“WARRIOR” HITS AS THE OPENING MONTAGE ROLLS AND FIREWORKS EXPLODE THROUGHOUT THE ARENA.
James Robinson: Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the next step on the road to Lethal Lottery where several lethal lottery qualifying matches take place.
Dan Wilson: That’s right, and in addition to that, two competitors who will compete for the TV title at Lethal Lottery in a ladder match, will fight in a tables match here tonight.
SATAN’S SON THEME HITS AS HE COMES OUT ALONG WITH LUTHER REIGNS TO A LOT OF BOOS.
James Robinson: That’s right but coming up right now will be a singles match between Satan’s Son and Carl James.
Dan Wilson: Yeah, the two will fight each other in a tag match at Lethal Lottery for the tag team titles, but tonight we get to see them square off in singles competition.
AIMES N’ JAMES’ MUSIC HITS AS THEY COME OUT TO A NICE POP.
Carl James w/ Austin Aimes vs. Satan’s Son w/ Luther Reigns
Carl James used his size to his advantage in this match against the much bigger Satan’s Son. After ducking a clothesline, he springboarded off the middle rope and flew back with a crossbody on Satan’s Son. Carl James stayed on top for the early cover but Satan’s Son threw him off before 1. Carl James tried to not let Satan’s Son get up, stomping on him repeatedly before delivering a running low drop kick. He then went into a camel clutch position, but Satan’s Son just stood up and threw James off of him before hitting a clothesline that turned Carl James inside out. From here Satan’s Son took control and after hitting a massive spinebuster, he got into a headlock. After cinching it in real tight, the crowd came alive for the native of Jamaica who then got to his feet and elbowed his way out of it. Satan’s Son however kicked him right in the midsection before running at him with a boot, but Carl James rolled out of the way and Satan’s Son’s foot got caught over the top rope. From here Carl James kicked Satan’s Son in the back of the head, knocking him out of the ring. CJ then climbed up to the top rope and jumped off with a diving spear, but Luther Reigns literally dove and shoved Satan’s Son out of the way, causing Carl James to crash and burn hard. Satan’s Son then rolled Carl James into the ring as Austin Aimes ran around the ring and began trading shots with Luther Reigns. Satan’s Son then lifted Carl James up in the ring with a Downward Spiral to score the 3 count.
Match Time: 9:02
Dan Wilson: Look at that, Satan’s Son just gained his team a lot of momentum with Lethal Lottery in the horizon.
James Robinson: Yeah Luther Reigns had to cheat to allow Satan’s Son capitalize and get the victory.
Dan Wilson: Cheating? Did the ref call the bell? I don’t think so, that’s called good strategy, not cheating.
AUSTIN AIMES ROLLED INTO THE RING TO CHECK OUT CARL JAMES AS SATAN’S SON SLID OUT OF THE RING AND HE AND LUTHER REIGNS LEFT THE ARENA WITH A BIG SMILE ON THEIR FACES AS THE SHOT CUT OUT TO DUSTIN STERN’S OFFICE WHERE JENNIE FINCH IS SITTING.
Jennie Finch: You wanted to see me?
Dustin Stern: Yeah as you know next Aggression will be live in Las Vegas, Nevada, so I was thinking every match be contested in rules that will be decided with a roulette prior to the match. So I’d like you to spread that to the locker room, and in addition to that, let Jon Stern know that doctors have told Mark Coleman not to come out of retirement to fight him in a UFC rules match at Lethal Lottery, but a replacement will be announced later tonight in a contract signing.
Jennie Finch: Sounds good Mr. Commissioner.

BACK AT RINGSIDE SHANNON MOORE AND BIG EVIL NATE ARE SHOWN GETTING LOOSE IN THE RING.
Dan Wilson: Well coming up next is the very first Battle Bowl preliminary round qualifying match and it will be competed by teams selected at random.
James Robinson: Talk about random, look at this unorthodox duo of the 7 feet tall Big Evil Nate and the Prince of Punk Shannon Moore.
“HE’S A HONKY TONK MAN” IS HEARD AS DYLAN PAGE PULLS OUT IN HIS PINK CADDILAC WITH HONKY TONK MAN SITTING IN THE BACKSEAT, AND BESIDE DYLAN PAGE IS AARON STEVENS SITTING SHOTGUN.
Dan Wilson: Two very unorthodox tag teams, lets see how they fare against one another.
Dylan Page and Aaron Stevens vs. Shannon Moore and Big Evil Nate
Dylan Page and Shannon Moore kicked things off and put on a quick 3 minute wrestling clinic, back and forth chain wrestling at its finest, and the crowd loved it. This ended however when Shannon Moore climbed to the top rope, about to jump off with an attack but Big Evil Nate slapped Shannon Moore in the back, tagging himself in which drew a lot of boos. Big Evil Nate climbed in and clotheslined Page inside out. Nate then lifted him up by the throat and threw him in the corner before following in with a massive splash. Nate then used the ropes as leverage and choked Page with his foot. Nate then lifted Page up and threw him like a rag doll to his corner, allowing him to tag in Aaron Stevens, who Big Evil Nate put on the shelf just under a year ago. Stevens seemed hesitant but climbed into the ring and when he did so, Big Evil Nate ran at him with a head of steam, but Stevens dodged and Nate ran right into the corner before Stevens rolled him up from behind. However Shannon Moore ran in and kicked Stevens off. This brought in Dylan Page who then ran at Aaron Stevens with a clothesline that took them both over the top rope and out of the ring. However this left Aaron Stevens vulnerable and when he turned around, Big Evil Nate ran him over with a boot to face that shook the arena. Nate then covered Stevens with his foot and when Dylan Page tried sliding in the ring, Shannon Moore pulled him back out by his feet, allowing the ref to register the 3 count.
Match Time: 6:53
James Robinson: Jeez, talk about sending a message to the champ.
Dan Wilson: Well Big Evil Nate punched his ticket for himself and Shannon Moore to fight at Lethal Lottery with a chance at advancing to the Battle Bowl, and then potentially a title shot.
James Robinson: Well the champ better watch out because Lethal Lottery may prove to be the end of this short title reign.
BACKSTAGE JENNIE FINCH STANDS BY WITH SEBASTIAN X.
Jennie Finch: Sebastian X, last we saw you was on a recent Rampage where the team of you, Jeremy Dart, and Troy the Terrible of Asylum fell victim to Joe Diano, Chris Kaos, and Johnny Hazard, causing Jeremy Dart to be forced to leave SMW and compete on Asylum.
Sebastian X: Yeah that’s right but does it look like I care? Sebastian X watches out for one man, and that man is Sebastian X. I am more focused than ever, and perhaps have a future title shot. I wasn’t pinned on Rampage, and therefore my supremacy was never questioned. However a loss is a loss and that’s why tonight I’m going to bounce back into the W column and show to the world why they should fear Sebastian X.

JOE DIANO’S MUSIC HITS AND A NEW PYRO DISPLAY IN WHICH GREEN PYRO SHOOTS UP THE RAMP STARTING AT THE BOTTOM, AND CONCLUDES WITH A BIG EXPLOSION ON THE STAGE HITS. DIANO COMES OUT HOLDING THE SMW WORLD TITLE TO EASILY THE LARGEST POP OF THE NIGHT. WHEN HE ENTERS THE RING HE GRABS A MICROPHONE, BUT IT TAKES A MINUTE FOR THE CROWD TO CALM DOWN BEFORE HE BEGINS SPEAKING.
Joe Diano: Before last Aggression, I had planned to come out here and laugh at the fact that JJ Ramplin is no longer on the roster. However after a turn of events involving Jake Diamond, that is no longer the case. You see, if Ramplin didn’t win the match between he and I for the SMW Championship, then Ramplin would be forced to leave the roster. Jake Diamond stuck his nose into the match when he came out and cleared the ring… with a steel chair might I add, forcing the ref to call the DQ. Well I think that’s B.S. JJ Ramplin deserved fair competition and a fair shot at this title because although god knows he and I hated each other, the hatred didn’t take away for the utmost respect I had for him as a wrestler. I’ve talked to Mr. Corey as well as Commissioner Stern to allow JJ Ramplin one more shot, but the contract stated that Ramplin had to win the match, which he did not. Therefore I’m calling out that punk Jake Diamond right here, right now.
“HE’S A HONKY TONK MAN” IS HEARD AND JAKE DIAMOND COMES OUT TO THE STAGE. DIAMOND HAS A BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE, WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN AN UNKNOWN MAN WITH AN INCREDIBLE PHYSIQUE COMES OUT FROM THE CROWD AND ATTACKED DIANO FROM BEHIND. AFTER THE MAN BEAT HIM DOWN, JAKE DIAMOND SLID INTO THE RING AND ASKED THE MAN TO HOLD DIANO UP. DIAMOND THEN MULE KICKS A DEFENSELESS JOE DIANO IN THE GROIN BEFORE PICKING UP THE BELT AND HITTING HIM IN THE FACE WITH IT, BUSTING HIM OPEN.
(Commercial Break)
BACKSTAGE JAKE DIAMOND AND THE UNKNOWN MAN WHO JUST LED THE ASSAULT ON JOE DIANO APPROACH HONKY TONK MAN AND DYLAN PAGE WHO ARE HOLDING CHAMPAGNE BOTTLES, ALONG WITH 4 ATTRACTIVE WOMEN.
Jake Diamond: And now officially, the newest member of the Diamond Express… Chris Rombola.
Chris Rombola: I want to thank you guys for giving me the honor of fighting at your side. I’ve been training long and hard for this day, and now that it’s finally here… let’s party!
HONKY TONK MAN AND DYLAN PAGE OPEN THE CHAMPAGNE BOTTLES AS CHRIS ROMBOLA SLAPS HANDS WITH DYLAN PAGE AND THE HONKY TONK MAN AND THE SHOT GOES BACK TO RINGSIDE WHERE HASSAD IS STANDING IN THE RING GETTING LOOSE.
James Robinson: Look at that, Chris Rombola who is a remarkable piece of talent and has trained all over the world has arrived in SMW.
Dan Wilson: And what a way to spoil his debut eh, joining up with that lousy excuse for a stable known as the Diamond Express.
BONE COLLECTOR’S MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A SOLID CHEER.
James Robinson: Well Commissioner Stern has decided that since Jeremy Dart has been moved to Asylum, Low Ki will take his place in the ladder match at Lethal Lottery.
Dan Wilson: Yeah well Bone Collector and Hassad are also going to take part in the match at Lethal Lottery and they will fight right now in a tables match.
James Robinson: The remaining members of the 6-way ladder match will be decided next Aggression.
Table Match: Hassad vs. Bone Collector
As Bone Collector made his way to the ring, Hassad dove through the top and middle rope with a suicide dive that took him off his feet. Hassad then climbed up onto the barricade, and showing great balance he ran across it and jumped off with a crossbody that swept Bone Collector back down again. Hassad then reached under the ring to grab a table, but Bone Collector took advantage and attacked Hassad from behind. He smacked Hassad’s head on the apron a few times before Irish whipping him right into the steel steps, sending them flying. Bone Collector then set up a table outside the ring behind one corner of the ring, before continuing his attack on Hassad and throwing him into the ring. Bone Collector followed in and stomped a mudhole through Hassad. Bone Collector was in control as he went up to the top rope, but Hassad got up and hopped up with him. Hassad threw some left and right hands before getting into a superplex position. However Bone Collector repeatedly punched Bone Collector’s midsection, and then evaded the superplex by hopping off onto the apron. What followed was one of the most incredible moves in SMW history as Bone Collector jumped off the middle rope and hit a beautiful enziguri type kick to the back of the head of Hassad who was still standing on the top rope. Hassad flipped over outside the ring right through the table as the crowd let out a giant “OOOOOH” and the ref called for the bell, giving the match to Bone Collector.
Match Time: 4:31
James Robinson: You have got to be kidding me!
Dan Wilson: In all my days of being a wrestling fan, and a wrestling personality, I have never seen anything like that. I mean really, never in my life have I seen something as innovative as that.
James Robinson: Well that’s what SMW is all about, innovation.

WHEN THE COMMERCIAL BREAK RETURNS TO RINGSIDE, THE RING IS COVERED IN RED CARPETING WITH A TABLE ON IT AND A CHAIR ON EITHER SIDE. JOE COREY AND DANA WHITE ARE STANDING IN THE RING.
Joe Corey: As you guys know, it was announced that Jon Stern would face Mark Coleman in the octagon at Lethal Lottery.
Dana White: However due to existing long-term injuries, the doctors have ruled out the option of Mark Coleman competing at Lethal Lottery.
Joe Corey: Therefore Dana White and I have dug long and hard and we have come to a decision on who Jon Stern’s opponent shall be. But first, I’d like to ask that Jon Stern come out to the ring.
“READYMADE” BY RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS HITS AS JON STERN MAKES HIS WAY OUT IN A BLACK HOODIE AND JEANS TO A NICE POP. WHEN HE GETS TO THE RING HE SITS DOWN IN ONE OF THE CHAIRS AND ASKS FOR THE MIC.
Jon Stern: Who’ve you got huh? What heavyweight out there today can even compete with me?
Dana White: Well I’m going to go ahead and answer that with one word… Iceman.
CHUCK LIDDEL MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING IN STREET CLOTHES AND IS LOUDLY CHEERED.
Dana White: Yeah that’s right, recently fighting out of the light heavyweight division, Liddell will go back to the heavyweight division to face former Heavyweight champion, Jon Stern at Lethal Lottery.
BOTH MEN SIGN THE CONTRACT AND THE TWO STARE EACHOTHER DOWN BEFORE GIVING EACH OTHER A HANDSHAKE, AS THE CROWD LOVES EVERY SECOND OF IT AND THE SHOT FADES TO A COMMERCIAL BREAK.

THAT MAN, VLADIMIR KOZLOV, STARES AT THE CAMERA AS THE WORDS “VLADIMIR KOZLOV DEBUTS NEXT AGGRESSION” ARE DISPLAYED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN. THE SHOT THEN GOES BACK TO THE RING.
James Robinson: We’ve heard a lot about this guy, and it’s official that he’s finally coming to SMW.

James Robinson: A very imposing figure is Vladimir Kozlov.
SUDDENLY, A NEW THEME SONG HITS AND A NEW FIGURE STEPS OUT, WHO IS IMMEDIATELY IDENTIFIED AS CODY RHODES, DUSTY RHODES’ SON.
Dan Wilson: Well this is another guy that we’ve heard lots about.
James Robinson: Another new superstar on the SMW roster in the form of second-generation superstar Cody Rhodes.
THE FAMILIAR FACE OF ORLANDO JORDAN WHO IS CURRENTLY TRAINING SOME OF THE SUPERSTARS OF SMW COMES OUT TO HIS THEME SONG AND HE MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING.
James Robinson: Well Cody Rhodes sure has his work cut out for him in his debut match.
Dan Wilson: That’s right, Orlando Jordan is a former TWF superstar and is no easy picking, let’s see how this kid does in his debut.
Cody Rhodes vs. Orlando Jordan
Cody Rhodes proved that he belongs on a main roster with this match, repeatedly paying homage to his legendary father Dusty Rhodes, and making quick work of former TWF superstar Orlando Jordan. After hitting multiple suplex’s including a beautiful fisherman suplex that would’ve made Mr. Perfect proud, Cody Rhodes hit a punching combination on OJ and ended it with a bionic elbow, the same move that his father used to use, which sent the crowd into a frenzy. Cody then waited for Orlando Jordan to get up, and when he did, Cody hit a reverse death valley driver into a seated cobra clutch. However Cody then turned it into a sleeper hold and locked on a body scissors at the same time. Cody then rolled over in this ferocious submission hold known as the Rhodes Choke, as Orlando Jordan quickly tapped out.
Match Time: 2:43
James Robinson: Wow, talk about a great debut.
Dan Wilson: Cody Rhodes has always dreamed of following the “American Dream” no pun intended, and with wrestling ability and athleticism like that, he will not have a problem in doing so.

WHEN THE COMMERCIAL BREAK RETURNS, A GOTHIC TUNE HITS AND SMOKE RISES FROM THE STAGE AS SEBASTIAN X MAKES HIS WAY OUT AND IS ACCOMPANIED BY STEVE BRADLEY TO MASSIVE HEAT.
James Robinson: Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the main event of the evening.
Dan Wilson: The second preliminary fight of the night in the Lethal Lottery tournament.
ARIES’ THEME HITS AND HE COMES OUT ALONG WITH ASHIDA KIM, WHO IS WEARING A NINJA MASK, AND THEY GET A MIXED REACTION.
Aries and Ashida Kim vs. Sebastian X and Steve Bradley
Sebastian X and Aries started things off, but just as Aries ran at him, Sebastian X turned and slapped Steve Bradley’s hand, tagging him into the match. Steve Bradley was forced into the match as Aries who has been on a tear as of late, was on the attack on Steve Bradley, hitting him with an onslaught of right and left hands. Aries then took speared Steve Bradley into the corner and then repeatedly kneed him in the mid section. The ref finally broke it up, but Bradley cheapshotted Steve Bradley with a right hand that knocked him down. Aries then tagged in Ashida Kim who springboarded off the top rope with a missle dropkick that took Steve Bradley down once again. Things weren’t looking good for Bradley as Ashida Kim climbed up to the top rope and leaped off with a crossbody. However Steve Bradley caught the Jade Blade in mid air and slammed him down hard. Bradley then made it to his corner and slapped the hand of Sebastian X, returning the favour from before. Sebastian X came into the ring and kicked Ashida hard right in the face as he was trying to get up. Sebastian then got down and locked in a single-legged crab, but Aries ran into the ring and kicked Sebastian X off to break it up. Sebastian X then got in the face of Aries who was being held back by the ref, but Ashida Kim rolled Sebastian up from behind, scoring the near fall of 2. Ashida then got up and ran to the ropes, but when he ran back at Sebastian X, Sebastian clotheslined him inside out. Sebastian then hit a huge tilt-a-whirl slam on Ashida, and went for the cover but Aries came in once again to make the save. Sebastian then ran and tackled Aries down before throwing a flurry of left and right hands. However when Sebastian X got up and turned around, Ashida Kim was waiting with his superkick that shook the arena. Ashida went into the cover but Steve Bradley ran in to break it up. This attracted Aries who ran into the ring and brawled with Steve Bradley. The two were trading right and left hands until the ref tried to step in to break it up. However as Steve Bradley turned to leave the ring, Ashida Kim superkicked him too. Steve Bradley rolled out of the ring almost knocked out cold. Ashida Kim then stalked Sebastian X, waiting for him to get up, and when he did, Ashida went for another superkick. However Sebastian X ducked down and lifted Ashida up for the Burning Hammer. However Aries ran into the ring and tackled Sebastian X down, allowing Ashida Kim to go free. The ref then grabbed Aries and forced him to leave the ring, however as he was doing so, Sebastian X low blowed Ashida Kim who then crumbled to the mat. Sebastian X then lifted Ashida Kim up and hit another Burning Hammer, before going into the cover. Aries tried climbing back into the ring to break it up, but Steve Bradley who had apparently been playing possum since being superkicked grabbed Aries’ feet and held him outside, as the ref registered the 1…2…3 count.
Match Time: 12:47
James Robinson: What a bad ending to a great match, Sebastian X once again cheats his way to victory.
Dan Wilson: Yeah and to a potential title shot.
James Robinson: Wait a minute what’s this?
SEBASTIAN X AND STEVE BRADLEY HAD THEIR HANDS RAISED IN THE RING, WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN SEBASTIAN X SPUN STEVE BRADLEY AROUND AND HIT THE BURNING HAMMER ON HIM. SEBASTIAN X THEN LEFT THE RING MAKING HAND MOTIONS TOWARDS HIS WAIST IN THE SHAPE OF A BELT.
Dan Wilson: Well Sebastian X claimed earlier in the night that he watches out for himself and only himself, and he just proved it after that attack on his Lethal Lottery tag team partner!
James Robinson: Well it seems like Sebastian X is hungry for the SMW World Championship.
Dan Wilson: Thanks for watching folks, we’ll see you next Aggression for a very special edition live in Las Vegas.
