- Opening Friday Night Pyro Montage | "Shinners13" by City Morgue -

- XPWEW International Champion Jake Awesome enters (solo)

- XPWEW Juniorweight Champion Masato Tanaka enters

XPWEW International Title on the line
Ladder Match
M1: Jake Awesome (c) def. Masato Tanaka in the ladder match

In Ring Segment: Mr. Case Your Luck Romeo Roselli comes to the ring with his valet Tenille Dashwood and with his new posse of "Thunder From Under" chippendales who will from this moment on will be addressed as "Romeo's Squadron" (Antonio, Tyson, Jeffree, Julio & Ferdinand). They speak on how Lockdown is merely looming in the horizon and how all XPWEW superstars should consider their potential destination invalid. Romeo Roselli even makes the bold statement that the XPWEW fans will witness "THE TRANSITION" of Romeo from shining star to World Champion. Simply due to the fact that Romeo says he will walk into the office of Troy Clausen on the eve of Lockdown 8 and make himself the main event of Lockdown. So as far as Romeo is concerned 2021 is already predetermined. Tenille goes on to shower Romeo in compliments as the squadron caress him, very much a bizarre opening segment here on Pyro tonight says Nick Simmonds.
- This prompts THE SET to make their entrance with the newest member Alveno La Flare followed by Myron Reed, Jordan Oliver, Kotto Brazil & Chrisy Rivera.
Alveno tells Romeo that tomorrow is not promised and he should tread lightly about announcing his big plans for the spring - Romeo laughs off
Romeo responds looking up to this new member of The Set "and who are you, discount Ruckus?"
Alveno quickly smirks up a striking comeback "and who are you a knockoff James Charles"
- Alveno then asks the one thing every holder of the CYL briefcase never wants to hear - "How bout you put that suitcase up bruh"
- Romeo clutches the briefcase, Heavy is the head that wears the crown and I'm not afraid of nobody, especially a guy who hid behind Golden Bryce for the better part of a year. Alveno, look in the mirror bestie. You hid behind a man who was in the main event of Lockdown twice and lost both times. I don't fear losers and I certainly don't fear a follower. So in the middle of this ring, next week. You got it!
[NEXT WEEK: Romeo defends the Case Your Luck briefcase against The Set's Alveno La Flare!!!]

- 'Afro Punk' Trish Adora enters with Lola Starr who with an 0-10 record is looking for her first W
- The Bad Girls Club enters (Kiera, Bea & Jamie)
Tag Team Match
M2: Lol Starr & Trish Adora def. Kiera Hogan & Jamie Hayter (Bea Priestley at ringside causing distraction occasionally to give her group any sly and cheap advantage)
- Lola Starr picks up her first career win in XPWEW when she rolls up Kiera Hogan with a schoolboy for the 1-2-3 and the celebration goes crazy as she flees up the ramp before Bea can come in to make a statement with the numbers game. Lola Starr just won a match and what the world is going on!?!?!

- We are teased that later tonight Nick Simmonds will be doing an interview with the returning Jacques Dudley
Backstage: Deity is apologizing to her mentor Tito Santana for decking him with the brass knuckles and not checking up on him General Manager Teddy Long is also standing there beside Tito
"I was fuming Tito okay I was mad and upset and I'm paranoid ok. I'm paranoid about this rematch with Lotus"
Teddy: Thats right playa but under one condition, Deity doesn't seem to be as reliant on you as much as she was when I first landed this job, So I'll tell ya what playa next week its gonna be Deity vs Lotus for the XPWEW World Women's Title
but heres the thing, Tito you can be at ringside
Tito: I can, you serious?
Teddy: But Tito playa I can't trust ya to be 100% fair out there, y'all have just about done it all to win, brass knuckles, handcuffs, poker chips, poker cards, crystal rocks, loaded fanny packs hell even Bill Alfonso. bribed and payed off.
So I tell ya what, Tito you can be out there in the ring...just 15 feet above it
Deity & Tito - what?
Teddy: It's gonna be a shark cage playa and thats to assure you don't get involved, you feel me
Deity: screams at the top of her lungs in anger (RIP headphone listeners)
Tito accepts the apology but says he's secured that that rematch will take place next week
NEXT WEEK: with Tito Santana ascended 15 feet high in a shark cage so he can't get out Lotus will defend the XPWEW Women's Title against Deity 1 on 1 this time no swindling tricks as orders from Friday Night Pyro GM Theodore Long

Backstage: Masato Tanaka is healing from hurting in the trainer's room. Golden Bryce comes out and asks how he's doing. Jake Awesome enters the room and says he's doing fine. Tanaka tells them both to calm down. Jake tells Bryce to leave, you know what Bryce just go away. Nobody likes you. Tanaka don't even know you, Jacques abandoned you, hell even your own family abandoned you.
Take the hint and leave.
Bryce: Jake why dont you just hit me in the face
Jake: you first...do it or you'll draw back a god damn stump motherf***er Bryce lunges at Jake and they brawl in the trainers room, Tanaka with a bandage on his head wraps his arms around Bryce, Jordan, Myron Kotto jump in the room and pull Jake apart
EmTs break it up and the room is in dismay.

We then transition to XPWEW color commentator Nick Simmonds conducting an in ring interview with Jacques Dudley asking
why he left
-what he wants to do
Golden Bryce comes out fresh up out of an altercation with Jake Awesome and asks why (Jacques) didn't join "Team Bryce" last November at Battlefield
jacques responds i have more to prove - golden bryce says then prove it -
Jacques: You picking alot of fights
Bryce: Well then I'm picking this one.
Jacques and Bryce stare each other down and then after a moment of staredown
- Ruckus and Siaka Lexoni enter and gaslight them both, they mock both of them until Bryce tackles Jacques and just like that we got a match!
(This is a different personality shift for Golden Bryce, he's never just lunged at anybody and tonight he's picked a fight with Jake in the trainer's room and now the returning Jacques Dudley though)
1 on 1
M3: Jacques Dudley def. Golden Bryce
After the match Jake Awesome runs in and tries to attack Jacques but Jacques reverses and lunges at Jake and the entire Set
Bryce then hits a suicide dive (also very out of character for him) on everyone at ringside as we go to break

- Champagne Clausen enters with his insurance policy Dee Dubya aka Damien Wayne
- Romeo Roselli enters with Tenille Dashwood and his squadron - Antonio, Tyson, Jeffree, Julio & Ferdinand
- Death Machines Joe Gacy enters watching over his back replay of Exodus attack on Gacy replays, commentary questions still if Audrey Carbine did that on purpose because we know her and Gacy have had partner issues in the past, hell their partnership was even put together by Romeo
- Audrey Carbine enters
- Exodus enters once Audrey Carbine opens the book summoning him from his crate

Trios Match
M4: Exodus, Audrey Carbine & Joe Gacy def. DW, Champagne Clausen & Romeo Roselli

Exodus goes berserk destroying Champagne and DW, Romeo luckily escapes and his squadron carries him off in a body surf motion it was actually pretty funny and would make an A+ gif.

In ring segment with Theodore Long, Deity and Tito Santana where the GM is gonna give them and up and close look at the Shark Cage Tito will have to be locked in next week on Pyro
- Shark Cage descends from the rafters
"What are you sending me scuba diving?" - says Tito Santana
Teddy says "I've been locked in a shark cage it ain't all that bad"
Tito screams "You can't make me! You can't make me! You can't make me!"
Deity screams "You can't make him!!!"
Teddy Long respond no Tito I can't make you but if you don't I can make sure you never step foot in an XPWEW arena again amigo
Tito timidly and angrily says "I'm afraid of heights Teddy don't you know that!
Deity says "it's not even safe!"
Teddy tells Tito to step in, Tito says "is it even safe, lock it show me how safe it is"
Teddy starts to lock Tito in and Deity rolls her eyes, "Tito get out before he locks it, get out before he..."
Tito screams at Teddy "do you even have a key?"
Teddy locks it - Tito shakes the shark cage - Teddy starts grabbing at his pockets "I just realized I forgot the key" Deity is fuming and Tito is shaking the cage "get me out!"
Teddy turns around and says "don't worry Tito you are safe as long as I don't do the signal, because when I do the signal *does the hand gesture signal*
Tito: hey! hey!! hey hey wait wait
(The shark cage slow rises up to the ceiling) and this funny segment comes to a close with Tito screaming from the ever rising shark cage in the ceiling and Deity rolling her eyes realizing that she's gotta find a way to win this match without any shenanigans
We see Siaka Lexoni and 3M3 on a split screen hyping themselves up. Main Event is next! World Title implications on the line! Next!
