(EAW intro plays.)
(As per, a recap of last week’s episode of Friday Night Dynasty is shown: Terry Chambers kicks off the show talking about his displeasure with Dynasty’s newest signing, Dr. Bethany Blue. Bethany comes out to interrupt and before long, a match is made official for House of Glass. In the first match of the night, it’s Solomon Stane that makes an impact, making quick work of the debuting Flex Levi. Lisa Wren & Kensi come out talking about Lisa’s injury before Clash of Kingdoms 2 and their plan to exact revenge just as they did on Voltage towards Mary S. Atlas and Rebecca Blackwell. Sierra and Ximena Velasquez are then seen backstage talking about their recent shortcomings, before focusing on the Unified Tag Team Championships and saying they’re the ones calling the shots and made a match official at House of Glass. Domino Stone and Black Shamrock then have a match after and in the end, it’s Domino that comes out with the victory. SOSA Henderson then comes out and talks about how he should be next in line for a World Championship shot and anyone like Andrea Valentine should stick up or shut up. Andrea then comes out and says that she has more drive and determination than he ever could, and cuts the bullshit and challenges SOSA to a match at House of Glass, in which SOSA accepts. Andrea then has a match afterwards against Sierra, in which Andrea comes out with the victory. The Visual Prophet and Dr. Angelo D’Angelo come out and talk about how there is nobody that can lead Dynasty like Viz did, not even Xander Payne. It isn’t long before Xander comes out, threatening and sending him a warning that House of Glass will be a date he regrets. Dr. Bethany Blue and Harlow Reichert then have a match where Bethany comes out on top making a statement in her Dynasty in-ring debut. Johnny Andrews then comes out, hyping himself up and priding himself on being the one that’s going to dethrone Andre Walker. Andre then comes out and says fine, if he wants this match then he can happily sign his death warrant, making their House of Glass match official. Then in the main event, Jack Ripley faces off against The Visual Prophet which ends in a no contest after Xander puts his hands into the match, pissing Bronson off and sparking an uncontrollable brawl which is the last shot that’s seen before the recap ends from there.)
(It then goes to the Coliseo de Puerto Rico where pyro is seen immediately shooting out from the Friday Night Dynasty stage while the crowd erupts into thunderous applause. The camera pans around to the hyped EAW Universe in attendance before going to the announcers desk.)
Stew-O: Ladies and gentlemen we are at the home stretch, the go home show to the exclusive Free-Per-View, House of Glass! Welcoming you tonight… TO FRIDAY NIGHT DYNASTY!!!
Flannery McCoy: We have a lot in store today and a night filled with epic proportions! Like our main event for example, with Jack Ripley in action going up against SOSA Henderson!
Jake Mercer: And we can’t forget fat Terry Chambers going up against even fatter Solomon Stane! Personally, I’m juiced up! I’m hyped up! I couldn’t be more ready and I absolutely can’t wait for this show! So let me be like Stew or whatever when I say this, WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?! LET’S GET RIGHT FUCKING TO IT BABY!
(The camera goes from the broadcasting booth to the stage as ‘Second Sucks’ by A Day To Remember blasts through the speakers of the arena to the thunderous roar of the Puerto Rican crowd. They’re hyped and on their feet for another star-studded episode of Dynasty and that’s only amplified when Dynasty General Manager: StarrStan makes his way out to the stage with the brightest smile in the world on his face. He looks around for a moment, placing his hand on his hips before looking towards the ring and beginning to make his way down the ramp from there.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen introducing at this time, the General Manager of Friday Night Dynasty… STARRSTAN!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: And to kick off the show, here comes the General Manager! You can tell this is a special Dynasty tonight where we wrap up everything that’s been going on so far and look towards House of Glass next week, and what kind of General Manager would Starr be if he didn’t rally and hype the crowd up tonight and get them excited for the Free-Per-View at hand?
Flannery McCoy: There’s always something of interest to be had when Starr makes his way out to the ring, especially to kick off a show. It’s clear he has something important to say in some sort of capacity regarding House of Glass and personally, I would love to hear it. Maybe it’s some stipulations being announced, just a guess :lupe:.
Jake Mercer: Come the FUCK on! Don’t be so stupid, Flannery, we all know that it has to be something MORE than that. I don’t know what it should be, but I’m willing to bet some GOOD FUCKING MONEY that it’s much grander… the dirtsheets told me that by the way.
(Starr begins to make his way up the steel steps, entering into the ring before making his way towards the edge of the ring and taking a microphone from the Timekeeper’s area. He then makes his way towards the center of the ring with a smile on his face, gripping the microphone in his hand while ‘Second Sucks’ begins to fade out from there. He then begins to bring the microphone up to his mouth, taking a moment before beginning to speak.)
StarrStan: BUENOS DÍAS PUERTO RICO!!! Dear lord, I hope I said that right… I hope everyone is doing great tonight and I hope most importantly that everyone is ready for a star-studded episode of your favorite weekly episodic show, the flagship brand of course, Friday Night Dynasty! Now I promise I won’t be here to take up much of your time because there are so many festivities to unravel tonight that of course, time is of the essence. I just wanted to come out here to tidy some knots when it comes to House of Glass, and of course, spice things up. Because what would this specific Free-Per-View be without some… stipulations per se?
(The crowd begins to get loud once again as Starr looks around and begins to nod his head, popping the collar of his blazer with pride while he bathes in the moment.)
Flannery McCoy: So, where’s that “good fucking money,” Jake?
Jake Mercer: What are you talking about? I don’t know what you’re talking about, Flannery… clearly I’ve always said he was going to talk about the stipulations, it was written in the stars! Nothing contradictory about that, no not at all…
StarrStan: Of course, what better way to start off with than the tense rivalry going on between Lisa Wren & Kensi against the team of Voltage’s Mary S. Atlas & Rebecca Blackwell, known as Marybecca. Ever since the invasion of the Voltage Women’s Divide & Conquer team on Dynasty at the go-home show leading to Territorial Invasion & Clash of Kingdoms, Lisa and Kensi have been out for blood against two people specifically on that team, Mary and Rebecca, after Lisa was injured at their hands. They were not short on making themselves known and calling the shots and of course, forcing them to step into Dynasty turf and compete in a tag team match at House of Glass. While Mary and Rebecca have major plans on the horizon leading into Wicked Games, this is going to be something that they’re going to have to get past first, with the stipulation for their tag match being 10,000 SHARDS!
(The crowd cheers upon hearing the stipulation announcement, flashing back to last Season’s House of Glass showing the moment when Jake Smith got a victory over Lethal Consequences in the same stipulation.)
StarrStan: Then moving onto the match being contested by Jack Ripley and Bronson Daniels! Jack was looking to move on from Territorial Invasion and continue on his path to make himself known on the Friday Night Dynasty brand, all before one Bronson Daniels confronted him and made it known that if there’s one person that should take the blame for their loss in the Brand Warfare match, it’s him. Of course, that didn’t sit well for Jack and it’s something that he didn’t take so kindly as a result, reminding him of the last few times that the two of them faced, and how he doesn’t expect much to be different this time around. From the Extreme Elimination Chamber to Falls Count Anywhere, Jack Ripley and Bronson Daniels will complete their trilogy by facing off in a GLASS WEAPONS MATCH!
(The crowd cheers once more, going back once again to last year, where Limmy Monaghan got a victory over SEBAS in the same matchtype.)
StarrStan: And we can’t forget one of the most highly anticipated singles non-title matches on the card, the match between Dynasty’s newest acquisition, Dr. Bethany Blue, and the recently returning Terry Chambers! Of course, Bethany wanted to start her Dynasty run off with a bang and she knew exactly who to target when it came down to it. It’s clear she’s struck a nerve with Terry and both of them now look to test their mettle and rewind the clock to the Voltage days with a match at House of Glass! Where they fight in a newly introduced matchtype, which is a GLASS BALL PIT MATCH! :mjgrin:
(The crowd don’t cheer this time, instead they give an awe-stricken response. Definitely an interesting matchtype given the name, but Starr doesn’t give anymore specifics from there, continuing on with his talk.)
StarrStan: And of course, the Unified Tag Team Championships. Harlow Reichert & Xavier Williams have been begging for challenges to step up to the plate to prove that they are as good as they say they are. And they’ve got one in the form of Sierra & Ximena Velasquez. Both of them are dominant figures here on Friday Night Dynasty and have proven themselves to be staples in some capacity. They called the shots before Xavier and Harlow could say anything, and a match was made official at House of Glass with the Championships on the line! Of course, I bet all the money in the world that the conflict isn’t done just yet and will be continued tonight. But I can confirm to you that the Unified Tag Team Championship match will be contested under ALPHA GLASS DEATHMATCH RULES!
(The crowd sadistically roars into applause in response to the brutal matchtype, going back to the war that the current World Heavyweight Champion, Xander Payne had with Chris Elite last year. Ending with Xander barely coming out of the match on top.)
StarrStan: We’re reaching the homestretch folks, bare with me here. Especially when it comes to the Interwire Championship match with Andre Walker facing off against Johnny Andrews! Andre of course, coming off a victory in Kuwait, is looking to shatter the record for longest reigning Interwire Champion just like he did with the New Breed Championship. But unfortunately, Johnny Andrews had other plans, crashing his celebration and making it known that he’s going to be the one to face Andre at House of Glass, which Andre made official at House of Glass stating the only thing that Johnny is doing is signing his death wish. So what better than to contest this match in a stipulation that spelled the end of a forgotten Elitist just a year ago :troll:. ANDRE WALKER AND JOHNNY ANDREWS WILL BE FIGHTING IN A GLASS CRYPT MATCH!
(The crowd cheers once more, some laugh remembering the House of Glass match last year between Andre and Christian DeMarco for the New Breed Championship, which definitely ended on a satisfying high note for Andre in his first defense of the New Breed Championship.)
StarrStan: And of course, we can’t be forgetting a battle to remember between Andrew Valentine and SOSA Henderson. Both finding themselves unsuccessful in their journey towards World Championship gold, both of them look to get right back to the top to take another shot, but let’s just say that both of them have differing opinions on who should be first in line between the two of them. Both of them have staked their claims and it has led them towards a match being contested between the two to settle the score at House of Glass. And I have the highest honor of saying that match will be contested in RED WALLZ!
(That’s when the crowd gets on their feet, rewinding to the point in time last year when the current Unified Tag Team Champion Harlow Reichert stepped into the dastardly structure with Universal Women’s Championship aspirations on her mind. Despite violence not being her norm, she still walked in ready for war, despite that, coming out short in the end.)
StarrStan: And of course, the obvious. The traditional GLASS WALLZ MATCH being contested between World Heavyweight Champion, Xander Payne as he defends his title against The Visual Prophet. Viz has been deadset on making sure that he gets his title back and has worked his ass off to make sure that it happens, but it doesn’t come so easily. With Xander’s path of destruction against everyone he’s faced, it’s apparent that he is not going to stay down especially with his Championship on the line! We have an exciting card lined up for you at House of Glass and as always, I hope you enjoy the shoe thank you very much!
(‘Second Sucks’ once again plays up as Starr hypes up the crowd with a smile on his face. From there, he begins to make his way out of the ring and take his leave as it’s the last shot seen before Dynasty ultimately fades to elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for Mexican underground cockfighting, starring the cockfighting Champion, Lethal Consequences.)
(Dynasty comes back from commercial break to show Stephie Love standing at the center of the ring with a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand, ready to announce the next match.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following singles contest is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Drip Too Hard ft. Gunna’ by Lil Baby blast through the speakers of the arena to a quiet reaction from the crowd. In response, what should be an entrance for Dynasty newcomer, Flex Levi, leads to absolutely nobody coming out. The crowd begins to murmur while specifically the commentators talk amongst themselves.)
Jake Mercer: Guys! Guys! No worries, Flex might’ve just had traffic heading to the arena today. It’s completely fine, I’m sure he’ll be here any second now! Any second now…
Stew-O: I wouldn’t get your hopes up, Jake. Whatever has happened to Flex Levi just doesn’t have to be good in the slightest :lupe:.
Flannery McCoy: Speak of the devil, I just got intel that something is happening backstage, we’re cutting there right now!
(It then goes from the announcer’s desk to the backstage area, where a menacing figure is seen approaching a man that is coughing up blood on the concrete flooring of the backstage area.)
Stew-O: IT’S BLACK SHAMROCK! BLACK SHAMROCK GRABBING THE HEAD OF FLEX LEVI AND SLAMMING HIM AGAINST THE COLD, HARD BRICK WALL! HE’S A BLOODY MESS RIGHT NOW AS BLACK SHAMROCK POPS HIM OFF OF HIS FEET, BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH AUTHORITY CONNECTING WITH A POWERSLAM!
(Black Shamrock grabs Flex by his hair, picking him up and looking at him with a pissed off look on his face, beginning to drag him away and heading towards the Gorilla Position.)
Black Shamrock: (Off-Mic) I’m not done with you just yet…
(It then goes to the arena, the camera showing the stage. In an instant, Flex Levi is seen stumbling out from the backstage area and collapsing down to the ground. He slowly tries to help himself up to his feet, but it’s Black Shamrock that grabs him and rolls him down the ramp. He’s on the hunt now, grabbing him and rolling into the ring while the referee looks in bewilderment at what’s going on before his eyes right now.)
Flannery McCoy: BSK! BROGUE KICK TO THE FACE OF FLEX LEVI DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! BLACK SHAMROCK IS LOOKING TO CAP THIS OFF PRACTICALLY YELLING AT THE REFEREE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Jake Mercer: BLACK SHAMROCK DROPPING DOWN AND GOING FOR A PIN ATTEMPT RIGHT NOW!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Written in My Hellfire’ blasts through the speakers of the arena to loud boos as Black Shamrock pops up to his feet and gets his hand raised in victory by the referee. He basks in the negative reaction by the crowd before beginning to climb up to the top rope and start his grand celebration from there.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner… BLACK SHAMROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: What a statement being made by Black Shamrock tonight! It was apparent that he wasn’t going to wait for the bell to ring and wasted zero time laying waste to Flex Levi today. Now because of that, he stands tall and makes a huge statement at his expense.
Flannery McCoy: Black Shamrock has definitely gained his footing in EAW and he’s only just started! The question is, who’s going to be the one to halt his momentum right in his tracks? Congratulations to Black Shamrock on his victory!
(A commercial is shown for the new movie directed by Matt Reeves, ‘The Batman.’)
(Dynasty fades back into the ring as immediately, ‘Witches Burn’ by The Pretty Reckless begins to play up, showing Harlow Reichert beginning to make her way out from the backstage area. It isn’t long after that her theme is replaced by ‘It Has Begun’ by Starset as Xavier Williams follows from behind her and stands side by side with her. The crowd is on their feet and cheering their lungs out while they both hold their respective pieces of tag team Championship gold. They take it and raise it high in the air, while pyro begins to shoot out of the stage in a beautiful array. Both of them then sling it back over their shoulder, Harlow giving a look at Xavier while Xavier looks back and nods his head, both of them beginning to make their way down the ramp and to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, introducing at this time… the EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!! XAVIER WILLIAMS AND HARLOW REICHERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Well I think it’s apparent why the Tag Champions are out here right now, to address the issue at hand when it comes to two certain people who decided to step up to the plate and challenge for the Unified Tag Team Championships. Sierra and Ximena Velasquez did not waste anytime calling the shots and making it known that both of them will be challenging for the belts at House of Glass, and it’s apparent that Xavier and Harlow are looking to set that in stone this time around by finally getting the chance to address them formally in the best way possible.
Flannery McCoy: Let’s not forget what StarrStan announced the stipulation of the match to be, an Alpha Glass Deathmatch. We saw how brutal that match can be last year and we’re looking to see a repeat this year as well. While one-half of the Champions wouldn’t dare touch any sort of hardcore or extreme stipulation, I feel like we’re in for some magic regardless. And that the Champions are going to go out of their way to make sure that one way or another they come out on top in this circumstance. Especially against plucky, relentless challengers who will give them the fight of their life.
Jake Mercer: You know, a gut feeling inside of me tells me that Sierra and Ximena won’t be the ones to take down Harlow and Xavier. But no worries, there’s a rational solution when it comes to all of it. They want a challenge?! They got it! Jake Mercer and his special partner STEW-O will be the ones to shut them up!
Stew-O: What-
Jake Mercer: Shhhh! Just go with it…
(Xavier begins to make his way up the steps and stepping onto the apron. He holds the ropes down for Harlow to jump up onto the apron and enter inside the ring, while he follows closely behind. Harlow gets microphones for the both of them, while they stand at the center of the ring wearing their Championships proudly on their shoulders. ‘It Has Begun’ slowly begins to fade out after a while, while the Champions begin to speak into their microphones from there.)
Xavier Williams: You know, it doesn’t bring much satisfaction to me to see the state of the tag division. While it feels like I’m beating a dead horse when it comes to it, you can’t help it; especially when you’re one-half of the standard bearers of said division. The entirety of Elite Answers Wrestling at this point have attempted to put their collaborative efforts in giving us an iota of contentment when it comes to our Unified Tag Team Championship reigns, and while we appreciate it in some capacity, all we’ve been given regardless is scraps. Scraps from the endless trash heap who want to glorify themselves and make themselves seem more grand than they should be. Believe me, if I had a dime for how many times we’ve heard that so and so is going to be our biggest challenge yet and are going to be the ones that take our titles with absolutely no backing, I’d be a billionaire. But it goes to show just how far people are going to have to go to begin with to take us down.
Harlow Reichert: Especially Sierra not Bradford and Ximena Velasquez. Personally, I think it’s kind of hilarious that they want to act like this. “Taking control” and acting like they can call the shots when it comes to everything that revolves around our match at House of Glass? I see a sense of “importance” more like a desperate grasp for attention. To make themselves stand apart from the flock and make themselves seem different. Different from the rest of the people that we’ve faced, more importantly, making sure that the result that happens is different from every other time. But we all know that it’s all just one big lie. Me and Xavier are far from stupid, frankly we have much more brains than most of the roster. We see right through this facade and can tell you, nothing is going to change about Sierra and Ximena’s luck this time around. Just the same as always, disappointment after disappointment after disappointment after disappointment. How exactly are multiple time Champions supposed to be intimidated by two people who haven’t done jackshit this Season? The logic is just not there apparently and won’t be there for as long as they’ll be on our backs.
Xavier Williams: I’m not thrilled to be saying this and have the unfortunate displeasure of hearing them run their mouths. But it’s better than them making an excuse that we’re ducking them somehow, someway. But let’s see what they have to say to our face, because as far as I’m concerned? I’m tired of them running around acting like they’re more than what they actually are because they haven’t even opened their mouths directly towards us once, it doesn’t exactly work like that.
(Xavier brings his microphone down along with Harlow as well, but it’s not long after that ‘Odd Eye’ by DREAMCATCHER begins to blare through the speakers to the thunderous boos from the crowd. It isn’t long that both Sierra and Ximena Velasquez begin to make their way out to the ring and down the ramp. They look towards one another, talking amongst themselves and mocking their opponents inside the ring. They take microphones from the ringside area before entering into the ring. ‘Odd Eye’ begins to fade out as both Sierra and Ximena begin to speak.)
Sierra: Get a load of that, Ximena. I find it very amusing that the both of you want to downplay us and throw us to the curb like we didn’t expect it. We knew you were going to do that, we knew that you weren’t going to take us seriously and that’s something that honestly we could not give a damn about in the slightest. We’ve been told we couldn’t do anything and everything for ages, and it’s never stopped the two of us. It never hindered our abilities or halted us in our tracks like intended, we always pushed forward, and proved the naysayers wrong. Both of you can say whatever you want, but just know, we’re very unphased because it’s just another day in the office for us. Getting to work and obtaining the results that seem insurmountable to the naked eye. But I swear to you one thing and one thing only, what is presumed to be “fiction,” will turn to fact
Ximena Velasquez: You putos can run your mouth all you want, but you will be put through hell at House of Glass, La Diosa y La Reina will make sure of such things. You can state the obvious all you want, Season XV has been through a rough patch lately and I’m not even going to deny it, I’m just going to be straight and absolutely honest to you. But that doesn’t mean Ximena Velasquez hasn’t lost what makes her La Diosa, it only strengthens her and makes her just as much of a threat as she was before. I am battle hardened and ready for battle, fueled by my heritage, fueled by my defeats, and making sure that I accomplish what I said out to do. Me and Sierra have the Unified Tag Team Championships in our crosshairs, and knowing the two of us? We have no problem getting our hands dirty and bloodied to get everything we want.
Sierra: So you can play your narrative that this isn’t going to be a problem in your head. Like this isn’t your biggest challenge, though that could not be anymore wrong. But the fact of the matter is, we’re on the hunt. We’re tired of defeat, if you ask me? And I think that me and Ximena can agree with the fact that’s not what we came to do in Elite Answers Wrestling. I’ve been here for nearly two years now, working my ass off and making sure that I get what I want. While it’s been a struggle, I’m making sure that it’s not for nothing.
Ximena Velasquez: Exactly so, you two little pipsqueaks ain’t going to do shit, especially considering the two intimidating figures that stand before you. We’re not holding back unlike one of you at House of Glass, we’re going to lay it all on the line and beat the shit out of you, and give you a beating you will remember. And from then on, we won’t be known as the two women who were underlooked in EAW. You’re looking at the two people who made one of the “best” tag teams in all of EAW look like absolute basura and put them in their place, rightfully so.
(In an instant, Xavier and Harlow look towards one another. Harlow looks towards them and rolls their eyes, thinking for a moment before snickering as she speaks.)
Harlow Reichert: Intimidating… :mjlol:. Yeah alright then, and you say you’re somehow in the right with the bullshit claims that you continue to spew out. Just know your cute little description of the two of you is far from the truth and are furthermore going to be exposed as nothing more than lies just like the bullshit you spew at House of Glass. Nothing is going to be different, nothing is going to change, as much as you desperately want to believe otherwise.
Xavier Williams: Cling onto the last ounce of hope that you have left after a pair of disappointing careers retrospectively. Just know this will all be over soon enough, and the embarrassment will cease for the two of you. You’re just another piece of evidence that StarrStan will throw anyone that he can in our way in hopes of getting our dissatisfaction out of the way in the swiftest means. But that’s fine by us, because it’s another chance to put two naive fools in their place and show exactly why those Unified Tag Team Championships belong to us. Easy as that. So if I were you? I’d watch what you’re saying, because when you’re down at the mat looking up at the ceiling lights, what will be next?
(Xavier drops his microphone down and begins his leave as ‘It Has Begun’ begins to play up through the speakers of the arena. Harlow simply smiles looking at Xavier before she drops her microphone down and leaves the ring as well. Both Sierra and Ximena look towards them with fury in their eyes, seeing them raise their Championships in the air and making their blood boil. It’s the last shot seen before Dynasty from there begins to fade to elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for Harlow Reichert & Xavier Williams versus Sierra & Ximena Velasquez for the Unified Tag Team Championships at House of Glass.)
(Dynasty comes back from commercial break to the arena as abruptly ‘The Beginning’ by ONE OK ROCK begins to blast through the speakers of the arena to the surprised cheers of the crowd. It isn’t long after that both Mary S. Atlas and Rebecca Blackwell from Voltage make their way out from the backstage area. They have nonchalant looks on their faces as they don’t waste any time doing any theatrics and begin to make their way down the ramp and towards the ring, both with microphones in their hands and all business.) practically oozing out of them.)
Stew-O: Well, I think we knew this was bound to happen at some point, Marybecca are on Friday Night Dynasty. I’m sure we know exactly why at this point, and it’s concerning both Lisa Wren & Kensi who have had it out for the two of them these past few weeks, and for good reason. After Lisa got injured by the two of them her and Kensi have been out for vengeance, they’ve called all the shots and made it known that they are going to be out for revenge. Which has led them to House of Glass coming in just a week’s time.
Flannery McCoy: And we can’t forget that earlier in the night along with the cesspool of matches that we have set for House of Glass, their tag team match has been revealed to be a 10,000 Shards match! It’s clear it’s going to be one hazardous environment when both of them step into the ring heading into Philadelphia but their fiery passion I bet will outweigh all.
Jake Mercer: Boo hoo, Lisa Wren got a little knick and now everyone is in a whole uproar. Cry me a river! If it was that bad she’d be gone for much longer, but really, it was only one match. Why are we making a deal over one match?! One match they didn’t even win?!?!?!?!?!?! If you ask me? I think we should all just go along with our day.
Flannery McCoy: I can guarantee you, Jake, absolutely nobody asked YOU!
Jake Mercer: :mjcry:
(Mary & Rebecca immediately slide into the ring, both of them making their way towards the center of the ring before turning around and facing the stage, both of them beginning to practically mirror each other as they intently pace around the ring. ‘The Beginning’ then begins to fade out from there as Rebecca begins to speak.)
Rebecca Blackwell: Kensi! Lisa! You said you wanted a home turf advantage right?! That the only way that you stuck-up bitches were going to face the two of us was on your own terms and that was going to be on your precious little Dynasty brand. Well guess what?! Here we are! We’re not waiting for House of Glass, we’re not waiting patiently for two people who just couldn’t keep their hands to themselves and mind their own business. We’re going to make sure you remember us beyond the fact that we’ve embedded into your heads the image of us injuring poor little Lisa. We’re going to beat the shit out of you whores and make sure that you get exactly what you deserve!
Mary S. Atlas: We’ve been disrespected and shoved down to the ground before and the fact of the matter is, that doesn’t go unnoticed in our eyes. We’re not just going to go quietly because the two of you decided to target us, if you want a fight, that’s exactly what you’re going to get! And you’re going to find out exactly what the two of you have gotten yourself into, because I assure you, both of us are not pushovers in the slightest. You’re going to have to KILL us in order to get your way, and especially considering the stipulation? That’s going to be a pretty tall task to accomplish. Both of us have been through hell, literally and figuratively, and the thing is… we’re still here! So the last thing I want to hear is the fact that both of you are going to exact your revenge, because as long as we have a say in the conclusion of this? That is absolutely not going to happen and we’re going to make sure of it.
Rebecca Blackwell: So what’s wrong, are the two of you scared? Because we’ve been calling you out this entire time and it seems like the both of you just refuse to come out. If so? That’s fine by me, just know, the only people getting embarrassed on their home brand at the moment… are the two of you-
(Before Rebecca can finish her sentence, her speech is quickly stopped due to ‘Flawless’ by Mega Drive blasting through the speakers, which transitions to ‘Sacrifice’ by Babe Rexha’ shortly after. Both members of Marybecca are hyped up upon seeing both Kensi and Lisa Wren make their way out to the stage. Kensi has an amused look on her face while Lisa has her arms crossed with an annoyed expression looking at the two people in the ring. It isn’t long after that ‘Sacrifice’ begins to fade out, both Lisa and Kensi slowly making their way down the ramp and to the ring with microphones in their hands.)
Kensi: My my! Look at the lack of manners being shown by the two people standing in that ring! How disappointing honestly, that the two of you would stoop as low as practically begging the two of us to come out here. Especially considering the charity work we’ve already done shutting the two of you up before you could continue rambling on at Voltage. I’m not shocked, not shocked at all if you want me to be honest with you. Both of you were always so uptight, too big for your britches, and never speaking with some truth in your words. Always thinking from a place of ego and never anywhere else don’t you think? Which is why we won’t even break a sweat at House of Glass, will we now? Because it’s all a matter of putting the two of you in your place, no problem, not at all!
Lisa Wren: Yeah I’m real sick and tired of hearing Thing One and Thing Two ramble on and on about some bullshit that nobody could give a damn about. Becky Inkwell can say all she wants while Perry mirrors her because she doesn’t got anything else to say, the two of you motherfuckers are not going to get away so easily with what you did. Taking the first shot and then turning it around to say that WE should’ve been the ones to mind our own business?! The audacity of these two caucasian pipsqueeks is absurd. Well let me turn around one of your statements in return, both of you don’t know for shit what you’ve gotten yourselves into. Because we’ve managed to lure you this far and now we’re going to beat the absolute stuffing out of you two to make sure that you remember that if you see the two of us? You’re better off not interfering, because it’ll end the same. Both of you laying on the ground in a battered heap because you ain’t know what you got yourselves into, Serves you two right.
(While Lisa speaks, Kensi begins to make her way up the steel steps, stepping onto the apron before entering into the ring. Lisa from there jumps up onto the apron and enters into the ring, both of them looking at the two of them while Marybecca are clearly at their wit’s end. Kensi raises an eyebrow and looks at them with a sarcastic pouting look.)
Kensi: Aw… What’s wrong?! Cat got your tongue? It’s real cute how the two of you were yelling your lungs out earlier and now, dead silent. We don’t bite, unlike you two, we have sophistication. So come on, what are you waiting for?
Rebecca Blackwell: Nothing, just thinking…
Lisa Wren: We don’t got all day, Becky.
Mary S. Atlas: Thinking about how we’re going to beat your asses.
Stew-O: MARY JUST LUNGED FORWARD AND TACKLED LISA DOWN TO THE GROUND, WHILE REBECCA SENDS A SHOT TOWARDS THE HEAD OF KENSI TAKING HER BY SURPRISE AND DROPPING HER DOWN TO A KNEE! THE SURPRISE ATTACK BY MARYBECCA HAS LEFT BOTH LISA AND KENSI COMPLETELY OFF GUARD AS BOTH OF THEM TRY TO FEND THEM OFF!
Flannery McCoy: LISA SHOVING MARY OUT OF THE WAY, RUNNING TOWARDS REBECCA LOOKING TO SAVE HER PARTNER BY TAKING REBECCA DOWN! BUT MARY QUICKLY GRABS HER BY HER HAIR BEFORE SENDING HER OUT OF THE RING, TAKING HER OUT OF COMMISSION FOR THE TIME BEING! BOTH OF THEM HAVE ZERO TIME TO SPARE, DAVEY JONES 2 MARYLAND TOWARDS KENSI! DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER BULL HAMMER ELBOW STRIKE COMBO TAKES HER OUT! WHILE LISA ROLLS BACK INTO THE RING!
Jake Mercer: SUPERKICK BY MARY DROPS LISA DOWN TO A KNEE! BEFORE REBECCA RUNS TO THE ROPES AND DROPS LISA DOWN WITH AN AXE KICK! SCORPIO HEADSHOT CONNECTS! A STATEMENT MADE BY MARYBECCA HEADED TO THE GO HOME SHOW! IS THIS WHAT WE’LL BE SEEING AT HOUSE OF GLASS?!
(Mary & Rebecca look down at the completely despondent corpses of Lisa and Kensi with rage in their eyes. Both of them look up, while ‘The Beginning’ begins to blast through the speakers. They raise both of their hands in the air before Mary, followed by Rebecca, begin to take their leave. It’s the last shot seen before Dynasty fades to commercial break from there.)
(A commercial is shown for Lisa Wren & Kensi versus Marybecca at House of Glass.)
(The camera cuts to Stephie Love in the ring.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(“She’s a Bitch” by Missy Elliot hits to cheers from the crowd.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first from Los Angeles, California weighing in at 157 pounds she is “The Bone Collector” DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STOOOOOOOOOOOOOONEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
(Domino Stone comes out looking ready to cause some pain and make some money.)
Flannery McCoy: Domino Stone is taking EAW by storm and it is always exciting to see her rise through the ranks like this.
Stew-O: Agreed she is one of my favorite young performers in the company but we will have to see where her skills take her. I feel she could go all the way!
Jake Mercer: But the question is… is Domino good enough to handle her opponent’s immense drip?
(‘Can’t Tell Me Nothing’ by Kanye West hits to boos from the crowd.)
Stephie Love: And her opponent also from Los Angeles, California weighing in at 215 pounds he is “The Marhsal of Magnificence” JOHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNYYYYYYYYY ANDRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREWWWWWWWWWWSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
(Johnny Andrews comes out with so much drip that the crowd just doesn’t know how to handle it.)
Flannery McCoy: Damn they both from Los Angeles this going to be a battle of two people coming from the same home turf.
Stew-O: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL and it is for the EAW California Championship!!!
Jake Mercer: Oh god that would be the most worthless title EAW has had yet don’t speak of it again.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Flannery McCoy: We are underway as Domino Stone and Johnny Andrews lock up in the ring with intensity!!! Fighting for position before Johnny wrenches the arm of Domino around yanking on that shit but Domino twirls beneath the arm and bends backwards to the mat rolling up to get out of the armbar and transitions over to takedown Johnny into a Headlock. Great mat wrestling technique there from Domino as she puts Johnny down on his back. Johnny whips his long legs around to pull Domino up into a scissor lock forcing the hold to be broken and twisting her to the mat crushing Domino’s face between his legs. But Domino rolls back up flipping over the legs into a pinning combination!
Referee: ONNNNNNNNNNNNN-
Stew-O: Johnny Andrews immediately releases the scissor hold which breaks up the pin as both competitors get back up. Domino Stone charges in but Johnny Andrews counters it up into a headlock trapping her once again. Domino trying to fight out of it but Johnny uses his legs to circle around the ring in an attempt to keep it applies. Domino tries to batter the face of Johnny to break the hold eventually turning it over onto his side with Johnny’s shoulders down! The cover! But Johnny immediately breaks up the hold before the referee can even get into position for the count. Both competitors back up as they acknowledge each other’s skills thus far in the match before locking up again. Domino whips Johnny off the ropes but he returns with a running Shoulder Block knocking her to the ground. Domino back up! SUPERKICK!!! No! Johnny blocks it grabbing the leg before it can connec-
Jake Mercer: BUT DOMINO STONE WITH AN ENZUIGIRI TAKING DOWN JOHNNY ANDREWS!!! Domino grabs the hair of Johnny and smashes his head back into the ground!!! But Johnny rolls her up from behind!!!

Flannery McCoy: Kickout by Domino Stone as Johnny Andrews nearly stole one right there!!! Both competitors back up as Johnny immediately drops Domino with a Spinning Back Fist!!!

Johnny swings around the turnbuckle and connects with a Tiger Feint Kick sending Domino flying back into the ring!

Stew-O: But Domino Stone kicks out yet again! Johnny Andrews immediately back on the attack driving his knees down hard into the arm of Domino! Johnny trying to break her arm here tonight! The audacity! But Domino moves her arms out of the way and Johnny’s legs connect with the mat! Damn that looked painful as Domino rolls out of the way to safety! Johnny is pissed now as he stalks Domino across the ring into the corner… but Domino reverses and slams Johnny’s head into the corner! Domino now unloading on her opponent repeatedly in the corner with punches and kicks getting some real damage done there. She keeps going to the point the referee has to intervene… Johnny staggers out of the corner… but eats a Spinning Heel Kick from Domino!!! Down goes Johnny as Domino runs the ropes and connects with a Falling Closed Fist Punch right to the face of Johnny on the mat! Damn that velocity falling with her fist may have been enough to put Johnny down once and for all! The cover!

Stew-O: Holy shit tho! Johnny Andrews just barely got the shoulder up in time! Domino Stone was convinced she had won this thing right then and there!!!

The cover!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Kickout from Domino Stone as she immediately rolls back up and staggers Johnny Andrews back against the ropes with a Pele Kick! Andrews falls back as Domino uses the momentum to lift him up onto her back and drives him down on her knee with a Go To Sleep!!! Domino just knocked Andrews the fuck out! But she’s not done yet! She won’t be letting the homie kick out yet again! Domino pulls Andrews up and gets him in an upside down position for a neck crank/backbreaker! Domino looking to end things right here real quick!!!
Flannery McCoy: MATADORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: NO! JOHNNY ANDREWS COUNTERS OUTTA NOWHERE!!! HE TURNS IT INTO THE SKULL CRACKER!!! FUTURE SHOCK DDT OUTTA NOWHERE! OUTTA THE FUTURE! LOOKING LIKE A W IN HE FUTURE AS WELL! THE COVER!!!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHNNNNNNNNNYYYYYYYYY ANDRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREWSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Can’t Tell Me Nothing’ by Kanye West hits to boos from the crowd as Johnny Andrews has his arm raised but pulls it away from the referee telling him not to touch him.)
Flannery McCoy: Big win this week for Johnny Andrews! But you have to imagine that Domino Stone was on the verge of winning there if she had hit that big Matador at the end!
Stew-O: I guess we will never know because it never happened. But props to Johnny Andrews for avoiding that fate regardless!
Jake Mercer: Of course someone with drip like Johnny would never be beaten in the EAW ring! He can’t be touched and he is just going to keep winning and winning and winning and you will all be tired of him winning but he will continue to do so!
(The camera cuts to a commercial featuring raw uncut footage of the steamy DMs shared this week between Lucas Johnson and Kendra Shamez.)
(The camera pans to the ring where Stephie Love is standing by with a mic.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce at this time, Dynasty’s newest acquisition…. DR. BETHANY BLUE!
(‘Somebody Get Me A Doctor’ by Van Halen starts to play throughout the arena as the crowd in Puerto Rico mostly cheer, a few boo. She walks out in her street clothes, looking around, cracking a smirk before heading to the ring.)
Stew-O: The Doctor is here, and she has some things to get off her chest and after finding out earlier that she will be in a Glass Ball Pit Match, we all know she is definitely going to have a lot to say about it against Terry Chambers at House of Glass!
Flannery McCoy: She really does, and we all know that she’s not happy about the trade in the sense she feels her value and worth was more, but I don’t think that Bethany realizes just what a steal it was for us to get her here and she has a lot to prove after Territorial Invasion losing the Specialists Championship which we all know that match and stipulation blew up in her face.
Jake Mercer: And that right there Flannery is why she is so dangerous right now, she needs to make a statement at House of Glass, and she is on a roaring start after defeating Harlow Reichert last week, this is her road back to the top, House of Glass will be her next step!
(Bethany finally gets to the ring, she is given the mic by Stephie Love just as the Good Doctor reaches into her pocket and gives her a temperature check, she nods that all is good as Stephie leaves the ring.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: Puerto Rico! LA DOCTORA ESTA AQUI!
(The crowd breaks out and roars, cheering at her perfect Spanish.)
Flannery McCoy: Bethany grew up in Miami, Florida, she has a private practice in Boca Raton just north of Miami, she has been living in the Spanish community for a long time, so it is only fitting she can speak it.
Jake Mercer: Only makes her even more appealing.
Stew-O: Bethany is definitely looking ready for House of Glass.
(The Doctor paces the ring for a second, before looking into the camera.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: Being traded to Dynasty was a dream come true, I know that this is all cliché, but while on Showdown I felt like a prisoner because truth be told, my talent and just how good I am in this ring? Haunts me. I was never really given a chance to climb the ladder of success, it was always taking a few steps forward, then get thrown right back down a few steps back, I couldn’t get any traction whatsoever and it sucked. Now, am I thrilled my trade value was Jonny Airhart? No, everyone here knows, and so does StarrStan I am worth 50 Jonny Airhart’s, thank goodness they can’t clone him. But enough of that, I am here now on the Red Brand, and I cannot and will not allow this opportunity at turning a new leaf fall to the wayside. I have been through a lot, my boyfriend will be here tomorrow night wrestling in front of all you and he is the one thing I miss most about the Blue Brand, but we must move on. When I walked into StarrStan’s office, it was a breath of fresh air, I knew that I was given a second chance after that fuckery at Territorial Invasion. Time to move past that and look into the future. So, I was pacing backstage, wondering what my next move would be and then I remembered the greatest challenge I ever has in my young career…. Terry Chambers.
(At the sound of his name, the crowd throws up a huge pop. She nods in approval.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: Absolutely, he deserves that. I attacked Terry drawing his ire and wanting to fight me at House of Glass, so I gladly accepted, this was step one. Last week I had my first match against one of the best pure wrestlers in the sport, Harlow Reichert, and I came out on top, I needed that after the last month or so. That was step 2. After everything we have been through, and the crazy rollercoaster ride the last few weeks with House of Glass next weekend? My plans are to get the last word when it comes to my match against Terry and House of Glass. At the beginning of the show StarrStan announced the House of Glass stipulations for all the matches, including my own and while I don’t really know what a Glass Ball Pit match is at all, sounds like a Chuck E’ Cheese from Hell, I know for certain that I have been through worse throughout my career. I have been beaten, bloodied, electrocuted, left for dead, and anything you can humanly think about it, and while it is the unknown, a ball pit definitely won’t be the worst she’s been through, or at least I don’t think so, but I have treated many glass cuts and lacerations in the past, it is no joke. Terry Chambers though is a fighter, he had a few derogatory things to say about me in his promo and hey, I get it, I made him angry, so he will give me a fight to remember, but regardless of that, regardless of the stipulation, Terry is in for one hell of a judgement day but honestly, that’s something he should know already seeing our history together.
(Pausing for a moment while the crowd cheers, Bethany takes a second to think about what she is ahead and how had to make an immediate impact on Dynasty.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: Terry Chambers and I have had our wars, and it culminated at Wicked Games 2019. Remember that, Terry when we were the opening contest of the night to kick it off in the Stretcher Match between the two of us in a rematch for the Interwire Championship, like when I sliced you back then before you became Jack LaLane in your fat rolls and beat you to a bloody pulp and all that good stuff, all this after you basically pummeled me from pillar to post, but the coup de grace is that its satisfying to know that both of us were hit by an ambulance in the end and we were both clearly incapable of competing yet despite that I managed to roll off the stretcher and stand tall, so who was better? I know… I know…. There was a lot of fuckery in that match as well, you could even say Nurse Goldstein was involved a lot then, but I think we both know even with no rules, all was fair in love and war, which is why I revel in this opportunity know, to prove once and for all I don’t need anyone to defeat Terry Chambers. These moments are a telltale, It shows how far Terry is going to have to go, he’s going to have to kill me, and I don’t know if you haven’t notice? I’m, pretty fucking hard to kill.
(The crowd erupts after she says that, looking out at them with a smirk on her face.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: I don’t expect much to be different, especially considering my goals, desires and mindset heading into House of Glass, for I am dead set on victory and one way or another, it’s going to be proven for certain that I will always have Terry’s number. All I want now is to certify that as the perfect beginning to my Friday Night Dynasty run along with giving Terry the homecoming he deserves after his return to the ring.
???: Is that so?
(The crowd begins to cheer loudly as the titantron transitions from the Dynasty graphic to an area of the backstage area. Terry Chambers is seen in front of a camera with an unamused look on his face while Bethany simply smirks, expecting Terry to pop his head up and speak his mind.)
Terry Chambers: Both of us have something to prove heading into House of Glass and it’s clear we’re going to do everything to make sure that we accomplish it. But one common misconception that you have about me, Bethany, is the belief that the Terry Chambers from Wicked Games 2019 is the same one that you’ll be seeing inside the ring next week, it doesn’t work like that. Because it’s clear the immense growth that has happened for me since then and I have grown to bigger and better heights, more than ever imagined. So you can hold that above your head all you want, just know you shouldn’t really expect things to be the same this time around, especially considering how hungry I am heading into Philadelphia.
Terry Chambers: But case in point, and most importantly, expect the unexpected. You never know until you let your guard down and let the cold, harsh reality hit you right against the side of your skull like a blunt shovel. Speaking of, maybe you could say the same for tonight. Seeing as this video that’s being recorded? Was recorded earlier in the night, two steps ahead.
(The crowd begins to erupt as Bethany looks at the titantron in confusement, raising her eyebrow before beginning to look around. In an instant, the image of Terry shuts off.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: (Off-Mic) What-
Stew-O: FROM BEHIND! BETHANY TURNS AROUND AND IS MET WITH A SWIFT RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE TO HER FACE! CLAYMORE KICK BY TERRY COMPLETELY DROPS HER DOWN TO THE MAT, WHAT A SWERVE! TERRY CHAMBERS HAS ARRIVED! AND HE’S MADE ONE HELL OF A STATEMENT!
(Terry kips back up to his feet and looks down at the unconscious body of Dr. Bethany Blue. He simply begins to crouch down, looking down at her and beginning to speak.)
Terry Chambers: (Off-Mic) House of Glass… I’m holding nothing back. I hope you’re ready to do the same, see you then.
(‘Natural’ by Imagine Dragons plays up as the crowd begins to cheer for Terry. Terry gets back up to his feet and spreads his arms out, hyping the crowd up with a smile as it’s the last shot seen before Dynasty from there begins to fade to elsewhere from there.)
(Dynasty comes back to the backstage area of the arena. From there, Michael Belfort is seen standing by with a smile on his face. He has an EAW styled backdrop behind him and he looks ready to conduct an interview at the moment. He grips his microphone in his hand as he begins to speak from there.)
Michael Belfort: What a star-studded show we’ve had so far on Friday Night Dynasty, but the fun isn’t done just yet! Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome at this time… Jack Ripley.
(The crowd begins to roar in support and approval upon seeing none other than Jack Ripley come in. He has a slight smile on his face as he looks towards Micharl and nods his head before Michael begins to continue.)
Michael Belfort: Now of course, Jack, we know House of Glass is on the horizon and on the Free-Per-View you will be having a match against a renewed rival in the form of the former Interwire Champion, Bronson Daniels. Can you tell me how you’re feeling heading into this match?
(Jack’s expression of positivity turns to practical despair as he sighs before rubbing his temple.)
Jack Ripley: Am I supposed to be thrilled? All offense intended, who in their right mind would choose Bronson Daniels over me? It’s a no-brainer how this match is going to go, and although I could’ve easily declined it and moved on to greener pastures… It’s apparent that he wasn’t going to get off my back due to sheer incompetence and a God complex that refuses to admit that he did anything wrong. He was going to continue to run his mouth on and on, and the only way I was going to get him to shut up… was to clear the air and beat his ass for a third time. Let that simmer for a moment because that’s the most important part of this entire dialogue, a third time. A third time because he couldn’t keep his mouth shut, a third time because he couldn’t keep his ego in check, and a third time because he continues this repeated notion that he’s more than what he actually is. But the reality is, that’s just not the case, it will never be the case. Bronson Daniels will never even come close to the upper echelon and it’s apparent that he’ll never even be on the cusp of World Championship gold in his entire career. So why are we continuing to entertain him and give him what he wants? I don’t know at this point, but I’m going to make sure that he knows exactly where he stands in EAW, and that’s underneath a concrete ceiling.
Michael Belfort: Well, earlier in the night StarrStan announced stipulations for the House of Glass matches being conducted next week. He revealed that you two would be fighting under Glass Weapons implications, do you think that factors into the decision in any sort of way?
(Jack rolls his eyes upon hearing that, shaking his head while Michael looks ever so slightly intimidated by his response.)
Jack Ripley: Let me ask you, what do you think? In your honest opinion, do you think fighting in a Glass Weapons match will make any sort of difference? The answer, is absolutely not. In case you didn’t realize, both me and Bronson have never fought in normal implications in the first place. The first time was in the Extreme Elimination Chamber, and the second was a Falls Count Anywhere match. Both times, I stood on top with the Answers World Championship raised high in the air. I’ve shown multiple times in the past that despite whatever obstacles Elite Answers Wrestling managed to throw at me, I’ve always managed to jump over those hurdles and overcome the situation I’m in. So this? Far from the hardest thing I’ve been able to sustain, undoubtedly, because let’s be real, it’s Bronson Daniels. Glass Weapons or not, it ends the same, I still come out on top and continue the pathway that I know is rightfully deserved for someone like me… going up from here. Of course, unless some other little nuisance decides to come around and bicker me for shit that isn’t fully my problem. Only time will tell, and it’s unpredictable.
Michael Belfort: You’re clearly going all in with betting odds towards yourself, if there is anyone that knows how to gamble it’s you :troll:. But tell me, win or lose, I’m not picking sides, what’s the next step in the career of ‘The Straight Shooter?” There are a lot of options in such a vast landscape like EAW, which is what makes it so special. But what do you have your eyes fixated on right now?
Jack Ripley: Who knows in all actuality. We can never really truly dictate how our future goes, just take the necessary steps to get there in some capacity. Once I do beat Bronson though and cut the dead weight, it’s apparent I’m going to head to greener pastures. At the start of the Season I was unsuccessful in my journey towards being a midcard Grand Slam, who knows, I might just take another shot at that so far. I’ve proved more than once this Season that I have Xander Payne’s number, maybe depending on who wins, though it doesn’t really matter, I’ll seek out becoming a 2-time World Champion. There’s a lot of doors that have been opened and it’s up to me to show exactly what I’m made of. So what I’m going to do? Is keep being Jack Ripley, more than anyone can say they’ll ever be. Thanks for having me.
Michael Belfort: All the thanks goes to you, Jack. Thank you for joining us tonight.
(Jack makes his way out of the scene while Michael looks at the camera with a smile on his face. But before it can fade to black it transitions to a television screen showing the exact interview that just happened. Panning out it reveals none other than Bronson Daniels watching the interview. He has his arms crossed and a disgruntled look on his face while he looks away from the screen and begins to make his way out of the locker room, muttering only a few words to himself that are heard by the camera.)
Bronson Daniels: He’s fucked.
(Bronson then makes his leave as from there, Dynasty then begins to transition to elsewhere.)
(Dynasty fades to ringside, and Stephie Love is seen with a microphone in her hand.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen…. The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
(The lights go dark, and various images show up on the titantron. ‘The Triumph of King Freak (A Crypt of Preservation and Superstition)’ by Rob Zombie hits as the lights turn on, and the crowd immediately begins booing as loud as they can as Solomon Stane slowly makes his way out, ignoring the crowd reaction completely. Solomon makes his way down to the ring, and some of the kids in the front row are seen a bit afraid as Solomon walks past them, obviously intimidated by the 6’5, 300 pound man.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first…. From Las Vegas, Nevada… Weighing in at 300 pounds…. SOOLLLOOOOOONNN STTAAAANNNEEEEE!!!!!
Stew-O: This is definitely going to be an interesting match! We have two big guys going at it, and while Solomon Stane doesn’t have the experience on his side, he does have the weight advantage! This could definitely go his way, even if it’s considered an upset!
Jake Mercer: This is what I like to see! Who needs five star classics when we have two big meaty men!?
Flannery McCoy: ?
Jake Mercer: :drakelike: This is wrestling as far as I’m concerned. We need more of this. If they’re under 250 pounds, I don’t wanna see ‘em.
(Solomon Stane can be seen laughing in his corner, until ‘Natural’ by Imagine Dragons hits. The crowd immediately begins cheering as loud as they can, and soon after Terry Chambers begins to walk out to the stage. Terry has a focused look on his face as he stares at Solomon Stane, and the former World Champion begins making his way down to the ring, clearly ready to get this match over with. Solomon Stane doesn’t look intimidated at all, but neither does Terry, who’s actually the taller man in this ma toh by only two inches.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent… Residing in Los Angeles, California… Weighing in at 257 pounds…. TTEEERRYYYYYY CHHAAAAMMMMBBEERRRSSSS!!!!!!
Stew-O: It’s no secret that things haven’t been the best for Terry lately, but I think some of the blame can be put on Dr. Bethany Blue after what she did to him. I’m sure she’ll be watching this one, and I know for a fact Terry doesn’t want a loss tonight.
Jake Mercer: Nobody ever wants to lose, but I see what you mean. If there’s any time where Terry needs to get back on the winning side of things, it’s right now.
Flannery McCoy: Terry Chambers is extremely talented and we’ve been seeing that for years. Things could definitely go his way tonight, but who knows? Either way, this match won’t be easy for either man.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: And here we go! Terry Chambers versus Solomon Stane, and I can just tell this is going to be a good one! Neither man has moved out of the corner, and it looks like they’re waiting to see who’ll strike first! I can’t really blame them either. They’re both very big guys, and that just means that their hits are going to hurt, way more than they would for most people on the roster! They both need to pick the right moment to attack, and while Terry may have way more experience in EAW than Solomon, a good start could easily lead to an upset-
Jake Mercer: WAIT! BOTH MEN BURST OUT OF THEIR RESPECTIVE CORNERS BEFORE CHARGING AT EACH OTHER- AND THEY BOTH JUST WENT FOR CLOTHESLINES, BUT NEITHER MAN WAS TAKEN DOWN! BOTH MEN NOW RUNNING OFF OF OPPOSITE PAIRS OF ROPES, BEFORE RUNNING INTO EACH OTHER ONCE AGAIN WITH CLOTHESLINES! THEY STILL DIDN’T FALL! NEITHER MAN WAS TAKEN DOWN! SOLOMON STANE NOW LOOKING TO RUN THE ROPES- BUT THIS TIME TERRY CHAMBERS FOLLOWS HIM, CHARGING IN AND DELIVERING A HUGE FOREARM! That’s the experience of Terry coming into play, changing up his gameplan!
Flannery McCoy: TERRY NOW GRABS SOLOMON STANE BEFORE PULLING HIM INTO A DOUBLE UNDERHOOK FRONT FACELOCK, AND NOW HE GOES FOR THE CHAMBERS OF PAIN- NO! SOLOMON STANE RUSHES INTO THE CORNER, RAMMING TERRY INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! Terry drops down into a seated position in the corner as Solomon Stane backs up, AND NOW SOLOMON CHARGES IN BEFORE HITTING TERRY WITH A RUNNING CANNONBALL! These two are starting off with some pretty big moves, and now I think Solomon’s looking to capitalize off of that cannonball as Terry gets back up! SOLOMON LIFTS TERRY UP INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY! KEY OF SOLOM-
Stew-O: NO! TERRY SLIPS OUT OF SOLOMON’S GRASP BEFORE PUSHING HIM THROUGH THE ROPES AND OUT OF THE RING! SOLOMON WAS JUST SENT THROUGH THE ROPES AND OUT TO RINGSIDE, AND NOW TERRY CHAMBERS ISN’T WASTING ANY TIME RUNNING THE ROPES! SOLOMON STANE QUICKLY MAKES IT BACK UP TO HIS FEET, BUT I DON’T THINK THAT’S A GOOD THING IN THIS CASE, BECAUSE TERRY CHAMBERS NOW DIVES OVER THE TOP ROPE! TOPE CON HILO TO SOLOMON STANE!!! THAT’S NOT A MOVE YOU SEE VERY OFTEN FROM TERRY, BUT THE CROWD SEEMS TO LOVE WHAT THEY’RE SEEING RIGHT NOW!
Jake Mercer: Terry Chambers pulls Solomon Stane up before sending him back into the ring, and Terry quickly follows behind before backing into the corner! Terry’s waiting for Solomon Stane to make it back to his feet, and it looks like Solomon’s slowly doing just that as he begins to get back up! This could be bad for Solomon though, because Terry clearly has something planned! Solomon now turning towards Terry, AND NOW TERRY CHARGES IN- BUT SOLOMON QUICKLY STEPS FORWARD BEFORE LIFTING TERRY CHAMBERS OVER HIM WITH A BACK BODY DROP!! SOLOMON GRABBING ONTO THE ROPES TO STAY ON HIS FEET, BUT HE MIGHT HAVE JUST SAVED HIS CHANCES IN THIS MATCH!
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, judging by Terry’s surprise when Solomon moved towards him, I think Terry might’ve been looking for the Random Act of Violence! Solomon Stane grabs Terry though, AND NOW HE LIFTS THE 6’7 GIANT UP BEFORE DROPPING HIM WITH A SIT-OUT POWERBOMB!! THERE’S THE FIRST COVER OF THE MATCH NOW BY SOLOMON STANE, AND I CAN’T BLAME HIM FOR TRYING AFTER THOSE TWO BIG MOVES BACK TO BACK!
ONE!
TWO!!
Flannery McCoy: AND TERRY KICKS OUT!!! TERRY CHAMBERS SURVIVES THE POWERBOMB! Solomon Stane quickly gets back to his feet, and I think Solomon is understanding that this match won’t be too easy!
Stew-O: Terry Chambers is slowly getting to his knees, BUT SOLOMON QUICKLY GRABS HIM AND PULLS HIM INTO A GUILLOTINE CHOKE!!! SOLOMON PULLS TERRY DOWN TO THE MAT, AND SOLOMON NOW HAS A GROUNDED GUILLOTINE CHOKE APPLIED! THAT’S NOT THE TYPE OF MOVE I’D EXPECT FROM SOMEONE THE SIZE OF SOLOMON STANE IN A MATCH LIKE THIS, BUT SOLOMON’S DOING WHATEVER HE CAN TO TAKE TERRY DOWN! TERRY CHAMBERS IS STRUGGLING TO GET OUT OF THE SUBMISSION, COULD THIS BE THE END OF THE MATCH!?
Jake Mercer: Of course he’s struggling! Solomon is 6’5 and 300 pounds! Terry Chambers is trying to get out of this submission, but it’s not gonna be easy for him knowing the size of Solomon! This match could very well end in Solomon’s favor, and this match has not lasted long at all! It wouldn’t be the popular decision at all and I definitely don’t think people would be satisfied seeing a match between two monsters ending like this, but come on! How is Terry supposed to get out of this? It’s really not that simple, and I can’t blame Terry if he were to tap out right now!
Flannery McCoy: WAIT! I DON’T THINK TERRY’S LOOKING TO TAP OUT! TERRY’S PULLING HIMSELF UP TO HIS FEET WHILE HOLDING ONTO THE 300 POUND SOLOMON STANE!!! TERRY NOW CHARGES INTO THE CORNER, SLAMMING SOLOMON INTO THE TURNBUCKLES AND FORCING SOLOMON TO LET GO OF THE GUILLOTINE CHOKE! TERRY CHAMBERS SURVIVES THE GUILLOTINE CHOKE, BUT HE DOESN’T STOP THERE! TERRY GRABS SOLOMON STANE, BEFORE SENDING HIM ACROSS THE RING WITH AN OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY! WOW!! HOW DID TERRY CHAMBERS EVEN PULL THAT OFF!? THAT WAS SUCH AN AMAZING FEAT OF STRENGTH!
Stew-O: Solomon Stane is pulling himself up in the opposite corner, AND NOW TERRY CHAMBERS CHARGES IN BEFORE DELIVERING A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE, AND I’M SURPRISED THAT DIDN’T DESTROY THE TOP TURNBUCKLE COMPLETELY! Terry Chambers now lifts Solomon Stane up onto the top rope, and I’m not liking this one bit! Terry’s clearly looking for something big, but in the process he might very well destroy the entire ring, and we can’t have that when there’s still more matches to come! These two couldn’t seem to care less though. They’re just here to win this match, and that might mean sacrificing this entire ring in the process!
Jake Mercer: TERRY CHAMBERS IS CLIMBING UP TO JOIN SOLOMON STANE ON THE TOP ROPE, AND I THINK TERRY IS ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR A SUPERPLEX!! TERRY’S GETTING IN POSITION AS HE HOOKS THE ARM- BUT WAIT!!! SOLOMON STANE CAME TO HIS SENSES, AND HE JUST SHOVED TERRY OFF OF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND OUT TO RINGSIDE!!! TERRY JUST CRASHED DOWN TO RINGSIDE THANKS TO SOLOMON STANE, WHO DEFINITELY JUST SAVED HIMSELF AND HIS CHANCES TONIGHT!! THAT WAS AN EXTREMELY CLOSE CALL, AND NOW IT’S TERRY THAT’S IN TROUBLE AFTER FALLING FROM SUCH A HEIGHT!
Flannery McCoy: Terry Chambers is slowly trying to use the barricade to pull himself up to his feet, but you can see that the fall he just took hurt him badly! That was a pretty high place to crash from, but it looks like Solomon Stane is preparing for something! Much like Terry, you don’t usually see this man looking for aerial moves, but this is a pretty big match for Solomon and I think this man knows that he’s gonna have to pull some big moves out of his arsenal if he wants to capture the victory! Terry now back on his feet, AND SOLOMON DIVES!!!
Stew-O: RIGHT INTO A BIG BOOT BY THE FORMER EAW WORLD CHAMPION!!! TERRY CHAMBERS JUST HIT SOLOMON WITH A BIG BOOT, TAKING SOLOMON RIGHT OUT OF THE SKY!! TERRY ISN’T FINISHED THERE THOUGH, AS HE IMMEDIATELY PICKS SOLOMON UP BEFORE PULLING HIM INTO A SUPLEX POSITION, AND DROPPING SOLOMON SPINE FIRST ONTO THE EDGE OF THE RING APRON! TERRY JUST SUPLEXED SOLOMON SPINE FIRST ONTO THE EDGE OF THE HARDEST PART OF THE RING, AND I CAN’T EVEN IMAGINE HOW PAINFUL THAT MUST BE! THAT’S THE LAST THING SOLOMON NEEDED RIGHT NOW!
Jake Mercer: Terry Chambers is laying waste to Solomon, and I don’t think he’s done just yet! Terry pulls Solomon up, ONLY BEFORE RAMMING SOLOMON BACK FIRST INTO THE RING POST! Solomon Stane is hurting, and now he’s trying to use the ring apron to pull himself back up to his feet, BUT TERRY GRABS HIM BEFORE SENDING HIM CRASHING INTO THE BARRICADE, AND THAT BARRICADE HAD TO BE ON THE VERGE OF BREAKING! Those fans in the front row are extremely lucky right now, because had Terry thrown Solomon with any more force there’s no way it wouldn’t have broken!
Flannery McCoy: Terry Chambers sends Solomon Stane back into the ring now before following behind, and right now Terry’s in firm control of this match! That’s not good for Solomon at all, and there might not be anything Solomon could do in a few moments! TERRY CHAMBERS PULLS SOLOMON UP BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY, AND AFTER THAT HUGE BEATDOWN OUTSIDE OF THE RING I DON’T KNOW HOW THIS DOESN’T END THE MATCH! TERRY CHAMBERS NOW LOOKING TO PUT THIS MATCH TO AN END AND ADD ANOTHER WIN TO HIS RECORD, WITH THE T-5-
Stew-O: NO! SOLOMON STANE MANAGES TO DELIVER AN ELBOW TO TERRY’S HEAD! SOLOMON WITH ANOTHER ELBOW! AND ANOTHER! SOLOMON IS REPEATEDLY ELBOWING THE SIDE OF TERRY’S HEAD, AND NOW TERRY LOSES HIS GRASP ON SOLOMON, ALLOWING SOLOMON TO DROP BACK DOWN TO HIS FEET! NOW IT’S SOLOMON GRABBING TERRY, AND HE DELIVERS THE SPINNING SPINEBUSTER!! THE SHINING LIGHT CONNECTS!!! SOLOMON STANE CONNECTS WITH THE SHINING LIGHT, AND NOW HE QUICKLY PULLS HIMSELF ON TOP OF TERRY FOR THE COVER! THIS MIGHT BE IT!!! SOLOMON STANE MIGHT HAVE JUST SCORED THE BIGGEST VICTORY OF HIS CAREER WITH A WIN OVER TERRY CHAMBERS!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THR-
Jake Mercer: TERRY CHAMBERS GETS THE SHOULDER UP!!! TERRY CHAMBERS MANAGED TO SURVIVE THE SHINING LIGHT!!! TERRY CHAMBERS IS STILL IN THIS MATCH AND SOLOMON STANE IS…. Laughing? Solomon Stane just got back to his feet, and he’s just laughing after seeing Terry Chambers kick out of one of his biggest moves! I thought Solomon would be a bit more shocked, or worried knowing that Terry Chambers managed to survive, but instead Solomon seems to find this funny! I’m not too sure if laughter is how I’d approach this, but- WAIT WAIT WAIT! SOLOMON WITH A RUNNING SENTON TO TERRY CHAMBERS!!!
Flannery McCoy: Solomon just dropped a huge senton on Terry, and he’s not laughing anymore! Solomon pulls Terry Chambers back up, AND HE SENDS HIM INTO THE TURNBUCKLES BEFORE CHARGING IN AND DELIVERING A HUGE RUNNING SPLASH! SOLOMON STANE NOW SENDING TERRY OUT OF THE CORNER, AND NOW SOLOMON RUNS THE ROPES BEFORE DELIVERING A HUGE LARIA- WAIT NO! TERRY CHAMBERS CAME TO HIS SENSES AND WENT FOR A CLOTHESLINE AT THE SAME TIME, AND UNLIKE THE BEGINNING OF THE MATCH, BOTH MEN DROPPED TO THE MAT! BOTH TERRY AND SOLOMON TOOK EACH OTHER TO THE MAT!
Stew-O: Both men start to get back up to their feet, AND NOW BOTH OF THEM HIT EACH OTHER WITH A HUGE FOREARM AT THE SAME TIME, CAUSING THEM BOTH TO STUMBLE BACK AND BOUNCE OFF OF THE ROPES! SOLOMON STANE NOW LOOKING FOR A HUGE BOOT, BUT TERRY CHAMBERS INSTEAD POPS SOLOMON UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS, AND DROPS SOLOMON WITH A SIT-OUT POWERBOMB! TERRY NOW GOING FOR THE COVER ON SOLOMON STANE!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THR-
Stew-O: SOLOMON STANE MANAGES TO KICK OUT BEFORE THREE! ONCE AGAIN THIS MATCH WAS NEARLY OVER, BUT NO! IT’S STILL ON! THESE TWO ARE STILL GOING!
Jake Mercer: Terry Chambers slowly makes it back up to his feet, and you’ve gotta wonder how he’s feeling knowing that this match just won’t end! Terry Chambers slowly pulls Solomon back up to his feet before kicking him in the stomach, AND TERRY ATTEMPTS TO LIFT SOLOMON UP FOR ANOTHER POWERBOMB, BUT SOLOMON PUNCHES TERRY IN THE SIDE BEFORE DELIVERING A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX, QUICKLY DROPPING TERRY TO THE MAT! BOTH MEN ARE DOWN, BUT SOLOMON GRABS ONTO THE ROPES, USING THEM TO HELP HIM MAKE IT BACK TO HIS FEET AS TERRY BEGINS TO GET BACK UP!
Flannery McCoy: SOLOMON STANE CHARGES IN, AND HE HITS TERRY CHAMBERS WITH A BIG BOOT TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD, SENDING TERRY INTO THE ROPES! Terry’s fallen down and is leaning on the middle rope, and now it’s Solomon looking to take advantage as he begins choking Terry using the rope!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIV-
Flannery McCoy: Solomon pulls Terry off of the ropes, BUT ONLY BEFORE LOCKING IN A STANDING SLEEPER HOLD ON TERRY! SOLOMON’S LOOKING TO CHOKE TERRY OUT, AND AFTER ALREADY USING THE ROPES TO ASSIST HIM MOMENTS AGO HE MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE OF BEING SUCCESSFUL AT THAT!
Stew-O: NO! TERRY CHAMBERS BACKPEDALS INTO THE CORNER AND CAUSES SOLOMON TO CRASH BACK FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLES, AND NOW HE QUICKLY PULLS SOLOMON UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS WITH A FIREMAN’S CARRY! TERRY HOLDING SOLOMON ON HIS SHOULDERS AS HE WALKS OUT OF THE CORNER- BUT SOLOMON’S ABLE TO GRAB ONTO THE ROPES TO PULL HIMSELF OFF OF TERRY’S SHOULDERS, KNOWING THAT TERRY WAS LIKELY LOOKING FOR THE T-5!! THAT WAS AN EXTREMELY SMART MOVE BY SOLOMON, BUT NOW TERRY CHAMBERS CHARGES IN- JUST TO RUN RIGHT INTO A BACK ELBOW TO THE JAW BY SOLOMON!
Jake Mercer: Solomon now charging in as Terry stumbles back, BUT TERRY DUCKS UNDER SOLOMON’S CLOTHESLINE ATTEMPT BEFORE GRABBING HIM- AND I THINK TERRY WAS LOOKING FOR A FLATLINER, BUT SOLOMON HAD IT SCOUTED AS HE ELBOWS TERRY IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD, CAUSING TERRY TO LET GO OF HIM! NOW IT’S SOLOMON RUNNING TOWARDS TERRY ONCE AGAIN, ONLY TO RECEIVE A BOOT TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD, ROCKING SOLOMON AND CUTTING OFF ALL OF HIS MOMENTUM JUST AS HE WAS ABOUT TO TAKE CONTROL! TERRY NOW KICKS SOLOMON IN THE STOMACH BEFORE PULLING HIM IN A FRONT FACELOCK, AND NOW TERRY LIFTS SOLOMON IN A SUPLEX POSITION BEFORE-
Flannery McCoy: BEFORE NOTHING, BECAUSE SOLOMON STANE JUST SLIPPED OUT OF TERRY’S GRASP! SOLOMON NOW LIFTING TERRY FROM BEHIND, BUT TERRY CONNECTS WITH A BACK ELBOW BEFORE SOLOMON COULD GET HIM UP! TERRY STUMBLES BACK INTO THE CORNER, BUT IT’S SOLOMON STANE THAT MANAGES TO CAPITALIZE FIRST, CONNECTING WITH A HUGE CLOTHESLINE THAT CRUSHES TERRY IN BETWEEN SOLOMON’S ARM AND THE TURNBUCKLES! TERRY CHAMBERS WAS JUST CAUGHT OFF GUARD WITH THAT CLOTHESLINE, AND NOW SOLOMON STANE QUICKLY SENDS HIM INTO THE OTHER CORNER BEFORE CHARGING IN, LIKELY LOOKING FOR ANOTHER BIG CLOTHESLINE!
Stew-O: TERRY CHAMBERS JUST ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY!!! TERRY JUST ROLLED OUT OF THE CORNER AND CAUSED SOLOMON TO CRASH INTO THE TURNBUCKLES, AND NOW TERRY QUICKLY RUNS THE ROPES AS SOLOMON STUMBLES OUT OF THE CORNER! RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE!!! THE RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE CONNECTS, NEARLY TAKING SOLOMON STANE’S HEAD OFF IN THE PROCESS!!! I THOUGHT THAT SOLOMON STANE WAS IN CONTROL OF THIS MATCH WITH THOSE DEVASTATING CLOTHESLINES IN THE CORNER, BUT JUST LIKE THAT TERRY NOT ONLY MANAGED TO TURN IT AROUND, BUT HE JUST WON THE MATCH FOR HIMSELF! TERRY CHAMBERS WITH THE COVER!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner….. TTTTTEEERRRRYYYYYYYY CCHHAAAAMMMMBBEERRRSSSS!!!!!!
Stew-O: That’s it! Terry Chambers wins! Terry made it clear that he was leaving Dynasty with the victory, and in the end it looks like he’ll be doing exactly that! I know they already know each other very well, but I’d hope Dr. Bethany Blue was watching that match very closely.
Jake Mercer: That right there was what wrestling’s about! Two big monsters went at it and in the end Terry Chambers came out on top! That Random Act of Violence really came out of nowhere, and in the end it was able to help Terry pick up the win! It definitely was not easy though. It was anything but easy after seeing Solomon’s performance.
Flannery McCoy: Solomon definitely had nothing to be ashamed of. He did great tonight, but in the end Terry just barely managed to come out on top with that one huge move. Congratulations Terry!
(‘Natural’ hits, and Terry Chambers rolls off of Solomon Stane, taking a moment to catch his breath before slowly pulling himself back to his feet. The crowd cheers as Terry has his hand raised by the referee, meanwhile Solomon Stane is still down and out after getting hit with the Random Act of Violence. Terry continues to celebrate his victory as the crowd’s cheers continue, and as Terry climbs onto the middle turnbuckle and looks out at the crowd, the camera begins to fade away from ringside.)
(A commercial is shown for Terry Chambers versus Dr. Bethany Blue at House of Glass.)
(Backstage in the Coliseo de Puerto Rico, the cameras have caught up with Black Shamrock as he’s making his way down a hall and it isn’t until he comes up in front of the office door of StarrStan, the Friday Night Dynasty General Manager, that the viewers have some idea of where he was headed. Without a knock, Shamrock enters the office and finds StarrStan standing in front of his desk, his back to him until he seems to realize that someone has entered his office. StarrStan turns to see who’s come in and quickly sets his phone down as he realizes who it is, StarrStan looking to welcome Black Shamrock with a handshake but Black Shamrock stands there stoic and unmoving.)
StarrStan: :lupe: Is something wrong? I assumed after your win tonight that when I sent someone out for you to let you know I wanted to see you, that you’d be in a better mood.
(Shamrock, in disbelief, scoffs before he nods his head.)
Black Shamrock: Yeah, actually, there is something that’s wrong and it’s that my match for House of Glass hasn’t been announced yet. After the way that I defeated Flex Levi out there in that ring tonight – and I might as well have been given the night off if that’s the competition you feel like throwing at me – I had better be on the card, because there’d be no better place for me to show just how ruthless and savage I can get. This is a cutthroat business and House of Glass is a cutthroat kind of FPV that I’m not missing out on.
StarrStan: Well, fortunately for you, that’s actually why I wanted to see you! See, I do have something in mind for you, Shamrock, and your opponents as well.
Black Shamrock: Opponents? As in more than one? Well, where the hell are they, StarrStan? Because the only person I’m seeing here is me, and I-
(Just then, the door opens up again and this time Domino Stone and Solomon Stane both come walking in, both of them being stared down by Black Shamrock before Shamrock turns back to StarrStan with an amused expression, as if StarrStan has somehow got to be joking.)
Black Shamrock: These two? They’re my opponents for House of Glass? They just lost tonight.
Domino Stone: Now hold up, what’s this about House of Glass?
Solomon Stane: More importantly, why does it sound like Black Shamrock thinks he’s somehow too good to meet me in the ring? I already kicked his ass once, so it’s going to be absolutely no problem for me to do it again.
Black Shamrock: What do you say to getting dropped where you fucking stand right now?
StarrStan: Can I announce your guys’ match before any of you try to maim each other, at least? :lupe:
(Domino can be seen looking to StarrStan and shaking her head, clearly not impressed with the show of belligerence. The two other Elitists cease their arguing for the moment, however, as StarrStan continues on.)
StarrStan: Thank you so much! Now, with House of Glass next week, I wasn’t going to leave anyone out of the show and I want everyone to have the chance to showcase what makes Dynasty such a great show with how my Elitists take themselves to levels that no one’s seen before. Where you three come in as a part of that process, will be at House of Glass competing in a Glass of Your Choice Match!
Domino Stone: :comeagain:
Black Shamrock: :comeagain:
Solomon Stane: :comeagain:
StarrStan: Meaning that you’re all able to bring any amount of glass you wish into this triple threat match in any way you can think of. This is a big opportunity for all three of you to show everyone not only how out-of-the-box and unexpected you can be going into a match but just as much how well you’re able to react in the moment and stay on your toes to be prepared for anything that could come your way! I’m aware of just how broad this stipulation is, but what I see is the chance for all of you to really impress everyone with how innovative I’m confident that you all can be.
Domino Stone: :notbad:! See, I just knew if there was one thing I could be sure of it’s that you weren’t gonna leave me off the card for House of Glass, and when it comes to this match, I really can’t wait to show everyone what my brand of ultraviolence looks like. It’s obvious I’m about to be the smallest competitor out there, but shit, I’ve never let anything like that stop me and all I see is the opportunity to show how resourceful Domino Stone can be. I’ve already defeated Black Shamrock…
(Domino flashes him a confident smirk before she turns to Solomon Stane, looking him up and down not fazed at all.)
Domino Stone: As for you, Solomon, we got our hands on each other a little bit all the way back at Operation: Doomsday, but there were just far too many people for me to really be in your face and at your neck. There’s no doubt in my mind that I’d be ready to deal with you at House of Glass.
Solomon Stane: Just because out of everyone in this match, you beat Shamrock in one match isn’t anything impressive. I’ve done the same thing and Shamrock Shit-Shake found out for himself that for as brutal as he thought he could be, I’m just better and with this kind of stipulation, I’ll be far more deadlier.
StarrStan: I’m so glad you guys are all for the stipulation-
Black Shamrock: You mean like how you were against Terry? It’d be impressive if you managed to defeat a former World Champion tonight to back up all this trash you’re talking, but that’s not what happened, now is it? Domino, you defeated me and I’m sure that had to feel real nice for you, but like I said this week, I think I went just a little soft on you. That’s not about to be the case at House of Glass because after you beat me the other week, you followed it up by losing to Johnny Andrews and it’s not like anyone around here really respects a guy like that. He’s about to go and get his ass kicked by Andre Walker but somehow has it in his warped mind that he just might stand a chance. I’ll hit harder than Andrews and absolutely hit harder than the last time we faced off, because you and everyone else are in for realizing just how violent and vicious I am.
Domino Stone: Don’t go giving excuses, Shamrock, because I heard you saying that you felt you didn’t go full force on me but trust me when I say that even when you do, I’m still about to be the last one standing. I respect your love for dishing out pain and violence, but when it comes down to it, I’m all for showing you why I’m the best one at giving it right back. However nasty things look out there at House of Glass, I’m not afraid to get even nastier. However brutal this ends up getting, you better believe I’m gonna be willing to up the ante with absolutely no hesitation.
Solomon Stane: Maybe you two should stop before Black Shamrock goes giving out another silly invitation to get you to head back to his house in Dublin, Domino.
(Solomon draws the attention to himself, with Black Shamrock looking especially unimpressed.)
Domino Stone: Believe me, I can look out for myself, Solomon, and that’s what it’s gonna be all about at House of Glass: me being the sole standout.
Solomon Stane: I think you’ve got it a bit wrong because what you do on your own time isn’t what I’m interested in, not at all, but you two definitely shouldn’t get comfortable with the idea of trying to outdo each other when I’m the one that everyone’s going to be having their eyes on – and you two had damn sure better be doing the same out there at House of Glass. Bring up the fact that I lost to Terry all I want, but the fact that I had the opportunity to face off against a former World Champion and have that kind of opportunity to show how destructive I could be against someone of that caliber is all I needed to know that I want more. It meant a bigger stage, a bigger chance to give everyone a look at what harsh intentions I have. This stipulation at House of Glass? You two and everyone else are going to absolutely get to feel and see what kind of inhumane punishment I can give out.
(Solomon turns away from them and heads out, leaving them standing there with StarrStan before they do the same one after the other. StarrStan is seen having watched them all leave, just the slightest bit of concern creeping onto his face as he thought the stipulation over.)
StarrStan: Uh, alright, guys, great talk! 😅 See you at House of Glass!
(From there, the scene fades out.)
(Out in the arena, after a moment of the cameras circling around the crowd to capture their excited faces, things cut down to the commentary table where seated between Flannery McCoy and Jake Mercer is Stew-O, the commentator having the camera focused on him as he can be heard over the P.A. system for everyone to hear.)
Stew-O: With StarrStan having announced all the stipulations for our upcoming FPV, House of Glass, they’re all certainly going to prove to be exciting and interesting to watch to see how all of the Elitists competing will push themselves to deliver! So many of these matches are going to test what they’re made of, test their mental fortitude and test just who has it in them to show they’ve got the instincts to truly want to succeed and make it here on Dynasty as the season progresses. But among those stipulations, I want to bring special attention to the Red Wallz Match, where we’ll be seeing Andrea Valentine versus SOSA Henderson! Two former World Champions colliding in a match after they’ve both continued to state their intentions of wanting to become a World Champion after they both lost to Xander Payne in their attempts of a second World Title reign. With that said, I’ve got Andrea and SOSA seated in separate locations backstage for this interview; now if you’d all just direct your attention to the tron!
(The giant screen over the entrance area lights up with a change from the Dynasty logo to Andrea Valentine appearing on one side of the screen while SOSA Henderson is on the other, the two of them offering some sort of greeting to everyone that’s watching on.)
Stew-O: Andrea and SOSA, thank you for joining me for this tonight! Ever since Territorial Invasion and post-Clash of Kingdoms, we’ve seen you two cross paths over the past few weeks where the topic of conversation has become about who should be next to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship at any point after House of Glass. Andrea, you say that you shouldn’t be out of that conversation just yet, while SOSA, you say that it’s your name that everyone should have at the forefront of the line of contenders. You’ve both come up short this season already in World Championship matches, which begs the question: which one of you really deserves it more?
SOSA Henderson: I’ll go ahead and start this one off, by saying that it absolutely should be me and I’m not gonna assume there should be some kind of question about that! Yeah, I lost to Xander at Operation: Doomsday earlier at the start of the season and it was disappointing in the moment, I’m not gonna lie, but even in that loss I knew that I was gonna keep at it and keep working to make sure I got that second World Championship reign. And how have I followed it up? I got chosen to be a part of a War Games-turned-Stadium Stampede Match and it goes without saying that me, Viz, and Andre were going to be the winning team that night. Yeah, New Eden was tough and Team Showdown can say they tried, but for anyone to have even thought that Team Dynasty couldn’t pull it off just didn’t know what we were capable of. I know I can say that being on the winning team and knowing that I did my part to have made sure that we won, should absolutely put me at the top of everyone’s list as the next person who should be getting a shot! But competing against Andrea, that’s fine by me and I’ve got no problem with that like I made clear the other week. As far as it goes about me needing to show my “worth” or whatever, I just don’t see why I should have to prove that in a match.
(SOSA shrugs, not at all fazed with the concept but for everyone that knows SOSA, he’ll have no problem competing in Red Wallz against Andrea. Andrea, however, shakes her head and actually laughs a bit, seemingly finding some amusement in the matter which instantly gets SOSA anticipating a response since he doesn’t seem to think anything he said was funny.)
Andrea Valentine: First of all, you’re the one that showed up interrupting my interview when I was getting asked about this World Championship conversation, SOSA, and I’m absolutely still set on achieving that for myself. But if you hadn’t interrupted me and decided to speak over me just to interject yourself in the moment as if anyone forgot that you were just coming off of winning at Territorial Invasion, then maybe you wouldn’t be in the position to seemingly “defend” yourself. You could’ve really just been on your way and not said anything at all, minded your business instead wanting to involve yourself in mine, but if me saying that I plan on getting my next shot at the World Heavyweight Championship was something that you just absolutely took some sort of offense to or somehow felt like you were being overlooked, it’s no issue for me at all to show you how I’m gonna keep myself in that chase for the World Championship until I get my hands on it. No matter who I have to keep going through, I’ll keep fighting, and I’ll keep stepping on and over anyone to achieve the goals I’ve set for myself – no one who wants to run up in my interviews and say otherwise for some extra attention is gonna convince me otherwise.
SOSA Henderson: Then I guess I’ll just have to convince you that you’re gonna be made to wait your turn by beating you at House of Glass, won’t I?
Andrea Valentine: Assuming you do that at all, SOSA. I know we’re both gonna be sure of ourselves that we’re gonna be the one to win, we both want that for ourselves, but while you’re coming off winning one of the biggest matches in EAW history, I’m set on making more history for myself.
Stew-O: Which brings me to my next point: Andrea, everyone saw SOSA, alongside The Visual Prophet and Andre Walker, go on to be the winning team at Territorial Invasion in the Stadium Stampede Match, while earlier in the night you missed out on making the history of becoming the first woman to ever win the EAW World Heavyweight Championship. Now, that wasn’t your first time failing in a match involving the World Heavyweight Championship, you lost the season before at the same event – what would a third chance mean for you, specifically?
(Andrea takes a moment about how she wants to answer this, the losses involving the World Heavyweight Championship no doubt playing through her mind, before looking to the camera in front of her ready to respond.)
Andrea Valentine: I think what it’d mean not just to me but what it would show to everyone else is that I was always going to continue to be persistent, continue to be determined like I said I would be at the start of the season and losing at Territorial Invasion couldn’t be something that changed that. I lost at Territorial Invasion and then I lost at Clash of Kingdoms the following week – the idea that I should let two losses dictate how I should take a step back when they’re the first direct losses I’ve taken is something that’s just stupid to me, honestly. I don’t know any other way to put that, Stew, because if that’s the way everyone responded to losses, there’d be a lot less overconfident egos we’d all be dealing with. But I’ve had to bring myself back from things worse than just a few losses – a few losses that I haven’t let get to me in the way that people might expect – and that’s why it was no problem for me to challenging SOSA to this match, because with everything that I want to continue to prove, showing that I’ll be coming back off those losses against one of the best at an FPV is something I’ll continue to do.
Stew-O: SOSA, a similar question for you: you lost to Xander Payne at Operation: Doomsday and should he win, what’d be different a second time around? What if it’s Viz who wins and you two have to meet in the ring?
SOSA Henderson: The difference for a second time against Xander would be that I’d win, that’s what. But for real though, if there’s anything that winning in Stadium Stampede showed it’s that no one should count my ass out or try to deny that I’m as good as I say I am. Like Andrea’s doing now, I’m not letting what people have to say about my losses influence my next move or have some effect on what I should do next. Me and her have that in common and I can respect that, but when it comes down to it, SOSA Henderson is gonna be all about SOSA Henderson and what I’m gonna do to have my name in lights, have my face in the main events, and there’s no one that I’d let get in the way of that for any reason. Not even Viz winning at House of Glass would change how I feel on that, because it’s a known fact among everyone that I’m always out to get mine and that I’m only ever gonna do everything to make sure I’m the one people are talking about no matter what the situation is. That’s where the respect and all that stops at House of Glass when we’re fighting for one of us to come out on top, because while I get where Andrea’s coming from, she just doesn’t have the mentality that I do to really secure a spot for a second time this season in a World Championship match off a match like this.
Andrea Valentine: And I know enough about you to know I shouldn’t have expected anything less, because ultimately, I knew what a match against you was going to bring on with where you think you stand in all this. But even if we take both of our losses to Xander out the equation, this still comes back to someone talking shit about how they want to say that I should wait my turn and shit like that – it’s nothing new for me at all when it was getting said even after I won a Operation: Doomsday but I was always gonna take my chance no matter. Shit that gets said like that is what makes it sound like just any other day, honestly, but even then, I’ve done everything this season to show it’s not the kind of shit that I’m gonna be made to accept just because someone else said so. You saw fit to be just another person telling me that – the face might’ve changed but what’s getting said is just the same, and that’s why I’m gonna see to it that you’re gonna end up being another person that finds out that I wasn’t gonna be silenced into just accepting a position someone else wanted to put me in just so they could get ahead. And I know you’ve got no problem trying to get ahead by any means necessary, when the first time you beat me you capitalized on Viz getting involved, but this time around, the outcome’s gonna change on you when you least expect it.
Stew-O: And with this being only the second time that the two of you are meeting one-on-one, the stipulation being dramatically different than the standard singles contest you two faced in – how’s it going to impact the way either of you try to strategize for this?
(For the first time, both of them have to stop and think for a moment when considering how demanding Red Wallz is going to be for them to work their way through. They both know that the other isn’t going to let the match go without a fight and certainly not with everything that they both have intentions of coming into the match with.)
SOSA Henderson: What I can really say is that if you feel like I’m just gonna be someone else that you can get by, you’ve got another thing coming. People have looked at me the same way and felt I’d just be someone they go trying to make their mark off of but don’t stop to think about all I’ve got to prove and all I want to show for my work, my achievements, and I’ve done nothing but come out as one of the best for all the shit I’ve had to heard and prove wrong. It’s what made me such a standout choice to be on Dynasty’s team, because it’s known that I’ll find ways to capitalize on an opportunity that other people wouldn’t expect – and competing in Red Wallz if it means that I have to show why I’m the one who should be seeing a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship then that’s just something else for me that I’m gonna take. And beating you without Viz getting involved now? Doubt it if you want, Andrea, but that’s gonna be what happens.
Andrea Valentine: We’ve both had to deal with and overcome a lot of perceptions, I know that, SOSA, but House of Glass is gonna be something for me where I show I’m not gonna fall back for anyone. What you’ve accomplished, what you’ve proven for yourself, it’s all great and you’ve got every reason to be proud of it all, but I’m taking this one for myself. We’ve been around long enough to know that not every opportunity is going to just be handed out or given away, but making one for House of Glass like this and seeing to it that the chance for something like as big as Red Wallz was even on the table was something that I wasn’t about to go passing up on. That’s why if anyone’s going to come out on top in this, it’s gonna be me, SOSA, and I’m gonna make sure that I accomplish that by any means necessary.
(SOSA can only shake his head while Andrea nods hers reassuringly, and it couldn’t be anymore obvious that their differing opinions on who’s going to win in the end is something that can only be settled at House of Glass. They could be there for another good portion of the show still going back and forth on who they believe is going to win, but Stew-O speaks up to signal the end of the interview.)
Stew-O: SOSA and Andrea, thank you so much for your guys’ time and offering this insight for everyone else to get in on ahead of your Red Wallz Match at House of Glass! That and all of the other matches are all going to be matches that everyone surely won’t want to miss!
(SOSA and Andrea give goodbyes before they’re cut off from the titantron, the scene from there fading out.)
(A commercial is shown for Andrea Valentine versus SOSA Henderson at House of Glass.)
(‘Roll With Me’ by Charli XCX hits, as the crowd erupts into cheers! Andrea Valentine steps out in a vibrant blue attire, as she smiles and waves out to the crowd on her way down to the ring.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is set for one fall!! Introducing first.. From Orlando, Florida!! Weighing in at 110lbs!!! Andrea Valentine!!!
Stew-O: Here comes Andrea Valentine who is set to face Sosa Henderson at House of Glass. The too made their claims about why they deserve a shot at Xander Payne and eventually they called the challenge and have a match to prove who’s claim stands stronger.
Flannery McCoY: This match against Jack Ripley should be a great pre-match for her heading into her match at House of Glass.
(‘BxMxC’ by BABYMETAL hits, as the crowd remains cheering loud. After a moment, Jack Ripley steps out onto the stage with a determined look on his face. He’s focused and ready to go, as she walks down the entrance ramp and heads towards the ring.)
Stephie Love: And her opponent.. From Las Vegas, Nevada!! Weighing in at 202lbs!! Straight Shooter!! Jack Ripley!!!!
Stew-O: Ripley finds himself in a match against Bronson Daniels next week. The two have had quite the matches over this past year, and House of Glass seems to bring even more to their story.
Jake Mercer: We’ll see how Ripley does against Andrea here right now.
Flannery McCoy: Hopefully this ends without the amount of chaos that we had after last week’s main event.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: There’s the bell and this one is underway! Andrea Valentine and Jack Ripley circle around in the center of the ring and lock up! Knee to the abdomen by Jack Ripley that bends Andrea over! Ripley follows that up with a hard forearm shot to the back then a kick to the side of the leg! Jack Ripley quickly hooks the head ot Andrea and goes for a snap suplex!
Flannery McCoy: But Andrea Valentine pushes herself off and lands on her feet behind Ripley! Incredible athleticism on display by Valentine! Ripley turns around…SPINNING BACKFIST BY ANDREA VALENTINE THAT CATCHES JACK RIGHT ACROSS THE JAW! He’s sent sumbling off to the side and against the ropes after that one!!
Stew-O: Andrea makes her way over to Ripley and irish whips him across to the other side of the ring! No! Ripley counters with an irish whip of his own, as he sends Andrea to the other side! Andrea hits the ropes.. AND RUNS INTO RIPLEY WHO TOSSES HER WITH A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!!! ANDREA CRASHES DOWN HARD AFTER THAT ONE!! Ripley gets back up to his feet. Andrea isn’t too far behind as she rises up to her feet slowly.. BUT JACK SEES THIS AND CHARGES AT HER WITH A RUNNING KNEE!!
Jake Mercer: NO!! ANDREA VALENTINE SIDE STEPS AS SHE GETS OUT OF THE WAY! The Straight Shooter runs and catches himself in front of the turnbuckles. Jack turns around.. AND ITS ANDREA VALENTINE WITH A HANDSPRING BACK ELBOW TO THE FACE OF RIPLEY, AND RIPLEY FALLS BACK AGAINST THE CORNER TURNBUCKLES!!
Flannery McCoy: Andrea steps up to Jack and delivers a kick to the midesection! Ripley clutches at his stomach in pain, as Andrea wraps her arms around his head.. What is Andrea thinking here?!? RUNNING BULLDOG FROM OUT OF THE CORNER BY ANDREA VALENTINE-
Stew-O: NO!! RIPLEY SHOVES HER OFF AT THE LAST MOMENT, AS ANDREA LANDED HARD ONTO THE MAT IN FRONT OF HIM!! Valentine slowly gets up to her feet while clutching at her lower back.. KICK TO THE STOMACH BY JACK!! AND HE FOLLOWS THAT WITH A DDT!
Jake Mercer: Ouch!! Valentine just had her face smacked against the mat right there! Ripley sits up and looks over at her before getting to his feet. He’s turning his head and looking at that top turnbuckle now! Ripley climbs up to the top turnbuckle and gets himself set. He looks down at Andrea.. AND RIPLEY LEAPS OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A MOONSAULT!!
Stew-O: NO!! VALENTINE ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY, BUT RIPLEY LANDS ON HIS FEET!! Valentine slowly rises to her feet.. SHOOT KICK TO THE CHEST BY JACK RIPLEY!! That kick knocked the wind right out of Andrea!! Ripley now grabs Andrea and places her on his shoulder. What is Ripley thinking here? He’s charging towards the corner!!! LAWN DART!!! IT CONNECTS, AS ANDREA GETS TOSSED FACE FIRST AGAINST THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!! Valentine is groggy, as she can barely hold her balance! She steps out of the corner and stumbles towards the center of the-
Flannery McCoy: JACK RIPLEY WITH THE DAYLIGHT SLAYING TIME!!! THE RUNNING KNEE TO THE HEAD BLASTS ANDREA VALENTINE AND TAKES HER DOWN TO THE CANVAS OF THE RING IN AN INSTANT!! Jack Ripley hooks the legs!!!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!
Jake Mercer: Andrea kicks out quickly after the one count!
Stew-O: Ripley gets back to his feet, then makes his way over to the ring ropes and steps through to the ring apron. Meanwhile, Andrea is making her way up as well! Ripley grabs onto the top rope.. AND LAUNCHES HIMSELF INTO THE AIR TOWARDS ANDREA!! SLINGSHOT DDT!!!!
Flannery McCoy: NO!! Andrea side steps out of the way, as Ripley stumbles onto his feet right past her!!! AND IT’S ANDREA VALENTINE WHO DROPKICKS RIPLEY IN THE BACK AND SENDS HIM CHEST FIRST INTO THE RING ROPES IN FRONT OF HIM!! Jack rebounds back as he backpedals back towards Andrea.. DOUBLE KNEE BACKBREAKER BY ANDREA VALENTINE!! RIPLEY IS STUNNED, AS HE FALLS OFF TO THE SIDE AND CLUTCHES AT HIS LOWER BACK IN PAIN!!!!
Jake Mercer: And look at Andrea!! She’s back up to her feet and instantly leaps up to connect with a double footstomp onto the ankle of Jack Ripley!! Ripley clutches at his ankle now, as Andrea walks around and delivers another double foot stomp!! This time on the other ankle!! Ripley sits up to grab his other ankle.. BUT ITS VALENTINE WHO SENDS HIM BACK DOWN WITH A SHOOT KICK TO THE CHEST! Valentine now with the.. MAGIC HOUR!! THE ROUNDING MOONSAULT BY ANDREA VALENTINE CONNECTS AS SHE SLAMS RIGHT DOWN ON JACK RIPLEY!! Valentine with the pin!!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-
Jake Mercer: And there’s Jack with the kickout! Andrea Valentine rises back up to her feet. She grabs Jack, and brings him up to his feet as well! Irish whip by Andrea!! Ripley gets sent to the side ropes, but doesn’t rebound back as he hangs onto the ring ropes! Valentine sees this as she charges at him.. BUT RIPLEY DIPS HIS SHOULDER AND LAUNCHES VALENTINE OVER THE TOP ROPE AND DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!!
Stew-O: Andrea Valentine is down, as Jack Ripley exits the ring and gets down to ringside with her. He grabs Andrea, and lifts her up onto his shoulders. Oh no.. if this is what I think it is, it can’t be good.. AND IT IS WHAT I THINK IT IS!!! LAWN DART THROW BY JACK RIPLEY, AS HE TOSSES ANDREA VALENTINE INTO THE THINLY PADDED BARRICADE’S THAT SURROUND THEM!! Valentine drops down in an instant after that one!
Referee: One.. Two.. Three.. Four…
Flannery McCoy: Ripley makes his way over to Andrea, as she’s down on the ground, working to get back up. Andrea now gets to her feet.. BUT SHE’S MET BY A KICK TO THE STOMACH BY JACK RIPLEY.. SNAP SUPLEX BY RIPLEY, AS HE SLAMS ANDREA HARD AGAINST THE THINLY PADDED RINGSIDE FLOOR!
Stew-O: Ripley now begins to pace back and forth here on the outside as he’s watching Andrea Valentine. Remember, he has a match against Bronson Daniels next week, so he needs to be locked in and ready to go. Judging on the look on his face he is just that! Andrea slowly gets to her feet.. RUNNING DOUBLE KNEE STRIKE TO THE CHEST BY JACK RIPL-
Jake Mercer: ANDREA GETS OUT OF THE WAY, AS JACK RIPLEY CRASHES INTO THE BARRICADE, THEN OVER INTO THE CROWD!!
Referee: Five.. Six.. Seven…
Flannery McCoy: Andrea Valentine steps over to the ring. She slides herself back in, then Slides back out to restart the count. I guess she wants to keep this on the outside! Valentine makes it over to the barricade, steps over, and grabs Jack Ripley. She brings him up to his feet.. RIGHT FOREARM TO THE HEAD BY ANDREA!! CHOP TO THE CHEST AS A RESPONSE BY JACK RIPLEY!! ANOTHER FOREARM BY ANDREA!! ANOTHER CHOP BY RIPLEY!!! FOREARM BY ANDREA!!! CHOP BY RIPLEY!!! NO ANDREA CATCHES THE ARM, AND TUGS IT, AND PULLS HIM INTO ANOTHER FOREARM TO THE FACE!! Andrea keeps the arm, and presses her boot against Ripley’s face! What’s this!?!? XOXO!!!! INVERTED STOMP FACEBREAKER BY ANDREA VALENTINE CONNECTS!!
Referee: One.. Two.. Three.. Four.. Five..
Stew-O: Ripley was stunned by that face breaker as he fell off to the side and hangs his head and upper body over the barricade. Valentine makes her way over to the other side of the barricade by the ring, as she stares at Ripley’s limp body hanging over. She steps in.. VALENTINE’S MASSACRE!!! HANDSTAND HEADSCISSORS DRIVER CONNECTS AS SHE PULLS RIPLEY OFF OF THE BARRICADE AND DRILLS HIS HEAD INTO THE GROUND!! RIPLEY MIGHT BE OUT COLD HERE!!
Referee: Six.. Seven…
Jake Mercer: Look at Valentine go, as she begins to drag Ripley’s body across the rinside floor and over to to the side of the ring!
Stew-O: This is like dragging dead weight, and since Ripley is so much bigger than Andrea, I don’t think you realize how much work she has to do to get him across!
Jake Mercer: Everyone knows Valentine’s are born with an enlarged heart, so that means they heave the heart of a champion and can get it done!
Flannery McCoy: :usure:
Referee: Eight..
Stew-O: She’s got Ripley next to the ring. She’s just trying to lift him up! Shes using all of her strength to get him to his feet!!
Referee: Nine…
Flannery McCoy: I don’t think she’s going to make it!!!
Stew-O: VALENTINE SLIDES JACK RIPLEY BACK INTO THE RING!!!
Referee: TEN-
Flannery: ANDREA BEATS THE COUNT!!
Jake Mercer: Told you. Heart of a Champion. :smugcena:
Flannery McCoy: SHE SLIDES IN AND HOOKS THE LEGS OF JACK RIPLEY!!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEE-
Stew-O: RIPLEY GETS HIS SHOULDER UP!! That was a close one by Andrea Valentine! If they had been in the ring sooner, she may have scored the pinfall, but not quite right here!
Flannery McCoy: Valentine gets back up to her feet. She stands in an athletic stance, as she awaits Jack Ripley who is slowly working himself up to his hands and knees then to his feet.. KICK TO THE STOMACH BY ANDREA AS RIPLEY BENDS OVER!! SHE RUNS TO THE ROPES, REBOUNDS BACK, AND LOVE HAZE!!! RUNNING CORKSCREW NECKBRE-
Stew-O: JACK RIPLEY DUCKS HIS HEAD LOW, AS ANDREA MISSES COMPLETELY, FLIPS IN MID AIR, AND LANDS ON HER FEET! Valentine turns back towards Jack Ripley.. YOU’LL FLOAT TOO BY RIPLEY!!!
Jake Mercer: NO ANDREA DUCKS UNDERNEATH THE LEGS AS SHE ENDS UP BEHIND JACK RIPLEY.. DOUBLE KNEE BACK BREAKER ONCE AGAIN BY ANDREA VALENTINE!!! RIPLEY IS FLAT ON THE GROUND AFTER NEARLY GETTING HIS BACK SNAPPED!! ANDREA LOOKS TO FINISH THIS MATCH OFF RIGHT NOW-
(“Faneto” by Chief Keef blasts across the speakers!!!)
Flannery McCoy: WHAT THE HELL?!?!? WHAT IS HE DOING OUT HERE??
Stew-O: Could it be…
Jake Mercer: IT IS!!!
(SOSA Henderson makes his way out to the stage with a microphone.)
SOSA Henderson: What do we got here?! This ain’t look like a place for a SOSA Henderson promo, but I’m going to make it one. Hope you don’t mind if I cut into some of your time, Andrea.
(SOSA sarcastically winks while Andrea turns her head to look at SOSA. A slight look of confusion is shown as she shakes off the cobwebs and centers her whole attention to him.)
Andrea Valentine: (off-mic) What the hell… GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!
Flannery McCoy: Andrea shouting at SOSA to get him away from this match, seeing as she’s on the cusp of victory she can’t afford much distractions. But SOSA doesn’t look like he’s budging, instead, he’s continuing to make his way down the ramp.
SOSA Henderson: Woah woah woah… let’s calm down, Andrea, the hell you think I’m about to do? Hell, I’ll give you a resolution, I’m just here to watch the rest of the match I swear.
(SOSA makes his way around the ring, “borrowing” a fans popcorn before taking a steel chair and simply plopping himself down in front of the broadcasting booth, shrugging his shoulders and beginning to eat.)
Stew-O: Valentine ignoring that and now begins to make her way over to the corner. This crowd is going wild after all of the events that have taken place here tonight, and what Andrea is doing right now is only making them more wild! Valentine is up on the top rope with this entire crowd cheering her on!! Ripley slowly get to his feet and turns towards Andrea..
Jake Mercer: V-DAY!!! DIVING SOMERSAULT SEATED SENTON BY ANDREA VALENTINE!!!
Stew-O: NO!!! JACK RIPLEY CATCHES HER RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE IN MID AIR WITH HIS YOU’LL FLOAT TOO!!! ANDREA’S HEAD SNAPS BACK AFTER THAT KICK TO THE JAW, AND SHE HITS THE CANVAS HARD!!! Ripley dropping down for the pin!!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THHHHHHHHHHHHHRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘BxMxC’ by BABYMETAL hits, as the crowd erupts into cheers after this stellar performance by these two amazing competitors. Jack Ripley slowly works up to his feet, then has his hand raised by the referee.)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner.. THE STRAIGHT SHOOTER!!! JACK RIPLEY!!!!!
(SOSA Henderson is shown falling over in his chair on stage laughing as he spills his popcorn everywhere.)
Flannery McCoy: This is ridiculous! Andrea Valentine had that match won but SOSA Henderson distracted her!!
Stew-O: I actually don’t know about that Flan… I mean she was briefly distracted by SOSA but she had control of the match even after that.
Jake Mercer: Indeed. Flan hating as usual. This W was all thanks to Jack Ripley’s skillful counter and Andrea really has no one to blame but herself!
Flannery McCoy: FML. I just wanted to support my queen. :mjcry: !!!
(SOSA Henderson is shown leaving as he yells at an EAW staff member to clean up his spilled popcorn.)
Stew-O: What a match we had here tonight. Both Elitists have big matches against two other great Dynasty talents next week at House of Glass, and they both fought like it here tonight.
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, fighting into the crowd and having one incredible finish here. The type of energy they brought in tonights match was awesome.
Jake Mercer: But only one of them could walk out with the victory, and tonight that was Jack. We’ll see if he can continue with the same result next week against Daniels!
(The screen shows Jack Ripley raising his arms in the air as he walks backwards up the entrance ramp. The crowd continues to cheer him on, as the screen fades out.)
(A final commercial is shown for Xander Payne versus The Visual Prophet for the World Heavyweight Championship at House of Glass.)
(Inside the ring after a commercial break stands Friday Night Dynasty’s General Manager, StarrStan, at the far end of the table that’s been set up in the ring. On the middle of the table sits a contract that he’s already opened up with one lone pen resting on that, and two microphones on either side of the contract. With the Dynasty theme music from when he made his entrance fading out, StarrStan raises the microphone that he’s already holding and speaks with a grin as he addresses Dynasty’s capacity crowd.)
StarrStan: Welcome to the World Heavyweight Championship match contract signing for House of Glass!
(StarrStan nods in approval at the cheers that the crowd sends his way, knowing that they’re just as excited as him for the upcoming Dynasty-exclusive FPV.)
StarrStan: In just a moment, we’ll be having the challenger, The Visual Prophet, and the defending Champion, Xander Payne, both come out here and sign this contract that will make it official for them to meet under the Glass Wallz stipulation. We saw last season just how brutal this kind of match can get – Mr. DEDEDE had Viz hanging on a meat hook at one point, for crying out loud! – but I’m certain that for as brutal as it’s going to be to witness, it’s going to be just as entertaining to see what these two Elitists will especially get themselves into this year! I’m certain that they will deliver and make it a match that’ll be even more memorable than the last-
(‘It Follows’ by Cane Hill begins to interrupt the General Manager and the crowd immediately begins to send boos toward Xander Payne as he comes walking out with the World Heavyweight Championship raised. He takes a moment to shake his head in disgust at the jeering crowd before starting his way down the aisle, being sure to keep the center and out of reach of the raucous crowd that wants nothing to do with him.)
Stew-O: Here comes Xander Payne, who’s left weekly opponents and FPV challengers alike all beaten down in his path as he’s torn through the competition as World Heavyweight Champion!
Flannery McCoy: Xander has made sure to keep his word on plenty of things when it comes to this reign of his as the World Heavyweight Champion, and he’s set to face off against his biggest challenger yet, as he aims to deal with The Visual Prophet!
Jake Mercer: And he’s definitely not planning on waiting to get this one started! He didn’t even let StarrStan finish in the introductions; so rude, Viz would never!
(Xander makes his way up the steps and gets to the apron, he looks to StarrStan for a moment with a scowl before entering the ring and going around the table. He pulls the chair away from the table and sits down, placing the World Heavyweight Championship on the table just to his left.)
Xander Payne: I’m ready to get this over with. Why you allowed for this imbecile to challenge for my Championship under the stipulation that it didn’t matter how he performed at Territorial Invasion is beyond me, but this is definitely your fault. An issue I’ll take care of at House of Glass when I send him packing, but until then, let’s just get this done.
(Xander shakes his head disapprovingly at StarrStan once again, the General Manager giving a nervous chuckle that’s picked up by the microphone before he calls down Viz from the back.)
StarrStan: And next, we have the challenger, the Team Captain of the winning Stadium Stampede Match himself, The Visual Prophet!
(The crowd roars with cheers as ‘Voodoo Chile’ by Jimi Hendrix comes blaring into the arena and out walks The Visual Prophet with Dr. Angelo D’Angelo at his side! Viz takes a moment to hype the crowd, throwing his arms up and calling on them to get louder before Angelo gets his attention and tells him to focus on the task at hand. Viz starts down the ramp, staring down Xander with a knowing smirk as he gets closer to the ring.)
Flannery McCoy: The Visual Prophet has been waiting to find himself in a World Title match here on Dynasty since helping out StarrStan back at Pain for Pride, and while he and Dr. Angelo D’Angelo have had to make a bit of a journey in getting to this point, they’ve finally arrived!
Jake Mercer: I can’t believe they kept a brother waiting for his rightfully deserved opportunity! Is this who our General Manager is?! Just another oppressor trying to keep my people down?!
Stew-O: ….Anyway!
(The Visual Prophet has entered the ring and taken the one remaining seat across from Xander, making himself comfortable by leaning back in the chair and swinging his legs up to prop them on the table. His demeanor isn’t at all appreciated by Xander, who inches the World Heavyweight Championship away from Viz’s shoes.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Really, StarrStan? You call that an introduction?! This man is about to become a two-time – count it, TWO-TIME – World Champion and that’s the best you can do for the man about to save your brand?
StarrStan: I’m not out here to show favoritism to neither Xander nor Viz, I just want this contract signed for my brand’s FPV. :lupe:
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: What, are you scared Xander would say something? That he’d waddle over and rough you up if you so much as looked at Viz with those eyes that say you’re pleading for him to take back his spot on top?
Xander Payne: Can someone cut his mic off? He doesn’t even need to be here!
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: You should know better than to give your irrelevant opinion on where you think a black man does or doesn’t belong :mjpls:
Xander Payne: And here we go.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: YES, Xander, here we DO go, because we’re already off to a bad start! Viz is about to do StarrStan yet another favor by kicking your beluga behind all over Glass Wallz and just like he deserved this opportunity at the start of the season, he deserves an introduction worthy of such a moment! LET’S HEAR IT FOR THE SOON-TO-BE NEW, TWO-TIME WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP-YUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Xander looks around in disgust at the cheering and boisterous crowd, who are all behind the idea of Viz winning the World Heavyweight Championship for the second time in his bright career. Angelo can be seen nodding his head in approval of the crowd, before Xander interrupts the cheering to kill the noise.)
Xander Payne: Are you done? Can we move on now? Because that’d be great.
The Visual Prophet: You better watch your tone. You don’t wanna upset Angelo; let ‘em know, Stanley.
StarrStan: :lupe: Let’s just try to keep things as civil as possible, please. With that said, Xander, you’re the Champion, why don’t you sign first?
(StarrStan motions to the contract and the pen, and Xander sighs heavily as he leans forward to grab the pen before he stops and sets it back down, raising a finger from his other hand to show that he’s about to take a moment to get something off his chest. He looks across the table at Viz and then to StarrStan, before his attention falls back upon Viz.)
Xander Payne: I have to say that this has honestly gotten to a point where it’s ridiculous. It’s the whole thing about having to hear about how people want to echo each other about how they think that Viz is going to be the one to take the World Heavyweight Championship back, how they think Viz is somehow suited to carry Friday Night Dynasty on his back again, that in their completely irrational brains that Viz would be able to preside over a task like that better than I’ve been doing since April – and I have to say that I’m pretty damn sick of it.
(Viz can’t help but look confused, not being able to understand what exactly he’s being blamed for in all that and how it’s supposed to be a bad thing on his part that he’s remained a top contender in the eyes of the EAW Universe. Needless to say, neither he nor Angelo D’Angelo appear any more impressed with Xander since they set their sights on him since coming out.)
Xander Payne: Don’t sit there with that stupid look on your face, Jeffrey, because you know exactly what I’m talking about. It’s the fact that you lost the World Heavyweight Title and faded out, you were gone and the world got to see that not only Dynasty but EAW altogether could go on thriving without you – but suddenly everyone’s meant to just believe that you’re deserving of this spot again. Hell, you spent the first few months of the season just expecting StarrStan to just give you a World Heavyweight Championship shot for accomplishing the mediocre task of dealing with Veena Adams and Charlie Marr at Pain for Pride, and yet he never even flinched whenever you opened your mouth on the topic here in Season 15 until you two essentially had to force his hand for the world to see even after you failed to defeat Andrea Valentine at Operation: Doomsday. So, what does that say about you, Viz? That’s why this match happening is just so baffling to me, why I was hoping and praying that I’d get a challenger who’d have learned from my stellar examples of how to not just hold a World Title like this but actually BE a World Champion that commands respect, because you don’t deserve it and certainly not for just winning the Stadium Stampede Match at Territorial Invasion. If you were so deserving of a shot in the first place, you would’ve received it upon coming into the season but that’s not what happened, is it? Deep down, StarrStan clearly knew the same thing as me: you aren’t worth the investment.
(Xander is set in his words, a firm believer in everything he’s saying and there certainly won’t be any changing his mind on anything. He looks across the table and sees someone that isn’t as serious as him, as committed or dedicated – and what he gets back is an amused Viz who’s clearly found some humor in what the World Heavyweight Champion has had to say in the last few moments. Viz is not surprised, not moved by the words flung in his direction, and seems to be expecting more as if he can’t believe that’s the best Xander could do.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Was that it? You done? Don’t bother raising that mic back up to answer that because we all know the answer is yes, you’re done speaking until you’re given the okay to-
Xander Payne: I’ll speak when I damn well please-
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Trying to speak over a man of color, a black man no less and I can’t say I’m shocked at all that your entitled, pot-bellied ass would even dare to think that that’s something that’s alright! You foul, filthy, downright EVIL cacs have been doing that from the moment some of us were brought into this world and just haven’t let up since; so uncomfortable with the idea that if you or someone who doesn’t look like you doesn’t hold all the power in the room then you’ve just got to try to silence people like me, like Viz, the very examples of men who wouldn’t otherwise be in these positions if we allowed you to dictate our worth but we know better!
The Visual Prophet: :wow:!!!!!!!!!!!
(Xander merely rolls his eyes and shakes his head – this wasn’t anything unexpected but he could clearly go without having his words dragged into a conversation about race and ethics that he wasn’t trying to have given the circumstances.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: That’s why for everything StarrStan seemingly did to ignore us and hope that we’d just go quietly into the night and not press the issue on Viz’s overdue title shot as if we’d somehow forget that we rightfully expected to be compensated for the work he asked of him… :mjpls:
StarrStan: :lupe: That’s not what it was-
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: AHT! AHT! What did I JUST tell Xander about speaking over me?! ….But as I was SAYING, we were always going to make sure that The Visual Prophet got what he was owed! Hearing that you were out here hoping for a different competitor to step up and challenge you, no doubt some other entitled pale face, isn’t shocking to us because we knew it’d very much be like you to go being the type to pray on a black man’s downfall. The idea of Viz being the one to knock you off the very top of the mountain isn’t something that just makes you mad, it’s got you terrified! Having to be inside Glass Wallz with the very man who completely changed the game with one single match and rose up into greatness on the very brand you’ve done some lackluster job in “carrying”? Having to face off against the same man who won this very match last season as he defended the World Heavyweight Title against a man as demented as DEDEDE?! We know you’re shaking! Because the only thing you’re carrying is too many pounds, fat boy, and it’s had nowhere else to go but to your damn head-
Xander Payne: I don’t know who you think you’re talking to but you need to watch your mouth-
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: I’M SPEAKING! Now don’t interrupt me again.
The Visual Prophet: I’ll take this one, Angelo, because I’d personally like to deliver this part of the message to Xander myself. Everyone knew that I deserved to have this match a long time ago and I know that in all that you saw going on, you had to be relieved that I was seemingly being held off from snatching up that World Heavyweight Championship any sooner. You saw you’d benefit from StarrStanley’s moments of negligence and the weight of the world came off your shoulders – not that the weight of that gut is really any different – but here I am to take what’s mine, whether you like it or not! What else we don’t give a damn about is whether or not anyone who thinks like you or looks like you believes I should be on top because what’s undeniable is that when I was on top, Dynasty was at its brightest with me at the helm.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Something that people don’t want to acknowledge wholeheartedly is that Dynasty was at its best with The Visual Prophet, a black man, being responsible for the uptick in ratings, in entertainment. But once he was out? It was right back to the same ol’ stuff, with travesties like Charlie Marr back to being forced on crowds as if that’s what anyone was ever asking for! That would’ve been seen as overkill as it was if this whole Xander phase hadn’t already been going on long enough up to this point. That’s why this black man you’re lucky to be sitting across from needs to be back on top!
(Xander doesn’t look the slightest bit moved and instead appearing like this is some chore for him to get through.)
Xander Payne: You’re going on about representation and whatnot, which would probably sound nice if it were about someone who didn’t constantly make a joke out of everything – but the way I see it is if it ain’t broke then don’t try to fix it. What I’m about to say is probably going to offend or upset a lot of people but there’s nothing – no cause, no matter, no reason – that I’ll even deem as being bigger than me and my reign, and all that I’m going to continue to accomplish as your World Heavyweight God! I really don’t care about your antics, Viz, or what your manager wants to say on your behalf, because it’s not going to matter when this is all over. You’re going to lose and then try to keep yourself relevant through whatever arbitrary bullshit you decide to cook up next and hope to god that the masses will eat it up, praying that it leads you to some forgettable mid-card title reign as you meander through a list of even more forgettable defenses. That’s what you’re going to be reduced to after House of Glass and there’s no stipulation that would ever give me the thought that you’re someone at this point in time that’s going to prove to be capable of taking me down. You might’ve been good at one point, considered great even, and you might’ve been on your way to proving you actually could carry a brand up until you showed that you truly couldn’t – but the point is that it’s painfully obvious how I’ve come along and done everything a whole lot better. I’ve done nothing but prove that I’m at the top of my game, but if you want to doubt that for some obnoxious agenda, you’ll realize how wrong you were come House of Glass.
(Xander grabs the pen and flips open the contract to sign it, scrawling his name where he’s been designated to. He’s ready to get this over with and doesn’t plan on being subjected to hearing anymore of what The Visual Prophet or Angelo D’Angelo have to say. He slams the pen down, hard enough for the collision to be heard on the mic that he set on the table, before flipping the contract shut and shoving it across the table so hard that Viz has to put his hand up against the table to keep it from sliding off into his lap.)
StarrStan: Now, Viz, if you’ll just go ahead and-
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: I’LL go ahead and look this one over before he signs anything, Starr! As if we’d just sign anything without seeing what kind loopholes or tricks you’ve got in this after all the waiting you made us do-
StarrStan: But there wasn’t even a thought to have anything like that in there-
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: And you want us to just to take your word for it :mjlol:?! The white man has been running schemes over us for centuries – I’ll be damned if I let The Visual Prophet fall victim to any of that foolishness!
(Angelo snatches up the contract and begins to read it over, and all Xander can do is roll his eyes in annoyance. Viz appears to be enjoying the reaction though and for that, allows Angelo to continue on reading the contract.)
The Visual Prophet: Now Xander, before we go any further, I just have to say that no one’s EVER said that you’ve done this better than me. I went ahead and gave you some credit a few weeks ago, said that you’ve done what you needed to do – but for you that’s all you needed to do. Just enough to be able to get the job done and not this reign of yours look like a whole waste of time. You met the expectations, I’m not gonna take that from you. But me? When StarrStan said that no matter how I performed that I could be next in line, I could’ve just done whatever the hell I wanted and just been casual about the whole damn thing, not cared at all since I should’ve had this match already – but what happened?! I only led the best assembled team to heights in an EAW first-ever that left New Eden crying their eyes out on Voltage about feeling set up, led Andre Walker to a victory that cemented him as a certified future star, gave SOSA Henderson a chance to understand what the VPLA is all about when it came to lessons in leadership and now he’s talking about taking another swing at the World Heavyweight Title! Just shows that my power, my influence? Greater than anything Xander Payne has ever put his hands to or had his name on – I’m absolutely unmatched, unrivaled, unequaled in the ways that you only wish you were, Xander, while the only place you’ve got anyone beat is when you go to step on a scale! But I’m about to have you beat at House of Glass, and even you know it.
(Just as Viz finishes speaking and just as Xander gets ready to respond with an irritated look on his face, Dr. Angelo D’Angelo sets the contract down in front of Xander’s House of Glass challenger, seemingly giving the okay for his signature on the contract. The Visual Prophet picks up the pen and signs his name dramatically big on the line before shutting what the contract had come enclosed in, and then sliding it down to StarrStan without even taking his eyes off of Xander. As StarrStan catches the contract to keep it from sliding off the table, Xander stands up from his seat with his microphone in hand and leans across the table with an enraged expression ready to no doubt launch into a tirade about everything Viz had to say.)
Crowd: :lupe:
Jake Mercer: :lupe:
Flannery McCoy: :lupe:
Stew-O: And now he’s just going to walk away?
(Xander slams his microphone down on the table and it bounces off to the canvas, ‘It Follows’ by Cane Hill beginning to play once again and Xander grabs up the World Heavyweight Championship before he exits from the ring.)
Stew-O: Well, on that note, it IS official now that we’ll be seeing Xander Payne defend his World Heavyweight Championship against The Visual Prophet at House of Glass inside Glass Wallz!
Jake Mercer: And we’ll get a new World Champion here on Dynasty :blessed:!!!!
Flannery McCoy: I’m never going to be the one who makes the bold move of counting Viz out, but Xander Payne is absolutely not to be underestimated or overlooked-
Jake Mercer: Overlooked?! How’s that even possible?! You can’t miss him!
Stew-O: :mjpls: You know what she meant, and she’s right. Xander Payne could prove to be quite dangerous at House of Glass and if he shows to be capable of that, it’d be no surprise at all to see him retain over Viz. Viz is going to undoubtedly be a tough challenge for Xander to overcome though and with as much as he’s been set on wanting to get this Championship match, I’m sure he’ll be holding nothing back! With that, we’ll be seeing you all at House of Glass!
(With Xander standing up on the stage now and clutching the World Heavyweight Championship close as he’s shouting at Viz from his position, while Viz is standing at the ropes doing nothing but wearing the knowing grin that he’d walked in with at the sight of the irritated Champion. As Xander continues to shout, promising that Viz will never get his hands on the World Heavyweight Championship so long as he’s got anything to do about it, the scene fades out.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
