[“Imperial March” reverberates throughout the arena and a video package flies by on the screen.

And finally…. A dais with a throne upon it and Lindsay Troy sitting front and center, leaning back and staring right into the camera.

Then…

BOOM!!

The stage is illuminated by a veritable bonanza of booming pyrotechnics as the camera pans over the crowd, cuts to the ring from a wide angle, then concludes its journey with a smash cut to the broadcast team.]

The camera pans backstage to see Omega still walking around looking for Barb. He continues down the hallway as he comes up to one of the EPW technicians. Omega grabs the young man by his collar.

OMEGA: Have you seen Barb?

The young man with a look of fear on his face shook is head no. But Omega didn’t let the man go from his grasp. He looked into the man’s eyes before speaking again.

OMEGA: They said you are lying to me. I don’t like to be lied to. I think you know exactly where Frankie has taken my Barb.

The technician shaking in his shoes didn’t know what to expect next as Omega’s eyes filled with rage within a matter of seconds.

TECHNICIAN: So—Sor-- Sorry Omega. I have no idea where Barb or Frankie is.

Omega looked around as he started to attract a crowd. The other technicians and some EPW officials were now trying to calm the craziest bastard in wrestling down.

OMEGA: I know Barb is near. I can feel her presence. So that means you are not telling me everything that you know young man. They don’t like to be manipulated, so that means that you will have to be taught a lesson in honesty.

Omega looked to inflict some damage onto the technician when he heard someone call his name from behind.

VOICE: OMEGA…. Drop him.

Omega turned around and saw Frankie Scott standing there with Barb in his hands, taunting Omega to come to him. He looked as if he was going to rush at Frankie but he stopped. Frankie looked confused as Omega smiled.

FRANKIE: You want Barb back, psycho. Then come and get her.

Omega started to move closer to Frankie as the EPW officials stepped in front of him trying to hold the six foot eight, almost three hundred pounder back. Suddenly another voice was heard as the head honcho of EPW, Lindsay Troy, stepped in between the two men.

TROY: The both of you are doing a fantastic job of making my ever-thinning patience nearly threadbare. If you want to rip each other to shreds, you can do it to your heart's content at the pay-per-view.

Both men looked on as Troy continued.

TROY: As far as tonight goes, I'm barring both of you from ringside for each other's match. If you think you're going to try and get cute with it, not only will you be suspended indefinitely, but I'll see to it that Wong Pei gets his first win here at your expense before you make your way out the door. Am I being crystal clear here?

There's a very slight nod of understanding from Omega and Frankie.

TROY: Great. Now, don't you have matches to prep for?

Frankie turned with Barb and headed to the ring for his match against Stone. Omega on the other hand smiled as he walked down the hall to get ready for his match later. There was definitely evil intent in those eyes as the camera faded out.


"PHENOMENAL" Frankie Scott vs. Damian Stone


This intense matchup took place with a little less tension than the last meeting of these two, with Omega barred from ringside. Stone took the early advantage, keeping control of Scott early on. But Scott turned the tide, hitting a tilt-a-while DDT off of a reversed Irish Whip and surprised Stone with his cradle piledriver, the Phenom Drop – for the win.

Winner: “Phenomenal” Frankie Scott


J.A. vs. Omega


The former champion took on the big man, Omega and was part of the surprise of the night. Whether due to fatigue or lingering injury issues from Unleashed, JA simply was not himself as he lumbered around the ring with less than the usual pep in his step despite the hometown crowd. Omega used his power to keep Scott at bay and with Frankie Scott absent from the proceedings, was able to truly showcase his ability for the first time. Omega pinned the former EPW World Champion after hitting his finisher, The End (an Argentine Backbreaker into a lifting spinning neckbreaker) for the win, leaving the crowd…and JA….stunned.

Winner: Omega
