Daniel without caring about anything the fans are doing steps on the ring apron and looks around before stepping through the ropes.

Joey: Daniel Garcia here showing a stone face but you have to think that he might have doubts right?

Taz: Joey let me tell you this kid is from New York he doesn't have any doubts or fears. But he probably should with who his opponent is tonight!

Bryan Danielson comes out with a small smile on his face as the crowd pops!

The crowd continues to cheer loudly as Bryan makes his way down to the ring and high fives a few fans before going up the steps and walking along the apron getting onto the ring post and doing a pose.

Taz: I think that's one of the loudest crowd reactions I've ever heard!!!! The fans love Bryan Danielson!!!

Joey: Can you blame them!? This man is one of if not the best wrestler in the world today!

Bryan gets into the ring and continues to hear the crowd cheer him as Justin Roberts gets out of the ring and the bell rings.

Bryan and Daniel start to circle the ring as they watch the other waiting for an opening.

Joey: Both men waiting for the right opportunity.

Bryan and Daniel tie up with Bryan getting Daniel into a waist lock and takes him down before grabbing him in a headlock and keeping it on as they both start to stand up and Daniel goes to the ropes and tries to throw Bryan off them but he keeps the headlock on before letting it go hitting an arm drag making Daniel roll across the ring and stand up.

Taz: A good start to the match so far. Looks like they may be trying to out wrestle the other.

Daniel nods as him and Bryan circle each other again before Bryan puts his hand up asking for a test of strength as Daniel starts to do the same until he tries to kick Bryan in the gut who catches his leg but Daniel is able to trip Bryan and grab his legs trying to put him in a sharpshooter but Bryan is able to grab Daniel's leg and puts him in a heel hook.

Bryan starts to lock in the heel hook right as Daniel grabs the ropes and uses them to try to get out as Bryan let's the heel hook go and runs doing a low drop kick hitting Daniel sending him into the barricade outside the ring as he holds his side and Bryan gets onto the apron and runs jumping off the apron and hitting a knee to Daniel's chest sending him down to the floor.

Daniel starts to get up as Bryan runs going for a knee but Daniel hits a drop kick sending him down onto the mat as Daniel gets up and waits for Bryan to get up and as he does he puts him in a sleeper hold as Bryan starts trying to fight out it as Daniel keeps the sleeper on.

Taz: Bryan is gonna have to get out of this if he wants this match to continue. But let me tell you as a guy who used a modified sleeper hold it isn't easy to get out!

Bryan is able to get his feet on the ropes and tries to kick off of them but Daniel keeps the sleeper hold on as Bryan is finally able to kick off the ropes and make Daniel fall down and Bryan gets Daniel's shoulders on the mat as the ref starts the count.

Ref: 1...2...

Daniel kicks out and Bryan doesn't waste any time grabbing Daniel's arm and putting him in a labell lock pulling back making Daniel yell in pain as he tries to go to the ropes but Bryan pulls back more and more as Daniel puts his hand out trying to grab the ropes as he crawls towards them.

Taz: Daniel knows that the ropes won't save him but he could possibly get out of the ring and out of the labell lock!

Taz: A great show of respect by these two! Well up next we have my man Will Hobbs taking on Colin Delaney and I have to tell you I'm gonna enjoy that match.

Joey: But first we have a message from Jon Moxley who at Hardcore Heaven will be taking on Eddie Kingston in a match of his choosing.

*Video starts*

Jon Moxley is sitting in a chair as a fire is in front of him and he looks around before standing up and having a small smirk on his face.

Jon: Eddie..brotha..Whatever the fuck you wanna call yourself that doesn't matter. What does matter is that you don't understand why I did what I did to you. It wasn't because of me being one step closer to possibly becoming the ECW World champion. No and it wasn't because the fans wanted me to. It was because I was sick and tired of you having to use me to keep yourself relevant because let's be honest here you're nothing at all compared to me. So at Hardcore Heaven you and me in a Texas Deathmatch! I am gonna send you to the back of the line or possibly send you out of ECW.

*The video ends*

Joey: A TEXAS DEATHMATCH!!!???? That match is going to be amazing!!!!

Taz rolls his eyes as he starts to smile a little.

Taz: Joey that will be awesome but right now I think I'm gonna enjoy this match as Colin Delaney is already in the ring and he's facing my man! Will Hobbs!!

Taz: This is gonna be great!

Will waits as he hears the bell ring and Colin runs at him as Will immediately picks him up and hits him with a spine buster and starts punching Colin over and over again before standing up.

Taz is laughing on commentary while watching the match.

Taz: Oh this is already the best match on the card!

My goal is to bring the ECW Championship back to the light and bring it home to me. Malakai Black has a hold on that title but Malakai has a new task and that is me. I am not to be taken lightly. I have torn my ACL, broken my fuckin neck, and still came back!! I never give up and I will win the ECW championship!!! Malakai Black is a manipulative snake who will let his ego and views get in his way. Malakai, I know you are watching, we have faced off many times. I beat you every single time. I won the NXT championship from you and the result will be the same again! I beat you three times, and at Hardcore Heaven, it will be four and there is nothing you can d-
