(1) Mighty Mikey defeated Sheamus.

Sheamus went right on the attack driving Mikey to a corner and laying in some boots followed by a clothesline for two. Sheamus raked Mikey’s eyes across the top rope then used it to choke him but Mikey fired back with chest chops only to have his eyes raked. Sheamus took Mikey down into a back stretch but Mikey fought to his feet only to be hit in the lower back with several forearms. Mikey was hit with a back suplex for two so Sheamus went to a neck vise submission. Mikey fought out and went for a sunset flip but Sheamus fought out and hit a suplex for two. Frustration began to show as Sheamus hit Mikey with punches and chops followed by a corner whip for two. Sheamus went back to the stretch submission and Mikey fought out but his back gave when he went to slam Sheamus. So Sheamus slammed him and missed a second rope leg. Mikey went up and didn’t miss a plancha to get the pinfall win.

(2) "South City Thriller" Hade Vansen & Big Rob defeated "The Stampede Kid" TJ Wilson & Gabe Tuft.

Vansen and Tuft began the match with some chain wrestling but when Vansen pulled Tuft’s hair to keep control of a side headlock, all friendliness went out the door. Tuft and Vansen traded front facelocks but when Wilson tagged in Vansen ran to tag in Big Rob who shoved Wilson to a neutral corner on a lockup. Rob also powered out of a side headlock and Wilson ended up on the mat after a shoulder tackle. Wilson needed to think fast of a way to get control and he tried with a front facelock but Rob deposited him on the top rope. Wilson got down and dropkicked Rob on his kneecap. Tuft tagged in and went right to work on the knee with a step over toehold. Rob was able to escape and as the referee was busy getting Wilson out of the ring, Tuft was kicked to the ropes where Vansen kicked him in the back. Vansen and Rob made several tags wearing down Tuft but couldn’t get the pin or submission. Tuft got an opening when he pushed Vansen off with his legs and tagged in Wilson who leveled Vansen with a Northern Light Suplex but Rob save his partner and Wilson was pinned after a press slam.

(3) In a Diva’s Bra & Panties match, Victoria Crawford defeated Nattie Neidhart.

This was self explanatory; someone was going to be stripped to their well you know. Early in the bout Crawford lost her top and wasn’t happy so she kicked Neidhart in the head. Crawford used Neidhart’s hair to choke her against the ropes as she took off Neidhart’s top. Crawford went for a suplex but Neidhart slid off and was close to pulling down pants when Crawford kicked her. Neidhart got the pants once more but Crawford backed her to a corner and after a kick to the throat went for a corner charge but missed. Neidhart went for a backward roll but Crawford held onto Neidhart’s waist and came to her feet with pants in hand. Neidhart quickly got to her feet and beat Crawford down to the mat but the bell and clothes had already come off to end the match.

(4) In a # 1 contenders match, "The Thoroughbreds" Johnny Curtis & Kevin Kiley defeated "The Natural" Nic Nemeth & "The Campus Legend" Brad Allen.

Before the match Nemeth complained to FCW President Steve Keirn how they should be the champions not fighting to get a shot at the Puerto Rican Nightmares. Nemeth and Allen then made jaws drop when they introduced their new lady friend, Playboy cover girl Taryn Terrell. Kiley & Curtis seemed more focused on the match than the new addition to the fraternity and they beat down Nemeth with several power moves. Nemeth tried to slow down the momentum by jawing with the fans and it briefly worked until he was hit with a drop toehold. Allen tagged in but was hit with a backdrop and locked in an armbar. The Thoroughbreds were in total control until Terrell grabbed hold of Kiley’s ankle. That allowed Allen to hit Kiley from behind and drive him to the floor where Nemeth punched him. Nemeth and Allen made several tags wearing down Kiley’s ribs and back. But nothing they did made Kiley submit nor could they keep him pinned. But Nemeth made a tactical error and allowed Kiley to get too close to his corner and Curtis came in to take over on both his opponents. Allen got his beer helmet from Terrell and was ready to hit Curtis but Nemeth’s shoulder tackle missed Curtis and sent Allen to the floor. This allowed Curtis to roll up Nemeth for the pinfall.

It was time for the one and only HANDSOME HEATH’S HAPPY HOUR. FCW Southern Heavyweight champion "Handsome" Heath Miller’s guest was his current tag team partner "Sterling" Steve Lewington.

Both of them were ticked off about the end result of the FCW Florida Tag Team championship match and went back to their loss to WWE Tag Team champions John Morrison and the Miz at the Florida State Fair event. In both instances he blamed the loss on the Puerto Rican Nightmares. They said they had a new advisor to get them to the championships, British wrestling legend and WWE Superstar Dave Taylor.

(5) "Handsome" Heath Miller & "Sterling" Steve Lewington (w/ WWE Superstar Dave Taylor) defeated FCW Tag Team champions "The Puerto Rican Nightmares" (Eric Perez & Eddie Colon w/ Miss Angela) via DQ.

The Nightmares didn’t seem to care that Taylor was on the opposite side of the ring and began the match with Colon trading chops with Lewington. Colon fought off Lewington hitting a huricurana and a forward roll into a pin for two. Lewington hit a corner whip but his forearm missed the mark. But Miller was able to tag in only to be locked in an armbar. Perez made his way in and tried to remove Miller’s arm for his torso. He nearly succeeded but Miller hit a snapmare and a kick to the neck of Perez before tagging Lewington back in. Perez and Colon went back to work on Lewington’s upper body but that stopped when Taylor and Angela had words on the floor. Perez and the referee were distracted and missed the double team Hot Shot that left Colon on the mat holding his neck. Colon survived several minutes of double and triple team moves and after avoiding Lewington’s dropkick, he tagged in the well rested Perez. Just when it looked like curtains for Miller he was able to get Perez’s bat from Angela. He was ready to use it on Perez when Colon came from behind and took it. The referee was arguing with Taylor and turned around just in time to see Colon use the bat on Miller’s ribs and he called for the bell and the DQ. Taylor argued about the ending but the championships left with Colon & Perez.

(6) FCW Florida Heavyweight champion Jake Hager defeated Rycklon.

It looked like Hager was surprised to be in the ring with someone who could match his strength and he tried to avoid going in that direction with Rycklon. So Hager went to his amateur background with a waistlock but Rycklon countered out and punched Hager in the mouth. Hager went for a single leg takedown but Rycklon kept his base and chased Hager to the floor. The action came back in and then out again as Hager threw Rycklon into the ringpost head first. The action finally came back to the ring where Hager hit Rycklon with punches and kicks to the skull followed by forearm shots. The head shots continued with kicks and punches even as Rycklon tried to fight back. Hager hit a running kneelift but taunted the fans instead of going for the pin. After he was done gloating Hager took Rycklon to the mat with a body stretch and some help from the ropes. The referee caught Hager in the act and demanded a clean break, so Hager gave him one and a bit of a temper tantrum since he couldn’t put Rycklon away with a spinning neckbreaker. Both men fought for control of a suplex but Hager countered into a Russian legsweep for two. Hager hit a belly to belly suplex and went for the gutwrench suplex but Rycklon blocked it and hit a spear that got two. Rycklon laid in the forearm shots to Hager’s jaw and he hit a press slam followed by an elbow for two. Rycklon went for a move but Hager got close to the ropes and with the referee’s view blocked he hit Rycklon in the crotch. Hager went to use the championship belt and then the ring bell to hit Rycklon but the referee stopped him each time. When the referee went to return the ring bell, Hager hit another low blow and pinned Rycklon to retain the championship.

(7) In a Non Sanctioned Revenge Match, Afa Jr. and Ted DiBiase Jr. fought to a no contest.

If you missed last week’s event you missed Afa brutally attack DiBiase Jr. at the conclusion of their tag team tournament match and then Saturday night he laid out Billy Kidman. Needless to say this was not a friendly training match. Afa called DiBiase out on the mic but he didn’t have to wait as DiBiase slid in from the floor and attacked Afa. DiBiase’ ribs were heavily wrapped with tape and an ace bandage but it didn’t slow him down. Afa and DiBiase traded hard hitting blows but when Afa shoved referee Billy Dalton to the mat he called for the bell. So Afa hit him with a superkick. Afa tossed DiBiase to the floor where he hit him with a plancha. The two men brawled all over the night club using anything they could get their hands on as weapons. FCW referees and officials tried to get control of the situation but they had little success. It took the threat of fines and suspensions to get Afa to leave ringside. DiBiase Jr. got in the ring with the ring challenged Afa to any kind of match he could think of. But Afa had no response to DiBiase’s challenge.
