Jeremy Ewing: IXW fans, welcome to the Winter Wonderslam Pre-Show!  As you've all come to expect, we like to start things off even before the pay-per-view event gets rolling.  Typically, one of our talking heads will come out and prep the crowd for a match, all of you sheep in the crowd will cheer and scream, and a lackluster match will ensue.  But tonight, I've got something a little different for.  As you've hopefully already noticed, I'm in charge of the pre-show tonight, and needless to say, I'm out here for a reason!  

Ewing: So let me get the fluff out of the way!  Craig "The Croc" Wilson will get things started here tonight in a head to head match against Earthquake!  Once again, the IXW will not disappoint!  Another fantastic pre-show matchup!  However, I've got some more important news to get to!  As you all know, we put a freeze on title matches a few weeks ago. The freeze wasn't to be lifted until tonight, and all three titles will be on the line tonight once the main card of Winter Wonderslam kicks off!  However, I have not been very happy with the fluidity, or lack there of, of our title pictures recently.  And anytime something isn't working exactly how I want, I make damn sure that it gets fixed!  So, tonight, I'd like to announce that next Saturday at IXW Saturday NIght, we will have matches to appoint new number one contenders for every IXW Championship!  This doesn't guarantee that any of tonight's losers won't retain their position, but gone are the days of just handing out rematches that may or may not be earned!  It's time to shake things up a bit, and spice up the competition!  

Ewing: Now that the important stuff is out of the way... Let's get this train rolling! Craig Wilson versus Earthquake coming up next!  Enjoy the pre-show, and be sure to stay tuned for the main card set to follow immediately after!  

Rico Valenzuela: Earthquake with the submission victory over The Croc to open up the Winter Wonderslam Pre-Show!  Ladies and gentlemen, we are going to work on getting a new announce table put together in the few minutes we have before the pay-per-view event goes live!  This is Rico Valenzuela signing off for the pre-show!  Be sure to stay tuned for the beginning of IXW's Winter Wonderslam!

Rico Valenzuela: Ladies and gentlemen!  Here we are!  IXW's Winter Wonderslam is officially live!  I am Rico Valenzuela, the voice of the IXW, and I am joined at ring side by my famous co-host, "Stunning" Scotty Starks!  Scotty, welcome to the show my man!  Tonight is going to be a fantastic night!

 

Scotty: Rico, I can't wait to get this show started!  All three IXW titles on the line here tonight!  We've got Michael Diaz defending his IXW Championship belt against Adrian Emerich in a submission match in tonight's co-main event, Rico!  Diaz is absolutely on fire.  On the same night that he dropped the IXW Midwest Championship, he shocked the world and won the IXW Championship away from Emerich.  He hasn't lost in quite some time, but Emerich is looking to end the streak and restake his claim atop the IXW food chain!

 

Rico:  How about the IXW Tag Team Championship, Scotty!  The other half of tonight's co-main events!  A tornado tag team Hell in a Cell match!  The Ascension versus The Undead!  

Scotty: Justin Stotts and Justin Andrews of The Ascension burst onto the IXW scene and became the innaugural IXW Tag Team Champions, but as of late they seem to have met their match!  The Scorpion and Wrath, also known as The Undead, have been absolutely taking it to them over the course of the last month or so.  

 

Rico: You can't count out The Ascension, Scotty.  Sure, The Undead have been incredible as of late, but all things are equal inside a steel cell!  

 

Scotty:  Absolutely!  Also, let's not forget that Jace Adair is set to defend his IXW Midwest Championship against Wonderful Wesley!  Wesley went through hell last week to win a fatal four way match to earn this title shot tonight!  He escaped by the hair on his chin, but as we've all come to know, Wesley is a guy that can win any match on any given night!  As for Jace, he's really come into his own as of late, and now that he's got IXW gold, he certainly doesn't want give it up!  

Rico:  It's going to be a great night, Scotty!  Let's go ahead and get everything started!  A fresh face to the IXW, Tyler Santos makes his IXW pay-per-view debut with his upcoming match against The Mastadon!

Rico: The Mastadon plants Santos skull into the mat!  He hooks the leg!  

 

Scotty: The Mastadon ruins Tyler Santos's IXW pay-per-view debut with a fantastic performance!  What a great win for Mastadon!

 

Rico:  Just a great match all around!  A lot of back and forth action, but The Mastadon in the end is just too much for Santos!

Scotty: Up next, we've got another up and coming IXW superstar looking to make a big splash on his way up the ladder!  

 

Rico: Bo Yost set to take on Buck "The Stallion" Highland!  These two superstars are headed in opposite directions of one another at this point!

 

Scotty:  The Stallion has really fallen off lately, and Yost could certainly vault ahead of his with a victory here tonight!  Let's go ahead and throw it in to the ring!

Scotty: Well, the rankings only matter once you get to the top, Rico!  And coming up next, we've got the top of each Championship ladder ready to duke it out!    

 

Rico: That's right!  Up next, the IXW Midwest Championship is on the line!  The current champ, Jace Adair set to do battle with Wonderful Wesley!

 

Scotty:  Ace and Wesley!  It's going to be non-stop action from the start!  This may be a match of the year candidate in the making!  You don't want to miss this one, folks!

Rico: The Stallion wins the battle, but it's Bo Yost who wins the war here tonight, Scotty! 

 

Scotty: A brutal attack by Yost, and Highland is leaving here tonight on a stretcher!  I don't really know what to make of this outcome, but chances are that Buck Highland may miss some time due to injury.

 

Rico:  It's an odd end to things in the sense that Yost lost, but he's the one walking out of here in better shape.  I'm not sure how this effects the rankings!

Scotty: The IXW Championship belt is the prize possession in all of IXW, Rico!  And right now, the man that holds that title is one bad dude!  

 

Rico: That's right!  Michael Diaz is without a doubt the baddest man in IXW at this point in time!  He hasn't lost in as long as I can remember, and he's just running through his opponents.

 

Scotty:  The former IXW Champ, Adrian Emerich looks to end the streak and steal his title back from Diaz, but it's going to take one helluva performance to get the gold back at this point!

Rico: J.A. with a massive kick!  His boot driven right through the chin of Wesley!  Wesley is out!

 

Scotty: Ace with the cover!  Adair wins!  Jace retains his IXW Midwest Championship!

 

Rico:  What an incredible back and forth affair!  Wesley came to fight tonight, but Jace just had a little more juice left in the end!  We warned you that this would be a great match up, and these two men certainly did not disappoint!  

Rico: Even worse news for Emerich?  He's got to actually make Diaz submit, if he plans to leave here with the belt, Scotty!

 

Scotty: Is that even possible?  Can anyone make Diaz submit?  My god... the odds are stacked well against Emerich here tonight, Rico!

 

Rico:  Well, the wait is over!  Tonight's co-main event!  Ladies and gentlemen, this is for the IXW Championship!  Let's head to the ring!

Rico: Diaz locks it in!  Emerich just tapped out!

 

Scotty: Mike Diaz continues to roll through the competition!  This guy is unstoppable!

 

Rico:  Emerich really brought his best effort, Scotty!  He really held his own there for quite some time.  Mike Diaz just too much for him eventually.  Diaz retains the IXW Championship here at IXW's Winter Wonderslam!

Rico: Wait just a moment, Scotty... I was just informed that IXW General Manager Alan Hinders is on his way out.

 

Scotty: Did they say what he had planned?  

 

Rico:  Well, no.  But, we can't really tell him that he can't come out!  He is the boss after all!  Let's hear what the man has to say!

Scotty: Two title matches down, and just one left to go, Rico! The IXW Tag Team Championship!  Hell in a Cell! 

 

Rico: It doesn't get any more chaotic than this one, Scotty!  Four men locked inside a steel cell!  This really is hell in a cell!  The Undead defending their titles against The Ascension!

 

Scotty:  It's going to be unbelievable!  It's not often that the Tag Team Championship gets top billing over the IXW Championship, but this match tonight may be the biggest match the IXW has ever seen!  This is the real deal!

Hinders: Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us for IXW's Winter Wonderslam!  He hope that you have enjoyed the show so far, and we know that you are all looking forward to tonight's main event!  So, for that reason, I definitely will not keep you too long.  However, there was some business to attend to.  As my colleague alluded to during tonight's pre-show event, we are making some changes to the way that we determine title contention moving forward.  As Jeremy said, we are going to try to limit the amount of title shots that a superstar is "handed."  Instead, we feel that it is far more important for a number one contender to earn that ranking.  We've done better at this recently, but we still need to continue that trend.  

Hinders: So I'd like to go ahead and lay this out for everyone here tonight, and give you all a little insight into what next week's IXW Saturday Night is going to look like!  First off, the IXW Midwest Championship!  Jace Adair maintains his title, and Wonderful Wesley gave him quite a fight!  Wesley is still deserving of fighting for that title.  However, he will face Bo Yost next week to determine the number one contender for the MIdwest Championship.  The winner of that match will face Jace Adair at next month's Dash for the Cash pay-per-view!  As for Adrian Emerich, I have not yet determined his opponent, but he will fight one week from tonight, and he must win if he plans to take another crack at Michael Diaz!  The same can be said for the loser of tonight's Tag Team Championship match!  I have plenty of superstars and tag teams in line, waiting for a shot at hoisting those straps.  You aren't going to just get by anymore.  It's time to earn it, boys!  Best of luck!  Thank you all again for joining us!  Enjoy the main event!

Scotty: Just a reiteration of what we heard earlier tonight during the pre-show, Rico.  However, we did learn that Bo Yost continues to impress. 

 

Rico: Well, he did lose here earlier tonight, Scotty, but he certainly made his presence felt.  Plus, his history with Wonderful Wesley makes him a reasonable choice.

 

Scotty:  That will be a big match to look forward to next week!  Either way, we've got way bigger fish to fry here tonight, Rico!  It's time for tonight's main event of the evening!  Four men set to enter a gigantic Hell in a Cell, and only two will leave with the IXW Tag Team Championship belts!  Let's do this!

Scotty: The IXW sure knows how to keep things interesting, Rico!

 

Rico: Amen to that one brother!

 

Scotty:  What a great night of fights this has been!  Some incredible wrestling action to start of the 2015 pay-per-views in style!

 

Rico:  I have a feeling that 2015 is going to be a great year for IXW, Scotty!  Well, folks, thank you for joining us here tonight for IXW's Winter Wonderslam!  I am Rico Valenzuela signing off for "Stunning" Scotty Starks and the rest of the IXW crew!  Be sure to join us back here live one week from tonight for another edition of IXW Saturday Night!  Thanks again, and good night!

Scotty: Wrath covers Stotts!  Andrews just a split second too slow to break it up!  The Undead retain the IXW Tag Team Championship!  

 

Rico: What a match!  Just a brutal fight between these four men, yet again!

 

Scotty:  The Undead have really turned the tag team division on its ear, Rico.  The Ascension were absolutely red hot until these two joined forces!

 

Rico:  Even crazier yet, Scotty?  The Ascension could very well lose their number one contender status one week from tonight on IXW Saturday Night!
