James Kennedy - Hometown

'Hometown' is a Pop Rock song & the 3rd song on the 2017 James Kennedy album 'Home'. The words, music & production are by James Kennedy.

Like other songs on 'Home', 'Hometown' is about appreciating the 'normal' things in life and accepting them even with with their flaws and imperfections. One night whilst walking over Wood Street Bridge in Cardiff and seeing the stadium, river & night time revellers around him, it hit Kennedy just how many experiences he'd had in the town and that even though he'd taken it for granted and walked past that same point a thousand times before, the town was a huge part of his life, whether he wanted it to be or not. That was where the seed for 'Hometown' began. Kennedy wanted the song to be universal so no mention is made of anything suggesting Cardiff or Wales in the lyrics and Kennedy didn't want to incorrectly glamorise anywhere in order for them to be appreciated, so the song focuses more on the fact that Hometowns are often times 'imperfect' and that that is part of their charm. Kennedy talks of towns being 'knackered and shut down' but that they're still where you became who you are and made your 1st memories.

The song is an upbeat Pop Rock song with a crowd chanting chorus, Drums, electric Guitar, Bass, acoustic guitar & vocals. It was the 2nd single from the album 'Home' and the video features original footage taken from around South Wales with Kennedy's long time video collaborator Scott Carey.

LYRICS

I know sometimes we love to hate it
But let’s show a little celebrating
And raise a glass for the times that have passed
In this town, even when it’s knackered and shut down
I don’t take it for granted now
I can see it was on these streets

Where I felt like a loser, felt like a King
Got my heart broken and fell in love again
It’s no fairy tale but this is the land
Where the stories were written that made me what I am so…

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Always remember from where you came
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
‘Cos home is where the heart is
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
We both change but it stays the same
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

Slow down, just take a minute
And know now the moment while you’re in it
And raise a glass for those that have passed
‘Cos I’ve been over to the other side
And I think that we’re doing alright
And I’m proud of this town

Where I made my mistakes and paid my dues
Met a few legends and nutters too
I made the best of you and a mess of me
But you couldn’t put a price on these memories so…

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Always remember from where you came
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
‘Cos home is where the heart is
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
We both change but it stays the same
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Always remember from where you came
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
‘Cos home is where the heart is
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
We both change but it’s always the same
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
These Girls

## Lyrics

I've been all through the country
From L.A. To Kentucky
Met a good girl in Houston, but she knows
That there are bad girls in Paris
No, they wanna get married
And some beautiful ones in Tokyo

Some go to college, some go to model
Some diggin' for that gold
Some flying solo, some gonna stay at home

Ooh, I want 'em all (these girls)
The ones that you bring home to momma (these girls)
And the ones who love all of the drama (these girls)
I swear there's way too many, tryna fall for one
But I can't help it, I just wanna love all

the independent ones with money
(These girls) the crazy ones that love to party
(These girls) I swear there's way too many, tryna fall for one
But I can't help it, I just wanna love all

Hollywood girl, tryna be like Rihanna
And I can't choose one I just gotta be honest
Oh, I don't know how to decide
Too many girls on my mind
Too many girls, all be fine

Ooh, I want 'em all (these girls)
The ones that you bring home to momma (these girls)
And the ones who love all of the drama (these girls)
I swear there's way too many, tryna fall for one
But I can't help it, I just wanna love all (these girls)

the independent ones with money
(These girls) the crazy ones that love to party
(These girls) I swear there's way too many, tryna fall for one
But I can't help it, I just wanna love all

Hollywood girl, tryna be like Rihanna
And I can't choose one I just gotta be honest
Oh, I don't know how to decide
Too many girls on my mind
Too many girls, all be fine

Ooh, I want 'em all
The ones that you bring home to momma
And the ones who love all of the drama
I swear there's way too many, tryna fall for one
But I can't help it, I just wanna love

Ooh, (these girls)
The ones that you bring home to momma (these girls)
And the ones who love all of the drama (these girls)
I swear there's way too many, tryna fall for one
But I can't help it, I just wanna love all (these girls)
The independent ones with money (these girls)
The crazy ones that love to party (these girls)
I swear there's way too many, tryna fall for one
But I can't help it, I just wanna love all
Deminor Shadowborn (Earth-10)

**Deminor Shadowborn**, known in Earth-1 as **Madame Macabre,** is an evil sorcerer from Earth-10, the former ruler of the Kingdom of Breniel and currently a threat to Earth-1 and enemy of the Hypermen.

## Powers and Abilities

Madame Macabre is a skilled sorcerer, being able to bend reality to her will much like Faust or Crimson Dawn. She was also endowed with the power of darkness by the Nameless One, allowing her to corrupt other empowered beings to do her bidding.

## Personality

Macabre is, as the name implies, a lover of the macabre and grotesque. She has an odd, almost sexual obsession with twisting beauty into horror and purity into wickedness. She's resentful, wishing to bring suffering into the Multiverse because she never knew happiness in her life. It is believed that the Nameless One's powers twisted her mind into madness.

## Biography

### Early Life

Madame Macabre was born as Deminor, in a region of Earth-10 known as the Underdark; an assortment of underground caves beneath the continent of Astorien. Deminor had no father, with some rumoring she was grown spontaneously in her mother's womb thanks to the very darkness of her homeland, thus granting her the name Shadowborn. She was born in Lilith, an underground city known as the world's greatest hive of scum and villainy. It was on that awful place that she discovered her magical powers and met the Cult of the Nameless One, and offered her soul to him in exchange of power.

### Rise and Fall of the Shadowborn

The crazed and powerful Deminor rose to the surface and found the Kingdom of Breniel, a bountiful and happy place. Envious, she vowed to take over the whole kngdom and twist it into her own personal hell. With an army of the undead, she conquered Breniel and brought it to an age of darkness, but a group of brave adventurers defeated her and banished her to the Void.

### Arrival in Earth-1

After eons stuck in between dimensions, she found her way to Earth-1, the Hypermen's Universe. Under the name of Madame Macabre, the sorcerer found a young metahuman named Cooper Armstrong and made him her plaything, torturing him and twisting him into the creature known as Stretch Monster. When a teenager broke into her lair and stole one of her artifacts, the Canister of Gluttony, Stretch took the opportnity to free himself from her grasp and return to his friends, the Hypermen. She has since been looking for him, and for a way to take revenge on this new world with a new army of monsters and abominations.

## Trivia

* Madame Macabre's character is actually the villain from a completely different RPG campaign by GM Rafael, the Dungeons & Dragons campaign Legends of Breniel.

### **Issue #25 -** **Sour & Sweet!**

After defeating Purple Haze's psychedelic powers, the Hypermen are focusing on finding a way to stop Noeticus. As Silver Knight seeks an answer with the Secret Society of Sorcerers, he gives the rest of the team a quick break, letting them enjoy a day off with their friends and loved ones.

Trish invites Glugut to visit a new nightclub called The Sweet Tooth. In the nightclub, they get offered candy, and have teh time of their lives as they dance all night long. However, soon Gordon realizes there's something wrong, as they've spent hours dancing while it seemed like mere minutes. Investigating, the glutton superhero finds out that the nightclub was a ploy by one of his nemesis, Candyman, who laced the candy with Dip in order to control them. Glutgut helps Trisha snap out of it and together they fight the villain, ultimately defeating him and freeing the club's patrons, but the villain escapes.

Meanwhile, Matryoshka arrives at the Hyperdome, telling Crimson Dawn that she defected from the Red Scare and escaped the Soviet Union, wanting to live in America with him. Together, the two go on a romantic date, which is interrupted by the rest of the Red Scare attacking them to punish their former member for escaping. Dawn tries using his magic, but the Soviet supers have a new member: Spellbreaker, a Chinese wizard hunter with the power to nullify magic. She successfully kidnaps Crimson Dawn, but his apprentice Professor Mistery and fellow Hypermen Stretch and Doc manage to rescue him. As the Soviets run away, Matryoshka goes into hiding.

Back at the base, the heroes, now together, listen as Silver Knight tells them what he discovered. Turns out that there's only one being in the whole Multiverse who knows how to stop Noeticus: Trixxy, the Cosmic Prankster.

Red Scare (Earth-1)

El Condor

Tunguska

The **Narodnyye Chempiony**, more commonly known as **The Red Scare**, is a team of Soviet superhumans that was active during the Cold War. They antagonized the Hypermen on multiple occasions, but helped them stop the 1962 Relesian Invasion.

 Formation

### Red Wolf (Lenin Vuklodlak)

A factory worker who got superhuman strenght after a nuclear accident.

### Matryoshka (Matryona Tikhonovna)

A mutant with the power to divide herself into multiple clones, similarly to a Russian doll.

### El Condor (Francisco Pajaro)

A Cuban guerrilla who found an indigenous amulet that gave him wings and superhuman sight.

### Tunguska

An alien with light-based powers that was raised on the Soviet Union after he landed on Earth as a baby.

### Bot-Shevik - *Destroyed*

An intelligent android built by the Soviet government. It was destroyed by Hyperia in 1962.

## History

### Foundation

The Narodnyye Chempiony (People's Champions) was founded in 1958 by Soviet chairman Nikita Kruschev, in association with the KGB's Supernatural Department, as an answer to the American team Hypermen. The team's goal was to serve as a foil to the American supers, as well as performing special missions, protecting the Soviet territory from threats, and serve as poster children for the Communist Party. After American media started referring to them as "The Red Scare", team leader Red Wolf chose to embrace the moniker.

### First Confrontation with the Hypermen

After the team was sent to America to steal the nuclear launch codes, the Hypermen were summoned by A.L.I.A.S. to locate and stop the Soviet supers. In an abandoned subway station in Paradise City the Scare was using as a makeshift base, the American heroes fought the Communists, resulting in Bot-Shevik's destruction. During the battle, Visitor persuaded Tunguska to help the Hypermen by promising to take the alien back to his home planet, giving them an edge. Red Wolf managed to defeat Paladin, but was knocked out by Hyperia. Defeated and humiliated, the team was deported back to behind the iron curtain, except for Tunguska, who remained on America so Visitor could pay his promise.

### The Cuban Missile Crisis and Relesian Invasion

When the USA decided to put nuclear missiles in Turkey, the Soviet government retaliated by placing nuclear warheads in Cuba. When war seemed to be inevitable, Kruschev sent the Red Scare to Washington DC in order to force JFK to surrender. In the White House lawn, they met their American foes once again, but before they started fighting the Hypermen revealed a bombastic secret: Aliens had infiltrated both governments in order to trigger a nuclear holocaust. After some arguing (and a little help from a returning Tunguska), the two teams decided to work together and stop the alien threat. As the Hypermen invaded the Relesian mothership to stop Emperor Kronuz, the Red Scare fought the alien ground troops at the streets of Washington.
Kyshera - Behind These Lies

'Behind These Lies' is an Alternative Rock song & the 2nd song on the 2015 Kyshera album 'Circle'. The words, music & production are by James Kennedy.

In 'Behind These Lies', the central character is confessing that although they are now living the life they always wanted, it has not made them happy and that the life of a celebrity comes with many facades that they are now tired of having to hide behind. The Chorus is him saying to his fans (and his younger self) that 'you want to be me' but that he wants to be them - i.e. 'normal' again, even if it comes with struggles.

Musically, the song is a fast paced, rhythmic, Riff based song featuring Latin Percussion throughout and was a favourite at Kyshera live shows.

LYRICS

Hold your empty symbols, empty hero’s to the light
If you wanna see just what I see when I look inside

I don’t wanna be me, you don’t wanna be you
So why don’t we be, someone else
You wanna be me, I wanna be you
We’ve gotta be free, from ourselves

‘Cos I’m just living life as actor with a Plastic Crown of Thorns
And all the time what I really was after was what I had before
Keep those Demon’s at your door
And just be careful what you wish for

I don’t wanna be me, you don’t wanna be you
So why don’t we be, someone else
You wanna be me, I wanna be you
We’ve gotta be free, from ourselves

You don’t wanna live behind these lies
You don’t wanna live behind these lies
You don’t wanna live behind these lies
I don’t wanna live behind these lies no more

I don’t wanna be me, you don’t wanna be you
So why don’t we be, someone else
You wanna be me, I wanna be you
We’ve gotta be free, from ourselves

One day we’ll see, one day we’ll feel
One day we’ll be, just ourselves
Won’t wanna be me, won’t wanna be you
We will never be free, as someone else

But are you ever gonna let me leave
Help Me Help You (feat. Logan Paul)

## Lyrics

What do I wear?
I only told you twelve times
The first dress that you put on is still your best find
We've been sitting in this dressing room for hours
I need a break baby I don't have the brainpower

When you ask me my opinion
I'm always sure to be your minion
Girl, you're kinda like long division
Everything is difficult
Help me help you

Girl what you trying to do
'Cause I don't got a clue
No, I ain't no Scooby Doo
(Help me help you)
'Cause I'm hungrier than you
I just wanna get some food and you about to kill my mood
(Help me help you)
"Do these jeans make me look fat?"
Yeah I know you want the answer, but I'm smart and that's a trap
(Help me help you)
Oh, and here's a random fact
You still got my favorite hoodie and you need to give it back

It ain't that I ain't calling back
It's just you said you needed space
And so I'm staying out your way
It ain't that I ain't got your back
But you went out of your way to make that "k" a lowercase

When you ask me my opinion
I'm always sure to be your minion
Girl, you're kinda like long division
Everything is difficult
Help me help you

Girl what you trying to do
'Cause I don't got a clue
No, I ain't no Scooby Doo
(Help me help you)
'Cause I'm hungrier than you
I just wanna get some food and you about to kill my mood
(Help me help you)
"Do these jeans make me look fat?"
Yeah I know you want the answer, but I'm smart and that's a trap
(Help me help you)
Oh, and here's a random fact
You still got my favorite hoodie and you need to give it back
(Whoaa-oo-ooooo)

Baby girl when I ask you if there's a problem
Don't tell me you're fine. I know you're not fine
I just don't understand you, you steal the covers
And then you want me to cuddle you are you hot or are you cold?
Don't ask me if I think another girl is cute, that's a loaded question
What are you trying to do? What are you trying to make me girl?
We're on the same team, so just please just listen to me and hear what I have to say baby girl
(Help me help you)
Trust Fund Baby

## Lyrics

I don't want a girl who gets a car for her sweet sixteen
Or spends a stack of dollar bills on a limousine
I want a girl who takes the bus and who wears baggy jeans
Rockin' Nike Airs, what the hell are Louboutins?
Don’t want no fake tan, short skirt, daddy’s money don’t work
Shop until you drop on the town
I want a smart girl, stronger than her father
Someone who will laugh and tryna fit in the crowd (ah-ow, ow)

And all we used to dream about
Is getting rich and getting out
Move to the nicer part of town
Where we'd have numbers on our house
It took a while to figure out
What type of girl that I'm about
Who brings the real man out of me, yah

I don't really want no trust fund baby
I like my women independent
And I say to people, "that's my lady"
And we don't need nothing e-e-e-lse
I don't want no trust fund baby
Save your money, don't spend it
And I say to people, "that's my lady"
And we don't need nothing e-e-e-lse

I don't want a girl who take selfies, want her make up free
Don't want no mean girl lady, a pink prom queen
I want a girl who climbs trees, always dirt on her jeans
Her daddy told her how to fix cars, maybe she could fix me
I need a throwback kid who loves Missy Elliot
Who for my birthday, makes a mixtape and puts it on cassette
Want a girl with common sense, who's dripping in competence
Don't wanna die to get rich but she loves Fifty Cent (ah-ow, ow)

And all we used to dream about
Is getting rich and getting out
Move to the nicer part of town
Where we'd have numbers on our house
It took a while to figure out
What type of girl that I'm about
Who brings the real man out of me, yah

I don't really want no trust fund baby
I like my women independent
And I say to people, "that's my lady"
And we don't need nothing e-e-e-lse
I don't want no trust fund baby
Save your money, don't spend it
And I say to people, "that's my lady"
And we don't need nothing e-e-e-lse

I don't want no
I don't want no trust fund baby (no, I don't want me)
I just want me a proper lady (no, I don't want me)
I don't want no trust fund baby (no, I don't want me)

I don't really want no trust fund baby
I like my women independent (hey!)
And I say to people, "that's my lady" (that's my lady, na-na-na-na-na)
And we don't need nothing e-e-e-lse

I don't want no
I don't want no trust fund baby (no, I don't want me)
I just want me a proper lady (no, I don't want me)
I don't want no trust fund baby (no, I don't want me)
No, I don't want me
Melissa Mueller (Earth-1)

**Melissa Mueller**, also known as **Hyperia**, is a lab assistant and superhero operating in Paradise City. She's played by Roll20 user **Madwand** during the Hypermen: Rebirth campaign.

## Powers and Abilities

Melissa is currently the fastest person on Earth (Earth-1 that is), being able to fly faster than a jet plane. Her super strenght is nearly as great as Paladin's, and she's able to whitstand most kinds of damage. She can also heal people using her entropy control - as well as inflict damage and weaken the structure of objects.

## Personality

Melissa is strong-willed and independent, always being the first to act when something goes wrong. She's also extremely intelligent, possessing a great knowledge of multiple scientific fields. Unfortunately she's not much of a team player, often acting first before stopping and planning, which puts her in conflict with other members of the Hypermen.

## Biography

### Early Life

Melissa Mueller was an Applied Physics student at the PSI and Dr. Jack Walton's assistant. An excentric man with strange ideas, Walton was derided by his academic peers - but not by Melissa, who admired his uncanny ideas and love for science. She was also a major comic book geek, always reading the Hypermen comics and dreaming of being a superhero herself.

### The Wishing Machine

One of Dr. Walton's brilliant yet outlandish projects was the Wishing Machine, a device able to bend reality and create objects out of thin air by using anti-particles, and could react directly to the user's mind, effectively being a hi-tech genie in a lamp. Melissa was tasked with monitoring the process using ALICE, an advanced portable computer on her wrist.

### Gaining Her Powers

One day, as Melissa and Walton worked on the Machine, there was an energy spike that caused it to overload. As Dr. Walton yelled "Run!", Melissa witnessed the device exploding into a strange energy - and her mentor vanishing into dust. As the energy reached her, she felt a strange compulsion to make a wish, and wished for her favorite superpowers: super speed, super strenght, flight and healing. Taken by a sudden impulse, she used her newfound abilities to rescue all students as the Applied Sciences building started to crumble. The next day, she decided she'd use her powers to protect the city, inspired by the heroes she admired so much as well as the legacy of her brilliant master.

## Trivia

* Hyperia resembles Marvel superheroine Carol Danvers, also known by the aliases Ms. Marvel, Captain Marvel, Binary and Warbird.

Kyshera - Willing Prey

'Willing Prey' is an Alternative Rock song & the 3rd song on the 2010 Kyshera album 'Paradigm'. The words, music & production are by James Kennedy.

The song is one of the few traditionally 'song' structured tracks on the album with a standard 'verse, chorus' format. Lyrically the song is Kennedy comparing the morality of corporations with that of individuals in society & how we treat the 2 differently. Throughout the verses, Kennedy sings about a person committing all sorts of evils but in the chorus it is revealed that it is actually a corporation at large in society.

In the bridge section of the song, Kennedy plays on a quote from Stalin when he says that 'One crime and you are dangerous, but a thousand and it's only business'.

LYRICS

He attracts with a serving hand
Then attacks his prey with no mercy
Emotionless, he’s armed & dangerous
And he’s on the loose in your neighbourhood

He’s a law unto his own
Leaves a trail of wreckage & bones

But masquerade as a tower of tinted windows
Abort his name for the shield of a noble logo
Outsource the blame to someone elses ideology
And we’re willing prey, we’re willing prey

He will stop, stop at nothing
When he’s bled you dry then he’s coming for your children

But masquerade as a tower of tinted windows
Abort his name for the shield of a noble logo
Outsource the blame to someone elses ideology
And we’re willing prey, we’re willing prey

One crime & you are dangerous
But a thousand & its only business

He’s stalking you all the time
He wants to get inside your mind

But masquerade as a tower of tinted windows
Abort his name for the shield of a noble logo
Outsource the blame to someone elses ideology
And we’re willing prey, we’re willing prey
8 Letters

## Lyrics

You know me the best
You know my worst, see me hurt, but you don't judge
That, right there, is the scariest feeling
Opening and closing up again
I've been hurt so I don't trust
Now here we are, staring at the ceiling

I've said those words before but it was a lie
And you deserve to hear them a thousand times

If all it is is eight letters
Why is it so hard to say?
If all it is is eight letters
Why am I in my own way?
Why do I pull you close
And then ask you for space
If all it is is eight letters
Why is it so hard to say?

Isn't it amazing how almost every line on our hands align
When your hand's in mine
It's like I'm whole again, isn't that a sign
I should speak my mind

I've said those words before but it was a lie
And you deserve to hear them a thousand times

If all it is is eight letters
Why is it so hard to say?
If all it is is eight letters
Why am I in my own way?
Why do I pull you close
And then ask you for space?
If all it is is eight letters
Why is it so hard to say? (whoa oh, yeah)

Uh uh
When I close my eyes
It's you there in my mind
When I close my eyes

If all it is is eight letters
Why is it so hard to say?
If all it is is eight letters
Why am I in my own way?
Why do I pull you close
And then ask you for space
If all it is is eight letters
Why is it so hard to say?

If all it is is eight letters
When I close my eyes
It's you there in my mind (It's only you)
When I close my eyes
If all it is is eight letters
When I close my eyes
It's you there in my mind (you)
When I close my eyes
If all it is is eight letters

Rob Bartlett conducted a ringside interview with Luna Vachon, who said she was the woman of the 90s and the only thing strong about Sensational Sherri was her breath; Bartlett then noted Sherri was in the building, with Sherri then walking ringside and saying Bartlett was disgracing the WWF by simply interviewing Luna; the two continued to have words before Sherri attacked Luna, tore Bartlett's vest, and dropped Luna with a suplex on the floor; Sherri began choking Luna with a cord before Luna hit her with a monitor and tore open sherri's shirt; the two then fought into the crowd before Sgt. Slaughter hoisted Luna over his shoulder and carried her backstage; following the commercial break, Savage attempted to conduct a ringside interview with Sherri, who held his cowboy hat to cover her chest, before Luna returned; the two then briefly fought again before Sherri said she would face Luna any time.

Main Event 03: October 17, 2012

Lilian Garcia is the ring announcer for the episode. Dolph Ziggler takes on Zack Ryder.

## Event recap

### Dolph Ziggler vs. Zack Ryder

Unfortunately for the WWE Universe in attendance and viewers watching on ION Television, the evening also marked the first time the piercing shriek of Vickie Guerrero was heard on WWE Main Event. Nonetheless, the WWE Universe was treated to yet another high-octane contest pitting Dolph Ziggler against Zack Ryder. The longtime rivals — making their first appearances on WWE Main Event — are no strangers to each other and it certainly showed early in the contest.

Long Island Iced-Z and The Showoff have squared off numerous times in the past two years and the latest chapter in their storied rivalry was just as intense as when their animosity began. Momentum shifts remained equal; the screams of Vickie Guerrero did little to distract Zack Ryder as he took the fight right to the Money in the Bank winner.

As the self-proclaimed “Internet Champion” built up enough momentum to size up his opponent for the Rough Ryder, it appeared that he would pull off a huge victory on WWE Main Event.

However, Ziggler countered the maneuver, pushing Ryder over his head and into the turnbuckle. Dazed, Long Island Iced-Z was an easy target for the Zig Zag that secured the victory for The Showoff.

Following his victory against Zack Ryder, Dolph Ziggler claimed that the battle was too easy for him and he wanted a real challenge. Challenging anyone to a match on WWE Main Event next week, The Showoff may have bitten off more than he can chew as WWE’s hungriest Superstar answered the challenge — Ryback!

## Results

* **Singles match**: Dolph Ziggler (w/ Vickie Guerrero) defeated Zack Ryder

## Match results

* **Singles match**: Aja Kong defeated Chaparita Asari (4:04)

## Critical reception

* Scott Keith gave it \*\*1/2 stars. "This was seriously one of the stiffest matches ever seen on RAW. \*\*1/2 This was designed to push Kong to a title match when it was filmed, but by the time it aired Alundra Blayze was already on the outs with the promotion and that’s probably why they didn’t say anything about her on commentary. In fact they largely ignored the match and just spent the whole time making fat jokes."

## Notes

* Aja Kong's last match on RAW.
* Chaparita Asari's RAW debut and only appearance. She suffered a broken nose from Kong's stiff backfist.
* The women's division was scrapped shortly after this match. Another women's bout wouldn't take place until 1998.

Main Event 29: April 17, 2013

On this edition of Main Event, a Battle Royal sees Alex Riley, Justin Gabriel, and more compete to earn a shot at Wade Barrett for the Intercontinental Championship later in the night. Plus, a look back at some highlights from Monday Night RAW featuring AJ Lee and Vickie Guerrero.

## Event recap

### Battle Royal

Another chapter in the heated rivalry between WWE NXT alums Justin Gabriel and Wade Barrett is written as Gabriel won a high-stakes battle royal and challenged The Bare-Knuckle Brawler for the Intercontinental Championship.

Following Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett's defeat at the hands of R-Truth on Raw, it appeared as though Barrett's momentum since reclaiming the title 24 hours after losing it at WrestleMania was coming to a screeching halt. On WWE Main Event, The Bare-Knuckle Brawler kicked off the evening by acting as though he wasn't concerned about any of the battle royal participants. His nonchalant attitude quickly changed when he was interrupted by The Great Khali — who then proceeded to enter the contest.

Barrett watched the action from the locker room area as Khali, Justin Gabriel, The Usos, 3MB, Santino Marella, Primo, Epico, Yoshi Tatsu and Alex Riley tried to be the last Superstar left standing and earn an immediate opportunity for the title. Although former World Heavyweight Champion The Great Khali was certainly the biggest threat, the other Superstars in the battle managed to remove The Punjabi Playboy from the battle fairly early.

As the field began to thin out, the excitement from the WWE Universe inside Knoxville's Thompson-Boling Arena mounted. Following the shocking elimination of former U.S. Champion Marella, Gabriel managed to stave off elimination by Drew McIntyre, only to skin the cat and pull the former Intercontinental Champion to the floor below. As the South African Superstar regained his footing inside the squared circle, Primo charged forward but Gabriel's quick reflexes allowed him to secure the victory by countering Primo's attack, resulting in the Puerto Rican Superstar tumbling to the floor below.

## Results

* **Intercontinental #1 Contendership Battle Royal**: Justin Gabriel defeated Alex Riley, Drew McIntyre, Heath Slater, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Jinder Mahal, Primo, Santino Marella, The Great Khali & Yoshi Tatsu; Natalya Neidhart and Rosa Mendes were at ringside.

On this edition of Main Event, Kofi Kingston partners with Tons of Funk in defiance of The Shield's rampage for a Six-Man Tag Team Match between both of these trios. Footage from Dolph Ziggler winning the World Heavyweight Championship with AJ Lee at ringside.

## Event recap

### Tons & Funk & Kofi Kingston vs. The Shield

Just three nights removed from defeating Randy Orton, Sheamus and Big Show at WrestleMania 29, the treacherous trio known as The Shield invaded WWE Main Event and squared off with Tons of Funk and Kofi Kingston. The black-clad group — consisting of Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose — are looking to make an even bigger impact in WWE following their victory on The Grandest Stage of Them All. On Raw, they set their sights on The Undertaker, but regrouped once Kane and Daniel Bryan came to The Deadman’s aid.

Clearly, The Shield has shown their fearlessness when facing larger and more experienced opponents — a fact highlighted by their bout on WWE Main Event. Since their formation, Tons of Funk has been on a roll, and adding Kofi Kingston to their ranks for this bout brought forth a new, high-flying dynamic to the team.

The Shield are the masters of cohesion, however, and have thus far proven to be a formidable triad under any circumstances. The three brash Superstars controlled much of the bout, displaying the type of intensity and teamwork that helped earn them a victory on The Grandest Stage of Them All. That same unity is also what led to their victory on Main Event. With Tensai knocked to the outside, Rollins took down Kingston with a flying knee off the top rope. To prevent Clay from breaking up the three-count, Reigns took The Funkasaurus out with a powerful spear, allowing Rollins to pick up the win.

Following the contest, The Shield decimated their opponents and displayed their aggression and power by powerbombing both members of Tons of Funk.

## Results

* **6-Man Tag Team match**: The Shield def. Tons of Funk (w/ Cameron & Naomi) & Kofi Kingston
