*SPOILERS AHEAD*
Okay, so now that those who want to catch up have had the chance to do so, let's get into some results for the Dojo's return event!
Reward: 4pts
The Dojo's first show back kicked off with an intense matchup between the punching machine Nick Nohart and the crafty Sonny Driftwood. From the start, Driftwood was at a girth-disadvantage. Nohart came out strong, throwing his beefy elbows against the face of Driftwood over and over. Eventually, Driftwood began to wear down Nohart and was able to get some offense in, but in the end, it was Nohart connecting with a Spinning Backfist to earn the first points of the new season!

Jewwel: You know, I walked into this ring tonight with all the confidence in the world. I have countless accolades in amateur wrestling, and I've fought against some of the top competitors in the world. There were some that told me, even with all that under my belt, that stepping into an E3 Wrestling ring would test me more than anything I've ever faced before. I scoffed at 'em. But... Raven, you showed me tonight that I have a lot to learn, and apparently, I have a lot to learn... from YOU. So, with that being said, I would be honored if you would be my partner at the next Dojo show.
The crowd is in a bit of shock, and apparently Raven is, as well. Jewwel hands Raven the mic a takes a few steps back to wait for Raven's reply.
Raven: It takes a lot of guts for someone of your achievements to act humble. I was impressed with your ability tonight, but I'm even more impressed by you now. Honey, you're good people. Let's tag.
The two women shake hands as the crowd cheers in anticipation for the potential of this new team.
w/ special guest Iggy Sharpe
Van Mac, a male wrestler who will be making his wrestling debut on the next Dojo show, is in the ring, mic in hand. Across from him is a 6'5" spiky-haired grunge boy named Iggy Sharpe. Iggy will also be debuting next episode.
Van Mac: Settle in, San Antone! Welcome to the Van Mac SHOW! You and I are gonna get to know each other REAL well over the next few months. You'll come to see that I'm the ABSOLUTE best in the world with EVERYTHING I do. But enough about me. Tonight, we have a VERY special guest here tonight... SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!!!
The crowd erupts with laughter.
Van Mac: Yeah-yeah, look! He's got the red shoes, the blue tights... even the blue mowhawk! Seriously, mang, who the hell let you out the house looking like a junkie version of Sonic?
Iggy does not look pleased, but is restraining himself well.
Van Mac: I ought to whoop your ass right here right now for looking that way...
Iggy starts to leave the ring.
Van Mac: Hey, where you goin? We ain't done yet. I still need to...
Van Mac gets BLASTED in the back of the head with a forearm mid-sentence. Mac drops to the ground and looks up to find Hashira Masu standing over the top of him. Masu drops down to one knee over Mac and starts laying in more elbows, until security is able to restrain Masu. Mac needs assistance to the back. Not looking good. What caused Masu to attack Mac?!

Roland Haggard (0-0-0; 0pts) & Hashira Masu (0-0-0; 0pts)
Reward: 2pts (x2 Main Event Modifier) each
Austin Uber & Austin Tayshus have known each other since childhood and have trained together for years now. That made pairing the two an easy decision for the E3 Booking Committee. However, Austin City Limits is the ONLY established tag team in the Dojo out the gate, so the pairing of Roland Haggard and Hashira Masu is merely an experiment at this point. Even then, Haggard and Masu showed that they have an interesting dynamic. Masu, who is on excursion from Japan, is having a difficult time navigating the US with little grasp of the English language. Earlier in the show, we saw Masu attack Van Mac during The Van Mac Show. E3 officials have now come to the conclusion that Masu was riled up by someone backstage (possibly Haggard) into thinking that Van Mac was out in the ring trashing Masu (which we know is incorrect). Still, we saw some good double-team maneuvers by Haggard & Masu. It wasn't enough to beat the established team, however, as Austin Uber pinned Hashira Masu with a German Suplex just past the 20 minute mark.
