There’s some shady deal-making behind the scenes of this one. TeeJay’s got a trick up his sleeve—and it comes in the form of a paid-off ref. We catch the sly cash handoff on camera as TeeJay laces up his boots, getting ready to face clean-cut rookie, Rudd Hawthorne, who walks in completely unaware of what’s been set up.

Rudd gets the standard pre-match talk from the ref, who throws a not-so-subtle wink toward TeeJay. The fix is in. The two wrestlers are called to center ring, and TeeJay tries to punk out the rookie—but Rudd doesn’t flinch. The match kicks off hot and heavy, with solid back-and-forth action and both men trading control. But just as Rudd starts to build momentum, the ref steps in with bogus calls to tip the scale back toward his co-conspirator.

From there, things spiral. The ref rips Rudd off TeeJay and holds him in place for gut punches and cheap shots. The rookie takes a beating but keeps firing back—refusing to stay down. Just when it looks like Rudd might turn things around, the ref fully joins the beatdown, double-teaming the rookie alongside TeeJay. Ball claws fly, and both men take the low road—because two can play dirty.

Rudd fights through the odds and nails a devastating DDT, earning the pin fall. The ref raises his hand... only to deliver a perfect low blow that drops the rookie to his knees. Turns out, in this match, the ref’s the real winner—and no one saw it coming.
