Chapter 18: Two Matches, One Night

(A week later)

The next pay-per-view is confirmed as AEW's Full Gear, and the card has been together:

Geiz Marufuji (c) vs. Jake Hager - Singles match for the WWE United States Championship

Billie Kay (c) vs. Anna Jay - Singles match for the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship

Alexa Bliss vs. Tay Conti - Singles match

Josh Stevens (c) vs. Sammy Guevara - Singles match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship

MJF (c) (with the Pinnacle) vs. Alex Auditore (with the New Evolution) - Steel Cage match for the TNT Championship

Chris Jericho (c) vs. Blood Shepherd - No Holds Barred match for the AEW World Championship

Jericho and Shepherd's match stipulation was signed off by Tony Khan and Triple H as Le Champeon requested it to be.

According to the AEW calendar, the promotion's next pay-per-view is Double or Nothing, which is next month, however, one match has been already confirmed.

Proud n' Powerful (c) (Santana & Ortiz) vs. Josh Stevens and Samoa Joe - Tag team match for the AEW World Tag Team Championship

The match is subject to change depending on the stipulation and if there will be no unexpected injuries amongst the participants.

This week's SmackDown advertised a double feature as the Pharaoh and the New Evolution leader Alex Auditore has outsmarted MJF and his lawyer last week during the contract signing. One of his matches is a one on one against the lawyer himself.

The other match advertised was a mixed tag team match according to the conditions of the contract as MJF and Tay Conti takes on the power couple of Bliss Kingdom.

The events that followed included that the Dark Circle has brought in some gold as Dr. Britt Baker defeated Hikaru Shida for the AEW Women's Championship. The show opened with the dentist walking out to the ring with her associate, Rebel.

Adam Cole's girlfriend raised her AEW Women's title as the crowd booed her, making Britt smirk as she enjoys the reception.

Britt: thank you all for your warm reception, and as you can see the DMD Era has begun and I'm your new AEW Women's Champion!

The crowd booed even louder.

Britt: I may be the AEW Women's Champion, but don't you forget that I represent the Dark Circle, which means Chris Jericho, Evil Uno and everyone else. So I want to bring in more gold for the group. The AEW Women's title is just one piece, however there is another piece of gold I want

The dentist smirked as she continued to speak.

Britt: while Anna is hunting for the SmackDown Women's Championship, I want a shot at the Raw Women's Championship, so Tegan Nox, you better keep that title warm for me because I will come for that soon. The doctor is in and your appointment with me will be at Double or Nothing!

(Meanwhile backstage)

Tegan was watching closely and paid attention while she nodded and smirked.

Tegan: well doctor, I will set my appointment date at that event and accept your challenge

Vade lightly smirked and nodded as he admired Tegan's determination.

Vade: gonna shut the doctor up?

Tegan: that and I will send her to hell because she will meet Lady Kane

Vade smirked and nodded.

Tegan: and how do you feel of Alex being in two matches for the night?

Vade: the lawyer will be easy enough, but for the mixed tag match, that is something to see

(Few minutes later)

The first match of the night was the warm up match as Alex takes on MJF's lawyer Mark Sterling, after outsmarting him as the Pharaoh added page 17 to the contract for their steel cage match.

Alex made his entrance with all smiles while Alexa walked alongside him. Bliss Kingdom's power couple got in the ring and the Pharaoh smirked as he is ready to lay a waste on the lawyer.

MJF's theme played and out came Mark wearing a red, white and blue full on attire while MJF and Tay were in a way, motivating him.

Mark tried his best to beg and back off from the match, but the lawyer was ordered to get in the ring as MJF shouted.

MJF: if you forfeit this match, you're fired!

Sterling had only two choices, do the match or get fired. Mark defused his tension with MJF as he got on the ring apron and slowly got inside.

Alexa went to ringside to watch her man while she had an excited smile on her face.

As the bell rang, Alex launched and the lawyer tried to escape, but the Pharaoh got him in his grasp and slowly held his fist up ready for a hit. Sterling shook his head and begged the Pharaoh to go easy on him.

Alex smirked and looked back at Alexa, and the Goddess told him to do whatever he wants. The Pharaoh nodded and slowly let go of Mark. Alex fixed his attire as Sterling held out his hand for a peaceful handshake.

Alex put his hands on his hips and played with the audience, asking them what is he seeing while the lawyer pleaded and begged for the Pharaoh to accept his handshake.

Alex accepted the handshake, and it seems that Mark Sterling the lawyer got out of it, but as he tried to walk away, Alex pulled him back and took out the lawyer with a big AKO, much to the satisfaction of Alexa at ringside while MJF and Tay put their hands over their heads in frustration.

Alex stared down at MJF as he went for easy pinfall win. The Goddess got in the ring as the Pharaoh got back up and playfully wiped his shoulders and hands clean.

MJF and Tay looked at Alex and Alexa with angry looks on their faces. Then Alex picked up Mark the Lawyer and threw him out of the ring at MJF's direction. 

Alex and Alexa then taunted MJF and Tay, telling them that it's time for the mixed tag team match.

MJF and Tay got to the ring apron and the Brazilian jiu-jitsu artist got in the ring to start things off with the Goddess.

The two women locked up as the crowd is witnessing a preview for Full Gear. There was a shoving contest between the two women as Tay verbally insulted Alexa, but the Goddess fired back with a slap to the face followed by a forearm, knocking Tay down.

Tay backed up as Alexa taunted her with her signature cry taunt.

Tay got back up to go for another hit, but the Goddess blocked it and hits another forearm, followed by a dropkick.

Tay retreated and tagged in MJF while Alexa tagged in the Pharaoh. The two bitter rivals and leaders of their respective groups proceeded to trade punches.

The punches stopped as MJF connected with a knee to Alex's gut. MJF launched from the ropes, but Alex fired back with a back body drop.

(A few minutes later)

The bond of Bliss Kingdom showed as Alexa took down Tay as she thwarted her attempt to sneak attack Alex from behind.

Meanwhile, the Pharaoh hanged MJF and set up the TNT Champion for Orton's draping DDT. Alex watched his Goddess connecting with the Insult to Injury double knees. Then Alex nailed the Pinnacle's leader with the DDT.

As Alex was setting up MJF for the AKO, the Pinnacle's Wardlow and Shawn Spears came running down to cause some interference. While the referee was busy with the two women, Alex managed to avoid all of their shots and fought them off until Vade and Travis came to even the numbers as they pulled down the two Pinnacle members.

Vade and Travis fought Wardlow and Spears up the ramp and all the way to the back. Meanwhile, MJF attempted to capitalize with the cheap roll up pin, but Alex kicked out and connected with a superkick.

Alex went for an AKO, but MJF blocked and attempted to lock in the Salt of the Earth, but Alex threw MJF to escape before hitting an AKO Outta Nowhere on the TNT Champion.

Tay tried to help, but Alexa took her down with the spike DDT. The Pharaoh and Goddess went for a double pin and it was over as the referee called for the bell.

The Bliss Kingdom main couple got a step ahead on their main rivals as the count down to Full Gear begins.

The show ended with the Goddess and Pharaoh shared a kiss in the ring while MJF, Tay and Mark Sterling recovered.
