UNIFIED TRIPLE CROWN HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE:
CM Punk Vs Umaga
CM Punk thrilled IWF fans all over the world when he won the Robo Rumble match at Corporal Punishment to lift the then vacant Triple Crown Title. However thanks to a special battle royale set up on Warfare by Acting IWF Commissioner Ricky Steamboat he faces an hellacious challenge in his first PPV defence against the Samoan Monster Umaga. Punk has the momentum, but Umaga is one Samoan Spike away from lifting the world title.

THREE STAGES OF HELL MATCH:
Matthew Mercy Vs Triple H
Their war started back in September at Man Of Steel and now, nearly six months down the line it culminates at Shoot Out in one of the most dangerous concepts known to man...THREE STAGES OF HELL!!! The two men will battle it out in up to three speciality matches and there can only be one winner.

FINAL FOUR MATCH:
WINNER FACES TRIPLE CROWN CHAMPION AT MUSCLEMANIA XVII
Elijah Burke Vs Phil Jackson Vs Jay Reso Vs Randy Orton
These four men were the last four men, apart from eventual winner CM Punk, in the Robo Rumble match and IWF Acting Commissioner Ricky Steamboat has set up this unique Final Four match where elimination occurs either by pinfall, submission or over the-top-rope elimination. The winner of this match will head to MuscleMania XVII as challenger for the World Title in the main event.

WORLD TAG TEAM TITLES:
America's Most Wanted Vs Sherlock Burchill & Dr. Lewington
Our intrepid detective duo won the Four Team Challenge at Corporal Punishment and as a result get the opportunity at the World Tag Team titles here.

EUROPEAN TITLE:
Abyss Vs Charles Anderson
Abyss won the title at January's Prime Time and in his first PPV defence must take on his perennial nemesis, and leader of The Anderson Family, Charles Anderson.

"The Phenomenon" Paul Wardle Vs Finlay
Despite being made to be #1 in the Robo Rumble, thanks to his loss to the nefarious tactics of Phil Jackson, Wardle made an impressive display in lasting nearly an hour in the match before being eliminated. As former World Champion Finlay reminded him though, he won nothing as a result. A war of words escalated into a war of fists, and this highly anticipated match is the result.

Matt & Jeff Hardy Vs Mohammed Fakjir & Justice Porter
Mohammed Fakjir's Head Of Security Justice Porter returned to the IWF at Corporal Punishment and already Fakjir seems even more confident at ever. He may have bitten off more than he can chew however by challenging The Hardy Brothers. This could be the surprise of the night.

Crunch Vs Bobby Roode
"The Best Of British Beef" Crunch made a promising debut at Corporal Punishment and Shoot Out represents his potential next step up the ladder as he takes on the Canadian Bobby Roode in what is sure to be a powerful fist-fight.
