The new look ICWW: Civil Action was packed with a capacity crowd as Buddy Luv and Stat-Man went wild in the brand new commentary booth. On the big screen the ICWW clock counted up from "-1" to "0". Stat-Man declared the clock must've been counting up to the new look Civil Action, but Buddy Luv said he doubted it was that simple.

Backstage Jesseman was stretching in the Super Friends locker room HQ when Albert Beefcake entered. He said that he had been talking to some people, and though that perhaps the two of them should fight on Civil Action just to test their friendship. Jesseman looked at him strangely and told him that was one of the stupidest reasons for a match he had ever heard. Jesseman then told Albert that he had bad news, recently he had discovered that even super heroes could fall victim to hemorrhoids and he would be forced to take some time out soon. Albo looked stunned, and was able only to utter the phrase, "rar" as Jesseman uncomfortably sat down.

A promo involving the feud between Michael Lucifer and the Nomad played over the big screen, getting fans hyped about the first ever international championship match to take place at Breaking Point. Buddy Luv informed fans that earlier in the week Rhyno and Bill Alfonzo held another press conference, announcing a deal that saw Rhyno into the headlining match of Breaking Point, which brought about the announcement of a merged Heavyweight/National/Eurasian title - the first world title!

Jason Shamrock made his way to the ring to face Statix in a scheduled rematch of their match on Aftershock. The two of them first began their feud at Worlds Collide, but Shamrock only leads with one win. Statix made his way to the ring first carrying an Old Blood shirt, he said that for those wondering in the crowd, the Old Blood is dead. Statix turned his nose up and threw the shirt into the crowd, saying he didn't even want to see it, and as far as he could tell - no one else did. Jason Shamrock's music cut Statix off, as the shoot fighting former heavyweight champion raced down to the ring and began hammering away with hard right hands. He sent Statix into the ropes, and he took Shamrock down with a hard neck breaker. Shamrock tried to mount another offense with a boxing combo, but he continued to use the punches too often, allowing Statix to really take control of the match. With Shamrock reeling Statix dropped his opponent with the Blood Bomb, sending him into next week. Shamrock tried to scored a northern lights suplex, but didn't have the strength, instead falling to the static slam and a pinfall win for the rookie sensation.

Trell made his way to the ring looking very irate. He took to the microphone and said that what he had just seen and heard made him sick. He said that he was a legend in independent wrestling, and for him to not be involved in the first ever international championship match was an absolute joke, especially when it was all about tables. He said he knew if Lucifer wasn't seeing it now, he would do, and demanded to be in the match at Breaking Point. He then threw down the mic. and stormed backstage.

Loopster entered the ring and called out Marz, he said that his win last week was all fluke, because the Loopster was caught by surprise. Marz ran to the ring looking to prove otherwise, but was caught with a hard DDT as he reached the ring. Loopster ran to the turnbuckle and went flying back into Marz with a moonsault! Loopster picked him up looking for another move, but Marz countered into a sit down powerbomb, but didn't even get a two fall. Loopster rolled out of the ring and revealed his trademark 2x4 plank wrapped in barbed wire! He ran in and plastered Marz with a shot to the head. With a harsh gash on his forehead Marz struggled to his feet and swung with a wild clothesline, but Loopster ducked it and dropped him with a sudden something factor, rolling over it to score a pinfall win over Marz.

Backstage Oozaru and Banging were in their locker room discussing names for them as a tag team. Oozaru said that they were connected by region, so he though the Pacific Connection was a good choice. Banging nodded in agreement. Oozaru agreed that it was settled then, the next big tag team was the Pacific Connection. Banging then mention what had gone on between the tag team champions earlier, and the two of them started laughing. Banging said, "to test their friendship" before the Pacific Connection both left their room laughing hysterically. Elsewhere Violent J was watching the Pacific Connection on a monitor, he said that if Oozaru and Banging thought they had a chance at beating Team Extreme for a shot at the tag team titles they were crazy. J turned around to find Oozaru looming behind him. J gulped and Oozaru said he'd be seeing him in the ring.

The Y2J countdown began, signaling the entrance on Chris Jericho. Fans booed Jericho as he made his way to the ring with a microphone ready to talk. He told the crowd to please shut the hell up, and they began chanting "oh what a lovely tea party". Jericho told the fans to stop quoting the JCW ass clown, and to start quoting the ayatollah of rock and rolla. The crowd booed, and suddenly unfamiliar music started up, only to reveal Matt Hardy and Lita! Hardy said that he had heard Jericho had returned to ICWW to put an end to the boring, ratings damaging segments, and he understood that, but didn't understand why he was contributing to them. Hardy asked Jericho if he was trying to fight fire with fire or something. Jericho told Matt Hardy that he didn't know what he was talking about, because everyone in the arena knew that Action is Jericho. Hardy and Lita laughed, and the surprise superstar told Y2J that what ICWW really needed was a dose of Mattitude. Hardy raced to the ring, and Jericho started beating down on him with the microphone before the ring bell was sounded. Jericho sent Hardy into the ropes and caught him with a diving forearm, and then slammed him face first with a bulldog from behind! Hardy locked up for a gut wrench, and then flipped Y2J over with a snapping suplex. Jericho fought Hardy with hard chops, and the took him down with a vertical suplex, rolling into position to hook up with the walls of Jericho! Suddenly Violent J ran down to the ring, slid in and nailed Jericho with the JCW title belt, allowing Hardy to roll over with a small package and get the pinfall. Lita raced over to congratulate him as the two back off, leaving an unimpressed Chris Jericho in the ring to complain.

In the ring both Oozaru and Violent J were accompanied by their partners to the ring for their one on one singles encounter. They squared off in the ring, Violent J looking to start things with a neck breaker, but Oozaru managed to counter with a belly to back suplex. J went off the ropes and took his opponent down with a clothesline, and then followed up with a hard hitting DDT. Oozaru made it back to his feet and dropped the JCW Y2Juggalo with a hard military press slam, and then followed up with a fisherman suplex looking for a pin, but not getting the fall. Marz and Banging were finding it hard to stay apart, starting to brawl on the outside. In the ring J went for a running head scissors, but Oozaru caught him with a tilt a whirl slam, and then picked him up and sent him into the ropes, scoring the flatliner! Marz rolled into the ring, and Oozaru turned his focus there, stomping away on the Team Extreme member, before turning around right into a JCW dropkick! With Oozaru down J stood in the middle of the ring and looked at his hand and then the crowd, and did the Juggarooni right in the middle of the ring! Oozaru grabbed him from behind and slammed him down with a lag buster, allowing him the pinfall. The two teams continued to duke it out on their way to the locker rooms.

Backstage Rhyno and Bill Alfonzo were with Shane Altmann just moments away from a no holds barred headlining match involving the National/Eurasian champion Rhyno, and another man to fight for the international championship - The Nomad. Bill Alfonzo said it's true that he was employed by Rhyno, but he only took the job because he knew Rhyno had talent. He said the campaign of pain was already underway, and there was no way anyone could stand between Rhyno and gold. He said he was like a rabid bull who had seen red, and was charging toward glory. Rhyno grunted at Altmann, before shoving him aside and heading to the ring.

In the ring the Nomad bounced off the ropes, waiting for the manimal to arrive. His eyes locked with former associate Bill Alfonzo, allowing Rhyno to capitalise from behind with an axe handle smash. The Nomad went off the ropes and attacked with a hard diving forearm, and followed up with a smooth crescent kick. Rhyno went off the ropes and dropped his opponent with a clothesline, and then stomped down on the Nomad. Nomad jumped to his feet and looked for a second crescent kick, but Rhyno dodged it, only to be caught with a bible black! Suddenly the arena went dark and Michael Lucifer stormed the ring, slamming the Nomad with a chokeslam! Rhyno crawled over the Nomad to manage the pin as Civil Action came to a close.
