BROOKLYN, NEW YORK
MAINSTREAM WRESTLING IS LIVE FROM BROOKLYN, NEW YORK FROM THE BARCLAYS ARENA...HOME OF THE BROOKLYN NETS!
The opening breakdown of "King of Amarillo" by Issues hits the PA, getting a loud, immediate response of cheers from the crowd. The lighting near the entrance turns gold, vapor starts hissing out of the fog machines, and A.J. Morales's highlight reel starts to play on the 'Tron. The Revolution himself emerges from behind the curtain, headbanging along and playing air guitar. He keeps this up until the first verse comes in, at which point he starts walking to the ring and giving fist bumps and high-fives to anyone in the crowd who reaches towards him.
GRAHAM STEVENS: Making his way to the ring...from San Francisco, California, weighing in at 187 pounds...The Revolution! A! J! Moooooraleeeeees!
As the chorus hits, A.J. climbs onto the apron and vaults himself over the top rope with a somersault. He pops up to his feet and gives a clenched fist salute to the side of the crowd facing the entrance ramp. He repeats this salute on all four sides of the ring, ending with the side facing the hard cam. For this last one, he looks directly into the camera, and after he drops the salute, he mouths “Mírame” before turning to his corner, taking off his jacket and beanie, draping both objects over the ring post, and limbering up for the match.

★★★ HOPE AVILA ★★★
★★★ A.J. MORALES ★★★
vs
★★★ HOPE AVILA ★★★
The bell rings and it’s A.J. Morales and Hope Avila whom lock up but the collar-and-elbow only lasts a half-second before Morales knees Avila in the gut, creating an opening for him to slam her down to the canvas. As she rises back up, he doubles back to run the ropes, picking up steam and unleashing with a low dropkick right to the face as soon as he’s in range and makes a cover for 1...2—KICKOUT!
Avila tries once again to grapple with the Revolution, but he counters her chain-wrestling right into a fireman’s carry, which he immediately exploits to hit her with an ushigoroshi. He doesn’t go for a cover yet, though, instead peppering her with light kicks designed more to provoke her than anything else.
Hope slowly rises to her feet, shrugging off A.J.’s prodding attacks, until finally—SMACK! She chops him right in the chest! He staggers back, clearly surprised at the strength of it, but soon regains his footing, steps back up, and—SMACK! Chops her right back! She stumbles even farther away, and that leaves her wide open for A.J. to follow up with a roundhouse kick! Then an axe kick! And a right hook! Palm strike to drive her into the corner! He turns and jumps to the second rope, springs off—gets her with a headscissors! She hits the canvas facefirst!
Avila rolls out, looking absolutely beat to hell. Morales, on the other hand, climbs a turnbuckle and throws a clenched-first salute to the crowd, and the people of Brooklyn raise their fists right back. He lowers his arm and turns his attention back to Hope, a mischievous gleam in his eye…
As soon as Hope is in range, A.J. pounces, twirling through the air for—ARE YOU F#QKING KIDDING ME?! HE MISTY FLIPS ONTO HER SHOULDERS AND HITS A POISONRANA! Both wrestlers are down.

Morales is wobbly as he gets up, but a fan tosses him an unopened water bottle, which he chugs down as he waits for Hope to slowly climb to her feet, using the ring skirt to pull herself up. She reaches a kneel and starts to stand when—BAM! F#QKIN’ SLAYERRRR! That superkick stuns her, and Morales easily slots her back in the ring.
With Avila pretty much out of it, all Morales has to do when he gets in the ring is lift her up from behind into a wastelock and...SLAM! A German suplex! He keeps it hooked, switching his hips as he gets up...SLAM! Another German! Still not letting go, and to put the exclamation point on it...SLAAAAAM! German number 3 to complete the Smokin’ Kombo! He holds it down for the bridge for 1...2...3!
GRAHAM STEVENA: Your winner by pin fall is A—J...MORALES!
CHARLES HUDSON: I can’t believe you beat the boss at the biggest event of the year and you are welcomed back with open arms!
MCKAYLA LEWIS: It sure is nice to see A.J. Morales back inside a Mainstream Wrestling ring!
CHARLES HUDSON: Let’s not forget about an awesome debut by Hope Avila!
MCKAYLA LEWIS: You’re right Charles! I see a lot of ‘hope’ in the bright young future of Hope Avila! Now let’s go to commercial and when we return we’ll have more action for you!
