Unified Tag Team Championship:
Hell United (DMK & Shawn Midnight) (C) vs.
Gravedigger & Zach Wesley
The odd duo of 'Digger and the "Mohawked Maniac" had seemed to be on tense terms since their partnership formed, but it was undeniable that their strength and teamwork had allowed them to rise up the tag ranks. Their ascension turned them into #1 contenders, and was set to challenge DMK & Midnight for the belts at The Bash PPV. Leading up to the PPV, it was clear that the Hell United team was legitimately concerned over what type of team they were going to face... the insane personalities about to implode at any second, or a well-oiled crazed machine about to take their titles away?
DMK and 'Digger started the bout, staring each other down as the crowd watched anxiously for these two power teams to put it on the line. It seemed like DMK was going to back off, but then he fired back with a punch and the match was on! The two creepy heavyweights traded blows, hoping to gain a quick advantage and set the tone. The "Monster" got the WWE champ reeling, and planted him with a big slam. 'Digger then tagged in his "Maniac" partner, and Wesley got in some good shots as well. DMK was able to fight back and escaped to tag in Midnight, and "Daddy Mack" swung the momentum back to the champs. He fought off Wesley, knocked 'Digger off the apron and dropped the "Maniac" with a vicious powerbomb. Shawn went for the cover, but the "Monster" saved the pinfall to keep them alive.
The action spilled ringside briefly and the challengers again took control and it seemed like they were on the verge of claiming the win. But after Wesley rolled DMK back into the ring, the two crazed challengers began to argue. It seemed like they were unsure of who was the legal man, and both of them wanted to climb in and finish the job. In a heated moment, Zach shoved 'Digger to the barricade and climbed back into the ring. The act angered 'Digger and he grabbed Zach from the apron. The two argued more, but the encounter allowed DMK to recover. The champ pushed Zach into 'Digger, knocking the "Monster" to the floor where Midnight kept him down. In the ring, the collision dazed Zach and he stumbled right into DMK's Checkmate finisher! The King scored the pinfall and allowed Hell United to retain the belts!
DMK & Shawn celebrated mildly, knowing they escaped as champs by a small margin and quickly made their way back up the ramp. In the ring area, it was clear that the tension between 'Digger and Zach had finally boiled over, and the losing challengers glared at each other.

United States Championship:
David Degenerate (C) vs. Antonio Jordan
The month of June saw "America's Favorite" try very hard to gain a psychological edge over his rival and U.S. champ David Degenerate, but the "Genius" always seemed to have a trick up his sleeve. Even trying to physically intimidate him was useless, as David's Badass Coalition buddies were never too far away. But Antonio vowed to make an impact at The Bash PPV, where these two would battle in a title rematch!
Antonio came out first to a cheering crowd, who wanted to see the "Mastermind" regain the title in decisive fashion. The crowd's reaction then changed dramatically when David's theme blasted throughout the arena. David loves to infuriate the crowd, and holding a title belt gives him a big swing of confidence that drives the fans crazy. The crowd booed the U.S. champ mercilessly as he swaggered his way to ringside, almost like his confidence was feeding off their hatred.
When the two rivals entered, the match action picked up quickly! Antonio laid into David with a furious combo of punches, trying to get an early advantage. He whipped the champ hard into the corner, followed up with a clothesline... and planted him with a suplex! The early cover was not successful, but Antonio was definitely sending a message.
David rallied back outside the ring, reversing a move and smacking Antonio's head off the steel steps. The counter gave the champ the control, and he worked on Antonio's shoulder repeatedly with clever moves. The "Mastermind" gripped his arm in pain, but managed to keep himself in the fight with well-timed moves.
But in the end, David's strategy overcame Antonio's determination. With the champ dazed, Antonio tried to land his American Dream finisher... but David delivered a headbutt right onto Antonio's injured shoulder! The "Mastermind" had to release his grip due to the pain, and David followed up quickly with his Genius Bomb finisher! The champ covered immediately and got the 1-2-3 count to retain the title!
The "Dangerous Genius" hugged his U.S. title tightly as he staggered up the ramp, while the ref checked on Antonio's shoulder. David's smiling face locked eyes with a glaring and disappointed Antonio as the crowd gave David a sour reaction!

Intercontinental Championship:
Travis Roarke (C) vs. Carson Pain
The popularity of Carson Pain had been growing fast, and "The Original" finally made a big jump when he became #1 contender for the I.C. title. His rise naturally angered the current champ Roarke, who vowed to end Carson's jump abruptly. The two developed a small rivalry in the buildup to The Bash PPV, as Carson's charisma clashed with Travis' rough brawling style and fans were excited to see this battle with the belt on the line.
"The Original" entered first and fired up the crowd, who was hoping to see the fan favorite take another leap. The "Assassin" then came out with a focused look, warming up with some punches and ignoring the crowd's negative reaction. When the bell rang, the two locked up and started the bout. Carson took control early, but a well-timed punch dazed him and allowed the champ to grab momentum.
The smooth execution and athleticism of Carson created a very interesting matchup with Roarke's fighting combos, with each man holding the upper hand at different points. In the end, Carson's focus on Travis' legs worked to his advantage. With the champ struggling to maneuver, Carson surprised him with a Fresh Cut signature... and then quickly locked in his Ankle Pain submission! Roarke tried to crawl to the ropes, but Carson scissor-locked his leg and prevented him from reaching them! With no hope in sight, Roarke was forced to tap out and give Carson the huge victory!
The crowd burst into cheers as Carson celebrated his 1st title win! "The Original" raised his belt high and stared in amazement at the gold!

Six-Man Tag Match:
Bullet Boyz (Craig & Tony Bullet) & Ace vs.
Brett Diamond, Tommy Parker & Joey Cooper
Two feuds molded into 1 big PPV match as World Heavyweight champ Ace teamed up with the Bullet Boyz against Parker & Coop and the "Professional". Earlier in the month, Ace and Brett began to experience serious cracks in their partnership. But rather than work through their issues and prosper... Ace decided to end it completely when he brutally attacked his former friend! Brett didn't like that and wanted to take on the World champ in order to prove himself worthy. The tag team division has been heating up lately, but two rival teams can't seem to leave each other alone! The Bullet Boyz fell just short of earning a Tag Team title shot this month, and decided to take out their frustrations on the Olympic duo! Parker & Coop claimed to be ready to boost their tag team cred by pulling off a big win over their higher-ranked foes.
Parker & Coop entered first and got a nice welcome from the crowd, while Brett received the same when his "Welcome to Atlanta" theme played. The "Professional" shook hands with his partners and briefly talked strategy while they waited for their opponents. The Bullet Boyz entered next, showing off for the crowd and bouncing their way to the ring. The final entrant was World champ Ace, who taunted the crowd and warmed up his muscles in preparation for battle. Craig Bullet and Joey Cooper started first for their respective teams, and the fight was on!
The match itself was impressive for both teams for different reasons. For Ace, his athletic ability that helped him become World champ was evident as he caught both Parker & Coop with strong moves. The Bullet Boyz were clearly the most teamwork-oriented duo... but of course couldn't help themselves from a dirty move here and there. But Brett and the Olympians held their own and kept the crowd in belief of an upset victory. Brett was dying to get his hands on Ace, but the champ continued to tag out to avoid a confrontation. Parker & Coop's wrestling skills countered their opponents' high-flying tactics, which allowed them to work well-timed tags and maneuvers.
When Brett finally got his chance to match up with Ace... he let the champ have it! All his frustrations came out in a fury, wailing on his former friend with hard punches and even harder slams and suplexes. But Brett got overzealous on his attack, and one mistake cost him and his team the match. Brett had Ace reeling and tried for his finishing move... but a stalking Ace flipped up to his feet and caught Brett with his Royal Flush finisher! Ace scrambled for a quick tag to Craig and Tony dashed across the ring to send Parker & Coop down to the floor! With Brett prone in the ring and his teammates out of range, Craig jumped onto the top turnbuckle... and landed his Law Breaker finishing splash! The referee counted the ensuing pinfall to give the Bullet Boyz & Ace the win!
Craig, Tony and Ace raised their arms in celebration despite the crowd's disapproval, while Brett could only shake his head in disappointment. Parker & Coop seemed dejected as well, but patted Brett on the shoulder in a sign of friendship. The lasting image of the match was Ace holding his World title belt high and nodding in Brett's direction, with the "Professional" giving him an angry glare!

WWE Championship:
DMK (C) vs. Big Mutha Trucker
DMK had a big slate heading into The Bash PPV: a Tag Team title defense with partner Shawn Midnight (see above)... and a WWE title bout against Badass Coalition rival Trucker! The Coalition stable had made it clear that they viewed DMK as their ultimate threat on the Raw brand, and they were trying everything to beat him... including trying to take his biggest title! Trucker had climbed up the ranks and became #1 contender, and with the support of his stablemates, prepared to upset the King and give the Coalition another big victory in their goal for supremacy! DMK tried not to stretch himself thin with 2 PPV matches, but he knew that this match was going to be huge in terms of control over Raw.
Trucker's entrance was greeted with vicious jeers from the crowd, but he shook them off and seemed confident in his ability to challenge for the title. Then DMK's stage pyro hit, that Metallica theme blasted through the speakers and the crowd went wild! DMK made his way to the ring slowly, staring down Trucker and trying to intimidate his challenger. But just moments after the bell rang and he removed his coat, Trucker attacked! The "Resident Redneck" pounded on the champ, trying to hurt him early and gain control. Trucker went for his White Trash signature, but the champ broke free and landed a big reversal!
The brawl between the two rivals continued, with the action spilling ringside briefly as they both tried to destroy each other. In a big moment, Trucker accidentally knocked down the ref... and the other Coalition members sprinted to ringside! DMK fought off Tank, Dylan and David D. as Trucker snuck out of the ring and grabbed a chair. With the champ distracted, Trucker slid back in and went for a big chair shot... but missed as DMK ducked in time! Trucker turned back and walked right into DMK's Checkmate finisher! The ref had woken just enough to count the pinfall, and the crowd went crazy!
DMK celebrated proudly and taunted the Coalition with the belt, knowing he again had ruined their plans. Tank, Dylan and David D. pulled Trucker from the ring and assisted him to the back, but glaring angrily at the champ as the PPV came to a close!
