## Story Lines

At Do Or Die, Amy Stewart had defeated Ashlee Ling in a number 1 contenders match for the Womens title, Stewart after the match would cut a promo on Amber McQueen, promising to end her title reign. On the same night, McQueen had defeated Tenille Dashwood to retain her Women's Championship. On the following episode of Revenge, McQueen would have a match against Jessica Bailey. McQueen would go on to defeat Bailey however general manager Tyler Slater was impressed with Bailey's efforts. A rematch between the two was set for the next episode of Revenge. However, when the match came around, before McQueen could make it to the ring, she was attacked by Stewart. The match between Bailey and McQueen never started. The following Revenge, Stewart would continue to make threats about ending McQueen's title reign. McQueen would come out and confront Stewart, implying that she had "bullied" her way towards the title. Stewart replied that McQueen would have to "accept that she would lose" at Bad Intentions. McQueen would clothesline Stewart before Slater interrupted, changing the match stipulation to an Extreme Rules match, he would also go onto mention that whoever won that match would have to then defend the title in a 6 Woman Ladder Match at the next PPV, Terminal Velocity.

At Defiance, Steven Slick and Jake Jackson had accidentally bumped into each other backstage. Slick took this as an insult and attacked Jackson. On the following episode of Revenge, Slick and Jackson had a one on one match against each other, with Slick winning and once again viciously attacking Jackson after the match. Injuring him for 3 weeks. Jackson would not reappear until the "go home" episode of Revenge where he defeated Slick in a match, both men were added into a fatal four way at Do Or Die for the Internet Championship. The match also featured Lance Mercer and Buzzsaw Black, the match ended with Jackson defeating all of the competitors to become the inaugural Internet Champion. Jackson would make his first title defence against Alex Saint on an episode of Revenge, where Slick would attack Jackson after the match again, this time with a kendo stick. Jackson at this point had enough, and demanded that Tyler Slater make the match official between Jackson and Slick for the Internet Championship, to which he agreed.

After retaining the title at Do Or Die, Curtis Young would have a match against Steven Slick. Young would defeat Slick, however after the match. Fulton came out and attacked Young from behind, this angered Young. Who on the following episode of Revenge called out Fulton and told him to "Come and get it". Olivia Martinez instead confronted Young on the titantron, calling him a "fool". Young however still demanded Fulton to show himself. Eventually, Martinez let Fulton confront Young, who told him that he was "a lie". Young ended up responding to Fulton referring to him as a "Jason Vorhess ripoff" and said that he would accept Fulton's challenge at Bad Intentions.

## Event

### Preliminary Matches

The show started off with the AWL Womens Championship match between Amber McQueen and Amy Stewart in an Extreme Rules match. McQueen and Stewart were both using weapons to their advantage, with McQueen using a ladder during the match to jump off and land a diving elbow drop onto Stewart, she had also put Stewart through a table with an O'Connor Roll German Suplex. However, no matter the offence McQueen was putting in, Stewart would constantly kick out. The match eventually came to an end when McQueen tried to end the match the same way she did at Defiance by putting Stewart through a table with a Superplex. However Stewart kicked out, this infuriated McQueen, as she hit Stewart with a Queentality right after, which Stewart still kicked out. McQueen hit a second consecutive Queentality to finally pin Stewart and retain the championship.

The following match was a Tag Team match between the newly formed team of Casey Natoli and Paul Garcia and The All Americans (CJ Arthur and Dean Ryan). This marks the first time Natoli and Garcia have been in a tag team together, but the duo eventually defeating The All Americans.

The next match was a singles match between Andrew Fletcher and Pac in a Best of 3 series. Fletcher and Pac were both tied at 1 match each leading into the event. Fletcher would end up defeating Pac after hitting him with a curb stomp. This would be Pac's last appearance in the AWL.

The next match was another singles bout this time between Jake Jackson and Steven Slick for the AWL Internet Championship. Jackson and Slick would go back and fourth in a match which many would consider to be even better than Slick's match against Tommy Marshall at Defiance. Eventually, Jackson hit a moonstomp on Slick to defeat him and retain the AWL Internet Championship match. The crowd were also beginning to show support and back Slick, despite him being a heel.

### Main Event

The fifth and final match of the evening saw Fulton take on Curtis Young for the AWL World Championship, this was also contested under Extreme Rules. Both men were using weapons on each other, particularly Young who had favoured using a chair to get offence on Fulton. Fulton also had a highlight in the match when he would spear Young through a table, almost causing Fulton to become the AWL World Champion. Eventually Curtis defeated Fulton after hitting him with both a Hammerlock DDT and a "Fall From Greatness" to win the match and retain the AWL World Championship.
