Match Card:
Rated RKO (Seed #4) vs The Rock n' Sock Connection (Seed #5) in a Hardcore Match
Starting off the Unity Tournament with a bang, the controversial and deadly team of Randy Orton and Edge will face off against the newly reformed team of The Rock n' Sock Connection. As the higher seed in the match-up, Orton has chosen a Hardcore Match as the match type, a very surprising choice considering the Hardcore Legend himself will be on the opposing team. Mick Foley shocked the FWL with his return at Consequence, saving The Rock from potentially having his career ended by a boot to the head from Orton. However, he has now painted a bullseye on his back as the one legend to survive the destructive path of the Legend Killer, and you can be sure that Orton will pull out all the stops to make sure he doesn't make it back into an FWL ring again. Can Orton and Edge finish what they started, or will the legendary team of The Rock and Mick Foley prove too much for them?
D-Generation X (Seed #3) vs Air Boom (Seed #6) in a Falls Count Anywhere Match
Not to be outdone by the return of The Rock n' Sock Connection, the legendary team of Triple H and Shawn Michaels will be making their return as D-Generation X at the Unity Tournament to make another run at tag team gold. Their first obstacle will not be an easy one, as they will face off against the exciting, high-flying team of Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne, who will look to make the return of D-Generation X short lived and move on to the next round. As the higher seed in the match-up, D-Generation X have chosen a Falls Count Anywhere Match for the match type. This match doesn't seem to favor either team, something that D-Generation X wanted for this match, as both teams respect each other and will look to prove who the better team is. The wildcard in this match may be someone who isn't scheduled to be a part of it, as Cody Rhodes has been a thorn in the sides of both Triple H and HBK for the past few months, and will surely not be far away when this match takes place. Which team will come out on top in what will surely be an exciting match between two electric teams?
Brothers of Destruction (Seed #2) vs The Hart Dynasty w/ Bret Hart (Seed #7) in a Tornado Tag Match
In a tournament packed with reuniting teams, none may be as dangerous as the Brothers of Destruction. The brothers are teaming once again, and may not have picked a better time to reunite once again. Both are at the top of the FWL as the top title holders, and it doesn't seem like there's anyone who can slow them down. They'll be taking on the much younger team of Tyson Kidd and DH Smith, mentored by the legendary Bret Hart, who have been causing much trouble throughout the FWL with their unwarranted group attacks after their matches. As picked by the Brothers of Destruction, this will be an old-school Tornado Tag Match, where both members of each team are permitted to be in the ring at the same time. Disqualifications and count-outs are still in play, so Bret Hart will have to be very careful at ringside to not get his team disqualified. Can the young guns of The Hart Dynasty pull off an upset, or will Undertaker and Kane prove that this is still their yard?
Batista and Brock Lesnar (Seed #1) vs Los Guererros (Seed #8) in a Tag Team Knockouts Only Match
The entire FWL roster was in shock when Brock Lesnar revealed Batista as his tag team partner for the Unity Tournament, and they wasted no time showing that they were the team to beat. Both men combined to eliminate almost half of the participants, and Brock Lesnar won the pre-show battle royal by eliminating the Undertaker, his future opponent in a World Heavyweight Championship match. If the battle royal is any indication of how the tournament will go, there may not be a team capable of slowing these two monsters down. As if the odds weren't already enough in their favor, they've chosen a Knockouts Only Match as the stipulation, making this the first ever tag-team KO's Only Match in wrestling history. Clearly, this favors the two former mixed martial arts competitors. Can Eddie and Chavo overcome the odds and pull off an upset, or will this be the first of many victories to come for the devastating new tag team of The Animal and The Next Big Thing?
