The wrestling fans had been hyped as this show progressed. Aleks Mason sat backstage somewhere, listening to music and performing a few stretches to loosen up his body and get himself ready for his match. A crew member working for TNW:R approached Aleks, who took off his headphones. The man/woman told him it was time for him to head towards Gorilla. Aleks would stop his stretches, and hand the crew member his headphones and phone, asking them to place them in the locker room. Mason then began to tighten his gloves as he walked towards the Gorilla Position. Aleks had walked, stretching his upperbody, into the place where the producers and Vince sat. He stood backstage, discussing something with someone there, hearing the excitement in the background from the audience. Mason finished up the conversation, as he began to pace back and forth, waiting for his cue to go out into the crowd. Aleks would grab a water bottle near by, taking a drink and then dumping the rest onto his head. He pushed his hair back, creating a slicked like effect. He began to mentally prepare himself, putting himself in a mean state of mind, as he was playing the heel. It was up to him to find new ways to get the crowd to hate him tonight. If they for whatever reason began to cheer for him, he knew he had to get them back to booing him. This was something Aleks was used to, working the majority of his career as a heel. Aleks' theme then began, only playing the intro. He stood in front of the black curtains, ready to push through them. When he got the cue from a producer, Aleks took one last deep breathe, inhaling through the nose, exhaling through the mouth. Mason pushed through the black curtains into the lights, cameras, and fans.

The theme song used by Aleks Mason ramped up, right before he walked out onto the stage with a very mischievous look on his face. The crowd was already booing him, causing an evil smirk to grow on his face. The camera caught the smirk, as the commentators made remarks of it being a cocky, or confident smile. Aleks' serious face returned, as the camera began to close up on him. For the viewers at home, they saw an occasional sign denouncing Aleks Mason, as fans expressed their dislike for this TNW:R superstar. A camera man stood in front of Aleks, pointing the camera right at him. Aleks then began to strut down the ramp, pushing the camera aside as he made his way down. Slowly, he looked to his left and right at the fans being held back by the black padded barricade. Fans, despite booing, extended their hands trying to tap the body of this larger than life character. Aleks made sure to keep his distance, not allowing the indecisive fans to touch him. "The following contest is a semi-finals match in the Universal Championship Gold Rush Tournament! Introducing first, from Las Vegas, Nevada: Aleks Mason!" Mason would reach the end of the ramp, as he came to a stop. He looked into the squared circle, the place he felt most comfortable standing in. He looked into his home territory, the wrestling ring, with great excitement building up in his body. He fed off the crowd here tonight, who were doing a good job at sending their energy throughout the arena. Mason would then turn to his left, and would get a bit too close to the barricade. A fan had successfully tapped Mason's body, causing the superstar to stop in his tracks. He looked over to his left, and stared into the eyes of the excited fan. Aleks brushed off his shoulder, before turning his back and standing in front of the steel steps. Mason quickly moved up the steel steps, using the steel post to climb onto the ring. He placed his hand on the top rope, sliding it against it as he walked towards the middle. Aleks wiped his wrestling boots on the apron, before entering the ring through the ropes. He walked in the middle of the ring, where he stood facing the hard camera. Aleks beat his chest with his right fist, and then pointed up into the heavens. Mason then backed up slowly into the corner as he waited patiently.

The camera tech circles and flies up and down the arena picking up many of audience members as the sound of an reviving motor hits the speakers as the beat drops and the arena begins to make noise getting ready to see the Lunatic Fringe Dean Ambrose. His titantron and graphic effects of his entrance displays on the LED Boards as it shows off his character and some of his most entertaining moves. Dean would be behind the curtain as he paces back and forth waiting for his signaling to go onto stage. He shadow boxes throwing many punches as he finally decides to walk out. Dean walks on stage wearing a leather motorcycle jacket with his hair extremely wet and dripping down his face. He has his hands tapped popping his knuckles as he begins to walk down the ramp. There are many Dean Ambrose followers ans supports and even haters in the arena as the crowd has a noisy reaction. The rashy loud rocker theme music suits Dean personality well as it fires him up more and more as Dean spreads his arms out shouting out words talking to the audience removing his jacket dropping it on the ramp as he continues to make his way to the ring.

The ring announcer would be in the ring as she reveals Dean's stats and home location stating "Making his way to the ring from Cincinnati, OH - weighing in at 225 lbs, DEAN AMBROSE!" The crowd cheers as Dean gives himself some light punches to the jaw as runs up the steel steps. Dean would the quickly enter the ring as he spins and walk over to the ropes until his chest hits them as he looks into the crowd with fire in his eyes. Dean would spread his arms out as he circles around the ring shouting out words as the crowd is right behind him with the reactions. Dean would then walk over to the turnbuckle as he climbs at standing on the 2nd rope and shakes his frizzy and moppy hair and swings his arms around screaming many gestures. He the jumps down as he prances back and forth near his corner as he waits for either the bell or his opponent but no matter what the situation is someone is getting dropped with a Dirty Deeds and a few punches to the face. And Dean was sure of it.

Aleks Mason stood directly across the ring from the fan-favorite Dean Ambrose. Mason eye balled the fans, in a non amused fashion, as they popped the "Lunatic". Once his opponent wrapped up his entrance, Aleks removed his own t-shirt, which TNWR finally released for the public. He balled it up and tossed it aside. The referee checked on both men, making sure they were ready. He would signal for the bell, and Mason would exit his corner, beginning to circle the squared circle.  

[Cedric Alexander]

Now Dean has witnessed throughout the past week how they have been throwing shots at one another but tonight that ends. Dean is aware of Aleks athleticism but hey that's what's going to make this fun for him because he loves a challenge. So once the bell rang Dean does some light jumps before exiting his corner sizing up Mason.

Aleks, to start of this content, would launch towards Dean, offering a collar-and-elbow tie up, a rather traditional beginning to a wrestling match  

[Cedric Alexander]

Ambrose accepts as he muslce up power trying to stay an inch tougher than Mason. Having them spin around and around.  

[User 27621113]

Aleks would attempt to make the first transition, pulling Dean in for a side headlock in the center of the ring  

[Cedric Alexander]

Ambrose would be placed into Mason's headlock as he wraps his arms around his waist to make sure he stays still while he quickly brainstorms for an escape route.  

[User 27621113]

Aleks would swing his hips, throwing Dean over to move the headlock down to the mat  

[Cedric Alexander]

Dean would be flipped down as tries to rub and mash his hands and forearm into Mason's face to make it hard and annoying for him to concentrate.  

[User 27621113]

Aleks' head would bend back as he attempted to avoid Dean's hands. Mason would break the hold, quickly getting up to his feet.  

[Cedric Alexander]

Ambrose rolls back to his feet as well as he takes no time running at Mason with an quick Knfie Edge Chop right to the chest!  

[User 27621113]

Aleks would be struck in the chest by the chop, as the crowd let out a "WOOOO" in tribute to the legendary Ric Flair.
