A surprising edition of Monday Night Invasion threw up some curve balls ahead of this weekend's title bout Pre-Show 79! With the KFL Champion and #1 Contender taking it easy, several other stars came to the fore - not the least of which was a returning Invasion icon: ShawnMichaels!
ShawnMichaels wasn't the only return on the stacked edition of Invasion. After a month in exile, "The Redeemer" LordSkarlet made an impact with his return to active competition - dominating last week's KFL Championship challenger TripleH! The once undefeated Invasion fighter was utterly dominated by LordSkarlet, whose whereabouts has been unknown since a devastating loss at Ultimate Grand Prix VI!
The Invasion's spiritual leader has been on the sidelines ever since his Steel Cage Match loss at the Spring Classic. He made an unannounced return on Monday, goading Dez-Burnett into putting his British qualification for the upcoming European Tournament on the line! The gambit paid dividends as ShawnMichaels overcame his injuries to undo Dez-Burnett's May 6th qualification victory!
Several nations will submit two fighters into this year's European Tournament, but only Great Britain was forced to determine their selections through two qualifying bouts. In the second match, Ironize managed to build up steam over his Duo partner AcidicWonder to take out Liam in qualification! That means two Invasion stars will represent the UK as they face the greatest fighters from across Europe in a special Saturday event - May 14th! The winner will receive a Division 2 Championship match on the following May 15th Pre-Show!
Ironize's win was all the more miraculous considering he was forced to do double duty, entering the qualification battle immediately after suffering an upset loss to The Alliance combination of Jauger & PaganFreak! It was a solid win for PaganFreak, who lost his powerhouse partner Oozaru after he controversially walked out on the team! It was also the only win for The Alliance, whose leader AlbertBeefcake became embroiled in a heated clash with "American Dream" Scott-Howell! Howell's campaign for change got under the Beefer's skin, prompting the impromptu clash.
While Europe prepares to do battle, "King of the World" Ken secured his throne in a grudge match against Aussie Invader Loopster! In a rematch of last week's upset, the King restored order to his kingdom with a convincing victory over the upstart challenger!
