NWA champion Raven vs. Abyss with Jim Mitchell

The bout started with each man being attached to the dog collar. Abyss laid out Raven and got a steel chair from a fan at ringside. He placed it between the ropes. Raven ducked a clothesline but a big boot shot Raven to the floor. Raven starts throwing chairs into the ring. Raven grabbed the chain and pulled it, shooting Abyss into the chair in the corner. Raven tries to whip Abyss with the chain on the floor but Abyss moved. Raven began peppering Abyss with punches. Raven missed a punch using the chain. Abyss went to work on it and went for a chokeslam, but Raven fought him off. Abyss took down Raven and set up a chair on Raven’s chest. He climbed to the middle rope and splashed Raven. Abyss began stacking chairs, then put Raven atop of it. He went back to the ropes for a legdrop but Raven moved out of the way, so there was nothing but chairs. Abyss began choking out Raven with the chain. Raven grabbed a chair and flung it backwards into Abyss’ head. Raven grabbed a staplegun. He stapled a dollar bill to Abyss’ head and does it a second time. Abyss began bleeding and rolled to the outside. Raven prepared to pull him into the ring post but Jim Mitchell distracted him. Abyss pulled Mitchell into the ring. Raven was busted open. They brawled towards the announcing table. Abyss set up a trio of tables by one of the entranceways. They brawled up the ramp to one of the entrances. Raven was grabbed for a chokeslam but fought him off. Raven knocked Abyss off the entranceway through the tables. Raven tried to drag Abyss towards the ring but was pulled off the ramp through the third table. Abyss got to his feet finally and wrapped his chain around Raven’s throat and mouth. Mitchell taunted him on the mic, reminding him that he can’t surrender. Abyss dragged him back towards the ring. Abyss sets up a table against the ringpost on the floor but Raven charges him and puts Abyss through it. I was expecting Rhyno to gore someone when I saw the table being set up. Both men rolled into the ring. Raven began boxing Abyss with punches and discus clotheslines. Raven bulldogged Abyss. He hit the Evenflow/Raven Effect DDT for a two count. Raven clotheslined Abyss over the ropes to the floor and hung him with the chain, wrapping it around Abyss’ neck. Jim Mitchell hit Raven with a cane shot to the back. Abyss removed the dog collar from his throat and covered Raven for a two count. Abyss went under the ring, pulling out a sack of thumb tacks. He ripped Raven’s shirt off in order to take away his protection from the tacks. Abyss poured out the tacks. He set up Raven in the corner. Cassidy Riley hit the ring and tried to powerbomb Abyss but was fought off. Riley climbed to the top rope but was chokeslammed out of the ring through a table on the floor. He went back after Raven but was slammed into the tacks. Raven covered him but only got a two count. Abyss hit the Black Hole Slam for a two count. Raven hit his DDT into the tacks for the pin.

Your winner and still NWA champion, Raven!

Jeff Jarrett's music began to play....


Jeff Jarrett came out with a guitar to his theme and pyro. On the mic, Jarrett said that the nightmare is over and that the NWA title will always belong to him. He said he was coming to the ring to give Raven what was coming to him. Raven prepared for a fight as Rhyno rolled in the ring behind him. Jarrett told Raven he came out to give him a piece of advice, “Turn around.” Raven did and Rhyno hit the gore. Mike Tenay and Don West screamed that Jarrett had swerved everyone and was aligned with Rhyno as they went off the air.
