"Why, that's simple! Free Radical is the number-one contender to the MWL World Tag Team Championship, so it's just a matter of time until we challenge, and defeat, Seiryu and Kouryuu for the tag titles! Ha ha ha!" Jim laughed, as Nicholas cocked an eyebrow at his tag partner.
"Jimmy?" Nicholas began.
"Yeah?" Jim responded.
"Are you completely out of your friggin' mind?" Nicholas asked.
"It has been suggested." Jim answered, placing his Lightweight Championship on the desk, as Nicholas slammed Jim's head into the belt. "OW! Gah, damn, that hurt!" Jim yelled.
"Then quit acting like a four year old." Nicholas snapped.
"Oww..." Jim whined, as Suzaku stepped out onto the stage, holding a microphone and interrupting the segment.
"Oh, god. What do you want?" Nicholas demanded.
"I know you two morons have things to do, so I'll make this fast. First, Jimmy, Byakko isn't in the hospital. You barely hurt him." Suzaku stated.
"What?!" Jim shouted, as Byakko climbed onto the stage from among the crowd, standing behind the champion.
"He's right behind you." Suzaku growled and Jim tensed up, as Byakko hooked his arms and hit the Three-Star Suplex from off of the stage. Byakko returned to the top of the stage and walked behind the curtain as Suzaku waved to Nicholas. "Good-bye!" Nicholas walked to the end of the stage and checked on Jim.
"That really hurt!" Jim whined.

"Stevan Corber, backstage here, with the Soldier of Fortune, Chance!" Stevan announced. "Chance, in light of the occurance last week prior to your tag team match against Kairez, and his number-one contender at Domination, Yugo Ryan, Free Radical has challenged you and Magnum to a match tonight, which has been signed and cleared by Michael Jamborgh. What are your thoughts?"
"I can't say I blame 'em. After all, everyone wants to try their luck, right? Well, who better to test it against than someone like me, the luckiest man in the MWL, hmm?" Chance asked.
"Well, maybe the--" Stevan began.
"Look, it isn't important. Norris, Hunter, tonight, in the main event, me and Magnum, we're coming for you." Chance stated, walking off.
Match 1: Byakko v. Spike Norton
"STEVAN!" Jim shouted, grabbing Stevan by the collar and lifting him up. "You told me Byakko had broken ribs! That was not a man with broken ribs!"
"I'm sorry! That's what I was told!" Stevan whimpered.
"Well, you were told wrong!" Jim snapped. "Frick. I can't believe this. Nick, we've gotta find Michael. C'mon!" Jim urged, rushing off.
"You lied to us, Stevan." Nicholas growled, before walking off screen.

As Michael Jamborgh stood in the ring, microphone in hand, he grinned, watching the titantron. "Wonder how long it'll be before they realize I'm out here?" He laughed. "Now, down to business. Domination is just a week and a half away, and there will be three championships on the line. The first title match is for the MWL World Lightweight Championship, and that's the reigning and defending champion, Jim Norris, against David Hitz. The second--" Michael began, being cut off by Jim Norris' music, as he appeared on the stage, stomping down the ramp with Nicholas Hunter by his side, the Lightweight Championship around his waist.
"Hold on just one fat second there, Mike!" Jim announced over the microphone in his hand. "First of all, what is with everybody saying Byakko was in the hospital last week, yet tonight he wrestles against Spike Norton? What the hell?!"
"Well, Jimmy, my guess would be Suzaku was trying to lull you into a false sense of security, and by the looks of it, she did a pretty damn good job of it!" Michael responded, as Norris mocked him. "Now don't go--"
"Shut up!" Jim snapped. "I have two guys after my ass in the back, now. Both of them are after MY championship. Now, I want an order laid down right here, right now. And just so it's official, sit your ass down in that corner and shut up while I talk."
"I suggest you stop and think about who you're talking to, Jimmy." Michael answered.
"As of right now, if either David Hitz or Byakko so much as touch me before Domination, the Lightweight Title match is off!" Jim announced.
"Jimmy..." Michael began. "...Stop and think. You don't have the power to do that. I do."
"Maybe, but you can't force me to wrestle at Domination." Jim retorted.
"No, but I can strip you of that title, so I suggest you smarten up." Michael answered.

"Stevan Corber here, with the challenger to Kairez's MWL World Heavyweight Championship at Domination, please welcome, the former champion, Yugo Ryan." Stevan announced. "Yugo, at Domination, you have a chance to reclaim the championship you lost at Goldlust. Is there anything you'd like to say to Kairez before your rematch?"
"Kairez, last week, it was just like old times. Unfortunately though, old friend, when a championship is on the line, friendship gets cast aside. Come Domination, I won't be holding back, and I wouldn't expect you to hold back, either." Yugo stated. "May the best man win."
Match 2: Catastrophe v. Red Norton - Part 1 - Part 2
"Oh, hell! This isn't good! Not at all!" Jim announced, rushing past Stevan Corber, as Nicholas grabbed him by the arm and yanked him back on screen.
"Stevan Corber here, with the team of Free Radical. You two have a match against Magnum and Chance tonight that the two of you requested. Why?" Stevan asked, as Jim continually peeked over his shoulder.
"Well, you see, since I rightfully deserve the shot against Kairez at Domination, not Yugo Ryan, we've decided to prove that we belong at the top of the MWL. Once we take out Magnum and his lackey Chance, the only things between us and dominating this company will be Kairez, and the Ssu-Ling. And as we all know, we can already beat them, hands down." Nicholas answered.
"Uh, what's wrong with Jim?" Stevan asked.
"Oh, Jimmy thinks that Hitz and Byakko are going to jump him at any second." Nicholas answered.
"They will! I just know they will! They want my title!" Jim shouted.
"Personally, I think he's just paranoid." Nicholas muttered to Stevan.
"I AM NOT!" Jim screamed, running to the nearest corner and checking around it.
"Yeah, I think so, too." Stevan answered.
"But, anyway, we have a match to get to." Nicholas stated, walking past Jim and grabbing him by the arm, dragging him off. "C'mon, Jimmy!"

Main Event: Magnum/Chance v. Free Radical
As Free Radical stood in the ring, celebrating their victory over Magnum and Chance, Jim Norris hopped on the middle rope, pointing at the Lightweight title, mouthing out "Nothing can stop us!" And with that, David Hitz's music began on the speakers as Norris froze, and looked to the stage, seeing both Hitz and Byakko rushing down to the ring.
As the two slid into the ring, Nicholas struck them both, ending the planned assault before it even began, as Nicholas hoisted the two lightweights up and threw them to the arena floor. As Free Radical continued to stand triumphant, an all-too-familiar theme played as Catastrophe appeared on the stage, glaring at Nicholas standing in the ring.
