Back at ringside, it’s time for our first title match of the night as Jay and Mark Briscoe and The Suicides make their entrances for this tag team title match.

Match #2 – HWL Tag Team Championship – The Suicides vs. The Briscoes

Mark and one of the Suicides start things off and Mark connects with some stinging jabs and then goes for some Redneck Kung Fu with a Crane Kick, but Suicide ducks under it and rolls Mark up for a near fall.  Suicide then connects with an Enziguri and sets up for a Brainbuster, but Mark blocks it and drives Suicide back against the corner and delivers a flurry of punches to the mid-section. Mark then makes the tag to Jay and the Briscoes connect with a Double Suplex. Jay then puts the boots to Suicide and then bounces off the ropes and goes for a Running Knee Lift, but Suicide sidesteps and connects with a Leaping Neckbreaker.  Suicide then makes the tag to Suicide and the fresh Suicide springboards in and connects with a Guillotine Leg Drop. Suicide then pounds on Jay and tries to hook in a Figure Four Leglock, but Jay kicks him backward into the corner.  Jay then charges in and connects with an Avalanche Splash and follows up with a Sidewalk Slam.  Jay then tags in Mark and Mark comes in and connects with a Running Dropkick to the side of the head.  Mark then sets up for a Package Piledriver, but Suicide fights free and connects with a Back Body Drop.  Suicide then makes a tag and the Suicides connect with a Backbreaker combination into a Rolling Cutter. The legal Suicide then hits Jay in the knee with a Dropkick, knocking him off the ring apron. Suicide then covers Mark, but Mark kicks out for a near fall. Suicide puts the boots to Mark and then heads up to the top turnbuckle, but Mark gets back to his feet and charges to the corner. However, Suicide jumps over him and lands on his feet on the mat, but then turns and runs in to a Superkick from Mark. Mark then calls for the Froggy ‘Bow and heads up to the top turnbuckle, but the other Suicide comes over and shoves him off the top and Mark crashes down onto the ring apron and out to the floor.  Jay then pulls the non-legal Suicide off the ring apron and slams him head first into the barricade multiple times and connects with the Jay Driller on the floor. The legal Suicide then catapults himself out over the top rope and takes Jay down out on the floor with a Flying Crossbody. Suicide then turns around in time to catch a Crane Kick form Mark.  Mark then throws Suicide back into the ring and rolls in after him. Mark kicks Suicide in the gut as both men get back to their feet and then follows up with a Package Piledriver and makes the cover, but Suicide kicks out for a near fall. Mark then puts the boots to Suicide and then follows up with a Brainbuster and makes the tag to Jay, who is now back up on the ring apron. Jay then comes in and hoists Suicide up as Mark goes up top for the Doomsday Device, but Suicide slips out of Jay’s grip and down the back into a pinning combination, but Jay kicks out. Mark then nails Suicide with a Missile Dropkick, but then the other Suicide pulls Mark out by the boot and connects with an Impaler DDT on the floor. Suicide then rolls into the ring and the two Suicides set up for a combination move on Jay, but Jay powers out and knocks one down with a Short-arm Clothesline and we can’t tell which Suicide is legal any more.  Jay kicks the one left standing in the gut and then propels him headlong into the other one and one of the Suicides crashes through the ropes and out to the floor as the one left in the ring stumbles back into a Jay Driller and Mark comes back in off the top rope and connects with a Froggy ‘Bow and Jay covers Suicide and scores the three count.

The Briscoes are your winners and the NEW Tag Team Champions, unseating the two Suicides for the titles. Jay then says he wants to get their masks and Jay and Mark go back to the Suicide they pinned for the titles, but as they reach down toward his head, the lights go out and when they come back on, the Briscoes are all alone in the ring and the Suicides have escaped. In the back, our broadcast colleague is standing by with Nikki Cross, who will only repeat three words, “Want title back.” Cross gets a shot at the woman who took the title away from her, Bayley, later on tonight.

Back at the ring, another Road to Starrcade Tournament match is coming up as Kevin Owens and Adam Cole make their entrances.

Match #4 – Road to Starrcade Heavyweight Quarterfinal – Adam Cole vs. Kevin Owens

The two men square off as the match gets under way and Cole charges right at Owens, but Owens catches him coming and throws him up for a Pop-up Powerbomb, but Cole counters into a Hurricanranna. Cole then follows up with a Superkick with Owens down on one knee and then dives into the cover, but Owens kicks out for a near fall. Cole then goes for the cover again, but Owens quickly kicks out again. Cole then drags Owens back up and springboards off the ropes and goes for a Flying Roundhouse Kick, but Owens ducks out of the way and Cole lands on his feet. Owens nails Cole with a Thrust Kick to the gut and then bounces off the ropes and runs into another Superkick from Cole. Cole bounces off the ropes and hits Owens with a Diving Shoulder Block to the knee, taking his leg out from under Owens and flipping him through the air. Owens then struggles to try to get back up, but can’t manage to get both feet under him and drops back down to one knee as Cole delivers the Last Shot and covers him for the three count.

Cole is the third piece of the puzzle as we again look at the brackets for the heavyweight Road to Starrcade Tournament. In the back we see a split screen of Women’s Champion Bayley and Nikki Cross going through their final preparations. Their match is coming up next and a video package replays the highlights of Nikki Cross’s run as Women’s champion and the night she lost the title to Bayley at Fall Brawl.

Back at the ring, Hangman Page and Tommaso Ciampa make their entrances for this next contest, our final Road to Starrcade Tournament match of the night.

Match #6 – Road to Starrcade Heavyweight Quarterfinal – Hangman Page vs. Tommaso Ciampa

The two men tie-up as the match gets under way and Page drops down into an Armdrag, flipping Ciampa over him. Page then plants his knee in Ciampa’s back and applies a Reverse Chinlock with Ciampa in a seated position. Ciampa slowly battles back up to his feet and connects with a series of Elbow Strikes to the mid-section. Ciampa then shoves Page off into the ropes and knocks him flat with a Shoulder Block.  Ciampa then follows up with a Running Dropkick to the side of the head and then slowly drags Page back up and sets up for a Cactus Piledriver, but Page counters into a Back Body Drop. Page then drives Ciampa back against the corner with a flurry of Knife-edge Chops and then Monkey Flips him across the ring. Ciampa stumbles back up to his feet and Page hits him with a Discus Clothesline. Page then rolls out under the bottom rope to the ring apron and lets Ciampa slowly pull himself back up to his feet and Page flips in over the top rope and goes for the Buckshot Lariat, but Ciampa ducks and connects with a Reverse DDT into a Backbreaker and then a Rolling Cutter. Ciampa then calls for the finish and sets up for the Fairy-Tale Ending, but Page fights out of it and shoves Ciampa back against the ropes and goes for a Superkick, but Ciampa ducks out of the way and Page’s momentum carries one leg out over the top rope where he gets hung up. Ciampa then holds Page in place and takes the Cowboy for an uncomfortable horsey ride as he bounces him up and down on the top rope. Ciampa then flings Page back into the ring and then follows up with a Running Knee Lift and a Double-arm DDT. Ciampa then makes the cover, but Page kicks out for a near fall. Ciampa scratches at Page’s face as he yells at him to stay down and then he slowly drags Page back up, but Page shoves him away and nails him with a Superkick. Page then sets up for the Deadshot, but Ciampa tackles him backward into the corner and then Headbutts Page square on the chin. Ciampa then connects with the Fairy-Tale Ending and covers him for the three count.

The stage for the semifinals is complete with Ciampa advancing along with Elias, Austin Aries and Adam Cole to the final four of the heavyweight Road to Starrcade tournament. But the night isn’t over for Aries though. In the back, we see a split screen of Aries and O’Reilly making their final preparations for our next title match. A video package then highlights Aries’ run through the cruiserweight division.

Back at the ring, Bully Ray and Suicide make their entrances for our Main Event and our ring announcer goes through special in-ring introductions.

Match #8 – HWL World Heavyweight Championship – Bully Ray vs. Suicide

The two men square off as the match gets under way and Bully connects with a flurry of jabs and then knocks Suicide flat with a Bionic Elbow and Suicide rolls out to the floor and rolls under the ring. Bully Ray looks confused and goes out after him and Suicide rolls out the other side of the ring and nails Bully with a Chop Block to the back of the knee and then follows up with a Swinging Neckbreaker. Bully slowly pulls himself back up and Suicide kicks him in the gut and slams him head first into the ring apron and rolls him back into the ring.  Suicide then heads up to the top rope as Bully stumbles back up to his feet and Suicide connects with a Guillotine Leg Drop across the back of the head, driving him back down to the mat. Suicide then follows up with an Asai Moonsault and makes the cover, but Bully kicks out for a near fall. Suicide stays on the offensive with some Double Ax-handle Shots and Knee Strikes to the ribs. Suicide then tries to pull Bully back up, but Bully punches him in the gut and then knocks him flat with a Mafia Kick.  Bully then makes the cover, but Suicide kicks out.  Bully then puts the boots to Suicide and then bounces off the ropes and goes for a Leaping Elbow Drop, but Suicide rolls out of the way and Bully crashes to the mat. Suicide then tries to turn Bully over into a Boston Crab, but Bully kicks him back into the corner. Bully then charges in and hits an Avalanche Splash in the corner and follows up with a Bully Bomb, but Suicide is able to roll under the bottom rope and out to the floor where he goes under the ring again. Bully rolls out after him and is able to catch Suicide by the boot before he can disappear completely under the ring. Bully then pulls Suicide back out and Suicide pops him in the jaw with an Upper Cut and then crawls back under the ring. Bully lifts up the apron looking for him and then he goes under the ring too and we have no idea what is going on. Bully Ray then emerges from under the ring and he seems to have had something sprayed in his eyes as he crawls around temporarily blinded out on the floor. Suicide then crawls out after him as Bully gets to his feet and Suicide shoves him headlong into the ring post and then rolls him back into the ring. Suicide then goes up to the top rope and follows up with a Diving Elbow Drop, Macho Man style and makes the cover, but Bully kicks out for an exceptionally close near fall. Suicide drags Bully back up and Bully swings wildly, but can’t connect as his vision is still blurry. Suicide then kicks him in the gut and pulls him over to the corner where he hops up to the middle turnbuckle and then hits Bully with a Tornado DDT.  Suicide then hustles back up to the top rope and then connects with a Corkscrew Senton into the cover and he gets the three count.

Damn it, a couple of HWL guys finally pried the tag team titles away from this guy and his cohort only for him to sink his claws into a new prize as Suicide is the winner and NEW World Heavyweight Champion. Suicide then exits up the rampway where the other Suicide emerges from backstage and the two celebrate together as Golden Ticket comes to a close.
