AWE Episode 5

AWE Episode 5 is an episode of Astonishing Wrestling Enterprise run in WWE 2K18. This is the fifth episode of the first season, and is headlined by the first AWE Tag Team match, pitting Rip Rossi and Ray Reed (Rip-n-Ray) against the West Brothers (Gary & Drake West)

Background
More of the AWE Championship picture has come into view last episode, with Bracket B continuing to clear things up. However, before that, we see the emergence of some new talent, as the debuting Jay Marcanel gets a win against Dion Shepherd. Moving forward into the first Bracket B Semifinal of the evening, "Awesome" Aldo Anthony gets a hard-fought win over Order's Thomas Thompson.

In women's division action, we see the debut of four new additions to the roster, as Andrea Angel, The Phantom Storm, Kathy McKay and Crystal Van Cisley clash in a Fatal Four Way, with Phantom Storm getting the win by pinnning Kathy McKay. This would grant her the first spot in a match to determine the first AWE Women's Champion at Ballroom Blitz. In the final Bracket B match for tonight, the leader of the Age of Gold, Nethaniel King, beat United We Fall's big man, Isaiah Fynch. After the match, King sent a clear message with a post-match beatdown. And in our main event, AWE's first tag team match, Rip-n-Ray (Rip Rossi & Ray Reed) beat Gary and Drake West, with a pre-match assist by United We Fall attacking the West Brothers just before the match started.
