With all four men down, the chaos outside the ring was palpable. Security and medical personnel rushed to check on the fallen referee, who was still out cold by the broken steel cage door. The match, however, couldn't stop. A second referee sprinted down the entrance ramp, sliding into place to take over the officiating duties.
As the second referee took stock of the situation, checking on each of the competitors, the crowd buzzed with excitement. This match had already delivered more than they could have hoped for, but everyone knew there was still more to come. The clock was ticking, and with the score at 2-1 in favor of Dragon Boom, The Empire had to make a move fast.
Slowly but surely, Drew was the first to stir. He dragged himself to his feet, using the steel steps for support. Stu, battered but still determined, was next using the steel cage as support. He stumbled over to his partner, helping Drew regain his footing. Together, they turned their attention to Sandro and Kofi, who were still down, clutching their midsections and upper sections in pain after the crossbody by Drew.
Sensing an opportunity, The Empire pounced. They grabbed Sandro by his arms and dragged him back toward the cage. With the steel cage door still wide open, Drew and Stu tossed Sandro back inside the ring, ready to resume their onslaught leaving Kofi outside still clutching in pain.
Inside the ring, Drew and Stu attack Sandro fiercely. After isolating him from his partner, they brought him into the upper right corner of the ring, stomping away at his chest and midsection repeatedly, with several punches and forearms connected to Sandro's face.
Sandro, barely able to defend himself, was pinned against the turnbuckle, taking shot after shot. Stu backed away for a moment, only to come charging in with a running knee strike to Sandro's face. The blow left Sandro slumped against the turnbuckle, barely showing any consciousness to the dismay of the crowd.
Drew, still feeling the effects of the match, called for Stu to lift Sandro onto his shoulders. With a sick grin, Stu hoisted Sandro up into an electric chair position, setting him up for one of their most devastating double-team moves. Drew climbed the turnbuckle, looking down at Sandro with malicious intent.
The crowd braced themselves as Drew leaped from the top rope, connecting with a flying clothesline that drove Sandro down to the mat with brutal force, as Stu fell back to give a larger impact on Drew's clothesline. Sandro's body crumpled, and Drew immediately went for the pin.
"One! Two! Three!" The referee who entered the ring, immediately had his hand hit the mat, and The Empire had tied the score at 2-2. The match was now dead even.
As the score tied at 2-2, the fans in the arena erupted in a chorus of boos aimed at The Empire. Drew and Stu, however, reveled in the negative reaction, basking in the hatred of the crowd. They sneered, soaking in the hostility, as their eyes drifted toward the titantron. With 12 minutes left on the clock, they knew they had plenty of time to turn the match in their favor. But they had underestimated one key factor: Kofi was not down for the count.
Outside the ring, Kofi was using the barricades to pull himself up. His body ached from the grueling battle, but when he saw the state of his partner, Sandro, something inside him snapped. Fury filled his eyes as he watched The Empire mock the crowd while Sandro lay beaten in the ring. Gritting his teeth and fighting through the pain, Kofi made his way to the side of the steel cage.
The crowd's excitement began to build as Kofi lifted the ring apron and searched underneath for a weapon. Moments later, he pulled out two kendo sticks, and the fans exploded in cheers. The sound of approval from the audience gave Kofi a surge of adrenaline. Wielding both kendo sticks like a man possessed, Kofi slid back into the steel cage.
Before Drew and Stu even realized what was happening, Kofi struck. He swung the kendo sticks with ferocity, one in each hand, the loud cracks echoing throughout the arena as the sticks collided with their backs. Drew and Stu howled in pain as Kofi unleashed his fury, the kendo sticks leaving welts on their skin with each thunderous strike.
The Empire had been caught off guard. Drew, clutching his lower back, stumbled forward, only to be met with another savage blow from Kofi. Stu tried to get away, but Kofi was relentless, smacking the kendo stick across his ribs and dropping him to the mat. The crowd roared in approval as Kofi's intensity grew, the wooden sticks splintering from the force of his attacks.
As The Empire writhed in pain on the mat, Kofi turned to Sandro, who was still slumped in the corner, barely conscious but stirring. Kofi tossed one of the kendo sticks to his partner, who caught it with a look of determination in his eyes. Sandro, though battered, wasn't done yet. He gripped the kendo stick tightly, using it to help himself to his feet.
With Kofi standing beside him, Sandro joined in on the punishment. Together, they rained down blows on Drew and Stu, the sound of kendo sticks cracking against flesh reverberating through the arena. The fans were on their feet, chanting for Dragon Boom as they unleashed their pent-up aggression on The Empire.
But for Sandro and Kofi, using kendo sticks wasn't enough. They wanted to make sure The Empire paid for every underhanded tactic and every moment of cruelty they had inflicted. With Drew and Stu momentarily incapacitated, Sandro and Kofi glanced at each other and knew what had to happen next.
Sandro motioned toward the open steel cage door, signaling that it was time to take the fight beyond the ring. The crowd, sensing the brutality that was about to unfold, cheered even louder. Kofi nodded in agreement, his eyes locked on Drew, who was still groaning in pain on the mat.
Sandro and Kofi each grabbed one member of The Empire, dragging them toward the open steel cage door. Drew, still groggy, was yanked to his feet by Sandro, while Kofi pulled Stu up by his hair, both men still reeling from the kendo stick assault.
They shoved Drew and Stu through the door, dragging them out of the cage and onto the entrance ramp. The fight spilled out of the ring, with Sandro and Kofi landing punches and kicks as they dragged The Empire up the ramp, occasionally delivering a stiff shot to the head or gut to keep them stunned.
As they reached the top of the entrance ramp, the crowd could feel the tension rising. The backstage area loomed just beyond the curtain, and the fans knew that things were about to get even more chaotic.
Sandro and Kofi, now fully in control, pushed Drew and Stu through the curtain and into the backstage area. The cameras followed closely as the brawl continued behind the scenes. Equipment cases, metal barricades, and lighting rigs surrounded them, creating an industrial war zone where the action could take a dangerous turn at any moment.
Kofi wasted no time, slamming Stu's head into one of the equipment cases, the loud thud echoing through the backstage area. Stu, dazed and struggling to stay on his feet, staggered backward, only to be met with a running knee to the gut from Kofi, who followed up with a forearm to the back of the neck, sending Stu crashing to the ground.
Meanwhile, Sandro had Drew cornered near a stack of steel chairs. Drew, still bleeding from his face coming into contact with the steel cage, tried to fight back, but Sandro caught him with a sharp elbow to the jaw, followed by a thunderous clothesline that sent Drew toppling over the chairs.
The backstage crew scrambled to get out of the way as the battle raged on. Sandro and Kofi weren't holding back—they knew they needed to end this once and for all. With Drew and Stu down, Sandro grabbed one of the steel chairs and tossed it to Kofi, who quickly unfolded it and set it up in the middle of the narrow corridor. The crowd, watching through the arena's big screen, cheered in anticipation.
Kofi hoisted Stu up and dragged him toward the chair, positioning him for something devastating. Sandro grabbed Drew, forcing him to his feet as well, and hit him with a hard chop across his chest followed by a low blow to his nether region causing Drew to fall down again. With both members of The Empire dazed, Dragon Boom was about to deliver a message.
Kofi motioned for Sandro to lift Stu onto his shoulders. The fans could sense what was coming as Sandro set Stu up in an electric chair position. Kofi nodded in approval before running toward Stu and hitting a brutal running knee, driving Stu's head into the steel chair with sickening force. The crowd watching on the screen erupted as Stu crumpled to the floor, completely incapacitated.
But Dragon Boom wasn't done yet.
Sandro, not satisfied, dragged Drew over to a nearby equipment case, slamming his head into the side of it. Drew tried to fight back, but Sandro lifted him up and delivered a brutal spinebuster onto the concrete floor, the impact reverberating through the backstage area.
As the minutes ticked down, Dragon Boom knew they had to return to the ring to secure the victory. With Drew and Stu lying battered and beaten backstage, Sandro and Kofi made their way back through the curtain, re-entering the arena to thunderous applause. The fans were chanting their names, fully behind their heroes.
They reached the steel cage, glancing back at the titantron. Only 4 minutes remained. Sandro and Kofi entered the cage, knowing that they had to secure one last pinfall to ensure victory.
But just as they prepared to catch their breath while waiting for The Empire to come, Drew and Stu, somehow, were crawling back toward the ring from the backstage area much to the surprise of the fans, Sandro, and Kofi.
Bloodied and broken, they refused to give up. The Empire had taken a beating, but their pride wouldn't let them stay down. The crowd gasped as Drew and Stu, dragging themselves toward the cage, re-entered the battleground.
With only minutes left, the final showdown began.
Kofi and Sandro, fueled by the energy of the crowd, prepared to meet The Empire head-on. Kofi hit Stu with a superkick, knocking him into the ropes, while Sandro delivered a devastating spinning back fist to Drew, sending him staggering backward. The action was fast and furious as the seconds ticked away.
With just over a minute remaining, Kofi claps his hand with a beat calling for Stu to stand up, preparing for one final maneuver, ready to execute his finisher Trouble In Paradise. Sandro also set Drew up for his finisher, Dragon's Shot, causing the crowd to stand on its feet in anticipation.
Sandro hits Drew on the knee, followed by running on the rope, and hits Dragon's Shot on Drew with authority, while Kofi does a single turn before hitting his finisher, Trouble In Paradise, on Stu who had managed to stand up using the ring ropes, hitting him right on the face, which possibly knocked him out cold.
With tens of seconds left on the timer, both Sandro and Kofi pinned Drew and Stu respectively after hitting their finisher on them, and the referee dropped down for the double count.
"One! Two! Three!" The crowd erupted as the final bell rang.
Dragon Boom had done it. With a score of 4-2, they had secured the victory, retaining their FCW Tag Team Championships. The arena exploded in celebration as Sandro and Kofi, battered but victorious, stood tall inside the steel cage, the crowd chanting their names.
The Empire lay defeated, and their dreams of reclaiming the tag team titles were destroyed by Drgaon Boom. Sandra and Kofi had proven once again why they were the best, and the crowd's deafening cheers were a testament to their hard-fought victory. The war between The Empire and Dragon Boom was over, with Dragon Boom standing victorious in the ring as their titles were handed to them by the referee.
