Welcome to Gaia! ::

Clips are shown on the titantron highlighting the 'Snypa Screw Job' and Nitrous' role in the whole thing. Clips then played of Shadow and the role he played in all the mayhem. Including his brawl with Nitro.

While that is going on a steel cage is lowered upon the ring. To make sure no one escaped, or climbed in, a lid to the cage, was fitted onto the structure.

Jet Johnson: The following is a 'Rage In A Cage' match! The only way to win is by submission. Introducing first...

Quite the opposite of Nitro, there was a face pop as "Fear of a Blank Planet" by Porcupine Tree began to blast through the arena. As the sounds of the twanging guitars filled the room with melancholy, cold steam poured from the entrance ramp as the music played. Emerging from the back and into the steam with the EEW World Championship belt on his shoulder, Shadow made his entrance to the show.

Announcer: "And from the Underground, weighing in at two hundred and forty-one pounds, he is the EEW World Champion: Shadow!"

Making his way down to the ring, there was a bit of a bounce in Shadow's step, unusual for his character. But today was a good day, for he had a chance to relive some of the good ol' days of OECW. Now if only they stuck a giant hole in the roof. Handing the ref outside the cage his belt, Shadow entered the cage through the door and made sure that it was shut tight behind him. Then shaking the walls of the cage to make sure everything was in place, he got up to the top rope and checked to see the roof was firmly in place as well. All with a genuine smile on his face, Shadow looked more disturbing than he was when he was in a haze of despair.

Climbing down to the mat, the ref got between both competitors. Then signaling the time keeper, the bell rang. Shadow locked in all sights on Nitro, and gave him a shrug. Then taking a step forward, he invited Nitro to lock up with himself.

After locking up with Nitro, Shadow grabbed Nitro's arm and attempted to whip him down to the mat with an Arm Dragon Screw.

((Yes, but with the arm instead))

Shadow followed up immediately with his attack. Going after the same arm he had just whipped, he attempted to send a sharp kick into the shoulder of the same arm.

While the match is going on, Snypa- complete with VIP Pass and bullhorn- makes his way to the ring area with a steel chair and unfolds it at the foot of the ramp and takes a seat.

((Snypa's face, not heel. And I don't mean Cena-face. rofl ))

The few fans that trash talked were overwhelmed by the rest of the crowd and assaulted. Security break it up, escorting the hecklers out.

And the Shadow fans continued to watch the match in despair.

Meanwhile, Shadow had been starring up the ramp at Snypa, not paying much attention to Nitro. He had a good idea as to why Snypa was there, but even so, the man was a bit edgy as of late.
