SFT TUESDAY NIGHT TITANS 95Live from the Tokyo Dome, Tokyo, Japan
RINGSIDE
We see Superjoint Ritual on stage as the crowds go wild. Everyone with facesmask with a green or white SFT logo on the front which looks odd.
While the band is playing we see Randy White and John Cartwright come out to ringside dressed in tuxedos.
Randy White: Welcome everyone to historic Tokyo we are live from the legendary Tokyo Dome.
John Cartwright: That is right its been a long time since we have been here but its been well worth the wait.
Randy White: First match of the night should be a doozy but first, there's something happening in the back. Our camera crew is taking us backstage now.
BACKSTAGE
The camera' switches to inside a private room in the Tokyo Dome where Candace and Lucas Balkan are sitting on a couch, inlaid with a fine green silk. Behind them are white linen curtains, the kind of white that are devoid of dust.
Lucas Balkan: Considering what's been going on between you and Jack Jones, all I wonder is... you haven't been going soft on him have you?
Candace: Lucas, you need to understand that for me there’s no room for socializing or having relationships of any kind. Besides I keep my cards very close to my chest. Jack Jones isn't a super hero because they don't exist. He has nothing to impress me, rather he is just an addict and I need to be his mentor and show him the right path and in return he can win my heart by following the guidelines I am gonna give him.
She voices out her reservations in an inner monologue, admitting she fells a sense of loyalty to Lucas.
Lucas Balkan: Hmm! Then I trust in you and I know that you won't fail.
Candace: Thank you, and by the way good luck for your match tonight. I know you don't need it as much as Jay Impact does and I'm confident enough that our championships aren't ready to change hands just yet.
She smiles and gets up to leave the room. Her moral ambiguity is what makes her so engaging and this is why Lucas recruited her.
The scene then moves to the ring side area for the first match of the event.

Louis Cypher vs Twilight
Standard Match
Standard Match
Randy White: Jack Jones, an addict? That's new to me...
John Cartwright: He's addicted to her Randy...
Randy White: Oh, okay, I see, that makes more sense now.
John Cartwright: Folks, it's time for our first match of the evening!
"I Will Be Heard" by Hatebreed begins playing. Moments later, Twilight emerges from behind the curtain and walks down the rampway. Upon reaching ringside, Twilight slides in the ring and waits for his opponent.
Cypher’s song hits and he makes his way avoiding any touches or camera shots from any fans, he does not like the fans. Louis slides in the ring and attacks Twilight while his back was turned. The referee quickly calls for the opening bell just after Louis Cypher blatantly kicks Twilight in groin!
Randy White: Cypher's playing dirty! He barely got that off before the opening bell.
John Cartwright: I like it!
Twilight is hunched over when Cypher DDTs his head into the mat. Cypher goes for a pin.

Kickout!

Kickout!
John Cartwright: That was close!
Cypher gets back up to his feet, then bends over and grabs Twilight by the head. He then goes to pick Twilight up to his feet but suddenly gets rolled up into a pin! The referee didn't even get to strike his palm on the mat for a one count because Cypher instantly kicked out. Both men quickly make it up to their feet. Cypher comes charging at Twilight but gets tripped up with a drop toe hold before Cypher's face gets planted into the mat. Twilight quickly jumps on Cypher's back and applies a rear chin lock. He torques Cypher's neck as Cypher yells out in pain. The referee asks Cypher if he wants to tap out but Louis spits at the referee.
John Cartwright: That's one way to say no!
Twilight torques Cypher's neck again and Cypher yells again. After that, we can see that Twilight relaxes for a moment and lets up on the pressure. Cypher is able to get his arm free and uses it to trip Twilight up enough after that, Louis twists his body and while doing so, Cypher also punches Twilight in the bottom of his chin. Twilight falls off of Cypher and onto the mat. Louis quickly covers Twilight. The referee strikes his palm on the mat once as the fans cheer loudly for Twilight to kick out. Another strike of the hand hits the mat and the fans cheer even louder as the referee's hand smakes the mat a third time. At that moment, the cheers, instantly change over to boos while Louis Cypher smirks as he makes it up to his feet.
*DING DING DING*
Randy White: This is a good victory for Louis Cypher! He's starting to gain some momentum.
John Cartwright: Well folks, we've got to go to commericial. We'll be back soon!
WINNER BY PINFALL: LOUIS CYPHER
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Candace vs Emerson
Intercontinental Title Match
Intercontinental Title Match
Ring Announcer: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the SFT Intercontinental Championship.
The lights dim as "Kryptonite" by Three Doors Down begins playing through the arena. Blue strobe lights begin flashing throughout the whole arena. Moments later, the "Ghetto Superman" Emerson explodes out from behind the curtain and the crowd erupts with cheers.
He smiles as he quickly moves down to ringside while giving many fans on both sides of the ramp high fives.
Ring Announcer: Making his way to the ring, from Gnome, Alaska, weighing in at 275 pounds and standing 5 feet 11 tall, the challenger... HE... IS... EMERSON!
Once Emerson reaches the bottom of the ramp. He jogs around the whole ring and gives fans at ringside high fives as well. Once "Super Em" makes it all of the way around the ring, with a burst of speed, he runs at the ring and slides in before immediately pushing himself up to his feet.
"Vengeance" by ICW Anthology hits in the PA system as the lights in the arena turn red as Candace comes out from behind the curtain in her regular leather attire fully covered from neck to toe. She is wearing a hijab - a headscarf on her head.
Ring Announcer: Making her way to the ring, from Giza, Egypt, weighing in at 138 pounds and standing 5 feet 9 inches tall… she is your SFT Intercontinental Champion… CANDACE!
She walks down the ramp and stops at the ringside staring at the fans but ignores to tap hands with them and enters the ring through steel steps and finally gets into the ring. She reaches the right turnbuckle near the time-keeper's area and poses to the fans receiving mixed reactions from the crowd as her music dies.
John Cartwright: This is a big opportunity for Emerson to get some gold back round his waist.
Randy White: That’s true, he’s been looking a little light since Lucas Balkan took his SFT World Title from him back in July.
John Cartwright: Unfortunately for Emerson, Candace is one hell of a fighting champion and has fought off multiple challengers so far.
Candace and Emerson circle each other as the bell rings. They lock up in the middle of the ring and the larger Emerson drags Candace into a side headlock, trying to bring the tempo of the match down. He can’t hold her for long as Candace wriggles out and twists Emerson into a wristlock, applying pressure until Emerson sinks to one knee. Candace continues to push the arm of Emerson until he manages to contort his body out of the hold and sweep Candace’s legs. Both competitors jump to their feet and circle each other again.
John Cartwright: Cagey start here from both competitors.
Randy White: Some technical wrestling on display, you’d have to give the edge on that to Candace if it continues.
Emerson tries to lock up with Candace again but she ducks under his arms and unleashes a kick across his back. Emerson takes a few steps away and as he rushes back towards Candace she sidesteps him and connects with an elbow strike, sending Emerson stumbling off against the ropes. He drags himself to his feet and shakes his head, trying to shake off that strike.
John Cartwright: I think Candace has Emerson’s number here…
Emerson throws a kick at Candace but she catches his leg and smirks at him, she pulls him in towards her and manages to lift him off the ground and slam him. Emerson rolls away, gasping for breath as Candace rolls back to her feet and taunts the crowd who are booing her mercilessly.
John Cartwright: I think she’s really revelling in the crowd’s disproval tonight.
Randy White: Damn right, this crowd loves Emerson and she’s kicking his ass!
Emerson has rolled onto the apron and Candace stalks across to continue the beatdown. She reaches through the ropes to drag him back into the ring but Emerson takes a quick step back and unleashes a boot to the face of Candace who tumbles back into the ring.
Randy White: Smart!
Emerson seems to have got his breath back and leaps back into the ring. He drags Candace to her feet and lifts her for a German suplex! He covers!
1…
Kickout!
Emerson looks shocked that Candace kicks out at 1 but drags her back to her feet again, grabs her and launches her backwards with a belly to back suplex. Candace rolls across the ring into the corner and tries to drag herself up against the turnbuckles. Emerson comes across and lays into Candace with punches to the gut and to the head, leaving Candace covering her face. Emerson grabs her and pulls her out of the corner and nails her with a belly to belly suplex! He covers again!
1…
Kickout!
John Cartwright: Wow!
Candace might have kicked out but she’s looking wiped out in the middle of the ring. Emerson climbs to the top rope.
Randy White: He’s going for a headbutt off the top!
John Cartwright: Big risk!
Sure enough, while he’s in midair, Candace rolls out of the wall and Emerson lands face first on the mat! Both competitors are lying flat on their back in the middle of the ring, trying to catch their breath.
John Cartwright: Mistake from Emerson… Hold on, is that…? Yes, it’s Jack Jones… AGAIN!
Jack Jones is sitting in the crowd, surrounded by laughing SFT fans as he sits staring at Candace in the ring with his chin in his hands, puppy dog eyes staring down at the ring.
Randy White: That kid is never going to take no for an answer is he?
Jack Jones continues to stare longingly at the ring while Candace and Emerson get back to their feet. They trade blows in the centre of the ring, both looking unsteady on their feet but not falling. Eventually, Emerson tries to lift Candace for a sidewalk slam but she slithers out of his grip. Emerson turns round and eats a spinning heel kick which sends his staggering backwards. He charges back and send a kick at Candace’s gut but she catches his leg again.
John Cartwright: Come on Em, stop making the same mistakes..!
But Emerson manages to swing his other leg around, catching Candace with an enziguri. Candace stumbles backwards, holding her face, as Emerson gets up and calls for his finisher!
Randy White: He’s calling for it…
John Cartwright: If Emerson can hit his spiked piledriver, Candace will be out of this…
Emerson grabs Candace and sets her up for a piledriver. He raises his arms to get a cheer from the crowd but Candace takes the opportunity to slip through his legs and pull him down into a small package!

*DING DING DING*
Emerson looks shocked as Candace rolls out of the ring quickly, grabs her belt and heads back to the ramp, laughing at Emerson and taunting the fans.
John Cartwright: Oh my God, she’s stolen the win there!
Randy White: Emerson was playing to the fans and he took his attention off Candace for one second and that was enough!
John Cartwright: Well, that goes to show that you have to pay attention to Candace!
Ring Announcer: Here is your winner and STILL SFT Intercontinental Champion… CANDACE!
Candace walks backwards up the ramp, grinning and taunting Emerson, while he smacks the turnbuckles in frustration as the camera fades to commercial.
WINNER BY PINFALL: CANDACE

"In Time" by Mark Collie hits as Jack Jones makes his way out to the ring. The fans stand up and cheer him. He has on jeans and a black shirt with a white circle on it. Fans put their hands together to signify what once was.

John Cartwright: This has been quite the soap opera with Robert, Jack and Candace and this I feel will only be the start of this.

WINNER BY PINFALL: ROBERT SAINTS
John Cartwright: A nice win for Robert Saints
Robert celebrates with Kelly as they exit to the back. Then we see SFT's Intercontinental Champion come through the curtains and walk down to the ring where Jack is slowly making it up to his knees. Candace climbs in the ring and helps Jack Jones up. Jack's previous frown has instantly been turned upside down as he looks at Candace.
She climbs out of the ring, stops and looks at Jack who is still standing there staring at her. She motions for him to follow her and he does. They both then walk side by side all of the way to the curtain. This is where Jack reaches out, grabs the curtain and pulls it back while he motions for Candace to go before him. She obliges and then Jack follows her to the back.

MAIN EVENT
Jay Impact vs Lucas Balkan
World Title Match
John Cartwright: Ladies and gentlemen this is time for our main event. The former Intercontinental Champion Jay Impact will go one on one against the reigning Undisputed SFT World Champion, Lucas Balkan.
Randy White: That’s right and this will be a no disqualification match, inside a cell that is 20 feet tall and made of nearly five tons in steel. At least one or both men are going to get some scars...
Ring Announcer: The following contest is a Hell in a Cell match and it is for the SFT World Championship. In this match there are no disqualifications and no count out rules. The only way to win this match is by pinfall or submission.
John Cartwright: That’s right Lucas, hear it. No count, no disqualification.
"Just Close Your Eyes" by Story of the Year hits in the PA system as Jay Impact walks out at the entrance stage in a deluxe yacht hat, receiving a standing ovation from the sold out crowd of Tokyo Dome. He walks down the ramp and gets inside the ring by sliding through the bottom rope and climbs on the ring corner to pose for the fans.
Ring Announcer: Introducing first, the challenger, from Toronto, Ontario weighing in at 235 pounds, Jay IMPACT!!
Randy White: You know John this is going to be one of the historical matches for this Canadian rockstar. He’s been unstoppable in SFT so far.
John Cartwright: Seeing him racing toward the tip of the iceberg, if Lucas Balkan is able to actually beat him here tonight, then Balkan is a guaranteed Hall of Famer.
The Tokyo Dome lights cut suddenly. The screen momentarily goes dark but flickers into light, TV static, as the brooding, Eastern music fills the arena. The static lasts for 30 seconds while a large black eagle’s silhouette fades into shot. As the lights come back on to the Prophecy by Soulfly, the eagle fades away, replaced by one word.
Ring Announcer: Introducing next from Prekaz, Kosovo, weighing in at 240 pounds, he is the SFT Champion.. Lucas BALKAN!!!
When the vocals start, Lucas Balkan brushes the curtain aside and walks out onto the ramp with his hood up. He pauses, listening to the Japanese crowd before moving further towards the ring. Grainy images of border walls, protests and men in dark hooded tops, of cigarette smoke and eagle claws, dance on the big screen above him.
Randy White: Big night for this man and the rest of the Flock. As we've already seen, Candace successfully retained her title here tonight against Embry.
Lucas walks slowly to the ring, slides under the bottom rope and stares blankly into the crowd. He pulls off his t-shirt and tosses it out of the ring, leans back against the turnbuckle, staring directly above him, his fingers fixed in a triangle. Jay Impact staring down his opponent and warming himself up with a clowny smile on his face.
Randy White: If anything is gonna give advantages to Lucas in this match is Jay’s dumbass clown attitude. Look at him.
John Cartwright: He plays dumb, Randy. But in my opinion Jay is still a smartass.
Lucas’ music dies as both men stare at each other from their corner for a good few seconds after the bell is rung. Jay Impact takes the first step, trying to take a hold on Balkan’s first but Balkan steps back and wraps his arm around the rope, indicating the referee to push Jay back and the referee does that. Jay taunts Lucas to get in the middle of the ring but Lucas mocks him again. Jay rushes toward him but Lucas crosses half of his body through the middle rope and the referee again pulls Jay back.
John Cartwright: He’s a scarey bird, Randy.
Randy White: Lucas is just playing smarter, John, and you’re gonna find it out by the end of the match.
Jay steps back and patiently waits for Lucas to get in the middle of the ring. Lucas steps forward and immediately locks Jay in a headlock for a few seconds. Jay breaking the hold immediately whips Lucas to the ropes but Lucas comes back with a modest shoulder block taking Jay down. Jay gets back to his feet as Lucas whips to the rope by himself, Jay goes for the clothesline but Lucas blocks the move and does a clothesline of his own. Jay is down, hooks up the leg.

John Cartwright: This match is far from over.
Jay kicks out at two. Lucas picks Jay up, but Jay quickly breaks the hold and kicks into the midsection and knocks Lucas down with a successful clothesline. Lucas rolls toward the rope as Jay struggles to get up. Both men get to their feet, Lucas punches on Jay’s head as Jay strikes back. Both men do a little back and forth until Jay gets an upper hand, hits a sit-out inverted suplex slam. Jay covers Lucas.
1..

Kickout!
Randy White: Impact is desperate to win the gold but Lucas isn’t an easy way material.
John Cartwright: Trust me, Randy, Jay is my pick for this match. He will protect his streak by winning the title.
Randy White: Let's find out.
Jay picks Lucas up, wasting no time he locks Lucas again in a move but this time it is his finisher, the Unprettier. Lucas struggles out of the move by hitting a several elbow right on Jay’s neck and whips the rope and knocks him down with a third clothesline of the match. Jay slithers away, holding on to the rope and getting to his knees. Lucas who is already up after hitting the clothesline, turns Jay around and locks him into The Two Headed Eagle. He yells to the crowd as he receives great pops from the fans.
Randy White: Some fans are very happy about it!
John Cartwright: Might be a little more in the next one if Lucas hits one more.
Before Lucas could lift Impact up, he locks Lucas into a small cradle pinfall, holding on to the middle rope but the referee couldn’t see it and he goes for the pinfall.

Randy White: Did he hold on to the ropes?
John Cartwright: He tried to cheat the champ.
Lucas couldn’t believe what just happened as he immediately turned to the referee who indicated for the two count fall. Jay hammers Lucas back with slight of a distraction and takes him into the corner. He punches the champion before climbing up on the middle rope and goes for the punches 10 count punches.
John Cartwright: Shades of Titans 94.

Just before Jay could go for the seventh punch, Lucas crosses his forearms around the challenger's thighs and knocks him down in the middle of the ring with a sit-down powerbomb. The champion leaves the arena with a jaw dropping moment as the scene replays on the screen for a several times. Lucas pushes Jay to the side who is down like a lifeless body. Lucas looks around and then immediately leaves the ring and starts searching for some foreign object from underneath the ring.
John Cartwright: Oh boy! I don’t smell anything good.
Randy White: Jay Impact is about to learn some hardcore lesson.
Lucas takes out a steel chair down from the ring followed by a barbed wire baseball bat. He slides the chair inside the ring while staring at the bat for a few seconds before bringing an evil grin to his face. He rolls himself inside the ring, approaches Jay and smashes right foot on his chest. Lucas then whips to the ropes and comes back and does a barbed wire bat drop right over Jay’s forehead that surely left some marks on his skin and the challenger starts to bleed.
Randy White: The hidden beast inside the SFT Champ has just unleashed hell in that cell.
John Cartwright: Man, this guy is bleeding so bad.
Randy White: Watch OUT!!!
Lucas smashes the barbed wire bat again and this time right on Jay’s back as he rolls into the corner and then outside the ring. Lucas gets outside the ring underneath bottom rope, picks Jay up and smashes his skull on the steel steps creating a ‘boom!’ sound in the arena. He picks up Jay again and presses his head against the steel fence of the structure and rubs his forehead off as Jay screams out of pain. The crowd boos all over the arena as Lucas smiles wide and rubs Jay’s blood on his chest before throwing him back inside the ring.
John Cartwright: This man is acting like hyena right now.
Randy White: More like one that enjoys playing with his prey rather than eating it.
Jay slowly crawls himself toward the corner as Lucas enters inside the ring. He reaches Jay but ends up receiving a shot by the chair that Lucas himself brought, but eats right into his own guts. Jay back to his knee, Lucas approaches him back to take control but Jay smashes another chair shot right into his belly AGAIN. Both men are now kneeling except that Lucas hasn’t started bleeding. The Champ punches Jay right across his face and Jay punches him back. This goes for a good 20 seconds with “Boo” and “Yeah!” responses from the sold out crowd.
Randy White: I’m sure these people might have never witnessed something like that in their entire life.
John Cartwright: Have ever heard of NJPW...?
Randy White: I do but for me it doesn’t exist in our timeline.
Lucas, after exchanging a few punches, grabs Jay by his hairs and headbutts him which partially knocks Jay out. He then grabs the steel chair and puts Jay’s neck in between the folding pattern. He then slowly climbs on the middle rope and thinks of a leg drop. But within the next second he changes his mind and goes to the top rope instead and lands himself with the Elbow Smash to end Jay’s career.
John Cartwright: You’re gonna break his neck, damn it!
Randy White: WATCH OUT!!!
As soon as Lucas lands, Jay moves out from the targeted spot, removes the chair from his neck, folds it and swings right over the right side of the Champion. The champion is out. The crowd gives a mixed reaction but cheering more for the fan favorite as he lifts up the chair again above his head and hits right over the skull of the semi-conscious World Champion. Jay throws the chair to the other side, drops his body on the champion and turns him around to gain an advantage for the successful pinfall. But the referee wasn’t there to count.
Randy White: Wait a minute, where’s the ref?
John Cartwright: What the hell is she doing here?!
The camera pans at the doorside of the cell where Candace is seen cutting the lock of the cell’s gate by the gutter. The referees outside the cube trying to stop her but she warns that she will hurt them if they try to stop her. Jay is still waiting to hear the pinfall count but after a long pause, he gets to his feet and turns around. Candace already broke the gate and got inside the ring. She swings the cutter right on Jay’s face but Jay ducks, and locks her into the unprettier, but Candace reverses the move, Irish whips him to the ropes and successfully connects a vicious spinebuster in the middle of the ring.
John Cartwright: I’m absolutely disgusted. Harold should have banned outside interference in this match. I knew something like that would happen.
Randy White: Wait a minute. Looks like we’ve got some more company here...
Candace grabs Lucas and tries to pull him over Jay’s body, suddenly the crowd cheers and Rumpke makes his way out and enters inside the cell. The Intercontinental Champion realizes that and quickly grabs the steel chair from the corner for her defense. Rumpke approaches her when she throws the chair at Rumpke who punches it and sends the chair flying out of his way. This bought Candace enough time to escape the ring and quickly leave the cell. She jumps in to the ringside fan area. Rumpke, in pursuit of Candace, leaves the ring and cell also and looks for her in the drove of fans but she's now nowhere to be seen. Rumpke then walks up to the cell and closes the door before standing in front of it like a guard.
Randy White: Who needs a chain and pad lock when you've got a drunken brawler guarding the door!
Meanwhile, inside the ring, Lucas Balkan crawls and puts his arm on the dead Impact's chest.
John Cartwright: That’s not the way damn it.
Randy White: It's ALL legal, John, just admit it.

3...
NO!
John Cartwright: What?!
Randy White: It should have been three. The ref is too slow.
Referee: TWO COUNT!!
The referee yells and tells the timekeeper not to count it as three. The crowd is shocked so is Lucas but he doesn’t have enough energy left to measure the calculation. The champion gets to his feet and picks up the challenger who is all out. He then locks Impact into The Two-Headed Eagle and successfully connects right in the middle of the ring. Lucas rubs his palms on his face, staring at Jay and then drops himself down on the challenger, hooking up his leg as the referee counts.

Randy White: As much as you don’t like it John, that was a brilliant, a brilliant game played by Candace and The Flock. All Hail our SFT World Champion, Lucas Balkan!
Lucas is given the World Title by the referee as he immediately removes himself from the ring, while the cell gets uplifted back to where it came from. The EMTs arrive at the scene to check on Jay Impact and bring a stretcher with them.
The screen replays all the jaw dropping scenes from the match and focuses on the ending where Candace yet again attacked Jay Impact and Lucas gets the job one with his finisher, proving that the Flock owns the SFT yard.
Randy White: What you see on the screen ladies and gentlemen is THE FUTURE of this company.
John Cartwright: Well thank you ladies and gentlemen for joining us here tonight. We'll see you next with with some more actions, until then goodnight everybody. What a night. Damn!
Randy White: That’s right and this will be a no disqualification match, inside a cell that is 20 feet tall and made of nearly five tons in steel. At least one or both men are going to get some scars...

John Cartwright: He’s a scarey bird, Randy.
Randy White: Lucas is just playing smarter, John, and you’re gonna find it out by the end of the match.
Jay steps back and patiently waits for Lucas to get in the middle of the ring. Lucas steps forward and immediately locks Jay in a headlock for a few seconds. Jay breaking the hold immediately whips Lucas to the ropes but Lucas comes back with a modest shoulder block taking Jay down. Jay gets back to his feet as Lucas whips to the rope by himself, Jay goes for the clothesline but Lucas blocks the move and does a clothesline of his own. Jay is down, hooks up the leg.

Kickout!
Randy White: Impact is desperate to win the gold but Lucas isn’t an easy way material.
John Cartwright: Trust me, Randy, Jay is my pick for this match. He will protect his streak by winning the title.
Randy White: Let's find out.
Jay picks Lucas up, wasting no time he locks Lucas again in a move but this time it is his finisher, the Unprettier. Lucas struggles out of the move by hitting a several elbow right on Jay’s neck and whips the rope and knocks him down with a third clothesline of the match. Jay slithers away, holding on to the rope and getting to his knees. Lucas who is already up after hitting the clothesline, turns Jay around and locks him into The Two Headed Eagle. He yells to the crowd as he receives great pops from the fans.
Randy White: Some fans are very happy about it!
John Cartwright: Might be a little more in the next one if Lucas hits one more.
Before Lucas could lift Impact up, he locks Lucas into a small cradle pinfall, holding on to the middle rope but the referee couldn’t see it and he goes for the pinfall.

Kickout!
Randy White: Did he hold on to the ropes?
John Cartwright: He tried to cheat the champ.
Lucas couldn’t believe what just happened as he immediately turned to the referee who indicated for the two count fall. Jay hammers Lucas back with slight of a distraction and takes him into the corner. He punches the champion before climbing up on the middle rope and goes for the punches 10 count punches.
John Cartwright: Shades of Titans 94.

Just before Jay could go for the seventh punch, Lucas crosses his forearms around the challenger's thighs and knocks him down in the middle of the ring with a sit-down powerbomb. The champion leaves the arena with a jaw dropping moment as the scene replays on the screen for a several times. Lucas pushes Jay to the side who is down like a lifeless body. Lucas looks around and then immediately leaves the ring and starts searching for some foreign object from underneath the ring.
John Cartwright: Oh boy! I don’t smell anything good.
Randy White: Jay Impact is about to learn some hardcore lesson.
Lucas takes out a steel chair down from the ring followed by a barbed wire baseball bat. He slides the chair inside the ring while staring at the bat for a few seconds before bringing an evil grin to his face. He rolls himself inside the ring, approaches Jay and smashes right foot on his chest. Lucas then whips to the ropes and comes back and does a barbed wire bat drop right over Jay’s forehead that surely left some marks on his skin and the challenger starts to bleed.
Randy White: The hidden beast inside the SFT Champ has just unleashed hell in that cell.
John Cartwright: Man, this guy is bleeding so bad.
Randy White: Watch OUT!!!
Lucas smashes the barbed wire bat again and this time right on Jay’s back as he rolls into the corner and then outside the ring. Lucas gets outside the ring underneath bottom rope, picks Jay up and smashes his skull on the steel steps creating a ‘boom!’ sound in the arena. He picks up Jay again and presses his head against the steel fence of the structure and rubs his forehead off as Jay screams out of pain. The crowd boos all over the arena as Lucas smiles wide and rubs Jay’s blood on his chest before throwing him back inside the ring.
John Cartwright: This man is acting like hyena right now.
Randy White: More like one that enjoys playing with his prey rather than eating it.
Jay slowly crawls himself toward the corner as Lucas enters inside the ring. He reaches Jay but ends up receiving a shot by the chair that Lucas himself brought, but eats right into his own guts. Jay back to his knee, Lucas approaches him back to take control but Jay smashes another chair shot right into his belly AGAIN. Both men are now kneeling except that Lucas hasn’t started bleeding. The Champ punches Jay right across his face and Jay punches him back. This goes for a good 20 seconds with “Boo” and “Yeah!” responses from the sold out crowd.
Randy White: I’m sure these people might have never witnessed something like that in their entire life.
John Cartwright: Have ever heard of NJPW...?
Randy White: I do but for me it doesn’t exist in our timeline.
Lucas, after exchanging a few punches, grabs Jay by his hairs and headbutts him which partially knocks Jay out. He then grabs the steel chair and puts Jay’s neck in between the folding pattern. He then slowly climbs on the middle rope and thinks of a leg drop. But within the next second he changes his mind and goes to the top rope instead and lands himself with the Elbow Smash to end Jay’s career.
John Cartwright: You’re gonna break his neck, damn it!
Randy White: WATCH OUT!!!
As soon as Lucas lands, Jay moves out from the targeted spot, removes the chair from his neck, folds it and swings right over the right side of the Champion. The champion is out. The crowd gives a mixed reaction but cheering more for the fan favorite as he lifts up the chair again above his head and hits right over the skull of the semi-conscious World Champion. Jay throws the chair to the other side, drops his body on the champion and turns him around to gain an advantage for the successful pinfall. But the referee wasn’t there to count.
Randy White: Wait a minute, where’s the ref?
John Cartwright: What the hell is she doing here?!
The camera pans at the doorside of the cell where Candace is seen cutting the lock of the cell’s gate by the gutter. The referees outside the cube trying to stop her but she warns that she will hurt them if they try to stop her. Jay is still waiting to hear the pinfall count but after a long pause, he gets to his feet and turns around. Candace already broke the gate and got inside the ring. She swings the cutter right on Jay’s face but Jay ducks, and locks her into the unprettier, but Candace reverses the move, Irish whips him to the ropes and successfully connects a vicious spinebuster in the middle of the ring.
John Cartwright: I’m absolutely disgusted. Harold should have banned outside interference in this match. I knew something like that would happen.
Randy White: Wait a minute. Looks like we’ve got some more company here...
Candace grabs Lucas and tries to pull him over Jay’s body, suddenly the crowd cheers and Rumpke makes his way out and enters inside the cell. The Intercontinental Champion realizes that and quickly grabs the steel chair from the corner for her defense. Rumpke approaches her when she throws the chair at Rumpke who punches it and sends the chair flying out of his way. This bought Candace enough time to escape the ring and quickly leave the cell. She jumps in to the ringside fan area. Rumpke, in pursuit of Candace, leaves the ring and cell also and looks for her in the drove of fans but she's now nowhere to be seen. Rumpke then walks up to the cell and closes the door before standing in front of it like a guard.
Randy White: Who needs a chain and pad lock when you've got a drunken brawler guarding the door!
Meanwhile, inside the ring, Lucas Balkan crawls and puts his arm on the dead Impact's chest.
John Cartwright: That’s not the way damn it.
Randy White: It's ALL legal, John, just admit it.

NO!
John Cartwright: What?!
Randy White: It should have been three. The ref is too slow.
Referee: TWO COUNT!!
The referee yells and tells the timekeeper not to count it as three. The crowd is shocked so is Lucas but he doesn’t have enough energy left to measure the calculation. The champion gets to his feet and picks up the challenger who is all out. He then locks Impact into The Two-Headed Eagle and successfully connects right in the middle of the ring. Lucas rubs his palms on his face, staring at Jay and then drops himself down on the challenger, hooking up his leg as the referee counts.
