Straight into the action this week as The Motor City Machine Guns are making their entrance. Their opponents, The Rock 'n' Rave Infection, are already in the ring.


The Rock 'n' Rave Infection
vs.

The Motor City Machine Guns

Jimmy Rave was isolated but held his own for the first few minutes against the double team attacks of the Machine Guns. Rave blocked Sabin's early Cradle Shock attempt by hitting a reverse DDT. Rave managed to get the big man Lance Hoyt in as a result. Hoyt cleaned house. Sabin received a Pump Handle Slam then Shelley was on the wrong end of a yakuza kick. Hoyt lay Shelley atop of Sabin before tagging Rave back in.

Jimmy Rave ascended the ropes & went for a Frog Splash. Shelley got out of the way but Sabin got hit full on. Shelley ducked the attempted clothesline from Hoyt & hit a basement dropkick to take out the knee of Lance Hoyt. Shelley grabbed the hurt Hoyt & hit him with The Shell Shock. Shelley got back to his feet & ate a super kick from Jimmy Rave. Rave then Snap Suplexed Shelley before again going to the top rope.

Rave took too long & it gave Chris Sabin an opening. Sabin bounced off the ropes to crotch Rave. Sabin then hoisted Rave from the top rope onto his shoulders. Sabin maneuvered Rave & hit the Cradle Shock. Sabin makes the cover & gets the three count for the win.

Result: Motor City Machine Guns via Pinfall.

The Machine Guns cant celebrate for long as Lance Hoyt has recovered enough to hit a double clothesline from behind. Hoyt then sent Sabin shoulder first into the ringpost before making Shelley fly. Hoyt Military Pressed Alex Shelley before dumping him out of the ring.

Not to let The Rock 'n' Rave Infection get the last word in, Sonjay Dutt & Shark Boy hit the ring. Both men went after Hoyt & took him down. Shark Boy hit the Chummer on the slowly recovering Jimmy Rave before he & Sonjay sent Hoyt out of the ring with a double Dropkick. Sonjay quickly checks on Sabin in the corner before helping him to his feet only to turn on him. Sonjay hits a kick to the midsection before Shark Boy hit The Chummer again. Sabin rolls out of the ring to leave Sonjay Dutt & Shark Boy standing.

Both men go to the middle ropes in opposite corners to celebrate their dominance. Elix Skipper & Senshi have other plans however. Triple xXx hit the ring at lightening speed & quickly dump Sonjay out of the ring. Senshi hits Shark Boy from behind with a Mule Kick to send him crashing chest first into the corner. Skipper follows up with a running bulldog to take Shark Boy down. Shark Boy slowly gets to his knees before Senshi takes his head off with a Roundhouse Kick. Triple xXx are now the only team left standing.



We go to the Parking Lot next where Austin Aries has just arrived, interestingly with Ms. Brooks. As Aries & Brooks head towards the locker rooms, Brother Ray jumps Aries from behind. Ray rams Aries into a brick wall before bouncing his skull off a parked car. Ray clubs Aries in the back then hits a Powerbomb on the concrete knocking Aries out cold. Ray goes over to Ms. Brooks & tells her that is just the beginning. That was just for Devon, his own revenge is still to come. Ray turns & heads towards the locker rooms as Ms. Brooks checks on Aries.



Next up is Crystal with her guests Angelina Love & Raisha Saeed. Crystal starts to talk but Saeed cuts her off. Saeed then says she has a prepared statement from Awesome Kong. Before Saeed can proceed Angelina love grabs the paper & rips it up. Love tells Saeed she knows who she is & what she is up to. Love goes on to say at Lockdown, she will expose Saeed as the liar she is. Love flicks back her hair & walks away from the interview set. Saeed stares at Crystal before walking off also.

Jerry Lynn makes his way to the ring next for his match against Booker T. As Lynn gets to the ring, a video plays showing highlights of his match against Kaz last week & the following handshake between the two. His opponent tonight, is unlikely to do the same. Booker T makes his way to the ring to a wave of jeers & boos. Booker shrugs the negative reaction off & gets into the ring.


Booker T
vs.

Jerry Lynn

Despite his best efforts, Booker T could not keep Jerry Lynn down for more than a two count. After several near falls Booker lost his cool. Booker delivered a superkick to Referee Andrew Thomas as he was checking the condition of Lynn. With the ref down, Booker hit a low blow on Lynn. With his opponent down, Booker went outside & brought back a steel chair. Booker smashes Lynn across the back with the chair before wrapping it around the head of Lynn.

Booker disposed of the evidence before dragging a lifeless Lynn to his feet. Booker then hit Lynn with The Book End. Booker covered Lynn but Andrew Thomas is still not moving. Booker gets up & drags Thomas to his feet. Booker starts to shake Thomas in an unsuccessful attempt to revive the man he knocked out minutes ago. Giving up Booker dumped Thomas out of the ring & called for another ref. Before long Brian Hebner has run to the ring. Booker again pins Lynn but gets no count.

Brian Hebner has come out to check on Andrew Thomas, not make the pin. Booker signals for someone else to come from the back, this time however, its Black Reign. Reign gets to ringside & drives Darkness Falls into the back of the head of Brian Hebner. Reign drags both men by their shirts up the ramp & backstage.

In the ring, Jerry Lynn is on one knee. Booker turns & on instinct hits him with an Axe Kick. Booker covers but remembers their is no ref. Booker is clearly frustrated as he calls for another ref. Instead, he gets Kaz coming down the ramp. Kaz climbs onto the ring apron as Booker slowly back up. Kaz stares down Booker before entering the ring. Booker turns to run but gets a kick in the gut from Lynn. Lynn uses all his strength to hit Booker with a Cradle Piledriver. Lynn falls ontop of Booker & Kaz pulls off his shirt to reveal a Black & White stripped shirt. Kaz makes the count as Jerry Lynn gets the win.

Result: Jerry Lynn via pinfall.

Kaz quickly raises the hand of Lynn in victory. Lynn soaks in the crowds positive response to his victory before dropping to roll out of the ring. Kaz starts to follow but stops. Kaz looks back at Booker who is trying to get to his knees. Kaz gets back into the ring & waits for Booker to rise. When Booker gets to both knees Kaz charges & hits a Pump Kick that sends the former World Champion out of the ring hard. Kaz again leaves the ring & is met with a smile of approval from Jerry Lynn.



A video airs next wherein James Mitchell answers Rhino's challenge from last Week for Lockdown. Mitchell puts it bluntly in his rejection of the match. Mitchell does however offer Rhino a chance to get the match another way. Next week on iMPACT! James Mitchell wants Rhino to run a gauntlet. If he survives he can have any match he can imagine for Lockdown, if he loses, he can never be involved in a match containing one of Mitchell's monsters ever again.

The Outlaw is out next to the usual negative response as he prances down to the ring. Kevin Nash follows not far behind. After a slight delay BG James entrance music plays. BG comes about halfway down the ramp before doing the introduction himself. BG does an introduction very similar to the one he did over ten years ago. BG introduces The Alpha Male Monty Brown. Brown's entrance music plays but he is nowhere to be seen. BG tries again but gets the same result. The Outlaw & Kevin Nash are clearly enjoying the situation as they haven't stopped laughing in the ring. BG heads backstage looking rather annoyed at the no-show.

After a couple of minutes it becomes apparent that the match isn't going to happen. When The outlaw & Kevin Nash exit the ring to go backstage a loud Bullshit chant is heard from the iMPACT! Zone as they show their disapproval. The crowd is still booing when BG James appears on the big screen talking on his cell phone backstage. BG is heard asking Where are you? Followed by What do you mean you want more money? We already agreed! After some more arguing BG seems to give in & asks if he will be here next week. BG hangs up in a slightly better mood.



Jeff Jarrett & Scott Steiner are shown next. They are standing outside Johnny Devine's locker room & seem to be arguing. Steiner is heard saying We can't trust him. He's Canadian. Everyone knows you cant trust Canadians. Jarrett says he wants to find out for himself. With that Jarrett pushes past Steiner & into Devine's locker room. Devine jumps up & quickly closes his cell phone upon the intrusion. Devine asks if it was too much trouble to knock first. Steiner says it was.

Jarrett shushes Steiner & asks Devine upfront why he helped them last week. Devine jokingly replies by saying he felt a moral obligation to help his fellow man. Steiner is clearly not amused as he grabs Devine by his shirt & pins him to the wall before demanding a proper answer. Devine says he wanted to show up Team Canada for the way they tried to act like they were still his friends when in reality they abandoned him when he got injured. Devine goes on to say he didn't receive one phone call asking how he was & that made him see Team Canada for what they really are. Liars who will drop you when you get hurt but try & get you back when they are hurt.

Devine asks if that's all. Jarrett says it is before offering his hand in friendship & apology. Jarrett then leaves the room leaving Steiner & Devine. Devine offers a handshake but Steiner just slaps his hand instead before leaving.



Before we get back to the action Jazz is in Jim Cornette's office. Jazz asks for a match against Kong at Lockdown for the Knockouts title. Cornette refuses & says the best he can offer her is a tag match. Jazz & Angelina Love against Awesome Kong & Raisha Saeed. Jazz doesn't seem impressed as she questions who is actually running this show if that's the best he can do. Jazz leaves disappointed with what she got while Cornette is stunned in silence.



Back in the arena & Homicide has made his way to the ring along with Shelley Martinez. Homicide again takes a seat at the commentary table while Shelley Martinez joins the Spanish announce team. Matt Bentley is first out. He is quick to the ring & is quickly over to Homicide. Bentley makes a title belt motion around his waist as his opponent is introduced. Kid Kash is one down & has to win tonite. Kash wastes no time in charging to the ring to get the match started.

Match Two in Best of Three Series.


Kid Kash
vs.

Matt Bentley

Bentley thought he had the win when he hit Head on Collision from out of nowhere. Despite the perfect connection, Kash kicked out at two & 99/100ths. Bentley tries to think of something else to throw at kash & decides on going up high. Bentley took Kash down again with a suplex before climbing the ropes. Bentley is on the top when Homicide jumps up & pulls Bentley's leg to make his lose his balance. With Bentley prone on the top rope Kash recovers enough to climb up to him. Kash then hoists Bentley up into the air for a Superplex but instead drops Bentley straight down with The Dead Level from the top rope. Kash crawls ontop of Bentley & gets the three count to tie the scores at one a piece.

Result: Kid Kash via Pinfall.

Kash is slow to get to his feet but then he is helped up by Homicide. Homicide raises Kash arm in victory before kicking him in the stomach & quickly hitting a Gringo Cutter. Homicide stands over both his potential opponents for Lockdown as his raises his X-Division title above his head.



We go backstage to Team Canada's locker room now where it is the turn of Petey Williams & Scott D'Amore to argue. Petey tells D'Amore to get his head out of his ass Devine isn't falling for it this time. D'Amore says to give it time but Petey isn't interested & he storms off.




The camera quickly cuts to the parking lot where The Naturals are beating down Brother Ray. Ray has had his arms handcuffed behind his back so he is defenceless to the free shots both Naturals are hitting. Ms. Brooks is barking out orders from nearby. Chase Stevens continues to lay into Ray with punches while Andy Douglas opens a gym bag & pulls out two lead pipes. Douglas hands one to Stevens & they go either side of the prone Brother Ray. Ms. Brooks counts them down & on cue they both smash Brother Ray in the head with the pipes. Ray falls forward lifeless as blood begins to flow from the side of his head. Ms. Brooks walks over to Ray & puts her foot on his head & presses down. Brooks then says that was for Austin. Brooks steps on Ray's head as the three walk off & leave Ray in a pool of blood.

The Main Event is next on iMPACT! Its the captain of one team against the Vice Captain of the other as The Fallen Angel Christopher Daniels takes on The Phenomenal AJ Styles.

Styles is first out & he's not alone. He's got Christian Cage & America's Most Wanted with him. Daniels does the same & doesn't come alone. Daniels has brought Sting & Eric Young with him since he is still a man short for Lethal Lockdown.


AJ Styles
vs.

Christopher Daniels

After nearly twenty minutes of high velocity, high impact, back & forth wrestling that has seen both men kick out of their opponents finisher as well as their own finisher. Daniels his Styles with a Styles Clash while Styles hit Daniels with an Angle Wings. As the fatigue starts to set in both men start mistiming moves. Daniels missed a BME, then Styles missed a Frog Splash. With both men down it blew up on the outside. James Storm ignited it by spitting beer at Sting. Eric Young was quick to get involved as was Chris Harris & Christian Cage. Earl Hebner left the ring to break up the mass brawl that has broken out. Hebner had no chance & called for security. The five men fought off security before resuming the brawl.

Meanwhile in the ring AJ Styles has hit a Pay Lay & gone to the top rope. Styles comes off & hits the Spiral Tap but their is no ref. Styles tries to call Hebner back but Hebner cant hear him. A frustrated Styles kicks the bottom rope before turning back to the match at hand.

Instead of turning back to Daniels, Styles turned & got a steel chair to the skull. The chair is thrown from the ring as the returning Tomko drags Daniels over to Styles & puts him on top. Tomko leaves the ring & heads back up the free entrance tunnel. Hebner finally makes it back to the ring where he counts Styles down & names Christopher Daniels the winner.

Result: Christopher Daniels via Pinfall.

America's Most Wanted, Sting, Eric Young & Christian Cage continue to brawl while Tomko stands atop the ramp way as we go off the air.
