(EAW intro plays.)
(A recap of last week’s Dynasty is shown: Cy Henderson calls out Drake Armstrong for his actions, and the two fight briefly before Drake hightails it out of the ring. AIRI Evergarden defeats LILITH. Theron Nikolas addresses Ronan, saying he’s ready to take him on, even if he’s annoyed with this situation between him and Andre Walker. Mig De Decker keeps his streak going by defeating BRAE, even if Ricky may have helped him get his foot on the rope. Michael Machina, NOVA, and Cody Maverick engage in a war of words before Richard Grant and Kensingten Calhoun-Astor come out, announcing that the New Breed Championship match will be contested in a triple-threat match on the go-home edition of Dynasty before Road to Redemption! In the first-round matchup in the eight-Elitist CITV tournament, Shinzo Sasaki is able to defeat Ryan Wilson. Xander Payne comes in and attacks Ryan afterward. Rory Slate cuts a promo saying that she’s going to be the next Specialists Champion. Chris Elite and Prince Tohru ends in a no-contest after KAI-ZEN rushes in and attacks him. However, Joso, who is seen watching the attack unfold backstage, doesn’t come out to help. Ms. Extreme comes out and calls out Milli Banks. The two women get into it, both verbally and physically. Ricky and MITSU talk and Ricky tells him he hasn’t been living up to standards. This places more pressure on MITSU before his match. In the next first-round match in the CITV tournament, Donovan Duke defeats MITSU. Joso is interviewed about his issues with Chris Elite, but he keeps his answers vague, not directly feeding into the rumors, but also absolving himself of any blame. He says that Chris isn’t his responsibility and he isn’t going to be following him around everywhere like a puppy. Hans Grayson is able to defeat Xander Payne in the last qualifying match for the Extreme Elimination Chamber. The Jaded Hearts come on out, looking for another team to step up to them, and it’s La Familia. They don’t take them too seriously but accept their challenge. Drake Armstrong defeats Joso in a controversial fashion, utilizing his ring. The participants for the EEC meet, and things devolve into a brawl as all six men fight each other. In the main event, Cy Henderson defeats Michael Machina, but after the match, Drake emerges and attacks him.)
(With the recap over, Dynasty fades to the live broadcast of the show. Pyrotechnics go off as the camera catches the packed Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene, Oregon! Afterward, the camera captures the Dynasty stage before we dissolve to a shot of Stew-O, Jake Mercer, and Flannery McCoy.)
Stew-O: Three more weeks and Road to Redemption will be here! We are at the halfway point, but the journey doesn’t stop here! EAW Universe, thank you for tuning in on this LIVE edition of FRIDAY NIGHT DYNASTY! I am Stew-O, and as always, I am joined by Jake Mercer and Flannery McCoy!
Jake Mercer: WOOOO!!! I love this time of the year, Stew-O and Flann! Considering all that happened last week, we have some interesting developments heading into this show! From KAI-ZEN, to Drake Armstrong and Cy Henderson’s issues, Milli Banks and Ms. Extreme ready to tear at each other, and even the Elimination Chamber participants got into a crazy scrap! It’s all bleeding into this show, and I’m excited to see what else is in store for us!
Flannery McCoy: It’s been a lot of drama and tension as so many Elitists want to end the year and this portion of the season on the highest note possible. That’s what has made Road to Redemption always compelling. Emotions are heightened, and no one is willing to play nice.
Stew-O: Aside from that, we have the CITV tournament taking place, and tonight, Donovan Duke takes on Shinzo Sasaki to see who will be the first person heading into the finals!
Jake Mercer: Not only that, but we have many matches to look forward to! NOVA and AIRI Evergarden face off with Cody Maverick and the biggest dog of them all Michael Machina at ringside!
Flannery McCoy: You did not just–
Jake Mercer: We ALSO have BRAE taking on Ryan Wilson! Sienna Jade and Luis De La Rosa face off to see who can garner some momentum as the Jaded Hearts and La Familia are set to clash for the tag titles very soon! Then, we have Chris “Bald Bozo” Elite taking on MITSU, bringing the House of Glass vibes back to us!
Flannery McCoy: So now you’re on to hating Chris permanently? Ugh… whatever. At any rate, Milli Banks and Rory Slate are in action against each other as a bit of a House of Glass reunion in their own right. However, Ms. Extreme will be on commentary, and I don’t think she’ll be holding much back. :yikes:
Stew-O: And after that, we have three HUGE matches! Bronson Daniels and Myles face off against Jay Jerry Johnson and Hans Grayson in an EEC preview tag team match! SOSA Henderson and Jake Smith have formed a blood feud with each other in recent weeks and will be going one-on-one! Then, in the main event, Andre Walker takes on Theron Nikolas!
Jake Mercer: THE KAISER HEARD MY PLEAS! :blessed: HE ISN’T LEAVING FOR VOLTAGE YET!
Flannery McCoy: You have the Interwire Champion who once ruled the world has an incredibly-dominant Answers World Champion. You have a former double champion who spent last season, and really, his entire career hoding domain over so many here. They collide tonight, and you definitely don’t want to miss it!
(“Partition (Smearcase Trap Remix)” by Beyonce begins to play and the crowd doesn’t waste a second lighting up into a rowdy reaction for reigning the Universal Women’s Champion! With her half of the Unified Tag Team Championships securely around her waist, Kassidy walks out with the Universal Women’s Championship raised over her head as she comes down the ramp!)
Stephie Love: Please welcome to the ring at this time… she is one half of the Unified Tag Team Champions and the Universal Women’s Champion…. KAAAASSSSSSIIIIIIIDDDDDYYYYYYYY HEEEEEEEEAAAAAAARRRRRRTTTTTTTT!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: YESSSSSIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRR!!! Kassidy Heart is coming back after a successful defense of her Universal Women’s Championship when she defeated Sally and showed why Friday Night Dynasty is housing superior talent :blessed:!!!
Stew-O: Sally gave Kassidy her best shot but Kassidy prevailed in her third defense, only to then be confronted by Minerva, who announced that she’ll be using her Iconic Cup to meet Kassidy at Road to Redemption for the Universal Women’s Championship!
Flannery McCoy: It’s a first-ever one-on-one bout and the stakes couldn’t get any higher than the stage that’s been set! This is a huge match that’s sure to have everyone on the edge of their seats!
(Kassidy enters the ring up the steps and through the ropes, striding across the canvas to call for a microphone that she’s handed from ringside staff before turning back to take her place. Resting the Universal Women’s Championship over her shoulder, Kassidy looks around at the audience in front of her with a smirk on her face as she goes to address the crowd.)
Kassidy Heart: I know I’m supposed to come out here and speak on everything that happened on Sunday Night Voltage, but what could I possibly say that you’re all not already thinking? Because starting from the top, we all fucking know that Sally was never going to be the one to do the unthinkable and unseat me from my reign as the Universal Women’s Champion :mjlol:!! Like, what the hell did anyone think was gonna happen? Just because she spit some disgusting mist into my eyes didn’t mean shit in the grand scheme of things and it was never going to; everyone knew from the beginning that my third title defense was always going to be a successful one. I’m sure seeing me put down Sally didn’t endear me at all to the people who think that I shouldn’t be adding to my mountain of success as it is, but if you all couldn’t tell from the way that I put her away, do you think I give a shit? I mean, I don’t doubt that there were a few moments in the match Sally had probably convinced herself that she actually stood a chance, she gave it her “best” – but we’re living in a reality where I eat, breathe, and personify success like no one but I can and that’s why Voltage went down the way that it did.
Kassidy Heart: Don’t get me wrong – I love being challenged, I loved being pushed so that I can keep showing with the amazing skillset I possess why I’m undeniably going to go down as the greatest in this sport and in turn keep all the bitches praying on my downfall miserable as fuck knowing that I’ll never be the type to just give up my spot at the top no matter how many moments or accolades I amass, but Sally was never gonna be that challenge. But it’s not like she should be disappointed hearing that from me because she’s most definitely far from being alone in that because it’s not like Camille or Miku Sakai were huge challenges themselves. After all, just look how one of them proved to be all bark and hardly any bite when it came down to it, resulting in her being so fucking pressed that she’s resorted to taking all those frustrations out on younger talent; coming to the realization that you’re not the star you used to be and refusing to accept the fact that you’ll never be able to compare to me will do that to people, apparently :mjlol:! It’s actually a fucking shame that I have to stand here and say that my biggest match to date for this Universal Women’s Championship has been with Miku Sakai… and we all know the result of that one as well, which wasn’t at all surprising itself either once it was all said and done. I hate to be the one to say it, but the so-called “competition” that I’ve been facing? It’s getting stale and there hasn’t been a single one of them who’s honestly left me looking forward to talking about them after the fact once I’m through beating the hell out of them.
(Sections of the crowd disagree, with boos ringing out from audience members who are no doubt fans of the likes of Ms. Extreme and Miku Sakai. But with Kassidy, she makes no exceptions on what she thinks when it comes to the competitors that she’s faced. Unbothered by the reaction, she shrugs her shoulders and continues on.)
Kassidy Heart: I’m easily one of the greatest to ever walk down the aisle to get into this ring and that’s absolutely not an exaggeration in the slightest, so I truly can’t wrap my head around the fact that these girls seemingly can’t bring themselves to step their game up even to TRY to match me on my level and make it a worthwhile event for me. I mean, I know I’ve transcended levels well out of their reach but that’s certainly not stopping them from attempting to get creative even as they know they’re walking into their imminent defeat, and thinking outside the box to prove they’re even somewhat worth the shit they talk before they’re put down. It’s otherwise disappointing that the women I’ve faced off against so far weren’t all that different from each other in one way or another, and as much as I don’t wanna say so, it looks as though I have the same questions pertaining to what I could possibly get out of Minerva.
(Larger portions of the crowd break out into cheers at the mention of Minerva and Kassidy lets them have their moment, but not without motioning for them to get it out of their systems as the reaction was seemingly expected by her. Shaking her head with the same smirk she’d come out with, Kassidy finally reclaims control of the situation as she speaks again.)
Kassidy Heart: I know I’m all about my success, but I’m not oblivious to what goes on around me and I’m certainly not unaware of people saying the idea of myself versus Minerva is a dream match. I can understand why, though, because Minerva has been successful in her own right and I’m not gonna deny that. But as far as I’m concerned? Minerva is no Mauler, she’s no Kassidy Heart. Keep in mind, people were saying the same thing about Jamie O’Hara versus Kassidy Heart and plenty more where I crushed their dreams of beating me. Sure, it was super kewt seeing Minerva become the first two-time Iconic Cup winner but let’s remember that I was making and continue to make history well before her – and that’s why I can’t help but feel some pity for someone like her because it’s so clear to me that she’s going to end up wasting that Iconic Cup. It’s truly one of the most naive things she could’ve done with the opportunity she has, going down this respectful route of wanting to face me at 100% and at my best because it’s not like that works out for too many people ever. If anything, Minerva stood an honest to Gawd better chance of using that Cup the same way we both did in the past because going toe-to-toe with me the way that she intends to? It’ll be devastating for her. I don’t doubt that there are people out there who honestly believe that she’ll be the one to end me, but she isn’t the first one who’s been propped up as the one who’ll kill the king, so I’m really looking forward to proving that there wasn’t a thing that was going to change when it comes to her.
(Kassidy nods her head reassuringly until “Blood, Milk & Sky” by White Zombie begins to play and the EAW Universe in attendance responds with a roar of cheers! Kassidy’s head snaps toward the stage anticipating the Iconic Cup holder’s arrival along with everyone else and Minerva makes her way out from the back, Iconic Cup in one hand and a microphone in the other.)
Jake Mercer: :lupe:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Minerva looks around with a smirk, first to the crowd and then to Kassidy as she finally sets her sights back upon the Champion.)
Minerva: You can go ahead and calm down, I didn’t suddenly change my mind about how I plan to use this Iconic Cup.
Kassidy Heart: Did I ever for a second look worried to you?
(Minerva chuckles, expecting nothing less from the likes of Kassidy Heart.)
Minerva: Actually, what I will say is that I think I’ve heard just about enough out of you for the night so far, because from the way you were going on, Kassidy, I’m not sure if you were trying to convince everyone watching or yourself more of the way a match between the two of us would go. I didn’t know if I wanted to be amused and laugh or if I wanted to look at this as your way of putting on a brave face knowing I can change it all for you because for as successful as you’ve been, even you should know not to get ahead of yourself against competition such as myself who’s been hungry to strike.
Kassidy Heart: “A brave face”? Minerva, remember good and well who the hell it is you’re questioning right now because if there’s one thing about me that you should know, it’s that I sure as hell don’t ever have to fake my confidence for anyone or anything. Besides, the only way you’re changing anything for me as far as my reign is concerned is if you take what I’m saying to heart and go back on your word of how you intend to use the Iconic Cup.
Minerva: So, it’s just the same pure ego talking then? Good to know that for all your apparent boredom with your latest competition, your attitude’s the same as it’s ever been. But either way, I’m hearing you out here running your mouth and going on about how you’re going to do this, that, and the other to me and my intentions of winning the Universal Women’s Championship again, and it sounds like rampant overconfidence when you should know better. I’m not at all like the other women that you’ve faced which you know for a fact and I’ve accomplished as much as you have to have solidified myself as a top competitor, and it’d do you well to remember that before you go getting any further carried away.
Kassidy Heart: And I’m supposed to do what with that information? Doubt myself? Gonna have to pass on that one :mjlol:!!! I know you’ve succeeded plenty and I’ve acknowledged that, but it’s all nothing that would have me questioning myself or my abilities to defeat you in this ring on literally any given night.
Minerva: “Any given night”, huh? Kassidy, you’re good, you’re great, you’ve had an amazingly accomplished career – but even you know that doesn’t mean you’re unbeatable. Keep going the way that you are with me and that ego of yours is sure to be your downfall… the same way that it was against TLA, the same way that it was against Andrea Valentine just last year at Pain for Pride.
(Kassidy rolls her eyes, hardly looking fazed and she sighs as she collects her thoughts.)
Kassidy Heart: Really? Bringing TLA and Andrea into this as some kinda “gotcha” to fuck with me is kinda desperate and pathetic, even for you, Minerva. Are you really gonna bring them up just to try to mess with me? It won’t work to get me mad-
Minerva: This isn’t mind games, Kassidy, but rather the simplest warning I could possibly think to give you ahead of Road to Redemption. I’m not here to rile you up or get you angry, there’d be plenty of other ways to achieve that and we both know it, but I’d say I’m doing you a favor in pointing out that recurring fatal flaw that’s rearing its ugly head and giving you the chance to get your act together before I become a two-time Universal Women’s Champion. I’d expect nothing less than a confident Kassidy Heart but to come out here the way that you are and even question whether I could step up as the competition you’re looking for or not says quite a bit, but we both know it’ll say even more when I’m holding that Championship after I beat you.
Kassidy Heart: You can’t really blame me for wondering, can you? You said you were hungry to strike but instead of the ruthless Minerva who went after Raven Roberts like she was out for blood, I’m getting this version of you who cares about how her ideal win – which is gonna turn out to be a monumental loss, by the way – is perceived by everyone else. Believe me when I say that what’s gonna be remembered now after Road to Redemption won’t be what you think is your honorable decision to give me advance notice of a match, it damn sure won’t be your idea of morality – it’ll be your defeat.
Minerva: Maybe none of that will be the first thing to come to people’s minds about what went down at Road to Redemption, Kassidy, you could be right about that. Because what I’m going to make sure they remember? Is how I’ll have promised to be the one to rip that Universal Women’s Championship away and take it to hold over your unconscious body at my feet, while the only one getting exposed for having been naive about my chances will have been you.
(Minerva and Kassidy stare each other down from their respective positions at the stage and the ring, as “Blood, Milk & Sky” by White Zombie starts to play into the arena again with the crowd absolutely buzzing!)
Stew-O: Definitely some loaded words in that exchange we just witnessed between Kassidy Heart and Minerva tonight!
Flannery McCoy: Plenty of implications getting thrown around here as far as Minerva insinuating that Kassidy’s overcompensating for the clock ticking down toward Road to Redemption and Kassidy suggesting that Minerva’s consideration for the perception of her use of the Iconic Cup this time around could cost her! But if you ask me, it sounds like even more of a reason for both of these women to go all out when they finally meet one-on-one for the first time at Road to Redemption!
Jake Mercer: Kassidy’s gonna hold it down for Dynasty at Road to Redemption just like she did this past Voltage, I can guarantee it! 😤 #DynastyGang! 💯💯💯
Stew-O: That remains to be seen, but I believe we’re just scratching the surface so far with these two, and there’s no doubt that these two women are going to put on a must-see match that no one is going to want to miss!
(The final shot is a split-screen of Minerva and Kassidy still staring each other down before the scene fades out.)
(A commercial is shown for Road To Redemption.)
Stephie Love: This match is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(“Zettai Zetsumei” by Cö Shu Nie hits the speakers as AIRI Evergarden makes her way out from the backstage area. She strikes a pose on the ramp before continuing on with her entrance.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… From Shiba, Japan… Weighing in at 170 lbs… The Apotheosis… AIIIIRIIIIII EVERGARDEEEEEENNN!
Stew-O: Now here’s an elitist to keep your eyes on! The Apotheosis managed to pick up a debut victory against Lilith last week, and she has an even bigger opportunity tonight by facing one of the contenders for the New Breed Championship!
Jake Mercer: Don’t have to tell me twice! AIRI doesn’t just rely on her high-octane offense, she combines it with thought-out strategy! I’d hate to get on her bad side.
(‘Sun Killer’ by Spiritbox begins to play through the speakers as NOVA comes out with an intense expression on his face. He glares down the ramp at AIRI Evergarden with a vengeful scowl as he storms down the ramp towards the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing second… WEIGHING IN AT 190 POUNDS….NOOOOOOOVAAAAAA!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: The enigma known as NOVA is heading into this match with full focus! Both he and Cody Maverick received a guarantee for a title shot right before Road to Redemption, so there’s no doubt that NOVA will want to pick up steam here!
Stew-O: With both of the other members of the upcoming New Breed Championship match at ringside, he has no choice; not that he had any thoughts of going easy on AIRI. As it turns out, NOVA and AIRI have a shared past, and NOVA holds a grudge against AIRI for the damage she’s caused to his friends before they even came to Elite Answers Wrestling! Will he be able to get his revenge and gather momentum?
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Flannery McCoy: And the match is underway! AIRI looks to be going for the first attack of the match as she bursts out of her corner with intense speed and attempts a running back elbow right off the bat!
Stew-O: But NOVA is able to use his agility to duck under before it can land! He immediately turns around and begins unleashing a barrage of knife-edge chops against the Apotheosis!
Jake Mercer: We’re seeing NOVA more aggressive and motivated than ever here! Chop after chop after chop! This is a man not only with something to prove, but with a lot of baggage against his opponent that he finally gets a chance to unleash!
Stew-O: AIRI’s been pushed into the corner, and now NOVA speeds across the ring and bounces off the opposite corner to gain momentum! He’s hurtling towards AIRI at breakneck pace and looking for a running corner clothesline! Just LOOK at his amazing speed!
Jake Mercer: Ah, but NEVER count AIRI out! She evades the attack and uses NOVA’s own tremendous momentum against him as he collides with the corner turnbuckle! No matter how much you’ve thought about it, AIRI is always thinking a few steps ahead!
Flannery McCoy: And it looks like she’s getting some payback with some knife-edge chops of her own! You can just feel the impact by how loud her chops are!
Stew-O: But now she’s switching things up, forcefully turning her opponent around and launching him out of the corner with a perfectly executed German suplex!
Jake Mercer: It all makes sense as she’s getting NOVA away from the ropes so she can go for a pin attempt right off the suplex and seeing if she can keep her opponent down!
OOOOOONEEEEEEEEE!
Stew-O: But it wasn’t enough! NOVA is not a man to be underestimated, and a pin this early may work on some but certainly not on a title contender like him. With the experiences he’s gone through with the cult from his past, one can only imagine how resilient NOVA must have grown as a result! AIRI has a look like she knew it wouldn’t be enough, but she doesn’t let it get to her.
Flannery McCoy: Instead, she steps back and waits for NOVA to get up, just to LAUNCH him backwards with a sudden running dropkick! Both boots of the promising elitist just drove into NOVA’s chest like a bullet!
Jake Mercer: It’s funny you should mention bullets, because Michael Machina is watching this match as closely as he can, alongside Cody Maverick; both men’s presence can be felt as they hover around ringside. Cody, of course, throws the occasional verbal jab at NOVA and even Machina whenever he gets the urge.
Flannery McCoy: They won’t have to do anything here, though, as NOVA is in a supine position near a corner, and AIRI’s eyes widen as she spots an opportunity. The high-flying specialist gets a grin on her face like she’s having the time of her life as she speeds straight to the apron and starts climbing up to the top rope!
Stew-O: She’s perched up high and sees her target down below! AIRI takes to the sky as naturally as a bird before she plummets down with an elegant form, looking to FLATTEN her opponent with a frog splash!
Jake Mercer: BUT NO! NOVA managed to roll away just in time, leaving AIRI to crash and burn with the failed frog splash; the pain is evident on her face as she clutches her abdomen in agony from the impact!
Flannery McCoy: NOVA gets back to his feet as he senses the shifting tides of the match! He quickly turns AIRI onto her back, leaving that abdomen exposed for a follow up! The enigmatic high-flyer rushes to the ropes and leaps onto the middle set, LAUNCHING himself off and flipping in mid-air to land on AIRI’s gut with a springboard moonsault!
Stew-O: That’s GOT to hurt! But NOVA isn’t done with AIRI as he still seems to have a lot of aggression to unleash here! He immediately picks her up and grabs at her head and arm, before PLANTING her with a sudden snap suplex!
Jake Mercer: You can say that again, and NOVA has the same idea as he forces her back up and executes yet ANOTHER snap suplex! The ring itself seemed to shake with how intensely NOVA slammed her down! Both his power and agility are on full display here as he grapples just as masterfully as he flies!
Stew-O: We just saw that power, but now the agility is making another appearance as NOVA leaps and contorts himself in mid-air, flipping backwards as he propels forwards to land on AIRI with a standing shooting star press! You name a type of flip and I’m sure NOVA can do it perfectly on his first try! AND NOW HE GOES FOR THE PIN!
OOOOOOOOONNEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Flannery McCoy: BUT AIRI KICKS OUT! The Apotheosis won’t be going down in her second match if she has anything to say about it! NOVA looks to be frustrated at AIRI’s resilience… but the frustration quickly gets channeled back into the match as he gets back to his feet and measures AIRI up!
Jake Mercer: AIRI’s midsection has been through a good amount of damage so far, both front and back, but she seems to be pushing through the pain as she staggers back to her feet! NOVA brings his foot back AND GOES FOR THE ROUNDHOUSE KICK BRAINBUSTER! RELEASE FROM THE WORLD, A SIGNATURE MOVE OF HIS!
Stew-O: AIRI MAY BE HURT BUT HER MIND IS AS SHARP AS EVER! She catches NOVA’s leg before it can connect and immediately goes for the dragon screw leg whip! It’s amazing how quickly the momentum can shift in the sport of professional wrestling, and you can see all this action and more on Disney+ for just $7.99 a month!
Flannery McCoy: With this brief moment of respite as NOVA clutches at his leg, you can see AIRI’s cogs turning in her head as she looks around and formulates a strategy! Not letting NOVA get any more rest than she can, AIRI quickly picks him back up and spins around, knocking him silly with a spinning back fist!
Stew-O: The momentum gained with that single spin can do so much damage! NOVA staggers back into the corner in a vulnerable position as the Apotheosis lurches forward and follows up with a nasty superkick for good measure!
Flannery McCoy: She grabs a hold of NOVA’s wrist and pulls him out of the corner before Irish whipping him across the ring to the ropes! He rebounds and is forced towards her as she catches him and turns him inside out with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker!
Jake Mercer: Look at the way he’s arching his back, you just know he felt that down to his spine! He rolls away, almost encouraged by AIRI it seems as she pushes him in a particular direction with her feet, eventually getting NOVA onto the apron.
Stew-O: AIRI has a devious grin on her face as NOVA uses leverage from the ropes to stagger back onto his feet right on the apron! The Apotheosis hits the ropes and rushes swiftly towards her opponent before turning mid-sprint and hitting a spinning back elbow!
Flannery McCoy: The attack sent NOVA falling off the apron and down to ringside, where Cody Maverick and Michael Machina are standing nearby! Machina stands silent with an intense scowl, staring at his challenger with a calculated expression on his face; on the other hand, Cody immediately takes to insulting NOVA with a loud voice, leading to some of the nearby fans to cheer his charisma and others booing his cocky attitude!
Jake Mercer: With all the attention centered around the three New Breed Championship competitors, nobody noticed as AIRI went back to hit the ropes and pick up some major speed! She sprints as quickly as she can towards the ropes before LAUNCHING her body between the top and middle ones! With a tremendous suicide dive, the Apotheosis collides full-force with NOVA!
Stew-O: The impact of the high-flying maneuver sent NOVA into BOTH of his nearby opponents, causing both of them to fall back and hit the barricade! The tension led to them being so close that they weren’t able to avoid the shockwaves of AIRI’s maneuver at all!
Flannery McCoy: With both of NOVA’s future competitors looking pretty angry at NOVA colliding with them, AIRI forced NOVA back into the ring! He went rolling as soon as he was put back into the squared circle, giving him some distance as AIRI made her way back in as well!
Jake Mercer: AIRI approached NOVA with malicious intent as he only managed to get back to a kneeling position; that leg of his still seems to have a bit of an ache due to AIRI’s earlier dragon screw leg whip! Not to worry, though, as the Apotheosis herself helped NOVA to his feet only to boot him in the gut and underhook both of his arms!
Stew-O: She looks to be trying to lift NOVA up for the Eternal Shrill Threnody maneuver, intending to plant him face-first right onto the mat! But NOVA is struggling and fighting back with all of his might, knowing intuitively just how dangerous the situation is!
Flannery McCoy: He’s finally able to get out of the predicament, spinning his arms out and forcing AIRI Evergarden to release her grip! As they both spun out of their shared position, NOVA immediately thrust his other leg out and gave AIRI a superkick of his own! She held her jaw as she staggered back in a daze, not properly braced to tank a blow like that!
Jake Mercer: She’ll wish she did, though, as she staggers back into a corner with NOVA approaching quickly! He leaps up and knocks her silly with a vicious enzuigiri to the side of the head- but wait, he’s not done! He spun around and NAILED her with a roundhouse kick! IS HE GOING FOR-
Stew-O: HE IS! AS SOON AS THAT ROUNDHOUSE LANDED, HE GRABBED HER HEAD AND LIFTED HER UP, PLANTING HER WITH A BRAINBUSTER BEFORE SHE COULD RESPOND! RELEASE FROM THE WORLD!
Flannery McCoy: PERHAPS NOT THE WORLD, BUT AIRI MAY BE RELEASED FROM THIS MATCH IN A MATTER OF MOMENTS! NOVA IS CLIMBING UP TO THE TOP ROPE! WHAT’S HE GOING FOR HERE?!
Jake Mercer: NO, LOOK! NOVA’S HEAD IS TURNED AWAY FROM AIRI! IT’S CODY, HE’S ANGRILY MOUTHING OFF AT NOVA FOR THE WAY HE CRASHED INTO HIM EARLIER WHEN AIRI HIT THE SUICIDE DIVE!
Stew-O: CODY’S PRESENCE HAS THE REFEREE AND NOVA BOTH DISTRACTED, BUT LOOK AT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING! MICHAEL MACHINA IS GETTING UP ON THE APRON AND HE LOOKS INFURIATED WITH NOVA FOR THE SAME REASON AS CODY!
Jake Mercer: MACHINA’S TEMPER LOOKS TO BE DRIVING HIM FORWARD AS HE YANKS NOVA’S LEG, CAUSING HIM TO LAND IN A BAD WAY ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! THE REFEREE DIDN’T SEE IT DUE TO CODY’S INADVERTENT DISTRACTION!
Flannery McCoy: NOW LOOK AT AIRI! ALL THIS HAS GIVEN HER TIME TO RECUPERATE AND GET BACK TO HER FEET! SHE LOOKS AT THE MESS SHE CAUSED WITH HER SUICIDE DIVE WITH A SMILE ON HER FACE! DID SHE PLAN THIS?!
Stew-O: SHE VERY WELL MAY HAVE, BECAUSE SHE’S TAKING ADVANTAGE! WITH NOVA BENT OVER ON TOP OF THE TURNBUCKLE, AIRI IS ABLE TO LIFT HIM OFF OF IT IN A VERTICAL SUPLEX POSITION!
Jake Mercer: BUT SHE’S NOT GOING FOR A SUPLEX! SHE TWISTS HIM MID-AIR AND DRIVES HIM DOWN! IT’S A PILEDRIVER! IT’S THE 3RD IMPACT! NOVA WAS SENT HEAD-FIRST INTO THE MAT!
Flannery McCoy: NOT LIKE THIS! SHE’S GOING FOR THE PIN!
OOOOOOOONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… The Apotheosis… AIIIIRIIIIII EEEVVEEERGARDEEEEEENNN!
Jake Mercer: I told you from the start, AIRI Evergarden is a genius strategist! She saw Machina and Maverick at ringside and knew how to use the surroundings to her advantage!
Stew-O: A brilliant effort by NOVA who had victory in his grasp, but unfortunately it was not meant to be! Cody and Machina are staring daggers at each other and NOVA as he clutches his head in pain!
Flannery McCoy: With that, AIRI Evergarden has managed to pick up her second pin in Elite Answers Wrestling, and against a title contender at that! This spells great things for the Apotheosis! But with the rapidly escalating tension in the New Breed Championship scene, how will this all go down on the Fury before Road to Redemption?
Stew-O: You’ll have to tune in to find out if Machina will be able to retain his championship against a surely vengeful NOVA and an incredibly determined Cody Maverick!
(AIRI gets up from the pin as the referee raises her hand in victory. Her theme song fills up the arena as she smirks due to her masterful tactics. She slowly makes her way to the back with the camera panning to the three future competitors glaring at each other before the cameras fade to black.)
(A commercial is shown for the portable Playstation 5.)
Stephie Love: The following match is scheduled for one fall…
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(”My Way” by Limp Bizkit plays to a largely positive reaction from fans, as Ryan Wilson makes his way to the ring, fired up. Ryan high-fives a few fans while sauntering down the ramp, but once he gets to the end, closes his eyes, and takes a deep breath before heading to the steel steps.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! Hailing out of Montréal, Québec, Canada, weighing in at 220 pounds…RYAN WILSON!!
(His music fades, and music gets replaced by his music fades, and music gets replaced by “Dragon Fly” by Shaman’s Harvest plays throughout the arena, BRAE draped in his Irish flag walks down the ramp — with an angry scowl and hostility in his eyes.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM BRAY COUNTY, IRELAND…WEIGHTING IN AT 267 IBS…“THE WARRIOR KING” BRRRRRRAAAAAAAEEEEE!!!”
(DING! DING! DING!)
Flannery McCoy: Two men with drastically different personalities, competing in what should be a hard-hitting bout. Brae going in for a lock BUT RYAN SLIPPING BEHIND HIM. Gripping the waist, trying to keep him under control! It’s like keeping a Brahma bull steady. BRAE RAMMING HIMSELF BACKWARDS INTO THE CORNER! Case proved, breaking that hold in the most aggressive way possible!
Jake Mercer: Brae is a lot more dangerous than before, after what transpired not too long ago on Dynasty last week. He is looking to take that anger out on Ryan, trying to send him a message that he nor anyone would forget. Taking Ryan by the arm and pulling him out of the corner— INTO A CLOTHESLINE! Ryan getting knocked on his back, this isn’t looking good starting off this matchup! When you’re in a match like this, you always want to be the first to take control, or else your opponent is going to use his offense to cause as much pain as possible.
Stew-O: BRAE is known for his aggression and strength out the gate, making sure that when he fights an opponent they aren’t able to fight back. Scooping Ryan up and RAMMING HIS BACK INTO THE CORNER AGAIN! THEN RUNNING BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE RING WITH A BODY SLAM! Usually, he would taunt his opponent but he looked focused, not wanting to give Ryan even an inch of breathing room. LOOK AT HIM HOPING BACK ON HIM, CHOKING HIM WITH A HEADLOCK! KEEPING HIM ON THE GROUND!
Flannery McCoy: Ryan is trying his best to fight out of it but BRAE’s massive arms are keeping him down! The ropes are too far out of his reach! BRAE is choking the life out of him. Face a turning a different shade, BRAE is looking to put him to sleep! WAIT! LISTEN TO THIS CROWD! Chanting Ryan’s name! These people have always been behind Ryan and they aren’t about to give up on him now! LOOK AT THE RESILIENCE, RYAN IS SLOWLY RISING TO HIS FEET! ELBOW AFTER ELBOW TO THE MIDSECTION! BRAE NOT LETTING GO, BRAE WANTS TO MAKE SURE HE— THE HOLD IS BROKEN!
Jake Mercer: RYAN IS FIGHTING BACK! Slamming the forearm to the chin of BRAE! Making him stumble backward! Ryan is bringing that heart, that fight to BRAE! Running off the ropes— INTO A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE BY BRAE KNOCKING HIM DOWN! Ryan is no stranger to tough competition but you know that he is dreading this match with BRAE, any sort of offense seems to get shut down just as quickly as it starts. BRAE is a master of stopping his opponents before they can even get their foot off the ground. Start calling him the killer of hope.
Stew-O: BRAE grabs Ryan by the hair and swings him into the corner! NOW THROWING HEAVY BODY SHOTS! RIGHTS AND LEFTS! PUNCHES LIKE THAT IS WHAT KILLED HOUDINI! The referee finally stepped into the anger of BRAE, who seemed to be directing his focus at the referee! GRABBING HIM BY THE COLLAR! THIS COULD LEAD TO A DISQUALIFICATION IF HE ISN’T CAREFUL!
Flannery McCoy: It seems like he coming to his senses and focusing back on Ryan- OH RYAN WITH A KICK TO THE FACE! Sending BRAE backward, grabbing his jawline! Ryan taking advantage, climbing the second rope, and HOPPING FORWARD! GOING FOR THE TORNADO DDT— WAIT HE GETS CAUGHT IN MIDAIR BY BRAE! SHOWING OFF HIS STRENGTH AS HE HOLDS RYAN IN THE AIR!
Stew-O: TOSSING HIM FORWARD, RYAN LANDS ON HIS FEET! BRAE WASTING NO TIME GOING FOR THE BROGUE KICK! RYAN QUICKLY DUCKS IT— ROLLING UP BRAE!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
THE—
Jake Mercer: BRAE MANAGES TO KICK OUT! Ryan getting back to his feet, BRAE trying to regroup charging at Ryan— BUT RYAN PICKS BRAE UP— STUN GUN ON THE ROPES! GETTING BEHIND HIM AND— NAILING HIM WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! BRIDGING INTO A PIN! THIS MIGHT BE IT!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
THREE—
Stew-O: ANOTHER KICK OUT BY BRAE! Ryan is throwing everything he can at BRAE but BRAE is just too stubborned to stay down! But that hasn’t stopped Ryan before. Ryan climbs the top rope, looking down at BRAE— LEAPING OFF THE TOP ROPE LOOKING FOR A FROG SPLASH! BRAE GETS HIS KNEES UP!
Jake Mercer: RYAN ROLLING ON THE GROUND IN PAIN! BRAE is a shark that smells of blood in the water! Getting back to his feet, keeping his eyes locked on Ryan! This is bad, BRAE getting into the corner looking for the finish…RYAN GETTING UP! HE MIGHT WANT TO STAY DOWN!
Flannery McCoy: MORRIGAN! BRAE HITS THE— WAIT HE MISSES! SIDESTEPPING OUT OF THE WAY! RYAN GRABS BRAE— LIFTING HIM UP FOR THE “LA BOMBE BLEU”! THE BLUE THUNDER BOMB! BRAE LOOKED STUNNED! HE DOESN’T KNOW WHERE IS IS AT! RYAN PICKS BRAE UP AND GETS HIM UP IN POSITION FOR THE “MIC DROP”— HE HITS IT! GOING FOR THE PIN!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
THREE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…RYAN WILSON!
Stew-O: Ryan manages to pick up a victory against the “Warrior King” BRAE! Not without walking out with some bruises, BRAE fought hard and there were moments where I thought that he had Ryan’s number but the experience really showed in this match.
Flannery McCoy: Ryan just managed to find every counter for BRAE’s aggressive offense, amazing showing by both of these competitors!
(BRAE heads out of the ring and up the ramp with his head low, while Ryan on the other hand doesn’t seem to be through. He makes his way over to the edge of the ring, taking a microphone from the ringside area as he approaches the center of the ring. He signals for ‘My Way’ to come to a close as he begins to speak.)
Ryan Joseph Wilson: Oregon, I don’t plan to take up much of your time. I’m not going to go on a whole spiel to start this off because you saw what happened last week, and needless to say I am tired of Xander Payne. I beat him once at House of Glass, and now he’s asking for more like I won’t do it again, I feel like at this point there’s no need to play these games with him. So I request one thing and one thing only tonight, it’s that Xander comes out and meets me in the ring, and we can talk this out like men.
(Ryan lowers his microphone and turns toward the stage, waiting for Xander to make his way out. After some time, with the crowd murmuring in confusion, it doesn’t seem like the Hall of Famer has any interest in that. Ryan shakes his head, bringing his microphone up again.)
Ryan Joseph Wilson: Come on, Xander! We don’t have all day, come out here-
(Ryan is stopped as commotion is heard through the speakers. The titantron then switches from the Dynasty graphics to a scene taking place away from the arena. The camera is seen following a hooded figure as they make their way through a large field with the pitch-black night sky in the background. The person turns around as it’s revealed to be none other than…)
Xander Payne: Ryan, you’re a fool if you think I was going to be there this week. Do you think I’m playing by your rules? Abiding by your demands? Far from it, you’re running on my time. You have been considering you’re still indebted to me for making your career, making you the person that you are today. You think that I’m the one who needs to get over it, but you have to understand just how wrong it is for someone like you to win over me. You’re going to keep holding it above my head, use it for a reason as to why you’re beyond me, well you’re WRONG. What happened last week was my boiling point, and I decided that there was no point in trying to entertain you anymore. Tonight, I want to show you just how serious I am about putting an end to you once and for all.
Ryan Joseph Wilson: This is pathetic, Xander. What point are you trying to make by not meeting me inside of the ring? The only point that you’re proving by running away from me is that you’re not confident in your abilities, and that loss at House of Glass cut so deep that it obscured your moral compass and forced you to make the mistake of trying again. You say that things are going to be different if we face each other in the ring again? Well, time has shown a much different side of things, and the only thing you’re doing is beating a dead horse when I should’ve been long done with this DOMINION bullshit. You’re not doing a great job trying to convince me why you deserve another match. Where even are you right now?
Xander Payne: That’s a good question…
(The camera pans further away from Xander to set the scene.)
[SCREENBAR: MONTRÉAL, QUÉBEC, CANADA]
(Ryan’s eyes widen as he sees that Xander is standing right outside of his residence in Montréal. Xander lifts his hand and rests the metal baseball bat that he has in it on his shoulder, a smirk on his face.)
Xander Payne: I’ll admit, it was hard to figure out what could get under your skin, Ryan. I didn’t know very much about you beyond what was known in the realm of professional wrestling. You keep your personal life very tight-knit, Ryan, and maybe it’s to make sure incidents like these are prevented. But then I remembered, back during your time on the Showdown brand, when your dearest mother Magdalena Wilson was caught in the crossfire of your grueling rivalry with Ronan Malosi. That poor lady was put through hell all because of your irresponsibility.
Ryan Joseph Wilson: Xander…
Xander Payne: I’m not done. I know you take good care of her, Ryan, and make sure that she never has to have her hands in the wrestling business again so that incidents like these don’t have to occur. But sometimes… things like these need to happen, so lessons can be learned. I didn’t want it to get to this point, Ryan, but in the end, I want you to know that I regret nothing. I want you to know just how far I’m willing to go to prove it.
(Xander reels the bat back, striking the mailbox outside his house as he demolishes it. He then turns around and begins to walk to the entrance of his house, Ryan is pacing around inside the ring, there’s absolutely nothing he can do.)
Xander Payne: So I found out where you lived, Ryan. But simply demolishing your house wouldn’t be enough to get the point across, nothing money can’t fix, but what it truly can’t is true emotional harm. Now Magdalena Wilson happens to live under your roof, Ryan, and she does a very good job taking care of your 8-year-old niece, Sophia, doesn’t she? I apologize because it should be way past her bedtime, but unfortunately, I don’t care.
Ryan Joseph Wilson: YOU LAY A HAND ON THEM-
Xander Payne: Shhhhhhhh, we’ve heard enough out of you, Ryan.
(Xander digs into his pocket, pulling out a pair of spare keys, presumably to the front entrance to the house, who knows how he got it? He unlocks the door, slowly creaking it open as he looks around, to see the entrance area and along with that the living room empty. Xander grinds his teeth and shakes his head.)
Xander Payne: Seems like everyone has filed out. That’s a shame, I was hoping to have some fun. Now I know I said property damage is nothing money can’t fix, but I’ll admit, all of this happens to be very tempting…
(Xander heads to an area where all of Ryan’s accomplishments are seen. Numerous Championships from other companies, along with the prominent glimmer of the New Breed Championship and right next to it, his 2020 Feud of The Year award. Xander takes the entire trophy display case…)
(CRASH!)
(Completely tipping it over and slamming it to the ground, glass exploding everywhere as the accomplishments get crushed under the debris. Xander takes his baseball bat and slams it repeatedly against the damage for good measure, looking up at the camera.)
Xander Payne: You won’t be needing that trophy case anyway. After you lost your meal ticket, it’s not like you were going to win anything else in this company.
(Xander shrugs. He then makes his way over to a separate area, where multiple pictures are seen. Photos of Ryan and his family, multiple moments throughout his professional wrestling career, and a specific photo that Xander picks out of the bunch, which is a photo of his trainer Sebastien Primeau. Xander doesn’t say anything, simply dropping it down to the ground, and slamming his foot straight into it, shattering the glass that encased it. Ryan is seen furious in the ring, with that taking a huge blow on him given the sentimental value that Xander Payne right now is throwing away.)
Xander Payne: Now this is fun and all but-
(The sound of a door slamming on the second floor of the house is faintly heard. Xander smirks, as all the emotion flushes out of Ryan’s face.)
Xander Payne: That’s a shame.
(Xander then makes his way over to the stairs, beginning to head up slowly as loud creaking is heard while he does so.)
Ryan Joseph Wilson: XANDER-
Xander Payne: Be quiet, Ryan, wouldn’t want them to hear you!
(Xander then finally makes his way to the top floor, practically toying with Ryan and his emotions right now. He looks around in the dark hallway, with the lights conveniently shut off. But one room has a glimmer of light cracking through, which instantly piques Xander’s attention. He makes his way over to the door, slowly twisting the knob and creaking it open…)
Xander Payne: Why hello there!
(Xander opens the door to see a startled Sophia Wilson press up against the corner of her bed. She has her tablet out as she’s fearful at the sight of someone who is a stranger to her. Xander slowly makes his way into the room.)
Xander Payne: You must be Ryan’s niece, do you know me?
Sophia Wilson: N-N-No…
Xander Payne: Aw, that’s a shame, I thought Ryan would’ve told you about me. He and I go way back, you can call us… work buddies.
(Sophia starts to calm down as Xander reassures her of his presence. Ryan though, can’t believe what he’s seeing. He’s had enough as he quickly rolls out of the ring, rushes to the backstage area, and takes out his phone, trying to make a call to anyone to try and help the situation. The crowd murmurs in confusion while this happens, equally uncomfortable about all of this right now.)
Xander Payne: Do you trust me?
(Sophia doesn’t have a verbal response, quickly shaking her head.)
Xander Payne: You know who didn’t trust me, your uncle Ryan. He didn’t trust me, and look at the situation we’re in now…
(CRACK!)
(Xander takes the baseball bat and smashes Sophia’s toys with it, Sophia giving a high-pitched shriek as he desecrates her room.)
Xander Payne: WHY DON’T YOU TRUST ME?!
???: THAT IS ENOUGH!
(Something is heard slowly wheeling in as Xander turns over to see Magdalena Wilson roll in on her wheelchair. She has an angry look on her face as she slowly manages to muster out the strength to get out of her wheelchair and stand up.)
Magdalena Wilson: I don’t know what issues you have with my son, but you have done enough. You may leave now.
(Xander turns around, dropping the baseball bat down to the ground as she approaches Magdalena, getting in her face.)
Xander Payne: You think I’m intimidated by some old woman?
Magdalena Wilson: No, but you will be once you see what my son does to you when he finds out about this.
Xander Payne: That’s the problem, he already knows. He’s thousands of miles away, just begging anyone to help him, but he knows that there’s nothing he can do. He watched me, and I bet he’s still watching right now, I could only imagine the mental anguish that he’s going through… and that’s good. This is exactly what I wanted out of him.
Magdalena Wilson: This isn’t a game, I will contact the police.
Xander Payne: No worries, I won’t be here for much longer, I think I’ve already proven my point. It’s been fun, Magdalena. Oops…
(Xander “accidentally” leans forward and presses her hands against Magdalena before shoving her back! She loses control and is sent back to a seated position in her wheelchair, it nearly tipping over but only managing to slowly roll away. Xander has a sneer on his face as he turns and begins to make his way out of the house, with that being the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty from there begins to fade out.)
(A commercial is shown for The Marvels, in theatres now.)
Stephie Love: This match is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(The lights begin to flash as ‘Unfuckwithable’ by Deez Nutz begins to blast all throughout the arena. A few moments pass as Sienna Jade emerges as she poses for the camera. Sienna then turns around and shows off her leather jacket with the letters, “UNFUCKWITHABLE” attached. She turns and begins to stride down the ramp, towards the ring. Once in the ring, Sienna goes to the nearest turnbuckle and poses once more.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, from Calgary Alberta, Canada… Weighing in at 135 lbs… Unfuckwithable… SIENNAAAA JAAAAAAAADDDEEEEEEEEEEE!
Flannery McCoy: And here comes someone who doesn’t need any introductions! One half of the Unified Tag Team Champions with Kassidy Heart as Jaded Hearts! Tonight, looking to keep her dominance going that she has managed to maintain for such a long time! Certainly a scary opponent for anyone, especially making their singles debut!
Stew-O: That is very true! Sienna Jade of course, many accolades to go along with a legendary career is the type of opponent you want to be facing when you’ve built up some experience! Her opponent tonight has a very difficult challenge ahead of him and I am not sure if he is really aware of that! He seems to be confident in his ability to match up with Sienna!
(“PA’ ROMPERLA” by Bad Bunny and Don Omar hits the speakers as Luis De La Rosa makes his way to the stage. He taunts the crowd before he makes his way to the ring, confident as ever.)
Stephie Love: Introducing second, from Hidalgo, Mexico… Weighing in at 170 lbs… Representing La Familia… LUUUIIIIISSSSSSS DE LA ROOOOOSAAAAAAAAAA!
Jake Mercer: Now let me tell you about this guy! In Mexico, an absolute killer. You know, he may not be the most muscular but the brains inside of that head of his are unmatched! He once outsmarted someone so bad that it left them confused for a month straight! Confused him so bad that he forgot how to do a damn suplex!
Flannery McCoy: Sure! But no matter what kind of brains he thinks he has, he’s going to bring all of it if he even hopes to get past someone like Sienna Jade! This is an uphill battle that if he manages to get past, it will do wonders for his career! But to see if he can even get close to doing so, let’s get into this!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: We get right into action here as Luis starts to circle the ring alongside Sienna, the new Elitist making a smart choice by not going in too fast with a veteran like Jade herself. Making moves too fast can and will cost you, so taking a slow approach to someone where this is only exponentialized is that strategic brain that Jake talked about. He is slowly moving as he tries to get Jade to accept a lock up attempt! But it doesn’t get accepted as a kick to the gut makes De La Rosa bend over forwards! Sienna makes an opening for herself to lock in a tight side headlock on her opponent to start wearing him down! He tries to get out by pushing her towards the ropes to look and bounce her off them to maybe catch her off the rebound!
Jake Mercer: Wait no! That’s not at all what he is trying to do! He puts his leg through the ropes and hooks it around one to get himself out of the hold for free with a rope break! The referee instructs his opponent to let loose of the hold before the count of 4 and before the referee can even start to count, Jade lets loose. But that trick only seems to have pissed her off as she turns right back to her opponent and slaps him across the face with a lot of force! That is sure to leave a mark! Luis takes offense as he holds his cheek after being struck by his opponent and looks to take his revenge by getting his legs back in the ring and running towards her and pushing her to the ground! That’s some disrespect to the legendary Elitist with him in that ring! Can you believe he really just did that? Maybe he’s trying to get her riled up so she starts leaving openings in her rage!
Flannery McCoy: Well whatever the plan was, it indeed left some bad taste in the Unfuckwithable’s mouth as she looks visibly disgusted, staring straight into the soul of the man making his singles debut! Luis looks like he just realized what he did but it’s too late because Sienna gets right back up to her feet and runs straight at him and hits him with a massive forearm to the face, knocking some sense into him after such a ballsy move! Jade doesn’t hold back as she keeps on striking and striking until he is backed into the ropes! This time she forces the referee to count all the way to 4 before she lets go, backing off and putting her hands in the air as the referee steps in between the two! Luis steps off the ropes, ready to fight the veteran and Sienna is just as ready to move in so she could attack further…
Jake Mercer: HERE IS THAT GENIUS! He slides out of the ring before Sienna can get to him! He escapes and it only feeds into the vet’s anger that could lead to her making moves that she shouldn’t! Luis has a smirk on his face as he turns to the crowd that’s booing behind him and tells them to shut their mouths. Sienna however gets onto the apron before dropping down to the ringside floor. She gets behind De La Rosa and taps on his shoulder. The new Elitist turns around and his face is again shocked as he is again face to face with the woman he has made livid with these games! Before he can truly react, Jade grabs his head and makes it bounce off the apron as she slides him back into the ring after. She follows him to the inside and looks to get some more moves in but… MORE GENIUS!
Stew-O: You can call it genius or you can call it cowardice, because Luis just used the momentum he got from being rolled into the ring to roll all the way to the other side of the ring and slid out again. He is making sure to keep the mind games going and to get to that point where even a veteran like Sienna starts making mistakes due to the anger and adrenaline building up. Jade stands up in the middle of the ring as she looks around and sees her opponent back on the outside. This time she’s even more pissed than the previous time. She again goes to follow him to the outside as he turns his back to again taunt the crowd, but this time it was to fake her out! As soon as Sienna was on the outside, he sprung into action and grabbed the back of her head and slammed it into the barricade! Now this is something we can call a strategic move!
Flannery McCoy: Sienna holds her face as the new Elitist now grabs her by the shoulders and starts to pull her backwards to slam her backfirst into the apron! Now he gets her back into the ring and slides in right after, getting up and spreading his arms with a confident smirk on his face. The outsmarting is getting to his head and making him confident but becoming overconfident is not a good thing. He needs to keep his head in the game and keep going like this, because it will be his best chance to conquer someone like Jade! As Sienna tries to get up, he stomps down on her hand and as she holds the struck hand with her other one, stomps on her leg as well! He does so with a smirk and Jade starts to crawl to the corner as she sits against the bottom turnbuckle to take a small rest from the painful offense!
Jake Mercer: I mean to me it’s just a smart strategy! Luis keeps Sienna damaged so that her veteran skills slowly get rules out and he does so by tricking her into making mistakes! It’s the reason that he’s now able to lift her back to her feet in that corner and mount to the second rope to start sending punches down to the skull of the legendary Elitist! The crowd starts counting up towards that 10 mark! One! Two! Three! Four! Fi— NO! Sienna catches the punch and sends a second slap to the face of De La Rosa! She ducks under his legs before he makes his way off the corner and turns right around into a stiff knee strike to the gutz sending him back into the turnbuckles where he gets met with even more stiff knee strikes to the gut! The referee starts counting yet again with Sienna stopping the onslaught at the count of 4!
Flannery McCoy: She creates some distance between her and Luis, who stumbles out of the corner and lands on his knees close to the middle of the ring. Jade spots this as she starts to run straight towards the ropes and is looking to take his head clean off with a Shining Wizard! But no! Luis manages to throw himself to the side and dodge the knee strike that can deal a lot of damage! He rolls towards the apron where he starts to get up! Sienna again, a pissed expression on her face. She gets up and puts her hands on her hips. She can genuinely not believe the games that De La Rosa is trying to play with her. He manages to dodge all the big damaging moves but it’s only making the small moves Sienna hits come towards him much harder because she is just tired of having to deal with this!
Stew-O: I can guarantee you he is going to regret playing games because Jade is now walking towards him to grab him by the head and— Oh no! He grabs her head and makes her bounce off the top rope as he drops down! She stumbles towards the center of the ring as she drops to a knee, holding her neck, Luis getting back into the ring and grabbing her. He puts Sienna’s head under his arm as he hooks her arm above his head with a smirk on his face. He then lifts her off the floor and slams her back down with a quick snap suplex! He gets back up and dusts off his hands to taunt everyone and makes it seem as if that was easy. Sienna holds her back as she starts to slowly get back up. Luis now uses that to run up to her and send her flying towards the corner with a running hurricanrana! Sienna goes flying and lands close to the corner, using it to pull herself up slowly again! But this is used by De La Rosa to suddenly hit that first Superkick as Sienna turns around! It turns Jade around as he is able to connect with a second one! He goes for the cover after that signature Double Superkick!
OOOONNNNEEEEEE!!!!
TTTWWWWOOOOOO!!!!
Jake Mercer: NEARLY HAD IT THERE BUT A KICK OUT AT 2 BY SIENNA! Luis looks like he has seen a ghost. I think he thought that was it and banked on it being the final hit needed to put her down! But it doesn’t seem that way at all! He slowly gets her up and goes to lock in Cartel Execution #2! That Guillotine Choke! But wait no! Before he can get it locked it entirely, a Northern Lights Suplex from Sienna sends him overhead and flying into that ring! She doesn’t hold on as she rolls towards the corner to get herself some time to breathe and slowly get up without having to worry about being attacked. She is stalking her opponent now that she is pissed off by the way he has been handling this match. He slowly gets up but before he can truly get up he is sent back down with a thunderous DDT! That sends him headfirst into the canvas!
Flannery McCoy: Sienna gets back up and now starts taunting the new Elitist as the cheating-esque style has caught up to the youngster and the veteran is now in the driver’s seat of this matchup. That rage is now the worst thing to happen to the new De La Rosa as she grabs him and gets him up a little bit off the ground just so she could mount him and start punching away at her opponent to teach him to never disrespect someone like her again! Punch after punch, Luis puts his arms up to block but they keep raining down and it’s starting to pierce through the defense as aswell! It looks like all forms of consciousness have left the body of the La Familia member! He made her a ticking timebomb and didn’t get to finish her off before she exploded and he is now facing what happens when you allow her to explode inside that ring! A beating that only someone as established as Jade can give you!
Stew-O: And now she is eyeing something different! She is looking towards that top rope with a grin on her face. She looks Luis dead in the eyes and points to the rope, making it known to him exactly what she is planning on doing. But before she does she throws in one last punch for good measure as she starts to make her way all the way to the corner before ascending the ropes. Back facing the middle of the ring, she starts to call for it as she leaps off the top rope and successfully connects with her signature ‘Starstruck’ Moonsault! But she doesn’t go for the cover just yet! Now she gets up and drags her opponent towards the center of the ring!
Jake Mercer: And right there, she hooks the arm between her legs before going around the other one to grab Luis’ head! It’s in! That Temptress! Her version of the double underhook crossface! And De La Rosa has nowhere to go! He tries his best to hold on. He kicks his feet towards the ropes, looking to get to them, but that just shows the ring awareness of Jade as she saw this coming and moved him to the center of the ring! After trying his best to still fight out… HE TAPS OUT!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… Unfuckwithable…SIEEENNNAAAAA JAAAAAAAADDEEEEEEE!
Flannery McCoy: And Sienna walks away from this match as she brings home a victory to celebrate alongside Kassidy Heart! Although I must say that the efforts made by Luis may not have been the cleanest or the most dominant, they were in fact strategic and against someone less experienced as Sienna Jade, may have just worked! But that veteran’s mindset and experience came into play as Jade managed to prevail and take the victory!
Stew-O: Again, it can not be understated how impressive it was for De La Rosa to hold his own against one of the very best Elitists on Dynasty today! A victory wasn’t the expected outcome but to be able to at some points in this match, outsmart someone of her status is something to look out for going forward and is a trait that can definitely see him get victories over names that you don’t think are going to lose to him! I think it wasn’t a matter of not being good enough to be here, but instead the competition was just a level too high!
Jake Mercer: Next time he wrestles, he’ll get a second chance to prove his worth and there is no doubt in my mind that he will shine in that match and prove to everybody that he is meant for this business. There is no shame in losing against Sienna Jade and I feel like the way he lost only showed just how much potential he has!
(Sienna Jade gets up from the submission hold after the bell rings, the referee holding her hand high as she stands victorious over Luis De La Rosa. Luis rolls towards the corner holding his neck as he looks in pain while also bummed out over the loss. The scene fades out as Sienna makes her way out of the ring and Luis still recovers from the submission hold.)
???: Oh! You sure aren’t shy about getting handsy, are you?
???: You know me. I like to get straight to the point.
???: Don’t I know it.
(In the office, Richard Grant and Kensingten-Calhoun Astor wrap their arms around each other. They nuzzle their noses together, chuckling like two fools madly in love. In a cozy embrace, Kensingten rests her chin on his shoulder.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: I bet you were a real charmer back in the day.
Richard Grant: I was. Had a few ladies too, but not a single one of them compares to you.
(Richard Grant, channeling his inner old-fashioned Southern “charm”, leans in close to Kensingten-Calhoun Astor. The soft drawl of his voice adds a touch of warmth to the air.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Is that right?
Richard Grant: Yes. “I’ve been ’round the sun a fair few times, but ain’t no sunset ever been as breathtaking as the moments I spend with you. You’re my twilight, my evening star, shining bright in the dusk of my days.
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Oh, my…
(Kensingten giggles, playfully nudging him.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Look at you being an absolutely romantic poet. You just keep on surprising me, Richy.
Richard Grant: More than I have already, right? 😉
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: :mjlol: You know, I thought you’d be one of those older guys who would be so stiff and lifeless, but you have quite the energy to you.
Richard Grant: What can I say? You make me feel young again, Kenni. Got enough to keep an old guy like me going.
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Oh?
(She smirks.)
Richard Grant: Indeed. You’re like the finest sweet tea on a hot summer day—refreshing, sweet, and I can’t get enough. I’m addicted to you, my dear.
(Kensingten giggles, fiddling around with this tie.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Well, sugar, I hope you don’t plan on breaking that addiction any time soon.
Richard Grant: Not a chance, my love. In fact, it’s one I don’t plan to break at all.
(That’s when Richard takes a few steps back. Kensingten tilts her head slightly to the side, curiosity taking over her.)
Richard Grant: You see, Kensingten, ever since we became official, I have experienced the most joy in my life yet. I always admired just how smart and dedicated you were to this business, as well as being a headstrong woman who didn’t let that nasty boy Tyrone carry on with his antics. However, you grew on me, and since you and I started working together, I grew to be madly in love with you.
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Aww. Well, I’m touched, Richard. Truly, I am. You’ve been a great partner outside of just being an incredible lover. I’m glad that I get to run this show with someone completely compatible with me. I wouldn’t want to have it any other way. Our chemistry is unlike any other. In fact, this show has been in a better place since we started to run it. This show, by extension, is a by-product of our love, and there’s a reason why it’s been flourishing just like our relationship.
Richard Grant: It absolutely has.
(He holds her by her dainty hands and kisses them.)
Richard Grant: But aside from that? I’m just glad to have you in my life. I’ve never fallen so deeply in love with anyone like this before. You are the best part of my day, Kensingten. I’m excited for the future, especially with you being a part of it.
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Whatever do you mean, Richy?
(Richard looks a bit nervous. However, he steels his nerves long enough to take a box out from his pants pocket. Kensingten’s eyes widen.)
Richard Grant: Now, I apologize if this is a bit too old-fashioned, but at least back in my day, this is how you show someone you love you are absolutely committed to them.
(Opening it up, it reveals its contents to be… a promise ring! It dazzles within the lights of the office. Kensingten’s mouth opens.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Richard, I–
Richard Grant: I hope this isn’t me getting overzealous, but Kensingten, I know that I wanna dedicate the rest of my life to you. Marriage right now may be a little too far, but at least with this, you have my promise that I will be eternally dedicated to you. I want you to know I take our relationship seriously.
(Kensingten is quiet. She looks at the ring, gorgeous and expensive-looking, then looks at Richard, who looks at her with hopeful, lovey-dovey eyes. Her own heart feels like it’s going to swell. She clasps her hands together and grins.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Oh, Richy! I love you so much!
(She squeals with excitement and sticks her hand out.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: I guess this is the official girlfriend proposal, huh?
Richard Grant: It is. Granted, it would’ve been better if I got on one knee, but uh… I gotta be careful doing that.
(The two laugh. Richard smiles like an idiot from ear to ear, taking the ring out. She slips it onto Kensingten’s ring finger. She takes a step back and marvels at the gorgeous promise ring.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: … This is stunning.
Richard Grant: Had to make sure the gem matched your beauty.
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: 🥹
(Kensingten wraps her arms around Richard, peppering him with kisses to the cheek. Richard snickers, holding onto her. They eventually kiss, deepening it with each passing second. Eventually, he scoops her up and puts her down on the desk’s edge, making out with her.)
(By the time he pulls away, his face is adorned by the red lip marks she left behind.)
Richard Grant: Thank you for being my girlfriend, Kenni.
(Kensingten smiles.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: And thank you for being my boyfriend, Richard. Gosh, I feel like I’m in high school again!
Richard Grant: Well, you’re certainly better than the girl I dated at that time.
(The couple chuckle, then get right back to smooching. The camera zooms in, focusing on the promise ring glistening in the light, before the scene fades away from the office and back to the arena. The fans may or may not be disgusted after seeing that segment.)
(At the very least, their form of eye bleach is on the way as the next match is ready to start.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘il vento d’oro’ by Yugo Kanno would hit the speakers of the arena to an explosion of boos, as a distraught and stressed MITSU would make his way out onto the stage. He looks to grow more and more desperate as the weeks go by, as he makes his way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! From Sōka, Saitama, Japan, weighing in at 187 pounds, he is The ‘GOLDEN DOYEN!!!!!!’ MITSUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!
(And then, ‘Invincible’ by Pop Smoke would begin to play throughout the speakers, the crowd erupting into a frenzy of cheers, as a very confident Chris Elite would make his way out onto the stage. He takes a look around, and takes in the reaction from the crowd, before beginning to make his way down to the ramp, looking to make a statement.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent! From Brooklyn, New York, weighing in at 210 pounds, he is ‘GAWD GIVEN GREATNESS!!!!!!!!’ CHRISSSSSSSSS ELITEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: And this match is now underway! MITSU is desperately looking to get back on track so that he can follow the string of success that KAI-ZEN has had since its formation, but it isn’t going to be an easy test, as he is going tobe facing off against a Hall Of Famer in the form of Chris Elite; a man who KAI-ZEN has had a lot of history with in the past couple of months! The two would begin to pace around the ring… before engaging into a collar and elbow tie up!
Flannery McCoy: But it’s going to be Chris Elite who manages to quickly break through that early fight for control, as he pulls MITSU right over and goes around, locking him into a waistlock in the center of the ring! But MITSU is going to manage to fight out of the waistlock, transitioning around, AND HE KNEES CHRIS ELITE IN THE RIBCAGE! A cheap shot in the early goings of this match, and MITSU pulls Elite over into a headlock to take control!
Jake Mercer: MITSU has grown to become a very desperate man over the recent weeks, and it hasn’t gotten any better, and he is looking to make a change here tonight! He wrenches the headlock in even further, only for Elite to manage his way out of it, slipping through and hooking onto MITSU… AND CHRIS ELITE LIFTS HIM UP FOR A BACK SUPLEX, BUT MITSU FLIPS OUT OF IT AND LANDS ONTO HIS FEET!
Stew-O: And Chris Elite is given zero time to react, as MITSU WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND CHRIS ELITE’S WAIST… AND HE THROWS HIM WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX, BUT THIS TIME IT’S ELITE WHO MANAGES TO STICK A LANDING ON HIS FEET! Elite backs into the ropes and quickly bounces off them, looking to take advantage, but MITSU manages to catch him, and he throws him over with a headlock takedown!
Flannery McCoy: Chris Elite gets taken down to the mat by the headlock takedown, but it isn’t going to be applied for long, as Elite quickly maneuvers out of it, before he catches MITSU into a headscissors! But, MITSU manages to kip up and out of the headscissors, making it back up to his feet before he slides back down, AND HE PULLS ELITE OVER INTO A CRUCIFIX PIN, LOOKING TO STEAL IT HERE FROM HIM!
ONEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT CHRIS ELITE KICKS OUT OF IT, AND HE SLIDES OUT OF IT AND INTO A GROUNDED HEADLOCK OF HIS OWN! Now it’s MITSU who is trapped on the mat by the grounded headlock, and Elite holds onto it as tightly as possible, but it looks like MITSU is going to slip out of it… but Elite lets go of it himself and pops up to his feet, LOOKING FOR AN EARLY ‘BOX OFFICE SMASH’ TO PUT AN END TO MITSU BEFORE THIS MATCH COULD EVEN PICK UP!
Stew-O: BUT MITSU MANAGES TO POP TO HIS FEET ON TIME, AND HE THROWS HIMSELF RIGHT INTO CHRIS ELITE WITH A MASSIVE HEADBUTT! Chris Elite looks rocked by the headbutt from MITSU, but he would push Elite backwards into the corner, AND MITSU FOLLOWS UP WITH A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE INTO THE CORNER! Chris Elite is reeling, AND MITSU FOLLOWS UP WITH A RUNNING BULLDOG! MITSU MANAGES TO SEND CHRIS ELITE CRASHING INTO THE MAT WITH A HUGE RUNNING BULLDOG…
Flannery McCoy: …BUT IT’S DENIED, AS CHRIS ELITE SLIPS OUT OF IT AND HE SENDS MITSU CRASHING AND BURNING INTO THE MAT! These two have had each other’s number since the opening bell and they are showing no signs of slowing down at all within this match! MITSU would scramble back up to his feet, but he was clearly hurting, as Chris Elite would close the distance and he began nailing multiple forearms right into MITSU’s face!
Jake Mercer: MITSU had no way of protecting himself from this onslaught, AND CHRIS ELITE WOULD FINISH IT OFF IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE, LEAPING UP INTO THE AIR AS HE CATCHES MITSU SQUARE ON THE JAW WITH A PICTURE PERFECT DROPKICK! MITSU CRUMBLES INTO THE MAT AND CHRIS ELITE IS QUICK TO FLOAT OVER AND INTO THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEG! AND CHRIS ELITE LOOKS TO WIN RIGHT HERE!
ONEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: BUT IT’S MITSU WHO MANAGES TO KICK OUT AT THE COUNT OF TWO THIS TIME AROUND! Chris Elite gets pushed up into a seated position upon the kickout, as it is clear that he did not look happy one bit about it. But, before he could even get the chance to capitalize and push forward; MITSU rolls to the outside of the ring, and it looks like he is going to be taking a moment to breathe!
Flannery McCoy: I don’t think Chris Elite wanted to allow for MITSU to get any time for space between the two, AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS GOING TO MAKE SURE DIDN’T HAPPEN, AS ELITE SPRINGS TO HIS FEET BEFORE SHOOTING OFF THE ROPES… AND HE TAKES MITSU DOWN WITH A TOPE CON HILO!! MITSU GETS TAKEN RIGHT BACK DOWN, AND CHRIS ELITE LOOKS TO BE ON FIRE RIGHT NOW WITH NO SIGNS OF STOPPING! CHRIS ELITE IS LOOKING TO MAKE A STATEMENT!
Jake Mercer: AND ELITE IS DOING EXACTLY THAT! He grabs MITSU by the hair and quickly sends him back into the ring, before climbing up onto the apron! MITSU starts to get back on its feet… AND CHRIS ELITE SPRINGBOARDS INTO THE RING, TAKING MITSU DOWN WITH A HUGE SPRINGBOARD EUROPEAN UPPERCUT!!! MITSU GOES DOWN, BUT ELITE ISN’T DONE AS HE PICKS HIM RIGHT BACK UP, AND HE WAS LOOKING TO END THIS!
Stew-O: AND HE MIGHT DO EXACTLY THAT, AS CHRIS ELITE PULLS MITSU RIGHT OVER AND INTO THE HAMMERLOCK DDT!!!! ‘FACE VALUE’ SPIKES MITSU RIGHT ONTO HIS HEAD, AND ELITE FLOATS HIM OVER INTO YET ANOTHER PIN, HOOKING THE LEG TO PUT AN END TO THIS!
ONEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: KICK OUT! KICK OUT BY MITSU KEEPS HIM ALIVE IN THIS MATCH ONCE MORE! Chris Elite did not look happy right now, frustration clearly showing as he thought he had the match won right then and there! He gets back up to his feet, and pulls MITSU back up to his feet, and it looks like Chris Elite is going to attempt to take advantage of the opening that he has given to himself within this match tonight…
Jake Mercer: BUT MITSU CATCHES CHRIS ELITE WITH A KICK TO THE KNEE CAP! MITSU kicks low there and forces Elite to drop to his knees… AND MITSU SPRINGS RIGHT IN WITH A HUGE ENZIGURI KICK ONTO CHRIS ELITE! MITSU IS LOOKING TO GET BACK INTO THIS MATCH AS HE TURNS CHRIS ELITE OVER ONTO HIS STOMACH… BEFORE DEADLIFTING HIM UP INTO THE AIR, AND DROPPING HIM ON HIS HEAD WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! CHRIS ELITE JUST LANDED RIGHT ONTO HIS HEAD!
Stew-O: And the impact of the german suplex sends Chris Elite right back up and propped onto his knees, AND MITSU SHOOTS OFF THE ROPES, WITH CHRIS ELITE IN HIS SIGHTS… AND HE GOES FOR A HUGE DOUBLE KNEES TO ELITE INTO THE ROPES, BUT CHRIS ELITE MOVES OUT OF THE WAY, AND MITSU GETS SENT FLYING THROUGH THE ROPES, BUT HE HANGS ON AND MANAGES STAYING ON THE APRON!
Flannery McCoy: Chris Elite stumbles back up however and he grabs MITSU by the hair, dragging him back into the ring… BUT MITSU SHOOTS UP TO HIS FEET AND CATCHES ELITE WITH A NASTY FOREARM SMASH! CHRIS ELITE IS DAZED, AND MITSU GRABS A HOLD OF HIM… AND HE DROPS HIM WITH THE FLAPJACK!!! CHRIS ELITE GOES DOWN AND MITSU FLOATS INTO A COVER!
ONEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: KICK OUT! CHRIS ELITE KICKS OUT, AND MITSU DOESN’T LOOK HAPPY WHATSOEVER! MITSU needs to get his head in the game to be able to even have a chance of putting away a Hall Of Famer such as Chris Elite, and that might be what he is on the verge of doing, as a very desperate MITSU gets back up to his feet, and he begins to pull Chris Elite up with him… AND BRINGS HIM RIGHT INTO THE RIPCORD POSITION, LOOKING TO TURN HIM INSIDE OUT WITH THE LARIAT AND NAIL ‘DOYEN’S DOMINION!!!!’ IT HITS–
Stew-O: –NOT QUITE!!! CHRIS ELITE BARELY MANAGES TO ESCAPE FROM THE LARIAT, DUCKING UNDER IT AS HE SCRAMBLES INTO THE ROPES! MITSU does not look happy whatsoever, quickly turning towards Elite, and he looks to run right back in at him, to take advantage of any moments of space here!
Flannery McCoy: But Chris Elite ducks under it again… AND THIS TIME MITSU TURNS… RIGHT INTO ‘BOX OFFICE SMASH!!!’ THE SUPERKICK CONNECTS SQUARE ON THE JAW AND MITSU CRUMBLES TO THE MAT, AND ELITE QUICKLY DROPS DOWN AND INTO THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEG!
ONEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
TTTHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER; CHRIS ELITE!!!!!!!!!
(‘Invincible’ would hit the speakers once more to an explosion of cheers as Chris Elite would push himself off of the lifeless body of MITSU. He gets back up to his feet and has his arm raised high into the air by the referee in victory.)
Jake Mercer: And yet, another loss for MITSU…
Stew-O: This is starting to get a bit embarrassing and disappointing for MITSU, but even then, you can’t help but give it to him for being able to hang with a Hall Of Famer like Chris Elite. He didn’t go down very easily, and in the end it took Elite’s best shot to keep him down for a count of three. Congratulations to Chris Elite!
(MITSU would be seen seated in the corner in disappointment, as Chris Elite would continue to celebrate his victory, and the camera fades out from there.)
(Transitioning over to the backstage area, Max A. Million and Cy Henderson are seen together. Max, having a microphone on hand, turns towards the camera, offering a smile.)
Max A. Million: Well, there’s been plenty of fallout from last week’s Dynasty, and we’ve seen some of it spill over into tonight’s show. However, perhaps one of the bigger confrontations that happened this past Friday involved none other than ‘The Future’ Drake Armstrong and the man currently with me at this moment, Cy Henderson.
(The fans in the arena cheer for the EAW legend. Cy looks at Max with a nod and brief smile.)
Cy Henderson: I guess it did get out of hand, didn’t it?
Max A. Million: It has. Ever since you stopped Drake from potentially ending the career of Jordan Narzikis a few weeks back, things have quickly become tense between you two. You didn’t want to see him inflict any unnecessary harm, whereas he felt like you had no business getting involved, claiming that you’re coming after him out of a need to become relevant and not out of the kindness of your own heart for other Elitists.
Cy Henderson: He certainly did, and he couldn’t be any more wrong about that.
Max A. Million: It was something you confronted him about last week, but would you like to elaborate further on your thoughts on this situation?
Cy Henderson: Certainly. Honestly, I still maintain that what Drake did, or attempted to do, was absolutely unneeded. He beat him, he made his point, and he could’ve moved on from that, content that he rebounded from his loss at House of Glass. However, he didn’t do that. He wanted to take things a lot further than that, and all for what? To placate his bruised ego? To make himself feel and appear like a genuine threat? It made no sense. It’s the same thing that I had to deal with when it came to Chef Viz, or the Visual Prophet as he was known at the time. It was just unnecessary action after unnecessary action, and at some point, someone needed to say that enough was enough. Couple that with my issues with Ronan Malosi, and it has just become this recurring trend of Elitists letting their arrogance and their desperation bring out the absolute worst parts of themselves.
Cy Henderson: However, I will say that Drake may arguably be the most insufferable out of the group. He comes across as desperate and insecure for a man who’s supposed to be confident about his future as a potential top star for this promotion. Even before him trying to take out Jordan, look at how he went about dealing with Hans and Michael. One would think him losing twice when it came to becoming the New Breed champion would wake him up, ground him, and show to him his attitude and antics haven’t served him well, but it’s done the exact opposite. He’s rapidly unfurling at this rate, and if someone doesn’t get this Drake Armstrong problem nipped in the bud soon, then who knows what he’ll do next? He’s become deluded and aggressive in spite of the calm, calculated facade he presents himself out to be. He’s not an uncrowned prince, but a tyrant who is losing his mind, and if no one else has been able to stop him, then I will.
(That’s when Cy turns away from Max and looks straight at the camera.)
Cy Henderson: And I plan on being the one to stop you, Drake Armstrong. So, at Road to Redemption, I want it to be you against me.
(Max’s eyes go wide.)
Max A. Million: Okay, wow! Are you serious there, Cy?
(Cy brings his attention back to him.)
Cy Henderson: Of course. I meant every word. I want to face him, and I want to beat him.
Max A. Million: Now THAT’S a huge challenge you’re putting on the table! However, as you noted, Drake has seem to become a bit more aggressive in recent history. Aren’t you worried that he could take things too far with you? :lupe:
(Cy snickers, then shrugs.)
Cy Henderson: Better me than anyone else. I’ve dealt with plenty of Elitists just like him before. Plus, if I’m truly this “past his prime” veteran that he’s tried to paint me as, he wouldn’t hesitate to accept and prove that to be the case. However, I’m not worried in the slightest. I’m set on this match, and hopefully, Drake won’t take too long to make up his mind. Anything else?
Max A. Million: No, that’s it. Thank you for your time, Cy.
Cy Henderson: And thank you. Have a good rest of your evening.
(Cy smiles and heads on out. Max watches on, with the fans cheering. He then turns to the camera.)
Max A. Million: The challenge has been made! Cy wants to deal with Drake Armstrong directly at Road to Redemption! Now, we wait and see what Drake has to say in that regard. Back to you, guys.
(The scene fades from there are Dynasty transitions back over to the ringside area.)
(The camera cuts to Ms. Extreme at the commentary table with ‘They Call Me a God’ by NEFFEX playing in the background.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… MS. EXTREME!!
(The camera cuts to Stephie Love in the ring as ‘They Call Me a God’ by NEFFEX fades out.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR… ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(‘Monsters’ by Currents plays out Rory Slate, who cockily struts onto the ramp, and talks directly to the camera, confident in her chances ahead of tonight’s match with Milli as she saunters down the ramp, receiving boos from the EAW audience.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! Hailing out Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 138 pounds…SHE IS THE WINDY CITY SADIST…RORY SLATE!
Stew-O: Here we go! Rory Slate who qualified for the Specialists Championship chamber at Road to Redemption gets to garner some huge momentum as she takes on the former Specialists Champion! Rory has been determined to capture the championship, and nothing will help her out more if she’s able to beat Milli here tonight!
Jake Mercer: #RoryAll, Stew-O! You know it!
Ms. Extreme: I forgot she used that stupid catchphrase.
Flannery McCoy: Rory has been impressive in recent times, especially after that loss at House of Glass. She’s been able to get another shot at that title in just three weeks. The question is, can she truly redeem herself tonight by beating Milli Banks in one-on-one action.
(‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj feat. Lil Wayne. Plays next, receiving an extremely positive reaction as opposed to Rory’s negative one, and Milli Banks struts down the ramp, mouthing the lyrics to her song along the way.)
Stephie Love: And her opponent! Hailing out of Brooklyn, New York, weighing in at 135 pounds…SHE IS THE SUPERNOVA…MILLI BANKS!!
Ms. Extreme: …
(As Milli comes over, she sees Ms. Extreme and points at her.)
Milli Banks: (off-mic) Try me and see what happens.
(Milli gets on the apron and enters the ring, where she poses for the fans.)
Ms. Extreme: :mjlol: So much for her being focused on this match. Look at how she came right at me.
Stew-O: :yikes: Things have gotten tense between the two of you. However, Milli has her match, and she is going to have to be prepared for it if she wants to make a good impression leading up to Road to Redemption.
Jake Mercer: We know her own arrogance can get in her own way. If she wants to win tonight, she’ll have to be on her A-game.
Ms. Extreme: i guess we’ll see if she’s even capable of that, but honestly, I doubt it.
(Both competitors stare one another down from opposing corners as the referee signals the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: The bell has rung, and both women circle each other, although I wouldn’t say Milli’s full attention is on Rory, given her glances at Ms. Extreme early on yet again.
Ms. Extreme: If she has a problem, I’m standing right here.
Flannery McCoy: I just think that Milli could be a bit paranoid you may be looking to pull something here.
Ms. Extreme: Clearly, I won’t have to, she keeps looking at me, and not her opponent, she’s going to beat herself.
Stew-O: Well, both women lock up, and Rory quickly backs Milli in the corner. The referee gets involved, telling both women to break, giving them til the count of five or else there will be a disqualification.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Flannery McCoy: Rory begins to seperate from Milli in the corner, but CHEAP SHOTS HER WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP ACROSS THE CHEST! Milli felt that one, and gets irish whipped to the opposite corner! BUT MILLI IMMEDIATELY CHARGES OUT OF SAID CORNER WITH A CLOTHESLINE! Rory rolls out of the ring, and tries to shake the cobwebs out of her head.
Stew-O: BUT SHE NEEDS TO WATCH OUT AS MILLI BUILDS MOMENTUM, AND LEAPS OFF THE STEEL STEPS FOR A CLOTHESLINE!
Jake Mercer: What athleticism by Banks!
Flannery McCoy: Milli’s athleticism cannot be doubted and is definitely something you’ll have to watch out for, Camille.
Ms. Extreme: “Thanks” for the heads up, Flannery, though you’re not telling me much I don’t already know.
Flannery McCoy: Alrighty then…
Stew-O: Milli rolls Rory back inside the ring, and Rory rises to a knee, but Milli shoves her back, seated her down in the corner as a result, and begins to unload with STOMPS! REPEATED STOMPS IN THAT CORNER CONNECT, SINKING RORY DOWN FURTHER AND FURTHER!
Jake Mercer: Rory is getting a mudhole stomped in her, and rolls out underneath the bottom rope to separate from Banks again.
Flannery McCoy: Rory is groggy on the outside, and Milli exits the ring, BUT FALLS RIGHT INTO RORY’S TRAP, WHO DRIVES MILLI BACK FIRST INTO THE APRON ONCE SHE TURNS AROUND! I IMAGINE THAT SLATE WAS PLAYING POSSUM!
Stew-O: I’ve noticed that Milli has been very aggressive early on, perhaps that has to do with your presence, Camille.
Ms. Extreme: Maybe it does, maybe it doesn’t. But aggression is what she’ll need to stand any chance of putting me down for when we inevitably cross paths in that ring.
Flannery McCoy: Speaking of aggressive, look at Rory Slate, who goes to send Milli into the barricade with an iri- COUNTERED! THE IRISH WHIP GETS COUNTERED BY BANKS, WHO SENDS RORY BACK FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE INSTEAD! PAIN IS ETCHED ACROSS RORY’S FACE AS SHE WINCES IN PAIN!
Stew-O: Milli directs Rory away from the barricade, and goes to irish whip her into the steps! BUT RORY REVERSES, SENDING MILLI INSTEAD! BUT MILLI HOPS UP ON SAID STEPS, THEN TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE BEFORE FLYING OFF WITH A MOONSAULT ONTO RORY!
Flannery McCoy: MOONSAULT WIPES RORY OUT ON THE OUTSIDE, AND MILLI ROLLS HER BACK INSIDE THE RING!
Stew-O: The crowd is electric for Milli Banks right now, having just pulled off another impressive maneuver. Rory tries to crawl away from Banks, and finds herself in the corner, pulling herself up to a knee. Milli closes in, AND STARTS TO DELIVER REPEATED KNEE STRIKES TO RORY IN THE CORNER! PERHAPS SHE IS IMAGINING THE FACE OF MS. EXTREME AT THIS MOMENT!
Flannery McCoy: The referee intervenes, pulling Milli away from Rory briefly. Slate is visibly stunned, and things could go from bad to worse as Milli closes in for a second time. Irish whip to the opposite corner- but its reversed by Rory, sending Milli instead!
Stew-O: MILLI GOES UP AND OVER RORY IN THE CORNER, AND PERFORMS A HEADSPRING! RORY HALTS HERSELF FROM COLLIDING WITH THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, AND CATCHES MILLI WITH A SUPERKICK AS SHE TRIED TO CHARGE IN!
Jake Mercer: And just like that, Milli’s momentum has been brought to a screeching halt.
Ms. Extreme: Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Flannery McCoy: Rory has struggled to find an answer to Milli’s high octane offense early on, but right there, she just did, and starts going to work on Banks, repeatedly stomping her on the canvas! Rory has upped the intensity, and irish whips Milli into the corner HARD! Milli drops to all fours, and favors her back.
Stew-O: Rory isn’t done, and stands Milli up, backing her into the corner for another irish whip to the opposite corner again! Rory whips her hard, and Milli drops to all fours, crawling to the center of the ring. AND RORY CAPITALIZES, PERFORMING A STEP-UP SENTON ON MILLI’S BACK! ALL HER BODY WEIGHT COMING CRASHING DOWN! THAT IS 138 POUNDS, SLIGHTLY MORE THAN MILLI WEIGHS HERSELF!
Flannery McCoy: Milli got flattened with that senton, and Rory shoots the half for a cover!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOO-
Flannery McCoy: Almost a two count for Rory, but Milli kicks out, showing her resilience. I’d say that’s a trait you both possess, Camille, resilience, which has helped you both get very far here in Elite Answers Wrestling.
Ms. Extreme: Trust that I’m going to put Milli’s resilience to the test.
Stew-O: Milli finds herself on the defensive, looking to crawl away from Rory, and slip underneath the bottom rope. Milli reaches through the middle, and pulls Milli up on the apron. BUT MILLI EXPLODES WITH A RIGHT HAND! FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER! MILLI GOES TO THRUST HER SHOULDER INTO THE MIDSECTION OF SLATE- BUT RORY GETS HER KNEE UP, SMASHING MILLI IN THE FACE!
Flannery McCoy: Milli is stunned, AND RORY SENDS HER BACK FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST!
Jake Mercer: Ouch. Milli writhes in pain on the outside, and Rory steps out to the apron, telling Ms. Extreme to watch this before she dives off with an ELBOW DROP! RUNNING DIVING ELBOW DROP OFF THE APRON ONTO MILLI!
Stew-O: Seems like Milli’s attention isn’t the only one you have, as Rory taunted you a bit there.
Ms. Extreme: I finished business with Rory all the way back at Reckless Wiring, and she lost, so I don’t understand why she’d want to pick a fight with me again.
Stew-O: Fair enough.
Ms. Extreme: Milli is my focus, not her.
Flannery McCoy: Well, Milli is being put through the wringer right now by Slate, who pulls Banks up, and rolls her back inside the ring for a cover!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
Flannery McCoy: KICKOUT! Milli tries getting to her feet, but Rory is there first, and stands Milli up for a KNIFE EDGE CHOP! Milli staggers, and drops to a knee in the corner. Rory hangs Milli on the middle rope, and clubs her across the back briefly before running off the opposite set to deliver a BACK ELBOW! Milli rolls to the center, and again, finds herself writhing in pain, favoring that back.
Stew-O: Rory has been making said back a target, and I reckon that’s to soften Milli up for her finishing maneuver, the torture rack bomb, aka Clean Slate.
Jake Mercer: She also has that half nelson backbreaker, which she likes to use as well.
Stew-O: Rory takes a moment to taunt, and approaches Milli as she gets to a knee. BUT MILLI STARTS TO BATTLE BACK WITH A SHOT TO THE RIB CAGE! RORY DOUBLES OVER MOMENTARILY, BUT GRABS A HANDFUL OF HAIR! MILLI CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER SHOT TO THE RIB CAGE, TRYING TO MOUNT A COMEBACK!
Flannery McCoy: Rory staggers back briefly, but closes in once more. THIS TIME, MILLI RISES BACK TO HER FEET, AND KNOCKS RORY BACK WITH A RIGHT HAND!
Stew-O: Milli marches toward Slate, but GETS DOUBLE LEGGED DOWN TO THE CANVAS, AND RORY HOOKS BOTH FOR A SLINGSHOT CATAPULT INTO THE CORNER! BUT MILLI CATCHES HERSELF ON THE MIDDLE ROPE, AND RORY RUSHES OVER, GRABBING HOLD OF MILLI’S ANKLE, BUT MILLI KICKS HER OFF!
Flannery McCoy: Rory staggers back, and Milli turns around on the middle rope, facing toward Slate now! MILLI DIVES OFF- BUT GETS CAUGHT WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION! RORY TRIES TO GO FOR A POWERBOMB, BUT MILLI BACK BODY DROPS HER WAY OUT OF IT! RORY COLLIDES WITH THE CORNER, AND LANDS HIGH ON HER NECK AND SHOULDERS FOR THE LANDING!
Jake Mercer: And did Milli Banks just create an opening?!
Stew-O: Perhaps. But following that back body drop, she collapsed to a prone position on the canvas, meaning it could be either competitor’s ball game.
Ms. Extreme: Whoever makes it back to their feet first will have a major advantage over the other.
Flannery McCoy: Milli slowly begins to stir, as does Slate, who starts to pull herself up in the corner. Milli gets to her feet, and charges in! BUT RORY GETS THE BOOT UP! RORY GETS THE BOOT UP, AND RORY CHARGES OUT OF THE CORNER WITH A CLOTHESLINE! BUT MILLI TRAPS THE ARM FOR A SPINNING BACK KICK!
Stew-O: RORY DOUBLES OVER, AND MILLI TAGS HER WITH A PENALTY KICK, JOLTING HER UPRIGHT FOR A PICTURE PERFECT DROPKICK! Rory rolls away, and stands herself up with assistance from the ropes. BUT THAT TURNS OUT TO BE USED AGAINST HER AS MILLI CHARGES IN WITH DIAMOND DUST! THAT 619 CUTTER!
Flannery McCoy: NO! RORY TURNS IT INTO A CRADLE BACKBREAKER AS MILLI SWUNG OUT THE ROPES FOR THAT RKO! CRADLE BACKBREAKER CONNECTS, AND MILLI ROLLS OUT TO THE APRON, SCREAMS OF AGONY HEARD!
Jake Mercer: Rory has Milli right where she wants her, and steps out to the apron, slowly pulling Milli up to a vertical base, wonder what she’s going for!
Stew-O: RORY TRIES TO HOIST MILLI UP FOR A POWERBOMB, BUT MILLI BLOCKS IT, WRAPPING HER ARM AROUND THE MIDDLE ROPE! RORY SWITCHES STRATEGY, AND STANDS MILLI UPRIGHT TO LAND A FOREARM SMASH! MILLI RESPONDS BACK WITH ONE OF HER OWN! RORY LANDS ANOTHER FOREARM SMASH! MILLI DOES THE SAME! BIG BOOT BY RORY STAGGERS MILLI BACK ON THE APRON!
Flannery McCoy: RORY CHARGES IN, BUT GETS HOISTED UP ON MILLI’S SHOULDERS FOR A FIREMAN CARRY! AND MILLI PLANTS RORY WITH A DEATH VALLEY DRIVER ON THE APRON!
Stew-O: RORY ROLLS OFF THE APRON, AND MILLI STARTS SCALING THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, BACK FACING HER OPPONENT BEFORE MOONSAULTING OFF THE TOP ROPE AS RORY SLATE RISES TO HER FEET!
Flannery McCoy: SUPERKICK! RORY DELIVERS A SUPERKICK TO THE SIDE OF MILLI’S HEAD, AND SHE HITS HARD ON THE OUTSIDE! RORY ROLLS MILLI BACK INSIDE THE RING, AND LOOKS FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEE-
Jake Mercer: SHOULDER UP!
Ms. Extreme: Even I’ll admit I thought it was over.
Stew-O: Based off her expression, I’d say Rory thought it was over as well, but looks to finish it as she pulls Milli up for fhe double underhook DDT! BUT MILLI TWIRLS OUT OF IT, AND DELIVERS A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION! MILLI GOES TO RUN OFF THE ROPES, BUT RORY PULLS HER BACK IN BY THE REAR OF HER TRUNKS! RORY WANTS THE GTH!
Flannery McCoy: BUT RORY BLOCKS THE BELLY TO BACK GTS, CATCHING THE LEG! RORY GOES FOR AN ENZIGURI! BUT MILLI DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT, AND RORY RISES TO HER FEET, BACK FACING BANKS, WHO GRABS HOLD OF RORY, AND RUNS OFF THE ROPES FOR A SALINA DEL SOL! MILLI HOOKS BOTH LEGS FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Ms. Extreme: Welp.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERES YOUR WINNER…. MILLI BANKS!
(‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj feat. Lil Wayne. Plays, and Milli releases the cover on Rory, who rolls out the ring as Milli remains sat up on the canvas.)
Stew-O: Milli has done it! Milli has scored the win- OH MY GOD!
(‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj feat. Lil Wayne. Immediately cuts out as-)
Flannery McCoy; MS. EXTREME JUST NAILED MILLI WITH A LEAPING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP AS SHE WAS STILL SAT DOWN ON THE CANVAS!
Jake Mercer: I BARELY NOTICED HER SPEED OFF FROM THE COMMENTARY TABLE!
Stew-O: WELL, SHE DID, AND MADE QUITE A STATEMENT, CONNECTING WITH HOLY GROUND!
Flannery McCoy: Victory may be Milli’s, but she certainly doesn’t look like a victor at this moment. :lupe:
(Ms. Extreme bends over, and hurls trash talk at Milli, who writhes in pain on the canvas, clutching at her chest as she coughs. The crowd gives Ms. Extreme a mixed reaction as she proceeds to leave the ring before the camera fades to black.)
(A commercial is shown for Easy Bake Oven.)
(Friday Night Dynasty comes back as ‘Trophies’ by Drake begins to blast through the speakers of the arena. The crowd gives a mixed reaction as the camera goes over to a very disgruntled Joso beginning to make his way out to the backstage area. He doesn’t waste time on any extra theatrics, instead heading straight down to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… JOSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Last week we saw Joso fall short to Drake Armstrong in the ring, and of course that combined with everything else going on has left a sour taste in his mouth.
Flannery McCoy: Coupled with the issues that he’s had with Chris Elite, it seems that right now everything has reached its boiling point. But we’ll just have to get his opinion on the matter as he’s looking to speak in the ring tonight.
Jake Mercer: 😔 What has he become? That’s my goat! He don’t miss! Hopefully, he gets back on track soon…
(Joso makes his way up the steel steps and onto the apron, entering into the ring as he takes a microphone from the ringside area. ‘Trophies’ then begins to come to a close as Joso from there brings his microphone up to his mouth and begins to speak.)
Joso: I got a few things to get off my chest if you don’t mind, Oregon.
(The crowd cheers loudly, but Joso doesn’t exactly share the same positivity back. He takes the sunglasses that he has on his face off, tucking them against the collar of his shirt as he continues to speak.)
Joso: When this Season first started the only thing that was on people’s minds was right here in front of you. There was nobody that could beat Joso on his road to success, and something like that was only proven when I was drafted first overall by Friday Night Dynasty in the EAW Draft. My rookie Season was already a great one, and now I looked to take everything to the next level when I returned to the brand where it all started. Looking back on that, I don’t feel like that’s what happened. I don’t feel like I’ve been treated like the first pick in the Draft, in fact, I feel like I’ve essentially been handled like anything but that. Up to this point I had sacrificed the first half of what could’ve been my breakout Season to help out a friend who was being outnumbered. I could’ve used the momentum that I had gotten to take the next step in my career, but instead, I was being selfless and where did that end up getting me? While everyone else was getting an opportunity, I was left on the outside looking in because of something that was completely beyond my control. Better yet, when someone like Chris Elite had the opportunity to vouch for me after my actions, his not doing that is what caused me to not have a qualifier match unlike everyone else for the Extreme Elimination Chamber at Road To Redemption.
Joso: That was because Chris didn’t stick his neck out for me as I did for him, and now all of a sudden, it’s me that’s being questioned by everyone for my intentions and loyalties because of his failures. As he would say, make it make sense. You and I both know that’s bullshit, and if there’s anything I should say about the matter, it’s the fact that I would be in the World Heavyweight Championship conversation right now, but instead, I’m stuck here dealing with crooked management and people out to get me. So yes, after that in mind, everything else surrounding it, and a couple of losses on my plate, it’s safe to say I’m very unhappy. Am I certain that things could be better? Absolutely. Do I know that my potential as an Elitist could be so much more if I had been given a chance in the first place? Damn right. But-
(Finally, ‘Invincible’ by Pop Smoke is heard playing up as it interrupts what Joso has to say. The former Interwire Champion turns toward the stage, clearly having expected this, while the camera goes over to Chris Elite as he’s seen making his way out from the backstage area. He has an annoyed expression on his face and a microphone in his hand as he makes his way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Stew-O: We expected this much out of Chris Elite tonight after the weeks of disagreements that the two of them have had. Chris doesn’t necessarily believe that he did anything wrong, and all of Joso’s problems are things that are completely out of his control considering the nature of the situation. I definitely think he takes offense to Joso trying to pin it on him.
Jake Mercer: 😔 Maybe this wouldn’t have happened if Tyrone was here.
Flannery McCoy: Well Joso is likely to believe that Chris advocating for him to take a stand for himself was the reason this all started in the first place. So no matter how you think this situation would have gone, this has clearly escalated to a level that neither can go back from.
(Chris climbs onto the apron, entering through the ropes and getting into the ring as he makes his way over and takes a microphone from the ringside area. ‘Invincible’ from there begins to come to a close as Chris gets in Joso’s face, beginning to speak.)
Chris Elite: Look beloved, we can do the tit-for-tat petty shit, “indirectly” screw each other over, or whatever else you decide. We can do that… or we can have a conversation like men and rectify this shit. You feel me?
(Joso does not feel him. He shakes his head in frustration, already fed up with everything that has already happened, and not looking to risk anymore.)
Joso: Nah, the time for talking is over. I don’t have to explain myself nor do I owe you or anyone else an explanation. We’re past that point.
Chris Elite: Iight, cool, so stand there and shut the fuck up because I got something to say.
(Chris begins to pace around the ring, Joso’s patience only continuing to dwindle.)
Chris Elite: I’m not the reason your career is stagnant right now, as much as you want to make yourself believe that. I’m not the reason that Michael Machina and Drake Armstrong not only took your hype but beat you in back-to-back weeks, as much as you want to make yourself believe that. Most importantly, I’m not the reason you didn’t get an Extreme Elimination Chamber Qualifying match. You might think that it was a matter of Kensingten and Richard singling you out for something “bEyoNd YOur ConTroL”, but even if we look at it from an unbiased point of view, your effort that week was ass and it was clear that you were only weighing what was already an All-Star caliber team down by phoning it in… you were just lucky someone on the other side was doing the same thing. So I’m not gonna sit here and be guilted like I did something wrong when the reality is that it’s you that’s been fumbling your own hype and your own career, and all you’ve done since then is deflect from the truth.
(Joso closes his eyes, taking a deep breath, but clearly, Chris isn’t done.)
Chris Elite: I told Tyrone the real, and he might have gotten suspended for finally taking charge, but at least he has his dignity and his pride. So now I’m going to tell YOU the truth, and what you decide to do with that information is on you. If I didn’t give a fuck about you I wouldn’t keep it real.
(Chris stops pacing around and gets in Joso’s face.)
Chris Elite: You’re a reigning Rookie of The Year, and right now, somebody who should be doing way better than he is right now. I’m not going to go out of my way to dictate your career for you, either take ownership and take charge or don’t, it’s not my problem. But what you’re not gonna do is act like Chris Elite ever asked you to do shit for him, act like Chris Elite owes you anything, or act like Chris Elite is why you are where you are. If you’re really dying for Chris Elite’s opinion, then what Chris Elite is telling you to do is look in the mirror for once.
(Joso, instead of the reaction that Chris expected, which was not a pleasant one, is instead taken aback by all of this. He doesn’t respond immediately, instead taking a few steps back as he takes a good moment to process all of this. Chris seems to believe that he’s gotten through to him and reached an understanding, and for a moment it seems like Joso does as well. He nods his head, seemingly getting the gist as he brings his microphone back up.)
Joso: You know what, man, you’re right. I was tripping, I needed that. Appreciate it.
(Joso holds out his hand, as Chris quickly goes to shake it. The two pull each other into a hug as the crowd cheers loudly for this moment. But that is until all the emotion on the face of Joso begins to slowly drain, as the camera gets a good shot of it.)
Stew-O: OH! JOSO JUST KICKED CHRIS ELITE UNDER THE BELT! LOW BLOW!
(Chris falls to his knees in pain, as Joso looks down at him with a remorseless look on his face. The crowd boos loudly at this turn of events, as Joso grabs him, yelling at him as he then begins to deliver hard punches to his face.)
Flannery McCoy: WHY?! WHY WOULD JOSO DO THIS?!
Jake Mercer: WHY ARE YOU ASKING WHY?! HE’S SICK IN THE HEAD!
(Joso then shoves Chris down to the ground, rolling out of the ring and making his way over to the timekeeper’s area as he snatches the chair that Stephie Love was seated on. He then makes his way over, rolling back into the ring while Chris stumbles up to his feet…)
(CRACK!)
Stew-O: JOSO WITH A CHAIR SHOT TO THE HEAD!
(CRACK!)
(CRACK!)
(CRACK!)
(CRACK!)
Flannery McCoy: AND NOW HE’S BEGINNING TO BATTER HIM WITH SHOTS TO THE SPINE AND THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! THIS IS BRUTAL!
Jake Mercer: BUT THANK GOD FOR THE OFFICIALS! THEY’RE RUSHING OUT HERE!
(Referees quickly slide in and break up the scene, as they check up on Chris who is practically pouring blood from his forehead. Joso is yelling at him while gripping the chair in his hand, trying to break free but ultimately it’s no use. The crowd continues to boo loudly for ‘The New Era’, as the last shot seen is him being escorted away from the ringside area and toward the back as Friday Night Dynasty begins to fade to elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown with Jake Smith advocating for a rebuild of the Los Angeles Clippers, stop the pain.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen… The following Cash In The Vault Tournament Semi-Finals Match is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
(‘Loose Change (Instrumental Version)’ by The Alchemist can be heard through the arena as Shinzo Sasaki makes his way out the entrance way as Ricky and KAI-ZEN accompany him from behind as he makes his way to the ring with a confident strut and smirk on his face.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… From Kobe, Japan… Weighing in at 220 lbs… He is the “Leader of The Underworld”… SHINZOOOOOOOOOO SASAKIIIIIIIIIII!!!
Jake Mercer: Now here’s a guy that can get the job done! Last week he was able to cleanly beat bozo Ryan Wilson to advance in the Cash In The Vault Tournament to the semifinals and now he’s looking to clean up yet another mess from MITSU as he’s facing off against Donovan Duke from Voltage here tonight!
Stew-O: I don’t know if “mess” is the proper word, but Donovan Duke did beat MITSU last week to advance in this tournament and now Shinzo Sasaki has an opportunity to silence some of the doubt MITSU has brought towards KAI-ZEN as a whole, the question is will he be able to do that?
(‘I Rise’ by Cory Marks starts to replace Shinzo Sasaki’s theme as Donovan Duke’s theme can be heard loudly from the speakers as the fans cheer loudly for Donovan Duke who’s making his way down the ring staring down Shinzo and his entourage.)
Stephie Love: Introducing his opponent… From Stillwater, Oklahoma… Weighing in at 212 lbs… He is “The Oklahoma Storm”… DONOVAAAAAAAAAAN DUUUUUUUUUUKE!!!
Jake Mercer: Speaking of said doubt, here comes Donovan Duke looking to possibly win that Cash In The Vault he failed to win at Pain For Pride, but with an opponent as focused and as dangerous as Shinzo the odds are at an all time low for the Voltage scum!
Flannery McCoy: The only odds that are at an all time low is if you’ll ever grow a functioning brain; Donovan Duke has been proving all this season so far that he’s ready for the big times and if he can pick up the win here tonight I believe that the winner of the whole thing is going to be none other than Oklahoma’s own Donovan Duke!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: We are on our way as Shinzo Sasaki and Donovan Duke stare each other down while KAI-ZEN and Ricky are on the outside supporting one of their members here tonight as both men start to quickly make their way to the middle of the ring and grab each other, but Shinzo is able to easily push Donovan off him. Donovan Duke ain’t giving up easy however as he quickly gets back up and runs up on Shinzo, but quickly is put down as Shinzo Sasaki puts Donovan Duke down with a beautiful Saito Suplex! As quickly as he was put down, Shinzo puts Donovan into a Headlock as he tightens the hold tightly, but that doesn’t stop Donovan Duke from trying to fight out of it. Donovan is slowly getting up while still on the Headlock as both elitists are kneeling at this point until they are back on both feet and Donovan pushes Shinzo off him towards the ropes! Shinzo however rebounds off the ropes and knocks Donovan back down on his back as a strong Lariat from Shinzo takes him down!
Jake Mercer: Shinzo is showing Donovan Duke that he may have been able to beat MITSU last week, but Shinzo is nothing like him as KAI-ZEN and Ricky look at Shinzo’s performance so far in approval and I do not blame them! He’s showing that Voltage scum how we get it done here in Dynasty! He’s not done just yet though as this match has just barely begun as he’s looking to show that he’s not just power by going for a Sasakisault… but Donovan Duke had his knees up as Shinzo’s Standing Moonsault only made him fall gut first into those knees! Donovan pushes Shinzo off him as he looks at KAI-ZEN and Ricky with a smirk on his face before quickly getting back up and hitting a Standing Moonsault of his own onto Shinzo Sasaki successfully! Back up on his feet, Donovan Duke isn’t done showing off just yet as he starts to deadlift the downed Shinzo to position him for a Deadlift German Suplex right in the middle of the ring! Both these elitists clearly want to advance in this Cash In The Vault Tournament as the winner here tonight advances to the finals where they face off against the winner of Charlie Marr versus Ruler over on Voltage.
Flannery McCoy: I would say I am surprised you even watch Voltage the way you insult anyone that’s not from Dynasty, but I forget you’re the self proclaimed “Wrestling Connoisseur” here, but you’re right that the winner between these two does advance and face off the winner of the other semifinal match over on Voltage. Though, what’s more important for both these gentlemen is focusing on their opponent that’s in front of them here tonight as both these men can easily win here tonight, but only one can advance to the finals. Donovan Duke slowly picks up Shinzo however as he Irish Whips him towards the ropes and hits him with a nice Lariat as Shinzo rebounded back to Donovan! Looks like Donovan is trying to weaken Shinzo Sasaki a bit more as he starts to hook him in for a Boston Crab, but Shinzo is still not out as he kicks Donovan off him. Shinzo quickly gets back up and with a Rolling Elbow leaves Donovan on rubber legs dazed as he makes sure Donovan goes down on the mat with a vicious Yakuza kick that causes Donovan to crash down to the mat!
Stew-O: Looks like Shinzo is looking for another attempt at his SasakiSault at the Standing Moonsault connects! Quickly Shinzo starts to go for another Headlock on Donovan Duke as he struggles to get to the ropes while Shinzo attempts to prevent it… Donovan however is able to get his foot on the rope as the referee starts to count and quickly Shinzo Sasaki lets go as Donovan slowly gets back up using the ropes to aid him as both elitists stare each other down and charge at each other. Shinzo Sasaki and Donovan Duke start trading blows back and forth as Donovan hits him with a Left Hook that sends him back towards the ropes. Shinzo rebounds looking to use the momentum to hit Donovan Duke with another Lariat, but Donovan is quick to see it coming from a mile and takes down Shinzo Sasaki with a Spinebuster that plans Shinzo in the middle of the ring mat as Donovan starts to head towards the corner and climbs to the top rope!
Jake Mercer: What’s Donovan Duke looking to do here from that far distance away from poor Shinzo? You know what? He deserved the consequences of his stupid decision here as… HE GOES FOR A MOONSAULT AND IT LANDS?!? WHAT A DISTANCE AND HE’S NOT DONE JUST YET AS HE QUICKLY GETS UP AND HITS ANOTHER STANDING MOONSAULT AND GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOO-!!!
Jake Mercer: Kick out from Shinzo Sasaki after taking two Moonsaults back to back, but I mean what else did we expect from Dynasty’s finest ya’ know? Donovan isn’t done here just yet as he now puts Shinzo into a Headlock of his own, but Shinzo is trying to fight out of it as he quickly tries to get up while Donovan Duke keeps the lock on tightly. As both elitists are kneeling, they both slowly get back up on their feet, and Shinzo starts to push Donovan Duke towards the ropes as he successfully does! Before the referee can even start the separation count, Shinzo uses the ropes to help him with his Irish Whip as Donovan Duke hits the ropes from the other side and rebounds off them! Using the momentum from the rebound Donovan Duke is looking to hit a Spear on Shinzo Sasaki… DEEP CUT OUT OF NOWHERE AS SHINZO CONNECTS WITH THE FRANKENSTEINER THAT SPIKES DONOVAN’S HEAD DOWN ON THE MAT!
Flannery McCoy: What a beautiful reversal from the “Leader of The Underworld” as Shinzo quickly goes for the cover after spiking Donovan’s head down on the mat! Is this enough to send Shinzo Sasaki here tonight to the finals of the Cash In The Vault Tournament?!?
ONEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TH-!!!
Flannery McCoy: A kick out from Donovan Duke as Shinzo has a slight smirk on his face before he slowly starts to pick up Donovan from the ground and slowly drag him to the closest corner, but Donovan pushes Shinzo off him allowing himself some breathing room. Too bad that Shinzo was quick with a Running Elbow Strike to the cornered Donovan Duke as he leaves him dazed and on rubber legs, quickly using this for his advantage as he Irish Whips Donovan to the ropes, and as he rebounds, Shinzo picks him up for a Tiger Driver down to the mat… Yet, Shinzo isn’t done just here as he doesn’t let go of Donovan Duke and is looking to hit him with another Tiger Driver, but Donovan was quick using all his adrenaline to hit Shinzo with a Franksteiner of his own that spikes Shinzo Sasaki on his head! Both men are down as Donovan starts to slowly crawl his way to the corner nearby and picks himself back up.
Stew-O: KAI-ZEN and Ricky on the outside looking at Donovan Duke in disapproval, but Donovan ignores them as best as he can while slowly picking Shinzo back up as he attempted to crawl to the nearest corner he was by as Donovan Duke positions him for a Powerbomb as he plants him down on the mat, but Donovan showcasing his strength here tonight as he doesn’t let Shinzo go from the Powerbomb position and lifts him back up for a second Powerbomb finally releasing him from his grasp! Donovan quickly makes his way to the corner that Shinzo Sasaki tried making his way to as he climbs to the top rope and without a second thought he takes a dive as he looks for “Stack The Deck” as the Phoenix Splash connects! A quick cover from Donovan now, is this enough to put down Shinzo?!?
ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THREEE-!!!
Jake Mercer: A kick out from Shinzo as the match continues, but it seems “The Oklahoma Storm” Donovan Duke is looking to stamp his ticket to the finals as he starts to quickly try to pick Shinzo Sasaki for “Royal Flush” trying to connect the Widow’s Peak… Shinzo however puts all his weight down as he quickly positions Donovan for a Snap Suplex reversal that plants Donovan down on the mat! This is how Dynasty can win that Cash In The Vault tournament as long as Shinzo keeps fighting and showing the world why he is one of the very best talents on this whole brand! The Snap Suplex wasn’t enough to put down Donovan though as he groggily gets up, but Shinzo was prepared for it as he made his way to the outer part of the apron beforehand and is using the ropes to put Donovan Duke down with a Springboard Missile Dropkick as Shinzo Sasaki rolls back up on his feet!
Flannery McCoy: Shinzo Sasaki is really showing all of the Japanese youth why they should be just like him here tonight; I mean he’s looking quite impressive and if he wasn’t facing Donovan Duke here tonight, he would’ve been my clear favorite, but that doesn’t matter as Shinzo is preparing to get this match finished with as he starts to pick up Donovan Duke as he positions him for “Enter The Dragon” as the Vertical Drop Brainbuster connects with the ring mat and quickly, Shinzo goes for the cover!
ONEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THREEEEE-!!!
Flannery McCoy: Donovan Duke with a kick out before the three count! Shinzo grabs onto Donovan’s head as he kicked out and starts to slowly pick him up as he starts to set up for “The Poison Pill” as he attempts a Swinging Reverse STO transitioned into a DDT, but Donovan using his adrenaline to push Shinzo away from him as both men look at each other and go for a Lariat and knocking each other down to the mat as they both connect with it! Who’s going to get up and get the advantage that can possibly send them to the finals of this tournament?!?
Jake Mercer: It seems Donovan Duke is now slowly picking himself back up after the double Lariat as he’s looking to take advantage of this situation. C’mon Shinzo get back up and show the world that Dynasty is the number one show! Shinzo is getting back up, what can I say, my words are inspirational as both elitists are back up and they start to trade blows in the middle of the ring, who’s going to advance to the finals and whose dreams are being crushed here tonight?!? It seems Donovan gets the advantage as he hits Shinzo with an “Ole Reliable” Right Hook to the jaw that sends Shinzo stumbling a few inches back as Donovan Duke quickly runs the ropes and off a rebound hits Shinzo with a Spear! Please for all that is holy, do not let this Voltage Scum win here tonight!!!
Flannery McCoy: Relax there Jake, the match isn’t over just yet as Donovan Duke starts to yell at Shinzo to get back up as Shinzo is struggling to get back up and as he’s fully up Donovan Duke goes for “Dealer’s Choice” as the Spinning Back Fist connec- NO, SHINZO SASAKI GRABS DONOVAN FROM THE WRIST AS HE POSITIONS HIM FOR “MADVILLAINY” AS THE WRIST CLUTCH EXPLODER CONNECTS! SHINZO NOW GOES FOR THE COVER, WILL THIS BE IT?!?
ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner and advancing to the finals of the Cash In The Vault Tournament… He is the “Leader of The Underworld”… SHINZOOOOOOOOOOOOO SASAKIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!
Stew-O: What an impressive win here tonight from Shinzo Sasaki as he took down one of Voltage’s best to advance to the finals where he will either go on to face Charlie Marr or Ruler. All we know is that whatever the finals match is, it will be competitive, it’ll be a great match, and both elitists will give it their all to make sure that THEY walk out as Mr. Cash In The Vault!
Jake Mercer: Ah, you love to see it ladies and gentlemen; Dynasty is back on top as our guy Shinzo Sasaki put down some Voltage scum here tonight and as he awaits for his opponent in the finals, best believe KAI-ZEN, Ricky, and him will be preparing for that match to make sure that there will only be one winner and it’ll be the “Leader of The Underworld”!
Flannery McCoy: We can’t ignore the valiant effort from Donovan Duke as he almost had this match won, but he just didn’t have enough in his tank to get the win here tonight as Shinzo Sasaki used his own move against him to pick up the win. What’s next for Donovan Duke as he failed his second opportunity to hold Cash In The Vault and what will happen as Shinzo awaits the finals match? Only time will tell…
(Shinzo Sasaki is seen slowly leaving the ring as he makes his way up the ramp with KAI-ZEN and Ricky following him. Shinzo has a confident look on his face as he makes his way backstage as the camera transitions to a devastated Donovan Duke slowly picking himself back up as the scene fades to black.)
(A commercial plays for Persona 5 Tactica, which is out now!)
(As the scene fades in, a soft glow illuminates a pristine white room. The walls are devoid of any decoration, creating an almost surreal and minimalist atmosphere. In the center of the room, a solitary wooden chair stands with simple elegance. Its polished surface reflects the soft light, adding a touch of warmth to the otherwise sterile environment.)
(Beside the chair, a small side table completes the scene. It holds a single object, providing a focal point in this blank canvas of a room: a book.)
(As the camera lingers on the solitary book, a sense of anticipation fills the room. The title on the book’s spine remains unread, leaving its contents shrouded in mystery. Suddenly, the pristine stillness is shattered by the voice of someone who can’t be seen.)
Producer: (off camera) Just take a seat here.
(The sound of measured footsteps punctuates the quiet. The person in question who just entered takes their seat on the chair and looks forward However, it isn’t the same individual. Five, in fact.)
(Myles.)
(Jake Smith.)
(SOSA Henderson.)
(Hans Grayson.)
(Jay Jerry Johnson.)
(Various shots of them sitting down by themselves are seen. In a synchronized motion, they each reach for the mysterious volume. As the book opens, the camera captures fleeting glimpses of pages filled with images, documenting crucial moments from each individual’s respective career. The room, now transformed into a reflective space, becomes a nexus of shared memories and experience.)
(SOSA Henderson is the first Elitist that’s focused on. He traverses through the pages. He sees himself with Heart Break Boy. He sees the moment he won the New Breed Championship. He sees a shot of himself lifting the EAW World Championship. Then, there was Soul Food Sunday, and the moment when Viz attacked him.)
SOSA Henderson: It’s been a hell of a time for me. For sure. A lotta highs, and a lotta lows. I have never been the type to shy away from that, though. In fact, I’ve owned up to it time and time again. There’s no shame on my part. However, it does leave me a bit frustrated when people here want to focus on the negative stuff all the time, acting as if I can never come back. Last season ended with me out of action, but that had a lot of people preemptively calling for my downfall when that wasn’t the case. I wasn’t going to be down and out for long. I was going to come back, and I was going to prove to everyone that Big SOSA wasn’t done for good. Far from it.
(He turns the page, capturing him making his entrance for his first match since the attack.)
SOSA Henderson: I’m not a quitter. Never have been, never will be. People had their fun making the Terry jokes, or saying how I started not to care towards the end of Soul Food Sunday, but one thing about me is that I never let any of that get to me. I mean, when you got all sorts of people trying to play with your name, it can cause someone to start doubting themselves, maybe even buying into the idea that they’re better off stepping away, but if I did that? I would have proven their point. I would have done an injustice to myself. Where I come from, with my background, I had many people thinking I wouldn’t make it, but I did, so what would I look like giving the same clowns who want to think that SOSA’s time under the sun is done the satisfaction they badly want?
SOSA Henderson: Hell, that’s what Viz wanted. He wanted to use me as the scapegoat badly for his own failures. He wanted to add on to the noise. He may have won at the Last Stand, and it sucks, but you know what? That doesn’t mean he was right about me. He wanna say how SOSA is complacent, SOSA ain’t the same, but sure enough, I found my way to this match. Me. I’ve been at the top of my game. I actually was able to put this brand on my back and prove to everyone I still have what it takes to be an actual leader.
(A photo shows him and Ms. Extreme celebrating at Territorial Invasion.)
SOSA Henderson: I’ve shown I still have what it takes to be a world champion-caliber competitor.
(Various photos show the gruesome moments of SOSA versus Bronson Daniels at House of Glass.)
SOSA Henderson: So, for all the people out there who wanna think they can laugh and act like shit’s sweet? You’re going to look real stupid. In the end, I’m going to get the last laugh, all while holding the EAW World Heavyweight Championship in my hand.
(SOSA pauses.)
SOSA Henderson: And I definitely plan on laughing over Jake Smith’s bum ass, too.
(From there, we cut to the aforementioned Jake Smith in the chair, shaking his head.)
Jake Smith: Oh, he said that? Yeah, that’s not going to be happening.
(In the next shot, he flickers through, recalling everything in his career: his time in Insurgency, his PURE Championship run, his tag team runs with Bronson Daniels and Chris Elite, his Cash in the Vault win, and ultimately, him being able to complete is own tale as he won the Answers World Championship at Road to Redemption just a year ago.)
Jake Smith: Besides, if there’s anyone looking to get the last laugh, that would be me. I know I had some people sour on me by the time Pain for Pride came around. They thought I took things to far with Adam Lucas. They thought I got too ahead of myself. They thought as if I shifted from a guy who always busted his ass and tried to push through to someone full of himself. And you know what? I can’t blame them for thinking that way. However, everything I said to him came from a place where I wanted to establish myself, and I was desperate to ensure that my reign would go down as one of the all-time greats. I spent much of my career getting berated and clowned on. Just last season, everyone thought that I wasn’t meant to be a world champion at all.
(Jake takes a moment to pause. He sighs, shaking his head. His thumb traces along a picture of him holding the world championship.)
Jake Smith: I’m not justifying it. However, I was tired of taking things lying down and letting a lot of people run rampant saying all sorts of ridiculous things about me. I definitely wasn’t in the camp of having my own story come to an end while Adam’s was propped up. I was a little bitter, and it spilled out. Still, I lost, and while it absolutely sucked, I wasn’t in the camp of complaining. I put in the work necessary to have become a world champion for the first time in my career, and I was willing to do it over again… had a certain someone not gotten in the way of it.
(The camera briefly focuses on the new page Jake turns. It shows him on the floor, bloodied and in agony, as Andre Walker stands over him.)
Jake Smith: …
(He exhales sharply through his nose.)
Jake Smith: After all I had done, I was taken out. I was made to feel and look weak. I was treated as some pawn. All of a sudden, I went from someone who was at the top of the competition to someone all the way at the bottom of it. It was as if I was back the square one with people taking pity on me, and I hated that. That’s why, when I came back, I had a chip on my shoulder.
(A picture captures the moment Jake attacks Andre at Territorial Invasion.)
Jake Smith: And that’s why I’m not gonna shrink myself down. I’m done being humble. I’m done letting everyone talk about any which way they choose or thinking that I’m some easy target for them. I know I can be the best here. I know that I am one of the best, pure talents there is in this entire world. Now, I’m looking to get what is mine, and that is the EAW World Heavyweight Championship – and I will show everyone that counting me out is the stupidest thing you can do.
(He emphatically shuts the book closed.)
Jake Smith: And unlike certain people, this isn’t going to end with me losing and acting as if the whole world is against me when I just plain suck. SOSA can have his fun having my name in his mouth all day long, but what’s going to matter is him saying that I am the new world heavyweight champion at Road to Redemption, and he has no choice but to admit that I was the better man and the better champion out of the two of us.
(Moving from him, Jay Jerry Johnson is in the chair next. He looks at the photo of him winning the Interwire Championship at Pain for Pride, celebrating and proud as can be.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: It’s been quite the journey, I must say. I’ve flirted with the main event scene throughout my time here. I’ve had my moments where I was on fire, but then slipped back down and had difficulty getting myself back up. I know that there was a point where I was seen as one of the more inconsistent Elitists on the roster. Having that sort of reputation was like a dark cloud over my head. I knew I had to do everything I could to get it away from me, and in spite of the failures I had to deal with, I kept it moving. I wasn’t going to quit. I eventually found my way to Pain for Pride, and the rest? Well, it’s history.
Jay Jerry Johnson: That title reign helped me out a lot. It gave me the confidence I needed, reinforcing my belief that I could go far here. I defended the Interwire Championship as though it were on par with the world title because that’s how much it meant to me. I knew I wouldn’t reign forever, but I knew I had to make every match count. I got far enough with it, even when some people thought I’d lose on the first defense. I’ve been able to defeat former champions and even main eventers in my own right while I carried that title with pride. I have silenced the quitters and doubters. I proved that I could be a capable champion. I wasn’t the same man I was a year ago who thought he was ready at the time. I am a man who is more than prepared and is willing to do everything he can to showcase that.
Jay Jerry Johnson: The chamber match last year wasn’t mine to win, but this one is. This time, things will be different. I will be able to stand in the ring with some of the best talent here and beat them all. I will be the one who gets to raise that world heavyweight championship up high and just like I did with the Interwire Championship, show to everyone that the Artist is the real deal.
(The scene shifts to Hans Grayson, looking back at him defeating Caroline at Pain for Pride to capture the New Breed Championship.)
Hans Grayson: I think people thought I had what it took to be a champion here. I always believed in myself. Still, seeing what I’ve been able to do and accomplish so far, it does leave me amazed at times. To be able to succeed this soon in my career, especially in a promotion as stacked and competitive as EAW, never fails to blow my mind. I’m proud of everything that I’ve done. Now, it’s time to go on for bigger things, and at least for me, that’s the world heavyweight championship.
(Hans smiles.)
Hans Grayson: I’m optimistic about my chances. I do believe I have what it takes to beat Bronson. For me, this is my graduation moment, and I’m looking to make the most of it. I’m going to give it my all and come out victorious. I could focus on how I lost the New Breed title and how I was physically unable to continue, but whereas some people may be upset, beat themselves up for it or even try and downplay those who won, I won’t. Perhaps if things were different, I’d still be the champion. Yet, the simple fact is that I’m not, and there’s no point concentrating about the past, the what-if’s, and could’ve-been’s. I’m solely focused on the future, my future, and I want my future to involve me holding the biggest prize in all of EAW today.
Hans Grayson: Unlike everyone else, I don’t have experience in this sort of match. I haven’t been in multiple world championship matches. This is my biggest test for me yet, but I’m not nervous. I’m eager to tackle it. I’m gonna pass it, show that the Fireheart has what it takes to burn up the competition here in EAW, and even though I may have a lot to prove, I’ll show that in the end–
Myles: – I deserve to be here.
(The camera pans to the right before returning, shifting to the chair. Myles is seen in it. He hangs his head low. The picture book is by his feet. It’s open on a page showing Myles looking on in disappointment after Fighting Spirit.)
Myles: I needed this match. I needed this moment. I needed this chance to redeem myself and garner back my spot at the top. I was never going to be content with how my second title reign ended. I was never going to settle. I have been on the relentless pursuit to claim what is rightfully mine after all of these months. Anyone who thought differently is nothing more than a fool and idiot. I was never afforded a rematch. I had to be met with eyes from peers filled with pity for me, and that didn’t help at all.
(A snapshot shows Myles wrestling against Limmy Monaghan at Pain for Pride.)
Myles: I had to be drawn away from what was important by distractions.
(Another photo features him and Theron Nikolas taking on DOMINION at Reckless Wiring.)
Myles: I was forced to work my way from the ground up…
(Another one shows Myles celebrating with Limmy and Kassidy Heart as he gets the win for his team at Territorial Invasion.)
Myles: … but that didn’t see me get what I’ve wanted after all this time.
(Various photos recount the brutal attack KAI-ZEN dished out onto Myles. One shot shows Myles heading into the ring despite his injuries, wanting to win. However, as shown in the last one, he’s unable to defeat Bronson Daniels for the World Heavyweight Championship.)
Myles: It’s always something, and it frustrates me. There’s no doubt in my mind that had I been at a hundred percent, I would be the one entering the chamber match as the defending champion right now. Not Bronson. Not him with his stupid fairytale. Not him getting to keep the title when luck seems to have carried him far thus far. However, that won’t last for much longer. His triumphant tale has overstayed its welcome, and I’m not going to let it continue. With everything I’ve had to deal with, I’m not going to lose. I should still be a world champion, but at the very least, at Road to Redemption, I get to call myself a three-time world champion. When I’m able to do that, I will do everything in my power to ensure that it doesn’t come to its premature end.
Myles: I’m winning. I’ve come too far now to fail. I don’t care that the others are in the same match. I will knock them all down one by one and eliminate them myself if it means get to be a champion yet again. Bronson may have had his time, but it’s about to end, and it will by my hands. No one else’s.
(The scene then flickers between all five men as they speak.)
SOSA Henderson: Bronson barely made it out alive. We all know this. He fought, yeah, but it wasn’t like I didn’t have the burner pressed to him. I’m the biggest challenge he’s ever faced. House of Glass had folks thinking that I would’ve beaten him. Not a single person here can tell me otherwise or they’d be lying. I KNOW I can beat him, and I’m gonna do just that. He’s not keeping that title. No one else is winning that title. The EAW World Heavyweight Championship got SOSA’s name written all over it, and I’m coming to get it, no matter what.
Jay Jerry Johnson: Bronson has been incredible, and his story is hard not to follow. He’s had an impressive rise to the top. Part of me will always respect him for the hardships he’s had to overcome to get to this position. However, respect will be thrown right out the window when that match happens. I came to win, and for as great of a champion he’s been, I know I have what it takes to be a world champion in my own right. I’m not going to let what unfolded last year reoccur again this year. I came too far and built myself up too much to let everything go to waste now. I must win.
Hans Grayson: Bronson’s spot? I definitely want. I want what he has and then some. I want to be the best champion in this entire promotion! I know I can do it. I’m going to do whatever it takes to get there. I’m going to do whatever it takes to win. I’m ready for this. Bronson is tough, as is the rest of the Elitists in this match, but that makes no difference to me. I’m not going to cower or shrink. They can bring their best, but I’ll be ready for them all the same. My time is here, and it will be realized at Road to Redemption.
Jake Smith: Bronson has done well for himself. I can’t help but be proud of him. It’d be easy to feel as if I’m conflicted because of that fact, because of our history, but I’m not. What matters the most to me is winning. I feel like I know Bronson better than anyone else in this match. I know his strengths, his weaknesses, and I’m the only one who can truly outdo him inside that ring. He has what I want, and I don’t want him keeping it any longer. I’m coming for that title, and it will be mine by the end of the night.
(Jake looks directly at the camera.)
Jake Smith: You had a hell of a run, Bronson, but it’s not going to last forever. At Road to Redemption–
(Then Jay.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: Your–
(Then Hans.)
Hans Grayson: Fairytale–
(Then SOSA)
SOSA Henderson: Story–
(And finally…)
Myles: Ends.
(All five look at the camera, confident as can be, before they each get up from the chair. They leave the room. The camera zooms in on the open book where a page is shown of Bronson Daniels. He moves, hoisting up the championship within it. The camera keeps the shot focused on it before the segment fades to black.)
(Dynasty fades back into the ringside area. Stephie Love can be seen in the ring as the next match is set to happen!)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A TAG TEAM MATCH AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘The Leaving Song Pt. II’ by AFI would hit the speakers of the arena to an explosion of cheers, as Hans Grayson makes his way out onto the stage, looking confident as he makes his way down the ramp. He was focused on tonight.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! From Vancouver, British Columbia, weighing in at 219 pounds, he is ‘FIRE HEART!!!!!’ HANSSSSSSSSS GRAYSONNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Even after losing his New Breed Championship just a couple of weeks ago, Hans Grayson has shown no signs of slowing down, and just last week had proven that as he defeated Xander Payne to qualify for the Extreme Elimination Chamber.
Flannery McCoy: And now, ‘Fire Heart’ himself has a huge opportunity ahead of him at Road To Redemption, being able to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship, and I’m sure this week he is looking to send a huge message.
(Then, ‘Sakayume’ by King Gnu would hit the speakers as the crowd would turn into a more mixed reaction, and Jay Jerry Johnson makes his way onto the stage. He takes a look around, and begins to make his way down to the ring.)
Stephie Love: And his tag team partner! From Bridgeport, Connecticut, weighing in at 206 pounds, he is THE ‘ARTIST!!!!!!’ HE IS TRIPLE J!!!! JAAAAYYY JERRRYYYY JOOHNNNSONN!!!!!
Jake Mercer: And Triple J is in the same exact boat as Hans Grayson right now!
Stew-O: That he is, Jake. Much like Hans Grayson, Jay Jerry Johnson is coming off losing a championship – this being in the form of the Interwire Championship – at the most recent Dynasty exclusive marquee event, and had a huge bounce back qualifying into the chamber. Now these two team together tonight, looking to beat two of Dynasty’s top guys.
(‘Enemy Strike’ by YUKI HAYASHI would then hit the speakers, the mixed reaction had stayed the same, as Myles would slowly make his way out next. He did not have his eyes on anything else but the ring, not even taking a second to take in the reaction, as he made his way down to the ring.)
Flannery McCoy: When it comes to Myles, it’s all about making it back to the very top of the mountain and rightfully claiming his spot as a world champion once more, and this time without having to feel any despair while doing so.
Stew-O: I’m sure Myles just as much as everyone else involved in this match has a statement that they are looking to prove here tonight, and I have no doubt that he is going to try his hardest to make sure he does exactly that.
(And finally, ‘Clash of Gods’ by Norihito Sumitomo hits the speakers of the arena to an explosion of cheers, the loudest reaction out of them all, as Bronson Daniels walks out with the World Heavyweight Championship strapped around his waist. He takes a moment to take in the reaction, smiling to himself before making his way down the ramp.)
Jake Mercer: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
Flannery McCoy: Be quiet, Jake.
Stew-O: Bronson Daniels already knows just how much the World Heavyweight Championship means to him, as does his fanbase and everyone watching at home, so I don’t need to give any further explanation. Bronson is a fighting champion and someone who has a target on his back tonight, and I’m sure he would love to send a message to all of those challengers that will be within the Extreme Elimination Chamber a message through this match tonight.
(Bronson would make it down to the ring, as the referee would gain order before the match began. The two teams have discussions with each other before the bell rings, until it is decided on Hans Grayson and Bronson Daniels starting this match.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: And this tag team match is underway! These four contestants are going to be a part of the Extreme Elimination Chamber match in just a couple of weeks at Road To Redemption for the World Heavyweight Championship, and what better way to start this match out for us with Hans Grayson, and the World Heavyweight Champion himself, Bronson Daniels! The two would begin to pace around the ring, keeping their eyes on each other, before they close the distance with an early collar and elbow tie up, both men looking to fight over the early control over this match!
Flannery McCoy: Neither men are looking to back down early on within this match, as they are both keeping their ground in the center of the ring… which causes an eventual break and a stalemate to follow! The crowd doesn’t know who they want to cheer for between these two men, as Hans and Bronson would begin to pace around again… and they lock up once again! Engaging into another collar and elbow tie up for another fight for control!
Jake Mercer: But this time, it looks like the World Heavyweight Champion is going to make an early statement to one of his many future challengers… BY PUSHING HANS OUT OF THE LOCKUP AND SENDS HIM RIGHT INTO THE ROPES! Although a disrespectful move by the champion, I don’t think it was with disrespectful intentions; but it’s clear that Bronson wants to show that he isn’t going to back down.
Stew-O: And it looks like Hans Grayson may have something to say about that… but Jay Jerry Johnson stops him from advancing! Hans looks towards Triple J with a confused look, but Jay extends his hand out, asking for the tag, AND HANS OBLIGES, AND HE TAGS TRIPLE J IN!
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: And it looks like we are going to be starting at square one now! The former Interwire Champion wants his shot at the champ within this match, as he quickly enters into the ring… AND JAY JERRY JOHNSON IS QUICK TO ADVANCE TOWARDS BRONSON, LOOKING TO OUT MAT WRESTLE HIM HERE! Jay keeps trying to grab onto any body limb that he can to take advantage, but Bronson is using his quick feet work to his advantage to slip away from any advancements…
Jake Mercer: …BUT JAY DROPS DOWN TO THE MAT, AND HE SWEEPS BRONSON’S LEGS FROM UNDERNEATH HIM! The World Heavyweight Champion drops right onto his ass, and Jay’s quick to chomp at the blood in the water, and he mounts right on top of Bronson, before twisting over into a grounded headlock! Bronson has been taken off guard by the former Interwire Champion, and Jay shows no signs of slowing down in this match tonight!
Stew-O: And it looks like Bronson Daniels might find his way out of the headlock, BUT JAY JERRY JOHNSON ALMOST IMMEDIATELY TRANSITIONS AROUND AND GETS BRONSON ONTO HIS STOMACH, WRAPPING HIS ARMS AROUND HIM… AND JAY BEGINS A GATOR ROLL! The World Heavyweight Champion has no way of stopping this, as Jay is looking to wear him down here, BUT BRONSON MANAGES TO REACH OUT AND MAKE A BLIND TAG TO MYLES! JAY DIDN’T NOTICE!
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: And Myles is quick to enter into the ring… GRIPPING ONTO TRIPLE J AND YANKING HIM RIGHT OFF OF BRONSON DANIELS, BEFORE SLAMMING HIM INTO THE MAT WITH A WRESTLING TAKEDOWN… AND MYLES SHOOTS A KICK RIGHT INTO JAY’S CHEST! That is a very effective way to slow down the former Interwire Champion; with sheer aggression, as Myles rips Jay back up to his feet once more and…
Jake Mercer: HE THROWS HIM OVERHEAD WITH A HUGE GERMAN SUPLEX! JAY GETS DROPPED RIGHT ONTO HIS HEAD! Myles is handling his business here tonight in the best way possible! He quickly scrambles over towards the downed Triple J, and he hooks the leg, looking to put an end to this match before it could truly pick up, and to pick up the win for himself and the World Champion!
ONEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: BUT HANS GRAYSON RUNS INTO THE RING AND BREAKS UP THE PINFALL WITH A MASSIVE SUPERKICK ON THE FACE! Myles might just be caught off guard from that superkick as Hans quickly clutches Jay by the wrist, and he drags him back over into his corner! The Fire Heart would exit out onto the apron, AND HE TAGS HIMSELF BACK INTO THIS MATCH, LOOKING TO TAKE QUICK ADVANTAGE HERE!
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: And Hans Grayson quickly enters back into the ring as Myles begins to stir back up to his feet… AND ANOTHER SUPERKICK! ANOTHER SUPERKICK TAKES MYLES BACK DOWN TO HIS KNEES! Hans looks to waste zero time here, as he lines Myles up for a picture perfect… ENZIGURI KICK… BUT MYLES MOVES OUT OF THE WAY, HANS CRASHING INTO THE MAT AS MYLES POPS TO HIS FEET… STOMPING DOWN ONTO GRAYSON’S LEG WITH SHEER FORCE!
Jake Mercer: That’s one way to stop that, as Hans lets out an absolute cry of sheer agony from the stomp, and he has nowhere to go! Myles bends over and grabs Hans by the hair, ripping him back up to his feet and it looks like he is going to attempt to take advantage… BUT HANS GRAYSON DROPS BACK INTO THE MAT, AND HE CATCHES MYLES WITH A PELE!
Stew-O: NO! MYLES CATCHES THE LEG… AND HE YANKS HANS GRAYSON RIGHT BACK UP TO HIS FEET, BEFORE GOING FOR A LARIAT, ONLY FOR HANS TO DUCK OUT OF THE WAY OF IT, AND MYLES TURNS AROUND… AND HANS DROPS DOWN, THIS TIME CONNECTING WITH THE PELE KICK! The nasty pele kick hits the mark this time around, and Myles looks dazed!
Flannery McCoy: And Hans Grayson quickly scrambles back up to his feet while Myles was still on his feet… HE SHOOTS IN AND CONNECTS WITH THE ‘FLAMING PUNCH!!!’ FLYING CLOSED FIST DROPS MYLES AND HANS INTO A COVER!
ONEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT BRONSON DANIELS RUNS IN AND HE MAKES THE SAVE AT THE VERY LAST SECOND!!!! Hans Grayson almost had this match won right then and there for his team, but it was the World Heavyweight Champion who managed to save it for his team! Bronson stumbles back up to his feet… AND JAY JERRY JOHNSON TRIES TO RUSH AT BRONSON TO STOP HIM FROM ANY FURTHER ASSAULTS, BUT BRONSON HALTS IT, AND HE SENDS JAY OUT OF THE RING INSTEAD! JAY GOES FLYING!
Stew-O: AND HANS GRAYSON POPS UP TO HIS FEET, AND HE RUNS IN CATCHING BRONSON WITH A CLOTHESLINE THAT SENDS THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OVER THE ROPES! Bronson lands back onto the apron, as Hans would take a quick breather, before he turns around… BUT HE TURNS AROUND INTO A SPINNING BACK ELBOW BY MYLES! SPINNING BACK ELBOW… AND MYLES THEN FOLLOWS UP WITH A POP-UP BACK ELBOW STRIKE TO THE ‘FIRE HEART!’ HANS LOOKS OUT, BRONSON TAGS BACK IN!
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: And Myles lets Hans Grayson drop to the floor and to all fours as he exits out onto the apron, AND BRONSON DANIELS BEGINS TO SCALE TO THE TOP ROPE… JUMPING INTO THE FRAY AND LAUNCHING ONTO GRAYSON WITH A DIVING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE BACK! GRAYSON CRIES OUT IN AGONY! Remember, Hans has a history of lingering injuries from his New Breed Championship reign and being a fighting champion, and they are continued to be exploited!
Jake Mercer: And Bronson grabs Grayson by the hair, dragging him back over into the center of the ring before he begins to pick him up… BUT HANS ON INSTINCT ALONE SHOOTS AROUND AND NAILS BRONSON WITH AN ENZIGURI! BUT BRONSON STAYS ON HIS FEET, AND HE DROPS ONTO HANS WITH AN AX KICK TO THE HEAD! Hans looks to be completely out of it, as Bronson yanks him back up to his feet… BUT HANS BREAKS OUT OF IT…
Stew-O: …AND HE LATCHES ONTO BRONSON, LOOKING FOR A HUGE DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER, ONLY FOR THE CURRENT WORLD CHAMPION TO HOLD ONTO HIM, AND THEN SLAMS HIM DOWN INTO THE MAT! Hans lands hard into the mat, but Bronson holds onto him by the legs, and whatever he is going for right now isn’t going to be good, and isn’t going to be pretty whatsoever! AS BRONSON ENDS UP FALLING BACKWARDS AND…
Flannery McCoy: PULLING THROUGH WITH A HUGE SLINGSHOT, AND HE SENDS HANS GRAYSON FLYING INTO THE AIR… AND THEN THROAT FIRST INTO THE ROPES! HANS GRAYSON LANDS THROAT FIRST INTO THE TOP ROPE, AND HE IS GASPING FOR AIR! HANS MAY BE DONE FOR, AS HE STUMBLES AROUND, AND TURNS!!!
Jake Mercer: AND HE TURNS RIGHT INTO ‘CHROME HEARTS!!!!’ THE SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK TAKES HANS GRAYSON’S HEAD CLEAN OFF, AND HANS CRUMBLES TO THE MAT, AS THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION SCRAMBLES OVER AND INTO A COVER, HOOKING THE LEG, AND FOR THE WIN! HANS GRAYSON ISN’T GOING TO KICK OUT!
ONEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: HE KICKS OUT!!!! THE ‘FIRE HEART’ MANAGES TO KICK OUT OF THE ‘CHROME HEARTS’ SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK, AND THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION CAN’T BELIEVE IT! Bronson Daniels thought he had this match won! He was so close to picking up the victory, and yet Hans Grayson managed to deny him that satisfaction at the last second, and now Bronson has to go back to the drawing board thinking of how he’s going to put an end to this match!
Flannery McCoy: NO STEW, I THINK BRONSON IS ALREADY THINKING WAY AHEAD OF YOU! Bronson gets back up to his feet and he rips Hans Grayson up as well… AND THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION HOOKS ONTO NE OF HIS FUTURE CHALLENGERS FOR THAT VERY CHAMPIONSHIP HE HOLDS CLAIM TO… LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH ‘SAVAGE MODE!!!’ AND THE LIFTING UNDERHOOK GUTBUSTER…
Jake Mercer: …DOES NOT CONNECT! IT DOES NOT CONNECT AT ALL, AS HANS TWISTS HIMSELF OUT OF IT AND STUMBLES BACKWARDS INTO THE CORNER, AND JAY JERRY JOHNSON GETS A TAG INTO THE MATCH! A BLIND TAG IS MADE INSTANTLY!
(TAG!)
Stew-O: BUT BRONSON STILL SHOOTS RIGHT IN AT HANS GRAYSON WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT INTO THE CORNER! The World Heavyweight Champion didn’t see the blind tag made, and he launches Hans halfway across the ring with a snapmare, as Hans stumbles back up to his feet… AND BRONSON TRIES TO RUN IN AT THE ‘FIRE HEART…’ BUT JAY JERRY JOHNSON COMES FROM BEHIND AND NAILS A NASTY SUPERKICK TO THE BACK OF THE WORLD CHAMPION’S HEAD! BRONSON DANIELS GOES DOWN!
Flannery McCoy: AND MYLES DOES NOT LOOK HAPPY AT ALL, AS HE ENTERS INTO THE RING TRYING TO ATTACK TRIPLE J, ONLY FOR HANS TO INTERCEPT HIM; TACKLING HIM TO THE MAT AS THE TWO BEGIN TO FIGHT IT OUT, AND ROLLS TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING! IT HAS TURNED INTO AN ALL-OUT BRAWL BETWEEN THOSE TWO! Jay Jerry Johnson watches what is going on between the two of them, before he tries to grab Bronson to pick him back up to his feet…
Jake Mercer: BRONSON DANIELS NAILS A KICK TO THE FACE! Triple J stumbles away and it looks like that kick might have taken quite a number on him! Bronson starts to get back up to his feet as well, while the referee was still focusing on Myles and Hans Grayson’s brawl on the outside of the ring, and… WAIT, WHO IS THAT JUST ENTERED THE RING?!–
(CRACK!)
Stew-O: THAT… THAT WAS SOSA HENDERSON!!! SOSA JUST BLINDSIDED BRONSON DANIELS AND TOOK HIM OUT WITH A LEAD PIPE, BEFORE DIPPING! IT WAS A HIT AND RUN ATTACK AND JAY DIDN’T SEE IT HAPPEN, NOR DID THE REF! But Jay starts to get back up to his feet, and he sees the knocked out state that Bronson was in… AND TRIPLE J LIFTS THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION BACK UP, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH ‘LONG LIVE JAYISM!!!!’ IT CONNECTS! COVER!
ONEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS OF THIS MATCH… HANS GRAYSON AND JAY JERRY JOHNSON!!!!!
(‘Sakayume’ would hit the speakers of the arena once more to a very negative response, with some cheers here and there, as Jay Jerry Johnson was quick to get back up to his feet. He was surprised himself, as he looked down at the knocked out Bronson Daniels, while getting his arm raised high into the air by the referee in victory.)
Jake Mercer: 😆😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣
Stew-O: JAY JERRY JOHNSON HAS JUST PINNED THE CURRENT WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! It of course didn’t come without controversy, as while the referee was distracted and focused on Myles and Hans Grayson brawling through the ringside area, SOSA Henderson ran in and blindsided Bronson Daniels with a lead pipe, but still! This is huge!
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, Jay Jerry Johnson didn’t even see what happened either! That kick had him down, and by the time he got up, Bronson was down! However, this match was crucial and Jay did what needed to be done in order to get the pin! He picked up a huge victory not only for his team, but for himself in general! This is huge momentum heading into Road To Redemption! Congratulations to Hans Grayson, and most importantly; Triple J!
Jake Mercer: Congratulations indeed! Bronson loses! Life is good! :blessed:
Flannery McCoy: Either way, this may not go so smoothly without consequence. While Jay can celebrate with.. well, himself, since Hans and Myles are nowhere to be seen, I wouldn’t be surprised if Bronson confronted SOSA about his actions. :lupe:
Stew-O: I suppose we’ll see for ourselves next week if this has any implications. But for now, Jay gets to emerge victorious, and considering his history at Road to Redemption, this may have been the sort of win he needed to garner the confidence he needs to show that he belongs in the main event picture!
(Jay Jerry Johnson would continue to celebrate his pinfall victory over the World Heavyweight Champion. He took a look around him, seeing there was no signs of Myles and Hans Grayson as he simply shrugged, before Dynasty would fade out.)
(Friday Night Dynasty fades back in as the camera gets a good shot of the backstage area of the Matthew Knight Arena. The shot specifically focuses on a figure as he’s seen making his way through the halls, that being KAI-ZEN’s MITSU. Coming off of what was a crushing defeat against Chris Elite earlier in the night, it’s safe to say that things have not gone well for him. Last week he was commissioned by Ricky to go out on his own to prove himself, and while that didn’t happen last week against Donovan Duke, this week he was seemingly given a second chance. That second chance didn’t work out, and a disheveled, sorrowful MITSU seemingly knows that something is going to happen very soon regarding his status in the group.)
(He approaches the door to the KAI-ZEN locker room, putting his hand on the doorknob, frozen for a good moment. He doesn’t know what to expect out of this, whether it be a warm welcome or a painful goodbye, but all he knows right now is to keep an open mind. MITSU was one of the first people that Ricky approached to help kickstart what was going to be the start of a very bright future for him, and the formation of KAI-ZEN paved the way for bigger and better things for MITSU because of that. He never intended to squander that away, and even though loss after loss continues to pile up, he still hasn’t given up hope. Regardless, it was never his decision in the first place. He slowly opens the door and walks in to see the members of the group all seated, seemingly in conversation. Ricky, Shinzo Sasaki, Prince Tohru, and Mig De Decker are all seen talking amongst themselves. But they quickly stop as they see MITSU enter the room. The others, not really in the mood for talking despite how well the night went for them in regards to the Cash in The Vault tournament, allow Ricky to stand up from where he’s seated and make his way over to MITSU.)
Ricky: MITSU, it’s good to see you.
(Ricky holds out his hand, as MITSU slowly goes to shake it. It’s a surprisingly casual conversation, like nothing has happened, and he can’t help but wonder if they’re trying to give him a false sense of security. MITSU after some time tries to break the ice.)
MITSU: Did I miss anything?
Ricky: No, not at all. We were just discussing Shinzo’s victory tonight against Donovan Duke. But if you don’t mind, I would like to discuss with you a couple of things.
(Ricky’s grip tightens on their handshake, and MITSU quickly breaks away knowing the situation has taken a turn. MITSU sighs as he quickly speaks before Ricky can start.)
MITSU: Look, I know what this is about, and if you give me some time I’d like to plead my case, Ricky.
(Ricky keeps his silence, he doesn’t exactly need to hear anything else, having seen all that he needs to, but regardless he gives MITSU a chance.)
MITSU: I know what happened, and I understand why you’d particularly be frustrated about it. You’ve put a lot of stock into me and for you to be let down the way that you have, I’d have made the same decision that you are probably going to make as well. But I want you to know before we jump to any conclusions that I’ve done nothing but try my best. Ever since this situation started, I’ve gone out to the ring perhaps more motivated than ever not for my own means, but for the sake of KAI-ZEN. I wanted to prove myself, like I said, and even though it wasn’t enough these past two weeks… I still feel like there is some grounds for leeway in regards to my status in the group.
(Ricky shakes his head, a light smile to hide his true emotions. What MITSU is trying to do is get what is now going to be a third chance to prove himself, and right now Ricky does not seem very interested in that. He doesn’t need very much time to ponder at all.)
Ricky: The problem is that your “best” is not enough, and it hasn’t been for a very long time now. Once again, it’s a shame because of how much potential I happened to see in you, but at the end of the day, it’s been apparent that it’s all been for nothing. Your efforts have not been enough to warrant any of that. I don’t have time to settle for mediocrity especially after all that was already wasted in KAI-ZEN’s defeat at House of Glase, and there can be no mistakes made, I told you exactly that.
MITSU: Wait-
Ricky: I apologize, but there’s only so many chances that I can give, and unfortunately, your luck has run out. So I bear the burden of giving you the news… that you’re out of KAI-ZEN.
(MITSU is speechless right now, as he tries to formulate words to try and defend himself, but ultimately there’s no use.)
MITSU: Isn’t there another way?
Ricky: No, my decision is final.
MITSU: Please-
Ricky: I’m not going to repeat myself.
MITSU: I-
(Ricky gives an audible sigh, turning over to Shinzo, Tohru, and Mig who have both been watching this conversation. He gives a gesture as the three men stand up from where they are.)
MITSU: Ricky…
(But before he can say anything else, the three men hound MITSU and take him down to the ground, beginning to violently beat him down in the middle of the locker room. Ricky stands back, no regrets on his face as he watches the attack unfold. Before long, the three members of KAI-ZEN take MITSU and send him flying out the door of the locker room.)
(MITSU takes a hard tumble to the ground as they continue to beat him down on the concrete floor, making sure to send a message that there are absolutely no regrets about the decision that they made. Before it can get really out of hand though, security is seen filing in and breaking up the scene, stopping them from going any further with their attack. KAI-ZEN willingly stepped back, having already sent a message loud and clear. From there, they turn around and make their way back into the locker room while MITSU is being checked on.)
(Meanwhile, Ricky is seen at the entrance to the room. He shakes his head in disappointment before shutting the door, locking it behind him as it’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty fades elsewhere.)
(The camera cuts to Stephie Love in the ring.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR… ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(‘Stop Breathing’ by Playboi Carti plays to a mixed reaction from fans as Jake marches out to the stage area, a game expression on his face as he prepares to face SOSA. Jake spreads his arms, and saunters down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! Residing out of Atherton, California, weighing in at 210 pounds…HE IS THE PROCESS…JAKE SMITH!!
(“Faneto” by Chief Keef blares throughout the arena to another mixed reaction from fans, and SOSA Henderson saunters down the ramp, staring Jake down as he does so, focus etched across his face as well.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent! Hailing out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 191 pounds…HE IS BULLETPROOF…SOSA HENDERSON!
(Both competitors stare one another down from opposing corners as the referee signals the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Alright, we are underway! Our semi-main event of the evening, Jake Smith, SOSA Henderson, one-on-one. Both competitors circle one another to start things off, and engage a collar and elbow tie-up in the center of the ring! Both men jockey for position, and SOSA gets the upper hand, backing Jake in the corner. Smith shifts momentum, swapping places with Henderson, and pinning him in the corner.
Flannery McCoy: SOSA fights out of said corner, backing Jake to the opposite, and pinning him up against the turnbuckles. Again, Jake swaps places with SOSA, keeping him pressed against the corner in that collar and elbow. The referee gets involved, demanding a clean break between the two as he gets in between them.
Stew-O: The two men reluctantly separate from one another, and Jake backs away from SOSA, beckoning him to come forward. SOSA obliges, exiting the corner, and both competitors circle each other for a second time. Collar and elbo- NO! SOSA slips behind Jake for a rear waistlock instead, outsmarting the former Answers World Champion.
Jake Mercer: Doesn’t take much to outsmart someone like Jake.
Flannery McCoy: If you’re talking about you, I fully agree.
Jake Mercer: :wtf:
Flannery McCoy: SOSA spins Jake around, and grounds him with a standing side headlock takeover! SOSA wrenches on the hold momentarily, but Jake quickly finds an escape with a grounded headscissors, putting those legs to good use. Smith tightens the hold, but SOSA kicks out of it! Both men scramble back to their feet, and stare each other down, finding themselves in a stalemate.
Stew-O: Both men look to change that as they circle each other again. Another collar and elbow takes place, and Jake gets the upper hand with a standing side headlock, going down to a knee, bringing SOSA along with him as he further wrenches on the hold. SOSA powers back to a vertical base, and bounces Jake off the ropes!
Flannery McCoy: But Jake skids to a knee, keeping the hold applied! SOSA goes down to all fours, still finding himself trapped in the side headlock. Again, SOSA powers back to a vertical base, and looks to bounce Jake off the ropes again! This time, he’s successful, and Jake rebounds back. Leapfrog by SOSA! Followed by a dropdown! AND JAKE EATS A DROPKICK! BEAUTIFUL DROPKICK BY SOSA!
Jake Mercer: Caught him right on the button, and SOSA pulls Jake back to his feet. Body slam by SOSA, who runs off the ropes, and delivers a jumping knee drop onto Smith, catching him right between the eyes!
Stew-O: Jake sits up, favoring his head, and SOSA pulls him back to his feet. Jake tries to battle back with shots to the rib cage, but SOSA shuts that down with a clubbing blow to the back! Jake arches in pain as he staggers toward the ropes. SOSA is hot on his heels, and irish whips Jake off the ropes! JAKE REVERSES, SENDING SOSA INSTEAD!
Flannery McCoy: HIP TOSS ATTEMPT BY JAKE! BUT SOSA LANDS ON HIS FEET! SOSA DOUBLE LEGS JAKE TO THE CANVAS, AND LOCKS IN THE SHARPSHOOTER! SOSA’S SIGNATURE SHARPSHOOTER, BUT IMMEDIATELY JAKE GETS THE ROPES, REALIZING WHAT A DANGEROUS SUBMISSION MANEUVER THAT IS!
Stew-O: SOSA reluctantly releases the hold, and Jake pulls himself to a knee, using the ropes for assistance while favoring his back. SOSA approaches Smith, and pulls him up to his feet. SOSA backs Jake in the corner, and connects with a KNIFE EDGE CHOP!
Jake Mercer: YOU GUYS HEAR THAT ECHO?!
Flannery McCoy: Oh, I heard it, and I’m sure everyone here did as well. Jake tries to create seperation, staggering to the closest corner. But it won’t be that easy to escape SOSA, who is hot on his heels. SOSA hoists up Jake on his shoulder, and walks to the center for a KNEELING BELLY-TO-BACK BACKBREAKER! Jake writhes in pain on the canvas, but surprisingly, SOSA doesn’t go for the cover.
Stew-O: No, SOSA continues to ground Jake with a rear chinlock, digging her knee into the back. Jake rises to his feet, and starts to loosen SOSA’s grip with shots to the rib cage! Eventually, managing to break it. But only momentarily as SOSA grabs Jake in a front facelock! Jake backs SOSA in the corner, and lifts him to the top turnbuckle.
Flannery McCoy: The referee intervenes, telling SOSA to break the hold. Jake begins to seperate from Henderson as a result, but while Jake’s attention was turned toward the referee briefly, SOSA TAGS HIM WITH A BIG BOOT! Jake spins around, and doubles over, holding his jaw as SOSA perches himself on the middle rope. BUT JAKE MANAGES TO SHOVE SOSA UP AND OVER THE TOP ROPE TO THE OUTSIDE! SOSA HIT BACK FIRST ON THE APRON ON HIS WAY DOWN!
Jake Mercer: :yikes:
Stew-O: And Jake is like a shark that smells blood in the water, exiting the ring to pursue SOSA. Jake stands him up, and sends SOSA SHOULDER AND FACE FIRST INTO A CORNER OF THE BARRICADE! Jake pulls SOSA back up, and rolls him back inside the ring, going for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Flannery McCoy: Kickout! SOSA rolls away from Jake, and rises back to his feet, staggering into the corner. Jake closes in, and starts to beat SOSA down in the corner with STOMPS! SOSA goes down to a seated position, and Jake presses his boot up against SOSA’s jaw! The referee gets involved, giving Jake til the count of five to break.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!
Stew-O: Finally, Jake relents, and gets admonished by the referee.
Jake Mercer: I’m not one to give Jake Smith credit often, but he used every bit of that five count, which was smart.
Stew-O: The referee wraps up with scolding Smith, who is right back on the attack, pulling SOSA up, and bringing him to the center for a SNAP SUPLEX! Jake floats over into the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Flannery McCoy: SOSA kicks out! But Jake isn’t deterred, and stays on top of SOSA, grounding him with a rear chinlock. Again, smart move by Jake to ground SOSA, who loves to utilize high flying offense. Keep him grounded, and you take that aspect of his game away. Leaving this match more technical, leaning towards Jake’s style.
Stew-O: SOSA manages to power back to his feet, and starts to break Smith’s grip with repeated back elbows to the gut. SOSA catches Jake with a FOREARM! BUT JAKE RESPONDS WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION! Jake spins SOSA around, and goes for a back suplex- BUT SOSA BACKFLIPS OUT OF IT, LANDING ON HIS FEET, ALBEIT STUMBLES SLIGHTLY!
Flannery McCoy: SOSA CHARGES AT JAKE, BUT JAKE PERFORMS A SINGLE LEG TAKEDOWN, AND TRIES FOR THE FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK! BUT SOSA AVOIDS IT, PUSHING JAKE OFF WITH HIS FREE FOOT AS HE SPUN AROUND! JAKE ALMOST COLLIDES FACE FIRST WITH THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, BUT HALTS HIS MOMENTUM, GETTING BOTH HANDS IN FRONT!
Stew-O: SOSA SITS UP, BUT EATS A RUNNING KNEE SMASH FROM JAKE! SMITH HOOKS THE LEG FOR A COVER, COULD THIS BE IT?!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THH-
Jake Mercer: Only a two count! Gonna take more than that to put down someone like SOSA.
Flannery McCoy: Jake just needs to find the winning formula, similar to what his friend, Bronson Daniels, did at House of Glass.
Jake Mercer: We don’t talk about that.
Flannery McCoy: :roman:
Stew-O: Jake seems a little annoyed with SOSA kicking out there, but ultimately pulls him back to his feet. SOSA gets caught with a forearm, knocking him back into the corner! SOSA is struggling to shake the cobwebs out of his head, and Jake wrings his arm before irish whipping him HARD to the opposite corner!
Flannery McCoy: SOSA COLLIDES STERNUM FIRST WITH THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! But SOSA remains on his feet, albeit barely as he turns around in the corner, doubling over as he must’ve gotten the wind knocked right out of him. Jake closes in, and wrings the arm of SOSA again for a HARD irish whip into the opposite corner!
Stew-O: SOSA collides sternum first with the top turnbuckle for a second time, and drops to a knee. Jake has been very methodical in his attack on Henderson, and stands him up in the corner again for another irish whip into the opposite corner! BUT SOSA COUNTERS, SENDING JAKE INSTEAD, AND CHARGES IN!
Flannery McCoy: JAKE SENDS SOSA UP AND OVER HIS SHOULDER TO THE OUTSI- NO! SOSA CATCHES HIMSELF ON THE APRON! JAKE SPINS AROUND, BUT GETS STAGGERED BACK WITH A FOREARM! AND SOSA SPRINGS OFF THE TOP WITH A MISSILE DROPKICK!
Jake Mercer: But SOSA can’t make the cover as that move took some out of both him and Jake.
Stew-O: But SOSA doesn’t take long to stir, and crawls over towards Jake, who rises to all fours. SOSA pulls him up to a vertical base, and connects with an ELBOW, FOLLOWED BY AN ANOTHER, ALTERNATING THE ARM, AND ENDS THE COMBINATION OFF WITH A SPINNING BACK ELBOW! JAKE IS ON WOBBLY LEGS, AND SOSA RUNS OFF THE ROPES TO DELIVER A SPEAR!
Flannery McCoy: SPEAR BY SOSA, BUT HE DOESN’T GO FOR THE COVER, WANTING TO GUARANTEE THAT JAKE STAYS DOWN! SOSA PULLS SMITH UP, AND GOES FOR THE STOLE YO BITCH! BUT JAKE AVOIDS THE RKO, AND COUNTERS WITH A ROLLING CUTTER! PROPHETIC CONNECTS, BUT RUNNING OFF PURE ADRENALINE, SOSA IS INSTANTLY BACK TO HIS FEET, AND STUMBLES TO THE CORNER, TRYING TO CREATE SPACE!
Stew-O: JAKE RUSHES BACK TO HIS FEET, AND CHARGES IN- BUT EATS A BACK ELBOW FROM SOSA! SOSA TRIES TO SPRINGBOARD OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE IN THE CORNER, BUT JAKE CUTS HIM OFF WITH A SUPERKICK TO HIS CALF! THE BACK OF SOSA’S HEAD BOUNCES OFF THE CANVAS!
Flannery McCoy: A LIGHT FLICKERS IN JAKE’S HEAD, AND HE DRAGS SOSA TO THE CENTER OF THE RING BY HIS ANKLE! JAKE DELIVERS REPEATED KNEES TO THE HAMSTRING OF HENDERSON, AND PROCEEDS TO LOCK HIM IN THE FIGURE FOUR! FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK! JAKE SAW AN OPPORTUNITY AND TOOK IT!
Stew-O: WE SAW HIM GO FOR THIS EARLIER! NOW, HE HAS FOUND AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOCK IT IN! PAIN IS ETCHED ACROSS THE FACE OF SOSA, WHO TRIES TO TURN IT OVER!
Jake Mercer: YES, SOSA! CMON, JUST ROLL TO YOUR BELLY!
Flannery McCoy: NO! JAKE BLOCKS IT, KEEPING THE HOLD FIRMLY LOCKED IN!
Stew-O: PANIC RISES IN HENDERSON, BUT HE MANAGES TO SCOOT HIMSELF BACK, AND GRAB HOLD OF THE BOTTOM ROPE WITH BOTH HANDS! Jake releases the hold, but pounds the mat in frustration as SOSA rolls out to the apron.
Flannery McCoy: SOSA rises to a knee, but Jake exits to the apron, and pulls SOSA up to his feet, hooking him for a suplex! BUT SOSA BLOCKS IT! SOSA HOLDS HIS WEIGHT DOWN, BLOCKING JAKE FROM HOISTING HIM UP! BUT SOSA MANAGES TO SHIFT THE MOMENTUM, SUPLEXING JAKE ON THE APRON INSTEAD!
Stew-O: BOTH COMPETITORS ROLL OFF THE APRON, BUT SOSA IS TO HIS FEET FIRST! JAKE GETS ROLLED BACK INSIDE THE RING, AND SOSA CLIMBS TO THE TOP ROPE! JAKE IS SPRAWLED ON THE CANVAS, IN PERFECT DROPZONE DISTANCE! SOSA DIVES OFF THE TOP WITH A SWANTON BOMB!
Flannery McCoy: SOSA RISES BACK TO HIS FEET- OOH! BUT GETS INSTANTLY DROPPED WITH A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE BY MYLES!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(Myles pops back to his feet, and stands over SOSA as the crowd reigns down with boos, mostly upset that the match has been thrown out thanks to interference.)
Stew-O: ITS MYLES! ANOTHER COMPETITOR IN THE EEC! AND HE MOUNTS SOSA WITH RIGHTS HANDS!
Flannery McCoy: THE CROWD ARE NOT HAPPY THAT THIS MATCH WAS BROKEN UP, BUT MYLES IS LOOKING TO MAKE A STATEMENT!
Jake Mercer: LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE ELSE ISN’T HAPPY EITHER!
(Jake pulls Myles off of SOSA, and shoves him, unhappy that his match was ruined. Myles shoves Jake back, and Jake responds with-)
Stew-O: RIGHT HAND! RIGHT HAND BY JAKE, AND BOTH COMPETITORS EXCHANGE BLOWS BACK AND FORTH! MYLES CATCHES JAKE WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION AND SENDS HIM OUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE!
Flannery McCoy: MYLES HAS HANDLED THAT PROBLEM, BUT TURNS AROUND, AND EATS A SPEAR! SPEAR BY SOSA! AND SOSA CLIMBS TO THE TOP ROPE, MOST LIKELY LOOKING FOR PAID IN FULL!
(“Clash of Gods” by Norihito Sumitomo causes the crowd to erupt as Bronson Daniels runs down the ramp, gently tossing his World Title aside.)
Jake Mercee: NO! NOT HIM!
Stew-O: ITS BRONSON! THE MAN WHO’LL BE DEFENDING HIS TITLE AT ROAD TO REDEMPTION!
Flannery McCoy: SOSA HOPS OFF THE TOP ROPE, AND GOES TO MEET BRONSON IN THE MIDDLE! DANIELS SLIDES IN THE RING, AND DOUBLE LEGS SOSA DOWN TO THE CANVAS, REIGNING WITH LEFTS AND RIGHTS!
Stew-O: BUT SOSA SHOVES BRONSON OFF! BOTH COMPETITORS SCRAMBLE BACK TO THEIR FEET, AND SOSA GOES FOR STOLE YO BITCH! BUT THE RKO IS BLOCKED AS DANIELS SHOVES HIM OFF! SOSA TURNS AROUND, AND BRONSON CHARGES!
Flannery McCoy: OOH! SOSA DUCKS UNDERNEATH, AND BRONSON WINDS UP HITTING A RUNNING FOREARM ON JAKE INSTEAD, KNOCKING OFF THE APRON AS HE JUST PULLED HIMSELF UP!
Jake Mercer: HA!
Stew-O: OBVIOUSLY, THAT WASN’T BRONSON’S ATTENTION, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT BY HIS FACIAL EXPRESSION! BRONSON TURNS AROUND, AND SIDESTEPS SOSA FOR A REBOUND TROUBLE IN PARADISE! CHROME HEARTS CONNECTS, AND SOSA GOES DOWN!
Flannery McCoy: BUT JAKE! JAKE PULLS BRONSON OUT UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE, AND DROPS HIM WITH A SUPERKICK! SUPERKICK TO HIS OWN FRIEND! I THINK JAKE THOUGHT THAT WAS INTENTIONAL!
Stew-O: BUT MYLES COMES FROM BEHIND, AND LOOKS TO SEND JAKE INTO OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE! HOWEVER, JAKE COUNTERS, SENDING MYLES UP AND OVER INSTEAD!
(Commentary makes sure to clear out as Myles flies over the announce table.)
Flannery McCoy: JAKE IS LIKE A MAN POSSESSED, LOOK AT THE INTENSITY IN HIS EYES! AND HE SLIDES IN THE RING, EYEING SOSA AS HE RISES TO BOTH KNEES, STILL REELING OFF THAT KICK FROM BRONSON!
Stew-O: KAIOKEN! SHINING WIZARD TO THE BACK OF SOSA’S HEAD, AND JAKE HAS LAID WASTE TO EVERYONE, INCLUDING BRONSON!
Jake Mercer: :roman: Wow!
Flannery McCoy: We mentioned making a statement, but Jake may have just done that!
Stew-O: Could this be the scene at Road to Redemption?!
Flannery McCoy: Watch the event to find out!
(Jake poses as he stands tall with the camera showing all three competitors laid out, either on the outside, or in SOSA’s case, inside, writhing in pain as the camera fades elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for protein powder featuring Andre Walker.)
(The camera returns to the ring where Stephie Love is standing with a microphone as she is ready to begin the introductions for tonight’s Dynasty Main Event.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, this next contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(“Prey” by Parkway Drive starts playing as Theron Nikolas enters the arena with the Interwire Championship on his shoulder before holding it up in the air for the crowd to see as he heads to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first and making his way to the ring! From Edmonton, Alberta, Canada! Weighing 224 pounds. Here is THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION! “THE REAPER” THERON NIKOLAS!
Stew-O: Here comes the Interwire Champion as he heads to the ring and lately he has been in the crosshairs of that kiss ass Ronan Malosi.
Jake Mercer: How could you talk about one of the Kaiser’s loyal subjects like that. Ronan Malosi is what Theron Nikolas wishes he could be. It’s only a matter of time before Ronan gets that Interwire Title around his waist.
Flannery McCoy: Just shut up. If by random chance he does, let’s hope that Ronan keeps it longer than he did the first time. But tonight is not about Ronan. Theron’s opponent tonight is a very dangerous threat who is looking to do to him as he did to Limmy Monaghan a few weeks ago.
(Theron enters the ring and takes his corner before handing the Interwire Championship to the referee as his entrance music fades off. Seconds later, ‘Leaving Caladan’ by Hans Zimmer starts to play and Andre Walker enters the arena with intensity strong on his face to a loud chorus of boos as he is followed by Albert Hitchman. He stops at the top of the entrance ramp and points his finger to the sky as pyro starts going off. After the pyro finishes, they all head to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing his opponent! Accompanied to the ring by Ronan Malosi and Albert Hitchman! From the Isle of Samoa. Weighing in at 245 pounds. Here is “THE KAISER” ANDRE WALKER!!!
Jake Mercer: ANDRE WALKER IS HERE!! ALL HAIL THE GREAT AND MIGHTY KAISER! OH WE ARE IN THE PRESENCE OF GREATNESS! I’M NOT WORTHY! WE’RE NOT WORTHY!
Flannery McCoy: Will you stop making an ass out of yourself? Andre Walker is competing on Dynasty here tonight after spending some time a few weeks ago on Voltage. Remember that Andre Walker and Jamie O’Hara will go one on one at Road to Redemption.
Stew-O: Andre Walker has a huge opponent at Road to Redemption, but that doesn’t mean he should over Theron Nikolas tonight. The reigning Interwire Champion facing off against the man who holds the longevity record for that title. Two former World Champions. Who will come out victorious? We are about to find out.
(Andre enters the ring as Albert and Ronan take their place at ringside as Andre’s entrance music fades off. The referee checks both Andre and Theron before calling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Here we go! Tonight’s main event is underway. Two former World Champions getting ready to lock up in the center of the ring AND ANDRE GETS THE EARLY ADVANTAGE BEFORE SHOVING THERON TO THE MAT!
Jake Mercer: Theron ends up on his ass and he should get used to that because that’s what’s going to happen this entire match since he’s going face to face with The Kaiser.
Flannery McCoy: Here we go with the ass kissing early from Jake Mercer. No surprise there. But Theron gets back to his feet and gets right in the Kaiser’s face. He didn’t appreciate the disrespect there.
Jake Mercer: Theron is making a big mistake getting up in the Kaiser’s face like that. He’s just going to make Andre Walker mad and then Theron is going to pay for being so brash. LIKE RIGHT NOW WITH THAT RIGHT HAND TO THERON’S FACE!
Flannery McCoy: Repeated forearms finding their mark and backing Theron up into the ropes. Referee is asking for a clean break and cooler heads prevail as we actually get the clean break. Let’s see how long that lasts.
Stew-O: Who knows with these two in the ring. The referee backs off AND ANDRE RUNS TOWARDS THE ROPES, BUT IS MET WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE FROM THERON! I guess it lasted all of ten seconds.
Flannery McCoy: Andre staggered back for a moment and now it’s Theron’s turn with the forearms. The repeated forearms are sending Andre in the opposite direction until he is backed up into the ropes. Theron grabs Andre to whip him to the other side—
Stew-O: Andre reverses and sends Theron for the ride. Theron rebounds off the ropes and comes back to Andre. ANDRE FIRES OFF A BIG BOOT THAT THERON DUCKS AWAY FROM AT THE LAST SECOND!
Jake Mercer: Eh. Lucky save. The Kaiser turns around AND THERON CATCHES HIM WITH A DROPKICK TO THE FACE! How dare he kick the Kaiser in the face. That’s a million dollar face you just kicked, Theron!
Stew-O: Million dollar face with a ten cent attitude. He has become so unbearable lately that the only people who can stand him are that beach ball with legs Albert Hitchman and the other weirdo Ronan Malosi.
Jake Mercer: Don’t you disrespect the Kaiser’s court or you will end up the same way as Limmy Monaghan did. Watch your mouth and let the Kaiser work.
Flannery McCoy: As Jake continues to kiss Andre’s ass, Andre is still on his feet after the dropkick so Theron is trying to knot up Andre’s legs with repeated kicks to the back of the kneecaps to take away as much of Andre’s arsenal as he can.
Jake Mercer: Like that will work. The Kaiser has the strongest legs in the game, so Theron would have to hire a lumberjack to chop down the powerful tree known as the Kaiser and even that would be an all day job.
Flannery McCoy: What the hell are you going on about? Now you’re just rambling on about your love for Andre Walker AS ANDRE JUST KNEES THERON RIGHT IN THE GUT! Theron double over AND ANDRE WITH ANOTHER KNEE RIGHT TO THE FACE!
Stew-O: That could have been a knockout shot right there as Theron holds his face in pain as Andre regains control of this match and that is not gonna be good when The Kaiser starts building some momentum.
Flannery McCoy: This is just some sick methodical game of chess for him. Causing pain in any way he can as a sort of punishment for even stepping up to the challenge of taking on Andre in a match.
Stew-O: Andre now brings Theron back up to his feet and sits him on the top rope? What in the hell does he have planned? He’s on a fine line between safety and destruction. Andre has him positioned right where he wants him–
Jake Mercer: BAM! HEADBUTT BY ANDRE WALKER AND THERON NIKOLAS FALLS OFF THE TOP ROPE BEFORE CRASHING AND BURNING ON THE APRON AS HE ROLLS IN A HEAD ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR! That was so great to watch!
Stew-O: I’m glad you enjoyed it because that was a horrible landing Theron had on the apron. It looked like his neck or the base of his skull cracked the edge of the ring apron. That was a very scary landing.
Jake Mercer: Oh he is fine. Look at him starting to move and try to get to his feet. You have nothing to worry about. The Kaiser didn’t kill him… yet. But the end draws near for Theron Nikolas as the referee starts his course.
Flannery McCoy: The more you talk, the more I want to slap you upside the head. Your being a fanboy for Andre Walker overrides your concern for Theron in what could have been a career-ending landing.
Jake Mercer: What are you getting so upset about? He’s moving and he’s getting back to his feet. The Kaiser didn’t permanently injure him so we can move on and continue calling this match.
Flannery McCoy: You are cruising to getting your ass kicked and I won’t stop it when it happens, but as we see, Theron is using the ring skirt to pull himself back to his feet as Andre watches on satisfied.
Stew-O: There has to be a numbing sensation in his limbs after that landing. Theron is back up and ANDRE HITS THE ROPES BEFORE RUNNING ACROSS THE RING AT FULL SPEED! ANDRE LAUNCHES HIMSELF AND DIVES OVER THE TOP ROPE BEFORE LANDING ON THERON!
Flannery McCoy: Andre takes Theron back down to the floor once again. While Andre might have a conceited and crappy attitude, you gotta give credit to him for pulling moves like that off with the grace that he has.
Stew-O: The referee has started a count and Andre is up to his feet as Albert Hitchman watches on intently. Of course Ronan is hooting and hollering like a bloated nitwit. Andre grabs Theron and brings him back to his feet while applying a side headlock. Andre walks over to the ring steps with the headlock still applied–
Jake Mercer: ANDRE DRIVES THERON’S HEAD AND FACE INTO THE RING STEPS! DID YOU HEAR THAT THUD ON IMPACT? It’s like Theron has a hollow head or something. Music to my ears.
Stew-O: Of course it was. The referee is still counting as Andre takes the dazed Theron and rolls him back into the ring before quickly following suit. He picks Theron up once more and whips him into the corner.
Jake Mercer: Theron hits the turnbuckles AND THE KAISER AT FULL SPEED ONCE MORE BEFORE CLOBBERING THERON WITH A JUMPING CORNER CLOTHESLINE! LONG REIGN THE KAISER AS HE HAS THERON ON THE ROPES!
Flannery McCoy: As much as I wanna dispute it, it is looking like that right now. Andre is still in control as he backs up one more time AND RUNS FULL SPEED TOWARDS THE CORNER AGAIN AND LEAPS IN THE AIR FOR THE KNEE STRIKE, BUT THERON FALLS OUT OF THE WAY–
Jake Mercer: AND MY GLORIOUS KAISER JUST KNEED THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! OH NO! The Kaiser comes limping backwards out of the corner, and there is that backfighter Theron who grabs Andre’s shoulders and pulls him back—
Flannery McCoy: INTO A DOUBLE KNEE LUNGBLOWER BY THERON! NICE COUNTER BY THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION!
Stew-O: I believe that Andre is down for the first time in this entire match. Theron needs to capitalize on this opportunity to try to get in some major offense.
Flannery McCoy: I think that’s exactly what he is doing as he climbs his way up to the top rope. This isn’t necessarily one of Theron’s most frequented areas of the ring, so he must be going for something big.
Stew-O: Theron finds his balance on the top turnbuckle as Andre gets back to his feet. Andre has his back to Theron AS THERON JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND DELIVERS A PERFECT MISSILE DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF ANDRE’S SKULL!
Jake Mercer: Ohhh. Theron is asking for it if he keeps doing moves like that. It would be impressive if it was on anybody else, BUT NOT THE KAISER!! HE’S TOO AWESOME TO BE KICKED IN THE HEAD LIKE THAT!
Stew-O: Do you want me and Flannery to leave so you and Andre can be alone and you can continue to fanboy over him?
Jake Mercer: I mean if you are serious with that offer—
Flannery McCoy: You know that he wasn’t serious. Get your head back into the match. Good gawd. Andre goes face first to the canvas after the dropkick and Theron is right there grabbing Andre’s wrists.
Jake Mercer: Come on, Theron. Don’t you do it. I know what you are trying to do and don’t you do it—
Flannery McCoy: HE DOES IT! THERON IS DRIVING HIS BOOT INTO ANDRE’S HEAD! OVER AND OVER AGAIN WITH THE REPEATED BOOTS TO THE SKULL! THERON IS JUST BEATING ANDRE DOWN BEFORE HE DELIVERS ONE FINAL KICK FOR GOOD MEASURE!
Stew-O: The Kaiser took a lot of damage from that flurry of offense as Theron drops down to roll Andre over and hook the leg for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOO-
Flannery McCoy: ANDRE POWERS OUT AT TWO! Not just powered out, HE LITERALLY TOSSED THERON OFF OF HIM AND THERON SPLATS ON THE MAT! That isn’t stopping the Interwire Champion from continuing his assault.
Stew-O: He mounts the Kaiser AND JUST STARTS THROWING STRAIGHT RIGHT HANDS INTO ANDRE’S SKULL! The referee is right there to tell Theron to open up the fists before they start a count.
Jake Mercer: That referee needs to count a little faster because THEY ARE COUNTING TOO SLOW! The Kaiser is getting his brains punched in and the referee somehow forgot to remember how to count to five. The fix is in! I knew it!
Stew-O: Will you shut up! That is a standard five count that Theron broke on four so he doesn’t have to risk being disqualified. Theron is up once more and he brings Andre up as well. Theron goes to whip Andre–
Jake Mercer: BUT ANDRE REVERSES AND THERON GOES FOR THE RIDE! Theron manages to somehow change course and heads towards the corner and jumps onto the middle rope. Theron chooses to gamble and go for a diving meteora–
Flannery McCoy: THERON JUMPS OFF THE SECOND ROPE AND DIVES FACE FIRST INTO A BIG BOOT BY ANDRE WALKER! THAT ALMOST LOOKED LIKE A FLY GETTING SWATTED IN MIDAIR! Theron is down and he could have been knocked out!
Jake Mercer: The Interwire Champion is in danger of being defeated by the Kaiser as our Kaiser picks Theron up and puts him in the gutwrench position BEFORE LIFTING HIM IN THE AIR LIKE IT WAS NOTHING!
Flannery McCoy: Andre has him up in the air for a second BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN WITH A POWERBOMB! THAT’S NOT IT! Andre still has the hold on Theron BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP IN THE AIR AND PLANTING HIM WITH ANOTHER POWERBOMB!
Stew-O: Remember the damage he took earlier in the match? These powerbombs have gotta be making it worse AS ANDRE LIFTS HIM UP IN THE AIR AGAIN! ANDRE LOOKING FOR THAT POWERBOMB TRIFECTA–
Flannery McCoy: THERON MANAGES TO FLIP AND COUNTER IT INTO A MODIFIED HURRICANRANA! ANDRE FLIPPED OVER AS THE REFEREE DROPS DOWN FOR THE COVER!
Stew-O: BUT THERON WAS TOO CLOSE TO THE ROPES AND RONAN GRABS A HANDFUL OF THERON’S TIGHTS AND PULLS HIM OFF OF ANDRE BEFORE A COUNT COULD BE MADE!
Jake Mercer: THAT’S RIGHT! RONAN KNOWS WHAT’S UP! He knows that following the Kaiser and helping him out will take him back to the land of success. There we go.
Stew-O: It won’t stop him from smelling like a cheap dumpster.
Jake Mercer: He wears the smell of success. The same fragrance that our Kaiser wears.
Flannery McCoy: Except that Ronan’s is cheap and makes him smell like a cheaper skank.
Jake Mercer: Look at Theron throwing a hissy fit as Ronan jumps on the apron and he and Theron are arguing. The referee didn’t see anything so I don’t see the problem.
Flannery McCoy: The problem is that Ronan Malosi is flat out cheating to help his Kaiser win this match. LIKE HE’S DOING RIGHT NOW BEING ON THE APRON!
Stew-O: The referee is yelling at Ronan to get off the apron and after a threat of rejection, Ronan stops being stupid and gets off the apron.
Flannery McCoy: Ronan is doing interfering for now and Theron turns back around and puts his focus back into the match–
Stew-O: BUT HE TURNS RIGHT INTO THE SUPERMAN PUNCH BY ANDRE WALKER! RONAN GAVE ANDRE ENOUGH TIME TO RECOVER AND GET BACK TO HIS FEET TO HIT THE PUNCH! THERON IS DOWN AND POSSIBLY OUT AS HE GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE-
Jake Mercer: HOW IN THE WORLD COULD HE KICK OUT OF THAT? HE WAS BLASTED IN THE FACE WITH A SUPERMAN PUNCH! MAKES NO SENSE!
Stew-O: He isn’t going to let Ronan get the satisfaction of helping his Kaiser beat him. The Interwire Champion won’t fall that easy.
Jake Mercer: He’s being stubborn. He should just fall and fight another day. Look at the Kaiser looking amused at Theron as he pulls Theron back to his feet.
Flannery McCoy: Theron whipped into the ropes and he rebounds AS ANDRE GOES FOR ANOTHER BIG BOOT, BUT THERON DUCKS IT!
Jake Mercer: Theron does duck the kick before floating over and grabbing Andre’s arm AND PULLING HIM FOR THE “TOUCH OF HEROINE”! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Flannery McCoy: RAINMAKER STYLE LARIAT CONNECTS AND ANDRE LANDS HARD AFTER BEING CLOBBERED! THERON IS LOOKING TO FINISH THE MATCH HERE WITH THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOO!
THHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!
Stew-O: DAMN IT! NOT AGAIN! RONAN PULLS THE KAISER’S FOOT UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE AND THE REFEREE SAW THE FOOT UNDER THE ROPE AND THAT STOPS THE COUNT!
Flannery McCoy: Come on, Ref!!! How could you miss that? Just eject Ronan from ringside. All this fanboy is going to do is cheat for Andre.
Stew-O: Maybe not anymore because look who’s coming down the ramp… IT’S JAMIE O’ HARA! JAMIE O’ HARA IS HERE AND HE IS NO DOUBT GOING TO EVEN THE ODDS FOR THERON NIKOLAS!
Flannery McCoy: Jamie is now on the opposite side of the ring and Ronan is screaming like a whiny brat. He’s wondering why in the hell Jamie is here as Theron is pounding on Andre.
Stew-O: Andre has no clue that Jamie is here. Theron stops the pounding attack and finds his way to the top rope one more time.
Jake Mercer: Come on, Ronan. Do your due diligence and knock Theron off the ropes. Give your Kaiser the win. He’s back to his feet as he turns around to Theron–
Stew-O: THERON JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND THIS TIME THE DIVING METEORA CONNECTS DRIVING ANDRE TO THE MAT! THERON TRIED TO GO FOR THE COVER–
Jake Mercer: BUT ANDRE ROLLED OFF HIS BACK BEFORE A COUNT CAN BE STARTED! Smart ring awareness by the Kaiser. HE JUST ROLLED HIMSELF INTO A KNEEBAR! BEAUTIFUL SUBMISSION BY THE KAISER!
Flannery McCoy: THE KNEEBAR IS IN THE CENTER OF THE RING AND THERON CAN’T GET FREE! THERON NEEDS TO THINK OF WAY TO GET FREE OR HE MIGHT HAVE TO GIVE IT UP!
Jake Mercer: He should just give up right now and not risk anything. Tapping out to the Kaiser is not embarrassing… WHAT IS ANDRE STARING AT?
Flannery McCoy: NOW HE SEES JAMIE O’HARA AT RINGSIDE! JAMIE HAS A SMILE ON HIS FACE AS HE LOCKS EYES WITH ANDRE AND ANDRE IS NOT HAPPY!
Stew-O: Andre has gotta be wondering why in the hell Jamie is here, but it happened at the worst time AS THERON HAS A LEG FREE AND HE IS KICKING ANDRE IN THE HEAD!
Flannery McCoy: ANDRE IS STILL GETTING KICKED IN THE HEAD AND THERON GETS FREE OF THE KNEEBAR! WHAT A SMART MOVE BY THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION!
Stew-O: BUT ANDRE STILL HAS HOLD OF THERON’S ANKLE! ANDRE IS TRYING TO TAKE THERON DOWN, BUT THERON COUNTERS WITH AN TWISTING ENZUIGIRI!
Jake Mercer: NO! Our Kaiser just got kicked in the side of the head and that staggers him a little bit. Theron backs up all the way to the corner and waits for Andre. It isn’t going to work.
Stew-O: Andre turns around AND THERON RUNS FULL SPEED TO ANDRE AND HE TAKES ANDRE DOWN WITH A SPEAR!
Jake Mercer: HOW DARE HE? HE IS USING THE KAISER’S MOVE AGAIN! THAT BASTARD! I HOPE ANDRE RIPS HIS HEAD OFF!
Flannery McCoy: Turnabout is fair play and Andre was clobbered with a spear and Andre is down. Theron decides to press his luck again and climbs up to the top rope one more time.
Jake Mercer: It’s going to fail on him because you can only climb up so much before it fails on you. I hope he falls on his face.
Flannery McCoy: Theron is trying to get his balance on the top rope to hit another high risk move, BUT WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON NOW?
Stew-O: IT’S RONAN MALOSI! NOT AGAIN! RONAN HAS HOLD OF THERON’S ANKLE AND TRYING TO DISTRACT THERON ONCE AGAIN! YOU HAVE TO HAVE SEEN THAT ONE REF!
Flannery McCoy: The referee did see Ronan jump on the apron and they are yelling at Ronan to get off the apron. Not just the ref, Theron is yelling at him too–
Stew-O: LOOK AT THIS! JAMIE O’ HARA RUNS OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING AND HE PULLS RONAN OFF THE APRON AND RIGHT TO THE FLOOR!
Jake Mercer: WHAT IN THE HELL IS JAMIE O’ HARA THINKING PUTTING HIS HANDS ON RONAN MALOSI! MAKE HIM PAY RONAN!
Stew-O: Ronan and Jamie are arguing on the floor right now. Ronan does NOT appreciate the treatment he got just now.
Jake Mercer: Jamie deserves anything that comes to him AND RONAN GOES FOR A RIGHT HAND ON JAMIE!
Flannery McCoy: JAMIE DUCKS THE SHOT AND RETURNS THE FAVOR WITH ONE OF HIS OWN! RONAN STAGGERED BACK WITH A RIGHT HAND FROM JAMIE AND RONAN IS NOW FACING THERON–
Jake Mercer: THERON WITH THE FROG SPLASH TO THE FLOOR AND HE TAKES RONAN DOWN! COME ON, REF! DISQUALIFY THERON AND END THIS MATCH FOR THE KAISER!
Flannery McCoy: THERON IS JUST BEATING THE CRAP OUT OF RONAN ON THE FLOOR RIGHT NOW AS THE KAISER ANDRE IS BACK TO HIS FEET AND HE CATCHES THE FIGHT GOING ON AT RINGSIDE!
Stew-O: He had no idea what was going on before he saw the fight on the outside. Andre looks like he is gearing up to fly over the top rope once more.
Flannery McCoy: Theron better be careful that Andre doesn’t return the favor with a spear of his own. Here comes Andre hitting the ropes for the dive–
Stew-O: LOOK! JAMIE O’ HARA HAS JUMPED INTO THE RING FROM THE OTHER SIDE BEHIND ANDRE AND HE CHARGES RIGHT TOWARD ANDRE! ANDRE TURNS AROUND AND JAMIE TACKLES HIM THROUGH THE ROPES AND RIGHT OUTSIDE THE RING AND THEY ARE FIGHTING!
Flannery McCoy: Jamie wants revenge for what happened at Wicked Games and he is going to make sure that Andre pays. The referee now has four men to break up outside the ring and they look like they have had enough.
Stew-O: The referee is trying with all their might to get Andre and Theron back into the ring, but nothing is working!
Referee: THAT’S ENOUGH! RING THE BELL! RING THE BELL!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(The referee has called for the bell which leads to the crowd to immediately start booing the choice as Stephie Love announces the final decision of the match.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has thrown this match out and declared this match a NO CONTEST!
(The crowd boos even louder after the announcement as Jamie, Ronan, Andre, and Theron are all brawling outside the ring and the lone referee is doing their best to try and separate them all.)
Stew-O: This was a great match and with everything that has been brewing, I am not surprised that it ended the way it did. The referee lost all control and threw this match out. Certain asskissers should have kept their nose out of this match.
Jake Mercer: Now I know you aren’t talking about Ronan Malosi. Jamie O’Hara should have stayed on Voltage and not stuck his nose in this match. The Kaiser would have this match won if it wasn’t for him.
Flannery McCoy: You’re a moron. Of course we’re talking about Ronan Malosi. If he wouldn’t have interfered in the match the way he did, Jamie wouldn’t have had to come out here. Now Jamie, Ronan, Andre, and Theron are just beating the crap out of each other outside the ring and the poor referee is making no progress in stopping the fighting.
(The referee couldn’t break up the fighting on their own, so they are motioning for help as security and more referees are running down the ramp to help the original referee break up this fight.)
Jake Mercer: Here comes more people trying to help the referee stop the chaos. They aren’t needed. Let Ronan and our Kaiser continue to win this fight.
Stew-O: You are not helpful right now. Security and the referee are trying to prevent this fight from getting worse. That’s the last thing we need.
(The four men have been separated, but they are having so much trouble keeping all four men separated as the crowd boos more and chants “LET THEM FIGHT!”.)
Jake Mercer: Even with security and extra referees, they are still struggling to keep these four apart. These four want each other bad and that isn’t good. These four are going to beat the hell out of each other. Like it matters. Andre and Ronan are going to dominate anyways.
Flannery McCoy: Jamie O’ Hara and Andre Walker will battle at Road to Redemption. This definitely won’t be the last time that Theron and Ronan will wanna beat the hell out of each other.
Stew-O: Two high-profile matches are brewing, but right now we are almost out of time. Thank you all for tuning into another exciting edition of Friday Night Dynasty. For Jake Mercer and Flannery McCoy, I am Stew-O. Goodnight everybody!
(The final shot is security and the extra referees are still trying to hold the four men back from absolutely killing each other as the shot fades to black.)
