Hybrid Championship Wrestling

Match was a surprise… It was pretty short and while Bray dominated the first few seconds, Kofi caught him with the S.O.S. and pulled the tights for the quick win.




While not being a great match, this was still an entertaining one. Early on, Zayn and Younger got the best of their opposition, especially Bayley but Sid’s menacing presence and Rude’s savvy ring-awareness allowed the duo to take control of the match. Younger played the face-in-peril role for most of the match but he finally got the hot tag to Zayn.

He cleared house and brought the house down with his special and spectacular offense and had Bayley in position for the Helluva Kick but Sid tripped him down and the ref had enough, calling for the DQ to Sid’s heavy displeasure.




These two men know each other from a long time ago. Five years earlier, these two have had a couple of battles over the International Championship. This time, it was for an important opportunity. And early on, both men brought their A-game. Austin brawled his ass off but Orton fought back like the man we are used to.

Both men looked throughout the match to hit their dangerous finisher only to see their opponent counter it every time. Both men hit their trademark offense but in the end, it’s Orton who won the battle as he caught Austin by surprise with the RKO out-of-nowhere, becoming the second option for the Universal Title match at High Voltage!




After the match, we see Angle looking at Orton celebrating on his GM Room’s Plasma TV… Until Cody Rhodes, HHH and Kevin Owens arrive inside the room. Cody and Hunter are wearing their expensive suits while KO is wearing his usual t-shirt. Angle looks at them as to wonder…

Angle: May I know what brings you on Fusion, guys? Not too dejected after that grueling main event…

Owens: If I was you, I would be careful of what you will say…

Angle: And if I was you, I wouldn’t use any threat on a General Manager, especially one from the brand you are no longer a member of…

HHH: Actually, this is actually the reason we came out here, Kurt.

Rhodes: You see, we were told that Coach had traded for us a week ago and that’s all fine… But the decision wasn’t officialized by the Board and with Coach suddenly disappearing, it makes the trade completely moot…

Owens: And, because of that… It makes one of us the obvious decision for the third and final
choice for who will face Jeff Hardy at High Voltage.

Rhodes: Especially after seeing the guy I soundly beat at Ladder Wars get an opportunity...

Angle: So, you want that final spot to be handed to one of you three, right?

HHH: Exactly...

Angle: When have I started to hand up things, around here? Not before and surely not right now. You will get your opportunity and I’ll announce it before the next Fusion. As of now, I would appreciate if you leave and let me enjoy the rest of the show!

Owens look unhappy but Hunter and Cody calm it down and all three men leave as the screen fades to black.




Sid was at the side of Doink and Estrada was obviously with his client. Early on, Doink tried to use his agility to frustrate the Samoan Bulldozer but Umaga took control and used his power early on. But Sid started to intimidate Estrada at ringside and that got Umaga distracted long enough for Doink to start gain control and work on the back and legs of the bigger opponent.

Umaga would fight back, though, using his power and his trademark offense. Doink would show some resiliency, though. Umaga was in full control but Sid then tried to bring a weapon to the ring. Estrada would not allow it and Umaga even took out Sid by throwing him into the announcing table.

But as the ref was looking at the situation, he was distracted long enough for Doink to get his wooden mallet and smack it across Umaga’s head, dropping him down on his knees. He then hit the Whoopie Cushion for the three count, to the Portland fans’ boos.





Vader tried to intimidate the CDM Champion with his size, early on, but the champion would show his extreme speed and agility advantage early on, using some innovative offense to get the Mastodon reeling… But he got caught by a massive clothesline and Vader started to wear down the champion with his wide array of power moves,

But Sin Cara would fight back with his speed and aerial offense, even knocking down the Mastodon but he couldn’t apply La Mistica as Vader powered out. That didn’t stop Sin Cara from having Vader in position for his own version of the Swanton Bomb… But Heenan distracted the referee…

And that allowed Kofi to come from the back and smack Sin Cara’s head with brass knuckles. Vader then went up top and delivered the Vader Bomb for the win and the boos from the crowd.




Okada and Bryan get their own introductions in the ring, Bryan getting a huge pop and Okada receiving loud boos. Hardy and Heyman were on opposite sides at ringside. The two go to lock up, but Okada won’t lock up. The two scout each other, before Bryan starts hitting repeated shoot kicks to Okada’s side, before coming off the ropes, but Okada reverses with a hip toss and a wrist lock, then goes for the Rainmaker early on. Bryan ducks, before nailing a butterfly suplex. Okada goes for some kicks, but Bryan catches him and Dragon whips him into the corner, before following up with a bunch of corner dropkicks. After nailing two successfully in a row, Okada catches him on the last one and throws him on the apron. Bryan lands on his feet, but Okada nails a jumping roundhouse knocking Bryan off the apron. Okada follows up by coming off the ropes and, when Bryan gets to his feet, nailing a slingshot somersault senton. Okada irish whips Bryan down the side of the ring against the barricade, before pandering to the crowd. He follows up, charging at Bryan and nailing a running dropkick.

Okada grabs Bryan and goes for a back-to-belly suplex on the ring apron, but Bryan spins out and reverses, quickly getting behind him and German suplexing him onto and across the commentator’s table. Bryan starts a Yes chant, but Paul Heyman comes around his side of the ring and starts yelling at him. Hardy starts jawing a little bit with Okada’s client and Bryan doesn’t seem phased as Heyman gets closer to him, but before anything can happen, Okada comes up behind him, this time nailing the back-to-belly on the edge of the commentator’s table. Okada slides him in and covers, but Bryan kicks out. Okada grabs Bryan and locks him in the Deep In Debt, locking in the arm trap and the facelock. Bryan gets held in the submission for about a minute before he’s able to reach the bottom rope. As he does, Okada gets back to his feet quickly and stomps on Bryan, before picking him up and attempting the Heavy Rain neckbreaker, however Bryan slips out and nails a discus elbow smash then coming off the ropes with a running leg lariat. Bryan climbs to the top and goes for the diving headbutt, covering, but Okada kicks out, only just.

Bryan waits for Okada to get to his knees before nailing repeated shoot kicks into his chest, followed by a roundhouse to the head. Bryan starts the Yes chant again before charging at Okada for the running knee. Okada, however, reverses, catching Bryan and spinning him upside, nailing a kneeling reverse piledriver. Okada doesn’t finish there, picking Bryan back up and nailing a Reverse Neckbreaker, Bryan’s head getting slammed down on his knee. Okada covers again, but Bryan just manages to kick out. Okada grabs Bryan and attempts to lock in the Red Ink submission, but Bryan trips him onto the ropes, before grabbing him and nailing a Regal-Plex right in the middle of the ring. Okada somehow kicks out, much to Bryan’s surprise. Bryan goes to lock in the Yes Lock, but Okada slips his arm and makes him land on the mat, locking in the Red Ink. Okada holds in the submission hard, Bryan attempting to reach the bottom rope. Bryan, however, is able to slip out of the STF of the submission and slip around, locking in the Yes Lock. Okada writhes around in pain, trying to escape and get out of the lock, but eventually taps.




Bryan rolls off Okada, who rolls out to the outside to Heyman. Bryan slowly gets to his feet before the referee helps him up and hands him his title. Bryan holds his title up high as the referee holds up his hand, as the cameras capture Heyman helping Okada up the ramp.

Tenay: Daniel Bryan faced a very dangerous opponent, tonight, and he somehow found the way to come up with the win and keep his International Title.

Corino: Okada was mere millimeters away from becoming the champion but he will be back, I’m sure of that.

Ventura: The goat got away with this one but he’ll stop being lucky someday…

Tenay: OH LOOK OUT!

Bryan didn’t see Doink the Clown come from behind and as he was doing the Yes! chant, Doink attacked him with his trusted wooden mallet right to the back of his head, dropping Daniel down in a heap. We then see Bayley, Rude and Sid quickly follow suit but Rude went and started brawling with the Universal Champion. The champ was in firm control and then tried to help his friend but…

Okada had returned from the ramp and he attacked, from behind, the Universal Champion. Him and Rude exchanged a stare, having had some issues last week when Okada got involved in his main event match with Bryan… They sure looked like they would get it on and Heyman was trying to calm things down… When they simply all started laughing. Okada then delivered a Rainmaker to Hardy, taking him down.

Inside the ring, Bryan had fought back and was delivering kicks to everyone that was close to him… But Okada and Rude entered the ring and the numbers game was just too much for the International Champion, who fell victim to a Belly-to-Bayley, a Rude Awakening, a Whoopie Cushion before Okada picked the listless body of the champ and delivered a thunderous Rainmaker to heavy boos from the Portland’s crowd. Okada simply picked the International Title belt and laid it on the motionless body of Daniel Bryan as Doink was having fun with him. A group of referees finally stopped the onslaught… Not that they weren’t leaving anyway.

Tenay: A despicable attack from what seems to be Paul Heyman’s latest group…

Corino: This group is quite menacing, you know…

Ventura: And what a major impact for them… They just took out two of the top champions in Hybrid Championship Wrestling!!!

Tenay: Yeah, and in a very vicious style… The landscape in this company has maybe changed…

Ventura: Not maybe, It has changed, Mike.

Tenay: Well, on behalf of Jesse “The Body” Ventura and Steve Corino… I’m the Professor, Mike Tenay and we’ll see you for the next Collision. Have a good night!

The show ends with Heyman’s new group all at the ramp, staring at the chaos and the pain they just delivered as Hardy, who has slightly recovered from the attack, is looking at his friend with the medical staff.
