Hyde covered Dutch, scoring the three count and his first Legacy victory.

Ringside Segment
Art Foster: Welcome to New Wave!
Richie Miller: What a show we have lined up tonight. Richie Miller and Art Foster here to call all of the action and Art, are you as excited as I am?
Art Foster: I can't lie, Richie, I have butterflies in my stomach right now!
Richie Miller: Me to, Art, me too.
Art Foster: Now, folks, tonight's first match is certain to be a classic!
Richie Miller: That's right, a five man...FIVE man ladder match, and it's being fought under Sin City rules, no less!
Art Foster: What a match, Richie, where is your money?
Richie Miller: I see some tough competitors, but you know what? I'm calling Eric Weaver to pull off a bit of a shock.
Art Foster: Well there we have it folks, so let's head down to the ring and get this match underway.
Sin City Ladder Match
Eric Weaver vs Dylan O'Brien vs John Pariah vs Oliver Otis vs Rayne Young
Ringside Segment
The ring was surrounded by ladders of various sizes. After the competitor's respective entrances, the match began with all five men standing in the ring, all but Oliver in a corner of their own. The veteran Pariah was quick to exit the ring, attracting the attention of Rayne, who got flattened by Dylan with an attack from behind due to the distraction. Eric and Oliver brawled into a corner, with both men ending up outside the ring and getting taken down by John.
In the ring, Dylan continued his assault on Rayne, crashing him into the turnbuckle and body slamming him to the mat. Rayne managed to regain some control, however, with a counter attack, scoring a knee to the side of Dylan's head which sent him to the outside. On the outside Pariah went about picking apart Oliver Otis, using the ring steps and security barricade to do his work for him. Eric Weaver brawled with Dylan, forcing him over the barricade and into the crowd, before taking a ladder into the ring.
Eric was, however, caught off guard by Rayne, who managed to dropkick the ladder into Weaver's own face. Pariah slid in, but ate a ladder shot from Rayne, who then set the ladder up in the middle of the ring. As he climbed, Dylan was back into the ring, grabbing his leg and throwing him down with a powerbomb. As Dylan turned to the ladder, Eric dropkicked it back at him, sending Dylan flying to the outside.
With everyone down, Eric took his chance to climb the ladder. Oliver attempted to intercept, climbing the ladder and the two brawled. Rayne looked to knock both from the ladder but Eric ended up forcing Oliver down, and he collected Rayne as he fell. Eric reached up, grabbing the key and taking the win!
Winner: Eric Weaver

Ringside Segment
Richie Miller: What. A. Match.
Art Foster: What a match indeed, Richie, and what a win for Eric Weaver!
The lights dim around the Orleans arena signalling a hush to fall amongst the 9,500 fans that have turned up to see Legacy’s first SuperShow, New Wave. The opening power chords to Joe Walsh’s ‘Turn to Stone’ start to resound around the arena and the crowd go mild.
Art Foster: We’re set to see several debuts tonight, as everyone knows - tonight, we met the new General Manager of Legacy Wrestling.
The crowd’s reaction is slightly muted when the owner of the music appears at the top of the aisle. He runs a hand through his blonde hair and smiles as he moves to adjust his Boston University Red tie against his blue gingham shirt. The suit he has paired with it is navy blue and evidently made-to-measure. He nods acknowledgement to the crowd as he begins to walk down the aisle; his hand firmly gripped around the handle of a black leather suitcase.
Richie Miller: Have you got notes on this guy, Art? I wasn’t briefed about this?
The fans seem cool to the newcomer, his sharp appearance denoting little of what fans feel about him.
The man is passed a microphone from ringside and pushes the briefcase under the bottom rope and into the center of the ring. He pauses, briefly, to take in the scene once more, before leaping onto the apron and between the middle rope in a smooth, fluid fashion.
Richie Miller: Whoever he is, I’m going to predict that the briefcase isn’t just a fashion accessory!
Art Foster: I’d side with you there, Rich. However, he needs to be quick, the fans have been rabid all night for the matches Legacy have put on and won’t want to be kept from them for too long!
The murmurs within the crowd hush, the low LEG-A-CY chant that had started to work its way, Mexican wave style, throughout the Vegas arena, dying down with it. The man waits for a second, seemingly determined to make sure he has the full attention of the crowd, before he opens his mouth.
Man: Good Evening, Vegas!
The cheap pop attempt seems to work as the crowd cheer the unknown man’s greeting.
Man: We’re here at THE FIRST LEGACY Wrestling Supershow and it’s great to see how many of you have ventured out to witness it…
Richie Miller: He’s milking the fans in the cheapest way possible!
The crowd continue to roar their appreciation, clearly warming to the newcomer.
Man: ...unfortunately, thanks to the Las Vegas Sin - it’s at the house that failure built!
The cheers stop abruptly at the cheap shot at the women’s football team.
Art Foster: The fans aren’t going to be on his side talking trash about the LV Sin.
Man: What? It’s true, I can see it, I’d guess at least five out of ten of you can read the headlines. They were so bad that they relocated out-of-state last year!
The cheers are now being replaced by a slowly growing cacophony of boos.
Art Foster: They had to move, he’s making it seem like they ran away!
Richie Miller: They were pretty terrible...
Man: I’m only working off cold, hard, facts. Much like why I’m here tonight... I’m Cross Recoba, the man tasked with bringing excitement and showmanship to Legacy! Sure, you’ve got PerZag, maybe you’re a fan of Bolas De Arana, or Eric Weaver but I...I’m the best free-agent signing this place will ever make!
Art Foster: He doesn’t seem short on confidence. I’ve got some notes on Recoba and he seems a good prospect.
Richie Miller: He’s coming in fresh from the closure of Pure Amusement Wrestling, he’ll have to get used to not getting a pre-match meal in from the Candy Floss stall!
Recoba lifts up the briefcase and places it on the turnbuckle, he unlocks it and flips up the lid showing a briefcase full of cash.
Richie Miller: I knew it! He’s going to buy the company!
Cross Recoba: Now, I’m not competing tonight; why would I? I get the chance to see the ‘bright lights’ of Legacy compete in their biggest matches to date and take notes. It’s literally free market intelligence! Instead, I’m going to give twenty-thousand dollars to anyone who can escape one of my signature moves, Garibaldi’s Guillotine…
Art Foster: From the brief research I have in front of me that hold has NEVER been broken!
The crowd’s attention has been captured by the promise of money.
Richie Miller: Who cares, I’ll break the hold for twenty large!
Cross Recoba: This money isn’t coming from Legacy, it’s not coming from the pocket of the, yet to be announced, General Manager - this is from my own pocket! For you guys, it’s like your welfare checks have all arrived at once...for me, it’s a Sunday night, but - I know some of you may be disappointed, no matter who steps up to the challenge...you can all say that you were present when Cross Recoba made his debut!
The boos have returned once more.
Cross Recoba: So, who here in the Orleans Arena wants to try and win TWENTY...THOUSAND...DOLLARS?!?
The crowd once again make some noise, the camera pans to show a sea of hands rise. Recoba walks over to the ropes and leans over, trying to find someone worthy of the challenge.
Art Foster: He could make a bigger impression donating the money to any number of charities!
Richie Miller: C’mon, Art, money talks and well...you know what walks.
He rolls out the ring and selects an everyman in every sense; a slight paunch, receding at the temples, maybe early-thirties. He wears an Alex Jones t-shirt, and jeans. Security help the everyman over the barricade and he walks up the steps and into the ring.
Recoba rolls under the bottom rope and picks up the microphone once more.
Cross Recoba: Can you tell the arena, your name, and maybe a little about yourself?
Recoba puts the microphone in front of the man.
Man: I’m Jacob Corkram, lived here in Vegas all my life!
The crowd, easier to please than a Trump fan at Ellis Island, cheer for the hometown reference.
Art Foster: This fan can become a hero to this sold-out arena!
Jacob Corkram: If I win the challenge I’ll be treating my family to Thanksgiving at Disneyworld!
Richie Miller: He’d be more of a hero if he bought a beer for us all, that makes more sense. Take out the kids, that’s probably half the crowd, he could easily comp us all a cold one!
The cameras catch Cross Recoba visibly rolling his eyes at the last sentence. He extends a hand for Corkram to shake.
Cross Recoba: Pleasure to meet you, Jacob...best of luck…
Corkram reaches out to shake Recoba’s hand but instead is pulled into a stiff kick to the gut. Recoba drops the microphone and lifts the prone man into a piledriver position before stepping over his arms and tucking his legs under his arms.
Art Foster: This is nothing but a common assault!
Richie Miller: This is great!
Recoba pulls back, wrenching the man’s back further. Corkram screams out in agony as road agents start to run down to the ring. Recoba’s face is now painted with a sick smile across it. Corkram’s face is shown in a close-up to be saying ‘I QUIT! I QUIT!’ but the hold remains.
Art Foster: Someone needs to stop him before we have a lawsuit on our hands here!
Richie Miller: Here come the cavalry!
A road agent climbs onto the apron but Recoba drops Corkram to the floor and grabs the briefcase before sliding out of the ring. The road agents rush to make sure the fan is okay while the camera catches Cross clutching the briefcase and backing down the aisle as his music comes out across the arena PA, masked by boos.
Art Foster: Sorry, fans, I cannot condone what you just saw! We’ll be going back to our regularly scheduled matches as soon as we make sure that Jacob Corkram is able to be moved to an area of the building he can receive treatment!
Richie Miller: He knew what he signed up for, Recoba couldn’t go half-speed on his debut appearance!
Ringside Segment
Richie Miller: Next up we have an exciting match between Katie Anderson and Allison Sullivan.
Art Foster: It will be interesting to see if recent personal events have affected her in ring showing.
Richie Miller: Katie may possibly be feeling like she has something to prove but I don’t think Allison will make it easy for her.
One on One Match
Allison Sullivan vs Katie Anderson
From the onset of the match Allison was quickly on the offensive striking Katie with a Spinning Heel Kick followed quickly with a Leg Sweep. Before she could even attempt the pin, Katie had rolled clear and scrambled to her feet. Using Allison’s frustration to her advantage she landed her own attack with a well executed Powerslam for a two count.
Not wanting to lose the momentum Katie was quick back to her feet and pulled Allison up with her but as Katie prepared to strike, Allison connected a hard elbow to Katie’s chest knocking her back slightly. Allison capitalised by getting behind Katie and sending her to the mat with a German Suplex. She was unable to achieve the three count however with Katie kicking out strongly on the two.
Both women took the opportunity to roll to opposite sides of the ring to regain their composure before Katie went on the attack, backing Allison into the corner with a flurry of lefts and rights. Allison managed to regain control whipping Katie into the ropes but the control was short lived as Katie caught Allison with a Sunset Flip on the rebound in the centre of the ring.
Katie locked in her Peachtree Lock finisher and despite a valiant effort from Allison she had no choice but to tap.
Winner: Katie Anderson (submission).
Ringside Segment
Art Foster: Katie certainly showed she meant business there.
Richie Miller: You could see she was determined to pick up the win and do so in style.
Art Foster: She certainly made her presence felt in her first match in a Legacy ring.
Richie Miller: Up next another two of the promising women from the female division, Amber Owens and Kate Steele.
Art Foster: I think under normal circumstances these two women are quite evenly matched.
Richie Miller: It’s going to prove interesting to see which woman comes out of this with their hand raised.
One on One Match
Amber Owens vs Kate Steele
As the bell rang the two women quickly advanced on each other in the centre of the ring and starting pummeling each other with a series of lefts and rights.Amber managed to gain the early advantage with a Spike DDT. She attempted the pin straight away but still so early in the match Kate easily kicked out on one.
Amber waited in the corner for Kate who was slow up but she was caught unawares when Kate advanced quicker than expected and managed to connect a Chop Block. Kate followed through with a series of punches and a nicely executed Shining Wizard after knocking her to one knee. She herself attempted a cover but Amber kicked out at two.
Amber rolled away from Kate and was quick to pull Kate to her feet by the hair. A Backbreaker and Neckbreaker combination from followed from Amber as she gained momentum. Amber locked in the STF but with her foot under the bottom rope a break was forced.
Both women were down and took the opportunity to gather themselves and take a breather. Kate was the first to rise and used the opportunity to land an Elbow Drop to the gut of Amber. Kate stood, stalking Amber, and hoisted her up, dropping her with her Go Home Driver. Kate covered Amber, scoring the three count.
Winner: Kate Steele (pinfall)
Art Foster: What a fantastic victory for Kate!
Richie Miller: Last time out things didn't go how she wanted, but this may go some way toward helping her recover from that disappointment.
Backstage Segment
Scene opens back stage with Peter Benson along with Eric Weaver. We see Eric holding the key that he won earlier in the ladder match
Peter Benson: Great showing out there tonight Eric, anything you want to say?
Eric Weaver: Yes there is, first off that ladder match holy hell.
Eric runs his right hand over his hair. We can hear the ladies in the stands cheering for Eric.
Eric Weaver: I now hold this key and later on tonight I will be in the ring opening a case to who knows what.
Peter Benson: Well if you had your choice what would you want?
Eric Weaver: the only thing I would really want is a guaranteed contract but hey I will take anything they offer me.
Peter Benson: I see, well what if you do get that contract but it’s for Legacy and not for Honor Pro, what then?
Eric Weaver: Then I will remain in Legacy full time. You see Peter I said this before and I will say this again. I work for Zack Goldman so were he feels I am needed that is were I will be.
Peter Benson: So to be clear if you opened up a case and it had a Honor Pro contract…
Eric Weaver: Then I go to Honor Pro, A job is what I want more then anything where that job is will be up to the bosses and his GM’s.
Peter Benson: Is there anything else Mr. Weaver
Eric looks away from the camera and looks at Peter, he then looks to the side of Peter. Eric is seen waving someone over. The camera zooms out a bit and we see Legacy’s newest signings Ryan Goode enter the picture.
Eric Weaver: I want to let everyone know about this guy right here. His name is Ryan Goode, now the fans here tonight got to see him in a match before the start of the PPV. The fans at home however were not so lucky. I’m sure the match will be on YouTube before the night is over so I won’t give away who won the match.
I want to introduce this man because I believe in paying it forward. You see in my last match I was able to walk out the winner vs. Perzag. The man went out of his way to shake my hand, I earned his respect and that goes a long way in this business. I want to go on record by saying if I do stay in Legacy and Perzag is ever in need of a tag team partner, brother you got one right here in Eric Weaver.
Eric looks at Ryan Goode and extends his hand to Ryan, Ryan extends his and the two shake hands.
Eric Weaver: Ryan you did really well out there tonight. I can see that you can be a future star in this company. Since I been here I have been welcomed by staff and stars alike from Legacy, Honor and even from some of the Pride superstars. I want everyone to know that what you all see in me, I see in Ryan Goode.
Peter Benson looks at Ryan Goode
Peter Benson: One dark match in this company and you already earned the respect and support of one of the top Legacy wrestlers who may be getting called up to Honor Pro Showdown brand. How does that make you feel?
Ryan, still in his gear and clearly surprised at being interviewed, smiles gamely.
Ryan Goode: It feels great. I really appreciate what Eric Weaver is doing for me here; giving me a chance to introduce myself to the people at home watching New Wave, as well as complimenting me as he did. I only hope I can live up to the praise he just gave me.
He turns and addresses Eric directly.
Ryan Goode: Congrats on winning the Sin City Ladder Match. After that performance you more than deserve whatever is in the case you wind up opening.
Art Foster: Alright, next up is a match I am very excited for, Richie!
Richie Miller: Is it because it is contested between three gorgeous ladies?
Art Foster: ...no, it's because the match was an open invite, with Mary-Jane calling out any and all who dared. Marisol Hawkes and Courtney Leinart took the challenge, giving us this triple threat match.
Richie Miller: With MJB representing Legacy in this one, she had better win...or we all look like clowns.
Mary-Jane Braxton vs Courtney Leinart vs Marisol Hawkes
The three ladies started in a corner each. Marisol and Courtney initially focused on Braxton, taking turns to beat her down. The fans booed, but neither woman cared. After tossing her around like a ragdoll and trading various moves on Braxton, the temporary alliance fractured with Courtney attempting a quick roll up on Marisol, hoping to take her off guard, but ultimately failing with just a two count.
Marisol stood and wiped Courtney out with a Divine Grace. She yelled at Courtney, clearly annoyed. She pulled her up, threatening a second Divine Grace, but Braxton jumped Marisol from behind, taking a measure of revenge with a combination of varied kicks and stomps. She climbed to the top rope, but was intercepted by Leinart. Courtney attempted the suplerplex, but Braxton resisted, forcing her back to the mat. Mary-Jane leaped, landing a senton bomb, but was taken down with a backstabber from Hawkes.

Marisol attempted a cover on both women, Mary-Jane first, but only achieved a two against both. Hawkes climbed to the top turnbuckle and dived, looking for her Divine Forgiveness on both woman, but Braxton rolled away and Hawkes only hit Courtney. Marisol stood and Braxton caught her with her Brax to the Future move! Braxton covers Hawkes, scoring the three.
Winner: Mary-Jane Braxton (Pinfall)
In-Ring Segment
In the ring as we see six briefcases in a row on top of a table. Legacy commentator, Art Foster, can be seen holding two microphones. Eric Weaver's music starts top play Take Five starts to play as we here the jazz beat coming we see Eric Weaver coming from the curtains.
"Won't you stop and take A little time out with me Just take five"
Eric waves at the fans as he walks down the ramp.
"Though I'm going out of my way Just so I can pass by each day Not a single word do we say It's a pantomime and not a play Still, I know our eyes often meet I feel tingles down to my feet When you smile, that's much too discreet Sends me on my way"
Eric slides in the ring from underneath the bottom ropes.
"Wouldn't it be better Not to be so polite You could offer a light Start a little conversation now It's alright, just take five Just take five"
As the music fades we see Eric holding his right hand in the air which we see the key he won earlier today. The ladies in the stance all chant his name. Eric gets handed a microphone by Art.
Art Foster: Eric, congratulations on your win earlier tonight!
Art Foster: Eric, congratulations on your win earlier tonight!
Eric Weaver: Thank you very much, I said earlier that I didn’t care what was in the case as I’m sure whatever it is it will be great and worth the trouble of getting past four other men.
Art Foster: The only question now is which briefcase will you open?
Art Foster: The only question now is which briefcase will you open?
Eric uses the key to open up the briefcase of his choice. Eric opens the case….and reveals a stack of cash inside.
Art Foster: You have picked case one, and scored yourself a nice one hundred thousand dollars, in cold hard cash!
Art Foster: You have picked case one, and scored yourself a nice one hundred thousand dollars, in cold hard cash!
Eric looks at the money at hand. He nods and with s smile.
Eric Weaver: I want to say thank you to everyone I’m sure the company wouldn’t mind me doing this as I feel it is what is best for everyone. This money while I can use it, I feel that I can find a better use for it. Legacy is a new company that has made Las Vegas there home. I believe that there are times we here at Legacy should give back to the great city that has allowed us to make this are home. Since October is breast cancer awareness month. I would like to donate this briefcase to a local Las Vegas breast cancer support group.
Art shakes his head, but goes along with it.
Art Foster: There we have it then. Eric Weaver, class act and humble even in victory!
Art shakes his head, but goes along with it.

Art Foster: Next up comes the number one contender's match for the Legacy Championship.
Richie Miller: That's right, the always entertaining Bolas up against the...strange Teo.
Art Foster: Where is your money on this one?
Richie Miller: For me? Bolas all the way.
Number One Contender Match for the Legacy Championship
Bolas De Arana vs Teo
After their respective entrances, Bolas and Teo circled each other, before locking up in the middle of the ring. The two struggled, but Teo eventually backed Bolas up against the ropes and Irish whipping him, catching him with a spinning wheel kick after the rebound.
Teo went to work on Bolas' arm, locking him into an armbar which Bolas managed to reverse into a pinning attempt, scoring a two count. Both men stood and exchanged punches, with Teo managing a belly-to-belly suplex, driving Bolas to the mat. He moved to the top rope, landing a 450° Splash but was unable to pin Bolas beyond anothertwo.
Teo pulled Bolas up, Irish whipping him again. Bolas ducked the clothesline and countered off the rebound, flooring Teo with a Thesz press. He followed up, assaulting his opponent with two stomps and then an elbow to the side of the head. Bolas continued his attack, but missed with a slingshot forearm and ate an exploder suplex for his trouble.
Teo climbed to the top turnbuckle and went for his Monster Pop shooting star press, but missed and landed squarely on his chest. He groggily got up and Bolas span him around, hitting his...MILF Driver and covering him for the three count!

Art Foster: And what a match. Fantastic effort from both competitors.
In-Ring Segment
Following the entrances of Alyssa and Espearanza, Joseph Mayes stands in the ring, microphone in hand.
Joseph Mayes: I have just been informed that, due to her family's loss earlier in this week, Alicia Lukas will no longer be appearing tonight.
The crowd reacts with booing and jeering.
Joseph Mayes: And therefore this match will now once again be a number one contender's match for the Legacy Women's Championship!
Art Foster: What the heck?
Richie Miller: Wow! Well I guess management were left with no choice?
Art Foster: These two women thought they had a title match, but that's not the case any longer.
Richie Miller: These two will both always be ready for anything. Either way, my money is on Esperanza, and with the contendership up for grabs, this is about to shape the Legacy Women's title scene for some weeks to come.
Number One Contender Match for the Legacy Women's Championship
Empress Esperanza vs Alyssa Drew
The match began with the two women circling the ring. Esperanza had some choice words, but Drew seemed undaunted by them. They locked up, with Drew managing a headlock takedown, which the Empress countered into a headscissors on her own. Drew rolled backward, grabbing Esperanza's arm and threatening an arm bar, but was instead swept from her feet and dropped to the mat with a stiff punch to her knee.
Esperanza stood, pulling Drew from the mat and returning her to it with a German suplex. Drew was quickly up, but was caught into a side walk slam. Esperanza attempted a pin, but only scored a one. She smugly looked at Drew, slapping her head and pulling at her hair, driving her face first into the mat again. The Empress looked to pull Drew up again, but Alyssa countered into a quick roll up and scored a close two count.
Both women got to their feet, with Esperanza charging but Drew dodging her attacking, ducking and rolling, grabbing her leg and forcing Esperanza into a single legged Boston crab. Drew knelt, looking to inflict maximum damage to the leg. Esperanza clawed and pulled, eventually managing to grab the ropes. The referee pulled Drew away after she released the hold, and Esperanza slipped from the ring to the mats outside.
Alyssa followed her, looking to drag her back into the ring, but was instead slammed face first onto the ring apron. She rebounded, staggering up against the commentary table. Esperanza sent Drew flying over the table with a harsh lariat, forcing her to where the commentators had been sat. She climbs onto the table, garnering boos as she poses for a moment, before hopping down again to drag Drew up to her feet.
Empress Esperanza slammed Drew's head against the table once, twice, three times. A small cut looked to have formed on Alyssa's cheek. Esperanza lay Drew on the table and stood on it, looking to score a package piledriver, but Alyssa resisted and back body dropped Esperanza clean off the table, back first down to the mats outside the ring. Alyssa dropped to a knee, looking to catch a breather and wiped her cheek of the pooling blood.
Hopping down from the table she dragged Esperanza back into the ring. Esperanza stood, groggy, and was caught with a tiger suplex. Drew crouched, stalking her as she tried to climb straight back to her feet. Drew went for a second tiger suplex, but Esperanza countered, dropping Drew to the mat. She charged forward, rebounding off the ropes and cut Drew down with a spear. As Drew climbed to her feet, Esperanza caught her with her Bow to The Empress finishing move, driving Drew face first onto the mat. She covered, looking for the win, but somehow Drew kicked out at two!
Frustrated, Esperanza screeched at the referee, pulling at her own hair. Drew began to groggily stood, but Esperanza barely noticed as she shoved the referee away. She turned and dodged a clothesline, instead catching Drew with her Empress's Kiss move, dragging her to the mat covering her for the three!
Winner: Empress Esperanza (pinfall)
After the match, the bloodied Alyssa was attended by medical staff, whilst Esperanza walked away, smirking at her handy work.

Art Foster: Was a victory for Esperanza, our new number one contender for the Legacy Women's title!
Richie Miller: But what now for Alyssa? Left bloodied and beaten, she will be bitterly disappointed at having missed out today.
Art Foster: Hopefully she's not too hurt.
Richie Miller: Now then, folks, there is only one match left tonight and what a match it is going to be!
Art Foster: That's right, Richie, our first ever Legacy Champion will be crowned right here tonight.
Richie Miller: Now then, folks, there is only one match left tonight and what a match it is going to be!
Art Foster: Alexander Rave, PerZag or Aiden Morrow. One of those men will walk away with the title gold. Let's head down to the ring.
Legacy Championship Match
Alexander Raven vs PerZag vs Aiden Morrow
The fans began to cheer as all three men circled each other in the ring, anticipating the referee ringing the bell to start the main event. Once the bell rang\ PerZag and Alexander immediately turned and teamed up on Aiden Morrow. Aiden ducked under their initial attacks, using his speed to evade them by rolling under the pair as they charged in with a double clothesline attempt and dealing a kick to the gut of PerZag, but Alexander Raven used a chop block to the back of the leg to drop Aiden down, giving PerZag and Alexander a chance to soften him up.
They whipped him into the far turnbuckle and alternated turns delivering running clotheslines to him in the corner, leaving him stumbling out and into a double vertical suplex. The duo of PerZag and Alexander worked well together early, lifting Aiden up allowing Raven to take shots at his midsection while PerZag held his arms, but things began to fall apart after the two dropped Aiden with a strong back suplex / neckbreaker double team, but PerZag immediately covered him for a two count that was disrupted by Alexander, who argued that “he” was the one who was going to get the pin. The short lived partnership died when Alexander slapped PerZag, who took a step back and smirked before leveling the smaller wrestler with a strong and explosive clothesline, but as he posed and argued with fans in the front row, he did not notice Aiden Morrow rising to his feet. By the time he turned around Aiden had him measured up perfectly for a standing Enzuigiri.
Aiden stood up, getting a pop from the crowd after the kick, but he immediately turned his focus to Alexander Raven who had rolled out to the floor. Throwing caution to the wind, Aiden hit the far ropes and built up a head of steam, running and leaping over the top rope with a jaw dropping spaceman plancha that sent both he and Alexander Raven crashing onto the steel entrance ramp at ringside, bringing a large round of applause and cheers from the fans.
Aiden lifted Alexander up, but as Raven got to his feet he quickly fired an uppercut to Aiden’s groin, drawing the ire of the crowd. With Aiden doubled over, Alexander dropped him again with a swinging neckbreaker on the floor, leaving the high flyer grounded as Alexander slid back into the ring where PerZag had gotten back to his feet. Alexander charged and ducked under a grapple attempt from PerZag, hitting the ropes and rebounding with a springboard back elbow, but PerZag surprised the entire arena when he turned and caught him mid-air, turning the tide with an incredible and impressive bridging back suplex!
The referee slid into position and counted! 1!.....2!...... but Alexander managed to kick out, getting back to his feet, holding the back of his head from the impact. PerZag got back to his feet and moved to attack, but Alexander sent him throat first to the middle rope with a drop toe hold. He measured him up and hit the ropes, but before he could come back to assault, Aiden grabbed his foot from the outside, tripping him up. Alexander fell face first to the mat, and immediately Aiden climbed up to the ring apron and dropped a springboard split leg moonsault on him!
Seeing PerZag starting to stir, he passed on a pinning attempt and instead lifted Alexander to his feet and drove him into the mat on his head with a quick and compact Brain Buster! Alexander rolled out of the ring after the impact, and PerZag was quick to grab Aiden by the hair and pull him into a reverse suplex. Aiden hit hard, but tried to get up quickly, sending a drop kick PerZag’s way, but the agile athlete managed to dodge the kick, dropping a quick elbow down across his back, grounding him long enough to go up to the top rope, looking for his “Death from Above” moonsault!
Aiden stumbled to his feet and PerZag took flight, but Aiden sensing the danger stepped through and ran to the corner to avoid the attack, causing PerZag to land awkwardly, tweaking his knee. He stumbled and clutched his knee, and after shaking off the pain, he was met with a Flying Knee from the top rope for Aiden Morrow!!! The flying knee dropped PerZag and stunned him. Aiden looked around the ring, not seeing Alexander Raven anywhere. He decided it was time to put the match away, stepping out to the apron looking for his “Flying Morrow Smash” but before he could soar with the flying forearm, he was met with a cold steel chair shot to the small of the back from Alexander who had snuck around the ring after acquiring the chair!
Morrow slumped down on the apron before being pulled down to the floor by Raven who then slid back in with the chair still in hand. He stalked PerZag who continued to shake off pain in his knee, and as he turned Alexander swung the chair for his head, but PerZag juked back to avoid the strike and then dove, spearing him to the mat! The fans cheered as PerZag grabbed Alexander by the hair and sent him flying out of the ring by throwing him head first through the ropes to the outside near the commentary team.

The fans cheered as PerZag grabbed Alexander by the hair and sent him flying out of the ring by throwing him head first through the ropes to the outside near the commentary team.
PerZag posed for a moment, jawing with more fans on his way out of the ring, and was met with a quick drop kick to the already tweaked knee from Alexander, who then stripped the ringside commentary table of its monitors. He bounced PerZag’s head off of the table and then the two climbed up onto the table as the fans began to come to their feet anticipating a train wreck. Alexander hooked PerZag looking for the “Raven Rage” Jackhammer, but PerZag attempted to block it. Firing punches to the ribs hoping to loosen the smaller wrestlers’ grip. Alexander began to lose his grasp and released PerZag, but neither man expected Aiden Morrow to run the guard rail in an amazing balancing act, and then launch himself through the air crashing into both of them with a running flying crossbody that sent all three men off of the announce table and down to the floor!
Chants of “holy shit” begin to rumble in the crowd as Morrow gets to his feet, shaking the ill effects of the previous chair shot. He grabbed PerZag by the hair to throw him back into the ring, but PerZag busted free and sent him shoulder first into the ring steps! PerZag then rolled Alexander Raven back into the ring, sliding in himself, with Morrow not far behind, but clearing favoring his shoulder.
PerZag lifted Alexander Raven to his feet and whipped him into the corner, but Raven grabbed the corner ropes and slingshotted himself up and over the charging PerZag, drop kicking him in the back and sending him face first into the turnbuckle pads. PerZag fell and rolled into a seated position at the bottom turnbuckle, and Raven immediately connected with another low drop kick before turning around and ducking under an oncoming Aiden Morrow! Both men ran to opposite sides of the ring hitting the ropes, but it was Morrow ducking and connecting with a picture perfect slingblade in the middle of the ring!!! Morrow went to go for the cover, but PerZag quickly broke up the pinning attempt, dragging him off and pulling him up into a German Suplex, but Aiden countered, landing on his feet and taking PerZag down with a single leg takedown and quickly attempting to lock on a knee bar on the injured leg of the 6’5 Australian!
PerZag fought and clawed to get to the ropes successfully, and Aiden broke the hold cleanly. Meanwhile, Alexander Raven had gotten back to his feet and connected with a well placed spinning heel kick that dropped Aiden to the mat! Alexander quickly ran out of the ring and retrieved the steel chair, smacking the mat hard with it as he returned and stalked PerZag once more. He sent an underhanded shot to PerZag’s ribs, sending him staggering back against the ropes, the fans booed as Alexander came in for an overhead shot, but PerZag managed to grab him by the throat, choke slamming him hard to the mat! The fans gave a mixed reaction, which lead PerZag to turn and jaw with some of them, giving Aiden Morrow the distraction he needed to run across the ring and surprise PerZag with a Dragon Leg Screw Whip that left him on the mat screaming in pain!

The fans could feel it as Aiden looked out into the audience and then spun around as Alexander Raven charged at him! Raven kicked him in the gut and lifted him up for the “Raven Rage” Jackhammer, but Aiden countered the lift, spinning and landing on his feet behind him, He spun him around and went for the “No Fly Zone” Double Underhook Piledriver, but Alexander countered with a back body drop, but Aiden somehow managed to land on his feet and quickly leaped outside the ring before springboarding back in just as Alexander turned around, allowing him to connect with a devastating “Flying Morrow Smash!”
The springboard flying forearm nearly concussed Raven, dropping him hard to the mat right beside PerZag! Aiden looked to the top rope, his high-risk attitude shining through as he gave a definitive “its over” slashing gesture as he leaped to the top rope and came crashing down on BOTH men with the version of the Phoenix Splash, the AJ Bomb!!! The crowd was on its feet counting along with the referee as Aiden covered both men, for the 1……..2…...3!!!!
Winner: Aiden Morrow (pinfall)
The fans blew the roof off of the arena as Aiden’s music played and confetti fell from the ceiling as Ring Announcer Kara Ayers announced him for the first time as the Legacy Champion! Aiden raised the beautiful championship belt high above his head before clutching it tightly to his chest as the celebration continued, while PerZag was helped to the back by the referee and Alexander Raven rolled to the floor, holding his head in pain.
Art Foster: That was an epic battle!
Richie Miller: And it's Aiden Morrow who emerges victorious, managing to pin both men at once!
Art Foster: What better way to crowd our brand new Legacy Champion? Well done to Aiden Morrow!
Aiden throws the Legacy Championship over his shoulder and walks to the corner of the ring, calling for a mic. The microphone is handed to him and his music cuts and the fans cheers for out as Aiden raises the mic up to his lips.
Aiden Morrow: Tonight, I did what everyone doubted that I could do. I wasn't supposed to be here. I wasn't supposed to be the Legacy Champion. I was supposed to be breaking my back doing construction work… Not breaking my back doing something I love, which is wrestling.
A loud pop comes from the crowd as a huge smile runs over Aiden’s face.
Aiden Morrow: I never dreamed of being here. Not because I don't believe in myself but because I don't like to get too far ahead of myself. I like to stay grounded and humble and as your Legacy Champion, that's exactly what you're going to continue to see out of me. This belt? It doesn't change me. I'm still the same Aiden Morrow you've all grown to know. But there is something… Well, someone who's changed me.
Aiden looks out to the crowd and points at his girlfriend, Joey Reyes, who's standing in the front row.
Aiden Morrow: Joey, get in here with me.
The fans cheer as Joey hops over the barricade and gets in the ring. Aiden grabs her and pulls her in for a tight hug. He then let's go and looks down at the belt on his shoulder before looking back up at Joey.
Aiden Morrow: I wouldn't be here without you. Not just because you've helped me train lately and hone my craft… But because you've believed in me since day one. Because you took on a single father and his three year old son and made them part of your responsibility. Because while everyone else thought I wasn't good enough, you knew I was good enough to do this. I'm… No, we’re here because of you. I love you.
Aiden leans in and kisses Joey and the fans cheer loudly. Aiden’s theme song hits the PA system and Joey then grabs Aiden’s hand and lifts it in the air in victory while Aiden uses his other hand to lift the Legacy Championship in the air.
