The first match of the day saw an old conference rivalry flare back up. Optimus Prime and Stephen Hawking, titans of the Digital Voices Conference faced off to see who would represent the league in the Elite Eight. Both competitors rolled into the cage, Hawking in his wheelchair and the Autobot on his tractor-trailer tires. The match didn't last very long - Hawking's attempts to disprove Optimus Prime's existence through his extensive knowledge of the universe were quickly refuted by a swift flick of the interstellar robot's wrist. Thrown across the cage and hurt badly, Hawking geared his wheelchair up to full throttle and aimed right for Optimus Prime's spark thinking, "If I could just open his chest, I could expose his life-force for the fraud that it is!" As valiant as his effort was, Hawking's flight toward glory was halted by a concussion grenade fired from the Autobot's arm cannons. The explosion forced Hawking to retire from his post at the University of Cambridge, not because he had reached the mandatory retirement age of 68, but because he was now situated around the cage in several thousand pieces.

Once again, Guy Fawkes planned his attack against his opponent well in advance. Immediately upon arriving to the arena, Fawkes once again rigged one side of the cage, cleverly disguised as the Houses of Parliament, to explode. When the time came to blow up Sean Connery, Fawkes was surprised and perplexed to find his opponent hiding alongside him on the safe side of the cage. It turns out, Connery wanted to help in this Gunpowder Plot against the British government in order to fight for Scottish independence. When Fawkes' plan failed, Connery berated him endlessly in a verbal tirade the likes of which has never been seen in the Fight of the Day tournament. Hours of inappropriate comments towards women (specifically Fawkes' mother) and towards the English rebel's own sexuality finally drove Fawkes to suicide. Before he could be cruelly executed by the Scot, he jumped off his hiding place and broke his neck, dying on his own terms rather than Connery's!
