Buddy Luv and Stat-Man were pleased to welcome fans to the ICWW arena for Aftershock, exclaiming their delight in ICWW not closing. They clarified that over the past week Michael Lucifer sold his final stock in the ICWW company, and the board then opted to remove him as CEO of the company. He still remains the world champion, and has a wrestling contract, but now holds no power of veto.

The Y2Juggalo countdown began and the arena erupted welcoming Team Extreme, the general managers of IWA, the new partner and ally to ICWW. J took a microphone and asked the arena if they were down with the clown. The crowd went berserk and J shouted "oh what a lovely tea party" before handing the microphone to his partner. Marz admitted to the crowd that even though they were the new general managers of IWA, they certainly were no Mick Lucifer, in fact, they were about four times better. The crowd laughed along with Team Extreme, and they continued, claiming that they were already the greatest tag team in history, and now they would be the greatest general managers in history. J then snatched the microphone and said that was why they were making the brilliant executive decision of crowning themselves the IWA tag team champions! Oozaru and Banging stepped out at the entrance at this time with their ICWW tag team championships. Oozaru said he wasn't down with the clown, and he wasn't down with the IWA tag team champions. Oozaru said that he and Banging were the greatest tag team champions, hence the belts over their shoulders. Oozaru then challenged Team Extreme to a tag team championship match at End of Infinity, to which Team Extreme accepted and added a TLC stipulation to the match.

Matt Hardy made his way to the ring next to take on Oozaru in one on one action. The former hardcore champion squared off against Oozaru, falling in a tie up and going down with a hard DDT. Oozaru kept the pace slow, dropping Hardy with a stiff neck breaker and then sent him into the ropes. Hardy ducked under the tag champ, and hit him with a swinging neck breaker and then a big drop kick! With Oozaru dazed Hardy went off the ropes and drilled Banging with a base ball slide, and then went back to work, only to be caught with a flapjack from Oozaru. The big man looked for a powerbomb, but Hardy managed to counter it with the twist of fate. From there he hit the guillotine leg drop, and scored the pin fall!

Team Extreme returned to the entrance way still enjoying their power trip. They said they had news from the ICWW board that a few things were going to take place on Aftershock, in particular an international championship match. They said Rhyno and The Nomad would face each other to determine a number one contender once more, who would go on to face former CEO Michael Lucifer, who was lucky to have the job and title as long as he did. Marz took the microphone from his partner and then said since he was going to be busy being the best tag teamer in the world, someone else could replace him in the hunt for the X-Division title, and it wouldn't be Violent J or Chris Jericho. It was instead going to be Chaos Drone!

Rhyno headed out to the ring first accompanied by his manager Bill Alfonzo to the pleasure of the crowd. The Nomad met an equally positive response as he stormed his way to the ring, going straight to work on the Rhyno who had humiliated him in the table match weeks ago at BP. The Nomad went straight to work nailing Rhyno with a hard crescent kick! The Rhyno recovered and tried to mock Nomad by hitting a crescent kick of his own, but Nomad countered with a spear takedown! Rhyno sent Nomad into the turnbuckle with a hard whip, and went to work with hard rights and lefts before hitting him with a crushing shoulder thrust. Rhyno picked Nomad up and sent him into the ropes looking for a dvd but the Nomad flipped out of it and went off the ropes, knocking Rhyno back with a diving forearm. He then hooked up and slammed him with the Bible black, scoring the pin fall!

Loopster headed to the ring next to face Chaos Drone in one on one competition. Chaos Drone was looking to make some ground after missing a few weeks after a brutal hardcore championship match with Matt Hardy. The Drone looked to be in reasonable shape, although the level of bruising to his body wasn't particularly visible. He started off well attacking with a Lou Thesz press, but Loopster was able to recover quickly and go on the attack with a neck breaker. The Drone looked for an Irish whip but found himself reversed into the ropes, and then dropped with a dragon screw. Chaos was running out of options, looking for a stunner. He took a moment too long to recover, allowing Loopster to hit the something factor and score the pin fall.

Backstage The Nomad was with Albert Beefcake ready for his match against Michael Lucifer for the international championship belt. The Nomad told Albo his was psyched after the match with Rhyno, and he was more than ready to take what was his. Rockey Rakesh approached the two and told him he didn't stand a chance against his bhai Mick Lucifer. The Nomad asked double R what he thought he was doing, and Rockey told him he thought he was "smooooookin"! The Nomad clobbered double R before heading to the ring, Albo made sure Rakesh was alright.

The Nomad headed to the ring with a mixed reaction, ready to take another shot at the international belt. The champion Michael Lucifer headed to the ring looking a little more stiff than usual, apparently having some back issues. The Nomad capitalised going straight on the attack with a bulldog, and then a Boston crab, wrenching the back of the champion. Lucifer grabbed the ropes and climbed to his feet, sending the Nomad back with a stiff throat thrust. Nomad jumped to his feet, only to be thrown across the ring with a wild throat toss! Lucifer went off the ropes looking for a big leg drop, but the Nomad sprung up and hit Lucifer with a crescent kick! The champ staggered, but locked in the death grip on Nomad looking for a chokeslam! Nomad managed to elbow his way out of the choke hold, and shoved Lucifer back into the turnbuckle, slamming the back. From there Nomad managed to hit a top rope powerbomb, and then made the cover, scoring a near fall. Lucifer climbed to his feet and scooped Nomad up for the devil driver, but the Nomad fell over his shoulder and pounded on the lower back of Lucifer with hard right hands. Nomad hit a falling sleeper drop, and went for a lateral press scoring the pin fall and world championship!

The crowd went wild as the Nomad celebrated with the international championship, Lucifer leaning on the ropes holding his back. He attacked Nomad while he was standing on the turnbuckle, slamming him back to the mat with a chokeslam! Lucifer slid out of the ring with the title, looked at it and threw it back in the ring, shaking his head and heading to the back as ICWW: Aftershock came to an end.
