Aftershock kicked off with the crowd going wild, and the ICWW clock on the screen at "9" when all of a sudden the lights started flashing and a giant "X" ticked over on the screen. The crowd went wild as Michael Lucifer's music kicked up and he made his way to the ring with X still on the screen. He took a microphone and looked out at the crowd smiling questionably. He said that indeed, the clock had reached it's mark. He then said he would call someone who was no stranger to counts to make his way to the ring. The Y2Juggalo theme started as Violent J made his way to the ring with what appeared to be a barrel. Lucifer asked Violent J to pull two winners from the lottery barrel. Violent J then leaned over to the microphone and called out the numbers 15 and 29. Lucifer then asked the persons holding those ticket numbers to make their way to the ring. The first theme to kick up was Marz'. Backstage Rockey examined his ticket which read 15 when he was suddenly jumped from behind by the sick one - Loopster! Loopster snatched the ticket and headed to the ring. Lucifer and J both examined the tickets and confirmed that the two had won. The ICWW CEO looked out at the crowd once more and smiled, he said that he realised everyone was probably dying to know what was happening. He then informed the crowd that, "the clock had been counting up to ten, which would then be time to pull out the winning lottery tickets, why ten? Because the Roman ten is X, and I have a special surprise for these two lucky men. Firstly, at Breaking Point you will no longer be fighting simply in a one on one match, instead you will be in a ladder match. On the line will be something much more than pride, the ICWW's latest shocking addition will be at stake - the X-Division championship belt!" The crowd went wild as Lucifer headed to the back, leaving Loopster and Marz to stare each other down. Team Extreme left the ring first, as Billionaire's theme music started up.

The Billionaire made his way to the ring to take on Loopster one on one, Loopster clearly still shocked by the announcement made as Billionaire got the jump on him with a Lou Thesz press. Loopster recovered and hit the spinny DDT, but Billionaire jumped right back up and went on the charge with the cold sholder. Loopster staggered back but used the turnbuckle to strike back with a springboard moonsault! He followed with a nice loop screw, but it wasn't enough to stop the Billionaire attacking once more with a hard spinebuster. Loopster rolled to the outside and retrieved his 2x4 wrapped in barbed wire from under the ring, and plastered Billionaire with it, forcing the disqualification. Loopster staggered to the back glaring.

Backstage Rockey Rakesh entered Michael Lucifer's office. He said that he thought for trying to save his bhai he should get a reward. Lucifer said he agreed that it was very admirable of him, and that it would be a wonderful opportunity to do further culling. He said that Rockey would face Matt Hardy for his hardcore championship at Breaking Point. Rockey thanked the CEO and raced away very pleased with himself.

Chris Jericho made his way to the ring and said that he was signed to face Matt Hardy on Aftershock, which was no big thing considering Mattitude may as well be renamed Assitude, but he was upset he didn't have an extra chance to show up the ass clown. He said all of his Jerichoholics didn't have to fear, because at Breaking Point he would wipe the slate clean of any imposter Y2Js so he would never e..e..ever be forgotten again. Matt Hardy raced to the ring with his hardcore championship belt and went on the attack with an elbow combo, but Jericho struck back with a series of stinging chops. Jericho hit Hardy with a jaw breaker, and grabbed him before he could fall, wrenching down with a neck breaker. He recovered and took Jericho down with a clothesline, and followed it up with a high risk moonsault! Jericho went to work once again with hard chops, and then slammed Hardy down with a snapmare takedown. Jericho pulled off his elbow pad and mocked a former ICWW superstar, hitting a stinging elbow drop to the sternum. Hardy kicked out of a near fall and hit Y2J with a low blow. Hardy grabbed Jericho and hit him with the twist of fate, before rolling him up with a small package to score the pin fall. Celebrating with his title belt.

In tag team action Team Extreme faced the unlikely duo of Superfly and Oozaru. Superfly and Violent J kicked things off first, Marz still carrying his injured ribs. Superfly went on the attack, hitting a hard spinebuster, and then followed up with a nice tornado DDT. J tagged in his partner who went on the charge with right hands, and then sent the Superfly into the ropes, driving him into the mat with a flapjack! Marz tagged his partner back in, allowing Superfly to hit a hard reverse powerbomb. Superfly tagged in Oozaru, and Marz made a blind tag, attacking Oozaru with a hard hitting DDT. Oozaru struggled to recover, on the receiving end of hard mounted punches, but managed to fight his way up and hit the flatliner! Marz made the desperation tag back to Violent J who got shot straight back with a hard slap. Oozaru tagged in Superfly who hit the Y2Juggalo with a sit out powerbomb. Superfly stood J up and tagged in Oozaru, who finished it with a fisherman suplex.

In the locker rooms Jesseman was shouting at Albert Beefcake. He wasn't happy with the Beefer accepting a challenge from the Pacific Connection for the tag titles when he was in the condition he was in. Jesseman said he was retiring from ICWW after Breaking Point, whether they win the match or not. Albert said "rar".

For the second time in the night the ICWW CEO's music hit the system, seeing the grim ring master make his way to the ring and take a microphone. He said he had been informed that Mike Madness Trell had not arrived in the ICWW arena, and this displeased him extremely. He said he didn't perceive guile or elusiveness as signs of strength, and if Trell wasn't fit then he would be eliminated quickly. Suddenly Rhyno's music started up, as the National/Eurasian champion made his way to the ring with manager Bill Alfonzo at his side. Alfonzo snatched the mic. from Lucifer and said that he can come out and talk about Armageddon, and killing, and weakness all he wanted, because at the end of the day his man would be the last one standing. Lucifer grabbed the microphone and shoved Alfonzo back into Rhyno and told him that he didn't know who he thought he was, but he had better never come at him like that again. Lucifer then turned his attentions to Rhyno, and offered him one last shot at him before Breaking Point. Nomad's music hit next, and the smallest man in the world title match at Breaking Point made his way to the ring carrying a bo-staff. He said that if anyone was getting a shot at anyone, it was him because he was sick of everyone attacking everyone else. Lucifer then instructed the referee to ring the bell for a triple threat match, the three superstars squared off in corners ready to fight.

Rhyno started things off going for Lucifer with a stiff DDT, and then started wildly punching the heavyweight champion! Lucifer recovered and dropped Rhyno with a hard clothesline, and then dived at the Nomad with another clothesline! Nomad jumped back up and nailed Lucifer with a crescent kick, and then struck him hard with his staff! He picked Lucifer up and whipped him into the ropes, allowing him to hit a kick to Rhyno and then a gut wrench powerbomb! He went to follow with an elbow drop, but Rhyno rolled out of the way, letting Nomad step in and attack Lucifer with the red myst! Lucifer hit Nomad with a big boot, sending the back of his head straight into the turnbuckle, and then Rhyno went to work with a flurry of punches. Rhyno hooked Lucifer up and dropped him with a double powerbomb, holding it to score the pin fall victory. Bill Alfonzo jumped back in the ring and started beating down on Lucifer while Rhyno nailed the Nomad with a gore as AS came to an end.
