Billi Lightning then came down the ring with posession of the IPW:UK Title belt. He explained that he didn't STEAL the belt, he BORROWED it for the good of the Hated Heroes, and the publicity that he brought to IPW:UK. In a shocking scene, he then brought out two of IPW:UK's top trainees, JD and Ciaran, who both were attacked by Andy Boy at the last show in November. He apologised to them for Andy's attack, before then going one better and double teaming both trainees with the help of LT Summers. "Anything you can do, i can do better", appeared to be the message.
This brought out Simmonz, who made his way into the ring and was greeted by Christmas gifts from the former Big Brother star. Summers' gift was a brand new Playstation 3, while Andy Boy's gift was an Umaga figure (playing off the fact that Simmonz was beaten down on a recent WWE RAW event by the Samoan Bulldozer). Simmonz wasn't happy, but before anything could be done, this brought out U-Gene! U-Gene, who saw the figure, decided he wanted to come and 'play', and had brought a Hulk Hogan figure of his own.
In the melee of this mess, LT Summers ripped U-Gene a new hole, verbally, before receiving a Stunner from the former WWE superstar for his troubles. Lightning then took to the high road. And in all of this, where was Aviv Maayan...
Match 3 - British National Championship 1st Round: 'Sadistic' Jack Storm defeated 'Playboy' Phil Bedwell via pinfall after a low blow and an Emerald Fusion to advance to the Second Round of the British National Championship in 10:05.
Match 4 - IPW:UK Tag Title Match: The Kartel (c) defeated The Leaders of the New School (Robinson/Scurll) after interference from fellow 'Leader' Nikko Brixton backfired and Scurll/Robinson were downed with double powerbombs for their troubles in 14:43.
Interval.
Blok Busta then stormed to the ring to let fans know that JC Thunder hadn't arrived, and once again had shirked his open challenge. Busta then said he had a story to tell fans, but unlike JC Thunder, Blok Busta doesn't make stories up and thus he can't be bothered. He said he had new shiny black ring attire, but since JC Thunder wasn't going to be there, tonight Blok Busta was going to try "SQUASH STYLE", and called out resident IPW:UK under-achiever Tommy DeMorey. It wasn't he who answered the call however, as out came former WWE star U-Gene!
Match 5: U-Gene defeated Blok Busta via pinfall after a Rock Bottom and a Stunner in 11:50. During the match Blok Busta used several of JC Thunder's trademark catchphrases once again.
Match 6: 'The Guvnor' Martin Stone defeated 'The Bad Boy of British Wrestling' Jon Ryan via pinfall after the London Bridge in a convincing victory for the former IPW:UK Champion in 6:50. After the match, Dean Ayass ran from the crowd and told Stone that time was ticking and that next month when it was Stone vs. Stixx in the British National Championship, the outcome would leave Stone "like Heath Ledger"!
Main Event - IPW:UK Title Match: Andy Boy Simmonz (c) defeated British Legend Johnny Saint via pinfall after a powerslam in 8:53! After the match, Saint showed his respect for Simmonz' abilities, and Andy Boy was once again left reigning supreme.
