini threw Lifeguard into the turnbuckle closest to LaZor, and started elbowing him in the head. LaZor started clapping to get the crowd into it, but Franco Mancini yelled down to LaZor, throwing insults and taunts at him. As Franco turned his attention back to Lifeguard, Lifeguard kicked Franco in the ribs, and Franco fell to one knee, clutching his side.

Lifeguard went back to his Irish whip strategy, and was having some success. Mr. Lifeguard threw Franco to the ropes, and Lifeguard bent down to deliver a back body drop, but Franco stopped, dropped to the mat, and Whacked Mr. Lifeguard with a Throat Thrust. Lifeguard fell to the ground, and Franco covered him. Referee Dennis Thompson counted to three, and Franco Mancini defeated Mr. Lifeguard.

As Fergus came into the ring to celebrate with Franco, Franco looked exhausted, but held his hand in the air.

Edward Findleton: It was a very tough match for Franco Mancini, but he came out on top! Will that happen at End of the Trail? We'll see soon! Good night folks, tune in next week!

THE Casey Gains: And don't forget to vote for-

Edward Findleton: Welcome everybody to Denver, Colorado for Summit of Success! We've got a huge show tonight, as the World Championship is on the line in a cage match, it's Oden Schreiner vs Douglas Brunswick!

THE Casey Gains: Not just the World Championship, but the Women's and National championships as well. The Iconoclast challenges Kenneth Cobb in a feud that's hit close to home, while Mary Jane Elder tries to prove herself against Kitty Kayleen.

Edward Findleton: And former friends will duke it out, as James Calhoun and Fun Fight Machine take on Rat and The Behemoth.

THE Casey Gains: But first, we're kicking the show off with the tag team division, which will oddly enough be a singles match!

The Musical Lifeguard Chairs came out to a loud roar from the crowd, LaZor wearing a referee shirt. Mr. Lifeguard went over to commentary and took a seat.

Mr. Lifeguard: So fun fact, I get paid more if I actually participate in the show, so I figured I'd join you guys on commentary!

Edward Findleton: Welcome aboard! I feel safer already with a lifeguard around!

THE Casey Gains: Well for some reason I feel we're suddenly in a dangerous spot.

The Strange Crew's music played next, and out came Hawaii, accompanied by Drizzles, who stayed outside at ringside as Hawaii entered. Fergus O'Toole came out next, with Franco. Franco went to the commentary booth and looked for a chair, but found none. He went to the crowd and demanded a chair from a fan, who he pushed down to the ground. Franco grabbed the chair, and saw on the opposite of Lifeguard on the commentary.

Franco: I've been doing this before you, Lifeguard. I can play the sit at commentary game too.

Mr. Lifeguard: Oh yeah, I remember you sitting here when we beat The Men of Power for you, thanks for the wonderful reminder.

Edward Findleton: Calm down everyone..we got a match to call.

LaZor went to Fergus O'Toole and ushered him to the corner. LaZor did a check on Fergus, patting him down. He then went over to Hawaii's corner, and started to pat him down. As he got to his left boot, he stopped, then reached inside, pulling out a large knife that was concealed. Hawaii looked shocked, and LaZor carefully put the knife down. LaZor checked Hawaii's right boot, then reached in and pulled out a small bottle that was simply labeled “Acid.” Hawaii shrugged, and LaZor shook his head as he brought the items to the time keeper.

Mr. Lifeguard: And LaZor is already doing a good job at refereeing! That's a thorough pre-match inspection Franco, you should be thankful.

Franco: Shut up.

LaZor called for the bell, and the match was underway. Some fast paced chain wrestling started the match off, and LaZor kept positioning himself to always see Drizzles and Franco, ready for interference. Hawaii grabbed the rope during a submission hold for a rope break, and Fergus let go just before LaZor counted to five. LaZor started verbally warning Fergus.

Franco: Tell your boy not to worry about Fergus is doing, and not to worry about me, and just focus on the match!

Mr. Lifeguard: He's literally following the rules! Quit whining!

While LaZor was talking to Fergus, Drizzles reached into a pocket, and pulled out a small bag. Hawaii crawled toward the bag and stuck in his hand in it, and Drizzles quickly put the bag under the ring. As Fergus went back to Hawaii, Hawaii threw sand into Fergus's eyes, blinding him.

Franco: Cheating! That's a disqualification!

Hawaii used the opportunity to start an assault on on Fergus. Fergus retreated and rolled out of the ring, still trying to clear his eyes. Fergus was next to the announce table, and Hawaii followed him out. Hawaii grabbed Fergus, and got him in position for a suplex.

THE Casey Gains: No! Not during the first match of the show!

Hawaii lifted Fergus up, but right before bringing him down, Franco stood up and pushed Fergus back the other way, allowing Fergus to land on his feet. Fergus then used his own momentum to lift Hawaii up and deliver a suplex to the floor outside. Fergus then slid into the ring for a breather, as LaZor started a count on Hawaii outside the ring. Fergus finally looked like his eyes were clear around the nine count, just as Hawaii started to crawl into the ring. As Hawaii started to stand up in the ring, Fergus O'Toole delivered a vicious Superkick to Hawaii's head. Hawaii fell to the ground, and Fergus covered him.

LaZor didn't look too happy, and stood still for a moment, before dropping to his knees. LaZor counted to three, and as his hand hit the mat the third time, exited the ring, refusing to stay in and raise Fergus's arm.

Franco: That a boy Fergus! Hey Lifeguard! I'll see you in the ring in a month when I take your titles. Hope you enjoy the retirement home.

Franco took his headset off and went to the ring to congratulate Fergus, while LaZor and Lifeguard dejectedly went to the back.

Edward: We've got out first match set in stone for End of the Trail next month, it's LaZor and Mr. Lifeguard vs Franco Mancini and Fergus O'Toole for the HAW World Championship!

The Iconoclast's music played, and he came out with Viking. As the two were making their way down the ramp, The Insomniac came running down behind them, and smashed Viking in the back of the head with the HAW National Championship. Viking fell to the ground, out cold, and The Iconcolast turned towards Kenneth Cobb. Cobb told The Iconoclast to bring it, and the two started brawling on the ramp as referee Tom Hunter ran from ringside to try to break the two up.

Edward Findleton: It's the National Championship on the line but the action has already started!

Tom Hunter managed to usher Kenneth Cobb to the ring, while The Iconoclast was checking on Viking. Seeing Medical staff starting to treat Viking, The Iconoclast charged to the ring. With both men in, Tom Hunter called for the bell and the match started, just as both men started trading punches. The Insomniac eventually got The Iconoclast to the ropes then clotheslined him over the top. Cobb wasted no time, not letting up on his attack and jumped out onto The Iconcolast.

THE Casey Gains: Kenneth Cobb looks like a man possessed!

Cobb grabbed The Iconoclast by his head and whipped him into the ringside steps. He repeated the process, whipping The Iconoclast face first into the ring post, then threw him in the ring. The Iconoclast started to crawl across the rings toward the ropes, but Cobb jumped on his back, and locked in the Sleeper Hold. The Iconoclast started to fade fast, and Tom Hunter checked his arm, as it fell down three times. The bell rang, and Kenneth Cobb won via submission.

Edward Findleton: Wow! Cobb made quick work of the Iconoclast!

THE Casey Gains: Whoever challenges him next, take notes: Don't get his family involved.

Cobb started to cool down a bit, and looked at The Iconoclast and then outside the ring at Viking. He picked up his National Championship, and simply walked up the ramp, his match won.

Mary Jane Elder came out, ready for her Women's Championship match. Kitty Kayleen, with Mitchell Row, walked down to the ring next.

Edward Findleton: Mary Jane picked up the victory last week over Kitty, and won Ruslan Panov's respect, but can she win the Women's Championship this week?

As the bell rang, Mary Jane changed her strategy this week, and took a defensive approach to Kitty. As Kitty tried to amount offense, Mary Jane started to deliver counter blows. Elder seemed to have the upper hand, and tried to hit the Leg Drop DDT on Kitty, but Kitty was able to push Mary Jane away.

Kitty was able to start slowing down the pace, focusing on defense and attaching an occasional arm bar to Mary Jane to slow her offense down. The two women appeared on even ground again, when Mary Jane went for a quick strike on Kitty knocking her down. Kitty tried to get up, and Mary Jane went for the Leg Drop DDT a second time. Kitty still had her strength, and managed to over power Kitty and bring her to the mat. Mary Jane's shoulders hit the mat, and Kitty pushed down on her. Referee Brenda Moses got down, and Kitty Kayleen managed to pin Mary Jane Elder with a surprise pinfall victory!

Edward Findleton: And Kitty Kayleen wins! That pin came from out of nowhere!

THE Casey Gains: And Mary Jane Elder can't believe it! She had a strategy but it just didn't work.

Mary Jane Elder sat in the ring, staring at the group dejectedly. Kitty celebrated with her title, while Mitchell Row looked around at ringside. He took a steel chair, and slid into the ring.

Edward Findleton: Oh no, wait a minute!

Mitchell grabbed Kitty, gave her a kiss, and handed her the chair. Mary Jane was still sitting down, and buried her head in her hands. Kitty smiled, took the chair, and hit Mary Jane Elder in the back.

Edward Findleton: Come on! You won fair and square, the match is over!

THE Casey Gains: I think that was a message to the entire Women's Division. The power couple have a firm grip on the Women's Championship.

Mitchell Row picked up Kitty, and carried her out of the ring, leaving Mary Jane Elder holding her back on the ground in pain.

A loud explosion filled the arena, and The Behemoth and Rat came out for their match, followed by their opponents Fun Fight Machine and James Calhoun.

Calhoun and The Behemoth looked ready to square off to start the match, but before Referee Dennis Thompson could ring the bell, Calhoun quickly moved to the apron, and motioned for Fun Fight Machine to enter. Fun Fight Machine nodded, the bell rang, and the match was underway.

Fun Fight Machine started off running into the ropes, trying to deliver clotheslines to the Behemoth, who stood tall, barely moved by the attacks. Fun Fight Machine tried a few more times, before Behemoth caught Fun Fight Machine and ragdoll tossed him to the ground. The Behemoth hit Fun Fight Machine with a sidewalk slam, then tagged into Rat.

Rat continued the attack on Fun Fight Machine, not letting up. Rat then ran to the ropes, but as he went to spring off, James Calhoun pulled the top rope down, and Rat stumbled over the top rope and out of the ring. This gave Fun Fight Machine enough time to recover, and tagged in Calhoun.

Calhoun jumped out of the ring, throwing Rat into the barricade. Calhoun delivered chops to Rat's chest, then threw him in the ring. As Rat got to his feet, Calhoun grab him, and hit him with The Cobra Clutch Slam. James Calhoun put his hands on his hips, looked around the arena, and smiled.

THE Casey Gains: Calhoun can win it here but he needs to cover Rat!

Calhoun walked towards The Behemoth's corner, and started taunting him.

Calhoun: You never should have left! Enjoy your meaningless career! I am all powerful and untouchable!

At that point, The Behemoth walked over the rope, and quickly grabbed James Calhoun as his eyes went wide. Behemoth picked up Calhoun, and delivered the Powerbomb Shoulderbreaker, then went back to the apron. Calhoun and Rat were both out of it, struggling to get to their corner. Rat tagged in The Behemoth, and as Calhoun was crawling towards Fun Fight Machine, The Behemoth grabbed his ankle and pulled him back to the center of the ring.

Calhoun started pleading with The Behemoth, and got on his knees. The Behemoth simply stood over Calhoun, showing no emotion on his face. He picked up Calhoun, but Calhoun quickly jabbed a finger in The Behemoth's eye. Calhoun rushed to his corner and tagged in Fun Fight Machine.

Fun climbed to the top rope and tried to deliver a crossbody to The Behemoth, but Behemoth caught im in mid air. The Behemoth lifted Fun Fight Machine up in the air and hit a gorilla press slam. Fun Fight Machine was clutching his ribs, and started to make his way to Calhoun, his arm out for a tag, and The Behemoth allowing it. Just as Fun Fight Machine was a foot away from the corner, Calhoun jumped from the apron to the ground, and started to retreat up the ramp, the crowd erupting in boos.

Edward Findleton: And he's abandoning Fun Fight Machine!

Fun Fight Machine looked anguished as Calhoun disappeared backstage, then slowly used the ropes to get to his feet. He turned towards The Behemoth, who simply stood in the ring staring him down. Fun Fight Machine took a breath and let out a scream as he ran towards The Behemoth, who hit a devastating clothesline flipping Fun Fight Machine head over heel. The Behemoth picked up Fun, and hit him with the Powerbomb Shoulderbreaker. He covered Fun for the three count, and Dennis Thompson rang the bell to award them the victory.

THE Casey Gains: Unbelievable. I think that's the only word for what we saw tonight, unbelievable.

Edward Findleton: Indeed. Give credit for Fun Fight Machine for giving it all, and to Rat and The Behemoth for their team work. But the story tonight will be James Calhoun abandoning his partner!

Rat and The Behemoth stood in the ring victorious. Rat looked at the fallen Fun Fight Machine and shook his head in disappointment, and the two men exited to the back.

Edward Findleton: It's time for the main event!

A steel cage was lowered to the ring and put in place. Oden Schreiner's music came on, and he came out with the MuscleGang, still with his arm in a cast. Shortly after, Douglas Brunswick and Mayor Briggs made their way down. Before entering the ring, Briggs gave Brunswick a quick pep talk. Brunswick walked inside, and referee Tom Hunter locked the cage door.

The match started, and Douglas Brunswick immediately started going after the injured arm of Oden Schreiner. Schreiner tried to use his other arm to push Brunswick away, but Brunswick was barely able to overcome Oden's strength and was able to slam the hurt arm into the cage. 

Douglas Brunswick kept up with the constant attacks, having a clear strategy of rendering Oden's arm useless. Brunswick then started to slow down the pace, and started applying rest holds. The change up strategy seemed to backfire, and Oden started to power out of the rest holds and get back to his feet. Oden stood up, with Brunswick still on his back trying to apply the hold, and Oden walked backwards into the cage, crushing Douglas Brunswick.

Brunswick let go and fell to the ground in pain. As he stood up, Oden used his healthy non-dominant arm to grab Brunswick's throat. Oden tried to lift him for a Chokeslam, but did not have the power, and Brunswick fought back with some kicks, causing Oden to let go. Brunswick ran to the corner and climb the ropes and went for an aerial attack, but Oden caught his throat again, delivering a mid air chokeslam!

Edward Findleton: This could be it! All Oden Schreiner has to do is cover Douglas Brunswick.

Both men were down, severely hurt. Oden tried to get to Douglas Brunswick, but Brunswick was starting to make his way to his feet as well. Brunswick managed to get up first and hit a bulldog on Oden, then looked to the top of the cage. Douglas Brunswick began to climb, trying to escape for victory.

THE Casey Gains: Brunswick is hurt but slowly making his way to the top!

Oden started to get up as well, and Brunswick was almost to the top of the cage. Oden Schreiner followed him and climbed to the top rope, then slid under Douglas Brunswick. He grabbed his thighs, and Oden suddenly had him in a top rope Powerbomb position. Brunswick's eyes went widen and he elbowed Oden in the head. Oden's grip lessened a bit, and Brunswick grabbed the injured arm and shoved it into the cage. Oden let go, and crouched on the rope, holding his arm and underneath Douglas with his back towards him. Douglas repositioned himself, and climbed down a bit and grabbed Oden's hit, putting him in position for the Lifting Reverse DDT.

Edward Findleton: Oh no...not from the top rope!

Douglas picked up Oden Schreiner, and jumped, hitting a Top Rope Lifting Reverse DDT. Both men took the impact hard, and Brunswick slowly crawled over to Oden. He put an arm over him, and Tom Hunter counted for three.

Edward Findleton: What a match! Brunswick defends his title successfully!

THE Casey Gains: And more importantly, without any help from Mayor Briggs

The cage lifted, and the MuscleGang helped Oden outside the ring, while Mayor Briggs brought the HAW World Championship to Douglas. Still hurt, Douglas held up the title, then collapsed into the ropes, celebrating his victory.

Edward Findleton: Both men gave it their all tonight, and Douglas Brunswick heads into our final month as HAW World Champion. We'll see you next week ladies and gentlemen!
