Backstage Michael Lucifer was carrying his International championship as he headed to his personal locker room, when Albert Beefcake approached him. Albert told Lucifer that he respected him a great deal, and as the Masked Marvel he was trying to uncover who could be responsible for the attacks made against him. Lucifer was about to tell Albert to stay out of his affairs, but never finished the sentence, silenced by the state of his locker room. Inside, Lucifer's locker room was splashed with the crimson tones of what appeared to be blood, and leaning on the wall, a wooden crucifix.
Devon Storm versus Patrick Mannion
Buddy Luv and Stat-Man sat stunned from the scenes before, as Devon Storm raced his way to the ring, crowbar in hand.

Banging asked Oozaru if he'd just had a shower, prompting an aggressive reaction from the Australian giant, who wanted to know what business it was of Banging's if he had. Banging told his partner to cool off, because he thought it was important for both men to be on the same page at the biggest event of the year. Oozaru apologized, and told him that Team Extreme have been called one of the best combinations in the history of tag team wrestling, and that wasn't a justified opinion, as they would prove.

Altmann asked about his thoughts on the tag title match later in the night, to which Violent J said that he would be lying if he wasn't a little nervous. He said that with Marz acting very reclusive, he wasn't exactly sure if they were going to be able to operate as a unit, but he was going to go out there, and give it his all for the fans, and for his buddy - Marz!
Meanwhile, Albert Beefcake was trying to talk to Michael Lucifer while he was heading to the offices when Abel Lucifer stepped out in front of them.

The International champion asked his brother what he thought he was playing at, and Abel laughed, telling his brother that the idea of him being the brains of the Lucifers was an overrated concept. He told his brother that sometimes he's so busy thinking, he over looks things, and it was that kind of thing that would cost him his crown. The champ shoved his brother aside, and continued on his way, while Abel laughed to himself.

Statix adjusted his wrist tape, as Michael Lucifer handed over his belt, and removed his sash. Statix offered a hand shake to the phenom, but instead Lucifer smirked and assumed a very confident shotokan styled position. Buddy Luv alluded to Lucifer's martial arts background, but admitted it was surprising to see Lucifer adopting such a disciplined stance. Statix stepped backward to his corner of the ring, and took a more neutral pose, before going on the attack with a series of intricate punches, all of which Lucifer managed to block, sending out a heart punch which fell just short of Statix' chest. Statix stepped back, as Lucifer shot out a high roundhouse kick, allowing Statix to duck it easily and strike at Lucifer with a fast uppercut, spinning heel kick combination attack. Lucifer staggered back and dropped to one knee, wiping blood away from his lip and smiling. Lucifer went on the attack, forcing Statix into the corner with wild throat thrusts, before tossing him across the ring by the throat. Statix slipped to the outside to gather his composure, while Lucifer crossed his arms with a black frown across his face. Statix jumped onto the apron, and then onto the top rope, using it to propel him into Lucifer with a cross body block. With Lucifer down, the challenger looked to capitalize, going off the ropes and connecting with the rolling thunder! Statix then went to the top rope, but was too slow getting there, giving Lucifer time to make it to his feet, and gather himself enough to catch Statix in mid-air, and shift him into position for the devil driver! Statix managed to swing his legs, seemingly defying physics by slipping under Lucifer's arm, and taking him down with a neck breaker! The two men stayed down for a three count, but were soon up, and ready to face off again. Statix staggered Lucifer with a swinging back heel, but experience allowed Lucifer to shift into the next gear, instinctively reaching out for Statix' throat. With the chokeslam seeming inevitable, Marz surprised everyone and raced down to the ring with the tag team title in hand, and slammed Lucifer right in the side of the head! With Statix fallen back, Marz continued to assault Lucifer, when Steven Oozaru ran down! The chaos erupted into a four man melee, eventually seeing Lucifer connect with a big boot to Oozaru, while Statix took Marz down with a Static Slam. The distraction posted Lucifer the opportunity to surprise Statix from behind with a dragon sleeper, which he quickly turned into a devil driver, and a pin, just barely scoring the three count.
Winner: Michael Lucifer via pin fall [9:21]
Michael Lucifer (c) versus Statix
Green sparking pyros shot up at the entrance way as the sensation made his way down the entrance way to a standing ovation. The fan favourite looked to be in terrific shape, as that wall of fire shot up at the entrance, marking the entrance of the spirit of vengeance, the world champion - Michael Lucifer. Lucifer took slow, long strides as he made his way to the ring, nodding his head as he stepped over the top rope to enter the ring. Statix adjusted his wrist tape, as Michael Lucifer handed over his belt, and removed his sash.

Officials forced Steven Oozaru and Marz up the entrance aisle, keeping them separated, while
Statix remained in the ring, and acknowledged Lucifer's win. Lucifer took the championship belt, and
nodded, holding the title above his head, and pointing out to Marz and Oozaru as DOA4 came to
a startling, action filled conclusion, with Buddy Luv and Stat-Man plugging Civil Action.
