## Storylines

Heading into the event the main feud was between Iestyn Roberts and Thornton le Clay despite the two not having a match with one another since Seasons Beatings. Having lost the title at Gan Radge following interference from Iestyn Roberts, Thornton le Clay addressed his rival on episode 15 and laid out a challenge for the Welsh man. In the coming weeks if he could beat Rex Bundy, Fujimoko and finally Jack Ketch he could face le Clay at Game Over. On the next episode Roberts faced the first of his challenges - Rex Bundy. Roberts would go on to win the match and offer Bundy a handshake after the bell only to receive a German suplex. On the May 1st episode Roberts faced Fujimoko with his manager Ko-Lee. The two fought in a hard hitting match that saw Ko-Lee interfere on more than one occasion. Once the manager had been ejected Roberts picked up a win but was attacked by Thornton le Clay after the match and dropped with a Pedigree. On episode 18 during an interview with Nick Lovejoy Roberts stated le Clay had "put him through Hell these last few months" and at Game Over he was going to "put him [le Clay] through 3 stages of Hell". In his final test Roberts faced the executioner Jack Ketch. The last time the two had come face to face Roberts left on a stretcher. It looked as though Roberts would lose again, being counted out outside the ring following a Powerslam. However Thirteen teleported to ringside flanked by Atticus Poe and Abel Constantine (The Shoreditch Vampires) and attacked Ketch before teleporting away, leaving Roberts the only man in the arena and winning by default.

On Episode 15 Thirteen appeared backstage on top of General Manager Walter Church's limousine, threatening the arrival of The Supreme Master. At By Popular Demand Thirteen broke into the GM's office and waited there for him, once the GM arrived he threatened to call security. On episode 16 The Nightmare Luchador teleported reigning champion Austin Jones from the ring to the backstage area during his match with the debuting Bad News Jackson. Backstage the masked wrestler speared Jones into a breaker box electrocuting the champion. Later in the episode Thirteen cut a promo informing Walter Church that he had been instructed to "break his shiny new champion". On the May 1st episode Austin Jones came to the ring and called out Thirteen who appeared behind the champion before attacking him. The two teleported away again with Thirteen throwing Jones from the top of a trailer in the car park. The fall rendered Jones unconscious and he would miss the next episode of World Championship CAWs. With Jones in the hospital Thirteen announced he would face the Champion "in the dreamed realm" where his incorporeal form would "take his championship".

Over Wrestlemania weekend WCC produced a special "one off show" By Popular Demand where all matches were generated by randomizing participants and stipulations. The main event was a triple threat match between Akiko, Delilah Black and Sara Saint for a guaranteed Women's Title match. Akiko went on to win. On episode 16 Akiko, accompanied by Cherry Pi faced Rosa Diablo. Akiko picked up a routine win but after the match, she and Cherry Pi were attacked by Jessica and Sara Saint. On episode 18 Akiko, whilst being interviewed backstage by Jordan Chang challenged Jessica Saint to a World Championship match.

During episode 15 Rattigan ran into Raze backstage with the two having a verbal confrontation. Following the main event Rattigan attacked Warmachine who was victorious over Percy Bolton. On the following episode Rattigan faced Commonwealth champion Raze in a losing effort, unhappy with the result Rattigan attacked the referee and berated Raze but didn't see Warmachine who slid into the ring and hit Rattigan with a spear before delivering an F5. The following episode Warmachine was scheduled to face Raze however the match never started - with Rattigan attacking Warmachine as he made his way to the ring while Rex Bundy scrapped with Raze backstage preventing him reaching the ring. Following the events of the previous weeks Raze, Rattigan, Warmachine and Rex Bundy were placed in a tag match. Rattigan was set to team with Bundy, but once the bell rang the Gypsy King left his partner to face Warmachine and Raze alone. The outnumbered Bundy would concede defeat.

On episode 15 Tag Team champions, The Bombay Bad Boyz (3B) faced the Shoreditch Vampires in tag action. Following a back and forth 3B looked to have the match won and with the referee counting to three the lights went off and the Vampires vanished.

## Event

### Preliminary Matches

The event began with a pre-show match pitting Fujimoko against Flashy Freddie Armani. Armani had offended both Fujimoko and Fujimoko's manager Ko-Lee during an interview on May 15th edition of The Salon. The Dragon King handily defeated Armani and, following instruction from his manager attacked him after the match, shaving his opponent bald.

The event opened with General Manager Walter Church coming to the ring to thank the fans for tuning in and announced that the next year was going to be bigger with the introduction of new superstars, tournaments and even more action.

Afterwards the main show began with the tag team title match. The Wolverines faced reigning champions The Bombay Bad Boyz in a standard tag team match. Following a superkick from Karma Mistry to DJ, Victor Wolfe broke up the pin. He then took out Ali Kazam on the ringside before brawling with Mistry who was looking to finish DJ. Mistry managed to fend off Victor but in doing so forgot about Davey Joe and turned around into a sharpshooter and tapped out, giving The Wolverines the victory.

The second match of the night was for the Commonwealth championship and was a fatal four way between holder Raze, Rattigan, Warmachine and Rex Bundy. The match saw numerous near falls with all four men getting in their signature moves. Eventually with Warmachine and Rattigan brawling outside the ring Rex Bundy hit Raze with a German suplex and covered to win.

The following match was for the Women's championship and saw Akiko take on Jessica Saint. Jessica dominated early on with Akiko managing a few hope spots including a huge suicide dive over the top rope. With Jessica looking to pick up the win Cherry Pi emerged from the back to help her partner but was intercepted by Sara Saint. The two brawled on the stage and required separating by match officials, with the referee distracted Jessica blinded Akiko with Poison Mist and hit her with an X-Factor. The referee returned to the ring and, following another X-Factor Saint won and retained the title.

The penultimate match of the event was a conceptual match with Austin Jones facing Thirteen in his dreams. The dreamed realm match appeared as a video game with references to The Legend of Zelda, Castlevania, Resident Evil, Mortal Kombat and Pokemon throughout. During the bulk of the match the men involved appeared in pixelated form until the final showdown between Austin Jones and Thirteen. With Austin knocked unconscious after being thrown from the truck trailer Thirteen entered his unconscious mind where the two did battle. The match began with Austin receiving a steel chair from Walter Church and fighting his way backstage through a swathe of enemies. Once backstage he came face to face with a nightmare version of himself who he had to defeat. He did so by throwing the doppelganger from the same trailer he had been thrown from. He then encountered Thirteen who teleported away before the two could do battle. While still in the backstage area he battled Jack Ketch and headed back to the ring. Once in the ring Jones once again fought himself, easily overcoming the doppelganger before Thirteen appeared. The two had a regular match with Jones coming out on top after a Sweet Chin Music.

### Main Event

The main event of the show was a 3 stages Hell match between Thornton le Clay and Iestyn Roberts. The first stage was a standard match with Roberts eventually coming out on top following three Swansea Swings. The second fall was a Street Fight with no DQ stipulations.

Le Clay dumped Roberts to the outside where he attacked him with a baseball bat before spearing him through the barricade at ringside. Roberts mounted a brief comeback putting le Clay through one of the commentary tables but le Clay would pick up the win following a DDT on the ring apron. With both men having a win a piece the steel cage descended for the third fall. With le Clay on top Roberts mounted a comeback and with one more Swansea Swing picked up the win.
