The crowd was up in arms, going absolutely insane as Aftershock kicked off, bouncing off the hugely successful return of Civil Action! Buddy Luv had a new face alongside him in the commentary booth, welcoming The Prince to the halls of ICWW. The Prince was pretty excited to be on ICWW, during such a monumental occasion. Buddy Luv informing fans that at an earlier meeting a representative of the mystery CEO announced that the hardcore, X-Division and extreme titles would come together. They were also able to update Michael Lucifer's condition, which was on the rise.

Recent NMW graduate Twisted Sanity raced down to the ring next, head banging his way to the ring, and stopping to examine the crowd before jumping on the turnbuckle to raise some adrenaline. Fellow rookie - the Hurricane - made his way to the ring to the excitement of the fans, as the two squared up in the middle of the ring. Twisted Sanity went on the attack with a hard chop, sending Hurricane into the ropes and taking him down with a high offensive drop kick. The Hurricane sprung back, looking for a spinning heel kick, but Twisted dropped under the attack and caught the super hero on the return with a Japanese arm drag. The Hurricane gathered himself, using the turnbuckle to launch himself at Sanity with a high cross body block. Sanity hooked up looking for a neck breaker, but the Hurricane countered with his finishing move the eye of the hurricane, scoring the pin fall victory. Twisted Sanity sprung up once again, and jumped the top rope, racing to the back.

In their locker rooms the Dark Lotus were looking unhappy. Marz told his partners that he was not going to let the Nomad get away with winning the kumite, as well as his ICWW titles. He said that he was going to take some of the Nomad's cockiness away, by dropping him on his head. Violent J stepped up and told Marz to calm down, because he too understood his pain. He said that Nomad was not down with the clown, but that was okay, because if he was not down with the clown, even though this made him frown, he would find the Nomad and assist Marz with a beat down. Marz looked at his partner strangely, while Shaggy 2 Dope started clapping in time.

In the ring Rockey Rakesh headed down to face Jason Shamrock in scheduled one on one competition. The little fire cracker headed to the ring with his tag team championship, and danced around the middle of the ring before Shamrock raced down. The two tied up, Shamrock finding the early advantage with sharp Thai kicks, knotting up the legs of the tag champ. He tied up with a front face lock, looking for the snap suplex, but the little fire cracker exploded, launching Shamrock with a vertical suplex. He taunted the crowd, and then dropped a big leg on the fallen Shamrock, taking his time to amp it up for the fans before attempting a cover, but only getting a one count. Shamrock jumped to his feet, driving Rakesh to the corner with a series of kicks. Here, Shamrock propped Rockey on the top turnbuckle looking for a frankensteiner, but the fire cracker countered it with a top rope Indian powerbomb! He scored the pin fall, and snatched a microphone from ringside. He said that he was the main bhai in the house and no one could beat him, especially not a man in bright coloured underwear like Jason Shamrock. Shamrock took the mic. and asked Rakesh if he thought he was good enough to defend the tag team titles. Rakesh said he could win the match by himself, and would be glad to put the titles on the line to fool J, and then after he took down J, he would get revenge on Triple H for his bhai!

Backstage Shamrock was retreating when he stopped Statix who was heading to the arena. He asked him if he would be his partner in the tag team championship match, and Statix told him that there were few superstars he respected more, and so he would be glad to partner with him. Violent J shouted from the background that Statix couldn't tag if he was wearing sixteen pairs of underwear and started laughing. Statix asked J exactly what he meant by that, and J told him that it was a threat. Statix looked a little puzzled and J got in his face, saying that if he thought he was going to be Shamrock's partner, he would have to fight him for the position.

In the ring the Nomad entered, carrying his tag team, international and MMAF Grand Kumite prizes. He took a microphone and told the fans that Nomad's were attracted to gold, and he was happy to lead them to the promised land. He said he was glad that he could provide leadership, and kingship to the masses of mindless fans out there. Marz' music interrupted the Nomad as the superstar appeared on stage alone. The Nomad asked him exactly what he thought he was doing, interrupting the grand kumite, tag team, world champion. Marz told the Nomad that he was nothing more than a cheap, lucky excuse for a champion, who wouldn't put over new talent. The Nomad acknowledged this, and offered Marz the tag team title shot with Jason Shamrock, but he said he didn't want any part of that. Marz challenged the Nomad to a world championship match at the next main event, and after careful deliberation the Nomad accepted with a smile, as Marz backed off looking on suspiciously.

Statix hit the ring looking in great shape to face off against Violent J after his challenge. The Y2Juggalo countdown sounded in the arena as Violent J stepped out on stage accompanied by Shaggy 2 Dope. They danced their way down to the ring, before mooning Statix! Statix stepped back looking disgusted as Violent J jumped into the ring, capitalizing with a diving forearm. Statix jumped back, going on the offensive with a spinning heel kick off the ropes. He followed it up with a spinning leg drop, but had his ankle caught by Shaggy 2 Dope from ringside! Statix turned to face Dope, buying Violent J the time he needed to go for a school boy, but only scored a two count. Statix went for a kick but J caught it, giving Statix the opportunity to dazzle with a step over heel kick! With J down Statix went off the ropes, hitting the rolling thunder and then picked him up for a static slam, getting the pin fall.

Tension was high in the arena as Buddy Luv and the Prince were joined by Johnny Begoode at ringside for the hardcore/X-Division/Extreme championship match. Begoode said he was definitely routing for the lady killer, the hitman - Jauger. Loopster made his way to the ring first, carrying both the X-Division and Hardcore championship belts. The sick one mounted the turnbuckle making some noise for the crowd, as the unlikely extreme champion - Jauger headed to the ring. The hitman stood on the stage looking out at all his fans, and blowing them kisses before strutting down to the ring and tossing his hat and sun glasses into the crowd. Loopster went on the attack with a kamikaze clothesline, and continued the motion, going off the other side, but Jauger telegraphed it, with a cane trip! The Hitman continued the assault with savage cane slaps to the back, forcing Loopster to retreat to the outside. He headed to the crowd and grabbed a Hitman fan poster and tore it in half, before stealing a crutch from a fan! Loopster jumped back into the ring and raised his eye brows and laughed, going on the attack with the crutch! Jauger deflected it with his cane, and the Hitman took a fencing stance as Loopster desperately tried to break through. Loopster's frustration culminated, prompting the sick one to throw the crutch aside and take the Hitman down with a spear! The Hitman proceeded to beat down on Jauger with his own cane, when suddenly Johnny Begoode jumped out of his seat and climbed out of the commentary booth! He raced into the ring and attacked Loopster from behind! Suddenly the arena went dark as music kicked up and Dez Burnett raced down to the ring! Burnett grabbed Begoode and tossed him out of the ring, and then hit Jauger with a moonsault! Loopster looked stunned as the rising star told him to make the cover and retreated up the ramp, Loopster crowned the new Extreme champion! The crowd went berzerk as the words 24/7 flashed on the big screen, prompting Loopster to flee through the crowd with his title belts, assuming the very worst as AS came to a shocking end!
