As the opening video package winds down, and the show-starting fireworks erupt, a chorus of boos ring out as the Cornerstone, Lucas Reinhardt and Jarvick Redrock walk onto the stage, Gregory Mandrake following behind them. Lucas and Jarvick slide into the ring and pose for the crowd, receiving only another chorus of boos, while Mandrake slowly climbs the ring stairs and steps between the ropes. "Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you...the Cornerstone." Mandrake hisses, while Reinhardt shouts at a fan in the crowd from his perch on the turnbuckle. He twists around and sits on the top turnbuckle while Jarvick drops to the mat and leans in his corner.
"Tonight, these two young men shall do battle with two-thirds of one of MWL's greatest tag teams of all time. Free Radical's Nicholas Hunter and Anthony Jacobs. Once the Cornerstone here topples this team, it will be the beginning of their legacy in this promotion. One which shall stand until the end of this company's days, and which shall live on thereafter, forever undying." Mandrake continues. Mandrake grins as Lucas makes a rude gesture to the same fan. "Everyone in the back, prepare yourselves, for the Cornerstone comes to dominance on this night." Mandrake hisses, dropping the microphone before the three men make their exit.
Match 1: Alex DuVry v. Spike Norton

Match 2: Cornerstone v. Free Radical (Anthony Jacobs & Nicholas Hunter)
- Lucas Reinhardt pinned Nicholas Hunter after a belly-to-back suplex at 11:33.
The image fades from Cornerstone celebrating their debut as a team, to the dimly lit room of several past weeks. "Well, I'd say that went pretty well, wouldn't you?" The voice of Catastrophe asks.
"Indeed. However, we've yet to see if our actions at Fallen Rites has accomplished anything. We may well be forced away from our objective, anyway." Kairez's voice responds.
"What makes you say that?" Catastrophe demands.
"The mind of Michael Jamborgh, while occasionally nonsensical, is not one easily broken to appease the roster. If he feels we can put on a good show, whether he supports us or otherwise, we will accomplish our goals. However..."
"However...?"
"If he views us as unworthy, it may well be some time before we make it to the title picture..." Kairez explains.
Match 3: Red Norton v. Kouryuu
- Kouryuu forced Red Norton to submit to the Dragonlock at 10:02.
"So, what are you going to cash in for?" Allan Martel asks Jim Norris, while Jim is preparing for his match in just moments.
"Huh?" Jim asks, looking up from his boots to Allan.
"You won the Rumble, Jimmy. What match are you going to compete in at Fallout?" Allan repeats.
"Oh, hey, that's right, I almost forgot. Well, if I have to defend the Heavyweight title before then and lose it, I suppose I'll do that. Otherwise, probably shoot for the tag titles with Nick." Jim states, standing and buckling the MWL World Heavyweight Championship belt around his waist. "Alright, Allan, gotta run. But mark my words, we'll get Chris back from the Brotherhood!" Jim states, stepping over the bench and hurrying off toward the arena.
