Adrenaline (2013)

Adrenaline (2013) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by the Extreme Wrestling Empire (EWE) promotion and presented by Snickers. It took place on May 5th, at the First Niagara Center in Buffalo, New York. The second event within the Adrenaline chronology, it featured on its card five professional wrestling matches, and it was held under the Genesis brand.

The pay-per-view was a great commercial and critical success, although it is considered the least memorable of all three Adrenaline pay-per-views.

This was also the first pay-per-view of the green brand since its return in 2013.

Details
The card featured the pay-per-view debut of the Genesis divas division, in a Triple Threat match between Lita, Candice Michelle, and Veda Scott. It also featured the only pay-per-view match that Blackout participated in during the 2013 EWE run. Having made his return to antagonize the Church of Elijah, Blackout challenged Disciple Jack Evans for a Contract vs. Contract match.

EWE Tag Team Champions, The Miz and William Regal participated in a title defense Triple Threat match against Sabu and Stevie Richards and the Green Bay Assholes. Miz and Regal had won the titles in a Tag Team Championship Battle Royal, and due to obvious differences in character, were proving to be a most dysfunctional tag team heading into the pay-per-view. They won the match after William Regal knocked out The Miz with a punch, and the latter fell on top of an opponent for the pin.

The fresh EWE Television Championship was contested in a Falls Count Anywhere match, as inaugural champion Chael Sonnen defended against Church of Elijah's Rhino.

The main event of the card was a four-way Tables, Ladders & Chairs match for the vacant International Championship. Elijah Dinero, the sinister leader of the Church of Elijah, had run roughshod over Genesis since assembling his stable, whilst William Regal had been placed in the match by Eric Bischoff as a way to placate him after his problems with Tag Team partner The Miz. Shelton Benjamin, one of the original Disciples, had had his problems with the Church of Elijah since their newest incarnation on Genesis, and Derrick Bateman was inserted into the match as a wild-card, after he had made a surprise début on the previous television episode of the green brand's program.

This pay-per-view event went head on against a special episode of XPlosion in the ratings war.
