Dr. Meinheimer (2021)

Dr. Meinheimer 2021 was the thirteenth Dr. Meinheimer event, held on May 2, 2021. The show was highlighted by Batista defending the World Heavyweight Championship against J-Pac, Kane, and the survivor(s) of a three-on-three elimination tag match, DEFAULT facing off against Sevendust in a First Blood match, and Jay Lethal putting the United States Championship on the line against Drew Thunder.

==Background==
The ultimate night of survival known as Dr. Meinheimer is rapidly approaching, and the championship reign of Batista may already be on life support. At In My Ass, The Animal retained the gold by disqualification when Kane made his monstrous presence felt. This especially didn't sit well with the challenger J-Pac, who specifically told Commissioner Kane that he didn't want to see either incarnation of him getting involved in his match. Some time after the event, Kane's office was ransacked. Inflamed by the incident, the commissioner stated that he didn't know who was responsible but claimed that they would be held accountable. With that in mind, he declared that J-Pac will challenge Batista once more for the World Championship. However, there would be an added element of unpredictability by having the survivors of a six-man elimination tag match challenge for the title as well. Not only that, the two would also have to compete against the demon who interfered in their match at In My Ass: Kane himself!
The six potential challengers for the title aren't without conflicts of their own, however. Since reuniting, Edge and Christian have declared themselves the franchise team in SvR06. This was a claim that The Pranksters took exception to, feeling that they were the measuring stick of the tag team division. The two would suggest that The Pranksters were nothing more than an off-brand Edge and Christian and sought to prove it at Dr. Meinheimer. When the opportunity arose to compete for the championship, Edge and Christian looked no further than the former multi-time champion Dynamite Derek. In response, The Pranksters reached out to a man who had unfinished business with Dynamite Derek from the Fest. None other than Ricardo Diaz. 
There's a lot of bad blood going into Dr. Meinheimer, but it looks like some of it might just spill over when DEFAULT seeks to avenge the attack on Winslow at the hands of the sinister Sevendust. After months of tormenting the members of the Wiley family, Sevendust made good on his word to make a blood sacrifice by extracting it from Winslow before what was supposed to be a scheduled contest. DEFAULT claimed that Sevendust had Winslow's blood on his hands, so now he was going to get Sevendust's blood on his by challenging him to a First Blood match at Dr. Meinheimer. 
The World Title won't be the only gold up for grabs at the event. Newly crowned United States Champion Jay Lethal rubbed people the wrong way by the way he went about claiming the title from the legendary Macho Man. Lethal insisted that he meant no disrespect, but only that he wants to be a better version of those that paved the way for him. One of his most vocal critics has been Drew Thunder, who claimed that you don't become a legend by standing on the shoulders of those who came before but rather by forging your own path. The Master of Drew-Jitsu has set his sights on getting the United States Title back, but Lethal has no intention of cutting his path to immortality short. 
An opportunity at tag team gold will be on the line as well as Rob Van Dam and Rey Mysterio take on the newly-christened Very European Kingdom. Cesaro was able to become King of the Ring at In My Ass, partially due to the targeted attack on Mysterio's notoriously debilitated knee by he and Dupree throughout the evening. Will they be able to capitalize on this royal victory by earning a shot at the World Tag Team Championship or will the high flyers roll them up and smoke them? 
What would Dr. Meinheimer be without elimination tag matches? Things will be taken to the extreme when Intercontinental Champion Tajiri aligns with The Dudley Boyz to take on the trio of Buki, Chris Masters, and Mark Jindrak in a tornado style Tables match. While those six men will be looking to prove themselves worthy for greater opportunities, another man will be looking to prove others wrong. Daivari has suggested that Suggs McGee is nothing without him and has been using Knox and the Hardcore Champion Big Show to further drive home his point. The tag team of Thick & Thin offered their support to Suggs, looking for an opportunity to prove their doubters wrong as well.
