A small fire appears on the bottom of the screen, gradually creeping upwards. As the flames reach higher, two silhouettes become visible: one male, and one female. They stand side-by-side in confident postures. An explosion rings out and the video wall goes black. Then, three words appear on the screen.
Ignite the Fire...
* * *
the arena lights quickly die as a low flame creeps up the video wall, similar to that of the last Redline. The same two silhouettes appear, in the same confident postures. The male extends his arm to the side, and as the flames blast upward, a flash of red can be seen on the male, and a glimmer of pink on the female.
As the flame display grows more violent, the two silhouettes fade out and a number of others appear momentarily, each fading out as another appears. As the flames die down, a voice speaks up over the sound system.
They represent a new era.
A new breed.
A total diregard for the safety of others.
And of themselves.
Younger. Faster. Stronger. Wild. Out of control. Some could even be called "hardcore".
The New Breed is coming.
Ignite the Fire...
The lights come back on, showing Lino continuing to stare at the now quiet video wall. He eventually looks down where he sees, drawn on the mat before him:
IGNITION START[/size][/color]...
* * *
"Alright, I've had enough of this! Right here, right now! I want to know what 'Ignite the Fire' is!" Lino shouts as the lights die down. After a few moments of silence, the video wall comes to life, the familiar fire display creeping upward, illuminating the ring to show a face-up, unconscious, Lino, the MWL World Heavyweight Championship across the ring. The fire on the video wall dies down as writing appears.

As the video package comes to a close, the timer appears, now showing 00:00:00:15. The last few remaining seconds tick away.

IGNITION START!
The video concludes and the video wall comes to life in the midst of an energetic fireworks display in the arena, showing Danny Tieso backstage. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Danny Tieso coming to you LIVE from the Ignition Arena for the first-ever edition of MWL Ignition!" Danny pauses as the crowd roars its approval. "Now, not only will we be debuting MWL's newest acquisitions, but we'll be crowning a number of champions. Tonight, the first-ever MWL World Hardcore Champion will be crowned, and additionally, MWL's World Television Championship is back! Tonight, we will also begin the process of crowning the first-ever MWL World Women's Champion, by having two qualifier matches. Two more will be held next week, and the four winners will face off the following week for the title. Now, without further ado, let's go to the arena for our first match ever, here on MWL Ignition!"

Match 2: Women's Title Qualifier - Phoenix Angel v. Kim Bailleaux (Click for video)
- Kim Bailleaux pinned Phoenix Angel with a roll-up at 14:13.
The camera fades in to show the cafeteria, where at a table, there are numerous coffee cups, all empty and some tipped over. A man with black hair in his face approaches the table and drops a carrier filled with further more coffee cups onto the table before he begins chugging the cups and pitching them over his shoulder. A rather large man approaches, a bottle of water in his hand.
"So, I suppose you're Matt Froscheiser, huh?" The man asks. The man with the coffee stops mid-chug and stares at the new man around the cup.
"I suppose I am, yes." Matt replies. "And you are?"
"The name's Erik Range." The second man states.
"So, you're one of the ones I'm facing, tonight?" Matt asks. Erik nods.
"Yes, a nice, rousing, friendly competition."
"For a title."
"Right. Anyway, Matt, I was thinking, perhaps you and I could join forces..."
"I'm not throwing the match."
"Of course not. I wouldn't expect you to. I have something else altogether in mind..." Erik states, as the ring announcer's voice can be faintly heard through the halls. "Come on, the match is about to start. I'll explain on the way."
Match 3: MWL World Hardcore Championship - TLC: CK One v. Suicide v. Erik Range v. Matthew Froscheiser (Click for video)
- Suicide pinned Erik Range with a roll-up at 5:38 to win the vacant MWL World Hardcore Championship.
Match 4: Women's Title Qualifier - Kitten Miller v. Sarah Alyssa (Click for video)
- Sarah Alyssa forced Kitten Miller to submit with a camel clutch at 8:31.
The camera shows the inside of a small locker room, Matt Froscheiser and Erik Range standing outside the door, smoke wafting out from the bottom. "You think he's on fire, or somethin'?" Matt asks, as Erik shakes his head and pushes the door open. A wall of smoke wafts out and covers the duo as they wave their hands and cough, trying to usher it away. Amid the smoke sits Suicide, the MWL World Hardcore Championship draped across his lap.
"Eh? Who're you guys, again?" Suicide asks, his eyes half-closed (and one moreso than the other).
"Erik Range."
"Matt Froscheiser."
"Oh, yeah, you guys! ... I think I kicked your ass..." Suicide states, pointing toward Matt. Matt looks around, then points to himself, unsure of who, exactly, he meant.
"Actually, it was ME." Erik coughs. "Congratulations, by the way. Anyway, might you be interested in joining us?"
"Sure. I'm bored and got nothing better to do." Suicide shrugs. Erik and Matt look to each other and shrug as well.
