Van Andel Arena
G4 Network
Greg Daniels and Chris Michaels welcome the at-home audience to Grand Rapids, just 13 days away from Fully Loaded on September 27th. They announce that tonight Cheech will take on Evan Bourne and the team of Austin Aries and Randy Orton will take on The Dark City Fight Club.
The show’s introduction is interrupted as Consequences Creed and Jay Lethal make their way on-stage. The crowd roars in approval as they make their way down the ramp. Lethal looks to be in a bad shape from the torment of being held captive for the past few weeks. They enter the ring as Creed grabs a microphone and acknowledges the crowd. He says that he couldn’t be happier to have his tag team partner back on Anarchy with him, but that he’d be the only one talking tonight since Lethal was so weak. He says that he’s been waiting for this day for too long, and that there was only one thing that could make it better. He goes on to say that tonight, he was issuing a challenge to Robert Roode and James Storm to face himself and Jay Lethal in a No-Holds-Barred Match at Fully Loaded. Before leaving the ring, Creed says that Beer Money has “one week” to give an answer.
Commercial Break
Match #1
Cody Deaner vs. Evan Bourne
Deaner came out tonight wanting to overcome his loss to Evan Bourne two weeks ago, and Punk was looking to get his first taste of in-ring action after a few weeks of being off the main card. This was a back and forth match that saw Punk start with a fury of action getting a near-fall after a running knee into the corner followed by a quick bulldog. The match changed hands as Deaner was able to get Punk outside the ring, and use the ring post and guardrail to his advantage. Punk appeared to be down and out as Deaner rolled him back into the ring. After entering the ring, Deaner went for a stiff DDT, but Punk was able to power out and lift Deaner onto his shoulders before hitting the Go To Sleep for the victory.
CM Punk pinned Cody Deaner with the G.T.S. in 0:10:46.

He says that Tyler Black was just the first victim on his way to the HWL Heavyweight Title. But, Angle says, that since Tyler Black wouldn’t be facing him at Fully Loaded… he was still in need of an opponent for the pay-per-view. Angles says that he will not leave the ring until someone from the back answers his open challenge.
The crowd was a murmur as they tried to figure out who would answer Angle’s open challenge. After a few minutes, Angle became frustrated and angry and said that if no one answered him in the next “three seconds”, that’d he come backstage and find an opponent on his own. Angle counted 1… 2… 3… with no response. Visibly upset, Angle threw down the microphone and headed up the ramp as the crowd began to cheer. As Angle got to the top of the stage, KEN ANDERSON appeared from behind the curtains and began brawling with Angle! The crowd went crazy as Anderson and Angle brawled down the ramp and into the ringside area. After a few minutes, HWL officials were able to separate the two men as the crowd went crazy!
