	After his match Josh Mathews interviewed CM Punk about his "win" over Sheamus and got nothing but "disrespect" from the IWE Champion. In an interview with Matt Striker, The Big Show revealed that he will go one-on-one with his rival, Kevin McAlmond, next week on IWE Main Event. Big Show acknowledged it would be each Superstar’s first appearance on ION Television, but threatened that it would be The Viper’s last.

		+	The stakes could not be higher on IWE Main Event’s debut as Santino Marella and Zack Nuss battled Jeremiah Garcia and Tyson Booth — the latest bout in a tournament that will determine the No. 1 contenders to the IWE Tag Team Championship. The IWE Universe in Tulsa’s BOK Center and watching around the world on ION Television witnessed a highly athletic and competitive tag team match. The tournament — with the winners set to face the Tag Team Champions, Team Hell No, at IWE Hell in a Cell — has highlighted the importance of tag team competition and it was certainly on display on IWE Main Event. Each of the agile and gifted Superstar tandems did their respective best to sway momentum in their favor, but ultimately it was the devastating Cobra that enabled Nuss & Santino to advance in the tournament.

	As the contest got underway, it quickly became crystal clear why these two ring warriors carry the most coveted prizes in sports-entertainment. Sheamus’ strategy consisted of using his brute strength to keep the IWE Champion at bay, while Punk’s resiliency and agility frustrated the powerful Celtic Warrior on numerous occasions. Momentum swings were fairly even and many near falls kept IWE Universe members on the edge of their seats. Watching from ringside with an equal blend of arrogance and trepidation was Paul Heyman, hoping his guy — CM Punk — would emerge victorious. During the course of the battle, Punk accidentally pulled off one of the turnbuckle covers, leaving the steel support exposed. As the match wore on and the two champions clashed seemingly to a stalemate, The Straight Edge Superstar noticed the exposed turnbuckle. When The Great White moved to execute the Brogue Kick, Punk ducked and tripped his opponent head first into the unprotected steel. Immediately going for the pinfall, the IWE Champion grabbed Sheamus’ tights for extra leverage and the victory. Punk’s win marked the first time since April 23, 2012, that Sheamus has been pinned — only the second time all year. It took an exposed turnbuckle and a questionable pinfall tactic for Punk to secure the win, a fact that the World Heavyweight Champion emphasized in a post-match interview. CM Punk may have defeated The Great White, but his dubious methods may not earn him the respect he demands.

	[[Team Hell No]]’s first defense of the [[IWE Tag Team Championship]]s on a pay-per-view will happen Oct. 28 at [[IWE Hell in a Cell (2012)\|IWE Hell in a Cell]], but [[Glenn McAlmond\|Kane]] and [[Kody Brown]] will have to wait a little while longer before finding out who their opponents will be. Thanks to an earth-shattering announcement by General Manager [[Steve Britz\|Booker T]] on the September 28 edition of SmackDown, the No. 1 contenders to the IWE Tag Team Champions will be determined via an eight-team tournament that will play out over the next several weeks. IWE’s tag team division is arguably the deepest it has been in years, and the tournament format will provide a natural process of attrition. Whether the winning pair will ultimately have the tools necessary to exploit the obvious fault lines in Team Hell No’s exterior, however, remains to be seen. The bracket revealed on SmackDown showed the following first-round matchups: Team [[Semmler Scholars]] ([[Mark Semmler]] and [[Aaron Peters\|Damien Sandow]]) vs. [[The Usos\|Jimmy & Jey Uso]]; [[Justin Black\|Santino Marella]] and [[Zack Nuss]] vs. [[Jeremiah Garcia]] and [[Tyson Booth]]; former champions [[B-Truth and Jose Serrano]] vs. The [[Prime Time Players]] ([[Nick O'Neil\|Titus O'Neil]]<br>[[Andy Younkin\|Darren Young]]); and [[Primo and Epico]] vs. [[Scott Wright, Jr.\|Rey Mysterio]] and [[Mystico\|Sin Cara]]. The newly formed unit of Semmler & Sandow put away The Usos in the first bout of the tournament on the very same night it was set up. Then, on the Oct. 1 episode of Raw, Rey Mysterio and Sin Kara defeated Primo and Epico to advance to the semifinals. Next up, Santino Marella and Zack Ryder will take on Jeremiah Garcia and Tyson Booth on the premiere episode of "[[IWE Main Event]]" on Wednesday at 8/7 CT on ION Television. Then, Jose Serrano and B-Truth will battle The Prime Time Players on this Friday's episode of SmackDown. With two teams down, six duos remain in contention. Which pair will make it all the way through the packed field?
