After the typical entrances and a last-minute commercial whoring of the program by XWA Management, the broadcast goes through the slow zoom-in from the rafters to the ring to show the fans, in an attempt to put the match into perspective. On one side of the ring is JHalc and David Michaels. On the other side of the ring is Tyler Lawson and Evan Flare. There isn't anything particular out of the ordinary when it comes to attire. Both teams seem to be discussing whom will start the match. After some debate, Tyler Lawson asserts himself as the starter for one side. Not in-coincidentally, David Michaels asserts that JHalc should start the match for their team, much to the chagrin of the Albuquerque live-audience.

Both men circle the ring with a certain focused demeanor. In another situation, perhaps JHalc would be more lighthearted, but this isn't the same Tyler Lawson he's defeated so many times before. They lunge at one another and go into a collar-end-elbow tie-up. Lawson gets the advantage early due to his advantages in both size and strength, as he turns the tie-up into a side headlock. JHalc firmly presses both hands into the side and back area of Lawson, allowing him a flat surface to push against. He slowly starts walking Lawson to the ropes, and as he gets Lawson off his planted feet, his job gets a lot easier. JHalc works it into a bit of a run and pushes Lawson off of him into the ropes. Lawson hits the ropes and returns to JHalc with a clothesline attempt that JHalc ducks underneath. Instead of running to the opposite side of the ring, however, Lawson stops dead in his tracks in the center of the ring. After a brief pause, JHalc turns around expected to catch Lawson with some offense upon return, and instead receives a right-hand to the side of the head, sending him sprawling backward.

Lawson follows up the right hand by taking a decisive step toward JHalc, firmly pressing his right hand to his pectoral area, while his left hand grabs JHalc's right wrist. Lawson presses him back toward the ropes and pulls him forward to transfer the momentum in the other direction, as he throws him across the ring for an Irish Whip. As JHalc sprints toward the ropes, Lawson follows him in a half-jog. As JHalc bounces off the ropes and returns, he catches a running knee into the mid-section from Lawson that flips him over. The “Jack of Hearts” (Whatever the fuck that means...) lands squarely on his back as he cries out in pain, clutching at his abdomen. Lawson bends over at the waist and reaches down with his big right paw and grabs a hand-full of JHalc's hair. He brings JHalc up to his feet, and once again grabs him by the wrist. He throws him into his corner. To avoid a referee interaction, Flare backs away from the corner as JHalc wraps his arms around the top rope and leans against the turnbuckle. Lawson walks cautiously over and reaches out his right hand to tag-in Evan Flare. Before leaving the ring, Lawson bends down at the knees and grabs JHalc just below his knees, as he pulls his legs up into his arm-pits. With a strong grip, Lawson pulls away, lifting as he does, pulling JHalc out of the corner and landing hard on his back once again. Flare grabs the top rope with both hands, pulls the rope down, and uses the momentum to catapult himself over the top, dropping a left-elbow into the pectoral area of JHalc.

The crowd explodes with cheers as the XWA audience is greeted mid-match by the first adversarial encounter between Flare and his former tag-partner JHalc. Evan hits the ground with a thud, but is quickly up to his feet as a basic elbow isn't worth attempting a pin-fall. Flare brings up with him JHalc, using similar means to his tag team partner Tyler Lawson. He grabs JHalc by the wrist and Irish Whips him as well. JHalc, apparently having found his second-wind, reverses the Irish Whip attempt and sends Flare for the ride instead. JHalc reaches his right arm out in a shallow hook, trying to land a hip-toss, but Flare fights through the hook and leaps forward, hooking JHalc's unprotected left-arm instead, performing a hip-toss himself. For the third time in the match, JHalc lands unprotected on his back, as his back collides with the ring creating a sound that echos throughout the arena. JHalc tries to alleviate by sitting up and getting his back off the mat, but his short-sighted plan back-fires as he catches Evan Flare's right-boot into the center of his back. The fans cringe at the sound it makes, but their facial expressions are no-match for JHalc's, which is obvious as the camera switches views and zooms in on his face. Flare drops down to one knee and puts JHalc into a chin-lock.

JHalc clutches at Flare's arms to try to break the grip, but struggles to do so. The seated position he's in doesn't help his cause. Once again, it appears JHalc catches a second-wind and begins to build his way up. He works his feet in close to his body and with a turn of his hips, completely switches the effect of the force from Flare from above. JHalc plants his free hand into the ground and uses it, along with his legs, to push himself off the mat. With the change in vertical discrepancy due to the change in posture from JHalc, Flare's grip is diminished greatly. In a bent-over position, Flare holds JHalc's head to his ribcage with his arms locked under his chin, but that changes when JHalc reaches back with both arms and throws an elbow into the stomach of Flare, causing his hold to come almost completely free. JHalc connects with a second elbow and his hold is now completely a thing of the past. JHalc stands up straight for the first time in about a thirty seconds. He reaches back with his right arm and throws a punch that sends Flare stumbling clumsily backward.

JHalc follows this up by pressing both of his hands into the chest of Flare, pushing him toward the rope. He grabs Flare by the wrist and sends him for an Irish Whip. JHalc walks into the center of the ring and bends down, connecting with a Back-Body-Drop as Flare returns. Flare shoots through the air and smashes into the ring with a sound similar to a car crash. JHalc is quick to turn around and pick Flare up by the hair. With Flare struggling to find balance, JHalc rag-dolls the smaller competitor into his corner. Right on time, JHalc charges forward with a lunging boot to the face of Flare. The impact snaps Flare's head backward as he loses all equilibrium and falls to the floor. Nova hops down off the apron and the referee returns to normal human capabilities. With the referee now watching, JHalc tags in David Michaels, who joins the action for the first time.

David Michaels steps into the ring and turns back toward his corner, grabbing Flare by the hair and pulling him up to his feet. David pulls Evan into him and connects with a quick snap-suplex, but upon impact rolls through toward Flare and uses the momentum to roll to his feet in a reverse-somersault. As he reaches his feet, he quickly drops back down to the ground (ten times!) and connects with ten separate elbow drops in succession. Michaels tries for a pin attempt but only manages a one count, despite Flare obviously still being troubled by the damage he's taken to this point. Michaels reaches down and grabs a hand-full of hair and picks Flare up once again. He reaches down and slots his head under one of Flare's arms while grabbing him by the thighs and lifting him into the air and connecting with an inverted atomic drop. Flare bounces off the mat with some theatrics to help sell the maneuver. Michaels shoots back to his feet and turns and runs in the opposite direction. He bounces off the ropes with Flare still nursing his ailment, and sprints toward him. Out of panic, Flare himself jumps into the air and connects with a dropkick that catches the entire arena off guard. Both men hit the mat, but Flare seems to take the brunt of the damage as he lays lifeless on his chest. The camera zooms in on Michaels who stares upward, trying to collect his thoughts.

After a few seconds, Flare gathers himself and starts to crawl toward Lawson for a tag-attempt, but doesn't get close before Michaels is able to grab him. Michaels pulls him away from the corner and drops an eleventh elbow of the match, this time onto the back-of-the-head area. Michaels reaches down again and picks Flare up. Once again, he Irish Whips Flare into his corner. He follows Flare and connects with a clothesline in the corner, while simultaneously tagging JHalc back into the match. JHalc steps into the ring to replace Michaels. He turns toward Flare, who stumbled out of the corner but dropped to one knee to try to gather himself, and sees an opportunity. He wraps his arm around his neck and drops to the ground with a snap DDT. After the impact leads to his face hitting the mat, Flare turns to his back as he lays motionless near the D-Volution corner. JHalc is slow to his feet, but in a calculated way, as he appears to be planning his next move. He moves toward his corner, grabbing Flare by the legs and locking him into a Single-Leg Boston Crab. This quickly wakes up Flare, who screams out in agony.

The fans start to pick up the noise, cheering on Flare. After the initial panic from the pain, Flare is able to think of the proper way to counter the attack, so he works himself into the submission, moving closer to JHalc. This temporarily allows JHalc's maneuver to create more torque, but it also allows Flare to get into position to counter strike. Flare plants both hands into the mat to create a higher center of gravity, and with his free leg, reaches up and kicks JHalc with his heel, breaking his hold and knocking him backward. JHalc is quickly back up to his feet and attempts to put Evan back into the submission, but Flare kicks him away with little effort. Flare gets back up to his feet and connects with a right hand that knocks JHalc backward. And another right hand, this time knocking him back even further. Flare plants hard with his right leg and turns quickly, looking to connect with a Spinning Backfist, but it's ducked by JHalc, who turns it into a Side Effect. Both men hit the mat hard, but JHalc gathers himself quickly and goes for a pin-fall attempt, but only gets a two count.

JHalc looks upset, but not surprised when he sees two fingers in the air from the official. He looks back toward Michaels, who says some things that aren't audible, likely about their offensive attack. Growing restless on the apron, Tyler Lawson starts getting the crowd involved. JHalc hears the fans cheers and looks to see what Lawson is up to - and he isn't happy about his long-time rival looking less than worried, which leads to a war of words between the two. Evan Flare is on all fours, trying to gather himself and get up to his feet. The yelling from David Michaels finally gets the attention of JHalc as he returns his attention to the matter at hand a second too late. As soon as Flare gets to his feet, he spins and connects with a Spinning Backfist that plants JHalc into the mat. However, Flare falls forward as well. Both men get on all fours and crawl to their corners. The crowd explodes with anticipation, as they tag in Tyler Lawson and David Michaels in at the same time.

Lawson charges into the ring, ready to kick some ass. He's fired up. He wants his hands on Michaels...where's Michaels? On the top rope! Avoiding the inevitable fistfight, and actually causing some boos as the crowd expected some action, the champ wisely goes for another tactic, scaling the turnbuckles while Lawson is busy scrambling through the ropes. Lawson notices just as the Showstealer comes off the top, but his Crossbody is stopped dead as Tyler stands his ground and catches the champion. The Instant Classic gets a sly grin on his face. He's got the chance to do some damage his sworn enemy, and he'll be damned if he doesn't do it. He makes sure he's got a good grip on Michaels, then flips him up, head down, swinging him over and dropping him straight over his knee with a modified Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker. Michaels arches backwards as Tyler holds him there for a few seconds. After spinning him about 90 degrees, he continues the combination by grabbing Michaels around the waist and throwing him back into a Belly-to-Back Suplex. As Michaels slides across the ring, teeth clenched, Lawson scrambles back over to him and makes a cover. 1...2...No, Michaels kicks out and immediately tries to dash away, but Tyler grabs him by the head, keeping the champ in place as he pulls him up.

After reaching his feet, Lawson brings Michaels over to the corner and drives his forehead into the top turnbuckle. David's head snaps back as he stumbles back away from the corner, but Lawson is right back on him and Irish Whips him right back. Michaels smacks back-first on the buckles, throwing a hand to his back upon impact. As he slowly walks out of the corner, Lawson bends over, gets low on his opponent, and lifts him up and over with a Back Body Drop. As Michaels slowly struggles to sit up, Lawson turns around, throws him back down, and hooks the leg for another cover. 1...2...Kickout again. JHalc stands in the corner, trying to cheer his partner on to make the tag as Flare is just now getting back to his feet on the other side. Lawson stays on the offensive. grabbing David's feet and quickly spinning him around. After positioning the Showstealer just right, he leans back, arms wrapped around Michaels's ankles, and falls, trying to slingshot his opponent back into the corner. David's feet hit the mat and he goes flying...but somehow manages to land on the second rope, putting his hands on the top to steady himself. As Lawson stands back up and turns himself around, Michaels springs off the ropes in desperation, spinning around and nailing the Instant Classic with a Forearm Smash.

Lawson is knocked to the ground, and he holds his face as Michaels falls flat on his back as well. After a few seconds, Michaels throws his legs up and pushes off, kipping up straight to his feet. A cheer flies up from D-Volution supporters as Michaels stumbles over towards his corner. He falls down to the mat, smacking JHalc's hand along the way, and the Jack of Hearts leaps over the top rope and back in to get back to work on his long-time rival. Lawson is just getting back up at this point, and as JHalc gets to him, he leaps up and floats over around the larger man's back before falling back the way he came and driving Tyler's head into the mat with a hard DDT. Lawson flips over onto his back, and JHalc is quick to make the pin attempt. 1...2...Not quite. As Tyler sits up, JHalc pops back to his feet and grabs Lawson around the head. After pulling the Instant Classic back to his feet, JHalc takes him back to the corner, where Michaels is waiting. The champion groggily sticks a boot up onto the top rope, and JHalc wastes no time in grabbing his opponent around the waist and falling straight back, driving Lawson face-first into Michaels's foot. It hits with a smack, and knocks the King of Xtreme for a loop.

As Lawson stumbles back and drops to a knee in the center of the ring. JHalc rolls out to the apron and slowly starts to ascend the ropes. Lawson holds a hand to his forehead until JHalc reaches the top, and the Jack of Hearts waits until he's back up to come off. After Tyler stands up and turns around, JHalc leaps forward, throwing his arm back to strike his opponent. However, Lawson sees this move coming, and ducks under his opponent, avoiding the arm while grabbing JHalc around the neck. As quickly as JHalc came off the ropes, he is sent down to his back by a hard STO from Lawson. Tyler's fans cheer at the counter, and Lawson immediately starts to push himself up, intent on making it up before his opponent. From his hands and knees, this is easily done. Tyler steps over his opponent and backs into the corner, leaning there as he waits for JHalc to stand. Once the Jack of Hearts is up, Lawson quickly moves in and grabs his arm, twisting it around over his head as he leads the smaller man towards his corner. He gets there and tags Evan Flare in, and it's time for some teamwork.

Lawson pulls JHalc's arm taught and wrenches it forward as Flare pulls back on the ropes. After springing himself over the top, Evan comes down with a Double Axe Handle onto JHalc's shoulder. JHalc groans and holds his upper arm as Lawson exits to the apron. Meanwhile, Flare takes JHalc's arm and twists around again, re-applying the pressure. He lifts his leg up and sticks it in JHalc's armpit, pulling hard on the arm as his opponent starts "AAAAH"ing in pain. After a few seconds of this, Flare puts his foot down and, still holding JHalc's wrist, pushes him into the ropes. He then pulls back sharply, driving his own shoulder sharply into his former partner's, leading to more grunts and JHalc throwing his left hand over the same shoulder. Flare reaches back and tags Lawson again, as Michaels can only watch his partner get double teamed. Flare leads JHalc over into the neutral corner only to pull as hard as he can and Irish Whip him back towards Tyler. The Instant Classic is ready and waiting, and as JHalc gets to him, Tyler shoves his upper body through the ropes and rams his shoulder into his rival's ribs. JHalc doubles over, holding his midsection, and starts stumbling backwards as Flare exits to the apron. Lawson is back in the ring soon after, and heads over to deal with his opponent some more.

After JHalc straightens his back back up and faces Lawson, the Instant Classic goes straight for the next move. He quickly grabs JHalc under his left knee, and around that same right shoulder. Without hesitation, Lawson pops his hips and launches JHalc into the air, driving him down into the mat with a T-Bone Suplex. This concerns Michaels, as that might just get Lawson the 3. As Tyler hooks the leg for the cover, the champion enters the ring and makes a break for them. 1...2...Michaels lands a boot to Lawson's left shoulder blade, pushing Tyler off of JHalc and breaking up the pin. The referee turns and yells at the champion, and Evan Flare sticks himself halfway through the ropes and into the ring, in case some funny business occurs. However, Michaels quickly throws his hands up and backs himself over toward his corner, exiting the ring just as Tyler climbs back to his feet. Lawson shoots a glare at the Showstealer, sharing a few choice words with him before reaching down and grabbing JHalc again. He pulls the former World Champion back to his feet, all the while hooking him up in a Front Facelock. After staring directly into Michaels's eyes for several seconds, he slaps his hand off of JHalc's back and drops into a hard DDT of his own, making up for the one JHalc gave him not long ago.

As Lawson rolls JHalc's limp frame over and goes for the pin, David Michaels again leaps into the ring and goes to break the pin up. This time, the referee sees him and quickly rushes over to restrain him and get him back to his corner. Lawson stands back up, really pissed that his pin attempt has been foiled again. After the referee coaxes Michaels back ouside to the apron, Lawson again drops down and tries to pin JHalc. The ref makes sure Michaels isn't coming in and makes the cover. 1.....2.....Kickout! JHalc just barely got out of that one. Lawson is incensed; he objects to the count, but the referee holds up two fingers, and his decision is final. Lawson is still in control though, and he can just keep piling on the punishment. He stands back up, cracks his neck, and reaches down to grab JHalc, who is still in la-la land after that DDT. After pulling his opponent back to his feet, the Instant Classic scoops him up and quickly deposits him back on the mat with a Body Slam. Normally, one would go for a pin here, but that's not really an option at this point, and Lawson has other plans. As quick as a flash, he spins around and lunges at the champion, ringing Michaels's bell with a hard forearm shot. The crowd pops big for what, normally, would have been a cheap shot, but here is well deserved. However, this pisses Michaels off greatly, and as Lawson turns around, the Showstealer leaps through the ropes and is on top of him in seconds.

The crowd breaks into a frenzy as the action in the ring does the same. Michaels starts pounding on Lawson's back, and Tyler turns around to return the favor to the "sexy boy"s sexy face. The two trade shot after shot with each other as the crowd eats it up. Finally these two have a chance to beat the crap out of each other. It's a great moment, as they trade right hands back and forth, reminiscent of their match in Pittsburgh two years ago. However, it's short-lived, as the referee shoves himself between the two and tries his darnedest to separate them. Even Evan Flare comes in and grabs Lawson around the waits, trying to pry Tyler away, but Lawson and Michaels just keep swinging at each other. Finally, Nova slides into the ring, too, and the combined force of her and the referee gets Michaels back to his corner, while Flare manages to get in front of Lawson and shove him off toward the other side. As Nova gets Michaels to calm himself down, Flare gets Lawson over to the corner and steps through the ropes, holding out his hand and asking Lawson to tag him in, for his own sake. After turning around to look at Michaels and seeing JHalc start to get up, Lawson reluctantly obliges, allowing Evan back in the match.

Flare gets over to JHalc just as he reaches his feet. Nova has just gotten Michaels back onto the apron and has dropped down closest to the camera. Flare locks JHalc into a Front Facelock, lifting the arm over his head and setting up for a Suplex. He lifts his former partner up vertically, but Halc somehow pulls a counter out of his ass, falling back behind Flare, landing on his feet, and dropping him with a desperation Neckbreaker. Lawson, shocked by this development, quickly sticks his hand back out for Flare to tag. But it's JHalc who is on all fours, or three, as one of them is clutching his lower back, crawling towards his own corner. He leaps forward and tags Michaels in, and the champ jumps through the ropes and makes a break for Flare. Evan has rolled over, both hands on the back of his head, but was trying to get back over to Lawson. However, Michaels gets to him first, and pulls him away from the corner by the foot just in time. From there, he steps over Flare's back and hooks the foot, locking in a Half-Crab for good measure.

Flare reaches out for the ropes, his saving grace, while Michaels wrenches the leg back as hard as he can. This submission is smart, as it not only wears down Flare, but also allows JHalc to catch his breath over in the corner in case Michaels needs him. Lawson tries to come through the ropes, but the referee quickly stops him, knowing what will obviously happen if he lets him in. The crowd starts to boo as he goes back through the ropes, but their attention is diverted as Flare starts to fight through the pain, clawing his way toward the ropes. As the camera's far angle also shows JHalc slowly pulling himself to his feet, still favoring his back, Evan claws, and claws, trying to get to the bottom rope...but Michaels doesn't let him, releasing the hold and again pulling him out to the center of the ring. However, Flare takes advantage of the momentary lapse, rolling himself onto his back and planting his foot on Michaels's midsection, shoving the champ away from him in order to scramble back to his feet. This would have been a much better plan if he had hit harder, though, as Michaels doesn't go back very far, and as Flare is on his hands and knees, the Showstealer has an easy time of leaping him, sticking his leg on Flare's head and taking him back down with a FameAsser. As the impact of that rolled Flare over, Michaels wastes no time in hooking the leg for the cover. 1...2...No! Flare barely kicks out, and Michaels isn't happy about it. After once again slowly pulling himself back up, the champ waves toward himself, calling JHalc's attention. He reaches out and tags the Jack of Hearts back in, then walks to a set position near the ropes, pointing his partner toward Flare's limp frame.

JHalc slowly gets himself back in the ring. Clearly, Michaels is the fresher man, but if the champ wants a double team, he's getting a double team. JHalc hobbles over to Flare and picks him up, this time hooking him up for a Suplex, instead of the other way around. After slowly setting up in front of Michaels - it seems like they're going for a DWI-type move, but it never comes to be, as Flare comes to his senses and sharply knees JHalc in the ribs. He gets released, and quickly lands a dropkick, sending JHalc right into Michaels. This allows Flare, who landed nicely on his hands and knees, to leap forward with a burst of energy and tag Lawson into the match, to the delight of the fans. They go crazy as he nearly explodes into the ring, quickly taking JHalc down with a huge right hand. Michaels gets one too, and is floored as well. However, Michaels pops right back to his feet, though it's only for a second, as Lawson quickly hooks him up and throws him into a quick Hip Toss. As the champ slides across the ring, JHalc slowly gets back up to his feet, only to be floored once again, this time by a Lariat. Lawson is just cleaning house right here, and he waves JHalc up to continue his combination. The Jack of Hearts unknowingly obliges, and Lawson nails him right in the side of the head with an Enzuigiri. JHalc just goes limp on the mat, having taken an unusual amount of punishment in this match, compared to the other three. After crawling back to the corner, Lawson pulls himself back up and sits there in a crouch, Edge-like, Just waiting for the opening.

Slowly, strugglingly, JHalc pushes himself up to his hands and knees. A "Lawson! Lawson!" chant is running rampant in the crowd. Everyone knows the Spear is coming. JHalc gets to his feet. So does Michaels, coincidentally. Lawson charges forward. Here it comes...NO! Lawson eats a Superkick out of nowhere. Michaels had leaped forward and nailed him with his newly christened Shattered Teeth Symphony. Lawson just stands straight up, out on his feet. He stays there for what seems like forever before losing his balance and stumbling back, falling into a seated position in the corner. Flare, who is still holding the back of his head but had just gotten up, desperately holds his hand out for the tag that just won't come at this point. Michaels and JHalc slowly stumble forward, almost collectively toward Lawson. It's time for some payback. They begin to both stomp a mudhole into him, in the chest, in the stomach, in the legs. Michaels even adds a few Face-Washes in there. The crowd starts to boo the normally well-liked D-Volution. Flare's had enough. He gets to the middle of the ropes and pulls back. After springing to the top rope, he leaps off, flying forward and nailing JHalc unaware with a Flying Clothesline. Using his momentum to get back to his feet, Evan is able to see Michaels charging at him, looking to take out the only other threat. Flare gets the best of him though, getting under him and backdropping him up and over onto the apron.

Michaels lands on the apron and quickly goes to re-take advantage by driving his shoulder into Flare, but Evan sees this coming and dodges out of the way just in time. Michaels, now left in an awkward position with little balance, has no defense for the huge knee that Flare nails him with immediately after. As the champion crumples to the mat, barely conscious after that, Flare sees JHalc on his hands and knees, and quickly goes over to his former partner. He gets him in the gutwrench, lifts him up...BANG, Blood Reign right to the back of the head. The Jack of Hearts is out of it, just landing in a heap on the canvas. Leaving JHalc for Lawson to pick the scraps up, Flare turns his attention back to Michaels. Seeing him lying motionless on the mat gives him an idea, and he heads over to the corner to start to climb the turnbuckles. Seeing him do this, however, Nova scrambles over to her longtime client, and as Flare ascends the ropes, pulls Michaels out of the ring by the legs. However, this doesn't stop Flare, and he quickly drops down and centers himself in the ropes. He pulls back on the top rope and springs over. Nova barely has time to move out of the way as Evan takes Michaels out with a Plancha.

Meanwhile, Lawson is slowly pulling himself back up to his feet. Seeing JHalc nearly unconscious, he knows that now is his only opportunity. With what energy he has left, still loopy after the stomping he received, the Instant Classic picks JHalc up, locking him in another Front Facelock (I really like those, don't I?). As the crowd goes absolutely bonkers for the finish, Lawson lifts the arm up, picks JHalc up vertical, and quickly drops him with a Toxic Spike. Nobody is left to break up this pin, and Lawson slowly rolls JHalc over for the Lateral Press.
Here's the cover.
