(EAW intro plays.)
(Friday Night Dynasty intro plays. A recap of last week’s show is shown off, covering various matches, segments, and all the developing stories for Operation: Doomsday, before Dynasty comes to a live viewing of the CFG Arena in Baltimore, Maryland! As always, the arena is packed, with the fans wild and together like colorful sardines donning their proudest EAW merch! Red pyro goes off on stage before the camera captures everyone once again. After a while, the cameras fade over to the commentary table, where Stew-O, Jake Mercer and Flannery McCoy are on standby!)
Stew-O: Here we are! Next week is Operation: Doomsday, and what a show that has shaped up to be! However, we get things going for tonight with the go-home show for Dynasty! Thank you everyone for tuning in, and welcome! I am Stew-O, and as always, I am joined here by Jake Mercer and Flannery McCoy!
Jake Mercer: Boy, am I amped! I wish we were in Boston already!
Flannery McCoy: Settle down, we’re at the home stretch! Next weekend is sure to be a blast, but tonight, we have an incredible show lined up in its own right, and it’s a can’t-miss!
Stew-O: It certainly is… especially with what is going to be our opening segment involving Drake Armstrong and an apparent funeral for Impact? :lupe:
Jake Mercer: Yessir! Hear he, hear he! It is time for King Armstrong! :blessed: !!
(The Friday Night Dynasty video feed shifts away from the commentator’s table and to a wide shot of the arena… before ‘Funeral March’ by Chopin began playing somberly, reverberating throughout the arena; the cameras panned across the confused faces of the crowd before they cut to the stage, where a procession of Armstrong’s Knights march out from behind the curtains… carrying a casket upon their shoulders!)
(https://media3.giphy.com/media/Wr2747CnxwBSqyK6xt/giphy.gif?cid=6c09b9528c340xkiwqmmq6xi7ax5c7dum1e3vekm5gczbxta&ep=v1_internal_gif_by_id&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g)
(The crowd began booing without a moment’s notice; they may not know exactly what’s going on, but the symbol of the Armstrong Dynasty was all it took for them to realize it was some narcissistic nonsense at the hands of the King of Elite. Drake Armstrong himself walked out behind the funeral procession, with Charles by his side, both of them dressed in all-black formal clothes, looking sorrowful. The entire procession made it to the ring, with the Armstrong Knights carelessly tossing the casket into the ring before carefully opening the ropes for Drake Armstrong to walk in through.)
Stew-O: …Sigh.
Flannery McCoy: …Sigh.
Jake Mercer: The sighs are unnecessary, but I’m glad you two understand the atmosphere; this is a somber occasion! A true funeral being hosted by MY King of Elite, Drake Armstrong!
Stew-O: How do you put up with these egotistical displays, Jake?
Jake Mercer: You call them egotistical displays, I call them the King’s wishes! What the King of Elite wants, the King of Elite gets; if he wants to put on a funeral display for Impact, who am I to say otherwise?
Flannery McCoy: We saw last week as Drake Armstrong lured the legendary Karl Impact into a trap, bringing him into the ring surrounded by those very same knights that we see here tonight! Impact did the best he could to fend them off, but ultimately it was all for naught as Drake Armstrong capitalized on the numbers game and made a statement at Impact’s expense!
Jake Mercer: Not just any statement, he let CHARLES get his own little bit of revenge by giving him the Armstrong Dynasty ring and allowing him to knock Impact out with it! Of course, Drake Armstrong got the last laugh at the end of the day by delivering the Death Penalty to Impact right into a pool of the legend’s own blood!
Stew-O: You’ve got to imagine that Impact is pissed after what happened last week; we haven’t heard anything from him since then, though, and nobody knows where he is. Whatever the case is, though, he’s sure to be watching to see what his opponent at Operation: Doomsday has to say tonight!
Flannery McCoy: Without even a little bit of doubt, I guarantee you that whatever Drake has to say tonight will be the most narcissistic thing you’ve ever heard in your life. That’s just what he does, he’s spoiled to the core.
(The Funeral March music stops playing as Drake Armstrong solemnly takes the microphone into his hand, slowly raising it to his mouth and beginning to speak in spite of the loud boos emanating from the EAW Universe.)
Drake Armstrong: Hush now, hush now… it is considered irreverent and disrespectful to be this loud at a funeral, didn’t you know? Gaze upon me as the true example of how one ought to behave; observe the sorrow in my eyes, the solemn stride by which I entered the ring, the very tasteful clothes I’m wearing!
(The all-black attire was a three-piece suit with a barely-hidden golden Rolex watch gracing his wrist, as well as the obnoxiously opulent Armstrong Dynasty Ring on his finger.)
Drake Armstrong: Ladies and gentlemen… we have gathered here tonight not to mourn the loss of a man, but to mourn the loss of a bonafide LEGEND. Karl Impact – THE Karl Impact – our very own beloved Quintessential Champion… is no longer with us. A tragedy of the highest order occurred one week prior; Charles, proceed to roll the tape in HONOR of our fallen Hall of Famer.
(Charles pressed a button, causing the video feed to shift over to the massive video screen; it lit up with the familiar scene that took place last week. With slow motion editing, a black and white color scheme, and somber orchestral music, the video depicted Karl Impact valiantly fighting back against the onslaught of Armstrong’s Knights. It continued as the knights dropped one by one, but suddenly the video’s slow motion intensified with the resounding sound of a church bell playing the moment Charles’ fist, armed with the Armstrong Dynasty Ring, connected with the forehead of Karl Impact.)
(‘Funeral March’ by Chopin replaced the already-somber orchestral music as Drake Armstrong took over the assault on Impact, causing his blood to spill all over the center of the ring, before the King of Elite picked Impact up. The music slowly came to a close as Drake Armstrong hoisted the legend up and flipped him upside down; the moment Impact’s head was driven into the blood-soaked canvas, the video abruptly switched to a black screen… before a few words popped up in the center.)
(‘Rest In Peace, Karl Impact: 1779 BC – 2025 AD.)
(The video screen shut back off, prompting the lighting to return to the ring… where Drake Armstrong stood with his eyes closed and his head lowered, being bombarded with deafening boos and jeers by the EAW Universe at the dramatic and self-indulgent display.)
Drake Armstrong: The late and great Karl Impact was found deceased in a pool of his own blood, drool trickling down his face, as his legacy shriveled up alongside his fetid, rotting corpse. Woe are we, to have been forced to witness such a tragic and devastating moment! The man has been looked up to by the youthful wrestlers of this generation, the previous generation, the generation before that, and the generation before THAT; he was a truly historic and legendary cornerstone of both Elite Answers Wrestling and of the professional wrestling industry in its entirety.
Drake Armstrong: The cause of death? He withered and perished beneath the incomprehensible weight of his own foolishness; verily, I listened to countless anguished tales by his closest comrades of how he blundered into the clutches of an almighty King Armstrong – hallowed be his regal name – when he SHOULD have known better! Alas, intoxicated by his grand legacy and ego, Karl Impact effectively committed a harrowing, public suicide that was captured on global television.
Drake Armstrong: He marched into the lion’s den, he dove into the shark tank, he hugged an electrified fence, he moonsaulted off a cliff, he unloaded the gun; however you wish to state it, we all saw what happened. It shook me to my very core to have to witness such a suicidal man finally pull the trigger; it is for that very reason that I offer to you this humble, earnest eulogy.
Drake Armstrong: Indeed, this was initially designed to be a medical update… however, I fear that the situation took a turn for the worst. :wow:
Drake Armstrong: The historic, legendary career of Mr. #10Reignz, the cornerstone of our industry, is as good as dead. Perhaps this mortifying news has caused the EAW Universe to tremor with anxiety; how can EAW possibly march onwards without the cornerstone? How can EAW exist without THE Karl Impact?
Drake Armstrong: My beloved subjects, allow me to offer you this calming message; you needn’t worry. Despite the sorrowful nature of this event, there exists a silver lining; nay, merely calling it a silver lining would understate its significance. This is more accurately compared to the rising of the sun after what seemed like an eternal night; EAW is, in fact, NOT bereft of a cornerstone!
Drake Armstrong: Silence those shocked gasps, for I tell you the truth! In fact, EAW never existed without one! Even with Karl Impact’s downfall, there coincided the rise of a NEW cornerstone of Elite Answers Wrestling; it is none other than the distinguished, esteemed, almighty King of Elite 2025 – the undisputed best King in the industry’s history – DRAKE ARMSTRONG!
(Drake Armstrong spread his arms out and basked in his own magnificence as the already-deafening boos multiplied in volume. Charles and the Armstrong Knights all clapped and bowed to the King of Elite, showing their reverence. Drake Armstrong turned towards the casket before raising his leg up and stomping his polished dress shoe on it.)
Drake Armstrong: Gah, I cannot do it; I tried to show the respect that many believe he ought to be shown… but the fact of the matter is that this was DESERVED! He DESERVED what he got for even having the AUDACITY to ambush his King from behind, let alone actually going through with the treasonous atrocity. Karl Impact coveted the spotlight that I was rightfully taking all for myself with my regal victory at King of Elite, and thus he fooled himself into believing he could attack me AND my butler! As such… I decided to take matters into my own hands.
(Drake Armstrong presented his palm to the hard cam, before curling his fingers and revealing the resplendence of the Armstrong Dynasty Ring.)
Drake Armstrong: Despite how it all went down, there is still a bright side for Impact; he was only embarrassed on WEEKLY programming rather than a true marquee event like Operation: Doomsday. By doing what I did last week, I acted as a generous King; I GIFTED Karl Impact with a less humiliating downfall. NOW, he is allowed to Rest In Pieces– pardon me, Rest In PEACE.
Drake Armstrong: That begs the question, though… if I am not going to wipe the canvas with Karl Impact’s face, then what AM I going to do at Operation: Doomsday? How will your hallowed King of Elite spend his time if he has no match? Perhaps I can simply sit it out… or better yet, I can simply take over and HOST the entire event, showing my face before and after each and every match and segment! THAT is a befitting fate for a King, MAXIMUM exposure! I am CERTAIN that my subjects would appreciate my presence imbuing the ENTIRETY of Operation: Doomsday with my magnificence!
(Naturally, the crowd boos.)
Drake Armstrong: Ahahaha! By all means, continue to shower me with your adoration!
(The crowd boos as loud as they possibly can as Drake Armstrong laughs in their faces, getting on top of the casket to bask in the noise even better… before suddenly–)

Stew-O: OH MY GOD, THAT’S KARL IMPACT! KARL IMPACT WAS IN THAT CASKET THE WHOLE TIME, AND HE JUST BURST OUT OF IT, CAUSING THE KING OF ELITE TO FALL OFF OF IT!
Flannery McCoy: IMPACT HAS A BANDAGE WRAPPED AROUND HIS HEAD, BUT THAT DOESN’T STOP HIM FROM LAUNCHING HIMSELF OUT OF THAT CASKET AND BATTERING A FALLEN DRAKE ARMSTRONG! HE JUST TOOK DRAKE ARMSTRONG’S RING AND ARMED HIMSELF WITH IT, USING IT TO BASH DRAKE’S HEAD IN!
Jake Mercer: THE KNIGHTS OF ARMSTRONG PULL IMPACT OFF… BUT HE’S PREPARED FOR THEM THIS TIME, LAUNCHING FIST OF FURY AFTER FIST OF FURY, KNOCKING THEM ALL OUT ONE BY ONE WITH THAT RING HE STOLE!
Stew-O: CHARLES STALKS IMPACT FROM BEHIND, AIMING TO TAKE HIM OUT YET AGAIN AND PERHAPS RE-OPENING THE WOUND THAT HE CREATED LAST WEEK… BUT IMPACT DUCKED UNDERNEATH IT THIS TIME, HAVING THE BUTLER SCOUTED!
Stew-O: EVISCERATION! EVISCERATION! IMPACT KNOCKS CHARLES OUT WITH HIS DEVASTATING FINISHING MANEUVER!
Flannery McCoy: DRAKE ARMSTRONG HAS HIS HEAD CLUTCHED IN PAIN AFTER GETTING A TASTE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE AS HE TRIES STAGGERING TO HIS FEET, BUT KARL IMPACT INTERCEPTS HIM! IMPACT SHUTS THE CASKET LID BACK DOWN AND DRAGS DRAKE ARMSTRONG ON TOP OF THE CASKET!
Jake Mercer: AND NOW HE GRABS A HOLD OF THE LEGS OF THE KING OF ELITE! WALLS OF IMPACT! WALLS OF IMPACT! THE DREADED WALLS OF IMPACT ARE LOCKED IN, AND DRAKE ARMSTRONG’S PAIN IS WRITTEN ALL OVER HIS FACE!
Stew-O: DRAKE ARMSTRONG IS CLAWING AT THE CASKET, TRYING TO ESCAPE THE HOLD, BUT IT’S NO USE; IMPACT HAS HIM RIGHT WHERE HE WANTS HIM, AND THERE’S NOWHERE TO GO! IS THIS WHAT WE’RE GOING TO SEE AT OPERATION: DOOMSDAY?!
Flannery McCoy: Karl Impact releases the legs of Drake Armstrong, with the King of Elite getting pushed off of the casket and rolling down to the canvas! Meanwhile, Impact reaches down and grabs the microphone that Drake was using before rising back to his feet and looking down at the King of Elite!
Karl Impact: Drake Armstrong… at Operation: Doomsday…
Karl Impact: I AM GOING TO KICK YOUR FAKE ROYAL ASS ALL OVER MY RING!
(The crowd cheers as the video feed lingers with Karl Impact standing tall atop the casket, with Drake Armstrong laid out in pain below him. The video feed fades to black.)
(A commercial plays for Operation: Doomsday, where Impact and Drake Armstrong settle to score for good!)
(Backstage, Kai Rabeaux is seen walking down the hall, immaculate ring gear on as he has his match against BRAE coming up shortly. However, it’s clear he’s headed towards a destination before the bout takes place. He comes up on a door and nods once his eyes scan over the lettering saying ‘Kensingten Calhoun-Astor & Richard Grant — Dynasty General Managers’. A cocky smirk soon graces his equally-arrogant visage.)
Kai Rabeaux: Already impressing the big wigs. This is what I’m talking about.
(His grin widens, and he gives the door three knocks, not abrasive but loud enough for those inside to hear.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: (inside) Come on in!
(With the permission granted, he steps in. Sure enough, Richard and Kensingten are on standby.)
Kai Rabeaux: Ah, what a lovely office this is. I just want to thank you again for the invite. I—
(However, his face turns sour once his eyes shift to the side, catching the sight of Jaylond Stone.)
Kai Rabeaux: Neveeeeeer anticipated seeing him here as well—
(And to the right, there was Allegra Costello.)
Kai Rabeaux: Or her.
Jaylond Stone: Hmph. Thought you were gonna get special treatment, huh?
Allegra Costello: We were all asked to be here, it seems.
(Kai opens his mouth to speak, but Richard perks up.
Richard Grant: Yes, that’s right! Kensi and I invited you three here to officially welcome you to Friday Night Dynasty! :blessed: !!
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Oh, it is always exciting whenever we get new people here! Of course, Kai and Jaylond, you faced each other last week—
Kai Rabeaux: And I won. :troll:
Jaylond Stone: :francis: I gave you your full credit, man, you don’t need to be a pompous ass, now.
Kai Rabeaux: Pompous? Hardly. I proved to be correct all along. You just decided to charge in fighting an uphill battle you were never going to win.
Jaylond Stone: Is that right?
(The tension is thick, but Allegra cuts in.)
Allegra Costello: The fighting can wait.
(Both men side-eye her, but they let out their respective sighs and settle down into their seats. Kensingten and Richard nod, pleased that things didn’t end messy.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Good! Now, we won’t take up much of your times cause we know you three have matches soon, especially you Jaylond, so we just wanna give you… these!
(That’s when Richard and Kensingten Calhoun-Astor hand goodie bags for them. The three look surprised but… an appreciative gesture is on their faces, touched by the thoughtful lengths they went to welcome them.)
Allegra Costello: Wow. Never anticipated this.
Kai Rabeaux: Yeah, me either.
Jaylond Stone: Gotta say, can’t remember the last time someone done treated me right like this.
(They look at the duo to see if it was alright to open them up. Richard and Kensingten nod. They open them…)
Jaylond Stone: … A discount at the Salvation Army? Do they really have these shits?
Richard Grant: They sure do! Might be perfect to find a more fitting ring gear for you, if you know what I mean!
Jaylond Stone: :jr:
Allegra Costello: And… this—it’s a box of hair dye?
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Yeah! For whenever you may get tired of the rainbow slop and want to do something less, well… loud!
(Allegra narrows her eyes, but Kai speaks up, confused as hell.)
Kai Rabeaux: A body care set? Well, it’s handy, but I already come with my own kit whenever I travel.
Richard Grant: Weelllll, it’s always good to have a spare! Especially since your people can definitely benefit from it!
Kai Rabeaux: I… don’t think I follow…
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: It’s just, you know.. people from New York have a nasty rep and all that jazz.
Kai Rabeaux: Ah.
(The three look down at the bags. Kensingten and Richard continue to smile.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Anyway, we won’t keep you for much longer! We hope you guys enjoy the gifts. Toodles! 👋
(Richard and Kensingten assist them out of the office, waving and smiling as fake as they can. The door closes, and from their perspectives… they laugh.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Oh, thank Heavens Jaylond and Kai can go in the ring. Their aesthetics are horrible!
Richard Grant: And that Allegra girl, god, thank God she isn’t from California or one of those ugly woke mob cities, but with that damn hair, you’d mistake her for one of them!
(On the other side, Kai, Allegra and Jaylond look at the gifts. Then, each other.)
(Nothing more needs to be said.)
(Shaking their heads in respective disgust, they toss the “gifts” into the nearest trash can and head off their separate ways, and Dynasty fades to a brief commercial.)
(A commercial plays for Operation: Doomsday, showcasing the fatal four-way bewteen Holly Arrow, Mia Santoro, Cosmo Goldworthy, and Corey Hale.)
(Back to ringside…)
Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Seen It All’ by Jeezy begins blaring through the speakers to cheers as Jaylond Stone storms out from behind the stage curtains and out to the center of the stage, head lowered; he slowly looks up and narrows his eyes at the squared circle before cracking his neck and beginning his march towards the ring, looking as determined as ever.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST! Hailing from Atlanta, GA, weighing in at 245 pounds… JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOND! STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!
Stew-O: Here comes one of EAW’s most recent New Breeds in Jaylond Stone! He and Kai, a fellow New Breed, had their debut match against one another one week ago where BOTH of them proved themselves to be real stars of the future with a tremendous performance both on the mic and in the ring!
Flannery McCoy: Jaylond Stone showed himself to be just as tough as his words made him out to be; unfortunately, Kai managed to get a victory by taking advantage of Jaylond’s shoelaces, but that loss can’t take away from the incredible fight that Jaylond Stone brought. This is a man who’s been through it all and has grown tough because of it; no nicknames, rejects the title of elitist, this man is a commoner and PROUD of it!
Jake Mercer: After proving himself the way he did in his debut match, he’s got an even bigger challenge in front of him this week as he’s going from facing a fellow debuting New Breed to a former tag team champion and upcoming competitor in the Iron Survivor Challenge match at Operation: Doomsday!
(‘Sinister Purpose’ by Creedence Clearwater Revival began blaring through the speakers to a loud positive reaction as Kirk Redwood stormed out onto the stage. He gave himself a couple of slaps to the face, invigorating himself through violence before he gave a visceral roar and began his march towards the squared circle.)
Stephie Love: AND HIS OPPONENT! Hailing from Boston, Massachusetts, weighing in at 210 pounds… he is ‘THE DOG OF WAR’, KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRK! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!
Stew-O: Both wrestlers heading into this match noted their similarities, and it’s hard not to notice; these two are tough, brutal competitors who have scratched, clawed, and struggled all their lives! Kirk took it in a negative direction, though, calling Jaylond a wannabe version of himself and is intent on proving it!
Flannery McCoy: Kirk has never been one to spare words and that much is clear; as he heads into the Iron Survivor Challenge match, he believes it’s essential to get this victory and acquire that momentum heading into the match.
Jake Mercer: We have a New Breed looking to kick his career off with a bang and a grizzled veteran looking to fulfill his labor of love for his family by getting that shot at the World Heavyweight Championship in one week’s time!
Stew-O: Only one of the two men will be able to walk out with the victory, though, and the other will be forced to continue the same struggle they’ve faced throughout their lives; which one will come out on top? There’s only way one to find out!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: And this match is underway! Both wrestlers slowly step out of their corners as they begin circling the ring, stalking each other, focused on every little movement as it occurs; no matter their education or upbringing, we can see them brimming with ring IQ and that they are intent and determined to bring home the win tonight!
Flannery McCoy: The ring veteran in Kirk Redwood is taking a more measured approach, though, while Jaylond Stone has a more aggressive stride as he looks to catch Kirk Redwood off guard!
Jake Mercer: As his stride suggested, Jaylond is the first to attempt a move as he launches himself out of the circle towards Kirk Redwood, attempting a forearm smash to the face; Kirk Redwood manages to duck underneath it, though, before immediately turning around and latching on a rear waist lock!
Stew-O: It looks like Kirk is going for a German suplex as Jaylond’s feet get lifted off the mat, but Stone immediately launches a back elbow, connecting with the side of Kirk’s head! Jaylond Stone managed to get the first strike in this match, preventing Kirk Redwood’s reversal from taking place!
Flannery McCoy: And now Jaylond Stone returns the favor as he performs a standing switch, bringing himself behind Kirk Redwood and applying a waist lock of his own as he tries to go for what Kirk Redwood was unable to!
Jake Mercer: The Dog of War can go strike for strike, though, as he matches Jaylond Stone’s energy with a back elbow of his own! He doesn’t stop there, though, as he repeatedly back elbows Jaylond Stone without any sign of stopping!
Stew-O: He walks back as he does so, forcefully pushing Jaylond back while Stone stubbornly keeps that waist lock hooked, trying to transition down to the ground with a rear waist lock takedown! Kirk Redwood managed to push him back enough to get Jaylond’s back against the ropes!
Flannery McCoy: That signals the referee to come and try to break things up, but he doesn’t even get a chance as Kirk Redwood forcefully tears Jaylond Stone’s arms off of his waist and turns himself around!
Jake Mercer: Kirk gets a front waist lock applied and yanks Jaylond Stone away from the ropes before arching himself back, PLANTING Jaylond Stone with a vicious Northern Lights Suplex! He’s got it bridged, too, causing the already approaching referee to drop to the canvas and begin counting!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Stew-O: But Jaylond Stone IMMEDIATELY kicks out! Kirk Redwood must’ve seen it coming, though, because he transitions from that kick out immediately into an attempt at an armbar; Jaylond Stone, however, absolutely REFUSES to relinquish that arm, keeping it away from the hold by gripping it with the other arm in spite of Kirk’s attempts!
Flannery McCoy: OH, and now Jaylond Stone uses Kirk’s attempted armbar against him, reversing it with a rollup pin!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Jake Mercer: This time, though, Kirk Redwood is the one to kick out of the pin! Jaylond Stone pushes Kirk Redwood forward the moment he kicks out, effectively forcing the Dog of War to do a backroll and end up near the ropes!
Stew-O: The moment Kirk Redwood completes the backroll and ends up on his knees, Jaylond Stone LUNGES FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH THAT VICIOUS FOREARM SMASH!
Flannery McCoy: Jaylond put all the force he could into that, and because of how close they were to the ropes after Kirk’s backroll, it ended up launching both of them out of the ring from underneath the bottom rope! Both wrestlers tumble out onto the ringside floor, and now this match has moved to the outside!
Jake Mercer: Jaylond Stone is the first to stagger up while Kirk Redwood is still reeling from that forearm smash to the head! He capitalizes on the dazed state of the Dog of War by dragging him up to his feet and IMMEDIATELY launching him face-first into the steel post!
Stew-O: Kirk Redwood’s head bounces off of it like a basketball, causing the Dog of War to stumble back… right into the arms of Jaylond Stone! Not only that, Jaylond Stone catches Kirk stumbling back with a rear waist lock; neither wrestler managed to execute the move, but I don’t think Kirk Redwood is going to be able to avoid what’s coming here!
Flannery McCoy: RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX! Jaylond Stone HURLS Kirk Redwood backwards, causing the Dog of War to collide with the barricade; despite being a New Breed, Jaylond Stone is showing some impressive ring IQ by making use of his environment against the more seasoned veteran!
Jake Mercer: Now he’s measuring Kirk Redwood up as the Dog of War shakes his head, getting himself out of that dazed state that Jaylond Stone sent him into! Kirk Redwood grabs onto the ledge of the barricade as he pulls himself up to a standing position, prompting Jaylond Stone to jump into action!
Stew-O: Jaylond Stone makes a break for the Dog of War before launching his leg up, looking to connect with a BIG BOOT while Kirk Redwood’s back is to the barricade! IT’S TO NO AVAIL, THOUGH, AS KIRK REDWOOD HAD IT SCOUTED AND MANAGED TO DUCK!
Flannery McCoy: THE BIG BOOT MISSES, CAUSING JAYLOND TO STUMBLE OVER THE BARRICADE AND FALL OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE! The front row fans quickly move out of the way, not wanting to get caught in the crossfire of this match!
Jake Mercer: Jaylond Stone staggers up on the other side of the barricade after having fallen over, but he gets no chance to truly recuperate as he immediately gets caught in the clutches of the Dog of War, who wastes no time in capitalizing on the opportunity that presented itself!
Stew-O: That’s right, Kirk Redwood reached over the barricade before Jaylond Stone had a moment to react and latched on a GUILLOTINE CHOKE HOLD! THE OXYGEN IS BEING SAPPED FROM THE BRAIN OF JAYLOND STONE AS WE SPEAK!
Flannery McCoy: Kirk Redwood uses the Guillotine Choke Hold to pull Jaylond Stone over the barricade and back to ringside; meanwhile, Stone is doing everything he can to get out of it! Flailing, wrenching at Kirk’s arms, launching strikes at the body of the Dog of War, all of it, the whole nine yards!
Jake Mercer: Kirk Redwood is as tough as they come, though, and he’s tanking the shots while keeping that guillotine choke locked in, trying to do as much damage as he possibly can! But Jaylond Stone is RELENTLESS, and even with the oxygen being drained from him, he isn’t stopping with those punches to the rib cage!
Stew-O: Even someone as gritty and tough as Kirk Redwood has to get himself out of that position at some point, and he is forced to release the guillotine choke hold! Jaylond Stone coughs and sputters as he staggers back, while the Dog of War clutches his rib cage in pain! These two men are destroying each other tonight!
Flannery McCoy: Jaylond Stone fights through the pain he’s in as he launches A SIGNATURE BURNING LARIAT TOWARDS THE HEAD OF KIRK REDWOOD! KIRK REDWOOD MANAGED TO EVADE IT, THOUGH, DESPITE THE PAIN THAT HE’S IN AS WELL!
Jake Mercer: He ducks right at the nick of time, turning around just a moment before Jaylond Stone did the same– HEADBUTT! Kirk Redwood just executed a headbutt to Jaylond Stone, forcing him to stagger back in pain! And now the Dog of War tackles Jaylond against the apron, causing Stone’s back to arch in pain!
Stew-O: He won’t be able to win this match outside, though, and he knows that; Jaylond just took some hellish offense from the gritty Dog of War and is dazed, leading to Kirk Redwood forcefully rolling him back into the ring from underneath the bottom rope!
Flannery McCoy: Kirk takes a moment to recuperate outside, still nursing his midsection after taking so many repeated and vicious shots to the rib cage, before following Jaylond Stone back into the ring!
Jake Mercer: That brief recuperation time was enough to let Jaylond Stone begin to stagger to his feet, but Kirk Redwood is determined to cut Jaylond’s chances off at every corner! Jaylond just manages to make it back to his feet before Kirk comes in from below and grabs both of his legs!
Stew-O: Kirk yanks as hard as he can, bringing this match down to the canvas with a double leg takedown! He follows up by swiftly making his way on top of Jaylond Stone in a mounted position before raining down on the New Breed with elbow smashes and hammer fists to the jaw and head!
Flannery McCoy: This is PEAK Kirk Redwood right here, showing his fellow competitors in the Iron Survivor Challenge match just why he is so much of a threat! He may be heading in there with huge names like Cy Henderson, Chris Elite, and Drake King, but Kirk Redwood is a veteran and former champion in his own right, and he’s showing the world just what he brings to the table! Brutal, savage, violent offense with no flourish!
Jake Mercer: Jaylond Stone doesn’t give up here, though, as he begins launching strikes BACK towards Kirk Redwood, even from the disadvantageous position of having a mounted opponent! He’s a real glutton for pain, taking more shots from Kirk Redwood but still sending receipts!
Stew-O: Jaylond has only had one match thus far but he’s showing that his rough upbringing has forged a WARRIOR out of him! Not willing to give up no matter what! As a matter of fact, he just got out of that precarious position by launching Kirk Redwood over head with a monkey flip!
Flannery McCoy: That monkey flip causes Kirk Redwood to land on the canvas and arch his back in pain, but it doesn’t keep the relentless Dog of War down for too long! Kirk almost immediately starts trying to stagger back to his feet, with Jaylond Stone following suit, still feeling dazed from the impact of all those strikes to the head!
Jake Mercer: Kirk Redwood takes a swing at the head of Jaylond Stone, but Jaylond ducks underneath and turns around to deliver a boot to the damaged midsection of Kirk Redwood! That immediately causes the Dog of War to double over in pain, and Jaylond is keen to take advantage!
Stew-O: Jaylond tucks Kirk Redwood’s head between his quads before reaching down and hoisting Kirk Redwood up onto his shoulders– I think Jaylond may be going for a powerbomb here! HE GOES FOR IT–
Flannery McCoy: But Kirk Redwood manages to escape, pushing himself over the head of Jaylond Stone and landing in a standing position behind him! Before Jaylond Stone even has the opportunity to turn around, he gets his wrist clutched from behind– OH GOD!
Jake Mercer: KIRK REDWOOD IS GOING FOR THE BASTARDPLEX, HIS SIGNATURE WRIST CLUTCH BACK SUPLEX! BUT WAIT, JAYLOND STONE HAS BEEN DOING HIS HOMEWORK, BECAUSE HE WAS ABLE TO FLIP HIMSELF OVER THE HEAD OF KIRK REDWOOD, LANDING BEHIND HIM!
Stew-O: KIRK STILL HAS THAT WRIST CLUTCHED, BUT IT COMES BACK TO BITE HIM AS JAYLOND USES THE CLUTCH TO YANK THE DOG OF WAR RIGHT INTO A BURNING LARIAT! JAYLOND STONE’S SIGNATURE BURNING LARIAT CONNECTS, AND JAYLOND IMMEDIATELY DROPS DOWN AND HOOKS BOTH LEGS OFF OF THAT, GOING FOR THE PIN HERE!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THR-
Flannery McCoy: BUT KIRK REDWOOD KICKED OUT OF IT! JAYLOND STONE IS STUNNED, SLAMMING HIS FISTS INTO THE CANVAS IN FRUSTRATION! IT LOOKS LIKE THE RESILIENCE OF THE DOG OF WAR IS STARTING TO GET TO THE NEW BREED AS HE’S LETTING HIS ANGER TAKE OVER!
Jake Mercer: But Jaylond Stone isn’t looking to stop here, he’s dead set on putting Kirk Redwood down and getting all the momentum that beating a former champion would yield him!
Stew-O: WITH GRITTED TEETH, JAYLOND STONE MEASURES KIRK REDWOOD UP! EVENTUALLY, KIRK DOES STAGGER UP, BUT THE MOMENT HE GETS TO HIS FEET, HE’S PULLED INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY POSITION BY JAYLOND STONE!
Flannery McCoy: WE KNOW WHAT’S COMING HERE! JAYLOND STONE LOOKS TO FINISH IT, GOING FOR CASE CLOSED, HIS FINISHING DEATH VALLEY DRIVER MANEUVER!
Jake Mercer: BUT HE ENDS UP RECEIVING A TON OF SIDE ELBOW SMASHES BY A DESPERATE KIRK REDWOOD, WHO MAY NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD TAKING A MOVE THAT DEVASTATING!
Stew-O: JAYLOND WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE MANEUVER AS KIRK REDWOOD SCRAMBLES OUT OF THE FIREMAN’S CARRY POSITION! JAYLOND TAKES ANOTHER ELBOW SMASH TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD BY KIRK FOR GOOD MEASURE AS THE DOG OF WAR SPEEDS PAST JAYLOND AND GOES TOWARDS THE ROPES!
Flannery McCoy: THOSE SHOTS ALL PUT JAYLOND INTO A DAZED POSITION AS HE STAGGERS FORWARD, TRYING TO GET IN ANOTHER SHOT AT KIRK, BUT KIRK WASN’T GOING FOR JAYLOND, HE WAS HEADING FOR THOSE ROPES!
Jake Mercer: HE LEAPS ONTO THE MIDDLE ROPE AND SPRINGBOARDS OFF OF IT, SENDING HIMSELF LIKE A MISSILE TOWARDS JAYLOND STONE! KIRK TWISTS HIMSELF MID-AIR TO FACE JAYLOND BEFORE LAUNCHING HIS FIST FORWARD!
Stew-O: .50 CAL! .50 CAL CONNECTS RIGHT TO THE JAW OF JAYLOND STONE, KNOCKING HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A THUD, AND KIRK REDWOOD LANDED RIGHT ON TOP OF THE NEW BREED AFTER THAT .50 CAL CONNECTED!
Flannery McCoy: THE DOG OF WAR HOOKS THE LEGS, GOING FOR THE PIN!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(‘Sinister Purpose’ by Creedence Clearwater Revival begins blaring through the speakers yet again to loud cheers as Kirk Redwood slowly rolls off of Jaylond Stone after the sound of theme song began reverberating. He slowly staggered to his feet and had his hand raised in victory by the referee.)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… THE DOG OF WAR, KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRK! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!
Stew-O: Another tremendous performance by both wrestlers tonight! Jaylond Stone may just be a New Breed, but by giving a former tag team champion and imminent Iron Survivor Challenge competitor Kirk Redwood the vicious match that he did, he showed himself to be a true standout New Breed!
Flannery McCoy: Kudos to Kirk Redwood on the victory, though, earning him some more momentum as he heads into one of the biggest matches of his life! A world championship opportunity will be on the line for the Dog of War next week at Operation: Doomsday, and if he gets his hand raised at the end of the match as he did here, we may see the Dog of War go on to secure his first singles championship… with a WORLD championship, at that!
Jake Mercer: He’ll be competing against some very dangerous and very determined wrestlers, but Kirk Redwood has shown us time and time again that when the world counts him out, he manages to come back and shock us all! Tune in to Operation: Doomsday to see what happens!
(The video feed lingers on Kirk Redwood’s celebration as Jaylond Stone returns to consciousness, rubbing his head and looking on in disappointment, before the feed fades to black.)
(We go to the backstage area as Brian Daniels himself can be seen traversing through the area, before suddenly someone would be heard in the distance…)
Vincent Mondrian: HEY!
(The voice of Vincent Mondrian loudly proclaimed after Brian Daniels, which caused him to spin around. Vincent Mondrian got in his face, as you could see the blistering anger already. Brian was calm and poised however, he didn’t really get on his back foot, he knows what this is like.)
Vincent Mondrian: You should already know why, and what I am here for. This is not going to work for me first and foremost, I am not going to stand around here and allow you to get involved within matches, being in my way and costing me! Now look, you may want to go ahead and say that we are “even”, because of what I did in your match against Hans, but I don’t see it that way. I am bitter, and if you want that honest raw emotion, I am angry. But you are only sawing yourself in half even more than you already once were prior, Brian. You are just waking the beast inside me up, and that might be what you want. But realistically? You won’t want this, you are only motivating me even more to beat you.
(Brian Daniels was a bit thrown abroad, raising an eyebrow as he looked at him.. he crossed his arms as he took a step, creating a little bit of distance so he could speak..)
Brian Daniels: You know, I do find it rather funny, I am making my way around here, when all of sudden you proceed to come over here and start talking with too much audacity. I don’t know what it is, maybe it is your youth, but there is something bold about your decision making that, if you aren’t careful? Is going to get you severely hurt in your future. It’s okay to be bold, but you are doing too much. Remember this for a moment, Vince. You were the one that got in my face and decided to have a conversation with me outside the ring. People that are older than you, don’t fall for that mistake.
Vincent Mondrian: Are you gonna sit here and go on, trying to target me about my youth..? I don’t think you get it, buddy. But I am not new to this game, I have been in EAW for almost a year now, I have been champion more recent than you have, to paint a picture for just a moment. Before you talk to me like that again, remember specifically who it is that you are talking with. In an attempt to paint me as “little brother” you are suffocating in the fact that I am something in EAW. I am not just meaningless trash in need of personal guidance, I know what it is that I am doing, and I know what I wanna get done. So stop painting me as some dumb rookie, I am in my own position of power. I know what I am doing, and I have used it to the best of my abilities. I have gotten things done on my own terms, and straight up — I have gone for it, when I needed to the most. I am not some slouch, and don’t ever put me in that ballpark.
(Brian felt as if whatever he said would not get through to Vincent. He just nodded his head, in a way that was kind of shady.)
Brian Daniels: You can say that to me, but I have done a whole lot more than you in this game. And let’s not get too overzealous, Vincent. People that know what they’re doing, don’t purposely distract themselves, people that love this game keep focus! You did not keep focus, you floundered. So guess what..? How do I personally feel, I feel like you are immature. I don’t see you having that instinct others have, there is a level of maturity that you lack. Because you would have not fallen to your own demise if it weren’t for delusion. And it’s a shame, because don’t get me wrong. I am being constructive about your criticism here, you possess a level of talent! There is genuinely something there, and I believe that. Firmly, take it from me, even if you don’t wanna listen to my words. But you want to carry on with all this foolishness, acting like a victim when you weren’t in the first place, and that is where my problems stem. That is where my issues concur, and that personally? Is just where I have all these problems. You are looking less like an Elitist that has been a champion and got things done, and more like a spoiled brat who has no idea.
(Vincent was pissed. The pure emotion in his face stepped out, he looked at Brian Daniels stepping closer, as he just shook his head in pure denial.)
Vincent Mondrian: Spoiled brat…? You don’t get it, and you never will, Brian. I am going to put you down like the Old Yeller that you are, after what you did last week.
(Vincent said with a threatening gaze, he was speaking purely out of emotion, as not a single thought or focus broke. Brian however? He didn’t flinch, he just nodded his head.)
Brian Daniels: Try me.
(SUDDENLY VINCENT MONDRIAN DID EXACTLY THAT, AS HE TACKLED BRIAN DANIELS! The unhinged Vincent Mondrian was not taking any chances, as him and Daniels were shuffling around on the floor.)
Security Guard: Hey!
(There was quick response to the commotion, as Vincent Mondrian and Brian Daniels were almost immediately pulled off one another.)
Vincent Mondrian: I will try you, and I’ll end you!
(Whilst being held back, Vincent shouted towards Brian in a feral manner. But Daniels didn’t say anything he just looked at Vincent shaking his head, with his poor response to criticism, Daniels couldn’t really think of what else to say. As security held both men off, Dynasty would fade out and go elsewhere.)
(‘Post Mortem’ by Slayer begins to play through the speakers of the CFG Arena. The crowd has no idea how to respond, so the reaction is kind of mixed. Allegra Costello comes out from the back, poses on the ramp before looking at the packed house. She makes her way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM VENICE, ITALY…SHE IS ‘II MALE STESSO’…ALLEGRA COSTELLO!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: The debuting Allegra Costello is making her way to the ring. Now, the word on the street is that this woman is as calculating as they come. She learned all she knew from a common criminal in Italy. The manipulation and emotional deception is something that she has down to a tee, Flannery. A woman who will stop at nothing to get what she rightfully wants.
Stew-O: A woman who grew up with nothing in Venice. Of course, she needed to learn some of these traits to get what she wants. In her heart, she had no other option. Now, will some of these traits be useful in getting her to the top of Dynasty?
Flannery McCoy: I’m looking to see if she can back it up inside the squared circle. She has this platform. Now, she needs to impress people and back up that confidence that she has. Although, she’s going up against someone who loves the spotlight and wants it for herself.
(‘Notorious’ by UPSAHL plays as the crowd gives a nice reaction for Mia Santoro. Mia comes out, soaking in the spotlight and posing on top of the ramp. She begins to make her way down the ramp, talking her shit and hyping herself up.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING HER OPPONENT…FROM KEY WEST, FLORIDA..SHE IS ‘LA DESPERADA’…MIA SANTORO!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Here’s one out of the four Elitists who will be in the fatal-4-way match at Operation: Doomsday! She’ll be stepping into the ring with Holly Arrow, Cosmo Goldworthy and Corey Hale! I expect nothing more than a highly competitive match next Saturday!
Stew-O: I can assure you that those three other Elitists are observing this match from various locations, scouting the competition! Mia Santoro knows that she needs to pick up the victory here. I think Mia believes that she should pick up the victory here, but Allegra Costello looks to create an upset tonight!
Flannery McCoy: Mia Santoro looks to make an example out of Allegra Costello! Now, I don’t think that Allegra will want to embarrass herself in a big state, so it should be interesting to see how things go down! Both are confident in themselves! They love the spotlight! They would love nothing more than to win here tonight! Let’s see how it goes down!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Jake Mercer: RIGHT AWAY, WE SEE ALLEGRA COSTELLO GOING RIGHT AFTER MIA SANTORO WITH LEFT AND RIGHTS TO THE FACE! BUT, MIA MANAGES TO PUSH AWAY THE NEWCOMER! ALLEGRA DOESN’T STAY AWAY FOR TOO LONG AS SHE SPEARS MIA TO THE MAT! SHE BEGINS TO CONNECT WITH EVEN MORE LEFT AND RIGHT PUNCHES TO THE FACE! ALLEGRA MANAGES TO GRAB MIA WITH A FISTFULL OF HAIR BEFORE THROWING HER BACK TO THE CORNER!
Stew-O: BUT, MIA SANTORO THROWS A PUNCH TO THE FOREHEAD OF ALLEGRA COSTELLO! THAT MANAGES TO KNOCK ALLEGRA BACK! THEN, ANOTHER PUNCH! AND, ANOTHER PUNCH! MIA MANAGES TO GET HERSELF OUT OF THE CORNER! She follows that with a knee to the gut of Allegra before Mia turns Allegra and connects with a neckbreaker as that sends the newcomer to the ground! Then, Mia begins to apply a side headlock as she scoots around and manages to get to a knee! Still, she maintains possession of that headlock on Allegra! Mia wrenches in the headlock, applying more pressure onto the hold! Then, Mia runs to the ropes in front of her, rebounds off of them, but Allegra drops to a plank position! Mia jumps over Allegra, runs to the set of ropes across from her, rebounds off of them as Allegra leapfrogs over Mia! Mia runs past her as well!
Flannery McCoy: Allegra Costello turns herself around as Mia Santoro looks for a superkick as that causes Allegra to stumble forward! Mia hooks Allegra by one of her arms before connecting with a hip toss! But, Allegra manages to land on her feet! She counters with a casadora as Mia is sent flying across the ring! But, Mia manages to slide on her feet for the landing! She stares right at Allegra, who is charging right at Mia and connects with a bicycle kick! BUT, MIA MANAGES TO DUCK OUT OF THE WAY! SHE GETS ALLEGRA UP IN A CRUCIFIX KIND OF SWOOP BEFORE PLACING HER ON HER SHOULDER! MIA HAS HER EYES ON ONE OF THE CORNERS AS SHE LOOKS TO THROW ALLEGRA TO THE CORNER LIKE A LAWN DART!
Jake Mercer: BUT, ALLEGRA COSTELLO MANAGES TO SLIDE OUT OF MIA SANTORO’S SHOULDER! SHE MANAGES TO PUSH MIA TO THE TURNBUCKLE INSTEAD! MIA COLLIDES WITH THE TURNBUCKLE AS ALLEGRA MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH A CRUCIFIX INTO A ROLL UP!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TT–
Stew-O: Mia Santoro with a kick out! Mia manages to roll herself back and to her knees! She rolls Allegra Costello through as Mia places Allegra on one shoulder before connecting with that lawn dart that she wanted to connect with earlier! Allegra collapses down while clutching to her face as she falls right towards Mia who picks her up and takes her back with a German suplex! Mia gets Allegra from the mat before getting her by the arm, whipping her to one of the corners! Mia runs right towards Allegra with a meteora to the face! That causes Allegra to stumble forward as Mia connects with a dropkick that sends her back to the corner!
Flannery McCoy: Mia Santoro begins to stomp on the downed body of Allegra Costello! She places her foot on the face of Allegra, pressing on it!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! STEP AWAY, MIA!
Jake Mercer: Mia Santoro has her hands up where the referee can see them! Meanwhile, Allegra Costello manages to get herself back to her feet! She begins to get herself out of the corner, but Mia manages to catch her and takes her down with a pendulum backbreaker! Mia rises to her feet as she stalks Allegra back to her feet! At the first sign of Allegra getting to her feet, MIA CONNECTS WITH A ROLLING WHEEL KICK – ‘KILLING MOON’ CONNECTS AS THAT SENDS ALLEGRA BACK! THEN, MIA PICKS UP ALLEGRA! I THINK THAT SHE’S LOOKING FOR ‘SAFE PASSAGE’ – HER VIBRATION OF THE GUTWRENCH BACKSTABBER!
Stew-O: But, Allegra Costello manages to push Mia Santoro out of the way! She rolls herself out of the ring! I think that was smart for the newcomer to do! Enough to buy herself a bit more time! But, Mia doesn’t seem to like that! She looks to exit the ring through the bottom rope! BUT, ALLEGRA MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH A FOREARM SMASH AS THAT DROPS MIA IN HER TRACKS! THIS CAUSES MIA TO DROP DOWN ON THE APRON! BUT, ALLEGRA MANAGES TO GRAB MIA IN A FRONT HEADLOCK, PULLING HER INTO POSITION! MIA’S FEET ARE DANGLING ON THE APRON AS – AN ELEVATED DDT ON THE APRON! THIS DROPS MIA ON THE TOP OF HER HEAD!
Flannery MCCOY: THAT LOOKED BRUTAL THERE! ALLEGRA COSTELLO MANAGES TO GRAB MIA SANTORO BY THE BACK OF HER HEAD BEFORE THROWING HER TO THE STEEL STEPS! MIA’S BODY COLLIDES WITH THE STEEL STEPS! BUT, ALLEGRA IS NOT DONE! SHE CHARGES RIGHT AT ‘LA DESPERADA’ WITH A KNEE STRIKE TO THE SKULL! That must have taken Mia out! Allegra rolls herself back inside the ring to break the referee’s count! Then, she rolls back out and looks to resume her punishment on Mia! Allegra manages to grab Mia by her hair before slamming her back against those steel steps! Allegra is looking right at Mia’s face! Allegra gets Mia onto the apron! Allegra joins the other woman on the apron! Now, I’m not sure what Allegra is looking to do here! But, she gets Mia into a powerbomb position!
Jake Mercer: BUT, MIA SANTORO MANAGES TO SHOVE ALLEGRA COSTELLO AWAY FROM HER! ALLEGRA GOES RIGHT AFTER HER, BUT MIA LOOKS TO CONNECT WITH A SUPERKICK! BUT, ALLEGRA MANAGES TO CATCH MIA BY THE LEG! She connects with a knee breaker as that causes Mia to collapse down! She is clutching that knee right now, but Allegra manages to get Mia onto a fireman’s carry position! I think that we’re going to be seeing one of her signature moves being executed! She likes to call this one ‘New Ideas In Mathmatics’ – a fireman’s carry into a knee drop! BUT, MIA MANAGES TO SLIDE OUT OF POSITION AS SHE MANAGES TO SHOVE ALLEGRA ONTO THE STEEL RING POST! BUT, ALLEGRA MANAGES TO CATCH HERSELF BEFORE HER SKULL COULD COLLIDE WITH THAT RING POST! MIA GOES RIGHT AFTER HER AS ALLEGRA TAKES MIA BACK WITH A SUPERKICK! MIA COLLAPSES TO A KNEE BEFORE ALLEGRA GETS MIA INTO POSITION AND CONNECTS WITH A FISHERMAN’S BUSTER ON THE APRON!
Stew-O: Allegra Costello manages to roll Mia Santoro back inside the ring! Allegra rushes for the cover, hoping that it will be enough to put down Mia!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Mia Santoro with a kick out! Allegra Costello tries to remain focused! She looks at the top turnbuckle as she begins to make her way up it! High risk, high reward at this stage of the match up! She turns her back to Mia! I think that she may be going for some moonsault here!
Jake Mercer: ‘JIGSAW FALLING INTO PLACE’ – A BEAUTIFUL MOONSAULT DIVING FOOT STOMP AS MIA SANTORO’S RIBS GET SQUISHED BY ALLEGRA COSTELLO’S BOOTS! INSTEAD OF GOING FOR THE COVER THERE, ALLEGRA KNOWS THAT IT’S TIME TO END THIS MATCH! She knows that this could be her shot at putting away Mia! She begins to make her way back to the horizontal set of ropes! She is waiting for Mia to rise back to her feet! But, Mia is clutching her ribs in pain! That foot stomp did not look pleasant at all, Flann and Stew! She could be seriously hurt here! Still, she tries to pick herself up from the mat!
Stew-O: Allegra Costello Charges Right After Mia Santoro – ‘unlucky 13!’ That’s Allegra’s Variation Of The Front Flip Into A Backstabber! No! Mia Manages To Catch Her Before Allegra Could Front Flip Herself And Connect With The Backstabber! A Belly-To-Back Piledriver Connects Instead As Mia Has Allegra For The Pin Fall Attempt Instead!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Allegra Costello with a kick out! Mia Santoro races to her feet! Allegra follows suit shortly after! Mia connects with a superkick! That takes Allegra back! Then, Mia follows that up with a roundhouse kick as that takes Allegra down! ‘Two For The Road’ is what Mia likes to call that combination! She manages to get Allegra in a front headlock! Mia springboards herself off the ropes and goes around! She connects with a tornado DDT that takes Allegra down! Allegra seems to be a bit dizzy at the moment! She picks herself up to her feet as Mia charges right after the newcomer and nails a forearm smash to the face! Allegra drops down to a knee! BUT, MIA HAS POSSESSION OF ALLEGRA’S ARM! MIA PULLS IN ALLEGRA WITH A SHORT ARMED CLOTHESLINE! BUT, ALLEGRA DUCKS THE CLOTHESLINE AT THE LAST SECOND! SHE MANAGES TO SEND HERSELF FORWARD WITH A SCORPION KICK AS MIA STUMBLES BACK!
Jake Mercer: Allegra Costello charges forward and looks for a bicycle knee strike to the skull of Mia Santoro! This drops Mia down to one knee as Allegra pulls her in with a fisherman’s suplex! NO! MIA DROPS RIGHT BEHIND ALLEGRA! SHE MANAGES TO HOOK ALLEGRA FROM HER ARMS IN A BACK-TO-BACK POSITION AS MIA LOOKS TO CONNECT WITH A BACKSLIDE PIN! BUT, ALLEGRA MANAGES TO GET HERSELF OUT OF THE BACKSLIDE PIN! SHE GETS MIA’S ARMS HOOKED BEFORE LIFTING HER UP AND TAKING HER BACK WITH A BUTTERFLY SUPLEX!
Stew-O: Allegra Costello runs right after Mia Santoro with a penalty kick to the spine of Mia! But Mia manages to side step at the last second! She manages to trip the foot of Allegra as she sends the newcomer crashing in front of her! Allegra’s face collides with the mat as she finds herself in a crawling position! BUT, MIA MANAGES TO TRAP ALLEGRA IN A CRUCIFIX ARMBAR! MIA HAS ALLEGRA TRAPPED IN THE CRUCIFIX ARM BAR! ‘ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE’ IS WHAT SHE LIKES TO CALL THAT MOVE!
Flannery McCoy: IT SEEMS LIKE IT CAUGHT ALLEGRA COSTELLO BY SURPRISE! I DON’T THINK THAT SHE WAS EXPECTING FOR MIA SANTORO TO PULL OUT THAT SUBMISSION HOLD! ALLEGRA FINDS HERSELF IN A BIT OF TROUBLE! MIA’S LEGS HAVE TRAPPED ALLEGRA’S RIGHT ARM! MEANWHILE, MIA HAS ALLEGRA’S LEFT ARM TRAPPED WITH HER OWN ARM! ALLEGRA IS TRYING TO FIND HERSELF OUT OF THE HOLD! SHE IS TRYING TO ROCK HERSELF LEFT-TO-RIGHT! BUT, I THINK THAT MIA HAS HER TRAPPED! MIA IS SQUEEZING IN THAT SUBMISSION HOLD EVEN MORE, ADDING MORE PRESSURE TO THE HOLD! ALLEGRA IS IN A WORLD OF PAIN!
Jake Mercer: ALLEGRA COSTELLO TAPS OUT! SHE LIVES TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Notorious’ plays once more as Mia Santoro releases the submission move from Allegra Costello. Allegra moves away from Mia, clutching onto her right shoulder. Mia rises to her feet as the referee raises her hand in victory, declaring her the winner.)
Stephie Love: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH…MIA SANTORO!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Mia Santoro picks up the victory over the debuting Allegra Costello! Perfect momentum as she goes into the fatal-4-way match at Operation: Doomsday!
Flannery McCoy: A great showing from Allegra Costello! We have some promise in this young woman! More than definitely, this is something that we ought to keep a good look at in the upcoming weeks!
(The camera pans to Holly Arrow, who was more than observing the match through the flat screen backstage. She shakes her head, rolls her eyes and walks away. Then, at a clear distance in the hallway, we see Cosmo Goldworthy and Corey Hale who have begun arguing with each other. The audio does not pick it up, so we’re left in mystery about what’s exactly being said. But, by the look on Cosmo’s face, he’s upset.)
Jake Mercer: Well, things are most definitely heating up with the fatal-4-way at Operation: Doomsday! You got Holly and Mia who are more than ready to go at each other’s throats! The same thing with Cosmo and Corey! With tension, there’s the likeness that this match is going to be a banger for sure! Will it be Holly Arrow, Cosmo Goldworthy, Corey Hale or Mia Santoro who will leave Boston with the win? We’ll find that out next Saturday at Operation: Doomsday!
(A commercial plays for Benihana’s, featuring Milli Banks and Jake Smith.)
(‘I2I’ by Magnolia Park begins to blast through the speakers of the CFG Arena. The crowd pops for Fire & Ice, who come out and survey the crowd around them. They make their way down the ramp, tagging the hands of the EAW fans in the front row on their way out.)
Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…PLEASE WELCOME AT THIS TIME…REX MCALLISTER…RAVEN ROBERTS…FIRE & ICE!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Fire & Ice are out here to make things ‘official’ with Saori Aizen and Daniella Atlas for Operation: Doomsday. Fire & Ice told Daniella to find a partner and face them in tag team action and Daniella happened to find one in Saori.
Flannery McCoy: Now, I don’t think that it’s the partner that Daniella Atlas was intending, but with someone as talented as Saori Aizen, she is not going to deny a partner. I mean, who else was going to step up and be Daniella’s partner?
Jake Mercer: That’s true. But, Saori Aizen is known as a ‘wild card’ around here. Is her intentions for being Daniella Atlas’ partner genuine or are the wheels turning in the back of her head?
Stew-O: I can assume that there’s still a bit of hesitancy with Daniella Atlas when it comes to Saori Aizen, but I’m interested to see what Fire & Ice have to say about the whole ordeal!
(‘I21’ dies down. The crowd’s love for Fire & Ice have not. Rex McAllister gets a microphone for him and Raven Roberts. The two of them soak up the reception from the crowd.)
Rex McAllister: Thank you, Baltimore! We appreciate the love here!
(The crowd applauds Fire & Ice once more.)
Raven Roberts: We always appreciate the support here! But, let’s get to the big elephant in the room. Now, Rex can back me up on how I have been feeling these past few weeks when it comes to Daniella Atlas. I figured that I would be able to stop Daniella from flapping her bum gums by defeating her. If anything, I had no idea how much longer I could have tolerated her talking about how great she is. After all, she does that a lot! I figured that I would end up defeating her and maybe – just maybe – give her a sense of humility, but it was the involvement of Saori Aizen that prevented that from happening. Originally, I had no idea why Saori Aizen decided to make her presence felt in my match. Maybe she was here to watch the competition? Maybe, she was looking to decide who she wanted to piss off next? If that was the case, that ended up being me.That annoyed me to no end because Saori had no purpose for being out there. For a slight second, it allowed me to take my eyes off the prize and it cost me the match. In the aftermath, I was tempted just to beat the crap out of those two. But, Rex, being as cool as ice as he is, insisted that we wait it out and see if they were truly forming an alliance and sure enough, they were.
Rex McAllister: My assumptions were more than accurate. Still, we do pick up on Daniella’s initial hesitancy towards Saori and whether Saori can be trusted. It’s understandable. Saori Aizen has created a bit of a reputation in the locker room. She’s created quite a bit of enemies. She’s stabbed an Elitist or two in the back in order to further her agenda. Even though they were able to get the better of Mia Santoro and Holly Arrow last week, that doesn’t mean that everything is going to be peaches and cream for them seeing as how they still had issues. Daniella still has her hesitancy with Saori. Meanwhile, Saori is seen as a bit of a wildcard. You never know what you’re going to get with her. I’m not sure about you, Raven, but that’s not a great combination when it comes to forming a tag team. With us literally being a week from Operation: Doomsday, we doubt if they will be on the same page.
Raven Roberts: It’s such a shame.It doesn’t help that Saori wants to stick her nose into this whole business the way she has, but hey! We wanted Daniella to find a partner and she got one! So that means that Daniella’s snot-nosed self can get put in her place right next to her new buddy –
???: I’m sorry, but if there is going to be anyone getting put in their place, it’s you and your husband in the retirement home.
(The crowd begins to boo as Daniella Atlas and Saori Aizen come out. They already have microphones in their hands. Daniella has a shit-eating grin on her face. Meanwhile, Saori forms a mean girl-like smirk on her face.)
Saori Aizen: Damare, baka! You stupid, stupid bitch! You and your husband! You are STILL on about a match that happened two weeks ago?
Raven Roberts: Well, yeah, when a match you were going to win gets robbed from you, a lot of people are going to be mad.
Daniella Atlas: Robbed? Let’s be realistic, Raven. Neither you or Rex have the capability of putting me down.
Saori Aizen: You were no match for ‘The Black Flame,’ Raven. Just like Holly Arrow and Mia Santoro were no match for Daniella Atlas. Just like you won’t be a match for me at Operation: Doomsday. It’s rather pitiful that Daniella needed to deal with the two of you. At least, she has me to help her out now. The two of you who have no idea when to call it quits. This company doesn’t need you two. It’s thanks to you why my career has gone stagnant. It’s not only the flavor of the months that come in that do that, but veterans like you who have been going on a downhill trajectory for a while now. A woman with my talents and my capabilities should be on the top of the card. A woman with the talent and capabilities of Daniella Atlas should be able to dominate whatever scene she desires. Now, the two of us together? We can be such an indestructible force together. If we can put our differences aside and focus on our strengths, there is going to be no one that stops us from accomplishing the goals that we have. Not you or Rex, over here.
Daniella Atlas: That almost sounds like you once upon a time right, mon chéri? Fire & Ice. Rex McAllister is as cool as ice. Raven Roberts is the ‘fire’ of the team. While it was your love that brought the two of you together, you couldn’t be more different from each other? You were more than ready to beat the crap out of us when you lost our match two weeks ago. You were more than ready to beat down on Saori and myself, but it was Rex, who talked you out of it. It was Rex’s calm demenour that saved you from making one of the biggest mistakes of your entire career. If you were to have beaten the crap out of me, Raven, it wouldn’t have ended well for you. It seems like it would have had your career ended in such a tragic way. And who knows? Maybe, we would have done the same with Rex? Just the fun of it.
Rex McAllister: Wow, the two of you are unbelievably arrogant and that’s what the two of you have continued to falter. Now. I’m not in the camp of trying to sully anyone, but for the decade I’ve been in EAW, I have crossed paths with narcissist, sexist, bigots, edgelords, cult leaders – and that’s just a fraction of the people that I have had the unfortunate opportunity to cross paths with. Throughout all of that, I have never met anyone more self-centered and delusional as you, Daniella and Soari.
(The crowd pops for the statement. Meanwhile, Daniella Atlas and Saori Aizen take offense to it. Meanwhile, Rex continues to speak, not giving the statement much of a second thought.)
Rex McAllister: It’s such a shame too because you two clearly have the talent. But, the way you go about things makes them in line with being out the door within the next couple of months –
Daniella Atlas: I’ll be here for the long run. You don’t need to worry about that, Rex. My own flame will continue to roar, unlike you and your wife’s, whose careers are on a downturn.
(The crowd begins to boo as Raven Roberts laughs at the statement.)
Raven Roberts: That’s rich because you had one of the shortest title reigns in EAW history and then followed that up with being an Empress of Elite loser, so who’s dropping the ball?
(Daniella Atlas tilts her head to the side like she’s fighting within herself not to beat the shit out of Raven Roberts. Then, she puts a smile on her face like she knows exactly what she wants to say next.)
Daniella Atlas: You and your man, of course. Because you couldn’t even beat Milli Banks for the Universal Women’s Championship. As for Rex, he bombed the last title opportunity that he had for himself. It seems like he can only be in the title picture whenever his wife is around. Isn’t that sad, Saori?
Saori Aizen: Even then, that doesn’t work –
Jake Mercer: FIRE & ICE JABBED THEIR MICROPHONES TO THE SKULLS OF SAORI AIZEN AND DANIELLA ATLAS! NOW, WE SEE THE FORMER UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS SWEEP THE LEGS OF THEIR OPPONENTS AT OPERATION: DOOMSDAY! THEY BEGIN TO CONNECT WITH A SERIES OF LEFT AND RIGHT STRIKES TO THE FACE! IT SEEMS LIKE THESE TWO HAD ENOUGH TALKING WITH DANIELLA AND SAORI!!!!!
Stew-O: I know for someone like Raven Roberts, it must feel so damn satisfying to finally get her hands on one of the women who screwed her out of a victory two weeks ago! Daniella Atlas seems to be a bit overwhelmed with the punches that Rex McAllister is throwing in her direction! She manages to roll herself out of the ring before Rex could continue on with the punches! Still, Raven has a pretty good grasp on Saori as she manages to get ‘The Reaper’ to her knees! I think that she’s looking for ‘Talon’ right here! Rex is more than hyping up Raven as Raven begins to back away!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Daniella Atlas manages to pull Saori Aizen by the leg and pull her out of the ring at the last second! Raven Roberts manages to stop herself from connecting with her finisher! Daniella did not hesitate in trying to yank Saori out of that ring! I guess that’s some progress there?
Jake Mercer: It’s something, Flann! A step in the right direction there! But, those two women are going to need to be on the same page throughout the entire match if they want to defeat Fire & Ice at Operation: Doomsday!
(Daniella Atlas and Saori Aizen back up the ramp. They are yelling and screaming at Fire & Ice, who remain inside the ring. ‘I2I’ plays back up again as Fire & Ice are completely fired up and ready for Operation: Doomsday. Rex McAllister holds the middle rope down, giving the two women the opportunity to put their money where their mouths are.)
Saori Aizen: (off-mic) YOU’RE FINISHED AT OPERATION: DOOMSDAY!
Daniella Atlas: (off-mic) WE ARE GOING TO PUT YOU DOWN AT OPERATION: DOOMSDAY!
Raven Roberts: (off-mic) I LIKE TO SEE YOU TWO TRY!
Stew-O: The altercation didn’t go the way that Saori Aizen or Daniella Atlas expected, but they plan to make sure that Operation: Doomsday does! But, Fire & Ice looks to be more than ready for a fight! Which one of these two teams will walk out victorious? We’re going to find that out next Saturday!
(A commercial plays for Operation: Doomsday, where Fire & Ice collide with the recently-formed tandem of Daniella Atlas and Saori Aizen!)|
(Back to ringside…)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
( ‘Burn in My Light’ by Mercy Drive hits the PA speakers and Kai Rabeaux sways out from the back with a cocky demeanor. He trudges down the ramp, allowing the fans to take a moment to bask in the glory that he brings. Kai takes his time headed into the ring, climbing the middle rope and throwing his arms out forward to pose.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, from New York City, New York, weighing in at 230 pounds, “THE FORERUNNER” KKKKAAAIIIII! RRRAABBBEEAAAUUUXXXXX!!!
Stew-O: Kai Rabeaux made a great account of himself in his EAW debut last week when he took on Jaylond Stone and he was able to defeat him. He’s got a lot of momentum on his side tonight as he looks to halt BRAE’s momentum headed into Operation: Doomsday.
Jake Mercer: Considering that Kai isn’t on Operation: Doomsday, this would be a strong chance to show our general managers what they’re missing out on, and maybe he’ll find himself on future marquee events in the future! But it’s only if he can win tonight!
(‘Duel of The Fates V2’ by Samuel Kim is next to hit BRAE storms out from the back. With the fans being against Kai Rabeaux, the fans are very much cheering for BRAE tonight.He storms up the steps, entering the ring and spinning to the center, throwing his arm out over the ropes. He backs away, staring Kai down.)
Stephie Love: His opponent, from Bray County Wicklow, Ireland, weighing in at 215 pounds… he is “SON”, BBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Flannery McCoy: On the other hand, BRAE’s focus is entirely on winning the Iron Survivor match! We know he competed in the first ever Iron Survivor match for the New Breed Championship last year, but this one has even higher stakes as he fights for a chance to become number one contender to the World Heavyweight Championship.
Jake Mercer: This is a huge step-up in competition for Kai, and you know that BRAE is very aware of that. He’s going to give Kai a run for his money, and that may not be something that Rabeaux is ready for! BRAE is one of the most lethal and explosive wrestlers in Dynasty, and he’s about to show Rabeaux why that is.
(DING DING DING)
Stew-O: Here we go! A big test for Kai Rabeaux as he cautiously circles around the ring, reaching for BRAE. BRAE steps forward for a collar & elbow tie-up, oh come on! Kai thumbs him in the eye as he comes in! BRAE staggers backward, holding his eye! The referee caught that and he stops Kai from going on an onslaught, trying to warn him—but Kai pushes past and kicks BRAE right in the ribs! He nails him with a forearm to the side of the head! And then he throws his head into the turnbuckles! Completely uncalled for!
Jake Mercer: There’s no remorse in the eyes of Kai Rabeaux right now, as he continues to stomp BRAE out. BRAE falls down, seated in the turnbuckles. Once again, the referee tries to hold him back. Amazing instincts by this young man! He will find an advantage at any means possible, and he’s even rattling a former champion in BRAE! Kai pushes past the ref again and drags BRAE up by the hair. He nails him with a forearm and BRAE staggers away. Kai meets him with another forearm, and BRAE falls to his knees. Kai looks down at him with a big smirk on his face.
Stew-O: He pulls BRAE up, but BRAE shoves him back! Open handed chop from BRAE! Kai wobbles, and BRAE swings another, but Kai raises his fists up to block the chop! BRAE stumbles, holding his wrist. Kai meets him with a knife edge chop! BRAE eats that chop though—and he fires off A KNIFE EDGE CHOP OF HIS OWN! DOWN RABEAUX GOES! BRAE calls him up and he chops him down again! Too easy for BRAE! Kai rises and swings for BRAE, who ducks under and hoists him up for what seems to be a saito suplex!
Flannery McCoy: Only for Kai to start driving down elbows to the back of the head! BRAE falls to a knee and Kai hits off the ropes! He flies into a boot to the side of the head and BRAE hits the canvas. Nothing but boos in the CFG Arena and Kai is eating it up with a smile on his face. He drags BRAE up to a seated position and applies a grounded chinlock! The boos have gotten evenlouder, as Kai is actively restricting BRAE’s ability to get into this match and actually wrestle!
Jake Mercer: Nothing wrong with what Rabeaux is doing, though! Kai slowly brings BRAE down, applying pressure to the chin and neck of BRAE. The fans are up and they start clapping for BRAE, doing their best to root him on in this match! BRAE slowly pushes himself up, and he throws an axehandle into the ribs of Rabeaux! He throws another axe handle into the ribs! And he breaks free and spins into a kesagiri chop to the neck! Rabeaux holds his neck. He swings for BRAE’s head, but BRAE ducks under and hooks the waist, GERMAN SUPLEX RIGHT INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Stew-O: THERE HE GOES! BRAE slowly rises, pumping his fists! Rabeaux slowly pulls himself up, and he clearly has no idea what just hit him! Kai swings for BRAE’s head, but BRAE ducks under and hits off the ropes, bringing him down with a LARIAT! BRAE drags Kai up and hooks him by the head, lifting him vertically for a powerful suplex right in the center of the ring! BRAE slaps the mat and rises to his feet, looking around! He’s really feeding off of that energy, and Kai is still desperately trying to rise–
Flannery McCoy: BRAE wraps his arms around his waist, trying for that german suplex! But Kai scrambles forward, holding onto the top rope for dear life! BRAE tries to lift Kai up, but Kai is holding on to that top rope with all of his life! The referee intervenes, doing his best to pry BRAE off of Kai. BRAE is holding on with so much authority that when he lets go, he spins to the referee with his back turned! BRAE assures the ref to let him handle his business–’REDLINED!’ THE NORTHERN LARIAT FROM KAI RABEAUX! RIGHT TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD, AND HE MAKES THE COVER!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Jake Mercer: KICK OUT FROM BRAE! Rabeaux rises onto his knees, looking at the referee in disbelief! He almost had him right there, but BRAE was able to find his way back into this match!
Kai Rabeaux: (off-mic) Are you kidding me, ref?! How was that NOT three???
Referee: (off-mic) Just a two count, I’m sorry, Rabeaux!
Flannery McCoy: Kai’s going to have to keep his composure if he wants to win this match! BRAE is still nursing at the back of his head, but again, it simply wasn’t enough to take him out of this one. Kai reaches down to BRAE, and he stomps him right across the forehead! BRAE rolls away, holding at his forehead in agony. Kai pulls him back and he places his head down again., another big stomp to the forehead! Kai has a big smile on his face, and he drags BRAE up. Kai turns BRAE around, hooking one arm up and wrapping his arm around the waist of the other as he tosses him overhead for a half and half suplex!
Stew-O: Rabeaux has absolutely done his best to thwart BRAE at every which way! I’m just not sure how long he’ll be able to keep doing this! BRAE is flattened on the canvas, but Rabeaux isn’t going for a cover. He knows that it wasn’t enough moments ago, so he’s changing his strategy! Kai takes BRAE up by the hair, saying something in his face that the ring mics can’t pick up… Kai places BRAE against the turnbuckles and he hits off the turnbuckle, running forward for ‘HOLLOW POINT!”
Jake Mercer: BRAE SIDE STEPS IT! AND KAI GETS CAUGHT UP ON THE TOP ROPE! KAI IS CROUCHED UP THERE, AND BRAE PUSHES HIMSELF AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLES! He slowly makes his way up to the middle rope, and Kai is still trying his hardest to get free! He’s crouched up there and I know that has to hurt! BRAE lets out a defiant war cry, and HE DIVES OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE! DIVING LARIAT TAKES KAI DOWN, AND IT SENDS HIM BACKFLIPPING OFF THE TOP, RIGHT ONTO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! THAT HAS TO BE IT! BRAE ROLLS HIM OVER FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Stew-O: KICK OUT FROM RABEAUX! Both of these men are showing their resilience! We touched up on this in Kai’s match against Jaylond Stone last week, for as much of a cheat as he’s shown to be—the kid absolutely has the resilience and capabilities to go far in Dynasty. BRAE pulls him up to his feet, wasting no time. He takes Kai by the hair and starts headbutting the hell out of him! Kai staggers as BRAE is doing everything in his power to cave his skull in at this point! He keeps going and finally drops Kai, who’s on his knees. Kai checks his forehead for any blood…
Flannery McCoy: Luckily for him, that’s not the case. But if BRAE continues to go on this onslaught it may be imminent! BRAE bounces off the ropes, taking Kai down with a powerful leaping boot to the jaw! Kai is down, and BRAE drags him up. He spins behind and hooks the waist, connecting with the saito suplex this time! Kai is floored, then BRAE rolls to his feet and yells out, DIVING INTO A STANDING SENTON TO THE RIBS OF RABEAUX! Rabeaux rolls over, kicking his legs onto the canvas! He cries out in pain!
Jake Mercer: You can hear those cries from all the way over here! That’s how much pain BRAE will inflict on you! Kai whimpers on the canvas, gritting his teeth as BRAE is starting to punish him. He rises to his feet and squats down, wrapping his arms around the waist of Kai and he deadlifts him off of the canvas. Rabeaux flails desperately, and BRAE tosses him across the ring with a gutwrench suplex! And Kai gets sent near the turnbuckles! Kai rolls over, sitting in the corner. Kai gasps out and BRAE hits off the turnbuckles!
Stew-O: AND BRAE FLIES INTO A KNEE TO THE JAW! Kai falls out of the corner, laid out in the drop zone! For these last few minutes, it has been absolute dominance from BRAE! He exits the ring to make his way onto the apron. BRAE scales the top rope, looking to the cheering crowd. He nods his head and stands atop the rope, FLYING INTO A KNEE DROP TO THE THROAT OF RABEAUX—KAI MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! BRAE’S KNEE SMASHES INTO THE CANVAS! BRAE limps up, holding at his knee in pain! Kai scrambles up to his feet and he takes BRAE out with a chop block!
Flannery McCoy: He could have taken BRAE’s leg out right there! BRAE goes down, clutching at his knee! He cries out in agony, feeling the pain getting to him! BRAE rolls to the turnbuckles, trying to work his way up. Meanwhile, Kai is limping up to his feet. He wipes sweat out of his eyes and runs forward, hitting off the turnbuckles for momentum as he flies into ‘HOLLOW POINT!’ THE RUNNING HIGH KICK CONNECTS, HIS SHIN SMASHING OFF THE JAW OF BRAE! BRAE falls forward, out of it onto his face! Kai rolls him over and hooks the legs for the cover!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—
Jake Mercer: KICK OUT FROM BRAE! Kai was so close to finishing the job but he still can’t find a way to put BRAE down! And that’s going to hurt him as we get into the later stages of this match! He needs to remain his composure, but we can see the exhaustion and frustration building on Rabeaux’s face right now. He leans his head against the canvas, breathing heavily. BRAE rolls over, falling to the ropes. He can hardly stand himself, not after what Kai did to his knee! Kai rises to his feet and he’s got his eyes on it, just as I predicted…
Stew-O: Kai takes BRAE by the leg and he stomps the inner thigh! BRAE yells out, and Kai keeps throwing those stomps down! He holds onto the leg and drags him to the center of the ring. BRAE reaches out for Kai, but Kai takes him down with a DRAGONSCREW LEGWHIP, SENDING HIS LEG INTO THE CANVAS! BRAE sits up, holding at his knee! Kai rises and he boots him down! He stomps out BRAE’s ankle, and BRAE is getting borderline tortured right now! Kai is doing everything in his power to limit his mobility, and that’s not going to bode well going into Operation: Doomsday next week!
Flannery McCoy: Kai lean BRAE’s leg down, and a leaping knee drop to the ankle! And after the knee drop connects, he digs his knee into the shin of BRAE! BRAE cries out, reaching at Kai! He tries to break free, but he can’t! Kai is just running that knee into his ankle—over and over! BRAE sits up, swatting at Kai! But it’s no use! Kai finally rises to his feet, grinning. He takes BRAE by the legs and intertwines them. BRAE struggles, kicking at Kai with all of his might, though! He doesn’t want any parts of a submission!
Jake Mercer: He’s trying to insist on turning over into a sharpshooter, but BRAE is persistent! He’s wiggling his hips, moving side to side! Kai tries to get it in, but BRAE takes the head and ROLLS HIM OVER INTO AN INSIDE CRADLE! SHOULDERS PRESSED TO THE CANVAS! THE REFEREE SLIDES TO THE COUNT, THIS COULD BE IT!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—
Stew-O: Kai BARELY kicks out! Both men wobble up to their feet. BRAE limps towards Kai, and Kai kicks that knee out! BRAE falls to his knees and Kai leaps into a superkick–NO! BRAE CATCHES THE ANKLE! He spins him around and TAKES HIM OUT WITH A LARIAT, RIGHT TO THE JAW! BRAE limps up to his feet and takes Kai by the head. He jams his head into his thighs and takes him by the waist, lifting him up, despite the bad leg! AND HE BRINGS HIM DOWN WITH A POWERBOMB RIGHT ONTO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! Kai is out of it! BRAE falls over, holding at his leg! He needs to make the cover, but as he crawls over …
Jake Mercer: He can’t get to Rabeaux in time because he’s rolling away from him! BRAE grits his teeth, the frustration getting to him. Kai is out on the apron, and BRAE limps up to his feet. He looks at Kai and pulls him up by the head. BRAE turns him around and wraps his arms around the top rope. BRAE leans Kai’s head down against the rope and he looks around with a big smile on his face! He RAISES HIS ARM AND HE CAVES HIS CHEST IN WITH THE TEN BEATS OF BRAE! THE CROWD IS COUNTING ALONG!
Crowd: OOONNNEEEE! TTTWWWOOOO! TTHHHRRREEEEE! FOOOOUUURRRR! FIIIIVVVEEE! SIIIIXXX!! SEEEVVEEENNN!!! EIIIIGGGHHHHTTTT! NIIIIINNNNEEEEE!! OHHH….. TEEEEEENNNNNN!!!
Stew-O: Rabeaux falls to his knees, holding his chest in agony! Kai gasps out in pain, and BRAE climbs the middle rope. He struggles on one leg, and he takes the head and slowly deadlifts him up in the air, BRINGING HIM DOWN WITH A SUPERPLEX INTO THE RING OFF THE ROPES! KAI GETS SENT CRASHING INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING! BUT HOW DAMAGED IS THAT LEG OF BRAE?! He needs to find his way back into this one now! He’s got Kai in prime position to take advantage and end this match!
Flannery McCoy: You can see the anger building on BRAE’s face! He’s slapping at his knee, trying to will it back into this one! Kai slowly rises to his feet, and BRAE rises with him! AND BRAE RUNS FORWARD, TAKING KAI OUT WITH THE ‘MORRIGAN!”
Jake Mercer: BRAE’S LEG GIVES OUT ON HIM! HE CAN’T CONTINUE! TOO MUCH STRESS ON THE LEG, AND KAI REALIZES IT! He has a big grin on his face and he drags BRAE up to his feet—HEADBUTT FROM BRAE! HE BAITED KAI IN! KAI FALLS ONTO HIS BACK, AND BRAE LEAPS INTO THE RED DEATH! THE ELBOW RIGHT INTO THE THROAT OF RABEAUX! AND BRAE HOOKS THE LEGS FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
(DING DING DING!)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner of this match, BBBBRRRRRRAAAAAAAEEEEEEEE!!!
(BRAE sits up, clutching at his leg. Kai is still knocked out on the canvas, having zero idea what hit him. The referee helps BRAE up and takes him by the wrist, raising it up high. BRAE nods, limping to the ropes. He looks back at Kai and shakes his head.)
Stew-O: Strong showing from Kai Rabeaux, but BRAE used his veteran instincts to his advantage! He knew that he wasn’t going to be able to get the full extension on the Morrigan, so he baited Rabeaux in so he could plant him with the Red Death!
Jake Mercer: And for that to happen, Kai Rabeaux has to do his masterful job at working the leg! He may have fell for it—but Kai should not be ashamed of himself because he put up a great performance against a former New Breed Champion!
Flannery McCoy: And now BRAE diverts his focus towards the Iron Survivor match at Operation: Doomsday. Nothing but the best of luck to BRAE for that one!
(A commercial plays for Smoothie King.)
(Dynasty would come back on air, and the sounds of “Betty(Get Money) by Yung Gravy blared through the speakers. But instead of the entrance of Clayton Golde, we were already immediately presented with him in the ring. He had a microphone on as the hostility ringed in, he grinned loudly.)
Stew-O: And here is Clayton Golde, now, if I am being honest here, things for him have been going extremely well. But despite all that, he has kind of gotten himself into some severe trouble.
Flannery McCoy: Well you know.. the thing with last week, he got popped by Jay Jerry Johnson without a singular moment of hesitation; there was nothing to play around with there. Clayton willingly shot himself in his own foot, and he had to reap the difficulty of that!
Jake Mercer: Come on guys! Let’s be honest and forreal here, Clayton is the hottest he has ever been since stepping into the EAW landscape, and even though some things haven’t gone his way, it isn’t by his misfortune and virtue, Jay Jerry Johnson is just a dirty competitor!!
(Clayton waited for his theme to die down, again. He sulked in the hostility and kind of just proceeded forth there for a moment, ushering it in. He finally spoke.)
Clayton Golde: Ladies and gentlemen, once again you are blessed by the virtue of being in the presence of your FUTURE Interwire champion, and yes. I just want to go ahead and say it right now, I want you to get the mental imagery of me being champion locked down. In a moment we are about to witness me doing all and being all, with an immense performance on the commentary booth. As I make Holly Arrow vs Jay Jerry Johnson in 2025 genuinely sound like an interesting bout, but all the while, I want to talk about how I am feeling. I have a right to be upset and angry, I have a notion to feel the way that I feel, last week was supposed to be generational and historic for me! I was supposed to move the needle in a way the needle has never been moved! I was the debut episode of the Golden Pill podcast on live EAW television, WAS RUINED. But you know what, maybe it isn’t so bad. Whenever we look back on the success of my career, we’re going to go back to that moment. Because it’ll be one of the only times we ever got to really see Jay Jerry Johnson before fading into obscurity. Because I am taking his title, and it’s going to be SO GREAT. AAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!
(Clayton Golde garnered in the boos again, as he was laughing like a hyena, he was absolutely staggering, as he could barely maintain himself from his constant laughter. Like it was to the point where it was absolutely unbearable, but that was until…)
(….)
Stew-O: AND HERE COMES JAY JERRY JOHNSON!! THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION DOES NOT LOOK TOO HAPPY! Nor does Clayton Golde, it seems as if no matter how much Golde starts spewing, Jay is going to be here to shut him down quickly after.
Flannery McCoy: Clayton Golde’s laughter cut off in almost an instance, but Jay is making his way to the ring with a stout look on his face. Let’s be honest here, it’s been almost a month. He’s just kind of done with it at this point! And it’s clear no matter what Clayton says, he’s not already heard it before.
Jake Mercer: COME ON! CAN WE GET ONE CONSISTENT PATTERN OF CLAYTON GOLDE ACTUALLY SPEAKING? WHY DOES JAY ALWAYS RUIN IT. You cannot forge new greatness in EAW, If we are consistently remaining in this spectrum… come on, man! Give Golde a chance!
(Jay made his way down to the ring as he entered quickly, the look on his face as he already had a microphone at hand. He was irked like hell, and he didn’t even wait for his theme music to stop..)
Jay Jerry Johnson: Let’s dial it down.
(Jay raised a hand as his theme music died, and then he stood there, looking at Clayton.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: You aren’t worth the gum underneath my boot, you are sitting here and praising yourself, alluding to how hot one person’s ego can inflate. You are constantly going on about yourself, running a notion of your greatness. But you aren’t like that, you are not anywhere near that, you aren’t even remotely good in my own personal opinion. If you ever won the Interwire Championship the downfall of this title would become so rapid. You really think that you are going to change the game..? You would make this championship nothing good to look at. You would immensely dwindle its prestige in almost an overnight manner, you think it’s going to be all the publicity? But this title, if you ever got the opportunity to hold it, is screwed. You plug your scam books; you talk about your struggling supplements. You basically show everyone the fact that you have Ghost Writers on live TV. You do not give a damn about hard work, and it repulses my stomach.
Clayton Golde: C’mon bro, stop being such an immense stick up the arse! You’re being a purist weirdo dude, you don’t get the love for the alpha stuff, because you just ain’t it. Everyone loves me bro, listen! Just listen to them, EVERYONE GIVE CLAYTON GOLDE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOO!
(Clayton held the microphone to the crowd, expecting loud and huge cheers.. but they didn’t. Clayton was a little frustrated that they did not shower him in respect and appreciation. He just kind of tried to shrug it off though, even though it was severely embarrassing for him. Jay even took notice of that, as he was laughing a little bit. He saw Clayton getting humbled, and it was quite the nice feeling.)
Clayton Golde: But the point is, they might not all get it, I heard a couple boos there! But look, the only thing that will be getting ruined is YOU. Not the Interwire Championship, YOU.
Jay Jerry Johnson: Well, if that’s the case, then at least I’ll be happy knowing my career is still in a better spot than yours.
Crowd: :Damn:!!!!
(That one came flying in hot, and you could just SEE how upset it made, Clayton stepped back… he looks like he is about to swing on Jay!!!!!!!! But he stops, raising the microphone to his lips.)
Clayton Golde: You know what? It’s fine, I have better things to do. Like make Jay Jerry Johnson look interesting on commentary for once!
(Jay dropped and rolled out of the ring, as he walked over to the table. Grin spread wide across his face..)
Clayton Golde: EVENING GENTLEMEN AND ALPHAS, IT IS THE VOICE OF EAW, CLAYTON GOLDE AND I’LL BE HOPPING IN ON COMMENTARY.
Stew-O: :yikes:
Flannery McCoy: Oh brother.
Jake Mercer: GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE MAN!
(Jay just looked at Clayton over at commentary, it was whatever from this point, Clayton was absolutely probably planning something. He just had to stay focused, as he looked towards the ramp.)
Stephie Love: The following singles match is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Stephie Love: Already in the ring… from Chicago, Illinois… weighing in at 223 pounds… he is the EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!! ‘THE ARTIST’… JAY JERRY JOHNSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Judas’ by Lady Gaga begins to blast through the speakers of the arena as the camera goes over to show Holly Arrow as she’s seen making her way out with a determined expression on her face. Completely ignoring what just transpired, she takes a deep breath before then beginning to make her way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent… from Liverpool, England… weighing in at 149 pounds… ‘THE FINAL GIRL’… HOLLY ARROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING DING DING!)
Flannery McCoy: Here we go, the match is off to a start and both Holly and Jay circle around the ring. Holly swings in for a lock up, but Jay spins behind her into a waist lock. Holly struggles, trying to fight Jay off. She hooks the wrist and tries out into a wrist lock! Jay rolls forward, kicking out Holly’s hand and tripping her onto her stomach. He floats over into a hammerlock and applies pressure. Holly grits her teeth, reaching out for the ropes. She kneels up, trying to break free– but he brings her right down! She reaches out for the ropes and Jay continues to press down on her.
Jake Mercer: Holly works back to a seated position. Despite the pain soaring through her shoulder, she makes her way back up to her feet and wraps her hand around the back of Jay’s head. She leaps up in the air, and takes Jay down with a one handed snapmare! Jay snaps over her shoulder and she rises, grabbing him in a grounded waistlock. Jay grits his teeth, rolling to a seated position as well. He holds onto the wrist of Holly and rolls to his side, pressing her shoulders to the canvas!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE—
Stew-O: Holly raises a shoulder to kick out, but she releases the waist lock as a result and Jay flips over her, grabbing her into a side headlock on the ground! Jay is pulling back tight on that headlock, and Holly is struggling. He’s clinching his arms tight, trying to drain all of the air out of her. Jay Jerry Johnson reminding everyone how great of a technical wrestler he is, he’s got a counter for everything!
Flannery McCoy: Looking at him roll Holly over, though. He hooks the arm up, as he wants an anaconda vice! Holly is fighting with all of her might though, trying to keep her arm away from Jay. This is a risky call from Jay, without a doubt. If he doesn’t maintain this hold, he’s gonna lose out on the headlock—and that’s exactly what happens when Holly slips her head free and jumps into another headlock!
Jake Mercer: Jay slowly rises though, driving an elbow into the side of Holly. He drives another elbow into her side and he brings her to the ropes and sends her off! Holly doesn’t go down, though! She spins around Jay’s body—animalistic like as she trips him with the tiger spin drop toe hold! And Holly goes right into a fujiwara armbar afterwards! Beautiful!
Clayton Golde: Booooooooorrrrriiiinnnnngg…. when the hell are one of these two going to punch the other in the face?!
Stew-O: This is some phenomenal technical wrestling, Clayton. I’m sure we’ll see more aggression and intensity as this one continues on. Holly is continuing to give the Interwire Champion a run for her money, pulling back on that fujiwara armbar. Jay shakes his head, reaching for the ropes. He claws at the canvas, trying his hardest to get free and out of this hold. Holly refuses to let go, though, digging her elbow into the shoulder blade of Jay Jerry Johnson! You can see the effect that it’s having on the champion, as well!
Clayton Golde: If he was a smart man, he’d just kick out and save all of us the time. I mean, really? You’re getting tied up in a submission by a woman two times smaller than you? That could never happen to me.
Flannery McCoy: Sure it couldn’t. Anyways, Jay is finally beginning to sway himself to the side! And he successfully does so, getting his foot on the bottom rope! Holly is forced to release the hold and she rises up, shaking her head. Jay shakes out his arm, slowly rising to his feet. The two cautiously circle around the ring and engage into a collar & elbow tie-up to start over. Holly gets the better of Jay this time, spinning into an arm wringer. She drives her shoulder into his, and snaps into a wrist lock!
Jake Mercer: The Interwire Champion won’t allow himself to be embarrassed so easily, though! He makes his way over to the ropes and places his palm on the top rope. Jay uses the momentum of the ropes to aid him with a backflip, and then he spins into an armdrag! He’s all over Holly, transitioning to a grounded armbar! Holly screams out, as Jay is applying deep pressure!
Clayton Golde: “All over Holly”??? There you hear it, folks! The only time Jay Jerry Johnson is ever on top of a woman is when he’s booked to face one! What a wimp.
Stew-O: I’m not sure how that’s relevant Clayton, but Jay Jerry Johnson has that grounded armbar in tight. He slowly rolls over, wanting to transition to a keylock, but Holly bridges up to avoid her arms being pressed to the canvas! Jay tries to mount on top of her, but Holly raises her feet up, elevating Jay above the canvas with just her legs. He struggles, being held up! Jay drops to his feet and grabs the hands of Holly, trying to deadlift her up—but Holly leaps up in the air and wraps her legs around Jay’s waist, bringing him down with a wheelbarrow victory roll!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!
Jake Mercer: Kick out from Jay! Both rise and Holly swings a forearm, but Jay ducks and throws a scything calf kick! Holly holds at her calf, and Jay throws another! Holly staggers, and Jay throws a chest kick, but Holly catches his leg and spins him around to drop Jay with a lariat! Jay rises and Holly ducks under, hooking the waist and tossing Jay backwards with a german suplex! She rises to her feet, pumping her fists! Jay slowly rises and Holly charges forward, taking him out with a corner lariat!
Stew-O: Holly hits off the turnbuckles, but this time around Jay charges back in with a corner european uppercut! Beautifully executed! Jay hits off again, but Holly follows behind him with a corner lariat! These two are going tit for tat! Jay is nearly out of it, and Holly follows off with corner forearm smashes! Jay falls to a seated position, and Holly twirls her finger around to signal a rotation. She runs across the ring into a curved boot to the jaw! Holly hits off again and drills Jay with a facewash, digging her boot into his chin!
Clayton Golde: About time we’re getting some action! Holly is beating the hell out of Jay! Keep at it, please!
Flannery McCoy: Holly rises and she hits off the turnbuckles, but Jay pops up to his feet and he cracks her with a headbutt! Holly wobbles, then Jay twirls around, hooking her into a hammerlock. He takes the waist and lifts her up for a hammerlock back suplex! Jay rolls her over and holds the arm, bridging over into a fujiwara armbar—just like she did to him earlier!
Stew-O: Beautifully executed by Jay! Holly is struggling to get free! Holly screams out, reaching for the ropes. She runs her hands through her hair, trying to get to the ropes. Jay continues to bend back on the arm of Holly, taking her fingers. He starts to bend the fingers back, prompting Holly to scream out in pain!
Jake Mercer: Jay starts to pull back on the arm, but Holly rolls over this time and cradles the leg, freeing herself to get a schoolboy rollup on Jay! Could an upset be imminent?!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!
Flannery McCoy: No! Jay kicks out! Holly rises up to her feet and she ducks under Jay, hooking the waist! She tossed him with a german suplex! Holly hangs on, rolling over. She drags him up for a second german suplex! And now she rolls over for the third one, but this time, Holly brings him to the ropes for an O’Connor Roll! Jay holds on for dear life, though! And a result, Holly snaps backwards with Jay with a third german suplex!
Stew-O: She didn’t get the O’Connor Roll, but she certainly hurt the Interwire Champion! Holly slowly pulls herself up, feeling the momentum. Jay rolls to the floor, clutching the back of his head. Holly rolls out with him and picks him up. She nails him with a forearm, and Jay follows up with one of his own! Another forearm from Holly, and Jay fires back! Now these two are just trading shots outside the ring! Holly swings for Jay’s head, but Jay ducks under and scoops her up—BACK SUPLEX ON THE APRON! Jay holds onto Holly and shoves her into the ring! He rolls in, dragging her up.
Jake Mercer: Jay brings Holly to the ropes and irish whips her off. Jay scoops Holly up, for a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker! Holly falls off of Jay’s knee and she lies there, holding her back in deep pain! Jay looks down at Holly and nods. He’s not done there, either. Jay pulls Holly up, grabbing her by the head. Jay tries to lift her up—but Holly kicks her in the gut! She grabs Jay by the head and hooks the leg, spinning into a FISHERMAN’S NECKBREAKER! Right onto the back of Jay’s head! He’s out of it!
Stew-O: Holly sits up, nodding profusely! She rises to her feet and drags Jay up. She grabs him into a pumphandle, scooping him up and spinning out into ‘MAGNETIC DESCENT!’ The sit-out piledriver connects and Jay gets spiked onto the back of his head! Holly got him! She hooks his legs and brings them over her shoulders for the cover!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEE—
Flannery McCoy: KICK OUT FROM JAY JERRY JOHNSON! That was a close one, though! Holly was very close to catching Jay off guard and leaving the win! Look over here at Clayton Golde, he certainly fell for it!
Clayton Golde: Watch your mouth, woman! I DID think that was it, though. Perhaps I’ve given Holly Arrow too much credit, but I know that if I hit him with the C’est La Vie, this would be over!
Stew-O: The Magnetic Descent isn’t even one of Holly’s strongest moves…
Clayton Golde: Every Clayton Golde move is Clayton Golde’s strongest move. That’s a skill issue for her.
Jake Mercer: Meanwhile, Holly is working her way back up to recover. She steps out of the ring and climbs the top rope. Jay slowly rises, and Holly dives off the top for a missile dropkick—NO! Jay catches her by the legs and he intertwines the legs, flipping her over for a TEXAS CLOVERLEAF! The cloverleaf is locked in tight and Holly has no answer for Jay! She reaches for the ropes, but Jay is bending those legs back and pulling as far as he can!
Flannery McCoy: She’s crawling to the ropes! Jay continues to pull onto her legs, though! Holly shakes her head, army crawling to the ropes. And finally, she gets to the—NO! Jay pulls her back to the center, locking that cloverleaf in tight! Holly cries out, leaning her head on the canvas! She shakes her head, trying her best to escape. But Jay won’t let her out so easy!
Stew-O: Holly shows her resilience! She gathers herself and grabs that bottom rope! Jay releases the hold, falling to his fours. He runs his hands through his hair, slowly working his way up. Holly rolls to the apron and Jay rises. He takes Holly by the hair and slowly turns her around. He tries to hook his arms under her neck, but she elbows him back! Another elbow from Holly! And she goes to hit the ropes—but Jay hooks the waist from behind!
Jake Mercer: He grabs her in a wrist clutch and Jay ripcords her out! PHILOSOPHY IN A TEA CUP! THE SOMERSAULT REVERSE DDT TAKES HER OUT! HOLLY IS DOWN, AND JAY HOOKS THE LEGS FOR THE COVER!
Clayton Golde: Fuck this.
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Flannery McCoy: WHAT THE HELL?!
Stew-O: CLAYTON GOLDE HOPS ON THE APRON, AND HE SCREECHES FOR THE REFEREE’S ATTENTION! THE REFEREE STOPS HIS COUNT, TRYING TO GET HIM OFF OF THE APRON! When Jay Jerry Johnson realizes what just happened, he sits up, incensed!
Jake Mercer: Jay rises to his feet and he immediately clobbers Clayton off the apron! Jay steps out of the ring and starts beating down on Clayton! Golde covers up as he’s getting battered right in front of us! He’s got a chance to fight back, but I don’t know if he would want to give the win away to Jay by DQ!
Flannery McCoy: Either way, it’s chaotic outside the ring! Holly rolls out of the ring on the opposite side, trying to recover after nearly losing that match. Holly squints her eyes, trying to figure out what’s going on the other side—HOLLY GOES DOWN! HUH?!
Stew-O: That’s Mia Santoro! The woman that Holly has been dealing with these last couple of weeks! Mia and Holly scramble up to their feet, and they’re brawling! On the other side, Clayton has taken the advantage over JJJ and he’s beating down on him! It’s a pier six brawl all around ringside right now! The referee has no idea how to handle what’s going on right now!
(DING DING DING!)
Stephie Love: As a result of the referee losing control over the order of this match, this has been ruled a NO CONTEST!
Jake Mercer: That’s it! A no contest, but the end of this match hasn’t discouraged these four! Holly and Mia are fighting up the ramp! They’re going back and forth, brawling and throwing all kinds of shots! Mia punches Holly up the ramp, and she tackles her down into the stage! Mia mounts Holly, beating down on her! Holly covers up, but then she flips it over! OH, GUYS WE MIGHT NEED TO—
(Jay Jerry Johnson throws Clayton Golde over the announce table and the feed cuts out! The crowd is going wild as security runs out, trying their best to separate Mia Santoro and Holly Arrow from each other on the stage! Despite Holly’s exhaustion, she pushes past the security guards and leaps onto the sea of guards holding Mia back! Mia falls over and Holly mounts Mia, decimating her with constant punches to the head! Mia kicks her off, and Holly falls backwards into the security guards that she ran past! Mia rises to her feet and she runs full force, using all of her speed to flatten Holly with a football-like tackle! Mia grabs Holly by the hair and slams her head down into the stage over and over!)
(Meanwhile; Jay Jerry Johnson and Clayton Golde are trading punches back and forth in the crowd! Jay punches Clayton back, but Clayton grabs a fire extinguisher and sprays it into the face of Jay! Clayton takes Jay by the head and throws him near the production tables! Clayton grabs Jay by the hair and leans him against the steel guard rail, punching him over and over! Jay covers up to the best of his ability. Clayton turns and yells at a fan, bullying him out of his chair. Clayton takes the chair and aims for Jay’s head!)
Stew-O: JAY IS ABOUT TO GET HIS HEAD KNOCKED OFF OF HIS SHOULDERS COURTESY OF CLAYTON GOLDE— BUT HE MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!
Flannery McCoy: OH NO!
Jake Mercer: CLAYTON JUST HIT ONE OF THE PRODUCTION WORKERS! THE CHAIR BASHES HIM IN THE FACE AND HE FALLS OUT OF HIS CHAIR! Jay tackles Clayton down immediately afterwards! And now security is rushing down, trying to separate these two as well! Clayton is holding on to Jay’s hair, pulling on it, as if he’s going to rip his hair out! Jay drops down, clawing Clayton’s face and throwing elbows into the mouth! Clayton covers up, but Jay remains on top of him!
Flannery McCoy: Not for long! Those elbows to the mouth drew blood out of Clayton—but Clayton spits blood into the eyes of Jay! Clayton scrambles up, grabbing Jay into a front facelock! He tries to choke him out with a guillotine! These fans have to be fearing for their lives right now!
Stew-O: Jay tackles Clayton down, right into the security guards! They’ve gotta send back up just to handle Holly Arrow and Mia Santoro! And there’s more coming in the crowd to stop Jay and Clayton from continuing to go at it! And hold on—I’m hearing words that we’ve got a camera on the scene for something happening backstage?!
(The camera cuts backstage in the midst of the chaos, and referees and agents are yelling, trying to desperately aid to a downed Corey Hale, struggling to rise up to his feet. The camera pans over to the attacker, Cosmo Goldworthy! Cosmo grits his teeth, trying to push past the security, clearly not satisfied with his handiwork.)
Referee: I think you’ve proved your point, Cosmo! That’s enough!
Cosmo Goldworthy: Ain’t no such thing as ‘enough’, motherfucker! I got a point to prove!
(Cosmo shoves past the refs and he knees Corey into crates! Cosmo grabs Corey and throws him on top of the crate, punching the hell out of him as he’s sprawled out on the crate! Corey covers up to the best of his ability. He shoves Cosmo off and slips down, but Cosmo comes back with the COLDEST WINTER AGAINST THE WALL! The Spear brings Corey down and Cosmo staggers back, wide eyed. He yells at Corey, while referees and agents continue to pull him away. Hale holds his ribs, wheezing out in pain. Medical comes over, tending to him to the best that they can.)
Jake Mercer: If this was a preview for Operation: Doomsday, it was an amazing one! No one may have won that match—but we definitely won as spectators!
(A commercial plays for Operation: Doomsday, where Jay Jerry Johnson defends the Interwire Championship against Clayton Golde.)
(Friday Night Dynasty returns to a panaround shot of the CFG Arena as inside of the ring, Dynasty General Managers Kensingten Calhoun-Astor and Richard Grant are seen standing by. Both of them are interlocked hand-in-hand, each having microphones and bright smiles as the crowd in attendance here tonight is enthusiastic for what is to come. After a moment, Kensingten and Richard begin speaking to the crowd as they settle down.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Welcome everybody, I hope you’ve been having a great time watching Friday Night Dynasty tonight!
Richard Grant: I can tell Baltimore, Maryland, is excited, considering we are just one week away from our first brand-exclusive Marquee Event of the year, Operation Doomsday. There are some great matches from top to bottom, but the one that we want to focus on in particular is the centerpiece of the event: the Iron Survivor match!
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: My, my, that’s certainly something to be excited for! Some of the best Elitists on the Friday Night Dynasty brand are competing with the winner getting a shot at a World Championship of their choosing- doesn’t that just raise the stakes to new heights? We know what that did for Milli Banks, no?
Richard Grant: Of course, Saturday Night Showdown should be grateful that we bred a star for them out of the kindness of our heart. :wow: After she won the Iron Survivor last year, she went on to win the Universal Women’s Championship at Pain For Pride, which goes to show the infinite possibilities when it comes to an opportunity of that caliber! But enough of the dilly-dallying; let’s get these competitors out there to speak their peace!
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Yes, please welcome at this time, Kirk Redwood!
(‘Sinister Purpose’ by Creedence Clearwater Revival begins to play through the speakers of the arena as the crowd gives a mixed reaction for Kirk Redwood, who is seen making his way out. He has a serious expression on his face as he begins to storm down the ramp and toward the ring with a purpose.)
Stew-O: Well, here comes Kirk Redwood, and it certainly came as a surprise to see his participation in this match be announced. He’s been having a strong year so far, going the distance in the King of Elite tournament only to be beaten by the winner, Drake Armstrong, in the semifinals, he’s surely looking to keep the momentum going as he fights for a chance to contend for his first singles Championship in the company.
Flannery McCoy: Imagine if the first singles Championship that he won in this company was a World Championship, that would be a demanding statement by the former Unified Tag Team Champion. Kirk is walking out here with a purpose, and it seems like he’s looking to assert himself over the competition.
Jake Mercer: Us Redwoods know that we’ve been waiting for this moment for a very long time! Mark my words, Kirk Redwood is going to be on top! He’s going to the main event of Pain For Pride, I’ll take it to my grave!
(Kirk makes his way into the ring with a microphone already in hand as ‘Sinister Purpose’ begins to come to a close. He approaches both Kensingten and Richard, who greet him with smiles on their faces.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: We appreciate that you could join us tonight, Kirk.
Kirk Redwood: I don’t care who I’m up against. It doesn’t matter to me. Let it be known right now my intentions of winning this match. Nobody is going to stop me from my sole purpose, and that is taking this opportunity for myself. I’ll fight against all the odds if necessary.
Richard Grant: :wow: Those are certainly some bold words. Moving on, please welcome the next participant, BRAE!
(‘Clash of the Gods [EPIC VERSION]’ by Carameii begins to play through the speakers of the arena as the crowd begins to cheer loudly for BRAE, who is seen beginning to make his way out from the backstage area and toward the stage. He has a serious expression on his face yet a calmed stance as he takes a scan around at the crowd in attendance before heading down to the ring.)
Stew-O: Well, next here comes BRAE, who has been a man on a mission since losing the New Breed Championship at King of Elite. I couldn’t imagine a better way to bounce back from a loss like that than winning the Iron Survivor match.
Flannery McCoy: BRAE is one of the few people in this match who have experience in this match, being in the New Breed Iron Survivor match last year. Although he didn’t come out victorious, he had a stellar performance and is looking to replicate something of the sort next week.
Jake Mercer: On second thought, maybe BRAE will win this match. I don’t know, I’m rooting for him. God, this match has such great participants; I’m indecisive.
(BRAE makes his way into the ring with a microphone already in hand as ‘Clash of the Gods [EPIC VERSION]’ begins to fade out. As he approaches both Kensingten and Richard, his eyes land on Kirk, who is standing back with his arms crossed toward him.)
BRAE: I admire your fire, Kirk, and I admire your passion. But only one of us is going to come out on top, and it is the one who is not only going to want this the most but is going to fight the hardest to get it. And I know that I have more bite than your dog has bark.
Kirk Redwood: Bold words from a man who does not know what I am fully capable of in a situation like this. When this dog strikes you down where you stand, we will see who is the better Elitist between the two of us.
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Certainly the rowdy bunch you both are! This is going to be fun. Let’s welcome the next person out here, one of my personal favorites, Hans Grayson!
(‘The Leaving Song Pt. II’ by AFI begins to play through the speakers, as this elicits a positive reaction from the crowd as the camera goes over to reveal Hans Grayson as he is seen making his way out with his arms spread out. He has a smirk on his face as he hypes up the crowd in attendance here tonight before then beginning to make his way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Stew-O: Here comes the Interwire Champion as Hans Grayson is making his way to the ring here tonight, even more motivated than ever. It’s been a long road in the latter half of this season, and although he has faced a couple of setbacks, he’s looking to get back on the horse and in a big way.
Flannery McCoy: And it certainly wouldn’t be too far of a stretch for him to win this entire Iron Survivor match in the process. He’s been a former New Breed Champion and a former Interwire Champion, and now he’s looking to continue what has been a great career in EAW so far with a World Championship, so let’s see what he has in store for us!
Jake Mercer: On second thought, I’m a Fireheart until the day I die! Maybe Hans Grayson will win this entire Iron Survivor match! God, who else could they announce to the ring tonight???
(Hans makes his way into the ring as ‘The Leaving Song Pt. II’ begins to come to a close. He brushes past Kensingten and Richard and heads toward BRAE, both of them exchanging a respectful handshake before Hans begins to speak.)
Hans Grayson: I have a lot of respect for the both of you. Extremely hard workers who have an unmatched level of grit. You’ve been fighting for a very long time, and it was only a matter of time before you got a chance to show the world what you’re made of. I know that you’re going to make the best out of it, but I am here to show you why I can do better than that and beat you.
BRAE: And I would not be entirely surprised by such a claim, Hans. But the only thing that does is fuel me further to make sure that I beat you. We are both going to lay it all on the line, but now more than ever, I am going to show why I am more than you can handle. This is not just going to be a battle; this is going to be a war, and I am going to walk out victorious.
Kirk Redwood: So you claim, but try as you may, you’re not going to stop what’s coming for both of you. I believe what you are both saying, and I expect nothing but the best in terms of competition with so much on the line. But don’t think for a moment that this means that it is too much to handle for me, because it isn’t. It’s nothing I haven’t fought through before, both in this ring and in my life, and just like I always do, I will come out on top.
Richard Grant: All of you certainly have a lot to say, but before this gets out of hand, let’s get the next competitor out here… Chris Elite!
(‘Invincible’ by Pop Smoke begins to play through the speakers of the arena as the camera goes over to show a serious-looking Chris Elite as he makes his way out to the stage. He has a determined expression on his face as he eyes his competition inside of the ring before then beginning to make his way down the ramp.)
Stew-O: Well, here comes Chris Elite, and it’s safe to say that it has been less than an easy road for him this past season. Coming off of a crushing loss at King of Elite, I’m sure he is determined to put that behind him and start his road to Pain For Pride in a huge way by winning at Operation: Doomsday.
Flannery McCoy: Chris Elite is a Hall of Famer for a reason, and even though he has his doubters, what matters is the fact that he can rise to the occasion in situations like these and lay it on the line, and I anticipate that is exactly what he is going to do.
Jake Mercer: You know, I wouldn’t be opposed to Chris Elite winning either. FUCK, please don’t bring more people out it’s going to make my decision harder!
(Chris makes his way into the ring, rolling his eyes at Kensingten and Richard as ‘Invincible’ then begins to come to a close from there. Then, looking at the three other competitors in the ring, he begins to speak.)
Chris Elite: :francis: The last thing that I need to do is explain myself to a bunch of dickeating bozos who aren’t going to get it. Shit, it’s not like anybody has been listening to me for the past couple of months anyway! It’s been nothing but constant disrespect, and I’m done with it, so I’m past the point of trying to stand here and run my mouth getting you to believe what I’m saying. I’m just going to go ahead and take what I deserve.
Hans Grayson: I’d watch what I’d say, Chris. You might be asking for more than you bargained for by trying to claim that you’re above all of us.
Chris Elite: https://media1.tenor.com/m/3FmzXVFbxEYAAAAC/kyrie-irving-kyrie-irving-crying.gif
Hans Grayson: :comeagain:
Chris Elite: Shut the fuck up.
BRAE: This is not a fight that you are going to win, Chris. No matter how hard you try, it is not going to mean anything. It is not because you cannot; it is because you don’t have the drive anymore to want to do something with your career, so do not set yourself up for failure like this. It is unfortunate to see you make a mockery of yourself.
Kirk Redwood: None of your words matter in comparison to what happens inside of that ring, and that goes for all of you.
Chris Elite: Bro, who even are you???
Kirk Redwood: You are going to find out soon enough. I do not need to explain myself just as you don’t need to, so you’d understand. If there is one thing I can say, it is that I will never be Chris Elite, and I will never allow myself to fall that low, no matter how far that is. So, to make all these baseless claims is quite the bold choice.
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Boys, let’s calm down here. We’re far from done! We have one more announced competitor here tonight that we need to introduce. Please welcome Cy Henderson!
(‘Saint Pablo’ by Kanye West begins to play through the speakers of the arena as the crowd starts to erupt in thunderous boos as the camera goes over to Cy Henderson as he is seen making his way out. He has a serious expression on his face as he has his view completely focused on the ring, beginning to make his way down the ramp after some time.)
Jake Mercer: Aw man, the Greatest of All Time??? This is difficult.
Stew-O: Interestingly, we have one more person left that has yet to be announced, but right now, Cy Henderson is making his way to the ring, and we already heard how he feels about this match last week in his return to in-ring competition.
Flannery McCoy: He’s looking to conduct business and get back to what truly matters, and that is adding more to his already legendary resume. Getting a World Championship is the name of the game, and the Hall of Famer is poised to do just that.
(Cy makes his way into the ring. As he looks at all of them, his eyes land on Chris, and he can only chuckle. ‘Saint Pablo’ begins to come to a close as he then begins to speak from there.)
Cy Henderson: No, Chris, don’t let them silence you. If there is anyone that understands you in this match, it’s me. But you also have to understand that there is someone who has that same drive and determination as you but is willing to do even more to get there. It’s nothing personal, it’s never anything personal. Just know that you’re in the way.
Chris Elite: Yeah, man, whatever. Like I care about what anyone thinks anymore. Unc, let me tell it straight, nothing is going to stop me from thinking that I am going to win this match. And maybe it’s my mouth writing checks that my body can’t cash, I don’t give a fuck, I’m just going to go out there and do what I do best and that’s be a World Championship caliber competitor.
Hans Grayson: You’re entitled to believing that, but it’s a matter of doing, and right now, I don’t think you’re even confident in yourself to do what you’ve set out to do.
Chris Elite: Bro, do you shut up?
BRAE: I agree. But when it comes to the both of you, I am not intimidated by the prospect of having to go through any of you. Yes, your accolades speak for themselves, but I have slain bigger beasts than you are. I am not backing down.
Kirk Redwood: Many didn’t expect me to get here, and that’s fine. BRAE, your words are of vitriol and passion, but I want you to know right now that mine are stronger than yours or any of the other competition in this match. It will not stop me. I will not die, not yet, not to any of you.
Cy Henderson: And you are entitled to believing that, but just know that it’s not true.
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Well, I’m sure all of you know that there is one more competitor in this Iron Survivor match who has not been announced yet. After talking to said person last week, we can confirm tonight that they will be participating in the match at Operation: Doomsday!
Richard Grant: So, without further adieu, please welcome the sixth person at this time!
(The crowd goes quiet as they murmur in confusion about who this can be. And after some time… the sounds of ‘Revolution’ by Pennywise begin to blast through the speakers as this only amplifies the confusion here in Maryland.)
Stew-O: ???
Jake Mercer: It can’t be…
(The camera goes over to the stage as DRAKE KING is seen making his way out from the backstage area to an unusually familiar theme. He has an uncharacteristic smile on his face as he raises his hands in the air, the crowd not knowing at all how to respond to this. After some time, he makes his way to the ring.)
Flannery McCoy: Well, we know that Drake King made his first appearance since King of Elite last week on Dynasty and… I don’t know if he’s taking the loss against Minerva well or not; it’s really hard to tell.
Stew-O: Well, it doesn’t change the fact that he is the sixth person in the Iron Survivor match, and it seems like he’s very happy to be here. I have no idea what is happening, but I hope that Drake can explain this somehow.
Jake Mercer: … The legend returns.
(Drake makes his way into the ring with a smile on his face as he heads over to Kensingten and Richard and enthusiastically shakes their hands while ‘Revolution’ begins to come to a close.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Drake King! We are so glad that you have accepted our invitation. How are you feeling???
Drake King: …
(Drake is handed a microphone as he takes a moment to think about what he is going to say before he speaks.)
Drake King: Ok.
(The crowd is even more confused right now as someone has had enough of this.)
Chris Elite: Alright man, what the fuck is going on here? They drug you backstage, Drake?
Drake King: Wow, Chris Elite. A Hall of Famer, it is great to finally be able to meet you. To say that we’re going to be facing each other next week is not something that I could’ve imagined to happen in a million years. Man, just look at all the starpower in this ring.
Chris Elite: https://media1.tenor.com/m/lGraj_0zGYkAAAAd/kyrie-irving.gif
Cy Henderson: This is not the same Drake King who beat me to retain his EAW World Championship. I’m not convinced whatsoever.
Drake King: Beat you? For the EAW World Championship? I wish. Winning a World Championship is definitely on the top of my list, but I’m trying my best to take it slow. I think the New Breed Championship or something like the Interwire Championship is obtainable, but that doesn’t mean that I’m going to back down from this match. Especially with a talent like you in it, Cy Henderson, I can’t let anyone down.
(Drake looks around before landing on Kirk as he approaches him.)
Drake King: I mean, just look at you, Kirk Redwood! Former Unified Tag Team Champion! You’re doing great on Dynasty this season, man. I hope you keep up the momentum because you, just like you do everyone else, inspire me to be better.
(Drake then turns to BRAE.)
Drake King: You too, BRAE. I mean, you are the best example of a great New Breeder who will go on to do great things in his career, that’s for sure. I hope that, at some point, I will be just like you, if not better! But that’s wishful thinking for sure.
(Drake then turns to Hans.)
Drake King: Then Hans, Hans! Man, what an honor it is to be in the ring with you. Look at everything that you’ve done in your career, you’ve done that by standing on your own two feet and being your own man. That’s something that can’t be taught, man. I’m inspired by you, and I hope that I don’t let you down in the ring. I hope that I do ok!
(Drake then turns to the crowd with a bright smile.)
Drake King: I hope I didn’t take up too much of your time, Baltimore. I’ll take my leave now, but I hope that you enjoy the rest of the show tonight.
(Drake throws a hand in the air, trying to get his “Ok” chant going, but while some of the crowd is doing it, a good majority is very confused as ‘Revolution’ begins to play through the speakers of the arena. Drake then drops down and makes his way up the ramp as he high-fives fans in the front row, leaving all the competitors in the ring very confused about what they just witnessed. It’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty then begins to fade to elsewhere.)
(A commercial plays for Operation: Doomsday, featuring the Iron Survivor match making its return at the event!)
(The camera returns back to the ring as everyone from the previous segment except two people have filed out. Cy Henderson and Chris Elite are both seen preparing for their match against one another as they stand across the ring.)
Stephie Love: The following main event contest is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Stephie Love: Introducing first! From Brooklyn, New York! Weighing in at 210 pounds… CHRISSSSSSSS, ELITE!!!
Stew-O: Chris Elite is vying for momentum tonight that could allow him to bounce back from previous main event losses! The Iron Survivor Challenge provides plenty of opportunity for him to get back to the World Championship picture, which can occur with said momentum!
Flannery McCoy: Absolutely, this is exactly what Chris Elite needs to come out of with a win in order to put himself on the best path possible. Although that will be easier said than done, as he’s got quite the test ahead of himself with his opponent tonight, that will provide quite the opposition.
Stephie Love: Introducing his opponent! From New York City, New York, weighing in at 240 pounds… CYYYYYYY HENDERSON!!!
Stew-O: Cy Henderson is intent on becoming World Champion again, and it’s a hill to climb yet attainable for a man of his caliber. Tonight, Cy can prove himself furthermore as Operation: Doomsday looms ahead with the Iron Survivor Challenge!
Jake Mercer: Cy has showcased himself as a dangerous competitor in his own right who is increasingly difficult to take down! Chris Elite is looking to become another elitist to achieve victory against the Hall of Famer! That will be a test for each respective EAW Hall of Famer tonight right here!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: And we’re off! Cy Henderon collides with Chris Elite right here on Friday Night Dynasty, as we can expect an electric encounter between both men tonight ahead of Operation: Doomsday! This is a battle between two EAW Hall of Famers that are each respectively looking to garner as much of their own ground as they can before reality of the Iron Survivor Challenge is able to set itself in! The two men are now pacing themselves around as they may be looking to begin this match at a pace that best suits the both of them here!
Flannery McCoy: As they each engage in a swift collar & elbow tie-up right here to kick the match off! They’re trying to push the other competitor and take this match toward a more sizable matter of control for themselves, but it seems that Cy Henderson is able to gain the strength advantage here as he’s now pushing Chris Elite back against the ropes here with the referee proceeding to count down! Chris Elite is struggling a fair bit here as he’s trying to find some better footing for himself here while the referee is counting down on Cy. Chris is able to breathe after Cy soon backs away, keeping his hands up to let Chris move—
Jake Mercer: But Cy gets his arm around the head of Chris in a hurry to yank him away from the ropes and initiate a headlock takedown! Chris is down on the canvas as Cy is keeping this headlock tightly applied while Elite is unable to get out of the hold! Chris is looking to keep himself from being placed in this headlock for long, as he’s looking for a way out of the hold while Cy is still able to apply this takeover for the time that he has all to his control. Chris is able to muster up enough energy to get a leg around Cy’s head and allow for his head to be locked around his legs!
Stew-O: But Cy immediately pushes himself off from being choked out as Chris was also able to escape from any headlock that could’ve been keeping him down further! Henderson is now bringing himself back up as he’s looking to try and maintain any control that he had—but Chris with a sudden KNIFE EDGE CHOP across the chest of Cy Henderson! The chop is preceded by ANOTHER chop that is now able to cause Cy to stagger back & into the ropes, with Chris continuing to nail each chop across Cy without avail as the referee is counting down and making sure that Cy is being placed through as much of a struggle as possible! Chris refuses to let up as he’s now rushing the ropes and running back toward Cy for the ALMIGHTY PUSH!
Flannery McCoy: CY SIDE STEPS & NAILS A STIFF BACK ELBOW ACROSS THE TEMPLE OF CHRIS! Chris is staggered considerably as he finds himself leaning back and being taken through the storm here with Cy refusing to let up, allowing a strong UPPERCUT to send Chris Elite staggering further and into the corner now! Chris is suffering through quite the tough spell here as Cy is now rushing toward him and looking to nail a sudden FOREARM RIGHT ACROSS HIS JAW AS WELL! Chris is not being placed in the most exemplary position here after all of the pressure that Cy is causing Chris to go through from here!
Jake Mercer: As this is persisting further with each repeated elbow that Cy is laying into the temple of Chris Elite while he is situated against the corner! The referee is counting down as he’s not gonna allow Cy to keep this going unless he is willing to risk a potential disqualification, but Cy is able to alleviate that worry of a premature end to the match by backing himself away! The referee has his handful to say, but Cy ignores him to keep on focusing on Chris Elite, now rushing toward Chris and looking to take him through the same world of hurt yet again with A BOOT—
Stew-O: BUT CHRIS MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AS CY’S BOOT IS SITUATED OVER THE ROPE! Cy is caught up in the corner as Chris was able to roll around and toward the apron to evade the boot, and with Henderson stuck in this vulnerable state that’s more than enough for Chris Elite to SEND AN ENZIGURI SPRAWLING ACROSS THE HEAD OF CY HENDERSON! Cy is dazed by the enziguri as he moves away from the corner, dropping to a knee as he was not taken down for long!
Flannery McCoy: With Chris holding onto the ropes after nailing that enziguri, he’s stood on the apron as he waits for Cy to turn himself around after bringing himself back up to a stance again… AS HE LEAPS UP ONTO THE TOP ROPE BEFORE LAUNCHING ONTO CY HENDERSON WITH A SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE THAT TAKES CY HENDERSON OFF OF HIS OWN TWO FEET! Cy is taken down as Chris rushes himself over to Cy Henderson, hooking that leg from here!
ONEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOO—
Jake Mercer: NOPE! Cy is able to raise the shoulder up! Now Chris is sitting himself up, nodding to himself as there will have to be far more left to be done in order to be able to put Cy Henderson down for good tonight! Chris is dragging Cy back up to his feet, with a wrist held when pulling him upward as he’s now looking to summon upon all of his strength possible in order to find a way to put Cy back down and bring this win home! Chris hoists Cy over his own shoulders, as it’s not long before Elite seeks out ‘MOMENT OF CLARITY’—
Stew-O: Cy is squirming free from this carry that Chris had imposed onto Henderson, as Cy is now backing himself away while Chris is turning himself back down to face Henderson! Chris aims to swing forward and take Cy back down—BUT CY DUCKS AS CHRIS IS UNABLE TO TAKE HIM DOWN! Followed by Chris turning himself around and raising his arm to aim for another swing here as well—
Flannery McCoy: BUT A LARIAT FROM CY HENDERSON IS ENOUGH TO PUT CHRIS ELITE DOWN!! Chris is dropped right where he stood as Cy is now crawling himself over to Chris, making sure that he can hook the leg as the referee slides himself over for the cover!
ONEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOO—
Jake Mercer: Not enough! Chris with the kick out!! Cy is rising upward to his crouched position as he’s situating himself by Chris, and sending clobbering blows down onto his upper back as Chris is trying to shield himself! Henderson is looking to keep Chris Elite at bay for as long as he can while mounting up further offense in the way of his direction! Cy is now dragging Chris upward and against the corner, before nailing swift rights across his abdomen to keep Chris at bay here!
Stew-O: Cy Henderson is surely doing a good enough job at keeping Chris Elite under immense pressure as this match continues to pick up for as long as it needs to on his end! Cy is now placing Chris upward and over to the top turnbuckle, keeping to all of the offense he’s been able to dish out as he’s now sending repeated punches across the skull of Chris Elite! This is not turning out for the better when it comes to all of the strife Chris is being placed through, and this is just an appetizer for what’s to come within the Iron Survivor Challenge as well!
Flannery McCoy: As Cy Henderson is now rising up to the very top of the turnbuckle alongside Chris Elite, and he’s getting his arm around his neck as he’s got a hold of his tights, looking to send Chris through the impact of a lifetime here! He’s gonna aim to bring him back down onto that canvas with an incoming maneuver, TRYING TO HOIST HIM FOR THE SUPERPLEX FROM THE TOP!
Jake Mercer: But Chris stops himself as he keeps his foot around the bottom of the turnbuckle! Cy is trying to hoist him upward but Chris Elite is refusing to cave in and be taken through that! Now Chris is sending repeated punches across the abdomen of Cy, keeping him at bay before sending an uppercut across his jaw to knock him back a bit! Henderson is trying to hold on here, with his hand on the rope as he’s keeping his balance—‘TILL CHRIS WITH A KICK TO THE CHEST CAUSES CY HENDERSON TO DROP ONTO THE MAT!!
Stew-O: Leaving Cy in a very bad spot here as he’s laid out across the mat! Chris realizes that this opens a new window of opportunity for himself here as he’s now rising up to the top of the turnbuckle, and as he’s got Cy Henderson right where he needs him as well! Chris is up on the top and before long.. HE LEAPS OFF WITH A FROG SPLASH ONTO CY HENDERSON! Cy is down and out as Chris is able to hook the leg, the referee makes the count!
ONEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOO!!!
THR—
Flannery McCoy: NOPE! Still not enough! Cy Henderson is able to remain in this match as Chris is sitting himself up, shaking his own head here as he’s trying to do anything that he can to take up this victory over the multi-time World Champion here in EAW! Chris is bringing himself back up, and he’s dragging Cy over to the ropes, leaning him back against the bottom rope as he’s now proceeding to stomp down repeatedly into the chest of Cy! Each stomp looking to cave into his chest for as much as he possibly can while the referee is counting down on Chris to halt the offense against the ropes!
Jake Mercer: As Chris finally backs away from Cy when the referee nears that five count! But he’s still maintaining all of the pressure here as Cy is looking to continue to make good out of the consciousness he’s got, emerging from those ropes and up to his feet by pulling himself up! But Chris is now rushing toward him as he’s looking to take him down with a DROPKICK—BUT CY CAUGHT HIS FOOT! Cy caught his foot as he’s able to yank Chris up and onto his feet before getting his arms around Chris Elite and LOOKING FOR A SWIFT GERMAN SUPLEX!!!
Stew-O: BUT CHRIS FLIPS OVER AND LANDS ON HIS FEET! Cy is wide eyed as he’s trying to emerge back up to his feet and react quickly enough to continue applying his own pressure against Chris—BUT CHRIS WITH ‘SNOOZE’!! A SPECIAL UPPERCUT THAT KNOCKS CY AWAY AND INTO THE ROPES! Henderson is dazed as he’s now stumbling away from the ropes and moving forward toward Chris Elite as he’s left in a bad way here—
Flannery McCoy: AS CY DROPS CHRIS ELITE WITH A BIG BOOT AFTER REBOUNDING FROM THE ROPES!! Chris is stunned by the boot as he’s perching himself back up to his knees, clutching on his jaw while Cy is able to keep himself on his feet following the big boot! Henderson reacts soon enough to drag Chris Elite upward and soon is able to lift Chris Elite upward here, hoisting him off from the mat as the strength is on full display from Cy Henderson tonight in the face of this match!
Jake Mercer: AS CY IS ABLE TO BRING CHRIS ELITE DOWN WITH THE MILITARY PRESS POWERSLAM!!! Chris is sent crashing onto the canvas as Cy is more than capable of putting Chris down, now hooking the leg from there as the referee slides to the count!
ONEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOO!!!
THR—
Stew-O: NOT ENOUGH! CHRIS WITH THE KICK OUT!! Cy is now sitting himself up once more, breathing a bit heavily as he’s looking to see what can be done next in order to put Chris Elite down?
Flannery McCoy: Uh? Why is the audience reacting elsewhere all of the sudden??
(The crowd’s responses become alarming as another figure can be seen nonchalantly walking along the ramp, taking a look toward the match taking place.)
Jake Mercer: IT’S DRAKE KING! What the hell is Drake King doing here?!?? He has completely thrown off the flow of this match as Cy is now looking toward Drake King! But Drake is just remaining on the outside, not involving himself directly into this ongoing main event as the match continues to roll on! Cy is bringing his attention back toward Chris Elite!
Stew-O: As Cy is now dragging Chris back up to his feet and looking to hoist him up and over his shoulders, as it’s looking like Cy Henderson wants to give this match the proper closure that it deserves by SENDING CHRIS DOWN ONTO THE MAT WITH ‘DOWNWARD SPIRAL’ FOR GOOD MEASURE—
Flannery McCoy: BUT CHRIS ELITE SQUIRMS FREE AND ENDS UP LANDING BEHIND CY—AS HE SENDS A SWIFT KICK TO THE BACK OF HIS KNEE! This causes Cy to buckle his knee as he has to drop down to one knee! Chris is bringing himself to a proper stance as he’s now rushing toward the ropes, and finds himself running back and toward Cy Henderson as he’s now GOT HIM RIGHT WHERE HE NEEDS HIM HERE!
Jake Mercer: ‘OPEN YA MATA’ V-TRIGGERRRRR!!! CY IS ROCKED CONSIDERABLY THERE AS HE’S SLUMPING DOWNWARD!! But I don’t believe that’s enough for Chris Elite to put Cy away! He’s eagerly backing away while Cy Henderson is trying to keep himself from going down to the mat completely! This is becoming quite the struggle for Cy here but Chris Elite is not done!
Stew-O: AS THE ‘OPP SPOTTER’ CONNECTS!! CY IS DOWN ON THE MAT AS CHRIS ELITE IS NOW RUSHING TO THE COVER AFTER TWO IMMENSE MANEUVERS BACK TO BACK!!!!
ONEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOO!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEE—
Flannery McCoy: NO! CY KICKS OUT! Chris is shaking his own head vigorously as he’s now bringing himself back up, looking to take Cy’s head off as he drags him up to a seated position as well!! Chris backs himself away before RUSHING IN FOR ‘BOX OFFICE SMASH’—
Jake Mercer: CY EMERGES UPWARD IN A HURRY WITH THE ‘CYCLONE LARIAT’!!!! DISCUS LARIAT FROM CY HENDERSON IS ABLE TO PUT CHRIS ELITE DOWN AS CY IMMEDIATELY HOOKS THE LEG!!!
ONEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOO!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEE—
Stew-O: KICK OUT!!! CHRIS IS ALIVE! Cy is now rushing himself upward, as he’s moving toward the corner, preparing for the next step in putting Chris Elite away! He’s preparing for the ‘CALAMITY’!
(Drake King suddenly walks up directly to Cy Henderson while he’s situated in the corner, applauding him as Cy can’t help but turn his attention to Drake. The slight laugh follows from Drake King as he continues to clap directly before Cy.)
Flannery McCoy: Uh, Cy’s attention has been taken to the applause of Drake King! Drake is just clapping for Cy, as he must’ve been impressed by the Cyclone Lariat! BUT CHRIS IS GROGGILY UP ON HIS FEET, AND CY LOCKS BACK IN ONTO CHRIS AS HE RUSHES FORWARD FOR ‘CALAMITY’—
Jake Mercer: ‘BOX OFFICE SMASH’!!!! CHRIS JUST CAUGHT CY WITH THE HOUSE CALL IN THE MIDST OF HIS GORE!!! CHRIS EAGERLY HOOKS THE LEG!!!!
ONEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOO!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNERRRRR… CHRIS ELITE!!!
Stew-O: Chris is able to garner the win over the EAW Hall of Famer after the assist from Drake King! That was quite the assist at that, playing off with the applause to capture the attention of Cy!
Flannery McCoy: Not how I ever expected the match to go, and I’m certain this greatly upsets Cy seeing as those extra seconds matter in matches of this level!
(While Chris Elite has his hand raised by the referee, Cy Henderson is livid following the defeat. Drake King can be seen continuing to provide the applause, as Cy soon glances toward Drake with malice detected within his expression.)
Cy Henderson: (off-mic) Get the hell out of here…
(Drake freezes for a moment, stopping the applause as he was glaring toward Cy.)
Drake King: (off-mic) ….
…
…
Drake King: (off-mic) Ok.
(Drake King proceeds to walk away from there, as Cy Henderson’s eyebrows raise in confusion afterward while the hint of anger remains. Chris Elite can’t help but look toward Drake as well, confused in his own right as Drake continued to walk away without a second thought.)
Jake Mercer: Uh…?
Flannery McCoy: How exactly do we explain that??
Stew-O: Well, that’s a challenge in itself. Congrats to Chris Elite nonetheless…
(The scene fades as the air of confusion continues to spread throughout the atmosphere.)
(A commercial plays for Operation: Doomsday, where Joso defends the EAW World Heavyweight Championship against Minerva.)
(Live on Dynasty, the cameras cut to the ring, where a long black table sits in the center, draped with a velvet cloth. Two chairs are positioned on opposite sides, and a clipboard with a contract is placed in the middle. The EAW World Heavyweight Championship gleams under the arena lights. Standing behind the table is Stew-O, microphone in hand, his expression neutral but with an air of anticipation.)
Stew-O: Ladies and gentlemen, we are just a few weeks away from Operation: Doomsday, and tonight, we make it official. The contract will be signed, and at Operation: Doomsday, the EAW World Heavyweight Championship will be on the line as Joso takes on Minerva!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
(Stew-O smiles at the enthusiasm being shown from the fans.)
Stew-O: Speaking of whom, we might as well get to business! Let me first introduce the challenger—she is a former Universal Women’s Champion, EAW World Champion, a decorated competitor with nothing left to prove, yet everything to take, and someone who has made it known that she isn’t going to be slowing down all because she is a hall of famer. After putting to bed the bad blood issues she’s had with Drake King at King of Elite, she earned this opportunity that she will be having next week. Of course, I am talking about none other than MINERVA!
(‘Blood, Milk and Sky’ by White Zombie hits the speakers, causing the fans to roar with a fearsome wave of cheers. Minerva’s saunters out, smiling curtly as she acknowledges the warm reception shown her way. Dressed in all black, from the slightly off-the-shoulder top to the black skirt and Doc Martins, she makes her way to the ring, enters it and takes her seat. A brief nod is given to Stew-O to acknowledge his presence.)
Stew-O: And now, the champion… he has made his mission for a new era in EAW known since the very day he debuted. He has always been to watch, and someone who has lived up to every bit of the hype he’s gotten and more. Now, he’s a world champion, but will he continue to be that once Operation: Doomsday wraps up? Ladies and gentlemen, please join me and welcoming JOSO!
(‘2024’ by Playboi Carti plays. Of course, the fans go crazy. Joso struts out, wearing a white, casual button down with slacks and brown and gold loafers, signature shades on deck as well. He raises the championship belt high above his head, a confident smirk plastered across his face as he makes his way to the ring. Getting in, the energy is electric, especially with Joso giving Minerva a long, assessing look before taking his seat across from her.
Stew-O: Alright. Now, with the two of you here, of course, everyone can only imagine what is going through your minds heading into this blockbuster of a world championship match. So, Minerva, how about we start with you before we start with the signing?
(Minerva leans forward slightly, taking up the mic.
The crowd holds its breath, anticipating her response.)
Minerva: You know, Stew, I love the way you paint a picture—like you’re some kind of artist with words. But what I see in front of me isn’t just a canvas. It’s a battleground. Joso may have held that title with pride and has done wonderful as champion, but now, it is my time to shine once more underneath the bright lights of glory’s fortune. This season has taken its toll on me in more ways than one. I have had to deal with a lot. A part of me is forever changed because of that. However… I have been able to weather that storm. I saw the light in the tunnel even when I was threatened to be consumed by the darkness all around me. Now, instead of a broken woman, I am a testament to resilience. I made it through the glass shards, and though I have bled, I remain standing. I was able to put down Drake King once and for all, forcing him to become… whatever sort of identity this is now, and with him in the rear view, I can once again look towards the future and remain optimistic.
Minerva: However, Joso, I’m afraid nothing but anguish awaits for you.
Minerva: You may find yourself basking in the accolades and attention that come with being champion, but remember this: titles may shine, but they can also blind. You might think you have everything under control, but that’s precisely where the danger lies, and when it comes to me? You can’t be too safe. You’ve proven yourself, but I am the single biggest name you’ve faced yet not just as champion, but in the entirety of your career here as well. And though I am not the haughty and braggadocious type, it is the truth that so many people see me and know that more often than not, I am able to walk away with the gold. Even through this major transformation, I haven’t changed in that regard. I shed myself of old history, and I plan on creating a new one once I become the first-ever female Elitist to be the EAW World Heavyweight Champion.
(Stew-O nods, appreciating Minerva’s passionate words as the crowd erupts into cheers and applause. He turns to Joso, who leans back in his chair, a confident grin spreading across his face as he takes a moment to absorb Minerva’s proclamation.)
Stew-O: Strong words from the challenger. Joso, how do you respond?
(Joso adjusts his shades, tilting his head slightly to regard Minerva with an amused expression.)
Joso: Minerva, I hear you. I really do. You’ve faced your demons, and I commend you for that, just like I said last week. It’s admirable you were able to push through all that mess and be here. However, I also meant it when I said you aren’t going to be taking this away from me. You want to talk about history, but I got plenty more to make myself, baby, and if that means I gotta knock you down in order to get ahead? Then imma do just that. After all,
’ve been carving my own path since day one, and every person I’ve faced has only prepared me for this moment. You want to talk about resilience? How about becoming a world champion while juggling the weight of expectations from fans and critics alike?
Minerva: I’ve been through the same thing.
Joso: And you have, but that doesn’t mean we’re on the same level. You see, I’m not just a champion; I’m a phenomenon. You’ve been in this game long enough to know that titles come and go, but legacy? That’s eternal. And while you’ve spent years building your own legacy, I’m already in the process of solidifying mine. I’m doing ‘good’ so far, but I wanna be great. I wanna be the best. I want for my own legacy in this sport and promotion to be solidified, and that means that next weekend? I’m STILL going to walk out the world heavyweight champion.
Crowd: JO-SO! JO-SO! JO-SO!
(Minerva leans back slightly, her expression unfazed as she processes Joso’s confident retort.)
Minerva: I can respect that. Though, I will admit I do not see myself losing to you. Not when I have literally crawled and bled to get to this position once more.
Joso: Fair enough. But I crawled and bled too to win this title. I had to go through so much of my own hell to even make it here. We’re in the same boat, at least. Still, it ain’t gonna end with you at the top. This is a new era, and frankly, Minerva…
(Joso grabs the pen and signs his name along the dotted lines of the contract.)
Joso: … we don’t really need you like that at the helm of it no more.
(The crowd lets out some ‘oooooohs’. Minerva digests his words.)
Minerva: Don’t need me like that anymore…
(She chuckles.)
Minerva: Perhaps. However, this isn’t about what anyone wants—this is about me. This is about getting what I want more than anything else right now, and what I want is THAT championship. You have all the love and adulation, and great, I’m happy for you because you deserve it, but I also deserve another run at the top. I deserve to still be at the forefront of whatever era there is, because I have been able to withstand and persevere through so much in the seven years I have been here, and I am not going to walk out of Boston empty-handed. Not when I… not when I deserve just the littlest bit of happiness…
(She takes a deep breath, the weight of her words hanging in the air like a storm cloud ready to burst. Joso blinks, surprised by the candid expression. However, before he speaks, Minerva takes the contract and signs along it as well.)
Minerva: That’s all, Joso. Winning the title will bring a genuine smile to my face that I haven’t had in months. However, I do not need pity. All I need is for you to understand that I am not going down without a fight.
Joso: … Okay. Cool. Well, neither am I.
(Joso nods, holding onto the title firmly.)
Joso: Just be prepared to wait a little longer before you can smile again, though, ‘cause this is it.
Minerva: I suppose we shall see, won’t we? But frankly, I’ve waited enough.
(She stands, looking at him.)
Minerva: And I’m ready to take what I want and need.
(Joso stands as well, smirking.)
Joso: Then you better not miss your chance. Otherwise? It’s gonna be me standing over you.
(A friendly yet intense cackle of tension flicker between the two.)
Minerva: Oh, Joso. You’ll have to drag me to Hell and keep me there if you want to win.
(And there was… something a little icy about how she said that. Joso picks up on it, raising a brow. However, Stew-O cuts in, looking over the contract.)
Stew-O: And everything is signed and sealed! It is official! Joso! Minerva! Who walks away with the biggest prize on Dynasty!?
(The fans go crazy again for both Elitists, eliciting dueling chants. The final shot shows off Joso and Minerva staring at each other before Friday Night Dynasty fades to black.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
