(EAW intro plays.)
(As per a recap of last week’s episode of Friday Night Dynasty begins to play: A confrontation between World Heavyweight Champion Limmy Monaghan and his challenger Myles kicks off the show, only to be interrupted by Andre Walker who demands to be added to the match. While Limmy and Myles look close to agreeing, they’re interrupted by Bronson Daniels who comes out to confront Andre, before revealing that he’s strapped up Albert Hitchman and kidnapped him somewhere, causing Andre to dash away. Shane Gates beats Valerie Hellstorm. PJ Hendrx is interrupted by Shane Gates, Jay Jerry Johnson, and Keoga Leosa, all three making a statement for the Interwire Championship. While he accepts Shane’s challenge, he makes Jay and Keoga fight for the final spot later in the night. Delilah Rose beats Morray Turner. Off-Brand Amphetamines have an interview talking about their Pain For Pride match and their aspirations of becoming 2x Unified Tag Team Champions. Sienna Jade talks with Tyrone Montgomery and they agree due to her and Kass’ busy schedules that they are going to drop out of the tag match at PFP, and Tyrone gives Sienna a match against Cameron Ella Ava at the Marquee Event. Mei Sasaki beats Bea Valentine. Caroline gives a warning to anyone on any brand that if they want the New Breed Championship then they can come get it, but it’s not going to turn out their way. Joso demands a qualifying match for the Cash in The Vault match at Pain For Pride. Jay Jerry Johnson makes quick work of Keoga Leosa to be added to the Interwire Championship match. Serenity Valdez brags about Cameron and Sienna’s implosion, only to be interrupted by Specialists Champion Milli Banks who has unfinished business with her and challenges her to a match at Pain For Pride, which Serenity accepts. Madison Kaline comes out to the ring and talks about her confrontation with ARIA before inviting her to next week’s Dynasty to talk this out like grown women. Madison then beats Jamie Cross. Visual Prophet calls out Scott Diamond to the ring after what happened at Super Dynasty, and when Scott comes out the two of them have a back-and-forth before Scott lets Viz off with a stern warning. Then in the main event, Andre Walker costs Bronson Daniels his Cash in The Vault qualifying match, allowing Ruler to get the victory over Bronson and Axel Graves to stamp his ticket to Pain For Pride, ending the show and the recap.)
(Friday Night Dynasty then transitions away from the recap and goes straight toward the stage, with ‘Run This Town (ft. Rihanna)’ by Jay-Z being heard playing through the speakers of the arena. The crowd responds with jeers and boos while the camera focuses on an ecstatic Serenity Valdez beginning to make her way out to the stage. She cackles while embracing the reaction toward her tonight, soaking it all in before then looking toward the ring. She takes a moment to smirk, clearly having something on her mind with her being out here right now, as she then begins to make her way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… THE 2023 EMPRESS OF ELITE!!!!!!!!!! SERENITY VALDEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Well welcome to Friday Night Dynasty everyone and it seems like tonight we’re kicking this off with the Empress of Elite! Last week, Serenity definitely had some words regarding the growing conflict between Cameron Ella Ava and Sienna Jade. With her biggest enemies being pitted against one another, she was of the belief that absolutely nobody would be able to stop her. That of course was not taking into account that someone else would make themselves known, putting it out there that they had some unfinished business with Serenity.
Flannery McCoy: Specialists Champion Milli Banks, even though finding her own success these past couple of months, has always found herself with this chip on her shoulder knowing that she has never been able to get a win over Serenity. She’s gotten the better of her and The Queen Bees on a handful of occasions, but now finally looks to right her wrongs with a big time non-title matchup at Pain For Pride, which of course Serenity accepted. Now Serenity is out here tonight to speak on this turn of events and who knows what she’s going to end up saying.
Jake Mercer: The LONG TERM STORYTELLING GUYS! This is what professional wrestling is about! We love when stories come to a close, especially at Pain For Pride! This is one I just can’t wait for!
(Serenity makes her way up the steel steps, standing on the apron and looking out to the crowd, putting a thumbs down while they continue to boo her. She then turns around and enters the ropes before making her way over and snatching a microphone from the timekeeper’s area. ‘Run This Town’ begins to come to a close while Serenity stands at the center of the ring, beginning to speak while the crowd begins to quiet down.)
Serenity Valdez: Wow, you idiots in Biloxi, Mississippi are loud tonight, aren’t you?
(The crowd once again boos while Serenity begins to laugh.)
Serenity Valdez: Well good, I’m glad you realize that I’m the only interesting part of this show to pay attention to. No worries! Once I leave you guys can turn off your TVs, leave the arena, whatever, just know that right now I got something on my mind and that’s the ONLY thing you should be paying attention to. It was a real joy coming out to the ring last week and reaping the benefits of my success watching Cameron and Sienna implode and fight one another, but it’s been made clear that things are not over just yet for your Empress of Elite. Now I’ll admit, it is a bit crummy that I’m not going to be able to cash in my guaranteed Universal Women’s Championship shot anytime soon. But, I can look past that if it means getting rid of the one parasite that has been leeching off of me and my success since last year now, and that’s Milli Banks.
(The crowd cheers upon hearing the Specialists Champion’s name, to which Serenity rolls her eyes in response.)
Serenity Valdez: She’s too much of a COWARD to come out here tonight so I’d rather all of you just zip it and let me continue speaking thank you very much. Yeah I know, massive downgrade, facing the “Champion” who’s holding the title that hasn’t had relevance since I held it, but if you’ve been through the bull that I have since I first laid my eyes on this woman, you understand just how much I want to get this over with, and I see no better way to do that than at Pain For Pride. Milli thinks that this is her story, that this is the fairytale ending that she is meant to get and that’s slaying the big bad Serenity Valdez. But unfortunately for her, she’ll realize soon enough that this isn’t some fantasy that she gets to live out, this is reality. And the reality is that she’s living in my world, and she’s playing by my rules, and those states that I rule above all! No if’s and but’s about it, and Milli Banks will always have a shadow casted over her, reminding her just how much better I am compared to her!
Serenity Valdez: Now of course I’ll get to why I’m out here, because surely you didn’t expect me to just run down this poor woman to kick off Dynasty when I could’ve just done that any given day of the week. No, no, I want to do just a little more to up the ante. Milli, I’ve grown quite bored of you these past couple of months, this same song and dance has been played before over and over again and I think we all know how that usually ends. I want this to be more than just some stinky little grudge match, and that comes with more than just her putting her title on the line, I don’t want nor need her title so she can save it. I want to raise the stakes, and by raising the stakes I mean adding a stipulation to this match-
(Before Serenity can continue, ‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj feat. Lil Wayne begins to play through the speakers of the arena. The crowd cheers while she has an annoyed look on her face, the camera going over to show the Specialists Champion Milli Banks begin to make her way out to the stage. She has an intrigued look on her face with a microphone already in hand as she slowly makes her way down the ramp. She signals for ‘Changed It’ to come to a close as she begins to speak.)
Milli Banks: Whew, chile girl, let’s not get too ahead of ourselves here. If you were going to do all of this, then why didn’t you invite your friend Big Bills Mills out too? Now I was going to let you speak, because it’s clear you need a dedicated time slot to rub your ego and why waste my time trying to encourage allat? But now you’ve caught my attention saying you want to up the ante, that you want to add a lil stipulation to our match. Well, I’m here now, so let’s hear it, what you got for us sis?
(Milli climbs up onto the apron, leaning against the ropes and patiently waiting for Serenity’s answer.)
Serenity Valdez: You have some nerve coming out here, you know that right?
Milli Banks: Yup.
(Serenity takes a deep breath before looking over at Milli once again.)
Serenity Valdez: 30-minute No Disqualification Ironwoman Match, ‘Karma’s End’.
(The crowd roars in excitement for this, while Milli nods her head, impressed by what Serenity has come up with.)
Milli Banks: Color me shocked, you *do* know how to keep a girl interested. You woman enough to shake on it? Cause I’m down if you down.
(Milli enters into the ring, holding out her hand while Serenity looks down at it in disgust. She looks back up at Milli… before brushing past her, having a small smirk on her face while she does so. Milli nods her head before bringing her microphone back up again.)
Milli Banks: Oh that’s alright sis, I’ll see you at ‘Karma’s End’, where it will truly mark the end of Serenity Valdez once and for all.
(Milli drops her microphone down to the ground while ‘Changed It’ is heard beginning to play up once again. Serenity can’t help but feel some sort of way behind all the arrogance she was showing, trash-talking Milli off mic while she takes her leave away from the ring. Milli isn’t afraid to respond, yelling back and begging her back into the ring if she really means it. Serenity is not in the mood for that though, heading up the ramp as the last shot seen is the two rivals eyeing one another while Friday Night Dynasty begins to fade elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for Pain For Pride featuring Specialists Champion Milli Banks and Empress of Elite Serenity Valdez.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Stephie Love: And it is a six-person TAG TEAM MATCH!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Stephie Love: Introducing first…
(‘Mountains’ by Coi Leray hits. Valerie Hellstorm, Delilah Rose, and Bea Valentine come out. Three ego-centric women, yet for one night, they get to team together for a potential win. The collective make their way down the entrance ramp as the crowd boos them.)
Stephie Love: The team of BEA VALENTINE, DELILAH ROSE, AND VALERIE HELLLLSTOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRM!
Stew-O: Cocky, or ambitious? That’s the question that comes to mind with these three. However, this trio wants to make a name for themselves, and tonight could provide them the chance to do just that as they are set to take on the three men who will be duking it out for the Interwire Championship at Pain for Pride.
Jake Mercer: It’s an exciting prospect to think about! And considering that we have the talented Valerie Hellstorm here who has yet to win a match, this could be the big break she needs to solidify herself here in EAW. After all, when you’ve got three future goats scouting you out, you’ve got to look as sharp as possible! I could very well see here being a member of the Queen Bees.
Flannery McCoy: Maybe, but what’s more important here is for Bea, Delilah, and Valerie to get some momentum on their side. Bea lost her last match which has caused her to… start anew, I guess. Even if that includes just forgetting that match occurred altogether. And Delilah has had some bumps along the way, but she’s looking to elevate herself as well.
(The three get in the ring as they do their respective poses. They get on the apron as ‘DNA’ BY Kendrick Lamar plays. PJ Hendrx, the Interwire Champion, steps out along with Shane Gates and Jay Jerry Johnson. The unlikely team remains determined even in spite of any budding issues. They head down and get inside the ring, with the champ posing in the center with his gold.)
Stephie Love: Annnnnnnnnnnd introducing their opponents! The team of Jay Jerry Johnson, Shane Gates, and the EAW Interwire Champion… PJJJJJJ HEEEEEEEEEENDRXXXX!!
Stew-O: People have had their worries about any possible dysfunction, but Shane, PJ, and Jay have assured confidently throughout the week that they can work together. Now, it’s a matter of seeing that cohesion in action.
Jake Mercer: It’s nothing new, and more often than not, there’s something that goes wrong. Still, I hope these three can buckle down so that they don’t risk jeopardizing the impressive amount of momentum they all have been able to gather for themselves. Now wouldn’t be a good time for them to let everything crumble and fall apart.
Flannery McCoy: Couldn’t agree more. Even if it’s for one night, I do hope these three are able to maintain their promises and work through this match together, regardless of the outcome. A win would be preferable, of course, but if they can get through without any issues, then at least they can kill any doubts people have about them being on the same page. Besides, they’re all going to Pain for Pride. They just need to remain sharp and strong heading into it.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: This match is underway! Jay Jerry Johnson is starting off against Valerie Hellstorm, who is already looking to take the fight to him! She closes the distance and tees off with forearm after forearm, bringing a whole lot of fire into this!
Jake Mercer: She and Jay had some noteworthy choice words toward each other, so this shouldn’t come as any surprise! She catches him with a spinning back kick to the gut and follows that up with a knee to the face! Jay stands back up as Valerie runs to the ropes! On the rebound, she gets him with a clothesline–
Flannery McCoy: But Jay Jerry Johnson grabs that attacking arm, turning her momentum against her! Arm drag! Valeria pops back up, but she’s met with a dropkick! Johnson is finding his groove as he picks her up in the air! Suplex! Valerie is down on the mat, and now, Jay hits the ropes!
Stew-O: He goes for an elbow drop — but Valerie moves out of the way! She sits up, and Jay rushes at her! Penalty kick! NO! SHE FALLS BACK, AND IN THE PROCESS, BRINGS HIM DOWN WITH A SCHOOLGIRL PIN! WE GET A COVER!
ONE–
Jake Mercer: Jay kicks out, and he’s going after her! He gets her with a quick-thinking roll-up attempt of his own! Cover!
ONE–
Flannery McCoy: Kickout! Valerie rolls over and catches Jay on the head with a kick! She gets up and grabs him by the head! SNAP DDT! She floats over and presses his shoulders down into the mat! Another cover here!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE–
Stew-O: And Jay Jerry Johnson is able to get a shoulder up. Valerie, who is looking to get the first impressive win of her career here, moves quickly, floating over to capture her opponent in a side headlock! Looks like she’s making a note to target that part of Jay so that she can wear him down as much as possible. A follow-up like that after a DDT may do the trick here.
Jake Mercer: Don’t blame her one bit. It’s a sound strategy, and we all know that Valerie has been seeking a win for a good while now. Not only that, but she’s managed to attract the attention of the Queen Bees, and she hopes to impress them enough to join their ranks!
Flannery McCoy: Ugh. Of course, she would. I don’t think she should try to be in their graces of all people, but getting a win over the Interwire champion and two of his upcoming challengers would put plenty of eyes on her.
Stew-O: It no doubt would. However, Jay is already making his way back up to his feet. Valerie goes to send a knee to his gut, but that’s blocked! He takes the leg and shoves her back! Valerie comes back in, but she’s sent down with a DISCUS FOREARM! What a SHOT! She goes stumbling into her corner as Jay backs up into his. He could be going for another attack–
(*TAG!*)
Jake Mercer: But Delilah Rose is the legal competitor now! She steps on in, and that briefly halts Triple J’s momentum. Valerie herself seems a bit surprised by the tag, but she… isn’t making any arguments! She just steps out, trying to gather her bearings after taking such a stiff shot. I think she realizes it would be wiser for her to work together with her partners rather than to oppose them. Good exercise too for when she comes a Queen Bee herself!
Flannery McCoy: Potentially, at least. And hopefully, for her sake, it won’t happen. However, everyone has been wondering whether Shane, PJ, and Jay could be a cohesive unit together, and while all three Elitists have said that they plan on working together, it’s hard to imagine that those tensions are buried completely. If Valerie, Delilah, and Bea can exploit those cracks, then they have a good chance of winning this!
Stew-O: Delilah and Jay meet up in the center, and they come together, joining in a fierce tie-up! Delilah seems to turn and twist on Jay’s arm, looking to switch over into an arm wrench. She gets it! She wrings the arm again, but Jay rolls forward and pops back up, spinning on his feet! He’s able to twist his arm away from her hands and pulls her head in! Standing switch sidelock! We’ve got some skilled technical work being on displayed here by both competitors, with not a single fluid motion being wasted here!
Jake Mercer: We are, but now, Jay is looking for that control! However, Delilah wraps around his waist and pushes him towards the ropes! Jay backs up–
(*TAG!*)
Flannery McCoy: Delilah sends Jay running across the ring! She goes for a clothesline! However, Jay ducks! She spins around and–
Stew-O: SHANE GATES WITH A CLOTHESLINE, FLIPPING HER INSIDE OUT! HE’S THE LEGAL ELITIST OF HIS TEAM! AND WHAT AN ENTRY FOR HIM IN THIS MATCH!
Jake Mercer: Jay looks confused for a moment, but the referee tells him that he isn’t legal anymore! Jay looks over at Shane, and he pretty much tells him to get out of here! Johnson looks annoyed but he relents, stepping out to the apron.
Flannery McCoy: I think some of that tension is already coming into play here. :lupe: It wasn’t like Jay was in any immediate danger either.
Stew-O: Whatever the reason may be, the veteran Shane Gates is in this match – and his presence has been made known immediately! He gets her up and FLINGS her into the corner. Shane comes in and starts to hammer away with multitudes of body blows coming her way! Delilah is doing the best that she can to protect herself, but those punches are hitting their mark! She’s gonna need to find her way out of this before more damage can be done!
Jake Mercer: Yeah, Shane Gates is no slouch! He is one intense competitor, and now that he has a title match on the horizon, he’s looking to make sure that everyone, even his partners, knows that he is a threat to be reckoned with by the time Pain for Pride rolls around!
Flannery McCoy: Shane backs up before coming back in, driving his knee into her gut! Delilah slinks down to a seated position! Shane takes more steps back, ready to get the ball rolling! He rushes forward, ready to take her HER HEAD CLEAN OFF WITH A RUNNING FACE WASH–
Stew-O: DELILAH MOVES! SHE GETS AWAY FROM HIM, CAUSING SHANE TO MISS! He awkwardly collides with the corner and stumbles back, but right behind him is Rose! She strikes him down with a chop block! He drops to a knee! Now, she grabs him by the arms and pulls back… BEFORE USING HER FOOT TO SHOVE HIS FACE INTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE PADDING! Shane Gates covers his face, trying to get back up, but he’s being pinned to the mat!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE–
Jake Mercer: Kickout! Still, Delilah did a good job in just evading Shane, but cutting him down as well. Now, she gets her chance to soften him up some more. She stomps down repeatedly on his leg, being as vicious as she can be! Shane uses his free foot to kick her away, and for a moment, it does before she marches back toward him. She bounces off of the bottom rope, and COMES BACK DOWN WITH A STOMP! That extra bit of elevation is sure to hurt him!
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, but Shane is tough! He’s trying to force his way back up… but Delilah hits the ropes! She strikes him with a running knee to the face! She rolls him away from the ropes and towards the middle, dropping down for a pin!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
T–
Stew-O: KICKOUT! Delilah seems to be getting annoyed, but with an Elitist like Shane Gates, a competitor isn’t going to get an easy win like that over him. She grabs him by the head and leads him back up. She strikes him with a punch! Then another one! A back elbow lands flush against the side of his head… and SHANE RESPONDS WITH A PUNCH OF HIS OWN! HE STRIKES HER WITH AN UPPERCUT! AND HE GOES FOR THE TRIFECTA AS HE COMES IN WITH A HAYMAKER–
Jake Mercer: BUT HIS EFFORTS A STOPPED WITH A WELL-PLACED KICK TO THE KNEE! He drops down and Delilah Rose smirks! She hits the ropes and comes back on the rebound–
Flannery McCoy: SPINEBUSTER! THAT JUST ROCKED THE ENTIRE RING! DELILAH IS LAID OUT AS SHANE STUMBLES BACK TOWARD HIS CORNER! What a maneuver! Maybe he can capitalize once he’s finished checking out his leg–
(*TAG!*)
Stew-O: !! But he isn’t going to be afforded that chance as the Interwire Champion himself hops over the ropes! And Shane does NOT look happy! He argues with PJ that he was doing just fine and didn’t need his help so soon!
Jake Mercer: But PJ isn’t pressed. All he does is shrugs and smile at his partner! That doesn’t go well with Shane, but he has no choice but to step out of the ring! It could be a controversial decision on the part of the champ, but I don’t blame him. It looked like Delilah was going to soften up Shane Gates and go after that leg and knee that she had been working on quickly. He may not be in dire straits, but PJ isn’t willing to take any chances here. He wants to win!
Flannery McCoy: AND HE LOOKS TO DO JUST THAT AS HE COMES RUNNING IN WITH A RUNNING SHOOTING STAR PRESS ONTO DELILAH ROSE! INCREDIBLE ATHLETICISM THERE!
Stew-O: AND HE ISN’T DONE! HE CLEARS VALERIE AND BEA OFF OF THE APRON! WOW! THE CHAMP IS DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO TRY AND WIN THIS MATCH FOR HIS TEAM!
Jake Mercer: PJ’s wilding out, and it’s a sight to see! He gets Delilah up, getting her in position… BANG! ‘HURRICANE’! INVERTED DEATH VALLEY DRIVER CONNECTS! THIS MATCH COULD END SOON AS HE PINS HER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
T–
Flannery McCoy: KICKOUT! TREMENDOUS RESOLVE BY DELILAH ROSE THERE, I MUST SAY!
Stew-O: Delilah was able to get that shoulder up, and with how fast and unsuspecting Hendrx was moving, it’s amazing to think that this bout isn’t over! However, Rose looks like she could be hurting here! PJ leads her up! He grabs her by the head and drives her down with a BRAINBUSTER! Now, PJ heads on out to the apron! We could see him hit that patented spear of his!
Jake Mercer: OR MAYBE NOT! BEA VALENTINE MAY HAVE FORGOTTEN WHO SHE IS, BUT SHE HASN’T FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE STAKES OF THIS MATCH! SHE HAS PJ BY THE FOOT, CATCHING HIM OFF GUARD! HE LOOKS OVER AND REALIZES SHE’S STOPPING HIM FROM HITTING HIS FINISHER!
Flannery McCoy: SUPERKICK TO THE FACE! BEA GOES DOWN! AND PJ SHAKES HIS HEAD, LAUGHING AT HER!
PJ Hendrx: (off-mic) You’re still not serious. 😂
Stew-O: Safe to say that some people are still not taking Bea’s forgetfulness all that seriously. However, she could have been able to help her teammates right there and then–
Jake Mercer: ‘KISSS GOODNIGHT’!!! OH MY GOD!! PJ HENDRX GOES CRASHING DOWN ONTO THE GROUND OUTSIDE! HE COULD BE KNOCKED OUT!
Flannery McCoy: I THINK BEA REALLY DID HELP HER PARTNER THERE! WE HAVEN’T SEEN MUCH FROM HER THIS MATCH, BUT JUST BY KEEPING PJ DISTRACTED AND IN PLACE, SHE VERY WELL COULD HAVE SET DELILAH UP TO WIN THIS FOR THEM! ROSE SLIPS OUT AND GETS PJ BACK INTO THE RING! SHE SLIDES IN! WE GET A COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THR–
Stew-O: BUT PJ ISN’T OUT ENTIRELY! SHOULDER UP! AND THIS OPENING CONTEST IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE AMAZING TO WATCH!
Jake Mercer: Tell me about it! We already got two close covers, and both times, Delilah and PJ kicked out! Rose isn’t pleased at all, but this could be it for her! She could get this done!
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, this could be it! And just imagine what a win like this, especially by pinning the champion, could do for her! Delilah leads PJ up on his feet where he looks a bit wobbly. She sends him down with a snap german suplex! PJ rolls back and comes to a stand from the impact of that move! Now, Delilah approaches him and grabs him! She gets him by the underhook and backs up–
(*TAG!*)
Stew-O: BEA VALENTINE TAGS HERSELF, AND PROBABLY IN THE KNICK OF TIME! PJJ SENDS DELILAH UP AND OVER ONTO THE MAT, AVOIDING WHAT LIKELY COULD’VE BEEN A HUGE MOVE! HOWEVER, BEA IS UP ON TOP AND COMES FLYING IN WITH A MISSLE DROPKICK! PJ GOES BARRELING INTO HIS CORNER!
Jake Mercer: AND BEA ISN’T DONE! SHE COMES PARALLEL TO PJ AND RUNS IN FOR A BASEMENT CORNER DROPKICK–
(*TAG!*)
Flannery McCoy: A DISCREET TAG BY JAY JERRY JOHNSON! BUT LOOK! PJ IS ABLE TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY! AND BEA, INSTEAD OF HITTING HIM, CATCHES SHANE GATES BY THAT HURT LEG! HE GOES DOWN TO A LEG ON THE APRON!
Stew-O: HE WASN’T THE INTENDED TARGET, BUT HE’S IN PAIN! BEA GETS UP, REALIZING THIS! SHE TURNS TO PJ WHO IS BACK ON HIS FEET! HENDRX COMES RUNNING IN!
Jake Mercer: BEA DODGES, ROLLING FORWARD TOWARDS HER CORNER–
Flannery McCoy: AND PJ HENDRX JUST ACCIDENTALLY HIT A RUNNING BICYCLE KNEE INTO JAY JERRY JOHNSON!!!!!!
(*TAG!*)
Stew-O: VALERIE HELLSTORM MAKES THE TAG! BEA VALENTINE RUNS TOWARDS PJ HENDRX AND CATCHES HIM WITH A MUSHROOM STOMP!! ‘BEA STING’!! THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION GOES ROLLING OUT OF THE RING, AS DOES BEA!! EVERYTHING IS DEVOLVING FAST FOR HIS TEAM!
Jake Mercer: SLIGHTEST SPARK, STEW-O! ALL IT TAKES! JAY JERRY JOHNSON STUMBLES TOWARDS THE ROPES WHERE HE SEES PJ! AND HE DOES NOT LOOK HAPPY!
Jay Jerry Johnson: (off-mic) You idiot! Why would you do that?!
Flannery McCoy: PJ CAN’T SAY ANYTHING AS HE TRIES TO RECOVER! HOWEVER, SHANE GATES MANAGES TO COME ON OVER, HURT LEG AND ALL, AND YELLS BACK AT JAY!
Shane Gates: (off-mic) Why are YOU shouting AT him, you moron?! Pay attention to the match!
Jay Jerry Johnson: (off-mic) He clocked me in the face, that’s why! He struck me!
Shane Gates: (off-mic) So?! You think now is a good time for you to cry and moan?! Pull your head out of your ass and finish this match! Otherwise, I’ll do it and finish you in the process.
Jay Jerry Johnson: (off-mic) Excuse me–
Stew-O: VALERIE HELLSTORM COMES IN FROM BEHIND AND PUSHES JAY TOWARDS SHANE! HE GOES DOWN! AND SHE PULLS HIM IN FOR AN O’CONNOR ROLL-UP!!
Jake Mercer: WAIT, WHAT? OH MY GOSH!
Flannery McCoy: VALERIE HAS HIM DOWN! THE OFFICIAL COUNTS!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Flannery McCoy: JAY KICKS OUT, BUT IT’S TOO LATE! VALERIE HELLSTORM GETS THE PIN AND THE WIN FOR HER TEAM!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Mountains’ by Coi Leray plays. Valerie comes to a stand as Bea and Delilah come in. The three women celebrate, taking the time to gloat and laugh. In the ring, Jay Jerry Johnson is in disbelief.)
Stephie Love: Here are your winners…. BEA VALENTINE, DELILAH ROSE, AND VALERIE HELLSTOOOOOOORM!!
Stew-O: Wow! What a turn of events! Valerie Hellstorm was able to surprise Jay Jerry Johnson who looked to do the same thing first for his team. However, a series of miscommunications and arguments led his team to take the loss tonight.
Jake Mercer: Haha! Yes! What a win by Valerie, Bea, and Delilah! I think these ladies were able to pick up on the tension and used it to their advantage here tonight! And just like that, Valerie has snapped her losing streak!
Flannery McCoy: It was absolutely needed. Some may try and argue that this was all bad luck, but regardless, Valerie, Bea and Delilah are your winners.
(The three take their leave, pointing and laughing at Shane Gates and PJ Hendrx who were able to come back to a stand. However, they ignore them, and they along with Jay Jerry Johnson look at each other in absolute disdain. Jay especially is livid.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: (off-mic) This is what I get for trying to keep things cordial with you. Go figure.
(With an annoyed huff, he rolls out of the ring. On his way, he deliberately pushes his shoulder into PJ.)
PJ Hendrx: (off-mic) Yo, you serious? It was an ACCIDENT!
(However, Jay waves him off. Shane Gates, meanwhile, runs his hand over his head in a frustrated manner.)
Shane Gates: (off-mic) This is all so stupid.
(He leaves, even if he has to be more ginger with his steps. The Interwire Champion watches on with a frown. A crew member runs on in and hands him his championship. PJ receives it. With it in his hands, he takes the moment to look down at it.)
Stew-O: And that has been the catalyst for all of the tension that we’ve seen tonight.
Jake Mercer: A lot of us anticipated this happening We’ve seldom seen champions being able to work together with their challengers in these matches this season. This was gonna be an uphill battle for PJ Hendrx in more ways than one.
Flannery McCoy: It’s a shame, really. However, that comes with the territory. Some people can’t put aside their own egos for the greater good even for one night.
(PJ lets out a sigh and starts to walk, putting his title over on his shoulder. The camera then fades elsewhere.)
(Slowly, we begin to return from commercial break, as the camera fades back in from darkness, displaying a long-shot of the Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum, the angle pointing directly at the titantron. The audience would begin to notice that the commercials are over, as there is no music playing through the speakers, and the titantron is once more displaying the path of the camera. However, eventually, it would stop playing the arena’s camera angle as we suddenly begin to fade to the backstage area. We see none other than Michael Belfort sitting in front of the camera, on a chair in front of a black curtain alongside red LED bars, and a television screen displaying the Dynasty graphics, with the EAW logo front and center on the curtain itself. Michael Belfort raises the microphone up to his lips, as he begins to speak.)
Michael Belfort: Ladies and Gentlemen, what a start to the show we’ve already seen. An amazing match to kick off, and of course, more action to see later on this night. The main event itself being perhaps one of the most star-studded, packed main events this brand has seen this season with The Visual Prophet and Scott Diamond taking on Limmy Monaghan and Myles in a tag team match. Current, soon-to-be, and perhaps even future Hall of Famers squaring off. What a match that will be. However, before that occurs, we have here one of the competitors in that match, for a promised in-depth sitdown interview, ahead of the Pain For Pride Main Event. So, allow me to introduce you to none other than the EAW World Heavyweight Champion, Limmy Monaghan.
(The crowd in the arena would begin to cheer, as the camera pans over to Limmy. Wearing a white dress shirt, sleeves rolled up, over black jeans – the EAW World Heavyweight Championship behind him on a table – Limmy Monaghan would be seated in a chair much like Michael Belfort, as he grins at his introduction.)
Limmy Monaghan: Happy to be here.
Michael Belfort: So, Limmy, to kick off this interview I’d like to ask a basic question here; what are your thoughts on this Pain For Pride match, the World Heavyweight Championship, and of course your opponent, Myles?
(The camera pans to Limmy, who scratches his chin, and thinks for a moment.)
Limmy Monaghan: Well, of course, it shouldn’t be understated how much the main event itself actually means to me. I’ve been aiming for a spot like this for over an entire calender year at this point, and it’s something I’ve made sure I wouldn’t have any setbacks heading into. It’s a dream of every Elitist under the sun to be in this position. In a world full of extreme personalities, egos, people who constantly want to remind you just how good they are and what they’ve accomplished; I like to sit back and address what everyone watching is feeling, not just fans, but up and coming wrestlers. This stage is EXACTLY what runs through their mind. Every Elitist as a kid, or however old they were when this attraction began, saw Pain For Pride as the end goal. Regardless of what your thoughts are, where you’d like to be, what company you’d like to compete in – EAW, Pain For Pride, that very main event IS the big dog, no matter what. I entered this company as a tag team wrestler, to be honest, I was perfectly content with being just that, however fate has a funny way of rearing it’s head, and I so quickly realized what my true dreams were.
Limmy Monaghan: Main eventing Pain For Pride, defending the World Heavyweight Championship, the first time I have ever actually walked into Pain For Pride with a title around my waist, against an elite level competitor – self-proclaimed and no doubt backed-up “peak” – in Myles? Of course that’s going to mean a lot to me. There’s no reason why it shouldn’t. This is what I have worked towards.
(We pan back to Michael Belfort.)
Michael Belfort: Speaking of Pain For Pride, and this calendar year, last year you were competing in a singles match, no title on the line, against none other than Terry Chambers. What are your thoughts on going from what was no doubt a huge moment, to potentially THE moment this year?
Limmy Monaghan: Well, to be honest, that journey is really something I’ve always tried to drive home. It is my driving force in this industry, because of the fact that my legacy would be nothing without it. A bunch of accolades and matches won, they no doubt sound impressive, and show people just how much of a threat I am, but the *journey itself* is what makes the legacy mean something, it’s what makes it something to sit and think about. So, the fact that my journey from one Pain For Pride to another, my third Pain For Pride to my fourth, is what it is? I’d say I’ve succeeded in every metric. Beating Terry Chambers was something that no doubt meant a lot to me, it was a match that I had desired, and in that match I had proclaimed that this season would belong to me, and that I’d become World Champion no matter where I went. Following Grand Rampage, I knew I had to pull that off, because I was finger tips away, before I ultimately hit the ground. From that moment on I KNEW I couldn’t afford another setback in this journey. And, for the most part, I avoided it.
Limmy Monaghan: Perhaps it is inevitable, but when it comes to this season, it has all of the possibility to simply not exist. I’ve been quite frankly unstoppable. I beat The Visual Prophet, I beat Hikari Kanno, I beat Andre, I beat Rex, I beat Xander, I beat Cam, I beat Scott, and so on, so forth. I’ve always had this potential in me, I’ve always been capable of this, but last Pain For Pride was exactly WHY I unlocked this inner potential. I knew from then on I HAD to be unstoppable to get what I want, it was the wake up call – from that week on – what kind of Elitist I had to be for the remainder of my career. Making it here, while it means so much to me, it isn’t a shock. Being in the main event, it isn’t a shock. I’m prepared to make yet another Pain For Pride moment, and that’s by defeating Myles in the main event of Pain For Pride, retaining my World Heavyweight Championship, and going on to reach even greater heights as World Heavyweight Champion.
(The angle moves back towards Michael Belfort.)
Michael Belfort: Well, now that you’ve mentioned it, let’s get to Myles. Of course, this match came around when Myles had lost his EAW World Championship and believed he was deserving of a rematch. You granted him that match in some way shape or form. Would you like to comment on this?
(We cut back to Limmy, who takes more time to think about this one. He peeks at his title, before looking once more at Michael, a little head tilt, getting more focused on the future bout.)
Limmy Monaghan: Well, when it comes to Myles, I have to state that as a competitor I absolutely respect him. We’ve had our differences over the years, and I’m not sure we really believe either side anymore, so personally I cannot comment; however he is no doubt among the best. That’s exactly what I was looking for. If my main event at Pain For Pride wasn’t against the best, I simply wouldn’t take it, and that’s when Myles came in. I saw what he went through, how he lost his Championship, and he was practically out of luck. After all, Methuselah had already confirmed a match with Drake, and Myles was no longer Champion. He didn’t exactly have a road to Pain For Pride, and I played his savior. I killed two birds with one stone, I got the match that I was looking for, and I gave Myles the favor that he was desiring. He wanted his rematch, and couldn’t get it, so I knew what I had to do. I’m not sure we’ve seen an inter-brand main event in quite some time, and I’m certain that no one was expecting what I did, but making this match, and allowing Myles to get some attempt at redemption; it was the only option that I could possibly think of.
Limmy Monaghan: After all, we both benefit here. Myles needed a path to Pain For Pride, I needed a challenger, so I let him back in on the Pain For Pride main event. And, truly, what a match that actually is. Myles vs. Limmy is no doubt something a lot of people desire to see, not just me, and it’s no doubt a clash that is going to tear the roof off the place. In the end, however, I will come out on top. No matter how good he is, I’m going to remain Champion, because that is what I ultimately do best.
(We then pan back to Michael Belfort.)
Michael Belfort: Glad to hear it, Limmy, thank you for your time.
Limmy Monaghan: My pleasure.
(Limmy Monaghan smirks, as the camera eventually begins to fade back to the ringside area, the crowd still cheering.)
(Friday Night Dynasty fades back into the arena where Stephie Love is seen standing by, microphone in hand and ready to announce the next match!)
Stephie Love: The following TAG TEAM MATCH is a LAST CHANCE PAIN FOR PRIDE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFIER! And it is a contest set for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
( ‘Run This Town’ blasted through the speakers to a WAVE of boos, as we were set for Tag Team Action; with both resident QUEEN BEES tonight, Mei Sasaki and Sierra Bradford making their way down to the ring; matching in black and yellow ring gear, with black and white corresponding color strips looming under their eyes, in full Bee fashion. The two chatted down the ramp, smirks on both of their faces as Confidence was surely not lacking in this duo; knowing full well they had GREAT chances winning this match-up, and the reaction from the fans? Would be priceless as they CONTINUED to garner more and more momentum. Mei and SIerra would roll into the ring, posing for a moment in from of the hard-cam, before the two briefly discussed for a moment; leading to Sierra staying in the ring and Mei leaving to the apron, Sierra Bradford looking to start for her team. )
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST… THE TEAM OF SIERRA BRADFORD, AND MEI SASAKI… THEY ARE, THE QUEEN BEESSSSSSS!!!!!
Stew-O: And these two have been on a little streak lately admittedly; beating the likes of Bea Valentine in great fashion, The Queen Bees have been MANIFESTING this moment for themselves; after blundering in the early stages of qualification for this match, they have taken all the ‘#QueenBeeSweeped’ chants and fueled them into the fire, using them now? As instruments to their opponent’s demise.
Jake Mercer: They are ready. They know tonight can go either way, which is PERFECT for them to make sure it goes THEIR way. They’ve grown accustomed to the pressure, they KNOW what it takes to win; now all they have TO DO? Is just that – WIN.
( ‘Rhapsody In Pink’ BLASTED through the speakers to interrupt, ‘Run This Town’ as both Halsey Neel AND Candice Blair entered out to the ring together; a rather serious look on both of their faces as they came out of the Titan-Tron’s entrance, both of them sharing a look as Candice Blair nudged Halsey, showing a grin as the two shared a couple words for a moment; before both of them seemed to take a breath in, relaxing themselves before beginning to make their way down to the ring, confidence still on both of their demeanors despite the possible worry, as the two went across the ring from where Mei Sasaki and Sierra Bradford were, with a look being exchanged between the four, as both Halsey Neel and Candice Blair hopped onto the apron, posing for the hard-cam; before finally Halsey Neel would step into the ring, Candice staying on the apron; as the duo was ready to begin this match-up. )
Stephie Love: AND THEIR OPPONENTS…. THE TEAM OF CANDICE BLAIR, AND HALSEY NEEL…. THEY ARE, THE #DISNEYBESTTIESSSSS!!!!!!
Stew-O: And you can tell there’s a little bit of tension in the air between both of these Elitist despite the calm confidence they are trying to bring out here, it’s obvious that so close to Pain For Pride; this opportunity is EXTREMELY important, and after some rather dramatic interactions on Voltage last week? This could be considered a do-or-die match-up for the Disney Besties.
Jake Mercer: That’s an untold truth. I mean Eden Sinclair is back and calling shots for the team already, and after some soiled opportunities? Tonight just can NOT end badly for Halsey and Candice. And we know both of them are EXTREMELY talented in their own rights, they just have to take that time and let that talent show.
Flannery McCoy: Agreed; pressure makes diamonds, but it can also make Tag Team Title shots; let’s just see which one of these teams will register that and submit their spot, at Pain For Pride!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
Stew-O: Honestly, I am thankfully more and more that I wouldn’t have to call a match between Sierra AND Sierra tonight on Dynasty; I suppose I can thank the newly returning Eden Sinclair for putting Halsey in the spot for her OTHER #DisneyBesties partner Sierra Everett, and saving ALL of us a lot of confusion.
Jake Mercer: What do you mean? Like trying to call Sierra hitting Sierra with a Moonsault, right after Sierra reversed Sierra’s signature maneuver and saving herself in this match and possible costing Sierra a win tonight?
Stew-O: Precisely.
Jake Mercer: Oh. :lupe: , well I suppose we should all be happy as Halsey will be the one to start this match off for her team, with Sierra Bradford coming out from the opposing corner; our opening fighters making themselves acquainted with each other as these two are beginning to circle towards the center of the ring, looking to gain the upper-hand here early as Sierra and Halsey connect in a collar-and-elbow tie up!
Flannery McCoy: And Halsey just PUSHING Sierra towards her corner early, Sierra almost standing NO chance fighting her off as Neel PUSHES her directly against the turnbuckle –
TAG!!!
Stew-O: Oh! It looks like this might have been apart of the gameplan of the Queen Bees as Mei Sasaki can quickly get the tag, looking to enter the ring and double team Halsey – BUT It’s Halsey who seems to be aware of the plan set before her, quickly letting go of Sierra and PUNCHING Mei Sasaki off the apron, stopping any sort of double team early on in this match ; but even so, Sierra quickly taking the small time that Halsey was distracted, and sending a kick DIRECTLY into her gut!
Stew-O: And in the end, it seems like the Queen Bees are still coming out positive from this; as Halsey Neel is left in a vulnerable position, Sierra stepping out of the corner whilst grabbing ahold of her opponent now, having full grasp on Halsey’s arm as Sierra FLINGS her forward into the ropes; looking to nail her with a spinning elbow on the rebound –
Flannery McCoy: BUT HALSEY DUCKS IT!!! Halting in her tracks rather quickly after getting behind Sierra who quickly turns around to try and relocate her opponent – AND HALSEY JUMPING INTO THE AIR AND LANDING A PELE KICK RIGHT ONTO SIERRA’S TEMPLE!
Jake Mercer: And Sierra sent to the floor, quickly rolling out of the ring as she is not the legal competitor for the Queen Bees, that being Mei Sasaki; someone who had been sent to the outside moments ago by Halsey, who is now getting back to a vertical base in the center of the ring… BUT LOOK OUT! Mei Sasaki using the time wisely, not intruding too early into the fight and finding her PERFECT time to strike, before leaping off the ropes and connecting with a SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK ONTO HALSEY NEEL, FLATTENING HER OPPONENT!!!
Stew-O: And the numbers game playing such a key role in this match, with Candice just having to watch from her corner; though thankfully for her, Sierra is unable to re-enter this match for the moment, leaving it to Halsey to turn the momentum for herself AND her team; as Mei Sasaki looks to deny that ability, Sasaki pulling up Halsey to her feet, WHIPPING her into the currently vacant corner for the Queen Bees, far away from Halsey’s own; as Mei wastes little time sending SHOOT kicks right into the gut of Halsey, weakening her adversary!
Jake Mercer: And Halsey beginning to shrink the corner now, getting lower and lower before finally getting in a FULL seated position; and this looks like PRIME position for Mei Sasaki to take advantage, as Mei stops with the kicks; moving herself out of the corner as she takes a mini lap around the ring – BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND SMASHING INTO HALSEY NEEL WITH A HIP ATTACK!!!! 🤤
Flannery McCoy:… You good?
Jake Mercer: Perfectly fine, this just reminds me I have to remember to renew my subscription for Mei Sasaki’s OnlyFans soon … Always have to support Dynasty Elitists in ALL their endeavors. :mjlit:
Flannery McCoy: Limmy Monaghan is in the arena tonight, Jake.
Jake Mercer: Hey hey hey, I meant it respectfully! He is a very lucky man. :mjgrin:
Flannery McCoy: :mjpls:
Stew-O: Regardless of… Outside avenues of work – Mei Sasaki is cleaning up shop IN the ring, as now she looks ot perch along the top rope; high above the ring with Halsey Neel directly in the center, disoriented from the hip attack she recently took STRAIGHT to the head; leaving Sasaki with an opportunity to take this match home here, as Mei turns around, facing away from her opponent… BEFORE LURCHING OFF THE ROPES, FLIPPING INTO THE AIR, AND LANDING FLUSH ONTO HALSEY WITH A MOONSAULT!!! QUICKLY HOOKING THE LEG HERE, LOOKING FOR THE COVER!!!!!
OOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Stew-O: CANDICE COMING THROUGH THE ROPES TO BREAK UP THE PINN…
TTWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO—
Jake Mercer: BUT HALSEY KICKS OUT!! Candice unneeded as Neel manages to escape the pin attempt, forcing Sasaki off of her who sits up; sighing as she has to find a new avenue of putting away her opponent, as Sasaki stands up; fixing her hair as she stretches out her arm; looking for a full restart here as Halsey slowly begins to get up, trying to struggle towards her corner, but Mei READY to stop her advances; coming to grab her from behind –
Stew-O: BUT HALSEY LANDS A BACK ELBOW ON MEI RIGHT AS SHE COMES UP BEHIIND HER! Neel not letting Sasaki manage to keep her down, and with Mei staggered for the moment; Halsey LURCHES towards her corner, hand out to hit Candice’s on to tag out of this match-up –
BANG!
Flannery McCoy: Oh and Sierra Bradford just CLIPPING the legs of Candice Blair off the apron, forcing her to CRASH down to the floor just mere MOMENTS before Halsey went for the leap of faith, Blair being forced to the ground as Halsey is left tagless, hanging on the bottom rope as she looks down at her tag team partner, before staring DAGGERS into Sierra Bradford who is heckled by the ref to get back to her side of the ring, with Bradford just grinning ear to ear after saving a possible tag in here!
Jake Mercer: AND MEI SASAKI TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE MOMENT, LANDING A KNEE STRIKE TO THE BACK OF HALSEY NEEL’S HEAD WHILE SHE WAS DISTRACTED, ROCKING HALSEY QUICKLY; The Queen Bee’s have the #DisneyBesties on CHECK right now!
Stew-O: And this surely can’t be the performance Eden Sinclair wants to see from her pupils after a recent return; but there is still time to turn the tables into their own favor, but in order to do that Halsey MUST find a way out of this downward spiral; as Mei grabs her up quickly by the back of the head, CHUCKING her into the middle rope; and Halsey’s chances of breaking out of this slow declining state CONTINUE to slim, as Mei runs the ropes; rebounding back towards where Halsey Neel is looming, AND IT LOOKS LIKE MEI SASAKI IS GOING FOR HER TIGER FEINT KICK, THE 619 —
Flannery McCoy: NO!!!! HALSEY GRABS MEI’S LEGS RIGHT BEFORE THE IMPACT!!!! Halsey picking off Mei JUST before she could land her signature maneuver as she begins to stand with both Mei’s legs in her possession, dragging Mei for her neck to hover RIGHT under the top rope… BEFORE LEVERAGING HER LEGS DOWNWARDS AND SLINGSHOTTING MEI’S THROAT RIGHT INTO THE TOP ROPE, CHOKING MEI FOR A MOMENT LIKE A SUDDEN THROAT CHOP AS MEI BOUNCES OFF AND BACK INTO THE RING, GRABBING AT HER NECK AND TRYING TO RECOVER!
Jake Mercer: And Mei staggering up to her feet, barely able to breath properly it seems, spinning to directly face her opponent; with no sure idea of what could come next – AND IT’S HALSEY WITH A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE RIGHT INTO THE JAW OF MEI SASAKI!!!! STUNNING SASAKI COMPLETELY, CAUSING HER TO WOBBLE, YET WITH MEI STILL ON HER FEET… ‘OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!!!!!!’ THE BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE, YAKUZA KICK COMBO THAT SENDS MEI DOWN TO THE MAT, WHEN HALSEY NEEDED TO LAND A MANEUVER; SHE MADE IT MATTER AS HALSEY GOES FOR THE COVER!!!!!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—-
Stew-O: AND AGAIN, SIERRA BRADFORD PLAYS HER SISTER’S KEEPER, THIS TIME BREAKING THE PIN ATTEMPT AND SAVING THE MATCH!!!!
Jake Mercer: EXTREMELY close call here, as Sierra goes RIGHT to work, kicking Halsey Neel off of her tag team partner before DRAGGING Mei Sasaki by the hand towards the corner, quickly stepping through the ropes before Halsey could stop Sierra’s plan and –
TAG!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Sierra tags in! Tag made from Sierra Bradford who looks to burst into the ring, trying to quickly make quick work of a still BEATEN down Halsey Neel –
TAAGGG!!!!!
Stew-O: OH! BUT LOOK, CANDICE GETS THE TAG IN! Seemingly recovering from getting swept off the apron, Halsey uses the time to get her partner in the mix as Blair seems rather ANNOYED at Sierra who was the one who took her off the apron in the first place, Sierra comes to a halt quickly as now her gameplan seems to have taken a bit of a misstep…
Jake Mercer: BUT IN HER SHOCKED STATE, CANDICE BLAIR BURSTS THROUGH THE ROPES AND BLASTS SIERRA BRADFORD WITH A CLOTHESLINE!!!!
Stew-O: But Sierra Bradford not staying on the ground for long, getting right back up to her feet to try and catch Candice off guard – BUT BLAIR WITH ANOTHER CLOTHESLINE TO SEND BRADFORD DOWN!!!
Flannery McCoy: Blair trying to clean house here, with SIerra Bradford STRATEGICALLY staying down to avoid any further damage; but Candice NOT letting up as she drops her knees DIRECTLY into the gut of a downed Sierra Bradford, rolling off of her; before getting up and BACKFLIPPING back onto the mid-section of Sierra Bradford, CONTINUING the assault!
Jake Mercer: And with little time, Candice Blair shifts the momentum ENTIRELY for her team; putting them in SOLID positioning to steal this one away with Mei down in the Queen Bees corner, Sierra Bradford helpless now as Candice helps her up, placing Bradford front of her as Blair makes Sierra wrap both legs around her core, and I’m sure we ALL know where this is going; CANDICE LIFTING SIERRA INTO THE AIR, HOLDING HER THERE MOMENTARILY… BEFORE SLAMMING HER DOWN WITH A WHEELBARROW FACEBUSTER, HER ‘RAGS TO RICHES’ MANEUVER!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: And Sierra being downed would be an easy pin attempt… BUT CANDICE ISN’T DONE YET! Adjusting her hair, as she makes her way over QUICKLY to the turnbuckles, not wanting to waste ANY time finishing off someone she surely considers to be a pest; Candice advancing upwards to the middle rope, looming over Sierra Bradford who’s just now beginning to get up, CANDICE BLAIR READY TO SEAL THE DEAL, POSSIBLY LOOKING FOR HER CANADIAN DESTROYER… AND IT SEEMS SO, CANDICE READY TO SPRING OFF…. ‘DISNEYLAND DESTROYERRRRR’ CONNECTS!!!! THIS IS IT, THAT’S THE MATCH, CANDICE COVERING SIERRA ALMOST INSTANTLY…
….
…
…
Stew-O: OH BUT LOOK! MEI GRABBING THE REFEREE’S ATTENTION AND DELAYING THE COUNT, CANDICE HAS IT; SURELY IT’S BEEN THREE BY NOW?! Candice now, realizing what’s going on as she slowly gets off the cover, looking over INFURIATED as Mei Sasaki continues to keep the referee AWAY from the in-ring action!
Flannery McCoy: But Candice isn’t letting that happen freely, AS SHE PUSHES FORWARD; LOOKING TO LAND A MASSIVE FOREARM ONTO MEI SASAKI TO BLAST HER OFF THE APRON – BUT MEI BARELY EVADES IT, JUMPING OFF THE APRON AWAY FROM A FURIOUS BLAIR!
Jake Mercer: Barely is an UNDERSTATEMENT, but nevertheless; Candice goes BACK into the ring, looking to go capitalize back on the cover she had CLEARLY for herself – BUT SIERRA! SIERRA SURPRISING HER WITH A QUICK ROLL-UP, SHE’S TRYING TO STEAL IT HERE!!!!
OOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE—
Stew-O: PHEW, EARLY KICK OUT FROM CANDICE BLAIR WHO SPRINGS UP TO HER FEET, NOT LETTING HERSELF SUCCUMB TO THE PIN ATTEMPT AS SHE SPRINGS UP TO HER FEET…
Flannery McCoy: JUMPING KNEEEE!!!!
Stew-O: Sierra with the jumping knee to stun Candice Blair, rocking her jaw and BOTH Elitist crumble to the floor!
Jake Mercer: And now it’s a race in the center of the ring! Neither competitor has an edge here as both competitors begin crawling to their corners, with Halsey now FINALLY standing up on the apron and reaching her hand out… AND SAME WITH MEI SASAKI!!!
Flannery McCoy: It’ll be close, as they both near the ropes; neither one looking to beat out the other…
TAG!
TAG!
Jake Mercer: AND THEY PRACTICALLY SYNCHRONIZED THOSE TAG INS! HALSEY AND MEI ARE LEGAL, IT’S GO TIME!!!
Stew-O: And now BOTH of Mei and Halsey rush to the center of the ring, AND LOOK; MEI INSTANTLY SPINNING HER LEG IN THE AIR LOOKING FOR HER ‘DISINTEGRATION’ TO FLOOR HALSEY… BUT HALSEY DUCKS IT – AND HALSEY LANDS A ROUNDHOUSE KICK OF HER OWN; STUNNING MEI SASAKI IN THE CENTER OF THE RING, THIS IS A BAD PLACE FOR MEI NOW!!!
Flannery McCoy: AND HALSEY NOW, LOOKING TO BLAST MEI SASAKI TO THE MAT, NEEL RUNNING THE ROPES; LOOKING TO GARNER MOMENTUM IN ORDER TO LAND SOMETHING FAR MORE HIGH OCTANE THAN ANY STANDARD MOVE – BUT WAIT, SIERRA BRADFORD!!!! SIERRA BRADFORD GRABBED HALSEY’S BOOT AS SHE WAS GOING TO BOUNCE OFF THE ROPES!!!!
Jake Mercer: And Halsey just FACE PLANTING onto the floor, grabbing her jaw as Sierra SAVES her partner once again….
Stew-O: ‘DISNEY-LAND DESTROYERRRRRR!!!!!!’ CANDICE BLAIR SHOCKED SIERRA BRADFORD BY JUMPING OFF THE APRON AND PULLING HER WITH THE CANADIAN DESTROYER ON THE OUTSIDE, AND THAT SHOULD STOP THE SHENANIGANS AS HALSEY NEEL CAN FINALLY GET TO A KNEE WITHOUT ANY WORRY OF INTERFERENCE –
Flannery McCoy: ‘DISINTEGRATION!!!!!!!!!’ THE SPINNING HEEL STRIKE CONNECTS, WITH THE DISTRACTION AND INTERFERENCE IN PLACE HALSEY FELL VICTIM TO THE ROUNDHOUSE KICK FROM MEI SASAKI, WHO QUICKLY ROLLS HALSEY INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING, AND IS LOOKING TO STEAL IT HER – COVERRR1!!!
OOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
( ‘Run This Town’ blasted through the speakers to a WAVE of boos from the fans, as Mei Saskai was in a fit of JOY in the center of the ring, JUMPING up to her feet as she raised her arms HIGH in the air, jubilee SPEWING out of her as Halsey Neel clutched her jaw, rolling out the ring as Sierra Bradford BARELY hobbled in, still very hurt from the Canadian Destroyer as Mei Sasaki went to help her partner up to RELISH in the moment! )
Stephie Love: HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS… AND QUALIFYING FOR A TAG TEAM TITLE SHOT AT PAIN FOR PRIDE….. SIERRA BRADFORD, MEI SASAKI…. THE QUEEEEN BEEEEESSSSS!!!!
Stew-O: And just like that, The Queen Bees find themselves hustling their way into PAIN FOR PRIDE. Cohesively finding their ways to cut corners, but this time? I can’t blame them too much, because with those corners cut… They could be Champions.
Flannery McCoy: That win was tarnished to say the least, but a win none the less. The fact of the matter is, Mei Sasaki and Sierra Bradford can be RELIEVED knowing that they will INDEED have a Pain-For-Pride season to look forward to, and I’m sure Serenity Valdez is JUST as happy in the back.
Jake Mercer: OF COURSE SHE IS?! Look, Halsey Neel and Candice Blair put on a GREAT performance tonight, but the fact of the matter is? The Queen Bees are simply just the better TEAM tonight. I just hope Eden Sinclair doesn’t mind that reality… :lupe:
( As the scene lingered, it showed both Mei Sasaki and Sierra Bradford on their feet, with Sierra leaning on Mei as she weakly smiled; the two raising their arms high in the air as Candice Blair comforted her tag team partner, Halsey Neel, on the outside; clearly upset about the result tonight as she was deep in thought, with the scene fading away from Dynasty and cutting to commercial. )
(A commercial is shown for this week’s episode of Saturday Night Showdown, being headlined by Impact facing Ryan Joseph Wilson of DOMINION.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Last Time That I Checc’d’ by Nipsey Hussle ft. YG hits the speakers to a negative reaction, as Morray Turner would make his way out onto the stage. He would walk down the rampway, before entering into the ring and backing into his corner, not wasting any time.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! From Atlanta, Georgia, weighing in at 241 pounds, ‘GOLDEN HANDS!!!!’ MOOORAAAYYYYYY TURNERRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: lol
(Then, ‘Outlaws and Outsiders’ by Cory Marks would replace the speakers as the reactions only got louder, and Axel Graves with Nash Haynes by his side would appear on the top of the ramp. They look ready for tonight, as they make their way down the ramp and enter into the ring, backing into his corner.)
Stephie Love: And his tag team partner! From Bearcreek, Montana, weighing in at 265 pounds, he is The ‘UNWANTED!!!!!’ AXEEEEELLLLLLL GRRRRAVESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(And finally, ‘People are Strange’ by The Dead South would hit the speakers as both Kirk Redwood and Solomon Stane, being accompanied to the ring by Trixie Stane would enter out onto the stage. They have smiles on their faces, but looking extremely focused and serious at the same time as they walk down the ramp, entering into the ring and backing into their corner.)
Stephie Love: Their opponents! At a combined weight of 476 pounds and being accompanied to the ring by Trixie Stane, they are the team of SOLOMON STANE AND KIRK REDWOOD!!!! THE OFF-BRAND AMPHETAMINESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: This match is underway, as it looks like both Solomon Stane and Morray Turner are going to start this match, and Morray rushes right in at Solomon from the very start! BUT SOLOMON KNOCKS HIM DOWN WITH A HUGE CLOTHESLINE! Morray just got manhandled right then and there, and now he is nailing lefts and rights to Morray! Morray can barely even get any offense in right now, as Solomon Stane picks him right back up to his feet..
Flannery McCoy: AND HE NAILS A HUGE HALF IN HALF SUPLEX! Morray just got dropped right down onto his head from Solomon, as he falls back into his corner, and look at the disappointment that you can clearly see on Axel’s face right now. And it looks like Solomon isn’t done, RUNNING RIGHT AT MORRAY BEFORE NAILING HIM WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE. It looks like Axel is done watching this, and he tags himself on into the match!
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: And it looks like that tag came out of nowhere for Solomon, as Axel quickly rushes into the ring, forcing Solomon to eat a knee right to the skull as he was paying attention to Morray, catching him off guard. Axel then grabs Solomon and flips him over with a snapmare, running off the ropes and shooting his leg right into Solomon’s back. It looks like Axel has to take the liberties for his team right here now.
Stew-O: And it looks like he is going to do exactly that, quickly picking Solomon right back up to his feet as Axel grabs a tight hold on him, before throwing him over with a snap vertical suplex! Axel then floats over and mounts onto Solomon, before throwing his forearm right into Solomon’s face a couple of times! Solomon is able to get his guard up however, and he catches Axel with a stiff headbutt! And that dazed Axel Graves.
Flannery McCoy: Solomon slips away from Axel as he picks himself back up to his feet, but Axel is going to meet him right back up as well, before Axel connects with a headbutt of his own! These two men are going at it right now, as Axel catches Solomon with a forearm smash that sends him backing into his corner. Axel takes a step back rushing in at Solomon, but Solomon catches him with a boot to the face! And Kirk tags himself in!
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: Solomon sends Axel backward with a stiff right hand as Kirk quickly slides to the middle of the apron, CATCHING AXEL WITH A SLINGSHOT SPEAR! Axel just got cut in half from that spear, and Kirk quickly picks Axel right back up to his feet, before dragging him over to the center of the ring, as he lifts him up high into the air! AND KIRK DROPS HIM RIGHT BACK DOWN INTO THE MAT WITH A MASSIVE BRAINBUSTER!
Stew-O: Axel Graves looks to be completely out of it from that brainbuster, but he is able to roll as far away from Kirk as possible before Kirk could slide over into the pin! Great ring smarts on display from Axel right there, as he uses the ropes to pull himself back up to his feet, where it looks like Kirk’s going to be waiting for him right then and there. KIRK SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE ROPES FOR THE ‘.50 CAL!!!’
Flannery McCoy: AXEL GRAVES CATCHES KIRK REDWOOD OUT OF MIDAIR! BEFORE THROWING HIM WITH AN OVERHEAD SUPLEX!!! Kirk goes down hard into the mat, and Axel is on fire right now, as he is taking both members of the Off-Brand Amphetamines to the absolute limit all on his own! Axel quickly backs into his corner, possibly looking for something big to capitalize off of this momentum that he is gaining all for himself right now…
(TAG!)
Axel Graves: …
Jake Mercer: Why did Morray Turner just tag himself back into the match lmao.
Stew-O: Well, it looks like Morray is actually ready to get back into this match, as he quickly enters back into the ring, much to the annoyance of Axel Graves… WAIT AXEL GRAVES HIM BY THE HEAD! MORRAY DOESN’T KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING, AND AXEL DRIVES HIS FOREARM RIGHT INTO THE BACK OF MORRAY’S NECK! MORRAY JUST GOT FLATTENED ON HIS FEET, AND KIRK TAKES ADVANTAGE WITH THE ‘.50 CAL!!!’ THE SPRINGBOARD SUPERMAN PUNCH TO MORRAY! KIRK INTO THE COVER!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
TTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stephie Love: HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS; THE OFF-BRAND AMPHETAMINES!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Well there was certainly an effort being put up by Morray Turner and Axel Graves in this match, for good or for worse. But at the end of the day the experience of the Off-Brand Amphetamines got the better of them.
Stew-O: And that certainly allows them to make a statement heading Pain For Pride, with the chance to become two-time Unified Tag Team Champions on the horizon. Congratulations to Kirk and Solomon on the win!
(‘People Are Strange’ would hit the speakers once more as Kirk quickly pushes himself off of Morray. Axel Graves would leave the ring pissed off, as Solomon and Trixie Stane both enter. Kirk and Solomon’s; arms would be raised high in victory, as the camera fades elsewhere.)
(Eventually, we start to fade back in to the Dynasty broadcast, as we return to the cameras that are set up in the arena. The camera pans across the rafters, focusing on the stage at the head of the building. The crowd would slowly begin to pop their heads up as they notice that they are no longer in commercial break, as they see themselves on the titantron. We see numerous people, adults and children alike, trying to get on camera likely for their friends back home, before eventually, we pan elsewhere. The camera would start to fade to the backstage area, where the camera shot drags along the marble flooring in a long, continuous shot. We see the lights on the ceiling reflect off the floor, before eventually, we meet a grey door at the end of the path. Slowly, the camera pans up, to show a nameplate reading “Limmy Monaghan” and the crowd in the arena begins to cheer. The camera slowly fades to inside of the locker room, where we see Limmy Monaghan gearing up for his main event match later in the night. Sitting on a chair, his title next to him, Limmy pulls up his kneepad, until…)
(*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*)
Limmy Monaghan: It’s open.
(The camera begins to pan out, as we see Limmy Monaghan’s head look up. Clearly, somebody has caught his eye, as his focus completely shifts; standing up to face them.)
???: Limmy.
(Eventually, none other than Myles walks into the room, as the crowd would once more cheer. Myles stands face-to-face with Limmy, almost similar heights, just an inch difference. Limmy smirks, as he begins to speak up.)
Limmy Monaghan: So I assume you’re here due to the match later on tonight against The Visual Prophet and Scott Diamond, right? After all, regardless of the situation, they are two tough opponents, but I’m sure we’ve got it. Don’t forget, combined, we are the best here, and I know-
(Limmy would begin to reassure his feelings about the main event of the evening, however, Myles would lift a hand up to cut him off. It’s clear that Myles is not here to talk about that, nor is he really in the same mood as Limmy regardless of what he’s here to talk about.)
Myles: I’m not here to discuss the main event, quite frankly in this very moment, that’s not even on my mind right now.
Limmy Monaghan: I see. Go on then.
Myles: I was planning on it.
(The two would stare at each other for just a moment, the tension slowly building, as Limmy’s face changes, no longer interested in talking about the match, rather matching the energy that Myles is giving out. He’s not exactly sure what it is, but his friendly demeanor completely exits.)
Myles: I heard what you had to say earlier tonight in your interview with Michael Belfort. Largely, I didn’t have a problem with it, it was just average stuff, to be honest, wasn’t even something I entirely cared about. Then I heard you talk about me, and what you had to say just honestly posed a question… Do I look like some sort of charity case to you? Is that it? Just somebody you wanted to pick up and “help out” because you felt so generous?
(Suddenly, Limmy Monaghan’s face would change once more. Rather than matching the energy that Myles is giving him, Limmy would become a little confused, clearly, he doesn’t fully understand where Myles is coming from nor what he’s getting at here. It wouldn’t be long before he voiced that confusion.)
Limmy Monaghan: Huh? Wait, is that what this is about? I don’t get it-
Myles: Don’t “huh” me, Limmy, you know exactly what you said. To be honest, I’ve been hearing it over, and over, and over again the past few weeks, and hearing you say it now, it’s starting to piss me off. Do you REALLY think that I am just someone that has been handed this match out of pity, because you felt sorry for me, and that after “everything that happened” you wanted to help lift me up or something? First Andre, now you think it. I really don’t get it. Are you ACTUALLY running with this narrative?
(Limmy would look at Myles, who looks at him back. Myles has clearly heard these comments over the past few weeks, as he stated, and they’ve no doubt gotten to him a little bit, whereas Limmy seems a little offended that Myles is making the claims that he is.)
Limmy Monaghan: “Running with this narrative,” Myles? Is that what you think I’m doing? I’m not sure how you’re the confused one here, because I have absolutely no idea what you’re getting at here. What narrative am I supposed to be running with again? What have I supposedly said that has got you so upset that you storm in here, interrupt me preparing for our match, just to spout whatever upset, soft feelings you have?
Myles: Sorry, why are you playing the victim here? I’m not the one here that is outright saying that the other’s Pain For Pride road has been “saved” as if you’re a damn good samaritan. I’ve already proven that I’m on a whole other level that is undeniably deserving of a main event at this stage, yet I hear you practically acting as if without you doing me a “favor” I wouldn’t have this. Don’t act confused. You KNOW what you said, and I want to know what you’re getting at.
(The two of them begin to stare at each other once more, as the tension and heat between them continue to rise. Neither of them are at the boiling point, however, it’s clear that their demeanors compared to last week are completely and utterly different, and that whatever respect they have for each other is completely irrelevant. The two seem to be under one another’s skin, and neither one of them are shy of hiding that.)
Limmy Monaghan: I don’t get your point Myles. It’s stupid. Your point of view, overall, is just stupid. I’m not sure how you came to the conclusion that you did, or where you’re getting these accusations from out of what I said, and honestly, I think you’re overreacting. We have a match tonight. Don’t ruin that because you couldn’t bite your tongue.
(Myles shakes his head.)
Myles: You better watch yours. Acting as if I’m less than then playing innocent here isn’t going to do you any good, I promise you that much. Keep pushing it and you’re going to find out exactly where you messed up.
(Myles would take one last glance at Limmy, metaphorically shooting a bullet right through him with his stare – absolutely uninviting, far from friendly – before he turns around, and storms off, slamming the door behind him, leaving Limmy by his lonesome. Limmy sighs, shaking his head, before he slowly sits down, and continues to gear up. He pulls up the other kneepad, adjusting his ring gear, before eventually, the Dynasty broadcast begins to fade elsewhere, as the backstage footage begins to stop, and the Dynasty broadcast starts to continue on with the show.)
( ‘Complete Collapse’ by Sleeping with Sirens would blast through the P.A System as the EAW New Breed Champion, Caroline emerges from the stage with the title strapped around her waist. She has a mixed reception from the crowd here in Biloxi, Mississippi as raises her title up in the air and makes her down to the ramp with a smirk on her face. )
Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…PLEASE WELCOME AT THIS TIME…THE EAW NEW BREED CHAMPION…CAROLINE!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Caroline is walking into this arena as STILL your New Breed Champion which in my estimation makes that defense number three for the champion! The Major got served hard!
Stew-O: Hey don’t say that! Major Michael Scott Connor gave Caroline a fight, despite the injury he was suffering throughout the duration of the match. It was a competitive match-up but at the end of the day, Caroline is still our New Breed Champion.
Flannery McCoy: She successfully defended her title on Showdown but what happened after the match got everyone talking, as Caroline attacked The Major, looking to further injure the marine until Hans Grayson showed up to save the day, and save the Major from fatigue at the hands of Caroline. Let’s see what she has to say following her New Breed Title defense on Showdown.
( She enters the ring as ‘Complete Collapse’ begins to fade out. Caroline gets a microphone and waits for the crowd to quiet down as she rests the New Breed Champion on her right shoulder as she begins to speak. )
Caroline: Like I said last week, I didn’t see Major Michael Scott Connor as competition, or at least worthy competition. Despite his best efforts, despite his best attempt to take this championship away from me, I nailed down that old man with a ‘Song of Fire and Ice” and I retained my title. I’m not surprised by the results whatsoever, because I walked right into this match knowing exactly what was going to happen. It was going to be easy for me, it was going to be a doozy, a nice little walk in the park, especially when he walked into our match limping his way to the ring. I knew it was over even before the bell rang. I only ever entertained this match because the Major won a title opportunity back at Reasonable Doubt and that was the justification of this entire ordeal taking place. If there was actually any doubt that I was going to lose a title defense like this so close to Pain for Pride then anyone who actually thought that is a moron. I’ve solidified my claim, Major Michael Scott Connor is in the past, he’s in the rear view mirror, as I look towards Pain for Pride and what the next steps are for my New Breed title reign.
( Caroline takes a second to pause as there’s some noticeably boos going her way. She continues to speak. )
Caroline: On Dynasty last week, I said It doesn’t really matter what brand that this next title defense was coming from. Other than my defense last week on Showdown, I’ve kept things quite consistent here on the Dynasty brand, but I’m not gonna rule out Showdown or Voltage from coming into the picture. If anyone from either brand wants a piece of me, somebody who’s actually worthy enough of challenging me for this title, they’re more then welcome to step up to the plate and be defense number four of my championship reign.
( The crowd boo once more, as Caroline continues to talk once again . )
Caroline: Which leads me to you, Hans Grayson. I’m at awe for what you did last week, a little offended at you saving that brutal attack I laid out on the Major. I get that you and the Major have respect for one another from fighting and teaming with each other but he had it coming from a mile away. He had that attack coming deservedly and you stuck your nose in some business that didn’t concern you. You should have stayed in the back and let me inflict more damage to that sorry excuse of a marine. You got involved in my business, thinking that this was your way of getting a title shot at me, you must not be in the same world as everyone else Hans. Just because I’m giving you the time of my day, doesn’t mean you’re going to get a title opportunity just like that. Do I think you deserve a shot at my title Hans?…. No, I don’t think so. I don’t think you deserve a New Breed Championship shot quite frankly. You have been here since what? November? You can keep on dreaming in fantasy land Hans Grayson, I got bigger expectations for Pain for Pride. Like I said, I’m going to end this season on a high note, and Hans Grayson isn’t someone I’m going lower those expectations for.
( Caroline drops her microphone to the ground as ‘Complete Collapse’ plays once again. She holds her title up high in the air as boos are audibly heard for Caroline. )
Stew-O: Wow! What a statement from our champion tonight. While she’s looking for worthy challengers from both Showdown and Voltage alike, Hans Grayson isn’t someone that’s on her radar.
Jake Mercer: She told that kid Hans to keep on dreaming, she got bigger expectations in mind.
Flannery McCoy: Perhaps or maybe she wants to avoid Hans. He could be the biggest threat towards her New Breed title reign. Regardless, Caroline has made her intentions clear and what she wants at Pain for Pride, and by the looks of it Hans isn’t someone she wants to dance with at the biggest marquee event of the year.
( Caroline exits the ring, with boos still being thrown her way as she makes her way to the stage area. She turns around to raise her title up once more as the final sees her holding that New Breed Championship up proudly as we fade out. )

Stephie Love: The following contest is a CASH IN THE VAULT QUALIFIER MATCH, and it is set for… ONE FALL!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Survival Tactics’ by Joey Bada$$ and Capital STEEZ would hit the speakers to a mixed reaction of both cheers and boos, as Keogo Leoso would walk out onto the stage. He makes his way down the ramp, before rolling into the ring, backing into his corner as his theme would then fade out from there.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! From Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 245 pounds, he is the ‘SAMOAN STREET BRAWLER!!!!” KEEEEEOOGGOOOOOO LEEEOOOSOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Keogo Leoso has had a rough couple of weeks recently, failing to capture the Interwire Championship from PJ Hendrx, before losing to Jay Jerry Johnson just last week, but is looking to make up for all of that by pulling off a huge upset and defeating Joso to qualify into the ladder match at Pain For Pride.
Flannery McCoy: You know that it is a huge challenge for Keogo, but one little mistake made by Joso, and we might be seeing Keogo in the Cash In The Vault ladder match at Pain For Pride, truly.
(From there, ‘Trophies’ by Drake hits the speakers to a loud reaction of cheers, as Joso would then make his way out onto the ramp. He looks frustrated but trying to keep his composure, as he would make his way down the ramp, before entering into the ring and backing into his corner.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent! From Bronx, New York, weighing in at 206 pounds, he is The ‘NEW ERA!!!!!’ JOOOOOOSSSSSOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: The same thing can be said for Joso however, Stew. I’m always behind the guy, but recently it hasn’t been going too well for him despite the big opportunities he has been given; losing the Grand Rampage match and then failing to capture the World Heavyweight Championship from Limmy Monaghan at Fighting Spirit. Joso can’t be happy heading into this match.
Stew-O: I’m glad that you are finally saying something smart, Jake :wow:. You are absolutely correct. Joso said earlier this week that he was looking for a fight, and I am sure that Keogo would be glad to give him that fight in the tonight’s CITV ladder qualifying match.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: And this match is now underway! Joso is just coming off of coming so close to becoming the World Heavyweight Champion a couple of weeks back at Fighting Spirit, while Keogo Leoso is here looking to make a statement and he is looking to do that at Joso’s expense, as the two men pace and circle around the ring, before meeting in the center, engaging for an intense lockup to start this match; both men looking to fight for control, as they are holding their ground!
Flannery McCoy: But it looks like it is going to be Joso who is able to break the lockup, grabbing Keogo by the head and throwing him over to the direction of the ropes, before catching him with a knee right to the midsection! And then another one, overwhelming Keogo back into the corner! It looks like Joso is going to use those lethal strikes of his early on here, as he holds Keogo up into the corner, before he sends him back even further with a knife edge chop!
Jake Mercer: Joso pulls Keogo out of the corner, locking his wrist as he pulls him away, irish whipping him into the ropes as Keogo bounces off of them, rebounding right towards Joso… AND KEOGO KNOCKS JOSO DOWN WITH A MAJOR SHOULDER BLOCK! Joso falls hard into the mat as Keogo looks to take immediate advantage of the situation, taking yet another run off of the ropes as he looks to meet Joso right back up to his feet… but Joso is able to duck under Keogo’s second running attack!
Stew-O: Joso quickly turns his attention right back towards Keogo, and it looks like Keogo is able to do the same for himself, but Joso isn’t giving him any space nor breathing room; quickly hooking Keogo’s arm before throwing him across the ring with a major japanese armdrag! Keogo slides across the ring as the force behind the throw props him back to his feet, and he falls up against the ropes… AND JOSO RUSHES FORWARD AND IN TO KEOGO LOOKING TO CLOTHESLINE HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE! BUT KEOGO MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!
Flannery McCoy: Joso falls through the middle rope but is able to hold onto the ropes, landing out onto the apron. He quickly pops right back up to his feet as an unexpecting Keogo turns around, and Joso nails him with an enziguri with the help of the ropes from the apron! Keogo is dazed as he stumbles backward to the center of the ring, trying to gain his composure, but won’t have any time to! JOSO LEAPS UP ONTO THE ROPES AND SPRINGBOARDS ON INTO THE RING TOWARDS KEOGO!!
Jake Mercer: KEOGO LEAPS UPWARD AND CATCHES JOSO IN MID AIR WITH A RIGHT HAND!!! Joso falls back down to the mat, somehow landing onto his feet but you can tell that he is completely out of it from the right hand catching him while he was in mid air, and it looks like Keogo is going to capitalize off of it! He may just qualify into the Cash In The Vault ladder match right here as he rushes off of the ropes, BEFORE TURNING JOSO INSIDE OUT WITH A HUGE LARIAT!!! JOSO FALLS FLAT AND KEOGO INTO THE COVER!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: JOSO THROWS HIS SHOULDER OFF OF THE MAT TO KEEP THIS MATCH GOING! Keogo almost just pulled up the upset of the century and shocked the world right then and there, but it wasn’t enough as Joso was able to keep himself in this match! Keogo pounds the mat in frustration, before he quickly slides back up to his feet, grabbing Joso as well before dropping his knee down right into the side of Joso’s skull, and you can tell that Joso is still very much dazed right now.
Flannery McCoy: Keogo drags Joso back up to his feet, and it looks like he is going to use his own strikes to his advantage now, locking Joso’s wrist before pulling him right on into a short armed forearm smash! Joso falls backward, still on his feet however as Keogo closes the distance, as he steps forward once more, as he would make an attempt at grabbing at Joso, possibly to capitalize on the opening that he has given himself, but Joso steps to the side! AND THROWS HIMSELF AT KEOGO FOR AN OVERHEAD KICK-
Jake Mercer: KEOGO CATCHES HIM BY THE ANKLE, TWISTING HIM AROUND ONTO HIS STOMACH AS HE LOOKS TO LOCK JOSO INTO AN ANKLE LOCK! But Joso is able to quickly slip his ankle out of the hold before Keogo could tighten his grip, as he scaggers over into the ropes, using them to get back to his feet, but Keogo isn’t far off! He grabs Joso by the legs, lifting him upward, but Joso is still holding onto the ropes for dear life! He isn’t letting go! BUT HE IS FORCED TO AS KEOGO YANKS HIM OFF OF THE ROPES…
Stew-O: JOSO LANDS ON HIS FEET, TWISTING AND THROWING HIMSELF SIDEWAYS TO NAIL KEOGO WITH ANOTHER ENZIGURI! But Keogo’s still on his feet! Joso is starting to realize that he truly is in for a fight, as he quickly kips right back up to his feet, before nailing a superkick to the midsection! Keogo doubles over a little bit, giving Joso the opening he needs as he jumps right towards Keogo, planting him on his head with a jumping DDT!! Joso looks to be back in this; just like that!
Flannery McCoy: Joso pulls himself back up to his feet with the help of the ropes, looking down at Keogo as a smile appears on his face? He stumbles over to the corner, before starting to make the climb up to the top rope, and Joso might be going for a high risk right here! He gets his footing at the very top, and he starts to yell at Keogo to get back up to his feet! And it looks like Keogo is going to do as such, getting to his feet… AND JOSO JUMPS OFF OF THE TOP ROPE!!
Jake Mercer: WAIT!!! KEOGO CATCHES JOSO IN MID AIR WITH A SUPERKICK!!!
Stew-O: …NO!! JOSO THIS TIME AVOIDS BEING CAUGHT, LANDING DOWN TO THE MAT AND CATCHING KEOGO’S FOOT IN THE PROCESS! Keogo is panicking trying to get out of Joso’s grip, but Joso slaps him right across the face! And then again! A third time! Keogo is caught off guard as Joso then spins Keogo around, dropping his foot in the process, AND THEN HE NAILS A SUPERKICK OF HIS OWN! JOSO GRABS KEOGO AND LIFTS HIM UP, THEN DROPS HIM WITH A BRAINBUSTER! AND HE FLOATS OVER INTO THE COVER!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Keogo Leoso kicks out and he stays alive within this match; and Joso can’t believe it, he thought he had it won! Joso looks to be getting frustrated as he quickly mounts onto Keogo, before hammering him down lefts and rights! This forces the referee to pull Joso off of Keogo, as Keogo stumbles back up to his feet in the process with the help of the ropes. Joso moves the referee out of the way, going right back towards Keogo as he looks to continue the punishment-
Jake Mercer: KEOGO LOOKED FOR THE SUPERKICK! HE LOOKED FOR THE SUPERKICK BUT JOSO DUCKS UNDER IT! He quickly grabs Keogo by the head as he goes behind, before slamming him backward; and Keogo whiplashes into the middle turnbuckle! Holy crap! Keogo might be completely out of it right now, but it looks like Joso isn’t done yet, as he quickly lifts Keogo right back up, placing him onto the top rope, and he follows Keogo up to the top, hooking his arms as he gets them standing on top…
Stew-O: AND THEY BOTH GO INTO THE AIR, BEFORE CRASHING DOWN TO THE MAT BELOW WITH A HUGE SUPERPLEX!!! BUT IT LOOKS LIKE JOSO ISN’T DONE JUST YET, AS HE ROLLS RIGHT THROUGH IT, LIFTING KEOGO BACK UP TO HIS FEET BEFORE THROWING HIM OVER WITH A HUGE FALCON ARROW…
Flannery McCoy: Keogo lands on his feet behind Joso! Joso quickly turns around without realizing that, AND KEOGO NAILS THE SUPERKICK, BUT JOSO STAYS ON HIS FEET, FALLING INTO THE ROPES AND TURNS KEOGO INSIDE OUT WITH A REBOUND LARIAT!! Keogo just got flattened and this might be the end for him, as Joso quickly props him back up to his feet, grabbing a hold of him before lifting him into the air, and Keogo has nowhere to go! He has nowhere to even go!!
Jake Mercer: AND JOSO PLANTS HIM INTO THE MAT WITH THE PACKAGE PILEDRIVER!!! ‘HEAVEN’S GATE’ HITS THE ABSOLUTE MARK, AND JOSO TURNS KEOGO OVER ONTO HIS BACK, BEFORE HE HOOKS THE LEG! KEOGO LEOSO IS OUT, AND JOSO HAS THAT PIN IN DEEP!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
TTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER AND QUALIFYING INTO THE CASH IN THE VAULT LADDER MATCH; JOOOOOOSSSSSOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Trophies’ hits the speakers of the arena again, as Joso would push himself off of Keogo’s lifeless body. He gets up to his feet, as the referee would raise his arm high into the air, and Joso takes the victory in.)
Jake Mercer: HE DID IT! JOSO MY BOY DID IT!
Stew-O: Keogo Leoso put up a great fight here tonight, but in the end it wasn’t enough, as Joso has now booked himself a ticket into the Cash In The Vault ladder match; finishing off the field once and for all!
(Joso continues to celebrate his victory as the camera fades elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for the NBA Playoffs, Celtics vs. Heat Eastern Conference Finals, Lakers vs. Nuggets Western Conference Finals.)
(‘O Fortuna’ by Carl Orff begins to blast through the speakers of the arena. The crowd gives a mixed ovation for the EAW Hall of Famer, Madison Kaline, who doesn’t seem like her normal self. She seems calm, reserved and even remorseful.)
Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…PLEASE WELCOME AT THIS TIME…EAW HALL OF FAMER…MADISON KALINE!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Madison Kaline has always highlighted how much of a veteran that she is to professional wrestling. She believes that she was never given the respect that she believed that she deserved. She was never seen in the same light as the Kendra Shamez and Cameron Ella Avas of the world, so this must be where her displeasure originated from.
Jake Mercer: Madison Kaline is unappreciated. There is a part of me that doesn’t blame her for feeling that way. On the other hand, it’s not ARIA’s fault that Madison isn’t seen in that same light.
Stew-O: Madison Kaline came through a weird transitional time in Elite Answers Wrestling, but she has proven to be a valuable asset in this company. She has scratched and clawed to be the center of attention. While others were pinpointing other women who wouldn’t be here in three months as the future of this company, Madison continued to work and show that no one should be counting her out. I feel like that might be where this is heading, but we’ll see.
(‘O Fortuna’ dies down as the crowd boos as Madison Kaline. Madison seems a bit more calmer as she gestures for the crowd to simmer down and give her an opportunity to speak.)
Madison Kaline: Last week, I invited ARIA to Dynasty, so that we can talk woman-to-woman. I figured that ARIA and I would be on the same page and that we can hash things out. I figured that there was a ton of emotions and anxiety at Fighting Spirit and I’m more than ready to put all of this on the back burner and set our sights towards Pain for Pride. I had better things to do on my Sunday night and watch Voltage, but I was able to catch up on the product earlier this week before coming out here. I saw ARIA’s interview with Molly Waters and how she accepted my invitation. Now, I appreciate that she was able to put her ego aside, so that we can do this. So, ARIA, if you could please come out here, so we can squash this beef between us?
(Without hesitation, ‘DESTINY’ by Saori Yoshida begins to play throughout the Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum. The crowd gives a standing ovation for the Voltage Elitist and former Specialists Champion, ARIA who soaks in the reception from the crowd before making her way down the ramp and towards the ring.)
Jake Mercer: Here is the woman with the invitation to speak with Madison Kaline! This whole thing began at Fighting Spirit. ARIA was set to face Dr. Bethany Blue for the Universal Women’s Champion when Madison Kaline felt like giving ARIA a bit of veteran advice.
Stew-O: Well, ARIA wasn’t too fond of the advice. She looked at Madison as nothing more than a bitter, jaded veteran and slapped her across the face.
Flannery McCoy: Last week, Madison Kaline extended the invitation to ARIA to hash things out. On Voltage, ARIA accepted the invitation. While ARIA doesn’t think that Madison intends to apologize, I think that Madison might surprise us tonight. I see a different aura with ‘The Mistress of Death.’
(‘DESTINY’ fades as the crowd breaks into an ‘AR-I-A’ chant. It’s obvious that this entire crowd LOVES the former Specialists Champion, who is looking around to the crowd. ARIA is completely touched by this reception as Madison Kaline tries to simmer down the crowd without coming off as disrespectful.)
Madison Kaline: Now, before you speak, I thought it would be best to hear some things from my perspective?
(ARIA folds her arms across her chest, not really saying anything, but allowing Madison Kaline the opportunity to say something.)
Madison Kaline: Now, it’s tough being a veteran of this sport. I came into EAW in a period of time where there was only a few collective women. The possibility of a Specialists Championship, a Universal Women’s Championship, headlining Pain for Pride or the possibility of having the term ‘Vixen’ eradicated was something that most of us could have dreamed about. We were constantly looked down upon, called “[censored] break” matches and we had to fight to be respected by our male counterparts. When women’s wrestling in EAW was starting to pick up steam, it was the likes of Aria Jaxon, Cailin Dillon and Tarah Nova who were getting the props, recognition and their flowers. Then, it evolved to Sienna Jade, Kassidy Heart and Ms. Extreme. Then, it went to Minerva, Serena Bennett and Andrea Valentines. These days, it’s Serenity Valdez, Milli Banks and… you, ARIA. Time after time again, I have had to watch people like you and the women mentioned before you get their flowers and that makes me mad.
(Madison Kaline pauses, almost like she’s getting mad, thinking about all the women who have walked into this company and gotten the praise, love and recognition from everyone. She gets mad at the women who have arrived and gotten their flowers from everyone for their efforts in keeping women’s wrestling alive.)
Madison Kaline: I’m sorry, but expressing my feelings and opening up isn’t something that I’m quite good at. I’ve been stabbed in the back quite a few times in my career. From Maria Gonzalez to The Sanatorium to The Queen’s Court to The Queen Bees, it’s been difficult to be as open and vulnerable about how I am feeling without trying to tear up. But, talking about this and mentioning all of these old and new names, it makes me mad because…it makes me feel left out and that people are forgetting about me. I’m a former Vixens Champion, a Women’s World Champion, three-time Empress of Elite finalist, former Empress of Elite and Hall of Famer. I have always shown up to work, give it what I got and I’ve made it to a point of my career where I am concerned if I have created a legacy for myself that people are going to remember me when I decide to hang up my boots and call it a day. Are people going to remember Madison Kaline? Are people going to care about what I have accomplished? I want to leave a lasting legacy in this company. I know that’s something that you want to do for yourself. We all want to come out here, perform our hearts out and succeed in what I do. You have been able to do that by remaining yourself and that’s something that I can’t say for myself, ARIA.
ARIA: It’s never too late to go back to that side of yourself, Madison. Just hearing you talk and exposing your vulnerability, it allows me to see that there’s more than ‘The Mistress of Death’ and that there’s a human being underneath all of that make up and voluminous hair. I know that you have a heart, Madison. I know that you are a good person, deep down, but you’ve just been hurt multiple times. I understand you. I don’t blame you for getting mad at Fighting Spirit after hearing your point of view. If I saw another lesser established woman getting an opportunity for the Universal Women’s Championship, I might be a bit peeved. If I looked at things from your perspective, you might have looked at me as someone who you’re better than. You might have looked at me and been like: “what makes her better than me?” Or “why does she have a title shot and I don’t?” There’s all of these questions that probably ran through your mind because you are so confident in your skills. You are confident in the fact that you might be one of the most overlooked veterans in this company. No one pays you much attention. No one is going up to you for advice. No one is acknowledging you as someone who kept women’s wrestling from going under all those years ago.
ARIA: While people might not think that you have what it takes, I know that you have what it takes to become World Champion again. Heck, you have more than what it takes to win any championship that your heart desires. You just need to put your mind to it. You need to put in a little more work and give it her all. I mean, what’s what I did. It’s what gave me the Specialists Championship. It’s what has gotten me so many opportunities in the past. It’s what I do every single week. In every single match that I have. We all need to look for things to improve on, Madison. We all need to push ourselves a little bit harder to get the things that we truly want. ‘The Mistress of Death’ can be champion again. She can reign supreme above everyone who has ever looked down and forgotten her. You just need to want that for yourself.
(Madison Kaline tilts her head to the side. She had been listening to everything that ARIA had preached to her. ARIA was empowered by her speech. ARIA was completely tugged at the heart strings and it even warmed Madison’s cold heart to see ARIA feel so passionate about her. At the same time, Madison got ticked off when ARIA had said that Madison needed to “put in a little more work and give it her all” like ARIA does. It almost felt like ARIA was tooting her own horn; however, that was never ARIA’s intention to do so, so Madison decides to brush it off.)
Madison Kaline: Haha…yeah, I guess you’re right. 😅 I’m very thankful to hear your words of encouragement, ARIA. Could we just let bygones be bygones?
(Madison Kaline extends her hand out for ARIA to shake. ARIA forms a small, but genuine smile on her face.)
ARIA: Of course! 😄
(ARIA doesn’t go for a handshake, but she pulls Madison Kaline in for a hug as the EAW Universe begins to applaud the two women settling their beef with each other. Some words are said between both of these women that the audio is not able to pick up, but it seems sentimental. It’s a real wholesome moment between two different eras of women’s wrestling coming together and raising each other up. ARIA and Madison raise each other’s arms up as the crowd is completely eating this up.)
Stew-O: MADISON KALINE SWINGS AND NAILS BACKHANDED SLAP TO ARIA’S FACE! ARIA FALLS TO THE GROUND! ARIA ISN’T GIVEN MUCH TIME TO PROCESS WHAT MADISON JUST DID! MADISON GETS ON TOP OF ARIA AND CONNECTS WITH A SERIES OF PUNCHES AND SLAPS ACROSS THE FACE OF THE FORMER SPECIALISTS CHAMPION! WAS THIS ALL AN ACT FROM MADISON?
Flannery McCoy: MADISON KALINE WAS FAKING IT ALL ALONG AS SHE RISES UP TO HER FEET! MADISON IS CACKLING, ALMOST LIKE SHE IS GOING TO BREAK A RIB! SHE WAS TOTALLY FAKING IT, PLAYING WITH ARIA’S EMOTIONS!
Jake Mercer: SHE PLAYED ARIA LIKE A DARN FIDDLE! MADISON GRABS ARIA AND THROWS HER TO THE MIDDLE PORTION OF THE TURNBUCKLE AS SHE HITS THE STEEL! ARIA STUMBLES TO HER KNEES AS MADISON BEGINS TO SLOWLY BACK TO ONE OF THE CORNERS! SHE IS DEMANDING FOR ARIA TO TURN HERSELF AROUND AND WHEN ARIA DOES THAT, MADISON RUNS FORWARD, CONNECTING WITH ‘AFTERLIFE’ — THAT RUNNING DISCUS LARIAT TAKES DOWN ARIA! THE CROWD IS CHEERING FOR ARIA TO BOUNCE BACK, LOOK FOR ENOUGH STRENGTH TO TAKE DOWN MADISON! MADISON IS SLOWLY BACKING AWAY, STALKING ARIA BACK TO HER FEET! ARIA TURNS AROUND AS MADISON CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER ‘AFTERLIFE’ AS THAT KNOCKS ARIA DOWN!
Stew-O: MADISON KALINE KICKS ARIA UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING! SHE EXITS THE RING HERSELF AS SHE LOOKS UNDERNEATH THE RING FOR SOMETHING…
(Madison Kaline is looking underneath the ring for something before the crowd becomes stunned when Madison pulls out her trusty barbed wire baseball bat.)
Flannery McCoy: :whoa: :whoa: :whoa: Madison, we still have that Disney partnership. The sponsors are not going to like this. :lupe:
Jake Mercer: ARIA IS SLOWLY FINDING HER WAY TO HER KNEES! SOMEHOW, SHE IS FINDING THE STRENGTH TO GET RIGHT BACK UP! MADISON KALINE IS SWINGING THAT BAT LIKE IT’S A PENCIL ON THE FINGER! SHE EXTENDS THAT BAT BACK BEFORE SWINGING IT TO THE SKULL OF ARIA! :damn:
(ARIA plants right down to the ringside floor. Her face is not being seen by the camera as it’s laying down. Madison Kaline begins to cackle, feeling so much amusement in inflicting punishment on ARIA. Somehow, ARIA is starting to get into a crawling position.)
Stew-O: Madison Kaline extends the barbed wire baseball bat back as she hits the spine of the former Specialists Champion! This causes ARIA to go planted down!
(Before Madison Kaline can go for another swing, a whole group of referees race down the ramp. The referees, along with the medical team and security crowd around ARIA, make sure that her blood and potential injuries are not seen with the camera. Some of the backstage producers are telling Madison to leave the scene. Madison isn’t in a position to argue as she leaves with one final statement for ARIA.)
Madison Kaline: (off-mic) A little veteran advice, ARIA: always keep your head on a swivel because you never know who’s gonna strike.
(Madison Kaline begins to chuckle, reminding herself of the beating that ARIA just went through. She slings the barbed wire baseball bat on her shoulder and begins to walk away from ringside and make her way up the ramp. Along the way, the crowd is beginning to boo the Hall of Famer, but Madison does the ‘boo-hoo’ gesture, mocking their tears and cries before turning on her heels and going through the curtain.)
Stew-O: Now, this was just despicable from Madison Kaline — a new low for this so-called ‘veteran’ of this sport.
Flannery McCoy: I really thought that Madison Kaline was turning a new leaf tonight. She fooled me.
Jake Mercer: ‘The Mistress of Death’ is here to collect another soul and it seems like she may be after ARIA’s.

Speaks(Back at ringside, ‘Good For Her’ by MOTHICA featuring emlyn plays. Cameron Ella Ava steps out, wearing a black top, matching sleek leather leggings, and black heeled boots. With a microphone in hand, she walks down the ramp. The camera’s shot focuses on the hall of famer’s face, riddled with annoyance, no doubt ticked off about everything that’s occurred between her and Sienna Jade. The expression doesn’t mellow out by the time Cameron enters the ring.)
Stew-O: Cameron does not look pleased at all tonight, and that’s all thanks to her issues with Sienna Jade. Just when we thought these two would put their issues with one another aside, those same issues have come back into focus and have been exacerbated all because of what can be seen as miscommunication on their part.
Jake Mercer: Well, that’s the thing with these rivalries. All it takes is for the slightest spark to set off an entire explosion, and that’s what happened when Cameron hit Sienna in the face.
Flannery McCoy: By accident.
Jake Mercer: It still happened – and, well, Sienna did warn Cameron that she would retaliate if anything were to happen. She followed through on her word if you ask me!
Flannery McCoy: I don’t think I’ll be asking you anything anymore, Jake. Cameron didn’t intend on attacking Sienna whatsoever. She was only trying to hit Mei. She just moved out of the way with Sienna right behind! It was a simple, honest mistake, and now, Sienna and Cameron are back to tearing each other apart.
Jake Mercer: It could have been a mistake… or a deliberate strike.
Flannery McCoy: It wasn’t.
Jake Mercer: Either way, things were going to ramp up with these two. Even if Sienna and Cameron hung around long enough to get rid of some common enemies, that wasn’t going to erase years of bad blood, beef, and tensions between these two. Drama was just waiting around the corner for them. It was only a matter of time before they’d go after each other next.
Flannery McCoy: Well, I can’t necessarily argue against that. They were bound to face off against each other, but the circumstances behind this upcoming clash still suck. We already know that Cameron finds it all to be idiotic herself, but it seems like she has even more to get off her chest.
Stew-O: Indeed. Now, she’s in the ring, ready to give all of us a piece of her mind.
(Cameron’s theme fades as she stands in the middle of the ring. She takes a moment to gather her thoughts before she opens up to speak.)
Cameron Ella Ava: You know, there is a reason why I don’t choose to align myself with just anybody here. I don’t hand out pleasantries like candy. Throughout my decade run here in EAW, I have seen so many people disregard their own allies, partners, and even friends that they were supposed to watch and help. I had my fair share of it already. It isn’t right, but that’s how it’s always been. One person sees a bit of success or feels like others are holding them back, and then they turn on them at a drop of a dime. Everyone’s just selfish in this business, so that’s why I’ve kept those within my circle so few and far between. Unless your my husband or my family, I’m not gonna stick my neck out for you. I definitely had no intentions of trying to be a savior for this promotion anymore. When I planned my return, I sought to focus on myself and myself only. I didn’t want to get caught up in any drama or have to deal with any daggers lying in wait by those I’m supposed to trust… but I guess the old Cameron is still somewhere within me. And because of her, I’m in a predicament I wanted to avoid.
Cameron Ella Ava: Of course, I came back when Milli Banks needed my help. And I figured, fine, I might as well get some charity work out of the way. Helping her for a moment so that we could tackle three pretend ‘queens’ sounded like light work, and for a good while, we were embarrassing them. However, they didn’t know how to quit. Even after we’ve beaten them, they continued to attack me – and no, it was not the other way around, Mei, Sierra, and Serenity. You three started all of this. If you were truly sick and tired of me, then you would’ve taken your losses in stride. In fact, maybe if you did that, the three of you wouldn’t be stuck having to scrape up the gunk at the bottom of the barrel all of the time. Maybe you three would actually be seen as threats. Instead, you three are a threat to our sanity and our intelligence, and you continue to annoy every person here. However, you can’t give up, can you? You just have to continue making enemies with people who can easily punch you down. So that’s why I had to put my world championship pursuit on hold just so that I could humiliate Serenity at Grand Rampage. That’s why I’m still having to put those same aspirations on the back burner yet again. That’s why I’m having to head into Pain for Pride without a title match, because I decided to take what little piece of my heart that hasn’t become cold and detached yet and used it in order to help someone out.
Cameron Ella Ava: Oh, and no, this isn’t shade toward Milli Banks. She’s a great talent, and I’m glad that she’s a champion. I have no doubt that she’s going to flourish here unlike certain women here in EAW. I’m talking about the other woman that I decided to help out. The one who is actually insufferable and wasn’t worth extending my hand out to. The woman who I should’ve blown off and left alone to fight her own battles, but for some, strange, inexplicable reason, I tried my hardest to assist.
(That’s when she shakes her head, placing a hand on her hip.)
Cameron Ella Ava: You know, Sienna, I’m tired. I truly am. I tried my best to be cordial with you regardless of our past issues. The Queen Bees were trying to big league women far above their pay grade, and seeing as how Kassidy had a lot of different things she was dealing with at the moment, I figured I’d step in to help nip these pesky little pests in the bud right then and there. However, I should’ve known better. As much as I’ve changed, even embracing being a Cameron that people could try and pigeon hold into being a villain in whatever stupid story they wanted to pen, there was still that part of me that, for whatever reason, felt compelled to do some good. I guess my charitable mood extended far longer than it needed to by the time I came to you. We promised to put the past behind us just for a while so that we could look out for each other, to prevent this very same issue that we’re having right now from happening. However, you had to ruin everything. I mean, you really think that I would hit you on purpose? You think that I, the same woman who stepped up to you and offered you MY help, would all of a sudden flip the switch and attack you? I may be the ‘Serpent’, but I don’t strike without any good rhyme or reason. So, for you to blow up in the manner that you did and continue to act as if I was somehow in the wrong, is wild to me.
Cameron Ella Ava: But, you know what, Sienna? At least you’ve reaffirmed my belief that I’m better off handling my issues by myself.
Cameron Ella Ava: It can’t be helped that you’re a conniving little idiot and an insufferable person all around. I’m not going to pretend that you’re anything but that. I’m done with that. And you know? It made me laugh when you decided to throw away your tag title match at Pain for Pride just to come after me. It brings me nothing but joy in fact to see that I hold so much space inside of that pea-sized brain of yours because you’ve pretty much shown everyone how stupid you are. Do you think I look bad in this situation at all? The only thing I did wrong was give you my hand to try and hold on to. However, after that? You have done an incredible job all on your own of looking like a weak, insecure woman. I would NEVER give up a title match opportunity, least of all one that’s at Pain for Pride, just to come after someone else who didn’t matter to me at the time. I guess that’s why you’re seen as the lesser Jaded Heart. At least Kass still has her title match. Now that I think about it… where were you for Grand Rampage again? Your bestie had no qualms about sinking her teeth into one of the most competitive matches of the entire year while you were nowhere to be seen. Hm. Interesting.
(The fans react to her clearly shady comments.)
Cameron Ella Ava: You were better off not throwing a guaranteed title match away just to lose to me, you know. You already looked stupid throwing our alliance away for the pettiest reasons imaginable, but this? This is sad. Honest to Gawd, I hope your name doesn’t get announced as a Hall of Fame inductee this year, because imagine capping that all off by losing to me and possibly seeing a woman who has always been better than you get a world championship. And it’s funny, because you often talk about how you took her underneath your wing all the way back from REVOLT!, but now, she’s leagues above you. Still, I guess you and getting upstaged by your protegees isn’t all that uncommon – after all, look at Mei! She’s a monster that was created by YOUR hands, and just like the people she’s learned from she thinks that attaching herself to a potential world champion, chasing after clout, and forcing some cringe, zero-chemistry relationship is going to somehow up her own status. At least the age difference between her and Limmy isn’t as creepy as you and Impact’s, though.
(The crowd ‘oooooooohs’, with a few laughing or even having their mouths open in shock.)
Stew-O: Wow.
Flannery McCoy: Oh, yeah, this is getting really nasty.
(Cameron, however, shrugs. She presses on, looking directly at the hard cam.)
Cameron Ella Ava: No wonder why the two of you are seen as third-wheelers. Mei is nothing more than a glorified enhancement talent, and while I love and respect Limmy, he can absolutely do better than her. Limmy is someone who can be the face of this company for years to come as a great representation of what an Elitist is supposed to be. It can even be argued that he’s already doing that. But Mei? She’s not. One glance at her and people forget that she was a world-class, champion fighter before she found her way to EAW. People definitely do forget that she, in some ways, is supposed to carry out your legacy, Sienna… or, at least what you think is your legacy. You’re just an overprivileged, overrated piece of crap who, no matter how many fluke world title reigns you conveniently waltz into, will forever be remembered as nothing more than a sidekick. In that case, Mei is doing an excellent job maintaining your standards!
(Cameron gives another shrug, sarcastic as can be with a slight smirk.)
Cameron Ella Ava: And because of that, Sienna, you’ve paved the way for the Queen Bees to carry on with all of this foolishness. You’ve enabled Mei, Sierra, and Serenity to force themselves into matches and moments they have no right to be a part of. After all, didn’t the head bee in charge say that she once looked up to you? Now, they’re the absolute worst they have ever been, and it’s all thanks to you. Still, I couldn’t see that before. I didn’t realize how much of a hand you had in allowing them to try and ruin this show. I was tired of the Queen Bees just like everyone else and all I wanted to do was help put an end to them; to relieve Dynasty of all of their crap so that everyone else, but more importantly, me, can flourish and not have to worry about those three trying to take away our opportunities. However, Sienna, you couldn’t get out of your own way, and that’s a double entendre for you to digest. Pain for Pride should’ve been different for me, but you know what? I’m not going to complain. It’s always been personal between us, and despite my best efforts this time around, despite me genuinely wanting to set everything aside so that we could take down a mutual foe… we’re on the fast track to colliding with one another again. I was at least trying to be the mature person out of the two of us, but Sienna Jade just loves trying to be some hard, tough badass who does no wrong in her own eyes. It’s fine. I never liked you, you never liked me, and I’ve been meaning to knock you down a few pegs for a good while. I just wanted to put that on the back burner until we got rid of our enemies. However, you wanted to be all too eager and decided to come after me, Sienna. So, I’m not holding back. I’m through trying to be the bigger woman here. I may not end my season with a title, but I can end it with a win over you – and putting you out of your misery for good by sending you to one of your predictable annual breaks. However, this time around? You won’t be coming back.
Cameron Ella Ava: But hey: at least this will be far better than the Queen Bees trying to take you out. Consider this my last charity work for you. You should be grateful.
(‘Good For Her’ plays once more as Cameron gives a final smirk. She takes her leave as a mixed reaction stems from the fans.)
Stew-O: Wow. There were various shots being sent Sienna Jade’s way.
Jake Mercer: Tell me about it! It felt like we were taking those bullets ourselves! I don’t think Sienna is going to let Cameron get away with the last laugh, though. Things were already bad between these two, but now, this feud has escalated to new heights!
Flannery McCoy: It has. It’s almost uncomfortable, in a way. It’s a shame that Cameron and Sienna’s alliance ended disastrously, though. I can only imagine that the Queen Bees are laughing seeing their most bitter rivals going after each other now.
Jake Mercer: Of course they would! Sienna and Cameron are no longer breathing down their necks. Wouldn’t you be just as relieved as they are? Now, they can focus on ending this season on a high note while those they’ve had to fight are caught up with one another!
Stew-O: Good for the Queen Bees, but not good for those who have been trying to get rid of them. Even a common enemy in this case couldn’t withhold years’ worth of tension. Cameron and Sienna have a noted history with each other, and their shared disdain couldn’t be stifled even the slightest bit. Now, we’ve got a war brewing on our hands.
Flannery McCoy: And with Pain for Pride being a month away, tensions will likely continue to flare between these two!
(Cameron Ella Ava exits the stage area as the show fades.)

(‘Anti Hero [Rock Version]’ by Taylor Swift begins to blast through the speakers of the Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum as the crowd shows some love to Jamie Cross. Jamie remains with her head up high, feeling amped up as she makes her way down the ramp, tagging some hands of the fans along the way.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM CHICAGO, ILLINOIS…SHE IS ‘THE IRONWOMAN’…JAMIE CROSS!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Last week, Jamie Cross faced Hall of Famer Madison Kaline one-on-one and found herself a victim of ‘“Aria” of Danger’ by Madison herself as a way to send a message to ARIA that what ARIA can do, Madison can do better.
Jake Mercer: Jamie Cross found herself in that awful situation, but she seems to be trying to keep her head up. She looks at this match with Ruler as a way to turn her luck around and maybe, get a victory over a former New Breed Champion like Ruler?
Stew-O: Jamie Cross is talented. She is getting better at such an amazing level, but Ruler is vindictive, unpredictable and enjoys inflicting pain. Jamie might have bit more than she can chew with this match.
(‘Prices’ by Lil Uzi Vert replaces ‘Anti Hero’ as the crowd instantly boos as Ruler comes out with an ominous and sinister energy around him.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING HER OPPONENT…FROM THE RESERVED IN BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS…WEIGHING IN 220 POUNDS…HE THE RULER OF EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Ruler defeated Bronson Daniels and Axel Graves to qualify for the Cash in the Vault ladder match at Pain for Pride. The match consists of Alex Myers, Donovan Duke, Sheridan Müller, Miku Sakai and Joso — man, it’s already shaping up to be an amazing match. Knowing the history between Alex and Ruler — it just makes this much that much more interesting.
Flannery McCoy: There’s plenty of dynamics here that are going to make things interesting in the next few weeks. Right now, Ruler needs to focus on Jamie Cross, who looks more than focused on this match.
Jake Mercer: I’m hoping that this match lasts longer than ten seconds. I mean, that’s how long their last match lasted. I want to see a good wrestling match tonight! 😤
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: JAMIE CROSS GOES SWINGING AT RULER AT THE SOUND OF THE BELL! SHE TAKES RULER BACK TO ONE OF OUR CORNERS AND THROWS A SERIES OF PUNCHES AS IT MUST HAVE CAUGHT THE FORMER NEW BREED CHAMPION OFF GUARD! JAMIE DISTANCES HERSELF BEFORE RUNNING AFTER HIM WITH A KNEE! BUT, RULER IS ABLE TO DODGE THE KNEE AS HE THROWS THE KNEE AWAY FROM HIM! Jamie goes right after Ruler again as Ruler uses her momentum and takes her down with a flapjack, but Jamie manages to catch onto the turnbuckle! Ruler looks to retrieve her, but Jamie falls back, looking to go for a falling inverted ddt, but Ruler manages to use her momentum to connect with a back suplex!
Flannery McCoy: NO! JAMIE CROSS LANDS BEHIND RULER! RULER TURNS AROUND AS — JAMIE GOES AFTER RULER AS RULER RUNS AFTER HER, CONNECTING WITH A POWERFUL CLOTHESLINE! BUT, JAMIE SLIDES UNDERNEATH THE LEGS OF THE FORMER NEW BREED CHAMPION AS SHE FINDS HER WAY UP TO HER FEET! Ruler turns around and looks at her, but Jamie goes right after him with a super kick, but Ruler catches her foot and takes her down with a side Russian leg sweep! Jamie is turned to her stomach as she tries to find her way up to her feet, but Ruler is above her as he grabs her by the waist and lifts her up for a deadlift German suplex with a bridge!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTT—
Jake Mercer: Jamie Cross with a kick out! Ruler grabs Jamie as both of them find their way back to their feet! He pulls Jamie closer before taking her back with a suplex, but Jamie is able to hand on her feet as she manages to hook Ruler by the neck, taking him by surprise by a neck breaker as Jamie is quick with the cover!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTT—
Stew-O: Ruler SHOVES Jamie Cross off of him, almost like it was nothing! Jamie immediately finds her way to her feet as she gets Ruler up! There is a sign of struggle with getting Ruler back to his feet, but Ruler catches Jamie by surprise with an uppercut underneath the neck! Jamie gets taken back, but she manages to regain her balance as she takes a step back and looks to go for a thrust kick, BUT RULER DUCKS THE KICK AND CONNECTS WITH A CHOP BLOCK TO THE BACK OF THE UNUSED KNEE THAT WAS KEEPING HER DOWN WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED THE THRUST KICK! THIS TAKES JAMIE TO HER BACK AS RULER SLOWLY GETS BACK TO HIS FEET! HE SEES THAT JAMIE IS FINDING HER WAY UP, BUT RULER CONNECTS WITH A THRUST KICK OF HIS OWN AS THAT TAKES THE SMALLER WOMAN TO HER BACK!
Flannery McCoy: Ruler doing the smart thing by keeping Jamie Cross down! But, keeping her down is what is going to be the issue with him because there is no keeping this young woman down! Ruler grabs Jamie’s left arm before applying a standing arm bar as he wrenches the arm back! But, Jamie is turning towards him, looking for a way up, but Ruler connects with an inverted arm ddt as that causes her to spring forward, clutching her arm in pain! Ruler positions himself in front of her as he watches Jamie struggle her way up to her feet, BUT RULER TAKES A FEW STEPS BACK BEFORE RUNNING TOWARDS HER, NAILING A PENALTY KICK TO HER FACE! CORRECTION: HE NAILS THE PENALTY KICK TO THAT INJURED ARM OF HER’S! INSTANTLY, JAMIE FALLS TO HER BACK AS SHE’S CLUTCHING HER HAND! RULER SHAKES HIS HEAD, FEELING UNAMUSED WITH THE SITUATION AS HE HARSHLY GRABS THAT TARGETED ARM, BUT JAMIE IS USING HER OTHER HAND TO SMACK RULER AWAY FROM HER! JAMIE IS TRYING TO CREATE SOME DISTANCE WITHIN HERSELF BY SLAPPING RULER AWAY FROM HIM! BUT, RULER, OUT OF NOWHERE, QUICKLY KICKS HER HAND BACK AND STEPS ON IT!
Jake Mercer: I’m not sure how Ruler just did that, but it must be quick reflexes on his part! Jamie Cross was swiping Ruler away from her, but Ruler just used his foot and kicked her hand to the ground! Jamie has her hand stretched behind her head as Jamie is shaking her head no as — RULER WITH A HUGE STOMP TO THE BACK OF JAMIE’S HAND! :damn: :damn: :damn: Now, it would not be the first time that Ruler would break a hand! He did the same thing to Bronson Daniels at Operation: Doomsday, after all! Jamie is clutching her hand and I’m not sure what is more painful for the young woman: her left arm or right hand?
Stew-O: Um, yes?
Flannery McCoy: Still, you can see that Jamie Cross has enough strength to rise back to her feet and continue to fight on! This is very courageous of her and Ruler with a smirk on his face, a slight chuckle escaped his lips as Jamie is gesturing for Ruler to come at her, give it his best shot and I’m not sure if this is the smartest approach from her! :lupe: It looks like it doesn’t matter as Ruler goes right after her with a forearm smash, BUT JAMIE DUCKS IT LIKE IF SHE WERE A BOXER AND CONNECTS WITH A LEFT HOOK THE THE SIDE OF RULER’S FACE! THEN, JAMIE CONNECTS WITH A SERIES OF SHOOT KICK TO THE SIDE OF RULER’S FOOT! THEN, JAMIE IS CONNECTING WITH SIDE HAND CHOPS TO THE CHEST OF THE FORMER NEW BREED CHAMPION! SHE IS HITTING RULER WITH EVERYTHING THAT SHE’S GOT AT THE MOMENT! THE SHOOT KICKS, THE CHOPS TO THE CHEST AS SHE MANAGES TO TAKE HIM TO THE ROPES! JAMIE IS ON FIRE AT THE MOMENT AS THE CROWD IS COMMENDING THIS WOMAN FOR HER EFFORT!
Jake Mercer: The referee is needing to separate Jamie Cross from Ruler! At least, the referee was able to step in the middle and allow for Ruler to straighten himself up! Jamie is jumping and looking over the shoulder of the referee, almost egging Ruler onto the fight back! It seems like we’re seeing a bit of confidence in Jamie and that’s something that I am digging a lot, guys! This is almost the same confidence that I saw her when she defended that one World Championship in some other company! But, this is the exact fire! I’ll see you a Google doc with the link of the match after the show!
Stew-O: Something tells me that link is not legal. :roman:
Flannery McCoy: How has your laptop not gotten any viruses yet? :wtf:
Jake Mercer: No idea, Flann. I’ve been lucky. Apparently during the same day I downloaded that link, I had gotten an email saying that my virus protection expired two weeks ago too. :lupe:
Stew-O: The referee steps aside and Jamie Cross runs to resume her attack on Ruler, BUT RULER CONNECTS WITH A SPINNING BACKHAND CHOP TO HER CHEST AS THAT TAKES HER BACK! BUT, JAMIE FINDS HER WAY BACK TO HER FEET AS SHE GOES AND TAKES RULER BACK WITH A PUNCH! BUT, RULER CONNECTS WITH AN OPEN PALM STRIKE TO JAMIE’S CHEST AS THAT STAGGERS HER BACK AS SHE FALLS TO A KNEE! BUT, JAMIE IS FINDING HER WAY BACK TO HER FEET AS SHE CONNECTS WITH A PUNCH TO RULER! JAMIE FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH ANOTHER PUNCH AND ANOTHER ONE! BUT, RULER KNOCKS THE WOMAN TO HER KNEES WITH A KNEE STRIKE OF HIS OWN! Ruler connects with another knee to his face as Jamie instantly falls forward, but Ruler follows that up with a switchblade kick as that takes her face first to the mat! Ruler rolls Jamie over to her back as he goes for a cover!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWW—
Flannery McCoy: Jamie Cross with a kick out! Ruler grabs Jamie with a fistful of her hair as he gets her up to his feet! Ruler connects with a knee to the gut of the younger woman! He rebounds himself off the horizontal set of ropes and connects with a slingblade as Jamie goes spinning around like a freaking top! Ruler briefly waits for Jamie to begin rising up to her feet before taking her back with a thrust kick to the gut! Ruler pulls Jamie closer to him before horsing her up and connecting with a brain buster! Jamie stands herself up, BUT RULER SEES AN OPENING! RULER FOLLOWS THAT UP BY TAKING HER BACK WITH A PENALTY KICK! JAMIE IS TAKEN TO HER BACK ONCE MORE! AND, IT SEEMS LIKE RULER TAKES JAMIE TO HER STOMACH AS HE GRABS HER BY THE LEG! OH SHOOT, I THINK THAT HE’S GOING FOR A KNEE BAR!
Jake Mercer: You’re right, Flann! It’s a knee bar! Jamie Cross is trying to scramble for the bottom rope! But, Ruler manages to pull her away from the ropes and begin to apply the knee bar on the young woman! Jamie begins to scream in pain as she knows that she’s in a world of trouble at the moment! I don’t think that submitting is something that Jamie wants to happen this week! Last week, she submitted to Madison Kaline, so I don’t think that she wants to submit two weeks in a row! You can see the look of determination on Jamie’s face! She is trying to fight through the pain, dragging her body to that bottom rope! Meanwhile, you can see that Ruler is slowly losing his grasp on the younger woman! Jamie is trying to drag her fists to the bottom rope, but Ruler stands himself up, looking to pull Jamie away! But, Jamie rolls herself to her stomach and attempts to kick Ruler away from her!
Stew-O: BUT, RULER MANAGES TO GRAB JAMIE CROSS’ OTHER LEG AS I THINK THAT HE MIGHT BE LOOKING TO APPLY A SHARPSHOOTER ON JAMIE! BUT, AS RULER IS REACHING DOWN TO PICK HER UP! JAMIE GRABS RULER, ROLLING HIM UP! IS SHE LOOKING TO STEAL THE VICTORY HERE?!?!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!O!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: No! Ruler rolls himself out of the roll up attempt! Jamie Cross shortly meets Ruler up as Ruler connects with a huge boot that sends Jamie back to the horizontal set of ropes! But, Jamie goes right after him and swings a forearm at him! But, Ruler takes her down with a head butt to the top of her skull! Jamie is wobbly, but she tries to find her way up as Ruler looks to clothesline her over the top rope and out of the ring! But, Jamie manages to land on the apron! Ruler goes over, connecting with a forearm, BUT JAMIE DUCKS THE FOREARM AS SHE CONNECTS WITH A SHOULDER THRUST THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AND TO THE GUT OF THE FORMER NEW BREED CHAMPION! THIS CREATES A BIT OF DISTANCE AS JAMIE STEPS THROUGH THE ROPES AND ENTERS THE RING AGAIN! SHE LOOKS TO GET RULER UP TO HIS FEET, BUT RULER SPRINGS UP TO HIS FEET, PUSHES JAMIE BACK AND NAILS A SUPERKICK!
Jake Mercer: JAMIE CROSS STAGGERS BACK AS RULER RUNS AFTER THE NEWCOMER AND CLOTHESLINES HER OVER THE TOP ROPE! JAMIE IS SENT TO RINGSIDE AS SHE COLLAPSES TO THE FLOOR! RULER LAUNCHES HIMSELF OVER THE TOP ROPE AND CONNECTS WITH A TOPÉ CON HILO TO JAMIE! Jamie is almost crushed like a pancake as Ruler is feeling good about himself! Ruler grabs Jamie and throws her onto the steel steps! Ouch! Jamie is clutching the back of her neck in pain as Ruler extends his hands out in confidence! I don’t think that this crowd likes Ruler much! :lupe:
Stew-O: I don’t think that Ruler cares, Jake! Ruler is looking to inflict as much pain as possible! He gets Jamie Cross up to her feet before throwing her stomach first onto our table — skldjgljsdljgklsd — NOW, THAT GOT ME NERVOUS THERE! BUT, IT SEEMS LIKE OUR TABLE IS NOT WHAT RULER WAS TARGETING WHEN HE THREW JAMIE TO THE FRONT OF IT! RULER TAKES JAMIE NEAR THE STEEL RING POST! HE GETS JAMIE IN A POWER BOMB POSITION AND JUST THINKING OF THE POTENTIAL WAYS THIS COULD HURT JAMIE IS WHAT IS MAKING ME MORE NERVOUS, GUYS! :LUPE: WE ARE GOING TO SEE RULER CONNECT WITH AN ALLY OOP AS HE CONNECTS WITH A REVERSE POWER BOMB, THROWING JAMIE BEHIND HIM AND TO THE STEEL RING POST —
Flannery McCoy: No, Stew! Like a spider monkey, Jamie Cross manages to catch herself on the steel ring post! I think that she saved herself from a ton of damage that could have been inflicted on her! Ruler turns around and realizes that Jamie caught herself! Ruler goes right after her, but Jamie throws a back elbow to Ruler’s face! Then, Jamie follows that up with a tilt-a-whirl head scissors takedown! Ruler’s face collides with that steel ring post as Jamie might have found her opening to make a comeback in this match up! Jamie realizes that just now as she gets Ruler and rolls him underneath the bottom rope! Jamie finds herself on the apron as she is jumping and waiting for Ruler to start showing sights of getting up! ONCE SHE SEES RULER SLOWLY FINDING HIS WAY UP, JAMIE LAUNCHES HERSELF THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AND CONNECTS WITH A SLINGSHOT SPEAR AS SHE TAKES RULER DOWN! JAMIE WITH THE COVER! IS THIS GOING TO BE ENOUGH TO PUT RULER DOWN?!?!?
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Ruler kicks out before the referee could smack his hand down for a third time! Jamie Cross places her hands on her hips as she tries to look for a way to get Ruler to stay down for the three count! Jamie gets Ruler up to his feet as she leads him to one of the corners! I think that we’re going to be seeing Jamie ending this match, guys! I think that we’re going to be seeing the ‘Jamie Special’ — the swinging neckbreaker from the top rope! I understand this approach! Ruler has such a taller frame; he weighs more than Jamie, so the bigger they are, the bigger they fall, so you gotta think of something big to take him down!
Stew-O: This could be dangerous, Jake! Jamie Cross is finding herself on the top rope as she gets Ruler up on the top rope along with her! Ruler is showing some fight, not wanting to find himself on the top rope along with her! RULER BEGINS TO THROW SOME FISTS TO JAMIE AS SHE IS NOT ALLOWING HER GRASP ON RULER TO LOOSEN UP! JAMIE BEGINS TO PUNCH THE SPINE OF RULER, BUT RULER CONNECTS WITH A MASSIVE PUNCH TO THE GUT! JAMIE CONNECTS WITH A PUNCH TO RULER’S SPINE AGAIN! SHE IS DOING WHAT SHE CAN TO WEAKEN HIM! BUT, RULER CONNECTS WITH A HEADBUTT AS THAT CAUSES FOR JAMIE TO STUMBLE BACK AND OH GOD —
(Both Ruler and Jamie Cross stumble onto the apron. Jamie grabs onto Ruler’s arm at the last second, which causes him to fall onto the apron along with Jamie. Jamie tries to create some distance as she clutches to the top rope and uses it to lift herself up her feet. Ruler does the same thing as he looks across Jamie on the apron. Both of them are in a vulnerable position where one wrong move could determine a victory or loss from them.)
Flannery McCoy: Now, these two are in a troubling situation! The two Elitists are looking at each other, wondering who is going to deliver the first shot! But, Ruler goes charging after her delivering a huge boot to the face! But, Jamie ducks the boot as she takes him down with a dragon screw leg whip as he collapses to the apron! Jamie creates some distance for herself as she watches Ruler get himself into position! HE FINDS HIMSELF IN A SITTING POSITION AS JAMIE RUNS AFTER HIM AND CONNECTS WITH A CANNONBALL SENTON ON THE APRON! RULER FALLS OFF THE APRON AS JAMIE USES THE BOTTOM ROPE TO CATCH HER AS SHE SITS HERSELF ON THE APRON! SHE PROCEEDS TO GET HERSELF BACK TO HER FEET AS SHE CLUTCHES TO THE TOP ROPE! SHE IS GESTURING FOR RULER TO FIND HIMSELF TO HIS FEET AS —
Jake Mercer: Jamie Cross with an apron kick! No, Ruler tries to use his hand to swipe the feet from underneath Jamie, but Jamie jumps over them as she connects with a superkick to the back of his head! Jamie gets on the shoulders of Ruler! SHE USES HER LEGS TO THROW RULER FORWARD INTO THE STEEL STEPS! RULER’S HEAD CRASHES ONTO STEEL STEPS AS JAMIE GETS RULER ONCE MORE AND THROWS HIM INSIDE THE RING! JAMIE SLINGSHOTS HERSELF THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AGAIN AND CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER SLINGSHOT SPEAR! JAMIE WITH THE COVER!
OOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTT—
Stew-O: RULER KICKS OUT! JAMIE CROSS IS STUNNED AT THE MOMENT! SHE THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS GOING TO TAKE HIM DOWN! SHE SLAMS HER HAND AGAINST THE MAT, TRYING TO HYPE HERSELF UP AS SHE GETS BACK UP! JAMIE GRABS THE NAPE OF RULER’S NECK AS IT SEEMS LIKE SHE’S GOING BACK TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND ATTEMPTING THE ‘JAMIE SPECIAL AGAIN!’ I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW DANGEROUS THIS MOVE CAN POSSIBLY BE! JAMIE CLIMBS ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AS SHE SETS UP RULER FOR HER FINISHER —
Flannery McCoy: — RULER CONNECTS WITH A PUNCH TO JAMIE CROSS’ STOMACH! AND ANOTHER PUNCH AS JAMIE RELEASES HER GRASP OF RULER AS HE DROPS DOWN FROM THE TURNBUCKLE! HE HOISTS UP JAMIE BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB! I CANNOT IMAGINE HOW JAMIE’S SPINE FEELS AFTER THAT POWERBOMB! JAMIE IS CLUTCHING TO HER LOWER SPINE, TRYING TO GET HERSELF BACK UP TO HER FEET! MEANWHILE, RULER PULLS HER CLOSER AND CONNECTS WITH THE ‘WILL OF NICHOLAS’ AS THAT PLANTS HER DOWN! RULER BEGINS TO BACK AWAY, LEANING TOWARDS THE CORNER AS HE HAS SUCH A SADISTIC GRIN ON HIS FACE! I THINK THAT WE’RE GOING TO BE SEEING THE END HERE, MY FRIENDS! RULER CHARGES FORWARD AT JAMIE!
Jake Mercer: ‘THE REVOLUTIONIZER’ — THE SPINNING BACK HEEL KICK ON JAMIE CROSS AS HE SENDS THE YOUNG WOMAN TO HER BACK AS SHE’S CLEARLY UNCONSCIOUS! RULER MOMENTS AWAY FROM CLOSING THIS MATCH — WAIT, WHAT IN THE HELL???
(The crowd goes completely antsy with anticipating as Joso, who had qualified for the Cash in the Vault ladder match earlier tonight appears walking down the ramp.)
Stew-O: Why is Joso out here? :skip:
Flannery McCoy: I think that he may be scouting his Cash in the Vault competition. Ruler did qualify for the match already, so Joso is looking to see this match up close.
(Ruler has completely ignored the match going on at the moment. With Jamie Cross unconscious, he has placed his focus on Joso. Ruler drops to a cross-cross applesauce, more than welcoming Joso into the ring to fight. Meanwhile, Joso is amused. He lets his shades fall to the bridge of his nose, really getting a good look at Ruler and the action at ringside. He uses his middle and index finger to push his glasses back into place.)
Jake Mercer: I don’t think that Joso has any intentions of getting inside that ring. He already competed earlier tonight against Keogo Leoso. He doesn’t need to find himself in another fight
(Joso is holding his hands up in defense, he doesn’t want to get himself into a fight with Ruler. The two Elitist begin to have an exchange of words with Ruler telling Joso to “stop being a p*ssy” and to get inside the ring with him. Meanwhile, Joso is like: “I’m p*ssy?” Almost like that one fish from SpongeBob: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E2SzyKkVUAMyfLK?format=jpg&name=small )
Stew-O: Ruler is egging for Joso to fight him inside the ring, but from behind! Jamie Cross connects with a deadly knee strike to the back of Ruler’s skull as that causes his upper body to fall forward, BUT LOOK AT THIS! JAMIE WITH A BASEMENT LA MAGISTRAL PIN ATTEMPT AS SHE MANAGES TO GET RULER THERE! RULER IS DOING EVERYTHING TO KICK OUT OF THE PIN ATTEMPT AS THE REFEREE GETS INTO POSITION FOR THE COUNT!
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Anti Hero [Rock Version]’ plays once more as Jamie Cross immediately slides out of the ring before Ruler could beat the holy heck out of here. Ruler was so close to getting his hands on Jamie, but Jamie manages to escape. Ruler cannot believe what just happened as Jamie is in a state of shock at the moment as she raises her hand in victory.)
Stephie Love: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH…JAMIE CROSS!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: :damn: Jamie Cross just got one over the former New Breed Champion!
Jake Mercer: The way that she went for La Magistral, also known as a arm-wrench inside cradle or if you’re one of them hispanics, it’s referred to ‘La Casita,’ originated by the Casas family, The pin was super creative here! Jamie Cross should be very proud that she managed to get the victory here!
Stew-O: Ruler was seconds away from ending this match. He had Jamie Cross exactly where he wanted her. If Joso didn’t find himself near ringside, Ruler would have walked out with the victory, but Jamie Cross was a very bright lady tonight, who saw her opening and capitalized on that. She redeemed herself from last week and I can’t wait to see how things go for her in this road to Pain for Pride.
Flannery McCoy: As for Joso and Ruler, I feel like things aren’t completely over for these two. :lupe:
(A commercial is shown for Pain For Pride featuring the Cash in The Vault match.)
(Friday Night Dynasty fades back into the arena with the crowd buzzing in anticipation for what’s to come next on what’s already been a great show. They suddenly erupt into thunderous cheers upon hearing ‘Runnin’ by 21 Savage & Metro Boomin playing through the speakers. The camera pans over to show Bronson Daniels beginning to make his way out from the backstage area. He has a light smile on his face as he scans around at the hyped-up crowd here tonight in Biloxi, but it’s clear that he’s not in the best of moods tonight, especially after what happened last week. He takes a moment before then beginning to make his way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… BRONSON DANIELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Last week Bronson got himself the opportunity that he was waiting for, facing Ruler and Axel Graves for a chance to enter the Cash in The Vault match at Pain For Pride. He was inches away from winning the entire thing, but after what happened to start the show, Andre Walker wasn’t going to let him get that pleasure.
Flannery McCoy: Andre cost him that match and swept it right out from under him, allowing Ruler to seize the opportunity and come out victorious. I’m sure after that all Bronson sees is red now, looking to get his revenge on Andre in any way possible, more than just tying up poor Albert Hitchman. It’s certainly going to be interesting to see what comes off tonight.
Jake Mercer: What’s going to happen? Bronson Daniels is going to LEARN firsthand why he made the mistake of pursuing The Kaiser, and why he is going to show him no mercy the first chance that he gets to get his hands on him. He may think that he’s done something now, but he’s in for a rude awakening once he finds out just how far Andre Walker can go, that’s all I’m going to say goddammit!
(Bronson makes his way up the steps and onto the apron, entering through the ropes before making his way over to get a microphone from the ringside area. ‘Runnin’ from there begins to come to a close while Bronson begins to make his way over to the center of the ring. He takes a moment before from there bringing his microphone up to his mouth and beginning to speak.)
Bronson Daniels: I’m an Elitist that has some pretty thick skin. A lot has been thrown at me since my return to this company one year ago, and even then I’ve far established the fact that none of it is going to ever keep me down. So when people ask me how I feel about Andre Walker interfering in my match last week and ruining what I’ve been working toward these past couple of weeks now, I’m not hurt by it. But I won’t deny that it has me feeling a sort of way. Cash in The Vault was my ticket to finally stopping this never-ending loop of coming up short and finally winning my first World Championship in this company just as everyone else has before me, but that was taken away from me. Andre Walker took that away from me and now my Pain For Pride plans consist of a whole lot of nothing when it should’ve been me finally finishing what I started. It would be demoralizing for anyone else, from a Grand Rampage loss to this, it’s not something to be taken lightly at all. But while pondering on what could’ve been is an easy thing to do, I’m more set on looking toward what’s next for me.
Bronson Daniels: You see it may seem a bit off-putting, but I’d actually like to thank Andre for what he did. I’d like to thank him because if he didn’t do that, I wouldn’t have realized my true purpose heading into Pain For Pride. I wouldn’t have pondered much on the idea that even after everything that happened there was no escaping the fact that the two of us would be on a crash course for one another, I was too engrossed with the idea of qualifying for Cash in The Vault by beating Ruler and Axel, which I know I would have. But now that that’s not happening and my calendar is free from June 16th to the 18th, there’s nothing stopping me from finally finishing this little conflict that the two of us have been having these past couple of years once and for all. So let’s stop beating around the bush, and let’s make this match official for Pain For Pride.
(Bronson lowers his microphone and turns toward the stage, the crowd cheering loudly upon hearing him lay down the challenge for Nashville. There’s a moment of silence, with the suspense in the building continuing to build with the question of whether or not Andre Walker is going to come out and respond. Before long, ‘Leaving Caladan’ by Hans Zimmer is then heard playing, with the crowd reacting loudly to the former World Heavyweight Champion’s theme. After a moment…)
???: I’m sorry if I’m not the person you’re looking for…
(The crowd boos loudly upon hearing the familiar voice, and the camera goes over to show a timid Albert Hitchman beginning to slowly make his way out from the backstage area. Obviously, after what happened last week, he’s not in the best shape mentally, and it’s clear that he’s still pretty shaken up about what Bronson did to him. Regardless he’s out here tonight and Bronson can’t help but smirk because of this. ‘Leaving Caladan’ begins to fade out while Albert makes his way down the ramp, seemingly having no intentions of getting into the ring, but having a microphone in his hand as he looks to speak.)
Albert Hitchman: Unfortunately, Andre Walker is unable to be here tonight, leaving me to… come out here and speak to you…
(Albert is clearly scared, feeling a sense of helplessness as he inches down the ramp. Bronson sees that, but lets him speak.)
Albert Hitchman: I would like to say that I… understand… where your frustration is coming from, Bronson. There was a reason you did what you did last week, and a part of me doesn’t want to be mad at you for that… for some particular reason… I’m willing to look past everything considering how Andre responded, and I hope you are as well. You want a match against Andre Walker at Pain For Pride, to finally finish this journey that the two of you have been on since you two first encountered in that fateful New Breed Championship match… and I speak on behalf of Andre Walker in saying that he… accepts your challenge.
(The crowd cheers loudly at the Pain For Pride match being made official, Bronson continuing to smirk as he looks to speak again, but before he can, Albert continues.)
Albert Hitchman: Now this may be asking for too much… and I understand if that’s the case. But if you wouldn’t mind, Bronson Daniels, I would look to possibly enter the ring to shake your hand and make the match official. Is that alright?
(Bronson is unsure of this, whether or not this is a trap or not is something that he has to take into account no matter the state that Albert is in.)
Albert Hitchman: I’d like to clarify if you are uncertain that I am not the one that has personal issues with you, even after what has happened. It is strictly between you and Andre.
(Bronson continues to think about it before finally nodding his head.)
Bronson Daniels: Sure man.
(Albert quickly climbs up onto the apron and enters the ring, approaching Bronson as the two of them shake hands quickly. The crowd once again cheers loudly for this.)
Bronson Daniels: Tell your client I said good luck.
(Suddenly… Albert would smirk…)
Albert Hitchman: Tell him yourself.
Stew-O: WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! THAT’S ANDRE! HE JUST JUMPED THE BARRICADE AND IS BOLTING TO THE RING FROM THE CROWD! HE SLIDES INTO THE RING… BEFORE LAUNCHING INTO THE AIR AND GOING FOR A ‘KAISER’S TOUCH’ SUPERMAN PUNCH TO THE BACK OF BRONSON’S HEAD!
Flannery McCoy: NO! BRONSON JUST SNATCHED HIS HAND AWAY AND MOVED OUT OF THE WAY, ANDRE JUST STRUCK ALBERT!
(Andre looks down at Albert, looking shocked at this turn of events, clearly, this did not go to plan already. He turns around…)
Jake Mercer: NO! NO! NO! ‘CHROME HEART TAGS’ TO ANDRE! GODDAMMIT! CURSE YOU!
(Bronson connects with the Spinning Roundhouse Kick before then sliding out of the ring. The crowd cheers loudly for this while he raises his hands into the air, ‘Runnin’ beginning to play up as well. After a while Andre recovers and is checking on a downed Albert Hitchman, looking up to see Bronson backpedaling up the ramp, trash-talking him while he does. Andre is absolutely livid, shaking his head in frustration as it’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty, from there, begins to fade out elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for the Dragon Ball Super manga currently running now.)
(Friday Night Dynasty fades back into the arena, with Stephie Love seen standing by inside the ring with a microphone in hand, ready to announce the next match!)
Stephie Love: The following TAG TEAM CONTEST is your MAIN EVENT!!! And it is a bout scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘5 Milli’ by Icewear Vezzo is heard playing through the speakers with the crowd responding with a loud negative reaction upon seeing the Visual Prophet begin to make his way out to the stage. He has a smirk on his face as he basks in the crowd’s reaction toward him, but before he can go any further, his theme is replaced by ‘Toad’ by Justin Hurwitz which plays up with the crowd responding with cheers for Scott Diamond who is seen beginning to make his way out. Viz looks toward him with an arrogant grin but Scott just completely ignores him, focusing straight on the ring as he begins to make his way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… the team of EAW HALL OF FAMER SCOTT DIAMOND AND THE VISUAL PROPHET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Enemy Strike’ by Yuki Hayashi is then heard playing up with the crowd giving a mixed reaction for Sunday Night Voltage’s Myles who is seen making his way out with a serious look on his face. He’s still visibly unhappy with what occurred earlier in the night but seeks to look past it for the greater good when it comes to this main event matchup. He stands on the stage while his theme is replaced by ‘Limit Break X Survivor’ by Kiyoshi Hikawa [DUB] leaving the crowd to absolutely erupt for the World Heavyweight Champion Limmy Monaghan who makes his way out. He points to the sky while pyro is seen shooting out before then looking over at Myles, who looks down at his title before looking back up at him, the two then begin to make their way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Stephie Love: And their opponents… the team of MYLES AND THE EAW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION LIMMY MONAGHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: The bell has rung, and our main event is officially underway! The World Heavyweight Champion Limmy Monaghan teams up with his Pain For Pride challenger Myles against the team of Scott Diamond and the Visual Prophet! With us already knowing the pending issues between Viz and Scott, you can’t help but wonder whether or not what happened between Limmy and Myles earlier in the night will play a part in this match.
Flannery McCoy: Myles believes that Limmy takes him to be some sort of charity case, and with that pent-up aggression you can’t help but wonder whether or not that’s going to play a part in this match especially with him starting off for his team. On the other hand we have Scott starting for his, and this is definitely going to be an interesting matchup with both Elitists beginning to make their way out of their respective corners. It seems like they’re going to start this match off with a lock up, BUT BEFORE THEY CAN, MYLES BOOTS SCOTT IN THE ABDOMEN!
Jake Mercer: Scott is taken aback by this while Myles seizes him by the head before then beginning to fire away with stiff forearm strikes to the face! This pushes Scott against the ropes and Myles wastes no time grabbing him by the wrist before sending him to the opposite side with an Irish whip… GOING UNDER AND SLIPPING BEHIND HIM BEFORE TRYING FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX- But that doesn’t happen with Scott connecting with a back elbow to the face which forces him to let go! Myles stumbles back, BUT SWINGS AT HIM WITH A CLOTHESLINE- JUST FOR SCOTT TO DUCK UNDER AND GRAB HIM AROUND THE WAIST TO CONNECT WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX OF HIS OWN!
Stew-O: Myles is dropped down on his head but rolls backward into a kneeling position, JUST FOR SCOTT TO TRY AND GO FOR A RUNNING KNEE TO THE FACE- But Myles manages to push his leg away and get back up to his feet while Scott dips down to a knee himself, ONLY FOR MYLES TO SPIN AROUND AND BOOT HIM AGAINST THE SIDE OF THE FACE! Scott manages to stay up, BUT MYLES MAKES SURE THAT’S ONLY TEMPORARY, GRABBING HIM BY THE HEAD AND SLAMMING HIM DOWN VIOLENTLY ONTO THE CANVAS! He isn’t done, as he mounts on top of him and begins to rain down punches on his skull!
Flannery McCoy: The two of them have been going at each other so far, and it seems like Myles has the high ground right now, beginning to get back up to his feet before then turning around and running the ropes… LEAPING UP AND GOING FOR A KNEE DROP TO THE HEAD- BUT HE DOESN’T SEE SCOTT GET UP TO HIS FEET AND CATCH HIM BEFORE LAUNCHING HIM INTO A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX! Myles takes a hard tumble to the ground, BUT ROLLING OUT OF THE RING TO KEEP HIMSELF ON HIS FEET BEFORE PULLING SCOTT OUT ALONG WITH HIM! Scott tries to fight back but clearly he’s been taken by surprise thanks to all of this, AND MYLES TAKES ADVANTAGE BY GRABBING A HOLD OF HIM AROUND THE WAIST AND DRIVING HIM INTO THE EDGE OF THE RING APRON!
Jake Mercer: Scott gives a cry of pain but instantly muscles through it as he grabs Myles, BEFORE RAMMING HIM INTO THE BARRICADE! But Myles refuses to let himself go down like this, GRABBING SCOTT AND RAMMING HIM INTO THE RING APRON A SECOND TIME! Scott is hurt and while Myles is the same he still finds it in him to roll Scott into the ring before climbing up onto the apron and beginning to scale upward to the top turnbuckle. Scott stumbles up to his feet, continuing to fight through the pain, BUT DOESN’T SEE MYLES LAUNCHING OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND CONNECTING WITH A DIVING METEORA TO TAKE HIM OUT! MYLES HOOKS THE LEG!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Stew-O: BUT SCOTT KICKS OUT! Myles sits up, his patience being put to the test now as he makes his way over reluctantly to his corner, it seems he’s going to utilize the tag team aspect of this match and tag out to his partner to give him a chance to recuperate…
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: WHICH HE DOES! The World Heavyweight Champion has entered this match! Limmy enters the ring and makes his way over to Scott who is up in a kneeling position, obviously the two of them having some history together with Scott being a title defense for Limmy during his reign. IT SEEMS LIKE SCOTT WAS REMINDED OF THAT, IN AN INSTANT GRABBING LIMMY AROUND THE WAIST AND GETTING BACK UP TO HIS FEET BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP AND SLAMMING HIM AGAINST THE CORNER TURNBUCKLE PADDING! Limmy is taken aback by this, WITH SCOTT TRANSITIONING INTO SHOULDER THRUSTS TOWARD HIS ABDOMEN!
Jake Mercer: Limmy is definitely hurting thanks to this early flurry of offense, and Scott makes sure to follow that up by grabbing him around the waist and pulling him out of the corner… BUT LIMMY MANAGES TO BREAK FREE BEFORE LEAPING UP INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A HIGH KNEE TO THE FACE! Scott stumbles back, BEFORE LIMMY FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A BICYCLE KICK TO THE FACE! Scott is hurt but somehow is still up on his feet, WITH LIMMY CONNECTING WITH A THIRD OFFENSIVE MANEUVER WITH A DROPKICK! Scott falls against the corner but it looks like he still has a lot more in the tank despite everything that’s been thrown at him…
(TAG!)
Stew-O: BUT VIZ TAGS HIMSELF IN!
(Scott immediately turns with a pissed expression on his face to a chuckling Viz who enters into the ring and gets ready to enter this match. Scott glares at him, but can only watch on with a pissed look on his face before stepping onto the apron.)
Flannery McCoy: Viz is entering into this match, AND LIMMY WASTES NO TIME GOING FOR A BOOT TO THE FACE- But Viz grabs the leg before shoving it away! Limmy stumbles back but rushes toward him, JUST FOR VIZ TO GRAB A HOLD OF HIM AND DRIVE HIM DOWN WITH A SNAP POWERSLAM! Limmy is taken down and Viz immediately grabs him around the neck and brings him back up, BEFORE SENDING HIM FLYING ACROSS THE RING! The World Heavyweight Champion takes a hard tumble but skids up to a kneeling position, while Viz runs to the ropes and back… BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND ATTEMPTING TO CONNECT WITH A SHOULDER TACKLE-
Jake Mercer: BUT LIMMY MOVES OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE GETTING UP AND LAUNCHING HIMSELF INTO THE AIR FOR A HUGE ‘DIABLE JAMBE’! BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE TO TAKE VIZ OUT!
Stew-O: BUT WAIT! VIZ JUST LIFTED LIMMY ONTO HIS SHOULDERS! WHAT THE HELL?! HE JUST DID ‘THE VORTEX’! F5 TO LIMMY AS HE CONNECTS WITH HIS PARTNER SCOTT DIAMOND’S OWN MOVE! LIMMY IS TAKEN OUT AND VIZ ROLLS HIM ONTO HIS BACK AND GOES FOR A PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHR-
Flannery McCoy: LIMMY KICKS OUT!
(Scott watches on from the apron with an even more displeased expression on his face, while Viz is grinning from ear to ear while getting back up to his feet.)
Jake Mercer: It seems like Viz is trying to get into the head of Scott, possibly as payback for what’s been happening the past couple of weeks with them. And he knows that Scott can’t do anything about it. Viz is back up and I don’t think he notices that Limmy is recovering quickly as well, he turns around and makes his way over to him, just for Limmy to connect with an elbow to the face! This sends Viz back and gives Limmy the opportunity to get some breathing room right now…
Stew-O: BUT THAT DOESN’T GET HIM VERY FAR AS VIZ LIFTS HIM UP INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY AND TRIES TO DROP HIM DOWN WITH THE ‘PROPHET DRIVER’! DEATH VALLEY DRIVER TO LIMMY!
Flannery McCoy: BUT LIMMY MANAGES TO SLIP OFF HIS SHOULDER AND LAND BEHIND VIZ! HE THEN HOOKS THE ARMS BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP AND DROPPING HIM ONTO HIS HEAD WITH A SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! Limmy with some enormous strength managed to lift Viz off of the ground and take him out. He falls back against the corner before then beginning to make his way up to the top rope, trying to crush Viz from beneath! BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO THAT VIZ GETS UP TO HIS FEET- BUT LIMMY SEES THAT COMING AND MANAGES TO BOOT HIM IN THE FACE! Viz stumbles back, ONLY FOR LIMMY TO LEAP OFF THE TOP WITH A DIVING KNEE TO HIS FACE! Viz is on wobbly legs right now as he turns around, ONLY FOR LIMMY TO LAUNCH THROUGH THE AIR AND CONNECT WITH A SLING BLADE! Limmy then rolls back up to his feet before running the ropes and back, all while Viz is trying to get his bearings and recuperate…
Jake Mercer: JUST TO CONNECT WITH A ‘DIABLE JAMBE’! THE BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE CONNECTS ACROSS THE FACE OF THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION AND TAKES HIM OUT! LIMMY WASTES NO TIME DROPPING DOWN AND HOOKING THE LEG, TRYING FOR A PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRR-
Stew-O: BUT VIZ DOESN’T ALLOW THAT AS HE MANAGES TO KICK OUT JUST IN TIME! Viz is down and clearly feeling the effects of the offense that Limmy has hit him with in this match, meanwhile Limmy is getting back up to his feet and it seems like he’s making his way over to his corner to tag in a Myles that has been eager to get back into this match and dish out some more offense…
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: Myles is tagged back in! He enters into the ring and grabs a hold of Viz before bringing him back up to his feet and sending him to the ropes, JUST FOR VIZ TO TAKE HIM DOWN WITH A SHOULDER TACKLE UPON REBOUNDING! Viz then runs to the ropes and back while Myles is dropped down to the ground… JUST FOR MYLES TO LEAP INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH A DROPKICK TO THE CHEST! Viz slides down to a seated position, but tries to get back up to his feet, JUST FOR MYLES TO CONNECT WITH A KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE! Viz is hurt, WHILE MYLES REELS HIS LEG BACK AND CONNECTS WITH A SECOND ONE FOR GOOD MEASURE!
Jake Mercer: Viz is taken down while Myles grabs a hold of him by the arm and brings him back up to his feet, BUT IT DOESN’T LAST FOR LONG WITH VIZ CONNECTING WITH A FOREARM SMASH TO THE FACE! Myles goes limp in the arms of Viz, AS HE PULLS HIM IN BEFORE LAUNCHING HIM INTO A HUGE BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX! Myles is dropped down but continues to stagger up to his feet, JUST FOR VIZ TO TURN HIM AROUND AND LIFT HIM OFF OF THE GROUND BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN WITH A SIDEWALK SLAM!
Stew-O: Myles is feeling the hurt right now, and he has no response to the offense that Viz is throwing at him right now. Myles stumbles back up to his feet, rushing toward Viz with the last bit of energy that he has left in his body, BUT VIZ MANAGES TO GRAB A HOLD OF HIM BEFORE LIFTING HIM OFF OF THE GROUND AND SENDING HIM PLUMMETING DOWN WITH A HUGE BACK BODY DROP- NO! MYLES SLIPS OUT BEFORE GRABBING A HOLD OF THE HEAD AND DRIVING VIZ DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A DDT!
Flannery McCoy: Myles stumbles back up and begins to stomp down on the body of Viz, trying to soften him up in hopes of finding the opportunity to somehow generate an ounce of offense. He stumbles back while Viz is beginning to get back up to his feet, Myles running toward him…
Jake Mercer: JUST FOR VIZ TO SPIN AROUND AND CONNECT WITH AN ‘IKE TURNER SPECIAL’ SPINNING BACK FIST ACROSS THE FACE OF MYLES CONNECTS AND MYLES STUMBLES BACK AGAINST THE ROPES AND REBOUNDS OFF OF THEM…
Stew-O: JUST TO FOLLOW THAT UP WITH ‘KISS TO THE HEAD’! BULLHAMMER ELBOW STRIKE!
Flannery McCoy: BUT MYLES DUCKS UNDER, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH ‘IFRIT JAMBE’! BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE SENDS VIZ BACK TO THE ROPES WHICH IS THE ONLY THING KEEPING HIM UP!
(Limmy smiles.)
Jake Mercer: Myles turns around and dips down to a knee, and it seems like he wants to tag out to Limmy to get him back into this match. He stumbles back up to his feet before then beginning to make his way over to the corner, with the crowd rallying behind the former EAW World Champion as he holds onto what he has left with the last of his being. Myles is making his way over trying to get the tag out, but Viz has just turned him around and tries to strike him!
Stew-O: JUST FOR MYLES TO LIFT HIM INTO A ‘VICTORIA’! POP-UP KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE OF VIZ SENDS HIM STAGGERING BACK WHILE MYLES TURNS AROUND!
(TAG!)
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: LIMMY IS TAGGED IN! BUT VIZ TAGS OUT TO SCOTT AS WELL! Both of them enter into the ring, JUST FOR LIMMY TO GO FOR A FOREARM SMASH- Scott ducks under, TURNING AROUND AND GOING FOR A LARIAT TO THE HEAD- But Limmy ducks under that, Scott turns around, ONLY TO BE MET WITH A HIGH KNEE TO THE FACE! This sends Scott stumbling back and Limmy immediately grabs a hold of him by the arm and sends him to the opposite side of the ring with an Irish whip… GOING FOR ANOTHER SLINGBLADE TO SCOTT!
Jake Mercer: BUT SCOTT MOVES! Limmy is taken down while Scott grabs him from behind, LIFTING HIM UP AND DROPPING HIM WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! Limmy is out and Scott immediately rolls through while keeping a hold of him, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SECOND GERMAN SUPLEX! Limmy is hurt and Scott is far from finished, GOING FOR A THIRD GERMAN SUPLEX- BUT LIMMY BREAKS FREE BEFORE SPINNING AROUND BEHIND HIM AND LIFTING HIM UP OFF THE GROUND AND CONNECTING WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX DOWN ONTO HIS HEAD!
Stew-O: Both of them are just going at one another right now with everything that they’ve got, Scott beginning to make his way back up to his feet while Limmy approaches him, GRABBING HIM BY THE HEAD AND GOING FOR A DDT ATTEMPT- BUT THAT DOESN’T CONNECT WITH SCOTT LIFTING HIM UP AND CONNECTING WITH A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX! SCOTT BRIDGES INTO A PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT LIMMY KICKS OUT! Both of them scramble back up to their feet realizing just how dire this situation has become in a heartbeat…
Jake Mercer: SCOTT CONNECTS WITH A ‘POINT BLANK BICYCLE KICK’!
Stew-O: BUT LIMMY ABSORBS IT BEFORE SIZING HIM UP FOR A ‘DIABLE JAMBE’! BICYCLE KNEE CONNECTS TO FOLLOW THAT UP AND BOTH ELITISTS FALL DOWN TO THE GROUND! THEIR ENERGY IS DEPLETED, THEY KNOW WHAT THEY NEED TO DO, THEY NEED TO TAG OUT!
(Limmy reaches out and tries his best to crawl over to the corner, on the other hand Scott is doing the same, reaching out to Viz who is looking to get tagged in just as Myles is right now. Limmy is closer though, leaping forward…)
Flannery McCoy: WHAT THE?! MYLES JUST JUMPED OFF THE APRON! LIMMY CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT HE’S SEEING RIGHT NOW!
(Limmy is wide eyed, yelling to Myles and asking what the hell has gotten into him. Myles just simply stares at him, emotionless, while Limmy tries his best to get up, immediately knowing that he’s going to have to fight this match on his own.)

Jake Mercer: Myles must’ve let the words get to him earlier in the night, he’s left Limmy for dead! Limmy pushes himself back up to his feet, he’s fighting for his life to even get his bearings back as he turns around…
Stew-O: SCOTT TAGS OUT! ‘KISS TO THE HEAD’ BY VIZ! BULLHAMMER ELBOW STRIKE CONNECTS ACROSS THE FACE!
Flannery McCoy: Viz drags Limmy toward the center of the ring, but right now it doesn’t look like he’s going for the pin, not just yet! He falls to the corner, and it looks like he’s about to take Limmy out with one more for good measure, sizing him up…
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: WHAT THE HELL?! SCOTT JUST TAGGED HIMSELF IN!
(Viz looks shocked as he quickly turns around, arguing with Scott who just ruined what would’ve been a second ‘Kiss To The Head’. Scott though, only smiles.)
Stew-O: Uh oh…
Flannery McCoy: SCOTT LIFTS HIM ONTO HIS SHOULDERS WHILE STILL ON THE APRON, CONNECTING WITH ‘THE VORTEX’! F5 OFF THE APRON SENDING VIZ CRASHING DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE AREA! OH MY GOD! HOW MANY OF THESE PARTNER BETRAYALS ARE WE GOING TO GET?!
Jake Mercer: Scott enters the ring and makes his way over to a barely conscious Limmy Monaghan who is beginning to get back up to his feet…
Stew-O: BEFORE SCOTT LIFTS HIM UP AND GOES FOR ‘THE VORTEX’ ON HIM AS WELL!
Flannery McCoy: BUT LIMMY SLIPS OUT! HE LIFTS SCOTT UP OFF THE GROUND! HE’S TRYING FOR ‘GOD’S WRATH’! ONE-HANDED ELECTRIC CHAIR DRIVER!
Jake Mercer: BUT EVEN THOUGH HE HAD SCOTT UP, HE SUCCUMBS TO THE WEAR AND TEAR AND ULTIMATELY DROPS HIM DOWN! LIMMY DROPS DOWN TO A KNEE BUT RUSHES TOWARD SCOTT!
Stew-O: JUST FOR SCOTT TO LIFT HIM OFF OF THE GROUND AND PLANT HIM WITH ‘THE VORTEX’ ONCE AND FOR ALL! SCOTT DIAMOND WITH THE DAGGER AS HE GOES FOR THE PIN ON THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Toad’ begins to play through the speakers again, with an exhausted Scott Diamond beginning to make his way back up to his feet, looking down at an unconscious Limmy Monaghan while the referee makes his way over and raises his hand up high in the air, signaling he… and his team… have come out victorious. The Visual Prophet is seen knocked out on the outside, while the referee quickly goes to check on him, and Scott raises a hand in the air to signal a huge victory tonight on Dynasty.)
Stephie Love: Here are your winners… the team of THE VISUAL PROPHET AND SCOTT DIAMOND-
(CRACK!)
Flannery McCoy: OH MY GOD! MYLES JUST SLID INTO THE RING AND HE JUST SLAMMED A STEEL CHAIR AGAINST THE SKULL OF A RECOVERING LIMMY MONAGHAN! AND HOW HE’S JUST TEEING OFF ON LIMMY, SLAMMING DOWN THE CHAIR ONTO HIS CHEST OVER AND OVER AGAIN! COME ON MYLES!
Jake Mercer: MYLES WANTED TO SEND A MESSAGE TO LIMMY, TO PROVE THAT HE WASN’T JUST GIFTED THIS OPPORTUNITY BY THE CHAMPION, THAT HE DESERVES THIS! AND HE’S LOOKING TO PUT THAT OUT THERE NOW!
(Officials swarm out to the ring and try to stop Myles, but he doesn’t look at all satisfied with what he’s done. He wants to truly make it known.)
Stew-O: MYLES SHOVES PAST THEM BEFORE TAKING THE CHAIR AGAIN AND USING THE EDGE OF IT TO REPEATEDLY DRIVE IT DOWN ONTO THE RIBS OF LIMMY! LIMMY IS GASPING FOR AIR AND SCREAMING IN PAIN AND MYLES IS JUST CONTINUING TO UNLOAD ON HIM! SOMEONE HAS TO STOP THIS!
(After some time, Myles finally relents. He never was out to injure Limmy, just send a message, but it seems like he let his emotions get in the way. Limmy is coughing for dear life, gasping and clutching his chest, nursing what appears to be injured ribs, signaling that the damage has already been done. Officials swarm around the World Heavyweight Champion while others try and escort Myles away from the scene. The chaotic and hectic scene is the last shot shown before Friday Night Dynasty then begins to fade to a complete black.)
