25th April 2021

The show starts with a video package with a narrator talking over it. “Spring is a time of joy, a time of new beginnings and new hope. Tonight these men and women (shows snippets of every wrestler on the card) will not only be looking to write a new chapter but also sacrificing themselves in the effort of doing so. Two men (showing Moxley and Punk) will sacrifice themselves inside a steel structure for a chance to become champion in the near future. Some men are sacrificing their job (shows Stu Bennett) just to fight off a threat from a rebel (shows Kevin Steen). Some of our stars will be sacrificing championships (showing BB Crawford, Drew Galloway, Claudio Castagnoli, Sammy Guevara and DIY) to prove their dominance as they are under threat by new challengers. How far are these men and women willing to go tonight to sacrifice their body and souls....Tonight, sacrifices will be made and careers and lives shaped....forever.”

Pyro explodes throughout the PNC Arena in Raleigh, NC as Spring Sacrifice is under way!

Ranallo: ”Welcome to Spring Sacrifice!! We are live tonight in Raleigh, North Carolina and what a show this promises to be!”

McGuinness: ”Indeed Mauro, five championship matches including that huge triple threat match, the leader of The Bullet Club and PWU World Champion Drew Galloway, defending against Aleister and Bobby Lashley in a triple threat match for the gold!”

Ranallo: ”That should be a great match, also let’s not forget Claudio Castagnoli’s first International title defence on Pay Per View against PAC and of course the ominous (the camera pans to the cage hanging above the ring) Sacrifice Cage match between Jon Moxley and CM Punk, with the winner becoming the number one contender to the PWU World Heavyweight Championship! I can’t wait any longer, let’s do it!!”



The match starts off with Nick Jackson and Tommaso Witney. The two men tie up with Witney with a go behind followed by a waist lock takedown. Nick manages to counter the waist lock with a drop toe hold into a headlock. Witney uses his strength and lifts Nick before throwing him forward, Nick landing on his ass! The two tie up again and this time Witney backs Nick into the corner. The ref looks for a clean break but Nick slaps Witney hard in the face and follows up with a clothesline from behind knocking Witney to the mat! Nick shows his aggression with numerous stomps followed by a quick leg drop, Nick covers but only a two. Nick takes control of the match and whips Witney into the corner. Nick hits a running dropkick, followed by a monkey flip attempt but Witney lands on his feet and follows up with a huge lariat sending Nick Jackson crashing down hard! Witney gets the tag to Gargano! Gargano comes in and delivers quick forearms to Nick’s face and quick striking kicks to the legs before hitting a spinning forearm which knocks Nick down. Gargano hits a series jumping calf kicks to Nick before picking him up and hitting a snap suplex. Gargano covers but only a two count! Gargano picks Nick up and hoists him on his shoulders for what looks like a lawn dart in the corner attempt but Nick counters and pushes Gargano in the corner with impact and follows up with a poisonrana! Nick crawls over and tags in Matt, who waits on the apron for Gargano to get to his feet before hitting a beautiful springboard clothesline! Matt covers but only a two count. Matt waits for Gargano to get to his feet before hitting him with a huge superkick with impact! Matt then delivers a northern lights suplex and rolls with Gargano delivering a second one! Matt holds for the pin but again only a two count. Matt takes Gargano to the corner and delivers three stiff chops as ‘wooooo!’ sounds echo throughout the arena. Matt sets Gargano up on the top rope before a hurricarana attempt but Gargano blocks it and Matt lands hard! Gargano still on the top rope measures Matt and dives off with a huge missile front dropkick! The fans urge Gargano to make the tag which eventually he does! Witney comes in and charges at Nick in the opposite corner knocking him off the apron! Witney hits a seated lariat on Matt followed by two dragon suplexes landing Matt hard on the back of his head. Witney locks in the bridging armbar!! Matt is in a world of trouble but Nick makes it back in to break the hold! This brings in Gargano and all four men now in the ring! Witney and Gargano double team Nick, they whip him off the ropes and hit a double flapjack on him! Nick rolls out of the ring and Gargano flies through the ropes to the outside with a suicide dive! Witney takes his eye off Matt and Matt levels him with a huge superkick to the jaw! Matt covers but only a two. Gargano and Nick get back to their corners with the Bucks now in control. Matt picks Witney up and sets him up for a powerbomb. Matt instead delivers a buckle bomb to Witney with Nick kicking Witney in the back of the head at the same time! Matt tags in Nick and Matt hooks Witney on the bottom rope while holding Witney’s upper body. Nick goes to the top rope and delivers a swanton bomb! Witney taking a lot of punishment here! Gargano gets involved again but takes a double superkick to the face by the Bucks! Gargano sent to the outside and The Bucks look for the Meltzer Driver! Matt gets Witney in position as Nick goes to the apron. The Young Bucks hit it!!! Witney’s head driven into the mat, cover 1..........2..........no!! Gargano makes a miraculous save! The Bucks superkick Gargano again and this time they set Witney up for the ‘The More Bang for Your Buck’ Matt nails the rolling fireman’s carry with Nick hitting a 450 splash on Witney, followed by a moonsault from Matt! Nick stops Gargano getting in the ring as Matt covers Witney, 1............2............3!!! We have new champions!!

The Young Bucks celebrate as DIY look crest fallen!

Ranallo: ”What a way to kick off Spring Sacrifice!! New Tag Team Champions!”

McGuinness: ”A great start tonight for The Bullet Club! Great effort from DIY but The Young Bucks just one step ahead tonight!”

We go backstage where Kayla is standing by with Kevin Steen. Kayla asks for Steen’s thoughts on his upcoming match with GM Stu Bennett and what the ramifications are if he loses. Steen responds “Kayla, I’m not worried about if I lose. It’s not gonna happen. Stu Bennett talks a good game but he’s been retired for about six years now bitching about his injuries and why he can no longer wrestle. Since day one in PWU, he’s been tryna screw me and I’m sick of it. I’m not gonna need to worry about it after tonight cos Bennett is history....”

Stu Bennett comes out first to a chorus of boos. Bennett looks in good shape considering how long he’s been out of action.

Steen enters second to a huge ovation ‘Kill Steen Kill’ chants echo throughout the arena!



Steen wastes no time in this one and runs to the ring! Steen rolls in but Bennett meets him with boots and clubbing blows to the back but Steen takes him down to the mat and delivers numerous right hands! The fans go nuts as Steen finally gets his hands on Bennett! Steen picks Bennett up and rams his head into the turnbuckle! Steen goes up to the second turnbuckle and goes for the ten punch, Steen gets to five punches but Bennett counters with a front facing atomic drop! Bennett then puts the boots to Steen and hits a knee drop, Bennett tries to get it over with but only a two count. Bennett picks Steen off the mat and delivers a superkick to the gut before lifting Steen in the air and delivering a very impressive slingshot backbreaker! Bennett covers but again only a two count! Bennett wants this match over and sets up for ‘Wasteland’! Bennett has Steen on his shoulders but Steen counters into a crucifix pin, 1.......2......no! Bennett just about rolls out of it. Steen catches Bennett coming at him with an elbow to the face followed by a series of hard clotheslines, each one sending Bennett to the mat! Steen sends Bennett to the corner and hits a charging clothesline resulting in Bennett being in a seated position! Steen backs away and calls for the cannonball which connects! With Bennett in a prone position on the mat, Steen climbs to the top rope and delivers a beautiful frog splash! Steen hooks the leg, 1........2.......no!!! Bennett kicks out much to the shock of Steen! Steen waits for Bennett to get to his feet and he goes for the Stunner but Bennett counters into a nice neckbreaker! Bennett takes Steen into the ropes and traps him in the ropes before striking him numerous times with hard knees to the body! Steen falls to the outside of the ring. Bennett backs away and distracts the referee. While the referee’s back is turned we see Nick Aldis!!!!! Aldis runs to ringside and hits Steen with a Tombstone Piledriver on the outside while Bennett distracts the referee! ‘Holy S**t’ chants echo throughout the arena as Aldis runs back to the locker room after rolling Steen back in the ring!! Bennett picks Steen up and hits ‘Wasteland’ and covers, 1..........2..........3!!!

Ranallo: ”What the hell was that!? Nick Aldis is here and he just helped Stu Bennett!! Now Steen cannot challenge for the World of International Titles! Damnit!”

McGuinness: ”I told you Bennett must of had something up his sleeve and that something, is current NWA World Champion Nick Aldis!! Unbelievable!”

Bennett looks smug as he leaves the ring and heads backstage with his arms aloft. Steen is left laying in the ring with his head in his hands knowing that he cannot challenge for the two main titles in PWU while Stu Bennett is in charge!

We see a promo video for PWU’s next Pay Per View on June 27th, Battleground!

Ranallo: ”Yes indeed our next pay per view offering will be Battleground on June 27th, that’s gonna be a hell of a night. We have so much more still to come here though tonight!”

McGuinness: ”Yes we do, let’s get to our next match!”



Britt Baker is out here without Adam Cole, obviously feeling like she has a point to prove! The match starts off with Niven displaying her power advantage shoving Baker into the corner before multiple chops! (Greeted by woooo’s in the arena) Niven delivers a nice hip toss, followed by numerous snap mare takeovers. Niven dominant to start off the match! Niven throws Baker in the corner and looks for a corner splash but Baker moves out the way and heads quickly to the top rope delivering a nice missile dropkick to Niven leaving Niven hanging on the middle rope. Baker climbs to the apron and hits a fameasser on Niven driving her face first into the apron! Baker goes back in for the cover but only gets a two count! Baker hits a nice elbow drop onto Niven before heading to the middle rope. Baker goes for a leg drop but Niven moves out the way leaving Baker to land hard! Niven punishes Baker with big forearms to the face, whips her off the ropes and catches her coming back with a pop up face buster! Niven throwing Baker in the air letting her land hard on her front from height! Niven waits for Baker to sit up before coming off the ropes and landing a basement cross body, she covers 1......2.....no! Somehow Baker kicks out! Niven grabs Baker by the hair and delivers a hard slam. Niven calls for the end and drags Baker near the turnbuckle. Niven heads to the second turnbuckle, looking for a slingshot body splash but Baker gets to her feet and delivers a hard superkick to Niven’s face in between Niven’s legs!! With Niven stunned, Baker turns her around with Niven now seated on the top turnbuckle. Baker then hits her with a codebreaker from the second turnbuckle!! Baker hooks the leg, 1.......2......3!!

Ranallo: ”She got her!! What a win for Britt Baker!!”

McGuinness: ”Wonderful ring awareness by the Doctor! She saw Niven was going for that slingshot splash but had the awareness to hit a superkick followed by a codebreaker! Great win for Dr Britt Baker and The Bullet Club!”

We go backstage where The Bullet Club are applauding Britt Baker through the TV. Adam Cole shouts “That’s my girl!!” Drew then speaks “That is exactly what The Bullet Club is about, we have the brand new Tag Team Champions! We have Britt Baker picking up a huge win. I’m gonna retain my title later tonight. I can feel it guys, tonight is gonna be a clean sweep for us!!” The Club put in their hands for the too sweet gesture.

Ranallo: ”The Bullet Club celebrating a little prematurely don’t ya think? Drew’s up against Aleister and Lashley tonight and him walking out with that title isn’t a foregone conclusion by any means!”

McGuinness: ”Well, The Bullet Club obviously confident after two wins so far tonight but they do need to stay focused!”

Ranallo: ”Speaking of staying focused, up next we have the Xcite Championship match! With Jake Hager banned from ringside, Ricochet may be able to focus on Sammy Guevara a little more. Let’s take you back and show you the events leading up to this title rematch!”

We see a video package showing us the build up to this Xcite Championship Match including the closing moments of their Revolution title match and what happened on Thursday’s Warfare with Ricochet kicking Jake Hager off the stage through the tables and debris below.



Ricochet wastes no time in this match and delivers a corkscrew plancha on to Sammy Guevara on the outside while he’s making his entrance!! Ricochet rips off Sammy’s t shirt and hits him with numerous chops lighting up Guevara’s chest! Ricochet throws Guevara into the ring and the bell sounds to officially start this match! Ricochet waits for Guevara to stir and hits a shining wizard! Ricochet covers, 1.....2....but Guevara kicks out! Ricochet whips Guevara into the corner and hits a running enziguri kick to the back of Guevara’s head. Guevara drops in a seated position in the corner and Ricochet runs at him with double knees to the face! Ricochet all over Guevara in the opening few minutes! Ricochet goes to the top rope and looks for a 450 splash! He jumps but Guevara gets his knees up at the last moment causing Ricochet all kinds of problems. Ricochet staggers around the ring holding his ribs but Sammy kips up to his feet and hits Ricochet with a huge lariat which sends him inside out! Guevara picks Ricochet up and hoists him up for a delayed vertical suplex which is executed brilliantly. Guevara covers but Ricochet gets the shoulder up. Guevara hits a series of quick leg drops onto Ricochet before lifting him up again, this time for a samoan drop. Guevara presses Ricochet twice before dropping him, Guevara hooks the leg 1......2....but Ricochet still kicks out! Guevara looks pissed and lifts Ricochet to his feet before delivering a scoop slam. Guevara climbs to the top rope, but Ricochet kips up while Guevara is on the top turnbuckle, then he catches him with a jumping enziguri to the back of Guevara’s head! Guevara maintains his balance despite being a bit dazed, Ricochet runs to the top rope and delivers a top rope spanish fly to Guevara!! The fans cheer and applaud as Ricochet covers, 1.......2......no!! Guevara somehow kicks out! Ricochet changes tactics and goes for a STF submission hold! Guevara in a world of hurt for a few minutes but eventually Guevara somehow shifts his body weight onto Ricochet for a pin, 1.......2.....no! Ricochet releases the hold just in time. Both men now back to their feet, Ricochet goes for a superkick, it’s caught and Guevara steps through and delivers a spinning kick of his own, in shades of RVD! Guevara places Ricochet on the middle rope and chokes him as the ref starts his count to 5. Guevara releases and then heads outside the ring with Ricochet still in the position across the middle rope. Guevara charges and hits Ricochet with a double leg dropkick right to the head of Ricochet! Ricochet bounces back into the ring and Guevara covers again, 1.....2....no!! Ricochet again kicks out. Guevara starts looking frustrated so he picks Ricochet up yet again and sets him up for a powerbomb but Ricochet counters it into a code red!! Ricochet covers, 1...........2.........no!! Guevara rolls out in time! Ricochet charges at Guevara with an enziguri but Guevara ducks it. Guevara tries to deliver his springboard cutter but Ricochet counters it into a backstabber!! With Guevara down, Ricochet quickly gets to the top rope and hits the 450 splash!! Ricochet covers, 1................2.................nooooo!!! Guevara somehow kicks out!! Ricochet looks shocked and waits for Guevara to get to his feet. Ricochet charges and goes for a codebreaker but Guevara drops Ricochet and pins with a roll through and bridge, 1............2.........Ricochet kicks out! Both men back to their feet, Ricochet goes for a crucifix pin but Guevara counters and hits the Burning Hammer GTS! Guevara quickly drags Ricochet near the corner, climbs to the top rope and hits a shooting star press! Guevara hooks both legs, 1.............2..............3!!! Guevara retains!

Ranallo: ”What a match!! Impressive win for Sammy Guevara!”

McGuinness: ”I think everybody forgets just how good Sammy Guevara is and that match just proved why Sammy Guevara is the Xcite Champion! Great back and forth match between two top athletes in PWU!”

We go backstage where Kayla is standing by with one of the number one contender’s for the PWU World Championship, Bobby Lashley. Kayla asks Bobby about the match later tonight and how he’s going to handle Drew Galloway and Aleister in the same match? Bobby responds “I’m going to do what I always do, I’m going to dominate. I’d be standing here as the World Champion if it wasn’t for The Bullet Club. The match was won, everybody saw that at Revolution. Tonight, it’s no DQ, meaning I can do whatever I want to Galloway and Aleister. Aleister stuck his nose in my title challenge and managed to worm his way into this match but he will not stop me from achieving my destiny. I’m leaving with the title tonight and nobody will stand in my way”.

Ranallo: ”Bobby Lashley in my opinion, the most legit fighter in this title match and I believe him when he says he will walk out as champion...”

McGuinness: ”You have a point but Drew and Aleister are both fierce competitors. Drew is our current champion and regardless of the distraction from The Young Bucks at Revolution, he still got the job done over Lashley at Revolution!”

Ranallo: ”This will be an intriguing title match later tonight. Up next though, another intriguing encounter between two different eras of The Bullet Club, the current era represented by Adam Cole taking on the original leader of the Bullet Club in Japan.....Prince Devitt!”

We see a video package of the history of Prince Devitt in The Bullet Club as well as Adam Cole’s history in the faction. We then see what happened two weeks ago with Adam Cole losing the International Title final match thanks to a distraction from The Good Brothers and Prince Devitt and the events since leading up to this match.



Adam Cole and Devitt start the match off face to face. Cole and Devitt exchange right hands as the bell sounds! Devitt ducks a clothesline attempt and hits a slingblade followed up by another one! Cole staggers a bit, Devitt hits a double footed front dropkick sending Cole into the corner! Cole falls to the mat near the corner and Devitt looks to end this early! Devitt jumps for the ‘Coup De Grace’ but Cole rolls out of the ring and Devitt lands on his feet and rolls through. Cole takes a few moments outside but Devitt dives over the top rope with a tope con hilo on to Adam Cole! Devitt does his arm taunt to hype up the fans before Devitt tries to whip Cole into the barricade but Cole reverses it and Devitt is sent crashing back first into the barricade! Cole lifts Devitt and sends him ribs first on to the barricade with a front suplex! Cole then climbs on to the ring apron and hits Devitt with a jumping knee drop right to the back of the head sending him flipping off the barricade to the floor. Cole climbs back into the ring and does his ‘Adam Cole bay bay!’ with the crowd joining in. Cole goes back to the outside and rolls Devitt into the ring and goes for the cover but only gets a two count. Cole drags Devitt to his feet and goes for the argentine neckbreaker which he executes well. Cole looking for an early finish, he goes to the middle rope for the Panama sunrise destroyer but as he jumps, Devitt connects with a pele kick in mid air sending Cole crashing to the mat. Devitt hits Cole with a series of slingblades. Devitt then has Cole in a reverse DDT position before delivering a spinning elbow drop cut! Devitt hooks the leg, 1........2.....no! Cole kicks out! Devitt goes to whip Cole into the corner but Cole reverses it. Cole charges but Devitt climbs out of the way over the top rope and then follows up with a kick to Cole’s head while holding the ropes! Devitt heads to the top rope and jumps but Cole counters with a superkick in mid air! Cole covers Devitt, 1......2.....kick out! Devitt gets the shoulder up. Cole approaches Devitt’s legs and executes a beautiful wheelbarrow suplex! Cole covers again but again a near fall! Cole lifts Devitt up and goes for a northern lights suplex, but Devitt counters, hooks Cole’s arm and hits the 1916 out of nowhere sending Cole crashing down with his head/neck area spiked into the mat! Devitt gets an arm across for the cover, 1.........2.......no! Devitt looks shocked that Cole got the shoulder up and heads to the top rope! Devitt sets up for the ‘Coup De Grace’ again and connects!!! Devitt hooks the leg, 1...............2..................no!!! Cole again kicks out somehow! The fans thought that was gonna be it! Devitt picks Cole up by the hair and looks as though he’s going for the 1916 again. Cole blocks the attempt and this time counters with a northern lights suplex. Cole lifts Devitt back up and hits a firemen’s carry neckbreaker! Cole pulls down his kneepad and calls for the ‘Last Shot’, Cole comes off the ropes and connects with the knee to the back of the head! Cole covers, 1...............2................no!!! Cole can’t believe it as Devitt kicks out! Cole mounts Devitt and levels him with numerous right hands. Cole heads to the second turnbuckle and waits for Devitt to get to his feet which he does with help from the ropes. Cole jumps and hits the Panama Sunrise destroyer!! Cole pulls his other knee pad down and waits for Devitt to get to his knees before hitting him with the second ‘Last Shot’ knee to the back of the head! Cole hooks both legs, 1..........2............3!!!

Cole rolls out of the ring and heads back to the locker room with a big grin on his face. Devitt looks somewhat unsteady as he tries to stand in the ring.

Ranallo: ”What a tremendous back and forth match! Tonight was Adam Cole’s night!”

McGuinness: ”Huge win for Adam Cole tonight! He needed that after the disappointment of missing out on the International Championship! More to the point, so far The Bullet Club are three in three!”

We go backstage where we see Kevin Steen leaving the arena when Kayla catches up with him “Kevin, I’m sorry about the result of your match earlier tonight. What’s next for Kevin Steen?” “Kayla it’s okay. Obviously I’m upset and I’m pissed about the way in which Bennett got the win tonight but I don’t expect anything else from him. Don’t worry though, I know exactly what’s next for Kevin Steen....it’s time for a new chapter for me in PWU....”

Ranallo: “Kevin Steen obviously upset at his loss earlier tonight, his career in PWU will take a major downward turn after no longer being able to challenge for either the World Championship or the International Championship....”

McGuinness: ”Obviously this will affect Kevin Steen but I know that he is a tremendous asset and will continue to be for this company despite not being able to win a major title here...well while Stu Bennett is in power at least!”

Ranallo: ”Speaking of major titles.....up next is for the PWU Women’s Championship between BB Crawford and Rhea Ripley. Let’s take a look at the events leading up to this match....”

We see a video package looking at the events leading up to the Women’s Championship Match including BB Crawford winning the title at Revolution to become the first champion and her successful title defense against Britt Baker. We then see Rhea Ripley attacking BB Crawford and becoming the number one contender as well as the events on the last two week’s leading up to this match.



The two ladies start the match with a lock up which neither of them gain an advantage with, despite pushing each other around the ring. The two tie up again and this time, Ripley wrenches BB’s arm and pulls it relentlessly taking BB down to the mat. Rhea works on the arm driving her knee into the elbow. Rhea picks BB up and continues to wrench the arm but BB rolls through it and elbows Ripley to the face followed by a waistlock takedown! Ripley breaks the lock and puts BB in a headlock but BB displays her power and throws Ripley to the mat! BB taunts Ripley as the ‘nightmare’ looks surprised! Ripley runs at BB who is near the corner but BB moves and Ripley ends up sternum first in the corner, BB follows up with a nice german suplex pin, 1.........2......Rhea kicks out! BB continues her assault and hits Rhea with forearms in the corner. BB goes for the monkey flip on Ripley but Ripley blocks it and sits BB on the top turnbuckle before delivering a hard slap which sends BB crashing all the way to the floor on the outside! Ripley follows BB to the outside and picks her up before delivering a huge powerbomb to BB on the ring apron! BB favours her back as Ripley rolls her back into the ring for the cover, 1.......2......no! BB gets the shoulder up! Ripley stomps away on BB before picking her up and delivering two short arm clotheslines which land hard. Ripley then hooks BB in a cross arm lock before hoisting her in the air! Ripley hangs BB in the air in the hold for a few moments as the ref asks BB if she wants to quit. BB is in pain but doesn’t quit and reverses this hold into a roll through pinning predicament, 1.......2......Ripley kicks out! BB cuts Ripley off with a hard elbow to the face followed by a dropkick! BB gets some offense and delivers a jumping knee strike before planting Ripley with a delayed vertical suplex! Huge strength shown by BB Crawford! BB covers but again only a two. BB hits a standing moonsault on to Ripley and goes for another cover but Ripley kicks out at one. BB takes Ripley to the corner and attempts a handspring elbow, but Rhea gets her knees up right into BB’s back and follows up with knee strikes to the head followed by a snapmare then a basement dropkick. Rhea wastes no time and locks BB in the Prism Trap!! BB has nowhere to go and is in agony! BB manages to eventually find the strength to grab the ropes to break the hold! Ripley waits for BB to get to her feet and delivers a devastating bicycle kick to the jaw of BB Crawford! Ripley lifts BB by her long ponytail and talks trash but BB stamps on her foot which releases Ripley’s grip on her hair. BB then whips Ripley with her hair which makes an almighty smack! BB does this again before excecuting a belly to belly suplex! BB waits Ripley to get to her feet and goes for the KOD! BB lifts Rhea up but Ripley climbs down BB’s back and delivers a a rip cord knee followed by a Pumphandle Slam attempt but BB reverses it with a roll up and a bridge, 1.........2.........3!!! BB gets the win!

BB collapses to the mat after the three count but Ripley stomps away on BB after the match! Ripley hits BB with the pump handle slam and throws the title belt on top of her before leaving the ringside area to boos from the crowd.

Ranallo: ”BB Crawford with a hard fought win to retain her title but Rhea Ripley strikes again after the match to attack the champion!”

McGuinness: ”BB with a wonderful roll up for the win but it was more out of desperation than anything else! I thought Rhea Ripley had the match won, I have to admit but congratulations BB Crawford!”

We go backstage to Stu Bennett’s office where Bennett, Sha Samuels and Nick Aldis are having a beer to celebrate Stu’s win earlier in the evening. Kayla knocks and enters and asks Stu Bennett about Nick Aldis and what his purpose is for being here? Bennett smirks “Me and Nick go way back. I asked him for a favour tonight and he helped me. In return, I’ve offered him a flexible contract to wrestle in PWU. He can still wrestle in NWA and I’d like to thank them for agreeing to our terms. This week on Warfare, Nick Aldis will make his debut in PWU.” Kayla then asks about Kevin Steen....Bennett responds “What is this twenty bloody questions!? Who cares about Kevin Steen anyway?” Nick Aldis interjects “Look Kayla, it’s simple. Nobody cares about Kevin Steen. I am the NWA World Champion and I’m here now. Steen could never be a champion like myself.....well certainly not now anyway!” All three men laugh before Bennett continues “Kevin Steen can now disappear with his tail between his legs knowing that he’ll never be champion....and on that thought you can disappear too Kayla....goodbye” Bennett shoes Kayla out of his office before Kayla rolls her eyes and walks off.


McGuinness: ”How about that, the NWA World Champion Nick Aldis wrestling in PWU!”

Ranallo: ”That’s a huge signing and he will make his debut this coming Thursday on Warfare!! Up next Nigel, a match I know I’ve been looking forward to. It’s Claudio Castagnoli defending the International Championship for the first time on Pay Per View against ‘The Bastard’ Pac!”

We see a video package showing the events leading to this match including Castagnoli winning the International Championship, his open challenge matches as well as Pac being announced as number one contender and interfering in Castagnoli’s match this past Thursday.



This match starts with both men locking up with Castagnoli pushing Pac to the mat. They lock up again and this time Castagnoli backs Pac into the corner. He looks for a clean break but Pac gives him a thumb to the eye before striking Claudio with several kicks, one of which sending Castagnoli to the mat. Pac delivers a quick leg drop and goes for a cover but only gets a two count. Pac continues to take control, kicking Castagnoli in the ribs while he attempts to get to his feet. Pac picks him up and whips him into the corner. Pac charges with a forearm but Castagnoli gets his feet in Pac’s face! Claudio climbs to the second turnbuckle and catches Pac coming back with a nice spinning elbow which sends Pac down. Claudio picks up Pac, whips him off the ropes but Pac leapfrogs and goes for a reverse hurricarana but Claudio blocks it and instead hits a nice reverse alabama slam! Pac face first to the mat! Claudio then gets Pac in a surfboard submission! A lot of torc on Pac’s back for a period of time but Pac manages to break the grip from Claudio and wriggle free of the leg lock. As Claudio goes after Pac, Pac kicks Claudio’s head while situated on the mat! Claudio is sent stumbling back towards the other side of the ring and Pac springs to his feet and delivers a slingblade followed by a beautiful dropkick! Pac hits a standing moonsault and taunts the crowd. Pac picks Claudio up and whips him into the corner with authority! Pac follows up with numerous kicks to the chest followed by a spinning kick to the face leaving the champion in kinds of trouble. Pac sets Claudio on the top rope and delivers a beautiful suplex from the top rope! Pac covers but only gets a two count! Pac heads to the top rope and looks to hit the ‘Red Arrow’ but in mid air, Castagnoli nips to his feet and hits a European uppercut to Pac, knocking him senseless! Huge moment in the match for Castagnoli! Claudio then delivers two deadlift gutwrench suplexes to Pac. Pac rolls out to the apron but Claudio doesn’t let him go anywhere and climbs to the second turnbuckle, he brings Pac back into the ring with a deadlift second turnbuckle suplex!! Claudio goes for the cover but Pac kicks out at two! Claudio locks Pac in the crossface! Pac is in agony but uses his body to roll Claudio over into a pinning predicament, 1.....2.....kick out! Both men back to their feet and Claudio meets Pac with a series of European uppercuts. Claudio whips Pac off the ropes and Pac ducks a clothesline attempt, springs off the ropes on the far side and goes for a cross body but Claudio catches him and hits a nice fallaway slam! Claudio goes by Pac’s legs and begins the big swing! Claudio swings Pac numerous times before going for the Sharpshooter! Claudio tries to lock it in but Pac spins Claudio to the mat using his legs before Pac jumps on him and locks in the ‘Brutalizer’ submission! Pac synchs it in and Claudio is in big trouble! The crowd rally behind Claudio and he eventually manages to get to his feet with the hold still locked in! Claudio breaks free from the hold with a hip toss and catches Pac coming back at him with a pop up European uppercut!! Claudio kicks Pac in the gut and delivers the Neutraliser! Castagnoli covers, 1......2......3!!!

Castagnoli leaves the ring with his title as Pac looks pissed off.

Ranallo: ”Castagnoli retains the International Championship!”

McGuinness: ”Great back and forth action there, Pac came so close to gaining the title but Castagnoli just too quick for him! Great first pay per view title defence for Claudio Castagnoli!”

Ranallo:”Talking of first title defences....up next is the PWU World Heavyweight Championship match. The leader of The Bullet Club Drew Galloway defending the PWU World Championship against Bobby Lashley and Aleister in a triple threat match!”

We see a promo video of Drew Galloway becoming the World Champion at Revolution followed by the events after the match with the Bullet Club reformation. We see all the events leading up to this triple threat with all three men brawling, the wars between Aleister’s faction and Bullet Club and clips from other matches over the previous few weeks.

After the video package, Bobby Lashley enters first to a mixed response. Aleister enters second to a decent pop, fans mostly behind Aleister. The champion enters last to a most negative ovation.



The match begins with Bobby Lashley hitting an almighty spear to Drew Galloway at the bell! Galloway rolls out the ring and Aleister and Lashley start throwing punches at each other. Aleister goes for a kick but Lashley catches his foot and hits a huge spinebuster! Lashley covers but Aleister kicks out. Galloway rolls back into the ring and clobbers Lashley with a clothesline before throwing him outside the ring. Galloway follows Lashley to the outside and whips Lashley hard into the stairs. Drew continues the assault and grabs a steel chair. He attempts to do the same as what he did to Killer Kross on Warfare, but Aleister rolls to the outside and catches the chair before Galloway is able to drive the chair on to Lashley! Aleister delivers a spinning kick knocking the chair back into the face of Galloway! All three men on the outside with Aleister currently standing tall. Aleister takes the chair and throws it into Lashley’s head as he’s trying to reach his feet. Aleister picks Lashley up and tries to ram his head into the ring post but Lashley blocks it and instead rams Aleister face first into the turnbuckle. Lashley whips Aleister into the ring but stays on the apron. Aleister gets to his feet and Lashley connects with a slingshot clothesline. Lashley approaches Aleister but Galloway rolls back in and executes a german suplex to Lashley. Galloway goes to work on Aleister and hits him with a belly to back suplex. Lashley tries to charge at Galloway for a spear but Galloway moves, leaving Lashley crashing into the ring post! Galloway dropkicks Lashley out of the ring again and waits for Aleister to get to his feet for a Claymore! Galloway charges and goes for the Claymore but Aleister moves out the way! Aleister then strikes Drew with numerous kicks to the chest before sweeping his legs from under him and hitting a double foot stomp to the chest! Aleister looks for the Midnight Mass kick but Lashley gets back into the ring and clobbers Aleister with a big boot sending him to the mat! Lashley picks Aleister up and whips him into the corner and drives his shoulders into Aleister’s mid section. Lashley sets Aleister on the top rope and looks for a suplex but Galloway gets to his feet and sets Lashley up for an electric chair drop. Drew executes the electric chair drop while simultaneously Lashley suplexes Aleister from the top rope!! Huge impact! All three men are down momentarily before Galloway gets to his feet. Galloway goes to the outside and pulls a table out from underneath the ring! Galloway sets it up next to the ring apron on the outside. Galloway rolls back into the ring and points trigger fingers to Aleister. Galloway gets Aleister in position for the powerbomb and lifts Aleister up but Lashley takes out Drew’s legs just as he was about to dump Aleister through that table! Drew is near the ropes trying to get back to his feet but Lashley runs at Drew and spears him through the ropes to the outside through the table!!! ‘Holy s**t’ chants echo throughout the arena! Aleister surveys the damage as Galloway and Lashley are laying amongst the table rubble. Aleister goes to the outside and drags Drew into the ring by his hair. Aleister covers, 1.........2........no!!! Drew somehow gets the shoulder up! Aleister gets to his feet and waits for Galloway to get to his feet. Aleister goes for the Midnight Mass but it’s ducked and Drew quickly lands a Future Shock DDT! Drew covers, 1.........2........no! Lashley out of nowhere breaks up the fall! Lashley then locks Drew in the Hurt Lock!! Drew has nowhere to go as Lashley wears him down in the hold. It looks like Lashley has the match won but Aleister gets to his feet and connects with the Midnight Mass kick on Lashley knocking him senseless! Aleister covers, 1............2.............Drew breaks it up, throws Aleister out the ring and covers Lashley, 1................2.................3!!!!!

Drew rolls out of the ring and snatches his title belt and heads to the back.

Ranallo: ”Drew’s stolen it here!!!! I can’t believe it!”

Aleister can’t believe it and he just sits cross legged outside the ring looking frustrated. Lashley tries to get to his feet.
The Young Bucks, Adam Cole and Britt Baker enter the stage to stand with the champion, Drew Galloway. The Bullet Club on the stage looking smug as Drew and The Young Bucks holds their titles over their heads.

Ranallo: ”A huge night for The Bullet Club tonight, a clean sweep! Bullet Club showing their dominance in PWU!”

McGuinness: ”Congratulations to the Bullet Club tonight, whether you like them or not, they have got the job done and done exactly what they set out to do!”

We go backstage where Kayla is standing by with Prince Devitt and The Good Brothers. Kayla asks Devitt how he is feeling after The Bullet Club’s clean sweep tonight. Devitt responds “You know what, you need to give the devil their due. They set out to conquer tonight and they did. Despite what’s happened tonight, this war with The Bullet Club isn’t over. That is why me and my boys here are challenging The Bullet Club to the Battleground Match at the next pay-per-view. Two rings inside a steel cage, anything goes and only one team can win. I’ll await their response on Thursday night....”

Ranallo: ”Wow what a challenge from Prince Devitt!! Devitt and The Good Brothers want The Bullet Club in the Battleground match at the Battleground pay-per-view!”

McGuinness: ”We can expect a war if Bullet Club accept their challenge. Those two teams inside a cage with anything goes rules, that’ll be a battle for the ages...”

Ranallo: ”Well talking of cages......up next is the main event, the first ever Sacrifice Cage Match here in PWU. It’s CM Punk versus Jon Moxley, with the winner being named the number one contender to the PWU World Championship. This rivalry has got personal, let’s show you the history between these two men so far in PWU!”

We see a video package that highlights the history between Moxley/Punk in PWU including Punk’s debut on the first Warfare, the wars of words, the physical brawls between them and the match at Revolution. We then see footage from last weeks Warfare with the two brawling amongst security. After this, the video package goes into explaining the rules of this upcoming match. The package ends with “which of these men will make the bigger sacrifice for their shot at glory?..”

Mauro Ranallo then runs down the rules on commentary:

1. The ring is surrounded by a huge steel cage without a roof.

2. Around the top of each side of the cage is a dangerous element. One side has barbed wire, second side has an inferno, third side has tacks and broken glass, fourth side has electrical fencing.

3. Someone must gain a pinfall or submission before attempting to escape the sacrifice cage. A wrestler must climb over the top sacrificing their body to escape the structure.

4. Once a wrestler has tried to escape the structure via a particular side, he can no longer use that side to escape the cage unless he has already tried unsuccessfully to escape all four sides.

5. The winner is the first man to gain a pinfall or submission and successfully navigate their exit from the cage over the top choosing their ‘sacrifice’.

6. There are no rules and weapons are placed around the ringside area.

McGuinness: ”Here you can see the structure being lowered around the ring, that barbed wire on one side that will tear through flesh. The inferno will be activated once the structure is fully lowered and surrounding the ring, the electrical wire which will shock these guys potentially throwing them from the cage and the tacks and broken glass which will pierce and cut skin. This is going to be brutal!”

The inferno on top of the cage is lit and Justin Roberts begins the announcements. CM Punk enters first and the crowd give a mostly positive reaction with large sections breaking out into CM Punk chants. Jon Moxley enters second in street attire and he makes his way to the ring through the crowd with a big ovation. The crowd seem very split in this match.



Moxley shuts the cage door behind him and rolls into the ring and Punk attacks immediately as the bell sounds! Punk stomps away quickly but Moxley takes down Punk and hammers away with fast punches to the head. Moxley hits Punk with stiff stomps to the face before picking him up and throwing him to the outside through the middle rope. Moxley straight away whips Punk into the steel fence of the cage! Moxley squashes Punk’s face against the cage wall before trying to ram him into the ring post but Punk blocks it and sends Moxley crashing into the side of the cage! Punk then grabs a steel chair and rolls Moxley into the ring. Punk then hits Moxley in the ribs with the chair before smashing the chair against Moxley’s back! Punk goes for a cover but only a two count! Punk then climbs to the top rope with the chair in hand and places it under his elbow before jumping off with an elbow drop, the chair bouncing off Moxley’s face! Punk covers, 1.........2........3!! Punk gets a fall, meaning Punk can now attempt to exit the cage. Punk rolls out of the ring and chooses the side where the thumb tacks and broken glass is. Punk scales the cage wall and gets approximately half way up but Moxley manages to roll out of the ring and shake the cage causing Punk to fall down! Moxley takes Punk down by the legs and hits him repeatedly with punches. Moxley picks Punk up and again rams his head into the cage before hitting a suplex on the outside! Moxley looks for another weapon and finds a barbed wire baseball bat! Moxley rolls Punk into the ring and brings the bat with him. Moxley picks Punk up and hits a Russian leg sweep using the barbed wire bat. Moxley goes for a cover but only gets a two count! Moxley sees the chair that Punk brought into the match earlier and sets it up. Moxley drags Punk near the chair and sets up for the Paradigm Shift onto the chair but Punk counters with a northern lights suplex to Moxley on the chair! Punk covers but only gets a two count. Punk rolls to the outside and pulls out a table from underneath the ring! Punk tries to place it in the ring but Moxley gets to his feet and delivers a baseball slide sending the table crashing in to Punk and Punk crashes into the cage wall! Moxley sets the table up on the outside of the ring and places Punk on to it followed by a few right hands. Moxley starts climbing the cage! The fans are a little confused as to why as he hasn’t gained a fall/submission yet. Moxley gets half way up and then just jumps back turning in mid air for a huge body splash through Punk through the table!!!! The fans become unglued and as Moxley chant breaks out! After a few moments, Moxley starts to move. Moxley drags Punk’s unconscious body into the ring and hooks the leg, 1........2......3!! Moxley gets a fall! Moxley rolls out of the ring still feeling the affects from that dive a moment ago. Moxley tries to escape on the barbed wire side. Moxley scales the cage taking his time, meanwhile Punk is stirring in the ring. Punk rolls out the ring still dazed, picks up a chair and throws it at Moxley in a desperate attempt! The chair hits Moxley’s leg and Moxley slips off the cage wall landing badly on his knee. Punk zeros in on this and hits Moxley repeatedly in the leg with a steel chair!! Punk rolls Moxley in and picks up the barbed wire bat! Punk scrapes the bat against Moxley’s knee, tearing at his jeans causing the leg to start bleeding! Punk then uses the bat and locks in a version of the Anaconda Vice using the barbed wire bat! Moxley with nowhere to go and the referee calls that as a submission win for Punk! Punk again climbs out of the ring but this time chooses to escape up the side where the electrical fence is on top! Punk looks like he has this match won as he scales the cage and gets to the top, Moxley hobbling slowly after him! Punk puts his hand on the top to get leverage to push himself up but the electric fence activates causing Punk to shock himself!! Punk falls a bit before managing to hold on to the middle of the cage. Punk hanging off the middle of the cage, Moxley smacks Punk in the back with a chair causing him to completely fall off the cage!!! Punk falls hard to the outside with Moxley hobbling around, a gash in the side of his leg. Moxley brings Punk back into the ring and ties him up in the ropes! Moxley takes the barbed wire bat and hits Punk three times in the ribs! Punk in a world of hurt, Moxley unties him then hits him with a Paradigm Shift! Moxley covers, 1.........2.........3!! Moxley with another pinfall! Moxley goes for the escape on the side where the tacks and glass is. Moxley struggles with his leg trying to escape but Moxley’s leg gives out causing him to slide down the cage wall meaning an unsuccessful escape attempt. Punk favouring his ribs heads to the outside and kicks away at Moxley’s leg before rolling him back into the ring. Punk grabs Moxley’s legs and looks for a sharpshooter but Moxley musters the strength to kick Punk away. Moxley gets to his feet and clobbers Punk with a desperation clothesline. Moxley gets some momentum and whips Punk into the corner. Moxley charges at Punk with a clothesline followed by a bulldog. Moxley covers but only a two count! Moxley picks Punk up and tries to hit the Paradigm Shift on the steel chair but Punk blocks it ad hits a huge kick to the side of Moxley’s head! Punk then looks at the chair and then glances at Moxley and Punk traps Moxley’s head in the chair! Punk lifts Moxley up on his shoulders and hits the GTS with Moxley’s head trapped in the chair!!! Punk covers, 1.........2.........3!!! Punk heads to the outside and stares up at the inferno on top of the cage! Punk begins scaling the inferno side of the cage and Moxley starts to move in the ring. Punk looks nervous about trying to scale the cage and hesitates slightly. Moxley takes advantage of this and gets to the outside, somehow hobbling up the cage! Moxley eventually catches up with Punk and the two men battle half way up the cage! They throw punches at each other and Punk continues his ascension up the cage. Punk goes near the fire, but Moxley also fights with him towards the top! Punk knocks Moxley down a few steps and Punk climbs over the fire wall but Punk is alight! Punk’s leg is alight, Moxley gets back to the top and climbs over the fire successfully while Punk starts to descend to the outside while his leg is on fire! Punk on fire half way down while hanging on the top, Moxley stamps on Punk’s hand causing him to crash through the announce table below!! The bell sounds and officials rush with fire extinguishers to put Punk’s leg out!! Justin Roberts announces CM Punk as the winner!!

Ranallo: ”Well Punk has won the match! Punk has escaped the cage with a little help from Moxley! CM Punk will get a shot at the PWU World Championship in the near future!”

McGuinness: ”That was the wildest thing I’ve seen in my career....what a brutal match!”

Moxley collapses to the mat below and sits there holding his wounds as Punk is out of it underneath debris from the announcers table!

Ranallo: ”What carnage we’ve seen tonight! Both men nursing their battle scars! CM Punk is the number one contender but at what cost!! Goodnight everybody!”

April 29th 2021

Warfare opens up with still images from the matches at Spring Sacrifice ending with a shot of CM Punk under the announce table after falling through it to win the Sacrifice cage match to become the number one contender for the World Championship.

Ranallo: ”Welcome to Warfare! We are four days removed from Spring Sacrifice and what a show we have tonight! We have NWA World Champion Nick Aldis making his PWU debut tonight taking on Frankie Kazarian, plus we’ll hear from CM Punk, Claudio Castagnoli’s open challenge but first we’re opening up with Stu Bennett!”

GM Stu Bennett enters the arena with Sha Samuels and Nick Aldis. The fans boo as Bennett takes the microphone. “I’d like to formally introduce you to my friend, the newest signing for PWU and the current NWA World Heavyweight Champion, Nick Aldis!” The fans boo as Aldis holds his title belt up in the air. “Now, we will see this man in action later tonight but first I’d like to thank him for his help on Sunday, and I can now rest easy knowing that Kevin Steen will never be a world champion while I’m running the show. Now then, I’m out here to talk business. So.....” before Bennett can finish we hear Jon Moxley’s music hit! Moxley hobbles through the crowd, showing his injuries have taken a toll on him from Sunday. Jon Moxley rolls into the ring and demands a microphone. “I hate to break up this love fest but I can’t sit back there and listen to this s**t anymore. I’ve been busy the last few weeks with all my attention on CM Punk but I’ve kept an eye on what you’ve been doing Bennett and I don’t like it. You come out here acting like you are into the spirit of competition but all you do is keep screwing guys out of matches. Now on Sunday, Punk got me. Hate to admit it but Punk got one over on me and he is one tough bastard. I’ll win the PWU World Championship later on but for now my attention is here.” Nick Aldis interjects “Who the hell do you think you are!? I’m the NWA World Champion and he (talking about Bennett) is your general manager! Have some respect!! Now simmer down before I knock you down” Aldis gets into Moxley’s face but Moxley takes down Aldis! Very quickly it turns into a beat down as Sha Samuels hammers away on Moxley. Samuels hits a fall forward powerslam to Moxley before Aldis takes Moxley’s legs and locks him in the Cloverleaf!! Aldis further injures Moxley’s leg and the three men leave with grins on their faces.

McGuinness: ”Nick Aldis making a huge statement here on Warfare! Aldis just took out Moxley with a little help from Sha Samuels!”

AJ Styles vs. Kip Sabian
This one starts out with both men just trying to feel each other out, trying to one up each other. They tie up, Sabian goes behind Styles and goes for a waist lock take down but Styles counters with a roll through that gets a two count. Styles hits a series of dropkicks followed by a series of strikes knocking down Sabian after a Pele kick. Styles takes control and sets up for the Styles Clash! With Sabian in position suddenly we hear a voice from the stage....

It’s Aleister! Aleister, Killer Kross and Adam Scherr appear on the stage with Aleister holding a microphone. AJ releases Sabian and heads towards the ropes staring at Aleister. “AJ AJ.....don’t worry! We’re not here to harm you, we just want you to join The Anarchy!”

Aleister sits cross legged on the stage as AJ looks confused, Sabian goes for a roll up, 1.........2........no AJ kicks out!! AJ nails Sabian with a hard kick to the head knocking him down. AJ follows up with a flying forearm right to the face of Sabian, AJ covers 1........2.......3!!! AJ Styles gets the win as Aleister looks on with a grin on his face. AJ looks up to the stage still confused as Aleister and his henchmen go back to the locker room.

Ranallo: “What was that!? Was.....Aleister just scouting AJ Styles? We saw that handshake last week...”

McGuinness: ”I’m not sure what is going on here! Seemingly Aleister has some sort of interest in AJ Styles?”

We go backstage and we see The Bullet Club arrive! All of the members looking pleased with themselves after a clean sweep at Spring Sacrifice.

Up next, Claudio Castagnoli is in the ring with a mic. “Once again, it’s that time of the week where I show the wrestling world why I am THE premier athlete in sports entertainment. It’s time for the open challenge! Now, who’s gonna try and make a name for themselves tonight and try to take my International Championship from me?...”

After a few moments of waiting, it’s the ‘Bruiserweight’ Pete Dunne! Dunne making his first appearance in PWU!

Pete Dunne vs. Claudio Castagnoli (PWU International Championship)
The match starts out with a nice chain wrestling encounter between the two men ending with Pete Dunne applying a headlock but Castagnoli lifts Dunne in the air and throws him to the mat! Castagnoli whips Dunne into the corner and charges at him with a clothesline then hits a series of corner clotheslines to Dunne! Claudio then delivers a nice snap suplex, covers but only a two count. Claudio goes by the legs for the big swing but Dunne kicks Claudio away and then trips him with a drop toe hold into a chin lock. Dunne stretches the face of Castagnoli and follows with a rake in the eyes. Aggressive offense from Pete Dunne. Dunne then stomps away on Castagnoli. Dunne picks Claudio up goes for a clothesline which is ducked, he then flips himself over Claudio using the turnbuckle and follows up with a standing enziguri! Castagnoli is sent to the mat and Dunne follows up with a huge roundhouse kick, Dunne covers, 1......2.....no! Close to having a new champion there! Dunne then hits a double foot stomp onto the chest of Claudio before locking in a triangle choke! Claudio seems to be in trouble but he uses his strength to lift Dunne off the canvas while still in the hold and slams Dunne to the mat with a powerbomb! Claudio lifts Dunne off the mat and delivers a series of gutwrench suplexes! He waits for Dunne to get to his feet before hitting a springboard European uppercut off the middle rope. Claudio covers but only gets a two count! Castagnoli goes for the Neutraliser but Dunne counters with a back body drop. Dunne then catches Claudio coming at him with an elbow smash and the two begin to trade elbow smashes and European uppercuts. Dunne catches Claudio’s hand and executes a finger snap! Claudio holds his hand in pain as Dunne hits a huge roundhouse kick to the back of the head! With Claudio staggering, Dunne hits an X Plex and covers but only a two count! Dunne waits for Claudio and tries to set up for the Bitter End but Castagnoli counters in mid air with a DDT! Castagnoli grabs Dunne by the waist and executes a dead lift german suplex! Claudio calls for the big swing and delivers it, swinging Dunne around 10 times by his legs. Claudio finishes by locking in the Sharpshooter in which Dunne eventually taps out!

After the match, Claudio helps Dunne back to his feet and the two exchange a handshake in a display of sportsmanship.

Ranallo: ”Claudio Castagnoli STILL the International Champion! What a week it’s been for him and a nice show of sportsmanship there at the end of what was a great match!”

McGuinness: ”Indeed Mauro a great match and Castagnoli is still the champion! Who is going to be the one to take this title from him, if anyone can?”

Ranallo: ”That’s a good question Nigel maybe we’ll find out at our next pay per view on June 27th, Battleground!! We saw The Bullet Club arrive earlier tonight, will they respond to the challenge from Prince Devitt regarding the Battleground match at the Pay Per View?”

We go backstage to Stu Bennett’s office when Aleister and his henchmen enter! “Hey Stu.....it’s been a while since we spoke. I’m guessing you saw the ending of the triple threat match on Sunday?....” Stu looks perplexed “I did indeed....” Aleister responds “Well then you’ll understand why I’m here. It was my move that knocked Bobby Lashley senseless on Sunday and Galloway stole the win. So I want a one on one title match with Drew Galloway next week on Warfare! What do you say?” Bennett thinks for a moment “You have a point Aleister, I mean had Galloway not shoved you away, you’d be standing here as champion right now. So me being the fair man I am, I accept that proposal. Next week it’ll be Championship Warfare, Aleister versus Drew Galloway for the PWU World Heavyweight Championship!” Aleister smirks “I figured you’d see it my way....after all I wouldn’t wanna unleash the anarchy on the rest of PWU now....would i?” Aleister leaves the locker room with Bennett looking a little concerned.

Ranallo: ”Wow how about that!? Next week for the first time in PWU, the World Championship will be on the line when Drew Galloway defends against Aleister one on one!”

McGuinness: ”That’s a huge match announced for next week! Galloway and the rest of The Bullet Club can’t be happy about that!!”

Lexi Kaufman vs. Rhea Ripley
This match taking place due to what happened in the tag match on last week’s episode of Warfare. Kaufman tries to strike Ripley early with a flurry of punches and forearms to the face. Kaufman whips Ripley off the ropes, a clothesline attempt ducked and Ripley boots Lexi right in the face! Ripley lifts Lexi off the mat with a two handed choke and hoists her in the air before slamming her into the canvas. Ripley covers but only a two. Ripley continues to dominate until Ripley charges at Kaufman in the corner but Lexi moves out of the way! Lexi drives her shoulders into Ripley before setting her up on the top rope. Lexi hits a big suplex from the top rope! Lexi covers but only gets a two count! Lexi hits a standing moonsault and covers but again only a two count. Lexi drags Ripley to the corner in a seated position. Lexi goes for the double knees to the face but Ripley gets a foot up, booting Lexi right in the mid-drift! Ripley takes advantage and attacks with knee strikes to the face followed by a neck breaker! Ripley then sets Kaufman up for the Riptide pump handle drop and connects!! Ripley hooks the legs, 1.......2.......3!

Ranallo: ”Ripley pretty dominant tonight! Lexi felt the anger that Ripley must be feeling after that disappointing result against BB Crawford on Sunday!”

McGuinness: ”I wouldn’t be surprised if Ripley was granted a rematch for the title in the near future, possibly at Battleground?”

We go backstage where AJ Styles is packing up his gear in the locker room. We see Prince Devitt enter the room. “Hey AJ what’s up man?” AJ grins and the two men embrace. AJ responds “Good to see you Prince.” Devitt asks AJ “Good to see you too. I gotta ask though, what’s the deal with Aleister? I mean last week he’s giving you a handshake, tonight he’s watching your match and asking you to join ‘The Anarchy’ whatever the hell that is. Not only that, Drew Galloway asked you if you wanted a spot in The Bullet Club last week! Is everything okay with you dude?” AJ scoffs “Yeah everything is fine Prince. I have no idea what Aleister is doing and as for The Bullet Club, that ship sailed years ago.” Prince smirks “Well just so you know, you’re more than welcome to join us in the fight against them. Myself, Karl and Doc are here if you need us. Remember if you wanna stand with us....the door’s open.” Devitt leaves the locker room and AJ just stands there with a smirk before continuing to pack up his stuff.

Ranallo: ”AJ Styles a man in demand at the moment! He has had offers from both the current Bullet Club and the OG Bullet Club to join them? Let alone with whatever Aleister is offering....”

McGuinness: ”I think AJ just needs some time to focus on his own career! He hasn’t had the best time so far in PWU, his win loss record isn’t great but saying that, he did pick up the win tonight! Who knows what’s going through AJ’s head right now?”

Nick Aldis (NWA World Champion) vs. Frankie Kazarian
The debut of Nick Aldis in PWU! Aldis attacks Kazarian at the bell with a big boot! Aldis doesn’t let up and hammers away with clubbing blows before hitting a backbreaker. Aldis looks in control, locking in a body scissors to Kazarian which takes it’s toll. Aldis whips Kazarian into the corner and charges but Kazarian gets the feet up into Aldis’ face! Kazarian then hits a nice running bulldog to Aldis. Kazarian gains some momentum and tries to keep Aldis grounded with a series of elbow drops. Kazarian hits a nice springboard leg drop which only gets him a two count! Kazarian goes for the TKO but Aldis reverses into a reverse DDT! Aldis takes over again and catches Kazarian with a big boot followed by a front slam! Aldis heads to the top rope and connects with a beautiful elbow drop! Aldis goes by the legs and locks in the Cloverleaf!! Kazarian tries to hang on but it’s too much and Nick Aldis picks up a fairly comfortable win on his debut!

Aldis poses with his title, but Jon Moxley hobbles over the barricade armed with a barbed wire bat!! Moxley climbs into the ring but Aldis is too quick and leaves through the other side of the ring! Moxley invites Aldis to get into the ring but Aldis continues to head towards the back.

Ranallo: ”Moxley wanted some revenge against Aldis after that beating he took earlier tonight!”

McGuinness: ”Aldis needs to thank his lucky stars that Moxley is less than one hundred percent or else his stint here in PWU could of been a very short one!!”

We go to a promo for the next pay per view, Battleground on June 27th!

We come back and CM Punk enters the arena! Punk involved in that brutal Sacrifice cage match still limping after suffering burns to his leg in his attempt to escape the cage. ‘CM Punk’ chants echo throughout the arena as Punk takes the microphone. “Last night I proved to the world why I deserve to be PWU World Champion. I put my body on the line and made the Sacrifice of being set alight all in the name of a PWU World Title shot. I also did what I said I’d do and defeat Jon Moxley and knock him down to his rightful position in this company, upper midcard at best. Now I have a decision to make in terms of when do I use my shot at the title? Well I’m challenging the winner of the title match next week to a match at Battleground! So either I’m gonna face Aleister, y’know the guy with dimmed lighting and talks in riddles which apparently makes him intimidating, or I face Drew Galloway who has put together a piss poor excuse of a stable that once dominated the wrestling world like just under a decade ago. One thing I do know, is that The Summer of Punk will return to PWU and this time there will be no bulls**t with cash ins, has-beens costing me matches or anything else, it’ll just be me standing before you all as your new PWU World Champion....” Punk throws the mic down as his music plays with cheers echoing around the arena. Punk motions that he’s gonna be the new champion before he leaves.

Ranallo: ”CM Punk sending a clear message to the PWU World Champion! Punk will face either Aleister or Drew Galloway at Battleground on June 27th for the World Championship!”

’The Spanish God’ Sammy Guevara vs. Senshi (non title match)
The Xcite champion in action against a veteran of the game, Senshi! This one starts at a lightning pace with many counters between the two men ending with Senshi taking control with a jumping enziguri kick to the back of Sammy’s head! Senshi waits for Guevara to get to his feet and Senshi delivers a spring board dropkick knocking down the champion! Senshi hits a standing moonsault and goes for the cover but only a two count. Senshi continues to strike Guevara with hard kicks in the corner before setting him up on the top rope. Senshi goes for a hurricarana but Guevera counters into a sit-out powerbomb from the second rope changing the complexion of this match! Guevara takes over on offense and hits Senshi with a nice delayed vertical suplex. Sammy covers but only a two count! Sammy then measures Senshi for the spring board cutter, but Senshi scouts it well and catches Guevara coming up with a diving reverse DDT! Huge impact, Senshi covers but only a two count. Senshi picks Guevara up and whips him into the corner and delivers a handspring kick right to the side of the head of Guevara! The champion is knocked senseless. Senshi waits for Guevara to get to his feet and goes for another kick but Guevara catches it and sweeps the legs into a pin with a bridge, 1.........2......no! Senshi kicks out! Guevara catches Senshi coming back at him with a huge lariat knocking Senshi inside out. Guevara waits again for Senshi to get to his feet and this time connects with the springboard cutter but only a two count! Guevara puts the boots to Senshi before dragging him to the corner. Guevara goes for the shooting star press and connects!! Guevara hooks the leg, 1.......2.......3! What a victory for Sammy Guevara!

Guevara celebrates his win, holding up his Xcite title above his head as he heads to the back but he is attacked from behind by Kevin Steen!!

Ranallo: ”What the hell Kevin Steen!? What business does he have with Sammy Guevara!?”

Steen continues his assault and delivers a powerbomb to Guevara on to the ring apron! Steen enters the ring and demands a microphone. “As I can no longer challenge for the World or International titles....I guess that leaves me only one option doesn’t it Sammy? I want your Xcite Championship....and I’m gonna take it.” Steen throws the microphone onto Guevara before heading up towards the back with Guevara favouring his back!

McGuinness: ”Kevin Steen is back with a vengeance....and he wants Sammy Guevara’s Xcite Championship! Stu Bennett will be furious!”

We go backstage where all five members of The Bullet Club are on their way to the ring!

When we come back from commercials, The Bullet Club make their way down to the ring led by Drew Galloway. The Club enter the ring and Galloway takes the microphone. “What a few days we have had! I mean honestly, nobody thought that at Spring Sacrifice, The Bullet Club would reign supreme and win all their matches! We started off with Nick and Matt beating DIY, solidifying them as the greatest tag team in wrestling today!! (The fans boo as The Young Bucks raise their titles above their heads) We then saw Britt Baker defeat Piper Niven on pay per view, we saw Adam Cole baybayy knock the hell out of Prince Devitt and then....oh and then......it was the cherry on top of the cake as I defeated Bobby Lashley and Aleister to retain my title! Now next week, I have to defend my title once again against Aleister. Now, am I pissed off about this? Yes. Am I worried? No. I already beat him on Sunday and history will repeat itself next week as I put Aleister out of commission and I retain my title. We have business to attend to though as I understand Prince Devitt has challenged us to a Battleground match at the Battleground pay per view. Well Devitt, we accept! We know that we can beat you and The Good Brothers, besides there’s only three of you but there’s five of us. I might need to pull double duty as I will be defending my title against Punk but if I need to do that, I will for the good of the Club! So at Battleground, you three will face the four of us! You must have a death wish cos you will be facing an easy execution courtesy of The Bullet Club! Now let’s get the hell out of here...” The Bullet Club go to leave but Prince Devitt comes out with The Good Brothers!!

“Whoa hold your horses there Drew. We’re glad you accept because we are going to show you why the original Bullet Club is the ONLY Bullet Club that matters! That reminds me......you won’t be facing the three of us at Battleground. We have our fourth member and you guys know him quite well.....”

The Bullet Club look confused as Kenny Omega’s music hits!!!!! Omega is back!! Kenny Omega stands next to Prince Devitt and The Good Brothers and the four men make their way down to the ring! All eight men face off in the ring and very quickly it turns in to a brawl! All eight men brawling in the ring, Omega hitting anything that moves!!

Ranallo: ”Kenny Omega is back!! and revenge is on his mind in the Battleground Match!!!

6th May 2021

The camera pans around the Petersen Events Centre in Pittsburgh, PA for a very special edition of Warfare as pyro goes off! Mauro Ranallo opens up the show.

Ranallo: ”Welcome to Championship Warfare!!! Tonight, the PWU World Championship will be on the line when Aleister challenges Drew Galloway!!”

McGuinness: ”A huge match there, plus the Women’s Championship in a rematch from Spring Sacrifice between BB Crawford and Rhea Ripley, Claudio Castagnoli’s open challenge for the PWU International Championship! We’re kicking off though with a tag team battle royal, the winners will challenge The Young Bucks later tonight! Let’s get to it!”

Tag Team Battle Royal (Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin, SCU, DIY, Good Brothers, Kross and Scherr, Gunn Club, Jake Hager and Sammy Guevara, Ricochet and Keith Lee)
The battle royal kicks off, mass brawling in the ring with all eight teams. Debut of the Gunn Club in this match, Austin and Colten as well as Ricochet and Keith Lee debuting as a team! The first elimination is Cedric and Shelton as Adam Scherr throws out Cedric with a gorilla press! Out next is the Gunn Club! Doc Gallows of the Good Brothers clotheslines Austin out of the ring. Six teams left and the fight continues. Next team eliminated is the Inner Circle’s Sammy Guevara and Jake Hager as Kevin Steen runs down to the ring! Steen slides into the ring and takes down Guevara followed by punches! Hager is occupied with Keith Lee, and Steen superkicks Guevara out and over the top rope! Steen high tails it out of there as Hager realises what happened to his partner. Five teams remain!! Keith Lee and Ricochet are the next team eliminated, Ricochet goes to the top rope to hit a diving hurricarana onto Killer Kross but Kross catches Ricochet in a powerbomb position and Ricochet is dumped to the outside! A double elimination occurs next as The Good Brothers and Kross and Scherr take each other out of the match!! Doc Gallows and Scherr both go over the top rope after a clothesline! The two teams brawl with each other all the way to the back! Two teams remain SCU and DIY! Both teams battle it out for several minutes, a back and forth encounter. In the closing moments, Witney tries to clothesline Kazarian out of the ring but both men land on the apron! Both men trade punches on the apron but Gargano superkicks Kazarian to the jaw but Kazarian somehow hangs on! Daniels then out of nowhere superkicks Witney to the face and Witney falls to the outside! SCU get the title match later! Gargano can’t believe it as SCU celebrate in the ring!

The Young Bucks appear on the stage and hold up their tag team title belts, the SCU motion that they are gonna take the titles later tonight.

Ranallo: ”Congratulations to SCU, Daniels and Kazarian with a huge opportunity later tonight to dethrone The Young Bucks!”

We go backstage where we see Sammy Guevara and Jake Hager in the office of Stu Bennett. “You see what Steen did to us out there! Why is he even coming for my title, he’s too fat to challenge me!” Bennett tries to calm Guevara down “Sammy, I’m sorry about what happened and trust me Steen will have to earn any title match against you. Unfortunately though, there is no weight limit in the Xcite division meaning he could challenge you.” Sammy looks annoyed “So he can just challenge me now!? We’re letting anybody fight for my title, hell I may as well do an open challenge too then!” Bennett looks at Guevara “Look Sammy, for Steen to gain a shot at your title, next week Kevin Steen will face Jake Hager. We both know that Steen won’t survive that and if Steen loses, then he will not be challenging for your title.” Sammy looks slightly happier as Hager smirks.

Up next we see the International Champion, Claudio Castagnoli enter the arena to a huge ovation. ‘Castagnoli’ chants break out as Castagnoli grabs a microphone. “Thanks guys appreciate it. It’s that timeeee of the week again where I cement my claim as the greatest pro wrestler in the world and successfully defend my International Championship! So come on out here and make a name for yourself....” after waiting a few moments, Nick Aldis music hits!!! The NWA World Champion could be a double champion tonight!

Ranallo: ”Nothing says championship warfare better than two champions facing each other! This should be awesome!”

McGuinness: ”I don’t think Castagnoli was expecting somebody who is already a World Champion to challenge him!”

Nick Aldis vs. Claudio Castagnoli (c) - (PWU International Championship)
The match starts with both men locking up, Castagnoli with a go behind followed by a waistlock takedown. Claudio transitions into a headlock, Aldis gets to his feet, sets Castagnoli off the ropes, leapfrog then hits a huge dropkick to Castagnoli! Aldis follows up with a series of quick punches to the head and backs Claudio into the corner before putting the boots to him. Aldis goes for a corner clothesline but Castagnoli hits him with an elbow followed by a clothesline and then a body slam. Castagnoli lands a knee drop and covers but only a two count! Claudio continues his assault and goes for a sidewalk slam but Aldis blocks it and connects with a Russian leg sweep. Aldis back to his feet picks Claudio up and executes a beautiful vertical suplex. Aldis covers, 1.....2....only a two. Aldis keeps Claudio grounded with a body scissors. Aldis keeps the pressure on for a while but Claudio eventually gets to his knees and then his feet while the body scissors is still applied! Claudio then drops Aldis with a falling slam, dropping all his weight on to Aldis! Both men down momentarily, Castagnoli first to his feet. Claudio lifts Aldis from behind while Aldis is on his knees, followed by a deadlift german suplex into a pin, 1.....2......no!! Aldis rolls the shoulder up!

Castagnoli takes out Aldis’ legs and goes for the big swing but Aldis counters into a roll up, 1....2....kick out! Aldis and Claudio hit each other with a double clothesline and both men are down again. Aldis gets to his feet first and charges with a clothesline. Aldis picks Claudio up and hits a fall forward slam near the ropes. Aldis goes up to the top rope for the elbow drop but Jon Moxley appears! Moxley runs down to ringside and gets on the ring apron causing Aldis to climb down from the top rope. Aldis charges but Moxley climbs down from the apron. This distraction allows Castagnoli to get a schoolboy roll up on Aldis, 1........2.........3!!

Aldis is furious!! Moxley backs away up the aisle as Castagnoli leaves the ring area with his title reign still in tact!

Ranallo: ”Moxley just outsmarted Nick Aldis and Claudio Castagnoli has pinned the NWA World Champion to retain his title!”

McGuinness: ”A huge feather in the cap of Claudio Castagnoli! Still the International Champion with a little help from Jon Moxley!”

We see a promo video for the PWU Battleground on June 27th!

When we come back we see Bobby Lashley backstage talking to Shelton Benjamin. Lashley is interrupted by Matt Riddle! “Brooo....just wanted to ask you what it’s like to be here at Championship Warfare but not actually holding a title after being so close to winning the World Championship? I’m sorry you lost dude....” Lashley looks furious and knocks Riddle to the concrete! Lashley picks him up and throws him into a wall! Lashley walks off and Shelton Benjamin shakes his head and walks away.

Ranallo: ”Well...not quite sure what Matt Riddle was thinking there getting on the wrong side of Bobby Lashley who has been in a foul mood since losing at Spring Sacrifice!”

McGuinness: ”Well I think Riddle may keep his thoughts to himself now after that beating from Lashley!”

Rhea Ripley vs. BB Crawford (c) - (PWU Women’s Championship)
These two women start the match face to face with Ripley pie facing Crawford away twice. BB slaps Rhea and off we go, the two ladies slugging it out!

Ripley rolls out of the ring for a few moments but BB comes flying at her with a suicide dive through the middle rope taking Ripley to the floor! BB tries to ram Ripley’s head into the barricade but Ripley throws BB back first into the steel!

BB wastes no time and hits a standing moonsault followed by a standing frog splash. BB feels the end is near and goes for the KOD but Ripley lands on her feet and clocks BB with a forearm before hitting a reverse spinebuster, BB landing hard on her front again! Ripley goes to the legs and locks in the Prism Trap!!! BB has nowhere to go!! Suddenly from the crowd a masked woman armed with a steel chair rolls into the ring and levels Rhea Ripley from behind with the chair!

The referee calls for a DQ as this masked woman then waits for BB to get to her feet and delivers a jumping tornado DDT! Security arrive to get this unknown masked woman out of the ring but the damage is done and BB Crawford retains her women’s championship by DQ!

Ranallo: ”Who the hell was that!? Whoever it was just attacked both Rhea Ripley and the women’s champion BB Crawford!”

McGuinness: ”Hopefully that woman will be prosecuted, we have no idea who she is and shes ruined a very good match!”

We go backstage where Kayla is standing by with the PWU World Heavyweight Champion, Drew Galloway. She asks him if any nerves are creeping in ahead of his title defence against Aleister later tonight. Drew responds “Why would I be nervous? I beat Aleister and Bobby Lashley at the same time at Spring Sacrifice. Tonight it’s just Aleister. You should be asking Aleister if he’s nervous about facing me! I’m the leader of The Bullet Club, the most dominant group in professional wrestling today and the World Heavyweight Champion. That’s exactly how it’s gonna remain heading in to Battleground. As for you CM Punk, you better keep your nose out of this one and we will deal with you at Battleground.”

Bobby Lashley vs. Santana w/Ortiz
Lashley comes out of the starting blocks fast and hits Santana with a spear at the bell. Lashley then whips Santana hard into the corner and drives his shoulders into Santana’s mid section before executing an overhead belly to belly throw.

Ortiz swings and hits Lashley numerous times and both men take Lashley down! Santana and Ortiz work on Lashley but out of nowhere we see Matt Riddle!! Riddle rushes to the ring and takes out Ortiz with a spinning kick! Riddle then throws Santana with a judo flip. Santana and Ortiz leave the ring area. Riddle helps Lashley to his feet before leaving the ring. Lashley looks confused and pissed off. Riddle looks up at Lashley as if to apologise for earlier.

Ranallo: ”I think Riddle had a guilty conscience for what happened earlier! Lashley looks like he wants nothing to do with Matt Riddle though!”

McGuinness: ”Well he either has a guilty conscience or he wants to worm his way into Lashley’s good books! I mean I wouldn’t want Bobby Lashley to be pissed at me either!”

We go backstage where Kayla is standing by with Aleister. She asks him about the upcoming title match as well as what’s the deal with him and AJ Styles? Aleister responds “Tonight is about me fulfilling my promise. I know that I am the chosen one and I know I am here to sit on top of the PWU mountain so I don’t worry. I know my path and I know that everything happens for a reason. My path is already laid out. Tonight the anarchy will takeover and my mission will almost be completed. As for AJ? I have faith he will find his way home. Join the anarchy AJ.....come home.....” Aleister looks directly in the camera before grinning.

Ranallo: ”Aleister not worried about Drew Galloway as he apparently knows it’s his destiny to win the title but he wants AJ Styles to come home? What does he mean by that!?”

McGuinness: ”I’m not too sure but if I’m AJ Styles I don’t think I’d wanna get involved with Aleister, that man is dangerous.”

SCU (Daniels and Kazarian) vs. The Young Bucks (c) - (PWU Tag Team Championships)
This one starts off at a quick pace, Daniels and Nick Jackson start the match off with some nice quick counter wrestling.

Daniels springboards on to Nick who is on the outside but Matt rolls up Kazarian inside the ring, 1.........2.........3!! The Young Bucks retain!

Ranallo: ”Damnit! The referee lost control in that one, was Kazarian even the legal man!?”

McGuinness: ”I’m not sure but if he can make a cover, he can also be pinned! Smart move from The Young Bucks there! Maybe it’s a good omen for The Bullet Club ahead of Drew Galloway’s title defence!”

Ranallo: ”That maybe so Nigel. By the way I have received word from Stu Bennett’s office that matches have been announced for next week’s Warfare! We will see Kenny Omega return to action next week against The Bullet Club’s Adam Cole! Also next week, after what happened in the tag team battle royal earlier tonight, The Good Brothers will face Scherr and Kross in tag team action! Bobby Lashley will be teaming with Matt Riddle to face Santana and Ortiz next week and Andrade will be in action! All that on top of the announcement earlier that Kevin Steen will be up against Jake Hager, if Steen wins he will get a shot at Sammy Guevara’s Xcite Championship!”

McGuinness: ”Wow a huge night next week! The real question is though, who will be walking in to next week’s Warfare as the World Champion. We’re gonna find out next!”

We see a split screen with Aleister and Drew Galloway walking backstage making their way separately towards the arena area.
