(EAW intro plays.)
(Friday Night Dynasty hits the airwaves! The intro for the red brand plays, featuring every notable Elitist signed before a recap is shown, catching the viewers up to speed on last week’s show: Limmy Monaghan opens the show, calling out KAI-ZEN to confront them after their heinous attack on him. However, Ricky shows up on the titantron and says they won’t be coming out, but states that Limmy is merely one of many more the group seeks to go after. Cody Maverick picks up the win against Taylor Vanity in the night’s first match. Jake Smith comes out and says he’s done waiting around for Andre Walker, figuring he wouldn’t show up. He reiterates his desire to face him at House of Glass to exact his revenge, but Albert Hitchman interrupts and issues him a warning. Amidst the back and forth, Ronan Malosi shows up, trying to blindside him, but Jake is able to thwart their plan and sends him outside. NOVA defeats Sorn in the next match. Backstage, Chris Elite confronts Tyrone Montgomery about his title shot not being given to him and demands he grows a set of balls so that he isn’t pushed around by Kensingten Calhoun-Astor and Richard Grant any longer. Tyrone seems like he was able to take Chris’ words seriously. Elite leaves the office, but he is then attacked by KAI-ZEN. They make it known they have their sights on him, and they leave for MITSU’s match against Joso. Joso is able to overcome him, but he isn’t safe and gets attacked post-match. Limmy comes out to make the save for him. Ryan Wilson is interviewed backstage, saying he never needed Xander and challenges him to match at House of Glass. Out of nowhere, Xander attacks with a glass bottle, and while looking at the downed Ryan, he cold-heartedly accepts the match. Back to the ring, Jay Jerry Johnson and Theron Nikolas talk one-on-one, ending things off with no tension but both men are clearly determined to add on to their legacies at House of Glass. In the next match, Jay gets the win over Komatsu Ogawa. Michael Machina is seen backstage, mad as can be, seeking revenge against Drake Armstrong. However, Hans Grayson calms him down, expresses his frustrations about the situation, and proposes the three of them face off in a triple-threat match at House of Glass. Michael accepts but warns Hans that he will take the New Breed Championship away from him. Hans is able to successfully defend the championship next by defeating Lt. Michael Scott Connor. After the match, Drake Armstrong makes his presence known and attacks the champion; Michael races in to attack him, but Armstrong slips away. Milli Banks is interviewed by Stew-O in a pre-recorded segment about potentially becoming the longest-reigning Specialists Champion of all time. Rory Slate watches it backstage and is annoyed. Bea Valentine and Delilah Rose come in, and the three bicker before their tag team match. The match is ruled a no contest as Milli, Rory, Bea and Delilah brawl with each other. Eventually, Delilah takes Milli out with the Specialists Championship and her finisher, standing over the downed champion. SOSA Henderson and Rick Ross meet up with Albert Hitchman to follow-up on their meeting from last week. In an in-ring segment, Kassidy Heart and Sienna Jade cut a scathing promo on POTARA and the tag division before laying down the gauntlet officially and saying that the Jaded Hearts are coming for the Unified Tag Team Championships at Wicked Games. They wait for the tag champions, but Ms. Extreme comes out and goes back and forth with her rival while also getting at it with Sienna Jade. Sienna and Ms. Extreme compete in a competitive match, but POTARA make their presence known and attack Kassidy. Sienna is able to help her out, but this leads Ms. Extreme to capitalize and secure the win for herself. Cy Henderson returns to Dynasty, giving his thoughts about the whole situation with Andre and especially Ronan Malosi. Ronan comes out and argues with him, slapping him. The two brawl with Cy getting the better of him. Myles is interviewed before his title match, but is brutally attacked by KAI-ZEN. However, that doesn’t stop him from pushing on with his injuries to compete in the main event against Bronson Daniels. Bronson is able to defeat him to retain the World Heavyweight Championship. After the match, SOSA Henderson attacks Bronson with a steel chair and raises the title up high above him to close out the show.)
(Dynasty enters the live feed for the show, and a familiar arena greets the viewers: the Capital Indoor Stadium in Beijing, China! While it won’t be hosting a marquee event this year, it is the host for this weekend of EAW weekend programming! The iconic sweeping overhead shot captures everyone in attendance before the shot shows off the stage. Red pyro goes off. The crowd erupts in cheers as the camera pans to the commentary table. Stew-O, Jake Mercer and Flannery McCoy all smile, excited for the action to kick off!)
Stew-O: HOUSE OF GLASS IS NEARLY HERE! WE ARE AT THE HOME STRETCH! TWO MORE WEEKS AND DYNASTY TAKES OVER SAITAMA, JAPAN WITH THE RETURN OF OUR ICONIC EVENT! FOR NOW, OUR ASIA TOUR CONTINUES TO ROLL ON STRONG AS WE ARE LIVE HERE TONIGHT IN THE CITY THAT HOSTED LAST YEAR’S ROAD TO REDEMPTION: BEIJING, CHINA! THE ENERGY IS ALL BUT FAMILIAR! WELCOME, EAW UNIVERSE, AND ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR TUNING IN! I AM STEW-O, AND AS ALWAYS, I AM HERE WITH JAKE MERCER AND FLANNERY MCCOY!
Jake Mercer: OH MAN, I AM EXCITED, STEW-O! WE HAVE PLENTY TO LOOK FORWARD TO! THE KAISER IS BACK, AND HE WILL BLESS US WITH HIS PRESENCE! HOW CAN ANYONE NOT BE HAPPY ABOUT THAT?!
Flannery McCoy: It’s a return that so many have been looking forward to after things between him and Jake Smith have escalated! Speaking of returns, we have the 420’s in action! Yes, you heard that correctly: Jake Smith and Bronson Daniels are reunited for tonight, and in the main event, they will be taking on Ronan Malosi and SOSA Henderson!
Jake Mercer: Return?! More like ni hao, because those two are getting shipped to Shanghai when Ronan and SOSA absolutely obliterate them! ☝️
Flannery McCoy: Oh, right, I forgot you were going to try and force the China jokes.
Stew-O: Either way, the action here in China is stacked! Jaded Hearts and KAI-ZEN will kick things off for us here tonight in the opening match, and that is a bout that has been anticipated as two dangerous teams collide to see who will come out on top! KAI-ZEN has garnered the world’s attention, but will they be able to continue having that in their hands by defeating arguably the greatest tag team in this promotion’s history?!
Jake Mercer: It’s a huge test for them, and with Kassidy and Sienna looking to snatch the tag titles from POTARA AND allow Kassidy to be one of the few Elitists to hold the tag and world titles at the same time, those women aren’t going to let history slip them by!
Flannery McCoy: I can definitely attest to that… for better or for worse. Aside from that tag match, we have two upstarts who are ready to tear the house down with Cody Maverick and Christian Martinez squaring up! Martinez is making his official Dynasty debut tonight whereas Maverick seeks to keep his own momentum going, looking to establish himself as the next new breed to leave his mark here! We also have another debut as BRAE takes on Taylor Vanity! Can Taylor dust herself off from her loss last week, or will BRAE get to start things off hot for himself and his career here in the Land of Elite?
Stew-O: Tag team action follows that up, and it is a good one as Jay Jerry Johnson and Ryan Wilson face Ms. Extreme and Theron Nikolas! Xander Payne will be at ringside, and one can only wonder if he’ll do something to sabotage his former friend and tag partner! But given that Theron and Jay are competing before their title match meet-up at House of Glass, both men are looking to garner the momentum and get a bit of an advantage heading into that bout!
Jake Mercer: Drake Armstrong has a tall task ahead of him in the form of Cy Henderson! My Limothy, God Conqueror, World Beater, and the man with the best hair in the business, second to only me, will look to exact some revenge against Prince TOHRU, and hopefully, my king will take him down!
Flannery McCoy: It does seem like it’s KAI-ZEN’s night to take over as after that, Shinzo Sasaki makes his own in-ring debut against Chris Elite. Both bouts are make-or-break for all four Elitists involved!
Stew-O: And, of course, we have that blockbuster main event to look forward to! We have debuts, revenge, and tag team action all ready to go!
(Flannery smiles and takes a microphone into her hand.)
Flannery McCoy: We sure do! But for now, I’m going to take my leave from the table because, well, we have a different one for me to sit at in the ring.
Jake Mercer: YES! FINALLY, FLANN IS GONE! :blessed:
Flannery McCoy: Alright, relax. I’m just moderating the contract signing.
(Sure enough, as Flannery heads out, the camera pans to a shot of the ring. A wooden table is right in the middle of it, along with a folder containing a contract, two pens, and three chairs. Also in the ring is a sign showing off the graphic for Ms. Extreme and Kassidy Heart for the Universal Women’s Championship at House of Glass. Another sign to the left shows a still shot of Ms. Extreme raising the championship during her record-setting reign, while the other one to the right shows a picture of Kassidy Heart during her first stint with the title. The two rivals are presented in all of their decorated glory.)
(Flannery steps into the ring with her microphone. She turns towards the fans and speaks.)
Flannery McCoy: Ladies and gentlemen, I’m sure that many of you can’t wait for House of Glass to be here. Making its return to season seventeen, we already have so many incredible title matches lined up for the event, from the Specialists Championship fatal-four way, to the Interwire Championship match, the New Breed Championship triple threat, and of course, as revealed by Dynasty GM Tyrone Montgomery on social media, the EAW World Heavyweight Championship match between Bronson Daniels and SOSA Henderson will take place in Glass Wallz!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Flannery McCoy: It’s an exciting time. However, one match is coming up in particular that has captured the attention of the EAW Universe unlike any other, and that would be the Universal Woman’s Championship. Kassidy Heart will be defending the title against Ms. Extreme, and I don’t think I need to go too far into detail about why this match is so highly anticipated. You have two women who are all about making history and have been fierce rivals last season on Showdown.
Flannery McCoy: Ms. Extreme, by all accounts, and is a walking legend. Her time as Universal Women’s Champion set the bar high during season fifteen, which is undisputed. To many, she may be the greatest woman to have ever held the championship. At the same time, we have another woman who knows about being the best, and that happens to be Kassidy Heart. The most decorated Elitist of this generation, Kassidy has continued to evolve and outdo her own previous peaks. She always demands more of herself, and with her already being a two-time Universal Women’s Champion, there’s no doubt that she seeks to outdo every single woman who has held that same championship. This match will surely be thrilling and will go down in history as one of the most memorable moments in EAW history. With a title that is important for both on the line, the history that is shared between them, and both Elitists determined to prove their worth, this match is sure to be a spectacle.
Flannery McCoy: It’s a battle of two all-time greats, and they are set to face off against each other again in just two weeks. Now, it’s about time we make things official and put ink to paper! So, please join me in warmly welcoming the challenger: MS. EXTREME!
(‘They Call Me a God’ by NEFEX hits. Ms. Extreme steps out, eliciting a loud reaction from the crowd. She gets in the ring and takes a seat. Flannery does the same. Her theme fades. Ms. Extreme smirks.)
Ms. Extreme: That was quite the overview, Flann.
Flannery McCoy: Well, I had to give you your props. Only right when you’re the woman most commonly associated with the Universal Women’s Championship.
(The fans cheer, agreeing with that sentiment.)
Ms. Extreme: Oooooooh, I don’t think the head bitch in charge will like hearing that. :yikes: She seems not to like the simple fact that her legacy can never outdo mine!
(Flannery chuckles – noticeably nervous.)
Flannery McCoy: You think so? Haha. Hopefully, that isn’t the case.
(Flannery clears her throat.)
Flannery McCoy: Well, it seems you aren’t timid by Kassidy.
Ms. Extreme: No. I’m not. Why should I be? I’m easily the toughest challenger she will have to deal with. Besides, that championship she’s holding? You said it yourself – people look at it and think of me. I carried that title for 225 days, and my reign isn’t just in the record books because of how long I held it. I had an all-time great reign, regardless of the slick crap Kass tried to throw at me the last time we faced off and even last week, and it makes her bitter. She’s an egotistical bitch who wants to be the best in every regard, and even if she beat me? She still has her work cut out for her. She just can’t stand that the EAW exists outside of her, and I’m not caught up in her delusional little bubble. She’s not the greatest; she never has, been, and never will be.
(Some of the fans react. The redhead shrugs before laughing.)
Ms. Extreme: Trust me, I am not Miku Sakai. I am the real deal. I am the biggest threat that stands in her way, especially with the roll I’ve been on. She may have carried Dynasty on her back at Territorial Invasion, but I did the same thing. I was at least able to get the pin with SOSA, as we both took down Scott Diamond! Meanwhile, Myles stole the show and got the win by pinning Jamie! The supposed “GrEaTeSt oF aLl TiMe” couldn’t at least be the contributor and secured the victory, but thinks she’s above me? Kassidy needs to get real for once and stop acting like she’s gawd’s greatest gift on Earth. She was dumb enough to already try and overlook me last week, getting all caught up in being a dual-champion, and wanted to focus more on POTARA than me. She’s just setting herself up to fail, but you know what? I won’t complain. Kassidy has a nasty habit of thinking that no one can ever step up to her, but that bitch will be in for a rude awakening come House of Glass. You don’t look over Ms. Extreme. Ever.
Flannery McCoy: You’re more than ready to win, it seems.
Ms. Extreme: Of course. I’m looking forward to being the real, legitimate two-time, two-time champion for that title and continuing to add to what I did for it. Not only that, but I get to kill Kassidy’s ego all in one night. That’s two things I get to knock out all in one match! She’s going to be overconfident and cocky all because of one win, but she’ll come to realize how stupid she looks for doing so. She can try to think she has what it takes to scrub me out of the record books, but there is only one Ms. Extreme, and I can never be written off. In the long run, she isn’t better than me. She isn’t a bigger name than me. She isn’t a better champion now than me when I held that same title I helped to elevate. She can say that I had the opportunity all because of some talent who couldn’t handle the pressure and dropped the ball, but I picked that bitch up and carried it with me everywhere I went. That can never be taken away from me, and it never will. At House of Glass, she’ll come to know that, and she’ll remember that before there was a Kassidy Heart, there was me.
(Ms. Extreme smiles, putting down the mic.)
Flannery McCoy: Some strong assertions there from the challenger. However, you aren’t the only one confident about House of Glass. In fact, I think it’s about time we bring her out here. After all, this contract signing wouldn’t be complete without the champion herself: KASSIDY HEART!
(‘Partition (Smearcase Trap Remix)’ by Beyoncé plays throughout, spurring a loud, mixed reaction from the fans. The Universal Women’s Champion comes on out with her own microphone, with a half-puzzled, half-annoyed look taking hold of Kassidy Heart. She stands on the stage for a moment, all while Ms. Extreme whips her head around to look at her. The camera focuses on dueling shots of the two women, zooming in on their faces back and forth before the view settles on Kassidy. Her theme fades. Raising the microphone, Kassidy scoffs before she breaks out into laughing.)
Kassidy Heart: Um… wow. Okay. I’m sorry, but you cannot be serious. Granted, you were absolutely moronic last week and even before that when we last faced off, but wow. I don’t think I’m the one who is delusional here.
(Kassidy shakes her head as she chuckles. She walks down the ramp. Ms. Extreme rolls her eyes.)
Ms. Extreme: Everyone is moronic and stupid in your eyes, Kassidy. It’s repetitive.
Kassidy Heart: But not nearly as repetitive as you spewing the same crap time after time again. Look at you, bragging about your record and even going so far as to insinuate that all I’m doing is chasing after you and your legacy. Camille, we need to get one thing straight here: I have never been in the camp of chasing after others and their careers here. I have always been in the business of being myself. Besides, those records of yours and the history you want to brag about are child’s play. 225 days is cute until people remember 316. Being able to portray yourself as a record-setter seems nice, until you remember you never won King of Elite or Grand Rampage.
(Kassidy gets in the ring, still eyeing down Ms. Extreme.)
Kassidy Heart: I’m not trying to outdo your career. I already did it. Multiple times, in fact. I’ve had far more memorable moments and accomplishments here than you, but of course, you think you can run your mouth and expect for me not to call you out on it. Maybe your words would work on someone with an actually frail ego, but not me. I’m pretty sure I did give you credit at least for being the longest-reigning champion for this title leading up to King of Elite last year, but my mind isn’t what it used to be. At any rate, I just find it hilarious you’re already on the defense. You’re slinging shit my way and it is not sticking. I’m not petty, Camille, but it’s clear you want to be just that all because you KNOW you have to try and catch up to me. We both have been wrestling since REVOLT!, but guess who ended up being a hall of famer sooner? Guess whose legacy has been legitimately immortalized? I’m not like you who has to be a sitting duck and wait for her own career to get recognized. But, I won’t waste my time going blow by blow with you. It’s evident that my career has eclipsed yours entirely, and that gets underneath your skin.
Ms. Extreme: Oh, no, Kassdy, it doesn’t. What gets underneath my skin is you being an arrogant asshole and thinking that you’re better than everyone else, including me.
(Kassidy takes her seat across from her.)
Kassidy Heart: Maybe it’s because I am? :mjlol: I did beat you, after all. You were putting on a brave face, thinking you had what it took to beat me, but at King of Elite, I killed your little persona and showed you to be another supposed all-time great who can’t match up to me. It’s that simple. You weren’t the better woman, and it’s funny because you tried to use your own career against me, but it didn’t work then, and it isn’t going to work now.
Ms. Extreme: And what makes you think that? I’m in my prime. I’m kicking ass. I’ve proven I still have what it takes to be world champion.
Kassidy Heart: Yeah, because you managed to beat Scott two-to-one. Am I supposed to be impressed with that?
Ms. Extreme: I don’t need to impress you, bitch.
Kassidy Heart: Oh! Someone sure is feeling spicy tonight, hm? Almost makes me want to go over there and see how fast I can kill that fire of yours.
Ms. Extreme: Not going to happen, Kass. Besides, I think Pandora was a lot closer to doing that to me months back than you ever did.
Kassidy Heart: Trying to compare me to a glorified mid-carder? Oh, now that is heinous even for your standards. You can’t even get underneath my own skin correctly. Then losers like you will cry about me, complaining about never taking the competition seriously, but how am I supposed to feel when this is the material being given to me? You’re boring, Camille. You have no real bite to you. You’re like the least compelling sister in your family.
Ms. Extreme: And you’re the least compelling bitch that Mr. DEDEDE has fucked.
Kassidy Heart: Yeah, I don’t even think I need to take melatonin tonight. I think all of these generic insults low-effort people like you put out are enough to put me to sleep. :mjlol: Come on, Camille. We have a contract signing to do! Don’t make me doze off at this moment.
Ms. Extreme: Maybe a punch to your face will help open those eyes up.
Kassidy Heart: Huh. Threats. A drastic jump, but that has perked me up a bit. Makes me actually want to see if you’ll carry through with your threats or if you’re just pushing out hot air again with no real flame behind you.
Ms. Extreme: So why wait any longer? Why not find that out now, you egotistical jackass?
Flannery McCoy: Wait, I–
(Kassidy and Ms. Extreme shoot up from their chairs. The fans go nuts, looking to see them fight! Both women glare at each other and step closer.)
(…)
(…)
(…But Kassidy snickers.)
Kassidy Heart: You know what? No. I’m not doing this. You won’t press me enough to make me fight you, Camille. As fun as it may be for me to take this pen that’s on the table and jam it into you, I’m not going to stoop down to your level of ignorance. I’m Kassidy freaking Heart. We run things on my time. You can throw your cheap shots at me, but all you’re doing is exposing how much it pisses you off to see me do everything that you’ve done but better. So much for Ms. Extreme being irreplaceable, huh?
(Kassidy takes the pen and opens up the folder, revealing the contract. She signs on the dotted line before pushing it along with the pen towards the challenger.)
Kassidy Heart: After all, House of Glass is only two more weeks away. I think I can wait a little longer before I completely embarrass you again.
(A harsh chuckle leaves Ms. Extreme lips.)
Ms. Extreme: Oh, yeah? Well, I hope you continue to think that, because when we meet up again, Kassidy, it will be all over for you. I could put you through this table if I really wanted to be petty, but I think it’ll be more satisfying if I lay your ass out in Japan and beat you to get that championship instead.
(She takes the pen and signs her name.)
Ms. Extreme: I’ll repay the favor from last season, and even better? I get to take away what you hold near and dear to you. You may have been able to elevate yourself a little bit at my expense, but you aren’t going to remain a champion at the expense of my legacy. That title will always belong to me, and at House of Glass, it’s returning to its rightful owner.
(Both women glare at each other. Flannery carefully reaches over to take the folder and pen.)
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, I’ll, um, I’ll just take this, if you two don’t mind…
(She looks over the contract. Everything seems to be good.)
Flannery McCoy: Great! It’s official, then! Ms. Extreme and Kassidy Heart at House of Glass!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Flannery McCoy: The tension sure is thick, but I’m sure that will just lead you two to put on an absolute barn burner! I’m sure the fans can’t wait to–
Kassidy Heart: Shut up.
Flannery McCoy: !!!!!!
Crowd: :lupe:
(Kassidy sneers at Flannery.)
Kassidy Heart: I saw what you were trying to do earlier with that little introduction for Ms. Extreme. Leave it to you to be petty still all because I ended up being successful in spite of you holding me back.
Flannery McCoy: I–
Kassidy Heart: Don’t worry, though. Once the dust settles, Flannery, you’ll have no choice but to acknowledge me as the greatest female Elitist to have ever held this championship…
(Her head turns towards Ms. Extreme.)
Kassidy Heart: And so will you.
(Kassidy emphatically drops the mic on the table. Her theme hits and the champion take her leave, having the Universal Women’s Championship firmly on her shoulder. Flannery watches on along with Ms. Extreme. As Kassidy heads up the ramp, a determined and confident look settles on her face.)
Stew-O: Well… that was… intense.
Jake Mercer: I could’ve sworn Kassidy would’ve torn Flannery apart.
Stew-O: At least she and Ms. Extreme composed themselves in the end. Still, it looked like a fight was nearly about to break out between the two. Given these two Elitists as well, I think the match would’ve been able to take place if they got their hands on each other.
(Flannery heads back to her seat on the commentary table.)
Flannery McCoy: That lady is never going to let that grudge go.
Jake Mercer: Can’t blame her. You kinda did suck as general manager. :troll:
Flannery McCoy: Haha, very funny, Jake.
Stew-O: At least nothing insane ended up happening. However, it’s clear that Kassidy and Ms. Extreme are ready to tear into each other if it means further solidifying their respective legacies. Bad blood was always going to come into play since Ms. Extreme was rewarded this match for her efforts at Territorial Invasion. Things haven’t imploded for now, but who knows what can happen next week or tonight?
Jake Mercer: The night certainly is still young. At least Kassidy is returning backstage to prepare for her tag match with Sienna!
(Ms. Extreme shakes her head and leaves. She pauses though, stopping short of the ramp. She looks back at the sign in the ring displaying the image of her raising the Universal Women’s Champion. The camera focuses on that shot of her before Friday Night Dynasty fades to commercials.)
(A commercial is shown for House of Glass.)
(The camera would fade back down to the ringside area. Kassidy Heart is seen stretching in her corner, as her theme would be blasting throughout the speakers.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Unfuckwithable’ by Deez Nuts would hit the speakers shortly after, the crowd not giving a very warm welcome as Sienna Jade would make her way out onto the stage. With a smile on her face and oozing the confidence, she makes her way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! Residing in Seattle, Washington, weighing in at 135 pounds, she is ‘UNFUCKWITHABLE!!!!’ EAW HALL OF FAMER!!! SIENNA JADE!!!!!!!!
(Then, ‘Partition (Smearcase Trap Remix)’ by Beyonce hits. Kassidy Heart returns for the second time tonight in her in-ring attire, posing confidently with her championship. She meets up with Sienna who is excited teaming with her best. Even with the heated confrontation she had with Ms. Extreme earlier, she can’t help but smile as she links up with her long-time partner.)
Stephie Love: And her partner! From Sydney, Australia, weighing in at 141 pounds… she is the EAW Universal Women’s Champion and EAW Hall of Famer!!! KASSIDY HEART!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Jaded Hearts are back in tag team action yet again as they take on the recently formed and since then dominant faction of KAI-ZEN, and their members in MITSU and Mig De Decker!
Flannery McCoy: This is going to be a tough challenge for both Sienna Jade and Kassidy Heart, especially with what KAI-ZEN have proven themselves capable of in recent weeks. Nonetheless, this is sure to be a huge match.
(Once Sienna would enter into the ring, ‘Arkadia’ by BABYMETAL would then begin to blast throughout the speakers of the arena, the crowd booing even louder than before as both Mig De Decker, and MITSU of KAI-ZEN would make their way out onto the ramp. They look focused for tonight, the biggest match of their careers, as they make their way down to the ring.)
Stephie Love: And their opponents! They are the team of MIG DE DECKER AND MITSU… THEY ARE… KAI-ZEN!!!!!!!!!!
Flanery McCoy: Speak of the devils. KAI-ZEN have been a fierce group since their arrival onto the scene at Territorial Invasion, and they have taken no prisoners, and they may include Jaded Hearts here tonight.
Stew-O: This is the biggest math of their respective careers. Definitely a huge win to cherish if they are able to survive the Jaded Hearts tonight.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: AND THIS OPENING MATCH HERE ON FRIDAY NIGHT DYNASTY IS NOW UNDERWAY! Jaded Hearts reunite once more, in order to take on the team of MITSU and Mig De Decker of KAI-ZEN! We start this match with Sienna Jade and MITSU, and they get right into the action almost immediately, as they rush to the center of the ring and into a collar and elbow tie up!
Flannery McCoy: And Sienna Jade is able to quickly break through the lockup, pulling MITSU over into a side headlock, but MITSU is able to quickly escape out of it; slipping his head through the hold, and he then throws a shoot kick right into the back of Sienna’s leg! This catches Sienna off guard, as she stumbles over and into the ropes of the ring.
Jake Mercer: And MITSU looks to take early advantage of this, as he grabs a hold of Sienna by the wrist, before irish whipping her off and into the ropes… AND MITSU WOULD THEN DROP SIENNA RIGHT DOWN TO THE MAT WITH AN ARMDRAG UPON HER REBOUNDING OFF OF THE ROPES, AND THE HALL OF FAMER GOES DOWN JUST LIKE THAT IN A MERE INSTANT!
Stew-O: And it looks like MITSU isn’t done, as he is able to keep a hold of Sienna’s arm as they both crash down to the mat below from the armdrag! MITSU wrenches on the arm as he pulls Sienna back into a seated position, and begins to drag her back and into his corner, as Mig De Decker is going to get the tag into the match!
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: And Mig quickly enters into the ring, as MITSU is going to pull Sienna Jade back up to her feet, throwing her over and into a snapmare, as Decker shoots off of the ropes, AND HE REBOUNDS OFF OF THEM, BEFORE CATCHING SIENNA WITH A HUGE BOOT TO THE FACE! Sienna goes down, and KAI-ZEN looks to have the early advantage of this match over two Hall Of Famers and two of the greatest Elitists that this company has ever seen!
Jake Mercer: And I don’t think Mig De Decker is done just yet with the advantage that he has over a former world champion, as he grabs Sienna by the hair, and pulls her back over and into the center of the ring, before pulling her back to her feet… BUT SIENNA IS GOING TO START FIGHTING BACK; LEFTS AND RIGHTS!
Stew-O: Mig is being caught off guard from these sudden flurry of strikes by Sienna Jade, as Sienna is able to push Mig away, before she runs off of the ropes herself… ONLY TO BE CAUGHT AND STOPPED RIGHT INTO HER TRACKS WITH A HUGE AND STIFF DROPKICK TO THE BRIDGE OF HER NOSE BY MIG DE DECKER! SIENNA GOES DOWN, AND MIG JUMPS OVER AND INTO THE QUICK COVER!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: AND SIENNA JADE KICKS OUT…
Jake Mercer: BUT MIG DE DECKER MAKES SURE THAT HE QUICKLY PICKS SIENNA RIGHT BACK TO HER FEET UPON THE KICK OUT, WRAPPING HIS ARMS AROUND HER WAIST… AND A HUGE BRIDGING GERMAN SUPLEX!!!! Sienna Jade crashes right back into the mat, and this time right onto her head, as De Decker goes for yet another cover in this match!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: But yet another kick out by the Hall Of Famer, and Mig De Decker does not look to be happy right now. But I’m sure he realises very well that it was going to take so much more than just that to put away someone the caliber of Sienna Jade, so the best choice would be to get right back on the offensive, and it looks like he is going to do exactly that.
Flannery McCoy: Mig pulls Sienna back up to her feet… AND HE SENDS HER FLYING BACK INTO THE CORNER OF KAI-ZEN WITH A POWERFUL IRISH WHIP THAT SENDS HER SPINE FIRST INTO THOSE TURNBUCKLES! Sienna does not look to be in a good spot right now… AND MIG RUSHES IN, CATCHING HER WITH A HUGE CLOTHESLINE, BEFORE MITSU WOULD TAG HIMSELF BACK IN!
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: You could just tell that Kassidy Heart wants to be able to get involved within this match right now, but KAI-ZEN are doing an amazing job at cutting the ring, as Mig would grab a hold of Sienna… DROPPING HER INTO THE MAT WITH A HUGE BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX… AND THEN MITSU FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A HUGE SPRINGBOARD SPLASH, DRIVING HIS BODY WEIGHT DOWN RIGHT INTO HER ABDOMEN!
Stew-O: NO!!! SIENNA JADE IS ABLE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, AND MITSU CRASHES AND BURNS HARD INTO THE MAT! Sienna quickly starts to make the crawl towards her corner, and it looks like MITSU is going to try his hardest to stop her from doing so, but there is no use, AS SIENNA KICKS HIM AWAY, BEFORE JUMPING INTO THE AIR AND TAGGING THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION RIGHT INTO THE MATCH!
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: KASSIDY HEART IS IN!!! MITSU gets back to his feet, disappointed that he couldn’t stop Sienna from making the tag, BUT IT WASN’T GOING TO ALLOW FOR HIM TO REACT MUCH LONGER, AS KASSIDY TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A HUGE FLYING FOREARM SMASH RIGHT ONTO THE BRIDGE OF THE NOSE! MITSU GOES DOWN, AND KASSIDY RUSHES OFF OF THE ROPES AS HE GETS BACK TO HIS KNEES… KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE!
Jake Mercer: Kassidy Heart is on a roll right now, and it looks like she spots Mig De Decker who was yelling at her in his corner… AND SHE RUNS RIGHT IN, AND KNOCKS HIM RIGHT OFF OF THE APRON WITH A HUGE BOOT TO THE FACE! Mig goes flying; crashing and burning down to the ringside floor, as Kassidy quickly turns back around…
Stew-O: BUT MITSU EXPLODES RIGHT BACK UP TO HIS EET, AND HE RUNS RIGHT BACK IN AND AT KASSIDY HEART… ONLY FOR KASSIDY TO CATCH HIM, AND SHE LIFTS HIM OFF OF HIS FEET, DROPPING HIM HARD INTO THE MAT WITH A HUGE URANAGE SLAM!!! MITSU goes down hard into the mat, as Kassidy quickly drops down into the cover, looking to pick up the win here for the Jaded Hearts!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: MIG DE DECKER PULLS KASSIDY HEART OUT OF THE RING, AND HE THEN GRABS HER BY THE HEAD, SLAMMING HER RIGHT INTO THE BARRICADE BACK OF THE HEAD FIRST! That is a perfect way to calm down the storm of The Mauler; as Mig looks to use her previous concussions and head injuries to KAI-ZEN’s advantage, AS HE THEN SENDS HER CRASHING RIGHT INTO THE RING POST HARD!
Jake Mercer: KAI-ZEN has been extremely impressive within this match tonight, and it looks like it isn’t going to end as Mig quickly picks Kassidy back to her feet, tossing her into the ring! He climbs up onto the apron, and into the ring, tagging himself into the match!
(TAG!)
…
Stew-O: AND IT LOOKS LIKE SIENNA JADE IS GOING TO TRY TO STOP IT, BUT THE REFEREE QUICKLY FOCUSES HIS ATTENTION ON HER TO KEEP HER OUT! THIS ACCIDENTAL DISTRACTION MIGHT COST JADED HEARTS, AS MITSU IS BACK TO HIS FEET, RECOVERED…
Flannery McCoy: AND MIG THROWS KASSIDY INTO MITSU’S ARMS, MITSU CATCHING HER INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX HOLD… AND MIG RUNS IN, NAILING A HUGE EUROPEAN UPPERCUT AS MITSU CONNECTS WITH THE BRIDGING GERMAN SUPLEX!!! ‘HASHI-PLEX’ CONNECTS!!!! It connects big, and Mig De Decker jumps over MITSU and bridges into a jackknife cover, as the referee focuses back on the action, and MITSU gets out of the ring! KAI-ZEN is going to steal it!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: ONLY FOR SIENNA JADE TO GET INTO THE RING ANYWAYS, AND SHE JUMPS IN TO BREAK UP THE COVER!!! KAI-ZEN almost stole it right then and there, but Sienna Jade is able to keep this match alive for the Jaded Hearts! But it looks like MITSU is not happy about that whatsoever, as he quickly tries to enter into the ring… ONLY FOR SIENNA TO KNOCK HIM RIGHT BACK DOWN WITH A MASSIVE FOREARM SMASH!
Stew-O: And it looks like Kassidy Heart is starting to recover as Mig De Decker pop back to his feet, and he looks pissed off, SWINGING RIGHT FOR SIENNA’S HEAD, BUT SIENNA DUCKS IT, AND PUSHES MIG BACKWARD… AND KASSIDY TURNS HIM AROUND, BEFORE PLANTING HIM INTO THE MAT WITH A HUGE SPINEBUSTER! Sienna rushes over back towards her corner and exits out onto the apron, as Kassidy then tags her right back into the match!
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: AND SIENNA JADE IS GOING TO CLIMB RIGHT TO THE TOP ROPE, WHILE MIG DE DECKER IS IN PERFECT POSITION… JUMPING OFF FOR ‘STARSTRUCK!!!’ THE DIVING MOONSAULT FROM THE TOP ROPE CRASHES DOWN ONTO MIG!!! Sienna quickly hooks the leg, and Jaded Hearts have this match won here!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: MIG DE DECKER KICKED OUT! HE KICKED OUT, AND I CAN’T BELIEVE IT! I DON’T THINK JADED HEARTS CAN BELIEVE IT! They thought they had the match won right then and there, but KAI-ZEN is able to stay alive thanks to Mig being able to kick out of the diving moonsault from Sienna Jade! This matchy has been amazing from the opening bell, but I don’t think that Sienna is willing to let this match go any longer.
Stew-O: And it looks like we’re going to see exactly that; her putting an end to this match, the final nail in the coffin of KAI-ZEN within this opening match for Dynasty as she drags Mig De Decker towards the center of the ring… AND SHE SETS HIM UP FOR ‘RDG!!!!’ THE BRIDGING FISHERMAN SUPLEX TO PUT MIG OUT; TURN HIS LIGHTS OFF ONCE AND FOR ALL!!! THE BRIDGING FISHERMAN SUPLEX CONNECTS-
Flannery McCoy: NO! NO! MIG DE DECKER WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF IT AND LAND ON HIS FEET, STUMBLING INTO HIS CORNER, AND MITSU TAGS HIMSELF IN BLINDLY!
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: And I don’t think that Sienna noticed the tag whatsoever, as she quickly rushes towards Mig… BUT MIG WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND HER… BEFORE HE PULLS HER FORWARD, AND SENDS SIENNA HEAD FIRST INTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE, DAMN NEAR SNAPPING HER HEAD BACK! That whiplash looked extremely painful, but MITSU is in the ring now, and he pulls Sienna out of the corner, AND INTO THE RIPCORD POSITION!!!
Stew-O: AND HE TURNS HER RIGHT AROUND AND FLIPS HER INSIDE OUT WITH THE LARIAT!!! THE RIPCORD LARIAT!!! ‘DOYEN’S DOMINION’ CONNECTS, AND SIENNA JADE LOOKS TO BE COMPLETELY OUT!!! MITSU quickly rolls her over onto her back, and he hooks the leg in deep, he is seizing this very moment!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: KICK OUT! KICK OUT! SIENNA JADE KICKS OUT!!! KAI-ZEN almost had it won right then and there, but it wasn’t over just yet! MITSU does not look happy whatsoever, and it looks like he is calling for Mig De Decker to get back into the ring, and he looks to do exactly that while Sienna is down trying to recover-
Jake Mercer: ‘GO TO GAWD!’ ‘GO TO GAWD!’ TO THE SPEAR FROM KASSIDY HEART OUT OF NOWHERE DAMN NEAR CUTS MIG DE DECKER RIGHT IN HALF, AND SHE STOPS HIM IN HIS TRACKS! MITSU does not know what had just happened, as he picks Kassidy right back up to her feet, BUT KASSIDY SLIPS THE SHIT OUT OF HIM, AND LAUNCHES HIM INTO THE CORNER!
Stew-O: And it looks like Kassidy is going to help Sienna back to her feet, as they rush towards the corner, and Kassidy gets the tag back into the match, and MITSU looks to be in trouble!
Flannery McCoy: Kassidy Heart enters right back into the ring, and she is stalking MITSU DOWN… AND SHE RUNS IN, AND TAKES HIS HEAD RIGHT OFF WITH THE HELLUVA KICK!!! MITSU IS OUT COLD FROM ‘RAPTURE,’ AND SHE IS DONE AS SHE PULLS MITSU IN, AND MITSU FALLS TO ALL FOURS…
Jake Mercer: AND ‘PAINFULLY EVER AFTER’ CONNECTS!!! THE CURB STOMP SENDING MITSU’S SKULL PLANTING RIGHT INTO THE CANVAS!!! KASSIDY ROLLS HIM OVER AND INTO THE COVER!!! Mig De Decker is nowhere to be found!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
TTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS… THE JADED HEARTS!!!!!!
(‘Partition (Smearcase Trap Remix)’ would hit the speakers once more to a mixed reaction of cheers and boos, as Kassidy Heart would push herself off of the lifeless body of MITSU, getting back to her feet as Sienna Jade would run in for an embrace, and two would get their arms raised high into the air in victory.)
Stew-O: What a match we just witnessed to open Friday Night Dynasty here tonight! KAI-ZEN brought everything into this match and then some, but in the end, it wasn’t enough to be able to defeat the Jaded Hearts.
Flannery McCoy: You have to give it up for KAI-ZEN whether you like them or not. They were very impressive in tonight’s match against two Hall Of Famers. In the end, it just wasn’t enough to get the job done.
(Kassidy Heart would be handed the Universal Women’s Championship as the two would continue to celebrate their victory. Mig would help MITSU out of the ring, looking disappointed in their defeat as the camera fades elsewhere.)
(The show transitions to a shot of the backstage area of the Capital Indoor Stadium. The camera focuses on a designated interview area, with Dynasty Backstage Correspondent Michael Belfort seen standing by. He has a microphone in hand and a smile on his face as from there, he begins to speak toward the camera.)
Michael Belfort: Welcome back, and what an opener to Friday Night Dynasty we’ve had so far! From the Universal Women’s Championship Contract Signing for House of Glass, to The Jaded Hearts facing Mig De Decker and MITSU of KAI-ZEN, it has really set a precedent for what’s to come as we continue the show! There’s so much more we have for you tonight, but we’d be remiss not to talk about what happened last week speaking of KAI-ZEN. They have not been afraid to make a name for themselves, continuing to attack various names on the roster to get their point across. Right now, I’m here with one of those victims, who has expressed their unhappiness with what happened throughout the week, and whoi I’m sure will not be short on words tonight. So without further adieu, please welcome my guest tonight… Chris Eli-
???: RICKY!!!
(The camera quickly pans over to Chris Elite storming into the scene. He’s obviously very unhappy after what happened last week, and it’s clear that right now he’s not in the business for any introductions right now, he wants to get straight into it.)
Michael Belfort: Well, Chris, thank you for joining us tonight-
(Chris snatches the microphone from Michael’s hand, beginning to speak toward the camera.)
Chris Elite: What you on?! Let’s have beef! Let’s do it for real now! I wanna go all the way up! I wanna do it! Stop hiding! You hiding forever! RICKY-
(Chris stops himself, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, stepping back away from the camera and handing the microphone back to Michael.)
Chris Elite: I apologize. What I meant to say was thank you for having me. 🙂
Michael Belfort: Uh, appreciate it? Well, as we just mentioned, last week after your meeting with Tyrone Montgomery, you were brutally attacked by KAI-ZEN on your way out. Obviously that wasn’t the end of it for the night, with Myles and Joso ending up as victims themselves, but I just wanted to get your thoughts on the situation.
(Chris raises an eyebrow.)
Chris Elite: Now, Michael, how do you think I’m feeling? :cmon:
Michael Belfort: :lupe: A little unhappy-
Chris Elite: :cmon:!!!
Michael Belfort: Angry???
Chris Elite: Yeah, that’s the PG version of it. Now look, I’ll give them credit for picking their spots. Not a lot of stables get by passively, you have to make a statement, and that’s what they did. Now I would be far more encouraging of it if it happened to be anyone else, but I just so happened to be on their radar, and it just so happened to be at my expense. These past couple of months since returning to Friday Night Dynasty have not been my best, you can say that everything has gone wrong. Yes, even though I can toot my horn and say Dynasty won Brand Warfare, everything else has just fallen flat of expectations. From that bozo Andre Walker taking my Gawd Contract, to now this group of bozos thinking shit is sweet out here, I’m getting real sick of being a stepping stone for others, especially for a group of rejects who couldn’t make it as singles competitors if they tried. I’m not the Chris Elite who came back and allowed himself to be walked all over, I’m past that, and the fact that there are still some people out there, including KAI-ZEN, who think otherwise make me feel a certain way.
Michael Belfort: After you got attacked we saw Ricky say that you were just “one of many”, and of course that was shown throughout the night-
Chris Elite: He fucked up I’ll tell you that. I saw what they did to Limmy two weeks ago and didn’t think much of it, it’s routine to go for the bigger prey and get your ass kicked because of it, it was none of my business. But the fact that they moved onto me, then Joso, then Myles, just because they thought that they could get away with it? That’s crazy I’m not even gonna lie to you. I don’t like being treated as some sort of number, I don’t like being disrespected the way that they’ve been doing me, and “one of many” definitely means that their focus isn’t entirely on me, and after what they did, something like that would be in their best interest. My calendar heading into House of Glass was completely free, I didn’t really know what to expect from all of this. But now it’s clear that I’m going to have to focus all my attention on KAI-ZEN and what they’ve been doing, and I don’t care if I have any help along the way, I’m going to make sure that they regret everything they’ve done since their debut.
Michael Belfort: What does that mean?
Chris Elite: Bro what do you think it means?!
Michael Belfort: I’m sorry.
Chris Elite: It means that one-by-one, I’m going to beat all of them. I’m going to make sure to show them that they messed with the wrong guy, and that’s going to start with Shinzo Suckazaki later on tonight in the show. If I can beat him, well, the rest of the team might as well give up. Cause I’m not gonna be afraid to kick Shitsu, Mid De Dickeater, or Prince Tofu’s ass either. I’m not here to fuck around anymore, and if they think this is a game I’ll show you just how serious I can get when the bell rings. Then we’ll see what Ricky has to say if he still thinks that I’m just “one of many”, RICKY!
Michael Belfort: Well, we thank you for joining us-
Chris Elite: WHEN I CATCH YOU RICKY! RICKY WHEN I CATCH YOU RICKY! RICKY WHEN I CATCH YOU RICKY! RICKY WHEN I CATCH YOU RICKY! RICKY WHEN I CATCH YOU RICKY! RICKY WHEN I CATCH YOU RICKY! RICKY WHEN I CATCH YOU RICKY! RICKY WHEN I CATCH YOU RICKY! RICKY WHEN I CATCH YOU RICKY! RICKY WHEN I CATCH YOU RICKY! RICKY WHEN I CATCH YOU RICKY! RICKY WHEN I CATCH YOU RICKY! RICKY WHEN I CATCH YOU RICKY! RICKY WHEN I CATCH YOU RICKY!
(Chris continues to repeat the same phrase as he walks away from the scene, Michael looking very confused about what just happened. He looks toward the camera with a perplexed look on his face before slowly raising his microphone.)
Michael Belfort: Back to you… guys…?
(Michael smiling awkwardly while the camera pans out is the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty from there begins to fade back to the ring.)
(We return to scheduled programming as the fans strap in for the second match of the night.)
Stephie Love: This match is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(“What Comes Around (Spanish Version)” by Ill Nino would blast through the speakers as Christian Martinez walks on the stage. He smirks and shakes his head confidently before walking down to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… From San Juan, Puerto Rico… Weighing in at 215 pounds… He is the “World’s Last Hope”… CHRISTIAAAN MARTINEEEEEEZZ!
Flannery McCoy: This man right here is looking to get that first victory in EAW. A new Elitist that instantly went all in when it came to trying to get one over on Cody Maverick. He insinuated that he thought Cody Maverick is just a carbon copy experiment that the company has tried to show everyone to get over. Whether that’s the truth, is Christian’s job to expose tonight.
Stew-O: He certainly had big words for someone who in singles matches has been undefeated since his only loss. He has been racking up singles victories so winning against Cody would certainly help elevate the young Elitist and climb the ranks.
Jake Mercer: But that will be one tough job against him. If I were Christian, I would be praying that I don’t get knocked out as soon as Maverick enters that ring. That’s the type of power he will be facing tonight. I’ll give him the chance to prove himself, but Cody is kind of used to this wrestling thing.
(Martinez’ theme fades out as “Lord Knows” by Rick Ross ft. Drake starts playing instead. Cody Maverick walks out from the curtains. He takes a quick glance at the crowd but ultimately never stops his b-line to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing his opponent… From Las Vegas, Nevada… Weighing in at 235 lbs… “The Sin City Superstar”… DRAAAAAAAAAAKE MAVERIIIICK!
Stew-O: Cody is certainly fired up tonight. You saw it in his promos when he was hyping up the fight, what Christian said to him pissed him off. It seems like he is going to bring the intensity he showed behind every word he said to the ring here tonight and bring it all to the MULLET MAN.
Jake Mercer: He most certainly is going to bring it tonight. I mean, everyone who has managed to piss him off has had to live with the consequences of it as they got their butts whooped by that man right there. There is only one person who escaped the wrath of Cody and that is the man we just saw team with MITSU against Jaded Hearts. Cody is making moves and he is certainly going to make even bigger ones in the future.
Flannery McCoy: We’ll see about that right now!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: Cody and Christian are both ready to give everything in order to secure that sweet sweet victory! Especially Cody it seems like because he just charges in and starts laying down a statement as all these right hands force Martinez into the corner!
Flannery McCoy: Like you said earlier Stew-O, Cody is not happy with what Christian had to say about him and it’s very clear with how aggressive these punches are! There is no holding back! The referee is forced to separate them with that 5-count.
Jake Mercer: Cody is already bringing that intensity! He lets the man go as the 4 gets counted and walks out of the corner spreading his arms. He has the right to be this confident, he has earned that by racking up this many wins!
Flannery McCoy: Right, just don’t count out Martinez yet! Cody charges in for a clothesline in the corner but eats the foot of the “MULLET MAN” instead. Christian is using that distance created and goes up to the second rope and leaps off, flooring his opponent with a crossbody!
Jake Mercer: He holds onto Maverick’s leg for the cover!
OOONNEEE!!
Stew-O: A swift kick out at the fresh count of 1. Cody shows him that it will take far more than that to wipe someone out with an 80% win percentage. But it seems like the young upstart took the kick out as a challenge as he grabs Meverick’s head and locks in a side headlock. He looks to deplete the man’s stamina!
Flannery McCoy: But the Sin City Superstar is already fighting back as he slowly forces both of them up to their feet. He starts pushing Christian towards the ropes, making him bounce off them and sending him towards the other side of the ring.
Jake Mercer: And a gnarly back elbow catches the Puerto Rican Elitist off the rebound! It was delivered so well that it forced him to roll to the outside to escape the onslaught from Cody! I said it once, I’ll say it again; Cody’s got it all figured out! He just needs that big match and he’s going down in history!
Stew-O: We’ll see about that when he gets there, right now he follows the man that tried to get an easy escape to the outside and tosses him right into the barricade! He wastes no other time and tosses him back into the ring, taking no risk of getting counted out!
Flannery McCoy: Maverick slides back in but Martinez is back to his feet. The Sin City Superstar tries to catch up to the World’s Last Hope as he starts running towards the ropes. Christian leaps into the air and flies back into the man chasing him and drops him with a Springboard Clothesline! He’s favoring the air right now and it’s paying off! He hooks the leg again for another cover!
OOONNEE!
Jake Mercer: Another kick out at the count of one! That’s what I am talking about when I say this man has been unbeatable! Most people stay down for way longer and he just got out instantly! Cody has been building up momentum and Christian managed to get some lucky big shots, but I feel like that will change!
Stew-O: Well, whatever it’s going to take to stop the new Elitist’s big counters is going to have to come in fast before it’s too late! Christian again doesn’t let the kick out go without any consequences. He reacts fast and plants his knee against the spine of Cody and wraps his hands around the chin of him as he locks in a rear chinlock! Another resthold to start eating away at the stamina of the “Sin City Superstar”.
Jake Mercer: But right there is Cody fighting back again. He rolls sideways to get to a point where he can start sending elbows to the gut of the youngster! The hold is broken up as Maverick gets up and uses an Irish Whip to send his opponent into the corner! He runs over to him and hits a massive corner clothesline! This time not countered!
Flannery McCoy: He now mounts the corner and starts to punch away at his opponent! One! Two! Three! Four! These punches keep hitting him right in the spots that hurt the most. That boxing background is coming in very handy for Maverick right now. Christian has nowhere to go! Cody has beaten him down so much that he has no choice but to drop down! Maverick gets off the corner and creates distance, spreading his arms to a standing ovation from fans as he starts dominating again..
Stew-O: Yeah, the fans may not like him as a person but they can admire the technique and skill he brings to the ring. He is just stalking Martinez right now whose face is red as he slowly pulls himself up and walks towards the middle of the ring, but that is right into a clothesline from Cody! He is on fire right now and is looking to make this kid pay! And just as I say that, Martinez gets picked up for a quick sidewalk slam!
Jake Mercer: Planted into the ring like the ragdoll he is to someone like Cody Maverick! Maverick is a star in the making and everyone that doesn’t see that is just a hater! Look at the way he is just easily locking in that side headlock! Then he uses his other arm to start punching away at the head of Martinez! Just hurting him!
Stew-O: He is certainly teaching the “MULLET MAN” that he shouldn’t have taken him so lightly! And now that he lets loose of him, it isn’t to hold back. No instead, he gets up and jumps up in the sky and drops the elbow on the chest of the new Elitist! If you thought his debut here would go smoothly, you would be wrong, because this match has been a punishment for Christian so far!
Flannery McCoy: But he has the chance to recover as Cody Maverick gets back up and starts firing himself up by taunting towards the crowd. Martinez takes the chance and rolls to the side to get on the apron and create some distance between the two of them. The “Sin City Superstar” notices however and grabs the man by the hair and pulls him to his feet.
Stew-O: But a swift counter from the youngster as he drops back down and makes Cody rebound off the ropes violently with a Hot Shot, sending him towards the center of the ring! Christian now, getting back inside of that ring and running towards Maverick and taking him down with a big running knee strike! He’s back to his feet however, forcing the “World’s Last Hope” to act quick and grab him by the arm and shoulder, throwing himself backwards to plant his opponent face-first into the mat! Quick cover again!
OOONNEEE!!
TW—
Jaker Mercer: Cody showing him yet again to bring the big guns by kicking out early out! This time, Christian is unable to take quick advantage this time as his opponent starts to roll towards the ropes to pull himself up. Martinez stands up himself and walks over to him and grabs his arm for an Irish Whip! But no, Maverick counters and sends him running to the ropes instead as he catches the youngster with a mean clothesline off the rebound!
Flannery McCoy: Now Maverick is running towards the ropes again. Meanwhile, Christian’s upper body ricochets off the mat causing him to go into a sitting position. This is Cody’s chance as he lowers his body to the same height as the body of Martinez as he floors him completely by using a sliding variant of the clothesline he just hit! He instantly hooks the leg for his own first pinfall attempt!
OOOONNNEEE!
TTTWW—
Jake Mercer: Damn it! Maverick also doesn’t get anywhere near that 3 count that you need to secure your spot as the winner of the match. Just like his opponent has been following most of his pinfalls with something to keep his opponent down, so is Cody right now! He grabs the head of Christian as he mounts him and starts throwing some haymakers like he’s been using throughout the whole match!
Stew-O: But it looks like Martinez isn’t easily giving him what he wants as he catches one of the punches and reverses that mount position and plants the shoulder of Cody Maverick on the mat with a sudden roll-up!
OOOONNNNEEEE!!!
TTTWWWOOOOO!!!
Flannery McCoy: The first 2 count of the match and it’s one that was done on Cody Maverick! Maybe that signature dominance that he shows within the ring is starting to slowly fade away as we need to prepare for this match to turn around instantly. Cody and Christian are both back to their feet as they both charge in and start striking away at each other!
Jake Mercer: Christian Martinez just can’t keep up with the punches that Cody Maverick is able to throw because of his boxing expertise. You know, Cody Maverick once won a wrestling match using nothing but stiff rights and lefts. The weirdest part… He won via submission! Just like Martinez should just submit to Cody when he gets the chance. Look, he gets knocked back!
Stew-O: I have multiple questions.The first one is how someone submitted to a punch? The second one..m Are you sure he was knocked back because Christian just used the ropes and rebounds off them to gain momentum and hit the man that you said was unmatchable in the face with a running big boot! Maverick gets knocked down because of it!
Flannery McCoy: Martinez isn’t hesitating after hitting such a big strike that floored his opponent, knowing that the best thing to do is to follow it up while he still can. He speeds to the corner and climbs up! He balances himself correctly before he leaps off the top rope! Beautiful moonsault right there! But he doesn’t go for the cover just yet!
Stew-O: No, he is stalking that man and waiting for Maverick to get back up with his back facing towards the young upstart. The stalking is working out as Cody does slowly get up and Martinez is able to stay behind the man. The very second he stands completely upright is the second his opponent strikes. The “MULLET MAN” leaps up in the air, grabbing the “Sin City Superstar” around his neck with his arm and driving his backwards into the mat with a signature Jumping Reverse Bulldog he calls “Starstruck”! And he hooks the legs!
OOOOONNNNEEEE!
TTTTWWWOOOOO!
TTTHH—
Jake Mercer: Thank goodness! Cody kicks out in time! I was worried that he might have lost it right there, but I should have known better than to assume something so foolish. I should have known he wasn’t going to stay down against something that isn’t your biggest move.
Flannery McCoy: Well speaking of those biggest moves, Martinez might be looking for one of them right now as he gets onto the apron and has the look of someone who smells victory nearby. As Cody slowly starts to rise to his feet, nearby the ropes, Martinez leaps up and slingshots over the ropes for that cutter—
Jake Mercer: BUT FLIES RIGHT INTO THAT LIGHTS OUT PUNCH FROM CODY! And if you think he isn’t knocked out enough, Maverick is calling for the very same move that ended Taylor Vanity last week. He drags him to his feet and the middle of the ring. The half nelson is in! He lifts him up and plants him with the High Roller! And he hooks the leg!
OOOONNNNEEEE!
TTTWWWWOOOO!
TTHHHREEEEEEE!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… The Sin City Superstar… COOOOODDDDYYYYY MAAAAAVVEEEERRIIIICKKK!
Stew-O: This has been the closest anyone has been to defeating Cody ever since that first loss. I think that both of them showed that they are capable of making it in the future of this business. Especially Cody Maverick adding another victory to his ever-growing collection of them.
Jake Mercer: I keep telling you to look out for the man because he brings a package that nobody else does! Today he got another dominant victory over an unfortunate victim that had to make his debut against someone like him.
Flannery McCoy: I wouldn’t exactly say that he was dominant, but he certainly walked away victorious. But you have to admire the fight that Christian Martinez was able to put up himself for a first match here in EAW. I can see both of these Elitists making even bigger moments in the future than the ones we saw tonight.
(Cody Maverick gets up and spreads his arms triumphantly, fresh off a win over the debuting Christian Martinez. The referee raises his hand up high as he can’t but let a big smile crack due to feeling good about yet another W in the bag. Martinez however, is left disappointed as shown when the camera pans to him, already on the outside going to the back as he limps there whilst holding his head and jaw. The scene fades elsewhere after briefly cutting back to Cody Maverick celebrating.)
(Backstage, the camera focuses to the general managers’ office. Inside of it…)
Richard Grant: My God, when will this boy hurry up? How do you offer us food but then you’re ten minutes late!
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: I know, right? Ugh. People like him have no class or any sort of respect. Should’ve expected it, though.
(Kensingten and Richard, everyone’s favorite dynamic authority figures on Dynasty, are backstage, annoyed as can be. Richard rolls up his sleeve to unveil the antiqued gold watch that’s nestled against the weathered skin of his wrist. Time seemed to stretch into eternity as they sat side by side, their impatience simmering beneath irritated faces, eager for the moment when their long-awaited dishes would finally grace their table.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: I texted him, but he never responded.
(With a sigh passing through her red-tinted lips, Kensingten glances at her phone. Sure enough, there was nothing. She glared at the glass screen as if she were internally cursing Tyrone through it. However, no matter what the haughty Southern woman did, the world wouldn’t magically bend to her will, delivering that long-awaited reply. She groans, setting the device down on the desk.)
Richard Grant: What an unprofessional ingrate! Not even a call or text? I get places like these are known for traffic and all of that, but back in my day, we ensured that we let people know when we were going to be late! By voicemail, by mail, by pigeon, by everything! This generation is absolutely abhorrent!
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Oh, they are so entitled, and Tyrone is no different. But that’s what happens when these companies don’t think carefully about the people they decide to hire and just hand them a job with little to no reasoning behind them. He ought to be ashamed of himself.
Richard Grant: Hmph! I’ll say! He is unfit to run this show. At least we are timely, professional, headstrong, AND we don’t just hand opportunities out like candy! I’d hate to think what this show would look like without our involvement. Dynasty would be known as the welfare show!
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Exactly. We actually want what’s best for this show, but no one else sees it that way. Apparently, we’re ra–
(BAM!!!)
Richard Grant: !!!
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: !!!
(With a deafening creak and a thunderous slam against the wall, the office door swings wildly open. Tyrone Montgomery pushes on through, eyeing down Kensingten and Richard. Shock colors their expression.)
Richard Grant: What the hell, boy?!! You could’ve broken the darn hinges off of that door right there! What is wrong with you?!
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Not only that, but where on Earth is our food? I don’t see you with it! We’ve been waiting here for a good while, you know!
(Tyrone adjusts his tie.)
Tyrone Montgomery: …I changed my mind.
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: You what?
Richard Grant: Didn’t your mama raise you to have some manners, or was she too busy getting Honey Buns and chips at the corner store with her stupid, dainty little card?! Because as far as I can recall, if you offer to buy people some food, you ought to make sure you have that food on you when you return to them!
Tyrone Montgomery: And you know what I recall? That I have never had to deal with two racist jerks in my entire career here!
(Kensingten and Richard gasp.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Excuse you? Racist? US?! Have you lost your mind!?
Tyrone Montgomery: No, I didn’t. In fact, I found it, and I’ve got a whole lot more sense to me now. I was by the door for a bit and about to enter before I heard you two, and I am absolutely appalled. Now, I’ve heard rumors about Kensingten, and Richard, I’ve been aware of the things you’ve said, but tonight, the two of you have confirmed what so many people have been complaining about when it comes to you. Welfare and EBT jokes? Really? That is sickening. You two are supposed to be watching over the talent here closely, but if this is how you’re talking about me, then I can only imagine what you say behind closed doors about the rest of the people here on Dynasty.
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: …
Richard Grant: …
(The three of them look back at the small hole that was left in the wall from the door, which remained open.)
Tyrone Montgomery: …I’ll pay for that. The point is, you two are awful. I am sick of the disrespect you have shown to me, the Elitists, and just about everyone here on Dynasty. The whole Territorial Invasion mess was just the last straw. At least SOSA is getting his title shot, but Chris won’t be getting his at House of Glass, especially with the whole KAI-ZEN mess. In fact, if you guys had just given him his reward, they wouldn’t have made him a target!
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Ooooh. So, Chris put you up to this, huh?
(Kensingten crossed her arms to her chest, narrowing her eyes at Tyrone.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: How disappointing. You really let that flaky, uncouth fool get to you? Please. Since when did he walk around as if he were Martin Luther King Jr. anyway? Leave it to your kind of people to always play the race card when they just can’t hold themselves accountable.
Tyrone Montgomery: No, Kensingten, you will NOT be doing this! That comment right there is exactly what I mean! You are a vile human, and so is Richard!
Richard Grant: Are we? For calling you out on all the bologna you like to pull? You ought to man up and stop whining like some darn brat for once.
Tyrone Montgomery: And what do you think I’m doing right now?
(Richard glares. However, before either he or Kensingten can speak, Tyrone speaks up.)
Tyrone Montgomery: I tried to keep myself open-minded. I tried to consider all angles. I didn’t want to jump in and start accusing the two of you of anything, but ever since the start of this season, you both have demonstrated how nasty you can be. Not only that, but this? This is my show. It should’ve been ours, but you two have disrespected me time after time again, not acknowledging my authority. The two of you were supposed to be assistants but worked your way up to being co-general managers. The key part there is ‘co’, as in cooperation. Joint. Mutual. At the very least, we are supposed to be equals. No one is supposed to be above the other.
(Tyrone sighs, an audible release of the pent-up frustration that had been gnawing at him. He can feel his body shaking. His trembling hands seek refuge within the pockets of his suit pants. Kensingten and Richard quell their argumentative attitudes.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Chris did suggest that I get rid of you two, but I don’t want to go down that route. At least not yet. The two of you do offer some bit of balance when you actually decide to work with me. At the very least, your judgments helped us craft the best representatives for Dynasty at Territorial Invasion, and the results reflect that. However, the two of you have tried to overtake my input, and I cannot stand for that. We are a team. There should be no overstepping or any attempts to diminish what I seek to contribute to this show. This has to end.
(Tyrone pauses before continuing.)
Tyrone Montgomery: The racist remarks, the insidious insults, the ganging up, and all of the weight-pushing will have to end. No arguments about it. We need to work together from now on. I have just as much of a voice, if not more, than the two of you. I know how to make this show succeed. I know what it’s like to make stars. That’s been evident even before the two of you came into the picture. So, I need you to respect me. Treat me as your equal. Moving forward, we will work on finding a common ground that benefits all of us so that this brand can thrive under our management. Otherwise, this will end up in a me versus you kind of thing, and… well, only one of us will walk away from it as Dynasty’s general manager. I rather not let things get messy. However, the choice is yours.
Richard Grant: …
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: …
(It seemed as if the two took his words into serious consideration–)
Richard Grant: Heh. Haha. Ahahahaha!
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Bahahaha! What on Earth did you just say?!
(Well, that was pointless.)
Richard Grant: Look at him! He thinks he can be a big man now! How pathetic! Listen boy, I don’t know who you think you are, but you sure as hell aren’t going to talk up to me or Kensingten like that.
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Exactly. I mean, do you think we’re going to be taking your words seriously? Not a chance. You aren’t going to be doing anything.
(Tyrone narrows his eyes.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Is that so?
Richard Grant: It is so. You’re a joke!
(The two continue to laugh. However, Tyrone… isn’t all that bothered. He nods, pursing his lips.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Alright. You two can continue to carry on and not take me seriously. However, in the end? I’ll be the one who gets the last laugh.
(Tyrone heads out of the office. Kensingten and Richard watch on.)
Richard Grant: What a trip. As if he can do anything to us.
(The two snicker and get back to work before Dynasty fades back to ringside.)
Stephie Love: The following match is scheduled for one fall…
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(“Dragon Fly” by Shaman’s harvest plays throughout the arena, BRAE with the big fight feel, big aura moment, will make his entrance under a spotlight, draped in the Irish flag.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM BRAY COUNTY, IRELAND…WEIGHTING IN AT 267 IBS…“THE WARRIOR KING” BRRRRRRAAAAAAAEEEEE!!!”
Stew-O: First match and you know he is looking to win, with all the talking he has done you know he wants people to remember his name when that bell rings.
Jake Mercer: Isn’t that always the goal in any debut match, you don’t want to be known as the man who talks big and can’t back it you. You want to be known as the person who talks big and acts bigger and I have a feeling that Brae is that type of guy!
(Brae genuinely hands the flag off the the referee, his music fades, and “Something Real” by Post Malone starts to play — Taylor Vanity steps out from the back, no intimidation on her face as she walks down the ramp confidently.)
Stephie Love: “AND HIS OPPONENT…FROM LAKEWOOD, CALIFORNIA…WEIGHTING IN AT 129 POUNDS…TAYLOR VANITY!”
Flannery McCoy: A lot of taunt went in between these two but she is not afraid of Brae, just look at how she stares him down. Taylor is willing walk into the lions den and come out with a minx coat.
Steve-O: …That…is a really good line, I’d have to use that sometime.
Flannery McCoy: That’s mine, get your own.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Flannery McCoy: The match is on its way and Brae is looking to pick up his first win here in EAW, he is confident but he can’t be too confident and underestimate his opponent. Taylor and Brae circling the ring, eyeing each other down! Into a lockup but it seems like Brae has the upper hand! Backing her up into the corner, using that strength to keep her back pinned to the turnbuckles. The referee starts to count…he breaks it at three! Brae is showing his strength here in the opening bell, I have to think he’s trying to get into Taylor’s head.
Jake Mercer: The match isn’t just fought in the ring, it is fought mentally as well. Try to make Taylor doubt herself, doubt if she could even do this. She has to keep focus and push that doubt away. Like look, she’s going in for another lock up SHE MOVES OUT THE WAY! Getting behind Brae, kicking him in the back of the thigh! Kicks that strong can break bones but it’s doing it’s job of immobilizing Brae. She bounces off the ropes, QUICKLY ducking the punch thrown, and…CATCHING HIM WITH A CALF KICK! Brae is down! Taylor is not letting Brae get to her!
Stew-O: She’s going to need a lot more of that energy and kick the attack going on the “Warrior King”, Brae is already getting up. Taylor goes over and chokes him with the middle rope! He pressed her knee on the back of her neck, trying his best to release pressure from his neck. His only saving grace was the referee counting down…Taylor let go in the last minute. Vanity wanted to make sure she gave him as much damage as she possibly could. The smart strategy there. She’s packing up, looking like she’s lining Brae up for some type of maneuver while he’s still on the ropes! She RUNS forward—
Jake Mercer: BRAE CATCHING HER JUST ON TIME WITH A CLOTHESLINE, TAYLOR FLIPPING IN THE AIR AND CRASHING TO THE MAT! That lariat nearly took her head off, Brae looks fuming. I guess he didn’t like the level of disrespect that got from Taylor, looking to return the favor now that he is in control. Lifting Taylor up and KNOCKING her back down with the forearm strike! An impact like that can leave someone blind. But at this moment, I don’t think Brae cares about what kind of condition Taylor lives in. Picking her back up, using the ropes to Irish whip her to the other side…bouncing off and CAUGHT BY BRAE!
Flannery McCoy: Spinning her around and— SLAMMING HER BACK ON HIS KNEE! Taylor folded back like a piece of paper! Don’t show the replay, I don’t think anyone wants to see that again.
Jake Mercer: You thought wrong, let’s take a look again at that nasty impact- OH MY! People pay hundreds for a chiropractor, Taylor just got it for free. Good for her!
Steve-O: Quite the opposite, look at Brae proud of what he did, looking up at the replay showing and laughing. This is a man who seems to love to inflict pain and he has no second thoughts about his opponent well well-being.
Jake Mercer: What is this? Baseball? They knew what they were getting into when they signed right next to that “x”. Taylor just needs to shape up and shake it off.
Flannery McCoy: It looks like Brae is going to make sure she doesn’t shake it off, he is looking for the end of this match. He gets into the corner and bangs his chest, staring down Taylor who is slowly trying to stand up…Brae is looking for the “MORRIGAN” BROUGE KICK! WAIT A MINUTE— TAYLOR CATCHING BRAE WITH A SUPERKICK! BRAE IS DOWN, TAYLOR ON ONE KNEE! She is starting to feel herself, standing up and looking at a dazed Brae. Getting in the corner, screaming for him to get up. You can see the fire in her eyes she wants the win badly! It looks like she’s tired of waiting, marching over to lift him up! She quickly bounces off the rope— “HANGLINE” A HUGE LARIET TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! SHE QUICKLY GETS HIM ON THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEGS!
ONE!
TWO!!
Jake Mercer: BRAE GETS THE SHOULDER UP, THE SHOULDER SHOOTS UP! Taylor looks shocked but she needs to stay focused, she could be a couple of big moves away from picking up a victory here. Here we go, Taylor taking Brae’s arm and dragging him closer to the ropes. She begins the ascent, could be looking for the “Snapshot” Reverse Spiral Tap! If she hits this, it could be game over for The Warrior King. She stands up AND…
Flannery McCoy: NO, BRAE HITS TAYLOR IN THE BACK, HE’S TAKING HER OFF THE TOP IN THE CRUCIFIX POSITION— TAYLOR SLIPS OUT, BRAE TURNS AROUND INTO A KICK TO THE GUT! TAYLOR RUNS TO THE ROPES—
Steve-O: CAUGHT WITH A BROGUE KICK OUT OF NOWHERE! “MORRIGAN” OUT OF NOWHERE! BRAE PINS HER, HOOKING BOTH LEGS!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER “THE WARRIOR KING”…BRRRRRRRAAAAAAAEEEEEE!
Jake Mercer: What a statement made by Brae tonight, the aggression, the physicality, he has all the makings of a big threat here in Dynasty!
Flannery McCoy: I agree but you got to give credit to Taylor, she showed heart and came close to winning this match a couple of times. Even after some moves that would permanently damage other competitors.
Steve-O: Congratulations to Brae, if this debut is what we can expect from this competitor — then I can’t wait to see it.
(Brae’s hand was raised, with a big grin on his face still mouthing off at the camera and the crowd. Taylor was off to the side, holding his jaw after a devastating Brouge Kick. The scene fades to black.)
(A commercial plays for Mortal Kombat 1, with Milli Banks and Jake Smith starring as Tayna and Johnny Cage respectively.)
(The camera would fade back into the backstage area, and into a seperate office where Tyrone Montgomery is seen. Given the confrontation between himself, Kensingten and Richard, going to a different part of the arena was the right call. It’s a small office, but comfortable enough. He seems to have a clearer mind as he is focused on his work. He was looking over some things, chalking stuff and setting it to the side while also organizing his papers together in neat order and quick succession. Eventually, he would end up hearing a knock on the door. He looks up from his work upon hearing the knock.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Come on in!
(Suddenly, the door would then swing open, and one of the upcoming New Breed Elitists on the Dynasty roster would walk through the door and into the office. This being the man who calls himself ‘Eternity;’ NOVA. He would close the door behind him, and then would walk over to the desk.)
NOVA: I need to take care of some business and make my personal statements known around here, and I think going directly to the boss and general manager of the brand that I am delighted to be taking part of in the first place would be the best option possible. So, if you wouldn’t mind, can I take a seat and we can talk some business?
Tyrone Montgomery: Go right ahead!
(NOVA would then pull the chair back, and would take a seat in it, he pulls it back up to the desk, before looking directly into the eyes of Tyrone.)
Tyrone Montgomery: So, what is it that you needed to talk about?
NOVA: Well, it is quite simple actually, Tyrone. In recent weeks, months, since the very beginning of the season really, it feels as if I have gotten off on the wrong foot, and that is something that I haven’t really enjoyed much. I haven’t really been given that one golden opportunity that could further my career into the future and get my feet wet for the first time within this company, and I am looking to find exactly that. Because I have been a consistent appearance on this brand since the beginning of this season, competing just about week to week, and I know that I have had my downs, but I have also had some very impressive ups throughout my career here in Elite Answers Wrestling. And now more than ever before, I am looking to capitalize off of it.
Tyrone Montgomery: I definitely do see where you are coming from, NOVA. And I am intrigued with what you are bringing up actually, and it leaves the question; is there anything in specific that you are looking for besides unnamed opportunities?
NOVA: Well that’s why I came to you, I think you know what you could do.
(Tyrone smiles and leans further, listening very closely to what NOVA had to offer. NOVA keeps the more stoned and serious facial expression, clearly focused on what he is saying.)
NOVA: I want to take the next step into my career here in EAW. I think that’s quite simple to understand. I haven’t had the chance to really sink my teeth into an opportunity yet, and I say no more to that. becauseI know how talented I am, how talented I can be had I been given the opportunities that I so truly desire, and if you can be the man who gives me exactly that, then that is something that I would forever appreciate you for. I have been consistently great here on Dynasty, and now–
???: NAH NAH!
(NOVA would suddenly be cut off. He would get up from his chair as the door would swing open once more, showing Cody Maverick walk right into the office as confidently as can be. Tyrone would get up to his feet as well, as Cody surveys the area, before locking eyes with NOVA.)
Cody Maverick: You see, I was overhearing the conversation between the two of you as I was on my way to Tyrone’s office as well, actually. And you know what? What we are NOT going to do is lie straight to the face of your own general manager and act like you are something great, NOVA. Because we all know damn well that it isn’t true, and that you aren’t even close to that.
(NOVA did not look happy whatsoever.)
NOVA: And who do you think you are? What are you trying to say? You clearly don’t know who I am.
Cody Maverick: And it’s clear to me that YOU don’t know who I AM. You see, I am the New Breed Elitist that has actually been collecting consistent wins and having consistently great performances, all the while you continue to collect dust at the bottom of the card. I am the guy that people pay attention to whenever they tune into Dynasty and they see some of the newest crops of Elitists here in EAW and on this very brand. Not you, ME. and if you don’t believe me, I can most definitely show you that it is more certainly the case.
Tyrone Montgomery: Uh, guys-
NOVA: There is something that I don’t think you realise, and that is exactly who you are talking to. You see, the thing is, I’m not going to allow for anyone to cut in the line anymore. I’m not going to allow for an unoriginal Elitist like you to think that he can just cut in front of me and take another opportunity that I have been longing for for so long. It’s not going to happen anymore, and I am going to make sure that it doesn’[t happen. If that is something that you don’t like to hear, then I’m sure we can settle this like men, unless you are too much of a pussy to do so.
Cody Maverick: Oh trust me, you don’t need to say that twice. I hear you loud and clear, and if you want to settle it like men, then we are going to do exactly that, and we are going to settle it like men. Let’s just hope that you can actually handle the beating that I am going to give you.
(Things were turning heated, and Tryone Montgomery did not know what to do. NOVA would slightly push Cody Maverick backwards. Both men looked like they were going to tear each other’s heads off, until Tyrone would suddenly throw him in between the two, backing the both of them off of each other.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Enough! Both of you, stop.
(NOVA quickly backs off, calming right back down.)
NOVA: Just know, if I need to get past you in order to be able to prove a point, then that is exactly what I am going to end up doing, and there is nothing that you can do about that.
(NOVA says this, as he would then walk away, and he leaves the office. Tyrone turns towards Cody, as Cody would give the stare right back at him, and smirks.)
Cody Maverick: I’m just going to make myself loud and clear right now, Tyrone. You should consider my words, and look at the work I have been doing in order to be able to back them all up. You have a megastar on your hands; don’t let that go to waste.
(Cpdy says this, as he would then leave the office shortly after. Tryone Montgomery is once more left all to himself, as he would let out a major sigh of relief, looking on thoughtfully as the camera would then fade down to the ringside area.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen… The following Tag Team Match is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
(As Stephie Love finishes the announcement, someone comes out of the entrance way with a microphone in their hand.)
Miss Demi Knorr: Ladies and Gentlemen, my name… is Miss Demi Knorr! And it is my duty, and pleasure to introduce to you… From Montréal, Québec, Canada. Weighing in at 210 pounds… RYAN… JOSEEEEEEEEEPH WILSOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!
( ‘My Way’ by Limp Bizkit plays over the sound system of the arena and the fans are cheering as the former New Breed Champion, Showdown General Manager and former member of Dominion makes his way to the ring moving past his promotional director, giving her a thankful nod before giving his full focus to the ring however not before giving a few high fives to some fans along the way.)
Flannery McCoy: Tonight we see Ryan Wilson team up with the EAW Interwire Champion, Jay Jerry Johnson, to face off against two very formidable opponents in Theron Nikolas and Ms. Extreme. Though, with what’s been going on between Ryan and Xander, one has to think that Ryan Wilson may not be as focused as he would like to be.
Jake Mercer: Who’s fault is that? This is EAW! If you can’t focus on your weekly matches while also dealing with personal issues with whatever elitist has an issue with you; you’re just not cut out for the business. We will see tonight however if Ryan has what it takes to really be “Dynasty’s Workhorse”.
(Ryan Wilson goes up the steel steps while going inside the ring as his theme song is quickly replaced with ‘Time To Make History’ by Shoji Meguro as some of the fans start to cheer loudly while others stay booing as Jay Jerry Johnson is seen walking down to the ring with the EAW Interwire Championship around his waist as he quickly makes his way into the ring.)
Stephie Live: Introducing his opponent… From Bridgeport, Connecticut… Weighing in at 206 pounds… He is “THE ARTIST”… THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION, JAYYYYYYYY JERRYYYYYY JOHNSOOOOOOOON!!!
Stew-O: What a partner Ryan Wilson got himself in the EAW Interwire Champion himself, Jay Jerry Johnson! Though, Jay has his own match against Theron Nikolas that he has to get ready physically and mentally at House of Glass and while we may see a preview of what that’s going to be like; rest assured both these elitists will not show all their cards in order to get an advantage come Japan.
Flannery McCoy: If anything, I believe this showcase between these two teams will build up some tension between Jay and Theron as they try to gain the win here tonight and secure some momentum for themselves before House of Glass, because sometimes all you need is a little bit of momentum to secure the win in a match of this caliber.
(As Jay Jerry Johnson makes his way inside his theme song is quickly replaced by “Prey” by Parkway Drive as the fans erupt in cheers as Theron Nikolas makes his way to the ring before stopping in front of it.)
Stephie Love: Introducing their opponent, first… From Edmonton, Alberta, Canada… Weighing in at 224 pounds… He is “The Reaper”… THEROOOOOOOOON NIKOLAAAAAAAAAAS!!!
Flannery McCoy: After he helped Team Dynasty get the win at Territorial Invasion, he was granted a title match against Jay Jerry Johnson at House of Glass, and tonight we may get a possible preview of that in this tag team match!
Jake Mercer: If it means we don’t have to watch Ryan Wilson in action then I am all for it! Though, this should be very enticing competition between some very impressive elitists and Ryan Wilson!
(Theron Nikolas’ theme song is quickly replaced by ‘They Call Me a God’ by NEFEX as Ms. Extreme makes her way down the ramp as she stands next to Theron Nikolas)
Stephie Love: Introducing his partner… From Calabasas, California… Weighing in at 140 pounds… She is ‘The Problem Child’… MS. EXTREEEEEEEEEME!!!
Stew-O: Ms. Extreme is looking to possibly pick up some momentum here as well as she has a EAW Universal Women’s Championship match she earned after helping Team Dynasty win at Territorial Invasion and with a partner like Theron Nikolas; both these elitists are extra motivated to get the win here tonight!
Jake Mercer: That motivation should theoretically give us a “banger” of a match from both these teams so I can’t wait to just get to the action and see some REAL graps expeditiously!
(As both teams start preparing for the match with Ryan Wilson starting for his team while Theron Nikolas starts for his; ‘It Follows’ by Cane Jill starts to play as Xander Payne makes his way to the ring as Ryan Wilson looks at Xander Payne.)
Jake Mercer: Things have just gotten BETTER as Xander Payne makes his way to ringside and sits front row to watch the action! Glad we can have a GOOD Canadian at ringside for this match!
Stew-O: I don’t know if I like this one bit… This could be very bad for Ryan Wilson as Xander Payne looks to play more mind games, but for now Xander seems just to sit by and enjoy the action with us…
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Flannery McCoy: Hopefully it stays that way as tag team action is on its way as Ryan Wilson and Theron Nikolas start things up as both men grab onto each other, grappling away as both try to get the advantage on their opponents, but Ryan Wilson is able to get the advantage before Theron as he picks him up and quickly brings him down for a backbreaker! Ryan Wilson now mounting Theron Nikolas as he goes for a good ole’ fashion Ground and Pound as he unleashes a barrage of punches, but Theron is able to block one of Ryan’s strikes to quickly push him off as Theron turns him around and delivers a vicious elbow strike to Ryan as Theron picks himself back up. Quickly, Theron starts to trap Ryan’s arms as he rests Ryan’s head against his leg as he rapidly fires away repeated Elbow Strikes to Ryan Wilson’s head! Theron throws one last Elbow Strike as he kicks Ryan to the side before slowly picking him back up and dragging Ryan towards Ms. Extreme as Theron Nikolas slams Ryan into the corner turnbuckle!
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: Theron Nikolas tags in Ms. Extreme now as Theron grabs Ryan Wilson and takes him down with a Yakuza Kick right to his head, making him fall onto the mat as Ms. Extreme climbs to the top rope and hits Ryan Wilson with a Shooting Star Senton! It seems she’s not done just yet as she slowly starts to pick up Ryan Wilson, grabbing him from behind, and as she tries to go for a German Suplex… Ryan Wilson somehow lands on his own two feet, a bit groggy as Ms. Extreme quickly turns around, and goes for a Clothesline on Ryan Wilson! Ryan is able to duck underneath and hits Ms. Extreme with a Dropkick! Ryan runs towards the ropes as he exits to the outer part of the apron as he uses the ropes to hit Ms. Extreme with a Springboard Leg Drop. Ryan gets up looking at Xander Payne in the outside as he’s out here with us near ringside, before slowly looking back at Ms. Extreme getting up using the ropes to assist her, Ryan tried to grab her as she quickly throws a Elbow that knocks Ryan Wilson a few steps back as he looks at his partner Jay Jerry Johnson before going back to Ms. Extreme as both elitists start to trade blows with each other back and forth!
Stew-O: Ms. Extreme able to throw a vicious punch that knocks Ryan Wilson a bit back sending him a few steps back as he starts running towards Ms. Extreme, but she quickly hops and hits Ryan Wilson with a Frankensteiner that sends him across the ring. Ms. Extreme heads towards his direction as she tries to grab him from his leg, but Ryan kicks Ms. Extreme right in the face as he quickly sees his corner and crawls his way to Jay Jerry Johnson!
(TAG!)
Stew-O: The Interwire Champion gets tagged in as he starts running towards Ms. Extreme and takes her down with a Running Lariat! Ms. Extreme gets back up, goes for a Running Lariat of her own, but Jay Jerry Johnson ducks under it! Jay Jerry Johnson now rolling up Ms. Extreme from behind as he lets her go, quickly gets up, and hits her with a Roundhouse Kick to the head! Jay now makes his way to the outer part of the apron as he grabs onto the ropes while Ms. Extreme starts to pick herself up as Jay goes for a Springboard Knee Strike on her, but moves out of the way as she grabs him from behind! Saito Suplex from Ms. Extreme puts the Interwire Champion down and Theron Nikolas asking to be tagged in as Ms. Extreme slowly picks up Jay and tries to Irish Whip him to her corner! Jay is able to reverse the Irish Whip as Ms. Extreme is thrown into the corner!
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: Theron Nikolas tags himself in as Jay Jerry Johnson is still focused on Ms. Extreme, as he quickly grabs and picks her up as Jay hits her with a High-Angle Spinning Uranage Slam, but he’s quickly put down on the mat by Theron Nikolas as Theron hits Jay with a Missile Dropkick to the back of his head! Theron quickly locks the wrists of the prone Jay Jerry Johnson as Theron starts to drive his boot onto Jay’s face, but Jay quickly uses Theron Nikolas’ locking of the wrist to hit him with a Monkey-Flip, as Jay Jerry Johnson Kip-Ups and quickly picks up Theron as he throws him into the corner! Jay Jerry Johnson now throwing a barrage of elbows as he tries to tag in Ryan Wilson…
Jake Mercer: Theron pushes Jay Jerry Johnson off him as Theron quickly hits Jay with a running knee as he grabs Jay Jerry Johnson and hits him with a Reverse STO! He isn’t done just yet as Theron quickly transitions into a Deadlift German Suplex! What a great preview we are getting between these two before their match at House of Glass, but I don’t think it’s a good idea to show your opponent everything you’ve got before a big match like the one these two are going to have in Japan! It doesn’t seem to matter too much to Theron though as he slowly picks Jay up with his foot and puts him over his shoulder for what seems to be like he’s looking to hit Jay Jerry Johnson with Ushigoroshi… but Jay grabs onto Theron’s leg and hits him with a Dragon Screw as he slowly heads to his corner.
(TAG!)
Stew-O: Theron slowly gets back up as he’s quickly put down on the mat as Ryan Wilson was tagged in by Jay Jerry Johnson and Ryan quickly went for a Springboard Elbow Strike on Theron Nikolas! Ryan quickly now hits him while he’s downed with a Repeated Flashing Elbow Drop as Ryan Wilson is being cheered on by the fans! He’s showing them all tonight why he is “Dynasty’s Workhorse” as he slowly picks up Theron and tries to hit him with a Gutwrench Suplex, but Theron slips away and quickly throws Ryan Wilson out of the ring as Xander Payne just smirks looking down at the downed Ryan Wilson in the floor outside of the ring.
Flannery McCoy: Ryan Wilson starts to pick himself up as Theron Nikolas runs the ropes going for a dive as Ryan tries to get in the ring before Theron can take it as he’s greeted with two feet right to his face as he’s hit with a Baseball Slide! Theron now rolls out of the ring as he slowly starts to pick up Ryan slamming his head onto the apron before throwing him back inside. He rolls back in as he picks up Ryan Wilson, puts him over his shoulders, and hits him with an Ushigoroshi! Theron is now going for the cover to see if he’s damaged Ryan enough to take the win here tonight.
ONEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOO-!!!
Jake Mercer: “Dynasty’s Workhorse” as some would call him, not me personally though, has kicked out before the two count as Theron smirks a bit picking himself back up looking at the downed Ryan Wilson. He slowly picks him up and puts him over his shoulders while heading closer to his corner as he extends his hand.
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: Ms. Extreme gets tagged in as Theron Nikolas quickly hits Ryan with a Double Knee Lungblower as Ms. Extreme quickly able to double team on Ryan with a devastating Dragonrana planting Ryan down on the mat!
Stew-O: These two have been working really well together, but it seems Ryan is trying to crawl to his partner to tag himself out. Ms. Extreme however doesn’t let him as she drags him back and slowly picks him up. She grabs onto Ryan Wilson and goes for “Twist of Fate”… but Ryan Wilson is able to slip away from the Spinning Neckbreaker and hits Ms. Extreme with an Uppercut Québécois that leaves her stumbling a bit as he quickly uses this for his advantage as he picks her up and hits her with “La Bombe Bleu” as the Blue Thunder Bomb connects and Ryan Wilson goes for the quick cover!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THRE-!!!
Jake Mercer: A kick out from Ms. Extreme before the three count as this match continues! Ryan Wilson picks up Ms. Extreme as he Irish Whips her into the corner.
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: Ryan quickly tags in his partner before attempting to hitting Ms. Extreme with a Helluva Kick, but she moves out of the way as she’s quickly put down by a Slingshot Spear by Jay Jerry Johnson! Jay quickly gets up as he wants to make sure this match can end sooner rather than later as he Shoulder Tackles Theron Nikolas off the ring apron and yells at Theron to stay down! As Jay Jerry Johnson turns around, he picks up the kneeling Ms. Extreme as he attempts to hit her with “Project Zeperion” as he goes for his Tiger Driver ‘98 signature move… Ms. Extreme able to slip away from Jay’s grasp as she uses the ropes to quickly rebound and hit him with “Code Red” as the Sunset Flip Bomb signature move connects!
Stew-O: We may be seeing the beginning of the end for this team and Ms. Extreme is preparing for something, but what’s this? It seems Xander Payne is arguing with Ryan Wilson from where he’s seated and the referee is looking their way asking for Xander Payne to cut it out… SOMEONE IS GETTING ON THE RING APRON YELLING TOWARDS MS. EXTREME; IT’S KASSIDY HEART AS ALL OF MS. EXTREME’S ATTENTION IS ON HER AS SHE TRIES TO STRIKE KASSIDY DOWN, BUT JAY JERRY JOHNSON QUICKLY USING THIS TO HIS ADVANTAGE AS HE GRABS MS. EXTREME FOR “LONG LIVE JAYISMS” AS THE TIGER FLOWSION; DOUBLE UNDERHOOK SITOUT SIDE POWERSLAM CONNECTS! JAY NOW GOING FOR THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: Here are your winners… “THE ARTIST”… THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION, JAYYYYYYYY JERRYYYYYY JOHNSOOOOOOOON AND RYAAAAAAAAAAAN WILSOOOOOOOOON!!!
Flannery McCoy: What a great match we had here tonight, but it’s sad to see it come to an end in this fashion as Kassidy Heart interfered and costed this match to not just Ms. Extreme but Theron Nikolas as well. It seems that Jay Jerry Johnson is leaving quickly as Ryan Wilson celebrates this win with the fans as… XANDER PAYNE TRYING TO SNEAK ATTACK RYAN WILSON YET AGAIN, BUT RYAN WAS READY TONIGHT AS HE MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND STARTS THROWING PUNCHES AT XANDER AS BOTH ELITIST START TRADING BLOWS BEFORE XANDER PAYNE THROWS RYAN WILSON OUT OF THE RING!
Jake Mercer: Yeah beat that bozo down Xander! It seems that Ryan isn’t as weak as I though as he’s somehow still fighting back as both these men start to brawl with each other as each punch they throw at each other sends them closer and closer to the entrance way as Xander Payne grabs Ryan Wilson again and throws him to the back as both these men continue to brawl towards the back!
(The last shot seen is Xander Payne and Ryan Wilson brawling out of the arena towards the back as Theron Nikolas and Ms. Extreme are seen being upset at tonight’s loss as the scene fades to black.)
(A commercial plays for Wicked Games, where the Jaded Hearts are set to take on POTARA for the EAW Unified Tag Team Championships.)
(Friday Night Dynasty comes back from a brief intermission to show a shot of the backstage area of the Capital Indoor Stadium. The camera is specifically focused on one of the General Managers of Friday Night Dynasty’s office, Tyrone Montgomery, as he stands with a smile on his face. The camera is completely focused on him, as he seems to be talking to someone who is also in the room alongside him.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Yeah, I agree, it’s been an exhilarating couple of weeks. I understand what happened at Territorial Invasion left a sour taste in your mouth, and I’d be remiss not to admire the hard work that you’ve done since then to make up for it by defending your title on Dynasty. So, with all that in mind, I figured that it would only be proper to allow you to choose the stipulation for your match at House of Glass, Hans.
(The crowd roars in approval as the camera pans out to show New Breed Champion Hans Grayson as he nods his head. He adjusts the title over his shoulder as he looks over, and there’s revealed to be a massive wheel in between Hans and Tyrone. There’s a number of stipulations on there, with the majority of them being glass themed of course, as Hans looks to respond.)
Hans Grayson: Thank you, Tyrone. I’ve expressed my frustrations about what happened on multiple occasions, and I’m glad that you’re giving me a chance to prove what I already know about myself with these title defenses. I’ve had the chance to face some tough opponents on Dynasty, and I appreciate that they were willing to step up to the plate and give me a fight, but I know what I really need to set my sights on. I need to focus on House of Glass, and I need to focus on what could potentially be the biggest title defense of my reign so far.
Tyrone Montgomery: Absolutely, the talents of Drake Armstrong and Michael Machina are something to be marveled about. Them along with you are the future of the New Breed division, and I’m glad that there’s an opportunity to showcase that at the Marquee Event. But let’s not waste anymore time, Hans, the floor is yours.
(Hans smiles as he takes the edge of the wheel, spinning it as the stipulations begin to turn into a moving blur. The anticipation is high for what it’s going to be, and it’s clear that Hans is watching with great interest for what it might be. After some time, the wheel begins to slow down, as it finally lands on the stipulation of the match…)
Tyrone Montgomery: Glass Tables, Ladders, & Chairs match! What a match!
(The crowd once again cheers as Hans looks at the stipulation on the wheel with an amused expression on his face.)
Hans Grayson: Alright, if that’s what it’s going to be, I’m up for the challenge. Didn’t matter to me what it was going to end up being. Stipulation or not, I’m going to retain my New Breed Championship. I just hope they’re ready for what I have in store for them-
(A knock is heard at the door as it stops the conversation that Hans and Tyrone were having. The door slowly begins to creak as the camera pans over to Michael Machina entering the scene. He too has an amused look on his face as he just so happened to overhear the stipulation that he was going to compete in. Tyrone slowly scoots away as ⅔ths of the participants in the match find themselves meeting face-to-face.)
Michael Machina: Good thing I caught up with you while I could, Hans. I’d like to tell you thanks for the second title opportunity at House of Glass. But let’s make one thing clear, I am by no means indebted to you for anything.
(Hans mouths “I know” as Michael continues to speak.)
Michael Machina: I don’t owe you anything, and when I end up running through that coward Drake Armstrong to send a message, I’ll make sure to send you a ‘Bullet From Hell’ for your troubles as well.
(Michael smirks, but Hans on the other hand does not seem intimidated by this nor entertained.)
Hans Grayson: I think we have a misunderstanding here, because I didn’t get you another shot at the New Breed Championship because I was looking out for you, I did it for myself because I KNOW I can beat your overhyped ass without the help of Drake Armstrong. That’s why I added Drake to our match as well, to make sure that once I retain this title at House of Glass, there will be absolutely zero excuses, and you’ll know exactly who the better competitor is between the two of us.
Tyrone Montgomery: Now guys, I think this conversation is getting a little too heated. If we don’t mind calming down-
(Tyrone steps in, but Hans holds his hands out, assuring that he’s got this under control. Michael looks at the situation at hand, and nods his head.)
Michael Machina: Alright, I get it…
(Michael looks to turn around, but uses that to reel his hand back as he DECKS Hans with a fist to the face! Hans drops down to the ground, but immediately, as if he knew this was going to happen, grabs the legs of Michael and takes him down to the ground alongside him! Both of them begin to swing punches at one another, and a part of Tyrone knew to expect this.)
Tyrone Montgomery: SECURITY! SECURITY!
(Seemingly instant, security rushes in as both Michael and Hans are getting up, trading blows in a brutal brawl. Security grabs a hold of Michael and barely manages to pry him away, as Michael shouts while he’s escorted out of the room. On the opposite side, Hans is being held back from going after him as they try to calm him down. Hans is furious as he clutches his title in his hand, and it’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty from there begins to fade to commercials.)
(An advertisement plays for Sunday Night Voltage, with Minerva and Caroline main-eventing in the Iconic Cup semifinals!

(Friday Night Dynasty comes back from a brief commercial break as the camera goes over to Stephie Love, who is seen standing at the center of the ring with a smile on her face and a microphone in hand, ready to announce the next match!)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Pride and Arrogance’ by Takeru Kanazaki begins to blast through the speakers as a smug and arrogant Drake Armstrong is seen making his way out from the backstage area. The crowd is booing loudly as he spreads his arms out and allows himself to bask in the reaction. He looks determined to make a statement tonight as he then begins to make his way down the ramp and toward the ring from there.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… from Scarsdale, New York… weighing in at 260 pounds… ‘THE FUTURE’… DRAKE ARMSTRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Tupac Back’ by Meek Mill feat. Rick Ross is heard following that, as the crowd erupts into thunderous cheers for one Cy Henderson who is seen making his way out. He looks ready for a fight tonight as he smiles, hyping up the crowd in the arena here tonight before completely focusing his attention on the ring. He takes a deep breath before then beginning to make his way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent… from New York City, New York… weighing in at 240 pounds… ‘JUSTICE SEEKER’… CY HENDERSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: And here we go! Adding to the ever growing list of his biggest matches here in EAW, ‘The Future’ Drake Armstrong has the opportunity to get a massive win under his belt as across the ring from him tonight is EAW Hall of Famer Cy Henderson! The last time we saw Cy in the ring he failed to defeat Drake King at Territorial Invasion in a match for the EAW World Championship, and tonight is definitely looking to get a win under his belt as he finds himself back on the Dynasty brand. The two of them had some very strong words for one another, and it all culminates tonight in what should be a match to remember! And it seems they’re about to go for a lock up between the two of them!
Flannery McCoy: They jockey for position, and Drake immediately swings himself around and locks a wrist lock in on Cy! Cy does not keep himself in the hold very long, swinging around before turning the wrist lock around on him! Drake tries to retaliate, but Cy trips his leg and takes him down, planting himself onto a knee as he keeps a hold of the arm! Drake is in an elevated position right now, trying to get himself out, but before long he shifts his body before grabbing the head of Cy, rolling him into an Inside Cradle pin!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Jake Mercer: Cy immediately kicks out! Both of them scramble up to their feet, and as they stare down one another it looks like they’re going to reset and lock up again… BUT DRAKE CONNECTS WITH A FOREARM SHOT TO THE FACE! Cy staggers back, as Drake follows that up with a boot to the abdomen which drops him down to a kneeling position! What a cheap trick by Drake Armstrong, but what do you expect?
(Drake turns toward the hard camera and gives a devilish grin, before grabbing Cy’s head and rearing his arm back…)
Stew-O: Drake now continues to slam forearms against the face of Cy! We know he’d love to get a win against one of the greats, and has a point to prove after everything Cy had to say to him! Drake stops his assault before the referee has to intervene, as he brings Cy back up and pushes him against the ropes, grabbing him by the wrist and sending him to the opposite side of the ring… AS DRAKE TURNS AROUND AND CONNECTS WITH A HARD LARIAT TO THE FACE TO DROP CY DOWN TO THE GROUND! He’s making sure to push the former World Champion early, and give him a reason to sweat as this one continues.
Flannery McCoy: Drake mounts on top of him and begins to send repeated closed hand shots to his face! Cy tries to defend himself, but the mound of offense that Drake had already given him so far is beginning to pile up! He’s unrelenting as he continues to rain down strikes, and it’s not long before the referee is ultimately forced to intervene and split the two of them apart!
(Cy drags himself backward while Drake has to be forcibly pried off of him. He does not look happy about it at all as he argues with the referee, ultimately just shrugging him off and focusing on the main priority in this match.)
Jake Mercer: Cy has used the ropes to get himself back up while Drake approaches, but that moment of leeway is enough for Cy to catch him with a back elbow strike to the face! Drake stumbles back and you can see the unhappy look he has on his face as he continues to pressure Cy by once again approaching, BUT CY THIS TIME BRINGS HIS FOOT UP AND BOOTS HIM ACROSS THE FACE! Drake stumbles back and instead of staying in the corner, Cy shoots past him and runs to the opposite side of the ring… AS HE SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE ROPES AND DROPS DRAKE DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A STUNNER!
Stew-O: Cy pops up to his feet, crouching down and lying in wait while a bewildered Drake tries to get back up to his feet… JUST FOR CY TO LOCK IN A HALF NELSON, LIFTING HIM UP INTO THE AIR AND DROPPING HIM DOWN WITH A NECKBREAKER! CY HOOKS THE LEG AND TRIES FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT DRAKE KICKS OUT! Cy sits up and nods his head slowly, Drake grabbing the back of his as he rolls around in pain. In an instant the tide was shifted in this match, and Cy looks to keep it that way. He gets back up to his feet and looks to grab Drake by the wrist and bring him back up, but before he can do that it’s Drake that manages to clip him with his boot against his knee to force him to let go! Cy releases and that momentary reprieve is enough for Drake to roll himself away, and he is right past the apron and out of the ring! Drake circles around the ringside area, trying his best to collect himself and get back into this match… BUT WHAT HE DOESN’T SEE IS CY ROUNDING THE CORNER AND TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A CLOTHESLINE WHICH DROPS HIM TO THE MAT!
OONNEE!!
Jake Mercer: The count has begun and Cy has Drake accounted for on the outside, he’s not afraid to take this out of the ring if he has to. Cy has Drake by the head as he tries to get back up, SENDING HIM STRAIGHT INTO THE BARRICADE AS DRAKE DROPS DOWN ONTO THE FLOOR! He grabs his spine in agonizing pain right now, and Cy knows that the opportunity to take advantage of the situation is right here!
TTWWOO!!
TTHHRRRREEEE!!
Stew-O: Cy then grabs Drake once again and pulls him away from the barricade, locking in a front facelock, and oh dear… HE LIFTS DRAKE UP AND LOOKS TO DROP HIM ON THE MATTING WITH A HUGE SUPLEX- NO! Drake manages to slip out! He lands behind Cy before grabbing around his waist, PUSHING HIM FACE FIRST INTO ONE OF THE RING POSTS! Cy’s head bounces off of the steel and Drake keeps a hold of him around the waist, pulling him away as he sets him up… LIFTING HIM OVER HIS HEAD AND DROPPING HIM DOWN ONTO THE MATTING WITH A VICIOUS GERMAN SUPLEX!
FFOOUURR!!
FFIIVVEE!!
Flannery McCoy: Cy is hurt as he tries to get back up, and the last thing he wants to do is lose this match by countout. Drake is already in the ring, no consideration for his opponent, as he’s trash talking and taking the time right now to compose himself. Cy is hurt and he knows it, as he falls against the barricade and catches himself, before quickly lunging himself back into the ring…
Jake Mercer: BUT AS SOON AS HE DOES, DRAKE IS RIGHT THERE! HE GRABS HIM AND LOCKS IN THE ‘BOURGEOIS BITE’! THE ABDOMINAL STRETCH IS CINCHED IN AND DRAKE FOLLOWS THAT UP BY USING HIS FREEHAND TO TO APPLY THE ABDOMINAL CLAW AS WELL!
Stew-O: Drake has the hold locked in and Cy is screaming in pain! ‘The Future’ has a gut feeling that this is not going to be the end all be all for this matchup, but at the very least if he manages to keep this hold locked in long enough the damage will be done and he’s going to have the opportunity to take advantage of that ASAP. Cy is beginning to resist though, trying his best to fight out of it and break free, and that’s something that he’s continuing to slowly do while Drake does everything he can in order to keep him in place! What will this come down to?!
Flannery McCoy: I’ll tell you, because Cy has twisted his body and begun to connect with fists to the face of Drake Armstrong using his free arm! Drake is fighting to keep the hold locked in but Cy is beginning to turn the tables on him… BUT BEFORE HE CAN COMPLETELY BREAK FREE, DRAKE RELEASES THE ABDOMINAL CLAW AND WRAPS HIS ARM AROUND THE TOP ROPE!
(Drake stretches the body of Cy even further as the referee is quick to notice it, shouting at him to release the hold.)
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FI-
Jake Mercer: Drake finally releases the hold, using the full extent of the ropes and the referee’s five count to do as much damage to Cy as he could in that small window of time. He manages to escape, but Cy is hurt as he crawls toward the center of the ring, and immediately Drake is moving toward one of those corners. He backs himself against one of the turnbuckles, shouting at Cy to get back up to his feet, which is something that he slowly begins to do. Cy is measured up, and I have a clue what Drake has in mind…
Stew-O: ‘HALBERD FROM HELL’!
Flannery McCoy: BUT CY SEES IT COMING, HE STEPS BACK AND GRABS A HOLD OF THE LEGS AS THEY’RE COMING TOWARD HIM! Drake lands on his back, AS CY DRIVES HIS BOOT INTO THE ABDOMEN OF DRAKE! Drake is gasping for air while Cy takes a step back, falling against the ropes while Drake clutches his abdomen, trying his best to get back up. Both of them are on their feet…
Jake Mercer: AS THEY BOTH BOOT EACHOTHER IN THE ABDOMEN! They know which part of them is weakened and now their reeling, as Drake tries to shake it off and attack Cy…
Stew-O: BUT CY SCOOPS HIM UP! ‘PHANTOM DEATH’ CONNECTS! WITH THE LAST BIT OF STRENGTH THAT HE HAS HE MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH THE MICHINOKU DRIVER! CY THROWS HIMSELF OVER DRAKE FOR THE PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRR-
Flannery McCoy: BUT THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN, DRAKE KICKS OUT! Cy takes a deep breath, and although that didn’t finish the job, it’s enough to firmly be in control of this match. Drake gets himself up to a seated position, and Cy is able to get up and quickly get him back up to his feet. He grabs him by the arm and sends him toward one of the corners with an Irish whip, rushing forward… GOING FOR A RUNNING SHOULDER THRUST- BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO STOP HIM WITH HIS BOOT! Cy is stunned and Drake quickly grabs him by the head and pushes him into the corner himself, using the last bit of energy he has left in the tank to drive fists against his face!
Jake Mercer: Cy is trying his best to fend off the storm, but Drake is continuing to wail on him, transitioning to stomps that pummel him down to a seated position in the corner! He disengages and steps backward, allowing himself to take a deep breath while a disheveled Cy is trying to collect himself as he’s pressed against the bottom turnbuckle. Drake isn’t looking to give him all the time in the world though… FOLLOWING THAT UP WITH A RUNNING BOOT TO THE FACE WHICH ROCKS CY AGAIN!
Stew-O: Cy is left dazed and Drake looks like he’s not through either, grabbing him and bringing him back toward the center of the ring… LIFTING HIM UP AND SLAMMING HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A SCOOP SLAM! Drake has him down as he then turns around and looks to follow that with another move as he runs the ropes…
Flannery McCoy: JUST FOR CY TO NAIL HIM WITH A ‘CYCLONE LARIAT’!
Jake Mercer: NO! DRAKE DUCKS UNDER THE DISCUS LARIAT! Drake manages to avoid it as he runs to the opposite side of the ropes… BUT CY TURNS AROUND AND LOOKS TO MAKE UP FOR IT AS HE LIFTS DRAKE UP INTO A BACK BODY DROP-
Stew-O: BUT THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN! Drake stops himself just in the nick of time and manages to kick Cy in the face! Drake then goes around and goes under…
Flannery McCoy: ‘NATURAL TALENT’! BRIDGING HALF-NELSON HALF-CHICKENWING SUPLEX CONNECTS! DRAKE QUICKLY HOOKS THE LEG, TRYING FOR THE PIN AGAIN! WILL THIS BE THE END OF THE MATCH?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRREE-
Jake Mercer: NO! CY KICKS OUT! DRAKE IS FURIOUS!
(Drake sits up and slams his hands on the canvas repeatedly, getting frustrated with the constant persistence of the EAW Hall of Famer. He shakes his head, even though everything that he has thrown has not been enough so far, he knows that he has the absolute fullest intentions of ending this right now.)
Stew-O: Drake is getting back up to his feet, eyeing Cy who looks to be very hurt right now. He’s not rushing anything right now, making his way over as he makes sure to stomp on Cy a good couple of times in order to keep him on the mat. I don’t think he wants him to be able to get back up, preparing him for what he has in mind…
Flannery McCoy: AS HE GRABS CY’S LEG AND IS TRYING TO LOCK IN THE ‘WILL KILLER’! HE’S TRYING TO GO FOR THE SINGLE LEG BOSTON CRAB!
Jake Mercer: BUT HE’S PREVENTED FROM THAT HAPPENING! BEFORE HE CAN TURN CY OVER, CY MANAGES TO BOOT HIM AGAINST THE FACE! Drake tries to keep a hold of the leg, trying to see the move through, but before he can it’s Cy that connects with yet another boot that ultimately forces him to let go! Drake stumbles back, gritting his teeth as he approaches Cy one more time, but before he can enough time has been given for Cy to get back up, AS HE LAUNCHES FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A CLOTHESLINE WHICH DROPS HIM DOWN TO THE MAT!
Stew-O: Drake staggers up to his feet again, JUST FOR CY TO FOLLOW THAT UP AS HE LAUNCHES FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A SECOND CLOTHESLINE! Cy is hyped up right now as he sets Drake up, waiting for him to get back up to his feet so he can follow up… AS HE SPINS AROUND…
Flannery McCoy: ‘CYCLONE LARIAT’ TO DRAKE!
Jake Mercer: BUT DRAKE ONCE AGAIN SEES IT COMING AS HE BOOTS CY’S ARM! DRAKE THEN TURNS AROUND AND RUNS TO THE ROPES…
Stew-O: HE’S GOING FOR ‘HALBERD FROM HELL’!
Flannery McCoy: ‘CALAMITY’!
Jake Mercer: DRAKE REBOUNDS AND IS CAUGHT BY A VICIOUS GORE COURTESY OF CY HENDERSON WHICH COMPLETELY TAKES HIM DOWN! DRAKE IS HURT AND CY WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS THE ONE TO END THE MATCH, AS HE DRAGS DRAKE UP TO HIS FEET AND LOOKS TO SET HIM UP FOR SOMETHING HERE…
Stew-O: ‘RISING TIDE’! THE BURNING HAMMER CONNECTS COMPLETELY TAKING DRAKE DOWN TO THE GROUND! CY HOOKS THE LEG AND GOES FOR THE PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Tupac Back’ begins to blast through the speakers as Cy Henderson pulls himself off of the body of Drake Armstrong. He brings himself up to a seated position with a tired expression on his face, dragging himself slowly back up to his feet. The referee makes his way over and raises his hand in victory, allowing him the time to celebrate his victory.)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… CY HENDERSON!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: WHAT A BACK AND FORTH! Drake knew how much a match like this would mean for his resume, and facing a competitor like Cy meant that he had to lay it all on the line. But at the end of the day it was Cy who ended up getting the better of him. He hit him with not only the ‘Calamity’, but the ‘Rising Tide’ as well to take him out and secure the victory.
Jake Mercer: Okay… Ronan would beat him any day of the week though.
Stew-O: Well that remains to be seen, but it’s certain that Ronan Malosi is watching this very closely after what has happened these past couple of weeks. Nonetheless, Cy can leave with his head hung high. Congratulations on his victory!
(Cy climbs up to the top rope, raising his arms in the air as the crowd goes wild for the EAW Hall of Famer. He jumps off the top rope and looks to leave the ring…)
Flannery McCoy: OH MY GOD! FROM BEHIND! CY JUST GOT HIT WITH A LOW BLOW!
Jake Mercer: YES! YES! YES! RONAN MALOSI IS HERE!
(Cy completely collapses down to the ground, grabbing his lower region as he’s down in absolute agony right now. Ronan looks down at him with a smirk on his face, the referee quickly sliding back into the ring and trying to get him away from the scene before any more damage can be made. The last shot seen is Ronan Malosi standing over Cy Henderson as Friday Night Dynasty begins to fade to elsewhere.)

Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR… ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(‘Number One’ by Shirō Sagisu & Hazel Fernandes plays to a largely positive reaction from fans, who are firmly in Limmy’s corner ahead of the match with Tohru. Limmy poses on the ramp briefly, and marches to the ring, focused ahead of his match with Tohru, an opportunity at revenge ahead of him.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! Residing out of Golden Beach, Florida, weighing in at 227 pounds…HE IS THE CZAR…LIMMY MONAGHAN!!
Flannery McCoy: The Czar is here, and with revenge on his mind.
Jake Mercer: He wants to make Tohru pay, and there is no doubt in my mind that he is capable.
Stew-O: I’m excited for this battle between the two, because it is going to be a very big test for Prince Tohru.
(“Wano Kuni” by Kohei Tanaha blares throughout the arena to a negative reaction from fans, and Prince Tohru saunters down to the ring, being accompanied by Ricky, who is gassing Prince Tohru up along the way as they walk down to the ramp together.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent! Hailing out The Imperial House of Japan, weighing in at 231 pounds, accompanied to the ring by Ricky…HE IS THE GOLDEN EAGLE…PRINCE TOHRU!
Stew-O: Tohru, nor the rest of KAI-ZEN have endeared themselves to the roster, hence us being here right now.
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, in a short time, he’s created enemies, one of them being Limmy Monaghan.
Stew-O: That’s right, a former World Heavyweight Champion. May not be the wisest move for Tohru, who is still a fresh face here in EAW.
(Both competitors stare one another down from opposing corners as the referee signals the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Welp, the bell has rung, and we are underw-
Jake Mercer: LETS GO, LIMMY! LETS GO! 👏
Stew-O: :dahell: At least try to appear impartial.
Jake Mercer: Sorry. Let’s go Tohru too, I guess!
Stew-O: :wow: Both competitors start things off by circling one another, and a collar and elbow tie-up takes place in the center of the ring! Limmy slips behind Tohru for a rear waistlock, which immediately gets turned into a takedown! Tohru rises to a seated position, and starts to pry Limmy’s hands apart slightly, giving him opportunity to scramble back to his feet!
Flannery McCoy: Limmy stands himself up as well, and both men circle each other for a second time. Confidence has to be growing in Limmy, gaining the upper hand over Tohru early on, but let’s see if he can keep that momentum as they lock up again in the center of the ring! Limmy finds himself with the upper hand again, trapping Prince Tohru in a hammerlock, applying pressure to that arm.
Stew-O: Limmy spins Tohru around, and grounds him with a side headlock takeover! Tohru quickly counters with a headscissors, but Limmy quickly kicks out of it! Both men scramble to their feet, and Limmy rushes toward Tohru for another side headlock takeover! Again, Tohru escapes with a headscissors, but Limmy kicks out of it once more! Both competitors scramble back to their feet, and find themselves in a staredown.
Jake Mercer: Limmy has outwrestling, outclassing, and outmaneuvering since the very start!
Flannery McCoy: Both men circle each other again, and a collar and elbow takes place for a third time! Tohru gets the early advantage with a standing side headlock on Monaghan, continuing to further wrench on the hold! Limmy loosens, and manages to break the grip of Tohru with repeated forearms to the rib cage! Limmy grabs Tohru in a standing side headlock, but quickly gets bounced off the ropes!
Stew-O: Limmy rebounds back with a SHOULDER TACKLE. DROPPING PRINCE TOHRU! Limmy runs off the ropes, but Tohru rolls over to his belly, forcing Monaghan to jump over him. Tohru pops back to his feet, and LEAPFROGS over Monaghan! Tohru tries for a second leapfrog- but Limmy halts his momentum, and catches Tohru with a THUNDEROUS SLAP ACROSS THE FACE ONCE HE RETURNED TO THE GROUND!
Flannery McCoy: TOHRU IS STUNNED OFF THAT SLAP, AND LIMMY GRABS HIM BY THE BACK OF HIS HEAD, SENDING HIM UP AND OVER THE TOP ROPE! BUT UNBEKNOWNST TO LIMMY, TOHRU HAS CAUGHT HIMSELF ON THE APRON, AND WAITS FOR LIMMY TO TURN AROUND BEFORE SPRINGING OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A CLOTHESLINE! TOHRU QUICKLY CRAWLS INTO THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Jake Mercer: SHOULDER UP! Tohru looks annoyed, and pulls Limmy back to his feet for a BODY SLAM! Limmy is down, and Tohru climbs to the top turnbuckle for GOLDEN EAGLE! BUT LIMMY ROLLS OUT THE WAY OF THE SWANTON BOMB! TOHRU HAD IT SCOUTED, AND ROLLS THROUGH TO HIS FEET! BUT ONCE GETTING THERE, LIMMY CHARGES IN WITH A CLOTHESLINE!
Stew-O: Tohru scrambles back to his feet, and staggers back against the ropes! LIMMY COMES IN WITH ANOTHER CLOTHESLINE, SENDING TOHRU UP AND OVER THE TOP ROPE! Limmy is fired up, and beckons for Tohru to step back in the ring. Tohru is up to a knee, using the barricade for assistance as he tries to knock the cobwebs out of his head. Ricky can be seen giving advice, trying to get Tohru back in the game.
Flannery McCoy: Tohru tries to re-enter the ring, BUT LIMMY CATCHES HIM WITH A BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK! TOHRU ALMOST GOT KNOCKED BACK FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE, BUT RICKY STEPPED IN THE WAY, GETTING SANDWICHED BETWEEN THE BARRICADE AND TOHRU!!
Jake Mercer: You have to admire Ricky’s loyalty, sacrificing himself, and absorbing most of the impact for Tohru!
Flannery McCoy: You and Ricky are very much alike. Both dickeaters.
Jake Mercer: :wtf:
Stew-O: Tohru staggers away from Ricky, and rounds a corner- BUT LIMMY FLIES THROUGH THE MIDDLE
ROPE WITH A SUICIDE DIVE!
Flannery McCoy: Guess Ricky couldn’t save him that time!
Stew-O: Limmy rolls Tohru back inside the ring, and climbs up on the apron. BUT TOHRU EXPLODES WITH A RIGHT HAND, STUNNING LIMMY ON THE APRON! Tohru hooks Limmy up for a suplex back inside the ring- BUT LIMMY FLOATS OVER, AND GRABS TOHRU FROM BEHIND WITH A GERMAN SUPL- NO! TOHRU BLOCKS IT, HOLDING ONTO THE TOP ROPE FOR DEAR LIFE!
Flannery McCoy: OOH! BACK ELBOW FROM TOHRU STAGGERS LIMMY BACK, AND THE PRINCE SWINGS WILDLY AT MONAGHAN! BUT LIMMY DUCKS UNDERNEATH, AND PLANTS TOHRU WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX IN THE CENTER, BEAUTIFUL BRIDGE FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Stew-O: KICKOUT! Tohru slowly makes it back to his feet,, favoring the back of his neck, having gotten dumped pretty high. Limmy is there to meet him, and bounces Tohru off the ropes! LIMMY DUCKS DOWN, SIGNALING A BACK BODY DROP!
Flannery McCoy: BUT TOHRU AVOIDS IT WITH A MAT SLAM, THE BACK OF LIMMY’S HEAD HITTING THE CANVAS! Tohru pulls Limmy back to his feet, and tags him with a right hand! BUT LIMMY RETURNS FIRE WITH ONE OF HIS OWN! TOHRU! LIMMY! AND WITH TOHRU MOMENTARILY STUNNED, LIMMY SLAMS HIM FACE FIRST OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Jake Mercer: That’s right! Limmy is in control, and irish whips Tohru to the opposite corner!
Stew-O: LIMMY RUSHES IN- BUT TOHRU GETS THE BOOT UP! WITH LIMMY STUNNED, TOHRU THROWS MONAGHAN INTO THE CORNER, AND STARTS TO UNLOAD WITH RIGHT HAND PUNCHES TO THE FACE! Referee intervenes, giving Tohru til the count of five!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Flannery McCoy: LIMMY SHIFTS THE MOMENTUM, SENDING TOHRU INTO THE CORNER NOW, AND UNLOADS HIMSELF, ALTERNATING BETWEEN FOREARMS AND KNIFE EDGE CHOPS TO THE CHEST! BUT TOHRU REVERSES, SENDING LIMMY INTO THE CORNER AGAIN FOR A FLURRY OF KNIFE EDGE CHOPS TO THE CHEST!
Stew-O: AGAIN, LIMMY SENDS TOHRU BACK INTO THE CORNER, AND JUST HAMMERS HIM WITH FOREARMS, SINKING TOHRU DOWN TO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE! The referee pulls Limmy away-
Jake Mercer: For a while, it looked like Limmy’s onslaught was never ending.
Stew-O: Tohru slowly pulls himself back up in the corner, clearly a bit dazed after those repeated forearms to the face, but Limmy charges in! OOH! SIDESTEPPED! TOHRU SIDESTEPPED WHATEVER LIMMY HAD PLANNED, AND LIMMY GOES SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST!
Flannery McCoy: A lightbulb appears to go off in Tohru’s head, stepping out to the apron, and grabbing hold of Limmy’s arm while he’s still tangled between the ropes, AND SWINGS IT INTO THE RINGPOST! Limmy sits himself down in the corner, favoring his shoulder, but Tohru slides back inside the ring, beginning to stomp down on that shoulder!
Stew-O: Tohru stands Limmy up, placing him in a hammerlock, and sends him SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! Limmy goes down, favoring that shoulder as he writhes in pain. Tohru pulls Limmy back to his feet, and wrings the former World Heavyweight Champion’s arm before backing him up against the ropes, and irish whipping him off!
Flannery McCoy: LIMMY REVERSES, SENDING TOHRU TOWARD THE ROPES INSTEAD! LIMMY DUCKS DOWN FOR A BACK BODY DROP, BUT TOHRU COUNTERS WITH AN ARM DDT! COVER IS MADE BY TOHRU, HOOKING THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Stew-O: Kickout!
Jake Mercer: Tohru has found an opening, and is exploiting it, everything he has done to Limmy thus far has had a purpose behind it.
Stew-O: UH OH! LOOK AT TOHRU, GRABBING THAT INJURED ARM OF LIMMY, AND LOCKING HIM IN AN INVERTED CROSS ARMBREAKER! THATS NOT A SUBMISSION YOU’LL SEE OFTEN HERE IN ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING!
Flannery McCoy: LIMMY MAKES IT TO ALL FOURS, BUT EVENTUALLY TO BOTH FEET, PINNING TOHRU’S SHOULDERS DOWN FOR A SCHOOL BOY OF SORTS WHILE STILL LOCKED IN THE HOLD!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Flannery McCoy: TOHRU RELEASES THE HOLD, AND RUSHES BACK TO HIS FEET AS LIMMY HOLDS HIS SHOULDER! TOHRU TAGS LIMMY WITH RIGHT HAND! BUT LIMMY RESPONDS BACK WITH ONE OF HIS OWN! TOHRU! LIMMY! LIMMY! LIMMY! LIMMY BACKS TOHRU AGAINST THE ROPES WITH RIGHTS, AND IRISH WHIPS HIM!
Stew-O: COUNTER BY TOHRU, SENDING LIMMY TO THE ROPES INSTEAD! TOHRU DUCKS DOWN, PERHAPS FOR A BACK BODY DROP, BUT LIMMY GRABS HIM INTO A SMALL PACKAGE!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Stew-O: ONLY A TWO COUNT! BOTH MEN SCRAMBLE BACK TO THEIR FEET! TOHRU BLASTS LIMMY WITH REPEATED RIGHT HANDS TO THE FACE, BACKING HIM UP AGAINST THE ROPES FOR A IRISH WHIP! TOHRU LEAPS FOR A DROPKICK, BUT LIMMY HANGS ON TO THE ROPES, CAUSING TOHRU TO LAND BACK FIRST IN THE CENTER!
Flannery McCoy: Tohru sits up, BUT LIMMY POUNCES ON HIM TO DELIVER MOUNTED PUNCHES TO THE FACE! TOHRU PUSHES LIMMY OFF, AND BOTH MEN RUSH BACK TO THEIR FEET! KNIFE EDGE CHOP BY LIMMY! BUT THERES A KNIFE EDGE CHOP BY TOHRU IN RETURN! AGAIN, KNIFE EDGE CHOP BY LIMMY! BUT TOHRU RESPONDS WITH ONE OF HIS OWN!
Stew-O: OOH! THUNDEROUS KNIFE EDGE CHOP BY MONAGHAN, ECHOING THROUGHOUT THE ARENA! Tohru clutches his chest in pain, leaning back against the ropes. Limmy irish whips him off, but Tohru reverses, sending Limmy to the ropes instead! HOWEVER, MONAGHAN CATCHES TOHRU WITH A SLINGBLADE!
Jake Mercer: Limmy needs to capitalize! But it looks like he can’t, rolling over to a prone position on the canvas, showing the wear and tear he’s taken thus far! Ricky is yelling for Tohru to get up, trying to get his Prince back in the game.
Flannery McCoy: Both men slowly rise to their feet, and Limmy charges Tohru! LIMMY WITH A BIG RUNNING FOREARM! BUT TOHRU IS QUICKLY BACK TO HIS FEET, AND GETS DROPPED WITH ANOTHER RUNNING FOREARM STRIKE! LIMMY BOUNCES TOHRU OFF THE ROPES, AND TOHRU TRIES FOR A CLOTHESLINE! BUT GETS CAUGHT WITH AN ARM TRAP NECKBREAKER INSTEAD!
Stew-O: RICKY SENSES TOHRU IS IN TROUBLE, AND HOPS TO THE APRON, BUT GETS KNOCKED OFF WITH A RIGHT HAND BY LIMMY! Tohru pulls himself up in the corner, AND LIMMY CHARGES IN WITH A RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT, JACKING THE JAW OF TOHRU! LIMMY GOES TO RUN OFF OFF THE OPPOSITE CORNER!
Flannery McCoy: NO! SHOTGUN KNEE STRIKE IN THE CORNER BY TOHRU! LIMMY COLLIDES BACK FIRST WITH THE TURNBUCKLES BEFORE COLLAPSING DOWN TO THE CANVAS, SPRAWLING OUT AS TOHRU CLIMBS TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE FOR GOLDEN EAGLE-
Jake Mercer: LIMMY HAS IT SCOUTED ONCE MORE, THROWING HIS BODY ON THE TOP ROPE, CROTCHING TOHRU ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Stew-O: Tohru falls off the top turnbuckle, writhing in pain, given his groin just had a painful collision. Limmy rushes in, and pulls Tohru to his feet, attempting a Tiger Driver! BUT IKORU SOVEREIGNTY CANT CONNECT AS LIMMY STRUGGLES TO HOOK BOTH ARMS, GIVEN HIS INJURED SHOULDER!
Flannery McCoy: WITH THIS, TOHRU PERFORMS A BACK BODY DROP TO ESCAPE! BUT LIMMY LANDS ON HIS FEET, AND GOES TO RUN OFF THE ROPES, BUT TOHRU REELS HIM BACK IN BY THE BAND OF HIS TRUNKS FOR A BLUE THUNDER BOMB! BOBA BOMB PLANTS LIMMY, AND TOHRU HOLDS IT FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEE-
Stew-O: SHOULDER UP! LIMMY GETS THE SHOULDER UP! TOHRU POUNDS THE MAT IN FRUSTRATION, BUT REFOCUSES HIMSELF, REALIZING HOW CLOSE HE IS TO PUTTING THIS AWAY, AND PULLS LIMMY UP TO FINISH HIM OFF! TOHRU WANTS IMPERIAL FLOWSION! AKA EMERALD FLOWSION KAI, HOOKING HIM UP IN A SUPLEX POSITION!
Flannery McCoy: BUT LIMMY! LIMMY LAST MINUTE SHIFTS THE MOMENTUM, PLANTING TOHRU WITH AN EMERALD FLOWSION KAI OF HIS OWN! LIMMY CRAWLS TO THE CORNER, SLOWLY PULLING HIMSELF UP, AND BECKONS FOR TOHRU TO RETURN TO HIS FEET, WANTING TO LAND THAT SWINGING BACK ELBOW HE CALLS DIVINE DEPARTURE!
Jake Mercer: TOHRU SLOWLY RISES TO A KNEE, LOOKING DAZED, AND LIMMY CHARGES IN FOR THE FINISH!
Stew-O: NO! TOHRU ROLLS OUT OF THE RING TO AVOID IT! Limmy is yelling at him to get back inside, but guys, I think Prince Tohru has other plans.
Flannery McCoy: What the- are Tohru and Ricky heading to the back?
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! …TEN!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: HERES IS YOUR WINNER AS A RESULT OF COUNTOUT… LIMMY MONAGHAN!
(‘Number One’ by Shirō Sagisu & Hazel Fernandes plays to boos, not directed towards Limmy, but more towards Tohru and Ricky, who have retreated up the ramp, wanting no parts of Monaghan anymore as the match came close to ending. Limmy is visibly annoyed, not wanting to win that way over Tohru, and snatches his hand away from the referee, who tried to raise it, pacing back and forth, swearing to himself.)
Flannery McCoy: Well, Limmy won the match, but of course, not the way he wanted.
Stew-O: I’m disappointed that Tohru bailed in that manner. I mean, he could’ve got himself back into this thing, but simply decided to take the easy way out.
Jake Mercer: Well, it isn’t over, I’ll tell you that much. Not by a longshot.
(Limmy and Tohru stare down one another briefly before Tohru turns around with Ricky, heading to the back as the camera fades elsewhere.)
(The camera cuts backstage to Harper Lee and Holly Arrow, together known as POTARA in their locker room, staring at the Unified Tag Team Championships, which are hung inside of their locker. The crowd are, of course, happy to see them, and Holly looks over to the camera, motioning to Harper that the camera is in there as well. Once noticing, both women turn toward the camera, and look ready to address it.)
Harper Lee: First of all, does it even need to be said?
(Holly looks over to Harper.)
Holly Arrow: No, it doesn’t. I think everyone can tell that were not exactly the happiest right now.
Harper Lee: And why would we? What’s there to be happy about after how last week went?
Holly Arrow: I mean… were Tag Champions.
Harper Lee: For 174 days and counting, BUT! That doesn’t take away from what happened last week.
Holly Arrow: And for those who don’t tune into Voltage every week, why not remind them, Harper?
Harper Lee: Gladly. See, we were out, doing our usual, cutting our opponents down to size, that is until were interrupted by a bad Beyonce song, and out came two old hags in Jaded Hearts.
Holly Arrow: I mean, it’s bad enough that those two decide to interrupt us, the champions, but at least make said interruption… I don’t know, worthwhile.
(Harper rolls her eyes.)
Harper Lee: Tell me about it. The typical “you’re gonna regret this” speech, not like we’ve heard that a million times, and this time, it’s because Sienna can’t cope with her loss to Ms. Extreme, which was more of a skill issue than an us issue.
Holly Arrow: But it gets worse. Because later in the night, we have our Iconic Cup Tournament matches, and everyone, especially Harper knows what winning that tournament can do for your career. But what do Kassidy and Sienna do?
(Harper’s anger and annoyance grows as she says witb gritted teeth.)
Harper Lee: Of course, go out of their way to cost us BOTH our matches.
Holly Arrow: Look. I respect Kassidy, and I respect Sienna as competitors, because they’ve managed to do a lot here. In fact, take their Hall of Fame status as proof, or the fact Kassidy STILL has a Championship over her shoulder at this point in her career. Ya know, at one point, Jaded Hearts were considered one of, if not, THE greatest tag team in Elite Answers Wrestling. But the fact is: they cost us a very, very important opportunity, and as I said at the start, were not happy about it.
(Harper shakes her head while having her arms crossed.)
Harper Lee: Not at all. But if Jaded Hearts think that our actions will have consequences, then they need to take a step back, pull their heads out of you know what, and realize that’ll pale in comparison to what we have in store for them as well.
(Holly smirks.)
Holly Arrow: Harper’s right. Look, we’re POTARA, we’re the Unified Tag Team Champions, but one thing we aren’t is doormats. We aren’t going to allow Jaded Hearts to waltz in, and step right over us in their quest to become Unified Tag Team Champions, because I can agree, Harper can agree, I’m sure the rest of YOU can agree-
(The crowd erupts with cheers, firmly behind POTARA during this promo, causing Holly and Harper to take a moment to look around, acknowledging the crowd reaction they can hear even in the locker room.)
Holly Arrow: :mjgrin: As I was saying, I’m sure the rest of you can agree that we’re having one HELL of a reign right now.
Harper Lee: #POTARASweep is not just a fancy line we use to sell t-shirts, it’s what we’ve embodied since winning these titles. Every team that has stepped to us thus far has found themselves losing to us as well, whether that be DOMINION, whether that be Off-Brand Amphetamines, whether that be Queen Bees, it’s been the same story each and every time.
(Harper points to the championships hanging in their locker.)
Harper Lee: These Titles are STILL in our possession, and that doesn’t change, all because Kassidy Heart and Sienna Jade tell us to stop.
Holly Arrow: I realize that were in for a hard fought battle, possibly the hardest battle of our reign thus far, defending these titles against Jaded Hearts won’t be easy. See, neither of us are afraid when it comes to giving Kass and Sienna their credit-
Harper Lee: But at the same time, we’re also not Ronan Malosi, on our knees, being Ass Kaisers. We’re also going to give ourselves credit.
Holly Arrow: So, Sienna, Kass, if you’re watching this, which I know you are, go ahead. Go ahead, and compare our stature, along with the impact we’ve had in Elite Answers Wrestling.
Harper Lee: But let’s honest here, Holly, none of that will matter in the end, right?
Holly Arrow: Right. Because at Wicked Games, your status, your impact means nothing, but what does is being the better tag team.
Harper Lee: And call me crazy, but you’re looking at said tag team right now. POTARA has the Jaded Hearts beat. And with that being the case, Holly, what does that mean for us? Better yet, what does that mean for Jaded Hearts?
(Holly chuckles to herself.)
Holly Arrow: It means that, Wicked Games, is going to be yet another #POTARASweep, not a #JadedHeartsSweep.
(Harper makes a disgusted face.)
Harper Lee: Hey, Holly.
Holly Arrow: Yeah?
Harper Lee: Do me a favor, and never say “#JadedHeartsSweep” again.
Holly Arrow: Trust me, I won’t.
Harper Lee: Good, because you and I both know that’s just… nasty.
Holly Arrow: They can copy us all they want, but those two need to remember that nothing beats the original.
(Holly and Harper stare at the camera with intensity in their eyes, crowd cheering in the background as the camera begins to fade elsewhere, the champions having sent a strong message to their challengers ahead of Wicked Games.)
(The camera returns to the ring where Stephie Love is in the ring, ready to start the introduction for the next match.)
Stephie Love: This next contest is scheduled for… ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(“Loose Change” (instrumental version) by The Alchemist starts playing as Shinzo Sasaki enters the arena to a chorus of loud boos from the crowd. Shinzo still has his even demeanor on his face as he heads to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first and making his way to the ring. Representing KAI-ZEN! From Kobe, Japan. Weighing 220 pounds. Here is “LEADER OF THE UNDERWORLD” SHINZO SASAKI!
Stew-O: Here comes a man who is strictly business. Shinzo Sasaki is a very and I mean VERY dangerous man. We don’t know much about him and that might be the best thing for us if that’s the case. Especially with all the beatdowns that have happened at their hands.
Jake Mercer: With KAI-ZEN on the loose, we all better watch our backs. We need to protect our Kaiser! We need more security for Andre Walker. HURRY UP!
Flannery McCoy: A man who might have ties to the infamous Yakuza is someone you need to have both eyes on at all times. Since aligning himself with KAI-ZEN, you better believe that he is going to take no prisoners.
(Shinzo enters the ring and takes his corner with the look on his face never changing as his music fades off. Seconds later, “Invincible” by Pop Smoke starts to play as Chris Elite enters the arena to loud cheers from the crowd. Elite is not in a good mood as he heads right to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing his opponent! From Brooklyn, New York! Weighing 210 pounds. Here is “GAWD! GIVEN! GREATNESS! CHRIS ELITE!
Jake Mercer: Here comes the man who got the holy crap beat out of him last week by KAI-ZEN! Now he’s on his way to the ring to get his ass kicked once again. I can’t wait!
Flannery McCoy: Will you quit? Chris Elite got the hell beat out of him last week at the hands of KAI-ZEN and left him lying backstage. Tonight, Elite gets a chance at revenge against one of the KAI-ZEN members.
Stew-O: Sasaki is dangerous, but so can Chris Elite when he is pissed off. Elite is wasting little time as he heads right into the ring. Skip the formalities. Ring the bell and let them fight.
(Chris slides into the ring and tries to go right after Shinzo, but the referee keeps them separated and gets Chris into his neutral corner as his music fades off. The referee then checks both competitors before calling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Here we go! This match is underway AND ELITE DOES NOT WASTE A SECOND! DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN AND HE IS JUST THROWING FISTS TRYING TO PUNCH SASAKI IN THE FACE!
Jake Mercer: I don’t know what for! He’s just bitter that he got the crap beat out of him last week and look at Sasaki blocking those punches! He’s a very offensive and defensive competitor. A valuable asset to KAI-ZEN!
Flannery McCoy: Elite is still trying to bash Sasaki’s brains in, but the referee is telling Chris Elite to open up the fists before starting a count. As reluctant as Elite is, he does open up the fists on four. The last thing he wants to do is lose by disqualification after what happened last week.
Stew-O: But that doesn’t stop Elite from bringing Sasaki back to his feet AND JUST PUNCHES HIM WITH A STRAIGHT RIGHT HAND! THAT MIGHT HAVE DIMMED A FEW OF HIS LIGHTS RIGHT THERE!
Flannery McCoy: Sasaki dazed for a second as Elite whips him to the ropes. Sasaki comes back and Elite goes for a clothesline, BUT SASAKI GOES LOW AND COUNTERS WITH A LOW DROPKICK TO THE KNEE AND THAT SENDS ELITE FACE FIRST TO THE MAT!
Jake Mercer: Not only is Sasaki dangerous, he is very methodical in his approach to wrestling. You just saw that dropkick counter that had Elite kissing the canvas. Elite is on his knees trying to recover BUT SASAKI JUST CLOBBERS HIM IN BACK OF THE NECK WITH THAT FOREARM!
Stew-O: As fast as he had the advantage, Elite is now having to play the defensive as Sasaki brings him back up AND SNAPS HIM OVER WITH THE SUPLEX! Elite is down AND SASAKI DROPS HIS ELBOW RIGHT IN ELITE’S STERNUM!
Jake Mercer: Sasaki is trying to finish the job that KAI-ZEN started last week backstage. He is not attacking one specific body part, he is just trying to annihilate Chris Elite. Like a match I watched online seven years ago. Such a shame.
Flannery McCoy: Interesting to hear, Jake. Right now, Sasaki pulls Elite back to his feet and whips him to the ropes, BUT ELITE HOOKS HIMSELF ON THE ROPES TO PREVENT A REBOUND!
Stew-O: Sasaki comes in AND ELITE FIRES AN ELBOW INTO SASAKI’S JAW BEFORE FLIPPING BACK OVER THE ROPES TO LAND HIMSELF ON THE APRON! Sasaki tries again AND ELITE WITH A RIGHT HAND STAGGERS SASAKI BACK!
Jake Mercer: I can admit that even though I don’t care for Chris Elite, he has a very innovative offense. It just wasn’t good enough to help him keep the Gawd Contract. Such a shame.
Flannery McCoy: There is no need to keep bringing that up no matter how much you kiss Andre Walker’s ass. But right now Elite has hold of the top rope BEFORE HE SPRINGS UP AND FLIES BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK!
Stew-O: THAT TURNED SASAKI INSIDE OUT BEFORE HE GRABS THE ROPES AND ROLLS OUT OF THE RING! But Chris Elite is going to hesitate for a second as HE DIVES RIGHT THROUGH THE ROPES AND TAKES OUT SASAKI WITH A SUICIDE DIVE!
Flannery McCoy: Elite is like a house of fire right now and the crowd is loving it. Elite is out for a little revenge tonight and he plans on getting it one way or another. He grabs hold of Sasaki AND JUST WHIPS HIM RIGHT INTO THE BARRICADE!
Jake Mercer: Elite can keep it up all he wants, but what’s going to stop Shinzo from just beating the hell out of him when the opening comes up. As I said before, I don’t wanna be on KAI-ZEN’s bad side and that’s exactly where Elite is heading.
Stew-O: I don’t think that Chris Elite gives a damn. Now Elite has Sasaki on his shoulder BEFORE DROPPING SASAKI DOWN FACE FIRST ON THE BARRICADE! DID YOU SEE HIS FACE BOUNCE? THAT WAS NOT PRETTY!
Jake Mercer: It might not have been pretty, but all that’s going to accomplish is making Sasaki mad. Sasaki is still on his feet, which is a testament to how strong Shinzo is.
Flannery McCoy: But he staggers right into the waiting arms of Chris Elite who WHIPS HIM BACK FIRST INTO THE SIDE OF THE RING! That’s the hardest part of the ring and Shinzo’s back had to have taken a pounding there.
Stew-O: That might be true, but the referee is up to eight on their count and Elite heard that. He immediately grabs Sasaki and throws him into the ring before sliding into the ring himself to beat the count.
Jake Mercer: That was smart. I mean Elite about let his anger get the better of him and it about cost him the match. Yeah he beat the count, but what will stop him from doing something like this again.
Flannery McCoy: I think you just like seeing Chris Elite suffer. But right now Elite is in control as Sasaki gets back to his feet and Elite whips him into the corner. Sasaki hits the turnbuckles AND ELITE FOLLOWS UP WITH A CLOTHESLINE THAT SITS SASAKI DOWN IN THE CORNER!
Stew-O: Elite has that smirk on his face. This is going to be good. Elite backs up to get a head of steam BEFORE RUNNING FULL SPEED TOWARDS THE CORNER AND CLOBBERING SHINZO WITH “HAWK EM”!
Flannery McCoy: DOUBLE KNEES IN THE CORNER GIVE SASAKI A GLAZED LOOK IN HIS EYES! Elite pulls Sasaki out of the corner to the center of the ring and hooks the leg for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOO!
THH–
Jake Mercer: To no surprise to anybody in the arena, Sasaki kicks out at two. You have to believe that Elite knew that wasn’t going to finish the job. Either that or he had a serious lapse in judgment.
Stew-O: Elite isn’t stupid. You gotta wear out the energy of your opponent in any way possible and that’s exactly what he did right there. Regardless, Elite is still in firm control of the match as he brings Sasaki back up and whips him to the ropes. Sasaki rebounds–
Jake Mercer: AND HE DUCKS THE CHRIS ELITE CLOTHESLINE! Sasaki puts on the brakes and Elite turns around AND IS MET WITH A THRUST KICK RIGHT IN THE FACE! That was perfect! Elite has no hair, no Gawd Contract, and now no front teeth.
Flannery McCoy: I’m glad that you are amused by all of this, but one kick did turn the tide of the match right now as now Sasaki has control of the match. Sasaki grabs Elite to bring him back to his feet before whipping him to the corner.
Stew-O: Elite hits the turnbuckles and Sasaki has a hold of Elite by the neck AND DELIVERS A POWERFUL OVERHEAD CHOP TO CHRIS ELITE’S CHEST! GOOD GRIEF! That chop might have broken the sound barrier.
Jake Mercer: That could have made my eardrums explode or something, but it’s not surprising. I heard a rumor that before Shinzo could sign his EAW Contract that he had to register his hands as deadly weapons.
Flannery McCoy: You know that isn’t true, Jake. Leave it to you to believe rumors like that. But Sasaki positions Elite FOR ANOTHER OVERHEAD CHOP FOR GOOD MEASURE! Elite is hanging onto the ropes as Sasaki starts to back up–
Stew-O: SASAKI RUNS FULL FORCE BACK TO THE CORNER BEFORE CONNECTING WITH AN ELBOW STRIKE IN THE CORNER! Here comes Chris Elite stumbling out of the corner–
Flannery McCoy: AS SASAKI JUMPS UP AND TAKES ELITE UP AND OVER WITH THE “DEEP CUT”! BEAUTIFUL FRANKENSTEINER BY SASAKI! Elite might have been spiked on his head as Sasaki goes for the cover.
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHRRRR-
Jake Mercer: Here we go! Chris Elite kicks out at two. Flannery, even if we has like spiked on his head then it wouldn’t hurt because we all know it wouldn’t hurt him. Just like that time I watched a guy get snapped off a Winnebago in a match.
Stew-O: Jake, you really need to stop watching weird crap online. It’s warping your mind. A little creepy.
Jake Mercer: It wasn’t online. I watched that happen live. Paid $4.75 for a ticket and it was worth every penny. Especially after seeing what they did with a pitchfork.
Flannery McCoy: And with that, let’s get back to the match. During that little exchange, Sasaki was pounding bare knuckles into the side of Elite’s head. Referee started a five count and Sasaki stopped four.
Stew-O: Sasaki taking no prisoners in this match. Shinzo brings Elite back to his feet and whips him to the ropes. Elite comes back and Shinzo puts his head down AND ELITE FLIPS RIGHT OVER SHINZO AND LANDS BEHIND HIM.
Jake Mercer: Elite trying to be cute with that flip, but Shinzo is up and turns around AND HE JUST EXPERIENCED WHAT CHRIS ELITE CALLS THE “BOZO SILENCER”! THAT WAS COMPLETELY DISRESPECTFUL!
Flannery McCoy: HOLY CRAP! WHAT A SLAP FROM CHRIS ELITE AND THAT COULD HAVE MOVED HIS NOSE TO THE BACK OF HIS NECK! THAT SHOT MIGHT HAVE JUST KNOCKED SASAKI OUT!
Stew-O: Shinzo has a very dazed look in his eyes as he drops to his knees, but Elite doesn’t let him fall all the way. Elite brings Shinzo back up and locks his arms for what looks to be a backslide pin–
Flannery McCoy: It was a backslide alright, BUT IT WAS A BACKSLIDE DRIVER BY CHRIS ELITE! SASAKI WAS DROPPED ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD AND NECK! Elite doesn’t waste a second as he goes for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHRRRRREEEE—
Jake Mercer: AND SASAKI KICKS OUT AT TWO! To be honest, Ricky wouldn’t have someone like Shinzo Sasaki in KAI-ZEN if he can be beaten by a move like that from Chris Elite.
Stew-O: To be honest, this has been a competitive match up between these two men. Neither one is wanting to give an inch to the other, especially with Chris Elite wanting to get some retribution against Shinzo and KAI-ZEN.
Jake Mercer: Maybe Chris should consider giving it up because Sasaki is dangerous and it’s only a matter of time before the true viciousness comes out. But right now Elite does have the advantage in this match as he brings Sasaki back to his feet.
Flannery McCoy: Sasaki is up AND IT IS TIME FOR BOXING PRACTICE! ELITE IS USING SASAKI AS A PUNCHING BACK THROWING THOSE PUNCHES AND JABS ALL OVER THE BODY!
Stew-O: Shinzo is trying to block all the punches, but it is turning into him not blocking any of the punches and Elite is getting direct hits BEFORE FINISHING OFF WITH “SNOOZE”! WHAT AN UPPERCUT AND THAT SHOT SENDS SHINZO FALLING BACK TO THE ROPES!
Jake Mercer: Leave it Sasaki having really good ring awareness to fall towards the ropes to keep himself on his feet. He might be feeling the punches, but he is still in this match.
Flannery McCoy: Elite is heading right towards Shinzo, BUT SHINZO COMES OUT OF NOWHERE AND FIRES OFF A ROLLING ELBOW THAT CATCHES ELITE RIGHT IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! THAT CERTAINLY WOKE ELITE UP!
Stew-O: Elite staggers towards the center of the ring as Shinzo hits the ropes AND COMES BACK WITH A POWERFUL LARIAT THAT TAKES ELITE RIGHT OFF HIS FEET! Elite is down AND SASAKI COMES BACK WITH WHAT HE CALLS A SASAKISAULT!
Flannery McCoy: Standing moonsault by Sasaki finds its mark, but he is electing to not go for the cover. That is a very interesting strategy coming from a person who claims that his arms and feet are his most dangerous weapons.
Jake Mercer: Everything that KAI-ZEN does has a reason and Shinzo is a prime example of that. Give it time, Flannery and you will be able to see why he makes those weapons claims.
Stew-O: Shinzo brings Elite back to his feet and whips him to the ropes, Elite comes back AND DUCKS THE SHINZO CLOTHESLINE BEFORE HITTING THE ROPES ON THE OTHER SIDE! ELITE COMES BACK ONE MORE TIME–
Jake Mercer: AND ELITE GETS UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH THE YAKUZA KICK FROM SHINZO SASAKI! THAT CAUGHT CHRIS ELITE RIGHT IN THE FACE AND ELITE DROPS LIKE A STONE!
Flannery McCoy: Elite could be on dream street, but Shinzo doesn’t care. Shinzo brings Elite back to his feet and lifts him right in the air. Elite is in position AND SASAKI DROPS HIM RIGHT ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD WITH “ENTER THE DRAGON”!
Stew-O: THAT VERTICAL DROP BRAINBUSTER IS A VERY DANGEROUS MOVE RIGHT THERE! Elite isn’t moving as Sasaki pulls him towards the center of the ring before going for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEE!
Jake Mercer: HOW IN THE WORLD DID CHRIS ELITE KICK OUT RIGHT THERE! I am shocked that the match didn’t end right there. Most anybody else would be going ballistic, but look at Shinzo staying calm and collected.
Flannery McCoy: A lot of people thought the match was over right there, but Chris Elite has always been competitive. Time hasn’t changed that. But Shinzo has to be thinking what he has to do to finish him off.
Stew-O: Shinzo is back up to his feet and he brings Elite up as well before whipping him to the corner. Shinzo comes through with a HANDSPRING ELBOW, BUT ELITE SAW IT COMING AND CLOBBERS SHINZO WITH A DISCUS LARIAT TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!
Flannery McCoy: Shinzo stumbles out of the corner and Chris Elite gets hold of Shinzo once more AND GETS HIM IN POSITION FOR A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX!
Jake Mercer: Look at Shinzo shifting his weight and blocking the Northern Lights Suplex. He is changing momentum into his favor and Elite can’t successfully execute the suplex. Again, it’s not very surprising!
Flannery McCoy: Shinzo has been kicking and fighting out of the Northern Lights Suplex, so he lets it go AND JUST POUNDING ON SHINZO’S BACK TO STOP WHATEVER FIGHTING HE HAS BEEN DOING! SHOT AFTER SHOT TO HIS SPINE!
Stew-O: After just beating the crap out of Shinzo, Elite gets Shinzo in position AND HE TRIES FOR THE NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX ONCE AGAIN! HE REALLY WANTS TO HIT THIS COMBINATION ATTACK HE’S BEEN TRYING FOR–
Jake Mercer: BUT SHINZO BLOCKED THE NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX ONCE MORE AND THIS TIME HE TIGHTENS HIS GRIP AROUND ELITE’S NECK AND HE HAS “SPIRIT WORLD” APPLIED! “SPIRIT WORLD APPLIED BY SHINZO SASAKI! THIS MATCH IS OVER!
Flannery McCoy: HUGE STANDING GUILLOTINE CHOKE BY SHINZO SASAKI AND THEY ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING RIGHT THERE! AND NOW SASAKI IS FIRING KNEES IN HIS FACE!
Stew-O: THAT SUBMISSION IS IN DEEP AND ELITE IS TRYING TO FIGHT OUT OF IT, BUT LOOK AT THOSE KNEE STRIKES TO THE HEAD AND THE FACE STOPPING WHATEVER FIGHT CHRIS ELITE HAD! THOSE KNEES COULD BREAK HIS NOSE!
Flannery McCoy: Elite is trying to get to the ropes to break the Guillotine Choke, but those knees aren’t helping Elite’s fight at all and Elite is struggling to stay on his feet after those knees to the face!
Jake Mercer: Chris should just give it up right now because it’s only a matter of time before Shinzo chokes him out and forces him to pass out. Should just make things easier for himself
Stew-O: Elite is still fading, BUT HE IS FIGHTING TO STAY ON HIS FEET! LOOK AT SHINZO FIRE OFF SOME MORE KNEES CATCHING CHRIS ELITE IN THE FACE! SHINZO DOING WHATEVER IT TAKES TO MAKE SURE THAT CHRIS ELITE FADES AWAY–
Jake Mercer: HOLY CRAP! WHERE IN THE WORLD IS THIS COMING FROM? ELITE WAS LOOKING LIKE HE WAS ABOUT TO FADE, BUT ELITE MUSTERS UP THE STRENGTH TO FIGHT THE GUILLOTINE CHOKE AND DROPS HIM ON THE TOP ROPE! NOOOOOOO! BALDY WAS SUPPOSED TO PASS OUT! DAMN!
Flannery McCoy: OH SO HEARTBREAKING! SASAKI WAS DROPPED GUT FIRST ON THE TOP ROPE AS ELITE DOESN’T WASTE A SECOND! ELITE HAS HIS HEAD LOCKED UP AND BENDS HIS ARM BACK INTO THE HAMMERLOCK POSITION–
Stew-O: NOW ELITE DROPS HIM DOWN AND PLANTS HIM WITH “FACE VALUE”! BEAUTIFUL HAMMERLOCK DDT FROM THE TOP ROPE BY CHRIS ELITE AS SHINZO WAS SPIKED ON HIS HEAD AS ELITE GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEE!
Jake Mercer: BAHAHAHAHA! CLOSE BUT NO CIGAR, ELITE! SASAKI KICKS OUT AT TWO! THIS MATCH MUST CONTINUE!
Flannery McCoy: Who knows for how long because CHRIS ELITE IS ADJUSTING HIS BOOT! THAT COULD ONLY MEAN WE ARE ABOUT TO WITNESS ANOTHER BOX OFFICE SMASH! WAIT A SECOND! WHY NOW? LOOK WHO IS COMING DOWN THE RAMP!
Stew-O: OH MY GAWD! IT’S RICKY! RICKY IS HERE AND HE IS ON THE APRON! THAT CATCHES ELITE’S ATTENTION AND HE GOES OVER AND STARTS GETTING IN RICKY’S FACE AND THE REFEREE IS TRYING TO KEEP THESE TWO APART!
Flannery McCoy: Why am I not surprised that someone from KAI-ZEN is making their presence felt in this match? It was too good to be true. Why in the world is Ricky doing here right now?
Jake Mercer: He is doing whatever he has to do to make sure that KAI-ZEN leaves with this victory. Either way, Ricky hops off the apron and Elite is more annoyed than ever as he turns back to Shinzo–
Stew-O: AND TURNS RIGHT INTO ANOTHER THRUST KICK FROM SHINZO SASAKI! ELITE FALLS FORWARD BUT SASAKI CATCHES HIM! ELITE IS IN A HUGE MESS OF TROUBLE AS SASAKI GETS HIM INTO POSITION FOR WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE A MATCH FINISHING MOVE!
Jake Mercer: Of course it’s going to be a match ending move. Sasaki leans him back and wraps his arm around the back of Chris Elite’s neck! Sasaki is holding onto his arm AND THEN SPINS OUT–
Flannery McCoy: AND RIGHT INTO “THE POISON PILL”! SWINGING REVERSE STO INTO THAT DDT SPIKES CHRIS ELITE RIGHT ON HIS HEAD! ELITE ISN’T MOVING AS SHINZO CRAWLS INTO THE COVER! IS SHINZO GONNA STEAL IT HERE?
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Loose Change” (instrumental version) starts playing again as Shinzo slowly rolls off of Elite as the crowd starts raining down boos before Stephie Love announces the final decision of the match.)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… SHINZO SASAKI!
Stew-O: What a match! I am not exactly thrilled with the ending of the match, but regardless of what happened, I am going to have to call this win an upset.
Jake Mercer: I wouldn’t call it an upset! I told you that Shinzo is a very dangerous competitor and this proved it. Dangerous can also mean to not take your eye off of him or it will spell dire consequences.
(The referee goes to raise Shinzo’s arm in victory, but Ricky shoos them off and raises his fellow KAI-ZEN member’s arm in victory as the referee goes back to check on Chris.)
Flannery McCoy: Dire consequences indeed as there is the man that cost Chris Elite this match. It was the interference by Ricky that led to “The Poison Pill” and the eventual victory. Before all that, Elite was doing an amazing job and was so close to picking up the victory.
Jake Mercer: Yeah, but it didn’t happen. Once again, Chris Elite falls a little short of the victory.
Stew-O: You don’t have to say it like that. But regardless of what we personally think, Shinzo Sasaki did pick up a huge victory here tonight over Chris Elite and…. OH NO!
(As soon as Stew-O says that, the rest of KAI-ZEN are coming down the entrance ramp to loud boos from the crowd.)
Flannery McCoy: What in the world are they doing here? Haven’t they caused enough trouble?
Jake Mercer: Look at what we have here. Mig, Prince Tohru, and MITSU are all here and ready to join Shinzo and Ricky in celebrating Shinzo’s victory.
(The rest of KAI-ZEN slide in the ring, intimidating the referee out of the ring as they surround Chris Elite before just kicking the crap out of him.)
Stew-O: CELEBRATE MY ASS!! THEY ARE JUST HERE TO BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF CHRIS ELITE AGAIN! They already beat him in a match. Isn’t that enough.
Jake Mercer: No! It’s not enough. They want to finish the job they started last week. This time, they wanna make sure that Elite doesn’t come back to fight again.
Flannery McCoy: That will do it alright. A four on one assault against Chris Elite, who really can’t defend himself. What kind of crap is that? Shoul–
(Before Flannery could finish her sentence the crowd stops cheering wildly as Joso comes out and runs right down the ramp before sliding into the ring.)
Stew-O: HERE COMES SOME HELP AS JOSO IS HERE AND HE GOES RIGHT INTO THE RING TO HELP FIGHT OFF KAI-ZEN!
Jake Mercer: Yeah, it’s very noble of him, but it’s still only four on two. Now Joso is getting the crap beat out of him!
(The crowd starts cheering loudly once again as Myles now comes running down the entrance ramp.)
Flannery McCoy: The odds are starting to get better as here comes Myles! Myles dives into the ring and starts getting right into this fight. But it unfortunately is still four on three.
(The crowd is still cheering as now Limmy Monaghan is running down the entrance ramp.)
Jake Mercer: OHHH YAY! HERE IS THE CZAR! LIMMY IS HERE, BUT HE’S FIGHTING AGAINST KAI-ZEN! I’M NOT SURE WHAT TO THINK!
Stew-O: Well, I am glad that Limmy Monaghan came out here to make this a fair four on four brawl AND LOOK AT THE FISTS FLY BETWEEN THESE EIGHT COMPETITORS! LOOK AT RICKY! HE JUST SLID OUT OF THE RING AND OUT OF HARM’S WAY!
Flannery McCoy: What a chicken! He starts all this crap and he runs away at the first sign of trouble. Regardless, now that the numbers are even, Chris Elite is back in this fight and things are starting to turn away from KAI-ZEN’s favor.
Jake Mercer: How could those renegades do that to KAI-ZEN? Sorry Limmy. But they are taking advantage of KAI-ZEN! AND RICKY IS TELLING THEM TO GET OUT OF THERE
Flannery McCoy: MITSU, Mig, and Prince have all rolled out of the ring, but Sasaki is still battling it out with Chris Elite, BUT ELITE TRIES FOR THE BOX OFFICE SMASH–
Stew-O: BUT SHINZO MANAGES TO ROLL OUT OF THE RING AND AVOID THAT SUPERKICK!
(KAI-ZEN are backing up the entrance ramp as Elite, Joso, Limmy, and Myles get back to their feet to the sound of cheers from the crowd.)
Flannery McCoy: That was some interesting development right there. It looks like we have a group of competitors who are sick and tired of the repeated attacks that KAI-ZEN have been doing over the last few weeks.
Stew-O: For what I believe is for the first time since forming, KAI-ZEN are retreating from a fight that they started. Shinzo Sasaki might have won this battle and we congratulate him, but this is just the beginning of the war between these eight competitors. This is gonna be great!
(The final shot shows Joso, Myles, Limmy, and Chris Elite standing tall in the ring looking at KAI-ZEN’s retreating figures before cutting to KAI-ZEN, who are extremely angry and glaring down towards the entrance ramp as the camera cuts elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for Bing AI Image Creator featuring an image of Andre Walker and Ronan Malosi hugging one another on a plane.)
(Friday Night Dynasty returns to a panaround of the Capital Indoor Stadium as the crowd is bustling in anticipation for what is next on what has already been a jam packed show. To the anticipation of many, the sounds of ‘Leaving Caladan’ by Hans Zimmer are heard blasting through the speakers. The crowd roars into thunderous cheers as the camera from there begins to go over to the stage as none other than Andre Walker is seen making his way out. He is accompanied by Albert Hitchman who follows behind him with a smug expression on his face, as the two of them stand by one another, Andre raises his hand into the air, with a large display of pyro being seen shooting out behind him. From there, they then begin to make their way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… ‘THE KAISER’… ANDRE WALKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: After weeks away-
Jake Mercer: AFTER WEEKS AWAY, OUR KAISER HAS FINALLY ARRIVED BACK HOME! RAISE YOUR ONE’S AND ACKNOWLEDGE HIM STEW!
Stew-O: :francis: Well he is back, and we know what’s on his mind. The last time we saw him was against Joso at Territorial Invasion, with the match obviously ending with Jake Smith making his return and going after Andre. Jake has called out Andre for weeks now leading to this point, where he is finally here, and it’s clear he’s not in any rush to get down to business. In fact, I don’t think he even cares about Jake.
Flannery McCoy: He is the one that took him out of action, and I think that he feels that he can do the same thing again. We know Jake is in the building, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came out tonight and finally got his chance to meet Andre face-to-face. But that remains to be seen because right now, it seems ‘The Kaiser’ has something in mind.)
(Entering into the ring, Albert quickly scurries around the ringside area before heading in himself and handing Andre a microphone. ‘Leaving Caladan’ from there begins to come to a close as Andre looks up at the hard camera and after a moment, begins to speak.)
Andre Walker: Here’s the thing I want everyone to understand. I operate on my own time. I was never going to walk to this ring and immediately address someone like Jake Smith, and to even think I would do something like that is absurd. While Jake’s actions at Territorial Invasion obviously have consequences, the need to carry that out isn’t something I find at all pressing. There’s always a thought that someone like Jake would come back, guns blazing, looking to extract his version of revenge, and kudos to him for actually growing a pair for once and doing something worth talking about. The thing is though, what he did might be a big deal for him… but it just wasn’t for me.
(The audience doesn’t care for the arrogance that is dripping from Andre’s voice at the moment. He’s basically undermining Jake’s actions at Territorial Invasion, and that clearly isn’t going over well.)
Andre Walker: I had Joso beat. There was never a question about who the better man was at Territorial Invasion. It was not and never will be Joso, and that’s just the reality of things. Joso is not on my level. Joso deserved to be knocked down a peg or two. Joso deserved to be down, out, and forced to stare up at the lights. Jake made sure that didn’t happen which honestly is going to end up hurting him a lot more than it did me. I don’t need to prove myself against anyone, least of all Joso, but he had a receipt coming his way and thanks to Jake, he still does. I don’t leave my business unfinished, and now Jake is going to find that out the hard way. The most frustrating thing about this situation is that it was never personal for me. I never truly had a problem with Jake Smith until he made himself a problem. In the grand scheme of things, who is Jake Smith compared to Andre Walker? Truly. That’s a legitimate question and one I’ve actually asked myself a time or two over these last couple of weeks. Jake Smith had arguably one of the worst Answer World Championship reigns of all time. He lost said belt to a man who can’t even stand at the top of his own brand because he’s overshadowed by a ragtag group of enhancement talents that I could easily beat in a four-on-one handicap match. He just doesn’t have what it takes to be a top draw and main eventer.
(Unable to help himself, Andre smirks.)
Andre Walker: And now he wants to come after me.
Albert Hitchman: (off-mic) Such a shame.
Andre Walker: It is a shame because Jake Smith’s only role in this entire thing was to serve as a means to an end so I could get what I wanted from Chris Elite. I can’t wrap my head around why someone as insignificant as Jake Smith wants to hold a grudge against someone who now has more power in his pinky finger than anyone else on this roster. Why anyone would want to place themselves in my line of fire is truly, truly stupid. What Jake did at Territorial Invasion was stupid, but not the end of the world for me, hence me biding my time and coming out here when I wanted. There was never a rush for me to get back to Dynasty and go after Jake. Jake Smith is not that big of a deal. Jake Smith is not that important. Jake Smith is nothing more than a pesky fly buzzing around an elephant that can be swatted away at any time. Revenge is a dish best served cold, on my time, and not before. I have listened to everything Jake’s had to say about me and honestly, I find it kind of funny. Dude is a piece of work, I’ll give him that. Jake Smith might be the biggest, most delusional piece of shit currently in this company and Drake King exists. That’s pathetic, really, and so is this grudge Jake is now holding. I get that everyone wants to leech off me to make themselves relevant, but come on now. Jake Smith getting the better of Andre Walker?
Andre Walker: Make it make sense.
Andre Walker: Clearly Jake hasn’t learned the lesson I tried to teach him the first time around. After all, I didn’t go looking for Jake. Jake decided he was going to make my business with Chris Elite his because he needed a way to stay relevant after being the biggest bust of a world champion in recent memory, and because he was so stupid to do that, I used him to gain a little leverage and get what I wanted from Chris Elite. Never thought Chris would be such a bleeding heart, considering Jake’s own girlfriend didn’t give a damn that he was brutalized by my hands, but hey. That’s not MY business. Regardless, I took advantage of the situation and as far as I’m concerned, what happened to Jake is his own fault.
Andre Walker: Maybe next time, he won’t step directly into the fire.
Andre Walker: I stand by the fact I never personally had a problem with Jake. Hell, it was never personal with Chris Elite. I simply made a business inquiry about something he had that I wanted and the situation got blown entirely out of proportion. In the end, it didn’t matter anyway because look who ended up with the Gawd Contract? Who had to watch their ‘friend’ lay helpless in a hospital bed while I have the ability to single-handedly shake this entire company up and there’s no one with the ability to stop me. I can tell you right now that Jake certainly isn’t the one. He may want to pretend he’s a changed man and that he’s seen the error of his ways. He may want to believe he’s reformed himself and is no longer the asshole he was during the latter part of his Answers World Championship reign, but really, what’s different? Jake is still a stubborn prick who’s going to learn the lesson I already tried to teach him one way or another.
Albert Hitchman: (off-mic) You’re going to shove it down his throat.
Andre Walker: :whoa: Pause.
(Before Andre can continue, ‘Stop Breathing’ by Playboy Carti is heard blasting through the speakers. It isn’t long before Jake Smith is seen immediately making his way out, not wasting time with theatrics like he usually does, instead making a beeline down the ramp and to the ring with a microphone in hand, presumably having heard enough.)
Stew-O: Jake is here! And he does not seem happy at all. All of this just for Andre to say that he doesn’t care about him and that he’s going to dispose of him? It’s clear that he has something to say about that.
Jake Mercer: Well he should shut up and know his role! He got into Andre’s business in the first place and now he’s paid the price and all of a sudden he has a problem with it? Get out of here Jake! You suck!
(Jake jumps up onto the apron and enters into the ring, and for the first time the two of them finally meet face-to-face. ‘Stop Breathing’ begins to come to na close as Jake brings his microphone up to his mouth and begins to speak.)
Jake Smith: It’s funny how the one thing both of you keep saying to me is that all of this is somehow my fault. How? All I did was stick up for a friend when you and Ronan tried to use the numbers game against Chris Elite. Instead of just being a man and straight up going after the dude, you had to make sure that Chris always found his back against the wall and I was never going to let that slide. Chris and I have had our ups and downs, that’s not a secret, but at the end of the day, he’s someone I would go to war with against anybody. Chris Elite has had my back on more than one occasion, and yeah, you can even split hairs and say he’s the entire reason I even became the Answers World Champion. If not for the Gawd Contract, that you just had to get your greedy hands on, I never would have found myself in the Cash in the Vault ladder match. I wouldn’t have won it and had the opportunity to cash in on Impact last season and win my first world championship. Chris didn’t have to do that for me, but he did, and he has my respect. I have his back and I did what I felt was right at the time.
Andre Walker: :cmon:
Jake Smith: Believe it or not, the world does not revolve around you, whether you have a Gawd Contract or not. If that was something I was afraid of, I certainly wouldn’t have come back the way I did. I wouldn’t have targeted you out of fear that you could do something else to hinder my career. I wouldn’t have called you out for the past two weeks, looking for a fight, and then put you on blast for being a coward. Do you know what I think, Andre? I think you’re the one who’s afraid to bite off more than he can chew, hence you needing the insurance policy so bad. If you were every bit the megastar you think you are, then you wouldn’t need something like a Gawd Contract to fall back on when things started to go awry for you. I think you are now coming to realize that when you were gone, EAW was just fine. Dynasty didn’t suffer in your absence and this company had new faces rise to the top. EAW doesn’t need Andre Walker in order to bring in the fans and make them care about the product. In fact, the EAW Universe was much happier when you were gone. I know you sat at home, licking your wounds, and wondering where it all went wrong for you, but no one is invincible, Andre, not even you. You fucked up when you put your hands on me, because I’m not going to let what happened between us go. I’m not a bitch, nor am I someone who is going to back down. I’m back, well before you thought I would be, and I’m a better version of myself. One way or another, I will prove that against you, just like Chris is currently proving he’s gunna be just fine without that contract.
(Jake stares right into Andre’s intense, dark eyes. It’s a much different look than one Myles would give Andre, that’s for sure. No lust here, just pure hate.)
Jake Smith: But you? I think you’re running scared and feeling a bit vulnerable. You have seen how EAW continued to thrive without your presence and more than that, you’ve had to see other Elitists rise to the top through their own hard work, consistency, and dedication. You wanting that contract so badly just tells me that you’re a desperate man, and you need a life raft to hold on too. You’re drowning in a sea of your own misery, and you know what the best part of all this is?
Andre Walker: What?
Jake Smith: That piece of paper isn’t going to protect you from getting your ass kicked by Jake Smith!
(Andre drops his microphone and squares up, reading to fight. The Kaiser clenches his fists at his sides and cracks his neck. Jake, who is smiling arrogantly, steps right up. This is what he’s been waiting for. This is what he’s been asking for. Jake wants nothing more than to beat Andre’s ass and now he’s getting the chance.)
Albert Hitchman: Now hold on.
(Immediately, the crowd unloads on Hitch, who had picked up Andre’s discarded microphone. The businessman very casually steps between Jake and Andre, forcing them both to take a few steps back, and he has a large smile on his face.)
Albert Hitchman: If a match featuring Jake Smith and Andre Walker is to happen, it certainly won’t happen on some random episode of Dynasty. It definitely won’t be tonight, buuut House of Glass is coming up. What if the two of you faced one another at that event in a Glass Weapons Match??
(Andre looks at Hitch, who gives him a nod. He seems confident that the best place for his client to face Jake is at House of Glass. Andre thinks for a moment and then he nods.)
Andre Walker: (off-mic) I’m in.
(There is no hesitation on Jake’s part.)
Jake Smith: I’ll see you at House of Glass, motherfucker.
(Jake drops his own microphone as his theme music starts to blast across the PA system. At last, he got what he wanted. He got his match against Andre Walker and there’s no going back now. Jake narrows his eyes at Andre, whose face is void of any emotion. The fans in the arena are on their feet. This clash of former world champions at House of Glass is sure to be one for the ages and they can’t wait for it.)
(As Jake stays in the ring for his match, Dynasty fades into a commercial break.)
(A commercial is shown for this week’s episode of Sunday Night Voltage, being headlined by a Iconic Cup Semi Finals match between Caroline and Minerva.)
(Cutting back to the ring for the main event, Jake Smith is by his corner.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Stephie Love: AND IT IS YOUR MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING! Introducing first, already in the ring! From Atherton, California, weighing in at 210 pounds, he is “The Real”, JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE SMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITH!
(‘Stop Breathing’ fades out as ‘Clash of Gods’ by Norihito Sumitomo plays next. Bronson Daniels comes out to a huge reaction. The EAW World Heavyweight Champion looks over to his former tag partner, who acknowledges him with a ready nod. Bronson smirks. However, it goes away, remembering the antics of Ronan and SOSA’s attack on him. He makes his way to the ring.)
Stephie Love: His partner! Residing in Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 190 pounds, he is the EAW World Heavyweight Champion, BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELS!!
Stew-O: The 420’s are back! Even if it’s for one night, Bronson and Jake will be teaming to take on two men who have become involved with Andre Walker one way or another!
Jake Mercer: If Gawd is merciful, he’d let Andre come to put these two in their place. 🙏
Flannery McCoy: Or maybe they can defy whatever odds there are in this match for them. Either way, this match is going to be a fight in more ways than one.
(The two link up in the ring as Bronson’s theme fades, paving way for ‘Faneto’ by Chief Keef to blast through the speakers. SOSA Henderson steps out, confident as can be, rocking his signature jacket and bling.)
Stephie Love: Introducing their opponents! First, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 191 pounds, he is ‘BULLETPROOF’ SOOOOOOOOOOOSAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HEEEEEEEENDERSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!
(SOSA stands by the ramp and poses before ‘Mo Money’ by Ben McLusky hits. A choir of boos hit the air and Ronan Malosi steps out, putting up the ‘ones’.)
Jake Mercer: ☝️
Stephie Love: AND HIS PARTNER! From the Isle of Samoa, weighing in at 250 pounds, ROOOONAAAAAAAAN MAAAAALOOOOOSIIIIII!
Stew-O: The dedicated right-hand man of Andre Walker, Ronan alongside SOSA aim to impress. SOSA wants to garner momentum over Bronson while Ronan wants to knock Jake Smith down for the disrespect he’s shown to the Kaiser–
Jake Mercer: AND HE WILL, STEW! THESE TWO HAVE TRIED TO HUMILIATE AND EMBARRASS ANDRE, BUT THEY WILL NOT WIN! THEY WILL BE HUMBLED, AND RONAN WILL MAKE THEM SUFFER!
Flannery McCoy: Well, dramatics aside, Ronan and SOSA have a good chance of doing that, even if SOSA isn’t as dedicated to the Andre cause. He just wanted his title match, and he was afforded that. Jake and Bronson are determined in their own right though, and they seek to win ahead of House of Glass coming up in a couple of weeks!
(SOSA and Ronan get in the ring. SOSA looks to start things off, as does Jake. The referee checks over both teams before ringing the bell!)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: The bell has rung! This tag team match is officially underway! SOSA Henderson and Jake Smith start, and the fans are excited for this match-up! The two men instantly meet up with one another and lock-up! Surprisingly, Jake is a little bit more aggressive in his movement! Some of that need for revenge is carrying over, and he’s pushing SOSA back a bit!
Jake Mercer: Well, you know what they say about the temper of short people! Still, there has been a new edge to Jake ever since he came back! SOSA isn’t startled, though; he switches to a side stance and takes Jake down to the mat! Now that’s some slick grappling work there from Henderson! The future challenger for the world heavyweight championship seems to flash a look at the champion who’s on the apron watching on! He wants to send a strong message here as he quickly transitions, looking to cinch in an armbar–
Flannery McCoy: But he won’t get it as Jake locks his hands, preventing him from getting the full extension! Acute thinking there by the former Answers World Champion! Smith floats through with great haste, pressing SOSA’s shoulder down onto the mat!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE–
Stew-O: Kickout! Not too hard there! However, the crowd is liking what they are seeing by the two former world champions! Both Elitists race up, ready to lock horns yet again–
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: TAG IN BY RONAN! YESSIR! THE CAPETOWN CRIPPLER IS LOOKING TO SHOW OFF SOME REAL GRAPS!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Flannery McCoy: I don’t think the fans see it that way. :lupe: SOSA looks a bit confused himself, but sure enough, Ronan is in the ring. Jake backs off, but is clearly irritated by the antics! Ronan eases SOSA, telling him that he’s got this!
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) Don’t worry, I’ll get Jake all softened up. Wouldn’t want him to outwrestle you!
SOSA Henderson: :francis:
Stew-O: SOSA gets on the apron, albeit hesitantly, but he doesn’t let whatever annoyance he may have with the unsuspecting decision seep out. Ultimately, he wants to win, and any momentum he can garner in lieu of his championship match with Bronson Daniels, he’ll take it. Ronan is confident, or arrogant, as he paces around the ring, puffing out his chest. Jake Smith is not impressed!
Jake Mercer: Oh, who cares what he thinks?! He’ll wipe that smug look on his face once Malosi gives him the Kaiser special and mops the entire ring mat with him! You just watch! ☝️
Flannery McCoy: I guess we’ll see! Ronan approaches Jake and–
Stew-O: ARM DRAG! RONAN LOOKS SHOCKED! HE SCRAMBLES BACK UP TO HIS FEET, BUT HE GETS CAUGHT AND ROLLS THROUGH WITH ANOTHER ARM DRAG! MALOSI POPS UP, AND JAKE SMITH COMES RUNNING IN LIKE A MADMAN POSSESSED, SENDING HIM TUMBLING DOWN WITH THE SHOTGUN DROPKICK! THE FANS ARE GOING CRAZY! HE ISN’T WASTING ANY TIME WITH RONAN! MALOSI IS IN BIG TROUBLE ALREADY!
Jake Mercer: H-Hey now, Ronan just needs to gather his breath a bit! He probably didn’t warm up enough! Give the guy a break! I’m sure we have nothing to worry about–
Flannery McCoy: KNEE TO THE FACE! KNEE TO THE FACE! SLIDING SHOT NAILS RONAN AND JAKE SMITH COVERS!
Jake Mercer: WHOAWHOAWHOAWHOAWHOA!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO–
Stew-O: SHOULDER UP! Ronan looks absolutely shaken up! He quickly rushes forward towards his corner and tags in SOSA Henderson!
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: Poor Ronan! He’s in shock! At least he has an incredible partner in SOSA Henderson to help him out!
Flannery McCoy: You mean the same partner he tried to take the spotlight from just a few minutes ago?
Jake Mercer: Stop being a hater! Either way, Henderson is back in the ring! He steps in, looking straight at Jake… but then, his attention turns to Bronson! In fact, he’s pointing right at him! I think he wants to go ahead and humiliate this fraud already! Please, Jake, tag him in! Let that moron get what’s coming to him!
Flannery McCoy: The fans are buzzing with anticipation as they want to see the two square off! Jake looks around and takes notice of this! He looks back at Bronson, who nods at him and sticks his hand out! He wants in!
(TAG!)
Stew-O: AND THE ROOF OF THE CAPITOL INDOOR STADIUM MIGHT AS WELL HAVE BLOWN OFF, BECAUSE THE EAW UNIVERSE ARE GOING NUTS! BRONSON! SOSA! BOTH ARE NOW IN THE RING, READY TO SQUARE UP TO ONE ANOTHER!
Jake Mercer: OWN THAT FRAUD, SOSA! SHOW HIM WHO THE BETTER BLACK WORLD CHAMPION IS!
Flannery McCoy: :whoa: Relax!
Stew-O: Everyone is getting a taste of House of Glass already! SOSA and Bronson lock up, and the two are already trading some fast-paced holds! Bronson takes the arm and loops it through between his legs, taking SOSA down, but the former EAW World Champion shows off his own technical prowess he’s strengthened over the years by grabbing hold of Bronson’s leg! With the threat of a leg lock applied, Bronson turns onto his stomach! He hops up onto one leg and rolls forward, and that takes SOSA up and down onto his back! However, he STILL has a hold of Bronson! Bronson rolls onto his knee, getting SOSA on his knees, and he is able to rotate his leg out! He hops on Henderson’s back, legs under the arms, and takes him down with the quick-thinking pin!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE–
Jake Mercer: Ha! Kickout! SOSA races up, as does Bronson, but Henderson is a step quicker! He grabs hold of Bronson and scoops him down into the schoolboy pin! Cover!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE–
Flannery McCoy: But a quick kick out from Bronson in his own right! He sits up, but here comes SOSA with a penalty kick– NO! BRONSON FELL BACK IN TIME, SCOUTING THAT OUT! HE KIPS UP AS SOSA ADVANCES TOWARDS HIM, AND CATCHES HIM WITH A THRUST KICK TO THE GUT! THE CHAMPION HITS THE ROPES, LOOKING FOR A BULLDOG–
Stew-O: SOSA PUSHES HIM OFF! BRONSON’S SENT TOWARD THE ROPES AND COMES BACK ON THE REBOUND WHERE HE’S BEING WAITED ON! ROUNDHOUSE KICK–
Jake Mercer: SLIDES UNDERNEATH IT! THAT DAMN BRONSON, ALWAYS SLIPPERY AND AWARE OF THE SITUATION! SOSA SPINS, AND BRONSON CLOCKS HIM WITH AN ELBOW TO THE FACE! THEN ANOTHER! A SPINNING BACKFIST SEALS THE DEAL, AND HENDERSON IS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE HE’S GETTING ROCKED! BRONSON AIMS HIGH WITH A SPINNING KICK TO THE FACE–
Flannery McCoy: NO! He catches the foot! He pulls Bronson in and sends him up into the air, looking for a back suplex– BUT BRONSON LANDS ON HIS FEET! THE AGILITY OF THE CHAMPION SAVES HIM FROM POTENTIAL DISASTER, AND NOW, HE GRABS SOSA IN A WAIST LOCK! SOSA RUNS FOR THE ROPES, THOUGH! LATCHING ON TO THE TOP ROPE, BRONSON ROLLS BACK–
Stew-O: AND HE CATCHES SOSA WITH A JUMPING NECKBREAKER! WHAT AN INSANE SEQUENCE WE’VE SEEN! THE CHAMPION LOOKS TO CAPITALIZE AS HE PINS HIS FUTURE CHALLENGER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TW–
Jake Mercer: Not enough! I guess it was good on Bronson’s part to keep the ball rolling, but SOSA is a different breed! He would never let the likes of him defeat him easily!
Flannery McCoy: Well, SOSA is a high-caliber Elitist, just like Bronson! Let’s not be petty here, please! At any rate, Bronson is on the move. SOSA sits up, but he’s hit with a sharp kick to the back! WOW! That was stiff as can be! Of course, that self-trained MMA background of Bronson’s is coming into play here, and he delivers ANOTHER hard kick! SOSA winces, but he’s working his way back up to his feet! Bronson grabs his arm and Irish whips him into the corner! Bronson almost looks like he’s gliding on water with that flashy slide to the opposite side and charges in! He’s coming, BARRELING INTO SOSA WITH THAT HIGH-ANGLED SINGLE-LEG DROPKICK–
Stew-O: BUT NOBODY IS HOME! HENDERSON SPINS OUT OF THE CORNER AND OUT OF HARM’S WAY! THE CHAMPION GOES CRASHING INTO THE TURNBUCKLE BACK FIRST! A SMALL MARGIN FOR ERROR, BUT IT OCCURRED, AND NOW, SOSA IS THE ONE TRYING TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON IT! HE GRABS BRONSON AND SENDS HIM INTO THE CORNER, WHERE HE UNLEASHES A WICKED SET OF BOXING-LIKE COMBINATIONS TO HIM!
Jake Mercer: The pressure is being applied to Bronson, and expertly so! SOSA is just battering him with those laser-focused punches! That’s what he gets for being overzealous! Hey, and look at Ronan! He’s mirroring those punches, rooting SOSA on!
Flannery McCoy: Oh, boy. Well, Ronan does what Ronan can only do best.
Jake Mercer: I thought we weren’t gonna be petty here, Flannery!
Flannery McCoy: :cmon:
Stew-O: Well, what isn’t petty are those punches that landed. SOSA backs up and nails a rope-assisted enzuigiri to Bronson’s face! The champion flops down to the mat face-first! SOSA hits the ropes and bounces off from the bottom one, connecting with a two-hop LEG DROP! WOW! WHAT A MANUEVER THAT WAS! People talk about Bronson’s versatility when it comes to his high-flying, striking, and technical game, but SOSA has shown off his own capabilities in those departments tonight, just as he’s had throughout the years here in EAW!
Jake Mercer: SOSA Henderson walked so that Bronson Daniels could run! Never forget that! And right now, the originator is laying waste to the poor copycat as he steps out onto the apron and leaps back in! SLINGSHOT DOUBLE FOOT STOMP! HE ROLLS ON THROUGH AND CONNECTS WITH A MOONSAULT! BEAUTIFUL STUFF! THIS IS WHY SOSA HAS BEEN MY BOY! COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO–
Flannery McCoy: Kick out! That’s an impeccable string of offense from Henderson, but it’s not enough. Still, Bronson may be feeling the effects of it, especially with the attack from SOSA last week on Dynasty after the main event! SOSA grabs him and whips him into the corner! He runs in, hitting a knee to the gut! He looks to follow up on that – if Ronan didn’t stick his hand out! Looks like Malosi wants back in on the action!
Stew-O: SOSA looks at the hand a few good times, as if he’s debating on it…
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: Good decision! Let the right-hand man cook! He’s going to as he takes Bronson from the corner and tells SOSA to join him! Henderson grabs hold of him! They both lift the champion up and DROP HIM WITH THE DOUBLE SUPLEX! MORE CHEMISTRY THAN THE 420’S EVER HAD! RONAN FLOATS OVER INTO THE COVER AS SOSA HEADS ON OUT TO THE APRON!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO–
Flannery McCoy: Kick out from Bronson! Ronan drags him up and shoves him into the corner! Being far larger, he takes the time to barrel his shoulder straight into the midsection! Bronson winces! Ronan reels back and thrusts his shoulder into him again! He backs up, and Bronson stumbles forward… walking right into a POWERSLAM! Ronan gets up and hits the ropes! LEG DROP! Seems like Malosi is proud of his handiwork as he gives a little flex!
Jake Mercer: As he should be! Dominating the competition just like the Kaiser would! Ronan mounts Bronson and batters him with lefts and rights to the face! He could knock him out!
Stew-O: Powerful punches land, and they cease as Ronan grabs Bronson by the head and applies a grounded sleeper hold on him! The champion could be in trouble! Jake calls out for his partner to fight and tag him in! Given that Bronson has dealt with so much damage in this match and prior to it, one has to wonder how long he has before he’s at risk of getting pinned or, in this case, submitted!
Flannery McCoy: Bronson looks like he could be fading! Jake is shouting at him to stay awake! The champion’s hand goes limp– wait! He raises it before it drops! BRONSON IS FINDING HIS WILL TO FIGHT! HE GETS UP TO HIS KNEES–
Stew-O: –BUT A SHOT TO THE BACK WITH A KNEE SENDS HIM DOWN! RONAN SCOOPS HIM UP AND LEVELS HIM WITH A TWISTING SUPLEX! NOW, HE GRABS BRONSON AND APPLIES A SEATED ABDOMINAL STRETCH! RONAN IS LOOKING TO DO AS MUCH AS HE CAN TO WEAR HIM DOWN!
Jake Mercer: Smart move! Ronan knows what he is doing! Bronson has too much fighting spirit, so the more he can chip away at it, the more likely it is that he can secure a win for himself and SOSA! Look at him! What an absolute technician!
Flannery McCoy: He’s got that hold applied, not looking to let go! Bronson throws back an elbow! Another! Three elbows to the side! Ronan FINALLY relents! Bronson races up and STRIKES WITH A STEP-UP ENZUIGIRI! Ronan turns around! Bronson leaps up, looking for a poisonrana–
Stew-O: BUT AS HE FLIPS BACK, HE DOESN’T DROP RONAN! MALOSI HAS HOLD OF HIS ANKLES! BRONSON IS PANICKING! RONAN USES HIS STRENGTH TO CATAPULT HIM UP AND FORWARD– RIGHT INTO A HELLACIOUS FACEBREAKER! WOW! WHAT A FREAKISH MOVE THAT WAS! RONAN COVERS!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THR–
Jake Mercer: SHOULDER UP! A powerful move, but not enough to keep Bronson down completely! Ronan mounts him and blunders him with some punches again! He drags him up and throws him into his corner! Ronan goes charging in with a clothesline! It connects! Bronson slinks down into a seated position! Ronan has been absolutely dominant here since taking control of this match! Jake Smith can only watch on!
Flannery McCoy: Ronan puts up the ones and… oh, no! HE’S SETTING HIMSELF UP! BRONSON WEAKLY WORKS HIS WAY BACK UP TO HIS FEET, BUT HE’S IN HIS LINE OF SIGHT! RONAN RUNS IN! ‘HUNGER ON HILLSIDE’!
(…)
(…)
Stew-O: NO! OH MY GOD! BRONSON MOVED OUT OF THE WAY AT THE ABSOLUTE *LAST* SECOND, AND RONAN GOES BARRELING RIGHT INTO THE STEEL POST! HE ALMOST FALLS OUT OF THE RING ENTIRELY! I THINK PART OF HIS SHOULDER AND HIS HEAD HIT THAT! :damn: SOSA CRINGES ALONG WITH THE FANS! THAT WAS NOT GOOD!
Jake Mercer: What?! No! No, no, no, no, NO! Ugh, Bronson! That idiot no matter the odds or the pain he’s in will ALWAYS find a way to fight out of a rough situation! Damn it!
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: OH, BUT SOSA TAGS HIMSELF IN! THE REFEREE ACKNOWLEDGES IT! HENDERSON IS LOOKING TO KEEP THE PRESSURE UP AGAINST BRONSON, NOT GIVING HIM ANY BREATHING ROOM TO ESCAPE! LARIAT–
Stew-O: BRONSON GRABS THE ARM! HE TURNS SOSA AROUND INTO THE RIPCORD – AND CONNECTS WITH A DESPERATE JUMPING KNEE TO THE FACE! BRONSON GOES STUMBLING INTO THE ROPES, AS DOES SOSA, WHO USES THE MOMENTUM TO STRIKE WITH A ROUDNHOUSE–
Jake Mercer: BUT THAT’S NOT HAPPENING! SUPERKICK TO THE FACE! SOSA DAMN NEAR DROPS TO THE MAT! BRONSON IS TRYING TO RECOVER AGAINST THE ROPES!
Flannery McCoy: SOSA IS ON SHAKY GROUND, BUT HE’S RELENTLESS! HE GRABS BRONSON AND HOISTS HIM UP INTO THE AIR… TWISTING STUNNER BY THE CHAMPION! MY GOD, WHERE IS BRONSON FINDING THE ABILITY TO DO ALL OF THIS?!! SOSA DROPS TO ONE KNEE, ABSOLUTELY ROCKED BY THE COUNTERS BRONSON HAS BEEN ABLE TO DISH OUT THUS FAR! HE’S SEEING STARS!
Stew-O: AND BRONSON SEES JAKE’S HAND! THE CHAMPION FORCES HIMSELF BACK UP, TURNING TO HIS PARTNER! HE LEAPS FORWARD, HURT AND ALL–
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: OH, CRUD! JAKE SMITH IS THE FRESH, LEGAL MAN FOR HIS TEAM! HE RUNS IN! KNEE STRIKE! HE GRABS SOSA AND TOSSES HIM FACE FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! SPINNING THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION AROUND, HE STARTS TO LIGHT HIM UP WITH BACKHANDED CHOPS! SOSA CAN HARDLY DEFEND HIMSELF!!
Flannery McCoy: Jake on FIRE here! He sweeps SOSA by the legs and comes running in! FACE WASH! SOSA hangs over the bottom rope! I don’t even think he knows where he’s at! Jake drags him away and gets into the corner! He yells at Bronson to get up, which he does, and they both set themselves up! It’s a familiar sight…!!
Stew-O: BANG! ‘DELIRIUM’, ONE TIME FOR OLD TIME’S SAKE! SOSA DROPS DOWN FROM THE DOUBLE SUPERKICK! BRONSON ROLLS OUT THE RING TO RECOVER AS JAKE SMITH COVERS!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE–
Jake Mercer: JFRFJWGJWNGRNGNEKNBKNKEJTNKBJKETNBJKETJBNKJLNBJKNTKJNB RONAN FUCKING MALOSI EVERYBODY!!!! HE BROKE UP THE PIN! YES! YES! YES!
Flannery McCoy: Oh my God, he did! He’s in a bad way, though! That collision with the steel post has him hurt, but he was able to get there and break up the pin in time! I have to say, that’s impressive! However, Jake is not pleased at all! He runs after Ronan and sends him TUMBLING TO THE OUTSIDE WITH A CLOTHESLINE! HE’S OUT OF THE EQUATION! The referee heads on over to lean out and see if Ronan is fine! That might’ve been a nasty tumble!
Stew-O: Ronan saved SOSA, but for how much longer?! Smith leads SOSA up, ready to strike–
Jake Mercer: AJKNKNRFCJNJRNWCFJRFCHJEBHBHERVHBJBGV!!!
Flannery McCoy: ?!!
Stew-O: ‘HUNGER ON HILLSIDE’ TO BRONSON DANIELS – BY ANDRE WALKER! WHAT THE HELL?! AND THE FANS ARE BOOING!
Jake Mercer: AND LOOK! IT’S ALBERT HITCHMAN AND KING KODA! LOOK AT THEM, RACING DOWN THE RAMP TO CHECK ON RONAN! HOW CARING OF THEM! THEY HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT ANDRE’S BEST PARTNER IS FINE!
Flannery McCoy: Are they ACTUALLY checking on him, or are they DISTRACTING THE REFEREE? Because there’s a big difference, so much so that they’re catching the official off guard! They don’t realize what’s going on!
Stew-O: Andre hops on the barricade! Jake sees him! He rushes at him and goes for a punch, but Andre drops down! He shakes his finger at Jake, and Smith is pissed off! However, he gathers himself! He knows he needs to win this! He turns around–
Jake Mercer: – RIGHT INTO ‘STOLE YO BITCH’!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT JAKE PUSHES HIM AWAY! JAKE WAS ABLE TO AVOID IT! HOLY HELL! JAKE SMITH JUMPS UP AND TAKES HIM OUT WITH HIS OWN CUTTER! ‘STARMAKER’–
Stew-O: – BUT SOSA PUSHES HIM OFF–
(CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!)
Jake Mercer: AND ANDRE WALKER JUST SLID IN, CRACKING JAKE SMITH IN THE FACE WITH THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP! HE SLIDES ON OUT! JAKE IS COMPLETELY OUT! ANDRE DROPS THE TITLE DOWN ONTO BRONSON AND GOES OVER TO KODA AND ALBERT! RONAN IS UP ON HIS KNEES, SMIRKING! THIS WAS ALL A PART OF A PLAN! BAHAHAHAHA!!!
Flannery McCoy: NO! NO! NOT LIKE THIS! THE FANS AREN’T HAPPY EITHER! BRONSON IS HURT! JAKE IS HURT! SOSA SCRAMBLES ON TOP OF SMITH FOR THE PIN AS THE REFEREE TURNS AROUND! DAMN IT! THEY START THE COUNT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Stew-O: AND IT’S OVER!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(No wonders can properly describe that intense hatred pouring from the fans. ‘Faneto’ hits, with the theme song barely even being heard. SOSA rolls over onto his back, relieved. The fans, especially in the front row, look on in absolute bewilderment and anger.)
Stephie Love: Here are YOUR WINNERS…….. RONAN MALOSI, AND SOSA HENDERSON!!!
Jake Mercer: NI HAO! TIME TO GO TO SHANGHAI, BOYS! DON’T BOTHER SHOWING UP IN JAPAN!
Flannery McCoy: WHAT A HORRIBLE WAY FOR THIS MATCH TO END! JAKE WAS DAMN NEAR CLOSE TO WINNING THE MATCH, BUT ANDRE WALKER GOT INVOLVED AND LAID HIM AND BRONSON OUT! RONAN AND SOSA GET THE WIN IN ABSOLUTELY CONTROVERSIAL FASHION! A SHAME TOO, BECAUSE THIS WAS A COMPETITIVE MAIN EVENT!
Stew-O: AND YOU CAN JUST HEAR HOW UPSET EVERYONE IS ABOUT WHAT UNFOLDED! ANDRE, KING KODA AND ALBERT HITCHMAN CAME ON OUT, AND WITH HOW EVERYTHING UNFOLDED, IT SEEMED LIKE THEY HAD A BACK-UP PLAN IN CASE IT LOOKED LIKE JAKE AND BRONSON WERE STARTING TO GET THE BETTER OF RONAN AND SOSA! SURE ENOUGH, THEY ACTED ON IT, AND IT WORKED!
Jake Mercer: SUCKS TO SUCK, STEW-O! I CAN CRY TEARS OF JOY! THE KAISER RETURNS, PUTS DOWN THOSE TWO, AND BRONSON ESPECIALLY ENDS UP LOSING! CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY! THANK YOU, GAWD!!
(Andre, Ronan, King Koda, Albert Hitchman and SOSA Henderson meet up in the ring. Jake Smith has rolled out to the outside, still barely coming to. Bronson is at least able to crawl to him, clutching his midsection. Resting themselves against the barricade, they look at the EAW World Heavyweight Championship, then to the men in the ring. They shake their heads, angry as can be.)
Jake Smith: (off-mic) … you bastard. Back with the sneak attacks. I swear to God, Andre, you have made things worse for yourself!
(Andre chuckles.)
Andre Walker: (off-mic) I didn’t do this: you did. You’re going to lose to me, but don’t worry. Bronson will join you on that end at House of Glass.
(Walker’s eyes fall to his long-time rival.)
Bronson Daniels: (off-mic) No. We’ll win in the end. We will.
(Andre shakes his eyes, looking at them with ingenuine pity. Ronan grins. SOSA makes a finger gun at Bronson before motioning at his own waist.)
Stew-O: Wow. What an end to this match. It may not have been the ending anyone here anticipated, but Ronan Malosi and SOSA Henderson are your winners. Still, this is far from over. We can only imagine what Bronson and Jake will have to say next week in the aftermath of this contest.
Jake Mercer: A perfect end, you meant. Jake and Bronson can stew, but winners always prosper!
Flannery McCoy: What? They were robbed! Oh, but it’s useless going back and forth about this. For now, they stand tall, but with how infuriated Bronson and Jake are, I doubt it’s going to last long.
Stew-O: We have much to cover in the aftermath, along with everything else! Next week, we touch down in Seoul, South Korea for the final Dynasty before House of Glass! We’ll see you all then, live on ESPN!
(Jake and Bronson continue to glare at everyone, down and hurt as Dynasty fades to black.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
