(EAW intro plays.)
(Friday Night Dynasty intro plays. Afterwards, a brief montage recapping the results of last week’s show plays: Joso celebrated his World Heavyweight Championship victory over Myles at House of Glass. Myles gives him his flowers for getting the job done. Corey Hale defeated Nejari Young. Richard Grant and Kensingten Calhoun-Astor announce that every champion on Dynasty will have a qualifying match to enter the Extreme Elimination Chamber at Road to Redemption. They also announce that a mystery competitor will enter the Chamber. Mia Santoro defeated Jay Starr. Minerva scared off an interviewer who was attempting to question her after her loss against Drake King at House of Glass. Clayton Golde defeated Issac Crow. Myles was interviewed backstage only to be interrupted by Cy Henderson, and both men briefly argued before Myles left. Chris Elite defeated Vincent Mondrian. BRAE cut a promo reflecting on his victory over Issac Crow, Mia Santoro and Clayton Golde at House of Glass, and contemplated potential challengers as well as what the future of the New Breed Division could look like with him shaping it. Drake Armstrong defeated Daniella Atlas via disqualification after hitting Atlas with his ring. Hans Grayson cut a promo maintaining that he is looking to elevate the Interwire title and also wants to win the Dynasty Extreme Elimination Chamber at Road to Redemption. In the main event, ex McAllister defeated Drake King after Minerva attacked the latter. Afterwards, Minerva attacked Drake further, ending things with her standing over her bloodied nemesis.)
(Friday Night Dynasty enters its live broadcast, capturing the sights of the Barclays Center in New York City. Many fans are outside the arena, bringing out that signature, hyped energy the people of the city are known for. However, as things transition inside, everything is dark. All that can be seen is a lone spotlight in the ring, along with someone right within it, sitting on what appears to be a steel chair. Some fans in attendance cheer, and as the shot transitions to a more close-up one, it is clear that the person in the chair is Minerva. Her face is painted with a mixture of anger and anguish. However, in her grasp is a microphone, and she raises it up to her mouth. There is a brief moment of hesitancy, but soon, she parts her lips to speak.)
Minerva: House of Glass. Just saying those words alone…
(She trails off, pausing as she gathers her thoughts, her voice carrying a quiet bitterness.)
Minerva: That night was a turning point for me. I’ve fought wars in this ring before. I’ve tasted my own blood, felt bones crack, and pushed myself to the absolute edge of my sanity. I’ve been put through hell more times than I can count, and I’ve always managed to stand back up. Every scar, every bruise, every moment of agony—it’s all part of the life I chose. But what happened that night? That was different. That was… personal. Something that has messed with me in ways I couldn’t even possibly imagined would. Perhaps it was a bit naive looking back, thinking that I knew everything that could’ve happened that night. I never expected to leave unscathed. Never thought that it was going to be easy, even with how many times Drake King and I crossed paths on opposing ends. But I did think I could win. I did think that I could kill his ego once and for all and show him that blaming others for his misfortunes or trying to act as if he is faultless was never going to work for him. Not at this point. Not anymore. Instead, the complete opposite happened. I was the one who not only lost, but I was shattered in the process.
(Her grip tightens on the microphone, the frustration evident in her body language. She’s almost trembling.)
Minerva: I was stripped down to nothing. Left feeling like everything I thought I knew, everything I believed in, had been torn away. Just when I thought that I had him dead to rights, he played me like a fiddle. I hesitated, even for the briefest of moments, and I paid dearly for it.
(She pauses.)
Minerva: Even with me so intent on pulling the trigger, I was a second too late.
(She lets out a shaky sigh before continuing.)
Minerva: Even now, I do not know why I stopped to even entertain such an obvious trap, but I did. Now because of that, I have to deal with the trauma and anguish all over again. I have to look down, see the branding mark I had formerly gotten rid of, and see for myself how that disgusting, maniacal man was able to ruin me. But this isn’t about New Eden and the history that comes with it anymore. No. That hatchet has long been buried. This is about a man who nearly ended my career leaving with the last laugh, despite how hurt and bloodied he was in his own right. He got away. He got away…. He…
Minerva: …
Minerva: He… got his vindication. And I couldn’t stomach it. That is why I did what I had to last week. He couldn’t escape me. He couldn’t get away with everything. wasn’t going to let him walk away with that twisted smile on his face, thinking he’d bested me, thinking he’d won. No, I needed him to know that for every ounce of suffering he put me through, there would be consequences. I needed him to understand that I’m not the same woman he manipulated and broke down. I’m something far more dangerous now. He lit a fire inside me, and it’s a fire that won’t be extinguished until he feels the same torment he inflicted on me. He brought back to the surface everything I wanted to move past by, making feel helpless, making me feel weak, making me feel like I could be above any of this, when I can’t! I cannot afford to be someone he can trample over. He already did so before. He had my mind ensared, consumed by all of these thoughts of him when I was supposed to be happy. I just had the most perfect season I ever could’ve had. I became a Hall of Famer, a wife, a record breaker, and more, and yet, he sought to undermine all of that by taking away a career that has afforded me so much.
(A far more darker look takes hold of her eyes.)
Minerva: So, he will pay. This isn’t about what happened in the past between us. This is about everything he has done to me recently. Every bit of torment and pain he has given onto me. Drake King will not know peace. He doesn’t deserve to. After all, if I couldn’t be afforded the same thing… then why should he? He thinks he’s untouchable, that he can dance with the devil and walk away unscathed. But he hasn’t met the devil I’ve become. For every moment of doubt, every tear, every scar he’s carved into my soul—he’ll pay. I’ll make sure he knows what it feels like to have everything stripped away, to feel powerless, to be haunted by the ghost of his own choices. He can try and run, say that he doesn’t need to be dealing with me anymore, but he doesn’t have a choice. He no longer has ANY choice. He will be brought down to Hell for as long as I see fit, until he truly understands the weight of his actions and the consequences that will come about. Drake King will know what true torment is, and when it is all said and done, there shall be no redemption for him. No escape. No happy ending. No heaven. Only the burning, sweltering, uncomfortable, blistering Hell that he so rightfully deserves. I’ll make sure every breath he takes is laced with regret, that every moment he spends looking over his shoulder is a reminder that I am coming for him. It will seep into his very bones, become part of his every waking thought until there’s nothing left of the man who once thought he could ruin me.
(Minerva’s voice deepens with venom, the intensity of her words sending chills through the arena. The silence of the crowd is deafening, captivated by the raw fury she’s genuinely displaying.)
Minerva: … And I want him soon. I want him at Road to Redemption. No later than that. Drake King will answer for every single thing he has done to me, and maybe then, I will get the peace I have desired. Maybe then, I will be able to carry on and live my life. Or maybe… not. Maybe I will not get back the perfect life I wanted for myself. I’ll probably sit and stew, letting all of this bitterness fester within me. But at least I’ll have given Drake to worst loss of his entire career, and when I stare down at his broken, bloodied body just as I did last week… he will ache just like how I’ve ached.
(Minerva closes her eyes.)
Minerva: Moartea este prea milostivă pentru un om nenorocit care merită mult mai rău.
(Minerva rises from the chair, her head hanging low. She drops the microphone loosely from her grasp. And with that cold open out of the way, the crowd remains silent, tension thick in the air as the screen fades to black, leaving the promise of her retribution hanging like a dark cloud over the night.)
(A commercial plays for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, featuring Myles.)
(Dynasty cuts to the backstage area as immediately we are cut to the voice of someone speaking with a demanding tone.)
Mia Santoro: Is this on???
(Mia Santoro had basically ripped the attention of a cameraman her way as she just looked at the camera. It had been yet another opportunity for Mia Santoro that she was unable to capitalize on. But there was a purpose and opinion she wished to establish here.)
Mia Santoro: I just wanna start on a limb and say these last few months have been me at my pinnacle, unable to come anywhere near the standard I wanna represent. I want to be a champion already, and it has been remote control failure after yet another remote control failure. I have found myself unable to edge near the situation I wanna be in. And it’s so absolutely upsetting. But look, I just wanna start and bring up the Specialists Championship held by Daniella Atlas. I know my worth, and I know that as long as I scratch and claw, that Championship can be in my possession. I have had my moments these last couple years. I can name specific moments where the Specialists Championship was in my path. I can name specific moments where I just had Championship glory in my future. But something would go wrong. The lack there was; and I hate it. But now I have a shot to go back and do better. And look – Daniella has been pretty unbeatable. But that doesn’t mean she can’t be beaten; that doesn’t mean she can’t be humbled like so. There are so many layers for me to crack down on here. And I’m gonna start, but I know what that Specialists Championship brings to the table. I have been there, and yes. I have done all of that. I competed for the championship at Pain For Pride, and ultimately I know what to expect and anticipate. But first I just wanna be straight forward here, no beating around the bush. The New Breed Championship loss sucked. It sucked a lot. I watched as my hopes and dreams were sucked dry, right as I got to the end. And of course; that leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
(Mia Santoro just shook her head in disappointment, she played back the memory in her head.)
Mia Santoro: The New Breed Championship loss was just disappointing though. To be that close to victory, but you know what? It was also an improvement. Don’t question that. It was a step up in the right direction; and yes. I was this close, the skin on my teeth away to beating BRAE. And there may have been points in the match where BRAE was defeated. But it didn’t work that way. But still, I can acknowledge the fact that there have been some steady improvements. I came that close to winning, and then last week I picked up a nice victory in my favor. Even though I had a lot going against me in my favor, that heartbreak was what fueled me. There is without a shadow of the doubt; extra absolute motivation coursing through my veins. There is so much more concern, there is so much more respect. There is ultimately so much more on the horizon for me to keep pushing forward with. And guess what baby? Mia Santoro is not only coming back stronger, but she’s coming back better than ever. And with that said; you allowed me to get motivated and determined. That should be terrifying for everybody else. Because now I have an objective to work for.
(Mia said with a confident smirk now gliding across her face. She crossed her arms and stood firmly at the camera.)
Mia Santoro: Plus, Road To Redemption is so close. That’s one of the marquee events of the year, there is never a more lively environment outside of like Pain For Pride when it comes to this event. So many people value it as their stargazing moment. World Champions have been legacized in those moments; and believe me. I get want in on that action. I want to be known as an Elitist who finally got over that hurdle and won a championship. I want to end 2024 on a high note, and ascend to 2025 in an even better one. And look, I don’t want to sound like some sort of broken record. I feel like this has always been my retort, but I am finally gonna tread towards that direction I’m supposed to be in. I am finally gonna exist within a plain of—
(And just then, Mia Santoro was cut off.)
Daniella Atlas: Couldn’t help but overhear you ma cherie..
(Daniella Atlas stood with the Specialists Championship over her shoulder. Her intimidating presence remaining top.)
Mia Santoro: So you heard everything I had to say? Beginning with how I am coming after THAT Specialists Championship, and I am finally gonna put an end to my drought, and become champion?
(Daniella didn’t answer her. She just stood there, she didn’t have a single thing to truly say.)
Mia Santoro: Do you really wanna ignore me, hun? Do you really wanna sit here and act like I am nothing but a contender. I can take that title away from you. And I can also snatch everything else coming with it, babes. So calm yourself, humble yourself, and stop searching for validation. I can take everything away from you. So please, calm it.
(Mia Santoro was showcasing some heavy heart. She showed absolutely zero sign of backing down, but as for Daniella.. she just laughs right in her face. Sheesh.)
Mia Santoro: Laughing in my face, honey you’re going to regret that-
(Daniella would simply walked forward, intentionally shouldering the hell out of Mia Santoro. Mia stumbled backwards, as she was just wide eyed. Daniella didn’t say anything; she just trotted off.)
Mia Santoro: Did she just….. oh you wait.
(With that said, an angered Mia Santoro stood, looking to prove Daniella wrong.)
(Transitioning to ringside, immediately the speakers are met as “Judas” by Lady Gaga plays. Holly Arrows steps her way out with nothing but calm and poise on her face. She had a match at House Of Glass against Vincent Mondrian, and that would be a match that went really well in her favor. That confidence and poise was what carried her to the ring, as she walked.)
Stew-O: Holly Arrow with one hell of a performance at House Of Glass to duly note. She had a lot of weight on her shoulders going into the event, but she pulled it off.
Flannery McCoy: It was a war..It was a difficult and improbable battle with odds stacked against her, but in the end — Holly Arrow pulled through where she saw fit.
Jake Mercer: I feel like there is a lot to talk about here, so let’s see what Holly Arrow has to give!
(Holly entered the ring now, as her theme music died down. Finally, granting her the opportunity to speak.)
Holly Arrow: I think it is safe to say that when pressure was heavily building, cracking against my surface. I was able to prevail with withering circumstances. I had a shit start to the season, I’m gonna be the first to acknowledge just how horrible it was. It was not something I wanted to write home about; but. I just wanted to state; Vincent Mondrian swung himself into the picture. And I was ready to pick up a challenge. I felt I had something to prove, so I went out on a limb to prove exactly that… And would you look at what happened? Holly Arrow is back in the marquee win column, and she’s still undefeated in Light Tube Death Matches.
(That one garnered a small snicker from Holly Arrow. It was the truth though, and she just kept pacing around.)
Holly Arrow: All in all, I feel really good. Great if you will. I know that there is still plenty of work to be done; but if you were to go ahead and ask me? A lot of those worries have been alleviated. I can really go back to my talking points here; it’s all about that build back up. This season for me started rocky with back to back defeats on marquee events. But it was always just gonna take time; that was glaringly apparent. I just needed to go ahead and start fixing. Vincent may not be someone that the EAW universe views as a world beater. I will be honest with that, but that is not taking away from anything he was in that ring. A true tough as hell individual who doesn’t stop at achieving his maximum goal. Sure I was annoyed by him trying to run that same generic gambit that everyone else runs.. “Holly Arrow, you are a failure who has let everyone down”. I’ll still acknowledge the respect where the respect needs to be acknowledged. He did all that, but you know what he did at the end of the day?
(Holly walked closer towards the camera when delivering the statement.)
Holly Arrow: He fueled a fire, and lit one under my ass that led to my victory. So yes, you can go out on a limb and say it right now. Vincent Mondrian manifested his own failures. This match was not only about winning, but it was about dispelling buddling doubts. It was about cleansing my palate and getting myself steered in the right direction. A win can do a lot for the body and soul, and now that I have dispelled those harboring doubts, I am ready to start rocking in that right direction. What is the common denominator goal of every Elitist in EAW? Championship gold. Let it be as generic as you wanna get. I have spoken about it before, and I have mentioned a plethora of championships. Interwire, UWC, even the World Heavyweight Championship was thrown into there. I brought all those up but uh…let’s narrow it down. The Interwire Championship is nice, while it’s prominent and while it’s there. I want to be a World Champion.
(Holly Arrow said straight forward, as she just shrugged. That is the penultimate goal of everyone.)
Holly Arrow: Now, we slender down to 2 options, don’t we?
(Anticipation was building from the fans, as Holly Arrow already knew what her heart desired, but she was fueling the excitement with anticipation. Leaving everyone on the edge of their seats..)
Holly Arrow: Fine, I am just gonna cut to the chase. The Universal Women’s Championship is the direction that I am looking in. I mean, go back about what? 4-ish months go now, and you remember the draft show? I didn’t forget about that. I came out of there and made my intentions known. I made them DIRECTLY known to Milli, and it doesn’t matter who is holding that title, because it can be Milli. And it can be KASAI, deep down I want an opportunity again now that I have some strive pushing in my favor. And you can load the entire stack as much as you want; I’m coming for that title. And when you talk about the Chamber, I have experience being in one for that exact title. Three years ago, a full circle moment wasn’t it? Of course things are gonna be different. The competition is going to be a whole lot stiffer, way more cutthroat and dangerous. And if you want me to be honest; I was nowhere near the same competitor I am now, 3 years. BUT, I don’t expect it to be easy. But if it were easy, it wouldn’t bother me that much either. People wrote me off as someone who would never hold championship gold — and I proceeded to prove them absolutely wrong. I know that lightning can strike twice in the same place; because I can’t wait to prove people wrong again. Not only double down and become champion again; but become WORLD Champion. For the first time ever in my eaw career. However, let me reiterate. I want to EARN it. So when it comes to a qualifying match, it should be quite simple. Sign me up for it. And when it’s all said and done; I’m ending 2024 on top.
(Holly Arrow proceeded to drop the mic, as the entire allure around her was different now. There was a positive atmosphere even more, and she had finally gotten rolling. “Judas” by Lady Gaga continued to play as she walked up the ramp.)
Stew-O: There is a level of confidence in Holly Arrow, that is screaming bring on any fire, I am ready to be burnt!
Flannery McCoy: This is her when she can be confident. Those victories keep rolling in, and she will only continue to be more and more confident! And that might spell disaster for anyone who gets in her way.
Jake Mercer: She refuses to take the easy road, it’s the high road or no road for her!
(With that stated, Holly Arrow was officially gone, as Dynasty faded to commercials.)
(A commercial plays for Blade, featuring Chris Elite snoring by a computer as he’s on a news site revealing that the movie has been delayed indefinitely. Fucking bozos.)
(Back from commercials, the camera goes over to Stephie Love in the ring.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Carnival’ by ¥$ hits the speakers and Nejari Young charges out from the back. He tags a couple of fans on his way down to the ring, stopping at the edge of the ramp, waiting for his partner. ‘Carnivore’ by Starset is next to hit and Corey Hale runs out from the back, nodding his head. The fans cheer for both men, as they make their way down.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, at a combined weight of 428 pounds, the team of the “Walking Main Event” NEJARI YOUNG and “The Celestial Wanderer” Corey Hale!
Stew-O: Last week, these two faced off as opponents, and this week they’ll be partners! Nejari Young and Corey Hale both have bright futures here in EAW, and tonight is a chance for Nejari to get back on track, and Corey to keep momentum going.
Flannery McCoy: These two are such thrilling New Breeds here on Dynasty. Their first taste of a tag match will show where their abilities stand on an improvisation front.
(‘Good Life’ by Kanye West ft. T-Pain hits as Tyson Nicolas Taylor makes his way out to the unfamiliar atmosphere of Dynasty. T.N.T. has a cocky grin on his face, ignoring the confused and judgy looks of the crowd. It cuts out as ‘Betty (Get Money)!’ by Yung Gravy is next to play, and Clayton Golde emerges with his paid influencer at his side. He extends his arms out, and brushes past T.N.T., telling his partner to follow his lead.)
Stephie Love: Their opponents, at a combined weight of 465 pounds, the team of TYSON NICOLAS TAYLOR and “The Gospel” CLAYTON GOLDE!
Jake Mercer: There aren’t many teams of singles wrestlers that have as much in common as these do. I don’t know much about T.N.T., but I can infer pretty clearly that he and Clayton Golde will be voting for the same person in the election!
Flannery McCoy: Is Clayton even allowed to vote these days?
(DING DING DING!)
Stew-O: It appears that Clayton Golde insists to Tyson Nicolas Taylor that he start this match off– and Nejari Young swings in and throws hands at Clayton! Clayton flies into the turnbuckles, covering up! Nejari is beating down on Golde, and Golde has no choice but to tag out!
Jake Mercer: T.N.T. enters the ring, upset at Golde throwing him in– and NEJARI POPS HIM WITH A RIGHT HAND TO THE JAW! He staggers away from the corner and Nejari leans him on the ropes for an irish whip! T.N.T. counters it and looks for a back body drop, but Nejari kicks him in the jaw! He hits off the ropes for momentum, but gets flattened with a running knee strike that cracks him in the mouth!
Flannery McCoy: Tyson making his debut tonight, looking to make a huge impact. He had a lot to say about Nejari earlier in the week and here’s his chance to back that up. He drags Nejari and nails him with a right hand to the forehead. Nejari wobbles, and Tyson throws another! Nejari falls into the corners and Tyson starts stomping him in the ribs repeatedly! Nejari tries to cover up, but he’s getting battered.
Clayton Golde: (off-mic) Hey! I want in! Tag me in!
Stew-O: Now Clayton Golde wants into the match?! Tyson side-eyes Clayton, second-guessing if he should. But the more experienced Golde is insistent, and Tyson drags him in. He pulls Nejari over and Clayton enters the ring. Both lean Nejari onto the ropes and irish whips him off! They follow up with a double clothesline! Nejari hits the canvas hard, and Clayton drops into the cover.
OOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Jake Mercer: But Nejari kicks out! Golde drags him up and knees him in the ribs. He turns him around and takes the waist, lifting him for a back suplex! Clayton rolls to his feet and flexes, proud of his work so far. Nejari is downed and Clayton places his head down, leaping into a stomp to the forehead!
Flannery McCoy: Corey Hale reaches out, trying to will his partner back into this one. Clayton pulls Nejari up and takes the head, trying for a vertical suplex, but Nejari floats over! He shoves Clayton off to the ropes and Nejari hits off the ropes behind him! Flying forearm takes Clayton down!
Stew-O: T.N.T. reaches out once again, while Golde is flattened. Nejari crawls over, and he leaps into the tag to Corey Hale! Corey slingshots in and Clayton staggers up, but T.N.T. enters the ring and tries to cut Corey off! But Corey cracks him with a thrust kick to the ribs!
Jake Mercer: Tyson holds his ribs in pain. Clayton stumbles up and Corey bounces off the ropes, building steam as he leaps into an enzuigiri– AND TYSON’S HEAD BOUNCES INTO CLAYTON’S HEAD! MEETING OF THE MINDS! Tyson falls out of the ring while Clayton is dazed in the corner!
Stew-O: Corey points at him and charges into a corner shoulder thrust! Clayton holds his ribs and Corey throws him out of the corner. He spins, sweeping Clayton out to his legs! Corey hits off with a PENALTY KICK! He spins, with a standing moonsault! Clayton holds his ribs in pain and Corey steps out of the ring, looking to follow up.
Flannery McCoy: But Tyson comes out of nowhere, sweeping Corey’s legs out! He falls back first onto the apron! Corey wheezes out in pain, and Tyson pulls him off of the apron, scooping him up and spinning into a spinebuster on the canvas! Corey is out of it, and Tyson rises to his feet with a big smirk on his face. Tyon drags him up and throws him into the ring, hopping onto the apron.
Jake Mercer: He holds his hand out, and Clayton crawls over to make the tag. While Clayton rolls out, Tyson enters the ring and pulls Corey up. He drills him with a big knife edge chop! He sends him to the ropes with another! Tyson wraps Corey’s arms around the ropes and starts throwing a multitude of punches to the ribs! Corey wheezes out, and Tyson starts to knee him in the side over and over!
Stew-O: He pulls Corey off and scoops him up. Tyson tries for a scoop slam– but COREY FLIPS FORWARD INTO A STUNDOG MILLIONAIRE! Tyson falls to a knee, and Corey rolls over, tagging Nejari back in! Nejari climbs the top rope! Tyson slowly rises, and Nejari flies off the top rope with a diving crossbody! He hooks the legs and Corey guards the ring!
OOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Flannery McCoy: CLAYTON GOLDE SHOVES COREY HALE INTO THE PINFALL! It’s broken and they live on in this one! Nejari rolls away, holding his head. Golde drags Corey up and throws him out of the ring. Nejari rises and turns Clayton, swinging a punch – but Clayton blocks it and rakes his eyes!
Jake Mercer: The referee reprimands Golde, while T.N.T. pulls Nejari down with a schoolboy rollup! He even hooks the tights, but the referee hasn’t looked to see the cover! Clayton is begging him to focus on the pinfall– but COREY PULLS GOLDE OUT OF THE RING! He grabs him by the head and throws him into the ring post! The referee turns back!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE–
Stew-O: Nejari kicks out at one, and Tyson is pissed! He focuses on the referee, and turns back to Nejari.. SUPERKICK! The superkick sends Tyson falling backwards into the turnbuckles! Nejari turns and hits off! He leaps into a STINGER SPLASH! Tyson slips to a seated position, and he’s out of it! Nejari isn’t done yet, though!
Jake Mercer: He runs across the ring once more, and vaults his entire body into a nasty hip attack! The back of T.N.T.’s head bounces off the bottom turnbuckle! He pulls him to the center of the ring and drops into a pinfall of his own, looking to end the match here!
OOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Flannery McCoy: KICK OUT FROM T.N.T! Nejari rolls over, shaking his head. Corey Hale is on the apron and asks for a tag. Nejari nods and crawls over, tagging him in. Corey runs over to the center of the apron. He springboards up, WITH A SWANTON BOMB! He takes the ropes and leaps up the middle rope! SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT! Another cover!

Flannery McCoy: Golde snags the head and drops back into a SPIKE DDT! Clayton Golde is doing all he can to get his team into this one! Corey has no idea where he’s at, that’s for sure. Clayton wobbles up, breathing heavily. He calls for him to rise!
Jake Mercer: Clayton leaps up the middle rope! HE JUMPS BACK INTO THE BRAND DEAL– COREY CATCHES HIS WAIST WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! THE BACK OF CLAYTON’S HEAD HITS THE CANVAS HARD! Corey is building himself back up!
Flannery McCoy: He takes the ropes, waiting for Clayton to rise! He hits off the ropes, trying to set up for ZENBREAK– Clayton sidesteps it and Corey lands! He turns back… DEMONITIZED! DISCUS ELBOW FLOORS HIM! He drops down, hooking the legs for the cover!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEE—
Jake Mercer: KICK OUT BY COREY! He barely gets his shoulder up! Clayton kneels up, looking at the referee. I think he can’t believe Hale is still in this one! Clayton looks over to see his partner on the apron, contemplating a tag. But he doesn’t go for it, I think he can handle this alone!
Stew-O: He drags Corey up and turns him around. He takes the neck, trying for C’est La Vie! But Corey fights it off! He brings him down with a backslide!

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEE—
Stew-O: BUT GOLDE BARELY KICKS OUT! Nejari rolls over, nodding to Corey who staggers over to their apron. He slowly pulls himself up. Nejari’s about to tag out–
Flannery McCoy: T.N.T. comes out of nowhere, pulling Corey off the apron! He wraps his arms around his ribs and runs him into the steel steps! Corey falls over, holding his back. He writhes in pain and jogs around the ring. Nejari pulls Clayton up, but Clayton pulls his hair! And he snaps back into a HEADBUTT! Nejari falls, and Clayton stumbles back, stumbling to his side of the ring.
Jake Mercer: Tyson tags himself in and pulls Nejari up, wasting no time. He leans Nejari’s head down and tucks his head into his thighs and hooks the arms, spinning and lifting him upside down… THE GOLD RUSH! NEJARI IS OUT!
Stew-O: He rolls over and crawls to Nejari, hooking the legs for the cover!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEE—
Jake Mercer: NEJARI FINDS A WAY TO GET HIS SHOULDER UP! JUST IN TIME! Tyson is pissed! He gets into it with the referee, demanding a recount!
Flannery McCoy: I’m sure he knows a lot about calling for that… He turns back around and pulls Nejari up, kicking him in the gut. He tries to snap into Liquid Assets— but Nejari shoves him to the ropes!
Stew-O: Tyson bounces off chest first, and Nejari catches the waist and wrists. He ripcords him out, BACKDOOR! THE ELBOW LANDS FLUSH! Nejari stumbles over T.N.T., and a pissed Corey Hale is on the apron! He calls for a tag!
Jake Mercer: Nejari drops to a knee, tagging Corey in! Nejari grabs him by the head and sits him up in the corner, and Corey springboards up, HALESTORM! SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK TO THE SKULL, HE JUST WENT COAST TO COAST! Corey drags him away and hooks the legs!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEE—
Flannery McCoy: Golde pulls Corey out of the ring! Sheer desperation right there! He takes him by the head and lifts him vertically for a brainbuster— Corey lands behind him! He leaps onto his shoulders! POISON RANA!
Stew-O: He’s out of it! Corey slides in and Tyson is trying to rise, but he’s got no idea where he’s at! Corey bypasses him, hitting off the ropes and Nejari tags himself in! Nejari is climbing the top rope, and Corey drills Tyson with HEAVEN TO HALE! DRIVES HIS HEAD INTO THE CANVAS!
Jake Mercer: AND NEJARI FLIES OFF THE TOP! LOUISIANA HANGOVER! THE DIVING HEADBUTT CONNECTS! NEJARI PINS HIM AND COREY WATCHES THE RING!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEE!!!!!
(DING DING DING!)
Stephie Love: Here are your winners of this match, COREY HALE AND NEJARI YOUNG!
(Nejari rolls off of Tyson, nodding. Clayton looks outside in disbelief, while Corey helps him up, patting his back. Both men dap each other up and climb the middle rope, celebrating their victory with the cheering crowd.)
Stew-O: Tonight, Nejari Young and Corey Hale were just firing off on all cylinders! Strong
showing from them!
Flannery McCoy: The egos of Tyson Nicolas Taylor and Clayton Golde were in full effect, and you just saw the aftermath of it right there.
Jake Mercer: Unfortunate, but that’s what happens when you’re not on the same page! I can’t wait to see what’s next for Nejari and Corey, though!
(The two continue to celebrate as Dynasty fades to commercials.)
(A commercial plays for the MLB World Series, celebrating the LA Dodgers winning. Technically, New York still wins based on history, right?)
(As Dynasty returns from commercial break, ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ can be heard playing as Kensingten Calhoun-Astor and Richard Grant are together in the ring. However, the Brooklyn fans are not happ at all to see them. The crowd relentlessly boo down the two Dynasty general managers. Eventually, ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ fades off, and Kensingten and Richard speak up, clearly being sarcastic.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Wow. This must be the classic New York hospitality that is always talked about! 😄
Crowd: Booooooooooooooooooooo!
Richard Grant: It sure is a quaint place, isnt it, Kensi?
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Oh, it most certainly is, sugar. But I’m afraid “quaint” is far too kind of a word for a place that prides itself on being “the heart of New York” while reeking of nothing but broken dreams, greasy food and subway rats.
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
(Kensingten’s smile only widens as she continues.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: You all can boo all you want, but I think we all remember the last time a major event took place in this very building, don’t we? Ah, yes, the disgrace that was an absolute robbery. A championship stolen from the proud, hard-working people of Minnesota! But of course, fairness isn’t a concept you lot are familiar with, is it? This is Brooklyn, after all.
(The crowd erupts into even louder boos, some fans shouting profanities as Kensingten and Richard exchange amused glances.)
Richard Grant: Now, now, calm down, you uncultured heathens. We’re not just here to talk about your city’s inferiority or the fact that it played host to one of the greatest injustices the sports world has ever seen. Hopefully, the election won’t be stolen in similar fashion to that or back in 2020.
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: I know, right? What’s even more startling is the fact that apparently, the polls are quite close! Has this country NOT learned its lesson when it comes to trusting those filthy, lying, scheming Democrats? I mean, we have literally seen first hand the inefficiencies of the Biden and Harris Administration, but people seriously want to vote for her?!
Richard Grant: It’s beyond comprehension, Kensingten. But then again, we’re standing in Brooklyn, where standards and common sense seem to be as rare as a clean subway seat. It’s no wonder that some of these people would fall for the same empty promises and performative politics that Kamala Harris embodies. A woman whose greatest achievement seems to be her ability to cackle and avoid answering any serious questions.
(The crowd erupts with mixed reactions, some boos reaching new heights while others stand in stunned silence, unable to believe the audacity. Richard and Kensingten, however, revel in the chaos.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Oh, Richard, you hit the nail right on the head. And while we’re talking about true leadership and real results, let’s remember the man who knew how to run this country like a well-oiled machine—Donald J. Trump. Say what you will, but under his watch, we had order, we had strength, and most importantly, we had a leader who didn’t pander to the likes of Brooklyn hipsters and their so-called progressive ideals.
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Richard Grant: Oh, the truth hurts, doesn’t it? This city and its so-called resilience, its “gritty” charm? Give me a break. It’s nothing compared to the iron will of a true leader. Someone who doesn’t mind ruffling feathers, who stands firm even when the media vultures swarm. Meanwhile, what do we have now? A vice president whose greatest accomplishment is… what, exactly? Holding up photo ops and spewing platitudes while avoiding any real work?
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Exactly, Richard! And don’t even get me started on the difference between a place like Brooklyn and, say, a city with actual backbone. You see, Brooklyn is all flash with no substance, like Harris’ speeches. It’s loud, obnoxious, and desperate for attention. You want to see the heart of America? You don’t find it here, you find it where people work hard and hold onto values that actually mean something.
(Richard nods, raising his microphone to interject as the boos only grow louder, the crowd now becoming vulgar.)
Crowd: SHUT THE FUCK UP! 👏 👏 👏👏👏 SHUT THE FUCK UP! 👏 👏 👏👏👏
Richard Grant: Aww, bless your hearts. However, we’re not here just to educate you lot on civics, although clearly, you need it. No, we’re here to set the stage for greatness, something your beloved city hasn’t seen in a long time. And if we have to remind everyone of what true leadership, true grit, and true victory look like, then so be it. We’re here because we have important announcements that even you, with your limited intelligence, should be able to comprehend. At least by this time next week, our beautiful country will finally be saved! :blessed:
(The fans continue to react negatively, but the arena’s discontent doesn’t faze the two. Richard straightens his jacket before stepping back, allowing Kensingten to take center stage.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Now, as much as I’d love to keep pointing out the many, many flaws of this place, we have more pressing matters at hand. In just two weeks, Dynasty will be hosting a special show—a Supershow, in fact, that will lead us straight into Road to Redemption. This event will feature chamber qualifiers, championship defenses, and other important matche and moments that you won’t want to miss. But that’s not all. The GMs from all brands have come together and have made a collective decision. We’re talking about an addition of a yearly tradition for Road to Redemption, and for those who crave opportunity, then you know exactly what I am talking about. So yes, we are proud to announce the Extreme Enigma Battle Royal coming back this year, but this time, it’s going to be bigger and better than before!
(At least that finally got some of the fans to calm down their anger. Aside from a match that has served to pay tribute to one of the all-time greats in Extreme Enigma, there seems to be some extra rewards at stake based on what Kensingten is hinting at.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Now, as for the incentives that come with this prestigious match… well, we’ll keep you all guessing, won’t we? We’ll reveal those details in due time, but trust me, it will be worth the wait. In fact, these incentives are gonna be different from the usual rewards that are often bestowed onto the winner. So, to every Elitist out there who thinks they have what it takes you better prepare yourselves, because when the time comes, only the truly great will seize this opportunity, and as for the rest? Well, mediocrity won’t get you anywhere, just like it won’t help this city.
(The fans go back to booing like crazy. Kensingten and Richard laugh.)
Richard Grant: All will be known soon enough. But for now, you stupid hipsters and cancel culture warriors can enjoy your stupid, expensive soy lattes and worrying about whether or not your next door neighbors will burst through your apartments at night. We will continue making Dynasty the best brand in this company, just like our great leader Donald J. Trump will once he gets back what is rightfully his!
Kensingten-Calhoun-Astor: Actually, let’s not call him that. Let’s go back to calling him by his proper title, and that is President Trump.
Richard Grant: Oh, absolutely, Kensi.
(‘Sweet Home Alabama’ plays again before the two leave the ring.)
Stew-O: Well, scathing comments aside, Kensingten and Richard revealed some big plans for our upcoming Dynasty Supeshow before Road to Redemption, and I must admit, I am intrigued. Based on what they’ve hinted at, this Extreme Enigma Battle Royale could be the biggest one yet as there are some extra incentives involved!
Jake Mercer: I guess the winner won’t only be content with just a big cash prize, but with something even bigger than that! I can’t wait!
Flannery McCoy: And of course, I am excited to see what will be in store for us once we get to that Supershow. Title defenses? Chamber qualifying matches? There’s a lot to look forward.
(Soon, Dynasty heads over to a quick commercial break.)
(A commercial plays for the 2024 Election. If you don’t vote, don’t bitch about whoever ends up winning. Seriously.)
Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FOLLOWING IS A SINGLES MATCH SET FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Stephie Love: AND IT IS TO DETERMINE AN ENTRANT FOR THE EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER!
(Star Wars: Duel of The Fates | EPIC VERSION (Remastered V2) by Samuel Kim Music began blaring through the speakers to loud mixed reactions as the EAW New Breed Champion, BRAE, marched out onto the stage with his championship draped over his shoulder. He gripped it with both hands as he raised it up into the air with a loud war cry before beginning a militant march down the ramp with intense focus.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST! Hailing from Novosibirsk, Russia, weighing in at 215 pounds… he is the EAW NEW BREED CHAMPION… LORD BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Stew-O: If we’re talking about important matches, this one has to be up there with one of the most important matches as we continue heading towards Road to Redemption at the end of the year! As Dynasty’s administration announced last week, all of the champions in the brand will be competing to enter the Extreme Elimination Chamber, which will have Joso’s newly won World Heavyweight Championship on the line!
Flannery McCoy: As much as we hate their… particular opinions on certain subjects… that decision definitely brought the heat for Dynasty’s Extreme Elimination Chamber! What grander way to set up the chamber for the World Heavyweight Championship than to bring in the other champions of the brand to fight for it as well? We could very well see a double champion by the end of Road to Redemption!
Jake Mercer: Later tonight, Hans will be competing against Raven Roberts to get into that chamber as well! I believe I speak for all the Graysonites when I say, he should be in it!
Stew-O: Get a hold of yourself. In any case, this may be one of the most unpredictable matches on the card; New Breed Champion versus Specialist’s Champion, and both of them have been on a tear since they got the gold! There’s no telling which one will walk out on top!
(‘Vortex’ by Jinjer began playing to loud mixed reactions as well, as Daniella Atlas slowly sauntered her way out onto the stage with the Specialist’s Championship held in her hand. As she made it to the center of the stage, she raised the gold up for the EAW Universe to behold! With the gold proudly and prominently displayed, she made her way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: AND HIS OPPONENT! Hailing from Dunkirk, France, weighing in at 170 pounds… she is THE EAW SPECIALIST’S CHAMPION… THE BLACK FLAME, DANIELLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! AAAAAAAAAAATLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!
Stew-O: Here comes the Black Flame herself; you can see as she makes her way down the ramp that both champions have already locked eyes as they both size each other up!
Flannery McCoy: Despite her dubious loss last week to Drake Armstrong, you can’t deny that both champions are marching into this match from a place of power! With successful defenses for both at House of Glass, the idea of one of them going on to dethrone the World Heavyweight Champion this early into their careers must have them salivating at the mouth!
Jake Mercer: You know both BRAE and Daniella Atlas are never shy to admit their ambitions, and they both want to be on top! One way or another, there will be at least one champion heading into the Extreme Elimination Chamber!
Stew-O: In this match, there can ONLY be one! Who is going to stamp their ticket to the chamber? It’s time to find out!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: And the match is underway! Both wrestlers burst out of their respective corners with an intense stride to their step, and who can blame them? They may be on the precipice of destiny tonight; if they win tonight and bring enough force to overcome all the obstacles at Road to Redemption, they can turn themselves into a legend overnight!
Flannery McCoy: There’s no games being played tonight, and that much is clear on both of their faces as their eyes narrow with concentration! Both wrestlers raise their arms up as they prepare to engage…
Jake Mercer: And engage they do! Closed fist punches being thrown left and right as two of the most intense wrestlers of the new generation are bringing the heat! It’s not often we see it, but you’ve got to keep in mind that this match very well may end in a straight up knock out if one of the punches land hard enough against the jaw!
Stew-O: Daniella Atlas throws a haymaker towards the jaw of BRAE, almost as though she heard you say that, but BRAE is able to duck underneath and evade the blow! Not only that, but he pops right back up and launches a back elbow that manages to clip the back of Daniella Atlas’ head!
Flannery McCoy: The back of the head is a place you never want to get hit too hard, and even the mighty Daniella Atlas had to stumble forward when that landed; that was enough to give BRAE an opportunity, and you just know he’s going to capitalize on them whenever they show up!
Jake Mercer: Lord BRAE immediately turns around and springs forward to get swing his arm around the shoulders of Daniella; he’s not going for a lariat to the back of the head, though, instead intertwining his leg with Daniella’s before leaning forward and launching himself back with a Russian leg sweep!
Stew-O: On cue, Daniella Atlas is sent down to the canvas with the back of her head colliding with the hard surface; it looks like BRAE has taken the early lead in this match with the Specialist’s Champion on the canvas!
Flannery McCoy: BRAE looks to the side to see his opponent laid out, and he immediately proceeds to roll her onto her abdomen before scrambling back to his feet! He clenches his fist and- IS HE ABOUT TO GO FOR RED DEATH ALREADY?! HE’S AIMING FOR RED DEATH, HIS DREADED H-BOMB–
Jake Mercer: But Daniella Atlas has far too much left in the tank to stay in position as she rolls away and scrambles to her feet herself! BRAE was barely able to stop himself from lunging forward; if he did, his forearm would’ve crashed right into the mat with nothing to cushion the fall!
Stew-O: He immediately readjusts himself as he makes chase and looks to launch Daniella Atlas into the nearby corner with a thrust kick– but the Specialist’s Champion is able to side step the attack! This time, BRAE wasn’t able to stop his own momentum and he’s sent stumbling forward before crashing into the corner!
Flannery McCoy: When BRAE does hit, he hits harder than most; the issue comes when someone is able to get out of the way in time and the intensity he brings turns into a weapon against him! Now the New Breed Champion is chest-first against the turnbuckles in the corner, and the Specialist’s Champion looks to capitalize on his vulnerability!
Jake Mercer: She rushes in and spins at the last moment, unleashing a vicious spinning back elbow to the back of Lord BRAE’s head! That may be revenge for how BRAE was able to take the reins of the match in the first place, but she’s not stopping there! That blow was enough to stun the New Breed Champion, and Daniella Atlas follows up by forcefully turning him around to set him up with his back to the turnbuckles and facing her!
Stew-O: She licks the back of her hand before–
(BANG!)
Flannery McCoy: :damn:
Jake Mercer: Knife-edge chops being unleashed against the chest of the New Breed Champion! We say that chops sound like gunshots every now and then, but I think Flannery almost had a heart attack when that sound came through!
Stew-O: She’s not stopping either as she begins unleashing knife-edge chops again and again, almost as though she’s looking to chop the SKIN off of the chest of the New Breed Champion!
Flannery McCoy: Deep breaths… deep breaths… looking to stop before she gasses herself out, Daniella switches it up by grabbing BRAE by the wrist and performing an Irish whip to the opposite corner of the ring!
Jake Mercer: Lord BRAE is sent running across before getting to the other corner– but he collided so hard that he flipped over the turnbuckle and barely landed on his feet on top of the apron of the ring! He shakes his head as he gathers his bearings–
Stew-O: But Daniella Atlas doesn’t have any inclination of giving Lord BRAE a moment of respite! She immediately rushes over to the corner– but the New Breed Champion sees her coming and looks to take her head off with a vicious lariat with his arm swinging over the top rope!
Flannery McCoy: The Specialist’s Champion is able to come to a screeching halt at the very last moment and ducking her head to prevent herself from getting struck; not only that, but from her ducked position, she launches a straight up UPPERCUT from beneath the top rope, and it hits its mark when it crashes against the bottom of the New Breed Champion’s jaw!
Jake Mercer: BRAE is launched back from the force of the uppercut as he falls from the apron and lands on his back at the ringside floor! That floor has much less cushion than the ring itself, a fall from the apron had to knock the wind out of him! Daniella Atlas has a self-satisfied smirk on her face as she sees the results of her handiwork!
Stew-O: But this isn’t over until the match is won, and so she steps out onto the apron from between the top and middle ropes; she finds herself looking down at the fallen body of the New Breed Champion from a much more elevated position atop the apron!
Flannery McCoy: She steadies herself as she takes aim below; in a situation like this with how high the stakes are, it makes sense that a wrestler as daring and intense as Daniella Atlas would want to go high risk high reward! You either go big or you go home!
Jake Mercer: As soon as she has herself perfectly set up, she LEAPS off the apron and angles herself to the side as she unleashes a DIVING SENTON ONTO THE NEW BREED CHAMPION!
Stew-O: WAIT! LORD BRAE ROLLS TO THE SIDE AT THE NICK OF TIME–
(CRASH!)
Stew-O: DANIELLA ATLAS JUST CRASHED DOWN ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR! LORD BRAE MANAGED TO GET AWAY, SHE JUST HIT THAT DIVING SENTON WITH NOTHING BUT HARD FLOOR UNDERNEATH HER!
Flannery McCoy: One look at the agonized expression on her face says it all, that DEFINITELY took the breath out of her lungs! She arches her back as she writhes on the ringside floor in pain, meanwhile Lord BRAE is on his hands and knees as he tries to use the steel steps to stagger back to the canvas!
Jake Mercer: Both champions have been pretty much evenly matched so far, even to the point of them both taking similar plunges down to the ringside floor! Lord BRAE has had marginally more time to recuperate after his own plunge to the ringside floor, so he’s starting to get up before the Specialist’s Champion!
Stew-O: And stagger up he does as Daniella Atlas is still on her hands and knees while forcing herself to get back to her feet! BRAE makes his way around Daniella’s body before stopping in front of her; she claws at him as she tries to use his body to get up, but he catches her arm and pulls it into a single underhook!
Flannery McCoy: He reaches down and underhooks the other arm too, completing a full double underhook and using it to bring Daniella to her feet! He’s definitely not doing her a favor from this position, though, as he clenches tight before throwing her overhead with a classic butterfly suplex to send her crashing onto the ringside floor once again!
Jake Mercer: With that, Lord BRAE takes the lead back as he walks over to the site of impact with the Specialist’s Champion in a bad position here! He reaches down and grabs her by the hair to force her back to her feet and rolls her back into the ring from underneath the bottom rope!
Stew-O: He follows her in as he staggers onto the apron and steps inside, before immediately slinking down and pushing her away from the ropes! He hooks her leg and goes for the pin off the brutal damage that’s been inflicted on the Specialist’s Champion thus far!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Flannery McCoy: But the Black Flame isn’t going down! This woman is made out of steel, because no matter how much is thrown at her, it never seems to be enough! BRAE looks frustrated as he staggers up to his feet and drags the Specialist’s Champion up alongside him!
Jake Mercer: He grabs her wrist and performs an Irish whip, sending her into the ropes! She rebounds off of them and runs towards Lord BRAE, who waits her and unleashes a discus clothesline as he looks to try to knock her out right here and now!
Stew-O: But Daniella Atlas is able to duck underneath and continue running to the other ropes, which she rebounds off of and starts picking up even more speed! He starts a spin as he tries for the discus clothesline again, but I think he underestimated the velocity with which Daniella was approach as she’s able to launch herself off the canvas and collide with him using a spinning heel kick before he can even get his arm fully up!
Flannery McCoy: It looks like that failed pin attempt was actually helping Daniella get a moment to recuperate without taking more damage, and now she’s back to bringing the heat to the New Breed Champion! Lord BRAE is knocked down as the Specialist’s Champion palms the hair off of her face before looking down at her fellow champion.
Jake Mercer: No mercy in those eyes, that’s for sure! She begins unleashing hellfire on Lord BRAE with a monstrous barrage of stomps raining down from on high! From his face to his midsection to his limbs, she’s stomping him with reckless abandon as the furious striker looks to take BRAE apart the old fashioned way!
Stew-O: She’s not finished yet, though, as she reaches down and grabs him by the head as she slowly forces him to his feet; as soon as she has him where she wants him, she begins battering him with forearm smashes with his head clutched firmly in place to prevent him from being able to duck and weave!
Flannery McCoy: She finishes the flurry of attacks with a thunderous elbow smash to the side of BRAE’s head, forcing him to turn around and almost fall to the canvas before Daniella Atlas catches him from behind! She clutches his wrist against his abdomen before spinning him forward and using the clutched wrist to yank him towards her!
Jake Mercer: And with that, she leaps off the canvas and unleashes a RIPCORD DROPKICK! That’s a very rare move you don’t see with almost any other wrestlers, and it’s enough to bring BRAE to the canvas with a thud! The way Daniella Atlas fell made it so she landed on top of BRAE with his shoulders pinned to the mat, leading the referee to slide onto the canvas himself and begin the count!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Stew-O: But it isn’t enough to put him down either! Both of these fighting champions have given it their all thus far, but neither of them are willing to lay down for the other to get the win! They both want the shot at the World Heavyweight Championship with every fiber of their being; I don’t even know how this match CAN end other than one or both of them being forcefully hospitalized!
Flannery McCoy: Daniella is starting to look tired after unleashing all of that force; the double edged sword when it comes to her striking game is that while it’s repeatable and effective, it’s definitely going to gas her out a lot more compared to standard grappling! She drags BRAE up to his feet with his wrist clutched… what’s she got planned here?
Jake Mercer: Once again, she has that wrist clutched against his abdomen; it looks like she’s going for yet another ripcord maneuver! She spins him out and yanks him towards her– SHE LAUNCHES THE ARM, LOOKING TO HIT HIM WITH HER SIGNATURE INAMORATA!
Stew-O: BUT BRAE IS ABLE TO DUCK UNDERNEATH AND RUN PAST HER! From his position in the ring, though, he had barely any space to run before making it to the ropes, all he could do was turn around at the last moment to rebound back towards Daniella!
Flannery McCoy: Not enough space to attack with an arm or a leg, so he does the only thing he can do! A MASSIVE HEADBUTT FROM LORD BRAE TO DANIELLA!
Jake Mercer: That could not have felt good for EITHER of them! That knocked them both loopy! Lord BRAE stumbles back against the ropes while Daniella is barely able to stay standing as she staggers back and doubles over in pain!
Stew-O: I see some blood trickling from her forehead and dropping onto the canvas… same with BRAE! That headbutt did a NUMBER on both of them! The referee checks on BRAE before turning around to check on Daniella as well, making sure they’re still able to continue the match and not afflicted by a concussion!
Flannery McCoy: Does anyone hear the crowd getting louder? What’s going on? Wait– is that?!
Jake Mercer: Someone’s running down the ramp! IT’S MIA SANTORO! She scrambles onto the apron unseen by BRAE and the referee who both have their backs to her, but Daniella sees her! Before she can say anything, Mia gives BRAE a thrust kick to the back, launching him forward and crashing into the referee!
Stew-O: Mia quickly makes her way into the ring! Daniella runs at her and goes for INAMORATA– BUT IT WASN’T QUICK ENOUGH AS MIA IS ABLE TO DUCK UNDERNEATH IT! THIS ISN’T FAIR, DANIELLA’S BEEN THROUGH A TOUGH FIGHT WHILE MIA IS FRESH AS CAN BE!
Flannery McCoy: I DON’T THINK MIA IS CARING ABOUT FAIRNESS RIGHT NOW AS SHE SPINS AROUND DANIELLA AND HOISTS HER UP WITH A GUTWRENCH!
Jake Mercer: GUTWRENCH BACKSTABBER! THAT’S MIA SANTORO’S ‘SAFE PASSAGE’, HER FINISHING MANEUVER!
Stew-O: THIS IS A SHAM! MIA SANTORO SLIDES OUT OF THE RING WITH DANIELLA ATLAS LAID OUT AND THE REFEREE COMING TO, NONE THE WISER!
Flannery McCoy: BRAE didn’t see her either after getting knocked into the referee; he shakes his head and looks around but sees nobody as Mia has scrambled down to ringside unseen! He narrows his eyes at the fallen Daniella Atlas and his body springs forward as if driven by instinct!
Jake Mercer: RED DEAAAAAAAAATH! RED DEAAAAAAAAAATH! THE H-BOMB CONNECTS TO THE BACK OF DANIELLA’S HEAD! HE TURNS HER OVER AND HOOKS HER LEG AS THE REFEREE MANAGES TO DRAG HIMSELF OVER AND COUNTS IT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(Star Wars: Duel of The Fates | EPIC VERSION (Remastered V2) by Samuel Kim Music began blaring through the speakers once again to a huge reaction leaning on boos as the crowd can’t decide whether to cheer for BRAE’s victory or to boo Mia Santoro’s unseen involvement! BRAE raises his arms all the same in triumph as he staggers up to his feet!)
Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, HERE IS YOUR WINNER AND MOVING ON TO THE EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER… LOOOOOOOOORD! BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Stew-O: Needless to say, this was theft by Mia Santoro! We don’t know who would’ve came out on top between the two of them as they seemed to be evenly matched, but Mia Santoro robbed the EAW Universe of seeing that result play out by interfering! What’s her problem?!
Flannery McCoy: With how she and Daniella Atlas locked eyes, it looks like Mia Santoro didn’t want Daniella to fight in the Extreme Elimination Chamber at Road to Redemption!
Jake Mercer: She must be aiming for her now! Mia peeks her head over the edge of the apron with a sly smirk as she gives Daniella Atlas a wave. Now that’s petty!
Stew-O: No matter how it was accomplished, the New Breed Champion is now guaranteed a spot in the chamber! Joso definitely has his work cut out for him, that’s for sure!
(The video feed lingered on BRAE celebrating on the corner while Daniella slowly regained consciousness, blinking her eyes as she clutched the back of her head in pain, a furious scowl present on her face as she did so. The video feed fades elsewhere.)
(Friday Night Dynasty returns to show the backstage area of the Barclays Center, as in the hallway, a figure is seen pacing back and forth. The camera pans up as it’s revealed to be none other than Vincent Mondrian, who bears a serious expression on his face as he looks over at the camera that’s facing him. It’s not long before he then begins to speak from there.)
Vincent Mondrian: Lately I’ve been in a rut, I can’t deny that. If things went the way that I expected to, it would’ve panned out a lot differently as I stand here right now, but it hasn’t. I’ve had some losses that I didn’t want to take from the likes of Holly Arrow and has that affected my psyche? Perhaps, but if anything the one thing that it’s done is fuel me further. It’s pushed me beyond belief to make sure that losses like those do not define me or keep me down. So many people would be deterred by this, allow it to get the better of them, and ultimately call it quits when they have so much potential backing them. But that’s not me, I refuse to be that type of person. I’ve been in this position before in my career, where I feel like all hope is lost, but the fact that I am still here, standing on my own two feet, just goes to show that I refuse to stay down for good. No matter what this company decides to put me through.
Vincent Mondrian: I’ve been a part of Friday Night Dynasty for all of my EAW career and all of 2024, and it’s time to really make something out of it. Through the ups and downs, one thing that I’ve learned is that every day is another opportunity to leave a mark, and I’m going to leave that mark sooner rather than later. I know that luck hasn’t been on my side, but just because that’s the case I’m not going to give up. I’m not just going to lay down and fade away to obscurity because that’s what they would’ve wanted me to do. In fact, what I’m going to do is shoot for an even bigger shot, something that would take my career to the next level and something that would raise my stock even further.
(Vincent has a determined look on his face as he pauses for suspense before going on.)
Vincent Mondrian: This is why I’m throwing out a challenge to Hans Grayson for a match at Super Dynasty with the Interwire Championship on the line.
(The crowd cheers at this inside of the arena as Vincent nods his head, particularly invested in what this opportunity would be able to do for him. But before he can say anything else, he’s interrupted by a voice in the background.)
???: I hope you don’t mind me chiming in…
(The camera goes over to show Corey Hale who makes his way into the scene. Vincent doesn’t look particularly happy at the fact that he’s being interrupted right now, but Corey seems like he doesn’t mean any harm. It’s not long before he begins to speak himself.)
Corey Hale: I’ve seen what you had to do, Vincent, and I can’t help but be impressed. You’re someone who has been here for quite some time as you said and you’ve worked yourself to the bone in order to be in this position. While many people might not be able to stand here and respect that, that’s something that I can respect. Something tells me that you’re going to make a huge impact sooner rather than later and that is something that I am very excited to see.
Vincent Mondrian: What’s your point?
Corey Hale: The point is that you inspired me, Vincent. You inspired me to do exactly what you just did and call my own shot. Let me make one thing clear, there has been an influx of talent coming into this company. A whole new crop of stars could very well shape the future of this brand as we know it, and I don’t want to toot my horn, but I’d like to believe that I’m at the forefront of it. I might be in over my head only having debuted just a few weeks ago, but I can’t lie, I’m feeling very confident, and better yet, I know exactly what I’m capable of. So while you’re going to face Hans Grayson at Super Dynasty, I think I’m going to get my own pound of flesh.
(Corey thinks about what he’s going to say for a moment before he then continues on from there.)
Corey Hale: I’m challenging BRAE for the New Breed Championship at Super Dynasty!
(The crowd inside of the arena once again begins to cheer for this as Vincent looks amused by this, nodding his head and taking a moment before he begins to speak.)
Vincent Mondrian: I’m amused by this, Corey, I respect it a lot that you decide to take after me. As long as you don’t get in my way, I have absolutely no problem with that.
Corey Hale: I have no intentions to, I have my own goals just as well as you do. I wish you nothing but the best in your endeavors of going after the Interwire Championship, and I’ll do my own thing to make sure that I’m called the New Breed Champion once it’s all said and done. Who knows, we might cross paths sooner rather than later.
(Corey smiles as he nods his head before then turning around and beginning to make his way out of the scene from there. Vincent takes a moment to think about what he had to say, before cracking his knuckles and continuing to pace around in place in the hallway. After the interaction, the last shot seen is Vincent Mondrian having a determined expression on his face after staking his claim before Friday Night Dynasty, from there, begins to fade to elsewhere.)
Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FOLLOWING IS A SINGLES MATCH SET FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Stephie Love: AND IT IS TO DETERMINE AN ENTRANT FOR THE EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER!
(‘Ghost Myself’ by DIAMANTE began blaring through the speakers to loud cheers as the ‘Fire’ in Fire and Ice, Raven Roberts, made her way out onto the stage with the ‘Ice’, Rex McAllister, flanking her to her right! Raven Roberts spreads her arms out wide in her signature pose on the stage before marching she and Rex march their way down the ramp, with Rex staying at ringside to give Raven the ring to herself.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST! Hailing from Louisville, Kentucky, weighing in at 122 pounds… SHE IS THE BIRD OF PREY… RRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN! RRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERTS!
Stew-O: Here we have our SECOND extreme elimination chamber qualifying match of the night! We saw earlier on as Mia Santoro costed Daniella Atlas the match, leading to the New Breed Champion, Lord BRAE, being the champion to enter the Extreme Elimination Chamber for Joso’s World Heavyweight Championship!
Flannery McCoy: While I’m sure that match will have its own fallout, we have an intense matchup of our own right here; the current EAW Interwire Champion, Hans Grayson, will be going against a former world champion in the form of the woman you see in the ring right now, Raven Roberts!
Jake Mercer: Raven Roberts, alongside her husband and tag team partner, Rex McAllister, have both been on a roll themselves! They picked up a big win together against #Vachina at House of Glass, solidifying themselves as one of EAW’s premier tag teams, as though there was any doubt to begin with.
Stew-O: Their momentum is riding high after the main event of last week as well, with Rex McAllister picking up a win one way or another over none other than Drake King! I’m sure Raven would love nothing more than to capitalize on this momentum by punching her ticket to the Extreme Elimination Chamber and competing to become a world champion yet again in her historic career! I’m sure her opponent isn’t willing to budge, though…
(‘The Leaving Song Pt. II’ – AFI began playing to massive cheers as the EAW Interwire Champion, Hans Grayson, made his way out onto the stage with a wide grin on his face! He unstrapped the Interwire Championship around his waist and raised it up into the air for all to behold, also to loud cheers! With the gold in hand, he made his way down the ramp with a nod to Rex at ringside before making his way into the ring to come face to face with his opponent.)
Stephie Love: AND HER OPPONENT! Hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, weighing in at 219 pounds… he is THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION! ‘THE FIRE HEART’… HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANS! GRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!
Stew-O: Here’s the Interwire Champion himself! We saw him last week as he announced his intentions to enter the Extreme Elimination Chamber at Road to Redemption, but also to defend his own title as well! You’ve got to hand it to him, he’s been nothing but a fighting champion since the day he took the gold, and he’s living up to that week after week!
Flannery McCoy: With how impressive both Raven Roberts and Hans Grayson have been as of late, it’s as tough a match to call as the qualifying match we had earlier tonight! I have no idea which one of these two wrestlers will be able to make it into the chamber!
Jake Mercer: GOOOOO GRAYSON! WOOOOOOOOOO!
Stew-O: We know who Jake is rooting for, at least. Which one of these two will challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship? It’s time to find out!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: And the match is underway! Hans Grayson and Raven Roberts step out of their corners with a fast pace and begin circling the ring! The Lionheart looks on from ringside as he cheers on his wife to move on to the Extreme Elimination Chamber, but the Fire Heart looks determined as ever to make sure that it’ll be his name alongside Joso and Lord BRAE!
Flannery McCoy: It’s a stylistic clash here with the primarily technical and grappling focused Raven Roberts against the high-flying and acrobatic striker in the form of Hans Grayson! The Fire Heart is doing what he can to avoid getting caught up in a lock up by Raven Roberts as he keeps his distance and tries to find the right moment to seize the first strike of the match!
Jake Mercer: Raven Roberts is getting increasingly aggressive with her pace; her arms are held up as she looks to catch Hans, but neither of them are willing to give an inch!
Stew-O: But it looks like Hans Grayson will be the one to try to go for the first move as he bounces off his back foot and lunges at Raven before twisting his body around to unleash a roundhouse kick! He’s looking to take Raven’s head off right off the bat–
Flannery McCoy: But Raven Roberts was a step ahead as she managed to duck underneath and catch Grayson’s leg before it could get back to the canvas! Hans is off balance as Raven uses the leg to spin him around and trap him in a collar and elbow tie up!
Jake Mercer: She’s putting that veteran experience to good use as she moves this match into a situation that she’s more comfortable with! She transitions the collar and elbow tie up into a Muay Thai clutch, keeping Grayson’s head trapped in a precarious situation and capitalizing with some hard-hitting knee lifts to the exposed face of the Interwire Champion!
Stew-O: Hans is in her trap as she expertly transitions the Muay Thai clutch into a judo throw, bringing the Interwire Champion to the canvas! We don’t always see the Fire Heart getting worked like this, but if anyone would be capable of doing it, it’s the powerful and experienced Raven Roberts!
Flannery McCoy: With Hans Grayson with his back against the canvas, Raven Roberts is able to transition into a mounted position and brings the heat to the Fire Heart with a flurry of mounted punches! Hans Grayson does what he can to block as many of the punches as he can, but Raven Roberts’ intensity is quite difficult to defend against!
Jake Mercer: COME ON HANS, YOU GOT THIS! OH, it looks like he heard me because he was just able to tuck his legs underneath the body of Raven Roberts before launching her overhead with a monkey flip, sending her flipping overhead before landing on her back!
Stew-O: The Interwire Champion has his head clutched as he scrambles back to his head, doing his best to shake off the early onslaught that Raven Roberts managed to bring him! Meanwhile, Raven is getting up too at a slightly slower pace after being caught off guard with that monkey flip!
Flannery McCoy: With Hans Grayson able to get up to his feet before Raven Roberts, he capitalizes on the opportunity by rushing to Raven Roberts the moment she makes it back to her feet, catching her with a tackle that launches her back-first into the nearby corner!
Jake Mercer: This is the type of situation where Hans Grayson thrives; with Raven Roberts cornered like this, she’ll have nowhere to go as the Interwire Champion begins unleashing some FIRE of his own! :mjgrin:
Stew-O: Bad joke aside, Hans DOES bring the fire as he grabs the top rope with his left hand and uses it for stability as he begins going off against Raven Roberts with a barrage of corner lariats! Raven is having difficulty defending against the heavy strikes being lobbed by Hans, but the Fire Heart isn’t done there!
Flannery McCoy: He switches gears, keeping the intensity as high as he wanted it but swapping out the corner lariats to begin unleashing knife-edge chops against the Bird of Prey! As much as those lariats would make your head ring, Grayson’s knife-edge chops bring that stinging pain to the chest of the Huntress!
Jake Mercer: MORE OF THEM! TAKE HER DOWN, CHAMP!
Stew-O: I feel like most wrestlers would be gassed by the amount of rapid-fire offense being unleashed by the Interwire Champion here, but Hans Grayson differentiates himself from most wrestlers through the sheer level of cardio he brings to the table! The Fire Heart’s heart is pumping but he’s able to keep it up as he grabs the wrist of the Bird of Prey before executing an Irish whip to send her running into the opposite corner!
Flannery McCoy: And Hans immediately looks to follow it up as he sprints after her, leaping towards her the moment he got within range and looking to knock her silly with a jumping high knee! But Raven Roberts is able to get out of the way at the very last moment, leading to the Fire Heart crashing knee-first into the top turnbuckle!
Jake Mercer: NOOOOOO!
Stew-O: The Interwire Champion stumbles back favoring the opposite leg as he holds the knee that just got damaged, but Raven Roberts is in no mood to let him recover! Without a moment of hesitation, she leaps onto the middle rope and springs off of it before spinning in mid air to give Hans Grayson a heavy springboard roundhouse kick!
Flannery McCoy: That was enough to bring the Interwire Champion down to a kneel; he almost falls down onto the canvas, but Raven Roberts doesn’t let him as she rushes over and drags him back to his feet! She’s definitely not just helping him to his feet, though, as she immediately applies a front waist lock!
Jake Mercer: With the Fire Heart right where she wants him, Raven Roberts arches herself back, throwing Hans Grayson overhead with a perfectly executed northern lights suplex! She doesn’t let go, though! SHE BRIDGES IT, LOOKING FOR A PIN TO PUNCH HER TICKET FOR THE EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER! DOES SHE HAVE IT?!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TW-
Stew-O: BUT HANS GRAYSON IS ABLE TO KICK OUT OF IT! Raven Roberts gives a little scoff as she shakes her head, not looking to give up here! She grabs Hans Grayson by the head and slowly starts dragging him up to his feet; the moment he’s on both feet, she looks to go for yet another suplex, this time grabbing hold of the leg that crashed into the turnbuckle!
Flannery McCoy: She’s going for that T-Bone Suplex against the Fire Heart! But Hans Grayson is able to execute a side elbow smash to the temple of the Bird of Prey before she’s able to execute it! That stalls Raven for long enough to allow Hans to unleash a few more of those elbows, ultimately forcing the Bird of Prey to let go of the Interwire Champion!
Jake Mercer: Hans Grayson unleashes one last elbow smash, angled differently this time in order to forcefully turn Raven Roberts around and keep her dazed at the same time! With Raven’s back to him, Hans Grayson immediately applies a full nelson hold; with the Bird of Prey in his grasp, Hans launches her back with a snap dragon suplex!
Stew-O: This match has been really back and forth thus far, with both wrestlers snatching the reins of momentum back and forth, but right now the reins are firmly in Hans Grayson’s hands as he looks to put Raven Roberts down and challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship!
Flannery McCoy: Raven Roberts has rolled back onto her back, and Hans Grayson sees opportunity as he staggers back to his feet! He turns his back to the fallen body of the Bird of Prey, making sure he’s steady before leaping up into the air and performing a backflip in mid-air to land on Raven with a standing moonsault!
Jake Mercer: And the Interwire Champion goes for the pin off of that perfectly executed maneuver, hooking her leg for the win! DOES HE HAVE IT?!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Stew-O: But it’s not enough as Raven Roberts is able to kick out at the two count! Hans Grayson doesn’t lose focus, though, as he gets up just as the shoulder gets up and does his best to keep his cool in the face of a determined Raven Roberts! He gives her a few stomps to force her to turn onto her abdomen, before he makes his way down to a kneel! What’s he got planned here?
Flannery McCoy: And from that position, he begins going at her with a flurry of grounded knee smashes to the ribcage of the Bird of Prey! Those attacks have got to hurt deep inside the core of the Huntress, but she’s unable to fight back as she’s still recovering from that massive dragon suplex that Hans unleashed on her!
Jake Mercer: Hans Grayson makes it to his feet with Raven mostly incapacitated; after making sure she’s thoroughly dazed, Hans turns his eyes to the corner as he makes his way over to it and begins scaling the ropes to his perch at the top! As Raven Roberts has her ribs clutched in pain and tries to make it back to her feet, Hans Grayson is able to reach the top rope!
Stew-O: Raven makes it back to her feet, but it’s too late for her as Hans Grayson launches himself at her with a top rope crossbody! IT LANDS, with Raven Roberts crashing into the canva- wait a second, what?! SHE ROLLED THROUGH IT! SHE’S ON TOP OF HANS AND HOOKS BOTH LEGS WITH A SUDDEN PIN!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Flannery McCoy: But Hans Grayson is able to kick out at nearly the last moment, almost having lost his opportunity for the Extreme Elimination Chamber after that very sudden pin attempt by the unpredictable Raven Roberts! He’s left shaken by how close he was to losing his opportunity, and the Huntress forcefully staggers to her feet as quickly as she can before unleashing a SPINNING HEEL KICK TO THE FACE OF THE KNEELING INTERWIRE CHAMPION! THAT’S HER SIGNATURE FACELIFT MANEUVER, AND IT KNOCKS HANS BACK TO THE CANVAS!
Jake Mercer: OH NO, SHE’S GOING FOR THE PIN YET AGAIN, THIS TIME IT MIGHT BE TOO MUCH!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Stew-O: BUT HANS GRAYSON IS ABLE TO GET OUT AT THE VERY LAST MOMENT! RAVEN ROBERTS IS THROWING EVERYTHING SHE HAS AT THE FIRE HEART, DOING WHAT SHE CAN TO PUT THIS CHAMPION DOWN FOR THE COUNT! BUT HANS GRAYSON IS NOT WILLING TO STAY DOWN!
Flannery McCoy: That temper of Raven’s is starting to take over as she slaps the mat in fury! She doesn’t know how much more Hans Grayson has in him, but with her anger sparked, she’s wanting to knock Hans Grayson out cold! She immediately mounts him and throws a punch with everything she has, but Grayson is able to barely catch the punch before it landed on his jaw! They struggle against each other, wriggling in an attempt to gain leverage, before they move close enough to the rope for Hans to grab it!
Jake Mercer: Raven is forced to give Hans space, and that may have been it for Grayson if he wasn’t able to use his environment to his advantage to get the rope in his hand! Raven Roberts is breathing heavily as she rises to her feet with Hans Grayson in her sights; she’s ready to put him down, and she’s ready to do whatever it takes to make sure it happens!
Stew-O: That look in the fiery eyes of the Bird of Prey sure is something nobody wants to be on the wrong end of, but Grayson is right there! Raven Roberts is measuring Hans Grayson up as he uses the ropes to stagger his way back up to his feet, slowly but surely! The moment Hans is back on his feet and stumbles forward away from the ropes, Raven Roberts breaks into a sprint as she makes her way towards the Fire Heart!
Flannery McCoy: SHE’S GOING FOR TALON, HER FINISHING MANEUVER! WITH BREAKNECK SPEED, SHE LAUNCHES HERSELF OFF THE CANVAS WITH HER BOOT AIMED FOR THE FACE OF GRAYSON!
Jake Mercer: OH MY GOD! HANS GRAYSON JUST LEAPT HIGHER THAN I’VE EVER SEEN ANYBODY LEAP, THE SHEER VERTICAL WAS ENOUGH TO AVOID RAVEN’S TALON!
Stew-O: NOT JUST AVOID IT! RAVEN ROBERTS LANDED BENEATH HIM AFTER HAVING HIT NOTHING WITH TALON, AND HANS GRAYSON CRASHED DOWN ON HER WITH AN INADVERTENT DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE MIDSECTION! THE FIRE HEART’S ENTIRE BODY WEIGHT CAME CRASHING DOWN ONTO THE MIDSECTION OF THE BIRD OF PREY!
Flannery McCoy: You can see Rex McAllister at ringside grip the apron with tension as Hans Grayson crawls his way over to try to put his arm over her for the pin! But Hans Grayson suddenly stops before doing so! Breathing heavily, he looks past Raven to the corner, and instead staggers back to his feet!
Jake Mercer: HE’S GOING HIGH RISK HIGH REWARD! HE BEGINS SCALING TO THE TOP ROPE AS RAVEN ROBERTS IS ALMOST MOTIONLESS! SHE’S STIRRING, BUT WILL SHE BE ABLE TO AVOID WHATEVER HANS GRAYSON IS PLANNING HERE?!
Stew-O: HANS GRAYSON IS UP ON THE TOP ROPE! RAVEN ROBERTS IS MOVING AS SHE TRIES TO GET OUT OF THE WAY! BUT HANS GRAYSON LAUNCHES HIMSELF OFF THE TOP ROPE AS FAST AS HE CAN! HE’S GOING FOR THE GRAYSON SPLASH– BUT RAVEN ROBERTS MADE IT TO HER FEET, IT CAN’T LAND! WAIT, WHAT?! WHAT?!
Flannery McCoy: OH MY GOD! HE TRANSITIONED THE 450 SPLASH INTO A LARIAT TO BE ABLE TO HIT RAVEN AFTER SHE GOT BACK TO HER FEET! THAT’S THE BURNING SHOT PILLAR, ONE OF GRAYSON’S NEWER FINISHING MANEUVERS THAT HE RARELY EVER BRINGS OUT! WITH THE STAKES AS HIGH AS THEY ARE, HE UNLEASHED IT AND MANAGED TO HIT IT! HE HOOKS THE LEG, GOING FOR THE PIN! DOES HE HAVE IT?!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(‘The Leaving Song Pt. II’ – AFI began playing to massive cheers once again as Hans Grayson is helped to his feet by the referee and has his arm raised in victorious triumph!)
Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! YOUR WINNER, AND HEADING TO THE EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER… HE IS THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION, THE FIRE HEART… HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANS! GRAAAAAAAAAAYSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!
Stew-O: What an INTENSE bout by both the Interwire Champion and the Bird of Prey! This match was truly back and forth throughout, and Hans Grayson had to pull out EVERYTHING he had to be able to put down the former world champion!
Flannery McCoy: Rex McAllister looks saddened, but ultimately, there has to be some respect there as Hans Grayson took this win by the skin of his teeth! Both wrestlers knew what was on the line and did everything they could to be able to do it, but at the end of the day, it’s Hans Grayson making his way to the Extreme Elimination Chamber!
Jake Mercer: YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
(The video feed lingers on Hans Grayson celebrating his victory while Rex McAllister helps Raven out of the ring; the video feed slowly fades elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for Hot Pockets.)
(Friday Night Dynasty returns to a shot of the arena as the crowd is waiting in anticipation for what’s to come tonight. It’s not long before ‘Sinister Purpose’ by Creedence Clearwater Revival begins to play through the speakers. The crowd responds with a mix of cheers and boos as the camera goes over to a very serious Kirk Redwood as he is seen making his way out from the backstage area and toward the stage. He has casual attire on as it’s clear he has something on his mind, with it not being long before he makes his way down the ramp and to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… ‘UNKILLABLE’… KIRK REDWOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Well we haven’t seen Kirk Redwood in quite some time. These past couple of weeks have been exciting for the Dynasty brand, especially coming hot off the heels of the House of Glass Marquee Event, we head straight to Road To Redemption and naturally, people will feel a certain way if they’re left out of it. I’m certain that Kirk is making his way out here tonight to get himself involved in all of the festivities.
Flannery McCoy: There are a lot of avenues that he could go down with this, but all we know for sure right now is that he has something on his mind and he looks to give his thoughts. Perhaps looking to get his career here on Friday Night Dynasty back on track. We’ll just have to see for certain once he gets on the mic.
Jake Mercer: Us Graysonites know the true reason why Kirk Redwood hasn’t been seen, he tried to disrespect the Fireheart! That is absolutely something that we cannot stand for, so naturally, our Interwire Champion put in the notice!
(Kirk makes his way up the steps and onto the apron as he enters into the ring. He then heads over and grabs a microphone from the ringside area while ‘Sinister Purpose’, from there, begins to come to a close. Then, making his way toward the center of the ring, he wastes absolutely no time beginning to speak to the fans in attendance.)
Kirk Redwood: It might be a shocker to see me out here tonight, but these past couple of weeks I’ve had something festering in my mind that I’ve been waiting to say to the world. I’ve noticed a lot of people have been self-reflecting tonight, doing whatever they can to get involved on this brand and put themselves into contention for big opportunities, calling their shots as you would call it, and consider me included in all of them. Just like them, I’m looking to end this year with a bang, going into Road To Redemption with as much momentum as possible, which is something that I promise I will do. The circumstances surrounding this situation though are less than favorable, because if I had the choice I would go about things much differently. Despite my loss, I still have a bone to pick with Hans Grayson and the Interwire Championship, and I made a promise to myself that this wouldn’t be the last time and the next time I would have that title around my waist. But someone got there before me.
Kirk Redwood: Am I annoyed that Vincent Mondrian put himself in the front of the line? Yes, absolutely. I know that my time is coming sooner rather than later, and I know that I’m Interwire Championship-worthy. So to have that taken away from me is something that I definitely did not want. But regardless I know that I have to make the best of this. I can’t be unsettled and disgruntled by this knowing that there’s nothing that I can do, the only thing that I can do right now is bide my time. Wait for the right time and strike when the iron is hot, and believe me, when the time comes for that to happen, I am going to get everything that I ever wanted. I know it’s hard to believe that someone like myself, who is at this position in their career, is going to be able to defy the odds and come out on top like how I’m promising, but I’m assuring you that is the case. I have learned from my mistakes, and although my loss against Hans hit hard, what hit harder is the reality that something is going to have to change. Something is going to have to give and I promise if it’s the last thing I do-
(Before long, Kirk is interrupted by ‘Did You See the Sunrise?’ By Chogakusei which begins to play through the speakers.)
Stew-O: No way, is this who I think it is…
(The crowd begins to roar as the camera goes from the ring to the stage, as it’s revealed to be none other than JAY JERRY JOHNSON as he is seen making his way out from the backstage area and toward the stage. He has a smirk on his face as he eyes Kirk Redwood inside of the ring, before making his way down the ramp.)
Jake Mercer: OH BROTHER here we go again…
Flannery McCoy: The former Interwire Champion is back here in Elite Answers Wrestling, and we haven’t seen him since Grand Rampage last Season! Jay Jerry Johnson has been a mainstay player on Friday Night Dynasty since his arrival to the brand, and we all know the type of impact that he can make, what a move that Dynasty has made!
Stew-O: But it seems like right now he has his eyes set on his first target, and that target just so happens to be Kirk Redwood who is inside of the ring right now. What is this going to end up spiraling into? We’re just going to have to see, but right now, Jay has something on his mind.
(Jay makes his way up the steps and onto the apron as he enters into the ring. He makes his way over and grabs a microphone from the ringside area while ‘Did You See the Sunrise?’ then begins to come to a close. Jay then, approaching Kirk, begins to speak.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: I’m back! :blessed:
(The crowd cheers loudly, Kirk on the otherhand doesn’t look very amused by the fact that he got interrupted in the middle of his speech.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: Look, Kirk, you know I don’t mind you, pal. In fact, I respect you! I respect you for still being in this company after everything that you’ve gone through. Let me tell you, if I was in your position, I would’ve quit by now.
Kirk Redwood: Get to the point before you get yourself in a situation that you’re going to regret.
Jay Jerry Johnson: Calm down, man! I’m in a good mood, I’m back in Elite Answers Wrestling, and I couldn’t be happier, I really don’t want to start any conflict. I just wanted to let you know something that could be informative as we move into Road To Redemption. You said that you were intent on going after the Interwire Championship after you lost to Hans Grayson, but I hate to break it to you, but you’re going to have to wait just a little longer. In fact, dare I say, you won’t be getting a chance to fight for that title at all. I’m going to be the one that goes after it, and I’m going to be the two-time Interwire Champion that I truly desire to be. I don’t care what it takes, all I’ll tell you right now is that I will knock down every single person in my way until I get what I want. Is that clear? Are we on the same page?
Kirk Redwood: I don’t think we are, in fact, I think we have a problem right now. You’re talking a lot of smack for someone who just came back and I don’t think this is a situation that you want to get yourself into. While you’ve been at home, doing God knows what, I’ve been here, I’ve been working my ass off, and I’ve continued to fight despite what every single person has said about me. So if you’re implying that you want a match against me, then trust me it’s not going to be as easy as you think.
Jay Jerry Johnson: Oh really, that sounds like a challenge from YOU. So you know what? Let’s make this easy for both of us because I have a proposition.
Kirk Redwood: I’m down for anything.
Jay Jerry Johnson: You versus me at Super Dynasty.
(The crowd cheers loudly at this as Kirk tilts his head at this, looking quite interested in this proposition.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: I really don’t want to waste my return on Kirk Redwood, but someone needs to be taught a lesson.
Kirk Redwood: I accept.
(The crowd once again cheers for this as Jay nods his head, beginning to turn around and make his way out of the ring.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: So be it, but be careful what you wish for. I’ve been out of EAW for a long time, and even though that might mean I have ring rust, it only means in my mind that I’m as hungry as ever.
(‘Did You See the Sunrise?’ then begins to play up again as Jay drops his microphone down on the ground and begins to make his way up the ramp. Kirk watches on with a piercing stare, as the last shot seen is Jay raising his arms in the air before Friday Night Dynasty, from there, begins to fade elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for the WNBA featuring Ronn Banks.)
(Friday Night Dynasty returns as ‘Saint Pablo’ by Kanye West is heard playing through the speakers of the arena. Cy Henderson is seen taking a seat at ringside with a smirk on his face as Stephie Love is seen standing by with a microphone in hand.)
Stephie Love: The following singles match is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Enemy Strike’ by Yuki Hayashi is heard playing through the speakers of the arena as a determined Myles is seen making his way out from the backstage area and toward the stage. After everything that has happened these past couple of weeks, it is clear he would love a win tonight as he makes his way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… from Melbourne, Australia… weighing in at 225 pounds… he is ‘THE PEAK’… MYLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Pride and Arrogance’ by Takeru Kanazaki is then heard following that as the camera goes over to show an arrogant Drake Armstrong as he saunters out to the stage. He looks around with a smug expression before spreading his arms out as he would then begins to make his way down the ramp and toward the ring from there.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent… from Scarsdale, New York… weighing in at 245 pounds… ‘THE FUTURE’… DRAKE ARMSTRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Here we go! The bell has officially rung and we are underway with our Reckless Wiring main event rematch tonight on Dynasty! For the first time since losing the World Heavyweight Championship, Myles is in action as he goes against a hungry and prepared Drake Armstrong! A big opportunity for both Elitists to get momentum heading into Road To Redemption, but at the same time the problem lies in Myles having to worry about the person who is seated right next to us at ringside, and that is Cy Henderson.
Flannery McCoy: We know both of them have issues, we’re just going to have to see if that bleeds through into this match tonight. Both Drake and Myles make their way out of their corners, quick to engage in a collar-and-elbow tie-up! Myles is trying to overpower Drake, but Drake is quick to think on his feet before that can happen, spinning around and locking in a side headlock! The hold is cinched in as Drake dips himself downward, trying to bring Myles down to the ground, but Myles has zero intentions of doing that as he makes his way up to his feet and slowly backs himself and Drake toward the ropes. He then sends Drake toward the opposite side of the ring… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SHOULDER TACKLE WHICH DROPS HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
Jake Mercer: Drake lands flat on his back but quickly rises back up, clearly unhappy with what just happened there. Both of them make their way around again, and it looks like they’re about to lock up a second time… BUT IN AN INSTANT, DRAKE GOES UNDER AND GRABS MYLES BY THE LEGS BEFORE TAKING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! Myles rolls onto his back and heaves himself up to a seated position… ONLY FOR DRAKE TO STEP FORWARD AND CONNECT WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE!
Stew-O: Drake is clearly unhappy with how this match has gone so far, and he’s quick to start a stomping barrage straight to the body of Myles in hopes that he’ll stay down for the time being. But Myles isn’t going to let that happen, as he reaches out and grabs a hold of the ropes before using them to pull himself toward them and force a rope break. The referee makes his way over and breaks Drake away from the Hall of Famer, and you can see the displeasure bore on the face of The Future as he takes a couple of steps back.
Flannery McCoy: Myles uses the ropes to begin to pull himself back up, but he’s not going to have much time to recuperate as Drake is quick to snatch him by the head and begin to absolutely unload on him with forearm strikes straight to the face! Myles is trying his best to bring his arms up and fight back, but Drake isn’t going to let that happen as he snatches him by the back of the neck… BRINGING HIM OVER AND SLAMMING HIS FACE AGAINST THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! Myles’ head bounces as he falls backward against the corner, and Drake now is beginning to strike with repeated European uppercuts to the jaw!
Jake Mercer: There’s a certain type of ferocity behind what Drake is doing right now, and he’s letting Myles know who’s in control in this match right now. Myles slowly begins to slump down to a seated position and it’s Drake who now looks to get a running start and go for something here… AS HE RUSHES HIMSELF FORWARD AND GOES FOR A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE STRAIGHT TO THE FACE OF MYLES!
Stew-O: BUT THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN AS MYLES MANAGES TO USE THE ROPES TO PULL HIMSELF AWAY! Drake collides hard with the corner as he tries to get himself out of there… BUT IT’S MYLES WHO CONNECTS WITH A SHOULDER THRUST TO THE ABDOMEN TO KEEP DRAKE BACKED IN THE CORNER! He then grabs a hold of him around the waist… BEFORE LAUNCHING HIM THROUGH THE AIR WITH A HUGE BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX WHICH SENDS THE FORMER INTERWIRE CHAMPION TUMBLING DOWN!
Flannery McCoy: Myles manages to get himself back in this one and he doesn’t seem to be done with his assault. He leaves through the ropes and starts scaling up to the top turnbuckle, having his eyes on Drake who is slowly rising back up to his feet, clearly hurt right now… ONLY TO BE MET WITH A METEORA BY MYLES AS HE PUSHES HIMSELF OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND DROPS HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! What a move by Myles as he hooks the leg and goes for the first pinfall of the match!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT DRAKE ARMSTRONG KICKS OUT BEFORE THREE! It’s going to take a lot more than that and I think Myles is prepared to do just that to make sure that he gets the win tonight. While Myles was reaching out to grab a hold of Drake though, Drake had enough ring awareness to roll himself out of there to escape. He doesn’t want any part of Myles in this state!
Stew-O: He goes under the ropes and to the ringside area near our announcer’s table, and I think Myles sees exactly where this is going while rising back up to his feet. He runs to the ropes and back… BEFORE LEAPING OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TAKING DRAKE DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A HUGE TOPE CON HILO!
(The crowd goes absolutely wild as Myles rises up to his feet, a smirk on his face while he does so. He looks to grab Drake and roll him back into the ring… but before he can, his eyes catch Cy Henderson. The Hall of Famer looks amused by this as he applauds the efforts of Myles, but the only thing that Myles can do is shake his head as he grabs Drake and pushes him back under the bottom rope.)
Flannery McCoy: Myles and Drake are back inside of the ring and it looks like Myles has something else up his sleeve right now. Drake is gingerly rising up to a kneeling position, and I don’t think he realizes what’s coming here…
Jake Mercer: AS MYLES RUSHES FORWARD AND GOES FOR THE ‘DRACO METEOR’! THE DOUBLE KNEES TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!
Stew-O: BUT DRAKE WAS PLAYING POSSUM! HE SPINS AROUND AND GRABS MYLES BEFORE LIFTING HIM INTO AN EXPLODER SUPLEX! Drake barely managed to get himself out of that situation, but he knows that he’s going to have to do more if he wants to keep Myles down for good, as the former World Heavyweight Champion is already beginning to rise back up to his feet and do what he can to get back into this.
Flannery McCoy: Drake grabs a hold of Myles and brings him up to his feet, Myles is hurt right now and trying his best to fight back but he’s just too weak at the moment as Drake turns him around and sets him up for something here…
Jake Mercer: AS HE LIFTS HIM UP AND GOES FOR ‘NATURAL TALENT’! BRIDGING HALF-NELSON HALF-CHICKENWING SUPLEX!
Stew-O: NO! MYLES MANAGES TO BREAK ONE OF HIS ARMS FREE BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A BACK ELBOW STRAIGHT TO THE FACE! He turns around where he is as Drake attempts to swing at him- But Myles manages to duck under that as he turns around… LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A HIGH KNEE STRAIGHT TO THE FACE! Drake crumbles down to a kneeling position and this gives Myles the opportunity to run to the ropes and back… FOLLOWING THAT UP WITH A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE STRAIGHT TO THE FACE TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Flannery McCoy: Drake is hurt as he clutches his jaw but is using the ropes to make his way back up to his feet. Myles though has his eyes set on Drake as he rises back up to his feet, quickly snatching him by the wrist before sending him toward the opposite side of the ring with an Irish whip, Drake rebounds…
Jake Mercer: STRAIGHT INTO ‘VICTORIA’! MYLES CATCHES HIM AS HE LIFTS HIM OFF THE GROUND INTO THE POP-UP KNEE STRIKE! DRAKE IS CAUGHT STRAIGHT AGAINST THE JAW AS HE’S SENT RIGHT DOWN TO THE GROUND! HE’S DOWN AS MYLES IS QUICK TO HOOK THE LEG AND GO FOR THE PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHH-
Stew-O: BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO KICK OUT OF THAT! He refuses to give up just yet and Myles knows that! He nods his head as he slowly rises back up to his feet, and you can see Myles occasionally turn his head toward Cy Henderson, he seems to be keeping an extra eye out just in case he decides to interfere in this match.
Flannery McCoy: Myles grabs a hold of the head of Drake Armstrong before bringing him up to his feet, seizing him by the wrist, and sending him toward the ropes with an Irish whip… AS MYLES THEN GOES UNDER AND SENDS DRAKE FLYING THROUGH THE AIR WITH A BACK BODY DROP WHICH SENDS HIM CRASHING DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Jake Mercer: Tough predicament right here as Drake clutches his back in pain, slowly crawling himself away and toward one of the corners in order to get some breathing room. But Myles already has his sights set on him as he rushes over… CONNECTING WITH A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE STRAIGHT TO HIS FACE! Drake is left absolutely rocked and now Myles is grabbing him by the head and sending him down to the ground with a Snapmare… FOLLOWING THAT UP WITH A HARD KICK TO THE BACK-
Stew-O: NO! DRAKE MANAGES TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT! Drake avoids it as quickly as he can, quick to go under the bottom rope and onto the apron to avoid the possibility of incurring the wrath of Myles. But Myles is quick to rise back up to his feet as he doesn’t seem very happy about that, he makes his way over and grabs a hold of Drake by the head, and brings him up… BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING, IT’S DRAKE WHO MANAGES TO SNATCH MYLES AND CONNECT WITH A HOTSHOT AS MYLES’ HEAD BOUNCES OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND HE IS SENT DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Flannery McCoy: Myles is dropped down to his side as Drake with a smirk on his face slowly slithers into the ring. He has his eyes set on Myles as he makes his way over, and it looks like he’s going for something here…
Jake Mercer: AND HE CINCHES IN THE ‘BOURGEOIS BITE’! THE ABDOMINAL STRETCH IS LOCKED IN AND MYLES IS CLEARLY IN AGONIZING PAIN RIGHT NOW AS HE’S DOING WHAT HE CAN TO GET OUT OF THIS HOLD, BUT DRAKE HAS IT LOCKED IN TIGHT! HE’S TRYING TO STRETCH FURTHER AND LOCK IN THE ABDOMINAL CLAW, BUT MYLES IS STRUGGLING TOO MUCH FOR HIM TO GET A GOOD GRIP!
Stew-O: MYLES IS REFUSING TO GIVE UP! EVEN WITH THE HOLD LOCKED IN! BUT DRAKE IS ABSOLUTELY WRENCHING BACK AT HIM, DOING WHAT HE CAN IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT HE CAN AT LEAST DO A GOOD AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO MYLES BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE! BUT MYLES IS BEGINNING TO WIGGLE HIMSELF FREE, NOT LETTING HIMSELF GET THE BETTER OF!
Flannery McCoy: AS HE SLIPS OUT OF THE ABDOMINAL STRETCH AND CONNECTS WITH A HARD ELBOW STRAIGHT TO THE FACE! Myles staggers back and dips down to a kneeling position as you can see the unhappy look on the face of Drake Armstrong as he takes a step back…
Jake Mercer: RUSHING FORWARD AND GOING FOR THE ‘HALBERD FROM HELL’! FRONT DROPKICK TO THE ABDOMEN OF MYLES!
Stew-O: BUT MYLES MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT JUST IN TIME! Drake lands flat on his back as he quickly tries to rise up to a kneeling position… BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING, MYLES RUSHES FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A HARD BOOT TO THE FACE!
Flannery McCoy: Drake is hurt as he struggles to keep himself up, but he’s not going to have the pleasure of even doing that as Myles snatches hold of him by the head and brings him into a front facelock… BEFORE POPPING HIM UP OFF THE GROUND AND DROPPING HIM DOWN ONTO THE TOP OF HIS HEAD WITH A BRAINBUSTER!
Jake Mercer: The offense is beginning to flow for Myles again, as he knows this might be the best chance that he gets. He makes his way over and grabs a hold of the head of Drake and brings him up to his feet, you can tell that he’s still in a world of hurt right now but is somehow managing to find it in him to push through right now as he sets Drake up…
Stew-O: AND POPS HIM UP OFF THE GROUND FOR THE ‘DE FACTO’!
Flannery McCoy: BUT THAT DOESN’T WORK AS DRAKE MANAGES TO LAND BEHIND HIM! Myles turns around… JUST TO BE MET WITH A HARD FOREARM SHOT TO THE FACE BY DRAKE! Myles falls against the ropes but manages to rebound… AS HE GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE TO THE HEAD- NO! DRAKE MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT BEFORE LIFTING HIM OFF THE GROUND INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX-
Jake Mercer: NO! MYLES MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH A BACK ELBOW TO THE FACE THAT SENDS HIM BACKWARD! DRAKE TRIES TO FIGHT BACK… BUT MYLES LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH YET ANOTHER HIGH KNEE! MYLES HAS HIM SCOUTED AS HE THEN RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK…
Stew-O: LEAPING THROUGH THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH THE ‘DRACO METEOR’ TO DROP HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! THE DOUBLE KNEES STRAIGHT TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD OF DRAKE ARMSTRONG WIPE HIM OUT AND MYLES IS WASTING ABSOLUTELY NO TIME RIGHT NOW ROLLING HIM OVER AND HOOKING THE LEG TO TRY FOR THE PIN! IS THIS GOING TO BE IT?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEE-
Flannery McCoy: BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO KICK OUT OF THAT! Myles is immediately right back up to his feet, and he knows what he wants to go for right here! He has a hold of Drake and brings him back up to his feet, and I think we know what it’s time for…
Jake Mercer: THE ‘DE FACTO’ TO DRAKE-
Stew-O: WHAT THE HELL?! CY JUST SHOT OUT OF HIS SEAT AND RUSHED OVER TO THE RING TO GRAB A HOLD OF MYLES’ LEG!
(Myles drops Drake down to the ground as he immediately turns his attention to Cy who has taken a good couple of steps back, holding up his hands in innocence. The referee is shouting at him, trying to see whether or not he interfered in the match, but Cy is pleading his innocence right now. Myles looks unhappy by this as he shakes his head and turns back around.)
Flannery McCoy: Myles makes his way over and grabs a hold of Drake…
Jake Mercer: WAIT! DRAKE GRABS A HOLD OF HIM BY THE HEAD AND PULLS HIM INTO AN INSIDE CRADLE PIN!
OOONNNEEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Pride and Arrogance’ begins to play through the speakers again as Drake Armstrong is quick to roll himself under the bottom rope and out of the ring. He has a smirk on his face as inside the ring, Myles absolutely cannot believe what just happened. Drake raises his arms in victory as he celebrates his victory.)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… DRAKE ARMSTRONG!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: WOW! Thanks to an interference by Cy Henderson, Drake Armstrong managed to get a win against the former World Heavyweight Champion Myles! Even though it was tainted, it doesn’t seem to be a problem in Drake’s mind whatsoever!
Flannery McCoy: But I’m sure there’s going to be hell to pay for Cy Henderson once this is all said and done. Both he and Myles already had problems with one another, but it seems like it’s extremely close to reaching it’s boiling point. Regardless, congratulations to Drake Armstrong on getting the victory!
(Cy is seen applauding Drake on his efforts, but Myles is staring a hole into him right now, absolutely furious about what happened. It’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty then begins to fade to elsewhere from there.)
(A commercial plays for Amazon Prime, featuring Drake Armstrong.)
(‘2024’ by Playboi Carti hits, and the fans in the Barclays Center become feverishly loud. Their excitement reaches a whole new peak as Joso steps, dressed in New York Libery colors, honoring the team for picking up their first finals win in WNBA history. The world heavyweight champion has a massive smile stretching across his face as he daps up all of the fans that are within the front row. He take his time; after all, it was his homecoming to the city that raised him, and the people were willing to show him just as much love to him as he was to him.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the EAW World Heavyweight Champion… JOOOOOOOOOSOOOOOOOO!
Stew-O: Well, it’s a good thing we remembered to get our ear plugs for this occasion! :mjlol: New York fans are always loud, but they are like an explosion as they’re welcoming one of their own back to this momentous city.
Jake Mercer: No kidding! But hey, Joso deserves every bit of the love he’s getting here!
Flannery McCoy: And speaking of love—
(Joso is suddenly swept up by several fans by ringside. They all root and cheer, and Joso is on his back as the fans have the champion surfing.)
Crowd: JO-SO! JO-SO! JO-SO! JO-SO!!
(Joso laughs, raising his title and the cameras get closer to ensure they capture every possible shot of the champion with his people.)
Stew-O: Now that’s an image that will last a lifetime!
(Eventually, the fans are able to place Joso safely down back to the floor. Joso chuckles, and nods to them, and gets into the ring. Inside of it has several pictures displayed showcasing some of Joso’s pivotal moments; from his New Era Classic win at Pain for Pride, to him winning the Interwire Championship a few weeks later, to winning King of Elite, and finally, him winning at House of Glass, becoming a world champion for the first time in his career. Balloons and streamers are around as well, reflecting various New York sports teams, from the Knicks, to the Giants, Nets and Rangers. ‘2024’ fades once Joso grabs a microphone for himself, and Joso takes a moment to scan the audience before saying:)
Joso: NEWWWWW YOOOOOOOOORK! YOUR KING IS HERE, BABY!
Crowd: NJRCNRJVNJWRNVKNWKRJNBKWRNBKKRBKNWRJTNJWNRJBNKWRNBJNJWRGNBKWRGNWKRNGKBNWRNBNWJRNNWKRNBNJKRTNWJRKTNBJWNRNBJWRNBJKNWRKBNKJNRNBKWNRKBJNKJWRNBNWRNNWRNJKNRKGBJKWRNKWOJPTJIJIEVBJPOKWPENVNPOBJNJNEFVNPQJEPIRJVQIGOENLNKSDVVOQEORKGOQEJNOQJVNQIERJPQEJRPIEJQR!!!!!
Joso: Whew! Damn, it feels good to be here, man. I might be a Bronx kid, but Brooklyn has a special place in my heart as well, and when it comes to this city? Man, I probably wouldn’t even be here if I wasn’t raised in this place. People see New York and the instantly envision either the glitz and glam, or the dirt and rats that are around the place.
(Joso comically pauses.)
Joso: Which, I ain’t even gonna cap—there are a lot of them mfers out here!
Crowd: :mjlol: !!
Joso: … However, New York ain’t one thing or the other. It’s both. It’s beautiful even if it may be rough around the edges. It’s tough and unrelenting, but it’s persistent as can be. The people can be a lil obnoxious, but we don’t quit, we don’t give up, and we sure as hell don’t let anyone try to dim our light. This city definitely has been through its ups and downs, but there is beauty behind its mindness, and there’s a heartbeat that never slows down. That heartbeat is each and every one of you. It’s every dreamer with a hustle, every underdog that claws their way up from nothing, every voice that shouts even when no one’s listening. That’s what makes this place more than just concrete and lights, more than just skyscrapers and subways. It makes it alive. And, hell, that’s what’s kept me going all these years.
(The fans clap and rally as Joso’s words resonate with them. He nods, and smiles to everyone before continuing.)
Joso: Y’all have been with me from the beginning, and y’all know my story. From wrestling in rec centers where the roof leaked whenever it rained, to hopping between jobs just to keep the dream alive. I came from nothing but a hope and a stubborn streak as wide as the Hudson River. But every setback, every bruise, every single moment I felt like throwing in the towel… it was the thought of this city that kept me fighting.
(Joso gestures to the pictures displayed around him, his fingers brushing past the photo of him holding up the Interwire Championship, sweat and tears mingling on his face.)
Joso: Winning that? That was for me. Proving that I could take the King of Elite? That was for every kid who’s ever been told they’ll never make it. And this—
(He points to the photo of himself triumphantly hoisting the world championship at House of Glass, shards of broken glass scattered like stars at his feet.)
Joso: This right here? This one’s for us. For all of us who continue to fight to be recognized and show everyone that we WILL not be denied. Because if there’s one thing this city taught me, it’s that a true champion doesn’t just fight for themselves. They fight for everything they stand for, fight for their beliefs, and I always believed in myself, even when people were tryna ride me saying that I wasn’t ready or that I didn’t fit the mold. I kept to myself, didn’t let anyone or their words knock me off my game, and just like all of you, I just simply told anyone hating on me to suck my dick. Or, in the words of a certain someone from this very borough right here, called them a bozo. :troll:
(The fans laugh and cheer at that obvious nod to Chris Elite.)
Joso: But for real tho, it’s an honor getting to stand here as the champ, especially in my city. Still, as much as I have been enjoying the crazy week y’all had showing me all kinds of love and going crazy for me, including tonight, I know that I can’t get complacent, because coming right up is Road to Redemption, and not only will I be defending my title in the Extreme Elimination Chamber for this brand… but it’ll also be my first title defense for this championship. And that’s gonna be tough.
(The fans quiet down, realizing how serious the situation was. However, Joso remains steadfast, never losing his confidence, and continues.)
Joso: It’s no easy feat. At least last year the majority of champions were able to break the curse as three out of the four champions successfully defended their titles in their respective chambers — even if Drake King’s bum ass ended up getting clowned on by Charlie Marr. :mjlol: But still, that’s a rarity, man. I mean, more often than not, the champion usually loses in that match. Others are able to realize their season long or even years long dream of becoming world champion and walk into the new year with a new, renewed sense of purpose. And while that’s cute and all, great, even, I don’t wanna end up being one of those champions who are fated to lose. I mean, it would be crazy if after all the hard work I put in, the road instantly stops before I get the chance to truly see this reign through until the end. However, as intimidating as it may be to be in this kind of predicament… I ain’t scared. Not at all. Even if I haven’t been in this match before, it doesn’t make a difference. Myles gave me all the advice I ever needed last week. He reaffirmed to me that I should trust in my gut instincts, trust in myself, and it’ll get me through possibly the most grueling match of my career. So, that’s what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna keep sticking to what works for me. However, I won’t be underestimating anyone. We already seen BRAE and Hans qualify, two champions in their own right, and I know the thought of becoming a double champion entices them greatly. I gotta keep my head on a swivel. But I think I can get the job done, and when it’s all said and done? Not only will I walk out of Road to Redemption as an EEC winner, but I will REMAIN your World Heavyweight Champion, cause when Joso shoots?
Crowd: HE DON’T MISS!!!
Joso: :notbad: Well, y’all been hip to it, so I shouldn’t be surprised.
(Joso chuckles.)
Joso: Now, with that out of the way, let’s keep the good vibes rolling and—
(But before Joso can speak, the lights go out.)
Stew-O: Huh? Are we having any issues with the lights?
Jake Mercer: Oh man, come on! We were having a nice homecoming for Joso!
(But then, the titantron comes to life. Various fast-moving shots are shown, highlighting an Elitist. Various strange, cryptic clues are given, each one more vague than the other, until one shot settles on a man with blonde hair and his back facing the camera. A piano can be heard…)
(…and then, the piano key to ‘Still D.R.E.’ hits and nobody emerges from behind the curtain for a moment, the titantron denoting in bold text various accomplishments Impact has notched over the years alongside the video of the events as the piano version continues.)
Stew-O: WHAT!?
(The lights return to normal, with green ones flashing around the arena before Impact arrives. A shocked expression takes hold of everyone, including Joso.)
Jake Mercer: WHOA! WHAT IS IMP DOING HERE?! WE HAVEN’T SEEN HIM SINCE PAIN FOR PRIDE: KINGDOM, NEARLY SIX MONTHS AGO, AND JOSO WAS ABLE TO DEFEAT HIM!
Flannery McCoy: TALK ABOUT UNEXPECTED!! WE HAD JAY JERRY JOHNSON RETURN EARLIER IN THE NIGHT, BUT NOW, THE LEGENDARY, TEN-TIME WORLD CHAMPION IS BACK!!
(Dressed in a crisp, dark-red suit, Impact’s trademark smirk stretches across his face as he takes in the crowd’s reaction. He pauses, letting the moment marinate, before slowly making his way down to the ring. One camera angle shows off that he already has a microphone in his hand. Clearly, he has been thinking about addressing the new champion. Eventually, he reaches the ring, gets inside, and the music dies down, leaving the arena in anticipation. Joso noticeably has a bit of his guard up as he looks at Impact, but before he can address the champ, he turns to the fans.)
Impact: Hi there, Brooklyn… have you missed me?
(The crowd’s roar is deafening, a mix of cheers, boos, and stunned exclamations. Joso shifts inside the ring, eyes narrowed, trying to read Impact’s intentions. Meanwhile, the former multi-time champion chuckles, and turns his attention back to Joso.)
Impact: Now, now, don’t look so surprised, champ. Did you really think you’d seen the last of me? Did you really think I’d let that chapter close so easily?
(Joso shakes his head, raising his own mic back up.)
Joso: I mean, can you blame me? You and your boo thing are both known for dipping for a while when things don’t go your way. History has a funny way of repeating itself sometimes.
Crowd: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH!!!
(Impact nods his head for a bit, laughing and rubbing his chin from that obvious dig.)
Impact: Cute, cute, cute. Well, seeing as how Sienna is still here and a champion at that and I’m here myself though, that already dispells that little insult of yours. Either way, Joso, you have what I want. It’s just that simple. I definitely feel like I would be a better world champion than you based on my staggering history alone. Plus, well, it’s already been pointed out a few times already, but this is your first chamber match ever, so it should be obvious how the result is gonna end up looking for you.
Joso: Oh, so what, you wanna challenge me and walk into the chamber match yourself? Shoot, you’re gonna get beaten worse than you did at Pain for Pride, but if you’re feeling that froggy, then you can jump.
Impact: Oh, no, Joso. I don’t want to beat you before Road to Redemption…
(Impact’s smirk becomes even more cruel.)
Impact: I want to beat you at it, because I’m the special entrant for the Extreme Elimination Chamber.
Stew-O: WHAT!?
(The fans are in disbelief. Last week, Kensingten and Richard said that there was a surprise Elitist for the match, and with Impact’s revelation, that meant that it was him all along. The camera zooms in on Joso’s face as he processes the news, his jaw clenching and eyes narrowing.)
Jake Mercer: Well, this dramatically changes everything in regards to this match! Not only is Joso going to have to survive against two current champions on Dynasty, but now, he’s gonna have to deal with an old foe and the single-most decorated Elitist of all time in Impact! The stakes were high as is for him, but wow! This just took things from an eighty to, like, a thousand! Maybe even more than that!
Flannery McCoy: No kidding! Joso is gonna have his work cut out for him!
(Joso’s gaze falls to the floor. However, after a brief moment, he raises his head back up, looking past the condescending expression on Impact’s face, and addresses him directly.)
Joso: You know what, Impact? I should’ve seen this coming. You always did like making a grand entrance, stealing the spotlight when you think people have forgotten you. But here’s the thing—you stepping into that chamber just makes my victory that much sweeter. You wanna put yourself in the lion’s den? Be my guest. Just know that this time, there won’t be any excuses when I beat you again.
(The crowd erupts with cheers at Joso’s defiance. Impact takes a step closer to the ring, eyes gleaming with anticipation.)
Impact: Oh, Joso, you really don’t get it, do you? The Chamber isn’t just any match. It’s a proving ground, a battlefield where only the most ruthless survive. You think one victory at Pain for Pride makes you ready for this? You’re stepping into a world of pain you can’t even begin to imagine, and when the dust settles, and that door opens, it’s my hand that’ll be raised high. In a way, it’s kinda a shame that I’ll be the one to end your reign before it truly has the chance to take off, but at the same time, that’s par for the course in this industry. This promotion rarely has had one-hit wonders as many champions don’t lose in their first defense, but it has happened a few times before, and seeing as how you have yet to be acclimated to this sort of stuff? I’d say it’s only inevitable that you’re gonna crash and burn in the worst way possible next year.
Joso: Crash and burn? Nah, man, see, that’s not my story. You might be used to seeing guys come and go, one-hit wonders who couldn’t handle the pressure, but I’m not them. I didn’t come this far to be a footnote in your legacy or anyone else’s. This championship isn’t just a prop; it’s a promise that I’ll do whatever it takes to keep it, and trust me, I meant every word that I said when it comes to my mission of winning that match. You might someone who is having to step into unfamiliar territory with the Chamber, but what you don’t see is the fire that’s been forged by every night I have spent clawing my way to the top. It sure as hell been more frequent and recent than anything you have done. In fact, you want to talk about survival to me of all people? You’re looking at someone who’s built for it. Yeah, the Chamber is brutal. Yeah, it’s a test. But you know what else it is? An opportunity. An opportunity for me to beat not just one, but multiple Elitists and cement my reign. An opportunity to step into the most unforgiving match in this business and prove that I’m not just holding this title—I own it. So if you’re coming into that Chamber thinking I’m just some kid who’s out of his depth, then you’re already underestimating me, and that’s gonna be your biggest mistake.
(Impact’s smirk falters just for a moment, the fire in Joso’s eyes causing the seasoned veteran to reassess. He leans back slightly, crossing his arms.)
Impact: Strong words, Joso. I’ll give you that. But words don’t win matches, and confidence only gets you so far. I’ve bled in that Chamber before. I’ve broken bodies and had mine broken in return. You may think you know what you’re walking into, but until that first pod opens and chaos erupts, you won’t understand. And when you do, when reality sets in, you’ll realize why I’m still standing here after all these years. The Chamber doesn’t care about your hunger or your fire, it only respects one thing: dominance. And trust me, that’s a language I speak fluently.
(The two men lock eyes, the tension thick in the air, as the crowd’s energy surges. It’s not just a match they’re anticipating anymore; it’s a clash of eras, especially with two Elitists who are more than familiar with one another.)
Joso: Well, I guess we’ll see whose will breaks first, then, won’t we? Cause come Road to Redemption, I’m not just fighting for this title. I’m fighting to show the world that I belong at the top. This is the start of The New Era that no one, not even you, can stop.
Impact: I guess we’ll see soon enough, won’t we?
Joso: Oh yeah. We will.
(Joso raises the championship up high, staring down Impact.)
Joso: And you’re gonna see for yourself that I don’t miss.
(Joso drops his microphone, and the fans. ‘2024’ plays. Impact’s smirk resurfaces as he eyes up the championship.)
Stew-O: Well, this is going to be one hell of a first defense for Joso. However, he remains resolute despite the mounting odds against him.
Jake Mercer: He is bold and brave, and he has been able to beat Impact before, but the Chamber is a whole different ball game, and Joso could very well miss if he isn’t careful!
Flannery McCoy: I guess we’ll see soon enough if Joso is ready for the challenge that awaits him. However, for now, Joso remains firm and confident, even in the face of his greatest opponent to date!
(Friday Night Dynasty then fades to the last set of commercials for the night.)
(A commercial plays for Road to Redemption.)
(The camera cuts to Stephie Love in the ring.)
Stephie Love: The following main event contest is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Invincible’ by Pop Smoke can be heard throughout the speakers as the audience responds with immense reactions. Chris Elite emerges from the back with a confident & focused expression on his face, nodding to the reactions as he walks down the ramp looking forward to the main event tonight as he sets his eyes onto the ring ahead.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! From Brooklyn, New York! Weighing in at 210 pounds… CHRISSSSSSSS, ELITE!!!
Stew-O: Since returning, Chris Elite has certainly kept himself busy with match after match that he’s able to partake in. An unsuccessful venture toward capturing the Interwire Championship, but he’s here to return momentum back onto his own side as EAW Hall of Famers collide tonight.
Flannery McCoy: Can’t take away all of the heart that Chris Elite has constantly displayed with each outing that he has inside those ropes, and this is another main event where there is plenty of opportunity for him to prove himself further—especially against his opponent.
(‘Blood, Milk & Sky’ by White Zombie can be heard throughout the speakers as there is an electric reaction from the audience for the EAW Hall of Famer. Minerva makes her way out from the back with a focused demeanor, the brief glimpse of the crowd at hand as well as eyeing directly at the ring before heading down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing his opponent! From the Florida Everglades, weighing in at 122 pounds… ‘THE BLACK ROSE’, MIIIIIIIIINERVAAAA!!!
Stew-O: Minerva is fresh off of giving an absolute beating to Drake King, which left him lying in a bloodied heap that I am certain Minerva enjoyed doing greatly. Now, she brings herself back into the competitive nature that Dynasty is all about as she takes on a fellow EAW Hall of Famer.
Jake Mercer: Minerva must certainly be feeling confident after the agony she placed Drake through, which also ended up costing him his own main event match. Now she sees herself in this main event, and we should expect a battle between these two former World Champions.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: And we’re off! Two EAW Hall of Famers will collide tonight as Minerva takes on Chris Elite! As we all know, Minerva has been embroiled in quite the heated rivalry with Drake King that she is assuring is far from over, and now we will see the multi time World Champion partake in another main event match against an elitist who has been looking to figure into his own momentum as well! Especially with Road to Redemption beginning to loom over the heads of every single elitist in the active roster, this will be quite the test for who can be prepared as the hellacious event will be here in no time.
Flannery McCoy: This should be quite the match for all of us to witness here as both Minerva & Chris Elite begin to circle around the ring, going at a pace most suitable for the both of them as they’re now raising their arms respectively. They may be looking for a collar and elbow to begin this match—but Minerva opts to swiftly duck Chris’ reach toward her and apply a headlock!! Minerva employs the headlock as she’s now stepping over the back of Elite’s knee, and Chris drops to one knee as he’s now in a less than stellar spot to kick off the match here! Minerva keeps him suppressed for the time being as the headlock is kept on hold, but Chris is now rising back up to his feet and looking for a sudden back suplex!!
Jake Mercer: But Minerva’s able to flip herself over with the back suplex and land on her own feet behind Chris Elite!! She aims for a swift swing toward the back of his head, but Chris ducks the swing and now Minerva’s rushing forward before rebounding back from the ropes and toward Chris!! Chris quickly drops from the stance he had and down to a prone position as Minerva hops herself over Chris Elite and continues to rush the ropes!! Minerva motions back over while Chris proceeds to go for a leapfrog in which she can move under to continue the momentum—
Stew-O: ‘TILL MINERVA DUCKS UNDER AND SWIFTLY YANKS CHRIS ELITE DOWN FOR A ROLL UP!! Chris is squirming here but his shoulders are down!!
ONEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOO—
Flannery McCoy: Chris quickly escapes from the roll up attempt as he’s now rolling himself upward and back up to his feet—but Minerva with a right hand across his jaw!! Chris is taken aback as now his opponent is applying the pressure, sending repeated body shots sprawling across his torso while being backed into the corner! Minerva doesn’t slow herself down as she’s now sending deliberate elbows right across the temple of Chris! The referee has no choice but to count down while Minerva’s aggression has certainly been amplified after the hellacious month she had to go through, and the referee is reaching the five count!
Jake Mercer: Minerva finally backs herself away as she’s not even giving a glance to the referee, who would certainly like to give an earful toward her but I’m sure that’s the last thing you would want to do with a threat like Minerva. Now she’s rushing forward and looking for a clothesline in the corner—BUT CHRIS WITH THE BOOT!! Minerva is caught directly in the jaw as she backs herself away, with Chris bringing himself to the top turnbuckle rather quickly before leaping onto the rope and DIVING OFF WITH A CROSSBODY ONTO MINERVA!! The cover is also made as Chris hooks the leg here!!
ONEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOO—
Jake Mercer: Not even close to enough! Minerva kicks out and sits herself up, while Chris is bringing himself back up and keeping himself mobile, now sending repeated forearms directly across the upper back of Minerva in any hopes of keeping her suppressed for as much as he possibly can! Now Chris is able to keep the pressure going, as he’s dragging Minerva back up to her own feet and lifting her over his own shoulders here in the fireman’s carry position! Not long now as Chris is looking to hoist her up and DROP HER WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK FOR ‘MOMENT OF CLARITY’!
Stew-O: BUT MINERVA CAUGHT HIS LEG! Chris couldn’t commit as Minerva was able to return to her own feet and catch his leg.. BEFORE COMMITTING TO A DRAGON SCREW THAT TWISTS CHRIS’ LEG INTENSIVELY! Chris is now clutching onto his own leg as he’s eagerly seeking out the stance here, not trying to stay down for long as this can be a rather troubling situation for him to undergo if Minerva maintains focus on what can cost him this match!! Unfortunately, Minerva’s in-ring awareness is amplified far more than the usual elitist, so now she’s quickly rolling out of the ring while keeping a hold of his foot!!
Flannery McCoy: AS SHE SLAMS HIS LEG DOWN ONTO THE APRON!! Now Chris is clutching onto his leg increasingly while Minerva rolls herself back into the ring, and she notices Chris is still adamant about getting himself back up to his own feet as he’s using the ropes to pull himself up, with Minerva keeping a sharp eye on her opponent before PUTTING HIM RIGHT BACK DOWN WITH A SCISSOR KICK!! Chris finds himself now rolling out of the ring after the impact of the scissor kick, possibly trying to avoid any further vitriol that can be placed upon him here as he’s not trying to put too much on his leg!
Jake Mercer: Now Chris sits on the apron while Minerva’s motioning over toward the spot as well! She’s quickly reaching over to Chris as she’s got an arm around his neck, and proceeding to send clobbering strikes right over his skull while the referee is counting down once more! Minerva keeps on emphasizing the attack upon Chris Elite ‘till she’s now hacking herself away momentarily to recoup and bring it all back together! Chris may be staggered here, as now Minerva’s walking herself back over and looking to continue this increased offense upon the Hall of Famer—
Stew-O: BUT A PELE KICK STOPS HER AS CHRIS ELITE IS ABLE TO KEEP HER BACK!! Minerva’s now disoriented by the pele kick as Chris is able to move himself through the ropes and back into the ring!! Minerva is leaned against the ropes as Chris is moving back in to situate himself on the mat JUST BEFORE SHE RUSHES BACK TOWARD HIM—BUT CHRIS ELITE DUCKS THE LARIAT WHILE THEY BOTH RUSH THE ROPES AND TOWARD EACH OTHER—
Flannery McCoy: AS A POUNCE FROM CHRIS ELITE CAUSES MINERVA TO FALL THROUGH THE ROPES & ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!! Minerva is now scrambling to get herself back up as Chris Elite is finding himself quite the big break here, with his opponent trying to use the barricade to drag herself back up! Chris takes notice of Minerva finding her bearings as he doesn’t waste much more time to bring himself back into motion… BY RUSHING THE ROPES AND BACK TOWARD MINERVA AS HE DIVES THROUGH FOR A SUICIDE DIVE!!
Jake Mercer: AS HE CONNECTS!! DRIVING MINERVA SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE AS WELL!!! Minerva is immediately clutching her own shoulder while Chris is struggling a bit to bring himself up, but he takes notice of the shoulder being tweaked due to Minerva’s positioning with the suicide dive, and now I believe Chris Elite will be looking to fight fire with fire as he’s heading over to Minerva and grabbing a hold of her in a swift manner!
Stew-O: AS CHRIS DOESN’T WASTE TIME TOSSING MINERVA DIRECTLY INTO THE STEEL STEPS! SHOULDER FIRST AT THAT!! Minerva’s clutching onto her own shoulder as she’s shaking her head, with Chris Elite using all of the advantage possible after Minerva was set on reducing him to below one hundred percent for the match as well! Now Chris Elite doesn’t waste much time in pushing Minerva back into the ring, and now he’s bringing himself up to the apron while his hands on the ropes!! Chris shakes off his own leg while Minerva is slowly rising back up to her own feet, trying to shake off the damage being done to her arm as she turns around DIRECTLY TO CHRIS ELITE LEAPING OFF THE TOP ROPE!
Flannery McCoy: AS HE AIMS FOR SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE—BUT MINERVA SIDE STEPS AS CHRIS MANAGES TO ROLL HIMSELF THROUGH! No perfect landing there as he doesn’t want to place additional pressure over his leg, but turning himself back around to remain on the attack—ONLY FOR A SUDDEN LARIAT TO TURN HIM INSIDE OUT AS MINERVA’S ABLE TO CONNECT!! Chris Elite is dropped as having to roll rather than land perfectly may have cost him precious seconds for Minerva to recover just enough! Now Minerva is quickly motioning herself over and hooking the leg as his shoulders are down!
ONEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!
T—
Jake Mercer: NOT ENOUGH! Chris Elite kicks out as Minerva’s now sitting herself up here! She shakes her own head as she’s now dragging Chris over to the corner, and he’s now seated against the bottom turnbuckle as Minerva proceeds to stomp down onto the chest of Chris Elite while he’s unable to fend for himself! This isn’t the best place for Elite to be as the referee is now counting down once more, but Minerva doesn’t waste any time as she’s rushing toward the corner before running back and toward CHRIS ELITE WITH A RUNNING LOW DROPKICK—
Stew-O: ‘SNOOZE’ BEFORE SHE COULD EVEN LEAP OFF THE MAT!! The uppercut from Chris Elite is able to stagger Minerva heavily as he’s now lifting Minerva right over his own shoulder, just before rushing toward the nearest corner of the ring while Minerva is disoriented enough to immediately be sprawled into the turnbuckle with THE ‘44 BULLDOG’ TO PUT HER BACK DOWN!! THE LAWN DART IS MORE THAN ENOUGH TO LEAD TO HER LYING FLAT ON THE MAT!!
Flannery McCoy: Chris is now climbing himself up to the top turnbuckle, fighting through the pain that’s been inflicted upon him so far as he’s bringing himself up to the top regardless! Minerva’s down and Chris is not looking to slow himself down while he’s got the opportunity here to put Minerva through what could be another unfortunate defeat.. AS HE LEAPS OFF AND NAILS THE FROG SPLASH RIGHT ONTO MINERVA!! Elite hooks the legs as the referee slides to the count here!
ONEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!
T—
Jake Mercer: NOPE! MINERVA WITH THE SHOULDER UP!! Chris shakes his own head as he’s seated in the middle of the mat, while Minerva is trying to bring herself back up without remaining immobile for too long here BUT CHRIS IMMEDIATELY GRABS A HOLD OF HER WRIST AND MOTIONS RIGHT OVER THE TOP ROPE! HE YANKS HER ARM DOWNWARD ONTO THE ROPE WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT!! Minerva’s clutching her own arm as the additional damage to her shoulder surely wasn’t helpful at all there!
Stew-O: Now Chris is shifting himself toward the corner, and he’s not about to let himself remain idle for long as Minerva’s trying to keep her arm from becoming any more of a problem than it can be with a worsened shoulder! Chris is making sure that his own leg is not greatly affecting him as well, as he keeps his eyes set on Minerva before MOVING FORWARD AND LOOKING FOR THE ‘OPP SPOTTER’—
Flannery McCoy: MINERVA CATCHES HIM WITH A SUDDEN SPINEBUSTER THAT SENDS CHRIS DOWN ONTO THE MAT!! Now Chris is incredibly dazed while shaking his own head, with Minerva creating that valuable space between one another as she’s shaking off her own shoulder before keeping her focus back onto her own opponent! Chris is bring himself back up to his own feet while Minerva maintaining all of the attention possible by placing Elite in the headlock & positioning him accordingly to PUT HIM DOWN!!
Jake Mercer: ‘TWILIGHT’ TAKES CHRIS ELITE DOWN! DRIVING HER ELBOW DOWN ONTO ELITE AS HE’S NOW LAID OUT!! Minerva quickly reverts to hooking the leg as the referee is now counting the pin! To bring the win right here!!
ONEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THREE—
Stew-O: STILL NOT ENOUGH!! Minerva is now nodding to herself as she understands there will have to be much more left to be done if Chris Elite is to be put down tonight in the main event! Now Minerva is situating herself back up to her feet with a hand on the ropes, not paying too much mind toward her own arm as Chris is now bringing himself up here, not one who is intent on keeping himself down for long JUST BEFORE MINERVA SEEKS OUT ‘THE DEVIL’S TOUCH’—
Flannery McCoy: A JUMPING DDT FROM CHRIS ELITE SPIKES MINERVA DIRECTLY INTO THE MAT!!! Minerva’s absolutely dazed as she’s rolling over and into a crouched position, keeping herself from a prone position while Chris is eagerly dragging himself up using the ropes, shaking his head repeatedly as he sees that Minerva is not making any further movements beyond her position! LEADING TO CHRIS RUSHING TOWARD HER HERE!!
Jake Mercer: WITH THE ‘OPEN YA MATA’ KNEE STRIKE NAILING MINERVA ACROSS THE TEMPLE!! Minerva is rocked intensely off of her attempt at a stance and back down onto the mat! Chris Elite is now quickly crawling himself over to Minerva as he’s hooking the leg as quickly as he can, while aiming for the win to be all his right now!
ONEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THREEEEE—
Stew-O: NO! MINERVA IS ABLE TO KICK OUT!!! Chris is shaking his own head now as he was looking to close off this match emphatically! He’s grabbing a hold of Minerva’s worsened arm here, as he’s now proceeding to STOMP DOWN directly into her shoulder with repeated impact as Minerva’s in a bad way here! Chris eventually lets off of the stomps before rushing himself over to the corner! With Minerva clutching onto her own arm with a swiftness, sitting herself up as she does so—CHRIS ELITE RUSHES BACK TOWARD HER WITH THE ‘BOX OFFICE SMASH’!!
Flannery McCoy: ‘THE DEVIL’S TOUCH’ CATCHES CHRIS ELITE BEFORE HE COULD LEAP!! Minerva with a sudden superkick that is able to greatly disorient Chris Elite here as he’s now stirring in his lonesome, bringing himself back up despite not having the best stance to retort against Minerva! MINERVA PLACES CHRIS INTO POSITION HERE AS SHE LOOKS FOR ‘CLOCKWORK ORANGE’—
Jake Mercer: BUT CHRIS IS FLIPPED OVER AND LANDS ON HER OWN FEET AS MINERVA’S DOWN ON THE MAT—WITH A MOONSAULT LANDING RIGHT ON THE MARK!! Minerva is down as Chris is eagerly backing himself away into the corner, dragging himself up as he landed perfectly but with a price of placing weight on his bad leg!! Minerva is flat on the mat as Chris has no other route to go here, RUSHING FORWARD AND SEEKING OUT ‘HOURS IN SILENCE’!!
Stew-O: A BOOT TO THE BAD LEG!! MINERVA WITH A SUDDEN BOOT THAT CAUSES HIS KNEE TO BUCKLE!! Chris is clutching onto his leg as he’s shaking his own head, keeping himself up on one good leg AS MINERVA QUICKLY BRINGS HIM INTO POSITION—
Flannery McCoy: ‘THE SIREN’S LONELY SONG’!!! CHRIS ELITE IS SPIKED DOWN AS MINERVA HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE WIN!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…. MINERVAAAAAAAA!!!
Jake Mercer: Hell of a main event tonight as two EAW Hall of Famers were able to put up a true clash, which resulted in Minerva doing exactly what she’s been expecting herself to accomplish in victory against Chris Elite.
Flannery McCoy: Chris Elite gave his all here, as both elitists were putting up maneuver after maneuver and even tried targeting one another in specific limbs to assure that they would be broken down, but tonight would be the night where Minerva’s wherewithal secured the win!
Stew-O: After the beating she gave Drake King on the Dynasty prior that ultimately closed out the previous Dynasty, this is another momentum shifter for Minerva as Chris fought strenuously, but the efforts of the former World Champion couldn’t outmatch Minerva today. Congratulations to Minerva, and thank you all for watching Dynasty! See you next week!
(‘Blood, Milk & Sky’ can be heard throughout the speakers as Minerva rises to her feet, with the referee raising her hand in victory. Minerva stands on her own, breathing heavily with a hand over her own shoulder as she gives herself a very brief nod. Chris sits by the apron, disgruntled with defeat as the scene soon fades.)
