The two left for the match.
At the arena.
The four men we're on the ring, a fatal fourway for the IC title. The bell rang and Rade and Dario we're on the same side and we're fighting the "alliance" of Daivari and Elias. The two teams managed to start a brawl and the Brawler and Duke threw out their enemies and they we're the only ones on the ring and the crowd was chanting "Yes!" over and over as they got two see a long anticipated match and the two friends nodded and shook hands and began brawling, firing with all their might and it all turned around after Daivari entered inside with a Frog Splash knocking the two out, he got The Brawler for a Hammerlock Lariat and went for the pin but the Duke manage to break the count, the Persian Leopard got up only to get a Giga Savate Strike to the jaw and the Duke went for the pin but Elias broke it. The Duke got up with a fire glaring look at the Drifter as he flees and the Duke followed him and ran circles around the ring, upon entering the Brawler hit a kick the head and the Duke entered and did a Double Leg Takedown to the Brawler before grabbing him for a Judgement Arrows, the Serbian managed to get the ropes for the submission to end and the Duke let go and he grabbed the Brawler only to get a punch to the face but Daivari did Step up Knee Strike to the Brawler before following it up with a Enzeguiri to the Duke and went for the pin but Luka Gabriel came out running and managed to get to the ropes and Daivari charged at him and the Departing Sanity backed off smiling at the Persian Leopard.
Luka: The future is foreseen that you won't win.
Ariya: I will destroy you for interrupting my momentum!
He got out and was face to face with the Croatian but a Spear from the Duke from out of nowhere managed to neutralize him and got up and winked at the European and Luka smiled before Shepherd enters again to find Elias setting up Rade for a Drift Away but the Duke interrupted it by throwing out the Drifter outside the ring and grabbed Rade who fought back, while outside the ring Lula ran up to Elias and did a Canadian Destroyer knocking him out while the ref was busy with the Europeans, back at the ring Rade grabbed Shepherd for a TKO but the Duke got out and did Giga Savate Strike and went for the pin and the crowd went wild.
Announcer: Here's your winner and the new IC champion... Blood Shepherd!!!
The Duke of the Balkans got some new momentum by winning the IC title for a second time, then Luka came in stood by the Macedonian's side as they watched Rade get up and he saw the two smiling at him and Shepherd extended his hand to him, the crowd thought that the three will team up and it was true by the Brawler accepting his hand and got up and shook it and they then went out side and grabbed Daivari and Elias and threw them inside and got inside as well, Rade grabbed Elias in a Powerbomb position and Luka ran to the ropes for a Springboard Cutter and Powerbomb combo and it was successful, next the Duke told the two to grab Daivari so he could finish him off the two did what he said and he used the ropes for a Spear and it penetrated Daivari leaving unconscious before the three Balkan superstars we're standing talk and then they saluted to the crowd while in a serious look and now there is a new alliance born.
