Dynasty 1/26/24

(Friday Night Dynasty intro plays. A montage of last week’s show plays: Hans Grayson calls out Jay Jerry Johnson. Mig De Decker defeats Shisui Tategami. KAI-ZEN formulate a plan for King of Elite. BRAE defeats Chiyo Gedo. Cody Maverick has an issue with BRAE and he talks about it, with BRAE passing by and giving a warning. Michael Machina beats LILITH. Rory Slate says she does not waste her time with losers before being confronted by LILITH. Ronan Malosi defeats Rory. The Jaded Hearts give some perspective to Donovan Duke and Mia Santoro, saying their careers will never compare to theirs. The World Heavyweight Championship Number One Contendership participant meet in the ring and a brawl breaks out, resulting in an injury to SOSA Henderson. Drake Armstrong defeats Xander Payne after interference from Ryan Wilson. Joso talks about how much winning the King of Elite tournament means to him. In the main event, the 420’s defeat Myles and Cody Maverick after BRAE attacks Cody with a kendo stick.)

(Friday Night Dynasty comes live on the air, getting a view of the the Antel Arena in Montevideo, Uruguay! We then go inside where the fans are captured and the pyro goes off on stage. Stew-O, Jake Mercer and Flannery McCoy are all on standby.)

Stew-O: WE ARE OFFICIALLY A WEEK AWAY FROM KING OF ELITE! WE GOT A BIG GO-HOME SHOW IN STORE FOR EVERYONE! THANK YOU FOR TUNING IN AND WELCOME TO FRIDAY NIGHT DYNASTY! I’M STEW-O, AND AS ALWAYS, I AM JOINED BY JAKE MERCER AND FLANNERY MCCOY!

Jake Mercer: WOOO! I’M PUMPED, YOU GUYS! THERE’S SO MUCH TO LOOK FORWARD TO – minus a certain fraud that is currently in the ring right now. Maybe even two if we want to count technicalities.

Flannery McCoy: Will you quit it? We have a huge show to look forward to! Such as the return of Cloth Talk with Talib Bari! In fact, how about we take it away and let Talib do all of the honors for us as he sits down with Jake Smith, Bronson Daniels, and the EAW World Heavyweight Champion, Myles!

(The camera then captures a shot of the ring, which is outfitted luxuriously for the one and only Cloth Talk! Talib Bari is on standby, greeting everyone in the arena with a smile and his own custom, blinged-out microphone in hand. Jake Smith, Bronson Daniels and Myles are all already seated. Myles looks the most relaxed out of everyone, whereas tension is present between Jake and Bronson.)

Talib Bari: Yo, yo, yo! You already know what time it is! Big show, big bank, big matches, and a big kick-off before King of Elite! Are y’all excited?!

Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Talib Bari: That’s what I thought. But aye, it’s hard not to be excited with some of the matches we got! We have the Interwire and New Breed Championships being defended. We got Joso putting it on and repping Dynasty in the King of Elite tournament finals. We got one hell of a number one contenders match to see who’ll be next in line for the World Heavyweight Championship. There’s much to look forward to. But of course, I’m here tonight to shine a particular spotlight on the World Heavyweight Championship triple threat match itself. Myles. Bronson Daniels. Jake Smith. There’s been a whole lot going on, a whole lot of passion and dedication being shown by all three men, as all of them believe they have what it takes to walk out of South Africa with the title in their own right. However, only one of them will be able to call themselves a world champion. Only one of them will make their dreams a reality. Only one of them will be able to raise that ten pounds of gold high up into the air and get to have it in their possession.

(Several shots focus on Myles, Bronson and Jake as they all sat in their chairs, understanding the importance of the match and how much it means for them.)

Talib Bari: Now fellas, everyone is curious about your state of mind heading into this match. Especially with you, Myles, you’re back at the top, a spot that many people said was taken away from you. Still, it’s kinda crazy to think about, ‘cause if you were still EAW World Champion, we wouldn’t have you here on Dynasty. But regardless, you back to being at the peak, no pun intended, so what is that like for you?

Myles: Well, you don’t need to exactly be a rocket scientist to figure that one out. It feels great. This spot is rightfully mine. Always has been. To be in this position is something I do not take lightly at all whatsoever. Considering how my prior title reign went, I was left with a bitter taste and an incomplete feeling within me. I knew I needed to be a world champion again and not let such injustices against me define me. At some points, I was bitter, perhaps even a bit rageful, but now? I am content. At peace. Road to Redemption saw a king collect his rightful crown once more, and now that I have it, I don’t plan on losing it anytime soon.

(Jake rolls his eyes, which Myles picks up on.)

Myles: Is there something you wish to say?

Jake Smith: Oh, I do. I think you’re getting way too comfortable in thinking your spot is secured. It’s far from it. You aren’t safe, and the fact you think you can be so assured that your reign won’t end prematurely is hilarious, in all honesty.

Myles: Well, why shouldn’t I feel that way? Especially when it feels like you’re more concerned about your pal over there than me.

(Jake narrows his eyes.)

Jake Smith: No, Myles, I’m not concerned about him or our friendship. I’m concerned about actually being selfish for once in my career and not holding a single damn thing back. I’m concerned about getting to carve out my legacy and ensuring that it sticks.

Myles: Sounds more like insecurity more than anything else.

Jake Smith: As if you’re one to talk. Are we going to forget about how you acted during the lead up to your title match at Pain for Pride?

(Myles pauses for a moment.)

Myles: Well, Jake, I never claimed to be a saint. However, you know better than anyone else how it feels like have an opportunity you worked so hard to obtain be stripped away from you with no rhyme or reason involved. Besides, I’ve vindicated myself. You haven’t. You simply weren’t the better man out of the two of us, so there is no need for you to have an unjustified chip on your shoulder right now.

Jake Smith: But it was fine for you, huh? Whatever, man. You can sit there on your phony high horse and feel like you’re some war lord or whatever corny nickname you want to call yourself, but the fact of the matter is you barely won that championship, and I’m the closest threat that stands in your way.

Bronson Daniels: Is that right?

(Jake turns his head towards Bronson.)

Jake Smith: Yeah, that’s right. After all, I got rid of you, didn’t I?

(Bronson frowns.)

Bronson Daniels: Be that as it may, Jake, you ultimately didn’t have it in you to win at Road to Redemption, you didn’t have it in you to beat me one in one, and I can promise you that if you were to have faced me anytime sooner while I was the champion, you wouldn’t have it in you to defeat me.

Jake Smith: Oh, well look at you getting snippy all of a sudden.

(Bronson scoffs out of disbelief.)

Bronson Daniels: Snippy? Is that what you think? Because if anyone is being snippy here, it’s you. I don’t know where in the hell this attitude from you came from, but you need to kindly bring it back. It’s one thing to be passionate and ready to win, but it’s another to be behaving like this and pretty much say all throughout the past month that I don’t deserve a rematch.

Crowd: :lupe:

Jake Smith: Well, considering I never got my rematch for the AWC, or the fact that rematch often don’t happen here, I think I made a good case for why that shouldn’t happen, especially when I took you out and guaranteed a new world champion. This is very much business between myself and Myles, and it should’ve stayed that way if I’m being honest.

Crowd: :lupe: :lupe:

Bronson Daniels: Well, Jake, I’m here in this match right along with you, and if you have a problem with it, then you are very much welcomed to do something about it–

Talib Bari: Okay, hang on now, everyone chillax.

(Talib dramatically woosahs, causing the fans to laugh. However, none of the men in the ring are in a laughing mood.)

Talib Bari: You know what, Bronson, how about we focus on you for a bit. What is this match like for you?

Bronson Daniels: This match? It’s a chance for me to continue right where I left off. I said it before last time, but I felt like there was so much I could’ve done still with the world heavyweight championship. That title was, no, is an extension of me. It’s my heart, it’s my soul, and I want to reclaim that piece of myself so I can feel whole again. People may say I did enough, especially with the hurdles I had to jump through as champion, but I want more. I need more. I won’t stop until people see me whenever they see that title and nobody else.

Myles: That’s cute Bronson, truly, but I’m afraid that won’t be happening. I’m looking to do the same thing, and as much as I may respect what you have been able to accomplish, I’m not in the camp of having you continue your own little story of triumph at my expense.

Bronson Daniels: And I get that. I do. However, Myles, you underestimate the lengths I’m willing to go through in order to reclaim what is mine.

(Myles raises a brow.)

Myles: Am I?

Bronson Daniels: You’d be surprised.

Myles: Hm. An interesting thought to imagine.

Jake Smith: Riiight. Because you’re that desperate, huh?

Bronson Daniels: Aren’t we all, Jake? Isn’t that why we’re here?

Jake Smith: I guess, but some of us don’t act entitled about it.

Bronson Daniels: :jr: You think I’m being entitled? Since when?

Jake Smith: Ever since you came on out, interrupted me, and wanted your share of the freaking pie, too!

(Jake slams a fist down on the table, shocking everyone. He breaths heavily, but is able to stabilize himself.)

Jake Smith: … I am just tired. Tired of you being handed everything. Tired of you and your stupid little story. Tired of you thinking you are owed anything. Tired of you walking around here like you’re Limmy Monaghan-lite and think you can be some world conqueror in your own right. I’m just tired of it all. You don’t deserve to be here. At all.

(Bronson shakes his head.)

Bronson Daniels: So, that’s how you really feel, huh? Nice to know, partner. I mean, I could say I’m tired of the Jake Smith Experiment continuing to be proven to be a waste of time and how your six months as champion could never compare to the four months I carried this promotion on my back, but I’m not that kind of guy, Jake, especially since I still value and respect our friendship enough to not go for the obvious low-hanging fruits.

(Myles chuckles, shaking his head.)

Myles: This is great. Please, keep at it.

Bronson Daniels: Keep at what?

Myles: Proving me right. Making yourselves look like idiots. Quarreling like children. Please, by all means, carry on.

Bronson Daniels: Now hang on, this isn’t solely about him and I. You have what I want, so if you think I’m not focused on you, then you’re greatly mistaken, Myles.

Myles: Am I? Huh. Could’ve sworn differently.

Jake Smith: Would it kill you not to be an arrogant prick for one second?

Crowd: :lupe: !!!

Myles: Arrogant? Me? Go look in the mirror.

Jake Smith: How about I just break your face through one instead?

Myles: Quick to flip too. Yet, what was it you said about how I acted last year, again?

Jake Smith: You know what? I don’t have time for this–

Stew-O: WHOA! A PUNCH BY JAKE SMITH LANDS ON MYLES! AND MYLES FIRES BACK! THE TWO GET UP AND START TO PUMMEL AT EACH OTHER, AND TALIB IS HIGHTALING OUTTA THERE! JAKE SHOVES MYLES – AND HE ENDS UP GOING INTO BRONSON!

Jake Mercer: AND A PUNCH LANDS ON MYLES! MYLES FIRES OFF ON BRONSON, AND THAT DARN BASTARD KICKS HIM IN THE FACE! HE GOES STUMBLING TOWARDS JAKE SMITH…!

Flannery McCoy: SUPERKICK! MYLES GOES DOWN! IT’S A COMPLETE MESS IN THE RING! BUT JAKE AND BRONSON ARE STANDING! AND THEY LOOK RIGHT AT EACH OTHER–

Stew-O: SUPERKICK FROM JAKE ONTO BRONSON! HE’S DOWN AND OUT! AND A MIXED REACTION POURS FROM THE FANS! JAKE LOOKS AROUND AND SEES THE CHAMPIONSHIP! HE GRABS IT AND RAISES IT UP HIGH, STANDING OVER BRONSON! AND WILL THIS BE A SIGHT REPEATED AT KING OF ELITE?!

Jake Mercer: Well, he’s slightly better than Bronson, so I wouldn’t mind!

(Jake tosses the title down and leaves the ring, walking up the ramp. He runs his hand through his hair. In the ring, Myles and Bronson recover, looking on and glaring before the scene fades to black.)

(An advertisement plays for King of Elite, where Myles defends the EAW World Heavyweight Championship against Bronson Daniels and Jake Smith.)

(The scene fades to the backstage area, as all of the members of KAI-ZEN; Ricky, Mig De Decker, Prince Tohru, and Shinzo Sasaki were seen standing near a bunch of crates in the hallways, as it was clear that they were talking with each other, having normal conversations, whether it was of personal or business. After a while, it felt like they had been done speaking, when Ricky spoke up.)

Ricky: All of that aside, we had spoken upon it directly, to everyone watching around the world just a couple of weeks ago, but I wanted to speak to the two of you personally upon what is to come, to make sure that we are on the same page. Prince, Shinzo. You two know of the opportunities that had been given to you, the championship matches against both Ronan Malosi and Michael Machina at King Of Elite, and I wanted to reassure with the both of you that the goal will indeed stay the same between all three of us.

Prince Tohru: Michael Machina is a threat, if he wasn’t, he wouldn’t have won the New Breed Championship all of those months ago, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t know what he is capable of, or how to cut him to size, because I have been paying close attention, taking note, and making sure that I see what is coming from a mile away. I know what I am getting myself into, and I am confident in my abilities to cut it all down and push any and all doubt away to become champion for the betterment of KAI-ZEN.

Shinzo Sasaki: I’m not worried about Ronan Malosi, as the only threat he poses against me is of the endless tricks that he will end up having up his sleeve once he defends that championship against me next week. Even then, it will not, and cannot change the fact that I understand what I am getting myself into, and each and every single one of those “tricks” will be denied by my greatness, and I will walk out of King Of Elite, much like Tohru with the New Breed Championship, as the new Interwire Champion, for the betterment of KAI-ZEN.

(Both Mig and Ricky would smile hearing this, as Mig would then begin speaking up.)

Mig De Decker: As someone who isn’t positioned as apart of the King Of Elite card, I have no choice but to leave the faith of KAI-ZEN’s future in the hands of the two of you, and that faith is completely balanced with confidence in your abilities, to win those championships, to bring them to KAI-ZEN. It’s all you two.

(Ricky looked pleased with this.)

Ricky: For the two of you to both win your first championships within this company in less than a year of being in this company, is chef’s kiss for KAI-ZEN, and I have no doubt in either of you, as I am both confident in this all working out. It’s extremely laughable how quick people were to assume that we were just going to be yet another failed group in the landscape of EAW, but we quickly rebounded, we cut the fat, we got rid of the useless aspects of the group that had been holding us back, and we have prospered because of it, in more ways than one.

(Everyone smiled, as Ricky continued.)

Ricky: And I have no doubt, and only faith, in the fact that ALL of KAI-ZEN are on the cusp of greatness, that we are on the cusp of domination. Mig will get back on track and he will rebound in the best way possible, and the two of you are going to become champions, and that brazen Michael Machina, and that mindless idiot Ronan Malosi are both bound to lose at King Of Elite-

(Just then, Ricky would be cut off, and KAI-ZEN’s conversation would be abruptly put to an end, as two men would walk up to them; none other than Albert Hitchman, as well as the current EAW Interwire Champion, Ronan Malosi!)

Ronan Malosi: Oh, hey guys! I’m sorry if I’m interrupting right now, but I just wanted to do something, and that was actually, thank you. All of you, for everything that you guys have done for me in recent weeks. Truthfully, I appreciate, and I hope that you’re just as appreciative when it comes to me giving Shinzo this title match for King Of Elite, and sees it as a favour of sorts for everything that you’ve done for me.

(Ricky nodded with a stern look.)

Ricky: That we do. We are grateful for the opportunity that you have given Shinzo at King Of Elite, as we do what benefits us, even if it means taking the title away from you.

(Ronan scoffed at this, before looking right towards Shinzo.)

Ronan Malosi: I just want you to know right now, Shinzo, while I am a very generous Kaiser, at the end of the day, I also seek to win, no matter the cause. But hey, at least you should have no problems brushing shoulders with someone as valuable as myself. I just KNOW it was an opportunity of a lifetime for all of you involved!

(The rest of KAI-ZEN gave Ronan the nastiest of side eyes one could possibly endure, although Shinzo just smirked and nodded his head in response.)

Shinzo Sasaki: I see that very much, Ronan. As gracious as I am for the opportunity at King Of Elite, I do hope you understand that I am not intending to lose, no matter what it is that I have to do in order to beat you in that ring.

Ronan Malosi: Uh huh… whatever you want to say, Shinzo!

(Ronan chucked to himself, motioning Albert as the two would then begin to walk off.)

Prince Tohru: …piece of shit.

(The rest of KAI-ZEN scoffed at the interaction they just had, as it would look like they were about to leave and continue their conversations in a more private… only to be stopped right in their tracks once more. This time around, it was by another opponent in KAI-ZEN’s future, with that being the New Breed Champion himself, Michael Machina.)

Michael Machina: I hope you understand what exactly all of you are getting yourselves into not only next week, but every week that follows as such if you continue to get in my way. I know what you are capable of, Prince, I know who you are, and I know what I am getting myself into next week. I don’t think you do, no matter how much you make yourself believe as such, or you are gaslighted into truly believing that by any other member of KAU-ZEN. At King Of Elite, I will make you feel like a mere peasant.

(And that is all that would end up being said. Michael showed off the New Breed Championship draped over his shoulder, before walking right past KAI-ZEN, with them watching him leave. After a couple of seconds, Ricky simply smirked, taking it all in and scoffing at the ideas being presented.)

Ricky: They really have no clue what’s waiting for them.

(The four would then walk away, as the camera fades.)

Stephie Love: This match is scheduled for…

Crowd: ONE FALL!

(‘Under The Tree’ by SiM hits the speakers as Shisui Tategami makes his way out of the backstage area. He has a serious look on his face as he walks down to the ring.)

Stephie Love: Introducing first, from Kyoto , Japan… Weighing in at 180 lbs… SHISSSSSUUIIII TATEGAAAAAAMMMMMMMIIIIIIIIII!

Flannery McCoy: Last week we saw Shisui make his debut against none other than Mig De Decker in which he lost. But tonight he looks to redeem himself over someone that the aforementioned Elitist brought up as someone he’d have rather faced. Can Tategami walk into this match proving those words wrong?

(‘Geto’s True Identity” by Yoshimasa Terui hits the speakers as Chiyo Gedo makes his way onto the ramp. He looks at the crowd confidently.)

Stephie Love: Introducing second, from Osaka, Japan… weighing in at 170 lbs… CHIYOOOOOO GEDOOOOOOOO!

Jake Mercer: And here we have Chiyo, who won his debut match in EAW but last week got the short end of the stick as BRAE managed to get the better of him. Now of course, he is looking to both rebound from that. But the question remains, who of these two is going to be able to do that tonight?

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Stew-O: We start this match off with both men circling the ring, looking to get the upper hand as they lock up with each other. Chiyo and Shisui manage to stay even and neither really gets the other to move. They are seemingly evenly matched at the moment.

Flannery McCoy: But Gedo quickly turns that around by grabbing Shisui into a side headlock. He’s wrenching the neck of Tategami to cut down stamina right here but his opponent pushes forward. He sends him into the ropes and makes him bounce towards the other side of the ring.

Jake Mercer: Now Tategami runs straight at Gedo and looks to catch him with something but he just runs into a headlock takeover by Chiyo! Incredible awareness by the Faceless Terminator! He’s got him locked on the ground now! He’s squeezing the neck again looking to keep him slow and his breathing low.

Stew-O: Now look at this right here! Tategami with the headscissors to get out of it but Gedo swiftly kips up to get out of the headscissors to catch Shisui with another standing side headlock as he gets up to keep putting pressure on that stamina tank of Tategami.

Flannery McCoy: Shisui has to find another way out and he does as he lifts him up in the air onto his shoulder and tossed him forward to get him off of him. And as Chiyo lands on his feet and moves back in, a knee to the gut!

Jake Mercer: Gedo holds his gut as Shisui waits for him to stand upright again so he can throw a massive chop to the chest! Chiyo stumbles back as Tategami moves back in with a massive forearm to the face, sending him into the corner!

Stew-O: He starts throwing chops as the referee starts counting! But wait! Right at 4, Chiyo turns it around and starts punching away at a cornered Shisui! And he climbs on the turnbuckles to start punching downwards toward the face of his opponent!

Flannery McCoy: But look at this! Tategami grabs him by the legs to get him on his shoulders! He starts speeding towards the other side of the ring to try and send him into the corner with a buckle bomb! But no, Chiyo somehow pops over the head of Shisui and lands on his feet and he grabs his opponent for a Tiger Suplex! Bridging pin after!

OOOOONNNNEEEEEE!
TTTTWWWWWOOOOO!

Jake Mercer: But a kick out by Tategami! But Chiyo is quick on the draw as he gets back up to drag Tategami to his feet. He looks to Irish Whip him into the corner but no! Shisui stops him from doing so by slapping his wrist!

Stewo: Chiyo holds his hand after it was struck by his opponent! Tategami uses this to kick him in the gut before grabbing the back of his head to send him towards the middle of the ring. And as Gedo comes by… A massive DISCUS CLOTHESLINE!

Flannery McCoy: Shisui almost decapitates Chiyo! But the Faceless Terminator is showing durability by slowly crawling towards the ropes as Tategami gets up himself. He grabs him and hooks his head to plant him with a Brainbuster— NOPE! Somehow Gedo manages to land behind Tategami and plants him with a Snap Dragon Suplex! Bridging Pin!

OOOOONNNNEEEEEE!
TTTTWWWWWOOOOO!

Jake Mercer: Kick out again by Shisui Tategami! Chiyo looks kind of frustrated that the offense is not working it seems like. But he has to get back into this so he locks in a Guillotine Choke! Can he make Chiyo pass out?

Stewo: That seems unlikely as the Banished Devil starts to lift him off the ground! He starts to hook the leg of the Faceless Terminator before lifting him into the air and planting him back down with a Brainbusterrrr! And he floats over into the cover!

OOOOONNNNEEEEEE!
TTTTWWWWWOOOOO!

Flannery McCoy: But Gedo also shows resiliency by kicking out right at 2! Tategami goes to the corner as he awaits for Chiyo to make his move. Gedo start to crawl to the opposite corner and drags himself to his feet… But as he turns around ‘Getsuga Tenshou!’ Shotgun Dropkick—

Jake Mercer: But no! Chiyo moves out of the way at the very last second and waits for Shisui tk get back to his feet! And as he does and turns around, he walks right into a massive Uranage slam by the Faceless Terminator! And now the cover right after!

OOOOONNNNEEEEEE!
TTTTWWWWWOOOOO!

Stewo: But another kick out by Tategami, Chiyo however is making his way to the corner however, just stalking his opponent! And as Shisui starts to get up, he runs at him and catches him with a massive ‘Heat Seeker!’ Spinning Back Elbow!

Flannery McCoy: But look at Gedo! He is making his way back to the corner! He is looking to end this once and for all! He’s got him in the center of that ring as he starts to get up… Rolling Thunder as he gets back up to leap into that cutter for THE FINISHING ‘UNEXPECTED WHIPLASH—

Jake Mercer: WHAT!!!! HOW???? TATEGAMI…. RIGHT AS CHIYO GETS UP FROM THE ROLLING THUNDER HE CATCHES HIM WITH THAT KINSHASA KNEE STRIKE! ‘TRUE DEATH’ TO THE FACE OF CHIYO GEDO! INTO THE COVER!

OOOOONNNNEEEEEE!
TTTTWWWWWOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEE!

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Stephie Love: Here is your winner… Shisui Tategaaaaaaammmmmiiiiiiiii!

Stewo: String showing from both of these men tonight! But that one knockout blow can change everything at a moment’s notice. That’s what happened here. An opening that was seen by Tategami that ended it all.

Flannery McCoy: I must say I am impressed with Chiyo Gedo here. He managed to have an answer for so much of Shisui’s offense but when he tried to pose the question to Tategami, Shisui entered with the final blow.

(Shisui Tategami gets his hand raised by the referee as Shiyo Gedo rolls out of the ring and holds his jaw from the impact. The scene closes with the Banished Devil standing tall.)

(Epic music plays in the background as footage from 2023’s House of Glass is shown. Xander Payne can be seen making his entrance, then Ryan Wilson. The bell rings, and both men start things off trading blows. Highlights of the Glass Crypt match are shown, both competitors having put each other through hell, but particular emphasis is drawn toward the finish.)

Stew-O: OH MY GOD THROUGH THE TABLE! XANDER PAYNE HAS HIT THE DIVING HEADBUTT OFF THE CRANE ONTO RYAN WILSON WHO WAS ON THE TABLE BUT AT WHAT COST AS CLEARLY BOTH MEN ARE OUT OF IT, THEY ARE BLEEDING OUT, AND THEIR ENERGY IS PROBABLY STARTING TO RUN OUT! WHO’S GOING TO GET BACK UP FIRST BECAUSE HOW I SEE THINGS; WHOEVER STANDS UP FIRST IS PROBABLY OUR WINNER HERE TONIGHT!

Fans: OLÉ! OLÉ! OLÉ! OLÉ! OLÉ!

Fans: OLÉ! OLÉ! OLÉ! OLÉ! OLÉ!

Fans: OLÉ! OLÉ! OLÉ! OLÉ! OLÉ!

Flannery McCoy: I- I just can’t believe what we witnessed here just now, but clearly Ryan Wilson has the support of the fans as they try to rile him up so he can get what many would consider one of the biggest wins in his career, but clearly Xander Payne is recuperating from that Diving Headbutt as he starts crawling towards the crane’s base, but so is Ryan Wilson as both men slowly pick themselves up using the crane’s base for assistance! Ryan Wilson is able to get on his feet first as he grabs Xander Payne and throws him into the Glass Crypt… but Xander puts his hands between him and the Glass Crypt at the last minute! Ryan sees an opportunity to finally down the man that betrayed him tonight as he goes for “The Game Over Stunner”…

Jake Mercer: DON’T GET AHEAD OF YOURSELF AS XANDER PAYNE POPS RYAN WILSON UP AND CONNECTS WITH THE “LAST SEDATION” POWERBOMB, BUT NO, RYAN WILSON JUMPS OVER XANDER PAYNE AS HE HOOKS BOTH HIS ARMS AS HE ROLLS HIM UP! RYAN QUICKLY TRANSITIONS THE ROLL UP INTO A SHARPSHOOTER AS HE’S LOOKING TO MAKE XANDER PAYNE PASS OUT AND THROW HIM INTO THE GLASS CRYPT… BUT WAIT, I HAVE SEEN THIS ONE BEFORE… “NO REGARDS 2022” WHERE BOTH THESE MEN FACED AND ON CUE JUST LIKE BEFORE, XANDER WAS ABLE TO GET OUT PUSHING RYAN OFF HIM AS XANDER QUICKLY GETS UP AND POPS THE RUNNING RYAN BACK UP FOR THE “LAST SEDATION”!

Stew-O: DON’T GET AHEAD OF YOURSELF HERE JAKE AS RYAN HAS LEARNED SINCE “NO REGARDS 2022” AS HE JUMPS OVER XANDER PAYNE ONE MORE TIME, TURNS HIM AROUND AND THROWS HIM INTO THE CRYPT, BUT XANDER IS NOT FULLY OUT JUST YET AS HE PUTS HIS ARMS IN THE WAY BEFORE TURNING AROUND JUST TO BE GREETED WITH “THE GAME OVER STUNNER” AS IT CONNECTS AND SENDS XANDER INTO THE GLASS CRYPT AS RYAN WILSON QUICKLY HEADS TO THE CRANE AND TURNS IT ON AS THE BOX FILLED WITH THOUSANDS OF GLASS SHARDS IS DUMPED INTO THE GLASS CRYPT!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stephie Love: Here is your winner… “DYNASTY’S WORKHORSE”… RYAAAAAAAAAAAAN WILSOOOOOOOOON!!!

(The camera then cuts to Ryan Wilson sitting near the crane, his face covered in blood, but a smile on his face regardless, victorious over Xander Payne. Text that reads “1-0” appears over the screen. Next, the camera cuts to Ryan Wilson attempting to move on, but getting powerbombed through a table backstage by Xander Payne, who yelled-)

Xander Payne: (off-mic) THIS ISN’T OVER UNTIL I SAY IT IS OVER! YOU HEAR ME?! YOU DON’T GET A SAY IN THIS CONCLUSION, I DO!

(The graphic for Noche De Violencia is shown, and similar to earlier, highlights of the match follow. Again, particularly emphasis being drawn toward the ending witb Xander Payne reigning supreme over Ryan Wilson.)

Gavin Kirkland: Ryan grabs Xander by the waist AND GETS HIM UP INTO THE AIR AND DROPS HIM WITH THE BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX! XANDER LANDS ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD!

Persephone: Not much up there on Xander to hurt. See what I mean, he is already trying to get back to his feet.

Stew-O: Ryan is keeping his eyes on Xander as he is getting back to his feet. Ryan is getting his knee ready for the knee strike to set up for “Superman Punch 2.0”. Xander is up AND HERE COME RYAN-

Gavin Kirkland: RYAN WENT FOR THE KNEE STRIKE AND XANDER BLOCKED IT! XANDER CAUGHT THE KNEE AND RYAN IS IN A MESS OF TROUBLE! XANDER MANAGES TO HOIST RYAN IN THE AIR BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP AND DRIVING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT!

Stew-O: THAT WAS “LAST SEDATION”! WHAT A POWERBOMB BY XANDER PAYNE AS THE IMPACT COMPLETELY JARS RYAN’S INSIDES AS XANDER PAYNE STACKS RYAN UP FOR THE COVER!

ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!

THHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEE!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… XANDER PAYNE!

(Footage of Ryan sitting up in disappointment as Xander stands at the top of the ramp is shown. While Xander soaks in the negative reaction from fans, text appears over the screen that reads “1-1.” Now, Xander Payne is seen trying to move on from Ryan Wilson, but this time, Wilson prevents that from happening, interfering in Xander’s main event match with Michael Machina.)

Flannery McCoy: RYAN WILSON IS HERE AT RINGSIDE AND RYAN JUST PULLED XANDER OUT OF THE RING AND HIS JUST PUNCHING THE HOLY HELL OUTTA XANDER PAYNE!

Jake Mercer: WHAT THE HELL IS WITH HIM? RYAN IS SO BITTER ABOUT LOSING TO XANDER THAT HE IS JUST BEATING THE CRAP OUT OF XANDER! WHAT JEALOUSY!

Stew-O: RYAN WILSON IS MAKING AN IMPACT IN ANY WAY HE CAN AND HE IS JUST THROWING THOSE LEFTS AND RIGHTS BEFORE WHIPPING XANDER RIGHT INTO THE STEEL STEPS!

Jake Mercer: RYAN WILSON HAS A DEATHWISH RIGHT NOW ATTACKING XANDER PAYNE AS HE SMASHES XANDER’S FACE AGAINST THE STEEL STEPS BEFORE FINALLY ROLLING XANDER BACK INTO THE RING! THE REFEREE IS BACK ON THE MATCH AFTER GETTING THE CHAIR OUT OF THE RING! HOW CONVENIENT!

Flannery McCoy: RYAN SAID TO WATCH HIM AND WE ARE ALL WATCHING HIM NOW! XANDER IS STARTING TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET AFTER THE BEATDOWN FROM HIS FORMER TAG TEAM PARTNER AS HE TURNS AROUND–

Stew-O: “BULLET FROM HELL”! WHAT A SPEAR FROM MICHAEL MACHINA AND XANDER MIGHT HAVE JUST BEEN TAKEN OUT OF HIS BOOTS WITH THE FORCE OF THAT SPEAR! WILL MACHINA STEAL THE MATCH THANKS TO RYAN JOSEPH WILSON? XANDER IS DOWN AND MACHINA FALLS INTO THE COVER!

ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHRREEEEEEEE!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stephie Love: Here is your winner… THE EAW NEW BREED CHAMPION MICHAEL MACHINA!

(The camera cuts to Ryan Wilson explaining his actions in the ring on Dynasty.)

Ryan Wilson: My niece Sophie Wilson told me all that I need to hear. Why would I let such an evil man run free after beating me? She would know just as well as me, considering that she was there when Xander Payne broke into my house and terrorized her and my mother. That’s not the actions of a winner, a man with pride and dignity to his name, no, that’s the actions of a coward. She told me what I needed to do and what I needed to do is get revenge on him. I am going to end this saga once and for all, and the only way that I can possibly see myself doing that is by getting one more match with Xander Payne in the middle of this ring.

(Xander’s rebuttal is seen from the following week.)

Xander Payne: You know what, if this is really what you want, Ryan, then it is exactly what you are going to get. In South Africa, King of Elite, I am going to beat you one more time, and once it is all said and done, once it is all through… I promise regardless of the result even though we all know what it is going to end up being that we will never see eachother again.

(Next, the match graphic for King of Elite appears. Ryan Wilson versus Xander Payne in what should be the tiebreaker, the final encounter between these two. Ryan Wilson is seen in a confessional, talking to the camera.)

Ryan Wilson: Who would’ve thought that we’d wind up here? At King of Elite, I face Xander Payne for the final time. Ya know, I once considered this man a brother.
(The camera briefly shows footage of Ryan Wilson and Xander Payne united together as DOMINION, but soon cuts back to Ryan Wilson afterwards.)

Ryan Wilson: But after what he’s done to me? Not anymore.

(Footage is shown of Xander Payne’s despicable actions toward Ryan Wilson, from his betrayal, to his attacks, to taking things too far, and invading his house. Ryan has determination in his eyes, and stares directly into the camera when saying this, almost talking to Xander directly.)

Ryan Wilson: Xander, you’ve made this personal, and at King of Elite, I’m not just looking to beat you, I’m looking to hurt you. To hurt you for everything you have put me through, and everything you put my family through. Following Noche De Violencia, I made a promise to my niece that I wouldn’t stop until you get exactly what you deserve. King of Elite, I fulfill that promise.

(The camera then cuts to Xander Payne in a confessional, looking over this whole thing. He sighs before addressing the camera.)

Xander Payne: Sure, at one point, I took Ryan Wilson underneath my wing, but that was a mistake. As proven when he failed me time after time again.

(Highlights of the team’s failures are shown, including where Ryan got pinned by Myles at Reckless Wiring, and Wilson accidentally superkicking Xander at Territorial Invasion when Bronson moved got out of the way. The camera then cuts back to Xander Payne.)

Xander Payne: I took a gamble with DOMINION, and it didn’t pay off. Unfortunately, Ryan Wilson is a loser. Not I, not anyone can change that. But you know what’s worse than a loser? An anchor, and that’s what he’s been to my career. I mean, cmon, I’m an EAW Hall of Famer. I could’ve won another World Championship, but no, I’m stuck wasting my time with Ryan Wilson. When it’s not a tag team, it’s us as opponents. But following King of Elite, that’s no more. This is our LAST encounter. After this, I’m wiping my hands with that failed experiment, and moving onto bigger and better things.

(Xander cockily smirks to the camera, completely confident in his chances. Then it cuts back to Ryan Wilson.)

Ryan Wilson: Xander isn’t the first to try, and turn his back on me, blame me for his shortcomings. I’ve dealt with this exact same thing before with our current Interwire Champion, Ronan Malosi. How did rivalry end by the way? That’s right, I beat him in Chained Fury to close the book on that feud. So, King of Elite is no different. I’ll beat Xander Payne, and close the book on our rivalry as well.

(The camera cuts back to Xander Payne, his interest having been piqued.)

Xander Payne: Wait, did Ryan mention Chained Fury? He’s undefeated in that match, isn’t he? Granted, his opponent was Ronan Malosi. How about seeing how he fairs against me? Ryan, at King of Elite, I’ll beat you at your own game. I’ll beat you in Chained Fury.

(Xander Payne maniacally laughs to the camera as it fades to elsewhere, the video package coming to end with the announcement of a last minute change to the match. Now, Ryan and Xander will be competing inside Chained Fury!)

(An advertisement plays for King of Elite, where Milli Banks, Ms. Extreme and Chris Elite compete to become the next number one contender for the EAW World Heavyweight Championship.)

Stephie Love: The following match is scheduled for ONE FALL!

Crowd: ONE FALL!

(“Monsters” by Currents begins to play throughout the arena as we fade back to ringside once more. A smirk across her face and a glare of confidence in her eyes. Making her way down to the ring.)

Stephie Love: Introducing first, from Chicago, Illinois…ROOORRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYY SLLAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Rory gets into her corner, and “What Makes You A Man” by The Ninth Wave replaces her theme song. as LILITH slowly steps out and comes standing at the center of the stage. She looks up to Rory Slate before making her way into the ring.)

Stephie Love: Introducing the challenger, from Brasov, Romania…LILITH!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Flannery McCoy: The match is on its way and these two women are looking for a bit of momentum in the match, so you know they are going to go out. Both of these women stare each other down, wanting to see who is brave enough to make the first move. It appears that would be Rory, going in for what seems like a collar and elbow tie-up— BUT LILITH COUNTERS IT! Showing off her quick thinking gets Rory to the ground with a hold of that arm! She is quick to get a submission going in this match! A Fujiwara can be dangerous in any part of this match!

Stew-O: It’s rare to see a submission be used this early in a match but it’s a great way of picking your way at your opponent. Even if she doesn’t tap, taking out that arm will prove detrimental in this match! You can see Slate trying to slip and slide out of it but LILITH is good at controlling her! Keeping her where she wants her. This is bad for Slate if she wants to push damage away from her arm! She just might have to—

Jake Mercer: SLATE ROLLS OUT OF THE HOLD! Spoke too soon Stew, never count out Rory. She is back on her feet, grabbing that arm! Unfortunately for her, it seems like the hold was just enough to cause some damage but hopefully none that would cause her to lose the ability to use her hands. LILITH going for a clothesline but Rory ducks it, bouncing off the ropes back towards LILITH— JUMPS OVER HER! Look at Slate go! LILITH quickly realizing what just happened turns to face Rory—

Flannery McCoy: KICK TO THE GUT BY RORY! Looks like she is setting up for— A CANADIAN DESTROYER! Rory using this opportunity to pin LILITH!

ONE!

KICKOUT!

Stew-O: LILITH kicks out! Way too early to think that would do the trick but I am sure a couple more big moves like that will help keep LILITH’s shoulder down for good. Rory is getting LILITH— WOAH! LILITH OUT OF NOWHERE! USING HER LEGS TO GET RORY DOWN ON THE GROUND! SHE GETS HER IN ANOTHER SUBMISSION! A KNEEBAR!

Jake Mercer: The armbar and now the kneebar, she is trying her best to eliminate any mobility in her vital limbs! Can’t win a match if you can’t move your arm or legs! She got the lock on tight, the ropes were way out of reach! ALL SHE CAN DO IS ELBOW AT THE THIGH OF LILITH! STABBING INTO LILITH THIGHT UNTIL SHE FINALLY LET’S GO! Rory stumbles but at least she is out of the hold. She has to get back into the match, going to strike LILITH with a forearm—

Flannery McCoy: BUT LILITH SLIPS UNDER THE STRIKE, GETTING BEHIND HER TO HIT— A SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! Dropping her quickly on the back of her neck! LILITH has shown her skill in this match, her technical prowess has to be admired. Two submissions and an impressive suplex in such a quick span! might be a mainstay here on Showdown with moves like this. LILITH going over to a down Rory now, what is she looking for—

Stew-O: ANOTHER SUBMISSION! Locking her legs in her arms and getting her up for an INVERTED CLOVERLEAF! She has already targeted the leg with the kneebar! She doesn’t seem to be done! By the end of this match, I don’t think Rory will be able to use her legs again! Look at Rory, trying to scratch her claw to any form of escape! This isn’t looking good for Rory. Wait a minute! Slate swings her body back down between LILITH’s LEGS— she TRIPS her up! LILITH landed on her face! Breaking the hold! Rory doing a great job outsmarting LILITH’s aggressive offense! trying to quickly recover—

Jake Mercer: BUT RORY USING HER AGILITY TO LEAP INTO THE AIR! LOCKING IN A HEAD SCISSORS, DROPPING HER DOWN TO THE MAT! Rory’s legs crushed down on the neck of LILITH, giving her a taste of her own medicine. Despite the damage done to her legs, she is still going to use them to her fullest capacity! Look at LILITH, her face is turning red! She just might tap! NO, NO, WAIT LOOK AT LILITH’S LEG!

Flannery McCoy: HER FOOT IS UNDER THE ROPES! Just barely getting her foot under there. The referee is trying to get Rory off! Both LILITH and Rory seem surprised, looked like a stroke of luck by LILITH . Rory gets back to her feet and picks LILITH back up to her feet, looking for another move! Getting her back, LIFTING UP, and PLANTING HER DOWN WITH A BELLY TO BACK FACEBUSTER! CATCHING SOME HEIGHT THERE! Don’t let Rory’s stature fool you, she could break you in half if she wanted to. Here we go, Rory going for the pin! After that move, it might be close!

ONE!

TWO!!

THREEEE—

Stew-O: ANOTHER KICK OUT! IT WAS CLOSE BUT LILITH WAS JUST ABLE TO GET HER SHOULDER UP! Rory looks a bit upset but the fact is that in a match like this, you have to be willing to go the distance. Your opponent might be resilient but they always have a limit. Rory just needs to find that limit and put LILITH down for good. Which is easier said than done but it is doable.

Jake Mercer: Rory doesn’t seem to want to keep this match going, picking her up into a TORTURE RACK! Possibly looking for a CLEAN SLATE— WAIT A MINUTE! LILITH SLIPS HER LEGS AND ARMS INTO RORY’S PITS! REVERSING INTO A PIN! LILITH COULD STEAL THE WIN!

ONE!

TWO!!

THREEEEE!!!

Flannery McCoy: NO! LILITH ALMOST HAD IT! She ain’t going to ponder about it, grabbing Rory Slate! PUTTING HER IN THE TORTURE RACK, LOOKING FOR HER FINISHER “SERNITY PAINTED DEATH”! THIS COULD BE ALL SHE— NO, RORY WITH THE REVERSAL OH HER OWN, HOOKING THE ARMS FOR THE—

Stew-O: GTFO!!!! NAILING LILITH’S HEAD INTO THE MAT! GOING FOR THE PIN!

ONE!

TWO!!

THREE!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… ROOORRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYY SLLAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stew-O: Amazing back-and-forth matchup between these two, it came down to the wire but this could have been anyone’s match.

Jake Mercer: LILITH came out giving it her all! Just mere seconds away from victory, there is no shame in that and I know that next time — LILITH will be even better than before. But congratulations to Rory Slate for getting the job done!

(A shot of LILITH’s face showed her dazed eyes, cutting back to Rory who was on the top rope celebrating her hard-earned victory. The scene fades with a smirk by Rory to the camera.)

(Friday Night Dynasty’s video feed faded to a new scene, the streets of New York City. Drake Armstrong could be seen wearing a bright blue three-piece suit, complemented by polished brown dress shoes, as well as his classic Rolex and Armstrong Dynasty Ring accessories. His butler walks at his right-hand side; more notably, Drake is flanked by several bodyguards keeping their trained eyes on the surroundings. They walked along the street; Drake had a wry smile as he began to speak.)

Drake Armstrong: All things considered, I do find it mildly amusing that Cy Henderson and I hail from the same state. Of course, that means next to nothing considering that New York is home to one of America’s wealthiest towns, my hometown of Scarsdale, as well as these rubbish-filled streets. I mean, my god, just look at all the trash around these parts – and I’m not merely referring to the literal garbage!

(The crew walks by some tents in an alleyway. Drake turns his nose up at the sight before making a comment to his butler.)

Drake Armstrong: Circle back around here and call the cops on these peasants, will you? Those tents are particularly wretched eyesores even amidst a city of eyesores. I cannot wait to return to Scarsdale; the only reason I ever look forward to gracing this city with my distinguished presence is visiting the New York Stock Exchange. I suppose in a way, this is the perfect city for Cy Henderson to hail from; there is undeniable value to him, just as the city has the Financial District… but it is accompanied with such FILTH, just as Cyclone’s history is.

(He sees a small group passing by and he gestures towards them.)

Drake Armstrong: You there, peasants; felicitations for acquiring my attention, first and foremost. I am endeavoring to gather some opinions from the vulgar riffraff regarding a sporting event coming up; do any of you happen to watch Elite Answers Wrestling?

Pedestrian 1: What the fuck did he just call us-

Pedestrian 2: Shut up man, those guys have guns!

Pedestrian 3: Actually yeah, I watch EAW!

Pedestrian 4: Yeah, same here- oh shit, that’s Drake Armstrong!

Drake Armstrong: Goodness, a minuscule flash of relevancy among these seedy, lowbrow commoners! Tell me, being from the same city, what are your thoughts on Cy Henderson?

Pedestrian 3: Cyclone?! That was my GOAT growing up!

Drake Armstrong: Tsk, is that so? So you think absolutely nothing of his controversial past?

Pedestrian 4: Don’t care, I love Cy! He’s so real and so humble even after getting to the top, whatever he did in the past is in the past.

Pedestrian 3: I’m so happy he’s back, it was my favorite return of 2023! I’m hoping he wins against-

Drake Armstrong: Oh, do silence yourselves! I’ve heard enough of you peasants speaking your filthy opinions. Get over your incessant nostalgia, the Future is now.

Pedestrian 4: What the hell? I was just-

Pedestrian 2: Let’s get out of here, those guys are looking scarier by the second…

(The group hurriedly went across the road to the other side of the street. Drake continued walking after re-applying some ridiculously expensive cologne to rid himself of the stench of peasants.)

Drake Armstrong: Pitiable ingrates. Ah…

(Drake looks aside as he sees some stray dogs in an alleyway, scurrying around.)

Drake Armstrong: Aha, they seem to resemble Cyclone. Hmm… you know, that brings something to mind; much like stray dogs get caught in cages as they look for food, I feel as though my situation is somewhat similar. It feels like I’m trapped in a cage with you, but I’ll finally break free. I’ve been extracting all the value that I can while I’ve been here, but that font is starting to run out, save for one thing… a complete, undisputable victory. That’s the last thing I look to take before I break through this cage and break through the stratosphere of EAW to the heights where I BELONG.

(One of the dogs starts running towards Drake, but he harshly kicks it away before it can do anything.)

Drake Armstrong: Hmph. So I’m thinking, why not two birds with one stone? Or more appropriately, two dogs with one kick? Why not escape the cage and get the undisputed victory simultaneously? This is inevitably going to lead to a match, after all, so I want this to be a fight with no excuses. Cy Henderson, I want to take you on at King of Elite in none other than a CAGE MATCH! And mark my words, I will brutalize you to the point where you can’t do ANYTHING to stop me from climbing up the cage and ascending to my DESTINY!

(Drake gave a grandiose gesture towards the camera as he allowed his challenge to settle, before the video feed faded to black.)

(A commercial plays for King of Elite.)

Stephie Love: This match is scheduled for…

Crowd: ONE FALL!

(“Zettai Zetsumei” by Cö Shu Nie hits the speakers as AIRI Evergarden makes her way out from the backstage area. She gazes out across the crowd on the ramp with a mysterious expression before continuing onwards to the ring.)

Stephie Love: Introducing first… Hailing from Shiba, Japan… Weighing in at 170 pounds… The INFINITY… AIIIIRIIIIII EVERGARDEEEEEENNN!

Stew-O: After taking a loss to Shinzo, AIRI Evergarden has reflected and is looking to turn things around with a victory over Shinzo’s fellow KAI-ZEN member, Mig De Decker!
Flannery McCoy: I don’t think anyone doubts that she has what it takes; AIRI has shown the EAW Universe what a smart tactician she can be!

(“Out of the Black” by Royal Blood​ replaced AIRI’s theme music as Mig De Decker walked out onto the stage to a chorus of boos; he struck a pose for the crowd before marching down to the ring where his opponent awaited.)

Stephie Love: And her opponent… Hailing from Brussels, Belgium… Weighing in at 187 pounds… HE IS THE BELGIAN WRESTLING MACHINE… MIIIIIIIIIIIIIG DEEEEEEEEEEEEE DECKERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Jake Mercer: But it’s hard to argue with Mig’s potential; even though he wasn’t able to get to the finals of King of Elite, he was able to come back from his loss with a victory over the debuting Shisui!

Stew-O: He’s going to be out here representing KAI-ZEN, and if you remember the talk he had with Ricky last week, he’s not looking to stop his momentum even without a title match at King of Elite. With him hovering around his teammates’ matches, there’s no telling what he’ll cause; it’s clear he still has his head in the game and looks to get another win for KAI-ZEN tonight against Evergarden!

Flannery McCoy: It’s an interesting clash of styles here; AIRI combines her tactically-oriented mind with her agility, while Mig prides himself on his honed technical wrestling! I wonder whose approach is going to get the victory tonight?

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Stew-O: And the match is underway! Both elitists get out of their corners, with AIRI moving quicker on her feet; they’re circling each other around the center of the ring and both looking for an opening!

Jake Mercer: It’ll be tough to find an opening on Mig De Decker; if you get too close to him, he might lock you up before you know what’s happening!

Flannery McCoy: Oh, and AIRI looks to try to maneuver herself behind him for a waist lock, only for Mig to catch her before she can and pulls her into a collar-and-elbow tie-up! This is Mig’s bread and butter, as he quickly starts maneuvering his way through transitionary holds before arriving behind AIRI with a hammerlock!

Stew-O: He bashes the back of her head with an elbow strike before releasing her arm and grabbing her by the waist; it looks like he followed her lead on that as he looks for a German suplex! But wait, AIRI was able to flip through it and get behind him!

Jake Mercer: Mig spins around trying to face her, but AIRI does a spin of her own in the opposite direction to smash him in the face with a spinning back fist! What a perfectly executed maneuver, and it seems to have knocked him silly!

Stew-O: Now she Irish whips him over to a nearby corner, where she begins lighting up his chest with some high-speed knife edge chops! It seems she’s trying to wear his torso down with these cornered strikes!

Flannery McCoy: She grabs a hold of his wrist and yanks him out of the corner, just to stop his momentum and DROP him with an STO! AIRI’s on fire here as she runs up the ropes, demonstrating stupendous agility, and makes it up to the top turnbuckle! What’s she planning here?!

Jake Mercer: We’re about to find out! AIRI takes to the skies, flying high and stretching all her limbs out before plummeting down towards Mig De Decker with a frog splash; he’s looking defenseless, I don’t think he’s going to be able to-

Stew-O: OH! HE GOT THE KNEES UP! AIRI crashes down onto a rough landing; just as she collapses off of Mig, he immediately latches onto her and locks her right leg with a kneebar! AIRI may be a wrestling tactician, but Mig certainly knows how to use his technical wrestling to his advantage!

Jake Mercer: You said it; AIRI’s style relies on agility, so cutting her base down will definitely hinder that! Mig starts wrenching the knee as hard as possible, but they were close enough to the corner that AIRI was able to flail her arm over to the bottom rope and grab it!

Flannery McCoy: But Mig isn’t letting go, come on! The referee’s counting… and he only lets her go at the count of four, allowing the hold to stay in for longer than it should have!

Jake Mercer: That’s called playing smart, Flannery, and I’m sure AIRI would have done the same had she been in his boots! AIRI uses the rope to pull herself to the apron, maybe looking to get some distance to recuperate. Meanwhile, Mig is getting up and holding his chest; it looks like those chops are still stinging!

Stew-O: AIRI gets up on the apron, using the ropes for leverage, but Mig is right there to catch her with a stiff forearm over the rope! AIRI starts to lose her balance, although Mig doesn’t let her fall to ringside as he grabs her by the head and drags her through the middle and top ropes to get back in the ring!

Jake Mercer: He starts lifting her up for a vertical suplex- BUT NO! AIRI MANEUVERED HERSELF MID-LIFT TO TWIST AND FALL, BRINGING MIG DOWN WITH HER WITH A JAWBREAKER!

Stew-O: The jawbreaker wasn’t enough to knock Mig down to the mat, but it certainly left him STUNNED as AIRI gets back to her feet- oh, and without a moment to waste, she finishes the job and knocks him down with a SUPERKICK!

Flannery McCoy: She starts running again, but this time she sprints to the ropes instead of the corner- WOW! SHE JUST LEAPS ONTO THE ROPES AND BOUNCES OFF THEM, SHE LANDS A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT AND CRASHES DOWN ONTO MIG’S MIDSECTION!
Jake Mercer: She had no knees to sour her landing there, Flannery, and it looks like she’s trying to get the pin off of it!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Stew-O: BUT NO, MIG KICKS OUT! People have questioned his credibility, but Mig shows every step of the way that he is EXACTLY as good as he says he is! The Infinity is looking frustrated at Mig’s resilience as she gives a few supplementary stomps to the gut of Mig before yanking him back to his feet, not keen on giving him even a moment to recuperate from the damage he’s sustained thus far!

Flannery McCoy: She gives him a swinging back elbow to the gut, causing him to heave over with his hands clutching his abdominal section; it looks like she’s looking to go further, though, as she hooks both of his arms! What’s she going for here?!

Jake Mercer: I’ll tell you what she’s going for! She calls this the Eternal Shrill Threnody! She lifts him by the arms and PLANTS him by the face and gut into the mat of the squared circle! The lifting spinning sitout double underhook facebuster lands without a hitch, causing a big reaction from the crowd at the sight of such a spectacular maneuver!

Stew-O: She flips him back into a supinated position before hooking his leg again, looking for another pin attempt!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Flannery McCoy: BUT NO! MIG KICKS OUT YET AGAIN! WHAT’S IT GOING TO TAKE FOR AIRI TO KEEP HIM DOWN FOR GOOD?!

Jake Mercer: It looks like the cogs are turning in her brain as she eyes the corner; she grabs Mig by both legs and drags him over there and lines him up right by the corner! She ascends back to the top, slower this time than the last due to the accumulated exhaustion from participating in such a high-octane match, and aims at Mig! Is she going to do what I think she’s going for?!

Stew-O: SHE GOES FOR IT! THE FEAR OF GOD! THE SPLIT LEGGED CORKSCREW MOONSAULT! SHE LAUNCHES HERSELF DOWN TOWARDS MIG WITH HIGH VELOCITY- NO, HE GRABS THE BOTTOM ROPE AND SLIDES HIMSELF AWAY AND ONTO THE APRON JUST IN TIME, JUST LIKE AIRI DID BEFORE!

Jake Mercer: AIRI COMES CRASHING DOWN FAR HARDER THAN SHE DID LAST TIME, THAT COULD NOT HAVE FELT GOOD! MIG QUICKLY ROLLS BACK UNDER THE ROPE TO GET BACK TO THE RING, AND ROLLS OVER ALONG WITH AIRI! HE LIFTS HER BACK UP TO HER FEET!

Flannery McCoy: OH MY GOD! JUST AS SHE GETS UP, STILL IN A DAZE, HE BASHES HER HEAD IN WITH THE MKO KICK! SHE STARTS TO FALL TOWARDS HIM, ONLY FOR HIM TO CATCH HER AND LOCK IN A DOUBLE UNDERHOOK!

Jake Mercer: HE’S DOING THIS FOR KAI-ZEN! JUST AFTER THE MKO KICK HITS, HE FOLLOWS UP WITH THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT! THE DOUBLE UNDERHOOK PILEDRIVER CAUSES AIRI TO CRASH HEAD-FIRST INTO THE MAT! HE HOOKS BOTH OF HER LEGS!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Stephie Love: YOUR WINNER… MIIIIIIIIIIIG! DEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! DECKERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Jake Mercer: And there you have it! Another victory under KAI-ZEN’s belt, just as he set out to do! He gets his hand raised in victory by the referee as he flaunts to the cameras!

Flannery McCoy: Nobody can take anything away from AIRI, though; it says a lot that Mig immediately went for the Butterfly Effect even after the MKO kick, her body is as tough as her mind!

(The video feed slowly fades to black as AIRI eventually comes to, rubbing her head in a daze while Mig continues his victory celebration.)

(Friday Night Dynasty fades back into the arena as the sounds of ‘Sakayume’ by King Gnu are heard playing through the speakers. The crowd gives a mixed reaction primarily dominated by boos as Jay Jerry Johnson is seen making his way out. He has a straight look on his face as he scans around at the fans in attendance before from there beginning to make his way down the ramp and toward the ring.)

Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… JAY JERRY JOHNSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stew-O: Well we saw last week the aftermath of the King of Elite semifinals, where Hans Grayson called out Jay to explain himself and why he cost him the match. Jay felt like he had a point to prove and was going to do it at Hans’ expense considering that he beat Drake and he couldn’t, he wanted to right the wrong. Hans tried to back away for Jay’s own good, but Jay didn’t take that, and he ended up attacking him.

Jake Mercer: A cowardly move at that! He’s a vile human being!

Flannery McCoy: Well as Hans said last week I understand where he’s coming from, there’s a level of frustration and he wanted to prove himself against Hans and Hans tried to deny him of that. Of course, he’s going to end up taking that a certain way which is why he’s out here tonight with perhaps some thoughts on his mind.

(Jay makes his way up the steel steps and onto the apron, entering into the ring as he makes his way over and takes a microphone from the ringside area. ‘Sakayume’ begins to come to a close and from there, he begins to speak into the microphone.)

Jay Jerry Johnson: Last week, I tried to understand it from Hans’ point of view. I tried to reason with him and give myself a reason to walk away. For a minute, I began to understand where he was coming from, with him having apparently been in my shoes, my actions were rash and conducted with an aggressive mindset. But the more I thought about it, the more that I continued to try and reason with him, the more I understood that what he was saying was solely what he wanted to hear. This was by no means a way to try and rationalize with me and see where I was coming from, it was a way to paint himself in the right and make me look like the villain. As much as my actions make it seem otherwise, never will I call myself the villain. I simply am a man who was doing what he felt was necessary in order to succeed, and in that case, it came at Hans’ expense. I came into it expecting him to be mad, to try and point the finger of accusation toward me for what I had done, but never did I expect for him to try and give me pity, have we really stooped to that low? The last thing that I need from Hans Grayson is pity, and that is what he tried to give me last week by offering to walk away and allow us to go our separate ways, after all of that, does he really expect that out of me?

Jay Jerry Johnson: Let’s take a moment to go back to my explanation toward him, it was that I was a bitter man. I felt like all my work leading into Road To Redemption and 2024 was completely soiled after being eliminated in the first round of the King of Elite tournament, that just did not sit right with me. I knew that I was better than Jay Jerry Johnson, and better yet, I knew I had what it took to be in the position that competitors like Joso, PJ Hendrx, and Alex Myers are in right now where they are situated in a comfortable spot in the King of Elite finals, that was the level of competitor that I’m at. But with that loss I found myself struggling to compensate for that claims, and wondering what it really took in order to get the point across. Then it hit me, and I understood that what I needed to do was remind everyone. Remind everyone exactly who I am what I am about, and why I am through playing games, and the only thing I have set out to do for the rest of the Season is show everyone exactly what I have known all along. That was what I had hoped to do, and by costing someone like Hans, a man who had beaten Drake Armstrong on his way to the semifinals of the bracket, I had hoped that by facing him and beating him I could redeem myself for what had happened. All of that, and what I got in response… was pity.

(Jay bows his head down and shakes his head in disappointment before looking back up and continuing to speak.)

Jay Jerry Johnson: In case it was not made apparent with my actions, I found myself frustrated with that. I did not take it all too kindly and even now I still find myself uneasy. To know that someone of Hans’ caliber would be foolish enough just does not sit right with me, and I hope that beating him down the way that I did would send the message that I am past that point. He’s right that there was a time when I had a measure of respect for him, and especially on the way to the end of the year we found ourselves seeing more eye-to-eye in our beliefs and our motivations. But now all of that is thrown out of the window because of the disrespect that he’s given me, and that is by no means his fault, that is his. He wants to try and paint me as the villain? Like I’m the person that has done something wrong? Well with everything in mind, the blame should be solely shifted on him for everything, he is the villain. One way or another he and I are going to face, whether that be at King of Elite or someplace else. I will see him across the ring from me and when I do I will personally make sure that I teach him a lesson and remind him that the last person that he wants to disrespect or underestimate is myself-

(Suddenly, the crowd roars.)

Stew-O: LOOK WHO JUST SLID IN THE RING! JAY TURNS AROUND AND HE’S TAKEN RIGHT DOWN TO THE GROUND BY HANS GRAYSON OUT OF NOWHERE! THE FIREHEART HAS ARRIVED AND WE KNEW THAT HE WAS NOT GOING TO TAKE JAY AND WHAT HE SAID LIGHTLY AFTER WHAT HAD HAPPENED LAST WEEK! HE’S LAYING THE SMACKDOWN ON JAY RIGHT NOW, RAINING DOWN PUNCHES AS JAY DID NOT AT ALL EXPECT THIS TO HAPPEN! HE’S DOING EVERYTHING THAT HE CAN RIGHT NOW TO FIGHT OUT OF THIS BUT IT’S NO USE! THE FURY OF HANS GRAYSON IS TOO MUCH FOR HIM TO HANDLE RIGHT NOW!

Flannery McCoy: JAY SHOVES HANS AWAY AND SCRAMBLES UP TO HIS FEET, HE RUSHES TOWARD HANS- BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING, HANS LEAPS UP INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH THE ‘FLAMING PUNCH’! SUPERMAN PUNCH TO THE FACE CONNECTS AND LEAVES JAY STAGGERING, BARELY MANAGING TO KEEP HIMSELF UPWARD!

Jake Mercer: HANS THEN RUSHES AT JAY ONE MORE TIME- BUT JAY MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND SENDS HIM TO THE ROPES- BUT HANS LEAPS OVER THE TOP ROPE AND ONTO THE APRON…

Stew-O: FLIPPING HIMSELF OVER AND CONNECTING WITH THE ‘BURNING SHOT LARIAT’! JAY IS COMPLETELY KNOCKED OUT AND HANS GIVES HIM A RECEIPT FOR WHAT’S GONE DOWN THESE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS!

(Hans takes a moment to catch his breath before crouching down and picking up the microphone that is next to an unconscious Jay. He then paces around, beginning to speak from there as the crowd shows their support.)

Hans Grayson: I warned you, Jay. This wasn’t me trying to give you pity, I was giving you a chance to back away while you had the chance, but now, there’s no going back. Now, you’re going to have to face me at my full wrath, and trust me when I say that is going to be a lot more than you bargained for. At KING OF ELITE, it is going to be HANS GRAYSON VERSUS JAY JERRY JOHNSON, and there is NOTHING that you can do that will help you escape the fate that you have chosen for yourself. I’ll see you there.

(Hans slams the microphone down to the ground as ‘The Leaving Song Pt. II’ by AFI is heard playing through the speakers. He spreads his arms out as the crowd shows their support, him standing over the body of Jay who is still completely out. It is the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty from there begins to completely fade out.)

(A commercial plays for King of Elite, where Hans Grayson takes on Jay Jerry Johnson.)

(The camera returns to the ring where Stephie Love is standing ready to begin the introductions for the next match.)

Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, this next contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!

Crowd: ONE FALL!

(‘Lord Knows’ by Drake (feat. Rick Ross) starts playing as Cody Maverick enters the arena to loud boos from the crowd. He is showing off his very confident… or arrogant… attitude as he heads to the ring.)

Stephie Love: Introducing first! From Las Vegas, Nevada. Weighing 235 pounds! Here is “THE SIN CITY SUPERSTAR” CODY MAVERICK!

Stew-O: Here comes Cody Maverick to the ring for tag team action and even though he is looking very egotistical as he heads to the ring, he isn’t in the best of moods after what happened last week.

Jake Mercer: Yeah. He got screwed out of a tag team victory because he was clocked in the head with a kendo stick. Look at who his tag team partner is. It’s going to be a long night for Cody.

(Cody enters the ring and takes his corner as his music is quickly replaced by “Duel of The Fates (Epic Version Remastered V2)” by Samuel Kim as BRAE enters the arena to a negative reaction from the crowd as well. He doesn’t care about that as he makes his way to the ring.)

Stephie Love: Introducing his tag team partner! Residing in Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland! Weighing 215 pounds! Here is “THE IMPERIAL SYMPHONY” BRAE!

Jake Mercer: And this is the guy who screwed everything up. BRAE came down to the ring last week and cost Cody and Myles their match against those babies the 420s.

Flannery McCoy: BRAE and Cody have had some heated words and last week was no doubt a precursor of what their future holds. The question is can these two control their tempers long enough to win this match. Especially with opponents like theirs.

(BRAE enters the ring and shoots Cody a look as he takes the corner and ‘My Way’ by Limp Bizkit starts playingand the fans are cheering as Ryan Joseph Wilson makes his way to the ring.)

Stephie Love: Introducing their opponents! First! From Montréal, Québec, Canada. Weighing in at 220 pounds… RYAN… JOSEEEEEEEEEPH WILSOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!

Flannery McCoy: Here comes the opposition and this team is an implosion waiting to happen. Last week, Ryan was at ringside for the Drake Armstrong and Xander Payne match and he made his presence felt.

Stew-O: Some would say that turnabout is fair play with what Xander did to Ryan two weeks ago, but it remains to be seen if they can work together one more time for the sake of victory.

(He high-fives fans as he moves closer to ringside, takes the occasional selfie with members of the crowd before moving past one of the cameramen and saying to the camera ‘Watch Me!’ and enters the ring before moving to a corner. His music is quickly replaced by “It Follows” by Cane Hill and Xander Payne enters the arena and heads to the ring.)

Stephie Love: Introducing his tag team partner! From Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Weighing in at 255 pounds! Here is XANDER PAYNE!

Flannery McCoy: Here comes Xander Payne and is not thrilled to be teaming with the man who screwed him out of a victory last week… even though he did the same thing the week before that.

Stew-O: The former Dominion team members meet at King of Elite, but they are a tag team tonight. Which team will win this week’s game of “Can They Coexist”? We are about to find out.

(Xander enters the ring and glares at Ryan as his entrance music fades off. Tension is in the air between both teams as the referee checks all of the competitors before calling for the bell.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stew-O: Here we go! Tag team action underway and neither team looks very thrilled right now with their tag team partners. It looks like Cody Maverick will be starting out for his team–

Jake Mercer: XANDER JUST SHOVED RYAN TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE RING! I guess Xander has volunteered Ryan to start this match for his team. There’s going to be a fight somewhere. I just know it.

Flannery McCoy: Ryan doesn’t look happy about that, but he steps up and we have a lock up. Cody has a small size advantage over Ryan and he is trying to muscle Ryan over to the ropes.

Stew-O: BUT RYAN IS HOLDING HIS GROUND! For the last few months, he’s been telling the world to “Watch him” and we are as we have a stalemate–

Flannery McCoy: CODY WITH A BOOT TO THE GUT TO GET HIMSELF THE ADVANTAGE! Now Cody is throwing those forearms right in the face of the former New Breed Champion as he backs Ryan up to the ropes.

Jake Mercer: Cody whips Ryan to the ropes. Ryan comes back AND CODY CLOBBERS HIM WITH A CLOTHESLINE! Ryan is down and Cody hits the ropes to give himself momentum–

Stew-O: CODY LOOKING FOR THE JUMPING ELBOW DROP, BUT NOBODY WAS HOME AS RYAN ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! Cody is holding his elbow as he gets back to his feet–

Jake Mercer: RYAN WILSON WITH A HIP TOSS TAKING CODY DOWN! How in the hell is this ginger weirdo getting the advantage over somebody like Cody Maverick?

Flannery McCoy: Regardless, Cody is back to his feet and Ryan picks him up AND DELIVERS AN INVERTED ATOMIC DROP! NOT A GOOD LANDING FOR CODY! Ryan follows it up with a clothesline taking Cody down.

Stew-O: Cody once again is back up and FOLLOWS UP WITH A REVERSE ELBOW CATCHING CODY SQUARE IN THE FACE SENDING HIM STUMBLING BACK TOWARDS THE ROPES–

(TAG!)

Jake Mercer: And into his own corner as BRAE tags himself in. Cody is holding his nose, but we can see in his eyes that he’s not happy. I guess it’s BRAE’s turn to show what he can do.

Flannery McCoy: BRAE and Ryan meet face to face in the middle of the ring AS BRAE GOES FOR A RIGHT HAND THAT GETS BLOCKED BY RYAN! Ryan comes back with a right hand of his own.

Stew-O: BRAE now being staggered by Ryan Wilson as Ryan tries to send BRAE for the ride, BUT BRAE REVERSES! Ryan hits the ropes before ducking the clothesline attempt by BRAE!

Flannery McCoy: Ryan hits the ropes on the other side BEFORE JUMPING OFF THE SECOND ROPE AND HITTING A SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY TAKING BRAE DOWN!

Jake Mercer: Now Ryan is dragging BRAE to his corner and is looking to tag out of the match, BUT XANDER IS HAVING NONE OF IT! HE DOESN’T WANNA TAG IN!

Ryan Joseph Wilson: (off-mic) WHAT THE HELL? TAG IN!

Xander Payne: (off-mic) You told us all to watch you. I’m watching you. Show us what you got.

Stew-O: Xander is being sarcastic to Ryan and refusing to tag in, but this fight gives BRAE enough time to recover AND GET FREE! BRAE with a dropkick THAT SENDS RYAN CRASHING INTO XANDER!

Jake Mercer: Xander falls to the floor and this idiot stumbles back into BRAE WHO GRABS HIM AND CATCHES RYAN IN THE O’CONNER ROLL BRAE WITH THE BRIDGE AS THE SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEE!

TWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!

Flannery McCoy: RYAN KICKS OUT AT TWO! Looks like the fighting is going to start up right now and that miscue almost cost the former Dominion team to lose the match.

Stew-O: BRAE is back to his feet a little quicker than Ryan by grabbing Ryan by the head AND TAKING HIM UP AND OVER WITH THE SNAP SUPLEX! Ryan is back down AND BRAE FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A LEG DROP ACROSS THE THROAT!

Jake Mercer: Poor Ryan, and I mean that with all the sarcasm in the world, has been pretty much thrown to the wolves in this match and he is getting the crap beat out of him.

Flannery McCoy: Sarcasm doesn’t become you, Jake. Now BRAE has Ryan back to his feet and whips him to the ropes. Ryan comes back AND HE IS TURNED INSIDE OUT INTO THE TILT A WHIRL BACKBREAKER!

Stew-O: This could be a better situation if Ryan’s partner would tag in, but we see that’s not happening right now as BRAE is just beating the crap out of Ryan. Ryan is doing whatever he can to just survive right now.

Flannery McCoy: BRAE brings Ryan back to his feet once again and whips him into the corner. Sadly for Ryan, he was whipped into BRAE’s corner. BRAE and Cody glare at each other for a moment before BRAE reaches out for the tag—

(TAG!)

Jake Mercer: Cody accepts the tag! See, Cody is a professional. He can work with this brute BRAE even though BRAE screwed him over last week. Cody and BRAE switch places as Cody stands on the second rope AND JUST STARTS THROWING PUNCHES!

Crowd: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN!

Stew-O: For once, the corner ten punches is actually successful as Cody jumps down and Ryan comes staggering out of the corner into the waiting arms of Cody Maverick–

Jake Mercer: WHO JUST PICKS HIM UP AND TOSSES HIM OVERHEAD WITH A BELLY TO BELLY THROW! GREAT POWER BY CODY MAVERICK!

Flannery McCoy: Ryan was thrown halfway across the ring right there and as Ryan was trying to get to his feet CODY COMES BACK WITH A DROPKICK RIGHT TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD!

Stew-O: Look at Xander! He is just having a hell of a time watching his tag partner get the crap beat out of him. He could really care less about this match. He would much rather see his opponent get beaten up before King of Elite to make his job easier.

Jake Mercer: I don’t blame him. Let it be an easy night for him next week. Like how it’s easy for Cody right now as Ryan is down and Cody hits the ropes to get momentum BEFORE LEAVING HIS FEET AND HITTING THE JUMPING ELBOW DROP! IT CONNECTS THIS TIME!

Flannery McCoy: Elbow goes right into the heart of Ryan Wilson and I think that Cody is just trying to show off now. He’s bringing Ryan back to his feet and is talking a little bit of trash–

Stew-O: BUT RYAN CAUGHT HIM COMPLETELY OFF GUARD BY GRABBING THE BACK OF HIS NECK AND BRINGING HIM DOWN INTO THE INSIDE CRADLE! RYAN TRYING TO STEAL IT HERE!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEE–

Flannery McCoy: CODY GOT THE SHOULDER UP AT TWO! Boy, that was close. Cody would have been pissed if he lost two weeks in a row by being caught off guard.

Jake Mercer: He wasn’t caught off guard. He’s lulling Ryan into a false sense of security by letting Ryan roll him up.

Stew-O: That must be it, especially after Cody took Ryan down with that clothesline. Either way, Cody is still in control of Ryan Wilson. Cody once again brings Ryan up to his feet to no doubt cause more pain.

Jake Mercer: He grabs Ryan AND TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A SIDE RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Ryan’s head cracks against the mat. That’s what everyone should be expecting to see from Cody Maverick, the future of this business.

Flannery McCoy: I hate to say this, but Ryan really needs to find a way to get the fresher Xander Payne in this match. Good, bad, or ugly. There is no way that Ryan can win this match alone.

Stew-O: Cody is in his element right now with how vicious he can be as he once again picks Ryan up and whips him to the ropes. Ryan comes back AND CODY CATCHES HIM AND DROPS HIM WITH A SIDEWALK SLAM!

Jake Mercer: This has been great to watch. It’s a massacre and I love it! Ryan is down and Cody hits the ropes to look for another Jumping Elbow Drop–

Flannery McCoy: RYAN ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY AND CODY ELBOWS THE MAT AGAIN! He might be talented, but why in the hell would he try another elbow? Third time is not the charm.

Stew-O: But it does open up a window for Ryan to get free and hopefully get out of this match. Cody is back up and HE TRIES FOR THE ELBOW AGAIN–

Flannery McCoy: What a shock! He missed. I think there’s something loose in Cody’s head for even thinking of attempting it again.

Jake Mercer: Kind of like Ronan Malosi. Stick with something you like until you have to. But Ryan is back to his feet as he grabs Cody AND TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A VERTICAL SUPLEX!

Stew-O: Cody is back up to his feet and he turns back into Ryan WHO TAKES HIM DOWN AGAIN WITH A BACK BODY DROP! RYAN IS BUILDING UP SOME MOMENTUM HERE!

Jake Mercer: Who in the hell hit the reset button? Where is he finding this energy?

Flannery McCoy: He’s lucky he found it because he needed it. Cody is back up to his feet AND HE RUNS RIGHT INTO THE UPPERCUT QUEBECOIS! EUROPEAN UPPERCUT RIGHT INTO HIS JAW!

Stew-O: That shock knocks him back into the ropes. But he rebounds back into Ryan WHO FINDS THE ENERGY TO PICK HIM UP AND DROP HIM WITH “LA BOMBE BLEU”!

Jake Mercer: Blue Thunder Bomb finds its mark as Cody is down and Ryan seemingly just runs out of energy as he falls into the cover and hooks the leg!

ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!

THHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!

Flannery McCoy: CODY BARELY GETS THE SHOULDER UP AT TWO! Another close near fall for Ryan as both men are down and barely moving. The referee checks on both competitors and has no choice but to start a count.

Stew-O: This would be a let down if this match ends via double countout, but both men are starting to stir. Both men are in the center of the ring so neither one has the advantage to try and reach their partner first.

Flannery McCoy: Cody and Ryan are crawling to their corners as we see that even though Cody and BRAE don’t like each other, BRAE is reaching out for the tag! Of course, Xander is not.

Jake Mercer: Why should he risk getting hurt before his match next week? Not every match has to be a victory, you know. He’s just cutting his losses.

Stew-O: Either way Ryan is still crawling to his corner. I mean what does he have to lose? Both men are getting closer to their corners and Cody is the first man to reach his corner–

(TAG!)

Jake Mercer: Cody tags in that match wrecker BRAE. BRAE makes a mad dash towards Ryan Wilson who makes a leap towards Xander Payne–

(TAG!)

Flannery McCoy: Ryan reached out and slapped that bulbous gut of Xander and the referee is calling it a legal tag. Looks like Xander is officially in this match for the first time. About time lardo earned his pay tonight.

Stew-O: Ryan has rolled to the floor and Xander is just reading him the riot act right now. How dare his tag team partner tag him into the match. What an asshole Ryan Wilson is right now

Jake Mercer: I couldn’t have said it better myself, BUT LOOK AT BRAE! BRAE IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION BY GRABBING XANDER BY THE NECK AND BRINGING HIM IN THE RING THE HARD WAY!

Flannery McCoy: Xander lands hard on the mat and might have broken a board or two under the ring and BRAE is just beating the ever loving crap out of Xander.

Stew-O: BRAE brings Xander back to his feet and HE CHOPS XANDER RIGHT ACROSS THE CHEST! Be careful! You might bounce back and hit yourself.

Flannery McCoy: Jokes aside, it seems like every chop that BRAE is doing is just making Xander even angrier. BRAE might wanna cool it on the chops.

Jake Mercer: Too late! Xander has just grabbed hold of BRAE and he just scoops him up AND SWINGS HIM INTO THE EXPLODER SUPLEX! OH GAWD! BRAE LOOKED LIKE HE WAS DROPPED RIGHT ON HIS HEAD!

Stew-O: BRAE is trying to crawl into the corner, but Xander grabs him again AND SUPLEXES HIM RIGHT INTO THE CORNER! BRAE CRASHES INTO THE TURNBUCKLES AND ALMOST DROPS ON HIS HEAD WHEN HE HITS THE MAT!

Jake Mercer: At least you guys have finally laid off the fat jokes. How rude can you guys be? I kinda feel a little bad for BRAE, but I think part of this is karma for what he did last week.

Flannery McCoy: It might be, but right now Xander is getting BRAE back to his feet AS BRAE ATTEMPTS A DISCUS CLOTHESLINE BUT XANDER BLOCKS IT AND COUNTERS WITH “O.D.”

Stew-O: DAMN! BRAE JUST GOT AN OVERDOSE PALM STRIKE TO THE NOSE! BRAE JUST FALLS TO HIS KNEES, BUT XANDER GRABS HIM BY THE WRIST AND PULLS HIM UP INTO THE SAITO SUPLEX!

Jake Mercer: “DAWNBREAKER” by Xander Payne and BRAE is on the mat in a heap and barely moving. Xander drags BRAE over to the center of the ring and goes for the cover!

ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWOOO!

THHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!

Flannery McCoy: CODY CAME IN AND BROKE UP THE COVER! That was a shock right there as I wasn’t expecting that and neither way Xander. Xander holds the back of his head where Cody struck him and he is back to his feet.

Stew-O: Cody is up to AND FIRES OFF SOME RIGHT HANDS TO XANDER’S JAW! Cody tries his luck again with a clothesline, BUT XANDER GRABS HIS ARM AND SPINS HIM AROUND!

Flannery McCoy: Xander with the waistlock as he lifts up Cody AND PLANTS HIM WITH THE RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX! GOOD GAWD HE WAS DROPPED RIGHT ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD!

Jake Mercer: That might have been enough to take Cody completely out of the equation as Cody rolls out of the ring as Ryan Wilson climbs back onto the apron. Poor guy getting treated so roughly like that. Completely unwarranted.

Stew-O: Well, when you sneak in the ring and break up pins, then you better be ready to take your lumps just like Cody just did. Now he’s paid the price and seemingly took himself out of the ring.

Jake Mercer: Either way, now BRAE is in a whole mess of trouble with Xander locking his sights on him. BRAE better be careful or this match will be over for him.

Flannery McCoy: BRAE is trying to get back to his feet which could lead to his impending doom.

Stew-O: BRAE is up AND XANDER GRABS HIM! XANDER HAS HOLD OF BRAE AND XANDER HOISTS HIM UP IN THE AIR! HE’S GOTTA BE LOOKING FOR “THE LAST SEDATION”!

Jake Mercer: No doubt about it. If Xander hits this powerbomb, it’s over! HERE HE GOES FOR “LAST SEDATION”–

Flannery McCoy: WHAT THE HELL? WHAT IS XANDER DOING? HE WAS GOING FOR “LAST SEDATION” BUT XANDER JUST DROPPED BRAE? WHAT IS GOING ON?

Stew-O: XANDER HAD THE MATCH WON, BUT HE JUST STOPPED! NOW HE’S GOING OVER TO HIS CORNER AND TAGGING IN RYAN!

(TAG!)

Jake Mercer: This is great and weird! Xander not only tagged in Ryan Wilson, he’s just left the ring and he’s leaving. He is just done with this match and he is heading right up the entrance ramp.

Ryan Joseph Wilson: (off-mic) WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, YOU SON OF A BITCH! WE HAVE A MATCH!

Flannery McCoy: Ryan’s in the ring and he is pissed off that his “partner” left him high and dry. Now Ryan is left to finish this match alone.

Jake Mercer: All this bickering hasn’t done him any favors because BRAE is back to his feet and Ryan has no idea as he turns around–

Stew-O: INTO THE “MORRIGAN”! WHAT A BROGUE KICK BY BRAE AND RYAN WILSON IS OUT! IT’S ALL ACADEMIC AT THIS POINT AS BRAE ROLL RYAN OVER AND HOOKS THE LEG!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOO!

THHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEE!

(DING! DING! DING!)

( “Duel of The Fates (Epic Version Remastered V2)” starts playing again as BRAE rolls off of Ryan. BRAE takes a second to catch his breath as Stephie Love begins announcing the final decision.)

Stephie Love: Here are your winners… THE TEAM OF CODY MAVERICK AND BRAE!

Stew-O: Well what a surprise. Xander Payne thinking about himself completely screws over Ryan in this great tag team match. I think it was, sadly, just writing on the wall from the get go.

Flannery McCoy: I sadly agree. Both teams really didn’t like each other, but the first team to implode was the former Dominion tag team.

(BRAE is back to his feet and Cody has rolled back into the ring as the referee raises their arms in victory. Neither man looked too pleased at each other, but they managed to get the job done as they leave the ring.)

Jake Mercer: What were you expecting to happen? Sunshine and rainbows? That was never going to happen from either team. It was just that Cody and BRAE were able to put aside their differences and that’s what won them the match.

Flannery McCoy: I hate to agree with you, but I do. Xander didn’t even try in this match and that was the downfall of his team. But you gotta give Ryan credit. He fought as hard as he could but the disadvantage was just too much to overcome. Look at Xander at the top of the entrance ramp looking like he’s about to bust that giant gut of his with laughter.

Stew-O: Xander got the one up on Ryan tonight, but don’t expect Ryan to take this lightly. They are going to beat the hell out of each other at King of Elite. For tonight, congratulations again to the young team of Cody Maverick and BRAE for the victory.

(The final shot has Cody and BRAE separately heading up the entrance ramp before cutting to Xander watching amused before cutting to Ryan who is glaring at Xander ready to rip his head off as the camera cuts elsewhere.)

(An advertisement plays for King of Elite, where Xander Payne and Ryan Wilson will face off in the returning Chained Fury match.)

(The scene would fade in, as we would be given an overview to a jam packed crowd full of University students amongst a University that is in the Uruguay area in South America, in the same area that Friday Night Dynasty is being held. They were all in one area, like an auditorium of sorts, as the Rector of the University would be seen on the stage with a microphone set up and everything, looking to finish some preparations for what could only be described as a pep rally for the night, what the pep rally was for was unknown at the time, but that was able to be revealed very soon.)

University Rector: Thank you everyone for joining me here tonight. As you all know, I called this pep rally, and with a big reason to do so. There may not be a sports event on the horizon, or a game, or whatever it may be, but I had two very special guests who wanted to come and give us a little presentation about something that is near and dear to their hearts. So before I bring them out to let them begin to speak to you all tonight, a show of hands… How many of you here are fans of professional wrestling? Or getting into professional wrestling?

(As the question being asked echoes throughout the auditorium, almost immediately, hundreds of hands could be seen going up high into the air. This response ignites a smile onto the face of the Rector, who was looking for that reception.)

University Rector: Great great, that is EXACTLY what I was looking to hear, which brings me to my next question, which I assume the answer is going to be given the exact same reception, if not an even louder one. With that knowledge out there… Now, who is a fan of the Elite Answers Wrestling company? :mjgrin:

(What he expected would become a reality. The reception was louder than before, showing a bunch of EAW fans within the Uruguay University. He would then continue.)

University Rector: Amazing. With that being said, please help me welcome my guests onto the stage, they are the CURRENT EAW Unified Tag Team Champions, the tag team of Kassidy Heart and Sienna Jade; Jaded Hearts!!!

(The University students cheered loudly in response, as Kassidy Heart and Sienna Jade would both walk out from the back and onto the stage, with a presentation being put up on the big screen in the process of doing so. Kassidy had her supervising team with her, as well as Dasha Rybáriková, in order to keep her in check. Sienna had the projector remote in hand as the two would walk over to the microphone, beginning to speak.)

Sienna Jade: Thank you all for that very warm reception, at least we are appreciated HERE.

Kassidy Heart: I expected louder.

(Kassidy’s eyes would then dart towards the sea of students in the crowd, they clearly took that as their cue, and would cheer even louder than before. This earns a smile from Kassidy.)

Kassidy Heart: Better.

Sienna Jade: Now, as two of the greatest Elitists of all time, point blank period (and that is just fact), we expect to be given your full attention for this presentation that we have brought to all of you here tonight. As you all know, there is an upcoming event that is very historic and holds a lot of value in the legacy of Elite Answers Wrestling, and that is King Of Elite. With the King Of Elite tournaments every year, and the occasional, shitty Empress Of Elite tournaments that NEVER end up going well, but we won’t talk about that. And on such a marquee event like King Of Elite, we will be walking into the show for our SECOND defense as the Unified Tag Team Champions.

Kassidy Heart: And defending those tag team championships by any means necessary is something that we have always held as the utmost of importance, and that won’t change by King Of Elite week. This presentation tonight, is a presentation of comparison. If you all pay attention to the product on a week-to-week basis, I’m sure you all know about the match that we will be competing in, and who exactly we are defending those titles against. I won’t waste my breath and your time even mentioning their names, so we are going to get right into the presentation, and make sure we drill it into the minds of most of, if not all of you, because I do see some of the doubt in your eyes.

(There was a long pause, Kassidy wasn’t again overseeing the University students with a more cold and stern glare, almost putting fear into them with it. She would then quickly break out of it and smile, looking over at Sienna and giving her the go ahead, as Sienna would then use the remote to click to the first part of the presentation, showing the graphic for their King Of Elite title defense against the team of Donovan Duke and Mia Santoro.)

Sienna Jade: Like what had already been mentioned, King Of Elite will mark our second defense of the Unified Tag Team Championships ever since we won them all the way back at Wicked Games all of those months ago, and in comparison to the one before this, the competition seems to be more fierce, it seems to have more to actually be excited for in a way. I mean after all, I will take anything that I can get, as long as it is not the same, old, rehashed, embarrassing bullshit that Valerie Hellstorm tried pulling against us.

Kassidy Heart: Ugh, don’t remind me.

Sienna Jade: And don’t get me started on Roberto De La Rosa…

(The two both laugh at each other. The students were dead silent.)

Students: 🧍

Kassidy Heart: Laugh.

Students: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sienna Jade: See, Kassidy?! They love us!

Kassidy Heart: They better love us, because the Jaded Hearts are forever. Forever; something that our opponents at King Of Elite aren’t going to be. Forever; something that La Familia definitely isn’t going to be. Forever; is an immortalizing statement that pushes us beyond the realm of death to outlast it through our legacies and the everlasting impact that we make on not only this company, but this whole entire world. But, I will mention the time to at least acknowledge the fact that the two of them have been successful in some way, shape, or form.

(Sienna clicks onto the next slide, which was dedicated to Donovan Duke, his list of accomplishments and greatest achievements being shown.)

Sienna Jade: I mean, just take a look at Donovan Duke! He is a former holder of the 24/7 contract, a former National Elite Champion; the longest reigning National Elite Champion for that matter, breaking the record just last year at this same exact event. It seems he has a pretty good track record going for him at King Of Elite. He has beaten some big names in EAW, including even Mr. DEDEDE himself!-

Kassidy Heart:

Sienna Jade: :lupe: Best I don’t mention it?

Kassidy Heart: I haven’t forgiven him, and I haven’t forgotten about the things that he said, and had done at that time. All of those accomplishments are great and all, but he also knows how to fuck with the wrong people, and sometimes, fucking with the wrong people get you in a world of trouble, and a world of hurt, which is exactly what will be inflicted onto him at King Of Elite.

Sienna Jade: But, let’s not forget his new little girlfriend, of course! Let’s take a look at what she has accomplished here in EAW!

(Sienna clicks to the next slide, as this one would be to highlight the achievements and accomplishments of Mia Santoro here in EAW. The students continued to look up at the screen, as Kassidy and Sienna stood in silence. They were confused. Why was it blank?!)

Kassidy Heart: …

Sienna Jade: …

Kassidy Heart: …

Sienna Jade: …

Kassidy Heart: …

(Sienna then clicks again, and one mere bullet point appears on the slide, stating; “Beat TLA.”)

Sienna Jade: That’s all.

Kassidy Heart: :mjlol:!!!! Now, I will give Mia the benefit of the doubt just this once; she has only been around here in EAW for a cup of coffee… and that is where the benefits end. She has no excuse as to why she hasn’t accomplished anything of great heights like her little boyfriend has also tried to achieve since her arrival in this company besides the fact that she just sucks, and wasn’t necessarily… cut from the cloth of talent or skill.

Sienna Jade: FOR REAL. It’s giving… Future post Pain For Pride 17 releases.

(The students would forcefully laugh once more just so they didn’t have the fear of god struck into them once more by Kassidy Heart.)

Kassidy Heart: The team of Donovan Duke and Mia Santoro, such a kewt little duo between the two as their relationship continues to blossom, and now they both think that they actually have what it takes to be able to defeat Sienna and I to win the Unified Tag Team Championships at King Of Elite. WRONG. It’s not gunna happen. Because truthfully? In no way do they even compare to the levels of greatness of the Jaded Hearts, whether it is a tag team, or in our solo ventures. We outlast them, we beat them, and we are going to outlive them in this company, because that is just how decorated our legacies have become.

(As Kassidy was speaking, Sienna would click to the next couple of slides. These slides showcased the accomplishments and many great achievements of The Jaded Hearts, their decorated careers on full display in bulletin points for all of the students in the university to read. The many championships; their statuses in the company, hall of fame rings, the list of big names that they have beaten, glass ceilings and records they have broken along the way, amongst so much more.)

Sienna Jade: #dOmiA or whatever they are calling themselves do not stand a chance against us, and that isn’t just confidence, that isn’t just cockiness or ignorance, that is the truth, and nothing but the truth, and we have continued to prove that since DAY. ONE. Donovan Duke has his little records that he can proudly hold onto and milk until the end of time because that point onward is where the glass ceiling for him becomes merely indestructible. Mia Santoro is a failed project and has been a failed project since day one, someone who has overstayed her welcome already and she has only been here since the start of the season! In the eyes of many, the tag team division can always be considered as consistently fierce, with many new teams always making their presence known. Yet, in the eyes of The Jaded Hearts?

Kassidy Heart: What part of this tag team division screams “fierce?”

(Kassidy and Sienna smirk.)

Sienna Jade: “But, but, La Familia!!!!”

Kassidy Heart: Beat them already.

Sienna Jade: “What about KAI-ZEN?! They have proven themselves!!!!”

Kassidy Heart: Beat them more times than I can count.

Sienna Jade: “But, NICHOLISM is DEFINITELY a threat to The Jaded Hearts!!!”

Kassidy Heart: Those two edgy fucks would probably kill themselves before they even get to a possible match against the two of us.

Sienna Jade: “Okay, but you CAN’T deny Devoluti-”

Kassidy Heart: Denied a long time ago.

Students: :damn:

University Rector: :dame:

(Sienna would then finally click onto the last, conclusion slide.)

Kassidy Heart: There are many ways that we could conclude this presentation that we have brought to all of you here tonight, and you better be grateful that we did this in the first place. But, I think the best way to end this, is to simply make a statement. #DOMIA thinks that they can take the mantle at the top of the tag team division away from us. Well, to be the better time, you, quite simply, win. They haven’t done a lot of that this season. This division NEEDS The Jaded Hearts, and that is the absolute truth.

Sienna Jade: The bullshit that the two have pulled in the recent weeks against the two of us, is completely unacceptable, and at King Of Elite, they are going to suffer the consequences of their actions in the absolute worst way possible, because no one can save them from what we are going to do the two of them, no one can save them from the beating that we give them.

Kassidy Heart: And by the time that King Of Elite does come around? I hope each and every single one of you within this room here tonight decides to take a personal seat to watch the massacre of the kewt little couple that thinks they have what it takes to take these championships away from us. We are going to destroy them in every way imaginable, and we are going to leave them a broken mess, but, at least we’re doing them a favor, and we are breaking them as they are hand in hand with each other.

Sienna Jade: And now THAT? Is greatness. 😌

Kassidy Heart: Are there any questions? Or in fact, any objections?

(Dead silence. Not a single soul even dared to raise their hand.)

Kassidy Heart: That is what I thought.

(The presentation would then turn off, as the two would stand there, and even give a bow to applause from the students in the University. The Rector to the side was completely caught off guard by how this was conducted, but what did they really expect? It was The Jaded Hearts. Sienna Jade and Kassidy Heart would then make their leave, as the scene fades away.)

(A commercial plays for Netflix.)

Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!

Crowd: ONE FALL!

(‘il vento d’oro’ by Yugo Kanno hits the speakers as MITSU would make his way out onto the stage, he didn’t look happy at all, as he made his way down the ramp.)

Stephie Love: Introducing first! From Sōka, Saitama, Japan, weighing in at 187 pounds, he is The ‘GOLDEN DOYEN!!!!!’ MITSU!!!!!!!!!!

(‘Pride and Arrogance’ by Takeru Kanazaki would then play soon after that, the crowd exploding into boos as Drake Armstrong was next to make his way out onto the stage, oozing confidence and showing little to no doubt in his chances tonight, as he makes his way to the ring.)

Stephie Love: And his opponent! From Scarsdale, New York, weighing in at 260 pounds, he is The ‘FUTURE!!!!!!!!’ DRAKE ARMSTRONG!!!!!!!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stew-O: And this match is now underway! Feels like we say it every week at this point, but another week, another opportunity for MITSU to make a huge bounce back and rebound as he is going up against Drake Armstrong, as the two men begin to pace around the ring, circling at the same movements and motion… before they rush towards the centre of the ring for a collar and elbow tie up to start this match!

Flannery McCoy: But it looks like Armstrong is going to take this match into another direction, as he ducks right under and goes around, pulling MITSU over into a quick waistlock! MITSU makes an attempt at trying to fight out of it, but it was Armstrong who was going to lift him into the air, dropping him into the mat with a wrestling takedown, and he looks for a quick kick to the midsection to cut MITSU off early here!

Jake Mercer: But it’s MITSU who’s going to side step that kick, as he manages to grab Armstrong by the ankle, picking it and dropping him to the mat! MITSU manages to ground his opponent as he leaps to his feet and mounts onto his back, before looking to lock in a quick grounded side headlock, but Armstrong escapes out of the way of it, getting MITSU off him and back to his feet, with MITSU quickly following behind him!

Stew-O: In a stalemate almost, as both men meet in the centre of the ring once more, but Armstrong quickly takes advantage of this movement, grasping onto MITSU and throwing him over into a mat with his own grounded headlock… but MITSU kicks out of it and pops to his feet! ONLY FOR DRAKE ARMSTRONG TO SHOOT RIGHT BACK UP WITH HIM AND GRABS HIM BY THE HEAD, SLAMMING HIM BACK INTO THE MAT! MITSU DROPPED HARD JUST RIGHT THERE!

Flannery McCoy: Drake Armstrong realises that he just opened up a massive advantage for himself in this match as MITSU is trying to recover on the mats, and Armstrong looks to use that perfectly, rushing towards and rebounding off the ropes, as he looks to drop an elbow right into MITSU’s chest! BUT MITSU MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! Armstrong crashes and burns into the mat, AND GETS PULLED QUICKLY RIGHT INTO A CRUCIFIX PINFALL BY MITSU! TO STEAL IT!

ONEEE!!!!!

Jake Mercer: But Drake Armstrong shoots upward and onto his feet for a quick kick out at the count of one! MITSU doesn’t waste any time, getting to his feet, and nailing a nasty forearm right across the bridge of Armstrong’s nose! Dazing him, MITSU would take a couple of steps back, and rushes right at him… but Drake moves out of the way, and he sends MITSU flying right through the middle rope, but he lands onto the apron!

Stew-O: ONLY FOR DRAKE ARMSTRONG TO IMMEDIATELY CLOSE THE DISTANCE WITH A KNEE STRIKE THROUGH THE ROPES AND INTO MITSU’S SKULL! MITSU has not a clue where he is at right now as Armstrong grabs him by the head and drags him back through the ropes and into the ring, and brings him to the centre of the ring, and it looks like he is going to attempt to end this match right now in the early goings right here!

Flannery McCoy: AND THAT MIGHT EXACTLY BE WHAT HAPPENS HERE STEW, AS DRAKE LIFTS MITSU UP, BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR, AND CONNECTING WITH THE JUMPING SHINBREAKER!!! ‘BY THE BOOTSTRAPS’ CONNECTS! MITSU falters down to the ground and Armstrong quickly follows and shoots the half, hooking the leg for the cover and for the win in this matchup here tonight!

ONEEE!!!!!
TWOOO!!!!!

Jake Mercer: BUT MITSU STAYS ALIVE! MITSU manages to shoot the shoulder off of the mat at the count of three, and he keeps his chances in this match alive for the time being, although I don’t think Drake Armstrong is very happy that this match hadn’t come to an end as soon as it began, as he would get back up to his feet and looks to continue dishing out the torment on his opponent for his own enjoyment.

Stew-O: He grabs MITSU by the head and pulls him back up to his feet as well, as he hooks onto him, and looks to make an attempt at a vertical drop suplex in the middle of the ring, but MITSU steps inward to block it from happening! Armstrong tries once more, but MITSU blocks it again! Armstrong goes for a third attempt… ONLY TO BE THROWN OVER INTO THE MAT INSTEAD! MITSU WITH HIS OWN SUPLEX TAKING ARMSTRONG DOWN!

Flannery McCoy: Drake Armstrong might be hurting badly here from that suplex by MITSU! He begins to roll away towards the ropes while MITSU begins to recover on the mat, getting back to his feet and making his way towards Armstrong, before striking him with yet another forearm smash right into the nose! Armstrong is dazed, as he grips onto his wrist, and MITSU irish whips him off of the ropes and into the opposite side, forcing him to rebound…

Jake Mercer: …AND ARMSTRONG IS FORCED TO REBOUND RIGHT INTO A PICTURE PERFECT DROPKICK BY MITSU DROPPING HIM IN THE CENTRE OF THE RING! Did you see the height that MITSU had gotten on that dropkick? He completely flattened Armstrong, and this might be it, as he staggers over towards his lifeless body and he makes the cover! MITSU may get the win right here tonight! This may be it!

ONEEE!!!!!
TWOOO!!!!!

Stew-O: BUT IT WASN’T MEANT TO BE JUST YET, AS ARMSTRONG GETS THE KICK OUT AT THE COUNT OF TWO!

Flannery McCoy: MITSU that he had the match won right then and there, it’s not over; not just yet! He sighed loudly, getting to his feet as he kicked Armstrong right in the head while he was down, showing a huge display of disrespect to the man who considers himself The “Future” in this exciting match here tonight! With Armstrong still down, what could MITSU possibly be thinking of attempting right now to put an end to this match here?

Jake Mercer: Well it looks like we are going to find that out right now, as he walks over to the corner, exiting onto the apron and begins to scale to the top rope! Armstrong was slowly beginning to recover and get back to his feet, as MITSU was at the top, poised and ready to strike with a high risk in order for a high reward to be given to him, as Armstrong turned around… AND MITSU TAKES OFF FOR A HUGE DIVING CLOTHESLINE!!

Stew-O: BUT IT’S NOT MEANT TO BE, AS ARMSTRONG CATCHES HIM WITH A BOOT OUT OF MID AIR RIGHT INTO THE ABDOMEN OF MITSU! That completely stops MITSU in his tracks, who stumbles down to his knees, before stumbling back up to his feet, still clearly dazed from that boot!

Flannery McCoy: And Drake Armstrong is going to take advantage of this opening he created as he quickly hooks onto MITSU, LIFTING HIM HIGH INTO THE AIR AND DROPPING HIM WITH A MASSIVE FOLDING POWERBOMB!!! DRAKE HOLDS FOR THE COVER

ONEEE!!!!!
TWOOO!!!!!

Jake Mercer: KICK OUT BY MITSU! MITSU manages to kick out just in time and I don’t think Drake Armstrong can actually believe it! He is quick to get back on his feet and pulls MITSU up as well… AND IF THAT DIDN’T PUT HIM AWAY, THIS WILL; AS DRAKE LIFTS HIM UP INTO THE AIR FOR THE ‘DEATH PENALTY!!!’ THE GOTCH STYLE TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER TO CONNECT TO END THIS—

Stew-O: —WHICH IS PREVENTED FROM MITSU, WHO LANDS ON HIS FEET OUT OF IT! Armstrong couldn’t believe it, as he quickly turned around to face MISTU, ONLY TO BE CAUGHT INTO THE FLAPJACK! THAT’S IT! MITSU DROPS HIM INTO THE MAT AND FLOATS OVER INTO THE COVER! FOR THE WIN!

ONEEE!!!!!
TWOOO!!!!!

Flannery McCoy: ANOTHER KICK OUT BY DRAKE ARMSTRONG, ONCE MORE KEEPING THIS MATCH ALIVE! MITSU is starting to get frustrated, as he has no idea what he needs to do in order to put Armstrong away here tonight on Dynasty, and doubt might be starting to creep up on him. But MITSU knows he needs to shoot that doubt away, and that might be exactly what he does, as he lifts Drake back up, looking to end it right here!

Jake Mercer: THIS MIGHT JUST BE IT RIGHT HERE, AS MITSU PULLS ARMSTRONG BACKWARDS INTO A RIPCORD POSITION, AND HE IS GOING TO TWIST HIM, BEFORE TURNING HIM INSIDE OUT WITH THE LARIAT!!!! ‘DOYEN’S DOMINION’ CONNECTS—

Stew-O: BUT IT DOESN’T, AS ARMSTRONG CATCHES HIM INTO A URANAGE! HE PULLS MITSU BACK TO HIS FEET… AND CONNECT WITH ‘DEATH PENALTY!!!’ GOTCH STYLE TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER, AND ARMSTRONG FLOATS OVER INTO A PINFALL, SEIZING HIS MOMENT AS HE HOOKS THE LEG TO WIN!

ONEEE!!!!!
TWOOO!!!!!
THREEE!!!!!!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER! DRAKE ARMSTRONG!

(‘Pride and Arrogance’ hits once more to an explosion of boos as Drake Armstrong would sit up, brushing off his shoulder before getting back to his feet as his arm was raised high into the air by the referee, him standing tall over MITSU.)

Stew-O: What a match! MITSU had Drake Armstrong beat on multiple occasions here tonight, but in the end it just wasn’t enough as Armstrong picks up one more victory before his inevitable battle against CY Henderson next week at King Of Elite! Congratulations to Drake Armstrong!

(Armstrong continues to celebrate his victory as the camera would fade out.)

(A commercial plays for Suicide Squad.)

(Dynasty returns from commercial break, and opens up with a vignette showcasing three Elitists: Milli Banks, Chris Elite, and Ms. Extreme. Milli holds up the Specialists Championship, Chris holds up the World Heavyweight Championship, and Ms. Extreme holds up the Universal Women’s Championship. A voice then cuts in, revealing itself to be the familiar tone of Milli Banks. As she speaks up, the vignette covers a montage of some of her memorable moments throughout her career.)

Milli Banks: I always believed myself capable of being a world champion. I’m an ambitious girlie after all, and I always aim high. I mean, if you ain’t shooting for the stars, then what is the point, you know? We all wanna be the best, and nothing encapsulates that more than a world championship. I’ll always be proud of what I’ve done for the Specialists Championship and elevating it to the highest of degrees, but baby, that was the first step. The next step is right here in front of me, and it’s at King of Elite where I will become the next number one contender for the EAW World Heavyweight Championship. Period.

(It then switches over to Chris Elite and his various highlights as he speaks.)

Chris Elite: I had enough of the crap. Enough of the chatter. Enough of the doubts. It’s the same talk, the same skepticism, but honestly, it’s not going to get to me. Last season it did, but now? I couldn’t care less. I know I’m ready to be a world champion again. I know that I have what it takes to be a world champion again, and honestly, what better way of doing that than by winning the same title that I captured six years ago? I think it’s high time for me to wake the world up, and I’m gonna do that at King of Elite.

(Ms. Extreme gets her spotlight next, showcasing her historic career and accomplishments.)

Ms. Extreme: I’m the best Elitist on this roster, bar none. No one can touch me. No one can or ever will match up to the things I’ve been able to accomplish here. However, I’m far from satisified. Far from done. Have I taken a couple of losses? Sure. But that doesn’t mean that I’m done now. I’m still a top player, a top competitor, and if I have to remind people of that? Then so be it. It just means I’ll be using Chris and Milli as an example of why you should never used washed in the same sentence as my name. Sucks for them, but oh well. I’m sure they won’t mind the temporary setback that awaits them at King of Elite.

(It switches back over to Milli.)

Milli Banks: Oh, she thinks it’s gonna go down that way? But when it was me and her last time, what happened? Oh, exactly. See, she wants to be all big and bad talking about how she knows she’s better than me. I beat her ass. Point blank period, so what is shawty talking about? She is straight up delulu and bitter and she needs to get over herself.

(Chris gets his turn next, tapping his chin.)

Chris Elite: If you ask me, both of them are entitled and bratty. Milli Bobbie and Cammy both think they can dog walk me, but honestly, it’s going to be fun for me proving them wrong and being able to be the one to get the win. Then, I’ll become a world champion again, and I’ll finally get my spot at the top back. No dickriders or anything on my case, either.

(Ms. Extreme yawns, rolling her eyes.)

Ms. Extreme: Both of them piss me off. At this rate, I think I’m gunning to pin them at the same time. Chris, I can at least understand where he’s coming from, but Milli? What has she done to prove she’s a top star again? Failed to beat the record? Barely get by against some of the more established names? It just seems like she’s scared she won’t be able to capture lightning in a bottle twice, and that’s why she went off on that weird rant in her own rant sounding like a complete brat. Either way though, I look forward to shutting her up, and regardless if it’s Myles, Jake or Bronson, I’ll be beating them at Operation: Doomsday and make history as I usually do.

Milli Banks: Make history? Nah. She’ll be making history being my bitch.

(It then cuts to Chris jokingly eating a bucket of popcorn.)

Chris Elite: I mean, they can have fun with each other. I’ll just come by, get the win and move on to Operation: Doomsday myself. :mjlol:

(The shot goes back to Milli in her chair, looking more focused.)

Milli Banks: Either way, I’m ready to write the next chapter in my career. I was made for moments like these. This is all I ever wanted, and now that it’s here? I’m not letting it go to waste.

(Ms. Extreme is focused on again, looking more serious and determined.)

Ms. Extreme: I know I can be a world champion again, and this time, my sights are set on something higher. I’m sure Chris would like nothing more than to feel like the top dog again, and Milli wants to continue shoving herself down people’s throats, but it’s about time I collect my own crown, and this time around, I’m not accepting anything less. I’m going to be a champion again by any means, and I’m booking my ticket at King of Elite.

(Chris Elite wear a small smile.)

Chris Elite: I’m definitely ready for this. I’m ready to win. Ready to show everyone that Chris Elite is here to stay. I’m not going to fade out or allow for my career to fall to the side ever again. I’m gonna be the best Elitist on this roster, and I’m gonna be that by being the best champion on the roster. I’m getting part of my history back.

Ms. Extreme: I’m going to make history.

Milli Banks: And I’m going to write a new history for myself. Because at King of Elite? It’s my time.

Chris Elite: My time.

Ms. Extreme: My time.

Together: And the next chapter is mine.

(The vignette then fades to black.)

(Friday Night Dynasty comes back to show the backstage area of the Antel Arena in a designated interview area where Dynasty’s designated correspondent Michael Belfort is seen standing by with a microphone in his hand. He has a smile on his face, waiting for the scene to settle in, before from there beginning to speak.)

Michael Belfort: What a Friday Night Dynasty it has been so far, as we are just minutes away from our main event of the night! Once that is through it’ll be full speed ahead to King of Elite, and I’m sure the majority of Elitists on the roster are excited to be a part of the festivities next weekend in South Africa! Right now though I want to talk about an affair leading into the event that has only escalated from what happened earlier in the night. With the stakes as high as ever, it’s clear what the path is leading into the Marquee Event, and to confirm that with us, please welcome our guest here tonight… EAW Hall of Famer, Cy Henderson!

(The crowd cheers loudly as the camera pans over to Cy Henderson making his way into the scene, already in his ring gear as he is preparing for his match coming up next. He greets Michael with a nod of his head before the interviewer continues to speak.)

Michael Belfort: Cy, we thank you for joining us tonight.

Cy Henderson: Of course, the pleasure is all mine.

Michael Belfort: As you already know, these past couple of months we’ve seen you have a conflict with one Drake Armstrong, who has made it known his conquest of revenge against you. Along with plenty of other things, one thing that has unsettled him the most is the loss that he sustained against you at Road To Redemption. With just a week before the King of Elite Marquee Event, can you give your thoughts on the matter?

(Cy chuckles to himself as he looks down at the floor, smirking before beginning.)

Cy Henderson: I’m sure for the fans at home it has been an exhilarating ride, one that has had its twists and turns as Drake Armstrong and I continue down our winding path. Of course, as you said, I did beat him at Road To Redemption, one-on-one, and for anyone else that would be enough to seal the deal, and settle any sort of debate that is to be had. But it seems like for someone like Drake, it doesn’t end with a loss. He can’t seem to accept the fact that I was the better man that night, and it’s eaten him alive since then. He thinks that he can redeem it, that if you give him one more chance the opportunity will be his for the taking, and if you want my opinion, what is there left to prove? This is not me trying to deny him of the match in any sort of way, we’ll get to that in a second, this is me trying to ask a genuine question. For any conflict in professional wrestling you settle it with one match and whoever wins is the superior between the two, and I’m just trying to call it as it is. Drake thinks that he can wave it in my face and try to boost the incentive by digging into my past and trying to expose me for the person that I apparently am, but that just goes to show how desperate he has become, not how much I need to accept this match. He comes from a place of malice, ruthlessly attacking me from behind beating me to a bloody pulp, trying to slander my name every chance that he gets, and he expects me to reciprocate the same type of energy, but I can’t seem to find a reason to. He hasn’t given me a reason to, simply put.

Michael Belfort: Well earlier in the night we did see a challenge from Drake put out for a match at King of Elite, but not just that, he also wanted to contest it in a Steel Cage. The world has been waiting to know, are you going to accept the challenge?

Cy Henderson: I did hear what he had to say, and I had a lot of time to think about this. Truthfully I think accepting it under his terms… and beating him under his terms is the only way that this can possibly end. I mean, let’s admit it, if I decline him right here and now, that is not going to stop him on his mission. He is going to continue to try and aggravate me every chance that he gets, and it’s just going to be nonstop until I finally cave in, so why not rip the bandaid clean off for him? Why not finally give him the opportunity to settle this once and for all, then when this is all said and done, he finally shuts up and is taken down a peg. I never planned to be the aggressor in this situation, all I wanted was respect from him which I was not given, and he was the one who continued to push this conflict between the two of us to the point that it escalated to now. I hate to be the one to do it, but I’m going to put an end to this once and for all and it is going to be inside of that Steel Cage at King of Elite.

(The crowd cheers loudly inside of the arena as Cy has a confident expression on his face, Michael nodding his head in excitement before continuing.)

Michael Belfort: What a stellar match announcement! Are there any last words that you have for Drake before we close this off?

Cy Henderson: Well-

(Before Cy can finish what he’s saying, he’s attacked from behind! The crowd boos, knowing exactly who this is, as Drake Armstrong begins to stomp down on him before mounting on top and raining down punches! He has nothing but fury in his veins as he unloads on the Hall of Famer, unrelenting in his attack, and making it known exactly what he’s getting himself into next week. He brings him up by the neck, shouting at him.)

Drake Armstrong: YOU’RE A FOOL, A PISSANT! KING OF ELITE WILL BE YOUR END-

(Drake is interrupted by a swift knee to the abdomen as the strike by Cy completely takes the air out of his lungs. Drake tries to fight back, but Cy is quick to grab him and spin him around before sending him shoulder-first into the concrete wall! Drake bounces off and staggers backward in pain, as Cy then grabs him around the waist and rams him into the wall again with more force than before! Drake slouches down to a seated position, writhing in pain as Cy stops his assault, getting up and dusting himself off. He can only shake his head.)

Cy Henderson: You’ve got this wrong, Drake. King of Elite will be *your* end.

(Cy then heads toward Gorilla Position, preparing for his match, as the camera focuses completely on Drake who has recovered from the pain and is seething. He’s angered about what just went down and slams his hands on the ground in pain. It’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty from there begins to fade to elsewhere.)

(The camera cuts to Stephie Love in the ring.)

Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR… ONE FALL!!

Crowd: ONE FALL!!

(“Tupac Back” by Meek Mill feat. Rick Ross plays first, garnering an extremely positive fan reaction, and Cy Henderson exits through the curtain, hyping the fans up ahead of his match before running down to the ring.)

Stephie Love: Introducing first! Hailing out of New York City, New York, weighing in at 240 pounds…HE IS THE JUSTICE SEEKER…CY HENDERSON!!

(‘Invincible’ by Pop Smoke plays next, receiving a mixed reaction from fans, some of whom are firmly in the corner of Cy Hendersom, but a majority are in favor of both men. Chris poses on the stage area before marching down to the ring.)

Stephie Love: And his opponent! Hailing out of Brooklyn, New York, weighing in at 210 pounds…HE IS GAWD GIVEN GREATNESS… CHRIS ELITE!!

(Both competitors stare one another down from opposing corners as the referee signals the bell.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stew-O: Alright, bell has rung, and our main event of the evening is underway. The highly anticipated match between Chris Elite and Cy Henderson! Both competitors start things off by circling one another before engaging in a collar and elbow tie-up. A jockey for position takes place, but Chris manages to back Cy into the corner, gaining the upper hand.

Flannery McCoy: Chris keeps Cy pinned into the corner, but the referee interjects, separating both men from one another. A clean break takes place, and Chris backs to the center of the ring, giving Henderson space. Cy exits the corner, and both men circle each other for a second time. Another collar and elbow tie-up takes place in the center of the ring, but this time, Cy isolates the arm of Chris Elite before wringing it, gaining control of the wrist.

Stew-O: Chris counters with an arm wringer of his own, and quickly transitions into a standing side headlock on Henderson. Chris wrenches on the hold, bringing Cy to a knee, and going down with him. Cy powers back to his feet, and bounces Chris off the ropes to escape!

Flannery McCoy: BUT CHRIS COMES BACK WITH A SHOULDER TACKLE, AND IMMEDIATELY HOOKS THE LEG FOR A COVER!

ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Jake Mercer: Instant kickout, and both men scramble back to their feet. Seems like we have a good ol’ fashioned stalemate early on.

Stew-O: Yeah, both men are staring each other down, the tension is starting to rise. Both men circle each other for a third time, still in the feeling out process, but there’s another collar and elbow tie-up! Chris slips behind Cy for a rear waistlock, but Cy spins around, grabbing Chris for a side headlock, which soon turns to a side headlock takedown.

Flannery McCoy: Cy has successfully grounded Chris Elite, which is smart, given that Chris Elite loves to fly. But clearly, Chris refuses to stay down for long as he starts powering back to his feet. This time, Chris bounces Cy off the ropes to escape! AND CY RETURNS WITH A SHOULDER TACKLE, DROPPING CHRIS ELITE, AND IMMEDIATELY GOES FOR THE COVER!

ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Stew-O: Similar to Chris Elite, Cy only gets a one count off the shoulder tackle, and both competitors rush back to their feet. Neither man have been able to get a clear cut advantage over the other, maybe that’ll change shortly as they march toward one another. Could we be seeing a fourth collar and elbow tie-up?

Jake Mercer: NO! Cy caught Chris with a kick to the gut instead, and places Chris in a standing side headlock. But Chris quickly bounces Cy off the ropes to escape!

Flannery McCoy: Dropdown by Chris Elite! AND CY REBOUNDS BACK INTO A PICTURE PERFECT DROPKICK! Cy rolls out of the ring, looking to shake the cobwebs out of his head- BUT CHRIS ELITE BARELY ALLOWS HIM TIME TO BREATHE BEFORE SOARING THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE WITH A SUICIDE DIVE!

Stew-O: CHRIS ISNT DONE YET, SLIDING BACK INTO THE RING, AND RUNNING OFF THE ROPES FOR ANOTHER SUICIDE DIVE! BUT AGAIN, CHRIS ISNT DONE YET, SLIDING BACK INTO THE RING FOR A TOPE CON HILO!

Flannery McCoy: EARLIER, WE SAID THAT CHRIS ELITE LIKES TO FLY! WELL, YOU JUST SAW THAT ON FULL DISPLAY RIGHT THERE! CHRIS HAS INTENSITY IN HIS EYES ALREADY, AND ROLLS CY HENDERSON BACK INTO THE RING!

Stew-O: Cy staggers back to his feet, and runs off the ropes as Chris Elite re-enters the ring. CHRIS TRIES HALTING CY’S MOMENTUM WITH A CLOTHESLINE! BUT CY DUCKS UNDERNEATH, AND RUNS OFF THE ROPES FOR A CLOTHESLINE OF HIS OWN! CHRIS POPS BACK TO HIS FEET, AND RUNS INTO ANOTHER CLOTHESLINE!

Flannery McCoy: CHRIS MAKES IT BACK TO HIS FEET, ALBEIT STUNNED, AND CY SPINS AROUND FOR THE CYCLONE LARIAT! BUT CHRIS ELITE BLOCKS IT, BIG BOOTING THE ARM OF HENDERSON, SPINNING HIM AROUND! AND CHRIS ELITE PLANTS CY WITH A RUNNING SHIRANUI! COVER IS MADE, HOOKING THE LEG!

ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHH-

Jake Mercer: AND A KICKOUT! It hasn’t taken long for the pace to pick up. Cy tried ending things early with that Cyclone Lariat, which would’ve no doubt led to the Rising Tide! But Chris Elite found a way to avoid it, not wanting to be on the receiving end of those moves back to back.

Stew-O: Cy starts to pull himself up in the corner. Meanwhile, Chris Elite stalks his opponent, rising up to a knee, Cy Henderson in his eyes. Once getting to his feet in the corner, Chris decides to charge in! BUT HENDERSON SEES HIM COMING, AND SENDS CHRIS UP AND OVER HIS SHOULDER!

Flannery McCoy: THOUGH, CHRIS CATCHES HIMSELF ON THE APRON, UNBEKNOWNST TO CY HENDERSON, WHO STAGGERS TO THE CENTER, CATCHING HIS BREATH! DONT TURN AROUND, CY! DONT TURN AROUND!

Stew-O: Cy catches his breath, and turns around, BUT NEARLY GETS CAUGHT WITH A SPRINGBOARD BY CHRIS ELITE! CY DUCKS UNDERNEATH HIM, AND CHRIS ROLLS THROUGH TO HIS FEET! CHRIS CHARGES IN AT CY, BUT GETS DROP TOE HOLD DOWN TO THE CANVAS!

Flannery McCoy: CY TRIES FOR HIS STF, KNOWN AS THE VOID LOCK, BUT CHRIS ELITE ROLLS ONTO HIS BACK, AND SHOVES CY AWAY WITH BOTH FEET! BOTH MEN SCRAMBLE BACK TO THEIR FEET, AND CHRIS GOES FOR THE BOX OFFICE SMASH!

Stew-O: SUPERKICK ATTEMPT, BUT CY CATCHES IT! CHRIS TAKES SWIPES AT HENDERSON, WHO IS JUST OUT OF REACH, KEEPING HOLD OF CHRIS’ FOOT! CY ATTEMPTS TO FLIP CHRIS ONTO HIS STOMACH, BUT CHRIS LANDS ON HIS FEET, AND GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE!

Jake Mercer: HOWEVER, CY HENDERSON DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT, AND SPRINGS OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE FOR A STUNNER!

Flannery McCoy: Chris pops back to his feet, favoring his jaw as he bounces off the ropes into a CYCLONE LARIAT! TURNED HIM INSIDE OUT! CY HENDERSON QUICKLY PULLS CHRIS BACK TO HIS FEET, AND HOISTS HIM ON HIS SHOULDERS FOR THE BURNING HAMMER!! RISING TI-

Stew-O: NO! CHRIS ELITE SLIPS OFF THE SHOULDERS BEHIND CY, WHO TURNS AROUND TO SEE THAT CHRIS HAS STAGGERED INTO THE CORNER! CY RUSHES IN- BUT RUNS RIGHT INTO A BACK ELBOW! CHRIS QUICKLY CLIMBS TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, AND DIVES OFF WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT!

Flannery McCoy: BUT CHRIS DOESNT GO FOR THE COVER, BACKING INTO THE CORNER FOR A RUNNING SHOOTING STAR PRESS ONTO CY! HOOK OF THE LEG!

ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

TH-

Stew-O: KICKOUT! An impressive combo performed by Chris Elite, but in the end, not enough to get the job done, and it’ll take a lot more than that to put away someone the caliber of Cy Henderson.

Flannery McCoy: Both competitors pull themselves in opposite corners. Of course, Chris isn’t stunned, but Cy is, possibly having no idea where he is right now. Chris charges in!

Stew-O: RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT IN THE CORNER, NO DOUBT JACKING THE JAW OF CY HENDERSON BEFORE HOISTING HIM UP ON HIS SHOULDER! CHRIS EYES THE OPPOSITE CORNER, AND BUILDS A HEAD OF STEAM, SENDING CY FACE FIRST INTO THE MIDDLE ROPE WITH A LAWN DART! OR AS HE CALLS IT, THE 44. BULLDOG!

Jake Mercer: CY IS GLAZED OVER AS HE SITS IN THE CORNER FOLLOWING THAT LAWN DART! A LIGHT BULB GOES OFF IN CHRIS ELITE’S BALD HEAD, AND HE REBOUNDS OFF THE OPPOSITE CORNER, CRASHING INTO HENDERSON WITH HAWK EM! DOUBLES KNEE IN THE CORNER, AND CHRIS ROLLS CY AWAY FROM THE ROPES FOR A COVER!

ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHHHHRRRRRRRR-

Flannery McCoy: CY GETS THE SHOULDER UP! There is still tons of fight left in Cy Henderson! How? Well, that’s a question I cannot answer. I mean, the resilience is unreal! The ability to take, not only the lawn dart, but double knees in the corner back-to-back, and still continue on with the match, that tells you all about Cy Henderson right there!

Stew-O: He is not someone you’re going to put down easy, and I hope that Drake Armstrong is watching, because that is his future. That is what he’s dealing with at King of Elite.

Flannery McCoy: Speaking of King of Elite, I’m sure that SOSA Henderson, Ms. Extreme, and Milli Banks all have their eyes glued to the monitor right now, scouting exactly what their opponent is made of as well.

Stew-O: Chris Elite is back to his feet, and watches as Cy Henderson begins to stir, rising to all fours. Chris runs off the ropes, BUT RUNS RIGHT INTO A SPEAR! CALAMITY CONNECTS OUT OF NOWHERE, AND CY HENDERSON LOOKS FOR THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEG!

ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE-

Jake Mercer: SHOULDER UP! CHRIS ELITE GOT THE SHOULDER UP!

Flannery McCoy: Cy Henderson rolls prone on the canvas, and both competitors are down. The wear and tear beginning to show as both men have really brought it to one another.

Stew-O: No kidding. The match has been full speed, pedal to the metal ever since Chris Elite soared through the middle rope with that suicide dive. The exhaustion was bound to catch up to both men eventually, we’re seeing that now.

Flannery McCoy: Cy’s exhaustion by how he hit that spear, not packing the typical umph behind it, more so coming out of desperation. That desperation to regain control, which Cy has been lacking lately in this match up.

Stew-O: Both men are stirring, and Cy crawls over to Chris, pulling him up to his feet for a RIGHT HAND! Chris battles back with a KICK TO THE MIDSECTION! But Cy returns fire with a RIGHT HAND! BIG BODY SHOT BY CHRIS ELITE IN RETURN! RIGHT HAND BY CY HENDERSON! KICK TO THE GUT BY CHRIS!

Flannery McCoy: Cy is doubled over, and Chris places Cy’s head between his legs, possibly looking for a powerbomb of sorts, perhaps a canadian destroyer. BUT WE WONT FIND OUT AS CY HENDERSON DOUBLES LEG CHRIS ELITE, AND HOOKS BOTH LEGS, SLINGSHOTTING HIM INTO THE CORNER!

Stew-O: CHRIS ELITE CATCHES HIMSELF ON THE MIDDLE ROPE, BUT CY HENDERSON RUSHES OVER, AND PEELS CHRIS ELITE AWAY WITH A ELECTRIC CHAIR! CY PLANTS CHRIS IN THE CENTER WITH AN ELECTRIC CHAIR POWERBOMB, HOLDING IT FOR A COVER!

ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHHHH-

Jake Mercer: NEARFALL AS CHRIS ELITE GETS THE SHOULDER UP!

Flannery McCoy: Chris Elite is prone on the canvas, and Cy starts climbing to the top turnbuckle.

Stew-O: Notice how Cy didn’t waste much time following the kickout. Plan A didn’t work, so he immediately went to Plan B. Chris Elite slowly rises back to his feet, AND GETS CAUGHT WITH THE DIVING LEGDROP BULLDOG BY CY HENDERSON! CHRIS COULD BE OUT, AND CY QUICKLY CRAWLS INTO THE COVER!

ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHHHRRRRRR-

Flannery McCoy: AND A KICKOUT! Kickout after kickout! Cy Henderson pulls Chris back to his feet, and places him in the corner, lifting Elite to the top turnbuckle. Cy hooks him up for a superplex! BUT CHRIS ELITE BLOCKS IT! CHRIS HAS HOLD OF THE TOP ROPE, AND DELIVERS SHOTS TO THE RIB CAGE, LOOSENING CY’S GRIP!

Stew-O: AND CHRIS SLAMS CY FACE FIRST OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, DOUBLING HIM OVER FOR A AVALANCHE SUNSET FLIP SIT-OUT POWERBOMB! CY ROLLS TO THE CENTER OF THE RING, AND CHRIS CLIMBS TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! ELITE IS GOING TO FLY WITH A FROG SPLASH! FROG SPLASH HITS ITS MARK! COVER IS MADE!

ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!

Jake Mercer: CY! CY HENDERSON ROLLS THROUGH TO HIS FEET, MUSCLING UP CHRIS ELITE IN A CRADLE! CY TRIES POPPING CHRIS UP ON HIS SHOULDERS FOR A FIREMANS CARRY, BUT CHRIS GOES OVERHEAD CY, LANDING ON HIS FEET BEHIND HIM!

Flannery McCoy: CY SPINS AROUND- BOX OFFICE SMASH! BOX OFFICE SMASH BY CHRIS ELITE, THOUGH HE DIDNT GET ALL OUT OF IT! CY STAGGERS BACK, AND REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES! CHRIS GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE- BUT CY DUCKS UNDERNEATH, AND BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES AGAIN!

Stew-O: JUMPING CROSSBODY BY HENDERSON, BUT THIS TIME, CHRIS ELITE ROLLS THROUGH, POWERING UP CY HENDERSON IN A CRADLE POSITION! CHRIS POPS CY ONTO HIS SHOULDERS FOR THE FIREMANS CARRY DROPPED INTO A ROUNDHOUSE KICK! MOMENT OF CLARITY! CY CRUMPLES TO THE CANVAS, AND CHRIS SHOOTS THE HALF!

ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE-

Flannery McCoy: CY POPS THE SHOULDER UP! Both competitors are down, but Chris Elite is the first to begin stirring. Elite is back to his feet, and looks to pull Cy Henderson back up to his-

(Chris only can pull Cy up to all fours before ‘They Call Me a God’ by NEFFEX plays, prompting Chris to release Cy, allowing him to roll out of the ring as he turns attention fully towards the stage area, gearing up to fight.)

Stew-O: Oh no, I was hoping it wouldn’t come to this. I was hoping that both men could have a decisive winner, especially with the match their having, but it looks that may not happen!

(Ms. Extreme marches down the ramp, and stands at the end of it, jaw jacking with Chris from outside the ring. Chris is urging for Ms. Extreme to enter the ring, but ‘They Call Me a God’ by NEFFEX suddenly comes to an end as-)

Jake Mercer: WAIT A MINUTE, THATS MILLI BANKS! MILLI BANKS JUST SPUN CHRIS AROUND, AND BACKS HIM INTO THE CORNER WITH RIGHT HANDS!

Stew-O: CHRIS ELITE SHOVES MILLI AWAY, BUT MILLI IS RIGHT BACK ON THE ATTACK, CHARGING INTO CHRIS WITH A FOREARM IN THE CORNER! MILLI IS BEATING CHRIS DOWN WITH MULTIPLE FOREARMS IN THE CORNER, PUMMELING HER OPPOSITION AHEAD OF KING OF ELITE!

Flannery McCoy: REFEREE HAS LOST ALL CONTROL, AND HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO CALL FOR THE BELL, RULING THIS A NO CONTEST!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stew-O: BUT THE ACTION IS STILL ONGOING! MS. EXTREME SLIDES IN THE RING, AND MILLI BANKS TURNS TOWARD HER, WANDERING INTO A URANAGE SLAM!

Flannery McCoy: MS. EXTREME STOMPS CHRIS IN THE CORNER BEFORE MOUNTING MILLI WITH RIGHT HANDS!

Jake Mercer: BUT ON THE OUTSIDE, CY HENDERSON HAS COME TO, AND I DONT THINK HES TAKING KINDLY TO HIS MATCH BEING INTERRUPTED!

(Cy goes to slide into the ring, but gets yanked back out by the ankle.)

Stew-O: WHAT THE- THATS ARMSTRONG! DRAKE ARMSTRONG JUST NAILED CY HENDERSON, KNOCKING HIM CLEAN OUT!

Flannery McCoy: DRAKE DIDNT FORGET ABOUT EARLIER, THATS FOR CERTAIN!

(Drake stands over an unconscious Henderson, talking trash to him before slapping Cy in the face, and heading up the ramp, backpedaling to watch the chaos inside the ring unfold.)

Stew-O: BOX OFFICE SMASH! BOX OFFICE SMASH TO MS. EXTREME, WHO WAS TOO BUSY WITH PUNCHING MILLI, SHE FORGOT ABOUT CHRIS ELITE!

Flannery McCoy: BUT CHRIS HASNT FORGETTEN BEING ATTACKED BY MILLI, WHO HE STARTS TO REIGN WITH RIGHT HANDS ON!

Stew-O: MILLI POWERS BACK TO HER FEET, AND SPILLS TO THE OUTSIDE WITH CHRIS ELITE, SPEARING BOTH HIM AND HERSELF OUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE! BOTH COMPETITORS ARE QUICKLY BACK TO THEIR FEET, AND EXCHANGING RIGHT HANDS!

Jake Mercer: BUT LOOK OUT! MS. EXTREME SOARS OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A CROSSBODY ONTO BOTH CHRIS AND MILLI!

Flannery McCoy: AW MAN, WERE RUNNING OUT OF TIME, BUT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, YOU CAN SEE MORE OF THIS AT KING OF ELITE! MS. EXTREME, MILLI BANKS, AND CHRIS ELITE, ALL VYING TO BE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER!

Stew-O: BUT IN THAT MAN, DRAKE’S CASE, HE IS LOOKING TO RIGHT HIS WRONG FROM ROAD TO REDEMPTION, AND PUT CY HENDERSON IN THE DIRT FOR GOOD!

(Security rushes past an extremely smug Drake Armstrong on the ramp, looking to break apart the three way brawl as the camera fades elsewhere.)
