FCW Presents Second Coming
Intercontinental Championship Match
Open Invitational
Open Invitational
The superstars and fans alike had been anticipating this one for quite some time, and it lived up to expectations. This match consisted of Kane, Evan Bourne, The Undertaker, MVP, Shawn Michaels, Cody Rhodes, Batista, Firestarter, and of course the big two; Blade LaVigne and Alexander 'The Great' Parise. As expected, this one was really all about Parise and LaVigne as they stole the show, going after each other right from the get-go. Although they were the top two in the match, they were letting their emotions get the better of them as the other superstars clearly wanted this title as well as they almost took the two out early, but they managed to stay alive.
Although Parise and LaVigne did great, the others were up to par, too. They give it their all, but after some unexpected turn of events it came down to a final five consisting of Parise, LaVigne, Shawn Michaels, Firestarter, and Cody Rhodes, leaving Evan Bourne, Kane, The Undertaker, MVP, and Batista wondering what happened. With just the five left they all turned up the heat, clearly wanting to show their worth. Shawn Michaels and Cody Rhodes, the two who came head to head on the previous Anarchy battled it out again, but this time Shawn got the upper hand as he ended up eliminating Cody Rhodes. It came down to the final four, and as Shawn and Firestarter looked to finish off the two big guns they both suddenly countered and tossed Shawn and Firestarter to ringside, leaving it as a one on one contest between the two men.
The two tired competitors glared at each other before attacking each other full force, with the fans loving every second. The two rivals were already running on empty, and it didn't take long for the two be dead tired. Finally, after everything the two had been through Blade hoisted Parise up above his head for the Jackhammer and ran. Just before he planted him Parise slipped down behind him and kicked him in the gut before hoisting his arms and nailing the Parise Piledriver for the huge win.
Winner: via pinfall at 16:09 and NEW Intercontinental Champion Alexander 'The Great' Parise
Kazarian vs. Wizz Kidd
The fans were into this fast paced contest early as Wizz Kidd and Kaz used just about every weapon they could get their hands on to batter one another. Trash cans, street signs, Singapore canes, all were tossed around the arena as these two battled at ring side, on the ramp, even in the audience. Back in the ring these two continued to nail each other with everything except the kitchen sink… until Wizz Kidd pulled out the sink and drilled Kaz into it.
Wizz Kidd took control after Kaz bounced off the sink and pulled him into the ring where he clobbered him with a previously dented trash can. Kaz snapped off a quick suplex onto a stop sign causing a near fall. Kazarian headed to the floor from where he pulled a steel chair into the ring, when he hoisted it up to use it Wizz Kidd nailed him with the ‘Wizz Kick’ from out of nowhere dropping down on top of his rival for the three count.
Winner: Wizz Kidd via pinfall @ 9:52

THE Brian Kendrick and Alex Shelley vs. Edge and Christian Cage
Many questions were left open heading into this match, primarily the location of one half of the tag team champions Christian Cage. Things weren’t looking good for Edge right from the get go when his partner did not enter the arena with his entrance theme leaving the match to take place as a handicap match.
Kendrick and Alex Shelley stayed fresh with quick tags, teaming up for high speed double team maneuvers. The Brain Kendrick proved to be the most impressive laying out Edge a range of big moves. “The Rated R Superstar” battled back and seemed to actually have the advantage for a moment once Shelley was tagged in. However, it didn’t last as the referee was accidentally taken out allowing Defiance to team up on Edge.
Defiance looked poised to pick up the win but with the official still down Christian Cage charged the ring from the audience taking Kendrick outside where the two brawled back and forth. In the ring Edge nailed Alex Shelley with the spear! Just as the referee revived to count the pin as the fans went crazy, Edge and Christian retained their tag team championships.
Winners via pinfall @ 17:46 Edge and Christian are still World Tag Team Champions
Jimmy Gimmick vs. John Cena
These two had been engaged in quite the war of words in the time leading up to Second Coming, and now it was time to put up or shut up for both of these men. Gimmick took an early lead using his usual weasel like tactics, but Cena battled back, using his strength to his advantage.
Cena took control of this thing, but when he would look for a big move Gimmick would fight back, staving off any serious threats. Finally Cena showed signs of frustration and Gimmick took control of this match, keeping Cena grounded and trying to take out Cena’s strength advantage. Gimmick worked away on Cena’s arms, and whenever Cena would try to battle back the pain would overcome, pleasing Gimmick. Just as Gimmick looked to lock in the ‘End Game’ but Cena threw flipped him head over heels straight into the referee. Gimmick tried to wake the ref but couldn’t, so he called Parise in to help him beat down Cena. They looked to nail Cena with a double team but he managed to battle out of it and throws Gimmick off into the corner before engaging in a slug fest with Parise. Cena handles the tired Parise easy enough before taking him by the head and throwing him over the rope and onto the ground. Gimmick ran at Cena full speed, only to be lifted onto his shoulders in position for the F-U. Just as Cena looked to put Gimmick away a man with a mask ran down the ring holding none other than the World Title. Cena had his back turned on him and didn’t see as he slid into the ring and waited for Cena to turn around. Cena eventually turns with Gimmick still on his shoulders only to get nailed with the title!! The ref slowly comes to as Gimmick lays his arm across Cena’s chest for the win.
Winner: Jimmy Gimmick via pinfall at 15:58
Luminous Robin vs. Matt Hardy
The highflying Luminous Robin took flight in this one early delivering a plethora of high risk moves, including contorting the body of his opponent through a series of hurricarana’s. Matt turned the tables on the risk taker when he grounded him with a series of submission holds. Hardy began working the right leg of Robin with a Half-Boston crab, as well as a variety of leg locks.
Matt continued on the offensive when Robin out of no where struck him with the ‘Climax’ superkick! Hardy fell backwards with his foot on the rope and Robin went for the cover. Just when it looked like Robin was going to still another one of Hardy the official noticed Matt’s foot on the bottom rope breaking the pin attempt.
Robin ascended the top rope from which he attempted a summersault plancha, at the last second Matt Hardy rolled out of the way leaving Robin to crash and burn. Hardy measured his opponent and connected a Side Effect once he had reached his feet! Earning Hardy a two count. Matt slowly dragged Luminous Robin up in a front face lock, he looked set to deliver the Twist of Fate, Robin twists out of it and when Matt follows he is met with the foot of Robin connecting with his jaw. The second superkick put Matt down for the three count in the center of the ring.
Winner: Luminous Robin via pinfall @ 13:47
Mr. Kennedy vs. Ric Flair
The fans were really into this one as the current Anarchy General Manager Mr. Kennedy battled it out with the former FCW Smackdown General Manager Ric Flair in his one night return. The Anarchy General Manager had clearly been training a lot for this one as he dominated most of the time, but the Nature Boy was poised to compete as he continued to battle back and fight adversity.
These two put on a great show, and it looked like it could go on forever, but just as Kennedy was lining up Flair for a big move he was locked into the Figure-Four Leg Lock! The fans were split as to who they were rooting for, but in the end Kennedy managed to get to the ropes, avoiding submission to the 16-Time World Champion. Kennedy eventually managed to battle back and looked to put Flair away once again but Flair back tossed him and Kennedy plummeted to the mat. Flair looked for the Figure Four again but Kennedy battled back, sending him into the corner. Kennedy looked to have hurt his leg after kicking Flair and the referee checked on him, trying to see if he had done any serious damage. Flair was just regaining his composure before we saw a surprise visit from Vince Osborn, but he wasn't as relaxed as last time. Osborn assaulted the Nature Boy and the hurt Mr. Kennedy, handing them both a hefty beat down leaving them beaten in the middle of the ring as the fans booed profusely.
Ruled a No Contest at 14:38
Chris Jericho vs. Randy Orton
The fans were looking forward to this one, as the feud between these two finally came to a head. While the match wasn’t necessarily a complete disappointment it was fairly one sided. The younger, more powerful, Randy Orton pulled ahead early and didn’t let go.
The two started off in an all out brawl, it was no wrestling match; it was a fight. Jericho pummeled Orton in the corner but the conniving “Legend Killer” slipped out of the situation and sent Jericho crashing into the turnbuckle. Randy Orton took advantage of Chris Jericho with grounded wrestling holds wearing down his opponent. Orton followed up his grounded holds with a series of high impact moves resulting in various near falls. Jericho was unable to turn the momentum and Orton nailed him with an RKO en route to a pin fall victory.
Winner: Randy Orton via pinfall @ 11:03

Randy Orton vs. Jimmy Gimmick
Jimmy Gimmick and Parise run down to the ring as Orton lies on the mat exhausted. The two men quickly slide into the ring and begin lying the beat down onto him as the referee looks on, not knowing what to do. Gimmick sets up a double team move, however the ref tells Parise to get out of the ring, so he does. Gimmick still has Orton in position as he shouts to Parise but he can’t come back in the ring. Before Gimmick can react Orton pushes him off and the bell rings. Gimmick turns back to Orton only to get nailed by the RKO as Orton slowly covers Gimmick for the win.
Winner and NEW World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton via pinfall at 0:11
