The GCW Vindication Theme blasts out across the arena as we cut across the crowd in a slow panning shot, revealing an official attendance of 11,865 in attendance at the Adelaide Entertainment Center. We cut to see a now fully healed Terry Kohl counting a stack of money in his hand, and Beast Jackson looking at him confused.
Beast: The lawsuit go well?
Kohl: Kidd was nice enough to settle out of court. ANYWAY! I'm Terry Kohl, joining me tonight is Beast Jackson and welcome to GCW Friday Night Vindication LIVE from Adelaide, Australia. We've got two great matches for you tonight as John Styles and Aaron Black clash for the first time in months
Beast: And International Title Action as Donald Hammerpunch takes on Lucas Hawthorne in the battle to determine the new GCW International Champion
Kidd West hobbles out on his crutches as 'Wolves of Winter' plays behind him. He struggles into the ring where a podium sits with an object covered by a red sheet sits.
West: Hello Australia! Have I got news for you! A new era in GCW is dawning, and with new era's come new changes. Some may not be seen for the next few weeks. But. I do have one to present for you
West hobbles over towards the podium and grips the sheet, ripping it off, a spotlight descends to reveal the new GCW World Championship design
West: This new Championship design will be carried by Mr. Styles on all occasions. GCW is a global brand and we wished to change our title to reflect that, the time of big gold is over. The time of World Wide control is now!
West collects the title and makes his way backstage slowly.
Richard Dweck vs. The Trashman
"In a short match, Richard Dweck was victorious over the Trashman. Succeeding in excelling him in ring and securing a pinfall victory over him" - Adam Hague, GCW Magazine
Aaron Black vs. John Styles
Aaron Black vs. John Styles
Aaron Black and John Styles put on a real treat for those in attendance. This match could have easily been on a PPV event which we might see in the future at some point. It was fairly back and forth throughout until John Styles got the advantage and went for the Stomp Styles, looking to put Aaron away for good. Aaron rolled out of the move, however, which caused Styles to tweak his ankle on the landing and Aaron took full advantage by locking in the Blacklist. Things looked to be over here, however, the World Champion refused to give up. Aaron Black held John Styles in the submission for what felt like forever before John finally passed out. The ref had no choice but to call for the bell and declare Aaron Black the winner, but it's clear the returning star was shocked at the champion's refusal to submit. Aaron rolled out of the ring after the match and grabbed the world championship from ringside, personally handing it back to the champion as a sign of respect. Something tells us that this one isn't over.
Winner: Aaron Black
Vignette
A loud shriek is echoed across the arena, with a quick flashing images one after another. It begins with an ancient Egyptian pharaoh with the masses praying at his feet. The second is a hangman reading a man with a noose around his neck his last rites. Finally, we see the image of a small boy with a large man holding a belt brooding over him.
Words appear over the screen that say, “Coming soon.”

GCW International Title Match
Donald Hammerpunch vs. Lucas Hawthorne
The lights shut off, leaving both ring and fans in pure darkness. The titantron lights up, the words "Death Metal approaches" appearing on the screen for a few moments before the arena is plunged back into darkness. Then the titantron flashes again, a countdown appearing. Every number, from ten to one makes a little "beep" noise when it appears. Then the arena is plunged back into darkness. A spotlight appears on the stage for a few seconds before vanishing. A few seconds later it appears again before disappearing. The interval between this speeds up until it all stops, then the titantron flashes again. The words "We warned you" appear before a video of Lucas nailing an opponent with The Death Metal appears on the screen. A voice begins to speak throughout the arena, quiet and cold. It says "We warned you what would happen if you ever met The Master of Death Metal" before everything goes dark and silent once again. A heartbeat begins, then nothing. Then the song (Volcanos by BloodSpot) begins to play and the single spotlight appears once again. Smoke begins to roll over the stage as Lucas Hawthorne appears, sat in a chair resembling the Iron Throne from Game of Thrones. He stands up, scanning the arena as he removes the black leather vest from his body. He offers a cocky grin as the song stops. The voice appears again throughout the arena, saying "Darkness rolls across the land! Fear the Master, the cards in his hand!". The lights remain off as Lucas walks down towards the ring, only turning back on once he reaches the bottom of the ramp. Lucas silently climbs into the ring as the song continues from where it was paused. He locks eyes with his opponent, taking a seat in the middle of the ring.
A few seconds after his theme song (War Machine by Kiss) hits, Donald Hammerpunch appears from behind the curtains, wielding nun-chucks. He then begins to put on a Karate demonstration for the fans who loudly cheer for him and clap with applause an adoration, Hammerpunch bows towards them. He then walks down the ramp towards the ring as fans clap in applause towards him.
Fink: This match is set for one fall and is for the Vacant GCW International Championship. To my left... from Kansas City, Nebraska... he is the "Worlds Most Dangerous Man"... DONALD. HAMMERPUNCH!!!
The crowd erupt in some soft applause
Fink: And to my right... from Adelaide, Australia... he is "The Master Of Death Metal"... LUCAS. HAWTHORNE!!!
The Australian crowd erupts into loud cheers and applause for the Aussie born Lucas Hawthorne. There are chants erupting from the crowd as we cut back to Kohl and Beast.
Kohl: This capacity crowd are absolutely vocal in their support of their fellow national compatriot Lucas Hawthorne...
Beast: Make America great again Donald!!!
Kohl: Did you really need to...
Beast: Need to what? I am showing my support for Hammerpunch
Beast quickly hides his 'Make America Great Again' hat in his bag.
The bell rings.
Hammerpunch and Hawthorne initiate the match by circling each other, both men looking for a weakness in the others defense whilst simultaneously sizing each other up. Hammerpunch initiates combat by striking with an open palm against the ribs of Lucas Hawthorne. Quick to get out of there, Hawthorne stumbles backwards into the ropes. Rebounding off them and hitting Hammerpunch with a stiff Knee Strike to the Gut! Repeating these strikes several times as Hammerpunch slowly goes down to the floor. As Hammerpunch slowly tries to get to his feet, Hawthorne rushes forward and kicks him hard in the gut sending him back to the floor. Hawthorne turns to face the crowd and leans on the top rope to rest slightly.
Kohl: Hawthorne has been effective in dispatching Hammerpunch so far
Beast: Causing damage this early on means Hammerpunch has a lot of ground to gain later on when energy is low, its a statistical disadvantage
As Hawthorne rests on the ropes, Hammerpunch slowly gets up behind him. Hawthorne turns to face his opponent and is struck with a Knife Edge Chop! sending him bouncing back into the ropes and back to Hammerpunch who hits him with a Second, a Third and then finishes up with a fourth chop. Hawthorne leans against the ropes dazed and in pain. As he pushes himself off them he is grabbed by Hammerpunch and hit with a Snap Suplex! which leaves him sprawled out across the mat on his back.
Hawthorne quickly springs to his feet. And glares at Hammerpunch. The two begin to circle each other again and lock up. Hawthorne and Hammerpunch trade elbow blows to each others heads, each one harder than the last. Hawthorne ducks under one blow and as Hammerpunch turns to face him, Hawthorne hits a hard Pele Kick! stunning Hammerpunch into a daze. Hawthorne quickly grabs him from behind... BLACK METAL!!! Hammerpunch is set sprawling onto the floor. Hawthorne takes a second to lean back and recover as Hammerpunch slowly and shakily gets up, as he reaches his feet Hawthorne rushes forward... DEATH METAL!!! Hammerpunch drops to the floor as Hawthorne goes for the pin
1..2..3!!!
Volcanos by BloodSpot erupts across the arena as Hawthorne gets to his feet, the Ref slides in, handing him the International Championship. Hawthorne lifts it high into the air as the ref raises his arm.
Fink: The winner of this match... and the NEW GCW International Champion!... LUCAS. HAWTHOOOOOOORNE!!!
Hawthorne climbs up onto the top rope and holds the belt up high with both hands, before jumping off as the camera fades to black.
