(EAW Intro plays.)
(We get fast cuts of the past few weeks of EAW shows. We get a long jump cut of the outcomes of all the major Dynasty related Road to Redemption matches including the ending to the World Heavyweight Championship Extreme Elimination Chamber that’s ultimately won by The Visual Prophet. We see Xander Payne, Terry Chambers, Xavier Williams, Jack Ripley, and Johnny Andrews shining in the match up before we cut to highlights of EAW’s end of the year award special known as An Aussie Summer Christmas Spectacular. This event showcases great matches and bouts featuring the likes of Kassidy Heart and Mr. DEDEDE, Theron Nikolas and Cameron Ella Ava, Xavier Williams and HArlow Reichart, The Haircare Kings (Chris Elite & Jake Smith), and a highly anticipated title bout between Minerva and Ryan Wilson with the National Elite title on the line. With Ronn Bank$ at his very ripe older age battling arguably the future of the entire business in Andre Walker as the headliner, the show also helped announce the award winning elitists for the year 2021.)
(The PPG Paints arena is jumping as fans are filing inside the building from the top to the bottom. Fireworks begin exploding as the Dynasty theme song blasts out the speakers. We get shots of the building before zooming in and on to a close up shot of Stew-O and his partners Flannery McCoy and Jake Mercer.)
Stew-O: WELCOME TO THE FINAL EAW SHOW OF 2021! What…A…YEAR FOLKS! From hell to the heavens we have been on an emotional roller coaster that just might be the biggest year in Elite Answers Wrestling history! I expect even bigger things for all you fans and the elitists in this company for 2022! I am your humble host Stew-O and with me as always are my co-hosts Flannery McCoy…
Flannery McCoy: Yessir! Here as always, Stew!
Stew-O: And with us is our controversially meta color commentating companion…Jake Mercer! How are you feeling, Jake?
Jake Mercer: I feel excited, I feel ecstatic, and I feel ALIVE! I gotta say 2021 EAW might be a top five EAW year in my opinion. I’m pretty partial to 2020 and 2017 but you can’t front on how crazy and insane this year was for professional wrestling.
Stew-O: Well, we close it out with a card that should help preview who could be big time players for Dynasty in 2022. Our Empress of the Elite tournament kicks off the first round entrants tonight!
Flannery McCoy: Kristen Meyers faces off with Domino Stone, Ayu Megumi takes on Nariko, and Serenity Valdez battles with Veena Adams all a part of the first round of this all women’s laden tournament!
Jake Mercer: Pretty sexist but what else can we expect from the IMPACT ZONE!?
Stew-O: Uh…anyway. We also have King of Elite first round matches as well! Andre Walker facing off with the underdog Cloud Stryfe!
Jake Mercer: I put all my Bitcoin on Cloud winning. It’s EAW so you know Cloud’s should always be treated with some respect!
Flannery McCoy: :snoop:
Stew-O: Angelo Carter faces Jon Kelton…
Jake Mercer: I also made my Cloud bet a parlay with Angelo Carter making Kelton tap out to advance! That bet was +96890! I bet 100 dollars and I’ll win nearly 6 bands! :whew:
Flannery McCoy: Can someone explain to him how bad that bet is?
Stew-O: Our main event features Candice Blair facing Ximena Velasquez in another Empress of Elite first round battle as-
???: BACK TO LIFE…BACK TO REALITY…
BACK TO LIFE…BACK TO REALITY…
BACK TO THE HERE AND THE NOW, O’ YEA!!
SHOW ME HOW…
DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT FROM ME…
TELL ME MAYBE HOW…I COULD BE THERE FOR YOU!!!!
(“Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)” by Soul II Soul begins to blast out the speakers as out steps The VPLA Mascot Kimmy The Propheteer wagging his tail and dancing as the crowd pops.)

(Next behind the curtain walks the infamous Dr. Angelo D’Angelo, wearing a purple and gold VPLA dashiki, with a bottle of Belaire Rose in both hands as he gets a close up from the camera.)

(Finally, out walks The Visual Prophet himself as the entire building comes unglued with cheers at his arrival. Viz is wearing a cardigan with black sweatpants and his World Heavyweight Championship being dragged in his right hand. Viz lifts the belt high before pretending to play it like a guitar on the stage.)
The Visual Prophet: https://tenor.com/bmJXe.gif
Stephie Love: Ladies and Gentlemen…HE IS YOUR WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION…THE VISUAAAAAAL PROOOOOPHET!!!!
Stew-O: You can’t tell me how vindicated this man must feel. In 2020 his historic World title reign ended unceremoniously at Road to Redemption via the Extreme Elimination chamber. This year’s reign? Validated in his first defense as he outlasts everyone to remain World Champion.
Jake Mercer: He finna talk his shit I know it! :ohlawd:
(Viz and his partners enter the ring as the fans chant over and over his name.)
Crowd: VIZ!!! VIZ!! VIZ!! VIZ!!! VIZ!! VIZ!! VIZ!!! VIZ!! VIZ!! VIZ!!! VIZ!! VIZ!!
(The crowd keeps going as the music begins to finally fade out.)
The Visual Prophet: Settle down, children. Settle down.
Crowd: VIZ!!! VIZ!! VIZ!! VIZ!!! VIZ!! VIZ!! VIZ!!! VIZ!! VIZ!! VIZ!!! VIZ!! VIZ!!
The Visual Prophet: Meh, keep going. I know y’all get annoyed with having to boo like 85% percent of these pompous ass elitists.
Crowd: :pooh: VIZ! :pooh: VIZ! :pooh: VIZ! :pooh: VIZ!
The Visual Prophet: Ok, ok. Let me get to the exposition that y’all want so badly. Jesus…Anyway. OH MY GOD VIZ WON THE EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER OH MY GOD!! Viz lost last year and everybody laughed but he outlasted everybody this year oh my god! My, remember when I was the first eliminated in 2020? How could you not that’s all that’s been talked about nonstop over and over and over and over again. It’s like nothing else happened at all, right? Yet here we are a year later. Belt back where it belongs. Five elitists besides myself were buried where as I was treated like the only one who came up short. Well, well, well…how the turntables…
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: :troll:
The Visual Prophet: I started and outlasted everyone this year and left no doubt who the top dog is on Friday Night Dynasty. By the thunderous reaction, it’s obvious who the top draw is in this company right? Moi. The Visual…perfectly seated at the metaphorical throne that is the top of this business. Speaking of thrones…King of Elite is coming up.
Kimmy The Mascot: :lupe:
The Visual Prophet: I know better than most what the King of Elite tournament can do for you. My first time in the KOE tournament was in a match with then EAW darling Daryl Kinkade. A match that witnessed me get robbed by a referee. Next year? I entered and won the entire tournament. I defeated Charlie Marr and Jamie O’Hara to do so. A certified classic that kicked off the year of 2020 perfectly. It led to me winning the Unified Tag Titles and facing my former championship teammate in what is still regarded as the greatest match in EAW history at Pain for Pride that year. So to whom shall ever decide to take that path, win King of Elite, and come my way? I welcome it. To every wrestler in the back hoping to prove themselves and shut my fucking mouth…I’ll be waiting. I’m The Visual Prophet but I don’t have any plan to go looking for shit. You can easily find me and you can just as easily be disposed of just like I did my EEC opponents. As for my plans at King of Elite? I won my crown in 2020 and in 2022 I’ll be reminding each and everyone in this company just how great I really am.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: OH MY BELOVED BROTHER…TESTIFY!!!!
The Visual Prophet: 2022 is going to be a revelation. My first reign was a breath of fresh air during the early settings of a global pandemic. We live in a new world now. New normal. Uncomfortable compromises made by everyone that we have to deal with in our own ways. What I guarantee is nobody will be more entertaining than me. Nobody will be more creative than me. No one will be better than me. For I am The Visual Prophet and I am your World Heavyweight Champion. If you don’t believe me…just watch. Just watch and keep watching. Watch closely…cause all I need is a moment of your time to hook you and grip the attention of any skeptic or critic alive. Sincerely yours…
(Viz takes a small bow before lifting his head up and raising the World Heavyweight Championship above his head as his theme music returns to play on. The VPLA mascot begins dancing as Dr Angelo begins popping bottles and spraying the crowd as they cheer with ravenous fervor once again.)
Stew-O: There you have it. The Champ is here and he’s setting the tone for 2022!
Flannery McCoy: I understand his cockiness, I really do. To vindicate yourself the way he did within a year and outlast five of the best elitists in EAW inside the Extreme Elimination Chamber was something many didn’t believe he could do.
Jake Mercer: I never doubted The Visual Prophet one bit. Funny story, I first met Mr Prophet at an arm’s deal. He told me not to let things get drastic and to think about how my mom’s would feel. Lesson there…one I value to this day.
Flannery McCoy: You fraud, that’s an MF Doom lyric.
Jake Mercer: https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/031/622/cover1.jpg
Flannery McCoy: :lupe:
(The scene ends with the VPLA mascot getting very sturdy in the middle of the ring, Dr. Angelo double fisting two bottles of rośe, and The Visual Prophet standing on top of the turnbuckle hitting a signature shimmy before gyrating his hips and raising the World Heavyweight Championship above his head as the entire building goes wild while Dynasty then begins to fade to commercial from there.)

(Friday Night Dynasty comes back from commercial break to the PPG Paints Arena where Stephie Love is seen with a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand ready to announce the next match at hand!)
Stephie Love: The following contest is a FIRST ROUND MATCH FOR THE EMPRESS OF ELITE TOURNAMENT!!! And it is a match scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘She’s a Bitch’ by Missy Elliott then begins to play up all throughout the arena to the surprisingly loud cheers from the arena upon seeing Domino Stone step out from Gorilla Position and walk towards the stage. She, admittingly, has a light smile on her face while she begins to scan the people in attendance here tonight. But despite that she maintains a serious expression of all business while she focuses on the ring. She stretches her leg which is one of the reasons why she was out of the ring for as long as she was, before popping her neck and beginning to make her way down the ramp and to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… from Los Angeles, California… weighing in at 157 pounds… ULTRAVIOLENT… DOMINO STONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Well let me just say I am very glad to see Domino Stone back in the ring this week :wow:. She’s been on the shelf with a knee injury for a month or so now along with dealing with some personal problems. But now she’s back and she’s ready to go and, I don’t know if that’s just me, but I feel that it’s pretty commendable.
Flannery McCoy: Domino’s got heart stepping into this match tonight and I’m sure she’s more than ready to step up to the plate for the Empress of Elite first round match that she’s participating in tonight. I’m sure the one thing that she wants to do is make an emphatic return and get one step closer to being crowned the Empress of Elite, but that’s something that we’re just going to have to see for ourselves.
(‘Flying On My Own (Dave Audé Remix)’ by Céline Dion then begins to play up afterward to even louder cheers from the crowd which leads Kristen Myers to enthusiastically make her way out to the stage with a bright and excited smile on her face. She waves around at the crowd while she takes a lap around the stage, just letting the atmosphere of the moment soak in while she can before looking towards the ring. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath before beginning to make her way down the ramp and to the ring, ready to start this match.)
Stephie Love: And her opponent… from Aurora, Colorado… weighing in at 95 pounds… AIRBORNE… KRISTEN MYERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: I’m sure Kristen Myers is excited to come out here and make her return to the ring after the long three weeks that she’s been away. She’s stated her displeasure for not being booked in any of the Free-Per-View festivities of the month purely because she didn’t get a chance to be in the ring. But now she’s back and ready to make a point here in the Empress of Elite tournament!
Jake Mercer: Well she has also had her fair share of losses, but I don’t know man I think she has a chance. Mr. DEDEDE once lost to Shaker Jones, tNt, and Jordan Payne in a tag team match and he’s still Mr. DEDEDE. If you ask me, SOLELY based on that, I think that she has a fighting chance against Domino tonight.
Flannery McCoy: Wow Jake, you actually said something accurate, I’m shocked.
Jake Mercer: Lost to them… in Mexico at a house show never broadcasted.
Flannery McCoy: Nevermind.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: The EAW Universe is beginning to quiet down in anticipation for this match as the bell has rung and this first round match in the Empress of Elite tournament is officially underway tonight! This is personally very exciting because this is our first tournament match of the night and I’m sure these two competitors are anxious to get their hands on one another. Kristen and Domino are beginning to make their way out of the corner, both of them looking ready to go and excited for the match to come. Both of them are beginning to signal for the collar-and-elbow tie up, but in an instant Domino sends a knee strike forcing Kristen back and getting a cheap shot in! Kristen isn’t taking this so lightly, stepping forward and connecting with an elbow in response as it’s clear we’re starting this one off with a brawl!
Flannery McCoy: Both of them are continuing to go to town on one another, both of them absorbing one another’s strikes as this definitely is one way to start a match! Both of them are unwilling to back down and it’s apparent that this will continue until one of them is forced to succumb to the pain! They have a point to prove yet in the end only one of them can come out on top!
Jake Mercer: And it looks like that person seems to be Domino, who is beginning to overwhelm Kristen with strike after strike trying to get her weakened so she can continue her attack! Domino has Kristen backed up against the ropes, which leads her to grab her by her arm before sending her to the ropes and back! WITH DOMINO RUNNING FORWARD AND GOING FOR A LARIAT IN HOPES OF TAKING KRISTEN DOWN TO THE MAT!
Stew-O: BUT BEFORE THAT CAN HAPPEN KRISTEN DUCKS UNDER IT AND ROLLS HER UP INTO A VICTORY ROLL! PIN ATTEMPT! BUT BEFORE THE COUNT CAN EVEN COMMENCE IT’S DOMINO THAT KICKS OUT! Both of them are quickly getting back up to their feet, realizing the intensity that both of them need to stay at if they want to stay in this match. DOMINO RUNNING FORWARD AND LOOKING TO GO FOR A KNEE STRIKE TO SEND KRISTEN OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Flannery McCoy: But Kristen manages to side-step it before dumping Domino over the top rope and to the outside! Domino tumbles down to the ground, trying to get back up to her feet with really the best thing she can do, falling against the barricade and trying to catch herself and keep her focus fixated on the match at hand. BUT LETTING HER RECOVER ISN’T WHAT KRISTEN HAS IN MIND, AS SHE RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK BEFORE GOING FOR A SUICIDE DIVE TO THE OUTSIDE IN HOPES OF TAKING HER DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Jake Mercer: BUT THE SUICIDE DIVE DOESN’T CONNECT, WITH DOMINO MANAGING TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY IN TIME FOR KRISTEN TO MEET NOTHING BUT AIR AND COLLIDE WITH THE BARRICADE! Kristen slouches down to the ground clutching onto her shoulder in pure agony, BEFORE DOMINO RUNS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE OF KRISTEN! Domino isn’t done though, grabbing a hold of her and beginning to bring her back up to her feet, BEFORE THROWING HER INTO THE BARRICADE ONE MORE TIME FOR GOOD MEASURE!
Stew-O: Domino grabbing Kirsten and rolling back into the ring now, jumping up onto the apron and climbing up to the top rope! Domino is primed and ready while Kristen attempts to stumble up to her feet as well, unknowing of what’s to come with what Domino has in store for her! DOMINO LEAPING OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND GOING FOR A DIVING DROPKICK TO THE CHEST OF KRISTEN TO DROP HER DOWN!
Flannery McCoy: But Kristen manages to move out of the way causing Domino to crash in burn! Domino stumbling up to her feet, BEFORE KRISTEN RUNS FORWARD AND LAUNCHES HERSELF INTO THE AIR SPIKING HER HEAD DOWN ONTO THE MAT WITH A BRUTAL SATELLITE DDT! WHAT A MOVE BY KRISTEN MYERS BRINGING THE FIGHT TO DOMINO!
Jake Mercer: Kristen isn’t done as she’s looking to keep the momentum going and in her Favor, GRABBING AHOLD OF DOMINO BEFORE LIFTING HER OFF OF THE GROUND AND GOING FOR A SUPLEX TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE CANVAS! But before that can connect Domino manages to land behind her just in time, setting her up for KNOCK KNOCK! DOMINO GOING FOR THE FULL NELSON BACKBREAKER TO DROP KRISTEN DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH AUTHORITY! KRISTEN IS DOWN ON THE CANVAS WHILE DOMINO BACKS UP AND HOOKS THE LEG! GOING FOR THE PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREE-
Stew-O: BUT KRISTEN MANAGES TO KICK OUT JUST IN TIME! NOT JUST YET!
Flannery McCoy: Domino doesn’t look too shocked, grabbing hold of Kristen before bringing her up to her feet, sending her towards the ropes with an Irish whip! DOMINO GOING FOR A CLOTHESLINE! Which connects, but it doesn’t take Kristen down fully as she falls against the ropes! Kristen is hurt, clearly not giving as she’s yelling at Domino to hit her with her best shot! Kristen begins to make her way off of the ropes and towards the center of the ring…
Jake Mercer: BUT DOMINO RUNS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A BRUTAL BOOT TO THE FACE OF KRISTEN THAT ONCE AGAIN BACKS HER UP AGAINST THE ROPES! But Kristen manages to duck under that, BEFORE TRAPPING DOMINO’S LEG AND TAKING HER DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A DROP TOE HOLD! Kristen then gets back up, BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CRUSHING DOMINO WITH A STANDING SHOOTING STAR PRESS! SHOULDERS DOWN THIS COULD BE IT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTTWWWWWOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRR-
Stew-O: BUT DOMINI MANAGES TO KICK OUT THIS TIME! WHAT A WAR THAT THESE TWO HAVE PUT ONE ANOTHER THROUGH!
Flannery McCoy: Both women are down to the ground but that doesn’t look to be the case for long with both of them slowly beginning to rise, attempting to gain some sort of ground while they can before this match can come to a head. Both of them are willing to give it their all, but who will give in tonight?! Kristen is on a knee clutching on her head trying to get the feeling back and keep this match going.
Jake Mercer: BUT DOMINO MUSTERS OUT THE STRENGTH TO RUN FORWARD AND ABSOLUTELY UNLOAD ON HER WITH A BARRAGE OF PUNCHES! Kristen is trying her best to block it while she can but Domino is not wavering and is not giving in when it comes to her attack! Kristen shoves her away trying to get an attempt to get back up to her feet, KRISTEN WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE JAW OF DOMINO STUNNING HER! Kristen then running to the ropes, GOING FOR A HANDSPRING BACK ELBOW TO THE FACE OF DOMINO!
Stew-O: BUT DOMINO GRABS HER BEFORE LIFTING HER UP OFF THE GROUND AND CONNECTING WITH A BRUTAL GERMAN SUPLEX DOWN ONTO THE TOP OF HER HEAD! DOMINO NOW LOOKING TO GO FOR MATADOR! UPSIDE DOWN NECK CRANK!
Flannery McCoy: But Kristen manages to land behind her, STEPPING FORWARD AND GRABBING DOMINO BEFORE DROPPING HER DOWN FACE FIRST INTO A BULLDOG! Kristen is then making her way up to the top rope, waiting for Domino to get back up to her feet, BEFORE LAUNCHING OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND LOOKING TO TAKE DOMINO DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A DIVING NECKBREAKER!
Jake Mercer: BUT DOMINO ISN’T LETTING THAT HAPPEN, DOMINO GRABBING HER ARM AND PULLING HER DOWN TO THE MIDDLE ROPE BEFORE LOCKING IN THE BONEYARD! CRISTO NEGRO IS LOCKED IN WHILE KRISTEN MYERS SCREAMS IN PURE AGONY TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO ESCAPE OUT OF THE SUBMISSION HOLD BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE! IT’S CLEAR THAT THERE ISN’T MUCH TIME AND BOTH OF THEM HAVE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH, WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THIS MATCH…
Stew-O: KRISTEN TAPS! KRISTEN TAPS! DOMINO WINS!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘She’s a Bitch’ plays up once more to the crowd popping in an array of cheers while Domino Stone pulls herself off of Kristen Myers with a smirk on her face before getting herself up to her feet. The referee begins to make their way towards her, raising Domino’s hand high in the air before Domino then begins her celebration of her victory!)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner, advancing to the second round of the Empress of Elite tournament… DOMINO STONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Damn, what a match by both women tonight. Both of them had a point to prove and were willing to do anything to make sure that it got across. It was apparent that they went through an absolute war and on multiple occasions it was hard to tell who was going to come out on top over the other!
Stew-O: But that honor goes to Domino Stone who moves on to face the winner of Ayu Megumi and Nariko later in the night. Congratulations to Domino on the victory!
(A commercial is shown for Spider-Man: Miles Morales on PS5, heaven forbid the reputation of that game once Ronan Malosi plays it.)
(Friday Night Dynasty fades back into the PPG Paints Arena while the crowd faintly buzzes in anticipation for what’s to come. Before long, ‘On and On (Instrumental) by Missy Elliott begins to blast through the speakers of the arena while the EAW Universe begins to sound off with a mix of cheers and boos in response to who’s coming out right now. The camera then goes to show Lisa Wren make her way out from the backstage area. She has a stern and serious expression on her face while she stands at the center of the stage, crossing her arms while she keeps her eyes fixated on the stage. She takes a moment to let the atmosphere sink in before scowling while she makes her way down the ramp and towards the ring from there.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome at this time… LISA WREN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Well the last time that we saw Lisa Wren was at Road To Redemption just a few weeks back where she managed to get a victory and get revenge on her former tag team partner, Kensi. As you can tell, Lisa is as serious as ever regardless of that and I bet is looking to push forward and away from it now that she has thar weight off of her back.
Flannery McCoy: I think so too, especially with her inclusion in the Empress of Elite tournament and her participation in a round one match against Dr. Bethany Blue on Showdown. She is more than ready to get that underway but right now I think she has a few words to say on her home brand right now!
Jake Mercer: Personality I think Lisa has a chance! We stan a black kween getting ready to take her throne, it’ll be a perfect rebound from not being included in the Extreme Elimination Chamber :blessed:. Y’all just gotta see the vision like I do ✊🏿.
(Lisa then begins to make her way around the ring, making her way up the steel steps before stepping onto the apron and beginning to make her way up to the top rope. She takes a seat on the top turnbuckle with a straight expression on her face, holding her hand out and letting someone run over and hand her a microphone from the ringside area. ‘On and On’ then begins to come to a close from there while Lisa begins to speak after a second.)
Lisa Wren: I wish I could be happy about Road To Redemption. I wish I could come here and tell you that I’ve gained some sort of satisfaction from beating the shit out of the mayo mutant and getting the revenge that I desired. But frankly, especially considering what I could’ve been doing if it wasn’t for her, I’m a bit displeased. To think if it wasn’t for that bitch I would be in the Extreme Elimination Chamber, I’d have a shot to fight for the Universal Women’s Champion over the abysmal effort that La Cabrona Pequeña did in my place. Instead I got a victory I could’ve gotten any fucking week in a match that shouldn’t have even happened but apparently someone just couldn’t keep her mouth shut. Settling such a petty grudge with an obvious result, that’s just unsettling isn’t it?
Lisa Wren: So while it did end 2021 on a high note for me, believe me, I could’ve ended it on a much higher note if I was in that Chamber. But what’s the point in complaining about it? I don’t see a point in continuing to smack my jaw about something that is already set in stone. It happened, I sat on the sidelines, nothing more. What happened has happened, and I’m mostly glad that it didn’t pan out worse for me than it already was. Stripperella got everything that she deserved and more and to that I say good fucking riddance. This company needs less white anglo saxon protestants anyways, let’s hope she does exactly what’s good for her and just doesn’t bother to show her face on this brand ever again.
Lisa Wren: Lisa Wren is on her own… as it fucking should be. And I’m grateful that I’ve learned a lesson not to mess with those malnourished un-melanated bitches anymore and can finally continue to move on and focus on what matters, and that’s my future and what’s in store for it. Especially when I have an opportunity to get back into the position that I was going to be in at Road To Redemption in this little tournament that I’ve found myself in. I see this as a huge opportunity for someone like myself, to fulfill the agenda that I’ve been pushing which consists of me holding my ground in saying that I will not be someone that is looked over in any regard.
Lisa Wren: The Empress of Elite tournament has some tough competition, people that are looking for something to prove and something to sink their teeth into. I know shit like this just ain’t gonna be easy and I’m ready for that. I’m more than ready for whatever anyone who wants to step in my way has in store for me especially when it comes to my match tomorrow on Showdown against Dr. Bethany Blue. Beth has been running her mouth this entire week and let me tell you right now, she has absolutely no idea what is coming for her especially with the type of fire that I have burning inside of me right now. I have a point to prove and zero time to waste, the last thing I want to do is be knocked out of the tournament first round against someone like you Beth.
Lisa Wren: I promise you, this Empress of Elite tournament is mine for the taking. If you don’t believe me? More power to you, just watch me take out the ‘Next Up in 2022’ star and then move onto the following week and take out anyone else who wants to make a move in hopes of crushing my aspirations. I will not be denied any other, I ain’t just gonna allow myself to be stepped over and make mistakes that will cost me. I’ve learned and adapted, and I will make sure that 2022 is my year as I know it will be. All you gotta do? Is watch and learn, and I don’t fucking give a damn what it takes to do it.
(Lisa drops her microphone down onto the ground while ‘On and On’ once again begins to blast through the speakers. Lisa jumps off of the top turnbuckle and then rolls out of the ring, making her way up the ramp without any sort of theatrics, just a straight and serious expression on her face showing that she means business and nothing more. She then disappears through the backstage area while Friday Night Dynasty begins to fade out to elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for the unofficial EAW Discord server where multiple members are seen arguing who’s the better Spider-Man.)
(‘KARATE’ by BABYMETAL hits as Nariko makes her way out to the ring. The crowd stirs quietly in anticipation for the debuting Elitist who has made waves this week, while Nariko peels the hood off of her face before hyping the crowd and herself up. It isn’t long after, that she makes her way to the ring from there.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS AN EMPRESS OF ELITE FIRST ROUND MATCH…SET FOR ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Stephie Love: Introducing first… from Fukuoka, Japan… weighing in at 103 pounds… THUNDER CHILD… NARIKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: This is a woman brand new to the Dynasty roster, and from what we know, she’s a fighter who will do quite anything to make it to the top. And what a huge opportunity in her first match competing in the Empress of Elite tournament. A chance to perhaps shock the world on a big stage. I can’t wait to see what she can do in the ring
(‘Ponytail to Shushu’ by AKB48 hits as Ayu Megumi walks out to a huge ovation from the crowd while she makes her way towards the stage. She soaks it in at the same time, remaining focused on the task at hand. She looks towards the ring and her opponent with determination before making her way down the ramp and towards the ring from there.)
Stephie Love: And her opponent… from Okinawa, Japan… weighing in at 115 pounds… THE AMAZING GIRL… AYU MEGUMI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: One of Showdown’s brightest stars, and one in my opinion to watch out for in this tournament. You can see the hunger and determination in her face. I’m glad we get the chance to see her compete in front of our very own eyes. This should be a good one.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: And here we go. This first round matchup of Empress of Elite is underway, and I’m sure Domino Stone is watching after advancing in her first round match earlier to see who she will be facing in the second round. Both Ayu and Nariko circle the ring. Both waiting for the other to make the first move. After a few seconds now, both women raise their hand to test the other’s strength, and right out of the gate Nariko connects with an arm drag, both women race to their feet, and this time its Ayu who connects with the arm drag, and follows it up wrenching back on the arm of Nariko, applying as much pressure as she can on it.
Jake Mercer: Nariko manages to get to a vertical base though, and she twirls out of the submission freeing her arm, and now faces the back of Ayu, and she takes a swing at the back of her head — But Ayu ducks and grabs ahold of the head of Nariko…and she repeatedly drives the knee into the face of Nariko, and it drives Nariko back into the ropes as Ayu looks to take advantage, and she does as she connects with a running drop kick that drives Nariko to the middle rope to the outside floor.
Flannery McCoy: Ayu looking to keep the momentum on her side here as she runs off the ropes….AND SHE GOES FOR THE SUICIDE DIVE…BUT NO!! Nariko moved and Ayu hits the barricade shoulder first. And she seems to be in serious pain as she clutches it. And Nariko sees this as hee opening as she’s like a shark who smells blood, stomping away at the shoulder Ayu! Great strategy from the newcomer if she has any chance of knocking off Ayu, and she picks up Ayu…AND THROWS HER SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE STEEL STEPS!!
Stew-O: Nariko knows she can’t let up as she tosses Ayu back into the ring, as she climbs up the top rope from the apron. She stands tall on the top rope.. AND A CROSSBODY TAKES OUT AYU AND NARIKO FOLLOWS IT UP WITH THE COVER!!
OOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Ayu manages to kick out but Nariko manages to keep on the attack by stomping down on that injured shoulder, and now Nariko backs up and measures up Ayu as Ayu rises up to both knees….AND A SIDE KICK TO THE HEAD – BUT AYU DUCKS IT, AND SHE FOLLOWS IT WITH A ROLL-UP PIN! BUT THEN IT’S NARIKO WHO ROLLS THROUGH IT UP TO HER FEET, AND CONNECTS WITH A DROPKICK RIGHT TO THE FACE!
Stew-O: Impressive stuff in the early goings from Mariko, as she picks Ayu back up from the mat, and places her in the corner. Mariko now delivers several stiff kicks to the chest if Ayu not giving her a chance to breath, and now an Irish whip, but a counter sending Nariko to the opposite corner of the ring, and Nariko springboards off the second rope…but AYU DELIVERS A STIFF KNEE RIGHT TO THE FACE OF NARIKO IN MID AIR!! AYU NOW HOOKS THE INSIDE LEG!
OOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Jake Mercer: A kickout from Nariko and the match continues on. Ayu stands up still holding her arm in some pain as she grabs the hair of Nariko trying to get her to her feet, but can’t use her full strength. AN UPPERCUT TO THE JAW FROM NARIKO! AND THEN AYU RESPONDS BACK WITH A HARD RIGHT HAND TO THE FACE! AYU THEN DELIVERS SEVERAL BODY SHOTS BEFORE DELIVERING A BACK HANDED ELBOW SHOT TO THE FACE THAT MANAGES TO STUN NARIKO DOWN TO ONE KNEE…
Flannery McCoy: AND AYU RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND DELIVERS A FRANKENSTEIN DDT, SPIKING NARIKO’S HEAD RIGHT INTO THE MAT! She doesn’t go for the cover though, as she walks over to the corner and goes up the top rope, and she stands tall looking down at Nariko on the mat….A CORKSCREW MOONSAULT AYU!!
Stew-O: BUT NO!! NARIKO GOT HER KNEES UP! AND NARIKO IMMEDIATELY TRANSITIONS THAT INTO THE GUILLOTINE CHOKE!!! SHE CALLS THIS “NIGHT NIGHT!” AYU IS TRYING TO SCRAMBLE OUT OF THIS SUBMISSION HOLD, TRYING TO SAVE HER CHANCES IN THE EMPRESS OF ELITE, AND LIKE HER BODY. THEY SEEM TO BE FADING AWAY!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT SHE ISN’T GOING AWAY EASILY, AND SHE TRIES WITH ALL HER WILL TO LIFT NARIKO OFF THE MAT….BUT HER INJURED ARM DOESN’T LET HER AS NARIKO DROPS BACK TO THE MAT WITH THE SUBMISSION STILL LOCKED! AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHE’S ABOUT TO PASS OUT…WHAT A WIN– BUT NO!! AYU WITH ONE LAST GASP STRETCHES HER LEGS AND MANAGES TO REACH THE BOTTOM ROPE!!! WHAT AN EFFORT THERE FROM AYU TO SAVE HER CHANCES IN THE TOURNAMENT!!
Jake Mercer: That might have literally took everything Ayu had in the tank factoring in the injury to her arm, and Nariko can’t believe it as she is forced to let go of the hold. Nariko is to her feet and grabs the feet of Ayu and tries dragging her away from the ropes, but Ayu is holding on for dear life! And Ayu manages to kick away Nariko buying herself a few seconds to get to her feet, and both women step to the center of the ring — AND A BICYCLE KICK RIGHT TO THE FACE OF NARIKO!! THAT SOUNDED LIKE A DAMN GUNSHOT, AND AYU GOES FOR THE COVER AGAIN!!!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: NARIKO GETS THE SHOULDER UP! AYU WONDERS WHAT TO DO NEXT IN ORDER TO PUNCH HER TICKET TO THE NEXT ROUND!
Stew-O: Ayu stands up and begins to measure up Nariko who stirs up to one knee, and SHE CHARGES FULL SPEED AND DRIVES HER KNEE INTO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD OF NARI– NARIKO SIDESTEPS AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND…AND A JUMPING NECKBREAKER TAKES DOWN AYU, AND NOW BOTH WOMEN ARE DOWN, TRYING TO STIR UP TO THEIR FEET!
Flannery McCoy: Nariko is up a tad bit quicker as she uses the ropes to pull herself up, and Ayu is in a sitting position in the corner…..NARIKO RUNS LOOKING FOR WHAT SHE CALLS “ETERNAL SILENCE!!!” THE KNEES TO THE FACE AT FULL SPEED…AND IT’S AYU THIS TIME WHO MOVES AS NARIKO DRIVES HER KNEES INTO THE CORNER, AND SHE HOLDS HER KNEE IN A BIT OF PAIN, AND NOW THIS MIGHT BE AYU’S CHANCE TO PUT THIS MATCH AWAY!!
Stew-O: TILT-A-WHIRL HEADSCISSORS TAKEDOWN FROM AYU!!! AYU HAS ALL THE MOMENTUM RIGHT NOW, AND AYU FOLLOWS THAT UP AND TAKES AYU DOWN WITH THE SLING BLADE!! NARIKO IS UP, BUT ON SPAGHETTI LEGS, NARIKO SWINGS AT THE CHARGING AYU, BUT AYU DUCKS…AND A BACKSTABBER FROM AYU MEGUMI!!! WHAT A SEQUENCE FROM AYU, AND IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE SHE’S DONE YET, AS SHE’S BEGGING NARIKO TO GET BACK ON HER FEET! “ETTHHHERRREEEAAALLL BLLLAADDDEEEE!!!! THE CLAYMORE KICK!!
Jake Mercer: BUT SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY, NARIKO MOVES! NARIKO RUNS OFF THE ROPES, BUT EXHAUSTION CATCHES UP WITH HER AS SHE RUNS RIGHT INTO RYO NO IKARIII!!!! THE SUPERKICK CONNECTS AS AYU FALLS RIGHT ON TOP FOR THE COVER! TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ROUND OF EMPRESS OF ELITE!!!
OOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Stew-O: WHAT?! NARIKO KICKS OUT!! NARIKO DIGS DOWN DEEP, AND WHAT A SHOWING IN HER FIRST MATCH HERE TONIGHT! AND NOW, IT’S AYU WONDERING WHAT TO DO TO PUT THIS MATCH AWAY. SHE GETS UP AND TRIES TO PICK UP NARIKO BUT JUST SEEMS TO BE DEAD WEIGHT-
Jake Mercer: BUT I THINK NARIKO MAY HAVE BEEN PLAYING POSSUM!!!! NARIKO GRANS THE INJURED ARM AND THROWS HER SHOULDER INTO HERS!! NARIKO FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A SOCCER STYLE KICK TO THE FACE!! AND THEN SHE PULLS HER IN – RIPCORD KNEE!!! AND….
Flannery McCoy: A VICIOUS SPINNING HOOK KICK!! SHR CALLS THAT THE NARI-KO!!!! OH MY LORD! NARIKO LOOKS TO WIN HER DEBUT MATCH IN A HUGE UPSET RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW AS SHE HOOKS THE OUTSIDE LEG!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT THE REFEREE SPOTS AYU’S LEG UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE!! HOLY GOD, WHAT RING AWARENESS THERE, AND NARIKO CAN’T BELIEVE IT, AND SHE PULLS THE LEGS AWAY AND HOOKS BOTH LEGS THIS TIME!!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: AND AYU KICKS OUT THIS TIME!! NARIKO POUNDS THE MAT IN FRUSTRATION AS SHE SITS NEXT TO THE DOWNED AYU, WONDERING HOW THAT DIDN’T FINISH THE MATCH OFF.
Stew-O: NARIKO PICKS AYU BY THE HEAD, AND WHAT IS SHE PLANNING HERE — OH MY!!! AYU OUT OF NOWHERE SURPRISES NARIKO WITH AN INSIDE CRADLE!!!
OOOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
TTTTHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: DID SHE GET HER?!?! NO!! SOMEHOW NARIKO KICKS OUT SAVING THE MATCH AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND! IT’S A RACE BETWEEN BOTH WOMEN TO GET UP TO THEIR FEET — AYU IS UP A TAD BIT QUICKER…..AND SHE RUNS AND GOES FOR THE “ETHREAL BLADEEEEE!” THE CLAYMORE KICK!!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT NARIKO MOVES ONCE MORE, NARIKO TRIES TAKING ADVANTAGE AS AYU TRIES TO REGAIN HER FOOTING, BUT BY THE TIME SHE TURNS AROUND…..NARI-KO!!!!!!!!! THAT MIGHT HAVE TOOK ALL THE ENERGY NARIKO HAD LEFT BUT IT CONNECTED AS SHE FALLS ON TOP OF AYU FOR THE COVER!!! NO WAY!!!
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTRHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘KARATE’ by BABYMETAL hits as Nariko let’s go of the leg, and falls to the mat in exhaustion, holding her face in disbelief as the referee raises her hand as she stirs to her feet.)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…….NAARRRIKKOOOOOOO!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: WOAH!!! NARIKO JUST STUNNED AYU MEGUMI TO MOVE ON TO THE SECOND ROUND IF EMPRESS OF ELITE, IN HER DEBUT MATCH!
Jake Mercer: Holy damn! This girl showed heart and grit, and actually pulled out the upset, and this was only our first time seeing her in action. Imagine what else she’s capable of as her career progresses.
Stew-O: So happy to have her on Dynasty, but also, you have to wonder if the injured arm was a factor throughout the match for Ayu, as she couldn’t pull off stuff she can easily do. I just know she’ll be just fine when she gets back to Showdown.
Jake Mercer: Congratulations to Nariko. :wow: And I just can’t wait to see her go up against Domino Stone in the next round!
(The scene fades as Nariko is celebrating her victory up the ramp, as Ayu holds her arm sitting in the center of the ring, disappointed in this outcome.)
(A commercial is shown for Sunday Night Voltage where the main event pits the GOAT Jake Smith against Donovan Duke in a first round match in the King of Elite tournament.)
(The camera cuts to Stephie Love in the ring.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Stephie Love: And it is a first round contest in the 2022 EAW Empress of Elite Tournament! Introducing first…
(‘Dolla Sign Slime’ by Lil Nas X & Megan Thee Stallion hits as Serenity Valdez comes out to a mixed reaction while she basks in the reaction that she’s getting while she arrogantly talks trash. She’s all business before she makes her way down the ramp and to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first from Tijuana, Mexico weighing in at 126 pounds she is “La Reina” SERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRENITY VALDEZZZZZZZZZZ!!!
Flannery McCoy: What a queen. La Reina could very well soon be La Empresa!!!
Stew-O: Serenity Valdez continues to impress in EAW especially at Road To Redemption in the Extreme Elimination Chamber for the Universal Women’s Championship. And while Serenity has a chance to ride that wave of momentum, that has not sat well with her opponent Veena Adams who launched into a tirade this week against Serenity and has certainly made a statement towards her.
Jake Mercer: I don’t think Serenity is very affected by that, she doesn’t pay much mind to what Veena has to say and will be walking into this match marching to the beat of her own drum! We stan a strong and independent woman! Look at you go Jake, I should be a feminist :wow:.
(‘7 Rings’ by Ariana Grande hits to heavy boos from the crowd as Veena Adams is seen pompously making her way out to the stage. She has her arms spread while she takes a twirl around before beginning to strut down the ramp and towards the ring practically oozing importance while the crowd continues to boo.)
Stephie Love: And her opponent from Greenwich, Connecticut weighing in at 121 pounds she is “The Princess of Professional Wrestling” VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENA ADAMSSSSSSSS!!!
Stew-O: This match has become very competitive with the words shared between both competitors this week being the talk of the entire brand. Veena has definitely called the shots and has already staked her claim to win the entire tournament, now she has to put her money where her mouth is and get to work! Which I know she’s capable of doing!
Jake Mercer: I mean she is very successful and I sure am jealous! We could all stand to be a little more like Veena tbqh.
Flannery McCoy: Eeew no anything but that. Veena is so trashy!
Jake Mercer: I mean there’s a reason that you are where you are Flan and Veena is where she is!
Flannery McCoy: Umm… I am right here next to you…
Jake Mercer: My point exactly.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Flannery McCoy: We are underway as this deeply personal first round match in the Empress of Elite Tournament begins!!! Veena Adams and Serenity Valdez want to murder each other but that is probably against the rules so they will have to settle for wrestling instead. Immediately Veena charges in kicking Serenity hard in the chest, sending her flying back into the corner. Veena wasting little time with that impactful maneuver up in here! Now Veena is just going in on Serenity slapping the shit out of her in the corner. Veena is very disrespectful. Serenity ain’t want none but she getting some. Veena with a hard clubbing blow to the gut of Serenity as she unleashes all that pent up tension built from their back and forth this week. Clearly it got under Veena’s skin and she is big mad. Serenity is going to have to fight back on equal terms or Veena’s onslaught shall continue!
Stew-O: Serenity Valdez is trying to defend herself but Veena Adams will not let up and the referee is going to have to get involved at some point. But Veena reminds the referee who she is related to! The referee is forced to back off! Come on, that is unfair!
Veena Adams: (Off-Mic) Do you know who the fuck I am?!
Jake Mercer: Life is unfair Stew! Lmao! Veena Adams with a hard thumb to the eye behind the referee’s back on Serenity Valdez! Not that it probably matters as Veena has probably scared this referee into fearing for his job! Veena continues on that pounding as Serenity has somehow managed to stay on her feet!!! Veena grabs her by the neck and tosses her across into the ring… BUT SHE IS STILL ON HER FEET!!!
Flannery McCoy: SERENITY VALDEZ CHARGES IN GRABBING VEENA ADAMS AROUND THE WAIST!!! BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX CONNECTS AS SHE TOSSES VEENA ACROSS THE RING WITH IMMENSE ELEVATION!!! HOLY SHIT VEENA NEARLY LANDED ON HER NECK WITH THAT TOSS!!! But she managed to course correct and land on her chest instead! That suplex was like a rocket launcher!!! Serenity looks pissed off as she stalks Veena across the ring and grabs her by the hair!!! Serenity drags Veena by the hair across the ring and begins to repeatedly bash her skull into the top turnbuckle! Veena being annihilated here tonight as Serenity just getting some payback for what Veena has put her through tonight!
Serenity Valdez: (Off-Mic) You know who the fuck I AM BITCH?!?
Stew-O: Big pop from the crowd for Serenity Valdez as she pops off! Serenity rams her shoulders into the back of Veena Adams who is collapsed over the top rope. Serenity has destroyed her perfectly made up face by bashing it into the turnbuckle smearing her makeup everywhere. Veena clearly did not come prepared to get hit in the face which is a big mistake up against someone like Serenity. Serenity with a series of hard forearms right to the face of Veena bashing her back up into the corner in an attempt to give her brain damage. Props to Veena for staying on her feet even if she has to rest herself on the middle ropes to do it. Serenity backs up as she runs across the ring before charging in at full speed…
Jake Mercer: RUNNING SPEAR INTO THE CORNER FROM SERENITY VALDEZ AS SHE TEARS VEENA ADAMS IN HALF!!! VEENA STUMBLES OUT INTO THE RING AND SERENITY RUNS OFF THE ROPES SPRINGBOARDING OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE!!! SPRINGBOARD DOUBLE FOOT STOMP RIGHT INTO THE BACK OF VEENA!!! SERENITY FALLS INTO THE FIRST COVER OF THIS MATCH!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: KICKOUT BY VEENA ADAMS!!! Veena stays in this thing!!! But Serenity Valdez SLAYS in this thing! Serenity pulls Veena up and lifts her up above her head high in the air!!! BACK DROP INCOMING!!!-
Stew-O: NO! Veena Adams flips up and over the back of her opponent and lands on her feet! She is like a cat to drop down like that! Serenity Valdez flails around wildly wondering where Veena is. BUT VEENA IS WAITING BEHIND HER!!! Veena with a hard chop to the chest of Serenity! She is going in and battling back! Veena is showing Serenity that she is THAT bitch. Veena with two fingers to the eye!
Referee: (Off-Mic) C’mon Veena let go-
Veena Adams: (Off-Mic) SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Referee: (Off-Mic) mb yo :mjcry:
Jake Mercer: Hard punch to the head from Serenity Valdez in retaliation! Veena Adams responds in kind! They are trading hard shots in the ring but both women want this! They want to be the Empress of Elite real bad!!! Veena is fighting back now as she looks to gain the advantage! No! Serenity! Veena! Serenity! Veena! Serenity!!! VEENA! VEENA! VEENA!!! Veena gains the advantage as she sends Serenity falling into the ropes! Veena charges in and grabs Serenity by the legs tipping her up and over to the outside!!! Veena through the ropes as she runs off the apron… FLYING BODYPRESS TO THE OUTSIDE!!! WE RARELY SEE VEENA PUT HER BODY ON THE LINE LIKE THIS!!!
Flannery McCoy: But this time it pays off! Veena Adams connects!!! Serenity Valdez is thrown back into the ring as Veena Adams makes her way into the cover!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Kickout by Serenity Valdez! Veena Adams pulls Serenity back up!!! But Serenity out of nowhere grabs Veena by the head… FLATLINER CONNECTS!!! SHE JUST DROPPED HER BITCH ASS FLAT ON THE MAT!!! OH LAWD! SERENITY GOT ALL OF THAT AND VEENA JUST GOT HER FACE SMASHED IN ONCE AGAIN! Blood is dripping from Veena’s nose as Serenity drags her back up…
Flannery McCoy: Serenity Valdez slams Veena Adam’s head into the top turnbuckle once again! BASH! BASH! BASH! Veena has to be unconscious at this point as she is barely able to stand from all of that smashing. Serenity looking like she is enjoying forcing Veena to suffer just a little bit too much here! Serenity signaling to the crowd she is going to end this match! But what does she got in mind here?!?!?!
Jake Mercer: HIT THE LIGHTS!!! SERENITY VALDEZ HITS HER KNEE HARD RIGHT INTO THE BACK OF THE ALREADY DAMAGED SKULL OF VEENA ADAMS!!! Serenity with the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… SERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRENITYYYYYYYYYY VALDEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Dolla Sign Slime’ once again begins to play up again to a big pop from the crowd who just wanted to see Veena lose more than anything tonight but some of them can’t help but love the antics of La Reina!)
Flannery McCoy: Serenity Valdez did it! She managed to advance past the first round of the 2022 EAW Empress of Elite Tournament! That is a phenomenal way to start the new year!!!
Stew-O: Agreed. But you can’t imagine that Veena will be happy to take an L like this to start 2022. The Adams family will not be starting 2022 off on a happy note! That could mean bad things for all of us including my paycheck!
Jake Mercer: Well don’t worry I will be there to comfort Veena in her time of need.
Flannery McCoy: No Jake. You aren’t Gavin. Stop pretending.
Jake Mercer: :noah:!!!
(A commercial is seen for EAW celebrating the New Year! Have a happy 2022!)
(Friday Night Dynasty continues on into the night with the capacity crowd cheering as they spot themselves on the tron, the overhead cameras sweeping over the sea of EAW fans upon returning from a commercial break! After a few quick more shots of sections of the boisterous audience, ‘Somebody Get Me A Doctor’ by Van Halen begins to play to a roar of cheers as Dr. Bethany Blue makes her way out from the back! She pauses for a moment as she comes to stop on the entrance and looks out into the crowd with a serious expression on her face, wearing it on her way down the ramp!)
Stephie Love: Introducing to the ring at this…. DR. BETHAAAAAAAAANNNNNNYYYYYY BLLLLLLLLLLUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Stew-O: It was at Road to Redemption that Dr. Bethany Blue faced off against Andrea Valentine in quite the match where both women had gone in with unwavering attitudes, having planted their feet on their ground to stand by how they felt about the whole situation when it came to them both being left out of an Extreme Elimination Chamber Match at the anticipated FPV, but in the end, it was Andrea who bested Bethany to win the match!
Flannery McCoy: Bethany definitely felt like she had a great chance at winning and understandably so, she’d been on a roll since coming to Friday Night Dynasty and proving why she was a monumental trade for StarrStan to make – but Andrea turned those expectations of Bethany’s into something else. Knowing what we’ve seen from Bethany though, especially since arriving to Dynasty, she’s not going to take that loss and not think to use it as fuel for her fire that’s been burning bright since she got here!
Jake Mercer: A monumental trade for us, indeed! Friday Night Dynasty has some of the most prominent and promising Elitists in EAW; StarrStan got her for a steal and she truly hasn’t disappointed! Who’s doing it like us?! 😤
(Bethany enters the ring, having retrieved a microphone from the top of the steel steps that’d been left there for her on her way up to the apron, and it’s through the ropes she comes to stand at the middle of the canvas. She gives her entrance music a few more seconds to play before it fades out and it’s after a moment of seemingly thinking how she wanted to start, she nods her head and raises the microphone to her lips to address the crowd.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: There’s really no way around saying that Road to Redemption didn’t go the way that I would’ve wanted it to, how I thought it was going to go. I had everything going for me, it was looking like it was my chance to finally defeat Andrea Valentine after all this time…. but I didn’t. I was so sure of myself and confident in what I was going into that match prepared to prove – that I could break through the ceiling and challenge one-on-one for a World Championship, or at the very least leave with the result that showed I’m deserving of being positioned to be more highly considered in the World Title conversations – and what I walked away with was frustration. Andrea won and I’m not going to downplay that or do something to take away from it, saying she only got lucky or that it was something else considering what I said that match meant to me wouldn’t be doing either of us any favors – but I know how hard I worked to be the one deserving of winning and that’s what has me frustrated about that match. If I had won, maybe it’d have been me thinking to challenge Ms. Extreme with the big FPV win to make that kind of claim, but now I have to wait and that’s something I’ve had to do time and time again – I’m getting sick of it.
Dr. Bethany Blue: I know I’m one of, if not the hardest working Elitists in EAW, period, and that’s not something I’d say just for the hell of it without the proof to back it up and it goes without saying that everyone knows it to be true as well. Even when I’ve found myself being brought to stops sooner than expected or sooner than I would’ve liked – think of my Specialists Championship reign, for example – one thing I didn’t do was give up or think to not ever give it my all when it was time for me to lace up my boots. I know I can’t look at that one loss I’ve taken and think that that means I’ll never break through, that I’ll never get my time in the spotlight that my work has consistently shown that I deserve, because my journey is far from over and I’m not going to let that define who Dr. Bethany Blue is. One thing I’ve proven myself to be as a fact is that I’m resilient, I don’t stay down for long and I’m willing to get right back into it no matter what the bullshit is that I’ve had to face throughout my time EAW. Do I believe that Andrea should’ve won? No. I truly do believe that victory should’ve been mine. But even in losing, that loss doesn’t take away from everything I had to say about my work ethic and all that I’m prepared to continue to give regardless of past outcomes, because I’m just that sure of myself and the future I’ve got the talent to create for myself: Dr. Bethany Blue will be a World Champion before 2022 comes to a close!
(Bethany nods her head with nothing but pure determination on her face as she makes her claim, the fans in attendance responding with a wave of cheers to show their support and she looks around the arena with a faint smirk appearing.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: I know I had to have been voted Next Up in 2022 over all the other nominees for a damn good reason and I know it surely wasn’t because I just barely got by, and with that kind of honor bestowed upon me, it means I need to go out and live up to the expectations that I have for myself just that much more. To become the World Champion that I’m sure I can become one day as that’s where my focus is, and while I know it won’t come easy, I’ve got no problem getting my hands dirty to get what I know I’m deserving of. 2022 is going to be my year one way or another because there’s no one that I would think to let stand in my way of me cementing myself as one of the best, and that is absolutely going to be something that the world bears witness to. Empress of Elite is going to be one of the ways that I achieve exactly that, as it’s not something for me to win just as a nice accolade but most certainly part of what it’s going to take to cement my legacy in EAW as something that no one can take away from me! I am the best damn wrestler that this company has, I’m the best competitor in this entire Empress of Elite tournament, and I’m not going to do myself a disservice by somehow managing to screw this up. It doesn’t matter to me who I have to face throughout the entirety of it because I’m going to be the woman who makes it to the finals at King of Elite against whatever unfortunate woman thinks she’s going to take this from me, and I’m going to be the one who wins it all having charted the path just much closer toward me getting what the hell I’ve long since earned, what I’ve long since deserved and that’s my Universal Women’s Championship match!
Dr. Bethany Blue: There’s a not a woman I see in this tournament that’s going to prove me otherwise because they haven’t had the journey I’ve had, they haven’t been through what I’ve gone through and I know that if they had, they wouldn’t have lasted to be around for the return of Empress of Elite in the first place. These other women don’t have my fortitude, they don’t have my mindset, they don’t have it in them to match my level of resolve because I’ve taken everything thrown at me and I’ve only ever gotten better for all of it, with the results over some of your favorite Elitists to show for it. I don’t see the tournament being much different – people are going to have their favorites picked that they want to see succeed, that they want to see succeed over me but does anyone think that I’m going to stand for letting that happen after all this time?! I’m always up for any challenge and perhaps some of the other women from my side of the bracket will deliver some surprises along the way, but none of them are happening at my expense when it’s my legacy I’m out to solidify. I understand that I’ll be facing Lisa Wren in the first round and while I don’t care for her attitude or her approach where she thinks her lack of chance at success or opportunities has to do with her skin and somehow not her own work ethic, what I’m looking forward to is getting this one out the way as it’ll mean that I’m one step closer to the finals where I’ve got my sights set and my claim to victory in the end of this whole thing laid to. I can’t say I’m overly excited about that match taking place on Showdown, but when it comes down to me and my career, my achievements that I can damn sure achieve like everyone knows I can, there’s nothing I won’t endure to become the Empress of Elite! I promised everyone that I would live up to the hype, that I would prove me getting traded to Dynasty would be for the better, and what better way to do that than by winning this reinstated tournament? I’m going to leave not a trace of doubt as to whether I’m World Championship material, which means making this entire Empress of Elite tournament my bitch!
(Bethany points to herself, her finger tapping against her chest as she asserts herself as the woman to watch in the Empress of Elite tournament, set on being the winner of it all and from the way she spoke, she was standing in the firm belief that this was hers to be victorious in.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: And make no mistake about it, ladies, don’t think for a second that I’m going to let up or not take a single second of this seriously, because when any of you find yourselves facing me and getting eliminated while I advance, you, everyone else, and the rest of the world are going to know that Dr. Bethany Blue is firing on all cylinders.
(She stares for a long moment into the camera in front of her, sending the message directly to all of the women with any intention of getting further into Empress of Elite past the first round like herself that she’s more than ready to conquer every last one of them.)
Stew-O: What a message sent by Dr. Bethany Blue here tonight! She’s absolutely going to have the rest of the participants watching her very closely if she can advance past Lisa!
Flannery McCoy: The match between Lisa and Bethany is sure to be hard-hitting – they’ve both got their own reasons for wanting to succeed, and they’re both coming out of situations from Road to Redemption that are driving them just that much more! We really can’t miss this one!
Jake Mercer: They’re about to show those Showdown hoes how it’s done :wow:!!!!
(With Bethany dropping her microphone, ‘Somebody Get Me A Doctor’ by Van Halen begins to play again and the Pittsburgh crowd begins to cheer again before Bethany begins to take her leave from the ring, her arms outstretched in confidence as she basks in the reception of her uncompromised statements while backpedaling up the aisle. Stopping at the stage, wearing a smirk, the scene fades out on the confident expression on Bethany’s face.)
(A commercial is shown reminding people to get tested for COVID and get vaccinated.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for..
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Stephie Love: And it is a First Round King Of Elite Tournament Match!!
(“Lamar” by YN Jay begins to blast through the speakers in the Arena, everyone would erupt into a mixture of cheers and boos as Angelo Carter would walk through the curtain, and onto the rampway. He would walk down the rampway, showing off as he enters the ring.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM EAST NEW YORK…WEIGHING IN AT 205 POUNDS…”PROLIFIC”…ANNNNGELOOOOOOOOOO CAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Angelo Carter is looking to shock the world here tonight, facing off against the New Breed Champion Jon Kelton and looking to advance into the King Of Elite Tournament!
Flannery McCoy: It’s going to be a tough task, but anything is possible here in EAW! Angelo Carter has a chance in tonight’s Match, all he needs to do is execute it to perfection!
Jake Mercer: You know what they say here in Elite Answers Wrestling, anything is possible… unless you suck.
(As “Lamar” begins to fade out, “Last Strike” by Polo G begins to blast through the the speakers, the reactions staying the same as Jon Kelton, with the New Breed Championship walks through the curtain, accompanied by his girlfriend Londyn Zelaya as he sports a very cocky look on his face, walking down the rampway and showing off his confidence, before entering the ring.)
Stephie Love: AND HIS OPPONENT…FROM DALLAS, TEXAS…WEIGHING IN AT 212 POUNDS…HE IS THE NEW BREED CHAMPION…”THE CHOSEN ONE”…JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNN….KEEEEEEEEEELTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: And here is the current New Breed Champion, a new acquisition to the Friday Night Dynasty Roster, Jon Kelton!
Stew-O: Kelton is a 2x and current New Breed Champion, and now on Friday Night Dynasty, he is looking to advance into the King Of Elite Tournament, and making sure he is known as “KING”!
Jake Mercer: I don’t get it, Kelton has been here since like the stone age and he’s the New Breed Champion??? THE LOGIC IS FLAWED! If anything, do you know who should be the New Breed Champion? Yours truly.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: AND THIS MATCH IS UNDERWAY! This is a First Round Match of the King Of Elite Tournament- AND ANGELO RUNS STRAIGHT AT KELTON, JUMPING AT HIM AND THROWING JABS! THE NEW BREED CHAMPION IS CAUGHT OFF GUARD AS ANGELO IS HAVING NO REMORSE! Angelo now picks Kelton up, and throws him off the ropes..catching him with a dropkick! Angelo is shooting right out of the gates with straight fire, as he picks Kelton up- BUT KELTON AIN’T HAPPY AS HE SLAPS THE SMILE RIGHT OFF THE FACE OF ANGELO! Angelo falls down from the impact of that deadly slap, as Kelton now just toys with Angelo, as he continues to push him down to the ground! Jon now picks Angelo back up, and now it’s Angelo’s time to be thrown into the ropes- where he is caught with a spinebuster by Kelton! Kelton has instantly taken control of this Match, as he is just toying with Carter right now! Angelo had a hot start, but now it’s Kelton’s time to prove just why he was traded to Dynasty, and is the current New Breed Champion, as his girlfriend Londyn Zelaya is cheering him on!
Flannery McCoy: :lupe: Kelton seems to be a bit overconfident here right now, and it could cost him, but right now he is using his confidence to perfection, as he just picked Angelo up and hit a picture perfect snap suplex! Angelo hasn’t gotten any offense in since the opening bell, when he had shot straight out of gates, but now Kelton has blown the flame out, and is continuing the onslaught on one of Dynasty’s rookies! Kelton picks Angelo back up- AND ANGELO IS TRYING TO FIGHT BACK! LEFTS AND RIGHTS! ANGELO RUNS OFF THE ROPES- BUT KELTON RAN OFF IT AS WELL, CONFUSING ANGELO AS HE GETS CAUGHT WITH A SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE! ANGELO GOES BACK DOWN AS KELTON GOES FOR THE FIRST PINFALL OF THE MATCH!

Flannery McCoy: BUT KELTON KICKS OUT! BUT ANGELO IS WASTING NO TIME, PICKING KELTON BACK UP AS HE HITS THE BROOKLYN BOOT! A MAFIA KICK RIGHT TO THE FACE OF KELTON! CARTER HAS ANOTHER FIRE LIT INSIDE HIM AS HE PICKS KELTON UP- SWINGING NECKBREAKER! Kelton is in another universe right now, as he rolls to the outside of the ring to catch a breather, where Londyn Goes to check on him- TAKE COVER!!! ANGELO JUST DIVED OVER THE TOP ROPE AND HIT A TOPE CON HILO TO KELTON! ANGELO IS TAUNTING TO LONDYN AS HE PICKS KELTON UP AND THROWS HIM BACK INTO THE RING! Angelo needs to continue this, if he wants to have a chance to pull an upset! Angelo gets onto the apron, where Kelton tries to knock him down- but Angelo sidesteps, catching Kelton with a jab as he enters the ring- A RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! Angelo is now taking the time to get a breather in the corner, but I don’t know if this is a good idea considering Jon Kelton is getting back up to his feet..BUT ANGELO HITS ANOTHER RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT-
Stew-O: NO! Kelton catches Angelo with a modified sidewalk slam! Kelton has been able to stop the momentum of Angelo once again! And now Kelton picks Angelo back up to his feet, and hits a second snap suplex, and a third! Kelton is making sure that Angelo doesn’t get the chance to pull off an upset, stopping him at every turn, as Kelton looks to slow Angelo down with a sleeper now! Angelo begins to fall down to his knees, as Kelton lets go of the whole- AND HE JUMPS ONTO THE ROPES AS ANGELO GETS BACK TO HIS FEET- SPRINGBOARD KNEE STRIKE! Angelo is out of it, as Kelton goes for a cover- BUT ANGELO BEGINS TO ROLL AWAY, AND LOOK AT THE FACE OF KELTON! THE FACE EXPRESSION OF ACTUAL ANGER SHOWING ON HIS FACE, AS HE NOW WALKS TOWARDS ANGELO- ANOTHER BROOKLYN BOOT!
Jake Mercer: AND NOW ANGELO THROWS KELTON INTO THE CORNER- and Kelton has to stop right in his tracks as he almost hit the ref, who had to turn his back! Kelton turns around..HOOD JIU-JITSU!

TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR—–
Stew-O: KELTON KICKS OUT, AND HE DOES NOT LOOK HAPPY! Angelo is trying to pull out everything right now, trying to pull off the upset, but the New Breed Champion is not letting it happen! Kelton wants to advance for himself, as he gets back up to his feet, and Angelo runs back off the ropes- but is caught with a Clothesline by Kelton! But Kelton ain’t done yet, as he drags Angelo back up to his feet, AND DRIVES HIM BACK DOWN WITH A RUNNING POWERSLAM! Kelton’s confidence is slowly turning into signs of anger and aggression, as he didn’t expect this kind of fight from Angelo here tonight, but Kelton is making sure that Angelo doesn’t get back up, as he just stomped right into the chest of Angelo! Kelton is just letting all his anger out on Angelo now, as he drags Angelo back up to his feet, AND JUST DRIVES HIM STRAIGHT INTO THE RING POST! Angelo is trying to get back up to his feet, but Kelton just knocks him back down, and throws him back into the center of the ring! Angelo now slowly crawls back up to his feet, but Kelton just slaps the shit out of him!
Flannery McCoy: Kelton has taken full control of this Match- BUT ANGELO GETS BACK UP AND TRIES TO FIGHT BACK- ONLY FOR KELTON TO STOP HIM AGAIN WITH A TWIST OF FATE!

TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE———-
Stew-O: ANGELO GETS THE SHOULDER UP! Angelo barely gets the shoulder up and look at the face of Kelton! Angelo Carter has been giving the biggest performance of his career thus far in this Match, and he’s pushing Kelton to his absolute limits! Kelton now picks Carter up, and hits a sitout brainbuster! Angelo has been giving his best efforts, but I don’t think he has much more left in him! ANGELO IS TRYING TO FIGHT- NO, KELTON JUST SHOVES ANGELO TO THE GROUND! Angelo doesn’t have much more left in the tank, and both Kelton and Londyn can see that this is the end, but that isn’t stopping Kelton from toying with him! Kelton wants to make sure he embarrasses Angelo tonight, and he’s really doing so right now, with another slap to the face.

(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: ANGELO DID IT!
Flannery McCoy: ANGELO JUST PULLED OFF AN UPSET!
Jake Mercer: 😱😱😱
(As “Lamar” begins to play throughout the Arena, Angelo Carter would quickly roll out of the ring, shocked by his victory as Jon Kelton would instantly get back up to his feet, a sign of aggression clearly showing on him as Londyn Zelaya would enter the ring to calm him down.)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…..”PROLIFIC”…ANNNNGELOOOOOOOOOO CAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: ANGELO CARTER JUST PULLED OFF THE UPSET OF THE CENTURY HERE TONIGHT, PICKING UP THE WIN OVER THE NEW BREED CHAMPION JON KELTON TO ADVANCE INTO THE KING OF ELITE TOURNAMENT!
Flannery McCoy: ANGELO TONIGHT JUST PROVED THAT ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE IN ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING! CONGRATS TO ANGELO!
(Angelo would stagger up the Ramp, celebrating his victory as the Camera fades to black, as a commercial airs.)
(A commercial is shown for Saturday Night Showdown with the main event being Jonny Airhart going against Adam Lucas in a first round match for the King of Elite tournament!)
(Dynasty comes back from commercial break to show the backstage area of the PPG Paints Arena. Dynasty Head Backstage Interviewer, Michael Belfort is seen rushing through the backstage area. He seems to be on a time crunch while he clutches a EAW branded microphone in his hand while the cameraman follows him towards his destination which seems to be right towards Gorilla Position. Before long the camera then begins to pan away to show someone making his way through the backstage curtain, a familiar face being seen and they do not look happy whatsoever.)
Michael Belfort: JON KELTON! Can I ask you a few questions after what we just saw???
(Jon Kelton is seen treading through to the backstage area, with the New Breed Championship resting on his shoulder while he makes his best attempt to collect himself after the hellacious match that he’s been through… one that he doesn’t look at with much fondness. ‘Lamar’ by YN Jay is heard faintly playing in the background while Kelton scowls in disdain. He turns towards Michael, calming himself down before nodding his head.)
Jon Kelton: I guess you want to know huh? I can’t really blame you myself. Look, what happened out there? I’m not as stricken as you’d assume I’d be. I’ve been through a hell of a lot in my career, this is just another one to add to the toll. Does it hurt? Yeah of fucking course, as does any loss. But I assure you this will not go unnoticed. This will absolutely not be the introduction that the Friday Night Dynasty crowd gets of your New Breed Champion. I worked my ass off to get here, to get to this point, to get to this Championship. NOBODY knows the amount of sacrifice that I’ve put into this shit, NOBODY knows everything that I’ve been through. Especially not some amateur who has barely even touched the very soil that this business is built on.
Jon Kelton: I told him that I’ve made a lot of people eat their words, and although it might not look like it, I’ll make sure he suffers the same fate no matter what it takes. This, is simply a roadblock. A roadblock that will be handled promptly and to the best of my ability. This will not define me, this will not be the end. Angelo Carter, and I mean this as cliche-less as possible, only got that win based off of luck and that luck ends immediately. All I really need to say other than that? When he’s toppled off of the ranks in the King of Elite tournament, I will be waiting. Shit like this doesn’t go forgotten by me.
(Kelton pushes away Michael before beginning to take his leave going deeper into the backstage area, leaving Michael standing on his own in front of the camera frame. After a while, Dynasty then begins to transition elsewhere.)
(As Dynasty would come back on air, the cameras would pan to another area of the backstage area as interviewer Michael Belfort is seen in frame, holding a Microphone as he looks into the Camera.)
Michael Belfort: Hello everyone and welcome back to Friday Night Dynasty! Right now I have a very Special Guest with me, so everyone help me introduce one of Dynasty’s new acquisitions..they are..ALEX MYERS!!!!!!
(As Alex would walk into frame, with their skateboard in hand, they would receive an unnaturally positive reaction from everyone in attendance. They seem shocked by the reaction, as they sit down on some crates next to Michael.)
Michael Belfort: Welcome back to Dynasty, Alex! Before Road To Redemption, you were notified that you were going to be traded from Voltage to Dynasty, in a situation that kinda caught you off guard. Do you mind sharing your thought process about the trade?
Alex Myers: …If some of you don’t remember, Friday Night Dynasty was my birthplace. When I joined EAW back in May of 2021, I was on the Dynasty Brand. Was it a rough start to my Career? Yes, it was, and I can’t hide that. When I first started out here, I didn’t have the best mindset, but then came Season 15; I was drafted to Voltage, and that’s where I began to take off. Taking big names to their limits, challenging for the New Breed Championship, the moment I was drafted to Voltage, everything turned around for me. But on the last Voltage before Road To Redemption, I was notified by Captain Charisma that I was officially traded back to Friday Night Dynasty. I was shocked, caught off guard; I didn’t expect to leave the Voltage Brand, but I learned to accept it. I-..I failed at Road To Redemption..in a Match I would like to forget. I failed at the Christmas Show a week later..but I won’t let those failures get the best of me any longer. It feels good to be back on Dynasty, because now I can show everyone what I learned — I can show everyone exactly how much I improved from my first few weeks in EAW to now..that I have changed. That I am not the same Alex Myers who resorted to hurting people just to make themself happy, where they didn’t show a care about failing..although they did care..that Alex Myers is gone.
(Michael would take a few moments to process everything that Alex has said, before asking his next question.)
Michael Belfort: Well..um..about the change..can we get some more details about it? What exactly is this change about..? Is it you trying to run-
(Alex would cut Michael off.)
Alex Myers: I needed to change. I needed to change the way I acted towards this World, the way I held myself..I was approaching everything the wrong way. The Old Alex Myers would’ve beaten the shit out of you just because they felt like it, but I’m not like that anymore. I don’t need to hurt people, or to injure people to be happy..I need to succeed. I need to leave all my past failures behind me, because if I let those failures hurt me..how am I supposed to improve. A-..ARIA is working hard to help me with this change, and I’m not going to let her just do it all alone, I’m helping myself too. She’s..my friend, and I’m proud to see that she is succeeding, but now..it’s my time to prove to her, and everyone else that the change was worth it. She knew I didn’t like the way I used to act, and she helped me change that. I’m not like that anymore; I’m not the Alex Myers who started out in EAW, I’m the Alex Myers who wants to prove that they belong here. I failed at Road To Redemption, but I let it go. I failed at the Christmas Show, but I let it go. My focus is now on the King Of Elite Tournament — my focus is now going into this Tournament, and giving it my absolute all, and proving to myself that the change was worth it. I’m not going to let any of my past failures haunt me anymore, I just can’t. So whoever I am going to be facing in the King Of Elite First Round Match, he better be ready for the fight of his life, because I am not going to back down. I am not going to let this Match slip out of my fingers..I am going to win.
Michael Belfort: Well, uh..speaking of the King Of Elite Tournament..it is my job to announce that in the First Round of the Tournament, it will be you, Alex Myers..facing..TERRY CHAMBERS!!!
(Alex would take the Microphone from Michael, and push him to the side where he is out of frame. Alex would then look directly into the Camera.)
Alex Myers: Terry, I have seen what you are capable of. I have seen what you could do — hell, you made it to the final three of the Extreme Elimination Chamber at Road To Redemption..but you don’t know what I am capable of. You don’t know what you are getting yourself into, and I promise that come our Match, you won’t be walking out as the winner, no. You won’t be walking out knowing that you have advanced in the Tournament, because I am not going to allow that. I am not going to allow you to take this moment from me, so I hope you are ready. I hope you are ready to get the absolute shit beaten out of you, because I am going to make sure that you will stay down. I am going to make sure that by the end of our Match, it will be me getting my arms raised. I hope you are listening to this, Terry. I hope you are listening to what I am telling you right now..because I will be forgotten..no more. And this goes to the rest of the participants in this Tournament — you better be careful when going up against me, because in three split seconds, in one moment that can catch you off guard, you will be gone. Eliminated. Your time in the Tournament will be over, and it will all be because of Alex Myers. Damn, it just feels awesome to be back on Dynasty.
(Alex would jump down from the Crates, and would throw the Microphone as they walk out of frame. Michael would come back into frame, grabbing the Microphone and letting out a sigh..)
Michael Belfort: And that was Alex Myers! Stay here with us on Friday Night Dynasty, where we have a huge main event where Ximena Velsaquez faces Candice Blair in a First Round Empress of Elite Tournament Match!-
(As Michael says the name “Candice Blair”, Alex slowly walks back into frame, giving Michael the biggest death stare possible. Michael notices it, and looks a bit frightened..)
Michael Belfort: Uh…BACK TO YOU, STEW!
Stew-O: NO NO! BACK TO YOU! ‘RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE!’ THE CLAYMORE KICK CONNECTS RIGHT ACROSS THE JAW OF ALEX MYERS DROPPING THEM DOWN TO THE CANVAS! TERRY CHAMBERS IS HERE, BUT WHY?! WHY IS HE DOING THIS TO ALEX MYERS AMIDST THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THEIR KING OF ELITE TOURNAMENT MATCH!
Flannery McCoy: TERRY IS ABSOLUTELY GOING TO TOWN MOUNTING ONTO ALEX AND BEGINNING TO SLAM PUNCHES DOWN ON THEIR FACE! ABSOLUTELY NO MERCY BEING SHOWN BUT WHY THE HELL IS TERRY CHAMBERS DOING THIS?! HE’S LIKE A MAN POSSESSED RIGHT NOW AND HE DOESN’T SEEM TO BE WILLING TO STOP!
Jake Mercer: HERE COMES SECURITY COMING TO SPLIT TERRY AWAY FROM ALEX AS ALEX SEEMS TO BE COMPLETELY STUNNED WHILE TERRY IS BREAKING HIMSELF FREE! TERRY IS ATTACKING SECURITY NOW BEFORE BEGINNING TO STOMP DOWN REPEATEDLY ONTO THE ABDOMEN OF ALEX NOW!
(Terry grabs ahold of the legs of Alex before looking to go for something big. But before he can, Dynasty General Manager StarrStan quickly sprints into the scene yelling at Terry who stops his assault to loom at him.)
StarrStan: TERRY! STOP THIS RIGHT NOW! DO ANYTHING MORE AND I’M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW YOU BETTER KISS YOUR CHANCES IN THE KING OF ELITE TOURNAMENT GOODBYE!
(The only response that Terry gives… is a smirk.)
Stew-O: TERRY SWINGING ALEX AROUND AND SLAMMING THEM SHOULDER FIRST INTO A PRODUCTION CRATE! WHY IS TERRY DOING THIS?!
(Alex screams in agony clutching onto their shoulder while officials immediately split the two of them apart, Terry looking satisfied at his work while Starr quickly checks on Alex as well. Terry simply dusts his hands before making his way out of the scene, with a displeased Starr looking up at him before looking down at Alex.)
StarrStan: Send Alex to medical, I don’t care anymore, Terry Chambers is disqualified from the King of Elite tournament and Alex Myers is getting a first round bye. Absolutely ridiculous.
(The crowd pops loudly for this announcement as it’s the last shot seen before Dynasty slowly begins to fade to elsewhere.)
(Friday Night Dynasty comes back to the ring in the PPG Paints Arena where Stephie Love is seen standing at the center of the ring with a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand ready to announce the next match at hand!)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following is a FIRST ROUND MATCH FOR THE KING OF ELITE TOURNAMENT!!!!!! And it is a contest scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Rockstar’ by N.E.R.D begins to blast through the speakers of the arena to the thunderous boos from the crowd while Andre Walker is seen making his way out to the stage. He has Albert Hitchman by his side who holds the Interwire Championship in his hand, before he hands him his Championship and leaves for the backstage area letting Andre bask in his glory. Andre then raises the Interwire Championship into the air, before making his way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… from The Isle of Samoa… weighing in at 245 pounds… he is the EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!! THE LAST KAISER… ANDRE WALKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Well the last time we saw Andre Walker he was laid down in defeat after a match against Ronn Banks at An Aussie Summer Christmas Spectacular. It’s definitely taken a hit on his ego and you can see how introspective he’s been leading up to this week.
Flannery McCoy: But that doesn’t mean he knows the job at hand, that’s making the future his and defending the Interwire Championship, along with dominating the King of Elite tournament that he finds himself in. It’s a huge job that he knows he can take because well, he’s Andre Walker. But will that be enough?
(‘Extreme Ways’ by Moby begins to blast through the speakers of the arena to faint cheers being heard by a few in the crowd upon seeing Cloud Stryfe make his way out to the stage. He has a determined look on his face, circling around the stage and hyping up the crowd while he focuses on the ring before beginning to make his way down the ramp and towards the ring.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent… residing in Toronto, Canada… weighing in at 195 pounds… THE BLEACH… CLOUD STRYFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: And you can imagine just how much of an opportunity this has to be for Cloud. Walking into this match with determination knowing that this is not only a King of Elite first round match and his debut, he’s going up against a Champion. Not many people get this chance, and he knows he can’t let the people down.
Jake Mercer: BAH GAWD IT’S CLOUD! HE CAME OUT RIGHT FROM THE FUCKING VIDEO GAME! Or did he come from somewhere else :troll:. HE BOUT TO SLASH HIS WAY THROUGH THE COMPETITION AND ANDRE WALKER IS FIRST! HE FUCKED UP!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Here we go as the second King of Elite tournament first round match of the night is underway! Cloud is immediately bursting out of his corner with a determined look on his face, he looks pumped and ready to go like he just got shot out of a cannon. Meanwhile, Andre has an emotionless expression out of his face while he slowly follows suit and begins to make his way around the ring as well. Both of them look to be warming up before this absolute war begins to unfold before they begin to meet each other at the center of the ring. Both of them begin to stand their ground, with Cloud raising a hand in the air looking to start this match properly with a collar-and-elbow tie up.
Flannery McCoy: But Andre isn’t having that, sending a kick towards the abdomen of Cloud forcing him to double over! That didn’t go the way Cloud expected, BEFORE ANDRE STEPS FORWARD AND GRABS AHOLD OF HIS HEAD BEFORE SLAMMING HIM DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS! Andre knows that he’s not going to get ahead of himself, he doesn’t want to take any chances and who can blame him for being on ice after what happened two weeks ago. Andre grabs Cloud by his arm before throwing him towards the ropes and back!
Jake Mercer: BUT CLOUD OUT OF NOWHERE USES THE MOMENTUM TO CONNECT WITH A BASEBALL DROPKICK TO HIS KNEECAP! Andre clutches at his knee not expecting the sudden attack by Cloud, WHILE CLOUD ENDS UP BEHIND HIM AND GRABS HIM BY HIS HEAD PLANTING HIM DOWN WITH A QUICK BULLDOG! Cloud is beginning to feel it now while he turns around and jumps up to the top rope, with Andre trying to recover as quickly as possible and get back into the match. BUT BEFORE THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION CAN DO ANYTHING, CLOUD LEAPS OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND DROPS ANDRE BACK DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A DIVING FRONT DROPKICK RIGHT TOWARDS HIS CHEST!
Stew-O: The tides have shifted in an instant and I know damn well that’s not what Andre had in mind. Andre slowly begins to get back up, planting a knee down to the ground in hopes of getting some sort of vertical base before Cloud can continue his assault. CLOUD SHIFTING HIS BODY BEFORE GOING FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF ANDRE’S HEAD! But Andre manages to grab ahold of him, BEFORE TAKING THE OTHER LEG AS WELL AND LIFTING CLOUD UP INTO THE AIR BEFORE EXECUTING A SIT-OUT POWERBOMB SLAMMING HIM DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS!
Flannery McCoy: Cloud clutching onto his spine while Andre grabs him by his head not looking to waste anytime, BEFORE LIFTING CLOUD OFF OF THE GROUND AND DROPS HIM BACK DOWN WITH AN EARTH-SHATTERING SPINEBUSTER! Andre has the opportunity in front of him and I don’t think he plans to let go of it, but Cloud isn’t planning to go down so easily either while he gets back up to his feet. WITH ANDRE GOING FOR A BIG BOOT TO HIS FACE!
Jake Mercer: But Cloud manages to roll under it, BEFORE GOING BEHIND ANDRE AND CONNECTING WITH A CHOP BLOCK TO THE BACK OF HIS KNEE! Andre is wounded, dipping down to a knee while Cloud runs to the ropes and back, BEFORE GOING FOR A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE TO HIS HEAD! BUT ONCE AGAIN ANDRE GRABS HIM AND LIFTS HIM UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS GOING FOR ANOTHER POWERBOMB TO DROP HIM DOWN IN ANOTHER COUNTER!
Stew-O: But Cloud saw it coming, beginning to rain down punches onto his skull before Andre can fully execute it! You can’t knock Cloud, he’s putting up one hell of a fight right now and I don’t think he plans to let up! But then again he is up against Andre Walker, who manages to hold his ground and keep him up into a Powerbomb position! INSTEAD RESORTING TO RAMMING HIM INTO THE TURNBUCKLES WITH A BUCKLE BOMB! Cloud bounces off of the corner managing to keep himself upward, BUT HE FALLS RIGHT INTO ANDRE GRABBING HIM AND SPINNING HIM AROUND TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE CANVAS BEFORE TAKING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A URANAGE! CLOUD IS DOWN WHILE ANDRE HOOKS THE LEG FOR AN EARLY PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT IT’S CLOUD THAT KICKS OUT! Andre is looking to soften him up so he’s in a prime position to finish the job but by the looks of things, he didn’t really expect it to be as challenging as it actually was. Andre bringing Cloud up to his feet, a scowl on his face while he grabs him and throws him towards the ropes, BEFORE POPPING HIM UP OFF THE GROUND AND GOING FOR A MASSIVE MILITARY PRESS SLAM!
Jake Mercer: But Cloud manages to slip off of his shoulders just in time! CLOUD STEPPING FORWARD AND CONNECTING WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE BACK OF ANDRE’S HEAD! Before Cloud runs to the ropes and back, GOING FOR A SHINING WIZARD TO THE HEAD OF ANDRE TO COMPLETELY KNOCK HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
Stew-O: But before that can happen Andre manages to duck his head under! Cloud crashes and burns while he tries to get back up to his feet! BUT ANDRE GRABS A HOLD OF HIM AND GOES FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX! But before he can execute that Cloud manages to connect with a back elbow towards his face! Andre steps back while Cloud sets him up, RUNNING FORWARD AND CONNECTING WITH A BICYCLE KNEE! Cloud then running past him and running to the ropes and back, GOING FOR ANOTHER BICYCLE KNEE TO DROP CLOUD FOR GOOD MEASURE THIS TIME!
Flannery McCoy: ‘KAISER’S TOUCH!’ ANDRE USES THE MOMENTUM TO SPRING FORWARD AND KNOCK CLOUD STRYFE DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A SUPERMAN PUNCH! IT CONNECTS AS ANDRE DROPS DOWN AND HOOKS THE LEG, GOING FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT RIGHT HERE!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRR-
Jake Mercer: BUT CLOUD MANAGES TO KICK OUT ONCE AGAIN! THE FIGHT OF THIS MAN!
Stew-O: Andre is wasting no time, grabbing him before sending him into an Irish whip towards the corner, BEFORE HE RUNS FORWARD AND LOOKS TO TURN CLOUD INSIDE OUT WITH A CORNER CLOTHESLINE! But before that can connect, Cloud uses the ropes to lift himself up and send a kick towards his face to keep him away! Cloud is now jumping up to the middle rope, looking to utilize some quick offense to take Andre down to the ground! CLOUD GOING FOR A MISSILE DROPKICK!
Flannery McCoy: But Andre manages to grab onto his leg before it can connect, PICKING HIM UP INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN ONTO HIS KNEE WITH AN USHIGOROSHI! Andre isn’t done though, GRABBING AHOLD OF CLOUD AND PICKING HIM UP INTO A DEADLIFT OFF THE MAT INTO A BRUTAL GERMAN SUPLEX! Cloud is definitely feeling it now, while Andre patiently lies in wait, waiting for the next moment to strike!
Jake Mercer: Cloud stumbles up to his feet, but little does he knows he’s falling right into the trap of the Interwire Champion! ANDRE GOING FOR ‘RIGAMORTIS!’ THE SUSPENDED VERTICAL SUPLEX CHEST-TO-CHEST SLAM LOOKING TO CONNECT!
Stew-O: But it’s Cloud that manages to slip out of it just in time, BEFORE ROLLING ANDRE UP INTO A SCHOOLBOY PIN! But that was just to roll Andre into position for, ‘SWORD ART!’ THE KNEELING SUPERKICK CONNECTS RIGHT ACROSS THE JAW OF THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS WHILE CLOUD HOOKS THE LEG AND GOES FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREE-
Flannery McCoy: BUT ANDRE GETS THE SHOULDER UP BEFORE THE COUNT CAN FINISH!
Jake Mercer: Cloud is wasting no time, understanding that he might not have another opportunity like this again. Cloud begins to make his way up to the top rope, slowly beginning to lie in wait while Andre gets his bearings. Andre is slowly finding it harder and harder to keep his ground in this match and you can see that this is just not going good for him whatsoever. CLOUD LEAPING OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND DROPPING ANDRE DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A CROSSBODY!
Stew-O: Cloud isn’t done though, RUNNING TO THE ROPES AND BACK AND LEAPING INTO THE AIR BEFORE DROPPING A KNEE RIGHT DOWN ONTO HIS HEAD! Andre is trying his best to recover, doing everything to regain some sort of ground and shake off all the agony that he’s been going through right now. BUT CLOUD GOING FOR A BIG BOOT TO THE FACE OF ANDRE! But Andre manages to sidestep and send Cloud towards the ropes before it can connect! ANDRE LIFTING CLOUD UP INTO THE AIR AND GOING FOR A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE MAT!
Flannery McCoy: But it’s Cloud that manages to send a forearm to the face to force some distance between the two of them! Andre stumbles back while Cloud makes his way towards him, BUT IT’S ANDRE THAT CONNECTS WITH A BRUTAL HEADBUTT TO HIS SKULL THAT COMPLETELY DAZES HIM! Cloud is forced backward, using the ropes to keep himself upward before he can collapse down to the mat. BUT ANDRE IS RUNNING FORWARD GOING FOR A CLOTHESLINE TO SEND HIM OVER THE TOP AND TO THE OUTSIDE!
Jake Mercer: BUT CLOUD MANAGES TO PULL DOWN THE ROPES AND SEND ANDRE OVER THE TOP! Cloud setting Andre up while he attempts to recover on the outside! CLOUD RUNNING TO THE ROPES AND BACK BEFORE KNOCKING ANDRE BACKWARD WITH A BASEBALL SLIDE COMPLETELY TAKING HIM BACK! Andre clutches against the barricade trying to get some sort of ground while Cloud jumps over the top rope and lands on the apron, BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND SENDING A PENALTY KICK TOWARDS HIS FACE TO COMPLETELY KNOCK HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! Cloud is on fire right now while he grabs Andre and rolls him back into the ring, RUNNING TOWARDS HIM AND LAUNCHING HIMSELF INTO THE AIR GOING FOR A BRUTAL BACK ELBOW TO THE FACE OF ANDRE!
Stew-O: BUT IT’S ANDRE THAT MANAGES TO COUNTER POPPING UP CLOUD ONTO HIS SHOULDERS BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A SAMOAN DROP! Andre realizing how little time he has right now, GRABBING AHOLD OF CLOUD BEFORE TOSSING HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE! Andre is trying to get a breather and keep Cloud at bay for the time being before beginning to make his way towards Cloud, BUT IT’S CLOUD WITH A ROPE-ASSISTED ENZUIGIRI TOWARDS THE FACE OF ANDRE SENDING HIM BACKWARD! Andre stumbling backwards, clutching at his head trying to push through the pain that he must be in right now, this absolutely does not look good for the Interwire Champion at the moment.
Flannery McCoy: Meanwhile Cloud is stomping his feet on the apron, waiting anxiously for Andre to turn his head and shift his focus toward him. Cloud is yelling at him to come on, it’s clear that if there was a moment to finish this, it’s right now. Cloud bracing himself while he’s face to face with Andre, BEFORE LEAPING OFF OF THE ROPES AND GOING FOR THE ‘CLOUD NINE ELBOW!’ THE SPRINGBOARD FOREARM SMASH TO THE FACE OF ANDRE TO POSSIBLY SPELL THE BEGINNING OF THE END! CLOUD STRYFE COULD VERY WELL GET THE BIGGEST WIN OF HIS CAREER IN HIS DEBUT!
Jake Mercer: ‘HUNGER ON HILLSIDE!’
Stew-O: THE SPEAR CONNECTS ABSOLUTELY TEARING CLOUD RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE IN MID-AIR WITH ANDRE ABSOLUTELY DRILLING THE NEWCOMER DOWN TO THE CANVAS! ANDRE LOOKS LIKE A MAN POSSESSED, AN ANGERED SCOWL ON HIS FACE WHILE HE LEANS BACK AND HOOKS THE LEG ON CLOUD, SHOULDERS DOWN WHILE THE REFEREE SLIDES DOWN AND INITIATES THE COUNT! COULD THIS BE IT?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Rockstar once again begins to play up through the speakers of the arena while Andre Walker slowly tries to help himself up to his feet, trying to soothe himself from the pain with the sweet feeling of victory. Albert Hitchman is seen making his reappearance, going around and snatching the Interwire Championship away from ringside before sliding into the ring and handing Andre his Championship. Albert then raises Andre’s hand in the air while Andre celebrates his victory.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner… THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION!!!!!!!!! ANDRE WALKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: And we have a winner! Andre Walker definitely went through hell and back against an unprecedented challenge tonight. He had his back against the wall but ultimately he knew that he had a match to win and that led him to come out on top and advance to round two of the King of Elite tournament!
Stew-O: Cloud Stryfe definitely put himself on the map with that performance, especially in his debut against a Champion as well. Although he came up short, that doesn’t mean that it’s over for him yet, there’s so much more to come for him on the Dynasty brand. But nonetheless, Congratulations to Andre Walker on his victory!
(The New Year’s Eve broadcast of Friday Night Dynasty continues on as it returns from a scheduled commercial break, and the scene opens up in the interview area of the backstage area where in its usual position in the background is a monitor bearing the Friday Night Dynasty logo on its screen. With Michael Belfort in the foreground and a microphone in hand, the enthusiastic interview raises the mic he’s got to address the audiences watching on.)
Michael Belfort: As we inch closer and closer to starting a new year, everyone takes the time to reflect upon some of the moments they had throughout the past year, how it’s all brought them to whatever point they may be at now, and who I’ve got with me here now to speak on just that is a woman who’s seen her way through quite a turbulent 2021: Andrea Valentine!
(The camera pans to reveal Andrea just taking her place beside Michael in the frame of the camera and sporting a smile as he takes the time to welcome her onto the set, and thank her for taking the time to agree to being interviewed.)
Michael Belfort: I hope you don’t mind me saying as much, but I think it’s quite telling that the early half of 2021 was a tumultuous time for you and for a number of reasons, and you seemed to have gotten a grasp on things as Season 15 has continued on. Considering all that you’ve navigated yourself through this year, what does 2022 mean for you? It’s usually when people turn over a new leaf or them taking the moment to declare making an impact, though I’m guessing from what we saw at the Aussie Summer Christmas Spectacular with you deciding to confront Ms. Extreme, that you must already be spoken for!
Andrea Valentine: Well, before we go getting into what all happened there, I do want to say that 2021 really was a whole learning experience. Everyone has their highs and lows, and I definitely didn’t go without some down periods this year like I did in the first half of the year. I was injured for a while, I got myself wrapped up in the way I was feeling about so much of what had gone on and let it have an affect on me in the worst of ways by taking it out on the same women I called my friends – it was a mess I never saw myself getting into but there I was right in the middle of it. Like I told Ms. Extreme though, I was never gonna act like that wasn’t “me” or that I didn’t really understand what I was doing. But with Season 15 and where I’m at now, I feel like I’ve definitely turned some things around for the better and I think that’s pretty undeniable considering how I think about how everything could’ve played out after Season 14.
Michael Belfort: We’ve seen you get some nice wins but also take some significant losses, it doesn’t appear that you’ve let anything really get you down or disrupt your outlook on things except for maybe the situation with StarrStan going into Road to Redemption. But even then, you’re already trying to make sure that you’re one of the first out there with some big intentions as we’ve already seen.
Andrea Valentine: Whatever setbacks I faced this season weren’t ever gonna be anything that I couldn’t come back from or find some way to deal with, I know I’ve been knocked down a couple of times, but getting back into it and pushing forward was always going to be something that I knew would be most important for me. The one thing I’ve been sure to do is keep that in mind and keep my head held high knowing how sure of myself I am, and I know that’s what’s been making the difference for me this season with the doors I know that I can open up through what I can continue to do. One of those doors may not have been an entry into an Extreme Elimination Chamber Match this year, even though I believe I definitely had a legit claim to that match, but that’s why I saw fit to go trying to make that opportunity happen for the Universal Women’s Championship. Being left out of an Extreme Elimination Chamber Match when you look at everything that was going on was definitely something I’ve let everyone know that I thought wasn’t great – not because I just expected it but because I felt I was deserving through everything I’d done, and I was pretty much the perfect fit for one of those matches. I mean, I would’ve appreciated StarrStan just being upfront and getting out whatever his explanation for that could’ve been, but at this point, there’s nothing anyone can do about that because there’s really no changing what happened. What’s done is done and now I’m looking ahead toward trying to get my next opportunity.
Andrea Valentine: Despite however Bethany was trying to make it seem the week of Road to Redemption about how even if I would’ve lost to her that I could’ve expected to get a Universal Women’s Title match, I wasn’t buying into that shit. We went into that match with the both of us knowing that we’d been left on the outside looking in when it came to the Extreme Elimination Chamber lineup when that shouldn’t have been the case for either of us; we’d already proven ourselves when it came to that but things just continued to escalate. I had to hear without proof about how I apparently “refused” to have a match with her or something, or that I “refused” to wrestle for a whole month even though that was never the case – but that didn’t stop me from having to hear shit like that. That’s why, at the end of it all, if I had learned anything from the situation about the Extreme Elimination Chamber mess, it’s that I was going to be far better off handling things the way that I did by just going up to Ms. Extreme herself and letting her know upfront that I was coming for the Universal Women’s Championship.
(Andrea nods her head knowing that the decision to want to challenge Ms. Extreme wasn’t something to be done lightly or just a decision to be made just to create some buzz. With everything that both women know about each other and their history together, it could only ever be a tense situation regarding how they’d met each face to face for the first time in months.)
Michael Belfort: Your formering Beating Hearts ally definitely didn’t seem to appreciate the interruption at the Aussie Summer Christmas Spectacular, and considering the way your intentions for the Universal Women’s Championship were received, it’s a wonder if this was the best course of action seeing as how Ms. Extreme essentially turned you down. What could you possibly make of what she had to say?
(Andrea pauses for a moment, thinking over the words that had been said to each other and how Ms. Extreme ultimately passed on considering her as a potential match-up. The conflicted expression Andrea ended up with after having been dismissed by Ms. Extreme appears on her face for a moment again before she speaks back into the microphone.)
Andrea Valentine: I know I pretty much got the cold shoulder from her with her saying that I wouldn’t know what I’d really be in for and that she was basically doing me a favor by not having me in that position since she thinks I’d just be disappointed, but how many other people have said that before one way or another? Going out there to let her know to her face that I’m looking to get that Universal Women’s Championship wasn’t done on a whim, and I knew full well that there was gonna be the chance that I’d have my past losses in World Championship matches thrown back at me, but that didn’t do anything to make me think that what I did was a mistake of any kind. She can say that she believes she’s better, that I wouldn’t win or really end up with a greater chance than anyone she’s defended against already – but that’s just typical Ms. Extreme. I wouldn’t expect her to be anything less than her being as confident as she is now. But when I’ve got my own goals to achieve, I can’t put that on pause just because of any lingering feelings she might have about what I did or what she may or may not think of me because of it at this point. If she wants to doubt me though, that’s fine – like I said, it’s expected given the position she’s in now – but it’s also nothing new to hear and those are doubts I’m sure I can overcome.
Andrea Valentine: If she wants to point at me losing to Xander or whoever else this season as some kind of indication of what would happen, she can do that when it comes to saying if she thinks I’m ready or not to be in World Title contention, but I know better. That’s nothing I’m gonna let stop me. I already have a damn good idea of what I’d be up against when it comes to her and considering what she had to say, I’d only ever be looking forward to meeting her in that ring for the Universal Women’s Championship. Being the Champion that I know she really is, I don’t think this is a match she should really think about turning down as quickly as she did, especially when we both know what the other can do and how we could really push each other with so much on the line. I’d say King of Elite would be the perfect place to have this match, but it all comes back to Ms. Extreme having to decide to be the Champion that we all know her to be – the Champion who doesn’t turn down any challenge for any reason, no matter what – and that’s all I’m asking for. It doesn’t take a whole lot on her part to accept that, and I know what kind of challenge this would turn out to be for me, but it’s a challenge that I’ve worked toward and a challenge that I feel like I was born for because of all that I’ve given already and what I know I can continue to give. I know I’m ready for it.
(Andrea nods her head with a softer smile as she looks to Michael, the interview coming to end upon that note with the camera focused on Andrea before the scene comes to fade out.)
(‘Diva’ by Beyonce hits, as the Pittsburgh crowd rises up to their feet and cheers loudly. After a moment, Candice Blair steps out onto the stage and flaunts her blonde hair. She continues to make her way down the entrance ramp and towards the ring, as she smiles out to the cheering fans.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is set for one fall!! And it is a first round match in the Empress of Elite!!! Introducing first.. From San Francisco, California!! Weighing in at 126lbs!! THE HOT COMMODITY!! CANDICE BLAIR!!!
Stew-O: And here we go!! Main event time here on Friday Night Dynasty!
Jake Mercer: And what better way than to finish the night with an Empress of Elite First Round Matchup!
Stew-O: This will surely be a great one based off of what’s at stake here tonight, but even just the talent alone that will be on display in that ring in a few moments is going to be fun to watch.
(‘Recreant’ by Chelsea Grin hits, as the crowd boos heavily. After a moment, Ximena Velasquez steps out onto the stage and stares directly at Candice Blair inside of the ring. Blair responds with a stare of her own, as the two begin to stare down while Ximena Velasquez makes her way towards the ring. The tension begins to rise, as both of these women know they must surpass the other in order to advance on in the Empress of Elite Tournament.)
Stephie Love: And her opponent!! From El Paso, Texas!! Weighing in at 180lbs!! LA DIOSA!!! XIMENA VELASQUEZ!!!
Stew-O: Speaking about the talent in this match, when we look at Ximena, we see an absolute powerhouse that can toss around anyone in this company. She plays no games, and gets the job done. She’s stated she wants everyone to kneel before her, and I believe she has the power to make that happen.
Flannery McCoy: Then at the other side of the ring, we have Candice, who’s won these fans over by her ability to always see the positives in everything. She’s gone through quite a lot throughout her career, and we all know that she’s going to put on a fight in order to advance in this tournament.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: There’s the bell and this first round match for the Empress of Elite is underway! Ximena Velasquez and Candice Blair stare at each other from opposite sides of the ring. They both know what is at stake here in this opening round, as they both want to be the last one standing when the tournament is all said and done! Ximena charges in at Candice Blair!! Lariat by Ximena!!! No!! Candice ducks underneath the arm, as Ximena runs right past her! Ximena continues towards the ropes, rebounds back.. AND GETS CAUGHT BY A SPINNING HEEL KICK TO THE ABDOMEN BY CANDICE BLAIR!!
Flannery McCoy: That heel kick definitely knocked the wind out of Velasquez, as Ximena is now hunched over and clutching at her stomach in pain!! Candice takes a step back.. THEN KICK XIMENA RIGHT IN THE CHEST, AS THAT SHOOTS VELASQUEZ UP INTO AN UPRIGHT POSITION!! Ximena staggers back.. ROUNDHOUSE KICK BY CANDICE BLAIR!!!
Stew-O: NO!! NOT QUITE!! Ximena managed to duck her head underneath the leg of Candice Blair who does a complete 360 degree spin!! Candice loses her balance and.. IT’S XIMENA WITH A MONSTROUS CHOP TO THE CHEST OF BLAIR!! ANOTHER CHOP TO THE CHEST BY XIMENA!! AND ANOTHER!! With each chop, she forces Candice to take 2-3 steps back!! ANOTHER CHOP!! AND A FOURTH ONE!!! Ximena now has Candice backed up against the side ropes. She then whips Candice hard across the ring, as Candice bolts over to the opposite side!! Candice hits the ropes and rebounds back! SCOOP SLAM BY XIMENA VELASQUEZ!!! WOW THAT ONE PLANTED CANDICE BLAIR RIGHT INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING MAT!!
Jake Mercer: Ximena now rises up to her feet, as she looks down at the body of Candice Blair. STOMP TO THE MIDSECTION BY XIMENA!!
Flannery McCoy: Candice clutches at her stomach in pain, but is immediately kicked over by Ximena! Candice rolls onto her stomach.. AND XIMENA WITH ANOTHER STOMP!! THIS TIME DIRECTED TOWARDS THE LOWER BACK OF CANDICE!! Candice tries to reach down and clutch at her lower back, but is immediately shoved down by Ximena as.. XIMENA STEPS OVER AND LOCKS IN THE CAMEL CLUTCH!! THE CAMEL CLUTCH IS LOCKED IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!!
Stew-O: Ximena Velasquez is showing absolutely no mercy right now, as she continues to pry and pull back on the head and neck of Candice Blair.
Jake Mercer: You heard her earlier this week. She said she wants everyone to kneel before her as she wins this tournament. This match right here could be the match that warns everyone that they need to order some kneeling pads if they have bad knees.
Stew-O: Ximena is making a statement that’s for sure. Early on in this match, she has taken control, and by grounding someone like Candice, it will only help her chances of winning. Ximena knows exactly what she needs to do. She needs to play to her strengths, and that’s what is happening right here.
Flannery McCoy: That’s a great analysis, Stew. Ximena is definitely the stronger one of the two, and we can clearly see how much that is affecting Candice Blair while she’s stuck in this camel clutch!! Blair is trying all she can to break the grip of Ximena Velasquez right now, but it’s simply just too strong. Add in the fact that Blair’s back probably feels like it’s about to snap into two, this puts Candice in a tough situation!
Stew-O: Ximena continues to pull back on the head and neck of Candice, as Candice screams out in pain. The referee goes to check up on her and asks if she wants to quit, but Blair refuses as she shakes her head. Blair doesn’t want to give up easily here. She knows that winning this tournament could do for her career, and she’s showing tons of heart by not giving up, but she needs to find a way out of this submission hold or else..
Jake Mercer: Or else her body will snap in half and split into two. I’ve seen it before in one of those Japanese EAWs.
Flannery McCoy: :snoop:
Stew-O: WAIT!! XIMENA JUST RELEASED THE CAMEL CLUTCH!! SHE GRABBED CANDICE BY THE BACK OF THE HEAD, AND JUST SHOVED HER FACE RIGHT DOWN INTO THE MAT IN FRONT OF HER!! Ximena then rises up to her feet with one boot on each side of Candice’s body.. AND XIMENA WITH A HARD STOMP DOWN ONTO THE CENTER OF CANDICE’S BACK!! Candice clutches at her back in pain, then is kicked over by Ximena! Blair rolls onto her back as she faces the ceiling of this arena. And while she’s doing that, things don’t seem to be looking good for her, as Ximena has her eyes set on the turnbuckles in the corner!
Jake Mercer: It looks like Ximena is feeling a little risky!!
Stew-O: It looks like that’s the case, Jake, however, I still feel a grounded game best suits her against Candice tonight. She could have won the match just moments ago with the strength of her Camel Clutch alone!
Jake Mercer: But why win it that way, when you can win it in style!! Ximena Velasquez has just made her way up onto the top rope! She’s staring down at Candice Blair who is still facing the ceiling of this arena!! Ximena pats her right elbow!! Here she goes!! ELBOW DROP FROM THE TOP ROPE BY XIMENA VELASQUEZ!!!
Flannery McCoy: NO!! NO!! NO!!! XIMENA CRASHED!!! AND XIMENA BURNED!!!!! CANDICE BLAIR GOT OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST POSSIBLE MOMENT!!!
Stew-O: WOW!! Just as Ximena leaped into the air, Candice Blair managed to roll her body out of harm’s way!! While Blair had no damage done to herself, Ximena lands directly on her right elbow!! Ximena is now face down on the mat while clutching that right elbow in pain!! Ximena slowly rises up to her knees, then up to her feet while holding onto that right elbow.. BUT IT’S A CALF KICK BY CANDICE BLAIR THAT CATCHES XIMENA RIGHT AT THE TOP OF THE HEAD!! Ximena clutches at her head in pain, then staggers back!!
Stew-O: ROUNDHOUSE KICK BY CANDICE BLAIR!!!
Jake Mercer: NO!! XIMENA DUCKS UNDERNEATH THE LEG AS CANDICE SPINS ALL THE WAY AROUND!! KICK TO THE STOMACH BY XIMENA!! SHE LOCKS IN A FRONT FACE LOCK!!
Flannery McCoy: DDT BY XIMEN-
Stew-O: NO!!! CANDICE BLAIR SPINS OUT OF IT AND.. SHE CONNECTS WITH A SITOUT JAWBREAKER!!! SITOUT JAWBREAKER BY CANDICE BLAIR!! THAT JAWBREAKER STUNS XIMENA VELASQUEZ, AS VELASQUEZ CAN BARELY STAY ON HER FEET!!
Flannery McCoy: And Candice Blair realizes this!! Candice sprints her way to the opposite side of the ring! She hits the ropes, while at the other end, Velasquez falls back against the side ropes and springs back towards the charging Candice!!! SLINGBLADE BY CANDICE BLAIR!!! SHE JUST SENT XIMENA RIGHT DOWN INTO THE CANVAS OF THE RING WITH THAT SLING BLADE!!
Stew-O: Ximena Velasquez makes her way up to her feet, but is met by Candice Blair who delivers a strong forearm shot across the face!! Ever since that missed elbow drop, Candice has taken control of this match. Ximena continues to step back, as Candice connects with another forearm shot that sends Ximena right against the corner turnbuckles. Candice now takes a few steps away from Ximena, then charges in!! BACK HANDSPRING!!! INTO AN ELBOW STRIKE RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE OF XIMENA!!!
Flannery McCoy: That one had to hurt!! Ximena clutches at the bridge of her nose, as Candice Blair steps out of the corner. Ximena steps out as well as she continues to grab at her face in pain.. BUT CANDICE WITH A STUNNER!!! CANDICE WITH A STUNNER THAT NEARLY KNOCKS XIMENA OFF HER FEET!! Ximena stumbles back towards the side ropes, rebounds.. AND WALKS RIGHT INTO AN INVERTED STOMP FACEBREAKER BY CANDICE BLAIR!! THAT ONE SNAPS XIMENA DOWN AND SENDS HER RIGHT DOWN TO THE CANVAS OF THE RING!!! CANDICE BLAIR HOOKS THE LEGS AND TRIES TO PUT THIS ONE AWAY!!!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRR-
Stew-O: And there’s the kickout by Ximena!!
Flannery McCoy: Candice Blair now works her way up to her feet, as she stares down at Ximena Velasquez! Blair then walks beside Ximena and.. STANDING DOUBLE KNEE MOONSAULT BY CANDICE BLAIR!! HER KNEES JUST DRILLED RIGHT INTO THE MIDSECTION OF XIMENA VELASQUEZ!!!
Stew-O: And look at Ximena right here! She’s wisely rolling off to the side of the ring, and gets herself up onto the ring apron. She’s clutching at her ribs in pain after that moonsault from Blair moments ago, but still manages to get herself up onto a standing position on the apron. Ximena lifts her head up.. AND IT’S CANDICE BLAIR WITH A SPEAR THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPES INTO XIMENA!!!
Flannery McCoy: NO!! XIMENA SPUN OUT OF THE WAY, AS CANDICE BLAIR WENT FLYING RIGHT THROUGH THE MIDDLE AND TOP ROPES!! BLAIR LANDS HARD DOWN ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!!
Stew-O: Meanwhile, Ximena Velasquez builds a smile on her face as she stares at Blair from the ring apron. Ximena hops down from the ring apron and begins to approach Candice Blair!!
Jake Mercer: This is not good for Candice! Not good at all! While she’s down at ringside, it’s almost as if she’s the lone fish in the ocean, and Ximena is the shark ready to devour her!! Ximena sees the opening that she has right now, and Candice is nothing but her prey! Candice struggles to get to her hands and knees..
Stew-O: BUT IT DOESN’T MATTER, BECAUSE XIMENA RIPS HER FROM OFF OF THE GROUND, THEN BIEL TOSSES HER RIGHT UP AGAINST THE RINGSIDE BARRIER!!! CANDICE HITS THE BARRIER HARD AS THE SOUND OF HER FLESH HITTING AGAINST IT ECHOES THROUGHOUT THE ARENA!! XIMENA VELASQUEZ TOSSED HER WITH TREMENDOUS FORCE!!
Flannery McCoy: Candice Blair is down and struggling to get back to her hands and knees. She raises her head and looks up and into the eyes of Ximena Velasquez who simply just reaches down and grabs her yet again!! AND XIMENA HAS CANDICE BY THE HEAD!! SHE RUSHES OVER WITH HER GRIP ON BLAIR, AND TOSSES HER INTO THE STEEL STEPS!!! CANDICE TUMBLES OVER THE STEPS AND CRASHES HARD ONTO HER BACK HERE AT RINGSIDE!!!
Referee: One.. Two.. Three.. Four..
Stew-O: Ximena Velasquez stares down at Candice Blair who is looking pretty rough out there. Velasquez walks right up to her downed body, then looks up at the ring, before walking past Blair and towards it. Velasquez then slides herself into the ring, as the crowd begins to boo Ximena Velasquez.
Referee: Five.. Six..
Flannery McCoy: On the outside, Candice Blair is slow to make any progress back to her feet. Meanwhile, Ximena Velasquez stands strong as she prepares for victory. This crowd doesn’t want it to end this way!!
Referee: Seven..
Stew-O: Wait a second!! It’s Candice Blair!! Blair on the outside!! She’s managed to get up to her hands and knees!! She’s trying to get herself up onto one leg!!
Referee: Eight…
Stew-O: BUT CANDICE BLAIR STUMBLES OVER AND LANDS ON HER HANDS AND KNEES!!! SHE BEGINS TO CRAWL TOWARDS THE RING!!
Referee: Nine…
Flannery McCoy: AND BLAIR SLIDES INTO THE RING!!! BLAIR BEATS THE COUNT!!! Candice Blair reaches up and grabs the side ropes to help assist herself up to her feet. She eventually pulls herself up to a standing position, then turns around..
Jake Mercer: SPEAR BY XIMENA VELASQUEZ!!!
Stew-O: NO!!! CANDICE BLAIR JUST LEAPED OVER THE RUSHING BODY OF XIMENA!!! Ximena catches herself up against the side ropes, then turns back around.. BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE BY CANDICE BLAIR!! XIMENA JUST GOT CAUGHT RIGHT IN THE FACE, AND HAS DROPPED DOWN TO THE CANVAS OF THE RING!!
Flannery McCoy: This crowd is going wild right now, as Candice Blair finally catches her breath. She makes her way over to the side ropes, then steps out onto the ring apron. What is she planning right here? She’s gripping the top rope tight, as Ximena is slowly working herself up onto her hands and knees then up to her feet..
Stew-O: AND CANDICE SPRINGS HERSELF UP INTO THE AIR AND TOWARDS XIMENA!!! SPRINGBOARD ARMDRAG BY CAN-
Jake Mercer: NO!!! XIMENA VELASQUEZ JUST CAUGHT CANDICE BLAIR IN MID-AIR!! BEAR HUG!! BEAR HUG!!!
Stew-O: XIMENA VELASQUEZ IS SQUEEZING CANDICE BLAIR WITH EVERYTHING SHE’S GOT!! MEANWHILE, CANDICE IS GASPING FOR AIR AS HER RIBS AND ABDOMEN GET SQUEEZED IN!!
Flannery McCoy: It looks like Ximena is going for the submission as well this time! She isn’t holding back as she begins to whip Candice Blair around while squeezing this bearhug tight!!
Stew-O: She is surely making this bearhug uncomfortable for Candice Blair, but it doesn’t seem like Blair is going to give up. She fought too hard during this match so far to quit now! The next round of this tournament is right there for the taking, but she has to fight through this submission hold!
Jake Mercer: I don’t think she’ll be able to break out of Ximena’s grip.
Flannery McCoy: SHE BROKE OUT!!
Stew-O: You’re right, Flannery! Candice just elbowed Ximena Velasquez right against the ear, and Ximena instantly released her!! Velasquez has dropped down to her knee, as she clutches at her ear! Candice steps up.. SHOOT KICK TO THE CHEST!! ANOTHER SHOOT KICK!! AND ANOTHER!!! THE SECOND ROUND IS RIGHT THERE AND CANDICE BLAIR CAN TASTE IT!!! ANOTHER SHOOT KICK!! ANOTHER!! AND ANOTHER!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Ximena still holds herself up onto that one knee, but definitely looks hurt after those shoot kicks from Candice Blair. Blair now takes a step towards Ximena, and pulls her head in between her legs!
Stew-O: Is this the Candy Destroyer?!?
Flannery McCoy: It looks like it!!! CANDICE GOES FOR IT!!! CANDY DESTROYER!!!
Jake Mercer: NO!!! XIMENA VELASQUEZ TOSSED CANDICE BLAIR OFF WITH A BACK BODY DROP!!! BLAIR LANDED FLAT ON HER BOTTOM!!!
Stew-O: Candice is slow to get up, but manages to get to her feet!! She turns around..
Flannery McCoy: PA’ LA RAZA!!!!!! THE WESTERN LARIAT BY XIMENA VELASQUEZ SNAPS CANDICE’S BODY RIGHT DOWN TO THE CANVAS OF THE RING WITH INCREDIBLE POWER!!! CANDICE LOOKS LIKE SHE’S OUT COLD, AS XIMENA VELASQUEZ DROPS DOWN FOR THE PIN!!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Recreant’ by Chlesea Grin hits, as the crowd boos heavily. Ximena Velasquez rises up to her feet and pays no attention to the booing crowd as she knows the only thing that matters is that she is advancing further into this tournament. Ximena remains focused after a hard fought match as she stares down at Candice Blair.)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner and advancing to the next round of the Empress of Elite Tournament!! LA DIOSA!!!! XIMENA VELASQUEZ!!!
Stew-O: What a match by these two Elitists. It’s hard to believe that this was just a first round match up because both of these women competed at such a high level.
Flannery McCoy: Candice Blair put up a great fight tonight, but in the end, it was Ximena who managed to pull this one out. Not easily, but it really came down to the strength and power of Ximena that was just too much for Blair to handle tonight.
Stew-O: I expect Ximena to continue using that to her advantage throughout this tournament, and who knows? Maybe she’ll finish as the Empress of Elite.
(Ximena Velasquez is seen exiting the ring, as she continues to walk her way up the entrance ramp and towards the stage. The screen then fades elsewhere.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
