Jamal and Will also retained. This was good for us. We were definitely going to be at Immortality. Next up was the Hardcore Championship. It was my match. The general manager came out. All of Child Labor was banned from ringside. Blitz Brothers were pretty tough. I was able to beat the first half with some easy heel tricks. After that, they got wise to them. I was struggling on the back half. I was totally exhausted by the time I got to the last one. We still had to go through a full match. Using weapons would only get me so far. He was totally fresh. That did not mean I was not going to try to win. My body was orange and red all over. I used every weapon in the arena in order to take him down. After I won, I struggled to get to the back. Things were not looking good for Robbie. When it was time for his match, Oswin and Oscar Whittaker obliterated him. It was technically a Triple Threat so only one could win. Once Robbie was out the way, they fought amongst themselves. Oscar was able to pin his own brother for a title. That was a loss. It was our first title. Robbie was on the verge of tears.
Kicking him out for losing was not going to happen. We all loved Robbie. I had to say something. "Listen to me. You had an 8 month reign as Intercontinental Champion. I know you know people would kill to have a reign as long as yours. You've never ever run from a challenge. You've had so many title defenses. You have gone from 0-19 to almost even. You stood at all of our sides through thick and thin. You're a kid, but you are more of a man than most of the adults here. Don't you dare apologize about what happened. No one can take this reign from you." I said. He was still sad, but was clear he appreciated the sentiment. We had a group hug to spread the love. There was not much more that we could do. The next week, we were in the ring. We wanted justice for Robbie. We demanded that Oscar defend the title against Robbie in a 1 on 1 match. The Whittaker Brothers came out. "Robbie's time is over. It's our time to shine now!" Oscar said. "Looks like you're both scared Robbie can beat you in a fight." Suzie mocked. That got them. They stormed the ring. We destroyed both of them.
Losing sucked. This was us getting some payback. Robbie pinned Oscar. He was champion once again. That was all good. This was not something the general manager could let stand. The first thing he did the next week was vacate the title. "I can't, in good conscious, allow mob rule to reign on my show. That is not what we stand for here. The fans deserve better. Tonight, we will have a match to determine who will defend the title at Immortality." It was very pointed that Robbie was not included. The title was stripped and he could not earn it back. Instead, it was a Fatal 4 Way between the Whittaker Brothers and the 2 members of the Neo Samurai. They were serious about us not getting it back. After the match, we were informed the Intercontinental Championship was not even going to be defended at Immortality. It was not because we on Battlefield had the minority of slots. We had 6 slots for the pay-per-view. All 6 titles could be defended. Instead, Robbie would be in a contract match. If he lost the match, he was going to be fired. We had come to full circle. Robbie was totally shocked.
